Taxation of digital services in BRICS countries: A comparative analysis
Authors:   Financial Research Institute of the Ministry of Finance оf the Russian Federation, Ponomareva Karina A. ,   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration
Published: October 2023

The need to ensure compliance with the fiscal interests of the state in the conditions of the emerging digital economy requires the transformation of essential approaches to the regulatory regulation of tax relations both in the context of determining the appropriate legal forms for regulating the national tax base. These tasks remain relevant even in the current conditions of sanctions restrictions. In the absence of consensus on tax projects of international organizations, many countries have begun to introduce digital taxes unilaterally. National digital taxes can be divided into three groups: income taxes, VAT for electronic services and hybrid taxes. These national digital taxes are considered on the examples of individual BRICS countries. The article examines the experience of Brazil as a state where discussions are actively underway about the need to introduce a digital tax and a number of tax bills have been developed in this area, India as a country that uses interesting and rather unconventional methods of taxation of digital companies, as well as China and South Africa as countries that use VAT for electronic services. Based on a comparative legal analysis of the legislation of the BRICS states, in which digital taxes have been introduced, possible scenarios for the development of tax regulation in Russia have been developed. It is concluded that the introduction of a digital tax in Russia is not appropriate. The methodological basis of the research consists of both general scientific methods (dialectical-materialistic, systemic, induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis) and interdisciplinary, as well as legal research methods proper. When conducting the research, it is planned to use proper legal methods and approaches: formal-legal and comparative-legal. The study is based on a comparative legal method that allows comparing similar legal problems existing in legislation and international treaties, as well as identifying optimal ways to resolve them.
Mainstreaming climate adaptation and institutionalization: focusing on the water management of the third national climate adaptation plan of South Korea
Authors: Gim Changdeok , Shin Jiyoung
Published: October 2023

The Government of South Korea has devoted efforts to mainstream climate adaptation in the national framework for a decade, and the recent National Climate Adaptation Plan (2021–2025) is a part of the continued institutionalizing endeavor to enhance adaptive capacity. To cope with climate threats, such as financial loss and death toll, confirmed at the 55th Session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2022, addressing a fundamental question of how to mainstream climate adaptations at the governmental policy level came to the fore. This study builds an analysis framework comprising three different domains of institutionalized mainstreaming – normative, organizational, and operational approaches – to understand how far climate adaptation has been institutionalized. Further, the framework is applied to analyze the extent to which an administrative project 'I. Water Management' specified in the Detailed Implementation Programs has been mainstreamed. The analysis results indicate more rigorous inter/intra organizational governance and responsibility supported by regulatory provisions are much needed, inter alia, for the due course of institutionalizing climate adaptation. It can be quite challenging to achieve national climate adaptation in a timely manner when there is a lack of comprehensive integration of resilience institutions into national recognition, regulatory organization, and operational tools.
Emerging progress of carbon nanomaterials in wastewater treatment: synthesis and utilization
Authors: Xie Yuansha , Chen Wu , Dai Jie
Published: October 2023

In this work, data from experiments concerning carbon components in various forms, including graphite, graphene oxide (GO), active carbon, compilations, and analyses of the substances used as efficient wastewater management agents, are conducted. The initial phase involved characterizing the mentioned carbon compounds and nanoparticles (NPs) using various complementary methods. Raman spectrophotometry, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and zeta spectrum research are involved in the approach. The next obstacle was coming up with a very straightforward procedure that would allow us to examine whether carbon NPs behaved in a mixture of effluent water and active sludge regarding hydrodynamic and physiological consequences. Principal component analysis (PCA) (univariate and multivariate) has confirmed the complicated relationships of NPs made of GO with organisms observed in processed wastewater. PCA techniques are used to evaluate experimental outcomes. Utilizing the results from this experiment, several huge-scale studies on how active NPs affect wastewater purification may be designed. Simulations using PCA clearly showed that GO significantly impacts the wastewater technical processes under investigation. It is envisaged that the discoveries will enable the design of clever conservation technologies.
Entre proyectos y realidades constitucionales en Chile: gradualidad, inflexión y ruptura. Parte II: Estado, ciudadanía y derechos entre 1980-2023
Authors: González Pizarro José Antonio
Published: October 2023

