A Widening Authority–Legitimacy Gap in EU Regulatory Governance? An Experimental Study of the European Medicines Agency’s Legitimacy in Health Security Regulation
Authors: Rimkute Dovile , Mazepus Honorata
Published: January 2023

Agencification in the EU stretches the confines of the European regulatory state to the maximum by extending to policy domains that were formerly the exclusive terrain of national institutions. Although the challenge to legitimize EU-level agencies is widely acknowledged, scant empirical research has been done on the conditions under which EU-level epistemic authority prevails or fails. To fill this gap, we examine whether EU agencies are perceived as more legitimate when the scientific nature of their regulatory outputs is made explicit and whether they start facing grave legitimacy challenges when national-level stakeholders signal disapproval with their scientific recommendations. We draw on a survey experiment with Dutch local politicians to study their legitimacy perceptions about the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and its mandate to authorize vaccines in view of cross-border health security risks. Our data suggest that the EMA is regarded as a highly legitimate agency and that disapproval by national-level politicians and citizens does not undermine its epistemic authority in the eyes of local decision-makers. This study contributes to the scholarship on non-majoritarian institutions’ legitimation imperatives by introducing novel research avenues and analytical tools to continue rigorous empirical testing of the well-established theoretical and normative claims.

Neuromarketing is an emerging interdisciplinary field combining consumer behavior, neuroscience and economics that can provide in advertising industry new strategies in order to correspond the new market situations in a more effective way than traditional marketing methodology can do. The integration of the Triple Brain in neuroscience, economics, and particularly marketing has played a crucial role, as the model is no longer the neocortex, the most significant section of the brain, and the one who sends instructions. In contrast, the primary function is played by the lower and middle brain, which are responsible for regulating emotions and human reactions, with an immediate impact on the creation of a person's behavior. The marketing effort through advertising (digital or not) must first target the reptilian brain of the consumer, then pass through the limbic brain's emotions and moods, and finally be able to be dealt with and processed by the neocortex, with the ultimate goal of increasing the marketer's likelihood of making a profit while simultaneously gaining the consumer's trust. This paper will present, in the first phase, a technique used on the core website of ZOPA financial institution (zopa.com), and in the second phase, this technique will be analyzed, in the context of neuromarketing, in terms of how it attempts to consolidate these messages from the three brain types (reptilian, limbic, neocortex) of the online visitor-consumer. As a result of the aforementioned strategies, ZOPA Bank's website, which takes advantage of the fundamental concepts of neuromarketing regarding how the threefold consumer brain processes information, is able to attract a growing number of internet visitors/potential consumers. The results indicate, among other things, that the adoption of digital neuromarketing methods in combination with digital marketing techniques is a significant tool for exporting and receiving conclusions in the decision-making process, particularly in the advertising and consumer behavior disciplines.
Most people’s life satisfaction matches their personality traits: True correlations in multi-trait, multi-rater, multi-sample data

Published: January 2023

Despite numerous meta-analyses, the true extent to which life satisfaction reflects personality traits has remained unclear due to over-reliance on a single method to assess both and insufficient attention to construct overlaps. Using data from three samples tested in different languages (Estonian, N = 20,886; Russian, N = 768; English, N = 600), we combined self- and informant-reports to estimate personality domains’ and nuances’ true correlations (rtrue) with general life satisfaction (LS) and satisfactions with eight life domains (DSs), while controlling for single-method and occasion-specific biases and random error, and avoiding direct construct overlaps. The associations replicated well across samples. The Big Five domains and nuances allowed predicting LS with accuracies up to rtrue ≈ .80 to .90 in independent (sub)samples. Emotional stability, extraversion, and conscientiousness correlated rtrue ≈ .30 to .50 with LS, while its correlations with openness and agreeableness were small. At the nuances level, low LS was most strongly associated with feeling misunderstood, unexcited, indecisive, envious, bored, used, unable, and unrewarded (rtrue ≈ .40 to .70). Supporting LS’s construct validity, DSs had similar personality correlates among themselves and with LS, and an aggregated DS correlated rtrue ≈ .90 with LS. LS’s approximately 10-year stability was rtrue = .70 and its longitudinal associations with personality traits mirrored cross-sectional ones. We conclude that without measurement limitations, most people’s life satisfaction is highly consistent with their personality traits, even across many years. So, satisfaction is usually shaped by these same relatively stable factors that shape personality traits more broadly. This paper has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
Semantic shifts in the Samoyedic basic vocabulary and their parallels. 4. Earth
Authors: Fedotova Idaliya
Published: January 2023

