Measuring Economic Reform Recommendations under the European Semester: ‘One Size Fits All’ or Tailoring to Member States?
Authors: D'Erman Valerie , Haas Jörg , Schulz Daniel F. , Verdun Amy
Published: May 2019

In 2010 the European Semester was created to better coordinate fiscal and economic policies within Europe’s Economic and Monetary Union. The Semester aims to tackle economic imbalances by giving European Union (EU) member states country-specific recommendations (CSRs) regarding their public budgets as well as their wider economic and social policies with a view to enabling better policy coordination among Euro Area member states. In this article we develop a method to assess the way in which the CSRs have been addressing coordination and offer a systematic analysis of the way they have been formulated. We offer a way to code CSRs as well as one to analyse progress evaluations. Furthermore, we seek to use our results to address one of the reoccurring questions in the literature: whether the EU is pursuing a ‘one size fits all’ approach to economic policy making in the Euro Area? The findings indicate that different types of market economies and welfare states – different ‘varieties of capitalism’ – among the Euro Area members obtain different recommendations regarding different policy areas

Authors: Savitri Dewi Nurul
Published: May 2019

The Indonesian Supreme Court and the Indonesian Constitutional Court are experienced in examining international treaties, although the Indonesian constitution and national laws do not stipulate this matter explicitly. The Constitutional Council of France has the authority to examine judicial previews of bills concerning international treaties. Moreover, French judges can examine international treaties. There is also the European Court of Human Rights, which has an important role concerning the control of conventionality. This article aims to promote discussion about the examination of international treaty cases in Indonesia. It begins by considering the international scholarly literature on integrating international treaties and the rank of international treaties in the national legal system. Then, this article discusses the possibility of the Indonesian Constitutional Court to examine judicial preview of international treaty bills and judicial reviews concerning ratified international treaties.

Published: May 2019

Introduction.Part of the population working at carcinogenic enterprises is exposed to double exposure to carcinogens (in industrial and domestic conditions), however, studies to assess the total inhalation exposure is practically not carried out.

The aim of the studyis hygienic assessment of the contribution of working environment factors to the formation of individual carcinogenic risk (ICR) for workers in the main professions in the car repair company, including the assessment of the predicted values of occupational risks in the dynamics of work experience.

Materials and methods. There was the calculation of the levels of ICR for workers of the main professions in the wagon wheel, wagon meintenance, wagon assembly workshops. The assessment of exposure for workers is given on long-term average concentrations in the air of the working area and on average annual concentrations in the atmospheric air. When calculating the doses of toxicants in the air of the working area, «standard» parameters of pulmonary ventilation for an adult, body weight, work experience in contact with carcinogenic substances — from 1 to 30 years, the number of days in contact — 240, working time — 8 hours (in accordance with the duration of the working day) were used.

Results.Workers of major occupations carcinogenic enterprise levels ICR differ in dozens of times. Calculation of ICR at 30-year work experience showed that in all studied main and auxiliary professions the total ICR was in the 4th range (more than 1,0·10–3). Unacceptable values for the predicted ICR for the professions of «painter», «locksmith-electrician», «impregnator», «mechanic of rolling stock» begin with a 5-year work experience, the least carcinogenic is the work of a tinker, whose risk reaches an unacceptable level after 20 years of the work experience. Among the most dangerous jobs should be attributed to the wagon assembly workshop. In contribution to the ICR the leading carcinogens are benzene, nickel, formaldehyde.

Conclusions:The problems of monitoring carcinogens in the production environment, expert assessments to prove the professional genesis of malignant neoplasms were considered; it is noted that the rank number of carcinogenic professions of wagon repair production is as follows: painter, electrician, impregnator, mechanic of rolling stock.
Psychological features of patients with vibration disease in the post-contact period
Authors: Kuleshova Marina V. , Pankov Vladimir A.
Published: May 2019

Introduction. Vibration disease (VD) occupies a leading place in the overall structure of chronic occupational pathology. High sensitivity to environmental influences, instability of emotional state, hypochondriac features, rigid stereotype of behavior, propensity to depressive states, dissatisfaction with the state which is often considered by patients as disability are revealed in patients with VD. However, there is almost no information about the psychoemotional state of patients in the post-exposure period.

