Fiscal Policy and Economic Growth Nexus: Evidence from Zambia
Authors: Mwale Robert , Mulenga Richard
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study examines the short-run and long-run impact of the expansionary fiscal policy on economic growth in Zambia from 1991 to 2021.
Materials and Methods: The study employs the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Models to examine the short-run and long-run impact of total public expenditure, total tax revenue and total public debt time series data on the gross domestic product (GDP) of Zambia from 1991 to 2021. The Keynesian theory informed our study, which presupposes that the unemployment problem might be solved by boosting government spending on consumption and that government spending was an exogenous factor that contributed to economic growth (Keynes, 1936; Singh & Sahni, 1984).
Findings: Both the VECM and ARDL Models show the existence of statistically significant long-run cointegration among public expenditure, external debt, tax revenue and GDP. Specifically, VECM estimates show that for a 1% increase,  Tax revenues have a positive long-run significant effect on Zambia’s economic growth of 3.36%, while external debt and public expenditure have significant negative effects on the economic growth of 1.17% and 0.003% in Zambia respectively. The ARDL model estimates indicate that, in the short run, an increase in tax revenue of 1% increases GDP growth by 1.92%, while a rise in government expenditure and external debt by 1% results in a decline in Zambia’s economic growth by 0.003% and 6.14% respectively.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Given the foregoing findings, the therefore study recommends that the Government of Zambia should widen the tax base to mobilize more tax revenues and reduce the budget deficits emanating from high government expenditures. External public debt should also be reduced.

Reform of Agriculture in Côte d’Ivoire: Between Diversification and Competition among Crops.
Authors: Boris KOUAME, Koffi Jean Marius
Published: June 2024

Agriculture is the foundation of the social, economic and political development of Côte d’Ivoire. This agriculture was dominated by speculative crops depending on political orientation and with the aim of bridging national regional disparities until the year 2000. Initially, Ivorian export agriculture was at the center of political attention. It represents one third of GDP, two thirds of export earnings and employs more than two thirds of the active population (World Bank, 1994). However, this growth dynamic was confronted with external shocks from the 1980s. The country’s agricultural economy entered a deep recession. Internal agricultural restructuring reforms were implemented in 1980, slowed by the political-military crisis that hit the country in December 1999. Since then, new rorms have been introduced. However, in their feasibility, they are similar to a kind of diversification of agriculture, highlighting a notion of “duality” according to Chaléard (2003). This paper examines and compares the reforms and explains why and how their implementation was difficult. It then recommends ways to make the reforms more sustainable and effective. The methodology is based on a theoretical framework and data collection (documentary research and Focus Group Discussion with the Directors of services of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as well as the Chambers of Agriculture of Côte d’Ivoire) and a questionnaire. According to the results obtained. For 64% of farmers, the reforms only concern export crops. Subsistence agriculture remains an unorganized sector in which state reforms remain very weak. We note a disengagement of the State or an absence of communication in favor of subsistence agriculture. Reforms are also underway for the food sector. This requires stakeholder involvement, participatory management and global strategic orientations based on agricultural potential for sustainable agriculture in Côte d’Ivoire.
Leading to Literature Review for Scientific Research
Authors: Sjafei Saleh , Siahaan Bakti , Tarigan Arfan
Published: June 2024

Literature reviews are closely related to the results of previous studies (articles) published by researchers in journals of national and international repute. A literature review is conducted to connect research with a larger, ongoing dialectical space in the literature on a subject matter, fill gaps, and expand previous research. To disseminate scientific knowledge, it can provide researchers with an additional framework for determining the importance of research and benchmarks for comparing a study’s results with other findings. This study model is based more on the results of previous research relating to public perceptions of female ulama in Aceh. The position of ulama in the society concerned is seen as a status (socio-political position) that allows Muslims to achieve the achievements of charismatic, traditional, and rational authority. The issue of the position of ulama in this community has increasingly received attention from many social levels, especially since the politics of Islamic law were socialized and used as a means to change the image and views of the outside community towards Islamic practices in society that is undergoing a transitional process. This includes groups of women who have the potential to occupy ulama positions.
The Transformation of the Character Sengkuni from Wicarita to Kakawin Bharatayuddha in the Perspective of Literary Anthropogeneology
Authors: Endraswara Suwardi , Widyastuti Sri Harti , Mulyani Hesti , Ekowati Venny Indria , Suryobintoro Suryobintoro
Published: June 2024

This article attempts to provide an answer to the question of the transformation of the character Sengkuni. The study aimed to explain the transformation process of Sengkuni. The perspective used is literary anthropogenesis. The results of the discussion show that the character Sengkuni in Kakawin Bharatayuddha has undergone an aesthetically transformed process. The process of change is intertextual. Therefore, from the perspective of literary anthropogenesis, there are two important things to note about the character Sengkuni in Bharatayuddha. First, there is a concept of the influence of the Javanese philosophy of life that gives colour to Sengkuni from the works of Old (kuna) Javanese literature, new Javanese literature, and recent Javanese literature. The concept of influence in wayang literary studies is the development of Javanese personality values that are still valid and related to moral ethics. Secondly, there is a change in the form of the transformation of the character Sengkuni from wiracarita (an epic) to Javanese literary texts. The transformation of Sengkuni is still characterized by the noble Javanese personality, so there may be still a kind of judgment on the character Sengkuni as a metaphor for a wicked life. In the eyes of the Javanese, the character Sengkuni is often seen as evil.

