Asymmetric Political Representation and Fiscal Redistribution
Authors: McAllister James A. 
Published: June 2022

This article demonstrates how the formation of new federations with power asymmetries, such as Canada at the time of Confederation—its constitutional moment—led to asymmetric representation, also referred to as malapportionment. The same power asymmetries that led to asymmetric representation also led to fiscal redistribution in which some sub-national jurisdictions obtained a share of federal government spending that was disproportionate to their share of the country’s population or their contribution toward federal government revenues.This article makes use of historical institutionalism to demonstrate that Confederation can best be viewed as a critical juncture and treats Canada as a case study in which both political malapportionment and fiscal redistribution were part of the initial federal bargain. It also shows how path dependence ensures that both malapportionment and fiscal redistribution have been persistent features of the Canadian federation and have become accentuated over time.Malapportionment is measured using the Loosemore-Hanby index of electoral disproportionality, as adapted by David Samuels and Richard Snyder. This permits comparisons between institutions, including the House of Commons and Senate, various caucuses within those institutions, and the federal cabinet. It also permits comparisons between jurisdictions and between different time periods. Fiscal redistribution is measured using Statistics Canada estimates of spending by the federal government in each province and territory and the amount of revenue it collects in those same jurisdictions. Progressive forms of taxation, direct spending by the federal government, and intergovernmental grants have all expanded exponentially and have led to increased fiscal redistribution.

Таксономічний аналіз урбанофлори Кривого Рогу за способами запилення
Authors: Зайко О.В. 
Published: June 2022

Відновлення рослинного покриву нашої планети відбувається внаслідок існування процесів запилення у життєвих циклах вищих рослин. Запилення є процесом перенесення пилкових зерен з пиляків на приймочку маточки. Цей процес може здійснюватися: вітром, комахами, водою. Велика кількість рослин потребує комах-запилювачів для забезпечення нормального запилення. Наявність достатньої кількості запилювачів під час цвітіння необхідна для забезпечення сталого врожаю культурних рослин. Ефективність запилення збільшує розмір плодів, сприяє їх швидкому достиганню і симетричну форму плодів. Запилення - є не тільки однією із стадій розвитку і розмноження рослин, але і є корисним для інших живих організмів. Відсутність запилення у рослин може призвести до зникнення видів та навіть моно видових родин. Визначення співвідношення способів запилення в урбанофлорі Кривого Рога дозволить встановити роль комах, вітру та води у процесах відновлення рослинного покриву, що особливо актуально для нашого промислового міста.

I Fall Upon the Thorns of Life! I Bleed! Tracing Ausi’s Right to Maim in Omar Shahid Hamid’s The Spinner’s Tale (2015)
Authors: Shakir Farheen 
Published: June 2022

Crime fiction has emerged as a developing genre in the literary field of Pakistan. Moreover, Omar Shahid Hamid’s fictional works have played a pivotal role in its emergence. The current review of The Spinner’s Tale (2015) by the above author depicts Uzair, a.k.a. Ausi, as the hardcore terrorist who falls upon the thorns of life and bleeds. His defiance of the essentialist human nature changes his free will into a nexus of obligations. Although he transgresses the prescribed boundaries to achieve his standard of morality so as to make sense of his revenge, his super-humanness as antihuman and disabled otherness are challenged by the state. The current study examines his right to maim in light of Jasbir K. Puar’s concept of maiming, disability, debility, and capacity. The insistent need of the time to optimize the level of violence perpetrated by the state and to revolutionize the philosophical standing about antihumanists and isolated figures remain the main aspects of discussion. Problematic characters, such as Ausi, present their defiance as resistance and take revenge from the technologized neo-imperial system for their maimed and disabled bodies. Through the lens of Jasbir Puar, Ausi’s right to maim is gauged by deconstructing biopolitical power structures and the shifting of the responsibility of crime and terrorism onto the civilized posthumans who own power, although remain powerless to handle terrorists. The current critical examination exposes Ausi’s standpoint of revenge against the posthumanist governmentality of neo-colonial powers and their unjust maiming and disabling of subjectified subjects in the colonized lands of Afghanistan, Palestine, and Kashmir.

