Authors: Yang Jun , Mao Yanning , Ma Yuqi , Wu Wei , Bai Yuan 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
The demand for water resources in Shaanxi Province increases greatly due to the continuous growth of its population and the rapid development of the social economy. Water demand forecasting is a significant issue in the designing, maintaining and operating of a reliable and economical water supply system. An explicit mathematical method was presented in this study, based on the indicators of industrial output value, such as the gross output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. The impact of total retail sales and year trends in the domestic or industrial water demands, can accurately forecast the water demand fluctuations for a municipality. Adopt RAGA-PP optimal selection model through a grouping method of data handling for water demand management to test for the case study Shaanxi, China. Results showed that the prediction effect of multivariate logarithmic model accuracy can reach 99.50%, and it is estimated that the demand for water resources in Shaanxi would exceed 10 billion m3 by 2030. The average relative error of the water consumption from 2015 to 2017 is 3.05% for the model of multiple linear and 0.50% for the model of multivariate logarithm model. Our framework can assist in developing sustainable solutions.
Solar photocatalytic degradation of metformin by TiO2 synthesized using Calotropis gigantea leaf extract

Published: February 2021

Abstract
A novel TiO2 nanoparticle was prepared through green synthesis using Calotropis gigantea (CG) leaf extract. Morphological analysis showed dispersed spherical CG-TiO2 nanoparticles with an average size of 42 nm. The prepared catalyst was used for the degradation of metformin (a widely used diabetic medicine) by solar photocatalysis. A three-factor central composite design (CCD) was used to explore the effect of independent variables, i.e., pH 3–7, metformin concentration 1–10 mg/L, and catalyst (CG-TiO2) dosage 0.5–2.0 g/L. A maximum metformin degradation of 96.7% was observed under optimum conditions i.e., pH = 9.7, initial metformin concentration = 9.7 mg/L and catalyst dosage = 0.7 g/L, with ∼86% mineralization efficiency. A quadratic model with an error &lt;5% was developed to predict the metformin degradation and the rate of degradation under the optimum conditions followed pseudo-first-order kinetics (k = 0.014/min). CG-TiO2 exhibited higher metformin degradation efficiency (96.7%) compared to P-25 (23.9%) at optimum conditions. The recyclability study indicated effective reuse of the catalyst for up to three cycles. The proposed metformin degradation route is hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation on the CG-TiO2 surface, transfer of •OH to the aqueous phase from CG-TiO2 and subsequent oxidation of metformin in the aqueous phase.
Linearly implicit energy-preserving Fourier pseudospectral schemes for the complex modified Korteweg-de Vries equation
Authors: Yan J. L. , Zheng L. H. , Zhu L. , Lu F. Q. 
Published: February 2021

We propose two linearly implicit energy-preserving schemes for the complex modified Korteweg–de Vries equation, based on the invariant energy quadratization method. First, a new variable is introduced and a new Hamiltonian system is constructed for this equation. Then the Fourier pseudospectral method is used for the space discretization and the Crank–Nicolson leap-frog schemes for the time discretization. The proposed schemes are linearly implicit, which is only needed to solve a linear system at each time step. The fully discrete schemes can be shown to conserve both mass and energy in the discrete setting. Some numerical examples are also presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.

An optimal linear filter for estimation of random functions in Hilbert space
Authors: Howlett Phil George , Torokhti Anatoli 
Published: February 2021

Let \(\boldsymbol{f}\) be a square-integrable, zero-mean, random vector with observable realizations in a Hilbert space \(H\), and let \(\boldsymbol{g}\) be an associated square-integrable, zero-mean, random vector with realizations which are not observable in a Hilbert space \(K\). We seek an optimal filter in the form of a closed linear operator \(X\) acting on the observable realizations of a proximate vector \(\boldsymbol{f}_{\epsilon} \approx \boldsymbol{f}\) that provides the best estimate \(\widehat{\boldsymbol{g}}_{\epsilon} = X\! \boldsymbol{f}_{\epsilon}\) of the vector \(\boldsymbol{g}\). We assume the required covariance operators are known. The results are illustrated with a typical example.

