Interest-Rate Liberalization and Capital Misallocations
Authors:   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Liu Zheng , Wang Pengfei ,   Hong Kong University of Sciences and Technology, Xu Zhiwei ,   Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Published: August 2017

We study the consequences of interest-rate liberalization in a two-sector general equilibrium model of China. The model captures a key feature of China's distorted financial system: state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have greater incentive to expand production and easier access to credit than private firms. In this second-best environment, interest-rate liberalization can improve capital allocations within each sector, but can also exacerbate misallocations across sectors. Under calibrated parameters, the liberalization policy can reduce aggregate productivity and welfare unless other policy reforms are also implemented to alleviate SOEs' distorted incentives or improve private firms' credit access.
Dentin hypersensitive: Ethiology and treatment
Authors: Utami Nuryanni Dihin , Komara Ira
Published: August 2017

Dentin hypersensitivity is a response in exposed dentine with a symptom of clinically sharp and short pain. This condition may occur to exposed dentine due to gingival recession or enamel loss. Dentin hypersensitivity treatment aimed to either occlude the open dentinal tubules or block the neural response of the pulp. Invasive treatment are pulpectomy, restoration or surgery, while non invasive treatment are usually done by using tooth paste or mouthwash which is added by desensitizing agent
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and its relation to dentist
Authors: Anggayanti Nyoman Ayu , Adiatmika I Putu Gde
Published: August 2017

Introduction: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a compressive neuropathy, caused by mechanical distortion produced by a compressive force of the median nerve at the level of the wrist. Primary sign is pain in the wrist, tingling sensation, pain or numbness in thumb, index finger, middle finger, and radial side of the ring finger, also there is a reduction of the grip strength and function of the affected hand. This sign tend to be worse at night and clumsiness during the activities that requiring wrist flexion. This syndrome is well-known and frequent accounts for 90% of all entrapment neuropathies. Incidence rates up to 276:100.000 per year. More common in females than in males, its occurrence is commonly bilaterally with a peak age range of 40 to 60 years. This is the productive age, which is often reported that the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are work-related musculoskeletal disorders caused by strain and repeated movements. Disscussion: Dentist are high risks to go through musculoskeletal disorders covering wrist joint. The condition may happen because of the dentist position while handling patients is not in ergonomic position. These include repetitive prolonged hand activities, forceful static posture of wrist, vibration, and localized mechanical stress. To reduce the symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders since the beginning, has developed an integrated concept of teamwork in a modern dental practice. This concept is known as the four-handed dentistry which consists of dentists and assistants with their respective skills. Conclusion: The four-handed treatment techniques has been developed that is now largely acceptable. The concept of four-handed dentistry is expected to prevent the movement that makes the muscles tense, especially in the area around the wrist. And may ultimately reduce the incidence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Treatment of relapse Ameloblastoma after Hemimandibulectomy and Mandibular Reconstruction
Authors: Putri Dian Maifara , Hardianto Andri , Syamsudin Endang , Rizki Kiki Akhmad
Published: August 2017

Background. Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor with an aggressive biological behaviour, and the surgical treatment frequently results in failure for the post operative recurrence. Purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical result of the patient with aggressive recurrent ameloblastoma who underwent two times radical surgery to get recurrence free. Case. We report a patient who was diagnosed with ameloblastoma of the mandible 13 years ago and had undertaken operation hemimandibulectomy and mandibular reconstruction. However, recurrence occured and secondary surgical treatment (particularly radical) offers the best chance to the patient. The recurrence of an ameloblastoma mainly displays the ineffectiveness or perhaps lack of success of the main surgical treatment. Conclusion. The method has to be intense as well as radical in order to steer clear of reccurence. For ameloblastoma an ineffectiveness of initial surgical treatment indicates that more radical strategy led to minimum recurrence rate.
A rare case of massif Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor in the anterior region of mandible: Mimicking as dentigerous cyst
Authors: Munandar Aris , Syamsudin Endang , Sylvyana Melita , Rizki Kiki Akhmad
Published: August 2017

