Does Higher Trust Mean Better Compliance? Covid-19 Evidence from Urban Bangladesh
Authors: Uddin Mohammad Riaz , Murshed Rubaiya , Iqbal Md. Zabid
Published: August 2023

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated many problems that were inherent in our societies, e.g., poverty, inequality, and food shortages, to name a few. The pandemic has also brought to the surface other problems, some of which are valid in the context of the coronavirus: public panic, difficulty in getting the public to comply with issued guidelines, and the struggle to keep information separate from rumours. In such situations of uncertainty, it is crucial to be able to provide guidance for the public to follow, and equally important that the public believes the communication. So, it matters who the public trusts as a source of information. This paper is based on the premise that public trust in information sources translates into public compliance with issued guidelines to make communication count. Thus, we ask whether there is any association between peoples’ most trusted information source, and most followed information source, with their compliance, which we measure through a compliance score that we calculate. Using a sample of respondents that is urban-representative of Bangladesh, this paper finds that people who mostly trust international media, academicians, political leaders, and the World Health Organization are more compliant with issued guidelines. In contrast, people who mostly follow the police as an information source are less compliant. Based on the findings, the paper suggests that the increased involvement of certain trusted information sources is better than other sources in designing and implementing effective communication strategies during a pandemic in Bangladesh.
Factors Affecting the Adoption of Stress-Tolerant Rice Varieties: Evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Khanam Taznoore Samina
Published: August 2023

Climate change, through exposure to submergence, salinity, and droughts, affects crop production and leads to food insecurity, particularly in developing countries. Various climate-stress–tolerant rice varieties have been developed in many countries in the world to mitigate climate-related production losses. Despite the benefits of stress-tolerant rice varieties (STRVs), adoption rates are still low. This paper uses panel data from Bangladesh to analyse the factors influencing the adoption of STRVs. A random-effects probit model with the Mundlak approach is used to control for the farmer- and plot-level heterogeneities and to avoid the incidental parameters problem. The study finds that smallholder farmers are more inclined to adopt STRVs, proving that this technology is related to a type of adaptation in the form of adoption. The main drivers for adopting STRVs are information and knowledge transferred by extension workers, sharing knowledge by membership in an organisation, and learning from peers. Policy measures such as providing capacity enhancement activities, strengthening social capacity and local institutions, and implementing a site-specific policy are suggested to encourage the adoption of STRVs in climate-stress-prone areas.

Related Party Transactions
Authors: Neubauer Lisa
Published: August 2023

Austrian as well as German company law exhibit only punctual regulation of Related Party Transactions. With the implementation of the second shareholder rights directive there are now e.g. provisions requiring board approval or disclosure of specific Related Party Transactions, applying only to a small fraction of transactions. Delaware on the contrary has comprehensive case law on Related Party Transactions. It seems the dangers of Related Party Transactions, i.e. conflicts of interest in the board and exploitation of the corporation and its shareholders have been pertinent in Delaware long before the European legislator saw the need for increased regulation. However, the legal strategies used to regulate Related Party Transactions in all three jurisdictions are similar.

Authors: Pegu Julie , Garg Prerna , Johri Tripti , Mittal Shanu , Arora Surbhi , Dubey Suneeta
Published: August 2023

Secondary glaucoma has increased exponentially in recent times. This is partially due to the increase in complex eye surgeries like corneal transplantation and vitreoretinal surgery and partly due to the increase in life style related diseases like diabetes causing an increase in the prevalence of neovascular glaucoma. The other leading causes of secondary glaucoma are post-trauma, post-cataract surgery, and lens-induced glaucoma. Secondary glaucoma is an important cause of visual morbidity. The management of this complex glaucoma is difficult as they are mostly intractable and do not respond to anti-glaucoma medications. Many patients who are not managed by medical management may require surgical intervention along with vigilant control of their primary pathology. This course would address the stepwise approach to the management of these glaucomas and the tips and tricks to tackle the nuances during management. This chapter would specifically address the management of neovascular glaucoma, Post-PK glaucoma, lens-induced glaucoma, traumatic glaucoma, and uveitic glaucoma.

