“Sneaker Frenzy” : The Paradox of Unlimited Demand and Restricted Supply
Authors: Nijhawan Rudraksh
Published: February 2025

“Economics” as it is perceived by the Economists, is the study of production, distribution, and consumption which have two acclaimed divisions, ‘Macroeconomics’ and ‘Microeconomics’. While ‘Macroeconomics’ deals with the aspects of aggregate economic quantities, ‘Microeconomics’ deals with markets, consumers and businesses. Demand is essentially the willingness and ability of consumers to purchase a particular quantity of a product or service at a particular “price”; and the Supply is the willingness of sellers to offer a given quantity of a product or service, for sale, at a given price. Law of demand and supply is perceived as the theory which emphasises the interaction between sellers and buyers. While ‘demand’ is a confluence of ‘desire’-desire to acquire; ‘willingness’- willingness to pay and the ‘ability’-ability to pay, while ‘supply’ in economic terms connotes the quantity of a specified good or service that is available to consumers .

Sunk Cost Fallacy: Why We Miss Opportunities and How to Make Rational Decisions
Authors: Adhikari Bigyan , Agrawal Saaket , Baral Subhav
Published: February 2025

This paper investigates the influence of the sunk cost fallacy on Nepal’s socio-political environment, particularly its impact on both government projects and everyday decisions made by Nepali citizens. We conducted three surveys, each with 200 participants, to assess how social, economic, political, and religious factors shape this cognitive bias in Nepal. Along with this, we found various studies from Nepali scholars- which we then examined and compiled to provide a comprehensive perspective on how the sunk cost fallacy affects choices made by various sociopolitical groups. Our findings reveal that the deeply ingrained socio-cultural norms and economic uncertainties in Nepal amplify the sunk cost fallacy, leading individuals and institutions to persist with suboptimal decisions despite significant losses. This intricate relationship between socioeconomic circumstances and cognitive biases is clarified by this study, providing insights into the wider ramifications for individual behavior and policy-making in Nepal.
Policy Implementation and Stakeholder Engagement in Rare Disease Management: An In-Depth Analysis of India's National Policy for Rare Diseases (NPRD) 2021 and Ayushman Bharat Scheme
Authors: Danish Ms. Sumrah , Rasool Dr. Ishrat
Published: February 2025

The National Policy for Rare Diseases (NPRD) 2021 and Ayushman Bharat are key initiatives in India’s healthcare framework aimed at enhancing equitable access to medical treatment. NPRD provides a structured approach to managing rare diseases, which are often costly and complex, through financial aid and specialized Centres of Excellence (CoEs). Ayushman Bharat complements these efforts by providing health insurance for economically disadvantaged groups, although its coverage for rare diseases is still limited. This paper examines the roles of stakeholders such as Health Secretaries, Mission Directors, and Parliamentarians in the implementation and improvement of these policies, as well as the financial and infrastructural challenges they face. State-wise budget allocations and parliamentary advocacy are analyzed to understand how policy improvements can be achieved to benefit rare disease patients across India. Findings highlight existing gaps in resource distribution, accessibility in rural areas, and data tracking systems, suggesting that enhanced stakeholder collaboration and expanded insurance coverage are essential for effective rare disease management.
The Effect of Digital Leadership on Sustainable Development in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: The Mediating Role of Organizational Learning
Authors: Man Do Thi
Published: February 2025

This study analyzes the impact of digital leadership on sustainable development through the mediating role of organizational learning. The research data was collected from 376 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Thanh Hoa province, then a partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method was used to analyze the research data and test its hypotheses. The results found a positive impact of digital leadership on the organization's sustainable development as well as on organizational learning, in which digital leadership has a stronger impact on organizational learning than it does on sustainable development. Furthermore, it has been shown that organizational learning plays a mediating role in the relationship between digital leadership and sustainable development. Therefore, the research contributes to providing a conceptual framework supported by empirical evidence for the role of organizational learning in enterprises’ sustainability and the need for digital leadership through organizational learning towards sustainability. From the results, the author proposed a number of recommendations to leaders for accelerating organizational learning and improving sustainable development of enterprises.
Education for Peace in A World of Violence
Authors: Carrillo Zaldívar , Erasmo Miguel
Published: February 2025

This paper analyzes how the proposal of Education for Peace is insufficient to ensure that the world in which we live reaches the long-awaited era in which wars are not the way to solve global problems. The role played by hegemonic powers in the objective plane of existence is valued, fueling military conflicts in order to be able to dispute the resources of the world. Thus, it must be assumed they propose to the school to educate for peace in a world of violence, which will be a task overwhelmed by historical realities. According to the analyses developed in this work, education for peace must start by eliminating once and for all the poverty that overwhelms millions of human beings in the world. We cannot talk about peace in the name of the hunger and the impoverishment of millions of human beings, nor of the dispossession of resources from poor countries done by the most powerful ones.

