Authors: Blanco Vargas J , Hernandez Sandoval EA , Avilez Arias JM , Esquer García MF
Published: December 2024

Introduction: En este caso se reporta a una mujer de 36 años con antecedentes de tricofagia, quien presentó síntomas de oclusión intestinal. Los bezoares, masas intraluminales no digeribles, y en particular los tricobezoares, por su rareza y desafíos diagnósticos y terapéuticos, se vuelven objeto de interés médico.

Presentación del caso: La paciente experimentó dos semanas de intolerancia oral, vómitos, distensión abdominal y ausencia de peristalsis. Los estudios tomográficos revelaron la presencia de tricobezoares en el estómago y el yeyuno. La laparoscopia confirmó la tricofagia y permitió la exitosa extracción de ambos bezoares, destacando la necesidad de intervención quirúrgica.

Conclusión: La discusión se centra en el Síndrome Rapunzel, un tricobezoar infrecuente vinculado a la tricofagia. Se subraya la importancia de la detección temprana y la comprensión de complicaciones como úlceras gástricas y obstrucción intestinal. La elección de la extracción laparoscópica como opción terapéutica destaca la complejidad del tricobezoar. En conclusión, se enfatiza la necesidad crítica de una atención médica oportuna frente a esta condición.

Published: December 2024

Introducción: La peritonitis primaria por Streptococcus pyogenes es una entidad poco frecuente.

Caso clínico: Presentamos un varón de 36 años con antecedentes de traumatismo abdominal que acude a urgencias por dolor abdominal generalizado. Ante exploración física, TAC abdominal y analítica de sangre patológicas e inestabilidad hemodinámica se decidió intervención quirúrgica urgente, objetivando una peritonitis purulenta generalizada sin identificar la causa. Se tomó muestra para cultivo aislando Streptococo pyogenes. Rehistoriando al paciente refería antecedentes de infección de origen orofaríngea.

Discusión: Se han descrito pocos casos en la literatura, en la mayoría mujeres y se sospecha se suelen ser por diseminación ascendente por el tracto genital, pero lo particular de nuestro paciente es que era varón y por otro lado había tenido antecedentes de clínica orofaríngea una semana previa y otro dato confusor que fue lo que nos condujo a intervención quirúrgica era el antecedente del traumatismo abdominal.

El abordaje de los tumores del ángulo esplénico es técnicamente exigente. Además clásicamente se ha considerado que los tumores T4 no son abordables por vía endoscópica. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 52 años con un tumor localmente avanzado a nivel del ángulo esplénico del colon. Consideramos que la cirugía robótica en este caso nos permite realizar una mejor disección consiguiendo realizar una cirugía R0. La magnificación de la imagen nos permite la exéresis completa del tumor y de la infiltración local de la pared abdominal, así como la conservación del bazo. Realizamos la ligadura de la vena mesentérica inferior completando la linfenectomía y realizando una hemicolectomía izquierda con anastomosis intracorpórea. La minimización del daño tisular permiten una pronta recuperación.

Published: December 2024

This research is to develop an underwater treadmill for ageing people who have osteoarthritis problems or the elderly who need physical therapy or exercise by designing the structure of the treadmill to be strong, portable and safe to use. As Thai society in the present is becoming an aging society, most of the elderly have symptoms of osteoarthritis. This underwater treadmill device is essential to reduce knee injuries while exercising. It is also effective to use for walking or running as regular treadmill. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic made life difficult for the elderly to do regular exercise in normal fitness place or a public sport complex due to the need to observe the social distancing and vigilant COVID-19 prevention. In this experiment, a total of 7 subjects were used with subjects running on a treadmill (on land) and on an underwater treadmill (in water) developed for walking or running in water. Seven parameters are collected for both (land and water) running to compare the performance of both treadmills and their feelings after using an underwater treadmill with 7 parameters: 1) VO2 2) VO2 /kg 3) Heart rate 4) %Heart rate 5) Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER) 6) Total Energy Expenditure (Total EE) และ 7) Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE). The results showed that the underwater treadmill had higher exercise energy efficiency than the land-based electric treadmill while running with the same speed. Moreover, the underwater treadmill can reduce impact on the knees with the help the water resistance and uplift during the exercise.
Relationship between Overconfident Investor, Price Prediction Errors and Transaction Losses in the Indonesian Sharia Capital Market (Overestimation Calibration Experiment Approach)
Authors: Lestari Winda Rika , Kufepaksi Mahatma , Hasnawati Sri
Published: December 2024

