KLEMS growth accounting implemented in Poland1
Authors: Kotlewski Dariusz , Błażej Mirosław 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
The aim of the article is to present the main body of the KLEMS growth accounting recently implemented in Poland. The works on the KLEMS productivity accounting in Poland started in 2013 and focused on areas such as the development of methodology and the availability and assessment of data. These efforts enabled preparing KLEMS data sets pertaining to the Polish economy and moreover proved that unavailable data can be effectively estimated. Additionally, interesting but complex and debatable results were obtained, such as labour hoarding together with remunerations’ freezing around the 2009 crisis, accompanied by a natural drop in the capital contribution growth and an increase in the MFP contribution, which most probably indicated effective reorganizations in the economy. In the years 2012–2014, increasing labour and capital contributions did not fully translate into gross value added growth, which led to negative MFP growths, as these are calculated residually. This, however, changed completely in the last two years of the time span covered by the research, namely in 2015-2016. An industry-level analysis became also possible, showing that the Polish economy was developing dynamically and undergoing intensive modernisation, which was obtained, however, with a debatable contribution of the State. To study the debatable features of the Polish economy in a greater detail, a further decomposition of the labour factor growth into four sub-factor contributions instead of two sub-factor contributions was performed. This additional analysis confirmed that labour hoarding phenomenon specific for Poland contributed to a softer impact of the 2007–09 financial crisis on this country’s economy.

Published: March 2020

The development procedure and the psychometric properties of the Buenos Aires Loneliness Scale (BALS) are presented. An initial set of 40 items was analyzed by means of the expert judgment method. After that, the 16 selected items were administered to a convenience sample comprised of 509 adult participants (53 % of which were female). The Argentine version of the UCLA-LS (University of California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale), the Argentine version of the Balanced Inventory of Socially Desirable Responding, and loneliness self-perception questions were applied in conjunction with the BALS. Exploratory factor analysis showed evidence of unidimensionality, with an adequate internal consistency (alpha=.80, ordinal alpha=.87), and seven items were kept. Correlations with the criterion measures yielded the expected results and no gender-based differential item functioning was found. Conclusions were reached about the adequate psychometric properties of the BALS, the limitations of the present study, and the goals for future research.

Transcendence and Immanence: Teacher Professionalism in Islamic Religious Perspectives
Authors: Hady Soufian 
Published: March 2020

The purpose of this research is to describe what is essence of professionalism teacher in Islamic perspective. This research uses library research. The results showed that the professionalism of teachers in Islam is based on two basic criteria, namely a call of life (Abdullah; transcendence) and expertise (khalifatullah; immanence). Therefore, the Professional teachers in Islam have the dual task of being carriers of religious (trancendence) and scientific missions (immanence). The first mission of professional teacher is to convey the da'wah and values of religious teachings to students, so students can live their lives in accordance with religious norms and have an awareness that all their actions are worthy of pure worship only for their Lord. While the second mission (immanence) of a teacher is to bring students to be intelligent student and master the latest knowledge according to students' interests. Hopefully this idea can be the spirit of future teacher professional development such as the implementation of Teacher Professional Education (TPE / PPG).Keywords: transcendence; immanence: teacher professionalism; Islamic religious; Teacher Professional Education; TPE AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan esensi profesionalisme dalam perspektif Islam. Metode penelitian menggunakan studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa profesionalisme guru dalam Islam pada dasarnya didasarkan pada dua kriteria dasar, yaitu panggilan hidup (transendensi Abdillah) dan keahlian (khalifatullah immanence). Oleh karena itu, para guru profesional dalam Islam memiliki tugas ganda yaitu menjadi pembawa misi keagamaan (trancendence) dan misi ilmiah (imanensi). Misi pertama guru profesional adalah untuk menyampaikan dakwah dan nilai-nilai ajaran agama kepada siswa, sehingga siswa dapat menjalani kehidupan mereka sesuai dengan norma-norma agama dan memiliki kesadaran bahwa semua tindakan mereka layak ibadah murni hanya untuk Tuhan mereka. Sedangkan misi kedua (imanensi) seorang guru adalah membawa siswa menjadi siswa yang cerdas dan menguasai pengetahuan terbaru sesuai dengan minat siswa.Kiranya hal ini bisa menjadi semangat pengembangan profesi guru mendatang seperti pelaksanaan Pendidikan Profesi Guru (PPG).Kata Kunci: transendensi; imanensi: profesionalisme guru; agam Islam; Pendidikan Profesi Guru (PPG)
Experimental investigation of turbulent flows through a boulder array placed on a permeable bed

