The Impact of an Effective Tax System On a Developing Economy: A Review of Rwandan and Nigerian Tax Systems
Authors: Attah Joseph Eleojo , Wamakko Jamilu Aliyu
Published: September 2023

This study analyzes how foreign direct investment (FDI) affected the output of Nigeria's service sector from 1980 to 2020. The study uses service sector output as the regresand, FDI as the major regressor, and exchange rate (EXR) and government spending (GEX) were used as check variables. The data were sourced from the CBN Statistical Bulletin 2020. The nature of the variables necessitated the use of ECM. Results from the short run ECM dynamic model reveals that service sector output responds positively to FDI. We observed that the lag value of service sector output was positive and significant, implying that service sector output responds to past service sector output positively in Nigeria. The ECM's one-period lag coefficient was negative and significant at 0.05, indicating that service sector output adjusts to changes in explanatory variables and its own lag within a year. The ECMt-1 corrects 17.3% of the disequilibrium between static and short-run dynamic models of Service Sector Output (SSO) within a year on average. The study found that the service sector plays a crucial role in this developing economy's economic growth and development. It is an essential macroeconomic sector that can improve the economy's overall performance and influence the flow and direction of income as well as the Balance of Payments (BOP) position. According to the findings, the study suggests that the government should uphold financial responsibility and allocate more funds towards building necessary infrastructure to support the service sector's growth. This will ultimately improve the overall performance of the Nigerian economy.

Legal features of the military justice system of Ukraine: theoretical and applied aspect
Authors: BOHGUTSKYI P.
Published: September 2023

In the context of repelling Russian armed aggression against Ukraine, the issues of legal support of Ukraine's national security in general and military security in particular have become significantly more relevant. Among such questions, the question of the formation and organization of the military justice system of Ukraine is of great importance. The concept of the military justice system of Ukraine provides for the use of the historical experience of Ukraine, which is not limited to the Soviet period of the national legal system, but is based on the entire complex historical path of the development of the military organization of the state from the Cossack period, the period of the Ukrainian People's Republic, from the time of independence from 1991, takes into account the Constitution of Ukraine European and Euro-Atlantic vector of development of modern Ukraine enshrined in its Constitution. The concept of the military justice system of Ukraine should correspond to world experience, existing international standards of justice in the military sphere (defense sphere) and be based on the peculiarities of the national legal system, its regulatory, institutional and organizational components in combination with the peculiarities of the formation and implementation of the military policy of the state. A special characteristic of the military justice system of Ukraine should be a competent legal culture, which has signs of a strategic legal culture and requires appropriate training of specialists in the conditions of military service. A feature of the military justice system is the subject area of activity and legal regulation, which is the area of state defense, and if more broadly, taking into account the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On National Security of Ukraine” – the security and defense sector of Ukraine. The analysis of recognized international standards and national features allows us to define the system of military justice as a legal system that has special regulatory, specialized institutional components and operates using legal means and relevant legal procedures in the security and defense sector of the state to ensure justice and military security. The issue of the formation and organization of the military justice system of Ukraine is subject to urgent decision in the way of introducing legislative changes and transformation of the Military Service of Law and Order in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Military Police, formation of the Specialized Military Prosecutor's Office in the Prosecutor's Office system, military courts in the judicial system, specialized institute of providing legal assistance to servicemen, reservists, conscripts during military service.

Indonesia is a constitutional state (Rechtsstaat) that upholds the values of legal norms based on laws. Indonesia has the highest legal norms, namely Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Therefore, all forms of legislation that are made must not conflict with the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. in the Indonesian constitutional system experienced a very significant change. The implementation of direct and simultaneous elections in the post-reform era was held on April 17 2019, which is historical in the electoral process in Indonesia. This is an implication of the Constitutional Court Decision Number 14/PUU-XI/2013 concerning the judicial review case of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 42 of 2008 concerning the General Election of President and Vice President. directly by the people. Simultaneous election implementation which will be held in 2024, this has been stipulated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections and the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 10 of 2016 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 1 of 2015 Concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 1 of 2014 Concerning the Election of Governors, Regents and Mayors to Become Laws. The two laws mandate that in 2024 elections will be held simultaneously in 1 (one) year, namely presidential and vice-presidential elections, legislative elections and regional head elections. In addition, there is a provision regarding the presidential threshold that has existed since the 2004 election.

