Authors: Nwachukwu C. F. , Nwachukwu A. U.
Published: December 2022

COVID-19 is an efficient super spreading disease with numerical superiority among past pandemics. Vaccination, medication, drug repurposing are the pharmaceutical measures currently in use in combating the spread of COVID-19. However, the populace is skeptical about their use. The study objective was testing the acceptability of non-pharmaceutical measures in containing the spread. The phase-1 of the study is sourced from secondary data using appropriate keywords on six electronic databases, including ‘effective non-pharmaceutical intervention strategic’, ‘symptoms of COVID-19’, and ‘COVID-19 mode of transmissions’. The phase-2 is a Questionnaire from the phase-1 outcome which was administered to 2000 people in the Abuja metropolis. Phase-1 showed that the non-pharmaceutical measures for combating COVID-19 disease were handwashing, facemask, personal hygiene, restricted mass gathering, workplace closures, contact tracing, travel restrictions, quarantine, alcohol hand-based sanitizers, physical distancing, and nutritional intervention. Phase-2 results on the acceptability of non-pharmaceutical measures by 2000 people were; handwashing (24%), facemask (5%), personal hygiene (18%), workplace closures (4%), contact tracing (6%), travel restrictions (9%), quarantine (8%), alcohol hand-based sanitizers (10%), physical distancing (5%), and nutritional intervention (11%). Workplace closures have the lowest acceptability. In conclusion, the lowest value of workplace closure is hinged on the family economy.

Cetirizine Hydrochloride is a non-drowsy second-generation antihistamine and a derivative of piperazine with a half-life of eleven hours. It is used to relieve allergy symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, rhinitis, urticaria and watery eyes. It is a key adjuvant therapy in management of some covid-19 related symptoms. To assess the quality of five brands of Cetirizine hydrochloride 10mg tablets marketed in Abuja. The weight variation, friability, hardness, disintegration, dissolution tests and HPLC assay were evaluated using USP methods. The hardness and friability of the samples ranged from 2.03kgF to 7.54KgF and 0.00 to 0.90% respectively. The disintegration time were within 5mins, for dissolution, 80.0 to 103.3% of the API in the samples were released within 30mins, the assay ranged from 93.1 to 101.6%. The cetirizine tablets conformed with quality standards.

Published: December 2022

A knowledge of the chemical content of Rhinoceros (Rhino) oil and its activity on selected biomolecules of experimental models would help boost the immune system against an immunocompromised COVID-19 status. The study seeks to evaluate the chemical and biomolecular profile of Rhino oil. Chemical profile was done using standard methods of analysis. 25 rats were assigned in five groups (A-E) (n=5). Animals in group A (control) were administered 0.5 ml of distilled water while those in groups B-E which were immunocompromised (by intraperitoneal administration of 5 mg/kg body weight (b.w) of lead [Pb]) were also administered distilled water, immunomodulatory drug (5 mg/kg body weight of zinc [Zn]), 2 and 5 mg/kg b.w of Rhino oil extract respectively, once daily for 8 days followed by biomolecular assay. Proximate analysis gave moisture content (14.37±0.29), among others. FAMEs analysis showed hexadecanoic acid (12.80%) and other esters. Lipid profile of the oil gave LDLC to contain (32.90±0.53 mg/L), and others. The physicochemical properties gave iodine value as (115.80±0.40 mg/g), among others. The metal composition revealed Zn (0.28±0.06) plus others. The amnio acid profile of the oil gave ten essential amino acids and non-essential amino acids respectively. The levels of biomolecules in serum of the animals were altered at specific doses of the oil extract. Altogether, the chemical content of the oil was significantly high, with altered biomolecular effect. The rich content of vital nutrients and chemicals of Rhino oil may boost the white blood cells against COVID-19. The isolation and characterization of the active principles of the oil is encouraged.

