Aim: The 4th Davos Declaration, convened during the Global
Allergy Forum (GAF) in Davos, aimed to elevate patient care for patients
with atopic dermatitis (AD) by uniting experts and stakeholders. The
forum addressed the high prevalence of AD, with a strategic focus on
advancing research, treatment, and management to meet the evolving
challenges in the field. Methods: This multidisciplinary forum
brought together top leaders from research, clinical practice, policy,
and patient advocacy to discuss the critical aspects of AD, including
neuroimmunology, environmental factors, comorbidities, and breakthroughs
in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The discussions were geared
towards fostering a collaborative approach to integrate these
advancements into practical, patient-centric care. Results The
forum underlined the mounting burden of AD, attributing it to
significant environmental and lifestyle changes. It acknowledged the
progress in understanding AD and in developing targeted therapies but
recognized a gap in translating these innovations into clinical
practice. Emphasis was placed on the need for enhanced awareness,
education, and stakeholder engagement to address this gap effectively
and to consider environmental and lifestyle factors in a comprehensive
disease management strategy. Conclusion: The 4th Davos
Declaration marks a significant milestone in the journey to improve care
for people with AD. By promoting a holistic approach that combines
research, education, and clinical application, the Forum sets a roadmap
for stakeholders to work together to improve patient outcomes in AD,
reflecting a commitment to adapt and respond to the dynamic challenges
of AD in a changing world.
Olive Flowering dependence on winter temperatures - linking empirical results to a dynamic model
Authors: Friedlander Tamar , Smoly Ilan , Elbaz Haim , Engelen Chaim , Wechsler Tahel , Elbaz Gal , Ben-Ari Gloria , Samach Alon
Published: March 2024

Olive ( Olea europaea) yield depends on the number of
inflorescences forming in springtime. This number depends on the
sufficiency of cold periods and the lack of warm ones during the
preceding winter. Despite this basic understanding, a satisfactory
quantitative model forecasting the expected flowering under natural
temperature conditions is still lacking. Previous models simply sum the
number of ‘cold hours’ during winter, as a proxy for flowering, but
exhibit only mediocre agreement with empirical flowering values,
possibly because they overlook the order of occurrence of different
temperatures. Here, we tested the effect of heat spells of different
durations on olive flowering and gene expression. We constructed a
dynamical model, describing the response of a putative flowering factor
to the temperature signal. The crucial ingredient in the model is an
unstable intermediate, produced and degraded at temperature-dependent
rates. Our model accounts not only for the number of cold and warm hours
but also for their order. We used sets of flowering and temperature data
to fit the model parameters, applying numerical optimization techniques.
We validated the model outcomes and showed its robustness. This model is
the first step toward a practical predictive tool that could be used
under various temperature conditions.

Testing the Validity of the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) Hypothesis for Türkiye: Linear and Nonlinear Unit Root Tests
Authors: Sedefoğlu Gülşah , Özden Ünal Halit
Published: March 2024

In this paper, we test the validity of the purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis between Türkiye and its trading partners the European Union, China, and the US for the period from January 2001 to January 2020. We test the stationarity of the real exchange rates for the validity of the PPP hypothesis by applying linear and nonlinear unit root tests. We also employ Fourier-based tests to account for the structural changes that occurred in the considered period. Test results indicate that shocks are temporary, and the PPP hypothesis is valid for Türkiye.

Published: March 2024

Schreiber?s bent-winged bat Miniopterus schreibersii (Chiroptera) is a widespread, cave-dwelling, regionally migrating species whose genetic diversity was studied throughout its distribution area using mitochondrial and nuclear markers. Previous studies revealed little to no structuring of populations and established Anatolia to be a single refugium during the last glacial maximum. The Balkans were well covered in these studies but usually lacked samples from Serbia. We sequenced the mitochondrial hypervariable region 1 (HV1) gene in M. schreibersii collected at seven sites in Serbia to assess their genetic relatedness to other European and Asia Minor populations and check whether the Balkans exhibit a higher genetic diversity than Western Europe due to its closeness to Anatolia. We recorded nine haplotypes from Serbia, six of which had not been previously reported, with a haplotype diversity of 0.585. The remaining three were shared with individuals from Portugal, Greece, and Turkey. A single most common haplotype was present throughout the species distribution range, pointing to a well-connected population and as indicated by the shape of the haplotype network, a common origin, and a sudden population expansion. Results complement existing data on M. schreibersii having a non-structured population, adding valuable new data from the Balkans supporting the previous hypothesis about its Anatolian origin.