The aim of the study was to study the psychological status of patients with VD in the post-exposure period.

Materials and methods. The studies were performed in patients with VD from exposure to local vibration in a connected sample (n=20), including the post-exposure period. For the evaluation of psychological status were used: «Scale of assessment of the level of reactive and personal anxiety», an adapted version of the Minnesota multi-factor personal questionnaire (MMPQ), «Lifestyle index «, the variants of coping behavior was investigated using the methodology of E. Heim.

Results. Moderate level of reactive and high level of personal anxiety was revealed in patients with post-exposure period. The MMPQ profile throughout the study period is characterized by a neurotic slope. Patients with VD in the post-exposure period more often use relatively adaptive forms of cognitive strategies, the constructiveness of which depends on the significance and severity of the overcoming situation. Among the options for emotional coping is dominated by adaptive forms. A wide range of behavioral strategies, both constructive and non — constructive, was revealed in patients with post-exposure period; there is a relatively narrow range of intense mechanisms of psychological protection, which are represented by their protective forms — «denial», «displacement», «intellectualization» and «reactive formations».

Conclusions: The studies show the persistence in the post-exposure period, previously identified in patients with VD of psychological problems that fi t into the framework developed the theory of sensory conflict of Siberian Institute of Medical and Ecological Research, when developing long-term adaptive and non-adaptive reaction is complete the formation of the maladaptive psychological states. In the system of prevention of occupational pathology from the effects of vibration, it is necessary to provide measures of psycho-hygienic and psycho- prevention orientation for psychological adaptation of patients.

Published: May 2019

Introduction. The issues of studying the central nervous system (CNS) damage under the influence of mercury remain relevant at the present time.

The aim of the study was to identify the relationship of dissomnic and psychological disorders in patients in the remote post-exposure period of chronic mercury intoxication (ChMI) and to substantiate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme of their therapy.

Materials and methods. The study involved 30 patients in the long-term period with occupational chronic mercury intoxication (CHMI) and 30 patients in the control group (CG), with complaints of sleep disorders without chronic expressed diseases, not in contact with toxic production factors in professional activity, 84 men — residents of the Irkutsk region from the comparison group to assess the health-related quality of life comparable with patients in social and living conditions and not in contact with harmful production factors. A set of clinical, neurophysiological, psychological and statistical methods was used in study.

Results. Based on the data of polysomnographic examination revealed differences in the nature and severity of insomnia in patients of these groups. Confirmed the mixed nature of insomniatic disorders in patients with chronic mercury intoxication. Patients CG revealed changes in the structure of night sleep has focused on intracomesa violations. It was found that patients with CHMI suffer from a more severe form of insomnia compared to patients with CG, which is confirmed by the data of medical and psychological testing. High rates of reactive and personal anxiety, moderate levels of depression and asthenic state, as well as low values of estimates on all scales of health-related quality of life (HRQL), including the total physical and mental components, were revealed in patients with CRMI. Research’s scales HRQL in patients CG with sleep disorders did not reveal any significant differences compared with those in the comparison group, indicating medium and high levels of overall quality of life.

Conclusions. The adequacy of the use of a complex of therapeutic and preventive measures, including two main methods of treatment of insomnia disorders, is proved by improving the quality and quantity of sleep structure and emotional and personal sphere.

