Abstract:
This paper focuses on the nature of saintly or heroic acts, which, according to J.O. Urmson, exist as a fourth, less traditional category of moral actions. According to this division, heroic acts are those, which have positive moral value, but cannot be demanded of an individual as their duty; however, this paper argues that Urmson is mistaken in his claim that a consequentialist ethical framework is the most capable of accounting for heroic acts. Furthermore, this paper claims that an Aristotelian account is the most appropriate ethical theory to consider, which could better countenance the existence of heroic acts.

Abstract:
A laser-dye technique is known to injure selectively microvascular endothelium in situ. With the use of the arterioles on the surface of the mouse brain (pial arterioles), the endothelial injury is manifest by loss of several endothelium-dependent responses, including the dilation produced by topical application of acetylcholine (ACh), bradykinin (BK), and calcium ionophore A-23187. The responses normally recover by 60 min following injury. The present study shows that inhibitors of protein synthesis prevent the recovery. Either actinomycin D (Act-D; 1 mg/kg) or cycloheximide (CX; 10 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally 35 min before the light-dye injury. The CX was used in separate studies with ACh, BK, and ionophore. In each study, recovery of the endothelium-dependent dilation failed to occur 60 min after injury, while recovery occurred in contemporary vehicle-treated controls. Act-D was used in separate studies of ACh and BK. Again, recovery of endothelium-dependent dilation was prevented. Neither CX nor Act-D inhibited the response to ACh in uninjured vessels. Thus response to ACh was intact in such arterioles 90 min after the injection of CX or Act-D. CX was also given to uninjured mice and was found to have no inhibitory action on the response to ionophore 90 min later. CX and Act-D inhibit protein synthesis by very different mechanisms, inhibition of translation and of transcription, respectively. Because both prevented recovery of the endothelium-dependent responses, we conclude that one or more rapidly synthesized proteins are required for the recovery.

Abstract:
The Basic Law, whose 60th anniversary we celebrate today, is not identical with the Constitution that was enacted on 23 May 1949. In the sixty years of its existence, it has been amended fifty-four times. Further amendments are under way. Many amendments concerned more than just one article. A little more than half of the 146 articles of the original text still read as they were framed in 1949. However, twenty-six of these unchanged articles are part of the “Transitional and Concluding Provisions.” A number of them were limited to one singular act of application, such as Art. 136 I (“The Bundesrat [Federal Council] shall convene for the first time on the day the Bundestag [national parliament] first convenes.”), and lost their normative value with the completion of the given act. A little less than half of the original articles, and the Preamble, have been subject to amendments; some of them several times. The forerunner is Art. 106 (apportionment of tax revenue), with six amendments. In addition, forty-seven articles have been added to the original text, some of which were repealed later.

Abstract:
In South Africa, as in most jurisdictions which profess to be based on an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom, the right against compelled self-incrimination is a guaranteed Constitutional right. This study is prompted by the realization that the right against self-incrimination is being undermined and eroded by an aspect of South Africa’s bail laws. The current study addresses the constitutional validity of section 60(11B)(c) of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 in so far as it allows for the admission of incriminating evidence at trial, in contravention of the accused’s right against self-incrimination, which incriminatory evidence was tendered by the applicant during a bail application in circumstances where the applicant was compelled to prove that he would be acquitted at trial where reliance is placed on a weak State’s case in proving exceptional circumstances in compliance with section 60(11)(a) of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977. Whilst section 60(11B)(c) of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 is undoubtedly aimed at combatting crime, the pre-occupation with crime control measures threatens to undermine individual liberty and poses a threat to our Constitutional project of building a human rights culture. I advance an argument which supports the view that section 60(11B)(c) of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 is unconstitutional, in the above context, in that it infringes upon the accused’s right against compelled self-incrimination at trial and does not amount to a justifiable limitation on the rights of an accused in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom. I also advance an alternative legal remedy aimed at fulfilling the initial mischief which Section 60(11B)(c) of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 was designed to prevent in order to bring the section in line with the Constitution and a rights-based society.

Abstract:
Magister Legum - LLM
In South Africa, as in most jurisdictions, the presumption of innocence is a guaranteed constitutional right. The rationale of the presumption lies in the protection which it offers, since a person charged with a criminal offence stands to lose dearly in personal liberty, in social life and psychological well-being. The presumption is, therefore, a pivotal element of a culture of democracy and human rights. This study is prompted by the realisation that the presumption of innocence, which ought to constitute one of the most fundamental rights in any criminal justice system, is being eroded steadily in South Africa. In this regard, a significant area of concern is the current bail laws which, in my estimation, make a big dent into the right to be presumed innocent. The bail laws are part of government’s policies directed at fighting crime. However, the pre-occupation with crime control measures threatens to reverse the hard-won rights of the accused and threatens to undermine individual liberty. Also, these measures are incompatible with the constitutional commitment to a culture of human rights.

Abstract:
This paper tries to answer the question related to the implementation of one of Europe's most influential EU-directives, the Water Framework Directive. The Directive requires Member States to achieve good ecological potential and good surface water chemical status for bodies of water until year 2015. If the states cannot achieve those objectives within this period, then there may be grounds for exemptions from the requirement to prevent further deterioration of to achieve good status under specific conditions. One of those conditions could be that, the completing the improvements within the timescale would be disproportionately expensive. Question which is examined in this paper is, what criteria would be most appropriate for determining the disproportionate costs. Based on the review of most WFD-related studies and EU legislation are selected criteria, which should be used for the assessment of the disproportionate costs.

