In the article, kiwi (A.deliciosa) is a biologically resorbed fruit of the plant. The biochemical composition of the fruit contains the enzyme actinidine. This enzyme is needed to break down proteins and facilitate digestion. Kiwi fruit is one of the richest berries in terms of vitamin C content. Kiwi is a new type of fruit in Uzbekistan, and the exact area of plantations has not been statistically analyzed, but it is grown in the backyards of amateur gardeners who grow it. Scan grafting of the Hayward variety of kiwi plant was carried out in 3 periods. The second period was observed on March 15, when the retention rate of grafted buds was 82% or 13% higher than the period of the first grafting. The coefficient of variation in terms of welding times was low (V = 6.9%) and the coefficient of mean square deviation was X = 62.7 ± 3.1. The Hayward variety of kiwi plant has been created by means of grafting.

Authors:   Master’s student, Tashkent State University of Law, Uzbekistan, Juramirzaev Zarif
Published: May 2022

This particular paper attempts to outline the specific problems in the application of lex mercatoria in international commercial arbitration and suggests the way how the legislation of Uzbekistan should navigate in the existence of those problems in order to ensure its attractiveness as the seat of arbitration. The structure of the article is as follows. It first describes the historical evolution of the lex mercatoria until it finds its place in international commercial arbitration and later is mentioned in a number of international instruments, and more importantly, is implemented in the national laws consequently. The article then addresses modern sources of the lex mercatoria and specifically mentions the elements of lex mercatoria in the legislation of Uzbekistan. The paper also addresses the consequences such as setting aside the awards which were issued applying lex mercatoria. The paper concludes with the proposals of the author concerning the adaptation of Uzbekistan to the above-mentioned problems in the application of lex mercatoria.

Osteoporosis and cognitive impairment in older adults: what is the link?
Authors: Cherdak M. A. , Dudinskaya E. N.
Published: May 2022

Osteoporosis and various cognitive disorders occupy a special place among a number of specific pathological conditions associated with age. Epidemiologically these two conditions are closely related thus the presence of cognitive impairment increases the risk of osteoporosis; and, visa versa, dementia, in particular, caused by Alzheimer's disease, and is more often detected among patients with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis in patients with dementia is an extremely serious problem, since the development of osteoporotic fractures is fraught with a sharp deterioration in cognitive status and a significant increase in disability and mortality. The connection between changes in bone mineral density and cognitive status in older adults is not well understood. The review presents data from non-clinical and clinical studies that describe common genetic and metabolic factors underlying the pathogenesis of the pathological conditions under discussion, which should be taken into account when planning future dementia and osteoporosis clinical trials.

Published: May 2022

A novel coronavirus infection was described in 2019 in Wuhan, China. From the first months of the spread of the infection around the world, evidence began to appear that patients after recovery had various symptoms. Duration, intensity, and variability of symptoms varies among patients and are often not associated with the severity of the most acute illness. Recently the concept of post-COVID syndrome (post-COVID or long-COVID in the English-language literature) has acquired increasingly clear diagnostic criteria. Persistent symptoms and / or the appearance of delayed complications after 4 weeks or more from the onset of symptoms of an acute illness are commonly called post-COVID syndrome. This review provides information on post-COVID syndrome, its pathophysiology and specific organ lesions. Relevant data on the interdisciplinary management of patients who have undergone a new coronavirus infection will be considered and an algorithm for identifying the diagnosis will be proposed.

ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ON COMPANY'S VALUE
Authors: Umaraite Laura , Lapinskaitė Indrė
Published: May 2022

The attention to sustainability has been increasing rapidly due to environmental and social issues, as well as increasing business risks. It is changing an understanding how business is valued, putting pressure on, and also bring-ing opportunities for business performance. Along with the increasing weight of sustainability aspects, accessing the value of the company has become a more complex task. The literature analysis suggests different implications on the impact of sustainable development on business value, with most finding a positive relation; however, no clear measures to evaluate such impact can be distinguished. The aim of this paper is to find out the impact of sustainable development on the value of the company. Business sustainability is analysed through the aspects of Environmental, Social, Govern-ance (ESG), which is currently the most emerging sustainability framework, with a special emphasis on governance. Meanwhile, business value is investigated through literature review by determining a range of possible internal and external measures. Panel regression analysis is considered as a method in order to discover a link between sustainable development and business value through selected time period. The results suggest that sustainable development could have a positive impact on business value in the long term.
HOUSE AGE AND HOUSING PRICES: A VIEWPOINT OF THE OPTIMAL TIME FOR LAND REDEVELOPMENT
Authors: Wang Wen-Kai , Tsai I-Chun
Published: May 2022

The value of a property comprises the value of both the building and the land. Numerous studies have reported a nonlinear relationship between house age and housing prices, which may result from mispricing the value of the land. The paper establishes a theoretical model to evaluate the optimal time for land redevelopment and the land value after redevelopment according to the real options. Although the depreciation effect causes the value of buildings to decrease as house age increases, properties with a lower residual building value have a higher probability of being redeveloped. Thus, the depreciation effect of building value and the inverse depreciation effect of land value contribute to the nonlinear relationship between house age and housing prices. Data from Taipei City, Taiwan, are employed for empirical analysis. The results imply that where land is scarce, housing prices are unlikely to depreciate due to ageing buildings.

pyspeckit is a toolkit and library for spectroscopic analysis in Python. We describe the pyspeckit package and highlight some of its capabilities, such as interactively fitting a model to data, akin to the historically widely-used splot function in IRAF. pyspeckit employs the Levenberg–Marquardt optimization method via the mpfit and lmfit implementations, and important assumptions regarding error estimation are described here. Wrappers to use pymc and emcee as optimizers are provided. A parallelized wrapper to fit lines in spectral cubes is included. As part of the astropy affiliated package ecosystem, pyspeckit is open source and open development, and welcomes input and collaboration from the community.
Correlated Read Noise Reduction in Infrared Arrays Using Deep Learning
Authors: Payeur Guillaume , Artigau Étienne , Levasseur Laurence Perreault , Doyon René
Published: May 2022

We present a new procedure rooted in deep learning to construct science images from data cubes collected by astronomical instruments using HxRG detectors in low-flux regimes. It improves on the drawbacks of the conventional algorithms to construct 2D images from multiple readouts by using the readout scheme of the detectors to reduce the impact of correlated readout noise. We train a convolutional recurrent neural network on simulated astrophysical scenes added to laboratory darks to estimate the flux on each pixel of science images. This method achieves a reduction of the noise on constructed science images when compared to standard flux-measurement schemes (correlated double sampling, up-the-ramp sampling), which results in a reduction of the error on the spectrum extracted from these science images. Over simulated data cubes created in a low signal-to-noise ratio regime where this method could have the largest impact, we find that the error on our constructed science images falls faster than a

A Near-infrared Look at AGN Feedback in Bulgeless Galaxies
Authors: Bohn Thomas , Canalizo Gabriela , Satyapal Shobita , Sales Laura V.
Published: May 2022

While it is generally believed that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) lie in most galaxies with bulges, few SMBHs have been confirmed in bulgeless galaxies. Identifying such a population could provide important insights to the BH seed population and secular BH growth. To this end, we obtained near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic observations of a sample of low-redshift bulgeless galaxies with mid-infrared colors suggestive of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We find additional evidence of AGN activity (such as coronal lines and broad permitted lines) in 69% (9/13) of the sample, demonstrating that mid-infrared selection is a powerful tool to detect AGNs. More than half of the galaxies with confirmed AGN activity show fast outflows in [O iii] in the optical and/or [Si vi] in the NIR, with the latter generally having much faster velocities that are also correlated to their spatial extent. We are also able to obtain virial BH masses for some targets and find they fall within the scatter of other late-type galaxies in the M
BH–M
stellar relation. The fact that they lack a significant bulge component indicates that secular processes, likely independent of major mergers, grew these BHs to supermassive sizes. Finally, we analyze the rotational gas kinematics and find two notable exceptions: two AGN hosts with outflows that appear to be rotating faster than expected. There is an indication that these two galaxies have stellar masses significantly lower than expected from their dark matter halo masses. This, combined with the observed AGN activity and strong gas outflows, may be evidence of the effects of AGN feedback.
Termination Shocks and the Extended X-Ray Emission in Mrk 78

