Styling Sagaciousness
Authors: Nechvatal Joseph
Published: June 2024

During the Paris pandemic confinement period of 2020, with the dread of viral death in the air, artist Joseph Nechvatal finished his second book of poetry, titled Styling Sagaciousness: Oh Great No!

The mythopoeic mélange of Styling Sagaciousness is intended as a complicated forensic fairy-tale, suitable for Nô theater, which keeps slipping in and out of idiosyncratic narration, a ghostly appearance-disappearance act that turns on the nub of our narcissism concerning our death – that strange, incurable, and deeply irrational affliction we all share. Putting identity aside, Nechvatal's poetry tests the limits of form and stretches the bounds of meaning by recasting our experiences of encountering our self as the sumptuous physicality of total negation. As such, Styling Sagaciousness delivers an airy irrational punch of needed nonsensical negation by tying together insouciant informality with a visceral camp irony: at turns hip and flamboyant and morally outrageous.

This seven-part death farce epic poem follows up Nechvatal's sex farce epic poem Destroyer of Naivetés. Nechvatal intends these two books (with complementary cover images of his painting penelOpe in agOny) to be the sum total of his mature poetic output; addressing first Eros, and then, with Styling Sagaciousness, Thanatos.

Objective: This report describes the epidemiology of active tuberculosis (TB) in elderly Australians (>=65 years) with analysis of the factors associated with TB disease and successful treatment outcomes. Methods: A retrospective study of TB cases reported to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System over a 10-year period from 2011 to 2020 was conducted. Cases were stratified by sex, age, risk factors, drug resistance, treatment type and outcome. Notification rates and incidence rate ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated and factors associated with treatment success analysed using multivariable logistic regression. Results: A total of 2231 TB cases among elderly people were reported over the study period, with a 10-year mean incidence rate of 6.2 per 100 000 population. The median age of cases was 75 years (range 65–100 years); most were male (65%) and born overseas (85%). Multivariable analysis found that successful treatment outcome was strongly associated with younger age, while unsuccessful treatment outcome was associated with being diagnosed within the first 2 years of arrival in Australia, ever having resided in an aged-care facility and resistance to fluoroquinolones. Discussion: Compared to other low-incidence settings in the Western Pacific Region, TB incidence in elderly people is low and stable in Australia, with most cases occurring among recent migrants from TB-endemic settings. Continued efforts to reduce TB importation and address migrant health, especially among elderly people, are important.

Objective: A study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among children and their mothers on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands two decades after routine vaccination was introduced in the 1990s. Mothers’ knowledge and attitudes towards HBV disease and vaccination were also assessed. Methods: Results of a national seroprevalence survey conducted in 2016–2017 and antenatal records were used to determine the prevalence of HBV seropositivity in children aged 6–8 years and their biological mothers. The associations between demographic, social and vaccination-related factors and seropositivity were explored using Fisher’s exact tests. Results: HBV seroprevalence was 0.3% in children and 6.8% in their mothers (during pregnancy). Coverage of timely HBV vaccination was 90.3% for the birth dose and was significantly associated with factors related to place of residence (P < 0.001), place of birth (P < 0.001) and number of antenatal visits (P < 0.001). Maternal attitudes towards infant vaccination and antenatal screening were largely positive (95.8% and 96.7%, respectively) despite low vaccination rates (20.9%) among mothers. Knowledge levels were low for disease complications, treatment and transmission. Discussion: Prevalence of HBV in children and mothers residing on Kwajalein Atoll in 2016–2017 was lower than the national average for the Marshall Islands. Timely birth dose administration appears to have been effective in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HBV in this setting and should be promoted in remote settings where antiviral therapy is not available. Provision of out-of-cold-chain HBV vaccines should be considered to improve access in remote settings.

