Biased FDI spillovers in incomplete datasets: An empirical examination
Authors: Tusha Dea , Jordaan Jacob A. 
Published: December 2020

AbstractWe examine biases in foreign direct investment (FDI) productivity spillovers that can arise when using incomplete datasets, by comparing estimates for Indonesia from the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES)—an incomplete dataset example—with estimates from the Indonesian Manufacturing Survey (MS). Furthermore, we conduct estimations on samples drawn from MS, following the sampling methodology of WBES. We find that estimates with this sampling framework are inaccurate, due to measurement error in industry‐level horizontal and vertical FDI, strong presence of small firms, and small sample size. Relaxing the WBES sampling criteria and using FDI variables from MS produces substantially more reliable findings.

Published: December 2020

AbstractThis study is the first to provide information on the age‐related trajectories of performance in Para swimmers with physical, vision and intellectual impairment. Race times from long‐course swim meets between 2009 and 2019 were obtained for Para swimmers with an eligible impairment. A subset of 10 661 times from 411 Para swimmers were included in linear mixed effects modelling to establish the relationship between age and performance expressed relative to personal best time and world record time. The main findings were: (a) age has the most noticeable influence on performance between the ages of 12‐20 years before performances stabilize and peak in the early to late twenties, (b) women have faster times relative to personal best and world record time than men during early adolescence and their performances stabilize, peak and decline at younger ages, and (c) Para swimmers from different sport classes show varying age‐related trajectories in performance after maturation and when training‐related factors are more likely to explain competitive swim performance. The results of this study can guide talent identification and development of Para swimmers at various stages of their career and help to inform decision‐making on the allocation of sport class and sport class status in Para swimming classification.
Schwarzschild black hole states and entropies on a nice slice
Authors: Rosabal J. A. 
Published: December 2020

AbstractIn this work, we define a quantum gravity state on a nice slice. The nice slices provide a foliation of spacetime and avoid regions of strong curvature. We explore the topology and the geometry of the manifold obtained from a nice slice after evolving it in complex time. We compute its associated semiclassical thermodynamics entropy for a 4d Schwarzschild black hole. Despite the state one can define on a nice slice is not a global pure state, remarkably, we get a similar result to Hawking’s calculation. In the end, we discuss the entanglement entropy of two segments on a nice slice and comment on the relation of this work with the replica wormhole calculation.
Impacts of Low-Frequency Internal Climate Variability and Greenhouse Warming on El Niño–Southern Oscillation
Authors: Ng Benjamin , Cai Wenju , Cowan Tim , Bi Daohua 
Published: December 2020

AbstractEl Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant mode of interannual climate fluctuations with wide-ranging socioeconomic and environmental impacts. Understanding the eastern Pacific (EP) and central Pacific (CP) El Niño response to a warmer climate is paramount, yet the role of internal climate variability in modulating their response is not clear. Using large ensembles, we find that internal variability generates a spread in the standard deviation and skewness of these two El Niño types that is similar to the spread of 17 models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) that realistically simulate ENSO diversity. Based on 40 Community Earth System Model Large Ensemble (CESM-LE) and 99 Max Planck Institute for Meteorology Grand Ensemble (MPI-GE) members, unforced variability can explain more than 90% of the historical EP and CP El Niño standard deviation and all of the ENSO skewness spread in the 17 CMIP5 models. Both CESM-LE and the selected CMIP5 models show increased EP and CP El Niño variability in a warmer climate, driven by a stronger mean vertical temperature gradient in the upper ocean and faster surface warming of the eastern equatorial Pacific. However, MPI-GE shows no agreement in EP or CP standard deviation change. This is due to weaker sensitivity to the warming signal, such that when the eastern equatorial Pacific surface warming is faster, the change in upper ocean vertical temperature gradient tends to be weaker. This highlights that individual models produce a different ENSO response in a warmer climate, and that considerable uncertainty within the CMIP5 ensemble may be caused by internal climate variability.

