N,N-Diarylthiazol-5-amines: Structure-Specific Mechanofluorochromism and White Light Emission in the Solid State
Authors: Tsuchiya Yuki , Yamaguchi Kirara , Miwa Yohei , Kutsumizu Shoichi , Minoura Mao , Murai Toshiaki
Published: April 2020

A range of N,N-diarylthiazol-5-amines having a 4-pyridyl group on a thiazole ring were developed, and their photophysical properties were elucidated. Their synthesis was achieved by applying our methods to the combination of N-arylmethyl secondary thioamides and N,N-diarylthioformamides. This enabled us to obtain amines with different types of aromatic groups on the nitrogen atom. Their absorption and emission spectra in solution were examined. The 4-pyridyl group gives higher polarity to the amines. The solid-state emissions of the amines were also evaluated. Several amines showed mechanofluorochromism (MFC). A 4-pyridyl group on a thiazole ring was a requisite for the expression of MFC properties. Although N-(5-thiazolyl) N,N-di(2-naphthyl)amines did not exhibit MFC by grinding of the pristine powder, white-light emission was observed when the ground powder was fumed with acetone vapor.
Postconcussion Exertion Evolution: Clinical and Behavioral Considerations
Authors: Register-Mihalik Johna K. , Callahan Christine E.
Published: April 2020

The philosophy and practices concerning concussion management have evolved from passive to active strategies that incorporate immediate, guided rest followed by early integration of physical and cognitive activity as tolerated by symptoms. Recent research and clinical evidence support guidance that symptom tolerable and clinically guided activity is beneficial postconcussion both acutely and in the longer term. Furthermore, recent studies illustrate benefits of targeted deficit-based therapies (vestibular, cervicogenic, visual, psychological, etc.) postconcussion subacutely and in those with persistent symptoms. The dissemination of this new information occurs at a fast pace and is often difficult to rapidly integrate into clinical practice due to necessary policy and behavior changes. This review will outline recent evidence concerning both rest and exertion postconcussion through the lens of the socioecological model to more rapidly promote policy and practice changes.
Sulfonated inhibitors of the RNA editing ligases validate the essential role of the MRP1/2 proteins in kinetoplastid RNA editing

Published: April 2020

The RNA editing core complex (RECC) catalyzes mitochondrial U-insertion/deletion mRNA editing in trypanosomatid flagellates. Some naphthalene-based sulfonated compounds, such as C35 and MrB, competitively inhibit the auto-adenylylation activity of an essential RECC enzyme, kinetoplastid RNA editing ligase 1 (KREL1), required for the final step in editing. Previous studies revealed the ability of these compounds to interfere with the interaction between the editosome and its RNA substrates, consequently affecting all catalytic activities that comprise RNA editing. This observation implicates a critical function for the affected RNA binding proteins in RNA editing. In this study, using the inhibitory compounds, we analyzed the composition and editing activities of functional editosomes and identified the mitochondrial RNA binding proteins 1 and 2 (MRP1/2) as their preferred targets. While the MRP1/2 heterotetramer complex is known to bind guide RNA and promote annealing to its cognate pre-edited mRNA, its role in RNA editing remained enigmatic. We show that the compounds affect the association between the RECC and MRP1/2 heterotetramer. Furthermore, RECC purified post-treatment with these compounds exhibit compromised in vitro RNA editing activity that, remarkably, recovers upon the addition of recombinant MRP1/2 proteins. This work provides experimental evidence that the MRP1/2 heterotetramer is required for in vitro RNA editing activity and substantiates the hypothesized role of these proteins in presenting the RNA duplex to the catalytic complex in the initial steps of RNA editing.
False Re-Representations in Self-Knowledge
Authors: Pacholik-Żuromska Anita
Published: April 2020

