Choice of Law in International Business Contracts
Authors: Sopamena Ronald Fadly
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Differences in the national legal system and the contract law provisions of each country open up opportunities for conflict and dispute to occur. In addition, differences in national laws that serve as normative references for actors in international trade transactions can also cause doubt and uncertainty for foreign parties. Thus the choice of law can be referred to as the freedom of the parties in a contract to choose which law will be used and applies to the parties in an international agreement considering that the national contract law of each country is very diverse.Purposes of the Research: This writing aims to analyze the choice of law in international business contracts.Methods of the Research: This study uses a normative juridical method. Normative legal research is library research, namely research on secondary data. Secondary data has a scope that includes personal letters, books, to official documents issued by the government.Results of the Research: The legal principles regulated in international business transactions refer to the legal principles of international treaties/contracts agreed upon by the parties, and international trade conventions. The parties involved in international business contracts have the freedom to determine with whom and what the subject matter of the agreement they wish to enter into the contract as long as it does not violate the laws and regulations. Then by entering a choice of law, the parties can easily determine the contents of the business contract because each party can already get clarity about the law that will be used and the interpretation of the contents of the contract so that the implementation of the contract will run more optimally.

Modelos estatísticos espaciais na análise de dados de experimentos de campo do melhoramento do feijoeiro
Authors:   , Salvador Felipe Vicentino
Published: October 2022

Experimentos de campo são realizados com grande frequência em programas de melhoramento de espécies como o feijão-comum (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) visando a obtenção acurada dos valores genotípicos. Modelos estatísticos que consideram a informação de posição das parcelas junto à utilização dos delineamentos experimentais podem elevar a eficiência da análise de dados. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficiência de modelos espaciais baseados na estrutura autorregressiva dos resíduos e do modelo SpATS (análise espacial de experimentos de campo com splines) para captar tendências espaciais em experimentos de feijão-comum, melhorar a predição e a classificação genotípica. O capítulo I foi publicado no periódico Crop Science (Corrigindo dados experimentais para tendências espaciais em um programa de melhoramento de feijão-comum, Salvador, F.V. et al., Crop Science 62/2, Copyright © 2022 The Authors. Crop Science © 2022 Crop Science Society of America, Wiley Periodicals LLC. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/csc2.20703). Neste capítulo, o modelo tradicional de análise com efeitos dos delineamentos experimentais e erros independentes é comparado a outros modelos que incorporam matrizes de (co)variância residual autorregressiva de primeira ordem no sentido de linhas e colunas para captar tendências locais, assim como efeitos fixos lineares e aleatórios para linhas e colunas visando captar tendências globais e o erro de mensuração. No capítulo II, o modelo tradicional de análise é, desta vez, comparado ao modelo SpATS, que assume erros independentes, porém incorpora uma superfície suavizada capaz de captar tendências globais e locais em um único passo. Em ambas as abordagens estudadas, a análise espacial mostrou-se mais eficiente em relação à forma tradicional de análise, captando tendências espaciais existentes na maioria dos experimentos considerados. Como principais consequências, foram frequentemente observados aumentos nas estimativas de herdabilidade e acurácia ou, pelo menos, reduções na variância do erro de predição, assim como modificações na classificação genotípica. O modelo SpATS apresentou maior praticidade de análise e, além disto, foi possível captar tendências com este modelo em experimentos para os quais não se obteve sucesso com a abordagem autorregressiva. Assim, conclui-se que o uso de modelos espaciais na análise de dados experimentais é um procedimento eficiente e passível de ser utilizado frequentemente no programa de melhoramento da cultura.

Authors: Tong Lydia , Loonam Anna
Published: October 2022

Stress and anxiety are known to increase the likelihood of eating disorders. Because everyone was in lockdown, COVID19 was a big stress-inducer. Using this information, we collected data on the participant’s feelings before and after COVID19. We used R and Excel to perform correlations between the GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7) results from the data and found a significant increase in being concerned about weight after COVID19, feeling guilty after eating good food after COVID19, and feeling uncertain about the participant’s future after COVID19. These were all relative to feelings of anxiety the participants felt before COVID19. Using R, we constructed a multiple regression model with the data, which showed a statistically significant increase. Our multiple regression model also showed that the significant predictors were both after COVID19, demonstrating a negative impact of COVID19 on eating disorders.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome can present without fever

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare, idiosyncratic adverse reaction to antipsychotic drugs. A fast recognition of NMS is vital to prevent a fatal outcome.

