Kontekst jest wszystkim. O trudnej sztuce komparatystyki „europejskiego” orzecznictwa sądów konstytucyjnych
Authors: Kustra-Rogatka Aleksandra
Published: March 2023

Context is Everything. On the Difficult Art of “European” Comparative Studies Jurisprudence of Constitutional Courts Comparative research of the case-law of constitutional courts concerning the membership of a given state in the EU (referred to in the article as “European” case-law of constitutional courts) requires taking into account various contexts in which this case-law is involved. The aim of this article is to indicate and analyze the most important of them, namely: the systemic context, the temporal context, the political context (including related problem of the politicization of the constitutional court), and the theoretical context. Moreover, the article draws attention to the necessity to contextualize “constitutional borrowings”, which acquires special meaning in connection with the perceived phenomenon of abuse of the “comparative argument”. Sometimes the distinguished contexts overlap, for example in the case of the temporal context and political context, but their separation allows for a better understanding of the complexity of comparative research on the European acquis constitutionnel. The specificity of this subject of legal-comparative research proves the correctness of the thesis that the contemporary constitutional comparative law must face several challenges. The first is the integration of the classical “horizontal” comparative method with the “vertical” dimension related to the influence of international and supranational norms on national constitutional systems. The second challenge is related to supporting an interdisciplinary approach to comparative constitutional law, which will take into account the perspective of social sciences, such as political science, sociology or history. The third challenge, then, is related to establishing the right balance between focusing on specific (not only) legal issues related to the analyzed issue and taking into account a broader vision of the directions of changes in European constitutionalism. The fourth challenge, in turn, concerns the popularization of the results of scientific research related to comparative studies of the “European” acquis constitutionnel. The last (and perhaps the most difficult) challenge facing the comparative research of “European” case law of constitutional courts is an attempt to answer the question to what extent this diverse jurisprudence conglomerate is a manifestation of the stability of constitutional law and the constitution, and to what extent it is a driving force for dynamic changes in contemporary public law.
Benedykta XVI „wymyślanie Kościoła idealnego” w kontekście synodalności papieża Franciszka
Authors: Kasperowicz Paweł
Published: March 2023

Papież Benedykt XVI w ostatnim wywiadzie z Peterem Seewaldem tłumaczy, czym jest prawdziwe bycie w Kościele: to nie "wymyślanie Kościoła idealnego, ale gotowość do życia i pracy właśnie w Kościele, który jest nękany przez moce zła"[1]. Ojciec święty rozwija tę myśl, przekazując, jak z jego punktu widzenia Kościół zmieniał się razem ze światem i vice versa. Papież Franciszek w Dokumencie przygotowawczym XVI Zwyczajnego Zgromadzenia Ogólnego Synodu Biskupów Ku Kościołowi synodalnemu: komunia, uczestnictwo i misja zwraca uwagę, że „synodowanie można porównać do teatru trzech zasadniczych aktorów: Jezusa, tłumu (świata) oraz Kościoła (…), ale jest jeszcze czwarty dodatkowy aktor, zwany przez Papieża antagonistą”[2], stąd rodzi się potrzeba rozeznawania. To nauczanie koresponduje z doświadczeniem, jakie pozostawił światu Benedykt XVI, gdyż łączenie rzeczywistości Boskiej z ludzką słabością jest charakterystyczne dla Kościoła katolickiego od wieków. Święty Augustyn w De civitate Dei napisał, że na ziemi ludzkość nie osiągnie stanu całkowitej przynależności do Państwa Bożego. Nie przekreśla to jednak procesu synodowania, ale nastraja do pokory.

Benedict XVI „Inventing the ideal church” in the context of the synodality of pope Francis Abstract Pope

Benedict XVI, in the last interview with Peter Seewald, explains what true being in the Church is: it is not “inventing an ideal Church, but the readiness to live and work precisely in the Church, which is plagued by the powers of evil.” The Holy Father develops this idea, conveying how from his point of view the Church changed with the world and vice versa. Pope Francis in the Preparatory Document of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops “Towards a synodal Church: communion, participation and mission” points out that “synodation can be compared to a theatre of three main actors: “synodation can be compared to a theatre of three main actors: Jesus, the crowd (of the world) and the Church (…), but there is a fourth additional actor, called by the Pope the antagonist”, hence the need for discernment. This teaching corresponds to the experience that Benedict XVI left to the world, because combining divine reality with human weakness has been characteristic of the Catholic Church for centuries. St. Augustine in De civitate Dei wrote that on earth humanity will not reach the state of complete belonging to the State of God. However, this does not rule out the process of synodation, but it instills humility.

