description: High precision multipole polarizabilities, $α_{\ell}$ for $\ell \le 4$ of the $1s$ ground state of the hydrogen isoelectronic series are obtained from the Dirac equation using the B-spline method with Notre Dame boundary conditions. Compact analytic expressions for the polarizabilities as a function of $Z$ with a relative accuracy of 10$^{-6}$ up to $Z = 100$ are determined by fitting to the calculated polarizabilities. The oscillator strengths satisfy the sum rules $\sum_i f^{(\ell)}_{0i} = 0$ for all multipoles from $\ell = 1$ to $\ell = 4$. The dispersion coefficients for the long-range H-H and H-He$^+$ interactions are given.

Legends

description: My paper at the Italian Academy's Fellows' Seminar focused on legends describing an episode in the life of Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), the famous Florentine poet. These, usually short, anecdotal stories begin to appear in manuscripts around the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. They narrate how Dante was supposedly accused of heresy by a member of the clergy. In some versions this person is an inquisitor, and in others a friar or even the pope himself. The story continues to describe how Dante managed to evade this accusation and to vindicate himself by writing a vernacular poem that not only proved beyond doubt the orthodoxy of his faith, but also established Dante's status as a paragon of lay-vernacular piety. All versions of this legend are followed by the poem Dante allegedly wrote as his doctrinal defense - a pseudo-Dantean text aptly titled Credo di Dante, whose real author was Antonio Beccari da Ferrara (1315-c.1373).

Educational technology

description: Online learning has generated much enthusiasm for its potential to promote greater access to college by reducing the cost and time of commuting and, in the case of asynchronous approaches, by allowing students to study on a schedule that is optimal for them. The enthusiasm surrounding these and other innovative, technology-based programs has led educators to ask whether the continuing expansion of online learning could be leveraged to increase the academic access, progression, and success of low-income and underprepared college students. However, this review of the postsecondary literature on online learning strongly suggests that online coursework--at least as currently and typically implemented--may hinder progression for low-income and underprepared students. The paper explores why students might struggle in these courses, discusses current access barriers to online education, and offers suggestions on how public policy and institutional practice could be changed to allow online learning to better meet its potential in terms of improving both college access and student progression.

Economics

description: During the recent three decades, 1980~2010, the Japanese economy has experienced a period of rapid growth followed by two stagnant decades with serious financial distress and continuous deflation. In this process, Japan established a strong base for manufacturing industries in the world but could not handle the external shocks—the Plaza Accord, the rise of China, the Asian financial Crisis and the 2008 Financial Crisis—and adjust its economy to the dramatic changes in the energy/resources and financial markets. This paper sums up the representative views of Japanese economists on these problems and then presents the author‘s own opinions. A sharp and continuous decline of economic growth was caused not only by external events but also aggravated by the mismanagement of private and public agencies, particularly in the financial sector. The author relies on a number of outstanding works by Japanese and foreign economies like Mitsuo Saito (1927-2010), The Japanese Economy, WSPC, 2000; 3 volumes edited by Fumio Hayashi, Positive Analysis and Design of Economic Institutions (J). Keiso Shobo, 2007, besides his own studies: Political Economy of Japanese and Asian Development, Springer-Verlag and Sobun-sha, 2003, and other essays. One important work is Tadao Kagono, The Spirit of Management (J), Japan Productivity Center Pub. Co., 2010 which pointed out that the Japanese government made a mistake in reforming the Corporation law, at the suggestion of the US government, to change the behavior patterns of Japanese entrepreneurs toward less risk-taking when more out-ward-looking behaviors are required in this uncertain world nowadays, and lost the precious traditional spirit of Japanese-style management. All other important references are given at the end of the paper with a statistical appendix.