In this article, the case of a 15-year-old boy with psychosis presenting with motor symptoms like tremor and akathisia while on olanzapine is discussed. Due to persistent psychotic symptoms and motoric side effects under olanzapine, the therapy was switched to aripiprazole. This switch resulted in a dramatic worsening of the symptoms and a sudden decrease in global functioning. Psychosis with catatonia was diagnosed and lorazepam was started, with a moderate effect. After several days, lower back pain, chest pain, excessive sweating and rigidity emerged. A blood sample showed extremely high serum creatine kinases. The catatonic state had evolved to NMS during the switch to antipsychotics. The absence of hyperthermia delayed the diagnosis because of the misleading idea that NMS is always associated with an increased body temperature.

In the study, from a developed preliminary conceptual new institutionalist framework to determine the different strategic responses of organizations as a result of institutional pressures for conformity and predict the formation of alternative strategies; which strategic responses were given (acquiesce or defy or manipulate) from the Turkish higher education institutions that conform to the normatively presented quality management tried to determine. In the study, PLS-SEM algorithms were applied with SmartPLS software. The findings concluded that the "acquiesce" strategic response against normative pressure from the institutional pressures for the adoption of quality management in Turkish higher education, and the "manipulate" strategic response is given against mimetic pressure. According to the results obtained in this study, the acquiesce response as a strategic response to the normative pressures for higher education institutions to adopt quality management reveals that normative pressure is an essential tool for establishing quality in higher education. This indicates that success has been achieved in the systematic establishment of quality management on a national basis in Turkiye. Conformity to ESG standards brings success to Turkish higher education and enables Turkiye to complete its integration with Europe in higher education as soon as possible.

Curriculum evaluation is a way to make judgments about the effectiveness of a curriculum. No matter how well the curricula are prepared, it is necessary to continuously evaluate the curricula in order to check whether they meet the needs of the society in which they are applied, and the evaluation results should be reflected in curriculum development studies. For this very reason, curriculum evaluation studies are of great importance. There are different curriculum evaluation models proposed in the literature, one of which is Hammond’s evaluation model which is among objectives-oriented evaluation approach that focuses on the extent to which educational goals are achieved in a curriculum. In this study, it is aimed to introduce Hammond’s evaluation model, which is one of the curriculum evaluation models but used in a limited number in the literature, thus contribute to the literature. Within this purpose, the conceptual framework of Hammond’s evaluation model was explained, and the strengths and weaknesses of the model were revealed. As a result, Hammond’s evaluation model can be used effectively in curriculum evaluation studies in which research areas require an in-depth examination, quantitative and qualitative data collection tools are used since it can be divided into smaller parts and adapted to the context. In addition, it is though that the use of Hammond’s evaluation model in the evaluation studies of newly developed curricula will provide a more comprehensive framework for curriculum development studies.

Despite the inherent and much-publicised benefits of investing in unit trust funds, not everyone is investing in them. Investing in unit trust funds, which is open to everyone, offers the investor, at low risks, returns which are potentially higher than those of savings, fixed deposit or even Employees Provident Fund. The relatively higher returns from unit trust investments could help the investor secure a more financially sound future, especially when it comes to his or her retirement. Based on observations, given the same socio-economic backgrounds, some people are more willing to invest in unit trust funds compared to others. Many probable factors are influencing a person’s decision to invest in unit trust funds. Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour and Trait Theory, this study aims to identify and examine those factors, especially the role of the salesperson, which can influence the intention to invest in unit trust funds, thus contributing to the body of knowledge about the Theory of Planned Behaviour in this regards. It is hoped that the findings of this study could help unit trust companies and other relevant parties design a more effective approach in encouraging more Malaysians to invest in unit trust funds and help them secure a more financially sound future. Data will be collected through a questionnaire by way of purposive sampling. Based on Cochran’s formula, 500 questionnaires will be distributed throughout Sabah, the sample population. The Independent Variables identified are attitude, subjective norm, a salesperson’s attributes and perceived behavioural control while the dependent variable is behaviour to invest in the unit trust. A pilot study on the questionnaire, which has been converted into Google form, had been distributed. A total of 44 complete questionnaires were considered for analysis, following which all the questions contained in the questionnaire passed the Cronbach’s Alpha Test for reliability.
