Authors: ÖÇAL Ramazan , KARGIN KAYTEZ Selda , AKÇAALAN BAYRAM Behiye , İBAS Mustafa , ÇELİK Hatice
Published: March 2021

Amaç: İnflamasyon temeline dayandırılan Bell paralizide NLR(nötrofil-lenfosit oranı), PLR(platelet-lenfosit oranı), MPV(ortalama platelet hacmi), RDW(kırmızı hücre dağılım genişliği) ve PDW(platelet dağılım genişliği) değerlerinin prognostik önemlerinin ve eğer varsa birbirlerine üstünlüklerinin olup olmadığının belirlenmesidir

Materyal Metod: Kliniğimize başvuran ve Bell paralizi tanısı konan 52 hastanın ve rutin sağlık taraması için polikliniğe başvuran ve hasta grubu ile cinsiyet açısından benzer 52 bireyden oluşan kontrol grubunun dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelenerek gerçekleştirildi. Kliniğimizde hastaların fasiyal paralizilerinin dereceleri iki ayrı Kulak Burun boğaz uzmanı tarafından House-Brackmann sınıflamasına göre yapılmaktadır. Klinik olarak bütün hastalara standart tedavi uygulanmaktadır. Travma, Ramsey-Hunt sendromu, akut veya kronik otitis media ve tümöre bağlı fasiyal paralizisi olanlar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Hastaların tam kan sayımı incelemesinden PDW, RDW, MPV değerleri bakılarak; NLR ve PLR ise hesaplanarak tedavi ve kontrol grubu ile tedaviye yanıt veren ve vermeyen gruplar arasında karşılaştırması yapılmıştır.

Bulgular: Hasta grubunda ortalama yaş 53.38± 8.31 iken, kontrol grubunda 36.50 ± 11.34 idi. Ortalama lenfosit düzeyi hasta grubunda 2.83±1.13 bulunurken, kontrol grubunda 2.25±0.65 olarak bulundu ve iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark izlendi (p=0.002). MPV, RDW, PDW değerleri açısından hasta grubu ve kontrol grubu arasında arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark izlenmedi. Bu parametrelerin başvuru anındaki değerlerinin prognostik önemi açısından bakıldığında tedaviye yanıt veren ve vermeyen gruplar arasında da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark görülmedi. Son olarak hasta grubunda NLR 1.85 ± 0.80, kontrol grubunda 2.07 ± 0.85, yine hasta grubunda PLR 109.91 ± 39.32, kontrol grubunda 124.19 ± 40.25 izlendi ve her 2 parametre açısından da hasta ve kontrol grubu ile tedaviye yanıt veren ve vermeyen gruplar arasında istatistiksel anlamlı fark gözlenmedi.

Sonuç: İnflamatuar parametreler Bell paralizide kesin parognostik belirteç değildir ancak literatüre bakıldığında bazılarının mikrovasküler hasar ve artmış inflamasyonla ilişkili olduğu söylenebilir. Dolayısıyla bu hastalarda hastalığın patogenezinin yapılacak çalışmalarla daha iyi ortaya konması ve prognozu belirleyebilecek farklı parametrelerin araştırılmasına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

This study assessed the influence of local community intervention measures on reconstruction of public teacher training colleges in South Sudan. The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey design and a total of 1953 respondents including the principals, tutors and teacher students from 3 registered and operational teacher training colleges in South Sudan. Stratefied random sampling technique was used to select 321 respondents as the sample size. The study collected primary data using questionnaires and interview guides. The analysis of the colelcted data was conducted using descriptive statistics like frequencies and percentages. Besides descriptive statistics, the study also used inferential statistics including correlation and regression analysis. The study established that local community intervention measures (p<0.05) were all significant. Therefore, the study rejected the formulated hypotheses in favour of the alternative hypotheses since their p-values were all less than 0.05 as 5 per cent was considered as the level of significance in the study. The study concluded that all local community intervention measures had positive and significant influence on reconstruction of public teacher training colleges. The study recommended that the Ministry Education in South Sudan work in close collaboration with all the stakeholders in the field of education as far as reconstruction of training colleges is concerned.

