THE NEW DESIGN OF PUBLIC LAW CONCEPTS IN DIGITAL ECONOMY: TAXATION INFLUENCE ON FUNDAMENTAL REGULATION
Authors: TOFAN Mihaela
Published: June 2024

The paper addresses the challenges generated by the new layout of the global economy, in general,
and in the Central and Eastern Europe, in particular. The recent pandemic, energetic crises and military
conflicts emphasize the influence of digitalization on the public law, from the design of the institutional
mechanism to the new regulatory perspective of the fiscal treatment for the income generated by individual
and natural persons. The particularities of the digital dimension of the global economy have justified the
need to use similar/compatible regulation worldwide for almost all the fields of the public law. This tendency
is even more dominant for the fiscal law field, a distinctive area of public law and the main tool used by the
states to determine the state's annual income. It is expected that all the governments aim at maximizing their
revenues, using the constitutional protection for the sovereign right to determine taxes. The result is often
inefficient, as the states engage in a tight competition between each other for the larger part of the taxable
income. The short-term benefit from such conduct is unbalanced by the mid- and long-term distortion of the
economic activities, asking for innovative solutions. The recent developments in international organization
negotiation and the domestic perspective on the fiscal regime of the digital income have determined changes
in the design of the public law concepts, favoring the mutual agreements on taxation and undermining the
role of the national legislations on the topic. The assessment of these recent evolutions in local, regional and
international taxation shows important changes in the design of the public law concepts in the digital
economy: the imperative to draw multilateral agreements on taxation and the challenges of constitutional
law.

Authors: BABARINDE Gbenga Festus , ABDULMAJEED Tajudeen Idera , OKUNOLA Olawuyi Taiwo
Published: June 2024

This paper investigates the connection between human resource accounting (HRA) and profitability
of listed deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria for period, 2010-2020. While controlling for size effect, this
aims to determine the effect of salaries and wages, directors’ remuneration, and retirement benefits and
costs, on banks’ profitability (proxy by Return on Asset (ROA)). Secondary data sourced from published
annual financial statements of nine purposefully selected DMBs quoted on the Nigerian Exchange Group,
were analyzed using Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (P-ARDL) model and panel Granger causality
technique. This study reveals that retirement benefits and costs, and directors’ emolument exert positive and
significant effect on ROA while salary and wages has positive but non-significant effect on ROA.
Furthermore, there is a unidirectional causality flow from ROA to salaries and wages and banks size. It is
therefore concluded that investment in human resources have positive and significant effect on the
profitability of banks in Nigeria and banks profitability dictates their wage-paying ability and size. It is
recommended that banks should investment more in their HR particularly by providing a much more
guaranteed retirement benefits to their employees and also handsomely rewarding their currently serving
directors and employees.
The State of Political Ethnic Mobilisation among Kenyan Communities in Postcolonial Era, 1963 to 2007 A Case Study of Bukusu People
Authors: Daniel Wapukha Kituyi
Published: June 2024

There is a growing body of scholarly work on political behaviour in Africa that accords much credence to the salience of ethnicity as a rallying point during electoral processes. Yet at the country level, we still understand very little about the interactions between ethnicity and voting behaviour and what demographic groups are more likely or less likely to be susceptible to the effects of ethnic cues, if at all, when voting or expressing support in other ways for political parties. Such features are dominant in Kenyan politics and are characterized majorly through ethnic-based politics where the formation of political parties and coalitions are motivated ethnically. Taking Bukusu as a case example, it is clearly seen how political game and electoral mobilisation is largely contested ethnic terrain. This explains why the majority of the leaders in Bungoma are Bukusu who have had a defining moment and significant effect on political leadership and electoral politics since independence. This paper focused on the state of political ethnic mobilisation among Kenyan communities in postcolonial era, 1963 to 2007with reference to Bukusu people of Bungoma District. The study examines ethnic politics as an instrument for political mileage among the Bukusu people. It is noted herein that since the migration and eventual inception of imperialism, the Bukusu people just like other communities in the country resisted colonisation which eventually cemented them together up to date. Karly Popper’s instrumentalism theory and AchilleMbembe’s postcolonial theory were the two theories used in the study. This study relied heavily on archival materials, oral interviews, and a review of linked secondary literature. Convergence and divergence were produced after thoroughly reviewing, analysing, and compiling all the data. Ex-post facto as a research design was used with purposive and snowball as sampling techniques. Elderly men and women were target population and the sampling size was guided by historical principle of not less than twenty eight participants. It is argued that this data will be useful to policymakers in formulating and comprehending the factors that affect political patterns and behaviour both at the national and local levels. The study should be of importance to historian scholars and more specifically on those who have an interest in state of political ethnic mobilisation among Kenyan Communities.

