Vajdasági Gazdaságfejlesztési Program előzményei, megvalósulása és eredményei
Authors: Juhász Bálint
Published: October 2020

Gazdaságfejlesztés alatt olyan tudatos beavatkozást értünk, amely gazdasági folyamatok irányát, gazdasági változások mértékét hivatott befolyásolni. Magyarország kormánya 2016-ban a külhoni nemzetrészek megmaradását szolgáló gazdaságfejlesztési programot indított a Kárpát-medencében. A Vajdasági Gazdaságfejlesztési Program jelenleg Magyarország legnagyobb határon túli gazdaságfejlesztési programja, amely úttörő a külhoni gazdaságfejlesztési programok megvalósítása terén, mintaként szolgál a hasonló külhoni programok megvalósításához.
Álláskeresők támogatott felnőttképzésében résztvevők vizsgálata Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén megyei helyszíneken
Authors: Hajdú Dávid , Koncz Gábor
Published: October 2020

Az emberi erőforrások fokozódó jelentősége miatt az egész életen át tartó tanuláskoncepciójának megvalósítása nélkül nem beszélhetünk versenyképes tudásalapú társadalomról. A felnőttképzésnek a időről-időre megújuló, versenyképes munkaerő biztosításán túl fontos szerepe van a munkaerőpiacról kiszorult potenciális munkavállalók integrálásában. A felnőttképzésbe beiratkozottak száma alapján Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén megye Magyarországon a második helyet foglalja el Budapestet követően. A megye hátrányos helyzetű járásaiban, településein átlag feletti azoknak a felzárkóztató képzéseknek a részaránya, amelyek az alacsonyan képzett, munkaerőpiacról kiszorult társadalmi csoportokat szólítanak meg. Kérdőíves vizsgálatunkat az ő körükben végeztük el, feltárva általános szociális helyzetüket, valamint az oktatással és munkavállalással kapcsolatos attitűdjüket.
The main traits of the Hungaro-Taiwanese economic relations with special focus on the trade with agricultural products
Authors: Neszmélyi György Iván
Published: October 2020

This paper provides the reader with a thorough insight into the bilateral economic relationship between Hungary and Taiwan. Due to the One-China policy Hungary – and most countries in the world – do not have formal diplomatic or political contacts with Taiwan, however Taiwan as an autonomous economic entity seems to be a promising partner for Hungary and other European countries, even though due to the huge geographic distance and to the relative less-known market environment the amounts of trade turnover and investments have still been modest. Taiwan, due to its natural and social endowments cannot produce enough food for its population, therefore it is merely reliant on imports. Due to the mentioned distance and being closely embedded into the European economic integration, Hungary definitely cannot be among the main food suppliers of Taiwan, but still there are market segments (like chilled poultry) in which Hungarian companies can be successful, if they focus not only on the product quality but also on the marketing promotion. The paper makes mention about some additional ideas of joint co-operation in the food production, like potentials in Mangalica breeding, as it has also started in Taiwan a few years ago.

Published: October 2020

This paper addresses an important literature gap concerning female entrepreneurship within rural communities in North Africa, particularly in Tunisia. This article is an overview of previous findings on the topic and specifically on the matter of environmental settings’ impacts on women’s efforts in rural entrepreneurship. The purpose of this overview is to provide a clearer picture on the situation of female entrepreneurship in rural areas, and the various obstacles that help explain both the work patterns and the home conditioning model. These obstacles include personal aspects as well as economic and demographic elements which may help in the development of assessment tools that aims to provide a more detailed approach to this subject. The exploration of these elements helps with the investigation of the impact of government support policies as well as the social and cultural effects on female entrepreneurship in the Tunisian countryside.
Mi lehet a háttérben? (Van valami a háttérben?)

