Proposal for Changes in the Financing System of the EU Budget Poland’s Position

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Abstract The present system of financing the budget of the European Union (EU) has been criticized for many years, and there are many good reasons for replacing a substantial share of the existing resources with EU taxes. The EU Commission has recently presented a proposal for two new EU taxes: a new value-added tax (VAT) and a foreign transactions tax (FTT). The main objective of this article is to review the Commission’s proposal to finance part of the EU budget through those new EU taxes and to assess the proposal from the point of view of Polish interests. The article begins with a brief characterization of the current system of EU resources and the main criticisms of it. Next, the proposal for the two new EU taxes (VAT and FTT) to supplement and modify the present resources of the EU budget is discussed, and its pros and cons are elaborated. Then Poland’s official position on both proposals is reviewed and assessed. The conclusions compare the pros and cons of the proposal from the point of view of Poland’s contributions to the EU budget.
Effects of Production Methods on the Particle Morphology and Properties of Aqueous Au Nanofluids

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

In this study, the effects of nanofluid production methods on the particle morphology and properties of aqueous gold (Au) nanofluids are investigated using chemical reduction (referred as Turkevich method). Sonication method is used to provide energy for the production of Au nanofluids. Applied energy to the production of nanofluids and temperature of the reduction reaction are two main parameters in the production of aqueous Au nanofluids, affecting the particle size and dispersion state of Au nanofluids even though same production method is used. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) are used to characterize particle size, shape and distribution. The thermal conductivities of Au nanofluids are measured by the custom-made transient hot wire system. Uncertainty of the measurements is less than ±1.5%. The pH and electrical conductivities are also measured by commercial products in this study. Temperature range of measuring properties is 10–30 °C. Experimental results show that production methods can affect the particle morphology and transport properties of Au nanofluids. Sizes of produced Au nanoparticles are 20–40 nm depending on the production methods and parameters. Through characterization and experimental results of Au nanofluids, we found the optimum conditions for production of aqueous Au nanofluids which have high thermal conductivity, small particle size and well dispersed characteristics.
SN 2005at - A neglected type Ic supernova at 10 Mpc

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of a reddened type Ic supernova (SN) 2005at. We report our results based on the available data of SN 2005at, including late-time observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope. In particular, late-time mid-infrared observations are something rare for type Ib/c SNe. In our study we find SN 2005at to be very similar photometrically and spectroscopically to another nearby type Ic SN 2007gr, underlining the prototypical nature of this well-followed type Ic event. The spectroscopy of both events shows similar narrow spectral line features. The radio observations of SN 2005at are consistent with fast evolution and low luminosity at radio wavelengths. The late-time Spitzer data suggest the presence of an unresolved light echo from interstellar dust and dust formation in the ejecta, both of which are unique observations for a type Ic SN. The late-time Hubble observations reveal a faint point source coincident with SN 2005at, which is very likely either a declining light echo of the SN or a compact cluster. For completeness we study ground-based pre-explosion archival images of the explosion site of SN 2005at, however this only yielded very shallow upper limits for the SN progenitor star. We derive a host galaxy extinction of $A_{V} \approx 1.9$ mag for SN 2005at, which is relatively high for a SN in a normal spiral galaxy not viewed edge-on.

