ABSTRAK

Air bersih merupakan kebutuhan dasar di setiap lingkungan hidup. Penyediaan air bersih di kota dikelola

oleh Perusahan Daerah Air Minum (PDAM), tidak semua wilayah bisa terjangkau dan terlewati jalur distribusi

air bersih. Dengan pertumbuhan penduduk yang terus meningkat, tentunya semakin bertambahnya kebutuhan

manusia terhadap konsumsi air bersih. Pertumbuhan penduduk berpotensi menyebabkan peningkatan jumlah

pelanggan PDAM dan seiring waktu akan mengalami perubahan terhadap penggunaan pola konsumsi kebutuhan

air, yang menyebabkan kebutuhan air bersih akan mengalami peningkatan, disisi lain ketersediaan air semakin

menurun. Dalam penelitian ini, akan dianalisis kemampuan jaringan distribusi air bersih tahun 2031 dan studi

perencanaan kebutuhan air bersih tahun tahun 2031 PDAM Banyumas pada wilayah pelayanan SPAM Patikraja

dengan aplikasi program Epanet 2.0.Berdasarkan data hasil analisis jaringan distribusi air bersih PDAM

Kabupaten Banyumas pada wilayah pelayanan SPAM Patikraja, diperoleh bahwa nilai kebutuhan air tahun 2021

sebesar 17,137 liter/detik masih dibawah kapasitas sumber air baku sedangkan tahun 2031 sebesar 34,438

liter/detik kebutuhan air melebihi kapasitas sumber air baku. Nilai tekanan tiap node tahun 2021 dan 2031 sesuai

ketentuan DPU. Kecepatan aliran dalam pipa dari seluruh jumlah pipa tahun 2031 yang sesuai dengan kecepatan

Enugu-Ezike community stands out in the Southeast of Nigeria as regards the practice of traditional medicine. Their traditional healers have been making remarkable success in the area of healing mental illness through indigenous knowledge. The acclaimed success has been made possible through different methods and practices. This research is focused on mental illness in Enugu-Ezike, Nigeria as it seeks to document the different types of mental illness and examine the causes and methods of diagnosing the ailment and cure. The study also sought to determine the active ingredients found in traditional herbs used in the treatment of mental illness. The study was conducted using both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection. A semi-structured interview was conducted for the key informants, which include traditional healers and elders with rich cultural knowledge about the mental health system. Information from individuals healed from mental illness and their caregivers corroboratedthe data from the traditional healers and elders. Two sets of instruments were used for data collection, namely: a structured questionnaire and an interview guide. A participant as an observer was also used to gather data. Data analysis was mostly descriptive, relying on generated data from both qualitative and quantitative methods. The result of the study emanates from all the data generated, including the chemical analysis of roots/herbs used in mental treatment. The results showed that violating taboos,anger toward ancestral spirits, and stealing are the causes of mental illness. Divination, sacrifices, and physical observation are the commonest methods of diagnosis. Treatment of mental illness takes different forms such as the administration of herbs and roots, sacrifices to appease the angered spirits, and rituals. Chemical analysis reveals that active metabolites found in plants used by healers in the treatment of mental illness in other places were also found in herbs used by traditional healers in the study area.

Published: July 2023

This paper presents pieces of evidence of the use of Politeness Strategies and Face threateningActs in dialogues between characters in two drama texts: Death and the King’s Horseman by Wole Soyinka, a Nigerian author (text A) and Othello by William Shakespeare, an English author (text B). This research analyses the relationship between Pilkings, Amusa and Joseph in Death and the King’s Horseman and the relationship between Othello and Iago in Othello. The analysis utilisesthe politeness theory by Brown and Levinson (1978 and 1987) which revolves around the concept of face by Erving Goffman(1967). The thrust of thistheory is to minimise conflict and foster harmony in social interaction. In order to answer the following questions, the data werepurposively selected and qualitative research design is utilized: Do the speeches in the texts satisfy the principle of politeness? What kind of meaning interpretation is depicted in these drama texts? How has speech been used to show the kind of relationship that exists between these characters? It was discovered that while Amusa is utilising negative strategy, Pilkings always makesuse of negative face-threatening actsto avoid his subordinates losing their fear and respect for him; he usespositive face strategy when he dearly needshis subordinates to give him the response he needs. In Othello, the positive face strategy is deployed to enhance an ideal and harmonious master-servant relationship. This paper concludes that the use of politeness strategies is contextualised by the use of power relations between speaker and listener.
Nature of conflict and the prospect of traditional institutions of conflict resolutions in contemporary Africa: the Nigeria example
Authors:   Department of History and International Studies, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria, Okpevra Uwomano Benjamin
Published: July 2023

