The Relation Between Prices of Factors and Goods in General Equilibrium
Authors: Bandyopadhyay Taradas , Biswas Tapan
Published: November 2021

In an n x n economy, the relation between commodity prices and factor prices has been presented in terms of finite variations. Using a generalization of the dominant diagonal condition on the Jacobian of the set of unit cost functions, this paper shows that a rise in the price of any commodity will bring about an increase in the earnings of the corresponding factor, making no other factor better off than that factor while the earnings of at least one other factor will not increase. Strengthening the requirement further shows that the earnings of at least one factor will decline.

The Determinants of Mergers & Acquisitions in a Resource-Based Industry: What Role for Environmental Sustainability?
Authors: Leon-Gonzalez Roberto , Tole Lise
Published: November 2021

This paper examines the relationship between environmental stringency and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in a highly polluting, resource-based industry. Specifically, it seeks to determine whether buyers are targeting countries with the same or different levels of environmental stringency than in their own country, i.e. whether pollution havens exist in the global mining industry. Rather than aggregate investment, which has been used by most previous studies, we analyze a dataset of individual investment choices. We model the choice of country and the amount invested jointly as the two variables are likely to be correlated. The choice of country is modeled using a random parameters multinomial Logit model. We use a hitherto unanalyzed data set of the value paid for all completed M&A in the mining industry worldwide between 1994 and 2006. We find no evidence of pollution havens in this industry. If anything, buyers from countries with high levels of environmental stringency are more likely to invest in countries with a similar level of environmental stringency and make larger investments in them than in less environmentally stringent countries.
The Advantages of Probabilistic Survey Questions
Authors: Potter Simon M. , Del Negro Marco , Topa Giorgio , Van der Klaauw Wilbert
Published: November 2021

In monetary policymaking, central bankers have long pointed out the importance of measuring the expectations of financial market participants, households, and firms —especially with regard to inflation and the central bank’s so-called “reaction function” to changes in the economic outlook. In addition to model- and market-implied measures, there has been a growing interest in and reliance on survey-based measures of subjective expectations. This article describes two major innovative survey initiatives conducted by the New York Fed to measure policy-relevant expectations of households and market participants: the Survey of Consumer Expectations, and the Survey of Primary Dealers and Survey of Market Participants. A key feature of these surveys is its use of a probabilistic question format to elicit the likelihood respondents assign to different future events. We discuss the advantages of using probabilistic questions, illustrate their value in more fully measuring beliefs and uncertainty, and document the pervasiveness and importance of heterogeneity in beliefs among our survey respondents.
Predicting mechanical properties of clear wood from Acacia mangium provenances using ultrasound
Authors: Van Duong Doan , Hasegawa Masumi
Published: November 2021

Ultrasound was considered as a means for determining mechanical properties of clear wood in six different Acacia mangium provenances from a trial forest planted in Vietnam. A total of 30 trees (5 trees from each provenance) with no major defects were selected, and a 50-cm-long log was obtained at 1.3 m above the ground from each tree for the assessment of mechanical properties. The measured average ultrasound velocities for provenances tested in the longitudinal direction ranged from 4094 m/s to 4271 m/s. The predicted average dynamic modulus of elasticity (Ed) values varied from 7.42 GPa to 8.70 GPa among provenances. The Ed indicated significant positive correlation coefficients with modulus of elasticity (0.64 to 0.96), modulus of rupture (0.44 to 0.87), and compression strength (0.54 to 0.92) for provenances examined in this study. The results indicated that the use of ultrasound was feasible to determine the mechanical properties of A. mangium provenances planted in Vietnam.
Physical-mechanical properties and durability enhancement of glued laminated lumber made from inner part of Gewang (Corypha utan Lam.) trunk: The effect of lamina densification and lumber smoking
Authors: Nandika Dodi , Darmawan I Wayan , Karlinasari Lina , Hadi Yusuf Sudo , Abdillah Imam Busyra , Putri Julia Yonipi
Published: November 2021

The inner part of gewang (Corypha utan Lam.) trunk has significantly lower physical-mechanical properties as well as biodeterioration resistance, compared to outer parts. This study investigated a method for improving the physical-mechanical properties and biodeterioration resistance of glued laminated lumber made from the inner part of gewang trunk (GLIT). The effects of pretreating the lamina with densification and exposing the GLIT to smoking process were investigated. The seven layers of GLIT samples were bonded with isocyanate adhesive at a glue spread of 280 g/m2, then smoked for 15 days. Solid lumber pieces made from the inner part as well as the outer part of GLIT were also prepared for comparative purposes. Physical and mechanical properties of the lumber samples were tested according to Japanese agricultural standards. Meanwhile, dry-wood termite and wood decaying fungi resistances of the lumber samples were determined according to Indonesian standard. Results showed that overall physical-mechanical properties as well as dry-wood termite and decay resistances of densified-smoked GLIT were enhanced significantly. Pretreating of lamina and post-production smoking can be considered as a potential method to improve physical-mechanical properties and biodeterioration resistance of the GLIT.