This paper is the fourth and final part of the series which investigates the cases of semantic shifts and protolanguage polysemy in the basic vocabulary of the Samoyedic languages. This research focuses on the shifts that have analogies in Turkic and Tungusic languages, identified with the help of semantic reconstruction. Special maps were created on the LingvoDoc linguistic platform to demonstrate areas of similar polysemy and semantic shifts, possibly contact-induced. Using materials from archival and expeditionary dictionaries, this paper proposes a detailed account of the available lexicon of the Samoyed languages within the scope of core lexicon. Our overall results show 15 semantic shifts in the form of polysemy, semantic evolution and cognates. The present paper investigates semantic shifts ‘earth, soil’ > ‘place’, ‘earth, soil’ > ‘sand, ‘earth, soil’ > ‘clay’, ‘earth, soil’ > ‘ashes’ and ‘sand’ > ‘pebbles’ in Samoyed, Turkic and Tungusic languages.

Menurut KBBI, waralaba adalah suatu kerjasama di bidang komersial dengan pembagian keuntungan berdasarkan kesepakatan, hak pengelolaan dan hak pemasaran. Namun menurut pendapat saya, waralaba adalah suatu kontrak di mana salah satu pihak berhak untuk menggunakan atau memanfaatkan hak atas kekayaan intelektual (HAKI) atau pertemuan karakteristik komersial milik pihak lain dengan biaya berdasarkan persyaratan yang ditetapkan oleh pihak lain sehubungan dengan penyediaan dan/atau penjualan barang dan jasa. Istilah waralaba juga merupakan gabungan dari kata wara yang artinya lebih dan laba yang berarti keuntungan. Waralaba di Indonesia sendiri diatur dalam Peraturan Pemerintah (PP) No 42 tahun 2007 tentang Waralaba. Bisnis waralaba juga banyak yang berkembang pesat di Indonesia, misalnya bisnis restoran, minimarket, kedai kopi, dan sebagainya.Dalam membangun sebuah bisnis, tidak sedikit ditemui orang menginginkan sesuatu yang instan. Sebagaimana yang telah dijelaskan sebelumnya bahwa waralaba juga dapat disebut konsep pemasaran yang berkembang menjadi konsep bisnis dan strategi perluasan. Waralaba juga mempermudah untuk mengatasi masalah SDM & Pendanaan karena terpolanya kerjasama sederajat antara franchisor & franchisee. Seperti contohnya tidak sedikit orang yang sudah mempunyai mimpi besar namun kekurangan modal untuk memperluas bisnisnya bertemu dengan orang yang memiliki modal namun tidak mempunyai ide tersebut. Sehinga terjadinya kerja sama tersebut. Hal ini berarti waralaba juga telah memanfaatkan dari skala ekonomi.

Tensor Gauge Boson Dark Matter Extension of the Electroweak Sector
Authors: Koorambas Elias
Published: January 2023

The existence of dark matter is explained by a new, massive, neutral, non-symmetric, rank-2 tensor gauge boson (Zμν-boson). The Zμν-boson can be predicted by the tensor gauge boson extension of the Electro Weak (EW) theory, proposed by G. Savvidy (2005). The non-symmetric rank-2 tensor Zμν can be decomposed into a symmetric (Z(μν)) and anti-symmetric (Z[μν]) part. Based on the non-Lagrangian formulation for the free sector of the R2-theory proposed recently by J.C. Criado et al. (2020), our massive anti-symmetric tensor field Z[μν] corresponds to the massive symmetric spinor field Zαβγδ in the (2,0) irrep. For the massive Zαβγδ with the Z2-symmetric Higgs portal couplings to a Standard Model (SM) particle, we compute the self-annihilation cross-section of the Zαβγδ dark matter and calculate its relic abundance. We also study the SM-SM particle scattering due to the exchange of the massive-Ⱬ(μν) symmetric field at a high energy scale. This proposition may have far reaching applications in astrophysics and cosmology.
Building numeracy skills: Associations between DUPLO® block construction and numeracy in early childhood
Authors: Gilligan-Lee Katie Anne , Fink Elian , Jerrom Lewis , Davies Megan , Dempsey Caoimhe , Hughes Claire , Farran Emily Kate
Published: January 2023

