Economic and Statistical Analysis of Stock Market Performance in Lebanon
Authors: Agabekova N. V. , Abdo A. N. A.
Published: January 2022

Analysis of financial processes is an important and fast developing branch of statistics. Statistical analysis is a combined analysis. Statistical methodology refers to a system of techniques and methods aimed at studying quantitative patterns in the dynamics and relationships of socio-economic phenomena. The main feature of the statistical methodology is also the specificity of research, expressed in the inextricable connection of quantitative analysis with the establishment of a qualitative uniqueness of objects in the concrete historical conditions of place and time. The use of the techniques of mathematical statistics and other branches of mathematics (applied, in particular) becomes a technical means of implementation.
Lebanese stock market today is inactive and is shrinking. Historically, Lebanon had a relatively vibrant capital market in the Middle East before the stock exchange was closed for twenty years due to the civil war (1975-1995). Since its reopening in 1996, the stock market has been contracting. The establishment of Solidere in late 1990s and the renaissance of commercial banks energized the stock market for a while before the volatility of the market hold back.
The article analyzed the change in the main indicators of the Lebanese stock market for the period from 2012 to 2019. The study developed a statistical model for the decomposition of time series, which was led to identify the trend, seasonal, cyclical and random components.. The simulation results made it possible to establish the patterns of changes in the share prices of the three leading enterprises representing the construction, industrial and banking sectors of the Lebanese economy. The length and depth of short-period cycles in the studied indicators time series were measured. It was found that the depth of cyclical fluctuations increases with decreasing stock prices of Lebanon’s construction and industrial enterprises under the influence of both economic and political processes, while the cyclic recurrence of stock prices in the banking sector was less pronounced and was mainly determined by changes in the economy
African migration to Chad: diversity of ethnic groups as one of the motives for the choice of migrants
Authors: MAHAMAT MUGADAM MUGADAM
Published: January 2022

The mobility of the population of the African continent is not a new phenomenon. Intra-African migration has a close relationship with mobility, as every migrant dreams of better social, economic, and political conditions. In this article, the author touches on the topic of the diversity of ethnic groups and languages as one of the motives for migrants to choose the Republic of Chad. Chad is a link between the Maghreb and Black Africa, and a crossroads of trans-Saharan caravans and a cradle of nomadic civilizations. Today, emigration and immigration movements between Chad, Libya, Sudan, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Niger, and Nigeria constitute a basis of migratory dynamics. Chad is the first country to admit asylum seekers in Africa with a high number of refugees and asylum seekers which represents more than 3% of the Chadian population. The Republic of Chad was also an important stop on the pilgrimage route. There were many Muslims of African descent who made their way to the pilgrimage through Chad. Historical movements between the Republic of Chad and its neighboring countries provide an understanding of today's movements. These movements constitute the basis of the migratory dynamic of the Republic of Chad. The fact that we find shared communities on both sides of the border allows us to say that these particularly important cross-border exchanges are worth studying. Also, Chad alone has around 474,000 refugees and asylum seekers. Even if over the past two years the measures taken to fight the spread of the coronavirus infection (COVID-19) have slowed down the migration movement, the Republic of Chad now ranks among the top 10 countries of asylum in the world.
China's innovative development and challenges for the future
Authors: Shkvarya Lyudmila V.
Published: January 2022

Based on the information published in a number of primary documents (in particular, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the Program of International Scientific, Technical and Innovative Cooperation in 2006-2020, the 14th five-year Plan of Economic and Social development, etc.. The article analyzes the progress and results of the innovative development in China, as well as the goals and objectives of the country in this aspect until 2035. The author shows that China has been actively and consistently striving for an innovative breakthrough for decades as an opportunity to achieve leadership in the world economy, and has already recorded a number of achievements in this area. But the problem of China remains largely the continuing innovative and technological dependence on both Western countries and the Russian Federation. This is a serious deterrent for China - both in the technological and innovative spheres, as well as in the socio-economic system and foreign trade activities. At the same time, it is important for China to ensure sustainable and long-term development. In this regard, the main point of the state development programs in China is the task of becoming a "technologically self-sufficient" state, creating its own developments independently. To this end, China seeks to promote international scientific, technical and innovative cooperation as an equal, not a "junior" partner, as an innovator, not as an importer.
Female drug addiction in Afghanistan
Authors: Mitrofanenkova Olga E.
Published: January 2022

