Are women mayors more effective in reducing the crime rate? Sharp regression discontinuity evidence from Peru
Authors: Arela Bobadilla Ronal Wilfredo , Riesco Lind Gustavo Alfredo
Published: February 2021

Did women mayors improve local security in their districts as compared to their male counterparts? Our analysis is focused on the impacts that women mayors had on the delinquency rate in Peru between 2015 and 2017. We apply sharp regression discontinuity (SRD) on official government data to estimate impacts. Despite the relatively small number of districts with female mayors, SRD passed all required assumptions and falsification tests. Our results indicate that female leadership in municipalities can reduce delinquency rate in 9 cases per 1,000 inhabitants in Peruvian districts, starting from the second year of the 4-year mandatory period. These findings complement those in recent literature that emphasize the role of women in public management.

Authors: Вдовенко І.С.
Published: February 2021

В умовах нестабільного ринкового середовища зростає роль ефективності управління фінансами підприємств через застосування дієвих фінансових механізмів розвитку підприємств аграрного сектору. Проаналізовано основні фінансові механізми розвитку підприємств галузі сільського господарства, визначено їх особливості та недоліки. Встановлено, що запроваджена система фінансування державної підтримки агропромислового комплексу не забезпечує визначеного на законодавчому рівні сприяння життєдіяльності аграрних підприємств, їх конкурентоспроможності на внутрішньому й зовнішньому ринках, гарантування продовольчої безпеки, посилення соціального захисту сільського населення переважно через недосконалість наявних механізмів та небажання самих аграріїв користуватися ними. Визначено стримуючі фактори кредитування аграрних підприємств та розвитку агрострахування, що унеможливлює поліпшення їх фінансового забезпечення та ефективного управління ризиками в аграрному секторі задля нарощення потенціалу їх динамічного розвитку. Ефективність фінансових механізмів забезпечення розвитку аграрного сектору економіки залежить від правильно сформованої фінансової політики окремо взятого підприємства та держави загалом, що сприяє збігу економічних інтересів аграрного підприємства та держави.

Published: February 2021

The digital transformation of Russian universities, responding to the challenges and requirements of the new technological order, supposes the formation of an informative and educational environment, including digital infrastructure and technologies that transform the activities of the university in accordance with the conditions and requirements of the digital economy. Today, 20 leading universities are involved in the development and testing of the “digital university” model, which have included digital transformation modules in the strategic development programs and use project activities as the main tool for organizing the basic processes of RPS implementation. However, program presents a business model and there is practically no financial model that interprets the ratio of costs and benefits from digitalization projects. The financial outline of the university’s digital transformation strategy proposed in the study proves the feasibility of developing project financing in the field of higher education and makes it possible to form information-resource and financial models of basic projects of the university’s digital transformation strategy.

Published: February 2021

We have reprocessed a set of observations of 75 bright, unidentified, steep-spectrum polarized radio sources taken with the Green Bank 43 m telescope to find previously undetected sub-millisecond pulsars and radio bursts. The (null) results of the first search of these data were reported by Schmidt et al.. Our reprocessing searched for single pulses out to a dispersion measure (DM) of 1000 pc cm−3 which were classified using the Deep Learning based classifier fetch. We also searched for periodicities at a wider range of DMs and accelerations. Our search was sensitive to highly accelerated, rapidly rotating pulsars (including sub-millisecond pulsars) in compact binary systems as well as to highly dispersed impulsive signals, such as fast radio bursts. No pulsars or astrophysical burst signals were found in the reprocessing.

The exceptionally favorable close approach of Jupiter-family comet 46P/Wirtanen in 2018 December enabled characterization of its primary volatile composition with exceptionally high spatial resolution and sensitivities using the iSHELL spectrograph at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility on Maunakea, HI. We sampled emissions from H2O, HCN, C2H2, NH3, C2H6, and CH3OH on UT 2018 December 21 using two instrumental settings that spanned the 2.9–3.6 μm spectral region. We also obtained a sensitive 3σ upper limit for H2CO and for the rarely studied molecule HC3N. We report rotational temperatures, production rates, and mixing ratios (relative to H2O as well as to C2H6). We place our results in context by comparing them with other comets observed at near-IR wavelengths. We also compare our results with those obtained using the NIRSPEC-2 spectrograph on Keck II on UT December 17 and 18 and with results obtained from iSHELL on other dates during the same apparition. Within 1–2σ uncertainty, production rates obtained for all molecules in this work were consistent with those obtained using NIRSPEC-2 except H2O, indicating low-level variability on a timescale of days. Mixing ratios with respect to H2O in 46P/Wirtanen were consistent with corresponding values from NIRSPEC-2 within the uncertainty with the exception of CH3OH, which yielded a higher ratio on December 21. Our measurements afforded a high temporal resolution that spanned ∼2/3 of the rotational period of 46P/Wirtanen, enabling us to test short-term variability in the production rates of H2O and HCN due to rotational effects. Both H2O and HCN production rates showed similar temporal variability, resulting in nearly constant HCN/H2O.
Urinary Extracellular Vesicles as Biomarkers of Kidney Disease
Authors: Sun In O
Published: February 2021

