Export Determinants of RCEP Negotiating Countries: Does REER Matter?
Authors: Susilo Ignatia Bintang Filia Dei , Ramadhan Rifky Wahyu
Published: February 2024

With the use of panel data analysis, this study seeks to determine how the Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) affects the overall exports from the ASEAN-5 nations (Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines) as well as several neighboring nations (Australia, India, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, and China). An increase in a country's REER indicates a weakening of the country's trade competitiveness, assuming the other variables remain (ceteris paribus). Based on the results of the study, it was found that the effect of REER was different for ASEAN-5 and non-ASEAN and did not significantly affect the total exports of the 11 countries. The REER coefficient is positive for non-ASEAN countries and the value is higher for high-income countries. The REER coefficient is negative for ASEAN-5 countries but not significant. The negative value is more significant for middle-income countries. The effect of REER on total exports can depend on the type of commodity traded in a country (using natural resources that are abundant in the country or not). Export products that rely on imported raw materials cause when depreciation occurs, the price of raw materials becomes more expensive, increases the price of the final product, and also decreases the terms of trade of related products.Dengan menggunakan analisis data panel, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) mempengaruhi keseluruhan ekspor dari negara-negara ASEAN-5 (Indonesia, Singapura, Malaysia, Thailand, dan Filipina) serta beberapa negara tetangga (Australia, India, Jepang, Korea Selatan, Selandia Baru, dan Tiongkok). Peningkatan REER suatu negara mengindikasikan melemahnya daya saing perdagangan negara tersebut, dengan asumsi variabel lain tetap (ceteris paribus). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa pengaruh REER berbeda untuk ASEAN-5 dan non-ASEAN dan tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap total ekspor 11 negara tersebut. Koefisien REER positif untuk negara non-ASEAN dan nilainya lebih tinggi untuk negara berpenghasilan tinggi. Koefisien REER negatif untuk negara-negara ASEAN-5 tetapi tidak signifikan. Nilai negatifnya lebih besar dan signifikan untuk negara berpenghasilan menengah. Pengaruh REER terhadap total ekspor dapat bergantung pada jenis komoditas yang diperdagangkan di suatu negara (menggunakan sumber daya alam yang melimpah di negara tersebut atau tidak). Produksi barang ekspor dengan bahan baku impor menyebabkan ketika terjadi depresiasi, harga bahan baku menjadi lebih mahal, menaikkan harga produk akhir, sehingga menurunkan terms of trade produk terkait.

Published: February 2024

HistoGuide application is a smartphone application system used by sixth form students as virtual microscopy and slides to solve the problems of incorrect drawing and labelling, inability to apply magnification and scale, and inability to observe details in microscopic practical works. However, as a newly developed application, there are still many who do not understand the usability of the HistoGuide application. In building a good application, one important part is good usability. Usability testing, especially in the HistoGuide application, can show users' ease and efficiency in using the system. The authors try to use qualitative usability testing through observation, document analysis and interviews with four participants as a pilot study before a real study. The analysis revealed the preference of the students for utilizing virtual microscopy as an educational tool in terms of usability, in the construct of usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning, satisfaction, effectiveness and efficiency. These results indicate that the HistoGuide application is good. The results of usability measurement are expected to help the development and improvement of the HistoGuide application in the future, besides gauging the students’ learning experience. The study also revealed that students accepted virtual microscopic learning tool that was easy to use, available at a distance, encouraged collaboration and mastery, changed learning attitudes and emulated the same concepts of optical microscopy. Although there are some concerns and challenges, the overall learning experiences are highly positive towards complementing optical microscopy with virtual microscopy.

Endoscopic features and treatments of gastric cystica profunda
Authors: Geng Zi-Han , Zhu Yan , Fu Pei-Yao , Qu Yi-Fan , Chen Wei-Feng , Yang Xia , Zhou Ping-Hong , Li Quan-Lin
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Gastric cystica profunda (GCP) represents a rare condition characterized by cystic dilation of gastric glands within the mucosal and/or submucosal layers. GCP is often linked to, or may progress into, early gastric cancer (EGC).

AIM

To provide a comprehensive evaluation of the endoscopic features of GCP while assessing the efficacy of endoscopic treatment, thereby offering guidance for diagnosis and treatment.

METHODS

This retrospective study involved 104 patients with GCP who underwent endoscopic resection. Alongside demographic and clinical data, regular patient follow-ups were conducted to assess local recurrence.