Media Framing of Donald Trump's 2024 Election Victory: A Case Study on International Media
Authors: Setiawan Dani , Ananda Darra , Kartika Tina
Published: February 2025

This article analyzes the framing differences in the coverage of Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election by two international media outlets, Xinhua News and The Washington Post. Using Robert N. Entman's framing analysis approach, the study explores how the two media define the problem, diagnose the cause, make moral judgments, and offer treatment recommendations regarding the political and social divisions in the United States. Xinhua News tends to emphasize optimism and solutions for the country's healing, stressing the importance of overcoming social and economic tensions. In contrast, The Washington Post is more critical, highlighting the growing political distrust and the potential impacts of Trump's policies on human rights, immigration, and the economy. These framing differences reflect the influence of media in shaping public perceptions of leadership and political policies, demonstrating how the ideological stance of media outlets can affect their portrayal of a significant political event. This research provides insights into the dynamics of media and politics in the context of elections.

Authors: Tirkantara I Made
Published: February 2025

Kesetaraan gender merupakan isu yang terus menjadi perhatian dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan, termasuk dalam hukum. Artikel ini membahas bagaimana hukum berperan dalam menjembatani kesenjangan antara ketentuan hukum yang menjamin kesetaraan gender dan praktik sosial yang masih bias gender. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan analisis konseptual untuk mengkaji prinsip-prinsip kesetaraan gender yang tertuang dalam berbagai regulasi di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun berbagai ketentuan hukum telah dirancang untuk mendorong kesetaraan gender, implementasi di tingkat masyarakat masih menghadapi hambatan signifikan, seperti budaya patriarki, minimnya pemahaman hukum, dan kurangnya pengawasan terhadap pelaksanaan aturan tersebut. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sinergi antara pembaruan hukum, penguatan pendidikan hukum, dan perubahan sosial untuk menciptakan kesetaraan gender yang sejati.

Introduction: The umbilical cord (UC) typically contains two arteries and one vein. The presence of a single umbilical artery (SUA) is the most common anomaly associated with the umbilical cord and is linked to various congenital conditions. However, SUA can also appear as an isolated condition (ISUA), occurring without any accompanying fetal structural or chromosomal abnormalities.

Clinical case: The case involves a 37-year-old primiparous patient with inadequate prenatal care. She presents to our medical unit for the first time at 38.2 weeks of pregnancy, experiencing latent phase labor and presentation dystocia. The patient has been diagnosed with SUA since 21.5 weeks of gestation. The pregnancy was resolved through an abdominal delivery, resulting in the birth of a healthy newborn.

Discussion: Pregnancies involving fetuses with SUA are associated with an increased risk of various malformations, including renal, cardiac, nervous system, and gastrointestinal issues. These pregnancies may also lead to complications such as a small fetus for its gestational age, fetal growth restriction, abortion, preterm birth, and perinatal death. However, as illustrated in this case, SUA can occur without resulting in any adverse perinatal outcomes.

Introduction: Sporotrichosis is a mycosis caused by the fungus of the genus Sporothrix, of which six species related to human sporotrichosis are recognized, being the S. schenkii complex the most related to transmission in humans. The entry of the agent occurs by contact between the injured skin and the fungal spores, subsequently the fungal conidia are deposited in the host tissue and when introduced, become yeast. The fungus, now in its yeast-like phase, may remain at the site of entry or spread to other sites following the lymphatic vessels (1).

