Economic growth: the structure of production and monetary policies
Authors: Villalobos Céspedes Daniel
Published: October 2024

There is much literature and discussion on the topic of economic growth and money supply given the numerous points of view that exist. In the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers and prominent economists looked to revive employment, investment, and production and to tame rising inflation. Monetary and fiscal policies promoted prior to the outbreak of COVID-19 seem to be the core issue. This essay examines Hayek’s critical assumptions on the effects of the money supply on both the volume and direction of output through production structure, prices, and interest rates. We provide a theoretical model to analyze essential macroeconomic variables and to discover new formulas to measure economic trends and forecast the interest rate at any given instant. Analyzing data from the United States of America according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the Federal Reserve (Fed), the results suggest that one year ago the Fed should have aimed for an interest rate of approximately four percent (4.0%). In the Addendum to this paper, we include a table demonstrating the usefulness of the proposed model when dealing with steady economic growth.

Published: October 2024

This study investigated the effectiveness of a color-coding system on the sentence-construction skills of a Greek child with Down syndrome. A five-stage single-subject design was implemented, consisting of assessment, baseline, treatment, post-treatment and follow-up phases. The treatment protocol was devised based on the Colorful Semantics program (Bryan, 2003). It focused on the construction of SVO clauses in the context of a picture-description task. The sentence-building process involved the segmentation of the target utterance into its basic syntactic constituents, facilitated by color-coding information of the subject, the verb and the object, and the use of wh- questions. Evidence based on an extensive assessment battery guided the selection and the design of the treatment program. During the baseline, post-treatment and follow-up phases, the child described the same set of action images for comparison purposes, whereas the sentence-coding protocol was introduced and implemented within two 45-minute sessions in a single week. In the baseline session, the child produced a full utterance in response only to 2/16 target pictures. After two treatment sessions, the child was able to describe almost all target pictures using full sentences, while adopting the coding system independently, without the aid of the clinician. Additionally, at 8 weeks post-treatment, the child was still able to describe nearly 50% of the pictures correctly, while using full clauses without the aid of the sentence-coding system. Conclusively, these results not only demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed treatment protocol, but also its efficiency and long-term effects. Given that the protocol was applied to a single participant, findings cannot be generalized without conducting a more extensive investigation.
Spectral and temporal acoustic differences between English and Dutch vowels
Authors: Georgiou Georgios P.
Published: October 2024

This study aims to compare the acoustic characteristics of English and Dutch vowels and to model the perception of Dutch vowels by English speakers on the basis of crosslinguistic acoustic similarity. The first three formant frequencies and the duration of vowels were extracted from the output of 20 native English and 20 native Dutch speakers. A linear discriminant analysis (LDA) algorithm was trained on the productions of English speakers and the Dutch productions were later supplied to the model to provide a predicted proportion of how each nonnative vowel would be classified in terms of the speakers’ L1 categories. The results of LDA demonstrated that all but one Dutch vowel were classified as above-chance responses in terms of two or more English categories. Due to the large and complex vowel system of English, completely overlapping contrasts were absent, while there was a large number of partially overlapping contrasts, which are predicted to exhibit moderate-to-good discrimination. The results of crosslinguistic acoustic similarity are largely consistent with those involving other English listeners of Dutch, potentially highlighting the importance of acoustic cues in estimating listeners’ speech perception patterns.

RATIONAL SHIFTS OF THE BASIC RACK’S PROFILE FOR WHEELS OF A CYLINDRICAL SPUR GEAR PAIR TO DECREASE TEETH WEAR
Authors: Popovych A. , Shevchenko V.
Published: October 2024

