The Financial Crisis and Dodd-Frank
Authors: Jacoby Sanford M.
Published: May 2022

This chapter begins with the demise of Bear Stearns in March 2008, which was a dress rehearsal for events that would take place five months later, when the global financial system verged on a meltdown. Lehman Brothers went bankrupt; Bank of America had to rescue Merrill Lynch; Berkshire Hathaway did the same for Goldman Sachs; and Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae were put into receivership. The chapter reviews polls that showed that public confidence in Wall Street had reached its lowest levels in forty years. The chapter highlights the Great Recession, which was a disaster for working people and their retirement funds. A cause of many pension fund losses were collateralized debt obligations, which the funds first began to snap up in the early 2000s.
ML In Cross-Sectional Asset Pricing
Authors: Nagel Stefan
Published: May 2022

This chapter look at the underlying analytical framework that is based on Bayesian regression, reviewing a much broader set of covariates. It examines an application that uses a large set of stock characteristics that have appeared as return predictors in empirical asset pricing studies. Stock return prediction analyses in pre-machine learning (ML) literature that have looked at each of these stock characteristics in isolation, or only at small subsets of these characteristics at a time. The chapter aggregates stock returns into portfolios weighted by stock characteristics, which form the basis assets that span the investable universe. It incorporates the covariance matrix of characteristics portfolio that returns into the prior beliefs and the estimation approach.
The Trials of Orpheus
Authors: Mann Jenny C.
Published: May 2022

In ancient Greek mythology, the lyrical songs of Orpheus charmed the gods, and compelled animals, rocks, and trees to obey his commands. This mythic power inspired Renaissance philosophers and poets as they attempted to discover the hidden powers of verbal eloquence. They wanted to know: How do words produce action? This book examines the key role the Orpheus story played in helping early modern writers and thinkers understand the mechanisms of rhetorical force. The book demonstrates that the forms and figures of ancient poetry indelibly shaped the principles of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century scientific knowledge. It explores how Ovid's version of the Orpheus myth gave English poets and natural philosophers the lexicon with which to explain language's ability to move individuals without physical contact. These writers and thinkers came to see eloquence as an aesthetic force capable of binding, drawing, softening, and scattering audiences. Bringing together a range of examples from drama, poetry, and philosophy, the book demonstrates that the fascination with Orpheus produced some of the most canonical literature of the age. Delving into the impact of ancient Greek thought and poetry in the early modern era, the book sheds light on how the powers of rhetoric became a focus of English thought and literature.
Binding
Authors: Mann Jenny C.
Published: May 2022

This chapter focuses on the epistemological function of the Orpheus. It recovers the vestigial forms of ancient poetics within early modern thought by examining three mythic figures of the forceful action of energeia: Plato's image of a magnetized chain of rings, Lucian's emblem of the chain of Hercules Gallicus, and Ovid's myth of Orpheus. The chapter argues that these figures constitute a significant technique for making eloquence visible as an object of knowledge in the sixteenth century. The chapter also uses the term “figure” in the ancient sense of figura, that is, the perceptible form of an entity. It then discusses Francis Bacon's works, particularly The Wisdom of the Ancients (1609), which attest to the epistemological function of these mythic emblems of eloquence in early modern thought. The chapter investigates how Bacon's work confirms how the figure-making abilities of language both transmit the force of eloquence and enable philosophers to examine its operations.
Scattering
Authors: Mann Jenny C.
Published: May 2022

This chapter dwells on the enchainments of Orphic song, which operate as a force that, although it may be aestheticized and eroticized, remains violent in its dominations. The conclusion of Ovid's Orpheus myth—the dismemberment of the poet, the scattering of his body, and the fettering of the Bacchantes—make this violence abundantly clear. The chapter then presents the fragmented pieces of the Orpheus myth in Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus (1594) and The Rape of Lucrece (1594) which designate the scattering of Ovid's Orpheus as the transmission of poetry but at the price of dismemberment and rape. With the backward-turning force of the meander as well as the works of Titus and Lucrece, the chapter helps us see that Ovid's Orpheus myth has redefined the position of the eloquent poet, such that he is carried away by his own song, rendered a victim of its binding and scattering force. The chapter assesses how Shakespeare's trials of Orpheus expose the instability of the assumptions so often used to identify barbarous racial outsiders in the classical and early modern periods.
Exile and the Spanish Experiment
Authors: Renaud Terence
Published: May 2022