The paper underscores the nature of conflict and examines ethnic and communal conflicts in Nigeria. It proposes a mechanism for resolving ethnic conflicts, which melds the theory of conflict, conflict resolution, and peace-building with traditional African values. It also highlights the importance of empowering local community leaders with appropriate skills in conflict prevention, management, and resolution without recourse to external intervention. Given that the abandonment of ‘utility-laden’ traditional mechanisms of conflict resolution for foreign models mostly gave rise to the myriads of avoidable violent conflicts all over Africa, it becomes a desideratum to revive and promote hitherto traditional mechanisms of conflict resolution in Nigeria. The paper adopts the historical and analytical method of research deploying secondary data to achieve its aim. The paper in its little form contributes to the trajectory of alternative conflict resolution process of ethnic and community conflicts in Nigeria, which serves as a possible model for other African nations.

Published: July 2023

Background & Objectives: Symptomatic carotid artery stenosis (SCAS) is one of the most important causes of ischemic stroke. We aimed to investigate the relationship between hematological and inflammatory parameters in patients with SCAS and controls.
Method: Patients who underwent digital subtraction angiography for SCAS were evaluated retrospectively. Patients with carotid stenosis greater than 50% who had a stroke in the last six months were included in the study. Clinical and sociodemographic characteristics, stent characteristics, filter use, balloon dilatation status, arch type, presence of contralateral occlusion, and complication status were recorded. Hemogram was evaluated using fluorescence flow cytometry. Data were analyzed among patients with SCAS, ischemic stroke patients without stenosis and healthy control group.
Results: SCAS was higher in patients with advanced age, male, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, and a history of stroke as compared to healthy individuals (p<0.001). Smoking and atrial fibrillation were higher in group without carotid stenosis and who had ischemic stroke (p<0.001). Hemoglobin and hematocrit values were higher in healthy control group (p=0.001). Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were higher in SCAS patients (p<0.001); Neutrophil and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was higher in the group with stroke and without stenosis (p <0.001). There was no relationship between blood parameters and procedure technical features and complications (p> 0.05).
Conclusion: Hematologic parameters like PLR, NLR and RDW level are correlated with SCAS. PLR, NLR and RDW value can be an inexpensive and useful biomarker for predicting SCAS.
Fatal triad of checkpoint inhibitors: Pembrolizumab induced myasthenia gravis with myositis and myocarditis in a patient with thymoma
Authors: Seker Demet , Yildirim Ahmet
Published: July 2023

Pembrolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that acts by blocking programmed cell death proteins, however, its use is limited in patients with thymoma. We describe a 31-year-old woman with thymoma who developed myocarditis, myositis and exacerbation of myasthenia gravis due to use of pembrolizumab. There were elevations of creatine phosphokinase, troponin T, CK-MB, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase. Electrophysiologic studies showed a myopathic pattern and more than 10% decremental response on repetitive nerve stimulation. Steroid and intravenous immunoglobulin treatment was initiated. Because of a lack of improvement she received 5 cycles of plasma exchange. The patient benefited significantly from plasmapheresis and was discharged with noninvasive mechanical ventilation after one hundred and fifteen days of hospitalization. Plasmapheresis in the early period can be an effective treatment option in patients who develop severe neurological symptom with use of checkpoint inhibitors.

Published: July 2023

Background & Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between COVID-19 infection/ vaccination and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and to compare clinical characteristics and functional outcomes between COVID-19-related and non-COVID-19 GBS patients.
Method: The medical files of the patients who sought treatment with the diagnosis of GBS between March 2020 and July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into groups as COVID-19-related GBS (C-GBS) and non-COVID-19 GBS (NC-GBS). Demographic and clinical characteristics, neurological examination findings, treatment protocols, and outcomes, including functional status, ambulation level, independence in daily living activities, and anxiety-depression levels of the patients with GBS, were recorded.
Results: A total of 25 patients were included in the study. GBS was found to be associated with COVID-19 in 9 (36%) patients. Among them, 5 (20%) patients developed GBS after COVID-19 infection and 4 (16%) after the COVID-19 vaccine. The latency between COVID-19 infection and the onset of GBS ranged from 7 to 60 days, and the latency between vaccination and the onset of GBS ranged from 3 to 60 days. The clinical presentation and features, disease severity, and electrodiagnostic patterns of C-GBS patients were similar to NC-GBS patients. Also, there was no significant difference between patients with C-GBS and NC-GBS regarding functional status, ambulation level, functional independence in daily activities, and anxiety-depression levels.
Conclusion: GBS is not uncommon in COVID-19. In this study, 20% of GBS cases admitted to our hospital during the pandemic seem to be associated with COVID-19 infection and 16% with COVID-19 vaccination. However, clinical features and functional outcomes of C-GBS and NC-GBS cases are similar.

