The Effect of Motivation, Tax System Complexity, and Financial Conditions on Taxpayer Compliance
Authors: Muflihani Firna , Subroto Bambang , Rusydi Mohamad Khoiru 
Published: April 2022

This study was conducted to determine the factors that influence the behavior of taxpayer compliance through tax planning, both internal and external factors. This study used analytical method of SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) with sample consisting of 346 corporate taxpayers and tax professionals in Samarinda City as the unit of analysis. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires either directly or via Google form. The results of this study prove that internal factors have a negative effect on obedient behavior directly and have a positive effect on tax-payer complianceÂ through tax planning. This study also proves that external factors have a positiveÂ effect on tax-payer compliance both directly and through tax planning. Therefore, itÂ can be concluded that the motivation for tax compliance is mediated perfectly by taxÂ planning. Meanwhile, the complexity of the taxation system and the financialÂ condition of taxpayer compliance is partially mediated by tax planning. The resultsÂ of this study imply the importance of tax planning in increasing tax payments.
Immersing learners in English listening classroom: does self-regulated learning instruction make a difference?
Authors: Xu Jian , Luo Kaizhou 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Drawing on self-regulated learning (SRL) theory, this quasi-experimental research examined the effectiveness of SRL listening instruction and its influence on L2 listening motivation and strategy use. Quantitative data were collected from 80 undergraduate students who enrolled in an English listening course at a Chinese university. The experimental group (N = 40) received 17-week SRL English listening instruction, whereas the control group (N = 40) received traditional product-oriented listening instruction. All the participants completed pre- and post-listening proficiency tests along with questionnaires at the beginning and end of the intervention program. Results showed that influenced by SRL listening instruction, the experimental group outperformed the control group in the post-listening proficiency test with a large effect size, and SRL listening instruction also enhanced the students’ expectancy and the perceived importance of L2 listening comprehension, as well as fostering their top-down strategy use. Some pedagogical implications are discussed.

Zusammenfassung
Zunehmend komplexer werdende Arbeitsprozesse, die Flexibilisierung und Entgrenzung der Arbeit sowie deren voranschreitende Subjektivierung eröffnen Erwerbstätigen neue Möglichkeiten, bergen aber auch Risiken. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht mit dem Phänomen des suchthaften Arbeitens ein bis heute für Deutschland nur schwach erforschtes Thema. So ist kaum bekannt, wie verbreitet arbeitssüchtiges Verhalten in Deutschland ist oder welche sozialen Gruppen von Erwerbstätigen in besonderem Maße davon betroffen sind. Auf Basis repräsentativer Daten für Deutschland aus dem Jahr 2017/18 und der Nutzung einer international etablierten Arbeitssuchtskala (Dutch Work Addiction Scale, DUWAS) kann gezeigt werden, dass suchthaftes Arbeiten kein Randphänomen darstellt. Während nur schwache Zusammenhänge zwischen soziodemografischen Merkmalen und arbeitssüchtigem Verhalten festgestellt werden können, tritt suchthaftes Arbeiten bei bestimmten Merkmalen der Beschäftigung (Arbeitszeit, Selbstständigkeit, Führungsverantwortung), des Betriebs (Betriebsgröße, Betriebsrat) und des ausgeübten Berufs häufiger auf.
Sozialpartnerschaft unter Spannung

Zusammenfassung
Dieser Beitrag untersucht anhand von Pressemitteilungen, Gastbeiträgen der Vorsitzenden und Presseinterviews, wie die Tarifparteien der deutschen Metall- und Elektroindustrie, Gesamtmetall und IG Metall, die Corona-Krise in der Öffentlichkeit darstellten. Die mit dieser Untersuchung eingenommene Framing-Perspektive verspricht Aufschluss darüber, wie die Tarifparteien die Handlungsfähigkeit der Sozialpartnerschaft einschätzen und welche Prioritäten sie setzen. Die Sozialpartnerschaft steht auch in den Kernbereichen des deutschen Wirtschaftsmodells in zunehmendem Maße unter Druck. Das spiegelt sich auch in unserer Analyse wider. Während auf den ersten Blick in der Beschreibung der Krise und dem Ruf nach staatlichen Hilfen zur Unterstützung der Wirtschaft und Sicherung der Beschäftigten eine Interessenkoalition besteht, ist diese genauer betrachtet durch ein starkes Ungleichgewicht gekennzeichnet. Nicht nur handelt es sich um rein strategische Kooperation bei spezifischen Themen (Autoprämie, Kurzarbeitergeld). Die Arbeitgeberseite besteht außerdem auf Lohnzurückhaltung und lässt die gewerkschaftlichen Aufrufe zur weiter reichenden gemeinsamen Verantwortungsübernahme unbeantwortet. Insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund weiterer Auswirkungen der Pandemie auf den Arbeitsmarkt wird so die gewerkschaftliche Verhandlungsmacht geschwächt und die Sozialpartnerschaft gerät weiter unter Druck.
Bubbles and OB associations