High overconfidence (a high degree of calculation error) among investors can lead to an overestimation of the price of securities, which can lead to unintentional purchases at a higher price or sales at a price below the underlying value, which can result in transaction losses. The purpose of this study is to examine the connection between overconfidence and the precision of stock price forecasts in the Sharia capital market of Indonesia. This study approach observes investors' reactions in an experimental laboratory setting after they are provided with important information. Based on self-confidence, the research design was split into three classification groups. Markets that get negative news and markets without information are the two categories of treatment. Based on the conducted experiments, the research findings demonstrated that in all experimental market sessions, investors with high overconfidence tended to overestimate the accuracy of their knowledge and information, resulting in higher average predictions and price errors than investors with low overconfidence. This data implies that investors with a high degree of confidence are susceptible to self-deception. The study's findings also demonstrate that, in contrast to investors with low overconfidence, those with strong overconfidence do not necessarily experience losses, even though their average prediction error or price is larger.

Published: December 2024

Fluviatile deposits of the Krutaya Gorka regional formation host a new locality of Early Pliocene continental biota from southern Western Siberia. The Novaya Livenka site provides important data on palynology, paleocarpology, molluscs, fishes, and small mammals, mostly coming from a single fossiliferous bed. This study is the first successful insight into regional Early Pliocene palynology reliably controlled by the stage of mammalian evolution. The micromammal association is dominated by remains of pika Ochotona sp. and the primitive brachyodont vole Promimomys. Important biochronological and paleoecological elements of the fauna also include a shrew Parasoriculus, a hazel dormouse Muscardinus, a small beaver Trogontherium and other forms. The vole P. cf. davakosi characterizes a regional phyletic stage of Arvicolinae between a more brachyodont P. antiquus of earlier Ruscinian and forms of the vole radiation event of the late Ruscinian. Synthetic biotic data enable a reconstruction of a smaller water body with a slow current fringed by patches of broad-leaved and conifer forest, and meadow and steppe-like open landscapes under a humid and warm temperate climate. Biochronologic signals of mammals and palynology imply the Early Pliocene age of the biota and its correlation with late early Ruscinian ELMA (MN 14) and mid-Zanclean between ca. 4.5 and 4.3 Ma.
Kolpochoerus (Suidae, Mammalia) dento-gnathic remains from Algeria: biostratigraphic implications
Authors: Pickford Martin , Chaïd-Saoudi Yasmina
Published: December 2024

Dento-gnathic remains of a fossil suine currently housed at the Université d’Alger are accompanied by a label similar to those associated with other fossils excavated by Arambourg in 1951 at Bou Hanifia from deposits that were, at the time, correlated to the upper Vindobonian or late Middle Miocene. The undescribed suine fossils are enigmatic, in that they do not correspond in geological age to other fossils with similar labels. Several questions are posed including the possibility of mis-labelling. The fossils described herein are attributed to the suine Kolpochoerus maroccanus and correspond closely in terms of morphology and dimensions to material of Kolpochoerus heseloni from the Early Pleistocene of Eastern Africa (Shungura Formation D-G, Ethiopia; Burgi level, Kenya).
Primates and carnivores from Late Miocene and earliest Late Pliocene sites of Macedonia, Northern Greece
Authors: Tsoukala Evangelia , Nagel Doris , Youlatos Dionisios , Crégut-Bonnoure Evelyne , Vlachos Evangelos , Spassov Nikolai
Published: December 2024

