Authors: Saleh Rasha
Published: March 2023

Intellectual capital is a company’s most precious asset, and human resource management is responsible for how people are treated in businesses. The purpose of this article was to investigate the impact of motivating variables on employee performance in the higher education industry. A structured questionnaire was provided to 206 selected workers from public and private Lebanese institutions for the study. In this study, data mining techniques will be used to highlight the representational new forms where incentive influences the performance of personnel in institutions, must understand how to support management as well as engage with their staff. The results revealed a robust and statistically significant positive link between motivating variables and employee performance. A model is used in the study to elucidate the link between motivational elements and employee performance. As a result, the goal and challenge of staff development is to help individuals, teams, and organizational units acquire and adapt abilities and competencies.
Animalistic Attributes to Humans in the Greek Post-war Prose: From Realism to Modernism
Authors: Michailidis Tasos
Published: March 2023

This article analyzes the reasons, the means and the potential of using animalistic characteristics in the description of humans in Greek post-war prose (G.P-W.P). It deploys several seminal works of the Greek writers Nikos Kasdaglis, Alexandros Kotzias and Spyros Plaskovitis using specific criteria for their selection. The analysis of the works reveals that the animalistic motif is used to show the dehumanization of humans, caused by the extreme social conditions during World War II and the post-war era, which marked this generation of writers, and its allegorical dimension.

A REVIEW ON POLYCORIA
Authors: SANKEERTHANA N. , CHANDRIKA P. M. K. , BHANU Y. DIVYA , ARUNANJALI E. SAJITHA , RAMACHANDRA P. UJWALA
Published: March 2023

The presence of multiple iris holes is most commonly called pseudopolycoria, because only the central pupil has a sphincter muscle and can constrict. Iris holes without muscle tissue arise as congenital defects or develop from ocular trauma, inflammation, or degeneration and are thus not considered to be true accessory pupils. Multiple pupils, also known as true polycoria, are distinguished by the presence of a sphincter muscle around each iris hole, permitting synchronous constriction and dilation of the 2 pupils. One presumed mechanism for polycoria is a snaring or pinching off from the margin of another pupil. This patient had a small, oval-shaped accessory pupil, which may have separated from the temporal margin of the central pupil, leaving a thin bridge of no sphincter connecting tissue. The outlook for polycoria is generally good. You may not require any treatment if your visual impairment is minimal and doesn’t interfere with your daily life. However, if treatment is needed, pupilloplasty has so far shown positive results. If you have polycoria, it’s important to have regular check-ups with an eye doctor to monitor your vision and any changes your eyes may have. Having your eye checked regularly is also beneficial for your eyesight as a whole.

Assessment of Urban Resilience as an Approach towards Urban Sustainability: A Case of Gurugram India.
Authors: Kumar Pooja Lalit
Published: March 2023

Abstract: Indian cities are complex and interdependent system, extremely vulnerable to threats from both natural risks and manmade disasters caused by the growing urban population, migration, depleting resources and terrorism. There are abundant evidences on resource consumption and emissions, biodiversity and land use change to show that Indian cities are responsible for a large part of unsustainable trends which push the planet beyond its ecological boundaries. With expedited urbanization, it becomes imperative to prioritise vulnerability assessment in order to increase resilience and thus attain sustainability. Recent studies indicate that the resilience framework is not consistent; they have either been applied in a natural resource context or focused on a single factor such as socio- economic vulnerability or structural weakness of physical components. Secondly, there is lack of resilience framework for developing nations or local contexts as the applicability of results from developed countries are problematic to instrument technically or theoretically at native scale. Given the diversity of interpretations and application of the resilience assessment in complex urban systems, this paper looks at factors and parameters that influence the Indian cities with major focus on Gurugram.(the third wealthiest city in India, by per-capital income with a massive population but such phenomena growth has overwhelmed city planning even with the availability of funds).The paper further explores the resilience assessment framework based on the five defined and measurable domains including social (education equity, transportation access, health coverage, communication capacity), economic (employment, income, housing capital), institution (migration plan, flood coverage, political fragmentation by Indian institutions such as National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA), physical (e.g. water, sanitation, housing and land use), spatial (elevation, spatial and temporal indicators), human (e.g. literacy rate, health insurance) and Environment (e.g. ecosystem services, environmental policies).Various case examples are used to suggest that urban resilience can be conceived as a multidisciplinary framework to analyse the reactive, adaptive and transformative capacities of (and within) the complex urban system of Indian cities.
Efficient separation of quantum from classical correlations for mixed states with a fixed charge
Authors: Carisch Christian , Zilberberg Oded
Published: March 2023

