Published: March 2021

The article presents the results of studying the peculiarities of the development of various strength abilities of dancers who are the representatives of folk-stage dance. The purpose of the work is to develop a program for the development of strength abilities using the choreography in folk dancers. A group of theoretical and empirical methods was used in the study. The pedagogical observations at training sessions with 12-15 year-old dancers and surveys of teachers and coaches on the peculiarities of the development of strength abilities were conducted; testing of indicators of different strength abilities in 12-15 year-old adolescents engaged in folk-stage dance in the Honored Dance Ensemble of Ukraine «Youth» and in the school of folk dance, folk dance ensemble «Serpanok» (Lviv) was also held. This made it possible to develop a program for the development of strength abilities, taking into account their varieties, which are necessary in folk-stage dances. The main means of developing strength abilities in the program were folk-stage dance exercises, the selection of which took into account their predominant influence on the development of a particular strength ability, the possibility of local, regional or general impact on the musculoskeletal system and the need for accurate dosing. The positive influence of the developed program on the development of various strength abilities of dancers is revealed. The obtained results can be used in the practice of teachers of choreographic groups of folk-stage dance.

Anything He Can Do, She Can Do Better: Children’s Attitudes About Gender and Occupations
Authors: Brown Ryan , Weinberger Nanci
Published: March 2021

Children’s career aspirations are affected by cultural stereotypes about gender. We investigated rudimentary implicit associations and explicit gender attitudes about occupations with a diverse sample of fifty-eight (29 girls, 29 boys) 10-year-old children. We tested implicit gender associations using an adapted auditory Stroop task and tested explicit gender attitudes using the Gender-Stereotyped Attitude Scale for Children (GASC). We also modified a version of the GASC to assess children’s attitudes about a female and a male firefighter-paramedic seen in a brief video. Children also judged the firefighter-paramedics’ job skills. Children did not display implicit associations between occupations and one’s gender based on differences in the response times between the congruent and incongruent test trials that paired male and female voices with occupations, t(1762) = 0.65, p = .52, d = 0.03. Auditory voice stimuli might have confounded the tested associations between gender and occupations. The GASC findings highlighted gender stereotype flexibility about men and women. Girls were more flexible than boys on the job component of the GASC, t(56) = −2.12, p = .039, d = 0.55. The level of children’s gender stereotype flexibility varied by occupation. Children exhibited the most flexibility for who should be a doctor and the least flexibility for who should be a ballet dancer/teacher. Lastly, we assessed attitudes toward the specific woman featured in the video; children overwhelmingly saw her as a potentially good fire chief (vs. the man featured in the video; 91% selected Kate or both for who would be a better fire chief).

Measurable lower bounds on concurrence
Authors: Sargolzahi Iman , Mirafzali Sayyed Yahya , Sarbishaei Mohsen
Published: March 2021

We derive measurable lower bounds on concurrence of arbitrary mixed states, for both bipartite and multipartite cases. First, we construct measurable lower bonds on the \textit{purely algebraic} bounds of concurrence [F. Mintert \textit{et al.} (2004), Phys. Rev. lett., 92, 167902]. Then, using the fact that the sum of the square of the algebraic bounds is a lower bound of the squared concurrence, we sum over our measurable bounds to achieve a measurable lower bound on concurrence. With two typical examples, we show that our method can detect more entangled states and also can give sharper lower bonds than the similar ones.
Complexity of commuting Hamiltonians on a square lattice of qubits
Authors: Schuch Norbert
Published: March 2021

We consider the computational complexity of Hamiltonians which are sums of commuting terms acting on plaquettes in a square lattice of qubits, and we show that deciding whether the ground state minimizes the energy of each local term individually is in the complexity class NP. That is, if the ground states has this property, this can be proven using a classical certificate which can be efficiently verified on a classical computer. Different to previous results on commuting Hamiltonians, our certificate proves the existence of such a state without giving instructions on how to prepare it.
Non-demolition Adiabatic Measurement of the Phase Qubit State
Authors: Berman G.P. , Chumaka A.A. , Kameneva D.I. , Kinionc D. , Tsifrinovichd V.I.
Published: March 2021

