Health Insurance Coverage and Firm Performance: Evidence Using Firm Level Data from Vietnam
Authors: Yamada Hiroyuki , Vu Tien Manh 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In literature, there is limited direct evidence regarding the effect of health insurance coverage on firm performance and worker productivity. We study the impacts of health insurance on medium- and large-scale domestic private firms’ performance and productivity in Vietnam, using a large firm level census dataset. We find statistically, but suggestive, positive health insurance effects on both aggregate profit and profit per worker for both complying and non-complying firms when using the full sample. We further restrict the sample to specific industries. The positive health insurance effects could exist for both complying and non-complying firms in the heavy manufacturing and construction sector, while such positive effects could be only significant for complying firms in the wholesale/retail sectors. We could not find any evidence of positive health insurance effects in the light manufacturing sector. These results imply that the impacts of health insurance could be industry specific.
Critical Theory and Semiotics: Contributions from Latin America to a Marxist Discussion
Authors: Gandler Stefan 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
How is it possible to understand a specific cultural determination of human praxis, especially the productive and consumptive one, without falling into ethnologising human subjects in their everyday forms of reproduction, or construct biological fixations? The former senior faculty of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) Bolívar Echeverría (Riobamba, Ecuador 1941-Mexico City 2010), who does not limit human culture to its “elevated” forms and bases his analysis in the precise manner of material reproduction, finds an adequate image of this relationship between freedom and tradition, between individuality and a historically- and geographically-determined collectivity. This image lies in human languages, their innumerable speech acts and in a science that studies the relation of interdependence among them: semiotics. Starting from that concrete philosophical problem, retaking Saussure’s conceptual proposals and confronting them philosophically with Marx’s and Echeverría’s theories, we try to construct a basis for a critical epistemological contribution from the Global South, overcoming in that way one of the most powerful and destructive rests of the old colonial processes: “intellectual” Eurocentrism

AbstractBackgroundEarly relapse in colorectal cancer (CRC) after curative resection is mainly attributed to the key determinants such as tumor histology, stage, lymphovascular invasion, and the response to chemotherapy.Case presentationInterindividual variability in the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy between patients receiving the same treatment may be ascribed to the patients’ genetic profile. In this report, we highlight a clinical case of a patient with stage II CRC who relapsed within a short period after starting adjuvant chemotherapy and was later found to have multiple genetic polymorphisms in theDPYD,TYMS, MTHFR, andDHFRgenes.ConclusionsBased on the clinical data of the patient and the key role of these genes in 5-fluorouracil pathway, we hypothesize that these variants may contribute to the drug response and early relapse in CRC.
Multi-Agent System Based on the Extreme Learning Machine and Fuzzy Control for Intelligent Energy Management in Microgrid

Published: September 2018

Abstract
Renewable energies constitute an alternative to fossil energies for several reasons. The microgrid can be assumed as the ideal way to integrate a renewable energy source in the production of electricity and give the consumer the opportunity to participate in the electricity market not just like a consumer but also like a producer. In this paper, we present a multi-agent system based on wind and photovoltaic power prediction using the extreme learning machine algorithm. This algorithm was tested on real weather data taken from the region of Tetouan City in Morocco. The process aimed to implement a microgrid located in Tetouan City and composed of different generation units (solar and wind energies were combined together to increase the efficiency of the system) and storage units (batteries were used to ensure the availability of power on demand as much as possible). In the proposed architecture, the microgrid can exchange electricity with the main grid; therefore, it can buy or sell electricity. Thus, the goal of our multi-agent system is to control the amount of power delivered or taken from the main grid in order to reduce the cost and maximize the benefit. To address uncertainties in the system, we use fuzzy logic control to manage the flow of energy, to ensure the availability of power on demand, and to make a reasonable decision about storing or selling electricity.
Water-filled Asian elephant tracks serve as breeding sites for anurans in Myanmar
Authors: Platt Steven G. , Bickford David P. , Win Myo Min , Rainwater Thomas R. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Elephants are widely recognized as ecosystem engineers. To date, most research on ecosystem engineering by elephants has focused on Loxodonta africana and Loxodonta cyclotis, and the role of Elephas maximus is much less well-known. We here report observations of anuran eggs and larva in water-filled tracks (n=20) of E. maximus in Myanmar. Our observations suggest that water-filled tracks persist for >1 year and function as small lentic waterbodies that provide temporary, predator-free breeding habitat for anurans during the dry season when alternate sites are unavailable. Trackways could also function as “stepping stones” that connect anuran populations.
Dative intervention is a gang effect
Authors: Murphy Andrew 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThis paper addresses two restrictions regarding agreement with nominative arguments in Icelandic DAT-NOM constructions. The first is the reported asymmetry in intervention effects in mono-clausal versus bi-clausal environments. The second regards the well-known Person Restriction that prohibits agreement with non-3rd person arguments. It is argued that both of these phenomena can be viewed as instances of cumulative constraint interaction, where less important constraints in the grammar ‘gang up’ to block some higher constraint. In order to account for this, I adopt a model of syntax with both weighted constraints and serial optimization that is known asSerial Harmonic Grammarin the phonological literature. It will be demonstrated that such a system can offer a more principled analysis of the construction-specific nature of the aforementioned phenomena.
A Rrapun e Sango páscanlos: la consolidación definitiva del cambio OV > VO en hispanorromance
Authors: Velázquez-Mendoza Omar 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This study documents the definitive consolidation of the Object + Verb (OV) > Verb + Object (VO) change in the passage from Latin to Hispano-Romance. The change can be situated around the very point at which the first cases of clitic duplication of preverbal, nominal direct objects (i.e., direct objects whose nucleus is a noun) surface in the written records. A scrutiny of central-northern Iberian texts, whose composition ranges from the eighth to the twelfth century, allows me to claim that clitic duplication of the most prominent kind of nominal and preverbal direct objects, i.e., humans —as opposed to inanimates—, can be found in the eleventh century. But given that linguistic changes normally occur in speech, rather than in writing, first, our study shows that the categorical consolidation of the change in question happened even before clitic co-referentiality of direct objects emerged in the extant texts. Therefore, clitic duplication of nominal, preverbal animate accusatives points to OV having established itself in Hispano-Romance, by the eleventh century, not only as an emphatic order, but also as a derived pattern from non-emphatic VO.
Egy oktatástörténeti kuriózum
Authors: Erdős Zoltán , Mátyás-Rausch Petra 
Published: September 2018

