THE DARK SIDE OF BANK

Commercial banks increasingly use short-term wholesale funds to supplement traditional retail deposits. Existing literature mainly points to the "bright side" of wholesale funding: sophisticated nanciers can monitor banks, disciplining bad ones but re nancing solvent ones. This paper models a "dark side" of wholesale funding. In an environment with a costless but imperfect signal on bank project quality (e.g., credit ratings, performance of peers), short-term wholesale nanciers have lower incentives to conduct costly information acquisition, and instead may withdraw based on negative but noisy public signals, triggering ine¢ cient liquidations. We show that the "dark side" of wholesale funding dominates the "bright side" when bank assets are more arms length and tradable (leading to more relevant public signals and lower liquidation costs): precisely the attributes of a banking sector with securitizations and risk transfers. The results shed light on the recent nancial turmoil, explaining why some wholesale nanciers did not provide market discipline ex-ante and exacerbated liquidity risks ex-post.

INFLATION – THE HARROD-BALASSA-SAMUELSON EFFECT IN A DSGE MODEL SETTING

This paper sets up a two-country two-sector dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model that introduces sector specific productivity shocks with quality improvement mechanism of goods. It provides a model-based theoretical background for the Harrod-Balassa-Samuelson phenomenon that describes the relationship between productivity and price inflation within different sectors in a particular economy. Both, the calibrated and the estimated model are able to show that the Harrod-Balassa-Samuelson effect is confirmed by inducing tradable sector productivity shocks as they drive the nontradable sector price inflation higher than the tradable sector price inflation. By doing this, we overcome the problem that the tradable productivity increase in a typical open economy specification reduces the relative price of domestic tradable goods relative to the foreign ones.
SEED GERMINATION AND SEEDLING FORMATION OF Eugenia stictopetala (MYRTACEAE) UNDER DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

The species Eugenia stictopetala, known as “cambucá” or dog-tongue, is found in areas of Cerrado and produces fruits in the form of drupe, black when mature and much consumed by the fauna. Despite its potential for use, there is no information about its germination processes and for this reason, the objective of this work was to evaluate its germination and seedling formation at different temperatures, besides its germination after initial storage. Newly collected seeds from the Cerrado area were evaluated at six temperatures (20, 25, 30, 35, 20-30 and 25-35 °C) and after 35 days of storage in different environmental conditions in a completely randomized design. The results indicated that the seeds have a high water content and the temperature of 30 °C being the most suitable for germination and seedling formation. After storage, loss of water content occurs, leading to a reduction in germination rates, indicating a characteristic of recalcitrant seeds.

Swallowing problems (dysphagia) can occur at any point in the process of moving food, liquid, or saliva from the mouth through the throat (pharynx), into the esophagus and to the stomach. These problems may result in poor nutrition, dehydration or aspiration (accidental ingestion of food particles or fluids into the lungs). Dysphagia reduces quality of life. Swallowing disorders are often accompanied by voice impairment (dysphonia) as well. The central goal of the Clinic is to provide comprehensive evaluation and management of dysphagia and related disorders and improve quality of life. Hence based on above findings the present study was planned for Study of Endoscopic Diagnosis Outcomes in Patients Suffered from Dysphagia. The present study was planned in Department of General surgery, Government Doon Medical College, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. The study was conducted from January 2017 to October 2017. In the Present study 50 cases diagnosed with the dysphagia were enrolled and evaluated. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy taken during endoscopy and sent for histopathological examination. Patients were treated accordingly. The data generated from present study concludes that Squamous cell carcinoma of oesophagus was found to be the most common cause of dysphagia which can be due to rising incidence of gastro esophageal reflux disease or Barret’s esophageous. Hence role of endoscopy is much valuable in detecting these premalignant conditions to prevent this manifestation.
Does secrecy equal security? Limiting access to environmental information.