Self-knowledge (SK) is a natural ability of the human cognitive system and is defined as a complex re-representation of knowledge subject has about her own internal states. It is composed of two basic representations: the representation of I and the representation of the experienced state. SK has a propositional (i.e. language-like) form and can be expressed in the form of self-reports like “I believe that I believe that p”. It has then the form of a second-order belief which, as a re-representation, generates the following problem concerning false representations: if the first-order representations of the I or of experienced states can be false like in cases of self-illusions or disorders like somatoparaphrenia, then how can error in self-cognition inherited by the re-representation (i.e. by SK) be avoided?I claim that the re-representational model of SK is a useful but artificial tool for the description of the components of SK; however, it is misleading to think of it as capturing the truth about SK. I propose here a representational model of SK which reduces those beliefs constituting SK to first-order beliefs which are sufficient as constituents of SK.
Identification and Estimation of Forward-Looking Behavior: The Case of Consumer Stockpiling
Authors: Ching Andrew T. , Osborne Matthew
Published: April 2020

Understanding how forward-looking consumers respond to price promotions in storable goods markets is an important area of research in empirical marketing and industrial organization. In prior work, researchers have assumed that consumers in these markets are very forward-looking, and calibrated their weekly discount factors to levels around 0.9995. This calibration has been used because earlier research has assumed that a consumer’s storage cost is a continuous function of inventory, which rules out exclusion restrictions that can be used to identify the discount factor. We show that by properly modeling storage cost as a step function of inventory (because storage cost depends on the number of packages stored, instead of the actual amount of inventory), natural exclusion restrictions arise that allow for the discount factor to be point identified. In an application to a storable good category, we find that weekly discount factors are very heterogeneous across consumers, and are on average 0.71. We show through a counterfactual exercise that if one used a model that fixed the discount factor to be consistent with the standard calibrated value, one would overpredict the effect of increased promotional depth for a product on its quantity sold by 18% in the short term, and 15% in the long term.
A Tangled Tale of Training and Talent: PhDs in Institutional Asset Management

Published: April 2020

Performance of investment products managed by firms in which PhDs play a key role is superior to the performance of products managed by otherwise similar firms. This relation is not a result of endogenous matching between firms and PhDs. Performance is related to training (the field of study) because economics or finance PhDs outperform other PhDs. Performance is also related to talent because PhDs who published in top outlets outperform other PhDs. Field-specific training is not relevant among the most talented PhDs because the performance gap between economics or finance PhDs and other PhDs disappears among published PhDs.

Steady-State Analysis of the Join-the-Shortest-Queue Model in the Halfin–Whitt Regime
Authors: Braverman Anton
Published: April 2020

This paper studies the steady-state properties of the join-the-shortest-queue model in the Halfin–Whitt regime. We focus on the process tracking the number of idle servers and the number of servers with nonempty buffers. Recently, Eschenfeldt and Gamarnik proved that a scaled version of this process converges, over finite time intervals, to a two-dimensional diffusion limit as the number of servers goes to infinity. In this paper, we prove that the diffusion limit is exponentially ergodic and that the diffusion scaled sequence of the steady-state number of idle servers and nonempty buffers is tight. Combined with the process-level convergence proved by Eschenfeldt and Gamarnik, our results imply convergence of steady-state distributions. The methodology used is the generator expansion framework based on Stein’s method, also referred to as the drift-based fluid limit Lyapunov function approach in Stolyar. One technical contribution to the framework is to show how it can be used as a general tool to establish exponential ergodicity.
Digital synthesis of multistage etalons based upon unequal cavity lengths
Authors: Iftikhar Faiza , Khan Usman A. , Cheema M. Imran
Published: April 2020

Fabry–Perot fiber etalons (FPEs) built from three or more reflectors are attractive for a variety of applications, including communication and sensing. In order to realize a desired transmission profile, usually multistage FPEs are designed with equal cavity lengths followed by a determination of the required reflectivities. As seen in previous works, however, fabricated reflectors may slightly differ from the designs, leading to a departure from the desired transmission profile of the FPE. Here, we show a novel digital synthesis of multistage etalons with off-the-shelf reflectors and unequal lengths of involved cavities. We find that, in contrast to equal cavity lengths, unequal lengths provide more poles in the

z

domain and hence more flexibility to achieve a desired multicavity FPE transmission response. For given reflectivities and by determining correct unequal lengths of a multicavity FPE with our synthesis technique, we demonstrate two design examples involving free spectral range enhancement and passband shaping. This work is generalizable to ring resonators and mirror- and fiber-Bragg-grating-based cavities, enabling the design and optimization of cavity systems for a wide range of applications, including lasers, sensors, and filters.

