A LEI Nº 13.467/2017 (REFORMA TRABALHISTA) COMO INSTRUMENTO FACILITADOR AO TRABALHO ESCRAVO
Authors: Santos Railson Felix , Coelho Leandro Alves
Published: November 2023

Esste artigo tem como objetivo identificar as principais mudanças trazidas pela Reforma Trabalhista e suas possíveis implicações no combate ao trabalho escravo. Como objetivos específicos, busca-se apresentar a Lei nº 13.467/2017 e seus dispositivos legais, definir o trabalho escravo segundo a legislação brasileira, e analisar como a flexibilização dos direitos trabalhistas promovida pela Lei nº 13.467/2017 pode contribuir para o aumento da ocorrência de trabalho escravo no Brasil. Para atingir esses objetivos, utiliza-se o método de pesquisa hipotético-dedutivo. Constata-se que a flexibilização das normas trabalhistas decorrente da Reforma implementada em 2017, embora apresente intenções de dinamizar o mercado de trabalho, pode inadvertidamente criar um ambiente propício para a precarização das condições laborais. Ao flexibilizar as regras de contratação e demissão, bem como permitir a terceirização indiscriminada, existe uma tendência de redução dos direitos e garantias dos trabalhadores. Essa precarização, por sua vez, pode potencializar o surgimento de situações alarmantes de trabalho em condições análogas à de escravo. A ausência de uma estrutura regulatória sólida e a pressão por maximização de lucros podem levar empregadores a submeter trabalhadores a jornadas exaustivas, salários indignos e condições de trabalho deploráveis, refletindo uma triste realidade que remete a práticas de exploração do passado. Portanto, é imprescindível que se promova uma análise crítica das consequências da flexibilização das normas trabalhistas decorrente da Reforma Trabalhista, visando preservar os direitos fundamentais dos trabalhadores e prevenir o ressurgimento de formas contemporâneas de trabalho escravo.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Insoluble particles influence weather and climate by means of heterogeneous freezing process. Current weather and climate models face considerable uncertainties in freezing-process simulation due to limited information regarding species and number concentrations of heterogeneous ice-nucleating particles, particularly insoluble particles. Here, for the first time, the size distribution and species of insoluble particles are analyzed in 30 shells of 12 hailstones collected from China using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry. A total of 289 461 insoluble particles were detected and divided into three species – organics, dust, and bioprotein – utilizing machine learning methods. The size distribution of the insoluble particles of each species varies greatly among the different hailstones but little in their shells. Further, a classic size distribution of organics and dust followed logarithmic normal distributions, which could potentially be adapted in future weather and climate models despite the existence of uncertainties. Our findings highlight the need for atmospheric chemistry to be considered in the simulation of ice-freezing processes.
A neural-network-based method for generating synthetic 1.6 µm near-infrared satellite images
Authors: Baur Florian , Scheck Leonhard , Stumpf Christina , Köpken-Watts Christina , Potthast Roland
Published: November 2023

Abstract. In combination with observations from visible satellite channels, near-infrared channels can provide valuable additional cloud information, e.g. on cloud phase and particle sizes, which is also complementary to the information content of thermal infrared channels. Exploiting near-infrared channels for operational data assimilation and model evaluation requires a sufficiently fast and accurate forward operator. This study presents an extension to the method for fast satellite image synthesis (MFASIS) that allows for simulating reflectances of the 1.6 µm near-infrared channel based on a computationally efficient neural network with the same accuracy that has already been achieved for visible channels. For this purpose, it is important to better represent vertical variations in effective cloud particle radii, as well as mixed-phase clouds and molecular absorption in the idealized profiles used to train the neural network. A new approach employing a two-layer model of water, ice and mixed-phase clouds is described, and the relative importance of the different input parameters characterizing the idealized profiles is analysed. A comprehensive data set sampled from Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) forecasts together with different parameterizations of the effective water and ice particle radii is used for the development and evaluation of the method. Further evaluation uses a month of ICOsahedral Non-hydrostatic development based on version 2.6.1 (ICON-D2) hindcasts with effective radii directly determined by the two-moment microphysics scheme of the model. In all cases, the mean absolute reflectance error achieved is about 0.01 or smaller, which is an order of magnitude smaller than typical differences between reflectance observations and corresponding model values. The errors related to the imperfect training of the neural networks present only a small contribution to the total error, and evaluating the networks takes less than a microsecond per column on standard CPUs. The method is also applicable for many other visible and near-infrared channels with weak water vapour sensitivity.
Isotopic variations in surface waters and groundwaters of an extremely arid basin and their responses to climate change

