New Trade Policy of EU: Implications for LDCs
Authors: Rahman Mohammad Masudur , Inkyo Cheong
Published: May 2020

The European Union (EU) has notified its revised Generalized System of Preference (GSP) on 31 October, 2012 which will come into effect from 1 January, 2014. The EU is also in the process of, or contemplating, to sign Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with many developing countries. Recently, EU has officially announced initiation of FTA negotiations with USA. Such preferential tariff arrangements could lead to significant erosion of preferences enjoyed currently by the Least Developed Countries (LDCs). In this backdrop, the main objective of the present study is to investigate the economic impacts originating from preference erosion in the EU market which could potentially affect LDCs in general, Bangladesh in particular. In this context, a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis has been developed by using the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model and database to explore the aggregate impact of the preferential erosion as well as sectoral implications for which different partial equilibrium analyses were used. The analysis evince that if the EU eliminates all tariffs for Pakistan, India and Vietnam, Bangladesh's real GDP could decrease by 0.27 percent whilst welfare loss could be to the tune of US$ 54 million. Total exports to the EU will be reduced by 0.18 percent; consequently, Bangladesh’s terms of trade and exports of textiles and clothing could be fall by about 1 percent. The product level disaggregated analysis using RCA and unit price of major items also indicate that a number of products including textiles and clothing will be confronted with formidable market access difficulties in the EU.
The Effectiveness of Korea's Capital Flow Management System and its Implications on Exchange Rate Policy
Authors: Lee Jinsoo
Published: May 2020

This paper examines the effectiveness of the three macro-prudential measures introduced by the Korean government in 2010 and 2011: (i) introduction of limit for FX forward positions of domestic banks and foreign bank branches, (ii) reintroduction of tax on foreign investors' earnings from Korean government bonds, and (iii) imposition of macro-prudential stability levy on non-deposit foreign currency liabilities appeared in bank balance sheets. The results show that the three measures were not successful: The limits of FX forward position did not lead to the decrease in foreign borrowings. The reintroduction of the tax did not reduce foreign investments in Korean government bonds. Lastly, the levy on non-deposit foreign currency liabilities did not lower the foreign borrowings from the banks and did not result in more financing through deposits for banks. The ineffectiveness of the capital flow management system in controling the amount of foreign capital flows implies that the system might not be effective in mitigating the pressure on exchange rate caused by excessive volatility of foreign capital flows.
Composing an Investment Chapter of the Korea-China-Japan FTA: A Quest for Better International Investment Governance?
Authors: Choi Won-Mog
Published: May 2020

The Korea-China-Japan Investment Promotion, Facilitation and Protection Agreement is the first treaty in the economic field that binds the three Northeast Asian countries together under a single legal instrument. The existence of effective dispute-settlement procedures under the treaty will contribute to the creation of a favourable investment climate in the host country. Nevertheless, there have been fears about frivolous or vexatious claims that could inhibit legitimate regulatory actions by governments. How to compose an investment chapter of the Korea-China-Japan FTA that is being negotiated is a pressing demand for all in the region. Any pertinent answers to such a quest require a thorough comparison of the benefits and drawbacks of any development of relevant rules and governance. In the end, a quest for better international investment governance in Northeast Asia in the future requires sound evaluation of lessons from the past and present.
An Approach for Building a CGE Database for the North Korean Economy
Authors: Cheong Inkyo
Published: May 2020

Since it is difficult for researchers to access data for the North Korean economy, they typically choose a proxy economy for estimating the economic impact of the unification of the two Koreas using a computational general equilibrium (CGE). This paper aims to identify the best proxy economy for North Korea out of the 140 economies (countries) in the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database version 9.1, which was published in mid-2015. (Ed- if your study aim is ‘to identify the best proxy economy for North Korea’, then you must state your study finding here in the abstract, and also in the conclusion, i.e., Romania) This paper evaluates the input-output (IO) tables for the North Korean economy in existing studies. Comparing the coefficients for North Korea in existing studies with those of the countries selected for this paper, substantial differences were found, especially for the services sector. This casts some doubt on the IO tables in the existing studies on the North Korean economy.

