Medienkompetenz aus bildungswissenschaftlicher, bildungspolitischer und schulpraktischer Perspektive
Authors: Meyer Francine , Becker Janina , Bock Annekatrin
Published: June 2023

Dass digitale Medien nahezu alle Lebensbereiche durchdringen, ist mittlerweile ein Gemeinplatz. Die mediale Omnipräsenz macht den Umgang mit Technologien bedeutend, weshalb es gerade im Bildungskontext elementar erscheint, Medienkompetenz (MK) zu behandeln. Allerdings gibt es unterschiedliche Ansichten dazu, welche Kompetenzen mit dem Containerbegriff angesprochen sind. Zudem wird meist das Verständnis der vermittelnden und lernenden Akteur:innen darüber vernachlässigt, was MK in der Praxis sei. Vor diesem Hintergrund befragten wir Lehrpersonen und Jugendliche. Mittels einer Ergebnistriangulation wurden sowohl qualitative, leitfadengestützte Interviews mit 24 Lehrpersonen und zwölf Schüler:innen sowie eine quantitative, teilstandardisierte Onlinebefragung von Schüler:innen (N = 324) berücksichtigt. Zur Annäherung an ein gemeinsames Verständnis des Begriffs MK und seiner Inhalte werden die Ansichten der Befragten mit wissenschaftlicher (MK-Modell nach Baacke 1996) und bildungspolitischer Perspektive in Form der KMK-Strategie zur Bildung in der digitalen Welt (2017) zusammengebracht. Die Aussagen verdeutlichen ein uneinheitliches Verständnis von MK und zeigen ebenso, dass die in der KMK formulierte Vorgabe von MK als Zielkategorie in der Praxis kaum Anwendung findet. Der Beitrag schliesst mit Überlegungen, inwieweit die Berücksichtigung der Ansichten von Lehrpersonen, Schüler:innen fruchtbar für die Modifikation und praktische Implementierung von MK-Modellen sein kann.
Reflexives Spielen?
Authors: Lux Joelle-Denise , Budke Alexandra
Published: June 2023

Digitale Spiele rücken immer stärker in den medienpädagogischen Fokus. Viele aktuelle kommerzielle Spiele beschäftigen sich mit gesellschaftlichen Themen aus einer systemischen Perspektive und bergen so Potenziale für die Entwicklung eines kompetenten Umgangs mit diesen realen Herausforderungen. Dies macht Spiele interessant für die Medienpädagogik und verschiedene Unterrichtsfächer, die diesen fördern wollen, etwa den Geographieunterricht. Entscheidend für die Wirkung ist dabei, ob sie von den Spielenden (kritisch) reflektiert werden. Inwiefern dies in informellen Kontexten bereits geschieht, wird in der vorliegenden Studie untersucht. Auf Basis dieser Erkenntnisse ziehen wir Schlüsse dazu, welche Bereiche in einer angeleiteten Reflexion im Unterricht fokussiert werden sollten, um das maximale Potenzial der Spiele auszuschöpfen. Dazu wird zunächst ein Modell entwickelt, das beschreibt, welche Ebenen der Reflexion im Kontext digitaler Spiele zu Gesellschaftsthemen betrachtet werden sollen. Anschliessend findet dieses Modell Einsatz in einer qualitativen Interviewstudie mit jungen Spielenden. Es zeigt sich unter anderem, dass eine gute Basis für die Reflexion durch intensive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Spielsystem besteht, aber auch dass insbesondere eine kritische Reflexion der Realitätsnähe der Spiele sowie eine Meta-Reflexion des Mediums einer Unterstützung im Unterricht bedarf.

The increase in online sales transactions has continued to increase due to several factors, such as the improvement of Internet quality, the growth of start-ups in Indonesia, and the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects, which have restricted customers from making purchases offline. The research aimed to identify different types of direct and indirect influences that caused customers to make purchase decisions for fashion products and determine more dominant group (women or men) on e-commerce platforms and social media. The research applied a quantitative method. The research respondents were 244 customers who bought fashion products in e-commerce and social media. The analytical tools were Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0, convergence and discrimination invalidity for the validity test, composite reliability for the reliability test, and structural model evaluation (inner model). The findings indicate that all aspects of product quality, trust, and customer loyalty have a huge impact on buying fashion products in e-commerce and social media. Moreover, in the indirect effect, product quality affects customer loyalty through trust. Similarly, product quality impacts purchase choices through customer loyalty. Trust also affects purchase choices through customer loyalty. Then, product quality affects purchase decisions through trust. Last, product quality has an impact on purchase decisions through customer loyalty and trust. Additionally, the results of PLS-MGA show that women are more dominant in buying fashion products on e-commerce and social media than men.