Full text
Abstract:
The great novelist and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 – 1832) arguably made his most significant contribution to the artistic world with his literary masterpiece Faust I. Goethe’s love of music and melody is evident throughout all of Faust, particularly in the expressive poetry of the character of Gretchen, whose meaningful words gave inspiration to a variety of musical manifestations, especially in German Lied. This document serves as a performance guide for vocalists. It provides vital information on the setting and arrangement of the poetry within the musical settings, the background and significance of the composer and his works, and the organization of the music. The examination of each piece will involve assessment of musical phrasing, tessitura, and overall vocal complexity in eight German Lieder settings of Gretchen’s soliloquy “Ach neige, du Schmerzenreiche” from Goethe’s Faust. The suggestions within the investigations are based on examination of pedagogical practices as well as personal experience and discoveries made while singing and performing these pieces. Through an investigation of each piece, the singer will be able to attain a successful understanding of the framework and approach to the music and poetry, and thereby achieve awareness of accurate performance practice. This document examines in order of composition, the settings by Bettina von Arnim, Franz Schubert (including the completed fragment as arranged by Benjamin Britten), Conrad Kreutzer, Bernhard Klein, Johann Loewe, Robert Schumann, Hugo Wolf, and Fredric Joseph Kroll. Because this document serves to investigate only German Lieder settings, it will not examine the choral works of Hans Pfitzner, Antoni Radziwill, Julius Röntgen, Giuseppe Verdi’s Italian setting “Deh, pietoso, oh Addolorata,” nor Richard Wagner’s Melodram. This document will also very briefly discuss the lost and inaccessible settings of Gretchen’s prayer, including those of Carl Debrois van Bruyck, Edmund von Freyhold, Moritz Hauptmann, Justus Lecerf, Leopold Lenz, Louis Schlottmann, and Hans Sommer.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Mothers who deliver prematurely often have a delay in lactogenesis II and subsequent milk supply. Furthermore, due to the inability of their babies to breastfeed immediately after birth, these mothers are 'pump dependent' during both initiation and establishment of lactation. Apparently, there are no evidence based guidelines for the expression regime but some data suggesting that expression regimes for both breasts should be at least five times per day and at least 100 minutes expressing time per day. The project was set out to document the self selected current expression regimes of the preterm mothers from day 10 to 60 postpartum. It defined how various aspects of breast expression, such as frequency and interval, impact on the synthesis and production of milk. In addition, it determined the variations in the composition of preterm mother's milk. The collection of 24hr expression data and milk samples at each expression of each breast, each day, of 25 preterm mothers (<32 gestation age) from the neonatal intensive care unit in King Edward Memorial Hospital, Western Australia on day 10, 15-20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 postpartum showed that during the 'pump dependent' period (day 10 20), the frequency of expression for both breasts was 6, 6-7, 3-9 times per day (median, IQR, range) and total duration with the pump was 115, 80-160, 32-320 minute per day (median, IQR, range). Furthermore, during the 'transition from exclusively expressing to exclusively breastfeeding' period (day 30-60), frequency of expression/breastfeed and total duration of milk removal (both expressing and breastfeeding) for both breasts were 6, 5-7, 1-9 and 135, 75-170, 25-320, respectively (median, IQR, range). ... These nutrients make up the energy content of milk, thus the energy content of milk also varied greatly between mothers. Therefore, milk from individual preterm mothers varies greatly for individual values for fat, total protein, lactose and energy and this should be taken into account when calculating the level of fortification required for individual babies. The results suggest that when fortifying mother's milk, weekly measurement of fat and protein in milk would provide good estimates on which to base fortification requirements. The concentration of sIgA plus lactoferrin formed 32% of the total proteins in breastmilk. However there was large variations in the concentration of sIgA and lactoferrin (median, IQR, range: 0.82, 0.59-1.13, 0.05-2.93g/l and 2.41, 1.52-3.52, 0.04-8.82g/l, respectively) between mothers. Therefore the level of protection provided by these two proteins could differ greatly between babies. Further research on the relationship between the concentration of sIgA and lactoferrin in milk and the onset of infection would indicate the minimum amount of these proteins needed for the babies to benefit from the immune protection provided by their mother's milk. The hourly breast expression method and regression analysis of actual milk yield and interval since previous expression provides information that identifies the potential milk synthesis capacity of the breasts of the mothers and the impact of the interval between expressions on the milk production of the mothers. This information can be applied to individualize the interval between expression regimes to optimise milk production and minimize the demand on the mother. In addition, determining the changes in the milk composition of individual mothers would provide a more precise base to fortify their milk for their preterm babies.

