Ghosts in the streets of Athens: Ghostlore and social media
Authors: Nounanaki Aphrodite-Lidia , Kakampoura Rea
Published: November 2023

Ghostlore or ghost-lore is, in short, a subgenre of folklore that focuses on ghostly tales which can be found in both pre-industrial and contemporary contexts. The majority of these stories are connected to houses and other buildings that are either dilapidated or inhabited but can be described mainly as private places. Due to the nature of public places -whether they are connected to people?s experiences or could be described as non-places- it is odd to ?find? ghosts there, as it is odd to ?find? them in parks or streets. However, they remain social places open to multiple interpretations and symbolisms. Through pertinent online entries, mostly uploaded by groups describing their practices as ?investigating? the paranormal or the occult, this paper aims to discuss the connection between ghost-lore and public places, mainly from the city of Athens. Furthermore, a very important aspect demonstrating the effectiveness of these online entries are the comments made by the netizens following these ?investigations?, which result in the formation of new groups. These groups are created online, but are driven by a common interest in ghosts in the offline world. Thus, in order to study how the physical public space is being reinterpreted in light of the supernatural, the paper intends to approach the digital public space of social media.
Neither Germans nor Czechs? Expatriates from the Czech lands in Romanian Banat in the trap of ethnicism
Authors: Pavlásek Michal
Published: November 2023

In our opinion, the scholarly and general ways of perceiving the emigrants
from the Czech lands are based on methodological nationalism, which
identifies the concept of society with the modern national state. Based on
this, Bohemian resettlers who founded several settlements on the southern
border of the Habsburg Empire in present-day Romanian Banat in the early
nineteenth century have hitherto been divided, in the spirit of ethnicism
and methodological nationalism, into Czechs (Bohmen) and Czech Germans
(Deutschbohmen). Against this, an alternative research perspective,
represented by the concept of national indifference, can be applied. The
object of this article is hereby to re-assess of the collective identity of
emigrants resettlers from the Czech lands towards its nationally indifferent
character. We propose to overcome the ethnicist framework of the research on
Bohemian resettlers by introducing what we term as the inclusive approach to
expatriatism. This article is based on archival and local written sources
and ethnographic field research (interviews) collected during the years
2010-2017.

The urgency of the problem is determined by the fact that in conditions of intensive mining and other technogenic factors, an induced component arises that has a significant impact on the overall seismicity of the region. The scientific analysis of the published works, both domestic and foreign, shows that the issues related to the occurrence of induced seismicity in the development of mineral deposits (including solid ones) are actively discussed, many studies are devoted to the causes of its occurrence, but there is no information in the open press about research in the field of induced seismicity management. Patent analysis also shows the absence of technical solutions related to the management of induced seismicity in the development of solid mineral deposits. The novelty of the method of controlling induced seismicity in the development of solid mineral deposits using drilling and blasting technologies lies in the fact that seismic events are recorded in the corresponding territory and their main characteristics are determined. Moreover, at the first stage, seismically active areas of the territory are identified, at the second stage, the total released seismic energy of seismic events in the contoured areas of the territory is determined, and at the third stage, the actual values of the density of the released seismic energy are compared with its threshold value for each contoured area of the territory. Depending on the result of the comparison, control information is not formed or formed, and the latter is presented in the form of recommendations for reducing the frequency and power of explosions, the number of explosive deposits, reducing the deceleration of explosions during the extraction of solid mineral deposits, as well as the volume of charges laid at the same time. The eastern part of the Orenburg Region, which is characterized by a large number of solid mineral deposits, was selected for implementation. These deposits are being actively developed by the mining campaigns.