Authors: Babenko V.F.
Published: November 2021

We provide sharp estimates of Jackson's inequalities type for the best $(\alpha, \beta)$-approximations in the space $L_1$ of periodic functions that are representable as the convolution of the kernel $K$ that does not increase the number of sign alternations with functions $\varphi \in C$, by means of convolutions of the kernel $K$ with the functions that are piecewise-constant in the intervals $\bigl( \frac{l \pi}{n}, \frac{(l+1)\pi}{n} \bigr)$.
On existence of perfect splines and monosplines with given zeros
Authors: Babenko V.F.
Published: November 2021

We provide an elementary proof of existence of periodic function, whose $r$-th derivative takes only two values, $\alpha$ and $-\beta$ ($\alpha$, $\beta$ are given positive numbers), and has no more than $2n$ sign alternations on a period, which has, on a period, exactly $2n$ zeros, given beforehand. We note that the analogous statement for monosplines easily follows from this.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: This paper presents the results of cognitive and emotional representation of COVID-19 in the sample of adult Poles during the peak of the second wave of the pandemic (November–December 2020). Aims: The study was designed to investigate the mental and emotional representation of COVID-19 in adult Poles. It was hypothesised that the representation would have a different structure depending on gender, age, education as well as personal experience of COVID-19 or other medical conditions. Methods: The survey was carried out in November and December 2020, and involved two hundred Polish adults aged 17 to 58 years (Mage = 32.59, SD = 10.19). The subjects were surveyed via the Google Forms web survey platform. A link to the survey was sent to the participants on Facebook. Results: Three in four respondents were found to believe that COVID-19 indeed existed, and that a virus was the most important cause of the problem. According to nearly one in two respondents, the effects of the disease were exaggerated by the mass media. On average, the respondents tend to believe that the severity of the disease may be controlled by one’s behaviour. The emotional representation of COVID-19 reflected predominantly negative emotions. The respondents were convinced that the disease led to significant consequences affecting the domains of personal life and work. Discussion: According to many participants, the effects of the disease are overestimated in media reports. The lack of knowledge about neurological and neuropsychological complications suggests that this aspect of the disease is insufficiently emphasised in the mass media during the second wave of the pandemic. Conclusions: Individual variables and experience of COVID-19 affect one’s cognitive and emotional representation of the disease and one’s beliefs concerning the mitigation of risks. This means that any future information related to COVID-19, and the promotion of knowledge concerning the possible mechanisms of disease development, must be conveyed in a way adjusted to gender and age as well as the level of education.

Published: November 2021

Modafinil belongs to a class of wakefulness promoting agents. It is widely used in the treatment of sleep disorders. Although narcolepsy is the main indication for its use, hypersomnia from obstructive sleep apnoea and shift work sleep disorder are also indications in some countries. Due to its efficacy in the treatment of hypersomnia, the drug has also been clinically assessed in patients with mental disorders to reduce the severity of symptoms such as fatigue, hypersomnolence and cognitive impairment. The aim of this paper is to present the potential clinical applications of modafinil in the treatment of selected mental disorders. The use of modafinil in depressive disorders to enhance the treatment applied may improve mood, anhedonia and apathy, fatigue, hypersomnolence and executive cognitive impairment. In severe episodes of bipolar depression, modafinil may improve depressive symptoms, fatigue, and hypersomnia. Despite the potential risk of manic symptoms during modafinil treatment, recent studies show no increased risk of switching from depressive to manic phase. In schizophrenia, there is no evidence for the beneficial effect of modafinil on the negative symptoms, but improvement in selected cognitive functions accompanied by exacerbation of psychotic symptoms was observed in some patients. Furthermore, modafinil is used as an alternative to standard therapy in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Despite lacking evidence for the efficacy of modafinil in cocaine addiction, an analysis of selected studies indicates a potential benefit in the form of maintained abstinence. Modafinil is well tolerated and safe in most cases. The risk of dependence is lower than with other psychostimulants.