Authors: Li Limin , Fong Choong Yi , Lim Wei Kang , Foo Jen Chun , Azman Raja Rizal , Bahuri Nor Faizal Ahmad , Mun Kein Seong
Published: July 2023

Gliomatosis cerebri (GC) is a rare extensively infiltrating growth pattern of diffuse glioma with wide clinical heterogeneity, often mimicking other disorders. GC usually affects the white matter and involvement predominantly of the deep gray matter at onset is uncommon. We describe a teenager who presented with bi-thalamic and left hippocampal-parahippocampal lesions at first presentation with a 1-month history of right-sided motor hemiparesis and hemiataxia. Over a 1-year period the lesion spread to the bi-temporal, right insular cortex, and bi-frontal cerebral hemisphere associated with multiple cranial palsies and progressive dementia. Histological examination revealed a high- grade anaplastic astrocytoma consistent with GC. Our case widens the phenotypic spectrum of GC. Clinicians need to consider GC in children with lesions in the deep gray matter in combination with pyramidal, cranial nerve palsies and extrapyramidal signs.
Neuroimaging Clinics: Central Nervous System Infections
Authors: Chong Victor
Published: July 2023

The recent Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the potential for infectious diseases to cause catastrophe of biblical scale with unprecedented speed. Within months of onset, the pandemic almost brought to their knees the health care systems of some of the most advanced and developed cities on earth, in addition to the eventual millions of mortalities and many millions more morbidities. Of the many lessons learnt and re-learnt, the importance of early diagnosis and intervention is repeatedly emphasized. This is true not just for Covid19 infections, but also for the commonest and most important central nervous system infections such as bacterial meningitis and herpes simplex encephalitis. Automated molecular diagnostic tests may provide rapid microbiologic diagnosis for a broad array of infectious agents, however, imaging modalities remain indispensable as a first line tool not only in the diagnosis of central nervous system infections, but also the detection of complications, and in providing important cues in anatomical, pathophysiological and clinical correlations. The current volume edited by Lim T and Mukherji SK contributed to a significant and timely update on this important yet often under-taught topic of central nervous system infections.
Hyponatremia as an early marker of poor outcome of stroke - results of a prospective cohort study
Authors: Ranasinghe Vindya Ranasinghe , Bowatta Gayan , Gawarammana Indika Bandara
Published: July 2023

Background & Objective: Hyponatremia is a frequently found complication of stroke. However, its impact on stroke outcome is poorly understood. Hence, the purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of strokes in association with hyponatremia.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary referral center in Sri Lanka. The study subjects consisted of 246 patients with confirmed stroke. Patient characteristics, mortality, length of hospital stay and functional outcome by Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) score were assessed to evaluate the effect of hyponatremia (<131mmol/l) on stroke. Early mortality was defined as the total number of deaths occurred by 70 days. The “not favorable” MRS score was defined from 4 to 6.
Results: Out of 246 patients, 47 patients (19.1%) developed hyponatremia (95% confidence interval (CI): 14.39, 24.58). The mean day of development of hyponatremia was 1.81days (SD=1.73). Hyponatremia was associated with early mortality (OR=2.08; 95% CI: 1.05, 4.1; P=0.034), increased length of hospital stay (β=2.37; 95% CI: 1.51, 3.23; P= <0.001) and “not favourable” functional outcome at discharge (OR=2.59; 95% CI: 1.33, 5.05; P=0.005). Kaplan Meier survival curve analysis showed better chance of survival in non-hyponatremic group compared to hyponatremic group (P =0.02).
Conclusion: Hyponatremia is associated with early mortality, increased length of hospital stay and unfavorable functional outcome at discharge following stroke. Early detection and correction of hyponatremia may improve stroke outcome.

