Estimating the effect of central bank independence on inflation using longitudinal targeted maximum likelihood estimation
Authors: Baumann Philipp F. M. , Schomaker Michael , Rossi Enzo 
Published: June 2021

AbstractThe notion that an independent central bank reduces a country’s inflation is a controversial hypothesis. To date, it has not been possible to satisfactorily answer this question because the complex macroeconomic structure that gives rise to the data has not been adequately incorporated into statistical analyses. We develop a causal model that summarizes the economic process of inflation. Based on this causal model and recent data, we discuss and identify the assumptions under which the effect of central bank independence on inflation can be identified and estimated. Given these and alternative assumptions, we estimate this effect using modern doubly robust effect estimators, i.e., longitudinal targeted maximum likelihood estimators. The estimation procedure incorporates machine learning algorithms and is tailored to address the challenges associated with complex longitudinal macroeconomic data. We do not find strong support for the hypothesis that having an independent central bank for a long period of time necessarily lowers inflation. Simulation studies evaluate the sensitivity of the proposed methods in complex settings when certain assumptions are violated and highlight the importance of working with appropriate learning algorithms for estimation.

Abstract
A methodology for analyzing accidents with radioactive material release with EPZDose code was established. This code assesses doses and it is designed and developed by NTHU (National Tsing Hua University). To confirm the capacity of EPZDose, three postulated accident scenarios Taiwanese NPPs Chinshan (BWR/4) and Maanshan (PWR) are analyzed. All these scenarios are SBO (station blackout) transients because it is assumed that they result in a release of radioactive material. In this study, the source term data for EPZDose are taken from MELCOR or RASCAL calculations. In addition, calculated results of RASCAL code are compared with the results of EPZDose for these scenarios. The comparison show that the EPZDose predictions are consistent with the data of RASCAL. This indicates that the EPZDose has a respectable accuracy in the analysis of radioactive material release accidents.
Temporal relations of free indirect discourse events
Authors: Egetenmeyer Jakob 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
In this article, we investigate the role free indirect discourse (FID) plays in temporal discourse structure. In contrast to the most widely accepted account of FID, which compares the content of FID to the surrounding content (two voices or two contexts), we take FID as a discourse entity and, thus, focus on the FID event. We follow a prominence-based approach to temporal discourse structure, through which we are able to describe the temporal relations the FID event maintains to the preceding and the following discourse in a precise manner. We can also account for the temporal developments that may be brought about by FID events. This becomes especially interesting in longer passages where FID events alternate with non-FID parts of discourse. The interaction involves the three levels which together make up our account of temporal discourse structure.
Aproximación al diseño incorruptible desde el caso de interventorías en espacios interiores
Authors: Puentes Lagos David Ernesto , Galán Zambrano César Augusto 
Published: June 2021

Partiendo de una experiencia de más de 20 años en interventoría, el propósito de esta investigación es contribuir para construir una noción de diseño incorruptible que ayude con la lucha contra un fenómeno profundamente arraigado en la sociedad colombiana.
Metodológicamente y para sistematizar las experiencias, se documentaron, de forma rigurosa, los últimos cuatro años de contratos de interventoría donde se adecuaron espacios interiores: los autores reflexionaron sobre el papel que juegan las interventorías y cómo la formación de los diseñadores en nuestro país, más que en otros lugares del planeta, deben hacia el futuro involucrar explícitamente el tema y la lucha contra la corrupción. En cuatro fases instrumentalizadas, cada una de forma independiente, se llega a nueve principios que buscan aproximar a los diseñadores y al diseño a la noción del diseño incorruptible.
Como resultado, destacamos dos principios: el principio de transparencia en las decisiones de diseño tomadas en entidades del Estado porque ayuda a dejar registro de las acciones de los diseñadores involucrados en el diseño y desarrollo de tecnologías públicas, también a revelar las intenciones reales de los actores. El segundo, es el principio de la honradez al momento de diseñar y construir una tecnología pública que ayudaría, por ejemplo, a calcular de forma más asertiva el ciclo de vida de las futuras tecnologías en el Estado exigiendo un proceso de diseño que revele quiénes y por qué toman las decisiones que afectan el corto y largo plazo de su sostenibilidad.