Research shows that children’s block construction skills are positively associated with their concurrent and later mathematics performance (e.g., Nath & Szucs, 2014; Verdine et al., 2014). Furthermore, there is evidence that block construction training is particularly beneficial for improving early mathematics skills in children from low-Socio Economic Status (SES) groups who are known to have lower maths performance than their peers (Bower et al. 2020a; Dickerson & Popli, 2016). This study investigates the association between block construction and mathematics in children who are approaching the age of formal education in the UK (4 years). It also investigates whether the relation between block construction and mathematics differs between children from more compared to less affluent families. Participants included 116 children (M = 3 years 11 months, SD = 3 months). All participants completed numeracy, block construction, and receptive vocabulary tasks. Socio-economic status and demographic information (child age, gender, ethnicity) were also obtained from parents. Regression analysis showed block construction accuracy explained 5.3% of the variation in numeracy after controlling for covariates. When separated by SES group, for children from less affluent families, block construction explained 14.9% of the variation in numeracy after covariates. For children from more affluent families, block construction explained no additional variation in numeracy. These findings highlight one possible intervention target for promoting maths-readiness in children of this age. More specifically, interventions involving block construction skills may help to reduce attainment gaps in UK children’s mathematics achievement.

Advancements in affective science and robotics have allowed researchers to consider how robots can express emotions appropriately in human- robot interaction. Borrowing previous work from the- ories of nonverbal expressions of emotion, we de- signed 24 distinct emotional expressions for a reading companion robot–Misty II. We validated the expres- sions with and without social context using crowd- sourcing methods. The current work aims to provide a publicly available set of emotional expressions for robots to advance research on emotional responsive- ness in human-robot interaction.
Properly addressing the issue of variation is crucial for improving our understanding of language as a cognitive faculty

In this paper we build on findings about the diversity of language functions, typological differences between languages, and sociolinguistic phenomena to sketch the prolegomena of a cognitive science of variation in language.
Hands-On: Investigating the role of physical manipulatives in spatial training
Authors: Gilligan-Lee Katie Anne , Hawes Zachary , Williams Ashley Yvette , Farran Emily Kate , Mix Kelly
Published: January 2023

Studies show that spatial interventions lead to improvements in mathematics. However, outcomes vary based on whether physical manipulatives (embodied action) are used during training. This study compares the effects of embodied and non-embodied spatial interventions on spatial and mathematics outcomes. The study has a randomised, controlled, pre-post, follow-up, training design (N=182; mean age 8years; 49%female; 83.5% White). We show that both embodied and non-embodied spatial training approaches improve spatial skills compared to control. However, we conclude that embodied spatial training using physical manipulatives leads to larger, more consistent gains in mathematics and greater depth of spatial processing than non-embodied training. These findings highlight the potential of spatial activities, particularly those that use physical materials, for improving children’s mathematics skills.
Increasing the Acceptability of Lethal Means Safety Counseling for Firearms: Tips and Scripts for Clinicians, Health System Leaders, and Researchers
Authors: Khazanov Gabriela , Keddem Shimrit , Hoskins Katelin , Simonetti Joseph
Published: January 2023

