Pengaruh Leverage, Corporate Governance dan Intensitas Modal terhadap Agresivitas Pajak
Authors: Kurniawan Dwi Putra , Lisetyati Eni , Setiyorini Wahyu
Published: June 2022

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan antara  agresivitas  pajak  dengan  leverage,  corporate  governance, dan intensitas modal. Dalam penelitian, total 54 data yang digunakan sebagai sampel, yang diperoleh dari laporan dan annual report perusahaan pertambangan yang terdaftar di BEI periode 2014-2019 dan telah memenuhi kriteria yang ditetapkan oleh peneliti. Variabel Leverage tidak berpengaruh terhadap agresivitas pajak. Hal tersebut disebabkan perusahaan sampel sebagian  besar  pendanaan  yang  dimiliki  berasal  dari  pihak yang berelasi sehingga beban bunga yang timbul tidak dapat digunakan untuk mengurangi laba kena pajak. Hasil penelitian ini sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Astuti (2014). Variabel   corporate   governance   yang   di   proxikan   dengan komposisi komisaris independen tidak berpengaruh terhadap agresivitas pajak. Hal tersebut dimungkinkan   keberadaan    komisaris    independent    hanya sebagai pemenuhan regulasi perusahaan. Sehingga fungsi dan weweng tidak  berjalan  dan  tidak  menggunakan independensinya dalam perusahaan. Hasil enelitian ini sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Andrean (2018). Variabel intensitas modal secara parsial berpengaruh positif terhadap   agresivitas   pajak.   Hasil   penelitian   ini   konsisten dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh simbolon dan Sudjiman (2021). Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan perusahaan melakukan tindakan agresivitas pajak dengan memanfaatkan peraturan yang ada, yaitu memperbesar aset tetap untuk memperoleh  depresiasi  yang  akan  mengurangi  laba  kena pajak.
Meta-Analysis: Depression as A Risk Factor for Dementia
Authors: Krisnawati Hesthi
Published: June 2022

Background: Depression is a mental disorder which if not treated can cause other diseases, including the individual's physical condition. One of the risks that occur due to recurrent depression is dementia. Dementia can reduce a person's ability to survive due to decreased brain function. This study was aimed to determine the effect of depression (depression) as a risk factor for dementia (dementia).Subjects and Method: This study was a meta-analysis, with a PICO covering Population= people with dementia. Intervention= depression. Comparison= without depression. Outcome= the risk of dementia. Research data was searched from several sources including: PubMed, Google Scholar, Springer Link, and Science Direct from 2011 until 2021 with the following keywords "dementia" AND "depression" OR "risk of dementia" AND “Hazard Ratio” AND "multivariate". The inclusion criteria used were full papers using English with a cohort study design from 2011-2021 by reporting the Adjusted Hazard Ratio (aHR) value. The selection of articles was carried out using the PRISMA flow diagram. Data processing using Review Manager software version 5.3 to determine the risk of depression variables on dementia.Results: A total of 11 cohort studies were selected for a systematic review and meta-analysis. The data collected showed that depression can increase patients of dementia 1.38 times compared to without depression (aHR= 1.38; 95% CI= 1.38 to 1.70; p=0.003).Conclusion: Depression increases the risk of developing dementia.
Keywords: depression, dementia, risk factor.

Execution energy of continuous flight auger piles as an assessment tool to evaluate the mechanical response of the soil mass
Authors: Campos Darym , Ozelim Luan , Cavalcante André Luís , Silva Carlos , Camapum de Carvalho José
Published: June 2022

