A Survey of Pediatric Ophthalmologists to Assess Practice Patterns for Primary Surgical Management of Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction
Authors: Pogrebniak Elizabeth , Crouch Eric
Published: August 2021

Purpose:

To survey current practice patterns of pediatric ophthalmologists regarding primary surgical management of infantile dacryostenosis.

Methods:

Responses to a five-question survey were cross-tabulated to compare surgery preferences across patient age ranges and intubation method. Surveys were submitted to members of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus following institutional review board approval.

Results:

Results from 142 completed surveys were analyzed. A bimodal distribution of reported propensity to intubate the nasolacrimal duct during primary surgery for dacryostenosis was observed, with one group of ophthalmologists intubating frequently and a second group intubating rarely. For patients younger than 24 months, 33 of 142 surgeons (23%) preferred to intubate 91% or more of the time and 76 of 142 (54%) preferred to intubate 10% or less of the time. For patients older than 24 months, the overall preference for intubation increased compared to the younger patient age group (
P
< .0007). In older patients, 52 of 142 surgeons (37%) preferred to intubate 91% or more of the time and 45 of 142 surgeons (32%) preferred to intubate 10% or less of the time. The most common preferred intubation methods were self-threading monocanalicular stent (42%) and metal-swaged bicanalicular stent (21%). Surgeons who preferred self-threading monocanalicular stents more often also preferred intubation procedures.

Conclusions:

Best practice for infantile dacryostenosis remains a surgeon preference, with some surgeons performing intubation frequently and others performing it rarely. Overall estimated intubation rates for primary surgery increased from 36% in children younger than 24 months to 50% at age 24 months or older.

STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS MARRIAGE, COHABITATION AND TRANSITION TO MARRIAGE The paper discusses the understanding of marriage and forms of partnerships in the late modern society, based on data from a survey of students’ attitudes at the University of Rijeka (N = 635). The results reveal ambivalent attitudes about traditional marriage among respondents. Although students reject the idea that every marriage, even a bad one, is superior to other forms of partnerships, the vast majority of them plan to get married in the future. Cohabitation is acceptable to most students and they intend to practise it, but only as a temporary stage before marriage. Attitudes toward traditional marriage and the acceptability of cohabitation were found to be more strongly correlated with the respondents’ overall assessment of how important is it for them to marry than with the assessment of their own future behavior in transition to marriage and parenthood. Religious self-identification is a variable that influences both respondents’ attitudes about traditional marriage and cohabitation and their perception of their own transition to marriage more strongly than other sociodemographic variables. Nevertheless, it has been shown that its effect is greater on the aforementioned attitudes of students than on their perception of their own transition to marriage in the future. Key words: attitudes, traditional marriage, cohabitation, transition to marriage

Basic Study on Scale-Free Networks and Targeted Antivirus Prophylaxis Supported by Information Communication Tools
Authors: Nakajima Isao , Kurokawa Kiyoshi , Morita Seiji , Nakagawa Yoshihide
Published: August 2021

With the aim of slowing the spread of infectious disease in the earliest phase of an outbreak, we performed visual simulations using scale-free networks focused on circumstances such as “normal” daily life, pandemic outbreaks, and the Fukushima nuclear accident following the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. Due to limitations associated with face-to-face contacts and delays in the timing of intake of iodine tablets, iodine preparations for protecting the thyroid gland could be taken effectively by only 5% of the population in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear accident. For targeted antivirus prophylaxis (TAP) to be more effective, timing of the distribution of anti-viral medication needs to be planned well in advance and instructions to “take it now!” must be communicated effectively in a timely manner. The results of this study suggest that information communication technology (e.g., pulse oximeters, mobile phones) can play an important role in managing TAP policies.

