Authors: Ghuman Sarvpreet Singh , Honparkhe Mrigank , Singh Bilawal
Published: June 2023

For assessing the impact of melatonin pre-treatment in summer anestrous Murrah buffaloes on subsequent reproductive activity of a fixed time artificial insemination (FTAI) protocol, 83 anestrous Murrah buffaloes were subcutaneously inserted 2x4 mm size absorbable melatonin (MT) implants (18 mg/50 kg b wt) at the base of left ear and 38 Murrah buffaloes were used as non-implanted controls. On day 35 post-MT, the treatment and control group Murrah buffaloes were subjected to FTAI protocol (Ovsynch plus CIDR). Ovarian ultrasonography and jugular vein blood sampling was carried out on day 7 and 10 of protocol and on day 7-post AI. Overall pregnancy rate on day 90 post-AI in MT group was higher compared to control group (55.4 vs 31.6%, P<0.05), along with the higher (P>0.05) plasma progesterone on day 7 of FTAI protocol in Murrah buffaloes of the former group which conceived subsequently compared to their non-pregnant counterparts. Moreover, MT group had higher (P>0.05) increase in dominant follicle diameter between day 7 and 10 of protocol compared to control group. On day 7 post-AI, the luteal profile in pregnant murrah buffaloes of MT group was better (P<0.05) compared to their counterparts in control group (CL: 14.80±0.70 vs 10.82±0.46 mm, P4: 1.54±0.07 vs 1.04±0.08 ng/ml). In conclusion, melatonin pre-treatment in summer anestrous Murrah buffaloes could be associated with better luteal activity and higher pregnancy rate in the Ovsynch+CIDR protocol.

Published: June 2023

Family being the basic unit of the society plays a vital role in rearing the future of the motherland. That is why many researchers inveted their time on topics related to family. As such, this study was implemented to describe the familial approaches to social and emotional adaptation among elementary graders. It was conducted at Carmen Central Elementary School in Carmen, Cotabato. This aimed to describe how familial approaches affect the social and emotional adaptation of the elementary learners. It also determined the familial approaches that greatly affect their social and emotional adaptation. This case study revealed that familial approaches affect the social and emotional adaptation of learners when their parents are constantly present to care for, love, mentor, and meet their needs and when they were disciplined in a positive and appropriate manner. Aside from families, friends play an important role in the emotional and social development of elementary students because they provide advice, motivation, and happiness. Moreover, the familial approaches that greatly affect the social and emotional adaptation are strict parenting, supportive family, and an overprotective family. Those parents who are authoritarian and have imposed serious control over their child’s socialization with peers. Results indicate that there are times when children should be restrained, disciplined, or controlled, but not always since they also need to go through other experiences that will help them learn and develop. Thus, it is very important for a parent to know how to treat their children properly.

Authors: Sasidharan Soumya , Ranjith V. K. , Prabhuram Sunitha
Published: June 2023

The researchers aim to examine the firm-specific variables that impact the financial performance of general insurance firms in India. The study’s scope is limited to India’s insurance industries from 2010-2011 to 2019-2020. The research considers 21 insurance firms in India out of 35 general insurers. We obtain statistical data from the financial statements of insurance companies. The research used correlation analysis and panel data regression to evaluate financial performance and its impacts. Panel data techniques were employed in the analysis to study the impact of eleven micro factors on the monetary performance of general insurers in India. The influence of micro (internal) variables such as capital adequacy ratio, firm size, age of the firm, retention, liquidity, loss ratio, investment ratio, reinsurance dependence, financial leverage, tangibility, and premium growth rate on the financial performance has been determined using econometric findings in this research. The fixed-effect model results reveal that firm’s age, loss ratio, size, premium growth, and retention ratio are vital in affecting the financial performance of Indian general insurance firms. On the other hand, liquidity and financial leverage are insignificant in determining the financial performance of general insurance firms in India.

