Rol de conexina 40 como intermediario en la migración del trofoblasto extra velloso inducida por hipoxia
Authors:   ,   Universidad del Desarrollo, Retamal Mauricio
Published: March 2023

La conexina 40 (Cx40) ha sido involucrada en la proliferación del trofoblasto extra velloso durante el proceso de placentación, el que ocurre bajo concentraciones de oxígeno de 1-2%. Sin embargo, se desconoce hasta la fecha cuál es el efecto directo de la hipoxia sobre la Cx40. Mediante el uso de la línea celular Jeg-3 derivada de coriocarcinoma, demostramos que la hipoxia promueve la traslocación de parte de la proteína a la membrana celular, aumentando la probabilidad de encontrar estructuras que asemejan canales de unión en hendidura en las membranas de aposición entre células vecinas. La presencia de estos canales se asoció a un aumento en el acoplamiento de las células demostrado por el traspaso de colorante entre ellas. Utilizando la línea Jeg-3 transfectada con Cx40 pudimos comprobar que la sobreexpresión de Cx40 es capaz de inducir una mayor proliferación en estas células, pero lo más interesante es que un aumento en la expresión de Cx40 es capaz de frenar el estímulo migratorio inducido por la hipoxia. A su vez, utilizando análogos de GMPc fuimos capaces de reproducir los hallazgos observados en hipoxia, y de revertirlos parcialmente utilizando un inhibidor especifico de PKG, sugiriendo que la vía NO-GMPc-PKG pudiese ser un mecanismo importante a través del cual el estímulo hipóxico comanda el tráfico de Cx40 a la membrana celular

On periodic solutions of a recruitment model with iterative terms and a nonlinear harvesting
Authors: Mezghiche Lynda , Khemis Rabah
Published: March 2023

We consider a first-order delay differential equation involving iterative terms. We prove the existence of positive periodic and bounded solutions by utilizing the Schauder's fixed point theorem combined with the Green's functions method. Furthermore, by virtue of the Banach contraction principle, the uniqueness and stability of the solution are also analyzed. Our new results are illustrated with two examples that show the feasibility of our main findings.

Published: March 2023

The aim of this article is to study the existence of at least one unbounded nondecreasing sequence of nonnegative eigenvalues (λk)k≥1 for a class of elliptic Navier boundary value problems involving the degenerate p(·)-biharmonic operator with q(x)-Hardy inequality by using the variational technique based on the Ljusternik-Schnirelmann theory on C1-manifolds and the theory of the variable exponent Lebesgue spaces. Also, we obtain the positivity of the infimum eigenvalue for the problem.
Pembangunan Pemukiman Orang Asli Papua Dalam Perspektif Antropologi Papua di Kota Sorong
Authors: Tenau Imanuel
Published: March 2023

Domus Propria Domus Optima means that one's own home is always the best home. Home, this is the first door to enter the gate of life activities. Indigenous Papuans provide a gateway to home, neighbor and nature that presents itself to others. Settlement is the first awareness of humans to relate to others (the other). The other is a description of esse in its totality to create an encounter with nature. Settlement displays the facticity of the esse, which places me and the other in temporality.

Indigenous Papuans and their settlements illustrate human life that has often been discussed by everyone so far. The discussion that always arises is the difficulty of accepting the modernity of existing settlements. Differences in culture, ethnicity, character, religion prevent indigenous Papuans from feeling at home. Indigenous Papuans feel at home with God, others and nature in their settlements. At home shows the nature of indigenous Papuans who have two dimensions, namely personal and social dimensions. The personal dimension expresses the quality side in him that has uniqueness so that it distinguishes him from others. Here the indigenous Papuan is able to determine himself and all his actions. Likewise, the social dimension makes indigenous Papuans unable to live alone. He can always meet with God, others and nature. This is where indigenous Papuans realize themselves as true human beings. This condition makes indigenous Papuans act uniquely as humans.