The latest survey on the level of public satisfaction with the performance of President Joko Widodo LSI April 2023 shows a figure of 82 percent, the Indonesian political indicators survey also recorded a figure of 79.2 SMRC shows a figure of 81.7 percent. This high public satisfaction is the question, how is the rhetoric and political communication carried out by the government in the practice of administering government, Aristotle's Rhetorical theory developed by Richard West and Lynn H Turner and the qualitative phenomenological approach used found that; The government's political rhetoric and communication combines the concepts of ethos, logos and pathos with leadership values developed by Ki Hajar Dewantara, namely Ing Ngarso Sung Tulodo, Ing Madyo Mangun Karso and Tut Wuri Handayani. The "ethos" of the government is seen as a person who is quite honest and has good intentions. to build the nation and state as an example, "logos", regarding evidence and claims about the efforts made by the government can be seen directly by the public, while from "pathos" shows feelings or emotions and the public's closeness to their leaders.
An Investigation on the Factors Influencing the Success and Failure of Co-Operatives in the Chris Hani District Municipality (CHDM), Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
Authors: Sabelo Raymond Peter
Published: September 2023

In an era when the level of unemployment and poverty continues to be a challenge in both developed and underdeveloped nations, many countries have identified the need to strengthen the legislative frameworks that perceive co-operatives as resilient, vibrant, and viable economic alternatives. However, there is a lot of literature pointing to the failure of co-operatives to live beyond five years. This study, hence, explored the factors that cause Co-operatives to fail despite the support received from governments. The study used a thematic analysis descriptive qualitative approach with data collected from five Co-operatives in the Chris Hani District Co-operatives in the Eastern Cape, Province South Africa. In-depth interviews were used in the study, as such, a narrative of verbatim accounts was used to derive themes and sub-themes for results analysis. The findings revealed countless aspects that hinder the progress of Co-operatives such as inadequacies associated with the lack of managerial skills for good governance, age gap among members and viewing the co-operative as just a project, not a business enterprise, political interference and infighting among members. The paper concluded that Co-operatives indeed offer a significant contribution to the socio-economic development and need to be effectively managed. The paper recommended that monitoring and evaluation instruments by funders and government departments responsible for registering and guiding co-operatives be developed. The study will help Co-operatives identify more ways of becoming successful and sustainable.

Impact of the Solar Activity on the Propagation of ICMEs: Simulations of Hydro, Magnetic and Median ICMEs at the Minimum and Maximum of Activity
Authors: Perri Barbara , Schmieder Brigitte , Démoulin Pascal , Poedts Stefaan , Regnault Florian
Published: September 2023

The propagation of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) in the heliosphere is influenced by many physical phenomena, related to the internal structure of the ICME and its interaction with the ambient solar wind and magnetic field. As the solar magnetic field is modulated by the 11 yr dynamo cycle, our goal is to perform a theoretical exploratory study to assess the difference of propagation of an ICME in typical minimum and maximum activity backgrounds. We define a median representative CME at 0.1 au, using both observations and numerical simulations, and describe it using a spheromak model. We use the heliospheric propagator EUropean Heliospheric FORecasting Information Asset to inject the same ICME in two different background wind environments. We then study how the environment and the internal CME structure impact the propagation of the ICME toward Earth, by comparison with an unmagnetized CME. At minimum of activity, the structure of the heliosphere around the ecliptic causes the ICME to slow down, creating a delay with the polar parts of the ejecta. This delay is more important if the ICME is faster. At maximum of activity, a southern coronal hole causes a northward deflection. For these cases, we always find that the ICME at the maximum of activity arrives first, while the ICME at the minimum of activity is actually more geoeffective. The sign of the helicity of the ICME is also a crucial parameter, but at the minimum of activity only, since it affects the magnetic profile and the arrival time up to 8 hr.
Global Electron Thermodynamics in Radiatively Inefficient Accretion Flows
Authors: Satapathy Kaushik , Psaltis Dimitrios , Özel Feryal
Published: September 2023

