The European Union and China
Authors: Christiansen Thomas , Kirchner Emil , Wissenbach Uwe
Published: August 2024

This accessible text offers a comprehensive analysis of the European Union (EU)-China relationship, as one of the most important in global politics today. Both are major players on the world stage, accounting for 30% of trade and nearly a quarter of the world's population. This text shows how, despite many differences in political systems and values, China and the EU have developed such a close, regular set of interactions at multiple levels: from political-strategic, to economic, and individual.

The authors start with an historical overview of the domestic politics and foreign policy apparatus of each partner to show the context in which external relations are devised. From this foundation, each key dimension of the relationship is analysed, from trade and monetary policy, security, culture and society. The authors show the relative merits of different theoretical perspectives and outline what is next for this complex, ever-changing relationship. At every step, the success of each partner in persuading the other of changing their position(s) for key strategic interests is explored. What emerges is a multifaceted picture of relations between two sides that are fundamentally different kinds of actors in the international system, yet have many mutual interests and a common stake in the stability of global governance.

The first major text to offer an accessible introduction to the multifaceted nature of EU-China relations, this book is an ideal companion for upper undergraduate and postgraduate students on Politics, International Relations and European Studies courses.
Shakespeare and Directing in Practice
Authors: Ewert Kevin
Published: August 2024

When directors approach Shakespeare, is the play always the thing – or might something else sometimes be the thing?

How can directing produce fresh contexts for Shakespeare's work?

Part of the innovative series Shakespeare in Practice this book introduces students to current practices of directing Shakespeare. Ewert explores how the conventions and creative tropes of today's theatre make meaning in Shakespeare production now. The 'In Theory' section starts with an analysis of theatre production and directing more generally before looking at the specific Shakespeare context. The 'In Practice' section offers a wonderful range of production examples that showcase the wide breadth of approaches to directing Shakespeare today, from the 'conventional' to the most experimental.

Providing a useful general overview of directing Shakespeare on stage today, this is an ideal text for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying 'Shakespeare in Performance' in Literature, Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies departments. This book will also inspire students studying directing as part of a theatre programme, and scholars, performers and lovers of Shakespeare everywhere.

Published: August 2024

Penelitian ini mengkaji terkait pemungutan suara ulang yang terjadi pada TPS 14 dan TPS 16 Desa Raci Kecamatan Bangil Kabupaten Pasuruan yang berlokasi di Pondok Pesantren Darullughah Wadda`wah. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui analisis secara yuridis dari sistem pemungutan suara serta penanganan pelanggaran dari kasus tersebut. Metode penelitian yang digunakan pada penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Penelitian yuridis normatif merupakan penelitian yang menggunakan sumber-sumber hukum seperti peraturan perundang-undangan, keputusan pengadilan, kontrak atau perjanjian, teori-teori hukum dan pendapat para ahli. Selain menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif, pendekatan yuridis empiris juga digunakan sebagai pelengkap atau pendukung penelitian. Pendekatan secara empiris dalam penelitian ini dilakukan dengan proses wawancara dengan Lembaga Penyelenggara Pemilu yang terlibat pada kasus tersebut. Dalam hasil analisis yang berbasis pada data pengawasan dari Panwaslu Kecamatan Bangil Kabupaten Pasuruan. penulis mengungkapkan bahwa penanganan pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh Panwaslu Kecamatan Bangil bersama Bawaslu Kabupaten Pasuruan telah sesuai dengan Perbawaslu Nomor 7 Tahun 2018Tentang Penanganan Temuan dan Laporan Pelanggaran Pemilihan Umum dan Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 Tentang Pemilihan Umum. Tetapi untuk proses pelaksanaan pemungutan suara masih belum sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan, karena petugas yang ada di TPS tidak dapat mengontrol dan mengkondisikan para pemilih yang tidak terdaftar pada DPT, DPTb atau DPK pada waktu hari pemungtan suara. Disamping itu Bawaslu dengan KPU akan melakukan sosialisasi dan bimbingan teknis kepada peserta pemilu dan para pemilih secara masif dan berkelanjutan, agar semuanya mendapat pemahaman yang sama tentang pemilihan umum.
Presidential Threshold Penentuan Calon Presiden dan Wakil Presiden Dalam Pemilihan Umum Berdasarkan Pasal 222 Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 Tentang Pemilihan Umum
Authors: Aziz Ahmad Yusril , Budiarti Dwi , Istijab Istijab
Published: August 2024

