Minimum wage and collective bargaining shocks: a narrative database for advanced economies
Authors: Afonso António , Jalles João Tovar , Venter Zoe
Published: July 2023

This paper presents and describes a new database of major minimum wage and collective bargaining (CB) shocks covering 26 advanced economies over the period 1970–2020. The main advantage of this dataset is the precise identification of the nature and date of major shocks, which is valuable in many empirical applications. Based on the dataset, we observe that major changes in minimum wages have been more frequent than in CB in the last decades, and the majority of these were implemented during the 1980s and 1990s. In our empirical application, we find that minimum wage policy reductions have a medium-run positive impact on labor productivity and they lead to a fall in the unemployment rate. CB policy liberalizations do not seem to affect either productivity or capital formation, but they have a clear medium-term effect on the labor market. Moreover, CB policy liberalizations are characterized by a greater sensitivity to the prevailing business cycle conditions at the time of the shock (vis-à-vis minimum wage reforms).

Published: July 2023

The current research paper presents a design of a mutually coupled cascode Common Gate Common Source (CG-CS) Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) using current reuse technique. The proposed design provides a significant improvement in the gain and noise performance of the LNA, while also reducing power consumption. Mutually coupled inductors help in reducing the size of the circuit while transformer connected at the output provide output impedance matching. Proposed LNA simulated for the 4–14 GHz RF frequency. Mathematical analysis of proposed LNA has been analyzed using the small signal model henceforth input impedance; gain and Noise Figure (NF) have been derived from it. The design and simulation results show that the proposed LNA design with current reuse technique achieved a maximum gain of 17.87 dB, minimum NF of 5.45 dB, and input reflection coefficient less than –10 dB for the 10 GHz bandwidth. These results indicate a significant improvement in the overall performance of the LNA compared to conventional designs as Figure of Merit (FoM) is 17.34.

Published: July 2023

Rituximab, a murine-human chimeric monoclonal antibody targeting CD20-positive B lymphocytes, has established itself as an effective and relatively safe biologic therapy for patients with refractory rheumatoid arthritis. Most common side effects associated with its use include infusion related reactions and cytopenia. Rare adverse effects such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) have also been reported. Diagnosis of PRES following rituximab treatment requires a high index of suspicion correlated with clinical and radiological features in individuals at risk. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is associated with a favorable prognosis. We present a case of a young man who developed PRES following rituximab administration on account of active rheumatoid arthritis. Timely diagnosis and prompt treatment ensured his uneventful recovery without residual neurological deficit.

Objective

Sexual abuse (SA) is known for its effects on brain structures in adolescents. We aimed to explore if SA has any effect on limbic and prefrontal cortex (PFC) structures. We hypothesized that children with SA would have a thinner PFC with larger amygdala and hippocampus that lead to aberrations in threat detection, orientation and response circuit; that would be highly adaptive in a dangerous environment in the short term.

Method

We included 57 SA and 33 healthy control (HC) female participants. In addition to psychiatric evaluation, we acquired 3 T MR images from all participants. We compared prefrontal cortical thicknesses, hippocampus and amygdala volumes between groups.

Results

The age and education levels of study groups were matched, however, IQ scores and socioeconomic status (SES) scores of the SA group were lower than the controls. Total CTQ scores of the SA group were higher than the HC. Nevertheless, the mean value of sexual abuse scores was above the cut-off scores only for the SA participants. SA participants had larger right and left hippocampus and right amygdala volumes than the controls. SA group had reduced inferior frontal gyrus cortical thickness (T=3.5, p<0.01, cluster size=694 mm2, x=51 y=-30 z=6) than HC group. None of the structural findings were correlated with total or sexual abuse CTQ scores.

Conclusion

Children with SA history has structural abnormalities in threat detection, orientation and response circuit. SA victims with no psychiatric diagnosis have a high probability of psychiatric problems with a possible contribution of these aberrations. SA cases that do not have a diagnosis must not be overlooked as they may have structural changes in emotion related brain regions. Careful follow-up is needed for all of all SA cases.