In the collisionless plasmas of radiatively inefficient accretion flows, heating and acceleration of ions and electrons are not well understood. Recent studies in the gyrokinetic limit revealed the importance of incorporating both the compressive and Alfvénic cascades when calculating the partition of dissipated energy between the plasma species. In this paper, we use a covariant analytic model of the accretion flow to explore the impact of compressive and Alfvénic heating, Coulomb collisions, compressional heating, and radiative cooling on the radial temperature profiles of ions and electrons. We show that, independent of the partition of heat between the plasma species, even a small fraction of turbulent energy dissipated to the electrons makes their temperature scale with a virial profile and the ion-to-electron temperature ratio smaller than in the case of pure Coulomb heating. In contrast, the presence of compressive cascades makes this ratio larger because compressive turbulent energy is channeled primarily into the ions. We calculate the ion-to-electron temperature in the inner accretion flow for a broad range of plasma properties, mass accretion rates, and black hole spins and show that it ranges between 5 ≲ T

i
/T

e
≲ 40. We provide a physically motivated expression for this ratio that can be used to calculate observables from simulations of black hole accretion flows for a wide range of conditions.

We conduct a systematic tidal disruption event (TDE) demographics analysis using the largest sample of optically selected TDEs. A flux-limited, spectroscopically complete sample of 33 TDEs is constructed using the Zwicky Transient Facility over 3 yr (from 2018 October to 2021 September). We infer the black hole (BH) mass (M

When were the First Exocontinents?
Authors: Greaves Jane S.
Published: September 2023

Earth’s biosphere was able to increase as continents emerged. I assess when continents could first appear on hypothetical rocky planets of nearby stars. Radiogenic heating of the planetary mantle is evaluated through stellar abundances of iron and silicon (core and mantle proxies) and thorium and potassium (mantle heating proxies). The heat per unit mantle mass is compared to a threshold on Earth after which large-scale continents appeared. Longer delays are inferred for some exoplanets, particularly those with high thorium, but earliest continents could have arisen 2 Gyr before those on Earth, among thin disk stars. In the thick disk, continents could appear 4–5 Gyr pre-Earth. Hence, subsolar-metalicity systems could be an important focus in searching for planets where life could be more advanced than on Earth. At least ∼2 worlds with such old continents are expected to be accessible to future space telescopes, such as Habitable Worlds Observatory.
Mapping between Darwin Core and the Australian Biodiversity Information Standard: A linked data example
Authors: Strong Mieke , Higgs Piers
Published: September 2023

The Australian Biodiversity Information Standard (ABIS) is a data standard that has been developed to represent and exchange biodiversity data expressed using the Resource Description Framework (RDF). ABIS has the TERN ontology at its core, which is a conceptual information model that represents plot-based ecological surveys. The RDF-linked data structure is self-describing, composed of “triples”. This format is quite different from tabular data. During the Australian federal government Biodiversity Data Repository pilot project, occurrence data in tabular Darwin Core format was converted into ABIS linked data. This lightning talk will describe the approach taken, the challenges that arose, and the ways in which data using Darwin Core terms can be represented in a different way using linked data technologies.
Clinical Improvement in Early-Onset Interstitial Lung Disease Using Rituximab in Children With Antimelanoma Differentiation-Associated Gene 5–Positive Juvenile Dermatomyositis
Authors: Peskin Malki , Mostowy Marilyn , Velez Jennifer , Perron Megan , Kurian Jessica , Wahezi Dawn M.
Published: September 2023

Objective

Children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and antibodies to antimelanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (anti-MDA5) are at increased risk of severe disease complications, including interstitial lung disease (ILD). Data regarding treatment of disease complications in this patient population are limited. In this study, we examined the disease course of children with JDM and anti-MDA5 antibodies before and after treatment with rituximab (RTX).

