El canal de renta real y las depreciaciones contractivas en un modelo de agentes heterogéneos para América Latina
Authors: Campos Rodolfo , Paz Peter
Published: March 2023

Motivación

En América Latina es común observar depreciaciones del tipo de cambio que superan el 20 % en un año. Estas, si bien tienden a estimular la demanda externa neta de un país, no siempre redundan en un incremento del producto. Entender los canales que pueden explicar este resultado resulta de interés.

Ideas principales

•De acuerdo con la teoría macroeconómica convencional, las depreciaciones del tipo de cambio tienen efectos expansivos sobre la actividad económica. No obstante, la evidencia empírica muestra que, en el caso de las economías emergentes, una depreciación del tipo de cambio puede tener efectos contractivos sobre la actividad.

•Un canal que permite racionalizar esta evidencia, denominado «canal de renta real de la depreciación», opera a través de la erosión del poder de compra producida por el encarecimiento de los bienes importados.

•En este artículo se considera un modelo de agentes heterogéneos calibrado para las principales economías de América Latina, que permite cuantificar la relevancia de este canal. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos, el impacto macroeconómico de dicho canal puede ser significativo, sobre todo para aquellas economías más abiertas al comercio internacional.

Authors: Coles Jason , Mokha G. Monique , Edmonds W. Alex , Jiannine Lia
Published: March 2023

Introduction: We aimed to examine the effect of resistance training rest interval length on chronic changes of systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).Methods: 27 normotensive young adults were randomly assigned to one of three rest interval length groups: 30-sec, 90-sec, or 150-sec. Baseline and posttest SBP and DBP measurements were obtained. Participants resistance trained and logged their sessions in a smartphone application three times per week for 8 weeks. They also measured their blood pressure weekly with a home kit. Changes in SBP and DBP between the three groups were tested using a mixed model 3 x 2 ANOVA analysis with follow-up post-hocs as necessary.Results: There was no significant interaction between rest interval group and time for SBP or DBP. For SBP, there was a significant main effect for time, p<0.001 (pre: 115 mmHg vs. post: 108 mmHg).Conclusions: SBP and DBP were not significantly influenced by rest interval length over time. The resistance training program had no effect on DBP but significantly decreased SBP regardless of rest interval. These results indicate that young normotensive adults may use short, moderate, or long duration rest intervals to elicit reductions in SBP.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are among the most reported injuries in college athletics, typically resulting from excessive closed-kinetic chain (CKC) supination.  The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a novel CKC supination-style ankle strengthening program to a traditional ankle strengthening program on common LAS indices.   
Methods:  Thirty NCAA Division III collegiate football players (19.9±1.0yrs., 182.2±6.9cm, 98.8±18.0kg) were randomly assigned to a novel exercise (SUP, n = 16) or traditional exercise group (TRA, n = 14). The SUP group performed dynamic bodyweight exercises with controlled ankle supination while the TRA group performed traditional ankle strengthening exercise using elastic bands and stability exercises 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Right and left ankle inversion (InvR, InvL) and eversion (EvR, EvL) strength (kg), ankle inversion range of motion (romR, romL) (deg.), and figure-8 hop test (fig8R, fig8L) (s) performance were assessed pre- and post-intervention.
Results: Both groups showed significant improvements in all outcome measures pre- to post-test (ΔInvR: TRA 4.5±4.3kg, SUP 5.0±4.4kg; ΔIvL: TRA 4.0±3.8kg, SUP 4.8±3.6kg; ΔEvR: TRA 5.7±4.3kg, SUP 4.7±3.3kg; ΔEvL: TRA 4.7±2.9kg, SUP 4.5±2.2kg; ΔromR: TRA 4.5±2.6°, SUP 4.9±3.0°; ΔromL: TRA 4.7±4.5°, SUP 4.6±5.1°; Δfig8R: TRA -0.43±0.20s, SUP -0.37±0.31s; Δfig8L: TRA -0.40±0.22s, SUP -0.34±0.30s; p’s<0.001), with no difference between groups.
Conclusions: A bodyweight, supination style ankle training program can improve physical qualities related to LAS to a similar extent as a traditional program, and therefore, could potentially be a viable alternative strategy for reducing LAS in Division III NCAA football players.

