Distant reading the history of Swedish film politics in 4500 governmental SOU reports
Authors: Norén Fredrik , Snickars Pelle 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Using computational methods, digitized collections and archives can today be scrutinized in their entirety. By distant reading and topic modeling one particular collection – 4500 digitized Swedish Governmental Official Reports (SOU) from 1922 to 1991 – this article gives a new archival perspective of the history of Swedish film politics and policy-making. We examine different probabilistic topics related to film (and media) that the algorithm within the topic modeling software Mallet extracted from the immense text corpora of all these Official Reports. Topic modeling is a computational method to study themes in texts by accentuating words that tend to co-occur and together create different topics. Basically, it is a research tool for the discovery of hidden semantic structures, exploring a collection through the underlying topics that run through it. Hence, our article captures a number of film discourses and trends within the SOU material. In conclusion, we argue that topic modeling should be recognized as a method and research aid for gathering an overview of a major material; as a way to pose new and unforeseen research questions; and as a kind of computational support that makes it possible to apprehend major patterns more or less impossible to detect through a traditional archival investigation.
Abelhas (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) visitantes florais do sabiá (Mimosa Caesalpiniifolia Benth.) em Teixeira de Freitas, Bahia, Brasil
Authors: Döhler Thiago Lacerda , Pina Welber da Costa 
Published: November 2017

Mimosa caesalpiniifolia, conhecida como sabiá, está distribuída por todo nordeste brasileiro e possui grande importância econômica, ecológica e ornamental. É considerada uma planta apícola por produzir grande quantidade de pólen e néctar e visitada, principalmente, por abelhas, que são consideras agentes polinizadores de suma relevância para diversas espécies de plantas. Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar as abelhas visitantes florais do sabiazerio localizados em um fragmento de Mata Atlântica no Extremo Sul da Bahia (Teixeira de Freitas). As coletas foram realizadas entre os meses de abril e maio de 2015, entre 06:00h e 18:00 h. totalizando 108 horas. A técnica utilizada foi coleta ativa, com auxílio de rede entomológica. Foram obtidas 232 abelhas, distribuídas em 11 espécies. As espécies mais abundantes foram Trigona spinipes e Apis mellifera que foram classificadas como constantes e dominantes, as demais foram consideradas acessórias e acidentais. Os horários de maiores visitações ocorreram entre 6h e 10h. A árvore sabiá apresentou maior pico de floração entre abril/maio e demonstra potencial para ser usada como fonte de recursos alimentares (em especial pólen). Por isso, a utilização racional da árvore sabiá poderá auxiliar na conservação e manutenção da comunidade de abelhas neste bioma.
Optimal Regulation of Invasive Species Long-Range Spread: A General Equilibrium Approach
Authors: McDermott Shana 
Published: November 2017

AbstractEconomic activity is implicated in the long-range spread of invasive species, resulting in ecological and economic damages. Current policies that are used to prevent such spread include specific and ad valorem taxes. However, these taxes are often created under ecological and economic uncertainty. To address this concern, this paper develops a general equilibrium model capable of evaluating the efficiency of specific and ad valorem taxes under uncertainty. Results show that specific taxes are more efficient at achieving a social optimum under imperfect information and that a combination of taxes is needed for multiple forms of long-range transmission.
Smoking within the Household: Spousal Peer Effects and Children’s Health Implications
Authors: Canta Chiara , Dubois Pierre 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
We study spousal peer effects on smoking and their implication for the health of children. Smoking decisions are modeled as equilibrium strategies of an incomplete information game within the couple. Using French data, we identify two peer effects: a smoking enhancing effect of smoking partners and a smoking deterring effect of non-smoking partners. An implication of these findings is that the smoking behavior may differ qualitatively in couples where both partners smoke and where only one partner smokes. This interpretation is supported by our finding that, controlling for total tobacco consumption of parents, the respiratory health of children is negatively affected only if both parents smoke.
Private Equity and Devaluation in Emerging Countries
Authors: Herrera-Echeverri Hernán , Haar Jerry , Salazar-Duque Juan Guillermo 
Published: November 2017

Abstract: Using a comprehensive database with 51 emerging countries studied over a 13 year period, we find that devaluation increases the PE investment. More years of annual devaluation have a higher impact in promoting PE investment. Conclusions are confirmed for total and high technology PE investments, but not for early stage PE investments. Devaluation does not benefit PE investment in firms in the early stages of development. Devaluation itself is not sufficient to encourage the appetite of investors; however, some country-level competitiveness variables are indispensable for making a country more fertile for PE investment when a devaluation occurs – the high relevance of competiveness increasing in the long term.
Robust Optimal Design of Working Fluids for Sustainable Low Temperature Energy Recovery Under Uncertain Conditions