Methods

Patients aged 2-21 years and seen at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore between July 2012 and August 2021, with a diagnosis of JDM, positive anti-MDA5 antibodies, and evidence of ILD, and who were treated with RTX were eligible for inclusion. Retrospective clinical and laboratory data were reviewed.

Results

Five of 8 patients with positive anti-MDA5 antibodies had evidence of ILD (62.5%). Four patients had data available for review. All patients received at least 5 courses of RTX infusions, with discontinuation of steroids by an average of 12 months after starting RTX and a decrease to fewer than 2 concurrent medications by the fifth course of RTX. Indicators of ILD on high-resolution computed tomography and pulmonary function tests either improved or fully resolved over the course of RTX treatment for all patients. Patients also demonstrated resolution of active cutaneous manifestations and musculoskeletal disease activity.

Conclusion

To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the use of RTX in children with JDM and anti-MDA5 antibodies, with notable improvements in ILD, cutaneous, and musculoskeletal manifestations. Further studies are needed to better understand the efficacy of RTX for JDM disease-related complications.
Le processus, entre réforme et révolution : penser les médiations du changement social
Authors: Bouffard Alix
Published: September 2023

Le lexique du « processus », lorsqu’il est mobilisé pour penser la manière dont la société se transforme, semble difficilement compatible avec la perspective d’un changement social radical, et plus encore avec la défense d’une stratégie révolutionnaire : marqué par le développement des théories évolutionnistes, il est associé à un changement continu, progressif et lent. Cependant, à la croisée des héritages de la philosophie hégélienne et des théorisations de Marx et Engels, l’approche processuelle de la réalité sociale a également été présentée par certains philosophes du xxe siècle comme le corrélat théorique indispensable à tout projet de transformation sociale radicale. Cet article examine quelques-uns des principaux philosophes qui se sont appuyés sur l’approche processuelle dans cette perspective et ont repensé grâce à elle l’alternative entre réforme et révolution : John Dewey, Georg Lukács et Jean-Paul Sartre.
À rebours et à tâtons. Ce qui reste des luttes de Lip dans Les Yeux Rouges De dominique Féret
Authors: Talbot Armelle
Published: September 2023

Ancien fleuron de l’industrie horlogère, Lip est une manufacture bisontine connue pour les conflits sociaux retentissants dont elle fut le théâtre en 1973-1974 puis en 1976-1977, et se dota très vite d’une aura légendaire à laquelle participèrent de nombreuses productions culturelles et artistiques contemporaines des événements. Le temps passant, l’intervention fit place à la rétrospection : de nouvelles œuvres s’employèrent à revisiter cette histoire, tendues entre le mythe et ses angles morts, la commémoration et le souvenir. Publiée en 1998, Les Yeux rouges de Dominique Féret est l’une des premières à s’inscrire dans cet après-coup. Composée de quatre entretiens avec d’anciens protagonistes des luttes de Lip, cette pièce en dit au moins tout autant sur le passé que sur le présent qui se tourne vers lui et traduit l’inflexion que connaît tout un pan du théâtre européen des années 2000, marqué par la résurgence de la question sociale mais aussi par des modulations pathétiques qui tendent à sa dépolitisation.
Singer’s embroidery department as an enterprise of beauty
Authors: de la Cruz-Fernández Paula A.
Published: September 2023