Published: May 2022

Subarcsecond imaging of the X-ray emission in the type 2 active galactic nucleus (AGN) Mrk 78 with Chandra shows complex structure with spectral variations on scales from ∼200 pc to ∼2 kpc. Overall the X-ray emission is aligned E–W with the radio (3.6 cm) and narrow emission line region as mapped in [O iii], with a marked E–W asymmetry. The eastern X-ray emission is mostly in a compact knot coincident with the location where the radio source is deflected, while the western X-ray emission forms a loop or shell ∼2 kpc from the nucleus with radius ∼0.7 kpc. There is suggestive evidence of shocks in both the eastern knot and the western arc. Both these positions coincide with large changes in the velocities of the [O iii] outflow. We discuss possible reasons why the X-ray shocks on the western side occur ∼1 kpc farther out than on the eastern side. We estimate that the thermal energy injected by the shocks into the interstellar medium corresponds to 0.05%–0.6% of the AGN bolometric luminosity.
Implications of a Temperature-dependent Initial Mass Function. I. Photometric Template Fitting
Authors: Sneppen Albert , Steinhardt Charles L. , Hensley Hagan , Jermyn Adam S. , Mostafa Basel , Weaver John R.
Published: May 2022

A universal stellar initial mass function (IMF) should not be expected from theoretical models of star formation, but little conclusive observational evidence for a variable IMF has been uncovered. In this paper, a parameterization of the IMF is introduced into photometric template fitting of the COSMOS2015 catalog. The resulting best-fit templates suggest systematic variations in the IMF, with most galaxies exhibiting top-heavier stellar populations than in the Milky Way. At fixed redshift, only a small range of IMFs are found, with the typical IMF becoming progressively top-heavier with increasing redshift. Additionally, subpopulations of ULIRGs, quiescent and star-forming galaxies are compared with predictions of stellar population feedback and show clear qualitative similarities to the evolution of dust temperatures.
Slow Magnetoacoustic Oscillations in Stellar Coronal Loops
Authors: Lim Daye , Nakariakov Valery M. , Moon Yong-Jae
Published: May 2022

Slow magnetoacoustic oscillations in stellar coronal loops with gravitational stratification are analyzed with a numerical solution of the boundary value problem for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. In this study, we only focus on the resonant periods. The effects of the gravitational stratification, star mass, loop temperature, and loop length on the properties of slow magnetoacoustic oscillations are investigated. It is shown that the discrepancy between stratified and nonstratified loops is higher in density perturbations than in velocity perturbations. When the star has a larger mass, higher coronal temperature, and longer loop, the density perturbations in the stratified loop are significantly different from the harmonic functions. The periods in the stratified loop are slightly longer than in the nonstratified loop. The periods calculated in our model (14–644 minutes) are consistent with the periods of stellar quasi-periodic pulsations observed in both soft X-rays (2–70 minutes) and white lights (8–390 minutes).
Longitudinal Variation of H2O Ice Absorption on Miranda
Authors: DeColibus Riley A. , Chanover Nancy J. , Cartwright Richard J.
Published: May 2022