description: Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic raises significant challenges on accessibility of people to healthcare services especially assessing the primary healthcare services. The accessibility to public primary health care facilities can be measured through availability, utilisation and timeliness indicators. This paper aims to describe the methods used in assessing the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the accessibility of public primary health care services in Malaysia. Methodology: The accessibility's domains and indicators were derived from the literatures and refined following stakeholders' engagement and consideration of data availability. Data on various services provided for January 2019 to June 2021 was retrieved using multiple databases at national, programme and state levels covering a total of 1131 public primary care clinics nationwide. Results: A total of 20 access indicators were identified to represent the three accessibility domains: (i) Availability (3 indicators; number of primary care facilities, opening hours and new services available); (ii)Utilisation (14 indicators; number of outpatient, laboratory test, X-ray, home visits, antenatal care, woman health care, postnatal care, postnatal care visit (> 2 times in 1 - 7 days of birth), gestational period at first time visits, women receiving oral or injectable contraception, child health care and vaccination (DTaP (booster), MR&DT(7 years old), HPV(13 years old) and (iii) Timeliness (3 indicators; defaulter rate for appointment of outpatient, maternal and child health. Conclusion: The methodology provides primary care accessibility trend and identify services that have been significantly affected during COVID-19 pandemic thus highlighting areas where more researches should be focused on and where improvement is required.

Einfluss von amorphem Kalziumphosphat auf verschiedene Adhäsivsysteme (in vitro)
Creators: name: Peters, Richarda

Subjects: subject: 610

description: Zahnpasten mit amorphem Kalziumphosphat (ACP) haben viele positive Eigenschaften, so auch Kariesprävention. Sie lagern Apatitkristalle amorph der Zahnoberfläche auf. Auch verwenden Zahnärzte häufig Adhäsivsysteme. Der Haftmechanismus beruht auf mikromechanischer Verzahnung mit angeätzten Oberflächen der Zähne. Dabei könnte das Ätzmuster durch Pflege der Zähne mit ACP-haltiger Zahncreme modifiziert sein. Daher ist Ziel dieser in-vitro-Studie zu prüfen, ob ACP die Haftkraft der Adhäsivsysteme beeinflusst. Dazu wurden die Universaladhäsive Futurabond®U (Voco) und Xeno®Select (Dentsply) je im SelfEtch- sowie Etch&Rinse- Modus an Schmelz- und Dentinproben getestet. Dabei wurde je die Hälfte der Proben mit ACP vorbehandelt. Dann erfolgte der Zugversuch mit Grandio®SO (Voco), als Komposit. Bei drei Versuchsgruppen zeigten sich signifikante Unterschiede zwischen unbehandelten Proben und der Vorbehandlung mit ACP. Generell ist aber der Haftverbund nicht völlig behindert. Um die Beeinflussung durch ACP auszuschließen, kann empfohlen werden, die mit Adhäsivsystemen zu behandelnde Oberfläche mit rotierenden Instrumenten anzufrischen.
description: Toothpaste with amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) has many good characteristics, for example caries prevention. It supports apatit crystals to tooth surfaces. Furthermore dentists often use adhesive systems. The adhesive mechanism based on micromechanical gearing with the etched surfaces of tooth. The etching pattern might be modified by brushing with ACP- toothpaste. The aim of this in- vitro- study is to find out, if ACP influences the adhesive bond strength. Therefore the universal bonds Futurabond®U (Voco) and Xeno®Select (Dentsply) are used in SelfEtch- and Etche&Rinse- mode on probes of dentine and enamel. The half of them is brushed with ACP before testing with tensile test using Grandio®SO (Voco) as matching composite. Three of the experimental groups showed significant differences between unpretreated probes and brushing with ACP before testing. It doesn`t interfere the bond strength completely. To exclude influence, surfaces should be treated with rotating instrument for freshening.

By exploiting certain functional relations at roots of unity, we derive a generalized form of T-Q relation involving more than one independent Q(u), which we use to propose the Bethe-ansatz-type expressions for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix. At most two of the boundary parameters are set to be arbitrary and the bulk anisotropy parameter has values η= iπ/2, iπ/4,... We also provide numerical evidence for the completeness of the Bethe-ansatz-type solutions derived, using s = 1 case as an example.

