The impact of currency depreciation and trade liberralzation on trade balance of Sri Lanka
Authors: Keembiyahetti Nandasiri , Naranpanawa Athula
Published: July 2020

This study examines the impact of trade liberalization and currency depreciation on the trade balance of Sri Lanka. Using the bounds testing ARDL approach for co-integration, which is more suitable for small finite sample cases, we found that there was a long run co-integrating relationship between the trade balance and its determinants; particularly the Trade Openness and Real Exchange Rate. Our findings suggest that 1% increase in trade openness leads to 0.48% deterioration, while 1 % depreciation of local currency leads to 0.45% improvement in the Trade Balance Ratio of Sri Lanka given all else remaining unchanged. These findings solve the fundamental dilemma, why Sri Lanka’s Trade Balance continued to deteriorate; despite of substantial currency devaluations/depreciations allowed during past five decades. Our findings conclude that a more powerful negative impact arising from trade openness fully offset the positive impact arising from currency depreciation; thereby leading the Trade Balance into deficit, eventually in the long run. Accordingly, we found trade liberalization and devaluation are counter-cyclical as policy tools.
Education, attitudes and agricultural biodiversity: an application of randomised control method
Authors: Athukorala P. P. A. Wasantha
Published: July 2020

The study1 attempts to investigate the role of education and environmental concerns in conserving ‘agricultural biodiversity’ of diverse farming systems in Sri Lanka. It analyses how farmers’ valuation of agricultural biodiversity alters with education on agricultural biodiversity and environmental concerns. The Choice Experiment (CE) Method, combined with Randomized Control Method (RCM) was used to collect data, while models such as Conditional Logit (CL) and Random Parameter (RP) Logit were used to analyse the collected data. The results clearly illustrate that farmers’ education level, as well as environmental concerns play a major role in the conservation of agricultural biodiversity. The overall findings of this study will help the policy makers to implement relevant policies in reducing degradation of agricultural biodiversity, which is increasingly posing a major impediment to agricultural growth, to the environmental protection and sustainable development.

Theoretical compliance of money demand function of Sri Lanka
Authors: Keembiyahetti Nanadasiri , Sarath H. K. , Gunasinghe Chandika
Published: July 2020

This paper derives the monetarist version of broad money demand function for Sri Lankan economy using the quarterly data for the period from 1988: Q1 to 2012: Q4. This study employs both Johansen and Juselius (1990) multivariate method and Granger’s (1987) two-step method for cointegration to obtain structural values of the long-run money demand function: The stability of the model is tested using recursive coefficients and cumulative sum of squared residuals (CUSUM) tests. Results obtained from both co-integration testes suggest that the income elasticity of broad money demand is equal to one. Hence, it would provide an important guidance for the monetary authorities to regulate money supply as the intermediate target in order to achieve the final goal/goals of economic and price stability via the monetary transmission mechanism. This study concludes that growth of money over and above the real GDP growth will result inflation. The structural estimate received for inflation is higher than that of the real Treasury bill rate. Both the estimates are in theoretically expected signs and are also statistically significant. It means that public in Sri Lanka tend to substitute money for more real assets than the alternative financial assets during the time of higher inflation. Our tests on the stability of the broad money demand function confirmed that it is stable over time.
Why the fertilizer subsidy should be removed: key factors that actually derive the fertilizer demand in paddy sector of Sri Lanka
Authors: Rodrigo Chatura , Abeysekera Lakmal
Published: July 2020

This paper examines the factors affecting demand for fertilizer in paddy production in Sri Lanka. A panel-data analysis (1990-2011) reveals that demand for fertilizer is negatively affected by the price of fertilizer and the price of seed paddy and positively by the price of labour. Despite strong demand for fertilizer in commercial paddy production, the impact of the subsidy on demand is low. Results indicate that mechanization will prevent overuse of fertilizer and a seed paddy subsidy will ensure self-sufficiency in rice production. We recommend that the fertilizer subsidy be removed from non-commercial areas in the short-term and from commercial areas in the long-term.
Basic elements of Buddhist economics
Authors: Alexandrin Glen , Dhammajothi Beligalle
Published: July 2020

