Contrast- induced nephropathy (CIN) is an elevation of serum creatinine of ≥ 0.5 mg/dL from baseline after two to three days of exposure to contrast substance if there is no other cause for acute kidney injury. Atorvastatin may protect normal kidney physiology from contrast- induced kidney injury by effects unrelated to hypolipidemia termed pleiotropic effect by decline of endothelin production, angiotensin system down regulation, and under expression of endothelial adhesion molecules. This study was conducted to assess the strategy by which atorvastatin can achieve protective effect for kidneys after exposure to contrast media in an animal model. A 40 male rats were distributed randomly into 4 groups; ten rats for each: group (1): given normal saline; group (2): CIN group given iopromide as contrast media; group (3): given atorvastatin (20mg/kg) and iopromide; and group (4): given atorvastatin (40mg/kg) and iopromide. Blood collected by cardiac puncture for detection of serum glutathione, malondialdehyde, matrix metalloproteinase-9, and interleukin-18. The results have shown a significant increase in inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in contrast media group, and significant reduction in these markers in atorvastatin treated groups, in a dose-dependent manner. As conclusion, atorvastatin mechanism for protection against CIN in a dose-dependent manner can mediate by anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Seit längerem schon forderte die Bauer Media Group Reformen im deutschen Pressevertriebssystem. Durch die jüngsten Urteile des Bundesgerichtshofs (BGH) und des Landgerichts (LG) Köln sieht der Konzern seine Anliegen gut durchgesetzt. Während für den Grosso- Verband und für die beiden Verlegerverbände aus diesen Urteilen erhebliche Gefahren für Kernelemente des deutschen Pressevertriebssystems und für die durch dieses System geförderte Pressevielfalt in Deutschland erwachsen, bestreitet der Bauer-Konzern jegliche negative Systemfolgen. Aktuell wird darüber debattiert, welcher dieser Bewertungen zuzustimmen ist. Im ersten der drei folgenden Standpunkt-Kommentare verteidigt zunächst Bauer-Vertriebschef Heribert Bertram die etwas einsame Position des Bauer-Konzerns. Durch die Urteile seien keine „Essentials“ des deutschen Presse- Grosso-Systems gefährdet, erläutert Bertram, auch nicht das Prinzip der Netzneutralität im Presse-Bereich. In einer prägnanten wettbewerbsökonomischen Analyse der Urteile kommt der Kölner Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Dr. Frank Christian May allerdings zu ganz anderen Ergebnissen. Sein Fazit: Wer volkswirtschaftliche Kosteneffizienz und eine vielfaltsförderliche Netzneutralität im Printbereich weiterhin gleichzeitig verwirklichen wolle, müsse das tradierte System als eine „adäquate institutionelle Antwort auf die komplizierten Koordinationsprobleme“ anerkennen und notfalls auch noch klarer gesetzlich verankern. Nach Ansicht des Hamburger Medienrechtlers Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Karl-Heinz Ladeur wäre dies eigentlich gar nicht notwendig. Vielmehr, so seine Analyse, hätten die Gerichte das medienwirtschaftliche „Regime“ des deutschen Presse-Grossos ohnehin vor den Attacken Bauers schützen müssen. Einen (medien-)kartellrechtlichen Missbrauch sieht er weniger beim Bundesverband Presse-Grosso als vielmehr bei der Bauer Media Group selbst.

Stellaria ruderalis is an annual (semi)ruderal species from the S. media group, which has been recently published by Lepší et al., therefore, its distribution range in Europe is insufficiently known. This paper is based on field exploration of 39 localities of S. media s.l. in the Lviv region, Western Ukraine. The first report of S. ruderalis in Ukraine comes from Dmytre village, where it grows at roadsides and arable field edges in a semiruderal habitat of the alliance Aegopodion podagrariae. As only a single population was found, Stellaria ruderalis is obviously still spreading in Western Ukraine, a fact which was reported already for northern Central Europe. This record represents the northeasternmost locality of the species so far known.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan rata-rata hasil belajar siswa antara pembelajaran daring menggunakan media group WhatsApp dengan media group WhatsApp yang diberikan intervensi video pembelajaran. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VIII (8C, 8D, 8E, dan 8F) SMP N 1 Air Naningan, dengan teknik purposive sampling sehingga terpilih 30 siswa sebagai sampel penelitian. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan adalah tes soal materi persamaan garis lurus yang berjumlah 5 soal. Data sampel diolah dengan uji t-berpasangan (Paired Samples Test) yang dilakukan pada kedua kelompok. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rata-rata hasil belajar siswa yang menggunakan media group WhatsApp dengan rata-rata hasil belajar siswa  menggunakan media group WhatsApp yang diberikan intervensi video pembelajaran. Hasil lain menunjukan pembelajaran daring dengan menggunakan media group WhatsApp dengan intervensi video pembelajaran lebih baik dan efektif digunakan untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar pada siswa kelas VIII SMP N 1 Air Naningan di masa Pandemi Covid-19. Kata Kunci : Pembelajaran daring, Group WhatsApp, Video Pembelajaran,                     Hasil belajar siswa.

Applying Porter's methodology of the well-known five competitive forces to analyze the nature of competition, this article seeks to demonstrate that the competitive advantages obtained by the companies are a function of the structure of the industry and the strategies developed by the intervening companies. To this end, we analyze the Peruvian print journalism sector, that of non-specialized newspapers, exponents of a formal style of presentation of information and aimed at traditional readers, a segment made up of: El Comercio, Expreso, La Republica and La Nación. The results show that, of the five competitive forces, the most relevant for the segment studied are the high barriers to entry, mainly due to the high levels of investment and know-how required; the permanent possibility of substitution by television and radio; and the bargaining power of clients, exercised by distribution agents and advertisers. It can be said that there are two aspects on which the newspapers analyzed have developed their competitive advantages: the barriers created and the positioning achieved.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), in common with other competition authorities, strongly favours structural remedies (i.e. business or asset disposals) as the most effective means to restore competition eliminated by a merger. Behavioural remedies (i.e., measures that seek to regulate the ongoing behaviour of the merger parties) are not generally favoured by the CMA. In considering the effectiveness of proposed remedies, the recent judgment in Ecolab v. CMA demonstrates that the CMA is afforded a wide margin of appreciation. That same margin of discretion was notably exercised by the CMA in the Bauer Media Group Inquiry where, contrary to conventional practice, it accepted a complex behavioural remedy in preference to structural alternatives. This article explores these two cases in greater detail and identifies some key factors that inform the CMA's conduct in relation to merger remedies.