Presidential threshold merupakan ambang batas penentuan calon presiden dan wakil presiden yang diatur dalam Pasal 222 Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 Tentang Pemilihan Umum. Presidential threshold merupakan syarat yang harus dipenuhi oleh partai politik atau gabungan partai politik sebesar 20 persen kursi dari DPR atau 25 persen suara sah secara nasional. Aturan presidential threshold menjadi pro dan kontra karena aturan ini membatasi hak politik secara bebas mencalonkan atau memilih calon presiden. Kemudian koalisi yang dominan terhadap calon presiden tertentu sehingga memunculkan dua calon saja sehingga masyarakat tidak disajikan adanya calon alternatif. Presidential threshold menjadi pro kontra bagi partai politik karena besarnya persentase ambang batas presiden yang terlalu besar. Kemudian parpol yang belum berhasil lolos ambang batas parlemen pada pemilu yang lalu belum dapat mengusung kandidat presiden karena membutuhkan hasil suara legislatif. Parpol baru bergabung juga tidak memiliki kemampuan untuk mengusulkan kandidat presiden karena juga belum memiliki hasil suara legislatif untuk memenuhi besaran angka presidential threshold sehingga haknya sebagai partai politik mengikuti ajang pemilihan presiden terhambat aturan presidential threshold. Pada penelitian ini mengkaji peraturan perundang-undangan dalam hal ini adalah Pasal 222 Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017  Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 7 Tahun 2017. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengenai kedudukan presidential threshold dalam pemilihan umum Presiden dan Wakil Presiden di Indonesia berdasarkan Pasal 222 Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 dan mengenai dampak ditimbulkan dari presidential threshold dalam penentuan calon Presiden dan Wakil Presiden terhadap partai politik.

Patronage Media in Post-Communist Mongolia
Authors: Baasanjav Undrah , Nielsen Poul Eric , Myagmar Munkhmandakh
Published: August 2024

We provide a historically informed analysis of the media in post-communist Mongolia thirty years after the transition. In 1990, Mongolia chose a peaceful transition towards liberal democracy following the seventy years of the communist regime.  Our analysis first establishes that amid the challenges and changes since the new constitution was adopted, a plural and commercial media system has undeniably been established. However, only a few established themselves as independent media with editorial, business, and ethical norms.  While the plurality of media outlets created a media landscape aberrant from the socialist-time propagandistic media, the media market failures, along with rudimentary legal and professional institutions, contributed to the media instrumentalization and media capture in Mongolia.
Media Capture and Perspectives for Media Development in a Fragile Media System
Authors: Mack Johanna
Published: August 2024

Guinea­‑Bissau’s media have negotiated their roles and freedoms within the postcolonial national construct since its official independence from Portugal in 1974. While the current media landscape is relatively pluralistic, journalists experience constraints from various sides: political pressures, unaccommodating regulations, lack of resources. The concept of media capture (Mungiu­‑Pippidi & Ghinea, 2012; Mabweazara et al., 2020; Schiffrin, 2021) allows the analysis of complex, subtle and structural constraints limiting media’s ability to fulfil their roles. This paper traces the phenomenon on the macro level (context), meso level (organizations) and micro level (journalists) in Guinea­‑Bissau to interrogate how the concept plays out in a context shaped by fragility. The article draws on a literature review, official documents and semi-structured interviews. Following Dugmore’s (2022) idea of precarity as an endogenous condition in many Sub­‑Saharan contexts, this paper argues that capture is engrained in a fragile system rather than being an exception or disruption.
Artificial Intelligence: Stakes and Opportunities in Cameroon Public Administrative Governance
Authors: Fumbi Foryang Godfred , NGWA Peter , Xaverie Awono Mengada Gisèle
Published: August 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementation in public administration is gaining momentum, heralded by the hope of smart public services that are personalized, lean, and efficient. However, the use of AI in public administration is riddled with ethical tensions concerning fairness, transparency, privacy, and human rights. We refer to these as AI tensions. The current literature lacks a contextual and processual understanding of AI adoption and diffusion in public administration to explore such tensions. Previous studies have outlined risks, benefits, and challenges with the use of AI in public administration. However, a significant gap remains in understanding AI tensions as they relate to public value creation. Through a systematic literature review grounded in public value management and the resource-based view of the firm, we identify technology-organisational-environmental (TOE) contextual variables and absorptive capacity as factors influencing AI adoption. This paper outlines distinct AI tensions from an AI implementation and diffusion perspective within public administration. We develop a future research agenda for the full AI innovation lifecycle of adoption, implementation, and diffusion.

