A model of the euro-area yield curve with discrete policy rates
Authors: Renne Jean-Paul
Published: May 2016

This paper presents a no-arbitrage yield-curve model that explicitly incorporates the central-bank policy rate. This model is consistent with the existence of a lower bound for nominal interest rates, which makes it particularly relevant in the current context of extremely low interest rates. Changes in the policy rates depend on the monetary-policy phase, that can be either in an easing, status quo or tightening mode. The estimation of the model, based on daily euro-area yield data, reveals the strong influence of the monetary-policy phases on the shape of the yield curve. This relationship can, in turn, be exploited to estimate the probabilities of being in the different monetary-policy phases. The model is also used to compute term premiums, that are the parts of the yields reflecting the aversion of investors to interest rate risk. The results point to the existence of statistically significant premiums for many dates, even for short horizons.
Visual Deprivation During the Critical Period Enhances Layer 2/3 GABAergic Inhibition in Mouse V1
Authors: Kannan Madhuvanthi , Gross Garrett G. , Arnold Don B. , Higley Michael J.
Published: June 2016

The role of GABAergic signaling in establishing a critical period for experience in visual cortex is well understood. However, the effects of early experience on GABAergic synapses themselves are less clear. Here, we show that monocular deprivation (MD) during the adolescent critical period produces marked enhancement of GABAergic signaling in layer 2/3 of mouse monocular visual cortex. This enhancement coincides with a weakening of glutamatergic inputs, resulting in a significant reduction in the ratio of excitation to inhibition. The potentiation of GABAergic transmission arises from both an increased number of inhibitory synapses and an enhancement of presynaptic GABA release from parvalbumin- and somatostatin-expressing interneurons. Our results suggest that augmented GABAergic inhibition contributes to the experience-dependent regulation of visual function.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTVisual experience shapes the synaptic organization of cortical circuits in the mouse brain. Here, we show that monocular visual deprivation enhances GABAergic synaptic inhibition in primary visual cortex. This enhancement is mediated by an increase in both the number of postsynaptic GABAergic synapses and the probability of presynaptic GABA release. Our results suggest a contributing mechanism to altered visual responses after deprivation.

Published: June 2016

The “dorsal attention network” or “frontoparietal network” refers to a network of cortical regions that support sustained attention and working memory. Recent work has demonstrated that cortical nodes of the dorsal attention network possess intrinsic functional connections with a region in ventral cerebellum, in the vicinity of lobules VII/VIII. Here, we performed a series of task-based and resting-state fMRI experiments to investigate cerebellar participation in the dorsal attention network in humans. We observed that visual working memory and visual attention tasks robustly recruit cerebellar lobules VIIb and VIIIa, in addition to canonical cortical dorsal attention network regions. Across the cerebellum, resting-state functional connectivity with the cortical dorsal attention network strongly predicted the level of activation produced by attention and working memory tasks. Critically, cerebellar voxels that were most strongly connected with the dorsal attention network selectively exhibited load-dependent activity, a hallmark of the neural structures that support visual working memory. Finally, we examined intrinsic functional connectivity between task-responsive portions of cerebellar lobules VIIb/VIIIa and cortex. Cerebellum-to-cortex functional connectivity strongly predicted the pattern of cortical activation during task performance. Moreover, resting-state connectivity patterns revealed that cerebellar lobules VIIb/VIIIa group with cortical nodes of the dorsal attention network. This evidence leads us to conclude that the conceptualization of the dorsal attention network should be expanded to include cerebellar lobules VIIb/VIIIa.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe functional participation of cerebellar structures in nonmotor cortical networks remains poorly understood and is highly understudied, despite the fact that the cerebellum possesses many more neurons than the cerebral cortex. Although visual attention paradigms have been reported to activate cerebellum, many researchers have largely dismissed the possibility of a cerebellar contribution to attention in favor of a motor explanation, namely, eye movements. The present study demonstrates that a cerebellar subdivision (mainly lobules VIIb/VIIIa), which exhibits strong intrinsic functional connectivity with the cortical dorsal attention network, also closely mirrors a myriad of cortical dorsal attention network responses to visual attention and working memory tasks. This evidence strongly supports a reconceptualization of the dorsal attention network to include cerebellar lobules VIIb/VIIIa.