Early diagnosis and treatment of infectious tuberculosis (TB) is essential to the attainment of global targets specified in the End TB Strategy. Using case-based TB surveillance data, we analysed delays in health seeking, diagnosis and treatment among TB patients in Mongolia from 2018 to 2021. We calculated the median and interquartile range (IQR) for “diagnostic delay”, defined as the time from symptom onset to diagnosis, subdivided into “health-seeking delay” (time from symptom onset to first visit to a health facility) and “health facility diagnostic delay” (time from first health facility visit to diagnosis), and for “treatment delay”, defined as the time from diagnosis to start of treatment. We also calculated “total delay”, defined as the time from symptom onset to treatment start. Based on data for 13 968 registered TB patients, the median total delay was estimated to be 37 days (IQR, 19–76). This was mostly due to health-seeking delay (median, 23 days; IQR, 8–53); in contrast, health facility diagnostic delay and treatment delay were relatively short (median, 1 day; IQR, 0–7; median, 1 day; IQR, 0–7, respectively). In 2021, health-seeking delay did not differ significantly between men and women but was shorter in children than in adults and shorter in clinically diagnosed than in bacteriologically confirmed TB cases. Health-seeking delay was longest in the East region (median, 44.5 days; IQR, 20–87) and shortest in Ulaanbaatar (median, 9; IQR, 14–64). TB treatment delay was similar across sexes, age groups and types of TB diagnosis but slightly longer among retreated cases and people living in Ulaanbaatar. Efforts to reduce TB transmission in Mongolia should prioritize decreasing delays in health seeking.

Objective: To identify progress and challenges in the national response to tuberculosis (TB) in Solomon Islands through an epidemiological overview of TB in the country. Methods: A descriptive analysis was conducted using the national TB surveillance data for 2016–2022. Case notifications, testing data, treatment outcomes and screening activities were analysed. Results: The number of case notifications was 343 in 2022, with an average annual reduction of the case notification rate between 2016 and 2022 of 4.7%. The highest case notification rate was reported by Honiara City Council (126/100 000 population) in 2022. The number of people with presumptive TB tested by Xpert® rapidly increased from zero in 2016 to 870 in 2022. Treatment success rate remained consistently high between 2016 and 2022, ranging from 92% to 96%. Screening for HIV and diabetes mellitus (DM) among TB patients in 2022 was 14% and 38%, respectively. Most patients (97%) were hospitalized during the intensive phase of treatment in 2022; in contrast, during the continuation phase, the proportion of patients treated at the community level increased from 1% in 2016 to 63% in 2022. Despite an increase in household contact investigations, from 381 in 2016 to 707 in 2021, the uptake of TB preventive treatment (TPT) was minimal (7% among eligible child contacts). Discussion: This epidemiological analysis in Solomon Islands reveals both notable achievements and challenges in the country’s TB programme. One major achievement is a potential actual reduction in TB incidence. Challenges identified were potential underdetection of cases in rural areas, suboptimal community-based care, and insufficient contact tracing and uptake of TPT. It is crucial to address these challenges (e.g. by optimizing resources) to advance the national TB response.
Gobernanza hídrica y acción climática: una perspectiva experimental desde el corredor seco hondureño
Authors: Loaiza Briceño Santiago David , Sanders Arie , Carcamo Jorge
Published: June 2024

La variabilidad climática y la escasa irrigación afectan los medios de vida de hogares rurales en países en vías de desarrollo. Por ello, agencias de desarrollo trabajan en medidas de adaptación climática como la instalación de sistemas de riego por goteo en contextos de pobreza. Estas infraestructuras requieren de grupos de agricultores organizados para gestionar el funcionamiento, mantenimiento y distribución del recurso común. En este artículo se analizaron los resultados de un experimento de campo para evaluar el desempeño institucional de comités de riego y la capacidad de sus usuarios para resolver problemas de acción colectiva en un dilema de irrigación. Los resultados sugieren que la permanencia de los grupos depende de la superación de problemas estructurales no contempladas por los implementadores y beneficiarios. Además, el incremento de espacios de interacción y comunicación es una alternativa para formar capital social y solucionar la inequidad causada por la incertidumbre climática.

