Sexual orientation predicts women’s preferences for sexually dimorphic face-shape characteristics
Authors: Shiramizu Victor Kenji Medeiros , DeBruine Lisa Marie , Feinberg David R. , Jones Benedict C
Published: April 2021

Trade-off theories of women’s masculinity preferences propose that women’s masculinity preferences vary according to the probability of reproduction. Consistent with the proposal that preferences for masculine men are stronger when probability of reproduction is higher, previous research reported that heterosexual women show stronger preferences for images of male faces displaying masculine shape characteristics than do homosexual women (Glassenberg et al., 2010). However, many reported findings for individual differences in women’s masculinity preferences have not been replicated in subsequent studies. Consequently, we carried out a direct replication of Glassenberg et al’s (2010) comparison of heterosexual and homosexual women’s preferences for sexually dimorphic face-shape characteristics. Replicating the results from Glassenberg et al. (2010), we found that heterosexual women (N = 20,360) showed stronger preferences for masculine men that did homosexual women (N = 1598). This finding is consistent with the proposal that women’s preferences for masculine men are stronger when the probability of reproduction is higher, presenting further evidence for trade-off theories of women’s masculinity preferences.
Rain, Rain, Go Away: 195 Potential Exclusion-Restriction Violations for Studies Using Weather as an Instrumental Variable
Authors: Mellon Jonathan
Published: April 2021

Instrumental variable (IV) analysis assumes the instrument only affects the dependent variable via its relationship with the independent variable. Other possible causal routes from the IV to the dependent variable are exclusion-restriction violations and invalidate the instrument. Weather has been widely used as an instrumental variable in social science to predict many different variables. The use of weather to instrument different independent variables represents strong prima facie evidence of exclusion violations for all studies using weather IVs. A review of 288 studies reveals 192 variables previously linked to weather: all representing potential exclusion violations. Using sensitivity analysis, I show that the magnitude of many of these violations is sufficient to overturn numerous existing IV results. I conclude with practical steps to systematically review existing literature to identify possible exclusion violations when using IV designs.
The Effects of Public Campaign Funding: Evidence from Seattle's Democracy Voucher Program
Authors: Griffith Alan , Noonen Thomas
Published: April 2021

During each election cycle, the city of Seattle distributes four $25 vouchers to every registered voter, which may be donated to and redeemed by campaigns for city office. Through a difference-in-differences research design, we study the causal effect of Seattle's program on various outcomes in city council elections in the first two cycles after implementation, with comparison cities drawn from large cities in Washington and California. We find a 53% increase in total contributions and a 350% increase in number of unique donors; these effects are largely explained by large increases in small donations, defined as contributions less than $200. We find statistically insignificant evidence of decreases in private donations, although our point estimates suggest moderate-to-substantial crowd-out ratios. We further estimate a highly significant 86% increase in number of candidates coupled with substantial decreases in incumbent electoral success. These results provide some of the first causal evidence of the effect of decentralized public campaign finance schemes, while speaking to the impacts of campaign regulation more generally on donation activity, candidate entry, and incumbency advantage.
Democracy & Demography: Intersectional Issues in Politics
Authors: Ferree Myra Marx
Published: April 2021

Democracy and Demography: Intersectional dimensions of political conflictsAbstractFeminist theory revealed liberal democracy as gendered masculine in an intersectional way that privileges racial-ethnic and economic power, enforces heteronormativity, and constructs gender-binary citizenship. Merely reformed to accommodate women, brotherhood-breadwinner democracies now face deeper challenges. The second demographic transition undermines the hegemonic quality of binary gender relations, and organizes political conflict on an axis of reproductive politics. Germany’s Green and AfD parties exemplify opposite ends of this axis. Intersectional clusters of issues now reflect ideals that de-masculinize democracy, while reactionary populism re-politicizes masculinity to defend the family-state relations of the breadwinner-brotherhood gender system.
Transnational digital governance and its impact on artificial intelligence
Authors: Dempsey Mark , McBride Keegan , Haataja Meeri , Bryson Joanna J.
Published: April 2021

The rapid pace of technological advancement and innovation has put governance and regulatory mechanisms to the test. There is a clear need for new and innovative regulatory mechanisms that enable governments to successfully manage the integration of such technologies into our societies and ensure that such integration occurs in a sustainable, beneficial, and just manner. Artificial Intelligence stands out as one of the most debated such innovations. What exactly is it, how should it be built, how can it be used, and how and should it be regulated? Yet, in this debate, AI is becoming widely utilized within both existing, evolving, and bespoke regulatory contexts. The present chapter explores in particular what is arguably the most successful AI regulatory approach to date, that of the European Union. We explore core definitional concepts, shared understandings, values, and approaches currently in play. We argue that due to the so-called ‘Brussels effect’, regulatory initiatives within the European Union have a much broader global impact and, therefore, warrant close inspection.
A Religious Tolerance and Harmony the Qur'anic Perspective
Authors: Yusuf Choirul Fuad
Published: April 2021

