Daily Streamflow Trends in Western vs. Eastern Norway and their Attribution to Hydro-Meteorological drivers
Authors: Skålevåg Amalie , Vormoor K
Published: February 2021

Climate change in terms of regional warming and modifications in
precipitation regimes has large impacts on streamflow in regions where
both rainfall and snowmelt are important runoff generating processes
like in Norway. Hydrological impacts of recent changes in climate are
usually investigated by trend analyses applied on annual, seasonal, or
monthly time series. However, neither of them can detect sub-seasonal
changes and their underlying causes. Based on high-resolution trend
analyses (i.e., applying the Mann-Kendall test on 10-day-moving-averaged
daily time series), this study investigated sub-seasonal changes in
daily streamflow, rainfall, and snowmelt in 61 and 51 catchments in
Western vs. Eastern Norway (Vestlandet vs. Østlandet), respectively,
over the period 1983-2012. The relative contribution of rainfall vs.
snowmelt to daily streamflow and the changes therein have also been
estimated to identify the changing relevance of these driving processes
over the same period. Detected changes in daily streamflow were finally
attributed to changes in the most important hydro-meteorological drivers
using multiple-regression models with increasing complexity. Results
reveal a coherent picture of earlier spring flow timing in both regions
due to earlier snowmelt. Other streamflow trend patterns differ between
both regions: Østlandet shows increased summer streamflow in catchments
up to ~1100 m a.s.l. and slightly increased winter
streamflow in about 50 % of the catchments, while trend patterns in
Vestlandet are less coherent. The importance of rainfall for streamflow
contribution has increased in both regions, and the trend attribution
reveals that changes in rainfall and snowmelt can explain streamflow
changes to some degree in periods and regions where they are dominant
(snowmelt: spring and Østlandet; rainfall: autumn and Vestlandet).
However, detected streamflow changes can be best explained by adding
temperature as an additional predictor which indicates the relevance of
additional driving processes for streamflow changes like increased
glacier melt and evapotranspiration.

The Impact of Aorto-mitral Angle on New Onset Atrial Arrhythmia after Mitral Valve Repair in Patients with Mitral Regurgitation
Authors: Kagawa Shunsuke , Abe Yukio , Matsumura Yoshiki , Nomura Nanaka , Shimeno Kenji , Naruko Takahiko , Murakami Takashi , Takahashi Yosuke , Shibata Toshihiko , Yoshiyama Minoru
Published: February 2021

Background: We hypothesized that the post-operative aorto-mitral angle
might relate to the occurrence of post-operative atrial arrhythmia (AA),
including atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardia, after mitral valve
repair in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR). The purpose of the
present study was to determine the effects of the post-operative
aorto-mitral angle on new onset AA after mitral valve repair with mitral
annuloplasty for treating MR. Methods: One-hundred seventy-two patients
without any history of AA underwent mitral valve repair with mitral
annuloplasty in our institution between 2008 and 2017. Patient
information, including medical records and echocardiographic data, were
retrospectively studied. Results: AA occurred in 15 (8.7%) patients
during the follow-up period (median, 35.7 months; range, 0.5-132
months). The patients with AA had a longer cardiopulmonary bypass time
and a smaller aorto-mitral angle at post-operative TTE than the others
(119 ± 6 degrees vs. 125 ± 10 degrees, P = 0.003). There was no
significant difference in the degree of post-operative residual MR or
functional MS between the groups. In a multivariate Cox proportional
hazards analysis, the longer cardiopulmonary bypass time and the smaller
post-operative aorto-mitral angle were independent predictors of the
occurrence of AA during the follow-up period (odds ratio per 10 minutes
1.11; 95% CI 1.02-1.22, P = 0.019: odds ratio 0.91; 95% CI 0.85-0.98,
P = 0.012). Conclusion: A small aorto-mitral angle at post-operative TTE
was a predictor of new onset AA after a mitral valve repair for treating
MR.

There is a need for anti-diabetic agents successfully targeting insulin
sensitivity and treating obesity control at the same time. The aim of
this first-in-human study was 1) to evaluate safety and tolerability; 2)
to evaluate pharmacokinetics and 3) to assess indications of receptor
engagement of single ascending doses of KBP-042, a Dual Amylin and
Calcitonin Receptor Agonists (DACRA) that has shown promising
preclinical data, with superior activity in terms of typical
amylin-induced responses including reduction of food intake, weight loss
and gluco-regulatory capacities. A randomised double-blind
placebo-controlled single ascending dose study was performed with six
dose levels of KBP-042 (5, 7.5, 10, 20, 20 evening and 40µg) in healthy
male adults. KBP-042 or placebo was administered as a single dose after
an overnight fast, followed by a standardized lunch after four hours.
KBP-042 was associated with dose-dependent complaints of nausea and
vomiting, with a lack of tolerability at doses of 20µg and above. Doses
of 5 to 40 μg KBP-042 were behaved according to a linear pharmacokinetic
profile. Indications of target receptor engagement were observed at the
level of glucose control and lowering of bone resorption, compared to
placebo. The results of this study showed that doses up to 40 μg were
safe, although tolerability was not present at the highest doses. The
study confirmed target receptor engagement at the studied doses.
IL-10 lentivirus-laden hydrogel tubes increase spinal progenitor survival and neuronal differentiation after spinal cord injury
Authors: Ciciriello Andrew , Smith Dominique , Munsell Mary , Boyd Sydney , Shea Lonnie , Dumont Courtney
Published: February 2021