The study assessed contributions of forest products to nutrition and livelihoods in Yewa North Local Government of Ogun State, Nigeria. The main objective of the study found out the socio-economic contributions of the forest foods towards livelihoods in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria. The specific objectives; identified and described the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, identified the available edible forest/wild plants and animals in the study area, determined the socio-economic factors influencing the use of forest foods in the study area as well as described major problems facing forest food collection, processing, marketing and consumption in the study area. Three hundred and fifty (350) respondents randomly selected from major communities were interviewed with questionnaire.  Data generated were analysed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Majority (65%) were males (88%) between 21 and 60 years. The principal household size was 6-10 (60%) persons; major occupation is farming (41%). Farm sizes were below a hectare. Majority (75%) lived in concrete houses and mud houses (22%). About half (45%) of the respondents uses water closets, pit latrines (32%) while 20% defecated in nearby bushes. Ninety percent possessed mobile phones for communication and 68% indicated availability of conventional medical facilities. Drinkable water was sourced from private boreholes (31%), public water (46%), streams (27%) and wells (12%). The source of energy is national grid (91%), kerosene stoves (56%) and firewood (28%). The respondents indicated high assets index in terms of household assets (81%) and farm assets (92%). Twenty-two plant species were identified of which 95% were eaten and twenty animal species were identified. Logistic regression model showed that sex and household size tended to increase the odds in favor of consumption of forest foods while age, educational farm size and tools owned tended to decrease consumption of forest foods.

Authors: Sinha Sudarshina
Published: March 2021

The novel Corona virus has been declared a pandemic due to its high transmissibility rate, influencing human life to its heights. It has affected the psychological and mental health of all people, including the functioning of various sectors. This study is based on a micro-level survey that discusses the pandemic's effect on 600 students pursuing education in secondary and higher secondary levels in Kolkata. The school students’ effect was analysed based on four parameters— school, home, a shift in the medium of education from offline to online, and the effect on the students’ future plans, aims, and ambition. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire, which was comprised of structured and semi-structured questions circulated online among the respondents. The respondents were asked to initially rank the indicators and the variables they considered the most critical cause affecting their studies. The respondents were then asked to rate the indicators on a five-point Likert scale to judge the degree of impact of the variables on the respondents.

Authors: Das Indira , Deka Sujit
Published: March 2021

Flood causes extreme loss of infrastructure and human life; besides it also propagates the condition of poverty and unceasing marginalisation of the affected region from development. This study elucidates how flood contributes to the socio-economic conditions of the rural people living in the Southern part of the Kamrup district of Assam. It focusses on flood hazard zoning and flood vulnerability analyses that are delineated based on the data collected from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Near Real-Time (NRT) Global Flood Mapping Product Portal. Flood hazard zoning of the study area is done using Multi-Criteria evaluation method based on rainfall distribution, slope, drainage density, population density, soil type, elevation, flow accumulation, roads, and embankment utilising Cartosat DEM and IRS P6 LISS III data. The zones are identified as actively flooded, chronically flooded, and occasionally flooded zones, which affects 39.4 per cent, 12.9 per cent and 26.1 per cent population respectively covering 1189.2 sq. km, that is, 56.5 per cent area of the study region.  The flood vulnerability assessment of the study area is done at village and ward level adapting geospatial assessment in a GIS environment. The findings of the research are generated through observations, key informant interviews with the rural population surveying 1420 number of households. It reveals that 200 villages are affected by floods every year that constitutes 76.6 per cent households and 78.4 per cent of the population of the study area.

Authors: Kumar Ravi Ranjan , Singh Kaushalendra Pratap , Ete Leeyir
Published: March 2021

Bio-geographically, Arunachal Pradesh is the wealthiest province of the entire Himalayas. The picturesque terra firma full of natural beauty and rich cultural opulence, in its entirety, falls under the eastern Himalayan landscape. This north eastern territory of the country was previously called “Terra Incognita” till the beginning of the 20th Century, and hitherto remains one of the least studied states in India today. The state’s socio-economic development is currently in a transitional phase with variations across different districts. Considering the quality of social capital available, there is a dire need to emphasise proper resource flow and foster an understanding of the importance of the existent social capital. It may be noted that entrepreneurs are powerful instruments of development and economic change. So, panacea in the long term is the promotion of social innovation and entrepreneurship, which will give momentum to the State’s developmental agenda and address the state’s social issues. Indeed requires a motivating ecosystem which prioritises essential skills and innovation and adopts a fresh, sustainable view of resources and technology. Therefore, the present paper explores the prospects of social innovation and entrepreneurship in the state with particular reference to contemporary social concerns adopting a practice-based approach.
(Not) Doing the Right Things for the Wrong Reasons: An Investigation of Consumer Attitudes, Perceptions, and Willingness to Pay for Bio-Based Plastics

