A recent study has suggested that guanylate kinase 1 (GK1) plays a crucial role in SARS CoV-2 replication and recommended to test GK 1 inhibitors for invitro experiments and previous studies have suggested a role in the pathogenesis of some neoplasms. We are providing a concise strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of this study while discussing guanylate kinase physiological function, pharmacological importance. Importantly, we suggest that though this hypothesis might prove valid, the available experimental GK 1 inhibitors might not, at least for the short term, be safely used to manage COVID-19. Moreover, we recommend conducting genetic, physiological, and immunological studies to explore the long-term potentials of GK-1 inhibitors suggesting they might eventually lead to a new horizon of both COVID-19 and cancer pharmacotherapeutics.

We are providing a concise strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of this hypothesis while discussing guanylate kinase physiological function, pharmacological importance. Importantly, we suggest assessing another potential interaction between SARS CoV-2 and the non-authentic membrane-associated guanylate kinases as we suggest this might add to consider the potential role of amantadine in COVID-19 management. Moreover, though GK1 role in SARS CoV-2 replication might prove valid, the available experimental inhibitors of GK 1 might not, at least for the short term, be safely used to manage COVID-19. Finally, we recommend conducting genetic, physiological, and immunological studies to explore the long-term potentials of GK-1 inhibitors suggesting they might eventually lead to a novel COVID-19 and cancer pharmacotherapeutics.

A recent interesting study has suggested that guanylate kinase 1 (GK1) plays a crucial role in SARS CoV-2 replication and recommended to test GK 1 inhibitors for invitro experiments. We are providing a concise strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis while discussing guanylate kinase physiological function, pharmacological importance. Importantly, we argue that though this hypothesis might prove valid, GK 1 inhibitors are very unlikely, at least for the short term, to be beneficial in clinical management of COVID-19. However, we recommend conducting focused genetic studies to test their suggested hypothesis as it might add to our knowledge of some COVID-19 encountered idiosyncratic morbidity and mortality outcomes.

However, we suggest assessing another potential interaction between SARS CoV-2 and the non-authentic membrane-associated guanylate kinases as we suggest this might add to consider the potential role of the NMDA antagonists amantadine and memantine in COVID-19 management for and we have recommended clinical trials for selected described COVID-19 patients. Finally, we also recommend conducting genetic, physiological, and immunological studies to explore the long-term potentials of novel GK-1 inhibitors suggesting they might eventually lead to a novel COVID-19 and cancer pharmacotherapeutics.

Pharmaceuticals agglomerations consistently use their brand image and versatile product portfolios to consolidate their position in the financial sector, which is evident in their continuous profit making and expansion in market share. This paper explores the short-term and long-term investment attractiveness through ‘consumer centric decision’ approach in two selected pharmaceutical companies, Renata Limited and Orion Pharma Limited, of Bangladesh over the last three years’ period. This research adopts a systematic approach which primarily addresses the various concerns of investors to illustrate the decision-making process of the existing and future investors. Using primarily domestic transaction data, this study explores how the leading pharmaceuticals companies of Bangladesh effectively use the wide array of drug portfolios mix with appropriate branding techniques to increase their financial profit and market share simultaneously. Both SWOT analysis and Porters Five Forces Model explore the business analysis of Renata Limited in compare to Orion Pharma Limited that provides a conclusion regarding investors’ decision to invest in Renata Limited. Considering the financial analysis, Renata’s financial liquidity is not very satisfactory and could have been improved further if management is prudent on financial strategy settings. Findings of the business analysis indicate that Renata Limited would be a good investment choice for existing and prospective shareholders based on its opportunities for long term and short term growth and further expansion in developing the market. The results suggest that even lower liquidity coupled with higher interest borrowings can be balanced by posing positive picture to the public shareholders by returning the positive dividend to them.

Economic growth and public welfare are the reason of regional autonomy regulation policy (UU No 22 year 1999). The policy allows regional economic resources managed by regional government to achieve its goal. One of the regional government strategies is investment strategy, which in this case investing in banking industry. The purposes of the study are 1) to identify the investment regulation on regional government 2) to identify the Bank BJB business and investment environment 3) to identify the comparison of investment feasibility on Bank BJB versus other banks 4) to identify the position of Stock Share A series owned by XYZ at Bank BJB. The data collection methods are using structured interview, in depth interview, field survey and literature study. The analysis tools are using institutional analysis, SWOT analysis and financial analysis. Institutional analysis showed XYZ regional government investment management is limited to regulation as follow 1) long term capital (stock share) investment limited only at BUMD (e.g. Bank BJB) 2) short term investment e.g. saving and deposit is limited only at healthy and feasible bank, and government bond which has small risk exposure. The financial analysis also showed the increasing performance of BJB Earning per Share (EPS) and Return on Equity (ROE) from 2006 until 2010. The SWOT analysis support other analysis that BJB Bank position in financial industry is suitable for long term and short term investment for XYZ regional government. Base on explanation above, the conclusions are the autonomy regulation limited XYZ regional government to invest as shareholders in A series (stock share) or B series (stock share) at BJB Bank only, and for short term investment is limited only at healthy and feasible bank, and government bond which has small risk exposure.

Parental stress in the NICU has at least a short-term impact on the establishment of the parent-child relationship and potential repercussions on long-term child development outcomes. One way to help parents mitigate stress is to help them learn what they need to know about their infant’s condition and care. In this article, we examine how learning to read the infant’s physiologic and behavioral cues helps parents cope with stress. We view parental learning as a process in which parents target specific domains of information for learning according to the temporal relevance of the domain to their concerns. It is important that we recognize the fluidity of the process and anticipate what parents need to learn at different times during hospitalization. The NICU staff assumes a crucial role in reducing parental stress by delivering information that is relevant to the parents’ needs and by helping parents understand this information.

Economic environment has changed significantly in recent days due to the COVID19 and measures the governments apply to combat it will inevitably cause the substantial shrinkage of economies due to reduced economic activities on the national as well as global levels. As a result, financial markets have been under great stress because there is no prediction on the size, scope, and duration of this situation. Simultaneously this causes a great uncertainty. It is obvious that financial markets play crucial role in the general good standing of economies because they are serving as a channel through which funds are transferred to and between entities on the market. Financial and monetary systems are a part of the economic system whereby for the latter it is important the former to be as stable as possible. In order this to be achieved or at least risks caused by uncertainty to be reduced both in short-term as well as long-term perspectives a wide scope of traditional as well as modern the financial market regulations have been applied and here we are going to present at least some of them.
