TL;DR: It is anticipated that incidence rates of breast cancer in developing countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region will continue to increase, and the challenge is to customise breast cancer control initiatives to the particular needs of each country to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Abstract: Objective: To provide an overview of the incidence and mortality of female breast cancer for countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Methods: Statistical information about breast cancer was obtained from publicly available cancer registry and mortality databases (such as GLOBOCAN), and supplemented with data requested from individual cancer registries. Rates were directly age-standardised to the Segi World Standard population and trends were analysed using joinpoint models. Results: Breast cancer was the most common type of cancer among females in the region, accounting for 18% of all cases in 2012, and was the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths (9%). Although incidence rates remain much higher in New Zealand and Australia, rapid rises in recent years were observed in several Asian countries. Large increases in breast cancer mortality rates also occurred in many areas, particularly Malaysia and Thailand, in contrast to stabilising trends in Hong Kong and Singapore, while decreases have been recorded in Australia and New Zealand. Mortality trends tended to be more favourable for women aged under 50 compared to those who were 50 years or older. Conclusion: It is anticipated that incidence rates of breast cancer in developing countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region will continue to increase. Early detection and access to optimal treatment are the keys to reducing breast cancerrelated mortality, but cultural and economic obstacles persist. Consequently, the challenge is to customise breast cancer control initiatives to the particular needs of each country to ensure the best possible outcomes.

TL;DR: The FAST score provides an efficient way to non-invasively identify patients at risk of progressive NASH for clinical trials or treatments when they become available, and thereby reduce unnecessary liver biopsy in patients unlikely to have significant disease.

TL;DR: The scope and definition of heritage as promulgated by the various charters across the globe was discussed in this paper. But the scope of heritage was broadened to include gardens, landscape and environment, and later reinterpreted and defined quite differently in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and China.
Abstract: Since the adoption of the Venice Charter in 1964, there have been many conservation guidelines in the form of charters, recommendations and resolutions that have been introduced and adopted by international organisations such as UNESCO and ICOMOS. This article focuses on the scope and definition of heritage as promulgated by the various charters across the globe. The term ‘historic monument’ used in the Venice Charter 1964 was reinterpreted by ICOMOS in 1965 as ‘monument’ and ‘site’; and by UNESCO in 1968 as ‘cultural property’ to include both movable and immovable. The different terminology between the UNESCO and ICOMOS was reconciled at the World Heritage Convention 1972. At national and regional levels the scope of heritage was broadened to include gardens, landscape and environment, and later reinterpreted and defined quite differently in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and China. Although the scope of heritage, in general, is now agreed internationally to include ‘tangible’ and ‘intangible’ as...

TL;DR: A review on the recent developments of bio-hydrogen production is presented in this article, where the theoretical principles of biophotolysis by cyanobacteria and green micro algae, as well as direct and indirect of BPHO on hydrogen production are described.
Abstract: Production of biohydrogen has the potential to be a renewable alternative to current technologies. There are varieties of technologies for biological hydrogen production mechanisms including biophotolysis, photo fermentation, dark fermentation and hybrid biohydrogen production by electrochemical processes. In these studies, a review on the recent developments of biohydrogen production is presented. First, the theoretical principles of biophotolysis by cyanobacteria and green micro algae, as well as direct and indirect of biophotolysis process on hydrogen production are described. Secondly, practical aspects and fundamental of biological hydrogen production processes by photo and dark fermentation are reviewed. This work also involved comparison of the maximum H2 yield, bacterial strains, operating condition, suitable substrates, and mathematical models for fermentative hydrogen production. A new hybrid biological hydrogen production processes by using the electrochemical process is then proposed. This study can also be used to improve the basic and current knowledge about the performance of the biophotolysis, fermentative and electrochemical process in producing hydrogen gas as the alternate fuel.

TL;DR: A model that shows senior managers' perception of both the antecedents to and the consequences of Green IS adoption by a firm suggests that coercive pressure influences the attitude toward GreenIS adoption while mimetic pressure does not.
