Convertible Bond Pricing with Stochastic Volatility
Authors:   , Garisch Simon Edwin
Published: November 2021

The aim of this paper is to compare the performance of different pricing models in valuing bonds with callable and convertible features. Additionally, we wish to provide a theoretical foundation and derivations of the models as we move through the paper. Much of the foundations for our approach to convertible bonds pricing, including optimal conditions for call and conversion, can be attributed to Ingersoll (1976) and Brennan and Schwartz (1977). These fundamental pricing conditions can then be built upon to arrive at more elaborate and numerically sophisticated models with the objective of more accurately pricing derivative securities. The Black-Scholes (BS) model is the most commonly used model in valuing short term derivative instruments, such as equity derivatives, for example. As for longer term securities, such as convertible bonds, movements in volatility and interest rates are likely to have a compounding effect. Consequently, we conjecture that that allowing for stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rates within the pricing of these longer term instruments is preferable. Additionally, given the much larger size of the fixed income derivatives markets when compared to other derivatives, it seems that the answer as to which pricing model is preferable carries significance. As to the findings with regard to equity derivatives, Bakshi, Cao, and Chen (1997) conclude that "taking stochastic volatility into account is of the first order importance in improving on the BS formula", but "going from the SV to the SVSI does not necessarily improve the fit much further." Firstly we shall look at pricing equity derivatives and convertible bonds using a more basic BS framework, then comparing this to the more complex SV and SVSI models later on in the paper. As for numerical pricing procedures, we concentrate on the use of the ADI finite difference method in order to estimate derivative values. Given the multiple variables that we wish to model, including firm value, volatility, and interest rates, we want a pricing procedure that is both accurate and computationally efficient. Whilst the ADI method is ideal for this situation, monte-carlo simulation is also an attractive approach to pricing convertible bonds. Indeed, in the case where the value of the option is path dependant, monte-carlo simulation is the ideal choice. To see examples of finite difference techniques used in the context of convertible bonds pricing, see Andersen and Buffum (2002). Alternatively, for a look into monte-carlo simulation, see Lvov, Yigitbasioglu, and Bachir (2004).

Published: November 2021

O conceito biodiversidade tem-se propagado no âmbito científico e social devido às discussões sobre preservação e conservação ambiental. Na formação de professores de Ciências e Biologia, podemos destacar que essa ideia aparece em todas as disciplinas, sendo, portanto, um termo estruturante. Isto posto, categorizamos esse conceito sob três perspectivas: ecológica, biocultural e biocêntrica, que organizaram a análise das concepções do conceito de futuros professores da Licenciatura Interdisciplinar em Ciências da Natureza (LICNT), da Universidade Federal do Sul da Bahia (UFSB), uma graduação baseada nas metodologias ativas. Aplicamos dez entrevistas para os discentes ativos do curso. As interpretações foram feitas a partir dos referenciais da Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin. Os resultados apontaram uma prevalência do termo em uma perspectiva ecológica, normalmente abordada nos livros didáticos das áreas técnicas da Biologia, havendo reduzida influência de fatores socioculturais e biocêntricos. Inferimos que essa tendência ecológica pode ser influenciada pela concepção de formação construída pelos docentes do curso, a qual contempla a Biologia como uma área técnica e neutra.

Nowadays, halal drinks are one of the sectors that get the attention of various parties. Alcohol in beverages is important in determining the halalness of a beverage. Halal detection can be done using chemical sensors. In the Pharmacy Department, knowledge of analysis using sensors is rare. Therefore, this community service program was carried out to introduce qualitative methods of quick and simple alcohol analysis. The participants are students of the Pharmacy Department of STIKES Anwar Medika in Sidoarjo City. Participants are communities engaged in the health sector who have an interest in halal and how to make sensors for halal testing. This program is implemented by making a video on how to make a chemical sensor for alcohol detection. The chemical sensor is a paper-immobilized colloidal silver-based chemical sensor that is easy to apply in various conditions. Based on the results of the color change produced on the filter paper, from green to bluish which indicates that the food or beverage sample contains alcohol. Based on the questionnaire, participants expressed satisfaction with the increase in knowledge about additional tools that are easy and fast to detect alcohol.