our sites in northern Greece, presented here, are of particular interest, due to the presence of fossil primates and carnivores in Late Miocene and Pliocene assemblages. The Thermopigi site in eastern Macedonia is particularly important, due to its demonstrable Late Miocene assemblage of more than twenty different species of large mammals, including the postcranial remains (humerus, tibia, calcaneus) of the colobine Mesopithecus delsoni. Carnivores from this site, represented by hyenids, felids, and mustelids, are also described here. Among them, the hyper-carnivorous and widely spread Adcrocuta eximia, an important biostratigraphic marker of Late Miocene, is compared with the single skull from the nearby site of Platania (Drama), both of great taphonomic interest. The site of Milia (Grevena), in Western Macedonia, is also of particular importance, as it includes the earliest Villafranchian age assemblage. New primate material, an ulna and tibia attributed to aff. Dolichopithecus sp. are also described here. Among the new carnivore finds, an incomplete distal tibia belongs to a new felid for the Milia locality, most likely attributable to either a female Megantereon or a new species of Puma. Further investigations are necessary to confirm either attribution. Finally, the new Pliocene site at Promachonas (Serres), mentioned here for the first time, yielded dental material, most likely belonging to cf. Dolichopithecus balcanicus. This study of new material from these sites contributes to a better knowledge regarding the occurrence of primates and carnivores and their paleoenvironments in northern Greece.
Parameters of range size diversity of European mammals in the Eem interglacial (MIS 5e) and GS 2.1 stadial (MIS 2)
Authors: Puzachenko Andrey Yu.
Published: December 2024

Information on mammal remains from 665 sites/localities was used to estimate the range of size diversity of European species in the Eem interglacial (MIS 5e) and the GS 2.1 stadial (MIS 2). Review of faunal composition and comparison of the rank distributions of the occurrence of species remains across sites allowed determination of the composition of groups of typical and indicator species for each of the time intervals. Entropy, dominance index and self-organization index were calculated from the rank distributions of the occurrence of large, small and medium-sized herbivorous, carnivorous and representatives of the order Eulipotyphla. The parameters of the non-linear function describing the increase in the average number of species that can be found in 1, 2, 3, etc. randomly selected sites were calculated. The relationship between the parameters of these functions and between them and species richness is shown. The paper discusses hypotheses about the relationship between parameter variations and changes in range size ratios in different mammal groups during the Eem interglacial and at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum.

Contrastes entre la Utilización del Material Concreto y los Recursos Digitales en el Proceso de Enseñanza-Aprendizaje
Authors: Cabrera Toro José Fabricio , Espinoza García Diego Leonardo , Treviño Acosta Felipe Arturo , Riofrio Loaiza Jhuliana del Cisne , Rojas Castillo Leonardo Andres
Published: December 2024

Este artículo analiza los contrastes entre la utilización de material concreto y recursos digitales en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. La metodología empleada consistió en una revisión sistemática de la literatura en bases de datos académicas como Scielo, Dialnet y Latindex, focalizada en estudios publicados entre 2020 y 2024. Los principales hallazgos muestran que el material concreto fomenta una experiencia sensorial y manipulativa que mejora la retención a largo plazo, mientras que los recursos digitales destacan por su adaptabilidad, accesibilidad y capacidad de proporcionar retroalimentación inmediata. Sin embargo, ambos enfoques enfrentan desafíos: los materiales concretos tienen limitaciones en cuanto a su personalización y sostenibilidad, mientras que los recursos digitales dependen de la alfabetización tecnológica y la infraestructura adecuada. Las conclusiones señalan que la integración estratégica de ambos recursos puede maximizar los beneficios pedagógicos al combinar la interacción sensorial del material concreto con la flexibilidad de los recursos digitales. Se destaca la importancia de capacitar a los docentes en el uso combinado de estas herramientas y de desarrollar políticas educativas que promuevan entornos de aprendizaje inclusivos y sostenibles.
Diferencias entre el Uso de Redes Sociales y la Publicidad Tradicional en PYMES
Authors: Espinoza García Diego Leonardo
Published: December 2024