The results are presented concerning the analysis of statistical data on failures of the functional units of traction electric drives of the mining dump trucks. It is established that the costs of failure recovery in the synchronous generator are higher than in a control cabinet and an asynchronous traction motor, and one of the causes of defects in the bearing assembly of the generator is the effect of self-supporting axial shock vibrations. And in addition to the effect of vibrations on the reliability of the synchronous generator, they are also the cause of the development of professional noise-vibration pathology, which in turn leads to a decrease in the efficiency of drivers of the dump trucks and to the adverse consequences on their body. It is revealed that such an impact on the generator is due to the fact that when moving, the dump truck overcomes large differences and slopes, which contributes to the appearance of electric drive trim levels. To determine the causes of axial shock vibrations, full-scale tests were carried out on 2 mining dump trucks during their operation at a coal mine in the Kemerovo region, it was revealed that the maximum vibration amplitudes are achieved in the range of 100–400 Hz at 1900 rpm and at a rated electrical load, and the overall vibration level across the spectrum was 18 m/s2. It is established that to solve the problem it is required to follow the following recommendations: obtain a shock mode on the isolated generator at the plant stand, record the conditions of its occurrence and the stability limits; block the axial movement of the bearing by installing radial or axial spacers, make sure that the shock mode does not occur; carry out periodic monitoring to measure vibrations in the functional units of the traction electric drive during operation. The presented recommendations will allow to increase the trouble-free operation time of the traction electric drive and improve the safety of mining dump truck drivers.
Some Aspects of Hazards Analysis and Assessment of the Degree of Occupational Risk Based on a Risk-Based Approach
Authors:   LLC EXPLON, Gerasimenko N.M.
Published: November 2023

Occupational safety is a priority direction in the policy of modern companies in the world. The fundamental category of the occupational safety is a risk-oriented approach. The purpose of the study is to select a methodological approach to assessing occupational risks in the workplaces with identified prerequisites for the realization of hazards and realized hazardous events. The object of the study is a service company that provides services for the maintenance of engineering life support systems of buildings and vehicle management. Over the past 10 years, 6 minor injuries were registered at the enterprise. The realization of 86 % of minor injuries was facilitated by conscious dangerous actions of the employees. It is worth noting that 67 % of minor injuries occurred with employees over the age of 56 years. The identified hazards are ranked according to two classifications: for reasons of hazards arising at the workplaces (work zones) during the performance of work, in case of an unexpected (emergency) situation; based on the nature of action and mechanism of action. The assessment of occupational risks was carried out using the matrix method and the Fine-Kinney method, as they are the easiest to use and widely used in domestic and foreign practice. The linear and quadratic interpolations usage for intermediate values of the likelihood of occurrence of a hazardous event and the exposure to a potentially dangerous situation in the classical Fine-Kinney method allows to determine more adequate levels of occupational risks in the workplaces and put emphasis on the hazards that are implemented due to the employee psycho-emotional characteristics (manifestation of a person character). For the workplaces where, as part of operational monitoring of the state of occupational safety, the prerequisites for the occurrence of a hazardous event were identified, it is proposed to use linear interpolation of the values of the probability of occurrence of a hazardous event and exposure to a hazardous event using the classical Fine-Kinney method; for the workplaces in which employees over the age of 56 years work at a certain period of time — quadratic interpolation. Aposteriori, i.e. determined through the conducted empirical study, increasing the levels of occupational risks when applying linear and quadratic interpolations in the classical Fine-Kinney method is a preventive measure aimed at fostering a conscious attitude towards compliance with the occupational safety requirements and improving the implementation of a risk-oriented approach.

Published: November 2023

This study explores the differences between the distribution of Golden Proportion and Recurring Esthetic Dental (RED) Proportion in natural maxillary anterior teeth. Photographs of the subject’s anterior teeth were taken from the frontal view. The width ratios of canine to lateral incisor and lateral incisor to central incisor were calculated. The existence of the Golden Proportion was considered when the width ratios between canine to lateral incisor or lateral incisor to central incisor were within the range of 0.55–0.66. To evaluate the existence of RED proportion in each subject, the width ratio of canine to lateral incisor was compared with the width ratio of lateral incisor to central incisor. The distribution of the Golden proportion was observed in 66.7% and the RED proportion was observed in 22.2% of the natural dentition of the study population. The existence of the Golden proportion was significantly higher than the existence of the RED proportion in well-aligned natural dentition in the study population (P < 0.05). Clinicians may choose the Golden proportion over the RED proportion during the maxillary anterior esthetic treatment procedure.
Adaptive Demand-Side Management Algorithm for Grid-Integrated PV-Wind-Battery-Hydrogen Systems Using Model Predictive Control
Authors: Elgammal Adel , Ramlal Tagore
Published: November 2023

