Inheritance Taxation in a Model with Intergenerational Time Transfers
Authors: Belan Pascal , Moussault Erwan
Published: December 2019

We consider a two-period overlapping generation model with rational altruism à la Barro, where time transfers and bequests are available to parents. Starting from a steady state where public spending is financed through taxation on capital income and labor income, we analyze a tax reform that consists in a shift of the tax burden from capital income tax toward inheritance tax. In the standard Barro model with no time transfer and inelastic labor supply, such a policy decreases steady-state welfare. In our setting, inheritance tax modifies parents’ trade-off between time transfers and bequests. We identify situations where the tax reform increases welfare for all generations. Welfare improvement mainly depends on the magnitude of the effect of higher time transfers on the labor supply of the young.
Design and Analysis of a Hybrid Solar and Vibration Energy Harvester
Authors: Rahman M Shafiqur , Chakravarty Uttam K.
Published: December 2019

The performance of the small-scale stand-alone energy harvesters can be improved by implementing a hybrid energy harvesting technique. This paper aims at presenting the design and characterization of a hybrid energy harvester that can simultaneously harvest energy from mechanical vibration and solar radiation by combining piezoelectric, electromagnetic, electrostatic, and photovoltaic mechanisms. The hybrid device consists of a small high-efficiency solar panel and a bimorph PZT cantilever beam having a cylindrical tip magnet and two sets of capacitors (comb electrodes) attached on two sides of an ASTM 6061 T-6 Aluminum substrate. All the transducing sections of the configuration are interconnected by a smart hybrid electric circuit having a common optimum load resistance, an energy storage, and a microcontroller to generate and store combined power output when subjected to transverse vibration and solar radiation. The initial bias-voltage input required for the electrostatic mechanism is either obtained from the photovoltaic system or taken from the storage through the microcontroller. Results for the maximum power output are obtained at the fundamental resonance frequency of the vibrating cantilever beam. As the hybrid design allows a combined power harvesting method, more power is generated with better conversion efficiency than those obtained by stand-alone mechanisms. In addition to the power calculation, the study includes a stress and fatigue analysis of the cantilever beam using the finite element method to investigate the stress-life criteria of the hybrid structure.
The Brexit as a Forerunner: Monetary Policy, Economic Order and Divergence Forces in the European Union
Authors: Schnabl Gunther , Müller Sebastian
Published: December 2019

The paper analyzes the effects of the increasingly expansionary monetary policies on the economic order in Europe and the European integration process. It is argued that a liberal market order and a tight monetary policy stance shaped in postwar Germany and in United Kingdom have long served as cornerstones for growth, prosperity and social cohesion in Europe. A prolonged loose monetary policy stance of the European Central Bank has undermined these orders, thereby diminishing productivity gains and growth. Combined with negative distribution effects, those monetary policies constitute the breeding ground for divergence forces in the European Union as heralded by the Brexit.
Model analogies between pattern formation in deforming engineering materials & morphogenesis in ageing human brains
Authors: Tsolakis Apostolos C. , Petsos George , Kapetanou Olga , Nikolaidis Ioannis N. , Aifantis Elias C.
Published: December 2019

Mathematical models developed within the material mechanics and material physics communities have been routinely adapted to interpret and further understand physiological and biological processes. The field of biomechanics, in particular, has emerged from a direct application of elasticity and fluid mechanics theories to model cell and tissue behavior, as well as bone fracture and blood flow. On the other hand, Turing’s reaction-diffusion model of morphogenesis for biochemical systems has been adapted to interpret pattern formation in deforming materials. An important aspect, however, that has not been sufficiently examined is to investigate the role of an externally applied or internally developed stress. Another, equally interesting issue that has not been adequately explored, concerns the development of a common effective methodology to analyze signals and images for both humanmade and naturemade systems, especially when differential equations are not available to use for this purpose. The article is an initial modest effort to discuss such common features between nonliving and living materials. It focuses, in particular, to modeling analogies between pattern formation of defects in deforming engineering materials under application of external stress and morphogenesis of cellular structures in ageing brain tissue under development of internal stress.
Mechanical properties of steel and polymer fiber reinforced concrete
Authors: Babaie Reza , Abolfazli Milad , Fahimifar Ahmad
Published: December 2019