The pathophysiological response following spinal cord injury (SCI) is
characterized by a complex cellular cascade that limits regeneration.
Biomaterial and stem cell combination therapies have shown synergistic
effects, compared to their interventions independent of each other, and
represent a promising approach towards regaining function after injury.
In this study, we combine our polyethylene glycol (PEG) cell delivery
platform with lentiviral-mediated overexpression of the
anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 to improve embryonic day
14 (E14) spinal progenitor transplant survival. PEG tubes loaded with
lentivirus encoding for IL-10 were implanted immediately following
injury into a mouse SCI hemisection model. Two weeks after tube
implantation, mouse E14 spinal progenitors were injected directly into
the integrated tubes, which served as a soft substrate for cell
transplantation. Together, the tubes with the IL-10 encoding lentivirus
improved E14 spinal progenitor survival, assessed at two weeks
post-transplantation (four weeks post-injury). Mice receiving IL-10
lentivirus-laden tubes had on average 8.1% of E14 spinal progenitors
survive compared to 0.7% in mice receiving transplants without tubes,
an 11.5-fold difference. Surviving E14 spinal progenitors gave rise to
neurons when injected into tubes. Additionally, axon elongation and
remyelination was observed, in addition to a faster rate of functional
recovery in mice receiving anti-inflammatory tubes with E14 spinal
progenitor delivery. This system affords increased control over the
transplantation microenvironment, offering the potential to improve stem
cell-mediated tissue regeneration.
Bifurcation and comparison of a discrete-time Hindmarsh-Rose model
Authors: Li Yue , Cao Hongjun
Published: February 2021

In this paper, a discrete-time Hindmarsh-Rose model is obtained by a
nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) scheme. Bifurcation behaviors
between the model obtained by the forward Euler scheme and the model
obtained by the NSFD scheme are compared. Through analytical and
numerical comparisons, much more bifurcations and dynamical behaviors
can be obtained and preserved by using the NSFD scheme, in which the
integral step size can be chosen larger relatively due to its better
stability and convergence than those in the forward Euler scheme. It
means that the discretetime model obtained by the NSFD scheme is closer
to the original continuous system than the discrete-time model obtained
by the forward Euler scheme. These confirmed results can at least
guarantee true available numerical results to investigate complex neuron
dynamical systems.

Background LIVE (Less Invasive Ventricular Enhancement) with Revivent
TC™ is an innovative therapy for symptomatic ischemic Heart Failure
(HF). It is designed to reconstruct a negatively remodeled left
ventricle (LV) after an anterior myocardial infarction (MI) by plication
of the scar tissue. Its indications are specific and, as with any other
structural heart intervention, the success of the procedure starts with
appropriate patient selection. We aim to present the indications of the
technique, crucial aspects in patient selection and individual case
planning approach. Methods and Results After clinical evaluation,
transthoracic echocardiography is the first imaging modality to be
performed in a potential candidate for the therapy. However, definitive
indication and detailed case planning rely on late gadolinium-enhanced
cardiac magnetic resonance imaging or multiphasic contrast-enhanced
cardiac computed tomography. These imaging modalities also assist with
relative or absolute contra-indications for the procedure. Individual
assessment is done to tailor the procedure to the specifics of the LV
anatomy and location of the myocardial scar. Conclusion LIVE procedure
is a unique intervention to treat symptomatic heart failure and ischemic
cardiomyopathy after anterior MI. It is a highly customizable
intervention that allows a patient-tailored approach, based on
multimodality imaging assessment and planification.
Informal economy in the world and in Azerbaijan
Authors: Novruzov Nofel
Published: February 2021

According to the ILO, more than 61 percent of the world's employed people worldwide earn their living in the informal economy. After the collapse of the USSR and the administrative-command system in most countries with economies in transition, the informal sector became quite significant and began to play an irreplaceable role in creating jobs, generating income for the population and producing goods and services. This article examines different assessments of the size and composition of the informal economy in the world and in Azerbaijan. Special attention is paid to the factors, causes and consequences of the functioning of the informal economy. The author believes that the informal sector should be viewed as a kind of social stabilizer, although due to its large scale it should be regulated and, if possible, formalized.
The road to digital unfreedom: how artificial intelligence is reshaping repression
Authors: Feldstein Steven
Published: February 2021