Systems for producing green hydrogen will be essential in the move away from fossil fuels and towards technology that produces no carbon emissions. In order to undertake PV-Wind-H2 design for various hybrid configurations, this study provides a novel model for an off-grid hydrogen plant coupled with wind power, solar photovoltaic, and a battery energy storage system. This model makes use of meteorological information as well as component electrical variables. The objectives are to size and operate the systems properly in order to reach production targets while reducing H2 expenses. The direct connection of a PV-Wind-Electrolyser optimises component sizes and hydrogen generation, with the Electrolyser curves determined by the area and number of Electrolyser cells linked to photovoltaic modules. The coupling factor is increased when maximum power point (MPP) tracking is used. However, when compared to optimal PV-Wind-Electrolyser coupling, this gain is minimal. The advantage of battery-assisted electrolysis is that it minimises the size of the electrolyzer, illustrating how easy it is to run it at part loads. As a result, the photovoltaic-Wind and Electrolyzer are bigger to allow H2 generation, but the batteries work much better.

The purpose. Traumatic brain injury in children is a serious medical problem that requires special attention and research. As the child's body develops and grows, the anatomical and functional characteristics of children can affect the pathological consequences of traumatic brain injury. Given the growing number of children who are injured in sports events, accidents and other factors, understanding the characteristics of this category of injury can play an important role in improving their treatment and rehabilitation. Children respond to injury differently than adults and may exhibit different symptoms and require specialized medical care and approaches to treatment and rehabilitation. Understanding these age and anatomical and functional differences can help improve the diagnosis and treatment of brain injury in children and increase their chances of full recovery and normal development. Materials and methods. 154 charts of inpatients aged from 1 month to 17 years who were receiving inpatient treatment at the regional children's hospital during 2022 were analyzed. The basic methods of examination were radiographs, MRI of the brain.Research results. The most craniocerebral traumas were observed in children aged 7-17 years, which constituted 47.4%. Children aged 3-6 were often injured, accounting for almost 20%, older children (15-17 years old) were injured less often, accounting for 15%. Babies under one year old (9.7%) and children under 2 years old (8.4%) suffered the least amount of damage. The largest number of injured children (60.4%) was observed in the warm season when they are active outside without proper parental supervision.Conclusions. The largest number of brain injuries is characteristic of adolescence, against the background of changes in all body systems, the formation of new behavioral reactions for them, which were not characteristic of them before, and contribute to the increase in traumatism. Babies suffered the least damage, which is due to the anatomical features of the structure of the child's head.

Relevance of the research. Assessment of the psychosomatic state of patients after acute pancreatitis helps to understand the impact of the emotional state on the chronicity of the disease and can lead to improved treatment planning and rehabilitation of these patients.The aim of the study is to assess the psychosomatic state of patients after the primary episode of acute pancreatitis.Materials and methods. An examination of 80 patients undergoing inpatient treatment for acute pancreatitis was carried out. Psychological questionnaires were used to determine the peculiarities of the psychosomatic state in the examination. The WAM technique was used to assess the state of health, activity and mood. An appropriate clinical questionnaire was used to identify and evaluate the signs of neurotic conditions. The Holmes and Rahe method was used to determine the degree of resistance to stress.Results. According to the scale of "well-being", it was found that the average values of patients corresponded to the low level. The data showed a moderate level when analyzing the scores on the "activity" and "mood" scales. Due to the clinical questionnaire for the detection and assessment of neurotic states, it was determined that the presence of maladaptive states characterizes the psychosomatic state of patients with acute pancreatitis; regardless of gender, the average values among the groups correspond to the level of the disease state. Using the methodology for assessing stress resistance, it was found that patients after the disease identified a low level of stress resistance, without a significant difference between the sexes of the subjects.Conclusions. With the WAM method, indicators of low well-being, activity, and mood indicate a low level of psycho-emotional and physical well-being in patients who have suffered acute pancreatitis. The psychosomatic state of patients with acute pancreatitis is characterized by a low level of resistance to stress and the presence of such maladaptive conditions as anxiety and asthenia, regardless of gender.

