The Impact of China Exchange Rate Policy on its Trading Partners Evidence Based on the GVAR Model
Authors: ABBAS Shah , Nguyen V.C. , YANFU Zhu , Nguyen Huu Tinh
Published: August 2020

This study is designed to investigate the impact of China exchange rate policy on its trading partners by using a country multi-dataset GVAR model. Our model includes samples of 30 countries, six from high-income, six from middle-income and eighteen from low-income countries. This study used annual time series data over the period 1992 to 2017. We constructed currency misalignment index and it provided some interesting features about the currency undervaluation and overvaluation. The results of the currency misalignment shows that China’s Renminbi is structurally more undervalued over the sample period as compared to other countries, and fluctuation in major currencies effects the global trade around the world. The overall empirical results of the GVAR model indicate that RMB undervaluation affects the trade pattern and macroeconomic performance of China’s trading partners. Overall, China’s exchange rate undervaluation has mixed effects on trading partner’s GDP, exports and imports. The devaluation of China’s RMB efficiently stimulated China’s exports and reduced imports. While, in some countries, this effect is reverse, the RMB undervaluation increases the GDP of partner countries and also increases their exports to China. The results confirm the strong and leading role of the Chinese Renminbi in the global trade.

Published: August 2020

The initial response to a crisis typically depends on the executive branch of government, because they may act more rapidly than legislative and judicial branches. For COVID-19 in particular, the focal decision-makers have been the president and the governors of the 50 states. In the eyes of the public, how have the president and governors responded?We surveyed 22,501 individuals across all 50 states plus the District of Columbia. The survey was conducted on 12-28 June 2020 by PureSpectrum via an online, nonprobability sample, with state-level representative quotas for race/ethnicity, age, and gender (for methodological details on the other waves, see covidstates.org). In addition to balancing on these dimensions, we reweighted our data using demographic characteristics to match the U.S. population with respect to race/ethnicity, age, gender, and education. This was the fifth in a series of surveys we have been conducting since April 2020, examining attitudes and behaviors regarding COVID-19 in the United States.
Words can hurt: how political communication can change the pace of an epidemic
Authors: Gagete-Miranda Jessica , Mariani Lucas Argentieri , Rettl Paula
Published: August 2020

Do cues from political elites influence their constituents’ decisions about personal matters, such as health behavior? If so, why? Leveraging on a combination of natural and survey experiments, we study how President Bolsonaro’s dismissive stance towards COVID-19 in Brazil influenced the behaviors and o pinions o f his opponents and supporters. First, we exploit Bolsonaro’s sudden display of skepticism towards COVID-19 in a differences-in-differences design. We show that municipalities with a concentration of his supporters witnessed higher mobility levels, excess hospitalization, and mortality in subsequent days. Second, results of two survey experiments indicate that these pat- terns are explained by Bolsonaro supporters following his cues and a backlash among his opponents. Heterogeneous exercises regarding participants’ performance in a cognitive test and the strength of their political social identity provide evidence of the mechanisms. While heuristics drive the reaction of Bolsonaro opponents, willingness to comply with group norms explains the reactions of his supporters.

Why is right-wing media consumption associated with lower compliance with COVID-19 measures?
Authors: Ponizovskiy Vladimir , Grigoryan Lusine , Hofmann Wilhelm
Published: August 2020

Exposure to right-wing media has been shown to relate to lower perceived threat from COVID-19, lower compliance with prophylactic measures against it, and higher incidence of infection and death. What features of right-wing media messages account for these effects? In a preregistered cross-sectional study (N = 554) we test a model that differentiates perceived consequences of two CDC recommendations—washing hands and staying home—for basic human values. People who consumed more right-wing media perceived these behaviors as less beneficial for their personal security, for the well-being of close ones, and the well-being of society at large. Perceived consequences of following the CDC recommendations mediated the relationship between media consumption and compliance with recommendations. Implications for public health messaging are discussed.
Child Disability and Caregiving in Low and Middle Income Countries: Big Data Approach on open data
Authors: Bizzego Andrea , Lim Mengyu , Schiavon Greta , Peipei Setoh , Gabrieli Giulio , Dimitriou Dagmara , Esposito Gianluca
Published: August 2020

