Published: February 2023

Anti-genderistische Kommunikation in sozialen Medien ist zu einem relevanten Teil der diskursiven Metastrategie von europäischen Rechtspopulist:innen geworden. Aufgrund der zunehmenden Regulierungsmaßnahmen der Plattformen gestalten sich die Verwendung von Hassreden subtiler und verschleierter. Dieser Artikel konzentriert sich auf die Social Media-Kommunikation von Akteur:innen in Deutschland und analysiert sowohl die Verwendung von inziviler und hasserfüllter Sprache auf der Posting-Ebene als auch die Reaktionen von Social-Media-Nutzer:innen in den Kommentaren. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf der Frage, welche Posting-Attribute zustimmende oder ablehnende Reaktionen beeinflussen und ob in der aktuellen Anti-Gender-Kommunikation die COVID-19-Pandemie für den Diskurs relevant ist. Dazu wurden öffentliche Facebook- und Twitter-Beiträge von elf politischen und zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteur:innen in Deutschland im Zeitraum von 2018 bis 2021 im Hinblick auf verschiedene Anti-Gender-Themen und den Einsatz von Hassrede analysiert. Anschließend wurden Postings nach Themen ausgewählt, um eine qualitative Analyse der 100 Top-Nutzer:innenkommentare durchzuführen. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die zustimmende oder ablehnende Reaktionen der Nutzer:innen weniger durch die Art der Hassrede, sondern vielmehr durch thematische Merkmale ausgelöst wird.

Authors: Taguchi Juliana , Pereira Bianca , Silva Renato
Published: February 2023

A macroamilasemia é uma anormalidade bioquímica ocasionada pela ligação da amilase salivar ou pancreática com outro componente sérico, geralmente imunoglobulinas. Este agregado grande e pesado em geral não é excretado pelos rins, ocasionando hiperamilasemia sérica. A macroamilasemia é uma condição frequentemente benigna, mas pode atuar como fator de confusão diagnóstica em crianças com hiperamilasemia sérica, o que pode acarretar em uma investigação e terapêutica desnecessária. Relatamos o caso de uma adolescente de 13 anos com história de dor abdominal crônica e níveis séricos de amilase persistentemente elevados, porém com níveis de lipase sérica normais, que após investigação, teve como diagnóstico final macroamilasemia e migrânea abdominal.

Drug is a complex problem in Indonesia, marked by the increase of drug addict number and number of revealed cases. This badly impacts the community and country life in the future. One of factors which cause the increase of drug consumption in teenager is their attitude which ignores the values, norms, and applicable law. From Islamic point of view, drug abuse is included into ijtihad because it is not mentioned in Al-Qur’an and Hadits directly, but it is known as khamr. The purpose of this research was to identify the cause of drug abuse in teenagers and drug abuse in the perspective of Islam. The method employed was systematic literature review based on the articles published at Google Scholar and DOAJ in the last ten years (2012-2022) with keywords “drug abuse in teenagers” and “drug abuse in the perspective of Islam”. The results of this research showed that there were some factors which cause drug abuse in teenager such as internal factor and external factor. From Islamic point of view, drug (khamr) is haram and forbidden.

The impacts of fabric thread density and seam structure on woven linen fabric seam slippage and tensile strength characteristics have been investigated. Two different types of woven fabric samples were produced and prepared for the sewing process, with various levels of fabric thread density. The samples are sewn with different seams (superimposed, lapped, and bound), stitch density (10, 12, and 14 stitches/inch), and stitch type (single needle lock stitch, double needle lock stitch and double needle chain stitch). Fabric tensile characteristics, seam slippage, and seam strength in both the warp and weft directions have been tested and evaluated. The research reveals that seam strength and seam slippage are dependent on the seam type, stitch type, and SPI. Furthermore, we found that the fabric’s EPI and PPI had a considerable impact on its seam performance, with greater EPI and PPI resulting in better seam performance.