Conformational Selectivity of Merocyanine on Nanostructured Silver Films: Surface Enhanced Resonance Raman Scattering (SERRS) and Density Functional Theoretical (DFT) Study
Authors: Das Abhishek , Chadha Ridhima , Mishra Amaresh , Maiti Nandita 
Published: June 2022

In this study, detailed structural and vibrational analysis of merocyanine has been investigated using Raman, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS). The Raman, SERS and SERRS studies aided by density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations clearly established the prevalence of the trans- and cis-conformers of the protonated form of merocyanine (MCH+) in solid and acetonitrile solution. The binding characteristics of merocyanine adsorbed on nanostructured silver-coated films (SCFs) were investigated using excitation-dependent SERS, concentration-dependent SERRS and DFT studies. The conformers of merocyanine involved in the surface adsorption processes were recognized. The prominent marker bands observed at 1538 (ethylenic C=C stretch) and 1133 cm−1 (pyridinium C-N stretch) in the Raman spectrum of merocyanine in acetonitrile shifted to 1540 and 1126 cm−1, respectively on the nanostructured SCFs. The shift in the marker bands is associated with either the preferential binding of selective conformer or change in resonance equilibrium between the benzenoid and quinoid forms. The excitation wavelength dependent SERS spectrum infers that in addition to the major contribution from the electromagnetic enhancement, chemical (resonance) effect leads to the amplification of the 1540 cm−1 band. The concentration-dependent SERRS study showed maximum enhancement for the nanostructured SCFs functionalized with 1 μM concentration of merocyanine, indicative of monolayer coverage. For lower concentrations of merocyanine, the SERRS signal intensity reduced without any alteration in the peak positions. The SERRS study thus, revealed sub-nanomolar (0.1 nM) sensing of merocyanine using nanostructured SCFs with the analytical enhancement factor (AEF) of ∼ 1010 for the 1126 cm−1 and 1540 cm−1 Raman bands for MC concentration of 0.1 nM. In this study, combination of SERRS and DFT have clearly established the predominance of trans-MCH+ on the nanostructured silver surface with minor contribution from cis-MCH+, which remain exclusively bound to the surface via the phenoxyl ring O atom. This conformational surface selectivity of geometrical isomers of merocyanine using nanostructured surfaces can be further explored for energy efficient and economical separation of geometrical isomers.

Published: June 2022

BackgroundAlbumin, an important component of fluid balance, is associated with kidney, liver, nutritional, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and is measured by blood tests. Since fluid balance is associated with electrocardiography (ECG) changes, we established a deep learning model (DLM) to estimate albumin via ECG.ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop a DLM to estimate albumin via ECG and explored its contribution to future complications.Materials and MethodsA DLM was trained for estimating ECG-based albumin (ECG-Alb) using 155,078 ECGs corresponding to albumin from 79,111 patients, and another independent 13,335 patients from an academic medical center and 11,370 patients from a community hospital were used for internal and external validation. The primary analysis focused on distinguishing patients with mild to severe hypoalbuminemia, and the secondary analysis aimed to provide additional prognostic value from ECG-Alb for future complications, which included mortality, new-onset hypoalbuminemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), new onset hepatitis, CVD mortality, new-onset acute myocardial infarction (AMI), new-onset stroke (STK), new-onset coronary artery disease (CAD), new-onset heart failure (HF), and new-onset atrial fibrillation (Afib).ResultsThe AUC to identify hypoalbuminemia was 0.8771 with a sensitivity of 56.0% and a specificity of 90.7% in the internal validation set, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.69 in the continuous analysis. The most important ECG features contributing to ECG-Alb were ordered in terms of heart rate, corrected QT interval, T wave axis, sinus rhythm, P wave axis, etc. The group with severely low ECG-Alb had a higher risk of all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR): 2.45, 95% CI: 1.81–3.33] and the other hepatorenal and cardiovascular events in the internal validation set. The external validation set yielded similar results.ConclusionHypoalbuminemia and its complications can be predicted using ECG-Alb as a novel biomarker, which may be a non-invasive tool to warn asymptomatic patients.
Association Between Serum Uric Acid Level and Carotid Atherosclerosis and Metabolic Syndrome in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Published: June 2022

BackgroundSerum uric acid (SUA) is associated with many cardiovascular risk factors, such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) and subclinical atherosclerosis. However, the relationship of SUA with carotid atherosclerosis remains controversial. We aimed to investigate whether elevated SUA levels are associated with a high risk of carotid atherosclerosis and MetS in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsThis cross-sectional study was performed with a sample of 1,947 hospitalized patients with T2DM. Carotid intima-media thickness and carotid artery plaques were measured via Doppler ultrasound.ResultsUric acid levels were negatively associated with HbA1C, eGFR, and HDL-C (all P &lt; 0.001) and positively associated with WBC, BMI, ACR, creatinine, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure (all P &lt; 0.001). After adjusting for multiple potential confounders, the risks were substantially higher for MetS in the highest quartile of SUA levels (odds ratio: 2.91, 95% confidence interval: 1.54–5.51, P = 0.003 for trend) than in the lowest quartile of SUA levels. Furthermore, a significant increase was observed in the prevalence of overweight/obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia across the SUA quartiles independent of confounders. However, no significant association was found between SUA quartile with the presence of carotid atherosclerosis.ConclusionsIn patients with T2DM, SUA levels were closely associated with MetS and its components but not with carotid atherosclerosis.