Authors: Povidaichyk Mykhailo
Published: November 2023

The competitiveness of a teacher is an indicator of successful professional activity, the ability to be in demand due to a number of personal and professional qualities that determine a high level of expertise in the educational field. The effectiveness of forming the competitiveness of the future mathematics teacher will be higher under the condition of purposeful, systematic training in higher education, in particular, through the implementation of appropriate content and technological support. The purpose of the article is to characterize the content, forms, methods and technologies of the process of forming the competitiveness of future mathematics teachers. Research methods – analysis of scientific literature, systematization (to clarify the key concepts of research), implementation of research results in practice, observation, generalization (for the purpose of forming author's conclusions). It has been established that the formation of the competitiveness of future mathematics teachers occurs through the implementation of the system model of competitiveness formation in the process of scientific research activities and pedagogical conditions that ensure its effectiveness (using the potential of humanitarian disciplines in the process of forming the competitiveness of future mathematics teachers; organizing positive competition among students in the process of scientific research activities; motivational and stimulating support for the development of competitiveness of future mathematics teachers through the use of a set of pedagogical incentives; ensuring social partnership of subjects of educational activity in the process of developing the competitiveness of future mathematics teachers). The environment of scientific research activity contains three components: educational, practical-professional and research-innovative. The educational component provides for the formation of the competitiveness of future teachers during classroom training (through the use of a number of technologies, forms and methods - games, problems, cases, discussions, portfolios, the preparation of scientific papers, the performance of socio-pedagogical research) and extracurricular work (meetings with leading teachers, researchers, excursions). The practical-professional component involves the research orientation of student practices - propaedeutic and pedagogical. The research and innovation component enables the work of the students in scientific circles, student scientific society, conferences, competitions of scientific works, Olympiads, academic mobility, grants, and the implementation of socio-pedagogical research.

The article is devoted to a topical issue in teaching methods of German languages, namely substantiation of the stages and elaboration of the subsystem of exercises for building lexical competence in English professionally oriented oral communication of prospective ecologists. The aim of the article is to substantiate the stages and elaborate the subsystem of the exercises building lexical competence in English professionally oriented oral communication of prospective ecologists. An array of methods has been used in the research: an analysis of the investigations made by Ukrainian and foreign researches; generalization, systematization with an aim of finding out how the issue is being developed, defining the stages of building lexical competence in English professionally oriented oral communication of prospective ecologists; classification with an aim of elaborating the subsystem of exercises for building lexical competence in English professionally oriented oral communication of prospective ecologists. It has been proved that efficient organization of building lexical competence requires the substantiation of learning stages and elaboration of corresponding subsystem of exercise. The stages of building lexical competence in English professionally oriented oral communication of prospective ecologists include: introduction, automatization and production. During the introduction students get to know with the meanings of lexical units, terms, and its peculiarities of usage, do exercises in identification and semantization of lexical units, During automatization students do exercises acquiring forms and meanings of lexical units, the way collocations are made following typical speech samples. During production students develop abilities to produce lexical units, terms, clichés and skills to use thematic and terminology vocabulary in their speeches, The elaborated subsystem of exercises is presented by five groups of exercises: a group of exercises in vocabulary introduction, a group of exercises in vocabulary semantization, a group of exercises to furnish dialogical and monological unites with lexical units, a group of exercises to furnish dialogical and monological speeches of above phrase level with lexical units, a group of exercises to furnish dialogical and monological speeches of text level with lexical units, and a number of subgroups of exercises.
AN INDIVIDUAL OF CALLING, NOT OF TITLES: STAGES IN THE FORMATION OF I.YUSCHUK’S PEDAGOGICAL HERITAGE
Authors: Shkriba Sabina
Published: November 2023

