Authors: Dewi Agustina
Published: March 2021

Digitalisasi informasi nyaris tanpa batas sebagai salah satu pengaruh yang masuk secara masif ke Indonesia dapat menjadi potensi yang positif sekaligus negatif terkait pemberdayaan pemuda sebagai aset bangsa.Multiliterasi adalah keterampilan menggunakan beragam cara untuk menyatakan dan memahami ide-ide dan informasi dengan menggunakan bentuk-bentuk teks konvensional maupun teks inovatif, simbol, dan multimedia. Berdasarkan premis tersebut, kajian ini mengidentifikasi bahwa konsep multiliterasi yang dirancang untuk menjawab kebutuhan keterampilan yang diperlukan di era digitalisasi informasi membutuhkan pengembangan kerangka berpikir pada tatanan konseptual maupun praktis, kaitannya dengan pemanfaatan teks yang bersifat multimodal. Riset ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian campuran dengan desain pra-eksperimental one-shot case studydalam dua tahap. Tahap Pertama adalah pengembangan kuesioner satu fase untuk mengidentifikasi bentuk media dan bentuk informasi paling efektif sebagai sumber literasi, Tahap Kedua merupakan Analisis Dokumentasi yang menelaah beragam Tradisi Komunikasi dalam Proses Komunikasi Visual yang selama ini telah banyak diterapkan dalam Pendidikan Tinggi Desain. Hasil penelitian Tahap Pertama yang menggunakan 40 orang responden menunjukkan bahwa bentuk media dan bentuk informasi literasi paling efektif merupakan gabungan dari beberapa modalitas pembelajaran. Mendukung hal ini, hasil Analisis Dokumentasi juga menunjukkan bahwa Multiliterasi Desain di era Revolusi Industri 4.0 memerlukan pengembangan dan penguatan pada area Tradisi Komunikasi serta Konteks Komunikasi Media, agar dengan demikian dapat mendukung tercapainya ragam kompetensi multiliterasi desain secara beretika yang diperlukan untuk menghadapi Indonesia 4.0.
Study of efficiency and information transmission for agricultural futures markets: a comparative analysis between Buenos Aires and Chicago using monthly and daily data
Authors: Lachman Jeremías , Jack Pablo
Published: March 2021

This paper aims to study and compare the efficiency in futures markets for soybean crop between Buenos Aires (MATBA) and Chicago (CME–CBOT) for the years 1994 through 2015. There are numerous studies that analyze this phenomenon independently, but few of them have done a comparative analysis between marke-

ts. Therefore, the main objective of this research — in addition to individually analyzing the efficiency in futures market in each country — is to be able to detect the existence of a relationship between the two markets. In this article we show that, in addition for market efficiency in all cases, market efficiency in MatBa was derived from the efficiency in CME–CBOT. This means that relevant information is transmitted from the Chicago market to the one in Buenos Aires. By using a cointegration approach based on Johansen (1995) we estimated the models with monthly and daily data.
Ciencias del comportamiento y política: tiempo de "empujar" la conducta de los gobernantes
Authors: Linares Sebastián , Freidin Esteban
Published: March 2021

El enfoque de Behavioral Insights (BI) implica utilizar conocimientos de las ciencias del comportamiento en el diseño, implementación y evaluación de políticas públicas. En general, los proyectos asociados a BI buscan afectar la conducta de los ciudadanos en sentidos socialmente deseables. En este artículo planteamos que el mismo enfoque puede ser utilizado como marco para "pensar" cómo moldear la conducta de los gobernantes con fines prosociales. Con este objetivo, discutimos dos conceptos: 1) la alineación de los incentivos de gobernantes y ciudadanos, y 2) el enfoque Nudge, que implica estructurar los ambientes de decisión para guiar a los agentes hacia fines prosociales. Concluimos mencionando algunas promesas y limitaciones del enfoque BI en general y de nuestras propuestas específicas en particular

Devaluaciones reales y aceleraciones inflacionarias
Authors: Carreras Mayer Pablo
Published: March 2021

Las economías abiertas pueden enfrentar un trade-off entre aumentos en el tipo de cambio real (TCR) y cambios en la inflación para horizontes relevantes. Se aplica una metodología a un panel mensual de 98 países para el período 1970-2004 identificando episodios de incrementos "significativos y duraderos" del TCR, clasificándolos en "aceleradores" o "no aceleradores" según conlleven cambios apreciables en la tasa de inflación. Se aprecia elevada heterogeneidad en la respuesta inflacionaria entre regiones y entre países emergentes y avanzados. La probabilidad de episodios "aceleradores" (i) se incrementa a mayor inflación inicial, (ii) no resulta influida por la brecha de producto, (iii) disminuye con la presencia de regímenes de Inflation Targeting, y (iv) disminuye a mayor grado de "anclaje cambiario" posterior al episodio