The advantage of having a soft computing control methods is that it enable more flexibility to the control system compared with conventional model based controls system. Firstly, soft computing methods enable a transfer of human controls and thinking into the machine via training. Secondly it is more robust to error compared to conventional model based system. In this paper, a UAV airship is controlled using fuzzy logic for its propulsion and steering system. The airship is tested on a simulation level before test flight. The prototype airship has on board GPS and compass for telemetry and transmitted to the ground control system via a wireless link.
The effects of thiazide diuretics on bone mineral metabolism.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Thiazide diuretics cause changes in calcium metabolism. Clinically, these changes include a decreased excretion of calcium, and in some instances, this results in a corresponding increase in bone mineral. The study of mineral metabolism in bone is difficult because of the slow turnover rate of bone. For this reason, the rat fracture model was used to study bone mineral metabolism in animals given thiazide diuretics. Fifty rats were divided into four groups: group 1 received a fracture of the right tibia and thiazide diuretics, group 2 received thiazide and no fracture, group 3 received no drugs and a fracture, and group 4 received no drugs and no fracture. At the end of 35 days postinjury, all animals were sacrificed. Biochemical and biomechanical results were analyzed, and revealed that animals that received thiazide diuretics and a fracture had the highest bone mineral content.
Use of Different Haematological Parameter as a Predictor of Complicated Appendicitis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Acute appendicitis is the most common indication for emergency abdominal surgery. The diagnosis of appendicitis depends on the subjective criteria of clinical examination. However, distinguishing acute complicated appendicitis and uncomplicated is often difficult especially in the elderly population that usually not clinically specific unless it has developed into generalized peritonitis. Between the complicated and uncomplicated should be distinguished because of different surgical approaches. Haematological parameters are needed that would lead to early diagnosis. These tests are not only cheaper, but also feasible and available in peripheral hospitals compared to other supports such as USG, CT scan. Aims: To evaluate the predictive value of different haematological parameter in the diagnosis of acute complicated appendicitis. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Surgery, Dhaka Medical College & Hospital over a period of one year. The patients who were admitted as suspected case of acute appendicitis are enrolled in this study. Data were collected in a pre-designed data collection sheet including particulars of the patients, detailed history, clinical examination, pre-existing co-morbidities and relevant investigations. Results: The mean age was found 27.66±10.62 years and 30.73±13.16 years in complicated and uncomplicated appendectomy. No significant difference of age between complicated and uncomplicated appendicectomy. Male patients were significantly higher in in complicated appendicitis group (p<0.05). Among 170 patients, 77 were found complicated appendicitis and 93 were uncomplicated appendicitis. There were statistically significant differences between the groups in WBC, NEU, LYM, NLR, CRP. The cut-off values of NLR, WBC, and NEU were 4.57, 15150x109/L, and 77.5x109/L, respectively for complicated appendicitis. The cut off value of CRP, platelet count was 4.50 mg/dl and 235.0 for complicated .........
Optimization of Agrobacterium mediated callus-based transformation protocol for rice (Super Basmati) and GUS expression

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food in many countries of the world. The world population is increasing at a tremendous rate. The demand of food is increasing but supply is limited due to decrease of agriculture land, biotic and abiotic stresses. There is need of time to increase the yield of food crops including rice by incorporating resistance genes that will improve the ability of cultivar to resist biotic and abiotic stresses. Agrobacterium mediated callus-based transformation is one of the techniques for insertion of gene of interest. This study was an attempt to evaluate the response of four cultivars (Super Basmati, Basmati 370, Basmati 385 and Shaheen Basmati) of rice for regeneration and transformation on the basis of hygromycine. The cultivar super basmati responded best response so further GUS expression of this cultivar was done to check the transformation efficiency. The EHA101 Agrobacterium strain, plasmid containing GUS gene was used to evaluate the transformation rate. The factors affecting transformation process were optimized. The results revealed that 500 mg/L of cefotaxime was best concentration to decontaminate the left-over bacteria. The 50 mg/L of hygromycine was optimized as lethal dose for selection of transformed calli. The (100 μM/L) of acetosyringone in cocultivation media enhanced the ability of Agrobacterium to deliver the required gene in the calli. Out of four cultivars of rice, super basmati showed the best response for regeneration and transformation. The 24% GUS expression was recorded in the leaves of super basmati. © 2021 The Author(s)
Global manufacturing virtual network Manufacturing strategies

