Pożegnania i powroty. Przypisy do długiego trwania Polski wyobrażonej we Francji (i nieco krótszego Francji wyobrażonej w Polsce)
Authors:   Clermont Auvergne University (UCA), Rosół Piotr Seweryn
Published: November 2023

The article outlines the longue durée of Poland as imagined in France and France as imagined in Poland in literary representations and political discourse over 500 years of mutual relations. The most important topoi resulting from the first “clash of cultures” (on the occasion of the Polish election of future Henry III of France in 1573), present to this day in impossible farewells and returns and in the scheme of binary oppositions (Enlightenment – Romanticism, modernity – non-modernity, rationality – irrationality, civilization – barbarism, entire Europe – another Europe), are analyzed.
Najnowsze słownictwo jako narzędzie odkrywania i obserwacji współczesnych przemian kulturowych (na materiale z Obserwatorium Językowego Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego)
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Kuc Maria
Published: November 2023

The main thesis of this article is that the new Polish lexis, created after 2000, documents the dynamic changes taking place in the Polish lifestyle and therefore may be used to present contemporary popular culture to foreigners. This thesis is verified by discussing, according to the thematic criterion (e.g. FITNESS, FOOD), 10 groups of new words registered in the dictionary of neologisms of the Language Observatory of the University of Warsaw, and then by indicating the relationship of their meaning or form with the current cultural trends described by researchers. In the end, various suggestions for the use of the new lexis in Polish as a foreign language classes are given.
Czesław Miłosz jako glottodydaktyk
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Zych Justyna
Published: November 2023

The article argues that calling Czesław Miłosz a popularizer of Polish literature and language is fully legitimate. The author presents arguments which corroborate this statement, describing the poet’s initiatives dedicated to promoting Polish literature and language. In the paper, the following aspects of Miłosz’s activity have been described: his literary work, created solely in Polish and often devoted to the author’s native language, his professional activity as a professor of Polish studies at Berkeley, including the authorship of the textbook of Polish literature for foreigners, and his translation accomplishments, namely numerous translations of Polish poets’ works, several published anthologies of Polish poetry in English and educating future translators of Polish literature. Miłosz’s excellent sense of needs and interests of foreigners studying Polish has been particularly emphasized in the article, as it conditioned the success of his prolific activity within popularization of Polish culture.
Wstęp
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Potasińska Paulina
Published: November 2023

The book, prepared in tribute to Professor Andrzej Zieniewicz by his doctoral students and the Polonicum scholars, is the result of reflections on various aspects of Polish culture from the glottodidactic perspective. Not only does it provide readers with valuable information on the history of teaching Polish as a foreign language, but it also explores possible answers to the question how to encourage foreigners to learn about Polish culture.
Dziś jest moje umieranie – o Metempsychozie, ostatnim tomie wierszy Jarosława Marka Rymkiewicza
Authors: Masiuk Olga
Published: November 2023

This article is an analysis of Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz’s last book of poems. The poet has often expressed sharp and divisive political opinions. Although his literary works frequently constitute controversial manifestos, such statements do not appear in Metempsychoza. These very personal poems speak about the universal problem of dying, thus uniting readers and involving them in the text. This volume seems to be a new peculiar version of Dziady: Rymkiewicz both performs the ritual communion of the living with the dead, and creates a text that can be read as an attempt to transcend the work of Mickiewicz (with whom he was fascinated and to whom he devoted many books). The poet uses myths, plays intertextual games with the works of other poets, builds an interesting rhythmic form of an octostich. Thanks to these procedures, he distracts the readers’ attention and hides himself – the main character of these poems – a man who meets his own death. Metempsychoza becomes a moving testimony of dying – daring and masterful.
Highly Sensitive Detection of DNA Fragments by an Inexpensive and Simple Method Fabricated In-House Blue LED Transilluminator
Authors: Ishii Ryosuke
Published: November 2023

