  • cis-and trans-2-butenedialdioximes are synthesized via 2-butenedials, very unstable precursors, and the conformation of the cis-isomer of those compounds is determined by the NMR spectra of 1,4-dideutero-and 1-deutero-cis-2-butenedialdioximes; it is certain that the conformation has an unsymmetrical structure as shown below.

  • In the present review, the merit of ginseng in the improvement of insulin resistance has been introduced. Using the results in previous studies, we found that ginseng or ginsenoside Rh2 has the ability to reduce glucose-insulin index in rats with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance was induced by feeding of fructose-rich chow in rats. Insulin resistance was characterized by regular methods. Effectiveness of ginseng powder or extract Rh2 was identified in this animal model. Also, the application of ginseng for handling of diabetic disorders in China has been discussed. According to Chinese traditional medicine, ginseng is merit in the treatment of diabetic disorders named as Shiaw-Ker in Chinese. Therefore, it is no doubt that ginseng is helpful in the control of diabetic disorders either prevention or the treatment. Otherwise, the potential effect of ginseng on nervous functions shall be investigated in the future.

  • Parents are also a leader of a child so they too must have a leadership at home. Since good parents are not just born but made, in order to be good parents one must be a good leader so this study aims to find a bigger capability of parents and the necessary principles of parental leadership.

  • In political science there is broad interest in whether a newly established democracy succeeds in overcoming the perils of democratisation and matures into a consolidated democracy or regresses to authoritarianism. Taiwan was under martial law for almost four decades. Democratic consolidation, therefore, is primarily a question of how to overcome the legacies of the former authoritarian regime. Nationalism and dysfunctional political institutions are some of the legacies that limit Taiwan's democratic development. The study of these destructive elements is important in the attempt to interpret Taiwan's most recent political history and to formulate effective democracy-building policies. In the following, I would like to address the aforementioned legacies and their implications for Taiwan's current and future democratic development.

  • V. parahaemolyticus is a species of gram- negative asperogenous rod which gives rise to gastroenteritis in man and widely distributed in Korea. In this study, the distribution of V. parahaemolyticus among sea water and various marine products in Inchcon during the period of July 1984 to August 1984 was studied. The following results were obtained: 1. V. parahacmolyticus were isolated from 16(15.4%) of 104 specimens of sea water and various marine products. 8 strains(11.0%) were from fish and marine products 3 (25.0%) from aquarium watar, 3 from chopping board 1 from sea water and 1 from sea water in basin. 2. Among the 14 strains tested, 10 were Kanagawa phenomenon positive and 4 were negative. 3. 16 strains were tested for K antigens and 3 were found to be $K_{17}$, 1 each of $K_{22}, K_{25}, K_{34}$ and $K_{57}$. 7 strains were not agglutinated with any K-type multiserum.

Asymmetric Interdependence and the Selective Diversification of Supply Chains

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the risks of an over-concentration of supply chains in one country. It has motivated stakeholders to pursue diversification strategies. However, a paradox exists. Stakeholders have shied away from a complete decoupling and preferring to selectively enhance economic ties with China. This article explores this paradox by examining supply chain concentration in China as a form of asymmetric interdependence and the countermeasures from the U.S., Japan, Australia, and India to minimize vulnerabilities. It argues that while the COVID-19 disruptions have brought to light the risk of supply chain overconcentration in China, countermeasures are also driven by coercive diplomacy and the deepening U.S.-China rivalry. The paper also examines the feasibility of diversification efforts by focusing on the capacity and capabilities of alternative supply chain hubs. It finds that while states are actively seeking ways to prevent China from using asymmetric interdependence of supply chains and trade to gain political leverage, there are structural limits to the degree of diversification in the short to mid-term.

  • The publication of genetic epidemiology meta-analyses has increased rapidly, but it has been suggested that many of the statistically significant results are false positive. In addition, most such meta-analyses have been redundant, duplicate, and erroneous, leading to research waste. In addition, since most claimed candidate gene associations were false-positives, correctly interpreting the published results is important. In this review, we emphasize the importance of interpreting the results of genetic epidemiology meta-analyses using Bayesian statistics and gene network analysis, which could be applied in other diseases.

  • Prouhet string morphism has been a well investigated morphism in different studies on combinatorics on words. In this paper we consider Prouhet array morphism for the images of binary picture arrays in terms of Parikh q-matrices. We state the formulae to calculate q-counting scattered subwords of the images of any arrays under this array morphism and also investigate the properties such as q-weak ratio property and commutative property under this array morphism in terms of Parikh q- matrices of arrays.

  • In 2010, nearly thirteen hundred Buddhist monks from all over the world converged on to the small Indonesian resort town of Berastagi to celebrate the inauguration of the Taman AlamLumbini, a replica of Myanmar's most iconic Theravada Buddhist temple, the ShwedagonPaya. Nestled on Christian lands within a predominantly Muslim country, the building of the Taman AlamLumbini marked several years of negotiation amongst various religious communities, local government mediators, and patrons. This study makes a preliminary assessment of the ways in which cultural and historical discourses were used by participants to evoke a sense of transnational connectedness outside the realm of formal bilateral diplomacy. Through particular Buddhist ceremonies, rituals, and imagery, Myanmar sponsors and Indonesian patrons promoted a sense of broad pan-Asianism that linked monks, state officials, and local lay practitioners into a single community. A brief examination of the key speeches during the opening ceremony reveals that national interest and identity were still very much in play.

  • This study investigates the impact of board incentives as proxied by directors' remuneration on the financial performance of listed textile companies in Bangladesh. Using Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) and data pertaining to listed textile companies of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) during the period from 2011 to 2017 (resulting in a total of 140 firm-year observations), we have estimated the firm performance equation involving directors' remuneration and board independence as the independent variables and some other control variables like firm age, size, leverage, and operating efficiency. The results reveal that there is a negative association between board remuneration and firm performance. In addition, this study finds no significant relationship between board independence and firm performance of the sample firms. Our findings suggest that higher pay to the board does not stimulate higher firm performance and, in turn, results in shareholders getting nothing in return from this and, hence, is a matter of great concern for them. Moreover, our results indirectly indicate that currently directors' remuneration in Bangladesh is not aligned with the firm performance, which has been emphasized in extant corporate governance literature. Besides, this paper further raises questions about the effectiveness of independent directors in the boards of textile firms in Bangladesh.
