description: Актуальность. Возрастная жизнеспособность относительно новое понятие, которое характеризует запас функционального и резервного пула у пациентов старшего возраста. Возрастную жизнеспособность составляют определенные домены, такие как когнитивный, двигательный, психологический, сенсорный и телесный. Однако периоды жизни и старения человека делятся на определенные социальные этапы. Цель. Изучить состояние доменов возрастной жизнеспособности у людей, вышедших на пенсию. Материал и методы. Нами было исследовано 106 людей пожилого возраста (средний возраст 66,1±1,2 лет), продолжающих работать по собственному желанию и работающих не менее 10 лет, и 104 человека пожилого возраста (средний возраст 66,7±1,2 лет), вышедших на пенсию 1 год назад. До выхода на пенсию люди также работали не менее 10 лет. Нами было изучено состояние доменов возрастной жизнеспособности по шкале ConnorDavidson Resilience Scale. Также нами был определен нейроиммуноэндокринный статус у исследуемых людей пожилого возраста. Оценка состояния сенсорных анализаторов проводилась с помощью шкалы ВАШ. Данные были обработаны с помощью современных мматематико-статистических методов, применяемых в медицинских исследованиях с помощью компьтерной программы Complete MATLAB Programming (США). Результаты. У людей, находящихся на пенсии, индивидуальная жизнеспособность снижается за счет снижения показателей когнитивного домена в 1,6 раз, двигательного домена в 1,2 раза и психологического домена в 0,9 раз. Наименьший вклад в снижение индивидульаной жизнеспособности у людей пожилого возраста, находящихся на пенсии, вносит снижение показателей сенсорного и телесного доменов. При нарушениях когнитивного и психологического доменов индивидуальной жизнеспособности у людей пожилого возраста, находящихся на пенсии, наблюдалось достоверное снижение уровня витамина D в 1,5 раза по сравнению с показателями у работающих людей пожилого возраста, что доказывает влияние уровня витамина D на когнитивный способности и развития психологических нарушений. Выводы. Достоверное увеличение активности хронического иммунного воспаления – повышение провоспалительного ответа и снижение противовоспалительных интерлейкинов сопряжены со снижением индивидуальной жизнеспособности, что важно учитывать при выявлении остаточных резервов (биологических констант), определении функционального резерва гериатрического пациента (общеклинический и нейроиммуноэндокринный статусы), разработке комплекса профилактических мер, направленных на повышение индивидуальной жизнеспособности у людей пожилого возраста, находящихся на пенсии.

title: Fiscal impact, immigration and productivity

description: Public and political concerns over the effects of immigration on the U.S. public finances heighten during recessions. The first chapter estimates the changes to the fiscal impact of immigration over the business cycle (2006 - 2018). I focus on the extensive margin - "how much more likely are immigrants to make and receive transfers from the government", and the intensive margin - "how much do immigrants contribute to the government balances". The likelihood that an immigrant receives individual benefits decreases (pro-cyclical) relative to a native during a downturn. The difference in the net contributions between immigrants and natives is consistently positive and increases post-2012. These dynamic changes over the business cycle are due to variations in the immigrant composition since immigrants are more likely to be positively selected during recessions. The second chapter proposes a simple way to address the endogeneity problem in tax multiplier studies. The endogeneity arises because lawmakers propose tax cuts in anticipation of a slowing economy, making it difficult to identify the causal impact of tax changes on aggregate output. Since only the legislated tax changes directly impact the economy, proposed tax changes that ultimately fail to become law can serve as a proxy for the unobserved output expectations of lawmakers. Using this proxy method and novel data on failed tax proposals, we obtain a tax multiplier of around -0.46 to -2.06 for the United States from 1975 to 2017. The final chapter studies the extent of the productivity gains in the IT-intensive manufacturing sector between 1980 and 2009. I use the methodology of Young (2014) to estimate the elasticity of average worker efficacy and changing labour allocations (+1.4) and use that to remeasure total factor productivity growth. The revised productivity measures provide some evidence that the lack of observed productivity gains is caused by the changing labour shares.