This chapter explores the culture of exile in antifascism in line with the Spanish Experiment. Exile politics involves a clash of age cohorts. In addition to targeting certain age groups, antifascists depended on international networks of solidarity. Social democrats in exile were anxious to establish themselves as the legitimate representatives of the German working class. Meanwhile, another type of exile was folk socialism in Central Europe. The Spanish Civil War functioned as a great moment of hope for the young generation angry at the apparent cynicism, indolence, and hypocrisy of an older generation.
Left Socialism
Authors: Renaud Terence
Published: May 2022

This chapter looks into left socialism. The process of social democratic modernization shifted the political terrain most clearly in West Germany, where the German Social Democratic Party erased class struggle from its party program. External pressures also shaped two other neoleftist phenomena in 1956, the British New Left and the French Nouvelle gauche. The issue of imperialism was paramount for Nouvelle gauche. French and British left socialists were diverse in ideology and social background and served as a bridge between past and future radicalisms. Moreover, Ossip K. Flechtheim starts a brand of critical utopian studies called futurology, while Wolfgang Abendroth welcomed political sociology.
Agents of Reform
Authors: Anderson Elisabeth
Published: May 2022

The beginnings of the modern welfare state are often traced to the late nineteenth-century labor movement and to policymakers' efforts to appeal to working-class voters. But this book shows that the regulatory welfare state began a half century earlier, in the 1830s, with the passage of the first child labor laws. The book tells the story of how middle-class and elite reformers in Europe and the United States defined child labor as a threat to social order, and took the lead in bringing regulatory welfare into being. They built alliances to maneuver around powerful political blocks and instituted pathbreaking new employment protections. Later in the century, now with the help of organized labor, they created factory inspectorates to strengthen and routinize the state's capacity to intervene in industrial working conditions. The book compares seven in-depth case studies of key policy episodes in Germany, France, Belgium, Massachusetts, and Illinois. Foregrounding the agency of individual reformers, the book challenges existing explanations of welfare state development and advances a new pragmatist field theory of institutional change. In doing so, it moves beyond standard narratives of interests and institutions toward an integrated understanding of how these interact with political actors' ideas and coalition-building strategies.

Authors: Octavianus Chris , Silalahi Imelda Hotmarisi , Gusrizal Gusrizal
Published: May 2022

Premna serratifolia Linn. leaf extract has been used as a reducing agent in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Various synthesis parameters such as reaction time, concentration and the pH of the Premna serratifolia Linn. leaf extract, and silver nitrate concentration were investigated. In addition, the stability of synthesized AgNPs and their activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli have also been investigated. The results of the experiment showed that Premna serratifolia Linn. leaf extract reduced silver ions resulting in AgNPs. In addition, the AgNPs colloid showed a gradual change in color from transparent green to yellow. At the same time, its ultraviolet (UV)-Visible spectra exhibited the typical surface plasmon resonance peak at around 400-415 nm. The optimum reaction conditions in the formation of AgNPs are 40 minutes of reaction time using silver nitrate 1.5x10-4 M and Premna serratifolia Linn leaf extract 80 ppm at pH 10. The particle size of synthesized AgNPs distributes from 48.3-157 nm with an average size of 58.7±14.4 nm and is stable at least for 1- month storage under ambient conditions. The antibacterial test shows that synthesized AgNPs are effective against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

A Marxist Reading of Lorraine Hansberry’s a Raisin in the Sun (1959)
Authors: Alaqeel Ohood
Published: May 2022