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound vesicles produced and released into the extracellular fluid by cells under physiological and stressful conditions. They play a role as intracellular communicators by carrying and delivering biomolecules, such as proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids. Urinary EVs have gained important recognition as potential diagnostic biomarkers in renal disease, as they can originate from diverse cell types, including glomerular podocytes, tubular epithelial cells, or endothelial cells. Accumulating evidence has emphasized the feasibility of using EVs as biomarkers for diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic purposes in several forms of renal disease, such as acute kidney injury, glomerulonephritis, and renal transplantation. In this review, we introduce recent studies that attempt to identify urinary EVs as candidate biomarkers for human kidney diseases and consider their potential implications as a therapeutic option in significant kidney diseases.

Published: February 2021

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related kidney disease is a chronic immune-mediated fibro-inflammatory disorder characterized by multiple organ infiltration with IgG4-positive plasma cells, storiform fibrosis, and obliterative phlebitis or tumefactive lesions. Previous studies have explored IgG4-related kidney disease, increasing our understanding of its clinical manifestations, and pathological and radiologic findings. However, IgG4-related kidney disease can be misdiagnosed since it mimics malignancies. We report a case of a 77-year-old Korean man diagnosed with IgG4-related kidney disease with membranous proliferative glomerulonephritis, presenting with a renal pelvic mass suspected of being malignant.

Published: February 2021

Ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease, often exhibits extra-intestinal manifestations including various dermatological problems. Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a painful ulcerative cutaneous disorder characterized by the development of rapidly enlarging nodules. The lesion may become aggravated when ulcerative colitis is active, and it commonly affects the extensor surfaces of the lower extremities but rarely the upper extremities, face, periauricular area, anterior chest, back, or buttocks. We encountered a rare case of PG of the chest wall near the left breast, on the face and pretibial area of a male patient with ulcerative colitis. He had not undergone breast surgery and had no history of trauma. The lesion and symptoms were successfully treated by steroid and mesalazine; there was no need for surgery or more potent drugs.
Traveling wave fronts in a diffusive and competitive Lotka-Volterra system
Authors: Du Zengji , Yan Shuling , Zhuang Kaige
Published: February 2021

In this paper, we consider a two-species competitive and diffusive system with nonlocal delays. We investigate the existence of traveling wave fronts of the system by employing linear chain techniques and geometric singular perturbation theory. The existence of the traveling wave fronts analogous to a bistable wavefront for a single species is proved by transforming the system with nonlocal delays to a six-dimensional system without delay.

Published: February 2021

COVID-19 can be associated with varying degrees of cutaneous lesions. Although these manifestations were rare, they can be considered as a specific symptom of COVID-19. Here, we present 3 patients for whom the diagnosis of COVID-19 was made by RT-PCR and a few days after the onset of systemic symptoms, papular cutaneous lesions appeared and on average after 6 days, the lesions started to disappear without any specific treatments. Demographic and clinical features of the 3 patients are summarized in Table 1.
Remote Inspection of a FPSO Unit Crude Oil Tank whilst still Producing
Authors: Comley Andrew , Ross Campbell , Moir Steve
Published: February 2021

In 2020, with the unit still producing a crude oil storage tank on the Bumi Armada owned and operated Armada Kraken FPSO was successfully inspected by Texo using a UAVS flown from outside the tank. This type of truly remote survey significantly reduces the risk to personnel, the survey time and the survey cost, whilst maintaining a survey standard that is close to that achieved by personnel entering the tank and utilising scaffolding.