Abstract
Supernovae explosions (SNe) in a stratified interstellar disc can create large scale structures and outflows perpendicular to the disc. Their morphology and emission characteristics depend on interrelations between the number of exploded SNe, the ISM vertical scale height, the height above the ISM disc at which SNe are located, and the mid-plane density of ambient gas. When observed such out-of-plane gas structures do characterize properties of the driving SNe and reveal the presence of underlying stellar clusters. Even though the morphology and emission properties of such structures are sensitive to characteristics of ambient gas they might be used for rough estimates of the clusters’ mass.
Accounting for the role of asymptomatic patients in understanding the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic: a case study from Singapore
Authors: Liew Fu Teck , Ghosh Palash , Chakraborty Bibhas 
Published: April 2022

Abstract

Objectives
To forecast the true growth of COVID-19 cases in Singapore after accounting for asymptomatic infections, we study and make modifications to the SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered) epidemiological model by incorporating hospitalization dynamics and the presence of asymptomatic cases. We then compare the simulation results of our three epidemiological models of interest against the daily reported COVID-19 case counts during the time period from 23rd January to 6th April 2020. Finally, we compare and evaluate on the performance and accuracy of the aforementioned models’ simulations.

Methods
Three epidemiological models are used to forecast the true growth of COVID-19 case counts by accounting for asymptomatic infections in Singapore. They are the exponential model, SEIR model with hospitalization dynamics (SEIHRD), and the SEIHRD model with inclusion of asymptomatic cases (SEAIHRD).

Results
Simulation results of all three models reflect underestimation of COVID-19 cases in Singapore during the early stages of the pandemic. At a 40% asymptomatic proportion, we report basic reproduction number R
0 = 3.28 and 3.74 under the SEIHRD and SEAIHRD models respectively. At a 60% asymptomatic proportion, we report R
0 = 3.48 and 3.96 under the SEIHRD and SEAIHRD models respectively.

Conclusions
Based on the results of different simulation scenarios, we are highly confident that the number of COVID-19 cases in Singapore was underestimated during the early stages of the pandemic. This is supported by the exponential increase of COVID-19 cases in Singapore as the pandemic evolved.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Activated coke was obtained by CO2 activation with disused fine blue-coke serving as the main raw material and direct coal liquefaction residue (DCLR) as binder. The effect of the dosage and activation temperature of DCLR on the compressive strength of active coke and desulfurization were mainly investigated. The experimental results showed that the compressive strength of the activated coke increased first and then decreased with the increase in the amount of D-DCLR (DCLR after ash removal). When the amount of D-DCLR was 40%, the compressive strength of the activated coke was 492.55 N and the specific surface area was the highest (189.78 m2·g−1) among other samples. The results show that the activated coke has a high removal rate for low concentrations of sulfur dioxide. This work provides a way for efficient utilization of DCLR, which avoids waste of resources and environmental pollution. In addition, it is important for finding green and efficient blue-coke powder processing and utilization technology for the sustainable development of the blue-coke industry.

Abstract

Objectives
X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) is characterized by adrenal insufficiency and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Herein, we report a rare case of X-linked AHC with central precocious puberty (CPP).

Case presentation
An 11-month-old male patient was found to have premature pubarche, enlargement of the penis, and frequent erection. LH and FSH levels after the GnRHa test were in the pubertal range. Direct sequencing revealed a heterozygous variant of the NR0B1 gene. The proband was treated with hydrocortisone and 9-alpha fludrocortisone because of the significantly elevated ACTH and renin activity. The secondary sexual characteristics relieved gradually. The serum testosterone and LH subsequently returned to the prepubertal range. The basal serum FSH values have been between 1.0 and 2.0 IU/L since the age of 2.25 years, with extremely low AMH levels beginning at 3 years.

Conclusions
The clinical course of CPP with NR0B1 variant may be temporary. HPG axis status of X-linked AHC may probably be pleomorphic during the longitudinal follow-up.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
The generic uniqueness of saddle point for two-person zero-sum differential games, within the class of open-loop, against the perturbation of the right-hand side function of the control system is investigated. By employing set-valued mapping theory, it is proved that the majority of the two-person zero-sum differential games have unique saddle point in the sense of Baire’s category.
SAXS measurements of azobenzene lipid vesicles reveal buffer-dependent photoswitching and quantitative Z→E isomerisation by X-rays