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Climate change accelerates the global water cycle. However, the relationships between climate change and hydrological processes in the alpine arid regions remain elusive. We sampled surface water and groundwater at high spatial and temporal resolutions to investigate these relationships in the Qaidam Basin, an extremely arid area in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. Stable H–O isotopes and radioactive 3H isotopes were combined with atmospheric simulations to examine hydrological processes and their response mechanisms to climate change. Contemporary climate processes and change dominate the spatial and temporal variations of surface water isotopes, specifically the westerlies moisture transport and the local temperature and precipitation regimes. The H–O isotopic compositions in the eastern Kunlun Mountains showed a gradually depleted eastward pattern, while a reverse pattern occurred in the Qilian Mountains water system. Precipitation contributed significantly more to river discharge in the eastern basin (approximately 45 %) than in the middle and western basins (10 %–15 %). Moreover, increasing precipitation and a shrinking cryosphere caused by current climate change have accelerated basin groundwater circulation. In the eastern and southwestern Qaidam Basin, precipitation and meltwater infiltrate along preferential flow paths, such as faults, volcanic channels, and fissures, permitting rapid seasonal groundwater recharge and enhanced terrestrial water storage. However, compensating for water loss due to long-term ice and snow melt will be a challenge under projected increasing precipitation in the southwestern Qaidam Basin, and the total water storage may show a trend of increasing before decreasing. Great uncertainty about water is a potential climate change risk facing the arid Qaidam Basin.
Short-term prediction of the significant wave height and average wave period based on the variational mode decomposition–temporal convolutional network–long short-term memory (VMD–TCN–LSTM) algorithm

Published: November 2023

Abstract. The present work proposes a prediction model of significant wave height (SWH) and average wave period (APD) based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), temporal convolutional networks (TCNs), and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. The wave sequence features were obtained using VMD technology based on the wave data from the National Data Buoy Center. Then the SWH and APD prediction models were established using TCNs, LSTM, and Bayesian hyperparameter optimization. The VMD–TCN–LSTM model was compared with the VMD–LSTM (without TCN cells) and LSTM (without VMD and TCN cells) models. The VMD–TCN–LSTM model has significant superiority and shows robustness and generality in different buoy prediction experiments. In the 3 h wave forecasts, VMD primarily improved the model performance, while the TCN had less of an influence. In the 12, 24, and 48 h wave forecasts, both VMD and TCNs improved the model performance. The contribution of the TCN to the improvement of the prediction result determination coefficient gradually increased as the forecasting length increased. In the 48 h SWH forecasts, the VMD and TCN improved the determination coefficient by 132.5 % and 36.8 %, respectively. In the 48 h APD forecasts, the VMD and TCN improved the determination coefficient by 119.7 % and 40.9 %, respectively.
Energetic and Cognitive Demands of Treading Water: Effects of Technique and Expertise
Authors: van Duijn Tina , Button Chris , Cotter James D. , Masters Rich S. W.
Published: November 2023

Being able to tread water effectively can improve the likelihood of survival following accidental immersion. People tread water in various ways, ranging from rudimentary ‘doggy-paddle’ to more elaborate techniques like the eggbeater, but little is known about the energetic and cognitive requirements of treading water. We therefore aimed to measure the demands of treading water techniques for people of different experience levels. Three cohorts, comprising 21 adult water treading experts (water polo players), 15 intermediate swimmers and 16 inexperienced swimmers, treaded water for 3 min each using four different techniques while cognitive and energetic economy measures were taken. For inexperienced swimmers, the flutter kick and breaststroke patterns produced the lowest self-reported physical and task load (rating of perceived exertion, NASA task load index), while cognitive (probe reaction time), cardiac (heart rate) and metabolic (oxygen consumption) load did not differ between techniques. In contrast, for expert water treaders, both breaststroke and eggbeater patterns produced lower cognitive, cardiac and metabolic loads. For intermediate swimmers, breaststroke resulted in the lowest cardiac and metabolic loads, as well as self-reported task load. Probe reaction time was highest while performing the eggbeater technique, indicating that this technique was challenging to coordinate and cognitively demanding. While the energetic demands of antiphase kicking patterns (such as eggbeater in experts or flutter kick in beginners) may be similarly low, the symmetric coordination of upright breaststroke may explain why this pattern’s cognitive economy was favourable for all groups. As the eggbeater can be challenging to perform for many people, an upright breaststroke technique is an adequate alternative to adopt in survival situations.
Cumhuriyet Devri Öncesinde ve Sonrasında Eğitim ve Öğretim Alanında Ülkemizde Yaşanan Gelişimlerin İncelenmesi