This paper attempts to show that the quantitative Buddhist Economics (BE) “can be done” with the modern techniques which are well known and available to the community in any of the society in the world. We wish to emphasize the importance of this point because we feel that it is investigation of this kind which will take BE out of the underworld of economics and make its input and important and necessary part of traditional economics. The data and information were collected from deferent sources available in Buddhist literature and discussion with key informants who practice the Buddhism. BE starts with a belief in the power of the people and in their ability to change their thought and thus their economics and their environment. This shapes the distinction draw between social science and social actions, between thought, descriptions and acts. The world is spun by the mind. Buddhism asks you to give up your ego and this life for the benefit of others and for the happiness of your future life. Buddhist saints, like all the rest of saints, did not have fun. Being with a realized being is no fun: it is being with emptiness itself. BE tries to decipher some of this: to look at this secular and religious lives simultaneously. The conclusion is – as well we know – it is possible to do that but it is not easy. BE tries to explain that and to give some guide-lines: on the demand and supply side.

QUANDO FINÌ IL COLONIALISMO ITALIANO? TRE DECOLONIZZAZIONI A CONFRONTO
Authors: Morone Antonio M.
Published: July 2020

The end of Italian colonialism cannot simply be limited to Italy’s military defeat during the Second World War and the consequent loss of colonial possessions. In actuality, the Republic of Italy clamored for the restitution of the former colonies until the rejection of the Bevin-Sforza Compromise at the U.N. General Assembly in 1949. It is therefore justifiable to point out the reality of an Italian colonialism during the Republican era, with its specific characteristics, which was the premise of the decolonization processes for Libya, Eritrea and Somalia. This note takes into consideration the specificity of these three paths of decolonization with reference to the Italian transition from a renewed colonial policy to a real postcolonial one.
«LA COGNIZIONE DEL DOLORE» DI CARLO EMILIO GADDA: IL «ROMANZO FAMILIARE» DI UNA VITA
Authors: Martignoni Clelia
Published: July 2020

This essay aims at analysing La cognizione del dolore as a “family novel” which was continued by Carlo Emilio Gadda for nearly all his life. A key element of this investigation is the notion of â€œcomplexityâ€ which Gadda acquired during his university studies in the field of philosophy and which is present in his poetics and many aspects of his literary output. Such a notion exerts a strong influence on the obsessively recurring themes as well as the manifold formal and narrative techniques which are constantly hybrid and based on combinatorial mechanisms.
The Global Usability Score Short-Form for the simplified assessment of dry powder inhalers (DPIs) usability
Authors: Povero Massimiliano , Turco Paola , Bonadiman Luca , Dal Negro Roberto W.
Published: July 2020

Background: The choice of the Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) to prescribe is a critical issue. The estimation of DPIs usability depends on the objective assessment of several indices related to both subjective and objective determinants. The Global Usability Score (GUS) Questionnaire is a comprehensive tool usable for checking, comparing, and ranking inhalers’ usability objectively in real life, but it takes some time to fill.Aim: The aim of this study was to favour the quicker check of DPIs usability in clinical practice by means of a simplified short-form GUS (S-GUS) Questionnaire, while maintaining the high specificity and sensitivity of the original, extended version of the Questionnaire (O-GUS questionnaire).Methods: The usability of the six most prescribed DPIs was assessed in 222 patients with persistent airway obstruction and needing long-term inhalation treatments. LASSO regression and multicollinearity test were used to select the subset of questions of the O-GUS questionnaire, with the highest information power. Each item was then scored using the corresponding coefficient in the linear regression (normalized at 50 as the O-GUS score). Agreement between the original and the short-form questionnaire was evaluated using the Cohen’s kappa statistic (κ). The overall S-GUS values obtained for each DPI were then compared to those from the O-GUS, in the same patients, using a Bayesian indirect comparison (IC) model.Results: After the statistical selection of the items mostly contributing to the overall score, the novel S-GUS questionnaire consists of twelve items only. Nine items are related to patients’ opinion before DPIs handling, and three to the nurse’s assessment after DPIs practicality. O-GUS and S-GUS score were strongly correlated (R2=0.9843, p<0.0001) and the usability score calculated for each DPI by means of the O- and of S- GUS overlapped almost completely (κ=84.5%, 95% CI 81.3% to 89.2%). Furthermore, S-GUS was much faster to complete than O-GUS (mean time 6.1 vs 23.4 minutes, p<0.001). Estimates of S-GUS, obtained from the IC model, allowed to propose a simple classification of usability: “good” by GUS values >25; “pretty good” by values ≤25≥15, and “insufficient” by values <15.Conclusions: The S-GUS proves as much specific and suitable as the extended O-GUS questionnaire in measuring DPIs usability, while maintaining the same high sensitivity. As the time required for its use is quite shorter, S-GUS is also particularly suitable and helpful in current clinical practice.