Agarose gel electrophoresis is a routinely employed experimental technique for visualizing nucleic acids, typically combined with ethidium bromide or some other molecular dye staining and a UV transilluminator. However, the utilization of a UV transilluminator is restricted due to high cost and safety considerations. In this study, an inexpensive and simple in-house blue Light Emitting Diode (LED) transilluminator was developed using a high-brightness blue LED, carbon resistor, and smartphone charging cable. Its sensitivity for DNA detection was compared with conventional methods. A detection limit of 4 ng/band was confirmed by observing a 100 bp DNA fragment, which is comparable to ethidium bromide staining and UV transilluminator. Additionally, the in-house blue LED transilluminator can be attached to existing electrophoresis chambers, allowing real-time observation of electrophoresis and offering a superior alternative to conventional methods. In conclusion, the developed in-house blue LED transilluminator demonstrates high sensitivity in detecting DNA fragments and holds potential for advancing low-cost research facilities.
THEOLINGUISTICS AS A SCIENCE: STATUS AND CRITERIA FOR ITS ISOLATION
Authors: Kot Sergii O.
Published: November 2023

Any field of human cognition, claiming the status of a science must meet a number of criteria, which include subject and object, its own method and language. To date, the status of theolinguistics as a separate branch of language science is not questioned by any linguist, but the lack of an exhaustive justification of this status makes attempts to do so urgent. The understanding of the subject of theolinguistics, which is based on the existing definitions of this discipline and the tasks it is designed to solve, remains debatable. The tasks of theolinguistic research should be determined taking into account the worldview factor, both the system of views on the world as a whole, and the image of reality, refracted by the position of the individual.
The paper deals with one of the topical issues of theolinguistics as a science – the justification of its status. The purpose, subject, object, units, and methods of theolinguistics are considered and analysed. The cultural and historical context of the emergence of theolinguistics as a synthetic discipline in modern humanitarian knowledge is elaborated. The tendencies of the return of linguistics to the anthropological program of the study of language, one of which is the tendency of integrating theological knowledge into the worldview and culture, which manifests itself more and more distinctly in the modern world, are noted. The process of philosophical and theological thought returning to the question of the essence of the true relationship between culture and religion is observed. Scientific and religious-mythological type of cognitive activity is compared. The methodological basis of research in theolinguistics is characterized. Theolinguistics is examined through the prism of scientific and religious outlooks. Theolinguistics is presented as a synthetic discipline in its formative stage. The potential tasks of theolinguistics as a science are considered.

Political polarization and emotion rhetoric in the US presidential transition: A comparative study of Trump and Biden on Twitter and the post-election impact on the public
Authors: Domínguez-García Ricardo , Méndez-Muros Sandra , Pérez-Curiel Concha , Hinojosa-Becerra Mónica
Published: November 2023

The pictures of the US Capitol attack, on January 6, 2021, represent a before and after in a country marked by the culture of political polarization. Following a presidential campaign based on misinformation and accusations of electoral fraud by Republican candidate Donald Trump, the level of maximum polarization causes a climate of social rupture. Faced with this, the Democratic candidate and winner of the elections, Joe Biden, projects a discourse of institutional stability and legality as a strategy before public opinion. Two years later, the abrupt division of the US electorate is evident, with a significant percentage of Republican voters questioning the legitimacy of the electoral process. The objective of this research is to find out the strategies of political polarization deployed by Donald Trump and Joe Biden on Twitter in the 2020-2021 presidential transition period, as well as the public’s response. Based on a general sample of 1,060 tweets, a comparative content analysis methodology with a triple approach (quantitative-qualitative-discursive) is applied, based on the study of themes, emotions, and the ability to go viral of the messages of both political leaders. The results confirm a Trump’s speech defined by polarization, misinformation and the attack on the democratic system, relegating information from his presidential administration in the last months of his term to the background. On the contrary, Biden avoids confrontation and reinforces his legitimacy as president-elect, by announcing management measures of the future government. The engagement value of the social audience on Twitter is also added, with a position of support for the winner of the elections.
REALIZATION OF THE COMPETENCY POTENTIAL OF THE TECHNOLOGIGAL EDUCATION FIELD IN THE CONTENT OF EDUCATIONAL LITERATURE
Authors: Tereshchuk Andriy
Published: November 2023