Published: March 2020

AbstractGlass beads were used to model permeable beds and boulders (simulated by plastic spherical balls) placed on the centre section of the bed. Flume experiments were conducted to investigate the hydrodynamics through a boulder array over impermeable and permeable beds (i.e. IMPB and PB). For background reference, hydrodynamics investigation was made over smooth beds (SB) with the boulder array. Through measuring the instantaneous velocity field, the major flow characteristics such as mean flow velocity, turbulence intensity, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and instantaneous Reynolds stresses (through quadrant analysis) were presented. The results show that the increase in bed permeability through decreasing the exposure height of boulders has little impact on the magnitude of streamwise velocity, but tends to decrease the near-bed velocity gradient, thus affecting the bed shear-stress. For turbulence, similar to the previous studies, the bed permeability is identified to enable a downward shift of the peak of turbulence intensity. The TKE budget analysis shows that bed permeability tends to inhibit the transport and diffusion processes of TKE generation. Finally, the quadrant analysis of turbulence structure clearly shows that the ejections (Q2) and sweeps (Q4) with and without the boulder array are dominated by turbulence structure of different scales.

Published: March 2020

:
Nanomedicine has revolutionized the field of cancer detection and treatment by enabling the delivery
of imaging agents and therapeutics into cancer cells. Cancer diagnostic and therapeutic agents can be either encapsulated
or conjugated to nanosystems and accessed to the tumor environment through the passive targeting
approach (EPR effect) of the designed nanomedicine. It may also actively target the tumor exploiting conjugation
of targeting moiety (like antibody, peptides, vitamins, and hormones) to the surface of the nanoparticulate system.
Different diagnostic agents (like contrast agents, radionuclide probes and fluorescent dyes) are conjugated with
the multifunctional nanoparticulate system to achieve simultaneous cancer detection along with targeted therapy.
Nowadays targeted drug delivery, as well as the early cancer diagnosis is a key research area where nanomedicine
is playing a crucial role. This review encompasses the significant recent advancements in drug delivery as well as
molecular imaging and diagnosis of cancer exploiting polymer-based, lipid-based and inorganic nanoparticulate
systems.

Published: March 2020

Background:
Nanoparticle imaging and tracking the release of the loaded material from the nanoparticle
system have attracted significant attention in recent years. If the release of the loaded molecules could be
monitored reliably in vivo, it would speed up the development of drug delivery systems remarkably.

Methods:
Here, we test a system that uses indocyanine green (ICG) as a fluorescent agent for studying release
kinetics in vitro and in vivo from the lipid iron nanoparticle delivery system. The ICG spectral properties like its
concentration dependence, sensitivity and the fluctuation of the absorption and emission wavelengths can be
utilized for gathering information about the change of the ICG surrounding.

Results:
We have found that the absorption, fluorescence, and photoacoustic spectra of ICG in lipid iron nanoparticles
differ from the spectra of ICG in pure water and plasma. We followed the ICG containing liposomal
nanoparticle uptake into squamous carcinoma cells (SCC) by fluorescence microscopy and the in vivo uptake into
SCC tumors in an orthotopic xenograft nude mouse model under a surgical microscope.