description: Актуальность. В здравоохранении Российской Федерации появилась проблема частой обращаемости пациентов старшего возраста за медицинской помощью с возраст-ассоциированными заболеваниями. Развитие синдрома старческой астении у лиц старшего возраста также увеличивается, что требует разработки программ для улучшения оказания гериатрической помощи. Пациенты старшего возраста являются гетерогенными с точки зрения развития и распространённости патологий. Цель. Изучить гетерогенность клинического течения синдрома старческой астении. Материалы и методы. В ходе исследования проведена оценка распространённости нарушений сердечного ритма у пациентов разного возраста. Для этого пациенты были поделены на группы согласно классификации возраста по ВОЗ: пациенты среднего возраста, n= 76 человек; пациенты пожилого возраста, n= 87 человек; пациенты старческого возраста, n= 86 человек. Оценка уровня хронического иммуного воспаления проводилась по вычислению уровня цитокинов (ИЛ-1альфа, ИЛ-10) на иммуноферметном анализаторе StatFax 2100. Для оценки уровня антирадикальной актиновности нами был использован ABTS+ радикал, который является метастабильным. Рекцию контролировали спектрофотометрически. Затем измеряли площадь активности в %. Чем больше площать активности, тем большее количество радикалов имеетсяч в организме, что свидетельствует о снижении антирадикальной активности. Результаты. Для пациентов старческого возраста характерно превалирование распространённости синдрома старческой астении по сравнению с пациентами пожилого возраста, что закономерно. По результатам проведенного нами исследования отмечено, что с возрастом увеличивается частота нарушений сердечного ритма, что соответствует общемедицинским закономерностям. У пациентов старшего возраста с нарушениями сердечного ритма и наличием синдрома старческой астении с точки зрения гетерогености синдрома старческой астении с превалированием двигательных нарушений был самый выраженный воспалительный фон и самая низкая антирадикальная активность по сравнению с пациентами старшего возраста с нарушениями сердечного ритма и наличием синдрома старческой астении с превалированием когнитивных нарушений или социальных проблем. Выводы. В ходе проведеного исследования нами были выявлены сильные положительные корреляционные связи между наличием синдрома старческой преастении/астении и нарушениями сердечного ритма, такими как фибрилляция предсердий (r=+0,88, p<0,05), синдром слабости синусового узла (r=+0,86, p<0,05) и синдром тахи-бради (r=+0,83, p<0,05), на фоне выраженного хронического иммуного воспаления и снижения антирадикальной активности при превалировании двигательного и когнитивного пулов гетерогенности синдрома старческой астении.

description: The current/traditional human health risk assessment paradigm is challenged by recent scientific and technical advances, and ethical demands. The current approach is considered too resource intensive, is not always reliable, can raise issues of reproducibility, is mostly animal based and does not necessarily provide an understanding of the underlying mechanisms of toxicity. From an ethical and scientific viewpoint, a paradigm shift is required to deliver testing strategies that enable reliable, animal-free hazard and risk assessments, which are based on a mechanistic understanding of chemical toxicity and make use of exposure science and epidemiological data. This shift will require a new philosophy, new data, multidisciplinary expertise and more flexible regulations. Re-engineering of available data is also deemed necessary as data should be accessible, readable, interpretable and usable. Dedicated training to build the capacity in terms of expertise is necessary, together with practical resources allocated to education. The dialogue between risk assessors, risk managers, academia and stakeholders should be promoted further to understand scientific and societal needs. Genuine interest in taking risk assessment forward should drive the change and should be supported by flexible funding. This publication builds upon presentations made and discussions held during the break-out session 'Advancing risk assessment science - Human health' at EFSA's third Scientific Conference 'Science, Food and Society' (Parma, Italy, 18ââą Ì21 September 2018). © 2019 European Food Safety Authority

description: Актуальность. По мнению ВОЗ нормальное старение определяется жизнеспособностью в сочетании со средой жизнедеятельности гериатрического пациента, что в совокупности и формирует его функциональные способности. Цель. Изучить клинические особенности когнитивной старческой астении у лиц пожилого возраста. Материалы и методы. В исследовании приняли участие 301 пациент, средний возраст которых составил 71,9±1,3года. Среди проживающих в доме-интернате изучена распространенность метаболического синдрома. Диагностика осуществлялась в соответствии с критериями, принятыми в 2005 году «Международной федерацией диабета». Применялись методы интервью, анализ медицинской документации, краткая шкала оценки психического состояния MMSE, шкала повседневной инструментальной активности ADL. Возрастная жизнеспособность респондентов оценивалась при помощи 10-пунктовой версии шкалы Коннера-Дэвидсона. Проведен анализ реабилитационных методик, предлагаемых пациентам с метаболическим синдромом. Результаты. В результате изучения распространенности феномена полиморбидности было выявлено, что метаболический синдром был диагностирован у 37,7% (n=115) пациентов. При изучении гериатрического статуса у исследуемых пожилых лиц в доме-интернате для пожилых и инвалидов выявлена более высокая распространенность основных гериатрических синдромов у людей с метаболическим синдромом по сравнению с пациентами, не имеющими такового. При этом доказано, что с увеличением тяжести метаболического синдрома достоверно ухудшается гериатрический статус пациентов, нарастает степень когнитивного дефицита, наблюдается достоверное снижение возрастной жизнеспособности по шкале Коннера-Девидсона. При проведении исследования выявлено, что из 115 пациентов пожилого возраста с метаболическим синдромом, находившихся в доме-интернате положительная динамика клинического состояния была отмечена у 48 больных (41,7±0,01%), отсутствие динамики – у 19 пациентов (16,5±0,02%), отрицательная динамика была зарегистрирована в 49 случаях, что составляло 42,7±0,02%. Заключение. Полученные данные убедительно демонстрируют необходимость изучения и разработки методов медико-социальной реабилитации, направленной на улучшение параметров когнитивной старческой астении и повышение возрастной жизнеспособности у пожилых больных с метаболическим синдромом.