The article discloses general algorithms for identifying the competence approach in the content of educational literature, during the organization of the educational process of learning technologies in the New Ukrainian School.A brief overview of the issues of competence training was carried out, the concept of key competence was outlined, taking into account theoretical research and taking into account the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education. The components of key competence and its difference from the leading technological educational field are determined.Learning outcomes, which are grouped in the field of technology education, into four groups of skills, written in terms of key competencies. Here one should distinguish between leading and key competence. Leading for technological education will be a part of the “competency in natural sciences and technologies” shared with the natural branch, which can be conventionally called “competencies in technology”.The leading technology competence (or competences) is formed and developed by the teacher in the technology lessons of the same name, while other key competences are only developed. This will determine the content of the tasks in the educational literature on technologies, when the tasks, for example, on the development of mathematical competence will not contain new knowledge in mathematics, but only on the use of mathematics in practice, which will only involve the development of mathematical thinking during solving practical tasks.General approaches for identifying competence content in the technological education textbook are proposed.

Keywords: New Ukrainian school; competence approach; technologies; technological educational sector; State standards of basic secondary education; learning results; key competence; leading competence; study guide; educational literature.
“TIME COMPETENCE” AS A DEVELOPMENT TOOL OF PROFESSIONAL IMAGE OF APPLICANTS OF EDUCATION IN INSTITUTIONS OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ACCREDITATION
Authors: Soroka Olha , Shcherbyna Kostiantyn
Published: November 2023

It is analyzed in the article “competency in time” as a means of developing the professional image of applicants for education in institutions of different accreditation levels. There are highlighted characteristics of the “professional image”, “competence in time”. They will enable future specialists of socionomic professions to effectively carry out their professional activities. Scientists interpret “image” differently, focusing on its polysemantic category. It characterizes the style of professional and pedagogical activity, the manner of communication, the ability to individualize one’s image, to give it aesthetic expressiveness.There are summarized definitions of the terms “image”, “professional image”. It is defined “professional image of a specialist in socionomic professions” in the context of the study of the raised problem. It is an integrated image that combines internal and external characteristics. It also arises in the minds of other people in the communication process with him. It was established that “temporal competence” involves the effective organization of professional activity in accordance with the challenges of time and space. It creates conditions for professional self-realization. “Competence in time” is defined as the presence of knowledge, abilities and skills, experience in organizing one’s time resources, adequate perception of temporal reality.The development of the professional image of applicants for education in educational institutions (colleges) and higher education will take place more effectively if the case method is used. Attention is focused on three aspects of the case method: as a specific teaching method, as a paradigm of activity and way of thinking, and as a field of creative activity. It has been established that the simplest are “choice cases”, “closed” cases that contain all the necessary information ‒ a description of a situation that has two solutions. It is presented an indicative scenario of organizing a lesson on the development of “time competence” according to the case method, consisting of four stages (organizational, preparatory, analytical, final).

Keywords: time competence; image; professional image; case method; professional training; development; education seekers; specialists in socionomic professions; professional preliminary educational institutions; higher educational institutions.
The Phenomenon of Play in Boris Mikhailov’s Works of 1966–1980
Authors: Chekh Natalia
Published: November 2023

The paper examines the game prerequisites of creativity and investigates the play in Boris Mikhailov’s (born August 25, 1938, Kharkiv, Ukrainian SSR) works from 1966 to 1980. Analysis of the artist’s works and narrative interviews enables a historical periodisation of his legacy based on certain markers and principles. During the first, metaphorical stage of his creativity, B. Mikhailov figuratively denies and at the same time praises his current reality in search for the Ideal. The open photo series created by B. Mikhailov at this time have a form ofslide shows of overlays of two colour diapositive films and views of thematic series of photographic prints. The artist presents them during photographic seminars, clubs meetings, and private meetings. Artistic imagery by B. Mikhailov manifests itself in the unfinished transition from life to art and back. The photographer introduced the concept of carnivalization of photography into the theoretical discourse, with carnival images and folk-holiday forms of carnival-type laughter entering the art of photography. Mikhailov’slaughter at this stage is already carnival-like, i.e. ambivalent, universal and nationwide, it has a folk-celebratory nature and is aimed at everything and everyone. In the course of the study, biographical, conceptual, descriptive-phenomenological, hermeneutical, and comparative methods of analysis were applied.
Hijabi Girlhood in the Intersections
Authors: Almanssori Salsabel , Saleh Muna
Published: November 2023