In recent decades, the problem of drug addiction to its population has become increasingly acute for Afghanistan. The growth of drug addiction here occurred during the period of a rapid increase in the volume of drug production within the country in the early 2000s. During this period, Afghanistan ceased to be not only a producer and exporter of drugs, but also became an active consumer of it. In this turn it led to the quick spread of drug addiction throughout its territory. This social problem is closely connected with the set of internal problems that already existed here. The growth of drug addiction has become a threat to the country’s national security. In this situation, a special place is occupied by the drug addiction of Afghan women, which has a destructive effect on some of the foundations and norms that underline the «daily» life of Afghans. The situation with drug addiction among women reveals the peculiarities of Afghan society and the difference in the position between men and women. The uniqueness of the Afghan society and its adherence to Islam are some of the factors that force researchers to consider the problem of female drug addiction in Afghanistan separately from males ones. A certain imprint on the perception of the current situation by the Afghans themselves is made by the position of women in society, which is fixed to her by age-old customs and traditions that are common among the majority of the Afghans’ population. In addition, the social role of woman and her place in society also have an impact on the formation of drug addiction, which has a significant difference from a similar phenomenon in other regions of the world. After Taliban came back to power in Afghanistan, the situation related to women’s rights remained uncertain for several months. In December 2021, an index was published that significantly expanded the rights of women.

Authors: Shiganova Julia
Published: January 2022

The article provides an overview of the key trends and dynamics of the development of China's foreign trade in 2020-2021. The PRC is one of the largest manufacturers, exporters, investors and consumer markets in the world, but in recent years, under the influence of various internal and external factors, trade wars with the United States, there has been a slowdown in its economic growth. At the end of 2019, China faced the spread of the COVID-19. China was the first to begin to fight an unknown disease and, in the context of the introduction of strict quarantine measures, experienced a double-digit drop in production, retail sales, and foreign trade. All this happened against the backdrop of the spread of the pandemic and the deterioration of the situation around the world. In 2020-2021 China has managed to overcome the economic downturn, exceed the dock-like indicators of socio-economic development, and strengthen its position as the largest participant in the world economic complex. The quantitative growth of exports and imports was accompanied by an improvement in the commodity structure, an increase in the number of foreign trade companies, the active inclusion of China's internal regions in the world economy, and a change in the vector of expanding cooperation with Asian neighbors. In the article, the author mentions the existing problems and restrictions that have a significant impact on the development of the country's foreign trade and the competitiveness of Chinese products. But even in the face of a global lockdown and recession, China has managed to set new economic records.

Published: January 2022

Background: Ketogenic diet (KD) is a beneficial nutritional plan consisting of low carbohydrate, high fat, and moderate protein levels and aids in amelioration of some metabolic disorders. The objective of this study is to develop a ketogenic diet model using cheap and readily available fiber sources. METHODS: Cabbage head and coconut fruits were obtained and processed into fiber and ketogenic diet chow. They were further analyzed using standard methods for proximate, mineral, and heavy metals, phytochemicals, and DPPH radical scavenging assay.RESULTS: Carbohydrate content of the samples were (3.35, 4.00, 3.16 and 2.08%) for cabbage feed, coconut feed, coconut fiber, and cabbage fibers, respectively. This conforms to the maximal 4% carbohydrate required for ketogenic diet daily allowable limit. Other nutrients such as lipids and proteins were in high and moderate amounts respectively. Phytochemicals were also present in varied proportions in the samples. CONCLUSION: The developed cabbage and coconut fiber is an appropriate fiber source for ketogenic diet preparation. They are rich in nutrients based on their mineral content. They may be positioned as a nutraceutical for therapeutic and disease prevention action due to their inherent bioactive chemicals and radical scavenging activity. They may pose negligible toxicity risks as the few detected heavy metals are within permissible limits. KEYWORDS: Fibers, ketogenic diet, cabbage, coconut, chemical analysis, and antioxidant

