How Financial Development Affects Economic Growth: Evidence from some SAARC Countries
Authors: K. Abu , I.U. Monzurul
Published: April 2021

According to Joseph Schumpeter (1911), services provided by financial intermediaries are essential for technical innovation and economic growth. Later, empirical work by Goldsmith (1969) and McKinnon (1973) supported that there were close ties between financial and economic development for a few countries. But numerous other economists, including Robinson (1952) believed that finance was not so important for economic growth; financial development simply follows economic growth. Despite this debate, Levine (1993), among others suggests a positive relationship between financial sector development and economic growth. Moreover, there remains further debate whether the country's financial structure exerts differential impact on economic growth. Empirical studies across the countries (Rajan and Zingales, 1999) suggest that banking sector plays a key role in some countries. In this paper, I intend to investigate whether higher levels of financial development are positively correlated with economic growth using empirical evidence from five South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. I have used Panel data analysis, Linear regression model, Levin-Lin-Chu unit root test, Covariance, Correlation and VIF test based on aggregate annual data from 1993 to 2016. My analysis suggests that development in banking sector has a moderately strong tie to promoting economic growth. The result implies that the policy should focus on banking sector development by enhancing its quality of credit products and offers to private sector as it is the main stimulator for growth in these five South Asian countries.

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between carriage of 677C>T polymorphism in the gene of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and plaque psoriasis in patients in Bulgaria. We examined the prevalence of MTHFR C677T genotype in patients with psoriasis, as well as the relationship of the polymorphism with disease severity. Our study covered63 patients with psoriasis and 98psoriasis-free control subjects from northern Bulgaria. MTHFR677C>T genotype was verified by the PCR-RFLP method. There was no significant difference between carriage of TT genotype among the patients and controls: 12.7% versus 10.8 %in controls, OR 1.203, (CI 95% 0465-3.175), p>0.05 respectively. There was a higher PASI score in patients, carriers of TT genotype of MTHFR polymorphism 677C>T than in non-carriers, 28.18versus 24.87 respectively, but not significant. Conclusion: Carriage of TT genotype of MTHFR polymorphism 677C>T was not associated with Psoriasis Vulgaris in the northern Bulgarian population when compared to healthy controls.
Struggles With Sex and Gender. Perspectives of First Year Medical Students: A Focus Group Study
Authors: Teunissen Theodora , Scholte Joni , Meulen Fransica Van der , Lagro-Janssen Antoinette , Fluit Cornelia
Published: April 2021

Sex and gender are important determinants of healthcare that need to be taken into account for medical teaching. Education is more effective if tailored to students’ subjectively-perceived needs and connected to their prior knowledge and opinions. This study explored first-year medical students thoughts about sex and gender differences in general and in specifically in healthcare, and what their educational preferences are in learning about these concepts during their medical training. Therefore six focus groups were conducted with 26 first-year medical students, 7 male and 19 female students, within one Dutch medical faculty. The discussions were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. After that a thematic analysis was performed which included descriptive coding, interpretative coding, and definition of overarching themes.  Three major themes were identified. (1) Students’ self-perception of concepts sex and gender, including three major domains: (a) The unavoidable allocation of individuals to groups, (b) The role of stereotypes, and (c) The effect of sex/gender on career choice options. (2) Students’ goal orientedness in learning about sex/gender. (3) Students’ struggles between the binary system of medicine and the complexity of reality. Continuous reflection during medical school might help medical students to acquire sex- and gender-sensitive competencies that can be applied in their future work. To increase awareness about the influence of sex and gender differences in healthcare and on career choices, we recommend addressing these themes explicitly early on in the medical curriculum.

