Published: September 2023

The aim of the current study is to assess regional differences in urban development in Kazakhstan using ten indicators classified by financial and economic health, business development, and standard of living. The data from 2018 to 2022 was analyzed, and a rating system was used to evaluate the regions. The data was collected from open sources. A literature review was conducted to determine the leading ten indicators. The research methodology used a rating system to identify leader regions and lag over the past five years. Ten points evaluated each indicator; as a result of all calculations, the maximum score could reach 100 points. The best five-year result was 63.1 in Astana city, 60.8 in Almaty city and 59.6 in Atyrau region. The lowest indicator is in the North Kazakhstan region - 23.7 points, followed by the Kyzylorda region (24.4) and Pavlodar region (25.3). Almaty and Astana cities excel in financial contributions, while other regions receive significant funds based on various factors such as natural resources. The analysis reveals low entrepreneurship development but an increasing number of SMEs. Population growth is observed in the cities of Astana and Almaty, while regional disparities in wages and poverty levels persist. Atyrau region is an industrial region with a low retail rate. The study's results can be used to implement regional development programs.

Published: September 2023

This article aims to identify the status quo of sustainability covenants firstly, secondly analyze their possibilities in enhancing sustainability performance and thirdly present further research directions. Covenants are additional contractual agreements mainly used in financial contracts, e.g. loans. They often focus on financial performance indicators, e.g., equity and net debt ratio, which the borrower must fulfil. However, the purpose of this article is to present a new approach to non-financial covenants, so-called sustainability covenants. Therefore, also nowadays ecological and social challenges are addressed. Banks have a huge impact on sustainable development by introducing more non-financial indicators in evaluating the creditability of borrowers. As a key hypothesis, this article argues that the approach of integrating ecological and social objectives through non-financial covenants is underrepresented in economic and business practice. Therefore, this article wants to examine how those objectives can be integrated into the financial concept of covenants and rely on research towards an integrative sustainability approach. In addition, a systematic literature review was conducted from October 2022 to July 2023 to analyze the status quo and derive future research directions. The review was based on two databases – Google Scholar and Scopus. As one key result, it was revealed that there is scarce existing literature on sustainability covenants, which refers to them as a policy measure. Only a few publications analyze their usage in financial contracts. However, this study implies the necessity for further research on sustainability covenants, emphasizing that they are powerful indicators to enhance the sustainability performance of the borrower.

Contemporary Issues Confronting International Carbon Markets: Critical Reviews
Authors: Mulenga Richard
Published: September 2023

This paper conducts critical reviews of the contemporary issues confronting the emission trading systems as international carbon markets. The reviews focus on Border Carbon adjustment (BCA) or Caborn Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Issues, social-political issues, and Legal or environmental jurisdictional overlap issues. Although the implementation of ETS markets is on the rise, there are contemporary issues that remain to be resolved. Carbon leakage and loss of competitiveness are the major reasons advanced for proposing BCAs/CBAMs as carbon leakage and competitive loss mitigation strategies. However, the BCAs/CBAMs have been criticized on several fronts. Firstly, the BCAs are perceived and criticized as covert ‘green’ protectionist measures. Secondly, critics argue that BCAs/CBAMs implementations will violate international trade laws and international climate agreements such as the Paris Agreement. Thirdly, with regards to the environmental jurisdictional authority, the reviews found that the over-centralization of environmental regulation and the lack of streamlining the environmental jurisdictional laws are the drivers of environmental jurisdictional authority disputes in the existing ETS jurisdictions. Fourthly, in terms of socio-political issues, critics argue that the theory underpinning the implementation of the BCAs/CBAMs as a way of combatting carbon leakage and loss of competitiveness is false or dubious because empirical literature on carbon leakage strongly suggests that firms make relocation decisions based on many factors of which environmental regulation is not the major factor. The literature recommends that the ideal approach to global climate change action is a mutual agreement on best practices in implementing BCAs, including climate clubs, that are not only environmentally effective but also more equitable and less disruptive of trade.