Entanglement is the key resource for quantum technologies and is at the root of exciting many-body phenomena. However, quantifying the entanglement between two parts of a real-world quantum system is challenging when it interacts with its environment, as the latter mixes cross-boundary classical with quantum correlations. Here, we efficiently quantify quantum correlations in such realistic open systems using the operator space entanglement spectrum of a mixed state. If the system possesses a fixed charge, we show that a subset of the spectral values encode coherence between different cross-boundary charge configurations. The sum over these values, which we call "configuration coherence", can be used as a quantifier for cross-boundary coherence. Crucially, we prove that for purity non-increasing maps, e.g., Lindblad-type evolutions with Hermitian jump operators, the configuration coherence is an entanglement measure. Moreover, it can be efficiently computed using a tensor network representation of the state's density matrix. We showcase the configuration coherence for spinless particles moving on a chain in presence of dephasing. Our approach can quantify coherence and entanglement in a broad range of systems and motivates efficient entanglement detection.
Universal construction of decoders from encoding black boxes
Authors: Yoshida Satoshi , Soeda Akihito , Murao Mio
Published: March 2023

Isometry operations encode the quantum information of the input system to a larger output system, while the corresponding decoding operation would be an inverse operation of the encoding isometry operation. Given an encoding operation as a black box from a d-dimensional system to a D-dimensional system, we propose a universal protocol for isometry inversion that constructs a decoder from multiple calls of the encoding operation. This is a probabilistic but exact protocol whose success probability is independent of D. For a qubit (d=2) encoded in n qubits, our protocol achieves an exponential improvement over any tomography-based or unitary-embedding method, which cannot avoid D-dependence. We present a quantum operation that converts multiple parallel calls of any given isometry operation to random parallelized unitary operations, each of dimension d. Applied to our setup, it universally compresses the encoded quantum information to a D-independent space, while keeping the initial quantum information intact. This compressing operation is combined with a unitary inversion protocol to complete the isometry inversion. We also discover a fundamental difference between our isometry inversion protocol and the known unitary inversion protocols by analyzing isometry complex conjugation and isometry transposition. General protocols including indefinite causal order are searched using semidefinite programming for any improvement in the success probability over the parallel protocols. We find a sequential "success-or-draw" protocol of universal isometry inversion for d=2 and D=3, thus whose success probability exponentially improves over parallel protocols in the number of calls of the input isometry operation for the said case.

Authors: G Tamiraa , A Matias , H.M Ralf , Biasiol Giorgio
Published: March 2023

Several applications utilizing either synchrotron or conventional light sources require fastand efficient pixelated detectors. In order to cover a wide range of experiments, this workinvestigates the possibility to use InGaAs/InAlAs quantum well devices as photon detectorsfor a broad range of energies. Owing to their direct, low-energy band gap and high electron mobility, such devices may be used also at room temperature as multi-wavelength sensors from visible light to hard X-rays. Three different metal configurations were tested to create Ohmic contacts on quantum well detectors. The triple layers of Au/Ge/Ni is a suitable metal to create good Ohmic contacts for the readout electrode. When the beam is hitting from the readout side, Al could be involved as contacting metal with annealing without requiring the etching.