Zielona herbata a otyłość – wpływ katechin na metabolizm energetyczny
Authors: Gogga Patrycja , Szałajda Monika , Janczy Agata
Published: April 2021

Streszczenie

Otyłość jest chorobą metaboliczną, która obecnie zyskała rangę epidemii, stanowiąc jeden z najważniejszych problemów zdrowotnych, społecznych i ekonomicznych na świecie. Nieleczonej otyłości towarzyszy pogorszenie jakości życia oraz występowanie chorób towarzyszących, takich jak cukrzyca czy schorzenia układu sercowo-naczyniowego. W związku z tym poszukuje się nowych metod mających zastosowanie zarówno w profilaktyce otyłości, jak i w obniżaniu nadmiernej masy ciała. Zawarte w zielonej herbacie związki katechinowe, szczególnie galusan epigallokatechiny (EGCG), są jednymi z najintensywniej badanych substancji biologicznie czynnych. Przypisuje się im właściwości przeciwutleniające, przeciwzapalne, przeciwnowotworowe, a także wspomagające regulację masy ciała oraz zawartości tkanki tłuszczowej w organizmie. Liczne badania z udziałem ludzi wykazują, że regularne picie zielonej herbaty jest związane z mniejszą masą ciała, niższym BMI oraz z mniejszym obwodem pasa. Wyniki doświadczeń in vitro oraz na zwierzętach potwierdzają korzystny wpływ katechin na metabolizm energetyczny. Związki te obniżają wchłanianie lipidów i węglowodanów w przewodzie pokarmowym. Wpływają również na metabolizm tych związków, obniżając intensywność lipogenezy i adipogenezy, jednocześnie pobudzając lipolizę i utlenianie kwasów tłuszczowych, a także zwiększając wydatek energetyczny. Udowodniono, że katechiny mają wpływ na wychwyt glukozy przez komórki docelowe pobierające ten cukier poprzez insulinozależny transporter – GLUT4. W artykule omówiono literaturę przedmiotu oraz usystematyzowano zagadnienia związane z rolą katechin obecnych w zielonej herbacie w profilaktyce i wspomaganiu leczenia otyłości.
Geography of inbound tourism and transboundary tourism-and-recreation region-building in Sweden
Authors: Manakov Andrei G. , Krasilnikova Irina N. , Ivanov Ivan A.
Published: April 2021

Sweden’s tourism industry stands out for its large contribution to the development of the national economy. The vast size of the country makes it possible to trace differences in incoming tourist flows from neighbouring countries. This circumstance accounts for the novelty of this study, which lies in viewing national tourism geography from the perspective of the theory of transboundary tourism-and-recreation region building. Interregional differences in the structure of incoming tourist flows help identify the country’s cross-border tourism-and-recreation regions and delineate their borders. This research employs statistical and cartographic methods. The incoming tourist flow to Sweden grew steadily until 2020. However, the Covid-19 crisis has led to a drastic reduction in the number of incoming tourists. Based on the 2019 statistics, the findings confirm the existence of a developed transboundary tourism-and-recreation mesoregion that brings together Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. The formation boasts strong tourist links. There are another five cross-border tourism-and-recreation mesoregions: Sweden-Norway-Denmark, Middle Sweden-Norway, Sweden-Norway-Finland, Middle Sweden-Finland, and South Sweden-Finland. The number of tourists visiting cross-border mesoregions indicates the degree of development of the latter.
Predictors of sexual dysfunction in HIV-infected women

Published: April 2021

Sexual dysfunction is more common among the people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection than in those without it. The sexual dysfunction in HIV-infected people is associated with adverse outcomes such as reduced quality of life, unprotected sexual activities, and reduced adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate a potential predictor role of some variables such as socioeconomic status, hormonal and HIV disease profile, type of treatment, depression, anxiety, stress, domestic violence, and status of partner infection for sexual function in people with HIV infection. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 40 HIV-infected women with medical records in behavioral disease counseling centers of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The required data were collected using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Depression‚ Anxiety‚ Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Domestic Violence Questionnaire. To examine the CD4 cell levels and hormonal profiles, 5cc blood was taken from the patients simultaneously on days 3 - 5 of their menstrual cycles. The data were analyzed using the SPSS18 software. The mean age of the participants was 38.2 ± 5.2 years, and the frequency of sexual dysfunction was 100%. There was a statistically significant difference in the levels of the elevated variables such as estradiol, stress, anxiety, and depression. The multivariate analysis showed that only the increased estradiol level (P = 0.005, B = 0.06) was a predictor factor of sexual dysfunction. All the HIV-infected women had sexual dysfunction. The results of this study showed that in those women the increased levels of estradiol could be a predictor of sexual dysfunction.
The vulnerable financial issue: Capital flight in Indonesia
Authors: Basorudin Muhammad , Dwi Harwin , Sri Hartini , Amannullah Gantjang , Rachmadani Hamid
Published: April 2021

