OBTENÇÃO DE EXTRATOS DE PLANTAS MEDICINAIS: UMA REVISÃO DE ESCOPO DOS MÉTODOS EXTRATIVOS MODERNOS EM COMPARAÇÃO AO MÉTODO CLÁSSICO POR SOXHLET
Authors: Souza Rafaella Ribeiro , Gasparoti Pabline Silva , De Paula Joelma Abadia Marciano
Published: May 2022

Esta scoping review teve como objetivo reunir informações científicas que comparam a eficiência dos métodos extrativos modernos, aplicados a plantas medicinais, com o método tradicional Soxhlet. O intuito é auxiliar as tomadas de decisões quanto a escolha de métodos extrativos mais eficientes, simples, baratos, seguros e sustentáveis. Para tanto, foram estabelecidos: a questão norteadora da pesquisa, os descritores, as bases de dados, e os critérios de elegibilidade para a seleção e análise dos artigos. De 407 resultados identificados pela pesquisa, 35 estudos preencheram os critérios de inclusão.   Os estudos evidenciaram que, mesmo que a extração em aparato de Soxhlet apresente uma alta eficiência extrativa de compostos bioativos em plantas medicinais, parâmetros como o tempo elevado e o alto consumo de energia, fazem com que o uso de processos modernos, como a extração assistida por ultrassom e micro-ondas, sejam alternativas baratas, simples e sustentáveis, com eficiência extrativa semelhante ou superior.
CARACTERIZAÇÃO CLÍNICA E SOCIODEMOGRÁFICA DE INDIVÍDUOS COM DISTÚRBIOS NA COLUNA VERTEBRAL ATENDIDOS EM AMBULATÓRIO DE UM HOSPITAL DO DISTRITO FEDERAL: ESTUDO TRANSVERSAL
Authors: De Oliveira Débora Bispo , Marques Yara Andrade , Custódio Luciana Alves , Carregaro Rodrigo Luiz
Published: May 2022

Introdução: De acordo com a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), os distúrbios da coluna atingem cerca de 80% da população em algum momento de suas vidas. Indivíduos acometidos por essas condições são usuários frequentes de serviços de saúde. Esse aspecto ocasiona um aumento da demanda em saúde e, consequentemente, dos custos diretos advindos da assistência. Nesse sentido, compreender as características sociodemográficos de indivíduos acometidos por essa condição pode ajudar no planejamento de metas e organização dos serviços. Objetivo: Caracterizar uma população de indivíduos acometidos por distúrbios na coluna atendidos no ambulatório de um hospital de grande porte do Distrito Federal, em 2018. Método: Estudo transversal aprovado pelo CEP/FEPECS (26011419.7.3001.5553), composto por indivíduos com distúrbios crônicos na coluna. Os dados foram analisados descritivamente por meio de média e desvio padrão, frequências relativas e absolutas. Resultados: Foram analisados 200 prontuários eletrônicos. Verificou-se que os participantes, em sua maioria, foram do sexo feminino (75%), casados (31%), trabalhadores na área de serviços e vendedores do comércio (27%) e sedentários (51%). A média de idade foi de 52 anos (DP: 15). Dentre as comorbidades mais frequentes, destacou-se a Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (45%) e a Depressão (22,5%). Foi observado que o distúrbio na coluna mais frequente foi a dor lombar (84%). Conclusão: Nossos achados demonstraram que indivíduos acometidos por distúrbios da coluna atendidos no ambulatório investigado foram, em sua maioria, mulheres na faixa etária compreendida entre 40 e 60 anos, sedentárias e com a presença de comorbidades. A dor lombar foi a condição mais prevalente.
Autobiography in Anthropology
Authors: Laviolette Patrick , Bošković Aleksandar
Published: May 2022

