Assessing the health of pregnant women with a questionnaire can prevent complications and help health professionals provide appropriate care. Assessment scales such as the pregnancy anxiety rating scale questionnaire (PARSQ), pregnancy sleep quality questionnaire (PSQQ), pregnancy knowledge level questionnaire (PKLQ), and birth readiness questionnaire (BRQ) need to be developed according to current conditions and real-life situations to serve as primary screening tools before proceeding with further treatment for pregnant women. This study aims to develop specific research measurement tools for pregnant women and validate the PARSQ, PSQQ, PKLQ, and BRQ questionnaires. The research method employed a qualitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 20 pregnant women, followed by statistical testing of questionnaire validity and reliability. The results showed that the calculated values (r-value) for the PARSQ, PSQQ, PKLQ, and BRQ questionnaires were greater than the critical value (r-table) of 0.359, indicating that the items in these four questionnaires are valid. The reliability test results used Cronbach's alpha for all four questionnaires, indicating that the questionnaires are reliable. In conclusion, the PARSQ, PSQQ, PKLQ, and BRQ questionnaires can be used to detect the health conditions of pregnant women. This research's contribution, through the use of questionnaires, can offer an effective tool for collecting and analyzing data needed to understand the phenomenon of pregnancy and improve existing theories and practices.

Authors: Al-Ani Hussien , Al-Mashhadani Israa
Published: August 2024

Physically unclonable functions (PUFs) are advanced physical security measures that offer fundamental, unclonable appraisals of physical objects, providing an effective defense against hardware vulnerability breaches. They function as unique digital hardware fingerprints. This study discusses previous methods adopted for improving hardware security via PUF technology, with a specific focus on PUF circuits implemented on FPGA boards. Hardware security is assumed to be enhanced by adding a memristor to the ring oscillator PUF circuit and implementing these authentication architectures on FPGA boards. Additionally, this study explores methods for improving the main performance metrics for FPGA-based memristive-ring oscillator PUFs, including uniqueness, uniformity, and reliability. The study was founded on many scientific studies selected according to specific criteria. This study aims to assess and contrast these studies to achieve substantial enhancements in the security of devices on the basis of the obtained results. Upon comparing the findings, it was revealed that the proposed techniques, which provide flexibility and adaptability in dealing with memristive-PUF circuits to improve security services, displayed a distinct enhancement in security performance compared with other research that did not include any references to memristors. As an essential part of the authentication architecture, performance metrics involving memristor technology are verified in this study, with a uniqueness of 48.57%, uniformity of 51.43%, and bit-aliasing of 51.43%. These outcomes demonstrate the validation of memristor-based physical unclonable functions (M-PUF) against encryption and verification within a certified key exchange and tests.

The annual expenditure of the district/city government of North Sulawesi Province tends to increase. These expenditures are accounted for and reported in the LKPD which is checked by the BPK. The audit report contains audit findings and opinions on the fairness of the LKPD. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of audit findings, audit opinions and the size of government on spending performance in district/city governments in North Sulawesi Province for the 2017-2021 fiscal year. Apart from that, the size of the government by looking at the assets owned by the Regional Government is a moderating variable in the research. The testing employs moderation analysis with multiple linear regression and absolute difference value tests. The test results show that audit findings, opinions and the size of government significantly influence expenditure performance. However, the size of the local government does not moderate the relationship between audit findings and audit opinions towards expenditure performance. This suggests that the magnitude of a local government does not strengthen or weaken the impact of audit findings and audit opinions on expenditure performance.

During the pandemic and lockdown, shopping suddenly became electronic, and the growth was huge - companies were pressured to make rapid digitalization, and although the post-pandemic trend is such that the growth of e-commerce has decreased, it has remained at a high level and is growing. In Serbia, trends follow similar paths. The growth in Serbia coincides with the trend of increasing online trade transactions, as well as increasing the share of mobile transactions. On the other hand, the Serbian market is specific in that the largest niche is occupied by fashion and not books and music as in the West, and the largest supplier is China. Taking over the market from classic, physical stores is not expected. The take-up percentage is too small, unless there is a big shift in the coming years, i.e. unless Generation Z comes to a dominant position with completely different buying habits and suddenly reverses the tendencies, which is very possible.
Inflation and Economic Growth Tradeoff, and Its Impact on Indonesia Poverty
Authors: Sipahutar Mangasa Augustinus
Published: August 2024

There was tradeoff between inflation and economic growth in Indonesian economy over the last three decades, from 1990 to 2021. When economic growth tended to increase, inflation would also increase. The increasing scale of business sectors due to the increasing of economic growth shifted price and wage setting in the same direction, then increasing labor demand, and decreasing poverty. This study used a VAR model to estimate tradeoff between inflation and economic growth, and OLS model to estimate the relationship between economic growth and the poverty, and also between inflation and poverty. A VAR model explained that there was a positive bi-direction causality between inflation and economic growth, however, there was uncertainty whether economic growth caused inflation, or whether inflation caused economic growth. Although economic growth had a positive effect on reducing poverty, but due to the tradeoff between inflation and economic growth, then economic policies had to be designed to fully controlling inflation during the persistence of economic growth to prevent an increasing of poverty. Expected inflation and long run inflation target should always be a major concern when setting monetary policy to avoid higher economic fluctuation that could stimulate increasing of inflation and poverty.