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of a number of fiber parameters including fiber type, content and hybridization on strength and ductility of polymer fiber reinforced concrete (PFRC) and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) used mostly in tunneling practices as the primary shotcrete lining. Numerous cylindrical and prismatic beams were casted and undergone various tests in which main previously mentioned fiber traits varied. It was understood that SFRC excels at every mechanical feature in comparison to PFRC; however, such transcendence found predominant in compressive strength but marginal in flexural and tensile strength. Despite being classified under different compressive strength classes (SFRC in the upper and PFRC in the lower class) according to EFNARC, both FRC types fell under a similar flexural class (at 4% of fiber fraction); a result possibly in debt to excellent bonding properties and more slender polymer fibers. Tensile strength of PFRC was measured lower than SFRC. Augmentation of fiber content positively affected mechanical characteristics of FRC at most cases. Hybridization of different fibers at a specific range of fiber mixing proportions was observed to have advantageous impacts on ductility and strength of a more corrosive resistant and cost efficient hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC).
Hydrates of Binary Guest Mixtures: Fugacity Model Development and Experimental Validation
Authors: Kumari Anupama , Khan Shadman Hasan , Misra A. K. , Majumder C. B. , Arora Amit
Published: December 2019

A fugacity-based thermodynamic model for hydrate has been used to determine the equilibrium pressures of hydrate formation. This fugacity-based model uses the PRSV equation of state, which is used to represent the gas phases in the hydrate. The parameters of the model are fitted to the experimental data of binary guest hydrates. The present study is aimed at investigating binary mixtures of {\text{CH}_{4}}–{\text{H}_{2}}S, {\text{C}_{3}}{\text{H}_{8}}–{\text{N}_{2}}, {\text{N}_{2}}–{\text{CO}_{2}}, {\text{CH}_{4}}–i-butane, {\text{C}_{3}}{\text{H}_{8}}–i-butane, {\text{CH}_{4}}–n-butane, {\text{C}_{3}}{\text{H}_{8}}–n-butane, i-butane–{\text{CO}_{2}}, and n-butane–{\text{CO}_{2}} hydrates, which have not been modeled before. Unlike previous studies, the Kihara potential parameters were obtained using the second virial coefficient correlation and the data of viscosity for gases. The fugacity-based model provides reasonably good predictions for most of the binary guest hydrates ({\text{CH}_{4}}–{\text{C}_{3}}{\text{H}_{8}}). However it does not yield good prediction for hydrates of ({\text{CO}_{2}}–{\text{C}_{3}}{\text{H}_{8}}). The transitions of hydrate structure from sI to sII and from sII to sI have been also predicted by this model for binary guest hydrates. The AAD % calculated using the experimental data of natural gas hydrates is only 10 %, which is much lower than the AAD % calculated for the equilibrium data predicted by the VdP-w model.

Published: December 2019

Background

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) serves as a shuttle for electrons from complexes I and II to complex III in the respiratory chain, and has important functions within the mitochondria. Primary CoQ10 deficiency is a mitochondrial disorder which has devastating effects, and which may be partially treated with exogenous CoQ10 supplementation.

Case presentation

A 9-month-old girl patient was referred to our clinic due to growth retardation, microcephaly and seizures. She was the third child of consanguineous parents (first-degree cousins) of Pakistani origin, born at 38 weeks gestation, weighing 2000 g after an uncomplicated pregnancy, and was hospitalized for 3 days due to respiratory distress. She had sustained clonic seizures when she was 4 months old. Physical examination showed microcephaly, truncal hypotonia and dysmorphic features. Metabolic tests were inconclusive. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed cystic appearance of the kidneys. Non-compaction of the left ventricle was detected in echocardiography. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis and brain stem, corpus callosum agenesis, and cortical atrophy. A panel testing of 450 genes involved in inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) was performed that showed a novel frameshift c.384delG (Gly129Valfs*17) homozygous mutation in COQ9. A treatment of 5 mg/kg/day exogenous CoQ10 was started when she was 10 months old, and the dosage was increased to 50 mg/kg/day after the exact diagnosis. No objective neurological improvement could be observed after the adjustment of the drug dosage.