A special importance has been attributed to education in Turks since the earliest times. Since the earliest times, different educational methods have been tried using various methods and techniques. Under the reasons why such importance is given to education in Turks, it comes from the perception of education both as an individual and as a duty to one's own state in everyday life. According to the Turkish educational tradition, education starts in the family, continues at school and develops on the axis of the environment owned. Since the first Turks preferred a nomadic lifestyle in the period up to the Uighurs, trainings were generally carried out on horses, obas, tents. With the transition of the Uyghurs to a settled life, educational institutions were established in an architectural sense, a national alphabet was developed like the Göktürks, and literacy mobilization was carried out. Our people have committed their feelings and thoughts to obelisks. In the process after the Uyghurs, the madrasa method was adopted. This method was continued by the Ottoman State with its institutions and organizations in all aspects until the Tanzimat period, and it enabled the bureaucrats and statesmen of the Republic of Turkey, which will be established in the future, to grow up. It should be noted that with the Tanzimat era, schools and institutions providing a new style of education and training were opened in the country. In the educational model that Turkey inherited from the Ottoman Empire, there was a system that raised different individuals and applied different educational methods. The new education system, on the other hand, wanted to build an educational model of a national character. In order for the innovations to be made to have an impact on the public, all existing education systems had to be united under one roof. For this purpose, education and training activities were combined. One of the sharpest attempts made to bring the country to the level of contemporary states was made with the establishment of a new alphabet and the adoption of international numerals. After that, there are many developments and progress activities made in the field of education and training with a revolutionary character. The revolution of letters has definitely and irrevocably determined where the direction of the country will be. With the adoption of Latin letters instead of Arabic letters, which Turkish society has been using for a thousand years in general, new and different literacy-teaching schools and courses such as public houses, public schools and national schools have been opened, and a completely integrated and oriented education model has been developed for the West. Key Words: The Tanzimat Era, the Republican Era, Education and Training
Retrospective Clinico-pathological and Morphological Analysis of Appendicular Tumors on Appendectomy Specimens for Acute Appendicitis
Authors: Bendib Hani , Anou Abdelkrim
Published: November 2023

Background and Study Aims: Appendiceal Tumors are rare. Difficult to diagnose, these tumors are often accidentally discovered following acute appendicitis. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical, pathological and morphologic characteristics of these tumors in order to define an appropriate management. Patients and Methods: From a pathological database, all appendiceal tumors found on appendectomy specimens performed between January 2017 and July 2019 were retrospectively analysed. Results: Among the 1480 appendectomies performed, 15 cases of appendiceal tumors were collected (1.01%). The mean age was estimated at 44.7 ± 21.5 years (17-80). Pain in the right iliac fossa was present in all patients. Abdominal ultrasonography coupled with computed tomography (CT) scan led to the diagnosis of appendiceal tumors in 40% of cases (6/15). All patients underwent emergency surgery. An appendectomy was performed in 13 patients (86%). A mucinous tumor was found in 9 patients (60%). In 40% of the cases (6/15), it was a neuroendocrine tumor. Conclusion: Appendiceal tumors are often discovered incidentally on appendectomy specimens for acute appendicitis. They can be seen at any age and their diagnosis is not easy, even with the support of imaging. Ideally, the diagnosis of these tumors should be made preoperatively; this can change the surgical approach and avoid the need for additional surgery. All appendectomy specimens should be examined in histopathology.