Published: December 2020

Purpose: The incidence of type II endoleaks (ELII) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) ranges from 10–44%. Aneurysm thrombus density after EVAR could predict successful aneurysm exclusion. Materials and Methods: Twenty-seven patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who had a CT scan within the first 45 days (early group) post-surgery or after 7 months (late group) were included. Thrombus density was analyzed on non-contrast enhanced CT scans. Results: A total of 5/13 (38%) patients in the early group had an ELII and 9/14 (64.3%) in the late group had a persistent ELII since surgery. In the early group, thrombus density was similar in patients with or without an ELII (mean: 39.9 ± 4.8 vs. 41.9 ± 3.4, p = 0.7; median: 38.7 ± 4.8 vs. 39.7 ± 3.1, p = 0.8). In patients with an ELII, there was no difference in thrombus density at 45 days and after 7 months (mean: 39.9 ± 4.8 vs. 40.2 ± 2.1, p = 0.9; median: 38.7 ± 4.8 vs. 38 ± 2.6, p = 0.9). In patients without an ELII, thrombus density was significantly higher at 45 days than after 7 months (mean: 41.9 ± 3.44 vs. 25.7 ± 2.0, p = 0.005; median: 39.7 ± 3.11 vs. 24.4 ± 1.5, p = 0.004). In patients with an ELII, thrombus density was significantly higher after 7 months than in patients without an ELII (mean: 40.2 ± 2.1 vs. 25.7 ± 2.0. p = 0.001; median: 38 ± 2.6 vs. 24.4 ± 1.5, p = 0.003). Conclusion: Low thrombus density after EVAR on late unenhanced CT scans predicts aneurysm exclusion.

Published: December 2020

Background Planovalgus deformity of the foot is common among cerebral palsy (CP) patients. It is an upcoming topic with debate and controversy that require further studies. Many clinical studies involving arthroereisis have shown acceptable results in short- and mid-term follow-up. The aim of this work was to evaluate the outcome of arthroereisis using a conventional screw placed percutaneously across the talocalcaneal articulation for the treatment of moderate planovalgus deformity in children with CP. Methods Between 2015 and 2018, a prospective study was conducted including 23 CP patients with bilateral flexible planovalgus deformity with follow-up period ranging from 24 to 40 months (mean of 36.7 months). The radiological and clinical outcomes were assessed. The patient/parent outcome was evaluated using the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for Children (OxAFQ-C). Results The results showed statistically significant improvement in both radiological and clinical data as well as patient’s symptoms and parent’s satisfaction. Conclusion Results obtained from literature from the past decades after arthroereisis for the correction of moderate planovalgus deformity in CP patients are promising. The few studies reported on that procedure shared the same harmony with our study giving a chance to be a good alternative to joint destructive procedures. Our technique is simple, effective, economical, and minimally invasive if used in selected pediatric CP patients. Levels of Evidence Therapeutic, Level IV
Integrative approach for detecting membrane proteins
Authors: Alballa Munira , Butler Gregory 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background
Membrane proteins are key gates that control various vital cellular functions. Membrane proteins are often detected using transmembrane topology prediction tools. While transmembrane topology prediction tools can detect integral membrane proteins, they do not address surface-bound proteins. In this study, we focused on finding the best techniques for distinguishing all types of membrane proteins.

Results
This research first demonstrates the shortcomings of merely using transmembrane topology prediction tools to detect all types of membrane proteins. Then, the performance of various feature extraction techniques in combination with different machine learning algorithms was explored. The experimental results obtained by cross-validation and independent testing suggest that applying an integrative approach that combines the results of transmembrane topology prediction and position-specific scoring matrix (Pse-PSSM) optimized evidence-theoretic k nearest neighbor (OET-KNN) predictors yields the best performance.

Conclusion
The integrative approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and MCC, where the accuracy reached a 92.51% in independent testing, compared to the 89.53% and 79.42% accuracies achieved by the state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract
Background
Individual perceptions of personal and national threats posed by COVID-19 shaped initial response to the pandemic. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in residents’ awareness about COVID-19 and to characterize those who were more aware and responsive during the early stages of the pandemic in Louisiana.