Lessons learnt in the following areas are discussed:
• Detailed Scope of Work value, including potential & actual anomaly handling.
• Careful pre-mobilisation briefing of the project team and Class surveyor.
• Engagement with Bumi Armada personnel, onshore and offshore, and the Texo project team.
• Engagement with DNVGL to enable the inspection to be Verification & Class credited.
• Development by Texo of project specific procedures based on onshore trials.
• Tank cleanliness and cleaning.
Quelle place institutionnelle pour l’authenticité ?
Authors: Richet Bertrand
Published: February 2021

Nous nous proposons d’explorer les singularités de l’authenticité, éclairées par les textes officiels et par l’expérience des quelque 300 visites effectuées depuis 2013 dans les classes, de la 6e à la Khâgne, dans des lycées généraux et technologiques et des lycées professionnels (dont les sections internationales), en métropole et en outre-mer. Partout, les questions qui se posent, en deçà et au-delà de l’exactitude des réalisations phonologiques, lexicales et grammaticales, sont celles du statut des discours, de leur contextualisation, de leur exploitation fondatrice, qui est de nature à éclairer un sens qui se construit et se déconstruit en s’incarnant, mais aussi en se comparant, en se transformant. Par-delà le fétichisme d’un modèle unique, ce qui n’empêche aucunement l’exigence, c’est la somme des regards croisés qui contribue à mettre la langue en relief et les discours en perspective.
Les mots du système : la prosodie de l’anglais chez l’apprenant francophone
Authors: Howe Lila , Moore Mauroux Susan
Published: February 2021

Le système de l’anglais oral, notamment au niveau suprasegmental, présente certaines spécificités qui diffèrent du français, représentant ainsi des défis pour l’apprenant. À partir de ce constat, nos travaux s’inspirent de l’hypothèse qu’une conscientisation de ce système leur serait profitable (Trévise « Métalexique » et « Réflexion »). Nous proposons une réflexion sur l’emploi d’une métalangue pertinente dans le contexte de la classe et les enjeux d’une telle démarche. Sont d’abord identifiés les concepts clés du système sur lesquels l’enseignant peut s’appuyer, le choix des termes étant effectué en fonction des compétences visées du CECRL aux différents stades d’apprentissage tels qu’ils sont définis dans les instructions officielles (BO). Se pose ensuite la question de la mise en application effective de l’emploi de la métalangue en classe. Nous présentons alors des activités expérimentées en collège (cycle 4) dans une perspective actionnelle où la métalangue est utilisée, associée à des représentations graphiques et/ou kinésiques, afin d’acquérir des réflexes utiles à l’apprenant dans sa pratique.
Authenticity: an Elusive Aspect of Pronunciation Work
Authors: Schaefer Steven
Published: February 2021

This paper looks at the concept of authenticity in oral discourse, and at English language models used in the classroom. These increasingly feature spontaneous speech rather than "careful speech", a difference largely reflected in stress placement and syllable reduction in English speech rhythm: the suprasegmental structure that has its basis in the acoustic prominence and non-prominence of syllables. The notion of authentic acoustic materials for L2 language models figures officially in the French secondary school syllabus, as reported in a publication by the French Inspection générale (2000). The report calls for a systematic effort to dispel opaqueness in the stream of speech. In order to characterize "authentic speech material", we have briefly examined listening strategies in two popular English language workbooks, Bridges 2e and New Missions 2de. We conclude that effective listening involves gradually presenting authentic discourse as a perception model, leading to better assimilation of native or fluent speech.
Documents authentiques, documents fabriqués : enjeux pour l’enseignement/apprentissage des langues vivantes
Authors: Vogrig Jean-Noël
Published: February 2021

L’utilisation de documents authentiques dans l’enseignement/apprentissage des langues vivantes est très fortement préconisée par les instructions officielles. Cette note de pédagogie montre que, si leur apport est indéniable, leur pertinence est relative aux besoins des apprenants et donc aux objectifs d’enseignement/apprentissage. Par ailleurs, l’utilisation de documents authentiques requiert des compétences langagières et des connaissances culturelles préalables de la part des apprenants mais aussi des enseignants, au risque d’être inappropriée voire contre-productive. En tenant compte de ces exigences, la note donne des exemples concrets de l’intérêt des documents fabriqués, ressources pédagogiques tout à fait pertinentes et complémentaires aux documents authentiques lorsqu’elles sont conçues en fonction d’un public, d’objectifs pédagogiques et de conditions d’enseignement/apprentissage particulières.
Le rythme en anglais oral : considérations théoriques et illustrations sur corpus
Authors: Tortel Anne
Published: February 2021