Influx of substandard drugs as reported by the drug regulatory agency in Nigeria has necessitated the need to assess the quality of frequently used drugs of which metronidazole infusion is not exempted. Metronidazole infusion is mostly prescribed for pre and post-operative surgery to prevent infections from developing. This study was carried out to assess the quality of six commercial brands of metronidazole infusions sold in Abuja, Nigeria. Six brands of metronidazole infusions were randomly purchased from some Pharmacy stores in Abuja for chemical and microbiological assays. Five (83.3%) of the samples had percentage contents ranging from 95-110% which is within BP specification. The pH values of the whole samples were within BP specification of 4.5 to 6.0 which range from 4.9 to 5.8. The result of the microbiological analysis indicated zero colony forming unit (cfu) from all the samples, this is in conformity with official specification for parenteral formulations. Similarly, all the brands passed pyrogen test. Based on the percentage content result, five brands of the samples analyzed have been found to be fit for human use while one failed.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic came along with a lot of challenges including the absence of precautionary measures towards the prevention of the disease observed in market places around FCT. Also, herbal medicine practitioners became first point of call by locals even in advent of the disease. The perception regarding COVID-19 among herbal medicine sellers in different parts of the F.C.T was studied. A cross-sectional study using semi-structured questionnaire; descriptive and inferential statistics was done. Association between variables using chi square test (x2) and logistic regression analysis was done (p-value ≤0.05). Respondents (87%) were aware of COVID-19. 41% thought the pandemic was an inflated event strengthened by symptoms of seasonal diseases. Respondents (70%) had no herbal drugs to manage COVID-19, 30% had herbs to manage the disease while 41% stated an increase in sales of herbs used to manage symptoms. Precautions were taken by 72% while 44% and 26% practiced handwashing and social distancing respectively. The contribution of wrong belief towards COVID-19 risk precaution measures has been reported. A significant relationship (x2 = 9.7) was observed between awareness of COVID-19 and the belief that it existed (p˂0.05). There is need to educate the people, especially the herb-sellers on COVID-19 and to also integrate them into public health related programs as they may be the only alternative to locals in advent of disease.
Computational prediction of pharmacokinetic parameters as an in vitro approach for assessing paracetamol tablets for IVIVC; a strategy in COVID-19 disruptive times.
Authors: Ajeh Isaac J. , Hayatu Galadima I. , Ezekiel Ekeh I.
Published: December 2022

In vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) is a desirable attribute for any drug dissolution test to establish relevance and confidence in evaluating the quality and safety of products. The pharmacokinetic parameters of paracetamol have been studied extensively but information about the IVIVC is scanty and mostly controversial; this justifies its choice as a model drug for this study. This work is aimed to evaluate and compare the IVIVC dissolution profile of different brands of paracetamol tablets using authentic pharmacokinetic parameters such as; maximum observed dug concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax) and Area under Curve concentration-time curve (AUC) obtained from literature. In vitro release data were obtained for each brand (n=12) using the USP II apparatus at 50 rpm in 900 ml phosphate buffer of pH 5.8, maintained at 37±0.5 °C and the results were mathematically extrapolated to predict in vivo data. The percent predicted error (% PE) for Cmax ranges from 1.70 to 6.52 % across the brands, while those for Tmax and AUC were < 0 % and > 20 % respectively. The observed low prediction error for Cmax and Tmax (<10 %) demonstrated that the paracetamol IVIVC model was valid based on FDA guidelines. While a satisfactory result could not be achieved for AUC, promising results were obtained exploiting the convolution based IVIVC model.
Common plant foods in Northern Nigeria with immuno-stimulatory properties that could mitigate the effect of COVID-19: a review.
Authors: Daburi Aisha Dauda , John-Africa Lucy Binda
Published: December 2022

Plants taken as food provide the body with nutrients that strengthen the immune system. The immune system recognizes, tolerates, and resists infections or toxins by activating specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells. COVID-19 is a severe acute respiratory disorder that is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. It has been reported that innate immunity plays a role in mitigating the severity of the disease, thus strengthening the immune system is paramount to resisting the infection. This study aimed to identify and document foods commonly consumed in Northern Nigeria that are claimed to possess immune-stimulatory effects. Literature of plants that are commonly used as food was studied. Data was collected from literature searches of the PubMed, PubChem, and Google Scholar databases using keywords that include immunity, immune-stimulatory, phytochemicals, and micronutrients. Thirty commonly consumed plants belonging to eighteen families were selected based on how widely used they are in the region. They are reported to contain immune-boosting phytonutrients such as carotenoids, flavonoids, and micronutrients such as Vitamin C and Zinc, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The study showed that the plants that are commonly consumed in Northern Nigeria contained phytochemicals and micronutrients, which are necessary for boosting immunity and thus could be the reason for the low COVID-19morbidity experienced in the region.
Życie w więcej niż ludzkiej katastrofie. Antropocen, wspinaczka skałkowa i Walter Benjamin
Authors: Sadowska Monika
Published: December 2022