In lethal means safety counseling (LMSC), clinicians encourage patients to limit their access to common and lethal means of suicide, especially firearms. However, clinicians may hesitate to deliver this evidence-based intervention. By conducting a systematic review of the growing number of qualitative studies examining stakeholder perspectives on LMSC, we identified stakeholder-recommended strategies for clinicians, health system leaders, and researchers to increase LMSC acceptability. We conducted a pre-registered, comprehensive search for studies up to February 2021 using PubMed and PsycInfo. Thematic synthesis, with an inductive and iterative approach, was used to analyze findings. Eighteen studies examined the perspectives of a various stakeholders across multiple clinical settings on LMSC for firearms. Using relevant themes, we describe strategies and present scripts, rationales, and resources that may increase LMSC acceptability. Clinicians may approach LMSC in a nonjudgmental manner with awareness of their own biases, demonstrate cultural competency by acknowledging the role of firearms in patient’s lives, and adapt LMSC to patients’ previous experiences with firearms, safety, and injury. Clinicians can contextualize and provide a rationale for LMSC, decide whether or not to ask about access to firearms, and recommend a range of storage options tailored to the patient. Free locking devices or coupons for purchasing devices may be distributed. These strategies for potentially increasing the acceptability of LMSC for firearms are the first to be based on a comprehensive set of studies generated by diverse stakeholders. Future efforts should focus on testing them empirically and considering them alongside other relevant outcomes (e.g., feasibility, efficacy).

Popular wisdom has it that excessive material wealth leads to decreased prosocial behavior. This notion has empirical support in the literature, but there are open questions about how strong, specific, and general this effect is. Here, we aimed to test the hypothesis that increased SES is associated with decreased prosocial behavior in a high-powered laboratory task. We find thatthere are no statistically significant differences in generosity as a function of social class. However, there are subtle - yet statistically significant - patterns linking SES and dark triad personality traits. We conclude that the relationship between SES and social behavior isconsiderably more nuanced than commonly believed.
Comprehensive Computational Simulation Framework for Atypical Development using Hierarchical Bayesian Neural Network Model
Authors: Soda Takafumi , Ahmadi Ahmadreza , Tani Jun , Honda Manabu , Hanakawa Takashi , Yamashita Yuichi
Published: January 2023

Investigating the pathological mechanisms of developmental disorders including autism spectrum disorder is a challenge, because of the fact that the presented symptoms are a result of complex and dynamic factors such as genes, molecules, neural networks, cognitive behavior, environment, and developmental learning. In recent years, computational methods, including the Bayesian brain hypothesis, have been expected to provide a unified framework for understanding developmental disorders that explain the neurocognitive functions by describing the interactions between these factors. However, this approach is still limited because most studies have focused on cross-sectional task performance and lacked the perspectives of developmental learning (i.e., acquisitions of knowledge reflecting probabilistic and hierarchical structures in the environment). In this study, we proposed a new research method for understanding the mechanisms of the acquisition and its failures in hierarchical Bayesian representations using a state-of-the-art computational model, referred to as ``in silico neurodevelopment framework for atypical representation learning.'' Using the proposed framework, simple simulation experiments were conducted to examine whether manipulating the neural stochasticity and noise levels in external environments can lead to the abnormal acquisition of hierarchical Bayesian representation and reduced flexibility. Consequently, networks with normal neural stochasticity were able to acquire hierarchical representations that reflected the underlying probabilistic structures in the environment, including higher-order representation, and exhibited good flexibility. When the neural stochasticity was high, top-down generation using higher-order representation was impaired, although the flexibility did not differ from that of the normal settings. On the other hand, the networks with extremely low neural stochasticity demonstrated reduced flexibility and abnormal hierarchical representation. However, this altered acquisition of higher-order representation and flexibility was ameliorated by increasing the level of noises in external stimuli. These results demonstrated that our proposed method is useful for investigating developmental disorders with bridging multiple factors including the inherent characteristics of the neural dynamics, acquisitions of hierarchical representation, and external environment.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: We developed a mental health promotion campaign program to promote psychiatric help-seeking behavior among university students by adopting a social marketing approach and nudge theory from behavioral economics. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the campaign. The campaign focused on the illustration of cognitive function-related symptoms and was called the “Fatigue of Brain” campaign.Methods: This study retrospectively compared the duration until psychiatric consultation at health care centers in a Japanese university between data obtained from our previous study (2016-2018) with data from our newly developed mental health campaign (2018-2020). The campaign program included a small leaflet, given to all students during their physical examinations, which directed them to a special website.Results: The results of logistic regression analysis using data that met the eligibility and inclusion/exclusion criteria showed that the proportion of students (40.3%) who visited psychiatric consultations within two weeks of the campaign’s onset was significantly higher than the proportion of students visiting before the campaign (37.6%; OR = .578, 95% CI = .343 - .972, p = .039). Multivariate analysis revealed that the proportion of students with depressive symptoms (31.6%) was significantly higher during the campaign than before the campaign (17.3%; OR = .444, 95%CI = .234–.843, p = .013).Conclusions: The results suggest that our cognitive function-focused mental health campaign promotes earlier psychiatric consultation.
Modeling Preference Data with the Basic Local Independence Model
Authors: de Chiusole Debora , Brancaccio Andrea , Stefanutti Luca
Published: January 2023

