Authors: ЯНОВСЬКА Вікторія
Published: September 2020

Стрімкий розвиток і активне поширення цифрових технологій створюють нові можливості продукування матеріальних благ і поліпшення якості життя та сприяють підвищенню ефективності й конкурентоспроможності компаній, галузей, регіонів, країн у цілому. Одночасно їх нерівномірне запровадження і використання породжують локальні та глобальні цифрові розриви. У контексті системи «економіка –– суспільство» цифрова нерівність стає динамічною загрозою, усунення якої вимагає подолання інфраструктурних обмежень і забезпечення якісних цифрових трансформацій.Визначено національні особливості та перспективи цифровізації України як платформи розвитку національної економіки, для чого встановлено закономірності прояву процесу цифровізації та швидкості поширення Інтернету, надано кількісну характеристику стану і визначено тенденції розвитку цифрової інфраструктури України, виконано міжнародні порівняння за показником «цифрового» населення.Результати дослідження показують, що в Україні головними трендами розвитку ринку телекомунікаційних послуг є зміна споживчих переваг, трансформація ринку, індивідуалізація споживання, цифровізація ринкових сегментів і населення, формування широкосмугової моделі споживання та бездротового середовища. Залежно від зміни масштабів покриття, інтенсивності процесів цифровізації та швидкості поширення Всесвітньої мережі в цілому та серед приватних користувачів виокремлено три періоди поширення Інтернету: період повільної цифровізації, період стрімкого розповсюдження, період уповільнення темпів розбудови ринкового сегмента. Подальші порівняння засвідчили, що зростання двох останніх періодів дозволило подолати цифровий розрив «Україна –– світ» і наблизити відносні оцінки «цифрового» населення України до відносних оцінок глобального «цифрового» населення. Окреслено дворічні перспективи подолання Україною цифрового розриву з ЄС при збереженні експоненціальних тенденцій розвитку цифрової інфраструктури, що вимагає запровадження активної державної та регіональної політики з підтримки та реалізації проєктів цифрових трансформацій. Уповільнення швидкості розвитку цифрової інфраструктури зумовить подовження періоду усунення цього цифрового розриву.

Published: September 2020

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of carbonated beverage on the surface microhardness of two acrylic materials used to fabricate temporary restorations. The study was experimental in vitro. Forty blocks of acrylic resins used in provisional restorations were made, 20 from Alike® (GC AMERICA INC., Lot 1712161) and 20 from Acryptemp® (Zhermack S.P.A., Lot 302334). After that, the blocks were immersed in distilled water for 24 hours. After this time, the initial surface microhardness was measured. Then the 20 samples of the experimental group were immersed in a carbonated drink (coca cola - soda) for 12 minutes per day, for 5 days. Finally, the final surface microhardness was measured using the Vickers microdurometer. Measures of central tendency and dispersion were used, and the Student's t test and ANOVA were performed. A mean surface microhardness of 8.8 and 7.2HV was found for the PMMA resin group (Initial and final respectively), and 9.5 and 8HV for the bisacrylate group. Statistically significant differences were found when comparing the beginning and end of each group and when comparing the two materials. The acrylic resin of polymethylmethacrylate (Alike® GC AMERICA INC.) Presented higher surface microhardness compared to the bis acrylic resin (Acrytemp® Zhermack S.P.A), after being exposed to a carbonated drink.

Status Akta Notaris yang dibuat oleh Notaris yang Merangkap Jabatan Sebagai Advokat
Authors: Ragil Kusnaning Rini  , Siti Romlah
Published: September 2020

Notary deed as an authentic deed is often used as a means of proof in a trial, because it is the most powerful and perfect. Considering the importance of a notarial deed as a means of proof, the making of a notary deed must be done properly and carefully. The phenomenon of notary that doubles the position as an advocate of course also affects the authentic deed that was made by the notary.