Authors: ALTIN Hakan
Published: November 2021

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of congenital heart diseases (CHD) encountered in low-risk and high-risk pregnant women by fetal echocardiographic (FE) examination.
Material and Method: The records of 855 pregnant women with a gestational week greater than 16 who applied to the pediatric cardiology outpatient clinic of our hospital between July 2019- October 2021 and underwent FE were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: CHD was detected in 109 (12.7%) of 855 pregnant women who were referred to our center and underwent FE examination. Frequency of CHD was given according to risk groups. The rate of CHD in patients in the high-risk group was 15.2%, while it was 9% in patients in the low-risk group (p=0.008). Significant CHD was 6.2% in the high-risk group versus 2.7% in the low-risk group (p=0.016). The most common structural cardiac anomaly in FE examination was ventricular septal defect (38.5% in 42 fetuses), and the second most common cardiac anomaly was atriyoventricular septal defect (18.3% in 20 fetuses).
Conclusion: In our study, it was found a higher rate of CHD in pregnant women in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group and especially significant CHD was detected more common in pregnant women in the high-risk group.

Published: November 2021

In the public administration field, the legislative, executive and judicial frameworks should be consistent. The institutional framework of the Palestinian local government, however, seems largely impacted by an incoherent legal framework. Against this backdrop, this study describes the current local government institutional framework. Secondly, this study investigates the current issues relating to the legal and institutional frameworks of the Palestinian local government. A qualitative research approach was adopted to collect data in order to achieve the objectives of the study. The present research utilizes a combination of primary and secondary data. Nine interviews were conducted to gather the primary data, while scholarly works and government documents were used for gathering secondary data. The results show that fully governmental institutions are the most active within the institutional framework while non-governmental institutions are less active. The results also show that the primary obstacle for an efficient legal framework is due to previous laws, overlapping powers and weak legal practices. Furthermore, the institutional framework suffers from deformed structure and weak integration. The discussion section revealed that the current local government system can be best described as a “Chaotic Hybrid System”. When comparing the empirical results with the theoretical concepts, it is indicated that the current local government structure reflects the Public Choice Theory perspective, which advocates for horizontal and vertical fragmentation. However, the Israeli occupation and international funds seem to contribute to complicating the fragmentation of the structure. The structure hence could be described as “Altered Fragmented Structure”.

Published: November 2021

The UNESCO World Conference on Higher Education, held in Paris, France in October 1998, adopted a universal declaration on the need for a new vision and paradigm in higher education responsive to the challenges of the 21st century. This study is an effort to answer this call but only in the limited field of public sector management education curriculum at the Master’s level. This study attempted an evaluation of existing curricula in terms of the responsive objectives in knowledge, skills, and values as well as the perceived gap between theory and practice. Further, it sought to identify any differences among school administrators, faculty, and students including practitioners in their perceptions regarding these objectives. The study used a three-staged survey to surface data as basics for the proposed curriculum. The first stage was a request for printed materials of the Master in Public Administration/counterpart courses from 66 educational institutions. The second stage was a questionnaire to which 69/132 (52%) school administrators, 112/198 (56.5%) faculty, 188/330 (56.9%) students, and 76/76 (100%) are practitioners, representing an overall 60.4 percent retrieval rate. The questionnaires sought answers to the specific sub-problems of the study. The third questionnaire was sent to all respondents who replied to the second questionnaire; their opinion on the proposed objectives and courses/subjects were sought. Based on the findings, the researchers developed the proposed curriculum. This curriculum in conformity with the Commission on Higher Education standards consists of the following: 1. Core/Professional Orientation (12 units), Theory and Practice of Governance (3 units), Human Behavior in Organization (3 units), Leadership and Organization Change (3 units), Administrative Laws (3 units); 2. Research and Evaluation (6 units), Quantitative Methods of Management and Statistics (3 units), Research Techniques (3 units); 3. Major Subjects (15 units) on any of the following: Economic Development (3 units), Development Administration (3 units), Communication and Information Management (3 units), Public Management Issues (3 units), Ethics and Accountability in the Public Service (3 units), Environmental Management (3 units); 4. Thesis Writing (6 units). This study will be useful to schools or will offer a public sector management education course at the Master’s level as well as to the Commission on Higher Education for standard setting.
REPRESENTATIVE BUREAUCRACY, IMMIGRANTS, AND TRUST IN GOVERNMENT: A CROSS-NATIONAL STUDY
Authors:   Incheon National University, Campbell Jesse
Published: November 2021

