Authors: Gwanshak Joshua Yohanna , Gyang Luka Dung 
Published: March 2021

Risk tolerance is a subject that has been explored extensively globally, where predictors such as age, education level, earnings, status, occupation and weather or climate change has been proved to influence rural-urban migration. This research is necessitated to identify areas of rural migrant’s risk tolerance in urban centres of Plateau State, with the stated objective of, examining the rural migrant’s areas of risk tolerance, ascertain rural migrant’s self-assessment capacity and competence base towards risk tolerance. In the study respondents were selected only if they were rural migrants using purposive sampling techniques of a sample size of 1325 respondents. Primary data were collected using Structured Questionnaire (SRQ), Interview and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) processes. Out of 1325, 128 of the respondents were selected based on recommendation as knowledgeable informant using snowball sampling. A linear regression analysis was used to test the significance of rural migrant’s risk tolerance. The result revealed that areas of risk tolerance identified marital status, occupation, age, pursuit of education, and Job opportunities as significant to rural migrants risk tolerance in the study. And migrants were flexible towards adapting to any situation, handle problems better and were willing to take higher risks to adapt to urban centre. It is on this note that rural migrants have high self- assessment capacity and competence base potential to risk tolerance in urban centres of Plateau State.

Published: March 2021

IntroductionIn this study, we studied the clinical value of using urothelial cancer-associated 1 (UCA1) and microRNA-16 (miR-16) as biomarkers for the diagnosis of pre-eclampsia (PE). Also, we compared the diagnostic values of miR-16, UCA1 and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) in PE. Furthermore, we investigated the interaction between miR-16 and UCA1/PAPP-A.Material and methods128 PE patients and 172 healthy pregnant women were enrolled in this study. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was carried out to predict the diagnostic values of UCA1, miR-16 and PAPP-A in PE. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay, computational analysis, and luciferase assay were conducted to measure the differential expression of UCA1, miR-16, and PAPP-A while establishing a signaling pathway of UCA1/miR-16/PAPP-A.ResultsCompared with miR-16 and PAPP-A, UCA1 exhibited a better value in the diagnosis of PE. The expression of PAPP-A and UCA1 was down-regulated while the expression of miR-16 was up-regulated in patients with PE, especially in patients with HELLP pregnancies. Moreover, UCA1 was identified as a sponge of miR-16, while PAPP-A mRNA was identified as a virtual target gene of miR-16. Finally, a negative regulatory relationship was observed between the expression of miR-16 and UCA1 or PAPP-A, while the expression of UCA1 and PAPP-A were positively related.ConclusionsTaken together, UCA1 could be used as a more valuable biomarker in the diagnosis of PE. Meanwhile, the reduced expression of UCA1 could exert a positive effect by reducing the expression of PAPP-A in the pathogenesis of PE.

IntroductionThis study aimed to evaluate the prophylactic antiviral therapy in low-risk patients with the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infections during chemotherapy.Material and methodsFrom January 2011 to March 2018, HBsAg-positive patients were analyzed in this retrospective study. The HBV reactivation, related hepatitis, chemotherapy delay, and fulminant hepatic failure in low-risk patients between the prophylactic anti-HBV therapy (prophylaxis group) and the non-prophylactic anti-HBV therapy group (control group) were compared.ResultsThere were 68 patients in the prophylaxis group and 102 patients in the control group. The rusult showed that the HBV reactivation was not significantly different between the prophylaxis group and the control group (P=0.741). Three and 5 patients with HBV-related hepatitis were detected in the prophylaxis and control groups, respectively. Moreover, 2 and 4 patients with HBV activation-related chemotherapy delay were detected in the two groups, respectively, without any significant difference (P>0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that HBV DNA titer was associated with HBV reactivation in low-risk patients (P=0.001).ConclusionsProphylactic antiviral therapy might not reduce the HBV reactivation of low-risk solid malignancies (non-HCC, non-hematological lymphatic cancer, and HBV DNA titer <100 IU/ml). For low-risk patients, monitoring the HBV DNA titers and liver function tests in the follow-up observations might be an optimal and cost-effective strategy.