Denim is one of the most important RMG products made from the colored warp and white weft. The warp is colored before sizing in the preparatory processes. There are mainly two important routes of preparatory processes for producing the weaver’s beam e.g. (i) slasher or sheet denim and (ii) Rope denim. After the production of the weaver’s beam, the weaving is the same as usual. It is widely believed that the two routes of making the weavers beam attributes many differences in the ultimate fabric. The work reported in the paper is an analytical comparison between the impact of the two routes on weaving and fabric characteristics. The study was conducted in a reputed denim manufacturing industry located in Dhaka Bangladesh having both slasher and rope denim facilities. It was revealed that in the case of rope the elongation or stretching of warp yarn is more in rope dyeing than that occurs in a slasher. Regarding the method of spinning, it was observed that the elongation of the ring-spun yarns was more than that of open-end spun yarns. It was also observed that the higher the set length the higher was elongation or stretching of the warp yarns. The single warp yarn tension recorded on the loom was found to vary too much for the slasher beam than that obtained from the rope beam. The warp breakage in the loom is more in the slasher beam than that in the rope beam. Due to more breakage in the loom, the fabric quality of slasher beams is slightly inferior to that of rope. The production capacity of rope is almost double or more than that of slashers. The dyeing and washing characteristics of rope denim fabrics are better than that of slasher, which was due to the greater capacity of the dye boxes and dyeing in rope form. In the cases of all other fabric characteristics too, the rope denim is somewhat better than slasher denim. The consumption of water and utilities (steam supply, air compressor, etc.) are much higher for rope arrangement than the sheet. It seems that the differences are not much significant except dyeing characteristics.

The demand for antimicrobial textiles has increased in the recent global market owing to the booming demand for fresh lifestyles by customers. This can be achieved by using synthetic or natural antimicrobial agents. However, ecological problems have reduced the demand for synthetic antimicrobial agents. Natural antimicrobial agents can be obtained from plants and animals. Traditionally, multiple species of plants have been used to treat various diseases. Calpurnia Aurea and Lantana Camara have been used as medicinal plants in rural Ethiopia. The health benefits of Calpurnia Aurea and Lantana Camara have been proven by different scholars. The presence of phytochemicals that act against photogenic micro-organisms, such as bacteria and fungi indicate the potential of herbs to be used as eco-friendly and sustainable antimicrobial agents in different applications. Thus, the pharmaceutical value of plants has been approved. However, none of these herbs is used in the manufacture of antimicrobial textiles.

Most cotton fabrics are dyed with reactive dyes because they produce a full range of bright fashion colours with a high degree of wash fastness.Reactive dyes are frequently considered as king of dyes for cotton owing to their simple application techniques. However, reactive dyes are anionic and cotton fibers gain anionic surface charge in water, the charge repulsion adversely affects the dye bath exhaustion. Large quantity of electrolyte is added to overcome this problem. Some problems such as low dye utilization, high degree of salt utilization and colored effluent due to unexhausted, unfixed, and hydrolyzed dyestuffs, and high volume of waste water discharged, always exist in the application of reactive dyes.These electrolytes are neither exhausted nor destroyed and hence remain in the discharge dye liquor which leads to enormous environmental problem. Due to these problems this class of dyes is the most unfavorable one from the ecological point of view, these effluents produced gives high values of BOD/COD and increases salinity of the rivers affects the delicate biochemistry of aquatic life.A number of more environmentally sustainable approaches for reactive dyeing of cotton have been proposed to overcome the polluted effluent problem. This paper reviews options to improve the sustainability of the colouration process through development in dye structure, modification of dyeing machinery and processes, chemical modification of cotton fibre prior to dyeing, and use of organic compounds in place of inorganic chemicals.

Pyrolysis is the thermochemical decomposition of organic materials at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. The process usually takes place in a sealed vessel under high pressure. Pyrolysis involves the simultaneous change of chemical composition and physical phase and irreversible. Excessive pyrolysis which leaves most of the carbon as a residue is called carbonization. Pyrolysis can deal with a variety of organic materials including plastic waste, food waste, crop waste, used cooking oil, used engine oil, etc. Pyrolysis is used to transform a variety of household items and industrial residues into fuel by recovering them. During pyrolysis, the molecules of the object vibrate at high frequencies to the extent that the molecules break down. The rate of pyrolysis also increases with the increase of temperature. The temperature of household items ranges from 370°C to above 410°C. Industrial applications have temperatures above 430°C. Pyrolysis is the transformation of waste biomass into a liquid fuel form. The density of the product fuel is 0.89gram/millilitre. The fuel produced has a long carbon chain length C9-C24 which is determined by Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS). The produced fuel functional group and energy fuel heat enthalpy value is shown in the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis result. The fuel produced can also be used as an internal combustion engine. The feed stock can be used as feed for refineries or as power generation feed for power plants. The objective of this research is to address the problem of waste plastic by using economical technology pyrolysis for waste reduction and energy recovery. Along with these environmental problems can also be solved. With the help of economical technology, we can save the environment and the problem of inflation of petrol in our country can also be reduced to some extent.

