The ECB's conundrum and 21st century monetary policy: How European monetary policy can be green, social and democratic
Authors: Klooster Jens van't
Published: February 2021

The ECB’s mandate was drafted 30 years ago and focuses narrowly on preventing inflation. As a consequences, the ECB lacks clear democratic guidance concerning the challenges it faces today: how to deal with government debt and what to do to fight climate change. This lack of guidance undermines the legitimacy of its choices and the effectiveness of its programmes. The EU’s political institutions can solve the ECB’s conundrum by providing it with renewed democratic authorisation.
The impact of measurement error in models using police recorded crime rates
Authors: Pina-Sánchez Jose , Buil-Gil David , brunton-smith ian , Cernat Alexandru
Published: February 2021

Objectives: Assess the extent to which measurement error in police recorded crime rates impact the estimates of regression models exploring the causes and consequences of crime.Methods: We focus on linear models where crime rates are included either as the response or as an explanatory variable, in their original scale, or log-transformed. Two measurement error mechanisms are considered, systematic errors in the form of under-recorded crime, and random errors in the form of recording inconsistencies across areas. The extent to which such measurement error mechanisms impact model parameters is demonstrated algebraically, using formal notation, and graphically, using simulations.Results: Most coefficients and measures of uncertainty from models where crime rates are included in their original scale are severely biased. However, in many cases, this problem could be minimised, or altogether eliminated by log-transforming crime rates. This transforms the multiplicative measurement error observed in police recorded crime rates into a less harmful additive mechanism.Conclusions: The validity of findings from regression models where police recorded crime rates are used in their original scale is put into question. In interpreting the large evidence base exploring the effects and consequences of crime using police statistics we urge researchers to consider the biasing effects shown here. Equally, we urge researchers to log-transform crime rates before they are introduced in statistical models.

Kasus pneumonia misterius yang belum diketahui etiologinya dilaporkan pada akhir Desember 2019 di Tiongkok. Terjadi lonjakan kasus dalam waktu relative singkat pasien pneumonia berjumlah 44 pasien dan terus meningkat menjadi ribuan kasus. Kasus ini kemudian diidentifikasikan ke dalam kasus Novel Corona Virus Diseases 19 (COVID 19) (Perhimpunan Dokter Paru Indonesia, 2020). Menurut World Health Organization (WHO) menyatakan bahwa hasil diagnosis tes Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) negative dengan tanda klinis infeksi COVID 19 di Kazakhstan dikelompokkan ke dalam perhitungan total COVID 19, pernyataan ini disiarkan sejak tanggal 1 Agustus 2020 dengan laporan adanya kasus pneumonia dengan gejala klinis COVID 19 sebanyak 13.121 kasus dengan kematian sebanyak 152 kematian sehingga Case Fatality Rate (CFR) sebesar 1,16% (Xinshua, 2020). Pada Tahun 2015 di dunia kasus pneumonia mencapai 920.000 jiwa setiap tahunnya dengan arti bahwa ada 2 balita meninggal setiap menitnya.

Zmiany w procedurach podatkowych i uprawnieniach organów podatkowych – ich znaczenie w kontekście uszczelniania systemu podatkowego w Polsce w latach 2015–2019
Authors: Janiszewska Magdalena
Published: February 2021

One of the effects of globalization is the intensification of tax avoidance which leads to the erosion of tax bases in many tax jurisdictions. Not surprisingly, one of the main objectives of governmental policies is to tighten (seal) their tax systems. This can be illustrated by the changes to the tax procedures and powers of tax authorities introduced in Poland. The aim of the article is to examine to what extent these changes have impacted the tax gap. The author analyzed the relevant literature, legal provisions and empirical data. The results demonstrate that the changes in question deserve approval and they could impact the tax gap. However, they do not fully solve the problems resulting from the former legal solutions and it is not entirely clear whether the higher revenues to the state budget result from the activities of tax authorities or whether they are primarily driven by economic growth and the growth in prosperity. The constantly growing gap in foreign CIT also calls for further action.

Published: February 2021

The toxic renal accumulation of bile pigment sparked clinical intrigue almost a century ago. More recently, however, the identification of bile casts within renal tubules in patients with liver dysfunction has been largely overlooked. We have reviewed the literature, including natural history, pathophysiology, and potential treatment of bile cast nephropathy (BCN). We report two cases of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with acute-on-chronic liver failure in which prolonged hyperbilirubinemia and bile cast identification on renal biopsy evoked the diagnosis of BCN.

