Groundnut is an important oilseed crop in India which occupies first position in terms of area and second position in terms of production. The study was conducted in Banaskantha District of Gujarat state during 2018-19. The main focus of the investigation is on adoption of plant protection measures in groundnut crop by the farmers of Banaskantha district. The district was selected purposively as the area of groundnut is increasing day by day. Three talukas viz., Deesa, Lakhani and Dantiwada having higher area under groundnut cultivation were selected purposively (Anonymous 2018). Five villages were selected randomly from the list of groundnuts growing villages of each taluka. Ten groundnut growers were selected, randomly from each selected village. Thus, the final sample was 150 groundnut growers. Ex-post facto research design was used for the study. The data were collected by personal contact method with help of structured interview schedule and data were coded, classified, tabulated and analysed in the light of objectives. Ten independent and one dependent variable were selected for study. The independent variables viz., education, land holding, annual income, extension participation, source of information, and scientific orientation were positively and highly significantly associated with extent of adoption about plant protection measures. Risk orientation had positive and significant association with extent of adoption about plant protection measures. The remaining variables namely age and family size had negative and non-significant correlation, while social participation had positive and non-significant correlation with the extent of adoption about plant protection measures.

Published: August 2023

The present study has been carried out to know the perception of participant extension functionaries towards the SAMETI (State Agricultural Management and Extension Training Institute) training programmes. A list of trainees was obtained from SKUAST-K and three departments (department of Agriculture and department of Horticulture and department of Animal Husbandry) have been purposively selected for the study because the extension functionaries from only these departments have undergone training programmes. An ex-post facto design was adopted for the study and 110 extension functionaries were selected by proportional allocation method. The findings of the study revealed that majority (55.9%) of trainees from agriculture department, 65.7 per cent from horticulture department and 56.1 per cent from animal husbandry department were moderately satisfied with the training programmes. Also, 30 statements were used to check the level of satisfaction of trainees in different areas of trainings (viz., nature of the training programme, management of training programmes, content of training programmes, medium of instruction and usefulness of training programme) and the ranks of the statements were found. We can conclude that training programmes organized by SAMETI-Kashmir were very effective and participants were satisfied with the training programme.

The present study was conducted in the Amreli district of the Saurashtra region. Out of the eleven talukas, five talukas were randomly chosen for the study. One village was then randomly selected from each of the chosen talukas, and a total sample size of 75 farmers was taken, with fifteen farmers from each village. The study utilized an ex-post-facto research design and data was collected through surveys during the period of 2018-19. The findings of the study indicated that the majority of the farmers belonged to the middle to old age group and had attained primary to secondary education. They lived in small families and had low levels of social participation. The farmers mostly had low annual income levels and owned medium to small land holding. Additionally, most of the farmers were solely engaged in farming, had moderate access to sources of information, and displayed a high level of innovativeness. The study also revealed significant correlations between various factors and the respondents’ knowledge about the management practices of white grub in groundnut. Education (0.4225) and innovativeness (0.3711) were highly and significantly correlated at a probability level of 0.01. The source of information (0.2566) was found to be significantly correlated at a probability level of 0.05. However, occupation (-0.2245) showed a negative but significant correlation at a probability level of 0.05 with the respondents’ knowledge about the management practices of white grub in groundnut.

Published: August 2023

Soft tissue sarcoma and its histomorphological sub types is an important for both prognosis and treatment. It deserves an extensive research, as there are good published literature's on the incidence of soft tissue sarcoma in the western population, but there is paucity of data from Asia, particularly on the epidemiology specifically to Southern Asia. We analyzed the Data, collected from the surgical pathology files. This Retrospective study included all the diagnosed cases of soft tissue sarcoma, including gastrointestinal tumor presented during the 10-year period, from July 2008 to March 2019 (10 years, 9 months) and include all age groups. Cases were then characterized according to their histomorphological sub types, age, sex, and the site involved by the sarcoma. The cases where diagnosis was not confirmed like differential diagnosis are not considered and not included in this study. The data was analyzed in SPSS version 26. Total 305 diagnosed cases of soft tissue sarcoma, met our selection criteria. The result shows that the soft tissue sarcoma are increased on yearly basis with eminent male predilection. The most common presented soft tissue sarcoma is GIST, followed by synovial sarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, and high-grade sarcoma Nos, in order of preference. The high female predilection is noted for leiomyosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. Most of the soft tissue sarcoma are associated with adult age (25 to 64 year) with total number of n: 206 cases (67.5%) and the most common site is the lower limb. It is also observed that the least common incidence of soft tissue sarcoma is noted in the toddler age group (2-3 years).This study concluded that the risk of soft tissue sarcoma exist throughout the lifespan (infants to elderly age) and continuously increasing in numbers. The adult age group followed by elderly age and male predominance are at high risk. However, the frequency of rhabdomyosarcoma is commonly seen in childhood.

