The risk of asthma is influenced by TNF-α -238G/A, TNF-α -308G/A and IL-6 -174G/C polymorphisms: evidence from a meta-analysis
Authors: Zhu Qin , Zhang Hanghu , Wang Jing , Wu Yinxia , Chen Xiaohong
Published: July 2020

Background: Several genetic epidemiological studies have already investigated associations between Th1-related cytokine polymorphisms and the risk of asthma, with inconsistent findings. Accordingly, the authors conducted a meta-analysis to more robustly assess associations between Th1-related cytokine polymorphisms and the risk of asthma by integrating the results of eligible literatures.Methods: A through literature searching in Medline, Embase, Wanfang, VIP and CNKI was conducted by the authors to identify eligible literatures, and sixty-nine genetic epidemiological studies were finally found to be eligible for integrated quantitative analyses.Results: We noticed that genotypic frequencies of TNF-α -238G/A (dominant comparison: OR=0.47, p=0.006; over-dominant comparison: OR=1.87, p=0.03; allele comparison: OR=0.50, p=0.004), TNF-α -308G/A (dominant comparison: OR=0.76, p=0.001; over-dominant comparison: OR=1.29, p=0.002; allele comparison: OR=0.81, p=0.0009) and IL-6 -174G/C (dominant comparison: OR=0.55, p=0.0008) polymorphisms among cases with asthma and population-based controls differed significantly. However, we did not detect such genotypic distribution difference for the IL-1B −511C/T polymorphism. Conclusions: The present meta-analysis shows that TNF-α -238G/A, TNF-α -308G/A and IL-6 -174G/C polymorphisms may affect the risk of asthma.
Factors Influencing Antenatal Care Utilization in the East Akim Municipality of Ghana
Authors: Amoako Richard Dickson , Doku Innocent Kwau , Enos Juliana Yartey
Published: July 2020

Background

Maternal and neonatal mortality rates continue to be high in sub-Saharan African countries, including Ghana. Timely and regular antenatal care (ANC) during pregnancy are essential for early identification and management of potential risk factors associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the uptake of ANC services in the East Akim Municipality of Ghana and identify factors influencing ANC utilization.
Methods

A cross-sectional study which employed stratified sampling methodology to select 310 women in their reproductive ages (15–49 years) in East Akim Municipality was conducted. A structured questionnaire was used to examine the determinants of ANC utilization among respondents. Data was managed using Microsoft Excel 2016 and analysed using Stata version 14. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed.
Results

ANC attendance, at least once during pregnancy, was almost universal (98.4%) with 83.5% making 4 + visits. However, only 58% of respondents made early ANC visits in the first trimester and 61% attended all regularly scheduled visits. Employment status, distance to health facility and pregnancy intention were significantly associated with regular ANC attendance. Self-employed women were 2.4 times more likely to attend ANC regularly (AOR: 2.42, 95%CI :1.20–4.88) than the unemployed; those who lived < 5 km to a health facility were 3.2 times more likely to attend ANC regularly than those who lived > 10 km (AOR: 3.24, 95%CI: 1.20, 8.72); and women with intended pregnancies were 2.5 times more likely to attend all ANC scheduled visits than those with unintended pregnancies (AOR: 2.46, 95%CI: 1.32, 4.57).
Conclusion

Although ANC utilization in East Akim Municipality is high, socioeconomically disadvantaged women who were unemployed; lived more than 10 km from a health facility; and those with unintended pregnancies did not attend ANC early and regularly. Interventions to ensure equitable access to quality reproductive health services at the community level for all women, irrespective of their socioeconomic background, is needed to improve timely and regular ANC utilization. These include strengthening of community-based health centers, provision of ANC through outreach services to poor women in remote, hard-to-reach locations and improvements in the socioeconomic conditions in which people live.
Promoting The Integrated Community Case Management of Under-Five Pneumonia In Nigeria: A Cost-Benefit Analysis
Authors: Okafor Charles , Ekwunife Obinna
Published: July 2020