Predicting fluid responsiveness has become a topic of major interest. Measurements of intravascular pressures and volumes often fail to predict the response to fluids, even though very low values are usually associated with a positive response to fluids. Dynamic indices reflecting respiratory-induced variations in stroke volume have been developed; however, these cannot be used in patients with arrhythmia or with spontaneous respiratory movements. The passive leg raising (PLR) test has been suggested to predict fluid responsiveness. PLR induces an abrupt increase in preload due to autotransfusion of blood contained in capacitance veins of the legs, which leads to an increase in cardiac output in preload-dependent patients. This commentary discusses some of the technical issues related to this test. In many instances, hemodynamic optimization requires the use of fluids. However, the response to fluids may be quite variable and cannot be adequately predicted from the measurements of intravascular pressures (central venous pressure or pulmonary artery pressure) [1] or volumes. Indeed, the relationship between stroke volume and preload varies considerably between the patients. Accordingly, extreme values only can predict fluid responsiveness. Dynamic indices reflecting respiratory-induced variations in stroke volume have been developed [2], but these cannot be used in patients with cardiac arrhythmias or in patients with spontaneous respiratory movements [3] or ventilated with a low tidal volume [4]. Recently, the so-called passive leg raising (PLR) test has been proposed. This test is based on the principle that PLR induces an abrupt increase in preload due to autotransfusion of blood contained in capacitance veins of the legs. This abrupt increase in preload leads to an increase in cardiac output in preload-dependent patients but not in other patients. However, the test requires the determination of cardiac output with a fast-response device, because the hemodynamic changes may be transient. In a previous issue of Critical Care, Lafanechere and colleagues [1] used esophageal Doppler to monitor cardiac output and reported that a PLR-induced increase in cardiac output higher than 8% can predict fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients. The predictive value of the PLR test was similar to that of respiratory-induced variations in pulse pressure. Although this study basically confirms the results of Monnet and colleagues [5], it brings some new pieces of information to the field, but also raises important questions.

Light intensity and thermal conditions have energy savings implications. Based on environmental psychology, ergonomics and in-store environment research, this study analyzes the direct and interaction effects of lighting and perceived temperature on store evaluations. Three evaluative dimensions emerged from the factor analysis: stimulation, upmarket positioning and relaxation. A 2 x 2 x 3 experiment (lighting x perceived temperature x retail outlet) shows that lighting and its interaction with perceived temperature influence stimulation and upmarket positioning. Perceived temperature has a direct impact on stimulation. The type of retail outlet (jeans, books, and furniture) affects stimulation, upmarket positioning and relaxation.
Interventional 2D/3D Registration with Contextual Pose Update

Traditional intensity-based 2D/3D registration requires near-perfect initialization in order for image similarity metrics to yield meaningful gradient updates of X-ray pose. They depend on image appearance rather than content, and therefore, fail in revealing large pose offsets that substantially alter the appearance of the same structure. We complement traditional similarity metrics with a convolutional neural network-based (CNN-based) similarity function that captures large-range pose relations by extracting both local and contextual information, and proposes meaningful X-ray pose updates without the need for accurate initialization. Our CNN accepts a target X-ray image and a digitally reconstructed radiograph at the current pose estimate as input and iteratively outputs pose updates on the Riemannian Manifold. It integrates seamlessly with conventional image-based registration frameworks. Long-range relations are captured primarily by our CNN-based method while short-range offsets can be recovered accurately with an image similarity-based method. On both synthetic and real X-ray images of the pelvis, we demonstrate that the proposed method can successfully recover large rotational and translational offsets, irrespective of initialization.
Fauna and species diversity of thrips (Insecta: Thysanoptera) on Montpellier maple trees Acer monspessulanum in Zagros forests of Ilam province, Iran

Montpellier maple Acer monspessulanum L. is one of the trees in Zagros forests (Iran) which is host to several economically important thrips species. The purpose of this study was to find the fauna of thrips on Montpellier maple trees in Ilam province, western Iran, during 2015-2016. The abundance and species diversity of thrips were examined twice a month via standard sweep net and shaking flowers and leaves to white plastic tray at two location sites including Gachan and Manesht Mountains. Out of the 7062 thrips specimens that were collected, 16 thrips species were identified, which belonged to 10 genera and four families. The estimated domination coefficient showed that in both sites Taeniothrips inconsequens Uzel was eudominant and onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman was dominant species. There were 5 and 4 species classified as subdominant for Gachan and Manasht, respectively. Four predatory thrips were found on Montpellier maple trees including Aeolothrips intermedius Bagnall, Scolothrips longicornis Priesner, Haplothrips flavitibia Williams and H. globiceps. Of these, A. intermedius was the most abundant predator in both collection sites, whereas others showed a low population density. According to diversity index calculations, the Shannon diversity, Pielou’s evenness and Margalef’s species richness indices were 1.83, 0.68 and 1.67 for Gachan, and 1.48, 0.62 and 1.26 for Manesht, respectively.

