Transarterial embolization through the infraorbital artery of the ethmoidal dural arteriovenous fistula causing recurrent epistaxis: illustrative case
Authors: Kwon Min-Yong , Kwon Sae Min , Kim Chang-Hyun , Lee Chang-Young
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

This report describes an ethmoidal dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) presenting with the unusual symptom of recurrent epistaxis and successfully treated with selective transarterial embolization through the infraorbital artery (IOA), which is the first time this route was used to the best of the authors’ knowledge, and reviews the literature focusing on the anatomical consideration of ethmoidal DAVFs causing epistaxis and its treatment approaches.

OBSERVATIONS

A 70-year-old man experienced recurrent intractable epistaxis that bled like a faucet turned on. Cerebral angiography revealed an ethmoidal DAVF supplied by the left anterior ethmoidal artery, both sphenopalatine arteries, both IOAs, and the right angular artery, which drained directly into the frontal cortical veins with a tortuous arterialized ectasia. Microaneurysms around the fistulous location where multiple feeding arteries converge were demonstrated and considered the likely source of the epistaxis. The fistula was completely occluded using transarterial Onyx embolization through the IOA, a branch of the internal maxillary artery. No further epistaxis appeared.

LESSONS

Although extremely rare, ethmoidal DAVFs should be included in the differential diagnosis of recurrent epistaxis. Ethmoidal DAVFs with bleeding sources in the ethmoid sinus and nasal cavity may cause epistaxis. It is important to properly diagnose and treat ethmoidal DAVFs presenting with epistaxis on the basis of a comprehensive anatomical understanding of extensive extracranial-extracranial and extracranial-intracranial anastomoses.
Facial palsy after temporal lobectomy for epilepsy: illustrative cases
Authors: Lemoine Émile , Obaid Sami , Létourneau-Guillon Laurent , Bouthillier Alain
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

Facial palsy is a rare, unexpected complication of temporal lobectomy (TL) for intractable epilepsy. Even without direct manipulation, the facial nerve fibers may be at risk of injury during supratentorial surgery, including TL.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors presented two cases of facial palsy after unremarkable TL. In the first case, the palsy appeared in a delayed fashion and completely resolved within weeks. In the second case, facial nerve dysfunction was observed immediately after surgery, followed by progressive recovery over 2 years. The second patient had a dehiscence of the roof of the petrous bone overlying the geniculate ganglion, which put the facial nerve at risk of bipolar coagulation thermal injury.

LESSONS

Two major mechanisms could explain the loss of facial nerve function after TL: surgery-related indirect inflammation of the nerve resulting in herpesvirus reactivation and delayed dysfunction (Bell’s palsy) or indirect thermal damage to the geniculate ganglion through a dehiscent petrous roof.
Span length-dependent load-carrying capacity of normal concrete - HPFRC beams
Authors: Nguyen Duy-Liem , Ngo Tri-Thuong , Tran Ngoc-Thanh
Published: May 2021

The dependence of load-carrying capacity on span length of beams, which contained a combination of normal strength concrete (NC) - High-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (HPFRC), was investigated in this study. The used HPFRC contained 1.0 vol.% long hooked blended with 0.5% short smooth fibers. Two types of span length were designed as 300 mm and 450 mm while dimensions of beam sections were identical with depth × width of 150 × 150 mm2. Each span included five types of partial structural materials as follows: Short 1 and Long 1 had no reinforcement with full of section using HPFRC, Short 2 and Long 2 had reinforcements with a full of section using HPFRC, Short 3 and Long 3 had reinforcements with a half of section using HPFRC at beam bottom, Short 4 and Long 4 had reinforcements with a third of section using HPFRC at beam bottom, Short 5 and Long 5 had reinforcements with a half of section using HPFRC at beam top. All beams were tested under three-point bending test. The shorter beam generally exhibited the greater load-carrying capacity than the long beam using same section type. The shear failure mode was dominant in case of the span/depth ratio less than 3. The HPFRC located at bottom of beam created the more effectiveness for enhancement of load-carrying capacity and stiffness of the beam, in comparison with the HPFRC placed at top of beam. The most effective zone of beam for HPFRC strengthening was at extreme tension fiber.

Flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams made with locally sourced fly ash
Authors: Chinh Nguyen Van
Published: May 2021

The paper investigates the flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams in which fly ash from Vinh Tan power station was used to replace original Portland cement in the proportions of 0%, 10%, 20% and 40% by weight. Twelve reinforced concrete beams with the dimensions of 100×150 mm in cross section and 1000 mm in length were cast and cured in water. These beams were flexurally tested under 4 points bending at 28 days, 56 days and 90 days. Load deflection curves, first cracking load, yielding of steel bars, ultimate load, and cracking pattern of the reinforced concrete beams are used to investigate the performance of the control and fly ash beams at 28 days, 56 days and 90 days. The results show that locally sourced fly ash does not affect the load and deflection curves. Fly ash reduced slightly the flexural strength of reinforced concrete beams at 90 days when 40% of fly ash was used to replaced Portland cement.

Keywords:

fly ash; reinforced concrete beam; flexural performance; load; deflection.
An isogeometric formulation with a three-variable high order shear deformation theory for free vibration analysis of FG porous plates reinforced by graphene platelets
Authors: Nguyen Lieu B. , Viet Thi Bui , Nguyen Hong-Yen
Published: May 2021

We present a generalized three-variable high order shear deformation theory (THSDT) using isogeometric analysis (IGA) to analyze free vibration of functionally graded porous (FGP) plates reinforced by graphene platelets (GPLs) in this work. It is named as FGP-GPLs for a short. The proposed theory only has got three degrees of freedom (DOFs) per node as the same way of numerically solutions in three-dimensional (3D) solids. THSDT fulfills the classical plate theory (CPT), the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and even the higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). IGA is chosen to analyze because of its noteworthy advantages in numerical computational sides of plate problems. In addition, the displacement field of THSDT needs the high continuity in approximated formulation with high-order derivatives for a weak form of fourth order equation. According to IGA formulation based on the generalized THSDT, the shear locking phenomenon is free. The variables of THSDT are less than HSDTs which contain five DOFs per node. The influences of weight fractions, the coefficient porosity, dispersion patterns of GPLs and distribution types of porosity on structure’s natural frequencies are studied through some numerical examples. In order to prove the reliability and accuracy of present method, the numerical results are compared to available published works.

Keywords:

FG-porous plate; graphene platelet reinforcements; three-variable high order shear deformation theory (THSDT); isogeometric analysis; free vibration.

Cross-border Education: Students Exchange Programme Participants’ Perspective on ERASMUS
Authors: Pavlina S. Yu.
Published: May 2021

Modern educational landscape has been undergoing drastic changes due to the processes of internationalization and transnationalization. Internationalization in higher education is manifold, student academic mobility being one of its manifestations. It is often associated with ERASMUS, the programme that has been implemented in European higher education for almost 30 years. It provides short-term student exchange programmes and involves EU member states as well as other European countries, including Russia. The effect of ERASMUS on higher education of EU countries has been thoroughly studied, while its Russian segment remains a white spot. This article reports on the study done among Russian students who participated in ERASMUS students exchange programmes in 2018–2020 as well as the Russian students educated along with their international colleagues in a home university. The employment of qualitative methods revealed that Russian participants of ERASMUS exchange programmes find them very effective. The most significant benefits include the development of cross-cultural competence as well as professional skills and personal growth. Students working with international participants of ERASMUS programme in a home university were very positive about the experience. Such communication makes the classes interesting, helps Russian students develop understanding of cultural issues, increases their motivation and gives impetus to self-development.
Priorities in the Modern Organization of University Science in the Light of the Principal-Agent Theory
Authors: Sandler D. G. , Koksharov V. A. , Kruzhaev V. V. , Bagirova A. Р.
Published: May 2021