Published: September 2023

Creativity fostering behaviours of teachers are essential in every teaching and learning environment. It promotes teachers’ consistent efforts that are aimed at enhancing independent and flexible thinking. It also equips students with a variety of knowledge and materials for divergent thinking, encourages novel ways of solving problems and helps students cope with obstacles and failures. Unlocking students’ academic potential is a priority for many researchers and practitioners within the educational context. Reports on students’ academic achievement in mathematics revealed that there are areas of difficulties among the students. It could be that these areas of difficulties have led to poor academic achievement in mathematics over the years. On issues relevant to this study, teachers should give students direct feedback, encourage autonomy, re-word assignments to promote creativity and also create an accepting environment. Mathematics anxiety, inadequate problem-solving skills, lack of conceptual understanding and language barriers in mathematics were all highlighted as challenges of students’ difficulties in mathematics. Theoretically, this study was anchored on Self-Determination Theory. Practically, students, teachers, parents, educational administrators, government and researchers are all expected to benefit from the findings of this study. The ability to be creative, to create something from personal feelings and experiences, can reflect, nurture and unlock students’ understanding of mathematical concepts. The educational implications was highlighted and it was recommended among others that teachers should provide opportunities for students to share strengths and weaknesses as this in turn increases students’ active participation in the classroom.

Point-of-Care Diagnosis of Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Respiratory Disease Patients: Hope in a Resource-Limited Setting
Authors: Rozaliyani Anna
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a global health burden, however the diagnosis is still challenging due to non-specific clinical and radiological features. To overcome this problem, the lateral flow assay to detect Aspergillus-specific antibodies has the potential for rapid CPA diagnosis (point-of-care test/POCT). The aim of this study is to describe the profile of POCT Aspergillus-specific antibody detection in various populations as part of CPA diagnosis in Indonesia.Methods: This study is a part of previous CPA studies conducted in Jakarta between 2018-2021. The tests were carried out at the Laboratory of Parasitology Department, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia. All sera were tested using Aspergillus-specific immunochromatography lateral flow assay (LDBio, Diagnostics, Lyon, France) according to the manufacturer's instructions.Results: There were 314 patients' sera derived from four groups: post-TB (n=82), active TB (n=105), uncontrolled-asthma (n=50), and lung cancer (n=77). The positive results of LDBio Aspergillus ICT were 43% in post TB, 11% in active TB, 16% in uncontrolled asthma, and 14% in lung cancer patients. Further analysis revealed that the prevalence of CPA was 6-22% in those populations.Conclusion: The LDBio Aspergillus ICT has the potential as a POCT for early diagnosis of CPA. The risk of CPA was found highest in the post-TB group compared to others.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: The Prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Indonesia is increasing, with the highest age in the 45 – 54 years old, and high mortality and morbidity rates complications and cost. Biomarkers such as adiponectin, leptin, and their ratios may be useful in monitoring and quantifying patient's body fat tissue function improvement after exercise training. This study aims to determine adiponectin, leptin, and their ratios benefits in monitoring physical exercise effects on adipose tissue function in pre-elderly (45-59 years old) and elderly (> 60 years old) patients with MetS.Methods: Literature review through hand searching and pubmed database related to the benefits of leptin and adiponectin test in monitoring physical exercise effect on adipose function in the pre-elderly and/or elderly population with MetS.Results: Physical exercise significantly increased adiponectin levels (mean difference (MD): 0.42 µg/mL; 95% CI 0.23, 0.60, p < 0.0001), and reduced leptin levels (MD: -1.89 ng /ml; 95% CI, -2.64, -1.14, p<0.0001). High-intensity aerobic exercise can even reduce serum leptin levels by 6.29 ng/ml (p < 0.001), and increase serum adiponectin levels by 0.74 μg/ml (p = 0.04). This significant change mainly occurs in men with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 and 25.0-29. 9 kg/m2.Conclusion: Adiponectin/leptin ratio examination has potential future benefits in MetS management as an evaluation physiological biomarkers related to exercise interventions. There are only a few capable laboratories, and expensive cost, so that its current implementation is mostly devoted to research. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, balanced nutrition, physical activity habits and regular physical exercise are still the best suggestions for preventing MetS.

