Authors: Tiran Rex , Muskanan Frans W. , Ndoda Philips Y. N. , Sinu Ambrosius Dedi A.
Published: February 2024

This study focuses on the governance of non-extractive natural resources on the Nemberala coast. More specifically, this study aims to trace the access mechanism and power relations of foreign capitalists and the government in the development of resorts, villas and cafes in the Nemberala coastal area, Rote Ndao Regency as a means of supporting tourism and what the implications are for local communities. This study uses two access mechanism approaches, Nency Peluso's Access theory (1992) and Nanang's (2021) elements of political analysis of natural resources as units of analysis. This study uses a single case study strategy with a qualitative inductive research approach. This study found that discourse and material power can change the composition of power and values ​​in an area in the form of domination as an exercise of power. Apart from that, this study found that material power operates at a closed spatial level so that in the land acquisition process on the Nemberala coast unconstitutional practices occur. The study of natural resource governance shows that there are three key actors in the governance of Nemberala's coastal natural resources, namely the government, foreign capitalists and land-owning communities. On the other hand, capitalization, privatization and commodification arise due to the globalization of the tourism market or the internationalization of tourism. Placing tourism in the capitalist space means that natural resource management will discuss who gets what, where it gets it, and how it gets it.

Cooperation of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office with third countries, in particular the Swiss Confederation
Authors: Balázs Márton
Published: February 2024

The 1959 European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters under the auspices of the Council of Europe is a treaty which has a significant impact on the cooperation in criminal matters of the European states. Judicial authorities are the most important channels ofsuch a cooperation. However, it is legally uncertain whether the European Public Prosecutor’s Office as an independent body of the European Union may enterinto a direct cooperation with third countries under the 1959 Convention. According to the legal interpretation by the Swiss Confederation, the recognition of the European Public Prosecutor’sOffice as a judicial authority,therefore its direct participation in the inter-state relations aiming criminal cooperation is unacceptable due to the fact that the contracting parties of the 1959 Convention are states, neither the European Union nor the European Public Prosecutor’s Office are contracting parties. This confirms the hypothesis that the re-opening of those agreements concluded on the basis of public international law may be unavoidable when third countries intend to establish a direct cooperation with the European Public Prosecutor’s Office in criminal matters.
Az európai unió hatáskörei az egészséghez való jog, egészségügyi ellátások területén: Úton az európai egészségügyi unió felé?
Authors: Kovács György
Published: February 2024

Az Európai Unió a közegészségügy területén jelentkező közös biztonsági kockázatok EU-t érintő vonatkozásai tekintetében megosztott hatáskörrel rendelkezik [EUMSZ 4. cikk (2) bekezdés k) pontja]. Általánosságban ugyanakkor, az emberi egészség védelme és javítása körében a tagállamok rendelkeznek hatáskörrel és ehhez képest az Unió mindössze kiegészítő, támogató, koordináló hatáskörrel rendelkezik.1 Az EUMSZ ugyancsak előírja, hogy valamennyi uniós politika és tevékenység meghatározása és védelme során biztosítani kell az emberi egészségvédelem magas szintjét,2 amely rendelkezés megegyezik az Alapjogi Karta 35. cikkével. Ezen relatíve szűken meghatározott hatáskörökhöz képest az utóbbi években azt figyelhettük meg, hogy az egészséghez való jog területén megnövekedett az Európai Unió jogalkotásának a hatása a tagállamok egészségügyi rendszereire, nemcsak a belső piaci jogalkotás, illetve a közös biztonsági kockázatokkal kapcsolatosjogalkotássorán, hanem az új típusú fiskális uniós hatáskörökkel összefüggésben történt jogalkotás révén is. Jelen tanulmányban azt vizsgáljuk, hogy az uniós jogalkotás milyen eszközökkel van hatással a tagállamok egészségügyi ellátórendszereire és ehhez képest milyen további fejlődési lehetőségek állnak nyitva az uniós jog számára az egészségügyi ellátáshoz való jog területén.

