Credit Market Frictions and the Linkage Between Dispersion and Macro Uncertainty
Authors: Li Jun E. 
Published: September 2024

Cross-sectional dispersion and macro uncertainty (volatility of aggregate economic variables) are conceptually distinct. However, empirically, they both comove and are countercyclical. This paper builds a general equilibrium model and demonstrates that credit market frictions allow cross-sectional dispersion to drive time-varying macro uncertainty endogenously. In the model, as firm-level productivity becomes more dispersed, more firms are pushed to the left tail of the productivity distribution, resulting in more defaults and a depletion in aggregate net worth. This mechanism generates countercyclical leverage and aggregate volatility. The model implies that the government can inject equity in economic downturns to stabilize aggregate volatility.

Managerial Overextrapolation: Who and When
Authors: Huang Dayong , Lei Lijun , Wang Mengmeng , Xing Yuhang 
Published: September 2024

Corporate managers overextrapolate past earnings in their earnings guidance, and this behavior is robust after including extensive controls, such as expectation management, earnings management, and overconfidence. The degree of overextrapolation is driven by the persistence of the underlying earnings process and other factors that affect representativeness heuristics, including trend, salience, and volatility. Experience and value diversity among corporate managers help mitigate this bias, whereas demographic diversity does not. Using the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, we provide causal evidence that managers overextrapolate past earnings. This paper was accepted by Camelia Kuhnen, finance.

Gender, Race, and Entrepreneurship: A Randomized Field Experiment on Venture Capitalists and Angels
Authors: Gornall Will , Strebulaev Ilya A. 
Published: September 2024

We study gender and race in high-impact entrepreneurship using a tightly controlled randomized field experiment. We sent out 80,000 pitch emails introducing promising but fictitious start-ups to 28,000 venture capitalists and angels. Each email was sent by a fictitious entrepreneur with randomly assigned gender and race. Female entrepreneurs received 9% more interested replies than males pitching identical projects and Asians received 6% more than Whites. Our results suggest that investors do not discriminate against female or Asian entrepreneurs when evaluating unsolicited pitch emails and that future research on investor biases should focus on networks and in-person interactions.

Physico-chemical properties and organoleptic acceptability of star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi Linn.) jam with variations of natural sweeteners
Authors: Dewi Arda Rospita , Juwitaningtyas Titisari 
Published: September 2024

Belimbing wuluh (Averrhoa bilimbi Linn.) is a fruit plant from Indonesia that has a very sour taste because it contains citric acid and oxalic acid. This sour taste is why this fruit has yet to be optimally utilized. This study aimed to determine the effect of natural sweetener variations on wuluh star fruit jam's physico-chemical and organoleptic properties. This study used an experimental method in which the experiment was designed in a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 repetitions. The results of this study showed that the addition of natural sweeteners to wuluh star fruit jam had a significant effect (p < 0.05) on viscosity (9143 – 9450 mpa.s), sineresis (1.295 – 4.592 mg), vitamin C test (17.540 – 25.629 mg/100g), moisture content (23.57 – 31.19%), total sugar content (58.01 – 69.41%wb) and which had no significant effect (p>0.05) on pH (3.38 – 3.64%). Meanwhile, organoleptic testing did not significantly affect taste, color, texture, aroma, and spreadability parameters.

Background/Aims Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency worsens the risk of anaemia and complicates gestation and birth if poorly managed. This study investigated the prevalence and factors associated with anaemia and this deficiency in pregnant women. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among 369 pregnant women at the Cape Coast Metropolitan Hospital, Ghana. Multiple logistic regression was used to investigate the relationship between anaemia and various sociodemographic variables. Results The prevalence of anaemia was 41.2% at 13 weeks' and 66.7% at 36 weeks' gestation. Overall, 29.8% of participants were glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient. Age (P=0.024)and marital status (P=0.009) were significantly associated with anaemia at 13 weeks. Gravidity (P=0.014) and employment status (P=0.001) were significantly associated with anaemia at 36 weeks. Conclusions There was a high prevalence of co-morbid anaemia and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency at 13 and 36 weeks' gestation. Future studies should consider genetic and dietary factors that may contribute to gestational anaemia. Implications for practice Clinicians and midwives should be aware of the factors that can affect anaemia and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, particularly in areas where deficiency is prevalent. Early detection could allow individualised treatment.

Published: September 2024

Introduction
The median and ulnar nerves have been suggested to play a significant role in hand function; however, there are insufficient data to determine the strength of this association. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between hand function as measured with the Grooved pegboard test (GPT) and conduction velocity and latency of the median and ulnar nerves.