Published: June 2024

Purpose. The relationship between APOL1 variants and cardiovascular disease remains controversial, thus, this study assessed the association between APOL1 high-risk genotypes and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) among sub-Saharan African in T.b. gambiense endemic area.
Methodology. We enrolled 238 subjects living in the region of Masimanimba, an endemic area of T.b.gambiense HAT. We evaluated the association between LVH on echocardiography and the status of APOL1 genes in participants with or without HAT. APOL1 high-risk genotype (HRG) was defined as the presence of two risk variants (G1/G1, G2/G2, or G1/G2), and a low-risk genotype (LRG) with the presence of 0 or 1 single variant. Student’s and Pearson's Chi2 tests or Fisher’s exact test were used to compare means and proportions. The Wilcoxon/Mann–Whitney test was used to compare medians. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify independent determinants of LVH. Odds ratios were provided with their 95% confidence intervals (Cis). Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05, based on 2-tailed test.
Findings.  The prevalence of LVH (31.5%) increased with age and was similar in HAT-infected and non-infected subjects (29.8% vs. 32.6%; p=0.376). The trend of a greater left ventricular mass in participants with LVH carrying APOL1 HRG compared to those with LRG was not statistically significant (141g/m2 vs. 125 g/m2; p = 0.253). The frequency of HRG among participants with LVH was similar between HAT-infected and non-infected (15.8% vs. 9.1%; p = 0.806). Age ≥ 38 years [OR 2.5 (95% CI: 1.4-4.5), p = 0.001], hypertension [OR 2.4 (95% CI: 1.1-5.3), p = 0.034], WHR > 0.5 [OR 2.0 (95% CI: 1.0-3.6), p = 0.018] and CKD [OR 1.7 (95% CI: 1.0-3.0), p = 0.049] were associated with LVH. In multivariable logistic regression analysis age ≥ 38 years was the only independent determinant of LVH [ORa 2.0 (95% CI: 1.1-3.8), p = 0.020].
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy. An assessment of cardiovascular risk is essential for individuals with LVH carrying APOL1 HRG in order to benefit from early and appropriate medical intervention. Further larger prospective follow-up survey is required to assess the incidence of LVH in individuals with APOL1 HRG variants.

Authors: Šljivo Amina , Ovčina Amer , Mešalić Lejla , Marjanović Marijan
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Workplace safety means implementing a modern risk assessment method automatically included in the risk management activity. When a risk is discovered, it is necessary to reduce it or eliminate it completely through preventive measures or interventions. Aim: To examine to what extent healthcare organizations care about their workers, to what extent workers are aware of the risks, whether they have adequate working conditions and whether they respect them. Participants and methods: The study was included 144 healthcare professionals employed in public and private healthcare institutions in the Sarajevo Canton. The sample was selected by the method of random selection. The study is descriptive and comparative. Results: The total sample (N=144) included 140 or 97.2% respondents working in public healthcare institutions, and 4 or 2.8% respondents working in private healthcare institutions. Almost ¾ of respondents are familiar with the implementation of risk assessment in the workplace, and in 25.0% of cases they are familiar with some strategic document on risk management and assessment of risky workplaces. The largest number of respondents, 63.9%, state that they respect the protection measures provided by the employer. None of the respondents gave reasons for non-compliance. Conclusion: Respondents confirmed the existence of workplace risks in public and private healthcare institutions and awareness about them, they are fully or partially aware of the risks and partially practice protection against them. A significant number of employees mention illnesses that are potentially caused by a risky workplace.Keywords:workplace safety, management, healthcare institutions.