Authors: Choez Zabala Jennifer Daniela , Cardenas Heredia Freddy Rosendo
Published: August 2023

El trabajo de parto, es la etapa final del embarazo, su importancia es crear el vínculo con el recién nacido. Para la madre es una experiencia muy importante que, a más de traer a la vida a un niño, la prepara para su cuidado. Sin embargo, durante este proceso, en sus diferentes etapas puede traer consecuencias serias en la madre como en el niño que si no son controladas puede tener efectos complejos a corto plazo como la depresión postparto, el estrés postparto y a largo plazo como el deterioro cognitivo con efecto directo sobre el recién nacido. Es un estudio de revisión bibliográfica tipo narrativa, una revisión amplia de la literatura, sobre las ventajas del parto humanizado en mujeres gestantes en Latinoamérica en bases de datos científicas, como Pub Med, Scielo, Biblioteca Cochrane, y Science Direct, mediante parte de la estrategia PRISMA. El parto humanizado favorece el vínculo materno y disminuye las complicaciones como la   postparto, al igual que la morbimortalidad infantil. A pesar de sus ventajas, todavía es necesario cumplir con las políticas planteadas de humanización del parto, puesto que se ha evidenciado prevalencia alta de parto no humanizado en Latinoamérica. Se concluye que la atención del parto humanizado desde la preconcepción y debe estar fundamentada en la evidencia científica, regionalizada, multidisciplinaria, integral, centrada en las familias, apropiada culturalmente, respetuosa de las decisiones de las mujeres, así como de su privacidad, confidencialidad y dignidad.
Assessing the Efficacy of Mitoxantrone and Doxorubicin as Frontline Anthracyclines During Induction Therapy of Newly Diagnosed Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
Authors: Jaime-Pérez José C. , Ramos-Dávila Eugenia M. , Meléndez-Flores Jesús D. , González-Treviño Mariana , Gómez-Almaguer David
Published: August 2023

Background:

Therapeutic advances in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) have transformed it into today's most curable form of leukemia. However, recommended agents, including arsenic trioxide, idarubicin, or daunorubicin, are not easily available in low-middle-income countries, where outcomes remain suboptimal. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of more accessible anthracyclines.

Methods:

We conducted a retrospective cohort study including sixty-one patients diagnosed with APL over a 15-year period. Patients received low-dose all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA, 25 mg/m2) with mitoxantrone or doxorubicin as an induction to remission therapy. Groups were compared using the χ2 and Student's t-tests. Kaplan–Meier analysis was used for survival analyses.

Results:

Thirty (49.18%) patients received mitoxantrone, and 31 (50.82%) received doxorubicin. The median follow-up was 24.6 months (1–146). Twenty-eight (93.3%) patients achieved complete remission (CR) in the mitoxantrone group and 28 (87.1%) in the doxorubicin group (p = 0.103), and the median time to CR was 40 and 31 days, respectively. Mitoxantrone had a 6.7% early mortality rate and a 16.7% relapse rate compared with doxorubicin (3.2% and 32.3%, respectively). No differences were found in survival (p = 0.795), hospitalization days (p = 0.261), or adverse events (p = 0.554).

Conclusions:

Using mitoxantrone or doxorubicin as induction therapy in newly diagnosed APL is a safe and adequate alternative with comparable outcomes to first-line agents in scenarios where the latter might not be readily available, such as in low-middle-income countries.
Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of Intraluminal Brachytherapy vs Isolated Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage with internalization for Unresectable Malignant Biliary Obstruction: A Prospective Observational Study
Authors: Sood Shikha , Alexander John V. , Gupta Manish , Chauhan Ashish
Published: August 2023

Background and objectives:

Intraluminal therapies, including brachytherapy, can locally destroy obstructing tumors and increase the duration of catheter/stent patency in patients with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). In this prospective observational study, the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) followed by HDR intraluminal brachytherapy (ILBT) in the palliative treatment of malignant biliary obstruction was evaluated.