The virus SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in numerous modelling approaches arising rapidly to understand the spread of the disease COVID-19 and to plan for future interventions. Herein, we present an SEIR model with a spatial spread component as well as four infectious compartments to account for the variety of symptom levels and transmission rate. The model takes into account the pattern of spatial vulnerability in South Africa through a vulnerability index that is based on socioeconomic and health susceptibility characteristics. Another spatially relevant factor in this context is level of mobility throughout. The thesis of this study is that without the contextual spatial spread modelling, the heterogeneity in COVID-19 prevalence in the South African setting would not be captured. The model is illustrated on South African COVID-19 case counts and hospitalisations.
Alfabetización crítica de políticas alimentarias: Conceptualizando la participación de las comunidades en políticas alimentarias municipales
Authors: Ramos-Gerena Carol
Published: March 2023

Las políticas alimentarias deberían estar formuladas por aquellos a quienes pretenden servir, pero los procesos de elaboración de políticas siguen siendo exclusivos para voces, conocimientos y experiencias privilegiadas. Activistas, organizadores y académicos se han esforzado por capacitar a las comunidades en políticas alimentarias para hacer que los procesos políticos sean más accesibles, aumentando potencialmente su alfabetización en políticas alimentarias (APA o food policy literacy). En este artículo, sostengo que hacer accesibles los procesos, la información y la capacitación en política alimentaria a las comunidades puede prepararlas mejor para que participen, interpreten y controlen las políticas del sistema alimentario, especialmente a nivel municipal. Me baso en la premisa de que una comprensión clara de las políticas alimentarias es una condición necesaria (y no suficiente) para la participación de la comunidad en la formulación, planificación e implementación de políticas sobre sistemas alimentarios. En la bibliografía existente se han definido a fondo la alfabetización alimentaria (food literacy) y la alfabetización política (policy literacy), pero se ha trabajado muy poco en la definición de “alfabetización de políticas alimentarias.” Para abordar esta laguna conceptual, este artículo tiende un puente entre los estudios sobre alimentación y política alimentaria y el trabajo de alfabetización crítica de Paulo Freire para responder a las siguientes preguntas: ¿Cómo entendemos las alfabetizaciones relacionadas con la política alimentaria? ¿Qué significa (o qué podría significar) estar alfabetizado en política alimentaria? ¿Cómo puede la alfabetización crítica vinculada a la política alimentaria aportar en la transformación de los sistemas alimentarios? Siguiendo este análisis, determino que la APA crítica es una “lectura del mundo y de las palabras,” una conciencia crítica de los procesos de la política alimentaria, una práctica de aprendizaje contextual y auténtica, y un compromiso colectivo con la transformación de la política alimentaria.

THE EFFECTS OF REMITTANCE ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN NEPAL
Authors:   Global College International, Lamsal Mani Ratna
Published: March 2023

The cross-border movement of workers has increased with the enactment of economic liberalization policy, especially after the 1990s in Nepal and increasing globalization in the world. It opened the door to the Nepalese workers in abroad, making their remittance one of the prime sources of foreign exchange earning in Nepal. Consequently, solving the problem of unemployment, remittance become the major contributor in Nepalese economy accelerating overall economic growth of the country; it is the major source of financial savings and thereby investment and growth. Despite the increasing importance of remittance in Nepalese economy, the overall impact of remittance on economic growth has not been adequately explored yet. This paper analyzes the effects of remittances on the economic growth of Nepal. Previous studies have found mixed results regarding to impact of remittances on economy- i.e. positive effects as well as negative effects of remittance on economic growth. So, this paper examines which effect is predominant in Nepalese context. The multiple regression model (OLS) is employed in the study in order to identify the effects of remittances on economic growth of Nepal. The time series secondary data for 20 years, 2001-2020, are collected from various published sources. This study concludes that there is positive and significant relationship between remittance and economic growth in Nepal. The impacts of other control variables, government expenditure and export trade are also positive for growth. However, expenses made on human capital has lagged effect, making insignificant in short run. The government of Nepal and concerned agencies should provide skill development trainings for the Nepalese migrants to increase their income in host countries. Government should encourage migrants to send remittances only from formal banking channels. It even helps for capital formation, investment and economic growth. It also solves the liquidity crisis and foreign exchange constraints in the nation, promoting the infrastructure development on the nation.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in Auditing: A Commentary
Authors: Shaoyu Liu Shaoyu Liu
Published: March 2023

