The indicator-based measurement of the circular economy in the countries of the European Union
Authors: Kozma Dorottya Edina , Molnár Tamás , Molnárné Barna Katalin
Published: June 2022

The circular economy is an integral part of sustainable development as a new economic model, which is the opposite of the linear economy that is still in force today. In terms of its basics, we can speak of a sustainable economic system in which economic growth is completely decoupled from the use of resources, in order to reduce the use of natural resources and recycle them. In the study, the authors present the possibility of measuring the circular economy and establish a ranking for the 28 Member States of the European Union based on the created composite indicators measuring the circular economy. The values of the created CCEI index were compared with rankings produced by other researchers in similar and different ways. The goodness of the presented methodology is examined by comparing previous similar research results.

The primary objective of the study is to create composite indicators and to analyse their comparability. Further aim is to characterise the leading and the tail-ender countries from which conclusions can be drawn regarding ranking and thus make them comparable. The research objective is achieved by using secondary data based on different Eurostat databases related to a sub-sector of the circular economy for the year 2018. The indicators of the circular economy were grouped according to four areas: production and consumption, waste management secondary raw materials, competitiveness and innovation. These areas are adequately show the topics related to the circular economy.

In terms of its structure, the international literature related to the circular economy is reviewed first, followed by the EU strategy and a set of relevant indicators. In the methodological chapter, the methodology of the analysis, the scale coordinate transformation is explained. The research results are compared with the rankings created by other authors and the authors of this study. In this study, the comparison is made from composite indicators using rank correlation, followed by the conclusions.

The research findings of the study highlighted the fact that composite indicators can be created in relation to the circular economy, however, creating and comparing them is not an easy task. The ranking on which the comparison is based shows a very high degree of similarity with the selected rankings. Overall and typically, the leading States, such as Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Italy are almost without exception in the top of the rankings in most cases, while the group of tail-enders is led by Malta and Estonia. Based on the results of the macro-level studies, the authors established a kind of competitiveness ranking.

Toxicology of carbon nanostructures. Part I. Spherical nanoparticles (fullerenes and nanoonions)
Authors: Litasova Elena V. , Iljin Viktor V. , Myznikov Leonid V. , Piotrovskiy Levon B.
Published: June 2022

The literature review is devoted to the generalization of publications on the toxicity of carbon nanostructures, which have recently been increasingly used in biological and pharmacological research, in medicinal chemistry with the prospect of being used in medicine. Analysis of the literature data shows that, despite a huge amount of work, there are no unambiguous conclusions about the toxicological characteristics of various types of carbon nanomaterials. The use of carbon nanostructures in medicine can be questioned due to the potentially adverse health effects of their use. To clarify the harmlessness, it is necessary to develop more effective tests on animals, taking into account the characteristics of each type of nanomaterial.