The year 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Helen Callaway and Judith Okely’s edited anthology Anthropology and Autobiography. During that generational span, which roughly mirrors the life history of this journal, the book has had far-reaching influences, anchoring a legacy that few such conference collections can imagine for themselves. Indeed, the volume has become a classic reference work for scholars in all walks of the social sciences and humanities when it comes to considering a range of interrelated themes: the reflexive turn; personal encounters in the field; the literary influence of the biographical on ethnography; anthropology’s ancestries/histories (Lohmann 2008; Pina-Cabral and Bowman 2020); and so on. Another aspect of this endeavour is looking at ‘anthropology at home’ (Jackson 1987), with all the implications that this brings for research (Peirano 1998), including the notion of ‘auto-anthropology’ (Rapport 2014: 24–35).
Autobiography, Anthropology
Authors: Okely Judith
Published: May 2022

In the 1980s, the theme for a future ASA conference had to be personally proposed by a potential organiser at the conference two years earlier. The proposer had to personally convince attending participants, who decided by a visible vote of hands. This recollection on the theme ’‘Anthropology and Autobiography’’ traces the successful 1987 vote for the 1989 conference proposed by myself with Helen Callaway. Before the vote, there were many negative comments claiming our proposal was mere ‘navel -gazing’ and a ‘feminist plot’. Inspired by the problematisation of the use of ‘I’ in Clifford and Marcus’ ‘Writing Culture’, we wanted further confrontation of the gender, age and personality of the participant observer. This article includes references to Malinowski’s controversial Diary and the proposers’ struggles with earlier publishers. Comments are made about the photographs in the ensuing volume. Bizarrely, it is now taken for granted that the specificity of the fieldworker is crucial when it comes to the choice of subject and rapport with key individuals in the field.
Ground-Level Travel for a Non-Flying Baltic States Anthropologist from Northern Ireland
Authors: Hamilton Gareth E.
Published: May 2022

This auto-ethnographic/biographical account deals with the experiences that a non-flying Northern-Ireland-born anthropologist living in the Baltic States has of mobility, infrastructure and connectedness, in particular with reference to academic and personal life. The article considers the movements which a career as an academic anthropologist requires, as well as the difficulties and intricacies that being located in Eastern Europe has for such land travel. Based on years of experience, it questions travel time and cost with particular reference to the seeming need to travel towards Western Europe in order to remain connected to the discipline’s main ‘movements’. The article also examines solutions such as the Via Baltica, and looks forward to improvements that new infrastructure (such as high-speed railways) can bring.
It Begins and Ends with an Image
Authors: Favero Paolo S. H.
Published: May 2022

A three-act session of storytelling, this visual essay explores the connection between photographs (and images at large) and death. A piece of authobiography, it follows the intimate journey of the author accompanying his father’s departure first and his own grief later. The article positions photographs as objects that are more than mere representations. They are living things that accompany us during our lives. And photography, the author suggests by looking at photographs taken by himself, is a way for opening up time and acknowledging the present. Photographs are capable of bridging the gap between life and death.
Echo and the Ecumene
Authors: Leete Art , Laviolette Patrick
Published: May 2022

A duo-biographical recollection of an encounter, this article comprises a dialogue between the authors. On the one hand, it is about a shared moment – a tandem ‘go-along’ tour of the Echo of the Urals exhibition in the Estonian National Museum. On the other, it is about certain similarities and differences in the disciplinary approaches to curating as well as to spectating an ‘inter-national’ museum space in Estonia’s second-largest city, Tartu.
The Pain and the Creeping Feeling
Authors: Österholm Maria Margareta
Published: May 2022

The aim of the article is to analyse how a feminist critique is expressed in the graphic novels Det känns som hundra år [It feels like a hundred years] (1999) and Deras ryggar luktade så gott [Their backs smelled so good] (2014) by Åsa Grenvall. The theoretical framework draws from the concept of skewedness, a variation of queer theory, and theories of queer temporality. Grennvall delivers a feminist critique by exposing the norms of girlhood as unattainable and by visualising skewedness in relation to girlhood and the lifelines of the protagonists, a result of both gender norms and emotional neglect.

