The effects of monetary shocks on inflation: High-frequency approach
Authors: Bannikova V. A. , Pestova A. A.
Published: June 2021

Commonly used in monetary VARs identification schemes yield to a highfrequency approach as they tend to raise different empirical puzzles reported in the literature. However, financial markets in some open economies are not sufficiently liquid to provide minute bars data on interest rate financial instruments. This paper fills this gap employing a new series of high-frequency monetary policy surprises with USD/RUB currency futures and spot instruments. We find that a monetary tightening is contractionary without price puzzle and other paradoxes about financial variables. This result is robust for the period 2010—2019 apart from the crisis of 2014—2015 when the free floated ruble was devalued due to the sharp decline in oil prices. We also decompose surprises on monetary policy shocks — changes in the expected interest rate, and an information component — the information simultaneously conveyed by the central bank like an assessment of the economic outlook. We find that the former one significantly affects monetary policy surprises that does not confirm a hypothesis about substantial impact of non-monetary news on the external instrument.
Monetary and macroprudential policy under global financial cycle: The experience of small open economies
Authors: Akhmetov R. R. , Mamonov M. E. , Pankova V. A.
Published: June 2021

This review examines the impact of the global financial cycle on small open economies and compares the effectiveness of various monetary and macroprudential policies in the presence of global financial cycle. First, we provide a classification of the channels through which the monetary policy of the world financial regulators (US Federal Reserve, ECB), which largely determines the global financial cycle, is transmitted to small open economies: the channel for interest rates differential, the channel for the activities of global financial institutions, and the channel for commodity prices. Second, by analyzing the arguments of supporters and critics of the monetary policy trilemma, we show how the literature comes to the conclusion that inflation targeting policy is still one of the most optimal solutions for achieving the goals of price and macroeconomic stability but fails to ensure financial stability. The latter requires active coordination with macroprudential policy measures. These conclusions are supported by the analysis of case studies of specific countries (Russia, New Zealand, Brazil, Turkey, etc.), which attempted to mitigate negative consequences of the 2007—2009 global financial crisis.

Published: June 2021

We analyze the heterogeneous influence that monetary policy has on the growth rates of real personal income in 79 Russian regions over the period from 2Q2015 to 4Q2019, taking into account some of the channels of monetary policy transmission mechanism and spatial effects. The analysis was performed on the basis of panel data and a spatial autoregressive model. Besides that, we have calculated individual direct effects of changes of the interest rate for each region. Our results confirm the existence of a negative relationship between changes in the interest rate and growth rates of real personal income. This relationship is heterogeneous for different regions. Among the significant factors affecting the heterogeneity of the influence of monetary policy are the industrial structure and concentration of small businesses in regional economies. We have also found significant positive spatial effects of neighboring regions on each other. Our results generally coincide with those received in analyses of the effects of monetary policy in other countries.

Published: June 2021

Air water generators that harvest water from air humidity have the potential to counter the ever-rising problem of drinking water scarcity. There are many different types of air water generation systems that work on various different principles. Desiccant based air water generation systems work on the principle of moisture absorption, consisting of a packed bed dehumidifier that absorbs the moisture from air. This reduces the energy requirement of the system. To discuss the efficiency of the system, it is crucial to understand the working of the packed bed column. In this paper, a mathematical model has been developed for a packed bed dehumidification system using aqueous CaCl2 as the liquid desiccant. This model has been developed using water saturation pressure and equilibrium relative humidity models. The packed bed model has been used to study the effect of various input parameters like air and desiccant flow rate, packing material, relative humidity and desiccant concentration, on the capacity of the desiccant to absorb water from air. The results so obtained can be used to predict the water that can be absorbed by the desiccant in the packed bed column for given inlet conditions.

Published: June 2021

The study investigates the ability to remove copper, tin and arsenic from iron ore, scrap and liquid steel based on the literature and thermodynamic calculations using the FactSage 7.2 software. Methods of removing Cu, Sn and As from iron-bearing materials, feasible in industrial conditions in the near term, were selected. Simulation tests with the use of the FactSage 7.2 software showed that under reduced pressure conditions Cu and Sn can be removed from the steel bath, while As evaporation is not possible. Laboratory tests were carried out, including the removal of Sn and Cu in the process of degassing of liquid steel in a deep vacuum in a vacuum induction furnace and the removal of Sn from iron ore in the sintering process. Under conditions of deep vacuum (below 40 Pa), high temperature (1670°C) and a correspondingly long vacuum treatment time (over 30 minutes), the efficiency of removing the copper and tin contents from the liquid steel of approximately 14 and 17% respectively was obtained. The iron ore sintering test with a high Sn content showed the effectiveness of reducing the Sn content during this process, amounting to approx. 30%.

Authors: Баськов В. В.
Published: June 2021

This scientific article analyzes the regulatory framework for the use of special means by the police in Ukraine during the termination of group violations of public security and order, as well as during mass riots in the city. The types of special means that police officers are authorized to use to carry out their official duties, in particular, during the cessation of group violations of public security and order, as well as during mass riots in the city, have been identified and analyzed. Attention is focused on such special means as: rubber and plastic batons; electroshock devices of contact and contact-remote action; means of limiting mobility; means equipped with lacrimal and irritating substances; means of forced stopping of transport; devices, grenades and ammunition of light and sound action; means equipped with safe smoke-generating drugs; water cannons, armored vehicles and other special vehicles, since the use of these special means most often occurs in the suppression of group violations of public security and order by units of the National Police of Ukraine during mass riots, precisely in the city. A list of special means has been determined and substantiated, the use of which is the most appropriate and effective in accordance with the requirements of the current legislation, upon termination of group violations of public security and order by units of the National Police of Ukraine during mass riots, taking into account the conditions of a certain city. It is concluded that during the cessation of group violations of public security and order, as well as during mass riots in the city, the methods of persuasion, prevention and prevention, as well as methods of coercion in the field of ensuring public safety and order, should not be opposed to each other, but should be complementary.