Authors: Tuieb Munthir Bahir , Serteep Hind Jumaa , Ali Doaa Muhsin Abed
Published: September 2023

The method of concealing confidential information inside an image is known as image steganography. In this work, the image steganography technique is developed. The framework is made up of three components: preprocessing of secret messages, selecting coefficients for the hiding process, and the hiring process. The secret message is organized as a two dimentional array, then processed via mathematical equations, which provide more security because the result is an encrypted message. The paper suggests a set of steps to hide the message efficiently. The experimental results show that the suggested method provides a high steganographic quality of the cover image and a high capacity for embedding information, which are two characteristics of a successful steganography technique.
Elliptic curve matrices over group ring to improve elliptic curve–discrete logarithm cryptosystems
Authors: Luhaib Qasim Mohsin , Ajeena Ruma Kareem K.
Published: September 2023

An elliptic curve matrix (ECM) is created randomly based on an elliptic curve group to modify the elliptic curve-discrete logarithm (EC-DL) cryptosystems, which are elliptic Diffie-Hellman key exchange (DHKE) and elliptic ElGamal public key cryptosystem (EEPKC), and to increase the security level in comparison with the original EC-DL schemes. In proposed schemes, the keys and ciphertext are computed using the ECMs. The security of trust schemes depended on the difficulty of solving the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECM-DLP). New experimental results on proposed schemes are discussed. The ECM-DL schemes consider new insights for more secure communications.

A bibliometric analysis of research on ‘future of work’ and its impact on skills needed for jobs
Authors: Sahiwal Umang Preet Kaur , Chaturvedi Vijit , Arora Ritu Gandhi
Published: September 2023

The ‘future of work’ is a concept that has been used to describe the era of rapid automation and adoption of advanced technologies in industries and businesses. This ongoing advancement has resulted in concerns around job displacement, skill obsolescence, increased income and gender disparity, and how human and artificial intelligence would co-exist and shape the world. Although several research studies have explored these aspects in isolation of other factors, no attempt has been made to comprehensively map the research field so far. In this paper, we conduct a bibliometric analysis of 205 papers which appear in top business, economics, and management journals from 2000 to 2022. Biblioshiny, a web-based application included in the Bibliometrix package was used for the purposes of analysis. The software helped identify influential journals, authors, countries, articles, and themes. Additionally, network analysis helped map the conceptual, intellectual, and social structure of the shortlisted papers. We further develop a future research agenda for understanding technological change and ensuing labour market, skill set shifts. This paper and its findings contribute to the literature by offering a scientometric and systematic way to review ‘future of work’ and its impact on employee skill needs.

Published: September 2023

Stock markets ought to be efficient while stock prices reflect all available information fairly and equitably. This bubble majorly forms when market participants inflate stock prices above the stock value based on some valuation system. Identifying the formation of these bubbles becomes imperative to provide information for the investors and these bubbles need to be validated as well, hence this paper contemplates to identify the existence of stock market bubbles between 2017 and 2022 with respect to the BSE Sensex. It also aims to analyse, if the momentum index and consumer confidence index reflect the market bubbles along with performance when the bubbles crashed. The E-views platform for the data analysis and Dickey-fuller, Augmented Dickey-Fuller, Rolling ADF, and Supremum ADF tests were deployed for identification of bubbles. It is found that a major market bubble occurred between January-May 2020. Apart from identifying the bubble that occurred previously, this paper also intends to alert investors of future bubbles following the same pattern of indices. By analysing contributing factors leading to a bubble, investors can be better prepared for the next bubble and can adjust their strategies accordingly to minimize losses. Identification of stock market bubbles and validating them with momentum and consumer confidence indices just doesn’t suffice the investor requirements. Further the factors leading to the formation of these bubbles, nature of these bubbles also attention. Bubbles happen for commodity prices, crypto-currencies and often might be of different types and might reflect entirely different behaviour, in that case how far can momentum and CC indices serve as leading indicators need to be explored as well.