Abstract:
We establish asymptotic links between two classes of stochastic volatility models describing the same derivative market : - a generic stochastic instantaneous volatility (SInsV) model, whose SDE system is a formal Wiener chaos without any specified state variable. - a sliding stochastic implied volatility (SImpV) class, another market model describing explicitly the joint dynamics of the underlying and of the associated European option surface. Each of these connections is achieved by layer, between a group of SInsV coefficients and set of (static and dynamic) SImpV differentials. The asymptotic approach leads to these cross-differentials being taken at the zero-expiry, At-The-Money point. We progress from a simple single-underlying and bi-dimensional setup, first to a multi-dimensional configuration, and then to a term-structure framework. We expose the structural modelling constraints and the asymmetry between the direct problem (from SInsV to SImpV) and the inverse one. We show that this Asymptotic Chaos Expansion (ACE) methodology is a powerful tool for model design and analysis. Focusing on local volatility models and their extensions, we compare ACE with the literature and exhibit a systematic bias in Gatheral's heuristics. In the multi-dimensional context we focus on stochastic-weights baskets, for which ACE provides intuitive results underlining the embedded induction. In the interest rates environment, we derive the first layer of smile descriptors for caplets, swaptions and bond options, within both a SV-HJM and a SV-LMM framework. Also, we prove that ACE can be automated for generic models, at any order, without formal calculus. The interest this algorithm is demonstrated by computing manually the 2nd and 3rd layers, in a generic bi-dimensional SInsV model. We present the applicative potential of ACE for calibration, pricing, hedging or relative value purposes, illustrated with numerical tests on the CEV-SABR model
Nous établissons les liens asymptotique entre deux catégories de modèles à volatilité stochastique décrivant le même marché dérivé: - un modèle générique à volatilité stochastique instantanée (SInsV) , dont le système d'EDS est un chaos de Wiener formel, spécifié sans aucune variable d'état. - une classe à volatilité implicite stochastique glissante (SImpV), qui est un autre modèle de marché, décrivant explicitement la dynamique conjointe du sous-jacent et de la surface d'options Européennes associées. Chacune de ces connexions est atteinte couche par couche, entre un groupe de coefficients SInsV et un ensemble de differentielles SImpV (statiques et dynamiques). L'approche asymptotique conduit à ce que ces différentielles croisees soient prises à l'expiration zéro, au point ATM. Nous progressons d'une configuration simple, bi-dimensionnelle à sous-jacent unique, d'abord vers une configuration multi-dimensionnelle, puis vers un cadre à structure par terme. Nous exposons les contraintes structurelles de modélisation et l'asymétrie entre le problème direct (de SInsV vers SImpV) et inverse. Nous montrons que cette expansion asymptotique en chaos (ACE) est un outil puissant pour la conception et l'analyse de modèles. En se concentrant sur des modèles à volatilité locale et leurs extensions, nous comparons ACE avec la littérature et exhibons un biais systématique dans l'heuristique de Gatheral. Dans le contexte multi-dimensionnel, nous nous concentrons sur des paniers à poids stochastiques, pour lesquels ACE fournit des résultats intuitifs soulignant la recurrence naturelle. Dans l'environnement des taux d'intérêt, nous etablissons la première couche de descripteurs du smile pour les caplets, les swaptions et les options sur obligations, à la fois dans un cadre SV-HJM et un cadre SV-LMM. En outre, nous montrons que ACE peut être automatisé pour des modèles génériques, à n'importe quel ordre, sans calcul formel. L'intérêt de cet algorithme est démontré par le calcul manuel des 2eme et 3eme couches, dans un modèle générique SInsV bi-dimensionnel. Nous présentons le potentiel applicatif d'ACE pour la calibration, l'evaluation, la couverture ou à des fins d'arbitrage, illustré par des tests numériques sur le modèle CEV-SABR

Abstract:
The research project investigated the impact of the Firearms Control Act (FCA) 60 of 2000 in restricting gun ownership for at-risk individuals in the Pretoria North Firearm Registration Centre (FRC) policing area and identified prevention strategy as well as specific factors that contributed to this problem. Secondary prevention focuses on situational factors that reduces the means and opportunity for at-risk people to commit crime and can be applied in restricting firearms from at-risk individuals. One hundred and thirteen legal firearm owners in the Pretoria North FRC policing area responded to the questionnaire schedule. Data was also collected through interviews with Designated Firearm Officers (DFO) and court officials in that area. Specific factors have been identified that contribute to firearms landing in the hands of at-risk individuals in the Pretoria North FRC policing area. They are among others, poor administration of some sections of the FCA like background checks and section 102 and 103 unfitness declarations. The role of the DFO in continuous public education program on the FCA is also invaluable. The same goes to the general public s involvement in the identification of at-risk individuals. The South African Police Service management needs to address issues within the police service such as additional trained personnel, allocation of sufficient logistical resources like vehicles, computers and scanners to ensure effectiveness in restricting firearms from at-risk individuals. Several secondary role players have been identified that should work closely with the primary role players to address this problem. The recommendations drawn from conclusions as well as the inter-departmental role of all the different role players may assist in restricting firearms from at-risk individuals.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter explores citizens’ use of social media during the Covid-19 pandemic in Tanzania against the backdrop of the restrictive Cybercrimes Act 2015. Guided by Uses and Gratifications Theory and through Grounded Theory as a method of inquiry for data collection and data analysis, the study found that, of the 60 citizens interviewed, 75 per cent supported the Cybercrimes Act 2015 as a relevant law but acknowledged that the same Act limits the construction and dissemination of their Covid-19 messages. Only 18.4 per cent of respondents trusted information posted by ordinary citizens while 81.6 per cent trusted information from verifiable sources. Data analysis further reveals a weak citizen journalism practice occasioned mainly by six factors: limited freedom of expression, poor knowledge of Cybercrimes Law, citizen journalism values underutilisation, poor social media literacy skills, and limited message construction and dissemination. Nonetheless, respondents revealed that social media remained the most popular platform on which citizens discuss Covid-19 preventive measures amidst reduced social interactions. Equipping citizens with social media literacy skills was found to be important to reduce misinformation and disinformation. The chapter calls for a review of Section 20 of the Cybercrimes Act 2015 to enable citizens, especially during pandemics, to seek and impart information more effectively, devoid of fear of repercussions.

