Is teenage parenthood associated with early use of disability pension? Evidence from a longitudinal study
Authors: Namatovu Fredinah , Gunfridsson Erling Häggström , Vikström Lotta 
Published: June 2023

Background
Over the past decades the number of young people using disability pensions (DP) has gradually increased in Europe but the reasons for this change are poorly understood. We hypothesize that teenage parenthood could be associated with an increased risk of receiving early DP. The aim of this study was to examine the association between having a first child at age 13–19 and receiving DP at age 20–42 (here called early DP).

Methods
A longitudinal cohort study was undertaken based on national register data obtained from 410,172 individuals born in Sweden in 1968, 1969, and 1970. Teenage mothers and fathers were followed until age 42 and compared to non-teenage parent counterparts to examine their early receipt of DP. Descriptive analysis, Kaplan-Meier curves, and Cox regression analyses were performed.

Results
The proportion of teenage parents was more than twice higher in the group that received early DP (16%) compared to the group that did not receive early DP (6%) during the study duration. A higher proportion of teenage mothers and fathers started to receive DP at 20–42 years old compared to non-teenage parents, and the difference between the two groups increased during the observation period. A strong association was observed between being a teenage parent and receiving early DP, significant both independently and after adjusting for the year of birth and the father’s level of education. From the age of 30 to 42 years, teenage mothers used early DP more often than teenage fathers or non-teenage parents, and this difference also increased during the follow-up period.

Conclusion
A strong association was found between teenage parenthood and the use of DP between 20 and 42 years of age. Teenage mothers used DP more than teenage fathers and non-teenage parents.

Abstract
Curcumin is the most abundant derivative of turmeric rhizome. Although studies have proved that curcumin could inhibit the growth of tumors, its specific molecular mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. This study aims to systematically elaborate the mechanisms of curcumin against hepatocellular carcinoma. The anti-tumor effect of curcumin was determined by the cell viability test. Flow cytometry was applied to examine the cell cycle and the apoptosis of cancer cells, and the cancer cell migration was detected by wound healing experiments. The expressions of signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in cancer cells were examined by immunostaining and analyzed by the Image J analysis system. After treatment with curcumin, the apoptosis ratio of HepG2 cells increased significantly (P < 0.05). The proliferation of cancer cells was arrested at the S-phase cell cycle, and the migration of cancer cells was inhibited by the increasing concentration of curcumin, together with the decreasing expressions of STAT3, VEGF, and HIF-1α signaling pathways. The results indicate that curcumin could effectively inhibit the growth and migration of hepatocarcinoma cells by inducing cancer cell apoptosis, blocking the cancer cell cycle in the S phase, and reducing the expression of STAT3, VEGF, and HIF-1α signaling pathways.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study introduces two new marine microfungal species, Paraloratospora marina (Phaeosphaeriaceae) and Tremateia phragmitis (Didymosphaeriaceae) based on morphological comparisons and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses. They were collected on decaying woody stems of Phragmites australis at Cardiff Bay Nature Reserve in Wales, United Kingdom. Paraloratospora marina sp. nov. is characterized by immersed, globose to subglobose ascomata with a papillate and periphysate ostiole, cylindrical to subcylindrical, thick-walled, sessile to subsessile asci, fusiform, hyaline to pale brown, 3-septate, guttulate ascospores. Tremateia phragmitis sp. nov. is characterized by semi-immersed to immersed, globose ascomata with a protruding periphysate ostiole, clavate, pedicellate, asci and ascospores that are ellipsoidal to broadly fusiform, 4–6 transversely septate, with 1–2 vertical septa, muriform, golden brown to pale brown ascospores. Dichotomopilus funicola and Pseudofusicoccum ardesiacum are recorded for the first time from marine habitats. Furthermore, based on morphological characteristics and multigene phylogenetic analyses, Phaeosphaeria spartinae was transferred to Septoriella.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
An emerging technology (ET) for laboratory medicine can be defined as an analytical method (including biomarkers) or device (software, applications, and algorithms) that by its stage of development, translation into broad routine clinical practice, or geographical adoption and implementation has the potential to add value to clinical diagnostics. Considering the laboratory medicine-specific definition, this document examines eight key tools, encompassing clinical, analytical, operational, and financial aspects, used throughout the life cycle of ET implementation. The tools provide a systematic approach starting with identifying the unmet need or identifying opportunities for improvement (Tool 1), forecasting (Tool 2), technology readiness assessment (Tool 3), health technology assessment (Tool 4), organizational impact map (Tool 5), change management (Tool 6), total pathway to method evaluation checklist (Tool 7), and green procurement (Tool 8). Whilst there are differences in clinical priorities between different settings, the use of this set of tools will help support the overall quality and sustainability of the emerging technology implementation.
