Experience in Measuring Estimates of Russian GDP Dynamics Using Double Deflation Approach
Authors: Staritsyna Е. А. 
Published: February 2024

When constructing estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) and gross value added (GVA) at constant prices, three approaches or a combination of them are used: extrapolation, simple deflation and double deflation. The latter approach is considered preferable, but is not yet used in Russian statistics. The article is devoted to the issues of constructing estimates of GDP and GVA dynamics for the Russian Federation using double deflation. The interest in constructing such estimates is due to the possibility of taking into account the dependence of production on domestic and import supplies, which the other two approaches lack. Received for the period from 2011 to 2016 estimates were compared with official indicators for the overall economy, the service sector, and for mining and manufacturing.From 2011 to 2016 alternative estimates of the physical volume indices of GDP and GVA showed lower growth rates compared to official indicators. This is due to the faster growth of alternative estimates of intermediate consumption compared to official ones. In the structure of intermediate consumption, domestic intermediate products were replacing imported analogues. The current dynamics of indicators, to a first approximation, shows signs of localization of production, which may be associated with the transition of enterprises to domestic outsourcing and the implementation of an import substitution policy.At the same time, the presence of measurement problems in the use of double deflation is obvious, most clearly manifested when moving to the analysis of indicators of lower levels of aggregation. The analysis shows in favor of conducting additional research related to the introduction of the double deflation technique in the official methodology.
Socio-Economic Determinants of Choosing the Month of Child Birth in the Russian Federation: Statistical Analysis

Published: February 2024

The results of a statistical analysis of the factors determining the decisions of families regarding the choice of the month of child birth are presented in the article. A review of the literature shows that a wide range of factors – cultural, biological, climatic and socio-economic – can influence these decisions. In the article, the authors focus on socio-economic determinants. In the Russian Federation, as well as throughout the world, there is a steady seasonality of births: between 2000 and 2022 most children were born in July and August. The article formulates a number of hypotheses regarding possible seasonality determinants, which were tested on the basis of Rosstat data from a sample survey of households «Comprehensive observation of living conditions of the population in 2020» and Rosstat data on registered births by month in Russian regions for 2019–2022. Using unordered multiple choice logit model estimates, cluster analysis and correlation analysis the authors obtained results demonstrating that the choice of summer months for the child birth is determined primarily by household, with the increase of which the birth of a child is more often planned for July. In regions characterized by high rates of quality-of-life indicators, predominantly urban population and a high level of contraceptive use, family preferences in choosing the summer months for child birth are also increasing. The influence of mother's age and education was not identified in the work.The results of the study can be used by the authorities to develop an effective strategy in the field of demographic policy.
The Relationship of the Global Al Index and the Level of Employment: A Cluster Approach in Assessing Cross-Country Differences

Published: February 2024

The article substantiates the problem of measuring and analyzing the «response» of the employment level to the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in the economic and social spheres. The authors propose methods for studying the interdependence of integral and component assessments of the development of artificial intelligence and the level of employment for a set of countries representing different continents and economic groups. An assessment was made based on the first ever Global AI Index (GAII) published by Tortoise Media in 2023 for 62 countries and cluster analysis methods, including differentiation of countries by general level and components of artificial intelligence. The values of AI sub-indices were taken into account, characterizing such components as the presence of a state strategy for the implementation of AI, its commercial basis, use for scientific research and development, the formation of an operating environment, infrastructure development, support for «talents» - intellectual leaders (including institutional ones) in the field of AI. Based on the results of cluster analysis, the Russian Federation’s place in the group of countries characterized by a relatively average overall assessment of the development of artificial intelligence and leading in the implementation of statestrategic programs for the introduction of AI into public life has been established.The results of the analysis and modeling of trends in scatter diagrams constructed for selected clusters of countries show the multidirectionality and ambiguous strength of the existing relationship between the development of artificial intelligence for individual components of the Global Index and the level of employment. At the same time, the existing relationship between the level of employment and the integral assessment of the Global AI Index was assessed as statistically weak for all clusters of countries. Conclusions were drawn about the need to take into account the identified differences in statistical estimates (both by country and by AI components) when predicting the impact of AI on changes in the level and structure of employment.As this topic is filled with statistical research, the conclusions drawn from the results of the study will be deepened and continued by the authors. At the same time, according to the authors, the formulated conclusions, which are preliminary at this stage, indicate the relevance, theoretical and practical significance of the problem of assessing the impact of AI on employment, as well as the ambiguity of its solution in different countries.
Efek Molaritas Aktivator (NaOH) pada Beton Geopolymer dengan Bahan Pengikat Limbah Fly Ash PLTU Lontar
Authors: Bawono Dapit , Muin Resmi Bestari 
Published: February 2024