Swelling of the Muscles of the Shoulder Girdle in a CT Scan is a Leading Finding for the Diagnosis of Polymyositis
Authors: Al-Ani Ali , Da’meh Sadeq , Da’meh Amin
Published: November 2023

Polymyositis (PM) is an uncommon inflammatory disease of unknown cause, but the disease shares many characteristics with autoimmune disorders. In the past, the diagnosis criteria for PM depended primarily on clinical features, blood enzyme levels, an electromyogram, and muscle biopsies. However, there are still imperfections in the diagnostic criteria of PM. The development of muscle imaging led to revisiting not only the PM diagnosis strategy but also the patients’ follow-up.
Teaching point: PM should be considered and included in the differential diagnosis of a patient with inflammatory signs and muscular pain, and the radiologist should be aware of its imaging features.
Integrating the US Caribbean Reef Fish Visual Census into fishery stock assessments
Authors: Ault Jerald S , Blondeau Jeremiah , Grove Laura Jay W , Cass-Calay Shannon L , McCarthy Kevin J
Published: November 2023

The United States Caribbean Reef Fish Visual Census (RVC) is a fishery-independent survey of the coral reef fish community, comprised of hundreds of species, designed to provide quantitative information for data-poor fisheries to support regional stock assessments. The Caribbean RVC,
implemented in 2014 as part of the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP), uses a probabilistic stratified random sampling design capitalizing on the strong mean-variance relationship of population abundance dependent on hardbottom habitats and depths. Here we highlight RVC data for
queen triggerfish in Puerto Rico, where survey precision improved from CVs of 20.6% in 2014 to 12.6% in 2021, which produced accurate and cost-effective estimates of key assessment metrics like size- structured relative population abundance and biomass. We estimated a relatively stable exploited-phase
average population abundance for 2014–2021 at 2.3 million queen triggerfish with a biomass of 1246 metric tons. To support stock assessments using "statistical catch at age" models, we generated a 2001–2021 time series of several population metrics by a statistical conversion of
spatially-restricted, pre- NCRMP data to the RVC frame. To cross-check assessment modeling, we combined 2014–2021 RVC results with life history demographics in an alternative length-based risk analysis (LBRA) model to evaluate stock sustainability consequences using two lifetime growth
scenarios. LBRA models indicated low overfishing risks. We concluded that only a few quality fishery-independent surveys are needed to obtain understanding of stock sustainability status, and that RVC not only provides reliable data for single-species stock assessments, but also for design
evaluation of marine protected areas and ecosystem-based fishery management.
Chemical Risk Assessment and Prevention Action Plan Related to Petroleum Production. Case Study of Laboratory and Storage Units in an Algerian Oil and Gas Company
Authors: Chettouh Samia , Arif Saleh
Published: November 2023

Chemical risk is considered one of the most frequent risks in the workplace, affecting the safety of workers continuously exposed to chemical substances. In addition, it can have an environmental impact and cause an explosion when unacceptable conditions are met. To know the effects of chemical risks and how to prevent them, this study is proposed, the main objective of which is the evaluation of chemical hazards and the proposal of an action plan to avoid this kind of risk in industrial companies. Our case study focused on the crude oil production company " PERTAMINA" using the SEIRICH software. The results indicate that most chemicals are hazardous and can cause serious harm to workers exposed to them periodically. Therefore, the proposed preventive action plan for safety improvement aims to ensure continuous development in oil and gas field production, processing, and distribution, taking into account the health and safety of workers.

All employed persons are obliged to spend some time in professional improvement. Somewhere it lasts a week, and elsewhere several weeks. Looking for educational perspectives requests thoughtful changes that have been occurring during the work as well as proper choice of the most convenient forms and methods of education. There are more and more analysts considering science and education to become crucial for contemporary corporation articulation. Having in mind some evaluations, even 60% of present jobs will disappear in a few years, and about 50% of employed personnel will be engaged in information. Accepting education as an activity shows very serious problem of making choices relating the correct form and method as well as optimal time for their implementation. Commonly, many resources offer positive opinion on all methods: oral teaching, presentation, role models, laboratory and practical work, texts, graphics, case studies, etc. Formulation of educational goals is what is relevant. A specific method, showing itself as the best for some case could be completely inadequate in others. Method should be determined by specific goals. All methods have some merits and dismerits and the way they could be applied depends on concrete circumstances and purposes.

