Lessons for the central banks: Inflation in 2021–2023
Authors: Шибанов О.К. 
Published: April 2024

Инфляция в мире в 2021–2023 гг. оказалась неожиданно высокой — это самый серьезный эпизод глобального роста цен с нефтяных шоков 1970-х годов. В ответ на это центральные банки постепенно повышали ставки, и к концу 2023 г. инфляция существенно затормозилась. Но центральным банкам пришлось признать, что было сделано несколько ошибок, в том числе со слишком поздним стартом роста ставок (ФРС и ЕЦБ — только с весны 2022 г.), неточными моделями оценки инфляции и слишком большими опасениями по поводу потенциальной рецессии. В статье обсуждаются вопросы вклада спроса и предложения в инфляцию США, Европы и России, оценивается скорость реакции центрального банка на повышенный рост цен и предлагается несколько выводов для центральных банков. Главные задачи на будущее — применять более широкие ансамбли моделей, более оперативно реагировать на инфляционные процессы и не игнорировать исторических данных, которые могут казаться слишком устаревшими.
The world inflation in 2021–2023 was unexpectedly high — and that was the most serious global inflation episode after the oil shock of 1970th. The response of the Central banks (CB) was to increase interest rates, and by the end of 2023 inflation has hampered. Yet CBs had to accept that they made a number of errors — namely, too late start of the rate rising (in the US and EU — from the Spring of 2022), inaccurate inflation modelling, and too strong expectations of possible recession. I show how the literature thinks about the contribution of supply and demand factors into inflation in the US, EU and Russia. The speed of CB reaction to higher price increase is estimated, several steps for the CBs are valuated. The main ones — use more distinct models, react fast to the inflation processes, and do not ignore historic data that might seem outdated.

Published: April 2024

Целью работы является определение влияния социального капитала членов советов директоров, формирующегося за счет различных типов связей, на устойчивость компаний к экзогенным шокам. Рассмотрены три типа связи: профессиональные, международные и политические. Используя данные крупнейших нефинансовых компаний России, включенных в индекс широкого рынка Московской биржи с 2007 по 2020 г., была проанализирована роль социального капитала в обеспечении устойчивости в периоды трех шоков: мирового финансового кризиса 2008–2009 гг., сырьевого кризиса и введения санкций в 2014–2015 гг. и кризиса, вызванного пандемией COVID-19 в 2020 г. Результаты оценивания методом наименьших квадратов моделей с фиксированными эффектами свидетельствуют о различном влиянии рассматриваемых связей в периоды кризисов на устойчивость компаний, определяемую как стандартное отклонение рентабельности активов. Результаты свидетельствуют об устойчивом негативном влиянии рассматриваемых кризисов, кроме кризиса, вызванного пандемией COVID-19. Социальный капитал членов совета директоров по-разному влиял на устойчивость компаний в периоды данных кризисов. Профессиональные связи ослабляли влияние мирового финансового кризиса. Политические и профессиональные связи усиливали негативный эффект кризиса 2014–2015 гг. Таким образом, в данном вопросе важную роль играет природа кризиса.
The main goal of this paper is to determine the impact of boards of directors’ social capital on the companies’ resilience to exogenous shocks. The study explores social capital formed by various types of connections: professional, international, and political. The data of the largest non-financial companies in Russia, which shares were included in the Moscow Exchange Broad Market Index, covers the period from 2007 to 2020. It allows analyzing the global financial crisis of 2008–2009, the commodity crisis and sanctions in 2014–2015, and the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The empirical results of least-squares estimation of fixed-effects models show the different influences on the companies’ resilience of the considered connections during the crises. The results show a persistent negative impact of these crises, except the one caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The social capital of board members has a different influence on the companies’ resilience during these crises. Professional ties decreased the negative effect during the global financial crisis. Professional and political connections strengthened the negative impact on companies’ resilience during 2014–2015. Thus, the nature of the crisis plays an important role.