An early grade science, technology, engineering and mathematics dialogue reading programme: The development of a conceptual framework
Authors: Bezuidenhout Hanrie S.
Published: August 2021

Background: The South African Department of Basic Education (DBE) aims to expand science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning in the national curriculum through a Digital Skills for All Curriculum (DSfAC) for Grade R – 9. The DSfAC intends to educate a STEM-literate future citizenry with refined computational thinking (CT), and coding and robotics skills. As with all learning, foundations are ideally laid when children are young and when they form habits of thinking that can ultimately serve as their first building blocks for successful learning. Current theoretical frameworks describe how teachers can include CT, coding and other STEM related constructs in their teaching. In the curriculum plan, a conceptual framework that underpins the design of teaching materials to support STEM literacy teaching, has, however, not yet been forwarded.Aim: Presenting a conceptual framework that has served as the design heuristic for a dialogue reading programme (DRP) for young children. The programme consists of three picture books, created to develop young children’s digital skills and related vocabulary as outlined in the DSfAC through story texts and pictures.Method: I implemented an iterative participatory approach to develop the conceptual framework.Conclusion: The development of teaching materials, like a DRP, should have its genesis in a confluence of three interdisciplinary components to develop a conceptual framework: (1) scientific research and theories; (2) an iterative participatory approach which involves teachers, parents, children, and other role players in the development process; and (3) systematic utilisation of existing examples of relevant teaching materials.
Nigerian women artists’ visibility in twenty-first century contemporary art practices: A triumph against exclusions from art groups and collectives in Nigeria
Authors: Nwafor Nkiruka Jane
Published: August 2021

Nigerian artists began forming art groups and schools from the 1950s and 1960s. These art groups advanced the reclaiming of Nigeria‟s artistic cultural heritages. However, even in the post-colonial and post-Civil War 1970s and 1980s many art groups and art institutions had few or no female members that participated in their activities. This essay reviews notable art groups in Nigeria from the earliest to the more recent. It also identifies the prominent women artists that had contributed to modern Nigerian art history. The essay also looks at the changes in the 1990s‟ and identifies contemporary art and its liberal and individualistic approaches as what caused decline in art groups in the twenty-first century. It will identify the women making impact in Nigeria‟s art scenario in the twenty-first century. The essay argues therefore that the liberalizing nature of twenty-first century contemporary art practices in Nigeria may have endeared more visibility to Nigerian women artists.

Published: August 2021

Background: Understanding how drinking water is managed in rural households that lack access to improved water sources is necessary for designing effective strategies that can meet their drinking water requirements. This study aimed to assess the drinking water management practices of rural households in two selected communities of Plateau State.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in Plateau State among 202 female caregivers of under-five children residing in households of two rural communities who were selected using a multistage sampling technique. An interviewer-administered  questionnaire and an observational checklist were used to obtain information on water sources, collection, storage and treatment  practices. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0. Bivariate analysis was done to identify factors associated with household water treatment practice followed by logistic regression to determine predictors. Level of significance was set at p<0.05.Results: Mean age of respondents was 32.5±12.3 years. Nearly half (48%) of the households obtained drinking water from unimproved sources and 18.3% treated water at home which were mainly inappropriate methods. About 75% always stored drinking water separately from other uses while 64% stored water for over 3days. Only 51% were observed to store water in clean containers. Independent  predictors of household water treatment were perception of drinking water safety (AOR=4.6; 95%CI: 2.1–10.3) and encouragement to treat water within the community (AOR=16.7; 95%CI: 2.1 – 28.5).Conclusion: There is a need to educate and encourage the rural populace on appropriate water management methods while efforts are being made to increase access to improved sources.
Effects of stocking density on growth and skin quality of grower Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus)
Authors: Webb E.C. , Veldsman D.M. , Myburgh J.G. , Swan G.E.
Published: August 2021