Indonesia is a developing country with a high demand for capital from both domestic and international sources. However, international capital flows are needed the most. For non-Western countries, especially Indonesia, capital flight is an unfavourable financial problem. This research aims to summarise capital flight from Indonesia and analyse the impact of macroeconomic and non-macroeconomic determinants through capital flight. Macroeconomic determinants include budget deficits, economic growth, inflation rates, and exchange rates. Nonmacroeconomic determinants are the degree of trade openness, interest rate differences, and dummy ratings. The data comes from the Bank of Indonesia, OECD, Moody's, and BPS-Statistics Indonesia. The coverage of this research is the Indonesian quarter from 2010 to 2018. This period complies with the latest procedures of the sixth edition of the Balance of Payments Manual (BPM 6). In this research, the measurement of the capital flight is the World Bank's residual method, trade misinvoicing method, and combined method. This research finds that, compared with other economics, non-macroeconomics is the most influential determinant of capital flight from Indonesia.
Natural resources and regional development: Case study of the Gornje Polimlje region in Montenegro
Authors: Raičević Đoko , Marjanović Miloš , Đorđević Vladimir
Published: April 2021

The Gornje Polimlje has all characteristics of the geographical region, which some of the areas, or just part of them, left many author's works of impassable value. The northeastern part of Montenegro possesses, in qualitative and quantitative aspects, an enormous wealth of natural values. It was unexpectedly and unacceptably economically neglected in the last fifty years in Montenegro's development. The paper aims to present the natural resources of the Gornje Polimlje region and the way of their valorization in the function of equal development of this region. Tourism is seen as an activity that would produce great economic results with the least negative impact on nature. The conclusion is that natural resources are either underutilized or utilized in the wrong way. Further development should be based on the exploitation of natural resources, first of all on the development of sustainable tourism and the use of renewable energy sources.
Travel journals in Islam and their contribution to the development of social thought
Authors: Halilović Muamer
Published: April 2021

Travel journals are primarily a literary genre in which the writer expresses his impressions about the geographical and other characteristics of the region through which he travels, along with demographic, cultural, religious, cognitive and ethical characteristics of the people he encounters during his travels. This literary genre has an extraordinary potential to reveal the cognitive frameworks of the collective thought of a nation that is directly or indirectly manifested through various folk customs and traditions. Travel journals are beneficial in two ways when it comes to social thought. First, an author who visits new regions and meets a people that he has not had the opportunity to talk to before, informs his readers about the customs, beliefs, fears and hopes of that people. Demographic descriptions and analyses of all interesting, and sometimes strange, events that he witnessed, are a testimony to his modern readers about the existence of different views of the world, not so far away from them. Moreover, it will provide later readers with authentic information about how people once thought and how a community functioned. Secondly, an author who writes about his impressions after encountering a new tradition inadvertently makes his own judgment about it. In that way, he implicitly and indirectly points to the collective consciousness that he brings through his subjective judgments from the region which he belongs to, from his homeland. This aspect is most noticeable with later readers, because they can observe from a certain distance both the people to whom the author belongs to and the people about whom the author reports. If the author is affected by a certain phenomenon, it means that the collective consciousness of his people would not approve of such an action, and if he supported a tradition, it meant that his people would also agree with it. In this paper, we will try to offer a brief insight into the history of travel journals in Islam, and to present sociological potentials of some of the main travel journals prepared by Muslim authors during their arduous and difficult journeys.
Origin, establishment and development of the idea of self-determination of peoples
Authors: Kagramanov Azer Kagraman Ogly
Published: April 2021