Published: February 2023

The complexity of the effects of greenhouse gases and especially nitrogen emission on atmospheric aerosols and nitrogen deposition has been puzzling for decades. Moreover, their effects on public health and biodiversity have increased the notion of urgency for drastic reforms and, as a result, have increased the complexity of the debate. This paper focusses on the interaction between agricultural sources of N-consumption and emissions and other anthropogenic activities as well as on the role of N-deposition on plant physiology and biodiversity impairment. Finally, the urgency of farmland reforms is situated in a socio-economic and historical context.
Tetra-tert-butyl-s-indacene is a Bond Localized C2h Structure: Even More Bad News for B3LYP

Published: February 2023

Whether tetra-tert-butyl-s-indacene (TtB-s-indacene) is a symmetric D2h structure or a bond alternating C2h structure remains a standing puzzle. Agreement between 1H NMR data and computed proton chemical shifts based on minima structures optimized at the M06-2X, B97X-D, and M11 levels confirm a bond localized C2h symmetryconsistent with its antiaromaticity. X-ray structures and computed B3LYP geometries of D2h TtB-s-indacene poorly reproduce experimental NMR data. The limitations and complications of using B3LYP geometries for interpreting the structures and paratropicities of -expanded antiaromatic systems are discussed.
Topology-Controlled Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Block Copolymers
Authors: Lopez-Rios De Castro Raquel , Ziolek Robert , Lorenz Chris
Published: February 2023

Contemporary synthetic chemistry approaches can be used to yield a range of distinct polymer topologies with precise control. The topology of a polymer strongly influences its self-assembly into complex nanostructures however a clear mechanistic understanding of the relationship between polymer topology and self-assembly has not yet been developed. In this manuscript, we utilize classical all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of three different topologies (two triblock linear polymers and one ring polymer) of poly(ethylene oxide) - poly(methyl acrylate) block copolymers to provide a mechanistic understanding of the influence of topology in micelle size and stability. We find that the topology affects the ability of the micelle to form a compact hydrophobic core, which directly affects its stability. Also, we apply unsupervised machine learning techniques to show that the topology of a polymer affects its ability to take a conformation in response to the local environment within the micelles. This work provides foundations for the rational design of polymer nanostructures based on their underlying topology.
Overcoming a Solid Solution System on Chiral Resolution: Combining Thermodynamics of Crystallization and Kinetics of Enantioselective Dissolution
Authors: Oketani Ryusei , Shiohara Koki , Hisaki Ichiro
Published: February 2023

We have successfully performed chiral resolution of a key synthetic intermediate of ozanimod, rac-4-cyano-1-aminoindane, by combining crystallization and enantioselective dissolution. 4-Cyano-1-aminoindane forms a diastereomeric salt with di-p-toluoyl-L-tartaric acid, however the single crystallization gave moderate enantiomeric excess, which indicated the formation of solid solution. The formation of solid solution is typical trouble in chiral resolution, and the limitation of enrichment by the crystallization was indicated by the construction of binary and ternary phase diagrams. Thorough phase diagram study revealed the solid-state landscape of the diastereomeric salt and determined the condition for chiral resolution. Additionally, further enrichment was achieved by following enantioselective dissolution using the difference in dissolution rates of the diastereomeric pairs. This combination of crystallization and dissolution demonstrated chiral resolution of 4-cyano-1-aminoindane up to 96%, and proposed a new solution to the solid solution formation which is typical trouble of chiral resolution for the first time.