Allying technology, theory and engineering practice is one of the main challenges of modern foundation engineering. Current foundation and retaining walls designs may lead to oversizing or undersizing due to the spatial variability of the stratigraphic profile. As the design procedure of piled foundations involves defining the setting depth of the tip, sometimes the piles may not behave as expected, as the soil mass may change significantly even in a small region. In this paper, a study was conducted on the geoenergetic behavior of the soil mass and of the piles of a construction site located in Brasília, DF, Brazil. Previous studies showed that the energy needed to drill a continuous flight auger pile (CFAP) can be related to the strength of the drilled strata. Therefore, a methodological framework was built to further discuss how the geomechanical behavior of CFAPs foundations could be assessed by analyzing the energy needed to drill such piles. Statistical methods, in special the Bootstrap method, were used to assess the possible influences of construction procedures on pile behavior. It was studied how the execution energies of piles vary with initial depth and relative position in the terrain, as well as the influences that they suffer because of the order of execution within a same foundation group and due to the proximity to surrounding retaining walls. The proposed methodology can be used to improve the energy control procedure and performance evaluation of CFAPs, allowing a complementary reliability assessment for the foundation and retaining walls designs and implementations.
Träume eines Geistersehers, erläutert durch Träume der Metaphysik. Historisch-kritische Edition
Authors: Kant Immanuel
Published: June 2022

Diese Kritik weitet sich zu einer Ablehnung der gesamten herkömmlichen Metaphysik aus, deren Scheitern Kant zum Anlass nimmt, nach der angemessenen Methode in der Philosophie zu fragen. Als solche empfiehlt er die Hinwendung zu erfahrungswissenschaftlichen Verfahren. Damit hat Kant bereits wesentliche Momente seiner späteren Vernunftkritik erarbeitet. Aber auch die praktische Philosophie profitiert von der im Geist des Skeptizismus und im Tonfall ironisch­sarkastischer Redeweise durchgeführten Untersuchung. Es zeigt sich, dass die Grundzüge von Kants Moralphilosophie bereits 1766 gefunden sind. Kants Abhandlung bedeutet somit in mehrfacher Hinsicht das Ende seiner vorkritischen Phase und markiert die eigentliche Geburtsstunde des Kritizismus. Die Ausgabe präsentiert Kants Text erstmals in historisch­kritischer Gestalt und mit deutschen Übersetzungen der Stellen aus den »Arcana Coelestia« Sweden­borgs, auf die sich Kant bezieht. Die umfänglichen Erläuterungen decken die Anknüpfungen an die zeitgenössische Philosophie auf und stellen die Verbindung der Abhandlung mit Kants vorkritischen wie kritischen Werken her.

Hydrogen production in microchannel methanol steam reforming reactors
Authors: Chen Junjie
Published: June 2022

Many attempts have been made to improve heat transfer for thermally integrated microchannel reforming reactors. However, the mechanisms for the effects of design factors on heat transfer characteristics are still not fully understood. This study relates to a thermochemical process for producing hydrogen by methanol steam reforming in a microchannel reactor. Computational fluid dynamics simulations are conducted to understand the consumption, generation, and exchange of thermal energy between endothermic and exothermic processes in the reactor. The effects of wall heat conduction properties and channel dimensions on heat transfer characteristics and reactor performance are investigated. A thermodynamic analysis is performed based on specific enthalpy to understand the evolution of thermal energy in the reactor. The results indicate that the thermal conductivity of the channel walls is fundamentally essential. Highly thermally-conductive solids are preferred for the channel walls. Wall materials with poor heat conduction properties degrade the reactor performance. Reaction heat flux profiles are considerably affected by channel dimensions. The peak reaction heat flux increases with the channel dimensions while maintaining the flow rates. The change in specific enthalpy is positive for the exothermic reaction and negative for the endothermic reaction. The change in specific sensible enthalpy is always positive. Design recommendations are made to improve thermal performance for the reactor.
In vitro, effects of Praziquantel and alcoholic and aqueous crude extracts of Citrullus colocynthis and Eucalyptus globulus on the viability of protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus
Authors: Alyasari Hadi F.
Published: June 2022

