Quantifying the Impact of Natural Resources on Sustainable Growth in Developing Economies: Evidence from Panel Nonlinear ARDL Technique
Authors: Sherazi Humera , Rasul Farhat , Asghar Nabila
Published: May 2024

The main purpose of current research is to analyze the impact of natural resource exploration on sustainable growth in developing economies. Annual panel data of 57 developing countries from 2000 to 2021 has been used for research analysis. First, this study uses a simple Panel Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) estimation technique to examine the long-run and short-run link among the variables. The results depict that in the long run natural resource exploration has a significant negative impact on sustainable growth. This finding supports the presence of the resource curse hypothesis. Besides this, the present study decomposes the policy variable (mining contribution index) into its two shocks i.e. positive shock and negative shock by applying a panel non-linear ARDL approach. The long-run outcomes depict that both the coefficients of partial positive and partial negative sums of natural resource rents are negative and significant. Furthermore, the research outcomes explain that financial openness and international trade have a substantial and positive impact on sustainable progress. The policy implications for current research are to avoid bad rent-seeking behaviors and to escape from non-productive activities to achieve sustainable development. Furthermore, there is a dire need to adopt and support environmentally friendly policies.
Feasibility and cost-effectiveness of genetic counselling for all patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer: a single-centre retrospective study
Authors: Schlootz Saskia , Saner Flurina A. M. , Rabaglio Manuela , Imboden Sara , Wampfler Julian
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND AND AIMS OF THE STUDY: Due to its importance for treatment and potential prevention in family members, germline testing for BRCA1/2 in patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer is decisive and considered a standard of care. Maintenance therapy with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors substantially improves progression-free survival in patients with BRCA mutations and homologous recombination-deficient tumours by inducing synthetic lethality. In Switzerland, they are licensed only for these patients. Therefore, it is crucial to test patients early while they are receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. This study aimed to determine whether genetic counselling followed by homologous recombination deficiency testing is feasible for initialising maintenance therapy within eight weeks and cost-effective in daily practice in Switzerland compared to somatic tumour analysis of all patients at diagnosis.
METHODS: This single-centre retrospective study included 44 patients with newly diagnosed high-grade serous ovarian cancer of a Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage of IIIA-IVB diagnosed between 12/2020 and 12/2022. It collected the outcomes of genetic counselling, germline testing, and somatic Geneva test for homologous recombination deficiency. Delays in initiating maintenance therapy, total testing costs per patient, and progression-free survival were examined to assess feasibility and cost-effectiveness in clinical practice.
RESULTS: Thirty-seven of 44 patients (84%) with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer received counselling, of which 34 (77%) were tested for germline BRCA and other homologous recombination repair gene mutations. Five (15%) BRCA and three (9%) other homologous recombination deficiency mutations were identified. Eleven of the remaining 26 patients (42%) had tumours with somatic homologous recombination deficiency. The mean time to the initiation of maintenance therapy of 5.2 weeks was not longer than in studies for market authorisation (SOLO1, PAOLA, and PRIMA). The mean testing costs per patient were 3880 Swiss Franks (CHF), compared to 5624 CHF if all patients were tested at diagnosis with the myChoice CDx test (p <0.0001).
CONCLUSION: Using genetic counselling to consent patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer for germline testing fulfils the international gold standard. Subsequent somatic homologous recombination deficiency analysis complements testing and identifies more patients who will benefit from PARP inhibitor maintenance therapy. Contrary to previous health cost model studies, the procedure does not increase testing costs in the Swiss population and does not delay maintenance therapy. Therefore, all patients should be offered a primary germline analysis. The challenge for the future will be to ensure sufficient resources for prompt genetic counselling and germline testing.

Authors: Kaya Esad , Tokat Birgin Pelin Çağım
Published: May 2024

The powder metallurgy technique is utilized in this study to produce Cu matrix hybrid composites with ZrO2 reinforcements and graphite additives. This study compares composites' microstructural (theoretical, experimental, and relative density, phase morphology, type, chemical content), mechanical (microhardness), and tribological behavior (wear and friction) with 5, 10, and 15 wt% reinforcement, together with and without the effect of 2 wt% graphite additives. Homogenously ZrO2 added copper alloy was successfully produced. All samples were produced at least %90 relative density. The XRD analyses also validate the phase presence of reinforcement phase. Also the graphite was added to samples which provides self-lubrication. The graphite addition improves friction behaviour. The hardness of the composites increased as the amount of ZrO2 increased with the addition of graphite. The wear resistance of ZrO2-added copper samples was improved between 1.32 and 4.84 times better than that of copper without reinforcement.
Anaemia and its Determinants Among Pregnant Women: A Study in Urban Slums of Kolkata Metro City
Authors: Mondal Mithun , Mukherjee Shourjya
Published: May 2024

