Published: January 2021

This study investigates the dynamics of speech envelope tracking during speech production, listening and self-listening. We use a paradigm in which participants listen to natural speech (Listening), produce natural speech (Speech Production), and listen to the playback of their own speech (Self-Listening), all while their neural activity is recorded with EEG. After time-locking EEG data collection and auditory recording and playback, we used a Gaussian copula mutual information measure to estimate the relationship between information content in the EEG and auditory signals. In the 2-10 Hz frequency range, we identified different latencies for maximal speech envelope tracking during speech production and speech perception. Maximal speech tracking takes place approximately 110 ms after auditory presentation during perception and 25 ms before vocalisation during speech production. These results describe a specific timeline for speech tracking in speakers and listeners in line with the idea of a speech chain and hence delays in communication.
Pandemics Initially Spread Among People of Higher (not Lower) Social Status: Evidence from COVID-19 and the Spanish Flu

Published: January 2021

According to a staple in the social sciences, pandemics particularly spread among people of lower social status. Challenging this staple, we hypothesize that it holds true in later phases of pandemics only. In the initial phases, by contrast, people of higher social status should be at the center of the spread. We tested our phase-sensitive hypothesis in two studies. In Study 1, we analyzed region-level COVID-19 infection data from 3,132 U.S. regions, 299 English regions, and 400 German regions. In Study 2, we analyzed historical data from 1,159,920 U.S. residents who witnessed the 1918/1919 Spanish Flu pandemic. For both pandemics, we found that the virus initially spread more rapidly among people of higher social status. In later phases, that effect reversed; people of lower social status were most exposed. Our results provide novel insights into the center of the spread during the critical initial phases of pandemics.

Hate speech should be tackled and prosecuted based on how it is operationalized. However, the existing theoretical definitions of hate speech are not sufficiently fleshed out or easily operable. In order to overcome this inadequacy, and with the help of interdisciplinary experts, we propose an empirical definition of hate speech by providing a list of 10 hate speech indicators and the rationale behind them (the indicators refer to specific, observable, and measurable characteristics that offer a practical definition of hate speech). A preliminary exploratory examination of the structure of hate speech, with the focus on comments related to migrants (one of the most reported grounds of hate speech), revealed that two indicators in particular, denial of human rights and promoting violent behavior, occupy a central role in the network of indicators. Furthermore, we discuss the practical implications of the proposed hate speech indicators – especially (semi-)automatic detection using the latest natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) methods. Having a set of quantifiable indicators could benefit researchers, human right activists, educators, analysts, and regulators by providing them with a pragmatic approach to hate speech assessment and detection.
An assessment of third-party reporting of close ties to measure sensitive behaviors: the Confidante Method to measure abortion incidence in Ethiopia and Uganda
Authors: Giorgio Margaret , Sully Elizabeth , Chiu Doris
Published: January 2021

Indirect estimation techniques are an important tool for measuring sensitive and stigmatized behaviors. This includes third-party reporting methods, which have become increasingly common in the field of abortion measurement, where direct survey approaches notoriously lead to underreporting. This paper provides the first in-depth assessment of one of the most widely used of these techniques in the field of abortion measurement: the Confidante Method. We outline six key assumptions behind the Confidante Method and describe how violations of these assumptions can bias resulting estimates. Using data from modules added to the nationally representative Performance Monitoring for Action (PMA) surveys in Uganda and Ethiopia in 2018, we compute one-year abortion incidence estimates using the Confidante Method. We also perform a validation check, using the method to estimate IUD and implant use. While our results reveal that the method performed differently in each country, there were implementation problems in both settings. Several of the method’s foundational assumptions were violated, and efforts to adjust for these violations either failed or only partially addressed the resulting bias. Our validation check also failed, resulting in a gross over-estimate of IUD and implant use. We identify substantial biases in both the numerator and denominator of our abortion estimates and challenge the continued use of this method to estimate abortion incidence. These results have implications more broadly for the potential biases that can be introduced in using third-party reporting of close ties to measure other sensitive or stigmatized behaviors.
A socialist price system: answering the Austrians
Authors: McMullen David
Published: January 2021