Published: February 2023

Four novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composed of 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)pyrene (TBAPy4-) or 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(4-carboxlatephenyl)benzene (TCPB4-) linkers with gallium (Ga) or vanadium (V) were synthesized in this work. 3D electron diffraction patterns combined with high-resolution electron microscopy images were employed to investigate the structure of these MOFs. All four MOFs were highly porous with specific Langmuir surface area ranging from ~900 to over ~1800 m2 g-1. The MOFs also showed high uptake of greenhouse gas and especially selective towards SF6 (110 cm3 cm-3, 293 K 1 bar) and CO2 over N2 (or CH4). Sorption kinetics were investigated in detail and the MOF with the highest gas uptake had pore channels with diameters of approx. 9.1 13.6 and 6.5 13.7 in dimension. These Ga- and V-MOFs are potentially interesting candidate sorbents for greenhouse gas capture and separation applications, especially for the separation of SF6 and CO2 from N2, which are relevant in the electronics and chemical industry, respectively.

Authors: De Alencar Patrick , Brasil Davi , Auzier Vitor , Homci Rodolfo , Bittencourt Kleber
Published: February 2023

This work studied the adsorption kinetics of methylene blue dye on low cost ceramic membranes with tailings characterized from the Bayer process. For this, flat circular membranes were made. The proportions used in the preparation were 35/65 and 50/50 (%, m/m), Red Mud (LV)/Clay (AGL), respectively. The specimens were calcined at three different temperatures (900 C, 950 C and 1000 C). The physical properties of the membranes studied were: Water Absorption (AA), Apparent Porosity (PA), Apparent Density (DA), Linear Shrinkage (RL) and Hydraulic Permeability, as a function of the influence of the sintering temperature in each composition variation. The experimental data of adsorption kinetics were analyzed using pseudo-first, pseudo-second order and Elovich models. From the range studied in the method, it is possible to confirm that the greatest response was using the 65A/35LV membrane at 950C. The study of the kinetic model showed that the model that comes closest to the experimental data is Elovich's.

The objective of this study was to construct a model of the link between sports resources and the model of national sports event management and the added value of Thailand's sports sector. Mixed methods were implemented in this study. The causative and result link between sports resource variables and national sporting practices and the added value of the Thai sports sector were examined using quantitative research. Using questionnaires and qualitative phenomenological research, data were obtained from 207 sports competition management organizations registered with the Department of Business Development in 2020. Based on in-depth interviews, a group discussion with the Council of Industry Committees was implemented to corroborate the results of the in-depth interviews. The sports industry group comprised of three individuals and two academics in sports business management who conducted a corroborative elemental analysis on the data. And structural equation models. The hypothesis research found that 1) sports resources had a direct effect on the value added of the sports industry and an indirect effect on the value added of the sports industry through the national sports competition management; 2) the sports resources had a direct effect on the national sports competition management; and 3) the national sports competition management had a direct effect on the added value of the sports industry in Thailand. The analysis revealed that the hypothetical model was consistent with the statistical data. It appeared to be qualified with χ2 = 47.85, p-value = 0.08, χ2/df = 1.55, GFI = 0.96, AGFI = 0.98, and RMSEA = 0.01.

Authors: Mavrogiorgou Argyro , Kiourtis Athanasios , Manias George , Symvoulidis Chrysostomos , Kyriazis Dimosthenis
Published: February 2023

The healthcare sector has been moving toward Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems that produce enormous amounts of healthcare data due to the increased emphasis on getting the appropriate information to the right person, wherever they are, at any time. This highlights the need for a holistic approach to ingest, exploit, and manage these huge amounts of data for achieving better health management and promotion in general. This manuscript proposes such an approach, providing a mechanism allowing all health ecosystem entities to obtain actionable knowledge from heterogeneous data in a multimodal way. The mechanism includes diverse techniques for automatically ingesting healthcare-related information from heterogeneous sources that produce batch/streaming data, managing, fusing, and aggregating this data into new data structures (i.e., Holistic Health Records (HHRs)). The latter enable the aggregation of data coming from different sources, such as Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices, online/offline platforms, while to effectively construct the HHRs, the mechanism develops various data management techniques covering the overall data path, from data acquisition and cleaning to data integration, modelling, and interpretation. The mechanism has been evaluated upon different healthcare scenarios, ranging from hospital-retrieved data to patient platforms, combined with data obtained from IoMT devices, having produced useful insights towards its successful and wide adaptation in this domain. In order to implement a paradigm shift from heterogeneous and independent data sources, limited data exploitation, and health records, the mechanism has combined multidisciplinary technologies toward HHRs. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-02-03 Full Text: PDF
“THE HOUSE OF DONN” AND OTHERWORLD ISLANDS IN IRISH TRADITION
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics RAN, Mikhailova Tatyana A.