Grey matter analysis in non-severe COVID-19 points out limbic-related cortex and substantia nigra
Authors: TASKIRAN-SAG Aslihan , Guleryuz Kizil Pinar , Yuce Deniz , Eroglu Erdal
Published: July 2023

Background & Objective: It is unknown whether occult neurological damage exists in mild COVID-19 patients. Obtaining direct histopathological evidence is difficult and often inappropriate. Radiological tools provide important clues regarding this issue. We aimed to investigate any overt or subtle changes in brain magnetic resonance (MR) scans of patients who recovered from non-severe COVID-19 at subacute stage.
Methods: Cortical thicknesses/areas were measured in the olfactory bulb (OB), gyri recti, amygdalae, hippocampi, entorhinal cortices, perirhinal cortices, insulae, and substantia nigrae (SN) and compared with controls. Gross findings have also been reported. We assessed the correlations between radiological and clinical parameters.
Results: Twenty percent of the patients had abnormal MR scans (mild ventriculomegaly, a hyperintense lesion, a lacune and hydrocephalus) although their relevance to COVID-19 was unknown. We found increased cortical thickness in bilateral OB, left entorhinal cortex, right perirhinal cortex, bilateral insulae, and bilateral gyri recti (p<0.05 for all). Right OB was thinner in patients with anosmia (p=0.015) and ageusia (p=0.004). Left perirhinal cortex and left gyrus rectus were thicker in patients with vertigo (p=0.040; p=0.032 respectively). Sleep disturbance was associated to increased thickness in left perirhinal cortex (p=0.033). Patients with brain fog had smaller SN bilaterally (right p=0.028 and left p=0.011). Patients with anxiety symptoms after COVID-19 had increased right hippocampal area(p=0.023). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was correlated to the thickness of right perirhinal cortex (r=-0.57, p=0.02) while CRP, time since COVID-19 and age were not.
Conclusion: These changes in limbic areas, insula and SN necessitate close monitoring of patients for autonomic complications, and secondary neurodegenerative processes.
Autopsy evidence of central and peripheral demyelination in a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome/ Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis overlap syndrome
Authors: Cabungcal Ana Gabriela , Pabellano-Tiongson Ma. Luisa Gwenn
Published: July 2023

We report a case of a 59-year-old male who had acute, severe, rapidly progressive ascending weakness, which progressed to difficulty of breathing in a span of twelve hours. Neurophysiologic studies showed acute denervation compatible with acute motor axonal neuropathy. He was started on intravenous immunoglobulin therapy on the first day of hospitalization and completed five days of treatment but still developed decrease in sensorium and bilateral ophthalmoplegia. Imaging studies of the brain and cervical spinal cord showed findings that are non-contributory to the clinical presentation, leading to the consideration of Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis. Pulse therapy with high dose methylprednisolone for five days was given however, despite maximal treatment, he expired on the 12th day of illness. Post-mortem immunohistochemical studies of the pons and sural nerve showed areas of inflammation and demyelination in both areas, suggesting combined central and peripheral demyelination in a single patient. Literature review shows that our patient presents with atypical clinical and diagnostic features, different from Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis and combined central and peripheral demyelination, suggesting another disease entity presenting as acute fulminant neuropathy.

Published: July 2023

Rett syndrome is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs mostly in females. De novo mutations in the MECP2 gene have an important role in the appearance of the features of this syndrome. We planned to study spectrum of MECP2 mutations in Rett syndrome patients and their clinical symptoms. A cohort of 29 patients referred by neurologists from Iranian Azeri Turks was screened. Then direct sequencing was utilized to characterize the spectrum of mutations in the MECP2 gene in Rett syndrome patients. A total of 10 different mutations on MECP2 gene were detected in 22 patients. We identified 2 (9%) frameshift, 10 (45.64%) nonsense, 8 (36.4%) missense mutations, and 2(9%) large deletions. In this cohort, one of the detected deletions was novel, namely 1023-1096del74nt. Random X chromosome inactivation in females’ cells and different MECP2 mutations can cause a phenotypic variability between patients. This is the first report regarding the spectrum of MECP2 mutation and phenotypic spectrum in Iranian Azeri Turks with Rett syndrome. Our finding confirms a high mutation frequency (75.8%) of MECP2 gene in Iranian Rett syndrome patients.