This article investigates the political and social background of Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun through the lens of Marxist theory. By asserting the thought that above all her commitments, Hansberry was devoted to the struggle for the progress of the human race. However, she recognized that this struggle had to be made according to the specific terms dictated by the time and country in which one lived. Her actions and writings left little doubt about what kinds of the stand she wanted her fellow humans to take in America in her day. The main question this article investigates is: How does Hansberry who is known to be Marxist in her views on life and art, employ this symbolic play to tackle the social concerns from the standpoint of her ideology? To argue this point from a Marxist point of view, this study pays more attention to Hansberry’s battle with the ideology of the dominant class in the United States and provides many quotes by Hansberry that demonstrate this argument. Consequently, the importance of this article is that it theorizes an alternative account of modernity and attempts to mount an operational critique against modernity and modernization.
Last-Survivor Insurance Premium and Benefit Reserve Calculation using Gamma-Gompertz Mortality Law
Authors: Ruhiyat Ruhiyat , Erliana Windiani , Lamberto Kenzi , Ardelia Elsie
Published: May 2022

When the insurance benefit of a last-survivor insurance product is payable at the moment of the last insured death, exploring continuous mortality models is essential to obtain the most appropriate premium and benefit reserve. In this study, Gamma-Gompertz mortality law was applied to Indonesian population mortality data at adulthood and old age stages to calculate the annual gross premium and gross benefit reserve of a whole life last survivor insurance product. The annual gross premium was computed using the actuarial equivalence principle. Results show that the older the policyholders purchase the product, the higher the annual gross premium they must pay. The gross benefit reserve needed to be set by the insurance company for the whole life last survivor insurance product was calculated using the prospective method. Its value grows for each valuation year until it approaches the insurance benefit amount.

El envejecimiento de la población ha generado un peculiar escenario social que crece día a día de manera sostenida y se expande en el mundo muy rápidamente: la gerontoglobalizacion y el multigeneracionismo concomitante. Desde el punto de vista jurídico, este fenómeno no siempre conlleva la posibilidad de vivir en igualdad de condiciones que todos los demás. El viejismo es un tipo particular de discriminación por razones de edad (edadismo). En este trabajo, se analiza el alcance jurídico de este fenómeno, las condiciones de su configuración y el impacto que ello tiene en el ejercicio de derechos y en los procesos judiciales requeridos para su restitución.
“Eles não podem me proibir de existir aqui também”
Authors: De Faria Viana Nogueira Fernanda
Published: May 2022

Ao olhar para os corpos dos homens gays que participaram da pesquisa em Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, uma outra perspectiva de entendimento da existência na cidade se sobressalta: a internet. Sendo apresentada como um importante espaço em que a construção de suas identidades também se faz como disputa de afetos, representatividade e tensões, a internet é vivida aqui como uma pulsante ambiguidade. Assim como, nas experiências vividas na cidade, a internet é vivenciada por esses gays como, ao mesmo passo, violentamente enclausurante e uma possibilidade de subversão, de refúgio. Nessa perspectiva experienciada com os interlocutores da pesquisa na qual se situa e é discutida este trabalho, a internet e a cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes se encontrame se fazem em um enlace contínuo, reverberando os caminhos e as complexidades de se constituir enquanto homem gay entre a cidade e a internet.
Monitoração eletrônica de pessoas em âmbito penal: considerações sobre o transcurso da tecnologia
Authors: Wermuth Maiquel Ângelo Dezordi , Chini Mariana
Published: May 2022

Na pesquisa delinearam-se considerações sobre a tecnologia de monitoração eletrônica de pessoas em âmbito penal, estando a problemática voltada ao questionamento: a medida de monitoração eletrônica no Brasil tem o condão de oferecer mais liberdade aos apenados ou oferece maior nível de controle? A hipótese inicial é a de que, apesar das possibilidades de liberdade teoricamente dispostas em torno da monitoração eletrônica de pessoas, o limiar de controle que se estabelece, na prática, supera as prometidas vantagens do instituto. Para analisar a viabilidade desta hipótese, estabeleceram-se duas seções na investigação: a primeira, relativa aos aspectos iniciais da monitoração eletrônica de pessoas em âmbito penal, bem como às possibilidades que já aparecem no horizonte de futuro da medida; e a segunda, referente à realidade do dispositivo no Brasil, levando-se em consideração a manifesta oposição entre horizontes de liberdade e fronteiras de controle. Em termos metodológicos, utilizou-se abordagem hipotético-dedutiva e conduziram-se análises bibliográfica, legislativa e jurisprudencial. A título de considerações finais, depreendeu-se a confirmação da hipótese inicial, compreendendo-se que a esfera de controle da tecnologia de monitoração eletrônica no Brasil supera as possibilidades de liberdade. Não obstante, propôs-se um horizonte de possibilidade para a expansão de liberdades e (re)socialização aos indivíduos monitorados, a partir da efetivação de garantias fundamentais por meio de acesso a políticas públicas.