Fraud Detection in Bank Loans with KYC Verification System
Authors: Shital Shende
Published: June 2024

In today's technologically-driven financial landscape, bank loan fraud poses a significant threat to both financial institutions and their customers. While traditional methods of fraud detection have been moderately effective, the increasing sophistication of fraudsters necessitates the implementation of more advanced measures. This research proposes an integrated system for bank loan fraud detection that leverages the robustness of Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. By combining traditional KYC processes with advanced machine learning algorithms, this system seeks to provide a more comprehensive approach to detecting and preventing fraudulent loan applications. Initial results indicate a marked reduction in successful fraud attempts, as well as a decrease in false positives compared to conventional systems. Furthermore, the integrated system offers enhanced customer experience by streamlining the loan application process, reducing verification times, and ensuring greater security of personal data. As financial institutions continue to grapple with the challenges of fraud, this research underscores the importance of integrating traditional verification methods with cutting-edge technological solutions for optimal results

Parallel texts to translate cultural references in last wills and testaments (EN-GAL): A didactic case study
Authors: López-González Rebeca Cristina
Published: June 2024

Careful consideration of cultural elements is required in the transfer of legal texts within the field of specialized translation, according to Borja (2000, p. 163). The translator faces a set of difficulties not only when finding the suitable equivalences between legal systems, but also when mediating between cultures. Last wills constitute a type of legal text that is subjected to a fixed macrostructure (Alcaraz et al., 2006, p. 371) frequently bestrewed with cultural elements. This paper presents a practical perspective on translating five culturally-bound elements in a last will and testament originally drafted in English and translated into Galician by 36 final-year translation students. Furthermore, the proper use of parallel texts will also be dealt with, considering that these ‘authentic texts’ (Nord, 2010, p. 13) provide essential linguistic and cultural information during the translation process. Non-professional translators, undergraduates, in this case, search for and use the parallel texts they need to carry out an in-depth analysis to extract those sections that guide their work (Roiss, 2009, p. 134). Parallel texts were attached to their assignment and later examined to reinforce student’s learning process of legal translation module. The analysis has shown that most students could identify a set of parallel texts, suitable for the transfer of the five cultural items discussed here. By carrying out this practice, students have learnt not only where to find these texts while taking this module but also how to use them as a useful translation tool.

Authors: Kozhakhmetova Gulsara , Tazhibayeva Saule , Abeshova Nurgul , Ibragimova Karlygash
Published: June 2024

This article examines the translation of Kazakh cultural objects in literary works, which holds significant importance for Kazakh language and culture. The article analyzes the significance of national hair ornaments and belts in the works of Kazakh writers and their translation into Russian and English. Kazakh people believe that the hair ornament sholpy protects a girl or a young woman from evil forces. This type of hair ornament has both material and spiritual significance in Kazakh culture. In Kazakh literary works, the value of the analyzed jewelry is connected with its affiliation to a person and social status. It is presented as a symbol of female beauty. The belt is a valuable piece of nomadic clothing and a highly valued sacred object in Kazakh culture. Specific functional and semantic meanings as well as translation in literary works have been considered. The importance of translation as a “golden bridge” between different cultures is on the rise. As in other spheres, the requirements for translation are updated depending on the purpose and stage. The anthropocentric trend in modern linguistics raises the question of the relationship between language, man and culture, and poses the task of being able to convey the world view of one nation in the language of another, preserving all cultural and spiritual characteristics, taking into account deep information about people’s background knowledge. The article also analyzes the problem of background knowledge and the peculiarities of translating Kazakh culture-specific elements with spiritual significance for the people. These elements should be taken into account when translating literary works.

Published: June 2024

La demanda actual de traducción especializada, los avances tecnológicos, el uso de herramientas y los plazos de entrega han influido en el producto y el proceso, fomentando los servicios de posedición. La posedición se refiere a los ajustes realizados a los productos arrojados por un traductor automático (Alves et al., 2016). Por consiguiente, ha surgido un interés por estudiar la calidad del producto y cuestiones lingüísticas como aspectos sintácticos, morfosintácticos y semánticos (Popovic et al., 2014; Koponen et al., 2012; Temnikova, 2010), sin investigar los procesos cognitivos implicados en la lectura para con fines de posedición. El objetivo de este artículo es describir la comprensión de un texto especializado con fines de posedición. La recolección de la información se realizó mediante seguimiento ocular y protocolo retrospectivo, a tres traductores. Los participantes poseditaron un texto de 227 palabras del ámbito de salud. Los resultados mostraron un involucramiento de la atención y la memoria de trabajo (Cowan, 1999, 2005, 2021) durante el procesamiento de Unidades Terminológicas (UTs). Además, factores como el campo de conocimiento, la experiencia y el nivel de escolaridad también podrían afectar el proceso de posedición.
Un estudio de la traducción y presencia de las escritoras españolas en el contexto chino del siglo XXI
Authors: Yu Sicong
Published: June 2024

