Declining Wages for College-Educated Workers in Mexico: Are Younger or Older Cohorts Hurt the Most?
Authors: Campos-Vazquez Raymundo Miguel , Lopez-Calva Luis Felipe , Lustig Nora 
Published: December 2022

Wage inequality declined in Mexico since 2000. This paper investigates the possible channels on why the wages of high-skilled workers have declined. Using data from Mexican labor surveys for the period between 2000 and 2014, we investigate if the decline was driven by wages declining more sharply for younger or older workers. We find that wages of older workers declined and the decline was more pronounced the older the cohort. This would seem to support the hypothesis that older workers’ skills became obsolete.
Icelandic and Spanish citizens before the crisis: Size Matters...and institutions too
Authors: UHU Revistas científicas 
Published: December 2022

In this paper, a comparative analysis between the main political citizen attitudes before the crisis in Iceland and Spain is carried out. After a brief review of political and economical antecendents, it was concluded that in Spain, as well as in Iceland, the key explanatory factors of the deep economic imbalances are located at the institutional sphere. The excesses are related in both cases to political clientelism and to diverse corruptions practices, in such a way that even the alarming signs that preceded “the official date” of the economic crisis, no convenient measures were adopted in time. In this context, the crisis has played a catalyst role, accelerating the demands aimed at achieving a better performance of the democratic system in both countries. Distrust in politicians and in political parties, as well as in other formal institutions, has not been translated neither in lack of confidence in the democracy system per se, nor in poltical apathy. Moreover, the discontent has been in both cases translated into both formulae of more political informal participation and of a greater support to more direct democracy, though through differents channels and with different results. In the discussion, diverse hypotheses are explored in order to explain the main findings in the comparative analysis. On the one hand, some of the variables associated to small-states literature are taken into account, in order to argue the main differences found out between the Spanish and Icelandic cases. On the other, diverse hypotheses from the political science literature are considered in search of a plausible explanation of the major parallelisms found.

Authors: Wulani Fenika , Lindawati Tuty , Iswanto Y.B.Budi 
Published: December 2022

Purpose – Online motorcycle taxi driving is a field of work that has recently become a work option for some people. However, it could be this choice because of the compulsion that can cause stress. Drawing on social cognitive theory, this study investigates the antecedents of online motorcycle taxi drivers work stress, by considering coworker support, autonomy, and affective occupational commitment.
Methodology – Data collection was carried out by surveying questionnaires, with 89 online motorcycle taxi drivers in Surabaya as respondents. Data analysis was done using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).
Findings – Supportive of social cognitive theory, this study finds that coworker support and autonomy positively influence affective occupational commitment, while affective occupational commitment is likely to reduce work stress. Coworker support and autonomy have no significant direct effect on work stress. Affective occupational commitment mediates the relationship between coworker support and work stress.
Originality – Previous studies on online motorcycle taxi drivers tend to identify organizational commitment and examine the effect of work stress on work attitudes. The present study considers affective occupational commitment as an antecedent of work stress, and a mediator of the influence of coworker support and autonomy, on online motorcycle taxi drivers' work stress in Surabaya.

Published: December 2022

Not a few Covid-19 patients have died while undergoing self-isolation (isoman) at home. According to data obtained from the Sempaja Timur Village, there were 533 patients who underwent isomanism and 15 of them died. Lack of assistance while undergoing isoman causes the patient's condition to worsen and end in death. This community service aims to increase the knowledge of isoman patient companion volunteers with the hope that the safety of isoman patients in Sempaja Timur Village can be improved. This activity was attended by 20 volunteers who were chosen by the head of the RT in Sempaja Timur Village. The method used consists of four stages, namely the stage of situation analysis, planning, preparation and implementation. The assessment instrument uses a questionnaire. The training materials include information about Covid-19 including case tracking, volunteer protocol and isoman protocol. The results of the evaluation showed the average value of pretest knowledge was 67 (SD 10,848) and the average posttest score was 79,20 (SD 7,797). Thus there is an increase in volunteer knowledge after training by 12.20. Suggestion: Volunteer training needs to be carried out on an ongoing basis including post-covid handling so that symptoms that arise after recovering from covid can be detected and treated immediately.

