Effects of radiation in biological systems are quite interesting. Interaction of radiation to epigenetic mechanisms has been also demonstrated earlier. The aim of this review is to sketch a current scenario on radiation exposure/insults on the epigenetic mechanisms in mammalian cells. Evidence from the databases, mainly from Pubmed and Science Direct were considered. Findings suggest that radiation has a dose and time-dependent effect in our body. Cells and tissues from different sources have differential responses towards radiation insults. Although radiation has impacts on epigenetic modulation, but it has beneficial combinatorial effects with a number of epigenetic modalities. Radiation has both bad and good impacts on epigenetic mechanisms.

Ascorbic acid is a known strong antioxidant and is evident to exert a pro-oxidative effect of high concentration/dose. Therefore, it can be used not only as a protective agent, but also as an adjuvant or direct cytotoxic agent. Resistance of cancer cells is a regular matter, stimulating scientist to search fighting tools against it. Evidences suggest that the use of ascorbic acid in cancer resistance is still controversial. This paper sketches a current scenario of ascorbic acid in cancer resistance, especially resistance occurring from chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Although, hopes are alive with the use of this vitamin in this case, but more research is needed to understand the fact clearly.

The sixth issue of JISIB marks the journal’s second anniversary. Again we are delighted to welcome contributions by academics from so many different countries, with so many different backgrounds. The academic contributions of our female authors continue to show also in this issue. If this issue should have one common theme it would be related to Brazil. It is not a special issue on Brazil, but we saw the possibility to include three articles which relates to the experience of competitive intelligence in this country. However, the first article by Sheila Wright, Christophe Bisson, and Alistair Duffy entitled “Competitive Intelligence and Information Technology Adoption of SMEs in Turkey: Diagnosing Current Performance and Identifying Barriers“ is on another topic and deals with SMEs need to improve intelligence-based output to decision-makers. Based on empirical findings the aim has been to identify and classify CI behaviour and attitudes of SMEs in Turkey.The second article by A.S.A. du Toit is entitled “Comparative Study of Competitive Intelligence Practices between Two Retail Banks in Brazil and South Africa” , where it is concluded that respondents in the bank in Brazil cope better with changes in the external environment.The next article by Zhanna Abzaltynova and Janice Williams entitled “Developments in Business Intelligence Software” is an evaluation of BI vendors and software with extensive rankings.The article by Francisco Carlos Paletta entitled “Brazil - Evolutions in CI and some aspects of a current scenario”, is a summary of research done on the introduction of competitive intelligence in Brazil. The article also gives a brief idea about its current status.In the opinion section we have included an article by Francisco Carlos Paletta and Nilson Dias Vieira Junior entitled “ICT Lifecycle and its Major Role in The Development of Strategic Intelligence”. It is an evaluation of the existing ICT framework for competitive intelligence in Brazil.As always we would first of all like to thank the authors for their contributions to this issue of JISIB.
