description: In the fall of 2019, during the in-flight calibration phase of the SRG observatory, the onboard eROSITA and Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescopes carried out a series of observations of PG 1634+706 - one of the most luminous (an X-ray luminosity $\sim 10^{46}$ erg/s) quasars in the Universe at $z<2$. Approximately at the same dates this quasar was also observed by the XMM-Newton observatory. Although the object had already been repeatedly studied in X-rays previously, its new observations allowed its energy spectrum to be measured more accurately in the wide range $1-30$ keV (in the quasar rest frame). Its spectrum can be described by a two-component model that consists of a power-law continuum with a slope $Γ\approx 1.9$ and a broadened iron emission line at an energy of about 6.4 keV. The X-ray variability of the quasar was also investigated. On time scales of the order of several hours (here and below, in the source rest frame) the X-ray luminosity does not exhibit a statistically significant variability. However, it changed noticeably from observation to observation in the fall of 2019, having increased approximately by a factor of 1.5 in 25 days. A comparison of the new SRG and XMM-Newton measurements with the previous measurements of other X-ray observatories has shown that in the entire 17-year history of observations of the quasar PG 1634+706 its X-ray luminosity has varied by no more than a factor of 2.5, while the variations on time scales of several weeks and several years are comparable in amplitude.

description: Andersson M., Klaesson J. and Larsson J. P. How local are spatial density externalities? Neighbourhood effects in agglomeration economies, Regional Studies. The geographic scale at which density externalities operate is analysed in this paper. Using geocoded high-resolution data, the analysis is focused on exogenously determined within-city squares (‘neighbourhoods’) of 1 km2. The analysis confirms a city-wide employment density–wage elasticity and an economically significant density–wage elasticity at the neighbourhood level that attenuate sharply with distance. Panel estimates over 20 years suggest a neighbourhood density–wage elasticity of about 3%, while the city-wide elasticity is about 1%. It is argued that the neighbourhood level is more prone to capture learning, e.g. through knowledge and information spillovers. This interpretation is supported by (1) significantly larger neighbourhood elasticities for university educated workers and (2) sharper attenuation with distance of the effect for such workers.

description: Brakman S., Garretsen H. and Oumer A. Town twinning and German city growth, Regional Studies. After the Second World War, town twinning became popular, notably in Germany. This was mainly a reaction to the war experience, and it was initially aimed at creating renewed international understanding and cooperation between former enemies. It also reduced transaction costs. The results show that counties that engage in town twinning grow faster than cities that do not have twinning partners. In particular, both the number and the intensity of twinning relations as well as town twinning with French cities positively affect city growth. Positive population growth effects of town twinning are also mostly confined to the larger German cities.

description: Context: East Asia is a crucial region in the global methane (CH4) budget, with significant contributions from the livestock sector. However, the long-term trend and spatial pattern of CH4 emissions from livestock in this region have not been fully assessed.Methods: Here, we estimate CH4 emissions from 10 categories of livestock in East Asia during 1961 – 2019 following the Tier 2 approaches suggested by the 2019 Refinement to the IPCC 2006 Guidelines.Results: livestock-sourced CH4 emission in 2019 was 13.22 [11.42 – 15.01] (mean [minimum%maximum of 95– confidence interval] Tg CH4 yr-1, accounting for an increase of 231% since 1961. The contribution of slaughtered populations to total emissions increased from 3% in 1961 to 24% in 2019. Spatially, the emission hotspots were mostly distributed in eastern China, South Korea, and parts of Japan, but they tend to shift northward after 2000.Conclusion: It is necessary to use dynamic emission factors and include slaughtered populations in the estimation of livestock CH4 emissions. Regions including Northern China, Mongolia, and South Korea deserve more attention in future CH4 mitigation efforts.

description: Drywall board-based structures, a competent and cost-effective method of providing flexible partitioning assemblies in commercial and residential houses, are now widely used as walls or ceilings. However, the gypsum-based drywall that has been used in construction is not water-resistant and can create problems such as mold growth and structural defects. The aim of this study is 1) to develop a new sandwich panel with better physical and mechanical properties using locally sourced materials 2) to investigate the long-term hygrothermal performance of the new sandwich panel through using a numerical simulation. The sandwich panel is composed of two different thicknesses of kraft-paper honeycomb core bonded to two cementitious panels with silicone-based adhesive. The experimental results show that the sandwich panel with a thicker core has lower thermal conductivity and higher flexural strength compared to the gypsum-based drywall. The heat and moisture performance of two wall structures were performed using the WUFI Pro simulation program. The results of the modeling analysis present that wall assembly with gypsum-based drywall has higher water content than multilayer sandwich panel. In addition, the multilayer sandwich panel shows a 4.6% lower annual heat flow compared to the reference wall.

