Transient Ischemic Attack and Admission to a Dedicated Unit
Authors:   , Davini Bandi
Published: December 2022

Transient ischemic attacks account for admissions of approximately 70% of patients who present to the emergency department with transient vascular symptoms, with an average length of stay of one to seven days, costing, on average, $22,087 (Qureshi et al., 2013). A hospital organization's bed efficiency directly affects quality metrics. Reducing the length of stay in TIA patients by having them admitted to a dedicated unit with whom the staff has experience managing stroke patients and the understanding of specific criteria needing to be met before discharge can directly impact quality metrics and provide cost-effective delivery of care. The PICOT question that guided this project was, in patients who present to the emergency department with a transient ischemic attack (TIA), how does the implementation of a rapid, protocol-based pathway for admission to a dedicated stroke unit versus conventional admission methods decrease the length of stay over eight weeks? The evidence for this project revealed several articles establishing that a protocol-based pathway initiated in the emergency department could reduce the length of stay in the specified group. Additional evidence indicated the use of an algorithm and ABCD2 scoring in conjunction with meeting 'Get with the Guidelines' criteria provided a reduction in cost to the organization (see Table 2). Using a rapid, protocol-based pathway, in collaboration with emergency department physicians, general neurologists, and other clinicians, and the ABCD2 score assisted with diagnosis and direct admissions. A checklist was provided to the dedicated unit staff to ensure all criteria for admission and discharge were met. The results of this project demonstrated patients were being discharged at 2.84 days, slightly above the national average of 2.24 days. These results indicated an increase but withstanding efficacy of assessment and treatment. The reason for the subtle increase was secondary to patients with incidental findings requiring intervention increasing the length of stay for recovery.
Weekly Telehealth Weigh-in for BMI Reduction
Authors:   , Ahmad Kelly
Published: December 2022

Practice Problem: The citizens of the United States are known for being overweight or obese. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2021) reported that approximately 74% of adults are either overweight or obese. PICOT: The PICOT question that guided this project was In overweight adults (P), does telemonitoring weekly for counseling and weigh-in (I) compared to current practice (C) decrease BMI over an 8-week period of time (T)? Evidence: The citizens of the United States are known for being overweight or obese. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2021) reported that approximately 74% of adults are either overweight or obese and it is hard to lose weight. Lifestyle interventions are more effective if the patient has one on one support with a medical provider (Kempf et al., 2018). Intervention: The intervention to improve BMI is weekly weigh-ins through weekly telemonitoring visits with the medical provider. Outcome: The results showed there is not a statistically significant improvement in BMI using telehealth for weekly weigh-ins over an eight-week period of time. Conclusion: This project was to use telehealth for weekly weigh-ins and support to reduce BMI by one point over an eight-week period of time. The results did not show a statistically significant improvement in BMI even though there was an overall improvement in the average BMI and weight of the participants. To improve this project in the future, further research will need to be conducted to identify additional interventions that may yield better results. One of the changes I would suggest is a longer period of time (than 8 weeks) for the project to be conducted to get better results.

Authors: Kumar Sheo , Gupta Pratibha
Published: December 2022

Fifty five wetlands comprising bils (32), dighis (7), jhils (2), pond/pukur (8) and rivers (6) distributed in 13 administrative blocks of Maldah district were surveyed and characteristic features were studied for occurrence of different types of aquatic plants, their categories and local environmental conditions. During the study, altogether 37 aquatic plant species were identified, belonging to Algae and Bryophytes (one species each), 3 species to Pteridophytes and 32 species to Angiosperms (7 species to Monocots and 25 species to Dicots). Depending upon occurrence of these plants in and along the wetlands, they have been categorized into 5 categories namely freefloating and bottom rooted floating (7 species each), submerged and emergent (6 species each) and littoral (constitutes 11 species). Occurrence of free floating Azolla pinnata R.Br. having symbiotic relationship with Anabaena azollae Strasb. in a few wetlands was remarkable. Besides, most of the observed wetlands have either been extinct and/or on the verge of extinction, needs for their restoration and protection to save the aquatic biodiversity (including micro flora and fauna).
Slavery in Dutch Guiana and the Dutch Colonial Ethos
Authors: Boltaevskiy Andrey A. , Agureev Stanislav A.
Published: December 2022