Authors: YALÇIN GÜLŞEN , Ersen Atilla , Anıl Murat
Published: July 2023

Background & Objectives: Febrile seizures (FS) are the most common neurological emergencies in childhood. The differentiation of FS types is generally evaluated based on the clinical features of the seizure, and there is currently no laboratory test to guide this process. In this study, the relationship between FS types and laboratory tests was examined and the power of these parameters in differential diagnosis was investigated.
Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 184 cases were evaluated in three groups: simple FS (n:107), complicated FS (n:35), and control group (n:42). At the time of admission; hemogram, biochemical and blood gas analysis, prolactin, cortisol values, and laboratory indices were examined in terms of diagnosis.
Results: Among the groups; sodium (Na), glucose (G), Glucose/potassium ratio (GPR), C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cells (WBC), platelet count (PLT), neutrophil count (N), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte count (L), mean platelet volume (MPV), MPV/PLT ratio (MPR), Hb, Htc, lactate, prolactin, and cortisol have a statistically significant difference in values (p<0,05). If the simple FS and complicated FS groups were compared, a statistically significant difference was found between sodium, GPR, NLR, MPR, lactate, prolactin, and cortisol values (p<0.001). In the ROC curve analysis, it was determined that there was the good and excellent diagnostic ability for these parameters.
Conclusion:This study is one of the few studies investigating the relationship between FS types and laboratory parameters. We think that sodium, GPR, NLR, MPR, lactate, prolactin, and cortisol levels will help to differentiate FS types.
Tefsirlerde Rivâyet Ve Dirâyet Ayrımının Objektifliği Sorunsalı

Ekseriyetle tefsirler, rivâyet ve dirâyet olmak üzere ikiye ayrılmaktadır. Lakin hemen hemen her rivâyet tefsirinde dirâyetin, her dirâyet tefsirinde de rivâyetin öğelerinin bulunduğu görülmektedir. Bu tespitlere rağmen tefsirlerin, rivâyet ve dirâyet şeklinde iki türü bulunmaktadır. Bu kategorizenin ne kadar sahih olduğu tartışılmalıdır. Tefsirlerin rivâyet ve dirâyet şeklinde tasnif edilmesi, birçok problemi de gün yüzüne çıkarmaktadır. Nitekim yapılan bu ayrım, tefsir okuyucularının zihinlerini olayları tek taraflı değerlendirmeye sevk etmekte, tefsir tarihine bütüncül bakışı engellemekte konu hakkında gelen mevcut görüşlerin farklı yönlerinin görülmesine ket vurmaktadır. Tefsir kitaplarının dirâyet ve rivâyet metotlarına dayanarak ikiye ayrılması konusu tamamen spesifiktir. Bu M. Hüseyin Zehebî'den sonra gündeme gelmiş ve yaygınlaşma noktasında taban bulmuştur. Rivâyet tefsirinin dirâyet tefsirinden tamamen bağımsız bir tefsir çeşidi olarak değerlendirilmesi ilmî kriterler yönünden isabetli bulunmamaktadır. Ne tam bir rivâyet tefsirinin dirâyetten ve ne de dirâyet tefsirinin rivâyetten uzak ve bağımsız olması mümkün değildir. Her iki tefsir türünün içiçe olduğunu ve birbirini tamamladığını söylemek mümkündür. Bu makalede tefsirlerde rivâyet ve dirâyet ayrımı yapılırken ortaya konan ölçütlerin objektif olmadığına, ayrıca bu temel ölçütlerin ayrım noktasında pratiğe yansıtılmasının tam anlamı ile gerçekleşmediğine vurgu yapılmıştır.
Strain Management in Perovskite Solar Cells
Authors: Zhao Yuanyuan
Published: July 2023

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) currently hold the record for highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) at an impressive 25.7%. However, the state-of-the-art PCEs still fall below theoretical limits, and the long-term stability remains a critical concern for practical implementation of PSCs. Due to the soft ionic nature of metal halide perovskites, the inevitable strain effect on perovskite films has been found to be a key factor in determining both efficiency and stability. In this review, we summarize the recent advancements on the origins of strain, the characterization methodologies, and the impact of strain on perovskite films, as well as various strategies employed to regulate strain and enhance the intrinsic performance of perovskites and solar cells. Our intention is to facilitate scientists with an exhaustive comprehension of the strain effect, and stimulate research endeavors in strain management aimed at enhancing device performance and commercialization.
Small-scale variation in available water capacity of the soil influences height growth of single trees in Southern Germany

