Unfunded Public Pension System in the Presence of Perfect Household Mobility

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In this paper we investigate the effects of unfunded public pension schemes in a small open economy with land where young households are perfectly mobile. The burden of the intergenerational transfer system is entirely borne by members of the old generation. The incidence, however, varies with the policy pursued by the government. If it levies a constant contribution, the transfer recipients as well as the landowners carry the burden. In the case of a constant pension payment the whole loss is shifted to the owners of the immobile factor land. Furthermore, this policy may be inapplicable in the long run.
Internet-Based Screening for Suicidal Ideation in Common Mental Disorders

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Background: Common mental disorders have been found to be related to suicidal ideation and behavior. Research in the field of web-based interventions for common mental disorders, however, usually excludes participants with a suicidal risk, although a large proportion of participants might suffer from suicidal ideation. Aims: To investigate the prevalence of suicidal ideation in common mental disorders in an online sample. Method: In total, 502 participants completed nine web-based questionnaires on common mental disorders, of which 120 were also interviewed by telephone to obtain a diagnosis. Logistic regression analyses were applied to investigate associations between disorders and suicidal ideation. Results: Based on web-based self-report, 53% of participants had some form of suicidal ideation. Fewer participants reported suicidal ideation during the interview by telephone. Depression (multivariate odds ratio 7.1), generalized anxiety disorder (2.1), social phobia (2.1), and posttraumatic stress disorder (1.7) were significantly associated with suicidal ideation, while a higher number of comorbid common mental disorders increased the risk. Conclusion: Researchers and clinicians should be aware that one out of every two helpseekers on the internet with common mental disorders may have suicidal ideation. Comorbidity of two or more disorders greatly increase the risk of suicidal ideation.
WEB OF SCIENCE BASED BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS STUDY: TUBERCULOSIS MENINGITIS FROM 1970 TILL TO PRESENT

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most dangerous and incapacitating type of tuberculous and has a high mortality rate. Objective: We aimed to reveal the general perspective of tuberculous meningitis, with bibliometric analysis. Methods: This study included only articles as a document type, searched in the Web of Science database, indexed in ‘‘Science Citation Index Expanded’’ and ‘‘Emerging Sources Citation Index’’ from 1970 to the present. Results: A total of 2370 publications were reached and 1516 articles were included in the study. 87.401% of them were published in Science Citation Index Expanded and 12.599% in the Emerging Sources Citation Index. The articles were mostly published in English (92.084%) language. Most of the articles (6.266%) were published in 2021. 107 countries contributed to the tuberculous meningitis literature. India, the USA, and South Africa were the countries with the highest number of articles published. Most articles were published in “The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease’’ journal. The countries that financially supported tuberculous meningitis studies the most were the USA and the United Kingdom (UK). Conclusion: TB continues to be an important public health problem globally, especially in low-middle-income countries. In this study, it was observed that there has been a significant increase in publications related to TBM in recent years. It was seen that the USA and UK were the countries that provided the most publications and financial support to the studies, although they were not, particularly the countries where TBM was watched most frequently.
Exploring the Relationship between Masseter and Cervical Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials in Young Adults with Hearing Thresholds Less Than or Equal to 15 dB HL