Authors: Cortés-Cely Oscar Alfonso , Eraso Ordóñez Iván Mauricio
Published: November 2021

En este artículo se reflexiona sobre el arte del muralismo y se analiza su proceso artístico y de investigación con los registros obtenidos de los levantamientos cartográficos, fotográficos y documentales de los murales indígenas realizados al norte del departamento del Cauca, en los municipios de Toribío y Jambaló. Las pinturas murales se analizan y categorizan mediante los íconos de expresión cultural utilizados por los artistas y colectivos que hacen presencia en las Mingas de Muralismo. La iconografía presente en los murales indígenas reviste interés científico y artístico por el uso de metáforas, que comunican la cultura ancestral y la resistencia social por medio de signos, trazos y colores de connotaciones simbólicas contribuyentes a preservar la memoria de la comunidad indígena en territorio colombiano. El análisis de la iconografía se estudia a través de tres categorías: i. Temático natural (formas puras); ii. Significado intrínseco (valor simbólico), y iii. Contenido alegórico (metáfora). El método utilizado con enfoque participativo establece parámetros de diseño y acción entre academia y comunidad, que contribuyen a la construcción social del territorio.
Estrategia arquitectónica para vincular a la población víctima y el territorio biodiverso
Authors: Estupiñan Muñoz Sarah Patricia
Published: November 2021

El artículo propone el concepto de estereotomía como principal estrategia compositiva de una arquitectura que integra la naturaleza y el territorio, formando un vínculo entre la población víctima del conflicto armado y un centro de memoria. La estereotomía en arquitectura representa la continuidad en los materiales, en ocultar el interior, siendo la viva imagen de una cueva pétrea y oscura. No obstante, las edificaciones actuales están en búsqueda constante de la luz, ventilación y comunicación con el entorno para el confort de los usuarios. Esta tesis plantea un centro comunitario ubicado en San José del Guaviare en memoria del conflicto armado colombiano. Dicho centro simboliza un refugio para las víctimas, bajo la percepción de que nace de la misma tierra, como se entiende que lo hace una cueva, y logra que los espacios internos exploren la iluminación natural y la ventilación por medio de recorridos de agua y abundante vegetación.

Kangkong can be processed into various types of snacks, one of which is kangkong sticks. Sticks are a type of pastry that has a long flat shape, has a savory taste, and has a crunchy texture. Kangkong sticks are one form of innovation for processed kangkong products. Kangkong sticks were once produced in Dasan Tereng Village, but are no longer produced. Based on the results of interviews and observations conducted by the P1000WB Entrepreneurship Community Service Program (Creation of 1000 New Entrepreneurs), several problems have been found in the kangkong stick product. These problems include; unvaried taste, unattractive packaging, narrow marketing scope, and mass production system. KKN Kewirausahaan made various efforts to re-elevate, as well as develop kangkong stick products into superior products in Dasan Tereng Village. The efforts that have been made are: (1) Providing innovation in the form of flavor variants, (2) Improvement of product packaging using standing pouches, designing, and giving logos, (3) Doing digital marketing and changing the production system to a purchased order (PO) system. The method used is observation, short interview, and literature study. This gives tangible results in the form of product sales which are quite high, exceeding the sales target, from 40 packs to 110 packs in one week.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: The most common cause of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is sub pleural bleb apical rupture. Little is known about the relationship between PSP and exercise and return to exercise time. In this study, wee tend to investigate the relationship between exercise and PSP and time of return to exercise and previous activities. Method: This study was designed as a case series and the sample size included all patients diagnosed with PSP in Razi and Poursina and Aria hospitals of Rasht during 2015-2019 based on inclusion criteria. Variables were analyzed using Fisher's exact test, Chi square, Mann Whitney U and t-test (p<0.05). Results: The most common type of treatment in patients was transaxillary thoracotomy with pleurodesis with iodine (TTP) in 58.2% and tube thoracostomy and pleurodesis in 41.7%, which was not statistically significant between athletes and non-athletes (p=0.806). Athletes who underwent TTP after 4 weeks and those treated with tube thoracostomy and pleurodesis after 8-12 weeks were advised to return to their previous activity. Of athletes, 9.5% had recurrence; of non-athletes, 9.8% had recurrence. Of athletes, 4.8% did not tolerate a return to their previous activity; of non-athletes, 7.3% did not tolerate returning to their previous activity regardless of treatment, and this difference was not significant. Conclusion: Our study showed no significant difference between clinical manifestations and image findings as well as frequency of treatment and complications in both athlete and non-athlete patients. There is no increase in recurrence and intolerance at the time recommended for return to previous activity.

