The Tax Revenue from Agriculture and Manufacturing Sectors in Lower Middle-Income Countries with Exchange Rate as a Moderating Variable
Authors: Wulandari Destiny , Wijaya Suparna
Published: September 2023

Middle-income trap triggers the middle-income countries to boost their economic growth. As tax revenue has causal relationship with economic growth, it is essential to conduct a study on how to improve tax revenue. Considering the potential of agriculture and manufacturing sectors in lower middle-income countries, particularly in East Asia and Pacific Regions one of which is Indonesia, this study aims to determine the effects of both sectors on tax revenue in the respective regions. This study uses exchange rate as moderating variable and foreign direct investment (FDI) as control variable. The utilization of the two variables becomes the novelty of this study since researches that uses the two variables have never been conducted. In addition, no references of former studies concerning the effects of the two sectors on tax revenue in lower middle-income countries found. The research is conducted from 2002 to 2019 by using panel data multiple linear regression analysis method. By using fixed effect model and ridge regression model, it is  indicated that before the moderation is carried out, agriculture has a negative effect and manufacture has a positive effect on tax revenue. However, after the variables are moderated with exchange rate, the interaction of agriculture and exchange rate has positive effect on tax revenue, while the interaction of manufacture and exchange rate has negative effect on tax revenue. This study implies that to optimize a country's tax revenue, apart from focusing on optimizing agriculture or manufacture, exchange rate condition needs to be considered.
Tax Revenue, FDI, and Agricultural Sector: A Dynamic Interaction with Regulatory Quality as the Moderation
Authors: Anwar Firda Maharani , Wijaya Suparna
Published: September 2023

This study aims to analyze the effect of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and share of agriculture on Tax Revenue in ASEAN countries with Regulatory Quality as the moderating variable. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with panel data regression analysis and the econometric model is estimated by Panel Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE). The result indicates that FDI, share of agriculture, regulatory-quality-moderated FDI and share of agriculture simultaneously have a significant effect on Tax Revenue. Partially, the result shows that FDI has a positive and significant effect on Tax Revenue. Regulatory Quality and Share of Agriculture have no effect on Tax Revenue. Furthermore, Regulatory Quality weakens the positive relationship of FDI and Tax Revenue, whereas Regulatory Quality strengthens the negative relationship between Share of Agriculture and Tax Revenue. Based on the generated results, there will be a necessity for government to create a comprehensive economic and fiscal policy to increase tax revenue and to strengthen the tax base in the ASEAN countries.

Evaluating State-Sponsored Economic Development Models: Comparing Property-Led Initiatives in Lanarkshire, Scotland from 1990 to the Present
Authors: McDonald Sean M. , Duff William Erskine
Published: September 2023

The aim of this research is to critically assess the historical and long-term performance of government-supported initiatives in economic regeneration within urban regions, with specific reference to two contrasting development models adopted in Lanarkshire, Scotland during the 1990’s: The Lanarkshire Enterprise Zone and the Strathclyde Business Park. This will evaluate economic outcomes from two different policy approaches in the shared conurbation space. The first is an “Enterprise Zone” a concept that represents national and local policy support for economic development within a specific area and is driven by government policy and money. The second, a “Business Park,” generally refers to single-use employment location by corporations that has been created for a unique set of operations, is based within a geographic context and has evolved from predominantly office, research or industry focused development goals. In addition, business parks are typically located away from urban city centers and are privately funded although the land might be publicly held. These two forms of property-led economic development strategies are common throughout the world, from Scotland to China, South Africa to the Midwest of the United States, from inner city Detroit to Cambridge, Massachusetts. They are popular policy initiatives, especially in developing countries, yet we do not have enough research on how these two initiatives work and what explains their different outcomes/impacts in both the short and long-term. The research makes use of two detailed case studies and sets of primary data, analyzes their relationship with the Greater Glasgow conurbation thereby providing in-depth accounts of the development and performance of these projects and critically, their continued results. The development and performance of the initiatives in the development of both the regional economy and co-development to the nearby Greater Glasgow economy is considered within the context of institutional approaches to economic and urban geography. (McPherson and McDonald, 2005) The unique distinctions both the Lanarkshire Enterprise Zone and Strathclyde Business Park possessed which differentiated them from their peers, alongside their ultimate results, especially in context to their implementations in relation to their urban geography, will also be discussed. The comparison is especially valuable as both are in the same Scottish Region which composed the Greater Glasgow urban area, so the data will enable a true compare/contrast evaluation.