Published: March 2021

Fossil-based plastics are significant contributors to global warming through CO2 emissions. For more sustainable alternatives to be successful, it is important to ensure that consumers become aware of the benefits of innovations such as bio-based plastics, in order to create demand and a willingness to initially pay more. Given that consumer attitudes and (inaccurate) beliefs can influence the uptake such new technologies, we investigated participants’ attitudes towards fossil-based and bio-based plastic, their perceived importance of recycling both types of plastic, their willingness to pay, and their perceptions of bio-based plastic in four studies (total N = 961). The pre-registered fourth study experimentally manipulated information about bio-based plastic and measured willingness to pay for different types of plastic. The results suggest participants hold very favourable attitudes and are willing to pay more for bio-based products. However, they also harbour misconceptions, especially overestimating bio-based plastic’s biodegradability, and they find it less important to recycle bio-based than fossil-based plastic. Study 4 provided evidence that educating consumers about the properties of bio-based plastic can dispel misconceptions, retain a favourable attitude and a high willingness to pay. We found mixed evidence for the effect of attitudes on willingness to pay, suggesting other psychological factors may also play a role. We discuss how attitudes and misconceptions affect the uptake of new sustainable technologies such as bio-based plastics and consumers’ willingness to purchase them.
DASTEX: a New Readability Formula based on Semantic Complexity of Text
Authors: Besharati Mohammad Reza , Izadi Mohammad
Published: March 2021

Simple measures often couldn’t count a deep complexity. In the case of semantic complexity of the text, conventional readability formulas share a common style, a common sort of achievements and a common borders of limitation: These formulas lack a semantics-aware approach and as a result, a precise measurement of semantic complexity couldn’t be done by them. In this paper, we introduce DASTEX, a novel semantics-aware complexity measure for semantic complexity of text. By DASTEX, a new layer of complexity analysis are opened for NLP, cognitive and computational tasks. This measure benefits from an intuitionistic underlying formal model which consider semantic as a lattice of intuitions. This yields to a well-defined definition for semantic of a text and its complexity. DASTEX is a practical analysis method upon this formal model. So a complete suite of idea, model and method are prepared to result in a simple but yet deep measure for semantic complexity of text. The evaluation of the proposed approach is done by a detailed example, a case study, a set of eighteen human-judgment experiments and a corpus-based evaluation. The results show that DASTEX is capable of measuring the semantic complexity of text. The Experiment-results demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms the random baseline in terms of better precision and accuracy.
N,N-bis(2-quinolinylmethyl)benzylamine
Authors: Hunter Leigh Andre , Naidoo Shivani , Mambanda Allen
Published: March 2021

The compound, C27H23N3 (1), crystallizes in the triclinic system of the P-1 space group. The unit cell comprises a dimer of 1, in which the monomers are linked by two complementary hydrogen bonds between N1 and H1-C1 of another molecule. The dimers form chains along the a-axis through intermolecular interactions between the N2 acceptor atoms and C17 donors from molecules in the nearest neighbouring dimer. These interactions form extended sheets of the dimers of 1, along the ab plane. The quinolinylmeth-2-yl groups of 1 lie in almost orthogonal planes and their N1/2(q) donor atoms being away from the apical amino N3 atom.
A Machine Learning Approach for the Tune Estimation in the LHC
Authors: Grech Leander , Valentino Gianluca , Louro Alves Diogo Miguel
Published: March 2021

The betatron tune in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is measured using a Base-Band Tune (BBQ) system. The processing of these BBQ signals is often perturbed by 50 Hz noise harmonics present in the beam. This causes the tune measurement algorithm, currently based on peak detection, to provide incorrect tune estimates during the acceleration cycle with values that oscillate between neighbouring harmonics. The LHC tune feedback (QFB) cannot be used to its full extent in these conditions as it relies on stable and reliable tune estimates. In this work we propose new tune estimation algorithms, designed to mitigate this problem through different techniques. As ground-truth of the real tune measurement does not exist, we developed a surrogate model, which allowed us to perform a comparative analysis of a simple weighted moving average, Gaussian Processes and different deep learning techniques. The simulated dataset used to train the deep models was also improved using a variant of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) called SimGAN. In addition we demonstrate how these methods perform with respect to the present tune estimation algorithm.