A notary who concurrently serves as an advocate is considered to violate the provisions in the Act, so that the notary becomes unauthorized and no longer has power in making a notarial deed. That a deed which is due to the inability of the employee / official who made it or because of a defect in its form, then the deed cannot be treated as an authentic deed, and only has power as a deed under the hand if it is signed by the parties and is no longer has the power of proof that is perfect. For that, those who feel aggrieved can file a lawsuit and claim for compensation to the notary. And for violations of dual positions committed, if it is proven that the notary may also be subject to sanctions.
Credibility and the design of regulatory agencies in Brazil
Authors: Mueller Bernardo , Pereira Carlos
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT In this paper we model the process of regulatory agency design, focusing on the role of credibility. The government is constrained in the sense that it must create regulatory institutions that allow it to commit to not administratively expropriate investors. The model explains both the preference of the agency head chosen by the government as well as the optimal level of statutory control. We argue that in Brazil this trade-off between credibility and control of the agencies is key to understanding the specific regulatory institutions that have been chosen. Comparative static results are derived to examine how changes in some key variables affect the design of the agencies, providing us with a set of hypotheses for comparing the design of five different agencies created to regulate industries with very different characteristics. Although these agencies were initially created under very similar designs, they are expected to evolve in ways that accord with our theory.
Risco-Brasil: O Efeito-Lula e os Efeitos-Banco Central
Authors: CIRNE DE TOLEDO JOAQUIM ELÓI
Published: September 2020

RESUMO Este breve artigo discute o comportamento do spread de risco soberano no Brasil desde a adoção de um regime de taxa de câmbio flutuante no início de 99. Os dados apresentados parecem apoiar a hipótese de efeitos perversos da política monetária doméstica sobre o risco-país. Por outro lado, os temores de uma inadimplência futura da dívida - provocada por pesquisas de eleição presidencial voláteis - parecem não explicar uma parte significativa do spread de risco, até muito recentemente. O autor está totalmente ciente da existência de uma literatura rica e crescente sobre o risco-país. Este artigo não é uma tentativa de adicionar novas peças de teoria ou evidência analítica rigorosa a essa literatura; seu único objetivo é dar uma pequena contribuição ao debate, apontando alguns fatores geralmente negligenciados que podem explicar o spread de risco soberano do Brasil.

Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT Sweet bread is associated with smooth texture and high carbohydrate content, tasty and filling - quality that makes it preferred for snack. The key is in formulating raw material and other components. Commonly, sweet bread has short shelf life. Frozen dough could be the solution to this problem, and glucomannan addition during freezing process should be able to improve its physicochemical characteristics. This research aims to determine the effect of adding modified arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea L.) starch (MAS) as substitution, and glucomannan as frozen dough cryoprotectant toward sweet bread’s physicochemical. Randomized Complete Block Design Factorial (RCBD) was applied, and two factors were studied. The first factor was modified arrowroot starch (0.00%, 3.75%, and 7.50%) and the second was glucomannan (0.0%, 0.5%, and 1.0%). The best result was combination between MAS 3.75% and glucomannan 0.5%, reaching dough expansion volume range of 50% to 60%, bread expansion volume range of 77% to 80%, hardness range of 2 N mm-2 to 3 N mm-2, elasticity range of 88% to 96%, moisture content of 16% to 19%, ash content of 1.4% to 1.7%, fat content of 10% to 15%, protein content of 5%, and carbohydrate content of 51% to 66%. MAS is able to substitute wheat flour in bread production only if it is combined with glucomannan.

Abstract: This work is the most comprehensive survey of the Laranjinha River´s fishes, a tributary of the Cinzas River, Paranapanema River basin. Throughout its course, there is only a low-height dam, including a transposition system located 98 km from its mouth. The sampling was carried out in nine locations, from the source to the mouth, with six field incursions in each location, using different fishing gear. A total of 11,924 fish were collected, distributed in seven orders, 27 families, and 100 species. The most representative order in the number of species was Siluriformes, followed by Characiformes. As for the families, Loricariidae comprised 21% and Characidae 14% of species richness. Phalloceros harpagos was the species with the highest absolute abundance, representing 11.3% of the total, followed by Hypostomus ancistroides with 9.8%. However, considering the average abundance and frequency of occurrence, Hypostomus ancistroides was the most abundant species, followed by Hypostomus cf. paulinus, Psalidodon aff. paranae and Phalloceros harpagos. Among the collected species, the Apteronotus acidops, Brycon orbygnianus, Brycon nattereri, Crenicichla jupiaensis, and Rhinelepis aspera were classified as endangered on the most recent IUCN Red List. Also, from the total sampled fish, 9.8% are considered non-native species. Among the native species recorded, 10 species are large migratory species, which indicates that the Laranjinha River is a route for spawning and maintenance of species diversity in the middle Paranapanema River. Therefore, the Laranjinha River is a heritage of fish diversity and deserves special attention in its preservation.
Ações do Governo Federal no combate à coronacrise: limites, insuficiências e escassos acertos
Authors: Cotrim Junior Dorival Fagundes , Cabral Lucas Manoel da Silva
Published: September 2020

