Impact of Financial Globalization on Environmental Degradation in the E7 Countries: Application of the Hybrid Nonparametric Quantile Causality Approach
Authors: Adebayo Tomiwa Sunday
Published: June 2022

Despite their economic success, the E7 countries have not been able to provide environmental protection. These countries, on the other hand, will not be able to maintain their economic progress if they do not also protect their natural resources. In this regard, the goal of this research is to examine the impact of financial globalization on CO2 emissions in the E7 countries. Utilizing a quarterly dataset between 1990Q1 and 2018Q4, we applied the novel quantile-on-quantile regression (QQR) and nonparametric causality in quantiles approaches to assess these interconnections. Furthermore, the quantile cointegration outcomes revealed cointegration between financial globalization and CO2 in each of the E7 nations. Furthermore, the QQR outcomes disclosed that in the majority of the quantiles, the effect of financial globalization on CO2 is positive for Brazil, China, India and Turkey, thus validating the pollution-haven-hypothesis. Moreover, for Indonesia, Russia and Mexico, in the majority of the quantiles, the effect of financial globalization on CO2 is negative, therefore validating the pollution-halo hypothesis. Moreover, the novel causality in quantiles approach disclosed that financial globalization can predict CO2 emissions for the E7 nations. Therefore, any policy channeled towards financial globalization will have a significant influence on CO2 emissions in the E7 economies. In light of these significant observations, the research suggests that Mexico, Russia, and Indonesia should be more financially interconnected, whereas China, India, Turkey, and Brazil should reevaluate their financial globalization policies.

Prospek perikanan di Indonesia sangat baik, hal ini ditinjau dari segi potensi yang cukup besar di perairan Indonesia sangat baik, sedangkan tingkat pemanfaatannya sangat rendah. Oleh karena itu usaha penangkapan sangat perlu ditingkatkan. Indonesia memiliki potensi laut seluas 12.123.383 hektar, namun dalam pemanfaatannya pada tahun 2014, baru sebesar 2,7% atau 325.825 hektar, artinya masih ada 97,3% yang masih bisa dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat Indonesia (Wibowo H. dkk. 2019).Desa Wamesa merupakan salah satu desa di Provinsi Papua Barat, yang memanfaatkan sumberdaya perikanan masyarakat menggunakan alat tangkap pancing rawai dasar menggunakan umpan alami seperti ikan slyer (Anodontostoma chacunda) dan ikan bulanak (Mugil sp), namun nelayan belum mengetahui penggunaan umpan alami apa yang paling cocok dan memberikan hasil tangkapan terbanyak. Hasil tangkapan rawai dasar berupa ikan-ikan demersal dan karang serta ikan pelagis kecil lainnya.Berdasarkan pemikiran di atas, maka dilakukan penelitian tentang pengaruh penggunaan jenis umpan terhadap jumlah tangkapan pancing rawai dasar di wilayah Papua Barat. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di perairan Desa Wamesa Kecamatan/distrik Kambrauw Kabupaten Kaimana Provinsi Papua Barat yang berlangsung dari bulan Agustus sampai Desember 2021. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk Membandingkan jenis umpan apa yang memberikan hasil tangkapan yang terbanyak pada rawai dasar. Mengetahui komposisi hasil tangkapan dengan pancing rawai dasar berdasarkan jenis umpan, yaitu umpan ikan slayer (Anodontosoma chacunda) dan umpan ikan bulanak (Mugil sp).Dari hasil penelitian, jumlah hasil tangkapan pancing rawai dasar selama 5 hari pengoperasian sebanyak 45 ekor ikan dimana umpan ikan slayer (Anodontosoma chacunda) berjumlah 29 ekor lebih banyak dibandingakan dengan pancing rawai dasar yang menggunakan umpan ikan bulanak (Mugil sp) dengan jumlah 16 ekor, hal ini menunjukan umpan ikan slayer (Anodontosoma chacunda) lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan ikan bulanak (Mugil sp), tetapi secara statistik nilai uji T memberikan hasil Thitung = 0,2234 lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan Ttable = 2,3060 menerangkan bahwa Ho diterima memberikan arti bahwa tidak ada perbedaan yang nyata dari perlakuan jenis umpan ikan slayer (Anodontosoma chacunda) dan ikan bulanak (Mugil sp) yang digunakan pada pancing rawai dasar.