Authors: Negro Marcela Andrea 
Published: June 2021

La enseñanza de la escritura audiovisual requiere de un trabajo metodológico y sistematizado que no afecte a las aptitudes creativas de los estudiantes, por el contrario, el objetivo es desarrollarlas y potenciarlas. Los estudiantes de Diseño de Imagen y Sonido de la FADU-UBA (Argentina) asisten en su formación de pregrado a dos niveles de escrituras introductorios (obligatorios) y dos avanzados (optativos), en los que el estudio y la práctica de los contenidos se profundizan y complejizan, con el objetivo de adquirir un acabado conocimiento de esta disciplina y su especificidad.
El presente trabajo da cuenta de una investigación de cátedra en curso sobre las características formales del género biográfico y una propuesta de organización, o pautado del trabajo, que colabore con la escritura de proyectos audiovisuales que aborden este género narrativo.
En el texto se brinda una caracterización general del género, los desafíos y oportunidades que ofrece para el guionista, también se incluye un muy breve relevamiento histórico y, por último, un articulado en diez pasos para iniciar la organización de un proyecto audiovisual que pretenda abordar el relato biográfico.

Published: June 2021

Reducing row space and sowing in twin rows of maize (Zea mays L.) allow more equidistant plant distribution at the same density. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of these two management practices on the nitrogen content of the index leaf, the leaf area index at silking, and the grain yield of maize at different plant densities. The experiment was carried out in Lages, Santa Catarina State University, in southern Brazil during the growing seasons 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. A split-plot arrangement of a randomized complete block design was used. Two plant densities (7 and 9 plants m-2) were distributed in the main plot, and five row spaces (0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 m and twin rows 0.6 m apart with 0.18 m between rows) were evaluated in split-plots. Physiological traits and grain yield were determined on the maize hybrid P30R50YH. The experiments were sown on 10/20/2016 and 10/21/2017. Kernel yields were higher at the plant density of 9 plants m-2 than at 7 plants m-2. The row space did not affect the nitrogen content of the index leaf, the crop leaf area index at silking, and the maize grain yield. The increment of plant density was more effective than the use of narrow and twin rows to enhance P30R50YH hybrid grain yield.

This study was done at the Centre for Yoga Therapy, Education and Research (CYTER) of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth (SBV) to determine cardiovascular (CV) parameters in patients with psoriasis.Data of 20 patients (12 female, 8 male) with a mean age of 44.40 ± 15.2ywho were referred by Dept. of Dermatology and attended yoga therapy sessions at CYTER was used for analysis. Supervised yoga training was given to the participants who were randomized into the yoga group. Heart rate (HR), systolic and diastolic pressure (SP and DP) was recorded using non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) apparatus before and after the study period of 12 weeks. CV indices such as Pulse pressure (PP), mean pressure (MP), rate-pressure product (RPP), and double product (DoP) were derived using appropriate formulae.The inter-group comparison showed significant change (p&#60;0.05) in SP. The derived CV indices such as PP, RPP & DoP also showed significant changes. (p&#60;0.05) after 12 weeks of Yoga training. The intragroup comparison in the control group showed a significant increase in SP and DP (p&#60;0.05). There is a healthy reduction in SP and derived CV indices following 12 weeks of yoga training. The magnitude of this reduction depends on the pre-existing medical condition and intensity of the disease in each individual. These changes may be attributed to enhanced harmony of cardiac autonomic function as a result of coordinated breath-body work and mind-body relaxation due to yoga resulting in a significant reduction in the perceived stress.
The Sacred in the Symbols of Ukrainian Painting at the Turn of the 21st Century
Authors: Baltaziuk Iryna 
Published: June 2021