Authors: Tripathi Anurag , PK Kushal PK , RL Abhishek
Published: March 2023

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is increasingly turning out to become a global endeavor and has recently been extended to Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region. The diversity in the makeup of the nation-states in the region poses several challenges concerning the region's association with the BRI. For instance, Venezuela has borrowed heavily from China while being mired in economic troubles. The Venezuelan example serves as a caution to others as well as China on the intricacies of debt management and lending.  This paper aims to study the challenges and risks arising from the Belt and Road Initiative extending to Latin America and the Caribbean region. This paper also tries to analyses as to whether a win-win outcome can be achieved for both China and the LAC nation-states and as to what China seeks from the region. An attempt has been made to evaluate the role that the global environment might play in this evolving relationship between China and the LAC nation-states. The paper also analyse the post pandemic BRI investment in the LAC region.

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma investigação descritiva sob a perspectiva qualitativa através do método bibliográfico com vistas a colocar em discussão o processo político de compra e Transferência de Tecnologia (TT) dos caças GRIPEN NG.  A pesquisa é apresentada sob a forma de uma Análise Política (AP) do jogo político envolvendo os principais atores ligados à Indústria de Defesa do Brasil (IDB) durante os governos de Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995 – 2002), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva  (2003 – 2010) e Dilma Rousseff (2011 – 2016). Recorreu-se ao estudo do processo decisório envolvendo: inter-relações entre os principais atores, consensos, interesses e valores. O estudo permitiu identificar e analisar os principais atores políticos, como eles atuaram no jogo político? Por quais motivações eles atuaram? Foram discutidos o processo de compra e Transferência de Tecnologia (TT) suas vantagens e dificuldades e como procederam alguns dos meios de comunicação, ressaltando-se algumas características do comércio internacional de MD que são relevantes para uma melhor compreensão da abordagem levantada e algumas semelhanças e diferenças entre os governos FHC, LULA e Dilma, diante deste tipo política pública conformada durante seus governos. Este trabalho levanta um outro lado, pouco lembrado entre os bastidores do processo de compra e TT dos caças GRIPEN NG, tendo em vista a visão parcial da mídia, não atinentes aos interesses econômicos do complexo militar-industrial estadunidense e muitas vezes ocultado por interesses e valores do meio político dadas as características intrínsecas destes atores. Trata-se de um outro lado que justifica a necessidade de planejar e avaliar as políticas públicas de aquisição e TT de MD visando em primeiro lugar os interesses de defesa, soberania nacional e o desenvolvimento sócio-econômico.

Published: March 2023

Initial coin offerings (ICOs), or token offerings, play a critical role in the digital economy as they are blockchain-based smart contracts used to raise funds by issuing cryptocurrency tokens (Momtaz, 2020). This research aims to study the factors affecting the acceptance of ICOs for investment and to study whether cognition in ICO investment affects decision-making in investment in Thailand. In this quantitative study, the data were collected from online questionnaires completed by a sample group of 402 Thai investors who currently invest in financial instruments, and then the data were analyzed using binary logistic regression. The findings revealed that income, the value of investing in financial instruments, saving, perception towards media, and cognition in investment have an influence on the acceptance of ICOs. The paper suggests that investors who are interested in investing in ICOs should study the risks of investment thoroughly before investing. Besides, relevant government agencies should clearly set the rules and regulations in order to protect the inventors and, in the meanwhile, the fundraising could not be obstructed as well.
Making museum repositories greener
Authors: Tanja Kimmel
Published: March 2023