Methods
We collected convenience samples in the College of Medicine, KSAU-HS. We used GPT to characterize hand function and performed measured nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and latency of the ulnar and median nerves of both hands. We used the Edinburgh handedness inventory (EHI) to determine hand dominance.

Results
We recruited 28 healthy medical students aged 20–29 years (mean: 21.46 ± 1.62 years). Most were right-handed (n = 25, 89.3%), with a mean EHI score of 302 ± 210. The mean GPT time was significantly faster in the dominant (65.5 ± 6.4 s) than in the non-dominant (75.0 ± 9.6 s) hand. The NCV for the ulnar nerve of the dominant hand was significantly correlated with GPT (r = -0.52, p = 0.005) while median nerve was not correlated (0.24, p = 0.21). Regression analysis and collinearity test showed that the ulnar NCV explained 20% of the variance in GPT of the dominant hand (R2 = 0.203, p = 0.016).

Conclusion
The ulnar nerve conduction velocity, explained 20% of the variance in GPT times of the young men. Performance on this biomarker of neurological health seems to be more influenced by other factors in healthy young individuals.
A deprofesszionalizálódó középiskolai tanárképzés a két világháború között: A tanárképzés 1921–1929 közötti reformja
Authors: Garai Imre 
Published: September 2024

1924 különleges évnek tekinthető az 1924. évi XVII. törvény bevezetése miatt, amely a középiskolai tanárképzést szabályozta Magyarországon. A törvényhez kapcsolódó eddigi irodalom a tanárképzési intézményrendszer hozzáigazítását emelte ki az átalakuló középiskoláztatáshoz, amely tükrözte a kormányzat társadalmi célkitűzéseit.
A tanulmány a tanárképzési intézményrendszer reformjának egy más szempontú megközelítését javasolja egy új kronológiai és elméleti keret alkalmazásán keresztül. A professzióelméletek kritikai megközelítésének és különösen a deprofesszionalizáció fogalmának alkalmazása feltárhatja a kormányzat és a tanárképzés szakértői elitcsoportjai közötti kapcsolatok megváltozását. A kutatás során a levéltári források dokumentumelemzése és a szakirodalmi dokumentumelemzés módszerei kerültek elsődlegesen alkalmazásra.
A kutatás eredményei azt sugallják, hogy a professziós csoportok standardizációs törekvéseit a kormányzati szereplők felhasználták a professziós intézmények feletti politikai kontroll kiterjesztésére a működésüket szabályozó dokumentumok felülvizsgálati kereteinek meghatározásán és az intézményt működtető kulcsszemélyek gondos megválogatásán keresztül. A professziós intézmények belső működésébe történő ilyen mértékű beavatkozás a deprofesszionalizáció veszélyével fenyegette a teljes középiskolai tanárképzést.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Introduction
One of the fatal and debilitating neurodegenerative diseases is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Increasing age is one of the risk factors of ALS. Considering that the elderly population in the world is increasing, it is very important to identify useful and effective diagnostic and treatment methods. The purpose of this systematic review is to determine the relationship between chitotriosidase (CHIT1) level and ALS disorder.

Content
Keywords “Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis”, “Gehrig* Disease”, “Charcot Disease”, “Guam Disease”, ALS, CHIT1 and chitotriosidase were searched in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Science Direct databases without time limit on September 2023. Hundred twenty studies were obtained by searching, and finally, 14 studies were included in this study using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In all 14 selected studies, the level of biomarker CHIT1 in the CSF of ALS patients was significantly higher than that of healthy control and disease control groups. But, in 8 studies that included 3 groups, no significant difference was observed between the CHIT1 levels in the two control groups. Six studies have reported the amount of CHIT1 level quantitatively. Among these 6 studies, in 5 studies CHIT1 level in disease control was higher than healthy control (not significant) and in only one study CHIT1 level was higher in healthy control compared to disease control (not significant).

Summary and outlook
In all 14 studies, a multifold increase in CHIT1 levels has been observed in patients compared to healthy and disease control groups. Therefore, based on the findings of the studies, this study confirms the relationship between CHIT1 increase and ALS disorder.
Main heat transport system configuration influence on steam drum level control and safety for a pressure tube type boiling water reactor with multiple interconnected loops