An Efficient Discretization Scheme for Solving Nonlinear Ill-Posed Problems
Authors: Rajan M. P. , Jose Jaise 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Information based complexity analysis in computing the solution of various practical problems is of great importance in recent years.
The amount of discrete information required to compute the solution plays an important role in the computational complexity of the problem.
Although this approach has been applied successfully for linear problems, no effort has been made in literature to apply it to nonlinear problems.
This article addresses this problem by considering an efficient discretization scheme to discretize nonlinear ill-posed problems.
We apply the discretization scheme in the context of a simplified Gauss–Newton iterative method and show that our scheme requires only less amount of information for computing the solution.
The convergence analysis and error estimates are derived.
Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the fact that the scheme can be implemented successfully.
The theoretical and numerical study asserts that the scheme can be employed to nonlinear problems.
Polish jakoby: an exotic similative-reportive doughnut? Tracing the pathway and conditions of its rise
Authors: Wiemer Björn 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Of similative origin, Polish jakoby derives from the connective jako ‘how, that’ univerbated with the irrealis enclitic by. From the earliest attested stages (late 14th century) into the 17th century, jakoby was used as a comparison marker and as a subordinator of manner or purpose clauses. The former use has persisted, and the latter was ousted. After the 16th century jakoby further evolved into a reportive marker, as a particle or complementizer. Contrary to what pathways explaining the connection between similative and evidential marking would suggest, jakoby’s now predominant function as a reportive marker was apparently not prepared by inferential use, nor was its complementizer function mediated by a purpose function. Instead, purpose and reportive complementizers belong to different “branches”, both of which can be motivated by an indiscriminate similative-manner function. The evidence in favor of this derives from a systematic evaluation of extant research and a corpus study covering almost the entire period from 1600 to our day. A crucial moment to understanding jakoby’s functional changes is the insight that similatives can acquire propositional scope prior to entering the evidential domain and marking a metonymic relation between speech acts and epistemic attitudes expressed by the former.
Evaluation of Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of High-Temperature Hastelloy X Alloy-Welded Joints Made by Laser Welding Process
Authors: Sathishkumar G. , Sathiya P. , Senthil Murugan S. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The usage of Hastelloy X (HX) is crucial in high-temperature applications, and its joining is needed in industries. When HX is welded using traditional methods, the microsegregation of molybdenum- and chromium-rich components causes the material to crack in the final stage of welding solidification. To overcome this, in this current work, HX alloy specimens were welded by a carbon dioxide laser welding process autogenously, which provides low heat input to prevent carbide phase segregation while maintaining a complete depth of penetration. Laser power, welding speed, and focal length were chosen as input parameters with three levels for each input, and the experiments were conducted following Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array with a suitable combination of the parameters. A structural study was done to analyze weld bead geometry and the microstructure of the weld interface through an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. Elements present at the weld zone were confirmed through energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The mechanical properties of the joints were tested as per ASTM standards. Mechanical results showed that the tensile strength of a joint maintained a level with a slight decrease in weldment compared with the base metal and maintained the same in the impact test as well. Weld joint efficiency was estimated, and it showed a maximum of 93 %. Hardness was increased with a decrease in welding speed at 3,200 W laser power. The grain size of 39.5 μm had a tensile strength of 690 MPa, but the grain size of 59.88 μm had 540 MPa. The grain sizes of the samples and their orientation with austenite were shown by electron backscatter diffraction results.
