Vertical Sharing and Horizontal Distribution of Federal-Provincial Transfers in Canada, 1983-2018
Authors: Sethia Deepak
Published: May 2021

The Canada health transfer (CHT), the Canada social transfer (CST), and the equalization program are the main pillars of intergovernmental transfers in Canada. These transfers aim to address the vertical and horizontal fiscal imbalances that arise within the Canadian federation. This article provides a framework for the decomposition of federal transfers into their vertical and horizontal components. The empirical analysis is carried out for the period 1983-2018, which is divided into seven subperiods for analytical purposes. The results for the most recent subperiod, 2015-2018, show that (1) vertical, horizontal, and surplus transfers account for 74.85, 24.27, and 0.88 percent, respectively, of the total federal transfers; (2) the federal transfers addressed nearly 77 percent of the initial horizontal fiscal inequalities; (3) the equalization program is the primary channel for reducing horizontal fiscal inequalities, accounting for 85 percent of the total horizontal transfers; and (4) the CHT and CST have effectively become a channel for vertical transfers, contributing little toward horizontal equalization. In this context, there is potential for reform in the federal transfer system. The author suggests that vertical fiscal imbalances could be reduced by transferring tax points to provinces instead of providing specific-purpose transfers. The author also argues that immediate reforms are required in the fiscal stabilization program to address the concerns of oil-producing provinces that face a revenue shortfall because of the decline in oil prices.

Authors: Moya Díaz Emilio , Jaramillo Brun Nathalie , Parada Zamora Damaris , Cereceda Pérez Nicol
Published: May 2021

En todas las democracias los partidos políticos realizan designaciones, pero ya no tienen el monopolio de dicha función. A nivel local, los parlamentarios también cumplen aquel rol. El artículo describe el tipo de patronazgo que existe en el Gobierno Regional de La Araucanía aplicando una taxonomía de Panizza, Ramos y Scherlis (2014). Se utilizó un diseño cualitativo. Los resultados indican que los parlamentarios tienen mayor influencia que los partidos políticos e intendente en las designaciones. Es un patronazgo heterogéneo, pero que se asocia principalmente al clientelismo ya que posibilita la movilización de electores y el posicionamiento del parlamentario.
Página en blanco: discursos de resistencia para reconocer y documentar la violencia contra la mujer en el ambiente académico
Authors: Hernández-Ramírez Angélica María
Published: May 2021

Mientras las mujeres experimentan diferentes formas de violencia, los perpetradores usan las prácticas y comportamientos de las instituciones para controlar a las mujeres mediante coerción, fuerza física o silencio. Este estudio revisa y analiza el marco legal y los discursos públicos asociados a los informes de quejas dirigidos a la Universidad Veracruzana. México posee un marco legal para promover los derechos de las mujeres y la universidad posee un marco regulatorio para apoyar el bienestar de las mujeres en el ambiente académico. Pero, existe un discurso de resistencia basado en la normalización, desvío de la atención y prácticas que legitiman la violencia contra las mujeres en el ambiente académico. La falta de indicadores de violencia contra la mujer, como página en blanco, son más que la ausencia de información en un documento; anticipa procesos ocultos y de incomprensión asociado a las experiencias que enfrentan las mujeres en el ambiente académico.

DTPB as a Better Voluntary Tax Compliance Predictor - A Comparison Study
Authors: Soon Ang Leng , Derashid Chek , Bidin Zainol
Published: May 2021

Tax administrators have been trying to maximise its voluntary tax compliance rate where e-filing system has been the preferable compliance tool by taxpayers in submitting their income tax return forms. Despite the effort to provide better services to taxpayers, the heterogeneous taxpayers in Malaysia face difficulties in extracting information and tax knowledge that would require assistance or advice from other sources, like their peers and mass media, while some may have financial difficulties. This comparative study proposes to utilise the multidimensional model of Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour (DTPB) that incorporates general tax knowledge, mass media referent, and ability to pay as addition to the original DTPB model. The findings showed that general tax filing knowledge, mass media referent, and ability to pay have significant influence on intention to comply with tax laws. However, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, compatibility, and self-efficacy were found to be not significant when the DTPB model was adopted. Nevertheless, it is advantageous to use the DTPB model that provides predictiveness and explanation toward understanding voluntary tax compliance behaviour. This model is useful as a guide for improving voluntary tax compliance rates while promoting the advantages of using e-filing system as the preferable tool for compliance.