El presente trabajo trata de demostrar que, en Sudamérica, aún existe una fuerte tendencia hacia el irredentismo que se expresa a través de la interpretación de mapas. Dicha tendencia, por supuesto, es propiciada por muchos de los Estados de la región en cuestión en mayor o menor medida, por lo cual, muchas de las reclamaciones que los Estados sudamericanos se hacen entre sí son generalmente contradictorias. Lo que se pretende aquí es enumerar dichas pretensiones territoriales, a través de un ojo un poco más imparcial, y demostrar que estas, sobre todo gracias a herramientas como el internet y las redes sociales, siguen más que vivas.
Are Placer Platinum Nuggets Formed During Lateritization? The Verdict from the Owendale Alaskan-Uralian Complex in Australia Is an Emphatic No!
Authors: Ma Bocheng , Keays Reid R.
Published: November 2023

The thick laterite developed over platinum group element (PGE)-bearing ultramafic rocks of the Owendale Alaskan-Uralian Complex in New South Wales, Australia, provides an ideal environment in which to address the question of whether Pt-Fe nuggets are formed during lateritization. This is an important issue to settle because Pt-Fe nuggets in alluvial placers and eluvial deposits associated with the Alaskan-Uralian complexes were the world’s major source of Pt prior to the commencement of Pt production from the Bushveld Complex and continue to produce a significant amount of Pt. Some of the Owendale laterites have high Pt but low Cu contents, while others have both high Pt and high Cu contents. Heavy mineral concentrates were prepared from about 1 kg of drill chips from both types of laterites. Only five of the 61 samples processed contained any platinum group minerals (PGMs) greater than 5 μm in size, even though many of the samples contained more than 1 g/t Pt. The largest PGM found was about 100 μm long, and the majority were <20 μm. The bulk of the PGMs recovered were zoned PGMs consisting of a core of isoferroplatinum mantled by tetraferroplatinum with an outer rim of tulameenite; many of these zoned PGMs are encased in hematite grains that often have high Pt contents and appear to be pseudomorphs after the PGMs. The textural evidence indicates that at least half of the primary PGMs in the ultramafic protoliths to the laterites were destroyed during weathering and that the liberated PGEs could have been available for the formation of PGM nuggets. However, despite the large amount of PGEs liberated during the destruction of the primary PGMs, no evidence was found for the neogenic growth of PGE nuggets. Rather, the Pt liberated during the destruction of the PGMs appears to have only traveled distances of micrometers to tens of centimeters to form Pt nanoparticles or Pt oxides or to be absorbed/adsorbed by the Fe oxide hosts.

Este artigo apresenta como objetivo o estabelecimento de um diálogo entre professores que atuam na formação de professores, seja ela inicial ou continuada, sobre seus modos de subjetivação e constituição de identidade. A subjetividade tem sido foco de discussão de diversas áreas do saber que se ocupam em investigá-la sob vários prismas, inclusive, promovendo noções bem distintas acerca de como tratá-la ou vê-la. Recorrendo ao método cartográfico, propomos um diálogo acerca do processo de tornar-se sujeito professor a partir da formação de outros sujeitos docentes. Percebeu-se que a relação com o O(o)utro vai compondo identidades, passando do si sobre si, do outro em mim, de mim no outro e de nós no mundo. Isso influencia na (e é influenciado pela) formação dos sujeitos envolvidos, na constituição de suas identidades e na preocupação que todos constroem sobre o (seu) mundo, mais especificamente, da educação. Nota-se como a percepção acerca da construção identitária e dos modos de subjetivação são importantes para as pesquisas sobre formação de professores, tendo em vista que tais processos fazem parte da dinâmica psicossocial que perpassa o entendimento acerca do ato de (re)conhecer-se docente.
“The Heart Has Its Reasons”
Authors: Fair John D.
Published: November 2023

At age thirty-eight, Colorado professor Conrad Cotter, who led a sedentary lifestyle, suffered two heart attacks. Despite his family history of heart disease, he recuperated by quitting smoking, reducing his weight, relocating to a sea-level city, and exercising regularly. Curiously, he adopted powerlifting, an activity suspected of unduly straining the heart, for rehabilitation. After participating in it for a decade, he was not only stronger and breaking numerous age-group records but seemingly healthier. Cotter's fortunes changed when he retired from competition in the early 1980s, assumed stressful administrative responsibilities, and returned to a sedentary lifestyle. Confronted with multiple major crises stemming from his role as president of the United States Powerlifting Federation, including its break-up into several federations, a ruinous lawsuit, and finally loss of his livelihood, Cotter seemed ill-prepared to cope with them. It was mainly stress that led to his demise from a heart attack in 1990 at sixty-two.