Diphtheria is a serious, potentially fatal infectious disease in susceptible individuals. Diphtheria is caused
by the toxin produced by strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae and/or C. ulcerans or C. pseudotuberculosis.
The number of cases of diphtheria is relatively low in many European countries due to the functioning of
vaccination programs, but diphtheria may now return due to the increase in the number of unvaccinated
people, largely due to the increase in refusal and population migration. We would like to draw attention to
the phenomenon described in Europe that can also manifest itself in our country, namely the increase in the
number of diphtheria cases in the context of population migration induced by the war in Ukraine.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection produced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis affecting multiple organs, but mainly the lungs. Despite sustained efforts to eradicate it, tuberculosis still represents the leading cause of death by infectious disease. Air pollution represents the contamination of the environment with various chemical or physical agents that cause almost 7 million premature deaths every year. The highest pollution is reported in developing countries, where the low socioeconomic status also predisposes to higher incidences of tuberculosis. There is limited data on the connection between air pollution and the development of TB. This review aims to synthesize the existing literature on this subject. The incidence of tuberculosis and pollution have been significantly positively associated during the past few years, according to an increasing number of articles. Additionally, in vitro experiments were successful in demonstrating the pathophysiological mechanisms that may underlie this link. As a result, it has been established that particulate matters (PM) reduce the ability of T-cells and alveolar macrophages to protect against M. tuberculosis. The pollutants that have received the greatest criticism thus far are particulate matter (PM) PM2.5 and PM10, SO2 , and NO2 . While the latter two still show mixed results, some researchers argue for their preventive effects via the antimicrobial impact, while others see them as risk factors, the former have significant evidence supporting their involvement in the development of tuberculosis. Despite recent studies slightly tipping the balance towards the existence of a significant connection between air pollution and the development of tuberculosis, it is too early to draw any definitive conclusions, as we are still facing important levels of uncertainty and heterogeneity among the results of the studies. Thus, we consider that larger-scale studies are urgently needed to finally shed some light on a pressing matter that could result in a dramatic change in perspective of our outlook on pollution and tuberculosis as well.

Infection of the hip by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a rare yet serious condition that can result in significant pain and impaired physical function. This case report outlines the clinical manifestation and treatment of a 50-year-old patient experiencing hip discomfort and functional impotence. The patient's left lower extremity exhibited adduction and flexion of the thigh relative to the pelvis, resulting in severe pain and immobility. The hip infection has been attributed to M. tuberculosis following an extensive clinical evaluation and research. The medical recommendation was to undergo a twostage hip arthroplasty procedure. During the initial stage of treatment, the contaminated prosthesis was extracted, and the infectious outbreak was thoroughly sanitized. Subsequently, a cement spacer was introduced to maintain the space between the surfaces of the hip joint and prevent additional infection. Despite its challenging and invasive nature, the twostage hip arthroplasty procedure is an effective treatment choice for hip infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The case report highlights the importance of promptly identifying and treating hip infections in patients caused by uncommon bacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Infection of the hip caused by M. tuberculosis is infrequent but perilous, necessitating prompt treatment. Two-stage hip arthroplasty is a beneficial therapeutic choice that should be considered for patients with suspected hip infections.

Los tumores neuroendocrinos hipofisarios, representan el 10-15% de los tumores primarios intracraneales, mientras que los carcinomas pituitarios son prevalentes en 0,1-1% de los casos. Los tumores neuroendocrinos de hipófisis pueden ser clasificados de diferentes formas incluyendo su tamaño, invasión a estructuras anexas u  hormona secretada, siendo estas características las que definen la clínica que va a  presentar el paciente. Actualmente, el diagnóstico de estos tumores ha sido favorecido por los avances tecnológicos en imágenes intracraneales, lo cual permite la detección incidental, así como el desarrollo de pruebas hormonales. El manejo puede ser quirúrgico, siendo la cirugía transesfenoidal endoscópica la primera línea, así como médico, siendo el tipo de tumor el que defina la conducta terapéutica a seguir.
Introducing Spaced Repetition Software (SRS) for vocabulary acquisition in a university-level Arabic language course: A case study
Authors: Jorgensen Cory
Published: June 2024

Spaced repetition (SR) is a proven memory technique, yet few L2 classrooms implement it for vocabulary acquisition and retention. This paper details a case study that introduced spaced repetition software (SRS) for L2 vocabulary acquisition in a university Arabic language course. The paper analyzes the results of a questionnaire about the effectiveness of SRS distributed to twenty-two beginning Arabic students at a major university who were required to use the method for vocabulary acquisition. A discussion of the theoretical benefits of SRS versus actual classroom results follows. The paper concludes with a reflection on various problems encountered, including student motivation, and makes recommendations for introducing SRS in the L2 classroom based on the experiment.