description: The increased number of video recordings circulating in the media that depict police officers exercising excessive use of force has led to recommendations to equip police officers with body worn cameras. Because a camera’s point of view may influence viewers’ perceptions and understanding of the recorded events, the angle at which a police use of force encounter is recorded may have important consequences. My program of research aimed to understand how various camera angles can impact interpretations of a police use of force scenario. A simulated police use of force incident was video recorded at three different camera angles (body worn camera, security camera, bystander camera). Study 1 (n = 330) examined factors that contribute to interpretations of the scenario such as camera angle, pre-existing attitudes about police, and information processing style. Results showed that camera angle did not have a general impact on viewer’s judgment of the scenario. However, pre-existing biases about the police and legal system guided interpretations of the scenario, and individuals who viewed the bystander video angle of the scenario rated the police officer more favourably when they endorsed positive attitudes about the police. In addition, a high need for cognition increased the likelihood of making judgments in line with participants’ attitudes about police. Study 2 (n = 576) examined the legal implications of video evidence in a depiction of a trial in which a police officer has been accused of assaulting and causing bodily harm to a complainant. Participants exposed to trial information without video evidence found the police officer less credible and more responsible for the complainant’s injury, and were more likely to recommend a guilty verdict and harsher punishment for the police officer. Individuals who were presented with trial information that included the body worn camera video evidence viewed the police officer as less credible. Attitudes and beliefs about the police and the legal system influenced decisions made regarding the police officer’s credibility, responsibility, and legal recommendations. Overall, camera perspective had an impact on interpretations of police use of force videos, but only when considering pre-existing attitudes about police, and video evidence in a criminal trial regarding police use of force impacted judgements. I discuss various practical implications of relying on police use of force videos, and present directions for future research.

description: Stelder D. Regional accessibility trends in Europe: road infrastructure, 1957–2012, Regional Studies. This paper describes the construction and analysis of a historical database of European road networks over the period 1957–2012 covering the whole European continent. Road accessibility is analysed over time for cities, regions and countries using a high-resolution population grid. The results show that many peripheral regions have lost accessibility relative to the centre during the first periods, but have been catching up after 1990. The general result of road infrastructure investment policy has been a spreading effect on accessibility since 1970.
Literal-Functional Analysis of Political Speeches and the Case of Political Lexical Creation

description: The field of Translation Studies (TS) has witnessed a shift from the focus on the transference of words, to the focus on the structure of the language and the culture of its users. The shift began with the works of Jakobson, Nida, Newmark, Vinay and Darbelnet, among others. However, and not very long after the mentioned shift, a new shift has been witnessed with the works of Reiss, Holz-Mänttäri, Vermeer, House, and Baker, among others, who focused on the context and function of the Source Text (ST). Nonetheless, the field has witnessed a third turn that shifted the whole field into a new level to fit the complexity of life, and of both language and translation. This turn was prominent in the 1990s and was called the ‘Cultural Turn in TS.’ The cultural Turn has turned the focus on the Target Text (TT) and Target Reader (TR) instead of on the ST and Source Reader (SR). The Cultural Turn focuses on, inter alia, the purpose of the text, publishing agency of the TT, translation norms and laws, rewriting, context, target message, gender, power relations, and ideology. The turn was initiated first by Toury, Hermans, Lambert, Baker, Simon, Bassnett, Venuti, Berman, Lewis, Pound, and Lefevere with their Descriptive and Post-Colonial Studies in the field in the early 1970s –1990s. Politics and political texts has gained and are still gaining broad attention from both scholars and researchers. This can be attributed to the fact that translation is the basic and strongest mean used by politicians. Political texts and their functions are many, but this paper sheds the light on one type of texts, namely: Political Speeches. The paper tries to answer questions related to the translation of political speeches by analysing King Muhammad VI speech on the 46th anniversary of ‘Green March’ in 2021.