Authors: Sekste Edgard A. , Airapetov Marat I. , Eresko Sergei O. , Bychkov Eugeny R. , Lebedev Andrei A. , Kosyakova Galina P. , Shabanov Petr D.
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Orexin and its receptors are involved in the mechanisms of pathological craving for alcohol, but there is no unambiguous answer about the expression of the OX2R gene in the rat brain under conditions of alcohol addiction.
AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the level of OX2R mRNA in brain structures in rats under conditions of prolonged alcoholization and during the period of abstinence.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Adult male Wistar rats were alcoholized with 15% ethanol as the only source of liquid for 6 months. The rats were decapitated after chronic alcoholization, as well as on the 1st and 7th days of alcohol withdrawal. Samples of brain structures (prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, ventral tegmental area) were frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at 80C. Determination of the level of OX2R mRNA was carried out using the method of PCR-analysis.
RESULTS: The level of ORXR2 gene expression significantly increased in the hippocampus on the 7th day of abstinence in relation to the group of intact animals and in relation to the group of chronically alcoholized rats. The level of OX2R mRNA in the prefrontal cortex and ventral tegmental area in animal groups of abstinence (1st and 7th days) did not change in relation to both alcohol and the intact animals.
CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the orexin brain system may represent a new potential therapeutic target for the prevention of relapse in alcohol withdrawal. Together with the previously obtained data it was concluded that orexin receptor antagonists can be used to reduce the pathological craving for alcohol.
Effect of orexin and its antagonist on the organization of emotional and exploratory behavior of rats in a model of psychic trauma
Authors: Tissen Ilia Y. , Lebedev Andrei A. , Khokhlov Platon P. , Bychkov Eugeny R. , Tsikunov Sergei G. , Shabanov Petr D.
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: A number of recent studies have revealed the role of orexins in regulating emotional behavior and emotional memory. The rationale for this role of orexin regulation is the close bi-directional interaction of orexin neurons with emotional structures of the brain, such as the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, locus ceruleus, central and dorsomedial amygdala, hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex. There is experimental and clinical evidence that an endogenous or induced deficiency of orexin effects accelerates the elimination of traumatic memory.
AIM: To study the effect of the OX1R Orexin Receptor Antagonist SB408124 and orexin on the emotional and exploratory behavior of animals after predator-induced stress.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The experiments were made with 36 male Wistar rats, divided into 4 groups of 8 animals. Animals of 3 groups were exposed to single simulation of post-traumatic stress disorder by exposition with the indian python and subsequent death of one rat as a result of predator activity. The rats of 2 experimental groups received SB408124 OX1R antagonist in a dose of 20 l of 0.1% solution and Orexin A in the same dose intranasally. The other animals received physiological solution in a dose of 20 l intranasally. Behavior tests was made 7 days after the modeling of psychotrauma. A panel of behavioral tests was used: an elevated X-maze, an open field test, and an residentintruder test. The obtained data were statistically processed using the Student t-test and ANOVA dispersion analysis. The differences were considered statistically significant at p 0.01.
RESULTS: Orexin antagonist SB408124 showed anxiolytic effects. SB408124 showed anxiolytic properties in stressed rats. It restored the time spent in the light arm of the elevated X-maze to the intact level. In the open field test SB408124 increased (p 0.01) the orientation behavior and reduced the frequency of freezing in stressed animals. Orexin A suppressed (p 0,01) locomotor activity of animals in the open field. In the residentintruder test in stressed animals SB408124 restored suppressed communication activity (p 0,01). Orexin A reduced communicative behavior and increased aggression of animals.
CONCLUSIONS: The work shows a moderate anxiolytic action of SB408124 in the post-traumatic stress model in rats.

Boxeo, jiu-jitsu, lucha grecorromana y esgrima de bastón en Barcelona. Sportsmen y clases sociales a principios del siglo XX
Authors: Torrebadella Xavier , Gutiérrez-García Carlos
Published: June 2022

En la Barcelona de principios del siglo XX la clase burguesa utilizó el deporte para proyectar el ideal de una ciudad moderna, europeizante y civilizada. En este contexto aparecieron actividades físicas de combate como el boxeo, la lucha grecorromana y el jiu-jitsu, que se vieron inmersas en un proceso de institucionalización deportiva. Este proceso se inició con la entrada de estas prácticas de combate (“cuerpo a cuerpo”) en el gimnasio, lugar de culto físico que fue estratégicamente institucionalizado por la burguesía como dispositivo de civilización. A través de fuentes documentales primarias y secundarias, este trabajo analiza cómo estas prácticas de combate fueron asimiladas y normalizadas por la clase burguesa. En un análisis crítico se deconstruyen los sucesos historiados y se sostiene la presencia de una proyección social civilizadora que tuvo por objeto el atenuar la violencia urbana en las calles. El aprovechamiento de la lógica capitalista proyectó en los deportes de combate la comercialización de una violencia civilizada.

When to Perform a Treatment Switch in Diabetic Macular Edema in Patients with Inadequate Response to Anti-VEGF
Authors: Ruiz-Medrano Jorge , Gonzalez-Buendia Lucia , Ruiz-Moreno José
Published: June 2022

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the most common cause of vision loss in diabetic patients. Multiple therapeutic options are currently available for these patients, including laser photocoagulation; intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs or steroids; or pars plana vitrectomy for tractional DME. The initial treatment for DME is well-defined and widely accepted, with anti-VEGF as first-line option. Nevertheless, between 30 and 40% of patients show partial response or no response whatsoever. There is no consensus on the number of injections needed in order to classify a patient as a non-responder or sub-optimal responder, nor on the definition of the latter. In this study, these concepts are analysed as well as the different therapeutic alternatives at hand, with special interest on the switch between different anti-VEGF and/or steroids. These analyses are performed from an anatomical and functional point of view as well as from an economic, cost-effectiveness perspective. Recent evidence suggests that an early switch to dexamethasone implant in eyes that did not respond adequately to anti-VEGF therapy after 3 injections provides better functional outcomes while alleviating the heavy economic burden of this disease.