Many tidally locked icy satellites in the outer solar system show leading/trailing hemispherical asymmetries in the strength of near-infrared (NIR) H2O ice absorption bands, in which the absorption bands are stronger on the leading hemisphere. This is often attributed to a combination of magnetospheric irradiation effects and impact gardening, which can modify grain size, expose fresh ice, and produce dark contaminating compounds that reduce the strength of absorption features. Previous research identified this leading/trailing asymmetry on the four largest classical Uranian satellites but did not find a clear leading/trailing asymmetry on Miranda, the smallest and innermost classical moon. We undertook an extensive observational campaign to investigate variations of the NIR spectral signature of H2O ice with longitude on Miranda’s northern hemisphere. We acquired 22 new spectra with the TripleSpec spectrograph on the ARC 3.5 m telescope and four new spectra with GNIRS on Gemini North. Our analysis also includes three unpublished and seven previously published spectra taken with SpeX on the 3 m IRTF. We confirm that Miranda has no substantial leading/trailing hemispherical asymmetry in the strength of its H2O ice absorption features. We additionally find evidence for an anti-Uranus/sub-Uranus asymmetry in the strength of the 1.5 μm H2O ice band that is not seen on the other Uranian satellites, suggesting that additional endogenic or exogenic processes influence the longitudinal distribution of H2O ice band strengths on Miranda.
Improving locoregional outcome in high-intermediate-risk and high-risk stage I endometrial cancer with surgical staging followed by brachytherapy
Authors: Abakay Candan Demiroz , Arslan Sonay , Kurt Meral , Cetintas Sibel
Published: May 2022

Purpose: This study aims to assess the locoregional efficacy of postoperative vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) alone in patients undergoing surgical staging for early-stage high-intermediate-risk (HIR) and high-risk (HR) endometrial cancer. Materials and Methods: One hundred and four patients with early-stage HIR and HR endometrial cancer who underwent surgical staging were treated with adjuvant VBT alone. The patients with stage Ib, grade I–III, stage Ia, grade III, lower uterine segment involvement, and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) were included to study. Results: The 5- and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates were 87% and 76%, respectively. The 5- and 10-year DFS rates were 86% and 86%, respectively. Among the patients, 92% had endometrioid adenocarcinoma, 2% had undifferentiated carcinoma, 2% had serous papillary carcinoma, and 4% had clear-cell carcinoma. Of the patients, 63% had stage Ib disease, while 37% had stage Ia disease. None of the patients had vaginal or pelvic lymph node recurrence, whereas two had para-aortic lymph node metastasis, one had surgical scar recurrence, one had para-aortic lymph node and brain metastasis, and one had lung metastasis. The presence of lymphatic invasion was found to be a statistically significant prognostic factor for increased distant metastasis rates (p = 0.020). Lymphatic invasion was also regarded as an independent prognostic factor for metastasis-free survival (p = 0.044). Conclusion: Our study results suggest that postoperative VBT alone is an effective and safe treatment modality with low complication in patients undergoing surgical staging for HIR and HR endometrial cancer.

Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is an infectious disease caused by the HIV-1 or HIV-2 virus. Cluster of differentiation 4+ (CD4+) T lymphocytes have an important role in the immune process. Chemokine Ligand 13 (CXCL13) is chemotactic for receptor-expressing cells (CXCR5), including B cells and follicular helper (Tfh) T cells. CXCL13 examination can be used to detect HIV antibodies and as a marker of disease progression and monitoring anti-retrovirus therapy (ART) in HIV-infected patients. Giving ART will reduce CXCL13 levels and show B cell activation, so CXCL13 can be used as a new marker of immune or antibody formation during acute or chronic HIV infection. CXCL13 examination can be used to detect HIV antibodies and as a marker of disease progression and monitoring ART in HIV-infected patients. Giving ART will reduce CXCL13 levels and show B cell activation, so CXCL13 can be used as a new marker of immune or antibody formation during acute or chronic HIV infection.

AIM: The aim of the study was to propose a study on the relationship between CD4+ T lymphocyte levels and CXCL13 levels in HIV patients who had received ART at the Sanglah Central General Hospital (RSUP), Denpasar. This study was start from March 2021 to August 2021 at the Sanglah Central General Hospital.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study used analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design, conducted at the Voluntary Counseling and Testing and the Clinical Pathology Laboratory at Sanglah Central General Hospital with 55 samples include in inclusion criteria.