The XPS spectra of as-prepared flake Cu2S CEs show peaks at 933.1 eV and 952.5 eV, corresponding to Cu 2p3/2 and 2p1/2, respectively. The S 2p spectrum shows a peak at 162.4 eV, which confirms the presence of S2-. Figure S3. Schematic illustration of a single-photoanode structure for J-V measurement irradiated from downside. It needs to penetrate the bottom photoanode, electrolyte and Cu2S mesh structure to arrive the top photoanode. Figure S4. When the light is condensed by a parabolic reflector and irradiates from the bottom photoanode, it can generate a short circuit current of about 21.6 mA cm-2, almost twice the short-circuit current generated by the parallel light irradiating the photoanode, which means that the photon flux after condensing is twice that of the parallel light from top. From the change of photon flux, we can calculate the condensing coefficient is 2, which is consistent with our measured results. Figure S5. The PCE of cells using the Cu2S mesh CE composed of 0.22 mm copper wires was 6.79% and 6.25%, respectively. The diameter of the Cu wire is inversely related to the aperture of the Cu mesh. In this work, the diameter of the Cu mesh used is 0.25 mm. The PCE results for a Cu mesh CE with wire diameter of 0.22 mm are shown in Figure S5, which is are lower than that of 0.25 mm Cu mesh.

description: Salvati L. and Carlucci M. Patterns of sprawl: the socioeconomic and territorial profile of dispersed urban areas in Italy, Regional Studies. The debate on the causes and consequences of urban sprawl has not led to a widely accepted interpretative framework so far. However, to formulate effective sustainable development policies, a comprehensive analysis of sprawl is becoming more and more urgent in Europe. Through an exploratory data analysis of the spatial distribution of 132 indicators (regarded as socioeconomic and environmental factors of urban sprawl) in 8100 Italian municipalities affected by different levels of settlement dispersion, this study discusses place-specific factors that depend on the socioeconomic context and lead to diverging models of sprawl throughout the country. The illustrated methodology produces an informative base possibly supporting urban containment and sustainable development policies in ‘sprawling’ regions.

description: Percoco M. Health shocks and human capital accumulation: the case of Spanish flu in Italian regions, Regional Studies. The impact of health on economic development is a hotly debated issue in the economics literature, with most scholars supporting the idea that the diffusion of diseases is detrimental to development. In this context, pandemics are an important case study given their exogenous nature, which makes identification of the impact of diseases on development clearer than in other cases such as malaria or smallpox. This paper focuses on Spanish flu in Italy, one of the countries with the highest mortality rate due to the pandemic. By exploiting the regional variation in mortality and focusing on the hypothesis of the foetal origins of cognitive abilities, the long-run consequences of influenza exposure in terms of human capital accumulation are estimated. An average reduction of 0.3–0.4 years of schooling for the cohort born in 1918–20 is found. This result points to a small but persisting effect of health shocks on regional productivity through a variation in the rate of accumulation of human capital.

description: Zhang X. and Kloosterman R. C. Connecting the ‘workshop of the world’: intra- and extra-service networks of the Pearl River Delta city-region, Regional Studies. Most research on globalization and city-regions in developing countries has focused on manufacturing activities, disregarding the considerable growth of producer services. Drawing on the Interlocking Network Model, this article presents a first analysis of the intra- and extra-service networks of the Pearl River Delta city-region in China. The central question is how cities in the Pearl River Delta are (re)positioned in the regional urban networks and which national and global cities are their major external connections in the service economy. The result reveals a new pattern of producer-services-led development that differs from the former industrialization experience in the region.

description: Chen Y. P. Fiscal decentralization, rural industrialization and undocumented labour mobility in rural China, 1982–87, Regional Studies. This paper explores the relationship between fiscal decentralization, which gave greater rural industrialization and fiscal authority to local governments, and the emergence of rural–rural undocumented inter-provincial labour migration during China's initial reform period. A Heckman model is employed to correct for the zero observation problems and to estimate consistently the labour mobility with a modified gravity equation. Given the institutional barriers, the fiscal decentralization has two contending effects on labour market integration: local economic development promotes labour mobility, but local public goods crowding restrains the inflow of labour at the destination. The crowding effect is stronger at lower levels of government.

description: El propósito de la inteligencia artificial es alcanzar una inteligencia a nivel humano. Para comprender plenamente el concepto de inteligencia a nivel humano es necesario diferenciar entre inteligencia artificial general y específica. En el panorama global actual, ha habido un aumento notable en los avances tecnológicos. Esto puede atribuirse al auge de numerosas empresas de tecnología tanto en Asia como en Estados Unidos. En estos países se han establecido infraestructuras necesarias y poseen una gran cantidad de datos, lo que contribuye al crecimiento de la industria tecnológica. Existe una amplia gama de perspectivas sobre las consecuencias socioeconómicas de las tecnologías emergentes, y hay personas que expresan una fuerte oposición a la colaboración con las máquinas. En consecuencia, los profesionales del sector banca y finanzas perciben la ausencia de una mentalidad orientada a la innovación como el obstáculo fundamental que obstaculiza la implementación generalizada de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en este ámbito. En conclusión, la implementación de tecnología de aprendizaje automático otorgará una importante ventaja competitiva a las instituciones financieras que la adopten, permitiéndoles ofrecer niveles incomparables de servicio al cliente personalizado. Esta tecnología de vanguardia permite a estas entidades adaptar sus servicios a las preferencias y necesidades individuales, estableciendo así una conexión más fuerte con su clientela.