Published: June 2023

An important component of the Swachh Bharat Mission is the construction of community sanitary complexes (CSCs) to address the unmet need for sanitation for households. The success, however, critically hinges on the operational management of CSCs. We examine the functioning status of CSCs in rural areas of five Indian states. Furthermore, we study the association between alternative management arrangements with the functioning and maintenance status of the CSCs. A principal component analysis-based CSC functioning index is created based on the maintenance indicators and sanitary items to identify better-performing CSCs. The mixed-effects logistic regression analysis was applied to examine the association between management arrangement for maintenance and CSC functioning index. Four in every five CSCs were directly managed by the Gram Panchayat. Over 90% of the CSCs have running water supply but electricity connection and lighting arrangement were available in 66.1 and 55.1% CSCs, respectively. The econometric analysis finds that CSCs managed by worship area groups or those managed by village CSC user-groups have better CSC maintenance status. The cleaning frequency of the CSC has a significant association with CSC functioning status. The operational management of CSCs is an area for further policy attention for sustained community sanitation efforts.

Published: June 2023

This study aimed to assess the level of JMP ladders for WASH services. A cross-sectional study was conducted. Forty-four healthcare facilities were enrolled. From each healthcare facility, water samples were collected directly from water storage facilities. In addition to the interview, an observational checklist was used. Descriptive statistics and a chi-square test were conducted to analyze the data. The coverage of advanced and basic drinking water services in healthcare facilities was 4.6 and 70.4%, respectively. However, the healthcare facilities’ access to advanced and basic sanitation services was nil. Similarly, 61.4 and 88.6% of the healthcare facilities had no hygiene and waste disposal services, respectively. While 2.6, 4.5, and 75% of healthcare facilities had advanced, basic, and limited environmental cleaning services, 18.2% lacked environmental cleaning services. Water samples of 15.9, 11.4, and 6.8% of the healthcare facilities were found positive for total coliforms, fecal coliforms, and E. coli, respectively. The WASH services of the healthcare facilities were very low and not on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal target. Healthcare facilities could be sources of healthcare-associated infections. Hence, the government and other concerned bodies should take urgent action to improve WASH services.
Defining sustainability in agricultural water management using a Delphi survey technique
Authors: Dahal Bishal , Avellán Tamara , Haghighi Ali Torabi , Kløve Bjørn
Published: June 2023

Sustainable water management measures are being developed to address the challenges posed by agriculture runoff and leaching on water resources. These measures are based on experts' opinions from various sectors and disciplines, ensuring that all stakeholders' perspectives are considered. For this, establishing a common understanding of 'sustainability' is essential to avoid misunderstandings, conflicts, and operational challenges. In this research, the Delphi survey technique was utilized to develop a definition of ‘sustainability’ in agricultural water management (SAWM) by considering the interdisciplinary group of experts from different parts of the world and those involved in a Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action. Twenty-six experts' perspectives on environmental, economic, and social dimensions of sustainability were assessed, and identified key concepts included climate change, water quality, water availability, stakeholder participation, capacity building, subsidies, and incentives. These concepts were used to define sustainability for multi/interdisciplinary project settings. The definition was validated with consortium members of the project in the regular consortium-wide meetings and used in the respective deliverables dealing with sustainability. The results serve as a foundation for communication between the involved actors and the project's definition of 'sustainability.' One recommendation from this work for broader policy formulation for SAWM in Europe is to prioritize farmer needs and focus on environmental sustainability.
Comparison of the adsorption capacity and mechanisms of mixed heavy metals in wastewater by sheep manure biochar and Robinia pseudoacacia biochar
Authors: Wang Siqi , Li Xin , Zhu Yali
Published: June 2023

