The Unruly World of Tax: A Proposal for an International Tax Cooperation Forum
Authors: Rosenbloom H. David , Noked Noam , Helal Mohamed S. 
Published: May 2022

International cooperation in tax policy is deeply fractured. Inconsistencies, loopholes, and ineffective mechanisms—which could be avoided if real collaboration among countries existed—have created significant inefficiency losses for decades. This Article focuses on the institutional infrastructure underlying international cooperation in tax issues and argues that the current forums in which such cooperation is encouraged do not provide an adequate platform in which countries with similar interests can effectively make a collaborative effort. To facilitate cooperation, this Article proposes to create a new institution currently missing from the international tax policy-setting arena: an informal forum for coordination among countries that share similar interests in tax policy, inspired by the model of “Like Minded Groups” in international organizations. This forum will enable countries that share similar interests to cooperate and reach understandings about necessary policy adaptations. We identify two major projects that this forum could promote—efforts to curtail tax evasion and efforts to harmonize various aspects of tax policy. We argue that this model might have significant advantages in promoting cooperation, reducing the “competitiveness” threat, advocating coordinated policies, and overcoming external and domestic pressures. In light of the current challenges in the field of tax policy, and the difficulties in forming international cooperation within the current institutional framework, the proposed model is worth serious discussion and consideration.

Introduction: Pain is experienced by most patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and has a severe impact on their quality of life. Its management still presents a challenge. Adalimumab, a TNF-a antagonist, has shown promising results in HS-related pain reduction.
Objectives: To aggregate and synthesize all existing evidence regarding the effect of adalimumab on HS-associated skin pain.
Methods: We identified original controlled and uncontrolled studies with participants receiving adalimumab, which included change in pain score post-treatment comparing to baseline as an endpoint. We searched MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. The primary endpoint of our study was mean change (continuous variable) of pain scores at week 12 comparing to baseline.
Results: We performed a meta-analysis of four randomized controlled trials (282 patients in the intervention group and 266 patients in the control group). Adalimumab brought about a 0.418 reduction in mean pain score at its worst with 95%CI [-0.588, -0.248] and p = 0.000 at 12 weeks after treatment commencement. Four more studies were included in a qualitative synthesis, two of which reported statistically significant reduction in pain scores at week 12. Conclusions: Adalimumab could be prescribed more readily in cases of hidradenitis associated with significant skin pain.
Unified system describing factors related to the eradication of an alien plant species
Authors: Galera Halina , Rudak Agnieszka , Wódkiewicz Maciej 
Published: May 2022

Background
In the field of biological invasions science, a problem of many overlapping terms arose among eradication assessment frameworks. Additionally there is a need to construct a universally applicable eradication evaluation system. To unify the terminology and propose an eradication feasibility assessment scale we created the Unified System for assessing Eradication Feasibility (USEF) as a complex tool of factors for the analysis of eradications of alien (both invasive and candidate) plant species. It compiles 24 factors related to eradication success probability reported earlier in the literature and arranges them in a hierarchical system (context/group/factor/component) with a possibility to score their influence on eradication success.

Methodology
After a literature survey we analyzed, rearranged and defined each factor giving it an intuitive name along with the list of its synonyms and similar and/or related terms from the literature. Each factor influencing eradication feasibility is ascribed into one of four groups depending on the context that best matches the factor: location context (size and location of infestation, ease of access), species context (fitness and fecundity, detectability), human context (knowledge, cognition and resources to act) and reinvasion context (invasion pathways). We also devised a simple ordinal scale to assess each factor’s influence on eradication feasibility.

Conclusions
The system may be used to report and analyze eradication campaign data in order to (i) prioritize alien species for eradication, (ii) create the strategy for controlling invasive plants, (iii) compare efficiency of different eradication actions, (iv) find gaps in knowledge disabling a sound eradication campaign assessment. The main advantage of using our system is unification of reporting eradication experience data used by researchers performing different eradication actions in different systems.