Published: June 2023

Recently, the application of aluminum based on ultra-high strength steel is expanding around high-end models of electric vehicles, so it is necessary to develop strategic welding/joining technologies for these materials. In the case of overseas advanced automobile companies, such development is being carried out at the level of introducing mass production facilities through the development of joining technology, but in Korea, the localization rate of original core technology and related equipment in the field of welding and joining is still very insufficient. Therefore, in this study, in order to develop a high-strength rivet suitable for the rivet process during the multi-material bonding process, cold forging steel was used to attain an appropriate level of hardness through changes in the microstructure through heat treatment. Rivets with different hardness were fabricated through heat treatment, and flaring and tensile test were conducted. As a result of flaring test of rivets, buckling occurred with hardness values of Hv 447 and 486, while cracks occurred without buckling in rivets with hardness values of Hv 506. But as a result of tensile shear test using GA980 and Al5052 materials, there was no significant difference in tensile shear load values according to hardness values of the rivets.

El Perú es un país que en el tiempo ha construido y mantenido su democracia en relación directa con el pleno ejercicio de los derechos fundamentales de su sociedad, condicionadas al contexto político, económico y sociocultural de la población. En estos procesos el respeto al Estado Constitucional Democrático de Derecho ha significado una tarea ardua, dado que la historia registra eventos que de alguna manera proponían alterar las bases de la institucionalidad democrática, las amenazas surgidas como el terrorismo han marcado hitos no sólo en el Perú sino en países de la región, las lecciones aprendidas no han permitido una franca reconciliación nacional; en la actualidad prevalecen escenarios diferentes pero con objetivos similares y métodos que han empleado la desigualdad e insatisfacción del pueblo en busca de nuevas confrontaciones constituyéndose en una amenaza a la seguridad nacional, azuzada por operadores políticos internos y externos derivando en constantes protestas y conflictos con la finalidad de atentar contra el Estado Constitucional Democrático de Derecho y desestabilizarlo. En este escenario es prioritario plantear nuevas propuestas y estrategias en el ámbito de la seguridad nacional como factor gravitante para sostener el Estado Constitucional de Derecho, las Instituciones del Estado, el desarrollo y la paz social, estos derroteros deben disponer de un alineamiento transversal en todo el Estado, internalizar el concepto y significado de la seguridad nacional en la población es un reto, sin embargo, sólo constituye una parte del problema, por ello es urgente internalizar con claridad el enfoque multidimensional de seguridad, implementar estrategias y acciones resolutivas para preservar los intereses del Estado pero sobre todo cautelar el pleno ejercicio de la institucionalidad, sin duda los últimos acontecimientos permitirán el replanteo de las acciones de las fuerzas del orden y el apoyo de las Fuerzas Armadas.

Published: June 2023

Environmental and occupational safety issues in the world's mining business have always been the most important issues. The main problems that arise in ex-mining areas include environmental changes which include chemical changes, physical changes and biological changes (Hoskin, 2002). Reclamation is an activity carried out throughout the stages of the mining business to organize, restore and improve the quality of the environment and ecosystem so that they can function again according to their designation (Ahmad, 2006). Primary data collection was obtained using a mobile phone as evidence of the implementation of research activities for research location data, reclamation locations were taken using GPS (global position system) and drones. Secondary data is given directly from supervisors in the company. Land arrangement is intended to obtain a surface finish that is stable and has a natural shape so that it is in harmony with the shape of the pristine landscape, supports the success of plant growth, facilitates access to further work throughout the area, and increases the aesthetic value of the land (Munir, 2017). All irregular heaps are tidied up and leveled, deposits that have the potential to form a collection of water are filled with the result of pushing material from the leveled heap. Ex-mining land with irregular and uneven terrain (holes, relatively steep slopes) must be laid out in such a way as to be stable with low landslide and erosion hazard potential (Noor Rizqoon, 2004). Piling of rocks using top soil as thick as 50 cm on rocky ground. Activities that are no less important are sowing topsoil, making contour drains and making planting holes, these activities are carried out by making arrangements for making drainage and pocket ponds have been completed. Planting holes with a spacing of 3.5 meters and 4 meters can be ascertained that in 1 hectare of reclamation land for Konde Central Pinnacle 714 planting holes can be made, so it can be concluded that the planting holes for Konde Central Pinnacle are good with spacings of 3.5m and 4m.