Le rôle des entreprises et des organisations dans l’élaboration des tendances et des préférences esthétiques des consommateurs ne se limite pas à l’industrie de la beauté. L’histoire du Département artistique, une unité de la Singer Sewing Machine Company dont le personnel était majoritairement féminin, met en lumière le rôle crucial que jouent souvent les consommateurs et les marchés dans le design des produits. Créé dans les années 1870 aux débuts du développement de Singer, le Département artistique a élaboré diverses stratégies pour commercialiser les machines à coudre et inciter les particuliers et les ménages à les acheter. Les employées qui formaient la majorité du personnel de ce département créaient des modèles, concevaient de nouveaux produits et fournissaient des instructions sur l’utilisation des machines à coudre pour créer des broderies destinées à la décoration intérieure et à l’ornementation des vêtements. Ce faisant, les représentantes de vente, qui bien souvent n’étaient pas directement salariées de Singer, comblaient le fossé entre l’art, l’industrie et la domesticité et elles contribuèrent à positionner la multinationale comme un acteur clé dans les définitions culturelles et esthétiques de la beauté et de l’ornementation, qui furent à la fois globales et localisées. La beauté est donc « gérée », comme l’ont démontré les spécialistes de l’histoire des entreprises. Cependant l’attention portée à l’industrie cosmétique et à la marchandisation des soins corporels et de l’embellissement a laissé de côté d’importants espaces où la beauté est également définie et où les entreprises ont joué un rôle majeur. Cet article élargit l’analyse des entreprises de la beauté en explorant le rôle des entreprises et de leurs acteurs dans le façonnement des préférences esthétiques dans des domaines moins visibles de la maison, à savoir la décoration intérieure et la confection. Les stratégies de marketing mises en œuvre par la Singer Sewing Machine Company pendant plus de sept décennies visaient à répondre aux sensibilités esthétiques et aux attentes culturelles des consommateurs, au-delà des aspects fonctionnels et économiques de leurs machines à coudre, tels que la vitesse et l’utilité. Dans un premier temps, l’article retrace l’histoire du Département artistique et examine les sources disponibles pour l’étudier. Ensuite, en s’appuyant sur des exemples provenant du monde entier, l’article étudie les principales stratégies conçues et créées par le personnel de Singer. En conclusion, l’article offre une réflexion sur la gestion de la beauté comme industrie globale et son influence significative sur des aspects plus vastes de la vie quotidienne.
Enterrement dans des cimetières privés versus rapatriement : un tournant dans les pratiques funéraires des marocains en Espagne ?
Authors: Moreras Jordi
Published: September 2023

La pandémie a mis en suspens le rapatriement des défunts, principale pratique funéraire des Marocains vivant en Espagne. L’urgence de trouver un lieu de sépulture dans les rares carrés musulmans présents dans les cimetières municipaux a alimenté l’initiative privée de créer un cimetière pour les communautés musulmanes. L’exemple du cimetière privé de Chiva (Valence) a été un tournant dans le modèle d’enterrement musulman, que les représentants musulmans veulent reproduire dans les cimetières municipaux. Dans ce contexte, la possibilité de changer la tendance au rapatriement des défunts au Maroc et d’ouvrir l’alternative de l’enterrement en Espagne est ouverte.
« Une mort surréaliste ». Familles immigrées endeuillées par les morts de Covid-19

Published: September 2023

Les populations immigrées de la Seine-Saint-Denis en France ont été particulièrement affectées par la Covid-19 provoquant des morts perçues comme « brutales ». Le contexte des deuils, en pleine crise sanitaire, a pu compliquer ces derniers. À partir de l’analyse du dispositif « Familles endeuillées » du Centre Régional de Psychotraumatisme de Paris Nord, la présente étude se propose d’investiguer l’impact traumatique des mesures sanitaires prises pendant le premier confinement. Elle fait le lien entre la mort de Covid-19 et la migration : cette dernière est-elle un facteur compliquant le deuil ou à l’inverse une ressource culturelle facilitatrice du deuil ?
Mourir des traques policières dans la montagne en France

Published: September 2023

Blessing Matthew, jeune Nigériane de vingt ans, meurt noyée dans la montagne près de Briançon en 2018, en tentant d’échapper aux traques policières alors qu’elle vient de franchir la frontière française. Les associations solidaires de Briançon, à l’encontre des politiques publiques, vont non seulement lui rendre hommage, mais mener une enquête de long terme sur les circonstances de sa mort, que l’institution policière comme l’institution judiciaire tentent d’occulter. Cette mort tragique d’une exilée met ainsi en évidence les mensonges d’État concernant les violences de la police aux frontières, mais aussi le double langage institutionnel masquant les effets néocoloniaux de pratiques racistes meurtrières sous une rhétorique de la sécurité.

