Foreign Direct Investment, Institutional Quality, and Environmental Pollution in Selected African Countries
Authors: Kehinde John Akomolafe
Published: December 2024

African countries increasingly attract foreign direct investment as they strive for economic growth and development. However, there have been concerns over the rising effects of FDI on pollution. These concerns are rooted in the potential for industrial activities associated with FDI to have adverse environmental impacts. Hence, the needs to tackle the problem of pollution cannot be overemphasized. One way to do this is by strengthening the quality of African institutions. This study was conducted to examine the effects of institutional quality and FDI on environmental pollution in selected African countries. Environmental pollution was measured using CO2 emission.The result of the PCSE estimator showed that institutional quality had negative effects on environmental pollution, but the effect of FDI was positive and insignificant. Also, the effect of moderating effect showed that institutional quality has the potential to reduce the positive effect of FDI on environmental pollution. It was recommended that African governments should strengthen the quality of their institutions by strengthening environmental governance frameworks.
Natural Resource Endowment, Human Capital Development, and Economic Growth in Selected African Countries
Authors: Kehinde John Akomolafe
Published: December 2024

Policymakers, particularly in Africa, have continued to be preoccupied with the issue of the resource curse and how to address it. This study was conducted to investigate the moderating effect of human capital development in the resource-growth relationship in six chosen African countries from 1992 to 2019. Panels Corrected Standard Errors was used as the main estimator. The results confirm the Dutch disease by showing that natural resources had a negative impact on economic growth,while human capital had a beneficial influence. It was also shown that the development of human capital could not mitigate the detrimental impact of natural resources on economic growth. Hence, African countries should make efforts to reduce their dependence on natural resources and focus on the development of other sectors of the economy as a way to solve the problem of the resource curse.

Published: December 2024

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been prevalent in millions of people worldwide for more than 50 years. Therefore, its prevalence must be monitored to make well-informed decisions and create efficient health plans. This paper dwelt on the modeling and prediction of the prevalence of HIV among inpatients and outpatients visiting Jibril Mai-Gwari I Memorial Hospital in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State. An expo-facto research methodology was adopted for this study through the collection of twelve (12) years of monthly data spanning the period 2010-2021 as extracted from the hospital’s inpatient and outpatient department records. Box and Jenkins analytical approach was used to model the data due to its presence of unit root, as a non-stationarity data cannot be modeled using the conventional time series models. Iterative methods were applied in the identification of several ARIMA models as ARIMA (2, 1, 5) model was found to be the best fit among the 25 iterated models based on its higher loglikelihood (-435.57), lower variance (24.95) and lower AIC (887.13). More so, the model was found to scale through the portmanteau tests of residual independence (Ljung-Box Chi-square 5.9261, p-value > 0.05) and normality (Wilk 0.9830, p-value > 0.05), a confirmatory test of model reliability and accuracy. Although the prognosis suggests that HIV prevalence may not change significantly in the upcoming years, the expanding uncertainty band suggests that it will be challenging to estimate HIV prevalence in the future with high confidence. To manage prevalence and lower the chance of an unanticipated increase, public health measures must be consistent and effective.

Authors: Soliman Nabil , Shalaby Amr , Farag Mayada , Kamal Shimaa , Alashqar Sara , Ammar Mohamed , Mawed Suzan
Published: December 2024

Background:
Pain and inflammation are closely associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which affects the bones and joints.

Aim:
While there are a number of therapeutic options for arthritis, their side effects restrict their use and encourage the search for alternative, natural remedies.

Methods:
In male rats, we examined the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties of Naja haje venom (NHV). Thirty adult albino rats were divided into five equal groups, each consisting of six rats. The1st group kept as control,while the 2nd group (FCA) received an injection of 0.05 mL of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) for eight days to induce RA and inflammation. The3rd group (FCA/NHVL) and the4th group (FCA/NHVH) received an injection of FCA followed by an intraperitoneal injection of 0.042 µg/kg (low; L) and 0.085 µg/kg (high; H) of lyophilized NHV, respectively, for 14 days. The5th group (FCA/Indomethacin) received an injection of FCA followed by an intraperitoneal injection of 0.25 mg indomethacin/kg for 14 days.