An adiabatic method for a single-shot non-demolition measurement of the phase qubit is suggested. The qubit is inductively coupled to a low-frequency resonator, which in turn is connected with a classical measurement device (phase meter). The resonator drives adiabatic oscillations of the supercurrent in the qubit loop. The back reaction of the qubit loop on the resonator depends on the qubit state. Measuring the phase shift of the resonator’s oscillations one can determine the state of the qubit. Numerical computations with available experimental parameters show that the phase difference between the two qubit states increases at a rate of 0.0044 rad/ns with the fidelity of about 0.9989 and the measurement time of about 100 ns. The fidelity of the measurement is estimated taking into consideration possible quantum transitions inside and outside the qubit manifold. An increase of the phase difference is possible but it is linked to a reduction of the fidelity. The requirements for the reproducibility of the qubit and resonator parameters are formulated.
Entanglement in massive coupled oscillators
Authors: Harshman Nathan L. , Flynn William F.
Published: March 2021

This article investigates entanglement of the motional states of massive coupled oscillators. The specific realization of an idealized diatomic molecule in one-dimension is considered, but the techniques developed apply to any massive particles with two degrees of freedom and a quadratic Hamiltonian. We present two methods, one analytic and one approximate, to calculate the interatomic entanglement for Gaussian and non-Gaussian pure states as measured by the purity of the reduced density matrix. The cases of free and trapped molecules and hetero- and homonuclear molecules are treated. In general, when the trap frequency and the molecular frequency are very different, and when the atomic masses are equal, the atoms are highly-entangled for molecular coherent states and number states. Surprisingly, while the interatomic entanglement can be quite large even for molecular coherent states, the covariance of atomic position and momentum observables can be entirely explained by a classical model with appropriately chosen statistical uncertainty.
Deciding unitary equivalence between matrix polynomials and sets of bipartite quantum states
Authors: Chitambar Eric , Miller Carl , Shi Yaoyun
Published: March 2021

In this brief report, we consider the equivalence between two sets of $m+1$ bipartite quantum states under local unitary transformations. For pure states, this problem corresponds to the matrix algebra question of whether two degree $m$ matrix polynomials are unitarily equivalent; i.e. $UA_iV^\dagger=B_i$ for $0\leq i\leq m$ where $U$ and $V$ are unitary and $(A_i, B_i)$ are arbitrary pairs of rectangular matrices. We present a randomized polynomial-time algorithm that solves this problem with an arbitrarily high success probability and outputs transforming matrices $U$ and $V$.
Fault-tolerant ancilla preparation and noise threshold lower bounds for the 23-qubit Golay code
Authors: Paetznick Adam , Reichardt Ben W.
Published: March 2021

In fault-tolerant quantum computing schemes, the overhead is often dominated by the cost of preparing codewords reliably. This cost generally increases quadratically with the block size of the underlying quantum error-correcting code. In consequence, large codes that are otherwise very efficient have found limited fault-tolerance applications. Fault-tolerant preparation circuits therefore are an important target for optimization. We study the Golay code, a $23$-qubit quantum error-correcting code that protects the logical qubit to a distance of seven. In simulations, even using a na{\"i}ve ancilla preparation procedure, the Golay code is competitive with other codes both in terms of overhead and the tolerable noise threshold. We provide two simplified circuits for fault-tolerant preparation of Golay code-encoded ancillas. The new circuits minimize error propagation, reducing the overhead by roughly a factor of four compared to standard encoding circuits. By adapting the malignant set counting technique to depolarizing noise, we further prove a threshold above $\threshOverlap$ noise per gate.
Finite geometry behind the Harvey-Chryssanthacopoulos four-qubit magic rectangle
Authors: Saniga Metod , Planat Michel
Published: March 2021