BackgroundWhile evidence-based recommendations for the management of under-five pneumonia at the community level were made by the World Health Organisation, the implementation remains poor in Nigeria. Initiatives to promote the integrated community case management (iCCM) of pneumonia through the proprietary and patent medicine vendors (PPMVs) have been poorly utilized possibly due to low financial support and perceived benefit. This study provides cost and benefit estimates and implications of promoting the iCCM through the PPMVs’ education and support. The outcome of this study will help inform healthcare decisions in Nigeria. MethodsThis study was a cost-benefit analysis using simulation-based decision-analytic Markov model. Two approaches were compared, the current scenario which is the use of amoxicillin dispersible tablet (DT) and amoxicillin DT plus promotion. Health outcomes include disability-adjusted life years averted (converted to monetary benefit) and severe pneumonia hospitalisation cost averted. Both the cost and benefit were expressed in 2018 US dollars. ResultsThe incremental benefit-cost ratio of promoting the iCCM was 1.37, while the total net-benefit was $3.31 (95% CI: $2.08 – 4.76) million from the whole country perspective, which will offset over three-quarter of the promotion cost. Implementing the promotion exercise at a cost above $6.82 million will not be a worthwhile decision. ConclusionPromoting the iCCM for the treatment of pneumonia in children under-five through education and support of the PPMVs holds promises to harness the benefits amoxicillin DT and provide a high return on investment. A nationwide promotion exercise should be considered especially in remote areas of the country.
Worldwide inverse correlation between Bacille Calmette-Guérin immunization and COVID-19 morbidity and mortality
Authors: Li Willis X.
Published: July 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread to all countries in the world after more than six months since it was first reported in late 2019, and different countries have been impacted differently. Correlation analysis between COVID-19 death numbers and different demographic and socioeconomic factors for all world countries (n=210) as of June 1, 2020, reveals that COVID-19 deaths per million population in a country significantly correlates with the country’s median age (r=0.48, p=4.8e-4) and per capita gross domestic product (GDP) (r=0.55, p=4.14e-5), and inversely correlates with the country’s Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination rate (r=–0.63, p=9.9e-7). COVID-19 death is found not significantly associated, however, with a country’s policy stringency index, population density, extreme poverty rate, hospital beds availability per thousand people, and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP3) immunization. Old age is likely a confounding factor for the correlation between COVID-19 and per capita GDP (r=0.66, p=2.3e-7). To control for possible confounding effects of age, countries with similar median age were grouped and analyzed. The inverse correlation between BCG vaccination rates and COVID-19 case (r=–0.338, p=0.0082) and death (r=–0.411, p=0.0011) remained significant among the top 61 countries with highest median age. The current study suggests that BCG might be protective against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Published: July 2020

DevOps es un término relativamente nuevo que apareció por primera vez en 2009. Sin embargo, empresas como Etsy, Facebook, Amazon o Netflix son líderes en la implementación del nuevo paradigma. En este trabajo se presenta un conjunto de lineamientos para la implementación del modelo CALMS (DevOps) en mipymes de desarrollo de software en el contexto surcolombiano, así como un modelo que tiene en cuenta los aspectos técnicos y organizacio-nales para lograr un ambiente de desarrollo novedoso que permita la integración de DevOps al contexto del desarrollo de software colombiano. El modelo fue probado en una empresa mipyme y los resultados son alentadores. Se pasó de hacer un despliegue semanal a un despliegue diario, y de los 20 despliegues que se hicieron en total, 16 fueron puestos exitosamente en producción. Finalmente, discutimos cómo DevOps puede incrementar la productividad de las organizaciones de desarrollo de software y cómo la implementación de los lineamientos en un ambiente integrado y probado puede incrementar la competitividad de las empresas de software en un mercado globalizado.

