Incitations ŕ développer les EnR et l'énergie solaire : une approche par la cointégration en panel
Authors: Damette Olivier
Published: August 2024

Les menaces que font peser le réchauff ement climatique sur l'environnement ont incité les pouvoirs publics des pays européens à accélérer leur transition énergétique et à augmenter leur production d'électricité à partir d'énergies renouvelables (EnR). Le déploiement des énergies renouvelables en Europe est cependant hétérogène selon les pays et il semble répondre à un certain nombre de déterminants macroéconomiques identifi és dans la littérature (émissions de CO2, revenu national, consommation et dépendance énergétique, dynamique du prix du pétrole). Dans cet article, nous montrons que le recours aux estimateurs à eff ets fi xes permet de retrouver les eff ets empiriques des déterminants usuels de la production d'électricité à partir des EnR pris dans leur globalité. Néanmoins, les analyses de la littérature semblent avoir négligé la présence de non stationnarité et de cointégration dans la relation entre la production d'EnR et ses déterminants. L'utilisation d'estimateurs adaptés à la cointégration (DOLS, FMOLS) relativise la portée des résultats habituellement identifi és dans la littérature. En conduisant la même analyse pour le cas particulier de l'énergie solaire, nous montrons que ce type particulier d'énergie, comme le laissait entrevoir une maigre littérature, ne réagit pas aussi fortement aux principaux déterminants macroéconomiques que les EnR dans leur globalité. Les estimations en panel par eff ets fi xes et par le biais des estimateurs de panel adaptés à la présence de cointégration conduisent à cette même conclusion que seul le niveau de dépendance énergétique est réellement important dans la décision de produire de l'énergie solaire.
Le grand retour du politique dans la finance?
Authors: Coupez Bernard
Published: August 2024

Depuis la crise de Lehman Brothers, plusieurs G7 et G20 avaient été consacrés, en partie ou en totalité, à re-réguler les circuits fi nanciers internationaux. Le constat était à la fois simple et terrifi ant: la contagion de la crise des sub-primes avait mis en place une déstabilisation majeure de la finance internationale, entraînant par ricochet dans la récession le commerce international mais, également et conjointement, les économies nord-américaines et européennes ainsi que celles de nombreux Etats émergents.
Les grandes restructurations industrielles recentes : mise en echec ou accomplissement de la concurrence?
Authors: Olsem Jean-Pierre
Published: August 2024

En tout observateur attaché à la réalisation de l'idéal concurrentiel, les grandes restructurations industrielles, et notamment les fusions géantes, ne peuvent manquer de susciter un malaise. La logique fi nancière menace de s'y substituer à la logique industrielle, et le pouvoir de marché semble y dériver vers le pouvoir de monopole. Alors la tentation de renoncer à l'impératif concurrentiel est forte. Sous sa forme rare, cette renonciation conduirait à interdire pratiquement toute fusion pour bloquer tout accroissement de pouvoir de marché au profit de firmes présumées tentaculaires. Sous sa forme « ultralibérale », hayékienne, imbue de Chicago, la renonciation porte au contraire sur la défense de la dispersion du pouvoir de marché, abandonnée à une dynamique spontanée qui n'est rien moins qu'évidente.
La croissance en zone euro et les limites de l'articulation de l'économique et du politique dans l'approche fonctionnaliste de l'intégration européenne
Authors: Clavé Francis
Published: August 2024

Cet article est bâti autour d'une interrogation : le fonctionnalisme et le néofonctionnalisme qui ont inspiré fortement la construction européenne ne gênent-ils pas l'émergence d'une articulation de l'économique et du politique adaptée au stade présent de la zone euro ? Pour répondre à cette question, trois éléments clés du fonctionnalisme seront étudiés : la théorie de l'engrenage, le recours à l'expertise économique et la volonté de dépasser les concepts d'État et de souveraineté. La théorie de l'engrenage induit des jeux stratégiques non coopératifs liés à des approches différentes de l'économie dont il sera montré qu'ils ne peuvent être surmontés que par un large accord sur une philosophie économique commune. Par ailleurs, la primauté très forte donnée à l'économique et à la consommation pousse à « voiler » le politique et à lui préférer le recours à l'expertise économique. Enfin, le fonctionnalisme de Mitrany, très proche de la politique postmoderne, ne permet pas de penser l'aspect politique des solutions économiques envisagées pour sortir de la crise de la zone euro. En particulier, il ne fournit pas un cadre permettant d'articuler à la fois les spécificités de l'Europe face au monde et celles des pays européens face à l'Europe.
Analyse statistique de l'impact de l'effet gravitationnel sur la diversification du développement économique de l'Ukraine
Authors: Chugaievska Svitlana , Chugaievska Nataliia , Tokarski Tomasz
Published: August 2024