Supply chain security initiatives: The authorized economic operator and Indonesia's experience
Authors: Pratama Dicky Hadi , Everett Sophia
Published: May 2020

Discussion of security in supply chains has been intensified since the tragedy of 9/11 in the United States. The World Customs Organization's SAFE Framework with its Authorized Economic Operators (AEO) program is one of the prominent supply chain security initiatives. At the time of its introduction in 2005, 168 member countries signed their support for its implementation. However, the last AEO Compendium reports only 69 countries currently have AEO program in place. This relatively slow development indicates the complexity of issues that might challenge countries to implement the initiative. Against this background, this paper aims to look at the AEO implementation in an environment where supply chain security initiative is relatively new. It focuses on policy development perspectives where the case study of Indonesia might represent challenges of other countries. Involving methods of desk research, interviews, and field observation, this paper starts with the development of various international supply chain security programs where the AEO finds it prominence. It follows with a discussion on the Indonesian AEO implementation where challenges and its policy development process are explored.
A Location Problem of Fast Charging Stations Considering Congestion
Authors: Yang Woosuk
Published: May 2020

This paper considers locating congested fast charging stations (FCSs) and deploying chargers in a stochastic environment, while the related studies have predominantly focused on problems in deterministic environments. Reducing the inconvenience caused by congestion at FCSs is an important challenge for FCS service provider. This is the underlying motivation for this study to consider a problem for FCS network design with the congestion restriction in a stochastic environment. We proposed a maximal coverage problem subject to budget constraints and a congestion restriction in order to maximize the demand coverage. With the derivation of the congestion restriction in the considered stochastic environment, the problem is formulated into an integer programming model. A real-life case study is conducted and managerial implications are drawn from its results.

This paper reviews the Supply Chain Index (SCI) developed by Supply Chain Insight LLC, which evaluates supply chain performance based on balance, strength, and resiliency. The main aim of this study is to review SCI as a new methodology to measure performance management, as well as to apply C2C for a case study of Korean firms, to compare and present differences for further complementary application.
Analysis of the Relation between Green Logistics Management Practices and Export Intensity for Thai Food and Drinks SMEs
Authors: Ueasangkomsate Pittawat , Suthiwartnarueput Kamonchanok
Published: May 2020

This paper aimed to examine the relationship between green logistics management (GLM) practices and export intensity of Thai SMEs in food and drinks manufacturing. The research involved carrying out in-depth interviews with ten experts to shed light on factors of GLM practices. The authors used a questionnaire to survey the data amongst 89 SME exporters through purposive sampling with valid 52 responses. The managerial issues related to export intensity, GLM practices, with regards to whether firms followed ISO 14001 and whether they had an employee(s) responsible for environmental management. The findings suggest that greater GLM practices being applied lead to higher export intensity in SME. The results indicate that most SMEs apply GLM practices in all dimensions to gain the benefits from the export market. It also emerged that those following ISO 14001 and/or having an employee(s) were associated with having higher export intensity than those who did not engage in these practices.
Maritime Transport Network Analysis: A Critical Review of Analytical Methods and Applications
Authors: Kanrak Maneerat , Nguyen Hong Oanh , Du Yuquan
Published: May 2020

This paper presents a critical review of the economic network analysis methods and their applications to maritime transport. A network can be presented in terms of its structure, topology, characteristics as well as the connectivity with different measures such as density, degree distribution, centrality (degree, betweenness, closeness, eigenvector and strength), clustering coefficient, average shortest path length and assortative. Various models such as the random graph model, block model, and ERGM can be used to analyse and explore the formation of a network and interaction between nodes. The review of the existing theories and models has found that, while these models are rather computationally intensive, they are based on some rather restrictive assumption on network formation and relationship between ports in the network at the local and global levels that require further investigation. Based on the review, a conceptual framework for maritime transport network research is developed, and the applications for future research are also discussed.

Aerobiological studies – current state and future challenges
Authors: Myszkowska Dorota
Published: May 2020

Aerobiology is the interdisciplinary science focused on the study of airborne organisms and biological materials, like pollen grains, fungal spores, bacteria, viruses, mycotoxins. The results of the aerobiological monitoring are practically employed in medicine, agriculture, beekeeping, meteorology, monument protection. The information of the current and predicted exposure is transmitted to patients and physicians through the electronic tools, applications, media, to compile the optimal therapy of respiratory diseases, especially pollen allergy. It is worth taking into account some confirmed phenomena to interpret the aerobiological data correctly: (i) many airborne particles occur seasonally and their amount and seasonal dynamics are more or less variable; (ii) threshold values for the airborne particles causing the threat for humans (e.g. for allergic individuals) are important, but the personal sensitivity must be also included; (iii) overlapping occurrence of different airborne particles, like pollen, spores, pollution makes clinical symptoms worsening; (iv) modern pollen and spores fall is affected in direct and indirect way by the climate changes, anthropogenic pollution, long range transport and the specific local environmental conditions. Currently the implementation of the automatic measurement systems and the analyses of allergen particles in the air are the main challenges for aerobiologists. Joined activity of this group of enthusiastic specialists of different interests is performed in frame of the multi centre networks and supported by the International Association for Aerobiology together with the regional.