According to economists of the Austrian school, even with everyone’s best efforts, a system based on social ownership of the means of production could not effectively deploy a decentralized price system. The case is made primarily by Mises and Hayek in the 1920s and 1930s with a further contribution by Lavoie in the 1980s. Their argument can be broken down into two elements. Firstly, only the competitive market process can give prices the coordinative meaning necessary for economic calculation. Secondly, we cannot do without capitalists. To begin with, there has to be people with “skin in the game”; and, furthermore, those running socialist firms would not be in a position to replace the capitalists in the entrepreneurial role that the latter perform in an ever-changing economy. An examination of the key writings on these questions by these three economists reveals that their case rests on very shaky ground. The case is weakened further when one looks at the ways in which a socialist price system could be an improvement on what capitalism offers. The article also discusses the Lange and Dickinson ‘neoclassical’ models and shows them to be irrelevant diversions.

Published: January 2021

Objective: This study aimed at profiling cognitive functions in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Method: This cross-sectional investigation enrolled 45 patients with AMD and 45 age- and sex-matched controls. The overall cognitive performance in AMD sufferer versus control subjects was asses using the Persian version of the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination battery (ACE-R). Subjects’ sleep quality was also evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The mean global assessment and subscale scores were statistically compared between groups.Results: The mean global scores for ACE-R in AMD and control groups (80.4±12.3 and 86 ± 9.6, respectively) were found to be statistically different (p=0.018). On the other hand there was no significant difference (p=0.793) between the AMD and control groups in terms of PSQI scores (9.7±2.8 and 9.8±2.8, respectively). Conclusion: AMD patients seem to have cognitively underperformed in memory and verbal fluency domains compared to the control group. Evidence on cognitive impairments in patients with AMD may possibly herald neurocognitive insufficiencies and have common pathological mechanisms with dementias.
Measuring Self-Reliance in Refugee Camps
Authors: Schön Anna-Mara , Borchert Celina , Kunst Luisa
Published: January 2021

The concept of "self-reliance" is widespread, but only recently there have been initiatives that not only use the term “self-reliance”, but also try to measure it – rather for refugees outside than in refugee camps, though. Thus, the “Camp Performance Indicator (CPI) system” was developed and applied to different case studies. This paper examines the level of self-reliance for camps in Jordan (Zaatari camp and Azraq camp) and Kenya (Dadaab Complex), but also for refugee settlements in Uganda (Nakivale and Bidibidi) and simultaneously tests the CPI, a tool consisting of 109 indicators. Applying the CPI revealed that the level of self-reliance is generally low in the five camps and settlements studied, backing up our initial hypothesis.
Capital Meets Democracy: The Impact of Franchise Extension on Sovereign Bond Markets
Authors: Dasgupta Aditya , Ziblatt Daniel
Published: January 2021

By giving political rights to poor voters, did democratic political institutions pose a risk to financial capital? This paper draws lessons from the reaction of sovereign bond markets to franchise extensions between 1800 and 1920. If franchise extension transferred political power from economic and financial elites to workers, as redistributive theories of democratization suggest, then this should have resulted in a fall in the market price (increase in the yield) of a country’s bonds. Exploiting the asynchronous timing of franchise reforms across countries, we provide evidence that franchise extension contributed to large increases in the premium demanded by investors to hold sovereign debt, reflecting an increased risk of default. However, bond markets became less sensitive to franchise extensions over time, a pattern potentially due to the structure of inequality and the strategic adoption of institutions which protected financial interests.
Acceptability and Complications of Postpartum Intrauterine Device Insertion in Tertiary Care Hospital in Eastern Nepal
Authors: Sunuwar Subedi Shanti , Yadav M , Yadav D
Published: January 2021

