IRS posttranslational modifications in regulating insulin signaling
Authors: Peng Jinghua , He Ling
Published: November 2017

Insulin resistance is the hallmark of type 2 diabetes; however, the mechanism underlying the development of insulin resistance is still not completely understood. Previous reports showed that posttranslational modifications of IRS play a critical role in insulin signaling, especially the phosphorylation of IRS by distinct kinases. While it is known that increasing Sirtuin1 deacetylase activity improves insulin sensitivity in the liver, the identity of its counterpart, an acetyl-transferase, remains unknown. Our recent study shows that elevated endotoxin (LPS) levels in the liver of obese mice lead to the induction of the acetyl-transferase P300 through the IRE1-XBP1s pathway. Subsequently, induced P300 impairs insulin signaling by acetylating IRS1 and IRS2 in the insulin signaling pathway. Therefore, the P300 acetyl-transferase activity appears to be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetes.

Introduction:  To compare the effects of oral clonidine and tramadol on shivering caused by spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing transurethral lithotripsy (TUL).

Methods: The present study is a triple-blind clinical trial conducted on 80 elective urologic surgical candidates during 2016-2017 at Tehran Hasheminejad Hospital in Iran. Using the Balanced Block Randomization method, the patients were randomly assigned into two groups (40 patients per group) 90 minutes before performing spinal anesthesia. The first group (group C) received 150 µg of oral clonidine and the second group (group T) received 50 mg of oral tramadol. Body temperature, core body temperature, heart rate, diastolic blood pressure and shivering were recorded for the patients at different time periods, and entered in the SPSS22 software program. The above variables were then statistically analyzed using independent sample T-tests chi-squared tests and Repeated Measure ANOVA.

Results: The results of this study indicated that there was a significant statistical difference (P<0.05) between the clonidine and tramadol treatment groups with regards to some variables, such as average body temperature and average core temperature, at different time periods. However, for other variables, such as heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and shivering, there were no significant statistical differences between the two treatment groups (P>0.05).

Conclusion: Clonidine and tramadol treatment groups were only significantly different in terms of body temperature and core temperature. Therefore, it is recommended that other precise randomized clinical trials be performed to ensure the accuracy of the results of this study.

Two-Year Neurodevelopmental Outcome of an Infant Born at 21 Weeks’ 4 Days’ Gestation
Authors: Ahmad Kaashif A. , Frey Charlotte S. , Fierro Mario A. , Kenton Alexander B. , Placencia Frank X.
Published: November 2017

Recent literature confirms that, at the lower limit of extrauterine survival, substantial intercenter variability exists in resuscitation practice. The reasons for this variability are unclear, but may be related to disagreement on how to apply the best interests standard to extremely premature infants. Currently, both obstetric and pediatric societies recommend against assessing for viability or attempting resuscitation before 22 weeks’ gestation. In this context, we report the unimpaired 2-year outcome of a female infant resuscitated after delivery at 21 weeks’ 4 days’ gestation and 410 g birth weight. She may be the most premature known survivor to date. This infant had multiple risk factors for adverse outcome, including prolonged mechanical ventilation, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and threshold retinopathy of prematurity. She achieved discharge from the hospital on low-flow oxygen at 39 weeks’ 4 days’ gestation and 2519 g. At 24 months’ and 8 days’ chronological age, she achieved cognitive, motor, and language Bayley III scores of 90, 89, and 88, equivalent to 105, 100, and 103 at 20 months 2 days corrected age. It is known that active intervention policies at 22 weeks’ gestation improves the outcome for those infants and it may be reasonable to infer that these benefits would extend, if to a lesser degree, into the 21st week. Ultimately, such limited data exist at this gestational age that the time may have arrived for obstetrical centers to begin systematically reporting fetal outcomes in the 21st week.

