Tax Policies and Economic Growth: A Comparative Review
Authors: Mellisyah Mellisyah
Published: January 2025

Purpose: This study aims to explore the intricate relationship between tax policies and economic growth across various economic contexts, analyzing how different tax structures influence economic performance in both developed and developing countries.
Research Design and Methodology: A comparative analysis was employed, integrating econometric modeling, case studies, and theoretical examination. The study utilized primary data from structured interviews and surveys with policymakers and tax experts and secondary data from reputable databases such as the World Bank, IMF, and OECD.
Findings and Discussion: The research reveals that lower corporate tax rates are associated with higher economic growth in developed countries, driven by enhanced investment and entrepreneurial activities. However, in developing countries, the benefits of corporate tax cuts are less pronounced due to administrative challenges and large informal sectors. Progressive taxation supports equitable growth by funding essential public services, particularly in contexts with high-income inequality. The study also highlights that consumption taxes like VAT are less harmful to growth than income and corporate taxes, especially in developing countries. The effectiveness of tax policies is significantly influenced by political and institutional factors, with strong, inclusive institutions playing a crucial role.
Implications: These findings underscore the need for a balanced approach to tax policy design, considering both the incentive effects of taxes and the critical role of public investment. Policymakers should tailor tax strategies to specific economic and institutional contexts to promote sustainable economic growth

Authors: Da Conceicao Lobato do Nascimento Wellington , De Sousa Sousa Natanael , Alberto Lira Júnior Carlos , Dos Santos Martins Jaynne , Pereira Maciel Adeilton
Published: January 2025

Studies for clean fuels are interesting for the development of research through the processing of oils and fats, consisting of fatty acids, with high energy power and capable of conversion to esters (biodiesel), in transesterification or esterification reactions with homogeneous, heterogeneous catalysis, enzymatic. Basic homogeneous catalysis is the most widely used way of obtaining biodiesel, however it requires refined raw material and is free of water. In addition, the commonly used catalysts (NaOH, KOH, etc.) are aggressive to the environment and require a neutralization step. Heterogeneous catalysts have been shown to be efficient in transesterification reactions, because in addition to being reusable and not requiring a neutralization step after the reaction, they also have great economic viability. The considerations reported demonstrate the potential of heterogeneous catalysts in transesterification reactions, highlighting economic, technological and environmental aspects; and reinforce the need for incentives and research.

Effect of International Law in the Legal System of the People's Republic of China
Authors: Gavrilov Viatcheslav
Published: January 2025

The legal system of China is a unique phenomenon that requires a comprehensive study against the background of the place and role that the PRC occupies in the world today, as well as its significance as a strategic partner of Russia. In recent years, a large number of works have appeared in domestic legal science devoted to the analysis of the features and content of the legal system of the PRC, but the issues of determining the place and role of international law in China's legal system have been practically not addressed in these studies. Meanwhile, it is obvious that without their in-depth study of these problems, it is simply impossible to get a complete picture of the essence and mechanisms of functioning of the legal system of the PRC, since in the current conditions of international turbulence, China, like Russia, continue to demonstrate their commitment to the basic principles of international law and the founding world order on them. The article represents the first study in domestic legal doctrine, in which, based on an analysis of the provisions of the 1982 Constitution of the People's Republic of China, as well as a large number of acts of its national legislation and judicial practice, the main ways of implementing in the Chinese legal system customary and treaty norms of international law were identified and formulated. The main conclusion of the work is that, in essence, only three such methods can be distinguished. Depending on in what area and at what level the corresponding international agreement is concluded or an international custom is approved, the Chinese legislator himself decides which method national legal implementation of their norms will be involved in this particular case.
Legal Interpretation of the Issues of Gene Diagnosis: to Know or Not to Know?
Authors: Tsomartova Fatima V.
Published: January 2025

The increased dynamics of scientific and technological progress in gene diagnostics, its practical relevance and importance for people’s lives and health, as well as the state’s strategic orientation towards the development of genetic technologies for healthcare and the transition to personalized medicine they provide, objectively actualize the scientific development of the optimal legal form for this group of social relations. The unique properties of gene diagnostics, expressed in high prognosis, potential significance for the family of the person in several generations and entire groups of the population, the immutability of the human genetic constitution, contain an increased risk of violation of the subjective rights of citizens and determine the need for their special and enhanced legal protection. The main problem is seen in the growing prognostic potential of genetic research and the emerging gap between modern diagnostic capabilities, on the one hand, and prevention and treatment, on the other. The burden of knowledge about a genetic predisposition to a disease in the absence of real chances to reduce the risk of its occurrence or eliminate or alleviate its manifestations becomes fatal and becomes unbearable for the patient. To resolve the problem the article, with the application of the comparative legal method, raises and reveals questions about the legal assessment of the possibilities and risks of the development of gene diagnostics, the essence and target orientation of special legal regulation in this area, the variability of its systemic organization, genetic «exceptionalism», differentiation of legal regimes of various types of gene diagnostics, the right to bioinformational self-determination, including the right to know and the right not to know one’s genetic data, the grounds and limits of their restrictions, genetic counseling, quality standards in the field of gene diagnostics, especially the requirement for compliance with the modern level development of science and technology. The results of their scientific and practical understanding seem useful from the point of view of the prospects for institutionalization and the formation of the conceptual foundations of gene diagnostics in domestic law.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Accounting
Authors: Mirzaie Fahimeh
Published: January 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool that can make accounting processes faster, more accurate, and more efficient. AI can perform repetitive and tedious tasks, reduce human error, enable continuous auditing, and enhance the security and accuracy of audits. However, AI also presents challenges. The cost of acquiring and training AI-based systems can be high. Additionally, AI may lead to a reduction in accounting jobs. AI requires human oversight and control to prevent misuse and fraud. AI may also encounter ethical, legal, and tax-related issues. Furthermore, AI in accounting requires continuous development and updating to align with new needs and environmental changes. AI, due to its capacity to improve and transform the way activities are carried out in this field, is rapidly changing the reality of accounting. Over the years, accounting has significantly transformed from paper-and-pencil work to the use of computers. More importantly, accounting has evolved with programs that reduce time spent on repetitive tasks and decrease the occurrence of errors. The interest in AI solutions in this field is not new, but in recent years, researchers' attention has increasingly focused on it. Despite technological advancements, there appears to be insufficient data to support companies' willingness to integrate AI solutions into their accounting activities. An important aspect of this reality is the ability of professionals to adapt more quickly to the current situation and acquire the necessary skills to work with AI solutions, overcoming the fear of job loss. This article focuses on understanding the impact of AI solutions on accounting by conducting a qualitative study based on a review of the relevant literature from previous years. It highlights the potential changes that AI could bring to accounting professions and the necessary actions to prepare for the emergence of new jobs where AI solutions will play a larger role.