Two field experiments were conducted at the village of Khaled Ibn El-waleed, Sahl El-Hossinia Agricultural Research Station, El-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, during the two summer seasons 2019 and 2020 to estimate the effect of NPK nano-fertilizers, bio-fertilizers and humic acid (in addition to different doses of mineral fertilizers) on soil chemical properties and productivity of soybean in saline soil. The treatments were NPK-chitosan, NPK-Ca, humic acid, biofertilzer and control (mineral NPK only). In the two seasons, the experiment design was a split plot in three replicates.
The results indicated a slight decrease in soil pH, while there was a significant decrease in EC values in all the studied treatments as compared to control. Also, the soil available macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) and micronutrients (iron, manganese and zinc) were significantly increased after application of the studied treatments as compared to control. Also, there was a significant increase in the content of macro and micronutrients in soybean grains as affected by the studied treatments. This may be attributed to that addition of the used amendments like nano chitosan, humic acid and biofertilizers companied by decomposition of organic materials released acids that reduced soil pH which caused nutrients to be more soluble hence more available for plant uptake. The results indicated also a significant increase in the soybean yield parameters as plant height, weight of seeds and weight of pods in all treatments as compared to control. There was also a significant increase in the soybean content of protein, oil and chlorophyll in all of the investigated treatments as compared to control.

Published: May 2022

This paper aims to study the variability of foE during two solar cycles 21 (SC21) and 22 (SC22) at Ouagadougou station (lat = 12.4°N, long = 358.5°E, local time (LT) = universal time (UT)), to give visibility on the behavior of foE in this station. We used International Reference Ionosphere (IRI-2016) to collect data from five (5) quiet days of each characteristic month of each season. This study reveals that in this station located at the ionospheric equator, the variability of foE follows the evolution of the sun intensity during the day. There is a correlation between foE and the solar cycle phase, the season, and the time of day. During the day [0500 LT-1900LT], the foE profile does not show a winter anomaly, contrary to what is observed in the F2 layer at the minimum and maximum SC21 and SC22. On the other hand, a nocturnal winter anomaly was observed related to that observed in the F2 layer in the same periods. The study of foE at the Ouagadougou station will allow ionospheric physicists to have visibility on the seasonal variability of foE in this station.

Published: May 2022

AbstractDespite the significant advancements of developing upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for high performance biosensing and bioimaging, the development of DNA‐functionalized UCNPs with thin coatings, efficient surface passivation, and fully functional DNAs for hybridization sensing in biological media remains extremely challenging. Here, a straightforward concept of labeling DNA to a thin polysulfonate polymer layer on UCNPs is presented. Both UCNPs and DNA preserve their full functionality as demonstrated by Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) hybridization assays with a Cy3‐conjugated complementary DNA. The important bioanalytical benefits of the UCNP‐DNA nanohybrids are demonstrated by their implementation into rapid and wash‐free microRNA hybridization FRET assays. Using a simple fiber‐coupled USB‐spectrometer and 980 nm diode laser excitation in a 96‐well microplate, ratiometric FRET from UCNP‐to‐Cy3 can quantify miR20a in a 0.01–10 × 10−9 m concentration range with a detection limit of 30 × 10−12 m (4.5 fmol of miR20a), which is more than 20‐fold lower compared to quantum dot‐based FRET assays. The functional thin‐coating DNA‐UCNP nanohybrids have a strong potential for translating UCNPs into advanced DNA‐based biosensing, bioimaging, and high‐throughput and point‐of‐care clinical diagnostics.

Published: May 2022

AbstractDespite rapid advances in the field of organic solar cells (OSCs), high‐performance large‐scale OSC modules are limited. In this study, it is found that the non‐Newtonian fluid feature of conjugated polymer primarily causes the wedge‐shaped mass (donor and/or acceptor component)/phase distribution of blends in large‐scale blade coating, which results in the lower module efficiency. To address the critical issue in printing manufacturing, a reversible and sequential layer‐by‐layer (RS‐LBL) deposition method with sequential twice forward/reverse blade‐coating of polymer donor and forward blade‐coating of Y6 acceptor, is developed for precisely controlling fluid mechanics of PM6:Y6 active layer. Through using the RS‐LBL strategy, uniform morphology and favorable phase separation and crystallization are obtained in the 10 × 10 cm2 active layer. As a result, the RS‐LBL‐based OSCs show excellent operational stability, and an outstanding PCE of 13.47% is achieved with significantly suppressed charge recombination losses in the 36 cm2 large‐area OSC module, which represents the highest efficiency of binary solar modules with the area over 30 cm2. This study provides a feasible route for the next generation of high‐performance large‐area OSCs and OSC modules.