The quest for economic development in Africa's emerging economies like Zimbabwe is an uphill undertaking that necessitates multi-stakeholder contribution. Since 2000, China and Chinese firms have played a considerable role in contributing to the Zimbabwean economy and community well-being through CSR programmes. However, in the absence of a CSR regulatory framework, it is not clear whether Zimbabwe harnesses the full social-economic potential of CSR arrangements. Existing research on CSR in the country provides sketchy evidence and mainly from a foreign perspective. This paper analyses Chinese corporations’ engagement in promoting the socio-economic progress of communities in a non-mandatory CSR environment and presents a case for a regulatory framework in Zimbabwe. It applies interpretivism to desk review evidence from sources published between 2017 and 2022 and reveals that, despite voluntary CSR arrangements, Chinese firms have contributed to the socio-economic well-being of communities by investing in some development projects. This notwithstanding, a voluntary CSR engagement has provided a leeway for Chinese firms to neglect environmental concerns, violate employee labour rights, and threaten community displacement, especially in mineral-rich areas. The paper concludes that Zimbabwe’s economic hardships push the country to prioritise economic over social and environmental concerns of communities in fear of losing the scarcely available Foreign Direct Investment. However, mandatory CSR arrangements provide mutual benefits to both Zimbabwe and China, thus an opportunity to legislate CSR without jeopardising Sino-Zimbabwe's economic and political relations.

Air pollution is one of the several environmental problems urbanization brings. One of the air contaminants that impacts human health is particulate matter (PM). The current study aimed to assess the relative risks and attributable proportions. It can be brought on by human exposure to PM2.5 and PM10 (PM with aerodynamic diameters ≤ 2.5 μm and ≤ 10 μm, respectively). AirQ+ software was used to modify the health effects of particles on human beings in terms of attributable percentage (AP). Environmental Protection Department (EPD), Punjab Bureau of Statistics, and Punjab Health Department provided input data on particulate concentration, health, and population. Findings indicated that PM2.5 with an average concentration of 106 ug/m3 per year makes up 54.04 % of the attributable proportion (AP) of age 30+ adults, all-cause mortality rate, and 46.31% AP of age 30+ adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). AP to stroke mortality in adults age 25+ was 65.01% (BI-150), and 38.28% (BI-630) was in children aged 0-5 years, contributing to acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) mortality. The attributable proportion to ischemic heart diseases (IHD) in adults age 25+ was found to be 56.19%. It was also found that PM10 with an average concentration of 163 ug/m3 contributes 44.05% AP to infant post-neonatal. There must be appropriate mitigating strategies for pollution reduction concentration to reduce the potential adverse effects of air on health particulates.

Microstrip antennas possess a compact form factor, exhibit a low profile, and demonstrate a lightweight nature, thereby enabling their suitability for deployment on both planar and non-planar surfaces. When the framework is installed, it requires a comparatively small amount of space. The production of printed circuits has become a facile and inexpensive process owing to advancements in contemporary technology. Antennas with a low profile are often required owing to space, weight, cost, performance, simplicity of installation, and aerodynamic profile in powerful planes, spaceships, satellites, and rocket operations. Many other applications, not only mobile radio and wireless communications, have comparable requirements. Microstrip antennas are a useful tool for accomplishing this goal. A proposal has been put forth to utilize a patch antenna for 5G cellular connectivity at 28 GHz, with the aim of generating robust beams on the azimuthal plane. The antenna proposed in this study exhibits a radiation efficiency of 93.46 percent and a total efficiency of 92.80 percent, as demonstrated through simulations. This study showcases the feasibility of producing millimeter-wave antennas operating at 28 GHz through the utilization of cost-effective additive manufacturing techniques. The simulation of all outcomes is conducted through the utilization of the CST Microwave Studio.
The Catalytic Role of Covid-19 Pandemic in the Paradigm Shift in the Cross-Border University Education: The Case of Uganda