This article is an attempt to develop a posthumanist messianic figure additional to those created by Walter Benjamin in 20th century. The task of those figures is to provide a way of living in the times of crisis. I argue that the era that we live in –the anthropocene (with all of its catastrophes) –requires a posthumanist update to Benjamin’s philosophy. Therefore I use the case study of rock climbers as a collective subject that dismantles the dominant language of historical politics by creating names of climbing routes based on a mockery. The process of disassembling the language reveals the materiality of the rock and allows its history to be recovered. My attempt is based on the analysis of the El Pułkownik wall in the Liban quarry (Cracow, Poland).
Ekozofie Guattariego
Authors: Ubertowska Aleksandra
Published: December 2022

The article is a meta-theoretical study devoted to the ecosophical project of Félix Guattari developed in his two books The Three Ecologies i Chaosmosis: An Ethico-Aesthetic Paradigm. According to Aleksandra Ubertowska, the core aim of Guattari’s work is rethinking of the issue of subject which he regards as a process of the non-anthropocentric subjectivisation. Ubertowska devotes particular attention to the notion of transversality, intersection of many processes, social and environmental axes which in Guattari’s work should determine the ecosophical approach. In the late part of the article Ubertowska elaborates on the concept of chaosmosis which Guattari compared to the language of madness, and defines as oscillation between excess of meanings and vacuum of signs.
Zmiana zawodu lub formy jego wykonywania z perspektywy etyki zawodowej radców prawnych
Authors: Ciupa Sławomir W.
Published: December 2022

Artykuł porusza zagadnienia związane z mobilnością zawodową radcy prawnego w świetle Kodeksu Etyki Radcy Prawnego. Autor omawia zmianę zawodu lub formy jego wykonywania w aspekcie przejścia z sektora publicznego do prywatnego, z sektora prywatnego do publicznego i w ramach sektora prywatnego. Porusza również zmianę formy wykonywania zawodu lub zmiany podmiotu, w którym zawód jest wykonywany. Zjawiska te, choć w części unormowane prawnie, umykają regulacji etycznej. Kodeks obejmuje je tylko w wąskim zakresie (tajemnica zawodowa i konflikt interesów). Czy można to oraz pośrednie zastosowanie kilku innych zasad etyki zawodowej (niezależność, godność zawodu, lojalność i zaufanie) uznać za odpowiednie? Autor analizuje, czy zastosowanie powyższych zasad etyki jest wystarczające z punktu widzenia zabezpieczenia przed nieetycznym korzystaniem z relacji lub sieci kontaktów z zawodowej przeszłości, a także unikania z tym związanego ograniczenia niezależności, konfliktów interesów, naruszenia tajemnicy zawodowej lub lojalności.

Change of the profession or form of its practice from the perspective of the professional ethics of attorneys-at-law

The article discusses issues related to the professional mobility of attorneys-at-law in light of the Code of Ethics of Attorneys-at-Law. The author discusses changes in the profession or form of its practicing in terms of movement between the public and private sectors as well as within the private sector itself. The article also addresses the issue of changing the form of practicing the profession or the entity where the profession is practiced. These phenomena, though partially regulated by law, escape ethical regulation; the Code covers them only to a narrow extent (professional secrecy and conflict of interest). The question is, therefore, whether this and the indirect application of several other principles of professional ethics (independence, dignity of the profession, loyalty, and trust) can be considered appropriate. The author analyzes if the application of the above ethical principles is sufficient in terms of safeguarding against the unethical use of relationships or networks from the professional past as well as avoiding the related reduction in independence, conflicts of interest, breach of professional secrecy, or loyalty.
Estruturação e atuação do Núcleo de Estudos Sismológicos da Unimontes em Minas Gerais
Authors: Freitas Ferreira Maykon Fredson , Leite Manoel Reinaldo
Published: December 2022