In Irish Saga and Folklore Tradition there exist two types of tales telling us of magic islands housing the Other World (OW in the two meanings – OW as a world parallel to that existing on Earth and OW as a world after death). “Far-away islands” described in the focus of Christianized narrative are shown as a “promised land” which can be reached as a matter of chance or else through the supernatural help. The hero as a rule gets there while still alive and sometimes gets an opportunity to return. Islands of this type have no proper toponymical designations, instead they possess conventionally motivated names like The Land of Youth, The Land of Women, The Island of Apple-trees et al. Small islands (really existing off the Irish shores) are shown differently and presented as locoes of life after death. The article gives motivated reconstruction of the ways in which such tales come into being. 1. The correlation with Druids’ cult islands tradition (testified by archeology and classical data) as well as with neo-heathen practices of later periods. 2. The correlation with the tradition of leaving those accused of crimes on a small island as a kind of an execution. 3. The correlation with tales of vanishing islands (the projection of the region’s volcanic activity). Special attention is given to folklore tales of the so-called Donn’s House (Tech Duinn), an as it were existing island at the South-West of Ireland which is (1) described in the Middle Irish tradition as the burial site of Donn, one of Goidelic tribe’s ancestors killed in a battle for the island; (2) depicted in the folklore tradition as a kind of a “station” where the dead one’s soul, guided by his patron saint, has to expect the final direction for its last route. Separate attention is given to the tradition of contamination of Donn’s House and the magic hill which is at the same time the abode of Death as well as the home of Goddess Danu’s Tribe, and later of the fairies.

The article deals with the images of the war – one of the key concepts of the Don Cossacks’ world picture – in the historical song folklore. Military themes permeate most of the Cossacks historical songs. Along with the direct depiction of military actions and related phenomena and concepts, the songs contain allegorical, metaphorical descriptions of war – stable images associated with armed clashes. The author’s attention is focused on the last, as they show the deep interconnections of war with other basic concepts of the Cossack, and Russian in general, worldview. The representations of war, reflected in the songs, are closely related to the understanding of life and death, one’s own and others’ and the main occupations of the Cossacks. War is described allegorically through images of natural disasters, social relations, and labor activities, and appears as a phenomenon beyond human control, characterized as an alien, otherworldly space, and thereby partially intersects with the people’s understanding of death. Many of the described metaphors (army – cloud; battle – harvest, feast; enemies – guests) were characteristic of all-Russian folk art from the earliest period, which shows the continuity of the Cossack folklore tradition with the Russian one
AZYREN, KIYAMAT, SOULS OF THE DEAD PEOPLE. THE PERSONIFICATION OF DEATH IN THE MARI MYTHOLOGICAL CULTURE
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Ustyantsev Herman Yu.
Published: February 2023

The article, based on the author’s field materials and the analysis of ethnographic literature, describes the features of several Mari folklore characters, who are associated with plots about death and the “wires” of the deceased. This character category includes the “angel of death” Azyren (Azreni), the deity of the “afterlife” Kiyamat and the spirits of deceased people. These characters have the function of “guides” to the “afterlife” and harbingers of death. One of the hypostases of Kiyamata – the god Kiyamat-tyura, appears in folklore as the patron saint of the deads. Another hypostasis is Kiyamat-savush. He performs the role of seeing off to “the next world”. Some of these mythological characters are presented in narratives abstractly, the others are visualized more detailed. Azyren and the “deads”, as a rule, are heroes of non-fabulous prose (legends, epics and fairy tales), they are not considered to be the objects of worship. The image of Kiyamat, on the contrary, is sacred, and some traditions of the memorial ritual are associated with him. Kiyamat (kiyamats) is revered during the ceremonies devoted to a deceased person. The image of Azyren has demonic essence. He is believed to be the “evil spirits” and he scares alive people. Despite the semantic association between the spirits of death and the chthonic world, they do not perform the function of intimidation as other demons do. Their role in the folklore is to take away the soul of the deceased without violating the natural boundaries between the worlds. The article includes historiographical descriptions of these characters, etymological and comparative data, fragments of interviews