Building a civil service that reflects the diversity of the population it serves can increase bureaucratic legitimacy and the fairness of public service provision. In this study, I draw on symbolic representation theory and argue that the impact of representative bureaucracy on trust in government can vary by citizen immigration status. Combining microlevel demographic and opinion data from respondents in 43 countries and country-level estimates of the representativeness of government personnel, I implement a series of multi-level models to test the theory. The analysis suggests that the representativeness of government bureaucracy does not affect trust in the average case but is a significant factor for first generation immigrants. This study provides new evidence for the trust-enhancing effect of representative bureaucracy among minority stakeholders. I discuss how a cross-national approach can further enrich the theoretical landscape of the representative bureaucracy construct.

Authors: Rashwan Zohour Ibrahim , Khamis Gehan Maher
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Breakthrough technologies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) revolutionized neonates’ quality of care. Mother scented simulated hand (MSSH) is an ergonomically designed supportive hand that uses the power of touch to simulate the feeling of being held and cuddled. This study aimed to determine the effect of MSSH on promoting comfort among mechanically ventilated preterm neonates during invasive procedures.Methods: A quasi-experimental, pre-posttest two groups study was carried out in NICU in Smouha, Alexandria. A sample of 62 mechanically ventilated neonates was randomly assigned to two equal groups; the study group wrapped with a warm MSSH during the invasive procedures while the control group received standard care of NICU. Two observers independently rated the neonates’ level of comfort, distress, and pain during endotracheal suctioning (ETS) and heel prick using COMFORTneo scale.Results: It is revealed that the mechanically ventilated neonates had a significantly higher comfort level with MSSH than the standard care during and after both ETS and heal break (p < 0.001 for each). The neonates had significantly lower distress and pain scores when encircled by MSSH during invasive procedures than standard care (p < 0.001 for NRS distress and p < 0.001 for NRS distress).Conclusion: Wrapping the preterm neonates with a warm MSSH promotes comfort and reduces their pain and distress during invasive procedures, especially when their mothers are not physically available.

INTRODUCCIÓN La alexitimia es prevalente en pacientes con trastorno por uso de sustancias (TUS); sin embargo, su impacto en la adherencia y las recaídas no se ha establecido de forma clara. Además, el instrumento Gold Estándar para la medicación de alexitimia (Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto de 20 ítems – TAS-20) no ha sido validada para población española con TUS. OBJETIVOS PResnetar resultados de estudio longitudinal sobre el imapcto de la alexitimia en la adherencia y las reca´dis en pacientes con TUS. Asimismo, presentar estudio de características psicométricas de la TAS-20 en población española con TUS. MÉTODOS Se realizó un estudio longitudinal a 12 meses en un centro ambulatorio de tratamientos de adicciones incluyendo pacientes españoles con TUS, siendo valorada la alexitimia de forma basal y valorándose el momento de recaída y adherencia al tratamiento en su seguimiento. Además un análisis confirmatorio factorial fue realizado para valorar las características psicométricas de la TAS-20. RESULTADOS 126 pacientes fueron reclutados, siendo la alexitimia prevalente en e4sta población. Además, los pacientes con alexitimia presentaban recaídas más tempranas y una peor adherencia. Por otro lado, la TAS-20 presenta unas características psicométricas adecuadas para la evaluación de la alexitmia en población española con TUS. CONCLUSIONES La alexitmia tiene una relación importante con el TUS, siendo un factor relacionado con las recaídas y adherencia. Por ello, la evaluación de la misma es importante desde el punto de vista clínico, siendo la TAS-20 una herramienta válida para su medición en esta población.
FACTORES DE PROTECCIÓN DE LA ABSTINENCIA EN PACIENTES CON TRASTORNO POR CONSUMO DE SUSTANCIAS TRAS LA DESINTOXICACIÓN HOSPITALARIA
Authors: Mondon Magalí Andreu , Marco Oriol , Alcaraz Noelia , Barrio Pablo
Published: November 2021