Published: November 2021

Uniformity in plant spacing, evenness of dropping, planter capacity and among others has been identified as constraints facing planter performance. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the technical performance of the developed double row yam minisett (DRYM) planter. Category (I) tractor 50 hp was used to carry out field trials to determine the metering efficiency, effective field capacity, evenness of dropping, fuel consumption and wheel slippage. Three (3) yam varieties (pona, dente and CRI afase biri) of the average weight of 50 g with moisture content (82 %) were used for the test. Multivariate and (ANOVA) statistical method was used for analyzing the similarities among the tractor speed using OriginPro 2018 software. Metering efficiency (80.4%), effective field capacity (3.84 h/ha), field efficiency (66.6%), evenness of dropping (81.00%), and wheel slip (3.39%) were recorded. The use of developed planter will be expected to reduce human drudgery and also timeliness improvement. The study concluded that planter should be used on relatively flat (ploughed-harrowed) land to avoid wheel not touching the ground.

This work was conducted with the aim of studying the biodiversity of benthic macroinvertebrates in the Dja River and determining the effect of the Mekin hydroelectric dam on their population in relation to the physico-chemical quality of the water. The study ran from May to October 2020 and samplings were carried out on a monthly basis in four different sampling stations located upstream and downstream of the dam. The physico-chemical analyses were done according to standard methods, while the benthic macrofauna was collected using a turbid net of 400 µm mesh size over a total area of about 6 m2 per station. Physico-chemical analyses revealed a decreasing evolution from upstream to downstream of the dam of nitrogen forms (NO3- (1.67mg/L-0.41mg/L); NH4+ (0.31 mg/L-0.21 mg/L) with p>0.05); Electrical Conductivity (21.45µS/Cm-17.1µS/Cm with p<0.05) and Suspended Solids (11.10mg/L-6.57mg/L with p<0.05); while Dissolved Oxygen (49.82%-78.23% with p<0.05) and velocity (0.04m/s-0.23m/s) increased. Organic Pollution Index revealed that the water was moderately polluted (3-4). In total, 1894 individuals, of which 1044 belonging to 2 phyla, 2 classes, 6 orders, 27 families and 47 genera/species were collected upstream; and 850 belonging to 3 phyla, 4 classes, 8 orders, 28 families and 45 genera/species were collected downstream. Odonata was largely abundant and highly represented Trithemis dorsalis (96.05%); while downstream, Heteroptera was largely abundant and highly represented by Poissonia sp1. (79.78%). These results revealed that restoration of the upstream of the dam impacted by organic pollution and physical degradation of the environment is recommended.

ELECTROACOUSTIC EXPERIMENTS IN FRENCH FILM MUSIC: ON THE ISSUE OF PREREQUISITES
Authors:   Glinka Nizhny Novgorod State Conservatoire, Platonova Olesia A.
Published: November 2021