No evidence for any effect of multiple sessions of frontal transcranial direct stimulation on mood in healthy older adults
Authors: Freidle Malin , Nilsson Jonna , Lebedev Alexander V. , Lövdén Martin
Published: May 2019

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is part of a network important for emotional regulation and the possibility of modulating activity in this region with transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) to change mood has gained great interest, particularly for application in clinical populations. Whilst results in major depressive disorder have been promising, less is known about the effects of TDCS on mood in non-clinical populations. We hypothesized that multiple sessions of anodal TDCS applied over the left DLPFC would enhance mood, primarily as measured by the Profile of Mode States questionnaire, in healthy older adults. In addition, in an exploratory analysis, we examined the potentially moderating role of working memory training. Working memory, just like emotional regulation, taxes the DLPFC, which suggests that engaging in a working memory task whilst receiving TDCS may have a different effect on activity in this region and consequently mood. A total of 123 participants between 65 and 75 years of age were randomly assigned to receive either 20 sessions of TDCS, with or without working memory training, or 20 sessions sham stimulation, with or without working memory training. We found no support for enhancement of mood due to TDCS in healthy older adults, with or without cognitive training.

Flaws in Spectral Ripple Stimuli for Listeners with Cochlear Implants
Authors: Winn Matthew , O'Brien Gabrielle
Published: May 2019

ObjectivesSpectral resolution is an important aspect of hearing speech accurately, and a known limiting factor in cochlear implants (CIs). The spectral ripple discrimination task is a psychophysical measure that has been found to correlate with word recognition, music perception, and various aspects of CI processing. It was hypothesized that the limited spectral sampling of CI processors would distort the output of spectral ripple stimuli in ways that could be problematic for their use in CI research. DesignIdealized acoustic ripple spectra were analyzed through synthetic filters matched to CI processor channels, and the output was examined for spectral density and modulation depth cross a wide range of inputs. Existing data showing correlations between ripple discrimination and speech recognition were re-analyzed with special consideration of scores above the spectral aliasing limit. ResultsThe analysis revealed numerous complicating factors in the transmission of spectral ripples through CIs, including spectral aliasing and modulation depth neutralization. These unintended distortions are nonlinear in nature, with the consequence that spectral ripple thresholds above a certain number cannot be ordered monotonically along a single parametric axis/dimension. For the Cochlear device, the critical limit for spectral aliasing is around 2.1 RPO, and the critical limit for modulation saturation is about 3.5 RPO. Neither limitation is remediated by changing stimulus phase. Changes in modulation depth are limited by the single channel with the narrowest input filter octave-scaled bandwidth (channel 9 in the Cochlear device). Correlations between ripple discrimination and various measures of speech recognition are improved when high ripple scores are dismissed or winsorized. An additional difficulty with interpreting discrimination thresholds is that ripple stimuli often do not match the spectral characteristics of modulations found in actual speech sounds.ConclusionsThe authors conclude that the practice of identifying the highest spectral density at which ripple phase inversion can be detected should be abandoned because (1) it lacks the well-behaved mathematical properties a psychophysical experimenter requires, and (2) high spectral densities are a poor representation of ecologically-relevant cues. Alternative testing strategies (ripple depth detection, ripple phase shift, acoustic-phonetic cue perception) should be taken, with the specific consideration of real speech acoustics in their development.
The Co-development of Extraversion and Friendships: Bonding and Behavioral Mechanisms in Friendship Networks
Authors: van Zalk Maarten , Nestler Steffen , Geukes Katharina , Hutteman Roos , Back Mitja
Published: May 2019