Une domination biomédicale dans le monde des soins infirmiers : contribution pour une émancipation infirmière
Authors: Lepage Heidi , Vonarx Nicolas
Published: September 2023

La pratique des soins infirmiers et les savoirs qui la supportent se sont développés en étroite proximité avec les pratiques/savoirs biomédicaux et les médecins. Cette relation interprofessionnelle et interdisciplinaire peut être analysée à partir d’une lecture critique et postcoloniale qui s’inscrit dans une quête d’émancipation et d’affirmation d’un espace disciplinaire infirmier, à la fois académique et professionnel. Ce texte emprunte cette voie et met en évidence comment des motifs biomédicaux se retrouvent au sein d’un espace de pratiques et de savoirs infirmiers. Il présente notamment des rapports de pouvoir évidents entre médecins et infirmiers, des relations patriarcales et de genre, des conflits dans la définition du rôle infirmier. Il permet de comprendre les visées d’une approche postcoloniale et sa pertinence pour analyser la discipline et la profession infirmières.
Hannah Arendt antimoderne ? Lectures et interprétations
Authors: Ottavi Dominique
Published: September 2023

Le style du texte de Hannah Arendt « La crise de l’éducation » peut dissimuler la complexité de sa pensée. C’est pourquoi différentes lectures ont pu être faites, particulièrement en France, où cet écrit s’est trouvé en résonance avec l’actualité. Arendt oppose aux expérimentations de l’éducation progressive aux États-Unis des caractéristiques constantes de l’éducation. Parce qu’elle ne rentre pas dans les détails du « pathos de la nouveauté » qu’elle dénonce, on peut être tenté de considérer Arendt comme antimoderne. Cependant, à la lecture des interprétations qui ont été faites, on peut voir que, si Arendt a pu conforter le sentiment d’une crise de l’éducation entretenue par la pédagogie moderne, les enjeux politiques sont plus profonds. Dans le domaine éducatif, Jean Lombard, Claude Lefort, Jean-Pierre Lebrun offrent une alternative à la réduction du texte à sa composante antimoderne. En amont de la crise éprouvée, il faut repenser la notion de formation, les racines de la crise de l’autorité, et la manière dont la philosophie se forge à l’épreuve des événements.
« Personne n’a le droit d’obéir » : l’autorité de la responsabilité et du désir
Authors: Weber Jean-Marie
Published: September 2023

La conception de l’autorité a changé au cours des siècles passés. Hannah Arendt, après avoir analysé cette évolution, considérait que l’autorité en crise serait à redéfinir. À la suite du choc des totalitarismes, mais aussi des bouleversements que constituait la modernité, elle a élaboré des pistes pour fonder l’autorité sur la responsabilité vis-à-vis du monde. Arendt refusait de prendre en compte l’inconscient dans ses réflexions. Malgré sa position, nous allons montrer que les réflexions de Freud et de Lacan ne divergent pas tellement de l’approche de la philosophe. Nous souhaitons illustrer dans notre proposition comment une approche clinique de la relation entre l’enseignant et l’apprenant peut permettre à l’adulte de soutenir le jeune sans empêcher sa liberté de penser et de s’engager d’une façon responsable dans ce monde, ni même sans sacrifier son désir et son souhait de désobéir. C’est dans ce sens que nous aborderons le concept d’autorité et que nous proposerons un rapprochement entre la pensée de la philosophe et l’approche psychanalytique freudienne.