RECONSIDERING WHITE LIBERALS IN NATIVE SON
Authors: Al-Barhow Abdul-Razzak
Published: March 2021

This paper examines the novel Native Son (1940) by Richard Wright (1908-1960). When the main character, Bigger Thomas, walks out of Chicago’s Black Belt to work as a chauffeur for the Daltons, a family of white liberals, and kills their daughter by accident, he interacts with numerous white characters. Bigger’s perspective dismisses the Daltons and other white people as particles of a huge mountain of hate. The only exceptions to this are Jan Erlone and Boris Max, the two communist characters who succeed in establishing their humanity to Bigger and win his trust. This article reconsiders white liberals beyond the way they are presented through Bigger’s dominant perspective and the way they are generally seen by critics.

Authors: Miller James , Vavrin John , Stidwell IV Samuel
Published: March 2021

A study was performed by the Energy Branch of the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory, on behalf of the US Army Installation Management Command under the Installation Technology Transition Program. The focus of the study was related to maintainability and operability issues associated with High Performance Sustainable Buildings (HPSBs). This study was conducted primarily based on information gleaned from telephone and web conference discussions with installation Directorate of Public Works personnel including Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Chiefs, energy managers, maintenance supervisors, and maintenance technicians. Experiences with HPSBs varied from installation to installation. For example, some installations had very positive experiences with photovoltaic (PV) arrays while other sites questioned their practicality due to maintainability problems. One site noted that PV technologies are changing so rapidly that procuring spare/repair parts becomes difficult or impossible when vendors discontinue supporting their older technologies or manufacturers go out of business. Based on discussions with the installation O&M personnel, a table of pro and con recommendations for 25 technologies, which are commonly implemented on HPSBs, was prepared and is included in this report.
Ways of transforming the metaphysical thinkingin the “conceptless language” of the late M. Heidegger
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Koda Nadezhda V.
Published: March 2021

The article provides an analysis of the concept of “conceptless language” in the works of the late Martin Heidegger. The formation of a “conceptless language” is one of the most mysterious phenomena in the philosophy of the thinker. The specific structure of this lan­guage is one of the main criticisms of the later works of the philosopher and the opposition of Heidegger as the author of “Sein und Zeit” to Heidegger of the period “Beiträge zur Philosophie. Vom Ereignis”. The article explains the specific structure of the “concept-free language”, the reasons for its creation and its role in the late Heidegger philosophy. An at­tempt is made to reveal the hidden logic of a “conceptless language” and the principles by which it is guided. The search for the logic of a “conceptless language” is carried out through consideration of some of its aspects: a way of expressing thoughts, features of the style of argumentation, and a method of forming terms. An analysis of these aspects shows how Heidegger seeks to overcome the problem of the so-called “refusal” (Versagen) of the language that arose after writing “Sein und Zeit”. In search of a language correspond­ing to the transition to a different beginning, the principles of the late Heidegger hermeneutic methodology are formed: the “principle of intentional incomprehensibility” of terms, “default logic”, clarification of terms through their “internal form”, method of “thoughtful use of language” (besinnliche Sprachgebrauch). The analysis leads to the con­clusion that the profound change in thinking, which the late Heidegger sought on the way to another beginning, is impossible without the transformation of the language. Due to the fact that the existing “metaphysical” thinking is directly related to the conceptual lan­guage, a “non-conceptual language” opens the way for alternative thinking.
A. F. Losev and GAKhN’s “Encyclopedia of Artistic Sciences”: to the history of an unrealized publishing project
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Takho-Godi Elena A.
Published: March 2021

The publication covers an obscure episode from the scientific biography of the great Russian philosopher Alexei Losev related to his work in the 1920s at the State Academy of Artistic Sciences (GAKhN). For the first time, Losev’s thirteen articles from Research Department of manuscripts of the Russian State Library [f. 81 (State Academy of art studies), inv. 26, item 1] are put into scientific circulation: “Antiquity”, “Apollinism”, “Harmony”, “Dionysism”, “Callistics”, “Calocagathia”, “Catharsis”, “Cosmic feeling”, “Cosmos”, “Logos”, “Mania”, “Mathematics and art”, “Melos”. This articles were written in the second half of the 1920s and were intended for a publishing project of the State Academy of Artistic Sciences – the first volume of the multi-volume “Encyclopedia of Artistic Sciences”, conceived in 1922 as a “Dictionary of Artistic Terminology”. The project was never realized. The topics of the articles reflect the range of the scientific problems that interested Losev in the 1920s as well as his special attention to the study of terminology, which found its full implementation in the 1970 – 1980s during the work on “The History of Classical Aesthetics”.