Konsep Nusyuz dalam Khi dan Penyelesainya Prespektif Mubadalah
Authors: Azizah Jamilatul Nuril 
Published: April 2024

Dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam, pengertian nusyuz secara eksklusif mengatur tentang nusyuz yang dilakukan oleh istri. Kompilasi Hukum Islam yang menganut hukum nusyuz tetap berpijak pada fikih patriarki yang berlandaskan pada ajaran agama yang mendasar. Dari segi metodologi, KHI tetap menyerupai gagasan para peneliti sebelumnya. Perspektif dan konteks umat Islam Indonesia belum tertanam secara baik dalam rumusan perundang-undangan KHI. Kandungan materiilnya, sebagai hukum positif di Indonesia, adalah keabsahan fiqh yang memberikan kedudukan tersendiri bagi perempuan. Kajian penelitian dilakukan melalui pendekatan konseptual (conceptual appoarch). Disamping itu penelitian ini juga menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach). Al-Qur'an memperlakukan nusyuz dari dua sudut pandang, sehingga menjadikannya sebagai penghujatan dalam kaitannya dengan nusyuz. Dengan kata lain, nusyuz itu ada dua macam: satu dari istri (QS. an-Nisa [4]: ​​34) dan satu lagi dari suami (QS. an-Nisa [4]: ​​128). Cara apapun (mauizhatul hasanah, hajrun, dhorbun, islah, ihsan, taqwa) dapat digunakan untuk menyelesaikan masalah tersebut.
One Course, Two Approaches:
Authors: Anderson Roger 
Published: April 2024

International Teaching Assistants (ITA’s) are critical to North American campuses. While studies have explored their experiences in through ITA training courses, research has overlooked the experiences of ITA educators. A multiple case study examined three ITA educators’ ideologies, gathering data from two interviews -one stimulated recall using classroom observations fieldnotes, syllabi, assignments, and feedback. Two incompatible sets of ideologies were found being implemented: one oriented learners to undergraduate classrooms, and one towards required language testing. Employment frustrations and cynicism impacted each instructor. Findings highlight the ethical complexities of language teaching. Programs must scrutinize the role of language testing within ITA training and examination support available to ITA educators. This novel study, focusing on the often-overlooked ITA educator, situated their ideologies adjacent to their identities, and using methodological innovations. Future work is needed to elucidate how ITA educators’ identities and ideologies impact ITA’s learning experience and academic or professional trajectories.
“Self-Fashioning”
Authors: Huang Ting , Khan Shadeed 
Published: April 2024

Research on international students' integration into Western campuses tends to find that female international students may experience more difficulty in adjusting to new cultures than their male counterparts (Contreras-Aguirre & Gonzalez, 2017; Manese et al., 1988; Mallinckrodt & Leong, 1992). Few researchers have delved into what female Chinese international students have to offer. Using a phenomenological study frame and a critical and interpretative lens to conduct detailed interviews, this study explored how a group of Chinese female international students self-fashioned during these experiences navigating the U.S. study. Three major themes emerged in our female Chinese international students’ stories: their “self-fashioning” helps them (1) sophistically navigate the U.S. system better, (2) tactically fit into the new U.S. society, and (3) adaptively create more genuine personal identities. Implications were discussed at the end of this study.

Random Forest is an ensemble classifier in a machine-learning algorithm. The ensemble classifier aimed to improve model accuracy and classification performance. Based on accuracy measures, Random Forest shows the best performance with existing ensemble classifiers like Support Vector Machine (SVM) and AdaBoost. Hence, this research will classify Human Development Index in Kalimantan using a Random Forest classifier. The predictor variables of classification are the average length of schooling, adjusted per capita additions, life expectancy, and length of school expectations. The Random Forest showed that the number of trees selected was 500 and the m being tried was 2. Adjusted per capita additions were the most influential variable in the increase of The Human Development Index with an importance of 10,61%. The Accuracy of classification was 58,33%.

