Modern methods of assessing creditworthiness of borrowers – small and medium business entities
Authors: Burov Pavel Dmitrievich
Published: April 2020

The subject of this research is the methods of assessing creditworthiness of borrowers of small and medium business, which allow assessing the level of risk for the bank. The author examines the dynamics of lending to small and medium businesses over the last decade in the Russian Federation, and analyzes the level of bad debt in the small and medium business loans credit portfolio. Critical analysis is conducted on the modern Russian and foreign methods of assessing creditworthiness of borrowers belonging to small and medium business, as well as highlights their merits and flaws. The author concludes on the fact of absence of a universal efficient method of assessing creditworthiness of small and medium business in Russian practice, overlapping of most of the indicators in the examined approaches, accent on qualitative indexes of the assessment of creditworthiness, and presence of subjective factor in the methodologies. The scientific novelty consists in substantiation of the list of absolute and relative indicators with consideration of existing research on this topic, in order to form express assessment of the creditworthiness of small and medium business, the integral indicator of which can be gained on the bases of taxonomic analysis. Improvements to the methodology of assessing creditworthiness of small and medium business can jump start development of lending to entities of small and medium entrepreneurship.

Authors: Jacob Silby , Meenakshi Radhamony , Najad N. , Kurien George
Published: April 2020

Alopecia mucinosa, also called follicular mucinosis, is a rare inflammatory disease affecting the pilosebaceous units in the skin. It presents clinically as follicular papules with or without erythematous scaly plaques and evident hair loss in the absence of other conditions causing alopecia. Histologically, it presents as a deposition of mucopolysaccharides (mucin) within the outer root sheath and sebaceous glands. We present here a case of alopecia mucinosa in a 26-year-old male.

Objectives:

The aims of the study were (1) to document the demography and clinical profile of patients with leprosy at a tertiary referral center from 2009 to 2018. (2) To compare the disease manifestation in children aged 12 years/below and the same in patients above 12 years.

Materials and Methods:

Case records of all patients diagnosed to have leprosy as per the World Health Organization cardinal criteria at our tertiary referral center from 2009 to 2018 were included in this study. The findings recorded in those aged 12 years/below were compared with those above 12 years using Pearson’s Chi- square test.

Results:

A total of 705 patients who attended our institution during the 10 year period were diagnosed to have leprosy. Six hundred and sixty-four (94.2%) were above 12 years of age and 41 patients (5.8%) were aged 12 years or below. Lepromatous spectrum cases, pure neuritic cases, Grade 2 disability, and lepra reactions were not documented in any of the patients aged 12 years or below which were contrary to the observations in those above 12 years. The differences were found to be statistically significant.

Limitations:

Retrospective design and small number of childhood cases were the main limitations of the study.

Conclusion:

Clinical presentation of leprosy in children differs from that in adults. Detection of disease in childhood offers an opportunity to cure the disease with less risk of developing some of the important disease and therapy-related complications.
Pregnancy prevention programs for medications used in dermatology
Authors: Simin Muhammed Kutty , Nagesh Minu
Published: April 2020

Certain drugs used in dermatology carry a high risk of teratogenicity after maternal as well as paternal exposure. The birth of an offspring with impairments or disabilities is an emotionally distressing situation for parents, often resulting in lifelong liability for the family as well as the society. An obligation to prevent such pregnancies exposed to teratogenic agents has resulted in the development of pregnancy prevention programs. United States Food and Drug Administration in cooperation with drug manufacturers has developed a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies for a biologic or a drug to ensure that its benefit outweighs the risk. These complex but comprehensive programs were established to ensure that fetal exposure to teratogenic agents does not occur by controlling their prescription and usage. This article will review the organization, application and ethical issues raised by the mandatory standardized drug distribution programs for drugs used in dermatology, namely, thalidomide, isotretinoin, and acitretin.
Oxidant Scavenging Properties of Urea Enable Selective Oxidation of Pharmaceuticals and Suppression of Oxyhalide Formation during Electrolysis of Fresh Human Urine