Tanja Kimmel (Institute of Conservation and PhD candidate Doctoral Programme in Philosophy) addresses the question of how art collections and conservation can become sustainable in her contribution "Making museum repositories greener". Sustainability poses a challenge for the art sector. While museums serve as role models for society and can thus contribute significantly to the discourse, they also have very high energy consumption and CO2 emissions due to their complex climatic technology. Kimmel mentions current initiatives and sustainability concepts of museums in Austria and abroad and discusses a case study featured in her dissertation that conducts a CO2 assessment of the central storage of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien in order to create the first profound data basis on climate-damaging emissions, which will then facilitate further action.
The Complete Overview of Impact of COVID 19 Pandemic on Ophthalmic Diseases: A Review
Authors: SHAMSI RAFAT JAHAN , SHAMS ABU RAIHAN , AJMAL MOHD , ANIS PARWEZ , FATIMA DR. NISHAT
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus
is a member of the coronavirus family. Fever, shortness of breath, and
pneumonic infiltrates in both lungs were among the disease’s clinical
signs. Along with severe respiratory infections, Covid-19 may also
encounter thrombosis complications, and other complications like
coronary syndrome, myocardial dysfunction and arrhythmia, acute kidney
injury, coronary syndrome, liver cell injury, gastrointestinal symptoms,
hyperglycaemia, ocular symptoms, neurological diseases, and
dermatological problems. The way in which ophthalmic services were
provided changed significantly during this time. Many people,
particularly those who suffer from dry eye, are spending a lot of time
at home due to continuous spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
pandemic. The difficulty for regular follow-up meetings impacting the
continuance of glaucoma therapy, cataract surgery, and other eye
diseases had been considerably much worse by establishment of strict
social distancing and restrictions in travelling during COVID 19
pandemic.

Methods: The PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate and healthcare system
evidences were searched from 2019 to 2022 for systemic review that were
published in English language.

Results: Both ocular disease and the overall health care system have
been impacted by the result of Covid 19 pandemic. Like other
professions, ophthalmology profession has experienced varied degrees of
pandemic impact. Ocular problems could develop as a direct result of the
SARS infection. The most frequent ocular symptom is viral
conjunctivitis, dry-eye problems. During lockdown, the overall symptoms
of dry eyes were worse than those who were under normal circumstances.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: A global health issue known as antimicrobial
resistance (AMR) transcends geopolitical boundaries. Surgical antibiotic
prophylaxis (SAP) is the process of administering antimicrobial to treat
contagions as a preventative measure, avoid them before, during, and
after surgery. During surgery or after surgery there may be chances of
acquiring infection. Infection at the surgical site is one such
complication known as surgical site infection (SSI). It is one of the
problems that reoccur the most frequently in clinical setting. Surgical
site infection is described as an infection that develops with in thirty
days of surgery and might be deep, affecting the organs reached during
surgery, or superficial, involving only the skin. SSIs are occasionally
the leading cause of death following surgical treatments. So, to reduce
these types of complication we use surgical antibiotic prophylaxis.

Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and healthcare system
evidence were searched from 2005 to 2022 for systemic review that was
published in the English language.

Result: Data were extracted for all primary outcomes, 38 reviews were
included, and review quality was evaluated using AMSTAR 2. The most
often reported administration of antibiotic, timing, drug class, and
primary result, respectively, were preoperative antibiotic
administration, first generation cephalosporin usage, and surgical site
infection (SSI). Results indicate that, in comparison to a placebo or no
SAP, SAP may, on average, decrease SSIs. The finding showed that
postoperative SAP did not differ significantly from intraoperative SAP
in reducing SSI.

Carbamazepine Induced Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: A Clinical Case Report of a Rare Adverse Drug Reaction
Authors: SHAMS ABU RAIHAN , AJMAL MOHD , JAIN CHARUL , SHAMSI RAFAT JAHAN
Published: March 2023

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are
rare but life-threatening skin reactions, often triggered by medications
such as antiepileptic drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and
certain antibiotics. Carbamazepine is one of the most common
antiepileptic medicine that causes SJS. A 13-year-old male with a
history of 2 years of epilepsy presented with a painful rash and
extensive blistering with mucous membrane involvement, along with fever
and Nilkolsky sign. Based on clinical presentation and previous
medication history, the patient was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson
syndrome, and carbamazepine was identified as the cause. Carbamazepine
was discontinued, and the patient was given nutritional support, wound
care, and intravenous fluids, along with steroid and antihistamine
treatment. The patient’s symptoms improved, and he was discharged after
13 days. Physicians must be aware of the potential for life-threatening
drug hypersensitivity reactions in patients taking certain medications,
particularly antiepileptic drugs. A thorough history and careful
monitoring are essential for the early recognition and treatment of SJS
and TEN. We want to advise all physicians that for patients with a
previous drug reaction to this class of medication, carbamazepine
prescribing should be avoided.