Published: December 2022

BackgroundNowadays, there is still no effective treatment developed for COVID-19, and early identification and supportive therapies are essential in reducing the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19. This is the first study to evaluate D-dimer to lymphocyte ratio (DLR) as a prognostic utility in patients with COVID-19.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 611 patients and separated them into groups of survivors and non-survivors. The area under the curve (AUC) of various predictors integrated into the prognosis of COVID-19 was compared using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. In order to ascertain the interaction between DLR and survival in COVID-19 patients, the Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve was chosen.ResultsAge (OR = 1.053; 95% CI, 1.022-1.086; P = 0.001), NLR (OR = 1.045; 95% CI, 1.001-1.091; P = 0.046), CRP (OR = 1.010; 95% CI, 1.005-1.016; P &lt; 0.001), PT (OR = 1.184; 95% CI, 1.018-1.377; P = 0.029), and DLR (OR = 1.048; 95% CI, 1.018-1.078; P = 0.001) were the independent risk factors related with the mortality of COVID-19. DLR had the highest predictive value for COVID-19 mortality with the AUC of 0.924. Patients’ survival was lower when compared to those with lower DLR (Log Rank P &lt;0.001).ConclusionDLR might indicate a risk factor in the mortality of patients with COVID-19.
An intrinsically motivated learning algorithm based on Bayesian surprise for cognitive radar in autonomous vehicles
Authors: Zamiri-Jafarian Yeganeh , Hou Ming , Plataniotis Konstantinos N. 
Published: December 2022

IntroductionThis paper proposes a Bayesian surprise learning algorithm that internally motivates the cognitive radar to estimate a target's state (i.e., velocity, distance) from noisy measurements and make decisions to reduce the estimation error gradually. The work exhibits how the sensor learns from experiences, anticipates future responses, and adjusts its waveform parameters to achieve informative measurements based on the Bayesian surprise.MethodsFor a simple vehicle-following scenario where the radar measurements are generated from linear Gaussian state-space models, the article adopts the Kalman filter to carry out state estimation. According to the information within the filter's estimate, the sensor intrinsically assigns a surprise-based reward value to the immediate past action and updates the value-to-go function. Through a series of hypothetical steps, the cognitive radar considers the impact of future transmissions for a prescribed set of waveforms–available from the sensor profile library–to improve the estimation process.Results and discussionNumerous experiments investigate the performance of the proposed design for various surprise-based reward expressions. The robustness of the proposed method is compared to the state-of-the-art for practical and risky driving situations. Results show that the reward functions inspired by estimation credibility measures outperform their competitors when one-step planning is considered. Simulation results also indicate that multiple-step planning does not necessarily lead to lower error, particularly when the environment changes abruptly.

Published: December 2022

IntroductionMitral stenosis (MS) is a widely known complication of mitral valve repair for non-rheumatic mitral regurgitation (MR). Few reports are available on the occurrence of MS after mitral valve repair for rheumatic MR in young populations.Case summaryA 14-year-old girl presented with orthopnea, abdominal distension, and bilateral lower-limb edema. She was cachectic, with a high-pitched holosystolic murmur best heard at the cardiac apex, bilateral basal crackles, tender hepatomegaly, pitting pedal edema, and jugular venous distension. Antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer was elevated. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed the loss of central coaptation of the mitral valve with leaflet restriction and MR, annular dilatation of the tricuspid valve, and tricuspid regurgitation (TR). She had AHA/ACC stage D mitral and TR s. Tricuspid annuloplasty and mitral valve repair for rheumatic MR were performed using Carpentier Edwards numbers 30 and 34, respectively. Following surgery, the weight and body mass index (BMI) rapidly normalized. The patient also developed progressive MS.DiscussionPrevious studies in adults have described the etiopathogenesis of MS after non-rheumatic mitral valve repair. There is a paucity of reports describing the development of MS over the span of months after rheumatic MR valve repair in early pubescent children.ConclusionGrowth spurts during puberty can potentially affect MR repair, as the mitral valve prosthesis based on the preoperative Body Surface Area (BSA) is outgrown. There is a need for research on planning, prognostication, and development of an optimal, individualized, and adaptable approach to MR intervention in early pubescence.