Se prosigue el análisis de los proyectos constitucionales que no alcanzaron a ser promulgados, sea por constituir diseños que no fueron debatidos, o rechazados por la ciudadanía, después de la promulgación de la Constitución de 1980, cuestionada en su legitimidad. Siguiendo los criterios de filiación y de afiliación, procedentes de la teoría literaria de Edwards Said, se fija una clasificación de la constitución y de los proyectos, en base de la tradición democrática republicana de base francesa o anglosajona, con sus énfasis respecto de la fisonomía del Estado, los derechos y el ejercicio de la ciudadanía, que permite hablar de gradualidad e inflexión; contrastada con la mirada rupturista con tal tradición.
O transfronteirismo da cultura gaúcha na região do prata: dos changadores às fronteiras culturais
Authors: Boff Ricardo Bruno , Lucas Machado Nicole Elisabeth
Published: October 2023

A formação da “cultura gaúcha” se deu a partir do encontro dos colonizadores ibéricos com os indígenas, na região do Rio da Prata. O gaucho platino caracterizava-se como uma figura crioula, com baixa vinculação a reinos ou pátrias e quase sem limites fronteiriços à sua circulação. Mas, com o surgimento dos tratados de limites coloniais e, sobretudo, dos países independentes, criaram-se tradições gaúchas separadas na Argentina, no Brasil e no Uruguai, como parte da formação das identidades nacionais e regionais. No Brasil, buscou-se separar o “bom” gaúcho brasileiro do malo gaucho platino, utilizando-se a Revolução Farroupilha como mito fundador do gaúcho heróico. O problema de pesquisa está nesta “separação” de uma matriz cultural originalmente unificada e na possibilidade de reintegrá-la na atualidade. O objetivo geral foi demonstrar o caráter transfronteiriço da cultura gaúcha. Tratou-se de um trabalho exploratório, que se utiizou de fontes científicas e jornalísticas, além de trechos de músicas e poemas a fim de retratar os elementos da cultura gaúcha trazidos ao longo do texto. Ao final, foi possível de explorar seu potencial integrador, através do conceito de “fronteiras culturais”.

Authors: Rogachev A. F. , Belousov I. S.
Published: October 2023

Objective. Monitoring and determining the state of crops in agricultural production requires the use and improvement of neural network methods of artificial intelligence.

The aim of the study is to create a mathematical model of the learning process of the DeepLabV3 neural network for intelligent analysis and segmentation of agricultural fields.

Method. Based on the newly formed RGB database of images of agricultural fields, marked up into four classes, a neural network of the DeepLabV3 architecture was developed and trained. Approximations of the learning curve by the modified Johnson function are obtained by the methods of least squares and least modules.

Result. A statistical assessment of the quality of training and approximation of neural networks to the DeepLabV3 architecture in combination with ResNet 50 was carried out. The constructed DNN family based on DeepLabV3 with ResNet50 showed the efficiency of recognition and sufficient speed in determining the state of crops.

Conclusions. Approximation of the neural network learning diagram to the DeepLabV3 architecture, using a modified Johnson function, allows us to estimate the value of the “saturation” of the simulated dependence and predict the maximum value of the neural network metric without taking into account its possible retraining.