Behavioral Biases Influencing Individual Investors
Decision Making in Bearish Trend at Nepse
Authors: Anshu Pandey
Published: February 2024

The discipline of financial economics has seen a paradigm shift over the past 25 years, moving from traditional finance to a new area of the study known as behavioral finance. Due to a multitude of behavioral biases and emotional attachments, professional investors make bad financial decisions that hinder their investing performance. Due to the increase in individual investors over the past several years, which is predicted to continue in the years to come, the problem of behavioral biases may become more and more important. Overconfidence bias, representativeness bias, disposition bias, loss aversion bias, herding bias and market factors are the independent variables, whereas investment decision making is the dependent variable. Questionnaires were used to collect primary data. 200investors were sampled using the convenience sampling technique, and data obtained was subjected to regression analysis. The SPSS was used to analyze data collected in order to generate descriptive statistics for the study. The extent to which the dependent variables could be explained by the independent variable was described using regression analysis. The study thus suggests that individual investors be educated how to avoid poor investment outcomes caused on by behavioral biases. Furthermore, individual investors should seek the advice of stock brokers/fund managers to guide them accordingly in terms of performance of a specific security in which an investor would wish to invest in.
Export-Led Growth in Bangladesh: A Functional Impact Analysis of Export Performance and its Contribution
Authors: Ahmed Sarker Tanvir
Published: February 2024

Bangladesh has a significant opportunity to boost economic development by increasing its contributions to international trade. Therefore, this study is aimed at presenting the trends of exporting in the early stages of economic development. Bangladesh's foreign trade trends from 2015 to 2019 revealed a positive growth trajectory despite a slight dip in goods imports. The anticipated decline in foreign trade performance in 2020 is reflective of the global challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the rate of receiving foreign exchange from the integrated foreign export of shrimp, leather, shoes, and pharmaceutical products is constantly increasing. The main exports, encompassing products like clothing, raw jute, leather, fish, and frozen seafood, play a vital role in driving the country's export dynamics. The country has achieved remarkable success in export expansion because of the RMG industry. It was found that total exports of goods rose to 37.94 billion U.S. dollars in 2019. However, the subsequent recovery in 2021 is evident, with notable growth in both imports and exports. Despite a persistently negative trade balance, the resilience showcased by Bangladesh in the face of challenges underscores its ability to rebound and adapt to changing circumstances.

This paper aims to analyze the quality of financial accounting information of public higher education institutions with financial autonomy in the Republic of Moldova and its dependence on their financial autonomy. For this purpose, financial statements and other relevant information available on the websites of public universities with financial autonomy in the Republic of Moldova were analysed. The analysis focused on the following research questions: i) is the quality of the information ensured in terms of the regulatory framework and user requirements? ii) is the quality of the information ensured in terms of the requirements of the regulatory framework and user requirements? iii) Is the quality of information related to the financial autonomy of universities? iiii) How can the enhancement of financial autonomy influence the quality of information? The results show that public higher education institutions with financial autonomy ignore the requirements of the regulatory framework on financial reporting and publication of financial statements, head's report and auditor's report on their websites. As a result, users do not have access to financial and accounting information and their conclusions and decisions may be distorted and unjustified. To rectify this, the financial management of the institution needs to be strengthened and all the opportunities afforded by its financial autonomy must be used. At the same time, this research depicts through bibliometric analysis scientific productivity, impact of scientific research, trending topics, and others. Thus, the methodological tools characteristic of the social sciences, quantitative and qualitative methods, were used to carry out the scientific approach.

Authors: Cerveira Ricardo , Do Prado Nágela Bianca , Da Cunha Christiano França
Published: February 2024

Worldwide, Payment for Environmental Services (PES) programs have become a popular economic incentive strategy for environmental conservation. As they are considered recently new policies, the evaluation models of these programs are still incipient and require research in the area. Simultaneously, this study sought to understand, through a systematic review of the literature, how the literature has reported the methods of evaluating projects in PES in the light of the Theory of Change (ToC). Based on the analysis of 22 scientific documents, it was identified that the reports related to the theme are still recent in the literature and very concentrated in the rural area. It was also clear the diversity of PES objectives that go beyond the issue of environmental conservation and encompass the social sphere. The survey also identified many studies that permeate developing countries, where PES schemes contribute to socioeconomic development. Regarding ToC, it was noticed that this theory is closely linked to sustainable development and is strongly linked to the issue of measuring the efficiency of projects. Still, the existing PES project evaluation models are disparate and diverse and very much based on qualitative analysis, suggesting the need to quantify measurement data for such schemes to detect the possible impacts of the adoption of a scheme and its counterfactual impact in the socio-environmental environment.