The article focuses on the current state of the balance of interests in the field of organizing research activities in Russian universities. The theoretical framework of the research is the theory of the principal-agent, from the position of which the research management system is considered through the relationship between actors who have different degrees of awareness and potentially actin different interests. The purpose of the study is to compare the problems in the field of organizing funding, digitalization and scientific cooperation, which were the most important for agents, with those strategic decisions that took place at the level of the principal after extensive expert discussions. The following sources were used: 1) the results of the largest expert project implemented at the initiative of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation; 2) the results of a sociological study conducted at the Ural Federal University, where scientists and employees involved in the organization of scientific research were interviewed. A limitation of the study was the difficulty of comparing the results of the qualitative analysis made by the principal and the quantitative assessments given by the agents. In this connection, an emphasis in the interpretation of the results was made not so much on the specific quantitative assessments of the agents as on the comparison of the priorities of the problems expressed by the agents and the solutions generated by the principal. The results of the analysis showed that most of the priority tasks for agents in the field of organizing financing, digitalization, scientific cooperation were reflected in the decisions of the principal. The gaps stem from the lack of solutions aimed at intensifying research work in terms of monitoring the current scientific thematic agenda, and the importance of increasing the weight of this criterion when evaluating scientific projects. There are two ways to reduce the identified gaps: 1) inclusion of the support for the development of aggregators that allow scientists to quickly obtain the most relevant results with growing volumes of data into the list of tasks facing the principal; 2) development of modern analytical information and digital mechanisms for assessing the prospects of topics, which creates conditions for their compliance with the dynamic global research agenda.
The Ambivalence of the Scientific Ethos Is Irresistible
Authors: Kasavin I. Т.
Published: May 2021

Ambivalence of the scientific ethos (R. Merton) today is still a topical issue under the escalation of contradictions between science and society. The autonomy of science, the solidarity of scientists in the face of internal and external challenges are the issues decisions of which are burdened by a number of antinomies such as “profession – vocation”, “individual – collective” and “a priori – a posteriori”. Is it possible to rid the ethics of science, designed to develop and represent moral norms for the scientific community, from this ambivalence? The article offers a sketch of the ethics of science, combining virtue epistemology with some ideas of J. Rawls and W. Pareto. It shows that the ethical assessment is irreparably present in the structure of roles and statuses in the scientific community, and epistemic virtues are intertwined with moral ones. In terms of this, ambivalence is a form of problematization inherent in any ethical discourse. Hence the task of the ethics of science is not to prescribe norms of behavior to a particular agent, but to explicate conditions of moral freedom.
University Education and the Value Projection of the Concept of Corporate Social Responsibility
Authors: Tskhadaya N. D. , Bezgodov D. N. , Belyaeva О. I.
Published: May 2021

The authors consider the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a component of the global capitalist ideology. The value disposition of universities in relation to the concept of CSR is analyzed relying on the fundamental motivational matrix (FMM). The fundamental types of motivation are defined according to the anthropological distinction between personality and human nature and the social distinction between reward and punishment. In accordance with the logic of the applicability of different types of motivation, the fundamental contradiction between the value basis of the capitalist economy and the main scientific and educational activities of universities is determined. The attitude of voluntary responsibility characteristic of CSR is defined as internally contradictory, but unavoidable within the system of declared values of the capitalist economy. It is shown that the peripheral position of labor in this system of values is not accidental, that labor and investment success are opposed, and that it is irrevocable.
Influence of University Education on Changes in Students’ Value Orientations
Authors: Puzanova Z. V. , Larina Т. I.
Published: May 2021

Value orientations of young people are an issue that does not lose relevance in the agenda of  social and humanitarian  sciences and youth policy. Students are the driving  force of youth. Having  activity  and  reactivity,  as well  as  a  certain  intellectual background, namely  students  can stimulate social transformations. The University, as an agent of socialization, carries out not only educational activities, but also pedagogical and socializing work, that is why it is able to influence on the development of values and characteristics of students. The article is an analytical review of the data of a unique monitoring conducted since 2015 at the RUDN University in order to assess the effectiveness of pedagogical work at the University. In 2015 and 2019, 60% of 1st-year and 4th-year (graduate) students were surveyed using online questionnaires, respectively, which represents a quasi-panel. The theoretical framework is determined by the concept of M. Rokich about instrumental and terminal values, as well as Yu.A. Zubok’s and V.I. Chuprov’s concept about meaning-in-life values. The article presents data related to the value orientations of Russian students in the context of their changes in the course of study at the University, namely, issues of patriotism, life values, “idols” as models that students strive for, as well as personal characteristics, which determine the value orientations and other characteristics of an individual (instrumental). The main conclusion: life values and value orientations remain almost unchanged after 4 years of training, while personal characteristics may change throughout the process of training and education. The University can also affect such values as patriotism and the presence of an “idol”. For students of the RUDN University, the questions of patriotism are “difficult”, and idols are most often either family members or no one at all, which is confirmed by data from other surveys. The proposed conceptual model of monitoring may be of interest to employees of other universities and specialists in the field of education, youth work and youth sociology.