İNSANLIĞA KARŞI SUÇLAR VE SOYKIRIM SUÇUNUN GELİŞİMİ: NÜRNBERG ULUSLARARASI ASKERİ CEZA MAHKEMESİNİN FARKLI ETKİLERİ
Authors: Yıldırımkal Yener
Published: August 2024

İkinci Dünya Savaşı yılları, uluslararası suçların geniş ölçekte işlendiği bir dönem olmuştur. Henüz savaş devam ederken, Müttefik Devletler, Mihver Devletleri adına hareket ederek suç işleyen kişileri cezalandırma iradelerini açıklamış, savaşın sona ermesiyle birlikte bu yöndeki ortak irade hayata geçirilmiştir. Savaşta işlenen bazı suçlar, Müttefik Devletlerin ulusal askeri ceza mahkemelerinde kovuşturulmuş olmakla birlikte, ‘büyük savaş suçlusu’ kabul edilen kişilerin yargılanması için, biri Tokyo diğeri Nürnberg’de olmak üzere iki ayrı uluslararası ceza mahkemesi kurulmuştur. Avrupa Mihver Devletleri adına hareket eden kişileri yargılamak üzere kurulan Nürnberg Uluslararası Askeri Ceza Mahkemesi’nin statüsünde (m.6/c), insanlığa karşı suçlar tarihte ilk defa tanımlanmıştır. Statü, bu yönüyle uluslararası ceza hukukunun gelişiminde önemli bir adım teşkil etmektedir. Soykırım suçu bakımından ise durum farklıdır. Mahkeme’nin madde bakımından yetkisini düzenleyen Statü m. 6’da soykırım suçuna yer verilmediği gibi, hükümde de bu suçtan bahsedilmemiştir. İddianameye bakıldığında, soykırımın bağımsız bir suçlama olarak sanıklara yüklenmediği, işgal edilen bölgelerdeki sivil halka karşı işlenen bir savaş suçu olarak değerlendirildiği görülmektedir. Bu makalede, Londra Konferansı hazırlık çalışmalarından başlayarak, hükmün tefhimine kadar devam eden Nürnberg sürecinde, inceleme konusu suçların maddi ceza hukuku bakımından nasıl ele alındığı, bu ‘yeni’ suçlarla uluslararası örf ve adette yer alan ‘klasik’ savaş suçları arasındaki ilişkinin nasıl yorumlandığı açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.
LİBERAL NÖTRLÜK, FARKLILIKLAR VE HUKUK
Authors: Çağlar Gürgey Fatma İrem
Published: August 2024

