BUILDING AN INTEGRAL INDICATOR OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE MICROCREDIT SYSTEM BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF MODELS OF QUALITY OF LIFE
Authors: Balamirzoev N. L. 
Published: June 2019

Objectives The policy of the state microcredit system should be aimed at achieving the maximum possible value of the indicators I.MFO, IB, IB and IBH. The greater the value of all of the introduced indicators IB, IFO, IB, IB and IB, the more effective from the point of view of state interests is the system of micro crediting . Method. The BLI and Diener models were used to assess the quality of life in terms of the possibilities and feasibility of using them to assess the effectiveness of the microcredit system. Result. In this paper, the formation of a composition of indicators to assess the effectiveness of the microcredit system based on the indicators considered in the proposed models is carried out. A variant is proposed for constructing an integral indicator for assessing the effectiveness of both the microcredit system as a whole and a separate microfinance organization (MFI). A list of 21 indicators was compiled, on the basis of which an integral indicator of the functioning of the MFO system was built. Conclusion. A set of indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of the microcredit system has been formed. Relations have been formed to estimate the value of the integral indicator of the effectiveness of the microcredit system, both at the level of the entire state and at the level of an individual region, which makes it possible to compare individual regions and states according to thedegree of effectiveness of microcredit systems in them.

Published: June 2019

<p>El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar la incidencia del desarrollo financiero sobre el crecimiento económico. Con este fin, mediante un modelo autorregresivo con rezagos distribuidos se prueba empíricamente la participación del mercado bursátil y del sistema bancario en la dinámica del producto interno bruto de México durante el periodo 1996-2018. Los resultados principales muestran que la profundización del sistema financiero genera efectos bivalentes sobre la evolución del producto: por un lado, la evidencia sugiere una relación inversa con la intermediación bancaria y, por otro, una relación positiva con la capitalización bursátil. </p><p> </p><p align="center">FINANCIAL RESTRICTION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN MEXICO</p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p align="center"> </p>The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of financial development on economic growth. The contribution of both capital and credit market movements on the dynamics of Mexico’s gross domestic product (GDP) over the period 1996-2017 is empirically tested using an Autoregressive Distributive Lag model. The main findings show that the deepening of the financial system generates bivalent effects on the evolution of GDP. The evidence also suggests an inverse relationship with bank intermediation and a positive one with stock market capitalization.
Do Interviewers Actually Know More about Falseness in an Inquiry Than They Communicate in a Direct Lying Assessment?
Authors: Lee Chih-Chen , Welker Robert B. 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT
Research suggests that interviewers' judgments about an interviewee's truthfulness are too unreliable to be useful for important decisions such as fraud risk assessment. The present study examines whether interviewers can distinguish falsifiers from truth-tellers. In an experiment, accounting students (n = 66) interviewed either a falsifying or truth-telling interviewee. Those who interviewed a falsifier perceived the interviewee as thinking harder and less forthcoming, and the interviewer expressed a stronger belief that the interviewee had lied (Lying). A logistic regression function accurately detected more falsifiers with the interviewee's perceptions of thinking hard and forthcomingness as predictors than with Direct Lying assessments. These findings suggest that interviewers know more about an interviewee's lying than they convey in a direct lying assessment. Hence, interviewers may have insight about an interviewee's appearance that can improve evaluations of audit and fraud risk.