Published: October 2020

Robert Gilpin a Nemzetközi Gazdasági Rend Értelmezése című könyvében olvasottak alap-ján, valamint a könyv Németországgal foglalkozó részben talán nem valósan követhető nyomon az Egyesült Államok és Németország az elmúlt 100 évben tanúsított, pénzügyi, gazdasági és politikai viselkedése. Ugyan igazán átfogó leírás, de a mélyebb szemlélődés eredményként érdemes más szemszögből megvizsgálni a kérdéskört. A könyvben többször említett “trösztellenesség” és a mindent előtérbe helyező szabadpiaci verseny nem kímélte saját társadalmunkat vagy a más országokhoz, legyen az szövetséges vagy az ellenérdekelt félhez fűződő viszonyukat (Gilpin, 2004). A tankönyvekben felhasznált kötelező irodalom számos alkalommal hangsúlyozza, hogy a gazdaságpolitika és a közgazdaságtan egymást kiegészítő, egymástól elválaszthatatlan szerves társadalomtudományi egység, csak együtt értelmezhető. Tanulmányunk számos példán és történelmi tényen keresztül szeretné bemu-tatni, hogy az elmélet és számos szerző által gondolati síkon megfogalmazott tételek sok-szor nagyon messze állhatnak a valóságtól. Gilpin Professzor Úr kitűnő könyvét élvezet volt olvasni, sajnálatos módon már nem tudunk vitába szállni a szerzővel, mivel Robert Gilpin 2018 nyarán elhunyt.
Veresegyház és Erdőkertes agglomerációs problémái és megoldási javaslatuk
Authors: Balogh Géza Attila , Péli László , Ritter Krisztián
Published: October 2020

A dolgozatban Veresegyház város és Erdőkertes község helyzetét vizsgáljuk atekintetben, hogy az utóbbi években, évtizedekben végbement fejlődés és népességnövekedés milyen hatásokat, problémákat okozott illetve hozott felszínre. Ezt kérdőív segítségével vizsgáltuk, melyet több, mint 800 fő töltött ki. A kérdések segítségével felmértük a lakosság közlekedésről, közszolgáltatásokról, üzletekről, szórakoztató-kulturális életről alkotott véleményét, megtudtuk, milyen problémákkal szembesülnek a mindennapi életben, illetve hogy ezeket a problémákat milyen lehetőségekkel orvosolnák helyi, illetve térségi szinten. A válaszokból kiderült, hogy a közlekedés mindkét településen sarkalatos pont: Veresegyházon a sűrűn előforduló torlódások, Erdőkertesen pedig az aszfaltozatlan mellékutak okozzák a fő problémát. Ezen felül Veresegyházon a zsúfolt oktatási intézmények, míg Erdőkertesen a szűkös vásárlási lehetőségek emelkedtek ki a leadott válaszokból. Helyi fejlesztések terén a veresegyháziak az utakon túl az egészségügyet priorizálják. Az erdőkertesiek a közlekedésen túlmenően a bölcsődekérdést, a közbiztonságot, a vállalkozók megtelepedését és új üzletek nyitását tartják fontosnak. Térségi fejlesztések tekintetében mindkét településen az elkerülő út megépítése és a Misszió bővítése fogalmazódik meg elsődleges igényként. Kérdés ugyanakkor, hogy az elkerülő út képes lesz-e tényleges forgalomcsillapításra, vagy a Misszió bővítése, belső fejlesztése releváns-e. Véleményünk szerint távlati kitekintésben érdemes lesz figyelni a települések további növekedését, azok népességmegtartó képességét, valamint a később esetlegesen jelentkező dezurbanizációs folyamatokat.

Published: October 2020

Csíkszenttamás demográfiai helyzetét a 2019-es nyári falukutató tábor keretében vizsgáltuk. A táborban a község helyi társadalmát, gazdasági lehetőségeit térképeztük fel, az eredményeket bemutattuk a falu lakóinak, és egy kötet formájában a szélesebb nyilvánosság számára is elérhetővé tettük. A csíkszenttamási falukutató tábor megvalósítását több mint egyéves felkészülés előzte meg. A szakirodalom áttekintése és a felkészülés az előkészítő megbeszélés után elkezdődött. A táborban részt vevő diákok és kutatók a kutatási helyszínhez kapcsolódó prezentációkat készítettek, amelyeket a felkészüléshez ugyancsak felhasználtunk. A táborban az egyetemi oktatók, kutatók a hallgatókkal és a gimnáziumi tanulókkal együtt kérdőíves felmérést, interjúzást, statisztikai adatgyűjtést végeztek. A tanulmány Csíkszenttamás népesedési viszonyai között érinti a népesség változását, korszerkezetét, etnikai megoszlását, iskolázottságát, házasodási szokásait valamint a helyi identitás kérdését is.
A területi turizmusfejlesztés lehetőségei Csíkdánfalván