LAY SUMMARY

The Veteran Suicide Mortality Study describes the risk of death by suicide for Canadian Veterans using data linkage at Statistics Canada. The study includes Veterans released with Regular Force or Reserve Force Class C service over the period 1976-2012. Both male and female Veterans had higher risk of suicide if they released at non-officer ranks. For men, the risk of suicide death peaked around four years after release from the military. For women, the risk of suicide death peaked around 20 years after release. This study provides information for the timing of prevention efforts.

Assessment of the Role of Environmental factors and Associated Plants for the Mass Cultivation of Santalum album L in Nepal and India
Authors: Yadav Roshan Kumar , Tah Jagatpati , Mukhopadhyay Subrata
Published: February 2021

Sandalwood (White Sandal) is the fragrant heartwood of some species of genus Santalum. The widely distributed and economically important Santalum genus belongs to the family Santalaceae which includes 30 genera with about 400 species, many of which being completely or partially parasitic (John, 1947). The word Sandal has been derived from Chandana (Sanskrit), Chandan (Persian), Savtador (Greek) and Santal (French). There are references of Sandalwood in Indian mythology, folklore and ancient scripts. ‘Chandana’ the Sanskrit name ascribed to Santalum album L. was known and used in India from the earliest historic times and is frequently mentioned in the ancient Sanskrit writings, some of which dated before Christian era. Kautilya’s Arthashastra (320 B.C.) considered Sandal as one of the important forest products to increase royal revenue. Charaka Sanhitha, the major text book of internal medicine in Ayurveda (300 B.C.) quotes uses of Sandal over 160 time in the entire text. In treatment of major diseases like fever, piles, hemorrhagic conditions, diabetes, dropsy, mental disorders, management of poisons & skin disorders wide spread uses of sandal is seen. Susrutha Samhita (150 B.C.) a great text on Indian wisdom on surgical procedures, equally preferred sandal for the management of wounds. Sandal fumigation is indicated in warding off evils and organisms, which contaminate the wounds. Such fumigations hasten the wound healing & surgical wards remain aseptic. Dusting of wounds with sandal for early healing is common. In the Amarkosha (Lexicon 3rd or 4th Century A.D.) sandal is mentioned and it is said that ‘Vina-malayam anyathra chandanam vivarditha’

Authors: Helena González
Published: February 2021

Objective: To define the correlation between the Fat Free Mass Index (FFMI), the muscle function, degree of airflow obstruction, the respiratory symptoms and the number of exacerbations during the last year in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Methods: Prospective and cross-sectional study of subjects older than 40 years with a clinical diagnosis of COPD who underwent measurement of the FFMI and muscular function to determine if these were correlated with the variables of severe COPD. Results: 55 patients Participated in the study. The FFMI was below 32.7% (n=18) and the strength diminished in 56.4% (n=31). In the sample, we found a direct and significant correlation between the FFMI and the FEV1* (predicted %), (p= 0,045). When analyzed by sex, men had a direct correlation between FFMI and the FEV1*(predicted %), (p=0,019), an inverse correlation between FFMI and the spirometric classification of the Global Initiative Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) (p=0,008) and between the muscular function and the symptoms (p=0, 03). In women no significant correlation was found. Conclusions: The conditions in mass and the muscular function were correlated with clinical variables and pulmonary function in men, but not in women. We did not find a correlation between corporal composition and the number of exacerbations.

HARPOCRATES WITH ROYAL ATTRIBUTES AND HARPOCRATES-EROS: EGYPTIAN TERRACOTTA FIGURINES FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE PUSHKIN STATE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, MOSCOW
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of science (MOSCOW), Malykh Svetlana E. , Vasilyeva Olga A. ,   Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts
Published: February 2021

