Authors: Adams Jacob S. , Kaufmann Marianne , Honda Riku , Smith Lucas , Seideman David 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
In a study on the prevention of injury in patients with H63D syndrome and cataplexy, statistical analysis revealed an unexpected but clinically highly significant finding. Apparently, in this patient population, an inverse correlation exists between the severity of tic symptomatology on the one hand and narcolepsy with cataplexy on the other hand, as well as a parallel increase in the typical signs of degeneration observed in transcranial sonography of the substantia nigra. This finding has clinically far-reaching implications.
Study of the suitable value of dead-time between control signals of transistors for a series-resonant inverter with phase-shift control in induction heating systems
Authors: Herasymenko Pavlo 
Published: May 2021

Induction heating provides contactless, energy-efficient, accurate, and fast heating of electrically conductive materials. Due to its advantages, IH is increasingly used in different fields such as industry, medicine, and the household sector. High-frequency transistor converters for the induction heating system are often based on series-resonant inverters. This paper analyzes a phase-shift-controlled voltage-source series-resonant inverter for induction heating systems. Mathematical analysis was performed in order to obtain the expressions that describe the output current of the phase-shift-controlled series-resonant inverter in the steady-state mode. Based on the analysis and the obtained expressions of the output current, analytical expressions of the dead-time between the transistors’ control signals of the SRI are obtained. The analytical expressions for determining the value of the dead-time are obtained for two cases:
1) zero value of the phase-shift;
2) the phase shift is greater than zero.
To verify the obtained analytical expressions of the output current, validation was performed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment by comparing the peak current values.
The verification showed the high accuracy of the obtained expressions, the deviation between the calculated and simulated values of the peak current is less than 0.1 %. The made simplifications of the dead-time expressions also were verified by calculation, the deviation between the calculated values of the drain-to-source voltage at the end of the commutation and the expected value is no more than 3.6 %. The SRI prototype has been designed and implemented in order to validate the analytical and simulation results
Comparison of a novel dominance-based differential evolution method with the state-of-the-art methods for solving multi-objective real-valued optimization problems
Authors: Tuncay Mustafa , Haydar Ali 
Published: May 2021

Differential Evolution algorithm (DE) is a well-known nature-inspired method in evolutionary computations scope. This paper adds some new features to DE algorithm and proposes a novel method focusing on ranking technique. The proposed method is named as Dominance-Based Differential Evolution, called DBDE from this point on, which is the improved version of the standard DE algorithm. The suggested DBDE applies some changes on the selection operator of the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm and modifies the crossover and initialization phases to improve the performance of DE. The dominance ranks are used in the selection phase of DBDE to be capable of selecting higher quality solutions. A dominance-rank for solution X is the number of solutions dominating X. Moreover, some vectors called target vectors are used through the selection process. Effectiveness and performance of the proposed DBDE method is experimentally evaluated using six well-known benchmarks, provided by CEC2009, plus two additional test problems namely Kursawe and Fonseca & Fleming. The evaluation process emphasizes on specific bi-objective real-valued optimization problems reported in literature.
Likewise, the Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) metric is calculated for the obtained results to measure the performance of algorithms. To follow up the evaluation rules obeyed by all state-of-the-art methods, the fitness evaluation function is called 300.000 times and 30 independent runs of DBDE is carried out. Analysis of the obtained results indicates that the performance of the proposed algorithm (DBDE) in terms of convergence and robustness outperforms the majority of state-of-the-art methods reported in the literature

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is not restricted to clinics but also spreading fast in the aquatic environment. This study focused on the prevalence and diversity of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes among bacteria from lentic and effluent water in Delhi-NCR, India. Phenotypic screening of 436 morphologically distinct bacterial isolates collected from diverse sites revealed that 106 (∼24%) isolates were ESBL positive. Antibiotic profiling showed that 42, 60, 78 and 59% ESBL producing isolates collected from Ghazipur slaughterhouse, Lodhi garden pond, Hauz Khas lake and Jasola wastewater treatment plant, respectively, were multidrug-resistant (MDR). The multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index varied from 0.20 to 0.32 among selected locations. The prevalence of ESBL gene variants blaSHV, blaTEM and blaCTX-M were found to be 17.64, 35.29 and 64%, respectively. Furthermore, the analysis of obtained gene sequences showed three variants of blaCTX-M (15, 152 and 205) and two variants of blaTEM (TEM-1 and TEM-116) among ESBL producers. The co-existence of 2–3 gene variants was recorded among 48% ESBL positive isolates. New reports from this study include the blaCTX-M gene in Acinetobacter lwoffii, Enterobacter ludwigii, Exiguobacterium mexicanum and Aeromonas caviae. Furthermore, the identification of blaTEM and blaSHV in an environmental isolate of A. caviae is a new report from India.

Published: May 2021

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the environmental factors that can cause prostate cancer. Cadmium can induces metallothionein (MT) in several tissues that functions to carry out an intracellular detoxification procession by binding to Cd. Exposure of Cd can cause an increase in reactive oxygen species which will cause lipid peroxidation with the end product being malondialdehyde (MDA). The research aims to determine the correlation between MT, MDA and prostate specific antigen (PSA) among auto body repair workers. The study used a cross sectional design involving 32 auto body repair workers and their ages ranged from 18 to 66 years. Measurement of MT, MDA and PSA using the ELISA method. We performed a multiple regression analysis to evaluate the relationships between MT, MDA with PSA for age and other covariates. The mean age of subjects was 38.88 ± 12.82 years. The mean levels of MT was 2.84 ± 1.18 ng/dL, MDA was 8.22 ± 20.06 ng / dL and PSA was 0.86 ± 1.79 ng / dL. The study found that MT (β = 0,232; 95% C.I. 0,202 – 0,503; p= <0,001) and MDA (β = 0.827; 95% CI. 0.065 – 0,083; p=<0,001) significantly predicted PSA. MDA (β = 0.827) has stronger relationship with PSA compared to MT (β =0.232). This results confirmed the role of MT and MDA on PSA synthesis. Metallothionein induce the process of lipid peroxidation with the end product being malondialdehyde (MDA) and increase PSA.