1990’lı yıllarda liberalizm sosyalist sistemler karşısında başarı kazanmış gibi gözükse de aslında kendi içinde önemli bir meşruiyet kriziyle karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Zira liberalleşme ve küreselleşme bir toplumda yaşam tarzı çeşitliliğinin artmasına neden olurken, bu çeşitlilik içinde farklı iyi yaşam anlayışlarına sahip vatandaşların birlikte adil bir toplumda nasıl yaşayacakları sorusunun yeterince cevaplanmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Çağdaş liberal teori nötrlük ilkesi temelinde yeni cevaplar arayışı içerisine girmiştir. Nötrlük ilkesini benimseyen liberal devletler ve onların hukuk sistemleri uygulamalarıyla çeşitlilik ve kapsayıcılığı tartışmalarını somutlaştırmaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada liberal nötrlük ilkesini temel alan devlet ve liberal hukuk normları ve uygulamalarının farklılıklara ilişkin yaklaşımı ortaya konulacaktır. Ancak buna geçmeden önce temel kavramlar olan farklılık, çağdaş liberal teorideki nötrlük kavrayışları ele alınacaktır.
Using Göbeklitepe, the Zero Point of History, in Cultural Heritage Education
Authors: Yolaçan Mekiye , Aktın Kibar
Published: August 2024

Cultural heritage education plays a crucial role in sparking curiosity about historical cultural elements, preserving and evolving cultural traditions, strengthening national identity, and cultivating engaged citizens. In light of this, this study aims to determine the educational outcomes of incorporating Göbeklitepe, a historical site, into the cultural heritage education component of the fifth grade Social Studies course. In this research, the most common type of qualitative research, the basic interpretive research approach, was preferred. The study group, comprising 22 fifth-grade students from a middle school, was selected through the use of criterion sampling, case sampling, and purposeful sampling. The data collection tools employed in the study included clay studies, talking object worksheets, student diaries, a Göbeklitepe newspaper, and a self-assessment form. The data were subjected to content analysis and descriptive statistical analysis. The findings of the study indicated that engagement in cultural heritage activities enhanced students' comprehension of the historical development of Göbeklitepe. They acquired knowledge about the historical trajectory of the site and were able to contextualize this process within the broader historical context of Şanlıurfa. In accordance with the nature of history, it was determined that students realized the impossibility of acquiring exhaustive knowledge about Göbeklitepe. In their diaries, students proposed the implementation of further research, excavations, and the utilization of knowledgeable individuals to elucidate the enigma of Göbeklitepe's history. However, it was determined that students encountered challenges in applying the skills of perceiving change and continuity.
Women, Climate Change and Eco-theology
Authors: Philip Mary (Joy)
Published: August 2024

The impact of climate change is not proportionate to the ones that contribute to it. It is the world’s poorest and those in vulnerable situations, especially women and children, who bear the brunt of environmental, economic and social shocks. This paper highlights the fact that women are disproportionately affected by climate change, when they are primarily the ones that have been caring for and preserving the earth. This paper also argues for the need for eco-consciousness and the increased participation of women in climate initiatives, as women have a theology and spirituality undergirded by eco-consciousness.
Humanizar la educación tras la catástrofe en el sur de Brasil: reflexiones desde el Pacto Educativo Mundial y la Encíclica Laudato Si
Authors: Jung Hildegard Susana , Almeida Patricia Rodrigues
Published: August 2024

The southern region of Brazil is experiencing a climate catastrophe caused by floods, which have affected many schools, leading to the interruption of in-person classes in several municipalities. Due to this interruption, the importance of reevaluating pedagogical practices for returning to school in Basic Education grows, especially in the public sphere, aiming at a humanized education. This article seeks to reflect on the contributions of the Global Educational Pact and the Encyclical Laudato Si to the development of a new educational paradigm after the climate catastrophe of the floods, upon returning to school in Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil. The study carried out is qualitative in nature, developed through documentary and bibliographic consultations. The relevance of seeking new educational paradigms based on a humanizing approach aimed at preserving life and ecosystems, willing to solve complex problems and responding to contemporary innovations, is evident. It is concluded that the Global Educational Pact and the Encyclical Laudato Si are powerful documents that can contribute to the promotion of ideas for a more humanized education, aimed at new generations and the preservation of life in our Common Home.