Authors: Indar L. , Kissoondan S. , John J.
Published: June 2022

The Caribbean is heavily dependent on tourism and as such, the longevity, vitality and resilience of Caribbean economies are intertwined with its travel and tourism industry. Accelerated by travel, the SARS-2-CoV virus (COVID-19), rapidly spread throughout the region concurrently crippling tourism sectors, impacting economies and threatening regional health security. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the critical necessity for health in tourism. The Caribbean Public Health Agency’s Tourism and Health Program is a novel innovative program that aims to strengthen regional and national health systems and enhance the health of visitor and resident populations in addressing the health, safety, and environmental sanitation threats to tourism. This versatile program adopts a multi-faceted, multisectoral approach for implementation via surveillance and response, guidelines, capacity building, standards, policy, advocacy and partnerships, a travellers health award and mobile app. Since the advent of COVID-19, the program quickly expanded and realigned its public health tools for more rapid and relevant response to the pandemic. Implementing countries have enhanced capacity to mitigate against COVID-19 and other HSE threats to sustainable tourism. The THP is elevating Caribbean tourism by building traveller’s confidence and reinstating healthier, safer travel to the Caribbean, especially during COVID-19. This integrated program, first of its kind, continues to pioneer in setting an international precedent for improving sustainable tourism and health security
The Scientific Advisor in a Politicized World
Authors: Slater David , Ale Ben
Published: June 2022

The role of scientific advice and the scientific advisor in policy development and execution has been studied and described in many documents, but seemingly always from the point of view of the policy makers. Questions that are discussed in that context are amongst others, how to get unbiased advice, how to know whether an advisor is competent, how to select the subjects for which advice is needed and how to get a complete picture of the problem. In this paper we argue that the scientific advisor needs to consider some other questions too: Am I unbiased; Does the “client” try to influence the scientists’ point of view and if so what to do? How certain is the advice? How to convey uncertainties? How to prevent the user of the advice letting it sound more certain than it is? What to do if the client does not follow the advice but suggests he does? How to prevent the client hiding behind the advisor? If the advisor thinks the problem has more angles than are within his expertise, how to convey that message? How to deal with other views, whether scientific or otherwise? How to deal with confidentiality demands? In the remainder of the paper, we discuss these issues, using actual political and societal examples.
Immune Modulation by Antigenic Peptides and Antigenic Peptide Conjugates for Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: Mahadik Rucha , Kiptoo Paul , Tolbert Thomas , Siahaan Teruna
Published: June 2022

The immune system defends our body by fighting infection from pathogens utilizing both the innate and adaptive immune responses. The innate immune response is generated rapidly as the first line of defense. It is followed by the adaptive immune response that selectively targets infected cells. The adaptive immune response is generated more slowly, but selectively, by targeting a wide range of foreign particles (i.e., viruses or bacteria) or molecules that enter the body, known as antigens. Autoimmune diseases are the results of immune system glitches, where the body’s adaptive system recognizes self-antigens as foreign. Thus, the host immune system attacks the self-tissues or organs with a high level of inflammation and causes debilitation in patients. Many current treatments for autoimmune diseases (i.e., multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA)) have been effective but lead to adverse side effects due to general immune system suppression, which makes patients vulnerable to opportunistic infections. To counter these negative effects, many different avenues of antigen specific treatments are being developed to selectively target the autoreactive immune cells for a specific self-antigen or set of self-antigens while not compromising the general immune system. These approaches include soluble antigenic peptides, bifunctional peptide inhibitors (BPI) including IDAC and Fc-BPI, polymer conjugates, and peptide-drug conjugates. Here, various antigen-specific methods of potential treatments, their efficacy, and limitations will be discussed along with the potential mechanisms of action.
The Comparison between Black Cumin Extract and Betel Leaf Extract As Antifungal Potential to Candida Albicans on Acrylic Resin Denture Base
Authors: Pintadi Hastoro , Aryandi Urai Rifaldy
Published: June 2022

Porosity in acrylic resin denture base causes a rough surface and can absorb fluid, leading to plaque. Candida albicans can stick to a plaque on the denture base and engender denture stomatitis. Denture base submersion has to be carried out in traditional plant solutions to prevent denture stomatitis. Traditional plants such as black cumin and betel leaf are considered to have anti-fungal properties. This study aims to identify the comparison of antifungal properties between black cumin and betel leaf extract to Candida albicans on the acrylic resin denture base. This study is an experimental laboratory. Treatment group 1 used aquadest as a control negative, treatment group 2 used a black cumin extract with a concentration of 0.25%, while treatment group 3 used betel leaf extract with a concentrate of 50%. In every group, 9 acrylic resin pieces were soaked for 8 hours. The colony calculation was then conducted and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test to compare the average difference level between the two tested groups. There was no significant difference level among a total colony of Candida albicans in the treatment group with a concentration of 0.25% black cumin and the treatment group with a 50% concentration of betel leaf. The result showed that the black cumin extract is no more effective in hindering the growth of Candida albicans on the acrylic resin denture base than betel leaf extract.