Intensive Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) farming operates with considerable variation in housing and stocking density. In this study, current commercial stocking densities for crocodilians were investigated using 261 grower-phase crocodiles (15 months old, average total body length 94.5 cm, and average weight 2.7 kg). Low (2.60 m2 per crocodile), medium (1.24 m2 per crocodile), and high (0.41 m2 per crocodile) stocking densities were tested. Growth, morphometric measures, Fulton’s condition scores and skin qualities were assessed over a six-month (May - November 2017) period. High stocking density had no adverse effects on the growth of grower Nile crocodiles. Crocodiles stocked at medium and high densities outperformed those that were stocked at low density in Fulton’s body condition scores, change in body condition from the start to the end of the trial, and feed conversion efficiencies. However, the high and, to a lesser extent, the medium stocking densities resulted in lower skin quality scores compared with those in the low-density treatment because of teeth marks from more aggressive behaviour. The results indicated that the medium pen density treatment is closer to the ideal than either the high or low stocking density groups. Stocking densities that provide 0.41 m2 per crocodile or less should be avoided because of lower skin quality scores, which weigh more heavily than growth and feed efficiency responses in the financial viability of commercial crocodile farming in typical South African production systems.
Effects of garlic supplementation on in vitro nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation, and gas production
Authors: Kekana M.R. , Luseba D. , Muyu M.C.
Published: August 2021

Garlic contains secondary metabolites with antimicrobial properties that can alter nutrient digestibility and rumen fermentation, similar to other antimicrobial products. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the effects of garlic powder and garlic juice on in vitro nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation, and gas production. The treatments consisted of control with no additives, garlic powder, and garlic juice at 0.5 ml and 1 ml. The digestibility of dry matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fibre were determined after 48 hours incubation. Rumen ammonia nitrogen and volatile fatty acids were determined at 12 hours and 24 hours incubation. The cumulative gas production was recorded periodically over 48 hours. The in vitro dry matter disappearance decreased with 1 ml of garlic juice compared with control. The crude protein degradability in garlic powder and garlic juice was lower than in control. Volatile fatty acids increased in all treatments. Individual volatile fatty acids were significantly different, especially propionate, whereas the acetate to propionate ratio was reduced by garlic juice, and ammonia nitrogen was reduced by garlic powder and 0.5 ml of garlic juice. The cumulative gas production increased significantly with both levels of garlic juice. The addition of garlic juice at 0.5 mL/100 ml could enhance the production of propionate, and reduce the acetate to propionate ratio, implying that the supply of hydrogen for methanogens was limited.

The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between live weight and body measurements in Zağar, Zerdava, and Çatalburun dogs. Animal materials were obtained from various regions of Turkey. A total of 304 dogs from three breeds were used: Zağar (45 females, 59 males), Zerdava (50 females, 50 males), and Çatalburun (62 females, 38 males). Live weights and certain body measurements were determined. A linear regression model was created using the parameters obtained in this study. The bodyweights calculated with the body measurements were found to be at a high or acceptable level in the Zağar, Zerdava, and Çatalburun genotypes (R2 = 0.902, 0.467, and 0.697, respectively).

Published: August 2021

The objective was to investigate the effect of replacing maize silage (MS) with canola silage (CS) on the chemical composition and fatty acid (FA) profile of total mixed rations (TMR) containing these silages, and on in vitro rumen fermentation and methane production from them. The canola (Brassica napus var. Monty) was cultivated on a small-scale agricultural farm and harvested at 148 days after sowing. Maize silage in a TMR was replaced with 0%, 15%, 25%, and 35% CS to make the rations CS0, CS15, CS25, and CS35, respectively. Proximate analyses of the rations were evaluated in a completely randomized design. The results showed that linolenic acid increased linearly with the level of CS, primarily at the expense of linoleic acid. In vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) was similar among treatments. However, in vitro neutral detergent fibre digestibility (IVNDF) decreased linearly (P <0.05) when the CS proportion increased in the TMR. The lowest ammonia nitrogen content (P <0.05) was observed in CS35. The soluble fraction (A) increased (P <0.05) when the CS increased in the TMR from 0% to 35%. In vitro methane (CH4) production was lowest with CS25 and CS35, decreasing 34% and 23.9%, respectively, compared with CS0. Linolenic acid had a negative correlation with IVNDF (r = -0.94; P <0.05). The IVDMD and methane production were positively correlated (r = 0.60) (P <0.05). In conclusion, 25% and 35% augmentation of MS with CS in a TMR was an important source of linolenic acid (C18:3) and decreased in vitro methane production.
Genetic effects on growth and egg production traits in two-way crosses of Egyptian and commercial layer chickens
Authors: El-Tahawy W.S. , Habashy W.S.
Published: August 2021

