Summary: SLL-039 and SLL-1206 are potent and long-lasting analgesic agents with antipruritic effects, showing potential as novel analgesics with fewer side effects. They activate K opioid receptors and do not cause sedation or conditioned place aversion, suggesting their promise as effective pain relief options.

Summary: This study investigates the interplay effects of temporal distance and post type on tourists' attitude strength changes and decision-making processes. The findings reveal that the effect of DGC on tourists' attitude changes is contextual, and DGC is less influential on tourists' decision-making processes when they have a near travel plan than a distant one. This study emphasizes that DMOs should invest in DGC only in specific contexts.

Summary: Decorating small copper nanoparticles with oxophilic rhenium has been validated as an efficient method to prepare a low-copper catalyst for the direct synthesis of ethanol. The impact of different supports on the catalytic performance of ReCu catalysts was investigated, and the results showed that Re2Cu5/ZrO2 catalyst exhibited the highest activity and ethanol yield.

Summary: This study investigated the characteristics and factors associated with a large left atrial appendage (LAA) ostium in Japanese patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The study found that NVAF patients with a large LAA ostium may have a higher risk of stroke and bleeding, and long-standing persistent AF and factors leading to left atrial overload may be closely associated with LAA ostial dilatation.

Summary: This study aims to identify the positive and negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the functional relationships between members of regional tourism organizations in Poland. The study consisted of desk research, a diagnostic survey, as well as qualitative and statistical analyses. Data from all 16 Polish regional tourism organizations were collected and results showed that there were no significant negative impacts on the functional relationships between the organizations and their stakeholders, except for an increase in limitations on activities benefiting their members. The study also proposed a research tool for evaluating relationships with the environment in other tourism destination management organizations at various levels, which contributes to the effectiveness of organizations in crisis situations.

Summary: This study explores visual social media communication and characteristics of smart tourism destination communication on Instagram from the perspectives of destination marketing/management organizations (DMOs) and user-generated content (UGC). The findings show that smart elements are less emphasized in the communication than expected, and there are discrepancies between DMOs and UGCs in terms of content focus.

Summary: This paper discusses the hidden node scenario when T-Mobile LAA coexists with Wi-Fi APs deployed at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) university campus. It is found that LAA's continuous transmission, due to unawareness of Wi-Fi AP's transmission power, significantly impacts Wi-Fi performance.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the optimal transseptal puncture (TSP) site for percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure in different LAA morphologies. The results showed that an inferoposterior TSP is recommended in the majority of cases to obtain coaxial alignment between the delivery sheath and the LAA. However, in cases of a reverse chicken wing LAA or posterior bending of the proximal LAA, an inferior but more central/anterior TSP should be recommended.

Summary: The Third Family Hypercharge (Y-3) Model modifies the predictions of the Standard Model and explains anomalies through the introduction of a heavy Z' gauge boson. However, the recent experimental results show significant discrepancies with the predictions of this model, indicating the need for further modifications.

Summary: We perform a model-independent global fit to b -> sll (l = e, mu) data, assuming complex new physics couplings. We find that the favored scenarios are the same as in the real fit and that the magnitude of complex couplings can be as large as real couplings. We also identify observables that can serve as unique identifiers for different new physics solutions.

Summary: Regulating mesopore structures is crucial for enhancing diffusion and achieving improved activity and selectivity. Mesoporous silica with distinct structured mesopores is used as a support for Ag catalysts in the selective hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) into methyl glycolate (MG), leading to enhanced hydrogenation activity.

Summary: This paper proposes a Downlink Only Frame Structure (DOFS) approach for utilizing overlapped LTE bands, which is evaluated for feasibility by considering practical implementation parameters and using a popular commercial simulation tool at an interfered spot. The results indicate that the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SINR) is good enough for 64QAM modulation in most parts of the evaluated zone.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the changes in the operation of destination management organizations (DMOs) in Poland during the pandemic and their usage of organizational support tools. The results show that DMOs had insufficient access to support tools and had little utilization of the tools offered by anti-crisis programs. It suggests the need for modifications and expansions in the assistance programs.

Summary: In patients at high risk for bleeding and contraindicated to anticoagulation, major bleeding events following left atrial appendage occlusion were not uncommon and associated with a significant increase in mortality, without increasing the risk of stroke.