Re-assessment of Bilateral and Unilateral Trade Effects of ASEAN FTAs: A Theory-Consistent Structural Gravity Estimation
Authors: Kumari Mamta
Published: March 2023

This paper reinvestigates the bilateral and unilateral effects of five ASEAN free trade agreements (FTAs) by applying a theory-consistent structural gravity model that remains untouched in the existing literature. The findings suggest that ASEAN-China and ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand FTAs led to a decrease in the international trade among member countries and between member and non-member countries in relation to their internal trade. The ASEAN-Korea, ASEAN-Japan, and ASEAN-India FTAs did not have any significant impact on the member countries and non-member countries’ trade.

News Values, Older People and Journalistic Practices in Australia and Malaysia
Authors: Imran Muhammad Asim
Published: March 2023

This article builds on a research project examining news values, journalistic practices, and media power in Australia and Malaysia. These two countries differ from each other in socio-cultural, religious, regional, political perspectives, and journalistic practices but share the presence of indigenous people, appreciation for multiculturalism, and increasing numbers of older people. The comparison of journalistic practices – Asian-based development journalism and Western journalism practices – along with other differences, especially socio-cultural values, provides the rationale for the selection of these two countries. The study draws on Fairclough’s three-dimensional critical discourse analysis and Caple and Bednarek’s discursive news values analysis to explore the discursive practices of journalists in providing voices and prioritising different actors in news stories. 99 news articles from 8 mainstream Australian newspapers – The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, The Advertiser, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier-Mail, The Herald Sun, and The Canberra Times – and 5 English-language Malaysian newspapers – New Straits Times, The Malay Mail, The Star, The Borneo Post, and The Sun – published between January 2011 and December 2013 are selected as the dataset in this study. The study finds that reference to elite persons remains a uniform news value in both Australian and Malaysian newspapers, indicating the role of journalists in reflecting and reinforcing the status quo, and the imbalance of power in society. This dominant news value amongst journalists tends to silence those who are not conceived as newsworthy or seen as less newsworthy, such as older people. While the dominance of elites can be linked to social norms in Malaysia that prevent challenges to the social hierarchy and the maintenance of a high regard for people in authority such as political leaders, the discursive practices of Australian journalists do not align with their role to provide a uniform forum for the exchange of ideas, as elderly Australians are given limited opportunities to be active participants.
“It’s So Bad It Has to be Real”: Mimic Vlogs and the Use of User-Generated Formats for Storytelling
Authors: Adams Caitlin
Published: March 2023

Mimic vlogs – that is, a form of fictional web series that tell stories utilising a vlog format – draw on audience expectations to elicit a particular response. Mimic vlogs use the conventions of an authentic format to tell a story in a way that resembles a genre audiences know and trust, much like mockumentaries and other forms of parodies. It is integral to understand how viewers approach and understand these videos, particularly on a platform such as YouTube which hosts both amateur, professional, usergenerated, and professionally-produced content. Mimic vlogs constitute a small part of a much larger phenomenon of replica content online, such as deep fakes, cheap fakes, fake news, misinformation and disinformation. This exploratory paper draws on primary data from YouTube viewers to investigate what methods audience members use to identify video content. Participants watched and responded to a series of eight videos made up of both user-generated vlogs and fictional mimic vlogs to determine the elements viewers considered while categorising the videos. The approaches participants employed were frequently unreliable, with participants coming to different conclusions based on the same piece of information. Contributing factors to this effect included the viewers’ perceptions around authenticity, plausibility, and markers of quality in each video. The results of this research illustrate the ways in which audiences read texts in different ways. This is in line with Stuart Hall’s encoding and decoding theory (1980) and broader audience reception studies which suggest that audiences play a vital role in interpreting texts and their meaning. Consequently, this research shows how audiences are vulnerable to even low-stakes replica content online, in part, because of their decoding of textual elements.

