Objective.

To identify the 2022 recommendations made by ministries of health in the 13 countries and areas of South America for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and cervical cancer screening.

Methods.

A systematic review of scientific literature and official documents was conducted between July 7 and October 17, 2022. The review included an initial search on official websites (e.g. ministries of health, national cancer institutes and health departments) of South American countries to identify current guidelines or recommendations for HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening.

Results.

Recommendations for HPV vaccination were found for 11 countries, with the exceptions of French Guiana and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Recommendations were found for cervical cancer screening in official documents from 11 countries, with the exceptions of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, where one article was found that was not an official recommendation, and Suriname, for which no documents were found on websites or in other publications. A total of 12 countries use cytology to screen for cervical cancer. Four countries (Bolivia [Plurinational State of], Colombia, Guyana and Peru) use visual inspection with acetic acid and the screen-and-treat strategy. Six countries (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Peru) are transitioning from cytology to HPV testing.

Conclusions.

No documents were found about a national HPV vaccination program in French Guiana and Venezuela, and no official guidelines for cervical cancer screening were found for Suriname and Venezuela; thus, it will be difficult to eliminate this public health problem in these countries. Countries in South America must update their guidelines for HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening as new evidence emerges. Official websites with information about HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening are important sources that can be accessed by health professionals and the population.
Integrity and vertex neighbor integrity of some graphs
Authors: ATAY ATAKUL Betül
Published: July 2023

The integrity $I(G)$ of a noncomplete connected graph $G$ is a measure of network vulnerability and is defined by $I(G)=\min\limits_{S\subset V(G)}\{ |S|+m(G-S)\}$, where $S$ and $m(G-S)$ denote the subset of $V$ and the order of the largest component of $G-S$, respectively. The vertex neigbor integrity denoted as $VNI(G)$ is the concept of the integrity of a connected graph $G$ and is defined by $VNI(G)=\min\limits_{S\subset V(G)}\{|S|+m(G-S)\}$, where $S$ is any vertex subversion strategy of $G$ and $m(G-S)$ is the number of vertices in the largest component of $G-S$. If a network is modelled as a graph, then the integrity number shows not only the difficulty to break down the network but also the damage that has been caused. This article includes several results on the integrity of the $k-ary $ $tree$ $H_{n}^{k}$, the diamond-necklace $N_{k}$, the diamond-chain $L_{k}$ and the thorn graph of the cycle graph and the vertex neighbor integrity of the $H_{n}^{2}$, $H_{n}^{3}$.

Analyzing Causes of International Trade Shocks
Authors: Fahad Aysar Y. , Abdurrazaq Taib Othman
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This research aims to analyze the impact of trade shocks on overall international trade relations.

 

The theoretical framework: of this paper comes from the fact that in recent years, the global economy has witnessed many trade shocks, whether caused by trade disputes between major economies, military disputes, or just crises in the supply of crude oi.

 

Methodology: The research relied on the analytical descriptive method.

 

Findings: The research concluded with a set of conclusions, the most prominent of which was that trade shocks do not necessarily result from the requirements of the traditional economic cycle or emergency or exceptional international economic conditions only, but they often occur as a result of economic and trade policies adopted by different countries. The severity of the shock and its time duration depend on the nature of the exported goods. or imported, and the trade shocks, with their positive and negative effects, exceed the state's trade balance to be reflected on all other economic variables such as gross domestic product, income, employment, commodity prices, interest rate, exchange rate, and cash reserves.

 

Research practical and social implications: The practical and social effects desired from this research are to study the different forms of trade shocks and their economic dimensions over different timescales in a way that makes governments more able to anticipate them and neutralize their negative effects and avoid them, with many of them adopting a policy of trade openness.

 

Originality/value: The research has great value in light of the risks posed by fluctuations in macro indicators with various trade crises in terms of temporary and permanent shocks or favorable and adverse shocks that are less studied in other previous studies.