Background. Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) is a rare tumor of epithelial origin. AOT appears in three clinico-topographic variants: follicular, extrafollicular and peripheral. The AOT was predominantly found in the upper jaw, and rarely found in mandible, especially at anterior mandible. AOT is a tumor of odontogenic epithelium having duct like structures, which may be partly cystic, and in some cases the solid lesion may be present only as masses in the wall of a large cyst. The surgical management of this lesion would be enucleation along with removal of associated impacted tooth. The prognosis for both of them is good and recurrences are very rare after complete removal of the lesion. Purpose. It is important to define final diagnose for AOT due to mimicking with DC in clinically and radiographically finding. Biopsy is still obviously necessary to the final diagnosis. Case. 15-year-old female patients reported with chief complain of swelling in anterior mandible. The swelling beginning 4 years ago, gradually progressed, with no history pain, discharge and patient is complaint about loss of sensation around anterior mandible. Aspiration revealed straw colored fluid thinking in the way of DC. The provisional diagnosis of DC was given due to clinical presentation and radiographic imaging. But the biopsy examination showed AOT due to duct-like epithelial cells was being found. Discussion. The case report illustrates characteristic clinical and radiographic features of follicular variant of AOT mimicking a DC at unusual site that is anterior mandible. AOT is thought to arise from odontogenic epithelium and associated with the impacted tooth. Rightfully AOT is a perfect imitator of DC radiographically as well as histopathologically. It usually clinically misdiagnosed as DC as both have a unilocular, well-defined radiolucency surrounding the crown of an impacted tooth. The mass was enucleated, involved teeth were extracted, and titanium plates are used to avoid pathologist fracture. The patient had uneventful postoperative recovery. Follow up of a year has not shown any evidence of recurrence. Conclusion. Follicular type of OAT could confuse us with DC if the support examination just only clinicaly finding and radiographic examination. This case could not be definitively diagnosed on clinical and radiographic features alone. Biopsy was obviously necessary to the final diagnosis.

Authors: Partakusuma Fatimah Boenjamin
Published: August 2017

Background: Angular cheilitis is a lesion at the corner of the mouth. Clinically, it is visible as an erythema and ulceration that occasionally extend beyond the vermillion border onto the skin. Anemia in children is an issue of global nutritional problems that need attention. The objectives of the study  was to determine the association between nutritional status, oral hygiene  and angular cheilitis in elementary schoolchildren in District of Cianjur. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 349 schoolchildren in five Subdistrict of Cianjur. Angular cheilitis status was determined based on the criteria set by Ohman (1986). Anhropometric status was determined by CDC BMI-for-age percentile growth chart. Anemia status was determine by the level of hemoglobin concentration using the HemoCue device. Oral hygiene was measured by OHI-S index. Results: The prevalence of angular cheilitis, anemia, wasting and poor oral hygiene were: 62.5%, 12,6%, 20.6%, and 67.3%, respectively. There are no relationships between  anthropometric status, oral hygiene and angular cheilitis. (p> 0.05). However there is a relationship significant relationship beween anemia and angular cheilitis (p <0.05). Logistic regression test showed that anemia is a risk factor on the occurrence of angular cheilitis. Conclusion: Anemia is a factor on the occurrence of angular cheilitis in schoolchildren in Cianjur.

Authors: Pramesti Hening Tjaturina
Published: August 2017

Streptococcus sanguinis (formerly S. sanguis) is a Gram-positive, facultative anaerobe,  nonmotile , normal  inhabitant of the human oral cavity, and  a member of  the viridans group of streptococci. Among the streptococcus, S. sanguinis is a  primary colonizer in the human tooth surface or it is recognize as a ‘pioneer’ by forming dental plaque. The aim of this paper is to review the role of Streptococcus sanguinis  in the adherence to and  invasion of  human tissues.  S. sanguinis  has been reported  that it is associated  with healthy  tooth  surfaces  but not with caries. S. sanguinis  tend to involved in an interspecies interactions with Streptococcus mutans, which is known as  competition/coexistence within dental biofilm.  In their colonization, this bacteria used enzyme sortase A (SrtA) to cleave  LPXTG-containing proteins sequence and  anchored  the  cell wall, while virulence factors  in infective endocarditis  involved housekeeping functions such as cell wall synthesis, amino acid and nucleic acid synthesis, and the ability to survive under anaerobic conditions.