description: The purpose of Information on Artists III: Special Focus New York City Aging Artists (IOAIII Aging) is to understand how artists-who often reach artistic maturity and increased artistic satisfaction as they age-are supported and integrated within their communities and how their network structures change over time. Past evidence shows that as people age, they often become more isolated from each other, making it difficult for organizations to serve them both individually and as a group. While artists have a long history of self-sustaining mechanisms sometimes outside the mainstream system, the aging process poses particular challenges that artists themselves may no longer be able to meet. At a time when many artists are maturing in their art, such needs range from adequate healthcare and retirement savings to realizing the outcome of one's career expectations and finding a community of colleagues and a stimulating environment where creative work can be nurtured. This study by the Research Center for Arts and Culture (RCAC) at Columbia University's Teachers College, provides the first needs assessment of aging artists in the New York Metro Area.
Reforming Mathematics Classroom Pedagogy: Evidence-Based Findings and Recommendations for the Developmental Math Classroom

description: For developmental education students, rates of developmental math course completion and persistence into required college-level math courses are particularly low. This Brief examines the evidence base on reforming mathematics classroom pedagogy, which may be a potential means for improving the course completion and learning outcomes of developmental mathematics students. Each study examined was classified into one of six sets: student collaboration, metacognition, problem representation, application, understanding student thinking, and computer-based learning. Because most of the studies across the sets did not employ rigorous methods, the evidence regarding the impact of these instructional practices on student outcomes is inconclusive. Nevertheless, analysis of the studies that did employ rigorous designs suggests that structured forms of student collaboration and instructional approaches that focus on problem representation may improve math learning and understanding. This Brief concludes by making a number of methodological recommendations, proposing several needed areas of research, and suggesting instructional practices that may improve the outcomes of developmental math students.
A Novel Method to Identify AGNs Based on Emission Line Excess and the Nature of Low-luminosity AGNs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: II - Nature of Low-luminosity AGNs

description: We develop a novel method to identify active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and study the nature of low-luminosity AGNs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This is the second part of a series of papers and we study the correlations between the AGN activities and host galaxy properties. Based on a sample of AGNs identified with the new method developed in Paper-I, we find that AGNs typically show extinction of tau_V=1.2 and they exhibit a wide range of ionization levels. The latter finding motivates us to use [OII]+[OIII] luminosity as an indicator of AGN power. We find that AGNs are preferentially located in massive, red, early-type galaxies. By carefully taking into account a selection bias of the Oxygen-excess method, we show that strong AGNs are located in actively star forming galaxies and rapidly growing super-massive black holes are located in rapidly growing galaxies, which clearly shows the co-evolution of super-massive black holes and the host galaxies. This is a surprising phenomenon given that the growths of black holes and host galaxies occur at very different physical scales. Interestingly, the AGN power does not strongly correlate with the host galaxy mass. It seems that mass works like a 'switch' to activate AGNs. The absence of AGNs in low-mass galaxies might be due the absence of super-massive black holes in those galaxies, but a dedicated observation of nuclear region of nearby low-mass galaxies would be necessarily to obtain deeper insights into it.

description: At the beginning of World War I, Russian political parties found themselves in deep crisis. In contrast, the State Duma had become the epicenter of the country’s political life. The “Holy Alliance” established between the authorities and society was only a temporary break in the confrontation between government and parliamentary opposition. The political struggle renewed in the spring of 1915, resulting in the founding of the Progressive Bloc, and the confrontation reached its peak in the period of “the attack on the government,” leading to the February Revolution of 1917. Developments within the country as well as constant military tension strengthened the leftists’ position. The renewal of party political life in March to October 1917 culminated in out-and-out confrontation between the parties and the fall of the Provisional Government.

description: Inward foreign direct investment (IFDI) has long been an important feature of the Singapore economy, and Singapore remains an attractive host to FDI. Apart from a brief decline in 2002, FDI inflows have generally been strong in the decade 2000-2010. They reached a peak in 2007 at US$ 37 billion, just before the global financial and economic crisis of 2008-2009. In 2008, inflows declined sharply to US$ 8.6 billion, before rapidly rebounding to reach US$ 38 billion in 2010. Singapore has moved from an economy primarily involved in manufacturing consumer goods in labor-intensive industries in the 1960s, to one producing high value-added goods and a variety of complex services in the 2000s. Investment policies have evolved to attract high-value added industries as well as targeted cluster activities, including those in biomedical sciences, logistics and research and development (R&D). At the end of 2010, the stock of FDI in Singapore stood at US$ 470 billion. In recent times, the Netherlands, the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom have been the top sources of FDI in Singapore. Environmental policies are increasingly emphasized in the regulation as well as attraction of business activity, including by foreign MNEs.