Abstract:
AbstractPotassium (K) is found in plants as a free ion or in weak complexes. It is easily released from living or decomposing tissues, and it should be considered in fertilization programs. Several factors affect K cycling in agroecosystems, including soil and fertilizer K contributions, plant K content and exports, mineralization rates from residues, soil chemical reactions, rainfall, and time. Soil K+ ions can be leached, remain as exchangeable K, or migrate to non-exchangeable forms. Crop rotations that include vigorous, deep-rooted cover crops capable of exploring non-exchangeable K in soil are an effective strategy for recycling K and can prevent leaching below the rooting zone in light-textured soils. The amount of K released by cover crops depends on biomass production. Potassium recycled with non-harvested components of crops also varies greatly. Research with maize, soybean, and wheat has shown that 50–60% of K accumulated in vegetative tissues is released within 40–45 days. A better understanding of K cycling would greatly improve the efficacy of K management for crop production. When studying K cycling in agricultural systems, it is important to consider: (1) K addition from fertilizers and organic amendments; (2) K left in residues; (3) K partitioning differences among species; (4) soil texture; (5) soil pools that act as temporary sources or sinks for K. In this chapter, the role of cash and cover crops and organic residues on K cycling are explored to better understand how these factors could be integrated into making K fertilizer recommendations.

"PHARMACOKINETICS OF EN0XAPARIN AFTER SINGLE SUBCUTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION OF INCREASING DOSES (20 UP TO 80 MG) TO HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS." In XIth International Congress on Thrombosis and Haemostasis. Schattauer GmbH, 1987. http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-0038-1643216.

Full text
Abstract:
The pharmacokinetics of enoxaparin (E) was randomly studied in 12 healthy male volunteers. Each dose (20-40-60 and 80 mg) was injected via subcutaneous (sc) route with a one-week wash out period. Anti-Xa and anti-IIa activities (ACT), calcium thrombin time (CTT) and Heptest were measured over a 36 hour period. E and the IV th International Heparin Standard were both used as internal standards.The anti IIa and CTT effects were only measurable when the injected dose was higher than 40 mg. The maximum anti-Xa and anti-IIa ACT were obtained 3 to 4 hours after the dose. As anti-IIa ACT is lower than anti-Xa ACT (anti-Xa/anti-IIa ACT ration I .6 to 2), the complete pharmacokinetic description of E was only based on anti-Xa data. Thus, the mean values of the maximal anti-Xa ACT (A max) were respectively: 1.58 ± 0.35 pg/ml; 3.83 ± 0.98 jig/ml, 5.38 ± 0.75 ug/ml and 7.44 ± 1.4 pg/ml for the four doses (20-40-60 and 80 mg). The resorption of E after sc injection was strictly linear whereas the relationships between A max or AUC in the one hand and dose in the other hand were A (anti Xa) Max = 0.0954 (dose) - 0,2083 r = 0.9146/p < 0.001; n = 48) and AUC (0 - 36 h) = 0.9117 (dose) - 7.59 (r = 0.9133/p < 0.001; n = 48). The mean residence time of E was close to 6 h (5.83 ± 0.86 h for D = 40 mg; 6.19 ± 0.74 h for D = 60 mg and 6.44 ± 0.76 h for 80 mg) indicating that around 50% of the total anti Xa ACT is induced in a 6 hour interval. The apparent volume of distribution V is close to 61 (6.59 1 ±1.33 1 for D = 60 mg) and the total Dody clearance is equal to 1.25 1/h, indicating the rate of depolymerisation of enoxaparin is lower than that of heparin. Plasma elimination half-life of anti-Xa ACT is equal to 4.36 ± 1.07 h (D = 40 mg) whereas that of anti-IIa ACT is shorter, fi) = 2.1 h). These results indicate that enoxaparin exhibits i) a differential anti-Xa/anti-IIa ACT profile, ii) a linear relationship between dose and anti-Xa/anti-IIa ACT and iii) a kinetic profile which is significantly different from that of standard heparin.

Abstract:
The bus system is a critical component of sustainable urban transportation. However, due to the significant uncertainties in passenger demand and traffic conditions, bus operation is unstable in nature and bus bunching has become a common phenomenon that undermines the reliability and efficiency of bus services. Despite recent advances in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) on traffic control, little research has focused on bus fleet control due to the tricky asynchronous characteristic---control actions only happen when a bus arrives at a bus stop and thus agents do not act simultaneously. In this study, we formulate route-level bus fleet control as an asynchronous multi-agent reinforcement learning (ASMR) problem and extend the classical actor-critic architecture to handle the asynchronous issue. Specifically, we design a novel critic network to effectively approximate the marginal contribution for other agents, in which graph attention neural network is used to conduct inductive learning for policy evaluation. The critic structure also helps the ego agent optimize its policy more efficiently. We evaluate the proposed framework on real-world bus services and actual passenger demand derived from smart card data. Our results show that the proposed model outperforms both traditional headway-based control methods and existing MARL methods.