Under various pyrolysis temperatures, the characteristics and heavy metal adsorption capabilities of biochar obtained from sheep manure (SMB) and Robinia pseudoacacia (RPB) were studied. The results indicated that SMB had higher yields, pH values, and ash contents than RPB. SMB3 and RPB3 have more oxygen-containing functional groups, whereas SMB8 and RPB8 have higher aromaticity and polarity. The maximum adsorption capacities of SMB for Pb2+ (20.2 mg·g−1), Cu2+ (13.9 mg·g−1), Cd2+ (3.2 mg·g−1), and total heavy metals (37.3 mg·g−1) were obtained by SMB3. However, the maximum adsorption capacities of RPB for Pb2+ (7.4 mg·g−1) and Cu2+ (10.5 mg·g−1) were obtained by RPB8. Furthermore, SMB and RPB had relatively higher adsorption capacities for Pb2+ and Cu2+ than for Cd2+. The pseudo-second-order model and the Freundlich Langmuir model provided a good fit to the adsorption kinetics and isotherms, indicating that chemical adsorption was dominant in the heavy metal adsorption by SMB and RPB. According to the contribution of various mechanisms, ion exchange and mineral precipitation were the primary mechanisms responsible for RPB8, while functional group complexation was the dominant mechanism for SMB3. This study provided important information on the comprehensive recycling utilization of SMB and RPB and promoted sustainable development.
Alkaloids as Potential Anti-HIV Agents
Authors: Rani Nidhi , Singh Randhir , Kumar Praveen , Sharma Prerna , Kaur Rajwinder , Arora Rashmi , Singh Thakur Gurjeet
Published: June 2023

Background:

Alkaloids are nitrogen-containing compounds that are naturally occurring
and have a variety of biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. In this study, the authors
used a molecular docking approach to evaluate the anti-HIV potential of 64 alkaloids.

Methods:

The authors used the Molegro Virtual Docker software to dock the alkaloids into the active
sites of three HIV enzymes: protease, integrase, and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase
(NNRT). The docking scores were used to assess the potential of the alkaloids to inhibit the enzymes.

Results:

The results showed the alkaloids to have good potential to inhibit the enzymes. Tubocurarine
and reserpine were found to be the most potent alkaloids, with docking scores of -123.776 and -
114.956, respectively.

Conclusion:

The authors concluded that tubocurarine and reserpine could be further promoted as
potential lead molecules for the development of new anti-HIV drugs.
Ionic liquid Supported Quinuclidine Catalyzed Morita-Baylis-Hillman
Reaction
Authors: Srivastava Vivek
Published: June 2023

The Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction is an important method for forming carboncarbon
bonds between carbonyl-containing compounds and activated olefins. However, the slow reaction
rate with electron-rich electrophilic partners has limited its wider use. To overcome this drawback,
the effects of pyridinium-based ionic liquids mediated quinuclidine catalytic system for MBH
reactions were studied. The method is simple, involving neat and open-flask conditions, and is compatible
with a wide range of reagents. We offered general pyridinium-based ionic liquids-mediated
quinuclidine catalysis mechanism that is responsible for the observed rate increase. The synthetic versatility
of the MBH adducts is demonstrated by the synthesis of important building blocks for the natural
product (-)-sitophilure. The authors anticipate that this pyridinium-based ionic liquids-mediated
quinuclidine protocol could serve as a general methodology for the MBH reaction. In summary, the
study presents a simple and effective method to enhance the reaction rate of the MBH reaction. The
authors believe this method has the potential for broader applications and may contribute to developing
new synthetic strategies for organic synthesis. We successfully recycled the catalytic system up to
7 runs without losing any catalytic activity.

Type 1
Authors: Flotyńska Justyna , Szybiak Weronika , Naskręt Dariusz , Zozulińska-Ziółkiewicz Dorota , Grzelka-Woźniak Agata , Uruska Aleksandra
Published: June 2023

Background:

The article aims to present the most popular methods of assessing physical
capacity. Moreover, the article sheds light on the beneficial impact of improving physical capacity
in people with Diabetes Mellitus type 1 (DM1).

Methods:

A computer-based literature search of PubMed, SCOPUS and Web of Science included
studies up to September 2022.

Results:

The significant role of regular physical exertion could be observed in the group of people
suffering from DM1, which implicates a positive correlation between the activity and the remission
time. A suitable and objective indicator of sport influence on the organism is physical capacity
(PC), which describes the efficiency of the cardiovascular system and its correlation between BMI,
sex, and age. PC is mostly shown as VO2max. Well metabolically controlled DM1 is not a contraindication
to stress test. Even though physical activity is closely related to human history, the range
of research into the importance of PC is still limited to particular groups of patients, which presents
an opportunity for further research and future conclusions.