A ``magic rectangle" of eleven observables of four qubits, employed by Harvey and Chryssanthacopoulos (2008) to prove the Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem in a 16-dimensional Hilbert space, is given a neat finite-geometrical reinterpretation in terms of the structure of the symplectic polar space $W(7,2)$ of the real four-qubit Pauli group. Each of the four sets of observables of cardinality five represents an elliptic quadric in the three-dimensional projective space of order two (PG$(3,2)$) it spans, whereas the remaining set of cardinality four corresponds to an affine plane of order two. The four ambient PG$(3, 2)$s of the quadrics intersect pairwise in a line, the resulting six lines meeting in a point. Projecting the whole configuration from this distinguished point (observable) one gets another, complementary ``magic rectangle" of the same qualitative structure.
On the geometry of tensor network states
Authors: Landsburg Joseph M. , Qi Yang , Ye Ke
Published: March 2021

We answer a question of L. Grasedyck that arose in quantum information theory, showing that the limit of tensors in a space of tensor network states need not be a tensor network state. We also give geometric descriptions of spaces of tensor networks states corresponding to trees and loops. Grasedyck's question has a surprising connection to the area of Geometric Complexity Theory, in that the result is equivalent to the statement that the boundary of the Mulmuley-Sohoni type variety associated to matrix multiplication is strictly larger than the projections of matrix multiplication (and re-expressions of matrix multiplication and its projections after changes of bases). Tensor Network States are also related to graphical models in algebraic statistics.
Achieving perfect completeness in classical-witness quantum Merlin-Arthur proof systems
Authors: Jordan Stephen P. , Kobayashi Hirotada , Nagaj Daniel , Nishimura Harumichi
Published: March 2021

This paper proves that classical-witness quantum Merlin-Arthur proof systems can achieve perfect completeness. That is, ${\QCMA = \QCMA_1}$. This holds under any gate set with which the Hadamard and arbitrary classical reversible transformations can be exactly implemented, \emph{e.g.}, ${\{\textrm{Hadamard, Toffoli, NOT}\}}$. The proof is quantumly nonrelativizing, and uses a simple but novel quantum technique that \emph{additively} adjusts the success probability, which may be of independent interest.

Inkarnasi: Perwujudan Kasih Allah yang Membela, Membebaskan, dan Mengangkat Martabat Manusia
Authors: Parhusip Parsaoran
Published: March 2021

In Christianity, incarnation marks the culmination of the manifestation of God’s love in the world. Through the historical presence of Jesus Christ in the world, salvation is made possible. The salvation of human beings not only addresses worldly issues, but also restores their inner dignity as God’s creation. The Christian doctrine of incarnation gives hope to those who are in the situation of oppression, suffering, and injustice. The presence of Jesus Christ through the incarnation realises God’s love in defending, saving, liberating, and elevating human dignity. This article sees incarnation as  an event in which God’s act of love is experienced by human beings. This event needs to be echoed by the Church today in its mission to proclaim the Kingdom of God. The event of incarnation brings the image of the Church as God’s people who are liberated while still in pilgrimage on earth.

Published: March 2021

Most of pregnant women have a low vitamin D content, which undoubtedly negatively affects the course of pregnancy and the quality of health of newborn children. Vitamin D is involved in the implantation process, placental function and epigenetic programming of the fetus. Low vitamin D supply affects fetal and newborn development and health in childhood and adulthood. Purpose of the study: comparative analysis of the health of newborns depending on the level of vitamin D during gestation. Research materials: venous blood of women and blood from the umbilical cord of newborns. The method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using BIOMEDICAGRUPPE (Germany) kits was used to determine the level of vitamin D. A comparative analysis of the quality of health of newborns was carried out depending on the level of vitamin D in the venous blood of pregnant women. The study revealed that the low content of vitamin D in the blood of the umbilical cord is due to the low supply of vitamin D in the mother's blood. An insufficient level of vitamin D was revealed in pregnant women who did not take vitamin D preparations. with a lower body weight and with a lower Apgar score, with a large number of perinatal complications - this confirms the important role of vitamin D supply in the functioning of the mother−placenta−fetus system.
COLOUR AND HEALING
Authors: Kothari Saroj , Jahagirdar Deepak
Published: March 2021