Authors: Zhao Di , Qian Jun , Ye Shuangli , Li Ying , Wang Jiawei
Published: April 2020

In this work, a hybrid structure of white electroluminescent (EL) devices has been designed. CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) are introduced as color convertors. The photometric and colorimetric characteristics of this device are further experimentally investigated with varying frequency and voltage. Compared with that of conventional white EL devices, this novel device achieves a twice luminance and more stable white light. Moreover, the concept of “color conversion index” is proposed to measure the color conversion ability of QDs in EL devices in consideration of human visual effect.

Published: April 2020

W centers are trigonal defects generated by self-ion implantation in silicon that exhibit photoluminescence at 1.218 µm. We have shown previously that they can be used in waveguide-integrated all-silicon light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Here we optimize the implant energy, fluence and anneal conditions to maximize the photoluminescence intensity for W centers implanted in silicon-on-insulator, a substrate suitable for waveguide-integrated devices. After optimization, we observe near two orders of magnitude improvement in photoluminescence intensity relative to the conditions with the stopping range of the implanted ions at the center of the silicon device layer. The previously demonstrated waveguide-integrated LED used implant conditions with the stopping range at the center of this layer. We further show that such light sources can be manufactured at the 300-mm scale by demonstrating photoluminescence of similar intensity from 300 mm silicon-on-insulator wafers. The luminescence uniformity across the entire wafer is within the measurement error.
Large mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB of hybrid atom-optomechanical systems in a highly unresolved sideband regime
Authors: Zhang Jian-Song , Chen Ai-Xi
Published: April 2020

We propose a scheme for the generation of strong mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB in hybrid atom-optomechanical systems in the highly unresolved sideband (HURSB) regime where the decay rate of cavity is much larger than the frequency of the mechanical oscillator. The system is formed by two two-level atomic ensembles and an optomechanical system with cavity driven by two lasers with different amplitudes. In the HURSB regime, the squeezing of the movable mirror can not be larger than 3dB if no atomic ensemble or only one atomic ensemble is put into the optomechanical system. However, if two atomic ensembles are put into the optomechanical system, the strong mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB is achieved even in the HURSB regime. Our scheme paves the way toward the implementation of strong mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB in hybrid atom-optomechanical systems in experiments.

Published: April 2020

We investigate the quantum walks of a single particle in a one-dimensional periodically kicked circuit quantum electrodynamics lattice. It is found that the dynamic process of the quantum walker is affected by the strength of incommensurate potentials and the driven periods of the system. We calculate the mean square displacement to illustrate the dynamic properties of the quantum walks, which shows that the localized process of the quantum walker presents the zero power-law index distribution. By calculating the mean information entropy, we find that the next-nearest-neighbor interactions have a remarkable deviation effects on the quantum walks and make a more stricter parameter condition for the localization of the quantum walker. Moreover, assisted by the lattice-based cavity input-output process, the localized features of circuit quantum electrodynamics lattice can be observed by measuring the average photon number of the cavity field in the steady state.
Confinement effect and low-defect density-induced long lifetime Er silicate nanowire embedded in silicon oxide film
Authors: Shen Hao , Gao Yuhan , Yang Deren , Li Dongsheng
Published: April 2020

In this study, we have developed a reduced Er-Er interaction strategy for pursuing long lifetime and high efficiency luminescence in Er compounds with higher Er concentration. Annealing temperature and atmosphere dependence of the optical properties from Er silicate nanowires embedded in silicon oxide films have been investigated. The record long lifetime α-Er2Si2O7 of 844 µs is achieved through simultaneously reducing defect density and Er-Er interaction. The low-defect density in the α-Er2Si2O7 nanowires is mainly attributed to following aspects: no hydroxyl groups contamination, effective surface passivation and saturation of oxygen vacancies. The interaction of Er-Er ions is confined by the alteration of phonon density of states effects in the α-Er2Si2O7 nanowires. More signiﬁcantly, the up-conversion emissions in the α-Er2Si2O7 nanowires also reduce effectively because of the nanoconfinement effect.