Iraqi flora is rich in plants and the possibility of finding new antimicrobial agents still widely ahead, therefore, the present work evaluated the effects of alcoholic and aqueous crude extracts of Citrullus colocynthis; Eucalyptus globulus leaves and Praziquantel drug (as scolicidal agents) on the viability of Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces in vitro. Live protoscoleces obtained from the liver of naturally infected sheep. The viability of protoscoleces was determined by their motility and flame cells activity and staining method using 0.1% eosin solution. The number of viable protoscoleces was counted and distributed into test tubes (4 tubes for each treatment of different concentrations) and 2 tubes were kept as control without treatments. The percentage viability of protoscoleces was ranged between 93.7 to 95.3. Praziquantel drug reduced the survival of protoscoleces during seven sequenced days post incubation. Drug effects showed more influence in both concentrations of 450 μg/ml from day 4 and 600 μg/ml from day 3 post incubation, respectively. The methanolic extract of C. colocynthis reduced the viability of protoscoleces during eight sequenced days post incubation from 96% to zero%. The effects were marked highly in the concentrations of 300 μg/ml from day 3 post incubation. Aqueous fruit extracted decreased in the viability of protoscoleces. In the minimum used concentration (75μg/ml), the viability of protoscoleces reduced from 96% to reach zero% at day eight post incubation, whereas in the maximum concentration used (300 μg/ml), the viability reached to zero% after four days. All concentrations of leaves methanolic and aqueous extracts of E. globulus have an antiparasitic activity against the protoscoleces viability, but the greater effect was to 600 μg/ml that kill all protoscoleces in 6 days after treatment.
Heavy Metals Pollutions within Lagos South Western Nigeria
Authors: Odunaike Kola
Published: June 2022

Environmental pollution is a global phenomenon which could results from both natural and anthropogenic activities which has resulted to several health and physiological problems in both plants and animals. Dump sites’ soils of and Borehole waters from Ojota, Ebutte-Meta, Igando and Bariga in Lagos state were analyzed for heavy metals using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The data obtained were further subjected to contamination factor and pollution indices analyses. The results obtained showed lead (Pb) to be most concentrated in the soils and ranged from 0.22 ppm to 2.50 ppm, this was followed by the value recorded for zinc (Zn) which was between 0.0015 ppm to 0.020 ppm. The least observed metal in all the soil sample stations was nickel (Ni) which ranged from 0.001 ppm to 0.010 ppm. On the other hand, only water samples from Ojota and Ebutte-Meta were detectable with Pb concentration values of 0.38 ppm and 0.0028 ppm, Ni concentration values of 0.0052 ppm and 0.009 ppm, Zn concentration values of 0.0039 ppm and 0.0020 ppm respectively. On subjecting the concentration of the heavy metals to contamination factor (CF) revealed very slight contamination of the different soils from different areas. There was also very slight contamination of the waters from Ojota and Ebutte-Meta by metals, except for Igando and Bariga that were moderately and severely contaminated by the metals respectively. The Pollution Index (PI) showed that the soils and waters samples are unpolluted with the heavy metals.

Using Economic Analysis to Incorporate Reparations for Black Americans into the US History Classroom
Authors: Wheeler Amelia H. , Grace Chantelle
Published: June 2022

The United Nations recognizes that if a nation-state violates the civil rights of its citizens, it is responsible for providing reparations to the harmed group. Many Black Americans assert that the prolonged civil rights abuse they incurred during enslavement and post-slavery discrimination necessitate the US government provide reparations. Thus, many factions of the ongoing civil rights movement (Hall, 2005) focus on securing Black Americans' reparations. However, in my research, I found that US History standards and curricular resources often paint the civil rights movement as completed and reparations as a decontextualized political debate. This article encourages US History teachers to include reparations into their Civil Rights Movement instruction by incorporating economic analysis. To assist in this shift, I detail a framework that can support US History teachers in interweaving economic thinking and data to situate the topic of reparations into their Civil Rights curriculum.