Although hijab has long been a subject of fascination in western1 culture for some time, in the last several years the girl in hijab has been in the sociopolitical spotlight. As Katherine Bullock and Gul Jafri (2000) noted over twenty years ago, “Because of this Western cultural fixation on Muslim women's dress as a symbol of oppression, Muslim women often have to focus on that aspect of their identity as well, even if they would rather talk of something else” (37). With hijab being the most visible way to identify and be identified as Muslim as Wahiba Abu-Ras and Zulema Suarez (2009 along with Hodan Mohamed (2017) remind us, those who observe hijab with their dress experience the world in unique ways. The experiences of girls and young women in hijab are undoubtedly shaped by what Kimberlé Crenshaw (1989) and Patricia Hill Collins (2015) call intersectionality and under bell hooks's (2013) conceptualization of interlocking systems of domination. Central to these systems of oppression that shape the lives of Muslim girls and women are Edward Said's (1978) concept of Orientalism and what Jasmin Zine (2006) terms gendered Islamophobia as Lila Abo-Lughod's (2013) discussion of dominant narratives of Muslim women as oppressed clearly demonstrates.
Hijab, Girls’ Sports, and the Ongoing Effects of Colonial Feminism
Authors: Christianakis Mary , Moazzam-Doulat Malek
Published: November 2023

Since 9/11 and the Global War on Terror, the West has fixated policy on the hijab, framing it as oppressive and as a threat to women's rights. This entrenched colonial perspective affects Muslim girl athletes globally. Public discourse on hijabs in sports often overlooks their complex symbolism and the athletes’ choices. Drawing on Indigenous, postcolonial, and critical feminist theories, we explore in this article how Muslim girl athletes navigate hijab politics, expressing their agency through refusal and resistance.

Stability factors of an unstable coalition. Spain 2020-2023
Authors: Kurakina-Damir Alexandra
Published: November 2023

The study is aimed at identifying factors that posed a threat to the coalition government of Spain (2020-2023), or contributed to its stability. Based on the theory of party coalitions, the author highlights the Strengths of the coalition, its Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, and compiles a SWOT matrix. Based on the conviction that the early dissolution of the parliament, which led to the early resignation of the government, was more of a tactical move (to improve electoral positions), rather than a forced measure, and 4-5 months remained before the end of the constitutional term of its activity, the author considers Spain's first experience of a nationwide coalition government as successful. Among the Strengths of the government coalition are the political ambitions of the head of the government and his ability to maneuver between the interests of a large number of small parties, seeking their support.

This study aims to find out the preparation of the preacher in packing messages and the impression of the tabligh in Nagari Pakan Rabaa, Koto District Parik Gadang Di Ateh, South Solok Regency, West Sumatra. The method used in this research is field research with a qualitative approach. The source of this research data is the Mubaligh and worshipers of the mosque and mushalla in the Pakan Rabaa kenagarian, and are supported by theories in books that are related to research problems. Data were analyzed by purposife sampling method, that is selecting samples from the population based on certain considerations, data were analyzed descriptively, analysis of data obtained through interviews and other written data would be linked to one another. From the research carried out, it was concluded that in general the preachers in Kenagarian Pakan Rabaa, Koto Subdistrict Parik Gadang in Ateh, Kabupaten Solok Selatan made preparations before going high and could be said to have fulfilled the ideal category. However, there are still deficiencies on some sides, such as the totality of the mubaligh in applying their tablighic material which is still considered minimal by worshipers, so that the impression of a tabligh message that has been built spontaneously becomes faded.