Published: July 2020

Este artículo presenta un análisis sobre las teorías sociológicas del envejecimiento y la vejez, incluyendo sus influencias actuales en la investigación académica y el diseño de políticas públicas. La metodología es de tipo cualitativo, de niveles relacional y explicativo. Se revisaron la teorías sociológicas del envejecimiento y la vejez utilizando técnicas de análisis documental. Se encuentra que estas teorías se han agrupado en tres generaciones, a partir de 1949, cada una con unos matices particulares. Las de primera generación se enfocan en asignarle a las personas viejas su lugar en la sociedad; las de segunda, en identificar sus formas de relacionarse; las de tercera tienen una perspectiva crítica respecto a las previas. Esta revisión de las teorías existentes revela que el campo teórico y sociopolítico relacionado con el envejecimiento y la vejez es heterogéneo y sirve como escenario de enfrentamiento entre posturas muchas veces contradictorias.
Safe therapy of osteoarthritis: place of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Authors: Chichasova N. V. , Imametdinova G. R. , Lila A. M.
Published: July 2020

The article discusses the social significance of osteoarthritis as a widespread disease that develops mainly in older people, which makes it difficult to carry out anti-inflammatory and analgesic therapy due to the frequent combination of osteoarthritis with other diseases at this age, the need to treat comorbid conditions, which is often poorly combined with systemic therapy with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is noted that osteoarthritis not only worsens the quality of life of patients, but also leads to a decrease in the length of their life, which emphasizes the medical and social importance of conducting the safest possible therapy for this disease. Data on the negative impact of the presence of chronic pain on the progression of osteoarthritis are presented. The negative aspects of the use of oral forms of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are discussed: the development of adverse events primarily from the gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system, the negative effect on the synthesis of glycoaminoglycans («chondronegative effect»). Discusses the place of topical forms of NSAIDs in the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis in accordance with the recommendations of the International society for the use of topical forms of NSAIDs in the management of patients with osteoarthritis of large and small joints. Data on transdermal transport of the topical form of diclofenac, a small molecule with lipophilic properties, are presented. Data on the effectiveness of topical forms of diclofenac in comparison with oral forms are presented according to numerous randomized controlled trials, and the comparable effectiveness of both forms of diclofenac is demonstrated, with maximum safety of the topical form. A special structure of Voltaren® Emulgel (Voltaren® Emulgel), combining the properties of a gel and cream, which provides rapid transdermal penetration and longer retention of the active substance in the area of inflammation, is described, as well as a special prolonged form of Voltaren® Emulgel), which creates additional convenience for use.
COVID-19 and Rheumatology: so far, so close
Authors: Belov B. S. , Muravyeva N. M. , Tarasova G. M.
Published: July 2020

The disease caused by the new coronavirus COVID-19 is considered by the world community as an emergency of internationalimportance. Along with the huge social importance, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a number of principally new clinical and fundamental problems of immunopathology of human diseases. This problem is extremely urgent for patients suffering from immune-inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IIRD) due to their higher exposure to infectious complications. Achieving and maintaining control over the activity of IIRD plays an important role in reducing the incidence of comorbid infections in these patients. It has been shown that patients with IIRD undergoing active anti-rheumatic therapy are most likely not characterized by increased risk of respiratory or other life-threatening complications within COVID-19 compared to the general population. Given the need for continued monitoring of patients receiving these therapy, unjustified “prophylactic” cancellation should nevertheless be avoided, thereby increasing the risk of relapse of major IIRD. The article also discusses the issues related to the use of basic anti-rheumatic drugs in COVID-19. Currently there is no evidence to support the therapeutic and prophylactic efficacy of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19. Tocilizumab can be considered as “lifesaving therapy” for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19, if other treatments have failed or are unavailable. The use of baricitinib in hospitalized pneumonia patients as part of COVID-19 should be considered with extreme caution. The need for further research to assess the potential role of baricitinib for these patients is highlighted. In the absence of a COVID-19 vaccine in a continuing pandemic, vaccination against influenza and pneumococcal infection should be strongly recommended to the absolute majority of patients with IIRD. This is associated with a high risk of fatal respiratory infection in rheumatological patients, especially given the high respiratory tract involvement in COVID-19.
Naldemedine: Peripherally Acting Opioid Receptor Antagonist for Treating Opioid-induced Adverse Effects
Authors: Inagaki Masanao , Kanemasa Toshiyuki , Yokota Takaaki
Published: July 2020