Filosofia africana ubuntu na interface do direito universal à educação, ensino público e escola inclusiva
Authors: Gonçalves Ana Sofia
Published: July 2023

A consagração da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos reivindica, não só o direito à Educação, como também a uma escolarização acessível e de concretização digna para todos. Contudo, tal direito não foi ainda assegurado a todos. Aliás, não basta legislar para que a escola pública garanta o acesso e a participação de todos, quando na realidade as práticas e condições de sucesso não existem efetivamente para todo o universo escolar. Em Portugal, tais premissas são aprofundadas nos Decretos-Lei nº 54 e nº 55 (2018), que assentam no princípio de clarificar a não coincidência entre Inclusão e Educação Especial, sendo esta última apenas uma parte da primeira e não a sua totalidade. Assim, a Escola Inclusiva clama por uma reestruturação organizacional, cultural e pedagógica. Poderemos afirmar que o acesso a uma cultura e prática inclusiva se encontra iminente? Há quem defenda que a filosofia africana ubuntu, marcada pela cosmovisão do homem em busca da realização da comunidade, pode servir-nos de guia para esse propósito.  Não sendo a escola uma estrutura estática, mas estando assolada pelas correntes do neoliberalismo, questionamo-nos: como poderia a filosofia africana ubuntu servir de horizonte de referência para a transformação cultural da Escola, para que aprofunde a Inclusão?
orçamento participativo das escolas
Authors: Abrantes Pedro
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo enquadra e discute, num primeiro momento, o Orçamento Participativo das Escolas, um programa público levado a cabo em Portugal desde 2017, à luz dos estudos que têm vindo a acompanhar a aplicação desta metodologia, a nível internacional, assim como de investigação educacional de fundo sobre a relação entre Escola Pública e Democracia. Num segundo momento, o artigo apresenta alguns dos resultados da 5.ª edição desta iniciativa (2021), constatando-se que, mesmo num período de pandemia, o programa envolveu centenas de escolas, nas quais os estudantes elaboraram propostas de melhoria e participaram nas votações. Observa-se um maior impacto nas regiões Norte e Centro, bem como no 3.º ciclo do ensino básico. Analisam-se as propostas dos estudantes, constatando-se um predomínio das orientadas para o bem-estar e as sociabilidades, mas com uma expressão relevante das que visam um reforço das atividades físicas e desportivas, o apetrechamento digital, a sustentabilidade ambiental ou a inovação educativa. Argumenta-se que este programa, desde que enquadrado no projeto educativo e práticas pedagógicas, tem potencial para promover a vida democrática, mas a sua concretização desarticulada e distorcida pode conduzir a um engodo democrático e a um aumento das desigualdades. Conclui-se com pistas para a investigação e intervenção.

O consumo de bebidas alcoólicas, principalmente em jovens, acarreta uma série de efeitos negativos no sistema cardiovascular. Tal uso exacerbado e precoce pode predispor à calcificações coronarianas, aumento na pressão arterial, arritmias cardíacas e insuficiências coronarianas à longo prazo. Em contrapartida, a prática de atividades físicas é uma grande aliada na saúde cardiovascular. Assim, objetiva-se com o presente estudo associar o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas e a prática de atividade física com fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares em estudantes universitários. É um estudo observacional transversal. Foram coletados dados de consumo de bebidas alcoólicas (questionário AUDIT), nível de atividade física (IPAQ), índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência de cintura (CC), relação cintura quadril (RCQ), pressão arterial sistêmica e histórico de tabagismo. A comparação entre os grupos realizada pelo teste t-Student ou Mann-Whitney. A correlação entre as variáveis pelo Coeficiente de Spearman. Dessa forma, os resultados encontrados foram que os estudantes universitários que consumiam bebida alcóolica e que tiveram risco de dependência (n=40) tiveram maior IMC (Δ= +1,18kg/m2, p=0,049), CC (Δ=+5,77cm, p=0,005) e RCQ (Δ=+0,003, p=0,027). O score da dieta (Δ=+6,39, p=0,056) do grupo ativo foi maior em relação ao sedentário.  Houve correlação direta do score do questionário AUDIT com tabagismo (p<0,001), IMC (p=0,010), CC (p=0,005), RCQ (0,045) e atividade física vigorosa (p=0,027) e, desta com tabagismo (p=0,021).

