THE ROLE ASYMMETRIES IN EXCHANGE RATE REGIMES AND MACROECONOMIC PERFORMANCE: THE CASE OF NIGERIA
Authors:   Department of Economics, Faculty of Social Sciences, Lagos State University, Ojo,  Lagos, Nigeria, Lawal-Arogundade Samod
Published: July 2022

The role of exchange rate in the macroeconomic fundamentals of a country cannot be underestimated but the nonlinear (asymmetric) feature of the exchange rate movements becomes of importance when analyzing its role in macroeconomic performance. Thus, this study, using historical annual time series data from 1970 and 2020, and a nonlinear ARDL model investigated the nexus between exchange rate regimes and the macroeconomic performance in Nigeria. This model allows us to capture that the partial sum of positive exchange rate movements (exchange rate depreciations) and negative exchange rate movements (exchange appreciations). We found the potential exchange rate regime to cause declining inflationary pressure sensitive to whether the exchange rate regime is responding to depreciation or appreciation in its movement. But then, irrespective of whether the exchange rate is depreciating or appreciation, the exchange rate regimes exhibit little or no significant impact on output growth in Nigeria. Specifically, we find that an intermediate exchange rate regime based on exchange rate depreciations is viable for promoting trade surpluses, whereas intermediate exchange rate regime that is due to appreciation of exchange rate tends to cause to trade deficit. More importantly, we found that the magnitude of the role of the nonlinear feature of exchange rate on trade balance is relatively higher when the exchange rate is appreciating.
TRADE, FINANCIAL LIBERALISATION AND CURRENT ACCOUNT BALANCE IN NIGERIA
Authors:   Department of Economics, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba, Ondo State, Nigeria, Kudaisi Bosede Victoria
Published: July 2022

This paper examines the individual and interactive impacts of trade and financial liberalization on Nigeria’s current account balance between 1986 and 2019. An autoregressive distributed lag technique is used to investigate the short- and long-run effects of the de facto measure of trade openness and the de jure measure of financial openness by Chinn-Ito on the current account. The finding suggests that financial liberalization, in particular, has an insignificant negative effect on the current account, whereas trade has a non-significant positive impact in the long-run. The interaction of the variables in the long-run produces significant positive influence on the account. The short-run effects show a positive impact of financial liberalization, whereas the interplay of the variables has a negative impact on the current account. The study concludes that the interaction of trade and financial liberalization is critical in improving the current account balance in Nigeria.
To Transition to a Green Economy: Understanding World CO2 Greenhouse Gas Solutions to Climate Change
Authors: Tamhankar Neil , Dube Smile
Published: July 2022

The importance of shifting to a green economy is clearly established within the UN Social Development Goal (SDG) 13. SDG 13 focuses on combating climate change and its impacts; the UN reports that over 197 parties have signed the UN document. However, the green economy definition is so broad that it encompasses all 17 SDGs. A feasible approach in this paper is to limit our discussion to CO2, which accounts for almost 75% of greenhouse gases. Methane, nitrous oxide (NOx), and fluorinated gases account for 14%, 8%, and 1% respectively. Thus, we use world data from the World Development Indicators to examine the main sources of CO2 from 1960 to 2014. We find the persistence of CO2 over the years, which indicates that most countries have failed to limit the output of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. The conclusions drawn are stronger within an econometric model relating CO2 to GDP by employing an Environmental Kuznets (EKC) model for each region of the world. NOx emissions are also discussed later in the paper as another application of the EKC model.

Authors: Mathews Arun B. , K. Krishna Prasad
Published: July 2022

Purpose: Cellular breakdown in the lungs screening is a cycle that is utilized to recognize the presence of cancer in the lungs in any case. Mostly it occurs among the elderly, especially smokers. Lung infections are lung-affecting illnesses that impede the respiratory mechanism. Cellulose breakdown in the lungs is one of the top causes of mortality in people all over the globe. Early recognition can improve endurance chances. As the world is revolutionizing with so many emerging technologies and one of the most popular technology is Deep Learning (DL) which has shown tremendous development in medical fields. So this paper brings an effective deep learning framework for lung cancer detection.
Objective: To develop a CAD system for efficient lung cancer detection from CT images using a combination of CNN and UNET. For improving accuracy in the proposed system a better feature extraction and feature selection techniques is incorporate, i.e., by using autoencoder and selection based on Kernal function for effective boostings.
Methodology: For this deep learning framework, the following are the stages. (a) Data Collection from the popular repository IQ-OTHNCCD lung cancer dataset which contains CT images of a total of 1198 from 110 CT slice cases, (b) Preprocessing CT images with an alpha-trimmed mean filter and CLAHE for improved enhancement, (c) Segmentation using CNN for segmenting the cancer regions) with the use of an autoencoder, extracting characteristics like area, perimeter, centroid, and mean intensity) feature selection using kernel function and finally f) classification using UNet network.
Findings/Result: In terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, recall, precision, F1-score, detection rate, TPR, FPR, and computation time, experiments are carried out on a range of cutting-edge models, and our suggested model surpasses them all (accuracy:0.95, sensitivity:0.97, specificity:0.98, detection rate:0.94).
Originality: This paper is incorporating 2 neural networks over main stages such as segmentation and classification which eventually improves the quality of the model higher and also these are performed over real-time public medical records which shows the novelty of the model.