Objetivos: Estudiar el mantenimiento de la abstinencia y posibles factores de protección en pacientes con trastorno por consumo de sustancias tras un ingreso hospitalario de desintoxicación. Métodos: estudio descriptivo longitudinal retrospectivo en pacientes que realizaron una desintoxicación hospitalaria en la unidad de Conductas Adictivas del Hospital Clínico de Barcelona desde enero del 2019 hasta marzo del 2021. Se utilizó el modelo de Regresión de Cox para identificar variables relacionadas con mayor tiempo de abstinencia tras el ingreso. Resultados: La muestra constaba de 248 pacientes (61,6% hombres, edad media 45 ±13,2 años). Un 38,4% estaba en paro, el 19,2% trabajando y el 40% eran pensionistas o jubilados. La media de meses de vinculación a los servicios de adicciones fue de 37,8 (± 54 meses). Un 56,2% cursó un ingreso de tipo voluntario y un 20,4% de los pacientes fueron trasladados a un recurso residencial después del ingreso. La mediana de días de abstinencia tras el alta fue de 35 días (IC 95% 20,4 – 49,6), siendo la media de 81,8 (±112,7) días. Los factores de protección con relación significativa respecto el tiempo de abstinencia fueron ser hombre (p=.005), estar laboralmente activo (p=.001), realizar un ingreso de tipo involuntario (p=.01), tener mayor tiempo de vinculación a los servicios de adicciones (p=.015) y realizar seguimiento post-hospitalario en dispositivos residenciales (p=.001). Conclusiones: se confirma que existe un importante porcentaje de recaídas en el consumo en los primeros meses tras el alta, como sugieren otros estudios (Grau-López et al., 2012; Xie et al., 2005). Algunas variables individuales (como el sexo y la situación laboral), clínicas (tiempo de vinculación) y del tratamiento (tipo de ingreso y de seguimiento) pueden reducir el riesgo de recaída tras el ingreso (factores de protección). Estos datos resaltan la importancia de identificar pacientes más vulnerables y diseñar planes terapéuticos más efectivos.
DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINIAN GRAMMAR COMPETENCE IN SCHOOL GRADUATES IN EIE-TEST-DRIVEN INSTRUCTION
Authors: Shovkovyi Viacheslav , Sapozhnikova Olena
Published: November 2021

Background: Training school graduates for External Independent Evaluation (EIE) in Ukrainian is a specialprocess oriented towards developing students’ necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities sufficient for passing the EIE test within the shortest time possible taking from several months to several weeks. Part of the EIE, grammar occupies a prominent place in training schoolers for the test. The development of graduates’ grammar competence relies on the block teaching technology which is intended to improve, systematize, and guide students’ knowledge acquisition as well as to enhance their skills and abilities. The technology was designed to organize
grammar learning material in relatively complete conceptual blocks, each of them involving four components: theory, practice, individual work, and assessment.
Purpose: The present study aims to design a block technology for developing Ukrainian grammar competence in 10-11th- grade students in training them for External Independent Evaluation and provide its implementation in the educational process.
Results and Discussion: The paper proves that the block technology for developing Ukrainian grammar competence in school graduates is relevant to the aims and content of the EIE-test-driven curriculum. The technology includes 15 modules involving theory, practice, individual work, and assessment.

¿Cómo enseñar ciencia en tiempos de pandemia a los/as futuros/as maestros/as de Educación Infantil?
Authors: Golías Pérez Yolanda , Rivadulla-López Juan-Carlos , Fuentes-Silveira María-Jesús
Published: November 2021

En este trabajo se presenta la adaptación a la docencia virtual de la asignatura Enseñanza de las Ciencias de la Naturaleza (2º Curso del Grado de Educación Infantil). El número de estudiantes fue de 138 matriculados. La metodología empleada se caracteriza por un aprendizaje colaborativo orientado de forma presencial. El problema principal fue: ¿Cómo adaptar la docencia de una materia tan práctica y en tan poco tiempo? Los objetivos que, con la adaptación y el rediseño de las actividades, se pretendían alcanzar eran: vivenciar las prácticas en casa como si se llevasen a cabo en el laboratorio, desarrollar habilidades científicas y desarrollar competencias científicas y didácticas propias de un/a maestro/a de Educación Infantil. Para ello, se diseñan y reelaboran guiones mucho más descriptivos pensando materiales cotidianos de casa y se comparten recursos online a través del campus virtual. Como aspectos positivos, los/as estudiantes manifiestan que el seguimiento de la materia ha supuesto un disfrute y entretenimiento en la realización de los experimentos. En cuanto a los aspectos negativos, debemos destacar la falta de interacción docente-alumnado y las escasas visualizaciones de las sesiones asíncronas. Por lo que consideramos que una materia tan práctica requiere, especialmente, de la presencialidad.