What's the Story? A New Perspective on the Value of Economic Forecasts
Authors: Sharpe Steven A. , Sinha Nitish R. , Hollrah Christopher A.
Published: November 2017

We apply textual analysis tools to measure the degree of optimism versus pessimism of the text that describes Federal Reserve Board forecasts published in the Greenbook. We then examine whether this measure of sentiment, or Greenbook text &quot;Tonality&quot;, has incremental power for predicting the economy, specifically, unemployment, GDP growth, and inflation up to four quarters ahead; we also test whether Tonality helps predict monetary policy and stock returns. Tonality is found to have significant and substantive directional predictive power for the GDP growth and the change in unemployment over the subsequent four-quarter horizon, particularly since 1990. Higher (more optimistic) Tonality presages higher than forecast GDP growth and lower unemployment. Higher Tonality is also found to help predict tighter monetary policy up to four quarters ahead. Finally, we find that Tonality has substantial positive and significant power for predicting 3-month-ahead and 6-month ahea d stock market returns.

Efecto Talbot Unidimensional y Bidimensional
Authors: Villasana Mercado Patricia , González Flores Ana Laura , Codratian Rosu Haret , Gutiérrez Medina Braulio
Published: November 2017

In this paper, we show some experimental results obtained by us in the summer of 2014 in IPICyT to prove the occurrence of the Talbot effect. This effect is due to the constructive interference which leads to the appearance of clear images at a certain distance behind a periodic object illuminated by a light source. The distance of appearance is known as the Talbot distance and provides the spatial scale of this self-imaging phenomenon. We used onedimensional periodic and quasi-periodic gratings as well as two-dimensional hexagonal ones which have been produced by using the Adobe Illustrator graphical program at calculated spatial frequencies that allowed the observation of the effect within the laboratory. The gratings have been illuminated with a He-Ne laser of wavelength 633 nm (red) for which we determined the distance at which a clear self-image of the gratings could be obtained.

Análisis de fiabilidad aplicado a interruptores de potencia en subestaciones eléctricas
Authors: Galaviz Rodríguez José Víctor
Published: November 2017

Failure analysis and industrial safety presented in industrial processes are defined through probabilistic systems such as Weibull modeling. This practice relies on the domain of the fiability engineering where many predictive techniques are considered in order to establish correct maintenance of industry’s equipment. The predictive Weibull analysis considers exponential stochastic and normal model series leading to analytical solutions based on statistics and probability techniques. However, in plant, a graphical method is preferable due to fast and easy implementation, known as Weibull plot. In this paper, the Weibull plot is employed in order to establish the dependability, average and deviation for a group of power circuit breakers used by the generation and delivery electric power company in Apizaco, Tlaxcala, México.

Identificación de la incertidumbre en el proceso estocástico de caudales medios en el río Fonce (San Gil – Santander)
Authors: Torres Pungo Katherine , Rivera Hebert Gonzalo , Rivera María , Fuentes Bacca Jorge Brandon , León Alvarez María Andrea
Published: November 2017

The aim of this research is to demonstrate that the movement of the Fonce River, interpreted as erratic in the average values of flow, in the IDEAM hydrological station, located in San Gil, is a perception problem and actually its classification as a Wiener stochastic process, could be a result of the uncertainty margins of the metering devices instead of the erratic nature of the river behavior. At the beginning was collected the average river flow values, then was considered two different cases (with and without uncertainty) and based on that, were established the sample spaces, the events, the sigma algebras, the measurable spaces, the probability spaces, the random variables, and finally the stochastic process itself. This work lets conclude that the apparently erratic movement in the river behavior average flows of the Fonce river could be a result of the high uncertainty levels generated mainly by the mill of the appraisal of the river instead of an own property of the river nature. This will let to establish new stochastic lectures to model the average Fonce river flows dynamic, in which must be précised the mistakes in the metering in a detailed way for each one of the devices used in the measuring, and in each one of the appraisal for the last three decades of monitoring. The work was developed under the research project 1770 ING UMNG 2015, with funding of the Investigation´s office and together with the University of Pamplona.