Chain Saw Chains: Analyzing Sharpening Options and Practices for Operational Efficiency
Authors: Martin Alexander
Published: July 2022

Background: Chain saws are a primary piece of equipment in arboriculture. Sharpening of chain saw chains is important to the chain saw’s continued efficient cutting power. Analyses of chain saw sharpening procedures can influence efficiency and sustainability in arboriculture. Previous research has examined mechanical aspects and variability of chain saw chains; however, a knowledge gap exists regarding sharpening methods relating to operational efficiency. Methods: Chain saw chains retired from operational service were submitted by 132 arboriculture crews from 47 companies across a 6-month period. The research team reviewed 640 chain saw chains to determine whether the functionable lives of the chain saw chains had been exhausted. If the functionable life was not exhausted, the remaining functional life of the chain was documented. To analyze the accounting cost and economic cost of sharpening versus purchasing new chain saw chains, an economic model was created with variables from chain saw chain manufacturers and geospatial data. Results: Of the submitted chain saw chains, 77% (n = 493) were retired before their functional life was exhausted. The mean number of additional times that the chains could have been sharpened was 4.54 more times (σ = 2.22). Per the economic model, accounting costs of purchasing new chains were 3.64 to 4.96 times more expensive than sharpening chains in-house. The economic cost of purchasing a new chain was generally 1.83 to 3.74 times more expensive than sharpening chains in-house. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the functional service life of chain saw chains are frequently not exhausted and that purchasing chains has higher accounting and economic costs than sharpening chains in-house.

Bakunin y la memoria revolucionaria.
Authors: Straehle Edgar
Published: July 2022

Este trabajo tiene el objetivo de explorar y repensar los usos políticos de la historia del activismo revolucionario del siglo XIX desde una figura como Bakunin. Para ello, se exploran sus poco conocidas reflexiones en torno a la historia y la tradición revolucionaria. En primer lugar, se analiza con detalle la lectura de la revolución de 1848 que, como se muestra, probablemente estaba influida por Marx. Por ello, Bakunin entendió en parte esta revolución como una farsa que le hizo desconfiar de la tradición revolucionaria, pero cuyo estudio resultaba fecundo para extraer importantes aprendizajes del pasado para el presente y, a su vez, comprender las tareas pendientes de los movimientos revolucionarios. Por ello, también se analiza cómo en Bakunin fue muy importante ese vínculo de la lectura de la historia reciente con su comprensión e incluso preparación de la acción revolucionaria. Como también sucedió con Marx, la posición de Bakunin cambió con el advenimiento de una Comuna de París que, aunque imperfecta, consideró como un auténtico referente revolucionario a emular y prolongar.

Published: July 2022

This study investigates how users evaluate recreational areas in Siirt in terms of various variables. The study includes 200 voluntary participants (f:57; m:143) selected from users of such areas via the convenience sampling method. To collect the study's data, the Recreational Areas Scale (RAS), whose validity and reliability studies were conducted by Ulaş and Ayan (2017), was used in terms of the proximity to recreational areas, frequency of use, and various variables. The data was evaluated via the SPSS 26 package program. As a result, depending on the proximity to the recreational area, there was a statistically significant difference in terms of equipment, functionality, diversity and quantitative adequacy of the area, general adequacy of the area, the ability to meet basic needs, and adequacy of sanitation and the mean score (p<0.05). A slight difference was found in terms of the frequency of use of the recreational areas. In addition, it was determined that there was no significant difference in the mean score and all sub-scales depending on the gender variable (p>0.05). As a result, future investments in recreational areas considering various variables are expected to yield more positive results.