Published: September 2023

Aloe vera L. (Lililaceae) bears various medicinal applications that likely date back more than a thousand years ago. The current review provides an overview of the folk traditional uses, phytochemistry, biological activities, and cosmaceutical applications of the A. vera plant to date. The data have been retrieved from different scientific databases, including PubMed-Medline, Researchgate, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, SciELO, Taylor & Francis, Web of Science, books, conference papers, Masters and Ph.D. dissertations. As per the collected data of this review, almost 40 active phytoconstituents in A. vera have been reported so far with varying concentrations. Ethnobotanical data displayed that A. vera is still used as traditional medicine among communities against more than 20 different health-related problems. The DPPH, FRAP, TAC, and ABTS assays were commonly employed where A. vera extracts showed varying antioxidant activities against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Data on the biological activities showed A. vera plant extracts with remarkable anti-inflammatory activities through the inhibition of TNF-α and prostaglandin E2 factors and also exerts anti-diabetic activity against type 1 and type 2 diabetes. As per the collected data of this review, A. vera extracts have been reported with anti-microbial activities against more than 12 bacterial and 7 fungal strains and also obstruct the uncontrollable proliferation of specific types of cancer cells like HCT-116, HepG2, HeLa, A549, and MCF-7. Conclusively, A. vera possesses wide-ranging applications in the treatment of various diseases. However, more controlled investigations and clinical trials with the elucidation of the mechanism of action activities are prerequisites in the future to substantiate the outcomes and efficacies of A. vera under different circumstances. Any toxic effects of A. vera if associated with specific extracts or compounds should be addressed for safer consumption of Aloe-based food and cosmetic products.

Published: September 2023

Esta investigación consiste en la caracterización y descripción de pulgas del orden Siphonaptera de interés veterinario y los factores que predisponen la proliferación en caninos domésticos. Los riesgos de zoonosis favorecidos por la relación de apego que existe entre mascota y humanos constituyen un riesgo a la salud pública. Al ser un estudio descriptivo de carácter retrospectivo, se muestrearon 83 caninos domésticos en la zona urbana de la ciudad de Jinotega la cual tiene una población de 13,043 caninos (SILAIS 2020). De los individuos se recolectaron 251 ectoparásitos que luego se identificaron en el laboratorio del recinto Universitario de Jinotega Marlon Zelaya Cruz.  Los individuos identificados se tabularon en una matriz de datos para calcular los índices ecológicos y los factores que predisponen la proliferación mediante la correlación de abundancia con variables del hospedador, índices económicos y morfología del pelaje. Se identificaron tres especies: Ctenocephalides felis (73%), Ctenocephalides canis (26%), y Pulex irritans (1%). A la vez se analizaron estadísticamente factores intrínsecos de los individuos y su relación con la presencia de ectoparásitos mediante la correlación de pearson, determinando que los Siphonapteros no tienen especificidad absoluta y el fenómeno de proliferación podría relacionarse al manejo sanitario de los propietarios.