Published: August 2023

Infective endocarditis is a rare but life-threatening disease that has a major impact on healthcare resources. It is heterogeneous in etiology, clinical manifestations, and course. The timing of surgery remains a topic of debate. Some authors promote an early surgical approach to improve the outcomes. There are different points of view between American and European guidelines regarding the relative priority of surgery over medical treatment. Anyway, multidisciplinary teams and multimodality strategies are advocated in order to optimize the treatment according to the individual needs of the patients. The early surgical approach may represent a valuable treatment option for high-risk patients. In this chapter, we discuss the latest evidence on surgical approaches, potential pitfalls, and the controversial issues in the contemporary practice of infective endocarditis.
New Studies on the Gaits Displayed by Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene Fossil Horse Trackways
Authors: Renders Elise , Vincelette Alan
Published: August 2023

The authors here apply a refined methodology to determine the gaits of fossil equids. Miocene trackways of Cremohipparion near Jumilla, Spain, contain three sets of tracks of equids trotting at around 2.9–3.4 m/s, crossed by another three sets of tracks of perhaps younger equids at play galloping at around 5.2–5.6 m/s. Other Miocene trackways include three sets of Hippotherium near Osoppo, Italy, galloping at around 6.2–6.5 m/s, and one of Scaphohippus from Barstow, California, in the United States, likely engaged in a rack (or less likely a trot) at 2.1 m/s. Pliocene trackways include one Hipparion near Elche, Spain, trotting at around 3.5 m/s, and three trackways of Eurygnathohippus from Laetoli, Tanzania, of equids racking (with one perhaps engaged in a running walk) at around 2.1–3.1 m/s, including tracks of what is likely a foal being supervised by its mare. Finally, a Pleistocene trackway of Equus near Cardston, Alberta, Canada, shows a horse in a gallop at around 6.6 m/s. Hence, Miocene to Pleistocene fossil trackways reveal that equids in the past possessed standard gaits (trot, gallop) as well as alternative lateral gaits (rack), and had similar herding behaviors found in modern horses today.

Published: August 2023

Probiotics are living microorganisms that induce health benefits and advantages on the host, especially when it is used in an adequate amount. Over the years, different definitions of probiotics are established based on their mechanisms, site of action, delivery format, method, or host. As probiotics have various effects, they are used in different areas and one of them is dentistry. Approximately 150 species of yeast are referred to as Candida. Normally, Candida lives without causing harm to its environment which in the most cases is the mucus membranes of various parts of the body, including the ears, eyes, gastrointestinal tract, mouth, nose, reproductive organs, sinuses, skin, stool, and vagina. These mucus membranes are known as beneficial flora and the yeast component in the flora performs important functions in the human body. However, an overgrowth of Candida albicans results from an imbalance in the body’s normal flora. The term is Candidiasis or Thrush. Most common way to treat this condition is by using Nystatin solution. According to new studies, probiotic solutions can be used to reduce the number of Candida albicans adherence and thereby treat Candidiasis or Thrush. We aim to discuss the actual role of probiotic solutions in oral cavity and treatment of Candidiasis.

Published: August 2023

Antioxidants are the body’s defensive mechanism against reactive oxygen species damage, which is typically caused by the different physiological activities that take place within the body. These antioxidants can be obtained from a variety of sources, including the body’s own endogenous antioxidants and exogenous dietary sources. Generally, food items and several types of medicinal plants are considered as the sources of natural antioxidants. Natural antioxidants possess wide variety of bioassay properties like anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory etc. The substitution of artificial dietary antioxidants with natural ones in recent decades has increased interest in low-cost raw materials, particularly agricultural-based products, for the discovery of new antioxidants. For both natural and synthetic antioxidants, reports of biological features such as anti-allergic, anti-mutation, anti-cancer and anti-aging activity have been reported. The most significant natural antioxidants come from regularly eating fruits and vegetables, although other plant materials and agricultural waste are also major sources of antioxidants.

Published: August 2023

The application of the sliding mode control in power converters has a well-known inconvenient from the practical point of view, which is to obtain fixed switching frequency implementations. This thesis deals with the development of a hysteresis band controller in charge of fixing the switching frequency of a sliding motion in power electronics applications. The proposed control measures the switching period of the control signal and modifies the hysteresis band of the comparator in order to regulate the switching frequency of the sliding motion. The proposed structure becomes in an additional control loop aside from main control loop implementing the sliding mode controller. In the first part of the thesis, the switching frequency control system is modelled and a design criteria for the control parameters are derived for guaranteeing closed loop stability, under different approaches and taking into account the most expectable working scenarios. In the second part of the thesis, the proposed strategies are applied to several power converters prototypes. Specifically, DC-to-DC and DC-to-AC power converters are built and the experimental results are shown. In this part, the strategies used for implementing the controllers are also deeply discussed.