Penemuan Hukum oleh Hakim Berdasarkan Paradigma Konstruktivisme
Authors: Helmi Muhammad
Published: May 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penemuan hukum oleh hakim di Indonesia dengan kajian paradigma konstruktivisme. Ajaran legisme sangat kuat di Indonesia yang mempengaruhi para ahli-ahli hukum, akademisi, dan penegak hukum termasuk hakim. Pasca-Indonesia merdeka, terdapat ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan yang mewajibkan hakim untuk menggali nilai-nilai hukum dan keadilan yang hidup dalam masyarakat. Ontologi paradigma konstruktivisme adalah relativis, realisme memiliki konstruksi mental yang beragam di antaranya korban, pelaku, saksi, tokoh masyarakat, jaksa penuntut umum, dan termasuk hakim. Epistemologi paradigma konstruktivisme adalah transaksional dan subjektif. Peran hakim dan objek perkara terhubung secara interaktif sehingga hasil putusan dibuat saat proses persidangan berlangsung. Metodologi paradigma konstruktivisme adalah hermeneutis dan dialektik. Konstruksi mental hakim serta objek perkara ditafsirkan menggunakan teknik herme-neutikal/penafsiran untuk menghasilkan putusan berupa konsensus atau resultante. Dengan demikian para hakim harus menggunakan paradigma konstruktivisme untuk menciptakan putusan yang memenuhi rasa keadilan masyarakat. Rechtvinding by Judge Based on the Constructivism Peradigm  This study aims to describe the rechtsvinding by judges in Indonesia. Many people are influenced by the flow of legism, they are legal experts, academics and law enforcement including judges. However, there is an Act for judges must explore the values of law and justice in society. Then there are three questions in the constructivism paradigm; (1) the Ontology is a relativist, it means that realism has a variety of mental constructs including victims, perpetrators, witnesses, the public figure, prosecutors and judges. (2) The epistemology is transactional and subjectivist. It means that the role of the judge and the object of the case are interactively connected. (3) The methodology is hermeneutical and dialectical. The mental construction of the judge using interpretation to produce a decision in the form of consensus or resultant. Thus, the judge must use a constructivism paradigm to create decisions that justice of the community.

Psychological intention in European theism of the XIX century
Authors: Kozlova Tatyana Aleksandrovna
Published: May 2020

The subject of this research is the psychological intention in the European theism of the XIX century in the context of anthropological turn. The author examines such trends of European theism of the XIX century as German post-Hegelian theism, French and Italian spiritualism, Russian spiritual-academic theism. It is demonstrated the European theism of the XIX century as a philosophy of that time of anthropological pivot mats psychologism as a transition towards individual-substantial (psychological) Self with dialogical intention, and establishment of philosophy on the psychological foundation. Particular attention is given to the essence of anthropological turn and psychologism in its context. Anthropological turn is interpreted as a transition of metaphysical into anthropology in the vein of Heidegger’s philosophy. This transition means that philosophy is structured upon the basis of natural sciences and psychology, human Self and its reflection lose the ontological character, but it becomes individually-substantial and obtains dialogical intention. The philosophy of European theism of the XIX century is viewed in this context; however, special attention is dedicated to the establishment of philosophy on psychological foundation, transition from the individually-substantial Self and problem of its reflection. The novelty consists in examination of psychological intention of European theism of the XIX century within the framework of anthropological turn, as well as substantiation of presence of the psychologically oriented trend in terms of this philosophy. To the representatives of psychological oriented direction of European theism of the XIX century can be attributed such French spiritualists as Maine de Biran, Cousin, Jouffroy, Ravaisson-Mollien, whose works resemble the psychological method of the similar to their views Italian spiritualist Galupppi, French neo-spiritualist Bergson, German post-Hegelian theist Fechner, whose doctrine was structures on psychophysical foundation.
Local Structuring of Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-Based Semiconducting Polymers Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Authors: Reisjalali Maryam , Burgos Marmol Jose Javier , Troisi Alessandro
Published: May 2020

High performing organic semiconducting polymers show great potentials for use in electronic devices which is greatly dependent on the material crystallinity and packing. A series of short oligomers of the diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based materials that have shown to have high charge mobility are studied to understand the local structuring at atomic level for these materials. The simulations show that the tendency for this material class to form aggregates is driven by the interaction between DPP fragments, but this is modulated by the other conjugated fragments of the materials which afect the rigidity of the polymer and the ability to form aggregates of larger size.
Sensitivity of Pore Collapse Heating to the Melting Temperature and Liquid-phase Shear Viscosity of HMX
Authors: Kroonblawd Matthew , Austin Ryan
Published: May 2020