RESULTS

Among the 104 patients diagnosed with GCP who underwent endoscopic resection, 12.5% had a history of previous gastric procedures. The primary site predominantly affected was the cardia (38.5%, n = 40). GCP commonly exhibited intraluminal growth (99%), regular presentation (74.0%), and ulcerative mucosa (61.5%). The leading endoscopic feature was the mucosal lesion type (59.6%, n = 62). The average maximum diameter was 20.9 ± 15.3 mm, with mucosal involvement in 60.6% (n = 63). Procedures lasted 73.9 ± 57.5 min, achieving complete resection in 91.3% (n = 95). Recurrence (4.8%) was managed via either surgical intervention (n = 1) or through endoscopic resection (n = 4). Final pathology confirmed that 59.6% of GCP cases were associated with EGC. Univariate analysis indicated that elderly males were more susceptible to GCP associated with EGC. Conversely, multivariate analysis identified lesion morphology and endoscopic features as significant risk factors. Survival analysis demonstrated no statistically significant difference in recurrence between GCP with and without EGC (P = 0.72).

CONCLUSION

The findings suggested that endoscopic resection might serve as an effective and minimally invasive treatment for GCP with or without EGC.
The neurobiology of aesthetic chills: How bodily sensations shape emotional experiences
Authors: Schoeller Felix , Jain Abhinandan , Pizzagalli Diego A. , Reggente Nicco
Published: February 2024

The phenomenon of aesthetic chills—shivers and goosebumps associated with either rewarding or threatening stimuli—offers a unique window into the brain basis of conscious reward because of their universal nature and simultaneous subjective and physical counterparts. Elucidating the neural mechanisms underlying aesthetic chills can reveal fundamental insights about emotion, consciousness, and the embodied mind. What is the precise timing and mechanism of bodily feedback in emotional experience? How are conscious feelings and motivations generated from interoceptive predictions? What is the role of uncertainty and precision signaling in shaping emotions? How does the brain distinguish and balance processing of rewards versus threats? We review neuroimaging evidence and highlight key questions for understanding how bodily sensations shape conscious feelings. This research stands to advance models of brain-body interactions shaping affect and may lead to novel nonpharmacological interventions for disorders of motivation and pleasure.

Authors: Nández Martínez Feliciano , Rincón Peregrino Nallely , Juárez Reyes Esaú
Published: February 2024

La Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) es un problema de salud pública global con una alta incidencia y prevalencia, lo que genera una mayor demanda de atención médica. Esta enfermedad crónica implica cambios en el estilo de vida del paciente y afecta a todos los aspectos de su vida y la de su familia. Evaluar la funcionalidad familiar y el control glucémico es crucial para los profesionales de la salud, ya que ayuda a establecer intervenciones clínicas y estrategias para un mejor manejo del paciente. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre la funcionalidad familiar y el control glucémico en pacientes con DM2 en un hospital en Salina Cruz, Oaxaca. Se realizó un estudio observacional con 331 pacientes, y se encontró que el 53.2% con funcionalidad familiar normal tuvo un buen control glucémico. El análisis mostró una relación significativa entre la funcionalidad familiar y el control glucémico. Además, la religión cristiana y una funcionalidad familiar normal fueron identificadas como factores determinantes en el control glucémico. Se concluye que la funcionalidad familiar y la religión influyen en el control glucémico en pacientes con DM2, lo que resalta la importancia de considerar estos aspectos en las intervenciones de atención. Es necesario realizar más estudios para comprender mejor esta relación y otros factores relevantes para mejorar el manejo de la DM2. Además, se observó que factores como la disfuncionalidad familiar, nivel socioeconómico bajo, baja escolaridad y comorbilidades contribuyen al mal control glucémico y aumentan el riesgo de complicaciones en estos pacientes.

The study introduces e-MARZ, a Virtual Reality (VR) software designed to tackle challenges faced by music educators in enhancing music appreciation lessons within the Malaysian lower secondary school music curriculum. The research aims to improve student engagement, provide immersive and interactive learning experiences, and develop a user-friendly VR application. A video production process was employed to create 360-degree music performance videos, which were integrated into the e-MARZ software via interactive modules. This article mainly discusses the development and evaluation aspects, utilising the modified ADDIE Instructional model, m-ADDIE, during the development phase. The e-MARZ prototype underwent evaluation using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ) for quantitative data collection and analysis to assess usability, with a sample of five music education experts and 82 secondary school music students. Limitations of the study include the use of 360 media of live performances tailored for secondary school students' music appreciation and employing 3DOF (degrees of freedom) instead of the more advanced 6DOF, potentially impacting the generalisability of findings and the scope of achievable VR experiences. Despite these limitations, the high usability scores obtained during the evaluation, as measured by SUS and PSSUQ, indicate the software's effectiveness in addressing its intended challenges. The e-MARZ software offers an immersive, user-friendly VR experience that is cost-effective and compatible with various devices. This research provides insights into producing cost-effective, user-friendly VR applications using 360 media, promoting accessible VR application development in education. As a result, the study transforms students' engagement with music appreciation, fostering a more immersive, interactive, and enjoyable learning experience.