Authors: Do Nascimento Maiara Leticia Libâneo , Ruivo Nátalie Christine de Carvalho , Tancredo Mércia
Published: February 2024

Cancer, the second leading cause of death in Brazil, results from uncontrolled cell growth due to dietary choices or organic alterations affecting nutrition. Colorectal cancer affects the large intestine, manifesting as polyps that slowly develop on the intestinal wall, often associated with diets rich in red meats, processed foods, and saturated fats. A healthy diet, exercise, and a balanced lifestyle are fundamental preventive measures against cancer, emphasizing the importance of adopting healthy habits. This study aims to conduct a literature review to assess the relationship between the consumption of processed foods rich in nitrosamines and the development of colorectal cancer. This research involves a bibliographic review with searches in scientific databases such as Bireme, Lilacs, SciELO, PubMed, and Google Scholar covering the years from 2007 to 2017 with bibliographic updates between 2018 and 2023. Predominantly, articles focusing on cancer and antioxidants were highlighted in the review. From this review, it can be concluded that processed and convenience foods significantly contribute to various health complications due to their excessive amounts of salt and chemical additives. However, simple lifestyle modifications, such as adopting a balanced and adequate diet, avoiding the consumption of readily prepared products, along with regular physical activity, can significantly improve overall quality of life and health.

Published: February 2024

Among the available proteins, fish is the most consumed on the planet, with ample space for negotiations in the world. In this sense, aquaculture represents a possibility to meet the growing world demand for food and has presented successive expansion in its annual production. In Brazil, the growth of aquaculture production still does not follow the rest of the world, despite its potential due to water availability and favorable climate. The objective of the study is to analyze the possibilities of promotion for the development, technological modernization and expansion of aquaculture in the country from resources coming from the Safra Plan. The methodology is a bibliographical review, based on the analysis of articles, scientific works and official databases of the Federal Government, to verify if the resources made available by the Safra Plan to finance aquaculture have enabled the growth of production of this activity. of cultivation in the country. The results indicate that the granting of credit has increased for aquaculture and fishing, in the same way, there have been advances in production in the sector. However, this policy of financial incentive to the aquaculture sector must be associated with other initiatives to increase the participation of fish in the market.

Methodologically, the research has a qualitative approach, and the corpus consists of a prototypical composition of the selection exam. The results confirm the importance of the teaching process and the school as spaces for the development of argumentative action in the most varied discursive practices. Regarding the text plan, we observed the influence of the ENEM writing, mainly, in the conclusion of the analyzed text, considering that the strategy is the inclusion of the thesis resumption and the intervention proposals, in general.
Education, skills and the labor market: discursive functioning
Authors: Pereira Diego Henrique , Antunes Lucas Gambogi , Silva Letícia Souza Santos
Published: February 2024

Society structurally associates physical disability with inability and even disability, a prejudice that arises solely because of deviation from standards defined as “normal.” What is initially visible is the pseudo-fit between body and functionality, that is, the ability of the physical body to perform activities that are considered normal in a society that values production - speed, investment in quality, performance. However, the present study attempted to examine bibliographically in the light of discourse analysis the relationship between subject - education - labor market, with the discursive relationships about ability discrimination serving as cornerstones that reproduce the imaginary about lack, disability, whether physical or not. An important discursive functioning between education and the labor market can be observed in the conditions of the daily production of a person with a disability, who is excluded from the social environment, is constituted as a subject because of the disability and suffers silence about what goes beyond it Disability, that is, attributes such as competence are disregarded through the practice of structural prejudice. Therefore, this article will provide within its pages possible answers to the question: what is the relationship between education, the labor market and the constitution of the subject, given the functioning of a society that reproduces ableist discourse?

LEGISLATION CONCEPT OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE TOWARDS A CHILD IN THE ACTS AND THE QANUN JINAYAT
Authors: Kuncoro Wahyu , Husni  , Effendi  , Gaussyah M
Published: February 2024

Background: The investigation of cases of sexual violence against children under Article 133 of Act Number 11 of 2006 is entrusted to the investigation of Wilyatul Hisbah. As a result, there is dualism in the investigation and inquiry process for sexual harassment cases, as both the Police Investigations and the Wilyatul Hisbah Investigation have the authority to conduct investigations. This is due to the provisions stated in Article 133 of Act Number 11 of 2006 and Article 1 (1) of the Indonesian Criminal Code, which allow for the involvement of two institutions in investigating criminal cases in Aceh, including sexual violence such as rape. The provision indicates a situation where the authority of the two institutions overlaps.
 
Objective: To examine and analyze the legal framework surrounding sexual assault, with a specific focus on addressing the issue of dual investigative power in cases involving child sexual abuse in Aceh.
 
