Supply chain disruptions and their effect on suppliers and consumers in the marketplace
Authors: Bateh Dena
Published: April 2024

Supply chains are essential for businesses to stay afloat and to create operational efficiency. Without them, it becomes difficult to maintain customer value and to serve with a competitive advantage. Supply chain disruptions are always expected to occur due to the demand for certain products either decreasing or increasing. In recent years, we have experienced a mass supply chain disruption that has affected businesses worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic took the economy by storm and has changed the way business owners view the marketplace. Market uncertainty was at an all-time high, leading business owners to reassess their operations. Both consumer and supplier behaviors were changing the way these markets were fluctuating. The intensity of consumer purchasing behaviors was beginning to shift the demand curve. Localization of supply became a more seemingly popular way to counteract product shortages. The creation of new technologies will also help industries to be more prepared and manufacture products more efficiently. Furthermore, supply chains can be unpredictable, and there are many ways in which the marketplace can be ready for those moments of uncertainty. The past few years have really opened a new lens and given businesses a new point of view on what can be expected. As for now, preparing for the future is a great place to start and will help us continue a path to a successful economy. Thus, the goal of this research is to identify and explore different businesses tactics and procedures to help explore the effects of the supply chain disruptions on the public.
Taxing Financial Services under Australia’s GST
Authors: O’Rourke K.
Published: April 2024

The author considers that the assumption that financial services are too difficult to tax under a GST is flawed. When the GST was introduced in Australia, that flawed assumption led to the exempting (input taxing) of financial services, which comes at a cost of almost AUD 6 billion per annum to the Australian revenue base. In this article, the author explains that an addition method of taxation would be effective in fully taxing financial services under Australia’s GST, and also for other jurisdictions. This method has many advantages and few disadvantages relative to the cash flow methods of taxation, and is the superior method for fully taxing financial services.
Deutsche Mark Über Alles: La génesis del Tratado de Maastricht
Authors: Guirao Fernando
Published: April 2024

Este artículo argumenta que el vector principal que articula el tiempo y la forma en que se llevaron a cabo las negociaciones que concluyeron en el Tratado de Unión Europea de 1992 fue la agresiva política monetaria desplegada por el Bundesbank para hacer frente a las inesperadas circunstancias de la fusión de las dos repúblicas alemanas. Los proyectos de integración monetaria mencionados en las declaraciones de los órganos de dirección de las Comunidades Europeas desde 1969 no conllevaban más implicación práctica que la de redoblar la ayuda a la convergencia macroeconómica o a paliar los efectos de la persistente divergencia. No tenía por qué haber desembocado en una moneda común.Del mismo modo, tampoco tenían los miembros de la Comunidad que responder a la unificación alemana mediante una Unión Europea. Sucedió así por la evolución del tipo de interés por parte del Bundesbank. Este requería dar respuesta, primero, al impacto inflacionario de las primeras medidas de unificación y, segundo, a la necesidad de atraer volúmenes sin precedentes de ahorro externo para financiar la reconversión de los Länder orientales. El Tratado de Maastricht fue resultado de un urgente ejercicio de soberanía compartida y no de un plan madurado durante veinte años.
críticos de Maastricht: del "consenso permisivo" al euroescepticismo
Authors: Forner Muñoz Salvador , Senante Berendes Heidy-Cristina
Published: April 2024

Las dificultades para la ratificación del Tratado de la Unión Europea (TUE), aprobado en Maastricht el siete de febrero de 1992, suelen ser interpretadas como el síntoma de un cambio en la identificación de la opinión pública europea con el proceso de integración comunitaria iniciado en la década de 1950. Con una participación del 83% del electorado, el referéndum de ratificación en Dinamarca, celebrado el 2 de junio de 1992 se saldó con un rechazo al Tratado por algo más del 50% de los votos, lo que obligó, meses más tarde, a un nuevo referéndum. Una ola de lo que comenzó a denominarse «euroescepticismo» se extendió a los demás países.

Authors: Demateis Mariano , Llull Darío , Castañeiras Claudia
Published: April 2024

La atención integral del paciente oncológico en el ámbito sanitario público requiere de intervenciones focalizadas y protocolizadas, que resulten breves y eficientes. En este estudio se presenta el desarrollo de un modelo de intervención psicooncológica de 4 sesiones para el peridiagnóstico. Su estructura y contenido tiene por objetivo facilitar la adaptación a la enfermedad en la primera etapa del curso oncológico al intervenir en la sintomatología emocional y en la comprensión del cáncer por parte del paciente. Se informan resultados de esta intervención con 15 pacientes, donde se evaluó su efecto sobre la activación emocional (AE), la representación de la enfermedad (RE) y la adaptación al cáncer (evaluada ésta mediante el mini-MAC). Se obtuvieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en AE, RE y en la escala de preocupación ansiosa del mini-MAC. Los resultados aportan evidencia preliminar sobre la utilidad clínica de la intervención para promover adaptación psicológica en la fase peridiagnóstica del curso oncológico.