L'article effectue une analyse statistique de l'influence de l'effet de la gravité sur les orientations fondamentales du développement de l'économie ukrainienne sur la base des indicateurs taxonomiques et des données du Service national de la statistique. Les principaux indices socio-économiques du XXIe siècle sont étudiés qui soulignent la crise profonde de l'économie nationale. Cinq groupes de zones de distribution administrative ukrainienne sont distingués : le centre, le nord, le sud, l'ouest et l'est. L'effet de gravité est spécifié pour chacun d'eux. Les indices de base qui stimulent ou retardent le développement économique sont déterminés en utilisant la méthode de l'analyse taxonomique. La gravité spécifique pour tous les indices de groupes mentionnés ci-dessus et pour l'ensemble de l'Ukraine (en dynamique de 2004 à 2015) est estimée à l'aide de la méthode de Monte Carlo. L'analyse statistique est réalisée avec la construction de fonctions logarithmiques sur chaque stimulant et destimulent de la croissance économique avec les paramètres de leur signification statistique. L'influence la plus positive, comme on l'a prouvé, est la taille des salaires par mois, le niveau d'emploi de la population, le taux d'afflux migratoire et, à son tour, le niveau de chômage.
La transition démographique : un enjeu majeur pour l'Afrique tropicale
Authors: Vedie Henri-Louis
Published: August 2024

Cette étude porte sur les conséquences des projections démographiques des Nations Unies, horizon 2050, et surtout horizon 2100, pour l'Afrique Tropicale, regroupant 46 des 56 états africains au sens onusien, considérant par exemple Mayotte et la Réunion /départements français/ comme des états africains. Ces projections, analysées ici, montrent la gravité de la situation. En effet, si rien n'est fait dès maintenant, l'Afrique Tropicale dépassera les 3.8 milliards d'habitants ! Avec un Nigéria à plus de 750 millions d'habitants, la RD Congo à plus de 300 millions d'habitants, la Tanzanie à près de 300 millions d'habitants, le Niger dont la population sera multipliée par 2.6 en moins d'un demi-siècle, etc... Ce ne sont que des prévisions certes, mais on aurait grand tort de ne pas les prendre au sérieux, principalement celles de 2050.
Qualite de la croissance economique au Sénégal : une approche normative
Authors: Diaw Adama , Ndiaye Cheikh Tidiane
Published: August 2024

L'objectif de cet article est d'analyser la qualité de la croissance économique au Sénégal. De façon spécifique, il s'agit de s'interroger sur l'adéquation entre la croissance et les ressources de main-d'oeuvre nationale. L'étude s'appuie principalement sur une approche normative. Il ressort de l'analyse que le modèle de croissance sénégalais ne se traduit pas par le bien-être des citoyens en raison des facteurs tels que : la persistance des inégalités, l'inefficacité des dépenses sociales et politiques publiques, l'absence de développement technologique, ainsi que le faible niveau du transfert ou de l'adoption des technologies, sans oublier, enfin, les spécialisations dans les branches traditionnelles.

Les vingt ans de la Banque Centrale Européenne. Un bilan contrasté
Authors: L'oeillet Guillaume
Published: August 2024

En 2019, nous célèbrerons les 20 ans de la monnaie unique. Cette période anniversaire a débuté au mois de juin dernier avec celui de la BCE. Dans le présent texte, nous proposons un bilan de cette double décennie. Indiscutablement, l'institution est parvenue à remplir l'objectif principal qui lui a été confié à sa création, c'est-à-dire la stabilité des prix. Si la BCE a su employer des outils non-conventionnels lors des crises successives entre 2008 et 2015, sa lecture des évènements semble avoir été parfois défaillante. Enfin, malgré des ajustements ponctuels de son mode de gouvernance, un déficit démocratique demeure. C'est dans ce domaine que nous identifions une nécessaire réforme de la BCE dans les années à venir.