Results:
This study found that NHVH significantly increased the body's total antioxidant capacity (TAC) after FCA while lowering the levels of interleukinsIL-10 and IL-6, as well as the activity of genes that cause inflammation, like NF-κB and TNF-α. Furthermore, histological findings in NHVH groups showed a partial regeneration of the cartilage, bone, and synovium in the palm and ankle joint compartments.

Conclusion:
All of our findings suggest that NHV has anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic qualities that may help repair the joint-damaging components caused by FCA and restore cellular equilibrium.

Perbandingan Hukum Keluarga Islam dan Hukum Perdata
Authors: Hanafiah Mahmudi
Published: December 2024

Apart from being rich in culture, Indonesia is also rich in religion and belief. Each religion has certain rules as a guide to life for each of its followers. Religious diversity will of course give rise to diverse rules in social life. This is what causes the need for Indonesian Positive Law which regulates the ins and outs of the lives of all citizens. Civil Law is one of the Positive Laws in Indonesia which regulates family life. Islam, as the religion with the most adherents in Indonesia, has special rules regarding family life which are contained in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). This article discusses the two models of Positive Law in the form of a comparative study with qualitative research. From the research results it can be concluded that the scope of Civil Law is wider than Islamic Family Law. Islamic Family Law originates from religious norms, while Civil Law originates from the Dutch colonial government which was enforced in Indonesia since May 1 1848. There are several things that constitute contradictions between Islamic Family Law and Civil Law, both vertically and horizontally. These contradictions need to be synchronized by paying attention to four things, namely: definition, source, scope and legal interaction.

Authors: Khoa Bui Quoc , Nguyen Hoang-Tien , Anh Dinh Ba Hung , Ngoc Nguyen Minh
Published: December 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming supply chain planning and decision making, enabling organizations to tackle the complexities of modern supply chains. This article explores the various applications of AI in supply chain management, including demand forecasting, inventory optimization, transportation and logistics optimization, supplier selection and risk management, and predictive maintenance and asset management. AI-powered demand forecasting models analyze historical data and market trends to predict future demand accurately, while AI-driven inventory optimization considers factors such as lead times and demand variability to determine optimal inventory levels. AI can also optimize transportation routes, modes, and schedules, and assist in supplier selection and risk assessment. Predictive maintenance using AI helps reduce equipment downtime and maintenance costs. However, organizations must consider challenges such as data quality, algorithmic bias, interpretability of AI models, and ethical considerations when adopting AI in supply chain management. As AI technologies advance and integrate with other emerging technologies, the future of AI in supply chain management looks promising, offering organizations the potential to achieve greater efficiency, agility, and competitiveness.
This study provided a content analysis of studies aiming to disclose how artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to the education sector and explore the potential research trends and challenges ofAI in education. A total of 100 papers including 63 empirical papers (74 studies) and 37 analytic papers were selected from the education and educational research category of Social Sciences Citation Index database from 2010 to 2020. The content analysis showed that the research questions could be classified into development layer (classification, matching, recommendation, and deep learning), application layer (feedback, reasoning, and adaptive learning), and integration layer (affection computing, role-playing, immersive learning, and gamification). Moreover, four research trends, including Internet of Things, swarm intelligence, deep learning, and neuroscience, as well as an assessment of AI in education, were suggested for further investigation. However, we also proposed the challenges in education may be caused by AI with regard to inappropriate use ofAI techniques, changing roles of teachers and students, as well as social and ethical issues. The results provide insights into an overview of the AI used for education domain, which helps to strengthen the theoretical foundation of AI in education and provides a promising channel for educators and AI engineers to carry out further collaborative research.

