CRYPTOCURRENCIES: DEVELOPMENT, FEATURES AND CLASSIFICATION
Authors: Kucheryavenko M. P. , Dmytryk O. O. , Golovashevych O. O.
Published: November 2019

The advent of cryptocurrencies and rapid growth of crypto-networks heralded a new era in evolution of financial relations. The main goals achieved by introduction of cryptocurrencies included: a) removal of the third party (the government, banking and financial institutions) from transactions between the parties to a transfer; b) anonymity of the parties; c) transaction security. The governments of various countries of the world have a different stance as regards the use of cryptocurrencies, and in some cases, they consider this medium of exchange illegal. The transnational nature of transactions involving cryptocurrencies and the absence of physical borders for these transactions complicate legislative regulation of the circulation of cryptocurrencies in Ukraine.The use of cryptocurrencies has significant effect on the economies of Ukraine and other countries of the world due to easy dissemination and popularity of this technology and the growing capitalization of cryptocurrencies. The exchange of cryptocurrencies into fiduciary money and the possibility of gaining substantial profits on a cryptocurrency exchange due to high volatility of cryptocurrencies necessitate development, as soon as possible, of approaches to legislative regulation of both terminological apparatus related to circulation of cryptocurrencies and the exchange transaction procedures, profit taxation, etc. Considering the multisided nature of crypto-networks and the diversity of cryptocurrencies currently existing in the world (over 2000 variants as of today), classification of existing cryptocurrencies and definition of their features represents a contemporary task.This article characterizes development of blockchain technology that serves as the basis for the functioning of cryptocurrencies, defines their characteristic features, positive and innovative concepts implemented with their advent. Cryptocurrencies were classified based on various criteria (issue type, network decentralization, limitation on issue, controllability of cryptocurrency issue, etc.), and two groups of features typical either for all cryptocurrencies or for their certain variants were proposed. It was proposed to define a cryptocurrency as a variety of e-money used as an alternative additional currency and circulated within global computer networks on the basis of blockchain technology that envisages asymmetrical encryption and the use of various cryptographic protection methods.

Published: November 2019

It is substantiated that the decrease due to the robotization of manufacturing process of the number of working places, should aim the state for the need to revise the tax system and change the approaches to financing free access of citizens to public goods. The robotization and automation of manufacturing process must be taxed, and the appropriate funds should be directed at the social security of citizens. These funds should be directed in accordance with the newly adopted laws on professional, spiritual, cultural and physical development of the individual through the creation of a system of free access to public goods. The robotization and automation of manufacturing process should be aimed at facilitating and improving the lives and health of workers, in particular by reducing the workplaces in hazardous, harmful and difficult working conditions, which requires appropriate changes to labor legislation. Free from work time appeared due to robotization and automation of the manufacturing process should be aimed at the training of workers, and it should also get its regulatory consolidation. There are defended the following key ideas in the article: 1) taxation of roboters’ work in proportion to reduced workplaces; 2) the formation, distribution and use of tax revenues from robotization should be subordinated to social goals based on the principles of «justice» and «social function of property». The funds from the taxation of robots should be aimed at ensuring standards of decent life such as: education, health, culture, security; 3) the states should stimulate the primary robotization of manufacturing processes conducted in hazardous, unsafe and difficult working conditions. For example, the manufacturing processes carried out in contaminated with harmful substances in the sites; underground work; work at low or high temperatures; heavy work related to lifting and moving loads etc.; 4) today it is necessary to reform the system of education and training of specialists in accordance with the perspective needs of labor market, where continuity of training should become the basis for professional development of the employee.

Diseño experimental: Una utopía posible
Authors: Valdés de León Gustavo A.
Published: November 2019

A pesar de que la Ciencia -ese Saber sin Sujeto- no siempre fue experimental y aunque no todas las ciencias pueden serlo, la experimentación de ha convertido en el estandarte que distingue a la Ciencia de todas las demas formas de conocimiento y con el cual legítima su pretensión de encarnar el saber “verdadero”.Conforme las Ciencias, en particular las ciencias físicas y naturales, se van profesionalizando, burocratizando y mercantilizando, las Artes se postulan como un espacio con mayor libertad y disponibilidad para la experimentación. El Diseño moderno -en el sentido mas amplio del término-, siempre a medio camino entre el método racional y la intuición artística, en tanto saber práctico al servicio de la producción de mercancías y servicios, parece desprovisto de vocación experimental. ¿Qué condiciones -institucionales, materiales y subjetivas- debería darse para que el Diseño pueda desplegar esa reprimida pulsión experimentadora? En otras palabras, ¿Qué hacer para que la práctica experimental en las disciplinas proyectuales sea posible?
Arquitectura, Diseño y nuevos medios: una perspectiva crítica en la obra de Antoni Muntadas.
Authors: Hernández García Iliana
Published: November 2019