Este artículo analiza las principales diferencias entre las redes sociales y la publicidad tradicional para las pequeñas y medianas empresas. A través de una revisión sistemática de la literatura en bases de datos académicas como Scielo, Dialnet y Google Scholar, se evaluaron estudios publicados entre 2020 y 2024. Los resultados evidencian que las redes sociales ofrecen ventajas como costos más bajos, segmentación precisa, interactividad directa con los consumidores y métricas en tiempo real para evaluar el desempeño de las campañas. Estas características les permiten a las PYMES optimizar su inversión y responder rápidamente a las tendencias del mercado. Por el contrario, la publicidad tradicional, aunque efectiva para alcanzar audiencias masivas y fortalecer la confianza en ciertos segmentos, presenta costos significativamente mayores y menor flexibilidad para realizar ajustes. Además, carece de la interactividad y el nivel de personalización que ofrecen las redes sociales. Se concluye que las redes sociales representan una opción más accesible y eficiente para las PYMES, especialmente en contextos donde la agilidad y la optimización de recursos son cruciales. Sin embargo, ambas estrategias pueden complementarse según las características del público objetivo y los objetivos comerciales de la empresa.

Conducive conditions for curriculum practice in teaching accounting at a rural school in the KwaZulu-Natal
Authors: Ajuma Walusa , Tshelane Molaodi
Published: December 2024

The education landscape constantly evolves and brings new challenges and opportunities in teaching practices, particularly in specialised subjects such as accounting. The curriculum's adequacy and delivery significantly influence learners' preparedness for professional pathways and academic advancements. This paper presents a theoretical overview of the conditions conducive to practical curriculum practice in accounting instruction. Building on a synthesis of educational theories and empirical studies, we posit that a multidimensional approach incorporating pedagogical, contextual, technological, and evaluative components is necessary to align accounting education with the demands of the contemporary business environment. In recent years, discourse on teachers’ content knowledge, pedagogy knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge and their influence on learners’ learning outcomes has garnered increasing attention from various stakeholders in the education sector. The theoretical framework we propose aims to support teachers and curriculum developers in fostering educational experiences that enhance learners' engagement and understanding and in applying accounting principles in a multifaceted world. Key to this framework is the integration of technology in pedagogy, the responsiveness of curriculum content to market needs, the adoption of diverse and inclusive teaching methods, and a continuous feedback mechanism to refine teaching strategies. This overview serves as a guide for promising practices and a catalyst for further research on optimising accounting education in a rapidly changing economic landscape.

Authors: Adeduyigbe Adeniyi Michael , Adeduyigbe Anuoluwapo Elizabeth , Tijani Bamidele Emmanuel
Published: December 2024

This paper advocates for reforming science education to better accommodate students with hearing impairment, highlighting the unique challenges they face in traditional educational settings. Key obstacles include communication barriers, instructional methods primarily relying on auditory cues, and a lack of accessible educational materials. The paper emphasises the necessity of integrating visual learning tools and assistive technologies, which have been shown to enhance comprehension and engagement among learners with hearing impairment. Case studies illustrate successful implementations of inclusive practices, showcasing the positive impact on academic outcomes and social integration. However, significant limitations persist, including insufficient resources, inadequate teacher training, and budget constraints that hinder the effective use of technology. The paper concludes by urging educators, policymakers, and stakeholders to take immediate action toward creating more inclusive science classrooms, ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students.
Teachers’ pedagogical practices for including learners with Cerebral Palsy at a primary school in the Chipinge district, Zimbabwe
Authors: Mambwerere Erinet , Dube Loveness
Published: December 2024