Abstract:
Honeywell Engines, Systems & Services has developed the Advanced Combustion Tool (ACT) CFD process to rapidly analyze the performance of a combustor configuration from a given fuel injector, CAD geometry and engine cycle information. ACT integrates and streamlines the traditional steps of generating and specifying geometry, mesh, physical models, boundary conditions, initial conditions, convergence criteria and post-processing. Notably, ACT utilizes several key features to reduce cycle time and improve fidelity in the CFD analysis process: a high-pressure spray diagnostic facility to obtain fuel droplet boundary conditions, feature-based macros to parametrically automate geometry and mesh generation, preprocessors to simplify and standardize boundary condition and physical model specification, and post-processors to provide graphical and analytical responses. This integrated process for CFD modeling and optimization is the subject of this paper. A demonstration of this process is the numerical prediction of the TFE731-60 combustor flowfield on a 30 degree sector model compared to experimentally measured results.

Full text
Abstract:
Activated complex theory (ACT) has been applying as an effective tool to connect the kinetics (reaction rate constant, k) and thermodynamics parameters (including standard enthalpy of activation, ΔH++; standard entropy of activation, ΔS++; standard Gibbs free energy of activation, ΔG++) especially when evaluating lipid oxidation. The unit of the Planck’s constant (hP) in ACT is Jžs, in which the time unit is the second (s). The failure to correctly cancel the time units could have a significant impact on the predicted standard entropy of activation. Considering there were some improper calculations or mistakes often found in papers published recently in 2014‒2019, this abstract was thus presented. Raw data obtained from the published papers mainly in 2014‒2019 accordingly were used to calculate the corrected thermodynamics parameters. Unit conversions (1 h=60 min=3600 s) should always be explicitly included when calculating ΔS++ using ACT especially for the first-order reactions. That is, an increase in the reported calculated values of ΔS++ in the ACT by 34.041609 and 68.083218 J/(mol·K) can be found for the units of kinetic constants min‒1 and h‒1 in a first-order reaction, respectively. Thus, this abstract seems to be vital important to improve the correct use of ACT. In conclusion, the inconsistent units did exist to a large degree after reviewing several published papers, the abstract is expected to further improve the understanding and application of the well-known theory and further accelerate the practical applications of the scientific investigations for lipid oxidation evaluation.

Full text
Abstract:
The current paper presents the results from a comprehensive set of experimental tests on the first prototype active control turbocharger allowing a final evaluation of the first prototype of the active control turbocharger to be gained in a simulated-engine test rig conditions (since hot engine exhaust flow was simulated through equivalent compressed air cold flow test conditions). Data was obtained throughout the turbocharger speed and load range during unsteady operation. Three modes of testing were employed: FGT (Fixed Geometry Turbocharger), VGT (Variable Geometry Turbocharger) and ACT (Active Control Turbocharger). FGT and VGT tests were employed as a reference (of turbochargers predominantly in use today) against which ACT performance was compared. The effects of phasing the variable area device at 30°, 60°, 90° and 240° relative to the pulse generator opening time were assessed. Overall, the Active Control Turbocharger provided encouraging results in terms of the benefit in actual power recovered. The current system is penalised by an inefficient area-regulating design, but it was the easiest and most reliable method to carry out the investigation with, in this first prototype attempt. ACT offers a distinct potential for increased internal combustion engine power output compared to current state-of-the-art, VGT-equipped engines.

Full text
Abstract:
A rapidly increasing body of data indicates that the vascular endothelium plays an active role in the development of inflammatory and thrombotic processes. Our laboratory has focused on the modulation of certain endothelial cell functions by inflammatory/immune mediators. Initially, we demonstrated that human monocyte derived interleukin-1 (hmIL-1) can act directly on cultured human endothelial cells (HEC) to increase the expression of tissue factor procoagulant activity in a time- and protein-synthesis dependent fashion (J. Exp. Med. 160:618, 1984). Increased expression of HEC tissue factor was also elicited with recombinant IL-1α (rlL-lα), rIL-1 β, and recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rTNF), as well as with bacterial endotoxin (1 ipopolysaccharide, LPS) (Am. J. Pathol. 121:393, 1985; Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:4533, 1986). The kinetics of the HEC tissue factor responses to these stimuli were similar, demonstrating a rapid use rise to peak activity at ~ 4 hr, and a decline toward basal levels by 24 hr. This characteristic decline in tissue factor PCA after prolonged incubation with IL-1 or TNF was accompanied by selective endothelial hyporesponsiveness to the initially stimulating monokine. Interestingly, the effects of IL-1 and TNF were found to be additive even at apparent maximal doses of the individual monokines. We have also examined the effects of IL-1 and other mediators on HEC production of fibrinolytic components (J. Clin. Invest. 78:587, 1986). HEC monolayers which had been treated for 24 hr with IL-1 or TNF exhibited decreased tissue type plasminogen activator (tPA) and increased plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) as assessed in functional and immunological assays. Thus, certain inflammatory mediators such as IL-1 and TNF can act on vascular endothelial cells to induce the expression of tissue factor in a rapid and transient fashion, and to decrease the expression of fibrinolytic activity in a more prolonged fashion. In a parallel series of studies, we have demonstrated that IL-1, TNF and LPS also act on HEC to increase the adhesion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), monocytes and the related cell lines HL-60 and U937 (J. Clin. Invest. 76:2003, 1985; Fed. Proc. 46:405A, 1987). The kinetics of this modulation of HEC adhesiveness parallel that of the change in tissue factor PCA. Recently, we have developed two monoclonal antibodies (mAb), H4/18 and H18/7, which identify a surface antigen expressed on monokine- and LPS-stimulated HEC but not on unstimulated HEC. The mediator specificity, kinetics, and protein synthesis-dependence of the expression of this antigen correlate with increased HEC adhesiveness for leukocytes. Neither mAb binds to unstimulated or stimulated PMN, HL-60 cells or dermal fibroblasts. H18/7 inhibits the adhesion of PMN (>50%) and HL-60 cells (>60%) to stimulated HEC by comparison to isotype matched control mAb; H4/18 also inhibits HL-60 adhesion but to a lesser extent. H4/18 and H18/7 immunoprecipitate the same polypeptides from biosynthetically-1abeled monokine-stimulated HEC, but not unstimulated HEC. We have designated this inducible endothelial cell surface protein, endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (E-LAM 1). Thus, vascular endothelium can be activated by inflammatory/immune mediators to express both prothrombotic and pro-inflammatory functions. In vivo, these endothelial responses may contribute to a variety of pathophysiologic processes.