R as a Game-Changer in Clinical Trial Reporting: Best Practices for TLF Compliance
Authors:   Programmer Analyst at Thermofisher Scientific, USA, Uttiramerur Arvind
Published: December 2024

In clinical trial reporting, the generation of Tables, Listings, and Figures (TLFs) is crucial for data presentation and
regulatory submission. Historically, SAS has been the predominant tool for creating TLFs; however, with the
increasing adoption of open-source software in the pharmaceutical industry, R has emerged as a viable alternative.
This paper presents a comprehensive approach to creating TLFs using R, focusing on the required R packages,
strategies for handling missing values, and methods for rounding numeric values. By leveraging R's capabilities,
organizations can achieve greater flexibility and efficiency in their reporting processes, potentially reducing costs
associated with software licensing and training. Additionally, the integration of R in clinical workflows can facilitate
real-time data analysis and enhance decision-making, positioning R as a powerful tool for the pharmaceutical
industry’s evolving landscape. This work demonstrates how R can be effectively used for clinical trial reporting,
offering significant advantages compared to traditional tools.

Published: December 2024

The IoT-Based Smart Garbage Monitoring and
Domestic Care System leverages Arduino and various sensors
to provide an intelligent solution for waste management and
domestic care. The system utilizes ultrasonic sensors to
measure the fill levels of bins, detecting when they are near
capacity. An IR sensor identifies the presence of waste in real
time, and a moisture sensor classifies the waste as either wet or
dry. This classification enables the system to segregate waste
using a servo motor for proper disposal. Additionally, a gas
sensor monitors harmful gases like methane, which may
indicate hazardous conditions. The ultrasonic sensor measures
the bin's level by emitting ultrasonic waves and measuring the
time taken for the waves to bounce back after hitting the surface
of the waste. By utilizing this data, the system can determine
the fill level of the dustbin.

Analysis of the Effects of the Covid-19 Process on the Financial Performance of Businesses in the Defense Industry By the TOPSIS, EDAS, CoCoSo Method: ISE Sample
Authors: Aktepe Cemalettin , İzgi Fatma
Published: December 2024

The defense industry has recently received attention due to its significant advancements. This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial performance of companies operating in the Turkish defense sector. The financial data from 2019 to 2023 of defense industry firms listed on Borsa Istanbul, namely ASELS, OTKAR, PAPIL, SDTTR, NETAŞ, and KATMER, were analyzed. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the financial performance of these companies during the pandemic by comparing it with the pre-pandemic period. In this context, eight financial ratios related to liquidity, turnover, financial structure, and profitability were utilized to assess financial performance. The criteria weights were determined using the Entropy method, and the performance rankings of the companies were established through Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques, including TOPSIS, EDAS, and CoCoSo. This study offers a novel perspective by examining the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Turkish defense industry firms and uncovering their financial performance in comparison to previous periods. According to the results of the entropy method, the most significant criteria for evaluating the financial performance of companies listed on Borsa Istanbul (BİST) are Active Profitability Ratio (APR) and Equity Profitability Ratio (EPR). In the year 2020, which was significantly impacted by the pandemic, companies with strong financial performance included ASELS, PAPIL, SDTTR, and NETAŞ. Conversely, KATMER was identified as one of the companies with weaker financial performance during the same period.

Published: December 2024

The study aims to understand the intricate association between Social Practice Activity (SPA), Students' Involvement (SI), and Sense of Social Responsibility (SSR), and focuses on the following two questions: (1) What is the relationship between SPA, SI and SSR? (2) Does SI have a mediating role in SPA and SSR?

The questionnaire was employed in this study, 502 valid questionnaires were received from college students at a vocational university in Shanxi, China. Data were analyzed using the software including SPSS and AMOS, and the specific methods include correlational analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The Bootstrap method mediating effect test was used to test the mediating role of SI between SPA and SSR.

The results revealed that there was a significant correlation between SPA, SI and SSR and their dimensions. SI (including rule-based involvement, procedural involvement, and autonomous involvement) has a positive mediating effect between SPA (including activity organization, teacher guidance, and service support) and SSR (including global social responsibility and responsibility of people). This result supports that focus on students' involvement in social practice activities, and combine the creation of an external environment with the promotion of individual involvement.