The link between two probabilistic models named "true and error" (TE) model and basic local independence model (BLIM) is provided. The TE has been proposed in 2007 in the research ?eld on preference studies, whereas the BLIM was proposed in 1988 in the area of knowledge assessment. It is proven in this article that the TE is a special case of an adaptation of the BLIM to forced-choice pair comparison tasks. Moreover, a new version of the model, named sBLIM, is presented in which speci?c constraints on the error parameters can be introduced. The BLIM and the sBLIM were compared in both simulations and empirical applications.Results suggest that these two models are suitable also for studying human preferences. In fact, three well-known studies have successfully replicated, that is Tversky's experiment (Tversky, 1969) on the intransitivity of preference and the two experiments on the positive andnegative prospects by Kahnemann (1979). Finally, some new results about the identifiability of the BLIM arise. In fact, it seems that some identifiability problems that are common in the application of the model to knowledge assessment studies do not occur in the study of preference.
From generating to violating predictions: The effects of prediction error on episodic memory
Authors: Turan Gözem , Ehrlich Isabelle , Shing Yee Lee , Nolden Sophie
Published: January 2023

Generating predictions about environmental regularities, relying on these predictions, and updating these predictions when there is a violation from incoming sensory evidence are considered crucial functions of our cognitive system for being adaptive in the future. The violation of a prediction can result in a prediction error (PE) which affects subsequent memory processing. In our preregistered studies, we examined the effects of different levels of PE on episodic memory. Participants were asked to generate predictions about the associations between sequentially presented cue-target pairs, which were violated later with individual items in three PE levels, namely low, medium, and high PE. Hereafter, participants were asked to provide old/new judgments on the items with confidence ratings, and to retrieve the paired cues. Our results indicated a better recognition memory for low PE than medium and high PE levels, suggesting a memory congruency effect. On the other hand, there was no evidence of memory benefit for high PE level. Together, these novel and coherent findings strongly suggest that high PE does not guarantee better memory.
Post-Instrument Bias in Linear Models
Authors: Glynn Adam , Rueda miguel , Schuessler Julian
Published: January 2023

Post-instrument covariates are often included as controls in IV analyses to address a violation of the exclusion restriction. However, we show that such analyses are subject to biases unless strong assumptions hold. Using linear constant-effects models, we present asymptotic bias formulas for three estimators (with and without measurement error): IV with post-instrument covariates, IV without post-instrument covariates, and OLS. In large samples and when the model provides a reasonable approximation, these formulas sometimes allow the analyst to bracket the parameter of interest with two estimators and allow the analyst to choose the estimator with the least asymptotic bias. We illustrate these points with a discussion of Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson (2001).
The Role of Individual Characteristics and National Distancing Policies for COVID-19 Protective Behaviour among Older Adults: a Cross-Sectional Study of 27 European Countries.
Authors: Mikucka Malgorzata , Antczak Radoslaw
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVES: Evidence on how individual characteristics and distancing policies during the first wave of COVID-19 together influenced health behaviours is scarce. The objective of this study is to fill in this gap by studying how the propensity to engage in protective behaviours in Europe was shaped by the interplay of individual characteristics and national policies. DESIGN: Data on individual behaviour in 27 countries came from the “Corona Survey” module of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, collected in summer 2020. As outcomes, we considered avoidant behaviours (never leaving home, reducing frequency of walks, reducing frequency of social meetings) and preventive behaviour (wearing a face mask). Among relevant policies we considered stay-at-home restrictions, mask wearing policies, and gatherings’ restrictions. Individual characteristics comprised gender, health risk of COVID-19 (older age and poor health), and activity (employment and providing help to other households).PARTICIPANTS: Nationally representative samples of older adults (50 years and over); N=51,540 respondents (58% of women).RESULTS: Active people (employed and helping other households) were more likely to wear face masks, but less likely to use avoidant behaviours. People at health risk (older people and those in poor health) were more likely to use all types of protective behaviours. Protective behaviours were also more frequent among women than among men. Longer duration of distancing polices correlated with more frequent protective behaviours. Distancing policies reduced social differences in the rate of protective behaviours only in case of social meetings and mask wearing.CONCLUSIONS: Protective behaviours responded to distancing policies, but our results suggest that people used them voluntarily, especially if they were at health risk.