Modeling of the flow and heat exchange in pipes with turbulators of viscous heat carriers in the laminar region, as well as in the transition to turbulent flow
Authors: Lobanov I. E.
Published: October 2023

Objective. Mathematical modeling of heat transfer in pipes with turbulators for viscous heat carriers at Reynolds numbers characteristic of laminar and transient flow regimes is carried out by the calculation method. The solution of the heat exchange problem for semicircular cross-section flow turbulators based on multiblock computing technologies based on the solution of the Reynolds equations (closed for the transient mode using the Menter shear stress transfer model) and the energy equation (on multi-scale intersecting structured grids) by the factorized finite-volume method (FCOM) was considered.

Method. The calculation was carried out on the basis of a theoretical method based on the solution of the Reynolds equations, closed for transient modes using the Menter shear stress transfer model, and the energy equation on multiscale intersecting structured grids (FCOM), by a factorized finite-volume method.

Result. Both local and averaged characteristics of the flow and heat exchange in pipes with turbulators for a viscous coolant for laminar and transient flow modes of the coolant were obtained using the FCOM method in the work, which made it possible to determine for these modes the levels of heat exchange intensification that satisfactorily correlate with the existing experiment.

Conclusion. The calculated relative hydraulic resistance for low turbulators increases quite slightly, and for medium-altitude turbulators reaches 2÷2.5 to the critical Reynolds number, and subsequently it increases up to 3 times; for high turbulators, the relative hydraulic resistance increases up to 4 times even before the transition flow regime is reached, after which it increases up to 4.5 times. The calculated relative isothermal intensified heat exchange under the laminar flow regime of a viscous coolant for relatively high turbulators increases almost 2 times; for relatively medium heights of turbulators — almost one and a half, and for low relative heights, the intensification of heat exchange is insignificant.

Scenario-Based e-Simulation Design for Global Health Education: Theoretical Foundation and Practical Recommendations
Authors: Bahattab Awsan , Caviglia Marta , Martini Daniela , Hubloue Ives , Della Corte Francesco , Ragazzoni Luca
Published: October 2023

Electronic simulation (e-simulation)—particularly scenario-based e-simulation (SBES)—is an increasingly used, promising educational strategy for global health education that can address gaps in training access, effectiveness, and cost. However, there is little guidance for educators on how to develop an SBES, and guidance is lacking outside the clinical context. Moreover, literature on medical education rarely uses the theoretical basis for e-simulation design and development, including for SBES. Hence, we aim to differentiate and describe the concept, design elements, and theoretical basis of SBES with examples from different topics in global health. In addition to enhancing the understanding of the potential of SBES for global health education, this manuscript also provides practical recommendations for global health educators in designing and developing SBESs based on the existing literature and authors’ experiences. Overall, this manuscript will be useful for global health educators as well as other medical educators seeking to develop an SBES for similar skill sets.

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND

Internet-derived data and the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and ARIMA with explanatory variable (ARIMAX) models are extensively used for infectious disease surveillance. However, the effectiveness of the Baidu search index (BSI) in predicting the incidence of scarlet fever remains uncertain.

OBJECTIVE

Our objective was to investigate whether a low-cost BSI monitoring system could potentially function as a valuable complement to traditional scarlet fever surveillance in China.

METHODS

ARIMA and ARIMAX models were developed to predict the incidence of scarlet fever in China using data from the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China between January 2011 and August 2022. The procedures included establishing a keyword database, keyword selection and filtering through Spearman rank correlation and cross-correlation analyses, construction of the scarlet fever comprehensive search index (CSI), modeling with the training sets, predicting with the testing sets, and comparing the prediction performances.