Published: March 2023

Climate Change in Bangladesh is an extremely crucial issue. Bangladesh is one of the worstly affected countries by the impacts of Climate Change in coming decades. The climate change in Bangladesh causes the degradation of land resources. High intensity and recurrence of floods are due to irregular rainfall and glacier melting of the Himalayas intensified river bank erosion throughout the year. High yielding land resources on the river bank are degraded each year. This study was conducted for riverbank shifting detection, morphodynamics assessment, and estimation of eroded and accreted land by the Jamuna river at Shahjadpurupazila, Sirajganj district, Bangladesh. The investigation is based on multispectral satellite imagery interpretations using ArcGIS software, followed by a field check. Interpretations show that the Jamuna river in the study area has continuously shifted its path from east to west from 1956 to 2020, resulting in a total loss of 51.68 km2 of landmass. The rate of engulfment was 0.95km2/year whereas the accretion rate was 0.15km2/year. The maximum rate of river shifting on the right bank of Jamuna river in the ShahjadpurUpazila is 84.38 meters/year and the minimum shifting is 31.25 meters/year. This study will help to understand the scenario of land degradation by river erosion in the study area. It may be also helpful to the decision-makers to take the proper mitigation measures regarding riverbank erosion and protection.

Published: March 2023

Arable land degradation, agro-waste management coupled with irrational use of chemicals has led to concern about soil and environmental health. The sugarcane crop generates lot of vegetative biomass after harvesting, which is burnt in field creating environmental implications. A research trail was conducted at green house premises department of soil and environment SAU Tandojam. The waste byproducts of the sugarcane trash was blended with pressmud, poultry and goat manure to have decomposed nutrient rich product subjected to 130 days decomposition/composting. Results revealed that the pH had significant relationship with organic substrate decomposition used for the compost preparation blended with sugarcane trash. The organic carbon loss or mineralization showed great variability and had relationship with the substrate used and decomposition time for a finished product. The more organic carbon (31.80%) was recorded for Cspm and (31.80%) C was found for Cpm. Compost product was rich in carbon potassium values corresponding (4.6%) for Cspm and (2.7%) K for Cgm. It was concluded that sugarcane trash can best be blended with sugarcane press mud of agro-industrial waste. Further it could be recycled with agro-industrial waste for waste management, reduce pollution, chemical fertilizers and used as organic soil amendment.

Published: March 2023

The Galur and Lendah areas are in the southeastern part of Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This area has become a developing area because of the new airport in this district. Along with its development, the need for groundwater in this area is increasing, so groundwater research is also increasingly needed. A study on groundwater is required to support the development of this region. This time, a groundwater study was conducted to determine the potential for the recharge-discharge zone, also groundwater flow patterns based on the chemical facies of the groundwater. The hydrogeological survey was carried out with groundwater sampling from 9 (nine) dug wells and 1 () spring for physical/chemical testing of groundwater in the laboratory. The results showed groundwater in the study area generally flows south or northwest, with a radial pattern anomaly in the north. The shallow groundwater studied was bicarbonate type with Ca, Na, and Mg cations variations. The groundwater facies characterizes groundwater that is typical in the catchment

Published: March 2023

The Cretaceous shale intervals of Talhar and Sembar Formations – distributed in the Lower Indus Basin of Pakistan – are organic-rich shales that can act as shale gas plays. Two-dimensional seismic using synthetic modeling has been carried out in Khewari oil field to identify petroleum plays. This work was completed with the help of eight seismic processed and migrated lines. Based on structural interpretation different geological structures were marked. The seismic character, continuity, and coherency in seismic reflection patterns indicate that the area is under an extensional regime with normal faults pattern associated with horst and graben structure. This structure is favorable for the accumulation of hydrocarbon. The shales of Talhar and Sembar formations are overlying Chilton limestone, which is a proven reservoir. The isopach maps show that Talhar Shales and Sembar Formation are dipping towards the northeast. Precisely to characterize the reflector, a synthetic seismogram was employed to tie well tops and seismic profiles.