Opioids are widely used for pain management in moderate-to-severe pain. However, opioids
are associated with adverse events, such as constipation and emesis/vomiting. To reduce these undesired
effects, a structure–activity relationship study of morphinan derivatives was conducted, and a
promising lead compound with inhibitory effects on opioid receptors was obtained. Further improvement
in the potency and pharmacokinetic profiles of the lead compound led to the discovery of
naldemedine, which showed anti-constipation and anti-emetic effects against these adverse events that
were induced by morphine without influencing morphine’s analgesic effect. Naldemedine was launched
in Japan and the USA in 2017 and in the EU in 2019, for treating opioid-induced constipation.

Summarization
Authors: Parikh Vishal , Mehta Jay , Shah Saumyaa , Sharma Priyanka
Published: July 2020

Background:

With the technological advancement, the quality of life of a human were improved. Also with the
technological advancement large amount of data were produced by human. The data is in the forms of text, images and
videos. Hence there is a need for significant efforts and means of devising methodologies for analyzing and summarizing
them to manage with the space constraints. Video summaries can be generated either by keyframes or by skim/shot. The
keyframe extraction is done based on deep learning based object detection techniques. Various object detection algorithms
have been reviewed for generating and selecting the best possible frames as keyframes. A set of frames were extracted out
of the original video sequence and based on the technique used, one or more frames of the set are decided as a keyframe,
which then becomes the part of the summarized video. The following paper discusses the selection of various keyframe
extraction techniques in detail.

Methods :

The research paper is focused at summary generation for office surveillance videos. The major focus for the
summary generation is based on various keyframe extraction techniques. For the same various training models like
Mobilenet, SSD, and YOLO were used. A comparative analysis of the efficiency for the same showed YOLO giving
better performance as compared to the others. Keyframe selection techniques like sufficient content change, maximum
frame coverage, minimum correlation, curve simplification, and clustering based on human presence in the frame have
been implemented.

Results:

Variable and fixed length video summaries were generated and analyzed for each keyframe selection techniques
for office surveillance videos. The analysis shows that he output video obtained after using the Clustering and the Curve
Simplification approaches is compressed to half the size of the actual video but requires considerably less storage space.
The technique depending on the change of frame content between consecutive frames for keyframe selection produces the
best output for office room scenarios. The technique depending on frame content between consecutive frames for
keyframe selection produces the best output for office surveillance videos.

Conclusion:

In this paper, we discussed the process of generating a synopsis of a video to highlight the important portions
and discard the trivial and redundant parts. First, we have described various object detection algorithms like YOLO and
SSD, used in conjunction with neural networks like MobileNet to obtain the probabilistic score of an object that is present
in the video. These algorithms generate the probability of a person being a part of the image, for every frame in the input
video. The results of object detection are passed to keyframe extraction algorithms to obtain the summarized video. From our comparative analysis for keyframe selection techniques for office videos will help in determining which keyframe
selection technique is preferable.

The need of salt for industry in Central Java Province is still largely supplied by salt products from other provinces, even though Central Java is one of the major salt-producing provinces in Indonesia. This studyanalyzed supply chain models of salt in selected industry in Central Java.. The study was conducted through case study on two selected industrial groups: (1) the salt processing industry, represented by two salt processing companies and (2) the salt user industry, represented also by two salt users (food and non-food industry), in Central Java. Indepth interview was applied to collect data, included the data on the flow of goods, flow of finances, and flow of information patern. The data was used to finalize the structure and model of salt supply chain in Central Java. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis, which refers to SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference) model dimension. The study showed that the salt processing industry supplied majorly by out-region supplier, counted for 30 – 70% of raw salt material needed.. The salt processing industry with large storage tended to keep large amount of salt as investment (buffer stock). In addition, industry with smaller storage capacity attempted to enhance the stok utility and accelerated cash-to-cash conversion for the available salt. The salt supply chain model on the processing industry possessed good reliability. In addition, the fish processing and textile industry merely made purchase to local area suppliers. The textile industry applied a collaborative management and took leadership role in the collaborative supply chain to secure the salt supply continuity.