The paper examines E.N. Trubetskoy’s reception of Vl.S. Solovyov’s theocratic project. In addition, the author establishes the points of convergence and divergence of the two Russian religious thinkers on the nature and the possible ways of Christian unity. The two philosophers were close friends and in his texts devoted to Solovyov Trubetskoy repeat­edly emphasized the influence of his friend’s ideas on his own philosophical construc­tions. Nevertheless, Trubetskoy took those ideas critically. To prepare his answer to Solovyov’s arguments Trubetskoy need the years between the time of his master’s thesis “The world outlook of Saint Augustine” until the time of his doctoral dissertation. “The world outlook of Vl.S. Solovyov” became one of his fundamental works. It is in this work that Trubetskoy’s key arguments against Solovyov’s “free theocracy” project are presented. The author shows that despite adopting Solovyov’s views on Christian unity Trubetskoy did not accept the ways by which Solovyov proposed to achieve it. Trubet­skoy argues with the Solovyov of the 1880s, contrasting Solovyov’s ideas of that period with his later ideas and emphasizing that Solovyov’s key work on the topic was “War, Progress and the End of World History, Including a Short Tale of the Antichrist”. The pa­per also emphasizes that theocracy becomes one of the principal topics for Trubetskoy. In the process of analyzing Solovyov’s project of a “free theocracy” and studying the his­torical context in which the theocratic idea had been formed in the Western tradition Tru­betskoy formulates his principled views on the relationship between the church and the state and justifies the need for their separation.

Diabetes mellitus is a type of chronic disease that is non-transmitted. Aceh province is the province with the seventh-highest prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Indonesia at 2.4%. People with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at risk of various complications and can cause death. Self-management of diabetes is one of the things that can be done by people with diabetes mellitus in controlling various complications. This study aimed to find out the relationship between diabetes self-management and blood glucose control of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Ulee Kareng Subdistrict, Banda Aceh. This type of sampling method in this research was cross-sectional with the number of samples in this study as many as 88 respondents. The study was conducted using the DSMQ questionnaire filling method to assess diabetes self-management level and blood glucose level value when respondents assess blood glucose control. The results of the study obtained are 30.7% of respondents have a good level of diabetes self- management, 44.3% enough, and 25% bad. As for blood glucose control, 65.9% of respondents had uncontrolled blood glucose levels, and 34.1% controlled. The results of the chi-square test obtained a p-value of 0.000 and the spearman correlation test obtained a p-value of 0.000, as well as a correlation coefficient of 0.492. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between moderate and unidirectional levels between diabetes self-management and blood glucose control of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Ulee Kareng Subdistrict, Banda Aceh.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) is considering as one of the exploring technology. WSN has a large number of sensor nodes, which sense the environment and collect the data. The collected data are sending to the sink through the intermediate nodes. Since the sensors node data are exposed to the internet, there is a possibility of vulnerability in the WSN. The common attack that affects most of the sensor nodes is the DDoS attack. In this paper aims to identify the DDoS attack quickly and to recover sensors using the fuzzy logic mechanism. In the Fuzzy based DDoS attack Detection and Recovery mechanism (FBDR) method uses type 1 fuzzy-logic to detect the occurrence of DDoS attack in a node. Similarly fuzzy- type 2 is used for recovery DDoS attack. Both the type 1 fuzzy-based rule and type 2 fuzzy-based rule perform well in terms of identifying the DDoS attack and recover the DDoS attack. It also helps to reduce the energy consumption of each node and improves the lifetime of the network. The proposed FBDR scheme is compared with other related schemes. The experimental results represent that the FBDR method works better than other similar schemes.
Sensitivity genes in wheat and corresponding effector genes in necrotrophs exhibiting inverse gene-for-gene relationship