The article aim ‒ to highlight the stages that illustrate I. Yushchuk’s pedagogical heritage. I. Yushchuk is an outstanding Ukrainian linguist, literary critic, teacher, translator of works by Serbian, Croatian, Lusatian and Slovenian writers, professor, author of more than thirty textbooks and thirty teaching aids on the Ukrainian language, author of the grammar-fantasy story «Three on the Moon» and stories for children «Somewhere in the Morning», Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine, one of the founders of Ukrainian «Prosvita» named after Taras Shevchenko, researcher of the Holodomor-genocide of 1932–1933, member of the National Union of Writers of Ukraine, laureate of the Borys Grinchenko All-Ukrainian Prize, Ivan Ohienko All-Ukrainian Prize, Dmytro Nytchenko award. Although I. Yuschchuk was a distinguished scholar, the impact that he had on education in Ukraine, his role in promoting the Ukrainian language requires further studies. The purpose of the article is to highlight the stages in I. Yushchuk’s career. Methods applied: bibliographic, biographical, phenomenological. Besides, the general theoretical methods help to analyze and synthesize, compare, systematize, describe, explain, and generalize the research material. Analyzing I. Yushchuk’s biography, the IV stages in his pedagogical heritage are distinguished. The Ist stage (1957–1959) is the period of I. Yushchuk’s pedagogical activity in the Ludyn secondary school. The IInd stage (1967–1969) reflected his activity as a linguist at the Soviet School publishing house. The IIId stage (1969–1996) is the longest period, so called high solstice in the teacher's activity. The Ivth stage (1996–2021) is the final and lasted 25 years. The end of this stage coincides in time with the teacher’s earthly life. It is concluded that these stages are not homogeneous in terms of time, each being extremely important forming a cornerstone for the subsequent stages.
Cuervos en el cielo, en Vetusta y en el alma. El espacio imposible de la maternidad en La Regenta
Authors: Vila Juan Diego
Published: November 2023

La presente propuesta de lectura apuesta a un descentramiento. La incursión crítica en una obra insoslayable de la Literatura Española Moderna y Contemporánea con protocolos exegéticos propios y bien frecuentes del Siglo de Oro español: las estrategias de simbolización y producción de sentidos ancladas en los incipientes discursos humanistas y barrocos sobre la animalidad. Atalaya de sentido que, en gran medida, nutre múltiples abordajes teóricos coetáneos sobre los significados de lo animal en la literatura y en las artes. La escena que orientará nuestras indagaciones podría considerarse marginal en múltiples aspectos: ocurre a tan sólo un capítulo de la conclusión del relato y sobreviene cuando el lector ya sabe de la caída de Ana Ozores. Mas nos resulta evidente que, cual cifra de un sinfín de coordenadas de la novela, lo que contemple y sueñe Víctor Quintanar en las postrimerías de su deshonra trasciende lo estrictamente anecdótico puesto que si bien puede admitirse que la visión de la “falange de cuervos” volando incide en la animalización de las personas y figuras que poblarán su último sueño, no debería pasarse por alto que su evasión de la realidad sobreviene precisamente cuando contempla la única viñeta maternal de toda la novela. Y ello se complejizará más cuando se advierta que la relevancia de estas aves trasciende, con creces, el fragmento espigado pues La Regenta, en múltiples dimensiones, alienta una meditación sobre la deshumanización de aquellas comunidades señoreadas por los cuervos al tiempo que, en paralelo, bosqueja el infausto y aciago destino de quienes fracasan en el imperativo filiatorio.
Clubes deportivos británicos en Buenos Aires
Authors: Rolla Florencia
Published: November 2023