Authors:   Federal Rostov Agricultural Research Centre, Voshedskiy N. N. , Kulygin V. А. ,   Federal Rostov Agricultural Research Centre
Published: May 2022

Purpose: to define the optimal seeding rates, the mineral status influence on the yield and water consumption of leguminous crops in rainfed conditions in Rostov region. Materials and methods. Research of the Federal Rostov Agricultural Research Centre was carried out in 2018–2019. The soil of the experimental plot was calcareous, medium, light loamy ordinary chernozem on loess-like loam. The humus content in the arable layer is 4.0–4.2 %, total nitrogen is 0.22–0.25 %, mobile phosphorus is 39 mg/kg, potassium is 545 mg/kg. Solution reaction (pH) is 7.1–7.3. Soil density in the 0.3 m layer is 1.27 g/cm³. Chickpeas Donplaza, lentils Donskaya, peas Sotnik varieties were used. The following factors were studied: factor A: seeding rates (million units/ha) of chickpeas: 0.6 (control); 0.8; 1.0; lentils: 1.4; 1.8; 2.2; pea: 0.8 (control); 1.0; 1.2; factor B: fertilizer levels for all crops (high N30P80K80, medium N15P40K40, control without fertilizer). When conducting a field experiment, generally accepted methods were used (Dospekhov B.A., 1985, Vadyunina A.F., 1986). Results. Increasing the chickpea seeding rate from 0.6 to 1.0 million units/ha, regardless of the fertilizer application rate, increased the yield by 23.5 %. A similar increase in the lentil seeding rates from 1.4 to 2.2 million units/ha and peas from 0.8 to 1.2 million units/ha gave an increase of 27.8 and 28.9 %, respectively. At the same time, the difference in lentil yield at seeding rates of 1.8 and 2.2 million units/ha did not exceed 0.05 t/ha. The average level of nutrition N15P40K40, regardless of the seeding rate, increased the yield of chickpeas by 20.0 %, lentils by 25.0 %, and peas by 17.5 %. A high level of N30Р80K80 fertilizers provided a similar increase in chickpeas by 36.1 %, lentils 36.6 %, peas 39.9 %. The highest payback of fertilizers by yield increase against the background of N15P40K40 was observed in chickpeas (3.26 kg/kg) and lentils (2.0 kg/kg), against the background of N30P80K80 in peas (1.95 kg/kg). Conclusion. The best average yields of legumes were noted at high levels of nutrition and seeding density: 2.29 t/ha for chickpeas, 1.68 t/ha for lentils, and 1.59 t/ha for peas.

Japan: Innovations in society under the influence of COVID-19
Authors: Tikhotskaya Irina S.
Published: May 2022

Japan's model of anti-COVID strategy, rated as the most "toothless" in the world, has been shown to be highly effective, and through the use of innovative infection control measures the Tokyo Olympics was also successful.
After a brief assessment of the country's course of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021, the authors analyze the characteristics of innovations in Japan created under its influence and show that the pandemic, which itself is essentially an innovation, has inspired the Japanese to create original innovative products and solutions that are in demand in society. The world is well aware of Japan's achievements in the high-tech consumer electronics sector, in which, despite the increased competition, it strives to maintain its high position, using artificial intelligence as one of the main technologies. During pandemic, it has created not only applications for the medical industry, but also, as presented in the article, for humanoids already in use in the service industry.
It is important for Japan to accelerate digitalization, an area in which it lags behind both because of traditional decision-making practices requiring approvals at every stage and the tradition of using hankoseals instead of personal signatures; and telework, which lies in the key to creating a sustainable society.
Around the world, the contribution of start-ups in providing services and solutions unavailable to large corporations and governments has increased markedly, and Japan, a country that tends to rely more on familiar and verified action schemes, is no exception. Characterized by its rapid incorporation of the latest scientific and technological advances into everyday life, Japan has already offered a number of innovative solutions for safe living in the new reality created by the pandemic. The article considers the environment in which innovations are implemented gives examples of original startups: innovative protective masks, devices, and new ways to protect against the virus in the catering industry.
Egypt in the competition for economic leading in Africa
Authors: Volkov Sergey N.
Published: May 2022