Assessment of Nutrition State in Children with Heart Diseases

Background: It is well- known that children with congenital heart diseases (CHD) are at high risk for nutrition and growth restrictions. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess growth restriction in infants and young children with heart disease and investigate the relationship between poor growth, feeding difficulties, cardiac classification, and nutrition intervention on outcomes. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 100 children, 50 of them with symptomatic CHD (patient group). They were recruited from the Pediatric Cardiology Outpatient Clinic at Aswan Heart Center from March to August, 2016. A group of 50 apparently healthy children matched in age and sex represented our control group. CHD was diagnosed or excluded by clinical findings and echocardiographic and other routine tests. Results: We found there was some growth restriction in children with CHD compared to normal children in same age group. The growth deficiency was wasting rather than stunting and it was found to be the most common type of malnutrition in our study. No relationship between cardiac complexity, classification (cyanotic vs. acyanotic) and variables including growth parameters. Close nutritional monitoring should be included routinely for all children with CHD regardless of cardiac classification. Age at time of corrective surgery affects the potential for nutritional recovery and catch-up growth. Conclusion: Children with CHD require unique nutritional challenges. It is important to start dealing with nutrition status in congenital heart diseases as a preventable association rather than common consequence. Nutritional screening for diagnosed CHD cases will help in early detection of growth faltering, consequently it will provide access to early nutrition intervention and improve patient outcomes.
MICROEMULSION-BASED FLUSHING FLUID FOR EFFECTIVE REMOVAL OF FILTER CAKE IN WELLS CEMENTATION

The objective of this work is to evaluate the effective removal of mud cake formed by drilling fluid for microemulsion-based flushing fluid. The microemulsions were prepared with vegetable castor oil, 2%wt KCl as aqueous phase, and nonionic surfactant (Ultranex NP40). Thermal stability, rheological, removal, and wettability inversion were performed to evaluate the performance of the microemulsion-based flushing fluid. Rheological tests showed that microemulsions behaved like Newtonian fluids. The best formulation of flushing fluid was 70% surfactant/25% oil phase/5% aqueous phase, with cloudy temperature at 365.25 K, removal efficiency of mud cake of 84.85 %, and high capability of wettability inversion.
Wage inequality across Australian labour market regions

This paper considers the patterns of inequality in wage and salaries across labour markets in Australia. Using data sourced from the Australian Taxation Office and the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the paper develops several measures of wage and salary inequality and considers both the regional differences in, and the potential drivers of, inequality at the regional level. The research reported illustrates the uneven nature of the wage inequality issue across Australian regions, illustrating the regional winners and losers in terms of inequality outcomes, and suggests that a number of regional level factors may be important in understanding the differences in inequality outcomes reported.
Gravity Estimations with FDI Bilateral Data: Potential FDI Effects of Deep Preferential Trade Agreements

This study employs a structural gravity model to analyse the impact of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) on bilateral foreign direct investment (FDI). We use the UNCTAD global database on bilateral FDI stocks and flows. To control for the heterogenous nature of PTAs, we employ two different indicators of PTA depth. We find that ’deeper’ or comprehensive PTAs (e.g. including provisions on investment, public procurement and intel- lectual property rights provision) have a significant positive impact on bilateral FDI between partners. The deepest PTA is expected to increase bilateral FDI stocks between signatory countries by around 54%. As an example, we analyse the potential impact on foreign direct investment of the economic co-operation agreement signed by the Pacific Alliance countries (Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru) in 2012.
National culture, work-life balance and employee well-being in European tourism firms: the moderating effect of uncertainty avoidance values

The competitive advantage of companies rests upon work attitudes and the behavior of their employees. Work-life balance initiatives are considered to be an important antecedent of employees’ well-being, and thus a factor that highly conditions employees’ work attitudes and behavior. This study explores these relationships in the tourism industry, where hotels and restaurants offer day and night services that could harm work-life balance. Also, in the tourism industry, the national diversity of employees is continuously rising as a result of the increasing movement of people across borders. According to cross-cultural studies, differences in cultural dimensions (e.g., uncertainty avoidance) cause an impact on work-related variables. Thus, people’s need for work-life balance may depend on their national cultures, which is why the moderating effect of national culture is under study. The empirical analysis carried out on a sample of 745 employees in tourism firms located in 17 European countries confirms the moderating role of national culture on the effect that human resource practices regarding work-life balance have on employees’ well-being at work.