IntroductionTo explore the changes and correlation of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and homocysteine
(Hcy) in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Material and methodsA total of 110 GDM patients from September 2019
to September 2020 constituted the GDM group, and 100 pregnant women
with a normal 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) throughout the same
duration constituted the control group. General information of the patients
was collected: maternal age, BMI, gravidity, parity, and the gestational week
at the time of glucose tolerance screening. Serum levels of 25-(OH)2
-VitD3
,
hs-CRP, and Hcy were compared between the two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between 25-(OH)2
-VitD3
,
hs-CRP, Hcy, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index
(HOMA-IRI) in GDM patients.ResultsSerum 25-(OH)2
-VitD3
levels in the GDM group and control group
were 15.67 ±3.62 and 18.66 ±3.41 ng/ml, hs-CRP levels were 6.07 ±1.45 and
3.12 ±1.07 mg/l, and serum Hcy levels were 17.03 ±4.10 and 8.63 ±2.27 µmol/l.
Serum 25-(OH)2
-VitD3
levels in the GDM group were substantially lower than
those in the control group, while hs-CRP, Hcy, and HOMA-IRI in the GDM
group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05).
Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated that serum 25-(OH)2
-VitD3
levels
in the GDM group were negatively correlated with HOMA-IRI. In contrast,
hs-CRP and Hcy levels were substantially positively correlated with HOMA-IRI
(p < 0.01).ConclusionsBlood levels of 25-(OH)2
-VitD3
, hs-CRP, and Hcy levels can be
a potential indicator of GDM.

Abstract. Virioplankton are a key component of the marine biosphere in maintaining diversity of microorganisms and stabilizing ecosystems. They also contribute greatly to nutrient cycles/cycling by releasing organic matter after lysis of hosts. In this study, we constructed the first global viral oceanography database (gVOD) by collecting 10 931 viral abundance (VA) data and 727 viral production (VP) data, along with host and relevant oceanographic parameters when available. Most VA data were obtained in the North Atlantic (32 %) and North Pacific (29 %) oceans, while the southeast Pacific and Indian oceans were quite undersampled. The VA in the global ocean was 1.17(±3.31)×107 particles mL−1. The lytic and lysogenic VP in the global ocean was 9.87(±24.16)×105 and 2.53(±8.64)×105 particlesmL-1h-1, respectively. Average VA in coastal oceans was higher than that in surface open oceans (3.61(±6.30)×107 versus 0.73(±1.24)×107 particles mL−1), while average VP in coastal and surface open oceans was close. Vertically, VA, lytic VP and lysogenic VP deceased from surface to deep oceans by about 1 order of magnitude. The total number of viruses in the global ocean estimated by bin-averaging and the random forest method was 1.56×1030 and 1.49×1030 particles, leading to an estimate of global ocean viral biomass at 35.9 and 34.4 Tg C, respectively. We expect that the gVOD will be a fundamental and very useful database for laboratory, field and modeling studies in marine ecology and biogeochemistry. The full gVOD database (Xie et al., 2020) is stored in PANGAEA (https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.915758).

Abstract. Sorptivity is a parameter of primary importance in the study of unsaturated flow in soils. This integral parameter is often considered for modeling the computation of water infiltration into vertical soil profiles (1D or 3D axisymmetric geometry). Sorptivity can be directly estimated from the knowledge of the soil hydraulic functions (water retention of hydraulic conductivity), using the integral formulation of Parlange (Parlange, 1975). However, it requires the prior determination of the soil hydraulic diffusivity and its numerical integration between the initial and the final saturation degrees, which may be tricky for some instances (e.g., coarse soil with diffusivity functions quasi-infinite close to saturation). In this paper, we present a specific scaling procedure for the computation of sorptivity considering slightly positive water pressure heads at the soil surface and initial dry conditions (corresponding to most water infiltration on the field). The square sorptivity is related to the square dimensionless sorptivity (referred to as cp parameter) corresponding to a unit soil (i.e., unit values of all the scaled parameters and zero residual water content) utterly dry at the initial state and saturated at the final state. The cp parameter was computed numerically and analytically for five current models: delta functions (Green and Ampt model), Brooks and Corey, van Genuchten-Mualem, van Genuchten-Burdine, and Kosugi models as a function of the shape parameters. The values are tabulated and can be easily used to determine any dimensional sorptivity value for any case. We propose brand-new analytical expressions for some of the models and validate previous formulations for the other models. Our numerical results also showed that the relation between the cp parameters and shape parameters strongly depends on the chosen model, with either increasing or decreasing trends when moving from coarse to fine soils. These results highlight the need for carefully selecting the proper model for the description of the water retention and hydraulic conductivity functions for the rigorous estimation of sorptivity. Present results show the need to understand better the hydraulic model's mathematical properties, including the links between their parameters, and, secondly, to better relate these properties to the physical processes of water infiltration into soils.