Authors: Agrawal Gunjan , Beniwal Man
Published: March 2024

In the current article, we modify the operators of exponential type
associated with the Baskakov operators so as to preserve the linear
functions. Initially, we obtain the moments and central moments for the
modified form. Further, we derive few convergence results including
Voronovskaja type asymptotic formula and validate our results through
graphical illustration. In the end, we obtain the difference estimate
between the exponential type operators associated with the Baskakov
operators and its modified form.
On topological gyrogroups

Published: March 2024

The concept of gyrogroups is a generalization of groupswhich do not
explicitly have associativity. In this paper, we show that every
first-countable strongly topological gyrogroup admits a left-invariant
metric generating the original topology of it and every T0 compact
paratopological gyrogroup is a Hausdorff compact topological gyrogroup.
Also, some basic properties on topological gyrogroups and paratopological
gyrogroups are discussed.

Government Assistance: A Growing, Underdisclosed Financing Source
Authors: Hess Ryan V. , Mills Lillian F.
Published: March 2024

SYNOPSIS

We examine whether, and to what extent, government economic assistance is associated with future firm leverage. We use novel data from public records to provide evidence on a distinct impact of government assistance on firm capital structure. Using a two-stage selection model and entropy balancing, we find that both the receipt and magnitude of government assistance are strongly associated with lower future measures of leverage. Further, we find only direct government assistance, such as cash grants, but not tax relief or loans is negatively associated with firm leverage. Also, we show government assistance often creates corporate obligations, but commonly, neither the assistance nor the obligations are disclosed under the new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Standard ASU 2021-10 that mandates disclosure of government assistance.

Geographic Information Systems—A Scavenger Hunt for Accounting and Auditing
Authors: Richardson Robert C. , Ritchie William J.
Published: March 2024

This experiential exercise provides an opportunity for students to learn how accounting and audit practices can be augmented using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). We illustrate how GIS aids in the collection of accounting data, verification of assets, risk assessment, and internal controls. Using a GIS field collection app, the students were provided a list of assets to locate and audit at their college/university. After completing the exercise, 70 senior-level accounting students at a public university provided feedback related to their experience and the effectiveness of GIS as a data collection and audit tool. The results of the questionnaire revealed that students found the GIS technology useful in data collection and analysis for both accounting and auditing, as well as for reinforcing the audit concepts taught in the classroom.

We aimed to unravel the mechanisms connecting adiposity to type 2 diabetes. We used MR-Clust to cluster independent genetic variants associated with body fat percentage (388 variants) and BMI (540 variants) based on their impact on type 2 diabetes. We identified five clusters of adiposity-increasing alleles associated with higher type 2 diabetes risk (unfavorable adiposity) and three clusters associated with lower risk (favorable adiposity). We then characterized each cluster based on various biomarkers, metabolites, and MRI-based measures of fat distribution and muscle quality. Analyzing the metabolic signatures of these clusters revealed two primary mechanisms connecting higher adiposity to reduced type 2 diabetes risk. The first involves higher adiposity in subcutaneous tissues (abdomen and thigh), lower liver fat, improved insulin sensitivity, and decreased risk of cardiometabolic diseases and diabetes complications. The second mechanism is characterized by increased body size and enhanced muscle quality, with no impact on cardiometabolic outcomes. Furthermore, our findings unveil diverse mechanisms linking higher adiposity to higher disease risk, such as cholesterol pathways or inflammation. These results reinforce the existence of adiposity-related mechanisms that may act as protective factors against type 2 diabetes and its complications, especially when accompanied by reduced ectopic liver fat.