Background: The presence of child disabilities might affect the amount of caregiving attention the child receives, with potential ramifications on the development of the child and increasing the likelihood of developing a more severe condition. Little is known about the association between child disabilities and caregiving practices in less developed countries, penalized by both lack of data and a research bias toward western societies.Method: In this study, we apply data mining methods on a large (N = 29,525) dataset from UNICEF to investigate the association between caregiving practices and developmental disabilities of the children, and highlight the differences between intellectual and other disabilities.Results: Our results highlight that, compared to other types of disabilities, intellectual disabilities increased the risk of being neglected by the caregiver in those activities oriented to the cognitive development. The education of the caregiver and the socioeconomical development of the country are actively involved in the moderation of the risk.Conclusion: We demonstrated that educational policies of parental training, such as psychoeducation regarding intellectual disabilities and destigmatization campaigns, are needed to benefit parental practices in low- and middle-income countries.
The dual origin of lexical perseverations in aphasia: Residual activation and incremental learning
Authors: Hepner Christopher Richardson , Nozari Nazbanou
Published: August 2020

Lexical perseveration, the inappropriate repetition of a previous response, is common in aphasia. Two underlying mechanisms have been proposed: residual activation and incremental learning. Previous attempts to differentiate the two have relied on experimental paradigms that encourage semantically related errors and analysis techniques designed to detect perseverations over short distances, resulting in a bias towards detecting short-lag, semantically related perseverations that both mechanisms can account for. Two key predictions that differentiate these accounts remain untested: only residual activation can explain short-lag, semantically unrelated perseverations, whereas only incremental learning can explain long-lag, semantically related perseverations. In this paper, we used a large set of picture naming trials and a novel analysis technique to test these key predictions in a multi-session study involving six individuals with aphasia. We found clear evidence for both mechanisms in different individuals, demonstrating that either one is sufficient to cause perseveration. Importantly, perseverations due to residual activation were associated with more severely impaired systems than those due to incremental learning, suggesting that a certain degree of structural and functional integrity was necessary for incremental learning. Finally, the results supported a key prediction of the incremental learning account by showing perseverations over longer lags than have previously been reported.
Conducting conservation social science surveys online

Published: August 2020

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is affecting the environment and conservation research in fundamental ways. Many conservation social scientists are now administering survey questionnaires online, but they must do so while ensuring rigor in data collection. Further, they must address a suite of unique challenges, such as the increasing use of mobile devices by participants and avoiding bots or other survey fraud. We reviewed recent literature on online survey methods to examine the state of the field related to online data collection and dissemination. We illustrate the review with examples of key methodological decisions made during a recent national study of people who feed wild birds, in which survey respondents were recruited through an online panel and a sample generated via a project participant list. Conducting surveys online affords new opportunities for participant recruitment, design, and pilot testing. For instance, online survey panels can provide quick access to large and diverse samples of people. Based on the literature review and our own experiences, we suggest that to ensure high-quality online surveys one should account for potential sampling and nonresponse error, design survey instruments for use on multiple devices, test the instrument, and use multiple protocols to identify data quality problems. We also suggest that research funders, journal editors, and policy makers can all play a role in ensuring high-quality survey data are used to inform effective conservation programs and policies.
Heart sign in Neurology - A Radiological sign
Authors: Sajan Sheetal , Thomas Reji
Published: August 2020

Bilateral medial medullary infarction is a rare stroke syndrome. The common symptoms are quadriparesis, dysarthria and hypoglossal palsy. However, the early diagnosis of bilateral medial medullary infarction may be difficult as it may mimic other conditions like Guillain Barre syndrome and brainstem encephalitis. With the advent of magnetic resonance imaging, it can be easily diagnosed, as the diffusion weighted sequences demonstrate hyperintensity involving bilateral medulla in a heart shaped pattern, described as the “Heart sign”. We hereby report a patient who presented with progressive quadriparesis, and dysarthria, progressing to respiratory failure, whose MRI brain showed the characteristic “heart sign” on diffusion sequences and was diagnosed to have bilateral medial medullary infarction.