Published: July 2023

Aim of study: Detecting possible small-scale soil effects on height growth of single trees in monospecific stands of three important tree species (Abies alba, Fagus sylvatica, and Picea abies). Area of study: 37 mature stands along an ecological gradient in Southern Germany from the cold and wet “optimal niche zone” to warmer and drier niche zones, including gravelly soils with poor water supply. Material and methods: Measurement of achieved height and age of 15 to 20 sample trees per stand. Estimation of the available water capacity of the soil (AWC) in close proximity to sample trees based on soil texture following the German soil survey guidelines. Examining height growth depending on niche zone and AWC.   Main results: On sites (stand level) with the lowest water regime, height growth increased significantly with AWC of microsites. The estimated effect on height growth over the whole range of AWC values was almost 8 m at those sites. In contrast, the effect was negative on optimal sites. For intermediate and marginal sites, the effect was positive, albeit not significant for marginal sites. Research highlights: To our knowledge this is the first study about small-scale effects of AWC on height growth of single trees in temperate European forests. Small-scale soil variability should be considered in future scientific studies and practical evaluation, involving single tree performance at stands with low water regime. This seems particularly important in genetic environmental associations studies and in the process of selecting trees for breeding purposes in such stands.

El trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto legal por la falta de normativas jurídicas en cuanto a la utilización de Criptomonedas en el Paraguay. Se enfocó a una investigación cualitativa de corte transversal, exploratorio y descriptivo. La recolección de datos se realizó en el 2022 mediante la revisión bibliográfica de documentos (libros, tesis y artículos científicos). Los criterios de inclusión fueron: fuentes bibliográficas relacionadas al tema de las Criptomonedas y otros aspectos relacionados a ella, tanto en el contexto nacional como internacional. Los resultados más relevantes fueron: las Criptomonedas no dependen de ningún estado puesto que no existe una legislación que regule su uso y su valor podría llegar a ser nulo de un día para otro. Asimismo, es considerado muy cambiante y de alta volatilidad, donde sumando a las fallas informáticas eventuales pueden generar poca transparencia sirviendo de esta manera a la posibilidad de fraudes y evasión de impuestos. Se concluye que Paraguay tiene posibilidades de avanzar económicamente a través de los nuevos medios virtuales, siempre y cuando cuente con leyes jurídicas que regule su uso en el mercado nacional.

The Role of National Development Banks on Economic Growth: BNDES Case
Authors: lu M
Published: July 2023

In this paper, the effect of loans from Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) on economic growth is evaluated from different aspects: total loans, loans by maturity, sectorial distribution of loans and loans by currency. FMOLS, DOLS and CCR methods are applied for 2002q1-2022q3 periods. Then, the paper also uses OLS estimation method to check the results. The findings show that total loans have a positive effect on economic growth. Additionally, different types of loans are positively related to economic growth, as well.

Published: July 2023

Cannabis sativus L. is an annual, deciduous, dimorphic, flowering plant that is distributed all over the world. Despite its tremendous and handy usage in medicinal and other areas, the cultivation, production, and trade of cannabis are illegal in most of the countries. It is so because of some of its harmful side effects on human health when consumed haphazardly or addictively. Following the declaration made by the UN Assembly, some countries, including the Republic of South Africa, Canada, Germany, Australia, Colombia, and Indonesia, have legalized the indoor cultivation and production of cannabis, as well as cannabis-based products. Cannabis can thrive in a wide range of climatic and ecological conditions. Cannabis can be propagated via seeds, cuttings, grafting, micropropagation, etc. The plants are mainly cultivated for their chemical constituents like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol, cannabinol, etc., which are extracted from their dried flowers. This study illustrates the production technology, current legal status, and botanical characteristics of Cannabis sativus.

A Study on the Impact of Fiscal Pressure on the Deviation of Local Government Budget Revenues
Authors: Ye Chen
Published: July 2023

This paper examines the impact of fiscal pressure on the degree of deviation from budgetary revenue based on provincial panel data from 2011 to 2020. The results show that fiscal pressure has a positive impact on the deviation of local government budget revenues, with the impact of fiscal pressure on the deviation of non-tax revenues significantly higher than that of tax revenues; the positive impact of fiscal pressure on the deviation of local government budget revenues is more obvious in regions with higher reliance on land finance; the proportion of tax revenues in fiscal revenues negatively moderates the impact of fiscal pressure on the deviation of local government budget revenues. The impact of fiscal pressure on the degree of deviation of local government budgetary revenue is negatively moderated by the share of tax revenue in fiscal revenue.