Adiponectin has vascular anti-inflammatory and protective effects. Whilst adiponectin is known to protect against the development of albuminuria, historically the focus has been on podocyte protection within the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). The first barrier to albumin in the GFB is the endothelial glycocalyx (eGlx), a surface gel-like barrier covering glomerular endothelial cells (GEnC). In diabetes, eGlx dysfunction occurs before podocyte damage, hence we hypothesized that adiponectin could protect from eGlx damage to prevent early vascular damage in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Globular adiponectin (gAd) activated AMPK signalling in human GEnC through AdipoR1. It significantly reduced eGlx shedding and the TNFα-mediated increase in syndecan-4 (SDC4) and MMP2 mRNA expression in GEnC in vitro. It protected against increased TNFα mRNA expression in glomeruli isolated from db/db mice, and genes associated with glycocalyx shedding (SDC4, MMP2 and MMP9). In addition, gAd protected against increased glomerular albumin permeability (Ps’alb) in glomeruli isolated from db/db mice, when administered to mice (i.p) and when applied directly to glomeruli (ex vivo). Ps’alb was inversely correlated with eGlx depth in vivo. In summary, adiponectin restored eGlx depth, which was correlated with improved glomerular barrier function, in diabetes.
Epistasis Between HLA-DRB1*16:02:01 and SLC16A11 T-C-G-T-T Reduces Odds for Type 2 Diabetes in Southwest American Indians

Published: March 2024

We sought to identify genetic/immunologic contributors of type 2 diabetes in an indigenous American community by genotyping all study participants for both high resolution HLA-DRB1 alleles and SLC16A11 to test their risk and/or protection for T2D. These genes were selected based on independent reports that HLA-DRB1*16:02:01 is protective for T2D and that SLC16A11 associates with T2D in individuals with BMI<35kg/m2, and here test the interaction of the two loci with a more complete dataset and perform a BMI sensitivity test. We define the risk-protection haplotype of SLC16A11, T-C-G-T-T, as allele “2” of a di-allelic genetic model with three genotypes, SLC16A11*11, *12, and *22, where allele “1” is the wildtype. Both earlier findings were confirmed. Together in the same logistic model with BMI≥35, DRB1*16:02:01 remains protective, 0.73, while SLC16A11 switches from risk to protection OR = 0.57 (*22) and 0.78 (*12), respectively; an added interaction term was statistically significant (OR = 0.49 with *12). Bootstrapped (b=10,000) statistical power of interaction, 0.4801, yielded mean OR = 0.43. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated the interaction significant in BMI range 30-41. To investigate the epistasis we used the primary function of the HLA-DRB1 molecule, peptide binding and presentation, to search the entire array of 15mer peptides for both the wildtype and ancient human SLC16A11 molecules for a pattern of strong binding that was associated with risk and protection for T2D. Applying computer binding algorithms suggests the core peptide at SLC16A11 D127G, FSAFASGLL, might be key for moderating risk for T2D with potential implications for T1D.
Prediction of laser-welded deformation using artificial neural networks
Authors: Guo Zhenfei , Jiang Hao , Bai Ruixiang , Lei Zhenkun
Published: March 2024

When predicting welding deformation of the laser-manufactured vehicles and aerospaces, analytical solutions or empirical formulas are not usually accessible in complex problems. Based on the inherent deformation method, a machine learning (ML) approach for predicting welding deformation of welded structures is proposed based on an artificial neural network (ANN). This method is a promising substitute for analytical, empirical, and finite element (FE) solutions due to its accuracy, easy-to-use, efficiency, and universality. First, the outputs of the ANN are determined via dimensionless analysis and comparison of numerical results, which are dimensionally independent. Then, based on the inherent deformation method, the training and validation sets of the ANN are generated through an elastic finite element analysis. At last, the structure of the ANN is determined by analyzing the ANN prediction accuracy with different hidden layers, numbers of neurons, and activation functions. The results show that the ML solutions are in good agreement with the FE results, verifying the effectiveness and generalization ability of the proposed method.