Authors: Paudel Prakash , Shah Damber Bikram , Joshi Sumit , Karki Prasanna , Budhathoki Samip Jung , Sharma Gopal Raman
Published: August 2020

Introduction: Lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis is an acquired slippage of a vertebra due to degenerative arthritis of the facet joints without any defect in the vertebral ring. Degenerative spondylolisthesis is commonly treated with posterior decompression and posterolateral fusion. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcome of posterior decompression and instrumented posterolateral fusion surgery by analysing patient reported outcome measures.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective study in which patients who had posterior decompression and instrumented posterolateral fusion for lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis between September 2017 and August 2019 at Nepal Mediciti Hospital were included in the study. Other types of spondylolisthesis managed with similar technique and patients who had follow up period of less than three months were excluded. Functional outcome was assessed by comparing pre and post-operative patient reported outcome measures: VAS leg pain, VAS back pain and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The paired t-test was used for statistical analysis.

Results: Of the 16 patients, 81.25% were female. Mean age and mean follow up period were 58.81± 10.47 years and 13.56±7.15 months respectively. Seventy five percent had grade I spondylolisthesis. Most common level of spondylolisthesis was L4/5 (62.5%). Fourteen patients reported improvement in their symptoms after surgery. The changes in functional outcome scores between baseline and at follow up evaluation were as follows: 32.70 ± 17.44 points for ODI, 3 ±1.89 for VAS leg pain, and 5.37 ± 2.36 for VAS back pain (P<0.001). Superficial wound infection was the most common complication observed in 18.3%.

Conclusion: In our case series, 87.5% had improvement in their symptoms after surgery. The change in mean score of patients’ reported outcome measures before and after surgery was statistically significant. We recommend a prospective comparative study between decompression alone and the fusion technique for the evaluation of long term functional outcome.

Juvenile variant ossifying fibroma of sinonasal region is an extremely rare benign fibro-osseous lesion which is locally aggressive. A 21-year-old male presented with significant proptosis of right eye with stony-hard lump in the middle upper aspect of the right orbit and base of the nose. CT scan of head revealed a non-enhancing expansile lesion in right ethmoidal cells consistent with chronic ethmoidal mucocele. However Magnetic Resonance Imaging of brain revealed enhancing lesion in right ethmoid and frontal sinus extending up to anterior cranial fossa. He underwent right frontal craniotomy with surgical excision of tumor wherein cystic brown tumor of frontal and ethmoidal sinus was found. The procedure was supplemented with endoscopic transnasal approach. Histopathology report suggested an ossifying fibroma. This case highlights the importance of clinical, imaging and histopathological features of ossifying fibroma occurring in the sinonasal tract for better diagnosis and treatment through a multidisciplinary approach.
The Role of Bank-based and Market-based Financial Development on Economic Growth of Nepal
Authors: Rana Surya Bahadur
Published: August 2020

This study examines the empirical relationship between economic growth and various measures of stock market and banking development in Nepal over the sample period 1987/88 to 2015/16 using a framework of endogenous growth model suggested by Romer (1986), Rebelo (1991) and Pagano (1993). The study finds that stock market size, liquidity and banking development measures predict the economic growth in the context of Nepal. Similarly, the study results show the important role of banking development on economic growth process of Nepal because all indicators of banking development have positive and significant impact on growth. The study results shed light on the fact that both the level of stock market development and the level of banking development can influence the economic growth of Nepal. This finding supports the notion of Levine (1996) which articulates that stock market and banking sector are independently as well as jointly significant in promoting economic growth.

Authors: Paudel Shiva Raj
Published: August 2020

This study examines the effect of firm’s characteristics and macroeconomic variables on common stock return from the firms listed in Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE). The explained variable for the study is stock return which is calculated as the annual capital gain yield. The explanatory variables consist of firm size, book to market equity, earning yield, cash flow yield, GDP growth, rate of inflation, real interest rate, and money supply. The data are collected from the database of NEPSE, Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), and the annual reports of the selected firms. The study is based on the 150 observations from the 10 sample firms for the period of 15 years (from 2003/4 to 2017/18). Fixed effect panel data analysis is used to examine the effect of firm characteristics and macroeconomic variables on common stock return in Nepalese firms. The findings confirms significant negative impact of firm size, book to market equity, earning yield, and cash flow yield on stock return in Nepalese context. Among the macroeconomic variables, GDP growth rate, and interest rate have significant negative impact on stock return. Contrarily, only the rate of inflation has significant positive impact on stock return in the context of Nepal. No significant effect of money supply is observed on common stock return in the context of Nepal.
Total Body Irradiation as Conditioning Regimen for Haematopoietic Progenitor Cell Transplant: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Sánchez Diana Alonso , Sánchez Diana Alonso , Bravo Marta Lloret Sáez-
Published: August 2020