Published: June 2016

Dopaminergic neurons that project from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) fire in response to unpredicted rewards or to cues that predict reward delivery. Although it is well established that reward-related events elicit dopamine release in the NAc, the role of rapid dopamine signaling in modulating NAc neurons that respond to these events remains unclear. Here, we examined dopamine's actions in the NAc in the rat brain during an intracranial self-stimulation task in which a cue predicted lever availability for electrical stimulation of the VTA. To distinguish actions of dopamine at select receptors on NAc neurons during the task, we used a multimodal sensor that probes three aspects of neuronal communication simultaneously: neurotransmitter release, cell firing, and identification of dopamine receptor type. Consistent with prior studies, we first show dopamine release events in the NAc both at cue presentation and after lever press (LP). Distinct populations of NAc neurons encode these behavioral events at these same locations selectively. Using our multimodal sensor, we found that dopamine-mediated responses after the cue involve exclusively a subset of D2-like receptors (D2Rs), whereas dopamine-mediated responses proximal to the LP are mediated by both D1-like receptors (D1R) and D2Rs. These results demonstrate for the first time that dopamine-mediated responses after cues that predict reward availability are specifically linked to its actions at a subset of neurons in the NAc containing D2Rs.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTSuccessful reward procurement typically involves the completion of a goal-directed behavior in response to appropriate environmental cues. Although numerous studies link the mesolimbic dopamine system with these processes, how dopamine's effects are mediated on the receptor level within a key neural substrate, the nucleus accumbens, remains elusive. Here, we used a unique multimodal sensor that reveals three aspects of neuronal interactions: neurotransmitter release, cell firing, and dopamine-receptor type. We identified a key role of D2-like receptor (D2R)-expressing neurons in response to a reward-predicting cue, whereas both the D2R and D1R types modulate responses of neurons proximal to the goal-directed action. This work provides novel insight into the unique role of D2R-mediated neuronal activity to reward-associated cues, a fundamental aspect of motivated behaviors.
Disruption of Fixation Reveals Latent Sensorimotor Processes in the Superior Colliculus
Authors: Jagadisan Uday K. , Gandhi Neeraj J.
Published: June 2016

Executive control of voluntary movements is a hallmark of the mammalian brain. In the gaze-control network, this function is thought to be mediated by a critical balance between neurons responsible for generating movements and those responsible for fixating or suppressing movements, but the nature of this balance between the relevant elements—saccade-generating and fixation-related neurons—remains unclear. Specifically, it has been debated whether the two functions are necessarily coupled (i.e., push-and-pull) or independently controlled. Here we show that behavioral perturbation of ongoing fixation with the trigeminal blink reflex in monkeys (Macaca mulatta) alters the effective balance between fixation and saccade-generating neurons in the superior colliculus (SC) and can lead to premature gaze shifts reminiscent of compromised inhibitory control. The shift in balance is primarily driven by an increase in the activity of visuomovement neurons in the caudal SC, and the extent to which fixation-related neurons in the rostral SC play a role seems to be linked to the animal's propensity to make microsaccades. The perturbation also reveals a hitherto unknown feature of sensorimotor integration: the presence of a hidden visual response in canonical movement neurons. These findings offer new insights into the latent functional interactions, or lack thereof, between components of the gaze-control network, suggesting that the perturbation technique used here may prove to be a useful tool for probing the neural mechanisms of movement generation in executive function and dysfunction.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTEye movements are an integral part of how we explore the environment. Although we know a great deal about where sensorimotor transformations leading to saccadic eye movements are implemented in the brain, less is known about the functional interactions between neurons that maintain gaze fixation and neurons that program saccades. In this study, we used a novel approach to study these interactions. By transient disruption of fixation, we found that activity of saccade-generating neurons can increase independently of modulation in fixation-related neurons, which may occasionally lead to premature movements mimicking lack of impulse control. Our findings support the notion of a common pathway for sensory and movement processing and suggest that impulsive movements arise when sensory processes become “motorized.”
Sentential Negation Might Share Neurophysiological Mechanisms with Action Inhibition. Evidence from Frontal Theta Rhythm

