Should Cannabis be Legalized in France ? A Welfare Analysis.

This article compares the current legal regime of cannabis in France, based on the Prohibition Lawof 31 December 1970, with different legalization scenarios. Despite the difficulties inherent in observing an underground market, a welfare function is estimated under different legal regime scenarios. Decriminalization of consumption would increase welfare. Full liberalization of the cannabis market would generate a higher positive variation in welfare, while resolving the issue of prohibition. The economic benefit of full legalization of cannabis could be attributable not only to the creation of tax revenue but also to the saving of public resources currently allocated to repression.
Pauvreté et non-recours aux dispositifs sociaux : l’étude du RSA « socle seul »
Authors: Chareyron Sylvain
Published: May 2022

Cet article s’intéresse au non-recours à la composante «socle seul » du Revenu de Solidarité Active (RSA) laquelle, contrairement à la composante «activité » de ce dispositif, a peu été étudiée. La première partie de l’article est consacrée à l’estimation du taux de non-recours au RSA «socle seul » , en prenant en compte la sensibilité de cette estimation aux erreurs dues aux approximations dans le calcul de l’éligibilité au RSA et aux erreurs de déclaration des revenus de l’enquête ; l’estimation confirme un niveau élevé de non-recours, avec un taux compris dans une fourchette de 28% à 35%. La seconde partie de l’article compare les caractéristiques des foyers bénéficiaires du dispositif et des foyers éligibles mais qui n’y ont pas recours. Différents facteurs de ce phénomène de non-recours sont ainsi mis en évidence : le non-recours touche une proportion élevée de ménages au niveau de vie très modeste, dans une grande pauvreté. L’explication de ce phénomène semble provenir de l’absence de perception de prestation familiale et donc de contact préalable avec les Caf. Le non-recours touche aussi des ménages aux niveaux de vie plus élevés, plus proches du marché du travail dont les gains retirés de la participation au dispositif sont moindres.

Key Points

Several factors were associated with higher coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related anxiety.

Higher COVID-19-related anxiety was associated not only with mask wearing but also with weight gain and less adherence to healthier lifestyles.

Interventions are needed to support healthy behaviors in patients with CKD experiencing increased anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with anxiety and depression. Although the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased stressors on patients with CKD, assessments of anxiety and its predictors and consequences on behaviors, specifically virus mitigation behaviors, are lacking.

Methods

From June to October 2020, we administered a survey to 1873 patients in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study, asking participants about anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined associations between anxiety and participant demographics, clinical indexes, and health literacy and whether anxiety was associated with health-related behaviors and COVID-19 mitigation behaviors.

Results

The mean age of the study population was 70 years (SD=9.6 years), 47% were women, 39% were Black non-Hispanic, 14% were Hispanic, and 38% had a history of cardiovascular disease. In adjusted analyses, younger age, being a woman, Hispanic ethnicity, cardiovascular disease, household income <$20,000, and marginal or inadequate health literacy predicted higher anxiety. Higher global COVID-19-related anxiety scores were associated with higher odds of reporting always wearing a mask in public (OR=1.3 [95% CI, 1.14 to 1.48], P<0.001) and of eating less healthy foods (OR=1.29 [95% CI, 1.13 to 1.46], P<0.001), reduced physical activity (OR=1.32 [95% CI, 1.2 to 1.45], P<0.001), and weight gain (OR=1.23 [95% CI, 1.11 to 1.38], P=0.001).

Conclusions

Higher anxiety levels related to the COVID-19 pandemic were associated not only with higher self-reported adherence to mask wearing but also with higher weight gain and less adherence to healthy lifestyle behaviors. Interventions are needed to support continuation of healthy lifestyle behaviors in patients with CKD experiencing increased anxiety related to the pandemic.

Influence of the degree of crystallinity on the elastic modulus in rubbery state of polymers
Authors: ASKADSKII A. A. , MATSEEVICH T. A.
Published: May 2022

An approach to the description and prediction of the elastic modulus of polymers in a rubbery state is presented. The description is based on the generalized equation proposed earlier by one of the authors of the work. The equation takes into account the contribution of cross-linked points to the elasticity of elastomers. This made it possible to describe the dependences of the elastic modulus on the concentration and size of crystallites. Such dependencies were obtained for the following polymers: polypropylene, polyisoprene, polybutadiene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polychloroprene, polydimethylsiloxane. For the same crystallite sizes, the elastic moduli for different polymers are close to each other, but they increase significantly with a decrease in the volume of crystallites.