The article analyzes the phenomena of European art of the first half of the 20th century, which not only prepared the birth of electroacoustic music, but also contributed to the dialogue between this trend of academic art and film music. The new view on the phenomenon of sound was the result of scientific and technological progress, powerful social transformations, and a change in the worldview paradigm. The first part of the article discusses the idea of autonomous sound in the works of Luigi Russolo, the concept of “liberation of sound” in the music of Edgar Varèse, and the role of noise design in the creative actions of Dadaists and performances of Antonin Artaud’s “théâtre de la cruauté” (“theatre of cruelty”). The second part is devoted to an in-depth study of sound-noise experiments in the French film music of the 1930s and 1940s. Analyzing samples of musical and noise collages (collaborations of Jacques Tati and Jean Yatove in the film Jour de fête, René Clair and Georges Auric—in À nous la liberté, Jean Vigo and Maurice Jaubert — in L’Atalante, Jean Renoir and Joseph Kosma—in La Bête humaine); methods of manipulating the optical track and the “partition rétrograde” (the product of the “co-authorship” of directors Jean Grémillon and Julien Duvivier and composers Alexis Roland-Manuel and Maurice Jaubert); examples of enriching the timbre palette of film music through electronic instruments (ondes Martenot in the music of Arthur Honegger, Adolphe Borchard, Maurice Thiriet to the films of Abel Gance, Dimitri Kirsanoff, Sacha Guitry, Marcel L’Herbier) in the context of global trends in art and technology, the author comes to the conclusion that by the beginning of the 1950s, the ground for electroacoustic experiments and their immediate introduction into film music was fully prepared, and that in the previous years, filmmakers had realized the expressive power of noise and electronic sounds.

Setelah tauhid diajarkan baru kemudian memberikan pengajaran yang lain seperti ibadah, syariah dan akhlak.
The Effectiveness of Hot Bead Sterilization in Maintaining Sterile Surgical Instrument Tips across Sequential Mouse Surgeries
Authors: Holdridge Julie A , Nichols Madison S , Dupont William D , Jones Carissa P , Shuster Katherine A
Published: November 2021

One strategy commonly employed for rodent surgeries is a "tips-only" surgical technique, which restricts the surgeon to using only the sterile working ends of the surgical instruments to manipulate the surgical field and sterilizes instrument tips with a hot bead sterilizer between
consecutive rodents. Despite the common use of the "tips-only" technique, research is lacking on the number of sequential surgeries for which the same set of hot bead-sterilized instruments can be used before introducing bacterial contamination. We performed serial mouse surgeries using the
"tips-only" technique under 3 different conditions (aseptic, fur contamination, or cecal contamination) and assessed aerobic bacterial growth before and after each round of hot bead sterilization. Instrument tips showed an increasing probability of contamination of at least one instrument
in a series of consecutive surgeries. The probability that all surgical instrument tips in the series were sterile after hot bead sterilization fell by 4% for each surgery involving inadvertent or fur contamination and by 11.5% for each surgery with contamination for all surgical types combined
(including entering the gastrointestinal tract). Based on our results, hot bead sterilization is not adequate for surgeries associated with gross contamination. Under our experimental conditions and assuming independence of outcomes between consecutive surgeries, up to 5 surgeries associated
with minor or inadvertent contamination could be performed in series with a probability higher than 80% that all instrument tips were sterile for all surgeries. A case-by-case risk assessment should be conducted to derive institutional guidelines for the maximal number of surgeries that can
be performed in sequence using the "tips-only" technique with hot bead sterilization of the same set of surgical instruments between surgeries. Full sterilization of instruments after every surgery provides the greatest confidence in maintaining sterility.

Published: November 2021

There is a number of human rituals that are accompanied by sacrifices of food and drinks. Ritual
practices of different people are a huge resource of these habits that are found all over the world.
This research paper will focus on the role of instrumental music in guiding these sacrifices among
selected communities inhabiting Southeast Asia’s mainland.
Through a multi-perspective observation this research aims at showing order principles, musical
requirements, and their variability, which will be analysed and discussed.
Long term field work and participant observation over a specific period of time are the basic preconditions
for this research. In addition, this research is also to question basic principles of
conveying research outcomes and the use of well-established research tools in order to categorize
and identify types of musical and ritual behaviour. The perspective of food offerings may shift
the focus from musicality within rituals to the focus on social digestion in the context of sustaining
communities.
The Meaning of the Deer Representation on Dambus from Bangka Island
Authors: Pratama Onny Nur
Published: November 2021

