Credit Risk Management Practices and Loan Performance of Commercial Banks in Uganda. A Case Study of Commercial Banks in Mbarara City by Agaba, Francis

“…The study also recommended that Commercial banks should as well consider having in place effective credit standards, credit policy, credit terms and collection policies or procedures as mechanisms to guide their business, since the effectiveness of credit management is important to the successful management of banking institutions; that Commercial banks should as well operate their credit businesses based strictly by the established lending guidelines that outline the business growth priorities of the senior management, as well as the conditions to satisfy in order to qualify for loan approval; and that there should be prior customer evaluation before xiv loans are granted, and a continuous process of assessment before and during the course of loan repayment. …”

Expression analysis of LlMYC2 during the development of microbulbs in Lilium lancifolium(LlMYC2在卷丹微鳞茎发育过程中的表达分析) by 桑倩姿(SANG Qianzi), 陈妍竹(CHEN Yanzhu), 潘文强(PAN Wenqiang), 张铭芳(ZHANG Mingfang), 杨凤萍(YANG Fengping), 张婷(ZHANG Ting), 刘仲旭(LIU Zhongxu), 杜运鹏(DU Yunpeng), 曹丽(CAO Li)

“…MYC2 (myelocytomatosis protein 2) transcription factor is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor family and is a key regulator of the jasmonate signaling pathway, which is involved in plant growth, development, and defense processes. In this study, the LlMYC2 gene of Lilium lancifolium was cloned, and the function and expression of this gene were analyzed to preliminarily explore the mechanism by which the LlMYC2 gene regulates the expansion ofthe microbulbs (bulblets and bulbils) in Lilium lancifolium. …”

Extracellular vesicles derived microRNAs as non-invasive markers of liver fibrosis in chronically infected HCV patients: a pilot study by Victoria Cairoli, Daniel Valle-Millares, Pablo Ryan, Lourdes Dominguez, Luz Martín-Carbonero, Ignacio De los Santos, Elena De Matteo, Beatriz Ameigeiras, Marcela De Sousa, Verónica Briz, María V. Preciado, Amanda Fernández-Rodriguez, Pamela Valva

“…Among them, hsa-miR-3615 displayed the highest diagnostic performance to discriminate F ≥ 2 (AUROC = 0.936).With respect to HCV+/HIV+, 18 SDE miRNAs (hsa-miR-4508, hsa-miR-122-5p, hsa-miR-451a, hsa-miR-1290, hsa-miR-1246, hsa-miR-107, hsa-miR-15b-5p, hsa-miR-194-5p, hsa-miR-22-5p, hsa-miR-20b-5p, hsa-miR-142-5p, hsa-miR-328-3p, hsa-miR-335-3p, hsa-miR-125a-5p, hsa-miR-423-3p, hsa-let-7d-3p, hsa-miR-128-3p, hsa-miR-10a-5p) were recognized that regulate RNA silencing processes. In this case, hsa-miR-423-3p and hsa-miR-128-3p showed outstanding diagnostic performances (AUROC > 0.900).Distinct EVs-miRNA profiles were identified in patients with varying liver fibrosis stages, both in the overall CHC cohort and within HCV+ and HCV+/HIV+ subgroups. …”

Experimental Investigation on the Influence of the Location of Sand Mining on the Local Scour Characteristics of Bridge Piers by WU Wei, CAI Huiyi, WANG Hao, FU Dabao, CHEN Zetong, YAO Jiateng

“…As the distance between the sand pit and the pier model is closer, the upstream deceleration of the pier is more obvious in the flow direction and the transverse velocity cloud. In the process of the downstream water flow away from the pier, the velocity increases more slowly, which indicates that the vortex structure is formed when the water flows through the sand pit, which reduces the flow velocity. …”