This article introduces five terracotta figurines acquired in Egypt by Vladimir S. Golenishchev and N. G. Ter-Mikaelyan and currently preserved at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. Three statuettes depict the child god Harpocrates with the attributes of royal power; two figurines demonstrate the identification of Harpocrates with the Greek god Eros. Most of the objects can be dated mainly to the Roman times, one is to be dated to the late Ptolemaic period. The places of finding or manufacturing of figurines are mostly unknown; however, according to a number of specific features, these could be towns of the Fayum Oasis, the Delta, and in one case — probably, Edfu. Terracotta figurines of Harpocrates with royal regalia are rare, especially in comparison with the wide-spread occurrence of terracottaе with Harpocrates holding a pot or cornucopia; all these data bring his functions as patron of fertility and defender of health to the fore. The presence of royal attributes seems to be a kind of secondary, partly decorative elements that only enhance the most popular aspects of terracotta images of Harpocrates. The type of figurines depicting Harpocrates sitting on a throne with the crown of the god Amun reproduces the iconography of small bronze sculpture. In other types of terracotta the royal attributes most frequently found are the double crown and — rarely — a nemes-headdress; the crown is usually surrounded by lotus buds, a favorite motive of Harpocrates’ iconography. The childish image of Harpocrates in the time of interaction between Eastern and Western cultures led to a natural synthesis of images of the child gods of Egyptian and Graeco-Roman worlds — Harpocrates and Eros. Apparently, such terracottaе, which had more Hellenistic than Egyptian features, were in demand by the population of different towns in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt.
Elevated Norepinephrine Metabolism Gauges Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Pathology and Memory Decline
Authors: Riphagen Joost M. , van Egroo Maxime , Jacobs Heidi I.L.
Published: February 2021

The noradrenergic (NE) locus coeruleus (LC) is vulnerable to hyperphosphorylated tau, and dysregulated NE-metabolism is linked to greater tau and disease progression. We investigated whether elevated NE-metabolism alone predicts memory decline or whether concomitant presence of tau and amyloid-β is required. Among 114 memory clinic participants, time trends (max. six years) showed dose-response declines in learning across groups with elevated NE-metabolite 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (MHPG) with no, one, or two Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers; and no decline in the low MHPG group. Elevated MHPG is required and sufficient to detect learning declines, supporting a pathophysiologic model including the LC-NE system contributing to initial Alzheimer’s disease-related processes.
Lattice-based remote user authentication from reusable fuzzy signature
Authors: Tian Yangguang , Li Yingjiu , Deng Robert H. , Sengupta Binanda , Yang Guomin
Published: February 2021

In this paper, we introduce a new construction of reusable fuzzy signature based remote user authentication that is secure against quantum computers. We investigate the reusability of fuzzy signature, and we prove that the fuzzy signature schemes provide biometrics reusability (aka. reusable fuzzy signature). We define formal security models for the proposed construction, and we prove that it achieves user authenticity and user privacy. The proposed construction ensures: 1) a user’s biometrics can be securely reused in remote user authentication; 2) a third party having access to the communication channel between a user and the authentication server cannot identify the user.

Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND: Several studies on seasonal variation in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) have been reported. However, the association between season and BPPV remains controversial; thus, further study is required. OBJECTIVE: We analyzed patients with BPPV to evaluate monthly and seasonal variations. METHODS: Patients with BPPV seen between 2013 and 2017 were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Differences among the months and seasons of BPPV visits were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups according to age (65 years or older and younger than 65 years) and sex, respectively, and the differences were analyzed in each group. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the monthly or seasonal distribution of BPPV in the 1,216 patients. There was also no significant difference in the monthly or seasonal distribution in the older and younger groups or in male and female patients. CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference in the monthly or seasonal distribution of patients with BPPV. Additional studies on seasonal variation in BPPV are required in terms of not only vitamin D levels but also other associated factors.
The legitimacy of using dietary supplement diglycoside secoisolariciresinol (SDG) from flaxseed in cancer
Authors: Dobrowolska Karolina , Regulska-Ilow Bożena
Published: February 2021

Linseed, commonly known as flaxseed, is a fibre-rich food product. According to the recent study prepared by the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), an adequate intake of dietary fiber contributes to reducing the risk of colorectal cancer. In addition, the flaxseed and the oil extracted from it are considered to be food products with a high content of anti-inflammatory, unsaturated α-linolenic acid (ALA). However, the authors of the most recent scientific research have assigned the anticancer significance of flax seeds to plant lignan - secoisolariciresinol diglycoside (SDG), of which flaxseed is the main food source. This article provides a review of the world scientific literature together with an assessment of the validity of dietary supplementation with SDG from flaxseeds in cancer and during chemotherapeutic treatment. The paper also presents the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) view on dietary supplementation with flax seeds and its lignans. Additionally, selected dietary supplements available on the Polish market containing SDGs, linseed oil or linseed were analysed, together with a description of their intended use suggested by the manufacturers.