Methods
In response to the mounting threat of COVID-19, we added questions to an ongoing food preference study held at Louisiana State University from March 3rd through March 12th, 2020. We asked how likely it was that the spread of the coronavirus will cause a national public health crisis and participants’ level of concern about contracting COVID-19 by attending campus events. We used regression and classification tree analysis to identify correlations between these responses and (a) national and local COVID case counts; (b) personal characteristics and (c) randomly assigned information treatments provided as part of the food preference study.

Results
We found participants expressed a higher likelihood of an impending national crisis as the number of national and local confirmed cases increased. However, concerns about contracting COVID-19 by attending campus events rose more slowly in response to the increasing national and local confirmed case count. By the end of this study on March 12th, 2020 although 89% of participants agreed that COVID-19 would likely cause a public health crisis, only 65% of the participants expressed concerns about contracting COVID-19 from event attendance. These participants were significantly more likely to be younger students, in the highest income group, and to have participated in the study by responding to same-day, in-person flyer distribution.

Conclusions
These results provide initial insights about the perceptions of the COVID-19 public health crisis during its early stages in Louisiana. We concluded with suggestions for universities and similar institutions as in-person activities resume in the absence of widespread vaccination.

Abstract
Background
The current COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge of research activity. While this research provides important insights, the multitude of studies results in an increasing fragmentation of information. To ensure comparability across projects and institutions, standard datasets are needed. Here, we introduce the “German Corona Consensus Dataset” (GECCO), a uniform dataset that uses international terminologies and health IT standards to improve interoperability of COVID-19 data, in particular for university medicine.

Methods
Based on previous work (e.g., the ISARIC-WHO COVID-19 case report form) and in coordination with experts from university hospitals, professional associations and research initiatives, data elements relevant for COVID-19 research were collected, prioritized and consolidated into a compact core dataset. The dataset was mapped to international terminologies, and the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard was used to define interoperable, machine-readable data formats.

Results
A core dataset consisting of 81 data elements with 281 response options was defined, including information about, for example, demography, medical history, symptoms, therapy, medications or laboratory values of COVID-19 patients. Data elements and response options were mapped to SNOMED CT, LOINC, UCUM, ICD-10-GM and ATC, and FHIR profiles for interoperable data exchange were defined.

Conclusion
GECCO provides a compact, interoperable dataset that can help to make COVID-19 research data more comparable across studies and institutions. The dataset will be further refined in the future by adding domain-specific extension modules for more specialized use cases.
The politics of the excluded: abjection and reconciliation amongst the British precariat
Authors: Savage Mike , Meersohn Schmidt Cynthia 
Published: December 2020

AbstractIn this paper, we use a powerful empirical resource to address what the popular politics of disadvantage might entail in contemporary Britain. We take advantage of the unusually rich qualitative data from the British National Child Development Study, a cohort of Britons born in 1 week in 1958, to focus specifically on the accounts of those who are particularly disadvantaged. By concentrating on these a small number of qualitative accounts, which have been rigorously selected from the wider nationally representative sample on the basis of their relatively small amounts of economic and cultural capital, we will explore in detail the accounts and identities of these disadvantaged Britons with a view to explicating their political frameworks, their social identities and more broadly their orientations towards mobilisation.
The value and benefit of narrative medicine for psychiatric practice
Authors: Dosani Sabina 
Published: December 2020

SummaryThis article describes how applying techniques from literary studies and considering patient histories as texts helps me understand and formulate systemic issues in psychiatric assessments. Psychiatrists are not generally taught to pay close attention to aspects of language, including metaphor and syntax, but I argue that paying attention to the form, as well as to the content, of the stories patients bring us, can make us better attuned to the contexts of their needs and distress, and therefore better placed to help.

