Fifty years of Bryology in Mexico
Authors: Delgadillo-Moya Claudio 
Published: December 2021

Background: Mexican botanists were not involved in bryophyte research fifty years ago; only four small floristic contributions were published between 1942-1958.
Questions: What has been learned in the last fifty years? How many bryophytes are there in Mexico? What are the contributions by Mexican scientists?
Studied species: Bryophyte flora.
Study site and dates: Mexico, between 1942-2021.
Methods: Bibliographic compilations were used to revise the status of bryophyte research in Mexico. Data for the last fifty years cited there and in an updated version of Latmoss served to determine the current knowledge of Mexican bryophytes as contributed by Mexican scientists. No thesis research was considered unless published in a scientific journal.
Results: There are 16 species of Anthocerotophyta, ca. 600 of Marchantiophyta, and 997 Bryophyta in Mexico. At least seven phytogeographic elements are represented: Northern, Meso-American, Caribbean, Southern, Wide distribution, and Endemic. Highlights of Mexican research include the discovery of Hypnodontopsis sp., a Miocene amber fossil from Chiapas, identification of heavy metals deposits in urban mosses in Mexico City and Toluca, determination of chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of Pseudocrossidium replicatum , and the potential use of recombinant proteins from Physcomitrella patens .
Conclusions: Taxonomic and floristic studies should be continued along with the bryological exploration of the country. Conservation is urgent, but studies of drought tolerance, air pollution, climate change, and potential uses in medicine require support and collaboration from other scientists.

Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR-amyloidosis) is a systemic progressive fatal disease, for which a modifying therapy has recently been proposed that delays the progression of the disease and improves the patient’s quality of life. The delay in the diagnosis of ATTR-amyloidosis is associated with the heterogeneity of the manifestations of the disease, as well as insufficient awareness of doctors of different specialties about the disease. A review of recent studies on the symptomatology, diagnosis, molecular genetic characteristics of ATTR-amyloidosis and the most common forms of the disease with the predominant involvement of peripheral nerves and the heart, as well as the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and eyes is presented. The international consensus recommendations for the diagnosis of suspected ATTR-amyloidosis using modern methods that facilitate early and accurate diagnosis are discussed. The reasons and the most frequent misdiagnoses of ATTR-amyloidosis, which also lead to a delay in the timely appointment of therapy, are considered. Molecular genetic testing should be considered early in the evaluation of a patient with unexplained peripheral neuropathy and cardiomyopathy. A diagnostic algorithm based on the initial symptoms and manifestations of the cardiovascular and nervous systems facilitates the identification of a patient with clinical suspicion of ATTR-amyloidosis by the general practitioner. Early diagnosis is critically important for patients with ATTR polyneuropathy, since the early prescription of Vindakel (tafamidis), registered in the Russian Federation in 2017, allows a significant clinical effect to be obtained. Timely administration of Vindakel significantly slows down the progression of the disease, improves the prognosis and quali ty of life in patients with ATTR polyneuropathy.

Authors: Dadali E. L. , Markova T. V. , Ryzhkova O. P. 
Published: December 2021

Aymé–Gripp syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome caused by mutations in the MAF gene and is characterized by a pronounced phenotypic polymorphism. The core of clinical signs consists of congenital cataracts, sensorineural hearing loss, specific dysmorphic facial features and intellectual disabilities. With varying frequency, patients have: radioulnar synostosis, Arnold–Chiari malformation, aseptic pericarditis, dental anomaly and osteoarthritis. The article presents the clinical and genetic characteristics of the first Russian patient with Aymé–Gripp syndrome caused by a newly identified mutation s.173C>A (p.Thr58Asn NM_005360.4) in a heterozygous state in the MAF gene. The influence of the lo calization and type of amino acid substitutions in the protein product of the gene on the severity and specificity of the clinical manifestations of the syndrome is discussed.
Historia y anacronía: El «Diario de noticias sobresalientes de Lima» (1700-1711) y la muerte de un rey
Authors: López Parada Esperanza 
Published: December 2021