Demersal fish species, such as Red snappers (Etelis sp.), have high economic value and are in high demand in both domestic and export markets. The fishing gear used by fishermen in the Manado Bay waters to catch demersal fish, especially Red snappers, is the bottom hand line. The lack of complete information about the distribution of the Red snappers in their habitat, the size of the fish and the fishing time and techniques are the main problems.This study is aimed at providing the legal size, fishing technique, and fishing season in relation with feeding period, bait type, and correct fishing grounds for red snapper Etelis sp.. The study utilized explorative method through direct observations and interviews. During the study, 986 individuals of red snappers were caught, 517 individuals in morning operation and 469 in afternoon operation. On monthly basis, there were 270 fish caught in July, 165 fish in February, 154 fish in January and the rest was distributed in other months. Red snappers Etelis sp. were caught mostly at 04:30-05:00 in the morning and 17:01-17:30 in the afternoon. The fish catches consisted of size range of >620 mm TL (110 ind), 630-700 mm TL (452 ind), 710-760 mm TL (333 ind), and 770-800 mm TL (91 ind).
Observation of strain relaxing in nanoscale WS2 monolayers grown on SiO2/Si by organic solvent treatment

Published: June 2022

We investigated the optical properties of nanoscale WS2 monolayers treated with organic solvents. The photoluminescence spectra changed significantly before and after methanol treatment. The sharp spectral peak of the neutral exciton in the methanol-treated sample was shifted to the higher energy side by 18 meV compared to the peak in untreated sample. This shift made the emission peak due to charged excitons clearly visible. Detailed fitting analysis revealed that the methanol treatment relaxed the tensile strain in the nano-sized WS2 monolayer grown on SiO2/Si substrate. In addition to the measurements in air, the results in vacuum and their temperature dependence also support this interpretation. Since this methanol treatment is simple, does not cause sample loss, and does not reduce luminescence efficiency, it may be an effective means to relax strain from nanoscale transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers.

Published: June 2022

We report highly thermal-stable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by introducing an interfacial modification layer (IML), consisting of the N,N′-bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl)-benzidine (NPB):MoO3 bulk heterojunction. The IML can increase the thermal resistance of 4,4′-cyclohexylidenebis[N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)benzenamine] (TAPC) hole transport layer to be higher than its glass transition temperature. The OLED with the IML can endure a high temperature of 100 °C with a current efficiency of 51.82 cd A−1 and a low-efficiency roll-off. The optimized thermal stability of OLED is not only due to the thermally stable IML but also resulted from the well-matched energy level between anode and TAPC with the help of IML.

MOEMS-based Lens-Assisted Beam Steering for Free-Space Optical Communications
Authors: Goldman Daniel , Serra Paul , Kacker Shreeyam , Benney Lucas , Vresilovic Daniel , Spector Steven , Cahoy Kerri , Wachs Jordan
Published: June 2022

Free-space optical communication (FSOC) systems require precise pointing, acquisition, and tracking to send and receive optical beams for effective operation. In a lens-assisted beam steering (LABS) system, light is steered by controlling the emission location in a focal plane. The emitted light is directed into the scene by a lens, like a camera but operating in reverse. In this paper, we demonstrate a novel free-space optical communication link using a micro-opto-electro-mechanical-system (MOEMS) based photonic integrated circuit (PIC) for LABS between multiple receive locations. The MOEMS PIC operates via selective electrical actuation of an array of small grating switches (30 μm x 30 μm footprint, 100 μm pitch). Data rates up to 10 Gbps and a 3 dB optical bandwidth covering the infrared C and L bands (1530 nm to 1625 nm) are measured over a 1 m free-space link distance. Eye diagrams indicate a quality communication link for data rates up to 10 Gbps and bit-error-rates < 10-10 are measured for on-off keying (OOK) modulation. A measured beam profile is propagated into the far-field via simulation, and used to calculate link budgets for example CubeSat crosslink and downlink scenarios. Link budget calculations indicate potential > 1 Gbps CubeSat FSOC crosslinks for link lengths > 1000 km and 1 W of input optical power, using identical 90 mm transmit and receive apertures and a commercially-available fiber-coupled InGaAs avalanche photodiode (APD) receive detector.
Marzocco and Shir o Khorshid. Origin and decline of the Medici Persian diplomacy (1599-1721)
Authors: Trentacoste Davide
Published: June 2022

Diplomatic relations between two states are never simply bilateral relations as there is always a broader context in which they can be framed and, very often, they do not arise from nothing but are the result of specific events. Like all human vicissitudes, they have a beginning, a development and an end. The relations between Medici Tuscany and Safavid Persia have unfortunately never been the subject of extensive enough studies that go beyond the few things already known from decades ago. However, the continuous search for sources and their analysis in the light of a different historiographic approach can provide a new understanding of certain events and a more precise chronological and historical framework.

Published: June 2022

Background: Dorsal perforation due to stomach ulcer is a rare condition and it should always be included in the differential diagnosis of acute upper quadrant pain. Our report evaluates the presentation, diagnosis, management and outcomes of this uncommon acute surgical condition. Case presentation: The aim of this case report was to review the current literature and report on a case involving a 65-year-old Caucasian female presented to the emergency department with persistent right upper abdominal pain, nause, vomiting and loss of appetite. Contrast-enhanced CT scans of abdomen showed a dorsal stomach perforation with free air and contrast intraperitoneal and in retroperitoneal space. A posterior gastric perforation of peptic ulcer was confirmed by exploratory laparotomy; ulcerectomy with primary suture closure was performed. The patient was discharged 25 days after the operation. Conclusions: When pneumoperitoneum was confirmed by radiological examination, posterior perforation of peptic ulcer should be actively excluded in high risk patients. A high index of suspicion is mandatory.

