SIGNIFICANCE OF EAEU COURT DECISIONS IN FORMATION SUPRANATIONAL LEGISLATION
Authors: Изгагина Т.Ю.
Published: December 2021

Суд ЕАЭС является пoстoяннo действующим наднациональным судебным oрганoм и рассматривает спoры по вoпрoсам реализации Дoгoвoра об ЕАЭС, международных договоров в рамках Союза и (или) решений органов Союза. Анализ законодательств стран ЕАЭС показал, что на уровне национальных законодательств страны наделили правом на обращение в данный суд. Кроме того, правоприменительная практика таможенного законодательства в государствах-участницах ЕАЭС в связи с вынесением судом ЕАЭС разъяснений, решений складывается неединообразно. В настоящее время остро стоит вопрос о необходимости выработки механизмов исполнения решений суда ЕАЭС на территориях стран ЕАЭС.

The court of the EEU is a supranational permanent judicial body and considers disputes arising on the implementation of the Agreement, international agreements within the Union and (or) decisions of the Union’s bodies. An analysis of the legislation of the EEU countries showed that at the level of national legislation, countries have given the right to appeal to the Supreme court. In addition, the law enforcement practice of customs legislation in the EEU member States in connection with the issuance of explanations and decisions by the EEU court is not uniform. Currently, there is an urgent question of the need to develop mechanisms for the enforcement of decisions of the EEU court on the territories of the EEU countries.
Turkey’s Representation in the News Covering the Cyprus Problem: An Analysis of the British Press (2000)
Authors: ERİŞEN Hanife , TÜRKSOY Nilüfer
Published: December 2021

This study aims to explore the representation of Turkey in the British news texts covering the Cyprus problem in the 2000s. The article goes on to question how the British broadsheet press represents Turkey, as one of the role-playing states in the fate of Cyprus. Using Said’s Orientalism and Young’s White Mythology as a theoretical basis for evaluation, a qualitative content analysis was utilized upon 45 news texts. Findings established that the othering of Turks was alive during this period. The British press portrayed Turkish people involved in the Cyprus problem as ‘dark-skinned Turks’, ‘from underdeveloped eastern Anatolia’ that ‘wear Islamic dress and have large families’ and are ‘settlers’ invaders or occupiers on the Cyprus island. Comparatively, the other role-players in the Cyprus problem (Greece, Greek Cypriots, and Turkish Cypriots) were less frequently Orientalized and not in the traditional sense, as presented by Said, their level of being orientalized relating to their relations with the British.

Objective: To evaluate the causes of high admission rate of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in adults with diabetes mellitus presenting to a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia with specific emphasis on the clinical and biochemical phenotype and identify components of intervention and improve clinical outcomes in these patients. Study Design: Observational study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Diabetes & Endocrinology, Armed Forces Hospital Al-Hada, Taif, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from 1st August 2015 to 31st January 2020. Methodology: One hundred and fifteen patients with diabetes mellitus presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis during the last 5 years were enrolled. Approximately 50 different variables pertaining to the patients at the time of presentation were thoroughly scrutinized. Results: There were 31 (28%) males and 81 (72 %) were females with type 1 DM 92%, type 2 DM 7% and 1% unclassified DM with a mean age of 20.90±7.4 years. 18% were diagnosed to have DM for the first time and others had a mean duration of DM of 8.0±3.6 years with an average daily insulin requirement being 64.0±20.2 units. Moreover 84% of patients were on basal bolus regimen and only 5% were on mixed insulin. 73% of the DKA episodes occurred in 15-25 years of age group. The commonest precipitating factors were non-compliance with insulin (44%) and respiratory tract infections (17%). Most common presenting symptoms were vomiting and abdominal pain present in 81% and 53% of patients. The mean blood sugar on presentation was 463±157.3 mg/dl whereas the mean HbA1c was 14±2.9. The mean pH and bicarbonate levels on presentation were 7.16±0.128 and 7±4.83 meq/L respectively. 80% of the patients were admitted to the general wards however 19% required ICU care. 69% of patients had a history of readmission with DKA and 29% were transferred from another periphery hospital. The mean duration of stay in the hospital was 2±3.8 days and the mortality was 0.9%. Conclusion: A very low mortality rate is witness to excellent acute management of these very sick patients. However a very high non-compliance rate of 44%, combined with a readmission rate of 69% and a mean HbA1c of 14% are very alarming as far as long term prognosis is concerned.