Developing the sense of writing with one’s class through a cooperative novel. Yves Baticle and Christophe Pavie, the first being headmaster and teacher, trainer of young teachers, intervenient at the University of Caen in the interdegrees, the second, trainer in French, in interdisciplinarity, in the interdegrees, in interculturality and in international courses at the INSPÉ (Institut National Supérieur du Professorat et de l’Éducation) of the University of Caen, Normandy, offer us, through this perfectly structured book, a method of didactic approach to writing through the creation of a novel. Dedicated to students aged 8 to 12, this book can expand its target audience up to 18 years. The discerning reader, the teacher interested in improving his working methods with the students and preparing them for a better world, will find much to learn from these experiences. Another very important finding in the economy of this book is that it is addressed only to teachers endowed with a particular sensitivity for reading, able to live the pulse of words and sentences, able to combine ideas and endowed with enormous patience and the joy of offering. For the profession of teacher, more than any other or a little like that of a doctor or a priest, is not a profession, it is a vocation that involves the spirit of sacrifice, the happiness of offering, an enormous patience. If all this exists, the result of the work with students is guaranteed. Would there be a greater reward?
Semantic roles of adverbials in the TV series “Friends”
Authors:   1 Decembrie 1918 University of Alba Iulia, Popescu Teodora
Published: June 2022

The aim of this paper is to offer an insight into the semantic roles of adverbials. The approach is mainly construed around the theory of adverb semantics propounded by Quirk, Greenbaum, Leech, and Svartvik (1985) – grammatical functions and the realisation of semantic roles. The theoretical approach is complemented by a practical analysis of adverbial phrases occurring in social interactions (as well as script-based stage directions) from the TV series “Friends”. The main method used is corpus analysis; in addition, a semi-automated identification of adverbs was performed using both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The tools used were ConcApp software, as well as electronic dictionaries and lexical databases. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of -ly adverbials in the script was carried out to establish certain patterns of adverb occurrence in social interaction. The results reveal a large proportion of subjuncts, in particular emphasisers, intensifier subjuncts and downtoners (approximator) (in Greenbaum et al.’s taxonomy), or, in other taxonomies, speaker-oriented (Jackendoff 1972) / sentence adverbs (Swan 1988) / stance adverbs – attitude and epistemic (Biber et al. 1999). A second important finding is that the –ly adverbs used in this sitcom display high polysemy, including some novel semantic uses peculiar to present-day US English.
Uncovering conceptual metaphors in Donald Trump’s Twitter before and after the COVID-19 outbreak
Authors:   University of Madeira (Funchal, Portugal), ULICES – University of Lisbon, Sousa Alcina , Ivanova Anna ,   Institute for Education Studies, University of O’Higgins, Rancagua, Jasmins Diogo ,   University of Évora
Published: June 2022

Global leaders have addressed the COVID-19 pandemic in various ways and registers well beyond the scientific-technical genre, some of which have been unexpectedly undermined by a war-like undertone broadcast by both the media and social networks (cf. conceptual metaphor as discussed, for example, by Lakoff, & Johnson 1980, and Koller 2011). According to Hartmann-Mahmud (2002), metaphors are often exploited to manipulate emotion and to justify courses of action related, in this case, to a pandemic scenario, thereby potentially fostering the labelling of the virus with lexemes such as an enemy, invisible or hidden, or even as a prompter for war, hatred, prejudice and racism. Particularly interesting for this research paper is the study in progress of the occurrence of metaphors, associated with the pandemic, retrieved from the Twitter of Donald Trump (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump), especially given his reported high engagement with interlocutors in social media (Walther 1992, Crystal 2006, Greengard 2009, Murthy 2013, Baym 2015, Burgess, & Baym 2020). The corpora comprise all original tweets disseminated by Trump in two periods: the first from September 2019 to January 2020; and the latter from February to June 2020. Drawing on corpus linguistics and a discourse-based approach (Baker 2006), it is possible to account for metaphors associated with the lemma COVID in Trump’s Twitter. Research findings indicate 123 occurrences of the lemma virus closely associated with the following lexical items: corona, Covid, China, Chinese, hidden enemy, invisible enemy and war. This study analyses conceptual metaphors in Trump’s communicative strategies throughout the early and mid-stages of the pandemic. Hence, it reflects upon the impact of figurative language in the social construction of meaning, particularly that of leaders’ interactions with citizens and internet followers in real world interactions via social media, which borrows increasingly from online exchanges (Sousa, & Ivanova 2012) more than any other media (for instance international press).