Published: October 2020

Jelen kéziratban a székelyföldi Csíkdánfalva település turizmusfejlesztési lehetőségeit vizsgáljuk a község gazdaságfejlesztési potenciálján, illetve az elérhető eszközrendszerén keresztül. A tanulmány eredményeit egy egészen friss kutatás adja, melyet 2020 első negyedévében fejeztünk be. A kutatás alapvető célja volt, hogy komplex képet rajzoljon a székely Csíkdánfalva település jelenlegi turisztikai potenciájáról, illetve azok helyzetéről a jövőbeni fejlesztési lehetőségek tükrében. Véleményünk szerint a téma aktualitását, illetve egyben időszerűségét is adja, hogy a Covid-19 pandémia előtti időszakban, 2019-ben 4 százalékkal nőtt a turizmus világszerte az előző évhez képest, amely feltehetően negatív irányba mozdul a közeljövőben. A legfrissebb romániai adatok szerint összesen 13,268 milliót tett ki 2019. január 1-je és december 31-e között a romániai kereskedelmi szálláshelyekre érkezett turisták száma, ami 3,6 százalékos növekedést jelent az előző évhez viszonyítva (INS, 2020). Mindemellett a 2014-2020-as programozási periódusban az Európai Unió kiemelt prioritásként kezeli a vidékfejlesztést, éppen ezért számos pályázati forrás áll rendelkezésre a székelyföldi települések gyógy-turizmusának fejlesztésére, különös tekintettel a borvízforrásokban rejlő lehetőségekre. A turizmusfejlesztés direkt és indirekt módon is hatással van a település népességmegtartó erejének pozitív irányba való mozdítására.
Geochemical features of the organic matter from Jurassic sediments of the Nadym‑Taz interfluve
Authors: Borisova Lyubov S. , Fomin Alexander N. , Yaroslavtseva Ekaterina S.
Published: October 2020

This paper deals with the evaluation of oil-generation potential derived from the geochemical data on deep-buried Jurassic sedimentary rocks of the Nadym-Taz interfluve being part of the West Siberian petroleum basin (PB). The study provides analysis of samples from ultra-deep and deep wells that penetrated the Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary cover in the north of the central part of PB (En-Yakhinsky, Evo-Yakhinsky, Yarudeysky, Tyumensky areas, etc.). The research focuses on the insoluble organic matter (OM) from Upper, Middle and Lower Jurassic sediments (54 samples).
A comprehensive study of the kerogen by elemental, isotope analyses and pyrolysis Rock-Eval allowed obtaining the data critical for determining the genetic type of OM, its thermal maturity and residual petroleum generating potential. Using the Surfer and Corel Draw software, schematic maps and diagrams of variations in the most informative (i.e. area-specific and depth-dependent) geochemical parameters of the kerogen on the studied area and also down the section (from the Upper to the Lower Jurassic) were constructed and analyzed. The obtained geochemical data indicate that in the Jurassic sediments of the Nadym-Tazovsky interfluve, the highest OM generation potential is found in the Bazhenov horizon, as well as in individual members of the Malyshevsky, Leontievsky, Sharapovsky and Kiterbyutsky horizons. Based upon the level of OM maturity in the Upper and Middle Jurassic sediments, deposits of mainly oil and fat gases could be preserved, and in the Lower Jurassic – deposits of fat and dry gases.
A new method of «geochemical logging» for studying Domanic deposits
Authors: Ostroukhov Sergey B. , Pronin Nikita V. , Plotnikova Irina N. , Khairtdinov Ruslan K.
Published: October 2020

Based on the study of the rocks of the Semiluksky horizon from ​​the northwestern slope of the South Tatar arch (Tatarstan Republic), new data on the ratio of scattered organic matter, carbonate and siliceous components in domanicite rocks were obtained. Based on the results of geochemical studies of the bitumoids of these rocks, new information was obtained on the distribution patterns of aromatic biomarkers in rocks of various lithological composition. Peculiarities of distribution of paleonyerathan and isorenierathan in such rocks are revealed. Due to the use of aromatic biomarkers, a number of new geochemical coefficients have been developed, which make it possible to characterize not only Domanic strata along the sediment section, but also the processes of their transformation, starting from the stage of biota formation. The substantiation of the use of these geochemical coefficients when carrying out geochemical logging along the well column to establish the boundaries of the Domanic strata formation and productive intervals in them, as well as to assess the facies conditions of their formation, is given. At the same time, the patterns established by these coefficients correlate well with other geochemical and geological parameters. The studies performed have shown that at least two types of organic matter are present in the domanicite sequence: migrational, more mature and thermocatalytically transformed, and syngenetic, less mature with a low degree of thermocatalytic transformation. The application of the developed geochemical coefficients determines a new approach to the use of «geochemical logging» in the complex of express logging while drilling. When studying cuttings, these coefficients make it possible to identify reservoir intervals, zones of fracturing and decompression, containing traces of migrational hydrocarbon fluids, moved hydrocarbons, which may indicate the presence of oil deposits. The integration of geochemical studies of cuttings with its rapid study by pyrolysis and X-ray analysis methods can significantly increase the accuracy of identifying interlayers with a high content of organic matter in the section of domanicite rocks, as well as potential reservoirs with moved migrational hydrocarbons.