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The evolution of organizations that work in multinational environments has considerably altered their production strategies. One of the consequences has been the appearance of Global Manufacturing Virtual Networks (GMVNs), which include all kinds of enterprises and production centres and establish a new type of horizontal collaboration and relations between independent companies and even competitors who establish occasional collaborations on projects they could not take on individually. This paper analyses the causes behind the formation of such networks, their strategy, structure, dynamics and evolution, taking into account areas such as strategic intercompany alliances, synchronization of their value and supply chains, their information systems, the cultural aspects of the organizations in question and, finally, their convergence with another of the more relevant future trends in production: mass customization. The proposed model shall be applied to the aeronautical industry which is one of the industries which has developed the GMVN concept. The case study of the engine manufacturer Rolls Royce will provide a better understanding of the evolution of its strategic positioning, as well as the dynamic and fluent nature of its virtual relations. This will demonstrate its effectiveness by clarifying and putting these organizations in perspective and analyzing their evolution over the next few years. 1.
USING A TEMPLE-BASED EDUCATION PROGRAMME ON BLOOD PRESSURE REDUCTION AMONG BUDDHIST ELDERLY IN RURAL UTTARADIT PROVINCE, NORTHERN THAILAND

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background There has been substantial debate about the contribution of religious practices to alleviating hypertension with some established evidence among African American. However, Buddhist settings, there has been limited studies of effect of religion on blood pressure reduction. Aim To determine the effectiveness of a Buddhist temple-based education programme on blood pressure reduction and improving the behavioural changes of exercise, salt intake, intention to visit the physician as well as antihypertensive medications. Methods A quasi-experimental design was adopted. The study comprised of; (1) the intervention group and (2) the control group. Both groups consisted of 73 persons aged 60 years and above. Data was obtained at baseline and 6 months after the intervention. Temple committee members were trained to be as programme educators. Posters of knowledge about high blood pressure or modifying behaviours on exercise, salt intake and visiting the physician/on antihypertensive medications were placed in strategic locations within the temple environment. Results Significant reduction in systolic blood pressure was found among participants of the intervention group (p<0.001). Moreover, systolic blood pressure in the intervention group was found to be significantly lower than that of the control group (p<0.05). In addition, significant behavioural improvement in regards to exercise and salt intake were found among participants of the intervention group compared to the control group (exercise = p<0.001; salt intake=p<0.001). However, no significant difference between the intervention and control groups was detected on diastolic blood pressure (p=0.746) and behaviour on visiting the physician/on antihypertensive medications (p=0.340). Discussion Specific aspect of temple-based education programme can be advocated to an effective way to reduce blood pressure and improve behavioural changes on exercise and salt intake. Conclusion Nurses should consider including an advocacy for adapting regular Buddhist temple practice in the protocols for hypertensive Buddhist elderly.
Distinction Awards

Examination of stereoscopic optic disc photographs allowed accurate prediction of glaucomatous and normal fields to be made in 82 and 95% of eyes respectively and for visual field loss to be correctly located in upper and lower half in 83 and 91% of cases respectively. Despite this high correlation the existence of false positive and fale negative predictions means that the total reliance on optic nerve examination without visual field estimation in the evaluation of the glaucoma patient should not be made. Optic disc examination is too insensitive for long-term follow-up of visual function in a glaucoma patient. The high correlation between the state of the visual field and the optic disc means that, in the evaluation of the visual functions of a glaucoma patient, the appearance of the optic disc and the visual field should be in agreement.
Collective Resources and Violent Crime Reconsidered: New Orleans Before and After Hurricane Katrina

