Plasmodium parasites replicate asexually in human hosts. The proportion of infections that carries gametocytes is a proxy for human-to-mosquito transmissibility. It is unclear which proportion of Plasmodium vivax infections in Duffy-negative populations carries gametocytes. We determined the prevalence and characteristics of P. vivax gametocytes in Duffy-positive and -negative populations across broad regions of Ethiopia. Finger-prick blood samples were collected for microscopic and molecular screening of Plasmodium parasites and Duffy status of individuals. Molecular screening of Plasmodium species and Duffy blood group genotyping was done using SYBR green and the Taqman quantitative polymerase chain reaction method. Of the 447 febrile patients who were shown to be P. vivax smear positive, 414 (92.6%) were confirmed by molecular screening as P. vivax and 16 (3.9%) of them were from Duffy-negative individuals. Of these, 5 of 16 (31.3%) Duffy-negative P. vivax–infected samples were detected with gametocytes. Of the 398 Duffy-positive P. vivax–infected samples, 150 (37.7%) were detected with gametocytes, slightly greater than that in Duffy-negative samples. This study highlights the presence of P. vivax gametocytes in Duffy-negative infections, suggestive of human-to-mosquito transmissibility. Although P. vivax infections in Duffy-negative individuals were commonly associated with low parasitemia, some of these infections were shown to have relatively high parasitemia and may represent a prominent erythrocyte invasion capability of P. vivax, and hidden reservoirs that can contribute to transmission. A better understanding of P. vivax transmission biology and gametocyte function particularly in Duffy-negative populations would aid future treatment and management of P. vivax malaria in Africa.

Authors: Chekouri Sidi Mohammed , Kahoui Hacen , Chibi Abderrahim
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between money supply and inflation in Algeria using wavelet analysis. In this study, we have applied Maxima Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT), Multiresolution Analysis (MRA), wavelet correlation, Wavelet Coherence, and wavelet-based Granger causality test to analyze the relationship between the two variables during the period from January 2010 to November 2019. Our findings show strong links between money supply and inflation in both the short and long run, which supports both the traditional and modern quantity theories of money. Additionally, the time scale Granger causality analysis indicates the existence of causality from money supply to inflation over different time horizons. The outcomes of the current study should be of interest to Algerian monetary policymakers as they decide to sustain growth using unconventional monetary policy.

Corruption in Arab countries: a grease or sand in the wheel of economic growth? a panel smooth transition regression approach
Authors: Boudjana Reda Hamza , Mehibel Samer , Samy Lilia
Published: April 2024

The relationship between corruption and economic growth has long been dealt with in the literature. Yet, no consensus has been drawn about the way how corruption might affect economic growth. This paper aims at revisiting the relationship between corruption and growth in the context of Arab countries using a panel threshold model with smooth transition (PSTR). The study covers 14 Arab countries over a period from 2007 to 2017. Our results show that the institutional quality variable divide the sample into two regimes. In the first regime (low institutional quality), reducing corruption risk hinders economic growth. The second regime (high institutional quality) stipulates that a lower risk of corruption will have a positive effect on economic growth. The results on a country basis reveal two heterogenous groups and one homogenous group in terms of hydrocarbons endowment: (1) Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon Sudan ,Syria and UEA are in favor of “grease in the wheels” hypothesis, (2) Bahrain, Kuwait, Morocco and Tunisia demonstrate “the sand in the wheel” hypothesis and (3) Oman, Saudi Arabia and Qatar showed a strong support toward “the sand in the wheel” hypothesis.

Żywa Ziemia. Antropozofia Rudolfa Steinera jako impuls nowoczesnej myśli ekologicznej w przedwojennej Polsce
Authors: Rzeczycka Monika , Patocka-Sigłowy Urszula
Published: April 2024

Research into esoteric ideas and their permeating non-esoteric social practices has revealed a curious phenomenon: the influence of anthroposophy, one of the most important European esoteric movements of the twentieth century, on Polish agriculture in the Second Polish Republic (II RP), as well as the development of modern ecological thought in Polish scientific circles before the Second World War, especially among naturalists and agronomists. This article marks an initial attempt to name the sources, origin as well as methods applied in transforming esoteric ideas, initially presented by Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) in 1924. The ideas were connected with spiritual aspects of agriculture of the future and proved to be a very attractive alternative for the development of civilisation, which inspired both Polish landowners and scientists in the 1930s.
Dieta jarska jako wyraz ekologicznej troski w dyskursie ezoterycznym przełomu XIX i XX wieku
Authors: Świerzowska Agata
Published: April 2024