Published: October 2020

The problem of turnover intentions has continued to draw the interest of researchers, HR practitioners and employers. However the moderating role of community embeddedness in the relationship between Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and turnover intentions has received little attention. The study thus sought to investigate the moderating effect of community embeddedness in the relationship between HRM practices and turnover intention of teachers in public secondary schools in Murangâ€™a county Kenya. The study was guided by the Social Exchange, Theory (SET) and Job Embeddedness Theory. The target population was 3752 Teachers Service Commission (TSC) teachers in 304 public secondary schools in Murangâ€™a county Kenya. The study used multi stage random and purposive sampling methods to select a sample size of 400 teachers. A self-administered semistructured questionnaire was used to collect data. The quantitative data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study indicated that community embeddedness moderates the relationship between HRM Practices and turnover intentions of teachers in public secondary schools in Murangâ€™a county Kenya. The study thus concluded that community embeddedness plays an important role in turnover intentions decision of teachers.
Transgenerational Successionâ€™ Effects on Financial Performance of Listed Family Firms in the Arab Countries
Authors: Allioui Azzeddine , Habba Badr , Azizi Taib Berrada El
Published: October 2020

The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of succession events on the level and determinants of the financial performance of family businesses in the Arab world. This research is conducted through an empirical study on a sample of 166 family businesses in the Arab world. Firstly, the paper compares the financial performance of family businesses that continue to be managed by the founders with family businesses in which the management has been transferred to the successors. Secondly, this research identifies the determinants of the financial performance of the two categories through a multifactorial model based on the panel data method. The results revealed that succession negatively impacts the seizing of opportunities and growth in the market in the context of family businesses in the Arab region. Moreover, the paper clarifies the prudent policy that characterizes the transmitted family businesses, through the accumulation of resources and underinvestment. In this sense, this research provides evidence that family wealth and business affairs are interrelated in the tradition of clientelism, which is reflected in Arab countries by the transmission of family businesses to family successors. In other words, succession to inheritors is inevitable in the Arab context, and family businesses may show contradictory performances and stagnate, compared to first-generation family businesses.
A Review of Bank Liquidations and Consolidations in Nigerian Banks
Authors: Tayo-Tiwo Aderonke
Published: October 2020

Since the emergence of banks in Nigeria in 1892, the Nigerian Banking sector has undergone a restructuring series. Before the 2006 banking consolidation exercise, many banks have gone under primarily due to poor management and inadequate financial reporting. The consolidation of banks in 2006 became necessary to forestall the sector's systemic collapse since many of the banks were distressed and unable to meet their customers' expectations. This qualitative review of the Nigerian banks focused on what transpired in the sector from 2006 to date. Archival and content analysis methods were used in the data collection and analysis process mainly because some banks have been liquidated while others have been merged or acquired by other banks. Findings revealed that some banks that survived the post-2006 consolidation exercise had been liquidated; some have merged with others while the banks are still operating as standalone. The CBN has introduced the bridge banks' concept to acquire and manage distressed banks pending new buyers' time. The amended code of corporate governance of 2016 has drastically improved the CBN's regulatory and monitoring activities. Accordingly, the CBN is better equipped. Lasting measures are in place to forestall any unanticipated disruptions in the Nigerian banking sector.
Revenue Management: Automation, Challenges, & Legal Perspectives of County Governments in Kenya
Authors: Mandala Nebert Ombajo , Odhiambo Victor , Wanga Carlton Hussein
Published: October 2020