In the community of Buru Island, the muka ptukar tradition is a practice of exchanging women as a substitute for dowry. In this tradition, the groom's sister is exchanged with the bride’s brother. The purpose of this tradition is to ease the groom’s family in paying dowry and as a recognition of self-identity. This study aims to describe and analyse the muka ptukar tradition of the Waeapo plains community in Buru Island, from the perspective of gender and exchange theories. This study uses a qualitative method, with descriptive and analytical research types. This paper uses several data collection techniques, such as literature, interviews, and observations. The location of this research is the Waeapo plains, Waepsalit Village, Metar Hamlet and Lele Village, Buru Island. The results of the study indicate that the muka ptukar tradition is still alive today, especially in Waepsalit Village, Metar Hamlet, and Lele Village. In fact, in this practice, women are often considered as “exchange tools” for the benefit of men that women are forced to become “dowry”. This practice is a form of discrimination against women, illustrating the strength of patriarchal culture, but at the same time showing certain cultural values, such as good name and family dignity.

Most prediction models for depression do not focus on online learning as a primary area of concern. Hence, the study utilized data mining techniques and machine learning to design a prediction model that could forecast the factors related to depression in online learning. Moreover, the model used dataset normalization, attribute selection, clustering, and optimization techniques such as K-means and particle swarm optimization to extract the predictors from the data. The model identified 18 predictors out of the 55 predictors listed in the following instruments used in the study: the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the University Student Depression Inventory, and the Quality of Student Life since Transition from a dataset of 305 respondents for the simulation. As a result, the model identified at least 28 respondents (9%) indicating depressive symptoms based on the data used to simulate the model's performance.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: The management of neonatal surgical diseases is complex, especially in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), where limited resources and high rates of sepsis contribute to poorer outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic further impacted healthcare systems globally, with many elective surgeries postponed and resources reallocated to critically ill patients. This study aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on neonatal surgical admissions, mortality, and sepsis rates in a tertiary hospital in Northern India.
Methods: This retrospective, observational study analysed admission data from the Neonatal Surgical Intensive Care Unit (NSICU) over two periods: pre-COVID (March 2019 - February 2020) and during COVID (March 2020 - February 2021). Data included patient demographics, diagnoses, admission-to-surgery intervals, and outcomes. Interrupted time series analysis and statistical comparisons were performed, with p<0.05 considered significant.
Results: There was an 18% decline in annual admissions during the COVID period, with a significant delay in surgery due to mandatory pre-operative COVID testing. Despite fewer admissions, 30-day mortality and sepsis rates significantly decreased (mortality from 29% to 22%, p=0.002), potentially due to enhanced infection control and better nurse-to-patient ratios. However, hospital stays were longer during the COVID phase.
Conclusion: While COVID-19 led to reduced admissions and delayed surgeries, mortality and sepsis rates improved, likely from heightened hygiene protocols and reduced patient volumes. These findings highlight the need for robust infection control and adequate staffing to improve neonatal surgical outcomes in LMICs.

Published: January 2025

Kedonganan Beach, located in Kuta District, is one of Bali's coastal areas with significant marine resource potential. Most of the local population works as fishermen due to the village's location, bordered by the sea on both the west and east sides. This makes the majority of its residents engaged in the fisheries and marine sectors, including as fishers. One of the fish species with high potential, and a primary catch for fishermen in the Kedonganan area, is tuna. The method used in this study involvedcollecting data through questionnaires distributed via Google Forms for greater efficiency. The goal of this research is to develop the "Tongkol Membara" (Spicy Tuna) product into a micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME). This requires public interest, especially from the fisherwomen, in the production of this product. The results from seven respondents indicated a 85.7% interest in developing the tuna chili sauce business. Most also expressed interest in participating in a series of activities and continuing the "Tongkol Membara" business. However, 28.5% of respondents were not interested in forming new groups for fisherwomen (BuLayan) because they already belong to existing fisher groups in their respective communities.