Resumo O artigo analisa as ações do Governo Federal no contexto do combate à Covid-19, estabelecendo seus limites, insuficiências e mesmo os escassos acertos, conforme dados disponíveis até o momento, haja vista o fato de a Emenda Constitucional (EC) nº 106/2020 ter sido recentemente publicada, impossibilitando uma análise real de seus efeitos, razão pela qual se avaliaram seus institutos e possíveis reflexos. Dentre as medidas consideradas estão: Lei nº 13.979/2020, Medida Provisória (MP) nº 924/2020; Portaria nº 395/2020; Plano do Ministério da Economia de R$ 147,3 bilhões; MP nº 296/2020; Decreto nº 10.283/2020; e a EC nº 106/2020. Utiliza-se metodologia de abordagem dedutiva e de inferência, no campo teórico, com métodos de procedimento histórico e legal. Por fim, uma série de conclusões são extraídas, são elas: a continuidade do vínculo entre o Governo Federal e a racionalidade neoliberal, que é parte da sua plataforma política, mesmo quando se analisa a EC nº 106/2020; a necessidade de revogação da EC nº 95/2016, para que se tenha maior margem de atuação na contenção dos danos; e a aferição de que a maior parcela dos recursos injetados pelo Governo Federal neste combate não constituem créditos novos e sim remanejamento e antecipação de valores futuros já previstos, diferindo das posturas estatais internacionais.
Scaling‐Up Data‐Driven Pilot Projects
Authors: Berndtsson Mikael , Ericsson AnnMarie , Svahn Thomas
Published: September 2020

Conducting pilot projects are a common approach among organizations to test and evaluate new technology. A pilot project is often conducted to remove uncertainties from a large‐scale project and should be limited in time and scope. Nowadays, several organizations are testing and evaluating artificial intelligence techniques and more advanced forms of analytics via pilot projects. Unfortunately, many organizations are experiencing problems in scaling‐up the findings from pilot projects to the rest of the organization. Hence, results from pilot projects become siloed with limited business value. In this article, we present an overview of barriers for conducting and scaling‐up data‐driven pilot projects. Lack of senior management support is a frequently mentioned top barrier in the literature. In response to this, we present our recommendations on what type of activities can be performed, to increase the chances of getting a positive response from senior management regarding scaling‐up the usage of artificial intelligence and advanced analytics within an organization.
Large‐Scale Personalized Categorization of Financial Transactions
Authors: Lesner Christopher , Ran Alexander , Wang Wei , Rukonic Marko
Published: September 2020

A major part of financial accounting involves organizing business transactions using a customizable filing system that accountants call a “chart of accounts.” This task must be carried out for every financial transaction, and hence automation is of significant value to the users of accounting software. In this article we present a large‐scale recommendation system used by millions of small businesses in the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, India, and France to organize billions of financial transactions each year. The system uses machine learning to combine fragments of information from millions of users in a manner that allows us to accurately recommend chart‐of‐accounts categories even when users have created their own or named them using abbreviations or in foreign languages. Transactions are handled even if a given user has never categorized a transaction like that before. The development of such a system and testing it at scale over billions of transactions is a first in the financial industry.
Improving the Accuracy and Transparency of Underwriting with Artificial Intelligence to Transform the Life‐Insurance Industry
Authors: Maier Marc , Carlotto Hayley , Saperstein Sara , Sanchez Freddie , Balogun Sherriff , Merritt Sears
Published: September 2020

Life insurance provides trillions of dollars of financial security for hundreds of millions of individuals and families worldwide. To simultaneously offer affordable products while managing this financial ecosystem, life‐insurance companies use an underwriting process to assess the mortality risk posed by individual applicants. Traditional underwriting is largely based on examining an applicant's health and behavioral profile. This manual process is incompatible with expectations of a rapid customer experience through digital capabilities. Fortunately, the availability of large historical data sets and the emergence of new data sources provide an unprecedented opportunity for artificial intelligence to transform underwriting in the life‐insurance industry with standard measures of mortality risk. We combined one of the largest application data sets in the industry with a responsible artificial intelligence framework to develop a mortality model and life score. We describe how the life score serves as the primary risk‐driving engine of deployed algorithmic underwriting systems and demonstrate its high level of accuracy, yielding a nine‐percent reduction in claims within the healthiest pool of applicants. Additionally, we argue that, by embracing transparency, the industry can build consumer trust and respond to a dynamic regulatory environment focused on algorithmic decision‐making. We present a consumer‐facing tool that uses a state‐of‐the‐art method for interpretable machine learning to offer transparency into the life score.