RESULTS: In this study, the mean age of the research subjects was 42.18 ± 10.31 years with 58.2% male, 41.8% female having received ART with a mean of 63 months. The average number of CD4+ T lymphocytes was 451.53 ± 295.118. Median CXCL13 level was 50,551. The correlation between CXCL13 levels and the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes was −0.209. This correlation was not significant with p = 0.127 (p < 0.05), then partial correlation was performed. The partial correlation of CXCL13 levels and the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes was −0.308, a negative direction indicating there was an inverse correlation. This correlation is a significant with p = 0.023 (p < 0.05) after partial correlation and is in the category of weak correlation.

CONCLUSIONS: There are a significant negative correlation after partial correlation of CXCL13 levels and the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes in HIV patients at Sanglah Hospital during the treatment phase.
A new subspecies of the Asiatic softshell turtle Amyda ornata (Gray, 1861) from its northern distribution range
Authors: Praschag Peter , Gemel Richard
Published: May 2022

We describe a new subspecies ofAmyda ornata(Gray, 1861) from the southeastern parts of Bangladesh (Chittagong hill tracts), adjacent regions of north-eastern India (Mizoram, Assam and Tripura) and Myanmar, based on morphological characteristics. The holotype comprises some skeletal elements held by the Natural History Museum of Vienna; the five paratypes consist of living specimens in the private collection of PP “Turtle Island” (a turtle conservation zoo in Graz, Austria). After the genetic identity had been determined in a previous investigation, the morphological description was carried out by examining living specimens and photo documents; and additionally, by evaluating the computed tomography of further living animals with exact location data.

Amyda ornata jonglissp. nov. differs from the otherAmyda ornatasubspecies mainly by its relatively compact and stout head in subadults and adults, its paler, greyish and less contrasting colouration missing distinct bright yellow pigments, ochre-coloured irises, and the existence of more distinct tubercles in the neck region and in the posterior section of the carapace than both other subspecies ofAmyda ornata. The tubercles along the front of the carapace protrude clearly in subadult and adult specimens. This softshell turtle is heavily exploited within its limited distribution. Therefore, special comments on conservation aspects are given together with a final discussion on distribution and systematics.

Published: May 2022

Understanding what shapes the mammal species poaching in protected areas is critical to developing targeted management strategies for reducing poaching. We collected the data for poaching incidents on the GPS coordinates from 2011 to 2017 to map poaching incidents in the Pendjari Biosphere Reserve. Poaching incidents were then related to environmental and anthropogenic variables using regression analyses. The study shows that poaching is more concentrated along the main river in the Pendjari National Park. Only nearest distance to the main river significantly predicted the location of high poaching incidents. These results could be used as the starting point by the park managers when planning the anti-poaching activities.
A reassessment of the origin and distribution of the subterranean genus Pseudolimnocythere Klie, 1938 (Ostracoda, Loxoconchidae), with description of two new species from Italy
Authors: Rossetti Giampaolo , Stoch Fabio , Mazzini Ilaria
Published: May 2022

Groundwater ecosystems host a rich and unique, but still largely unexplored and undescribed, biodiversity. Several lineages of ostracod crustaceans have subterranean representatives or are exclusively living in groundwaters. The stygobitic genus Pseudolimnocythere Klie, 1938 has a West Palearctic distribution, and includes few living and fossil species of marine origin. Through a comprehensive literature review and the description of the two new living species, Pseudolimnocythere abditasp. nov. and Pseudolimnocythere sofiaesp. nov., from springs in the Northern Apennines, Italy, a morphological analysis was carried out with the aim of comparing the valve morphology of living and fossil species, and to discuss previous hypotheses about time and mode of colonization of inland waters. Pseudolimnocythere species show a low variability in valve morphology, with a remarkable stasis over geological times. The distribution of extant and fossil species is consistent with a scenario of multiple and independent events of colonization of continental habitats linked to sea level variations starting from Middle Miocene in the Paratethys and, later, in the Mediterranean. The most common colonization routes of inland waters have taken place through karst formations along ancient coastlines, although we cannot exclude some minor active migration through the hyporheic zone of streams. Available distribution data suggest a poor dispersal ability of Pseudolimnocythere species after they had colonized continental waters.
A new species of Andean mouse of the genus Thomasomys (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) from the eastern Andes of Ecuador
Authors: Lee Jr. Thomas E. , Tinoco Nicolás , Brito Jorge
Published: May 2022