The modern intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) is a safe, effective and long term reversible, coitus independent method of contraception with fewer side effects. The immediate postpartum insertion is considered to be an ideal time as patients need not have to return to the facility for the same. The aim of the study was to see the acceptance of PPIUCD and study its related complications. This is a hospital based prospective observational study done in a tertiary hospital at Eastern Nepal over a period of Six months from August 2019 to January 2020. All the women who delivered during the study period were counseled for family planning methods and those who opted for PPIUCD were enrolled. Data was validated and analyzed using SPSS version 17. Acceptance of PPIUCD in the study was only 6.3% despite the method being very effective, safe, long acting and reversible with fewer side effects. The main reason for declining the method being misbelief about the method and husband’s refusal. Forty percent of the acceptors were in the age group of 21-25 years and 33.6% of them were multigravida. Insertion was high in post placental vaginal delivery (61%) as compared to trans cesarean (28%). The main reason for removal was psychosocial aspects followed by pelvic pain and abnormal uterine bleeding. Few complications like UTI (4.4%), fever (4%) were noted during hospital stay and at three month follow up pelvic pain was the most common problem reported. Though the overall acceptance of PPIUCD is in rising trend but in this study it is very low. Awareness of the method, improving health education, active participation of the partner in the counseling process will definitely change the recent scenario. It should be incorporated in the government schemes like Safe Motherhood to cover the high unmet need of contraception in Nepal.

Authors: Mainali Apeksha , Chettri PK
Published: January 2021

Oral cavity is the mirror of systemic health. Amongst various systemic diseases, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one such disease that presents with a spectrum of oral manifestations. The oral health care professionals need to attain a holistic approach to the management of patients with complex medical problems and should be in par with the changing technology and medical advances. Amongst all the systemic disorders, diseases of the renal system pose a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, as the kidneys are vital organs for maintaining a stable internal environment. The plethora of oral manifestations observed in chronic renal failure and associated therapies are altered taste, gingival enlargement, xerostomia, various mucosal lesions like hairy leukoplakia, lichenoid reactions, ulcerations, angular chelitis, candidiasis etc. With growing awareness about the inter-relationship between dental and medical problems, the role of dentist has become pivotal in overall health care of patients with CKD and also to render services for the oral findings of such diseases. This information can be used for designing effective intervention strategies to prevent and manage oral manifestations in adult hemodialysis patients of Nepal. The objective of this cross sectional study was to see the oral manifestations in hemodialysis patients and their Knowledge and attitude towards Oral Health. Face to face interviews was done with the patients to gather knowledge regarding socio-demographic variables and tobacco history. Following statistical analysis, it was seen that multiple oral manifestations were seen in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Evaluation of Post-Bronchodilator Reversibility in Patient with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Asthma
Authors: Devkota Krishna Chandra , Hamal S , Pant PP
Published: January 2021

Obstructive lung disease is a group of disorders comprising Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma. It is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. COPD is a preventable and treatable disease characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation, whereas asthma is reversible episodes of recurrent wheezing, cough, breathlessness, and chest tightness. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish COPD from asthma when COPD patients present with significant post-bronchodilator reversibility. Spirometry is the gold standard test to diagnose obstructive airway disease. We carried out a hospital-based cross-sectional study in Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital from January 2018 to December 2018. One hundred and ninety eight patients who met the inclusion criteria underwent spirometry. Basal and post-bronchodilator FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, and reversibility of FEV1 were measured. The majority of the patients enrolled in the study were males (n=100). The mean age of the patients was 49.3±17.0 years. Most of the patients were above 60 years of age (n=68). Clinical diagnosis of asthma was made in 113 (57%) and COPD in 85 (43%) patients. Post-bronchodilator reversibility was observed in 48 (42%) asthmatic and 19 (22%) COPD patients. Post-bronchodilator reversibility was statistically significant in asthmatic patients (p=0.032). Post-bronchodilator reversibility was observed in COPD patients as well. Therefore, post-bronchodilator reversibility alone may have a limited role in differentiating COPD from bronchial asthma. However, spirometry is mandatory to diagnose a patient with obstructive lung disease.