Characteristics and Implications of Long-Term Earnings Guidance
Authors: Call Andrew C. , Esplin Adam M. , Miao Bin 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT
We examine a form of voluntary disclosure that has received limited attention to date, namely, managers' long-term guidance for earnings three to five years in advance. We identify 1,739 long-term earnings forecasts issued by 295 unique firms from 2000 to 2012 and find that relative to firms that issue only short-term earnings guidance, those that also issue long-term guidance are larger, have more certain operating environments, and are followed by analysts who are more likely to issue long-term growth forecasts. Long-term guidance is informative to investors and analysts incorporate the news contained in these forecasts into their own long-term growth forecasts. We also document that the issuance of long-term guidance is associated with more (less) investor focus on long-term (short-term) earnings news. Last, we find mixed evidence on the association between long-term guidance and real earnings management decisions. Our study adds to the literature on managers' voluntary disclosure choices.

Do Quarterly and Annual Financial Statements Reflect Similar Financial Statement Error in the Post-SOX Era?
Authors: Boyle Erik S. , Lewis-Western Melissa F. , Seidel Timothy A. 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT
The U.S. has invested substantial resources into the regulation and oversight of public-company financial reporting. While these investments should incentivize high-quality reporting among quarterly and annual financial statements, the sharp rise in public company auditor oversight may disproportionately benefit annual reports given the fiscal year-centric nature of audits. We compare the within company-year difference in financial statement error between quarterly and annual financial reports and examine how any difference changed following SOX. We find that pre-SOX error is lower for audited financial statements than for reviewed financial statements and that this difference increases following SOX. Additional tests suggest that elevated auditor oversight, rather than managerial incentives, is the impetus for the change. Despite regulatory investment designed to incentivize the production of high-quality quarterly and annual financial statements, the post-SOX difference in error between quarterly and annual financial statements appears to have increased.

ABSTRACT

The research objective is to examine the practice of income smoothing with several explanatory variables, namely: cash holding, political cost, profitability, and the board of commissioners. Income smoothing is an effort to normalize profits with the hope of increasing the company's market return. There are indications that agricultural sector companies are doing income smoothing. The population in this study were all agricultural sector companies listed on the IDX for the 2014-2019 period, with a purposive sampling technique, the number of samples used was 16 agricultural sector companies. Furthermore, the number of observed data was 96 data (6 years of observation in 16 agricultural sector companies). Methods of data analysis using logistic regression with α = 5% and α = 10%. The results showed that cash holding and profitability had no significant effect on income smoothing practices, both at α = 5% and α = 10%, but the political cost had a significant positive effect and the board of commissioners had a significant negative effect on income smoothing practices in agricultural sector companies. The implication of income smoothing practice with several explanatory variables can maintain the stability of the company's financial performance and will become an attraction for interested parties, however, income smoothing practise must go through supervision and consider some of the advice given by the board of commissioners.

The St. Louis Crisis in the Canadian Press: New Data on the June 1939 Incident
Authors: Anctil Pierre , Comeau Alexandre 
Published: May 2021

Starting in late May 1939, a humanitarian crisis developed when some 900 German Jews were denied the use of prearranged Cuban temporary immigration permits in the port of Havana after having arrived on board of the MS St. Louis, a luxury German liner. The event soon attracted much media attention because of its dramatic character and negotiations immediately began to find a safe haven for the stranded passengers elsewhere on the Atlantic seacoast. Eventually, after a few days, all efforts in this respect failed and the captain of the MS St. Louis, Gustav Schröder, was forced to contemplate bringing his human cargo back to Western Europe where four countries allowed the passengers to disembark. This article discusses the involvement of the Canadian government and media in this crisis, and the role that the Mackenzie-King cabinet played in denying the German Jewish refugees any hope of being welcomed in the country. Of particular interest here is the fact that the Canadian public was not well informed of the fate of the St. Louis passengers, in either official language, and that largely for this reason no serious pressure was put on the government to bring a different resolution of the crisis.
À la fin du mois de mai 1939, une crise humanitaire est apparue quand quelque 900 Juifs allemands, arrivés à bord du paquebot le Saint-Louis, n’ont pu bénéficier dans le port de La Havane de permis d’immigration temporaires cubains déjà émis. L’événement n’a pas tardé à attirer beaucoup d’attention de la part des médias par son côté dramatique et des négociations ont immédiatement été lancées afin de trouver sur la côte atlantique un autre port d’accueil pour les réfugiés apatrides. Après quelques jours, le capitaine du navire, Gustav Schröder a toutefois dû se résoudre à regagner l’Europe de l’Ouest, où quatre pays ont accepté de prendre en charge les passagers. Cet article s’intéresse au rôle joué par le gouvernement et par les médias canadiens dans cette crise, et en particulier au fait qu’aucun geste concret n’ait été fait pour accueillir les réfugiés juifs au pays. L’auteur porte une attention spéciale au fait que le sort des passagers du Saint-Louis n’ait pas fait l’objet de reportages dans les journaux canadiens, dans aucune des langues officielles, et que pour cette raison le cabinet de Mackenzie-King a senti peu de pression de la part des citoyens canadiens pour trouver une résolution différente à la crise.
