A survey-based study of 246 village-level social welfare data operators found that business architecture, cross-organizational collaboration and technological readiness were positively and statistically significantly associated with perceived e-government integration impact in two Indonesian regencies. The research, focused on Gunung Kidul and Bangkalan, examined organizational, institutional, relational and technological capabilities associated with social welfare data integration. Governance and leadership and information policy did not show statistically significant direct relationships with perceived integration impact in the pooled sample.

The authors analyzed the survey with partial least squares structural equation modeling. In their framework, e-government integration impact, or EGII, represents perceived improvements in information, system and service quality, responsiveness and public trust. E-government integration scope, or EGIS, describes the breadth of integration across data, applications, electronic communication and knowledge-sharing processes.

EGII was strongly associated with EGIS, meaning that operators reporting more favorable perceived integration outcomes also tended to report broader integration. Because this was an observational analysis of survey responses, the results establish statistical relationships rather than causal effects. The findings identify three capabilities with significant direct relationships to EGII in the pooled model: business architecture, cross-organizational collaboration and technological readiness.

The evidence does not provide operational definitions for these constructs, but the results show that their measured levels were associated with respondents’ assessments of e-government integration outcomes. By contrast, governance and leadership and information policy had no statistically significant direct relationships with EGII in that analysis. This absence of a detected direct relationship does not establish that the two factors are unimportant or that they operate only through indirect pathways, because the supplied findings do not report such indirect effects.

A regency-based robustness analysis found that some relationships were sensitive to local implementation conditions. Significant differences between Gunung Kidul and Bangkan were reported for the technological-readiness-to-EGII relationship and the EGII-to-EGIS relationship. The geographic comparison therefore cautions against assuming that the same capability relationships apply uniformly across the two regencies, although it does not identify the specific local practices responsible for those differences.

Its direct contribution is to show which measured interoperability capabilities were associated with perceived integration impact in the surveyed population, alongside evidence that some relationships varied between the two regencies.

Women surveyed about their treatment for hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, reported delayed or missed diagnoses, inadequate clinician knowledge of treatment guidelines, denied or discontinued medicines, and structural barriers restricting access to appropriate care. The qualitative study of 189 women, published in the Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, found that these experiences accompanied enduring emotional and psychological effects, including anxiety and post-traumatic stress syndrome. Associate Professor Luke Grzeskowiak, who led the research team at Flinders University, said the condition affects almost 4% of pregnancies.

The survey identified several issues affecting how hyperemesis gravidarum is recognised and treated. Participants described clinicians who lacked suitable training to diagnose the condition and who were either unaware of clinical management guidelines or did not follow them. Some women said they were not diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum when they should have been, while others reported receiving a diagnosis only late in the course of their illness. Other participants said health professionals denied prescribing or dispensing medications. The researchers also identified educational and financial status as possible influences on treatment outcomes, together with systemic barriers within Australia’s healthcare system.

Misinformation about medicine safety further disrupted care for some participants. Some women said they stopped taking medication after reading reported safety concerns that the researchers said were not aligned with current research and management guidelines. Participants also described poor management of medication side effects, including constipation and mood disorders. Current treatment focuses on supportive care and on medicines, including antiemetics, that address nausea and vomiting. Nevertheless, women reported that their symptoms were often not taken seriously and that clinicians in several professions commonly lacked appropriate education and training to recognise and manage hyperemesis gravidarum.

The study documented emotional and psychological effects during and after the illness. Participants cited impaired quality of life, anxiety and post-traumatic stress syndrome. The researchers said some women reported that hyperemesis gravidarum influenced their decision to terminate an otherwise wanted pregnancy, while others said the trauma of a previous episode left them afraid to consider another pregnancy. Collectively, the researchers proposed improving experiences and outcomes through better education for health practitioners, greater public awareness, clearer clinical practice guidelines, expanded outpatient care, investment in specialist hyperemesis gravidarum clinics and services, changes to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, and strategies to improve medicine availability and affordability. Because the research was a qualitative survey based on reported experiences and perceptions, it does not quantify how frequently these barriers occur among all pregnancies affected by the condition.

**Riassunto** Un coroner britannico ha chiesto il blocco delle vendite di certe asciugatrici Hoover dopo un incendio mortale che ha ucciso un padre e la figlia di 9 anni. Più di 1,6 milioni di questi modelli sono nelle case UK e presentano difetti potenzialmente pericolosi. I dati ufficiali sull’Inghilterra (2010-2026) mostrano però che i fornelli e forni elettrici sono di gran lunga i più coinvolti negli incendi domestici (oltre 130.000 casi), seguiti da piani cottura, grill/tostapane e microonde. Insieme coprono circa l’80% degli incendi legati ad elettrodomestici. Le asciugatrici sono al quinto posto (circa 10.000 casi). La causa principale non è il difetto dell’apparecchio in sé, ma l’uso scorretto (filtri non puliti, prolunghe sovraccariche, apparecchi lasciati accesi). L’ente Electrical Safety First sottolinea che i numeri indicano solo “coinvolgimento”, non che certi elettrodomestici siano intrinsecamente pericolosi.

Un gruppo di archeologi guidato da Haichao Li dell'Università del Sichuan ha scoperto nella fossa rituale numero 7 del sito cinese di Sanxingdui una lama di ferro risalente a circa 3.000 anni fa. L'analisi spettrometrica ha rilevato una concentrazione di nickel pari al 7,41 percento, un valore che conferma l'origine meteoritica del metallo prima della diffusione della siderurgia nella regione. A differenza dei rari manufatti contemporanei della Pianura Centrale, realizzati incastonando piccole parti di ferro nel bronzo, il reperto lungo 20 centimetri è stato plasmato esclusivamente con materiale proveniente dallo spazio.

The Cambridge Analytica scandal has come back to haunt Meta after a New Mexico judge ordered it to pay $25 billion in penalties for more than 43 million violations of the state's unfair practices law. The ruling marks the biggest legal hit Meta has taken this year, even as it's faced several other losses or settlements.

A New Mexico jury ruled in September that Meta misled consumers over how it protected their data and prevented misinformation and hate speech on its platforms. The case stemmed from a 2021 complaint in the wake of the revelations a few years earlier that UK political consultancy Cambridge Analytica harvested data from millio …