Published: June 2023

Globalisation, technological advancements, global university ranking pressure and cross-border education service trade have gradually been causing a paradigm shift in the cross-border university education sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating consequences for university education characterised by massive infections, closure of learning institutions, and deaths of students, academics and scholars. While it gravely affected the cross-border mobility of students, academics and scholars, it ironically proved to be a catalyst for the paradigm shift from physical to virtual cross-border university education. This study assessed this catalytic role. A descriptive study design which incorporated both quantitative and qualitative research approaches was adopted. A study population of 39 public and 12 private universities in Uganda was targeted. A desk review was conducted focusing on electronic databases, websites, online libraries and some grey literature. Descriptive analysis was conducted for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. It was established that crossborder university education in Uganda was still low-key, with only a few of the universities practising it. The inbound cross-border mobility outweighs the outbound; and the pandemic is catalysing the current paradigm shift towards a highly virtual paradigm characterised by virtuality, flexibility, technological savviness and learner-centred learning. Virtuality was found to be expressed in terms of virtual cross-border mobility, virtual/online student enrolment and virtual learning; while flexibility was in terms of teaching and learning, and of curriculum coverage. Cross-border mobility having dwindled, universities need to embrace the new paradigm and expeditiously review their cross-border policies accordingly.

Published: June 2023

Entrepreneurship has been challenging to embrace amongst youths because entrepreneurship is much more than skill acquisition but requires a strong will to forge ahead. Although entrepreneurship education teaches skills, the real challenge is an individual’s willingness to apply the skills acquired to real-life situations through self-employment in the face of escalating graduate unemployment in developing economies. This study aims at identifying factors affecting self-employment, encouraging entrepreneurship as a livelihood and reducing unemployment among graduates in Tanzania. The entrepreneurship theory is used in the study. The survey through snowball technique was able to identify 357 respondents in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Singida, Arusha, Iringa, Morogoro and Mbeya. Descriptive and multiple linear regression r statistical analyses were employed. The findings reveal that entrepreneurship theory variables used in the study knowledge and skills significantly positively affect self-employment. However, competence does not have a significant effect on self-employment. The result implies that entrepreneurship training to gain knowledge and acquire skills will improve the embracement of self-employment by graduates of institutions of higher education. This further suggests that training institutions ought to enhance the learning content of knowledge and skills in their training programs to equip learners with necessary tools for self-employment in eradicating the problem of unemployment to graduates of institutions of higher education. This study recommends that institutions of higher education graduates embrace self-employment as it offers independence and financial rewards.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: The study aimed to understand the dynamics of the relationship between organizational resilience and the adaptive capacity of a family company from Rio Grande do Sul, aiming to sustain its performance in the midst of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus.
Design / methodology / approach: The research was operationalized by means of a case study, carried out in a family company in the food industry in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Afterwards, the material was transcribed and entered into NVivo® software to perform the content analysis.
Findings: The results indicate that the resilience dimensions enabled the emergence of the company's adaptive capacity to sustain itself amidst the turbulent environment. Therefore, the findings indicate that the organizational resilience of the company analyzed in this case study provided the company's adaptation to the pandemic context through coping, recovery and resumption of the company in the face of change and uncertainty.
Limitations / implications: We highlight the non-participation of the researchers effectively in the field, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. This fact prevented the expansion of data triangulation through non-participant observation of the daily life of the family business.
Practical implications: The study enables managers to reflect on how to sustain their companies in crisis environments through anticipatory or reactive actions, characterized based on dimensions of organizational resilience, which enable the company's adaptive capacity.
Originality / value: The originality of this study is confirmed by a bibliometric survey that found a lack of studies which use the approaches of organizational resilience, adaptive capacity, and perceived performance together, in the light of the socioemotional wealth theory.

Аңдатпа. Мақалада тарихи дерек көздерде Қазақ хандығына қатысты кезедесетін терминология қарастылады.

Жұмыстың дерек көздері Шығыста жазылған мұсылман тарихи және тарихи-географиялық шығармалар мен орыс архивінде сақталған құжаттар материалдары.