Authors: Asgharkhani Elnaz , Najmafshar Aazam , Chiani Mohsen
Published: August 2017

This study aims to investigate the effects of different non-ionic surfactants on physicochemical properties of ART
niosomes. ART is a natural compound that is used as an antimalarial and chemotherapy agent in medicine. ART has low
bioavailability, stability and solubility. In order to solve these problems and enhancing the efficiency of the drug,
nanotechnology was used. In the present study, several niosomal formulations of ART prepared using different molar
ratios of Span 60 : Tween 60 : PEG-600: ART in PBS. These three formulations were FI (1:1:0.5:0.5), FII (2:1:0.5:0.5)
and FIII (1:2:0.5:0.5), respectively. The encapsulation efficiency was measured by HPLC and the drug release was
evaluated by dialysis method. The cytotoxicity test was determined by MTT assay. The size, zeta potential and
polydispersity index of the vesicles was measured by Zeta Sizer. Stability study was performed within two months. The
MTT assay results showed that cytotoxicity effect of these formulations on MCF-7 cell line is better than C6 cell line and
the FIII had the best results for both of them. The entrapment efficiencies of the formulations I, II and III were obtained
82.2±1.88%, 75.5±0.92% and 95.5±1.23%, respectively. The results of size, zeta potential and polydispersity index
indicated that the size of the vesicles is below 200 nm, their surface charge is about -35 mV and they were monodisperse.
Stability and release study indicated that the formulation III has the best stability and release pattern. Therefore, the use
of PEGylated niosomal ART can effectively improve its therapeutic index, stability and solubility.

Authors: Ilic Milena , Radnovic Branislav , D. Zivkovic Zoran
Published: August 2017

Several factors direct the companies to apply a higher level of corporate social responsibility: the increasing expectations of customers, changes in expectations of employees, laws and government pressure, investor interest in the social criteria and changes in supply practicesThe basic principles of socially responsible marketing as an ethical business, respect for ecological principles and respect for the legislation. Organizations must ensure that all employees know and observe the relevant laws.Companies must adopt and make available to the written rules of ethics, to develop tradition of ethical conduct in the company and impose a responsibility to his men to follow ethical and legal guidelines.By adopting these or similar principles, companies can create opportunities to reduce current and future costs, strengthen competitiveness and market position and achieving greater profits.In contemporary business, more ecological component is present in the execution of business activities as an important prerequisite for improving competitive advantage and company image. Awareness of the issue of environmental protection in companies has evolved primarily as a result of the influence of customers and various non-governmental and non-profit organizations on marketing orientation of companies, and the requirements for the development of products and services that meet environmental standards and consumer needs.
GREEN MARKETING AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT – EXPERIENCES FROM REPUBLIC OF SERBIA
Authors: Branislav Radnovic , Ilic Milena , D. Zivkovic Zoran
Published: August 2017