Minas Gerais é um Estado importante no Brasil quando se trata de ocorrências sísmicas. Nos últimos anos ocorreram grandes tremores de terra neste Estado, principalmente na sua região Norte. É possível citar, como exemplo, os tremores ocorridos em Itacarambi com magnitude 4,9 e em Montes Claros com magnitude 4,2. A maioria dos sismos dessa região estão concentrados em zonas sísmicas ao longo de estruturas geológicas chamadas de falhas, presentes no embasamento cristalino, abaixo das coberturas sedimentares. O conhecimento dessas falhas geológicas ocorreu mediante a instalação de estações sismográficas locais e a observação e análise das ondas sísmicas geradas pelos próprios tremores. Para sustentar as pesquisas relacionadas aos sismos e estruturas geológicas, foi criado no ano 2014, o Núcleo de Sismologia da Unimontes, que, desde então, vem desempenhando um forte trabalho de monitoramento sísmico, não somente na região Norte, mas em todo o Estado de Minas Gerais. Neste contexto, buscou-se reportar a estruturação do Núcleo de Sismologia da Unimontes no Estado, bem como, sua atuação em trabalho de monitoramento sísmico e desenvolvimento de pesquisa. O que se espera é que o Núcleo de Estudos Sismológicos da Unimontes se aperfeiçoe ainda mais quanto aos critérios de monitoramento e pesquisa da sismicidade e se torne uma grande referência em todo o espaço nacional.

DEFEKTI PRETPOSTAVKE NEVINOSTI
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Pavlović Marko
Published: December 2022

The article starts with a terminological construction error. The Creator of the presumption of innocence came to the definition of this institute by replacing the word good with the word innocent in the papal expression that „at first glance, everyone is presumed good, until proven to the contrary“. The construction error is made from the standpoint of anthropological optimism, which is itself a one-sided philosophical approach. The article analyzes the institutes that are considered as elements of the presumption of innocence: the burden of proof, the „ten-to-one rule“ („the numerical expression of the presumption of innocence“), the right of the accused to remain silent. In the article is also analyzed coercive measures that ribut the presumption of innocence, including detention and the ban on practicing a profession from Art. 132a of the German CPC. The author concludes that the presumption of innocence is an institute without its procedural content, that it has absorbed institutes that existed before it with a kind of imperialism, that it may be harmful to judicial justice, and that therefore the institute of the presumption of innocence should be abandoned. The institutions „actori in cumbit probatio“, „in dubio pro reo“ and „proved beyond reasonable doubt“, as well as the already existing responsibility of officials, victims and the public for illegal actions, are sufficient guarantees for a fair trial.

In the paper, the author provides a historical-legal and comparative-legal overview of the origin, development and reception of the punishment of police surveillance in French, Prussian and nineteenth-century Serbian criminal law. Police surveillance was created in France as a potential solution to the problem of resocialization of ex-prisoners. With the same aim, it was taken over by the Prussian Criminal Code, and through the Prussian, by the Penal Code of the Principality of Serbia. Although this is an example of criminal-legal reception, in each of these three legal systems, police supervision had its own peculiarities that were not present in the other legal systems. The Serbian legislator has gone the farthest in innovating this punishment.

The Protector of Citizens is one of the most important institutions in the field of protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. Specific in its legal nature, as an independent body, the Protector of Citizens or Ombudsman, in addition to providing protection to citizens in the exercise of their rights, also exerts a significant influence on the work of administrative organizations. Namely, his tasks include the control of the work of state administration organizations, as well as those non-state entities entrusted with public powers. In addition to the Protector of Citizens at the state level, the Law on Local Self-Government also enables local self-government units to establish local ombudsmen. This special type of ombudsman performs the same tasks as the Protector of Citizens, but is primarily focused on violations of regulations and general acts of the local self-government unit. Bearing in mind the importance of local self-government for the normal development of social flows and the need to protect human rights and interests at the local level, this paper will be devoted to the position, role and duties of the local ombudsman. In addition, the analysis will include the recent practice of this institution.
POLOŽAJ NARODNE SKUPŠTINE SRBIJE I EVROPSKOG PARLAMENTA
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Rapajić Milan
Published: December 2022

A comparison of the position of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia and the European Parliament should serve to better understand two trends that have a lot of parallels - the integration of the European Union and (for now) the rapprochement of the Republic of Serbia with the European Union. These are two legislative bodies that, in addition to some similarities, have numerous differences. While the European Parliament is part of the legislation of the European Union, the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia has full legislative powers. The difference lies in the fact that the National Assembly represents the authority of the state and the European Parliament is an institution of the political and economic community, which is not yet a state. If the process of transferring sovereignty from the member states to the European Union continues, it can be assumed that the differences between the European Parliament and the National Assembly (or the legislative body of another state) will decrease. Such a process would have an impact on increasing the power of the European Parliament.