Contemporary art as a measure of social consciousness becomes a reference point for finding the boundary between the sacred and the anti-sacred, the aspect that acting as a mirror becomes a reflection of reality, and only at first glance, it speaks of identity but is not true in its essence. Through the semantic key of the symbols of mirroring and reflecting, in the knowledge of the true picture, from divine emptiness to holy fullness, a dialogue of contemporary Ukrainian artists with Kazimir Malevich is formed. The most powerful example of this dialogue is created in the works of Ukrainian classics Oleksandr Dubovyk, Oleksandr Roitburd, and Oleksandr Klymenko. On this path, artists are helped by the heritage of the Ukrainian ethnos, which harmoniously combines the memory of Trypillia culture, national symbols, traditions of icon painting, the school of Mykhailo Boychuk and much more. This article focuses on the sacred in the symbols of contemporary Ukrainian painting that absorbs the most characteristic signs, codes, and ciphers of the previous centuries, transferring spirituality into the 21st century. The transformation of religious symbols into contemporary ones, in consequence of building a discourse with mass culture, generates them into a new cultural code. The semantics of mass culture gives the visual material that forms the sacredness of the 21st century, which exists on the border of the material and the spiritual, as a reflection of the myth. The works of art by Nina Murashkina, Andriy Tsoy, and Mykyta Tsoy are a striking example of that. The sacred in which the mystery of real life is concentrated can endow thinking with a true, rather than an imaginary essence and provide a tool for solving the problem of individuality, freedom, and existence, which the new century is filled with.

Background: Perceived organizational justice is a concept used to describe job-related justice. Considering the role of perceived organizational justice in the healthcare system to increase the satisfaction, motivation, and efficiency in providing quality services, this study was conducted to investigate the situation of perceived organizational justice in the Iranian healthcare system through systematic review.
Methods: In the present study, an electronic search was conducted on the Persian websites SID, Iranmedex, Medlib, civilica, Irandoc and English Web of science, Pubmed, Scopus, and Google scholar using the Persian and English keywords of ‘Justice, Equality, Equality, Organizational Justice, Perceived Justice, Health System, University of Medical Sciences, Health Centers, Hospitals. As a result, 520 articles were studied and evaluated step by step and 469 papers were removed after reading the title and abstract. Finally, the full text of 51 articles was reviewed. Finally, 30 articles that measured the average level of perceived organizational justice were selected and other articles were excluded due to lack of necessary criteria and irrelevance. To analyze the heterogeneity between the studies, the meta-analysis method was used using Stata 14 software and Q test and I2 index.
Results: To study the status of perceived organizational justice in the health care system in a systematic and meta-analysis, all 30 studies were illegible. With regard to the dimensions of distributive, procedural, and interactive justice, 23 studies of 30 studies had the required conditions to enter the research. The total mean score of perceived organizational justice was obtained as 60.71 and the mean scores of 54.74, 58.52, and 62.41were calculated for dimensions of distributive, procedural, and interactive justice, respectively.
Conclusion: The findings showed that the situation of perceived organizational justice in the Iranian health care system was favorable. The dimension of interactive justice, related to managers' behaviors and relationships with employees, was relatively more favorable than other dimensions of organizational justice. Moreover, the situation of perceived organizational justice and its dimensions in private hospitals was more favorable than other research environments, including public hospitals, staff units, and hospitals selected using the mixed method.

Published: June 2021

Objective: In this study, formulations containing probiotics that are sold in establishments in the State of Tabasco were identified, their composition was analyzed and compared with formulations that can be purchased online.
Materials and methods: The formulations containing probiotics sold in 21 establishments in the city of Villahermosa were identified and compared with 30 probiotic supplements sold online. Products information was registered in a database and analyzed according to their dosage form, the probiotics genera, species / subspecies that contain and their classification as probiotics or symbiotics and as drugs or supplements.
Results: 31 local products and 30 products sold online, formulated with probiotics, in 6 different dosage forms were analyzed. Only 5 of the local products and none sold online are certified by COFEPRIS as drugs. 48% of the formulations are monostrain and the rest are multistrain. 72% of the formulations are probiotics and the rest are synbiotic. In the 61 products analyzed were identified 46 species belonging to 13 different genera, 39% were common to local and online products. The Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera highlight due to their abundance of species and the number of products that contain them. The genus Bacillus was the only one that was never combined with species of other genera in the formulations.
Conclusions: The population of the state of Tabasco can find at least 31 formulations containing probiotics in local establishments. The variety increases if we consider the dietary supplements that can be purchased online. In particular, multistrain supplements. The products certified by COFEPRIS ensure that the benefits of the formulation are supported by clinical trials in humans and are manufactured following the good manufacturing practices.

