Variable elasticity of substitution and economic growth in the neoclassical model
Authors: Gómez Manuel A. 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
We study the effect of factor substitutability in the neoclassical growth model with variable elasticity of substitution. We consider two otherwise identical economies differing uniquely in their initial factor substitutability with Variable-Elasticity-of-Substitution (VES), Sobelow or Sigmoidal technologies. If the initial capital per capita is below its steady-state value, the economy with the higher initial elasticity of substitution will feature a higher steady-state income and capital per capita irrespective of whether the production technology is VES, Sobelow or Sigmoidal. Numerical results are provided to compare the effect of a higher elasticity of substitution in the Constant-Elasticity-of-Substitution (CES) model versus the models with variable-elasticity-of-substitution technology.
Zionism and Political Liberalism: The Right of Scattered Nations to Self-Determination
Authors: Benbaji Yitzhak 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThis Article offers a defense of egalitarian Zionism that, unlike Chaim Gans’s argument for this view, does not appeal to the Jewish problem in justifying the Zionist requirement for a state with a dominant Jewish community. The argument extracts from the egalitarian principles that underlie John Rawls’s political liberalism, a conception of global justice according to which members of a scattered nation are entitled to a fair opportunity to establish a new state within which they enjoy the advantage of demographic dominance
In Pursuit of Political Imagination: Reflections on Diasporic Jewish History
Authors: Cooper Julie E. 
Published: September 2020

AbstractIn recent years, scholars of Jewish politics have invested political hopes in the revival of “political imagination.” If only we could recapture some of the imaginativeness that early Zionists displayed when wrestling with questions of regime design, it is argued, we might be able to advance more compelling “solutions” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Yet how does one cultivate political imagination? Curiously, scholars who rehearse the catalogue of regimes that Jews have historically entertained seldom pose this question. In this Article, I revisit a historical episode—the appropriation of diasporic historical narratives by Zionists in mandatory Palestine—in an effort to cultivate a richer political imaginary. I analyze the labor Zionist deployment of Simon Dubnow’s influential master narrative, focusing on a 1926 speech in which David Ben Gurion depicts the autonomist regime that he advocates as a variation upon diasporic political practices. On my reading, this episode illustrates the dilemmas that confront thinkers who invest political hopes in regime design. To realize the promise that new political configurations may emerge from reflections upon Jewish history, I argue, we must develop a new account of political agency, once foundational assumptions of the nation-state have been suspended.
Constructing “Private” Historical Justice in State-Building
Authors: Totry-Jubran Manal 
Published: September 2020

AbstractWealthy philanthropic individuals operating within private law have been largely absent from the historical justice narrative of states in transition and, consequently, from normative discussion regarding the justification of their actions under the auspices of the market. This Article seeks to fill this void by examining the “private” historical justice of Jewish state-building prior to the establishment of Israel. Specifically, it focuses on the legal history of Baron Edmond de Rothschild’s settlement project during the Ottoman and Mandate periods and investigates the project’s normative implications. The Baron was a fundamental actor in the design of the Palestinian/Israeli space, as he supported existing Jewish settlements and established new ones. He also built several public institutions that continue to exist to date. I argue that the Baron’s settlement project needs to be addressed from a multidimensional aspect with regard to different groups that were affected by it. On the one hand, his settlement project was just towards the Jewish settlement because it provided a shelter for Jewish immigrants who fled Europe, and it realized the Jews’ right of self-determination. On the other hand, his project resulted in the coercive displacement of an underprivileged local Arab population called the fellaheen and unjustly infringed on their territorial rights.
How the Law of Return Creates One Legal Order in Palestine
Authors: Jabareen Hassan 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThe prevailing discourse in Israeli academia on justifying the values of Israel as a “Jewish and democratic state” takes the form of a debate involving questions of group rights of a national minority, as in any liberal democracy. The framework of this discourse relies on three interconnected, hegemonic assertions. These assertions assume the applicability of equal individual rights, put aside the Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza as irrelevant for the “Jewishness” of the state as it belongs to a different rule of recognition, and conceptualize the Green Line based on majority-minority relations with Jewish group rights, including the Law of Return, as not leading to discrimination against individuals. I contend that these assertions are invalid and that colonialism is the relevant framework of Israel’s constitutional identity in Palestine (the Green Line, the West Bank including Jerusalem and Gaza). I argue there is one Constitution in Palestine based on one conception of sovereignty, regardless of any rules of recognition where the Law of Return, together with the value of “preserving a Jewish majority,” constitutes its very essence that targets the Palestinians as such. The Article presents a case-law study regarding family life between spouses and their children in Palestine. This case-law reveals an unfamiliar phenomenon. Unlike the plurality of written laws that characterize colonial regimes, the Israeli legal system introduces a unique model in which racial domination is created mostly by decisionism of the Court, out of the written laws and regardless of any rule of recognition.

Abstract

Objectives
Integration of the basic medical sciences with clinical medicine motivates medical students by showing how the fundamental concepts they have learned will come into their future practice. In this context, we created clinical integration sessions (CIS) in our first-year medical curriculum.