A crossbreeding experiment was conducted between the Sinai (SI), an indigenous Egyptian strain, and the exotic Lohmann Brown (LB) breeds of chickens. A total of 790 chicks were produced in four genetic groups, namely SI x SI, LB x LB, SI x LB, and LB x SI. The objective was to estimate the direct additive effect (gi), individual heterosis (hi), and maternal additive effect (gm) for growth and reproduction traits. Direct additive effects were positive (P ≤0.01) for bodyweight (BW) at 4, 8, and 12 weeks old in favour of SI. For egg production traits, gi was positive for age at sexual maturity (ASM) and age at which the first 10 eggs were produced (P10), but negative for mean 10 egg production (MP10), egg number at 90 days (EN90),mean egg number at 90 days (MEN90), and egg mass (EM). The estimates of heterosis (%) were high for BW and daily gain except for BW0. Maternal effect estimates of BW and daily weight gain were significant (P <0.05) only for bodyweight at hatching (BW0), bodyweight at 4 weeks old (BW4) and daily weight gain from four to eight weeks old (DWG4-8). Thus, the Sinai and Lohmann Brown crossbreed produced favourable heterosis on the growth of the chicks. As an adapted indigenous strain, SI should be regarded as a dam line in crossing with LB, which has greater genetic potential for growth. Use of LB as a sire strain in conjunction with Sinai would increase egg production from the resulting hybrid chickens.

Authors: Gang Jok Thikuiy , Kea Sisay Kirba , Gebremedhin Samson
Published: August 2021

Background: Ectopic pregnancy, a pregnancy in which the embryo implants outside the endometrial cavity, is an important cause of maternal mortality, especially in developing countries. It can be managed medically using methotrexate. In Ethiopia, limited evidence exists regarding the treatment outcome of this approach.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted based on medical records of ectopic pregnancies managed medically using methotrexate. The data of women who had unruptured ectopic pregnancy and who were managed medically in the study period at St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College were included. Data were extracted from patients’ medical records and analysed using SPSS software.Results: During the 5-year period 2015 to 2019, 81 women with unruptured ectopic pregnancy were managed medically using methotrexate with 93.8% (n=76) success. Methotrexate was administered intramuscularly to all patients in either single dose or multiple doses. Five out of the 81 patients underwent surgical intervention for either ectopic rupture or persistent ectopic mass. There were no fatal complications.Conclusion: Methotrexate is a successful and safe alternative to surgical management of unruptured ectopic pregnancy in our settings. It should be given a trial in patients who meet the selection criteria in a setting ready for emergency surgical intervention and blood transfusions.
Population characteristics and exploitation of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares Bonnaterre, 1788) in the coastal waters of Kenya

