Can transparency of information reduce embezzlement? Experimental Evidence from Tanzania

Embezzlement is a major concern. By means of a sequential dictator game, we investigate theoretically and experimentally whether making information more transparent and reducing the number of intermediaries in transfer chains can reduce embezzlement. Consistent with reference-dependent preferences in terms of moral ideal, we show that the impact of transparency is conditional on the length of the transfer chain and on the position of the intermediary in the chain. Its direct effect on image encourages honesty. Its indirect effect via expectations plays in the opposite direction, motivating intermediaries to embezzle more when expecting that the following intermediary will embezzle less

Principales Maladies Zoonotiques des Porocs (Sus scrofa domesticus) a l’Abattoir de la Societe Ivoirienne d’Abataage et de Charcuterie de Yopougon (Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire)

Une étude sur les maladies zoonotiques des porcs (Sus scrofa domesticus) abattus à l’abattoir de la Société Ivoirienne d’Abattage et de Charcuterie a été conduite de septembre 2020 à septembre 2021. Elle avait pour objectif de connaître les motifs de saisies pour cause d’agents pathogènes susceptibles de transmettre des maladies zoonotiques aux consommateurs. Pour ce faire, 32 301 porcs abattus en provenance de 11 localités ont été l’objet d’examens post-mortem réalisés par les services vétérinaires.  Les résultats indiquent que les pathologies zoonotiques identifiées ont été la distomatose, l’échinococcose ainsi que des cas de suspicion de tuberculose. L’échinococcose a été la zoonose la plus fréquente (91,54%) alors que la tuberculose a été la zoonose la plus distribuée dans les organes (100%). La distribution des maladies zoonotiques a varié avec l’organe infecté ainsi que la localité de provenance des porcs abattus. Pour limiter les risques de transmission des zoonoses, des inspections sanitaires systématiques doivent être effectués par les services vétérinaires afin de de prévenir des problèmes éventuels de santé publique.   A study on zoonotic diseases of pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) slaughtered at the slaughterhouse of the Ivorian Slaughterhouse and Charcuterie was conducted from September 2020 to September 2021. Its purpose was to find out the reasons for seizures due to pathogens that could transmit zoonotic diseases to consumers. To this end, 32,301 slaughtered pigs from 11 locations were subjected to post-mortem examinations by veterinary services.  The results indicated that the zoonotic pathologies identified were distomatosis and echinococcosis. However, suspected cases of tuberculosis have been observed. Echinococcosis was the most common zoonosis (91.54%) while tuberculosis was the most distributed zoonosis in the organs (100%). The distribution of zoonotic diseases varied with the infected organ and the locality of origin of the slaughtered pigs. In order to limit the risk of transmission of zoonoses, systematic health inspections must be carried out by veterinary services to prevent possible public health problems

Reduced Na+ and higher K+ channel expression and function contribute to right ventricular origin of arrhythmias in Scn5a+/− mice

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is associated with ventricular tachycardia originating particularly in the right ventricle (RV). We explore electrophysiological features predisposing to such arrhythmic tendency and their possible RV localization in a heterozygotic Scn5a+/− murine model. Nav1.5 mRNA and protein expression were lower in Scn5a+/− than wild-type (WT), with a further reduction in the RV compared with the left ventricle (LV). RVs showed higher expression levels of Kv4.2, Kv4.3 and KChIP2 in both Scn5a+/− and WT. Action potential upstroke velocity and maximum Na+ current (INa) density were correspondingly decreased in Scn5a+/−, with a further reduction in the RV. The voltage dependence of inactivation was shifted to more negative values in Scn5a+/−. These findings are predictive of a localized depolarization abnormality leading to slowed conduction. Persistent Na+ current (IpNa) density was decreased in a similar pattern to INa. RV transient outward current (Ito) density was greater than LV in both WT and Scn5a+/−, and had larger time constants of inactivation. These findings were also consistent with the observation that AP durations were smallest in the RV of Scn5a+/−, fulfilling predictions of an increased heterogeneity of repolarization as an additional possible electrophysiological mechanism for arrhythmogenesis in BrS