Published: June 2022

Due to the rapidly increasing use of electrical devices, e-waste became one of the major threats to the environment. Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) are an integral part of electrical devices, thus the interest in their recycling is growing. Recycling of WPCBs can be performed by applying hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical processes, as well as vacuum pyrolysis. The main advantages of vacuum pyrolysis are eco-friendliness, economic viability and efficiency in extracting present noble metals, while pyrolysis oil occurs as a by-product. Pyrolysis oil poses a tremendous threat to the environment, due to the possibility of its spillage into water, as well as a potential release into the air and soil. Because of this, the pyrolysis oil was subjected to chemical treatment with different reagents, such as sodium hydroxide, calcium oxide, sulfuric acid and maleic anhydride, with the intent to solidify the material and remove unpleasant odors. Incorporation of the solidified materials into bitumen, at 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 wt.% addition, was performed to obtain waterproofing materials. The obtained solidified and bituminous water-resistant materials were subjected to various test methods: FTIR spectroscopy, physicochemical and mechanical properties of bitumen, etc. which showed that all the tested characteristics are in accordance with values prescribed by the current standard. Toxicity Leaching Procedure (TCLP) confirmed non-hazardous characteristics of the obtained materials, except for the ones with added solidified pyrolysis oil, with Sodium hydroxide, that showed higher leaching of the phenol constituent.
Monosaccharide profile of “Mendim Me Zon”: Beverage from Solanum aethiopicum Shum berries
Authors: Valentin Desire Guiama  , Makhlouf Himeda  , Robert Germain Beka  , Juliette Koube  , Esther Ngah
Published: June 2022

Solanum aethiopicum Shum is a plant belonging Solanaceae family. These berries are used for their food and pharmacological virtues. For instance, they are commonly consumed in the form of hot-drink, so called “Mendim Me Zon” used by the forest people. Revitalizing and detoxifying properties are attributed to this beverage. The bioactivity of this drink is often attributed to its secondary metabolites. While monosaccharides also have a biological activity that may contribute to the virtues of this tea. The present work was carried out to analyse the carbohydrate fraction of “Mendim Me Zon”. The extract prepared following the preparation conditions of “Mendim Me Zon” was analysed to determine its proximate composition, including soluble carbohydrates, proteins and total phenolic compounds. The monosaccharide profile was established using gas chromatography. Results show that carbohydrates were its most abundant constituent in the extract, although the taste was bitter. This taste is certainly determined by phenolic compounds present in the extract. Gas chromatography analysis of the extract showed that extract was composed of pentose (fucose), hexoses (mannose, galactose and glucose), hexosamines (glucosamine and galactosamine), uronic acid (glucuronic acid) and sialic acid (N-acetyl-neuraminic acid). Fructose was absent from the extract, while the mannose was relatively more abundant. These results might suggest that “Mendim Me Zon” contains monosaccharides and their derivatives with many beneficial biological functions. The monosaccharide profile justifies the traditional use of this drink as a nutraceutical. However, further studies including toxicological one are still needed to determine the safety and efficacy of “Mendim me Zon”.

Background: Tuberculosis is an airborne infection that causes lung damage, and it is particularly harmful to patients with weakened immune systems or other health problems. Allopathic medications are associated with development of cross resistance or multidrug resistance in diseases such as TB, making treatment more difficult. In this case, Herbal remedies are the most effective in treating this disease. Medicinal plants with antituberculotic qualities provide pharmacists with a new supply of medicine, allowing them to create novel drugs depending on their active constituents or intermediate metabolites. Objective: Many recent studies have shown that ayurvedic medicines can reduce mortality dramatically when administered in such situations because they interact with the body's natural environment. Ayurvedic medicine is growing in popularity due to its low toxicity study and lack of side effects when compared to allopathic treatments. Conclusion: Considering botanical categorization and anti-tubercular action, Anti-tubercular medicinal herbs have been chosen from scientific literature for this review. A primary objective of this study is to highlight antituberculosis plants, their chemical compounds, and their anti-tubercular properties.