Complete boundedness of multiple operator integrals
Authors: Coine Clément
Published: July 2020

In this paper, we characterize the multiple operator integrals mappings that are bounded on the Haagerup tensor product of spaces of compact operators. We show that such maps are automatically completely bounded and prove that this is equivalent to a certain factorization property of the symbol associated with the operator integral mapping. This generalizes a result by Juschenko-Todorov-Turowska on the boundedness of measurable multilinear Schur multipliers.

Perancangan Sistem Navigasi Terestrial untuk Pesawat Udara Wing in Surface Effect 8 Penumpang (WISE-8)
Authors: Prabowo Achmad Setiyo
Published: July 2020

Pesawat udara Wing in Surface Effect (WiSE) adalah pesawat udara yang melakukan terbang cruise hanya beberapa meter di atas permukaan air laut, dengan memanfaatkan surface effect. WiSE-8 ini merupakan suatu sarana transportasi yang nantinya akan dioperasikan di perairan laut pada beberapa daerah di Indonesia. Mengacu pada aturan sistem transportasi udara yang diterbitkan oleh International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) dan aturan sistem transportasi laut dari International Maritime Organization (IMO), maka peralatan penunjang yang wajib tersedia adalah radio komunikasi dan peralatan navigasi pada rentang frekuensi yang telah ditentukan. Salah satu sistem navigasi yang akan digunakan WiSE adalah sistem navigasi berbasis satelit yaitu sistem Global Positioning System (GPS). Saat ini sistem GPS masih bisa dipakai secara bebas hanya diperlukan sebuah alat penerima (receiver) GPS. Apabila suatu saat penggunaannya akan dibatasi maka akan hilang juga kebebasan penggunaan sistem GPS. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini difokuskan pada penerapan sistem navigasi yang akan digunakan oleh WiSE-8 berbasis peralatan navigasi terestrial. Sistem navigasi terestrial untuk WiSE-8 yaitu dengan menggunakan sistem Directional Finder (DF). Sistem ini memberikan informasi berupa relatif bearing terhadap suatu stasiun radio pemancar di darat, dengan tingkat akurasi sistem ini adalah 1o. Sehingga tingkat kesalahan estimasi posisi terkecil pada rute Dumai-Batam dengan menggunakan 2 sinyal sebesar radius 1,4037 NM. Tingkat kesalahan estimasi posisi akan semakin besar apabila target hanya menerima satu buah sinyal pancaran.

Five-year experience in providing medical care to patients with bronchopulmonary pathology with chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure
Authors: Titova Olga N. , Kuzubova Natalia A. , Volchkov Vladimir A. , Kozyrev Andrey G. , Skljarova Darya B.
Published: July 2020