Purpose. It is to create a method for determination of such shift coefficients of the basic rack’s profile for driving and driven wheels of a cylindrical spur gear pair, that during gear pair operation time the wear rate of a surface layer on the most wearing sections of the teeth’ involute surfaces will be minimal.
Research methods are based on integrated application of the involute gear pair theory and tribological laws. The golden section method is used to minimize the function.
Results. We have obtained a dimensionless quantity, which is a function of shift coefficients of the basic rack’s profile for driving and driven wheels of a cylindrical spur gear pair. Values of this function are proportional to the greatest wear rate in the neighborhood of characteristic points on teeth’ involute profiles of these wheels. The method is created for determination of rational shift coefficients of the basic rack’s profile, which minimize the obtained dimensionless function, and which maximize the service life of the spur gear pair until the greatest worn-layer thickness on the teeth’ active surfaces reaches limiting permissible value.
Scientific novelty. It is proved, that increasing of the worn-layer thickness during spur gear pair operation time will be occurring most rapidly in the neighborhood of certain characteristic points on teeth’ involute profiles of the wheels. Calculation model is elaborated for determination of the worn-layer thicknesses in the neighborhood of extreme active points on teeth’ profiles of the cylindrical spur gear pair and in the neighborhood of the lowest and the highest bounding points of single-pair contact. This model takes into account the influence of specific slides and numbers of wheels’ teeth as well as hardness values of teeth’ surface layer on the wear rates at characteristic points of teeth’ profiles. In addition, the model takes into account sharing of total force of the wheels interaction between two teeth pairs in double-pair contact and also a change of force transmitted by single pair of teeth when it comes into or go out of engagement.
Practical value. Application of the created method for determination of shift coefficients of the basic rack’s profile is expedient in design of cylindrical spur gear pairs for machines and equipment, which operate in conditions when ingress of abrasive particles in the teeth engagement region is possible. An example of application of this method in design calculation of the cylindrical spur gear pair is given.

Javelin throwing characterizes by creation of dynamic effort in shoulder-girdle during the process of movement. The emergence of excessive efforts in the joints of the parts of the body performing this sport exercise leads often to injury to the athlete. In this regard, the actual direction of training and competitive activity is the coordination and rationalization of movements in accordance with the principle of bionic adequacy of the system (in this case, “thrower – javelin”), the result of which is the maximum effectiveness of the exercise in the absence of traumatic effects of loads and movements. Biomechanical analysis of the final stage of javelin throwing was performed on the basis of 659 videos of competitive attempts. The results of measuring the angular displacements of the links of the body relative to each other and the common center of mass of the body in various nodal elements of motion are presented. In the work, the method of posture reference points of movements was used, which made it possible to distinguish starting and final movements, as well as a number of animated positions. Prediction of changes in the position of the body links taking into account the moments and radius of inertia of the links relative to the general center of mass of the thrower body allow us to take preventive measures to exclude deviations from the given optimal trajectory of the body parts. The determination of the ranges of angular positions in the joints of the parts of the body also contributes to the achievement of high sports results.

Published: October 2024

Дана стаття присвячена вивченню питання впровадження принципів сталого розвитку в діяльність компаній та концепції корпоративної соціальної відповідальності. З точки зору компаній, інвестиції розглядаються не лише як передумова для розширення, розвитку та збільшення капіталу, але й як інструмент вирішення соціальних проблем, збільшення людського капіталу та пом’якшення екологічних загроз. Автори даного дослідження зробили спробу відповісти на запитання: як соціальне інвестування впливає на розвиток стратегії корпоративної соціальної відповідальності? Здійснено аналіз дефініції «соціальні інвестиції» та встановлено, що, вона має різне значення для різних представників суспільства, залежно від того, до якого сектору вони належать.
Встановлено, що основна ідея імпакт-інвестування полягає в тому, що інвестиції можуть бути одночасно прибутковими і корисними для суспільства. Це відрізняє його від традиційного благодійництва, де фінансова віддача не є метою, і від традиційного інвестування, яке фокусується виключно на максимізації прибутку. Окреслено напрями імпакт-інвестицій

Дослідження спрямоване на виявлення головних передумов успішного впровадження антикризового менеджменту в туристичних підприємствах, визначенні переваг його здійснення та головних напрямків реалізації. Дослідження проводилось на основі статистичних даних країн Європейського Союзу протягом 2019 – 2023 років [1]. В процесі виконання роботи було використано комплексний підхід, який включає опрацювання результатів наукових досліджень, аналіз статистичних даних, порівняльний аналіз результатів туристичної діяльності країн ЄС. За результатами проведеного дослідження було проаналізовано тенденцію розвитку туристичних підприємств протягом 2020 – 2023 років в країнах ЄС і встановлено, що після пандемії COVID-19 частка туризму значно скоротилась. Лише деяким країнам вдалось повернутись до рівня розвитку 2019 року; лише 16,7% країн ЄС мають стабільну тенденцію показника заїзду резидентів/нерезидентів до закладів розміщення туристів. Актуальним стратегічним напрямом розвитку сучасного туризму є  функціонування на засадах циркулярності, що утворює підґрунтя для розвитку місцевих постачальників, сприяння зменшення відходів, що стимулює інвестування в розробки та впровадження циклічних бізнес-моделей.
Advances in Markerless Motion Capture Systems: A Review of OpenCap and Its Applications
Authors: Yang Hyung Suk
Published: October 2024