The world must be developed according to the needs of people, but with the obligation of sustainable development as a comprehensive process that depress all aspects of life, at all levels.Sustainable development is about making models in a qualitative way to meet the socio-economic needs and interests of citizens, while eliminating or significantly reducing the impacts that threaten or harm the environment and natural resources.Sustainable development of mankind leads to a sustainable society in which man has good control of the planet and responsible custodian of heritage for future generations.Sustainable development is without a doubt, as a result of the coming dramatic changes requested in all areas of life of every individual. Changes are related to the change in our spending habits (which in itself is already hard enough) and the change of consciousness in the fields of economics, politics and society.Companies that are self-conscious to environment with potential for business and profits, also realize a significant contribution to environmental protection. These successful companies not only sell products to its customers and thus gain profits, but in the corporate commitment to make decisions for the care of their surroundings. In contrast to conventional producers, the most successful green companies direct their customers, or in advance know what needs to be made and the buyer offers an environmentally friendly product. Green companies are ready to address concerns about the natural environment.Green marketing is the primary segment of social marketing, because it covers the protection and preservation of the values necessary for survival, existence and development of man as a human being, reflecting the practical support the implementation of the philosophy of sustainable development of mankind.Green marketing presents important opportunities for industry and economy of the Republic of Serbia. Therefore Serbian companies must re-define the roles of business and products, as well as joint work with government agencies, consumer groups and NGOs. Serbia is becoming aware of environmental issues, but for green marketing businesses, companies, consumers and government still do not pay enough importance.

Rapid economic growth and irrational use of natural resources in the last decades of the XX century have influenced the changes in the environmental sphere and to specific environmental problems. These processes in the global economy and society, caused a disturbance of the environment by increasing pollution of the environment.Emerging problems of the entire human society can be solved by applying the concept of sustainable growth and development and raising awareness about the necessity of implementation of basic environmental standards in business. In order to reduce the harmful effects of production processes on the environment and to help meet the objective of sustainable development outlined at the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio De Janeiro in 1992 the ISO 14000 Standards were created.The essence of sustainable development is responsible development that meets the current needs a way to rationally use natural resources to ensure meeting the needs of future generations and environment protection.
“Green Pack” in Function of Green Marketing as a Form of Social Responsibility in Serbia
Authors: Raletić Saša , Beljanski Dragana
Published: August 2017

Green marketing is defined as a partnership of all interested stakeholders to sustainable development. This form of marketing is a relatively new form of social responsibility in Serbia and as such it is subject of this paper. The necessity of integration of green marketing in a social responsible behavior is justified by the fact that purely commercial marketing business ignores the possible conflict between short-term desires and long-term benefits of market entities and society, with regard to global environmental problems. The laws are the lower limits of business and the community social responsibility, which includes green marketing, a higher level. Whereas the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia in May 2009 adopted 16 laws on environmental protection, that is called the “Green Package”. Laws were passed with the aim of regulating the business and social responsibility and green marketing and development. The aim of this analysis is the “Green Package” as a basis for application of green marketing in Serbia. The work will result in efficiencies that are realized by applying the law of “green package” and point to existing gaps.
Marketing Sustainable Retail Development
Authors: Ilić Dragan , Stanković Jasmina
Published: August 2017

One of the primary benefits of sustainable retail over the long run has to be the marketing gain from having something other competitors do not: lower operating costs, a more socially responsible public profile, ease of gaining planning approval for new projects, better access to certain investment pools, higher rents (in the case of developers), ease of recruiting and retaining key people. Each of these benefits needs marketing and public relations support; each benefits from a clear and consistent corporate message that promotes sustainable retail.To date, there are very few retailers or developers who have championed sustainability long enough, consistently enough and with enough actual demonstration of changes in standard operations to gain the benefits of green marketing, but the very paucity of examples serves to underscore the point: the green marketing space is wide open for large retailers and developers.What would be the marketing steps that a company could take to benefit from its “sustainability focus?” The key to any marketing program is to differentiate a company’s actions from those of competitors and to do it along lines that its various stakeholders care about. This practice of differentiation is often expressed as “finding a difference that makes a difference, to someone who makes difference to you.”For retail developers, the first differentiator should be to attract more and better tenants to all of their centers, tenants who value lower operating costs and the developer’s program of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility.