Research has highlighted that some types of mental disorders are associated with widespread discrimination and stigma, phenomena that negatively affect adherence. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between stigma and adherence to pharmacological treatment in patients diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder (BD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and schizophrenia (SZ). A total of 112 patients (age range: 20-68 years, Median age = 42.08; SD age = 12.02) from Brazil (38.4% ADHD, 34.8% SZ, and 26.8% TB) participated in the study. Treatment adherence was measured using the Medication Adherence Questionnaire, personal stigma by means of the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness, Stigma Scale, and Perceived Devaluation and Discrimination Scale, and self-esteem with Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale. Results showed an association between personal stigma and treatment adherence for all three types of disorder. The lower the personal stigma, the higher the adherence to treatment. The study highlights the role of stigma and self-esteem in relation to treatment adherence, with possible implications for future psychotherapy for these disorders.

There is no doubt that companies do have conflicts with other companies or internal conflicts within the company. In essence, conflict resolution is inevitable in corporate governance and arbitration has proven to be one of the means through which it can be resolved. This paper seeks to evaluate the importance and efficiency of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms, particularly arbitration in corporate governance and in solving corporate governance disputes, its growth and success rate compared to the traditional court systems. The paper further assesses the capability and effectiveness of the system in, and against corporate disputes. It also identifies its weaknesses as a whole and within the framework for corporate governance, while identifying and recommending international best practices for its use in resolving corporate governance disputes in Nigeria when juxtaposed with other jurisdictions. In addition, the paper stresses the importance of having a convenient business dispute resolution mechanism in order for businesses to thrive even in times of adversity, while also maintaining a cordial relationship, important to corporate governance in order to achieve the goals and objectives of the investors. The paper adopts the doctrinal methodology of research through analysis of opinion of authors, case laws, and statutory provisions relating to the subject, which are examined for the purpose of further analysis and contribution to existing body of knowledge. The paper recommends among others the holistic adoption of arbitration in resolving corporate governance from litigation process as it is done in sports disputes by organisations such as FIFA in order to maximise the gains arbitration brings to the commercial investment.
The Jurisprudence Of The Crime Of Aggression Vis A Vis Acts Of Charity In International Law
Authors:   Lecturer at the Faculty of Law, Niger Delta University, Amassoma, Bayelsa State, Suofade Ogbe Richard
Published: April 2024

The challenge of ensuring that acts of charity are not mistaken for acts of aggression have continues to attract international comments and discourse. Separating these acts and granting criminal immunity to persons who engage in charitable acts has become not only complex but enigmatic. There appears to be a precarious convergence and divergence between making a clear identification of persons who carry out Welfarist and humanitarian activities and the crime of aggression. This paper seeks to analyze the difficulty of decoding and explicating the components and elements of the crime of aggression in international law premised on the technical definition of the term from its evolutionary concept to its modern jurisprudential pontification. The first problem is the conceptual definition of the crime of aggression which has attracted a legion of interpretations and varied scholarly comprehension which have only heightened the complex interrogation and impediment that confront the various attempts to give the crime of aggression any precise acceptable definition. Under international law and other legal instruments, the definition of the crime of aggression has been so hazily and obscurely defined such that it has lost its intended meaning. This paper seeks to solve the conjoining jurisprudential problem that exists between persons that have charitable intention and whose obligation is to embark on acts that are purely for the purposes of philanthropy and beneficence and the crime of aggression in international law. The emphasis is that those who set out to carry out humanitarian activities are given special criminal immunity as they do their daily obligation. The paper submits that there is a dire need to redefine the concept of aggression in international law by deploring more modern ways and means of monitoring and regulating acts that can be misplaced and taken as acts of aggression. This will help to distinguish between humanitarian activities and acts of aggression.
Regulatory Framework Of The Capital Market In Uganda: An Overview
Authors:   Associate Dean Research, School of Law, Kampala International University, Kampala Uganda, Adenyuma Iji Gabriel , Nuwagaba Sheya ,   Lecturer, School of Law, Kampala International University, Kampala Uganda
Published: April 2024