ON THE STATE DUTY AS AN INSTRUMENT OF PROCEDURAL ECONOMY
Authors:   Postgraduate Student of the Department of Competition Law, Matunov Arkady Ya.
Published: August 2024

The article analyzes the possibility of solving the problems of optimizing civil proceeding by changing the approach to the issue of court fee. It must be said that even the judicial community does not have an unambiguous position about increasing court fees. Thus in 2017 the Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, V.M. Lebedev, removed the item of increasing court fees from the consideration by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, noting that this initiative could have negatively affect to the realization of the right to access to justice. Nevertheless, already in 2018, the Chairman of the Council of Judges of the Russian Federation, V.V. Momotov, expressed the idea of the need to increase unfairty low court fees. In the context of the increasingly urgent problem of court congestion, initiatives in the field of popularization of alternative dispute resolution methods seem quite fair, but how will it be possible to achieve their effective development in conditions of cheap justice? This item should be discussed carefuly, considering the possibility of subtle use of court fee mechanisms in order to optimize legal proceedings, aimed at increasing the attraction of using out-of-court ways of settlement legal contest resolution by participants. However, it is important to maintain a balance of interests, preventing the right of access to justice from becoming a privilege.

Published: August 2024

The legal qualification of the actions of the subsoil user on removal of the fertile soil layer is investigated In the article. These actions are the land protection measures and also are included in the complex of technical measures for land reclamation. In the process of work aimed at preparing the use of subsoil, it becomes especially important to understand the removal of the fertile soil layer as the responsibility of a special subject. Conclusion: it is necessary to develop the legal regulation of land relations in the area under study at the federal level so that the rules for carrying out such work become unified and as close in content as possible to the specifics of subsoil use in different situations. It is necessary to resolve the conceptually significant issue of the need and justification for the rule on obtaining a permit for work related to soil disturbance, which is in regional and municipal regulatory legal acts. The author substantiated her opinion that the rules for land protection are fully taken into account in the technical project and the land reclamation project, when its development is required by law.

Based on the practice of law enforcement, it is concluded that the key problem in this area is the assessment of the legality of the actions of a police officer when using firearms. Recommendations are proposed for improving and specifying the regulatory regulation of the conditions and procedure for the use of firearms by employees of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation to give the missing certainty and clarity.
The Right to Defence in Criminal Proceedings: The Problem of Gaps in Legal Regulation
Authors:   Lecturer of the Chelyabinsk State University, Popov Denis P.
Published: August 2024

The author of the article is subjected to a problematic analysis of some gaps in the criminal procedure legislation and the practice of its application in terms of ensuring the right to protection of a person, without granting him the status of a participant in the defense (suspect/accused). The study focuses on the fact that the law enforcement positions of the Constitutional and Supreme Courts of the Russian Federation, which clarified in 2000, 2015 and 2016 the right of an investigative body to criminal prosecution, without making a special procedural decision, have not so far brought any clarity to the mechanism of its implementation. This issue has not been worked out in the current legislation either. According to the author, the lack of legislation in this part significantly detracts from the constitutional right of an individual to protection in criminal proceedings. According to the results of the study, the author makes some suggestions for improving legislation.
Reprezentacje przestrzenne wsi w Polsce