Published: June 2019

La necesidad de acceso de las mujeres a la educación superior en México se hace patente desde tiempos remotos. Sin embargo, los primeros estudios sobre mujeres investigadoras en este país pueden rastrearse hace menos de 80 años; más reciente aún es el interés por conocer las vicisitudes por las que pasa una mujer en su carrera como investigadora, y en el contexto mexicano más concretamente como miembro del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI). Por ello, el estudio que aquí se presenta buscó comprender las experiencias e identificar los retos percibidos por las investigadoras pertenecientes al SNI para el ingreso, permanencia y promoción dentro del sistema.
Esta investigación se enmarcó en el paradigma interpretativo y para la recopilación de la información se utilizó la técnica de la entrevista semiestructurada. El análisis de la información se realizó mediante el método de las comparaciones constantes. A partir este se identificó que las participantes percibieron algunos retos a nivel personal e institucional, los cuales se reflejaron en las metacategorías construidas. La metacategoría de lo personal se dividió en dos categorías. Por un lado, el “ser investigadora”, en donde se hace referencia a las experiencias que han vivido y que las han llevado a convertirse en investigadoras, además del significado que tiene para ellas dedicarse a esto y cómo se definen a sí mismas dentro de esta labor. Por otro lado, el papel de la familia, en la que se encontraron en un extremo las dificultades para lograr el balance entre la vida familiar y el trabajo, y en el otro la importancia del apoyo familiar en su carrera profesional. En la metacategoría de lo institucional, mientras tanto, las investigadoras se enfrentan a la cultura y políticas de dos instituciones diferentes: la universidad a la que están adscritas y el propio SNI. Dentro de los hallazgos más relevantes se puede decir que tanto en universidades públicas como privadas las mujeres se enfrentan al desafío de lograr un balance entre la vida familiar y el trabajo. Pasando al actuar profesional, se presentan dos retos comunes: las dificultades para la producción científica y la formación de nuevos investigadores. En las universidades públicas esto se debe en la mayoría de los casos a la falta de tiempo como consecuencia de actividades como la maternidad y la atención a la familia, mientras que, en las particulares, lo primero es consecuencia de los tiempos para la revisión, publicación e indexación, y lo segundo por la ausencia de posgrados orientados a la investigación en la universidad de adscripción.

Published: June 2019

Rural development is a spotlight during 2015 – 2019. Two issuesin the development of rural communitiesare the fact that in the past two decades, the development progress has only been focused on urban areas while in general our country the development has been dominated by rural areas and despite various efforts and rural development programsinitiated by the government in the New Order era, the socio-economic conditions of rural communities are still very far from the expected (alarming).This study aimed to develop local potential-based entrepreneurship model in Kangean islands. The development of the model becomes a model of rural settlement issues, particularly on islands. Entrepreneurship development model includes upstream downstream of local potentials capable of being expanded in agricultural and marketing sectors to become one of the tourism objects.This study used multi-methods analysisby applying LoqationQuotion (LQ) method, SWOT analysis, trend analysis, and analysis of CommunityEconomic Empowerment in agriculture and marine. The strategic value and objectiveof the study was toprovide important information on the local potentialsin Kangean islands. The results of the study indicated that the local potentials in agricultural and marine sectors could be used as tourism object. The Development model of local potential-based tourism object was intended to promotelocal potentials while maintaining the local wisdom, such as the character and local cultures.

Published: June 2019

The cloud point extraction (CPE) method was developed to determine the zinc prior to Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry detection. Triton X-100 was applied as extractant based on the complexation reaction of Zn(II) ions with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Under optimal conditions, the CPE was used to determine the concentration of zinc in canned food samples. The amounts of zinc found in the food samples were in the range of 0.005-0.007 mg/L with relative standard deviation (RSD) of < 8 %. This confirmed that the proposed CPE method is suitable for the determination of zinc in food samples, indicating the concentration of zinc was within the permissible limit.
Critique of Arab Reason; Epistemology of Islamic Awakening
Authors: Tijani Achmad 
Published: June 2019

Abdul Mukti Rouf, Kritik Nalar Arab: Muhhamad ‘Abid Al-Jabiri, Yogyakarta: LKiS, 2018Reading the book Critique of Arab Reason of Muhammad Abid Aljabiri from the writings of Abdul Mukti Ro'uf requires sufficient intellectual energy. This book is classified as fairly serious research. Its material objects that touch the historical and philosophical aspects that are integrated together make the reader trapped and faced with the arguments of the great figures of the Islamic world with various dynamics that take place in it. Perhaps the involvement of the great figures of the Islamic world is an inevitable choice. Even not only the great figures of internal Islamic community, but a number of large external figures who concentrate in Islamic studies are also involved to present sharp analysis with sufficient weight in breaking down Al-Jabiri's great thought.
Depth Theology and Depth Islam: Abraham Joshua Heschel and Nurcholish Madjid on Religious Pluralism
Authors: Bahri Media Zainul 
Published: June 2019

The work attempts to elucidate the idea of religious pluralism of two very important figures in the traditions of Judaism and Islam: Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) and Nurcholish Madjid (1939-2005). Both figures are interesting to compare for some very important reasons. Although somewhat different, there is much in common between the two, especially in terms of their arguments on the issue of religious pluralism. Their ideas of religious pluralism are based on what the so- called “Depth Theology” (DT) and “Depth Islam” (DI). DT and DI are different from the usual theological dogmas that contain concepts and structures. DT and DI are not literal and superficial forms of religion. Their religious understanding went beyond the literal texts to look for the principles and spirit of religion in appreciating humanity, diversity and peace. In the context of inter-religious tensions due to suspicion, hatred, and hostility, the depth-theology of Heschel and the depth Islam of Madjid find their significance.