A multiscale modeling strategy is used to quantify factors governing the temperature rise in hot spots formed by pore collapse from supported and unsupported shock waves in the high explosive HMX (octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine). Two physical aspects are examined in detail, namely the melting temperature and liquid shear viscosity. All-atom molecular dynamics simulations of phase coexistence are used to predict the pressure-dependent melting temperature up to 5~GPa. Equilibrium simulations and the Green-Kubo formalism are used to obtain the temperature- and pressure-dependent liquid shear viscosity. Starting from a simplified continuum-based grain-scale model for HMX, we systematically increase the complexity of treatments for the solid-liquid phase transition and liquid shear viscosity in simulations of pore collapse. Using a realistic pressure-dependent melting temperature completely suppresses melting for supported shocks, which is otherwise predicted when treating it as a constant determined at atmospheric pressure. Alternatively, large melt pools form around pores during pressure release in unsupported shocks, even with a pressure-dependent melting temperature. Capturing the pressure dependence of the shear viscosity increases the peak temperature of melt pools by hundreds of Kelvin through viscous work. The complicated interplay of the solid-phase plastic work, solid-liquid phase transition, and liquid-phase viscous work identified here motivate taking a systematic approach to building increasingly complex grain-scale models and for guiding interpretation of predictions made using them.
HIGHER-ORDER NONCLASSICAL AND ENTANGLEMENT PROPERTIES IN PHOTON-ADDED TRIO COHERENT STATE
Authors: Tran Quang Dat , Truong Minh Duc
Published: May 2020

This paper studies the higher-order nonclassical and entanglemet properties in the photon-added trio coherent state (PATCS). We use the criterion of higher-order single-mode antibunching to evaluate the role of photon addition operation. Moreover, the general criteria for detection of higher-order three-mode sum squeezing and entanglement features in the PATCS are also investigated. The results show that the photon addition operation to a trio coherent state can enhance the degree of both the higher-order single-mode antibunching and the higher-order three-mode sum squeezing, and enlarge the value of higher-order three-mode entanglement factor in the PATCS. In addition,  the manifestation of the single-mode antibunching and the entanglement properties are more obvious with increasing the higher values of orders.

Background: Hypertension is probably the most important public health problem around the world. People with periodontal disease may be at greater risk of hypertension. The inflammatory effects of periodontal disease help to promote endothelial dysfunction in arteries which may lead to changes in blood pressure. Salivary MMP-8 has been associated with both periodontal disease and prevalent hypertension.
Aim of study: This study was conducted to measure salivary matrix metalloproteinase - 8, in relation to periodontal health condition among a group of patients with hypertension in comparison with control group.
Materials and methods: Ninety subjects, aged 45-50 years old were included in this study, seeking treatment for chest pain in Ibn-AlBaytar center for cardiac surgical treatments in Baghdad, Iraq. The subjects were divided into study group (45 patient) who were diagnosed to be a hypertensive patient, and a control group (45 subject), with no hypertension. Plaque status was evaluated according to the Silness and Loe, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level. Unstimulated saliva was collected from all subjects to analyses MMP-8. Result: A high mean value of plaque index, clinical attachment level and probing pocket depth for the study group than the control group with statistically no significant difference. In addition to that, a significant positive correlation between the plaque index and the clinical attachment level among both groups. Salivary MMP-8 level showed a higher level in the study group than in the control group, with statistically significant difference between groups, and a significant positive correlation was detected between salivary MMP-8 with plaque index, among study group,
Conclusions: Higher percentage of periodontal diseases was found among patients with blood hypertension. In addition, high level of salivary MMP-8 is potentially associated with periodontal status of the study group.

Background: Ideal root canal obturation depends on many factors; one of them is good sealing of root canal without pores. The aim of this study was to determine the radiographic density of GuttaFlow® 2 with different obturation techniques using spiral computed tomography. Materials and Methods: Forty palatal roots of permanent maxillary first molar were used in this study. Following working length determination, root canal was prepared using rotary PROTAPER universal system. They were randomly divided into four groups of 10 roots each, the groups are Conventional lateral condensation with Apexit Plus sealer, Conventional lateral condensation with GuttaFlow® 2 as a sealer, Soft Core Regular with GuttaFlow® 2 as a sealer and single cone with GuttaFlow® 2. The experimental roots were then analyzed in both horizontal and vertical sections from the apex to coronal using Spiral Computed Tomography. The obtained data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests at a level of significance of 0.05. Results: Statistical analysis showed highly significant differences among the different areas (apical, middle and coronal) of each group. The density of obturation systems decreased in the following sequence: single cone with GuttaFlow® 2 (highest density), Soft Core Regular, Conventional lateral condensation with GuttaFlow® 2 as a sealer and finally Conventional lateral condensation with Apexit Plus sealer (lowest density) Conclusion: None of the tested obturation techniques can achieve ideal three-dimensional dense obturation. Single cone with GuttaFlow® 2 shows the best results.