Published: May 2022

AbstractOcean wave energy is a promising green energy source, but it is difficult to exploit on a large scale due to its low frequency and the random uncertainty of its direction. In this study, a spherical eccentric structured triboelectric nanogenerator (Se‐TENG) is designed to harvest omnidirectional low‐frequency water wave energy. Power management circuits (PMM) are designed to optimize the utilization of water wave energy at low frequencies for large‐scale conversion and storage. It is found that the output performance of the Se‐TENG device is influenced by the frequency of the water waves, with the best output performance at a water wave frequency of 2.0 Hz, given that the wave amplitude is 9 cm. It is verified that within the Se‐TENG, the parallel connections of eccentric structured triboelectric nanogenerators (E‐TENGs) are more conducive to energy storage and conversion. In addition, the Se‐TENG used in conjunction with an energy storage device is able to successfully power light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) and digital thermometers, demonstrating its ability to harvest low‐frequency water wave energy in random directions. The unique structure of the Se‐TENG offers an innovative and effective way of gathering blue energy on a large scale.

Published: May 2022

AbstractBiomolecular detection is crucially significant for the medical and healthcare industries. The plasmonic metasurface is one of the ideal sensors that can be utilized for biomolecular detection. However, how to realize the more cost‐effective fabrication of plasmonic metasurfaces has always been a research hotspot. Herein, one combines nanoimprint lithography, electrodeposition, and nanotransfer printing to fabricate the electrodeposition template with nanoscale resolution. Centimeter‐scale plasmonic metasurfaces with uniform hexagonal gold nanopillar arrays are successfully fabricated via utilizing the electrodeposition template within several minutes. The plasmonic metasurfaces exhibit comparable performance with other reported metasurfaces fabricated through conventional approaches in refractometric sensing and immunoglobulin G (IgG) biomolecular detection. The electrodeposition template can be reused more than ten times, and the performance of successive plasmonic metasurfaces fabricated using the same template is highly consistent. Moreover, the novel fabrication of flexible metasurfaces may also be of interest to many other practical applications such as structural color, surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and fluorescence enhancement.

Published: May 2022

AbstractRecent technological innovations in wearable electronics offer possibilities to perform real‐time monitoring of electrophysiological parameters, such as ECG, EMG, and EEG. To achieve accurate and long‐term electrophysiological measurement, great signs of progress have been made in the skin–electrode interfacial problems; nevertheless, the challenges related to sweat have not been fully resolved. Excessive sweat between human skin and the electrode usually fails to achieve a conformal and intact contact, and the nonconductive barriers will lead to a high skin–electrode impedance. Inspired by the structure of liquid directional movement in nature, a Janus gold nanowires/nitrocellulose (AuNWs/NC) electrophysiological electrode with conical micropores is developed to solve interfacial problems caused by sweat. The Janus AuNWs/NC electrodes spontaneously wick sweat from the AuNW side to the NC side, thus keeping intimate skin–electrode contact and low interfacial impedance to ensure a high‐fidelity signal during the long‐term monitoring. By integrating Janus AuNWs/NC electrode with circuit modules and advanced algorithms, a real‐time visualization system is developed for muscle activity intensity. This system is applied to precisely evaluate the muscle controllability and assess the muscle balance ability, which presents great potentials for health monitoring, sports training, and the areas of human–computer interaction.