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) and masseter vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (mVEMPs) are considered to have a common saccular origin. While a few studies have examined both vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) in individuals with brainstem disorders as part of a test battery, the relation between these two potentials has rarely been the subject of discussion. Purpose The present study explored the relation between mVEMPs and cVEMPs using electromyography (EMG)-scaled parameters in normal-hearing young adults. Research Design Within-subject study design. Study Sample Twenty young adults between 18 and 39 years of age (11 males, 9 females) participated in the study. Data Collection and Analysis cVEMP and mVEMP were performed on all the participants at 95 dBnHL with 500 Hz tone burst stimuli. Various VEMP parameters were evaluated including P13 and N23 peak latencies, the amplitude of the P13‐N23 complex, and the Interaural Amplitude Asymmetry Ratio in EMG-scaled and unscaled conditions. Results All participants exhibited a 100% response rate for cVEMP and mVEMP responses. There were no significant ears and gender effect for both cVEMP and mVEMP. No correlation was found between cVEMP and mVEMP. There was no significant difference found between P1 and N1 latency values of cVEMP and mVEMP; however, a significant variation was observed for peak-to-peak amplitude both in EMG-scaled and unscaled conditions between cVEMP and mVEMP. Conclusions Minimal to no association between any parameters of cVEMPs and mVEMPs suggests no significant relationship between these two VEMPs.
CHALLENGING CORRELATIONS BETWEEN PSORIASIS SEVERITY AND TNF-α LEVELS IN HARD-TO-TREAT AREAS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The current study highlights the important role of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the development of psoriasis and suggests that an assessment of serum TNF-α levels might be useful as a predictor of psoriasis severity.Furthermore, these results could answer the dilemma raised by this article itself, more precisely the cause of the severity of special sites.We evaluated a group of 47 patients for the possible link between the severity according to Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index (PSSI), Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI), or Erythema, Scaling, Induration, Fissuring Scale (ESIF) scores and pro-inflammatory cytokines profile in difficult-to-treat areas.The severity of the disease was assessed using PASI and other scores dedicated to these special sites.The correlation between the PASI score and serum TNFα was evaluated.Serum TNF-α levels are significantly increased in patients with severe psoriasis, which is correlated with the PASI score, and are within limits as long as the PASI score is lower, regardless of the severity of the difficult-to-treat areas.Deciphering the cause of the severity of special sites might change the therapeutic approach in order to personalise therapy according to the cytokine profile and increase access to biological therapies with significant benefits for the patient. RezumatStudiul evidențiază rolul important al factorului de necroză tumoral- (TNF-α) în dezvoltarea psoriazisului și sugerează că determinarea nivelului seric de TNF-α ar putea fi utizată ca un predictor al severității psoriazisului.Mai mult, rezultatele acestui studiu ar putea răspunde dilemei ridicate de acest articol în sine, mai exact determinarea cauzei gravității zonelor speciale.Am evaluat un grup de 47 de pacienți pentru posibila legătură între severitate utilizând scorurile PASI, PSSI, NAPSI sau ESIF și profilul citokinelor proinflamatorii în zonele speciale.Severitatea bolii a fost evaluată folosind PASI și alte scoruri dedicate acestor zone speciale.A fost evaluată corelația dintre scorul PASI și nivelul seric al TNF-α.Nivelele serice ale TNF-α sunt semnificativ crescute la pacienții cu psoriazis sever, acesta corelându-se cu scorul PASI și se află în limite normale atâta timp cât scorul PASI este mai scăzut, indiferent de severitatea afectării zonelor speciale.Descifrarea cauzei severității zonelor speciale ar putea schimba abordarea terapeutică pentru a personaliza terapia în funcție de profilul de citokine și a crește accesul la terapii biologice cu beneficii semnificative pentru pacient.
OH radical in water studied by Quantum beats on positron annihilation -the effect of water liquid structures-

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Singlet radical pairs of ortho-positronium and hydroxyl (OH) radical were generated in positron radiolysis in water. Quantum beats on the energy distribution of positron annihilation γ-rays caused by the reaction of electron-spin-correlated pairs of ortho-positronium and OH radical were newly measured at 32°C by using positron annihilation age-momentum correlation (AMOC) measurement. The quantum beats can provide information of hyperfine coupling constants of the OH radical in water liquid structures, and hence can provide the information of change of the water liquid structures. The quantum beats appeared at 32°C could not be explained easily. The reason was continuous and slow change of water liquid structures at 32°C. The water liquid structures probably can be understood by using the positron annihilation quantum beat measurements.
FEE -BASED ONLINE SERVICES : EXPLORING CONSUMERS’ WILLINGNESS TO PAY

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Many online service businesses are beginning to charge fees for services that they used to provide for free. It is unclear whether consumers are ready to embrace this practice. This study explores consumer attitudes toward fee-based online services. The results of the study indicate that consumers' willingness to pay for online services is likely to be influenced by their perceived value of convenience these services provide, and by the extent to which they utilize these services. While consumers appear more willing to pay for services that are qualitatively better than free services, there is also indication that the belief remains strong among many that online services that were free in the past should remain free.