Published: March 2021

In wheat, genes for resistance (R) as well as susceptibility (S) are now known for several diseases. The S genes also include sensitivity genes like Tsn1 in wheat. R genes follow a gene-for-gene (GFG) relationship and generally involve biotrophs and S genes particularly sensitivity genes, follow an inverse gene-for-gene relationship (IGFG), generally involving necrotroph or hemi-biotroph pathogens. The toxin (virulence factor) genes of the pathogen and the corresponding sensitivity genes have been described in some detail for the following three pathogens: (i) Paratagonospora nodorum (causing Septoria nodorum blotch or SNB); (ii) Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (tan spot) and (iii) Bipolaris sorokiniana (spot blotch). These and some other pathogens produce several necrotrophic effectors (NEs), which interact directly or indirectly with the products of S genes in the host and produce disease symptoms like necrosis and/or chlorosis. In this article we present a critical review of all the relevant information about the interactions between NEs of the above three pathogens and the corresponding S genes in wheat. The gaps in knowledge and possibilities for future research are also discussed.
Detecting microstructural deviations in individuals with deep diffusion MRI tractometry

Most diffusion MRI (dMRI) studies of disease rely on statistical comparisons between large groups of patients and healthy controls to infer altered tissue state. Such studies often require data from a significant number of patients before robust inferences can be made, and clinical heterogeneity can greatly challenge their discriminative power. Moreover, for clinicians and researchers studying small datasets, rare cases, or individual patients, this approach is clearly inappropriate. There is a clear and unmet need to shift away from the current standard approach of group-wise comparisons to methods with the sensitivity for detection of altered tissue states at the individual level. This would ultimately enable the early detection and interpretation of microstructural abnormalities in individual patients, an important step towards personalised-medicine in translational imaging. To this end, Detect was developed to advance dMRI-based Tractometry towards single-subject analysis. By: 1) operating on the manifold of white matter pathways; and 2) learning normative microstructural features to better discriminate patients from controls, our framework captures idiosyncrasies in patterns along brain white matter pathways in the individual. This novel approach paves the way from traditional group-based comparisons to true personalised radiology, taking microstructural imaging from the bench to the bedside.
Solar Wind Helium Abundance Heralds Solar Cycle Onset

We study the solar wind helium-to-hydrogen abundance's ( A He ) relationship to solar cycle onset. Using OMNI/Lo data, we show that A He increases prior to sunspot number (SSN) minima. We also identify a rapid depletion and recovery in A He that occurs directly prior to cycle onset. This A He Shutoff happens at approximately the same time across solar wind speeds ( v sw ) and the time between successive A He shutoffs is typically on the order of the corresponding solar cycle length. In contrast to A He 's v sw -dependent phase lag with respect to SSN (Alterman and Kasper, 2019), A He Shutoff's concurrence across v sw likely implies it is independent of solar wind acceleration and driven by a mechanism near or below the photosphere. Using Brightpoint (BP) measurements to provide context, we infer that this shutoff is likely related to the overlap of adjacent solar cycles and the equatorial flux cancelation of the older, extended solar cycle during solar minima.
Are Political Leaders with Professional Background in Business Bad for Climate Mitigation?
Authors: Kallis Giorgos , Diaz-Serrano Luis
Published: March 2021

Do political leaders affect the climate mitigation of the nation they govern, and if yes, to which leader characteristics voters who care about climate should pay attention to when they vote? There is abundant literature on how ideology of political parties in power affects climate policy outcomes, but there is nothing similar for individual characteristics of government leaders. This is the first study of its kind, building on a dataset of government leaders of OECD countries for the period 1992-2017. We find that leaders’ professional background is the trait that has the strongest effect. Higher emissions and lower renewable energy deployment are more likely during the tenure of former businesspersons or economists. Teachers and doctors instead are associated with lower emissions and with higher rates of renewable energy deployment. Our results suggest that voters and pressure groups should care about candidates’ professional background, in addition to their party’s ideology.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted a wide range of policy responses from governments around the world. In this study, we investigate the effect of governmental policies on the spread of the COVID-19 in a cross-country setting using the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Stringency Index. We find that stringent government policies overall, and the following policies in particular, are associated with a lower spread rate of COVID-19 cases: workplace closing, restrictions on gatherings, close of public transport, stay-at-home order, restrictions on internal movement, and international travel controls; while school closing and public events cancellation are not associated with a lower COVID-19 spread. After including all policies into one single regression and examining their associations simultaneously with the virus spread, we find that the two policies stand out and remain to have a negative association with the COVID-19 spread: close of public transport and restrictions on international travel. Finally, we show that when countries are more oriented toward a tight culture, their governmental strict policies effect on the spread of COVID-19 becomes 1.5 – 3 times stronger than countries more toward a loose culture. Our findings suggest that the governments need to carefully implement policies to cope with the COVID-19 spread in their own social and cultural context.