Motion capture technology has long been a cornerstone of biomechanical research and analysis, traditionally relying on marker-based systems. However, these systems have inherent limitations, including high costs, time-consuming setup, and constraints on natural movement. Recent advancements in computer vision and machine learning have paved the way for markerless motion capture systems, such as OpenCap, which offer a more accessible and natural approach to biomechanical analysis. This review focuses on OpenCap, exploring its accuracy, challenges, and future potential, while comparing it with traditional motion capture technologies and discussing its applications in sports, clinical rehabilitation, and everyday use. Areas in need of refinement, such as improving pose estimation algorithms and addressing inter-trial variability, are identified as key future research directions. Other markerless systems are also compared in terms of advantages, limitations, and application. The findings suggest that while OpenCap and similar systems hold significant promise, further research and refinement are necessary to fully realize their potential and integrate them seamlessly into various biomechanical applications.
On the (non) History of Preference Purification in Modern Economics
Authors: Hands D. Wade
Published: October 2024

Economists have typically viewed an individual's economic choices as being tightly linked to their preferences, and in turn, their preferences being tightly linked to the welfare associated with those choices. But behavioral economics drove a wedge between choice and preference, and thus, in turn, between choice and welfare. Trying to reconcile the choice-preference-welfare relationship came to be called the reconciliation problem and one of the main approaches to the problem has been called preference purification. But the presumption has been that preference purification only became an issue with the rise of behavioral economics. This paper will argue that is not the case. During the first part of the twentieth century when the ordinal utility theory of consumer choice was still in the early stages of development, there were many economists who thought about preferences in ways that were quite similar to the way that preferences have been characterized in recent debates about preference purification. This paper will discuss the history of this literature in a way that emphasizes the difference between the situational context of this early research on ordinal utility and the quite different situational context of the recent debates on preference purification. The conclusion suggests how these differences in situational context prevented the similarities between the two literatures from being recognized.

Today, the Kaliningrad region has considerablr strategic significance for the Russian Federation. Due to the fact thatthe region is separated from the main part of the country, the quality of water resources is considered a substantial factor for its economicwell-being. One of the main tools in this area is hydrochemical and hydrological monitoring of surface watercourses. The purpose ofthe work is to assess the spatio-temporal dynamics of the Krasnaya River pollution for 4 hydrological seasons in 2022-2023. Monitoringwas carried out during the autumn (10/15/22), winter (01/15/23), spring (04/23/23), and summer (07/19/23) hydrological seasons,during which water samples were taken at 4 hydraulic stations, and hydrometric characteristics were measured to calculate water flowrates. Water samples were examined for the relevant chemical indicators, on the basis of which integral indicators of water qualitywere determined. In turn, their spatio-temporal variability was determined and cartographically expressed. As a result of the study, thepaper provides information about the state of the watercourses and the influence of anthropogenic and natural factors on them. Thespecific combinatorial index of water pollution showed that the river is polluted from source to mouth. Intra-annual variability wasstudied using the WPI and has a similar spatial interpretation, water quality decreases from source to mouth with slight deviations.Temporal variability has developed in such a way that autumn is the most polluted season, while the remaining seasons have nearlyequal average water pollution indices. The main pollutants can be divided into systematic (petroleum products, iron, BOD5, COD) andnon-systematic (sulfate phosphates, ammonium, and low dissolved oxygen). A correlation was discovered between chemical pollutionand the quantitative characteristics of river flow, natural cycles of aquatic and shore vegetation, and vehicle washing. The emissionsof iron and petroleum products do not fit into any specific regular system: the sources of the former are groundwater, of the latter –anthropogenic activities. In general, the situation with water quality on the Krasnaya River is rated as satisfactory.
IDENTIFICATION OF OBJECTS OF ACCUMULATED ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE BASED ON PRIMARY INDICATIVE SIGNS OF DEGRADATION OF UNDERGROUND SPACE