Theoretical framework: The regulation of sexual violence against children is governed at the national level by Act Number 35 of 2014; however, in Aceh, it is regulated specifically under Article 47 of the Qanun Jinayat. The Child Protection Act provides a more comprehensive framework for addressing sexual violence, encompassing measures such as imposing penalties and eliminating sentences for educators and residents. The investigation process for cases of sexual violence in Aceh involves two authorized agencies: the police detective and the Hisbah Wilyatul investigator. This dualistic approach allows for a comprehensive inquiry and ensures that all aspects of the case are thoroughly examined. The existence of dualism arises from the provisions outlined in Article 133 of the Government of Aceh Act, which grants each entity the power to independently investigate allegations of sexual violence. To eliminate the duality of authority, it is necessary to achieve harmonization of the legal regulations, specifically the Acts of the Government of Aceh, the Police, and the Jinayat.
 
Method: This study employs a normative jurisprudential research methodology, specifically utilizing the legislative-regulatory approach.
VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT PARADIGMS AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION IN POST-REFORMATION INDONESIA
Authors: Sutopo Dhanny S. , Musta'in Maryunani
Published: February 2024

Objective: The paradigm of village development in Indonesia, which has been put into practice since the reformation era in 1998, has generated three laws that underlie village governance systems: Law No. 22 in 1999, Law No. 32 in 2004, and Law No. 6 in 2014.
 
Method: This descriptive-qualitative study explores the conceptual understanding of village development in Indonesia using secondary data from laws, regulations, and research. Kuhn's thinking is used to interpret the paradigm underlying the development system, spanning from the reformation era to the present.
 
Results: This study reviews the paradigm from the perspective of Thomas Kuhn, who sees the truth from a scientific perspective in the context of Indonesian governance. The findings show that Law No. 22 of 1999 and Law No. 32 of 2004 are built upon political and governmental sciences, highlighting a paradigm shift from centralization to decentralization. Village management and regulatory systems then lie between central and regional governments, which influences its development. Furthermore, Law No. 6 of 2014 positions villages in an exclusive regulatory system with changing sociocultural and economic dimensions but retains pre-existing political and governmental dimensions. In other words, village regulatory systems are not based on radical paradigms.
 
Conclusion: The existing paradigm cannot be abandoned, and new ideas about villages need to be developed. To truly demonstrate autonomy, laws must be released from the previous paradigm and establish a new scientific basis.
ChatGPT: A Pilot Study on a Promising Tool for Mental Health Support in Psychiatric Inpatient Care
Authors: Melo Antonio , Silva Inês , Lopes Joana
Published: February 2024

Introduction

This pilot study assesses ChatGPT’s effectiveness as an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot in psychiatric inpatient care.

Global mental health challenges highlight a significant treatment gap, mainly due to restricted service access and mental health professional shortages. AI chatbots like ChatGPT offer innovative solutions, providing services such as self-help advice, coaching, psychoeducation, and emotional support.

Methods

This study involved a group of patients receiving psychiatric inpatient care. The intervention group engaged in 3-6 ChatGPT sessions under guided prompts, while the control group received standard care. The primary outcome was based on World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire – Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) scores, and the secondary outcome assessed patient satisfaction with ChatGPT.

Results

Twelve patients were included in this study, with a mean age of 27 (standard deviation of 8.57). The intervention group (7 patients) showed notable improvements in WHOQOL-BREF scores compared to the control group (5 groups), and high satisfaction levels with ChatGPT sessions were reported.

Discussion

These findings suggest that AI chatbots like ChatGPT can enhance patient-reported quality of life in a psychiatric setting, with high user satisfaction. However, limitations include a small sample size and the exclusion of patients with psychosis. Future studies should focus on larger, diverse patient groups for broader validation. These results support the potential of AI chatbots in mental health care, which can provide more accessible and varied treatment options. This study lays the groundwork for further exploration into the role of AI in enhancing psychiatric treatment, advocating for larger-scale investigations to establish more conclusive evidence of their effectiveness and applicability in diverse mental health scenarios.

Предельное совместное распределение $U$-статистик, $M$-оценок и выборочных квантилей
Authors: Savelov M P
Published: February 2024

Рассматриваются независимые одинаково распределенные случайные векторы $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$, а также вектор $V(X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n)$, каждая компонента которого является или $U$-статистикой, или $M$-оценкой. Установлены достаточные условия асимптотической нормальности вектора $V(X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n)$. В случае, когда $X_1, X_2, \ldots$ одномерны, получены достаточные условия асимптотической нормальности вектора, каждая компонента которого является или $U$-статистикой, или $M$-оценкой, или выборочной квантилью.
О чебышeвских подпространствах рядов Дирихле
Authors: Fedorov Vladimir Mikhajlovich
Published: February 2024