Published: June 2022

Bulky upper arms with skin and fat excess have become a common problem with aging and especially after the massive weight reduction. Arm contouring procedures can be divided into three groups, those dealing with skin redundancy, lipodystrophy, and a combination of both which may require only skin excision, liposuction or both. Lipobrachioplasty is a method to address these issues safeguarding the vascular, lymphatic and neural tissue and hence reduces the rate of complications but resulting in a good contour. Here, we present three cases of bilateral lipodystrophy managed with lipobrachioplasty with good outcomes.

Published: June 2022

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) are a rare soft tissue and viscera neoplasm with unknown etiopathogeny. They were first described in the lung, with a wide range of synonyms. They can invade adjacent organs, recur after excision or give distant metastases. The debate persists about their inflammatory or tumor, benign or malignant nature.

Introduction

There are three combination immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)–based regimens in the first-line setting for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Currently, there is limited real-world data for clinical outcomes and toxicity in mRCC patients treated with first-line ICI-based regimens.

Methods

We performed a retrospective review of 49 mRCC patients treated with ICI-based combination regimens in the standard of care setting at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University from 2015–2020. We collected baseline data from the electronic medical record including demographic information and disease characteristics. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) were collected from clinic notes and laboratory values. The primary clinical outcomes measured were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR).

Results

The median age was 65 years, and most patients (80%) were males. The majority were White (86%) and had clear cell RCC (83%). Most patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 (43%) or 1 (45%). Approximately one-half (49%) had at least three sites of distant metastatic disease. Most patients (88%) received nivolumab and ipilimumab. More than one-half (53%) of patients experienced an irAE, with 13 (27%) patients having treatment delayed and 18% discontinuing treatment for toxicity. The median OS was not reached, and the median PFS was 8.0 months per a Kaplan-Meier estimation. More than half of patients (53%) had a PFS > 6 months, and 22% had PFS > 1 year. The ORR was 33% for the entire cohort, and 7% of patients had a complete response.

Conclusion

We presented real-world efficacy and toxicity data for front-line ICI combination treatment regimens. The ORR and median PFS were lower in our cohort of patients compared to the available data in the clinical trial setting. This was likely because of more advanced disease in this study. Future studies should provide additional data that will allow comparisons between different ICI combination regimens for untreated mRCC.

The current paper aims to provide a primer on the application of inductive qualitative research method for researchers in the fields of organizational behavior and human resource management. With this goal in mind, I introduce the definition and characteristics of the inductive qualitative research method, and to better understanding of this method, I discuss common misconceptions about qualitative research. Further, I describe each step of the entire procedures of conducting inductive qualitative research and explain key points to consider in each step. I also discuss how to write academic research papers apt for presenting qualitative research by explaining basic components of those papers and providing example writings from the existing literature. I hope that this paper provides easily accessible and practical guidelines on how to conduct inductive qualitative research and promotes applications of the inductive qualitative research methods in management research.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a global health crisis and is a source of increased morbidity and mortality in the world. COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 affects the proliferation of lymphocytes, but the clinical significance of lymphocytes remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between lymphocytes with the clinical severity of COVID-19. The retrospective study design collected medical records of demographic data, chest X-rays, and laboratory tests at the time of hospital admission for confirmed patients. Furthermore, the severity of the disease was divided into moderate, severe, and very severe degrees. The severity of lung injury was assessed based on the Brixia Score, and the clinical outcome of patients had criteria of recovered and died. This study has collected 100 COVID-19 patients above 60 years (39%) with male gender (66%). The Majority of patients with low lymphocyte levels (51%), severe lung injury (45%), and one-third of the treated cases ended in death (33.0%), and most of them recovered (67%). Furthermore, low lymphocyte levels were associated with severe and critically ill severity and death (p<0.05). Almost all lung damage was detected in severe and critically ill severity, and Brixia scores were detected high in patients with low lymphocyte levels (51.0%)(p>0.05). lymphocyte can be an indicator of clinical severity and mortality for COVID-19 patients. This study shows that lymphocyte count may help identify patients with severe diseases. Therefore, observation of the lymphocyte count is necessary for the initial screening, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19 patients.

Discharge planning is a systematic process that includes assessment, preparation, and coordination and involves various disciplines to provide optimal service. In Indonesia, there are 62 underdeveloped areas that have limitations in health services. Discharge planning in remote areas requires adaptation to be accepted in the community. This review aims to find an effective patient discharge strategy to be implemented in rural areas. Telepharmaceuticals and telerobots act as discharge planning interventions in remote areas. Remote monitoring, such as a pharmacological intervention in late life (PILL) program that focuses on monitoring the treatment of patients with polypharmacy. Interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) is suitable to be carried out in remote areas where limited facilities stimulate health workers to collaborate. Patient activation measure (PAM) to assess the ability and engagement of patients in maintaining their health. In addition, interventions were found in the form of making patient-centered guidelines in the form of ROADMAP (rural options at discharge - model of active planning).