Empirical evidence suggests that people select friends whose extraversion is similar to their own (selection effects). However, little is known about whether friends influence extraversion development (influence effects) and about the interaction mechanisms that underlie friendship selection and influence effects. We examined whether selection and influence effects explain similarity in extraversion between friends in two independent samples. Similarity in extraversion predicted a higher likelihood of friendship selection across four years in Sample 1 (n = 1,698; Mage = 22.72, SD = 2.99; 49% female) and across a period of 16 weeks in Sample 2 (n = 131; Mage = 21.34, SD = 3.95; 77% female). Friends’ extraversion predicted increases in young adults’ extraversion in both samples. In Sample 2, we examined the interaction mechanisms underlying these selection and influence effects by combining event-based experience-sampling network dynamics with diary data on friendship network and extraversion dynamics. Findings showed that (a) similarity in extraversion predicted positive interaction quality changes and (b) positive interaction quality predicted friendship selection (bonding mechanism). In the same sample, (I) friends’ extraversion predicted friends’ sociable behavior changes, (II) friends’ sociable behavior predicted young adults’ sociable behavior changes, and (III) young adults’ sociable behavior predicted extraversion changes (behavioral mimicry mechanism). These findings provide unique insight into interaction mechanisms underlying longitudinal links between friendships and extraversion.
Cognitive skills and decision-making are related to distinct facets of trait mindfulness
Authors: Bui Tung , Dittmann Neil , Hobgood Kaleb , Schmitzer-Torbert Neil
Published: May 2019

Objective: Mindfulness has been an active area of research focused on the potential links to health. Recent work has also established that trait mindfulness is also related to cognition and decision-making. The present study tested the relationship between dimensions of trait mindfulness and measures of perception, cognition, and decision-making. Method: Forty-three undergraduate males and 126 online participants (54 females) completed a perceptual accuracy task, Stroop task, and surveys assessing five facets of trait mindfulness, problem solving, decentering, and mental health measures (stress, depression, anxiety). Results: Overall, only a subset of mindfulness facets were related to performance on the perceptual accuracy and Stroop tasks, partially replicating previous reports. Similarly, a subset of mindfulness dimensions was related to ethical decision-making and problem-solving success. In contrast, measures of poor mental health (stress, worry, depression) were non-specifically related to the majority of mindfulness facets. Relationships between mental health measures, but not measures of cognition and decision-making, were mediated by decentering. One exception was perceptual accuracy, which was related to several mindfulness facets, and mediated by decentering.Conclusions: Our findings indicate that separable dimensions of mindfulness are specifically related to distinct cognitive skills and decision-making, and that these relationships are largely distinct from those between mindfulness and psychological health.
Contributions of declarative and procedural memory to accuracy and automatization during L2 practice
Authors: Pili-Moss Diana , Schuetz Katherine , Faretta-Stutenberg Mandy , Morgan-Short Kara
Published: May 2019

Extending previous research that has examined the relationship between long-term memory and second language (L2) development with a primary focus on accuracy on L2 outcomes, the current study explores the relationship between declarative and procedural memory and accuracy and automatization during L2 practice. Adult English native speakers had learned an artificial language over two weeks (Morgan-Short, Faretta-Stutenberg, Brill-Schuetz, Carpenter, & Wong, 2014), producing four sessions of practice data that had not been analyzed previously. Mixed-effects models analyses revealed that declarative memory was positively related to accuracy during comprehension practice. No other relationships were evidenced for accuracy. For automatization, measured by the coefficient of variation (Segalowitz, 2010), the model revealed a positive relationship with procedural memory that became stronger over practice for learners with higher declarative memory but weaker for learners with lower declarative memory. These results provide further insight into the role that long-term memory plays during L2 development.
CCLEO: The Effect of Gender, Subjective Social Status and Big Five Personality Traits on Achievement and Attendance in a Lecture-Based Undergraduate Psychology Module
Authors: Hentschel Johanna
Published: May 2019