Authors: Oura Trisha J. , Graham Jennifer E. , Knafo S. Emi , Aarsvold Stacie , Gladden Jay N. , Barton Bruce A. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To use duplex Doppler ultrasonography to compare gastrointestinal activity in healthy sedated versus nonsedated rabbits and to evaluate agreement between B-mode and pulsed-wave Doppler (PWD) ultrasonographic measurements.

ANIMALS
10 healthy client-owned rabbits brought for routine physical examination and 11 brought for routine ovariohysterectomy or castration.

PROCEDURES
Duplex Doppler ultrasonography of the gastrointestinal tract was performed once for the 10 rabbits that underwent physical examination and twice (before and after presurgical sedation) for the 11 rabbits that underwent routine ovariohysterectomy or castration. Mean number of peristaltic contractions during a 30-second period was determined for the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, cecum, and colon from B-mode and PWD ultrasonographic images that had been video recorded. Findings for the duodenum and jejunum were compared between B-mode and PWD ultrasonography and between sedated and nonsedated rabbits.

RESULTS
Duodenal and jejunal segments had measurable peristaltic waves; however, the stomach, cecum, and colon had no consistent measurable activity. B-mode and PWD ultrasonographic measurements for the duodenum and jejunum had high agreement. No significant difference was identified between nonsedated and sedated rabbits in mean number of peristaltic contractions of the duodenum or jejunum.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results suggested that both B-mode and PWD ultrasonography of the duodenum and jejunum may be suitable for noninvasive evaluation of small intestinal motility in rabbits and that the sedation protocol used in this study had no impact on measured peristaltic values.
In vitro evaluation of the knot-holding capacity and security, weight, and volume of forwarder knots tied with size-3 polyglactin 910 suture exposed to air, balanced electrolyte solution, or equine abdominal fat
Authors: McGlinchey Leah , Boone Lindsey H. , Munsterman Amelia S. , Coleridge Matthew O. D. , Rosanowski Sarah M. , Farag Ramsis , Hanson R. Reid 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of exposure to a balanced electrolyte solution (BES), or equine abdominal fat on the knot-holding capacity (KHC), relative knot security (RKS), weight, and volume of forwarder knots versus surgeon's knots.

SAMPLE
315 knots tied and tested in vitro.

PROCEDURES
United States Pharmacopeia size-3 polyglactin 910 suture exposed to air (dry [control]), equine abdominal fat (fat-exposed), or BES (BES-exposed) was used to tie forwarder knots with 2, 3, and 4 throws and surgeon's knots with 5, 6, 7, and 8 throws. A universal materials testing machine was used to test the tensile strength of suture and knots to failure, and the KHC, RKS, weight, and volume of knots were determined.