Published: September 2023

This work concerns a comparative experimental study of cooling PV panels by free and forced convection and using finned plates. To this end, four prototypes are considered: the first one with a PV panel alone without cooling techniques, the second one consists of a PV panel with a rectangular finned plate attached to its rear surface and cooled by free convection, a third prototype consists of a PV panel cooled by forced convection by three axial-flow fans and a fourth prototype consists of a PV panel with a rectangular finned plate attached to its rear surface and cooled by forced convection by three axial-flow fans. Results showed an increase of 3.01% in the efficiency of the PV panel with finned plate under forced convection, an increase of 2.55% in the efficiency of the PV panel with finned plate under free convection and an increase of 2.10% in the efficiency of the PV panel under forced convection. Economic and environmental studies are also conducted and estimations of savings per year and amount of carbon dioxide emission reductions are provided.

Let $ H $ be a connected graph. The edge revised Szeged index of $ H $ is defined as $ Sz^{\ast}_{e}(H) = \sum\limits_{e = uv\in E_H}(m_{u}(e|H)+\frac{m_{0}(e|H)}{2})(m_{v}(e|H)+\frac{m_{0}(e|H)}{2}) $, where $ m_{u}(e|H) $ (resp., $ m_{v}(e|H) $) is the number of edges whose distance to vertex $ u $ (resp., $ v $) is smaller than to vertex $ v $ (resp., $ u $), and $ m_{0}(e|H) $ is the number of edges equidistant from $ u $ and $ v $. In this paper, the extremal unicyclic graphs with given diameter and minimum edge revised Szeged index are characterized.
Extended Perron complements of M-matrices
Authors: Zhong Qin , Zhao Chunyan
Published: September 2023

This paper aims to consider the extended Perron complements for the collection of M-matrices. We first exhibit the connection between the extended Perron complements of M-matrices and nonnegative matrices. Moreover, we present some common inequalities involving extended Perron complements, Schur complements, and principal submatrices of irreducible M-matrices by utilizing the properties of M-matrices. We also discuss the monotonicity of the extended Perron complements and minimum eigenvalue. For the collection of M-matrices, we demonstrate that all (extended) Perron complements are M-matrices. Especially, we deduce that M-matrices and their Perron complements share the same minimum eigenvalue. Finally, a simple example is presented to illustrate our findings.

We provide a number of sharp inequalities involving the usual operator norms of Hilbert space operators and powers of the numerical radii. Based on the traditional convexity inequalities for nonnegative real numbers and some generalize earlier numerical radius inequalities, operator. Precisely, we prove that if $ {\bf A}_i, {\bf B}_i, {\bf X}_i\in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}) $ ($ i = 1, 2, \cdots, n $), $ m\in \mathbb N $, $ p, q > 1 $ with $ \frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q} = 1 $ and $ \phi $ and $ \psi $ are non-negative functions on $ [0, \infty) $ which are continuous such that $ \phi(t)\psi(t) = t $ for all $ t \in [0, \infty) $, then

   \begin{document}$ \begin{equation*} w^{2r}\left({\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n} {\bf X}_i {\bf A}_i^m {\bf B}_i}\right)\leq \frac{n^{2r-1}}{m}\sum\limits_{j = 1}^{m}\left\Vert{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}\frac{1}{p}S_{i, j}^{pr}+\frac{1}{q}T_{i, j}^{qr}}\right\Vert-r_0\inf\limits_{\left\Vert{\xi}\right\Vert = 1}\rho(\xi), \end{equation*} $\end{document}

Some new results on sum index and difference index
Authors: Zhang Yuan , Wang Haiying
Published: September 2023