Authors: Sureshbabu Maharajan Anbupriya , Shobana Chandrasekar
Published: July 2022

Introduction

The Global prevalence of lumbar pain during pregnancy is reported a range from 24% to 90% where pregnant women experience lumbar pain as the pregnancy advances (from a later stage of the second trimester). Only limited studies have emphasized the importance of pelvic tilt exercises for lumbar pain during pregnancy. Thereby our aim is to find the immediate and short-term effect of sitting and standing pelvic tilt exercise on lumbar pain during pregnancy.

Methods

An experimental study of pre and post type done on 40 pregnant women selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided into an experimental group (group A) and the control group (group B). Each group consists of 20 subjects. The experimental group was treated with sitting and standing pelvic tilt exercise along with Kinesiotaping, whereas the Control group with Kinesiotaping alone.

Results

Immediate effect and short-term effect on lumbar pain were statistically significant in the experimental group (p ≤ 0.01) than the control group. Immediate effect and short term effect on functional disability were not statistically significant between the experimental group (24.28%) and the control group (20.81%) at (p > 0.05).

Conclusions

It is concluded that pelvic tilt exercise in sitting and standing positions proved to be an effective treatment for lumbar pain during pregnancy.

Authors: El-Bandrawy Asmaa M. , Ghareeb Hassan O.
Published: July 2022

Introduction

Gestational hypertension is a prevalent condition, occurring in 10% of pregnancies. Physical exercise has a valuable effect on lowering blood pressure. Device-guided breathing is a beneficial strategy for treating high blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to compare aerobic exercise vs. device-guided breathing in gestational hypertension.

Methods

The study included 90 singleton pregnant women (at the 21st week of gestation) diagnosed with gestational hypertension. They were randomly divided into 3 groups. The aerobic exercise group (n = 30) received aerobic exercise until the 36th week of gestation. The device-guided breathing group (n = 30) received device-guided breathing until the 36th week of gestation. The third group was a control group. All groups received the same antihypertensive medications. They were assessed before and after treatment with a mercury column sphygmomanometer to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Results

All groups showed a significant reduction in their systolic and diastolic blood pressure values after the end of the training program. However, the comparison with the corresponding values measured before treatment revealed that the participants in the device-guided breathing group exhibited a greater reduction in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values than those in the aerobic exercise and control groups.

Conclusions

Device-guided breathing is more effective than aerobic exercise in decreasing systolic and diastolic blood pressure in gestational hypertensive women.

Pandemos es un grupo híbrido, atravesado por la inquietud de enfrentar los desafíos del mundo contemporáneo en el contexto de la pandemia. Discutiendo los modos en los que la lógica del capital opera en los campos en los que desarrollan sus actividades, se proponen intervenir con investigaciones y creaciones que no sólo en sus contenidos sino, sobre todo, en sus propias modalidades construyan vínculos que resistan a sus efectos más negativos. Así, en este texto que dialoga con la tradición de los manifiestos como estrategia para hacer visible las indagaciones de los grupos críticos, asumen el desafío de expresar las distintas voces que configuran puntos de vista simultáneos sobre la pregunta que se formula: “¿Qué es Pandemos?”. Por ello, la respuesta no emerge tanto en su literalidad, como en las cesuras que mantienen unida su potencia sin anular las singularidades que la constituyen.
Fusiones entre feminismo y ambiente: Pedagogías feministas decoloniales para una Ley Integral de Educación Ambiental en Argentina.

La Ley de Educación Ambiental en Argentina llega tras una sostenida movilización de colectivos en defensa del medio ambiente y de los territorios de vida que vienen siendo amenazados en función de los incendios forestales en extensos conglomerados y en las prácticas corrientes vinculadas a políticas extractivistas. El denominado “giro corporal-afectivo” como referente epistémico del feminismo del Sur, que asume la potencia del territorio-cuerpo, viene produciendo efectos importantes en los modos de comprender y, al mismo tiempo, en la potenciación de las expresiones colectivas, gramáticas, narrativas, pedagogías y estéticas que provocan nuevos sentidos. Esta perspectiva, interpela indefectiblemente el concepto de ciencia y de verdad, la universalidad de los conocimientos, así como los procesos de construcción, justificación y validación de los mismos. ¿Qué alumbramientos nuevos nos ofrecen los feminismos con sus pedagogías para una genuina Ley Integral de Educación Ambiental en Argentina?
Reseña Maria Lugones: Una senti-pensante trashumante
Authors: Sosa Ruth
Published: July 2022