We are living in an age of transformation. Audit firms are exploring new technologies to improve effectiveness and efficiency, thus improving audit quality. Among many technologies, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is one of the most often mentioned technology because of its adaptability to audit procedures. A bot can perform many tasks a human can do on a computer. There are some characteristics to help a practitioner decide whether a job is feasible for RPA to accomplish. A repetitive task is a good candidate for RPA to automate. RPA can speed up the execution of those processes to increase efficiency. RPA works best for the rulebased, standardized task. RPA cannot self-learn to respond to various inputs. It can only follow the way a designer configured it strictly. Structured data can help reduce errors and debug efforts.

Authors: Shintaku Milton
Published: March 2023

Introdução: A biblioteca digital surgiu na esteira do movimento dos arquivos abertos para disseminar a literatura cinzenta, ou àquela que não passava por processo tradicional de publicação. Com isso, órgãos de governo brasileiros passaram a criar as suas bibliotecas digitais para disseminar a memória técnica e outras documentações. Entretanto, a implementação de bibliotecas digitais não é tarefa simples, pois requer apoio para criar uma estrutura de organização e representação. Assim, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar a cadeia de valor como ferramenta de apoio para a organização de biblioteca digital de governo. Método: Para alcançar os objetivos, o estudo utiliza pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, tendo como fonte principal o Google Acadêmico. Resultados: Os estudos verificaram que a cadeia de valor é uma ferramenta útil para vários fins, incluindo o mapeamento da tipologia documental de um órgão de governo, o que possibilita análises que apoiem sua organização e representação, facilitando a implementação de bibliotecas digitais. Conclusão: Mesmo para profissionais da informação que atuam em órgãos de governo, ter a visão global da memória técnica nem sempre é simples e requer estudos com métodos e técnicas que a cadeia de valores pode suprir.

: The retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Gynecology Dr. Ruth K. M. Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi, from February 2021 to February 2022, for the evaluation of  factors associated with the success of TOLAC (trial of labor after cesarean delivery) and to identify variables for predicting the success of TOLAC in subjects with prior Caesarean section (CS). A total of 315 women were included in the study. They were divided into the validation cohort (n=20, 63%) and the training cohort(n=295, 93.6%). The primary endpoint was the success rate of vaginal delivery. The results showed that of 315 participants, 264 (83.8%) women had successful TOLAC and vaginal delivery, and 51 (16.1%) had ERCS. According to multivariate analysis, BMI-estimated birth weight, gestational age  <41 weeks, rupture of membranes, and cervix Bishop score ≥5 was significantly associated with the success of  TOLAC. Results suggest that TOLAC has a high success rate in women with a history of c-sections.
Rational Design of Single-Atom Catalysts for Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Reduction toward Multi-Carbon Products
Authors: Fan Zhanxi
Published: March 2023

Electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction is emerging as a promising technique to decrease atmospheric CO2 concentration and relieve energy pressure. Besides the single-carbon (C1) species, multi-carbon (C2+) products are more preferred because of their elevated energy density and/or larger economic value. Single atom catalysts (SACs) have been widely used in the field of catalysis due to their tunable active center and unique electronic structure. So far, extensive research progresses have been achieved in utilizing SACs to promote the CO2 reduction toward C1 products, but little attention is paid to the formation of high-value C2+ products. In this review, we present the recent advances of electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C2+ products with SACs. Firstly, the reaction mechanism of converting CO2 to C2+ products is briefly introduced. Then the general design principles of SACs toward C2+ products are systematically discussed. After that, we highlight the representative studies on the C2+ generation and the corresponding mechanism with SACs, including the copper and non-copper based SACs. Finally, we summarize the latest progresses and provide personal perspectives for the future design and target preparation of advanced SACs for the high-performance CO2 electrolysis to specific C2+ products.