Integración de la Economía con la Psicología: Richard H. Thaler, Premio Nóbel de Economía 2017
Authors: Vargas Hernández José G.
Published: March 2021

Este trabajo pretende analizar las principales contribuciones de Richard H. Thaler a la ciencia de la economía del comportamiento, las cuales han sido consideradas para otorgarle el Premio Nobel Sveriges Riksbank de Economía en 2017. Sus aportaciones incorporan la psicología en los procesos de tomas de decisiones económicas apartándose de la racionalidad instrumental y la teoría de la elección racional para contribuir a la generación de una nueva perspectiva en la teoría económica y en la política económica. El método empleado es fundamentalmente el analítico-descriptivo basado en una revisión de sus principales publicaciones realizadas. Finalmente se concluye que Thaler y sus colaboradores ejercen una infl uencia relevante al generar un nuevo marco de referencia para explicar y predecir resultados económicos desde un acercamiento del comportamiento racional limitado, la teoría de contabilidad limitada y el modelo de planeador-hacedor bajo el concepto de empujón o nudge, el cual tiene un impacto en el diseño e implementación de las políticas públicas.
Giving with one hand and taking away with the other
Authors: Fernandes Carlândia Brito Santos , Cunha Mariana Silva , Vasconcelos Marcos Roberto
Published: March 2021

This study analyses the impact of fiscal policy on income inequality for the Brazilian states, over the period 2004-2014. With system GMM we find robust evidence that while increases in total expenditures have a positive impacton inequality, total revenues have a negative effect, thus the net effects may not be positive. With a particular focus on disaggregated expenditures, we also identify that the negative effects that expenditures related to public debt can generate may overcome the positive effects of social expenditures. Therefore, the discussion on how to determine and qualify social spending levels in Brazil, which are necessary to combat poverty and reduce social and income inequalities, is directly related to the revision of the tax collection system.

Authors: Lara María Inés , Serio Monserrat , Garbero María Noelia
Published: March 2021

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar, para Argentina, la progresión en el consumo de drogas que se inicia con el consumo de drogas legales y avanza hacia el consumo de marihuana, cocaína y otras drogas ilícitas. Utilizando la ENPreCoSP del 2011, se analiza la relación entre el consumo de alcohol y tabaco y su edad de inicio con el consumo de marihuana incluyendo variables de propensión y acceso. A su vez, se estudia la relación entre el consumo de marihuana y su edad de inicio con el consumo de otras drogas. Los resultados obtenidos van en línea con la teoría de escalonamiento, el consumo de drogas legales y su inicio más temprano tienen una relación positiva con la probabilidad de consumir marihuana, y el consumo de esta última también se relaciona directamente con la probabilidad de consumir otras drogas ilícitas.
Los sistemas de gestión predial: diferencias en eficiencia técnica y brechas tecnológicas en los tambos de Uruguay
Authors: García Suárez Federico , Pérez Quesada Gabriela
Published: March 2021

El presente estudio analiza las diferencias tecnológicas entre dos grupos de productores de leche, familiares (PF) y con manejo empresarial (PME). Para obtener estimaciones de eﬁ ciencia técnica comparables entre los dos grupos se utiliza la metodología de meta-fronteras. Aunque los PME son técnicamente más eﬁ cientes que los PF (0.702 y 0.487, respectivamente) ambos grupos podrían obtener un mayor nivel de productividad mejorando su eﬁ ciencia técnica. Además, cada no de los grupos opera bajo diferentes condiciones tecnológicas. El valor promedio del meta-ratio es 0.911 para los PME y 0.807 para los PF. Por lo tanto, los PME deberían invertir en nuevas tecnologías para reducir la brecha tecnológica, mientras que los PF podrían implementar las prácticas y tecnologías prevalecientes que están siendo usadas por los PME.
Desigualdad salarial en Argentina. Una interpretación con base en calificaciones ocupacionales
Authors: Gómez María Celeste
Published: March 2021

En este artículo nos proponemos examinar qué rol jugaron las calificaciones de los trabajadores en la desigualdad salarial argentina, considerando un marco analítico que las define no sólo a través de la educación sino principalmente por medio de la dimensión ocupacional, tanto para el total de los asalariados como para cada género en particular. Utilizamos para ello la técnica de regresión por cuantiles sobre ecuaciones de ingreso para los años 2004, 2009 y 2014. Los resultados revelan una caída en las brechas entre premios por calificación, combinada con menores niveles de desigualdad hacia dentro de dichas categorías. Esto encuentra su correlato con un descenso en los retornos a la educación en niveles salariales más altos. Ambos efectos combinados confirman la hipótesis de que las calificaciones laborales están directamente asociadas a la desigualdad salarial, y muestran que en este período se logra una mitigación de las desigualdades en el mercado asalariado gracias a una mejor posición relativa de los trabajadores con calificación operativa, en relación a los técnicos y profesionales.