Desde la década de los 80, los intercambios literarios entre España y China han proliferado, como demuestran los centenares de obras españolas traducidas a la lengua china. Sin embargo, gran parte de estas publicaciones corresponden a obras escritas por hombres, mientras que las traducciones de escritoras y los estudios relacionados continúan en un segundo plano. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo destacar esta situación mediante un análisis fundamentado en una revisión bibliográfica. Para documentar esta circunstancia de manera más precisa, se han seleccionado diversas fuentes bibliográficas como manuales didácticos, libros traducidos, monografías temáticas, antologías y revistas académicas publicadas en China que se centran en la producción de escritoras españolas. Los datos observados reflejan su subrepresentación en el contexto chino del siglo XXI en comparación con los escritores hombres y las obras canónicas.
Capacidad crítica en el aula de traducción: Wikipedia como entorno de aprendizaje
Authors: Cáceres-Würsig Ingrid , Silos Ribas Lorena , Claes Florencia
Published: June 2024

Wikipedia es una enciclopedia digital, libre, colaborativa y multilingüe que se ha convertido en uno de los recursos más empleados en Internet a nivel mundial. Debido a su gran alcance social es objeto de estudio en muchas disciplinas, entre ellas, los Estudios de Traducción. La traducción en Wikipedia ha sido examinada para analizar no solo aspectos lingüísticos y terminológicos (McDonough Dolmaya, 2015), sino también etnográficos, sociológicos (Jiménez Crespo, 2017; Alonso-Jiménez, 2014) y didácticos. El potencial didáctico de Wikipedia para el aprendizaje de la traducción viene avalado por experiencias previas (Kodura, 2019; Martínez Carrasco, 2017) que destacan, entre otros aspectos, la capacidad para motivar al estudiantado dado que la traducción se desarrolla en un entorno real que imprime autenticidad a los encargos. Tomando como referencia tales experiencias que inciden en la mejora de la motivación y de las habilidades colaborativas del alumnado, en este artículo se expone un proyecto docente de traducción en Wikipedia en el par de lenguas alemán-español, orientado a la igualdad de género, para evaluar sus posibles beneficios y dificultades. La experiencia ha demostrado que los textos de Wikipedia requieren una adaptación textual con componentes similares a los de la traducción en el ámbito periodístico, donde se emplean técnicas de reducción y amplificación, así como de mejora estilística. La aplicación de estas técnicas, que otorgan mayor libertad al traductor, requiere una compleja toma de decisiones y, en este sentido, sirven de estímulo para el desarrollo de la capacidad crítica de los estudiantes.

Explorando os Impactos da Convergência e Divergência da Responsabilidade Sentida no Desempenho do Vendedor
Authors: Santos William Alexandre dos , Domingues Juliano
Published: June 2024

O papel do vendedor engloba compromissos e comportamentos que nem sempre podem ser operacionalizados sem conflitos. Tanto organização quanto cliente, por exemplo, são públicos que criam expectativas em relação à responsabilidade sentida pelo vendedor. Por vezes, ao mesmo tempo que recebe pressão para atender às necessidades da organização (demostrando uma responsabilidade para com a organização – RSO), por outro lado, o vendedor é cobrado para satisfazer às demandas do cliente (apresentando responsabilidade para com o cliente – RSC). Procurando compreender como o vendedor se comporta em uma situação de conflito em que precisa decidir entre atender às demandas da organização ou atender às demandas dos clientes, essa pesquisa examina a convergência e divergência da responsabilidade sentida do vendedor em resultados chaves de marketing, como o comprometimento com a estratégia da organização, comportamento de venda baseada em valor e desempenho em vendas. Para alcançar esse objetivo, uma coleta de dados foi realizada com 117 vendedores de empresas atuantes no mercado B2B. Por meio de análise de regressão polinomial com superfície de resposta, essa pesquisa identificou que o comportamento de venda baseada em valor é melhor quando há uma convergência entre RSO e RSC, mas o comprometimento com a estratégia só aumenta em situações de divergência, em que RSO é maior do que RSC. Por fim, os resultados mostram que tanto o comprometimento com a estratégia quanto a venda baseada em valor aumentam o desempenho em vendas. Os resultados dessa pesquisa permitem avançar na teoria de papéis aplicada ao contexto de vendas, ao evidenciar as consequências positivas e negativas do conflito entre a responsabilidade sentida do vendedor para com seu papel frente a organização e clientes.