description: In this paper, we present a method for calculation of spin groups elements for known pseudo-orthogonal group elements with respect to the corresponding two-sheeted coverings. We present our results using the Clifford algebra formalism in the case of arbitrary dimension and signature, and then explicitly using matrices, quaternions, and split-quaternions in the cases of all possible signatures (p,q) of space up to dimension n=p+q=3. The different formalisms are convenient for different possible applications in physics, engeneering, and computer science.

A Simple Approach to Control the Physical and Chemical Features of Custom-Synthesized N-Doped Carbon Nanotubes and the Extent of Their Network Formation in Polymers: The Importance of Catalyst to Substrate Ratio

description: This study intends to reveal the significance of the catalyst to substrate ratio (C/S) on the structural and electrical features of the carbon nanotubes and their polymeric nanocomposites. Here, nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube (N-MWNT) was synthesized via a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using three ratios (by weight) of iron (Fe) catalyst to aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) substrate, i.e.,1/9, 1/4, and 2/3, by changing the Fe concentration, i.e., 10, 20, and 40 wt.% Fe. Therefore, the synthesized N-MWNT are labelled as (N-MWNTs)₁₀, (N-MWNTs)₂₀, and (N-MWNTs)₄₀. TEM, XPS, Raman spectroscopy, and TGA characterizations revealed that C/S ratio has a significant impact on the physical and chemical properties of the nanotubes. For instance, by increasing the Fe catalyst from 10 to 40 wt.%, carbon purity increased from 60 to 90 wt.% and the length of the nanotubes increased from 1.2 to 2.6 µm. Interestingly, regarding nanotube morphology, at the highest C/S ratio, the N-MWNTs displayed an open-channel structure, while at the lowest catalyst concentration the nanotubes featured a bamboo-like structure. Afterwards, the network characteristics of the N-MWNTs in a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix were studied using imaging techniques, AC electrical conductivity, and linear and nonlinear rheological measurements. The nanocomposites were prepared via a melt-mixing method at various loadings of the synthesized N-MWNTs. The rheological results confirmed that (N-MWNTs)10, at 0.5–2.0 wt.%, did not form any substantial network through the PVDF matrix, thereby exhibiting an electrically insulative behavior, even at a higher concentration of 3.0 wt.%. Although the optical microscopy, TEM, and rheological results confirmed that both (N-MWNTs)₂₀ and (N-MWNTs)₄₀ established a continuous 3D network within the PVDF matrix, (N-MWNTs)₄₀/PVDF nanocomposites exhibited approximately one order of magnitude higher electrical conductivity. The higher electrical conductivity of (N-MWNTs)₄₀/PVDF nanocomposites is attributed to the intrinsic chemical features of (N-MWNTs)₄₀, such as nitrogen content and nitrogen bonding types.

description: When elementary quantum systems, such as polarized photons, are used to transmit digital information, the uncertainty principle gives rise to novel cryptographic phenomena unachievable with traditional transmission media, e.g. a communications channel on which it is impossible in principle to eavesdrop without a high probability of disturbing the transmission in such a way as to be detected. Such a quantum channel can be used in conjunction with ordinary insecure classical channels to distribute random key information between two users with the assurance that it remains unknown to anyone else, even when the users share no secret information initially. We also present a protocol for coin-tossing by exchange of quantum messages, which is secure against traditional kinds of cheating, even by an opponent with unlimited computing power, but ironically can be subverted by use of a still subtler quantum phenomenon, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox.

description: We provide a tight analysis of Grover's recent algorithm for quantum database searching. We give a simple closed-form formula for the probability of success after any given number of iterations of the algorithm. This allows us to determine the number of iterations necessary to achieve almost certainty of finding the answer. Furthermore, we analyse the behaviour of the algorithm when the element to be found appears more than once in the table and we provide a new algorithm to find such an element even when the number of solutions is not known ahead of time. Using techniques from Shor's quantum factoring algorithm in addition to Grover's approach, we introduce a new technique for approximate quantum counting, which allows to estimate the number of solutions. Finally we provide a lower bound on the efficiency of any possible quantum database searching algorithm and we show that Grover's algorithm nearly comes within a factor 2 of being optimal in terms of the number of probes required in the table.