description: This paper shows the transformation and subsequent preservation of Russian funeral traditions in wartime by examining attitudes towards the deceased and death itself, the ordeal of loss, the expression of grief, rituals of mourning and burial, and the forms these took both at the front and at home during the First World War. There is clear continuity from the pre-war period to the culture of mourning, funeral traditions and mourning rituals performed during WWI. At the same time, a “disproportionate” culture of mourning and rituals emerged – the minimization and vulgarization of death at the front compensated by overblown symbolic pageantry of spectacular official funeral rituals at home.

description: INTRODUCTION: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic remains a threat to public health. Soon after its outbreak, it became apparent that children are less severely affected. Indeed, opposing clinical manifestations between children and adults are observed for other infections. The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak provides the unique opportunity to study the underlying mechanisms. This protocol describes the methods of an observational study that aims to characterise age dependent differences in immune responses to primary respiratory infections using SARS-CoV-2 as a model virus and to assess age differences in clinical outcomes including lung function. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The study aims to recruit at least 120 children and 60 adults that are infected with SARS-CoV-2 and collect specimen for a multiomics analysis, including single cell RNA sequencing of nasal epithelial cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, mass cytometry of whole blood samples and nasal cells, mass spectrometry-based serum and plasma proteomics, nasal epithelial cultures with functional in vitro analyses, SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing, sequencing of the viral genome and lung function testing. Data obtained from this multiomics approach are correlated with medical history and clinical data. Recruitment started in October 2020 and is ongoing. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin (EA2/066/20). All collected specimens are stored in the central biobank of Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and are made available to all participating researchers and on request.

We work both in a simple phenomenological theory with a massive vector field, and in an N=4, d=6 gauged supergravity theory, which can be consistently embedded in string theory. These flows offer some further insight into holography for Lifshitz geometries: in particular, they enable us to give a description of the field theory dual to the Lifshitz solutions in the latter theory. We also note that some of the AdS and Lifshitz solutions in the N=4, d=6 gauged supergravity theory are dynamically unstable.

description: Der Sonicare AirFloss (SA) wurde hinsichtlich seiner Plaque- und Entzündungsreduktion getestet. 69 Probanden zwischen 18 und 35 Jahren (Altersdurchschnitt 25 Jahre, 68,1% w) verwendeten in dieser randomisierten, einseitig verblindeten Studie im Splitmouth-Design vier Wochen eine vorgegebene Handzahnbürste (Curaprox Ultrasoft 5460) und verzichteten auf interdentale Hilfsmittel. Auf der Testseite wurde zusätzlich einmal täglich mit dem SA (mit Wasser befüllt) gereinigt. Zu Versuchsbeginn und nach vier Wochen wurden Sondiertiefen (ST), Attachmentverlust (CAL), Gingivalindex nach Löe und Silness (GI) und Plaqueindex nach Silness und Löe (PI) erhoben. Die Probanden bewerteten Reinigungswirkung, Handhabung, Zeitaufwand und Nebenwirkungen im Vergleich zu Zahnseide (ZS) / Interdentalbürsten (IDB). GI und PI verschlechterten sich auf der Test- und Kontrollseite signifikant (p<0,0001). Die ST zeigten auf der Testseite signifikant bessere Ergebnisse. CAL verschlechterte sich auf der Kontroll- nicht aber auf der Testseite signifikant, wobei die Anwendungsseiten sich nicht signifikant unterschieden. Die Reinigungswirkung des SA wurde von 54,2% als schlechter, die Anforderungen an die manuelle Geschicklichkeit (81,4%) und den Zeitaufwand (78,0%) als geringer und Nebenwirkungen als gleich häufig (50,8%) im Vergleich zu ZS/IDB eingeschätzt. Der SA hat im Vergleich zu unterlassener Interdentalraumreinigung bei jungen Erwachsenen einen positiven Effekt auf ST.
description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the Sonicare AirFloss (SA) due to its effect of reducing plaque and gingival inflammation. In this randomised, single-blinded, splitmouth designed study 69 subjects between the age of 18 and 35 (average 25 years, 68,1% f) used a defined manual toothbrush (Curaprox Ultrasoft 5460) over a four week period without using any interdental devices. On one section (test side) of the mouth the SA (filled with water) was additionally used once daily. At the beginning and after four weeks of use probing depths (ST), attachment loss (CAL), gingival bleeding index (GI) and plaque index (PI) were recorded. Furthermore the subjects estimated efficacy, handling, time needed for application and side effects in comparison to dental floss (DF) and interdental brush (IDB). GI and PI increased singnificantly on test and control side (p<0.0001). ST showed significantly better results on test side. CAL increased significantly on control side but not on test side, whereas test and control side did not differ significantly. SA was estimated by 54.2% of the subjects as less effective in comparison to DF/IDB, whereas handling was found to be easier (81.4%), time needed for application less (78.8%) and side effects equally common (50.8%). In young adults SA has a positive effect on ST in comparison to none interdental cleaning.