Methods
The instructors of different disciplines wrote the clinical scenarios together. The scenarios were discussed in five sessions with 39 first-year students. The first session’s scenario consisted of four brief “anemia” cases. The next four sessions included a single case, according to the feedback of the students. Students formed groups of 7–8 participants. In the first 2 h, the scenarios were discussed in the groups and questions were answered by the students. In the third hour, the instructors answered the questions together with the students. After the first CIS, written feedback obtained from the students via a survey.

Results
The survey provided positive feedback on the benefits of active learning within small group discussions, and most of the students thought that their background was sufficient to solve the cases, with some literature search.

Conclusion
The scenarios, which provide multidisciplinary integration of basic medical sciences and clinical medicine, can be useful educational materials.

Published: September 2020

Background and aims.The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the CADIAX Compact 2 axiograph in confirming the presumptive clinical diagnosis of temporomandibular dysfunction, established according to the muscular-articular clinical examination.
Methods. A retrospective analytical study was carried out on 50 patients, aged between 21 and 62 years, 31 women and 19 men. A clinical diagnosis was established after masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joints and mandibular border limit movements were assessed. During the same day a computerized axiography (Cadiax Compact 2, Gamma, Vienna, Austria) was performed in order to confirm the diagnosis.
Results. The study had a sensitivity of 100%, which means that the CADIAX device detected all clinically positive patients. On the other hand, the specificity of the study was 74%, representing the percentage of patients negatively diagnosed by CADIAX device out of the total number of patients clinically diagnosed as negative. The 88% accuracy shows the proportion in which the CADIAX device provides a diagnosis equal to the clinical one.
Conclusions. Of all the methods for investigating temporomandibular joint dysfunction, axiography is less invasive, does not irradiate the patient, it is relatively easy to use and it offers functional information about the TMJ function.
Comparing Orientation Analysis Methods for a Shallow-Water Ocean-Bottom Seismometer Array in the Bohai Sea, China

ABSTRACT
The horizontal orientation estimation of an ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) is critical for providing reliable data for seismological studies. In this article, we applied three independent polarization analysis methods to estimate the absolute horizontal orientation of a pilot shallow-water OBS array in Bohai Sea, China. The OBS array was deployed in the autumn of 2018 and comprised 32 broadband seismometers lasting around 1 yr, aimed at investigating the geodynamics of North China craton and adjacent areas. The timings of the data were corrected through the correlation analysis of regional and teleseismic earthquake events, before the polarization analysis. Polarization analysis using P wave and Rayleigh wave, from both natural earthquakes and noise cross correlations, was performed. In total, 28 out of 29 stations obtained the effective estimates combining the three methods, of which 11 stations showed relatively robust results with variations well below 10° among the three methods. However, the superiority of one method over the others is not obvious. As there is a trade-off between the accepted final estimates and the number of qualified measurements defined by parameters such as the correlation coefficient threshold, window length, and filtering options, we investigated these effects using 15 different groups of parameters for the three methods, and the deviation statistics showed a distribution with the root mean square deviation of 9.2° for the whole array.

Published: September 2020

Currently, rubella virus infections are very rare in many countries, and may not be recognized promptly. However, congenital rubella syndrome still appears, often in infants of mothers coming from countries with suboptimal vaccination programs. We describe a case of CRS in a full-term baby girl born to a foreign mother who documented perinatal antibodies against rubella. The baby had the classical abnormalities seen in infants with CRS include congenital cardiac and ocular anomalies. The diagnosis was confirmed by positive rubella serology in both infant and mother. Vaccination is the only known prophylactic measure for congenital rubella syndrome.

Measuring Setup for Investigation and Visualization of the Percolation Phenomenon in Non-Оrdered Models of Metal-Dielectric Nanocomposites
Authors: Okal P. 
Published: September 2020

The study uses the phenomenon of high voltage partial discharge to investigate the phenomenon of percolation and visualisation of the percolation channel. The phenomenon of partial discharges is very similar to the quantum tunneling phenomenon observed in metal-dielectric nanocomposites. In both cases the flow of alternating current occurs in the absence of direct contact between the metallic phase particles.A measuring stand was developed and constructed to test models of metal dielectric nanocomposites using high voltage partial discharge. The stand consists of a 110 kV high voltage transformer, a voltage regulator protecting the constant rate of high voltage rise, a measuring system consisting of a measuring probe, voltmeters and a computer. The communication between the measuring probe and the voltmeter was made in digital technology with the use of fiber optic technology, which allowed the meter to communicate with the computer without any errors and eliminated the interference caused by a strong electromagnetic field resulting from the use of high voltage.Systems modelling metal-dielectric composites were built, consisting of metallic elements in the form of disks, randomly distributed on the surface of the dielectric matrix. The number of disks was increased in series of 40 in each. The maximum number of disks was 1520. The dependence was determined of one of the important parameters characterising an partial discharge, i. e. the initial voltage, at which an electric current starts to flow between electrodes, on the concentration of the metallic phase. On the basis of these results, a percolation threshold was established for a matrix with a random distribution of metallic phase elements, the value of which is about 50 %. Films and pictures of partial discharges with visible percolation channels were taken with the camera with which the stand was equipped.
