Published: February 2022

Background: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection is associated with the depletion of T cells, resulting in weak or absent virus specific T cells reactivity, which is described as ‘exhaustion’. This exhaustion is characterized by impaired cytokine production and sustained expression of multiple coinhibitory molecules. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is one of many coinhibitory molecules that can attenuate T cell activation by inhibiting stimulation and transmitting inhibitory signals to T cells. Objective: To explore the effect of CTLA-4+49A/G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on the progression CHB in Iraqi patients. Methods: Blood serum and genomic DNA was isolated from 90 patients with CHB. Tetra-Primer Amplification Refractory System-Polymerase Chain Reaction (ARMS-PCR) was used for amplification and genotyping of CTLA-4 gene using specific primers, and plasma hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load was investigated by real time PCR, in addition to estimate the hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and anti-HBe by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: AA genotype was more frequent among uncomplicated than complicated CHB (44.83% versus 28.12%) with a significant difference (OR= 0.315, 95%CI=1.0-0.99, p= 0.048). Conclusion: These data strongly suggested the persistence role of CTLA-4+49 polymorphism against HBV among Iraqi patients. Keywords: CTLA 4, SNP, ARMS-PCR Citation: Mahdi YS, Kadhim HS.

Why Do Large Positive Non-GAAP Earnings Adjustments Predict Abnormally High CEO Pay?
Authors: Guest Nicholas M. , Kothari S. P. , Pozen Robert C.
Published: February 2022

CEOs of S&P 500 firms that report high non-GAAP earnings relative to GAAP earnings receive substantial unexplained pay. Crucially, this result remains even after controlling for the level of non-GAAP and GAAP earnings. These firms are relatively poor performers (i.e., low GAAP earnings and stock returns) and have less powerful CEOs, consistent with non-GAAP earnings being used as justification when high executive pay is more likely to cause outrage. Additionally, despite the lower GAAP and return performance, these firms are more likely to beat the earnings targets specified in their compensation plans, which likely increases investors' perceptions of core operating earnings and reduces outrage. Indeed, these firms face less dissent from shareholders and proxy advisors, and no additional media scrutiny. Our evidence suggests that the fraction of CEO pay that seems attributable to opportunistic non-GAAP reporting, while limited, is economically meaningful.

Measuring the Information Content of Disclosures: The Role of Return Noise
Authors: Thomas Jacob K. , Zhang Frank , Zhu Wei
Published: February 2022

Disclosure is of fundamental interest to accounting research. When the sign/magnitude of disclosed news is unclear, the information in disclosure events is inferred using the ratio of return volatilities during event and non-event windows (Beaver 1968). We show that return noise due to microstructure frictions and mispricing affects this ratio, and that effect is comparable to or exceeds that of information content. We use the SEC's Tick Size Pilot program to confirm the causal effect of return noise on the ratio, and to evaluate alternative ways to control for it. The most promising approach is to use the difference between, rather than the ratio of, return volatilities during event and non-event windows. We illustrate its benefits by showing how it alters prior inferences regarding time-series and cross-sectional variation in information content as well as changes in the information content of earnings announcements around the 2004 amendments to Form 8-K filings.

Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE

We sought to evaluate costs associated with public health screening for presymptomatic type 1 diabetes in 90,632 children as part of the Fr1da study in Bavaria and in forecasts for standard care.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We report on resource use and direct costs for screening-related procedures in the Fr1da study coordination center and laboratory and in participating pediatric practices and local diabetes clinics. Data were obtained from Fr1da study documents, an online survey among pediatricians, and interviews and records of Fr1da staff members. Data were analyzed with tree models that mimic procedures during the screening process. Cost estimates are presented as they were observed in the Fr1da study and as they can be expected in standard care for various scenarios.

RESULTS

The costs per child screened in the Fr1da study were €28.17 (95% CI 19.96; 39.63) and the costs per child diagnosed with presymptomatic type 1 diabetes were €9,117 (6,460; 12,827). Assuming a prevalence of presymptomatic type 1 diabetes of 0.31%, as in the Fr1da study, the estimated costs in standard care in Germany would be €21.73 (16.76; 28.19) per screened child and €7,035 (5,426; 9,124) per diagnosed child. Of the projected screening costs, €12.25 would be the costs in the medical practice, €9.34 for coordination and laboratory, and €0.14 for local diabetes clinics.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides information for the planning and implementation of screening tests for presymptomatic type 1 diabetes in the general public and for the analysis of the cost-effectiveness of targeted prevention strategies.