Published: June 2016

According to the literature, negations such as “not” or “don't” reduce the accessibility in memory of the concepts under their scope. Moreover, negations applied to action contents (e.g., “don't write the letter”) impede the activation of motor processes in the brain, inducing “disembodied” representations. These facts provide important information on the behavioral and neural consequences of negations. However, how negations themselves are processed in the brain is still poorly understood. In two electrophysiological experiments, we explored whether sentential negation shares neural mechanisms with action monitoring or inhibition. Human participants read action-related sentences in affirmative or negative form (“now you will cut the bread” vs “now you will not cut the bread”) while performing a simultaneous Go/NoGo task. The analysis of the EEG rhythms revealed that theta oscillations were significantly reduced for NoGo trials in the context of negative sentences compared with affirmative sentences. Given the fact that theta oscillations are often considered as neural markers of response inhibition processes, their modulation by negative sentences strongly suggests that negation uses neural resources of response inhibition. We propose a new approach that views the syntactic operator of negation as relying on the neural machinery of high-order action-monitoring processes.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTPrevious studies have shown that linguistic negation reduces the accessibility of the negated concepts and suppresses the activation of specific brain regions that operate in affirmative statements. Although these studies focus on the consequences of negation on cognitive and neural processes, the proper neural mechanisms of negation have not yet been explored. In the present EEG study, we tested the hypothesis that negation uses the neural network of action inhibition. Using a Go/NoGo task embedded in a sentence comprehension task, we found that negation in the context of NoGo trials modulates frontal theta rhythm, which is usually considered a signature of action inhibition and control mechanisms.

Published: May 2016

Históricamente se han presentado eventos naturales intensos y adversos, como ciclones tropicales e incendios forestales, que han propiciado variaciones importantes en la cobertura de vegetación natural. Además, en las últimas décadas las actividades humanas se han convertido en el principal desencadenador de la transformación de los ecosistemas, modificándolos o destruyéndolos con el fin de desarrollo de actividades económicas desmedidas con respecto a la capacidad de los sistemas y recursos naturales. Esto se ha intensificado en los últimos años en la región de Bahía de Banderas, la cual aumenta su vulnerabilidad ante fenómenos naturales intensos. Para realizar un análisis de series de tiempo y observar el cambio de cobertura de vegetación en la zona de estudio, se realizó una clasificación supervisada mediante el uso de un Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG). En el cual se identificaron las superficies de vegetación en 3 municipios costeros (Bahía de Banderas, Nay.; Puerto Vallarta y Cabo Corrientes, Jal.), las cuales se compararon con las reportadas en el Inventario Forestal Nacional 2003. Se obtuvieron 3 coberturas vegetales: Selva Baja Caducifolia, Selva Mediana Caducifolia y Zonas de Bosques; más 2 usos de suelo: Suelos Urbanos y Zonas Agrícolas. En los resultados se observa que existe un proceso de cambio y reposición de coberturas y usos del suelo, en donde el mayor crecimiento se está dando en los usos relacionados con agricultura, incluyendo procesos dinámicos como la conversión a vegetación secundaria, a expensas de las áreas de bosques y selvas, observándose la mayor tasa de deforestación en fechas recientes.

The development of the renewable energy sector is one of the top priorities for the Polish government. In accordance with Directive 2009/28/EC, EU member states should increase their energy from renewable sources as a share of total energy consumption. The specific objective for Polish energy policy is to grow energy from renewable sources to comprise 15.5% of total energy production in 2020 (19.3% for the electricity sector, 17% for the heating and cooling sector, and 10.2% for the transport fuels sector). The main objective of this research is to assess the dynamics of the share of energy from renewable sources in particular sectors, including the electricity, heating, cooling and transport fuels sectors. The article ranks countries according to their share of energy from renewable sources in production and to the gross domestic product. It then compared the linear orderings. The purpose of this analysis is to test the hypothesis that the rank of EU countries in terms of their share of renewable energy in overall energy consumption did not change significantly in the years 2005–2013. Finally, it presents the results of the analysis of the relationship between the share of renewable energy in individual sectors. The countries are grouped according to their share of renewable energy in individual sectors.

Understanding the Limitations to the Right to Strike in Essential and Public Services in the SADC Region
Authors: Le Roux Rochelle , Cohen Tamara
Published: May 2016

The nature of the limitations to the right to strike in essential and public services in the nine sub-regional countries of Southern Africa – South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Swaziland, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe – is examined in this contribution. While all of these countries share common influences and face common challenges, there appears to be a vast disparity in the approaches taken to the right to strike in public and essential services in the region. A brief overview of the demographics and labour markets in the countries under discussion is sketched, the salient features of the ILO's approach to strike in essential and public services is highlighted, and a broad overview of the contrasting and disparate approaches to essential and public services in the region is provided. The focus is, however, on the legislative approach taken to essential service employees in South Africa. It is concluded that – with the exception of South Africa and Namibia – the limitations to the right to strike of public sector employees exceed those endorsed by international conventions, and the broad definition of essential services generally relied upon effectively results in an outright ban of public sector strikes in the sub-region.