Capital markets are platforms where investors trade in long-term financial products known as securities. The products include equity (shares), debt (government and corporate bonds), derivatives of these products and units in collective investment schemes. The capital markets are an important component of a modern economy because they facilitate access to long-term patient capital which may not be accessible from traditional sources such as commercial banks. There have been concerns about low investor participation in the capital market over time at the Uganda Exchange. Even though the Foreign Direct Investment portfolio has shown increased growth to about USD 1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2023 this has not translated to increased activity in the capital market showing that several investment opportunities were being externally financed. It is well-known that businesses need to attract funding from investors to supplement internally generated resources in other to expand and grow. This study is an overview of the regulatory framework of the capital market in Uganda with the objective of unraveling the inherent constraints in the system to its growth deriving therefrom. The study found that there is a low level of awareness of the securities market among Ugandans and its corporate entities on the one hand and a manifest reluctance of domestic and foreign companies to participate in the capital market on the other as well as a stranglehold of government on financial drivers owing to weak regulatory and policy frameworks. It recommends a legislative overhaul of the framework to entrench governance best practices, strengthen free market operation and a formalized enlightenment regime.
Utilization of Symbolic Interactionism, Pragmatism, and Social Constructionism in Development Communication Campaigns in Nigeria
Authors: Udoudom Uduak , Ekpe Patrick , George Kufre
Published: April 2024

This qualitative case study analysed the utilization of symbolic interactionism, pragmatism, and social constructionism in recent development communication campaigns in Nigeria. A dataset of 87 campaigns over the last 5 years across rural, urban, northern, southern, and coastal regions was compiled. Deductive and inductive thematic analysis examined shared meanings, communicative actions towards desired ends, socially constructed representations, and additional context-specific patterns. These theoretical lenses provide valuable insights into target audiences, messaging techniques, and facilitating behavioural and social change. Symbolic interactionism focuses on shared meanings arising through social interactions and informs the cultural framing of campaign messages. Pragmatism suggests appealing to the practical impacts on people’s lives rather than abstract principles to motivate change. Finally, social constructionism sees societal issues as constructed through discourse, which campaigns can influence through strategic communication. Together, these three perspectives offer a conceptual toolkit for designing resonant campaigns, grounded in the local context, that raise awareness on issues like poverty, health, and gender equality while also shaping public discourse and norms in the longer term. Further scholarship on practical applications of these theories can improve developmental outcomes in Nigeria. This desk analysis provides a foundation for future empirical studies on campaign design and reception, and sets an agenda for theory-driven communication strategies that create meaningful social change.
Sitzen ist keine Gewalt

Published: April 2024

Wer sich passiv verhält, übt keine Gewalt. In Österreich handelt es sich dabei um einen Leitsatz zur Nötigung, der sich in fast allen Kommentierungen und Lehrbüchern zu § 105 österreichisches Strafgesetzbuch (öStGB) findet. Der Autor wundert sich, dass deutsche Gerichte dies anders sehen und Aktivist*innen der Klimabewegung, die an Sitzblockaden teilnehmen, immer wieder wegen Nötigung bestrafen. Schon das allgemeine Sprachverständnis lege doch nahe: Wer bloß sitzt, der ist nicht gewaltätig.

Sertifikasi halal merupakan pengejawantahan jaminan produk halal yang diatur dalam Undang- Undang Nomor 33 tahun 2014 tentang Jaminan Produk Halal serta Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 39 Tahun 2021 tentang Penyelengaraan Bidang Jaminan Produk Halal. Pencantuman logo halal dalam kemasan produk makanan dan minuman menjadi jaminan bahwa produk tersebut berasal dari bahan yang halal dan melalui proses produksi yang halal. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh fenomena maraknya kasus terkait dengan produk makanan dan minuman bersertifikat halal dijadikan alat persaingan usaha yang cenderung tidak sehat serta beberapa pandangan pro-kontra yang terjadi di masyarakat dalam menyikapi isu produk makanan dan minuman yang belum bersertifikat halal. Permasalahan ini diduga kuat akibat belum optimalnya sosialisasi kepada masyarakat tentang hukum mengonsumsi dan memperjualbelikan makanan dan minuman yang belum bersertifikat halal pada masa pentahapan kewajiban bersertifikat halal. Sehingga perlu diteliti dan dikaji lebih dalam bagaimana mekanisme dan prosedur sertifikasi halal makanan dan minuman serta tinjauan hukum ekonomi syariah tentang mengonsumsi dan memperjualbelikan makanan dan minuman yang belum bersertifikat halal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tentang: 1) mekanisme dan prosedur sertifikasi halal makanan dan minuman; dan 2) prosedur sertifikasi halal makanan dan minuman serta tinjauan hukum ekonomi syariah tentang mengonsumsi dan memperjualbelikan makanan dan minuman yang belum bersertifikat halal. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian empiris dengan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif, pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi dan studi dokumentasi. Hal ini untuk membuat deskripsi secara sistmatis, faktual dan akurat mengenai fenomena yang diteliti. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa mekanisme dan prosedur sertifikasi halal telah berjalan dengan cukup baik yang ditandai dengan telah disertifikasinya produk makanan dan minuman melalui jalur self declare. Hukum Islam yang diformulasikan dalam kajian hukum ekonomi syariah memberikan jaminan hukum atas kehalalan dalam mengonsumsi makanan dan minuman yang belum bersertifikasi halal atau dalam masa pentahapan kewajiban bersertifikasi halal, serta membolehkan jual beli makanan dan minuman yang belum bersertifikat halal selama barang tersebut tidak diharamkan, baik hukumnya maupun zatnya. Jual beli produk ini juga diperbolehkan sampai dengan masa akhir pentahapan kewajiban sertifikasi halal yakni tanggal 17 oktober 2024, sebagaimana termuat dalam Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 39 Tahun 2021 tentang Penyelengaraan Bidang Jaminan Produk Halal.