The effects of colour on life have been of great significance to early human beings, whose very existence was governed by light and darkness. Most living things appear to be vitalized by the bright reds, oranges, and yellows of daylight and calmed and rejuvenated by the blues, indigos, and violets of the night (Graham, 1998). The story of colour is almost the story of civilization itself. Man’s love of colour is as old as his time on earth, and it is apparent in his early pottery and art. “Colour acts upon the human body; it is the key touched by man to obtain the appropriate vibration from his creative spirit” (Kandinsky 1914). All nature was coloured and ancient man tried to emulate it, copy it, and symbolize it.
COLOURIMAGERY IN THE HAIKU POEMS OF IMAGISTS POETS
Authors: Sharma Manisha
Published: March 2021

Imagism was a movement in early 20th century Anglo-American poetry that favoured precision of imagery and clear, sharp language. Imagists stressed on the direct treatment of the subject matter and strictly adhered to the rule that even a single word was not used unnecessarily. Imagists used the exact word instead of decorative words and rejected most 19th century poetry as cloudy verbosity. Imagist poets were influenced by Japanese Haiku, poems of 17 syllables which usually present only two juxtaposed images. Ezra Pound has made a conscious study of the Japanese Haiku. According to Pound, Japanese make a wonderful use of Haiku where they usually use a single image. A haiku is a haiku because all the images it conveys occur simultaneously in a person's present perceptions of the world. Ezra Pound is one the major exponents of imagist school who gave systematic theory of modernism. Ezra Pound's In a Station of the Metro is regarded as a fine specimen of Haiku. Pound recalls that once he stepped out of a "metro", train at La Concorde, and saw suddenly a beautiful face, and then another and another, and then a beautiful child's face, and then another beautiful woman. Throughout the day, Pound attempted to find words as worthy and as lovely as that sudden emotion. To his mind came an equation which was not in speech but in little sploches of colour. This feeling was the beginning of a language in colourfor Pound. Pound further elaborates that to express this kind of emotion he might find a new school of painting that would speak only by arrangements in colours. To substantiate his arguments, Pound expounds his view in Vorticism.
COLOR COMBINATION IN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DECORATION

Published: March 2021

"Color is a quality of light" that the eyes see. Colors are closely related to human life. Every beautiful thing affects a man's heart and emotions. Colors have the same importance in decoration as salt in food. Just as the food fades without salt, similarly the imagination of the interior and exterior of the house without colors is meaningless. The effect of colors can enlarge, shrink, heat, and cool the room. Color can create a dull atmosphere, making simple decorations look gorgeous. ‘‘रंग प्रकाश का एक गुण है’’ जिन्हें आंखे देखती हैं। रंगों का मानव जीवन से घनिष्ठ सम्बंध है। प्रत्येक सुंदर वस्तु मनुष्य के ह्रदय और भावनाओं को प्रभावित करती है। सजावट में रंगों का वही महत्व है जो भोजन में नमक का। जिस तरह बगैर नमक के भोजन फीका हो जाता है उसी तरह बगैर रंगों के घर की आंतरिक एवं बाह्रय सज्जा की कल्पना ही व्यर्थ है। रंगों का प्रभाव कमरे को बड़ा कर सकता है, छोटा कर सकता है, गरम कर सकता है ठंडा कर सकता है। रंग नीरस वातावरण को उल्लासमय बना सकता है, साधारण सजावट को भव्य बना सकता है।

On types of reported speech in English and Serbian newspaper discourse
Authors: VUJEVIĆ ĐURIC Vera
Published: March 2021

The paper aims to investigate and classify certain types of reported speech in English and Serbian newspaper discourse. After a short account of the most relevant theoretical reflections related to the phenomenon of reported speech, the paper presents an exemplified classification of the types of reported speech present in English and Serbian newspapers, as well as a description of their potential functions. Predominant forms of reported speech are direct and indirect speech, which can be explained by the overall tendency of newspapers to present a valid and objective representation of actual events. Other less frequently found types of reported speech are free indirect and free direct speech, yet their usage differs between English and Serbian. Although the mentioned types of reported speech are rare, the fact that they do appear occasionally raises the issue of the functions they are supposed to perform and the effect they are supposed to have on the reader.