Published: May 2016

Accurate diagnosis of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy has substantial prognostic implications in an intensive care unit, given its increased mortality risk and association with life-threatening complications. This report seeks to discuss diagnostic modalities that can be useful in accurately differentiating Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy from Acute Coronary Syndrome, and also briefly discuss prevention and management of this cardiomyopathy in an intensive care unit. For severely critically ill Takotsubo patients with relative contraindications to angiography, intensive clinicians can consider establishing presumptive diagnosis noninvasively by specific electrocardiogram changes, distinctive marked release of cardiac enzymes, characteristic echocardiogram findings, and accurate cardiac magnetic imaging.

Interstellar medium consists of gas and dust, even no part of galaxy is completely empty and interstellar dust is most crucial constituent of our Galaxy. ISM has extremely low density, 90% of it contains gas mainly atomic or molecular hydrogen, 9% is helium, and the remaining 1% consists of heavier elements. The spectroscopic observations both in absorption and emission in ISM, along with laboratory studies of sample materials, have increased interest in the study of organic molecules in ISM. Dust grains in ISM absorb and emit energy in the microwave and far-IR part of the spectrum. Here we are presenting the comparison between computed and observed rotational constant for interstellar organic molecules like CN, CO, HCN, OCS and so many other identified interstellar molecules.

Construction and rescue of knowledge about agroecology through intervention methodologies in the educational process

Abstract: In pursuit of sustainable development, Agroecology is a science to articulate all the resources in the environment. But many are still unaware of the same, which is extremely important dissemination through pedagogical concepts. Thus, the aim of this study was to articulate the dialogue of knowledge and practices with high school students on the theme "sustainability and local development." The work was carried out with public school students (State School Professor Eufrosina Pinto) by students of the course of Technology in Agroecology at the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS) / University Unit of Glória de Dourados. The methodologies used were based on Piaget pedagogical concepts (Jean Piaget) guided by constructivism and theoretical foundations, and Freirian (Paulo Freire), improved from the popular emancipatory education. The reports were noted, followed by participant observation. Most students have knowledge and significant insight into the issues of Agroecology, sustainability and local development. The use of teaching tools Freirian and Piaget were of paramount importance in linking the topics axle, participatory methodologies of high relevance in the intervention process.

RESUMO Este artigo apresenta uma análise das três plataformas de consulta empregadas durante o processo de elaboração do Marco Civil da Internet (MCI). O objetivo é avaliar, a partir de critérios da literatura de democracia digital, como as características das plataformas modelaram o processo de participação e quais lições podem ser tiradas desse caso paradigmático. Ao fim, enumera-se como lições: a) é necessário ter em conta a participação de públicos distintos, leigos e especialistas, cidadãos avulsos e organizações de representação de interesses; b) a ocorrência das consultas deve ser amplamente divulgada, bem como informações sobre o necessário procedimento para participar; c) as consultas devem ser responsivas; d) as consultas devem ser previstas e regulamentadas dentro do processo de tomada de decisão.Palavras-chave: Marco Civil da Internet; Democracia Digital; Participação Online; Consultas Públicas Online.ABSTRACT This article analyses three public consultation platforms used during the elaboration of the Brazilian law known as "Civil Rights Framework for the Internet". The objective is to evaluate, based on criteria of the literature on digital democracy, how the characteristics of these platforms modeled the process of public participation and what lessons could be learned from this paradigmatic case. Finally, a few of these lessons are enumerated: a) it is necessary to consider distinct publics, experts and non-experts, sundry citizens, and interested organizations; b) occurrence of consultations must be widely disseminated, as well as information on how to participate; c) consultations must be responsive; d) consultations must be accounted for within the decision-making process.Keywords: Civil Rights Framework for the Internet; Digital Democracy; Online Participation; Online Public Consultation.

RESUMO Este texto faz parte de um projeto amplo de esclarecimento da problemática da mediação social, no sentido da crítica da epistemologia da comunicação, com base numa leitura sistemática da obra de Marx. No que segue, pretendo sugerir apenas, retomando alguns trechos esclarecedores dos Grundrisse, um caminho para a crítica da economia política da internet, que se desdobra, como ficará explicitado, na crítica da ideia de "sociedade em rede". No fundo, trata-se de problematizar as possibilidades de regulação da internet, tendo em vista o significado último do seu surgimento neste particular momento de desenvolvimento do capitalismo.Palavras-chave: Comunicação; Internet; Capitalismo; Epistemologia; Economia Política.ABSTRACT This paper is part of a far-reaching project that aims to clarify the issue of social mediation, from a critical perspective on the epistemology of communication, based on a systematic reading of Marx's work. Here I intend only to indicate a pathway to a critique of the political economy of the Internet, based on a few clarifying excerpts from the Grundrisse, which includes a critique on the idea of "network society". It is, essentially, a discussion on the issue of regulating the Internet, considering the significance of its emergence at this particular moment of the history of capitalism.Keywords: Communication; Internet; Capitalism; Epistemology; Political Economy.