Waste to energy plays an important role in fulfilling the world’s future demands. The continuous climatic change which is primarily caused by the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases from the continuous use of fossil fuel due to high demand of energy in our society has affected the human race negatively over the years. Similarly, the improper disposal of agricultural waste (watermelon waste) in markets and environs creates pungent smell overtime and attracts harmful organisms in our environment, destroying the aesthetics of the market, therefore, making it environmentally unsafe for man. This paper therefore describes how feasible it is to produce bio-ethanol from agricultural waste with a focus on water melon. The waste was gotten from the market and processed to get the endocarp after which a locally fabricated juicing machine was utilized for extraction of the juice from the endocarp of watermelon waste. The fermentation pot housed 60 litres of juice for 5 days and laboratory test analysis was carried out during the period of fermentation, this was to monitor the progression of fermentation. The distillate produced 65.25% alcohol content with a volume of 19.5 litres. The utilization of watermelon waste for bio-ethanol production if exploited will lead to environmental sustainability, energy efficiency and waste to wealth.

A Quantum Money Solution to the Blockchain Scalability Problem
Authors: Coladangelo Andrea , Sattath Or
Published: July 2020

We put forward the idea that classical blockchains and smart contracts are potentially useful primitives not only for classical cryptography, but for quantum cryptography as well. Abstractly, a smart contract is a functionality that allows parties to deposit funds, and release them upon fulfillment of algorithmically checkable conditions, and can thus be employed as a formal tool to enforce monetary incentives.
In this work, we give the first example of the use of smart contracts in a quantum setting. We describe a simple hybrid classical-quantum payment system whose main ingredients are a classical blockchain capable of handling stateful smart contracts, and quantum lightning, a strengthening of public-key quantum money introduced by Zhandry [55]. Our hybrid payment system employs quantum states as banknotes and a classical blockchain to settle disputes and to keep track of the valid serial numbers. It has several desirable properties: it is decentralized, requiring no trust in any single entity; payments are as quick as quantum communication, regardless of the total number of users; when a quantum banknote is damaged or lost, the rightful owner can recover the lost value.
Entanglement-breaking superchannels
Authors: Chen Senrui , Chitambar Eric
Published: July 2020

In this paper we initiate the study of entanglement-breaking (EB) superchannels. These are processes that always yield separable maps when acting on one side of a bipartite completely positive (CP) map. EB superchannels are a generalization of the well-known EB channels. We give several equivalent characterizations of EB supermaps and superchannels. Unlike its channel counterpart, we find that not every EB superchannel can be implemented as a measure-and-prepare superchannel. We also demonstrate that many EB superchannels can be superactivated, in the sense that they can output non-separable channels when wired in series.We then introduce the notions of CPTP- and CP-complete images of a superchannel, which capture deterministic and probabilistic channel convertibility, respectively. This allows us to characterize the power of EB superchannels for generating CP maps in different scenarios, and it reveals some fundamental differences between channels and superchannels. Finally, we relax the definition of separable channels to include(p,q)-non-entangling channels, which are bipartite channels that cannot generate entanglement usingp- andq-dimensional ancillary systems. By introducing and investigatingk-EB maps, we construct examples of(p,q)-EB superchannels that are not fully entanglement breaking. Partial results on the characterization of(p,q)-EB superchannels are also provided.

