Legal simplification may improve the quality of institutions in industrialised countries that developed over-complex legal systems. In theory, this type of regulatory reform promotes economic efficiency, leading to higher levels of productivity and output. In this paper we use a Panel Factor-Augmented VAR approach to measure the long-run impact of legal-simplification programmes in total factor...

A series of new enantiomerically pure and racemic 1,3-dioxolanes 1-8 was synthesized in good yields and short reaction times by the reaction of salicylaldehyde with commercially available diols using a catalytic amount of Mont K10. Elemental analysis and spectroscopic characterization established the structure of all the newly synthesized compounds. These compounds were tested for their possibl...

We describe an animal model to induce the histogenesis of squamous metaplasia of the cervical columnar epithelium, a condition usually preceding cervical neoplasia. This model is based on dietary retinoid depletion in female mice. Control sibling mice fed the same diet but with all-trans-retinoic acid (at 3 micrograms/g diet) showed the normal endocervical epithelial and glandular columnar morp...

The Malaysian Government has announced the Movement Control Order (MCO) starting 18th March 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. This study attempts assess level of psychological distress among parents university students stranded on campus and out during MCO; identify stressors causing parents. It is a cross sectional using an online self-administered questionnaire done at public in Kuchin...

Context. The kinematic behaviors of thirteen superluminal components observed at 43 GHz in blazar 3C454.3 are investigated and model-fitted terms the precessing jet-nozzle scenario previously proposed. Aims. In order to search for possible precession periodic ejection 3C454.3, divided into following two groups: group-A group-B. Group-A consists six (B4, B5, K2, K3, K09, K14) group-B seven (B1, ...