It investigated their effects on the achievement of students from the teachers' perspective in the schools in Ramtha. A sample consisting from (77) VE teachers in Ramtha, Jordan was chosen through the random method in sampling. This work used a survey. The survey that was used in this work consists of two main. The first part aims to collect personal data about the sample (i.e. gender and academic qualification). As for second part, it aims to collect data about the challenges of using technology in vocational education from the view of the sample. The researcher concluded that the severity of the challenges related to technology in teaching vocational education is moderate from the view of teachers. It was found that the most serious challenges related to the use of technology are represented mainly in the challenges related to technological applications, challenges related to school capabilities, and challenges related to curricula. It was found that there are challenges that significantly affect the students' achievements from the view of VE teachers. The researcher of the present study recommends developing the infrastructure in public schools in order to enable vocational education teachers to use technology in the teaching and training processes.
Beautifully broken: Implementing a peer support program to help healthcare providers heal
Authors: Webb Elaine , McNulty Denise Stage
Published: March 2023

Introduction: This evidence-based project aimed to determine the feasibility of implementing a peer support program to minimize trauma in healthcare professionals (HCP)s following unanticipated adverse events. Based on the forYOU Program designed by Sue Scott at the University of Missouri Health System, this program trained peers to offer real-time caring and support to other clinicians coping with such events. Most healthcare professionals are involved in at least one adverse event in their careers. Albert Wu, MD (2000) coined the term second victim to capture the essence of the trauma experienced by healthcare professionals when an unanticipated event negatively impacts a patient. When left unchecked, this trauma can result in moral distress, stress disorders, and burnout as the clinician ruminates over the event. Providing emotional support has improved second victims' emotional well-being and recovery. Therefore, healthcare leaders are encouraged to develop comprehensive programs to provide easy access to peer and social support when they experience an adverse event.Methods: Designed for implementation in the Women's Service Department of a 350-bed southwestern hospital, this project employed a pre-/post-evaluation of subjective outcomes using an online survey for nurses. A core group of trainers attended a two-day peer support train-the-trainer event hosted by the forYOU Program at the University of Missouri Health Care System. This group trained 26 peer supporters representing the four departments in Women's Services and both shifts. Baseline data was collected (n = 44) to assess the frequency and impact of unanticipated adverse events, the perceived support, and the type of support received. Following the four-month implementation in the Summer/Fall of 2020, post-data was obtained, including a program awareness assessment (n = 17).Results: Pre- and post-implementation of the Peer Support Program, nurses in Women's Services reported adverse events impacting their emotional well-being. Post-program, more nurses reported receiving support (86% post-program versus 43% pre-program). Before employment, 79% of nurses who received support received peer support, versus 86% receiving peer support post-implementation. The implementation occurred during the COVID pandemic, which may have resulted in a decreased post-assessment sample size. However, the peer supporters reported hesitancy in completing encounter forms feeling that providing support was “too personal”. The participants said that they found the peer support program worthwhile.Conclusions: Nurses on the implementation units indicated receiving more support after the peer support program was implemented and felt the program was beneficial. Since unanticipated events are inevitable in health care, the steering committee recommended sustaining and spreading the program to all the nursing departments. More data is needed to determine the full impact of the program.

Authors: Ria Adisti Aprilian , Yuliasri Issy , Hartono Rudi , Fitriati Sri Wuli
Published: March 2023

Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) means introducing English as a foreign language in learning to children. Children should learn a foreign language earlier to expand the boundaries of the world and encourage them to face dynamic international development. Nowadays, children are immersed as native digital users more so than generations past. Therefore, this research is a research and development (R&D) that aims to design, develop and validate an English digital poster book Model teaching English in Indonesia’s early childhood education using the ADDIE Models. This model consists of five steps: analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate. The product of this research was developed and then evaluated by four content experts. The result showed that all content experts considered that the final version of an English digital poster book for teaching English in Indonesia’s early childhood education was practical and valid. Based on the observation, most children are excited to use this product in learning English. Teachers also claimed that this product was so interesting, easy to understand, appropriate to the level of difficulty for children in learning English, easy to operate, and can guide them to in teaching English at kindergarten level.