Factors limiting contrail detection in satellite imagery
Authors: Driver Oliver G. A. , Stettler Marc E. J. , Gryspeerdt Edward
Published: August 2024

Abstract. Contrails (clouds produced by aircraft exhaust) have a significant warming contribution to the overall climate impact of aviation. This makes reducing them a key target for future climate strategies in the sector. Identifying pathways for contrail reduction requires accurate models of contrail formation and lifecycle, which in turn need suitable observations to constrain them. Infrared imagers on geostationary satellites provide widespread, time-resolved observations of the evolution of contrail properties. However, contrails are often narrow and optically thin, which makes them challenging for satellites to identify. Quantifying the impact of contrail properties on observability is essential to determine the extent to which satellite observations can be used to constrain contrail models and to assess the climate impact of aviation. In this work, contrail observability is tested by applying a simple contrail detection algorithm to synthetic images of contrails in an otherwise-clear sky against a homogeneous ocean background. Only (46 ± 2) % of a modelled population of global contrail segments are found to be observable using current 2 km resolution instruments, even in this maximally-observable case. A significantly higher portion of contrail forcing is detectable using the same imager—(82 ± 2) % of instantaneous longwave forcing—because observable contrails have a larger climate impact. This detection efficiency could be partly improved by using a higher-resolution infrared imager, which would also allow contrails to be detected earlier in their lifecycle. However, even this instrument would still miss the large fraction of contrails that are too optically thin to be detected. These results support the use of contrail detection and lifetime observations from existing satellite imagers to draw conclusions about the relative radiative importance of different contrails under near-ideal conditions. However, there is a highlighted need to assess the observability of specific contrails depending on the observation requirements of a given application. These observability factors are shown to change in response to climate action, demonstrating a need to consider the properties of the observing system when assessing the impacts of proposed mitigation strategies.
Short high-accuracy tritium data time series for assessing groundwater mean transit times in the vadose and saturated zones of the Luxembourg Sandstone aquifer
Authors: Gourdol Laurent , Stewart Michael K. , Morgenstern Uwe , Pfister Laurent
Published: August 2024

Abstract. Among the manifold of environmental tracers at hand, tritium is the only one that can give information on groundwater age within the timescale of 100 years for the entire flow system, i.e., unsaturated and saturated. However, while in the Southern Hemisphere, a single water sample is sufficient for tritium-based young groundwater dating, several tritium measurements spanning multiple years are still needed in the Northern Hemisphere to disentangle the natural cosmogenic tritium input from that caused by the atmospheric thermonuclear weapons tests mainly carried out in the early 1960s. Although it is advised to focus tritium dating on sites where long chronicles of tritium data are available, in this study we tested the potential for short high-accuracy tritium data series (∼4 years) to date groundwater from 35 springs draining the Luxembourg Sandstone aquifer (central western Europe). We determined groundwater mean transit times using the lumped-parameter model approach in a Monte Carlo uncertainty estimation framework to provide uncertainty ranges inherent to the low number of tritium data at hand and their related analytical errors. Our results show that unambiguous groundwater mean transit time assessments cannot be determined solely based on such recent short tritium time series, given that several ranges of mean transit times appeared theoretically possible. Nonetheless we succeeded in discriminating groundwater mean transit times in the vadose and saturated zones of the aquifer through a stepwise decision process guided with several supplementary data. The mean transit time required for water to cross the vadose zone was estimated to be between 0.5±0.5 and 8.1±1.2 years depending on the spring, while for water to flow through the saturated zone, it varied from 5.7±2.4 to 18.9±4.6 years (median ± half of the 5–95 percentile range). Our findings are consistent with both the tritium measurements of individual springs and the hydrogeological context of the study area. We specifically corroborated the dating results using the known hydrogeological properties of the Luxembourg Sandstone aquifer, the hydrochemistry of the studied springs, and their discharge dynamics. When translated into water velocities (which average ∼12 and ∼170 m yr−1 for the vadose and the saturated zones, respectively), the tritium dating results mirrored the horizontal–vertical anisotropy of the aquifer's hydraulic properties caused by the bedded character of the Luxembourg Sandstone. In addition to improving our understanding of water transit times in the Luxembourg Sandstone aquifer, this study demonstrates how it is currently possible to use short tritium time series to date young groundwater bodies at new sites in central Europe.
Measurement of the turning behaviour of tethered membrane wings using automated flight manoeuvres
Authors: Elfert Christoph , Göhlich Dietmar , Schmehl Roland
Published: August 2024