The study presents the lecture notes from the Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca) University Library, which belonged to István G. Jenei, a Calvinist priest of Zilah (Zalău), Kolozs (Cluj), and then of Zabol, the dean of the Diocese of Kolozs-Katola (Cluj-Kalotan). Jenei studied at the Reformed College in Várad (Oradea), and then enrolled in University of Franeker.
The manuscripts were produced in Oradea in 1626–1627 and can be divided into three divisions: the first part of the material consist of 24 theological disputes, the second part is an extract from the work of Robert Parker De politeia ecclesiastica Christi et hierarchica opposite libri tres, and the third contains 13 disputes from the field of logic. The notes give light to the methods of theological education, the important role of the disputes and the nature of the collective labour of the students.
The owner of the notes has not replaced the material for a long time, and has also added new notes decades later, which shows its value. Thus, a booklet of Hungarian records from between 1657–1661 and an outline of the Latin eulogy given at the burial of Imre Pápai Páriz were implemented to the blank pages.
The topics of the theological and logic debates are listed in the appendix of the study; furthermore the historical records and the eulogy can be red in the transcript of the text.
Laboratory Investigation on Quasi-Static Penetration Testing Using SPT Sampler in Soft Clay Bed
Authors: Mishra Soumyaranjan , Robinson Retnamony G. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The standard penetration test (SPT) is one of the most widely used in-situ penetration tests for subsurface exploration. Its suitability for assessing and predicting the design parameters of granular materials has been well appreciated by the geotechnical engineering community over several decades. However, in the case of soft to very soft clays, the correlation between the standard penetration number (N) and the undrained shear strength is poor. In the recent past, tests conducted at a constant rate of penetration, such as the cone penetration test (CPT), ball penetration test, and T-bar penetration test, have become popular in soft clay regions. These tests also have a distinct advantage over SPT in terms of test setup because, in the case of SPT, the entire weight of the sampler and the rod assembly is directly applied on the subsoil, whereas in the case of CPT, the weight of the assembly is supported externally prior to the penetration. This can cause significant operational advantage in case of soft clay deposits. Despite the shortcomings, SPT is still one of the most widely available site investigation tools in the field, as samples are available for inspection and index tests. The operational disadvantages in the case of soft clay deposits can be overcome by altering the penetration process of SPT. A quasi-static penetration at a constant rate rather than a dynamic penetration will help establish a relationship between the penetration resistance and the strength parameters of soft soils. In this article, a quasi-static penetration test using the standard SPT sampler is conducted on reconstituted clay samples in order to develop an empirical correlation with the laboratory vane shear strength. The particle image velocimetry technique is used for detecting the influence zone and plugging during penetration.
Sickle as Crescent: Islam and Communism in the Netherlands East Indies, 1915-1927
Authors: Hongxuan Lin 
Published: September 2018

