Endogeneity Violation on the Comparison of Ordinary Least Square and Maximum Likelihood Extraction Method of Factor Analysis
Authors: Oluwapelumi Alabi , Kayode O. J.
Published: September 2023

One of the main objectives of factor analysis is to reduce the number of parameters. The number of parameters in the original model is equal to the number of unique elements in the covariance matrix. The study compared ordinary least square and maximum likelihood method of extraction of factor analysis under two approaches such that the variables employed were assumed to be independent of error i.e endogeneity assumption in the first approach while the endogeneity assumption is violated by omitting the important variable HLT in the second approach. The result showed that the extracted factors under the violation of endogeneity has similar factors loading pattern which accounted for a great deal of variance and the factors do a good job of representing the original data and the Bayesian information criterion also showed that the maximum likelihood method of extraction slightly outperforms ordinary least square.

Authors: Santhoshkumar K. , Sekar C.
Published: September 2023

A study was carried out to analyze the consumers’ preference of coconut oil in Tamil Nadu state, India. Data were collected from consumers across the three major coconut producing zones of Tamil Nadu. Thirty respondents were interviewed for the survey. Among the consumers of coconut oil, a little over 33% belonged to the age group of 31-40 years and majority of them (60%) were females. TV advertisement was the major source of information about coconut products. More than 80% of the consumers were using coconut oil as hair oil. About 31% used unbranded oil for edible purposes Adequate availability of homemade oil and high price were the main reasons for not choosing branded coconut oil. The factors influencing the use of coconut oil for household consumption was examined by functional analysis. The R2 value of 0.57 indicates that about 57% of the variation in the household consumption is influenced by the family type, age, education and income of the households. The variable education was positive and significant at 5% level indicating that increase in educational level of the consumers would result in increase the household consumption. Since the price of oil is comparatively high for many of the consumers, the usage of coconut is very much limited. The unacceptable flavour and taste unlike other conventionally used oils like groundnut and gingelly oils, made the consumers not to use coconut oil for cooking purposes. The nutritive and economic values of coconut oil should be popularized among the households to enhance the usage of coconut oil as a cooking media since education played a key role in deciding the usage of oil. The misconception of consuming coconut oil inducing health hazards like accumulation of fat may be eliminated through adequate mass media contacts and awareness campaigns by the institutional agencies to ensure adequate intake of coconut oil in the day-to-day food chain mechanisms.

Euthanasia is nothing else but a permit or license to the medical professional for ending the life of a person in question. At the extreme ends of disagreement, advocates say euthanasia, also known as physician aid in dying, or physician assisted suicide, is a merciful method of death. At the other end are opponents of euthanasia, who may consider this method as a form of murder. The issue of euthanasia is likely to remain high on the medicolegal or ethical agendas of many countries in coming years.

Work and Sept Stability through Equal Occupation Opportunity Platforms and Accord Making in India
Authors: Palanivel R. V.
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this article is to assess the ability of formal Equal Wmployment Opportunity (EEO) programmes and workplace agreement making to facilitate work and family balance for women workers in India. This article uses documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews in six Indian organisations that are required to develop formal EEO programmes. Formal EEO programmes and agreement making are limited in their ability to promote work and family-friendly arrangements at the workplace. Informal arrangements and managerial discretion are important in realising work and care balance. The paper is Indian based, and the case studies were confined to six organisations, which restrict the findings. Leave and work arrangements need to be required within agreements and EEO programmes. Most programmes gravitate towards minimum requirements, hence, it is important to ensure that these minimum requirements provide for work and care reconciliation. Programmes beyond the workplace, such as funded childcare, are important in this context. The article highlights that formal mechanisms cannot achieve work and care reconciliation for women workers if they are built upon very limited minimum requirements, are voluntary and are dependent upon a bargaining process at the workplace.

Authors: Khataniar Rabinjyoti , Sarma Kishor
Published: September 2023

The eastern most State of Arunachal Pradesh is inhabited by as many as 25 major tribes and more that 110 sub tribes each having their own customary institutions of resource management, exchange and distribution guided by its respective customary laws (Duarah,1990). In a communitarian economy like Arunachal Pradesh, all available natural resources are used to manage by the various ethnic groups of the State. However, incursion of macroeconomic factors to the traditional tribal society brought about significant changes in the traditional society in terms of community resources availability, social norms and thoughts, identities of property right institutions, livelihood strategy, etc. The process gradually results in losing the well-defined identities of Common Property Resources [1] as well as the strength of some age-old traditional institution like Kebang of Adi, Nyats of Nyshi, etc. which has led to a situation of class conflicts among the tribes and degradation of environment.