The author believes that the absolutizaton of liberal democracy and human rights when they are not subject to critical analysis, as well as the start of transformation of the USA from republic to empire, and the democracy – to the manipulative power of the elite, which were perhaps inherent to the very nature of American models of republic and democracy, put forward the problem of the return of irrationalism into mass consciousness and politics. In the context of this problem the author analyzes Western political philosophy and theology for the last few years, paying special attention to theological grounds for the appearance of liberalism.
Conservatism and Intellectual Class Challenge
Authors: Remizov Michael V. , Mezhuev Boris V.
Published: February 2022

The authors of the article view the intellectual class as one of the key sources of social dynamics in the epoch of Modern. This class is the social medium of the aim at novelty and progress, the ability to “create future”, and at the same time of the maximalist and social intolerance tendency fraught with social revolutions. The authors tend to share the conservative understanding of revolution as the social development disruption, but at the same time consider the conservative ideological tradition to be not just antirevolutionary thinking, but also the experience of the revolution sublimation/overcoming. In particular, conservatism in the article is viewed as the formula of the intellectual class self-restraint and the platform for its compromise/symbiosis with military-aristocratic estate (which was relevant for early Modern epoch) and with the bureaucracy (in the period of the mature and late Modern). The authors consider British conservatism to be one of the most successful manifestations of such symbiosis, based on national loyalty and adapted aristocraticism (aristocratic personality type open for assimilation by the representatives of other social strata) and manifested in the political culture of the Victorian epoch. Those principles still remain relevant as the basis for the present-day type of conservative ideology. At the same time axiological agenda of conservatism alters depending on the actual configuration of historical challenges. According to the authors, the relevant conservative value model for modern Russia should be the combination of the sovereignty complex understanding, united society formation, conservative democracy model, principles of public spirit, political and intellectual freedom.

Judicial systems of various jurisdictions, faced with the problem of overloaded courts, including through disputes based on circumstances, the establishment of which or the search for a causal relationship between which requires the use of knowledge (special) unknown to judges, they are more or less successfully solve it through the development of conciliation procedures with the participation of knowledgeable persons. The current Russian procedural legislation does not provide for such conciliation procedures. In this respect, the experience developed in France, Italy and the USA is of interest. The reform of conciliation procedures initiated by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation served as normative consolidation by the Federal Law of 26 July 2019 No. 197-FZ “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” in the reborn form of the procedure of judicial conciliation known to the domestic civil procedural legislation of the Russian Empire, the regulations for which were approved by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on 31 October 2019. Is there a need to introduce conciliation procedures using special knowledge into Russian civil procedural legislation? Is it possible to use the American, Italian or French model? This article attempts to answer these two questions.

Published: February 2022

In rotating machinery, rolling bearings are often the components limiting service life. To avoid unforeseen downtimes, they have to be maintained. For reasons of safety and cost optimization, condition-based maintenance is increasingly being used. Knowing the condition of the components that are critical to wear is essential for this maintenance approach. The insight about the condition is achieved by means of suitable measurement variables, which can be used to automatically detect the condition of the components using machine learning. The quality of the condition monitoring is strongly dependent on the available measurement data and its preprocessing. For condition monitoring of rolling bearings, structure-borne sound signals can be used. The decisive factor here is to determine so-called features from the high-frequency sampled structure-borne sound signals. These features are supposed to reflect the characteristic properties of the measured signals. At the same time, the amount of data is considerably reduced. In this article, different methods of feature engineering based on structure-borne sound are investigated. For this purpose, the wear of rolling bearings is considered in the context of endurance tests. A new feature generation method is presented and compared to common methods from literature.
Öltransport und Reibungsbewertung innerhalb der Kolbenbolzenlagerung
Authors: Liebmann Dennis , Lagemann Volker , Bargende Michael
Published: February 2022

Increased loads and lower oil supply of today’s low-consumption internal combustion engines lead to higher demands on mechanical and elastohydro-dynamical design methods of the piston pin bearing. The bearing is not lubricated directly but through spray oil or oil mist. A description of the lubrication mechanism within the bearing has mostly been researched theoretically. In order to understand the friction conditions and lubrication mechanisms, the bearing is tested on an external test bench with high loads and a hydrostatic bearing of the piston. An enginelike lubrication can be variably adjusted. By comparing the contact pattern between measurement and calculation, conclusions can be drawn about the behaviour of the lubricant within the bearing. Using computational fluid dynamic calculations (CFD) the amount of oil in the gap of different lubrication directions is regarded. After transferring the results to the test bench a directed transport of lubricant is determined. Final friction measurements with an adapted direction of lubrication show a good accordance to the calculation results. These results validate a multi body system calculation (MBS/MKS) with a lubricating film coupling.