Published: August 2021

Yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares (Bonnaterre, 1788) is a highly migratory and important commercial fishery species. Data on length-frequency, growth parameters and mortality rates of yellowfin tuna in the coastal waters of Kenya is limited. We assessed Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE), size distribution, growth parameters and mortality rates based on length-frequency and catch data collected from August 2015 to December 2016 at five fish landing sites along the Kenyan coast. The sample comprised of 1281 individuals of yellowfin tuna weighing 12,671 kg. Highest CPUE was recorded in October 2015 (10.8 kg·Fisher-1Trip-1) and lowest CPUE, 2.6 kg·Fisher-1Trip-1 in December 2016. Yellowfin tuna was more abundant in the South-East Monsoon (SEM), from May to October, with an average CPUE of 7.3 kg Fisher-1Trip-1 compared to North East Monsoon (NEM), from November to April, with a CPUE of 7.0 kg Fisher-1Trip-1. Spatial variation of CPUE was evident. Old Town recorded the highest CPUE of 54.2 kgTrip-1, while Mnarani the lowest of 19.4 kgTrip-1. At least 91 % of the fish sampled were < 100 cm FL and hence not yet mature. The asymptotic Length (L∞) was found to be 195 cm FL, the Von Bertalanffy growth constant (K) 0.43 year-1, t0 - 0.82 and the Growth Performance Index (f) 4.21. The total mortality coefficient (Z) was 2.59 year-1 , Natural Mortality (M) 0.59 year-1, Fishing Mortality (F) 2.00 year-1 and Exploitation Rate (E) 0.77 year-1. Results show that mortality and exploitation rates were above the optimal, indicating high fishing pressure on coastal yellowfin tuna. The information generated by this study provides some further insights on the scientific knowledge of the coastal yellowfin tuna to inform policy for sustainable management and development of this fishery in Kenya and the entire South West Indian Ocean (SWIO) region.

Published: August 2021

Rapid and noninvasive detection methods of seed vigor, an important index to evaluate seed quality, have been the research focus in recent years. In this paper, the detection method of pea seed vigor based on hyperspectral imaging technology was researched. First, the spectral images of different vigor grade samples with artificial aging were captured, and the original spectrum was pretreated with multiple scattering correction. Secondly, SPA and PCA were used to select respective bands. Finally, PLS-DA and LS-SVM model were established to identify the seed vigor of the pea seed, based on the whole band spectrum, the characteristic bands extracted by SPA and PCA respectively. The results showed that PLS-DA and LS-SVM models are effective, but LS-SVM had better performance. Through comparison, the method using full band spectrum was more accurate, the efficiency of method using 5 characteristic bands extracted by PCA was the highest while the way of extracting the representative band by SPA was the most meaningful to this study which achieved similar accuracy to the full band with only 20 bands. The SPA-LS-SVM method afforded the recognition accuracy (100%) for modeling set and validation set used to determine the vigor of pea seeds. The overall results suggest that hyperspectral imaging technology is useful for classification of different vitality pea seeds with non-destructive manner, which can provide a basis for further development of online scoring devices
A Novel Filtering Recommendation Algorithm for User Emergency Information Adoption
Authors: Yao Xiaoying , Liu Chunnian , Zhu Yingfei
Published: August 2021

Emergency case data resources are widely distributed and heterogeneous. At the same time, the command of emergency field needs the cooperation of multiple departments. Therefore, it is urgent to establish an emergency analysis and mining platform, realize the sharing and collaboration of emergency data resources among multiple departments, and assist emergency command and scheduling. According to the actual situation of the current emergency, a similarity measure method (TCRD) is proposed to solve this problem by adding temporal information to reflect information adoption, which integrates user context information and temporal information. Firstly, the temporal information of historical adoption behavior is expressed as a binary coded characteristic matrix, and then the characteristic matrix is mapped into a feature vector by using restricted Boltzmann machine, and finally added to the similarity measurement formula. The improved TCRD method can measure the similarity more accurately, and further improve the quality of emergency information adoption recommendation results.