Conclusions

We report a case of CoQ10 deficiency due to a novel COQ9 gene mutation that adds clinical data from a newly diagnosed patient. Our case also outlines the importance of genetic panels used for specific diseases including IEM.
Explaining and tackling the informal economy: an evaluation of competing perspectives
Authors: Williams Colin C
Published: December 2019

This paper provides an evidence-based evaluation of the competing ways of explaining and tackling the informal economy. Conventionally, participants have been viewed as rational economic actors who engage in the informal economy when the benefits outweigh the costs, and thus participation is deterred by increasing the sanctions and/or risks of detection. Recently, however, an alternative social actor approach has emerged viewing participation to result from a lack of vertical trust (i.e., their norms, values and beliefs are not in symmetry with the laws and regulations) and horizontal trust (i.e., they believe many others are non-compliant). Reporting 2,000 face-to-face interviews conducted in Croatia in 2015, only a weak and partial association is found between participation in the informal economy and the perceived level of penalties and risks of detection, but a strong significant association with both the level of vertical and horizontal trust. Those who perceive a larger proportion of the population to be engaged in the informal economy, and those whose norms differ to the laws and regulations, display a significantly greater likelihood of participating in the informal economy. The theoretical and policy implications are then discussed.
Three-year-olds infer polite stance from intonation and facial cues
Authors: Hübscher Iris , Wagner Laura , Prieto Pilar
Published: December 2019

Despite the evidence that infants are sensitive to facial cues and prosody for the detection of emotion, we have contradictory evidence regarding the use of these cues by older preschool and school children when inferring both emotional and politeness stance. This study assessed preschool aged children’s sensitivity to intonational and facial cues signalling a speaker’s polite stance in requestive speech acts with controlled lexical and contextual materials. Thirty-six 3-year-old American English-speaking children performed a forced-choice decision task which investigated whether children at this age use pitch and/or facial cues to infer a speaker’s affective stance in either audio-only, visual-only or audio-visual presentation modalities, when lexical cues are controlled for. Results showed that (a) children at three years can infer a speaker’s polite stance equally well in all three conditions (audio-only, visual-only and audio-visual) and thereby (b) unlike previous research, in the present task both intonation and facial cues are equally strong cues in children’s understanding of a speaker’s polite stance in requestive speech acts. The authors discuss especially the implications of this early use of intonation to detect politeness, relating it to other previous research on children’s ability to infer meaning from pitch.

Strength of Plantar- and Dorsiflexors Mediates Step Regularity During a High Cognitive Load Situation in a Cross-sectional Cohort of Older and Younger Adults
Authors: FallahTafti Farahnaz , Watson Kristen , Boron Julie Blaskewicz , Myers Sara A. , Schmid Kendra K. , Yentes Jennifer M.
Published: December 2019

Background and Purpose:

Completing simultaneous tasks while standing or walking (ie, a high cognitive load situation [HCLS]) is inevitable in daily activities and can lead to interference in task performances. Age-related physical and cognitive changes may confound performance variability during HCLS in older and younger adults. Identification of these confounding effects may reveal therapy targets to maintain optimal physical function later in life. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of increasing the difficulty levels of an additional motor task and restricting visual information, on gait parameters in younger and older adults while considering the effect of cognitive and physical covariates.

Methods:

Fifteen healthy younger and 14 healthy older adults were asked to complete assessments of cognitive function, balance, and strength. They were then asked to walk on a self-paced treadmill with or without carrying a plastic tray. Opaqueness of the tray (vision) and the presence of water in glasses placed on the tray (increasing task difficulty) were varied. Mean, standard deviation, and regularity (sample entropy) of step width and length were compared across conditions and groups using repeated-measures analyses of variance with and without covariate analysis. Only significantly correlated covariates of cognition, balance, and strength were entered into each model.