Authors: Adebodun Great O. , Odunaike Dorcas O. , Olajide Laide O. , Adebodun Abayomi S. , Kayode Abolanle A. A.
Published: November 2023

Peptic ulcer is described as the deep destruction of the stomach and/or duodenal mucosa, extending past the muscularis mucosa, which occurs when the mucosal defences including prostaglandins, mucus, and sufficient blood flow are altered. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are the two primary causatives linked with the etiology of peptic ulcer disease. Other causative agents are smoking, ischemia, hydrochloric acid, and alcohol. Drugs used in the treatment include histamine-2 receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors which have been discovered to possess adverse effects. Medicinal plants, however, are beneficial and effective in the prevention, management, and treatment of various ailments. Therefore, this review highlights common medicinal plants and their mechanisms of action in preventing or treating peptic ulcers.  ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and PubMed were searched for relevant articles published between 2019-2023 using the keywords “medicinal plants and peptic ulcer”, “medicinal plants and gastric ulcer”. According to the research articles, some of the mechanisms of action include lowered gastric index, inflammation, and gastric lesions, increased gastric pH, protective index, antioxidant levels. However, more studies should be carried out to determine the active compounds in these plants. More clinical trials are also needed to validate the safety and efficacy of these medicinal plants since most of the studies enumerated in this review are animal-based studies.Keywords: Peptic ulcer, medicinal plants, Helicobacter pylori

Beteiligung der kommunalen Spitzenverbände an der Bundesgesetzgebung: Eine Analyse der Anhörungspraxis in den Bundesministerien und den Ausschüssen des Deutschen Bundestages (2017–2021) / Participation of Local Government Associations in Federal Legislation: An Analysis of the Hearing Practices in the Federal Ministries and Committees of the German Bundestag (2017–2021)
Authors: Bernhard Jonas , Klausch Martin
Published: November 2023

Dieses Papier befasst sich mit der Beteiligung der kommunalen Spitzenverbände (KSV) an der Bundesgesetzgebung in der 19. Legislaturperiode des Deutschen Bundestages (2017–2021). Eine Analyse aller 543 in diesem Zeitraum verkündeten Gesetze zeigt, dass eine formelle Beteiligung des Deutschen Städtetags, des Deutschen Landkreistags oder des Deutschen Städte- und Gemeindebunds in nur 62 Prozent aller kommunalrelevanten Gesetzgebungsverfahren dokumentiert ist. In den Bundesministerien ist die Beteiligungsrate verglichen mit den Bundestagsausschüssen insgesamt höher, wobei sowohl zwischen den einzelnen Ressorts als auch zwischen den Ausschüssen auffällige Unterschiede bestehen. Eine genauere Untersuchung des Themenkontexts liefert erste Erklärungsansätze, warum die Verbände in manche Gesetzgebungsverfahren eingebunden werden, während sie in anderen Fällen außen vor bleiben. So ist eine stärkere Beteiligung bei politisch bedeutsamen Vorhaben zu verzeichnen, die der Bundestag bereits in erster Lesung debattiert. Gesetze mit KSV-Beteiligung sind zudem inhaltlich komplexer, was auf eine höhere Nachfrage nach dem für die effektive Politikformulierung benötigten Praxiswissen der KSV hindeutet.
Puiseux asymptotic expansions for convection-dominated transport problems in thin graph-like networks: Strong boundary interactions
Authors: Mel’nyk Taras , Rohde Christian
Published: November 2023