Published: November 2023

CIPHER: Hip Hop Interpellation is a global hip hop knowledge mapping project using ethnographic, digital, and arts practice research methods to better understand the emergences and flows of the culture's deeply local yet immanently global intertextualities. In this collaborative article, we network and develop ideas from six of CIPHER's global hip hop researchers, elaborating the project in method as well as theory. In so doing, we model our community-engaged CIPHER method of tracking thematic, conceptual, and archetypal relationships, presenting preliminary findings in four interrelated case studies: examples of hip hop knowledge transfer that evidence hip hop's generative glocal dialogue.
“The New Superstition, the New Tyranny”: The Ethics and Contexts of John Cowper Powys's Antivivisection
Authors: Taylor Felix
Published: November 2023

This article examines the antivivisectionist writings of British novelist and philosopher John Cowper Powys (1872–1963) during the 1930s and 1940s. Powys's opposition to the widespread practice of animal experimentation, both in his fiction and his contributions to activist newspapers, has been noted by critics to have prefigured the modern animal rights movement. On the surface, his writings on the subject display an unnuanced and impassioned outrage, yet on closer inspection, they form a logical piece of Powys's idiosyncratic worldview and to some extent reflect the arguments of “new age” antivivisection campaigns of his time.

Authors: Fu Zhengshu
Published: November 2023

The outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic not only highlights the solid foundation of China's digital economy, but also counterforces and accelerates its further development, which provides a potential opportunity for China's economic transformation and upgrading in the next stage. This paper uses the contribution decomposition model, examines the development level and growth sources of Chinas digital inclusive finance from three dimensions: the coverage, the using depth and the digitalization degree. The research shows that from 2011 to 2020, the overall level and each dimension indexes of digital inclusive finance development show a leap-forward development, but the problem of insufficient and imbalance of regional financial development is still quite obvious. The results of contribution decomposition show that, taking 2016 as the boundary, the growth source of digital inclusive finance index in the former stage lies in the coverage, and the latter stage mainly depends on the coverage and using depth of digital finance, while the emphasis on the digitalization degree of digital finance is relatively insufficient. Under the background of the complex situation and severe challenges in the post-epidemic era, efforts should be made in the top-level design and elements support, aiming at the regional and dimensional shortcomings, so as to make positive contributions to the high-quality development of China's economy.
Private Equity Industry and Funding Instrument Analysis in the Post-Covid-19 Pandemic Era
Authors: Yu Jiayu
Published: November 2023

A rising number of academic papers have analyzed the negative impacts of the COVID-19 epidemic on the financial markets. However, the thorough research of the pandemic's effects on financial markets and lifestyle changes remains relatively unexplored. Based on research and data from the world's major economies, including Europe and North America, this paper empirically analyses, forecasts, and assesses the worldwide private equity business and its prevalent financing techniques, as well as emerging financing methods. Due to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the results indicate that some leveraged or stable companies have favorable medium-term prospects, but the long-term impact may be little. In addition, the pandemic has altered the way people live in certain regions and accelerated the growth of certain sectors, such as online education and artificial intelligence. The author also concludes that, despite the fact that the new finance methods may partially replace the traditional ones, their inadequacies are revealed.

Authors: Peidong Li
Published: November 2023

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 in 2020, global economic growth and public health have been greatly impacted. On the one hand, the epidemic has disrupted global supply chains, affecting the economic stability of various countries, and increased the vulnerability of the global economy. On the other hand, the epidemic has exposed the rapid spread of epidemic diseases around the world by globalization, which has become a systemic risk.As one of the best solutions to prevent the spread of large-scale diseases in the greatest public range in the history of human medical development, vaccines have become the key to whether humans can defeat the COVID-19 as soon as possible. This paper shows the changes in the vaccinated population of less developed countries after the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccine exemption by establishing a mathematical model, and proposes that less developed countries should adjust their policies to help the vaccine exemption to vaccinate more people in their own countries according to existing international rules.

Authors: Yu Cong
Published: November 2023

Real estate taxes, as a type of tax instrument, assume the role of providing local revenue and regulating the real estate market in many countries. Out of the stimulating effect of consumption on the economy, scholars studied the impact of real estate taxes on consumption. This paper constructs a model of housing consumption expenditure applying Keynes' absolute income hypothesis. Using data from Japan, the UK and the US Office of National Statistics, an empirical study is conducted through OLS regressions, fixed effects models and random effects models. The results show that real estate taxes are negatively related to residential housing consumption expenditure and that the imposition of real estate taxes significantly reduces residential housing consumption.