O Agronegócio brasileiro: a contribuição do Ipea nos debates
Authors: Vieira Filho José Eustáquio Ribeiro
Published: February 2024

O Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (Ipea) contribuiu com um extenso debate sobre o desenvolvimento econômico e produtivo do setor agropecuário no Brasil. Há mais de uma década, o setor era dominado pelo segmento fornecedor e considerado uma atividade pouco dinâmica em termos de progresso tecnológico. Entretanto, com o extenso debate realizado, no passado, e mais recentemente, com a publicação de livros e Textos para Discussão, assim como artigos científicos, diversos pesquisadores do Ipea mostraram à sociedade que o agronegócio se tornou a “galinha dos ovos de ouro” da economia brasileira, estimulando as conversas no meio acadêmico e a formulação de corretas políticas públicas nos órgãos público.

A Centralidade da habitação nas Políticas Nacionais de Desenvolvimento Urbano: uma leitura a partir de estudos desenvolvidos pelo Ipea
Authors: Krause Cleandro , Balbim Renato Nunes , Nadalin Vanessa Gapriotti
Published: February 2024

O objetivo deste ensaio é apresentar as contribuições de técnicos de planejamento e pesquisa da Diretoria de Estudos e Políticas Regionais, Urbanas e Ambientais do Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (Dirur/Ipea) para a identificação, caracterização e avaliação de dois modelos de política habitacional, aqui identificados como o sistêmico (ou federalista) e o produtivista. Argumenta-se que a convivência dos dois modelos esteve longe de ser harmoniosa. Ressalta-se o caráter paradoxal do Estado ao lançar o programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida, que subverteu as estruturas federativas e de planejamento até então definidas. Além disso, discutem-se as limitações de ambos os modelos no que diz respeito à expansão de modalidades alternativas ou inovadoras de produção habitacional, apontando que tais modalidades são cruciais para o enfrentamento de dimensões das necessidades habitacionais não sanadas exclusivamente com a produção de novas unidades.
Automated Scheduling of Doppler Exoplanet Observations at Keck Observatory

Published: February 2024

Precise Doppler studies of extrasolar planets require fine-grained control of observational cadence, i.e., the timing of and spacing between observations. We present a novel framework for scheduling a set of Doppler campaigns with different cadence requirements at the W. M. Keck Observatory. For a set of observing programs and allocated nights on an instrument, our software optimizes the timing and ordering of ∼1000 observations within a given observing semester. We achieve a near-optimal solution in real-time using a hierarchical Integer Linear Programming framework. Our scheduling formulation optimizes over the roughly 103000 possible orderings. A top level optimization finds the most regular sequence of allocated nights by which to observe each host star in the request catalog based on a frequency specified in the request. A second optimization scheme minimizes the slews and downtime of the instrument. We have assessed our algorithms performance with simulated data and with the real suite of Doppler observations of the California Planet Search in 2023.

Purpose: To assess the interobserver delineation variability of radiomic features of the parotid gland from computed tomography (CT) images and evaluate the correlation of these features for head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy patients.Materials and Methods: Contrast-enhanced CT images of 20 HNC patients were utilized. The parotid glands were delineated by treating radiation oncologists (ROs), a selected RO and AccuContour auto-segmentation software. Dice similarity coefficients (DSCs) between each pair of observers were calculated. A total of 107 radiomic features were extracted, whose robustness to interobserver delineation was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Pearson correlation coefficients (r) were calculated to determine the relationship between the features. The influence of excluding unrobust features from normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) modeling was investigated for severe oral mucositis (grade ≥3).Results: The average DSC was 0.84 (95% confidence interval, 0.83–0.86). Most of the shape features demonstrated robustness (ICC ≥0.75), while the first-order and texture features were influenced by delineation variability. Among the three observers investigated, 42 features were sufficiently robust, out of which 36 features exhibited weak correlation (|r|<0.8). No significant difference in the robustness level was found when comparing manual segmentation by a single RO or automated segmentation with the actual clinical contour data made by treating ROs. Excluding unrobust features from the NTCP model for severe oral mucositis did not deteriorate the model performance.Conclusion: Interobserver delineation variability had substantial impact on radiomic features of the parotid gland. Both manual and automated segmentation methods contributed similarly to this variation.
A Proposal of Naturalistic Software Development Method