The present study aimed to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows on the manufacturing sector's performance in developing countries, focusing on Tanzania. Using a non-experimental explanatory research design and a quantitative approach with time series data, the study aims to generalize the results to the entire population. A sample size of 32 annual observations from 1990 to 2021, sourced from international organizations, was employed. Data analysis involved multiple linear regression using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method. Diagnostic tests addressed potential time series data issues, and STATA software facilitated econometric techniques. Findings indicate a significant positive correlation between FDI and manufacturing value added (MVA) in Tanzania. The ARDL bounds test established a long-term equilibrium relationship between FDI, MVA, GDP, and the inflation rate. Notably, a 1.961 unit increase in MVA corresponds to a unit rise in real GDP, with a 0.08 unit decrease linked to a unit increase in inflation. The error correction model shows a 0.66 percent adjustment from short-run to long-run equilibrium. Granger causality results suggest a bi-directional causal effect between MVA and FDI, with MVA causing FDI. Diagnostic tests confirm the model's stability, normality, and absence of serial correlation or heteroscedasticity. In conclusion, the study highlights FDI's positive role in propelling manufacturing sector growth in Tanzania, contributing to economic development and employment generation. Recommendations for Tanzanian policymakers include creating a conducive environment for FDI in the manufacturing sector, emphasizing policies to ease business operations, encourage technology transfer, and address inflationary pressures.

Authors: Suleman Rashid , Kagoro Valensi
Published: August 2024

This study aims at investigating the joint significance of economic growth and inflation rate on unemployment rate in Tanzania using time series data for the period of 1990-2021. Quantitative research approach was used. The study used only secondary data to achieve its main objective. In data analysis, the researcher employed Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method as a basis of estimation because of its superiority in taking care of simultaneity and small sample bias. To ensure reliability result of the study and hence validity, the researcher applied different test in solving the problem such as using ADF and PP test for unit root. Moreover, through obtaining data from approved credible source, the researcher ensured validity of data and information as well as reliability of data. The researcher observed all ethical issues throughout the study. The findings of this study revealed that gross domestic product (GDP) and inflation rate have effects to unemployment rate in Tanzania. The regression output model showed that inflation has a positive effect to unemployment rate while gross domestic product has a negative effect to unemployment rate in Tanzania. The recommendations made in this study include, Policy makers need to use monetary policy instruments in boosting up the economic growth while maintaining inflation rate at a very moderate level as high inflation rate is the sign of economic instabilities, and efforts should be made by the policymakers in Tanzania to increase the level of output in the economy by enhancing on productivity in order to reduce unemployment rate.
Constitutional Rights, Human Rights and Information and Communication Technologies in Ecuador
Authors: Sarasti Paúl Arellano
Published: August 2024

The study analyses constitutional rights, human rights and information and communication technologies (ICTs) in Ecuador. The challenges of equitable access to technologies and the protection of human rights in the digital environment are key to economic and social growth in the country. The study addresses the Ecuadorian legal framework - Constitution of 2008 - recognising internet access as a human right and establishes principles and norms to guarantee this right. It considers international treaties and conventions, such as the United Nations (UN) human rights declarations, which have an impact on the promotion and protection of rights in the digital sphere. The research was of the documentary type with a qualitative approach. The results showed that legislation is lagging behind in comparison to technological progress, deficient access, coverage and technological illiteracy that violates constitutional rights in Ecuador. It is concluded that there is a disparity between human rights legislation on digital vulnerability and the asymmetric advance of ICTs, and suggests the need for public policies that promote the democratisation of technological access, protection of online rights and digital technologies.
Environmental Protection In National Constitutions - Article 20a Of The German Grundgesetz (Constitution) As An Example
Authors: Bernsdorff Norbert , Pilar Arzabe Carla
Published: August 2024

Since the so-called environmental crisis came to the attention of the general public
and politicians at the beginning of the 1970s, there have been repeated calls for the protection of the environment to be „enshrined” in national constitutions. For a long time,
the demand for a special environmental constitutional right was met with unanimous
rejection. But proposals for a so-called national objective of „environmental protection”
were also heavily criticised. Today, however, everyone agrees that environmental protection is an extremely important task of the state. With its Article 20a, the German
Grundgesetz (GG) has raised this to constitutional level. Article 20a of the Grundgesetz
can serve as an example for other national constitutions.
The Libyan Language in The Maghreb During the Ancient Era Between Roots, Development and Continuity
Authors: Laiadhi Hafidha
Published: August 2024

This research paper talks about the Libyan language, which before it took on the name “Amazigh” today, was known as Libyan during the ancient period, in reference to the entire Maghreb region that Herodotus called Libya and the inhabitants Libyans. Our study of the Libyan language aims to introduce it, and form an idea about its roots, the development it has witnessed since its emergence, and its continuity to the present time. This is done by addressing its definition and knowing its place within the tree of linguistic families, as an Afrasi (Hamitic-Semitic) language, then the space it occupied on the tongue of speakers of the ancient era in the Maghreb, as well as the multiplicity of its linguistic vocabulary, whether at the level of proper names or places, which created Libyan dialects that remain in use throughout the Maghreb countries from ancient times to the Middle Ages and the present period. To prove its existence as a linguistic, cultural and civilizational component for the inhabitants of the Maghreb region, there is no evidence of its existence other than its translation into alphabetical letters and its continued pronunciation to this day, along with all the languages that came to the region. This is what requires us today to preserve it as a cultural heritage and a cultural component of the entire Maghreb region.