On the Nature of the Borders of the Sever-Vyatich-Radimich Prestate Formation with Russia in the Middle — Second Half of the 10th Century
Authors: Shinakov Evgeny
Published: June 2022

The boundaries of the X century. in the southeast of the East Slavic world (late Romny culture) of the alternative Rus' proto-state entirely cover the area of the northerners and the southern half of the area of the Vyatichi and the eastern area of the Radimichi. This indicates that the border was not so much natural and ethno-cultural as potestarical-political in nature. The western border (with Rus) of the “Romny pre-state” can be clearly traced almost along its entire length by a set of features, the identification methodology of which is discussed in the article. These features include treasures and coin finds, finds of ray temporal rings and official signs, military-archaeological signs and finds of weapons, features of the funeral rite, physical-geographical and toponymical markers.
British Political Cartoon about Irish Border Issue under Brexit
Authors: Medvedeva Nataliya
Published: June 2022

The article examines the features of the reflection of the problem of the Irish border in the British political caricature. The issue of the border between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland became one of the defining ones in the discussion of the Brexit process. The second aspect of the border problem emerged when a transparent Irish border mechanism was proposed, which in turn threatens to create a semblance of a border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the Kingdom. The positions of the negotiating parties and political parties within the Kingdom were divided. The British political cartoon reflected the complexity and, at the same time, the comic and paradoxical nature of this situation. At the political level, all participants in the negotiation process emphasized their commitment to maintaining peace in Northern Ireland and preventing the emergence of a “hard” border that would divide the island. The creation of barriers within the Kingdom was all the more denied. Despite its seriousness, the topic displayed characteristic satirical assessments, which became part of political discourse and markers of the unsuccessful activities of political leaders, primarily Prime Minister Theresa May, and later Boris Johnson. British cartoonists from left-liberal and conservative publications differed in critical assessments of their activities. The former showed a more pro-European position and expressed concern about the interests of the Irish, exaggerated the fear of a real border on the island of Ireland. Conservative cartoonists criticized the EU's stance, defended British fears of customs barriers within the Kingdom, and downplayed the prospect of a “hard” Irish border.
Development of the Caucasian Borderland by Russian Empire (Late 18th — Early 60s of the 19th Centuries)
Authors: German Roman
Published: June 2022

In this article the subject of research is the process of turning the Caucasian borderland in part of the territory of the Empire during the last quarter of 18th — the early 60s of 19th centuries, the settlement and economic development of Caucasus and Ciscaucasia, the creation of material resources for operating in the region by Russian troops. The methodology of this study is based on historical-genetic and comparative-historical methods, which allowed us to consider the historical dynamics of the process of creating social and economic foundations for the spread of Russian power in the Caucasus border region. As conclusions and results, we can conclude that the objects created during the development of the territory of the Caucasian border area include villages, villages and cities, hospitals, anti — epidemic cordons, equipped Caucasian mineral waters, active agriculture-arable farming and cattle breeding, as well as roads and post offices. All these efforts of the Russian authorities made it possible to turn the Caucasian borderland into a part of the empire. The field of application of the obtained results can be educational and scientific works on the history of the Caucasus region and the history of the marginal policy of the Russian Empire.
Despotism or Enlightened Absolutism? Towards the Image of Russia in the Work of Abbé Raynal “Histoire des Deux Indes”
Authors: Demicheva Taisiia
Published: June 2022

The article reveals the image of Russia in the work of Abbé Raynal “Histoire des deux Indes”. The subject of this study based on the imperial theory thesis in the Enlightened France recorded in the parts of the “Histoire des deux Indes” devoted to Russia. French philosophers criticized the empires activities destroyed indigenous peoples and sold people into slavery. When they discovered Russia, they began to compare it with the already studied and familiar models: prevailed in Russia estate system with the colonial one, and the serf peasant with the slaves exploited in the colonies, i.e. they operated with categories familiar to them. The article was written within the framework of the new imperial history. We will look at the image of Russia in of Abbé Raynal’s work based on such categories of analysis as state policy, population, trade and suggestions for improvement. We will argue that the image of Russia was similar to the eastern despotic states, as well as that there no need for the Russian state to export foreign state models.
Smolyauns and Poles: Gender Issues Against the Background of the Polish Uprisings of the 19th Century
Authors: Gorskaya Natalia
Published: June 2022

