Authors: Gopalakrishnan S. , Prabakaran M. , Ramkumar P.
Published: August 2023

In 1948, Vannever Bush gave initial thoughts towards the concept of a public memory in the form of memex – a device named by him for the storage of library documents. In 1965, Licklider continued the thread given by Bush and discussed the concept of networked information environment. The advent of digital documents made many over imagine a situation that may substitute the printed books. Many came out with speculations about the future of libraries which were exclusively dealing with printed books till 1960s. Future of libraries then was discussed in the context of print and paper. All such speculations fixed a deadline for the extinction of the printed book and the advent of a paperless society. In 1978, Lancaster in his paper fixed 1989 – a period of 20 years from his date of prophecy for the death of the book and the maturity of a paperless society. What happened to the prophecies? This paper provides an overview of all such speculations and an answer in view of the real life situation in library environment.

Laurent Series and Puiseux Series in Maple
Authors: Gonzalez Trochez Juan Pablo , Moreno Maza Marc , Postma Erik , Calder Matt
Published: August 2023

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The field of fractions of the ring of formal multivariate power series over K, is called the field of formal multivariate Laurent series. In this document, we follow the ideas introduced by Monforte and Kauers in their paper Formal Laurent Series in Several Variables. Our objective is to report on a first implementation of formal multivariate Laurent series inside of Maple, and explain the challenges we had to overcome. In order to accomplish this goal, we make use of the already existing MultitivariatePowerSeries package, and its lazy evaluation scheme. In particular, we expose our ideas for adding and multiplying Laurent series with support inside different cones, where the support of a Laurent series is the set of all exponents of all non-zero monomials of our series. We also describe our biggest challenge, how to invert a Laurent series. Unfortunately, this problem cannot be completely solved in a lazy evaluation context. We describe some situations where we can solve the problem completely; our approach for the cases that fall outside of these situations; and how we let the user customize this approach, trading off between speed and the likelihood of an incorrect result.

The algebraic closure of the field of formal multivariate Laurent series is call the field of formal multivariate Puiseux series. As an extension of our current work, we also present our ideas for an implementation of a multivariate Puiseux series object inside of Maple.
Traduções medievais do Meditationes do Pseudo-Bernardo: as tradições portuguesa e espanhola
Authors: Macedo da Fonseca Raul Antero
Published: August 2023

Este trabalho tem por objetivo estudar a relação existente entre alguns dos testemunhos ibero-romances com traduções medievais do pequeno tratado intitulado Meditationes piissimae de cognitione humanae conditionis, tradicionalmente atribuído –ao que parece, indevidamente– a São Bernardo de Claraval. Pretende-se mostrar, através do estudo dos erros significativos presentes nesses textos, que os dois testemunhos portugueses subsistentes são independentes entre si, mas dependentes de um terceiro, também português, hoje perdido ou desconhecido. Analisam-se igualmente os testemunhos espanhóis dessa mesma obra e põe-se em evidência a afinidade existente entre parte dos testemunhos dessas duas tradições. Por fim, procura-se demonstrar que a tradução medieval portuguesa não deriva diretamente do latim, mas de uma das traduções espanholas.
Manuscritos, creación poética, traducción: los testimonios del primer arribo de la Commedia de Dante a Castilla de la mano de Imperial, Santillana y Villena
Authors: Hamlin Cinthia María
Published: August 2023

En este artículo presento las tres vías o modalidades absolutamente imbricadas a través de las cuales la Commedia de Dante ingresó en Castilla: la de la «creación poética», la de los «manuscritos» y la de la «traducción». Intentaré dar cuenta de cómo estas vías son a tal punto interdependientes que no podemos entender una sin la otra o, en otras palabras, cómo el estudio profundo de una nos llevará a preguntarnos y a extraer conclusiones acerca de la otra. Especial centralidad tendrá la figura de Imperial y el estudio del Dezir de las siete virtudes, pues en él la técnica de la traducción, más allá de ser fundamental en el proceso creativo, permite identificar lecciones deturpadas en la copia, de las que propondré nuevas enmiendas. Mi análisis, asimismo, partirá del rol fundamental que tanto Francisco Imperial como el Marqués de Santillana y Enrique de Villena tuvieron en la aclimatación de Dante en Castilla. Palabras clave: Divina Commedia, aclimatación en Castilla, manuscritos, traducción, creación..

EXTERNALITY AND THE PROBLEM OF OPTIMUM PRODUCTION OF THE COVID 19 VACCINE
Authors: DAYIOĞLU Tuğba , AYDIN Yılmaz
Published: August 2023

The COVID 19 pandemic, a new type of coronavirus, started about a year and a half ago. The rapidly developing COVID-19 pandemic has not only put many countries in the world into a health crisis; but also increasingly brought along economic and social crises. According to economic theory, the optimum production level of goods that emit positive externalities under free market conditions remains below the socially desirable amount. Since externality requires consideration of societal benefits and costs rather than private benefits and private costs, the state should be a regulator in the market. The COVID 19 vaccine is heavily subsidized and consumption expenditures are insufficient and covered by the public. Despite this, a proposal to waive the intellectual property right was put forward to ensure social immunity as soon as possible by increasing the rate of vaccination at the global level; however, no consensus has been reached. In this study, the lack of COVID 19 vaccine supply and how to remove the restrictions on this issue are discussed. In the first chapter, the concept of public goods is explained in detail. The subject of the second part is the intervention of the state in the production of externalities and goods that create externalities. In the third and last part, the inadequacy of the COVID 19 vaccine supply and the measures to be taken to increase the supply is discussed.