XV ғасырдың екінші жартысында Еуразия даласында қалыптасқан қазақ халқының ұлттық мемлекеті Қазақ хандығына қатысты тарихи  жазба дереккөздерде  түрлі терминдер қолдалынған. Мысалы, шығыс мұсылман дерек көздерінде ол «Қазақ ұлысы», «Қазақ ел-ұлысы» деп аталады. Ал орыс архивінде сақталған құжатамалық материалдарда Қазақ хандығы «Казакская (Казатцкая, Кайсацкая, Киргиз-казацкое, Киргис-кайсацкая, Казачья) ордасы» деген атау алады. Сонымен қатар оған қатысты «Бараков Царев Казацкий юрт» және «Урусов царев юрт» деген тіркестер қолданылғаны белгілі. Ал Еуропа деректерінде Қазақ хандығы «Cassack horde» («Қазақ Ордасы») деген атаумен белгілі. Сондай-ақ кейбір парсы тіліндегі деректерде Қазақ хандығына қатысты «дәулет»  (мемлекет) термині қолданылса, кейбір орыс елшілік құжаттарының мәтіндерінде ол «государство» (мемлекет) аталған. XVIII ғасырдағы қазақ билеушілері Әбілқайыр хан мен Абылай ханның хаттарында («Алаш(ц)ские улусы») және «Алаш жұрты» («Алацкий йурт /  владения») терминдер кездеседі. XVI ғасыр 30-шы жылдардан бастап жазба мұсылман дерек көздерінде қазақ жерлерін белгілеу үшін «Қазақстан» – «Қазақтар елі» термині қолданыла бастайды. «Қазақ хандығы» терминін алғаш рет қазақ зерттеушісі М. Тынышпаев қолданған. Шығыс жазба деректерінде қазақ хандығының билеушілеріне қатысты «хан» және «хакан» деген терминдер қолданылса, орыс деректерінде олар «царь» (патша) терминімен аталады. Қазақ билеушілеріне қатысты парсы тіліндегі жазбаша дерек көздерде «падишах» термині қолданылады.

Тарихи дерек көздерде қолданылған терминологияны зерттеу Қазақ хандығының XV-XVIII ғасырдың басында егеменді мемлекет болғанын және оны басқа мемлекеттер халықаралық-құқықтық тұрғыдан мойындағанын көрсетеді. Көрші мемлекеттер билеушілерінің қазақ хандарын дербес мемлекеттің билеушілері ретінде қарастырғаны және олардың жоғары мәртебесін мойындағаны тарихи деректерде анық байқалады.
Inductively Coupled Plasma-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) and Its Applications
Authors: Balaram V.
Published: June 2023

During the last about 10 years, the inductively coupled plasma tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) technique with reaction cell is being utilized for the analyses of several trace elements/isotopes at very low concentration levels in a variety of matrices including geological, environmental, biological, medical, nuclear, agriculture, food, material and metallurgical sciences. Both solution nebulization, as well as direct analysis of samples by laser ablation (LA-ICP-MS/MS), are utilized for sample introduction. In fact, ICP-MS/MS technique with collision reaction cells eliminated the need for laborious chemical separations using methods such as ion-exchange or solvent extraction procedures to eliminate/minimize spectral and matrix interference effects as these interferences are removed using online chemical reactions within the instrument itself (chemical resolution). In addition, the technique is hyphenated with chromatographic techniques such as GC and HPLCfor a variety of applications. The detection limits for several elements in the periodic table lie in the pg/ml-fg/ml range, and the technique compares favourably with the expensive, complex, and superior high resolution-ICP-MS (HR-ICP-MS), both in terms of the detection limits as well as the ability to remove the most complex interferences. Thus, the ICP MS/MS made the determinations of elemental as well as isotopic concentrations very simple andeasy even in complex materials with several novel quantification approaches. This article provides an overview of these new developments during the last decade along with several applications in all areas of science and technology.