En los suburbios de Buenos Aires los británicos establecieron clubes deportivos, que además actuaban como espacios de sociabilidad. A pesar de sus diferencias comunitarias, compartieron prácticas comunes en torno al aire libre, el paisaje suburbano y la actividad física plasmada en los deportes. La formación de esas instituciones fue el resultado de las representaciones de una comunidad heterogénea que encontró en esos lugares un refugio para desarrollar vínculos, tanto inter comunitarios como extra comunitarios. El soporte material de los clubes fue la arquitectura, novedosa por los programas que incorporaba y desarrollada en base a una serie de criterios constructivos y proyectuales originales. Muchas de sus primeras edificaciones fueron prefabricadas en madera, o con algún tipo de sistematización de su sistema constructivo, muy representativos de los británicos como comunidad, su cultura, sus intereses y sus empresas. Este artículo pretende indagar acerca de esa arquitectura como parte del circuito de intercambios relacionados con la comunidad británica asentada en Buenos Aires y su relación con las instituciones deportivas.

This research aims to analyze the role of the government and land acquisition constraints in the construction of the trans Sumatra toll road. This research uses a qualitative-explorative method to explore the research topic. Determination of the research topic is done by using biblioshiny application analysis. Then the data is collected from observation, documents from the website, and applicable literature. The data collected was then analyzed using Nvivo 12 Pro Software and Vensim PLE X64 Software to provide accurate and systematic visualization and description. The results of this study found that the trans Sumatra toll road construction project is a national development project. Then the cooperation relationship carried out by the government in the construction of the trans Sumatra toll road is regulated through policies that run in 2014–Present. The companies involved in accelerating the construction of the trans-Sumatra toll road are PT Hutama Karya and PT Waskita Sriwijaya Tol. Another finding in this study is that there are still toll road sections that have not operated and have been stopped due to customary land acquisition issues.
Forecasting China-Africa economic integration using Wavelet-ARIMA hybrid approach
Authors: Ngundu Marvellous , Matemane Reon
Published: November 2023

China-Africa economic integration generally looks lucid, as evidenced by rising bilateral trade, as well as Chinese FDI, aid, and debt financing for infrastructure development in Africa. The engagement, however, appears to be strategically channeled to benefit China’s resource endowment strategy. First, Chinese FDI in Africa is primarily resource-seeking, with minimum manufacturing value addition. Second, China has successfully replicated the Angola model in other resource-rich African countries, and most infrastructure loans-for-natural resources barter deals are said to be undervalued. There is also a resource-backed loan arrangement in place, in which default Chinese loans are repaid in natural resources. Third, while China claims that its financial aid is critical to Africa’s growth and development processes, a significant portion of the aid is spent on non-development projects such as building parliaments and government buildings. This lend credence to the notion that China uses aid to gain diplomatic recognition from African leaders, with resource-rich and/or institutionally unstable countries being the most targeted. The preceding arguments support why Africa’s exports to China dominate other China’s financial flows to Africa, and consist mainly of natural resources. Accordingly, this study aims to forecast China-Africa economic integration through the lens of China’s demand for natural resources and Africa’s demand for capital, both of which are reflected in Africa’s exports to China. The study used a MODWT-ARIMA hybrid forecasting technique to account for the short period of available China-Africa bilateral trade dataset (1992–2021), and found that Africa’s exports to China are likely to decline from US$ 119.20 billion in 2022 to US$ 13.68 billion in 2026 on average. This finding coincides with a period in which Chinese demand for Africa’s natural resources is expected to decline.