El presente trabajo pone en discusión cuestiones relativas a la efectiva apropiación de los potenciales benefi cios de esta actividad desde una perspectiva territorial.
Coronavirus and the need for strong government institutions: defeating the pandemic and reviving economies
Authors: Esposto Alexis S.
Published: March 2021

This paper discusses the importance of government and economic institutions in dealing with economic shocks such as the COVID-19. In attempting to deal with this massive health, social and economic upheaval, governments around the world have been using a variety of social and economic policies. These policies have two aims. First, to reduce the spread of the virus and second to mitigate the economy wide damage that the spread of the virus is causing. The paper describes the initial economic impact of the virus worldwide and on the Australian economy. It also argues that unless a rapid response is made, the likelihood of a world depression is high. The analysis focuses on the importance of government institutions in respond-ing to major economic shocks. It showcases the work of the Treasury of Australia as a model of best practice for the development of economic policies designed to respond to extreme events. The paper concludes by providing a set of economy wide policy responses to tackle the current economic shocks.

Discriminación salarial por género en el mercado de trabajo del Paraguay: Análisis del sector formal, zona metropolitana y zona fronteriza con Brasil
Authors: Braga Penha Débora de Lima , Cuenca López Anibal David , Da Cunha Cassuce Francisco Carlos
Published: March 2021

Este estudio tiene por objeto analizar el comportamiento de la discriminación salarial por género del mercado laboral paraguayo del sector formal con foco en la zona metropolitana y fronteriza con Brasil durante el período 2017 a 2019. Para tal efecto, se estimaron las ecuaciones de salarios de Mincer (1974) y la metodología de Heckman (1979). Posteriormente, se realiza la descomposición de Oaxaca-Blinder (1973). Los resultados indican que pese a la disminución de la brecha salarial en el período analizado aún persisten las desigualdades de ingresos por género. Parte de la brecha de ingresos se debe a factores no explicados, que podrían atribuirse a la discriminación. Por esta razón, es necesario implementar políticas que garanticenla igualdad salarial por sexo.

Lost in Space? On the History, Status, and Future of Regional Science
Authors: Isserman Andrew M.
Published: March 2021

Regional science is turning 40. Once the harbinger of a person’s imminent death, becoming 40 now ushers in a period of apprehension and reflection-the mid-life crisis. It is a time to confront the dreams of youth, take stock of the present, ponder the path that led from there to here, and discern future possibilities. If all goes well, reflection and self-assessment lead to a renewed sense of purpose and to the self-understanding, resolve, and motivation that will shape the next 40 years. Regional science has much to gain from a deliberate effort to assess its condition, directions, and options. I attempt to do so here, but, of course, one person and one paper cannot suffice for such a task. This paper will serve its goal if it sparks thought, discussion, and action leading to both a better understanding of regional science and a more vigorous and useful regional science.
Potential for Increased Rural Electrification Rate in Sub-Saharan Africa using SWER Power Distribution Networks
Authors: Irechukwu Michael , Mushi Mushi
Published: March 2021

Rural electrification rate (RER) in Africa is still low to date. Several countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have tried to address this problem using conventional single- phase two-wire or three-phase three-wire systems, however at large costs due to the nature of dispersed rural load centres, low load demand, and low population density. Another solution of off-grid generation creates associated health problems. Therefore, this paper undertakes a review of a single wire earth return (SWER) network as a RER improvement solution. The paper undertakes intensive literature review to elucidate challenges and solutions to the implementation of SWER technology. Advantages of SWER technology discussed make it the choice for RER improvement in Sub-Saharan African countries. After that, a case study is selected in rural Tanzania, and a preliminary SWER network design is undertaken.
Algorithmic Models of Investor Behavior
Authors: Lo Andrew , Remerov Alexander
Published: March 2021

We propose a heuristic approach to modeling investor behavior by simulating combinations of simpler systematic investment strategies associated with well-known behavioral biases—in functional forms motivated by an extensive review of the behavioral finance literature—using parameters calibrated from historical data. We compute the investment performance of these heuristics individually and in pairwise combinations using both simulated and historical asset-class returns. The mean-reversion or momentum nature of a heuristic can often explain its effect on performance, depending on whether asset returns are consistent with such dynamics. These algorithms show that seemingly irrational investor behavior may, in fact, have been shaped by evolutionary forces and can be effective in certain environments and maladaptive in others.