Authors: Hùng Lê Văn
Published: May 2021

3D hand pose estimation from egocentric vision is an important study in the construction of assistance systems and modeling of robot hand in robotics. In this paper, we propose a complete method for estimating 3D hand posefrom the complex scene data obtained from the egocentric sensor. In which we propose a simple yet highly efficient pre-processing step for hand segmentation. In the estimation process, we used the Hand PointNet (HPN), V2V-PoseNet(V2V), Point-to-Point Regression PointNet (PtoP) for finetuning to estimate the 3D hand pose from the collected data obtained from the egocentric sensor, such as CVRA, FPHA (First-Person Hand Action) datasets. HPN, V2V, PtoP are thedeep networks/Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for estimating 3D hand pose that uses the point cloud data of the hand. We evaluate the estimation results using the preprocessing step and do not use the pre-processing step to see the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that 3D distance error is increased many times compared to estimates on the hand datasets are not obstructed (the hand data obtained from surveillance cameras, are viewed from top view, front view, sides view) such as MSRA, NYU, ICVL datasets. The results are quantified, analyzed, shown on the point cloud data of CVAR dataset and projected on the color image of FPHA dataset.

Heavy metal tolerance of filamentous fungi from the sediments of Visayas State University wastewater pond
Authors: Eliseo Richie Mar , Bitacura Jayzon
Published: May 2021

The ability to tolerate high concentrations of heavy metals is one important characteristic of organisms that can be used for bioremediation. In this study, the heavy metal tolerance of filamentous fungi isolated from the VSU wastewater settlement pond was investigated. Specifically, the research was done to determine the Cd, Cu, Fe and Zn in the sediments of the pond, isolate and identify filamentous fungi from these sediments, identify the most tolerant isolate, and determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of heavy metals to the identified isolate. Isolation of filamentous fungi from a composite of eight sediment samples was done through serial dilution and plating using Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). Isolates were then purified using Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA). Colony and microscopic characteristics of the isolates were used to identify the isolates to genus level only. The tolerance of the isolates to Cd, Cu, Fe, and Zn were then compared through analysis of their tolerance index based on the colony extension radius. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) of these heavy metals were obtained for the isolate with the highest tolerance index. The Cd, Cu, Fe, and Zn contents of the composite sediment sample were <0.0002mg kg-1, 0.0203mg kg-1, 7.419mg kg-1, and 0.106mg kg-1, respectively. Three filamentous fungi were successfully isolated from the sediments and were identified as Rhizopus sp., Mucor sp. and Trichoderma sp. Among these isolates, Rhizopus sp. was the most tolerant to all the heavy metals tested. Average range of MIC values of Cd, Cu, Fe and Zn to Rhizopus sp. were determined at 5mM<MIC≤6.5mM, 10mM<MIC≤15mM, 30mM≤MIC≤35mM, and 25mM<MIC≤30mM, respectively. These results showed that the Rhizopus sp. isolated is the most potential candidate in bioremediating heavy metal contaminated areas.

Published: May 2021

Abstract

This work represents the potential impact of geological deposition conditions on the durability of glass used for radioactive waste disposal. The durability of highly radioactive glass could be influenced by iron mineral compositions or other near field parameters inside the final disposal repository. In this paper, silicate sorption by natural ankerite is experimentally studied. Preliminary study using the graphite furnace atomic absorption method to measure the change in concentrations of silicon in standard solution in the presence of natural ankerite was performed. All standard solutions were diluted from a saturated silicate stock solution. Natural ankerite mineral samples which were collected from Rudabánya, Hungary, showed strong sorption of (H4SiO4) on their interface. Batch experiments containing specific masses of natural ankerite and silicate solution were carried out in order to illustrate a better understanding of silicate reduction in solution due to the sorption mechanism of ankerite, evidence that ankerite has the ability to uptake silicate was seen. The desorption of adsorbed silicate was tested and it was noticed that only very small amounts of silicate returned to the solution showed tiny reversed concentrations of silicate which may an indication of chemisorption.

