The model of this work represents electrophysiological occurrences with a combination of some phospholipids such as POPC and galactocerebroside lipid bilayers as variable capacitors. The quantum effects of different thicknesses in the mixed membranes of GalC/POPC, Galc/ POPE, and Galc/DPPC have also explicitly been investigated. It is shown that quantum effects can appear in a small region of free spaces within the membrane thickness due to the number and type of lipid's layers. In the presence of external factors such as protein transmembrane and myelin proteins as a resistance, the forces can influence the state of the membrane, which results in a variable capacitance behavior. This allows introducing a capacitive susceptibility which can be resonating with the self-induction of helical coils in myelin proteins, the resonance of which is the main reason for various biological pulses.

Myelin consists of fatty molecules (lipids) which are located in the CNC (central nervous system) and as an insulator around nerve cell axons increases the velocities information to transit from one nerve cell to another tissue like an electrical wire (the axon) with insulating material (myelin) around it. Each axon contains multiple long myelinated parts separated from each other through short gaps called “Nodes of Ranvier” or myelin-sheath gaps. A computational model is presented for the simulation of propagated electromagnetic waves in a critical point between insulated myelin-sheath towards uninsulated node of Ranvier. The QM/MM calculation has been applied for generalizing the node of Ranvier results for computing action potentials and electro chemical behavior of membranes which agree with clusters of voltage-gated ion sodium and potassium channels. The node of Ranvier complexes is an accurate organization of membrane-bound aqueous compartments, and the model presented here represents electrophysiological events with combined realistic structural and physiological data. The quantum effects of different thicknesses in the mixed membranes of GalC/DPPC, have also been specifically investigated. It is shown that quantum effects can appear in a small region of free spaces within the membrane thickness due to the number and type of lipid’s layers. In addition, from the view point of quantum effects by Heisenberg rule, it is shown that quantum tunneling is allowed in some micro positions of membrane capacitor systems, while it is forbidden in other forms.

This article discusses the pros and cons of applying professional income tax. Professional income tax is not mandatory, but an alternative way to pay 2 taxes on self-employment or part-time work. The introduction of this tax can mediate an increase in revenues to the state budget, which is of particular importance for the country in post-crisis conditions.

The Cost

This chapter provides an informal rationalist model of state formation as an exchange between a central authority and a population. In the model, the central authority protects the population against external threats and the population disarms and pays taxes. The model specifies the conditions under which the exchange is self-enforcing, meaning that the parties prefer the exchange to alternative courses of action. These conditions—costly but winnable interstate war—are historically rare, and the cost of such wars can rise beyond the population’s willingness to sacrifice. At this point, the population prefers to avoid war rather than fight it and may prefer an alternative institution to the state if that institution can prevent war and reduce the level of extraction. Thus the modern centralized state is self-undermining rather than self-enforcing. A final section addresses alternative explanations for state formation.

Mao Era

Abstract Scholars of Mao-era history adopt a wide range of approaches to the selection and treatment of source material. Some scholars regard published sources as propaganda, and therefore as biased and unreliable. For many, archival sources are the gold standard; others question the reliability even of the archive and favor materials that escaped the filtering fingers of the state to be found in flea markets or garbage piles. Avoiding the false choice of either accepting sources as received wisdom or dismissing them as biased, the author argues that how scholars read their sources is more important than which they keep and which they throw away. She advocates for a layered approach that accounts for contexts of production and circulation, and further emphasizes the need to make this process of reading sources visible in our writing. A critical, layered reading of three unlikely sources demonstrates the myriad possibilities for analysis that combines the empirical, the discursive, and the self-reflexive.

RESUMEN: La Ley de Instituciones Locales de Euskadi regula la organización y funcionamiento municipal y potencia la autonomía municipal al incrementar respecto a la legislación estatal la capacidad de autoorganización de las entidades locales posibilitando una actuación de los gobiernos locales más transparente y una mejor conciliación de la vida laboral y familiar de las corporativas y corporativos. La Ley busca asimismo potenciar los gobiernos locales y para ello incorpora técnicas de delegación y de forma pionera regula la figura de los directivos públicos profesionales si bien de momento limitada a los municipios con una población superior a los 40.000 habitantes. ABSTRACT: The Act on Local Entities of Euskadi regulates the municipalorganization and functioning and enhances the municipal autonomy by increasing as compared to the State legislation the self-government capacity of local entities enabling a more transparent operation by local governments and a better labour and family reconciliation of municipalities memberships. The Act also seeks to promote local governments and to do this it includes techniques of delegation and in a pioneer way it regulates the figure of public professional managers though only limited to those municipalities with a population exceeding 40.000 inhabitants.

Abstract Operating within the androcentric premises that support idealized models of populist leadership, self-representations cultivated by female populist leaders often involve precarious balancing acts, compelling them to appropriate contextualized traditionalist discourses and modes of power to qualify for conventional leadership models. This article engages with the stylistic performance of populist leadership by Mamata Banerjee of the All India Trinamool Congress in the state of West Bengal, India, focusing on her adoption of the discursive mode of political asceticism, nativist rhetoric, and religious iconography. Through an interpretive analysis of selected party documents, autobiography, and semistructured interviews with Banerjee's followers and critics, the article delineates Banerjee's populist self-fashioning as a political ascetic and explores perceptions of her leadership. The article argues that while the self-makings of female populist leaders remain fraught and contested, they contribute substantially toward redrawing the boundaries of both conventional leadership models and the broader political landscapes they inhabit.

. Ensuring economic security is the independence of the country and the condition for the life of society. That is why economic security is a top national priority. In modern Russia, there are both external and internal threats to the country's economic security. Internal threats pose a great danger; it is their presence that makes the state more vulnerable to external factors. Corruption in our country acts as a form of manifestation of internal threats. This powerful negative factor violates the safety of economic and national security. Corruption occurs in the industry where the criminal has various privileges and powers. At the same time, this crime causes greater economic harm to a citizen, society and the state than any other criminal offense.