RESULTS
Forwarder knots had significantly higher KHC and RKS and lower volume, compared with surgeons’ knots. Forwarder knots tied with fat-exposed suture had greater weight, but not volume, than did forwarder knots tied with dry or BES-exposed suture with the same number of throws.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results indicated that forwarder knots were superior to surgeon's knots when configured as start knots intended for continuous lines of suture. Exposure to media did not negatively affect mechanical or physical properties of forwarder knots and may improve specific biomechanical functions, including KHC and RKS.
Inhibitory effect of taspine derivative TAD1822-7 on tumor cell growth and angiogenesis via suppression of EphrinB2 and related signaling pathways
Authors: Liu Rui , Yu Runze , Cui Yuxin , Fan Mengying , Wang Bo , Zhang Yanmin 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of TAD1822-7, a synthesized taspine derivative, on cancer through its effects on tumor cell growth and angiogenesis via suppression of EphrinB2. The obtained data showed that TAD1822-7 decreased Bel-7402 cell viability and colony formation ability and suppressed cell migration. TAD1822-7 effectively inhibited blood vessel formation in an aortic ring assay to examine angiogenesis. Moreover, it also down regulated the expression of VEGFR2, VEGFR3, CD34, PLCγ, Akt, MMP2, MMP9, and CXCR4, and suppressed the expression of EphrinB2 and its PDZ protein, PICK1, in Bel-7402 cells. These results indicate that TAD1822-7 is a potential anti-angiogenic agent that can inhibit the viability and migration of Bel-7402 cells via suppression of EphrinB2 and the related signaling pathways.
An overview of structurally diversified anticonvulsant agents
Authors: Al-Otaibi Faisal 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
There are several limited approaches to treat epilepsy in hospitals, for example, using medicines, surgery, electrical stimulation and dietary interventions. Despite the availability of all these new and old approaches, seizure is particularly difficult to manage. The quest for new antiepileptic molecules with more specificity and less CNS toxicity continues for medicinal chemists until a new and ideal drug arrives. This review covers new antiseizure molecules of different chemical classes, the exact mode of action of which is still unidentified. Newer agents include sulfonamides, thiadiazoles, semi- and thiosemicarbazones, pyrrolidine-2,5-diones, imidazoles, benzothiazoles and amino acid deriva tives. These new chemical entities can be useful for the design and development of forthcoming antiseizure agents.
Clinical testing of antiretroviral drugs as future prevention against vaginal and rectal transmission of HIV infection – a review of currently available results
Authors: Vysloužil Jakub , Kubová Kateřina , Tkadlečková Veronika Nováková , Vetchý David 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The original purpose of vaginally applied microbicides was to slow down the HIV epidemic among the population until an effective vaccination was developed. Nowadays, antiretrovirals applied in the form of gels or vaginal rings are considered most prominent in this field and are tested via vaginal or, rarely, rectal applications in numerous clinical studies (9 different antiretroviral drugs in 33 clinical studies, especially in Africa). Only tenofovir (1 % gel) and dapivirine (25 mg in vaginal ring) progressed into the phase III clinical testing. Their efficiency depended on the user´s strict adherence to the application regimen (for tenofovir 54 %, for dapivirine 61 % in participants over 25 years of age). Despite this, they are expected to be important and effective tools of preventive medicine in the near future. This review summarizes the results obtained during long-term clinical testing (2005–2018) of antiretroviral drugs against vaginal and rectal transmission of HIV infection.
Oriental Planes Platanus orientalis L. and Other Monumental Trees in Central Squares and Churchyards in NW Greece: Sacred, Emblematic and Threatened
Authors: Stara Kalliopi , Tsiakiris Rigas 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Trees often offer meaningful metaphors of and for society, connecting symbolically social and cultural life and creating specific bonds between nature and culture. We studied central squares and churchyard trees in the mountainous villages of Epirus, NW Greece, recording tree species and measuring their characteristics in the field, using also ethno-ecological tools for valuing their importance in the local community. The most common trees are monumental oriental plane trees (Platanus orientalis L.) which provide a focal point for community life and serve locally as symbols of community origin, reunion and inter-generational continuity. Such plane trees are also highly appreciated nationally for their aesthetic qualities and historical value. Recognition of the conservation importance of monumental trees should be a high priority, so as to secure the future of emblematic trees and the cultural landscapes they create, especially as invasive pathogens are spreading worldwide threatening their existence.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
The use of image processing for the detection and classification of defects has been a reality for some time in science and industry. New methods are continually being presented to improve every aspect of this process. However, these new approaches are applied to a small, private collection of images, which makes a real comparative study of these methods very difficult. The objective of this paper was to compile a public annotated benchmark, that is, an extensive set of images with and without defects, and make these public, to enable the direct comparison of detection and classification methods. Moreover, different methods are reviewed and one of these is applied to the set of images; the results of which are also presented in this paper.
Seed Shape Quantification in the Malvaceae Reveals Cardioid-Shaped Seeds Predominantly in Herbs
Authors: Martín Gómez José Javier , Gutiérrez del Pozo Diego , Cervantes Emilio 
Published: June 2019

AbstractSeed shape in the Malvaceae and other families of the order Malvales was investigated. Seed shape was quantified by comparison with the cardioid. The J index is the percent similarity between both images, the seed and the cardioid, and similarity is considered in cases where the J index is over 90. Seed shape was analysed in 73 genera, and seeds resembling the cardioid were found in 10 genera, eight in the Malvaceae and two in the Bixaceae and Cistaceae. Seed shape was quantified by comparison with the cardioid in 105 species. A correlation was found between the values of the J index and plant form, with higher values of the J index in the seeds of herbs, intermediate – in bushes, and lower values in trees. The results suggest a relationship between seed shape and plant form, where seeds resembling the cardioid are associated with plants having small size.