Anemia among pregnant women remains a significant public health concern, particularly in urban slum areas where access to healthcare and proper nutrition is often limited. Iron deficiency anemia is a pervasive issue, particularly impacting pregnant women and adolescent girls, considered by the World Health Organization with hemoglobin levels below 11 g/dl. On a global scale, as of 2019, 37% of pregnant women and 30% of women aged 15 to 49 experience anemia. NFHS-5 data reveals that the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women in urban areas of India stands at 45.7%. This study explores the multifaceted factors influencing the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women residing in the urban slums of Kolkata, India.
The study adopted a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to comprehensively assess the determinants of anemia among pregnant women in the Urban slums of Kolkata. Quantitative data collection involves structured surveys administered to pregnant women, focusing on socio-demographic characteristics, dietary habits, access to healthcare services, and knowledge of anemia prevention and management. Qualitative interviews delve deeper into the experiences and perceptions of pregnant women regarding anemia, exploring cultural beliefs, social norms, and barriers to accessing healthcare services. Additionally, healthcare providers and community health workers contribute insights into the challenges faced in addressing anemia in urban slum settings.
Preliminary findings suggest that several interconnected factors contribute to the high prevalence of anemia among pregnant women in urban slum areas of Kolkata. These include inadequate antenatal care, limited availability of iron-rich foods, poor sanitation and hygiene practices, cultural beliefs surrounding pregnancy and nutrition, and socio-economic constraints.
The study underscores the importance of multi-sectoral interventions aimed at addressing the complex determinants of anemia among pregnant women in urban slums. Effective strategies may involve improving access to antenatal care services, promoting nutrition education and supplementation, enhancing sanitation infrastructure, and fostering community engagement to challenge harmful cultural norms.
By elucidating the nuanced factors influencing anemia in this vulnerable population, this research seeks to inform targeted interventions and policies aimed at improving maternal and child health outcomes in urban slum areas of Kolkata and similar settings worldwide.

Published: May 2024

Our study aims to demonstrate the contribution of quantitative analysis of capillaroscopic study in the early diagnosis of connective tissue diseases. One hundred and fifteen patients were evaluated by capillaroscopy. Raynaud's phenomenon is the most frequently encountered acro-syndrome leading to the request for capillaroscopic examination. capillaroscopy reveals minor dystrophy in 83.5% of patients and major dystrophy in 60% of them. On a quantitative level, 77 patients present, among the four examined fingers, at least one finger with a capillary density <25 capillaries/3mm. For the diagnosis of connective tissue disease, this threshold is statistically significant with an odds ratio of 4.21 (95% CI = 1.47-11.99; p = 0.008). For this same diagnosis, its positive predictive value is 38%, its negative predictive value is 86%. A low capillary density, as a diagnostic test for connective tissue disease, has a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 41%. There is no significant difference between the decrease in capillary density for the diagnosis of connective tissue disease for each examined finger in terms of positive predictive value, negative predictive value, sensitivity, and specificity

Published: May 2024

Renal infarction is a rare disease often overlooked due to its very unspecific clinical presentation. We report the particular case of an idiopathic bilateral acute renal infarction occurring in a young adult male. The diagnostic delay in our patient is significant: ten days. However, a Doppler ultrasound allows screening. The diagnosis of certainty is made by the angioCT scan: essential examination to make the lesional balance sheet and to evaluate the prognosis on the renal function. Anticoagulant treatment is the treatment of choice provided it is instituted early.

Authors: Liyong Wang , Yongliang Lin
Published: May 2024

Ten years ago, with deep insight into global development trends and to promote common development and human progress, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the grand Belt and Road Initiative. Now it can be concluded that it is a successful and globally important project which has advanced world economy, but also created a brand-new model of international cooperative development. This text offers a series of concrete data: for example, China has signed MoUs for the Digital Silk Road with 17 countries, established bilateral cooperation mechanisms for "Silk Road" e-commerce with 23 countries and built 34 cross-border terrestrial cable systems and several international submarine cables. More importantly, numerous forms of integration have been realized between those countries, from cooperation in culture, education, tourism, science and technology to the construction and expansion of transport infrastructure. Thanks to the open and partnering relationship, the paradigm of international cooperation development has been changed, which announces a prospect of expanding the cooperation domain with new projects such as the "Green Silk Road", the "Digital Silk Road" and the "Health Silk Road". It implies a new way of thinking and approach to the values, rules and standards, and the promotion of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and Internet of Things.