Published: November 2017

Abstract
Efficient energy recovery is one of the key technological strategies for coping with reduction and emission of green-house gases. Commonly, such gases are produced during combustion of fossil fuel-based processes. A way to contribute to reduce the emission of green-house gases has to do with energy recovery from low-temperature energy sources, commonly available in industrial processing systems, deploying both mixtures of organic fluids and power Rankine cycles. However, feasible optimal design calls for taking into account uncertainty both in model and process parameters. In this work we propose a robust optimal design approach, based on nonlinear programming, for addressing efficient energy recovery from low-temperature sources which takes advantage of the presence of uncertainty to render optimal processing conditions realizable in practice. The proposed robust optimal approach is particularly suitable when no probability distributions of uncertainty are available and only upper and lower bounds on uncertainty are known. Three case studies are presented to stress the importance of considering the impact and presence of uncertainty on low-temperature Rankine cycles.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
A closed-type water source heat pump dryer integrated with a drying programme (DP) was designed and tested. The DP was developed using psychometric conditions of desired drying air and thermodynamic balance of heat pump. A drying algorithm was developed according to the technical specification of the dryer. Drying air temperature, relative humidity and drying air volumetric flow rate were entered from a programmable logic controller (PLC) screen. In this study, the drying of mint leaves was examined. Mint leaves were dried at different temperatures (35°C, 40°C and 45°C) and at different volumetric flow rates 300 m3/h for a velocity of 0.75 m/s and 600 m3/h for a velocity of 1.5 m/s in the PLC-controlled heat pump dryer. The relative humidity of the drying air entering the dryer chamber was kept between 13.88% and 6.81% and the two air dampers were controlled according to predetermined value. The coefficient of performance (

Published: November 2017

Abstract
In China, there are about 1.6 million tons of thinned young apples (TYAs) every year after blossoming and fruit thinning. These resulting fruits, in reality, could be utilized as agricultural and food resource. This study was undertaken to evaluate the influence on physical properties, bioactive attributes of TYAs that were subjected to chosen drying techniques. In general, significant differences (p < 0.05) exist in physical appearance and polyphenol. Antioxidant capacity was also investigated on the basis of assay for Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) by 2,2ʹ-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), reducing power and 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging ability. Judging from the results, it was concluded that hot air drying at 60℃ is appropriate for large-scale production; furthermore, vacuum freeze drying tends to manufacture high-value up-market TYA products that are available to give the best results for dehydrated fruits. It is suggested that TYA has great potential in the food industry as functional ingredient.
Foreign Aid, Law Reform, and the World Bank’s Doing Business Project
Authors: Yackee Jason Webb 
Published: November 2017

AbstractProminent socio-legal scholars have criticized the World Bank’s Doing Business Project on the grounds that development aid donors improperly condition aid on compliance with Doing Business norms. This paper provides the first empirical test of that thesis. I examine nearly a decade of development assistance to analyze whether developing countries that implement more Doing Business reforms indeed tend to receive more development aid. I find mixed support for the conditionality thesis. While aid from multilateral organizations and from the World Bank’s International Development Assistance (IDA) program are correlated with reform efforts, total aid, as well as aid from rich countries, is not.

Abstract
We are delighted to be present today to share in the celebration of Steven Cheung’s 80th birthday. We bring best wishes from several others who could not be here – Yoram Barzel, Chris Hall, and Douglass North. Congratulations to Steve and thanks to Linda for this special occasion. Steve, congratulations on your keen observation, your broad experience, and the impact of your ideas. Our subject today is Steven Cheung’s advice to economists: that personal observation and real-world business experience can lead economists to greater insights and fewer errors. In his own words: “The world is my laboratory and I want to see things with my own eyes.” We certainly could use better economics. Is Steve right? And if he is right, how to implement his advice?