Published: January 2021

This study aimed to understand the tourist attractions, major tourism products and their assessment in Manaslu Conservation Area of Nepal MCA). MCA is a place well known both, nationally and internationally, for its scenic beauty, unique ecology, and rich cultural heritage, given by its geographic position and unique topography. The number of tourists visiting this area has been increasing every year. In 2001 the tourist flow was only 798 whereas in 2019 it was 7655. Such tourism growth has several socio-economic and cultural consequences. Along with the increased number of tourists, tourism focused facilities and infrastructures like hotels and tea shops are also increasing in the area. There are 127 hotels with 1328 rooms and 2827 beds (as of 2019) providing food and accommodation services for the visitors. However, even though there are many potential areas for tourism development in the Manaslu Conservation Area, because of less promotional practices, there is very little tourism activity in the region. With the area's diverse physiography, unique landscape, biodiversity and the social-cultural dimension of the villages, the area could provide plenty of attractions for tourism.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), is an important ligand-dependent transcription factor, which retained its structural and functional features during evolution. AHR target genes play a key role in detoxification, in the regulation of the development and maintenance of eukaryotic homeostasis. The high conservatism of human AHR allowed us to study its functions in vivo using transgenic Drosophila melanogaster lines with an inducible human AHR gene. It is believed that Drosophila AHR homolog isn't activated by exogenous ligands, so human AHR can be tissue-specific activated in the body of a transgenic fly. This allows us to analyze the transcription level of AHR target genes in various organs and tissues. Unexpectedly we found that exogenous AHR ligands can increase as well as decrease the transcription levels of the AHR target genes, including genes that control proliferation, motility, polarization, and programmed cell death. We hypothesized that the absence of the expected increase in the transcription of some AHR target genes was caused by its epigenetic silencing. This hypothesis was confirmed in the experiments using histone lysine-N-methyltransferase inhibitors and with Drosophila null mutation of the methyltransferase Pc gene. As a result a new epigenetic mechanism of modulation of human aryl hydrocarbon receptor target genes transcription was discovered. Since exogenous AHR ligands and small molecule inhibitors of epigenetic modifiers are often used as pharmaceutical anticancer drugs, our findings may have significant implications in designing new combinations of therapeutic treatments for oncological diseases.

Published: January 2021

Genome-editing strategies have recently emerged as promising tools to impart desired properties to many eukaryotic species, including plants. This technology can CRISPR/Cas9 be used to engineer plant resistance to narrow or wide range of pathogens, reproductive developmental features and other plant properties. It is known that EDS1 arabidopsis protein controls protection activation and programmable cell death due to intercellular Toll-like immune receptors that recognize specific pathogen effectors. Unfortunately, the involvement of EDS1 protein in the antiphytoviral immunity of potato plants has not been studied. Meiosis has a special place in the system of sexual and seeds-without-sex reproduction. Key meiosis genes, and above all the DYAD/ SWI1 gene, are a potential candidate in the search for apomixis genes. Binary vectors were obtained on the basis of plasmid pBAtC by the restriction-ligase method. Thus, three expression vectors (p01, p03 and p04) were created for editing the locus EDS1. Two expression vectors (pII-25 and pVIII-29) were created to introduce mutations in the second and eighth exons of the DYAD/ SWI1 arabidopsis gene. In all cases, the presence of cloned inserts was confirmed by DNA sequencing. The created p01, p03, p04 vectors under the pAtU6-6 arabidopsis promoter and the previously obtained p13 vector under the potato pStU6 promoter are already used in the work on bioballistic transformation of potato plants in vitro.

Teknologi finansial memberikan kemudahan dan kecepatan akses masyarakat terhadap jasa finansial, khususnya sektor fintech lending. Sayangnya beberapa persoalan muncul di lapangan. Seperti minimnya literasi keuangan, yang menyebabkan justru makin sulitnya masyarakat memenuhi hak dan kewajibannya. Absennya literasi inilah juga yang menyebabkan fenomena ‘gali lobang tutup lobang,’ yang praktiknya makin melebar selama pandemi ini. Selain juga muncul fintech ilegal yang melakukan pengumpulan data pribadi massal, penagihan kasar bahkan pengancaman dan teror. Dalam perspektif hukum dan teori keamanan hal ini merupakan objek yang perlu distudi lebih lanjut. Dengan menggunakan metode pendekatan hukum normatif dan sosio-legal, penelitian ini mencoba menggali pelaksanan peraturan tentang fintech lending. Dari sini, pemangku kebijakan seperti Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) mempunyai peranan yang signifikan. Lembaga ini sudah menyiapkan peraturan baru, hasil dari belajar dan pengalaman selama beberapa tahun menangani masalah fintech lending ini. Begitu juga dengan asosiasi industri yang sudah menerbitkan Fintech Data Center (FDC), yang menyediakan perlengkapan administrasi maupun teknologi untuk memecahkan persoalan di sektor fintech lending.