This article completes the study of the influence of the intensity parameter α in the boundary condition ε ∂ ν ε u ε − u ε V ε → · ν ε = ε α φ ε given on the boundary of a thin three-dimensional graph-like network consisting of thin cylinders that are interconnected by small domains (nodes) with diameters of order O ( ε ). Inside of the thin network a time-dependent convection-diffusion equation with high Péclet number of order O ( ε − 1 ) is considered. The novelty of this article is the case of α < 1, which indicates a strong intensity of physical processes on the boundary, described by the inhomogeneity φ ε (the cases α = 1 and α > 1 were previously studied by the same authors). A complete Puiseux asymptotic expansion is constructed for the solution u ε as ε → 0, i.e., when the diffusion coefficients are eliminated and the thin network shrinks into a graph. Furthermore, the corresponding uniform pointwise and energy estimates are proved, which provide an approximation of the solution with a given accuracy in terms of the parameter ε.
Integrating the Design of the Product Life Cycle by a Master Bill of Materials
Authors: Stolt Roland
Published: November 2023

A bill of materials (BOM) is a representation of the structure of parts and components in a product. The most well-known ones are the engineering (EBOM) and the manufacturing (MBOM). However, there are several more with various purposes throughout the lifecycle of the product. All BOMs are related to the part and component structure of the product but focus on different life cycle phases. They are often individually defined in product development creating a fragmented process. In this paper it is proposed to instead define a “master BOM” It is cross functional and includes all life cycle items. The master BOM has impact on the IT environment of a company as well as the organization of the work. In this paper, the creation and management of BOMs have been investigated in an industrial company. The IT environment of the company is currently heterogeneous, but there is a change towards a PLM centric environment. Results indicate that changing the IT environment and the structure of BOMs can integrate the different domains of the company better and facilitate the early phase assessment of the environmental impact of the products.
Analysis of Product Development Connected to Production for Industrialized Housebuilding
Authors: Lennartsson Martin , Raudberget Dag , Elgh Fredrik
Published: November 2023

Industrialized housebuilding (IHB) is a sector within the construction trade where product platforms have been introduced from the mechanical industry to manage the product architecture and allow mass customization. The aim of this study is to analyze product development projects connected to the product platform and the production. For IHB, the backbone is a technical platform where components are designed and combined. Clients are satisfied, avoiding compromising the technical platform and the product architecture of the different variants. However, the adaptation to production is decisive and production has increased automation, with less flexibility in relation to the products. Still, product development has focused on the engineering view and the development of building components which fit in the predefined or well-established production facility while at the same time satisfy customer demands, i.e., maintaining the balance between distinctiveness and commonality. The study has observed one IHB company and two of their development projects focusing on changes in the product architecture for components across several of their product families. The development has been carried out in a bottom-up fashion. The results indicate difficulties in finding solutions, which fit production. An integrated design of production obstructs product development; the selection of project participants may affect the project results, both in terms of prior experience but also the problem-solving ability; the lack of project documentation is costly since experience is not captured, which could be recycled in future developments.
Portable NMR for the investigation of models of mammographic density ex vivo: Androgens antagonise the promotional effect of oestrogen
Authors: Huang Xuan , Reye Gina , Momot Konstantin I. , Blick Tony , Lloyd Thomas , Tilley Wayne D. , Hickey Theresa E. , Snell Cameron E. , Thompson Erik W. , Hugo Honor J.
Published: November 2023

Background: Increased mammographic density (MD) is a strong and independent risk factor for breast cancer. Lifetime oestrogenic exposure is associated with increased MD, however androgenic effects on MD have not been widely investigated. Methods: We studied the effect of 17 β-oestradiol (E2) alone or in combination with an androgen receptor (AR) agonist ( 5 α-dihydrotestosterone [DHT]) or a selective AR modulator (Enobosarm), in modulating MD as measured via single-sided Portable NMR in a patient-derived explant (PDE) model of normal human mammary tissue. Results: We observed an upward trend in explants treated with E2 alone in 3/6 cases, an effect which appeared to be somewhat influenced by menopausal status. Co-treatment of E2 with the AR agonists DHT or Enobosarm however effected a downward trend in regards to MD. E2 significantly upregulated the ER regulated genes (ERGs) CELSR2 and AR, and the AR regulated genes SEC14L2 and GRPC5A, whereas E2 in combination with AR agonist Enobosarm downregulated ERGs SERPINA3, ATP6V1B1, TFF1 and PR regulated gene RANK. Only GREB1 and CLIC6 were upregulated by E2 and downregulated by the combination of E2 with Enobosarm. DHT + E2 exhibited no significant difference in expression of ER, AR or PR genes examined, compared with the effect of E2 alone. A negative trend was observed between ER protein levels and MD increase in PDEs. Since ER protein gets degraded upon hormone activation, this observation supports active ER signalling in the promotion of MD. Conclusions: Collectively, these findings supports the utility of single-sided Portable NMR for the measurement of MD in explanted human mammary tissue to detect MD change in response to exogenous hormone treatments. A mechanism through which activation of AR may reduce MD as a potential mechanism for reducing breast cancer risk associated to high MD is discussed.
A novel ensemble model of multi-class credit assessment based on multi-source fusion theory

