No full textTransport modal choice by multinational firms : firm-level evidence from Southeast Asia
Full text linkWe examine transport modal decision by multinational firms to shed light on the role of freight logistics in multinational activity. Using a firm-level survey in Southeast Asia, we show that foreign ownership has a significantly positive and quantitatively large impact on the likelihood that air/sea transportation is chosen relative to truck shipping. This result is robust to the shipping distance, cross-border freight, and transport infrastructure. Both foreign-owned exporters and importers also tend to use air/sea transportation. Thus, our analysis presents a new distinction between multinational and domestic firms in their decision over transport modes.International business enterprises, Industrial management, Transportation, Costs, Southeast Asia, Transport mode, Logistics, Multinational firms, Multinomial logit
Prognostic Impact of Stent Expansion Indices Following IVUS-Guided PCI: When Lumen Is Not Enough.
No full textFrequency and outcomes of periprocedural myocardial infarction in patients with chronic coronary syndromes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
No full textPURPOSE OF REVIEW
Various definitions of periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI) have been proposed by academic groups and professional societies differing in terms of biomarker thresholds and ancillary criteria for myocardial ischemia. The incidence and clinical significance of periprocedural MI substantially varies according to the definitions applied. In this review, we summarize available clinical data on the frequency and outcomes of periprocedural MI according to various MI definitions in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
RECENT FINDINGS
Numerous clinical studies and meta-analyses have investigated the incidence and prognostic relevance of periprocedural MI following PCI. The incidence of periprocedural MI was higher when defined by universal definition of myocardial infarction (UDMI), which applies a lower biomarker threshold with broader ancillary criteria compared with the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention (SCAI) and academic research consortium (ARC)-2. The prognostic impact of periprocedural MI defined by SCAI and ARC-2 on mortality was consistently greater compared with the UDMI definition.
SUMMARY
Among chronic coronary syndrome patients undergoing PCI, the frequency and prognostic value of periprocedural MI varies considerably based on definitions. Periprocedural MI defined by the ARC-2 and SCAI occurred 3-6 times less frequently and were prognostically more relevant as compared with the UDMI. Clinically relevant definitions should be used in daily practice and clinical trials

No full textThis paper proposes a new mechanism linking innovation and network in developing economies to detect explicit production and information linkages and investigates the testable implications of these linkages using survey data gathered from manufacturing firms in Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam. In-house R&D activities, internal resources, and linkages with local firms and foreign firms play a role in reducing the costs of product and process innovation and search costs for finding new suppliers and customers. We found that firms with more varieties of information linkages achieve more types of innovations. Complementarities between internal and external sources of knowledge are also found
