Do menu costs lead to hysteresis in aggregate output? The experiences of some agent-based simulations
Authors: Váry Miklós 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe transitory shock of the financial crisis of 2008 pushed most economies to permanently lower-level growth paths than those prevalent before the crisis, which can be considered as a manifestation of hysteresis. It is well known that some fixed adjustment costs lead to hysteresis in aggregate output. This paper investigates within an agent-based model, whether the fixed costs of price adjustment (menu costs) lead to the same result. Hysteresis emerges in some simple variants of the model independently of firms being assumed boundedly or perfectly rational, but these model variants fit to the empirical data poorly. The model's empirical performance can be improved by assuming that firms are hit by idiosyncratic productivity shocks, but these shocks eliminate hysteresis generated by menu costs. However, hysteresis survives even in their presence, if it is generated by demand-supply interactions, i.e., positive feedbacks from the output gap to potential output. Our conclusion is that if one would like menu costs to serve as an at least as relevant explanation for the hysteretic dynamics of aggregate output as demand-supply interactions, one has to find an alternative assumption to replace idiosyncratic productivity shocks as a mechanism to assure good empirical fit for the model.

From isolation to constellation: Narrative focalisation in current technology disclosures
Authors: Sancho Guinda Carmen 
Published: December 2022

In this article, I explore focalisation in the mediated account of universitytechnology disclosures, a relatively recent digital genre for science andtechnology commercialisation and institutional promotion through onlinedissemination and outreach. Born in academic settings, this genre is still in-themakingand highly susceptible to discursive hybridity. My study draws on aneclectic framework that combines the principles of Netnography with NarrativeInquiry, (Critical) Genre and Multimodal Analysis, and Positioning Theory toexamine the teller’s role and the telling practices contained in two types ofinterrelated documents published by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid onits webpage: the institution’s current Technologies Portfolio and a series of salient inhouseinnovative technologies/projects rendered in comic-book format, both intheir English version.
The scrutiny of the 134 samples of the Portfolio and of the 12 instances ofcomic-books reveals how the hybridity generated by digital affordancesinfluences narrative and, along with it, promotional strategies. I lay specialemphasis on the concept of ‘narrative focalisation’ and attempt to answer thefamous Goffmanian question “Who is speaking?”, making the point that genrenetworking is a way of telling and ultimately of institutional branding.
Factores psicosociales asociados a la reincidencia de intentos de suicidio en pacientes con enfermedad mental atendidos en el Hospital Mental de Antioquia, Colombia, 2014-2016
Authors: Velásquez Vélez Angie Vanessa , Medina Tamayo Marisol , Pérez Villegas Isabel Cristina , Trujillo Orrego Natalia 
Published: December 2022

Objetivo: Este estudio buscó analizar el comportamiento de factores psicosociales (características sociodemográficas, diagnóstico principal, método de intento, cognición y comportamiento) en relación con el número de intentos de suicidio en pacientes con diagnóstico de enfermedad mental, atendidos en el Hospital Mental de Antioquia, entre los años 2014 y 2016, además de evaluar la relación asociativa de dichos factores en la reincidencia por intento.
Metodología: Estudio de corte transversal, que analiza, en 248 personas con diagnóstico de afecciones mentales, la asociación mencionada. Para ello, se describe, primero, el perfil sociodemográfico y clínico; luego, se construye un modelo de regresión logística multivariada, para evaluar la asociación de factores psicosociales con el riesgo de reincidencia por intento.
Resultados: La población se caracterizó, principalmente, por ser joven (12-20 años) y de género femenino (62,9 %), siendo la reincidencia del 40 %. Entre los hallazgos de mayor relevancia se informa que se presenta una mayor proporción de consumo de sustancias psicoactivas y bajo apoyo familiar/social en pacientes con cuatro episodios respecto a quienes tuvieron un intento. Los predictores explicativos del riesgo de reincidencia por intento de suicidio fueron el trastorno depresivo recurrente, escaso seguimiento psiquiátrico y el uso de métodos de menor letalidad (corte de muñecas).
Conclusión: Los resultados son claves en el marco de la prevención del suicidio, en tanto identifican factores que contribuyen al aumento del número de intentos y su reincidencia, y coincide con la ventana temporal de inicio de vigilancia del evento en el sistema colombiano.
Earthquake Swarms in Southern Hispaniola Revealed by Spatiotemporal Evolution of Seismicity from Multi-Station Template Matching
Authors: Lee Hsin-Yu , Douilly Roby 
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT
Earthquake swarms have provided useful insights into driving mechanisms for triggered earthquakes. However, a majority of earthquake swarms consist of microseismicity in which observations sometimes are limited because of detection ability. Here, we apply a multi-station template matching technique to two temporary seismic networks and investigate microseismicity in southern Hispaniola. We detect a total of 6065 and 1366 new events for the 2010 and 2013–2014 datasets, respectively, using templates from pre-existing catalogs. The magnitude of completeness (Mc) of our updated catalogs drops from 1.7 to 1.2 and from 2.2 to 1.4 for the 2010 and 2013–2014, respectively, after combining new detections with the templates. With the improvement of seismic detections, the spatiotemporal distribution of the seismicity showcases three instances of earthquake swarms. The first one is located offshore on the Trois Baies fault, with over one thousand events triggered during mid-February to early March 2010, whereas the other one is distributed along the western Léogâne fault, which occurs within a day and shows many earthquakes with similar waveforms. The third one is found in the north of Lake Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic, which outlines a nearly vertical fault plane. Our updated earthquake catalogs and observations of these swarms provide necessary information for seismic hazard assessment in southern Hispaniola and will facilitate continued investigations of seismology in the area.