Published: March 2023

This research uncovers the types of Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) proposed by Horwitz, Elaine K., Horwitz, Michael B., & Joann Cope (1986) felt by students. This research uses instrument of Belief About Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) proposed by Horwitz, Elaine K. (1988) in the form of questionnaire using Guttman scale. It is narrative design of qualitative research. Furthermore, the analysis is completed by thematic analysis passing five steps to draw a conclusion correlated with the respondents’ respond to the questionnaire. The respondents of this research are the university students of Economic Department, Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara (UISU), Indonesia, Academic Year 2022-2023. The research result found that the highest percentage of people who are anxious about language learning is 64%. It focuses on test anxiety, specifically fear of making mistakes, followed by fear of negative evaluation, specifically fear of receiving a low grade (63%). Then it is on test anxiety, specifically feeling inferior (57%) followed by fear of negative evaluation, specifically fear of correction (49%). Finally, communication anxiety: lack of self-confidence ranks fifth (43%) followed by fear of speaking (35%). Because the percentage of test anxiety and fear of negative evaluation is higher than that of communication skill, the researchers conclude that what makes students anxious in learning foreign language (English) is the grammar or structure of the language.
Dynamics and Bifurcation for One Non-linear System
Authors: Hadžiabdić Vahidin , Mehuljić Midhat , Bektešević Jasmin , Metović Sadjit
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we observed the ordinary differential equation (ODE) system and determined the equilibrium points. To characterize them, we used the existing theory developed to visualize the behavior of the system. We describe the bifurcation that appears, which is characteristic of higher-dimensional systems, that is when a fixed point loses its stability without colliding with other points. Although it is difficult to determine the whole series of bifurcations that lead to chaos, we can say that it is a common opinion that it is precisely the Hopf bifurcation that leads to chaos when it comes to situations that occur in applications. Here, subcritical and supercritical bifurcation occurs, and we can say that subcritical bifurcation represents a much more dramatic situation and is potentially more dangerous than supercritical bifurcation, technically speaking. Namely, bifurcations or trajectories jump to a distant attractor, which can be a fixed point, limit cycle, infinity, or in spaces with three or more dimensions, a foreign attractor.

Objective: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a rare condition, but it is a potential life threating obstetric event. Case report: A second-time mother, 32◦years old, has had a caesarean section before. At 11◦weeks, a doubt about scar pregnancy was posed but not confirmed at subsequent serial ultrasound evaluations. A caesarean section was performed at 38.4◦weeks for breech presentation. A placenta accreta, diagnosed during surgery and confirmed by histological evaluations, was visible at uterine examination with a lacuna in the anterior uterine wall. After fetal extraction, the surgeons opted for conservative management. Subsequent clinical and ultrasound followup described a patient in a good state of health with a progressively reduced intrauterine placenta residual. Conclusion: (1) Even in the absence of typical second- or third-trimester ultrasound signs, first trimester ultrasound played a role in posing the suspect of PAS. (2) Conservative management could be a safe option in cases of undiagnosed PAS, even if reported in the literature as a correlation with possible subsequent complications, which must be explained to the patient with adequate counseling
The Implications of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict on International Banking
Authors: He Guanzhong
Published: March 2023

This study analyzes the implications of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the international banking industry. The study establishes that the economic sanctions imposed on Russia have gravely affected the international banking sector. Primarily, the study highlights that the US government implemented a sanction that prohibits the Central Bank of Russia from using the US dollar for payments. This move has rendered all the reserves by the Russian government and its citizens, which are kept in US dollars worthless and inaccessible, leading to huge losses for domestic and international banks. Moreover, this study outlines that banning Russian financial institutions from using SWIFT has limited the financial payments that are being completed in the global banking sector between Russian consumers and companies, and other merchants across the world. This study also establishes that the withdrawal of services by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Paypal from the Russian economy as a protest against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has led to a decline in revenues for international banks. As a measure to mitigate the adverse implications of economic sanctions on sovereign states in the future, the study suggests the adoption of diverse global payment systems such as CIPS and SPFS, which can cushion the international banking industry against the potential adverse effects of being denied the right to use the world's dominant currencies and the SWIFT messaging system to make payments.