KEYWORDS: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis

Published: March 2023

Objective. To analyze the performance of intra-operative
neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) including somatosensory evoked
potentials (SEP) and motor evoked potentials (MEP) in patients with
pre-operative neurological deficit and to identify the high-risk factors
for failed IONM. Methods. Patients with pre-operative
neurological deficit undergoing spinal surgery between October 2010 and
August 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. The presence or absence of
SEP and MEP of target muscles were separately recorded and the high-risk
factors for failed IONM results were investigated. Results. A
total of 136 patients (86 males, 50 females) with an average age of
43.0±17.7 years were included. The muscle strength of recorded muscles
in 272 lower extremities included grade 1 in 25 muscles, grade 2 in 15,
grade 3 in 41, grade 4 in 134 and grade 5 in 57. The SEP records were
available in 177 (65.1%) lower extremities while MEP records were
available in 199 (73.2%) lower extremities. Significantly higher
success rates of SEP and MEP were obtained in lower extremities with
muscle strength of grade 4-5 than those of grade 1-3
(P<0.001). Patients with spinal trauma and cervical spinal
stenosis were associated with more prevalent failed IONM results.
Conclusions. The overall success rates of SEP and MEP were
65.1% and 73.2%, respectively. The high-risk indicators for failed
IONM results included muscle strength lower than grade 4, spinal trauma

Authors: Zhu Ying , Mao Wenhui , Hu Min , Chen Wen
Published: March 2023

Background Rising costs of medical service and the need to better
utilize limited resources makes the pursuit of hospital efficiency a key
objective for healthcare systems. There is inconsistent evidence
regarding the comparison of hospital efficiency. In China, limited
research has been conducted in comparing the efficiency of Chinese
public and private hospitals at the county-level, especially in western
China where national GDP falls in the lowest quartile. Method We
selected county-level hospitals from one western province by convenience
sampling and conducted questionnaire survey in 2018. We first measured
efficiency for the hospitals by bootstrap data envelopment analysis
(DEA) with the following input variables: hospital bed, expensive
equipment, medical staff and operating expenditure, and output variables
revenue from outpatient and inpatient services; the efficiency scores
were compared statistically between public and private hospitals by
normality and non-parametric tests. Then we conducted bootstrap
truncated regression on the estimated efficiency scores against
environmental and institutional factors. Results Sixty-four county
hospitals from 30 counties across the province were included in the
study: 52 public hospitals, and 12 private hospitals. Relative
efficiency was estimated to be 0.83 for public hospitals, and 0.96 for
private hospitals, with statistically significant difference (p=0.001).
Approximately 25.0% and 83.3% of public and private hospitals,
respectively, were efficient. The truncated regression showed that being
a private hospital (p<0.001), higher physician-nurse ratio
(p=0.007), and higher revenue from outpatient services (p=0.041) were
able to increase the efficiency by 0.158 (0.116, 0.199), 0.305 (0.190,
0.420), and 0.253 (0.129, 0.378), respectively. Conclusion The overall
efficiency of the county level hospitals in a western province of China
in 2018 was low. Private county hospitals were significantly more
efficient than their public counterparts. Outpatient service revenue and
physician nurse ratio were determinants of county hospital efficiency
and may serve as future policy intervention targets.

With the ever-changing social environment, individual creativity is
facing a severe challenge induced by stress. However, little is known
about the physiological mechanisms by which acute stress affects
creative cognitive processing. The current study explored the effects of
neuroendocrine response on creativity under stress and its underlying
cognitive flexibility mechanisms. The Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay
was used to assess salivary cortisol, which acted as a marker of
stress-induced activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)
axis. Eye blink rate (EBR) and pupil diameter were measured as
respective indicators of dopamine and noradrenaline released by
activation of the sympathetic-adrenal medullary (SAM) axis. The
Wisconsin Card Task (WCST) measured cognitive flexibility, while the
Alternative Uses Task (AUT) and the Remote Association Task (RAT)
measured separately divergent and convergent thinking in creativity.
Results showed higher cortisol increments following acute stress
induction in the stress group compared to the control group. Ocular
results showed that the stress manipulation significantly increased EBR
and pupil diameter compared to controls, reflecting increased SAM
activity. Further analysis revealed that stress-released cortisol
impaired the originality component of the AUT by increasing perspective
errors of the WCST. Serial mediation analyses showed that both EBR and
pupil diameter were also associated with increased perspective errors
leading to poor originality on the AUT. These findings confirm that
physiological arousal under stress can impair divergent thinking through
the regulation of different neuroendocrine pathways, in which the
deterioration of flexible switching plays an important mediating role.