Introduction. The article considers the management of medical care for patients with chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure (CHRF), including long-term oxygen therapy (LOT). To achieve this goal in 2013 there was established the St. Petersburg Municipal Pulmonary Center (MPC). The study aimed to assess the results of the MPC activity in 2014 - 2LC138727590CN018. Material and methods. The medical records of patients admitted to the MPC in 2014-2018 were studied. To process the information conventional statistical methods were used. Results. Over the past 5 years, MRC specialists have consulted 13,239 patients, mainly COPD cases. 1,054 patients with CHRF were hospitalized for an additional examination, and 435 cases were indicated to receive LOT. The necessary oxygen concentrator facilities were provided at the expense of the St. Petersburg city budget. Mortality rate accounted for 10.4% by the end of the first year of LOT, 15.1% by the end of the second year, reaching 27.0% and 38.3% by the end of the third and fourth years, respectively. In the group of COPD patients with CHRF (262 patients, 238 men, and 24 women, at the average age of 69 ± 3 years), LOT was accompanied by a decrease in the number of severe exacerbations of the disease (before the LOT - 3 (3; 4) severe exacerbations per year, after a year - 2 (1; 2); p <0.001), as well as cases of referral and duration of stay in the intensive care unit. This led to a decrease in the average cost of inpatient treatment from 264,912 ± 31,277 rubles per year to 134,826 ± 21,277; p <0.001. Conclusion. Early verification and correction of CHRF contribute not only to the decline in the number of exacerbations of respiratory disease but also to the reduction of financial costs necessary for the treatment of such patients.

Published: July 2020

Human health, in addition to social and spiritual well-being, is determined by its physical condition, which reflects the functional capabilities of the body, features of physical development and ensures working capacity in any activity, including academic workload, which is extremely important for students in higher educational institutions. The purpose of the study is to assess the health status of students at the School of Biomedicine of the Far Eastern Federal University. Material and methods. The health status of 184 medical students (147 young women and 37 young men) was assessed using a sociological survey (questionnaire) and a study of the component composition of the body using bioimpedancemetry. Results. The low physical activity, detected in 68% of students and bad habits (smoking tobacco) have been established to negatively affect students’ health. Among smokers, 75% of students live in dormitories on the university campus. According to the results of bioimpedancemetry, significant deviations from the age norm were noted in terms of body mass index (BMI) (50% of cases) and fat mass (FM) (71% of cases). Significant gender differences in the individual components of the body were not identified. Discussion. The most aggressive factors that significantly affect the health of students are unbalanced nutrition, lack of compliance with the regime of study and rest, lack of sleep and stay in the fresh air, lack of physical activity, lack of motivation for a healthy lifestyle. Significant deviations in BMI and FM, identified by bioimpedancemetry, indicate the risks of developing arterial hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and nutritional status disorders. Medical students need to give recommendations for increasing motor activity and changing diet. Conclusion. The results of the study can be used in the future to determine the functional state of students and develop preventive measures to preserve the health of medical students.

Authors: Nikolayeva Natalia I. , Filin Andrey S. , Guseva Ekaterina A. , Ivanova Lubov’ G.
Published: July 2020

Solid solutions are widely used in various industries. Experimental studies have been conducted to study the biological effects of warm-blooded animals (rat, mouse) solid solution based on cadmium (7%) mercury (52%) and tellurium (41%) (CMT). The purpose of the study: To investigate the biological effect of the solid solution (CMT) on the body of experimental animals. Material and methods. On the models of acute and subchronic exposure, the biological effect of CMT on the organism of warm-blooded animals (rats, mice) was evaluated. Studies have been carried out to establish toxicometry parameters (acute toxicity, the threshold for acute inhalation and intragastric effects, cumulative properties). In subchronic experiments, local and general toxic effects were investigated. The work used biochemical, physiological, toxicological, pathomorphological, statistical research methods. Results. According to acute experiments, the investigated substance belongs to the 4th hazard class (low-hazard compound). The threshold of acute inhalation action for rats is 46.20 mg/m3, and the intragastric effect for rats is 5000 mg/kg. CMT has moderate cumulation (Kcum = 4.79), does not irritate the skin. The compound was found to have a general toxic effect, which is based on functional disorders of the nervous system, liver, and kidneys. Discussion. The results of the study indicate that solid CMT solution has a polytropic effect on the warm-blooded organism. Conclusion. With prolonged exposure, the CMT aerosol can harm the body of workers, it is necessary to provide general preventive measures that prevent the aerosol of solid solutions from entering the body: automation, mechanization, sealing of production, adequate ventilation of production rooms, the use of personal protective equipment, the passage of mandatory periodic medical examinations by workers, and monitoring the concentration of CMT in the air of the working area should be carried out according to the MPC - 1.0 mg / m3 (mercury vapor).

