Abstract:
Cold-drawn, high-strength, prestressing (PS) steel strands are widely used in pretensioned concrete (PTC) structures. This paper discusses the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of PS steel embedded in cement mortar and gradually exposed to chlorides. Various stages of the passive to active (P-to-A) transition, which marks the onset of SCC, were investigated using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. The key mechanisms were identified and confirmed using scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive x-ray analysis, x-ray diffarction, and confocal Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the passive film on unstressed PS steel has better electrochemical characteristics than that on conventional steel rebars. However, the residual tensile stress at the surface of PS steels can assist passive film cracking after chloride attack—contrary to the pitting corrosion without cracking of passive film in conventional steels. Further, tests indicated that the concentration of chlorides required to crack the passive film in PS steels can reduce by about 50% when prestressed—as in field structures. Chemical composition, stress state, and microstructural features at the PS steel surface were identified as possible factors influencing the initiation of SCC in PTC structures.

Abstract:
BackgroundThe European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) [1] and the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) [2] recommend a combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment in the management of knee osteoarthritis. New therapies have emerged such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections. Many studies have shown the effectiveness of this treatment, and even its superiority over Hyaluronic Acid.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the prognostic factors related to clinical response to PRP injections in knee osteoarthritis, in order to better select candidates for this therapy.MethodsThis was a single-center, prospective observational study including patients treated by PRP injections for knee osteoarthritis, from a university hospital. The PRP was leukocyte-poor, obtained by an ARTHREX kit, and was injected twice, at one-month intervals. They were assessed at 4 months (M4) and 7 months (M7) after the first injection. Pains on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and function with Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) – Physical Function Shortform (KOOS-PS) were collected. Patients were then classified as responders if they met the OMERACT-OARSI criteria at M7. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed to compare the two groups.ResultsAmong 197 patients, 210 knees were treated. The mean age was 59.8±10.8 years, Body mass index (BMI) was 31.0±6.5. Patellofemoral osteoarthritis was found in 34.3% of the patients, the distribution according to Kellgren and Lawrence stages I, II, III, IV was 11.8%, 33.5%, 40.4% and 14.3% respectively. A majority of patients had failed viscosupplementation (62.4%). At 7 months, 43.8% were classified as responders. Total WOMAC was 49.4±16.1 at M0, 43.6±17.9 at M1, 31.1±19.0 at M4 and 31.9±19.8 at M7, with significant improvement at M4 and M7 versus baseline (p<0.0001). The VAS was 58.5±19.7, 51.6±21.7, 43.7±23.2 and 43.5±23.5 at M0, M1, M4 and M7 respectively (p<0.0001 at all 3 times versus baseline). Regarding treatment satisfaction, 70% of patients considered the treatment effective or very effective at M7. Physical therapy and a heel-buttock distance greater than 35 centimeters were the two criteria associated with a poorer response at M7 on multivariate analysis. The pain VAS at M7 appeared to be lower in patients whose osteoarthritis had been evolving for less than 24 months. Tolerance was good. There was an increase in joint effusions between M0 and M1 (17% vs. 41%, p<0.0001), but no increase in pain.ConclusionPRP treatment in knee osteoarthrisis appeared to be effective and well tolerated, and this response was not associated with the radiographic stage or the type of knee osteoarthritis. In accordance with the recommendations of a group of French experts, this treatment should be proposed in case of failure of drug and rehabilitation treatment, at the same level as hyaluronic acid injections.References[1]Jordan KM et al.

Abstract:
IntroductionSchizophrenic patients have a high incidence of falls and fractures. We evaluated postural stability in schizophrenic patients using computerized static and dynamic posturography (CDP).ObjectivesTo measure normal and perturbed stability in schizophrenics.AimsTo objectively demonstrate postural abnormalities in schizophrenics.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated CDP studies on 54 consecutive schizophrenic patients. CDP was done using FallTrak (R). Patients performed normal stability - eyes open (NS/EO), normal stability- eyes closed (NS/EC), perturbed stability - eyes open (PS/EO), and perturbed stability - eyes closed (PS/EC) for 30 seconds each. Findings were classified as normal or abnormal based on age-matched normative data.ResultsThe ages ranged from 31 to 77 years. There were 34 (63.0%) males and 20 (37.0%) females. Of the total 54 patients, 48 (88.9%) exhibited abnormalities on CDP testing. NS-EO was abnormal in 29 (53.7%), NS-EC was abnormal in 37 (68.5%); both NS-EO and NS-EC were abnormal in 25 (46.3%); PS-EO was abnormal in 27 (50.0%) and PS-EC was abnormal in 20 (37.0%). Both PS-EO and PS-EC were abnormal in 14 (25.9%). Both PS and NS were abnormal in 26 (48.1%). NS was normal in 13 (24.1%) and PS was normal in 21 (38.9%). Both NS and PS were normal in 6 (11.1%) patients.ConclusionsMost schizophrenic patients show abnormalities in both normal and perturbed stability when tested using static and dynamic posturography. Balance was normal in only 11.1 % of the patients. Further studies are needed to evaluate the clinical significance of these findings.