Published: March 2021

Zakat is an alternative that can be utilized in poverty reduction. Zakat is expected to minimize the income gap between the rich and the poor. Therefore, zakat management organizations are required to become accountable institutions. This is because funds managed by the zakat management organization are people's funds. This study aims to determine the implementation of accountability in National Zakat Agency (NZA) Agam Regency. The accountability principle used is the principle stated by the Humanitarian Forum Indonesia (HFI) and the Public Interest Research Advocacy Center (PIRAC). Data is collected through interviews, document review and observation. Analysis of the data used is thematic analysis. The results showed that NZA of Agam Regency had implemented a good management of testes. However, the application of the principle of accountability has not been maximized so that it still needs to be improved. It is expected that NZA of Agam Regency can maximize the application of the principle of accountability in the future.

Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Mikrohidro (PLTMh) dapat menjadi solusi alternatif pemerataan aliran listrik di berbagai daerah yang tidak terjangkau oleh PLN. PLTMh umumnya dikelola secara swadaya oleh masyarakat yang berada disekitar PLTMh tersebut. Akan tetapi, jika PLTMh yang tidak dikelola dengan baik, akan mengakibatkan PLTMh tidak berfungsi karena ketiadaan pendanaan untuk menutupi biaya operasional PLTMh, terutama biaya pemeliharaan turbin. Oleh karena itu, pengurus PLTMh perlu diberikan pelatihan tentang pengelolaan keuangan dan dibuatkan sebuah aplikasi pengelolaan keuangan yang dapat membantu pengurus dalam pelaporan keuangannya.

Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Mikro Hidro (PLTMH) Korong Wonorejo, Kenagarian Lubuk Gadang, Kecamatan Sangir, Kabupaten Solok Selatan, Sumatera Barat merupakan sebuah PLTMh yang didirikan atas keinginan warga desa Wonorejo untuk memiliki listrik di daerahnya. Saat ini, pengurus PLTMh Wonorejo melakukan pencatatan transaksi secara manual. Hal ini mengakibatkan pengurus PLTMh tidak dapat menyediakan informasi keuangan yang bersifat real time. Setelah dilakukan survey awal untuk melihat pencatatan yang dilakukan, dirancangkanlah sebuah aplikasi databse keuangan dengan menggunakan Microsoft Access 2010. Diharapkan setelah menggunakan aplikasi ini, pengurus dapat menyiapkan pelaporan keuangan dengan lebih cepat dan mudah dan dari segi penyimpanan data menjadi lebih rapi dan efisien.

Background: Due to its adverse outcomes and thromboembolic complications, early detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) is advisable in the general population. This study aims to compare the diagnostic ability of two distinct method in smartphone application format, namely : AliveCor KardiaMobile and FibriCheck.

Methods: This study was conducted in Mohammad Hospital General Hospital Palembang with convenience sampling of 170 participants aged 18 years or older. The subjects underwent Fibricheck and KardiaMobile recordings followed by 12 lead electrocardiogram read by board-certified cardiologist as the diagnostic standard.

Results: After the exclusion of previous pacemaker implantation (n=7), 163 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 51±15 years with gender distribution of 74.8% men and 25.2% women. Most of the subjects were asymptomatic (87.1%) with mean blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg. The Fibricheck readings showed sensitivity of 73% and specificity of 93%, meanwhile Kardiamobile was able to detect AF with sensitivity of 77% and specificity of 98%. 

Conclusion: In our study, KardiaMobile demonstrated overall greater sensitivity and specificity when compared to FibriCheck. However, KardiaMobile requires an external metal sensor that must be puchased separately. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to directly compare both methods in the Indonesian population.