Abstract. Flexible membrane wings for kite sports, paragliding and airborne wind energy are highly manoeuvrable aerodynamic devices. The manoeuvrability can be quantified by the achievable turning rate of the wing and the dead time between the steering input and the actual flight-dynamic response. In this paper, we present an onboard sensor system for measuring the position and orientation of a tethered membrane wing and complement this with an attached low-cost multi-hole probe for measuring the relative flow velocity vector at the wing. To ensure well-defined flow conditions and high quality of the measurement data, the wings selected for testing were towed by a vehicle with constant speed along a straight track during periods of low ambient wind speeds. A flight control algorithm was adapted from literature to execute automated, repeatable figure-of-eight flight manoeuvres and measure the steering gain and the dead time as functions of the steering input. The experimental study confirms the turning behaviour known from kite sports and airborne wind energy applications and provides reproducible quantitative data to develop and validate simulation models for flexible, tethered membrane wings.
Equity in Action in Community College Leadership
Authors: Leung Neue Y.
Published: August 2024

Equity in action starts with a leader’s critical consciousness in relation to their identities, ideologies, and positionalities. In this essay, the following factors: ideologies, identities, and positionalities are explained and emphasized as they are essential factors that impact equity work. Leaders who center equity must explore their own critical consciousness through an equity lens so that they prioritize equity at the forefront while leading, collaborating, and making decisions in their leadership positions. The positionality of leaders is also critical on how they use their power to influence their community and amplify the voices of the underrepresented. One subset of the findings, Equity in Action, from my dissertation, Asian American Community College Presidents: The Power of Identities, Ideologies, and Positionalities is included in this essay. To set the foundation of the dissertation, the SEL framework, also known as the shared equity leadership framework (Kezar et al., 2021) is used to analyze how leaders build their own capacity in equity work. In addition, my positionality and development as an equity leader are reflected in this essay.
Centering Equity in Teacher Education Research Through Pláticas Con Maestras
Authors: Jiménez-Silva Margarita , Luna Lopez Marissa
Published: August 2024

The Capital Area North Doctorate in Educational Leadership (CANDEL) program is committed to educational equity and supports, amongst others, K-12 schoolteachers, administrators, and teacher educators who are committed to bridging the worlds of theory and practice. As teacher educators, we advocate for those in doctoral programs to consider pláticas as a methodology that positions researchers and educators as equal collaborators, each with a wealth of experience to share. The historical roots as well as the five principles of plática methodology (Fierros & Delgado Bernal, 2016) are considered. We discuss our positionality as Latinas and first-generation college graduates, as researchers and as platicadoras engaged in teacher education research. Furthermore, we provide examples of how each has used pláticas methodology to understand the experiences of teachers. We conclude by providing advice for doctoral students interested in using pláticas in their own research.

Mapping and Analysis of the Sorghum Value Chain in Tehuledere District, Amhara Region, Ethiopia
Authors: Teferi Wondale Habtamu
Published: August 2024

This study describes sorghum-cultivating households and assesses factors affecting different activities of the sorghum value chain in the Tehuledere district of the Amhara region, Ethiopia. Primary data were obtained by administering structured questionnaires and interviews to 297 respondents across the value chain from smallholder farmers, agro-dealers, traders, retailers, wholesalers, and processors. In this context, the study was able to map the value chain to establish the main actors involved and their relationships. The current value chain has Input Suppliers, Producers/Farmers, Wholesalers/Distributors, Transporters, Processors, and Consumers. Some issues were identified as input supply with some inefficiency and marketing and processing channels as supply was interrupted and producer prices were low. This implies increasing interactions with extension agents to enhance the use of better sorghum seed varieties and fertilizers. The proposed solutions are the cooperation of different actors, higher levels of investment in R&D, better extension services, private sector engagement, encouraging legislation, and infrastructure development to overcome institutional weaknesses.