We name and describe a new species of Andean mouse from the eastern slope of the Andes of central Ecuador (Sangay National Park). This rodent is large-bodied (head-body length 167–184 mm) inhabiting the wet montane forest between 3,400–3,900 m in elevation. A molecular phylogeny based on mitochondrial genes resolved the new species as a member of the “aureus” group, closely related to an undescribed species from north Ecuador. This finding increases the diversity of Thomasomys to 48 species, of which 18 species inhabit Ecuador. In addition, the species described herein is the largest species of the genus described in Ecuador.
Transition graph decomposition for complex balanced reaction networks with non-mass-action kinetics
Authors: Cappelletti Daniele , Joshi Badal
Published: May 2022

Reaction networks are widely used models to describe biochemical processes. Stochastic fluctuations in the counts of biological macromolecules have amplified consequences due to their small population sizes. This makes it necessary to favor stochastic, discrete population, continuous time models. The stationary distributions provide snapshots of the model behavior at the stationary regime, and as such finding their expression in terms of the model parameters is of great interest. The aim of the present paper is to describe when the stationary distributions of the original model, whose state space is potentially infinite, coincide exactly with the stationary distributions of the process truncated to finite subsets of states, up to a normalizing constant. The finite subsets of states we identify are called copies and are inspired by the modular topology of reaction network models. With such a choice we prove a novel graphical characterization of the concept of complex balancing for stochastic models of reaction networks. The results of the paper hold for the commonly used mass-action kinetics but are not restricted to it, and are in fact stated for more general setting.
Return-to-home model for short-range human travel
Authors: Ducrot Arnaud , Magal Pierre
Published: May 2022

In this work, we develop a mathematical model to describe the local movement of individuals by taking into account their return to home after a period of travel. We provide a suitable functional framework to handle this system and study the large-time behavior of the solutions. We extend our model by incorporating a colonization process and applying the return to home process to an epidemic.
Misallocation, Selection, and Productivity: A Quantitative Analysis With Panel Data From China
Authors: Adamopoulos Tasso , Brandt Loren , Leight Jessica , Restuccia Diego
Published: May 2022

We use household‐level panel data from China and a quantitative framework to document the extent and consequences of factor misallocation in agriculture. We find that there are substantial within‐village frictions in both the land and capital markets linked to land institutions in rural China that disproportionately constrain the more productive farmers. These frictions reduce aggregate agricultural productivity by affecting two key margins: (1) the allocation of resources across farmers (misallocation) and (2) the allocation of workers across sectors, in particular the type of farmers who operate in agriculture (selection). Selection substantially amplifies the productivity effect of distortionary policies by affecting occupational choices that worsen average ability in agriculture.
Dual‐Self Representations of Ambiguity Preferences
Authors: Chandrasekher Madhav , Frick Mira , Iijima Ryota , Le Yaouanq Yves
Published: May 2022