World War has produced many negative effects. Environmental pollution is one of the negative effects of world war. Pollution in the world is increasingly alarming. On this basis, the United Nations conducted an environmental conference in June 1972 in Stockholm, Sweden. The Stockholm Conference is considered the highest peak of environmental awareness at the international level. The Stockholm Conference produced an environmental legal concept called suitanable development. The results of the Stockholm conference underwent follow-up and obliged the conference participant countries to ratify it. Indonesia fulfilled this obligation by establishing Law No. 4 of 1982 concerning the basic provisions of environmental management. The law has several important instruments in environmental protection, namely an analysis of environmental impacts and environmental quality standards. In 1997 the law was revised and underwent several additions to environmental protection instruments. The final revision of environmental law is Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning environmental protection and management. The latest law has more complex environmental protection instrumentsKeyword: History, Development, Environmental Law

KOMUNIKASI VERBAL DALAM KOMUNIKASI DAKWAH
Authors: Latif Umar
Published: July 2020

Al-Qur‟an banyak membicarakan persoalan-persoalan yang berhubungan dengan tata cara berbicara yang mengandung kebenaran dan keadilan. Maksud ini, secara sederhana, mengarah kepada sejumlah istilah yang dibicarakan di dalam Al-Qur‟an. Menurut Al-Qur‟an, kata qawlan sadida, qawlan ma’rufa dan al-haq, dimungkinkan untuk dimaknai ke dalam pemahaman yang berhubungan dengan pemanfaatan fungsi lidah sebagai media berkomunikasi. Bahkan Al-Qur‟an berpandangan bahwa setiap istilah semestinya tidak hanya berfungsi menyerap sejumlah informasi dan membentuk pengetahuan, melainkan berfungsi untuk dapat membentuk sebuah keyakinan dalam bentuk perbuatan itu sendiri, dalam arti yang luas semisal mengandung nilai keadilan dan kebenaran. Oleh karena itu, dari ketiga istilah ini, penulis dalam konteks ini akan menelusuri dari segi tujuan dan fungsi yang dimunculkan melalui fungsi lidah sebagai media komunikasi, yang dinilai berharga bagi manusia dibandingkan dengan makhluk-makhluk lainnya; karenanya indera ini adalah sisi pembeda sekaligus sebagai mata rantai untuk mengenal maksud makna yang dikandungnya. Bahkan pengenalan kepada makna ini secara tepat dan benar merupakan suatu konklusi bahwa manusia telah berada pada sisi pengetahuan yang benar secara menyeluruh. Kata Kunci: Komunikasi verbal  dan Pemaknaan dalam Islam

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Rasulullah dalam mengembangkan dakwahnya di Mekkah menggunakan beberapa strategi pertama yang dilakukan adalah berdakwah secara personal dan tertutup serta tersembunyi khususnya kepada keluarga terdekat, membentuk kader dakwah dan pelatihan praktek ibadah di rumah al-Arqam bin Abil Arqam, memperkuat hubungan dan dukungan kepada keluarga. Strategi selanjutnya adalah dakwah terang-terangan di bukit Shafa, mencari suaka politik untuk perlindungan, melakukan pawai, menawarkan Islam kepada kabilah dan individu, melakukan dakwah pada musim haji, mengadakan pertemuan pada musim haji secara sembunyi, serta  mengikat komitmen dengan melakukan pembai‟atan. . Peluang dakwah rasul yaitu adanya  dorongan dan kasih sayang serta bantuan ekonomi dari Khadijah al-Kubra, kontribusi dana dan motivasi dari Abu Bakar Ash-Shiddiq, Umar bin Khaththab, Utsman bin „Affan, adanya perlindungan dari Abu Thalib, sikap raja Habasyah mengizinkan serta melindungi kaum muslimin.