Patients and methods:

In total, 66 MBO patients (January 2021 to March 2022) who were unfit for alternate treatment modalities were enrolled in our study and underwent percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) with internalization. Additionally, 11 patients underwent subsequent ILBT, which was administered over two sessions (800 cGy each session, one week apart) with iridium-192 prescribed at 1.5 cm from the central axis of the catheter via a percutaneous biliary catheter. The second session was followed up by endoluminal stenting in the same sitting. Patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status <4 and a 50% decline in bilirubin/<5 mg/dL on day 10 after PTBD were selected for ILBT. The biliary stent/catheter patency period, survival duration, mean bilirubin level (mg/dL) decline, and incidence of complications were evaluated.

Results:

Among the sixty-six patients included and classified into ILBT or PTBD-only groups, the median survival period for the ILBT group vs PTBD group was 172 (84.5–273.5) days vs 45 (30.75–83) days (p ≤ 0.0001) with an overall survival (OS) at 6 months of 62.34% vs 3.64% (p ≤ 0.0001). The stent/catheter patency period of the ILBT group in comparison to the PTBD group was 172 (83–273.5) days vs 30 (20–42.5) days (p ≤ 0.0001). No major treatment-related complications were observed in any of the patients.

Conclusions:

ILBT with stenting is a safe option for improving stent patency and survival duration with minimal complications with the condition that patients are carefully selected.

Published: August 2023

Background:

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including ruxolitinib, imatinib, and ibrutinib, have shown promising efficacy in cGVHD treatment.

Method:

A total of 43 patients who developed cGVHD and received at least one line of TKI therapy for cGVHD treatment were evaluated retrospectively. The overall response, clinical benefit (CB), corticosteroid dose reduction, failure-free survival (FFS), and overall survival (OS) were assessed.

Result:

A total of 62 lines of TKI therapy were evaluated, including ruxolitinib (n = 18), ibrutinib (n = 13), and imatinib (n = 31). With a 12-month median follow-up duration, 19/58 (32.8%), 20/41 (48.7%), and 17/29 (58.6%) responded to TKI therapy at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. The CB was observed in 80% of patients over time, allowing prednisone dose reduction in all 3 TKIs. The FFS rate at 12 months was higher in the imatinib (71%) and ruxolitinib groups (67%) than in the ibrutinib group (46%), while the OS rate at 12 months was similar among the three groups at 96%–100% in patients. In the sclerotic GVHD patient subgroup (n = 39), the overall response rate gradually increased over time. Ruxolitinib appeared to be as effective as imatinib and gradually improved the photographic range of motion score in sclerotic GVHD patients.

Conclusion:

TKI drugs ruxolitinib, imatinib, and Ibrutinib are effective and feasible for cGVHD treatment. Ruxolitinib is as effective as imatinib for sclerotic GVHD.

Published: August 2023

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been considered curative for children with high-risk acute leukemia (ALL), offering better survival. Short tandem repeat has been used as a marker of chimerism status after HSCT. The appearance of recipient cells >1% post-allogeneic stem cell transplant is defined as mixed chimerism (MC). Chimeric studies post-HSCT are dynamic. This study aimed to investigate the significance of recipient cells in post- HSCT pediatric ALL patients as a predictor of relapse of their primary disease. The rate of MC was 51.4% (19 out of 37 recipients). It was 48.6% (n = 18) during Day+100 and 12.9% (4 out of 31 recipients) during post-Day+100 follow-up until two years. No significant association was noted between MC and all grade overall acute graft-versus-host disease. A mortality rate of 35.1% (n = 13) and a median follow-up of 56.9 months (95% CI: 39.7–74.2) were observed for all but four (16.7%) of the survivors in remission. Regarding causes of death, transplant-related mortality was recorded in only 2 of 13 expired patients (15.4%); both succumbed to sepsis. No significant association was found between MC and primary causes of death. The cumulative probability of five-year overall survival and event-free survival was not found to be statistically significantly different for MC (≤1.0% vs. > 1.0%). In conclusion, our data did not show MC testing alone as an effective prognostic marker for detecting relapse; molecular and flow cytometric analyses should be considered in children with ALL post-HSCT for monitoring relapse.