Real Effects of Financial Reporting on Innovation: Evidence from Tax Law and Accounting Standards
Authors: Williams Braden , Williams Brian M 
Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT
This study examines whether financial accounting standards moderate the effectiveness of tax policy. Specifically, we examine whether myopic managers' focus on short-term financial reporting reduces the effectiveness of tax subsidies that incentivize innovation. We employ a novel setting, the issuance of Financial Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), which changed the financial reporting for some important, yet uncertain, tax incentives to innovate. For firms most affected by the standard change, we find evidence of reduced investment in innovation, reduced sensitivity of investment to tax incentives, and reduced future innovative output. Consistent with earnings myopia, we find the effect is more pronounced in firms with higher levels of transient institutional ownership and newly vesting equity compensation. These results indicate financial reporting myopia has real effects on innovation and can reduce tax policy effectiveness. The results further suggest that tax policymakers should consider both financial reporting and cash flow incentives in designing policy.
Dante LIANO QUEZADA, «En cinquante-quatre»
Authors: Florido Miguel Isabel 
Published: February 2021

Dante José Liano Quezada (Chimaltenango, Guatemala, 1948) es escritor, ensayista y crítico literario. En el año 1973 se licenció en Letras por la Universidad de San Carlos (Guatemala), y ya en 1974 ganó el Primer Premio en la sección Novela con Casa en Avenida. En 1977 se doctoró en Literatura en la Universidad de Florencia. Permaneció en Italia desde 1980 debido a la convulsa situación política de Guatemala. Liano Quezada fue profesor de Lengua Española en la Universidad de Bolonia, de Lengua y Literatura Española en las Universidades de Feltre y Brescia, y de Literatura Hispanoamericana en la Universidad de Milán, ciudad en la que reside actualmente, y donde es catedrático de Literatura Española y Literatura Hispanoamericana en la Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.
El autor del cuento «El cincuenta y cuatro» (Liano Quezada, 2014: pp. 11-21) fue también Premio Nacional de Literatura Miguel Ángel Asturias en 1991 y fue finalista del Premio Herralde de Novela en 1987 y 2002.
Por lo general, sus novelas suelen desarrollarse en su tierra natal y utiliza con frecuencia un lenguaje coloquial, acompañado de expresiones autóctonas. Entre sus principales obras literarias se encuentran: Jornadas y otros cuentos (1978), La vida insensata (1987), El lugar de su quietud (1989), El misterio de San Andrés (1994), o Pequeña historia de viajes, amores e italianos (2008).
El cincuenta y cuatro cuenta, a través de la perspectiva del hijo, la historia de una familia que, tras el golpe de Estado de Castillo Armas en Guatemala, en el año 1954, se ve obligada a mudarse a la capital del país. A lo largo del cuento, el niño narra el transcurso de su vida en Chimaltenango, donde sus padres ocupan buenos puestos de trabajo. En el cuento se pone de manifiesto la ideología política de los padres, claramente revolucionarios, y que apoyan con vehemencia el Gobierno de Arévalo. Una vez en la capital, se narra cómo sus padres recuerdan con nostalgia aquella época, al tiempo que se pone de relieve la incomprensión del narrador de la historia, que ni siquiera recuerda si era feliz en Chimaltenango.
Este cuento forma parte de Cuentos Guatemaltecos, una recopilación de relatos alrededor de temas recurrentes en la literatura guatemalteca como son el exilio, la violencia o el indigenismo.
Simon ARMITAGE, «Esto es uno que…»
Authors: Jordán Enamorado Miguel Ángel , Villalba Pérez Paula 
Published: February 2021

Simon Armitage es un reconocido poeta, novelista y dramaturgo inglés, nacido en Marsden (West Yorkshire) en 1963. Tras estudiar la carrera de Geografía, realizó sus estudios de posgrado en la Universidad de Mánchester, que culminaron con su tesis de máster sobre los efectos de la violencia televisiva en los delincuentes jóvenes. Hasta 1994 trabajó como agente de libertad condicional en Mánchester. Actualmente enseña poesía en la Universidad de Oxford.
Para algunos, Armitage es la cara moderna, accesible e insoportable de la poesía, ya que su estilo combina los juegos de palabras, la jerga, la inmediatez y el ingenio sarcástico. Estas características son fácilmente reconocibles en su prolífica y variada producción literaria, que cuenta con títulos rápidos y enérgicos como «Zoom!» o «Kid», obras que reflejan el universo escolar y ponen de manifiesto lo que parece haberse convertido en uno de los objetivos principales de Armitage, acercar la poesía al gran público, evitando que se convierta en un producto minoritario o exclusivamente académico.
Por esta razón, la poesía de Armitage aborda temas cotidianos y universales. Por ejemplo, los poemas recogidos en the Dead Sea Poems (2001) versan sobre diversos aspectos del ser humano, tales como las creencias, la confianza, la identidad y el autoconocimiento. Algunos de los textos que encontramos en esta colección, como «I say, I say, I say», sobre el que hablaremos en el siguiente apartado, ofrecen una imagen realista y conmovedora del mundo contemporáneo, dotándola de una gran intensidad imaginativa.