Published: October 2024

Disposal of waste in the soil is one of the most common ways to neutralize it. However, this entails significant risksto the environment, leading to the appearance of objects of accumulated environmental damage (AED). Despite the efforts made bythe state (separate collection, prohibition of disposal of certain types of waste, etc.), it must be recognized that minimizing environmental damage associated with waste is only possible with an integrated approach to solving the problem. The objects of disposal orwaste treatment are often formed as natural-and-technical systems that ensure environmental safety, having a number of distinctivefeatures of their targeted exploitation. The life cycle of such natural-and-technical systems is determined by the time frame of exploitation or the volume of deposited waste, and therefore, systems of this type realize and exhaust their resource as accumulative systems(of collection / storage / disposal) of waste. The results of the study and systematization of geoecological factors of AED made itpossible to formulate in the paper 5 primary indicative signs of degradation of territories and underground space caused by various types of AED. Comparison of AED objects by similarity (pollution) criterion based on binomial distribution shows that even whendepositing the same type of waste, there are no pronounced factors of similarity in pollution between objects: firstly, concentrationvalues may differ by an order of magnitude, secondly, external conditions and similarity of composition in polluting componentscharacterizing the operation of specific facilities may vary significantly – and therefore, primary inventory of AED factors can lead toerroneous results on which further work on the elimination of AED will depend, including an increase in the volume of work and thecost of reclamation.
PECULIARITIES OF CHANGES IN CLIMATE COMFORT INDICES IN THE CITY OF PERM AND SIBERIAN CITIES IN COLD AND WARM PERIODS OF THE YEAR

Weather and climate have a great impact on various sectors of the economy, as well as on human well-being andperformance. In weather-sensitive people, a sudden change in weather can be accompanied by a deterioration in their general conditionand exacerbation of chronic diseases. The main meteorological indicators of weather and climate comfort for humans are temperature,humidity and air pressure, wind speed, precipitation. Comfort is characterized through bioclimatic indices, which physically describethe features of the thermal structure of the environment, being an indirect indicator of the state of the thermal field surrounding a person. The paper deals with the most widespread bioclimatic indices – effective temperature (ET) and equivalent effective temperature(EET), which are widely used in Russia and CIS countries. The study of the peculiarities of changes in ET and EET in cold and warmperiods of the year in the cities of Perm, Omsk, Novosibirsk, and Krasnoyarsk, all having over a million inhabitants, for 1991-2020showed that according to EET the climate in all the cities is more severe than according to ET, especially in the cold period. This isexplained by the fact that at temperatures below +7°C, any wind (even for a fully clothed person) is a cooling factor. The maximumvalues of ET in all months of the cold period are observed in Perm, the westernmost of the studied cities, where the warming influenceof the Atlantic has an effect. The maximum values of EET in November-January are recorded in Perm, in other months – in Krasnoyarsk, where, firstly, the wind load is noticeably less than in Perm, and secondly, the presence of a polynya in the lower reach of theKrasnoyarsk Reservoir has an impact, especially in February and March. The variability of ET and EET in the warm period of the yearis more diverse than in the cold period. In both warm and cold periods, there is a stable tendency for positive anomalies to increasewith time, indicating an increase in climate comfort. However, in Krasnoyarsk, in the cold period, there is a tendency for a decrease inpositive anomalies, indicating a decline in climate comfort.

Background: Airway management in the pediatric population is challenging because of the smaller size, different proportions of anatomical structures compared to adults, and a higher risk of hypoxemia. Efforts to improve the efficiency of pediatric intubation can be made by manually twisting a spiral endotracheal tube (ETT) using a flexible stylet to manipulate its shape and angle. Methods: This controlled trial randomized and assigned fifty children aged one month to six years who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia into two groups (spiral ETT [sETT] and no-stylet ETT/standard ETT). The sETT was formed by twisting the ETT using a handmade tool. The primary objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the sETT compared to the standard ETT in reducing intubation time. Secondary objectives were ETT placement accuracy, first-attempt intubation success rate, and adverse effects.Results: The mean total tube handling time in the sETT group was significantly shorter compared to the no stylet ETT group (sETT 16.8 ± 3.6 vs. standard ETT 18.8 ± 3.7 seconds; t = 2.0; P = 0.049). sETT placement had a significantly greater central placement accuracy (odds ratio, 4.846; 95% confidence interval, 1.287-18.255; P = 0.015). However, first-attempt successful intubation rate (sETT 80% vs. standard ETT 64%, P = 0.208) and total intubation time (sETT: 46.5±5.2 vs. standard ETT 48.4±4.9 seconds; t = 1.3; P = 0.205) were not significantly different. No adverse effects were observed for either ETT type.Conclusions: This study demonstrated the effectiveness of the spiral ETT in reducing total tube handling time and improving ETT placement accuracy in children using video laryngoscopy.
(Dé)cloisonnements et résistances interstitielles