Effect of flattening wheat grain on grinding modes in roller mill
Authors: Kharchenko Yevgen , Sharan Andrii , Yeremeeva Olena
Published: February 2022

Introduction. The flattening process is used to intensify the grinding of grain during varietal milling of wheat, while the optimal gap between the rolls of the ivy system remains uncertain. Materials and methods. Flattening was carried out in a laboratory ivy machine with a roller diameter of 144.0 mm; 68.4 mm and a rotation speed of 14.6 s-1. Grinding of wheat grain was carried out in a roller mill. The length of the rollers is 70 mm; the number of rifts per 1 cm circle of rollers is 6, the slope of the rifts is 12%, the ratio of circular speeds is 1:2, the speed of rotation of the high-speed roller is 3.93 m/s, the diameter of the rollers is 150 mm, the interdependence of the rifts is the back on the back, the angles of exacerbation of the rifts are 35°/70°. The mode of grinding wheat grain in the ivy machine and in the roller mill was determined by sifting the products obtained through a sieve with holes of 1.0 mm. Granulometric analysis of crushed products was determined by sifting on a standard set of sieves with module Δ≈1.21. Result and discussion. When grinding ivy products in a roller mill, the total yield of intermediate products is nonlinear in nature and can be approximated by the equation of the second degree. The optimal distance between the rollers of the ivy machine is 1.4 mm, provided that small products after flattening were previously isolated from the mixture of the flattened product. The total product of intermediate products after flattening and grinding in the roller mill has a complex nonlinear nature, which did not allow to establish the optimal value of the gap value between the rollers of the ivy system. The total product of intermediate products obtained in total during flattening and grinding is 2.9 % greater than the total product product yield obtained only in the roller mill with small ivy products previously removed. Differential curves are polymodal and have 5 maximums. Integral curves have an S-shaped appearance. When grinding whole grain, the total yield of intermediate products is greater than when grinding flattened grain in a roller mill under the same conditions. When crushing flattened grain, a greater number of large fractions of products are formed due to small ones. Conclusion. In the range of the established optimal clearance between the rolls of the flattening machine, there are no significant differences between the two methods of grinding wheat.

Este artigo recorre à construção de tipologias para evidenciar a heterogeneidade do meio rural brasileiros e analisar a diversidade da agricultura familiar, em particular do público dos assentamentos da reforma agrária. Essas tipologias forma construídas a partir de informações do Censo Agropecuário 2017 e de registros administrativos, com o objetivo de delimitar, identificar e analisar comparativamente os estabelecimentos agropecuários da reforma agrária da Região Sul e discutir suas contribuições para o desenvolvimento rural. Os principais resultados apontam para uma grande diversidade de situações, mas algumas características são comuns: a) a reforma agrária é fonte de grande ocupação no campo: em 9 a cada 10 assentamentos, a intensidade no uso de mão de obra nas atividades é maior ou igual aos vizinhos; b) em termos de geração de renda, 6 em cada 10 assentamentos do sul do país geram valores de produção maiores ou iguais aos de seus vizinhos.

Impacts of Environmental Variations on Quality and Chemical Contents of Oriental Tobacco
Authors: Kurt Dursun
Published: February 2022

Basma tobaccos, in addition to Izmir and Samsun type tobaccos, are the most important high-quality oriental tobacco types grown in Turkey. This research was carried out to determine the effects of a variety of environmental conditions, in four locations on different altitudes on the yield as well as on nicotine, sugar and phenolic substances content. The plant material of the study included 21 Basma lines, which were selected according to their morphological differences and from genotypes separated by DNA fingerprint analysis, and four standard cultivars/lines (checks). The quality grade index of the genotypes was determined by the American grading method and chemical analyses were carried out using a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system. All the parameters investigated indicated that genotypes were significantly affected by the variation in environmental conditions. Organoleptic observations showed that the quality grade index of genotypes ranged from 24.17 to 100%, and the ERB-7, ERB-13, ERB-15, ERB-19 and ERB-38 lines had the best quality. Nicotine contents of tobacco lines were between 0.31 and 3.15% dry matter (DM). Glucose, fructose and their sum (reducing sugar) contents of genotypes ranged from 1.16 to 8.88% DM, from 2.60 to 8.66% DM and from 4.44 to 15.03% DM, respectively. The ERB-21 and ERB-30 lines are noteworthy tobacco types in terms of reducing sugar contents. The values of chlorogenic acid, one of the phenolic compounds, ranged from 40.67 to 1119.76 ppm, the values of rutin from 121.05 to 1021.53 ppm, and the sum of these two phenolic compounds was from 174.94 ppm to 2019.41 ppm. The effect of variations in the environment on the quality of Oriental tobacco can be clearly explained by the variations in the parameters.