RESULTS

The average monthly incidence of scarlet fever was 4462.17 (SD 3011.75) cases, and annual incidence exhibited an upward trend until 2019. The keyword database contained 52 keywords, but only 6 highly relevant ones were selected for modeling. A high Spearman rank correlation was observed between the scarlet fever reported cases and the scarlet fever CSI (rs=0.881). We developed the ARIMA(4,0,0)(0,1,2)(12) model, and the ARIMA(4,0,0)(0,1,2)(12) + CSI (Lag=0) and ARIMAX(1,0,2)(2,0,0)(12) models were combined with the BSI. The 3 models had a good fit and passed the residuals Ljung-Box test. The ARIMA(4,0,0)(0,1,2)(12), ARIMA(4,0,0)(0,1,2)(12) + CSI (Lag=0), and ARIMAX(1,0,2)(2,0,0)(12) models demonstrated favorable predictive capabilities, with mean absolute errors of 1692.16 (95% CI 584.88-2799.44), 1067.89 (95% CI 402.02-1733.76), and 639.75 (95% CI 188.12-1091.38), respectively; root mean squared errors of 2036.92 (95% CI 929.64-3144.20), 1224.92 (95% CI 559.04-1890.79), and 830.80 (95% CI 379.17-1282.43), respectively; and mean absolute percentage errors of 4.33% (95% CI 0.54%-8.13%), 3.36% (95% CI –0.24% to 6.96%), and 2.16% (95% CI –0.69% to 5.00%), respectively. The ARIMAX models outperformed the ARIMA models and had better prediction performances with smaller values.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrated that the BSI can be used for the early warning and prediction of scarlet fever, serving as a valuable supplement to traditional surveillance systems.
Digital Health Secondary Prevention Using Co-Design Procedures: Focus Group Study With Health Care Providers and Patients With Myocardial Infarction (Preprint)
Authors: Pelly Melissa Louise , Fatehi Farhad , Liew Danny , Verdejo-Garcia Antonio
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a debilitating condition and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Digital health is a promising approach for delivering secondary prevention to support patients with a history of MI and for reducing risk factors that can lead to a future event. However, its potential can only be fulfilled when the technology meets the needs of the end users who will be interacting with this secondary prevention.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to gauge the opinions of patients with a history of MI and health professionals concerning the functions, features, and characteristics of a digital health solution to support post-MI care.

METHODS

Our approach aligned with the gold standard participatory co-design procedures enabling progressive refinement of feedback via exploratory, confirmatory, and prototype-assisted feedback from participants. Patients with a history of MI and health professionals from Australia attended focus groups over a videoconference system. We engaged with 38 participants across 3 rounds of focus groups using an iterative co-design approach. Round 1 included 8 participants (4 patients and 4 health professionals), round 2 included 24 participants (11 patients and 13 health professionals), and round 3 included 22 participants (14 patients and 8 health professionals).

RESULTS

Participants highlighted the potential of digital health in addressing the unmet needs of post-MI care. Both patients with a history of MI and health professionals agreed that mental health is a key concern in post-MI care that requires further support. Participants agreed that family members can be used to support postdischarge care and require support from the health care team. Participants agreed that incorporating simple games with a points system can increase long-term engagement. However, patients with a history of MI emphasized a lack of support from their health care team, family, and community more strongly than health professionals. They also expressed some openness to using artificial intelligence, whereas health professionals expressed that users should not be aware of artificial intelligence use.

CONCLUSIONS

These results provide valuable insights into the development of digital health secondary preventions aimed at supporting patients with a history of MI. Future research can implement a pilot study in the population with MI to trial these recommendations in a real-world setting.

BACKGROUND

There is increasing evidence that co-design can lead to more engaging, acceptable, relevant, feasible, and even effective interventions. However, no guidance is provided on the specific designs and associated methods or methodologies involved in the process. We propose the development of the Preferred Components for Co-design in Research (PRECISE) guideline to enhance the consistency, transparency, and quality of reporting co-design studies used to develop complex health interventions.

OBJECTIVE

The aim is to develop the first iteration of the PRECISE guideline. The purpose of the PRECISE guideline is to improve the consistency, transparency, and quality of reporting on studies that use co-design to develop complex health interventions.

METHODS

The aim will be achieved by addressing the following objectives: to review and synthesize the literature on the models, theories, and frameworks used in the co-design of complex health interventions to identify their common elements (components, values or principles, associated methods and methodologies, and outcomes); and by using the results of the scoping review, prioritize the co-design components, values or principles, associated methods and methodologies, and outcomes to be included in the PRECISE guideline.