Educational tests and measurements

description: Placement exams are high-stakes assessments that determine many students' college trajectories. The majority of community colleges use placement exams—most often the ACCUPLACER, developed by the College Board, or the COMPASS, developed by ACT, Inc.—to sort students into college-level or developmental education courses in math, reading, and sometimes writing. More than half of entering students at community colleges are placed into developmental education in at least one subject as a result. But the evidence on the predictive validity of these tests is not as strong as many might assume, given the stakes involved—and recent research fails to find evidence that the resulting placements into remediation improve student outcomes. While this has spurred debate about the content and delivery of remedial coursework, it is possible that the assessment process itself may be broken; the debate about remediation policy is incomplete without a fuller understanding of the role of assessment. This Brief examines the role of developmental assessment, the validity of the most common assessments currently in use, and emerging directions in assessment policy and practice. Alternative methods of assessment—particularly those involving multiple measures of student preparedness—seem to have the potential to improve student outcomes, but more research is needed to determine what type of change in assessment and placement policy might improve persistence and graduation rates. The Brief concludes with a discussion of implications for policy and research.

description: Nuclear effective interactions are often modelled by simple analytical expressions such as the Skyrme zero-range force. This effective interaction depends on a limited number of parameters that are usually fitted using experimental data obtained from doubly magic nuclei. It was recently shown that many Skyrme functionals lead to the appearance of instabilities, in particular when symmetries are broken, for example unphysical polarization of odd-even or rotating nuclei. In this article, we show how the formalism of the linear response in infinite nuclear matter can be used to predict and avoid the regions of parameters that are responsible for these unphysical instabilities.

description: Recent cryptanalytic attacks have exposed the vulnerabilities of some widely used cryptographic hash functions like MD5 and SHA-1. Attacks in the line of differential attacks have been used to expose the weaknesses of several other hash functions like RIPEMD, HAVAL. In this paper we propose a new efficient hash algorithm that provides a near random hash output and overcomes some of the earlier weaknesses. Extensive simulations and comparisons with some existing hash functions have been done to prove the effectiveness of the BSA, which is an acronym for the name of the 3 authors.

description: Pandemic influenza and other large scale communicable disease outbreaks pose a unique public safety concern in respect to transit and emergency planning. While local transit agencies, supported by federal funds, have identified disaster planning and response as critical to maintaining continuity of service and quality of life, most plans contend solely with event-based scenarios such as responding to natural hazards and manmade disasters. A pandemic is particularly challenging, given no discrete event but a slow accumulation of organizational and social disruption. Contending with second order consequences and of the long-term effects of an influenza pandemic is of equal importance in city planning and operations. A major objective for City of New York and the Metropolitan Transit Authority will be to mitigate the effects of second order consequences. Pre-planning and connecting the public and employees to those plans will serve to minimize concerns and aid in the continuity of transit usage, service delivery and potentially minimize negative economic, social and political impacts.
Kinetics of self-induced aggregation of Brownian particles: non-Markovian and non-Gaussian features

description: In this paper we have studied a model for self-induced aggregation in Brownian particle incorporating the non-Markovian and non-Gaussian character of the associated random noise process. In this model the time evolution of each individual is guided by an over-damped Langevin equation of motion with a non-local drift resulting from the local unbalance distributions of the other individuals. Our simulation result shows that colored nose can induce the cluster formation even at large noise strength. Another observation is that critical noise strength grows very rapidly with increase of noise correlation time for Gaussian noise than non Gaussian one. However, at long time limit the cluster number in aggregation process decreases with time following a power law. The exponent in the power law increases remarkable for switching from Markovian to non Markovian noise process.