Published: September 2023

Abacavir is one of the first-line drugs used to treat HIV infection in paediatric patients in Zambia, whose use in children has not been widely published. This study compared the virologic response of abacavir given as part of a once-daily regimen with the response when given as part of a twice-daily regimen. A total of eighty-two children aged two to twelve years currently receiving antiretroviral therapy at the Paediatric Centre of Excellence, University Teaching Hospitals, Lusaka, Zambia, were observed in the study. This was a prospective cohort study. All the children were initially on twice daily abacavir containing regimen with lamivudine twice daily and efavirenz once daily, with 40 maintained on this regimen by the attending clinician and 42 switched to once-daily abacavir, lamivudine and efavirenz by the attending clinician. Profiles were obtained for each child to compare viral load at baseline and week 24. Data was analysed using Stata Version 16.The proportion of children with undetectable viral load in the once-daily group at twenty-four weeks was 64.3 per cent compared to 72.5 per centin the twice-daily group. Twice-daily dosing reduced the odds of achieving an undetectable viral load by about 59 per cent, while being male reduced the odds of achieving an undetectable HIV viral load by 19.6 per cent. Baseline haemoglobin, creatinine, or alanine transferase levels were not predictors of viral load suppression.The study suggests that once-daily dosing of an abacavir-containing regimen achieved a lower viral suppression rate when compared to twice-daily dosing. It is recommended that once-daily dosing of abacavir containing regimen should be considered as a dosing option for Zambian children living with HIV.

Mapping the Links: Network Perspectives on Musician Communities of Late Ottoman Istanbul
Authors: ÖNER Onur
Published: September 2023

The core idea of this paper is to represent the social networks of musicians, which lived in late Ottoman Istanbul. The networked society, as a social term, aims to depict communities in ongoing interactions and hence gives prominence to ties and connections between members of the society in question. To digitally visualize those links, there are innovative devices such as Gephi software. Through various algorithms, the program converts the relational database of musicians and digitally visualizes this database in many different forms. The powerful layouts offer compelling evidence of the channels of musical knowledge that were transmitted from masters to disciples as well as between musicians. Moreover, the visual depiction of musician networks would permit us to interpret the influential, isolated musicians and the interactions between the main and the sub-clusters in the whole network. This paper offers an innovative approach to the musician communities of late Ottoman Istanbul.

Published: September 2023

Aim: To assess the frequency of posterior urethral valves (PUV) in male infants diagnosed with hydronephrosis in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and the early outcomes.
Materials and Methods: The study included male patients who had been diagnosed with hydronephrosis in the antenatal or postnatal period in our NICU between 2017 and 2020. We investigated antenatal hydronephrosis detection statuses, birth histories, ultrasonographic findings, and the lowest creatinine values detected during the NICU treatment of PUV-diagnosed patients.
Results: A total of 73 infants had hydronephrosis and 20.5% of the patients (n=15) had PUV, and 26.6% (n=4) of the PUV patients had below 5 mm renal pelvic diameters. These patients were diagnosed with clinical suspicion (interrupted urination, decreased diuresis, or globe vesicle). In PUV-diagnosed patients, dysplastic kidneys and increased renal echogenicity are associated with poor outcomes (death or dialysis need).
Conclusion: Hydronephrosis finding in ultrasonography may not be sufficient, so complete clinical evaluation is needed in newborns not to miss PUV cases.

Aim: To evaluate the results of the locking anatomic plate fixation method with volar intervention according to age groups in the surgical treatment of unstable radius distal end fractures involving the joint.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 72 adult patients with distal radius fractures who were treated with open reduction and locked volar plate fixation due to radius distal end fracture in group C according to AO classification between August 2010 and August 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. All our patients were evaluated for a post-op range of motion. We divided the age ranges into four groups: Group 1 for ages 17-30, Group 2 for ages 30-45, Group 3 for ages 45-60, and Group 4 for ages over 60.
Results: The mean values of joint range of motion and grip strength in all our patients were; flexion 70.95° (Group 1 76.87°, Group 2 74.00°, Group 3 66.96°, and Group 4 64.16°), extension 67.38° (Group 1 71.87°, Group 2 68.33°, Group 3 61.15° and, Group 4 61.16°), radial deviation 27.02° (Group 1 32.50°, Group 2 29.67°, Group 3 23,08° and, Group 4 21.67°), ulnar deviation 32.86° (Group 1 38.75°, Group 2 36.33°, Group 3 28.46°, and Group 4 25.83°), supination 77.74° (Group 1 85.0°, Group 2 79.67°, Group 3 74.62°, and Group 70.0°), pronation 82.50° (Group 1 85.62°, Group 2 84.33°, Group 3 82.69°, and Group 4 73.33°). Analysis of the data revealed a negative correlation between patient age and post-operative joint range of motion. Our findings indicate a statistically significant difference in joint range of motion among Group 4, Group 1, and Group 2 patients.
Conclusion: Volar locking plate surgery in AO type C radius distal fractures is suitable for all age groups thanks to rigid fixation and early mobilization.