Published: May 2024

Aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) is a nontoxic and low-cost material that finds application as a transparent conducting electrode in photovoltaic devices. In this study, the (direct current) DC magnetron sputtering of AZO films is carried out at different deposition times of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 min’s at room temperature, and its structural, optical, electrical, and morphological properties are studied for its use as a front contact for thin film solar cell application. The structural study suggests that the preferred orientation of grains along the (002) plane has a hexagonal structure, and the optical and electrical studies suggest that the films show an average transmission of 70% and a resistivity of the order of 10-4Ω cm. On the other hand, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images suggest the formation of packed grains with a homogeneous surface. Moreover, in order to study the optoelectronic properties of prepared samples, the electronic and optical calculations of the AZO are performed by the first-principles calculations using density functional theory (DFT).

Exploring Language Learning Motivation and Strategies in Viet-namese High School Students: A Case Study in Ho Chi Minh City
Authors: Huynh Nguyen Thu
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the motivation and learning strategies of high school students in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and explores the relationship between these two factors. The research involved 76 students from Dang Khoa private high school who completed adapted questionnaires to assess their types of motivation (intrinsic or extrinsic) and language learning strategies. Instruments were modified from established scales - Chang's (2005) and Vaezi's (2008) for motivation, and the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning, Version 7.0 (Oxford, 1989) for strategies. The findings indicate that the extrinsic motivation (e.g., external pressures, instrumental goals) was more prevalent than intrinsic motivation (e.g., personal interest, enjoyment) among the participants. In addition, a positive correlation was found between motivation level and strategised learning. Students with stronger motivation tended to employ a wider range of learning strategies. Based on these results, the study concludes with recommendations for educators to enhance student motivation and support their strategic use of learning practices for effective English language acquisition.
CONTENT OF EDUCATIONAL WORK IN INSTITUTIONS OF SECONDARY EDUCATION OF GREAT BRITAIN
Authors: Volodymyr Fedorovych CHERKASOV
Published: May 2024

The article substantiates the content of the organization of educational work in secondary education institutions of Great Britain based on the analysis of research by domestic and foreign scientists, the generalization of the work experience of state and private schools, the introduction of music classes, which positively affects the formation of the personality of the future citizen and defender of general cultural and national values. On the basis of a comparative analysis of the reform of secondary education institutions in Great Britain, we tried to identify psychological-pedagogical and moral-ethical problems of humanizing the educational process, the results of which were aimed at the formation of universal and national values in students. Based on the analysis of the scientific intelligence of British researchers, we were convinced that the reform of the content of educational work in Great Britain led to a shift in emphasis to internal centralization processes, which included the introduction of educational standards and programs of autonomous school management in Great Britain. At the same time, it should be recognized that educators and teachers also provide schoolchildren with leisure time and ensure that students lead a healthy lifestyle. In their free time from classes, school teachers organize excursions for children, organize various sports competitions and involve them in interest clubs. In most boarding houses, music programs have been developed, where children participate in vocal ensembles and learn to play musical instruments. Jazz ensembles, playing electronic musical instruments, and participation in solo singing groups are popular. Keywords: educational work, secondary education institutions, Great Britain.

Published: May 2024

Автори в статті підкреслюють, що головною метою формування вокально-виконавських навичок в учнів ЗЗСО – є процес співу, як глибинний пласт людських емоцій, здатний виявити якнайкращі фізичні і духовні її якості. На початковому етапі навчання вокального співу в учнів виникають деякі складності у звуковидобуванні, що несе загрозу не тільки художньому виконанню вокального твору. Деякі недоліки вокальної підготовки учнів ЗЗСО негативно впливають на весь голосовий апарат. «Білий звук», гіпертрофія грудного звучання, манера наспівування півголосом в середньому регістрі (при використанні мікрофону), невміле використання вібрато, форсований звук – є найбільш поширеними недоліками. Ключові слова: вокально-виконавські навички, голосовий апарат, недоліки звукоутворення, форсований звук, вібрато, резонування, опора дихання.
Litigating the EU-Turkey Deal
Authors: van der Pas Kris
Published: May 2024

Earlier this year three Dutch NGOs sued the Netherlands for approving and carrying out the EU-Turkey deal. They argue that the Dutch government should be held responsible for the dire conditions under which asylum seekers have been held under on Greek islands since the deal has been concluded, which have repeatedly been found to violate human rights. In this blog, I sketch the context of litigation surrounding the EU-Turkey deal which has driven the NGOs to sue in the Dutch national legal system and explain the promise and pitfalls of the rise of strategic litigation in the sphere of migration and asylum law.