description: We report a highly unusual temperature dependence in the magnetoresistance of a weakly interacting high mobility 2D electron gas (2DEG) under a parallel magnetic field and when the current is perpendicular to the field. While the linear temperature dependence below 10 K and the exponential temperature dependence above 40 K agree with existing theory of electron-phonon scattering, a field induced resistivity saturation behaviour characterized by an almost complete suppression of the temperature dependence is observed from approximately 20 to 40 K, which is in sharp contrast to the phenomenology observed when the current is parallel to the field. Possible origins of this intriguing intermediate temperature phenomenon are discussed.

description: Background and Purpose

Previous studies have noted changes in resting-state functional connectivity during motor recovery following stroke. However, these studies always uncover various patterns of motor recovery. Moreover, subgroups of stroke patients with different outcomes in hand function have rarely been studied.

Materials and Methods

We selected 24 patients who had a subcortical stroke in the left motor pathway and displayed only motor deficits. The patients were divided into two subgroups: completely paralyzed hands (CPH) (12 patients) and partially paralyzed hands (PPH) (12 patients). Twenty-four healthy controls (HC) were also recruited. We performed functional connectivity analysis in both the ipsilesional and contralesional primary motor cortex (M1) to explore the differences in the patterns between each pair of the three diagnostic groups.

Results

Compared with the HC, the PPH group displays reduced connectivity of both the ipsilesional and contralesional M1 with bilateral prefrontal gyrus and contralesional cerebellum posterior lobe. The connectivity of both the ipsilesional and contralesional M1 with contralateral primary sensorimotor cortex was reduced in the CPH group. Additionally, the connectivity of the ipsilesional M1 with contralesional postcentral gyrus, superior parietal lobule and ipsilesional inferior parietal lobule was reduced in the CPH group compared with the PPH group. Moreover, the connectivity of these regions was positively correlated with the Fugl-Meyer Assessment scores (hand+wrist) across all stroke patients.

Conclusions

Patterns in cortical connectivity may serve as a potential biomarker for the neural substratum associated with outcomes in hand function after subcortical stroke.
Partially traced categories

description: This paper deals with questions relating to Haghverdi and Scott's notion of partially traced categories. The main result is a representation theorem for such categories: we prove that every partially traced category can be faithfully embedded in a totally traced category. Also conversely, every symmetric monoidal subcategory of a totally traced category is partially traced, so this characterizes the partially traced categories completely. The main technique we use is based on Freyd's paracategories, along with a partial version of Joyal, Street, and Verity's Int-construction.

description: In pre-war South East Europe, both civilian and military powers focused on the creation of independent national states and the reclamation of imperial ''irredenta''. This goal, aggressively pursued, created serious regional tension between imperial and national states, between conflicting national programmes (especially those of Bulgaria and Serbia), and even between civilian and military power sources ''within ''states themselves. During the First World War, these conflicts intensified and were played out under occupation and in exile and emigration, in some cases to their conclusion (by the end of the war or its immediate aftermath), in other cases not (e.g. Bulgaria). This article shows how civil and military relations during the First World War represent a continuation of conflicting state-building goals in the context of the World War, as well as a continuation of the prominent role played by both civil and military powers in these state-building projects.

The European Investment Bank and SMEs: Key Lessons for Latin America and the Caribbean

description: This paper discusses the engagement of the European Investment Bank Group (EIB Group) with the financing and support of SMEs, both within the European Union (EU) as well as EU Candidate Countries and the Balkans. Indeed, lending and providing financial support to SMEs is one of the key core objectives of the EIB Group. The main focus of the paper is to describe and analyse the practises and experiences of the EIB Group in this field, to discuss the key lessons and to make policy recommendations to be considered within the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) context. The large role played by the EIB Group in financing SMEs in Europe shows the significance of the role the public sector needs to, and can, play in providing direct financial support to SMEs - as well as helping catalyse private financing to them, for example via bank guarantees and other risk-sharing instruments - given the large market imperfections and gaps in private financial markets for SMEs, particularly credit markets. This is the case in general, but has become particularly evident in the crisis, where the EIB Group has played an important countercyclical role in credit provision, in the face of sharply falling private credit to SMEs. It is noteworthy that the valuable role that public financial institutions need to play has been increasingly recognized since the crisis at the level of multilateral development banks (MDBs) and regional development banks (RDBs). It is important that similar conclusions are also applied to national development banks.