The article is based on published and unpublished Memoirs of participants in the suppression of the Polish uprisings of 1830—1831 and 1863—1864, natives of the Smolensk province Russian officers N. D. Neelov and A. P. Surazhevsky. The participation of smolyauns, residents the border province, in the suppression Polish uprisings is a little-studied page in the history of the 19th century. Observations taken from the battlefields, in which women also took part, and impressions from meetings during recreation allowed Smolyauns officers their attitude to “women’s'”. The author notes the differences in the perception of Polish women by officers of two generation, and at the same time emphasizes the peculiarities of the gender view of “strangers”.

Authors: Plassa Wander
Published: June 2022

O objetivo do trabalho é analisar se um baixo conhecimento sobre ferramentas digitais observado antes da entrada em um curso do Ensino Superior na modalidade Educação a Distância (EaD) pode aumentar as chances de problemas na progressão educacional. Para isso, aplicou-se um questionário, no ano de 2021, entre alunos dos cursos de Engenharia da Computação e Produção da Universidade Virtual do Estado de São Paulo (UNIVESP). Com a participação de 213 alunos, encontrou-se, através de modelos de probabilidade estatística, que um menor conhecimento das ferramentas digitais não está estatisticamente associado com um maior número de dependências. No entanto foi observado, entre os alunos com menor conhecimento em ferramentas digitais, maiores chances de pensamentos de abandonar o curso, mesmo controlando por diversas características socioeconômicas desses estudantes.

Un giro civilizatorio: decolonialidad, transdiplomacia y localización de normas
Authors: Tinoco Blacio Fergie , Vázquez Hidalgo María Dolores
Published: June 2022

Los Estados y sociedades han establecido como precepto permanente la superioridad y hegemonía occidental basada en el raciocinio, la economía y el eurocentrismo; y, a su vez, las demás ideologías, tal como la oriental y la indígena, no son aplicables y capaces de cumplir los “objetivos” de todos los individuos. La legitimidad a esta concepción ha provocado la invisibilización de lo “otro”y el desconocimiento de su sabiduría; empero, esto ha permanecido latente hace décadas entre los actores de la comunidad y ha localizado las normas globalizadas para defender su existencia. En el presente trabajo se analiza, desde una mirada crítica, el giro civilizatorio realizado por los actores indígenas a las normas sociales generalizadas de occidente; y se afirma que la cosmovisión andina ha permanecido en el accionar social a través normas localizadas que han permitido resolver cuestiones desde perspectivas no tradicionales y colectivistas.
Diversas relaciones, varias realidades: reconstruyendo la relación con la naturaleza a través de un lente relacional
Authors: Delgado Guerrero Fernando José , Cobo Encalada María Gracia
Published: June 2022

Sin duda alguna las discusiones sobre el medio ambiente cada vez están en aumento. Sin embargo, usualmente el análisis y las acciones propuestas para cuidar el planeta se han realizado con un fin antropocéntrico, como consecuencia los patrones de conducta que nos han llevado a la situación ambiental actual se siguen repitiendo. Por lo tanto, el siguiente artículo pone en duda este acercamiento y plantea una visión alternativa al análisis de los fenómenos naturales. Enfatizando que para repensar las políticas ecológicas globales es necesario tener presente las diferentes bases ontológicas que amplían la forma de entender al mundo. Es así que el artículo tiene como punto de partida un análisis de la situación actual de los movimientos ambientales, seguido de una introducción al campo ontológico haciendo uso de un lente relacional. Además, se presenta como ejemplo una breve visión de la Filosofía Andina y su nexo con la naturaleza.

The existing system of land relations requires better organizational and economic mechanisms, search for new ways to increase its efficiency and competitiveness. Land reforms in Russia focused on land privatization transformed the entire system of land relations. Undeveloped state regulation and the difficult financial situation discouraged most agricultural producers from reproducing land resources. The present paper aims to conduct a post-event analysis of land tenure strategies, regulatory and legal acts and scientific and methodological support of land reforms in Russia. The existing approaches to studying theoretical and methodological issues of land relations regulation, shortcomings in methodological and legal support, the practical need for new methods and tools for effective land management in the agricultural sector have predetermined the relevance and significance of the research topic. Research target is the territory of the Russian Federation, the creation of a system of land ownership and land use adapted to the market economy. The study involved analyzing statistical data on agricultural production in combination with quantitative and qualitative indicators of land resources. The work provides a wealth of experience in land transformations, planning and forecasting the Russian territories' socio-economic development, and working out land management methods, which can be applied in other countries.