RESULTS

The project has been funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

CONCLUSIONS

The collective results of this project will lead to a ready-to-implement PRECISE guideline that outlines a minimum set of items to include when reporting the co-design of complex health interventions. The PRECISE guideline will improve the consistency, transparency, and quality of reports of studies. Additionally, it will include guidance on how to enact or enable the values or principles of co-design for meaningful and collaborative solutions (interventions). PRECISE might also be used by peer reviewers and editors to improve the review of manuscripts involving co-design. Ultimately, the PRECISE guideline will facilitate more efficient use of new results about complex health intervention development and bring better returns on research investments.

An interpretable approach for trustworthy intrusion detection systems against evasion samples
Authors: Nguyen Ngoc Tai , Do Hoang Hien , Phan The Duy , Pham Van-Hau
Published: October 2023

In recent years, Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have demonstrated remarkable success in various domains, including Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). The ability of DNN to learn complex patterns from large datasets has significantly improved IDS performance, leading to more accurate and efficient threat detection. Despite their effectiveness, DNN models exhibit vulnerabilities to adversarial attacks, where malicious inputs are specifically crafted to deceive the models and evade detection. This paper provides insights into the effectiveness of deep learning-based IDS (DL-IDS) against adversarial example (AE) attacks. We tackle the weaknesses of DNN in detecting adversarial attacks by proposing the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which serves as an AE detector. We also utilize one of the XAI techniques, specifically SHAP, to enhance the transparency of the AE detector. Our results show that the AE detector has obvious effects for detecting adversarial examples and achieves an impressive 99.46% accuracy in our experimental environment.

Authors: Reyes Castro Pablo Alejandro
Published: October 2023

Objetivo: comparar la accesibilidad peatonal de los consultorios adyacentes a farmacias con la de los consultorios públicos de los centros de salud y con los consultorios privados convencionales de atención primaria en la ciudad de Hermosillo. Metodología: se utilizó estadística espacial descriptiva y el método E2SFCA de accesibilidad espacial. Resultados: la población con inaccesibilidad peatonal a los consultorios públicos (73.3%) fue siete veces mayor que la población con inaccesibilidad peatonal a los consultorios adyacentes a farmacias (11.3%) y cuatro veces mayor que la de los consultorios privados convencionales (44.6%). Limitaciones: solo se consideró la movilidad peatonal. Valor: no se conoce otro estudio comparativo de estos servicios desde la perspectiva espacial. Conclusiones: las estrategias de localización que adoptaron los servicios públicos y privados convencionales influyeron en la accesibilidad peatonal limitada que aprovecharon los consultorios adyacentes a farmacias. El Estado debe garantizar la calidad de la atención de estos últimos establecimientos y exigir que cumplan con la obligación de reportar aquellas enfermedades que sean de notificación obligatoria.

Ao pesquisar sobre a tecnologia digital e os povos indígenas Kaingang, pôde-se compreender a importância de fomentar mecanismos para dar acesso e visibilidade à documentação (técnica e científica) dos povos originários. Nesta pesquisa, tem-se como objetivo geral investigar sobre o uso das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) pelos membros da Aldeia Kaingang Três Soitas, para o acesso à informação. A Aldeia está localizada na cidade de Santa Maria-RS. A metodologia adotada foi a pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, desenvolvida a partir da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, que visa um maior conhecimento sobre a temática dos povos indígenas e os desafios do acesso às TIC. A análise  dos resultados permitiu identificar as diferentes formas de uso das tecnologias digitais, nas quais foram apontadas como o avanço da tecnologia afeta o cotidiano do povo indígena Kaingang. A conclusão constatou que as tecnologias digitais são utilizadas como prática pedagógica muito presentes no cotidiano da escola, e como instrumento de luta pela efetivação dos direitos indígenas e de divulgação da sua cultura, pois, por meio das TIC, as próprias comunidades indígenas podem se expressar e contar a sua história, além de preservar sua memória e identidade, respeitando sua diversidade.
Aportaciones de la teoría de la autopoiesis al análisis de las instituciones de educación superior
Authors: Silas Casillas Juan Carlos
Published: October 2023