This article is part of a research project looking at the home as a space for resistance and politicisation. Based on a field study of alternative forms of cohabitation, the aim is to rework the very definition of the home, which thus acts as a conceptual operator for rethinking a set of dichotomies that structure political philosophy: the private and the public, the personal and the collective, the intimate and the institutional, the domestic and the political. From this perspective, two types of (de)partitioning are involved: conceptually, the aim is to undo the construction of a threshold that has excluded the home from the political domain, relegating it to an apolitical, pre-political or even anti-political sphere. In so doing, we will be trying to think what kind of resistance can emerge from within the alternative home; how can we think the ability to make a world from the very margins of the world? In architectural terms, the question of partitions, the ones we add, the ones we remove, appears to be one of the recurring reasons for the appropriation and hijacking of the space by its residents. This raises the question of the insistence of a preexisting materiality - that of space, and that of a socio-political order - against which strategies of subversion inevitably clash. How can we think about the ambiguity of resistance - that of contestation and that of conservation - as a dual requirement, without losing the meaning of all political action? In the final analysis, this problematic should be seen as one of articulation between resistance and its framework, and it invites us to rethink that framework.
A Insurreição do Desejo

Pretendo partir de algumas hipóteses publicadas num texto de 2014, escrito por um grupo francês anónimo chamado Comitê Invisível, e intitulado Aos nossos amigos: Crise e Insurreição. E por quê justamente este livro, agora? Porque, na sua primeira parte, ele mostra como a fabricação de uma crise, política e económica, constitui uma tecnologia de governo, um modo calculado de retomada do poder pelo conservadorismo mais regressivo sob o manto da legalidade – e o Brasil é o exemplo mais vivo e recente disso.
Máquinas sobrenaturais e outros habitantes da tríplice fronteira antropológica

A dupla aceleração que marca nossa época, a saber, a catástrofe cumulativa do Antropoceno, com tudo o que isso implica de fracasso civilizatório, de ecocídio planetário e talvez de suicídio biológico, e o desenvolvimento tecnológico muito rápido dos dispositivos lógico-materiais de “inteligência artificial” (IA), está provocando um enorme reboliço na tríplice fronteira antropológica entre os humanos, os demais viventes e as máquinas neuromórficas, como os computadores programados por Deep Learning e os aplicativos chatGPT, LaMDA, Bard etc. Isso enquanto aguardamos os extraterrestres, que demoram a chegar, e enquanto assistimos perplexos ao retorno de uma imagem despótica de Deus à cena da história. Pois o Espírito, ou melhor, os espíritos, também frequentam esta fronteira, como veremos. A descodificação capitalista, longe de superar, contraproduz a sobrecodificação “bárbara”. Quanto mais desterritorialização neoliberal, mais reterritorialização fascista.

El confinamiento por la pandemia del covid-19 causó estragos en el sistema educativo mexicano. El cierre de las escuelas llevó a la migración a la virtualidad; con ello modificó la forma tradicional de enseñanza y aprendizaje. A pesar del regreso a la presencialidad, en México se identifica un rezago educativo producto del confinamiento y afectaciones en la esfera psicosocial de los estudiantes que no han sido suficientemente atendidos. El objetivo de esta investigación fue caracterizar, desde la opinión de estudiantes de bachillerato, el clima del aula virtual, estrategias didácticas y la interacción social, para identificar las afectaciones psicoemocionales derivadas por el confinamiento. Se encuestó a 2927 estudiantes de seis bachilleratos mexicanos. Se trabajó un diseño mixto no experimental y transversal. El análisis de datos combinó estadística descriptiva y minería de textos cualitativos. Los resultados indicaron que el clima del aula virtual fue aburrido y con poca interacción social (43 %); que la modalidad virtual se basó principalmente en programas para videoconferencia (97 %); que el 61 % de los estudiantes sufrió ansiedad causada por la incertidumbre generada por el contexto pandémico; que al 50 %, el aislamiento le produjo soledad, y que el 49 % de ellos se sintió decepcionado porque no se cumplieron sus expectativas educativas. Esto coincide con la literatura, dado el contexto incierto caracterizado por una pandemia intermitente, se recomienda capacitar a los docentes mexicanos para la enseñanza en ambientes virtuales enfocados en mejorar el clima del aula y atender las afectaciones psicoemocionales en los estudiantes, factores que pueden limitar el logro de aprendizajes significativos futuros.