Dambus is one of the art products (traditional music) found on Bangka Island used by the landbased
people. They are obviously related to Malay people.
Dambus is a term used for musical instruments, music (ensembles), patterns, techniques, songs
and dances. The dambus art in its ensemble consisted of a tawak-tawak, a larger main drum, anak
drum that was smaller in size, a tambourine and a gong. The dambus has a unique feature. It is
the instrument head shape that resembles a deer head which contrasts with Malay beliefs namely
with the teachings of Islam. In Islamic teachings it is strictly prohibited to make something similar
to a statue or idol as the form of a dambus.
The Bangka community also had the activity of ngelapun or berasuk in the past. Ngelapon or
berasuk is a community activity that hunts deer in groups using a type of Lelapun (trap). During
the Berume event, tradition of Ngetep Nasik Baru, Rusa's animal meat was one of the side dishes
presented during the process of preparing food from the first crop, called ‘new rice’. This research
will explain how all these things are interconnected to get a common thread about the meaning
of the deer head representation on the musical instrument dambus of Bangka.
Capacity building at community forestry level for synergistic implementation of NDCs’ adaptation and mitigation commitments
Authors: Shivakoti Binaya Raj , Lopez-Casero Federico , Maraseni Tek , Pokharel Krisha
Published: November 2021

Conservation, restoration and management of forest resources are critical for addressing climate change. Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are a vehicle for targeted climate actions, including those related to forest management, by countries towards contributing global efforts agreed under the Paris Agreement. Operationalizing climate action stipulated in NDCs requires adequate preparedness and capacity, especially at the local level. This paper suggests a comprehensive framework of capacity building targeting at the community forestry level based on the findings of capacity needs assessments carried out in Nepal. The framework outlines a method to develop capacity among forest communities so they can carry out integrated assessments of the outcomes related to sustainable forest management, mitigation, adaptation and the quality of governance. Further, it outlines the capacity needed for integrated planning and implementation to consolidate the assessment process and make progress in an adaptive manner. By filling the capacity gaps at the community forestry level in a comprehensive manner, countries can narrow the existing divide between local-level climate actions and upper-level (national and international level) policy priorities, which is the major barrier for translating climate commitments into action.
A Multilevel World and a Flat Worldview: A Realist and Progressive Synthesis for Russia
Authors: Lukin Vladimir
Published: November 2021

This article is about the challenges that face Russia when reflecting on her obligations to the UN system, and on the limits of what is possible in trying to ‘master’ globalization. These challenges are not simply practical questions about the choice of foreign policy. They are deeper questions about worldview and how best to understand and navigate contemporary world politics. Several schemes have been presented to help identify and explain the foundations of our contemporary world order: geopolitical frameworks, civilizational ones, and some that are explicitly ideological. In engaging with and critiquing some of the best-known of these frameworks, the article makes the case for a worldview for Russia that is realist and progressive. This worldview recognizes the hierarchy of states and the logic of power politics in a UN-centered world, but it also moves beyond this pragmatic focus to consider the possibilities for a global dialogue of ‘pluralistic convergence’ and peaceful change that is facilitated by Russia.

As matrizes curriculares dos cursos foram consultadas em endereços eletrônicos institucionais. Foi realizada análise descritiva dos dados e teste Exato de Fisher foi aplicado. A maioria dos discentes relataram nunca ter atendido um PNE (54,8 %) e, destes, 67,7% não se sentem preparados para este atendimento. A maioria dos discentes (84,7%) e docentes (53,8%) aprova a obrigatoriedade da disciplina de PNE na estrutura curricular. Insegurança foi a reação mais comum dos discentes ao atendimento odontológico fictício a um paciente PNE. Entre os docentes participantes do estudo, 73,1% informaram já ter atendido PNE. Em 67,8% dos cursos de Odontologia pesquisados há oferta de disciplina de PNE. Em conclusão, a ausência de atendimento a PNE gera insegurança aos graduandos em Odontologia. A inclusão do tema PNE na matriz curricular é apoiada por discentes e docentes. A disciplina está presente na maioria dos cursos de Odontologia do Brasil.
ANALISIS KASUS MANAJEMEN KOMUNIKASI KRISIS: SERANGAN WARGANET ATAS PENYELENGGARAAN HARD ROCK FM FASHION ROCKS 2020 DI DALAM MRT JAKARTA
Authors: Akmal Ibnu
Published: November 2021

