<pre><em>The industrial sector is a primary sector has the potential to create a progressive growth in a region. The growth in the region rely on the industrial sector was driven by sales of production, employment, and other multiplier effects so </em><em>that </em><em>many </em><em>of </em><em>districts or cities in North Sumatra </em><em>try</em><em> to develop this sector. The industr</em><em>y </em><em>that can be developed </em><em>is</em><em> an appropriate industrial potential and local resource to be optimal growth in the region. In RTRW Kota Binjai years 2011 - 2030, District of North Binjai designated as an industrial area. Industries that are planned to be developed are a high-tech industry. But the problem is whether the type specified in the RTRW industry is the industry that corresponds to the potential of local resources and the District of North Binjai? The purpose of this paper is to find the right industry to be developed by local potential or excellence, especially in the District Binjai Utara Binjai. The analytical tool used is the analysis of LQ, shift share and SWOT discovered the potential and advantages that can be seen Binjai compliance with industry directed by RTRW. The analysis </em><em>results </em><em>show that the industrial sector is not a primary</em><em> </em><em>sector or potential sector in Binjai. The results of LQ and shift share analysis show that the sector with the potential to be developed in Binjai was the construction sector, finance, and services. The similarity with the RTRW policy is only in the service sector. This shows that the service sector can be developed while the computer industry, multimedia, publishing, and printing) is not in accordance with the local potential. However, if the government still wants to develop the industrial sector in North Binjai, there should be diversification strategies, namely building-related industry sectors, such as industry superior building materials and mining industries.</em><em></em></pre>

A woman was enraged (recently) because her health insurance company, after paying for two unsuccessful attempts at in vitro fertilization, had refused to reimburse her for further infertility treatments. "They're depriving me of my right to become a mother," she said, "and I'm going to sue them." But where is it written that our society owes everyone the "right" to become a parent, regardless of the financial or ethical cost?... Almost no one has questioned the notion of parenthood as a right and infertility as a disaster that must be fought with all the high-tech tools of modern medicine . . . but when infertility is viewed simply as one misfortune on a scale of sorrows—less horrible, say, than mind destroying diseases or mass starvation—the ethical balance looks quite different.

In the absence of the development of exports of high-tech industries, the implementation of strategic tasks for the accelerated growth of the economy set by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation until 2024” of May 7, 2018 No. 240 is unlikely. According to most researchers, the main potentially possible commodity items in non-raw materials exports, which are in demand in the world markets, are the products of engineering, pharmaceutical industry, apparatus and devices used in medicine. Therefore, the right to participate in foreign economic activity is delegated, first of all, to large domestic companies. However, today Russia is a country with a large assortment of production of simple products, which requires building a systematic approach in the formation of both economic policy in general and export in particular in the direction of developing of non-resource industries that produce high-tech products. The analysis of the strategies for retaining the leading positions in narrow niche segments in the global market, analysis of the competitive and diversifying strategy of the German company Poly-clip System, which is the world’s leading producer of clipping systems and the world leader in the food packaging segment was performed.

Recent multicenter studies using high-tech cardiac imaging and novel translational technologies have shown that cardiac fibrofatty replacement, characteristic of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), is observed in both ventricles; left ventricular (LV) involvement may be minimal, on par with the right ventricle (RV), or dominant. In 2019, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) proposed a new approach to the assessment of arrhythmic and genetic diseases with the inclusion of new phenotypes — left-dominant ACM and biventricular ACM. In 2020, to improve the diagnosis of left ventricular phenotypes, European experts revised ACM criteria (based on the 2010 ITF criteria), which are called the Padua criteria.The presented article highlights the clinical and genetic aspects of the new concept and the difficulties in ACM diagnosis, the practical experience of using new diagnostic algorithm. To help practitioners, step-by-step differential diagnosis and risk stratification of right and left ventricular phenotypes are presented using clinical examples (leftdominant ACM with a pathogenic variant in the LMNA gene; right-dominant ACM associated with a desmoplakin gene mutation, with predominant RV and moderate LV involvement; and an isolated RV ACM associated with a mutation in the plakophilin 2 gene).