The increasing growth of e-commerce in Indonesia makes research on online marketplaces an interesting topic to research. Several factors, such as buyer reviews and ratings, the ease of buying and selling transactions, shipping costs (postage), the reputation of the e-commerce platform, and also the reputation of the store itself (seller) are considered by buyers in choosing an online store. The more platforms there are, the more intense the competition between online marketplaces will be. With that, many start-up companies B2B (Business to Business), or B2C (Business to Customer), C2B (Customer to Business), C2C (Customer to Customer), which stated that many of their products were sold with fantastic sales figures. But there are also some products that need to be developed for sales due to the lack of product advertisements being broadcast and launched on a large scale because these products are considered good for future prospects and profitable for the company.

Facing Post-Communist Religiosity: Questioning And Shifting Religious Identity Among Yezidi Women From Armenia and Georgia
Authors:   Ivane Javakhisvhili Tbilisi State University, Komakhidze Boris , Fatemi Sayedehnasim ,   Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts
Published: December 2021

This paper aims to understand the post-Communist religious transformations that determine the process of questioning and shifting religious identity among Yezidi women from Armenia and Georgia. We discuss gender and religiosity in relation to the internal and external social and political context as influenced by Soviet atheism. The status of women among Yezidis is constructed by traditional religious norms and societal structures, which are influenced by the ideological politics (Communism, post-Communism) of the state of residence. Our findings show that Yezidis, like other religious communities in post-Soviet Armenia and Georgia, are actively involved in the institutionalization of religious norms. The institutionalization of religion within transitive society seems to have the potential to lead to a decline in trust, resulting in the establishment of new institutions, the separation of personal attribution and religious normative practices, and serves as a catalyst for questioning and changing religious identity. In particular, the article aims to understand how post-Communist religious transformations have re/shaped the identity of Yezidi women from Georgia and Armenia, as well as how the internal and external social contexts impact this course of action. We argue that changing political ideologies (Communism, which granted rights to Yezidi women), the pluralization of religiosity, and the systematization of religious norms pushed Yezidi women to question their religious identity, which was permitted after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and circulates the social norms (caste system, religious restrictions, the status of women) of Yezidism.

The adverse effects of weather extremes produce widespread damage and cause severe alterations in the normal functioning of household agricultural production in Zambia. Extreme weather events such as floods and drought are expected to increase in intensity and frequency due to climate change. Coupled with high poverty levels and limited institutional capacity, the country is highly vulnerable to the impact of extreme events. We quantify the effects of economic diversification on agricultural productivity of poor farm households with a skew-normal regression approach while accounting for drought and flood shocks. Our analysis finds that economic diversification is a strategy to increase agricultural productivity and mitigate the adverse impact of droughts and floods on agricultural households. The results also support the country's policies to encourage hybrid maize production and to provide crop seeds and fertiliser to poor farmers. This paper provides a framework to plan and inform interventions to enhance household economic resilience to weather shocks through agricultural diversification in Zambia and other countries.

African agriculture in the context of COVID-19: Finding salvation in the devil
Authors:   President, African Association of Agricultural Economics – AAAE, and Lead Economist, African Development Bank., Nkamleu Guy
Published: December 2021

The world is facing unprecedented challenges from COVID-19, which is disrupting lives and livelihoods. The pandemic could profoundly affect the African continent and wipe out hard-won development gains, as sub-Saharan Africa heads into its first recession in 25 years. Beyond the multispatial impact of the coronavirus in Africa, its effects on the agriculture and food system is of particular interest, as food security could be the most affected area and, at the same time, agriculture could be the sector that could help African economies recover quicker from the impact of COVID19. This paper supports the view that COVID-19, as devilish as it may be, offers an opportunity to revive interest in the agricultural sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed immense pressures on African countries to raise additional resources, and consequently Africa’s growing public debt is again coming back to the centre stage of the global debate. The conversation on African debt sustainability has begun to dominate the scene and will flood the debate in the near term. While the observed, growing calls for debt relief for African countries are legitimate, we support in this paper that one should not divert attention from the long-term solutions needed to strengthen Africa’s resilience. These long-term solutions lie where they always have: in agriculture. With COVID-19, shipping agricultural inputs and food products from other continents to Africa has become disrupted and is accelerating the trend towards shortening supply chains. This will leave a potential market for inputs and food produced on the continent. COVID-19, together with the launching of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), have aligned the stars in favour of a decisive transformation of the agriculture sector on the continent. Agriculturalists and development experts need to be aware of their responsibility at this time, as they need to advocate for the topic of agricultural development to return to the centre and the heart of the agenda of discussions on how to respond to the consequences of Covid-19 in Africa. In this sense, and unexpectedly, COVID-19 is an opportunity for the agricultural sector
Impacts de la présence des intermédiaires sur l’intégration spatiale des marchés agricoles au Cameroun : une analyse par l’approche ARDL
Authors:   Faculté des Sciences Economiques et Gestion Appliquée, Département d’Economie Publique à l’Université de Douala, BP : 4032 Douala., Minkande Julien
Published: December 2021