A case of myeloid sarcoma with duodenal involvement presenting with exrtahepatic cholestasis
Authors: Erdoğan Mehmet Ali
Published: June 2024

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a hematologic malignancy composed of myeloblasts or immature myeloid cells presenting in the extramedullary region. MS frequently involves bone, soft tissue, skin, lymph nodes, as well as the genitourinary and gastrointestinal systems. We wanted to present a case of MS presenting with duodenal involvement. A 22-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain and jaundice. Laboratory values of total bilurubin: 7.75 mg/dl, indirect bilurubin: 6.7 mg/dl, GGT: 215 U/L. ERCP showed dilated choledochal dilatation with migrated stent and stenosis at the distal end. The existing stent was removed and a 10 FR 12 cm biliary plastic stent was placed proximal to the stenosis. Since hyperemic, erosion lesions were observed in the mouth of Oddi and duodenum, biopsies were taken from that region. The biopsy result was reported as primary duodenal myeloid sarcoma. MS should be considered in gastrointestinal lesions.

Published: June 2024

Bacillus thermoamylovorans is a species of bacillus that causes structural defects in milk by contaminating milk with its heat-resistant spores. We report a case of diffuse pustular rash on the extremities and bacillus thermoamylovorans bacteremia in blood culture after erythrocyte suspension replacement. On admission, his acute phase reactants were elevated and he had a generalized rash. After appropriate antibiotherapy, his lesions regressed almost completely. There is no case report of blood transfusion-associated bacillus thermoamylovorans bacteremia in the literature. This case is presented to contribute to the literature to show that Bacillus thermoamylovorans bacteremia may play a role in the etiology of pustular rash and infectious reactions associated with blood transfusion.
The impact of psychological factors on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes: a comprehensive review
Authors: Yurci Arzu
Published: June 2024

This comprehensive review explores the significant impact of psychological factors on the outcomes of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments. Despite the advancements in medical technology enhancing the physical success rates of IVF procedures, the psychological well-being of individuals undergoing these treatments plays a crucial role in their overall effectiveness. This paper delves into the various psychological stressors faced by couples, including anxiety, depression, and stress, and their direct correlation with IVF treatment outcomes. By examining a wide range of studies, this review highlights the importance of psychological interventions and support systems in improving the success rates of IVF treatments. Furthermore, it discusses the current gaps in the literature and suggests directions for future research. The findings of this review underscore the necessity of integrating psychological care into fertility treatments to address the mental health needs of individuals undergoing IVF, thereby enhancing their quality of life and increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes. Through a detailed analysis of existing research and methodologies, this paper aims to contribute to the understanding of the psychosocial aspects of IVF and encourage the development of more holistic treatment approaches.
A rare indication for appendectomy: acute appendicitis following ingestion of a foreign body
Authors: Aslan Orhan , Topçu Ramazan , Sezikli İsmail , Yüksek Mahmut Arif
Published: June 2024

Foreign body ingestion is mostly seen in the pediatric age group but can also occur accidentally or intentionally in adults. However, only about 20% of cases require endoscopic intervention, and less than 1% necessitate surgical intervention. Rarely, ingested foreign bodies can lead to acute appendicitis, requiring appendectomy. In the presented case, a patient who swallowed a screw seven days prior was closely monitored, and when the foreign body did not change position, colonoscopy was performed up to 20 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve without finding the object. As the patient developed tenderness upon abdominal examination, treatment was completed with appendectomy. It should be kept in mind that, although rare, acute appendicitis can develop in patients who have ingested foreign bodies and may require appendectomy.

Aims: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is commonly seen in patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), and is associated with a worse prognosis. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of PH in patients with ILDs and identify the markers that may predict this complication without invasive procedures. For this purpose, the correlation between mean pulmonary artery pressures and diffusion test, functional assessments, such as six-minute walk test, was invastigated.
Methods: The study group included 30 patients who were diagnosed interstitial lung disease between February 2010 and February 2011. Demographic and clinical characteristics, physiological studies, sixminute-walking test and high resolution computered tomography results were prospectively collected, and compared between patients with and without PH. Pulmonary hypertension was defined by right heart catheterization and results were compared between patients with PH and with non-PH.
Results: The study cohort consisted of 30 patients, of whom 14 patients (46.6%) had PH. When compared with non-PH subjects, patients with PH exhibited lower six-minutes-walk distance (415 ± 41 m vs. 260 ± 95 m, p <0.001), increased oxygen desaturation percentage during six-minutes-walk test (12.44±5,46 & 7.12±3.48), and decreased percentage of predicted FVC% (49±13.95 & 67±11.56), percentage of predicted FEV1% (52±13.2 & 73.5±12.43), and percentage of predicted DLCO% (38.8±13,7 & 65.3±11.23).
Conclusion: As a result, if there is a doubt about the decrease of pulmonary function tests and exercise capacity, patients with ILDs have to be investigated for pulmonary hypertension.
Key Words: Interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, six-minutes walk test, pulmonary functional tests.