Results and Discussion:

Older adults had greater step width irregularity compared with younger adults across all conditions when controlling for concentric plantar- and dorsiflexion strength. A decline in strength may likely alter neuromuscular control of gait, specifically control of step width, which has been associated with fall risk in older adults. Adjusting for the same covariates revealed increased regularity of step length, as visual feedback from the feet was restricted. Specifically, step length was more regular while carrying an opaque tray compared with not carrying a tray. Visual restriction was a contributing factor, which led to more predictable gait kinematics, indicating the role of sensory information to enhance the adaptability during walking under HCLS.

Conclusion:

The knowledge of the regularity behavior of human movement can expand physical therapists' treatment approaches to promote further interactivity and coordination across body systems that model behavior of healthy young individuals. Targeting strength during therapy may provide additional benefits for gait performance under HCLS.

This study aims on revealing the concept of victory through the Tragical ending which reflected from Oedipus the King drama written by Sophocles. The objectives of this study are to explain How the concept of Victory in Tragic ending described in Sophocles’ Oedipus the King. This study is a qualitative study which applied Strauss’ Structuralism Theory and used discourse instrinsic elements of drama approach. The objects of this study include the material objects which are the drama “Oedipus the King” written by Sophocles as well as formal object which is the intrinsic elements of drama, such as dialogue, staging, characters, plot and themes which reflected from the dialogue in the drama. The data of this study is a qualitative data which is in the form of dialogues on the drama. From the data analysis, it was found that (1) intrinsic elements of drama analysis such as, dialogue, staging, character, plot and themes put a contribution. The contribution of the dialogue, staging, character, plot and themes is considered as a result of the supportive data which the writer used to analyze the main goal of this analysis using Strauss’ binary oppposition. (2) By the Strauss’ Binary Opposition, it appears that both of protagonist and antagonist of the story which this case between Oedipus and Teireisias shows their own figure. In the end, Teireisias who had a limited vision and the bad words when he talks to Oedipus, he has the knowledge behind his lackness and his knowledge is categorized as divine knowledge, since his every words he said was proven in the last of the story. (3) Concept of victory that the writer discovered after doing the binary opposition between Oedipus and Teireisias, then from the Oedipus’ oppositions the writer seeks the evidence that behind all of the Oedipus weakness againtsTeireisias, there still a concept of winning or victory. These evidences was obtained through the dialogues which occured in the tragic ending of Oedipus of the King Drama and shows that the tragic ending in Oedipus the King story writtten by Sophocles were symbolized as Victory.

Revealing The Meaning of Pilgrim’s Journey for Searching Salvation in Hermann Hesse’s "Siddhartha"
Authors: Shofiyani Yufi , Yulianto Henrikus Joko
Published: December 2019

This study is the analysis of the character Siddhartha’s pilgrimage journey in the novel entitled Siddhartha. There are three objectives of this study. The first is to describe the conflict between human’s worldly desires and his spiritual quest in Hermann Hesse’s novel, Siddhartha. The second is to explain how Siddhartha’s conflict between his worldly affairs and spiritual journey in view of Gadamer’s hermeneutics. And, the third is to explain how Siddhartha’s worldly and spiritual duality as a revelation of human’s conflict in general. The analysis and the description of the data are provided to find the conclusion. The analysis of this study is using Gadamer’s Hermeneutics theory. The study shows that the main character Siddhartha is searching for salvation through the ordeal life. He learned many teachings from Hinduism, being ascetic Samana, learned Buddha’s teachings, being worldly slave as the courtesan adherent, and finally he finds salvation from the river. In his journey to find salvation, Siddhartha is difficult to find teachings can satisfy him. He got the internal conflict between his worldly and spiritual quest when he became courtesan’s adherent. However, all the inner conflicts that Siddhartha felt have big roles and led him to make the next decision in his life. In the end of Siddhartha’s journey, finally he found salvation. The river has succeeded to change Siddhartha by its voice and “listen” became the key why he gets salvation in his life. Besides, there is the fact that Siddhartha’s story modelled itself on the journey of Siddhartha Gautama the Buddha. Hesse’s Siddhartha was written based on the author’s travel experience in India. The conflict that Hesse portrayed in that story mostly faced by people. In the novel, Hesse characterized Siddhartha as an individual who later found his life wisdom in an act of listening to the voices of nature. Listening means everything for Siddhartha.