This paper examines the confluence of Islam and Communism in the Netherlands East Indies from 1915-1927, by studying how Islam and Communism were theorized as compatible. It analyzes the nature of conciliatory discourses linking Communism and Islam by exploring the profuse anti-colonial print culture of the period. This paper examines four corpora of sources: the published writings of Tan Malaka; selected excerpts from two newspapers edited by Haji Misbach and his associates; Tjokroaminoto’s 1924 book, Islam and Socialism; and finally, Soekarno’s 1926 article, published as Nationalism, Islam and Marxism. This paper will conclude with a brief examination of Dutch reports and oral testimony regarding how Islam and Communism figured in the motivations of participants in the 1926-1927 Communist uprisings.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i2.5675
Mcp1 Promotes Macrophage-Dependent Cyst Expansion in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
Authors: Cassini Marcelo F. , Kakade Vijayakumar R. , Kurtz Elizabeth , Sulkowski Parker , Glazer Peter , Torres Richard , Somlo Stefan , Cantley Lloyd G. 
Published: September 2018

Background
In patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), most of whom have a mutation in PKD1 or PKD2, abnormally large numbers of macrophages accumulate around kidney cysts and promote their growth. Research by us and others has suggested that monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (Mcp1) may be a signal for macrophage-mediated cyst growth.

Methods
To define the role of Mcp1 and macrophages in promoting cyst growth, we used mice with inducible knockout of Pkd1 alone (single knockout) or knockout of both Pkd1 and Mcp1 (double knockout) in the murine renal tubule. Levels of Mcp1 RNA expression were measured in single-knockout mice and controls.

Results
In single-knockout mice, upregulation of Mcp1 precedes macrophage infiltration. Macrophages accumulating around nascent cysts (0–2 weeks after induction) are initially proinflammatory and induce tubular cell injury with morphologic flattening, oxidative DNA damage, and proliferation-independent cystic dilation. At 2–6 weeks after induction, macrophages switch to an alternative activation phenotype and promote further cyst growth because of an additional three-fold increase in tubular cell proliferative rates. In double-knockout mice, there is a marked reduction in Mcp1 expression and macrophage numbers, resulting in less initial tubular cell injury, slower cyst growth, and improved renal function. Treatment of single-knockout mice with an inhibitor to the Mcp1 receptor Ccr2 partially reproduced the morphologic and functional improvement seen with Mcp1 knockout.

Conclusions
Mcp1 is upregulated after knockout of Pkd1 and promotes macrophage accumulation and cyst growth via both proliferation-independent and proliferation-dependent mechanisms in this orthologous mouse model of ADPKD.

Abstract: This paper describes the actions of civil and criminal committed by children or adolescents under the age of 18 years. The issues discussed are how the theories of Islamic Law and Positive Law about the punishment imposed on children or adolescents who commit a civil or criminal act containing legal consequences, and how the views of Islamic Law and Positive Law against some civil and criminal cases involving children or adolescents as the culprit. Based on the results of the study can be concluded, when children or adolescents do civil acts, especially underage marriages in two cases studied, then according to Islamic law the law is valid if it meets harmonious and conditions and age men or women have baligh. But according to the Positive Law the marriage is unlawful if the age of one or both partners is under 16 years for women and 19 years for men. When a child or teenager commits a criminal offense, in four cases examined, according to Islamic Law may be subject to the punishment of ta'zir, and according to the Positive Law shall be punished with minus one third of the principal verdict or returned to the parent or fostered in a government-private.Keywords: child, civil, criminal Abstrak: Tulisan ini memaparkan tentang perbuatan perdata dan pidana yang dilakukan oleh anak atau remaja yang berusia di bawah 18 tahun. Permasalahan yang dibahas adalah bagaimana teori Hukum Islam dan Hukum Positif tentang hukuman yang dijatuhkan kepada anak atau remaja yang melakukan sesuatu perbuatan perdata atau pidana yang mengandung konsekuensi hukum, dan bagaimana pandangan Hukum Islam dan Hukum Positif terhadap beberapa kasus perdata dan pidana yang melibatkan anak atau remaja sebagai pelakunya. Berdasarkan hasil kajian dapat disimpulkan, ketika anak atau remaja melakukan perbuatan perdata, khususnya perkawinan di bawah umur pada dua kasus yang dikaji, maka menurut Hukum Islam hukumnya sah jika sudah memenuhi rukun dan syaratnya dan usia pria atau wanitanya sudah baligh. Namun menurut Hukum Positif perkawinan tersebut melanggar hukum jika usia salah satu atau kedua pasangan di bawah 16 tahun bagi wanita dan 19 tahun bagi pria. Ketika anak atau remaja melakukan perbuatan pidana, dalam empat kasus yang dikaji, maka menurut Hukum Islam dapat dikenakan hukuman ta’zir, dan menurut Hukum Positif dikenakan hukuman dengan dikurangi sepertiga dari vonis pokoknya atau dikembalikan kepada orang tua atau dibina di suatu lembaga milik pemerintah atau swasta.Kata kunci: anak, perdata, pidana