El Diario de noticias sobresalientes en Lima y noticias de Europa, primera de las publicaciones periódicas peruanas que se conoce, se abre con la conflictiva muerte del rey Carlos II o, más bien, con los avatares de la llegada de su noticia; porque, de hecho, esta llega a Nueva España casi cuatro meses después de producirse la defunción y acompañada de la nueva de la jura de su sucesor, lo que asegura la continuidad de cara a las colonias, mientras en Europa los países implicados se hundían en una larga guerra sucesoria. Pero en Perú la noticia, mucho más tardía puesto que se confirma en mayo, se acompaña en cambio de una carta de enero del nuevo monarca, avisando de ataques holandeses e ingleses a las Indias, carta de aviso muy anterior al conocimiento de su proclamación, lo que solo añade más incertidumbre y una especie de caos cronológico con la que se las tendrá que haber el discurso. La historia debe siempre ser reescrita porque ella misma cambia, según Kosseleck, pero ¿qué tanto de cambio obedece a la propia redacción?, ¿cuánto de modificación introduce el hecho de enterarse tarde? A partir de esa condición demorada de la noticia americana, el presente artículo se propone estudiar los desarreglos temporales, las relegaciones y desórdenes de sentido en el texto periférico virreinal y en la recepción en concreto de la noticia de la muerte del rey, así como los mecanismos narrativos con que el Diario de noticias sobresalientes pretende solventarlos o, más humildemente, sobrellevarlos.
Why Differential Data Work
Authors: Menke William , Creel Roger 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT
This article explains the features of differential data that make them attractive, their shortcomings, and the situations for which they are best suited. The use of differential data is ubiquitous in the seismological community, in which they are used to determine earthquake locations via the double-difference method and the Earth’s velocity structure via geotomography; furthermore, they have important applications in other areas of geophysics, as well. A common assumption is that differential data are uncorrelated and have uniform variance. We show that this assumption is well justified when the original, undifferenced data covary with each other according to a two-sided exponential function. It is not well justified when they covary according to a Gaussian function. Differences of exponentially correlated data are approximately uncorrelated with uniform variance when they are regularly spaced in distance. However, when they are irregularly spaced, they are uncorrelated with a nonuniform variance that scales with the spacing of the data. When differential data are computed by taking differences of the original, undifferenced data, model parameters estimated using ordinary least squares applied to the differential data are almost exactly equal to those estimated using weighed least squares applied to the original, undifferenced data (with the weights given by the inverse covariance matrix). A better solution only results when the differential data are directly estimated and their variance is smaller than is implied by differencing the original data. Differential data may be appropriate for global seismic travel-time data because the covariance of errors in predicted travel times may have a covariance close to a two-sided exponential, on account of the upper mantle being close to a Von Karman medium with exponent κ≪12.
The Role of the Court of Justice in Creating Standards for the Implementation of Cultural Rights
Authors: Kosińska Anna 
Published: December 2021

The present study seeks to answer the question whether the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union in cases concerning the exercise of broadly understood cultural policies may in reality affect the extent of implementation of cultural rights—that is, access to products of culture, participation in cultural life and freedom of artistic creativity—at the level of Member States. Cultural rights are traditionally regulated by the constitutions of EU Member States and are classified by legal scholars and commentators as second generation rights. Culture, in turn, according to primary legislation of the European Union, is only a supporting competence (Article 6 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union). However, a review of the Court’s case law demonstrates that CJEU’s judgments form standards that contribute to a more effective implementation of cultural rights guaranteed in the national law of the Member States and international agreements to which they are parties. This results from the nature of the Union’s law, which penetrates a national system and thanks to the principle of direct effect and supremacy truly affects the situation of EU citizens.
Frameworks of evaluation of the influence of prices’ dynamics on financial sustainability of enterprises in a supply chain
Authors: Gorlova O. Р. 
Published: December 2021