Authors: Fauzan Galang
Published: March 2021

This research is normative juridical research that uses a statutory approach. The government has issued its latest policy, namely, law number 11, the year 2020, concerning omnibus law, which regulates foreigner property rights regarding flats. Based on this regulation, a foreigner can have ownership rights over the flats. However, it results in problems because a nationality principle is regulated in Indonesian Land Law, prohibiting foreigners from having ownership rights. In Minister of agricultural regulation held that foreigners can only own flats unit based on usage rights. The result of this study, a foreigner, can have an apartment through the transfer of ownership such as buying and selling, grants, auctions, and so on, but it is only a right to use, not an ownership right. Foreigners who wish to own an apartment unit must meet the requirements and restrictions to maintain and prioritize Indonesian citizens’ interests.Keywords: Flats, Foreigner, Omnibus Law.
THE SPECIFICITY OF INTERACTION OF JOURNALISTS WITH THE PUBLIC IN COVERAGE OF PUBLIC EVENTS ON SOCIAL TOPICS
Authors: Zinenko Olena
Published: March 2021

Consideration of aspects of the functioning of mass media in society requires a comprehensive approach based on universal media theory. The article presents an attempt to consider public events in terms of a functional approach to understanding the media, proposed by media theorist Dennis McQuayl in the theory of mass communication. Public events are analyzed, on the one hand, as a complex object of journalistic reflection and, on the other hand, as a situational media that examines the relationship of agents of the social and media fields in the space of communication interaction. Taking into account philosophical approaches to the interpretation of the concept of event, considering its semantic spectrum, specificity of use and synonyms in the Ukrainian language, a working definition of the concept of public event is given. Based on case-analysis of public events, In accordance with the functions of the media the functions of public events are outlined. This is is promising for the development of study on typology of public events in the context of mass communication theory. The realization of the functions of public events as situational media is illustrated with such vivid examples of cultural events as «Gogolfest» and «Book Forum in Lviv». The author shows that a functional approach to understanding public events in society and their place in the space of mass communication, opens prospects for studying the role of media in reflecting the phenomena of social reality, clarifying the presence and quality of communication between media producers and media consumers.

Published: March 2021

With COVID-19 considered by many experts to be endemic, the likelihood of persistent and incomparable academic and social-emotional disruption for school-aged children is extraordinary. School professionals have also been adversely impacted. Many children and families, prior to the pandemic, dealt with enduring adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)

including domestic turbulence and financial, food, and housing insecurity. The disruption of the past two school years, and the possibility of ongoing school disruption, exacerbates these challenges. The recommendations herein are designed to address the expected long-term effects of the ongoing pandemic within the educational setting.
Coordination among Stakeholders in Planning and Implementing Professional Development for Teachers: A Much-needed Element in Rural Pakistan
Authors: Nawab Ali
Published: March 2021

Given the
importance of continuing Professional Development (PD) for teachers and the
government’s lack of capacity, a number of Non-Governmental Organizations
(NGOs) have intervened in rural Pakistan to provide teachers with PD
opportunities. This research explored the nature of coordination among the key
stakeholders in planning and implementing PD opportunities for teachers. Using
qualitative approach and focus group interviews, data were collected from
teachers, school leaders, district education officials and representatives of
PD providers. The findings indicated a lack of coordination among the relevant
stakeholders in designing and delivery of PD programs. The lack of coordination
not only results in overlapping programs and less effective use of existing
resources but also leads to conflicting expectations from teachers. Drawing on
the experience of the relevant stakeholders, this paper suggests a model of
coordination to effectively design and implement PD programs for teachers in
rural Pakistan.
The Portrayal of Muslim Women in Western Media. A Content Analysis of the New York Times and The Guardian
Authors: Kasirye Faiswal
Published: March 2021