Background: Whilst intelligence has long been known to influence academic success, many other factors also have an effect. Identifying and understanding which factors influence academic performance and engagement is vital for improving higher education teaching.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between two sets of variables. Set 1 consisted of grades and attendance and set 2 consisted of gender,subjective social status and the Big Five personality factors.Methods: For this reason, 47 undergraduate psychology students (89.4% female) were recruited at the University of Bradford. Participants filled out an online questionnaireconsisting of the Big Five Inventory, the MacArthur Scale of Subjective Social Status and a question regarding gender. Grade and attendance data for one university module wereobtained from the university data archive. A canonical correlation analysis was carried out on SPSS.Results: Neither of the canonical functions were found to be significant. The results indicated that there were no significant relationships between set 1 (grades and attendance) and set 2 (gender, subjective social status and personality factors).Conclusion: These results did not confirm the hypotheses and contradict previous research. However, it is likely that the small sample size and imbalance of gender in the sample influenced, if not caused these findings. The implications of this study and considerations for future research are discussed.

hastaları oral forma değiştirerek kısa dönem sonuçlarını sunmayı amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem:
Çalışmamıza merkezimizde en az 3 aydır hemodiyaliz programında olan ve tek
nefrolog tarafından tedavileri düzenlenen 115 hasta dahil edildi. Son 3 aydır i.v.
kalsitrol kullanan, malnütrisyonu, aktif enfeksiyonu, uzun süre hastane yatışı
gerektirecek tıbbi bir sorunu olmayan, haftada 3 kez 4 saat hemodiyaliz
seanslarına uyumu tam olan hastalar dahil edildi. Son 3 ay içerisinde hedef PTH
150-600 pg/ml, fosfor < 5,6 mg/dl, kalsiyum < 9,5mg/dl altında olacak
şekilde KDIGO 2012 kılavuzlarına göre i.v. kalsitrol dozları düzenlenmişti ve
bu dozlar yine mevcut parametrelere göre oral formlara değiştirildi. Hastalar 3
ay izlendi. 3 aylık ortalama kalsiyum, fosfor, PTH, KTV, albümin, hemoglonin,
alkalen fosfataz (ALP), c-reaktif protein, kalsiyum x fosfor değerleri i.v. ve
oral formlar arasında karşılaştırıldı. Veri kümeleri S.P.S.S versiyon 17 paket
programı kullanılarak değerlendirildi. p<0,05 (%95 güven aralığında) anlamlı
fark olarak kabul edildi.Bulgular:
Çalışma 25 erkek (%56,8), 19 (%43,2) kadın toplam 44 hasta ile tamamlandı.
Hemodiyaliz hastalarının yaklaşık % 56’sı D vitamini almaktaydı. Oral D
vitamini kullanımı % 0 idi. 3 aylık izlem sonunda i.v. formdan oral forma geçiş
ile serum PTH, kalsiyum ve fosfor değerlerinde istatistiksel anlamlı bir
değişim olmadı.  Sonuç

Hemodiyaliz
hastalarında D vitamini eksiliği veya sekonder hiperparatiroidinin tedavisinde D
vitamini replasmanı yapılmaktadır. Güncel kılavuzlarda i.v. D vitaminin oral
forma güvenlik ve etkinlik olarak üstün olmadığı vurgulanmakla birlikte çeşitli
nedenlerle klinik pratikte iv form tercih edilmektedir. Çalışmamızda i.v.
kalsitrol formları oral formlara değiştirildi ve kısa dönem sonuçlarının benzer
olduğu gösterildi. Daha pahalı olan i.v. formların oral forma değiştirilmesi
etkili, güvenilir ve maliyet etkin bulundu. Uygun hastalarda göz önünde
bulundurulmalıdır.