Asymptomatic Enteric Duplication Cyst in a Geriatric Cat: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Phipps William Bertram , Rich Andrew Frederick , Rossanese Matteo
Published: March 2021

An 11 yr old female neutered domestic shorthair presented for an 8 mo history of an asymptomatic abdominal mass. Computed tomography described an irregular, cystic structure closely associated with the duodenum, and focal ultrasonography confirmed the mass shared outer layers with the intestinal wall. Coeliotomy revealed the mass was originating from, and firmly adhered to, the antimesenteric border of the duodenum but was not communicating with the intestinal lumen. En bloc mass resection with omentalization was performed without small intestinal resection. Histopathology confirmed an enteric duplication cyst. The cat made a full recovery and remained asymptomatic postoperatively with no evidence of recurrence. A review of the literature confirms the duodenum to be the most common location of enteric duplication cysts in felines and that subtotal excision is curative in most cases. This differential should be considered in cases of cystic gastrointestinal structures in juvenile and adult felines, with or without associated clinical signs. In cases of luminal involvement or malignant transformation, intestinal resection and anastomosis is more appropriate. This report describes the presentation, investigations, and treatment of an asymptomatic duodenal duplication cyst in an adult feline and summarizes and compares current knowledge of the condition between veterinary and human literature.

Saponin-Mediated Rejuvenation of Bruch’s Membrane: A New Strategy for Intervention in Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Authors: Lee Yunhee , Jung Ahn Eun , Hussain Ali
Published: March 2021

At present, there is no treatment modality for the vast majority of patients with dry AMD. The pathophysiology of AMD is complex but current evidence suggests that abnormal ageing of Bruch’s membrane imparts a metabolic insult to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells that leads eventually to the inflammatory-mediated death of these cells. Underlying mechanisms contributing to the pathology of Bruch’s membrane include the accumulation of ‘debris’ and malfunction of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) system resulting in diminished metabolic support of the retina and inefficient removal of toxic pro-inflammatory mediators. Saponins are amphipathic molecules that have a hydrophobic tri-terpenoid lipid region and hydrophilic glycosidic chains that allow for the dispersion of these deposits in Bruch’s and re-activation of the MMP system leading to a 2-fold improvement in the transport properties of the membrane. Such an intervention is expected to improve the bi-directional exchange of nutrients and waste products, thereby slowing the progression of dry AMD. This will be the first drug-based interventionist possibility to address dry AMD.
Psychotherapeutic Approaches to Addressing Mental Health Problems Among Elite Athletes
Authors: A. Stillman Mark , Farmer Hudson
Published: March 2021

Athletes suffer from clinical and subclinical mental health symptoms and disorders that affect their lives and their performance. The objective of this chapter is to describe methods of psychotherapy used in treating elite athletes and the unique challenges that clinicians may face when working with this population. Psychotherapy, either as the sole treatment or combined with other nonpharmacological and pharmacological strategies, is a vital component in the management of clinical and subclinical mental health symptoms and disorders in elite athletes. Effective psychotherapy takes the form of individual, couples/family or group therapy and should address athlete-specific issues while validated as normative by athletes and their core stakeholders. This chapter summarizes research on psychotherapy for elite athletes with clinical and subclinical mental health symptoms and disorders. Though psychotherapeutic interventions are similar to those with non-athletes, working with elite athletes can present unique challenges. These can include diagnostic ambiguity, barriers to help-seeking behaviors, and altered expectations about services. Other personality factors occasionally associated with elite athletes could create difficulties when engaging in psychotherapy. These challenges may prevent athletes from seeking or continuing treatment.

The theoretical discovery of Sanal flow choking in the cardiovascular system (CVS) demands for interdisciplinary studies and universal actions to propose modern medications and to discover new drugs to annul the risk of flow-choking leading to shock-wave generation causing asymptomatic-cardiovascular-diseases. In this chapter we show that when blood-pressure-ratio (BPR) reaches the lower-critical-hemorrhage-index (LCHI) the flow-choking could occur in the CVS with and without stent. The flow-choking is uniquely regulated by the biofluid/blood-heat-capacity-ratio (BHCR). The BHCR is well correlated with BPR, blood-viscosity and ejection-fraction. The closed-form analytical models reveal that the relatively high and the low blood-viscosity are cardiovascular-risk factors. In vitro data shows that nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide gases are predominant in fresh blood samples of the human being/Guinea-pig at a temperature range of 37–40 °C (98.6–104 °F). In silico results demonstrate the occurrence of Sanal flow choking leading to shock wave generation and pressure-overshoot in CVS without any apparent occlusion. We could conclude authoritatively, without any ex vivo or in vivo studies, that the Sanal flow choking in CVS leads to asymptomatic-cardiovascular-diseases. The cardiovascular-risk could be diminished by concurrently lessening the viscosity of biofluid/blood and flow-turbulence by increasing the thermal-tolerance level in terms of BHCR and/or by decreasing the BPR.
Anesthetic Consideration for Geriatric Patients
Authors: Amornyotin Somchai
Published: March 2021