The subject of this article is the economic system that has developed in the Netherlands Guiana, based on forced slave labor. The degree of cruelty of this system over the past centuries has been mythologized by both contemporaries of the events and later researchers. Today in Netherlands, at the highest official level, the era of colonial slavery has been condemned but at the same time it was recognized as a part of national history, which is largely due to the influential Caribbean community. However, the attitude towards this topic in society remains extremely polarized, becoming the subject of manipulation by populist and nationalist forces.

The work is based on a wide range of foreign sources and research; the methodological basis includes the historical, genetic and comparative methods. The scientific novelty of the article is connected with the poor study of the topic in domestic science. A comparative study of the situation of slaves in the Western Hemisphere has shown that toughness was not unique to the Dutch colonial ethos. The high mortality and hardships of slaves in the Netherlands Guiana and the Caribbean are due to the specifics of sugar plantations, and not to a greater degree of racism compared to Iberoamerica. The author draws attention to the gradual progressive evolution of all slavery regimes on the American continent.
On the Far Frontiers
Authors: Kolomiets Oxana P.
Published: December 2022

The author describes an ethnic Chukchi village of Meynypilgyno, located on the border of the Chukchi and Kamchatka Peninsulas. In recent decades, the ethno-linguistic picture of this village has significantly deteriorated: there are no speakers of the Kerek language left. According to the 2010 census, there was one person in Meynypilgyno who considered himself a Kerek. Over 90% of the villagers are Chukchi. The Chukchi language remains the language of communication for the older generation. The newcomers tend not to settle in this remote area. So far, the inhabitants have preserved some elements of traditional nomadic reindeer breeding and sedentary coastal cultures: they hold annual holidays, such as Kilway, the day of reindeer birth, and Vylgyk'oranmat, the day of fine-wool reindeer slaughter, continue to perform some rites and rituals, such as the burning of the dead, as well as go fishing and hunting for small pinnipeds.

The work provides a description of the phenomena occurring in the life of the village: its rapid renovation of the infrastructure, including the construction of a new school, new houses and a modern floating fish processing plant; its changes in everyday life; the formation of new lifestyles, including the “revival” of marine mammal hunting and the creation of deer farming; and, finally, its adaptation to the market conditions, including an attempt to create private farms as well as develop trade and services.
The Far Eastern Frontier of the 1990s
Authors: Vashchuk Angelina S. , Vorontsov Nikolay S.
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the process of changing the content of the frontier over time, under the influence of radical liberal reforms. The development of the borderlands in dynamics is shown, taking into account the foreign policy factor. The vector of changes is revealed within the framework of the economic component and the mission of the Far East in modern national history and in the history of the development of Asia-Pacific Region (APR). A complex of political factors in the transformation of the frontier is revealed. It was concluded that the main feature of this process was various forms of reducing Russia’s military presence in the region, partial demilitarization and the destruction of the military-industrial complex in the 1990s, and the acquisition of new characteristics by the Far Eastern borderlands. The authors come to the conclusion about the dominant role of the political factor in the transformation of the character of the Far Eastern frontier. Conversion and market reforms led to a rapid degradation of the material and social infrastructure of the frontier territories, where in the 1990s the military-industrial complex enterprises were city-forming. The ways of adapting the region to market relations turned the border area into a kind of trading factory; various flows of labor and different forms of organization of enterprises were involved. The first attempts to organize Free Economic Zones and joint ventures, as well as to implement the initial stage of the project of international transport corridors, contributed to the genesis of new features of the Far Eastern frontier.
“From the Capital, Forever Donated by Him...”
Authors: Komleva Evgeniya V.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the problem which is insufficiently studied – the formation and spread of the practice of making endowments as a form of charitable donations based on the example of the activities carried out by Siberian merchants of the 19th – early 20th centuries. The purpose of the study is to provide a holistic overview of the activities of these merchants in the considered region. As a result of the study, about forty cases of the collective and individual endowments of Siberian merchants as well as their names and the size of their contributions have been identified based on the scientific and reference books, literature and archival sources. Moreover, the spheres, for which such donations were sent, have been analyzed. The connection between the development of the institute of endowments and the peculiarities of the credit and financial system of the region has been pinpointed. The results have also shown that the first endowments in the region appeared in the 1830s, but became more widely spread in the post-reform period. Most of such contributions were meant to support public education, the poor and medical institutions. Furthermore, one part of these target capitals was directed to support scientific research, orthodox churches and urban improvement. Special attention is paid to the history of creation and functioning of the Irkutsk orphanage house of E. M. Medvednikova. It is concluded that the practice of making endowments reflected the worldview of merchants and public moods. The article is intended both for historians as well as the widest circle of readers.
The Mechanisms of Constructing the Image of the Far Eastern Provincial City in the Soviet and Post-Soviet Periods
Authors: Shusharina Galina A. , Petrunina Zhanna V.
Published: December 2022