In fact, the implementation of the teaching-learning process does not train and develop students' communication skills to cause interaction between students, such as working together, expressing ideas, asking questions, and responding to questions / opinions of other students. The teachers have applied the discussion learning model, but this is done with a direct learning model. During the discussion, the teacher only gives a number of assignments to students which contain almost all of the material without giving instructions, so that the students' thinking patterns do not develop and are not stimulated to think critically. This research was conducted at SD Negeri No.030277 Teladan Sidikalang, Sidikalang District, Dairi Regency. The population in this study was all fifth grade students of SD Negeri No.030277 Teladan Sidikalang which consisted of 3 classes totaling 91 students. Class VA as many as 31 students, class VB as many as 30 students, and class V-C as many as 30 students. There is a significant influence between learning (guided discovery learning and direct learning) on students' mathematical communication skills. The effect of the independent variable on changes in the dependent variable is 31.2%, while the remaining 68.8% is influenced by other variables. There is a significant influence between learning (guided discovery learning and direct learning) on students' self confidence. The effect of independent variables on variable changes is 9.6%, while the remaining 90.4% is influenced by other variables.

Published: May 2021

Bio-slurry is considered as a good quality organic fertilizer in Bangladesh agriculture. An experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to assess the effect of bulking materials over the composting of bio-slurry. The experiment was conducted with 4 treatments each of 3 replications. The treatments for compost preparation were, T0 (50% Bio-slurry + 50% manure), T1 (50% Bio-slurry + 50% manure and saw dust), T2 (50% Bio-slurry + 50% manure and rice straw), T3 (50% Bio-slurry + 50% manure and tree leaves). Compost moisture, pH, temperature and C: N ratio was assessed every week. Maximum temperature found in T1 (34.030C) and other treatments showed a slower rise in temperature.  Highest C:N ratio (19.30) was obtained in T3. The pH of the compost was significantly influenced by saw dust which ranged from 8.28 in T2 to 8.74 in T1. Moisture content of compost was significantly influenced by bulky materials and ranged from 56.34 to 68.83. At 42 day the highest crude fiber was obtained in T2 (25.16%). The results suggest that bulky materials treated bio-slurry can be good compost which will be very effective to soil and crops.

EAGBRP: A Gateway Based Routing Protocol for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Hoque M. M. , Rashed M. G. , Kabir M. H. , Abadin A. F. M. Z. , Pramanik M. I.
Published: May 2021

In most of the cluster-based routing protocols for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), cluster heads (CHs) are selected from the normal sensors which may expire rapidly due to fast energy diminution for such an additional workload. As a consequence, the network lifetime of such cluster-based routing protocol reduces drastically. To resolve these constraints, in this study, we proposed a gateway-based routing protocol-namely Energy-Aware Gateway Based Routing Protocol (EAGBRP) for WSNs. In our proposed protocol, the deployed sensor nodes of a WSN were divided into five logical regions based on their location in the sensing field. The base station (BS) was installed out of the sensing area, and two gateway nodes were inaugurated at two predefined regions of the sensing area. The CH in each region is independent of the other regions and selected based on a weighted election probability. We implemented our proposed routing protocol through simulations. To evaluate the performance of our EAGBRP, we simulated SEP, M-GEAR, and MGBEHA (4GW) protocols. The network lifetime, throughput, and residual energy parameters are utilized for performance analysis. It is revealed from the performance analysis results that WSNs with EAGBRP achieve maximum network lifetime and throughput over other considered protocols with minimum energy consumption.

The % of glucose absorption observed for up to 30 min. The % of glucose absorption for Aloe Vera and Lady’s Finger during the 30 min was 52.98±5.67 and 57.74±4.81, respectively, compared to control 67.74±8.62. The p-value (0.061) for Aloe Vera was quite closer to the level of significance. On the other hand, Lady’s Finger had a non-significant effect on glucose absorption (p=0.145) in Type-2 diabetic model rats' gut. The results suggested the therapeutic potential of the SDF of Aloe Vera and Lady’s finger, which suppressed postprandial hyperglycemia after glucose ingestion.
Thermo-Diffusive Flow of Chemically Reacting Fluid in a Saturated Porous Medium for Radiative Heat Flux
Authors: Hazarika N. J. , Ahmed S.
Published: May 2021

A theoretical investigation has been made for a radiating and chemically reacting viscous-fluid of a conducting gas over a vertical porous surface immerse in a saturated porous medium for the impact of magnetic drag-force, buoyancy forces and thermal-diffusion (Soret) order under oscillatory suction and heat absorption. The analytical solutions have been derived for the physical variables related to the governing equations under the appropriate boundary conditions. It is found that the velocity profiles increase with the increasing values of Soret number (S0) and higher Soret number (S0 = 5) shows the large temperature difference. It is noticed that increasing radiation parameter (R) elevated the velocity profiles near the plate. In the effects of Soret number (S0) the velocity profiles are an increasing function for both the cases of  M = 0 and M = 10. The validity and accuracy of the flow model is presented and found suitable to proceed the work. In this study, the findings would be useful in many practical areas such as diffusion operations, which involved molecular diffusion of species with molar concentration.