Penelitian membahas  penerapan metode elemen batas dual-reciprocity (MEBDR) pada saluran irigasi jalur yang periodik pada tanah homogen. MEBDR merupakan salah metode numerik yang dapat menyelesaikan masalah infiltrasi stasioner pada saluran periodik pada tanah yang homogen. Beberapa penelitian sebelumnya hanya menhitung secara analisis. Oleh karena itu, MEBDR ini sangat diperlukan. Penelitian ini meruapakn penelitian studi literatur dengan menggunakan simulasi MATLAB. Dalam peneyelesaiannya dibangun dari Persamaan Richards. Persamaan Richards ini kemudian ditransformasikan menjadi Persamaan Helmholtz termodifikasi. Selanjutnya dengan DRBEM, solusi numerik dari Persamaan Helmholtz termodifikasi diperoleh. Menggunakan solusi numerik yang diperoleh, dapat dihitung nilai numerik dari suction potential dan water content. Dari beberapa saluran periodik, diperoleh saluran non-flat tanpa lapisan memiliki infiltrasi yang baik dibanding saluran flat dan non flat dengan lapisan impermeabel. Dalam hal ini saluran rectangular memiliki suction potential dan water content paling baik jika dibandingkan dengan trapezoidal dan semi circular. Karena perbedaan dari ketiga saluran tersebut tidak begitu signifikan. Jika diterapkan dalam bidang pertanian, maka akan membantu dalam meningkatkan hasil pertanian, khususnya tanaman yang menggunakan irigasi jalur.

The author gives the purpose of writing to discuss the crisis in the household, rebuild the household and give Christian values in counteracting divorce. The author uses descriptive literature research method data and provides research results: How a harmonious family can be established dynamically if we base our family building on the basis of strong Christian spirituality values accompanied by a fabric of good communication between us and our children. Surprisingly few studies have explored the implications of divorce happened because family can not be established, especially in young adulthood. This study addresses several theoretical arguments linking divorce in the side of spiritual value with reduced religious involvement in young adulthood and tests relevant hypotheses using data from a unique sample. Results show that divorce in the side of spiritual value is associated with substantially lower communicate religious involvement among young adults in their families house.
Трагічні і травматогенні наслідки радянської політики в галузі української літератури
Authors: Siryk Ludmiła
Published: January 2021

У статті розглядаються наслідки в українській літературі радянської політики в 1922-1991 роках. Tрaгiчні наслідки радянської пoлiтики щодо української літератури простежуються на трьох рівнях культурної травми, а саме: а) в індивідуальній бioгрaфiї та творчості представників літератури, б) нa тлі суспільної спільноти українців, в) у макросуспільній площині. Ці проблеми сприяють формуванню травматогенних чинників, які у свою чергу негативно впливають нa рoзвиток, якість i популяризацію української літератури.
Ентолома ніфоіде czy Веселка звичайна? - łacina i greka jako źródło ukraińskich nazw grzybów wielkoowocnikowych
Authors: Jóźwikiewicz Przemysław Daniel
Published: January 2021