Authors: Ma Ranbo
Published: March 2023

Since the Federal Reserve's action of a series of interest rate increases in response to high inflation, the U.S. equity market as a whole and individual stocks have been under pressure from soft landing and recession concerns, which is reflected in stock prices. In this article, the impact of the Federal Reserve rate increase on Tesla stock returns will be evaluated. The applied VAR model will contribute to the analysis of the dynamic returns of stock returns. The results of the research will present the actual extent of the impact of the rate increase policy on the stock in quantitative terms, as Tesla is one of the top 10 multinational companies in terms of market capitalization has increased the reliability of the data model. The results imply that the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates has an extremely negative impact on stock yields and that this impact diminishes over time. For policymakers, this monetary policy can be effective in the short run effectively suppressing asset prices rather than absorbing more liquidity for their capital markets. For investors, the period of interest rate hikes is not the appropriate time to invest since company profits will be affected by the strength of the local currency which will not meet the expected standards.

Authors: Zhang Enrui
Published: March 2023

The research on machine leaning method for bank marketing has become a widely discussed topic. To obtain precise performances for bank marketing, KNN algorithm is utilized in this paper to forecast the success rate of telemarketing that focuses on whether a prospect will agree to a term deposit if a phone call is placed. The comparison experiments with three other machine learning models (Decision Tree, Random Forrest, and Naive Bayes) by using real data from a Portuguese banking institution revealed that KNN achieved the highest Accuracy (89.45 percent) and Precision (61.76 percent), thus proving the effectiveness of KNN. The proposed prediction method can also be adapted to operate within many other situations, creating a template when faced with the issue of direct marketing such as the increasing of the efficiency and profitability of telemarketing.
Valuing Coca-Cola Using Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Authors: Wen Zihan
Published: March 2023

Coca-Cola experienced a constant revenue decline from 2013 to 2018 due to the structural change of the company, and then COVID-19 impacted the world economy. However, in such an era filled with uncertainties, the market cap of Coca-Cola has barely fallen yet had a constant increase yearly. Thus, this paper uses DCF analysis to investigate the ‘intrinsic’ value of Coca-Cola and hence evaluate the rationality of the current market value of Coca-Cola. The future free cash flow is forecasted based on the historical free cash flows of Coca-Cola, and reasonable assumptions are made to discount the sum of the future free cash flow and give an answer of valuation. By conducting the analysis, the rationality of the current market value of Coca-Cola is justified, and it is realized that there is further potential for Coca-Cola to grow in the future by considering a wider range of financial metrics. It is suggested that Coca-Cola’s stock is a good choice for long-term investment.

Digital finance development has an important role in promoting economic transformation and has become a new engine leading the development of the real economy, while green innovation is an important goal of the current economic transformation to a green and sustainable one. Based on the panel data of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2018, this paper finds that digital finance has a significant promoting effect on the green innovation of new energy enterprises through panel data fixed effects regression model. Furthermore, through sub-sample regression, it is found that the promotion effect of digital finance on new energy enterprises is heterogeneous, and the promotion effect is more significant for state-owned enterprises and enterprises with more decentralized power. The above findings of this paper have important implications for the current economic transformation in China.

The changes in the housing market are not only related to human beings’ daily life, but also have an important impact on the national economy. The prediction of housing price is one of the most widely concerned topics, which is linked to the formulation of national real estate policies and the analysis of the economic situation. In this context, this paper takes housing price prediction as the topic, selects the Eames housing price dataset in Iowa, and uses supervised multiple linear regression and machine learning algorithm to train and test the real estate price prediction model. Among them, there are 79 explanatory variables, which are related to housing attributes and the explanatory variable is housing price. 1460 data is included in the training set and 1459 in the test set. In the part of machine learning algorithm, PaddlePaddle deep learning framework is used in this paper to train and test the models with the help of AI Studio platform. The experimental results show that the scatter plots of the real values are clustered and distributed on both sides of the predicted line, and their direct differences are within 30 points. According to the analysis, the real estate price prediction model based on linear regression and machine learning is reliable and stable. This paper aims to provide some suggestions for the housing price prediction. These results shed light on guiding the reference direction for investors, so as to guide the formulation of relevant policies.