Abstract:
During cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB), Heparin inhibits EXa (EXal), thrombin and platelet activity and is also reported to induce fibrinolysis. Eragmin (Erag) has 25% thrombin inhibition capacity as related to that of Heparin (Hep). An in_vitro study was performed to compare Frag with Hep by circulating blood in a pure artificial system. In 20 experiments, 400 ml of freshly collected blood with Frag or Hep were recycled for 2 h. HLM was primed with 400 ml of Ringeracetate. Blood sampling: donor, blood pack and every 20 min from the oxygenator. V_a£i£ble£/jassay/:ACT/Hemochron/5 APTT , TT and NT/Nyegaard/;FXaI, FVIII and ATIiT t"ATA)/amydolytic/; AT 111 (ATAg) and vWF/IEP/;Plasminogen (Pig) and albumine/immuno-diffusion/;FDP/Wellcome/;Platelet function/Adeplat S/;Fibrinogen (Fbg)/clottable/;Hemolysis (HL)/photometric/; (β -Thromboglobulin ((βTG)/RTA/;EVF, Hb, platelet count (PC) and Leucocyte count (LC)/ conventional). Corrections for hemo-/plasma dilutions were calculated. Dosages (n): Frag: 750 (1), 1500 (3), 2100 (4), 2500 (4) FXal-U (U); Hep: 1000 (3), 1500 (6) IU clinical level. Clotting only occurred at Frag 750 (1) and 1500 (2) U, when ACT, APTT, FVIII, Fbg and ATA were significantly lowered. Generally, PC fell 75% during the recycling, while PF was constant'∼20% and (βTG increased. Neither presence of FDP nor Pig consumption were detected. FXal, ACT, APTT, TT and NT were dose dependent for both drugs. ATA was directly dose-related to Frag but inversely to Hep. LC decreased with the Frag-dose but inversely to that of Hep. HL increased generally. Several proteins increased (clotting excl): Fbg 30%, ATAg 25%, ATA 45?o and vWF 60%. Conclusions. Prevention of clotting required about the double dosage of Frag. Shortened ACT and APTT predicted clotting while the levels of FXal, TT and NT did not. Thus, an effective thrombin inhibition is needed under this conditions. Consumptions of FVIII, Fbg and ATA but no further drop in PC at clotting, indicate weak platelet aggregation involvement. Absence of fibrinolytic signs supports that the fibrinolysis seen at CPB, is not a genuine effect of Hep (or Frag). Increases in some proteins may be caused by cytolysis. The rise in vWF is probably due to release from platelet surfaces.

Abstract:
Calcification in the abdominal artery and endothelial cell function of the peripheral veins were studied in the patients recieving maintenance hemodialysis for the chronic renal failure.The grade of calcification was expressed by the aortic calcification index (ACI) calculation from the abdominal CT scan films. The endothelial cell function was estimated from the release capasity for tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and von Willebrand factor (vWF), and the fibrinolytic capacity (by ELT and fibrin plate lysis area) during 10-min venous occlusion (VO) of the cubital vein. The dialysed patients were divided into 4 groups according to the duration of hemodialysis : group A ; under 1 year (n=7), group B ; 1-4 years (n=14), group C ; 4-7 years (n=15) and group D ; 7-10 years (n=8).The level (X + SD) of vWF : Ag, vWF act. (RCoF) and t-PA in patients before VO were 439 ± 255(%),171 ± 42(%), 4.2 ± 0.6(ng/ml) in group A, 292 ± 157, 151 ± 35, 4.1 ± 1.2 in group B, 174 ± 114, 133 ± 47, 3.7 ± 0.8 in group C and 130 + 27, 66 ± 21, 3.1 ± 0.7 in group D, respectively. With the increase in the duration of hemodialysis, the release capacity for vWF and t-PA, and the fibrinolytic capacity during VO decreased regardless of the aggravation of fibrinolytic activity before VO, When the activity was estimated by ELT, Cl-inactivator resistant fibrinolytic activity and fibrin lysis area. These findings are thought to reflect the exhaustion of endotherial cells. In elder patients (60-80 years old), the release capacity for vWF and t-PA during VO decreased with the increase in the ACI level.It is conclude that the patients on chronic hemodialysis have a greater incidence of calcification of abdominal artery and lower function of endothelial cells in the cubital vein than non-dialysed control.