The article presents an analysis aimed at identifying an axiological strategy of forming a positive image of Komsomolsk-on-Amur in different historical periods. When creating a positive image of a provincial city, a regional identity is formed, which contributes to solving one of the most pressing problems for the Russian Far East, related to the need to preserve human resources.

The paper examines the modern stage of forming a positive image of the city based on the example of the electronic version of the newspaper “Far East Komsomolsk-on-Amur”, since the media have different functions in the modern society, including the informative and ideological functions. The identified ways of creating a positive image include building a new model of life during the construction of the city, aimed at a bright future of the city which is full of cultural events, spreading information about happy life in the city by fixing and informing the whole country about the achievements of Komsomolsk-on-Amur residents and updating information about the heroic past of the city. So far, the methods influencing the image of Komsomolsk-on-Amur have not undergone significant changes since the Soviet times. Therefore, the analysis of the texts taken from the city's newspapers has made it possible to determine the leading dominants in the axiological strategy of creating a positive image of Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
A Comparative Analysis of the Socio-Demographic Development of the Cities in Siberia and Amazonia in the second half of the 20th century
Authors: Pavlyukevich Ruslan V. , Gonina Natalya V. , Sminova Ekaterina V.
Published: December 2022

The article examines the prospects of using a comparative analysis in the study of the socio-demographic processes in the Northeastern regions of Brazil (Amazonia) and Siberia. The authors hypothesize that one of the optimal cases for comparison with Siberia is Amazonia. A comparative analysis suggests that the compared cases (a set of objects, phenomena and processes) should have a number of similar and distinctive features, while at the same time having tangible differences. Despite the seeming heterogeneity, Amazonia and Siberia have many similarities. Among the elements of similarity, the frontier position stands out in the first place. Both Siberia and Amazonia were the regions of European colonization. Throughout the 20th century, Siberia continued to be a relatively undeveloped territory, in fact, still being a frontier. Brazil's Amazon plays a similar role. Both regions have a similar economic profile and act as resource regions that are rich in timber, metals and other minerals as well as having similar energy profiles. The article highlights that the development in both regions peaked in the second half of the 20th century, and also discusses similar phenomena in the demographic processes in these regions. The findings have allowed the authors to formulate the main directions for further comparative analysis of the socio-demographic development of the large urban centers in Siberia and Amazonia.