Simulación Monte Carlo de transistores bipolares de heterounión abrupta (HBT)
Authors:   , Garcias Salva Pau
Published: August 2023

El desarrollo de la tecnología electrónica hace necesario disponer de modelos fiables de los dispositivos y convierte la simulación de los mismos en un elemento estratégico para su desarrollo presente y futuro. El transistor bipolar de heterounión (HBT) es uno de los componentes más prometedores dentro del campo de los dispositivos de alta velocidad, ya que es capaz de controlar densidades de corriente elevadas a frecuencias muy elevadas. Dentro de esta familia destacan los HBTs de InP/InGaAs, que registran actualmente la frecuencia de operación más alta. Estos dispositivos exhiben una discontinuidad abrupta en las bandas de energía (en la interfaz base-emisor), cuya presencia invalida los modelos convencionales de transporte, basados en los mecanismos de arrastre-difusión (DD) o en el modelo hidrodinámico (HD) y ampliados con la emisión termoiónica y la transmisión túnel en la heterounión. Tanto el modelo DD como el HD derivan de aproximaciones de la ecuación de transporte de Boltzmann (BTE) que, alternativamente, puede ser resuelta de forma exacta por el método de Monte Carlo (MC). De esta forma, se superan las limitaciones intrínsecas de los simuladores convencionales y es posible determinar su margen de validez. El inconveniente principal de los simuladores MC es su elevado requerimiento de tiempo de cálculo. El objetivo de la tesis es desarrollar un simulador MC para HBTs abruptos que sea computacionalmente eficiente, por aplicación de técnicas de supercomputación paralela. La memoria de la tesis consta de seis capítulos. En el primero se introducen la problemática de la simulación de dispositivos, los HBTs y el método de MC aplicado a este campo. En el segundo se presenta el método convencional de simulación de HBTs, puesto que su resultado será utilizado como aproximación inicial en el simulador MC desarrollado y como referencia comparativa. El tercer capítulo se dedica a presentar el esquema básico de simulación MC de transistores bipolares, mientras que en el cuarto se dan detalles de la implementación eficiente del simulador MCHBT, con la aplicación de técnicas de supercomputación paralela y la utilización de técnicas específicas como el MC ponderado. El capítulo quinto contiene los resultados de simulación de BJTs de GaAs, para resaltar las diferencias del nuevo método de simulación con el convencional sobre un dispositivo y un material conocidos. Finalmente, se amplía el simulador MC con la resolución de la ecuación de Schrodinger en la interfaz abrupta, para incorporar los fenómenos cuánticos de transporte en el HBT. Asimismo, se utiliza la ecuación de balance del momento para interpretar los resultados y establecer un margen de validez de los simuladores convencionales ampliados para el estudio de HBTs abruptos.

This work has been developed in a line of research related whit the Intermediate Band (IB) concept, which explores overcoming the photovoltaic efficiency limits established for solar cells. The IB concept implies two issues: a) the determination of materials capable to generate or create an IB b) the incorporation of these materials optimally within the photovoltaic device.
The first stage of this work is focused on the synthesis of GaAs layers with high doses of Titanium impurities (GaAs(Ti)) as IB candidate material. Thin layers of GaAs(Ti) have been deposited by sputtering and its optical and compositional characteristics have been characterized. In a second stage, structures and processes are designed to incorporate the GaAs(Ti) layers in photovoltaic devices. Moreover, devices with a HIT structure are fabricated using (p) c-Si substrates with high dose of implanted titanium. Other structures are developed to incorporate quantum dots and / or metallic nanoparticles.

Broadband electrical impedance spectroscopy for dynamic electrical bio-impedance characterization
Authors:   , Sánchez Terrones Benjamín
Published: August 2023

The electrical impedance of biological samples is known in the literature as Electrical Bioimpedance (EBI). The Electrical Bioimpedance enables to characterize physiological conditions and events that are interesting for physiological research and medical diagnosis. Although the Electrical Bioimpedance weakness is that it depends on many physiological parameters, on the other hand, it is suitable for many medical applications where minimally invasive and real-time measurements with simple and practical implementations are needed.
The Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) techniques based on broadband excitations are expected to help to understand various unsolved problems in biomedical applications. Broadband EIS opens up the possibility to reduce drastically the measuring time for acquiring EBI time-variations but, at the same time, measuring in a short time compromises the EBI accuracy. The way to overcome this intrinsic loss of accuracy relies on the design of the appropriate time/frequency input excitation properties and the use of the suitable spectral analysis processing techniques.
The presented thesis covers the topics related to study of broadband excitations for Impedance Spectroscopy in biomedical applications and, more specific, the influence of the multisine excitation time/frequency properties on the impedance spectrum accuracy and its optimization. Furthermore, an advanced fast signal processing method has been implemented to process in real-time EBI data corrupted by transients, a common situation when measuring in a short measuring time. Despite being the goal to apply all this knowledge for myocardial tissue regeneration monitoring, at the moment of drafting the thesis, any of the research projects that have supported this thesis have issued functional beating tissue. For that reason, the theory presented has been validated by a set of experimental measurements over animals and patients where the impedance spectrum time-varying properties were pretended to be characterized.
The thesis presents novel findings of relevance of a successful application of broadband EIS in two different measurement campaigns where it has been put in practice: (1) within the collaboration of the pneumology and cardiology service from Hospital Santa Creu i Sant Pau for in-vivo human lung tissue characterization, and (2), within the measurement of animal healthy myocardium tissue electrical impedance including its dynamic behavior during the cardiac cycle.