Lettuce is one of the most suitable plant species to grow indoor or in a Plant Factory with Artificial lighting (PFAL) system, due to its short height and the relatively low light saturation point. Red lettuces are highly cultivated in PFALs, highly appreciated for its unique pigmentation and antioxidant activity, especially, the anthocyanin content that gives it the red color. However, red lettuces cultivated with PFAL in controlled environments face the challenge of having low anthocyanin content due of the lack of ultraviolet (UV) light that is necessary for its production. In this study, two red-lettuce cultivars ‘Annapolis’ and ‘Salanova’ were grown in a plant factory with LEDs (light-emitting diode) and UV light treatments to compare their growth trajectory and nutritional characteristics. Other characteristics such as Fresh Weight (FW) and total leaf area were measured to evaluate the influence of UV light in the lettuce growth. The nutritional quality of lettuces was assessed by measuring anthocyanins and polyphenols contents using a microplate reader and their ascorbic acid content measured via a reflectometer. Fresh Weight (FW), leaf area and leaf thickness under the conditions of this study, showed no effect (p>0.05) on the plants growth with the incorporation of UV radiation. However, the incorporation of UV light increased the functional components in ‘Annapolis’ and ‘Salanova’ lettuces. The polyphenol and anthocyanins contents in both lettuce cultivars showed significant differences (p<0.05). For ascorbic acid content, a significant difference was found only for ‘Annapolis’ lettuce. The incorporation of UV light can increase the functional ingredients such as polyphenols and anthocyanins without growth suppression for ‘Salanova’ cultivar. UV light increased polyphenol and anthocyanins contents in both cultivars, making them suitable cultivars for PFAL under the growth conditions used in this experiment. These results taken together can be used to improve the accumulation of functional ingredients in red lettuces without growth suppression incorporating UV light and that could be suitable for production in PFALs.

The article analyzes the current level of corruption as a threat to Russia’s economic security. By the method of generalization of the provisions of the legislation, the features of corruption in Russia in the context of economic security are studied, the characteristic of corruption crimes is given. The dynamics of the corruption perception Index in the Russian Federation for 2015-2017 published by Transparency International is studied. Economic and statistical methods of data processing and analysis studied the indicators of corruption in Russia in 2015-2017 on the basis of official data. The value of damage to the country’s economy from corruption is revealed. The dynamics and structure of penalties for corruption crimes in Russia in 2015-2017 are studied on the basis of the generalization of data of the General Prosecutor’s office and Judicial Department at the Supreme court of Russia. Based on the calculation and analysis of the economic security indicators of the Russian Federation for 2015-2017, the impact of corruption on the economic security of the country is assessed. The level of economic security in the country under the influence of the mechanism of corruption is revealed. Methods of positive and normative approaches, abstract-logical and systemic approaches have revealed the directions of the negative impact of corruption on the economic security of the country. The mechanism of influence of corruption on economic security of Russia is presented by graphic method. The social danger of corruption in Russia is that it has a destructive, destabilizing effect on all state institutions and impedes the progressive development of the global legal order. The public danger of corruption is also linked to its latent nature. Corruption has a significant scale that threatens the economic security of Russia, but its real level is almost impossible to establish. Data on corruption in cases registered in the Prosecutor’s office and the judiciary, as well as international expert agencies, allow us to state a high level of corruption in Russia.

O cultivo de girassol (Helianthus annuus L.) se destaca por ser uma planta de ciclo curto, ter alto teor de óleo nos grãos, aonde o mesmo é utilizado para produção de biodiesel e alimentação humano, podendo também ser empregada para alimentação animal, assim como a silagem da planta e a torta proveniente da extração do óleo. Diante desses fatores, buscou-se avaliar o desempenho da cultura em diferentes condições no Sudoeste Baiano. O experimento foi realizado em condições de campo na área do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Baiano Campus Guanambi, avaliando-se o desempenho produtivo de 13 genótipos no semiárido baiano. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. O ciclo da cultura foi de 120 dias. Houve diferença estatística (p<0,05) para os caracteres produção de grãos, peso de 1000 aquênios, produção de matéria seca na floração, área foliar, altura de inserção do capítulo, diâmetro do capítulo e o rendimento de óleo, não havendo diferença apenas para os teores de N, P e K no florescimento. Os genótipos CF 101, BRS G43, HÉLIO 250 e SYN 045 foram os que apresentaram simultaneamente maior rendimento de grãos e de óleo. O genótipo CF 101 se destacou por possuir baixa estatura.