Published: September 2023

Strategic HR practices are known to impact an organisation’s capability to manage knowledge. These linkages have been postulated theoretically but there is a dearth of empirical evidence for such impacts. This paper, through an intervention undertaken at a large organisation, illustrates this linkage. We show how a new HR practice can be a tool for effectively managing knowledge. The paper extends the knowledge management literature by including the effectiveness of HR practices and setting up new ways of innovative knowledge management, which can be useful for scholars as well as practitioners.
Lensing to employee attrition rate and internal movement in an organization: Application and intervention through Markov chain
Authors: Pratap Amrita , Chaturvedi Vijit , Bhat Prachi
Published: September 2023

The objective of the paper is to apply Absorbing Markov chain model in the study of employees’ attrition rate of an organisation over a discrete time interval. This requires transition probability matrix to be stochastic and Markov network to have at least one ‘absorbing state’. The paper addresses this problem by associating the employees leaving the organisation with a state, hereafter called ‘ exit state’, which is ascribed to ‘the absorbing state’. The physical interpretation of the probabilistic characteristic of an absorbing state logically relates it to a ‘void’ . The state of ‘void’ has no resource / element in the initial state of the system, and, in the final state, any resource/ element transitioned to this state becomes irretrievable, hence non-contributory to the organisation for all practical purpose. This concept supports the construction of stochastic matrix of Markov analysis. The dynamics of free markets and prevalent meaning of freedom- freedom from fear, freedom from scarcity and freedom from harsh subordination, as perceived by the present-day digital generation, are the reasons behind their good intention to exercise freedom of choosing and changing organisations. It is, therefore, a matter of concern for corporate leadership to ponder over how to retain talented personnel and keep watch over changing trends of employees quitting the organisations. The present paper demonstrates the successful application of our conceptual model by a case study of employees’ attrition rate of an MNC operating in India, discusses the causes of high attrition rate and provides suggestions to leadership for win-win interaction with the employees.

Authors: Krymchantowski Abouch , Jevoux Carla , Silva-Néto Raimundo Pereira
Published: September 2023

Migraine is a highly prevalent and debilitating neurological disorder. Most patients do not receive a correct diagnosis and effective treatments. Apart of the few specialists and tertiary centers worldwide, the treatment of migraine is usually symptomatic and prevention, as well as treatments of the underlying mechanisms, are not aimed. It results in frustration and substantial burden. The last few years witnessed the releasing of specific biological therapies, mostly addressing one of the peptides involved in migraine pathophysiology, the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Either the small molecules as well as the monoclonal antibodies against CGRP or its canonical receptor have been launched in markets across the globe and represent interesting options for the treatment of migraine. Onabotulinumtoxin A has also been proposed for chronic migraine as well, but not for episodic migraine, based on its unique ability to inhibit the SNARE complex formation and the release of numerous potential mediators of migraine. However, despite the favorable figures on efficacy and tolerability of these compounds, the regulations, and particulars of different countries, regarding the structures and reimbursement of medical care, demonstrated different adhesion profiles of chosen populations to receive these emerging weapons against migraine-imposed suffering.

Migraine is a common, highly prevalent genetic neurological disorder. Its most burdensome form is the chronic migraine, which is clinically defined by the presence of headache on ≥15 days/month for longer than three months, with eight or more typical migraine days. Medication-overuse headache (MOH) is a secondary headache disorder associated with the overuse of symptomatic headache medications on ≥10 days/month for longer than 3 months. Chronic migraine and medication-overuse headache often coexist and most chronic migraineurs have medication overuse headache. Despite that, general practitioners and health professionals do not know about MOH. This review aims at presenting insights, recent knowledge, and guidance regarding the approach and treatments for patients with a dual diagnosis of chronic migraine and medication-overuse headache.