The primary goal of this paper is to assess the thermal behaviour of Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) under continuous operation mode during the cooling period in warm climatic conditions. An experimental setup was conducted in Biskra University (Algeria) to test the ability to use EAHE as an alternative solution to conventional air conditioning systems. Besides, a transient numerical approach for the flowing air within the EAHE was developed using energy balance equations, discretised by the implicit finite differences method and solved by Thomas method. Furthermore, the transient temperature profile of the soil around the EAHE was investigated in order to determine the adiabatic radius of the soil as a function of the duration of operation. In this context, a transient semi-analytical model was integrated to the air model to estimate the transient EAHE’s performance deterioration. This deterioration is produced by the thermal saturation of the soil, which is influenced by the heat released from the air inside the pipe. Results showed that continuous operation for a duration of four days has minimal impact on the outlet air temperatures due to the implementation of night purging. Furthermore, the design and thermal efficiency of the EAHE are impacted by factors such as higher air velocity and reduced soil thermal conductivity.
Evaluating the Development Path of Manufacturing Industry Under Carbon Neutralisation
Authors: LI Ran
Published: November 2023

China’s manufacturing industry faces the dual imperatives of supporting economic growth while reducing emissions to achieve national carbon neutrality targets. This study analyses the potential for decarbonisation across manufacturing sub-sectors. Using factor analysis and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, it assesses industries based on foundational advantages, growth prospects, and sustainability. The results rank sub-sectors and identify promising areas like eco-friendly equipment and agricultural processing. However, carbon-intensive industries require urgent transformation. To optimise China’s industrial structure for low-carbon development, coordinated efforts across policy, industry, and enterprise are needed. Supportive regulations, industrial integration, and technology adoption can incentivise green manufacturing. By strategically promoting circular economy models, China can enhance quality and efficiency, convert waste into value, and contribute to global climate action. This study provides insights into aligning manufacturing growth with carbon neutrality in the new economic era.

This research investigates the impact of oil price fluctuations on food prices in Saudi Arabia between 1979 and 2020 using Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lags (NARDL) methodology. The study employs Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and Phillips Perron (PP) tests to determine the integration order of the variables and Bounds testing to confirm the existence of long run cointegration relationships between each variable. The results indicate that oil shocks influence food prices through several mechanisms. Firstly, the cost of energy increases due to the rise in oil prices, affecting the agricultural commodity market, including farm equipment, food processing, packaging, and distribution costs. Secondly, the demand for agricultural commodities to produce biofuels affects food availability and thus food prices. Thirdly, as an oil-based economy, the oil price shock affects food prices through its impact on government spending, which affects aggregate demand and liquidity. Therefore, Saudi Arabia should adopt appropriate policies to mitigate the impact of oil price shocks on food prices, including investing in renewable energy sources, diversifying its economy, and improving food production and supply chain efficiency. Additionally, implementing appropriate fiscal policies to ensure sufficient budget allocation for food support programs is crucial. However, Investing in groundwater exploration can contribute significantly to the development of Saudi agriculture and to gradually achieving food self-sufficiency.

Authors: Lazo Macrina , Ebardo Ryan
Published: November 2023

AI adoption in the banking industry is a necessity not only to gain a competitive advantage within the industry but more importantly to defend the bank versus technological disruptors that are trying to gain ground in service areas that were previously dominated by banks. This study aims to analyze the current state of AI adoption in the banking industry through a systematic review of related literature. Using the SCOPUS database, thirty-five studies were identified that are relevant to this study.  While the number of studies is on increasing trend, the focus of existing literature is predominantly on the customers' and the banks' perspectives. Studies from the regulators' and service providers' perspectives are still sparse despite the importance of these two actors in the adoption of AI in the banking industry.  The application of AI has permeated wide areas of the banking function expanding beyond the use of chatbots. Improving customer experience, increasing profitability, and improving competitiveness drive the adoption of AI by banks while people-related issues, technology-related issues, and regulatory-compliance issues deter banks from fully embracing AI. Transparency of algorithms, data privacy, data protection, and fair use of data are the main concerns both of regulators and customers.   Results of this study point to the need for more empirical and theoretical research on the regulatory perspective of AI adoption in the banking industry, how to harness the strength of service providers to enable wider and more effective adoption of AI,  how institutions can help increase the talent pool for AI-driven technologies, and how to strengthen the synergistic cooperation of the various actors in the adoption of AI in the banking industry.