The municipality as an entity of the local government and disposes defined rights and obligations, which are governed by the special regulations. In accordance with Act no. 211/2000 Coll. on free access to information, the municipality is mandatory publish and make available information that this Act also more specify. This paper focuses on availability of information from websites or other available sources. The basic set was represented by 91 municipalities of Prešov district, in which were surveyed a total of 75 data (6 identification and 69 financial). Within the implemented questioning, we can conclude especially the availability of identification data, for which there are multiple sources (eg. number of inhabitants). Overall, however, the municipalities did not provide the requested information, when up to 27 municipalities did not provide more than 5 data (including 3 identification). One of the outcomes is also a proving of small correlation between the volume of data obtained from the municipality and the number of its inhabitants, respectively the distance from the district town.

Including the monetary part in macro accounting: A ‘modern’ approach to the macroeconomic accounting
Authors: TUTULMAZ Onur
Published: August 2017

Economic output is placed at the heart of the macroeconomics. To calculate the output one needs to achieve simplifying a high level complexity of economic relationships to form a system. On the flip side, the model should be enough elaborated to be able to reflect the important relationships. In this manner, the classical macroeconomic identity as Keynes suggested is simple enough to understand the main elements but it does not show the financial parts of transactions. Not having the monetary part of the economy it lacks the coherence. With the financial and economic crises getting more frequent, more endeavour to build a more inclusive and coherent macroeconomic system has been observed. However, there are large variety in different options of simplifying and simulating complex relationships among the real and monetary part of the modern economies.  Our paper tries to set an analysis comparing some of the recent prominent ideas in building balance sheet and transaction flow matrix in regard to macroeconomic accounting system. We can conclude the new achievement of including the monetary transactions in the frame causes a compromise from the simplicity for a coherent and more complete picture of macro economy.

Postmodernist Identity Construction and Consumption
Authors: KARABABA Reyhan
Published: August 2017

Abstract. With the transition from modernism to postmodernism, identity as a concept has started to become redefined in sociology literature. The aim of this study is to show that postmodernism and symbolic interactionism are fused together to delineate both the scene as well as an actor’s identity. In that way, the interaction of a social structure with a culture that won’t be completely ignored, and, with the opinion that the categorized roles can skillfully be shaped and diversified by actors, it is possible to refrain from a pure determinism. But the transformation to enter different roles lacks meaning. Individuals pay more attention to their appearance more than who they are in order to be accepted by each group. In this manner, a metaphysical shell game begins. In the following study, the “Social Appearance Anxiety” was used as an indicator of this game.  And to determine who is willing to play the game, cultural parameters were utilized.       This study was based on the analysis of the data collected through two questionnaires given to 181 students studying at Hitit University. The INDCOL questionnaire [Singelis et al., 1995] measuring cultural values and “Social Appearance Anxiety” scale developed by [Hart, 2008] were used in the study.

Published: August 2017

Intellectual property as assets in intangible form is classified in most countries under the definitions of the TRIPS Agreement and PCT according to the manner of its protection. This article presents results of an analysis of relationship between the protection of intellectual property rights at certain globalization level and verification of their influence on economic indicators in the selected countries of the research sample – 32 countries of a similar intellectual property protection system under the PCT. An examination of the level of globalization as a quantitative marker was enabled by the KOF Index of Globalization. The time and cross-sectional data enabled to test 352 objections by applying a non-parametric statistical method – panel data regression with the effect of random cross-sectional variables. The conclusions show that there is a statistically significant probability of the relation between the quantity of registered patents and the level of gross domestic product, gross domestic product per capita and adjusted net national income.

THEORIES REGARDING THE ROLE OF THE GROWTH POLES IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC INTEGRATION
Authors: Avram Laurentia Georgeta , BRAGA VIORICA FILOFTEIA
Published: August 2017

The specialized literature stressed very little or not at all the role of the growth poles in the economic integration, although the development of the national economies depend on connecting the major urban centers in the regional economic system, continental and global levels. Conversely, integration and globalization of the economic, socio-political, cultural and the transition to a knowledge economy seem to be major factors in the transformation and restructuring of the growth poles and the urban systems dependent on them.
THEORY AND PRACTICE IN TEACHING ENGLISH ECONOMICSVOCABULARY
Authors: Tascovici Daliana Ecaterina
Published: August 2017