Characteristics of Separation-Bubble Formation on Finite Circular Cylinder in Critical Transition Range
Authors: Lai Yi-Hui , Miau Jiun-Jih , Zhung Guang-Ting , Tsai Ming-Che , Wu Ji-Ci
Published: July 2023

Experiments were conducted for three finite circular cylinder models for which the aspect ratios were two, three and four, respectively, in the critical transition range. Oil-film flow visualization was performed at Reynolds numbers at the initiation of the critical transition range, which unveiled the three-dimensionality and nonstationarity of multiple separation lines on each of the model surfaces due to intermittent formation of a separation bubble. Moreover, based on the time-averaged pressure coefficients obtained at three heights on each of the models, it was seen that the symmetry of flow varied with Reynolds number. A modified peak–valley method was proposed to identify the intermittent events of separation-bubble formation. By this method, pronounced variations in the real-time signals due to intermittent formation of the separation bubble were identified, which were referred as to the characteristic events. Interesting findings included that the average normalized timescales of the characteristic events fell within 0.1 and 0.6, whereas the average normalized timescales obtained from the real-time traces of the lift coefficient were mostly around 0.08. The difference between these is discussed in this paper.
From Nyakuimba to Thiyeni: An Onomastic Survey of the Musikavanhu Dynasty in Dondo
Authors: Maganga Allan Tapiwa , Pfukwa Charles
Published: July 2023

This article explores the evolution of the Musikavanhu dynasty, a clan within the Ndau-speaking people in the southern part of the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe. It first discusses the literature that influences the paper, and then it examines some theoretical perspectives in Afrocentricity and onomastics, which guide the rest of the discussion. The article traces how one Ndau patriarch, called Nyakuimba, set up his polity in present-day Chipinge and the middle Save area. The article then unravels the genealogy of the Musikavanhu chiefs from Nyakuimba to the current chief. The paper also explores colonial implications that have far-reaching effects on current succession issues within the Musikavanhu dynasty. We argue that such documentation and analysis of communities (that have previously been kept at the margins by choice or by circumstance) should be seen as part of the wider effort to re-centre African epistemologies and the perceptions of its historical and cultural spaces.

Published: July 2023

В статье современная российская экономика характеризуется как пространство военных действий, которое должно быть оперативно реструктуризировано для решения военных задач. Цель работы ‒ сформулировать исходные экономико-теоретические позиции такой реструктуризации. Автор обращает внимание, что слабыми местами России являются финансовые рынки и информатика, для укрепления которых рекомендован ряд мер, в частности, по укреплению рубля. Предложена также научно-практическая новация: в ответ на финансовые санкции недружественных государств запустить в международный оборот параллельный доллар (и другие аналоги валют враждебных государств) – в рамках российских активов, подвергнутых конфискации, – солидарно с другими государствами, оказавшимися под западными санкциями.

In the article, the modern Russian economy is characterized as a space of military operations, which must be promptly restructured to solve military tasks. Attention is drawn to the fact that its weak points are financial markets and informatics, to strengthen which a number of measures are proposed, in particular, to strengthen the ruble. In response to the financial sanctions of unfriendly states, according to the author, it is advisable to launch a parallel dollar (and other analogues of the currencies of hostile states) into international circulation – within the framework of Russian assets that have been confiscated – in solidarity with other states that have found themselves under western sanctions.

La relevancia de la tecnología digital para combatir el aislamiento, distribuir medidas preventivas y ayudar a los sistemas económicos comenzó a construirse desde la instalación de las primeras medidas sanitarias para el covid 19. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la capacidad de América Latina para cumplir este reto. Las conclusiones son las siguientes: El ecosistema digital de América Latina se encuentra en un grado de desarrollo intermedio, lo que le permite paliar en cierta medida las consecuencias de la epidemia. Por otra parte, el contraste rural/urbano muestra una importante marginación digital. La brecha digital impide a segmentos bajos de la población recibir información, accesar a recursos educativos para mejorar el rendimiento escolar o comprar cosas por Internet. La brecha digital se ve agravada por el hecho de que la mayoría de los hogares latinoamericanos sólo utilizan Internet para la comunicación. La resiliencia digital de los hogares (obtenido a partir del uso de Internet para descargar apps, compras online y utilizar fintech). También sugiere una falta de adopción de la tecnología, pero más bien una falta de integración tecnológica en los procesos de fabricación, especialmente en las redes de suministro. La proporción de la mano de obra que puede teletrabajar se suma a la desorganización del mercado laboral en COVID-19.

Published: July 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the long-run and short-run impact of demographic structure and human capital on the economic growth of Turkey.
 