The article analyzes the economic potential and development dynamics of Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa in the period from 1970 to 2020 based on GDP indicators in constant prices in 2015 and in PPP, as well as in per capita GDP. As a result, the author concludes that South Africa continues to maintain its position as the economic leader of Africa, although Egypt is developing much more dynamically and has already surpassed the South African Republic in a number of indicators. However, it continues to lead in the monetization of its scientific and technological activities, the volume of FDI and commodity trade with the African countries. Nevertheless, the author believes that in the mid-30s it will be possible to talk about a change in the economic leader in Africa.
He attributes the success of Egypt's economic development to the deep modernization of the country in all spheres of public life during the republican rule. Since 2014, President A.F. as-Sisi has also been pursuing a course of carefully elaborated and profound reforms in order to improve public finances and the efficiency of the Egyptian economy, primarily through the development of human capital, and change its position in the system of international economic relations on this basis. However, since initially these changes would have had a very negative impact on the well-being of the vast majority of Egyptians, they were preceded by measures of targeted support for the least well-off segments of the population. The success in the reform of the Egyptian economy allowed it to maintain a high growth rate in the crisis of 2020, while in South Africa and Nigeria there was a deep recession.
Legal problems of preservation of closed dry out water bodies on the example of the Turaly lakes of Dagestan
Authors: Shaporenko Sergey I.
Published: May 2022

The paper raises the problem of the existing gap in the water legislation concerning the closed drainage bodies of the arid zone, which often dry up and change their morphometric and hydrological characteristics. These problems are studied using the example of the Turaly lakes, the degradation of which ecosystemы has intensified in the last decade in connection with the advance from the north of the Makhachkala-Caspian agglomeration, the largest in Dagestan, and the intensified regional climate aridization. As a first step to solving the legal problem, amendments to certain articles of the Water Code of the Russian Federation are proposed.
Maternal capital as a type of social support for families with children: problems of law enforcement and solutions
Authors: Letova Nataliya V.
Published: May 2022

In the article, the author considers theoretical and practical issues that arise in connection with the definition of the nature and purpose of maternity capital funds in the case of a family with children acquiring housing. Particular attention is paid to the legal nature of the parents' agreement on determining the shares of children in the right to housing, the specifics of maternity capital funds are taken into account, it is determined that they do not form the content of the common joint property of the spouses, different approaches to determining the size of the shares of spouses and children in the housing are systematized, for the acquisition of which the funds of maternity capital were directed. The author formulates a conclusion about the ambiguous nature of the obligation of parents, about the absence in the legislation of the minimum size of the child’s share and criteria for its determination, about the problems of allocating such shares in the event of dissolution of the parents' marriage or in case of inheritance of the share, about the need for systemic changes in the norms aimed at regulating relations in connection with the use of maternity capital.
Legal regulation of quantum communications in Russia and in the world
Authors: Polyakova Tatiana A.
Published: May 2022

The article analyzes the current state of legal regulation of quantum communications as one of the key varieties of quantum technologies. The analysis of the definitions of “quantum communications” available in the current legislation is carried out, their legal nature as a variety of information and digital technologies is determined. The legal concept of “quantum communications” is formulated. The current legislation in the field of quantum communications is analyzed. The main directions of legal regulation of quantum communications in Russia, the key problems that arise in this case are identified. The development of the Concept of regulatory legal regulation of the quantum communications industry in the Russian Federation is proposed. The analysis of the legal regulation of relations arising in connection with the use of quantum communications indicates a clear lack of methodological support for these processes, the absence of a unified approach to understanding what constitutes “quantum communications”, how it is necessary to develop Russian legislation to ensure the breakthrough introduction of quantum communications. An analysis of the regulation of the quantum communications industry in the world indicates that regulation at the level of strategies, concepts, road-maps and development programs is predominant in this process. An important mechanism of state regulation of the development of quantum communications is the state financing of support for projects in the field of quantum communications. The authors have identified several approaches that have developed abroad to the regulation of quantum technologies, including quantum communications, at the level of strategic regulation. The key promising issues in the field of quantum communications that have found legal regulation in foreign countries, which can be applied in Russia, are identified. The key measures of state support for the quantum communications industry, which should find regulatory reflection in the near future, are identified and systematized.