Authors: Lulaj Enkeleda , Dragusha Blerta
Published: July 2023

Purpose:  The purpose of this research is to see if total direct taxes (TDT) affect the growth of the country's income and well-being or stagnation and gaps based on the variables raised: Corporate Income Tax (CIT), Personal Income Tax ( TAP), Property Taxes (PT), Other Direct Taxes (ODT), as well as to explore which variables had a greater impact on income growth, welfare or gaps before and during the Covid-19 pandemic.
 
Theoretical framework: First, this research brought a new approach to explore the income statement through total direct taxes before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, then analyzed which variables there were increases in income, gaps, or welfare. Finally, an overview is given on how to promote and continuously increase state revenues and reduce gaps through TDTs.
 
Design/methodology/approach: The data were collected at the local and central levels in the state of Kosovo based on the audited financial and economic reports for the period (2014-2021) as well as through interviews with officials and directors in the finance department and with the Minister of Finance during 2017-2018, analyzing in detail all financial items for direct tax variables and their impact on government revenues, on the country's well-being or economic-financial gaps through descriptive analysis, factorial analysis, reliability analysis, multiple regression analysis using SPSS version 23.0 for Windows.
 
Findings: Based on analyzes such as PCA Matrix Loading Factors, PCA Model Summary- Multiple Linear Regression, Coefficients- TDT, the results showed that the variables [(CIT=98%, R=.980, Sig=.000, F=148,854), (PIT=99%, R=.987, Sig.=000, F=220,841), (PT=90%, R=.902, Sig.=.000, F=26,240)] are quite important and that they have influenced the increase in income and well-being of the country, while the variable (OTD=39%, R=.390, Sig.=000, F=1.079) has not influenced the well-being of the country during this period and that there are still some gaps that need to be improved before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, greater weight in the collection of (TDTs) and an increase in well-being have been shown (PIT=.975, Cons=.136, Acu=99%), while gaps have been shown (ODT: Cons=.209, Acu =39%). It is recommended that the state should be careful in collecting revenues from (TDT) and especially (OTDs).
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  The limitations and implications of this research are that the study period is (8) years, the number of variables is limited to only (4) with their sub-variables (48), and it is only an analysis of one country. Therefore, for further analysis, a larger number of countries, periods, and variables can be taken into the research.
 
Originality/value:  It will help countries to see where there is an increase in income and well-being and where there are gaps and a decrease in income and based on this, they should be careful in creating policies to encourage and increase income through (TDTs)

With regard to the remaining questions, there are no statistically significant differences between the mean values of the answers given depending on the Institution.
 
Research, Practical/ & Social Implications: In the analysis of the differences between Institutions, it was verified the existence of statistically significant differences in the questions related to the desire to create their own company and to have a concrete business idea to create, in which SPIM showed a higher average in relation to the other three Institutions. Regarding the other two research questions, “I consider myself capable of creating a company”, and “I am able to work on my own”, there were no statistically significant differences between the four Institutions.
 
Originality/Value: The present study adds value among the management students with regard to the awareness on entrepreneurship which leads to the country’ economic development.

Authors: Pillai Rajani H , Arumugan A.
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in leadership styles prevalent in the public sector with those working in the banking and insurance industries. Cluster variables from both industries included in the analysis are as follows: Idealized influence, inspiring motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration are all components of leadership.
 
Theoretical Framework: Due to its apparent efficacy, transformational leadership has received a lot of attention from public sector researchers over the past decade. Successful leaders alter their teams by enlisting their followers' help in effecting change. A transformational leader is one who "transforms" their followers by inspiring them to make positive personal and professional shifts.
 
Design / Methodology / Approach:The study is exploratory research design using Quantitative data collected from the Banking and Insurance sector employees. The study uses a well-structured questionnaire using Likert scale items. The sample was chosen on Convenience basis from 5 select public sector Insurance companies and 5 select public sector Insurance companies. 100 Questionnaires each were distributed and 97 valid responses were selected for banking industry and 90 responses from Insurance Industry were selected for the study. Paired t test using SPSS software was utilised for analysing the data in the study.
 