The impact of global remittance inflows on numerous macro and microeconomic parameters has long piqued the interest of researchers, policymakers, and academics. Remittances have always been vital to Turkey's development as a remittance recipient country. However, this trend has recently changed, Turkey is currently receiving significantly less remittance, and this reduction in remittance is well noted in its economic performance. This study is an attempt in this regard to find out whether remittance inflow to Turkey will be sustained in the future or its decline will continue. The findings of this study will provide insight to the country's economic and financial policymakers in devising policies that would ensure future remittance inflows. An auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) approach is applied, and remittance inflow data from 1974 to 2019 is used to forecast remittance inflow for the next 11 years till 2030. According to the results, remittances would drop to a level of -1.00 percent of GDP in 2030, down from 4.00 per cent in 1974.

Life expectancy marks the success of efforts to provide basic rights, such as access to good health services. Lack of improvement in conditions or stagnation is often considered a cause for concern because it can lead to a decline in the health profile of the population driven by adverse socioeconomic status trends. Consequently, the determinants of modeling the life expectancy of males and females in Indonesia was carefully selected by collecting data in 34 Indonesian provinces from 2010-2020. The modeling was carried out using the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) method with the GMM system model approach. The results showed that the availability of health infrastructure and environmental conditions, such as sanitation and access to safe drinking water are very important to support and guarantee access to health services needed by the community. Social and economic status, such as GRDP per capita, literacy, unemployment, and poverty also contribute to the increase in life expectancy of males and females in Indonesia. Furthermore, the realization of government policies in the health sector must be continuously evaluated for the sustainability of the infrastructure development acceleration program by prioritizing community welfare improvement.

The article deals with the analysis of the economy of the largest retail chains operating in the highly competitive Fast-Moving Consumer Goods market in the Czech Republic; the analysis of the relationships between selected economic indicators and key national economic variables. This research used data from annual reports and the audited financial statements of firms operating individual retail chains from 2005 to 2020. The research includes nine commercial companies and focuses on the development of sales, costs and cost ratios, profit and profitability, and assets and resources. The relationships between the indicators are evaluated using correlation analysis, and the similarity of trade chains using cluster analysis. From the point of view of retail formats, discounters are particularly successful, which, together with medium-sized supermarkets, are growing at the expense of hypermarkets and large supermarkets. Success and dominance in the Czech market are related to high labour productivity and low unit costs. The combination of price promotions and a wide range of private products, characteristic of discount chains, is very attractive to customers and, together with low unit costs, creates the potential for increasing the market share of discounters. Hypermarkets and large supermarkets will face further stagnation and pressure to downsize stores, automate and use other cost-cutting methods. The article brings new insights into the economics of FMCG chains operating in the Czech market, emphasising the differences between trade formats in perspective from 2005.
Trålundersökning av fisk i Västerhavet : International Bottom Trawl Survey 2023 kvartal 1
Authors: Bland Barbara , Börjesson Patrik
Published: July 2023

IBTS trålexpedition i Västerhavet genomförs två gånger årligen, i kvartal 1 och 3 och täcker Skagerrak, Kattegatt och delar av östra Nordsjön. Den franska bottentrålen GOV används för fisket dagtid. Under kvartal 1 används också en mindre finmaskig trål nattetid för provtagning av primärt sill-larver. Under expeditionen genomfördes totalt 46 godkända tråldrag med GOV-trålen, 5 i Nordsjön, 22 i Skagerrak och 19 i Kattegatt. Den totala fångsten uppgick till drygt 14,9 ton (nästan 45 % utgjordes av sillfiskar) och inkluderade 69 fiskarter. Den biologiska provtagningen som också innefattar insamling av otoliter för åldersbestämning, gjordes på de kommersiellt betydelsefulla arterna. Totalt togs 5479 otoliter från 11 olika arter. Preliminära abundansindex på 1-gruppen hos målarterna beräknades. Larvtrålningen resulterade i 47 godkända tråldrag, 67 sillarver, 493 sardinlarver, 5 glasålar men inga skarpsillslarver.