Effect of Provider Education on Urinary Incontinence Knowledge and Assessment
Authors: Roloff Kendra , Parker Patricia , Schafer-McLean Rhonda , West Robert
Published: May 2022

Nearly 50% of women in the United States will experience urinary incontinence at some point during their lives. Urinary incontinence impacts multiple aspects of a woman’s life, yet remains underdiagnosed by primary care providers. The Women’s Preventative Service Initiative released a recommendation in 2018 to screen all women annually for urinary incontinence. The recommendation was in response to the lack of women who seek care for urinary incontinence.

The purpose of this project was to implement education and reminders for primary care providers, in order to improve urinary incontinence knowledge and assessment of women 18 years of age or older. The project was carried out in a primary care clinic with primary care providers serving as the participants.

A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was utilized. Data from a five question pre- and posttest were compared. An independent samples t-test, using a 95% confidence interval, was used to compare the pre- and posttest. Statistical significance (p-value

Results indicate primary care providers who are educated about urinary incontinence in women demonstrate improved knowledge and assessment of the prevalent problem. Early intervention can soften the economic burden, improve quality of life, and improve treatment outcomes. Implementation of a urinary incontinence education program coupled with reminders can improve primary care knowledge and clinical decisions regarding urinary incontinence in women.

This paper conducted an operational, economic analysis to assess alternative solutions to traffic congestion. They involved integrating adaptive traffic signal control (ATSC) with connected vehicle technology (ATSC-CV) and the application of various conventional and unconventional solutions. The studied conventional scenarios include signal timing optimization, signal actuation, and upgrading existing intersections to interchanges. There were unconventional scenarios involving converting two intersections to interchanges and the third to a continuous green-T intersection (CGTI). Different unconventional alternatives involved deploying ATSC-CV-based systems assuming varying market penetration rates (MPRs). The operational performance of each alternative was analyzed using VISSIM microsimulation software. To model the driving behavior of CVs, Python programming language was used through the COM interface in VISSIM. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc testing results indicate that implementing any suggested alternative would substantially decrease the mean vehicular travel time compared to the fixed signal control strategy currently implemented. Specifically, the ATSC-CVbased systems yielded notable travel time reductions ranging from 9.5% to 21.3%. Also, ANOVA results revealed that the highest benefit-to-cost ratio among all alternatives belonged to scenarios in which the MPRs of CVs were 100%. It was also found that ATSC-CV-based systems with MPRs of 25% and 50% would be as feasible as converting signalized intersections to underpass interchanges.

Se utilizan de forma conjunta tanto los argumentos que levantaban cualidades y características propias para el ejercicio de la historia de la ciencia en América Latina por parte de autores que aportaban historiográficamente, como el uso “programático” de documentación primaria, como una propuesta de superación de antiguas interpretaciones explicativas sobre el funcionamiento de las ciencias en países con tradición colonial. Ese movimiento se relacionó con los grandes cambios que ocurrirán en la historiografía de los estudios científicos en los años 1980 y 1990, principal período de circulación de la revista, época que transformó los artículos publicados en Quipu en documentación histórica que permite comprender la apropiación de los estudios de la ciencia en los países latinoamericanos de aquel período.
La España despechada: El cambio de soberanía en Puerto Rico desde la óptica de la prensa madrileña

Published: May 2022

El 18 de octubre de 1898 se arriaba por última vez la bandera del vencido imperio español que por casi 400 años había ondeado sobre el palacio de Santa Catalina en la colonia de Puerto Rico. En su lugar, se izaba por vez primera la bandera de un imperio naciente ante la mirada perpleja, pero esperanzada, de un pueblo que veía en los Estados Unidos las promesas de libertad, justicia y democracia. Mientras tanto, en Madrid, la prensa nacional parecía hacerse eco de una desilusión colectiva ante lo que ella consideraba una actitud de traición por parte de su pequeña y fiel colonia antillana. El presente artículo documenta y analiza las opiniones expresadas por parte de 10 diarios españoles durante los días previos y posteriores al cambio de soberanía en la isla de Puerto Rico. Además, el estudio compara y contrasta la representación hecha de los puertorriqueños con la que se hizo del pueblo cubano, unos meses más tarde, en momentos en que España cedía a Estados Unidos la última de sus posesiones en el nuevo mundo.