Authors: KHARLAMOVA K. I. , DERGUNOVA E. R. , SIMONOV-EMELYANOV I. D.
Published: May 2022

The paper presents a method for determining the maximum content of dispersed filler (φm) in dispersed-filled polymer composite materials (DFPCM) by oligomer-absorption.

For the first time, data on the values of the parameter φm in the DNPCM obtained from oligomer- (Y, g/100 g) and oil absorption method (X, g/100 g) are presented.

The dependences of the parameter φm on the particles size for fillers with a particle size from 50nm to 250 microns are presented.

It is shown, that the main advantage of using the new method for determining the parameter φm is the possibility to bring the dispersed system closer to the real conditions for DFPCM production and thus, to increase the reliability of the results.

Linear response theory-based theoretical approach to structural changes in a polymer induced by β-decay of substituted tritium
Authors: Kawanami Ryuta , Fujiwara Susumu , Nakamura Hiroaki , Omata Kazumi
Published: May 2022

Polymers exposed to tritiated water undergo hydrogen defects caused by isotope substitution and subsequent β-decay of substituted tritium, causing structural changes and loss of function in the biopolymers. Here, based on linear response theory, we predict the structural change of tritium-damaged polyethylene using the equilibrium trajectory of undamaged polyethylene to reduce the computation time of molecular dynamics simulations. Specifically, the ensemble average of the change in a physical quantity, such that it represents a structural change before and after damage, was calculated numerically using the time derivative of the total potential energy difference derived analytically and the physical quantity obtained from the simulation of undamaged polyethylene on the basis of linear response theory. A comparison between theoretical and simulation results revealed that the characteristic oscillation behaviors of the structural response of polyethylene can be predicted, whereas the quantitative prediction of the steady-state values over a long period is difficult.

Published: May 2022

Coupled lines with a double shielding in weakly and strongly inhomogeneous dielectric media are studied. They have specific properties that allow creation of impedance-transforming directional couplers with given directivity type. The proposed models and synthesis techniques takes into account both electric asymmetry and dielectric inhomogeneity. Numerical simulations and measurements prove the correctness of the general theory, and the possibility of creating co-, contra- and trans-directional couplers with impedance-transforming and phase-shifting properties. The results will be useful for finding new design solutions of advanced couplers and microwave circuits.

Authors: Nasrawi Alaa
Published: May 2022

Background: Airway oedema and mucus plugging are the predominant pathological features in infants with acute viral bronchiolitis. Nebulized hypertonic saline (HS) solution may reduce these pathological changes and decrease airway obstruction. Aim: To assess the effects of nebulized hypertonic (3%) saline solution in infants with acute viral Bronchiolitis of moderate severity. Methods: This study was conducted in Al Zahraa teaching hospital for maternity and pediatric in the period between December 2013 till November 2014 at which 165 patients with acute viral bronchiolitis were included. The inclusion criteria were; Infants aged ≤18 months presented with a prodromal history consistent with viral upper respiratory tract infection followed by wheezing and/or crackles on auscultation. Patients were excluded from the study if they have the following criteria: born at ≤ 34 weeks’ gestation, previous history of wheezing, steroid use within 48 hours of presentation, history of apnea within 24 hours before presentation, oxygen saturation ≤85% on room air at the time of recruitment, history of a diagnosis of chronic lung disease, congenital heart disease, or immunodeficiency, consolidation or atelectasis on a chest X-Ray and infants with bronchiolitis severity score <4 or > 8. Result: We found that nebulized 3% HS decreases bronchiolitis severity score after 12h of treatment and its effect subsided after more than 48 h. In regard to hospital stay, the study shows a decrease in mean of hospital stay length from 42.2 to 36.3 h. Conclusion: Nebulization with 3% hypertonic saline is safe, can be widely generalized, and may be superior to current treatment for early outpatient treatment of bronchiolitis. Recommendation: Planning for a multicenter trial to explore the clinical benefit of this therapy with a large sample size is essential.