Economic growth and financial development are fueled by foreign direct investment. It is curial for emerging markets and developing economies. The relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and financial development (FD) in Pakistan between 2001 and 2020 is empirically surveyed in this study. We have taken the Financial development (domestic credit to private sector % of GDP) as our dependent variable while FDI, (net inflows % of GDP), trade openness (TO), population growth (PG) and inflation (INF) as our independent variables. We extracted our all data of our variables from World Bank (WDI).  Augmented Ducky fuller (ADF) and Philips Peron (PP) has been used to check the stationarity of data before using ARDL. Furthermore; we have applied Long Run Bound Test in order to know the long run relation. The findings indicate that foreign direct investment (FDI) and population growth (PG) have positively impact on financial development (FD). Additionally, the study finds that, in the case of Pakistan, trade openness (TO) is insignificant to financial development whereas inflation (INF) have a negatively significant. We applied Cusum and Cusum square test for model stability. The results of stability test show that our model is stable as are plots are within the critical bound. The study will help to design such policy that will attain specific goals to enhance foreign direct investment and financial development. It is anticipated that the findings would provide empirical insights and practical consequences for scholars and policy makers.

Limnic mollusks could negatively affect the ecosystem in which they are found, the economy, human and animals´ health. This study reports on a survey of freshwater sources mollusks and their spatial distribution, as well as investigating them for the presence of trematodes in the municipality of Nossa Senhora de Lourdes, Sergipe, Brazil. This study was performed through March 2016 and November 2017. The mollusks were collected in different water bodies in the georeferenced studied area, identified and analyzed for the presence of trematodes. Thirty-four water bodies were sampled, and mollusks were found in 18 (53%) of them. From the 5,196 found, 4,747 (91%) were gastropods and 449 (9%) bivalves - distributed in seven families and eleven species. Among the species found, two are of medical-veterinary importance (Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata) and four are exotic invasive species (Corbicula fluminea, C. largillierti, Limnoperna fortunei and M. tuberculate). Of the 1,473 mollusks analyzed for trematodes, five (0.33%) gastropods were infected, one specimen contained Vivax, two Pleurolophocercous, and two Virgulate. For the first time these six taxa have been described in the State of Sergipe: Drepanotrema depressissimum, D. cimex, D. lucidum, Ancylidae, Physa acuta and C. largillierti. This survey contributes to the knowledge of the biodiversity and spatial distribution of limnic mollusks and the presence of trematodes, in addition to serving to support the monitoring and prevention of exotic bio invasive species, and intermediate hosts, since the studied area presented potential for helminth transmission.
KEY WORDS: Snails; trematodes freshwater sources; spatial distribution; exotic and invasive mollusks; Sergipe State.

Epidemiología y recomendaciones sobre la vacuna contra el virus del papiloma humano (VPH)
Authors: Vázquez Hebe , Montes Jorge Luis , Panunzio María Eugenia , Ivalo Silvina
Published: August 2024

Los virus del papiloma humano (VPH) son una de las causas más frecuentes de infecciones de transmisión sexual en el mundo. Originan una amplia gama de enfermedades tanto en hombres como en mujeres, e incluyen lesiones premalignas que pueden progresar a cáncer. A pesar de que la mayoría de las infecciones por VPH no desarrollan síntomas y se resuelven espontáneamente, la persistencia de las mismas puede provocar enfermedad. En las mujeres, la infección persistente por genotipos de VPH de alto riesgo oncogénico es la causa principal del cáncer cervical y de sus precursores. También se la asocia con el desarrollo de cánceres orofaríngeos y anogenitales en ambos sexos (1).
El reconocimiento de los VPH de alto riesgo oncogénicos como causantes del cáncer cervical ha promovido el desarrollo de vacunas preventivas (prevención primaria), que junto con el tamizaje para la detección temprana y el tratamiento oportuno de lesiones (prevención secun- daria) permitirán reducir significativamente la incidencia del cáncer cérvico-uterino (CCU) en la Argentina en las próximas décadas. También permitirán reducir la carga de otras enferme- dades asociadas a los VPH genitales (otros cánceres y verrugas genitales) tanto en hombres como en mujeres.