A roughness index of 250 inches per mile was set as the limit beyond which the road surface was in need of improvement. Resurfacing with 3 in. of bituminous Macadam and 1.25 in. of asphaltic concrete improved the roughness index to between 126 to 220 inches per mile. /TRRL/
College Chatbot Using RASA

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, etc., has brought about significant changes in the technological sphere for decades. One such transformative technology is a Chatbot, a Conversational AI capable of addressing users’ queries. These chatbots are tailored to serve various objectives, one of which is to streamline tasks in education through automation. In line with this, a paper titled “College Chatbot Using RASA” has been written, which can effectively respond to questions based on college and other college-related information. The chatbot has been made accessible via an API utilizing the Streamlit framework. The RASA framework, a key open-source technology, has been harnessed to enable the chatbot. RASA plays a vital role in the chatbot's functionality by combining two main components, Rasa Core and Rasa Natural Language Understanding (NLU). Rasa NLU component is used to deduce intent and extract necessary entities from user input, while Rasa Core generates output by constructing a probabilistic model. The model is evaluated by getting a confusion matrix and prediction confidence distribution. The chatbot, upon testing, showcases the best result of 1 for each accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score.
Aelurostrongylus abstrusus Antibody Seroprevalence Reveals That Cats Are at Risk of Infection throughout Germany

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Cats infected with the metastrongylid nematode Aelurostrongylus abstrusus may show clinical signs ranging from mild to severe respiratory disease or remain unobserved, despite damages present in the lung tissue. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and distribution of A. abstrusus in cats by testing serum samples from all over Germany to identify potential risk areas and strengthen disease awareness accordingly. Sera of 2998 cats were screened for the presence of antibodies against A. abstrusus by ELISA, and the data were evaluated by a geographic information system to visualise the regional distribution of the analysed samples. Overall, 12.0% of the samples tested positive (361/2998 cats, 95% confidence interval: 10.9–13.3%). Seropositive cats were identified throughout the country, suggesting that all cats in Germany with outdoor access are at risk of A. abstrusus infection and that the infection is overall underdiagnosed. Increased testing for A. abstrusus infection would allow earlier detection of infected animals, hence improving the life quality and health of cats and preventing potential death under anaesthesia.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Today the system of training of fighters in hand-to-hand combat is characterized by an insufficient level of developent of high-speed and power qualities of sportsmen. The training process on the development of high-speed and power qualities is carried out without the use of multifunctional training. The aim of the work is to experimentally substantiate the methodology of development of high-speed and power qualities of sportsmen of 13-14 years old. Methods of the research: Theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific literature and Internet sources; pedagogical observation; pedagogical testing; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. The research was conducted in Zaporizhzhia on the basis of the SC "Meteor". The subjects are juniors aged 13-14 years, engaged in sports improvement groups of the 1st year of study at the department of hand-to-hand combat. The experiment involved 20 athletes. Scientific and theoretical novelty of the research: The shock microcycles with a separate block of development of high-speed and power qualities of young sportsmen were developed and experimentally proved for the first time; the data on the development of physical qualities of sportsmen of hand-to-hand style in groups of sports improvement of the 1st year of training were supplemented. Conclusions. The experimental technique provides for the construction of micro- and mesocycles, with the predominant use of means and methods of development of high-speed and power qualities; for the development of high-speed and power qualities the circular method was used; in the experimental group after six weeks of training by the author's method of development of high-speed and power qualities there is a probable increase of all indicators of tests; the use of a concentrated block of high-speed and power exercises allows to increase significantly the level of development of high-speed and power qualities of young sportsmen 13-14 years old.
Using Cervical Dilation to Predict Labor Onset: A Tool for Elective Labor Induction Counseling

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective To evaluate whether cervical dilation predicts the timing and likelihood of spontaneous labor at term. Study Design This was a retrospective cohort of nulliparous women with singleton pregnancies who delivered at term from 2013 to 2015. Outpatient cervical examinations performed after 37 weeks and prior to labor onset were collected. Survival analysis was used to analyze time to spontaneous labor with cervical dilation as the primary predictor, modeled as continuous and categorical variables (<1 cm, 1 cm, >1 cm). Results Our cohort included 726 women; 407 (56%) spontaneously labored, 263 (36%) were induced, and 56 (8%) had an unlabored cesarean delivery. Women with >1-cm dilation were three times more likely to spontaneously labor (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 3.1; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.4–4) than those with <1-cm dilation. At 39 weeks, 60% of women with >1-cm dilation went into spontaneous labor as compared with only 28% of those with <1-cm dilation (aHR: 2.9; 95% CI: 2–4.4). Conclusion In our cohort of nulliparous women at term, those with cervical dilation > 1 cm were significantly more likely to go into labor in the following week. This information can aid in counseling about elective induction of labor.