Published: August 2021

There is a growing number of research units and alliances whose purpose is to link researchers and community partner groups. Little has been published about the benefits of these research organizations, the characteristics that assist them to function, and how they evolve over time. This article describes the findings of a survey of 13 investigators and research coordinators from CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research, a multidisciplinary research unit founded in 1989. The article describes this group’s perceptions of CanChild as an organization, including major helpful factors, lessons learned, and changes over time to the Centre’s approach to research. The purpose of this paper is to provide information to researchers, managers, and funders about the benefits of community-linked research units. The study themes, revealed through qualitative methods, indicate the importance of three overarching aspects that summarize helpful organizational factors of a community-linked research unit: awareness of environmental context, strong commitment of team members, and an emphasis on internal and external communication activities. The findings demonstrate the collaborative advantages of community-linked research partnerships with respect to the cross-pollination of ideas and approaches, sophistication in conceptualization of research studies, smoother coordination of activities, and the development of innovative concepts and products

The method used is a qualitative method with data collection through observation, interview and documentation techniques. The analysis used is to use triangulation with data reduction techniques, data display and data fermentation. The results obtained in this study are that the teacher has made an effort to apply disciplinary attitudes quite well by providing a positive attitude to students, applying appropriate rules and sanctions for students, implementing interesting and fun learning for students. While the factors that affect the inhibition of the teacher's efforts in implementing disciplinary attitudes to improve student learning achievement are mainly influenced by two factors, namely internal and external, where internal originates from within the student itself, such as will, habits, physical and psychological factors. Meanwhile, external factors come from the learning environment and social environment.
Economia e energia no Brasil
Authors: Colomer Marcelo
Published: August 2021

A energia, assim como o capital e o trabalho, deveria configurar entre os principais fatores de produção nos modelos de crescimento econômico. Subestimar a importância dos recursos energéticos como fonte de aumento da produtividade é ignorar o efeito que os setores de energia têm sobre diversas variáveis socioeconômicas. No Brasil, as últimas décadas presenciaram importantes mudanças nas indústrias de eletricidade, petróleo, gás natural e de energias renováveis. Tais mudanças, tiveram impactos não somente na oferta e demanda de energia como também influenciaram outras variáveis econômicas como a formação bruta de capital, o saldo da balança comercial e a arrecadação fiscal do Estado. Nesse contexto, esse artigo se propõe a analisar a correlação existente entre as indústrias de energia e a economia.

Universalização do acesso ao serviço público de energia elétrica no Brasil: evolução recente e desafios para a Amazônia Legal
Authors: Ferreira André Luís , Silva Felipe Barcellos e
Published: August 2021

O Censo 2000 do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) identificou a existência, na época, de 2,5 milhões de domicílios sem acesso à energia elétrica. Desses, 80% estavam localizados no meio rural, totalizando 10 milhões de pessoas. Alicerçado nessa motivação, o Governo Federal institui em 2003 o Programa Nacional de Universalização do Acesso e Uso da Energia Elétrica – Programa Luz para Todos (LPT). Desde 2004, foram realizadas mais de 3,5 milhõesde ligações, beneficiando 16,8 milhões de pessoas, evidenciando o inegável avanço proporcionado pelo LPT. No entanto, existem comunidades, localizadas principalmente em áreas mais distantes das redes de distribuição, que ainda não têm acesso ao serviço público de energia elétrica. Estudo elaborado pelo Instituto de Energia e Meio Ambiente (IEMA) estimou em 990 mil o número de pessoas nessa condição na Amazônia Legal; pouco mais de 32% delas residindoem terras indígenas, territórios quilombolas homologados, unidades de conservação ou assentamentos rurais. Parcela importante dessa população localiza-se em áreas onde a baixa densidade populacional e as restrições geográficas e ambientais impedem a extensão das redes de distribuição. Assim a oferta de serviços públicos de energia elétrica deverá ser viabilizada por meio de geração descentralizada de pequeno porte. Com o objetivo de levar energia elétrica às regiões remotas da Amazônia Legal, o Governo Federal lançou em 2020 o “Programa Nacional de Universalização do Acesso e Uso da Energia Elétrica na Amazônia Legal – Mais Luz para a Amazônia (MLA)”. O presente artigo identifica algumas lacunas no desenho e implementação do Programa e recomenda o aperfeiçoamento de algumas questões: (i) dimensionamento dos sistemas de geração de modo que atendam as demandas produtivas locais; (ii) articulação do MLA com outras políticas setoriais; (iii) planejamento da logística de instalação e de descomissionamento dos sistemas de geração; (iv) envolvimento das comunidades na concepção, operação e manutenção dos sistemas, e (v) garantias de financiamento da universalização do acesso à energia elétrica.
Emissões de gases de efeito estuda no setor de energia, no Brasil
Authors: Walter Arnaldo
Published: August 2021