The average temperature of the earth's surface has increased by 0.74 ± 0.18°C over the past hundred years, caused by 65% carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Of the total CO2 emissions, around 6% come from the cement industry. Geopolymer concrete can be a solution to the problem because it does not use cement as a binder, but uses fly ash and activator materials. This activator material is to activate fly ash to become a binder. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of variations in the molarity of the NaOH activator on the workability, setting time, and compressive strength of geopolymer concrete. This study used fly ash from PLTU Lontar with a ratio of NaOH:NNa2SiO3 of 1:1.5, then the NaOH was varied with concentration levels of 5 Molar, 8 Molar, 11 Molar, and 14 Molar. From this research, it is known that the molarity level of the activator (NaOH) affects the workability (slump value), setting time, and compressive strength of concrete. The higher the molarity level of the activator (NaOH), the lower the workability of the concrete (the slump value decreases), the slower the setting time of the concrete, and the higher the compressive strength of the concrete. The most optimal variation is 14 Molar NaOH geopolymer with a slump value of 15 cm, initial setting time of 90 minutes, final setting time of 203 minutes, and compressive strength at 28 days of 54.60 MPa.

Authors: Juliana Roberta Rufino Luminato  , Márcia Regina Campos Costa da Fonseca  
Published: February 2024

Objetivo: analisar a tendência da mortalidade infantil no Brasil, 2000-2021. Método: Estudo ecológico de série temporal, com dados extraídos do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade e do Sistema de Informação sobre Nascidos Vivos. Foram calculadas as taxas de mortalidade infantil geral, por componentes etários, por regiões e por causas de evitabilidade para todos os anos. Os dados foram analisados por gráficos de controle, definidas as Zonas A (controle - 99,7% dos dados), B (alerta - 95,4% dos dados) e C (central - 68,3% dos dados). As taxas foram analisadas pelos aspectos: uma das taxas acima da linha de controle superior/inferior, pelo menos seis pontos consecutivos crescentes/decrescentes, pelo menos nove pontos consecutivos do mesmo lado (acima/abaixo) da média, dois de três pontos consecutivos em alguma das Zonas A e quatro de cinco pontos consecutivos em alguma das Zonas B/além. Essas alterações indicam aumento ou queda nos pontos dos gráficos e uma tendência. Resultados: De 2000-2021 observou-se tendência de queda das taxas de mortalidade infantil em 1.000 nascidos vivos (21,3-2000;11,9-2021) e componentes etários: neonatal precoce (10,7-2000;6,2-2021, neonatal tardia (2,9-2000;2,1-2021), pós-neonatal (7,7-2000;3,5- 2021), sendo este último, o de maior impacto na queda. Com relação às taxas de mortalidade infantil por região, percebe-se tendência de queda em todas, embora desigualdades regionais ainda subsistam (Norte e Nordeste - maiores taxas). Em relação à tendência das taxas de mortalidade infantil por causas, à “reduzíveis pelas ações de imunização” manteve-se estável, para as demais, tendência decrescente no período. Conclusão: a mortalidade infantil está em queda no Brasil.
Mapping the emergence of the theme of corruption in the area of corporate governance: a bibliometric review of the literature
Authors: Lima Anderson Antônio , Ribeiro Thiago de Luca Santana 
Published: February 2024