Published: September 2024

Abstract
NCABWR (Natural-Circulation-Advanced-Boiling-Water-Reactor) is a pressure-tube-type BWR with multiple inter-connected Main-Heat-Transport (MHT) system loops and steam drums (SDs). SD-Level-Control is related to, the MHT coolant inventory and sustained heat removal, hence the overall safety of the Nuclear-Power-Plant (NPP). SD-Level is vital for ensuring presence of adequate coolant-inventory with sufficient and prolonged cooling of fuel, for normal-operation and accidents. In the initial-MHT-configuration of NCABWR the four MHT-loops are, inter-connected at the Common-Reactor-Inlet-Header (CRIH), which influences the SDLC adversely; such occurrences are, not reported in the open literature. Open loop (without SD-level-controllers) step-change response showed that initial MHT-configuration response is stable, non-oscillatory and non-diverging even for a high-magnitude step-change in the feed-flows. Closed-loop (with SD-level-controllers) response, even to minor disturbances leads to diverging SD-Levels due to CRIH-MHT-configuration (Gaikwad, A.J., Vijayan, P., Iyer, K., Bhartiya, S., Kumar, R., Lele, H.G., Ghosh, A.K., Kushwaha, H.S., and Sinha, R.K. (2009). Effect of loop configuration on steam drum level control for a multiple drum interconnected loops pressure tube type boiling water reactor. IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. 56: 3712–3725). CRIH is required to overcome Postulated-Initiating-Event (PIE) for single-accumulator-failure-LOCA. A hypothetical MHT-configuration with partitioning of CRIH will isolate each loop from one another and lead to a stable SDLC, but then for the above-mentioned PIE safety is not met. LOCA in one of the four ECCS header-compartments require a mandatory interconnection among, the four MHT-Loops at CRIH. Solution to SDLC issue were explored with changes in MHT-configuration and with innovative solution-schemes for feed-water-system and SDLCs. In the present study the pioneering solution-schemes with individual SD pressure control for SD level control and the Split/Double baffle are proposed, implemented and the performance was tested with simulation are discussed in details with other solution schemes.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Objective
This study investigated the effect of forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) and Aurora kinase B (AURKB) on the epidermal function of keratinocytes.

Methods
Bioinformatics analysis was used to analyze the co-expression network of FOXM1 and its correlation with AURKB. The expression of FOXM1 and AURKB in tissues and cells was detected by immunofluorescence and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, respectively. HaCaT cells were transfected with si-FOXM1 to knock down FOXM1. Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 assay. Cell migration was detected by scratch assay. Cell invasion was detected by the Transwell invasion assay. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry.

Results
FOXM1 and AURKB were positively correlated and highly expressed in psoriatic lesions. After transfection of si-FOXM1, the expression levels of FOXM1 and AURKB genes significantly decreased. The proliferation of HaCaT cells decreased, the apoptosis rate increased significantly, and the proportion of cells in the G1 phase increased significantly, while the proportion of cells in the S phase decreased significantly. The scratch closure of HaCaT cells was reduced, and the number of cell invasions decreased significantly.

Conclusion
FOXM1 and AURKB may affect the progression of psoriasis by regulating the proliferation, cell cycle, migration, and invasion of keratinocytes.

Investigation of varying tip clearance gap and operating conditions on the fulfilment of low-speed axial flow fan
Authors: Vala Jignesh R. , Patel Dinesh K. , Darji Anand P. , Natrayan L. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The present study aims to identify the suitable tip clearance and volumetric flow rates for low-speed axial flow fans. The performance of an axial fan depends on various parameters like fan speed, available tip clearance gap, volumetric flow rate, power consumption, and working fluid. Leakage flow occurring at a rotating component such as a blade and solid casing of a ducted axial fan is typically linked to losses and the potential emergence of a rotating stall. The numerical analysis for this study uses the Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes equations with the k-omega SST turbulence model to perform the steady-state simulations by varying tip gap and volumetric flow rate. The results proved that the optimum performance was obtained with a tip clearance gap of 1 mm, and maximum fan efficiency was achieved at a volumetric flow rate of 3.9–4.5 m3/s. The novelty of this proposed work is to enhance the efficiency of axial flow fans with circular arc-cambered aerofoils using optimum tip clearance and volumetric flow rate through steady-state simulations. This method can be used in turbomachinery to improve fan performance.
Exploring Intention & Reactance in Social Norm Interventions for Rail Business Travel
Authors: Müller Adrian , Stauch Alexander 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Shifting continental business travel from carbon-intensive modes to rail is crucial for emissions reduction. Behavioral interventions are a way to achieve this, but a gap exists in understanding their efficacy for sustainable business travel behavior. Based on online experiments with frequent business travelers, we scrutinize the impact of descriptive social norm interventions on mode choice intention, considering potentially negative employee reactions. While revealing factors influencing reactance and intention, contrary to expectations derived from the theory of planned behavior, behavioral interventions literature, and psychological reactance theory, our social norm treatments did not significantly impact mode choice intention and resulted in low reactance levels. Despite these unexpected results indicating that our interventions did not yield the desired changes, our study underscores the challenges of influencing sustainable business travel behavior and emphasizes the need for tailored interventions and incentives in practice, suggesting avenues for further research.
TAIGA HEADING NORTH