The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of house isolation on the Palestinian people's lifestyles, mental health (MW), and physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic (PA). The Global Health Guidelines 5 and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, as well as the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) (PSQI) (PSQI), were used to collect demographic data. To collect data from all staff and students in Palestinian universities, including faculty and staff, as well as students, a non-discriminatory approach to community sampling was used, consisting of 360 research participants. According to the statistics, men are more likely than women to be in a good emotional state. By and large, people with improved mental states reported improved sleep quality and overall health. Increased physical activity (i.e. 17.33.6) was connected with improved mental health compared to average physical activity (i.e. 13.74.2). It has been proven that there is a relationship between a mental state variable and the amount of regular daily activity. Physical activity improves mental health. Additionally, physical exercise was the strongest predictor of mental health ratings.

Published: June 2022

According to UIA-CIMES Declaration, several governments have included a group of intermediate cities in their program for sustainable urban development. In third world countries, many of these urban areas still suffer from neglect and shortcomings in the production process of well-thought-out urban expansion plans, regardless of their capacity and potential for urbanization and transformation. This research aims to take advantage of the digital capabilities of GIS software to study the most effective factors in formulating urban expansion plans necessary to develop appropriate policies for intermediate cities from the perspective of UIA-CIMES. Its methodology focuses on identifying a range of factors affecting the development of the master plan for these cities, including identifying many aspects related to sustainable urban development such as cultural, physical, economic, and environmental aspects, with their details and land uses, besides determining several urban factors and indicators approved for differentiation and classification of expansion areas. This is followed by an analytical study of the Idrisi program on the city of Sinjar in northern Iraq as a case study to provide a comprehensive view of the urbanization of the city in a long-term GIS plan. Idrisi is characterized by its ability to deal with raster images more than vector graphics, and the ease of working and training. After extracting the results, planning trends are analyzed and identified to show the appropriate land use for each of the mentioned expansion areas. These results are available to the decision-maker in formulating the scenario of the new master plan for Sinjar city 2040. The analysis of the potential expansion areas utilizing Idrisi has revealed the existence of two types of regions in Sinjar: basic expansion zones and non-basic expansion zones, and the study of its future expansion must be based on the principles of sustainable urban development according to long-term planning.

Foreign direct investment plays an important role in the economic development of developing countries. One of the factors that investors consider when deciding to invest in a country is the institutional factor. Therefore, this study is conducted to determine the relationship between institutions and foreign direct investment in Vietnam. Research data is panel data from 63 provinces/cities of Vietnam for 2012-2015 used to test the hypothesis. The fixed impact assessment model (F.E.M.) and IV-GMM allowed the exact causal relationship of these factors to be determined. The results show a positive impact from institutional factors on FDI attraction in Vietnam. Research results also show that R&D research also helps increase FDI attraction into Vietnam significantly, and the accountability factor is the most important factor for investment decisions of FDI owners. In addition, the study also examines in detail the institutional distribution indicators that affect FDI. The study shows a significant relationship between institutions and FDI attraction to Vietnam. From this result, some policy implications are also given to improve the ability to attract FDI based on institutional policy.

Published: June 2022

Socioeconomic, government expenditures, and transportation infrastructures, such as roads and ports, play a critical role in the economic development of poor and deprived regions. These factors are as catalysts for increasing economic output and enhancing people’s living standards in these regions. This study of West Timor, Indonesia, aimed to examine the impact of Socioeconomic, government expenditure, road, and port infrastructure on economic growth. This study analyzed panel data from a cross-section of six regencies/municipality in the West Timor region from 2002 to 2020. The analytical method used in this research is the fixed effect model (FEM) and the random effect model (REM). We found that human development, government expenditure on personnel and capital expenditure, urbanization, and district roads positively impacted economic growth, while expenditure on goods and services has a negative impact on economic growth. In contrast to district roads, national roads adversely impact economic growth due to triggering backwash and leakage of the regional economy. Therefore, human development, government expenditure, and infrastructure development to encourage the local economy of underdeveloped areas in the country’s border areas must consider the needs of local communities in increasing their productivity.