Abstract:
A halophilic marine bacterial strain, PS-C1, was isolated from Sekinchan beach in Selangor, Malaysia. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain PS-C1 was associated with the genus Celeribacter. To date, there have been no reports on enzymes from the genus Celeribacter. The present study reports on the cellular features of Celeribacter sp. PS-C1, its annotated genome sequence, and comparative genome analyses of Celeribacter glycoside hydrolase (GH) enzymes. The genome of strain PS-C1 has a size of 3.87 Mbp and a G+C content of 59.10%, and contains 3739 protein-coding genes. Detailed analysis using the Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes (CAZy) database revealed that Celeribacter genomes harboured at least 12 putative genes encoding industrially important GHs that are grouped as cellulases, β-glucanases, hemicellulases, and starch-degrading enzymes. Herein, the potential applications of these enzymes are discussed. Furthermore, the activities of two types of GHs (β-glucosidase and licheninase) in strain PS-C1 were demonstrated. These findings suggest that strain PS-C1 could be a reservoir of novel GH enzymes for lignocellulosic biomass degradation.

Abstract:
The larvae of insects of the order Coleoptera have been reported to biodegrade plastics aided by their chewing mouthparts and the activities of their gut biota. However, there is no report of this ability by the African palm weevil (Rhynchophorus phoenicis). This study aims to the ability of R. phoenicis larvae to biodegrade polystyrene (PS). A total of 100 R. phoenicis larvae were fed for 21 days with PS foam, and afterwards, the gut contents of survivors were investigated for possible PS-degrading bacteria. Bacterial isolates were screened for PS biodegradation in an Erlenmeyer flask with PS film as the sole carbon source, in a mineral salt medium (MSM) at a temperature of 30oC and a pH of 7, for a period of 28 days. The isolates were used for biodegradation assay under the same conditions, for 60 days. The weight of PS films was determined before and after the biodegradation assay. Chemical changes in the films were confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Two bacterial isolates were recovered from the gut of the only surviving R. phoenicis larvae fed with 100% PS. The isolates were identified based on their 16S rRNA sequences as Lysinibacillus macriodes and Pantoea dispersa with accession numbers OQ652017 and OQ652023 respectively. The isolates caused an 8.8% reduction in the weight of PS film and FTIR spectroscopy results confirmed the formation of groups suggestive of degradation products with the carbonyl group showing up as absorption peaks in the range of 1640-1760 cm-1 and the hydroxylic group at 3000-3700 cm-1 . The isolates were able to produce polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) equivalent to 1.4g/L, under PS degradation conditions. Therefore, coupling the biodegradation of PS with PHAproduction could be useful for the valorization of PS waste.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to develop a novel deep learning (DL) model without requiring large-annotated training datasets for detecting pancreatic cancer (PC) using computed tomography (CT) images. This retrospective diagnostic study was conducted using CT images collected from 2004 and 2019 from 4287 patients diagnosed with PC. We proposed a self-supervised learning algorithm (pseudo-lesion segmentation (PS)) for PC classification, which was trained with and without PS and validated on randomly divided training and validation sets. We further performed cross-racial external validation using open-access CT images from 361 patients. For internal validation, the accuracy and sensitivity for PC classification were 94.3% (92.8–95.4%) and 92.5% (90.0–94.4%), and 95.7% (94.5–96.7%) and 99.3 (98.4–99.7%) for the convolutional neural network (CNN) and transformer-based DL models (both with PS), respectively. Implementing PS on a small-sized training dataset (randomly sampled 10%) increased accuracy by 20.5% and sensitivity by 37.0%. For external validation, the accuracy and sensitivity were 82.5% (78.3–86.1%) and 81.7% (77.3–85.4%) and 87.8% (84.0–90.8%) and 86.5% (82.3–89.8%) for the CNN and transformer-based DL models (both with PS), respectively. PS self-supervised learning can increase DL-based PC classification performance, reliability, and robustness of the model for unseen, and even small, datasets. The proposed DL model is potentially useful for PC diagnosis.