Este escrito aporta elementos para comprender cómo la teoría de la autopoiesis favorece el análisis de departamentos académicos y de la forma en que éstos se involucran en procesos de acoplamiento estructural con su medio ambiente. Adicionalmente ilustra cómo estos acoplamientos están relacionados con el prestigio percibido en la institución. Tiene dos finalidades: a) familiarizar al lector con conceptos básicos de la teoría de la autopoiesis y con su uso en el análisis organizacional de instituciones educativas, y b) evidenciar la aplicación del concepto de acoplamiento estructural, elemento fundamental en la aplicación social de este enfoque teórico, mediante un estudio de caso que abarca seis departamentos académicos pertenecientes a una institución de educación superior privada en el noreste mexicano. Los resultados constatan una relación entre conceptos autopoiéticos y el análisis organizacional en las instituciones educativas.

Abstract: The age and gender information are very important for various real world applications such as social understanding, biometrics, identity verification, crowd behavior analysis etc. There are numerous works proposed for age and gender prediction in the past several years. The age and gender detector project aims to develop an advanced AI system capable of accurately determining the age and genders of individuals from images. As we can see, the model outputs are mostly special parts as well as wrinkles, which are important for age and gender prediction. This project utilizes deep learning techniques to analyze special features and patterns, enabling real time identification and classification of age and gender attributes.
Financial Decision Dynamics: A Machine Learning Exploration into Term Deposit Subscriptions
Authors: Deore Prajwal , Desai Yash , Mohite Yashraj
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In today's changing economic world, banks are working hard to understand how different groups of people behave financially. They use information like what kind of job a person has, whether they are married, and their level of education to create strategies that encourage people to open term deposit accounts, especially during tough economic times. This study uses a detailed set of data from Kaggle and applies machine learning tools like Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and Decision Trees to understand the complex patterns of how people behave with their money, and what influences their choices, particularly when the economy is down. A new feature called 'economic conditions' was introduced in this study to better understand how people's financial choices change in normal and downturn phases. The standout performer in this study was the Random Forest tool, which showed an accuracy of about 87.8% in predicting if a person would open a term deposit account or not. This study helps banks create strategies that are more in tune with what people want and need, making banking a more personalized and satisfying experience for everyone
New Women in Selected Indian Chick Lit Novels: From Stereotypical Roles towards Modernity
Authors: Kaur Dr. Harpreet
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Women in India have had a challenging time developing in a male subjugated society, class and caste systems. But within time, women have become educated, emancipated and independent. In the era of globalization and change, Women are no longer confined to the walls of a house. They have become cognizant of the need to be modern and new woman. The image of woman in literature in recent decades as presented by Indian English writers is different from that past. The journey of women smashing the stereotypical roles and stepping ahead towards modernity and ‘new woman’ has been depicted by several Chick Lit writers in their writings. Being a Subgenre of Chick Lit, Indian Chick Lit is a genre of fiction written for and advertised to young women, particularly solitary and employed women in their twenties and thirties. This new genre has appeared as a different tendency especially for the young independent employed women who are struggling hard to find a space for themselves in the twenty first century. This paper highlights the journey of women from stereotypical roles towards modernity. It elucidates how the protagonists in Indian Chick Lit novels smash the stereotypes of self-sacrificing and self-effacing roles of women discussing the novels Piece of Cake by Swati Kaushal and and Salaam, Paris by Kavita Daswani. These leading characters of selected Indian chick lit novels are at great pains to get themselves free from the stereotypical and traditional roles