Objective: Despite the evident theoretical importance of corporate governance as a mechanism for controlling corrupt practices, as far as we know there are no review articles that relate these themes. In this sense, the objective of this article is to map the emergence and evolution of corruption in the area of corporate governance and present the state of the art and trends in future studies on these topics.
Method: This article is a bibliometric review, it is a statistical analysis method that provides a quantitative understanding of the academic literature on a given scientific field. The bibliometric techniques used are cocotation analysis and bibliographic matching analysis. In other words, we sought to understand the theoretical roots and identify the frontiers of knowledge.
Results: In the co-citation analysis, 4 theoretical clusters (theoretical bases) were identified and in the pairing, 6 theoretical clusters (frontiers of knowledge) were identified. It is clear from the graphic mappings that current research (frontiers) has more congruence between the different themes, while the research that forms the theoretical bases is more idiosyncratic.
Originality/Relevance: As far as we know, this is one of the first articles to store knowledge about corruption in the area of corporate governance and cluster it into theoretical bases and boundaries.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: The pairing analysis identified the following main topics in vogue: Disclosure of sustainability reports; Institutional Theories; Political connections; Corporate Governance Control Mechanisms; National culture; Foreign investments; Organizational performance; Financial paper; Factors determining bribery; and role of national and international regulatory agencies.

Abstract
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a rare condition that can affect the pericardium after every pericardial disease process and has been described even after SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccine. In CP, the affected pericardium, usually the inner layer, is noncompliant, constraining the heart to a fixed maximum volume and impairing the diastolic function. This leads to several clinical features, that, however, can be pleomorphic. In its difficult diagnostic workup, noninvasive multimodal imaging plays a central role, providing important morphological and functional data, like the enhanced ventricular interdependence and the dissociation between intrathoracic and intracardiac pressures. An early and proper diagnosis is crucial to set an appropriate therapy, changing the prognosis of patients affected by CP. In this review, we cover in detail the main elements of each imaging technique, after a reminder of pathophysiology useful for understanding the diagnostic findings.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare cyanotic congenital heart disease and their survival into adulthood is even rarer. Here, we present the case of a 26-year-old female who was incidentally diagnosed with a case of supracardiac TAPVC during her pregnancy. All four pulmonary veins were joining to form a common venous confluence which drained into a left-sided vertical vein which drained into the innominate vein.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) might be associated with cardiac injury as a part of multisystem affection in response to cytokine storms. However, left ventricular (LV) function appears preserved in most of the cases, whereas subtle LV dysfunction might happen in others. Hence, we tried to detect subtle LV dysfunction in patients with COVID-19 using global longitudinal strain (GLS).

Patients and Methods:
We performed a single-center observational study on 90 stable patients who were recently recovered from mild to moderate COVID-19 infections. A transthoracic echocardiographic examination was done for all patients, and GLS assessment was used as an indicator of LV function.

Results:
The population age ranged from 27 to 66 years, and the majority of patients were males (54, 73.3%). Besides, 46.7% of the included patients were smokers, 33.3% had hypertension, and 23.3% were diabetics. All the patients had normal LV internal dimensions and ejection fractions. However, 33.3% of them had subclinical LV dysfunction as expressed by reduced GLS. There was no statistically significant correlation between GLS and age, gender, or other risk factors, whereas troponin and C-reactive protein significantly correlated with GLS.

Conclusions:
Recovered patients from recent mild to moderate COVID-19 infections might show subtle LV dysfunction as manifested by reduced GLS.
Percepții ale studenților din anul I din domeniul silvicultură privind gestionarea pădurilor
Authors: Barbu Cătălina , Scriban Ramona-Elena , Horodnic Sergiu-Andrei 
Published: February 2024