Effect of Gandira (Coleus forskohlii Willd Briq) moola churna on Incipient Diabetic Nephropathy-A quasi experimental pilot clinical trial.
Authors: Patil Rashmi , Tubaki Basavaraj , Sharma Oshin
Published: June 2024

Background: Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of diabetes mellitus-related to morbidity and mortality. This study explores efficacy of Ayurvedic medicine, Gandira (Coleus forskohlii Willd Briq) moola churna in management of Incipient Diabetic Nephropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM). Incipient nephropathy is the early stage of nephropathy with low amount of microalbuminuria (30–299 mg/24 hours).
Materials and Methods: Study is a quasi experimental pilot study, single group, pre post design, in which placebo intervention (n=14) was followed by test intervention (n=10). Fourteen patients of T2 DM with microalbuminuria on stable anti diabetic medications in the age group of 30-70 years of either sex were enrolled. Intervention was with placebo (starch) 500mg capsules twice a day for 90 days. Micro albuminuria assessed at 90th day showed to be positive in 10 patients and were diagnosed as early onset diabetic nephropathy and were intervened with Gandira (Coleus forskohlii Willd Briq) moola Churna 2.5gms twice a day with warm water before food for next 90 days. The primary assessment parameter was Urine microalbuminuria and Cystatin-c and secondary assessments were with fasting, post prandial blood sugar other subjective assessments like Atisweda (Excess sweating), Fatigue, Asyamadhuryam (Sweet taste in oral cavity), Karadaha (burning sensation in palm), Padadaha (burning sensation in foot), Jiwhopadeham (Excess tongue secretions), Sheetapriyatwam (liking for cold temperatures), Mukha shosham (Mouth dryness), Gauravata (Heaviness of body). Follow up were done on 30th, 60th, 90th, 120th, 150th and 180th days.
Results: Intervention with Gandira showed significant improvement in primary criteria of Urine microalbuminuria [p <0.001, p=0.003 (90-180 days), p<0.001 (0-180 days)], and Cystatin-c test (p<0.001) and other secondary parameters like Atisweda (p=0.03), Fatigue (p=0.01), Jiwhopadeham (p=0.01), Sheeta priyatwam (p=0.008), Mukha shosha, (p=0.008), Asyamadhuryam (p=0.03), Karadaha (p=0.03), Padadaha (p=0.01), Guravata (p=0.03).
Conclusion: Coleus forskohlli Willd Briq showed beneficial effect in patients of Incipient Diabetic Nephropathy. However limitations of the study are small sample, single group, non randomised design, lack of assessments through GFR and HbA1C
A cross-sectional survey to develop, validate and verify a questionnaire to assess the asthikhaya in postmenopausal osteoporotic women
Authors: Thankachan Dr , Kulkarni Dr , H Dr
Published: June 2024

Globally life expectancy is increasing and Osteoporosis is becoming a worldwide growing health problem, especially in post-menopausal women. It is a major health problem in India also. Studies show that 61 million people are affected with Osteoporosis in India. Among them 80% are females. The earlier researches show that loss of BMD is more in an early menopausal woman when compared to normal and late menopausal women. Usually, Osteoporosis may not be diagnosed in the early stages as it will not exhibit any prominent symptoms in the early stages. Hence there is an increased risk of morbidity and mortality followed by recurrent falls in elderly aged people.
Pre-screening ladies with early menopause can reduce the rate of osteoporosis and thereby can reduce the risk of fracture and overall socio-economic burden. Traditionally, we use bone mineral density (BMD) to diagnose and monitor osteoporosis and osteopenia. But such diagnostic measures may not be always affordable for the common man. Hence the present study is aimed to develop and validate the Asthidhatukshaya(reduction of bone tissue)assessment questionnaire and to evaluate the questionnaire by assessing the asthikshaya in patients of the post-menopausal stage diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia. The content validity of the questionnaire was good and had strong internal consistency. The clinical utility of the developed questionnaire was also assessed in osteoporotic postmenopausal women. The high content validity and consistency indicate the questionnaire may be used to screen asthikshaya in post-menopausal ladies and thereby can reduce the risk of fracture after assessing in a larger sample
Fictions biographiques contemporaines : Oscar Wilde narrativisé
Authors: Joris Kirby
Published: June 2024