Gamification and Motivation
Authors: Ede Shane
Published: May 2022

The author of the report looks at research describing self-determination theory, gamification, and the effects that both have on the motivation of learners. The structure of motivation within the framework of self-determination theory and how that structure may be applied to gamification is discussed. An examination of research done on motivational effects of gamification including both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations is done based on the research presented. The author concludes there is evidence that properly implemented gamification that takes into account the framework of motivation within self-determination theory can increase the motivation of learners, but there is little research into what that proper implementation looks like. Further research into the practical application of gamification and longitudinal studies of the effects of gamification are suggested.
Physiological and pathophysiological role of endocrine fibroblast growth factors
Authors: Łukawska Agata , Mulak Agata
Published: May 2022

The endocrine subfamily of fibroblast growth factors (FGF) includes three factors: FGF19, FGF21, FGF23. They act on distal tissues through FGF receptors (FGFRs). The FGFR activation requires two cofactors: α- and β-Klotho, which are structurally related single-pass transmembrane proteins. The endocrine FGFs regulate various metabolic processes involved in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism as well as bile acid circulation, vitamin D modulation, and phosphate homeostasis. The FGF-FGFR dysregulation is widely implicated in the pathogenesis of various disorders. Significant alterations in plasma FGF concentration are associated with the most prevalent chronic diseases, including dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, diseases of the biliary tract, chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, osteomalacia, various malignancies, and depression. Therefore, the endocrine FGFs may serve as disease predictors or biomarkers, as well as potential therapeutic targets. Currently, numerous analogues and inhibitors of endocrine FGFs are under development for treatment of various disorders, and recently, a human monoclonal antibody against FGF23 has been approved for treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemia. The aim of this review is to summarize the current data on physiological and pathophysiological actions of the endocrine FGF subfamily and recent research concerning the therapeutic potential of the endocrine FGF pathways.

Coping with stress of mothers of children with disorders belonging to autism spectrum
Authors: Świerczyńska Justyna , Pawłowska Beata
Published: May 2022

Introduction:The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between coping styles in mothers of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the severity of their children’s symptoms.

Material and method:The study included a group of 70 women raising children with a medical diagnosis of ASD. The children with the aforementioned pervasive developmental disorders were from 5 to 16 years old and were patients of the Mental Health Centre in Kielce, Poland. A study involved: our own survey; the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) by R. Goodman; the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) questionnaire by Endler and Parker; the Sense of Coherence Scale SOC-29 by Antonovsky; the Set of Questionnaires for the Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASRS) by S. Goldstein and J. A. Naglieri.

Results:The mothers’ preference for emotion-focused and avoidance coping styles was found to correlate significantly with their low sense of coherence and the severity of their child’s ASD symptoms measured with ASRS and SDQ.

Conclusions:1. Emotion-focused and avoidance coping styles were associated with a low sense of coherence in the surveyed women. 2. The mothers’ preference for emotion-focused and avoidance coping styles was associated with increased ASD symptoms, more severe emotional and behavioral deficits and poorer peer interactions in their children. 3. The mothers’ preference for problem-focused coping correlated with a low severity of their children’s social and communication deficits.
Measuring Accounting Conservatism in Financial Reports: A Comparison Between France and the United Kingdom
Authors: Kimouche Bilal
Published: May 2022

Accounting conservatism is necessary for more reliability and verifiability in financial reports. Studies have reported mixed results concerning the comparative level of conservatism across countries, especially the celebrated comparison between the common law and code law countries. Therefore, this study is an attempt to reinvestigate accounting conservatism in French and UK companies, using 110 French companies and 105 UK companies during the period 2011-2019. Accounting conservatism was measured depending on the asymmetric accruals-to-cash flows because it does not rely on market information and its fluctuations. The results document a greater level of conservatism in UK companies compared to French companies, which confirms the findings of several previous studies concluding that companies in common law countries are more conservative than those from code law countries. The results of this study have many implications for different parties affecting the financial information environment, especially auditors who must continuously monitor conservatism practices in financial reports to maintain an adequate level.