MENGEJAR WISUDA SARJANA MENURUT PERSPEKTIF KONSELING ISLAM
Authors: Yusuf M. Jamil
Published: July 2020

Abstrak            Mahasiswa yang telah menyelesaikan studi di suatu perguruan tinggi berhak memperoleh gelar sarjana. Mengejar adanya gelar ini idealnya ditempuh sesuai prosedur, mencurahkan segenap potensi pikir dan ikhtiar, dan tujuannya pun untuk mengemban amanah keilmuwan dan memaksimalkan pengabdiannya kepada agama, bangsa dan Negara. Fenomena yang mengemuka akhir-akhir ini bahwa gelar tersebut  diupayakan dengan cara-cara melanggar etika keilmuwan, untuk tujuan-tujuan popularitas hingga merendahkan martabat kesarjanaan, bahkan tidak memperlihatkan produktifitas keilmuwannya dalam meneliti atau menulis karya ilmiah.  Dalam perspektif konseling Islam, fenomena ini dipandang sebagai sebuah “kasus” penyakit yang mulai menggejala di kalangan generasi muda melenial, yakni tidak mampu berpikir logis dan tidak terampil menggunakan teknologi untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidupnya. Generasi melenial ini perlu dibantu dengan layanan konseling Islam untuk pengembangan kebermaknaan hidupnya. Konseling Islam sudah seharusnya membantu mereka ini untuk mampu merumuskan tujuan hidup yang sejalan dengan kebermaknaan hidup sebagai seorang Muslim. Dalam konsep kebermaknaan hidup ini seorang Muslim harus mampu mendorong dirinya untuk melakukan berbagai kegiatan, seperti kuliah, bekerja dan berkarya agar hidupnya dirasakan berarti dan berharga. Kata Kunci: Wisuda Sarjana, Konseling Islam
European deposit insurance scheme and bank board composition
Authors: Arnaboldi Francesca , Capizzi Vincenzo
Published: July 2020

This paper investigates whether bank corporate governance can play a role in the aggregate risk score assigned to individual banks by regulators. We exploit regulatory changes at the European level and a fixed-effects model to reduce endogeneity issues. We contribute to the existing literature on bank corporate governance by showing that board age significantly increases bank risk. This may indicate that boards formed by older members are more entrenched and can also be less dynamic. Board size and gender composition of the board are risk-neutral.

A premise of this issue seems appropriate. The coronavirus epidemic has caused an abrupt economic and social disruption and markets are reacting accordingly. Many economies around the world could suffer from falling GDP, due to growing lockdown measures and the millions of people absent from work, the closure of schools and thousands of restaurants and other closed businesses. Therefore, financial markets are experiencing levels of extreme volatility, while investors are grappling with the various consequences that this virus could bring with it. In this regard, on March 11th, 2020 the European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA) published recommendations addressed to participants in the financial markets, precisely in consideration of the spread of COVID-19 and the related impacts on the European Union economy (ESMA, 2020). In particular, after examining the market situation and the emergency measures adopted by the various participants in the financial markets, ESMA made 4 recommendations on the following areas: 1) business continuity planning; 2) market disclosure; 3) financial reporting; 4) fund management.

Authors: Pinzon Ivan Dario
Published: July 2020

El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la efectividad de la Fisioterapia en la inhibición muscular artrogénica. Se realizaron búsquedas en las bases PEDro, Embase, Scielo y PubMed para identificar ensayos controlados aleatorios (ECA) de intervenciones de Fisioterapia en la inhibición muscular artrogénica. La literatura incluyo referencias en inglés, español y portugués, publicados entre Enero de 2000 y Junio de 2017. Se identificaron 7 ensayos clínicos que se incluyeron en esta revisión y 4 Revisión Sistemática/Meta-análisis. Se realizó una evaluación crítica de la literatura y se procesó una descripción narrativa debido al pequeño número de ECA. La evidencia muestra que la intervención fisioterapéutica puede ser beneficiosa para el manejo de la inhibición muscular artrogénica, sin embargo, el resultado de baja calidad de la evaluación crítica y el pequeño número de ensayos sugieren que se requieren ECA de alta calidad para examinar más a fondo los efectos de la intervención fisioterapéutica en el control de la inhibición muscular artrogénica.