O Brasil é um dos maiores emissores globais de gases de efeito estufa (GEE), embora sua parcela seja relativamente pequena se comparada aos dois maiores emissores (China e EUA). Ao contrário de muitos países, o perfil de emissões no Brasil também é distinto, com participação relativamente pequena do setor de energia. Neste artigo, é analisado o perfil das emissões em energia, sua evolução na última década e as perspectivas até 2030. Desde 2014, as emissões de GEE associadas às cadeias energéticas caíram, mas isso se deve à longa crise, e a perspectiva é de que voltem a crescer com a retomada da atividade econômica. É positivo que a matriz energética nacional possua uma grande parcela de fontes renováveis e que haja potencial de crescimento da bioenergia, energia eólica e solar. No entanto, as oportunidades de mitigação de baixo custo em energia também devem se tornar mais limitadas em um período de 10 a 20 anos, além de que o sistema também é vulnerável às mudanças climáticas. Nesse sentido, partindo do pressuposto de que o país terá que continuar reduzindo suas emissões, visando chegar ao zero líquido em meados deste século, ou mesmo um pouco mais tarde, surgem grandes desafios. E isso também porque é provável que as emissões ainda não controladas devido ao desmatamento tenham que ser parcialmente compensadas no setor de energia.

Coğrafi olarak beş kıta üzerinde yer alan ve tarihte ön plana çıkan kırk kent kitabın konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Bu kitap insanların ilk ne zaman birlikte yaşamak için bir araya gelerek kent yaşamını oluşturdukları, bu ilk kentlerde yaşamın nasıl olduğu gibi sorulara cevap vermeye çalışmaktadır. Yazarlar bir kentin klasik bir şekilde tarihçesinden bahsetmek yerine bir yandan kentlerde yaratılmış olan mimariyi ve sanatı anlatmaya çalışırken, diğer yandan kent, siyaset, kültür ve insan yaşamına dair bilgileri de okurlara sunmaktadır.
Asymmetric effects of exchange rate on inflation in Turkey: What aggregated and disaggregated data reveal
Authors: Tuğral Anıl , Bari Bilgin
Published: August 2021

The relationship between inflation and exchange rate in the Turkish economy is remarkable. While indirect effects of exchange rate on inflation occur through the cost channel, direct effects emerge through the consumption channel. In addition, changes in the exchange rate affect pricing decisions through the indexing channel. This study examines the effects of the exchange rate on general inflation and certain subcomponents for 2003Q1-2020Q1. For this purpose, it uses linear and nonlinear ARDL models. In the linear model results, while the short-term effects of the exchange rate occur at different rates, the long-term effects are more robust. According to the estimation results of the nonlinear model, exchange rate movements (increase-decrease) in the short run cause changes at similar rates in general prices. The findings indicate that the exchange rate is the primary determinant of inflation. In the long run, this effect is more substantial. Moreover, the asymmetries in the subcomponents are striking. While the exchange rate increases are reflected in the prices, the effect of the exchange rate decreases is insignificant. The fact that similar effects are observed in the long term can be explained by the upward trend in the exchange rate. The strong relationship between exchange rate and inflation also weakens the effectiveness of the monetary policy. In order to conduct an effective monetary policy, it is necessary to solve the structural problems of the economy and improve the production structure. In addition, economic policy should consider the stability of the exchange rate.