Published: August 2023

The primary objective of this research is to assess Learners' Autonomy by implementing Experiential Learning in a role-play activity among class 8 elementary students at a private-sector English Medium School. Experiential Learning, which is a learner-friendly approach, has not been extensively explored at the fundamental level. However, its importance, often referred to as "learning by doing" or "hands-on approaches," has been acknowledged in various writings and research. Over time, Experiential Learning has gained popularity among adult learners and is considered crucial in educational institutions. To conduct this study, a thorough review of the literature was conducted, leading to the development of a hypothesis. The research strategy involved the use of a survey, and the study's population comprised students from elementary private schools in Karachi. A straightforward random sampling design was adopted, resulting in a sample size of 118 students as participants. For data collection, two questionnaires were employed: the Experiential Learning Scale (ELS) by Clem and Beasley, and the Learner Autonomous Scale (LAS) by Fletcher and Averill. The data was then analyzed using SPSS, with inferential statistics, correlation, and linear regression methods. The findings revealed a strong correlation between the variables (EL) and (LA). Moreover, at a significance level of 0.05, the overall relationship between all Experiential Learning and Learner Autonomous categories was determined to be moderate. Based on the overall linear regression model, instructors and practitioners are encouraged to incorporate Experiential Learning into their teaching methodologies. Additionally, the study suggests further exploration of the concept of Autonomous Learning through this process, and proposes a comparative study to assess how this approach influences students' engagement in various curricula.

Authors: Lita Lita , Hidayanti Maria , Rosidah Ani
Published: August 2023

This research is motivated by the issue indicating the low development of gross motor skills in early childhood at the Siti Khodijah Majalengka Playgroup. This is manifested by several children who have not been able to efficiently coordinate body movements to train flexibility, balance, and agility. Additionally, the children have not been able to coordinate eye-hand-foot-head movements when imitating dances and gymnastics, and they are still unskilled in using their right and left hands. The research method employed in this study is pre-experimental. The research population consists of 30 students, with a sample size of 15 students. The results of the research demonstrate that there is an improvement in the gross motor skill development of students after implementing the outbound kids' game. This is further reinforced by the analysis using descriptive statistics, which indicates a positive change in the gross motor skill development of the students. Furthermore, the analysis using inferential statistics also reveals a significant difference between the average pretest and posttest scores of the students. Thus, it can be concluded that the outbound kids' game has a positive impact on enhancing the gross motor skill development of children at the Siti Khodijah Majalengka Playgroup.

While there have been tremendous advancements in HIV prevention, treatment, research, and care, vast health disparities still exist across race and ethnicity, as Black and Latinx people continue to have disproportionate rates of new HIV cases. Despite this fact, funding toward and implementation of policies that meet the needs of most impacted communities are virtually non-existent. Moreover, meaningful and impactful discussions about HIV have always required analyzing interlocking systems of privilege and oppression. Thus, in 2017, a group of scholars and activists of color developed HIV Racial Justice Now!, a nationwide grassroots coalition dedicated to advancing a racially just framework for the domestic HIV epidemic. In addition to developing The Declaration, a framework that can be used to push for racial liberation, HRJN disrupts traditional notions of HIV rhetoric, racial justice, and public memory by decentering whiteness in the domestic HIV movement.
Demokratische Streitkultur in Zeiten politischer Polarisierung
Authors: Detjen Joachim
Published: August 2023

In recent years, the need to reflect on the conditions for a culture of debate that promotes democracy has become virulent in Germany. There are signs that a moderate pluralism has developed into a polarized one in this country. As a result, the climate of debate deteriorated and the willingness to accept dissenters and to argue with them in a civilized manner declined on the political fringes. The book highlights the diverse aspects of political disputes and political polarization and develops ideas about what characterizes a democratic culture of disputes and what attitudes people need to adopt in order to argue constructively. Finally, it touches on the question of what contribution educational processes can make to shaping argument competence.
Religiös-weltanschauliche Neutralität
Authors: Czermak Gerhard
Published: August 2023