Asigurarea unei gestionări durabile a pădurilor este principiul fundamental al managementului forestier și e adresată la nivel legislativ în România, silvicultorii fiind provocați să răspundă și să se adapteze cerințelor și condițiilor unei societăți moderne, societate aflată într-o continuă evoluție. Astfel, competențele oferite de învățământul superior silvic trebuie în permanentă adaptate pentru a ține pasul cu evoluția societății. Prezentul studiu are drept scop analiza percepțiilor studenților anului I din cadrul Facultății de Silvicultură din Suceava asupra gestionării pădurilor din România. Pentru realizarea studiului s-a folosit metoda anchetei pe bază de chestionar. Studiul a fost realizat pe un eșantion de 252 de studenți (197 băieți și 55 fete) în perioada 2015-2020. 75% dintre respondenți consideră că pădurile României nu sunt gestionate corespunzător, că aceste păduri sunt tăiate abuziv și ilegal (84%) și mult mai mult decât în ​​alte țări europene (75%). În ceea ce privește tăierile de pădure în următorii 10 ani, 56% sunt de părere că acestea ar trebui oprite total în timp ce 23% consideră că mai degrabă nu. Părerile studenților anului I asupra imaginii gestionării pădurilor private sunt împărțite în mod egal. Astfel 34% consideră că imaginea s-a deteriorat, 33% consideră că imaginea s-a îmbunătățit și 33% că a rămas la fel. În cazul gestionării pădurilor de stat procentul celor care cred că situația s-a deteriorat este identic cu al celor care cred că situația a rămas la fel (38%). Doar 24% consideră că situația s-a îmbunătățit. Studiul oferă informații esențiale atât pentru direcțiile de comunicare cu publicul larg și de îmbunătățire a educației forestiere la nivel pre-universitar pentru de-mitizarea unor teme percepute distorsionat față de realitățile datelor statistice existente, dar și asupra direcțiilor de îmbunătățire a curriculei universitare necesar a fi adaptate pentru a adresa cu fundamente științifice preocupările studenților privind problematicile de gestionare a pădurilor naționale.
Un colocviu de succes în lumea Regelui-Soare...
Authors: Nicolescu Valeriu-Norocel 
Published: February 2024

Cronica prezintă cele mai importante rezultate ale colocviului intitulat „Le bois, source de ressource durable - un acteur de la transition” și realizat în cadrul schimburilor existente din anul 2019 între SCNF (Société nationale des chemins de fer français) și Societatea franco-japoneză de tehnici industriale.
Colocviul a inclus conferința propriu-zisă, găzduită la Versailles (23-25 octombrie), precum și două zile pe teren, în regiunea lorenă (nord-estul Franței) (26-27 octombrie).
Gazda colocviului a fost École nationale supérieure de paysage (ENSP), instituție de învățământ superior creată în anul 1976 și care funcționează în spațiile fostei École nationale supérieure d’horticulture, înființată la Versailles în anul 1874.
Manifestarea de la Versailles a urmărit să abordeze problema asigurării și utilizării raționale și durabile a resurselor de lemn, ținând cont și de aspecte legate de biodiversitate și de funcțiile sociale ale pădurilor. În consecință, colocviul și-a propus un schimb de idei intre „actorii” care participă la producerea și transformarea „acestui material cu calități excepționale” și utilizatorii lui finali.
Cele trei zile de conferință s-au desfășurat în trei direcții: (1) Abordarea istorică și socială a pădurilor, (2) Reconcilierea resurselor de lemn cu biodiversitatea și (3) Anticipare, cu numeroase prezentări în legătură cu temele amintite.
Colocviul a continuat cu o deplasare pe teren în zona lorenă a Franței, unde gazda primei zile a vizitei pe teren a fost stațiunea de la Champenoux a Centrului de cercetări Grand Est-Nancy din cadrul INRAe, organismul de cercetare agricolă, alimentară și de mediu, inclusiv forestier, al Franței. Aici ni s-a prezentat activitatea stațiunii, care găzduiește trei unități de cercetare Forestiera, laboratoarele din incinta acesteia, precum și Arboretumul Amance, aflat în proximitate.
În ultima zi, participanții s-au deplasat în Forêt de Haye, un masiv forestier de cca 11.000 ha, din care 6500 ha păduri de stat, situat în apropiere de Nancy. Dintre aspectele cele mai sugestive ale vizitei pe teren se pot aminti (i) posibilitatea exploatării arborilor din rărituri cu ajutorul harvesterelor (combine de exploatări), după însemnarea cu vopsea a exemplarelor de extras și deschiderea culoarelor de acces, (ii) problemele deosebite cu fenomenul de uscare a fagului, mai ales pe soluri foarte superficiale (doar 20-30 cm de orizont mineral), pe fondul absenței de lungă durată a precipitațiilor în decursul sezonului de vegetație, (iii) interesul special acordat speciilor rare și cu lemn prețios gen Sorbus torminalis sau Sorbus domestica în timpul aplicării operațiunilor culturale, specii a căror creștere în grosime este favorizată prin intervenții de sus, urmărind situarea lor în condiții de creștere liberă (fără competiție) la nivelul coroanei.