Naturalistic programming purports to include natural language elements in programming languages to increase software expressiveness. Even though natural language is inherently ambiguous, it is richer and thus more expressive than any artificial language. Currently, the Naturalistic Programming Paradigm (NPP) is supported by its conceptual model and three general-purpose naturalistic programming languages that can generate executable binary code. Nevertheless, to date, no research efforts have been concentrated on applying the NPP within a software development process. To address this gap, in this article, we propose a naturalistic software development method to test the advantages of the NPP. The method focuses on the analysis and design stages of the software development process and seeks to contribute to closing the gap between the problem and the solution domains. We also present an example of an implementation using Cal-4700, a naturalistic programming language, showing the differences in expressiveness of programming with a traditional programming language, like Python.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis: A Qualitative Study of Caregiver, Patient, and Clinician Experience in the United States
Authors: Rose Heath , Bielory Leonard
Published: February 2024

Purpose:

To better understand the patient journey and challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC).

Methods:

This qualitative study assessed the experience of caregivers of children with VKC (n = 7) and of clinicians who treat VKC (n = 16) in the United States. The structured interviews were conducted to identify key “pain points”, obstacles, and trends on the path to diagnosis.

Results:

Like an earlier study conducted in the United Kingdom, this study found low awareness of the nature and severity of VKC among U.S. caregivers and non-specialist providers, and a tendency among young patients and their caregivers to downplay initial symptoms. Medical intervention was delayed as caregivers treated symptoms with over-the-counter medications; 88% (14 of 16) of specialists reported frequent misdiagnosis and mistreatment by pediatricians and primary care providers who were initial points of care. Time to appropriate referral ranged from 1 to 2 weeks to 3 months, in part due to convoluted referral pathways that were universal points of frustration for caregivers and specialists.

Conclusions:

Limited awareness of VKC remains a barrier to timely identification and management of this rare but disruptive ocular surface disease. Caregivers underestimate symptom severity, pediatricians and primary care providers often misdiagnose VKC as allergy or infection, and referrals to appropriate specialists are delayed until symptoms are severe. Early identification is essential to improving the diagnostic journey and treatment of VKC.

A Comparative Analysis of Surgical Outcomes for Infantile Esotropia With and Without Prior Botulinum Toxin A Injection
Authors: Yigit Didem Dizdar , Kockar Alev , Gurez Ceren , Inal Aslı , Gokyigit Birsen
Published: February 2024

Purpose:

To compare the surgical outcomes in patients who had a failed botulinum toxin A injection before surgery versus those who had surgery as primary treatment (primary surgery) for infantile esotropia.

Methods:

The files of patients who had strabismus surgery in the Strabismus Unit of Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital between January 2012 and March 2022 were reviewed. This study included 104 eyes of 52 patients with infantile esotropia. The angle of deviation before and 1, 3, and 6 months after botulinum toxin A injection or surgery, complications, pattern deviations, family history, abnormal head position, history of prematurity, intensive care unit admission, and consanguineous marriage were noted. A successful outcome was defined as ocular alignment of 10 prism diopters (PD) or less.

Results:

The study population consisted of 52 patients: 27 (52%) boys and 25 (48%) girls. In the botulinum toxin A group (n = 26), the mean age at admission was 14.0 ± 6.8 months, whereas the mean preoperative near and far angle of deviation were 41.92 ± 12.2 and 41.3 ± 13.0 PD, respectively. The mean age at the time of surgery was 40.6 ± 18.1 months. In the primary surgery group (n = 26), the mean age at admission was 34.0 ± 15.9 months. The mean preoperative near and far angle of deviation were 37.3 ± 8.0 and 35.3 ± 10.5 PD, respectively. The mean age at the time of surgery was 48.1 ± 18.5 months. The success rates 6 months after treatment in the botulinum toxin A group and the primary surgery group were 76.9% and 88.5% in near (
P
> .05) and 80.8% and 88.5% in far (
P
> .05), respectively. Three patients had transient ptosis and one had consecutive exotropia after botulinum toxin A injection.

Conclusions:

In infantile esotropia treatment, strabismus surgery after failed botulinum toxin A injection compared to primary surgery has statistically comparable surgical success rates.