Conclusions:

Undertaking physical activities has a multidirectional influence on the organism. According
to up-to-date knowledge, various methods of PC assessment are available. Patients can
choose more easily accessible, simpler, and cheaper options like CRT, RT, and HST which do not
need specialized equipment and skills. They can also decide on more advanced examinations like
ergospirometry, where direct measurements of VO2max and other cardiorespiratory parameters are
made.

Cancer
Authors: Kurniasari Fuadiyah Nila , Susetyowati Susetyowati , Hardianti Mardiah Suci , Cempaka Anggun Rindang
Published: June 2023

Background:

Malnutrition often occurs in patients with cancer, which eventually leads
to decreasing response to therapy and increased morbidity and mortality rate. Oral Nutrition Supplements
(ONS) are necessary to provide additional nutritional intervention to prevent and treat
malnutrition in cancer patients. Purple sweet potato is a local food that is abundantly available in
Indonesia and can be utilized as a basic ingredient for producing a modified ONS formula that is
not only high in nutritional value but also has good physical quality.

Objective:

This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional value and physical quality of purple sweet
potato-based ONS.

Methods:

A new local food-based formula was formulated by using purple sweet potato as the main
ingredient. This new formula, which was then mentioned as the treatment formula, was subsequently
compared with the control formula. The control formula was made from ingredients commonly
used for producing ONS in hospitals in Indonesia, such as milk powder, sugar, oil, and other additives
such as maltodextrin and creamer. Meanwhile, the treatment formula was labelled into three
treatment formulas based on the differences in the proportions of white egg flour and whey protein
as a protein source in each treatment formula. The treatment formula was formulated by using local
ingredients of purple sweet potato flour and egg white flour by adding whey protein, extra virgin
olive oil, omega-3 powder, sugar, and creamer. A proximate analysis was conducted to analyze the
nutrient content of the formula and the viscosity and osmolarity tests were conducted to evaluate the
physical qualities of the formula. The laboratory analysis results were described as descriptive data,
then analyzed by using One-Way ANOVA. The determination of the best treatment formula in the
form of effectiveness (Nh).

Results:

The results of the proximate test and physical quality showed that the best formula based
on the highest Nh value of 0.75 was P3 with 245 kcal energy, 8.8 g (14%) protein, 6.5 g (24%) fat,
and 37.8 g (62%) carbohydrate, viscosity 28.1 cP, and osmolarity 492.3 mOsm (iso-osmolar) per
serving size (200 ml).

Conclusion:

Formula P3 which contains more egg white flour than whey protein is the best formula
that has the best nutritional value and good physical quality.
The Use of Midazolam as an Antiseizure Medication in Neonatal Seizures:
Single Center Experience and Literature Review
Authors: Falsaperla Raffaele , Collotta Ausilia Desiree , Sortino Vincenzo , Marino Simona Domenica , Marino Silvia , Pisani Francesco , Ruggieri Martino
Published: June 2023

Background:

Existing therapeutic alternatives for neonatal crises have expanded in recent
decades, but no consensus has been reached on protocols based on neonatal seizures. In particular, little
is known about the use of midazolam in newborns.

Aim:

The aim of our study is to evaluate the response to midazolam, the appearance of side effects,
and their impact on therapeutic decisions.

Methods:

This is a STROBE-conformed retrospective observational study of 10 patients with neonatal
seizures unresponsive to common antiseizure drugs, admitted to San Marco University Hospital’s neonatal
intensive care (Catania, Italy) from September 2015 to October 2022. In our database search, 36
newborns were treated with midazolam, but only ten children met the selection criteria for this study.

Results:

Response was assessed both clinically and electrographic. Only 4 patients at the end of the
treatment showed a complete electroclinical response; they were full-term infants with a postnatal age
greater than 7 days. Non-responders and partial responders are all premature (4/10) or full-term neonates
who started therapy in the first days of life (< 7th day) (2/10).

Conclusion:

Neonatal seizures in preterm show a lower response rate to midazolam than seizures in
full-term infants, with poorer prognosis. Liver and renal function and central nervous system development
are incomplete in premature infants and the first days of life. In this study, we show that midazolam,
a short-acting benzodiazepine, appears to be most effective in full-term infants and after 7
days of life.
A Review on the Role of Nitric Oxide in the Pathophysiology and
Management of Sars- Cov-2 Disease
Authors: Chadha Sonia , Mukherjee Sayali , Sanyal Somali
Published: June 2023

SARS-CoV-2, first emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and its rapid transmission
led to the declaration of a pandemic by WHO. Nitric oxide is involved in SARS CoV-2 disease and its
antiviral effects have prompted its use in the therapeutic management of SARS CoV-2. The effects of NO
are concentration dependent. Local and controlled production of NO by the constitutive nitric oxide synthase
appears beneficial, while overproduction due to inducible nitric oxide synthase may lead to cell
destruction and tissue damage. The review discusses the role of nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of
COVID-19 and its use as a probable therapeutic intervention preventing its progress to a more severe
form.