Published: August 2024

Niniejsza monografia jest efektem pracy zespołu badawczego Katedry Geografii Regionalnej i Społecznej Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego w ramach projektu finansowanego przez Narodowe Centrum Nauki. Treści zawarte w książce są odpowiedzią na nowe wyzwania badawcze geografii człowieka, coraz częściej poruszające problemy identyfikacji i interpretacji przemian osadniczych w skali lokalnej. W tym przypadku studia dotyczą 21 wsi wybranych nieprzypadkowo, bo reprezentujących typowe dla różnych okresów historycznych założenia ruralistyczne. Przeprowadzone badania miały dwa podstawowe cele – poznawczy i metodologiczny. Z jednej strony dążono do ukazania różnych prawidłowości w zmianach przestrzenno-krajobrazowych wsi, z drugiej natomiast, celem pracy było stworzenie katalogu reprezentacji (przedstawień) przestrzennych, o charakterze formalnym i społecznym, umożliwiających wielowymiarową rejestrację zjawisk osadniczych. W ten sposób intencją zespołu badawczego było nie tylko odwołanie się do dyrektyw klasycznej geografii człowieka (przestrzeń traktowana jako czynnik sprawczy, który należy uwzględniać w analizie społeczeństw), ale również uwzględnienie wyzwań nowych nurtów badawczych, ukształtowanych w ramach społeczno-kulturowego „zwrotu” geografii, interpretujących przestrzeń jako społecznie wytworzoną. Badania o takim charakterze, w których środowisko człowieka jest po prostu miejscem życia, nawiązują do tradycji antropogeograficznych, choć we współczesnych uwarunkowaniach cywilizacyjnych, i z uwzględnieniem postępu teoretyczno-metodologicznego współczesnej  geografii człowieka.
Ogląd różnych przemian z perspektywy miejsc, koncentruje się przede wszystkim na społecznym i funkcjonalnym wymiarze ich istnienia i zmiany. Studia przypadku uwidaczniają to, czego nie da się zarejestrować w wymiarze strukturalnym i globalnym, szczególnie w obrębie ujęć ilościowych. Zwrócenie się ku tej perspektywie badawczej rodzi liczne refleksje o kondycji społeczności lokalnych, a także o społecznych wyobrażeniach i opiniach na temat tego, co dzieje się w przestrzeni osobistej, sąsiedzkiej i wspólnotowej.
Monografia powstała w ramach realizacji projektu pt.: „Reprezentacje przestrzenne osiedliwiejskich w Polsce” finansowanego ze środków NCN, 2014/13/B/HS4/00481.

Authors: Lee Charlotte T. , Ziegler Erin , Chong Yuen Yu , Ngan Anna , Ng Franco , Omer Iman , Chan Helen Yue Lai
Published: August 2024

Background:Advanced practice nurses (APNs) have been responding to worldwide changing patient comorbidities, inequalities within access to care, and a shortage of primary care physicians. The scope of practice for these nurses has been expanding internationally but varies across different jurisdictions. For a period of time during the COVID-19 pandemic, APN trainees’ opportunities to work with international mentors in-person were limited.Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual seminar series in supporting growth in clinical judgment, skills in nursing leadership, and advocacy to optimize APNs’ scope of practice.Methods:A preexperimental study was conducted in one cohort of students in the Doctor of Nursing (DN) program at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. A total of 10 prerecorded seminars were presented by nurse practitioners (NPs) in Canada on various disease topics. The evaluation of these seminars focused on the effectiveness of teaching by each speaker and the perceived confidence of learners in carrying out each domain of the APN scope of practice.Results:The study found that the virtual seminar series was effective in improving learners’ perceived confidence in carrying out each domain of the APN scope of practice. The perceived teaching effectiveness of each speaker was also evaluated and found to be positive.Conclusions:The virtual seminar series was an effective strategy in supporting newly graduated APNs’ professional transitions, particularly when opportunities for collaboration and education were limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Implications for Nursing:Mentorship, experiential learning, interprofessional training, and professional socialization are vital strategies for supporting APNs’ professional development. The virtual seminar series can be an effective strategy for supporting APNs’ scope of practice growth, especially in the current global pandemic context.
Rise From the Ashes: The Modeling–Compensation Hypothesis Applied to Parent Financial Socialization

Published: August 2024

According to family financial socialization theory and previous research, parent financial modeling (i.e., children learning financial matters by observing parental behavior) is positively associated with emerging adults’ financial behaviors and financial outcomes. However, qualitative evidence and the modeling–compensation hypothesis suggest that emerging adults can intentionally compensate for negative modeling (i.e., those whose parents performed bad financial behaviors can intentionally enact good behaviors themselves). Using a diverse sample of 4,182 US emerging adults, this study is the first to quantitatively explore the modeling–compensation hypothesis in the context of parent financial modeling. We identified four groups: Intergenerational Financial Flourishers (received positive modeling and were good money managers; 56.6%), Financial Phoenixes (received negative modeling and were good money managers; 21.6%), Socialization Squanderers (received positive modeling and were bad money managers; 15.9%), and Intergenerational Financial Flounderers (received negative modeling and were bad money managers; 5.9%). In terms of financial outcomes (financial independence, financial satisfaction, and financial distress), the Intergenerational Financial Flourishers were the best off, followed by the Financial Phoenixes. Thus, while high-quality parent financial modeling is ideal, there is hope for those who received negative modeling, and financial educators and practitioners can help.