Abstract:
In February 2008, the Brazilian Federal Government created the Citizenship Territories Program, whose purpose is to promote and accelerate the elimination of poverty and social inequality in rural areas, including gender, race and ethnicity, through a sustainable territorial development strategy. The choice of the territories entered in the Citizenship Territories Program results from pre-defined criteria, examples of the low Human Development Index (HDI) and low economic dynamism, in which were chosen 60 territories to be benefited with structuring actions in 2008 and more 60 in 2009, totaling 120, divided into five regions of Brazil, where, within these territories, are being applied three axes to support productive activities, citizenship and access to rights and the qualification of the infrastructure. In this sense, this article aims to demonstrate the challenges of combating rural exodus, since the implementation of this Program in the North Plateau of Santa Catarina State, specifically in the municipalities of São Bento do Sul and Rio Negrinho, Citizenship Territories Program members. The case study is based on bibliographic and documentary research; data analysis provided by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), and; in analysis of thematic maps produced in environment of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). With the found results expected to ratify that despite the efforts and actions taken by the Citizenship Territories Program, in these members municipalities, public policy has not been able to be effective in combating rural exodus, where it is believed that the appeal to such an act are still insufficient.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper studies the effect of large louver angles on the performance of large pitch multilouvered fins at low Reynolds numbers. The Reynolds number based on face velocity and louver pitch is varied between 50 and 300. Louver angles are varied from 20° to 60° for fin pitch ratios of 1.5 and 2.0. It is found that increasing louver angle has a favorable effect on flow efficiency up to a certain point, beyond which the flow efficiency decreases. The maximum flow efficiency is realized at smaller louver angles as the Reynolds number increases. The drop in flow efficiency is attributed to the development of recirculation zones which act as blockages. In spite of the decrease in flow efficiency, the heat transfer coefficient increases with louver angle for all the cases studied. It is found that as louver angle increases, impingement heat transfer at the leading surface of louvers becomes a dominant mode of heat transfer. Friction factors also increase with louver angle, primarily due to an increase in form drag.

Full text
Abstract:
More than 60 countries in the world have already implemented instant payment systems (IPS). However, in many cases they have been operational mainly for person-to-person transactions. This study looks at the challenges IPS may face in developing economies like Colombia as they advance further into the person-to-business transactions space. Using a survey on Colombian merchants (IV-2020), the study explores the factors associated with merchants´ propensity to adopt instant payments and those associated with the adoption of current electronic payment alternatives. It shows that IPS will need to have a broad strategy to penetrate the person-to-business space, as they will have to compete with the low marginal costs and immediacy that cash already offers and the high levels of informality in the commerce sector, especially for micro businesses. Furthermore, IPS will have to meet the high expectations merchants have about instant payments enabling access to other financial services, enhancing their competitiveness, and increasing their bottom line.

Full text
Abstract:
We document a strong empirical connection between corporate taxation and the manufacturing labor share, both in the US and across OECD countries. Our estimates associate 30 percent to 60 percent of the observed decline in labor shares with the fall in corporate taxation. Using an equilibrium model of an industry where firms differ in their capital intensities, we show that lower corporate tax rates reduce the labor share by raising the market share of capital-intensive firms. The tax elasticity of the labor share depends on the joint distribution of labor intensities and value added at the micro level. Given the empirical distribution in the US manufacturing sector, our quantitative analysis suggests that corporate tax cuts explain a significant part of the decline in the manufacturing labor share since the 1950s. The shift away from traditionally large, labor-intensive production units raised the concentration of market shares and reduced the concentration of employment.

Smit, Timo. Delivering the Compact: Towards a More Capable and Gender-balanced EU Civilian CSDP. Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, November 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.55163/jipm5735.

Full text
Abstract:
European Union (EU) member states established a political compact in 2018 to strengthen the civilian dimension of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). Among other things, they committed to raise the number and share of seconded personnel in civilian CSDP missions to at least 70 per cent and to promote a better representation of women at all levels. The compact has been regarded positively despite mixed results. Personnel secondments have not substantially increased and there remains significant variation in burden sharing between EU member states. The share of seconded personnel actually decreased overall—from 66 per cent in 2018 to 60 per cent in 2022—and in almost every mission. Women’s representation has increased modestly in recent years and reached 24 per cent in 2022. Civilian CSDP is at a critical juncture. EU member states will adopt a new Civilian CSDP Compact by mid 2023. Several trends that were not conducive to raising the share of seconded personnel continued during the implementation of the current compact, but some of these may be reversing. This paper makes recommendations on how EU member states can renew and complement their commitments on increasing secondments and women’s representation, based on the ongoing need to strengthen civilian CSDP missions and on lessons learned from the current compact.

Abstract:
New variants of concern (VOCs) now account for 67% of all Ontario SARS-CoV-2 infections. Compared with early variants of SARS-CoV-2, VOCs are associated with a 63% increased risk of hospitalization, a 103% increased risk of intensive care unit (ICU) admission and a 56% increased risk of death due to COVID-19. VOCs are having a substantial impact on Ontario’s healthcare system. On March 28, 2021, the daily number of new SARS-CoV-2 infections in Ontario reached the daily number of cases observed near the height of the second wave, at the start of the province-wide lockdown, on December 26, 2020. The number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 is now 21% higher than at the start of the province-wide lockdown, while ICU occupancy is 28% higher (Figure 1). The percentage of COVID-19 patients in ICUs who are younger than 60 years is about 50% higher now than it was prior to the start of the province-wide lockdown. Because the increased risk of COVID-19 hospitalization, ICU admission and death with VOCs is most pronounced 14 to 28 days after diagnosis, there will be significant delays until the full burden to the health care system becomes apparent.