Die Bedeutung der religiös-weltanschaulichen Neutralität (Unparteilichkeit) des Staats, eines Eckpfeilers des Religionsverfassungsrechts, ist erstaunlicherweise immer noch sehr umstritten und wird vielfach missachtet. Der Band reduziert den bisher überfrachteten Neutralitätsbegriff auf Rechtsgleichheit und Nichtidentifikation, wobei er die strikte Einhaltung des Verbots selbst geringer einseitiger religiös-weltanschaulicher Beeinflussung fordert. Er erörtert in kritischer Sicht das Verhältnis von trennenden und kooperativen Aspekten des Grundgesetzes sowie zahlreiche Einzelfragen wie offene und distanzierende oder Begründungs- und Wirkungsneutralität. Diese oft diffizilen Fragen seien bereichsbezogen im Vorfeld der Entscheidung zu klären. Die Schlussentscheidung über die Einhaltung der Gleichheits-Rechtsregel unter Berücksichtigung all dieser auch flexiblen Aspekte ist dann endgültig. Entweder ist eine Entscheidung oder Norm neutral oder nicht. Neutralität ist nicht nur ein objektives Verfassungsprinzip, das wie etwa das Sozialstaatsprinzip nur eine allgemeine Leitlinie darstellt, sondern als Gleichheitsbegriff eine an das Grundgesetz angebundene Rechtsregel (Norm).
Das Leiden an der verrinnenden Zeit
Authors: Bozzaro Claudia
Published: August 2023

›Leiden an der Zeit‹ ist Teil der conditio humana: als Erleben einer negativen Gegenwart (wie im Schmerz), als Leiden an der stillstehenden Zeit (wie in psychischen Erkrankungen), als Leiden an der endenden und endgültigen Zeit (wie im Altern). Die vorliegende Arbeit leistet nicht nur eine Typologie verschiedener Formen des Leidens an der Zeit, sondern hebt eine Form hervor, die gerade aktuell eine besondere Herausforderung darstellt: das 'Leiden an der verrinnenden Zeit'. Nach der Untersuchung unterschiedlicher Verdrängungsmechanismen, derer man sich bedient, um diesem Leiden zu entgehen, zeigt das Buch, dass gerade das 'Verrinnen der eigenen Zeit' das formale ethische Prinzip ist, dem sich jeder Mensch stellen muss. Als solches kann es sogar zum Schlüssel für ein gelingendes Leben werden.
Kritik der symbolischen Formen I
Authors: Steineck Raji C.
Published: August 2023

Eine multipolare Welt mit globalem Austausch von Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Kultur benötigt mehr denn je die Reflexion durch eine entsprechend informierte Philosophie. Ernst Cassirers (1874–1945) ›Philosophie der symbolischen Formen‹ stellt dazu Grundlagen bereit, die aber der Kritik und Weiterentwicklung bedürfen. Genau dies geschieht im vorliegenden Band im Ausgriff auf alternative philosophische Ansätze sowie im Licht japanischer Quellen. Symbolische Form und Funktion erweisen sich als Schlüsselbegriffe, mit denen sich alte und neue, bekannte und fremde Formen der Kultur in ihrer wechselseitigen Verflechtung und Abhängigkeit kritisch verstehen lassen.
Calquing within Language and Subject-Calque as Forms of Transhumanist Irresponsibility
Authors: Rodin I.
Published: August 2023

In the proposed article I will address the issue of calquing in the Russian language from a philosophical/psychoanalytical point of view and from that of algorithmization/ cybernetization of the human culture. I will touch upon the problem of interrelationship between body and language, which underlie subjectivity and transform in space and over time. I will try to highlight structural characteristics indicative of subject’s transition to another, post-anthropological quality “by means of” calquing of one’s mother tongue. Corporate culture and the consumption of popular translated literature in a simplified language and dubbed mainstream films keep diminishing expectations from an individual in relation to his mother tongue and, hence, to one’s personality as such, while making the latter giving up on “baroque extravagances” and shifting one’s symbolic reference points from within the philology of one’s mother tongue and canonical cultural texts to a utopian “arithmetic mean” of sense-production which eliminates the idiosyncratic space of language as that which opposes translation and comprises the core of culture. On the one hand, language turns into a rudiment, a dead load, while on the other hand — into an instrument of an alienated labor of information exchange, while representing a fundamental cultural phenomenon the problematics and meaning of which I will debate here. In an attempt of exposing the symptoms of subject-calque having lost organic touch with the mother tongue and the living speech, I will turn to Jacques Lacan’s comments on the phenomenon of delusion, as well as to Boris Groys’ thoughts regarding the linguistic pathologies emerging as a result of contemporary subject’s dealing with the search engine Google.