Published: May 2020

Background: Maxillary sinusitis can arise after sinus floor elevation surgery and should be treated immediately to prevent further complications which included dental implants failure, graft lost, and oro-antral fistula. This is the first systematic review to assess the incidence, causes, and treatment of sinusitis after sinus lift surgery. Materials and methods: An electronic search included MEDLINE (PUBMED) data base site was carried out for articles involving development of sinusitis after sinus lift surgery from September 1997 up to April, 8, 2017. The search was done and reviewed by two independent authors. Results: The total results of electronic search were (182) abstracts and articles, the extracted articles which involved development of sinusitis after sinus lift surgery were (25) studies. Of the 25 articles only (8) articles fit the inclusion criteria. Maxillary sinusitis was calculated for all selected studies and it was ranged from 2.12% to 12.7% with average of 5.4 %. Conclusion: Maxillary sinusitis could be developed after sinus lift surgery with average of 5.4 % and the patients with previous maxillary sinus disease showed to be at increased risk of sinusitis after sinus lift surgery.
The effect of 2 different techniques in second stage implant surgery
Authors: Al-Jumaily Hassanien A
Published: May 2020

Background: Dental implant is one of the most important options for teeth replacement. In two stage implant surgery, a few options could be used for uncovering implants, scalpel and laser are both considered as effective methods for this purpose. The Aim of the study: To compare soft tissue laser and scalpel for exposing implant in 2nd stage surgery in terms of the need for anesthesia, duration of procedure and pain level assessment at day 1 and day 7 post operatively using visual analogue scale . Materials and methods: Ten patients who received bilateral implants participated after healing period completed, gingival depth over each implant was recorded and then implant(s) were exposed by either scalpel or laser with determination for the need of anesthesia. Duration of the procedure was calculated in each case and post-operative pain was assessed by Visual analogue scale at day 1 and day 7. Results: Statistically significant difference in the need of anesthesia was found. A non-significant difference in the duration of the operation was found between the two methods. Non-significant difference was found between the two methods regarding post-operative pain at day 1, with the day 7 scores "no pain or zero pain score" in all the cases by the two methods. A directional significant correlation was found between depth of the gingival tissue over the implants and duration of the procedures regardless of the method used. Conclusion: diode laser can be used effectively for uncovering implants, providing both the dentist and the patient with additional advantages over the conventional methods. Although there was insignificant difference in pain scoring, however implant exposure by laser was more preferred by the patients.

Background: One of the most common and prevalent oral diseases among adolescents is periodontal disease particularly gingivitis, however enamel anomalies and dental trauma could occur. Aims of the study: This study was conducted among 14-15 years intermediate school male students in urban area of Al-Khalis city to assess the oral hygiene (dental plaque) and to estimate the prevalence and severity of gingivitis, enamel anomalies, as well as traumatic dental injuries, furthermore to show the significant difference between these two ages concerning these oral problems. Materials and methods: In this study the total sample consisted of 735 students (397 aged 15 years and 338 aged 14 years ). In present study dental plaque was recorded according to the criteria of Plaque index by Silness and Loe (1964), while gingival status was determined according to the criteria of gingival index by Loe and Silness (1963). Enamel anomalies were examined and recorded according to WHO (1997). Dental trauma of permanent anterior teeth was assessed according to Garcia-Godoy classification. Results: The mean plaque index of the total students was (1.12±0.010). It was higher among 15 years students than 14 years students with statistically highly significant difference (p<0.01). The prevalence of gingivitis was 99.45%, and the mean gingival index was (1.50±0.013) which was higher among 15 years students than 14 years students with statistically no significant difference (p>0.05). The prevalence of enamel anomalies in the total students was 49.93%. The mean value of diffuse opacity was higher among 15 years students than 14 years students, furthermore, the diffuse opacity constituted a highest percentage of enamel defects among affected students. The prevalence of dental trauma was 6.12%. The prevalence of dental trauma was significantly higher among 14 years students than 15 years students (p<0.05). Conclusions: This oral health survey revealed a high prevalence of gingivitis, followed by enamel anomalies and dental trauma, thus, those students need for school and public dental health preventive programs