Abstract
Ward, PA, Ramsden, S, Coutts, AJ, Hulton, AT, and Drust, B. Positional differences in running and nonrunning activities during elite American football training. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2017—The aim of this investigation was to describe differences in training loads between position groups within professional American football. Integrated micro technology data were collected on 63 NFL football players during an American football training camp. Five key metrics (total distance, high-speed distance, player load (PL), PL per minute, and total inertial movement analysis [IMA]) served to quantify both running and nonrunning activities. Players were classified into position groups (defensive back [DB], defensive linemen [DL], linebacker, offensive linemen [OL], quarterback, running back, tight end, and wide receiver [WR]). Training sessions were identified by their relationship to the upcoming match (e.g., -4, -3, and -2). Running and nonrunning activities varied between position groups relative to the training day. Differences in total distance between DB and WR were observed to be unclear across the 3 training days (game day [GD] -4: 74 ± 392 m; GD -3: −122 ± 348 m; and GD -2: −222 ± 371 m). However, moderate to large differences were observed between these 2 positions and the other positional groups. A similar relationship was observed in PL and PL per minute, with the DB and WR groups performing greater amounts of load compared with other positional groups. Differences in high-speed distance varied across positional groups, indicating different outputs based on ergonomic demands. The OL and DL groups ran less but engaged in a higher amount of nonrunning activities (total IMA) with differences ranging from moderate to large across the 3 training days. Total IMA differences between offensive and defensive linemen were unclear on GD -4 (−4 ± 9) and GD -2 (−2 ± 8) and likely moderate on GD -3 (−9 ± 9). Positional differences with regard to running and nonrunning activities highlight the existence of position-specific training within a training microcycle. In addition, total IMA provides a useful metric for quantifying sport-specific movements within the game of American football.
Electrophysiology Reveals the Neural Dynamics of Naturalistic Auditory Language Processing: Event-Related Potentials Reflect Continuous Model Updates

Published: November 2017

AbstractThe recent trend away from ANOVA-based analyses places experimental investigations into the neurobiology of cognition in more naturalistic and ecologically valid designs within reach. Using mixed-effects models for epoch-based regression, we demonstrate the feasibility of examining event-related potentials (ERPs), and in particular the N400, to study the neural dynamics of human auditory language processing in a naturalistic setting. Despite the large variability between trials during naturalistic stimulation, we replicated previous findings from the literature: the effects of frequency, animacy, and word order and find previously unexplored interaction effects. This suggests a new perspective on ERPs, namely, as a continuous modulation reflecting continuous stimulation instead of a series of discrete and essentially sequential processes locked to discrete events.
On Platforms

Published: November 2017

Women-led serials have been getting a lot of attention lately for bringing “the female gaze” to the small screen. Jill Soloway—the television auteur behind Transparent (Amazon, 2014–) and the recent adaptation of Kraus's novel, I Love Dick (Amazon, 2017–)—even taught a class on “The Female Gaze” at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2016, defining it as “an intersectional gaze” and “a SOCIOPOLITICAL justice-demanding way of art making.”
But the female gaze is actually a very vexed concept. Since it was first invoked via exclusion in Laura Mulvey's foundational “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema” in 1975, it has been haphazardly defined more often by what it is not than by what it is.
Three current series—I Love Dick, GLOW, and Insecure—all explore how women empower themselves through experiences of abjection: states of vexation and alienation that disrupt their expectations of or participation in social life. All three shows demand respect for their characters by figuring defeat, failure, and desperation as stages women must pass through to challenge patriarchal cultures. While all three shows feature diverse casts and strong female leads, I Love Dick and GLOW introduce characters of color only in supporting roles that contest but never destabilize the white protagonists' racial solipsism. This strategic but facile gesture reveals how far these shows have to go to confront the entangled injustices of social inequality. To incorporate the experiences and insights of women of color meaningfully, their creators would have to abandon the narrative commitments and familiar pleasures of white feminist television, which still needs to decenter whiteness both narratively and figuratively. Insecure's trenchant comedy thus provides a model for future feminist television. Its self-critical but antiracist humor challenges white feminism's and television's historic neglect of black women.
Trends of Out-of-Hospital Sudden Cardiac Death Among Children and Young Adults
Authors: El-Assaad Iqbal , Al-Kindi Sadeer G. , Aziz Peter F. 
Published: November 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Previous estimates of sudden cardiac death in children and young adults vary significantly, and population-based studies in the United States are lacking. We sought to estimate the incidence, causes, and mortality trends of sudden cardiac death in children and young adults (1–34 years).

METHODS:
Demographic and mortality data based on death certificates for US residents (1–34 years) were obtained (1999–2015). Cases of sudden death and sudden cardiac death were retrieved by using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes.

RESULTS:
A total of 1 452 808 subjects aged 1 to 34 years died in the United States, of which 31 492 (2%) were due to sudden cardiac death. The estimated incidence of sudden cardiac death is 1.32 per 100 000 individuals and increased with age from 0.49 (1–10 years) to 2.76 (26–34 years). During the study period, incidence of sudden cardiac death declined from 1.48 to 1.13 per 100 000 (P &lt; .001). Mortality reduction was observed across all racial and ethnic groups with a varying magnitude and was highest in children aged 11 to 18 years. Significant disparities were found, with non-Hispanic African American individuals and individuals aged 26 to 34 years having the highest mortality rates. The majority of young children (1–10 years) died of congenital heart disease (n = 1525, 46%), whereas young adults died most commonly from ischemic heart disease (n = 5075, 29%).