Detailed data on the long-term performance of bioretention cells (BC) for stormwater management are sparse. This research aimed at setting up and testing an infrastructure that will provide the data on hydrologic and chemical performance of BC. Two identical experimental BC’s were built. The monitoring methodology monitoring was developed and tested during a first growing season with the first BC supplied with natural rainfall, while the second BC was used for ponding experiments. Key layer of the BCs, a biofilter, was composed of sand, compost and topsoil. Both BCs are equipped with sensors monitoring the components of water balance and the water potential of the biofilter. High levels of total suspended solids were detected in the outflow. The runoff coefficient for the entire period of the growing season was 0.72 in the first BC and 0.86 in the second BC, while the peak outflow reduction for individual rainfall episodes ranged between 75% to 95% for the first BC and 19% to 30% for the second BC. Saturated hydraulic conductivity of the biofilter in the first BC decreased by two orders of magnitudes after the first year of operation. Retention curves of the biofilter changed due to material consolidation.

Introduction: Acute abdominal pain persists in defying modern diagnostic procedures. Inflammatory response variables in urine and blood tests can help rule out other disorders and support a clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA), but there is no specific blood test that can diagnose AA. In order to address this, our study sought to establish the value of (NLR) as a prognostic and severity predictor in patients with AA.

Material and method: We conducted an observational retrospective study of 356 patients who had undergone surgery for AA, assessing NLR as an outcome metric. The NLR was estimated using the differential WBC (white blood count) reported on admission; the data obtained were then recorded in a database and statistically analyzed.

Results: The NLR medians correlated (p<0.001) in uncomplicated AA, AA with localized peritonitis, and AA with generalized peritonitis (Kruskal-Wallis test). The ROC curve identified 81.4 % sensitivity, 62.5 % specificity, and a 73 % AUC in localized peritonitis. The NLR value was associated with generalized peritonitis with a sensitivity of 63.7 %, specificity of 64.3 %, and AUC of 68.2%. The NLR-patient death association had 100% sensitivity, 80.3% specificity, and 93.5 AUC.

Conclusion: NLR determination in individuals with acute appendicitis may be useful in predicting complications. NLR values greater than 7.86 are usually related with generalized peritonitis, while values larger than 12.9 may predict an increased risk of patient death. Calculating NLR from a complete blood count is a straightforward and cost-effective method of analyzing complicated AA in resource-constrained settings.
John Lydgate’s Guy of Warwick and Fifteenth-Century Emotions
Authors: Czarnowus Anna
Published: February 2022

The article argues that John Lydgate’s Guy of Warwick is an innovative version of the Guy of Warwick legend as it emphasizes the feelings of its characters. Furthermore, it also openly intends to evoke emotions in its audience. The poem requires to be read in light of the newly emerged field of the history of medieval emotions since the social context of Lydgate’s Guy is more visible from this perspective. The poem offers an admixture of religious and secular feelings. As a result, the final scenes of bidding farewell to Guy by Felice and by the community have to be seen as related both to Guy as a hero and as a saint.

The future of work of both external and internal auditors is exciting and promising, as well as, in the same time, threatening and extremely demanding. The exciting and promising part is connected with lots of possibilities for auditors’ professional career developments and specialization, while the threatening and demanding part is directed towards the ongoing demand and need for continuous education and upgrading their knowledge base and skill sets in order to be able to stay up to date with all developments and changes in their and their clients’ internal and external surroundings. Today these surroundings are characterized by big data and usage of information and communication technologies (ICTs), among which the blockchain technology (BCT) is described as the most pervasive and promising one. This paper is primarily driven by the scarcity of literature and conducted scientific researches regarding the specialized educations and expertise that auditors need to attend and possess in order to be able to exist in the blockchain-based business environment. Therefore, the main research objective of this paper was to determine critical external and internal auditors’ expertise that they need to possess in order to be relevant and successful in the blockchain-based business environment. In order to achieve this main objective, desk research and survey research were conducted. Survey research was conducted on a sample of external and internal auditors in Croatia. In general, results of the empirical research showed that both external and internal auditors in Croatia think that they need to possess high level of expertise in advanced analytical procedures (APs) in order to be able to audit blockchain-based business operations. Consequently, this then instantaneously increases auditors’ demand for specialized education in fields of BCT, APs, and data analytics (DAs) in general.