The vegetarian diet was seen by esotericists at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as the only diet fully compliant with the laws of Nature. Adopting it was therefore treated not only as a way of staying healthy (i.e. maintaining a psycho-physical and spiritual balance) and progressing spiritually, but also as a duty towards Nature and a way to preserve its original, pure and therefore beneficial character. The aim of this paper is to analyse pro-vegetarian and – as the author claims – at the same time pro-ecological discourse developed within the Polish esoteric milieu at the turn of the twentieth century. Based on the example of Polish esoteric vegetarians, the specificity of argumentation and characteristic depiction will be presented as well as the practical implementation of the proclaimed postulates.
Chrześcijański feminizm w Afryce – kontynentalne dyskursy i lokalne praktyki
Authors: Niedźwiedź Anna
Published: April 2024

This paper discusses selected research topics developed by feminist theologians connected with the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians. The Circle was established in 1989 and was led for many years by Mercy Amba Oduyoye, a Ghanaian Methodist theologian. Today the Circle attracts women theologians from three generations and various African countries. The paper refers to feminist and postcolonial theories as well as some more African-oriented topics developed in the Circle’s writings. Complex and ambiguous reinterpretations of the so-called African Traditional Religion are framed by references to inculturation and liberation theology. The final part of the paper refers to the concept of “oral theology” and theology in practice. The author’s ethnographic fieldwork in Ghana among Catholic women is mentioned to draw parallels between the theological practical approach and the anthropological concept of lived religion.
Innovative Methods for 3D Point Cloud Processing of Large Data Sets and Its Practical Implementations.
Authors:   , Singh Rishika
Published: April 2024

Various point cloud processing applications demand fast and accurate results for extracting feature information from the data. Given that point clouds are implemented in various fields, this thesis focuses on the point clouds used by surveyors and civil engineers for geographic information systems. Examples of point clouds used within the industry include urban sites, city blocks, terrains for road development, construction sites, quarries, mines, etc. The technological advancements (evolution of laser scanners) that allow the data to be captured in millions created their own recurring problems. The algorithms developed in this thesis are targeted at large point clouds containing various features and shapes. However, while capturing the point clouds, several outliers and noise are captured with the regular data due to the reflection of surfaces like glass and mirrors or weather conditions. Therefore, the detection and deletion of these outliers and noise are required to address and simplify the feature detection process. Hence, point cloud filtration is the first step of point cloud processing. After filtration, the data is relatively smaller and free from outliers and noise. The next step is to detect and extract the features from the point clouds and perform segmentation and other points analysis techniques. This thesis proposes, designs, develops and implements the methods and algorithms for robust and efficient point cloud processing. The processing includes filtrations followed by detecting and extracting primitive shapes such as planes, edges and cylinders. Contributions: The first contribution of this thesis is the method of removing noise and outliers using the designed tools. The second contribution is a novel PCA-based algorithm for detecting edges and edge streams in point clouds. Finally, a voxel-based algorithm to detect trunks and pole-like objects. These proposed methods and algorithms directly benefit the processing of the point clouds with properties like filtration, extraction, segmentation, clusterisation and accuracy. The results of the proposed methods and algorithms are implemented on commercial software used by UK and worldwide users.

THE CONTEMPORARY TYPES OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Authors: Myskiv Galуna
Published: April 2024

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept according to which enterprises take responsibility for the impact of their activities on society, the economy, and the environment. The implementation of CSR involves not only meeting basic requirements in the areas of environmental protection and socio-economic development, but also active participation in social projects aimed at improving the lives of employees, local communities, and society as a whole. However, the realities of modern life and business operations extend far beyond the boundaries of a single enterprise, community, or even country. The world has become globalized, necessitating the establishment of new rules of engagement for the sake of societal well-being and survival. Such rules were adopted through the Global Compact in September 2015 at the UN Sustainable Development Summit, which defined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that the world aimed to achieve by 2030 [1]. These goals are an integral part of building a civilized and democratic society and aim to address specific and urgent socio-economic and environmental challenges caused by human activity. In 2017, Ukraine adopted all 17 SDGs and incorporated them into its national policies, declaring support for sustainable development as a priority direction and a key principle for enhancing cooperation with the EU. Considering the active involvement of Ukrainian companies in the pursuit of sustainable development and the achievement of SDGs, which they actively report on in their public non-financial reporting, it is worth examining CSR through the prism of its connection to the SDGs and classifying types of CSR based on this.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONCEPTS OF “DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION” AND “CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE”: BIBLIOMETRIC AND TREND ANALYSIS
Authors: Hubarieva Iryna , Trushkina Nataliia
Published: April 2024