Published: June 2021

La barrera epitelial intestinal es altamente regulada y permite el pasaje selectivo de nutrientes, mientras que es impermeable a sustancias nocivas. Las uniones entre las células de este epitelio tienen estructuras proteicas que son responsables de mantener dicha impermeabilidad. Existen sustancias que pueden dañar la impermeabilidad de la barrera epitelial intestinal, como el etanol. Existen sustancias en los alimentos que aminoran el daño que puede sufrir la mencionada barrera. En este trabajo se buscó relacionar patrones de consumo de alcohol, la calidad de vida desde el punto de vista de la salud intestinal y la frecuencia de consumo de grupos de alimentos

 Si bien no se pudo encontrar una relación clara entre el consumo de ciertos alimentos y la calidad de vida, para los distintos patrones de consumo de alcohol, existe una clara relación inversa entre el consumo de alcohol y la calidad de vida.

Published: June 2021

Mycotoxins are agricultural contaminants of fungal origin occurring at all latitudes worldwide and being characterized by acute and chronic effects on human health and animal wellness, depending on the species sensitivity. Various types of crops like maize, wheat, soybeans etc are used as raw materials for preparing feed of fish and shrimp. They are particularly susceptible to infection by Aspergillus following prolonged exposure to a high humidity environment. For this reason, the fish and shrimp samples should be tested for identifying and quantifying mycotoxin. The major mycotoxins of food concern are aflatoxin (B1, B2, G1, G2) for its toxicity. This paper focus on the confirmation of aflatoxin in fish and shrimp by developing method and validated it by LC/MS-MS (ZEVO TQD) which is important for ensuring the safety of fishery product for human consumption. The monitored MRM transitions for B1, B2, G1, G2 were m/z 31357 and m/z 31371, m/z 31888 and m/z 318256, m/z 328.75242.99 and m/z 328.75199.9, m/z 330.3488 and m/z 330.34106 respectively.

Breast cancer is one of the common cancers in women that causes financial health burden and or death in Bangladesh. Economically we are slowly rising from low to middle income country, which is changing our women's lifestyle. Risk factors of breast cancer include lifestyle factors like- age at first childbirth, parity, using oral contraceptives, BMI; which are also changing in our women. This study will look at our current incidence and patient profile of breast cancer patient. This is a retrospective study done in BIRDEM General Hospital. One hundred patient presenting with breast lump during the period of September 2018 -May 2019 were selected by purposive sampling. In <30 years age group 2 (13.6%) patient had cancer, 41% at <40 years, 53% in 51-60 , 83% in 61-70 age group. Thirty four out of 100 breast lump patient were diagnosed with cancer. Eleven had early cancer, 20 had locally advanced cancer, 3 presented with metastasis. In our study risk factor assessment did not show significant increase risk of in patients who are having cancer compared to those having benign breast disease with similar risk factors. The big number of advance and metastatic breast cancers in our study indicates self-breast examination and breast cancer screening program is still inadequate. Further research is required to find out breast cancer biology and pathogenesis rather than blindly accusing urbanized life style.

Erratum: Role of blood cells in diagnosis of asthma-COPD overlap among patients with COPD
Authors: Islam Md Monimul , Hossain Md Ali , Bennoor Kazi Saifuddin , Ali Taskina
Published: June 2021

Background: As asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) and COPD share some common clinical features, this makes difficult to distinguish them from each other. Since, both of them are characterized by airway inflammation, any inflammatory biomarker such as total count (TC) of white blood cells (WBC), neutrophil, eosinophil and platelet can be used for that purpose.

Objective: To assess the role of TC of WBC, neutrophil, eosinophil and platelet in diagnosis of ACO among patients with COPD.

Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from 2019 March to Feb 2020. In this study, 63 male stable patients (age range: 40 to 80 years) of COPD were enrolled. Among them, 51 patients were finally selected according to exclusion criteria and divided into two groups, ACO (n=26) and COPD alone (n=25). TC of WBC, neutrophil, eosinophil and platelet of all patients were measured by standard lab procedure. For statistical analysis, Chi-Square and Fisher exact test, Shapiro-Wilk test, Mann-Whitney U test were done as applicable. More over, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed.

Results: In the present study, TC of WBC and neutrophil count were significantly (p<0.01) lower, whereas, blood eosinophil count was significantly (p<0.05) higher in ACO patients than those of COPD-alone. In addition, highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was found in case of blood neutrophil count, followed by TC of WBC and eosinophil count. Moreover, at optimal cut off value, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of blood count of total WBC were calculated as, 72.00, 61.50, 64.28, 69.56, respectively. However, the aforementioned indices were observed for blood neutrophil count, as 72.00, 76.90, 75.00, 74.07 and for blood eosinophil count, as 38.50%, 92.00%, 83.33%, 58.97%, respectively.

Conclusion:The present study reveals that blood count of total WBC, neutrophil and eosinophil, but not the platelet, play substantial role in diagnosis of ACO among the patients with COPD.