The religious tolerance and harmony is something necessary to develop due to the need of global security and peace today. For this purpose, all religions have to be fairly “tolerant” to others. Islam as a revealed religion, whatever its motive, is often perceived and accused as the religion of intolerance and violence. Some political and ideological questions, for example raised to this context: "Can Islamic faith tolerate other faiths, religions or groups?”, What’s actually the Islamic teachings on tolerance and peace or harmony?” and the likes. This article attempts to unpack and elaborate of how far at Qur’an –as the first and primary source of Islam– has a teaching on tolerance and peace. Using a hermeneutical approach the writer understands and analyses what is actually taught by al Qur'an on the concepts and practices of the tolerance. Based on the analysis, he highlights any conclusions of which al-Qur’an (Islam) teaches the followers to respect and implement the doctrine of tolerance and peace. The Muslim world is imperatively to tolerate others, or respect the differences for strengthening the world security and peaceful life amongst nationwide.
Chinese Muslim Predicament in Indonesia's Post Reformation
Authors: Eko Putro Zainal Abidin
Published: April 2021

Indonesian Chinese with no exception Chinese Muslim in Indonesia has stepped into a considerable freedom during the current Reformation era. As like as many other Chinese Indonesians who take a part in creating integration model without abandoning their ethnic identity, Chinese Muslim have also shown similar endeavor. However, within the context of post-Reformation democracy, it seems that Chinese Muslim solely fights against any other Indonesian Chinese group and other Muslim community in Indonesia at the same time. Study about Chinese Muslim in Indonesia after Reformation is briefly undertaken ranging from its political contexts, cultural, and economy alike. Some scholars who interest in its cultural realm have been dealt with the important role of Chinese in spreading Islam into Nusantara in 14th Century. Here, Admiral Cheng Ho was an influential figure to introduce Islam to local people in northern coastal area of Java Island. It sounds that it is unlike with many other scholars who convince that Islam came to Java in the hand of Gujarat traders. This paper tries to explore the existence of Chinese Muslim in Jakarta during the current Post Reformation era. To complete this paper, I try to combine data that taken from in-depth interview with literature review and personal observation on some people and signs of Chinese Muslim in Jakarta.

Reading Popular Islamic Literature: Continuity And Change In Indonesian Literature
Authors: Rokib Mohammad
Published: April 2021

In the last few years, literature on Islamic themes has become increasingly popular in Indonesia. It is commonly categorized as Islamic literature identified by Islamic texts and symbols on the book cover and its content. The literary works have been popular as reflected in the record sales figures. Previously, some literary works dealing with Islamic themes failed to gain public attention. Interestingly, those works are not mentioned by people as Islamic literature. This paper aims to discuss some questions on why are some literary works on Islamic theme mentioned as Islamic while others are not? Is there Islamic literature within Indonesian literature? What are the differences between Islamic literature and kitab literature (sastra kitab) written by Muslim scholars in the Malay world? By exploring the social context of reader responses toward selected literary works on Islam, this study reveals that the label of Islamic literature is created to confront opposite themes in Indonesian literature. The term Islamic literature remains a problematic and debatable issue related to literature based on Islamic themes in both old and modern Indonesian literature.

Published: April 2021

Objetivo. Evaluar mediante flujometría Doppler y de manera simultánea el flujo de la arteria y vena mesentérica superior en casos normales y en aquellos portadores de gastrosquisis, como criterio adicional en el pronóstico. Métodos. Se determinó mediante flujometría Doppler el índice venoso/arterial, obteniendo los valores de referencia de los vasos mesentéricos superiores, en un grupo de 60 fetos sanos con 30 a 34 semanas de gestación y 15 casos portadores de gastrosquisis. Se obtuvo la onda de velocidad de flujo (OVF) simultáneamente de la arteria y de la vena mesentérica superior, con ángulo de insonación menor a 60°; la velocidad de la vena fue dividida entre el pico sistólico de la arteria y calculado el índice porcentual entre las velocidades de ambos vasos. El equipo utilizado fue un MyLab Twice de Esaote con transductor convexo de 3,5 MHz. Resultados. El valor del índice veno/arterial de los vasos mesentéricos superiores en el grupo control fue 26% ± 6 (2DE). En 12 casos de gastrosquisis, el índice se mantuvo dentro de los valores de referencia y con índice pronóstico favorable para reducción primaria (9 con técnica de Svelitza y 3 con reducción primaria neonatal inmediata) y, en tres casos, el índice porcentual veno/arterial se encontró por debajo del 20%, (1%, 14% y 16%), con resultados desfavorables. En el caso con mayor compromiso, no pudo detectarse flujo venoso y requirió de resección amplia, con síndrome de intestino corto y fallecimiento a los 6 meses. Conclusiones. El índice de perfusión de las asas intestinales evisceradas, estudiado mediante la relación porcentual entre las velocidades de la vena y velocidad máxima de la arteria mesentérica superior, podría ser considerada como un complemento pronóstico en las condiciones de flujos aferentes y eferentes en que se encuentran dichas asas, en los casos de gastrosquisis.