Abstract:
Die europäische Zahlungsdiensterichtlinie enthält ein detailliertes Haftungsregime für Drittmissbrauch im bargeldlosen Zahlungsverkehr, das von den Mitgliedstaaten bis Ende Oktober 2009 in nationales Recht umzusetzen war. Ziel der harmonisierten Haftungsregelungen ist die Verbesserung von Wettbewerbsfreiheit, Rechtssicherheit und Verbraucherschutz sowie die Minderung von Missbrauch. Eine rechtsvergleichende Untersuchung zeigt jedoch, dass die Haftungsordnung diesen Zielvorgaben nicht konsequent folgt und zudem von fundamentalen Grundsätzen des europäischen Haftungsrechts abweicht.
The European Payments Services Directive contains detailed liability regulations concerning the abuse of non cash payments. The deadline of transposal for this Directive passed in October 2009. The key aims of the harmonized liability rules are amendment of competition, legal certainty, consumer protection and future reduction of abuse. However, a comparative analysis reveals a considerable lack of consistency in relation to those goals and a renunciation of basic principles of European liability law.

Abstract:
The amount of taxes paid by multinational enterprises (MNEs) in host and home countries continues to make headline news. Corporate tax regimes, particularly those in many OECD countries, have never been more complex and the competition to attract and retain foreign direct investment (FDI) has perhaps never been so great. All of these political, legal, economic and competitive realities face countries at a time when they need additional budget revenues. At the June 2012 G-20 Summit in Los Cabos, leaders identified base erosion and profit shifting as key fiscal issue to be addressed. Many are expecting this to translate into a new approach to applying existing international tax standards, an increased pressure to eliminate "corporate tax breaks", enact tougher anti-abuse provisions, and less tolerance of aggressive tax planning. There has been an increased critical focus on transfer pricing, corporate restructuring and double tax treaties. Some have suggested that double tax treaties are eroding the domestic tax bases of developing countries, while others conclude that double tax treaties promote development and FDI and thereby expand the tax base. Dividing up a "revenue pie" has never been easy and the implementation of international tax rules to transparently and predictably allocate revenue to avoid double taxation and double non taxation has never been more adversarial between taxpayers and tax authorities and between tax jurisdictions. It was for these reasons that the Global Tax Policy Center of the Institute for Austrian and International Tax Law (Vienna University of Economics and Business) and the International Tax and Investment Center (ITIC) decided to undertake this study. The objective of our study was to look at the development impact of double taxation treaties and, more broadly, how tax policy can help generate economic growth and prosperity. Legally domestic tax laws are normally subordinate to international double taxation treaties, but in reality a double tax treaty only serves a country as well as its domestic tax regime. We've concluded that the problems affecting developing countries lie not with double tax treaties but rather in weak domestic tax legislation. Our study reviews empirical data from 20 developing countries, including LDCs, middle-to-high income developing countries, resource-rich countries, and BRIICS[1] countries. We hope that the empirical analysis and the conclusions that can be drawn from it can help guide policymakers to refocus their policy objectives to boost capital formation, expanding exports, and protect their domestic tax bases. We believe that a country with strong domestic tax legislation can advance their pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals by affectively utilizing double tax treaties and the related international tax rules to more transparently share and grow their tax base.

Full text
Abstract:
This study focuses on the issue of internalised racism depicted in contemporary African American children’s and young adult literature, utilising Critical Race Theory (CRT) as its key theoretical framework. The study addresses three main thesis questions: (i) What effects does internalised racism have on the marginalised characters, and what are its manifestations? (ii) What narrative strategies have been utilised by the authors to help the characters regain and reclaim their sense of self? (iii) What is the contribution of CRT to children’s and young adult literature? Through critical analyses of the following texts-Tanita S Davis’s (2009) Mare’s War, Jacqueline Woodson’s (2007) Feathers and her 1994’s I Hadn’t Meanto Tell You This, Sharon G Flake’s (2005) Who Am I Without Him and her 1998’s The Skin I’m In, and Sapphire’s (1996) Push—the study examines the effects of internalised racism and offers the young characters the way forward. From a CRT standpoint, it is argued that the study shifts the boundary of literary landscape and enriches both race and literary scholarships by offering new messages, viewpoints and positions, and, crucially, developing a new critical discourse regarding the issue of internalised racism, particularly in critical literary research representing children’s and young adult literature. It defamiliarises the very issue that otherwise has become normalised in American racial discourse, and reaffirms the relevance of ‘race, racism, and racialisation’ in the American landscape. It also argues that literary texts included in this study are a consequential chapter of African American history, or “a new collective history”, which can be used to heal both the individual and the collective, balance the stories, and alter the dominant discourse. The study also analyses the concept of paradigmatic optimism typically found in children’s and young adult literature, and argues that this generic feature is not a flaw but is rather a different trait.