The article addresses the study of the relationship between the dynamics of product prices and the financial stability of the focal enterprises within a supply chain. Accelerating the changes of the external environment leads to an increasing need of new management instruments to save and develop an enterprise. Ensuring financial sustainability is an important task for each enterprise, particularly in the context of the parameters’ variability of the multidimensional environment. Financial sustainability directly depends on the profit and profitability of an enterprise, which gives grounds for finding the relationship between the financial sustainability indicators of an enterprise and inputs and outputs prices, as factors affecting profit.
This study focuses on supply chains for the production and sale of sunflower oil. This type of economic activity is constantly in the spotlight of domestic scientists, as Ukraine's share in world production of sunflower oil is about 34%, and in world exports - more than 55%. An enlarged approach to the structure of the supply chain is used in this study. The following links in the domestic market of Ukraine were identified: producer of agricultural products (sunflower seeds), sunflower oil manufacturer, and final consumer.
The analysis carried out in the study demonstrates that some parameters of the enterprise’s financial sustainability show the different types of response to the prices’ change that have been witnessed within the supply chain. That is a reason of the desirability of the further researches on the influence of prices’ dynamics on financial sustainability of focal enterprises in a supply chain. Besides, the further study of this theme will contribute to improving the methodology of complex measurement of the enterprise’s financial sustainability.

The case studies were monitored with respect to energy use for lighting, visual performance, non-visual performance, and users’ satisfaction. The monitoring is largely based on field measurements, but it is also complemented with simulations and calculations where needed.
Culturas de prototipado y prototipado de caretas durante la pandemia: comunicación y economización de la participación cívica en México
Authors: Uribe del Águila Verónica 
Published: December 2021

El presente texto analiza cómo makers en México usaron prototipos en la implementación y manejo de redes de suministro para la fabricación de caretas para personal de primera línea durante los primeros meses de la pandemia. En conversación con teorías de la información y los estudios feministas de ciencia y tecnología, el texto sostiene que dichos prototipos tuvieron tres funciones comunicativas: (1) organizar el trabajo en un contexto de distancia social (Suchman et al., 2002; Valentine, 2013); (2) gestionar la incertidumbre con respecto a la información de salud contradictoria (Corsín Jiménez, 2014; Lindtner, 2020); y (3) articular procesos de innovación y producción de valor de mercado (Beckert, 2016; Eisenhardt, 1989). Esta triple función comunicativa de los prototipos hizo posible la articulación de prácticas cívicas y lógicas neoliberales, lo que llamo, siguiendo a otros autores, la economización de la participación cívica (Lindtner, 2020; Murphy, 2017).
Can dog appeasing pheromone ameliorate stress behaviours associated with anxiety in mature domestic dogs?
Authors: Wong Chun Fung , Govendir Merran 
Published: December 2021

PICO question
Does use of dog-appeasing pheromone reduce the frequency and/or severity of non-specific stress behaviours associated with anxiety in domestic dogs, older than 6 months, when compared with no treatment?

Clinical bottom line
Category of research question
Treatment
The number and type of study designs reviewed
Eight controlled trials were appraised. Four were randomised and four were either non-randomised or did not clearly describe the method of allocating subjects into treatment groups.
Strength of evidence
Weak
Outcomes reported
There was no evidence that any dog appeasing pheromone (DAP) formulation (spray, diffuser, or collar) was superior. There was moderate evidence that DAP could reduce some behavioural manifestations of fear and/or anxiety stemming from thunderstorm noise and weak evidence that it could ameliorate some non-specific stress behaviours in hospitalised patients. In shelter dogs, there was mild evidence that DAP could reduce barking intensity and increase some behaviours associated with relaxation. When behavioural changes occurred, most were observed during exposure to DAP and there were minimal residual effects post-treatment.
Conclusion
The evidence for using DAP to manage stress behaviours associated with anxiety in dogs over six months of age remains weak. Until there is a stronger evidentiary basis, clinicians should be aware that a true clinical benefit is undetermined. Nevertheless, DAP is unlikely to cause harm and may still provide some therapeutic benefit. Therefore, DAP may still be employed in a multimodal management plan for some behaviour cases and may exert a placebo effect. However, if an owner’s financial resources are restrictive, clinicians should not prioritise pheromone therapy at the omission of other therapies that have established clinical effects

How to apply this evidence in practice
The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

DETERMINING THE PATTERNS OF STABILITY OF MINE WORKINGS FOR CALCULATION ROOF BOLTING PARAMETERS
Authors: Barsukov S. , Batyrkhanova А.Т. , Dyomin Vladimir 
Published: December 2021