Hafif asidik ortamların misel gelişim süresini kısalttığı belirlenmiştir. Ortamların yüksek azot içermesi verim değerlerinin düşük olmasına neden olmuştur. Buna rağmen en yüksek verim ve biyolojik etkinlik oranı her iki endüstriyel atık içerisine %75 oranında katılan meşe talaşı ortamlarından elde edilmiştir. Tüm ortamlar göz önüne alındığında, en iyi verim ve biyolojik etkinlik değeri sonucu, en yüksek karbon/azot oranında elde edildiği saptanmıştır. Elde edilen mantarların morfolojik özelliklerinde oldukça iyi değerler elde edilmiştir. Yapılan çalışmanın sonucunda, iplik fabrikası lif atığı (T) ve zeytin posası(Z) ortamlarının, Pleurotus ostreatus mantarının yetiştirilmesinde hammadde olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir.

İnsanlığın ortak kaygısı olan küresel ısınma, kentlerimizin iklimlerinin değişmesi ve kaynaklarının tükenmesi konusunda çağımızın temel sorunu olmuştur. Bu sorun, ülkemizin birçok kentinde olduğu gibi Kahramanmaraş’ın iklimi üzerinde de ciddi tehditler yaratmaktadır. Yeşil alanları etkisi altına alan su sıkıntıları ile bitkiler, hayvanlar ve ekosistemler olarak Kahramanmaraş’ın flora ve faunası da etkilenerek bozulma eğilimine girmektedir. Bu durum, sürdürülebilir kent peyzajlarının nitelikleri olan korunmuş çeşitlilik, çevre ve doğa ile uyum ve kentin görsel niteliklerinin giderek yitirilmesine doğru ilerleyen bir sürece dönüşmektedir. Günümüzde küresel iklim değişikliğinin olumsuz etkilerini azaltmak adına ülkeler, yenidünyanın şartları ile uyumlaştırılmış bir dizi ilke ve politikalar ile sera gazı emisyonlarının hızını sınırlandırmaya çalışmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, kentlerin su kaynaklarının kullanımı ve yönetimi konusunda suyun akılcı kullanımı kavramını temel alan yeni yaklaşımlar ön plana çıkmıştır. Bunun bir sonucu olarak, kentlerin su kaynaklarının korunması ve kent peyzajlarının sürdürülebilmesi konusunda kuraklığa dayanaklı ve su tüketimini en az seviyede tutmayı hedefleyen “kurakçıl peyzaj düzenlemeleri” anlam kazanmaya başlamıştır. Suyun etkin kullanımı yönünde geliştirilen uygulamalardan kurakçıl peyzaj düzenlemesi (Xeriscape), kuraklık tehdidiyle yüz yüze kaldığımız günümüzde çevre-mekan kalitesi bağlamında, kentsel yeşil alanların tesis edilmesi ve sürdürülebilmesi noktasında oldukça başarılı bir uygulamadır. Bu bağlamda Kahramanmaraş’ın kent peyzajlarının su tüketimini en aza indirmeyi hedefleyen fikirden yola çıkarak, Aliya İzzetbegoviç Parkı örneğinde Kahramanmaraş’ın kent peyzajlarına yönelik gelecek kurakçıl peyzaj uygulamalarına ışık tutabilmesi amacıyla pilot bir çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları çerçevesinde Aliya İzzetbegoviç Parkı örneğinde kurakçıl bir peyzaj tasarımı geliştirilmiş ve Kahramanmaraş’ın kurakçıl peyzaj düzenlemelerinde kullanılabilecek bitki türleri belirlenmiştir. Geliştirilen önerilerin, Kahramanmaraş’ın kent peyzajlarına yönelik gelecek kurakçıl peyzaj uygulamalarına katkı sağlayabilir nitelikte olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Authors: Wang Koon-Hui , McSorley Robert
Published: May 2021