In recent decades, the intensive transition to digital technologies in the countries of the world [1-6] contributes to the acceleration of the processes of digitization of the development of global and national ecosystems under the conditions of Industry 5.0. This is due to the use of large databases, blockchain, artificial intelligence, mixed forms of work, digital marketing tools, the formation of electronic platforms and critical information infrastructure, the activation of electronic business and commerce, etc. However, this, in turn, leads to the appearance of various cybersecurity threats and risks in the national security system [7-9]. Therefore, it became necessary to form a qualitatively new paradigm of strategic management of the development of critical infrastructure, taking into account modern global challenges, one of which is recognized as the digital transformation of the economy. It is worth emphasizing that critical infrastructure provides essential services to society. Critically important infrastructure objects should be stable even during crisis situations, natural disasters, terrorist acts, cyberattacks, armed conflicts and hostilities [10-11]. At the same time, the concept of critical infrastructure in most countries of the world is constantly evolving to reflect current problems and respond to new challenges, especially from the point of view of cybersecurity and resilience [12]. Protection of critical infrastructure from numerous threats has become a priority task at the national level of various countries of the world. Over the past two decades, the critical infrastructure threat landscape has been dominated by a new type of threat – cyberattacks, resulting from many cyber incidents. In view of this, the problems of critical infrastructure development in the new digital era are becoming more relevant.

This research uses a non-probability sampling technique by drawing the number of samples using a purposive sampling technique with the criteria being teenagers in grades 10 to 12 of high school, aged between 15 and 18 years, residing in one of the regions of West Java. This research uses a correlational quantitative research strategy. The data collection method is carried out through offline questionnaires. . The results of analysis using Pearson correlation showed that there was a negative relationship between emotional regulation and depressive symptoms in adolescents after their parents' divorce (r = -0.634, p = .000 < 0.05). This shows that if emotional regulation is low then depressive symptoms will be high, and vice versa. The benefit of this research is that it provides a deeper understanding of the importance of emotional regulation in dealing with stress and difficult situations, especially for teenagers who experience their parents' divorce.

The role of exchange rates is very important in the international market and the variability of exchange rates both in the case of appreciation or depreciation is directly connected with the economic performance of a country. Exchange rate variations in oil-producing countries in Africa have been too high resulting in volatilities due to domestic and foreign shocks. High volatility of exchange rate may translate into reduction of trade flows, foreign direct investment, and instability in both interest rates and inflation rates. Several studies on the relationship between economic fundamentals and exchange rates focused more on Africa or country-specific with limited focus on African oil-producing countries using asymmetric cointegration. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between some economic fundamentals and real exchange rates in oil-producing countries in Africa. The dynamics panel non-linear autoregressive distributed lag and linear autoregressive distributed lag were used to investigate the relationship between economic fundamentals and real exchange rate (RER). The NARDL result shows evidence that there exists both short and long-run asymmetric relationship between economic fundamentals and RER. The study recommended that policymakers in these countries pay more attention to their macroeconomic policies to reduce the production and transaction costs of foreign direct investment (FDI).

Gig working or moonlighting has grown significantly over the years and Covid has intensified this trend. Moonlighting is a phenomenon where people work outside their working hours for another organization, either full-time, contract, or freelance. Working for more than one organization to combat various issues like boredom, additional finance, etc. is becoming common and the new generation of employees is more inclined towards it. Some people pursue hobbies in their free time, while others look for part-time jobs. Especially in the IT industry, employees work in two jobs at the same time due to the remote working model. The idea of working for two organizations is termed moonlighting. This article covers various aspects and impacts of moonlighting in the Indian IT industry including Pre- and Post-Covid situations to IT firms. A survey questionnaire was the main tool used by the researcher to collect the data. 100 respondents over the age of 20 years and above were chosen randomly from IT sectors. Questions on their perception and preference towards moonlighting such as interest, familiarity, engagement, challenges, and impacts were included in the questionnaire. While a significant percentage of respondents were aware of the term moonlighting and the advantages of taking second jobs. Moreover, the study found that there is a positive impact on the respondents who were involved in moonlighting.