Women
in general have been marginalized and represented with all sorts of images in
the media. Specifically, when it comes to how muslim women are pictured
especially in the western media, there have been different portrayals that
researchers have come across during their multitudes of research studies. The
present study is another addition to the already available literature on how
muslim women are portrayed in the western media by content analyzing the
portrayals in the New York times and the Guardian of the United Kingdom. In
particular, the study seeks to examine the ways in which Muslim Women are portrayed
in the New York Times and the Guardian’s news coverage as well as determining
the frames that the two news organizations use in portraying Muslim women in
coverage of their news stories regarding their affairs. The study adopted a
qualitative content analysis and uses the framing theory to guide the discovery
of the findings. 49 stories portraying muslim women in the different ways were discovered
after perusing through the two online news organizations. The findings of the
study indicate that muslim women in the two sampled news media are portrayed as
terrorists specifically because of their dress code where on several occasions
the news organizations refer to them as Al-Qaida’s and extremists in the way
they practice their religion. Therefore, the major portrayal of muslim women
lies on the negative aspects that are reported in the organization’s media
stories. In addition, among the dominant themes in the two news media regarding
the way the frame their stories while reporting on muslim women include being financially
oppressed, terrorists, extremists, un educated, house wives and sexual objects
for men. In the end, framing theory is also supported in the study.
Síntomas Neurológicos por Covid-19, ¿en realidad son frecuentes?
Authors: Martínez de los Santos César Alejandro , Manrique-Carmona Luisa , Mejia-Mantilla Jorge
Published: March 2021

Antecedentes: En diciembre de 2019, una neumonía de causa desconocida, derivó en la detección del nuevo SARS-CoV-2 con un aumento alarmante de casos en todo el mundo e importantes desafíos críticos para la salud pública. Además de los signos y síntomas clínicos descritos inicialmente, existen informes sobre un posible potencial neuroinvasivo del SARS-CoV-2 y complicaciones neurológicas asociadas, aunque parece ser un fenómeno poco común.
Objetivos: Analizar la frecuencia de los síntomas neurológicos asociados a Covid-19.
Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, de revisión bibliográfica mediante búsqueda no sistemática de palabras clave relacionadas con Covid-19, neurotropismo y síntomas neurológicos reportados en la literatura de Enero de 2020 a Octubre 2020.
Resultados: El numero de pacientes con este tipo de complicaciones comparado con el número de pacientes infectados y hospitalizados pudiera ser relativamente baja y algunos de los síntomas neurológicos asociados pudieran estar más relacionados con el impacto sistémico e indirecto del SARS‐CoV‐2 en el cerebro que con una invasión parenquimatosa.
Conclusiones: Aunque hay informes de complicaciones neurológicas en pacientes con Covid-19, no se sabe con certeza si el SARS-CoV-2 es neurotrópico en humanos. Aun falta aclarar si la posible invasión del SARS‐CoV-2 es parcialmente responsable de la insuficiencia respiratoria aguda de los pacientes, así como demostrar la asociación de síntomas neurológicos con la presencia de SARS‐CoV‐2 dentro del SNC. El análisis oportuno y el aislamiento del virus en el SNC, es crucial para establecer el espectro neurológico del virus, los mecanismos fisiopatológicos subyacentes y sus posibles secuelas neurológicas a largo plazo.
When the US far-right sneezes, the European far-right catches a cold. Quasi-experimental of electoral contagion from Spain
Authors: Turnbull-Dugarte Stuart James , Rama José
Published: March 2021

Does the electoral defeat of a far-right party abroad influence support for far-right parties at home? By exploiting the quasi-experimental setting provided by the coincidental timing of Donald Trump’s 2020 electoral defeat with the Spanish Sociological Study’s monthly barometer data collection, we provide robust causal evidence to show that far-right’s electoral loss in the US had a negative contagious spillover effect on support for the Spanish far-right. Empirically we estimate treatment effects based on the as good as random exposure to the electoral results, as well as regression discontinuity models to isolate the causal impact of Donald Trump’s electoral defeat on support for Spain’s new far-right party, VOX. Our results - which are robust to various modelling approaches including covariate adjustment, regional fixed effects, placebo issues and nearest-neighbour matching - demonstrate that Trump’s defeat to Joe Biden had a sizeable negative effect on support for VOX. The contagion effect is substantive: equal to 3-5 percentage-points among the general population and 8-11 percentage-points among right-wing voters. Our findings make an important contribution to the broader literature on electoral behaviour as they indicate that the electoral success of ideologically symmetrical parties abroad plays a role in understanding a party's domestic success.