Esta póstuma pieza resonante y singular de María Lugones de reciente aparición en la que se reúnen parte de sus ensayos publicados entre 1987 y 1998, que contó con la traducción de Camilo Porta Massuco y con la curaduría de su entrañable sobrina, amiga y discípula Gabriela Veronelli, constituye un material invaluable para pensarnos, vivirnos, acuerparnos, más allá de la teoría de las intersecciones.María Lugones es pensante activa de profundidades, de micropolíticas de deseos y de dimensiones subterráneas. Cala profundo a modo de un incisivo bisturí que remueve zonas sensibles y dolientes para componer una filosofía centrada en la resistencia de las múltiples opresiones que se hallan imbricadas. Esas opresiones que fusionan raza, género, sexualidad, clase, entrama subalternidades y también subalternatividades para componer y conjugar coaliciones. Es una teorización vívida desde la praxis sociopolítica de un feminismo genuinamente decolonial, situado en un cuerpo profundamente afectado por una historia de prejuicios y de experiencias marcadas por violencias que la autora rememora ofreciendo escenas de su vida que son estremecedoras. Su escritura, que por veces emana de pensamientos en imágenes y su intrepidez, son un manifiesto de que aprender, enseñar y comunicar la resistencia desborda toda palabra.

Este estudio muestra los resultados del análisis de detección de Funcionamiento Diferencial de Ítems (DIF, por sus siglas en inglés) de los ítems de la evaluación Ser Bachiller del ciclo Costa, que se aplicó en 2020 a bachilleres y aspirantes a ingresar a las universidades públicas de Ecuador. Se utilizó el método de Mantel-Haenszel, método muy conocido y usado por el Educational Testing Service. Se exploró la presencia de DIF a partir de cuatro ejes de análisis: sexo del sustentante, área de asentamiento, grupo de autoidentificación étnica y tipo de escolaridad. Se concluye que los ítems del Ser bachiller Costa 2020 no se encuentran afectadas por funcionamiento diferencial. Esto apoya la hipótesis de que los reactivos de las pruebas aplicadas por el Instituto Nacional de Evaluación Educativa (Ineval) no favorecen o perjudican a determinados grupos poblacionales específicos, por lo cual los diferentes grupos poblacionales evaluados no se ven afectados de ninguna manera por el diseño de la evaluación Ser Bachiller.

Published: July 2022

Objective. To determine the attitude of world religions to surrogacy, to analyze relevant regulatory legal acts of a number of European countries, to identify the main problems associated with the practice of surrogacy.Materials and methods. To achieve the above objective, we analyzed up-to-date literary sources and studied regulatory legal acts of several European countries.

Results. The attitude of world religions to surrogacy has been analyzed. The legal acts regulating the concerns in relation to surrogacy in different countries of the world have been presented. The main problems associated with the practice of surrogacy have been outlined.Conclusion. The social value of surrogacy as a way of procreation is obvious. In conditions of low life expectancy, increasing number of infertile marriages, population aging in a number of countries in the world, this method of reproduction allows preventing adverse demographics. When it comes to commercial contract, the institution of surrogacy solves economic problems of a certain category of population.High costs of medical manipulations, legal aspects, and religious problems of procreation using the method of surrogacy are not obstacles to the further development of this type of reproductive techniques.

Published: July 2022

Objective. Based on the study of clinical and laboratory parameters, to identify groups of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection who need antiviral therapy, and to evaluate the effectiveness of tenofovir treatment.Materials and methods. The study group included 234 patients with various forms of chronic HBV infection. Сlinical data, blood laboratory parameters (biochemical blood test, complete blood count, coagulogram, serum HBV DNA level), liver fibrosis stage were studied.Results. Currently, chronic HBV infection is more common in the age group of 30-39 years (35.5%), and is more prevalent in males (73.1%). Advanced liver fibrosis (stage F2 and higher) was found in 38.4% of patients, and liver cirrhosis – in 19.8%. Patients were predominantly HBeAg-negative (86.8%), they had lower serum aminotransferase levels (p=0.03) and DNA HBV viral load (p<0.001) as compared with HBeAg-positive ones. HBsAg-negative (occult) chronic HBV infection is detected in 1.3% patients and may occur with progressing liver disease.Conclusion. The clinical and laboratory characteristics of the patients with chronic HBV infection have been presented, indications for antiviral therapy in 48.7% of the patients have been determined. Antiviral tenofovir therapy allows to achieve a biochemical and virological response in most patients, but due to its indefinite duration and high cost, the question of adherence to the therapy is crucial.