Occupational cancers are cancers that result from exposure to carcinogens at work. Diagnosing occupational cancer expresses great importance in terms of public health. Because all occupational cancers are preventable as other occupational diseases. A detailed occupational history and careful questioning of exposure factors enable early diagnosis and prevention of occupational cancer. It is known that thyroid and skin cancers may occur due to occupational exposures. In this report, the coexistence of occupational thyroid cancer and occupational basal cell skin carcinoma is presented.

Kurikulum Merdeka represents Indonesia's strategic response to the demands of Society 5.0, an era marked by pervasive technology integration. As an educational innovation, it aims to cultivate future-ready individuals adept at utilizing technology, possessing competitiveness, and providing innovative solutions for society. The curriculum emphasizes developing 21st century skills like critical thinking, creativity, and digital literacy through student-centered, project-based learning and formative assessments. Key opportunities include nurturing an adaptable, tech-savvy workforce and aligning education with industry needs. However, challenges arise in teacher readiness for constructivist pedagogy, technological competence, and the need for continuous curriculum updates. Successful implementation requires enhancing teacher training, providing adequate technological infrastructure, and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration in curriculum design and evaluation. Policy reflection is crucial to optimize Kurikulum Merdeka's responsiveness to Society 5.0's rapid changes. By addressing opportunities, overcoming obstacles, and ensuring industry relevance, Indonesia can effectively prepare its youth to thrive in an increasingly digitalized world while driving sustainable societal progress. Proactive policy measures can position the education system as a catalyst for innovation and human capital development in the Society 5.0 landscape..

Published: June 2024

A pandemia da COVID-19 promoveu mudanças no estilo de vida de adolescentes devido ao distanciamento e isolamento sociais, maior tempo em comportamento sedentário, alterações na saúde mental, dificultando a prática de atividade física e seu fator protetivo. Com isso, o presente estudo objetivou avaliar a relação do tempo de tela e do exercício físico neste período e os efeitos desses comportamentos (sedentário e ativo) na saúde dos adolescentes. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura sob as recomendações do PRISMA nas bases de dados PudMed e LILACS, com 21 estudos incluídos. Verificou-se que o período da pandemia de Covid-19 impactou, de maneira significativa, negativamente, na saúde mental dos adolescentes e que o tempo de tela possui relação diretamente proporcional com a piora desse quadro, inversamente influenciado pela atividade física. Esta, quando mais praticada, promoveu a melhora da saúde mental e bem-estar quando associada com a diminuição no tempo de tela.
Sweetening the Deal: The Political Economy of Land Redistribution in South Africa’s Sugar Sector
Authors: Dyzenhaus Alex
Published: June 2024

Under what conditions do land transfers occur under land reform? Theories of land redistribution focus on demand-side explanations for land transfers where the state allocates land in exchange for support from voters or rural elites. In this article, I argue that land transfers under
market land redistribution are driven by supply-side characteristics of landholders. Using the case of South Africa’s sugar sector, I show that landholders chose to sell their land via redistribution when they had the economic incentive to preserve existing state-support frameworks and
had collective capacity from centralized institutions. To understand when and why land redistribution occurs, one must pay attention to the landholders’ relationship to the state and their internal sectoral organization. In some cases, landholders may have an incentive to redistribute
their land.
Exploration of budget, budgetary control and performance of public hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal, Durban
Authors:   , Fada Sinesipho
Published: June 2024

Budgeting and budgetary controls are instruments of financial management that are critical for the accomplishment of objectives and goals of an organisation. Hospitals are amongst vital organisations in every country that citizens rely upon to attend to their different injuries, ailments and more especially in times of crisis such as during the recent corona virus pandemic. It is in this vein that this work set out to explore the budget, budgetary control, and performance of public hospitals in KwaZulu–Natal, Durban. Seven hospitals were the subject of the investigation. The research employed quantitative data collection. A sample of seventy employees from different hospitals participated in the study. Data analysis relied on NVIVO and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The investigation discovered that poor budget planning and a low-income generation base make it difficult for these hospitals to meet their obligations as health care institutions. It is suggested that subordinates are always planning.