The problem of freedoms and non-freedoms within the framework of a democratic regime is of interest to most researchers, since it depends on them how "correctly" each of us understands how and for whom these categories work. Of course, we are interested in the latest developments in this area, so the editors cite a study by Professor Stephen Feldstein from Boise State University. It is difficult to agree with Professor Feldstein absolutely in everything, and therefore some fragments of the article are marked with footnotes of the author of the translation. The author of the article cannot be taken away from the merit that the study of this issue requires seriousness and a close look into the future. First of all, Stephen Feldstein in his article exposes the fruits of advanced artificial intelligence as an accomplice and hotbed of an autocratic repressive regime of government. Cites the scenarios according to which modern authoritarians solve the problems of the emergence of opposition forces within the country. Draws predictive pictures that can come true if the pace of development of technologies in the field of artificial intelligence continues to grow temporally. Nevertheless, we must assume that the main premise that the author wanted to convey to us is a warning against the superpowers of artificial intelligence that China possesses and the fruits of new technologies that it is ready to share in the name, if we continue the author's thought, of a shallow hidden intention of world domination, thereby, as we can draw independent conclusions, violating similar plans of the United States.

Carnivalism of parody religions in the context of popular culture
Authors: Sokovikov Sergey
Published: February 2021

Parody religions are symptomatic phenomena of the cultural space. They signal some of the crisis features of the modern state of the religious sphere. At the same time, parodic religions, travesty of religious images, continue their projection in a transformed, carnivalized form. The most important circumstance is the environment for the emergence of these phenomena - popular culture as a sphere of spontaneous cultural creation. In the analytics devoted to this problem, the specificity of such a socio-cultural context of parody religions is practically not touched upon. Hence, there are many discrepancies and imprecise interpretations of the phenomenon. At the same time, it is his analysis at the intersection of the "new religiosity", carnivalism and the contextual role of popular culture that makes it possible to more accurately determine the origins, actual meaning and prospects of parodic religions, this bizarre fractal of modern culture.
Antique cosmocenrism, dearth and development of being-exisence
Authors: Ginzburg Boris , Grishin Vadim , Shilovskaya Natalia
Published: February 2021

The article is devoted to the ancient "twists and turns" of being. In its a dramatic context the boundary situation of death of the person is considered. The proposed excursion to the antique philosophical thinking allows us to consider a number of fundamental ontological and anthropological ideas in the context of the problems of death, immortality, renewal of being and the possibility of the existence of nothingness, the position of man in relation to a changing being. Following to ancient and modern philosophers we fix the antique totality and centrality of fuses (the nature of existence-cosmos) and human being as its harmonious part of it. They develop from birth to death. The phenomenon of death in antiquity has an ontological content. The death "belongs" to being, it is not the special identity of the subject and the border situation experiences and comprehension of human existence.

On the issue of imposing restrictions on budgetary (autonomous) institutions that carry out purchases in order to fulfill state (municipal) tasks
Authors: Fedoseeva Kristina
Published: February 2021

The subject of the research in this article is the restrictions provided for by the draft law submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation in relation to budgetary (autonomous) institutions engaged in procurement for the purpose of fulfilling state (municipal) tasks. The purpose of the study is to analyze these restrictions in the context of the reform carried out in relation to budgetary (autonomous) institutions aimed at increasing their economic independence. The article makes a scientific assessment of the legal possibilities of attracting co-executors for state and non-state organizations in the process of rendering state (municipal) services in connection with the adoption of Federal Law No. 189-FZ of July 13, 2020 "On State (Municipal) social order for the provision of state (municipal) services in the social sphere". The issue of the organization of law enforcement in the studied area, namely the use of the budget classification tool of the Russian Federation and other methods of identification of purchases, is considered. The author used such methods as comparison, generalization, system analysis, modeling and deduction. В  A special contribution of the author to the study of this topic is the formulation of general criteria that would enable institutions to attract performers (contractors) to perform works (provide services) in order to fulfill a state (municipal) task if the draft law under consideration is adopted. The main conclusion of this study is the need to bring to uniformity the regulatory regulation of the right to conduct procurement for the provision of public (municipal) services by both public and private organizations. This is due to the introduction of budgetary (autonomous) institutions into the competitive market along with other non-governmental organizations and giving them a certain economic freedom as a result of the initiated reform.
Major Project Risk Management: Reconciling Complexity During Delivery with the Inside View in Planning
Authors: Paul Chapman  , Cuong Quang
Published: February 2021

Recent research on the origins of risk during the planning and delivery of major projects broadly addresses two root causes: (i) complexity at the planning phase and also during project delivery, and; (ii) ‘the inside view’ at the planning phase and the associated issues of strategic misrepresentation and cognitive biases such as optimism bias. This paper presents the results of a systematic review that finds a schism in the literature showing theoretical and empirical treatment of project delivery risk polarises into considering either the effect of complexity or the inside view; rarely are they considered jointly. This work discusses the implications for theory and practice and identifies Case Based Decision Theory and Bayesian modelling, both of which are outside view techniques, as having potential to reconcile complexity and the inside view and thus provide for their joint treatment.