Günümüzde küreselleşmenin yoğun ve önü alınamaz etkisi ile örgütler tek kültürlü yaşamdan uzaklaşarak çok ve çeşitli kültürlü yaşama doğru dönüşüm yaşamaktadır. Bu dönüşüm doğrultusunda; örgütlerde kadınların işgücüne katılımı, kültür farklılıkları, yabancı uyruklu çalışanların sayısının artışı, farklı beceri, bilgi, eğitim, yaş ve yeteneğe sahip çalışanların tek bir örgütte bulunması ile farklılıkların yönetimi konusu büyük önem taşımaya başlamış olup, örgütlere rekabet avantajı sağlaması bağlamında da bir strateji haline gelmiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı lojistik sektöründe farklılıkların yönetimi anlamında kurumların mevcut algılarını inceleyerek sektörün mevcut durumu hakkında net bir projeksiyon sunmaktır. Bu amaçla araştırmada nitel ve nicel yöntemlerden yararlanılmıştır. Lojistik şirketlerinin İK yöneticileri ile gerçekleştirilen yapılandırılmış mülakatlar sonucunda edinilen veriler MAXQDA-22 paket programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Nicel bağlamda da lojistik şirketleri çalışanlarına çevrimiçi ve elden ulaştırılan anket aracılığı ile toplanan 319 adet veri SPSS programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın öne çıkan sonuçlarından biri, erkek egemen kabul edilen lojistik sektöründe günümüz algısı cinsiyet gözetmeksizin yetkinlik temelli olması gerektiğinin tüm İK yöneticileri tarafından vurgulanmasıdır. Öte yandan yöneticiler tarafından odaklanılan bir diğer konu ise, mesleki eğitimin, üniversitelerdeki staj programlarının ve sürekli gelişimin önemidir. Son olarak kadın çalışanların sektörde kendilerine yer bulabilmeleri adına, esnek çalışma modeli, uzaktan çalışma ve kota uygulaması da farkındalık geliştireceğinden olumlu şekilde değerlendirilmiştir.

Büyük ekonomilerin, cinsiyet eşitliği konusundaki stratejileri, küresel ekonomiyi ve küresel ekonomi ile ilişkili diğer boyutları etkileyebilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, dünyanın en büyük ekonomileri olan G7 ülkelerinin cinsiyet eşitliği performanslarının analizinin önemli olduğu düşünülebilir. Böylelikle hangi G7 ülkesinin/ülkelerinin küresel ekonomiye katkısı için cinsiyet eşitliği performansını/performanslarını artırması gerektiğinin tespiti yapılabilecektir. Bu kapsamda araştırmanın amacı, 2022 yılı için G7 ülkelerinin Küresel Cinsiyet Eşitsizliği Endeksi (Global Gender Gap Index-GGGI) bileşen verileri ile söz konusu ülkelerin cinsiyet eşitliği performansları SECA çok kriterli karar verme yöntemi (ÇKKV) ile ölçülmek olarak belirlenmiştir. Bulgular incelendiğinde, ülkelere göre GGGI bileşenlerinin önemlilik dereceleri politik güçlendirme, sağlık ve hayatta kalma, eğitim durumu ile ekonomik katılım ve fırsat olarak sıralanmıştır. Diğer bir bulguya göre ülkelerin cinsiyet eşitliği performanslarının sıralamaları ise Almanya, İngiltere, Fransa, Kanada, ABD, İtalya ve Japonya olarak belirlenmiştir. Ülkelerin ayrıca ortalama cinsiyet eşitliği performans değeri hesaplanmış ve söz konusu değerin altında performansa sahip olan ülkelerin İtalya ve Japonya olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Dolayısıyla Japonya ve İtalya’nın küresel ekonomiye katkısının daha fazla olması için cinsiyet eşitliği performansını artırması gerektirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Yöntem açısından ise ayırım ve korelâsyon analizlerine göre ülkelerin cinsiyet eşitliği performanslarının SECA yöntemi ile ölçülebileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