Intestinal adenocarcinoma is an invasive malignant neoplasm that originates from glandular tissue, with metastatic potential. The best treatment is surgical correction, and the anesthetic protocol chosen is directly related to the successfulness of the procedure. This study aims to report the anesthetic approach in a feline with intestinal adenocarcinoma submitted to intestinal resection and anastomosis. An 11-year-old mixed breed feline was examined and diagnosed with intestinal neoplasia. The feline was referred to the procedure of resection and intestinal anastomosis. The procedure was performed in the PIVA mode and lasted 90 minutes. The patient remained hospitalized receiving post-surgery medications for three days and was discharged on the fifth day. In addition to the drug treatment, the feline received food via an esophageal tube until being discharged from the hospital. A histopathological sample was analyzed, confirming adenocarcinoma. The anesthetic protocol, surgical treatment and postoperative care were adequate, resulting in an effective procedure.

Published: March 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a wide impact on various fields of human life in the world. Efforts to deal with COVID in Indonesia have led to various policies both at the national and regional levels. Similarly, the policy for handling COVID-19 in the Province of Bali. One of the policies is the policy of establishing the SATGAS Gotong Royong based on traditional village. The policy in its implementation produces various achievements according to the conditions of the community in which the policy is implemented.  The case in Denpasar City, as an urban city with high interaction of activities and human mobility, it is certainly different from other regencies in Bali with more homogeneous community conditions. This qualitative research with a case study approach wants to evaluate the policy of establishing the SATGAS Gotong Royong based on traditional village in handling COVID-19 in Denpasar City. This needs to be done as a form of supervision because no matter how good a new policy is, its success or failure will be known through an assessment called evaluation.
MIDDLE EOCENE IN THE ALPINE RETROFORELAND BASIN (NORTHERN ITALY): SEDIMENTARY RECORD OF A “MESO-ALPINE” ARC-TRENCH SYSTEM IN THE ALPS
Authors: SCIUNNACH DARIO , TREMOLADA FABRIZIO , PREMOLI SILVA ISABELLA , SCARDIA GIANCARLO
Published: March 2023

The middle Eocene Cibrone Formation of Brianza (central-western Lombardy) represents an important stratigraphic record to understand a key step of the tectonic evolution of the Alpine range poorly recorded elsewhere. Quantitative petrographic analysis of turbidite arenites, well-constrained in age by the biostratigraphy of interlayered marlstones based on calcareous foraminifera and nannoplankton, allowed us to identify a possible vertical compositional trend within the Cibrone Fm. and to document the NP17 nannofossil Zone (Bartonian) in central Lombardy exposures, east of the Ternate Formation outcrop area. Variable arenite compositions are interpreted to reflect contributions from different source areas, i.e., recycled orogen, island arc, and starved continental shelf. In a paleogeographic scenario still open to different interpretations, the proposed reconstruction supports a classical plate tectonics model for arc-trench systems. The stratigraphic gap, recorded everywhere in Lombardy, between the Eocene succession and the base of the Gonfolite Lombarda Group (upper NP24 nannofossil Zone, early Chattian), corresponds to the earliest stage of continental collision, uplift and erosion that climaxed in the Neo-Alpine Phase.

Authors: Polyiem Titiworada , Nuangchalerm Prasart
Published: March 2023

The goals of this study were twofold: 1) to enhance the learning management competence of novice teachers in the teacher production for local development; and 2) to investigate the opinions of novice teachers toward the learning management competence based on the teacher production for local development. The key informants consisted of 84 teachers from 12 different academic disciplines working in the network for Thailand's lower northeastern region. A questionnaire for interviews and a test of one's competence in learning management were used as study tools. Mean and standard deviation were the two types of statistics used in the examination of quantitative data. According to the findings, the total level of competence in learning management was already rather high after the first round, and it reached its highest possible level after the second round. New instructors increased their skills in learning management and were able to use their newly acquired knowledge when constructing learning activities depending on the learning goals, topics, and ages of their students. In addition to this, students were able to employ teaching and learning management abilities appropriate for the 21st century, which included educational quality enhancement.