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Photoresponsive materials feature properties that can be adjusted by light near-instantaneously, reversibly, and with high spatiotemporal precision. There is considerable interest in maximising the degree of photoswitching, and in measuring this degree during illumination in complex environments. We study the switching of photoresponsive lipid membranes that allow for precise and reversible manipulation of membrane shape, permeability, and fluidity. Though these macroscopic responses are clear, it is unclear how large the changes of trans/cis ratio are, and whether they can be improved. Here, we used small-angle X-ray scattering to measure the thickness of photoswitchable lipid membranes, and we correlate lipid bilayer thickness to trans/cis ratios. This reveals an unexpected dependency of photoswitching ratio upon aqueous phase composition. In buffer with ionic strength, we observe thickness variations twice as large as previously observed. Furthermore, soft X-rays can quantitatively isomerise photolipid membranes to the all-trans state; enabling X-ray-based membrane control. High energy X-rays do not influence the state of the photoswitches, presumably because they deposit less dose in the sample.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are complex biological nanoparticles endogenously secreted by all eukaryotic cells. EVs carry a specific molecular cargo of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids derived from cells of origin and play a significant role in the physiology and pathology of cells, organs, and organisms. Upon release, they may be found in different body fluids that can be easily accessed via noninvasive methodologies. Due to the unique information encoded in their molecular cargo, they may reflect the state of the parent cell and therefore EVs are recognized as a rich source of biomarkers for early diagnostics involving liquid biopsy. However, body fluids contain a mixture of EVs released by different types of healthy and diseased cells, making the detection of the EVs of interest very challenging. Recent research efforts have been focused on the detection and characterization of diagnostically relevant subpopulations of EVs, with emphasis on label-free methods that simplify sample preparation and are free of interfering signals. Therefore, in this paper, we review the recent progress of the label-free optical methods employed for the detection, counting, and morphological and chemical characterization of EVs. We will first briefly discuss the biology and functions of EVs, and then introduce different optical label-free techniques for rapid, precise, and nondestructive characterization of EVs such as nanoparticle tracking analysis, dynamic light scattering, atomic force microscopy, surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and SERS spectroscopy. In the end, we will discuss their applications in the detection of neurodegenerative diseases and cancer and provide an outlook on the future impact and challenges of these technologies to the field of liquid biopsy via EVs.
Equity Return Expectations and Financial Wealth Holdings of U.S. Households

Published: April 2022

Abstract
This paper examines the association between stock market return expectations and financial wealth holdings of older adults using the 2016 wave of the Health and Retirement Study. Our study finds that less than 30% of individuals assigned a greater than 50% probability that the market will earn a positive nominal return in the following year. However, considerable heterogeneities were observed across racial/ethnic groups. Health status, the cognitive functioning of older adults, and expectations of positive stock market return were positively associated with greater financial wealth holdings among households. Our study also finds that older age, and being female were associated with a higher probability of expected equity returns in the following period. Health status, cognition, and equity return expectations were positively associated with the financial wealth holdings of households. African Americans, Hispanics, and other races were negatively associated with the probability of equity return expectations and financial wealth holdings when compared with the reference group of non-Hispanic Whites. Overall, this study contributes to the literature by applying a unique mathematically derived measure of future return expectations, and extends the literature on equity return expectations and the financial portfolios of households. The negative association between being African American or Hispanic and financial wealth holdings is concerning. The findings from this study inform policy makers, and underscore the need for prioritizing programs and policies that can be play a critical role in building human capital, in promoting financial capability, and in bridging the financial wealth gap for households belonging to the disadvantaged and underserved racial ethnic groups.

Na arheološkom lokalitetu Velika Mrdakovica tijekom višegodišnjih istraživanja nekropole i naselja pronađena su tek tri rimska ogledala, tj. njihovi dijelovi, jer ni jedno nije cjelovito. Dva su, mogli bismo reći, uobičajenih i popularnih formi (prema tipologiji G. Lloyd Morgan grupe A i K), dok je jedno atipično i luksuznije izrade, a najbliža mu je analogija na prostoru germanskog barbarikuma – ostava iz Hildesheima. Sva mrdakovička ogledala pripadaju vremenu 1. – 2 stoljeću poslije Krista i pored drugog materijala svjedok su žive trgovinske razmjene stanovništva Velike Mrdakovice sa, prije svega, sjevernoitalskim proizvodnim centrima, ali i drugim krajevima Carstva.

Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Children's motor skills are a critical foundation for physical activity. The objective was to determine the effectiveness and feasibility of a mobile app-based intervention delivered to parents to improve preschoolers’ motor skills.