Conclusion:
Absorption and emission properties of ICG in the different solvent environment, like in plasma and
human serum albumin, differ from those in aqueous solution. Photoacoustic spectral imaging confirmed a peak
shift towards longer wavelengths and an intensity increase of ICG when bound to the lipids. The SCC cells
showed that the ICG containing liposomes bind to the cell surface but are not internalized in the SCC-9 cells after
60 minutes of incubation. We also showed here that ICG containing liposomal nanoparticles can be traced under a
surgical camera in vivo in orthotopic SCC xenografts in mice.
Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Trace Metals from Sediments using Dilute Hydrogen Peroxide and Dilute Nitric Acid Prior to their Determination by Inductively Couple Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry
Authors: Mokoena Dibueng P. , Mngadi Sihle V. , Nomngongo Philiswa N. 
Published: March 2020

Background and Objectives:
Contamination of aquatic sediments by trace metals is one
of the global problems. This is because trace metals in sediments are persistent and nonbiodegradable.
They may pose danger to flora and fauna since they can be released into freshwater
systems. This study aimed at the development of microwave-assisted extraction using diluted hydrogen
peroxide and nitric acid for extraction of trace elements from sediment samples prior to inductively
coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) determination.

Methods:
Response surface methodology (RSM) based on the Box-Behnken design was used for the
optimization of factors affecting the microwave-assisted extraction process. The optimum conditions,
for quantitative extraction of trace metals such as Cd2+, Cu2+, Cr2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ were 16 min, 1.5 mol L-1
and 15% for extraction time, nitric acid concentration and H2O2 concentration, respectively.

Results and Discussion:
Under optimized conditions, the accuracy of the method was evaluated by
analyzing loamy clay certified reference materials (CRM052) and the recoveries were above 92%,
suggesting that the obtained results were in good agreement with the certified values. The developed
method has shown reproducibility (RSD < 5%), as well as relative low limits of detection (0.02-0.09 μg g-1)
and limit of quantitation (0.07-0.3 μg g-1). The developed analytical method was applied for extraction
and the determination of trace metals in freshwater sediment samples.

Conclusions:
The method displayed advantages such as simplicity, rapidity, environmentally friendly
and safe compared to classical methods that are based on concentrated acids.

Published: March 2020

Background:Adenovirus is associated with respiratory tract infections in children worldwide. However, there is insufficient data about adenovirus infections in Egyptian children and the genotypes present in this infection.Objective:The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of adenovirus and its genotypes in respiratory tract infection in children by real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study that included 100 children complaining of respiratory tract infections signs and symptoms. Laboratory investigation for adenovirus included real-time polymerase chain reaction and genotypes detection by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).Results:Adenovirus was detected by PCR for fiber gene in 11% with genotype 3 in 6 samples (54.5%) and genotype 7 in 5 samples (45.5%) positive for adenovirus by Multiplex PCR. The main presenting symptoms and signs in children with adenovirus detected by PCR were cough, fever, wheezing, and croups (90.9%, 81.1%, 63.6%, and 63.6%, respectively). The diagnosis in children with adenovirus was pneumonia in 72.7% and bronchitis in 27.7%. There were statistically insignificant differences in demographic, clinical, and hematological parameters between children with adenovirus and children negative to adenovirus by PCR.Conclusion:The clinical characteristics of respiratory infections with adenovirus vary upon the age of the patients and the immune status. Therefore, there is a requirement for an extensive study of adenovirus in respiratory infections in children with different ages and immune status.
El concepto de teoría empírica según van Fraassen
Authors: Pérez Ransanz Ana Rosa 
Published: March 2020