Authors: Reyna-Villasmil Eduardo , Torres-Cepeda Duly , Rondon-Tapia Martha
Published: April 2021

El paraganglioma es una neoplasia neuroendocrina extraadrenal derivada de precursores de la cresta neural, que surgen en asociación con los ganglios autónomos y, en ocasiones, también son denominados feocromocitomas extraadrenales. Se definen por su sitio anatómico y si son o no hormonalmente funcionales. Los paragangliomas son neoplasias poco frecuentes del tracto genital femenino y pueden aparecer en ovarios, útero o cuello uterino. Los que aparecen en la región vulvovaginal son extremadamente raros. Las manifestaciones clínicas dependen de la secreción no regulada de catecolaminas y la localización. El diagnóstico se basa en hallazgos morfológicos e inmunohistoquímicos. La resección quirúrgica es un tratamiento primario para este tumor, ya que no responde bien a la quimio-radioterapia. Debido a su baja frecuencia y sintomatología inespecífica, puede mostrar dificultades para realizar el diagnóstico. Se presenta un caso de paraganglioma vulvovaginal primario.

Published: April 2021

Las cardiopatías congénitas son las anomalías congénitas más frecuentes. El defecto ventricular septal (DVS) es la cardiopatía congénita más común en los recién nacidos que afecta entre 25 y 30% de los neonatos con defecto cardiaco; los de tipo medio muscular son más comunes que los perimembranosos. La incidencia de anomalías cromosómicas con DVS aislado es relativamente baja. El cierre espontáneo del DVS aislado ocurre en aquellos que son pequeños, y el DVS muscular medio es el que más comúnmente se cierra comparado con el membranoso o perimembranoso. El diagnóstico de DVS muscular aislado sin otra anomalía puede ser considerado un hallazgo benigno.

Authors: Reyna-Villasmil Eduardo
Published: April 2021

El embarazo es una condición favorable para la formación y crecimiento del cáncer de tiroides, ya que el equilibrio de yodo puede ser negativo además de aumentar la producción de hormonas con actividad estimuladora de la tiroides. La mayoría de los cánceres encontrados durante el embarazo son cánceres de tiroides diferenciados con un pronóstico excelente. Aquellos casos diagnosticados durante el primer trimestre pueden ser extirpados por cirugía. La tiroidectomía puede realizarse de manera segura en el segundo trimestre del embarazo o retrasarse al periodo posparto, dependiendo de la edad gestacional. La paciente debe recibir levotiroxina en una dosis suficiente para mantener baja las concentraciones séricas de hormona tiroestimulante. La tiroglobulina sérica es un valioso método no invasivo para evaluar los efectos de este tratamiento. El objetivo de la revisión es establecer el manejo de cáncer de tiroides durante el embarazo.

Accounting policy affects the final performance of the organization and the industry as a whole, allows you to generate reliable accounting information. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to determine the factors influencing the formation of accounting policies of agricultural enterprises and the development of their own proposals for the construction of accounting policies in accordance with international accounting principles. Results. The article considers the essence, content of the accounting policy of the enterprise. The main factors influencing the formation of accounting policies of agricultural enterprises are identified, as well as a structured list and grouping is proposed. It is substantiated that the selected internal and external factors are the only holistic system that ensures effective decision-making on the formation of accounting policies of the enterprise. It is established that the formation of accounting policies of agricultural enterprises in accordance with international accounting principles requires certain prerequisites, including the identification of factors influencing the choice and justification of accounting policies in accordance with international financial reporting standards. We have developed our own proposals for building a rational and effective system of formation of the accounting process in the transition to international accounting principles. Conclusions. Therefore, in the process of forming the accounting policy of agricultural enterprises it is necessary to take into account a group of internal and external factors that in one way or another affect its formation in the enterprise management system. In the absence of a single algorithm for the process of developing a comprehensive accounting policy for accounting, financial and management accounting and for tax purposes, taking into account IFRS, it is necessary to develop methodological approaches to the formation of a comprehensive accounting policy that allows to systematize and logically structure this process. and tax minimization and a number of other costs.