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Social research has long argued that collective resources and major events like disasters have an important impact on violent crime, but it has been difficult to show their effects because data are scarce. We conducted a large survey in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina that included questions about collective resources. We aggregated our sample to the census tract level and merged it with data on concentrated disadvantage and violent crime. Our analyses show that bridging social networks are associated with lower levels of violent crime, while bonding social networks are associated with higher levels. Social trust is associated with lower levels of violent crime, but civic engagement has no impact. Concentrated disadvantage is associated with higher levels of violent crime. Finally, our results suggest that disaster recovery increased the importance of collective resources but not concentrated disadvantage on violent crime.
Tetranectin as a potential biomarker in heart failure with ejection fraction >45%: A prospective cohort study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background and Objectives Heart failure (HF) with left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) >45% lacks reliable biomarkers for risk stratification complicating its management, as it encompasses both heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF, LVEF ≥50%) and mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF, LVEF 45–49.9%). This study aimed to evaluate serum tetranectin (TETRA) as a novel biomarker for assessing disease severity and predicting mortality in patients with HF with EF >45%. Materials and Methods In a prospective cohort study including 116 patients HF with EF>45% from a single center in Arad, Romania, stratified by NYHA class (G1: NYHA I, n=48; G2: NYHA II, n=37; G3: NYHA III–IV, n=31), serum TETRA levels were measured using ELISA. Echocardiographic parameters (E/e’ ratio, LAVI, LAS, GLS, LVEF) and NT-proBNP were assessed at baseline, with all-cause mortality (9 deaths) tracked over a 12-month follow-up. Results Median TETRA levels decreased with worsening NYHA class (G1: 48.9 ng/mL, G2: 33.2 ng/mL, G3: 27.6 ng/mL; p < 0.001) and correlated negatively with NT-proBNP (rho = −0.66, p < 0.001), E/e’ ratio (rho = −0.58, p = 0.003), and LAVI (rho = −0.52, p = 0.010), while positively correlating with LAS (rho = 0.55, p = 0.005). In univariable Cox analysis, lower TETRA levels were associated with higher all-cause mortality (HR = 1.38 per 10 ng/mL decrease, 95% CI: 1.06–1.81, p = 0.045), but this association was not significant after adjustment for age and NT-proBNP (HR = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.94–1.86, p = 0.112). Conclusions TETRA levels are inversely associated with severity in heart failure with EF>45% and may reflect disease progression.
Clothing, Sex of Subject, and Rape Myth Acceptance as Factors Affecting Attributions about an Incident of Acquaintance Rape

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of victim's clothing, sex of subject, and rape myth acceptance on attributions concerning an incident of acquaintance rape. Subjects were male and female university students who read a scenario depicting acquaintance rape, viewed a photograph of one of three female models in a short, moderate, or long skirt, answered ten questions concerning their perceptions of the incident, and completed a Rape Myth Acceptance scale. Main effects were found for sex of subject, for rape myth acceptance, and for victims's clothing. There were 2-way interactions between rape myth acceptance and victim's clothing for four questions. Results of this study document existence of a belief in, and potential effects of, rape myths. Since belief in rape myths is likely to interact with clothing cues to affect perceptions of a victim, it is important that a rape victim's clothing not be allowed as evidence in a trial.
ReLISH: Reliable Label Inference via Smoothness Hypothesis

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The smoothness hypothesis is critical for graph-based semi-supervised learning. This paper defines local smoothness, based on which a new algorithm, Reliable Label Inference via Smoothness Hypothesis (ReLISH), is proposed. ReLISH has produced smoother labels than some existing methods for both labeled and unlabeled examples. Theoretical analyses demonstrate good stability and generalizability of ReLISH. Using real-world datasets, our empirical analyses reveal that ReLISH is promising for both transductive and inductive tasks, when compared with representative algorithms, including Harmonic Functions, Local and Global Consistency, Constraint Metric Learning, Linear Neighborhood Propagation, and Manifold Regularization.
Popular Punitivism: Finding a Balance Between the Politics, Presentation, and Fear of Crime

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract This paper aims to take stock on what we know about popular punitivism and how it manifests across time and social atmosphere. To do this, the recent history and literature of popular punitivism is explored beginning with its tumultuous birth during the 1960s. Specific focus is then given to how debates regarding the punitive turn have become theories of popular punitivism. Recognizing popular punitivism as an important factor in many crime control policies, the paper explains how popular punitivism has acted as a catalyst to current justice practices, associated problems, and the study of crime. Additionally, emphasizing the adaptability of popular punitivism, the paper explains its influence in other contexts and cultures comparatively, especially in a post‐9/11 world. From such contexts I explain the widespread pattern of controlling minority groups in all places where popular punitivism is present. The paper concludes by mapping the areas of future research.