En los años setenta cristaliza un nuevo enfoque en la filosofía de la ciencia, el cual venía gestándose desde diferentes direcciones. Se conforma una concepción de teoría empírica —tanto de su naturaleza como de su estructura y función esencialmente distinta de las hasta entonces prevalecientes.
Para entender la novedad de este enfoque debemos señalar el común denominador de todas las concepciones anteriores. Tomando tres de las corrientes más representativas de la filosofía contemporánea de la ciencia —el empirismo lógico, la escuela de Popper y la corriente historicista—, podemos darnos cuenta de que a pesar de sus radicales e insalvables diferencias, en todas ellas el análisis de las teorías se realiza a través del estudio de sus formulaciones lingüísticas.
Incluso algunos autores llegan a identificar las teorías con sus formulaciones lingüísticas. De aquí la denominación de “enfoque sintáctico” o “concepción enunciativista”. El ataque a esta concepción enunciativista ha sido emprendido por varios autores que, aunque provienen de tradiciones diversas, tratan de forjar un concepto de teoría más adecuado, tomando como noción central la noción de modelo o aplicación. Los análisis realizados en esta dirección pueden agruparse de manera global bajo el rubro de concepción semántica o concepción modelo-teórica.
Dentro de esta concepción existen varias líneas de desarrollo. Sólo me referiré a dos de ellas. La primera es la concepción estructural que parte de los trabajos de P. Suppes y es desarrollada principalmente por Sneed, Stegmüler y U. Moulines. La segunda línea es la concepción del espacio-de-estados o espacio-de-fases, que ha sido desarrollada por Evert Beth, Bas van Fraassen y F. Suppe, quienes también parten de los trabajos de P. Suppes y de ciertos análisis pioneros de von Neumann.
En este trabajo no me ocuparé de las críticas que desde la concepción semántica se hacen al enfoque enunciativista. Mi objetivo presente es analizar el concepto de teoría propuesto por van Fraassen, comparándolo en ciertos aspectos con el propuesto por la concepción estructural.
La reducción ontológica y sus problemas
Authors: Rodríguez Consuegra Francisco 
Published: March 2020

I try to show here how, when and why Quine’s doctrine of ontological reduction evolved, and also the links which can be traced between that doctrine, Russell’s view of reduction (or construction] as “new knowledge”, and Benacerraf’s ideas. In addition, I discuss some relevant criticisms of Quine' s position, mainly those by Tharp, Chihara and Steiner.
After a section trying to unify Quine’s main theses as proceeding from the paraphrastical methods of Russell’s theory of descriptions, I hold that Quine’s evolution towards a deeper sort of ontological reduction was a result of his attempts to clarify the difficulties of his original explanation of mathematical reduction. Thus, the doctrine of mathematical reduction in Word and Object, which was an important source of inspiration to Benacerraf and others, was only a first draft where Quine’s pragmatism shows the diverse reconstructions of the same mathematical concepts to be equivalent and also all correct, despite their possible incompatibility with the only condition to play the relevant roles. The general context then was one of increasing ontological relativity, but the underlying identification of reduction and elimination was —I think so— the main idea. A similar position was held in Set Theory and its Logic, where Quine put the emphasis on the fact that a model for arithmetic is provided simply by introducing a set-theoretical interpretation which would be able to preserve truth.
However, in 1964 a turning point appears: now there is a distinction between two different ontological reductions, one attempting only to replace certain entities by constructions playing their roles, the other attempting also to eliminate the original entities as well, by showing their dispensability. The reason was that Quine realized that through the Löwenheim-Skolem theorem we should accept that any theory can be reduced to natural numbers, which seemed to him trivial, but met his previous criterion for acceptable reductions. Then he introduced the need for a “proxy function” admitting as arguments all the objects of the universe of the first theory, taking values in the universe of the second theory, and having to be formulated in a third “inclusive” theory. As this condition is not met by the “reduction” inferred from the Löwenheim-Skolem theorem, it was not a “true” ontological reduction.

La “Ley Box” y la prensa mexicana (1929-1930)
Authors: Alanís Enciso Fernando Saúl 
Published: March 2020

El artículo analiza las principales opiniones que provocó, en la prensa mexicana independiente, la iniciativa de ley que el congresista texano John Box promovió entre 1929 y 1930, cuyo objetivo central fue que el gobierno de Estados Unidos implantara una cuota a la inmigración procedente de México. Muestra que los discursos de la prensa giraron en torno a cuatro temas: 1) declaraciones acerca de cómo la iniciativa humillaba a México y sus ciudadanos; 2) algunos insultos a Estados Unidos y recriminaciones debido a su manera de actuar; 3) consideración acerca de que, medidas como estas, provocaban tensión en las relaciones entre ambos países y 4) comentarios acerca de los efectos positivos que para México tendría. La hipótesis central del trabajo es que estas opiniones son las primeras que se dieron en México en el siglo XX respecto a una propuesta legislativa impulsada en Estados Unidos tendiente a restringir la inmigración mexicana. De ahí su relevancia.