Frontiers of Artificial Intelligence Versus Generative, Explainable and Quantum Technologies: An Overview
Authors: M* Ramchandra
Published: March 2024

Generative AI can produce content that is similar to human ingenuity, revolutionizing a number of industries with lifelike outputs like music and images. Misinformation and intellectual property rights give rise to ethical concerns. Notwithstanding these difficulties, generative AI has the potential to spur additional innovation in a variety of sectors, subject to moral issues. The goal of explainable AI (XAI) is to improve AI systems’ accountability and transparency, which is essential for their inclusion into industries like banking and healthcare. However, in order to effectively explain complicated AI systems, strong XAI techniques are required. Quantum artificial intelligence (QAI) promises improvements in cryptography and optimization by using quantum physics to speed up AI systems. However, there are still difficulties in creating practical quantum computers and improving quantum AI algorithms. The present overview provides new insights into developing a platform to explore AI in various arenas of life sciences and technologies and social up-gradation.

Published: March 2024

Morphology of the human tooth with variation in cusp numbers and patterns are of great interest to the anthropologist, morphologist, and the clinical dentist. Very rarely an extra cusp known as Cusp 6 can be seen in the permanent or primary mandibular molars particularly the first molars. Cusp 6 is a supernumerary cusp seen at the distal margin of the crown, lingual to the distobuccal cusp. Cusp 6 is also known by other names like “Tuberculum Sextum” or “Entoconulid” which are anthropologic terms as evident from the existing literature. The present article reports the occurrence of such a rare cusp in the permanent mandibular first molar of an 8-year-old Indian boy
THE ROLE OF TRANSPARENCY STANDARD: EFFECTIVITY IN PROVING THE BREACH OF FAIR AND EQUITABLE TREATMENT
Authors: Musu Clara , Trisnamansyah Purnama
Published: March 2024

The existence of agreements in foreign investment does not avoid disputes that occur in foreign investment agreements so there is a dispute resolution mechanism known as investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). One of the claims often used as the basis for ISDS claims is the Fair and Equitable Treatment (FET) principle. In practice, investors often fail to prove violations due to lacking elements in their proof. The transparency standard is one of the elements that can support investors in proving the violations. In practice, transparency standards are rarely used to prove violations of the FET principle because there are still no clear parameters regarding implementing these standards and what kind of transparency standards can be said to violate the FET principle. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of transparency standards in their position as part of the FET principle and to determine the effectiveness of transparency standards in proving violations of FET in ISDS practices. The research method used in writing this thesis is to take a normative juridical approach by studying and examining secondary data in the form of international arbitration case jurisprudence, bilateral agreements, and international customs. The data is collected through literature studies obtained from primary and secondary data, which are then analyzed qualitatively. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that transparency standards have a protective role for investors and host states as an instrument to resolve legal uncertainty about existing decisions and policies and as a basis for analytical considerations to distinguish between legitimate regulatory actions and takeover actions that can indirectly violate the FET principle. Nonetheless, the Tribunal did not explicitly mention the transparency standard, but it was effectively used as a basis for arguments in evidence.

Published: March 2024

The copyright reversion provision or known as reversionary right contained in Article 18, 30, and 122 Law of the Republic Indonesia Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright is a legal substance that has been regulated by various countries in the world. This provision is intended to provide justice for creators whose rights are often violated in the implementation of copyright transfer agreements with a sold-flat mechanism. Indonesia Copyright Law is not specifically determined an implementing rules or guidelines to exercise this rights of reversions provisions. In its application, there have been rejections from record producer company such as in the case of Constitutional Court Decision Number 63/PUU-XIX/2021. This article is placed to review the implementation of reversionary rights provisions in Indonesia by analyzing national dan international provisions and court decisions with normative juridical methods and comparative law, as well as analytical and exploratory descriptive approaches. The implementation of reversionary rights provisions in Indonesia will raise challenges of weak legal understanding and disruption of rejection by record producers, which will weaken aspects of the implementation process. The provisions of the stages of the submission notifications process and documentation of reversionary rights in writing applied by the United States and the Netherlands can be something that Indonesia develops in strengthening the implementation process of reversionary rights provisions. To exercise and enforce their reversion rights, songwriters can renegotiate the agreement with the record producer, file for compensation with the commercial court, or also join the Collective Management Organization.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND FASCISM PROPAGANDA IN IRAN: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE ANTHEM ‘HAIL COMMANDER’
Authors: Matin Alireza Azeri
Published: March 2024