Il est communément admis que la langue orale représente une difficulté importante pour les francophones apprenant l’anglais. Si la pratique orale et la prise en compte de la prosodie connaissent une progression dans l’apprentissage des langues vivantes, cette avancée reste insuffisante. Cette note, destinée plus particulièrement aux futurs enseignants, soulignera l’importance de la prosodie, et surtout du rythme. Un bref rappel théorique vise à mettre en évidence les principales différences entre le français et l’anglais et ainsi mieux comprendre les difficultés rencontrées par les apprenants francophones. Des exemples de productions extraits de corpus oraux d’apprenants de différents niveaux illustreront les déviations rythmiques typiques produites par les francophones. Nous pointerons ainsi les différents éléments rythmiques devant être travaillés par les apprenants et nous proposerons quelques pistes d’apprentissage et de remédiation.
Framework for 3D Task Design
Authors: Kozlova Iryna
Published: February 2021

This chapter introduces a framework for the 3D task design. The framework proposes that the process of designing language learning tasks for 3D immersive simulated environments also be immersive. The framework guides designers/teachers who are new to 3D worlds through 10 stages of the design process that incorporates designers/teachers' individual work and their collaboration with colleagues and learners. Following Breen's advice, collaboration with colleagues and learners allows for taking into account some possible interpretations of the tasks to help learners interpret the task as closely as possible to its original plan; it also improves task functionality. Developed for designing 3D language learning tasks, this framework also benefits other disciplines and informs the design of tasks implemented in other virtual environments.
Unified Approach to Augmented Reality
Authors: Chebi Hocine
Published: February 2021

The authors present a new and holistic conceptualization on the feeling of presence. This consists of several components. The first two propose a new definition of presence and the identification of a fourth component of presence called presence of action. The third component consists of a unified approach to presence taking into account technological, psychological, and ecological considerations. They have developed a model that identifies the processes leading to the feeling of presence. According to the model, two unconscious phases of judgment condition the emergence of presence. The first judgment concerns the credibility of the environment, which depends on the satisfaction of the user's intellectual and perceptual expectations.

The global pandemic has forced schools across the globe to go to online learning environments. This chapter describes the potential of integrating augmented reality technologies into a virtual immersive workshop model of instruction. Effective utilization and integration of these immersive tools in the workshop model has the potential to develop learners' 21st century skills to be decision makers, problem solvers, lifelong learners, creators, innovators, and to think critically in solving problems.
Delivering Interventions to Individuals With Trauma-Induced Behaviors Through Immersive Virtual Learning Environments
Authors: Ruiz Robin E.
Published: February 2021

The purpose of this chapter is to provide information on immersive virtual interventions for children with behavioral problems. The closing of all schools in March 2020 due to a global pandemic exposed children with negative attributed childhood experiences to more trauma. The mental health services provided by their schools stopped. Although the international community gained insight into how schools were unprepared to educate students during a pandemic, schools were also unable to deliver mental health services. This chapter reviews research on a new generation of tools using XR in learning environments. The goal is to examine educational tools that are used to help trauma (violence, poverty, drugs, abuse) in people, specifically children. This chapter will seek to discuss augmented environments in student learning that may promote self-reflection, mindfulness, and meditation.
Students' Understanding of Climate Change in Prone Areas Exposed to the Impact of Climate Change
Authors: Safitri Bertha Anggraini , Perdinan  , Suratno Ika Rachmawati
Published: February 2021

Information about climate change is useful for children to anticipate the potential impacts of climate change. However, until 2016 in Lembata and North Timor Tengah Districts, Indonesia, which is the vulnerable area exposed to the effects of climate change, it was found that children's understanding is still low, even though 98% claim that they can feel some changes in their environment. The result of this research were obtained by collecting data from student from both regions and were proceeded to find climate change awareness index (CAI). It showed that most students (89%) have more knowledge about climate change, and the rest (11%) do not understand. This condition is influenced by facilities and infrastructure factors, access to books and internet, teacher quality, and gender. It is also known that information about climate change in Indonesian textbooks have not reached 50% according to UNICEF recommendations to provide students with good understanding of climate change.

Published: February 2021

Loss of native tree species constitutes a major socio-economic and ecological problem. Nevertheless, there is scanty data on the role of Sahelian cities in native woody species conservation and climate change mitigation. This study tried to determine the native woody diversity, structure, and carbon stocks in Niamey, and Maradi, Niger. The study used the plot method to inventory dendrometric variables based on a stratified sampling approach from peri-urban areas to the built environment. Biodiversity indices and allometric models were used for the data analysis. A total of 63 native woody species representing 47 genera and 24 families were recorded in the overall urban forests in two cities. In Niamey, 46 species belonging to 35 genera and 19 families were recorded while in Maradi, 50 species, 41 genera, and 19 families were inventoried. Fabaceae was the dominant families in both cities with equal richness (13 species).