Interoceptive Awareness of the Breath Preserves Attention and Language Networks amidst Widespread Cortical Deactivation: A Within-Participant Neuroimaging Study
Authors: Farb Norman A. S. , Zuo Zoey , Price Cynthia J. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractInteroception, the representation of the body’s internal state, serves as a foundation for emotion, motivation, and wellbeing. Yet despite its centrality in human experience, the neural mechanisms of interoceptive attention are poorly understood. The Interoceptive/Exteroceptive Attention Task (IEAT) is a novel neuroimaging paradigm that compares behavioral tracking of the respiratory cycle (Active Interoception) to tracking of a visual stimulus (Active Exteroception). Twenty-two healthy participants completed the IEAT during two separate scanning sessions (N = 44) as part of a randomized control trial of mindful awareness in body-oriented therapy (MABT). Compared with Active Exteroception, Active Interoception deactivated somatomotor and prefrontal regions. Greater self-reported interoceptive sensibility (MAIA scale) predicted sparing from deactivation within the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and left-lateralized language regions. The right insula, typically described as a primary interoceptive cortex, was only specifically implicated by its deactivation during an exogenously paced respiration condition (Active Matching) relative to self-paced Active Interoception. Psychophysiological interaction (PPI) analysis characterized Active Interoception as promoting greater ACC connectivity with lateral prefrontal and parietal regions commonly referred to as the dorsal attention network (DAN). In contrast to evidence relating accurate detection of liminal interoceptive signals such as the heartbeat to anterior insula activity, interoceptive attention toward salient signals such as the respiratory cycle may involve reduced cortical activity but greater ACC-DAN connectivity, with greater sensibility linked to reduced deactivation within the ACC and language-processing regions.
Tax Confidentiality as a Limitation in the Procedure for Public Control of the State of Public Finances
Authors: Tomaszewska Katarzyna 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Any control, regardless of the field to which it relates, requires information. This claim is also valid in the field of citizen’s control. For an individual to be able to effectively assess what is going on around him or her and make sound decisions on that basis, he or she must be able to obtain a variety of information, including, above all, information that is comprehensive public knowledge. According to what follows from the regulations of the Act of 6 September 2001 on access to public information, their catalogue is broad and, more importantly, open. Although on the surface it might seem that the individual does not need anything more, it should not be forgotten that the same legislator determines a number of restrictions that block or completely close the way to certain pieces of public information. This group of statutory restrictions includes tax confidentiality as defined by the Tax Ordinance Act of 29 August 1997. The main objective of the considerations undertaken in this article is to determine to what extent tax confidentiality by its very nature restricts the process of public scrutiny of the state of public finances, taking into account its subjective and objective scope and its positioning among all the premises limiting accessibility to public knowledge.
New Technologies in the Control of Public Finances and Building Public Confidence in the State
Authors: Zalcewicz Anna 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article addresses the directions of change in the area of control of the collection and distribution of public funds, in the context of the possibility of using new technologies, with a view to compliance with the legal standards of a democratic law-governed state and the challenges facing law-makers in properly legislating the use of AI. Issues related to the risks and threats posed by the implementation of new technologies in the public sector regarding technical (e.g. algorithmic bias) and legal (e.g. inadequate regulation of the possibility of using technology by a public administration) aspects are raised, bearing in mind that incorrect regulation of these issues is not without impact on trust in the state and ensuring the protection of democratic values. Analysing the issues related to the implementation of technological solutions to control public finances, it also indicates new areas for control in the public sector, for example the control of algorithm-based applications.
Critical Remarks on the Statutory Model of Customs and Revenue Control
Authors: Gorgol Andrzej 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The National Revenue Administration should be equipped with procedural instruments so that it can carry out public tasks within the statutory competence of its bodies in a rational, efficient and effective manner. The founding of this new organisational structure was coupled with significant changes to the separate procedures hitherto used by the customs, tax and revenue control administrations subordinate to the Minister of Finance. Customs and revenue control is a new legislative concept, the design of which is based on the fundamental premise of unifying control proceedings. The Act on the National Revenue Administration reflects the organisational and procedural effects of the 2017 reform. An analysis of its provisions makes it possible to determine what model of customs and revenue control has been implemented in Poland. The unification and codification of the rules governing this procedure were neither complete nor free of the flaws of the earlier regulations. Not only have the errors of customs control and revenue control not been eliminated, but also new, highly controversial shortcomings have emerged. This study aims to demonstrate the truth of the thesis that both the customs and fiscal control model and its regulation by statutory provisions contain questionable solutions.