Published: April 2020

C-dot-based composites with phosphorescence have been widely reported due to their attractive potential in various applications. But easy quenching of phosphorescence induced by oxygen or instability of matrices remained a tricky problem. Herein, we reported a Si-doped-CD (Si-CD)-based RTP materials with long lifetime by embedding Si-CDs in sulfate crystalline matrices. The resultant Si-CD@sulfate composites exhibited a long lifetime up to 1.07 s, and outstanding stability under various ambient conditions. The intriguing RTP phenomenon was attributed to the C = O bond and the doping of Si element due to the fact that sulfates could effectively stabilize the triplet states of Si-CDs, thus enabling the intersystem crossing (ISC). Meanwhile, we confirmed that the ISC process and phosphorescence emission could be effectively regulated based on the heavy atom effect. This research introduced a new perspective to develop materials with regulated RTP performance and high stability.
Generation and synchronization of wideband chaos in semiconductor lasers subject to constant-amplitude self-phase-modulated optical injection
Authors: Zhao Anke , Jiang Ning , Chang Congcong , Wang Yajun , Liu Shiqin , Qiu Kun
Published: April 2020

We propose a novel wideband chaos generation scheme by using an external-cavity semiconductor laser (ECSL) subject to optical-electronic hybrid feedback. In this scheme, the output of ECSL is photo-detected and used to modulate the output of a continuous wave laser by an electro-optical phase modulator, the constant-amplitude self-phase-modulated light is then injected back into the ECSL. The experimental results indicate that, compared with the chaos generation with conventional optical feedback (COF), significant bandwidth enhancement is achieved in the proposed scheme. The effective bandwidth of generated chaos is increased from a few GHz to over 20 GHz, and moreover, the spectrum flatness and the complexity of generated chaos are also considerably improved. Furthermore, we propose a wideband chaos synchronization system based on the proposed chaos generation scheme. It is experimentally demonstrated that high-quality synchronization between two wideband chaos signals with an effective bandwidth greater than 20 GHz is achieved. This work simultaneously achieves the generation and the synchronization of wideband chaos, which shows valuable potential in chaos-based secure communication, such as enhancing the transmission capacity and improving the security.

Authors: Weber Ksenia , Wang Zhen , Thiele Simon , Herkommer Alois , Giessen Harald
Published: April 2020

In this Letter, we present a 3D-printed complex wide-angle multi-element Hypergon micro-objective, composed of aspherical lenses smaller than 1 mm, which exhibits distortion-free imaging performance. The objective is fabricated by a multi-step femtosecond two-photon lithography process. To realize the design, we apply a novel (to the best of our knowledge) approach using shadow evaporation to create highly non-transparent aperture stops, which are crucial components in many optical systems. We achieve a field-of-view (FOV) of 70°, at a resolution of 12.4 µm, and distortion-free imaging over the entire FOV. In the future, such objectives can be directly printed onto complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) imaging chips to produce extremely compact, high-quality image sensors to yield integrated sensor devices used in industry.
Thin-film perfect infrared absorbers over single- and dual-band atmospheric windows
Authors: Zhang Jihua , Wei Ran , ElKabbash Mohamed , Campbell E. Michael , Guo Chunlei
Published: April 2020