The study explored the teachers’ pedagogical practices for including learners with cerebral palsy (LCP) in inclusive classrooms in the Chipinge district in Zimbabwe. It adopted a qualitative approach rooted in the interpretative research paradigm. It used a phenomenological research design to analyse data. Individual semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation of lesson delivery, and document analysis were used for data collection. Nine participants were purposively sampled. Data was analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results showed teachers' various pedagogical practices when teaching LCP. These include differentiation of time and tasks, consultation and partnership, learner-centered learning, and embracing technology. The results of positive reinforcement, teaching social skills, knowing individual learners, and creating a psycho-social environment foster the inclusion of LCP in general classrooms through enhanced respect and acceptance of all learners. Challenges, which include teacher’s lack of skills and knowledge, human and material resources, and lack of skills and knowledge, were seen to be hindering the effective inclusion of LCP. Recommendations include stakeholders pursuing rights-based inclusive education awareness and parental educational programmes and providing appropriate human and material resources.

Authors:   Tambov State University named after G.R. Derzhavin, Cheremisina Natalia V. , Cheremisina Tatiana N. ,   Tambov State University named after G.R. Derzhavin
Published: December 2024

The article provides an economic and statistical analysis of such a demographic phenomenon as fertility. Based on the data of the Federal State Statistics Service, the characteristics of the birth rate in the USSR and in modern Russia are given. The main attention is paid to the birth rate in a separate region – the Tambov region, however, throughout the analysis, there is a comparison with similar average Russian indicators and similar indicators of other Russian regions. A correlation and regression analysis of the factors influencing fertility in the Tambov region was carried out and a forecast of the value of the total fertility rate for the near future was carried out.

Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, Drozd Alexander E. , Nagapetyan Artur R. ,   Far Eastern Federal University
Published: December 2024

This paper simulates mortality from CVDs in the regions of the Russian Federation as one of the stages in the development of a service to determine the optimal number of cardiologists in the region for the platform "Digital East" in the interests of the authorities. Based on the application of spatial econometrics methods, the absence between mortality rates in neighbouring regions is demonstrated. This result is important for substantiating the possibility of using instrumental variables based on the characteristics of neighbouring regions in applied works to assess the impact of cardiologists on mortality rates from CVDs.
Important components of the domestic model of power engineering development
Authors:   Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering of the Siberian Branch of RAS, Kryukov Valeriy A.
Published: December 2024

The article discusses present-day factors and conditions, which, in the author's opinion, largely determine the directions of development of the fuel and energy sector of the Russian economy as a whole and its individual components (electric power industry, oil and gas industries, etc.)
The most important factors include the features of previously created energy assets (both in the segment of extraction of fuel and energy resources and their subsequent use in obtaining various types of useful energy) and those new features that are being formed under the influence of current processes. A significant role is played by the spatial factor, i.e. dispersal of the centers of energy resources production from the places of their predominant use. This is reflected in the increasing role of local knowledge and skills in the development of new types of energy resource development facilities. Local content also plays a significant part in the transition to alternative energy sources.
In the current conditions, the role of projects in the fuel and energy complex is significantly expanding: it is not only about obtaining energy resources and energy, but also about providing socio-economic returns (social value). The FEC can and has every chance to become one of the impulses for the development of domestic science, machine building, high-tech jobs, raising the quality and standard of living of a significant part of the country's population. At the same time, the extremely high growth of electricity consumption in some regions for the purposes of cryptocurrency mining is in clear contradiction with this role of the fuel and energy complex (electric power industry, first of all).
Investigating the Star Formation Characteristics of Radio Active Galactic Nuclei
Authors: Zhang Bojun , Zou Fan , Brandt W. N. , Zhu Shifu , Cristello Nathan , Ni Qingling , Xue Yongquan , Yu Zhibo
Published: December 2024

The coevolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies represents a fundamental question in astrophysics. One approach to investigating this question involves comparing the star formation rates (SFRs) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with those of typical star-forming galaxies. At relatively low redshifts (z ≲ 1), radio AGNs manifest diminished SFRs, indicating suppressed star formation, but their behavior at higher redshifts is unclear. To examine this, we leveraged galaxy and radio-AGN data from the well-characterized W-CDF-S, ELAIS-S1, and XMM-LSS fields. We established two mass-complete reference star-forming galaxy samples and two radio-AGN samples, consisting of 1763 and 6766 radio AGNs, the former being higher in purity and the latter more complete. We subsequently computed star-forming fractions (f
SF; the fraction of star-forming galaxies to all galaxies) for galaxies and radio-AGN host galaxies and conducted a robust comparison between them up to z ≈ 3. We found that the tendency for radio AGNs to reside in massive galaxies primarily accounts for their low f
SF, which also shows a strong negative dependence upon M
⋆ and a strong positive evolution with z. To investigate further the star formation characteristics of those star-forming radio AGNs, we constructed the star-forming main sequence (MS) and investigated the behavior of the position of AGNs relative to the MS at z ≈ 0–3. Our results reveal that radio AGNs display lower SFRs than star-forming galaxies in the low-z and high-M
⋆ regime and, conversely, exhibit comparable or higher SFRs than MS star-forming galaxies at higher redshifts or lower M
⋆.

Gravitational waves (GWs) from primordial black holes (PBHs) inspiraling within neutron stars (NSs)—should they exist—are detectable by ground-based detectors and offer a unique insight into the internal structure of NSs. To provide accurate templates for GW searches, we solve Einstein’s equations within NSs and calculate the orbital motion of the captured PBH by considering dynamical friction, accretion, and gravitational radiation. Equipped with precise GW waveforms for PBHs inspiraling inside NSs, we find that the Einstein Telescope can differentiate between various equations of state for NSs. As PBHs inspiral deeper into NSs, the GW frequency rises near the surface, then decreases to a constant value deeper within NSs. The distinctive characteristics of GW frequency serve as the smoking gun for GW signals emitted by PBHs inspiraling inside NSs and can be used to probe the nuclear matter in the crust and core of NSs.

Charge exchange is a predominant process in inelastic collisions in astronomical plasmas, influencing the charge state balance and leading to X-ray emissions when solar wind ions interact with neutral gas in astrophysical environments. Accurate analysis of these dynamic properties to diagnose the solar wind composition and velocities, as well as the spatial distribution of the heliospheric neutral gas, can be hindered by the limited availability of relevant electron capture studies in the corresponding energy range. The absolute total and

-resolved state-selective cross sections of single electron capture have been measured in the collisional energy range from 2.8 to 40 keV u−1, covering velocities corresponding to fast solar wind and coronal mass ejections. In comparison with existing atomic data, we observe good agreement with other results at overlapping energies. Based on the absolute

n

-state electron capture cross sections, the absolute cross sections of photon emissions following charge exchange between Ne8+ and H2, as well as He gas, were determined for the potential applications in high-resolution X-ray spectra studies of solar wind charge exchange. This work serves as a benchmark for validating the theoretical calculations of charge exchange cross sections and astronomical plasma models, providing valuable insights into the investigation of soft X-ray emissions in solar wind plasma environments.

We report the discovery of three ultracompact binary white dwarf systems hosting accretion disks, with orbital periods of 7.95, 8.68, and 13.15 minutes. This significantly augments the population of mass-transferring binaries at the shortest periods, and provides the first evidence that accretors in ultracompacts can be dense enough to host accretion disks even below 10 minutes (where previously only direct-impact accretors were known). In the two shortest-period systems, we measured changes in the orbital periods driven by the combined effect of gravitational-wave emission and mass transfer. We find

Our new systems are among the highest-amplitude known gravitational-wave sources in the millihertz regime, providing an exquisite opportunity for multimessenger study with future space-based observatories such as LISA and TianQin. We discuss how such systems provide fascinating laboratories to study the unique regime where the accretion process is mediated by gravitational waves.