Die Regelungen zur Unabhängigkeit des Abschlussprüfers insbesondere bei Abschlussprüfungen konzernverbundener Unternehmen sind in den letzten Jahren - zuletzt in Folge der Finanzkrise 2007-2009 – auf den Prüfstand gestellt worden. Mit der Verordnung (EU) Nr. 537/2014 und der Richtlinie 2014/56/EU und deren Anwendung zum 17.06.2016 sowie der Umsetzung der europäischen Vorgaben auf nationaler Ebene durch das AReG und das APAReG sollte die Unabhängigkeit des Abschlussprüfers gestärkt werden.

The regulations regarding the independence of the auditor in particular when the subject of the audit is an affiliated company, have been critically questioned, at least as a consequence of the financial crisis 2007-2009. With the Regulation (EU) Nr. 537/2014 and the Directive (EU) 2014/56/EU and their application until 17.06.2016, as well as the implementation of the European requirements at national level by AReG and APAReG, the independence of the auditor should be strengthened. An analysis of the legal framework before and after the implementation of the so-called EU audit reform 2014 into German law, demonstrates where improvement has been achieved and where there is still a need for action.

Full text
Abstract:
The draft for a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base Directive in the European Union includes the suggestion for an apportionment formula which allocates taxable group profits to group member corporations. These allocated profits shall then be taxed in the respective Member States. The draft directive delegates the right to define one factor of the apportionment formula, the term "Employee" to the Member States, who are therefore free to choose a narrow or a broad definition, the latter including also atypical employment schemes. Using a game-theoretic approach the paper shows that the individually rational strategy of any Member State to define "Employee" broadly so as to maximize the volume of the apportionment factor and thus maximize the allocated share of taxable income is only the best solution when tax rate differences and differences in the volume of atypical employment schemes are disregarded. If such differentials and the corporate groups' reactions to different Member States' definitions are included in modelling the game's pay-offs a narrow definition of "Employee" yields the highest individual pay-offs to the Member States involved. This change of dominant strategies is triggered by the corporate group's shifting of the employment factor from high-tax to low-tax Member States. Our paper differs from previous research on the economic effects of the CCCTB apportionment formula as it is the first paper identifying and analysing the employment factor and its distorting effects. The paper discusses possible tax minimizing strategies for corporate groups by shifting workforce and develops a model to quantify these potential relocations. Furthermore the paper presents advice to policy makers in their "Employee" definition decision and shows how Member States could use this definition to both minimize outward factor shifting and maximize inward factor shifting.(authors' abstract)

Abstract:
The almost absence of sustainability reports in Portugal prepared using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines in public sector (PS) entities led to the study of the strategic responses to institutional pressures, as suggested by Oliver (1991), in the few entities that publish such reports. The objective of this chapter is to determine the institutional factors that motivated sustainability disclosure in GRI reports. An interpretative approach through open questionnaire was used to analyze the strategic responses to the institutional pressures and expectations provided by PS entities. The results show that not all the institutional factors that lead Portuguese PS entities to disclose their social responsibility are in the acquiescence line, accommodating other strategic responses. Thus, this acquiescence is verified when the consistency with organizational goals is high and when the constraints and the multiplicity of stakeholders are low.

Full text
Abstract:
We have demonstrated a new way to generate subpicosecond pulses with high pulse energy at a high repetition rate. By enhancing the intracavity self-phase modulation in a Nd:phosphate glass regenerative amplifier, we can both amplify the picosecond pulse and broaden the pulse spectrum. The spectrally broadened pulses are then compressed by a pair of gratings to subpicosecond widths. A single Ar-ion laser was used to pump both a neodymium phosphate glass oscillator and a regenerative amplifier.1 The oscillator was actively mode-locked by an acoustooptic modulator to generate 10-ps pulses at 100 MHz with an average power of 50 mW. A seed pulse (~5 pJ) from the oscillator was coupled into the regenerative amplifier which amplified the pulse energy to 16 µJ. Self-phase modulation in the Nd:glass broadened the pulse spectrum to ~15 Å. The pulse was compressed to 1.25 ps by a pair of gratings. To enhance the intracavity self-phase modulation, an unpumped slab of Nd:phosphate glass was inserted into the regenerative amplifier. The pulse spectrum was further broadened to ~33 Å. The pulse was then compressed to 0.55 ps with a pulse energy of 9 µJ and pulse repetition rate of 370 Hz.