Authors: Mursalat Aksal , Haryono Iranita
Published: June 2023

This study aims to determine the marketing channel model of ginger, analyze the marketing efficiency of ginger and analyze the added value resulting from the innovation of ginger products into ginger powder in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. This goal is based on several problems encountered when conducting the initial survey, such as ginger farmers only getting a small profit because they only market their products in the form of raw or unprocessed ginger so there is a significant difference in selling prices at the farmer level. This research's data analysis method consists of qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative analysis was used to identify marketing channels for ginger in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. In contrast, quantitative analysis was used to determine marketing efficiency and the amount of added value resulting from the innovation of ginger products into ginger powder using the Hayami method. The results showed that the marketing channel for ginger in Panca Lautang District, Sidenreng Rapppang Regency consisted of Farmers - Collectors - Retailers - Consumers. From these results, there are two marketing institutions in the ginger marketing channel, namely collectors and retailers. The value of the marketing margin obtained through the ginger marketing channel which is the difference between the price paid by consumers and the price received by farmers is Rp. 8,500. The value of a farmer's share in the ginger marketing channel is based on the price received by farmers from the final consumer price of 66% with a profit ratio of 6.9 which indicates that the ginger marketing channel in Panca Lautang District, Sidenreng Rapppang Regency can be said to be efficient. The added value of processing ginger into powdered ginger is Rp. 79,000/kg with a value-added ratio of 39.50% and a profit of Rp. 74,000 or 37%. The large percentage of processing profits indicates that selling powdered ginger processing products is more profitable than selling fresh products.

Purpose of research. The recursive algorithm for painting recognized areas on a binarized image and extracting the contours of a color mark, in order to find the minimum time for counting the number of filled pixels in a recognized mark, was developed in the article.Methods. The region filling algorithm in the image is based on the recursive method. The algorithm begins the work from the central point of the image and analyzes the presence of unshaded pixels in adjacent cells. In the article is considered the definition of the shortest time for filling the recognized area in eight directions: east-south-west-north, east-north-west-south, southeast-northwest, southwest-northeast, west-south-east-north, west-north-east-south, north-east-south-west, north west south east. The algorithm contains several stages: checking the exit from the recursion provided that all areas are filled, filling the initial cell, filling the elements in four directions from the starting point, counting the number of filled elements.Results. A recursive algorithm for filling recognized areas on a binarized image with the possibility of highlighting the contours of a recognized mark has been developed. The direction of the optimal bypass, which has the shortest time in relation to other considered directions, is determined. The testing was carried out for cycles with 10, 50 and 100 iterations. According to the presented algorithm, a specialized software model was created. The number of the certificate of state registration of the computer program "Program for filling a recognized mark" is 2023612631.Conclusion. The results of experimental studies showed that for a cycle value of 10 iterations, the best time to fill the area is 12762 msec, for a cycle value of 50 iterations, the best time is 76008 msec, for a cycle value of 100 iterations, the best time is 160568 msec. The minimum average time to complete the filling operation was 84357 msec, therefore, the best of the eight pass combinations turned out to be the direction - north-east-south-west.

Published: June 2023

Background

Interpretation bias modification (IBM) and approach bias modification (ApBM) cognitive retraining interventions can be efficacious adjunctive treatments for improving social anxiety and alcohol use problems. However, previous trials have not examined the combination of these interventions in a young, comorbid sample.

Objective

This study aims to describe the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a web-based IBM+ApBM program for young adults with social anxiety and hazardous alcohol use (“Re-Train Your Brain”) when delivered in conjunction with treatment as usual (TAU).