A thin-film perfect electromagnetic absorber with a tunable response in
the infrared (IR) region is proposed using a metal-dielectric-metal
configuration, which consists of a Ti top layer and a Ge spacer layer
on a Ti substrate. The thin-film structure simplifies the absorber
design by tuning the thicknesses of the two layers, which is suitable
for large-scale fabrication by matured deposition technologies. The
absorber supports perfect IR absorption with tunability from 3 µm to
over 15 µm. Furthermore, the total thickness is much smaller than the
wavelength, and the absorption has small iridescence. Based on this
design, we demonstrated two samples with one supporting single-band
absorption in the atmospheric absorption window (5–8 µm) and the other
one supporting dual-band absorption in the two atmospheric
transmission windows (3–5 and 8–13 µm). These absorption signatures
can find applications in IR invisibility and radiative cooling.

Pesticides are the major source of concern as water pollutants. Chlorpyrifos (CPY) (O,O-diethyl-O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl) phosphorothioate; CAS No. 2921-88-2). CPY is a widely used organophosphate insecticide. The aim of current study was to determine the effects of CPY on the second instar larvae of Culex mosquito as a bio-indicator of water pollution. Levels of CPY in stream water was evaluated. Toxicity of CPY was estimated on mosquito. Along with the evaluation of effects of water polluted with CPY on mosquito to predict the water pollution levels. Results showed that LC95 of CPY was 6331.30 mg/kg after 24hr and increased to 230506.4 ppm after 48hr of exposure. It was noted that the activity of CPY is concentration and time dependent. The 0.09 ppm concentration of CPY (the amount that was found in the stream water) had no effect on the second instar Culex larvae similar to the control (tap water). There is no effect after 72,96h of exposure of the population to the detected insecticide. It could be concluded that mosquito is not a bioindicator of CPY pollution at the detected level in stream water.

Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVE:

This study explored the association between light-to-moderate alcohol consumption (LMAC) and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

METHODS:

A 9-year cohort study was performed among Chinese men who underwent their annual health checkups between 2009 and 2018. NAFLD was diagnosed based on abdominal ultrasound with exclusion of excess alcohol intake and other causes of liver disease. Logistic regression and Cox proportional regression analyses were applied to identify the risk of prevalent and incident T2DM.

RESULTS:

Of the 7,079 participants enrolled, 243 had T2DM at baseline and 630 developed T2DM during the 45,456 person-years follow-up. Both at the baseline and by the end of the follow-up, LMAC was associated with a decreased risk of prevalent T2DM in NAFLD-free participants but with a significantly increased risk in patients with NAFLD. LMAC was also associated with a decreased risk of incident T2DM in NAFLD-free participants. The adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) of incident T2DM were 0.224 (0.115–0.437) and 0.464 (0.303–0.710) for NAFLD-free light drinkers and NAFLD-free moderate drinkers, respectively. Nondrinking, light-drinking, and moderate-drinking patients with NAFLD all showed significantly increased risks of incident T2DM. Compared with NAFLD-free nondrinkers, the adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) of incident T2DM were 1.672 (1.336–2.092), 2.642 (1.958–3.565), and 2.687 (2.106–3.427) for nondrinking, light-drinking, and moderate-drinking patients with NAFLD, respectively.

DISCUSSION:

LMAC decreased the risks of prevalent and incident T2DM in NAFLD-free participants. LMAC, however, was associated with an increased risk of T2DM in patients with NAFLD (ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT03847116).

Mesoporous silicas have properties that allow their wide chemical application, due to the large amount of silanol groups on their walls. The possibility of introducing functional groups inside and on the surface of their pores becomes viable the use of these functionalized mesoporous materials for the adsorption of metal ions. Cooper ions are essential for vital functions, but in high concentrations, they are responsible for causing problems to the human organism. Therefore, it is important to monitor the species in different media, such as sugar cane spirit. Mesoporous materials type MCM-41 functionalized were obtained by three different methods using direct (in situ) and indirect (post-synthesis) routes. The mesoporous materials have exhibited properties according to the IUPAC classification. Modified carbon paste electrodes (MCPEs) were prepared by immobilizing the synthesized materials for Cu2+ analysis. The modified electrode obtained by the immobilization of functionalized mesoporous R2 (MCPE/R2) presented the best sensitivity for Cu2+ detection. Under optimum experimental conditions, the MCPE/R2 exhibited a linear range in between 0.99 and 11.80 μmol L-1, a sensitivity based on the Limit of Detection (LOD) of 0.50 μmol L-1and Limit of Quantification (LOQ) of 0.99 μmol L-1, precision (DPRmáx) equals to 10.6% and recovery of 92.2%. The developed method proved to be efficient for Cu2+ determination in sugar cane spirit and the accuracy of the results were comparable to those obtained by AAS.