Published: May 2021

A compreensão sobre a fotossíntese pode facilitar discussões em sala de aula de temas diversos e atuais, como poluição e escassez de alimentos. No entanto, percebe-se que muitos professores têm dificuldades de ensinar esse e demais conteúdos relacionados à botânica. Esses conteúdos são abordados no Ensino Médio nas aulas de Biologia e os paradidáticos, com foco nos professores, podem funcionar para a solução dessas questões, complementando de modo dinâmico as aulas. Assim, este trabalho visou relatar a produção de um material didático complementar abordando temas botânicos, especialmente a fotossíntese. Foram destacados conteúdos de anatomia, morfologia e fisiologia vegetal para a compreensão dos processos de fotossíntese. Além disso, foram propostas atividades com a flora local para possível emprego em sala. Espera-se que o paradidático sirva como uma possibilidade distinta daquela encontrada nos livros didáticos, podendo ser utilizado como fonte de consulta para aprimorar a construção de conhecimentos.
Why do patients not follow therapeutic recommendations?

Published: May 2021

Objectives. Adherence to medical prescriptions is a basic determinant of treatment success. Failure to comply with this rule is a serious problem that affects not only the patient but also the health care system. Non-adherence to medical treatment changes the course of the disease, can lead to deterioration of health or even death; also, it contributes to the increase in healthcare costs.
Literature review. Compliance with medical recommendations is influenced by many factors, which can be divided into factors dependent on the patient, healthcare provider and healthcare system, socioeconomic situation, and certain interactions between them.
Conclusions. In order to improve the compliance with medical recommendations, it is important to identify specific barriers for each patient and to adopt appropriate techniques to overcome them. Compliance with medical recommendations is improved with good cooperation between the doctor and the patient.
Influence of selected drugs used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases on depressive disorders in elderly patients

Published: May 2021

Objectives. In geriatric patients, cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes are considered the most common chronic health problems. Moreover, increasing the pre­valence of depression, which significantly reduces the quality of life and increases disability in this group, has also been observed. This paper aims to review the literature on the relationship between drugs from selected pharmacological groups used in the treatment of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases and depression, both with respect to their depressive and antidepressant effects.
Literature review. The increased risk of the prevalence and the severity of depression is associated with strongly lipophilic beta-blockers and insulin therapy. In contrast, drugs that block the RAA system reduce the risk of developing and worsening symptoms of depression and improve cognitive function in elderly patients. Literature reports indicate the antidepressant effect of commonly used antidiabetic drugs such as metformin and incretin drugs (GLP-1 analogues and DPP-4 inhibitors). The potential anti-depressive effect of intranasal insulin administration requires further research.
Conclusions. Based on the review, it should be stated that due to the frequent occurrence of mood disorders in elderly patients, the selection of drugs used in the therapy of somatic diseases should allow for the risk of causing or worsening symptoms of depression. However, the possibility of their beneficial effect on mood disorders should also be considered.

Objectives. Second generation antidepressants belong to the most commonly prescribed medications; they are used in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorder, and pain. The aim of the study is to evaluate their risk of QT prolongation, which can lead to potentially life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
Literature review. Based on the Summary of Product Characteristics and CredibleMeds database, we present current knowledge about the risk of QT prolongation caused by second generation antidepressants. Recommendations concerning planning and conducting treatment using second generation antidepressants are discussed.
Conclusions. As scientific research shows, newer antidepressants cause fewer side effects than tricyclic antidepressants, but they are not devoid of them. For some of them, there is a proven risk of QT prolongation and torsade de pointes, which can, very rarely, lead to patient’s death. Before prescribing new antidepressants, clinicians should evaluate the patient’s risk of QT prolongation and, in case of high risk, they should apply the lowest effective dose, regularly monitor the patient’s condition, and inform the patient to consult a cardiologist if any alarming symptoms, such as syncope or palpitations, occur.