А. Хаар и А. Н. Колмогоров нашли необходимые и достаточные условия, при которых конечномерные подпространства в пространстве непрерывных функций на произвольном компакте являются чебышeвскими. В работе доказано, что подпространства рядов Дирихле в пространстве $C(0,\infty ]$ ограниченных непрерывных функций в интервале $(0,\infty )$, имеющих предел в бесконечности, образуют чебышeвские подпространства.
Нормализация термов в точных моделях логики доказательств LP
Authors: Krupski Vladimir Nikolaevich
Published: February 2024

Базисная модель логики свидетельств является точной, если конструкторы свидетельских термов $\cdot, +, !$ в модели интерпретируются в точности в соответствии с их неформальным пониманием как применение правила modus ponens, объединение и верификация свидетельств. В статье строится пример точной базисной модели для логики доказательств LP и доказывается, что в точных моделях LP каждый терм эквивалентен некоторому полиному доказательств.

Atualmente a Odontologia contemporânea está buscando a harmonização estética tanto na área de boca, sorriso e dentes como na face, visando melhorar a auto-estima e a auto-imagem dos pacientes.  O nariz é um componente muito relevante na estética facial, pois faz parte de um dos 4 segmentos do rosto humano. Cada um deles tem papel importante num padrão de beleza proporcional. Este estudo tem como objetivo apresentar um relato de caso clínico que utiliza o ácido hialurônico de alta reticulação (PerfecthaSubskin®) para preencher e modelar o complexo nasal com a finalidade de aperfeiçoamento estético. Uma paciente do sexo feminino, com 22 anos de idade foi atendida em Clínica Odontológica de Especialização em Harmonização facial do Instituto Educacional das Américas com queixas de que seu nariz tinha características infantis e isso a incomodava profundamente. Durante a consulta, a paciente foi informada do plano de tratamento, do registro da sua documentação fotográfica, e detalhes sobre o seu procedimento terapêutico em si, em seguida preenchendo o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido.  Concluiu-se que, pelas observações da conduta e dos procedimentos realizados na paciente, que a rinomodelação demostrou ser um procedimento conservador, com um pós-operatório de leve edema e poucos relatos de dores além de obter resultados estéticos excelentes o que a leva a ser alternativa plausível para aqueles pacientes que desejam melhorar a estética em área de nariz, mas que não desejam se submeter a uma rinoplastia.
Exemplets didaktik
Authors: Hållander Marie
Published: February 2024

This article is a philosophical investigation of the example's function as a didactic practice. In teaching, it is common to use examples to concretize, clarify and give students a knowability of the taught content, but this knowability also implies something. But this knowability also means something specific. The article specifically discusses religious education and religious diversity in a Swedish school context. In the article I argue, drawing on Giorgio Agamben's understanding of the example, how the example stands for itself, but which also, in its specificity and singularity, moves towards what is visible next to it. The example and its knowledge have a movement between two singularities – and not as a movement between a part and the whole, i.e., not between the particular and the general. It creates something, Agamben writes, which not only involves methodology (and subject didactic questions) but also ontology. The article argues that the use of examples in teaching has the potential to function as a didactic strategy, which also can have implications for students' subjectivity. Overall, the article is a theoretical contribution which show how the use of examples in teaching has the potential to function as a vital didactic strategy within teaching.
Effect of Alcoholic Tax on Financial Performance of Selected Brewery Firms in Nigeria (2012-2022)

Published: February 2024

This research delved into the impact of alcoholic taxes on the financial performance of selected brewery firms in Nigeria within the time frame of 2012 to 2022. Specifically, the study examined the influence of alcohol excise tax, alcohol price, alcohol value-added tax, and alcohol consumption on the financial performance of these brewery firms. Employing an ex post facto research design, the study utilized the general method of moments (GMM) panel least squares regression for data analysis. The findings revealed that alcohol excise tax exerted a significant negative effect on the financial performance of the brewery firms. Conversely, the alcohol price variable exhibited a significant positive impact on their financial performance. Additionally, alcohol value-added tax was found to have a negative and significant effect on the financial performance of the brewery firms. Furthermore, the study determined that alcohol consumption tax had a positive and significant effect on the financial performance of the brewery firms. Based on these results, the study recommends that brewery firms should consider pricing as a crucial element in their production function to boost revenue and profit, thereby enhancing financial performance. Furthermore, adopting a production model where consumption volume is a significant variable is advised, as it contributes positively to financial performance. Additionally, the firms are encouraged to implement strategies to recover value-added tax payments, leveraging external economies of scale and ultimately improving their financial performance.