How Government Provide Legal Protection for Trade Secrets?
Authors: Alid Idul Hanzah , Ekaningsih Lailasari
Published: April 2020

Trade secret is a factor in the creation of innovation for a company to maintain its presence in the community. PT. CPM must identify information that is considered confidential trade before making attempts of legal protection of such information, because not all corporate information can be regarded as a trade secret. The identification is done by providing criteria for confidential information such as information that is not known by the public, has economic value, giving a loss if the information leaked and stolen. So PT. CPM has two attempts of legal protection of trade secrets. First, preventively is to have rules and regulations and written agreements between the parties relating to trade secret information PT. CPM. Second, repressive of protecting end to the measures for violations occurred. In case of violation, PT. CPM will solve the problem amicably. If it fails, then the next action to decide the employment of actors and reported to the authorities. Companies better make a written agreement between the parties in advance and posted to the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights in order to ensure the protection of the company's trade secrets.

The mathematical modelling of geological structures, i.e. magma intrusion or dyke, has been done,  based on magnetic data with inversion techniques using MatLab. The magnetic equation is a non-linear equation, and completion is done using a linear approach to non-linear mathematical models of magnetic data using the Taylor expansion approach and Jacobi Matrix. The first step of this research is to make synthetic data forward modelling from the magnetic equation of magma intrusion or dyke cases without errors, and the next stepping then add errors to the data. The next step is to do an inversion to get the parameters sought, i.e. depth and angle of the magma intrusion, by giving initial guesses, and then re-correct iteratively until convergent results are obtained. Finally, parameters of slope dyke or thin magma intrusion and its depth can be determined. The results obtained indicate that this technique can be used to get physical parameters sought from magnetic data for simple geological cases, i.e. dyke and magma intrusion.

Published: April 2020

Background: A right infra-axillary thoracotomy can offer excellent exposure of the mitral valve. This study evaluated this incision for high-risk patients undergoing redo mitral valve procedures.
Methods: Of a series of 189 patients who had redo mitral valve surgery, 32 were reoperated via vertical infra-axillary thoracotomy based on previous aortic valve replacement, dense adhesion, location of patent bypass grafts, and peripheral vascular disease.
Results: Sternotomy was avoided in all cases. The mitral valve was replaced in 22 patients and repaired in 10 patients; left atrial folding was performed in 6 patients. All patients had uneventful outcomes and normal valve function during follow-up.
Conclusions: Reoperative mitral valve surgeries can be performed safely using right infra-axillary thoracotomy in certain patients. The procedure offers excellent exposure of the mitral valve and minimizes the need for cardiac dissection, thus reducing injury risk. Avoiding a high risk of resternotomy increases patient comfort and safety.

Proper nervous system development is required for an organism’s survival and function. Defects in neurogenesis have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia and autism. Understanding the gene regulatory networks that orchestrate neural development, specifically cascades of proneural transcription factors, can better elucidate which genes are most important during early neurogenesis. Neurogenins are a family of deeply conserved factors shown to be both necessary and sufficient for the development of neural subtypes. However, the immediate downstream targets of neurogenin are not well characterized. The objective of this study was to further elucidate the role of ngn-1/neurogenin in nervous system development and to identify its downstream transcriptional targets, using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for this work. We found that ngn-1 is required for axon outgrowth, nerve ring architecture, and neuronal cell fate specification. We also showed that ngn-1 may have roles in neuroblast migration and epithelial integrity during embryonic development. Using RNA sequencing and comparative transcriptome analysis, we identified eight transcription factors (hlh-34/NPAS1, unc-42/PROP1, ceh-17/PHOX2A, lim-4/LHX6, fax-1/NR2E3, lin-11/LHX1, tlp-1/ZNF503, and nhr-23/RORB) whose transcription is activated, either directly or indirectly, by ngn-1. Our results show that ngn-1 has a role in transcribing known terminal regulators that establish and maintain cell fate of differentiated neural subtypes and confirms that ngn-1 functions as a proneural transcription factor in C. elegans neurogenesis.