Objective. To evaluate the possibility of using X-ray radiation to model dystrophic lesions of the myotendinous junction in biological models (rats).Materials and methods. The objects of the study were model animals (6 rats). The animals were irradiated in the 10 Gy and 20 Gy modes using the biological irradiation unit X-RAD 320 Precision X-ray Inc in doses of 10 and 20 Gy. The morphological examination of the hind limbs of the rats after exposure to ionizing radiation was carried out according to the standard scheme. Sonography was performed on an expert class Mindrey DС-80 ultrasound scanner (a linear transducer with an operating frequency of 18-20 MHz was used).Results. А parallelism has been found between histological, immunohistochemical and sonographic changes in radiation-induced damage to the myotendinous junction (these changes are short-term in nature in the tendon part and long-term in the muscle part, while the severity of the changes is predetermined by the absorbed dose, which makes it possible to reproduce any stages of the pathological continuum).Conclusion. Тhe proposed model of radiation-induced damage to the myotendinous junction allows reproducing a histological and sonographic pattern corresponding to the subacute and chronic phase of the specified pathological process without traumatic effects on the muscle and tendon.

Anemia is a clinical and hematological syndrome which is one of the most common diseases in the world. The clinical manifestations of anemia syndrome can be caused by both anemia itself and various manifestations of hypoxia and hypercapnia. Due to the similarity of the clinical manifestations, doctors of various specialties face a difficult task of the differential diagnosis of anemias and the selection of therapeutic tactics.The article presents a clinical case of anemia syndrome in a patient with comorbid pathology and latent vascular malformation. The presence of comorbid diseases in the patient especially those requiring anticoagulant and antithrombotic therapy often leads to the development of anemia, difficulties in diagnosis and prescription for etiotropic treatment. As a rule, in such patients, anemia syndrome has a mixed cause. It often consists of the combination of anemia of chronic disease with iron deficiency or of vitamin B12-deficient anemia and acute or chronic posthemorrhagic anemia.

Perfil dos padres novos no Brasil
Authors: Brighenti Agenor
Published: July 2022

O texto repercute alguns resultados de uma pesquisa-de-campo em busca do perfil dos «padres novos» no Brasil, levada a cabo nas cinco regiões do país, em três dioceses de cada uma delas, tendo como amostras presbíteros, leigos/as, jovens, seminaristas e religiosas. Os dados revelam a configuração de duas perspectivas sociopastorais no seio do catolicismo brasileiro – a perspectiva «evangelização/libertação», alinhada à renovação do Vaticano II e da tradição eclesial libertadora da Igreja na América Latina, e – a perspectiva «institucional/carismática» que toma distância delas, reflexo do gradativo processo de involução eclesial, que se instaurou na Igreja nas três décadas que precederam o atual pontificado.

A TAS2R38 keserű íz érzékeléséért felelős receptor-gén polimorfizmusai bimodális receptor választ váltanak ki a populációban a feniltiokarbamid, illetve a 6-n-propiltiouracil érzékelése során. A feniltiokarbamiddal és a 6-n-propiltiouracillal szembeni érzékenység genetikai eltérései irodalmi adatok alapján befolyásolhatják a testösszetételt, az élelmiszer preferenciákat és az élelmiszerek fogyasztási gyakoriságát. Hazánkban eddig ezeknek a faktoroknak az együttes vizsgálatával kapcsolatban még nem született publikáció. Jelen kutatás célja összefüggések keresése a feniltiokarbamid taster státusz és a testösszetétel, valamint a különböző keserű ízű élelmiszerek fogyasztási gyakorisága között. A vizsgálat során elvégeztük a résztvevők taster státusz felmérését (n = 170), bioelektromos impedancia alapú testösszetétel-meghatározását (n = 96). A résztvevők ezen túlmenően kitöltöttek egy keserű élelmiszerekre vonatkozó fogyasztási gyakorisági kérdőívet (n = 170). Az adatelemzéshez leíró statisztikai módszereket, kereszttábla-elemzést, többszörös korrespondencia-analízist (Multiple Correspondence Analysis), valamint Mann-Whitney próbát használtunk, 5%-os szignifikanciaszinten. A taster és non-taster kategóriák arányai megegyeznek a nemzetközi szakirodalom-ban közölt adatokkal (rendre 70%/30%). A taster státusz és a többi vizsgált paraméter között nem adódott szignifikáns összefüggés, azonban a többszörös korrespondencia analízis alapján a nemzetközi szakirodalommal egybevágó tendenciák figyelhetők meg. A nemek és a testösszetétel, valamint az élelmiszerpreferenciák egyes változói között szignifikáns összefüggés mutatható ki. A szakirodalmi adatok, és saját eredményeink alapján nem zárható ki, hogy összefüggés áll fenn a genotípus és a testösszetétel, valamint az élelmiszerválasztás között. További, nagymintás, reprezentatív kutatások eredményei szükségesek a feltételezések igazolásához.