for the central compact object (CCO) XMMU J173203.3–344518 (XMMU J1732) in the supernova remnant (SNR) HESS J1731–347 challenges standard neutron star (NS) formation models. The nearby post–asymptotic giant branch star IRAS 17287–3443 (≈​​​​​​0.6M
⊙), also within the SNR, enriches the scenario. To address this puzzle, we advance the possibility that the gravitational collapse of a rotating presupernova (SN) iron core (≈1.2M
⊙) could result in a low-mass NS. We show that angular momentum conservation during the collapse of an iron core rotating at ≈45% of the Keplerian limit results in a mass loss of ≈0.3M
⊙, producing a stable newborn NS of ≈0.9M
⊙. Considering the possible spin-down, this indicates that the NS is now slowly rotating, thus fulfilling the observed mass–radius relation. Additionally, the NS's surface temperature (≈2 × 106 K) aligns with canonical thermal evolution for its ≈4.5 kyr age. We propose the pre-SN star, likely an ultrastripped core of ≈4.2M
⊙, formed a tidally locked binary with IRAS 17287–3443, with a 1.43 day orbital period. The SN led to a ≈3M
⊙ mass loss, imparting a kick velocity ≲670 km s−1, which disrupted the binary. This scenario explains the observed 0.3 pc offset between XMMU J1732 and IRAS 17287–3443 and supports the possibility of CCOs forming in binaries, with rotation playing a key role in core collapse, and the CCO XMMU J1732 being the lightest NS ever observed.

BRICS yesterday, today and tomorrow: unpacking the peculiarities going forward from South African perspective
Authors: Isheloke Byelongo Elisée
Published: December 2024

South Africa (SA) joined BRICS in 2010. The study explores the impact of its partnership with the BRICS group on mineral beneficiation in South Africa (SA) from its inception. The BRICS association, that had originally sought to deal with economic issues the founding members faced, became a full-fledged “umbrella organization”, which factors into its engagements a variety of issues including those of policy and polity, economy and culture and certainly the relations between the member countries.

The study culminates in designing a Mineral Beneficiation Model proposed to South Africa with the aim to enhance the cooperation between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa in mining; beyond that, it addresses issues pertaining to the aftermath of the association’s metamorphosis into BRICS Plus.

In South Africa, up to 54 different minerals are extracted from its mines every day, of which a huge quantity is exported abroad to the detriment of local beneficiation entrepreneurs. The BRICS Business Council has previously identified three priorities: infrastructure development, mining beneficiation and mineral beneficiation. At that time, the mining sector contributed around 8% to the South African GDP, but there was not no agreement upon mineral beneficiation model. The involvement of BRICS partners in the extractive industry, however, required interventions to promote mining synergies. The authors sought to develop a model based on the data collected mainly through interviews and questionnaires. The study targeted 79 mining and related companies. A 30% response rate was achieved for the quantitative part of the study and 80% of participants, company representatives among them, were interviewed. The study has shown that South Africa needs to embrace beneficiation and achieve synergy effects when working with the other BRICS Plus members.
Is BRICS Expansion Significant for Global Trade and GDP?

Five members of the BRICS association had invited six other countries, Argentina, Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAE to join the group from 1 January 2024; four of these accepted the invitation. The paper discusses the critical questions as to whether this expansion will enable the BRICS+ to become a greater contributor to the world GDP and trade, and ﻿if the intra-BRICS trade will be more significant than it is now. We expect the share of expanded BRICS in the global GDP to increase by 3%, reaching 28% and the share in the world trade to increase by 5%; the intra-BRICS trade should also rise by 5%. The intra-BRICS trade of the old members has grown considerably over the years. The share of exports by the new members is not large; it increases for some of them and decreases for others, with exports to the older members being much greater than those to the newer members.