Sunn hemp, Crotalaria juncea L. is a rapidly growing crop that is used for fiber production in India and Pakistan. It is most popular as a green manure in many tropical and subtropical areas in the world as an organic nitrogen source. Recently, there is a growing interest in rotating sunn hemp with cotton in the southern United States and in using sunn hemp as a summer cover crop in Florida and other southeastern states. Sunn hemp suppresses weeds, slows soil erosion, and reduces root-knot nematode populations (Rotar and Joy, 1983). When plowed under at early bloom stage, nitrogen recovery is the highest. This document is ENY-717, one of a series of the Department of Entomology and Nematology, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Published: May 2021

The declining trend in print advertising revenue over the past decade has become more serious since Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The quick spreading of Corona virus over the world has resulted in further decrease in this area's revenue by 30% to 50%. How can the so-called ``fourth power'' be able to recover after the epidemic crisis? How can press & news media maintain operations and sustainably develop in order to serve the public and the society, especially in the context of rapid explosion of social networks and multi-interaction channels which challenge mainstream journalism? Being faced with this situation, the article proposes a number of creative solutions for the production of innovative media content including surveying, doing research on readers' preferences to identify "golden'' readers segment; filtering and selecting unique, attractive and attention-catching content; taking advantage of "social networks" to deliver rich-information content to reach readers instantly, to choose the right form and the right time to publish information. The author hopes that this article can contribute a small part to press and news media to preserve trust from and connection with readers; thereby, meeting their increasingly diverse needs in the current Industrial Revolution 4.0.

Genital herpes is a recurrent, lifelong sexual transmitted infection caused by HSV, especially type 2. Genital herpes is the most common infection in HIV patient. HSV-2 can increase the risk of HIV acquisition 2 to 3 times. Clinical manifestations of genital herpes can be different between HIV- infected and non-HIV patients. HIV-infected patients have a high risk of developing chronic and severe genital ulcers with atypical manifestation, prolonged healing, and resistant to treatment, depends on CD4 count. Genital herpes can be diagnosed based on history, clinical manifestation, laboratory and histopathologic examination. Management of genital herpes includes education and counseling patients and sexual partners, systemic antiviral, and symptomatic treatment.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is now becomes a buzzword and makes it mark on almost all fields in assisting automation of repetitive human intensive tasks in a simpler manner. RPA is nothing but a software solution that mimics the human interaction with computing software and applications without manual intervention. RPA has already been adapted in almost every business processes which are repetitive. As we are in the age of information the need for retrieval of patterns from raw data is increasing unimaginably so the needs for effective tools are also in a greater need. The effectiveness of RPA can be incorporated into the ever growing data analytics to automate the process of finding patterns and predictions from big data.
A Comprehensive Study on Scope and Challenges in Digital Inheritance

Published: May 2021

We are living our life online more and more nowadays. We access internet banking, investments online and into communication with our family and friends through various social media and other means over the internet. In this context it is becoming more and more important that what happens to our digital existence after our death. In the process of digital inheritance, digital media is handed over to the beneficiaries in the form of rights and digital assets understanding the rights that exist with the beneficiaries after a person's death. As the digital inheritance concept is quite fresh, substantial legal systems are yet to be established to deal with matters after our death. It is for that reason the websites who govern the act of the users. It is clear that a comprehensive legal arrangement is necessary to address this important issue of digital inheritance and hopefully this will be dealt with by the various Governments across the world in due course. This paper explains the concept of Digital Inheritance and explores the various options social media services provide for managing a deceased user’s data.[1] An effort is also made to suggest that Digital Will may be a choice to address this problem.
Revelation of Cryptography