Cet article se penche sur des « author fictions » contemporaines se focalisant sur la vie d’Oscar Wilde et s’intéresse plus particulièrement aux diverses formes narratives que ces récits à la première personne mettent en évidence. Ainsi, il sera question d’un roman-mémoire (journal intime), d’une lettre fictive, d’un roman épistolaire, d’une interview fictive et d’une biographie en série. Le travail de mémoire et de reconstruction à l’œuvre dans ces biofictions nous informe tout en nous divertissant, et nous permet de nous rapprocher plus aisément de cette figure haute en couleurs, aux facettes des plus variées, qu’était Oscar Wilde. Ces nombreuses versions de sa vie, ces témoignages, ces travaux de réécriture, ces jeux de questions-réponses déployés par les narrateurs – les ‘je‘ de ces récits, viennent apporter leur propre pierre au monument de fait et de fiction que fut l’Oscar Wilde historique, tout en laissant le champ libre à d’autres réinterprétations, à d’autres réappropriations.
Pour une (re)définition du messianisme polonais. Le cas d’Andrzej Towiański
Authors: Lambert Jeremy
Published: June 2024

Andrzej Towiański (1799-1878) est un penseur romantique polonais que la critique relie habituellement au courant appelé « messianisme polonais ». Il est en outre tout entier soumis aux projections d’idées portant sur le poète majeur du romantisme polonais, Adam Mickiewicz, représentant de ce courant. L’analyse des thèses de Towiański montre pourtant que le plan national y est absolument soumis à l’éthique qui les sous-tendent. De plus, si nous acceptons la conception proposée par la sociologie des religions selon laquelle le « messianisme » implique la présence (ou le retour) d’un personnage à dimension divine, alors ce terme est impropre. En se voulant la continuité de l’œuvre du Christ, le towianisme s’apparente plutôt à l’a-millénarisme augustinien ; et en considérant que des « individus collectifs » sont appelés les premiers à montrer la voie du salut, il peut être qualifié d’humanitarisme. L’appellation « messianisme polonais » souligne en réalité les limites des conceptions utilisées en polonistique pour la catégorisation des phénomènes parareligieux qui mettent en scène la Pologne.
Le « Réalisme extatique » comme procédé de transposition romanesque dans la nouvelle « Un ami inconnu » d’Ivan Bounine
Authors: Subbotina Galina
Published: June 2024

Dans l’article, nous comparons la nouvelle « Un ami inconnu » (1923) d’Ivan Bounine (1870- 1953) avec sa source principale (les lettres de Natalia Esposito). L’article se compose de deux parties. Dans la première, nous donnons la classification des transpositions romanesques dans la nouvelle. Dans la seconde, nous proposons l’étude d’un procédé que nous avons nommé « réalisme extatique » et qui est utilisé par Bounine dans la nouvelle « Un ami inconnu » ainsi que dans les nombreuses nouvelles de la dernière période de son œuvre.
Apprendre. Oui, mais comment ?
Authors: Gut Dagmara
Published: June 2024

Apprendre. Oui, mais comment ? Cette question posée par Philippe Meirieu (1991) au début des années quatre-vingt reste toujours d’actualité. Dans la présente communication je m’attache à examiner la notion d’apprendre. L’objectif étant de présenter un état des lieux, je propose une description et une interprétation des principaux courants didactiques qui alimentent aujourd’hui ce domaine d’études vaste et multiple. Pour ce faire, la réflexion sera basée sur des exemples tirés des débats qui s’articulent autour du processus en question.
Reconnaissance et dessaisissement de soi dans la Première Philosophie de l’Esprit de Hegel
Authors: Person Quentin
Published: June 2024