Authors: Markova S. V. , Zoloedov V. I.
Published: July 2020

The article attempts to analyze in chronological order the stages of the history of the study of bronchial asthma in the USSR in the 1960-1980s. Named the main scientific centers and schools of the USSR, leading scientists who have made an invaluable contribution to the study of the disease, its classification, identified the main directions in the study of bronchial asthma. The significant achievements of Soviet medicine at each of the historical stages, as well as the regularity of the formation of pulmonology in the USSR as a separate medical discipline are shown. In the 60s of the twentieth century in the USSR there is a significant increase in patients with bronchial asthma, including its severe form as an asthmatic status. This required the intensification of scientific research and strengthening of clinical work in the field of pulmonology. The country begins the formation of several scientific schools in different republics and cities. In these centers, bronchial asthma are studied, all-Union and Republican conferences devoted to this disease are held. In 1967 the first all-Union research Institute of pulmonology of the Ministry of Health of the USSR (Leningrad) was opened. With the accumulation of knowledge changed views on the essence of the disease, improved its classification. Such outstanding scientists as A.D. Ado, P.K. Bulatov, G.B. Fedoseev, A.G. Chuchalin played the most important role in the history of bronchial asthma study. In 1986, a new medical specialty - pulmonology appeared in the USSR. In 1991 in Moscow was opened the research Institute of pulmonology, who later became a leading pulmonary center of our country (Research Institute of Pulmonology).

Authors: Bin Hasballah Thaib Zamakhsyari
Published: July 2020

This paper discusses forgetting from the perspective of the Qur'an. In the Qur'an, the term is used to denote two meanings; First, Nissan means tark, which is to leave. And second, Nissan or forget that applies to those who do not maintain and preserve what they remember so that it disappears. Forgetting is an impossible trait for God. The Prophets, as human beings, are not free from forgetfulness. However, the forgetfulness of the Prophets was not in a context that could neglect their responsibility for delivering the treatise. Prophet Adam, Moses, and Prophet Muhammad are among the Prophets whose narrations are forgotten in the Qur'an. This study was conducted using the thematic method. And among the main conclusions in this study; In the Qur'an, several forms of forgetfulness are mentioned, including the forgetfulness of the Servant to Allah and himself, the forgetfulness of the Servant to the signs of God's greatness, the forgetfulness of the Servant to God's promises, and the forgetfulness of the Servant to the hereafter. Besides, among the factors that cause forgetfulness according to the Qur'an are controlled by Shaytan, and take refuge in Creatures and not only to Allah alone. Therefore, Allah has guided us that the only remedy when forgetting is to hurry to remember God, then pray to ask God not to take responsibility for that forgetfulness.

Ayurveda, the science of life is based on several concepts. Concept of Agni is one of them. This study aims to explore the knowledge on Agni and mainly based on the authentic Ayurveda texts. Ayurveda has given prime importance to Agni (digestive fire) as it is one of the basic biologic elements of the living body. Agni has its own physical characteristics, location and functions in the body. Ayurveda emphasized that the balance state of Agni is essential to maintain the health of an individual. If Agni devoid of its normal functions it will leads to diseases. Different views have been suggested regardingÂ PittaÂ andÂ AgniÂ by different Acharyas. Some Acharyas considerÂ PittaÂ to beÂ AgniÂ while others speak Pitta is different from Agni. Although different types of Agnis are described in Ayurveda, thirteen types of Agnis viz 7 Dhatvagnis, 5 Bhutagnis and 1 Jatharagni are mostly considered. Jatharagni is also classified into four categories according to its performance of digestion in the human being namely Vishamagni, Teekshanagni, Mandagni and Samagni. Agni converts food in the form of energy, which is responsible for all the vital functions of our body.
