Brazil: What Are the Main Drivers of Income Distribution Changes in the New Millennium?

Since the beginning of the 1970s, Brazil has been known as one of the most un equal countries in the world (Bacha and Taylor 1978; Fishlow 1972; Langoni 1973; Ramos 1993). 1 Its per capita income inequality presented high instability but no clear trend until 2001. After the start of the new millennium, inequality fell every single year until 2014 (Barros et al. 2006; Kakwani et al. 2014; Neri 2004). Earnings inequality also presented a falling trend in this period (Ferreira et al. 2016; IPEA 2013; Neri and Camargo 2002). In 2003, the income-equalizing movement was coupled with an acceleration of GDP growth and, on top of that, mean household income grew even faster. The abovementioned inequality trend has a clear parallel with the rest of Latin America, while its household income growth is at odds with other countries of the region and with Brazil’s own National Accounts statistics. As a result, until 2014, Gini index-based social welfare grew three times faster than GDP. In this period, Brazil followed a ‘middle path’, in which the well-being distribution improved simultaneously on these three fronts. Roughly speaking, social welfare growth was evenly divided between: (i) falling inequality of household income; (ii) the differential of mean income between surveys and National Accounts; (iii) and real GDP growth (Neri 2014). This chapter describes the evolution of Brazilian income distribution and its close determinants between 1994 and 2015. Encompassing both inequality and
Lasting impact of winds on Arctic sea ice through the ocean's memory

Abstract. In this paper we studied the impact of winds on Arctic sea ice through the ocean’s memory by using numerical simulations. We found that the changes in ocean freshwater content induced by wind perturbations can significantly affect the Arctic sea ice drift, thickness, concentration and deformation rates regionally even years after the wind perturbations. Changes in the Arctic liquid freshwater content cause changes in the sea surface height and surface geostrophic currents, which further enforce a lasting and strong impact on sea ice. Both the changes in sea surface height gradient force (due to changes in sea surface height) and ice-ocean stress (due to changes in surface geostrophic currents) are found to be important in determining the overall ocean effects. The revealed ocean effects are mainly associated with changes in sea ice dynamics, not thermodynamics. Depending on the preceding atmospheric mode driving the ocean, the ocean’s memory of the wind forcing can lead to changes in Arctic sea ice characteristics with very different spatial patterns. We identified these spatial patterns associated with Arctic Oscillation, Arctic Dipole Anomaly and Beaufort High modes through dedicated numerical simulations. The dynamical impact of the ocean has strong seasonal variations, stronger in summer and weaker in winter and spring. It implies that declining trends of Arctic sea ice will very possibly allow a stronger ocean impact on the sea ice in a warming climate.

Measuring the impact of diversity attitudes and practices of people without migration background on inclusion and exclusion in ethnically diverse contexts. Introducing the diversity attitudes and practices impact scales

ABSTRACT Assimilation and integration processes have been studied widely and for many years, mainly by looking at the attitudes and practices of people with migration background. This article focusses on the mirror group: the people without migration background. Based on a literature review we propose a new model, the Diversity Attitudes and Practices Impact (DAPI) scales, to assess the impact they have on inclusion and exclusion in ethnically diverse contexts. We test the model using new data on Rotterdam, a superdiverse majority minority city with a large share of voters for anti-immigrant parties. Though the attention, both in research and in the public debate, is focussed on the rise of anti-immigrant sentiments in Europe and the United States, the outcomes of our DAPI-scales model demonstrate that, counter to what is expected, the most probable trend in Rotterdam is towards more socio-economic inclusion and more openness to cultural diversity.
Evaluation of Boarding Secondary Schools in terms of Education Equity

The present study aimed to evaluate educational equality in regional boarding secondary schools (YBO) in Turkey opened to meet the educational needs of children who live in rural areas and are in the age of compulsory education. The research was qualitative using the in-depth interview technique and was carried out with the participation of 39 teachers working in BSSs in Ankara, Bingöl and Bartın provinces. The data collected was analyzed with the content analysis technique. In the analysis, according to teachers working in these schools, the education given in YBOs was of sufficient quality and YBOs provide disadvantaged children with access to quality education. However, the children studying in these schools experienced family deprivation, which reflected negatively on their academic success. In Turkey, YBOs provide educational equity in terms of access to education for children living in rural areas, but children have some problems stemming from staying away from family. Additionally, since schools do not meet certain standards, the problem of inequality continues. Based on the results of the research, it is recommended that the differences in quality between boarding schools should be eliminated, teacher turnover rates in these schools should be reduced and permanent teachers should be employed. Also, boarding secondary schools should not be an obligation but an option for children considering that children long for a family which in the absence can have negative effects on academic success.
Exploration of High-Performance Single-Atom Catalysts on Support M1/FeOx for CO Oxidation via Computational Study