Published: August 2023

This study delves into the impact of foreign direct investment inflows, political institutions, trade openness, and economic growth within seven developing trade partner nations. Using panel data from 1996 to 2021 and a method called "dynamic fixed effects," our work shows interesting dynamics. FDI has emerged as a potent driver of economic growth with a positive influence. Surprisingly, this study revealed an inverse relationship between trade openness and economic growth. Notably, political institutions’ catalytic role in stimulating both trade and investment inflows further amplifies the economic growth trajectory. These findings provide policymakers with invaluable insights and offer a nuanced perspective on crafting effective sustainable development strategies.
Gut microbiome on immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy and consequent immune-related colitis: a review
Authors: Hwang Sung Wook , Kim Min Kyu , Kweon Mi-Na

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have dramatically revolutionized the therapeutic landscape for patients with advanced malignancies. Recently, convincing evidence has shown meaningful influence of gut microbiome on human immune system. With the complex link between gut microbiome, host immunity and cancer, the variations in the gut microbiota may influence the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Indeed, some bacterial species have been reported to be predictive for cancer outcome in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors are currently proven to be an effective anti-tumor treatment, they can induce a distinct form of toxicity, termed immune-related adverse events. Immune-related colitis is one of the common toxicities from immune checkpoint inhibitors, and it might preclude the cancer therapy in severe or refractory cases. The manipulation of gut microbiome by fecal microbiota transplantation or probiotics administration has been suggested as one of the methods to enhance anti-tumor effects and decrease the risk of immune-related colitis. Here we review the role of gut microbiome on immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy and consequent immune-related colitis to provide a new insight for better anti-cancer therapy.

This paper discusses the “diminished value” concept in automobile insurance and examines the variances in state laws regarding first- and third-party diminished value claims. The factors that impact diminished value are identified, including certain intangible factors that cannot be measured or quantified. The existing methods employed for calculating diminished value are presented. In conclusion, insurance providers, regulators, courts, and lawmakers are invited to further consider the topic of interest and make adjustments to improve the predictability of diminished value claims.
Hemodynamic Deconvolution Demystified: Sparsity-Driven Regularization at Work

Published: August 2023

Deconvolution of the hemodynamic response is an important step to access short timescales of brain activity recorded by functional

magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Albeit conventional deconvolution algorithms have been around for a long time (e.g., Wiener deconvolution), recent state-of-the-art methods based on sparsity-pursuing regularization are attracting increasing interest to investigate brain dynamics and connectivity with fMRI. This technical note revisits the main concepts underlying two main methods, paradigm free mapping and total activation, in the most accessible way. Despite their apparent differences in the formulation, these methods are theoretically equivalent as they represent the synthesis and analysis sides of the same problem, respectively. We demonstrate this equivalence in practice with their best-available implementations using both simulations, with different signal-to-noise ratios, and experimental fMRI data acquired during a motor task and resting state. We evaluate the parameter settings that lead to equivalent results and showcase the potential of these algorithms compared to other common approaches. This note is useful for practitioners interested in gaining a better understanding of state-of-the-art hemodynamic deconvolution and aims to answer questions that practitioners often have regarding the differences between the two methods.
CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS OF PAKISTAN: A HISTORICAL STUDY
Authors: Nasir Abbas
Published: August 2023

After a long struggle of Muslims of All India, Pakistan came into being on 14th August 1947. Indian Independence Act 1947 gave power to the two states India and Pakistan to partially modify the Govt of India Act 1935. That’s why Pakistan was ruled under Indian Independence Act which was an amended version of Govt. Of India Act 1935. Under this Act, Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinah took oath as the first Governor General of Pakistan while Quaid-i-Millat Liaqat Ali Khan took oath as the first Prime Minister of Pakistan. Under this Act, the Governor General of Pakistan would have to be the representative of British Crown until Pakistan formulates its own Constitution. So, immediate formulation of its own constitution was a challenge for the new born country. According to Indian Independence Act, the first constitutional Assembly of Pakistan was formulated in 1947. Its responsibility was to work rapidly for the formulation of new constitution for Pakistan. First Constitutional Assembly further, framed a Basic Principles Committee to decide the lines on which the new constitution should be based. The findings of the Basic Principles Committee were contained in a document called the Objective Resolution, which was passed on 12 March 1949. Basic Principles Committee presented two reports which were thought controversial and no result could be reached. On 24 October 1954, Ghulam Muhammad the then Governor General of Pakistan dissolved the first Constitutional Assembly without reaching the objectives of constitution formation. A second Constitutional Assembly was formulated by Governor General Ghulam Muhammad. After the death of Ghulam Muammad, Iskandar Mirza became new Governor General of Pakistan. He brought revolutionary changes in Pakistan’s administration in order to reach the first constitution for Pakistan. Finally, on 29 February 1956 Pakistan’s first constitution was adopted, which was enforced on 23 March 1956.