Published: September 2023

IntroductionHeadaches and migraine are common in the pediatric population, being one of the most frequent symptoms reported in practice. Additionally, it is a considerably disabling condition, which brings significant burden and impairs several aspects of a child or adolescent's life, such as mental and physical health, executive functioning, school performance. Children and adolescents with migraine have higher risk of psychiatric comorbidities and psychosocial adjustment difficulties, which, in turn, compromise even more patient's well-functioning.ObjectiveThe present article provides the clinician with a straightforward and evidence-based approach to migraine treatment in this age group.CommentTreatment of migraine in children and adolescents requires a systematic and thorough approach. Clinicians should keep in mind the important burden migraine brings to a child's life, thus investigate, and properly manage comorbidities presented. Patient and parents' education is a meaningful part of the treatment. Moreover, non-pharmacological treatments, such as healthy lifestyle habits, behavioral interventions may also play beneficial roles. When preventive treatment is indicated, it should be tailored considering drug's profile of effectiveness and safety, as well as patient's comorbidities. Lack of evidence in this context must not translate in lack of action by the clinician, since there may be a relevant burden associated. Therefore, reasoning for the perspicacious clinician is of fundamental importance and may influence positively the outcomes.

Indonesia is entering an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is entering the life of the nation's civilization. Academic studies as material for making regulations related to the use of AI in the joints of the nation's life have not been carried out much. One of the important theories in the academic study of civilization is the basic theories of civilization discussed by Braudel and Kabuye Uthman Sulaiman. Fernand Braudel and Kabuye Uthman Sulaiman are two civilization theorists who represent old and contemporary mindsets, both of these thoughts if critically examined in the context of the 21st century when the world began to enter artificial civilization turned out to have some notes. The results of the research conducted on these two figures' thoughts found that thoughts about the theory of civilization need to be reviewed so that social science and humanities academics are able to analyze AI problems in the context of civilization

Anaemia in pregnancy is one of the most common conditions encountered in antenatal follow-up at primary care. Some targets need to be achieved and managed by healthcare professionals, especially at the earliest possible time and optimal level of haemoglobin in the pregnancy period. Nevertheless, some patients may end up with severe anaemia that was not successfully treated even at term. Therefore, an audit was conducted among antenatal women in a local health clinic to assess the patient’s haemoglobin level at booking and term, the management plan and to formulate strategies for improvement. This audit was conducted for two weeks using a universal sampling method in November 2022. All antenatal women who were already at term gestational period and attended the clinic during this period were included. The patients’ sociodemographic and health characteristics, haemoglobin level at booking and term as well as management plan were recorded. The data were entered into the statistical software SPSS version 23 for analysis. A total of 115 antenatal women were recruited and 87% of them were able to achieve target haemoglobin at term. Twenty-three of them had concomitant iron deficiency anaemia since the pre-pregnant state. Associated factors for successful anaemia treatment were those without concomitant IDA, those without side effects on  iron supplements and those who did not require changes in the treatment course (P < 0.05). The majority of patients can achieve normal values of haemoglobin at term. Pre-pregnancy clinics to treat concomitant anaemia before pregnancy selective individualized iron supplementation to avoid side effects and maintaining the same medication groups would help treat morenumbers of antenatal women with anaemia.

Estes comportamentos podem associar-se a mais do que uma causa e função, em resultado da interação entre múltiplos fatores de risco e de manutenção, como por exemplo, genéticos, biológicos, psiquiátricos, psicológicos, sociais e culturais. A prevalência significativa de comportamentos autolesivos não suicidários na população clínica e os desafios associados à abordagem destes jovens, seja numa componente de avaliação ou de intervenção, contribuem para a pertinência desta revisão narrativa cujos objetivos são a caracterização destes comportamentos e, por outro lado, a pesquisa de evidência sobre a vertente de avaliação e intervenção na perspetiva das terapias cognitivo-comportamentais.