Published: September 2023

The occurrence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria is concerning the scientific community since it confers multiple drug resistance (MDR). The study investigated the prevalence of MDR-ESBL-producing Salmonella strains from shrimp in Sylhet region, Bangladesh. A total of 165 shrimp samples were processed from 55 shrimp specimen from different retail shops. The presence of Salmonella was confirmed by standard methods followed by antibiotic susceptibility testing. Isolates exhibiting resistant to third-generation cephalosporin were considered as Salmonella positive isolates which was later proven by the double disc synergy test. Thirty-nine isolates were identified to be Salmonella positive of which eighteen were from seven department stores and twenty-one from the local market. The body parts had the highest rate of positive samples (30.91%), followed by the head (23.63%), and the tail (16.36%). Additionally, isolated Salmonella were resistant to rifampicin and Cefixime but 100% susceptible to co-trimoxazole, ofloxacin, streptomycin, nalidixic acid, and chloramphenicol, while ciprofloxacin showed intermediate resistance. Vancomycin, cephalexin, ampicillin, and colistin, on the other hand, were among the extremely resistant drugs. Finally, while six of the tested isolates demonstrated resistance against the recommended cephalosporin, three of them (7.69%) were Salmonella ESBL positive in the double disc synergy test. The rising incidence of MDR and the developing prevalence of ESBL-positive Salmonella may put a burden on the healthcare system by limiting access to effective antibacterial drugs.

Published: September 2023

Ovarian cancer is one of the most popular causes of mortality among women, and the prevalence of ovarian cancer is increased. Early diagnosis of this disease via genetic variant testing is one potential strategy for enhancing treatment and disease outcome. In this study, we used the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples of ovarian tumor tissues from Vietnamese patients to detect pathogenic variants in BRCA1/BRCA2 via next-generation sequencing. DNA was extracted using QIAamp DNA FFPE Tissue Kit, and then its quality was assessed using BioDrop and Qubit. The BRCAaccuTestTM PLUS kit and Illumina MiSeqDx instrument were used for both library preparation and sequencing. All samples had passed the A260/280 ratio cut-off for DNA purity and the requirement of DNA concentration. Excepted for the 1st time, the percentage of ≥ Q30 was more than 80%, while the density was approximately 1,200 K/mm2, while the phasing and prephasing (%) metrics were satisfied to be less than 0.1%. 5 pathogenic variants in BRCA1/BRCA2, including both single nucleotide polymorphisms and indels were successfully detected using NgeneAnalySysTM software.
Clinical Studies on Jaw Bone Regeneration
Authors:   , Wu Vivian
Published: September 2023

In this thesis, we investigated bone formation and vascularization in jaw bone regeneration using different bone grafting materials, either or not supplemented with SVF, for dental implant placement. MSFE was used as a human experimental model for the application of different bone grafting materials. MSFE was also used as a human split-mouth model to compare the application of SVF-supplemented calcium phosphate bone substitute with calcium phosphate bone substitute only in jaw bone regeneration.
The clinical studies in this thesis have contributed to new insights in bone formation and vascularization in jaw bone regeneration using different bone grafting materials, either or not supplemented with SVF, for dental implant placement. SVF-supplementation increased vascularization and osteoid volume in calcium phosphate bone substitute to a similar level of using retromolar bone graft in patients who had undergone MSFE. Therefore, SVF-supplementation might accelerate dental implant placement and loading. The successful 10-year clinical and radiological follow-up of patients treated with MSFE using SVF-supplemented calcium phosphate bone substitute, provides powerful leads to extent the clinical application of SVF. The new insights provided in this thesis could have important implications for the development of new strategies in cellular bone tissue engineering in the fields of oral and maxillofacial surgery and orthopedics.