Published: March 2023

A knowledge of the morphology of seeds and diaspores is an invaluable
resource that has prompted the compilation of descriptions and/or images
in a variety of media, including databases with standardized protocols
for trait measurement. The pressing need for new solutions to solve
environmental crises, together with advances in the application of
machine learning and image analysis to solve ecological problems, call
for an upgrade of the diaspore morphological datasets. Here, we present
DiasMorph, a dataset of morphological traits and images of diaspores
from 1,437 taxa in 513 genera, and 96 families from Central Europe,
totalling 94,214 records. Moreover, DiasMorph compiles information on
quantitative morphological traits extracted from the images following a
standardized and reproducible image analysis method, and include not
only traditional morphometric measurements, but also colour, and shape
features made available for the first time in a large dataset. The
quantitative traits records correspond to measurements of individual
diaspores, an input currently unavailable in traits databases that will
allow for several approaches to be used for a complete exploration of
the morphological traits of these species. We also included information
on the presence and absence of appendages and structures in the
diaspores of the evaluated taxa. By making these data available, we aim
to encourage initiatives to advance on new tools for diaspore
identification, further our understanding of morphological traits
functions, and provide means for the continuous development of image
analyses applications.

Keywords: diaspore appendages, dispersal unit, image dataset,
plant traits dataset, seed colour, seed morphology, seed shape, seed
size, seed traits.

This paper aims to show that Li-Fi now reached a state, where it can be considered a reliable wireless communication solution for future technologies. Currently, the Internet can be accessed using Wi-Fi, but it has its limitations too.  It is sufficient for current Internet services but insufficient with IoT and cloud-based services. In the upcoming decade, hard drives will be obsolete and everything will be on the cloud.  Modern Web applications i.e., 4K & 8K videos, games, high-resolution photos, etc. require fast bandwidth. Li-Fi opens a reliable door for the end-users to access future technology-based services at high speed.
The Regression Testing: It’s Effectiveness in Research and Practice
Authors: Hussain Farhan , Jamil Maryam , Muhammad Abbas , Irfan Nayab
Published: March 2023

Regression testing is an activity in testing that provides confidence when changes are being made in existing systems that the behavior of the system is not being harmed because of these changes. The main purpose of regression testing is to make sure that changes made in the system such as modification of existing features have not affected other features of the system that are not changed. Regression testing is performed by running a test case after the changes have been applied to the system. It is done by running all or some test cases that previously have been made to test the system. Test suites grow in size as software grows, and it becomes too costly to run or execute all test suites. Minimization of test suites allows for eliminating redundant test cases so that number of tests that are to be run will be reduced. On current search and practice on regression testing the paper tries to do a survey that finds out the gaps between these. This paper aims to conduct a survey on regression testing and identify the gaps in current research and practice. The paper aims to gather information on the current state-of-the-art techniques and tools used for regression testing, the challenges faced during regression testing, and the current trends and future directions in regression testing.