This case study presents a young adult man with lymphoblastic leukaemia B who required total body
irradiation (TBI) as a conditioning regimen for haematopoietic progenitor cell transplant (HPT) as the only
curative treatment option for his oncological disease. TBI was carried out with personalised patient
immobilisation, three-dimensional simulation, radiophysical planning and dosimetric calculations. A total
of 12 Gy were prescribed to be administered twice a day for 3 days in a row by means of volumetric
modulated intensity radiotherapy with several isocentres. The best technique for the administration of this
radiotherapy is discussed because, although the clinical efficacy of the administration of this body dose has
been well known for decades, technological advances have brought us new possibilities when compared to
the traditional TBI (bilateral with horizontal photon beam and absorbent screen). These advances include
the technique used in this case (multi-isocentre volumetric-radiotherapy), which allows a better doses
distribution, reducing the dose in organs at risk (OARs) and producing less toxicity, and therefore allowing
the inclusion of patients who would not tolerate a conventional TBI. In addition, this method would allow
the dose to be scaled up locally in higher areas at risk with better results in the disease control.
Racemose Pattern of Intracranial Tuberculoma at the Basal, Suprasellar and Perimesencephalic Cisterns – A Case Report
Authors: Sarkar Saumitra , S Sarkar , Sarkar Saumitra , Dey A , Morshed MMH
Published: August 2020

Central nervous system tuberculosis may present as meningitis, tuberculoma, abscesses, cerebritis or miliary
tuberculosis. The most common site of tuberculoma has been reported to be at the grey-white matter junction
and the periventricular region. They may even be found in the epidural, subdural and subarachnoid spaces,
and the brain stem. Although tuberculosis is very common in developing countries, with the increasing
prevalence of immunosuppression owing to human immunodeficiency virus and patients surviving
chemotherapy or organ transplantation, the incidence of tubercular infections has been rising in developed
countries. The authors report a 15-year-old boy of intracranial tuberculoma at the basal, suprasellar and
perimesencephalic cisterns in a patient. Tuberculous involvement was noted in a racemose pattern in the
subarachnoid space. The patient’s clinical symptoms resolved with no recurrence of symptoms but only
persistence of the radiological abnormality after antitubercular chemotherapy.
Upskilling and Reskilling the Workforce via Industry Driven Technical and Vocational Education and Training: Strategies to Initiate Industry/Institution Partnership in Malaysia
Authors: Gowrie Vinayan  , Harikirishanan Davindran , Siow May Ling
Published: August 2020

The advent of Industrial Revolutions that swept the region has not spared the Malaysian business landscape.  This has compelled industries to produce highly skilled workforce (Yizit and Yezim Denis, 2018) to promote knowledge-based skills in various sectors in Malaysia. Anticipating this change, the Malaysian Government initiated Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) program to address the issue during the early 90’s. However, the current highly pedagogical supply driven TVET system has not addressed the need to effectively upskill and reskill workforce talents to achieve maximum productivity. Hence, this study, which is grounded on empowerment theory, aims to develop mechanisms to skew the path towards industry-driven TVET by adopting heutagogical approaches that promotes lifelong and independent adult learning (Blaschke, 2012). The study will be executed using sequential exploratory design (mixed method) beginning with qualitative followed by a quantitative study by collecting samples via stratified random and proportional sampling technique whereby a framework will be developed to enable Government policymakers an impetus to formulate relevant strategies that forges the collaboration between the industry and academia.