Published: April 2024

Human population is growing every day, and their diets often contain far less protein per day than is advised. The poultry business has faced difficulties, particularly in the tropics and in developing countries, due to the shortage and high price of poultry feeds, which make up 60–80 percent of the total cost of poultry products. This reflects both the relatively low cost and the customer’s need for these high-quality and secure items. Eggs are one of the high food’s proteins. One of the advantages of egg protein compared to other animal protein its high digestibility, meaning every gram protein that enters will be digested in the body perfectly. A typical strategy to prevent these negative effects is to increase the intrinsic antioxidant content by the dietary insertion of natural antioxidants, such as feed fortification with a combination of moringa leaves and turmeric leaves. Nowadays, Moringa oleifera has mostly been employed on farm animals to improve their well-being and productivity. Because moringa leaves have well-established health benefits, they are frequently utilized as functional ingredients in chicken feed., the production of eggs that were higher in carotene and lower in cholesterol than the control eggs due to favourable impacts on the health of the hens and the quality of their eggs Turmeric, a plant with several medicinal use, belongs to the Zingiberaceae family and is known under the name Curcuma. Numerous research has documented the medicinal benefits of turmeric, notably its antioxidant properties. This review's objective was to analyse the antioxidant activity and cholesterol-lowering effects of functional eggs made with fortified moringa leaves and turmeric.

IntroductionMechanical stress and strain conditions play an important role in atherosclerosis plaque progression, remodeling and potential rupture and may be used in plaque vulnerability assessment for better clinical diagnosis and treatment decisions. Single layer plaque models without residual stress have been widely used due to unavailability of multi-layer image segmentation method and residual stress data. However, vessel layered structure and residual stress have large impact on stress/strain calculations and should be included in the models.MethodsIn this study, intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) data of coronary plaques from 10 patients were acquired and segmented to obtain the three-layer vessel structure using an in-house automatic segmentation algorithm. Multi- and single-layer 3D thin-slice biomechanical plaque models with and without residual stress were constructed to assess the impact of residual stress on stress/strain calculations.ResultsOur results showed that residual stress led to a more uniform stress distribution across the vessel wall, with considerable plaque stress/strain decrease on inner wall and increase on vessel out-wall. Multi-layer model with residual stress inclusion reduced inner wall maximum and mean plaque stresses by 38.57% and 59.70%, and increased out-wall maximum and mean plaque stresses by 572.84% and 432.03%.ConclusionThese findings demonstrated the importance of multi-layer modeling with residual stress for more accurate plaque stress/strain calculations, which will have great impact in plaque cap stress calculation and plaque rupture risk assessment. Further large-scale studies are needed to validate our findings.

Published: April 2024

IntroductionSolid cancers Myeloid cells are prevalent in solid cancers, but they frequently exhibit an anti-inflammatory pro-tumor phenotype that contribute to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which hinders the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies. Myeloid cells’ natural ability of tumor trafficking makes engineered myeloid cell therapy an intriguing approach to tackle the challenges posed by solid cancers, including tumor infiltration, tumor cell heterogenicity and the immunosuppressive TME. One such engineering approach is to target the checkpoint molecule PD-L1, which is often upregulated by solid cancers to evade immune responses.MethodHere we devised an adoptive cell therapy strategy based on myeloid cells expressing a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-like immune receptor (CARIR). The extracellular domain of CARIR is derived from the natural inhibitory receptor PD-1, while the intracellular domain(s) are derived from CD40 and/or CD3ζ. To assess the efficacy of CARIR-engineered myeloid cells, we conducted proof-of-principle experiments using co-culture and flow cytometry-based phagocytosis assays in vitro. Additionally, we employed a fully immune-competent syngeneic tumor mouse model to evaluate the strategy’s effectiveness in vivo.ResultCo-culturing CARIR-expressing human monocytic THP-1 cells with PD-L1 expressing target cells lead to upregulation of the costimulatory molecule CD86 along with expression of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-1α and IL-1β. Moreover, CARIR expression significantly enhanced phagocytosis of multiple PD-L1 expressing cancer cell lines in vitro. Similar outcomes were observed with CARIR-expressing human primary macrophages. In experiments conducted in syngeneic BALB/c mice bearing 4T1 mammary tumors, infusing murine myeloid cells that express a murine version of CARIR significantly slowed tumor growth and prolonged survival.ConclusionTaken together, these results demonstrate that adoptive transfer of PD-1 CARIR-engineered myeloid cells represents a promising strategy for treating PD-L1 positive solid cancers.