Boisguilbert: un pré-physiocrate et un post-oresmien? Un parcours comparé d’histoire de la pensée economique française
Authors: Patriarca Giovanni 
Published: March 2021

La crise du XIVème siècle apparaît comme un tournant décisif pour la reformulation de la pensée politique, économique et sociale dans un contexte marqué par le désordre et la désorientation. Le même organon de règles économiques, en effet dérivé des commentaires et des usages devenus coutumiers, est construit de manière désarticulée et parfois contradictoire. Bien qu’il y ait quelques lignes générale dont découlent directement les applica-tions pratiques, ce regroupement de principes apparait disjoint d’un point de vue méthodologique et par conséquent difficile à répartir. La res publica souffre de cette incapacité d’organisation et d’une impasse ingérable; les interventions sont in itinere, mar-quées par la contingence et ne font pas l’objet d’une réflexion à long terme.
Selon M. Chevalier, «de la chute de l’Empire Romain jusqu’à la Révolution Francaise, il y a une sorte d’éclipse totale dans l’esprit des hommes chargés de gouverner les sociétés.»1 Le jugement sur une telle impasse serait peut-être excessive et fils de la culture du siècle des lumières mais il nous présente de manière efficace cette instabilité dangereuse qui caractérise une longue période de l’histoire européenne.
The current unsustainable boom in the Argentine economy
Authors: Ravier Adrián 
Published: March 2021

Since 2010, Paul Krugman has been suggesting that Greece, Spain, Ireland and other European countries should consider abando-ning the euro and devalue their currencies in order to solve their fiscal difficulties. In January of 2011 Krugman repeated the same prescription, but added that the Argentine default and devalua - tion of 2001-2002 should be taken as an example of what Greece and other European countries in trouble should do to escape the crisis in which they are immersed.
In Krugman’s own words:
Some economists, myself included, look at Europe’s woes and have the feeling that we’ve seen this movie before, a decade ago on another continent - specifically, in Argentina. […] Argentina didn’t simply default on its foreign debt; it also abandoned its link to the dollar, allowing the peso’s value to fall by more than two-thirds. And this devaluation worked: from 2003 onward, Ar-gentina experienced a rapid export-led economic rebound. (Krug-man, 2011a).1
The Argentinian government could not resist the temptation to use the unfortunate words of this Nobel Prize winner to con-gratulate themselves on the success of policies implemented over the last decade.
My objective is to try to clarify what happened in Argentina’s recent economic history, in order to shed light on a current and controversial topic in the field of economic policy.
Teoría de la Acción y Fundamentos de Economía

This paper sets out from Mises’s theory of action or praxeology to analyze the way in which economic needs are provided for. It explains that economic reality is manifested in personal action in any one society and culture. It is in coexistence and the sharing of values, beliefs and knowledge that the structures of means and ends constituting the raw material of economics take shape.

La théorie autrichienne des cycles: une théorie de la récurrence des erreurs collectives d’anticipation
Authors: Facchini François 
Published: March 2021

This paper offers an account of the recent development of Austrian Trade Cycle Theory. It focus on the theoretical contributions and argues that the Austrian’s explanation of Trade Cycle is a theory of collective errors of expectations and of their recurrences. Austrian economists agree to explain the errors of individuals by the nationalization of money because it leads to an excess of money supply. Nevertheless, they disagree about the cause of this excess. Two explanations have been suggested. The first one measures the excess in relation with the demand of money. The second one evaluates the excess in relation with monetary saving. They agree, on the contrary, on the reasons of the recurrence of expectation errors and their uniformity. The theory of property rights explains the recurrence of expectation errors by the socialization of risk. The expectation theory explains the collective errors by the centralisation of expectations (big player hypothesis) on the central bank decisions. Therefore, the centralization of expectations explains the instability of market process.
Keywords: cycle, expectations, property rights, central banking, free banking and error
Classification JEL: E32, E58,
Resume: Cet article présente les développements récents de la théorie autrichienne des cycles. Il se concentre sur les apports théoriques et soutient que désormais la théorie autrichienne des cycles est une théorie plurielle de la récurrence des erreurs collectives d’anticipation. Les économistes autrichiens s’accordent pour penser que la nationalisation de la monnaie est à l’origine de l’excès d’offre de monnaie qui crée une distorsion de la structure des taux d’intérêt des prêts et induit la phase de récession. Ils s’entendent aussi sur les raisons de la récurrence des erreurs d’anticipation et sur leur uniformité. La théorie des droits de propriété explique la récurrence des erreurs d’anticipation par la socialisation des risques. La théorie des anticipations explique les erreurs collectives par la centralisation des anticipations autour des décisions de la banque centrale et rend compte ainsi de l’instabilité des systèmes économiques. Les économistes autrichiens se divisent, en revanche, sur les raisons de cet excès d’offre de monnaie. Il y a ceux qui soutiennent que cet excès d’offre se mesure par rapport à l’épargne monétaire et s’explique par la pratique des réserves fractionnaires (école de la libre circulation). Il y a ceux, au contraire, qui estiment que cet excès doit être mesuré par rapport à la demande de monnaie et expliqué par l’absence de concurrence entre les monnaies (école de la banque libre).