Case presentation: We present the case of a 62-year-old male patient with arterial hypertension of 6 years of evolution, gardener, who came to our unit due to the presence of blistering and ulcerative lesions (image 1) on the foot and ipsilateral thigh. He received empirical treatment by private means with acyclovir cream and oxytetracycline, due to the characteristics of the lesions he was treated for herpes zoster with standard dose Acyclovir, he was seen in an outpatient internal medicine clinic one week later. Due to persistence of lesions and scarce reduction in symptomatology, a diagnosis was made according to clinical history, dermal and biochemical pattern of probable mycosis, with emphasis on sporotrichosis or “gardener's disease”, initiating treatment with itraconazole fractional dose for four weeks, with weekly follow-up of the case.

Conclusions: At present, the diagnosis of S. schenkii, is of exclusion, in the face of predominant agents in the region. The most frequent clinical forms in humans are the fixed cutaneous form, the lymphatic form and the disseminated form; the latter has a poor prognosis due to its association with immunodeficiencies. Our case is an example of timely diagnosis with appropriate initial azole-based treatment, reflecting a successful case response, inviting the clinician to early integration
Predictors of the Higher Education Psychosocial Learning Environment: Students’ Perspectives
Authors:   Head of Academic Affairs,C. K. Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences, Navrongo., Yidana(PhD) Peter
Published: February 2025

Research indicates that the psychosocial learning environment in higher education substantially influences the quality of teaching and learning by shaping classroom instructional practices. However, the extent to which teachers’ communication style, classroom management strategies, and the classroom physical environment predict the learning climate remains largely unexplored. Using the structural equation modelling technique, this study aimed to determine how these factors predict the psychosocial learning environment in Ghanaian public universities. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, involving 403 students from four public universities in Ghana. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses validated the conceptual framework of the psychosocial learning environment. Structural equation modelling revealed that teachers’ communication style and classroom physical conditions positively and significantly predict the psychosocial learning environment in higher education. The study concludes that teachers’ classroom management style and physical environment jointly play critical roles in shaping the psychosocial learning environment, which encompasses students’ sense of belonging, emotional support, involvement, cohesiveness, interactions, cooperation, satisfaction, and task orientation. The researcher argue that these factors are essential and should be prioritised to enhance the higher education psychosocial learning environment. Teachers and higher education authorities must take deliberate steps to improve the classroom physical environment by providing necessary facilities and resources that ensure student comfort and security. Furthermore, improving the communication style and effectiveness of higher education teachers should be a key focus in initiatives aimed at enhancing teaching, learning, and student welfare. Future research should explore the impact of the psychosocial learning environment on students’ motivation and self-reported academic achievement."

A byte for arts: Digital applications meet artistic expressions
Authors: Ostermann Thomas
Published: February 2025

The use of artistic expression for diagnostics and therapy has a long tradition, which already started a century ago with psychological assessment tools using drawings to explore personality traits and inner emotions. With the advent of technical and digital achievements, these methods were adapted and integrated in corresponding therapeutic systems. This article outlines the relationship of arts and information technology from the very beginning in the fields of clinical and educational applications and human interaction aspects and gives examples of current developments. In particular, it illustrates the use of digital tools which focus on the process evaluation of arts therapies such as digital drawing applications to analyze the drawing process as a tool for the prediction of Alzheimer’s disease, or a digital device to analyze movement patterns in a landscaping task to investigate depressive moods. From a methodological point of view, these methods which integrate qualitative and quantitative research methods can be used to evaluate the impact of creative arts therapies even in small patient samples which is shown in two examples.

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Mild Dementia (MD) represent a growing challenge in Latin America, with an estimated prevalence between 11-28% in people over 65 years. Musical interventions have shown potential benefits for cognitive functioning and emotional well-being in this population. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the "MusiMentes" home-based musical intervention protocol on cognitive functioning and emotional well-being in patients with MCI and MD, as well as its impact on the patient-caregiver relationship. Methods: Single-blind, randomized controlled trial with 50 outpatients (50-80 years) diagnosed with MCI or MD and their primary caregivers. The experimental group will perform active and personalized musical interventions ("MusiMentes"), while the control group will engage in passive music listening, both for 30 minutes, three times per week for 12 weeks. Cognitive functioning (MOCA, MIS), executive functions (TMT, DST), emotional well-being (EADG, PANAS, WHOQOL-BREF, VAMS-R), and patient-caregiver relationship (SQCRC) will be evaluated at three time points: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and three-month follow-up. Relevance: This study will provide evidence on the effectiveness of home-based musical interventions in early stages of cognitive decline, contributing to the development of accessible and personalized therapeutic strategies in the Latin American context.