Inspired by the recently discovered highly active CO oxidation catalyst Pt1/FeOx [Qiao, B. ; Wang, A. ; Yang, X. ; Allard, L. F. ; Jiang, Z. ; Cui, Y. ; Liu, J.; Li, J.; Zhang, T. Nat. Chem. 2011, 3, 634–641], we systemically examined various single-atom catalysts M1/FeOx (M = Au, Rh, Pd, Co, Cu, Ru and Ti) by means of density functional theory (DFT) computations, aiming at developing even more efficient and low-cost nanocatalysts for CO oxidation. Our computations identified five single-atom catalysts, namely the oxygen-defective Rh1/FeOx and Pd1/FeOx, Ru1/FeOx with or without oxygen vacancy, and vacancy-free Ti1/FeOx and Co1/FeOx, which exhibit improved overall catalytic performance compared to Pt1/FeOx for the CO oxidation via a Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH) mechanism. These theoretical results provide new guidelines to design even more active and/or cost-effective heterogeneous catalysts for CO oxidation.

THE IMPACT OF RENEWABLE AND NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY CONSUMPTION ON FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT: EVIDENCE FROM EMERGING COUNTRIES

Energy is an essential factor for countries to accomplish sustainable development and the importance of renewable energy has enhancing day by day. Over the last three decades the relationship between renewable energy consumption (RNW) and economic growth as well as energy consumption (EC) and financial development (FD) has intensely studied. In this paper the relationship between RNW, non-renewable energy consumption (non-RNW) and FD is investigated for top emerging countries of Bloomberg. The financial system deposits to GDP, deposit money bank assets to GDP and private credit to GDP have considered as FD indicators in the paper that investigates the period of 1980-2018. The long-term relationship between the variables was studied with Westerlund (2007) panel cointegration test and the direction of this relationship was examined with Pesaran (2006) CCE-MG panel cointegration estimator. The existence of causality among the variables was analyzed with Dumitrescu and Hurlin
Using the Després and Lagoutière (1999) antidiffusive transport scheme: a promising and novel method against excessive vertical diffusion in chemistry-transport models

Abstract. The potential of the antidiffusive transport scheme proposed by Despres and Lagoutiere ( 1999 ) for resolving vertical transport in chemistry-transport models is investigated in an idealized framework with very encouraging results. We show that, compared to classical higher-order schemes, the Despres and Lagoutiere ( 1999 ) scheme reduces numerical diffusion and improves accuracy in idealized cases that are typical of atmospheric transport of tracers in chemistry-transport models. The increase in accuracy and the reduction in diffusion are substantial when, and only when, vertical resolution is insufficient to properly resolve vertical gradients, which is very frequent in chemistry-transport models. Therefore, we think that this scheme is an extremely promising solution for reducing numerical diffusion in chemistry-transport models.
Comparison of α-amylase, α-glucosidase and lipase inhibitory activity of different types of vinegar

Vinegar is regarded as a fine example of a traditional food that has several medicinal values. It is used as a home-remedy for the management of diabetes and obesity. We investigated how selected vinegar inhibit the digestive enzymes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. A total of seven types of vinegar were examined as follows: apple cider (ACV), balsamic (BV), brown rice (BRV), distilled white (DWV), malt (MV), nipah palm (NPV), and red wine (RWV) vinegar. In vitro enzyme inhibition tests were performed using α-amylase and lipase from porcine pancreas, and α-glucosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the α-amylase assay, NPV (IC50 = 60.97±1.71 mg/mL) exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect, while RWV (IC50 =786.7±0.96 mg/mL) showed the lowest inhibitory effect. RWV (IC50 =92.49±1.51 mg/mL), by contrast, had the highest inhibitory effect against α-glucosidase and was followed by NPV (IC50 = 227.5±1.06 mg/ mL) and BRV (IC50 = 565.1±2.65 mg/mL). All of the samples showed potent inhibitory effects against pancreatic lipase, with MV having the strongest and ACV the lowest effects, respectively. IC50 values ranged from 48.45 mg/mL to 399.8 mg/mL. A concentration-dependent inhibitory effect was recorded for each of the vinegar against all three tested enzymes. None of the vinegar, however, exceeded the effects recorded for the standard drugs. Interestingly, a weak correlation was found between total acidity and enzyme inhibition, which asserted the presence of bioactive compounds in the vinegar. As a conclusion, vinegar can be incorporated into the diet to lower the meal’s glycaemic index and benefit those at risk of diabetes as well as diabetics.