IntroductionPulmonary vascular dysfunction during severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) may lead to right ventricle (RV) dysfunction and acute cor pulmonale (ACP). The occurrence/persistence of ACP despite conventional extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a challenging situation. We explored the usefulness of a specific dual-lumen cannula that bypasses the RV, and on which a veno-pulmonary arterial assist (V-P ECMO) was mounted, in ARDS patients.MethodsWe report a case-series of ARDS patients put on conventional veno-arterial or veno-venous ECMO and presented refractory ACP as an indication for a reconfiguration to V-P ECMO using the ProtekDuo cannula. The primary endpoint was the mitigation of RV and pulmonary vascular dysfunction as assessed by the change in end-diastolic RV/left ventricle (LV) surface ratio.ResultsSix patients had their conventional ECMO reconfigured to V-P ECMO to treat refractory ACP. There was a decrease in end-diastolic RV/LV surface ratio, as well as end-systolic LV eccentricity index, and lactatemia immediately after V-P ECMO initiation. The resolution of refractory ACP was immediately achieved in four of our six (66%) patients. The V-P ECMO was weaned after a median of 26 [8–93] days after implantation. All but one patient were discharged home. We detected one case of severe hemolysis with V-P ECMO and two suspected cases of right-sided infective endocarditis.ConclusionV-P ECMO is useful to mitigate RV overload and to improve hemodynamics in case of refractory ACP despite conventional ECMO.

Purpose:Cystatin C (CysC), beyond its biomarker role of renal function, has been implicated in various physical and pathological activities. However, the impact of serum CysC on cancer mortality in a general population remains unknown. We aimed to examine the associations of serum CysC concentrations with total mortality and mortality of 12 site-specific cancers.Methods:We included 241,008 participants of the UK Biobank cohort with CysC measurements who had normal creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rates and were free of cancer and renal diseases at baseline (2006–2010). Death information was obtained from the National Health Service death records through 28 February 2021. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to compute hazard ratios (HR) per one standard deviation increase in log-transformed CysC concentrations and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for mortality.Results:Over a median follow-up of 12.1 (interquartile range, 11.3–12.8) years, 5,744 cancer deaths occurred. We observed a positive association between serum CysC concentrations and total cancer mortality (HR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.12–1.20). Specifically, participants with higher serum CysC concentrations had increased mortality due to lung cancer (HR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.05–1.20), blood cancer (HR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.16–1.44), brain cancer (HR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.04–1.36), esophageal cancer (HR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.05–1.37), breast cancer (HR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.03–1.36), and liver cancer (HR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.31–1.69).Conclusion:Our findings indicate that higher CysC concentrations are associated with increased mortality due to lung, blood, brain, esophageal, breast, and liver cancers. Future studies are necessary to clarify underlying mechanisms.

BackgroundPost-stroke aphasia (PSA) is one of the most devastating symptoms after stroke, yet limited treatment options are available. Prolonged intermittent theta burst stimulation (piTBS) is a promising therapy for PSA. However, its efficacy remains unclear. Therefore, we aim to investigate the efficacy of piTBS over the left supplementary motor area (SMA) in improving language function for PSA patients and further explore the mechanism of language recovery.MethodsThis is a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled trial. A total of 30 PSA patients will be randomly allocated to receive either piTBS stimulation or sham stimulation for 15 sessions over a period of 3 weeks. The primary outcome is the Western Aphasia Battery Revised (WAB-R) changes after treatment. The secondary outcomes include The Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale (SAQOL-39 g), resting-state electroencephalogram (resting-state EEG), Event-related potentials (ERP), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These outcome measures are assessed before treatment, after treatment, and at 4-weeks follow up. This study was registered in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (No. ChiCTR23000203238).DiscussionThis study protocol is promising for improving language in PSA patients. Resting-state EEG, ERP, and blood examination can be used to explore the neural mechanisms of PSA treatment with piTBS.Clinical trial registrationhttps://www.chictr.org.cn/index.html, ChiCTR2300074533.