Implications of applying fair value accounting to modern financial reporting
Authors: Petrović Dragana , Radosavac Adriana , Mashovic Azemina
Published: June 2023

Fair value accounting is a concept whose main goal is to provide quality information about financial status, success and cash flows in order to satisfy the informational needs of investors. By introducing this concept, the focus is placed on the balance sheet and not on the income sheet statement as was in the case of the historical cost concept. The goal of financial reporting is to show assets, liabilities and net assets in the balance sheet at fair value on the balance sheet date. The subject of research in this work is the application of fair value accounting, which will be shown on a concrete example in which equipment will be evaluated according to the concept of historical cost, and then the equipment will be evaluated according to the concept of fair value. After that, a comparison of these two concepts will be made, in order to present the financial effects of valuation on assets and liabilities. The importance of applying historical cost accounting is the correct periodization of income and expenses, while the importance of fair value accounting is the presentation of assets and liabilities according to current market prices. The elaborated moments resulted in the reconciliation and unification of these two concepts, which is realized by the hybrid model of financial reporting.

Introduction: Renal blood vessel (RBV) stenosis is the cause of secondary arterial hypertension (AH) in 10% of children. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the gold standard in diagnosing RBV stenosis. Many authors suggest Mr angiography (MRA), a non-invasive method without radiation, as an adequate diagnostic method. Our aim was to analyze the experience of our center in using MRA in children with AH. Method: This retrospective study included 148 patients hospitalized at the University Children's Hospital in Belgrade, due to AH. After initial examination, patients underwent DSA and/or MRA. Results: According to the current guidelines, DSA was performed in patients with highly suspected RBV stenosis, and the diagnosis was confirmed in 13/29 (45%). Diagnostic MRA was done in 116/119 (97.5%) patients, and control MRA was done after therapeutic revascularization in 3/119 (2.5%). In 4/116 (3.5%) patients, the findings indicated RBV stenosis, and in 44/116 (38%) it indicated some other abnormality of the kidney parenchyma and the urinary tract or RBV varieties. After MRA, DSA was performed in 7/116 (6%) patients (4 with RBV stenosis on MRA and 3 with clinical suspicion of RBV stenosis), but all findings were normal. Conclusion: According to the results, it is justified to perform a diagnostic MRA before DSA in children with highly suspected RBV stenosis, in order to avoid DSA which is an invasive procedure with radiation, in some patients with normal findings. Also, over time, we would have a clearer view of the sensitivity and specificity of MRA as a diagnostic method in RBV stenosis in children.

Introduction: Pregnancy management and the choice of delivery method in kidney transplant patients are still a matter of debate. The goal is to achieve the balance between mother's underlying disease treatment and optimal conditions for fetal development and maturity. Case study: The patient is a 36-year-old woman whose first pregnancy was complicated by kidney transplantation 11 years ago. During hospitalization, the values of all renal function parameters and cyclosporine concentration in the blood were regularly monitored, and nephrologists and urologists were regularly consulted. Having in mind the pelvic presentation of the fetus, ectopic localization of the transplanted kidney and comorbidities such as deafness, gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension, the delivery was completed by caesarean section with the presence of a urologist and a healthy male child was born. Conclusion: By following the trends in current literature and applying team work, intensive supervision and adequate therapy for the mother and the fetus, it is possible to manage pregnancy in complicated transplanted patients and achieve outcomes equal to those of a physiological pregnancy.
Cyber security of a critical infrastructure
Authors: Vesić Slavimir , Bjelajac Martin
Published: June 2023

A critical infrastructure consists of basic assets and facilities whose functioning has a significant impact on the society and economy of a country, as well as on its security. The life and work of the citizens of a country are largely dependent on a smooth operation of various energy, telecommunication, water and sewage facilities, as well as the network of hospitals and health institutions, transportation, etc. The safe functioning of these systems is a prerequisite for the existence and development of a social community in an area. Therefore, it is necessary to undertake all necessary activities to preserve a critical infrastructure both in reality and cyberspace. With the development of the Internet, there has been a transformation of people's work and life in the broadest sense, in such a way that it has become an indispensable part of everyday life of each of us. Together with the largest global network increasingly used as well as the various services people necessarily being relied on in the new reality the world encountered during the COVID-10 pandemic, there has been created a vast space attracting the malicious users. They act by using the known mechanisms of functioning communication networks and other information technologies, finding the system vulnerabilities and exploit them. In this paper, we will analyze the cyber security of a critical infrastructure, cyber attacks on a critical infrastructure and the measures needed to be taken to mitigate the consequences of cyber attacks.
Etiology and phenomenology of violence against children
Authors: Petrović Maja
Published: June 2023