Kehadiran Mass Rapid Transit atau Moda Raya Terpadu (MRT) di Jakarta sejak bulan Maret 2019 tidak hanya menarik perhatian masyarakat pengguna transportasi umum, namun juga pihak swasta dalam menyelenggarakan kegiatan yang membutuhkan perhatian khalayak atau publisitas. Acara tahunan Hard Rock FM Fashion Rocks yang diadakan di dalam gerbong MRT yang sedang berjalan pada awal tahun 2020 berubah menjadi kemarahan khalayak pengguna moda transportasi umum dan meninggalkan komentar buruk di media sosial, serta pemberitaan negatif di media online. Keterlambatan respon dan tanggapan yang dianggap tidak sesuai harapan khalayak menambah kasus ini menjadi krisis yang tidak terduga, hingga manajemen yang diwakili oleh Iwet Ramadhan selaku Head of Business Growth MRA Media meminta maaf secara pribadi melalui media sosial. Melalui lima langkah metode analisis kasus yaitu framing, labeling, summarizing, synthesizing dan concluding maka dapat disimpulkan jika Hard Rock FM lebih peka terhadap kebutuhan pengguna MRT, jadwal penyelenggaraan acara dan cepat tanggap atas keluhan yang muncul maka akan meminimalisasi bergulirnya kemarahan warganet di media sosial. Namun langkah meminta maaf dengan berfokus pada kondisi pihak-pihak yang dirugikan sangatlah tepat sebagai bentuk simpati dan kompensasi yang efektif.

The Sensitivity Test of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to Snail Seromucoid and Chitosan in vitro
Authors: Sutanto Yusup Subagio , Sutanto Magdalena , Harti Agnes Sri , Puspawati Nony
Published: November 2021

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection caused by M. tuberculosis (MTb) and is transmitted through droplets of phlegm in the air from patients or those suspected of having TB. In general, treatment for TB is done with anti-tuberculosis drugs (ATDs), specifically streptomycin, isoniazid, rifampicin, and ethambutol (SIRE) that takes a long time due to the level of resistance of MTb bacteria. The resistance of MTb triggers ATDs based on natural bioactive compounds. Chitosan as a result of chitin deacetylation can function as an antimicrobial agent because it is polycationic, which is biodegradable, biocompatible, and non-toxic. Snail (Achatina fulica) seromucoid contains antibacterial bioactive compounds, namely glycans, peptides, glycopeptides, achasin protein, and chondroitin sulfate. This study aims at testing the sensitivity of MTb isolates against snail seromucoid and chitosan in vitro. This research applied the experimental research method. MTb isolates were obtained from sputum samples of patients suspected of TB at the Surakarta Regional Public Hospital (RSUD Surakarta). The results of screening for MTb were positive, based on the microscopic examination of MTb using the Ziehl Nelson (ZN) method, the MPT 64 rapid test, and the quick molecular test using the Genexpert method. The research was completed through several stages, including the preparation of a suspension of germs with a concentration of 1 mg/ml or Mc. Farland 0.5-1.0; preparation of the stock solution and working solution (WS); drug sensitivity test (DST) against snail seromucoid; chitosan and ATDs (SIRE) on Lowenstein Jensen (LJ) media; and incubation at 37°C for 3-4 weeks. The results were interpreted on day 28 or day 42. The results have revealed that MTb isolates are 100% resistant to snail seromucoid and 2% chitosan. This study concludes that MTb isolates from suspected TB are resilient to 100% snail seromucoid and 2% chitosan.

Pentingnya Toleransi atau Pluralisme antar umat Beragama Untuk keutuhan NKRI
Authors: MAFTUKH MUHAMMAD
Published: November 2021

Terwujudnya kerukunan dan toleransi antar umat beragama agar bisa menjadi alat pemersatu bangsa, maka kemajemukan harus dikelola dengan baik dan benar, maka diperlukan cara yang benar-benar efektif yaitu dengan cara dialog antar umat beragama untuk permasalahan yang mengganjal antar masing-masing kelompok umat beragama. Karena mungkin selama ini konflik yang timbul antar umat beragama terjadi karena terputusnya jalinan informasi yang benar di antara pemeluk agama dari satu pihak ke pihak lain sehingga timbul prasangka-prasangka negative.
Differential expression of laeverin in cancers of the breast.