L’intégration des marchés est un élément clé pour comprendre la transmission des prix entre les marchés et maîtriser les équilibres (les efficiences). Cependant, certains facteurs peuvent entraver l’atteinte de cette efficience. C’est ainsi que cet article a pour objectif d’évaluer l’influence des intermédiaires sur l’intégration spatiale des marchés de manioc au Cameroun. Un modèle autorégressif à retards échelonnés (ARDL) y est utilisé pour analyser l’existence des relations de long terme et de court terme entre les marchés. Cette étude aboutit à la conclusion d’une cointégration entre les variables, et fournit la preuve que les marchés sont intégrés. Les résultats empiriques révèlent qu’à long terme, la présence des intermédiaires réduit les prix offerts sur les marchés de Yaoundé ; et à court terme, 95% des déviations du prix sont corrigées dans un délai d’un an et neuf mois. Cette étude préconise donc une normalisation et un encadrement de la fonction d’intermédiaire, afin d’éviter le système des monopoles de marché
Prospects for sustainable intensification of soybean production in sub-Saharan Africa
Authors:   Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, USA., Debnath Deepayan
Published: December 2021

There is a significant soybean yield gap in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. Sustainable intensification of the agricultural sector to reduce such a yield gap is important. Increasing soybean productivity can meet the growing demand for food and feed when complemented with higher soy meal demand by the local livestock industry. This study performs an ex-ante economic analysis to determine the effect of higher soybean production on trade and land use within SSA countries. We find that increasing soybean yield by 50% can increase the total returns from soybean production by 186 million LC (local currency) in Ethiopia and 36 billion LC in Nigeria. We show that soybean yield growth alone is enough to boost soy oil production, as the crushing of the beans produces 18% oil and 79% meal. While increasing productivity may lead to freeing land to produce high-valued cash crops, investors will be reluctant to invest in the crushing facilities in the absence of soy meal demand by the livestock industry. Therefore, policymakers need to establish collaboration between development organisations, private companies, farmers and researchers to achieve this transformation and thereby raise agricultural productivity.

This paper evaluates output supply and input factor demands for livestock products in the Southern rangelands of Kenya. A flexible translog profit function that permits the application of the primal approach to the output supply and factor demand analysis was estimated using household-level data. The results indicate that the own-price elasticities of supply for cattle, sheep and goats were all positive. The own-price elasticities for the supply of sheep and goat products were elastic, while the own-price elasticities for the supply of cattle products wasinelastic. Cross-price and scale elasticities were found to be within the inelastic range in all cases, with goat production complementing both cattle and sheep production. All factor input demand elasticities for cattle, sheep and goats had the expected negative sign and were inelastic. These results offer a valuable opportunity for the development of pro-pastoral price policies that reduce factor market imperfections and thus enhance livestock productivity in the rangelands of Kenya.

Authors: Shahabudin Sharifah Muhairah , Abdallah Mohammed Najla , Singaravelloo Kuppusamy
Published: December 2021

Children living on the streets are a common sight in Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan, and other parts of the country. These children have been exposed to many types of pressure which influence behavior outcomes. This study aims to investigate the street children’s socioeconomic profiles and examine the social-psychological influence of parents, peers and the public on the children’s behavior. A systematic sampling technique was used to select 12 markets in Khartoum state. 350 street children from the 12 markets volunteered for the face-to-face interview administered questionnaire. The study found that parents stressors and peers stressors significantly influence the children to perform maladaptive behavior. However, the public did not have any significant effect on children’s maladaptive behavior. The study suggests intervention programs should be applied to stop children from ending up on the streets by providing families with a basic income to guarantee children's welfare, security and sense of family life. To stop children from going back to the streets, a free education policy, fee waivers and free meals for poor children are recommended.

The initial development of pitayas may be limited by a few factors, among them, water deficit. Agricultural hydrogels can be used as an alternative to enhance the retention and availability of water and nutrients in the soil. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of irrigation frequency and hydrogel doses on the development of white pitaya (Hylocereus undatus) seedlings to establish a time interval in days between irrigations that provides better seedling development and determine the hydrogel dose that provides a reduction of water consumption without damaging seedling development. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks in a 4 x 4 factorial arrangement, in which the treatments corresponded to 4 hydrogel doses (0, 2, 4, and 6 g/plant of Biogel Hidro Plus) incorporated into the substrate and four irrigation frequencies (1, 3, 5, and 7 days of interval). The biometric characteristics, photosynthetic pigments, and organic and inorganic solutes of the plants were evaluated after 120 days. The use of daily irrigation negatively influenced the growth and biomass accumulation of the aerial part of the seedlings and, consequently, provided the lowest values of cladodes of the pitaya seedlings. Pitaya seedlings had greater development when using an irrigation frequency of around 3 days. The application of 6 g/plant of hydrogel provided the highest averages for accumulation of dry biomass, photosynthetic pigments, and organic and inorganic solutes at irrigation levels of 3.6, 4, and about 3.8 days of intervals, respectively. Hydrogel incorporation allowed increasing the interval between irrigations by 1 day without damages to the seedling development.