Lorsqu’il formule dans son Système de la vie éthique le motif d’une « lutte à mort » pour la reconnaissance éthique des individus Hegel n’entend pas promouvoir les particularités individuelles sur la scène universelle. Cette reconnaissance doit au contraire être comprise comme un acte d’annihilation des particularités en vue de faire advenir cette réalité éthique supérieure qu’est le peuple (Volk). Un tel mouvement d’annihilation ne reconnaît d’autre pertinence aux actes individuels que l’actualisation de la substance éthique. Aucune œuvre social-historique ne peut alors être pensée. C’est à la résolution de cette incomplétude que s’attèle l’écriture d’une Première Philosophie de l’Esprit. Comprenant la vie de l’Esprit comme ce qui se soutient d’un mouvement permanent de division (Entzweyung) et de dessaisissement de soi (Entaüsserung), Hegel se met en mesure de penser la conservation de l’individu singulier dans la sphère de l’universel, et partant, un retour de celui-ci sur celle-là.
The Paralogism of the Proper Self : Hegel’s Critique of Kantian Morality
Authors: Van Houdt John
Published: June 2024

This article concerns the relationship of Kantians and Hegelians, precisely the contentious debate over the status of Hegel’s critique of Kantian morality. Hegel’s critique focuses not, as is usually alleged, on any substantive claim made by Kant, but rather on the argument for duty-based morality. Taking a cue from the development of the Paralogisms of Pure Reason from the A and B editions, and the argument of the interceding work, the Groundwork, it is argued that Kant’s argument for the “proper self” is itself paralogistic. Finally, this article focuses on the potential political upshot of Hegel’s critique of Kantian morality.
La réappropriation des grandes figures littéraires du XIXe siècle dans le roman graphique ‘Steampunk’ du XXe siècle : The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (vol. 1 et 2) de Alan Moore et Kevin O’Neill
Authors: Renard Benjamin
Published: June 2024

Il s’agira d’étudier, à travers un roman graphique contemporain, la façon dont le XXe siècle se réapproprie les grandes figures littéraires du XIXe siècle par l’intermédiaire de nouveaux media, et quel processus créatif découle de l’exploitation de cet héritage. Pour ce faire, les différents procédés d’écriture employés par le scénariste et retranscrits par le dessinateur (intertextualité, réécriture, mélange des parties graphique et écrite, pastiche des différentes formes d’art en corrélation avec l’époque à laquelle se passent les récits) seront analysés afin de définir le concept de « Littérature Dessinée ».
Le rôle de la Nouvelle-Angleterre dans la déportation des Acadiens (Grand-Dérangement, 1755-1763)
Authors: Vasquez-Parra Adeline
Published: June 2024

Le rapprochement des cultures algonquines, françaises et anglo-américaines entre les provinces maritimes canadiennes et la Nouvelle-Angleterre sont à l’origine de nombreuses études sur cet espace transfrontalier (borderland) singulier. Cet article se concentre sur un évènement historique marquant la fin de cette cohabitation difficile au XVIIIe siècle: la déportation de plus de 3000 acadiens en 1755 de NouvelleÉcosse vers d’autres colonies britanniques. Les rivalités franco-britanniques en Amérique du Nord, la peur des alliances franco-amérindiennes – en particulier les Micmacs –, la progression au Nord et à l’Est de la frontière de la Nouvelle-Angleterre nourrie par un projet impérial appuyé par le renouveau messianique du révérend Jonathan Edwards, semblent être autant de facteurs ayant impliqué la Nouvelle-Angleterre dans la dispersion forcée des communautés acadiennes en 1755.
L'autobiographie en scène : de la rêverie à la fiction, un pacte dissimulé
Authors: Balcerek Alexandra
Published: June 2024