Background:
Treatment of post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis cases is of paramount importance for kala-azar elimination; however, limited treatment regimens are available as of now.

Aim:
To compare the effectiveness of liposomal amphotericin B vs miltefosine in post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis patients.

Methodology:
This was a randomized, open-label, parallel-group study. A total of 100 patients of post kala azar dermal leishmaniasis, aged between 5 and 65 years were recruited, 50 patients in each group A (liposomal amphotericin B) and B (miltefosine). Patients were randomized to receive either liposomal amphotericin B (30 mg/kg), six doses each 5 mg/kg, biweekly for 3 weeks or miltefosine 2.5 mg/kg or 100 mg/day for 12 weeks. All the patients were followed at 3rd, 6th and 12th months after the end of the treatment.

Results:
In the liposomal amphotericin B group, two patients were lost to follow-up, whereas four patients were lost to follow-up in the miltefosine group. The initial cure rate by “intention to treat analysis” was 98% and 100% in liposomal amphotericin B and miltefosine group, respectively. The final cure rate by “per protocol analysis” was 74.5% and 86.9% in liposomal amphotericin B and miltefosine, respectively. Twelve patients (25.5%) in the liposomal amphotericin B group and six patients (13%) in the miltefosine group relapsed. None of the patients in either group developed any serious adverse events.

Limitations:
Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was not performed at all the follow-up visits and sample sizes.

Conclusion:
Efficacy of miltefosine was found to be better than liposomal amphotericin B, hence, the use of miltefosine as first-line therapy for post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis needs to be continued. However, liposomal amphotericin B could be considered as one of the treatment options for the elimination of kala-azar from the Indian subcontinent.

Published: February 2021

Civil apparatus of the state should remain optimal in providing service to the community at the time of running work from home as a pandemic impact of Covid-19. Bureaucratic performance should also be maintained to ensure government programs can be directly perceived by the public. Governments are required to be able to apply flexible work patterns from two sides. That is flexible from the side of the work implementation, and flexible from the user side that in this case is the community. Despite working from home, the state civil apparatus is required to be able to provide optimal performance. This research seeks to see the motivation influence of state civil apparatus on their performance either directly or through disciplinary variables. Quantitative design has been adopted for this study using survey questionnaires prepared based on the Likert Scale (strongly disagree -1 and 5 to strongly agree). The sample size consists of 100 state civil apparatuses and is processed using PLS. The results of this study concluded that direct motivation does not affect performance, but indirectly through discipline, motivation can influence a significant effect at the overall performance of civil apparatus of the state

As we know, the life of the people of Tanjung Pauh Hamlet, Tanjung Belit Village, Rokan Hulu Regency is still fairly traditional. The problem discussed in this research is concerned with the sugar palm farmers in Tanjung Pauh hamlet. The palm sugar produced is very popular with consumers because of its pure taste without a mixture of preservatives or chemicals, and because the manufacturing process prioritizes quality. It's just that due to a shortage of sap water, the production of palm sugar in Tanjung Pauh hamlet can be said to be very little to meet the needs of the community itself. Therefore, we tried to do research by conducting a survey of the location of the palm trees, the location of the palm sugar making, and collecting data on the needs of the palm farmers in Tanjung Pauh hamlet. This study aims to provide guidance to the community of Tanjung Pauh hamlet as a hamlet that has the potential to develop income through improving the quality and marketing of palm sugar. We gave a little idea to the palm farmers in Tanjung Pauh hamlet to produce palm sugar, which is palm sugar which is usually in the form of blocks, which is now being innovated into the form of ant sugar, in order to attract consumers' attention to love palm sugar in Tanjung Pauh hamlet.

Published: February 2021

Introduction: Mammography is a simple and effective tool in early detection of breast lesions. However its sensitivity is less in dense breast. The aim of the study is to see whether addition of ultrasonography adds on to the diagnostic value by finding more breast lesions in evaluation of mammographic dense breasts or not.
Methods: The hospital data of all the patients who underwent mammography in the Department of Radiology of Shree Birendra Hospital, Kathmandu over a period of two and a half years from November 2017 to April 2020 were retrieved and retrospectively analyzed. The mammographic findings of patients with dense breast were compared with the corroborative ultrasonographic findings. Discrepancy in positive findings between the two imaging modalities was studied.
Results: Out of 536 patients studied, 238 patients had mammographic dense breast. Comparative study showed 82 cases with positive findings on mammography alone, compared to 114 cases with positive findings on combined mammography and ultrasonography with p-value < 0.05 which is statistically significant.
Conclusions: Ultrasonography is a useful additional imaging modality in evaluation of mammographic dense breast by finding more breast lesions compared to Mammography alone.