This study aims to determine the effect of various citrus fruit juices on the qualities of sliced sapodilla jam. Completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and four replications. A (2% citric acid) served as the control, B (26% lime juice), C (26% lemon juice), and D (26% kaffir lime juice) were the treatments. The data were statistically examined using ANOVA and Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at the 5% significance level. The addition of citrus fruit juice had a substantial influence on the jam's folding test, total titrated acid, pH value, water content, ash content, total dissolved solids, total sugar, crude fiber, and vitamin C did not affect its water activity. According to the chemical features, the addition of lime juice as a source of citric acid resembles the characteristics of sheet jam made with pure citric acid more closely.

Authors: Asimbaya Alvarado Danny , Maria Dolores Nieto
Published: February 2023

Introducción: La anemia falciforme es la hemoglobinopatía estructural más frecuente en todo el mundo y es causada por la producción de hemoglobina S (HbS) a consecuencia de una mutación puntual en el gen de la beta globina.
Objetivo: Mostrar los beneficios del recambio de glóbulos rojos por aféresis en la presentación del síndrome torácico agudo, causado por la anemia drepanocítica.
Presentación del caso: Se describe el manejo de una paciente de trece años de edad, con anemia drepanocítica que, al momento de su ingreso al hospital, presentó crisis vaso- oclusiva secundaria a su patología de base. Al segundo día presentó síndrome de tórax agudo, por lo que se solicitó al Servicio de Medicina Transfusional, el recambio eritrocitario.  Analizado el caso, se realizó el cálculo de la volemia total de la paciente, se prepararon concentrados de glóbulos rojos (CGRs) compatibles con la paciente: se filtraron; y se les cuantificó el hematocrito. El procedimiento se realizó con el equipo de aféresis COM.TEC. en el que se recambió 1.200 mililitros de eritrocitos totales.
Discusión: El recambio eritrocitario por aféresis aportó una notable y visible mejoría clínica y laboratorial. Por lo que en nuestra experiencia consideramos que el procedimiento fue eficiente.
Conclusiones: El recambio de eritrocitos por aféresis en el síndrome torácico agudo en crisis drepanocítica es un procedimiento que se puede utilizar en pacientes que no responden a otras terapias por su mínima alteración de la viscosidad y volumen sanguíneo en el paciente, y disminuir la concentración de hemoglobina S.
Palabras clave: Eritroféresis, síndrome torácico agudo, drepanocitosis.

Risk-Based Business License and Problems Arising After The Job Creation ACT
Authors: Hariyanto Hariyanto
Published: February 2023

The emergence of the Job Creation Act, one of the aims of creating employment opportunities. In general, the administrative licensing process in Indonesia is a barrier to business transformation. Many licensing processes do not have clear protocols, demanding, lack transparency, and costly. So that the fundamental transformation in the Job Creation Law is the transformation of the business licensing paradigm in Indonesia. Switch from the traditional license-based licensing approach to risk-based licensing. This research aims to reveal how risk-based licensing actually is and what problems can arise in licensing when risk-based licensing is applied. This is a doctrinal study that takes a conceptual and legal approach. The analysis is in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The data and materials collected were analyzed qualitatively and described by descriptive analysis. This paper concludes that risk-based licensing relies more on a thorough risk analysis. In the implementation of risk-based licensing, the regulator assesses several factors such as business activities, business performance history, and the risk management system in place. Based on these matters, the regulator then places business actors into several groups, according to the level of risk. Risk-based licensing, on the other hand, has a couple of problems. The first issue is ambiguous risk assessment as a result of the omnibus legislative format. Second, the volatile risk hasnâ€™t been taken into account. Third, neither cumulative nor systemic risks have been taken into account. Fourth, there are unanticipated implementation challenges. Finally, there is the possibility of regulatory capture.