Interns are persons without appropriate work experience, which would enable them to independently perform tasks at a specific workplace. In order to perform their duties completely independently, it is necessary for them to complete an internship under the supervision of their more experienced colleague, i.e. mentor, who should train them for independent work in the profession during the internship. The Labour Law does not define the position of interns in too much detail, while the situation is different in the public sector. In the public sector, the position of interns is regulated by special legal and by-laws as well as special collective agreements. People who are engaged as interns on the basis of a work contract outside of employment appear more and more often as interns. Formally, they are not apprentices, but in fact they are.

Introduction: Violence against women during pregnancy is recognized as a violation of human rights and reproductive rights, and a serious public health problem. Its prevalence is variable and has a multifactorial cause, requiring permanent monitoring. Method: Cross-sectional study conducted at the Hospital of Mandaqui, São Paulo, Brazil. The Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS) was applied to 350 puerperium women, with the outcome of suffering or not physical violence during pregnancy, between September and December 2021. Sociodemographic and reproductive data were considered. We used urn technique, with data were pre-coded, and EpiInfo® analysis by Pearson chi-square and Mann Whitney, adopting p<0.05 and 95% CI value. Research approved by the Research Ethics Committee, CAAE no. 50580421.5.0000.5551. Results: We found 13 cases of physical violence (3.7%) and sample loss of 18.9%. Women with physical violence during pregnancy showed lower mean age (27.7±8.24 x 37.3±6.28); less work (15.4% x 45.1%. p=0.034, OR/CI 0.98:0.98-20.70); less income (84.6% x 51.1%. p=0.017, OR/CI 0.18:0.04-0.86); higher occurrence of prematurity (30.8% x 9.5%. p=0.001, OR/CI 0.18: 0.05-0.59); and higher tobacco/alcohol use (38.5% x 10.4%. p=0.013, OR/CI 0.23:0.06-0.80). We found higher reports of violence before the age of 15 (53.8% x 18.7%. p<0.001, OR/CI 0.19: 0.06-0.60); physical violence in the last 12 months (84.6% x 1.8%. p<0.001); with a history of physical or emotional violence by the partner (76.9% x 29.4%. p<0.001, OR/CI 0.12:0.03-0.46); and fear of the intimate partner (46.2% x 2.4%. p<0.001, OR/CI 0.02:0.00-0.10). There was no difference for low schooling, race/color, union, pregnancy planning and high-risk pregnancy. Conclusion: The prevalence of physical violence during pregnancy was lower than in other studies in Brazil and other countries. The results suggest that gender violence is present throughout the life of women who suffer physical violence during pregnancy, reflecting in unfavorable reproductive outcomes. The high history of violence and fear of the partner may have contributed to eventual understatement.
Evaluation of the RegCM regional model driven by CFSv2 in intra-seasonal forecasts for the Alcântara Launch Center
Authors: Oliveira Luiz Gustavo de , Correa Cleber Souza
Published: December 2022

Meteorological forecasts with a predictability window greater than 15 days, characterize the intra-seasonal forecast, which requires initial state conditions of the atmosphere and slower variability related to the temperature of the sea surface. Driving regional models by global models, it is possible to generate intra-seasonal forecasts. For the following study, we used the “regional climate model” (RegCM) nested in the global climate model “Climate Prediction System” (CFSv2) to predict temperature and the wind magnitude at 10 meters. For South America, 10 projections were made for the months of April and September. The dexterity of the model was attested by comparing it with the data from the ERA5 reanalysis model. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the model in describing the main atmospheric characteristics in force in South America, for operational purposes of the Alcântara Launch Center (CLA) in Maranhão. The evaluated scenarios were promising, where the temperature and wind intensity data showed low anomaly values for almost the entire continent. Generally, the model can prescribe well the conditions of circulation near the surface, being of great importance for the planning of launches of space vehicles.