Published: May 2022

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity and adds significantly financial burden to patient and their family on healthcare. The incidence of gastric cancer continues to increase in Bangladesh; therefore there is unmet need of promising treatment modalities. Objective: To investigate the survival of patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery with epidural combined with general anesthesia (EGA) and general anesthesia alone (GA). Methods: A retrospectively observation study was carried out at the Dept. of Anesthesia, National Institute of Cancer Research & Hospital (NICRH), Mohakhali, Dhaka, Bangladesh from June 2021 March 2022. 451 patients with gastric cancer who were scheduled for radical resection. Propensity score matching was performed at a 1:1 ratio between GA (n=75) and EGA (n=75) to reduce selection bias. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify factors significantly correlated with recurrence and/or metastasis and prognosis. The 3-year overall survival rates of patients receiving EGA and GA alone were compared. Results: After the propensity scores were matched, there were 75 patients who underwent EGA and 75 patients who underwent GA. For the entire population, reconstruction type, pN stage, and complications were significantly correlated with prognosis based on multivariate analyses. For patients with a recurrence and/or metastasis, lymphadenectomy and pN stage were shown to be independent prognostic factors by multivariate analysis. Conclusions: In summary, patients might benefit from EGA as a result of better analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, fewer postoperative complications, higher safety, and a lower rate of metastasis and recurrence is conducive to postoperative recovery in patients with gastric cancer.
Pseudo-Reduplication in Lukisa Dialect
Authors: Maina Oyoko Amos , Okelo Dr.Jackline Atieno , Ongarora Prof. David Ogoti
Published: May 2022

Reduplication is a grammatical aspect found in a wide range of African languages and it is sometimes interchangeably used with repetition. Reduplication is both a morphological and a phonological process of forming a compound word by repeating all or part of the word. Morphological reduplication involves semantic change through another word formation process while phonological reduplication is where the copying pics the closest phonological input restricted to cases of phonological necessity. Lukisa, a Luhya dialect is expected to exhibit a range of patterns in reduplication which varies from a single segment being copied to an entire phrase. Although linguistic forms of reduplication have been explored at lexical and functional levels, there is need to validate morphological doubling involving the creation of new stem type reduplication as a limitless linguistic resource, a central meaning making strategy and a naturally integrated facility in language. Therefore, the objective of this study is to establish how pseudo reduplication manifests in Lukisa reduplication. Inkelas and Zoll (2005) Morphological Doubling Theory was adopted for this study where morphology calls twice for a constituent of a given semantic description with possible phonological modification of either or both constituents. MDT is a native identity theory in the sense that the surface phonological identity between the two copies occurs as a side effect of semantic identity.

The aim: To investigate the level of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and to establish its relationship with structural and functional indicators of the myocardium in patients having acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which is complicated by heart failure (HF) with concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).
Materials and methods: The study included 120 patients who were grouped by clinical diagnosis. Every patient underwent transthoracic echocardiography of the heart: left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular myocardial mass index (LVMI), LV relative wall thickness (LVWT), BNP, HbA1c.
Results: LV EF was statistically significantly lower in group 2 compared with group 1. A significant difference was found. Significant difference between LVWT within indicators of groups 1 and 2 was found. There was a statistically significant increase of the LVMI in group 2 compared to group 1. Against the background of AMI, the formation of eccentric LVH prevailed in 61% cases. There was a statistically significant increase in BNP within the group of patients suffering of AMI with HF and concomitant DM2.
Conclusions: There was found a statistically significant increase in BNP in patients suffering of AMI with HF and concomitant DM2, which indicates a significant degree of damage to cardiomyocytes and causes an aggravating course of HF. The relationship between BNP and LV EF was revealed , which can be used to prognostic the severity of HF in this category of patients. A strong correlation between BNP and HbA1 was discovered, which indicates a burdensome unity of metabolic disorders that accelerate the development and progression of HF.

The aim of the research is to analyze the problem of inclusive education in Ukraine in the context of world trends. According to its philosophy, each school should be inclusive, which implies the readiness of the school to accept every child with SEN at any time, the desire to create the most favorable educational environment that will serve the development of its potential. According to the results of the analysis, we also conclude that Ukrainian scientists pay more attention to issues of inclusion related to higher education (foreign experience, features of teaching students with inclusion, training future teachers to work with children with disabilities, etc.). Meanwhile, in our opinion, the theoretical and methodological principles, pedagogical conditions, practical methods of organizing inclusive education of children with various types of developmental disabilities are insufficiently studied. This, among other things, highlights the scientific problem raised in our study. Thus, the attention of the Ukrainian state to people with SEN, European-oriented social educational policy is evidenced not only by the reduction of the number of boarding schools, orphans and children deprived of parental care there, but also the dynamics of growing enrollment of children with SEN in inclusive special classes of secondary schools (in 2020/2021 academic year compared to 2015/2016 academic year this amount increased by 7% (from 5.3 thousand to 5.7 thousand). As a result of the development of inclusive education over the past five years, the number of students with SEN covered by inclusive education has increased more than 6 times, and the number of inclusive classes in secondary schools has increased 7 times. Similar changes have taken place in the staffing of inclusive education. Inclusive education and upbringing of children with SEN is a long-term strategy that is considered not as a local area of work, but as a systematic approach to organizing the activities of the general education system in all areas in general.