Legal Instruments for Control of Expenditure from the EU Budget in the Light of EU and Polish Law
Authors: Fedorowicz Magdalena K. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study reflects on the control of expenditure made from the EU budget through instruments regulated by EU and Polish financial law, and in a broader sense also on the protection of the EU’s financial interests on the expenditure side. The purpose is to present and engage in a dogmatic-legal analysis of the EU-national normative benchmark for the control of EU budget expenditure and to answer the question of its normative-axiological content, rightly taking into account the principle of the rule of law as the basic determinant of the performed control of EU budget expenditure, in accordance with the CJEU judgment C 157/21. It may justifiably be argued that the normative model of control of expenditure from the EU budget is a normative-axiological model shared by the EU and its Member States. It is hybrid in that it consists of a number of mechanisms and institutions (in the substantive sense) that are functionally interconnected. Effective implementation of the criteria of this normative benchmark (substantive, instrumental, procedural and axiological) presupposes functional links between EU and Polish regulations for the application of principles not only from Articles 317 and 325 TFEU, but also values and principles from Article 2 TEU.
Recurrent Property Tax Control in the Czech Republic
Authors: Radvan Michal , Svobodová Tereza 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The aim of this article is to investigate the possibilities for tax offices in the Czech Republic to control recurrent property tax returns and the data contained therein. The hypothesis that the recurrent property tax control in the Czech Republic is unproblematic and that there is no need for any amendments in related tax law regulation has been mostly confirmed. However, there are still several minor issues (e.g. the renewal of cadastral records) where amendments to the existing legal regulation would be helpful There are also other much more problematic issues in the property tax regulation to be improved. The role of the immovable property tax in the Czech Republic is mostly marginal; the revenue is very low. The paper follows the IMRaD structure; in the research part, we firstly summarise recurrent property tax regulation de lege lata from the theoretical perspective. Secondly, we describe existing practical problems of recurrent property tax control as these problematic issues have been identified from structured interviews with tax office clerks. In the discussion, we critically analyse substantive and procedural tax law concerning the recurrent property tax with regard to controls carried out by the tax office, combining the theoretical background with practical experience. Synthesising the knowledge gained, we identify the strengths and weaknesses of de lege lata regulation and suggest amendments de lege ferenda.

Objective. To investigate the effectiveness of the application of hardware myofascial release with thermal influence and longitudinal traction in patients with dorsal pain, caused by spine degenerative diseases. Methods. A prospective study of the results of treatment of 297 patients with dorsal pain, caused by spine degenerative diseases. All patients were divided into 3 groups: D (158) — dorsal pain; DIK (31) — dorsal pain with irradiation in the lower limb; DIS (108) — dorsal pain with irradiation in the buttock. The comparison group consisted of 43 volunteer athletes. With the help of the Nuga Best N5 device, all participants underwent a course of treatment (10 sessions within two weeks, thermal influence — 45‒60 °C, depending on the comfort of the patient). Before and after treatment, patients were examined according to the visual analog scale (VAS), the Oswestry questionnaire, volunteers — according to the Oswestry scale. Statistical analysis was performed. The results. In patients of group D, after treatment, the Josw index decreased from 37.1 (24; 51) % to 9.1 (2; 14) % (QV, p < 0.01), VAS — from 29.6 (20; 40) mm to 11.2 (10; 10) mm (KV, p < 0.01). In the DIK group, a decrease in the Josw index was determined from 24.7 (12; 34) % to 7.3 (2; 13) % (QV, p < 0.01), VAS — from 41.9 (20; 60) mm to 14.7 (10; 20) mm (KV, p < 0.01). In the patients of the DIS group, after treatment, the Josw index decreased from 30.5 (18; 41) % to 8.2 (2; 11) % (QV, p < 0.01), VAS — from 24.9 (20; 30) mm to 11.3 (10; 10) mm (KV, p < 0.01). In the group of volunteers, the Josw index decreased from 5.9 (2; 4) % to 3.0 (2; 2) % (QV, p < 0.01), VAS — from 12.6 (10; 10) mm to 2.1 (0; 0) mm (KV, p < 0.01). Conclusions. The hardware myofascial release with thermal influence and longitudinal traction significantly reduces pain caused by tendopathies and muscle structural-functional disorders, improves the quality of life in patients with back pain caused by spine degenerative diseases. In practically healthy people, this method of treatment can be used to restore working capacity, get rid of muscle pain after physical exertion.