Published: April 2020

Many pharmaceutical compounds are excreted unchanged or as active metabolites that pass through conventional wastewater treatment processes, presenting a risk to aquatic ecosystems and humans. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are able to degrade these compounds but often lead to the formation of oxidation byproducts (OBPs) including chlorate, perchlorate, and halogenated organics at hazardous concentrations. Point-source remediation is desirable as it provides an avenue to destroy pharmaceuticals before dilution with wastewater. However, the high concentration of urea and chloride in fresh human suggests low selectivity of pharmaceutical oxidation and high OBP formation are likely. Here, we show that the high urea content of fresh human urine suppresses the formation of oxychloride byproducts by inhibiting formation of HOCl/OCl‒ during electrolysis, while still enabling the oxidation of pharmaceuticals by •OH due to the slow rate of urea oxidation by hydroxyl radicals. This (primarily indirect) electrochemical oxidation scheme is shown to degrade cyclophosphamide and sulfamethoxazole with surface-area-to-volume-normalized pseudo-first-order observed rate constants greater than 0.08 cm/min in authentic fresh human urine matrixes. It results in two orders-of-magnitude decrease in pharmaceutical concentrations in 2 hours while generating three orders-of-magnitude lower oxychloride byproduct concentrations in synthetic fresh urine as compared to synthetic hydrolyzed aged urine matrixes. Importantly, this proof-of-principle shows that simple and safe electrochemical methods can be used for point-source-remediation of pharmaceuticals in fresh human urine (before dilution with other wastewater) without formation of significant oxychloride byproducts.
Self-Adjusting Binding Pockets Enhance H₂ and CH₄ Adsorption in a Uranium-Based Metal–Organic Framework
Authors: Halter Dominik P. , Klein Ryan A. , Boreen Michael A. , Trump Benjamin A. , Brown Craig M. , Long Jeffrey R.
Published: April 2020

A new, air-stable, permanently porous uranium(IV) metal–organic framework U(bdc)2 (1, bdc2− = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) was synthesized and its H2 and CH4 adsorption properties were investigated. Low temperature adsorption isotherms confirm strong adsorption of both gases in the framework at low pressures. In situ gas-dosed neutron diffraction experiments with different D2 loadings revealed a rare example of cooperative framework contraction (ΔV = −7.8%), triggered by D2 adsorption at low pressures. This deformation creates two optimized binding pockets for hydrogen (Qst = −8.6 kJ/mol) per pore, in agreement with H2 adsorption data. Analogous experiments with CD4 (Qst = −24.8 kJ/mol) and N,N-dimethylformamide as guests revealed that the binding pockets in 1 adjust by selective framework contractions that are unique for each adsorbent, augmenting individual host-guest interactions. Our results suggest that the strategic combination of binding pockets and structural flexibility in metal–organic frameworks holds great potential for the development of new adsorbents with an enhanced substrate affinity.
Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Reveals New Active Sites in Atomically Dispersed Pt1/TiO2 Catalysts
Authors: Humphrey Nicholas , Bac Selin , Mallikarjun Sharada Shaama
Published: April 2020

We present a multi-scale modeling study of atomically dispersed Pt on the (110) surface of rutile TiO2. Using density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), we probe the dynamic evolution of the catalytic surface at elevated temperatures. We identify metal atom diffusion as well as support atom mobility as important dynamical phenomena that enable the formation of new active sites. Among the eight new dynamically formed sites that are distinct from prior experimental and DFT reports, two sites exhibit anionic, near-linear O−Pt−O configurations. Such configurations are neither intuitive nor easily located using static methods such as DFT. Therefore, DFT alone is not sufficient to obtain a complete, dynamic description of the catalytic surface. Furthermore, the near-linear O−Pt−O sites exhibit CO binding characteristics that are markedly distinct from their parent sites, with possibly higher activity towards CO oxidation and water-gas shift reactions. Based on the wide range of adsorbate affinities exhibited by the DFT and AIMD-generated sites in this study, our aim going forward is to probe site-sensitivity of water-gas shift kinetics with these catalysts.
Using Artificial Intelligence System for Pattern Identification Based on Features Extracted from Gel Electrophoresis Images
Authors: Sarmad M. Hadi  , Al-Faiz M Z  , Ali A. Ibrahim
Published: April 2020

Artificial intelligence has many branches of image processing-based applications in terms of classification and identification, error back-propagation neural network is a great match for such applications as long as linear vector quantization (LVQ) and pattern recognition is another great match for recognition of digital images based on their features. The dataset used in this paper are gel electrophoresis images where 6 features had been extracted from the images and used as input to a neural network for learning and then checked for recognition purposed and the system managed to recognize all the 6 images. Six features had been used: average, standard deviation, smoothness, skewness, uniformity, and entropy. A tiny error rate where allowed in the recognition program to cover the variation of the dataset and the test data (gel-electrophoresis images). The proposed system had successfully managed to identify all of the learned data in both LVQ and error-back-propagation. Error-back-propagation proved itself as a great tool in terms of learning time compared with LVQ, which was very slow in terms of learning time and recognition.