Digital technologies offer new communicative affordances to fight corruption. Bottom-up efforts increasingly use algorithmic tools, i.e., bots, to automate corruption reporting on social media platforms. This study investigates how to design a bot to effectively and responsibly mobilize people for collective action against corruption. In a large (n=1,331) pre-registered choice-based conjoint survey, we test six message design features: type of injustice, degree of injustice, anger, political partisanship, gender, and efficacy cues. Our results show that calling out cases of severe corruption mobilized people against corruption effectively. We find no empirical support for in-group favoritism based on political affiliation and gender. Yet, some commonly used design features can have contrasting effects on different audiences. We call for more social science research accompanying the technical development of algorithmic tools to fight corruption.
How neighborhood effects vary by achievement level
Authors: Borgen Nicolai T. , Zachrisson Henrik Daae
Published: January 2023

After long-standing calls for research into “for whom” neighborhood matters, the literature has recently gained traction, focusing on background characteristics such as gender, race, and socioeconomic background. However, there is still scarce and only indirect evidence on whether neighborhood effects vary by children’s academic proneness. In this paper, we combine the Neighborhood Choice Model with quantile regressions to investigate whether neighborhood effects vary by children’s achievement level. Using Norwegian register data, we demonstrate heterogeneity in the effects of neighborhood deprivation as a function of students’ proneness to academic achievement. Students at the very lowest and highest levels of academic achievement are the least affected by neighborhood disadvantage, while those with achievement below average—but not at the lowest end—are most strongly affected. Moreover, while girls are less affected than boys, and children from less educated and affluent families are more affected by neighborhood disadvantage than their more privileged peers, the effects of these observed moderators are considerably smaller than the heterogeneity observed as a function of academic proneness. Overall, our use of quantile regressions opens up new venues for understanding “for whom” neighborhoods matter, with individual-level academic vulnerability and strengths being an influential source of neighborhood effects variation.
Application of the double numbers in the representation of the Lorentz transformations
Authors: Torres del Castillo Gerardo Francisco
Published: January 2023

We show that the orthochronous proper Lorentz transformations that leave one of the Cartesian coordinates fixed can be represented by $2 \times 2$ unitary matrices with determinant equal to 1, whose entries are double numbers. This representation is employed in the calculation of the Wigner angle, which arises in the composition of two boosts in arbitrary directions.

Published: January 2023

A Graphical User Interface (GUI) teaching tool to teach different vectors modules to college and undergraduate students have been developed. The Physics and Mathematics students can benefit from these executable spreadsheets for practicing vector algebra with minimum inputs and through diagrams and answers as output. The spreadsheets are employed to calculate vectors resolution, addition, projection, and multiplication because they are ubiquitous. Some GUI on vectors available online gives the results, whereas this GUI shows the calculation steps to reach the results, which helps learn the subject effectively. The developed GUI also assists the mentors regarding their lab work and exams to make different papers with answer keys.
Effect of Asset-Liability Management on Bank Profitability: Evidence from Afghanistan Banking Sector