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Stock price estimation and prediction have been the popular topics for ages for various market participants, including investors, traders, financial analysts and researchers. Understanding the expected direction of stock prices can provide insights into broader market trends and sentiments. Different methods have been tried to find out future predictions with the least degree of error. Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) are two popular methods for time series forecasting, including stock price prediction. This paper attempts to forecast stock prices with more accuracy by using ARIMA and ANN tool modelling with secondary data NIFTY 50 of the National Stock Exchange from December 2005 to July 2019. Stock price prediction through ARIMA and ANN was calculated and compared. Results obtained revealed that the ANN method of forecasting stock prices has more accuracy as compared to ARIMA modelling. Future studies can be based on different sector-based data across different sectors and stock markets.
Group B Streptococcus Infection of the Human Extraplacental Membranes [electronic resource].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

acid (10-500 µM), failed to inhibit LTA-stimulated cytokine release from extraplacental membranes. In summary, extraplacental membranes in culture mounted a robust immune response to GBS. Cell-to-cell signaling from the choriodecidua to the amnion was critical for GBS-stimulated HBD-2 in amnion. Host response in the extraplacental membranes was GBS strain specific. The results from the present study provide new insight into the mechanisms of host defense during GBS infection and need to be considered for future treatment and prevention strategies. In addition, pathogen-toxicant interactions should be considered in the current paradigm for increased risk for intrauterine infection.
Potensi Mieloprotektif Kombinasi Curcuma xanthorriza, Curcuma domestica, dan Zingiber officinale terhadap Perubahan Biokimia pada Tikus yang Diinduksi Doksorubisin

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Doxorubicin as an anticancer drug has myelosuppressive side effects. This study aimed to investigate the possibility of myeloprotective role of the natural antioxidant Curcuma xanthorrhiza, Zingiber officinale, and Curcuma domestica in rats induced by doxorubicin. Wistar male rats were divided into four groups and treated with (1) 0.9% NaCl as a control group, (2) doxorubicin 5 mg/kg intraperitoneally, 4 times in 14 days (days 1, 5, 9, 13); (3) doxorubicin + extract 250 mg/kg/day orally for 14 days; (4) doxorubicin + extract of 500 mg/kg/day orally for 14 days. Blood samples of rats were taken on day 15th and sacrificed for harvesting spleen organ. White blood cells were counted, and spleen weights were evaluated as markers of myelosuppressive effect. The amount of white blood cells and spleen weights were reduced in the doxorubicin treated groups. Whereas in the group treated by the extract (250 mg and 500 mg) + doxorubicin, the amount of white blood cells and spleen weights were increased. These results indicated that the extract combination of Curcuma xanthorrhiza, Zingiber officinale, and Curcuma domestica has myeloprotective activity by keeping the amount of white blood cells and spleen weights.
A Review on Brain Imaging Techniques for BCI Applications

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Evolution has endowed human race with the most adroit brain, and to harness its potential to the fullest the concept of brain computer interface (BCI) has emerged. One of the most crucial components of BCI is the technique of brain imaging. The first approach in the field of brain imaging was to measure the electrical and magnetic activity of the brain, the techniques being known as Electroencephalography and Magnetoencephalography. Striving for furtherance, researchers came up with another alternative known as Magnetic Resonance Imaging. But it being confined to only structural imaging, the functional aspects of brain were mapped using functional magnetic resonance imaging. A similar but comparatively newer neuroimaging modality is Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation neuro-physiological technique is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Based on nuclear medicine the brain imaging technologies that are widely explored in the world of BCI are Positron Emission Tomography and Single Positron Emission Tomography.