El control de convencionalidad (CCV)
Authors: Cubides Cárdenas Jaime Alfonso
Published: November 2017

Conventionality Control is a law mechanism of international origin that develops the normative confrontation of the conventional norm with each Country`s seeking to effectively protect Human Rights. This theory has gradually grown, developed and consolidated, identifying diverging and converging positions creating the necessity of proposing a taxonomy for the identification, analysis and systemizing the different scopes that have arose within the law community through an analytic-deductive methodology and a propositive focus. Three thematic lines are proposed: First, a conceptualization and state of the art of CC from three categories; second, based on the first, the selection of two theories that are fighting for the national appreciation margin and the el ius commune interamericano; third and last, the development of a taxonomy where classes and modalities of CC are determined. Rather than closing the discussion this increases the Conventional Dogmatic, a category used for aggregating all studies and research to incentivize the debate around CC and the analysis in national contexts and the role of the states´ agents for its correct and mandatory application.

A healthy environment is a constitutional right, reason why, it involves the protection not only in head of the State, but also of the individuals. In this sense and in order to guarantee its defense, the national legal system has provided mechanisms for citizen participation in environmental matters for the exercise of this obligation, however, at present there is not a proper information and publicity by the authorities Environmental aspects of projects, works or activities carried out in the communities, with which the environment and / or natural resources can be affected; Which prevents the effective participation of partners and prevents possible infringement or involvement; For this reason, this article discloses the mechanisms of citizen participation as a strategy for the proposal of regional alternativesthat guarantee the exercise of participation in environmental matters. We used the descriptive research method, which tries to identify the reality of participation in the defense of the environment, obtaining information from formal sources of law, filing petitions, reviewing files, applying semistructured interviews to non - Governmental organizations of the department of Chocó and intervention in administrative procedures for the process of environmental licenses. It was evidenced that the mechanism most used is the prior consultation and that only relationship in the legislation of mechanisms of participation are not sufficient to help the protection of the environment.

Mandatory Adoption Of IFRS And Earnings Transparency In Korea
Authors: Shin Hoyoung , Oh Hyunmin
Published: November 2017

We investigate the relation between mandatory adoption of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and earnings transparency in Korea. We define transparency of earnings as how well it explains a firm value. Financial reporting mitigates information risks of the firm by lessening information asymmetry between insiders and outsiders of a firm. If accounting information produced after adopting IFRS better explains a firm value, then, it will reduce information asymmetry and information risks of the firm, resulting in enhancement of earnings transparency. We measure earnings transparency based on Barth, Konchitchki, and Landsman et al. (2013) and Cheng and Subramanyam (2008).  

The sample is 2,276 which are listed on Korea stock exchange over 2008-2014. The empirical result shows adopting IFRS is significantly positive with earnings transparency, which means it mitigates information asymmetry, enhancing earnings transparency in Korea.

Our study is distinguished from prior studies because we empirically examine influence of adopting IFRS on earnings transparency of Korea. Our result implies adopting IFRS contributes to higher earnings transparency which helps market participants make decisions.

Many firms use network perspectives in the context of interfirm relationships, an approach that is causing a rapid change in industrial dynamics. However, although most firms are connected with exchange partners, it is difficult to have positive relationships because of the latter is opportunistic behavior. This study considers the factor of industrial dynamics in interfirm relationships. Thus, we investigate the moderation effect of network embeddedness in relational norms on environmental uncertainty and search costs regarding interfirm relationships. Specifically, we identify network relationships and focus on changes of network norms in a focal firm and its exchange partners. Consequently, this study offers several theoretical and managerial implications, and suggests areas of future research regarding interfirm relationships.

There is no uncertainty that Energy plays a very important part in economic growth and development of any country and increasing access to modernized systems of energy is vital to unlocking rapid economic and social development in sub Saharan Africa. Therefore, this paper has empirically examined the causality between energy and economic growth using a consistent data set and methodology for 10 sub-Saharan Africa countries for the period 1990-2012. By applying Augmented Dickey Fuller, co-integration and causality tests the study finds causality running from GDP to energy consumption in Nigeria, in Ghana causality runs from energy consumption to GDP, for Namibia causality runs from GDP to energy consumption but not vice versa and for Cote d’ivore causality runs from gross capital formation to GDP. And no evidence of causality found in Togo, Cameroon, Botswana, Ethiopia, South Africa and Benin.