Este artículo aborda el tema de de la racionalización del mito de Eldorado en la Amazonía brasileña desde la perspectiva de dos viajeros: el folklorista y escritor José Viera Couto Magalhães y el militar y explorador británico Percy Harrison Fawcett. Estos personajes le dieron nuevos sentidos a los mitos, y nuevas materializaciones a los imaginarios sobre la región, participando del proceso de racionalización del territorio mediante la construcción de nuevas explicaciones para la mitología amazónica, basadas en la ciencia.

Blancura velada en las leyes constitucionales y ciudadanía de Honduras durante el siglo XIX
Authors:   Morgan State University, Baltimore, MD, United States, Lara Jose I
Published: May 2022

La raza siempre ha sido parte central de la regulación sobre las políticas de pertenencia y derechos constitucionales en Honduras. Este estudio demuestra cómo y por qué la ciudadanía en Honduras fue restrictiva en su naturaleza a la vez que basada en criterios raciales. Un análisis de los detalles y matices de las constituciones del siglo XIX revela que mientras los líderes gubernamentales blancos no referían a ningún grupo racial en particular en los documentos legislativos, si describían al ciudadano ideal implícitamente en términos raciales. Las cláusulas requeridas para la condición de ciudadano, incluida la de propiedad, moralidad y alfabetización, fueron construidas sobre conceptos históricamente racializados; nociones asociadas con las diferencias raciales, valores occidentales y la acumulación de privilegios basados en una suprecía blanca sistémica. Al delimitar la ciudadanía en esos términos, los líderes hondureños la caracterizaron como propia de blancos y usaron las leyes del Estado para excluir a la mayoría de los no europeos de su participación en el sistema de gobierno.

The study focusses on evaluating oil price movement and revenue generation in Nigeria with emphasis on the era of pre and post covid-19 pandemic. Measures such as crude oil price, domestic production, crude oil export and revenue, and revenue generation were assessed before, during and after covid-19 pandemic. The evidence shows that oil price and revenue generation were negatively affected during covid-19 pandemic era due to restriction on the movement of people and economic activities. Hence, the study further revealed a drastic fall in crude oil price and export, as well as domestic production (mbd) especially during the first quarter of 2020. While crude oil price appreciated slightly from June, the export and domestic production plummeted with a corresponding decrease in revenue generation which dropped deeply from $47 billion USD in 2019 to $8 billion USD in 2020. Further evaluation revealed that after the introduction of some measures by the government authorities, the Nigerian economic start to recover, which results to a slight improvement in crude oil price in December 2020, but later fell to 40.28 mbd in march 2021. Thus, other indicators such as domestic production and crude oil export has no sign of recovery between this period except for revenue generation which increases by $4 billion USD. Moreso, to control the aftermath of pandemic, we suggest for cohesive policy measures such as educating people on the benefits of covid-19 vaccines and proper enforcement on the use of facemask. In turn, this will reduce the spread and promote economic activities in Nigeria. In addition, policies that could regulate oil price movement should be initiated. Consequently, it may likely encourage increase in revenue generation in Nigeria.

The issue of sustaining performance in the Nigerian oil and gas sector is one issue that is of concern to the present government of President Muhammadu Buhari and is in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 of Clean Energy. The study examined the relationship between exchange rate fluctuations and Nigerian oil and gas sector performance with respect to achieving a sustainable economic growth. The three models used for the study are OBOP = f(OILE, OILI); OILO = f(EXR); and OILE = f(EXR). Secondary data were gathered and analyzed using the vector autoregression (VAR). The unit root test showed that all the variables were stationary at first difference while the Johansen cointegration proved the presence of a long run relationship among the variables in the model. The VAR result revealed that both oil export (OILE(-1)) and  oil imports (OILI(-1)) were significant both positively and negatively respectively with overall balance of payments (OBOP). Also, nominal exchange rate (EXR(-1)) was positively significant with OILE while EXR(-1) was negatively significant with OILO. The study therefore recommended amongst others that more refineries should be built in Nigeria, so more products are extracted from crude oil and can be exported to boost revenue.