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the assessment method based on machine learning, especially the ensemble learning method, has attracted more and more attention in the field of credit assessment. However, most of the ensemble assessment models are complex in structure and costly in time for parameter tuning, few of them break through the limitations of lightweight, universal and efficient. This paper present a new ensemble model for personal credit assessment. First, considering the conflicts and differences among multiple sources of information, a new method is proposed to correct the category prior information by using the difference measure. Then, the revised prior information is fused with the current sample information with the help of Bayesian data fusion theory. The model can integrate the advantages of multiple benchmark classifiers to reduce the interference of uncertain information. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed model, several typical ensemble classification models are selected and empirically studied using real customer credit data from a commercial bank in China, and the results show that among various assessment criteria: the proposed model not only effectively improves the multi-class classification performance, but also outperforms other advanced multi-class classification credit assessment models in terms of parameter tuning and generalizability. This paper supports commercial banks and other financial institutions examination and approval work.

Tax Revenue Forecasting: an Empirical Evidence Using Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL)
Authors: Iraman Endra
Published: November 2023

It is essential for the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) to forecast tax revenue fast, accurately, and consistently, especially with high volatility in the current macroeconomics condition. This article tries to build an empirical forecasting model capturing global and local macroeconomic conditions as variables. The researcher found that most macroeconomic variables can be utilized to predict tax revenue in the short run. However, these variables are less likely to project tax revenue in the future for a particular type of tax revenue. Given these results, DGT, as a tax authority in Indonesia, may apply this approach to forecast tax revenue, both in the short run and the long run.
Contrasting Construction and Business Projects: Implications for Project Management Techniques
Authors: Einhorn Frank
Published: November 2023

From textbooks and education on project management, practitioners may be forgiven for assuming that well-documented project management techniques apply universally. In questioning the assumption, this paper shows that the nature of the project needs to be considered when deciding on techniques and, more importantly, how to apply them.

While acknowledging the broad spectrum of projects, the approach taken is to contrast the extremes. On the one side is a typical construction project with a detailed specification being executed by a contractor; on the other, is a typical business project where, even if the overall objective is agreed, the way of achieving it is still to be determined and will change as the project unfolds. Contrasting different kinds of projects has not been found in extant literature, hence there are few references. To explore this new area, the following are covered. Four project examples are given to illustrate the differences between construction and business projects. The differences are then analysed on eight dimensions, Using this as background, eleven aspects of project management and some of their techniques, are discussed in terms of how they are applied.

Most of the paper is based on the author’s experience as a practitioner overlapped with teaching of project management and project governance. Because research has not yet been done, eight areas for possible future research are suggested.

Published: November 2023

The global community gathered in 2015 in Paris to join efforts in order to mitigate the impact of global warming by decreasing carbon emissions. As tourism is viewed as one of the essential causes of global warming, policymakers are searching for tools to decrease the carbon footprint of the tourism sector by introducing energy efficiency strategies. This study aims to contribute to the energy-emissions debate by accounting for the presence of the tourism sector. In particular, we offer novel evidence on the effect of renewable energy on CO2 emissions in a sample of 50 most tourism-oriented countries over the period from 2000 to 2015. Using a two-step GMM estimator, we find that a one percent increase in renewable energy consumption leads to a one percent decrease in CO2 emissions. We also confirm the presence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve phenomena in tourism-oriented countries. Based on the empirical findings, the study suggests that the policymakers of the top tourist-oriented countries initiate more renewable energy-based activities to achieve sustainable economic development.