Published: November 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding laeverin, LVRN, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. LVRN was also differentially expressed in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. LVRN mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of LVRN in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with normal-like subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. LVRN may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Differential expression, coding and non-coding, of FGF14 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of an antisense RNA transcribed from the FGF14 locus, FGF14-AS2, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. A coding FGF14 transcript was differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. FGF14-AS2 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of FGF14-AS2 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in patients with HER2+ subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed antisense transcript and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. FGF14-AS2 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Published: November 2021

Abstrak Persatuan dan kesatuan bangsa serta kesatuan wilayah, merupakan suatu kondisi dan cara terbaik untuk mencapai tujuan bersama. Suatu masyarakat yang didorong oleh keharusan pemenuhan kebutuhannya perlu bekerja sama atau bersatu dalam bekerja karena pada dasarnya saling membutuhkan. Masyarakat juga perlu bersatu agar dapat menghimpun kekuatan untuk mencapai suatu tujuan yang tidak dapat dilakukan secara sendiri-sendiri . Disamping itu, pencapaian suatu tujuan masyarakat dapat efektif bila dilakukan dalam satu tatanan atau suatu tata hubungan dalam masyarakat yang berada dalam satu kesatuan. Persatuan dan kesatuan tidak saja berlaku secara nasional, tetapi juga diperlukan dalam lingkup regional dan global, wujudnya seperti Uni Eropa, ASEAN, APEC atau WTO.
Mitigating Racial Inequity by Addressing Racism in the Criminal Justice System: A Behavior Analytic Approach
Authors: Rose Julia C. C. , MacManus Cormac , Macdonald Jacquelyn M. , Parry-Cruwys Diana
Published: November 2021

Racial inequity in the United States’ criminal justice system is a long-standing problem that has recently garnered international attention. This paper frames the problem of racial inequity in a behavior analytic context and offers potential solutions based on existent research and behavior analytic principles. We draw a parallel between the analysis of racist behavior enabled by the definitions provided by Kendi in How to Be an Antiracist and the analysis of verbal behavior made possible by the terminology posited by Skinner in Verbal Behavior in order to highlight the pertinence of applying a behavior analytic approach to the problem of racial inequity upheld by racist behavior. Immediately actionable steps to address racism in the criminal justice system and beyond are offered on a cultural, organizational and individual level.
Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation normalizes food liking and improves liking ratings in depression

Introduction: The vagus nerve plays a prominent role in the regulation of food reward and energy metabolism. However, previous studies using vagus nerve stimulation yielded conflicting results regarding changes in food reward in healthy participants and participants with major depressive disorder (MDD), for which vagal nerve stimulation is an effective treatment. Methods: We investigated the acute effects of right transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on ratings of liking and wanting of food and non-food items in 63 participants, including 31 patients with MDD. To test for taVNS-induced changes and interactions with between-subject variables group (MDD vs. healthy controls) and questionnaire scores as well as within-subject variables, we performed linear mixed-effects analysis. In addition, we assessed whether individual taVNS-induced changes in food reward ratings were dependent on average ratings.Results: taVNS increased liking of food cues in participants with MDD (p= 0.023), but not in healthy participants (p= 0.657). Specifically, taVNS induced larger improvements in liking ratings with increasing scores of anhedonia (p= 0.029). Notably, across all participants, taVNS reduced the variance of food liking compared to sham, suggesting that taVNS normalizes extreme liking ratings towards moderate levels (p = 0.039).Discussion: Our results show that taVNS acutely ameliorates hedonic responses in MDD suggesting that it could provide an effective treatment of anhedonia. Since anhedonia is difficult to treat with conventional therapies, taVNS may provide a powerful adjuvant to rapidly improve motivational deficiencies.