Purpose. The published studies are aimed at determining the mechanism of deformation of the rocks of the contour around the workings in terms of the parameters of the emerging fracturing and their dependence on the indicators of the strength of the rocks and the depth of occurrence in the massif. The tasks of the study include the installation of fracture indicators, the determination of the parameters of the development of the deformation process around the working, including the effect of longwall mining and taking into account the possibility of reuse of the workings.
Methodology. To solve the set tasks, the method of field observations was used together with the use of regression dependencies to determine the dependences of the parameters on the influencing factors. In addition, the method of full-scale pull-out tests of anchor support was used, which made it possible to determine the clamping forces of the anchors.
Originality. In the course of the research, the dependences of stresses and deformation along the K7 coal seam in the conditions of the mine named after Kuzembaev CD JSC "ArcelorMittal Temirtau" for the massif around the mine with fastening. Rational parameters for the use of roof bolting in preparatory mine workings have been established. This type of fastening provides direct contact between rocks and lining. Analysis of the results of calculating the parameters of the roof bolting showed that to maintain the roof in the development workings, it is necessary to take into account the parameters of the roof bolting. The main parameters include the length of the anchors, the total resistance of the roof bolting and the density of the anchors. Anchor support forms laminated rock beams in the roof rocks, which ensure the stability of the workings.
Conclusions and practical significance. The results of studies devoted to the establishment of the influence of mining-geological and mining-technical factors on the formation of zones of inelastic deformation in the host rocks were considered. Significant dependences of the deformation processes of rocks in the massif around the workings were obtained, and the parabolic zone of destruction of rocks was determined. The practical significance of the research consists in determining the actual indicators of the required bearing capacity of the anchorage at two levels in the conditions of the development of the coal seam k7 of the Kuzembaev mine.
Measuring the Imbalance of Regional Development from Outer Space in China
Authors: Xu Shengxia , Liu Qiang , Lu Xiaoli 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
We develop a statistical framework to use the data of night-time-lights (DN) from satellite to augment official GDP measures, and a non-linear substitution relationship between DN and GDP is given. In this paper, we take advantage of DN instead of GDP to measure the imbalance of regional development (IRD) in China by using the method of bi-dimensional decomposition under the population-weighted coefficient of variation. The method enables us to analyze the contributions of DN components to within-region and between-regions inequality under the framework which has been proposed, we can get the conclusion that the imbalance between-regions rather than within-region is the main reason for the influence of IRD for the whole country in China.
Statistical Inference for a Simple Step Stress Model with Competing Risks Based on Generalized Type-I Hybrid Censoring
Authors: Mao Song , Liu Bin , Shi Yimin 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
This paper investigates a simple step-stress accelerated lifetime test (SSALT) model for the inferential analysis of exponential competing risks data. A generalized type-I hybrid censoring scheme is employed to improve the efficiency and controllability of the test. Firstly, the MLEs for parameters are established based on the cumulative exposure model (CEM). Then the conditional moment generating function (MGF) for unknown parameters is set up using conditional expectation and multiple integral techniques. Thirdly, confidence intervals (CIs) are constructed by the exact MGF-based method, the approximate normality-based method, and the bias-corrected and accelerated (BCa) percentile bootstrap method. Finally, we present simulation studies and an illustrative example to compare the performances of different methods.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Pollution cost control is key to solve pollution problem. The paper takes pollution control cost of pollution control contract between management authority and pollutant discharge enterprise as research object, considers pollution control quality level, pollution control quality inspection and pollution control cost model, and establishes pollution control cost model of management authority and pollutant discharge enterprise, including rational constraints of pollutant discharge enterprise. And it analyzes principal-agent relationship between the two under condition of asymmetric information, and un-observability of pollution control level is shown as hiding information of sewage enterprises. In essence, it is problem of adverse selection in principal-agent. Pollution control cost of management is objective function. The first order condition of pollution control cost of sewage enterprise is transformed into state space equation, and optimal control of problem is solved by using maximum principle. In particular, management authority, as principal, uses pollution control provisions to reward, punish and encourage pollutant discharge enterprises as agents.