Religión y razón pública

Se busca confrontar el llamado que hiciera Alwin Plantiga a los filósofos cristianos para que asuman los intereses de la comunidad a la que pertenecen, con el análisis que realiza Iván Garzón sobre el lugar de la religión en el ejercicio de la razón pública, con el propósito de examinar los cambios que se han producido, dentro del pensamiento político liberal, en lo que concierne al lugar de la religión en la organización de la sociedad. Esto le plantea a los creyentes nuevos retos para lograr, desde sus convicciones religiosas, participar activamente en la organización de sociedades que logren establecer formas de convivencia pacífica que respeten la creciente diversidad cultural de los ciudadanos.

El presente artículo deriva de un proyecto de investigación interinstitucional que tuvo por objetivo central reconocer los principios del paradigma de la complejidad en las prácticas de gestión de los actuales directivos docentes universitarios, dicho trabajo consideró un enfoque metodológico de orden cualitativo por tratarse de un estudio orientado a develar asuntos relacionados con la identificación de prácticas de gestión de los directivos docentes, la caracterización de los principios que están implícitos en dichas prácticas y la emergencia de posibles estilos de gestión a la luz del paradigma de la complejidad como asuntos contextuales de la realidad universitaria en dos instituciones de educación superior ubicadas en el departamento de Antioquia. Entre las conclusiones más representativas se encontró que son los principios de incertidumbre, autorregulación, autonomía/dependencia y recursividad los más recurrentes en el quehacer de los actuales directivos universitarios y que estos, representan para la gestión de las instituciones estudiadas, una oportunidad para repensar creativamente las maneras como se vienen consolidando los proyectos, programas y planes de docencia, investigación y extensión de suerte que puedan ser valoradas otras formas de liderar y con ello, de gestionar el conocimiento y las comunidades de aprendizaje que se han constituido al interior de su cotidianidad organizacional.
¿América Latina desde Marx o Marx desde América Latina? Las tensiones entre la escritura idealista y la escritura materialista
Authors: Ortega Reyna Jaime
Published: December 2019

En el presente trabajo se analizan las tensiones surgidas a partir de la pregunta ¿América Latina desde Marx o Marx desde América Latina? Para hacerlo se utilizan los conceptos de escritura idealista y escritura materialista, que identifican dos de las opciones más importantes en la producción teórica marxista. La primera se asocia a la perspectiva que concibe una forma universal de la historia, ligada a ciertos textos de Karl Marx y Friedrich Engels, continuada por la socialdemocracia alemana y cuyo punto máximo es la filosofía de Georg Lukács. Del otro lado están las perspectivas abiertas por el mismo Marx en ciertos segmentos de El capital y en sus cartas a Vera Zasúlich. Así mismo, se retoman algunas de las implicaciones de esta última opción en las tradiciones latinoamericanas. Particularmente se señala la importancia de la obra de Álvaro García Linera.

ABC transporters couple ATP hydrolysis to the transport of substrates across cellular membranes. This protein superfamily has diverse activities resulting from differences in their cargo and subcellular localization. Our work investigates the role of the ABCG family member WHT-2 in the biogenesis of gut granules, a Caenorhabditis elegans lysosome-related organelle. In addition to being required for the accumulation of birefringent material within gut granules, WHT-2 is necessary for the localization of gut granule proteins when trafficking pathways to this organelle are partially disrupted. The role of WHT-2 in gut granule protein targeting is likely linked to its function in Rab GTPase localization. We show that WHT-2 promotes the gut granule association of the Rab32 family member GLO-1 and the endolysosomal RAB-7, identifying a novel function for an ABC transporter. WHT-2 localizes to gut granules where it could play a direct role in controlling Rab localization. Loss of CCZ-1 and GLO-3, which likely function as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for GLO-1, lead to similar disruption of GLO-1 localization. We show that CCZ-1, like GLO-3, is localized to gut granules. WHT-2 does not direct the gut granule association of the GLO-1 GEF and our results point to WHT-2 functioning differently than GLO-3 and CCZ-1. Point mutations in WHT-2 that inhibit its transport activity, but not its subcellular localization, lead to the loss of GLO-1 from gut granules, while other WHT-2 activities are not completely disrupted, suggesting that WHT-2 functions in organelle biogenesis through transport-dependent and transport-independent activities.
Lexical Variants of Fixed Word Combinations in Political-Social Press Releases
Authors: Bryła-Lech Joanna
Published: December 2019