Setelah dilakukan intervensi gizi, fisik pasien mulai membaik di tandai dengan sudah bisa berpindah posisi tidur sendiri, hasil laboratorium biokimia RBC, WBC, HGB, HCT, dan albumin menunjukkan penurunan dan peningkatan menuju nilai normal, asupan pasien meningkat dari hari ke hari, namun belum dapat mencapai target (<60%). Pada kasus ini pemulihan kondisi pasien cukup cepat. Fungsi saluran cerna secara bertahap membaik ditandai dengan bentuk makanan pasien yang berubah dari cair hingga bubur kasar. Sehingga intervensi yang diberikan secara keseluruhan tercapai kecuali target asupanAbstractPost-operative patients require special nutritional care to accelerate wound healing, recovery, and adequate nutritional intake. Especially in the case of post-operative patients with hemicolectomy and ileocolic resection that affect the function of the gastrointestinal tract, the nutritional care process is needed by providing a high-calorie and high-protein diet to reduce levels of white blood cells, increase levels of albumin, and to normalize the body weight. After the nutritional intervention, the physical condition began to improve, marked by being able to change his sleeping position, the results of the biochemical laboratory such as RBC, WBC, HGB, HCT, and albumin showed a decrease and increase to normal values. The patient's intake increased from day to day, but can not reach the target yet (<60%). In this case, recovery is quite fast. Gastrointestinal function gradually improves as the patient's diet changes from liquid to coarse porridge, so the overall intervention given is achieved except for the intake target.

In the studies done to date on the swarm behaviors of animals, many different observational techniques have been developed, indicating the importance of such detailed observations. The techniques of researchers aiming to capture the swarm behavior of animals, which is normally visually unobservable, have included attaching microsensors to honey bees or ants and data loggers (micro recorders) to birds or mammals. Such techniques, collectively known as “bio-logging,” can go far in clarifying why we feel animals that exhibit swarm behaviors seem to have a sort of collective intelligence, or “swarm intelligence.” Furthermore, studies on the swarm behaviors of animals may provide important clues to researchers in the field of swarm robotics. It is in this context that this special issue presents papers on bio-logging technologies, the collective behaviors of animals, and various advanced measurement technologies related to them.
This special issue consists of one review article and 14 research papers. The subjects cover a wide range of areas, including control engineering, data science, and ecology. Thus, bio-logging is an interdisciplinary area that can expect to see much growth in the near future.
The editors are confident that this issue will greatly contribute to further progress in the field of bio-logging.

Abstract
Objectives: From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, clinical practice and research, globally, have centered on the prevention of transmission and treatment of the disease. The pandemic has had a huge impact on the economy and stressed the health care systems worldwide. The present study estimates Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), Years of Potential Productive Life Lost (YPPLL), and Cost of Productivity Lost (CPL) due to premature mortality and absenteeism, secondary to COVID-19 in Kerala state, India. Setting: Details on sociodemography, incidence, death, quarantine, recovery time, etc were derived from public sources and CODD-K for Kerala. The working proportion for 5-year age-gender cohorts and corresponding life expectancy were obtained from the Census of India 2011. Primary and secondary outcome measures: The impact of disease on various age-gender cohorts have been analyzed. Sensitivity Analysis has been conducted by adjusting six variables across 21 scenarios. In addition, the estimates have been updated till June 10, 2021. Results: Severity of infection and mortality were higher among the older cohorts, with males being more susceptible than females in most sub-groups. The DALYs for males and females were 15954.5 and 8638.4 till November 15, 2020, and 83853.0 and 56628.3 till June 10, 2021. The corresponding YPPLL were 1323.57 and 612.31 till November 15, 2020, and 6993.04 and 3811.57 till June 10, 2021. CPL (premature mortality) for males and females were 263780579.94 and 41836001.82 till November 15, 2020, and 1419557903.76 and 278275495.29 till June 10, 2021. Conclusions: Most of the COVID-19 disease burden was contributed by YLL. Losses due to YPPLL were reduced as the impact of COVID-19 infection was relatively lesser among productive cohorts. CPL values for 40-49 year-olds were the highest. . These estimates provide the figures and data necessary to policymakers to work on, in order to reduce the economic burden of COVID-19 in Kerala.