Published: January 2022

Background & Aims of the Study: Terfetalic Acid (TPA ) is produced in large quantities and used in various industries. Besides, TPA is among the main sources of water pollution in industrialized countries. TPA photo-degradation process was performed in a Circulating Fluidized Bed Reactor (CFBR) by one Ultraviolet type A (UV-A) lamp and ozone generator with MnFe2O4/Willemite photo-catalyst. Materials and Methods: In this research, the nanoparticles of MnFe2O4 and Willemite were synthesized by co-precipitation reactions and wet mixing method, respectively. Then MnFe2O4/ Willemite was synthesized by the immobilization of MnFe2O4 on Willemite by mechanical method. Full factorial experimental design with 4 factors, including the pH, the initial concentration of TPA, the amount of Catalyst (Cat.), and O3 dosage was used for modeling and optimizing the process. Results: In the optimal conditions, the amounts of pH, TPA, Cat., and O3 were obtained equal to 9, 20 ppm, 1.5 g/L, and 2.17 mg/h, respectively. In these conditions, degradation efficiency was obtained to be 98.2695%, and decomposition kinetics was determined as pseudo-first-order with Kapp=0.2707 min-1, kLH=3.729 ppm min-1, and kadd=0.051 ppm-1. Conclusion: Comparing experiments results in different processes, such as UV, UV-Cat, O3, UVO 3, Cat-O3, and UV-Cat-O3 revealed that photo-catalytic ozonation (O3/MnFe2O4/Willemite) in the presence of UV for degradation of TPA in an aqueous environment, present the higher efficiency.

Background & Aims of the Study: Virtual Social Networks (VSNs), as a major communication tool, affect different aspects of life in society members. Due to the lack of an appropriate questionnaire to assess the consequences of using these VSNs, this study aimed to design and determine the psychometric properties of a questionnaire using consequences of VSNs in users. Materials and Methods: This methodological research was conducted on 320 active users of VSNs in Qom Province, Iran, in 2018. Based on the purposeful literature review, 97 items related to various consequences of using VSNs were prepared. By assessing the face and content validity of the questionnaire, using the opinion of an 8-member expert panel, the items were quantitatively and qualitatively reviewed and reduced to 32 items. Furthermore, the reliability of the questionnaire was determined by examining the internal correlation of items by calculating the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and the validity of the questionnaire was examined by a testretest method using SPSS v. 20. Finally, to evaluate the tool’s structural validity, exploratory factor analysis was performed using LISREL 10.3. Results: After determining the validity and reliability, a 7-factor questionnaire with 22 items was obtained. The content validity ratio and index values of all items were obtained to be more than 0.75 and 0.79, respectively.

Published: January 2022

Background: Radiotherapy is one of the cancer treatment methods. Although radioresistance and normal tissue toxicity limit the radiation therapy in certain anatomical locations, using some substances can be useful to increase radiosensitivity on cancer cells without cytotoxicity effect on normal cells. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the radiosensitizing effect of tolmetin in radiotherapy treatment on human colon cancer cell line HT-29. Methods In this study, human colon cancer cells HT-29 in different groups were irradiated with 4 Gy x-ray, and tolmetin was administered in different concentrations (75, 100, and 150 μM). Then, the groups were compared with each other and with the control group by Micronucleus Assay (MN) and Nuclear Division Index (NDI). NDI investigated the cytotoxicity, and MN indicated the genotoxicity. Results: In the group receiving radiation, micronuclei increased significantly compared to the control group. In the group receiving tolmetin with a concentration of 75 and 100 μM, the number of micronuclei also increased compared to the control group. In all groups treated with tolmetin that also received radiation, a significant increase in micronuclei was observed, which was more noticeable at concentrations of 100 and 150 μM. At the same time, tolmetin at the studied concentrations did not change the NDI index. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that tolmetin has a radiosensitizing effect on HT-29 colon cancer cells, which depends on the tolmetin concentration. In addition, tolmetin has no cytotoxic effect on this cell line.