Published: April 2020

We summarize the results from an ongoing survey that asks consumers questions related to the recent coronavirus outbreak, including their expectations for how the economy is likely to be affected by the outbreak and how their own behavior has changed in response to it. The survey began in early March, providing a window into how consumers’ responses have evolved in real time since the early days of the acknowledged spread of COVID-19 in the United States. In updating and charting the survey’s findings on the Cleveland Fed’s website going forward, we seek to inform policymakers and researchers about consumers’ beliefs during a time of high uncertainty and unprecedented policy responses.
DISENTANGLING INDONESIAN BANKING COMPETITION BASED ON BUKU CLASSIFICATION: IMPLICATIONS ON BANK SOUNDNESS
Authors: Wijaya Miryam B.L.S.K. , Lim Charvin , Utama Chandra
Published: April 2020

ABSTRACTCompetition has long been debated as a vital factor determining banking performance and stability. The broad perspectives are divided into two streams, the ‘competition-fragility’ and ‘competition-stability’ view. Banking industry in Indonesia is experiencing consolidation waves as an effort to strengthen capital and enhance intermediation performance. The consolidation, however, inevitably alter the degree of competition. In this study, we propose a detailed assessment of competition effect through disentanglement amongst different bank clusters, particularly with respect to BUKU classification. The separation is done through Fixed Effect Vector Decomposition method, complemented by interaction variables. We found an indication that competition amongst Indonesian banks can be divided into two segments: the first containing BUKU1 and 2, while the latter BUKU3 and 4. Observing 57 banks using monthly data in 2006-2015, our study supports the competition-stability view, suggesting competition has positive influences on bank soundness. Adding more market power to the leader in each segment (BUKU2 and BUKU4, respectively) would have insignificant, if not malign, effect; the opposite for the challenger. Further, aside from competition, we found that interbank interaction promotes soundness.Keywords: competition; bank soundness; fixed effect vector decomposition

Authors: Kinafa A.U. , M.B. Mohammed  , A. Abdulkadir
Published: April 2020

Failure of women to undergo a successful first child delivery is becoming one of the most challenging problem and a major concern to most of our healthcare providers. In this paper, we apply the binary logistic regression analysis to investigate whether age of women at first birth have a relationship with the outcome of their delivery (Success or failure). The data was collected from Gombe Town Maternity and was subjected to analysis. From the result of the analysis, we observed that most of the women at tender age (12-17) are classified to fail (69%) during their first child delivery while most of the women at higher age (19 and above) have a better chance of succeeding during their first parturition. Also, the result shows that the average age at which women ought to conceive successfully is 19 years. The Wald statistics result also shows that the logistic regression model fits the data very well.

Authors: Monta Theerawut , Swierczek Fredric William
Published: April 2020

Cloud computing is emerging as key a technology platform for banking operations globally. In Asia, the progress of cloud application is relatively slow. This paper considers the major factors which influence a bank’s decision to contract with a technology service provider to implement a cloud based strategy. This research study identifies the trends in applying cloud computing in global banking with a focus on banks in Thailand. It will analyze the criteria IT executives in banks use to decide on the selection of technology service providers. Banks require the service provider to meet specific requirements for a cloud implementation project in a bank. A survey approach was used to identify the important criteria IT executives in banks use to select an IT technology provider for cloud applications. The sample included 367 bank IT executives and professionals in Thai and international banks based in Bangkok. SEM was used to analyze the data. Interviews were conducted with 21 IT executives for insights into their decision criteria. Service quality which is based on the conventional SERVQUAL indicators strongly influence the decision to choose a technology service provider. This selection is also influenced by the capability of service provider, their technical capability and the cloud application features. There are few studies in the literature on the decision criteria that banks use to select a provider for cloud computing application.