Old Age, Gender and Constructions of the Contemporary
Authors: Adiseshiah Siân
Published: August 2023

This article argues that older people – by virtue (at least in part) of their association with the past – lack visibility in dominant conceptions of the contemporary. With its (neo-) modernist emphasis on the innovative new, ‘the contemporary’ – as a descriptor of the present – aligns, prejudicially, with youth. The contemporary as category or concept is frequently discussed in metaphorical terms that align it with early phases of the life course. Within this frame older women are particularly troublesome to the discourse of the contemporary, wherein they represent a blockage in the flow of futurity. After offering a theorisation of the ways in which contemporary operates in these terms, the article concludes by considering two texts – a film, Michael Haneke’s Amour (2012), and a play, debbie tucker green’s generations (2005) – both of which craft encounters with narratives of old age and gender, and are commonly regarded as ‘contemporary’ according to the terms outlined.

The sample of this study is 12 market indexes during the observed period 24 October 2022 to 28 April 2023. This study finds that several market indices experienced an increase and several market indices also experienced a decrease when interest rates were at their highest levels. Other important findings also show that changes in interest rates tend not to have a significant impact on market indices, especially during the observation period of this study. Throughout the observation period, consistently, this study finds that the non-primary consumer goods sector consistently did not correlate with the health sector, the financial sector consistently did not correlate with the health sector, and the health sector consistently did not correlate with the technology sector.

Este artigo tem como foco principal a problemática das fake news e sua relação com os Direitos Humanos. O objetivo foi analisar e discutir o atual problema das notícias falsas, conhecidas como Fake News, no contexto da democracia e dos Direitos Humanos, tendo como base as contribuições teóricas de Norberto Bobbio (1909-2004). Após identificar o problema e estabelecer o objetivo, foi apresentada uma perspectiva sobre a democracia segundo Bobbio, a fim de investigar em que medida a propagação de notícias falsas representa um risco para a democracia e também constitui uma violação aos Direitos Humanos. Para isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica abrangendo a produção científica de Bobbio. Concluiu-se que as Fake News, ao distorcerem a autodeterminação dos indivíduos, violam o direito à informação e, por consequência, os Direitos Humanos. Nesse sentido, ressaltou-se a importância de compreender e combater efetivamente esse fenômeno, a fim de preservar os fundamentos democráticos e garantir a proteção dos Direitos Humanos.

Desa Bahu Palawa, Kec.Kahayan Tengah, Kab. Pulang Pisau memiliki daya tarik dan potensi alam yang sangat baik, kekayaan heritage, budaya dan adat masyarakat lokal, yang menarik untuk dikunjungi seperti halnya Sungai Tambak. Namun, potensi ini tidak seimbang dikarenakan sulitnya akomodasi, promosi, kurangnya kelompok sadar wisata, menyebabkan banyak bangunan yang bernilai wisata tidak dikelola dengan baik dan memiliki kekuatan wisata yang lemah, sehingga menyebabkan akses tujuan wisata terhambat. Untuk itu, perlunya sosialisasi yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman, pengetahuan serta keterampilan mengelola potensi desa wisata melalui  protokol berbasis cleanliness, health, safety, dan environment (CHSE) sebagai norma baru pola adaptasi pasca pandemi diharapkan mampu mengakomodasi dalam pengelolaan pariwisata.

Authors:   United Nations Environment Programme
Published: August 2023

The IWR 2023 undertakes a comprehensive global assessment of the inclusive wealth of 163 countries for 1990–20191. Following previous iterations (United Nations University International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change [UNU-IHDP] and UNEP 2012; UNU-IHDP and UNEP 2014; Managi and Kumar 2018), the IWR 2023 adds an explicit focus on the nexus between inequalities and natural assets, highlighting that the loss of nature negatively impacts rural and poor communities in developing countries most directly and most acutely. The report highlights how inclusive wealth—incorporating natural, human and produced capital—is a sophisticated yet streamlined measure for assessing national and global development and economic progress.