description: Dettmann E., Dominguez Lacasa I., Günther J. and Jindra B. The importance of localized related variety for international diversification of corporate technology, Regional Studies. Internationalization of research and development has increased substantially in recent years. This paper analyses the determinants of spatial distribution of foreign technological activities across 96 regions in Germany. It identifies foreign technological activities by applying the cross-border ownership concept to patent applications. The main proposition is that regions with higher related variety of technological activities between sectors attract more foreign technological activities. The estimations show that this is the case in regions characterized by a high overall technological strength. This suggests that related variety facilitates technological diversifications of foreign corporations in regions at the top of the geographic hierarchy.

description: En el caso de Ardao, el argumento metodológico se aplica estrictamente a la hora de clarificar el vocabulario utilizado. Enfatiza la importancia de comprender los diferentes significados de una palabra sin disminuir la importancia de pensar en el análisis lingüístico o la relación entre las palabras y el lenguaje sistémico en un contexto1.Además, Ardao no sólo presentó estos conceptos de acuerdo con la realidad actual, sino que también los consideró como fuerzas impulsoras en la formación de frentes ideológicos. Por tanto, creo que los principios básicos de la historia conceptual se pueden encontrar en la obra de Ardao. Leer a Arturo Ardao el filósofo Uruguayo, representa para nuestra región, extrapolar ideas al concepto continental conocido como "América Latina", es una actividad a la que se ha dedicado el filósofo historiador de las ideas. La búsqueda del hombre del sur o latino es un tema que preocupó a Ardao y que aún hoy provoca todo tipo de reflexiones y consideraciones en los círculos filosóficos. No obstante, el aporte de Ardao se basa en el hecho de que el término Latinoamérica inicialmente tenía un tema político integrado. Además, su contenido genético semántico estaba cargado de oposición explícita a la imposición de intereses coloniales extranjeros.

description: Jean-Luc Hennig, en su libro "Breve Historia del Culo" estudia la evolución de la forma de vivir la sexualidad a lo largo de la historia, haciendo especial énfasis en la influencia de las modas, además de la atribución de los valores culturales y religiosos. El culo ha sido y es un punto solemne de estudio y de comentario por lo que simboliza y como no por lo que erotiza, escribe Hennig (2008, p. 15). Nos explica que este deseo de poseer un fondillo bonito, en ambos géneros, proviene de una vertiente evolutiva que brinda agilidad, equilibrio y fortaleza; despliega narrativamente creencias filofronéticas (de indicación de sentimientos) y transita de la vida a la literatura, como inspiración erótica, “…Es como si a través de la imagen de un atractivo culo pudiera transmitirse un sinfín de imágenes subliminales, apelando a lo instintivo…”. Hennig articula muy bien los conceptos de lo oculto o no. Las diferentes disciplinas han servido para inquirir la localización geográfica, biológica y fisiológica para optar luego al simbolismo. Jean-Luc Hennig describe las derivaciones psicolingüísticas del  culo desde la antigüedad, por la escasez de obra reciente defendible y, muestra los eventos analíticamente clasificados.

description: In the following document, we present a way to obtain the order of convergence of the Fractional Newton-Raphson (F N-R) method, which seems to have an order of convergence at least linearly for the case in which the order $α$ of the derivative is different from one. A simplified way of constructing the Riemann-Liouville (R-L) fractional operators, fractional integral and fractional derivative, is presented along with examples of its application on different functions. Furthermore, an introduction to the Aitken's method is made and it is explained why it has the ability to accelerate the convergence of the iterative methods, to finally present the results that were obtained when implementing the Aitken's method in the F N-R method.

description: Laursen K., Masciarelli F. and Reichstein T. A matter of location: the role of regional social capital in overcoming the liability of newness in R&D acquisition activities, Regional Studies. External knowledge acquisition is a precondition for firms’ competitive advantage. However, young firms exhibit a lower propensity to acquire external research and development (R&D) than their older counterparts. The paper explores the role of regional social capital in moderating this aspect of the liability of newness. The results show that young firms operating in regions with low levels of social capital are less likely to acquire R&D externally. However, this is not the case in regions with high levels of social capital, suggesting that the liability of newness in terms of acquisition of external R&D does not play a role in these regions.