Published: May 2021

As the means of communications matured and developed so did the need of secret message keeping, as we discover new and more sophisticated cryptographic techniques are being developed to aid in securing the communications between sender and receiver. Some of cryptographers started to come up with new techniques to hide the data using new encryption methods while others came up with new techniques to break the said encryption methods and this led to many great evolutions in the communication sector, as the communications became digital from analog secret message keeping became far more important and led to the introduction of various protocols and frameworks to support their need of secret message keeping.
A Deterministic Seeding Approach for k-means Clustering
Authors: Kettani Omar
Published: May 2021

In this work, a simple and efficient approach is proposed to initialize the k-means clustering algorithm. The complexity of this method is O(nk), where n is the number of data and k the number of clusters. Performance evaluation was done by applying this approach on various benchmark datasets and comparing with the related deterministic KKZ seed algorithm. Experimental results have demonstrated that this approach produces more consistent clustering results in term of average silhouette index.

Independent Component Analysis for IoT Services Using Machine Learning
Authors: NITHYANANDAM N
Published: May 2021

Machine learning is an implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that allows devices to learn and develop independently without having to be directly programmed. Machine learning is concerned with developing computer programmes that can access data and learn on their own. The introduction of the internet has revolutionised the use of machine learning in today's century. The new scheme, which seeks to create a quantifiable trust assessment model, then measures specific confidence qualities numerically. An epic calculation based on AI standards is conceived to portray the separated certainty highlights and join them to deliver a last trust characteristic to be utilized for dynamic. One of the methods used is the Generic Trust Computational Model (GTCM). It's a prototype that displays relevant details about the confidence acquisition and evaluation process using three Trust Metrics (TMs): experience, practise, and reputation. The Machine Learning Model uses the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) calculation, which depends on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), to lessen the N measurements to two for perception purposes. In a number of implementations, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) has outperformed standard PCA. When Principal Component Analysis failed to differentiate eye artefacts from brain signals, particularly when their amplitudes were identical, it was used to exclude them from the ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG).

Workspace environment portal could be a work communication tool, “a single place for electronic messaging, tools and files.” this suggests a rapid electronic messaging system with voluminous add-ins for different work tools. The add-ins aren’t necessary to use the platform, as the main motive and functionality is all regarding talking to others. There are 2 ways of chat in the Workspace: channels (group chat), and direct message or DM (person-to-person chat). Workspace would be most useful for one to complete a project with several components working along with a team. And there were naturally several conversations at the that time. With Workspace Environmental Portal, one can create a number of channels specific to each major conversational theme, allowing us to have a number of concurrent conversations while keeping each conversation separate.

Policy Forum: Improving the Canada Revenue Agency's Delivery of Social Benefits—A Practitioner's Perspective
Authors: Neilson Hugh
Published: May 2021

In Canada, the tax system has become closely intertwined with the income support system; many key income support benefits are delivered through the tax system. Other authors have identified problematic elements of the use of the tax system as a benefit administration tool, and concerns about the role of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a social benefits agency, in addition to its essential role as a tax collector, stemming in part from issues arising from Canada's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Suggestions to enhance the tax system's ability to deliver benefits include pre-filled tax forms and real-time reporting. I suggest that, while some reforms are practical even in the short term, others require a long-term perspective, or even a shift in the philosophy of our tax system, to implement changes such as reducing the volume of deductions and credits, and accepting standard claims rather than precise calculations supported by receipts and other documentation. Additionally, given that we live in a specialized society, I suggest that these goals would be better achieved by the CRA acting in collaboration with other groups, within and outside the government, to better reach vulnerable populations and deliver the benefits that they are entitled to receive.
Policy Forum: Should the Canada Revenue Agency Also Be a Social Benefits Agency?
Authors: Robson Jennifer , Schwartz Saul
Published: May 2021

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) plays an important role in the delivery of benefits to Canadians, but should that role be expanded? The speed and ease with which several new income benefits were launched by the CRA during the COVID-19 pandemic have prompted the question of whether the agency should take on a much larger role as a social benefits agency, in addition to tax collector. We review the arguments for and against, noting important weaknesses that already impair the CRA's current role in benefit delivery and that would be exacerbated in an expanded role. On balance, we conclude that an expanded role is not the better choice. We suggest that the CRA might instead enhance one of its strengths—collecting and sharing information—so that other agencies can more effectively administer benefits not directly tied to the tax system.