Seed quality is routinely assessed by direct tests, e.g, the germination test, or indirect tests like the tetrazolium test, which has shoown to be promising in the determine viability and vigor, allowing the diagnosis of the main problems that may affect seed quality, such as mechanic damages, field deterioration and storage. In this respect, this study was conducted to develop a tetrazolium test protocol to evaluate the viability and vigor of Tamarindus indica L. seeds. Before exposing the seeds to the tetrazolium solution, seed preconditioning studies were carried out in which seven soaking times were tested. The soaking time that did not cause damage to the seed embryo and allowed the removal of the seed coat to expose the seed structures to the tetrazolium salt was selected. Then, an experiment was set up in a completely randomized design with a 2x3x3 factorial arrangement involving two seed lots, three soaking times in tetrazolium salt (6, 12 and 16 h) and three salt concentrations (0.075, 0.1 and 0.5%), totaling 18 treatments with four replicates of 25 seeds, evaluated at 40 ºC. For each treatment, the seeds were divided into three classes, namely, viable and vigorous embryos (class 1); viable embryos (class 2) and non-viable or dead embryos (class 3). For a comparison with the tetrazolium test results, the two seed lots were analyzed for water content, germination, emergence, first count, germination speed index, emergence speed index, growth and seedling dry weight. The viability and vigor of T. indica seeds can be evaluated after a soaking period of 48 h and immersion for 6h in tetrazolium salt at the concentration of 0.1%, at 40°C, with provides results similar to conventional seed viability tests. The tetrazolium test proved to be adequate to differentiate T. indica seed lots in terms of viability.
Optimizing Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Patients: Malnutrition, Disparities, and Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: O'Connor Mary I. , Bernstein Jenna , Huff Tamara
Published: December 2021

Malnutrition can negatively affect clinical outcomes in total hip and knee arthroplasty. Food security plays an important and complex role in nutritional status, and 10.5% of American households are currently food insecure. Rates of food insecurity are higher for women, Hispanic, and Black Americans, those of lower socioeconomic status, and those in rural areas. Undernutrition disproportionately affects the elderly, a cohort with a high burden of osteoarthritis. Strategies for optimization begin with a holistic assessment of the patient's nutritional status. Patients should have a body mass index >18.5 kg/m2, vitamin D level >30 ng/dL, albumin level >3.5 g/dL, transferrin level >200 mg/dL, and total lymphocyte count of >1,500 cells/mm3. We recommend that orthopaedic surgeons screen for malnutrition for all elective total hip/knee arthroplasty patients.

¿Es posible una estética del crimen?
Authors: Rodríguez Llamosí Juan Ramón
Published: December 2021

El presente trabajo trata de dar respuesta a una cuestión, escasamente tratada y estudiada por los juristas, que relaciona dos conceptos dispares entre sí como son la estética, procedente de la filosofía, y el crimen, procedente del derecho. Partiendo de la pregunta que encabeza el ensayo acerca de si es posible una estética del crimen aborda las dos caras de la cuestión: el aspecto moral del crimen, esto es, la cuestión ética, en la medida en que el crimen es un acto que se aparta del bien; y el aspecto estético, es decir, la espectacularización del horror mediante su escenificación y presentación en los medios de comunicación, así como en el arte, y, en particular, en la pintura, la fotografía y la literatura, en los que ponemos como referencia ejemplos particulares.

Published: December 2021

The main purpose of this paper is to identify the impact of public spending on education and research and development (R&D) on the formation of gross domestic product (GDP) in nine Central European countries, which are divided into two clusters – "old" and "new" EU members. The study took into account official Eurostat data of both the EU and national statistical organizations for the period 2010–2019. The analysis of this impact was carried out using a system approach, statistics and econometric framework including panel data regression, Wald, Breusch-Pagan, Hausman tests. The main finding of the present study is the identification of additional income in terms of GDP in Euro per capita for selected countries, which is obtained from adequately spent public funds for education and R&D. Our results showed that the strongest influence of these expenditures for the "old" members was in Germany and Austria, and for the "new" – in Slovenia and Czechia. It is proved that this impact is different in individual countries and is determined by the public financial policy of national governments.