Published: August 2024

This study investigates the paradoxical influence of family income on school dropout risks among Brazilian public-school students. Discussing previous results that challenges traditional perspectives on school dropout by examining how students from higher family income show higher dropout risk. We hypothesize that this is due to flexible capitalism changes in our societies labor market and to the devaluation of schools as a meaningful place for student’s life projects. Analyzing data from 15,924 Brazilian high school and middle school students using Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) and univariate models, the study reveals that students from higher-income families are more likely to drop out when they perceive school as less relevant for their future careers. This unexpected finding suggests that, unlike most literature on this field, higher income students might be at greater risk of dropout due to the pressure to enter the workforce and the perceived lack of school's alignment with their career aspirations. This study contributes to the understanding of school dropout in the global south, proposing the need for educational reforms that align with contemporary labor market realities.

Predicting the closing price of cryptocurrency Ethereum
Authors: Rambevha Vhukhudo Ronny , Sigauke Caston , Ravele Thakhani
Published: August 2024

Given that cryptocurrencies are now involved in nearly every financial transaction due to their widespread acceptance as an alternative method of payment and currency exchange, researchers and economists have increased opportunities to analyze cryptocurrency prices. Over time, predicting the daily closing price of Ethereum has been challenging for investors, traders, and investment banks because of its significant price volatility. The daily closing price of cryptocurrency is crucial for trading or investing in Ethereum. This report aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the predictive performance of deep machine learning algorithms within a stacking ensemble modeling framework, utilizing daily historical price data of Ethereum from Coindesk, tweets from Twitter spanning from August 1, 2022, to August 8, 2022, and five additional covariates (closing price lag1, closing price lag2, noltrend, daytype, and month) derived from Ethereum's closing price. Seven models are employed to forecast the daily closing price of Ethereum: recurrent neural network, ensemble stacked recurrent neural network, gradient boosting machine, generalized linear model, distributed random forest, deep neural networks, and a stacked ensemble of gradient boosting machine, generalized linear model, distributed random forest, and deep neural networks. The primary evaluation metric is the mean absolute error (MAE). Based on MAE, the RNN forecasts outperform the other models in this study, achieving an MAE of 0.0309.
Nostalgic consumer trends and nostalgia marketing
Authors: Daszkiewicz Magdalena
Published: August 2024

Over the last few years, we have observed an intensification of nostalgic consumer trends manifested through choices and behaviors that reflect sentimental attachments to the past. In parallel, we increasingly note a growing presence of marketing activities that tap into the emotions and experiences tied to consumers’ memories. These efforts link brands and their campaigns to positive concepts or ideas from the past. Nostalgia marketing relies on evoking positive feelings about the past and applies to products, marketing communications, and brand experiences.
The article seeks to identify trends based on nostalgia, both in terms of consumer behavior and marketing practice. The author presents the essence of nostalgia marketing and the research domains on nostalgic consumer behavior. The article describes nostalgic consumer trends in the context of their determinants. It identifies nostalgic strategies and trends in contemporary marketing practice. The objectives are realized based on a literature review supported by bibliographic analysis, desk research based on available quantitative and qualitative research results, and content analysis of campaigns promoting nostalgic products and using themes and content related to nostalgia marketing. Insights on nostalgic trends and marketing approaches provide the basis for identifying practical and research recommendations.
The importance of current megatrends and trends in the opinion of X and Z generations
Authors: Wicka Aleksandra , Wicki Ludwik
Published: August 2024

Contemporary changes in the world can be described by looking for similarities in phenomena occurring in different places. Currently, such megatrends include, among others: Demographic Shifts, Multipolarization of the World, Symbiocene, Bioera, and Mirror World. They are strongly related to technological progress, digitalization, and changes in societies. The aim of this article is to answer the question of whether the development trends are perceived as equally important by representatives of generations X and Z. Their attitude will be related to the willingness to accept the anticipated and already occurring changes. The research was conducted in 2023 on a sample of 500 people from generations X and Z. It was found that regardless of their generation, the respondents considered all megatrends current and important. They rated the importance of the Mirror World megatrend as the lowest, which means they are skeptical about the rapid domination of relationships by those taking place mainly on the Internet. The trends perceived as important included Mental Well-Being, Loneliness, Depopulation, and Roboticized Life, while the following were considered less important: Deglobalization, Medicine Resistance, Nation-State Collapse, and Identity Nomads. By comparing the assessments of trends by the representatives of the X and Z generations, it was found that the importance of each of the examined trends was assessed higher by younger people from Generation Z. For the most current trends, the differences in the assessments are statistically significant.