Published: December 2020

Несмотря на давние традиции в изучении видовых характеристик турецкого глагола, грамматическая категория аспектуальности продолжает оставаться дискуссионной и заслуживает самого пристального внимания со стороны лингвистов. В трудах ученых-тюркологов можно встретить самые разные толкования статуса глагольных форм, отягощенных аспектуальным значением.Цель исследования. Выявить аспектуальные параметры турецкого глагола в пределах функционально-семантической категории аспектуальности, синтезировав воззрения известных лингвистов-тюркологов и собственные наблюдения.Методологической базой исследования стал диалектический принцип единства формы и содержания в его двух наиболее существенных ипостасях: семасиологический и ономасиологический.Результаты. В статье делается вывод о том, что функциональная роль морфологической категории вида и лексико-грамматической категории способов действия идентична, т.к. обе упомянутые категории объединяет их аспектуальная ориентированность. Однако при этом не следует забывать и об их существенном различии: облигаторности распространения морфологической категории вида практически на всю парадигму глагольного спряжения и необязательности такого рода требования к лексико-грамматической категории способов действия.Область применения результатов. Результаты проведенного анализа могут найти применение в повседневных дидактических процессах: способствовать совершенствованию методики преподавания соответствующих разделов теоретической и практической грамматики турецкого языка.

Background
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a disorder of unknown etiology in which immune-mediated liver injury progress to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of the present study was to determine whether circulating soluble TIM3 (sTIM3) is elevated in patients with AIH patients and whether sTIM-3 levels are associated with clinical parameters of AIH.

Methods
We enrolled 123 Japanese patients with AIH who were identified from the National Hospital Organization–AIH-liver–network database, as well as 32 patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), 30 patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and healthy control subjects. Serum sTIM-3 concentrations were quantified by ELISA.

Results
Serum levels of sTIM-3 were significantly higher in AIH patients (median 4865 pg/ml; [interquartile range (IQR); 3122–7471]) compared to those in CHC (1026 pg/ml [IQR: 806–1283] p<0.001), PBC (2395 pg/ml [IQR: 2012–3422] p<0.001) or healthy controls (1285 pg/ml [IQR: 1098–1812] p<0.001). In AIH group, serum sTIM-3 were correlated with alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or total bilirubin (TB) and negatively correlated with serum levels of albumin (Alb). Serum levels of sTIM-3 were also strongly correlated with Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) levels, but did not correlate with the histological grade of liver fibrosis. Steroid treatment of AIH patients significantly reduced serum sTIM-3 levels (2147±623pg/ml versus 1321±378pg/ml, p<0.001).

Conclusions
Circulating sTIM-3 levels were elevated in AIH patients and are associated with AIH disease activity and AIH-related liver damage. These findings indicate that serum sTIM-3 correlated with disease status of AIH and could be useful biomarkers to detect autoimmune-mediated liver injury. Our data suggest a possible link between the TIM-3/GAL-9 pathway and AIH severity or phenotype, and further investigations of the TIM-3 pathway and AIH pathophysiology is warranted.

Published: December 2020

IntroductionOne argument for introducing research in bachelor`s degree in health care is to ensure the quality of future health care delivery. The requirements for research-based education have increased, and research on how research-based education is experienced is limited, especially in bachelor health care education programmes. The aim of this study was to explore how occupational therapy students and faculty members experienced and perceived research-based education.MethodsThis qualitative, interpretative description consisted of three focus group interviews with occupational therapy students in their final year (n = 8, 6 and 4), and three focus group interviews with faculty members affiliated with occupational therapy programmes in Norway (n = 5, 2 and 5). Interviewing both students and faculty members enabled us to explore the differences in their experiences and perceptions.ResultsFive integrative themes emerged from the analysis: “introducing research early”, “setting higher expectations”, “ensuring competence in research methods”, “having role models” and “providing future best practice”. Research was described as an important aspect of the occupational therapy bachelor program as it helps ensure that students achieve the necessary competence for offering future best practice. Students expressed a need to be introduced to research early in the program, and they preferred to have higher expectations regarding use of research. Competence in research methods and the importance of role models were also highlighted.ConclusionsUndergraduate health care students are expected to be competent in using research. Findings from our study demonstrated that the participants perceived the use of research during training as important to ensure future best practice. Increasing the focus on research in the programme’s curricula and efforts to improve students’ formal training in research-specific skills could be a starting point towards increased use of research in the occupational therapy profession.