Authors: Alsadaan Nourah , Kimpton Amanda , Jones Linda K. , DaCosta Cliff
Published: March 2023

Background: Understanding nurses’ perceptions about their nurse managers is a crucial element to consider as it helps in the performance of the nurse managers and retention of nurses and reflects the nature of a competent workforce in achieving the organisational goals.Objective: To explore if there is a difference in perceptions of leadership style between nurse managers and their staff and discuss why this occurs.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive comparative research design was used.Results: Nurse managers rated themselves as using transformational and transactional factors more than the nurses perceived them utilising these various leadership styles. Nurse managers, however, rated themselves lower than nurses in both laissez-faire and management-by-exception-passive.Discussion: The leadership style preferred by the followers is consistently rated higher than the leadership style that their leaders are utilising. Formation of accurate self-perception is a delicate process, especially for people in management positions. Bias in higher self-ratings may occur for several reasons, including gender, which forms the basis of this discussion.Conclusions: The results highlight the need for nurse managers to reflect on their practices and find new ways to enhance their leadership styles.

Published: March 2023

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching model which has been widely applied in class throughout the world. PBL originated in America and developed systematically in western countries. To further the PBL development in China, this paper mainly makes comparison of PBL in class between China and America based on two authentic PBL class cases and finds out that PBL classes differ in process monitoring, project setting, and evaluation of works. At the same time, they are similar in the diversified assignments, project duration, and creative thinking skills. By analyzing these points, this research has three main findings :(1)The American case favors project-based learning more, whereas the Chinese case emphasizes problem-based learning; (2)When delivering the curriculum, it is crucial for teachers to strike a balance between PBL and related subjects, and obstacles, length, or materials should also be taken into account. ; (3)Group collaboration is the primary means of reducing the management challenge in PBL teaching, and strengthening PBL teaching management is a link in the teaching process. The paper contributes to helping teachers who are committed to PBL adopt the good points and avoid shortcomings of the lesson plan and project design.

This paper may provide inspiration to youth groups that are unstable and bewildered because of the pandemic, giving them hope and motivation for the future. At the same time, it will ideally stimulate the economic growth of cities below the third tier for the community.
Young People's Sang Culture Providing New Ideas for the Development of Education in Contemporary China
Authors: Yuan Yuexian
Published: March 2023

In recent years, after China has made significant achievements in the economic and political fields, it has started to strengthen the role of "self-confidence" in the cultural field. At the social level, the "Four Confidences" have been proposed, and in the field of education, the "New Youth of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" are required to be cultivated. Under the initiative and construction of this sunny and positive energy, more and more subcultural youth groups have emerged. In this paper, the author has observed and summarized many papers and participated in many discussions with subcultural groups, and explored and summarized the various manifestations of contemporary subculture - Sang culture. This "poor quality" culture is partly a reflection of the contemporary youth's sense of resistance, but it is not a fundamental solution to the plight of contemporary youth. Therefore, the author proposes feasible measures at four levels: government, school, media, and individual, which are expected to have a positive impact in the future.

Analysis of the Wearing or Revealing of the Hijab
Authors: Li Shuaizhen
Published: March 2023

Women are blatantly portrayed as second-class citizens through the careful analysis of historical and religious writings. In modern society, young girls and women are encouraged to stand up for their basic rights. When it comes to the highly controversial question of whether or not women should wear hijabs and how it affects their personal life, opposing countries with multiple perspectives on the issue have created according to guidelines for how these women should act without paying much attention to the female community itself. These rules have led to unequal treatment of women's actions throughout the world. A Muslim teacher in France lost her job while battling for her right to wear a headscarf while teaching, while Mahsa Amini in Iran was assassinated by the morality police. Women suffer in both situations since their human rights are disregarded—whether it is her freedom of religion or clothes which attract feminists' attention. It is advised that Islamic countries stop utilizing the hijab to prevent men from harassing women and start teaching children to treat others with respect instead. Furthermore, all countries should respect women's autonomy and permit the wearing or revealing of the hijab.