SARS in Singapore – Key Lessons from an Epidemic
Authors: Tan Chorh-Chuan
Published: March 2023

The rapid containment of the Singapore severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003 involved the introduction of several stringent control measures. These measures had a profound impact on the healthcare system and community, and were associated with significant disruptions to normal life, business and social intercourse. An assessment of the relative effectiveness of the various control measures is critical in preparing for future outbreaks of a similar nature. The very “wide-net” surveillance, isolation and quarantine policy adopted was effective in ensuring progressively earlier isolation of probable SARS cases. However, it resulted in nearly 8000 contacts being put on home quarantine and 4300 on telephone surveillance, with 58 individuals eventually being diagnosed with probable SARS. A key challenge is to develop very rapid and highly sensitive tests for SARS infection, which would substantially reduce the numbers of individuals that need to be quarantined without decreasing the effectiveness of the measure. Daily temperature monitoring of all healthcare workers (HCWs) in hospitals was useful for early identification of HCWs with SARS. However, daily temperature screening of children in schools failed to pick up any SARS cases. Similarly, temperature screening at the airport and other points of entry did not yield any SARS cases. Nevertheless, the latter 2 measures probably helped to reassure the public that schools and the community were safe during the SARS outbreak. Strong political leadership and effective command, control and coordination of responses were critical factors for the containment of the outbreak.

Laboratory Containment of SARS Virus
Authors: Lim Wilina , Ng King-Cheung , Tsang Dominic NC
Published: March 2023

Following the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003, a large number of clinical and environmental samples containing/potentially containing SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) as well as SARS-CoV stocks were retained in clinical and research laboratories. The importance of laboratory biosafety was demonstrated by the occurrence of laboratory incidents in Singapore, Taiwan and Beijing. It is imperative that safe practice and techniques, safety equipment and appropriate facility design should be in place to reduce or eliminate exposure of laboratory workers, other persons and the outside environment to SARS-CoV containing materials. Discussion on laboratory containment of SARS-CoV was initiated in Hong Kong in August 2003. It was agreed that an inventory of all specimens with the potential presence of SARS-CoV collected for any diagnostic or research purposes from November 2002 to July 2003 should be established in each laboratory. They should be stored in a secure place at the appropriate biosafety level with access control. Un-needed samples collected during the period should be destroyed. These laboratories should be audited to ensure inventories are updated. The audit should include safety and security measures to detect irregularities. Any laboratory accidents involving materials suspected of containing SARS-CoV should be reported to the authorities and all personnel exposed closely followed medically. A contingency plan should be in place in the laboratory and a drill conducted regularly to test its efficacy. By January 2004, all clinical laboratories performing SARS-CoV testing in Hong Kong set up inventories to document location and types of SARS-CoV containing materials retained in their laboratory. Audits of these laboratories in 2004 showed that laboratory safety and containment requirements as recommended were generally met.

SARS Revisited: Managing “Outbreaks” With “Communications”
Authors: Menon KU
Published: March 2023

“Risk communications” has acquired some importance in the wake of our experience of SARS. Handled well, it helps to build mutual respect between a government or an organisation and the target groups with which it is communicating. It helps nurture public trust and confidence in getting over the crisis. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also come to recognise its importance after SARS and organised the first Expert Consultation on Outbreak Communications conference in Singapore in September 2004. This article assesses the context and the key features which worked to Singapore’s advantage. Looking at the data now widely available on the Internet of the experience of SARS-infected countries like China, Taiwan, Canada, the article identifies the key areas of strategic communications in which Singapore fared particularly well. Another issue discussed is whether Singapore’s experience has universal applicability or whether it is limited because of Singapore’s unique cultural, historical and geographical circumstances. Finally, the article also looks at some of the post-SARS enhancements that have been put in place following the lessons learnt from SARS and the need to confront new infectious outbreaks like avian flu.

The paper evaluates the relationship between rates of M1 which is generally known as the narrow definition of money in Nigeria, over the period 1990q1 to 2016q2, using Ordinary least square (OLS) technique, and the Correlation result conducted showed that, the rate of M1 and inflation rate has a strong positive relationship with a coefficient of 98%. The regression result showed that, there exists a significant positive impact of the rate of M1 on inflation rate in Nigeria, which is significant at 1% level of significance showing that a unit change in M1 will significantly increase INFLATION RATE by 5.2%. Therefore, the paper recommends that, that the government should effectively control the amount of money supplied in form of coins and naira notes to the economy in order not to increase inflation, and also it is tentative for monetary authority to note that money supply (m1) could be used to regulate the level of inflation in the economy.