Published: December 2022

Background: Over the last few decades many railway accidents and fatalities have occurred in India as well as worldwide. Cities having a high economic activity and are complex spatial structures, are supported by transport systems. The evolution of mass rapid transport system in the form of sub-urban railway network has increased railway casualties in the cities as the railroads pass through residential and commercial zones.Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at R. G. Kar medical college and hospital police Morgue attached to the department of forensic medicine and toxicology (FMT), Kolkata on the randomly selected medico legal postmortems over last 4 years.Results: Railway accidents were common in males with mean age group of 38.98 years and was almost identical with the female mean age. The accidents mostly occurred in the office hours during the day time. Chi square test of association gave significant results between the different age groups with sex and grievous injuries sustained the people. Injuries sustained by the train showed that they were found mostly over the head followed by spine and thorax. Major cause of death was due to head injuries.Conclusions: The article gives an idea about the relevant demographic profiles and association with the age-related factors that can be taken up as means to prevent the accidents.
Thermal Rehabilitation of Facades of Operated Panel Buildings
Authors: Chernoivan V. N. , Chernoivan N. V. 
Published: December 2022

Field studies of panel buildings have shown that after 30 years of operation, the technical condition of structural elements (embedded parts, welds, etc.) are in working condition. At the same time, the thermal characteristics of the external wall fencing have decreased by more than 30 % compared to those adopted during the design and do not meet regulatory requirements. One of the main reasons for this is the destruction of the material of the thermal insulation layer of wall panels under the influence of atmospheric influences. Consequently, the thermal rehabilitation of external wall panels allows for further operation of panel buildings without restrictions. According to the results of the studies carried out, it is proposed to use a factory-made thermal insulation cladding plate for thermal rehabilitation of the facades of operated panel buildings. The publication presents the results of laboratory studies on the choice of an effective solution for the design of the conection (joint) of individual thermal insulation plate into a thermal insulation facing plate of the required dimensions. The technology of manufacturing thermal insulation facing plates is described. The main advantages of the proposed structural and technological solution for the thermal rehabilitation of external wall panels are: a significant reduction in manual technological processes on the construction site; the possibility of performing work without eviction of residents; eliminating the appearance of cold bridges in the inter-panel seams during the operation of buildings through the use of a folding type joint.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Pesticides are an environmental problem. The search for new pest control methods has focused on compounds with low or no toxic effects in non-target organisms. Analogs of the juvenile hormone (JH) interfere endocrine system of arthropods. However, the lack of effect on non-target species requires confirmation. This article analyzes the impact of Fenoxycarb, an analog of JH, on Physella acuta, an aquatic gastropod. For one week, exposure to 0.01, 1, and 100 µg/L was used to obtain RNA and perform retrotranscription and real-time PCR. Forty genes related to the endocrine system, the DNA repair mechanisms, the detoxification mechanisms, oxidative stress, the stress response, the nervous system, hypoxia, energy metabolism, the immune system, and apoptosis were analyzed. Three of the genes, AchE, Hsp17.9, and ApA, showed responses to the presence of Fenoxycarb at 1 µg/L, with no statistically significant responses in the rest of the genes and at the remaining concentrations. From the results, it can be concluded that Fenoxycarb shows low toxicity in P. acuta. However, a gene related to immunity was altered so it could have putative long-term effects. Therefore, additional research is required to confirm the safety of Fenoxycarb in non-arthropod species.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the association between visceral obesity and short-term postoperative complications in patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery.
Methods: Medical records were reviewed for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. Visceral fat area, subcutaneous fat area and total fat area were measured on a single slice at the level of L3/4 of a preoperative CT scan. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to calculate the optimal cut-off value for visceral fat area. Relationships between visceral fat area and characteristics of ovarian cancer patients were analyzed. Univariable and multivariable Logistic regression analyseswere performed to investigate the value of perioperative characteristics of patients on short-term complications.
Results: According to the ROC curve, the best cut-off value of VFA was 93 cm². Of the 130 patients, 53.8% (70/130) were presented visceral obesity. Patients with visceral obesity were older than those with non-visceral obesity (58.4 years old vs. 52.1 years old, p < 0.001). The proportion of patients with hypertension was higher (35.7% vs. 13.3%, p = 0.003). The total fat area and subcutaneous fat area were higher in patients with visceral obesity (294.3 ± 75.5 vs. 176.2 ± 68.7, p < 0.001; 158.9 ± 54.7 vs. 121.7 ± 52.6, p < 0.001). Compared with patients in the non-visceral obese group, patients in the visceral obese group were more likely to have postoperative fever (21/70 30.0% vs. 8/60 1.25%, p = 0.023), leading to a longer length of hospital stay (21 days vs. 17 days, p = 0.009). Time from surgery to adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with visceral obesity has been delayed (24 days vs. 19 days, p = 0.037). Multivariate analysis showed that visceral obesity (OR = 6.451, p < 0.001) and operation time (OR = 1.006, p < 0.001) were independent predictors of postoperative complications.
Conclusion: Visceral obesity is an important risk factor for short-term postoperative complications in patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
Psychological distress in cancer patients affects patients' treatment and recovery and reduces their quality of life. Humanistic care can improve patients' psychological situation. However, there is no research related to humanistic care demands and the psychological distress of cancer patients.
Methods
A total of 563 tumor patients from our center were recruited and investigated using a general questionnaire, a psychological distress thermometer (DT), and a humanistic care demand questionnaire.
Results
The average score of psychological distress was (3.75 ± 2.55). There were 256 cases (45.4%) with significant psychological distress (DT ≥ 4). There was a positive correlation between the level of patient psychological distress and nursing humanistic care demand (r = 0.244, P < 0.01). The logistic regression analysis showed that respiratory status, difficulty in arm movement, disrupted daily life, sadness, complaints, tension, and ability to have children were the factors significantly affecting patients' psychological distress (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
The detection rate of psychological distress in patients with surgical treatment of tumors is high. Influenced by various factors, medical staff should pay great attention to patients’ psychological states and take individualized nursing measures to alleviate their psychological distress.