To explore the influencing factors of women 's three-child fertility desire based on the questionnaire survey of women at different levels in many provinces, and to provide reference for the practice of fertility policy in China. The questionnaire survey was conducted among 500 women of childbearing age in Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou provinces. Logistic regression analysis was performed using SPSS27.0.  The results showed that 33.1 % of the subjects were willing to have three children, and 66.9 % of the subjects were unwilling to have three children. The results of logistic regression analysis show that women 's workplace development, changes in family status after childbirth and the impact of childbirth on women 's physiology are the factors that negatively affect women 's willingness to have three children, and women 's workplace development has the greatest impact on their fertility willingness. This study provides theoretical support and policy recommendations for improving women 's willingness to have three children.
Reflections on Franz Boas’ Anthropology and Modern Life
Authors: Porr Martin
Published: March 2023

This paper critically engages with the book Anthropology and Modern Life by Franz Boas, which was originally published in 1928. The paper discusses a number of themes addressed in the book and assesses their relevance to current challenges for anthropological research and public engagement. An important element of Boas’ book is his critique of racist thinking as a basis to understand human actions and other aspects of human variability. Even though Boas’ treatment of racism is not entirely unproblematic itself, his critical contributions remain deeply relevant today in light of a resurgence of related ideas in current public discourses and anthropological research contexts. Even though Boas’ views of education appear to be quite eclectic, they can still serve to support a holistic and reflexive approach towards learning, which are aspects that also come under increasing pressure in higher education contexts in many countries right now. Finally, some consequences of Boas’ arguments for current aspects of archaeological issues are discussed, even though archaeology did not feature in Anthropology and Modern Life in any substantial form. However, the core themes of Boas’ book remain applicable to archaeological research and the impact of archaeological knowledge on public discourses. From this arises a particular responsibility with respect to the historical narratives that archaeology produces and their relationship to contemporary issues and challenges.

Thực tế cho thấy ngôn ngữ là một phạm trù vô cùng rộng lớn chứ không chỉ gói gọn trong lời nói và chữ viết. Có những ngôn ngữ không có âm thanh mà vẫn diễn tả được những thực tại phong phú, ta có thể gọi đó là ngôn ngữ biểu tượng. Cho nên, không lạ gì khi Kinh Thánh trình bày về tính huyền nhiệm trong hoạt động của Chúa Thánh Thần bằng những hình ảnh và biểu tượng hơn là những định nghĩa bằng lời nói hay chữ viết, bởi vì “Gió muốn thổi đâu thì thổi. Không ai biết gió từ đâu đến và sẽ đi đâu” (Ga 3,8). Trong bài viết này, qua những cảm nghiệm thực tế, người viết cố gắng “Thử Tìm Một Biểu Tượng Mới Về Chúa Thánh Thần Cho Giới Trẻ Thời Đại Công Nghệ Số.”
In the various correlations of life, language is the means by which humans convey and express ideas. People often immediately think of speech and writing when we talk about language. However, sometimes words and writing do not fully express the meaning of ideas, especially abstract concepts that belong to the supernatural realm, which the human mind finds difficult to grasp and express. Reality shows that language is an incredibly vast domain, not just limited to speech and writing. There are languages that do not have sound but can still express rich realities, which we can call symbolic language. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Bible presents the mystical nature of the Holy Spirit's activity through images and symbols rather than definitions in words or writing because "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going" (John 3:8). In this article, through practical experiences, the author tries to "Find a New Symbol for the Holy Spirit for the Young Generation in the Digital Age." It is hoped that what is presented in this article can help someone, especially young people, have a clearer understanding of the presence of the Holy Spirit, feel the impact of the Holy Spirit in life, and thus love and diligently come to Him.

Same, Same but Different: Preventing Crime and Preventing Victimisation
Authors: O'Connell Michael
Published: March 2023

In 1985, the international community agreed tackle the causes of crime to prevent victimisation. Since then, that community has identified the reduction of crime and violence as integral to achieving the sustainable development goals. Contrary, factors associated with globalisation and the pandemic have led to increases in certain crimes, thus increases in criminal victimisation. Preventing crime is necessary to prevent victimisation. Prioritising people’s safety, so they do not become victims, is crucial, and given should be a greater priority internationally and domestically. Drawing on findings from crime prevention programmes designed to prevent victimisation, the author argues that victim assistance must be a key element of preventive activities. However, while crime prevention and preventing victimisation, on the one hand, are ‘same, same’, on the other hand, they are ‘different’.