The proposed control strategies present different options to improve the behavior of inverters during voltage unbalances and grid faults. Therefore, it could be possible to contribute to ride-through the perturbation and to avoid the disconnection of power suppliers during these contingencies.
The scope of the proposed strategies covers a wide range of possibilities, from static voltage unbalance to dynamic voltage sags. The control algorithms are versatile and their usefulness is discussed in detail. The utility of these algorithms is focused on distributed generation in power networks with high penetration of renewables energy sources, mainly wind farms, located in remote zones and connected in weak grids.
The proposed control strategies are:
(i). Voltage support control of the maximum and minimum phase voltages within the limits for continuous operation.
(ii). Control of positive and negative active and reactive powers to flexibilize the low-voltage ridethrough services, by injecting the maximum current of the inverter.
(iii). On the use of effective power factor for reducing the voltage unbalance in static grid voltage perturbations.

The worldwide cosmetics sector is expanding quickly in the modern period due to rising consumer demand. More and more people, regardless of gender, strive to achieve visual appeal and good health. The worldwide cosmetics sector has seen tremendous growth in the popularity of skincare products. Male skincare product consumers are growing due to changing lifestyles and heightened self-awareness. Earlier research indicates that social media has a significant role in luring males to purchase skincare products. Knowing how effective social media marketing is towards Gen-Z males' purchase intention is essential. Thus, there is a need for a comprehensive examination to be carried out. The primary objective of this research is to determine whether social media marketing has a direct or indirect impact on the purchase intention of facial wash brands. This research is conducted using a quantitative approach, utilizing a survey distributed towards 306 respondents Gen-Z males who live in Bandung aged 18 - 26, have previously purchased facial wash products from any brand, and use social media frequently. The data that was collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and PLS-SEM. The result of the analysis shows that social media marketing has a direct and positive impact on purchase intention. However, their relationship seems to be on the low-to-average level. In order to strengthen their relationship, it is found that the mediator variables, which are brand image, brand trust, and brand loyalty, are needed. Therefore, to effectively use social media marketing to influence purchase intention, brands have to consider building a good brand image, brand trust, and brand loyalty. The findings of this research can be utilized by marketers who intend to create purchase intention through social media marketing.

В статье рассматриваются аргументы В.А. Ладова относительно предложенного Г. Пристом принципа единого решения логико-семантических парадоксов. В.А. Ладов считает, что помимо самореферентности для возникновения парадоксов необходимым элементом является отрицание. Однако отрицание есть лишь синтаксический аналог основных семантических понятий «истина» и «ложь». Поскольку истина и ложь являются основной характеристикой объектов, относительно которых формулируются парадоксы, постольку самореферентность является единственной причиной их возникновения.

Среди неоднозначностей, наблюдаемых в высказываниях о пропозициональных установках, некоторые связаны с возможностью понять то или иное слово в общепринятом значении или же в идиолекте носителя установки, которую передает высказывание. Хотя этот факт известен уже около двух десятилетий, первой работой, где на этом в известной мере основана вся теория интерпретации высказываний об установках, можно назвать недавнюю статью [Tancredi, Sharvit, 2022]. Значительная гибкость ее формального аппарата обусловлена тем, что выражающее установку придаточное рассматривается как еще не проинтерпретированный языковой объект, так что его интерпретация в высказывании об установке может отличаться от его интерпретации в качестве отдельного высказывания и денотативно (в мирах, совместимых с содержанием установки, у входящих в него выражений могут быть не те же денотаты, что в реальном мире), и сигнификативно (в отношении смыслов, или толкований, этих выражений). Настоящая статья, помимо исторического очерка (§1) и краткого представления идей К. Танкреди и Я. Шарвит (§2), критикует такие аспекты их теории, как отсутствие в ней возможности прямо отсылать к возможным мирам (§3) и нужда в синтаксическом передвижении для предсказания невозможности некоторых интерпретаций (§4). С другой стороны, мы показываем, как подобная теория, разделяющая сигнификативный и денотативный аспекты интерпретации, позволяет развить представление о шкалах, связанных с высказываниями об установках, и, соответственно, о порождаемых ими скалярных импликатурах (§5).