A multicountry macroeconometric model for the Eurasian Economic Union
Authors: Bolatbayeva Aizhan
Published: January 2022

This paper introduces a multicountry macroeconometric model for the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The model consists of five single-country models of the union member states: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia. The purpose of the research is to explain the structural relationship between the economies, evaluate the impact of internal and external shocks, and analyze the transmission mechanism of shocks across countries. The single-country models are linked to each other by the equations of bilateral trade and bilateral exchange rate. We find that the model fits actual data on main macroeconomic indicators of the countries in a dynamic ex-post simulation over 2004–2018. We also evaluate the effect of world trade and monetary policy shocks on the economies of the EAEU member states.

Authors: Zazdravnykh Evguenii A. , Aistov Andrey V. , Aleksandrova Ekaterina A.
Published: January 2022

In this study we estimate the income elasticity of spending on different healthcare services and medication in Russia, taking into account the non-linear relationship between income level and expenditure. We employ the RLMS-HSE data, 2006–2017, to estimate the elasticities at household level. Our findings show these elasticities have not changed over the years. Additionally, we show that low-income and high-income households demon­strate different levels of elasticities, which is consistent with the fact that healthcare is less affordable for the poor. The study confirms that healthcare and medication are close to luxury level for low-income households and drugs are almost income inelastic for rich households. The results could help to reveal which services are the least affordable for the population.

MAIN THREATS TO THE FORMATION OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM OF BANKS CREDIT ACTIVITIES
Authors:   National Academy of Management, Antonova Olena
Published: January 2022

The article considers the main threats to the formation of the security system of credit activity of banks. It is proved that the security of banking institutions is multifunctional and complex. This is an important component of national security, which is characterized by balance and resilience to external and internal threats, its ability to achieve its goals and generate sufficient financial resources to ensure sustainable development. It is proposed to consider the security of banking activities as the security of the bank, banking staff, security of banking operations, as well as the security of the bank's shareholders, competitors of the bank and partners of the banking institution. After analyzing the approaches of scientists to understanding the concepts of "threat" and "danger", we give our own understanding of the term "threat to credit activity", which means explicit and implicit actions of competitors, borrowers and bankers aimed at lending operations institutions and need active and passive actions to reduce their negative manifestation. Threats to the security of banks' lending can be divided into two major groups - internal (microeconomic) and external (macroeconomic). External (macroeconomic) threats include factors that are the result of the impact of the external environment on the bank's lending activities. Internal (microeconomic) threats include factors that are either directly generated by the bank or are part of its internal environment. The deepening of the crisis in the economy of Ukraine requires an objective and unbiased assessment of the security of credit activity of banks in order to timely diagnose and prevent threats, as well as develop an adequate and effective strategy for managing credit security of banks. The development of an effective mechanism for improving the level of credit security of banks should be based on the assessment of threats to this security. The completeness, timeliness and effectiveness of management measures to eliminate, prevent and prevent existing and potential threats to lending activities largely depend on an adequate assessment of the current level of security of the bank's lending activities.

Published: January 2022

The article considers topical issues of scientific research aimed at implementing such changes that would comprehensively address social problems and imbalances and would contribute to public welfare. The social orientation of the economy of our state is recognized as a priority � the life of modern Ukrainian society is the main goal of the development of the state and social economy. It is proved that the peculiarity of the social economy lies in the organic economic component with the social and in their inseparable interdependence and interdependence. Therefore, the social economy is an economy focused on the development of the individual and the achievement of social progress. It is established that the stabilization of economic, political and social life of modern Ukrainian society is the main goal of state development and social economy. It is determined that the main purpose of the social economy is the need to ensure the free development of man, a decent level and quality of life of every citizen and the population as a whole. The means to achieve this goal is a dynamically developing economy. As is known, the functions of social security include the establishment of the level of the minimum wage as a social guarantee aimed at increasing the income level of the population and improving living conditions. The issue of wage organization is one of the most important in the system of socio-labor, socio-economic relations; wages are an element of national policy, and therefore their regulation should be balanced and at the state level. One of the main levers of state influence on the organization of wages at enterprises is the provision of social guarantees in the remuneration of employees (minimum wage, wage rates, other guarantees and compensations). The most important component in the system of state social guarantees is the minimum wage, the effectiveness of which depends on the model for calculating its value. The model of management of formation and development of social economy of Ukraine is offered that demands active participation of the state in management of processes of functioning of a social infrastructure and key spheres of life.