Since its inception in 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) has enormously capitalized on exploiting youths, from the recruitment of child soldiers during the Iran-Iraq war to deployments of underage boys and girls for political socialization. Political socialization, in this sense, has involved reinforcing Shia/Revolutionary ideologies through mobilizing young people for various cultural activities and propaganda campaigns. As part of these efforts, and in line with IRI’s mounting domestic and international struggles, since March 2022, the government has heavily invested in propagating ‘Hail Commander’, an anthem produced and broadcast by the state-run media. Exclusively performed by 7-14 years old children in uniforms, the content of this anthem (lyrics and visual features) bears a close resemblance to the lyrics of Giovinezza (Juvenility) of fascist Italy (1924-1943) and the political ideals promoted by Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) in Nazi Germany (1926-1945). By drawing on theories of fascism, propaganda, and political socialization, and using comparative critical analysis, this study reveals the underlying propagandist messages in Hail Commander and its relations to the fascist/Nazi praxis and ideologies. It is further argued that the creation of Hail Commander should be seen as the revival of the child soldier phenomenon, albeit in the form of media representation.

Notas sobre la vigilancia epistemológica y la reconstrucción. Los aportes de Bourdieu, Lakatos y Habermas
Authors: Rigotti Sebastián Miguel
Published: March 2024

En este artículo de revisión analizamos la actitud de vigilancia epistemológica que Bourdieu propone para la construcción de conocimiento científico que se “está haciendo”. Luego, ubicamos esa actitud junto a las otras sugerencias y distinciones que nos brinda. A partir de allí, analizamos las propuestas de Lakatos y Habermas a lo largo de su obra acerca de la reconstrucción. Finalizamos nuestro recorrido con los puntos en común entre ambos autores, así como sus diferencias, y con esos aportes sugerimos la ampliación de la actitud reflexiva de vigilancia epistemológica hacia la ciencia que “ya está hecha”.
La conflictividad socioambiental en torno al agronegocio: una propuesta metodológica para su abordaje
Authors: Forlani Nicolás
Published: March 2024

En el transcurso de este siglo XXI se registran múltiples acciones contestatarias ante la lógica agrícola hegemónica en Argentina: el agronegocio. A las históricas resistencias libradas en el espacio rural, se ha sumado en el periodo contemporáneo una creciente conflictividad socioambiental con epicentro en los espacios urbanos emplazados en el área agrícola. El presente artículo ofrece una propuesta metodológica para analizar las acciones colectivas inmanentes a tales conflictos sobre la base de la adopción de un abordaje cualitativo de tipo socio-antropológico y la apelación a los métodos de estudio de caso y narrativo.

Methods: This paper focused on the high-quality development of China’s crop seed industry as the main research object by combining previous research findings of studies based on the connotation of high-quality development of the crop seed industry and constructed the evaluation index system of high-quality development of China’s crop seed industry which covers five dimensions, namely, innovation-driven development, green and sustained development, coordinated and comprehensive development, opening-up and strengthened development, and share-and-promote development, The Entropy method, Dagum’s Gini coefficient, Kernel’s density estimation, and panel regression methods were used to comprehensively analyze the spatial and temporal evolution, regional differences, and driving factors of the level of high-quality development of the crop seed industry in 30 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) of China from 2011 to 2020. Conclusions: After systematic analysis, it was concluded that (1) the overall level of high-quality development in China’s crop seed industry has stabilized, and progress has been made. (2) The overall inter-regional differences among the four major regions showed a gradual upward trend, with the inter-regional differences serving as the primary source of the differences and the contribution rate of various inter-regional differences demonstrating an upward trend. (3) Innovation capacity, the cultural and educational level of rural residents, the development of rural infrastructure, national financial support, and market-oriented approach are important factors driving the high-quality development of the crop seed industry in Chinese provinces (districts and municipalities).