OBJECTIVES: to evaluate attitudes in childcare and primary care in pediatrics, as well as aspects of training and medical education for residents in pediatrics consistent with the current medical paradigm. METHODS: the subjects were 133 residents of six pediatrics residency services in the city of Porto Alegre, RS. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was performed consisting of a questionnaire and an attitude measurement scale (Likert scale). Thirty propositions related to the issues of child care and primary care in pediatrics were simultaneously submitted to small groups of residents at their residency settings. RESULTS: women outnumbered men in a ratio of three to one in the residency programs. The majority aimed at a specialty in pediatrics, principally the ones involving high-tech procedures. Choices were influenced by prior training and by professors or tutors, although they stated they would like to work in prevention in the future. As for the scale, 87% had the right attitudes, both positive and negative, according to the Golden standard applied. CONCLUSIONS: the result obtained in this study related to attitude was very satisfactory but future professional choices are a concern to the medical educational system. The authors suggest that studies on attitude be further developed and improved to become a source of input for new strategies in the area of pediatrics education.

The aim of this study is to explain the board interlock association on high-tech firm performance in three growth ASEAN countries. The research samples were 109 high-tech listed manufacturing firms, consisting of 38 Indonesian firms, 37 Malaysian firms, and 34 Thai firms in the 2015-2018 period. The study used panel regression analysis. The research found that corporate governance through interlock directorates is a determinant of high-tech firm performance. The low human capital with high-tech capabilities in ASEAN countries can be overcome by interlocking and facilitating companies to access strategic information. This study also found a positive association between director woman interlock and corporate performance. On the other hand, an independent director who does interlocking actually has a negative effect on company performance. This research is the first research on board interlock in high-tech firms in ASEAN growth countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. There is still limited research involving more than one country, especially developing countries, in studying the interlock board relationship on the company performance. The highlight of this study is to compare the effects of the three interlocks, interlocking directorate, woman interlock, and independent interlock, and their associations on the profitability of high-tech firms. Investors can have an in-depth understanding of the role of the type of interlock that affects the profitability and make the right decision in investing.

This article examines issues related to the protection of human rights in the context of the fight against the use of gene doping. The fact of using gene therapy in relation to a person already includes a significant range of potential ethical problems, including probable health risks, the degree of awareness of the patient’s consent to perform certain manipulations, as well as the long-term consequences for a person’s life, and, which is equally important, for future generations. At the same time, the problems of the use of gene doping in relation to athletes significantly aggravates and complicates the process of building regulatory approaches. The article notes the particular susceptibility of the athlete's right to health care in the context of the problem of gene doping. The paper studies the features of the implementation and protection of the human right to protect health and the right to privacy, including legislation aspect of biomedicine and bioethics, as well as taking into account the difficulties associated with the identification of the use of gene doping. Conclusions regarding possible areas for improving legal regulation in this area, among which, strengthening or detailing the legal regulation of the provision of high-tech medical care, properly informing athletes, coaches and other sports professionals about the possible risks of applying genetic engineering methods to humans, proper regulation of testing procedures, toughening criminal liability and expansion of the subject matter of such crimes are formulated.

SMEs operating in high-tech sectors are typically reliant on specialist knowledge to help them build the right product with the objective of meeting customer needs. The nature of niche software markets means that products must be closely informed by customer requirements for the software product to be a success. The importance of understanding how smaller organisations manage knowledge has become vital to their success; however, there remains a dearth of empirical research in SMEs in the area of IS research. Using a qualitative analysis approach in five Irish software SMEs, this chapter identifies how this type of organisation leverages their customers as external knowledge resources, with particular emphasis on knowledge acquisition, a Knowledge Activity (KA) in which customers play a significant part. Through the establishment of KAs a firm can develop an approach to Customer Knowledge Management (CKM) to build value-creating relationships with a reliable customer base.