METHODS
This randomized controlled trial randomly assigned children to : (1) Motor Skills, including instructional lessons, peer modeling videos, behavioral scaffolding, and structured activities or 2) Free Play. Both groups received a 12-week app-based intervention informed by social cognitive theory to deliver 12 hours (12-minutes per day, 5× per week) of instruction. The children were aged 3 to 5 y; parents and children had no mobility impairments. The primary outcome variables were children’s motor skills percentile score assessed with the Test of Gross Motor Development, third edition (TGMD-3) at baseline, end-of-intervention (week 12), and follow-up (week 24); and feasibility and acceptability.

RESULTS
Seventy-two children (4.0 ± 0.8 y) participated. Between baseline and week 12, children in the Motor Skills condition significantly improved total TGMD-3 percentile (+13.7 Motor Skills vs −5.3 Free Play, P &lt; .01), locomotor skills percentile (+15.5 Motor Skills vs −4.8 Free Play, P &lt; .01), and ball skills percentile (+8.3 Motor Skills vs −7.3 Free Play, P &lt; .01) compared with children in the comparator group. Significant differences were sustained at follow-up (week 24). Adherence did not significantly differ between conditions (71% for Motor Skills; 87% for Free Play). Parents in both arms reported high scores on satisfaction, helpfulness, and ease of use.

CONCLUSIONS
Clinicians and educators may encourage parents to enhance their child’s motor skills through structured at-home programs.
New insights into the role of phytopathogenic fungi vectored by pine bark beetles in pine decline
Authors: Davydenko Kateryna 
Published: April 2022

The study presented was carried out in response to the alarmingly increasing number of outbreaks of bark beetles and associated fungi in European forests including Ukraine. Our study was aimed to generate new knowledge on bark beetles and understand the possible role of vectored fungi. The obtained data can contribute to the increased knowledge and will allow adequately responsing to an expected intensification of bark beetle disturbances, as well as may allow better understanding tree diseases and how to cope with them. In total, eleven ophiostomatoid fungi (Graphium sp., Leptographium sosnaicola, Grosmannia olivacea, Grosmannia penicillata, Ophiostoma bicolor, O. ips, O. canum, O. piceae, O. minus, O. nigrocarpum Graphilbum rectangulosporium) were found here in association with five species of bark beetles (Hylurgus ligniperda, Hylastes ater, Hylastes angustatus, Ips acuminatus and Ips sexdentatus) on Scots pine trees infested by bark beetles. Scots pine seedlings were inoculated with ophiostomatoid fungi and sterile medium (control) to evaluate their pathogenicity. The inoculated seedlings were examined finally 6 months later after inoculation. Inoculation with Leptographium sosnaicola, Graphium sp and O. minus produced significantly large lesions and mortality of pine seedlings. In total, all the eight fungal-inoculated species caused resin exudation and staining on the bark around inoculations in Scots pine seedlings and different rate of the seedlings decline.
It can be concluded that the studied bark beetles are vectors for different functional groups of fungi including aggressive pathogens, and that ophiostomatoid fungi are the most closely associated symbionts. Moreover, high virulence fungi can help bark beetles to overcome the tree resistance and may significantly contribute to tree mortality.

СТАНОВЛЕНИЕ ОСНОВ АВТОРСКОГО ПРАВА И ЕГО ВЛИЯНИЕ НА РАЗВИТИЕ ПЕЧАТИ В РОССИЙСКОЙ ИМПЕРИИ
Authors: ПОТАПОВ Юрий Алексеевич 
Published: April 2022

В статье рассмотрены историко-правовые предпосылки зарождения и становления авторского права в Российской империи в XIX в. Проанализированы основные положения цензурных уставов указанного периода, в частности Свода уставов о цензуре 1857 г. Отмечено влияние зарубежного законодательства на содержание права и формирование кодификационных актов Российской империи. Это проявлялось в появлении новых отраслей права и правовых институтов, прежде всего таких, как авторское право, договорное право, наследственное право, право собственности на произведения наук, словесности, художеств и искусств, цензура, юридическая ответственность и др.
Реформирование права по романо-германскому (континентальному) образцу вызвало к жизни, ввело в правовой и научный оборот новую юридическую терминологию. Судебная и административная практика стала строиться на основе принимаемых и утверждаемых императорских указов, законов, кодексов (уложений, сводов, уставов), ведомственных циркуляров и инструкций.
В качестве целей и задач данного исследования определяются сравнительно-правовой анализ норм и положений имперского законодательства в сфере авторского и цензурного права, характеристики основных их институтов и способы применения санкций за нарушение.
К числу методов, применяемых при проведении исследования, относятся исторический, статистический, сравнительно-правовой и др.
Результаты проведенного исследования заключаются в выявлении закономерностей развития авторского права, изучении содержательных особенностей функционирования его институтов в период государственно-правовых реформ, их последующей эволюции.
Заложенные в рассматриваемый период основы авторского права развивались и нашли отражение в современном законодательстве, несмотря на его существенное изменение, в том числе под влиянием новых информационных технологий.