The Root Causes of Domestic Terrorism in Nigeria: An Empirical Investigation
Authors: Okokondem Okon Emmanuel
Published: September 2023

Terrorism is the premeditated use or threat to use violence by individuals or sub-national groups against non-combatants in order to obtain a political or social objective through the intimidation of a large audience beyond that of the immediate victims. Nigeria as a developing country is having its own share of act of terrorism. With its multifaceted problems of mass unemployment, illiteracy, poor health, low infrastructure and poverty, Nigeria’s inability to secure her citizens has become more glaring than ever. However, the root causes of terrorism in the country have yet to be examined. In this paper, the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) technique was explored to estimate the behavioural equation for the period 1970 to 2015. Following a detailed time series analysis, the findings reveal that economic, political and environmental factors are prevalent regarding the root causes of terrorism in Nigeria, confirming the need for a redoubling of public policy efforts towards mitigating the associated risk. Government should continue to ensure that capital expenditure and recurrent expenditure are properly managed in a manner that it will raise the nation’s production capacity and accelerate economic growth. Likewise, intelligence capabilities should be enhanced with emphasis on the combination of technology with human intelligence gathering.

Millions of people worldwide suffer from osteoarthritis, which is a major health problem. The accessible medicines are used in changing the side effects of osteoarthritis however missing illness alterations, not with-standing drug after-effects, and care expenses without adequacy of side effects help. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. We look for relevant articles in all articles published between December 30, 2007, and December 30, 2022, in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Wanfang Database, CNKI, and Web of Science databases. With an average follow-up of 18.33 months, this study included 364 patients with knee joint osteoarthritis from 12 completely published articles. Data from seven studies using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score. In Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs), the baseline score on the Visual Analogue Scale decreased. These results suggested that there was no significant relationship between the BM-MSCs at three months (Weighted Mean Difference (WMD) = 1.07, 95% CI: − 2.44, − 0.39, p= 0.074); and the greatest decrease in VAS score compared to the control at 18.33 months, WMD = 6.04, 95 percent CI: − 10.34, − 0.38, p = 0.017. In clinical applications, intra-articular injection of BM-MSCs has advantages for treating OA because it reduces pain index, improves knee movement, and increases cartilage volume.

Komenda - okresem rozwoju czy stagnacji klasztoru cystersów w Szczyrzycu
Authors: Marszalska Jolanata M.
Published: September 2023

W artykule przybliżono rolę opatów komendatoryjnych w klasztorze cystersów w Szczyrzycu. Opactwo to, choć było jednym z najmniejszych w Małopolsce, przez prawie dwa stulecia było objęte komendą, a sprawujący swój urząd opaci komendataryjni w przeciwieństwie do innych klasztorów składali śluby zakonne i przywdziewali habit. Komenda szczyrzycka w znacznym stopniu różniła się od komendy w pozostałych klasztorach cysterskich, szczególnie tych, których uposażenie było zdecydowanie większe np. w Jędrzejowie, Mogile, Wąchocku czy klasztorów benedyktyńskich (Tyniec, Lubiń) i kanonickich (Czerwińsk, Trzemeszno).

Since January 2020, COVID-19 has impacted numerous nations and areas worldwide. During the pandemic, many companies and institutions started an online working system, due to which it is considered that the profitability of IT companies increased. As we saw in the literature, no study was conducted that provided information regarding the performance of the IT sector before and after COVID-19. Now, we have decided to add to the existing literature about the impact of COVID-19 on IT companies in South Asia. This research was important because it helped identify the performance of IT companies during the pandemic. The main objective of this study was to analyze the performance of the IT sector, both pre and during/post COVID-19, in selected South Asian countries: Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka. The study included three periods: pre-COVID-19 from 2010 to 2018, during COVID-19, and post-COVID-19 from 2019 to 2021. To determine whether there was a significant difference between the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the IT sector before and during/after COVID-19, we employed a one-sample T-test. Additionally, to compare the performance of countries with each other and to compare the means of the pre-COVID-19 and during/post-COVID-19 periods, we used the Univariate Variance Analysis test. The null hypothesis was that there was no significant difference in ratios of the IT sector in South Asia between the pre and during/post COVID-19 periods. Through the application of one sample T-test and Univariate test, this study concluded that due to COVID-19, there was a significant difference in profitability, solvency, liquidity, and sales ratios, except for the quick ratio, between the periods of pre and during/post COVID-19.
Testing for Heteroskedasticity in The Presence of Outliers

Regression analysis is prone to the issue of heteroscedastic data in a variety of real-world cases, including macroeconomic data. Thus, it is crucial to test the data for possible heteroskedasticity. This is important because if the data is found to be heteroskedastic. Then, this may seriously impact the regression analysis's estimation and testing phase. It is emphasized that real data may contain one or more outliers; thus, it is important to use the appropriate test to test for the presence of heteroskedasticity when there is evidence of outliers present in the data. A commonly used test to test for heteroskedasticity is the Goldfeld-Quandt (GQ) test. However, its performance becomes questionable when the data contains one or more outliers. A modified version of GQ (MGQ) is available in the literature that considers the issue of outliers into account while testing for possible heteroskedasticity in the data. Though this is a good addition to an existing stream of heteroskedasticity tests, little attention is given to literature regarding its applicability. The present study takes the lead and makes the case that practitioners should use this newly proposed MGQ test. Various real-world cases using popular data sets are discussed, indicating the superiority of MGQ over the conventional GQ test when there are outliers in the data. The findings based on real-world data indicate that practitioners should use the MGQ test whenever the data contains outliers to avoid misleading conclusions.