Distributed generator has been confirmed to be a means by which installation of a new centralized generator can be delayed or postponed in the era of deregulation. It helps to minimize line losses and improve voltage profile. the benefits associated with distributed generator can be greatly harnessed when DG is optimally sited and sized within power system network. In this study, different methods used by previous researchers were extensively reviewed. The summary of the methodologies from previous works were itemized one after the other. This was done under the impact of distributed generator in a network. These methodologies are summaries under three categories namely; analytical, meta-heuristic and hybrid optimization methods. All the methods are based on solving non-linear load flow solution except the Inherent Structural Network Topology. In this review work, the inherent structural network topology is recommended for further studies to solve power system problems.

Sharp and persistent increases in oil prices continue to attract the attention of policy makers and economists, and many studies are conducted on the inflationary effects of oil price shocks. Knowledge of the inflationary effects of oil price increases will help monetary authorities adopt appropriate policies to meet these shocks. In this study, the asymmetric relationship between inflation rates and oil prices in the BRIC countries, which alone consumes approximately 28% of the world’s total oil consumption in 2020, has been examined. In this context, the relationship between the variables was investigated with the asymmetric causality analysis method developed by Hatemi-J and Roca (2014) using monthly data for the period January 2001 to September 2021. As a result of the analysis applied in the study, different results were obtained for the BRIC countries.

This paper examines the influence of Islamic stock price uncertainty on energy and gold commodity prices by using daily data from  September 25, 2014 to March 12, 2021. We employ thе MGАRCH-M mоdеl with DCC and BEKK approaches tо assess interrelationship selected series. Based on empirical estimations, we achieved the following results. Firstly,  empirical results from  MGАRCH–M mоdеl estimations Islamic stock price uncertainty have а significаnt positive effect оn energy and gold commodities price. Secondly, non-causality tests results bared bi-directional variance transmissions of Islamic stock prices and the conditional variations of energy and gold commodities prices. Finally, for the pre-pandemic periods, results of the GIRF analaysis provided that the innovation shоcks оf Islamic stock price returns have а negative effects оn energy and gold price uncertainty. Indeed, for the response of ongoing pandemic periods shows Islamic stock price returns have а negative interact оn commodities price volatility, except energy stock price.
Energy Poverty Clustering by Using Power-cut Job Order Data of the Electricity Distribution Companies

Published: May 2022

The identification of the population suffering from energy poverty, which is more visible after Covid-19 pandemic following by the 2021 energy crisis, is an essential requirement for producing systematic and sustainable solutions. Although European Union approaches to the problem with a multi-indicator sets; this indicator sets have a large amount of secure and almost unreachable data, such as identity information, wage information, health information, asset information (title deed, rental income), expenditure information, debt information, credit information, bank records, etc. Experienced two long term projects between 2014 and 2016 (problem definition for energy theft and the best practices searching 13 different country examples including Brazil, Hungary, India, etc.) and 2016–2018 (energy poverty set and consumption characteristics in Turkey) over 6 million end-user consumption and payment data brings us to confirm that. The primary indicator of energy poverty is the arrears on utility bills. The arrears resulting from the affordability problem of the energy consumed trigger a power cut-off job order in the utility company. This research examines the literature and country social assistance implementation data to see how an energy poverty level can be identified using details on arrears and powercut job orders. On this subject, power-cut job orders were constituted, because of arrears on utility bills, were subjected to statistical analysis, and the compatibility of the trend data with the socio-economic development index was investigated. Cities with a less indexes have more utility bill arrears in terms of both number and volume, according to correlation-test data. Urban cities are more visible in data since the non-urbanized cities have some energy theft activities which show us no efficiency target for the consumption! Hence one of the strategical step for decreasing the non-technical losses is having more registered customer, the relationship between the growth index and the number of customers is another intriguing finding. Separating the consumption levels of arrears, it is found that 63% of total non-payment is depending on 18% of consumers. Trend analysis confirmed that every energy consumption level has the absolute and fluctuated component inside. The number of people inside the absolute poverty cluster is coherent with national and international approaches almost in the same number. The findings revealed that arrears on utility bills can be used specifically to assess the population identified with energy dependency rather than relying on evidence from a variety of sources.