The subject of this research is the examination of evolution of the idea of self-determination of peoples based on the fundamental works of the Russian and foreign scholars, thinkers of the antiquity and modernity. The author considers the transformations experienced by the principle of self-determination at various historical stages of development; as well as builds a corresponding systems of the development cycles. The conclusion is made that after conception of the idea of self-determination, the colonial powers viewed this concept as ethical, seeing the threat to legitimacy of the established order. Therefore, throughout almost a century, the leading countries refused to include this right into the corresponding international and domestic documents. The main conclusions are as follows: after consolidation of the principle in the Charter of the United Nations, it became the foundation for the emergence of news states and destruction of the colonial world; the principle served as a leitmotif for the development of human rights and international relations, but at the same time became a threat and challenge to the territorial integrity; wars between the countries are replaced with the civil and interethnic conflicts; the world is captured with such phenomena as state nationalism that subsequently grew into extremely radical forms, such as fascism and Nazism; the modern international law actively promotes the two competing principles – territorial integrity and self-determination; in modern world, the right to self-determination is not limited by peoples under the colonial past – there occur new forms of self-determination that threaten the existence of sovereign states. Uncertainty of the status of the newly emerged states formations serves as the source of domestic and international tension, which inevitably leads to intergovernmental clashes and negatively impacts geopolitical situation in separate regions and in the world as a whole.

The authors give particular attention to the historical and theoretical principles of studying the concept of leadership in international relations, namely: provide various approaches towards determination of the status of a regional power, criteria for regional leadership, and specificities of interaction between the regional and global powers. Emphasis is placed on examination of the aforementioned phenomena and processes in the context of comprehensive impact of such global trends, as globalization and glocalization, decentralization of the system of international relations, and formation of the multipolar world order. The novelty of this work lies in the comparative analysis of regional peculiarities of the struggle for leadership in the European and Middle Eastern regions. The relevance of selecting Europe and Middle East is defined by their fundamentally different nature of the regional international relations. The authors reveal the common features and regional specificity of the struggle for leadership in these regions. The common features include: the significance of non-state actors (of different types), ethnic and cultural diversity, complexity of delineation of political boundaries. The regional specificities include: different tools, nature and goals of the struggle for leadership, unequal presence of global powers in the regions, etc. The conclusion is drawn on the need for further examination of the matter to improve the international political forecasting.
System as a complex category of reflection of national security in theoretical-legal research
Authors: Putintsev Andrey Vladimirovich
Published: April 2021

The subject of this article is the methodology of reconstruction of national security as a complex social and political-legal phenomenon in modern scientific knowledge. Special attention is given to the provisions of the theory of state and law, political science, as well as official documents – the acts of strategic planning that are of theoretical and applied significance due to the presence of formal definitions in their texts. The article employs formal-legal and doctrinal analysis of scientific sources. Methodological framework is comprised of the category of “system” and systemic approach in various interpretations. Logical analysis is conducted on different variants of definitions of the category “national security system” and “system of ensuring national security”. It is revealed that systemic analysis, which historically is one of the most popular approaches that can reflect the multidimensional objects of research, has long been included into the scientific tradition of studying national security. The author explores several variants of systemic approach: the theory of national security as a system; national security as a system property; and national security as a system. The analysis of interpretation of national security as a system determines the two main categories: national security system and system of ensuring national security. The first category features mostly scientific interpretations, while the second category has received a legal definition, having transformed from the scientific category into an element of the object (social reality), and simultaneously, means of its construction. The author indicates the existence of methodological pluralism in determining the components of national security systems. The article examines successful and unsuccessful examples of application of systemic approach in studying national security, and identifies typical methodological errors. The author concludes on the limited heuristic possibilities of systemic approach in reflecting the dynamics of ensuring national security, as well as underlines the need to use the categories of “mechanism”, “regime"”, or “process”.