La habitabilidad crítica es una manera conceptual y sensorial para pensar las instalaciones del artista catalánAntoni Muntadas. En ellas se despliegan dispositivos críticos que plantean procesos experienciales y reflexivos en los cuales se escenifican las distintas formas de control y de alienación de la sociedad, especialmente desarrolladas por la publicidad, el diseño, la arquitectura, las redes, los medios de comunicación. Estas instalaciones operan como dispositivos de percepción y reflexión en el sentido en que Foucault y Deleuze los definieran, y así plantean líneas de fuga y dinámicas que permiten la ruptura.

La aparición de la estrella en el cine clásico norteamericano. Su incidencia formal en la instancia enunciativa del film hollywoodense
Authors: Maldonado Leonardo
Published: November 2019

La “transparencia” enunciativa que normalmente se adjudica al cine clásico norteamericano ha sido cuestionada por varios autores desde distintas perspectivas. En este ensayo, se la aborda desde un nuevo lugar: la entrada a escena de la estrella. En el momento en que el astro o la diva aparece en el cuerpo del film, el aparato de la enunciación despliega y pone en evidencia su enorme potencial significante, quebrando (o traicionando) así su supuesta “invisibilidad”.

Asimismo, encuentra ciertas claves que revelan de qué manera Borges es un artista y un pensador que anticipó el porvenir. Sus creaciones literarias y las operaciones de su pensamiento vislumbraron lo que vendrá, un universo digital que no conoció, pero que presintió.

Narrative Agency and Structural Chaos. A Biographical-Narrative Case Study
Authors: Filipkowski Piotr
Published: November 2019

The article is an analysis of a single case—a biographical narrative of a Tri-City resident who enters adulthood at the beginning of political transformation in 1989, and whose life path turns out to be an unintentional, dynamic journey between various professions, social worlds and structural positions. This creates a complicated and ambiguous biographical pattern which does not fall into either the socio-economic promotion of the “winner” or into the degradation of the transformation “loser.” The reconstruction of this pattern reveals the hero’s great resourcefulness and entrepreneurship, but also the fragility of the structures stabilizing his life and the volatility of life orientation points. The binder of this biography turns out to be, above all, reflexivity and, what I suggest calling, the narrative agency of the narrator, who can transform his structurally dispersed and chaotic life experiences of the time of transformation into a very original story, making him a strong subject of his own fate. This, however, creates the inevitable tension between the experienced or lived life, life history and the narrated life, life story, prompting us to again pose the question about the commonly assumed, although differently defined, correspondence between the level of reality and the level of its linguistic (in this case—autobiographical) representation.

The Association Among Structural Quality, Operational Competence And Emergency Outpatient Visits: A Longitudinal Analysis Of US Community Hospitals
Authors: Elsaleiby Aber
Published: November 2019

The aim of the current study is to enhance our understanding on how hospital’s structural quality and operational competence can influence the emergency outpatient visits. We use a large database acquired from the American Hospital Association. The database has state-wide data on several health care quality parameters of interest over an extended period of 17 years starting from 1994 till 2010 for all community hospitals in the US. (4,926 community hospitals). Structural quality is captured by a measure of bed availability and usage. Operational competence is measured by the expense per capita. Finally, data on emergency outpatient visits is our outcome measure. We found that there is a significant negative association between structural quality and emergency outpatient visits. Similarly, there is a significant negative association between hospital operational performance and emergency outpatient visits. It is confirmed in this study that at high level of operational performance, increasing the structural quality will be associated with lower emergency outpatient visits. The interaction effect between structural quality and operational performance on emergency outpatient visits is also significant. As such, structural quality of hospitals can reduce emergency outpatient visits. Hospitals endeavor to improve its operational performance also reduces emergency outpatient visits. Joint emphasis on improving bed utilization and improving operational performance can further decrease emergency outpatient visits.