The findings show that the number of road accidents fell by 28.53% during the lockdown period (March 26 to June 14, 2020) compared to before the lockdown period (January 5 to March 25, 2020). There was also a considerable decrease in road accidents by approximately 4.96% compared to the same period in 2019 (January 4 to June 14, 2019). High accident incidence areas were located in central and southwestern Bangkok, and this pattern was also observed before and during the lockdown as well as in 2019. The findings revealed the numbers and patterns of road accidents that occurred during the COVID-19 outbreak. This information can be useful in minimizing and limiting the impact and damage caused by road accidents in Bangkok.
In Vitro Evaluation of the Wound Healing Properties and Safety Assessment of Fucoidan Extracted from Sargassum angustifolium
Authors: Amiri Goushki Mehdi , Sabahi Hossein , Kabiri Mahboubeh
Published: March 2023

Seaweeds are rich in fucoidan, which has various biologic effects. So far, a lot of research has been conducted on the biological effects of fucoidan extracted from various species of seaweed. However, the effects of partially purified extract of Sargassum angustifolium (PPE-SA) on wound healing (cell migration) of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) have not yet been studied. In this experimental study, crude fucoidan was extracted from S. angustifolium using an advanced method. After removing lipids, pigments and low molecular weight compounds with ethanol and removal of alginate with CaCl2, polysaccharides in the remaining material were extracted with hot water (60ºC). The polysaccharides of the resulting extract were precipitated with ethanol. Then, the wound healing and safety of PPE-SA on ADMSCs were investigated by MTT and the scratch assay, respectively. The MTT assay showed that PPE-SA did not only have a negative effect on the growth of mesenchymal cells but at some concentrations improved their growth by up to 1.5 times. The PPE-SA also increased ADMSCs migration by 76% and 142% after 48 h and 72 h incubation, which showed the superiority of this seaweeds extract over many other reported species and genera. The results of this study showed that an extract of this seaweed obtained by this method has the potential to promote the growth of mesenchymal stem cells and may have a high potential for use in tissue engineering applications.

Published: March 2023

Crassulaceae familyasına ait çok yıllık sukulent bir bitki olan kalanşo (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) Avrupa'da en çok yetiştirilen saksılı bitkilerdendir. İlkbaharda yeşil çelikler ile çoğaltılan kalonşo hastalık ve zararlılara hassas bir tür olup, vejetatif çoğaltma esnasında bitki kayıpları oluşmaktadır. Çelikle üretilen türlerde kök oluşumunu hızlandırmak ve kaliteli bir kök gelişimi sağlamak için çeşitli kimyasallar ve hormon uygulamaları yapılmaktadır. Ancak son yıllarda sürdürülebilir tarım için önemli araçlar olan mikroorganizmaların kullanımlarına yönelik araştırmalar önem kazanmıştır. Bitkisel üretimde kullanılan en önemli yararlı mikroorganizmalar ise bakterilerdir. Yapılan bu çalışmada, daha önce tanımlanan ve IAA (indol asetik asit) gen varlığı PCR analizleri ile tespit edilen Bacillus spp. türüne ait rizobakteriler aktifleştirilerek iki farklı bakteri solüsyonu hazırlanmış ve 1000 ppm IBA (indol bütirik asit) ile birlikte kalanşo yeşil çeliklerine daldırma ile uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar neticesinde rizobakteri uygulamalarının kalanşo yeşil çeliklerinde köklenme ve fide kalitesi üzerine olumlu etkileri olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Köklenme oranı, kök boyu, fide boyu, fide yaprak sayısı ve fide yaş ağırlığı kontrol grubuna kıyasla, istatistiksel olarak önemli seviyede artış göstermiştir. Yeşil çelik köklenme oranı kontrole göre %30 artış sağlarken, fide boyu ve yaprak sayısında 2 kat, fide yaş ağırlığında ise kontrole kıyasla yaklaşık 4 kat artış sağlanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular neticesinde, Bacillus spp. türlerine ait bakteriyel grupların süs bitkilerinde köklenme ve fide kalitesi üzerinde önemli pozitif etkilerinin olduğu belirlenmiştir.