Introduction. The level of provision of the population with bed resources is one of the key indicators of the availability of specialized medical care (SMC).
Purpose is to study the provision of the Russian population with specialized ophthalmological medical care, depending on the incidence of eye disorders.
Material and methods. The assessment of population provision with specialized ophthalmological medical care was carried out on the base of an analysis of data from federal forms of statistical reporting forms of Russian Federation regions over 2017. Statistical processing of the material included methods of descriptive statistics; calculation of average and relative values. Spearman’s rank correlation method was used to determine the correlation between quantitative variables.
Results. The value of indicator of population provision with ophthalmological beds (OB) per 100 thousand of the population: the minimum — 1.8, the maximum — 55.1, the average — 11.9 beds. The average value of the number of days of an OB occupation per year in Russia is 314 ± 33. The average value of the duration of the patient’s stay in the OB is 6.5 ± 1.4 days. The average indicator value of the Russian population general morbidity with the organ of vision and its adnexa diseases is 10,462 ± 3,069 cases per 100 thousand of the population. The rank correlation coefficient of the indicators of the provision of the population with OB and the indicators of eye diseases incidence is 0.05 at p > 0.05.
Limitations. The research materials are limited to the results of the analysis of data from federal forms of statistical reporting of Russian Federation regions for 2017.
Conclusion. The provision of the population of the Russian Federation regions with ophthalmological beds does not correlate with the incidence rates of eye diseases (r = 0.05 at p > 0.05). For the first time, a comparative assessment of the actual provision of the population of the Russian Federation with ophthalmological beds is given in comparison with the recommended standard: 12 versus 10.7 beds per 100 thousand of the population, respectively. The number of days of occupation of an ophthalmic bed per year was found do not increase with an increase in the average time of hospitalization of an ophthalmic patient, but decreases with a certain degree of probability (r = (–0.25) at p < 0.05).

The current demographic situation is characterized by an increase in life expectancy and gain in the number of chronic non-communicable diseases. Healthcare is faced with the task of preserving the population health in these additional years of life, which, in turn, will lead to an increase in the shortage of resources in healthcare and, in general, negatively affect the economies of states. One of the modern concepts of optimal use of resources, evaluation of the effectiveness of health systems is value-based healthcare. In the described model, the value for the patient is the result of medical care in relation to health, which is important for the patient, the criteria for achieving which are determined by the patient himself. According to the concept of the Center, measuring the results and costs for each patient is part of the strategic program for the transition to a highly efficient healthcare system.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the features of value-based healthcare in different countries of the world.
A systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines.
The literature search was performed in the electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, eLibrary, CyberLeninka, and Yandex and Google systems among English and Russian-language reports. In the healthcare systems of countries that have implemented a value-based approach, the activities of medical institutions are evaluated according to indicators that reflect the value to the patient. To combine the available resources and coordinate the provision of medical care, multidisciplinary teams of specialists are being created and the patient is provided with a full range of services without delay at all stages. In such models, all processes in medical institutions are standardized, which makes it possible to reduce losses and costs at all stages of medical care and increase the results that are valuable for patients.

Published: March 2023

Skulls of striped dolphins taken by the drive fishery off the Pacific coast of Japan in 1958-79 and 1992, and those taken by research vessels in offshore waters of the northwestern North Pacific in 1992 were examined to study the geographic and temporal differences that are expected to suggest the identity of stocks exploited by the fishery. Coastal specimens collected in 1958-79 showed distinct sexual dimorphism in rostral width, while no dimorphism was found in recent (1992) coastal specimens. Females showed more obvious variation among samples, and recent coastal specimens were distinct from others. The present results provide some support for the view that the drive fishery has exploited dolphins from plural coastal stocks, and that coastal dolphins currently taken by the Taiji fishery and offshore dolphins ranging east of 145°E do not belong to the same stock. The need to obtain larger sample sizes is stressed.
Post-Traumatic Growth: A Paradigm for Psychological Change
Authors: Taylor Emily
Published: March 2023