description: Reconstructing 3D shapes from single-view images has been a long-standing research problem. In this paper, we present DISN, a Deep Implicit Surface Network which can generate a high-quality detail-rich 3D mesh from an 2D image by predicting the underlying signed distance fields. In addition to utilizing global image features, DISN predicts the projected location for each 3D point on the 2D image, and extracts local features from the image feature maps. Combining global and local features significantly improves the accuracy of the signed distance field prediction, especially for the detail-rich areas. To the best of our knowledge, DISN is the first method that constantly captures details such as holes and thin structures present in 3D shapes from single-view images. DISN achieves the state-of-the-art single-view reconstruction performance on a variety of shape categories reconstructed from both synthetic and real images.

description: Forsman H. and Temel S. From a non-innovator to a high-innovation performer: networking as a driver, Regional Studies. This paper explores the patterns of networking benefits gained through collaboration by small firms. The empirical evidence is based on data gathered from 708 Finnish firms with fewer than 50 employees. Separate analyses are conducted for the manufacturing and service businesses. The study demonstrates how the benefits gained through collaboration change along with the journey from a non-innovator to a high-innovation performer. In general, the results suggest that the focus of innovation policies should be shifted from innovations to innovators. In addition, these policies should promote networking activities not only to innovation exploration but also to innovation exploitation.

description: Histone methylation/demethylation facilitate to maintain balanced histone methylation levels and underpin gene regulation, playing the key roles in epigenetic regulation. Suppressor of variegation 4-20 homolog 1 (SUV420H1), a member of class Histone Lysine Methyltransferase and a key enzyme in the epigenetic regulation of the pathways controlling metabolism and tumorigenesis, is crucial to maintain cell homeostasis. The inhibition of SUV420H1 has emerged as a promising candidate for drug development and cancer therapy. Herein, two potential and potent SUV420H1 inhibitors (ZINC08398384, ZINC08439608) were identified through in silico approach and in vitro biological experiments. In vitro biological tests demonstrated that these compounds can inhibit the proliferation of U2OS cells and restrict its migration ability. And the level of dimethylation of lysine 20 on histone H4 (H4K20me2) was markedly decreased by these compounds-treatment in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicated that ZINC08398384 and ZINC08439608 are potential SUV420H1 inhibitors and could be developed as promising drug candidates applied to cancer epigenetic therapy.

description: Kara M. A., Taş S. and Ada S. The impact of infrastructure expenditure types on regional income in Turkey, Regional Studies. Infrastructure investments that enhance regional economic performance and competitiveness fall into two categories: economic and social. Economic infrastructure investments (i.e. highways, power generation and water facilities) can directly increase regional production potential, and social infrastructure investments (i.e. education and healthcare) can aid regional income by improving labour productivity. This study identifies how different types of infrastructure expenditures affect regional incomes in Turkey. As per results drawn from data of 2004–08, infrastructure expenditures enhance regional income in Turkey. Social infrastructure investments and education expenditures demonstrate greater impact on regional income.

description: Carrion-i-Silvestre J. L. Fiscal deficit sustainability of the Spanish regions, Regional Studies. The fiscal deficit of the Spanish Autonomous Communities is investigated using non-stationary panel data analysis. The paper considers the two main approaches in the literature, first assessing whether there is a long-run relationship between the revenues and expenditures of the Autonomous Communities, and second focusing on the use of fiscal rules. The paper shows that it is possible to relate these approaches in a unified framework.

description: We consider the standard neural field equation with an exponential temporal kernel. We analyze the time-independent (static) and time-dependent (dynamic) bifurcations of the equilibrium solution and the emerging spatiotemporal wave patterns. We show that an exponential temporal kernel does not allow static bifurcations such as saddle-node, pitchfork, and in particular, static Turing bifurcations. However, the exponential temporal kernel possesses the important property that it takes into account the finite memory of past activities of neurons, which Green's function does not. Through a dynamic bifurcation analysis, we give explicit bifurcation conditions. Hopf bifurcations lead to temporally non-constant, but spatially constant solutions, but Turing-Hopf bifurcations generate spatially and temporally non-constant solutions, in particular, traveling waves. Bifurcation parameters are the coefficient of the exponential temporal kernel, the transmission speed of neural signals, the time delay rate of synapses, and the ratio of excitatory to inhibitory synaptic weights.