CONCLUSIONS:
Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death rates declined 24% from 1999 to 2015. Disparities in mortality exist across age groups and racial and ethnic groups, with non-Hispanic African American individuals having the highest mortality rates.
Підбір умов для препаративного електрофорезу протеїнів сироватки молока у нативних умовах
Authors: Yukalo V.G. , Datsyshyn K.Ye. 
Published: November 2017

Протеїни сироватки молока є попередниками більше сотні біоактивних пептидів. Ці пептиди можуть утворюватися в процесі травлення у шлунково-кишковому тракті, а також за дії протеаз молочнокислих бактерій і молокозгортальних препаратів. Серед них знайдено інгібітори ангіотензин-перетворювального ензиму, пептиди з опіоїдною та бактерицидною дією, імуномодуляторні та гіпохолестеролемічні пептиди, пептиди, які впливають на моторику кишечника, апетит та інші. Біоактивні пептиди з протеїнів сироватки молока становлять значний інтерес для створення функціональних продуктів або продуктів з профілактичними властивостями. Створення таких продуктів передбачає виділення біоактивних пептидів певної біологічної дії. Враховуючи специфіку їх розміщення у первинній структурі доцільним є використання для їх отримання гомогенних протеїнів-попередників з сироватки молока. Одним з методів для одностадійного розділення протеїнів сироватки молока є диск-електрофорез в нативній системі ПААГ для лужних і нейтральних протеїнів. Метою даної роботи було встановити параметри препаративного варіанту диск-електрофорезу для виділення гомогенних протеїнів сироватки молока. Дослідження проводили на модифікованому апараті Стадієра. Протеїни сироватки молока виділяли осадженням казеїнів в ізоелектричній точці. Осад казеїнів відділяли центрифугуванням. Для ідентифікації протеїнів сироватки молока використовували гомогенні фракції α–лактальбуміну(α-LA) і β-лактоглобуліну(β-LG), які отримували шляхом повторної гель-фільтрації на сефадексі G-100(fine). Гомогенність і фракційний склад протеїнів сироватки молока визначали аналітичним диск-електрофорезом у пластинах поліакриламідного гелю. Концентрацію протеїнів у зразках визначали спектрофотометрично (спектрофотометр СФ-46) при довжині хвилі λ = 280 нм.
Отримані результати доводять доцільність використання пластинок ПААГ для препаративного фракціонування протеїнів сироватки молока. Встановлено допустиму тривалість і умови ідентифікації протеїнових фракцій. Показано, що вихід протеїнів у складі гомогенних фракцій становить 69,2%. При цьому співвідношення між кількістю отриманих фракцій (β-LG, α-LA, BSA і ІG) близьке до їх розподілу у сироватці молока.

Published: November 2017

В останні роки на світовому ринку нових технологій харчових продуктів визначилася тенденція до збільшення кількості якісно нових продуктів, які призначені для запобігання різних захворювань, зміцнення захисних сил організму, зниження ризику впливу токсичних сполук і сприятливої екологічної дії. В ринкових умовах харчова промисловість динамічно розвивається за рахунок впровадження нових інтенсивних технологій і випуску на їх основі харчових продуктів оздоровчого та профілактичного напрямку, що забезпечує умови підвищення стану здоров'я населення і створює можливість конкурентноздатного виходу на міжнародний ринок. Тому, використовуючи останні досягнення науки і техніки, створюються нові кисломолочні напої із високими харчовими, дієтичними та лікувально-профілактичними властивостями. Разом з тим, функціональними можуть вважатися тільки ті продукти, які, крім своєї енергетичної цінності, володіють ще й здатністю здійснювати оздоровчий вплив на організм людини. Саме тому об’єктом наших досліджень було вибрано кефір з масовою часткою жиру 2,5%, який містить пшеничні висівки.
В результаті проведених експериментів було встановлено оптимальну дозу пшеничних висівок, яку доцільно вносити в кефір. Здійснено порівняльну характеристику кефіру традиційного і з пшеничними висівками протягом терміну зберігання на основі зміни фізико-хімічних та органолептичних показників. Встановлено, що кефір із пшеничними висівками є лікувально-профілактичним продуктом і може виготовлятися на підприємствах молочної галузі.