Authors: Machado Alba Jorge , E Machado Duque Manuel , Gaviria Mendoza Andres
Published: September 2020

Introduction. Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world and is associated with dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, and other factors. Objective. To determine the clinical effectiveness on the lipid profile of the rosuvastatin+fenofibric acid combination in Colombian patients with high cardiovascular risk and mixed dyslipidemia. Methods. Longitudinal observational study in a random sample of patients with a diagnosis of mixed dyslipidemia and moderate, high, or very high cardiovascular risk who were treated with rosuvastatin+fenofibric acid. Anthropometric, clinical, laboratory, comorbidity, and pharmacological variables were identified, and cardiovascular risk was estimated. Effectiveness on the lipid profile was determined. Results. A total of 386 patients were analyzed. They had a mean age of 60.8±11.4 years, 53.1% were female, and 75.6% had high/very high cardiovascular risk. The initial evaluation showed a mean LDL cholesterol of 138.4±67.1 mg/dL and triglycerides of 679.7±573.6 mg/dL. At the end of follow-up, mean LDL cholesterol was 87.5±41.2 mg/dL (reduced by 43.3%; p<0.001), and triglycerides were 243.5±170.5 mg/dL (reduced by 64.2%; p<0.001). Only 35.4% (n=73) of patients with very high risk reached the goal of metabolic control, compared to 61.6% (n = 53) with high risk and 55.4% (n=46) with moderate risk. Belonging to the very high-risk group was associated with a lower probability of achieving the control goal (OR:0.32; 95%CI:0.192-0.539). Conclusions. The combination of rosuvastatin+fenofibric acid is an effective option in patients with mixed dyslipidemia and high cardiovascular risk, providing a therapeutic alternative for those conditions that require it.

Authors: BAYINDIRLI Cihan , ÇELİK Mehmet
Published: September 2020

This paper focuses on determining of windshield inclination angle to aerodynamic drag coefficient for a 1/64 scaled bus model by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The bus models were designed by using SolidWorks program in 4 different windshield inclination angle (α=0˚, α=15˚, α=30˚, α=45˚). Flow analysis were performed at 15 m/s, 20 m/s, 25 m/s and 30 m/s free flow velocities and between the range of 173000-346000 Reynolds numbers in Fluent® program. To provide geometric similarity 1/64 scaled licensed model bus was used in order to obtain drawing datas. The blockage rate was 3.39% for the kinematic similarity. Reynolds number independence was used to ensure dynamic similarity in study. The effect of windshield inclination angle to drag coefficient was determined by CFD method. The aerodynamic drag coefficients (CD) of the bus models were determined as 0.759 for model 1, 0.731 for model 2, 0.683 for model 3 and 0.623 for model 4. There are 17.92%, 14.84% and 8.76% drag reduction in model 4 which has α=45˚ windshield inclination angle when compared model 1 (α=0˚), model 2 (α=15˚) and model 3 (α=30˚) respectively. 0.4% drag reduction was obtained by increasing every 1 degree of windshield angle. The windshield inclination angle considerably affects drag forces on buses. The distribution of total drag was determined as pressure-friction based. The flow visualizations were obtained and flow structure around of bus models was detected.

Published: September 2020

A healthy smile is one of the main components of a person’s attractiveness, which makes it possible to improve the quality of communication with others in a personal and social aspect. Dental health depends on the state of the periodontal complex. The vast majority of people of different ages suffer from periodontal disease and seek dental care. The significant prevalence, the adverse effect of foci of periodontal infection on the body, the large loss of teeth cause both medical and social significance of this problem. In this regard, the tasks for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues are determined before the dentist. The treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis is a complex and lengthy process that requires a comprehensive approach from the dentist, finding new remedies and methods of treatment. The article presents the results of the treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity using the drug “Galavit”. After the course of treatment, the index indicators reflected the achievement of positive dynamics. The content of the total aerobic and anaerobic microflora of the periodontal pockets was eliminated 1.5 - 2 times. In the comparison group in the dynamics of treatment to the end of therapy, there was a decrease in the number of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms to etiologically significant indicators. The results of the study indicate the superiority of the use of complex therapeutic measures with the use of the drug “Galavit” over the traditional treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity. It is proposed for practicing dentists to use the drug in question in a complex scheme for the treatment of periodontal tissue diseases, since this drug has shown its high clinical efficacy.