The geriatric population experiences significant alterations of numerous organ systems as a result of the aging process. They also have several co-morbidities including hypertension, cardiac disease, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease and renal dysfunction. Geriatric patients are considerably vulnerable and especially sensitive to the stress of trauma, surgery and anesthesia. A high incidence of postoperative complications in this population is observed. Appropriate perioperative care was required for geriatric patients. To date, development in anesthesia and surgical techniques has substantially reduced morbidity and mortality in the geriatric patients. Several anesthetic techniques have been utilized for these patients. However, anesthesia-related mortality in geriatric patients is quiet high. All geriatric patients undergoing surgical procedures require a preprocedural evaluation and preparation, monitoring patients during intraprocedural and postprocedural periods as well as postprocedural management. This chapter highlights the physiological changes, preprocedure assessment and preparation, anesthetic techniques, intraprocedural and postprocedural management in geriatric population.
Lactate and Ketone Bodies Act as Energy Substrates as Well as Signal Molecules in the Brain
Authors: Takahashi Shinichi
Published: March 2021

Astroglia or astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the brain, are interposed between neuronal synapses and the microvasculature in the brain’s gray matter. This unique anatomical location allows astroglia to play pivotal roles in brain metabolism as well as in the regulation of cerebral blood flow. In particular, astroglial cellular metabolic compartmentation exerts supportive roles in dedicating neurons to the generation of action potentials and protects neurons against the oxidative stress associated with their high energy consumption. Key products of astroglia include lactate and ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate), which can also be produced avidly by muscle and liver, respectively. Therefore, brain cells, skeletal muscles, and hepatocytes constitute a metabolic compartmentation in the whole body. In this chapter, I will focus on brain cells, especially astroglia, since the impairment of normal astroglial function can lead to numerous neurological disorders including stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, and neuro-immunological diseases. I will also discuss the metabolic responses of brain cells in terms of food consumption and exercise. A better understanding of the astroglial metabolic response is expected to lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for diverse neurological diseases.
How Do Houses Make the Political Possible?
Authors: Mousie Joshua , Eisen Gabriel , Mahmood Mahaa ,   International Association for Environmental Philosophy
Published: March 2021

We develop the concept “political residency” in this essay to highlight both the foundational role of built environments in our political life as well as how access to, and displacement from, built environments is therefore a central feature of political harms and goods. The example of housing and housing displacement is instructive for developing our concept because it is central to most people’s everyday life, yet residential security and stability—having control with other inhabitants over shared, built spaces—is often missing from peoples’ lives, especially those who are most socially and politically vulnerable.

Context.—

Molecular diagnostics play an increasing role in the diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma. The type of molecular testing used in clinical practice has been poorly described.

Objective.—

To describe patterns of translocation testing for newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma.

Design.—

Children's Oncology Group (COG) trial AEWS1221 was a phase III randomized trial enrolling patients with newly diagnosed metastatic Ewing sarcoma from 2014 to 2019. Patients were required to have a histologic diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma, but translocation testing was not required. Sites provided types and results of any molecular diagnostics performed.

Results.—

Data from 305 enrolled patients were available. The most common type of molecular testing was fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) performed on the primary tumor (236 of 305 patients; 77.4%), with positive testing for an EWSR1 or FUS translocation in 211 (89.4%). Reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on the primary tumor was performed in 61 of 305 patients (20%), with positive results in 48 of 61 patients (78.7%). Next-generation sequencing was reported in 7 patients for the primary tumor and in 3 patients for metastatic sites. For all types of testing on either primary or metastatic tumor, 16 of 305 patients (5.2%) had no reported translocation testing. When evaluating all results from all testing, 44 of 305 patients (14.4%) lacked documentation of an abnormality consistent with a molecular diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma.

Conclusions.—

COG sites enrolling in a Ewing sarcoma trial have high rates of testing by FISH or PCR. A small proportion of patients have no translocation testing on either primary or metastatic sites. Next-generation sequencing techniques are not yet commonly used in this context.