In todayâ€™s competitive and fast-paced business landscape, getting the most out of every available resource is not an option but rather a requirement. Organizations are taking a highly proactive approach to systems modernization and operations in an effort to increase efficiency and effectiveness in their operations. There is an increasing need by governments to enhance revenue collection through taxes to meet the ever-increasing financial expenditures budgeted by countries. It has been noted that most of the county governments were not meeting their own targets for own-source revenue and over time this has been reducing. This paper aims to establish the status of automation of revenue collection by county governments in Kenya, document the legal framework, establish the challenges of revenue collection and management, and also sought to determine whether there exists an optimal revenue automation model that can be adopted for the purpose of optimizing performance. The design of this research was done using a descriptive survey. The population for this study was composed of 47 county governments. Stratified proportionate random sampling technique was used to select the sample of 24 counties spread across the entire country. The study used a semistructured self-administered questionnaire to collect data from the respondents. The study established that the counties face a myriad of challenges including weak revenue bases, lack internal audits, have poorly trained personnel, use partially automated revenue collection systems, poor infrastructure, and some county revenue officers are reluctant to embrace change. This, however, has a negative impact on revenue collection within the counties. The results further show that adherence by counties to the provided guidelines, training, and technical assistance was widely varied and disparate. This ranged from counties that did very little to nothing in enabling and enhancing their OSR, to those that partially and/or conveniently followed guidelines where it suited them, to those that made honest efforts to comply.A model of a good automated system is also presented. The study recommends that counties should fully automate their revenue management to enhance efficiency and service delivery to their citizens.
Roxane Gayâ€™s Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body: A Fat Studies Approach
Authors: Rayhan Md Tapu , Jannat Nure , Rahman Maruf
Published: October 2020

There is much scholarly research about the impact of popular culture messages regarding fatness on people, but there is limited study on peopleâ€™s attitudes to those fat-shaming messages. Roxane Gayâ€™s Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body is a memoir of her own body, traumatic journey, and fatness. This article looks through this memoir to find out Roxane Gayâ€™s attitude towards these messages in showing how people accept, react, and subvert these messages. This study will present this memoir as a manifestation of the prevailing negative representations of fat people in popular culture and how Gay, before and after being fat, responds to those fat-shaming messages produced by popular culture. This article, under the umbrella of Fat Studies, will discuss how Gay, because of her fatness, has been treated as other and marginalized in popular culture and how she presents herself as a proponent of Fat Studies. This research, discussing Gay's attitude to popular culture messages regarding fatness, willshow how Gay, through this memoir, protests against fat-shaming messages and how she becomes the voice of every fat person.
Gestion des Dechets Menagers dans les Communes dâ€™adjame et de Bingerville dans le District Autonome dâ€™Abidjan, Cote dâ€™Ivoire

Dans le district dâ€™Abidjan, la quantitÃ© de dÃ©chets mÃ©nagers a connu au cours des derniÃ¨res dÃ©cennies un accroissement rapide en raison de lâ€™urbanisation accÃ©lÃ©rÃ©e qui le caractÃ©rise. Dans ses diffÃ©rentes communes notamment celles dâ€™AdjamÃ© et de Bingerville, on constate la prÃ©sence dâ€™ordures mÃ©nagers dans les caniveaux, aux abords des routes et sur les voies publiques. Ce phÃ©nomÃ¨ne dÃ» Ã  la mauvaise gestion des dÃ©chets mÃ©nagers, provoque des odeurs nausÃ©abondes et la prolifÃ©ration des risques sanitaires. La prÃ©sente Ã©tude a pour objectif dâ€™identifier les facteurs explicatifs de la persistance des pratiques Ã  risques des mÃ©nages. Dans une perspective beaucoup plus qualitative, lâ€™Ã©tude documentaire, lâ€™observation directe et un questionnaire semi-ouvert ont Ã©tÃ© mobilisÃ©s pour obtenir les donnÃ©es. Lâ€™interprÃ©tation de nos rÃ©sultats a Ã©tÃ© basÃ©e sur la thÃ©orie structuralismeconstructiviste de Pierre Bourdieu et la thÃ©orie sociologique du risque dâ€™Ulrich Beck. De lâ€™analyse des rÃ©sultats obtenus, il ressort que les mÃ©nages utilisent les dÃ©chets comme matÃ©riel utile Ã  leur environnement. Par ailleurs, ils estiment que les risques sanitaires liÃ©s Ã  la gestion des dÃ©chets mÃ©nagers, sont non mortels et ont une perception socio-culturelle des maladies causÃ©es par cette derniÃ¨re.
In the district of Abidjan, the quantity of household waste has experienced a rapid increase in recent decades due to the accelerated urbanization that characterizes it. In its various municipalities, especially those of AdjamÃ© and Bingerville, there is the presence of household garbage in the gutters, along roads and on public roads. This phenomenon, due to the poor management of household waste, causes foul odors and the proliferation of health risks. The objective of this study is to identify the explanatory factors for the persistence of risky household practices. From a much more qualitative perspective, the documentary study, direct observation and a semi-open questionnaire were used to obtain the data. The interpretation of our results was based on the structuralism-constructivist theory of Pierre Bourdieu and the sociological theory of risk of Ulrich Beck. From the analysis of the results obtained, it emerges that households use waste as material useful for their environment. In addition, they believe that the health risks associated with the management of household waste are non-fatal and have a socio-cultural perception of the diseases caused by the latter.

