Product miniaturization is a trend for facilitating product usage, enabling product functions to be implemented in microscale geometries, and aimed at reducing product weight, volume, cost and pollution. Driven by ongoing miniaturization in diverse areas including medical devices, precision equipment, communication devices, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and microsystems technology (MST), the demands for micro metallic products have increased tremendously. Such a trend requires development of advanced micromanufacturing technology of metallic materials for producing high-quality micro metallic products that possess excellent dimensional tolerances, required mechanical properties and improved surface quality. Micromanufacturing differs from conventional manufacturing technology in terms of materials, processes, tools, and machines and equipment, due to the miniaturization nature of the whole micromanufacturing system, which challenges the rapid development of micromanufacturing technology. Against such a background, the Special Issue “Micromanufacturing of Metallic Materials” was proposed to present the recent developments of micromanufacturing technologies of metallic materials. The papers collected in the Special Issue include research articles, literature review and technical notes, which have been highlighted in this editorial.

BACKGROUND Medical informatics has become a discipline that attracted researchers worldwide. It’s necessary to understand the development of its research hotspots and the future research trend. OBJECTIVE This research aimed to explore the evolution of research topics in medical informatics by analyzing relevant research articles published from 1964 to 2020. METHODS We collected research articles from 27 representative medical informatics journals indexed by the Web of Science Core Collection. The research topics of medical informatics were extracted based on LDA model and the topic evolution patterns were analyzed based on similarities between research topics. RESULTS A total of 56466 publications were identified. We found that medical informatics was in a period of rapid development. Health data analysis and health behavior intervention were the research hotspots all the time. While in recent years, the application of emerging computer technologies and mobile health tools attracted more research interests. CONCLUSIONS Our study provided a comprehensive understanding of the research hotspots and the evolution pattern among them in medical informatics, which was helpful for researchers to grasp research trends and design their studies.

Bibliographies of references devoted to the geology of the Balkan Peninsula have periodically been annotated in Geologica Balcanica in earlier times, since many publications were either of a limited distribution or printed in native languages of the Balkan authors and, therefore, could not reach a wider international audience. At these times, the Editorial Board of Geologica Balcanica believed that “Bibliographia balcanica” would help readers of our journal stay informed about the news and achievements in the geology of the Balkan countries. Despite the rapid development of communication technologies over the last few decades, there are numerous works from Bulgaria that still remain poorly known both in our country and elsewhere. In this issue, we have compiled a reference list of Bulgarian doctoral dissertations in the field of geology defended in the last twenty years. As a rule, doctoral dissertations in Bulgaria remain unpublished and their authors often publish their results in research articles only partially. We are aware that the present bibliography may be incomplete and all works are written in Bulgarian; nevertheless, we believe that the references listed herein will be useful to our readers, since they would give them an idea about what contributions have been made during the last two decades.

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years has greatly improved humans’ quality of life and promoted Information Systems (IS) development progress. Business Intelligence (BI) system is one of the tools in the field of IS which obtained benefits from the development of AI. The adoption of BI can enhance the competitive aspect of a business organization in today’s highly competitive business environment and play an important role in determining a business organization’s success. However, literature shows that the adoption rate of the BI system is low and it is predicted that the adoption rate will not increase a lot in near future. Prior research studies paid less attention in a comprehensive study that review research articles related to BI system adoption in regard to discuss the issues and research gaps. There is an absence of a clear agenda or roadmap in the research area of BI adoption. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize and analyze research studies of BI adoption in the past two decades, identify the major theories that researchers have used to predict the adoption of BI, and summarize key antecedents that influence the adoption of BI. This study reviewed 44 research articles published on the adoption of BI between the year 2000 and the first quarter of 2020. The findings first indicate that the analysis of BI adoption literature is not comprehensive enough. Researchers in the past two decades commonly rely on TAM and its modifications to measure the adoption of BI. The finding also indicates that there are limited research studies on the negative stimulus of BI adoption. This study proposes the agenda for continued research in the area of BI adoption that targets identified gaps in the literature.

The present communication includes a list of 411 species of lichens under 147 genera reported or described from India after the publication of “Indian Lichens: An Annotated Checklist” by Singh and Sinha (2010). According to latest issue of Plant Discoveries 2016 (Singh and Dash, 2017) 2511 species of lichens are known from India. However, a thorough collation including less popular and online journals where taxonomic novelties in the form of new records are not mentioned, revealed significant increase during the past seven years. By addition of 411 species to the list of Singh and Sinha (2010), now the total number of lichens for India raises up to 2714 species. However, due to nomenclature changes and synonymy, revisions, etc. this data may change. Few species which were not included in Singh and Sinha (2010) are also included in this list. Species simply transferred to other genera without affecting the number tally are not listed here. Like-wise obligate lichenicolous and non-lichenized fungi are not included in the present list. The current list indicates that large number of taxa are reported from the family Graphidaceae (106 spp.) where genus Graphis alone counts 34 species. Large number of taxa are also reported from order Arthoniales (52 species) with Opegrapha representing 17 species. The species listed here follows the pattern of; species name (in bold), reference, and name of the state from where the species is reported. For the references cited in this paper readers may refer ‘Bibliography to the Indian lichens from the year 2010 onwards’ by Joseph et. al. (2018) published in the same issue of this journal.

Over the years, many techniques and products have been developed to reduce the amount of time spent in a darkroom processing electron microscopy negatives and micrographs. One of the latest tools, effective in this effort, is the Mohr/Pro-8 film and rc paper processor.At the time of writing, a unit has been recently installed in the photographic facilities of the Electron Microscopy Center at Texas A&M University. It is being evaluated for use with TEM sheet film, SEM sheet film, 35mm roll film (B&W), and rc paper.Originally designed for use in the phototypesetting industry, this processor has only recently been introduced to the field of electron microscopy.The unit is a tabletop model, approximately 1.5 × 1.5 × 2.0 ft, and uses a roller transport method of processing. It has an adjustable processing time of 2 to 6.5 minutes, dry-to-dry. The installed unit has an extended processing switch, enabling processing times of 8 to 14 minutes to be selected.

Endothelial dysfunction in the setting of cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and chronic smoking, as well as in the setting of heart failure, has been shown to be at least partly dependent on the production of reactive oxygen species in endothelial and/or smooth muscle cells and the adventitia, and the subsequent decrease in vascular bioavailability of NO. Superoxide-producing enzymes involved in increased oxidative stress within vascular tissue include NAD(P)H-oxidase, xanthine oxidase and endothelial nitric oxide synthase in an uncoupled state. Recent studies indicate that endothelial dysfunction of peripheral and coronary resistance and conductance vessels represents a strong and independent risk factor for future cardiovascular events. Ways to reduce endothelial dysfunction include risk-factor modification and treatment with substances that have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and, simultaneously, to stimulate endothelial NO production, such as inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme or the statins. In contrast, in conditions where increased production of reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide, in vascular tissue is established, treatment with NO, e.g. via administration of nitroglycerin, results in a rapid development of endothelial dysfunction, which may worsen the prognosis in patients with established coronary artery disease.

The authors in this article first identify the extent to which research articles published in three American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) journals included participants, age birth to 18 years, from international backgrounds (i.e., residence outside of the United States), and go on to describe associated publication patterns over the past 12 years. These patterns then provide a context for examining variation in the conceptualization of ethnicity on an international scale. Further, the authors examine terminology and categories used by 11 countries where research participants resided. Each country uses a unique classification system. Thus, it can be expected that descriptions of the ethnic characteristics of international participants involved in research published in ASHA journal articles will widely vary.