Języki klasyczne są istotnym źródłem ukraińskiej terminologii mykologicznej i analizowanych w niniejszym artykule nazw grzybów makroskopijnych. Badania, których wyniki tu przedstawiono, dowodzą, iż wpływ, zwłaszcza łaciny, na ten kompleks słownictwa jest bardzo szeroki. Aż 75% wszystkich nazw w badanej próbce stanowią struktury, których element główny to zapożyczenie właściwe o proweniencji głównie łacińskiej (np. Нектрія пеціца). Nazw, których człon rodzajowy tworzył leksem ukraiński, jest ponad trzykrotnie mniej (wliczając w to także konstrukcje, których oba człony były stricte ukraińskie, np. Маслюк звичайний). Zupełnie odmiennie rysuje się struktura epitetów gatunkowych. Tu z kolei dominują leksemy rdzennie ukraińskie (w sumie niemal tysiąc jednostek, np. Антродія вербова) i kalki (ponad 500 jednostek, np. Головач келиховидний). W funkcji tej zapożyczenia występują raczej incydentalnie (nieco powyżej stu jednostek, np. Сироїжка Аврора), podobnie jak struktury hybrydalne (kilkadziesiąt przykładów, np. Дощовик умбровий).

Relationship Between Chronic Noise Exposure, Cognitive Impairment, and Degenerative Dementia: Update on the Experimental and Epidemiological Evidence and Prospects for Further Research
Authors: Huang Lei , Zhang Yang , Wang Yongwei , Lan Yajia
Published: January 2021

Degenerative dementia, of which Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form, is characterized by the gradual deterioration of cognitive function. The events that trigger and promote degenerative dementia are not clear, and treatment options are limited. Experimental and epidemiological studies have revealed chronic noise exposure (CNE) as a potential risk factor for cognitive impairment and degenerative dementia. Experimental studies have indicated that long-term exposure to noise might accelerate cognitive dysfunction, amyloid-β deposition, and tau hyperphosphorylation in different brain regions such as the hippocampus and cortex. Epidemiological studies are increasingly examining the possible association between external noise exposure and dementia. In this review, we sought to construct a comprehensive summary of the relationship between CNE, cognitive dysfunction, and degenerative dementia. We also present the limitations of existing evidence as a guide regarding important prospects for future research.

Published: January 2021

Background:

The relationship among amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition on amyloid positron emission tomography (PET), cortical metabolism on 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)-PET, and clinical diagnosis has not been elucidated for both Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Lewy body disease (LBD).

Objective:

We investigated the patterns of cerebral metabolism according to the presence of AD and LBD.

Methods:

A total of 178 subjects were enrolled including 42 pure AD, 32 pure LBD, 34 Lewy body variant AD (LBVAD), 15 LBD with amyloid, 26 AD with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and 29 control subjects. Pure AD, LBVAD, and AD with DLB groups had biomarker-supported diagnoses of typical AD, while pure LBD, LBD with amyloid, and AD with DLB groups had biomarker-supported diagnoses of typical LBD. Typical AD and LBD with amyloid showed amyloid-positivity on 18F-florbetaben (FBB) PET, while typical LBD and LBVAD had abnormalities on dopamine transporter PET. We measured regional patterns of glucose metabolism using FDG-PET and evaluated their relationship with AD and LBD.

Results:

Compared with control group, typical AD and typical LBD commonly exhibited hypometabolism in the bilateral temporo-parietal junction, precuneus, and posterior cingulate cortex. Typical AD showed an additional hypometabolism in the entorhinal cortex, while patients with dopamine transporter abnormality-supported diagnosis of LBD showed diffuse hypometabolism that spared the sensory-motor cortex. Although the diffuse hypometabolism in LBD also involved the occipital cortex, prominent occipital hypometabolism was only seen in LBD with amyloid group.

Conclusion:

Combining clinical and metabolic evaluations may enhance the diagnostic accuracy of AD, LBD, and mixed disease cases.
Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative Similarities and Interactions: A Point of View About Lifelong Neurocognitive Trajectories
Authors: Magnin Eloi
Published: January 2021

Neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders are both growing major public health topics with similarities and frequent complex interactions with each other. Taking these aspects into account can provide a new point of view on lifelong neurocognitive trajectories. Assessing both neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative dimensions during cognitive and behavioral clinical assessments is challenging but might improve diagnostic accuracy and physiopathological understanding. It is therefore necessary to understand the lifelong specific neurocognitive trajectory of each patient in order to develop personalized precision cognitive medicine.