Introduction : Tooth mobility is one of the symptoms of periodontal disease which is characterized by loss of attachment and vertical bone damage. One method to overcome this is by splinting. The development of dental materials science has resulted in an innovative splinting technique using a thin band of material, easily bonded, consisting of a series of criss-crossed strands of thin polyethylene fibers. Fiber in the oral cavity will interact with saliva and microorganisms, especially Streptococcus mutans. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding polyethylene fiber to flowable composite resin as a splinting material on the attachment of Streptococcus mutans. Materials and Methods: This research method was an experimental laboratory using a post-test only control group design. Samples in the form of blocks with a size of 5x4x2 mm were immersed in artificial saliva for 1 hour then soaked in liquid medium containing Streptococcus mutans and incubated for 2x24 hours, diluted to 100 or dilution of 10-2 then 0.1 mL of liquid medium put into TYC agar media in petridishes and incubated at 37oC for 48 hours anaerobically. Results and Discussion: Statistical tests showed that the addition of polyethylene fiber to the flow composite resin splinting material increased the attachment of Streptococcus mutans bacteria . The results of the Saphiro-Wilk test showed that the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria in each group was normally distributed (p>0.05). Lavene's test results obtained a statistical levene value of 0.695 with a significance value of 0.410 > 0.05, this proves that the data used is homogeneous. In the One Way Anova test, it can be seen that the sig value is 0.000 (p<0.05). From the results of the analysis with LSD shows there is a significant difference in treatment between variables. Conclusion: From the results of the study, there is an influence of the addition of polyethylene fiber to flowable composite resins as a splinting material on increasing the attachment of Streptococcus mutans.

Informed Consent as a legal implication of the general agreement regulated in Article 1320 BW is the embodiment of a therapeutic agreement which is included in the law of engagement, specifically a legal relationship between a number of legal subjects who bind themselves to do or not do something to another party. Therapeutic agreement is an agreement formed because of the legal relationship between doctor and patient. Legal relationship is the relationship between legal subjects or between legal subjects and legal objects, which are regulated by law. The conditions for the occurrence of a legal relationship are the existence of a legal basis, namely the legal regulations governing the relationship and the existence of legal events, namely events that have consequences regulated by law. Before giving medical treatment to the patient, based on Law no. 36 of 2009 concerning Health, Law no. 29 of 2004 concerning Medical Practice and Menistry of Health No. 585/Menkes/Per/IX/1989 concerning Approval of Medical Action which was later changed to Menistry of Health No. 290/Menkes/Per/III/2008 Regarding Medical Action Approval, doctors must obtain informed consent from their patients for medical treatment, since without that doctors can be legally blamed for their actions. This paper was made to know and understand that the informed consent is a form of therapeutic agreement in the effort of health services.

Published: December 2022

Bu çalışma, 1960-2020 dönemi için Türkiye’de kamu harcamaları ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki doğrusal ve doğrusal olmayan ilişkiyi kısa ve uzun dönem dinamikleri bağlamında sınamaktadır. Bu amaçla çalışma, kamu harcamaları oranındaki değişmelerin kişi başına GSYH büyüme oranını kısa ve uzun dönemde doğrusal ve doğrusal olmayan bir şekilde etkileyip etkilemediğini ve varsa bu etkilerin Türkiye ekonomisinin genişleme ve daralma dönemlerinde asimetrik bir karakter sergileyip sergilemediğini tespit etmek için ARDL & NARDL yaklaşımını kullanmaktadır. Elde edilen bulgular, kamu harcamaları oranı ve kişi başına GSYH büyüme oranı arasında hem doğrusal hem de doğrusal olmayan uzun dönemli bir ilişkinin tanımlandığını göstermektedir. Buna göre, kamu harcamaları ve büyüme arasında uzun dönemli doğrusal bir ilişki belirlenmiştir, ancak katsayıların istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığı bulunmuştur. Bir diğer bulguya göre, kamu harcamaları ve büyüme arasında uzun dönemli doğrusal olmayan bir ilişki tanımlanmıştır ve kamu harcamalarındaki negatif şokların kişi başına GSYH büyüme oranını uzun dönemde negatif olarak etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca Wald testi sonucu, Türkiye' de kamu harcamalarının uzun dönemde büyüme oranını asimetrik olarak etkilediğini göstermektedir.
