The Burden and Effects of Cooking Fuels Usage on Women in Rural Areas: A Case Study of Afao-Ekiti, Nigeria
Authors: AKOMOLAFE Kehinde John , YUSUF Elizabeth
Published: December 2022

This paper examines the burden and health effects of cooking fuels in Afao Ekiti, Nigeria. Primary data collected through the administration of structured questionnaires were used for the analysis. The results show that firewood is the fuel used intensively, and women trekked an average of 5 to 10km to collect it. Also, the result shows that most of the respondents who suffer from symptoms of diseases were women. In addition, most of the women who suffer from the reported cases of diseases were women from households who cooked with firewood or kerosene. In addition, most of the respondents were not willing to switch to the use of LPG for cooking because of its unavailability, cost of LPG, and the level of illiteracy in the use of LPG equipment. It is therefore recommended that there is the need for policy makers to embark on awareness campaign to educate rural dwellers on the proper use of LPG equipment, and on the health effects of various cooking fuel types.

Authors: PANKOVA Svetlana Valentinovna , TSYPIN Alexandr Pavlovich , POPOV Valery Vladimirovich
Published: December 2022

The article considers theoretical and practical approaches to studying the level of food security in Russia in the context of statistics. The study of the theoretical material enabled to create a terminology database of the “food security” concept, as well as the conceptual framework of the statistical study of Russian food safety. This model is based on the hypothesis made up of three components which are studied to identify statistical relationships: 1) the relationship between food security and inflationary processes; 2) regional differentiation of food security level; 3) consideration of specific features of certain food groups and regional clusters. This algorithm revealed the threat of undermining food security due to the ruble devaluation, falling living standards and a significant reduction in production; substantial differentiation of Russia’s federal subjects by the food security level; the regression models based on panel data showed that there are strong individual effects and the identified relationship should be considered when creating a strategy to increase food security. The paper represents the first attempt to scientifically verify methods of statistical research on the country’s food security. The findings can be used in further research on food safety issues, both by independent researchers and state authorities.

Published: December 2022

The Nigerian economy has been experiencing a jobless growth for over two decades. The main driver of this growth has been petroleum oil whose price started falling since 2015. The petroleum oil, which is the major driver of this growth, creates few jobs and as such, it is less inclusive. This paper, therefore, focused on agriculture as alternative to oil and as such investigates the areas where agriculture can replace petroleum oil as the major driver of growth in Nigeria. Majorly, the paper investigates the qualities of agriculture in matching economic growth with reduction in unemployment, inequality and poverty to pave way for inclusive growth within the economy. To achieve the objective above, a secondary data was analyzed using a VAR model which estimated the direct and indirect effects of agriculture on employment, inequality and poverty reduction. The findings revealed that agriculture have negative effects on employment and poverty and positive effects on inequality and gross capital formation. It is therefore, recommended that more emphasis should be placed on adaptation of imported technology to Nigerian’s situation before applying such on agriculture to make it pro-poor growth.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the efficiency of using associated petroleum gas (APG) and to identify the main problems, prospects and ways to increase the efficiency of its use. The article presents the results of studying the current state policy and national interests in the field of its rational use. The authors carried out an analysis of the current state of the oil and gas market at the international and regional level, as a result of which the main spectrum of problems of APG effective use was identified. A scheme was proposed which regulates the interaction between the APG market participants and is aimed at increasing the level of APG beneficial use in Russia. The authors’ research will make it possible to determine that the most significant factors that ensure a high level of APG flaring in Russia are as follows: the shortage of APG processing capacity, the restriction of oil companies’ access to the Unified Gas Supply System, the gaps in the current legal and regulatory framework, the absence of a single mechanism for the selection of projects on utilizing APG in a particular field/group of fields, as well as pricing in the oil and gas market. The findings are of practical value for scholars in the field of technology management, and for large industrial complexes.

Economics and Psychology. The Framing of Decisions
Authors: SCHILIRO Daniele
Published: December 2022

In the Theory of Rational Decision Making the psychological aspects are set aside. This contribution seeks to point out the relevance of psychology into eco- nomic decisions. The essay treats the “framing of decisions”, which is a pillar of Kahneman’s behavioral theory. Framing must be considered a special case of the more general phenomenon of dependency from the representation. The best-known risky choice-framing problem, i.e. the “Asian Disease Problem”, is shown where an essen- tial aspect of rationality: invariance, is violated. In addition, the contribution ex- plains Kahneman and Tversky’s Prospect Theory and illustrates their value function. Finally, it discusses the reversals of preference in framing and framing of contingen- cies. The framing manipulation is viewed as a public tool for influencing the decision maker’s private framing of the problem in terms of gains or losses, which determines the decision maker’s evaluation of the options. In conclusion, the psychology of choice is relevant both for the descriptive question of how decisions are made and for the nor- mative question of how decisions ought to be made.

Therefore, they need to consider other entrepreneurial factors that can further develop their business performance without relying on the government and other stakeholders.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the risks associated with lending to tourism and hospitality businesses in the context of COVID-19 restrictions. The author proposes a scoring methodology to assess the quantitative and qualitative factors of borrowers’ credit standing based on industry-related risks and the quantification of potential loss given default. The analysis of credit standing draws on actual figures from financial statements of the ten biggest tour operators present in the Russian and Kazakh tourism markets, as well as a survey of experts specialising in bank lending.

The findings confirm the proposed hypothesis of a negative impact of the pandemic on the financial condition and credit standing of tourism and hospitality businesses and an increase of banks’ credit risks. The trends of lending to tourism and hotel businesses have indicated a contraction of credit supply as a result of the low credit standing of borrowers. An industry analysis shows that losses from the materialisation of credit risks in the group of tourism businesses could be significant for banks. The author concludes that to maintain financial stability and the level of credit in the industry, the state should continue to support the sector, including the provision of soft loans to help finance some items of expenses.