Abstract:
Protracted crises are increasing and becoming compounded, but financing solutions for humanitarian and social assistance in fragile and conflict-affected settings (FCAS) are not keeping up. UN consolidated (humanitarian/emergency) appeals have, over the past decade, been around 60 per cent-funded, despite growing exponentially in size. Social protection coverage globally remains limited, with only an estimated 45 per cent of the world’s population having access to any form of social protection. This figure dips below 10 per cent in many low-income countries (Development Initiatives 2020; ILO 2017). The lack of coverage comes at a time when global extreme poverty increased in 2020 for the first time in decades (World Bank 2020). Indeed, by 2030, 85 per cent of the extreme poor – some 342 million people – will live in FCAS (Samman et al. 2018). Financing assistance in these contexts is complex, often arriving late, and/or is earmarked for certain actors and activities, when what is required is flexible, multipartner programming. This is despite commitments made by the signatories to the Grand Bargain and at the World Humanitarian Summit to improve the timeliness, flexibility, transparency, and efficiency of aid. Solutions to these challenges remain poorly understood or caught in humanitarian or social protection silos.

Abstract:
Systemwide interstate performance measures that detail hours and location of congestion on an interstate provide important information for decision makers to plan capital projects and assess operations. This report presents summary of mile-hours of congestion across 8 Indiana interstates and the Indiana toll road. Hours of operation by speed bins (0 to 14 mph, 15 mph to 24 mph, 25 mph to 34 mph, 35 mph to 44 mph, 45 mph to 54 mph, 55 mph to 64 mph, more than 65 mph) for every 0.1 mile of the interstates across a month were tabulated for every hour of every day during the month. The quantities of those six different speed bins are plotted as a stacked bar plot from lower to higher speeds by mile marker for each month. The vertical axis shows the mile marker of the interstate. Horizontally, these stacked bars are cropped at maximum of 250 hours (a little more than 10 days) per month to focus on the lower speeds. To produce these plots, approximately 60 billion records from INRIX across 5 years were analyzed. These speed profiles help identify areas with congestion at system level as well as regions impacted by severe winter storms and construction projects.

Abstract:
Cancer stigma may lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This exploratory, pilot study was conducted in India to explore the degree to which cancer stigma is perceived, experienced, and internalized among adults living with cancer and their primary caregivers. We conducted a survey of cancer patients and their caregivers in two Indian cities. The survey assessed perceived, experienced, and internalized stigma; demographic characteristics; patient cancer history; mental health; and social support. A purposive sample of 20 cancer survivor and caregiver dyads was drawn from an ongoing population-based cohort study. Overall, 85 percent of patients and 75 percent of caregivers reported experiencing some level (i.e., yes response to at least one of the items) of perceived, experienced, or internalized stigma. Both patients (85 percent) and caregivers (65 percent) perceived that community members hold at least one stigmatizing belief or attitude toward people with cancer. About 60 percent of patients reported experiencing stigma, and over one-third of patients and caregivers had internalized stigma. The findings indicate that fatalistic beliefs about cancer are prevalent, and basic education about cancer for the general public, patients, and caregivers is required. Cancer-related stigma in India should continue to be studied to determine and address its prevalence, root causes, and influence on achieving physical and mental health-related outcomes.

Abstract:
Cash is still widely used in Colombia, even among merchants that accept payment cards. Indeed, 60% of these merchants use dissuasive strategies to make their clients pay with cash. This shows that merchant service costs (MSC) for cards are not optimal in the sense of the Tourist Test. We present estimates of MSC compatible with the Tourist Test, such that merchants are indifferent between being paid with cash or cards. We find that cash is less costly than cards at the average retail-sales transaction-value, hence there is no positive optimal MSC at this ticket value. For the average card transaction ticket, the optimal MSC would be positive but far below the rates charge by the industry (0.74% in a short-term scenario). Yet, the additional incentive that sales-tax evasion provides to cash payments reduces the Tourist Test MSC to 0.44%. Our estimates for long-term scenarios yield even lower optimal MSC. An average price cap regulation that strikes a middle ground between these figures, and is complemented with sales-tax evasion measures, should discourage merchant strategies that deter consumers from paying with cards and will accommodate the wide heterogeneity in merchants´ scale, payment processing processes and ticket size. These results should be taken as a guideline as the estimations depend on the underlying assumptions and only consider the merchant´s side of the card industry.

Abstract:
Recent estimates show that almost 15% of the Jamaican population is 60 years old or more. About 7% of this population need help with at least one activity of daily living. The demand for long-term care services is expected to rise as the countrys population grows older. In a context in which family sizes are shrinking and older adults are experiencing poor health and critical socioeconomic vulnerability, the means to meet care needs privatelyeither by relying on unpaid care, provided by their families or close networks, or by purchasing services in the marketare scarce. The regulation and provision of long-term care services in the country is highly fragmented and focuses mostly on those that are economically and socially vulnerable, as part of poverty-relief programs. Residential care is the main long-term care service available in Jamaica. Public institutions target the poor, while the private sector also offers various levels of institutional care, from residential to nursing care. The nongovernmental sector is also heavily involved in the provision of residential care in Jamaica, especially through churches. All things considered, women in the family are still the main providers of care. The main conclusion of the report is that long-term care in Jamaica is still an unmet need that requires the development of comprehensive policies and programs.