The present paper proposes to speak about teaching English economics vocabulary. So, at first, we make references to the key points and the issues which are raised by teaching and learning specific vocabulary: learners usually select the words they want to achieve; once learned, words move between active to passive status; one of teachers’ activities is to help students remember the acquired vocabulary; teachers should provide the correct exposure to words and opportunities for learners to practice them. Secondly, we will study examples of economics vocabulary teaching and show how discovery techniques can aid vocabulary acquisition.In the end we draw the conclusions, showing the importance and the active role of the discovery techniques in teaching English vocabulary.

Redes e Investimento Directo Estrangeiro
Authors: Santos J. Freitas , Ribeiro J. Cadima
Published: August 2017

O crescimento da concorrência internacional pela captação de Investimento Directo Externo (IDE) deixa transparecer o interesse dos países e regiões por um instrumento que pode canalizar recursos externos importantes para o seu crescimento económico. Na atração deste investimento, atribui-se tradicionalmente grande relevância à dotação do país/região de acolhimento em factores produtivos básicos e ao regime público de incentivos praticado, desvalorizando-se, amiúde, o processo de tomada de decisão por parte do investidor. Sabe-se, entretanto, que nesse processo, de natureza interativa, as redes (sociais, intra-empresariais, inter-empresariais e institucionais) desempenham um papel estratégico de mediação na recolha, selecção e processamento da informação sobre os países/ regiões de acolhimento. Os mecanismos de formação e actuação destas redes no processo de atracção de IDE são analisados neste artigo.

Applications of Inferred Origins, Destinations, and Interchanges in Bus Service Planning
Authors: Vanderwaart Catherine , Attanucci John P. , Salvucci Frederick P.
Published: August 2017

A growing number of researchers and transit agencies are using fare card and vehicle location data to infer passengers’ origins, destinations, and transfers. A number of researchers have suggested that these new data sets provide valuable information for transit network design, but few concrete applications have been developed to address bus network design and service planning problems. This paper proposes new service planning procedures to aggregate these automated data to examine travel patterns to specific locations of interest to propose needed improvements. The data from existing passengers’ trips are then analyzed to assess the benefits of the proposed service changes. In particular, the number of existing passengers who would likely experience shorter travel times with the service changes is calculated according to the geometry of how a proposed new or extended route intersects with the existing transit network. The results of this analysis provide planners with better information than is currently available to support decisions on how to allocate the scarce resources typically available for service changes. Several case studies from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority are presented to illustrate these analytical techniques.
Fare System of Urban Public Transportation Services in Davao City, Philippines
Authors: Ninomiya Shohei , Kato Hironori , Diaz Crispin Emmanuel D.
Published: August 2017

A model of modal choice and destination choice was developed to simulate urban travel demand in Davao City, Philippines, and to evaluate fare-setting scenarios relevant to the possible introduction of a new public transportation (PT) system. This nested logit model, combining modal choice and destination choice, was estimated with local person trip survey data collected in 2015 that included data points on 3,531 households, 7,639 individuals, and 15,372 trips. Then, six fare scenarios were developed, incorporating four elements of the fare system, boarding charge, per-kilometer charge, charge distance, and transfer charge, based on the fare system in use in the Philippines. Five evaluation indexes were then applied: average individual benefit, new PT operator’s profit, social surplus, modal share of PT, and regional equity with respect to accessibility. The results demonstrated that ( a) a lower fare increases an individual’s benefit from the trip, ( b) a new PT operator’s profit assumes positive values in a wide range of fare scenarios, ( c) a lower fare improves net social surplus, ( d) a lower fare leads to higher modal share of PT, and ( e) a higher fare tends to compromise the regional equity of accessibility. These results also suggest that from the viewpoint of enhancing social surplus, increasing the boarding charge is a preferable strategy at a higher fare level, whereas the mitigation of the per-kilometer charge is a preferable strategy at a lower fare level.