Let $ G = (V(G), E(G)) $ be a graph with a vertex set $ V(G) $ and an edge set $ E(G) $. For every injective vertex labeling $ f:V\left (G \right)\to \mathbb{Z} $, there are two induced edge labelings denoted by $ f^{+} :E\left (G \right)\to \mathbb{Z} $ and $ f^{-} :E\left (G \right)\to \mathbb{Z} $. These two edge labelings $ f^{+} $ and $ f^{-} $ are defined by $ f^{+}(uv) = f(u)+f(v) $ and $ f^{-}(uv) = \left |f(u)-f(v)\right | $ for each $ uv\in E(G) $ with $ u, v\in V(G) $. The sum index and difference index of $ G $ are induced by the minimum ranges of $ f^{+} $ and $ f^{-} $, respectively. In this paper, we obtain the properties of sum and difference index labelings. We also improve the bounds on the sum indices and difference indices of regular graphs and induced subgraphs of graphs. Further, we determine the sum and difference indices of various families of graphs such as the necklace graphs and the complements of matchings, cycles and paths. Finally, we propose some conjectures and questions by comparison.
How Do Equity Market Performance and ICT Influence Clean Energy Consumption in High-Income Countries?
Authors: Avci Pınar
Published: September 2023

The aim of this study is to examine whether equity market development and ICT affect clean energy consumption in 18 high-income countries during the period 1990-2015. In the analysis, firstly, the stationarity properties of the variables are tested with the CADF and CIPS tests. In the second stage, cointegration between the variables in the model is investigated by Westerlund, Kao, and Pedroni methods. In the next step, the long-run elasticities of the variables are estimated using the PCSE and FGLS methods. The causality between the variables is also determined by applying the Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality method. According to findings, cointegration between clean energy consumption and equity market development, ICT, economic growth, and CO2 emissions variables, which integrated at I(1) level, is proven. The long-term findings showed that the equity market, ICT, and economic growth encourage clean energy consumption of 18 high-income countries, and CO2 emissions also prevent them. In addition, there is bidirectional causality between clean energy consumption and other variables.

Environmental problems have become prime global challenges, and in developing countries like India, there is a need for high attention to curb these problems. These problems bring unsustainable economic and environmental development, and global sustainable growth has been a major concern of G-20 countries. For this purpose, in every economy, the business organizations, producers, and consumers can play their roles to protect the environment through their business and buying activities. Manufactures and businesses can play vital roles through production of green product and green marketing activities, and buyers can play their role through demanding such product as these products are proven to be good for the environment as well as for the health for consumers and also attract maximum profit for the business organizations. Marketers can target young consumers aged between 11-26 called “Z-Generation” consumers because they are kind of consumers who are more aware of the environmental issues and express their will to protect mother nature.

Published: September 2023

Housewife plays a significant role in maintaining a health family life. If she can not function adequately due to high stress, it will affect quality of life of the household members. It also interferes with the normal process of family development. Futhermore, dysfunctional family will have effects on morale of the servicemen in military.This is a descriptive study. The main purpose of this study is to compare the level and types of stress between a group of military wives and a group of civilian wives and provide a data which can be used to develop a stress management program.Sample consist with 250 military wives and 250 civilian wives residing in metro Seoul area. Data collection was done during October 4, 1994-November 30, 1994. Stress was measured with the instrument developed by the researcher. The cronbach's alpha score of the instrument was .91. The data was analyzed by using SPSS-PC.The results of this study are : 1. The stress score was 47.09 for military wives, 36.56 for civilian wives. The range of score was 0-192. The stress level of military wives was greater than civilian wives. (t=4.80, P<.000) 2. The rank order of stressors of military wives were 1) move 2) residential environment 3) purchase of house 4) holidays. The rank order of stressors of civilian wives were 1) husband late return after work 2) arguments with husband 3) holidays 4) husband's drinking problem.The result shows that the main stressors of military wives are frequent moves, residential environment, uncertainty of the future, unsafe work environment of husband, and the lack of private life which are all associated with the military. Therefore, it is urgently needed to distribute this facts through military journal to understand the characteristic of the stress of military wives, and to develope appropriate health care program to lessen the stress.