Findings:The findings of the study show that there is significant difference between the leadership styles practices in Banking and Insurance industry. The banking sector employees showed a greater inclination towards transformational leadership with higher mean scores and statistically significant outcomes.
 
Research Implications: Banking and insurance each have their own distinct cultures and management philosophies; as a result, they cannot be studied as a single entity under the umbrella of the BFSI sector. Additional research on the various leadership styles currently in use within the banking and insurance sectors is necessary.
 
Originality/Value: There are no studies related comparative analysis between Insurance and Banking industry on the leadership styles in Public sector.

Authors: Tengtarto Mulya Adi Kredo , Singgih Moses Laksono , Siswanto Nurhadi
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The objective of this study was to design a cost optimization model that offers production improvement for SMEs.
                                                                                                        
Theoretical framework: Several studies related to production system disruption management have been conducted, with the majority focusing on large companies. However, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have limitations compared to large companies. Repairability is considered for cost optimization.
                                                  
Design/methodology/approach:  This research designed a cost optimization model that offers production improvement with repairability process for SME.
 
Findings: There is a need for repairability given the disruption caused by defective products in SMEs. There is a clear difference in total profit between the current state without repairability and proposed conditions with repairability. SMEs suffer massive losses in the absence of repairs, assuming they do not consider repairing defective products with a production defect rate of approximately 15%. The current state produces many downgraded products. However, repairability still needs to be improved to increase profits.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: The study implied that there is a need to consider repairability for product defects at SMEs, especially those with a 15% product defect rate. The use of the proposed model optimizes profit and is designed to increase production capacity based on product improvements. Repairability was considered in this research, considering that SMEs are more susceptible to disruptions compared to large companies.
 
Originality/value: The novelty of this paper is adding process repairability to the cost optimization model for SMEs in the textile sector, then considering the product downgrade under the conditions in SMEs.
Does Islamic Banking Sector Matter for Income Disparity Reduction? Empirical Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Agustina Maulidar , Majid M. Shabri Abd. , Faisal Faisal , Musnadi Said
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This empirical study aims to investigate the impact of the Islamic banking sector, economic growth, and inflation on the reduction of income disparities in Indonesia from the short-run and long-run perspectives.
 
Theoretical framework: Since the 19th century, the interaction between the financial sector, economic growth, and income disparity has been intensively researched and received attention both from financial economists and practitioners. The linkages between the financial sector, including the banking industry, economic growth, and income inequality have been a debatable issue, whether the financial sector affects economic growth and income inequality or vice versa. Within this theoretical framework, the study builds an empirical model to examine the contribution of the Islamic banking industry to economic growth and income inequality in the context of Indonesia.
 
Design/methodology/approach: An Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method is adopted to analyse the monthly time-series data from January 2015 to December 2020 to measure the short-run and long-run effects of Islamic banking performance, economic growth, and inflation on income disparity in Indonesia.
 
Findings: The results of the study revealed that Islamic banks contributed to the reduction of income disparity in Indonesia both in the short run and long run.  In addition, economic growth and price stability also helped reduce income disparities in the country both in the short run and long run.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: The findings of the study suggest the importance for Islamic banks to provide quality of balanced, effective, affordable, and high-quality financing to the priority real sector to enhance their impacts on economic growth and income disparity reduction. The Indonesian Monetary Authority should continuously strengthen the policy mix through various innovations to continuously ensure banks' ability to channel financing to the real economic sector and build an effective financing allocation mechanism to promote inclusive economic growth that reduces income disparity nationwide.
 
Originality/value: The study is among the first attempts to measure and evaluate the contribution of the Islamic banking industry to income disparity reduction in Indonesia using various indicators to measure Islamic banking performance and an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration.