Authors: Esteves Andrea Maculano , Pancotto Heloísa Pereira , Silva Adrielly Nascimento
Published: November 2019

This study aimed to analyze the effect of sleep extension and restriction on the physical performance of athletes with visual and intellectual disabilities. We evaluated 10 athletics athletes who participated in three experimental conditions: basal, extension (+90 min) and restriction of sleep (-90 min). Questionnaires on sleep quality (Pittsburgh) and sleepiness (Karolinska) and a sleep diary were applied. To evaluate physical performance, stress tests (simulation of official test) were performed. The results demonstrated that the visual disabilities presented higher sleep efficiency and lower latencies in the restriction period, as well as a significant PSQI score for altered sleep quality. However, no statistically significant differences for the extension and reduction sleep moments. These results suggest that the visually impaired may enjoy positive consequences from sleep restriction, since it restricts the sleep period and results in a better sleep quality.

„Vratit ćemo narodu državu” – desni populizam, nacionalizam i novi izazovi
Authors: Mišćević Nenad
Published: November 2019

Tema rada je desni populizam, vrlo jak i raširen na cijeloj sjevernoj polutki; ovdje nas zanima naša zemlja i njoj najbliže. Najprije općenito karakteriziramo populizam, a onda razmatramo njegov odnos s najbližim mu pojavama, nacionalizmom i patriotizmom. Zanimljiv je fenomen u Hrvatskoj odsutnost snažnih jasno populističkih stranki usprkos snažnoj nacionalističkoj orijentaciji u izbornoj bazi; najjednostavnije je objašnjenje da je HDZ uspio preuzeti važne teme desnog populizma, a ipak sačuvati formu i ideologiju parlamentarne demokracije. Koliko je to rješenje stabilno vidjet će se u budućnosti. Uspon populizma promijenio je okvir političkih dilema kod nas i u svijetu; zastupnici suprotnih stajališta sada moraju ponovno promisliti pretpostavke na kojima djeluju i ponuditi nova rješenja.

Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) acts during stress-responses, modulating mRNA translation and nutrient metabolism. Atxn2 knockout mice exhibit progressive obesity, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. Conversely, the progressive ATXN2 gain-of-function due to polyGlutamine (polyQ) expansions leads to a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative process named spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2), with early adipose tissue loss and late muscle atrophy. We tried to understand lipid dysregulation in a SCA2 patient brain and in an authentic mouse model. Thin layer chromatography of a patient cerebellum was compared to the lipid metabolome of Atxn2-CAG100-KnockIn (KIN) mouse spinocerebellar tissue. The human pathology caused deficits of sulfatide, galactosylceramide, cholesterol, C22/24-sphingomyelin and gangliosides GM1a/GD1b, despite quite normal levels of C18-sphingomyelin. Cerebellum and spinal cord from the KIN mouse showed a consistent decrease of various ceramides, with a significant elevation of sphingosine in the more severely affected spinal cord. Deficiency of C24/26-sphingomyelins contrasted with excess C18/20-sphingomyelin. Spinocerebellar expression profiling revealed consistent reductions of CERS protein isoforms, of Sptlc2 and Smpd3, but upregulation of Cers2 mRNA, as prominent anomalies in the ceramide-sphingosine metabolism. Reduction of Asah2 mRNA correlated to deficient S1P levels. In addition, downregulations for the elongase Elovl1, Elovl4, Elovl5 mRNAs and ELOVL4 protein explain the deficit of very-long-chain sphingomyelin. Reduced ASMase protein levels correlated to the accumulation of long-chain sphingomyelin. Overall, a deficit of myelin lipids was prominent in SCA2 nervous tissue at prefinal stage, not compensated by transcriptional adaptation of several metabolic enzymes. Myelination is controlled by mTORC1 signals, so our human and murine observations are in agreement with the known role of ATXN2 yeast, nematode and mouse orthologs as mTORC1 inhibitors and autophagy promoters.
Activity and Affinity of Pin1 Variants

Pin1 is a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase responsible for isomerizing phosphorylated S/T-P motifs. Pin1 has two domains that each have a distinct ligand binding site, but only its PPIase domain has catalytic activity. Vast evidence supports interdomain allostery of Pin1, with binding of a ligand to its regulatory WW domain impacting activity in the PPIase domain. Many diverse studies have made mutations in Pin1 in order to elucidate interactions that are responsible for ligand binding, isomerase activity, and interdomain allostery. Here, we summarize these mutations and their impact on Pin1’s structure and function.
Renormalization and Fractals among Sets beyond (Empty) Boundaries
Authors: Adachi Shun
Published: November 2019

In previous studies, the authors utilized a single-dimensional operationalization of species density that implies induction of hierarchy and time with certain topologies. For further clarification of induced fractals including the relation to renormalization in physics, here a theoretical development is proposed based on a newly identified fact, namely that scaling parameters for magnetization exactly correspond to imaginary parts of Riemann zeta nontrivial zeros. An analogy to magnetization and accompanying Fake Monster Algebra is invoked to lend support to this theory, along with empirical species density data for a wild Dictyostelia community. A master torus and a Lagrangian/Hamiltonian are derived expressing fractal structures as a solution for diminishing divergent terms in renormalization.