The Eureka Moment in Entrepreneurial Opportunity as an Imaginative Construct
Authors: Leong David
Published: June 2022

Entrepreneurial opportunity stimulates action. Does it only stimulate entrepreneurs to action? Or to non-entrepreneurs as well? What it is, and what it is not? Who is an entrepreneur? The concept of opportunity has been a bedrock in entrepreneurship research since Shane and Venkataraman’s seminal work in 2000. Researchers have explored the emergence, the role and the purpose of opportunity since then. Despite more than two decades of scholarship on the construct that has moved us well beyond what Shane and Venkataraman originally defined and with seminal papers that have moved us toward a better and more sophisticated understanding of the opportunity, we are still asking who an entrepreneur is? Ramoglou, Gartner and Tsang argue that this is the wrong question. The definitional varieties and fragments move Davidsson to suggest dismantling the construct and re-contextualising it with a more suitable and coherent framework. Foss and Klein suggest doing away with the opportunity concept altogether. This paper articulates that opportunity still provides a fundamental scaffold to organise entrepreneurial research. We propose that opportunity exists as an artificial imaginative construct in the minds of entrepreneurs. We argue that the concept of an imagined opportunity can overcome the fragmented definitions with an elasticity that can clarify and sharpen its utilitarian value. This paper aims to shift the dialogue on how opportunity emerges, exists and changes according to the information presented and subjectively interpreted through mental visualisation/imagination.
Firm Structure, Market Structure, and Firm Dynamics of the Informal Sector in India: A Survey of Literature
Authors: CHAKRABORTY HIMADRIJA , Chakrabarti Saumya
Published: June 2022

Abstract

Despite the expected dissolution of the informal sector with growth, the ongoing emergence and expansion of this sector, especially in developing countries like India, has raised a vibrant theoretical and empirical discussion. This paper aims to survey the vast existing literature on the informal sector in India, focusing on sectoral and intra-sectoral aspects such as firm structure, market structure, and firm dynamics. From the literature, we could identify that competition, or lack of it, happens to be a crucial issue in analyzing the above-mentioned aspects. Contrary to this emphasis on the competition by both the orthodox and heterodox discourses, we try to identify the role of intra and extra-firm collaboration in the context of firm structure, market structure, and firm dynamics. However, the role of collaboration in these aspects is largely under-researched in the existing literature and thus could be a potential scope of future research in the informal sector.
The “Yellow” and “Jewish” Question in the Russian Far East: Managing Foreignness, Productivity, and Colonization, 1858-1914
Authors:   New York University, Benjamin Tova
Published: June 2022

This article compares the Russian empire’s “Yellow” and “Jewish” question in the Far East, contrasting imperial officials’ attitudes toward Chinese, Korean, and Jewish settlement and economic activities in the Priamurskii Krai. Considering these groups side by side reveals how the empire treated Jews as its own internal other, and how discourse about Jews in the Western borderlands could be broadened to include other groups the Russian empire viewed as a threat: in this case, Chinese and Korean migrants and settlers. The article details the legal limbo these three groups existed in between 1858–1884, and the development of anti-Asian and anti-Jewish attitudes after administrative boundaries were redrawn in 1884. Despite the small number of Jews in the region, local officials and the Ministries of Justice and Interior debated the “Jewish Question” in the Priamur, and Jews were considered the archetypical economic exploiter for those Russian officials and Russian settlers who wanted to underscore the perceived economic threat of Chinese and Korean settlers. While the empire formerly considered Jews as a potentially productive colonizing element, this article uses the regional example of the Far East to consider how imperial attitudes toward non-Russian elements of the population weighed the economic usefulness of undesirable groups against their perceived cultural threat.
IT IS A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE: ATTENTIONAL FOCUS RATHER THAN DIETARY RESTRAINT DRIVES BRAIN RESPONSES TO FOOD STIMULI
Authors: Kochs Sarah , Franssen Sieske , Pimpini Leonardo , van den Hurk Job , Roebroeck Alard , Jansen Anita , Roefs Anne
Published: June 2022