This study analyzes the asymmetric effect of changes in world energy prices, which include crude oil, natural gas, and coal prices, and the exchange rate on consumer price index (CPI) inflation in Indonesia. The models used in the analysis are quantile regression and dynamic ordinary least squares. The period studied is monthly in the period 2001M01 - 2022M12. The study results show that world crude oil prices have asymmetrically positive effects on CPI inflation when world oil prices increase and decrease. The fall in the price of crude oil has a more significant effect than the increase. The asymmetric impact of world crude oil prices on CPI inflation was also found between lower and middle quantiles. However, the short-run impact of rising crude oil prices is only found in the 7th quartile. So, the long-run effect is more dominant than the short-run effect. The role of the fuel subsidy policy, which the government manages, is beneficial in reducing inflationary fluctuations originating from fluctuations in world crude oil prices. Efforts to develop oil refineries in Indonesia that need to be done to reduce imports of crude oil and fuel are expected to be able to reduce the impact of world oil price fluctuations on domestic inflation in the future.
Nexus between FDI, Financial Development, Capital Formation and Renewable Energy Consumption; evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Kor Sylvia , Qamruzzaman Md
Published: November 2023

This paper examines the interplay among foreign direct investment (FDI), financial development, capital formation, and renewable energy consumption in the context of Bangladesh. The study uses empirical evidence to shed light on the nexus between these variables. Panel data analysis techniques investigate the relationship over a specific period. This research provides insights into Bangladesh's dynamic interactions among FDI, financial development, capital formation, and renewable energy consumption. The study reveals significant positive associations between FDI and renewable energy consumption, indicating that FDI inflows contribute to the growth and utilization of renewable energy sources. Moreover, the analysis uncovers a positive relationship between financial development and renewable energy consumption, suggesting that a well-developed financial sector facilitates the financing and implementation of renewable energy projects. Additionally, the study highlights the role of capital formation in promoting renewable energy consumption. The positive relationship between capital formation and renewable energy consumption indicates that investment in physical infrastructure and productive assets supports the expansion and utilization of renewable energy sources. This analysis provides empirical evidence of the interdependencies among FDI, financial development, capital formation, and renewable energy consumption in Bangladesh. Overall, the findings suggest that fostering FDI, improving financial sector development, and promoting capital formation are crucial for enhancing renewable energy consumption in Bangladesh. The study's conclusions have implications for policymakers and stakeholders in designing and implementing strategies to promote sustainable and renewable energy sources in the country.

Trade may be significantly impacted by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), which refers to investments made outside of the investor's place of origin. Carbon emissions, in particular those that are the result of industrial activity and transportation, have the potential to have a number of important effects on commerce on both the national and international levels. The environmental, economic, and social repercussions of these effects are intricately interwoven with one another. Because it has an immediate bearing on a nation's production capacity, level of competitiveness, and the kinds of products and services that may be exported from or imported into the nation, the value added in industry has a considerable influence on international commerce. The level of government spending may have a considerable impact on the way a nation does in terms of commerce. There are several facets of commerce that might be affected, either favorably or badly, by the method that a government utilizes to distribute its money. The current study aims to examine the linkages among renewable energy, FDI, Environmental degradation and their impact on trade. The findings of study are obtained from a panel of 58 developing countries from 2000 to 2022. The results of Panel unit roots and Kao co-integration tests recommend to apply the panel ARDL to get the empirics of desirable relationships. The results of the study recommend that it is essential for governments to find a balance when making choices about their expenditures in order to guarantee that the resources allotted support sustainable economic growth, improve trade competitiveness, and fit with larger development goals. Spending decisions made by the government that are both strategic and well-targeted have the potential to play a significant part in improving the economic performance of a nation and its integration into the global economy.