At present, the planning of technical support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine needs to be finalized, as it does not allow to fully respond to the challenges of today.
The whole system of technical support begins with planning. The amount of funds spent by the state, the number of personnel involved in the work and the time for these works, the speed of obtaining spare parts, etc. will depend on how a particular process or procedure is planned. And as a result, the quality and speed of recovery of weapons to ensure the combat readiness of troops.
The issues considered in the work are quite relevant especially during the hostilities in the East of our country.
The article highlights the problems of planning and procedures for repair and maintenance of weapons at the present stage. The full cycle of planning and division of responsibilities of the repair body of a military unit is considered in detail. A comparative analysis of the planning of the work of repair bodies in Soviet times, the state of affairs on this issue in the modern Armed Forces and a parallel with the planning and technical support of NATO countries. In addition, the technical support of combat operations during the anti-terrorist operation and the Joint Forces operation is analyzed, the analysis of which also shows gaps in the planning and procedures for the repair and maintenance of armaments and military equipment.
The main military equipment used for combat operations is armored vehicles. Therefore, this article will consider the above-mentioned problem of planning on the basis of the armored service of the military unit.
The conclusion also provides suggestions for further research on process automation through mathematical methods of data processing and implementation of decision support systems.

In the article, going near research of the system of management is considered in composition the complexes of battle equipment of servicemen of subdivisions of Paratrooper-assault troops (PAT) with the aim of determinations of directions of her improvement and perspective composition. The important stage of ground of perspective composition of control system in composition the complexes of battle equipment of servicemen of subdivisions of PAT is a complex estimation to payment in battle efficiency of actions of subdivisions at the decision of certain urgent tasks on the basis of mathematical design of battle actions. According to substantive provisions system to approach at making of requirements to the separate subsystems it is necessary to come from the basic having a special purpose setting of all system on the whole, expressed through her efficiency. Such going near research of control system in composition the complexes of battle equipment of servicemen of subdivisions of PAT of the Armed Forces of Ukraine gives an opportunity of з of a few variants to distinguish rational and to define priority directions of з improvement of all control system in composition the complexes of battle equipment of servicemen. Realization of the considered directions of improvement of control system and her elements in composition the complexes of battle equipment of servicemen provides considerable expansions of tactical indexes of actions of subdivisions of PAT of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and also promotes their noninteraction and tactical independence. On preliminary calculations, realization of the pointed directions of improvement of equipment can provide the substantial increase of efficiency of implementation of urgent tasks of more subzero subdivisions. Therefore works with reduction of descriptions of control system the complex of battle equipment to the necessary level must carry out with the use of new technological works that is partly presented in this article.

TO THE ISSUE OF FIRE SUPPORT OF THE BATTALION (for discussion)
Authors: Popovichenko Oleksandr , Yakovenko Vadim , Levchuk Viktor
Published: May 2022

The article provides proposals for clarification of the terminology used in military publications (doctrinal documents) regarding the planning and support of the battalion’s battle (actions), fire impact on enemy objects, recommendations on the formation, competences and functioning of the combat planning and management body (actions) that are adapted to the standards and procedures of NATO Member States. The conducted study shows that fire damage is not a clear definition of the influence of units’ forces and means on the enemy. The definition of «damage» during the influence of fire means is not accurate and does not reflect the state of the target after the completion of the impact on the enemy’s objects. The issue of fire support for combat (actions), the body of its planning and implementation in military publications are not clearly defined. Thus, the meaningful meaning of what was originally laid in them is not disclosed.
Instead of the concept of «enemy fire defeat», the authors propose to replace it with a more objective indicator – «fire influence on the enemy». Under the fire influence on the enemy, the authors propose to understand the impact on the enemy’s object (target) with various ammunition and/or means, according to the results of which it is guaranteed, conditionally guaranteed or not guaranteed to lose its ability to function normally (perform a combat mission). The result of influencing the enemy’s object (target) can be lethal or non-lethal.
Instead of the concept of «enemy fire defeat», the authors propose to replace it with a more objective indicator – "fire influence on the enemy". Prospects for the implementation of the results of scientific research obtained at the Scientific Center of the Military Academy (Odessa) can be considered their inclusion after discussion in doctrinal (normative) documents on the combat use of military units and units of the Ground Forces, Assault Forces and Marines of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