Abstract
Background: Syphilis is a highly contagious Sexually Transmitted Infection posing a significant public health challenge, especially in developing countries including those in sub-Saharan Africa. Female sex workers are exposed to sexually transmitted infections, including syphilis, because of their sexual behavior and limited access to health services. There is scarce data on national syphilis prevalence estimate and the associated factors in Ethiopia. This along with our limited knowledge extent of clustering among female sex workers across towns in the country, a critical gap in information we aimed to fill through this analysis.
Methods: The study was a community based cross-sectional, bio-behavioral survey conducted among FSWs in 16 cities and major towns in Ethiopia by using a Respondent Driven Sampling method. Survey data were collected through an interviewer administered questionnaire and blood samples were collected for syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis serological testing from 6085 participants. In this analysis, we employed descriptive statistics to summarize data on the study variables. We used multilevel bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models to examine the association between independent variables and the outcome (syphilis prevalence), while also accounting for the clustering effect.
Result: Of the 6085 female sex workers included in the study, a majority (96.1%) were in the 20-24 years age group. The overall prevalence of syphilis among female sex workers in the 16 cities and major towns of Ethiopia was 6.2%. Being in the age group of 30-34 (AOR=2.64; 95% CI=1.40, 4.98), and 35-59 (AOR=4.7; 95% CI=2.5, 8.86), being divorced/widowed (AOR=1.37; 95% CI=1.03, 1.82), having no formal education (AOR=3.38; 95% CI=2.34, 5.11), primary 1st cycle (grades 1-4) education (AOR=2.77; 95% CI=1.79, 4.30), and having primary 2nd cycle (grades 5-8) education (AOR=1.80; 95% CI=1.21, 2.69) were significantly associated with syphilis infection among female sex workers.
Conclusion: The prevalence of syphilis was high among female sex workers in Ethiopia. Being divorced/widowed or in the older age group, and having low level of education were significantly associated with increased risk of syphilis. The high prevalence and the determinant identified in the study need to be considered in the planning of comprehensive interventions to control syphilis infection among female sex workers in Ethiopia.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) etiology is still not completely understood, and many individuals resist the traditional treatments. Chronic exposure to stressful events can contribute to development and progression and be involved in biological changes underlying MDD. Among the biological mechanisms involved, inflammatory changes and oxidative balance are associated with MDD pathophysiology. Quetiapine, a second-generation antipsychotic, induces a better therapeutic response in individuals refractory to traditional treatments. The main objectives of this research were: To evaluate the effect of chronic mild stress (CMS) on depressive-like behaviors, oxidative stress, and inflammation in adult rats; to evaluate the possible antidepressant, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of quetiapine. The animals were submitted to CMS protocols. At the end of the CMS, the animals were submitted to a chronic treatment for 14 days with the following drugs: quetiapine, imipramine, and escitalopram. At the end of the treatments, the animals were evaluated in the open field tests, anhedonia (splash test), and forced swimming. The animals were euthanized after the behavioral tests, and serum samples were collected. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and interleukin-6 levels were analyzed. CMS induced an increase in depressive-like behaviors, and quetiapine significantly reduced these behaviors. MPO activity and IL-6 levels increased in the serum of animals submitted to CMS. Quetiapine significantly reduced MPO activity and IL-6 levels. These results corroborate other evidence, indicating that chronic stress is a relevant phenomenon in the etiology of depression and suggesting that quetiapine induces an antidepressant effect because it reduces oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms.