Electrical transport and mechanical properties of thermoelectric tin selenide

Motivated by the unprecedented thermoelectric performance of SnSe, we report its band structure calculations, based on density functional theory using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave. These calculations were further extended to evaluate the electrical transport properties using Boltzmann transport theory and the results were compared with the as-synthesized polycrystalline counterpart, which was synthesized employing conventional vacuum melting technique followed by consolidation employing spark plasma sintering. The as-synthesized SnSe was thoroughly characterized employing XRD, FESEM and TEM for phase purity, morphology and structure. The theoretically predicted band gap values and the temperature dependence of the electrical transport properties of SnSe were in reasonable agreement with the experimental results, within the approximations employed in our theoretical calculations. These theoretical calculations suggested that the optimum thermoelectric performance in SnSe is expected to occur at a hole doping concentration of ∼3 to 5 × 1021 cm−3. The measured fracture toughness and hardness of SnSe were found to be ∼0.76 ± 0.05 MPa √m and 0.27 ± 0.05 GPa, respectively, which are comparable with other state-of-the-art thermoelectric materials. The high value of thermal shock resistance ∼252 ± 9 W m−1, coupled with its good mechanical properties suggests SnSe to be a potential material for thermoelectric device applications.

Gasification of Miscanthus x giganteus in an Air-Blown Bubbling Fluidized Bed: A Preliminary Study of Performance and Agglomeration

Gasification of Miscanthus x giganteus (MxG) was conducted in an air-blown bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) gasifier using magnesite as bed material and a moderate rate of biomass throughput (246.82–155.77 kg/m2h). The effect of equivalence ratio (ER) (0.234–0.372) and bed temperature (645–726 °C) on the performance of gasification was investigated. The results reveal that MxG is a promising candidate for energy production via BFB gasification; of the conditions tested, the optimal ER and temperature are approximately 0.262 and 645 °C, where no sign of agglomeration was found. The product gas from this condition has a higher heating value of 6.27 MJ/m3, a gas yield of 1.65 N m3/kgbiomass (39.5% of CO and 18.25% of H2 on N2 free basis), a carbon conversion efficiency of 94.81% and a hot gasification efficiency of 78.76%. Agglomeration was observed at some higher temperature conditions and believed to be initiated by the formation of fuel-ash derived low melting temperature K-rich (potassium) silicates (amorpho.
Assessing distress tolerance using a modified version of the Emotional Image Tolerance task

The Emotional Image Tolerance (EIT) task assesses tolerance of negative emotion induced by negatively valenced images. We made several minor modifications to the task (Study 1) and adapted the task to include positive and neutral images in order to assess whether individuals respond to the valence or the intensity of the image content (Study 2). In both studies, we assessed subjective distress, gender differences in task responses, and associations between behavioral and self-reported distress tolerance, and related constructs. Across both studies, the EIT successfully induced distress and gender differences were observed, with females generally indicating more distress than males. In Study 2, responses on the adapted EIT task were correlated with self-reported distress tolerance, rumination, and emotion reactivity. The EIT successfully induces distress and the correlations in Study 2 provide promising evidence of validity.
A New Monoterpene from the Flower Buds of Buddleja officinalis

A new monoterpene, crocusatin M (1), was isolated from the flower buds of Buddleja officinalis, together with four known monoterpenes, (6R)-hydroxy-1,1,5-trimethylcyclohex-4-enone (2), (+)-dehydrovomifoliol (3), 7-epiloliolide (4), and crocusatin D (5). Their structures were determined by an extensive analysis of 1D, 2D NMR, HRESI-MS, and CD data as well as by comparison of their spectroscopic data with those of literatures. All isolates were evaluated for inhibitory activities on LPS-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 cells. Among them, compounds 2 and 3 showed moderate inhibitory effects with IC50 values of 63.8 and 24.4 μg/ml, respectively.
Addendum to “Independent re-analysis of alleged mind-matter interaction in double-slit experimental data” (author version before a corrected version of the original manuscript is published in 2021)

This is an addendum to our paper “Independent re-analysis of alleged mind-matter interaction in double-slit experimental data” [1]. Since the publication, a critical flaw has been discovered in the statistical analysis of the data. In a nutshell, the published statistical analysis boils down to testing whether a given data set has a zero average or not. To this end, trimming (removing a given percentage of the lowest and the highest values in the dataset) is performed before a zero-mean t-test. We show that this method is incorrect and leads to uncontrolled false positives (the test rejects too often the zero-mean null hypothesis even if the underlying data is truly of zero mean). As an important consequence, the anomalies originally found in the dataset, reported in [1], are no longer detected.