BACKGROUND: During the natural history, the incidence HTLV-1 related diseases were 0.5% until 10% after decades of infection. Despite relative low lethality, previous study observed that HTLV-1 infection is associated with significantly increased mortality. For example, the incidence of ATLL and HAM/TSP, co-infections with HIV and HCV, parasitic co-infection with Strongyloides stercoralis may increase morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE: Determine the mortality rate and its major variables as possible risk factors, analyzing the HTLV Clinic at Emilio Ribas Institute, a continuous open cohort of HTLV patients since 1997. METHODS: This cohort open cohort possesses new patients added at a rate of approximately 50 patients/year. There were 1100 HTLV-infected subjects identified by September 30th 2018. All clinical data including clinical and laboratory data, which have been updated on a regular basis over the last 22 years, were entered into a specific REDCap database. The Ethical Board of the IIER approved the protocol. RESULTS: Along 22 years of clinical care in the HTLV-out clinic, 727 HTLV-1-infected subjects and 248 HAM/TSP cases. Four-hundred sixty-eight patients of whom remaining under active follow up. The mean follow-up time of the cohort was 12 years. Twenty-seven patients died (median age of 51,5 years old). From this total, 13 was asymptomatic carriers and 14 HAM/TSP subjects, 12 of asymptomatic and seven HAM/TSP possess co-infected with HIV or/and HCV. Other seven presented HAM/TSP without co-infection, and all was female, and sepsis was the majority cases the majority of cases of sepsis were related to infection of the urinary tract (p=0.058) and to ulcers of decubitus (p=0.021), and it was associated with risk factors for mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the mortality rate for HAM-TSP patients was six percent. The mean life expectancy in Brazil is about 78 years in 2018, twenty-two years higher than HAM/TSP patients without any other coinfection. This study highlights the possibility of higher death risk among HTLV-1-infected patients and HAM/TSP subjects in Brazil, and identified some risk factors for this outcome. Also, these patients may possess higher risk for morbidity, usually urinary tract infections and decubitus scars, which could increase risk for death.

Published: November 2019

The diffusion coefficients of ions are measured in a microchip filled with a cationic charged 3D hydrogel in order to study the effect of cationic charged 3D hydrogel on the diffusivity of ions. In this study, poly-diallyl-dimethyl-ammoniumchloride (poly-DADMAC) is used to produce a 3D hydrogel. Four different fluorophores are used in the 3D hydrogel rhodamine 6G, rhodamine-BSA, fluorescein isothio-cyanate (FITC) and FITC-BSA. The rhodamine 6G and rhodamine-BSA are positively charged (cations), while fluorescein isothio-cyanate (FITC) and FITC-BSA are negatively charged (anions). Two widely used techniques which are short time diffusivity measurement technique and long time diffusivity measurement techniques are used to measure the diffusion coefficients. For the short time measurement, Fluorescence recovery after photo-bleaching (FRAP) is used by a 3D confocal microscope. For the long time measurement, fluorescence images are taken for 11 days to observe a pure diffusivity without any convective movement. As a result, the diffusivity of the cations was found to be lower than that of the anions in the cationic charged hydrogel.
Quality Criteria to Evaluate Performant and Scope of 2030 Agenda in Metropolitan Areas: Case Study on Strategic Planning of Environmental Municipality Management

Published: November 2019

The UN’s 2030 Agenda brings new governance challenges to municipal environmental planning, both in large urban centres and in metropolitan peripheries. The opportunities of the new framework of action proposed by the United Nations (UN) and its integrative, global and transversal nature constitute advances from the previous models of municipal management based on the Local Agenda 21. This text provides evidence to apply quality criteria and validated instruments of participatory evaluation. These instruments have been built on the foundation of Evaluative Research, a scientific discipline that provides rigour and validity to those decisions adopted at a municipal level. A case study focused on a metropolitan area serves as a field of experimentation for this model of the modernization of environmental management structures at a local level. Details of the instruments, agents, priority decision areas, methodologies, participation processes and quality criteria are provided, as well as an empirically validated model for participatory municipal management based on action research processes and strategic planning that favours a shared responsibility across all social groups in the decision-making process and in the development of continuous improvement activities that are committed to sustainability. Finally, a critical comparison of weaknesses and strengths is included in light of the evidence collected.