Технологічний прогрес має трансформуючий ефект та значно впливає на формування нових умов існування людини, таким чином створюється новий простір – техносфера. Технічні об’єкти щільно входять в життя сучасної людини та утворюють самостійну систему відносин, що надає людині властивість суб’єктності. Ця теза стала необхідною для розуміння філософії техніки Бернара Стиглера, який слідом за Сімондоном визнає технічні об’єкти неорганічно організованим сущим, яке має свою власну динаміку, яка не зводиться до фізики та біології. Стиглер продовжує працювати над постановкою питання про техніку та пропонує новий метод осмислення світу в технологічну еру. Визнаючи всі виклики епохи і вступаючи в дебати про антропоцен, філософ виступає за активне його перетворення в те, що він називає «негантропоценом». Бернара Стиглер висуває новий філософський проект – негантропологію як виклик сучасності, і постулює свою основну тезу: негантропологія повинна сприяти появі негантропоцена. Для цього він вводить поняття ентропії і негентропії та зазнає, що у той час як ентропія означає поступове розкладання Всесвіту, що розглядається як замкнута система, негентропія – це властивість системи, яка бореться з ентропією. Негантропоцен, тим самим, виступає переоцінкою цінностей, служить виходом з ентропійного розладу антропоцену через новий рівень уваги і відповідальності.
РІЗНІ НАУКОВІ КОНЦЕПЦІЇ ВИВЧЕННЯ ЧАСУ ЯК ОБ’ЄКТИВНОЇ РЕАЛЬНОСТІ, ЩО ОПОСЕРЕДКОВУЄ РУХ МАТЕРІЇ
Authors: ГУЙВАН Петро
Published: May 2022

Дана стаття присвячена актуальному питанню про вивчення часового руху матерії як постійно триваючого процесу переміщення об’єктивних явищ від минулого до майбутнього. Воно є надзвичайно важливим, бо в соціально-економічному плані символізує соціальне правило, за яким процес розвитку суспільства прямо пропорційний цінності часу як важливого фактору ефективності поступу. Тож, у роботі автором ставилася мета з’ясувати темпоральні прояви буття, як вони усвідомлюються конкретною особистістю, які методи пізнання часового руху у світовій доктрині найбільш прийнятні та яке значення часу, його роль та прояви в оточуючій реальності. При дослідженні вказаного питання використовувалися загальнонаукові та спеціально-наукові методи пізнання, зокрема діалектичний, формально-логічний та порівняльний. Наукова новизна. Розглянуті та оцінені окремі концепції вивчення часу, які, маючи різні засадничі підвалини та ґрунтуючись на певних еволюційних уявленнях про час упродовж розвитку пізнання природи, виходили з не однакових засад щодо природи руху як категорії часу. Зокрема, субстанційна концепція використовує поняття часу як певну особливого роду субстанцію, яка об’єктивно існує в природі поряд із простором, речовиною тощо. Простір і час є незалежними від матерії сутностями – субстанціями. Відповідно до протилежної – реляційної наукової концепції час то не певний «сам по собі» незалежний перебіг та не окреме незалежне явище – субстанція. Це конкретна фізична властивість фізичного тіла та змін, які з ним відбуваються. Також у праці порівняно основні тези статичної та динамічної концепцій часу, позаяк вони постулюють різні підходи до принципового питання про взаємне співставлення таких визначальних категорій як час і буття. Окремо досліджена така ознака часу, як його однонаправленність та незворотність. Висновки. У прийнятому нами усвідомленні часовий перебіг завжди відбувається у напрямку від минулого до майбутнього. Разом з тим, перебіг часу від минулого до майбутнього одночасно означає перетікання конкретних подій матеріального світу із майбутнього через сучасність в минуле.