Fixed word combinations and their modifications are frequently used by journalists in press releases of a political and/or social profile. Analyzing the source material gathered from “Gazeta Wyborcza” in 2001, I found many lexical variants of phrasemes and proverbs.The most interesting modifications appeared in the headlines. This article describes a few such examples.Fixed word combinations make it easier for senders of political-social announcements to express their thoughts indirectly. They can be used to convey irony, mockery, or aversion towards a person or the subject of the statement in a veiled way. The proper understanding (i.e., in accordance with the sender’s intentions) of such a constructed announcement often requires some intellectual effort from the reader. It is a kind of game. Interpreting the metaphorical sense causes a relationship to form between the participants of the communicative process.Changeable modifications appear as a result of the replacement of one component by a different word, which from the sender’s point of view is more attractive than the one in the base form (Bąba 1989, p. 54). This leads to the appearance of so-called lexical variants. Most frequently, these units are not fixed in the Polish language, but are created especially for the needs of a certain text. They enable the meaning of a phraseme or proverb to be matched to the content of the article, which constitutes the context of its usage. They usually narrow the meaning.The modified phrasemes and proverbs attract the reader’s attention, convincing him of the sender’s views. The language of politics and the media is the language of manipulation and persuasion. Fixed word combinations are very important language devices that facilitate an effective influence on the reader/receiver.
The Conflict Between the Meaning of a Word and Its Form: The Unity of Disunity
Authors: Król Martyna
Published: December 2019

This article discusses the identity of a word as a synthetic lexical unit, i.e., a language sign. It also makes an attempt to interpret Ferdinand de Saussure’s theory as presented in his book De l’essence double du langage. According to this theory, a sign of linguistic activity consists of a language sign and a speech sign. The language sign includes an invariant (constant) meaning and an invariant form, while the speech sign is made up of the current meaning (or meanings) as well as the current form. All these elements are interrelated in a way which enables humans to use them in linguistic activity. They constitute a homogeneous, yet non-isomorphic entirety, as they belong to “different worlds.” Despite the complexity of its inner structure, a sign of linguistic activity acquires its identity only due to the coexistence of all its elements (hence the “unity of disunity” of the title). The given theory differs significantly from the bilateral concept of a language sign attributed to Saussure after the publication of A Course in General Linguistics by Albert Sechehaye and Charles Bally. The concept of language sign has developed into the concept of language activity, which includes both invariant elements (of the language system) and current elements (of speech). However, such a concept was first expressed in the unfinished and unedited book De l’essence double du langage by de Saussure. The theory described in de Saussure’s book has been thoroughly analysed by the author of this article. The most important conclusion drawn from this analysis is that a sign of linguistic activity is a complex item, within which the conflict does not result from the connection of mental and physical beings, but rather from the fact that a sign is built of elements belonging to different systems, governed by different laws; the conflict here is neutralized and has a creative rather than a destructive role. The review of the better and less well-known concepts of the language sign proves that this issue has been intriguing philosophers and linguists ever since. In all the theories there are two elements to be noticed: the opposition or conflict, and the attempt to neutralize it, together with the observation that language is an unusual, amazing phenomenon. Surprisingly, it is conflict (no matter what its nature is) that turns out to be the factor that strengthens, if not actively drives, the very existence of a language.