Published: January 2023

Much research has been carried out in various nations to examine the effect of ALM (Asset-liability Management) on Bank profitability. In developing nations, this issue of banks' profitability has attained relatively little attention. Existing literature, in the context of the Afghan commercial bank industry, has only related banks' endogenous factors and exogenous factors to banks' profitability and has not explicitly generated a clear relationship between balance-sheet both sides components (ALM) and the value of the bank. This paper attempted to find out the impact of Asset- liabilities components (AML), and macroeconomic factors on the banks' profitability, in the Afghanistan banking sector's context keeping control variables in place. The research was empirical in nature and the study period was between 2011 and 2021. The research population in Afghanistan consists of twelve commercial banks. The annual audited balance sheet, income statements of the commercial banks, national statistics, and World Bank dataset served as the source of secondary data. Random effect and fixed effect regression analysis was employed to analyze the data. The research accepts that there is a link between the majority of the categories of assets and liabilities, macroeconomics as their coefficients are confirmed to be statistically significant.
The Moderating Role of Environmental Concern between Green Advertising Practices and Consumer Green Purchase Behavior
Authors: Ahmadi Leena , Zazai Sadeq
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study is to know the effect of green advertising practices on consumer green purchase behaviour in the food and beverage sector of Afghanistan. The current study applies Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior (TPB) to evaluate the relationship between green advertising practices and consumer green purchase behaviour, including the additional predictors (green awareness, green products, and environmental concern). This study is based on a quantitative methodology. The survey based on a questionnaire was conducted with a convenient random sampling technique of the food and beverage sector consumers and a total of two hundred respondents were selected. The overall result of this study shows that three predictors significantly improve the TPB in the context of green advertising practices on consumer green purchase behaviour. This means there is a positive and significant effect of green advertising practices on consumer green purchase behaviour by considering the moderating role of environmental concern. Further, this study recommends that for future research the researcher can add more green advertising practices and increase the sample size. It is also suggested that companies emphasize green launch, use green labels or stickers on the front side of their products, ensure natural claim, sustain green profile and start using the concept of 3Rs (Reduce, Recycle and Reuse).
Determinants of Financial Inclusion in Small and Medium Enterprises: Empirical Evidence from Afghanistan
Authors: Hasham Mohammad
Published: January 2023

This study examines the determinant factors that influence financial inclusion among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Afghanistan. The study uses quantitative methodology with primary sources of data. More specifically, the study adopts a multiple linear regression model. The finding of the study reveals that; supply-side factors, demand-side factors, market opportunity, institutional framework factors, costs of borrowing, and collateral requirements have a positive effect on the firm’s access to finance. This study suggests concerned bodies sustain rapid and inclusive economic growth and hence eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, the policymakers must build an efficient, strong, and well-functioning financial market system that provides affordable and sustainable financial services to SMEs.
“CineSkovoroda”: Cinematic Update of the Biography
Authors: Nikoriak Nataliia
Published: January 2023

The article concerns the relevance of the issue of genre heredity between literature and cinema. The cinematography actively turned to the genre of biography even in the first decades of its development, in the era of the silents. It did not disappear from the view of cinematographers throughout the 20th century. Recently, this genre has been activated both in cinema and on television, which increased the interest of researchers. Hence, the receptive problematics of the Ukrainian philosopher, theologian, poet and teacher Hryhorii Skovoroda’s biography (1722–1794) is analysed in the cinematographic discourse. It was noticed that the figure of the outstanding philosopher did not attract the proper attention of cinematographers either in Soviet period (only one feature film and one documentary film were shot) or in the time of Ukraine’s Independence. However, even those few films only partially represent the “Ukrainian Socrates” to the viewer. It is stated that documentary production, in contrast to the feature films, is represented by a number of films about Hryhorii Skovoroda, which, of course, differ in their quality and creative potential. However, having an aesthetic and cognitive value, they all present a certain way of processing biographical material (letters, memories, stories of contemporaries), his writings and creative works (philosophical, literary, musical works) and perform an important function of popularizing this outstanding personality and his creative heritage. It is concluded that the cinematographic actualization of the philosopher’s biography and works in recent decades is due to the new historical situation, to the desire to perceive his legacy in a new light, to debunk the existing biographical myths. Skovoroda’s philosophical ideas not only remain relevant in the 21st century, but also appear as markers of Ukrainian identity in the modern reality.