An oceanographic survey was carried out in the Nador lagoon located on the Moroccan Mediterranean coast, in July 2012. The objective is to study the hydrological and sedimentary state of the lagoon after the establishment of the new pass, in 2011. The distribution of the physicochemical parameters of the environment allowed the identification of a spatial variability in relation to the general circulation in the lagoon and the presence of the treatment station on the continental shore. The sedimentary state also shows the intensity of the sea-lagoon exchange which is elevated in the center compared to the NO and SE extremities. Thus, maintaining the environmental balance of this ecosystem depends on the degree of sea-lagoon exchange and the control of the impact of anthropogenic activities.

Verbal art as heuristic for semantic analyses
Authors: Coler Matt , Guyot Patrice , Banegas-Flores Edwin
Published: October 2020

Aymara is an Amerindian language spoken mainly in Peru and Bolivia. To date, relatively little is documented about Aymara verbal art. Accordingly, we analyze a traditional song recorded in the Peruvian highlands. We provide a musical and linguistic analysis of the non-prosodic poetic song structure. We detail the octosyllabic, homeoteleutonic strategies for line formation, the melodic and rhythmic characteristics, and outline the syntactic, morphological, and semantic strategies used in forming semantic couplets. This reveals semantic categories which would not be apparent in a traditional linguistic analysis. Furthermore, the musical analysis confirms previous works on the misperception of a musical anacrusis. We conclude that rigorous, scientific analyses of verbal art require consideration of the construction of meaning through practice and dialog.

O livro Massa Crítica: Unicamp e a origem do polo de tecnologia de Campinas, da autoria de Guilherme Gorgulho, ultrapassa o interesse localista e institucional, extravasando a sua análise para a criação e consolidação do sistema de ciência e tecnologia no Brasil. O autor coloca no centro a história do desenvolvimento deste polo científico e tecnológico, mas vai estabelecendo as relações desta entidade com a comunidade científica envolvente, as políticas públicas de cada época e o contexto internacional que sempre condicionou as orientações internas relativas a esta área.
Las dimensiones de la pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: Laurell Asa Cristina
Published: October 2020

Este artículo hace una reflexión multidimensional sobre la pandemia de la Covid-19. Sostiene que el acercamiento analítico dominante a la enfermedad es médico y epidemiológico, lo que conduce a subestimar sus determinantes e impactos socioeconómicos y políticos. Asimismo, afirma que el conocimiento científico sobre la Covid-19 todavía es escaso y contradictorio, lo que dificulta el razonamiento. Analiza inicialmente la magnitud del problema en comparación con otras causas de muerte en México y examina cómo diferentes condiciones sociales y económicas parecen cruciales para explicar la frecuencia y la severidad de la enfermedad. Explora la actuación del complejo médico industrial, referida a la producción de vacunas, medicamentos, equipo médico y otros insumos, y detecta dos conductas divergentes: una altamente especulativa, incluyendo la financiera, y otra que actualmente ha prometido no sacar una ganancia. Finalmente, se adelantan algunas consideraciones sobre la manera en que el virus está cambiando los procesos políticos.

En memoria de Kalecki: estudios sobre la economía de los Estados Unidos
Authors: López G. Julio
Published: October 2020

Michał Kalecki escribió un artículo sobre el gasto público financiado por impuestos sobre las ganancias, el cual incentivó un interesante debate entre él y Keynes; éste último fue el editor de la revista en que el artículo se publicó. Más tarde, en los años cincuenta, Kalecki realizó algunos estudios empíricos para alimentar su teoría. Dos de éstos trataban sobre la economía de los Estados Unidos, y en ellos adoptó un nuevo método de análisis. Sin embargo, su metodología no tuvo el impacto que merecía, incluso entre sus seguidores. Este artículo retoma el análisis de Kalecki con el fin de comprender la evolución reciente de la economía estadunidense.