Methods

The study involved a 3-arm randomized controlled pilot trial in which treatment-seeking young adults (aged 18-30 y) with co-occurring social anxiety and hazardous alcohol use were randomized to receive (1) the “integrated” Re-Train Your Brain program, where each session included both IBM and ApBM (50:50 ratio), plus TAU (35/100, 35%); (2) the “alternating” Re-Train Your Brain program, where each session focused on IBM or ApBM in an alternating pattern, plus TAU (32/100, 32%); or (3) TAU only (33/100, 33%). Primary outcomes included feasibility and acceptability, and secondary efficacy outcomes included changes in cognitive biases, social anxiety symptoms, and alcohol use. Assessments were conducted at baseline, after the intervention period (6 weeks after baseline), and 12 weeks after baseline.

Results

Both Re-Train Your Brain program formats were feasible and acceptable for young adults. When coupled with TAU, both integrated and alternating programs resulted in greater self-reported improvements than TAU only in anxiety interpretation biases (at the 6-week follow-up; Cohen d=0.80 and Cohen d=0.89) and comorbid interpretation biases (at the 12-week follow-up; Cohen d=1.53 and Cohen d=1.67). In addition, the alternating group reported larger improvements over the control group in generalized social anxiety symptoms (at the 12-week follow-up; Cohen d=0.83) and alcohol cravings (at the 6-week follow-up; Cohen d=0.81). There were null effects on all other variables and no differences between the intervention groups in efficacy outcomes.

Conclusions

Should these findings be replicated in a larger randomized controlled trial, Re-Train Your Brain has the potential to be a scalable, low-cost, and non–labor-intensive adjunct intervention for targeting interpretation and comorbidity biases as well as generalized anxiety and alcohol-related outcomes in the real world.

Ecosystem Service Potentials and Underlying Influences in a Tropical Rainforest Ecosystem
Authors: I. Igu Nwabueze, , Ayogu Chinero, N. , Eburu Peter, I.
Published: June 2023

Tropical ecosystems have vast array of ecosystem services but are largely un-quantified. This study explored the capacity of rainforest ecosystems to deliver ecosystem services and inherent influences that determine such. Forest plots measuring 50m × 50m were set up in 14 locations and used for tree enumeration. Soil samples were collected at four edges and middle of each plot at 0-30cm depth, bulked and analyzed. Aboveground, belowground and soil carbon, and biodiversity variables were equally conducted according to standard procedures. Pearson correlation and regression were used to verify aboveground and belowground carbon relationships and relationships between elevation and carbon capacities, respectively. 85 species within 32 families were enumerated across the ecosystem. Biodiversity patterns showed a diversity index of 3.376, relative dominance of Dialium guineense Willd., (54.34%) and seven other species with ? 1% dominance. Species within the ecosystem possessed provisioning and regulating ecosystem values. Carbon estimates showed aboveground biomass range of 1.73 – 6.50 t/ha-1, percentage soil carbon and soil organic carbon ranges of 4.76 – 8.80% and 17.78 – 91.3 t/ha-1, respectively. Elevation did not generally influence the carbon stock of the ecosystem, but had some influence on percentage soil carbon. Effective strategies that would address the reductions in the services were advocated.

Authors:   HSE University, Moscow, Russian Federation, Stankevich Ivan
Published: June 2023

The paper investigates the application of Markov‐Switching MIDAS (Mixed Data Sampling) models to nowcasting of Russian GDP and its components. Different methods to get the resulting nowcast based on nowcasts under different regimes are proposed: weighted by regime probabilities, most probable regime, and perfectly predicted regime nowcasts. The model obtained is compared with standard econometric nowcasting models. Among all the models tested, Markov‐Switching MIDAS model with perfectly predicted regime yields the best results for most of the series analyzed. MS MIDAS models without perfect regime foresight also perform better than standard MIDAS models and MFBVAR models for most of the series analyzed.

Published: June 2023

This paper investigated the causality between expenditures and revenues of consolidated regional budgets of 83 subjects of the Russian Federation in the period from 2002 to 2019. Based on panel data, the Granger‐causality test was implemented with the calculation of critical values using the bootstrapping procedure for each individual region. The analysis is based on indicating the direction of the relationship between expenditures and revenues of regional budgets in the context of four hypotheses: “tax-spend”, “spend-tax”, “fiscal synchronization” and “fiscal disunity”. It has been shown that 25% of Russian regions fulfill the “tax-spend” hypothesis, 7% — “spend-tax” hypothesis, 47% — “fiscal synchronization” hypothesis, and 20% —“fiscal disunity” hypothesis. Regions in the “fiscal disunity” group are characterized by a high level of public debt, which for one‐third of them may create risks for their fiscal sustainability, and subsequently risks for the federal budget.