OBJECTIVES:

Children born very preterm (VPT) are at an increased risk of developing mental health (MH) disorders. Our aim for this study was to assess rates of MH disorders in children born VPT and term at 13 years of age and stability of MH disorders between ages 7 and 13 years by using a diagnostic measure.

METHODS:

Participants were from the Victorian Infant Brain Study longitudinal cohort and included 125 children born VPT (<30 weeks’ gestational age and/or <1250 g) and 49 children born term (≥37 weeks’ gestational age) and their families. Participants were followed-up at both 7 and 13 years, and the Development and Well-Being Assessment was administered to assess for MH disorders.

RESULTS:

Compared with term peers, 13-year-olds born VPT were more likely to meet criteria for any MH disorder (odds ratio 5.9; 95% confidence interval 1.71–20.03). Anxiety was the most common disorder in both groups (VPT = 14%; term = 4%), whereas attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder carried the greatest differential elevated risk (odds ratio 5.6; 95% confidence interval 0.71–43.80). Overall rates of MH disorders remained stable between 7 and 13 years, although at an individual level, many participants shifted in or out of diagnostic categories over time.

CONCLUSIONS:

Children born VPT show higher rates of MH disorders than their term peers, with changing trajectories over time. Findings highlight the importance of early identification and ongoing assessment to support those with MH disorders in this population.
Sowing the Seeds of Financial Imbalances: The Role of Macroeconomic Performance
Authors: Afanasyeva Elena , Jerow Sam , Lee Seung Jung , Modugno Michele
Published: April 2020

The seeds of financial imbalances are sown in times of buoyant economic growth. We study the link between macroeconomic performance and financial imbalances, focusing on the experience of the United States since the 1960s. We first follow a narrative approach to review historical episodes of significant financial imbalances and find that the onset of financial disturbances typically occurs when the economy is running hot. We then look for evidence of a statistical link between measures of macroeconomic conditions and financial imbalances. In our in-sample analysis, we find that strong economic growth is followed by a build-up of financial imbalances across all dimensions of the National Financial Conditions Index. In our out-of-sample analysis, we find that the link between strong economic performance and increases in nonfinancial leverage is particularly strong and robust. Using a structural VAR identified with narrative sign restrictions, we also demonstrate that business cycle shocks are important drivers of non financial leverage.
The Doctrine of the Conflicting Behavior Prohibition
Authors: Gribov N. D.
Published: April 2020

The paper is devoted to the study of the legal construction of the prohibition of conflicting behavior. The author conducted a comparative study of the legal structures of venire contra factum proprium and estoppel. It is concluded that the indicated legal phenomena differ by their legal nature, although they have a common goal — to protect the rights and interests of the weak party. The paper indicates that the prohibition of conflicting behavior should consider a rule aimed at protecting a bona fide party by refusing to satisfy claims (material aspect) and (or) refusing to satisfy a procedural motion (procedural aspect) if the actions of the party that filed the claim, are aimed at refuting their own pre-trial behavior (material aspect) and (or) behavior in the framework of the trial (procedural aspect). The author highlights elements of the venire contra factum proprium rule, which form the subject of proof when referring to this doctrine, in particular: 1) the contradiction of secondary behavior to the original behavior; 2) the presence of dishonesty in the actions or intentions of a person acting in contradiction; 3) causing or intention to cause damage to the opposite side.