Traumatic or difficult life experiences happen to nearly everyone. Most individuals have heard of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. It is understood that traumatic events are problematic both in the immediate present and the emotional long run. Negative impacts of difficult or unfair situations have been researched to a considerable length. Less well-known and considered are the positive repercussions from an event that pushes us to or past our limits. This idea of finding or recognizing the positive effects of dealing with difficult challenges is called post-traumatic growth (PTG). This term highlights the idea that traumatic events can give a person new purpose and strength. Finding this strength and determination inside oneself can be beneficial in many aspects of life. This mindset is hard-earned and a valuable tool in life. Post-traumatic growth can be found in resilient people who experience challenges and persevere. It gives one the opportunity to find and realize what makes life worth living, and in process inspires people to live a life that they are proud of. This lowers regrets at the end of life and provides a feeling of fulfillment to those who experience this growth. This review will explore the concept of PTG, how this affects a person neurologically and throughout their lives, as well as how to obtain the benefits of PTG without experiencing traumatic situations (post-ecstatic growth). The review will also focus on what characteristics, mindsets, and paradigm a person may adopt to harness the power of PTG to change their lives.

When functioning well, ferritin plays a significant role in human body functioning as it helps to store and release iron ions to maintain human body stability. Otherwise, ferritin may fail in storing or release extra highly oxidative iron ions at different brain tissues, resulting in diseases such as neuroferritinopathy. Neuroferritinopathy is caused by gene mutations through two kinds of FTL genes. It can be inherited through genes and is autosomal dominant. Without paying efforts in tackling this diseases, more and more patients will suffer from its symptoms within generations. These symptoms will affect their daily physical movement and even personalities. Because neuroferritinopathy is caused by oxidative damage, anti-oxidation method therefore might be effective. Inheritance can be prevented by utilizing DNA polymerase or mismatch excision prepare enzymes for eggs and sperms.
Public-School Teachers and Social Media: Understanding Free Speech and Constitutional Limitations
Authors: McBride Megan , Mayers Stewart
Published: March 2023

Constitutional protections are unalienable rights in the United States for most citizens. However, public employees are held to a higher standard due to set legal precedents regarding First Amendment protections and rights. Free speech, freedom of expression, and freedom of association are foundational rights of the United States for citizens working in the private sector, and public sector with untaught conditions. Limitations imposed on public-school teachers are historically difficult to decipher and navigate. Due to substantial technological advances in nearly every aspect of modern society, interpretations of current precedents may not be inherently viewed as applicable in regards to public-school teachers’ freedom of expression relating to individual social media usage.

 In this research paper, various landmark decisions, including Pickering v. BOE Township (1968) and Melzer v. BOE New York City (2003), are analyzed and applied to current societal concerns relating to public-school teachers’ social media usage and content. Recommendations for public-school teachers and administration encompass modeling pro-social behaviors, comprehensive social media policies, enhancing digital citizenship, and ethical decision-making practices.
Discussion of the Interconnection Between Mental and Physical Disorders From the Aspect of Oncology
Authors: Lee Hungyi
Published: March 2023

The fact that mental and physical health are correlated has become more well known in the general public in the recent decades. However, other than the general trend that one’s deterioration leads to another’s degradation, less is understood about how exactly the body and mind interact. This study is also motivated by the relatively neglected notion of integrated health, that is, general health’s composition of physical and mental well-being. Moreover, the incomplete incorporation of mental health care into primary health care and the continuous discrimination and stigma towards those who suffer from poor mental health also motivate this investigation. This research focuses on oncology as an introduction to the manifestation of the intersection of cancer and psychology. This study investigates how mental illnesses cause physical harm. By arranging the analysis thematically, the research focus, psychological factors’ impacts, shifts from cancer initiation, progression, and survival rates. In addition, one of the main goals of psychological interventions on cancer patients, quality of life, was also discussed. Findings suggest that mental and physical health interconnect as cross-effects through various physiological pathways; however some gaps in the explanations still exist, such as those seen in the aspect of cancer mortality. This study elaborates on the correlation between cancer and psychology and aims to provide a complete view of the manifestation of the interconnection between mental and physical health.
The historical political economy of Chinese housing regulation and price speculation.
Authors: Jacob Adit , Nair Suraj
Published: March 2023