Cet article vise à montrer certaines spécificités de la scène autobiographique à travers la rêverie du créateur sur sa propre existence, qui définit le mouvement général de son œuvre, ses multiples directions. La fiction apparaît ensuite, elle rencontre l'autobiographie par le biais d'éléments qui constituent la scène : le corps, la voix, les objets. Le texte occupe une place secondaire dans la mise en scène globale et la première personne disparaît en partie. Il ne s'agit plus de faire son autoportrait mais de se servir des éléments autobiographiques comme d'une matière à la création. Ils se manifestent donc par morceaux, par bribes et se déploient dans l'espace. Par là, le spectacle autobiographique se rattache à une forme de lyrisme, qui, sur la scène, interroge l'autobiographie dans ses rapports entre l'individuel et l'universel.
A relação entre os objectivos de desenvolvimento sustentável e a actividade mineira

Published: June 2024

This article reflects on the potential of the mining industry to incorporate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) into its management, in addition to considering the negative impacts that this industry has on the environment and assesses how they can be incorporated into mining activity. This process begins by analyzing the singularities of the concept of sustainable development proposed in the "Our Common Future" report, which highlights the need to conceptualize it for mining, looking for the points of coincidence that mining has with the SDG, which open up a real space for community interaction between mining companies and society, in which it is possible to create conditions for the emergence of alternative economic activities to the closure of mines. The aim of this article is to analyses the relationship between the SDG and mining as a way of visualizing the real possibility that mining can contribute to the fulfilment of these goals through compensation that facilitates the emergence of alternative economic activities to mine closure. The literature review is based on classic documents on sustainable development, those specific to the SDG and those specific to mining. As a result, it is hoped to produce a study that will serve as a reference for drawing up sustainability policies in mining areas.

Authors: Saharani Kharisma Dewantika , Ardiani Della , Nurcahya Wirawan Firman
Published: June 2024

Ketidakpastian perekonomian global menjadi ancaman dalam merancang keuangan pemerintah, khususnya pada Anggaran Pendapatan Belanja Negara (APBN). Hal ini mengharuskan pemerintah menggunakan pembiayaan APBN melalui utang guna menjamin keberlangsungan program pemulihan ekonomi. Namun, guna mendapatkan strategi pembiayaan APBN yang paling tepat, diperlukannya berbagai pertimbangan melalui manajemen risiko. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui strategi pembiayaan APBN dalam menghadapi ketidakpastian perekonomian global khususnya berkaitan dengan risiko nilai tukar, risiko suku bunga, dan risiko refinansiasi. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan metodologi scoping review yang didapat dengan menggunakan berbagai sumber penelitian. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam menghadapi risiko nilai tukar, strategi pembiayaan APBN yang tepat adalah dengan memperdalam pasar keuangan disertai oleh inovasi dan diversifikasi sumber pembiayaan, hingga melakukan kebijakan lindung nilai. Kemudian berkaitan dengan risiko suku bunga, pemerintah perlu menerapkan strategi berupa mempertahankan rasio minimum penggunaan utang baru menggunakan suku bunga tetap sebesar 80% serta memaksimalkan pembiayaan utang menggunakan rasio bunga mengambang sebesar 20% sesuai dengan target kuantitatif. Terakhir, kebijakan debt switching dan cash buyback menjadi strategi pembiayaan APBN tepat dalam menghadapi risiko refinansiasi.

The initial source that an budding entrepreneur explores for the financing its newly set-up business is loan/funds mobilized from his friends and relatives. Following personal resources are the possible sources for meeting the financial requirements of a small scale business-personal savings, provided fund, from friends and relatives, personal asset sales, credit cards, inheritance, stock option sales etc. Since, these funds can be attributed to the family they are almost treated equivalent to equity contribution. These funds are commonly termed as Quasi-Equity (QE) or Equity ‘de-facto’. This study is based on the hotels of Dharamshala Tehsil of District Kangra in HP and analyze the factors that prompt the small-scale hotels towards mobilization of such QE. These loans are unsecured in nature and remain dominated to the loans provided by banks and financial institutions. Keywords: Entrepreneur, Financial, Quasi-Equity, Unsecured, Stock