IntroductionDiabetes is one of the major metabolic diseases worldwide. Despite being a complex systemic pathology, the aggregation and deposition of Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP), or amylin, is a recognized histopathological marker of the disease. Although IAPP proteotoxicity represents an important trigger of β-cell dysfunction and ultimately death, its exploitation as a therapeutic tool remains underdeveloped. The bioactivity of (poly)phenols towards inhibition of pathological protein aggregation is well known, however, most of the identified molecules have limited bioavailability. MethodsUsing a strategy combining in silico, cell-free and cell studies, we scrutinized a unique in-house collection of (poly)phenol metabolites predicted to appear in the human circulation after (poly)phenols ingestion. ResultsWe identified urolithin B as a potent inhibitor of IAPP aggregation and a powerful modulator of cell homeostasis pathways. Urolithin B was shown to affect IAPP aggregation pattern, delaying the formation of amyloid fibrils and altering their size and morphology. The molecular mechanisms underlying urolithin B-mediated protection include protein clearance pathways, mitochondrial function, and cell cycle ultimately rescuing IAPP-mediated cell dysfunction and death. DiscussionIn brief, our study uncovered urolithin B as a novel small molecule targeting IAPP pathological aggregation with potential to be exploited as a therapeutic tool for mitigating cellular dysfunction in diabetes. Resulting from the colonic metabolism of dietary ellagic acid in the human body, urolithin B bioactivity has the potential to be explored in nutritional, nutraceutical, and pharmacological perspectives.

IntroductionPreterm birth is associated with an increased risk for impaired body weight gain. While it is known that in prematurity several somatic and environmental factors (e.g., endocrine factors, nutrition) modulate short- and long-term body weight gain, the contribution of potentially impaired body weight control in the brain remains elusive. We hypothesized that the structure of hypothalamic nuclei involved in body weight control is altered after preterm birth, with these alterations being associated with aberrant body weight development into adulthood.Materials and methodsWe assessed 101 very preterm (i.e., &lt;32 weeks of gestational age) and/or very low birth weight (i.e., &lt;1500g; VP/VLBW) and 110 full-term born (FT) adults of the population-based Bavarian Longitudinal Study with T1-weighted MRI, deep learning-based hypothalamus subunit segmentation, and multiple body weight assessments from birth into adulthood.ResultsVolumes of the whole hypothalamus and hypothalamus subunits relevant for body weight control were reduced in VP/VLBW adults and associated with birth variables (i.e., gestational age and intensity of neonatal treatment), body weight (i.e., weight at birth and adulthood), and body weight trajectories (i.e., trajectory slopes and cluster/types such as long-term catch-up growth). Particularly, VP/VLBW subgroups, whose individuals showed catch-up growth and/or were small for gestational age, were mostly associated with volumes of distinct hypothalamus subunits such as lateral or infundibular/ventromedial hypothalamus.ConclusionResults demonstrate lower volumes of body weight control-related hypothalamus subunits after preterm birth that link with long-term body weight gain. Data suggest postnatal development of body weight -related hypothalamic nuclei in VP/VLBW individuals that corresponds with distinct body weight trajectories into adulthood.

Published: December 2022

IntroductionDifferent opinions exist about the role of subchondral bone in osteoarthritis (OA), probably because subchondral bone has different effects on cartilage degeneration in OA induced by different pathologies. Animal studies to illustrate the role of subchondral bone in cartilage degeneration were mostly based on post-traumatic OA (PT-OA). Postmenopausal women experience a much higher occurrence of OA than similar-aged men. The physiological changes and pathogenesis of the osteochondral unit in ovariectomy-induced OA (OVX-OA) might be distinct from other types of OA.MethodsThe osteochondral alterations of post-traumatic OA (PT-OA) and OVX-OA at week 9 after surgery were compared. Then the alterations of osteochondral units in OVX-OA rats were tracked over time for the designed groups: Sham, OVX and OVX rats treated with estrogen (OVX+E). DXA, micro-CT, and histochemical staining were performed to observe alterations in osteochondral units.ResultsRapid cartilage degeneration and increased bone formation were observed in PT-OA, while only mild cartilage erosion and significant bone loss were observed in OVX-OA at week 9 after surgery. Subchondral bone degradation preceded cartilage degeneration by 6 weeks in OVX-OA. TGF-β expression was downregulated in the osteochondral unit of OVX rats. Estrogen supplementation inhibited subchondral bone loss, cartilage degradation and TGF-β expression decrease.DiscussionThis research demonstrated the distinct behaviors of the osteochondral unit and the critical role of subchondral bone in early OVX-OA compared with PT-OA. Inhibiting subchondral bone catabolism at the early stage of OVX-OA could be an effective treatment for post-menopausal OA. Based on the results, estrogen supplementation and TGF-β modulation at the early stage are both potential therapies for post-menopausal OA.