We propose a class of multiple‐prior representations of preferences under ambiguity, where the belief the decision‐maker (DM) uses to evaluate an uncertain prospect is the outcome of a game played by two conflicting forces, Pessimism and Optimism. The model does not restrict the sign of the DM's ambiguity attitude, and we show that it provides a unified framework through which to characterize different degrees of ambiguity aversion, and to represent the co‐existence of negative and positive ambiguity attitudes within individuals as documented in experiments. We prove that our baseline representation,dual‐self expected utility (DSEU), yields a novel representation of the class of invariant biseparable preferences (Ghirardato, Maccheroni, and Marinacci (2004)), which drops uncertainty aversion from maxmin expected utility (Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989)), while extensions of DSEU allow for more general departures from independence. We also provide foundations for a generalization of prior‐by‐prior belief updating to our model.
Long‐Run Effects of Dynamically Assigned Treatments: A New Methodology and an Evaluation of Training Effects on Earnings
Authors: Berg Gerard J. , Vikström Johan
Published: May 2022

We propose and implement a new method to estimate treatment effects in settings where individuals need to be in a certain state (e.g., unemployment) to be eligible for a treatment, treatments may commence at different points in time, and the outcome of interest is realized after the individual left the initial state. An example concerns the effect of training on earnings in subsequent employment. Any evaluation needs to take into account that some of those who are not trained at a certain time in unemployment will leave unemployment before training while others will be trained later. We are interested in effects of the treatment at a certain elapsed duration compared to “no treatment at any subsequent duration.” We prove identification under unconfoundedness and propose inverse probability weighting estimators. A key feature is that weights given to outcome observations of nontreated depend on the remaining time in the initial state. We study effects of a training program for unemployed workers in Sweden. Estimates are positive and sizeable, exceeding those obtained with common static methods. This calls for a reappraisal of training as a tool to bring unemployed back to work.
Adaptive Bayesian Estimation of Discrete‐Continuous Distributions Under Smoothness and Sparsity
Authors: Norets Andriy , Pelenis Justinas
Published: May 2022

We consider nonparametric estimation of a mixed discrete‐continuous distribution under anisotropic smoothness conditions and a possibly increasing number of support points for the discrete part of the distribution. For these settings, we derive lower bounds on the estimation rates. Next, we consider a nonparametric mixture of normals model that uses continuous latent variables for the discrete part of the observations. We show that the posterior in this model contracts at rates that are equal to the derived lower bounds up to a log factor. Thus, Bayesian mixture of normals models can be used for (up to a log factor) optimal adaptive estimation of mixed discrete‐continuous distributions. The proposed model demonstrates excellent performance in simulations mimicking the first stage in the estimation of structural discrete choice models.
Optimal Monetary Policy in Production Networks
Authors: La'O Jennifer , Tahbaz-Salehi Alireza
Published: May 2022

This paper studies the optimal conduct of monetary policy in a multisector economy in which firms buy and sell intermediate goods over a production network. We first provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the monetary policy's ability to implement flexible‐price equilibria in the presence of nominal rigidities and show that, generically, no monetary policy can implement the first‐best allocation. We then characterize the optimal policy in terms of the economy's production network and the extent and nature of nominal rigidities. Our characterization result yields general principles for the optimal conduct of monetary policy in the presence of input‐output linkages: it establishes that optimal policy stabilizes a price index with greater weights assigned to larger, stickier, and more upstream industries, as well as industries with less sticky upstream suppliers but stickier downstream customers. In a calibrated version of the model, we find that implementing the optimal policy can result in quantitatively meaningful welfare gains.
De la melancolía a la locura: embarazo, parto y posparto (España y el mundo hispánico, siglos XVI-XVII)
Authors: Usunáriz Jesús M.
Published: May 2022

Si bien hoy se conocen y tratan científicamente los problemas psicológicos derivados del embarazo y del parto, este trabajo trata de analizar cómo se abordaron estos en la España de la temprana Edad Moderna. Para ello se parte del concepto de “melancolía” según la tratadística de los siglos XVI y XVII, y se analizan los ejemplos contenidos en una fuente de gran interés, como son las vidas de santos y libros de milagros publicados en español en ese período. Esta fuente nos revela cómo se procuraba atender, mediante el consuelo y la empatía, las necesidades físicas y psicológicas de la mujer.