This work posits that the current state of the Chinese real estate market is a result of its historical development of housing distribution and regulation, through a critical literature review embedded in a political economy analysis on China’s Three Red Line policy. The paper follows key transitory periods within Chinese socio political reform within the context of its housing sector, identifying several policy making decisions and structural shifts which contributed to its current environment that fosters exuberant speculation and the treatment of housing as a private commodity rather than public necessity. The Financial Crisis is employed as a case study on housing market failures, exploring the institutional role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as well as the existence of a credit-speculation binary in the distribution of subprime mortgages. The economics of the interrelationship between speculative behaviors within markets and the ability to leverage debt is then studied and applied to a Chinese context, utilizing several examples including the Evergrande crisis and the Three Red Line policy to identify the underlying failures of the Chinese housing market.
The Impact of Hybrid Learning on College Students' Attention
Authors: Vitolo Kristen , Isaac, Ph.D. Linda
Published: March 2023

Hybrid Learning is being adopted at many universities in order to accommodate the evolving Covid-19 pandemic guidelines. It combines in-person learning with online learning to give students flexibility for how they would like to consume their college education. Prior to the pandemic, college courses at the University of California at Berkeley were conducted primarily in-person with a few larger courses recording their lectures for re-watching online. At the peak of the pandemic beginning in March 2020 when all in-person classes were halted and moved online, students were required to quickly adapt to remote learning. As the pandemic restrictions began to ease by Fall 2021, an increasing number of courses were offered in a hybrid learning format. However, there is a lack of research in comparing the attention spans of students who join the same class in person versus synchronously online. In this research design article, I examine existing research on students’ attention spans during exclusively in-person lectures or exclusively online lectures. From a cognitive science perspective, I seek to explore how we can utilize electroencephalography (EEG), a non-invasive neuroimaging device, to measure and compare the attention levels of students who attend a lecture in person and students who attend the same lecture online. Through this study, professors of hybrid classes may use the data acquired through neuroimaging in order to test and find techniques that can help them improve engagement with their students participating synchronously online.
Cost Optimization - A Recommendation Analysis of Azure Workloads
Authors: Zhang Yuxuan , Li David , Zhang Sophia
Published: March 2023

In a rapidly modernizing world, cloud computing has emerged as an innovative and ground-breaking technology. It is a sector that is experiencing rapid growth, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and remote work environment. Many businesses have started to make the transition from traditional storage systems to the cloud. However, the transition can be opaque and result in an excessive amount of spending on cloud resources. Additionally, these resources are often underutilized, further contributing to cloud waste. This paper seeks to address this problem by designing a comprehensive algorithm based on a detailed analysis of the Microsoft Azure 2019 virtual machine (VM) traces. We first analyzed the cost of approximately 2.7 million VMs and identified that many VMs are under utilized and over consume resources. Then, using a policy-oriented algorithm we constructed a list of VMs that were considered to be "wasteful". Finally, we implemented a recommendation algorithm to sort through this constructed list and recommend lower prices and options for users without interfering with the purpose and function of the VM. Our results show that if all users were to follow our recommendations, the potential cost reduction is over \$1.4 million. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of this research and make recommendations for future studies.
Splitting Hairs: Evaluating the Origin of Human Nakedness
Authors: Fonda Brianna
Published: March 2023

Humans are the only extant predominantly hairless species in the primate order and are one of a mere handful of mammals with the same trait. Because hairlessness is not the natural condition of mammals and primates, then something in the evolution of Homo sapiens would have reduced or eliminated the selection for hair and instead selected for nakedness. This area of research has inspired various competing models that attempt to explain the emergence of hominin hairlessness. The key to evaluating such models, and deducing which evolutionary pressures were at play, lies in determining the timing of hair loss. For instance, if the development of clothing, as some have predicted, was the catalyst for humanity’s naked condition, then the chronological data should reflect a later evolution of hairlessness. Here, I examine published molecular and physiological data to evaluate several of these proposed hypotheses. Published genetic, fossil, and experimental data were used to evaluate the fit of each model to determine when hairlessness most likely emerged and which model most likely accurately reflects the evolutionary path of our ancestors. Evidence points to the thermoregulatory hypothesis as the most likely driving force behind the evolution of hairlessness in humans.