Published: January 2022

Despite the roles and functions of natural forests on the livelihood of the rural communities, their economic values are poorly reflected in market considerations and largely ignored in the decision-making process. There is inadequate empirical evidence detailing forest management preferences in developing countries, including Volcanoes National Park (VNP) in Rwanda. VNP has a considerable contribution to Rwandan rural livelihood, global environmental protection and cultural heritage. This study aimed at assessing the monetary values farmers attached to VNP. A Choice Experiment approach and Conditional Logit model were used for a sample of 192 farmers living along the park corridor using a semi-structured questionnaire. Data obtained were analyzed using Nlogit 3.0. The results showed that farmers preferred to improve the current VNP management and were willing to pay for its participatory management attributes. Farmers’ characteristics significantly influenced preferences. The findings have an implication on programmes that improve the current park management and on the design of vocational, farmer groups and gender-based environmental awareness and promotional programs.
Shakespeare and Intellectual Castration in the Arab World: Hamlet as a Detached Arab Intellectual in Jawad Al-Assadi's Forget Hamlet
Authors: Abushalha Ziad
Published: January 2022

This study aims at investigating the crises of the Arab intellectuals under the policies of some Arab regimes. It analyses Jawad Al-Assadi's Forget Hamlet as an example of this political oppression that targeted Arab intellectuals in the Ba'athy Iraq, headed by Sadam Hussien. The study discusses the theme of the neutral Arab intellectual who kept a silent position in a time of political crisis. It traces how Hamlet in this adaptation was dramatized as a hapless and inactive intellectual to mock those Iraqi intellectuals, in particular, and Arab intellectuals, in general, who succumbed to power and avoided speaking truth to the oppressive regimes. After analyzing the scope of intellectualism in the play, the study discusses how Hamlet became a signifier to reflect the Arab intellectual crises in a time of political oppression.

The employment of instructional technology in teaching and learning has becoming a crucial requirement among teachers and educators especially in the 21st century education. Moreover, the current global emergence situation of COVID-19 pandemic has been forcing educators towards using various online platforms and technologies In Malaysia, universities have scrambled to move the program to an electronic platform to tackle the proliferation of COVID-19 under the national Movement Control Order (MCO). Malaysia’s 20 public universities including Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia was to encourage or mandate online learning for various major languages including Arabic. During this difficult period, Arabic lecturers might need more training to allow them to have an in-depth understanding of how technology can improve learning and motivate their students to learn. The researchers employed responsive semi-structured interviews, which allowed the respondents to share about their teaching practices and how technology motivated them to be more creative in their teaching practices during MCO. The result indicates that online learning can be a solution for the Arabic language educators and practitioners to share their knowledge by using e-Learning or other platforms as education needs to be conducted during MCO. One of the online learning benefits is lecturers become motivated and students become active when they learn using online learning as they are the ones who take responsibility for their learning.

Published: January 2022

Higher educational centres with significant numbers of young people will become acute disease hubs during a pandemic. Owing to the sizeable population of young adults, more direct social interaction, and unrestricted boundaries, universities have the capacity to become volatile, centrifugal outbreak hubs. This research examines the university student’s knowledge, attitude, and practice towards the COVID-19 pandemic in Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), Nilai. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to obtain the data and analysed utilising SPSS software with a sample size of 2061 USIM students. Descriptive statistics, Likert scale analysis, multiple linear regression, as well as Pearson correlation, were used to identify the relationship between KAP. It was discovered that most of the USIM’s students have an excellent knowledge (85%) and attitude (73.8%) towards COVID-19. However, they moderately practice the right steps to prevent themselves from virus infection. This is very likely due to unpreparedness in responding to a critical situation such as this pandemic. In other words, it can be said that although students have a pretty good knowledge on the matter, still, attitude and practice have much room for improvement. The study finds significant relationship between practice and both knowledge and attitude.