Published: June 2024

This article aims to reaffirm the belief in the concept of Gospel proclamation as taught by Paul, especially in the book of Romans 5:8-11, as a motivator for Christians to remain obedient in carrying out the mandate of Gospel proclamation despite the many challenges they face. To address the purpose of this writing, a literature study approach is used, combining exegetical study of the text of Romans 5:8-11. The concept of Gospel proclamation according to Paul is obtained as follows: First: Gospel proclamation is an absolute idea of God in His love; second is the content of Gospel proclamation is about the death of Christ for the redemption of human sins; third is Gospel proclamation is intended for all humanity; fourth is the reward for welcoming the Gospel news is the assurance of justification and eternal life; and fifth is rejection of the Gospel news is making oneself an enemy of God. The theological implications are, first, the motivation for Gospel proclamation is based solely on God's love for humanity; second is the motivation for Gospel proclamation is based on believers' love for God; and third is the motivation for Gospel proclamation is based on believers' love for others.

Como proxy da responsabilidade socioambiental, empregou-se o Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) da B3 e, para as diferentes dimensões do desempenho econômico-financeiro das empresas, o retorno sobre o ativo (ROA), a Margem EBITDA e o Valor de Mercado. A amostra foi composta por 167 empresas da B3. Os dados utilizados foram as composições das carteiras do ISE no período analisado, coletadas no próprio site da B3, e as informações econômico-financeiras das empresas coletadas na Plataforma Economática®. As técnicas de análise foram a estatística descritiva e o teste de Kruskal-Wallis. Verificou-se que a Margem EBITDA possui associações significantes com a lista de empresas participantes da carteira do ISE. O ROA e o Valor de Mercado apresentam apenas algumas medidas mais proeminentes, mas sem um nível de significância estatística.

Published: June 2024

Summary Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a rare condition not constantly taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of pulsatory tinnitus. Symptomatology, clinical relevance, and therapy of DAVF depend on its type determined primarily by the characteristics of venous drainage. For reliable detection of DAVF, digital subtraction angiography is necessary. Here we report one case of DAVF and comment on clinical aspects of that potentially very serious anomaly. Key words tinnitus – dural arteriovenous fistula – diagnostics – treatment – complications

: In today’s world, soft skills play a very important role for individuals. They help to be successful in the workplace or simply to be able to find a common language with anyone. They also have a crucial impact on the economy, as the acquisition of soft skills contributes to the more efficient functioning of enterprises and the economy as a whole. However, in the current context, due to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain difficulties have arisen in their development in countries around the world. That is why it remains relevant to conduct research in terms of their improvement (in particular, for the human resources potential of employees of enterprises and civil servants). Thus, the aim of the study was to develop a unified framework to help overcome the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the soft skills of employees in Ukraine, both in the public and private sectors. The main research methods used were analysis, forecasting, abstraction and the historical method. Thus, the paper investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the professional skills of the Ukrainian workforce. The article shows a decrease in the number of working-age population in the Lviv region and highlights various factors contributing to this decrease. It also analyses the correlation between different factors that influence the development of soft skills. Based on this, the paper then offers advice on how to overcome the consequences of the pandemic, and builds a model that summarizes the advice and provides an understanding of how it should be applied. The work will be useful for studying soft skills as such and understanding the possibilities of their recovery after the COVID-19 consequences; it also provides a better understanding of the impact of the pandemic on the development of Ukraine as a whole.

Inclusive education is an educational model that aims to ensure the access and participation of all students, regardless of their individual characteristics, such as disabilities, ethnic, socioeconomic, or cultural backgrounds. It promotes pedagogical practices that recognize and value diversity, aiming for meaningful learning for all students. The concept of inclusive education has evolved over the years, moving beyond simply integrating students with disabilities into schools. It now encompasses the promotion of educational environments that value the diversity and individuality of each student, regardless of their personal characteristics. This implies curriculum adaptations, specialized support, and actions to ensure that all students have equal access to learning and development opportunities.

Viêm quanh chóp là bệnh lý thường gặp trên lâm sàng được gây ra bởi sự tương tác của nhiều yếu tố, trong đó vi khuẩn đóng vai trò chủ đạo. Bệnh lý này đặc trưng bởi phản ứng viêm của các mô quanh chóp với các kích thích ở cường độ tương đối thấp và trong một thời gian dài từ mô tuỷ viêm, mô tuỷ hoại tử hoặc thất bại trong điều nội nha. Những năm về trước, điều trị nội nha phẫu thuật được chỉ định cho các răng có tổn thương quanh chóp >5mm, thậm chí nhổ bỏ. Tuy nhiên, với sự phát triển của khoa học và kỹ thuật, rất nhiều bằng chứng đã đưa ra rằng các tổn thương quanh chóp có kích thước lớn vẫn có thể lành thương sau khi điều trị nội nha thường quy mà không cần phẫu thuật hoặc nhổ bỏ, góp phần giữ lại răng thật tối đa cho bệnh nhân. Vì vậy, chúng tôi mô tả ba ca lâm sàng với tổn thương quanh chóp có kích thước lớn đã được điều trị thành công  nhằm góp phần khẳng định rằng điều trị nội nha thường quy vẫn có thể giúp lành thương các tổn thương quanh chóp lớn mà không cần phẫu thuật cắt chóp hoặc nhổ bỏ.