AbstractX‐ray detectors are used widely, but they suffer from short operational stability and insufficient absorptivity of X‐ray photons. Here, a strategy for room‐temperature, solution‐grown δ‐CsPbI3 monocrystalline microwires exhibiting one of the highest linear X‐ray absorption coefficients among known semiconductors is reported. In a metal–semiconductor–metal architecture, δ‐CsPbI3 demonstrates one of the lowest detectable X‐ray dose rates at 33.3 nGyair s−1, enabled by its exceptionally low dark current density of 12 pA mm−2. The detector remains stable following a continuous operation for a total accumulated dose of 1.44 × 106 Gyair, which is equivalent to 720 million chest X‐ray scans. The 1D crystalline nature of δ‐CsPbI3 enables a high X‐ray imaging resolution of 12.4 line pairs per millimeter (lp mm−1).
Standards and regulatory cooperation in regional trade agreements: What the effects on trade?
Authors: Santeramo Fabio Gaetano , Lamonaca Emilia 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThe agenda of trade negotiation in the agri‐food sector is characterized by an exponential increase of sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures and of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs). Their joint effect on trade is puzzling and still an open empirical question. Once assessed the trade effect of standards provided in SPS measures, the study evaluates how regulatory cooperation and commitments beyond World Trade Organization requirements affect trade between signatories of RTAs. Trade between signatories seems obstructed by non‐discriminatory (multilateral) SPS measures. However, SPS‐specific commitments negotiated in joint SPS committees within RTAs tend to create conditions to meet standards, contributing to boost trade.

AbstractSeveral γ‐cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives mono‐ or di‐substituted by pyrenes at the primary rim of the CD were demonstrated to aggregate into nano‐strips in aqueous solutions, with the pyrene moieties interpenetrating into γ‐CD cavities. The hydrophobic complexation‐induced aggregation provides a rigid chiral environment for the pyrenes and leads to significant electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activities, giving unprecedently highgabsandglumvalues up to 4.3×10−2and 5.3×10−2, respectively. The aggregates lead to excimer emission with high quantum yields and showBCPLandBiCPLup to 338. 6 M−1 cm−1and 169.3 M−1 cm−1, respectively.

Published: May 2022

AbstractNeuN is a neuron‐specific nuclear protein expressed in most mature neuronal cell types, with some exceptions. These exceptions are known mainly for the brain but not for the spinal cord or the spinal visceral networks for which only scarce information is available. One of the most defined visceral structures in the spinal cord is the sympathetic intermediolateral nucleus located within the thoracolumbar segments. We investigated the NeuN staining in the intermediolateral nucleus and compared it with the staining for two neurochemical markers of visceral neurons: nitric oxide synthase and calcium‐binding protein calretinin in adult cats and in kittens aged 0, 14, and 35 days. A clear NeuN‐immunonegativity was obtained for intermediolateral neurons labeled for nitric oxide synthase for both adult cats and kittens. In contrast, a matched immunopositivity for the NeuN and calretinin was obtained, showing an age‐dependent degree of this colocalization, which was high in newborn kittens, decreased on postnatal 14 and 35 days and persisted at a moderate level up to adulthood. Perhaps our data displayed a heterogeneity of the intermediolateral neurons.

Abstract1‐Methyl/ethyl/benzyl‐5‐(un)substituted 1H‐indole‐2,3‐diones (2, 3, and 4) were synthesized by reaction of 5‐(un)substituted 1H‐indole‐2,3‐diones (1) with methyl iodide, ethyl chloride, and benzyl bromide. (3‐Sulfamoylphenyl)isothiocyanate (6) was obtained by the treatment of 3‐aminobenzenesulfonamide (5) with thiophosgene. Compound 6 was reacted with hydrazine to yield 4‐(3‐sulfamoylphenyl)thiosemicarbazide (7). Novel 1‐(un)substituted/methyl/ethyl/benzyl‐5‐(un)substituted 1H‐indole‐2,3‐dione 3‐[4‐(3‐sulfamoylphenyl)thiosemicarbazone] derivatives (8−11) were prepared by condensation of 7 and 1−4. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral data. Inhibition of the widely distributed cytosolic off‐targets human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) I and II, and two tumor‐associated membrane‐bound isoforms (hCAs IX and XII), by 8−11 was investigated. The hCA II inhibitory effects of all tested compounds were in the subnanomolar to low nanomolar levels (Ki = 0.32−83.3 nM), and generally high selectivity for hCA II isoenzyme over hCA I, IX, and XII isoenzymes was observed. The strongest inhibitors of hCA II, 1‐benzyl‐5‐(trifluoromethoxy)‐substituted 11c (Ki = 0.32 nM) and 1‐ethyl‐5‐chloro‐substituted 10e (Ki = 0.35 nM), were docked within the enzyme active site. Molecular modeling studies with the most effective hCA IX and XII inhibitors were also carried out.