Concerns-Based Reverse Engineering for Partial Software Architecture Visualization
Authors: Alamin M Hind , Ammar Hany H
Published: April 2020

Recently, reverse engineering (RE) is becoming one of the essential engineering trends for software evolution and maintenance. RE is used to support the process of analyzing and recapturing the design information in legacy systems or complex systems during the maintenance phase. The major problem stakeholders might face in understanding the architecture of existing software systems is that the knowledge of software architecture information is difficult to obtain because of the size of the system, and the existing architecture document often is missing or does not match the current implementation of the source code. Therefore, much more effort and time are needed from multiple stakeholders such as developers, maintainers and architects for obtaining and re-documenting and visualizing the architecture of a target system from its source code files. The current works is mainly focused on the developer viewpoint. In this paper, we present a RE methodology for visualizing architectural information for multiple stakeholders and viewpoints based on applying the RE process on specific parts of the source code. The process is driven by eliciting stakeholdersâ€™ concerns on specific architectural viewpoints to obtain and visualize architectural information related these concerns. Our contributions are three fold: 1- The REÂ methodology is based on the IEEE 1471 standardÂ for architectural description and supports concerns of stakeholderÂ including the end-user and maintainer; 2- It supports the visualization of a particular part of the target system by providing a visual model of the architecturalÂ representationÂ which highlights the main components needed to execute specific functionality of the target system, 3- The methodology also uses architecture styles to organize the visual architecture information. We illustrate the methodology using a case study of a legacy web application system.
Dante eterodosso?
Authors: Bianchi Luca
Published: April 2020

It is frequently assumed that doubts about Dante’s orthodoxy began to circulate in historiography at the beginning of the twentieth century, when his alleged ‘Thomism’ was seriously questioned by Bruno Nardi, who demonstrated that not only in theConvivio, but even in the Monarchia and in theCommedia, one can find themes and ideas inspired by Averroes and by the so-called Latin Averroists. Besides showing that controversies on this point started much earlier, this paper highlights that, whilst a plurality of conceptions of Dante’s ‘heterodoxy’ soon emerged, ‘orthodoxy’ was, and still is, too hastily identified with ‘Thomism’. Moreover, it argues that anachronistic views of the distinction between ‘orthodoxy’ and ‘heterodoxy’, as well as of ‘Thomism’, have to be avoided, and suggests that some passages of Dante’s works where Nardi and his followers detected ‘residuals’ of Averroism have been over-interpreted.
L’Empireo in Dante e la «divina scienza» del Convivio
Authors: Pegoretti Anna
Published: April 2020

Building on recent scholarship, this essay reconsiders Dante’s description of the Empyrean and of divine science in his Convivio (II, III, 8-11 and XIV, 19-20), by emphasising their deep connection and profound otherness in comparison with physical reality and human knowledge. First, it is argued that, in his treatise, Dante describes the Empyrean as a non-material sky. Second, a new appraisal of Dante’s definition of divine science is offered, one which stresses the author’s reference to the words uttered by Christ during the Last Supper, and the role that the whole passage and its medieval exegesis ascribe to the Holy Spirit in clarifying the divine teachings conveyed by the Gospels.

Análisis de núcleos de obsidiana del Holoceno tardío en el centro-oeste de la provincia de Santa Cruz
Authors: Cassiodoro Gisela , Agnolin Agustín , Flores Coni Josefina
Published: April 2020

Los núcleos constituyen uno de los artefactos que permiten estudiar las características del abastecimiento de rocas, el proceso inicial de reducción y la producción de formas base. De este modo, se evalúan las características de la utilización de la obsidiana negra de Pampa del Asador, localizada en el centro-oeste de la provincia de Santa Cruz, durante el Holoceno tardío. Para tal fin se realiza un análisis comparativo de las características de los núcleos de obsidiana negra recuperados en la fuente de aprovisionamiento de Pampa del Asador y en sectores localizados a diferentes distancias de la misma, como la cuenca del lago Salitroso, las mesetas del Guitarra y el Strobel y la cuenca del lago Cardiel. Se considera el grado y tipo de reducción de los núcleos tomando en cuenta variables como frecuencia, estado, dimensiones, tipos de núcleos y presencia de corteza. Se concluye que la distancia a la fuente no explica todos los patrones observados, contribuyendo a la discusión sobre las estrategias involucradas en el transporte y explotación de la obsidiana en una escala espacial amplia.
La obsidiana en la ocupación tardía de Cueva Nacimiento I, Puna de Salta, Argentina (ca. 500 años A.P.)
Authors: Varde María
Published: April 2020