Ante la actual pandemia de Covid-19, este artículo analiza el cambio de postura de diversos gobiernos en todo el mundo respecto de sus regímenes económicos neoliberales y privatizadores, que limitan el papel del Estado, lo cual ha derivado en la actualidad en consecuencias desastrosas en el enfrentamiento de la enfermedad. Ahora, con la necesidad inminente de detener la pandemia y superar la crisis, hasta los más férreos seguidores del neoliberalismo se han dado cuenta de la necesidad de aumentar el gasto público y de que sea el Estado el que tome las riendas de la salud pública universal y la recuperación económica.

The epidemic transmission of Zika virus (ZIKV) in Brazil has been identified as a cause of microcephaly and other neurological malformations in babies of ZIKV-infected women. This study provides a descriptive analysis, since the onset of symptoms to the delivery, of a cohort who were registered as having ZIKV infection in pregnancy, from November 2015 to December 2016. Suspected cases were registered at a referral center for infectious and tropical diseases in Manaus, in the Brazilian Amazonian region. A total of 834 women with suspected ZIKV in pregnancy were included, of whom 91.4% had confirmed pregnancy. Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed ZIKV infection in 42.2% of the cohort. In 35.2% of the cohort, ZIKV was the sole infection identified. Severe adverse pregnancy outcomes (abortion, stillbirth, or microcephaly) were observed in both RT-PCR ZIKV-positive (4.96%) and ZIKV-negative (2.15%) cases. Women with suspected ZIKV infection were much more likely to have adverse pregnancy outcomes if they were symptomatic during the first trimester of pregnancy (odds ratio 10.5; 95% confidence interval 4.0–27.0; p<0.001). Among pregnant women with suspected ZIKV infection, the occurrence of symptoms in the first trimester is associated with an especially high risk of severe adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Background and objectives: Refractory ascites markedly worsens prognosis in cirrhosis. Large volume paracentesis (LVP) is standard treatment, but complications are common. In a randomized controlled case-series, we assessed a permanent tunneled peritoneal catheter versus LVP in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. Materials and Methods: Random allocation was computer-generated, and concealment used opaque envelopes. Patients were included from 01-2017 to 12-2018. Inclusion criteria were cirrhosis and recurrent ascites and expected survival of more than 3 months. Results: Thirteen patients were enrolled (PleurX =6 versus LVP =7). Seven were female, age range 51 to 80 years. No procedure-related complications occurred. Two patients died due to variceal bleeding (PleurX-group) and sepsis (LVP-group). One patient was withdrawn due to hyponatremia (PleurX-group). Two patients were withdrawn due to bacterial peritonitis and infection of unknown origin (Control-group). In the PleurX-group, all patients colonized the catheter, two developed bacterial peritonitis. The most common bacterial colonization was Staph. Epidermidis (n=4). Conclusions: In selected patients, the PleurX catheter mobilizes ascites and may be an alternative to LVP. The risk of infection should be considered in each case. The impact of colonization and risk of infections needs further investigation.

Trade in Scrap Materials: Looking Beyond Plastics
Authors: Pacini Henrique , Golbeck Jennifer
Published: October 2020

Growing evidence about the negative socio-environmental consequences of plastic pollution led to various initiatives for better plastic scrap governance and its trade. At the same time, an examination of recent data shows that plastic scrap represents only a fraction of recyclable materials which are traded internationally and are also subject to similar problems of cross-border environmental governance. A limited analysis comparing plastics, textiles, paper and ferrous metals suggests that ongoing momentum for improvement of plastic scrap governance and circularity should also be framed to consider other types of secondary materiais.
Mechanical Assessment and Hyper-elastic Modeling of Polyurethanes for the Early Design of Vascular Graft
Authors: Arevalo Said , Dominguez Carlos , Valero Manuel  F.
Published: October 2020