Far di una chiesa un «vero santuario»
Authors: Serra Alessandro
Published: May 2022

Tramite l’esame di fonti istituzionali, come gli atti della Visita apostolica di Urbano VIII (1624-1630) e gli inventari dei luoghi pii redatti dopo Concilio Romano del 1725, nonché di un singolare caso di ego-document, i diari di Camillo Cybo, il saggio ricostruisce l’evolversi dell’atteggiamento delle confraternite romane verso le reliquie, con un’attenzione specifica per gli articolati meccanismi di socialità ad esso legati. Se tra fine Cinquecento e metà Seicento si riscontra un approccio sostanzialmente « devozionale » ai sacri resti, dai primi decenni del XVIII secolo, si assiste all’affermarsi progressivo di una tendenza all’accumulo indiscriminato. Si tratta di percorsi diversi, ma accomunati dalla volontà di attribuire agli spazi confraternali quel surplus di sacralità indispensabile a conferire loro una specificità nella complessa topografia religiosa complessa romana.
Quand le musée de société donne du pouvoir : enjeux de la construction participative d’expositions au Mucem
Authors: Ferloni Julia , Sitzia Emilie
Published: May 2022

Les pratiques participatives sont un outil particulièrement important et sollicité dans les musées de société : aux prises avec le contemporain, ils portent une responsabilité de représentation de la société dans son entièreté, sa diversité et sa complexité. Il est en effet présumé que la participation sous toutes ses formes et à des degrés divers est la manière la plus adaptée et positive pour parvenir à une inclusion réussie. Nous proposons avec cet article d’explorer les enjeux de l’inclusion des représentants de la société civile dans des projets muséaux, ceux du Mucem en particulier. Les questions centrales sont les suivantes : y a-t-il un réel bénéfice à donner la parole et, partant, le/du pouvoir, à des citoyens ? Et pour qui ? Quels sont les obstacles rencontrés dans la co-création d’exposition avec des non-spécialistes du musée ?
Organizational Green Culture Implications in Organizational Resilience and Green Behaviors
Authors: Vargas-Hernández José G. , Calderón-Campos Patricia
Published: May 2022

This study has the aim to analyze the implications between the green culture and creativity in organizational resilience and green behaviors. The analysis assumes that environmentally responsible assumptions, beliefs, values, and behaviors shared by the organizational members through green entrepreneurial and transformational leadership skills, give support to the organizational resilience, green culture, and creativity. The method employed centers around the theoretical and empirical review of the literature to infer some reflective deductions around the state of the art. It is concluded that the organizational green culture and creativity has a direct influence in the organizational green behaviors, entrepreneurship, and transformational skills.

Multifocal lymphadenopathies with polyclonal reactions primed after EBV infection in a mRNA-1273 vaccine recipient
Authors: Girardin François R. , Tzankov Alexandar , Pantaleo Giuseppe , Livio Françoise , Greub Gilbert
Published: May 2022

We report a case of recurrent tender, multifocal lymphadenopathies associated with B-symptoms, clinically mimicking lymphoma in a mRNA-1273 vaccine recipient after a recent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection.
In the lymph node biopsy, monocytoid B-cell hyperplasia, TH2 (GATA3+) predominance, and hyperplasia of interferon-gamma-producing plasmacytoid dendritic cells were observed along with sustained neutralising antibody production against SARS-CoV-2 wild-type and five variants. High titres of anti-S antibodies and neutralising antibodies were observed, excepted for variant B.1.529** (omicron) and B.1.351** (beta), due to several mutations in the spike protein, including the E484K mutation.
We postulated that EBV acted as an immunological enhancer with the mRNA-1273 vaccine, inducing a sustained inflammatory response over several weeks. However, the polyclonal nature of the lymphadenopathy with polytypic plasmacytosis and pseudo-tumoural reaction cell hyperplasia were associated with failure to mount acute phase responses.