Published: September 2024

В статье рассмотрена проблема продвижения тайги на север как части последствий изменения климата в мире. Цель публикации состоит в том, чтобы исследовать новые возможности для развития экономики Сибири, а также систематизировать основные направления адаптации экономики к изменяющимся условиям хозяйствования. Расширение пло­щади тайги увеличивает лесные ресурсы России. Изменяется состав тайги: сокращается доля лиственницы и сосны, на их место приходят кедр и ель, а также смешанные леса. Происходят изменения и в составе диких животных, и в структуре рыб, обитающих в морях, реках и прес­ных водоемах. Автором проанализированы результаты ранее проведен­ных исследований по данной теме, систематизированы и интегрированы их результаты. В настоящее время наблюдается отставание российской (в част­ности, сибирской) науки от мировой в прогнозировании изменений кли­мата и их последствий, а также в разработке и применении матема­тических моделей, на которых базируются прогнозы. Второй недоста­ток, от которого нужно избавиться, состоит в подходе к затронутой проблеме, который выявился в системе государственного управления, а именно в ожидании от изменений климата исключительно потенци­ального ущерба. По мнению автора, продвижение тайги на российский север расширяет возможности развития экономики страны.
This article examines the northward advancement of the taiga as one of the consequences of global climate change. The objective of the publication is to explore new opportunities for the development of Siberia’s economy, as well as to systematize the key strategies for the economy’s adaptation to evolving conditions. The expansion of the taiga is increasing Russia’s forest resources. Its composition is altering: the proportion of larch and pine is decreasing, replaced by cedar, spruce, and mixed forests. These changes are also affecting the composition of wild animal populations and the structure of fish species in seas, rivers, and freshwater bodies. The author reviews previous research on this topic, systematizes, and integrates the results. We note a current lag between Russian (particularly Siberian) and glo­bal science in predicting climate change and its consequences, as well as in the development and application of the mathematical models used for forecasts. Another issue that needs addressing is the approach to the problem under study within public administration, which tends to focus solely on po­tential damage from climate change. The author argues that the northward movement of the taiga enhances opportunities for the development of the Rus­sian economy.
Jean Le Fèvre, Disners, and the War of the Union d’Aix (1382–1388) during the Great Western Schism
Authors: Rollo-Koster Joëlle 
Published: September 2024

The role of commensality, particularly banquets, in peace negotiations is well-known. Banquets were a part of various occasions and rites of passage, including births, knighting ceremonies, marriages, and elections/nominations. They were also an integral component of political rituals, such as when a prince embarked on travels. Notably, banquets symbolized reconciliation, marking the transition from war to peace and agreements between lords since sharing a meal together represented the act of reconciliation. In the following essay, which is based on a reading of Jean Le Fèvre’s journal, I argue that it was not just the banquet itself but the dining table that played a significant role in negotiations. Once established that disners referred to lunches, I explore how they served as chronological markers for afternoon meetings, indicating different stages of negotiations. These occasions were often used to announce important political decisions and acted as focus points for organizing petitions and negotiations. Groups engaged in discussions frequently gathered around the table to facilitate their conversations, taking advantage of the opportunities to exchange gifts and gather valuable information.
Scaling Relationships between Local Magnitude, Seismic Moment, and Radiated Seismic Energy for the 18 April 2019 Xiulin, Taiwan, Earthquake Sequence: Implications for Source Non-Self-Similarity
Authors: Chan Jing-Bei , Hwang Ruey-Der , Lin Cai-Yi , Lin Chiung-Yao 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Using local seismograms, we obtain the source parameters of the 2019 ML 6.32 Xiulin, Taiwan, earthquake sequence to establish scaling relationships among the local magnitude (ML), seismic moment (M0), moment magnitude (Mw), and radiated seismic energy (ES) for ML&lt;4.0 events. The key findings are as follows: (1) logES∝2.0ML, which is consistent with previous studies; (2) logM0∝1.0ML, which leads to Mw∝0.67ML; and (3) the scaled energy (ES/M0) is proportional to M0. These relationships imply that the source duration (T) should be independent of M0. Further analysis via forward waveform modeling reveals a very weak correlation between T and M0 (i.e., logT∝0.03logM0), suggesting that T should be nearly constant. These findings indicate that the source properties of the 2019 Xiulin earthquake sequence were not self-similar. In addition, the two relationships, logES∝2.0ML and logM0∝1.0ML, suggest that ES/M0 should increase with M0 rather than ES/M0 tending to be a constant.