The lack of suitable autologous grafts and poor compliance of existing prostheses have prompted the study of novel materials for vascular graft design. Polyurethanes (PUs) were used in the past because they have high compliance and properties that are similar to those of native tissue. In this work, the mechanical properties of a group of PUs in two states (non-hydrated and hydrated) were studied using uniaxial tensile tests, strain sweep tests, and multi-step creep recovery tests. Additionally, a hyper-elastic model based on the Mooney–Rivlin strain density function was fitted and used to model the performances of the PUs under physiological pressure and geometry conditions. The tensile tests revealed a softening phenomenon after hydration, which could potentially reduce patient discomfort and risk of vascular trauma. The ultimate strength values after hydration were similar to those reported for other vascular conduits. The strain sweep showed a strong strain dependency of the modulus indicating non-linear viscoelasticity. In the creep-recovery tests, increasing the polyethylene glycol(PEG) content enhanced the viscous flow, while the elastic behavior was enhanced with the largest concentration of polycaprolactone diol (PCL). On the other hand, under simulated physiological conditions, the compliance of the PUs showed a cyclic behavior with the time and pressure but was not affected by the radii and thickness variation, which could increase the graft compliance and geometry mismatch. Nevertheless, the compliance could be tuned using the material composition. This paper studied the biomechanics of a group of materials under simulated physiological conditions (Temperature, hydration, and pressure) to select those that could perform better for further vascular graft design.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have structural and functional roles in development and disease. We have previously shown that the LINC00961/SPAAR locus regulates endothelial cell function, and that both the lncRNA and micropeptide counter-regulate angiogenesis. To assess human cardiac cell SPAAR expression we mined a publicly available scRNSeq dataset and confirmed LINC00961 locus expression and hypoxic response in a murine endothelial cell line. We investigated post-natal growth and development, basal cardiac function, the cardiac functional response and tissue-specific response to myocardial infarction. To investigate the contribution of the LINC00961/SPAAR locus to determination of longitudinal growth, cardiac function, and response to myocardial infarction, we used a novel CRISPR/Cas9 locus knockout mouse line. Data mining suggested that SPAAR is predominantly expressed in human cardiac endothelial cells and fibroblasts, while murine LINC00961 expression is hypoxia-responsive in mouse endothelial cells. LINC00961-/- mice displayed a sex-specific delay in longitudinal growth and development, smaller left ventricular systolic and diastolic areas and volumes, and greater risk area following myocardial infarction compared with wildtype littermates. These data suggest a role for the LINC00961/SPAAR locus in cardiac endothelial cell and fibroblast cell function and hypoxic-response, and in growth and development, and basal cardiovascular function in adulthood.

Published: October 2020

This work is dedicated to the problem of estimating the orientation of an object by image processing. To solve this problem, an approach consisting of two parts is considered: In the first stage, the attitude determination by means of the camera measurement model adapted for the use of quaternions. In the second stage the orientation quaternion correction is performed using the least squares method. The results of experimental studies showed that using the camera measurement model and the iterative process, can be determine the orientation quaternion with high accuracy. The good results obtained for orientation quaternions determination allow that this work can be easily integrated to another systems based on quaterions.

Industri tahu yang berada di kelurahan Sasi, kecamatan Kefamenanu, kabupaten Timor Tengah Utara, provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur terletak di tengah - tengah pemukiman penduduk. Limbah cair yang dihasilkan menimbulkan masalah bagi pencemaran lingkungan sekitar. Pencegahan yang dilakukan dengan cara mengangkut limbah menggunakan truk kemudian di buang ke tempat lain. Pembuangan limbah cair dibeberapa lahan milik warga tanpa unit pengolahan berdampak pencemaran bahkan berpotensi konflik dengan warga. Kelompok industri tahu sebagai mitra 1 yang didampingi pada Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM) perlu mendapatkan perhatian. Penyediaan tempat penampung limbah pada salah satu lahan warga untuk diolah sebelum dimanfaatkan untuk usaha tani menjadi solusi yang tepat menangani permasalahan limbah industri selama ini. Kelompok tani Oeputi sebagai mitra 2 yang didampingi pada Program Kemitraan Masyarakat, merupakan kelompok tani lahan kering yang usaha taninya sangat bergantung dari curah hujan. Usaha tani musim kemarau umumnya dilakukan di pekarangan rumah. Sedangkan pada musim hujan usaha tani dilakukan di lahan tani. Melihat potensi lahan tani yang cukup luas, dengan limbah cair tahu berlimpah, tentunya dapat meningkatkan produksi tanaman lahan kering di kelurahan Sasi. Oleh

The presence of the Islamic Financial Institution Qanun No 11 in 2018 is a special right for Aceh and has brought a breath of fresh air to the development of the Islamic banking industry in Aceh, a number of conventional banks in Aceh are required to convert to Islamic banks, The purpose of this study is to explain the procedure for accelerating the conversion of unconventional banks to Islamic banks in Aceh and to explain the challenges of banking institutions with the obligation to convert financial institutions in Aceh. The obligation to convert a conventional bank into a sharia bank is clearly as stipulated in article 6 points e and d, although the process of converting a conventional bank to a sharia bank is not found directly in the qanun, but every bank that does the conversion must refer to BI regulations namely PBI No. 11 / 15 / PBI-2009, this is as explained in article 12 "before carrying out business activities, LKS must have a business license in accordance with the provisions of the legislation".