En este trabajo se presenta el análisis del uso de la obsidiana en el conjunto lítico de Cueva Nacimiento 1, en un contexto agropastoril tardío. Los resultados indican que la obsidiana fue un recurso utilizado de una manera que maximizó su aprovechamiento dentro de una estrategia tecnológica mixta de conservación-expeditividad. Lacomparación con las materias primas locales permite afirmar que a pesar de la disponibilidad local de rocas de buena calidad, la frecuencia de obsidiana en el conjunto es predominante, y su uso se orientó a la confección de instrumentos formatizados de alta y baja inversión de energía. Estos resultados plantean la posibilidad de que los grupos que utilizaron la cueva en momentos tardíos hayan formado parte de redes de interacción de amplio alcance de manera persistente. Este acceso relativamente abierto a materiales de fuentes diversas pudo ofrecer la posibilidad de una estrategia tecnológica que combinó artefactos de carácter conservado y otros expeditivos sobre materias primas de excelente calidad.
Aplicación de tecnologías 3D en sitios arqueológicos del valle de Ongamira, Córdoba, Argentina. Fotogrametría en excavaciones y morteros arqueológicos
Authors: Conte Bernarda , Robledo Andrés
Published: April 2020

Se presenta un aporte en la aplicación de nuevas tecnologías digitales dentro de los estudios arqueológicos. Para ello, a partir de tareas de relevamiento y prospección en el valle de Ongamira, se generaron modelos virtuales de morteros localizados en distintos lugares y sobre excavaciones estratigráficas en sitios al aire libre y aleros. Se utilizó la técnica de fotogrametría, con la cual se llevó a cabo el registro de 3 aleros rocosos con evidencias de ocupación, 8 pozos de excavaciones y 5 morteros, de los cuales 4 eran móviles y uno era en la roca base. La aplicación de esta técnica requiere la toma de fotos de forma sistemática en diferentes ángulos. Luego de fotografiar la totalidad del objeto o el rasgo, se realizó un modelo digital empleando los programas VisualSFM y Meshlab. El resultado del uso de estos programas es un modelo virtual tridimensional en el cual nos permitía comprender la estructura del objeto original y sus características. Con el uso de estas herramientas esperamos contribuir al desarrollo de técnicas digitales para la revalorización, el registro, la conservación y difusión de lugares con evidencias de actividades humanas en el pasado.

Box Wing: Aerodynamic experimental study for applications in MAVs
Authors: SIngh Mohit , Aloor Jasmine Jerry , Singh Annanya , Saha Sandeep
Published: April 2020

Advancements in the field of aerial robotics and micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) have increased the demand for high payload capabilities. Closed wing designs like the annular wing, the joined wing, the box wing and spiroid tip devices improve the aerodynamic performance by suppressing the wingtip vortices along with an enhanced lift coefficient. A box wing may be defined as a wing that effectively has two main planes which merge at their ends so that there are no conventional wingtips. We propose the implementation of box wings as the main lifting surface for such systems. Box wings have a potential of generating lift with considerably less induced drag and delayed stall angles than monoplane wings. We study the aerodynamic aspects of a box wing model using wind tunnel tests and numerical simulations. We conducted Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation subjecting the model to a steady flow and later analysed the vortex core using CFD tools. Wind tunnel measurements of the forces were obtained using sting balance. Furthermore, polyester thread tufts and smoke flow visualisation were performed to understand the qualitative behaviour of the scaled model in the open to atmosphere, suction type tunnel. Our results reveal an increase in the lift to drag (L/D) ratio of the wing by 25 % and a delay in the model’s stall angle by +6° compared to a monoplane; implying a lower stalling speed for mini unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and MAVs. These advancements if applied could revolutionize the capabilities of intelligent flying systems by enabling them to carry better sensors, computational units and other payloads as per the mission.

Covid-19: acquired acute porphyria hypothesis
Authors: Abrahams Lianne
Published: April 2020

Pandemic Covid-19 pneumonia, of SARS-CoV-2 aetiology, is of global importance to health systems, national economies and individual civil liberties. Multiple therapeutic and prophylactic agents are currently undergoing clinical trial and, while progress towards a curative agent is promising, the principal limiting factor in public health emergency is time. A pre-existing licensed therapeutic would offer reprieve to international citizens currently enduring the adverse consequences of lockdown policies. This brief communication serves as an update on the initial version of the acquired acute porphyria hypothesis and advocates for direct testing of the hypothesis.