The article deals with the problem of smoothness of transferring passengers in transport hubs (TH) under the interaction of motor with railway transport. Three variants of integration of the subsystems of railway with motor transport have been analyzed: with deep passenger flow transfer, with close passenger transfer, with the crossing of the objects of interacting means of transport. Each integration variant peculiarities have been emphasized: deep transfer helps smooth passenger mismatch of single units of a rolling stock of railway and motor transport; under the close transfer there is a less orientation to a non-transport passenger service; under the crossing of the objects of interacting means of transport in transport hubs the interchanges of passenger flows must be located in several levels the number of which should be determined taking into account the number of means of transport providing suburban or suburban-urban traffic.

Published: August 2024

This study discusses the hegemony of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in Indonesian political dynamics by using a descriptive qualitative approach through the library research method using a sharia normative approach. Nadhalatul Ulama has strong historical roots, having a significant influence on Indonesian politics. The broad support of the community, especially Nahdliyin, allowed him to influence political policy at both the local and national levels. Through participation in the policy-making process such as the Islamic Boarding School Bill, NU brings agendas that are relevant to the interests of the community, especially in the fields of religion and education. In addition, NU plays a role in socializing democratic values through Islamic boarding schools, reflecting its contribution to strengthening the foundation of democracy at the local level. NU also acts as a counterweight in government oversight, ensuring policies are in line with people's aspirationsThe implications of this research include a better understanding of Indonesia's political dynamics and the importance of considering the role of non-state actors such as NU in the political process. It is recommended that in-depth research be conducted to broaden insights into the role of NU in Indonesian politics and society

Highlight:

Some risk factors exhibited incongruent outcomes and went against existing theories.
The age group under 65 years old was the most prevalent modifiable risk factor.
Stage 2 hypertension was the most dominant non-modifiable risk factor.

 
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Stroke is a major cause of disability and death worldwide. Among the three types of strokes, the ischemic stroke is the most prevalent. Controlling risk factors is a key approach to preventing ischemic stroke. Due to the limited data availability in Indonesia, it is important to research patient profiles focusing on risk factors for ischemic stroke. Objective: To record the patient profiles based on the risk factors for ischemic stroke in the neurology inpatient ward of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya for the period of January–June 2022. Methods: This was a descriptive observational study with a retrospective design. This study examined secondary data from ischemic stroke patients’ medical records at the Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital’s neurology inpatient ward in Surabaya between January and June 2022. Results: Out of 176 patients, 108 were under the age of 65. Of these, 97 were male. There were 63 patients with a history of ischemic stroke, 58 with diabetes mellitus, 84 with stage 2 hypertension, 77 with dyslipidemia, 59 with impaired kidney function, 52 with diabetes mellitus by lab tests, and 23 who smoked. Conclusion: In this study, some risk factors exhibited discrepancies and contradicted existing theories. The two dominant variables in the patient population were a combination of risk factors that occur more frequently at a certain age and a combination of risk factors in patients with recurrent strokes.

Background: Hair loss can occur in pediatric and adult populations and may have different patterns. The causes of hair loss in pediatric patients include tinea capitis, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, traction alopecia, anagen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia, loose anagen syndrome, short anagen syndrome, congenital aplasia cutis, congenital triangular alopecia, atrichia congenita, congenital hypotrichosis, and transient neonatal hair loss.Purpose: to understand etiologies of hair loss in pediatrics, and to determine the appropriate examinations for diagnosing and managing hair loss in children.Review: Hair loss in children can be categorized as congenital or acquired. Congenital hair loss is classified based on distribution, while acquired hair loss is classified as either scarring or non-scarring. Hair loss complications in children can be irreversible. The diagnosis of hair loss in pediatric patients includes anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting examinations. The supporting examinations used for diagnosis include fungal cultures, hair pull tests, hair tug tests, light microscopy, and trichoscopy. Conclusion: There are numerous causes of hair loss in pediatric patients that need to be identified before appropriate management can be implemented. The management of hair loss requires a holistic approach, including psychosocial support. Correct diagnosis and treatment of pediatric hair loss can prevent a decrease in the patient's quality of life.