Theoretical framework: The shift in demographic dividend which witness shifts in age structures, have led to positive prospects, which have resulted in the decline in rate of births leading to a decline in a country’s young dependent group, and subsequently caused an increase in the percentage of the workforce working-age numbers. In the past few decades, there has been a noticeable substantial shift in the population structure with regard to the percentage of the cohort of working age population in Turkey that could have consequences on the economy.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: The annual time series data of Turkey for the time period 1990 to 2020 was employed through the utilization of Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to investigate the association between the demographic structure, human capital and economic growth.
 
Findings: The results revealed that variations in the age structure, as manifested by the variations in the age cohorts of the working-age population, possess substantial favorable impacts on economic growth in the short and long run. The research also revealed that human capital impacts on economic growth in a positive way in the short run.
 
Research, practical & social implications: The study revealed that there is a substantial shift in the population fabric in Turkey. The ongoing changes that have transpired relatively rapidly might have significant economic consequences for the country in the future. Hence, it is therefore recommended that Turkey acquire demographic and economic measures which will stimulate the population to be intensively involved in the workforce. This is to garner the gains of demographic and educational returns as a major method towards the attainment of a high level of economic growth.
 
Originality/Value: This study utilizes working age population more broadly than most of the literature, using disaggregated age groups based on age. The key motivation for this is to ascertain the role of each age group, and its effect on economic growth.

The Use of Political Narratives to Legitimise Domination and Exclusion: A Critical Analysis Relating to Asylum Seekers in post-Brexit United Kingdom
Authors:   , Haydock James
Published: July 2023

Domination, as both an idea and a process, is constantly changing. With regard to state actions, domination was once considered only in terms of violent acts of control. However, domination also emerges through more covert forms of state-induced power and control. One particular tactic of domination relates to the management and exclusion of certain groups that state agencies determine to be unwanted or threatening. In the face of perceived ‘existential threats’, states have begun to create, reinforce and rationalise exclusion through narratives of state protectionism. Exclusionary policies and practices are even determined as necessary under the language of human rights, a point that diminishes the impact and understanding of rights as inclusionary principles for all.

This thesis considers domination in relation to UK political responses to asylum seekers, in the wake of the ‘Brexit’ deal. Using critical narrative and thematic analysis of parliamentary debates in the post-Brexit era (2020-2022), the work demonstrates how the Conservative Government set the narrative ground for a raft of policies and institutional reforms aimed at protecting the nation from asylum seekers who embodied a perceived threat to the nation. In doing so, political narratives created, reinforced, and rationalised state domination and protectionism. More specifically, this thesis demonstrates how human rights are used to sustain state-induced exclusion over an already vulnerable group. The result is that human rights, while initially conceived as a way of limiting state power, are now a tool used by dominant powers to control, exclude and harm certain groups who are deemed ‘illegitimate’ on opaque security, bureaucratic, social, economic and morality grounds.

Authors: Kotova I. Yu.
Published: July 2023

The given paper looks at the Bring-Your-Own-Device approach, a constituent concept of mobile learning. Despite the numerous advantages of BYOD in various educational contexts, the integration of mobile technologies in foreign language classes in non-language universities presents significant challenges. This paper examines certain problems related to the use of BYOD in foreign language classes at non-language universities and proposes a set of criteria for selecting the most effective mobile applications. In addition, practical aspects of implementing BYOD in the context of foreign language learning are considered. Analysis of research results shows that for successful implementation of mobile learning, the task of selecting mobile applications should be based on learning objectives and conform to the concept of BYOD. Furthermore, ensuring appropriate support for BYOD can significantly improve the quality of the learning process and help develop the skills and competencies of students necessary for their future careers.

Authors: Melnichuk M. V. , Belogash M. A.
Published: July 2023

The article deals with the most important pedagogical problems of increasing the involvement of students in the educational process. The authors aim to study the international theoretical and practical experience of increasing students’ involvement and analyze the complexity of the dynamic interaction between the students and the educational environment in class from the point of view of various types of involvement. To study the theoretical and practical materials, the authors use a combination of general scientific analytical, synthetic, and inductive-deductive approaches. The results of the study showed that the behavioral, academic, emotional, and cognitive involvement of students in learning a foreign language depends on various factors of the educational environment, including the choice of conceptual approaches to teaching, the level of students’ linguistic and communicative competences. The authors come to the conclusion that students’ involvement in the educational process in higher education reflects the effectiveness of the academic, social, and professional orientation of education, which contributes to academic success and professional self-realization of students.