Новые иноязычные слова в русском языке: функциональный и методологический аспекты
Authors: Кальнова Ольга
Published: May 2016

Приток огромного числа иноязычных слов в русский язык – на уровне текста, речи, системы, – начавшийся в конце XX века и наблюдаемый сегодня, породил серьезные проблемы, с которыми сталкиваются как рядовые носители языка, так и ученые.
В отечественном языкознании наиболее известны генетическая типология; тематическая типология; классификация, основанная на степени освоенности иноязычного слова; типология, в основе которой лежит принцип номинации – признак наличия/отсутствия эквивалента в системе языка-реципиента.
В связи с существенными изменениями, наблюдаемыми в характере заимствования и освоения русским языком новых иноязычных слов, возникает вопрос о степени адекватности традиционной теории заимствования фактам языкового взаимодействия.
Анализ многочисленных примеров употребления иноязычных слов показывает, что достаточно часто разные их разряды оказываются лишёнными своей индивидуальности. Это выражается в том, что свойства, считавшиеся типичными для одной категории слов, мы находим в другой, и наоборот. Это подтверждается рядом фактов: активным использованием латиницы при оформлении иноязычных слов, словообразовательной активностью не только заимствованных, но и других разрядов иноязычных слов, их функциональным сближением в современных текстах.
Категории определённости / неопределённости и ретроспекции / проспекции в репрезентации образа автора в рассказе Т. Толстой «Милая Шура»
Authors: Тригук Марина
Published: May 2016

В статье анализируется центральная семантическая категория «образ автора», имплицитный характер которой во многих случаях затрудняет интерпретацию художественного текста читателем. Являясь центральной категорией художественного текста, образ автора взаимодействует с различными категориями, в том числе категориями определённости / неопределённости и ретроспекции / проспекции.
В рассказе Т. Толстой «Милая Шура» категория определённости / неопределённости частотно репрезентируется местоимениями различных разрядов, оформляющими образ автора. Оппозиция значений определённости / неопределённости отмечают изменения характеристик образа автора, значимых для восприятия смысла текста. Категория ретроспекции даёт читателю возможность осознать повторяющуюся концептуальную информацию как наиболее существенную с авторской точки зрения. Формы перфектного результативного и их оппозиции с другими глагольными формами также выявляют образ автора. Кроме того, адекватная интерпретация анализируемого художественного текста обеспечивается категорией проспекции, выраженной глагольными формами в императивном наклонении. Таким образом, в статье обосновывается роль стилистически маркированного использования местоимений и глагольных форм в аспекте анализируемых категорий как фактора выявления образа автора.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and therapeutic management of indigestion in milch cows in and around Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Crossbred milch cows (n=257) with the history of anorexia presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, OUAT, Bhubaneswar and in private herds in and around Bhubaneswar were examined for indigestion following standard procedures to identify the type of indigestion leading to decrease in milk yield. Clinical examination, determination of pH, study of rumen protozoa, rumen bacteria were carried out in three different types of indigestion. Amongst the affected animals, 48.33 % (n=58), 21.67 % (n=26) and 30.00 % (n=36) were detected to be affected with simple, acid and alkaline indigestion, respectively. Simple indigestion was higher (p < 0.05) as compared to acid and alkaline and alkaline indigestion (30 %) was found to be the next to simple indigestion. Ruminal movement varied from 1-4 per 5 min and pH of the rumen fluid ranged from 7.5-8.6 and the idophillic activity of the rumen protozoa was moderate type (+++). Average total count of protozoa was estimated to be 3.5 - 4.6 x 105 per ml with an average of 4.1 x 105 per ml of rumen liquor and drugs used in the study were found efficacious to treat the different types of indigestion.. Rumen bacteria have played role resulting in production of volatile fatty acids and lactic acid thereby decreasing / disturbing the rumen pH to non-physiological levels, reducing efficiency of rumen microflora.