Brain responses to food are thought to reflect food’s rewarding value. We propose that brain responses to food are more dynamic and hypothesize that brain responses to food depend on attentional focus. Food pictures (high-caloric/low-caloric, palatable/unpalatable) were presented during fMRI-scanning, while attentional focus (hedonic/health/neutral) was induced in 52 female participants varying in dietary restraint. The level of brain activity was hardly different between palatable versus unpalatable foods or high-caloric versus low-caloric foods. Activity in several brain regions was higher in hedonic than in health or neutral attentional focus (p < 0.05, FWE-corrected). Palatability and calorie content could be decoded from multi-voxel activity patterns (p < 0.05, FDR-corrected). Dietary restraint did not significantly influence brain responses to food. So, level of brain activity in response to food stimuli depends on attentional focus, and may reflect salience, not reward value. Palatability and calorie content are reflected in patterns of brain activity.

Կիբերանվտանգությունն այսօր մարտահրավեր է յուրաքանչյուր պետության համար, քանի որ համացանցի ընդլայնումը հանգեցրել է անվտանգային խնդիրների խորացմանն ու շերտավորմանը: Պատահական չէ, որ համացանցային կապի ներթափանցումը հանրային կյանքի տարբեր բնագավառներ պետական և հանրային սուբյեկտներին հարկադրում է մեծ ուշադրություն դարձնել պաշտպանական միջոցառումներին, իսկ կիբերանվտանգությունը դարձել է պետությունների ազգային անվտանգության անքակտելի մասը: Ոլորտի կանոնակարգման նպատակով բազմաթիվ երկրներ ընդունել են տարաբնույթ հայեցակարգեր և ռազմավարություններ: Այս առումով բավական ակտիվ աշխատանքներ է անում նաև Թուրքիան, որտեղ կիբերսպառնալիքներն անվտանգային նոր մարտահրավերների առաջ են կանգնեցրել երկիրը:
A single nucleotide variant on chromosome 16 residing within CMIP distinguishes patients with HER2+ breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: June 2022

Molecular subtypes, including the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-enriched subtype (HER2+), drive patient outcomes in human breast cancer but the biological basis underlying subtype-specific disease is not completely understood (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover in an unbiased fashion the most distinguishing genetic and transcriptional features of tumors of each breast cancer molecular subtype. We identified a single nucleotide polymorphism, rs2317240, residing within CMIP, as among the most significant genetic differences in the tumors of patients with HER2+ breast cancer. In a separate cohort of patients with HER2+ subtype breast cancer, we observed transcriptome-wide differential expression of a CMIP transcript. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that CMIP primary tumor expression was correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with basal-like breast cancer. Sequence variation in the CMIP gene may be important in understanding differences in genetic background that favor development of HER2+ subtype human breast cancer.

Ultra-high bandwidth optical neural networks using Kerr soliton crystal microcombs: Scaling the network to the PetaOp regime
Authors: Moss David
Published: June 2022