description: A digital computer is generally believed to be an efficient universal computing device; that is, it is believed able to simulate any physical computing device with an increase in computation time of at most a polynomial factor. This may not be true when quantum mechanics is taken into consideration. This paper considers factoring integers and finding discrete logarithms, two problems which are generally thought to be hard on a classical computer and have been used as the basis of several proposed cryptosystems. Efficient randomized algorithms are given for these two problems on a hypothetical quantum computer. These algorithms take a number of steps polynomial in the input size, e.g., the number of digits of the integer to be factored.

description: International research has shown how trucking work has become increasingly precarious. This thesis builds on this international research by examining the work of truck drivers in China, with a particular focus on their working conditions, job quality, and truckers' well-being. I pay particular attention to how the organization of the trucking industry and the broader political economy of China impact trucking work. Using a qualitative research approach, I interviewed 22 truck drivers and examined relevant public documents. Based on the results of my research, and drawing on the political economy approach and the labor process theory, I show how the negative implications of the job on truckers' lives are linked to the organizational structure of their work. Truckers are in a weak position in their power dynamics with brokers, shippers, and the government, which exposes them to poor working conditions at every step of the labor process, and results in long waiting times, poor sleep quality, and fewer trips home. Furthermore, the organizational structure of trucking makes it difficult for them to maintain a stable income and possible to lose their jobs at any time.

description: Quantum computers use the quantum interference of different computational paths to enhance correct outcomes and suppress erroneous outcomes of computations. A common pattern underpinning quantum algorithms can be identified when quantum computation is viewed as multi-particle interference. We use this approach to review (and improve) some of the existing quantum algorithms and to show how they are related to different instances of quantum phase estimation. We provide an explicit algorithm for generating any prescribed interference pattern with an arbitrary precision.

description: Recently, the interest in extracellular vesicles released by bacteria has rapidly increased. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) have been involved in bacteria-bacteria and bacteria-host interactions, which strengthen health or bring about various pathologies. However, BEV separation, characterization, and functional studies require the establishment of guidelines and further optimization in order to stimulate the development of science in BEV research and a following successful transformation into clinical applications. This position paper is authored by the Microbial Vesicles Task Force of the Chinese Society for Extracellular Vesicles (CSEV) composed of experienced medical laboratory specialists, microbiologists, virologists, biologists and material biologists who are actively engaged in BEV research. Herein, we present a concise description of BEV research and discover challenges and critical gaps in current BEV-based analyses for clinical applications. Finally, we also offer suggestions and considerations to improve experimental reproducibility and interoperability in BEV research to promote progress in the field.

description: RESUMO

No Brasil, o Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep) é o responsável por promover estudos, pesquisas e avaliações sobre o sistema educacional do país. Dentre as várias avaliações que realiza, o Inep aplica o Exame Nacional de Desempenho de Estudantes (ENADE). A partir das análises dos dados produzidos pela aplicação desse exame, é possível observar o desempenho tanto do estudante quanto das instituições e, assim, calcular indicadores de qualidade que, dentro de um contexto, oportunizarão decisões de melhorias do processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Este trabalho apresenta uma análise do exame com foco no processo de desmotivação e motivação apresentadas pelos estudantes e IES – Instituições de Ensino Superior no processo avaliativo. No que diz respeito à metodologia, a pesquisa foi bibliográfica e seguiu a abordagem qualitativa. Articulando as pesquisas realizadas, construíram-se reflexões sobre o tema. Chegou-se à conclusão que a maioria dos alunos não se sente motivada para realizarem o exame e as IES não conseguem demonstrar para os discentes o quanto é importante a participação no processo avaliativo.

description: Changing weather patterns may impose increased risk to the creditworthiness of financial institutions in the agriculture sector. To reduce the credit risk caused by climate change, financial institutions need to update their agricultural lending portfolios to consider climate change scenarios. In this paper we introduce a framework to compute the optimal agricultural lending portfolio under different increased temperature scenarios. In this way we quantify the impact of increased temperature, taken as a measure of climate change, on credit risk. We provide a detailed case study of how our approach applies to the problem of optimizing a portfolio of agricultural loans made to corn farmers across different corn producing regions of Ontario, Canada, under various climate change scenarios. We conclude that the lending portfolio obtained by taking into account the climate change is less risky than the lending portfolio neglecting climate change.