The obtained 21 F1 hybrids with their seven parents underwent three salinity stress levels exposure—3.91 dsm1 (Normal), 6.24 dsm-1 (S1), and 7.81 dsm-1 (S2) —during the 2020/2021 growing seasons. Salinity treatments significantly reduced days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of primary branches, pods/plant, 1000-seed weight, seed yield/plant, seed oil content, relative water content, calcium, potassium, and the ratio between K+ and Na+ compared with a normal condition. Proline content, osmotic pressure, and Na+ were considerably higher under salinity stress conditions. Highly significant differences showed among the parents and hybrids for all traits across the tested environments. General (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining ability effects were highly significant for all attributes. The parental genotypes Serw4 and Pactol resulted as good general combiners for increased seed oil content (SOC), seed yield/plant (SYPP), and some of its components in research environments. The hybrid combinations H2/S × Serw4 and Serw4 × Serw6 were good specific combiners for days to first flower (DTF), number of primary branches (NPB), number of pods per plant (NP), a thousand seed weight (TSW), seed yield per plant (SYPP), seed oil content (SOC), proline content (ProC), Ca++, and K+/Na+. The SDS-PAGE analysis of seed proteins indicated high levels of genetic variability and revealed some vital biochemical markers for salt tolerance.

Hidden hunger is one of the most important challenges of the current era, and genetic biofortification is the most feasible, cheapest, and sustainable way to provide a balanced diet to the community. Given the value of biofortification in food grains, the relevant study sought to screen maize inbred lines for kernel Fe and Zn contents and estimate their bioavailability using molar ratios. One hundred maize inbred lines planted during spring 2018 in soil contained optimal levels of Fe and Zn. Maize genotypes evaluation comprised plant height, days to tasseling, silking, maturity, cob length, number of rows per cob, grains per row, grains per cob, 100-grain weight, grain yield per plant, grain Fe, Zn, and phytic acid contents. Significant differences emerged for all the studied traits. The results of the correlation study indicated that grain Fe and Zn contents had a positive genetic link with each other while a non-significant negative association with phytic acid and grain yield. A substantial positive correlation of grain yield occurred with rows per cob, grains per row, and grains per cob. Cluster and principal component analyses ran through, with PA/Fe and PA/Zn molar ratios calculated to estimate the mineral bioavailability. Based on the genetic variability for grain yield, Fe, Zn, and PA contents, four clusters resulted, and the first two PCs had an eigenvalue of more than one and depicted 76.91% of the total variance. Genotypes M-11, M-41, M-45, M-56, M-60, M-61, M-66, M-80, M-96, and M-98 showed high Fe and Zn contents with low molar ratios and are potential to benefit further breeding programs to develop biofortified maize hybrids.

Brackish water used for irrigation in shortage of appropriate soil-water-crop practices often constitutes salinity in the soil profile. Canal irrigation water is scarce to aid agriculture; thus, a supplementary water supply requires accessibility from drainage water. In Pakistan, groundwater is brackish because of elevated levels of electrical conductivity (EC), residual sodium carbonates (RSC), and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR). But these waters can benefit well for irrigation during the primary phase of saline-sodic soil’s reclamation, if employing appropriate management practices, such as, chemical and organic amendments. A pot trial procedure ran under environmental conditions at the research area of the Department of Soil and Environmental Sciences, College of Agriculture, University of Sargodha, to assess the effect of sodic water with various amendments on sorghum and berseem fodder crops. The pot experiment comprised seven treatments, including T1 = Control having canal water with SAR 0.1 and EC 0.2 dS m-1 ; T2 = Sodic water with SAR 15; T3 = Sodic water (SAR 15) + Gypsum; T4 = Sodic water (SAR 15) + H2SO4; T5 = Sodic water (SAR 15) + compost; T6 = Sodic water (SAR 15) + FYM; T7 = Sodic water (SAR 15) + poultry manure, with three replicates under complete randomized design (CRD) by sowing sorghum “JS-88” and berseem “Hisar Berseem 1” cultivars taken from the Fodder Research Institute (FRI), Sargodha. The agronomic and fodder quality attributes were maximum in T3 treatment in sorghum compared with other concentrations and berseem. In both crops, mineral nutrients were variable, and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were maximum in T5, compared with others.