Published: February 2021

Embora o Ministério da Saúde tenha incluído a saúde do idoso como uma prioridade por meio da promulgação de uma nova política nacional de saúde da pessoa idosa, a falta de articulação do sistema de saúde impossibilita o desenvolvimento de ações efetivas que abordem os diversos aspectos da vida da população idosa. Assim, visa-se analisar os desafios relativos ao diagnóstico e tratamento da depressão senil na Atenção Básica. Este estudo pode ser classificado como uma revisão integrativa. Serão realizadas as seguintes etapas: 1. Elaboração da questão norteadora; 2. Busca ou amostragem na literatura; 3. Coleta de dados; 4. Análise crítica dos estudos; 5. Discussão dos resultados. Após a realização da pesquisa, pode-se afirmar tratar-se de uma doença bastante complexa e cujo surgimento entre os idosos possui causa multifatorial. Verificou-se que pacientes idosos com depressão frequentam assiduamente os serviços primários de saúde. Verificou-se, igualmente, que, em função de sua complexidade, a depressão entre a população idosa é de difícil diagnóstico, o que eleva consideravelmente os riscos de morbidade. O principal desafio para o diagnóstico da depressão entre os idosos pelos profissionais de saúde que atuam na Atenção Básica é a dificuldade encontrada em diferenciar, de forma adequada, os sintomas depressivos da sintomatologia de outras doenças que comumente acometem a população idosa. Assim, é essencial que o profissional responsável pelo atendimento do idoso depressivo seja devidamente qualificado e capacitado.
The facilitative middle in Baltic and North Slavonic
Authors: Holvoet Axel , Daugavet Anna
Published: February 2021

The article deals with the facilitative middle, a gram often simply referred to (especially in literature of the formal persuasion) as ‘the middle’ (e.g., The bread cuts easily). While in the Western European languages this gram is nearly exclusively generic or individual-level (kind-level) and has no explicit agent (these features are correspondingly often regarded as definitional for ‘middles’), the Baltic and Slavonic languages have constructions that arguably belong to the same gram-type but often represent stage-level predications, with a non-generic agent that is optionally expressed by an oblique noun phrase or prepositional phrase, or is contextually retrievable. The article gives an overview of the parameters of variation in the facilitative constructions of a number of Baltic and Slavonic languages (individual- or kind-level and stage-level readings, aspect, transitivity, expression of the agent, presence or absence of adverbial modifiers etc.). The semantics of the different varieties is discussed, as well as their lexical input. Attention is given to the grammaticalisation path and to what made the Balto-Slavonic type of facilitatives so markedly different from their counterparts in Western European languages.

Published: February 2021

Antecedentes: el labio leporino y el paladar hendido (CLP) es una de las alteraciones congénitas más comunes que afecta las estructuras faciales y, en consecuencia, interﬁere con el proceso de alimentación y un estado nutricional adecuado. El tratamiento ortopédico puede desempeñar un papel en los trastornos nutricionales y dietéticos. Objetivo: evaluamos el estado nutricional y la ingesta dietética en niños en edad preescolar con CLP bajo el tratamiento de dispositivos ortopédicos ﬁjos. Métodos: estudio transversal en 31 niños (3 a 6 años) con CLP; se tomaron medidas antropométricas bajo los criterios de los puntajes Z de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, así como el recuerdo dietético de 24 horas para la evaluación dietética (macro y micronutrientes). Resultados: 19.4% de los niños tenían bajo peso y 25.8% presentaron sobrepeso u obesidad; se registró una dieta insuﬁciente en nutrientes especíﬁcos, tales como: ﬁbra, ácido fólico, hierro, potasio y fósforo. La adherencia al tratamiento con dispositivos ortopédicos se asoció con una baja ingesta de proteínas, además de un mayor consumo de lípidos en aquellos que siguen una correcta adherencia al tratamiento. Conclusiones: los niños con CLP pueden comprometer sus requerimientos de dieta y, en consecuencia, su estado nutricional. El material y funcionalidad de los dispositivos ortopédicos deben considerarse para lograr una rehabilitación adecuada y un crecimiento normal.