The attitude of the society towards children is conditioned by its cultural, social, economic, and political aspects. However, violence against children is a historical phenomenon present in every society, regardless of its level of development. The responsibility lies with the state and society to enable and ensure the equality of children's rights with other members of the community and to protect children from violence, considering the fact that children cannot do this by themselves. Destructiveness of the consequences of violence against children indicates the necessity of a systematic fight against this phenomenon. The subject of this paper is to present the etiology of violence against children, i.e., the causes influencing the influx of violence against children, as well as the phenomenological aspect of this occurrence. In this context, this paper aims to indicate the causes, characteristics, and manifestations of violence against children through the presentation of empirical knowledge. The forms of violence against children overlap, but it is necessary to distinguish them in order to create more effective measures of their prevention and suppression.

Published: June 2023

Background/Aim: Nowadays, adolescents are exposed to some negative challenges. Bullying is one of the horrible phenomena that can be seen in the physical and mental harassment of children and teenagers. Another challenge is addiction to computer games as well as writing on social networks. Gambling addiction, habituation and exposure to psychostimulants are also a trap for causing severe pathology. The aim of this study was to present an insight into the possible challenges of today to which adolescents are exposed and how they affect their personality and maturation. Methods: The authors collected data and materials on the mentioned topics from their daily medical work. They also used articles in professional magazines and newspapers and television shows. Results: Society must make efforts to eradicate such events in schools. We are witnessing various challenges and pitfalls that affect youth, society, culture and civilisation. Among the bad things, drug addiction, alcoholism, smoking, addiction to the Internet and computer games are in the first place. Conclusion: Due to negative challenges, the youth neglect their schoolwork and duties. The school environment can be a place for violent behaviour, brachial attacks (bullying and harassment). Recognising social interactions, family relationships and understanding the underlying psychiatric conditions which may be associated with risky behaviour in adolescents could be essential for treatment planning.

Published: June 2023

The authors of the paper deal with immigration policies, migration management, migration management policy via case study based on the example of two purposefully chosen countries which have diametrically opposite immigration policies. The aim is to see up to which extent and whether these countries are interested into integrating immigrants into their social, legal, political and cultural space, through their institutional capacities, by the means of comparative analysis of German and Hungarian immigration policies, their social, demographic and economic structure, and their cultural and security policies. By defining concepts of migration, immigration, integration, immigration policy, migration management, immigration border management, the authors precisely pinpoint the differences, and the causes of those differences, in the policies towards migrants in these two countries.
Monetarism Theory and Liquidity Decisions of Business Enterprises in Kenya
Authors: Kasidi Khamis , Riwegho Saumu Amir
Published: June 2023

In order to comprehend how monetary elements and Kenya's financial environment interact, this research investigates the application of monetarism theory to liquidity decisions for enterprises in Kenya. Milton Friedman's monetary theory places a strong emphasis on how the amount of money in circulation affects how the economy performs. Understanding the use of monetarism theory becomes essential in the Kenyan context, as the Central Bank of Kenya plays a key role in enacting monetary policy. The study assesses the effect of monetary policy instruments, including interest rate changes and open market operations, on liquidity decisions and looks at the relationship between changes in the money supply and firm-level liquidity positions. In the context of monetarism theory, it also looks at how macroeconomic variables like inflation rates, currency fluctuations, and economic growth affect firm-level liquidity decisions. This study attempts to add to the body of knowledge on the connection between monetary conditions and firm-level liquidity decisions by applying monetarism theory to the Kenyan setting. The results can help Kenyan policymakers make decisions that are supported by facts and that will promote financial stability, effective liquidity management, and long-term economic growth.