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are able to distill the hierarchical aspects of raw data. They are central to machine learning functions including speech and pattern recognition, medical diagnosis, playing board games, computer vision, and many other areas [1-7]. Optical neural networks (ONNs) in particular can significantly increase the computing speed of ANNs in order to overcome the intrinsic bandwidth bottleneck of electronics. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), are inspired by biological systems such as the visual cortex, and are a powerful approach to greatly reduce the parametric network complexity in order to enhance the accuracy of the predictions of the system. In this paper, we demonstrate a universal optical convolutional accelerator that can be used in conjunction with both electronic and optical neural networks. It operates beyond 10 Tera-OPS (TOPS - operations per second) and produces convolutions of extremely large scale images of 250,000 pixels in size with a resolution of 8-bits. It generates 10 convolutions simultaneously in parallel, with 10 different kernels. This processing simultaneously — enough for facial image recognition. After demonstrating this, we then use the exact hardware to form a convolutional neural network consisting of a convolutional front-end followed by a deep optical neural network fully connected layer, together forming a CNN with ten neurons at the output. We successfully perform the recognition of all 10 hand written digits, each consisting of 900 pixel handwritten digit images. We achieve an accuracy of 88% which is very close to the theoretical accuracy of 90%. We use an approach that exploits the simultaneous multiplexing, or interleaving, within the time, space and wavelength dimensions, using an optical frequency comb supplied by an integrated Kerr micro-comb source. We compare the performance of different optical neural networks, explicitly showing that our approach is intrinsically scalable in both size and speed, up to the PetaOPs per second (POPs) regime in speed and to well over 24,000 synapses in size. We perform theoretical evaluation of the scaled system performance and show that it is trainable to much more complex networks for real-world demanding applications including real-time video recognition and autonomous unmanned vehicle control.
The M-value: A simple sensitivity analysis for bias due to missing data in treatment effect estimates
Authors: Mathur Maya B
Published: June 2022

Complete-case analyses can be biased if missing data are not missing completely at random. We propose simple sensitivity analyses that apply to complete-case estimates of treatment effects; these analyses use only simple summary data and obviate specifying the mechanism of missingness and making distributional assumptions. Bias arises when: (1) treatment effects differ between retained and non-retained participants; or (2) among non-retained participants, the estimate is biased because conditioning on retention has induced a backdoor path. We thus bound the overall treatment effect on the difference scale by specifying: (1) the unobserved treatment effect among non-retained participants; (2) the strengths of association that unobserved variables have with the exposure and with the outcome among retained participants (“induced confounding associations”). Working with the former sensitivity parameter subsumes certain existing methods of worst-case imputation, while also accommodating less conservative assumptions (e.g., that the treatment is not detrimental even among non-retained participants). As an analog to the E-value for confounding, we propose the M-value, which represents, for a specified treatment effect among non-retained participants, the strength of induced confounding associations required to reduce the treatment effect to the null or to any other value. These methods could help characterize the robustness of complete-case analyses to potential bias due to missing data.

Reservoir Computing in robotics: a review
Authors: Baldini Paolo
Published: June 2022

Reservoir Computing is a relatively new framework created to allow the usage of powerful but complex systems as computational mediums. The basic approach consists in training only a readout layer, exploiting the innate separation and transformation provided by the previous, untrained system. This approach has shown to possess great computational capabilities and is successfully used to achieve many tasks. This review aims to represent the current 'state-of-the-art' of the usage of Reservoir Computing techniques in the robotic field. An introductory description of the framework and its implementations is initially given. Subsequently, a summary of interesting applications, approaches, and solutions is presented and discussed. Considerations, ideas and possible future developments are proposed in the explanation.

Stratification in Parents’ Selection of Developmentally Appropriate Books for Children: Register-based Evidence from Danish Public Libraries
Authors: Blaabæk Ea Hoppe
Published: June 2022

This paper studies socioeconomic gradients in selecting developmentally appropriate children’s books from public libraries. I draw on research on developmental gradients in parental inputs to hypothesize that families with high socioeconomic status (SES) are more likely to select books that match children’s developmental stage in order to best improve children’s learning environments. In contrast to previous survey-based research, I use behavioral data on the actual books families have selected from libraries. Based on Danish registry data that cover all books borrowed from public libraries in 2020, I find that highly educated families are more likely to use libraries and borrow more books when they use libraries, but they do not select a larger share of developmentally appropriate books; in fact, they select a slightly lower share. In contrast, I find only a weak positive income gradient for the amount of books borrowed and the share of developmentally appropriate books. The supplementary analyses show that results are robust across families with children of different ages and to account for nonrandom selection into the sample of library users, socioeconomic differences in children’s reading skills, and the impact of library lockdowns due to Covid-19. I conclude that stratification in library book selection is more prominent concerning the voraciousness with which highly educated parents provide reading inputs (more books) than how discriminating they are in terms of selecting developmentally appropriate books.