Published: April 2024

Tourism is one of the industries hardest hit by COVID–19, and the Department of Tourism suggested digital tourism as one way of stimulating, at least, domestic travel. This study sought to determine the actions of resorts and the government interventions about it. The study applied mixed methods of research, total sampling population, and hybrid interview considering travel restrictions using a validated self-made questionnaire. The study was conducted in Northern Mindanao, Philippines. The respondents of the study were employees of beach and water-themed resorts and municipal tourism officers. The findings of the study revealed low usage of digital tourism strategies and poor tourism performance, a significant difference in digital tourism strategies of the resorts and their employees when grouped according to profile, and a significant relationship between digital tourism strategies and the tourism performance of the resorts. Policy gaps were also discovered. The study concludes that the level of usage of digital tourism strategies can only do so much given the status quo. Hence, recommendations for the enhancement of digital tourism strategies are suggested since they align with the state’s existing medium- and long-term development plans.

Authors: Zafar Behzad
Published: April 2024

Sunflower cultivation is integral to meeting the demand for edible oil seeds, necessitating the optimization of plant nutrient application for optimal crop production. A field trial conducted at the Agronomy Research Farm, The University of Agriculture, Peshawar, during the summer of 2022 aimed to assess the impact of varying potassium and iron levels on sunflower yield and yield components. Four levels of potassium (0, 30, 45, and 60 kg ha-1) and four levels of iron (0, 5, 10, 15 kg ha-1) were investigated using a randomized complete block (RCB) design with three replications, maintaining one control plot in each replication. Iron sulfate and Muriate of potash were utilized as sources of iron and potassium, respectively. Results revealed that applying potassium at a rate of 60 kg ha-1 led to maximum head diameter (18.38 cm), thousand-achene weight (47.56 g), biological yield (7476 kg ha-1), and grain yield (2039 kg ha-1) accompanied by taller plants (169.3 cm). Similarly, iron application at a rate of 15 kg ha-1 resulted in increased plant height (159.2 cm), maximum head diameter (18.01 cm), 1000 achene weight (47.8 g), biological yield (7416 kg ha-1), and grain yield (2062 kg ha-1). Notably, the effect of iron on plant height was non-significant. Based on the findings, the application of potassium at 60 kg ha-1 and iron at 15 kg ha-1 is recommended for achieving higher sunflower yields in agro-climatic conditions of Peshawar valley. This study revealed the significance of tailored nutrient management strategies for maximizing sunflower productivity in specific region

Glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoid are contributors to the corticosteroid hormone family, synthesized in the adrenal gland from the precursor sterol LDL cholesterol using the intermediate pregnenolone. Cortisol is an indispensable glucocorticoid in humans (in rodents, corticosterone), and aldosterone is an important mineralocorticoid. Cortisol and aldosterone share a time-honored synthesis pathway, are structurally similar, and exhibit a degree of cross-receptor affinity and function. Nevertheless, small variations in structure permit critical variants in physiological functions. Aldosterone classically acts via the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) to promote sodium transport in the kidney and gut, thereby regulating long-term electrolyte homeostasis and blood stress control. Cortisol, via comparison, is well known for a sizeable range of metabolic and stress-related responses

The biggest obstacle for teachers and tutors is the lack of students' vocabulary. It causes students to feel difficulty understanding the meaning of English, particularly their performance in applying and developing four skills of English. Therefore, this research aims to enhance students' English vocabulary mastery through a semantic mapping learning model. This model was applied to seventh-grade students in the 7.2 class of MTs Al-Yusra Gorontalo, consisting of ten students. Classroom Action Research (CAR) was used as the method of this study. For collecting data, there are four phases of CAR used; they were planning, action, observation, and reflection. Two cycles were applied in this study because the first cycle did not improve students' vocabulary. Based on the data finding on cycle one, the scoring average of students' task results was 56,2. It is because 80% of students still got a low score, and 20% got a perfect score. The content of the task was about the questions of material "Noun". Then, in cycle two, it was applied by involving students in the classroom action; they were asked to present the result of their group discussion of semantic mapping of Noun material. After that, they did the second task, and the average of their score was 79,5. It could be concluded that the semantic mapping model greatly affected the students' mastery of the vocabulary taught by the teacher.