Caracterização de reações adversas associados ao uso de medicamentos biológicos em um hospital universitário em Salvador, Bahia
Authors: Magalhães Talita Karen , Ribeiro Pinto Charleston
Published: March 2023

Os medicamentos biológicos assumiram papel importante no tratamento de doenças autoimunes em todo o mundo. No Brasil há poucos estudos que avaliam a segurança do uso de novos biológicos. O principal objetivo deste estudo é determinar a frequência das reações adversas a medicamentos associados ao uso de medicamentos modificadores do curso da doença biológica entre pacientes acompanhados em um Centro de Infusão. Trata-se de um estudo de coorte com coleta de dados prospectiva e retrospectiva envolvendo pacientes recrutados no Centro de Infusão Biológicos do Complexo Hospitalar Universitário Professor Edgard Santos em Salvador, Bahia. Os resultados mostram que os pacientes afetados por artrite reumatóide e tratados com produtos biológicos durante um período de estudo de seis anos apontam que os eventos adversos relatados apresentavam-se leves a moderados e destacavam-se as manifestações clínicas relacionadas a infecções e doenças de pele. Conclui-se que as reações adversas do tipo B ocorreram em baixíssima frequência e que há necessidade do aumento da notificação das reações adversas a medicamentos para que seja possível o desenvolvimento de pesquisas com dados mais assertivos e completos.

No contexto das estratégias do tratamento da doença de Crohn, os imunobiológicos são uma das formas mais promissoras de combate a essa enfermidade que acomete milhares de pessoas no mundo e repercutem na qualidade de vida dos doentes. O adalimumabe é um medicamento que pode reduzir sinais e sintomas e provocar indução e manutenção da remissão da doença. O rash cutâneo, apesar de ser uma reação comum (cerca de 12%) é uma reação adversa rara com poucos casos descritos na literatura. Nesta perspectiva, o presente trabalho faz o relato do surgimento da reação adversa bem como o acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico realizado e estabelece a causalidade através da utilização de ferramentas para caracterização como os algoritmos e laudo anatomopatológico.
Population Aging, Silver Dividend, and Economic Growth
Authors: Park Donghyun , Shin Kwanho
Published: March 2023

This paper looks at the potential for a silver dividend for economic growth in aging societies as people live and work longer. It examines data from both high- and lower-income economies. The authors investigate the channels through which population aging affects economic growth using panel data from 166 economies. They find that lower total factor productivity growth is the main mechanism through which population aging harms economic growth. Labor shortages caused by aging are mostly offset by higher labor force participation rates among older people.
Credit situation of microenterprises in Poland – trends and implications
Authors: Andrzejak Maria , Weremczuk Arkadiusz , Wielechowski Michał
Published: March 2023

The study aim is to characterise and assess the credit situation of microenterprises in Poland in 2020-2022. We focus on credit dynamics and quality, including total loans, investment loans, working capital loans, and overdrafts. We use monthly data from Polish Credit Information Bureau (BIK). The research covers the period between July 2020 and July 2022. We observe a significant increase in the dynamics of loans granted to microenterprises at the beginning of 2021 and a downward trend in the following analysed months. The fluctuation is similar for investment loans, working capital loans, and overdrafts. We claim that a decrease in the dynamics and interest in loans by microenterprises is not dependent only on the COVID-19 pandemic. A substantial reduction in the value of the Portfolio Quality Index is noticed during the first months of the analysed period (second half of 2020). Then its value stabilizes at a low level. The Index of Portfolio Quality for all analysed industries shows similar values. The analysis results indicate an unfavourable trend that should worry the microentrepreneurs sector and may also negatively affect the entire economy.

The relationship between public expenditures and economic growth in the scope of economic classification: The case of Turkiye
Authors: Balkı Ali , Göksu Serkan
Published: March 2023

The relationship between public expenditures and economic growth is a
constantly debated topic among researchers. There are five main models used
to test Wagner's Law. This study aims to test Wagner's Law for Turkiye's
public expenditure and expenditure types within the scope of economic
classification by using all models in the literature. We tested the validity
of Wagner's Law in the Turkiye case using the ARDL method applied for the
years 1950-2020. Study findings prove that Wagner's Law is valid in Turkiye
using the Mann and Peacock models for public expenditure. In addition, the
findings support Wagner's Law only in transfer expenditures among
sub-components. These findings point out that public expenditure, which
increases more than gross domestic product, is dominated by transfer
expenditures. The fact that social transfers account for approximately 75%
of transfer expenditures in the last decade demonstrates that Turkiye
prioritizes the social state function.