Authors: Nadhirin Nur Fathin Shaida Muhammad , Norizarina Ishak  , Siti Masitah Elias
Published: August 2020

Establishing optimal allocation for different stocks in a portfolio via modern portfolio theory is highly depended on the accuracy of the return and risk estimation. For retail investors, technological advancement has made it possible for them to apply the complex estimation procedure for decision making. Therefore, this study aims to assess the mean-variance Shariah-compliant portfolio performance with model-based return and risk estimation. The methodology adopted is based on the implementation of ARMA and GARCH model, focused on the daily stock prices from year 2011 until 2018. Further, we used one-step ahead forecast for the best ARMA-GARCH model as well as an arithmetic mean and variance estimation to prepare the composition of diversified portfolio weights for top 10 constituent companies listed in FBM Hijrah Shariah (FBMHS) Index. We also measure out of sample performance in a constructed portfolio using Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen’s measures. The result shows that the stock allocation for the model-based portfolio is less diversified as compared to non-model-based portfolio. The composition of the model-based portfolio weight is capable of achieving high annual returns which can compensate for high risk. The out of sample portfolio performance of both techniques is capable to outperform the FBMHS Index.
Modelling Public Intention to Reduce Non-Revenue Water: An Expanded Version of the Theory of Planned Behaviour
Authors: Ong Tze Xien Shelley , Chong Shyue Chuan  , Sia Bik Kai
Published: August 2020

The study seeks to determine the public’s Non-Revenue Water (NRW) reduction behavioural intention in Malaysia. It endeavours to expand the social-psychological behavioural model which is the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) by adding the determinants of environmental knowledge, environmental concern, the respondents’ gender, age group, ethnicity, marital status and education level to predict the public’s behavioural intention to engage in NRW reduction practices. A self-structured questionnaire with face-to-face interview was employed to gather responses from 800 citizens who are currently living in the state of Selangor, the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Pahang, and Johor. Following the subsequent hierarchical linear regression models, the final model has explained 51.3% of the variance in behavioural intention to take part in NRW reduction practices. The study’s findings identify that the factors of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, environmental knowledge, environmental concern, and gender significantly influence the NRW reduction intention. Moreover, the study reveals that ethnicity and education differences have significant influences on the expanded TPB in terms of NRW reduction. This study furthers to the present theory and experience by offering advantageous perception about the application of environmental knowledge and environmental concern on the public’s NRW reduction intention.

Cause or Consequence?
Authors: Alarian Hannah M.
Published: August 2020

Does a far-right electoral victory change mainstream support for migration policy? Although we know how migration can shape support for the far-right, we know little about the inverse. This article addresses this question, exploring whether an Alternative for Germany (AfD) candidate’s election changes non-far-right voter attitudes toward migration policies. In combining the German Longitudinal Election Study Short-Term Campaign panel with federal electoral returns, I find the AfD’s 2017 success significantly altered migration attitudes. Specifically, policy support for immigration and asylum declined precipitously where an AfD candidate won the plurality of first votes. Yet these voters were also more likely to support multicultural policies for current immigrants. Successful AfD candidates therefore appear to enable both an endorsement of xenophobic rhetoric and a rejection of cultural assimilation.
GEOTHERMAL SILICA WASTE AS SUSTAINABLE AMORPHOUS SILICA SOURCE FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF SILICA XEROGELS
Authors: Silviana S. , Sanyoto Gelbert Jethro , Darmawan Adi , Sutanto Heri
Published: August 2020

Silica waste from the geothermal plant in Dieng-Indonesia can be utilized as amorphous silica source regarding the high content of silica and high productivity in the plant. However, in the presence of metal oxides, a series of purification steps need to be carried out. This paper describes silica xerogels preparation via acid leaching and sol gel method. Sulfuric acid was chosen in acid leaching due to corrosivity and safety factors. In the beginning, FTIR spectrophotometry and BET-BJH of geothermal silica revealed characteristic functional groups and physisorption of amorphous silica. Response data were collected based on XRF data to obtain silica content at optimum sulfuric acid concentration. To ensure the optimum data, it was confirmed by using XRF at prior and post leaching. The result informed that acid leaching attained optimum at 25% of acid concentration with R2 = 1 releasing more than 98% of silica. Leached silica was introduced a sol-gel method by using NaOH 2 N with a ratio of SiO2 to NaOH (1:6 (w/V)) followed 1 N of HCl addition. The product was aged for 18 h before washing and drying at 105 °C. The functional groups spectra such as hydroxyl (-OH), silanol (Si-OH), and siloxane (Si-O-Si) account for the molecular model that might be formed along with the polymerization process. Analysis of SEM and FTIR confirmed morphology, particle size, and disappearance of organic functional groups during the xerogel synthesis process from geothermal silica.