Authors: Meza Aguilar Oscar José , Soto Juárez Ignacio
Published: February 2021

Introducción: la artroplastia total de cadera (ATC) es una opción para casi todas aquellas patologías que producen una diﬁcultad funcional crónica de la articulación. Los sistemas cerámicos exhiben características de desgaste superiores en comparación con los sistemas tradicionales de metal-polietileno. Ambos sistemas presentan complicaciones a largo plazo como pueden ser aﬂojamiento aséptico, dislocación e infección. Otra complicación menos común es la falla catastróﬁca del componente acetabular, que se ha informado en los sistemas de cerámica y metal. Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente femenina de 58 años, con un índice de masa corporal de 34, sin antecedentes crónicos de importancia y con diagnóstico de coxartrosis izquierda. Fue sometida a una artroplastia total primaria de cadera izquierda, con mala evolución a corto plazo. Posteriormente se realiza revisión de artroplastia de cadera izquierda, donde se encontró abundante metalosis e inﬁltración a tejidos blandos, se retira material protésico, se realiza aseo quirúrgico y se coloca espaciador de cemento, reportando como hallazgos aún abundantes metalosis inﬁltrada en tejido celular subcutáneo y músculo, además de pérdida del fondo acetabular. Final-mente, se le retiró el espaciador de cemento sin complica-ciones y con una evaluación satisfactoria. Conclusión: es una entidad rara sin una incidencia en especíﬁco; sin embargo, es importante identiﬁcarla de manera temprana y realizar una revisión de artroplastia temprana.
High Temperature Flexural Deformation Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) with Hybrid Fiber Reinforcement
Authors: YU Zhihui , YUAN Zhen , XIA Chaofan , ZHANG Cong
Published: February 2021

Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is a class of high-performance fiber reinforced composites with ultra-ductility designed based on micromechanics, and it has been developed for increasing application in the construction industry during recent decades. The properties of ECC at room temperature have been tested and studied in depth, however, few studies focus on its performance after high temperature that is one of the worst conditions to ECC. To investigate the change tendency and mechanism for the high temperature flexural properties of hybrid fiber reinforced ECC and the feasibility of calcium carbonate whisker to reduce the cost of ECC materials, polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVA) reinforced strain hardening cementitious composites (PVA-ECC), steel fiber + PVA fiber reinforced ECC (defined as HyFRECC-A) and steel fiber + PVA fiber + CaCO3 whisker reinforced ECC (defined as HyFRECC-B) subject to room temperature and 200 ℃, 400 ℃, 600 ℃, 800 ℃ elevated temperature exposure were experimentally compared. The results indicate that equally replacing PVA fibers by steel fibers degraded the flexural hardening ability of PVA-ECC at room temperature, while the addition of appropriate amount of CaCO3 whisker improved the flexural strength, toughness and flexural hardening behavior. The elevated temperature posed a significant effect on the flexural strength and toughness of the three types of ECCs. Flexural deflection hardening behavior of the three types of ECCs was eliminated after high temperature exposure. Flexural strength and toughness of PVA-ECC presented an exponential decay along with the increase of temperature. The addition of steel fiber slowed down the decay rate. Although the use of CaCO3 whisker increased the post-temperature flexural strength and toughness of HyFRECC-B, the decay rate was not further decreased.

Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT

 

The present numerical work describes the effect of the temperature dependent variable viscosity and viscous dissipation on natural convection heat transfer boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid along a vertical wavy surface in presence of a transverse magnetic field. The wavy surface is maintained at uniform wall temperature that is higher than that of the ambient. A simple coordinate transformation is employed to transform the wavy surface into a flat plate. A marching finite difference scheme is used for present analysis. The numerical results, including the developments of the skin friction coefficients, the local Nusselt number, the streamlines as well as the isotherms are presented and discussed in detail. The results of this investigation illustrated that the skin friction coefficient increase with an increase of the variable viscosity and viscous dissipation parameter, while the local Nusselt number at the heated surface decrease with increasing values of variable viscosity, intensity of magnetic field and viscous dissipation parameter.