Failure of critical engine components such as compressor, fan, and turbine disks during flight can cause the loss of the engine, aircraft, or even life. To reduce the risk of this failure during flight, different methodologies and tools have been developed to determine the safe operating life of these critical disk components. The two most widely used lifing methods, safe-life and damage tolerance, are inherently conservative, retiring all components when a predetermined operating limit is reached. Both methods retire components with theoretical useful life remaining. Additional lifing methods can be used to reduce this conservatism and extend the life of these components. Retirement for cause, developed within the United States Air Force is a lifing method that can extend the life of components by retiring a component only when there is cause to do so. Military and industry standards on lifing methodologies were reviewed. Both deterministic and probabilistic approaches to disk lifing methods are discussed as well as current tools. This paper provides a comparison of the methodologies and tools currently being used today by both the government and industry.
Military cooperation of Russia with the Syrian Arab Republic as an instrument of the Russia's New Middle East Policy (2000-2008)
Authors: Khizhnyak Anastasiya Vladimirovna
Published: May 2022

The article examines the key aspects of military-technical cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Syrian Arab Republic in the first two terms of Vladimir Putin's tenure as President of Russia. Relations between Moscow and Damascus in the sphere of arms and special equipment supplies are considered in the general context of the updated foreign policy of the Russian Federation, initiated by Vladimir Putin, and which implied, among other things, the return of Russia's position as an active geopolitical player in the Middle East. Having long-standing political and economic ties with Moscow, Syria was rightly considered by the Russian leadership as the most suitable ally in solving the task mentioned above. Analyzing the history of supplies to Syria of the main articles of Russian military products, the author comes to the conclusion that during the period under review, Moscow managed to lay a new solid foundation for bilateral relations, even though it had to be done to a certain extent with an eye to the position of other regional players and, above all, the countries of the collective West. When building its political course towards the SAR in the period under review, the Kremlin adhered primarily to the principle of restraint and pragmatism, taking into account the realities of international relations in the Middle East region and setting as its main goal the counteraction of the hegemonic claims of the United States, which sought to turn this already conflictogenic point of the planet into a zone of "controlled chaos".
An unusual case of two spinal level diastematomyelia with cord tethering
Authors: Riaz Tahira , Riaz Saood Ahmed
Published: May 2022

Diastematomyelia at two spinal levels is a rare disease. And also, a dorsal and lumbosacral spur along with cord tethering and spina bifida has been rarely reported in the literature. Diastematomyelia is a rare congenital anomaly that results in the “splitting” of the spinal cord in a longitudinal direction. It occurs in the presence of an osseous (bone), cartilaginous, or fibrous septum in the central portion of the spinal cord which then produces a complete or incomplete sagittal division of the spinal cord into two hemicords. When the split does not reunite distally to the spur, the condition is referred to as a diplomyelia, or true duplication of the spinal cord. In this study, we will report a 16 months’ old girl who was diagnosed with spina bifida during her intrauterine life and underwent division of bony spur at D10 to D11 and L4 to L5 and detethering of cord with intra-operative monitoring on day at 1 year and 6 months’ of age.

Objectives:

The objectives of the study were as follows: 1. To determine the effect of reconditioning exercise program on hospital-acquired deconditioning in elderly hospitalized patients. 2. To compare the conventional therapy and reconditioning exercise program training on the hospital-acquired deconditioning in elderly hospitalized patients.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty-two elderly hospitalized patients from the inpatient hospital setup were randomly allocated into two groups. Group A received conventional therapy and Group B received reconditioning exercise program. Outcome assessment was done using the visual analog scale, manual muscle testing, spirometry, and range of motion. Later, both the protocols were implemented 5 times a week for a total period of 4 weeks, that is, a total of 20 sessions.

Results:

Statistically significance was found to be present in Group B in terms of pain (P < 0.0001), respiratory capacities (P = 0.033), muscle strength (P = 0.025), and joint range of motion (P = 0.027).

Conclusion:

Reconditioning program shows significant improvement and is also beneficial in the reduction of pain, improving muscle strength and range of motion, and also in increasing lung capacities in hospital-acquired deconditioning in hospitalized elderly patients.