Authors: Pinheiro Marcelo de Medeiros , Oliveira Thauana Luiza de
Published: December 2022

A hiperostose esquelética difusa idiopática (DISH) é uma condição sistêmica caracterizada pela progressiva calcificação de ligamentos e ênteses, tanto axiais quanto periféricas, e com fisiopatogenia ainda desconhecida. Os principais fatores de risco associados são envelhecimento, obesidade e síndrome metabólica. Na maioria das vezes, o diagnóstico é incidental e realizado por meio de métodos de imagem solicitados por outras condições não relacionadas à DISH. A evolução dos sintomas é lenta, mas pode ser progressiva, incluindo dor torácica, lombar e/ou cervical; rigidez axial e articular; sintomas de compressão radicular (parestesia, claudicação e fraqueza em membros inferiores) e dor mono ou poliarticular. O principal método de imagem na DISH é a radiografia da coluna vertebral, que caracteristicamente mostra a presença de calcificação do ligamento longitudinal anterior, com aspecto ondulante, sobretudo no lado direito da coluna torácica. A entesopatia periférica ou extra-axial também pode ser encontrada, particularmente em pés e joelhos. Neste artigo os autores revisam os diversos critérios de classificação vigentes, sobretudo os propostos por Resnick e Niwayama.

Published: December 2022

In the study, the author considers the concept of building simulator systems of vehicles based on theoretical justification, creation and construction of technical systems according to modular principles. The modern view of the process of creating training systems is based on the principles of strict compliance of each object of imitation to its purposefully created training system. The use of modular principles of creating training systems allows you to solve problems related to increasing their efficiency and reliability. This approach corresponds to the concept of creating universal, adaptive training systems: a limited number of training systems - the maximum number of simulation objects. The concept of modular training systems is a novelty, which is distinguished by the fact that in the presence of modules there is a possibility of quickly changing the functional purpose of the system, while the number of modifications of training systems is significantly reduced. The modern development of scientific and technical progress, modern equipment and technologies in the vast majority is carried out according to the principle of modular creation of various technical devices, which differ significantly from each other in the principle of operation, physical parameters and intended use. The "Trainer" module can be represented by any design solution and consists of a fixed support, a frame, a turning mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a balancing mechanism, a turning mechanism of the cab, which is an element of connection with the "Cabin" module through a universal base. The application of the principle of modular construction in exercise equipment will allow to create a single system of construction of exercise equipment and exercise equipment, which in turn provides an opportunity to establish uniform requirements for exercise complexes and methods of their evaluation and comparison. This modular approach to the construction of simulators will determine the maximum economic and technical result of the implementation of simulator equipment.

The article substantiates the dependence of the effectiveness of ensuring the survivability of weapons and military equipment on the levels of intensity of countermeasures against various factors, which are characterized by the capabilities of technical means of countermeasures against the enemy's intelligence and firepower and the capabilities of his forces and means. It is the presence and timely use of opportunities and resources that will contribute to the preservation of the functions of the weapon and its restoration in case of damage. These factors in a generalized form include the counteracting effects of various modern and promising means: on the one hand, reconnaissance and enemy fire; on the other - masking of military equipment in position, movement on the march and preparation for the functioning of weapons and equipment, first of all, through the creation and wide practical application of broadband radio absorbing materials with the necessary properties of absorbing the energy of the electromagnetic field to reduce their visibility.
The requirements and possibilities of effective protection of weapons and military equipment using broadband composite polymer ferrite materials that absorb the energy of waves in the microwave and infrared wave ranges of technical intelligence radar and thermal imaging devices are substantiated.
It was determined: the dependence of the index of preservation of weapons functions, in the case of the use of radar masking means, on the range of their detection by technical means of intelligence; dependence of the parameters of the forecast trend of changes over time of the indicator of the recovery of weapons samples, in case of their damage by the enemy, and the confidence intervals of the trend on the prospective time interval of their combat use.
A method of determining the optimal parameters of the trend of the process of changes over time of the indicator of operational readiness of weapons and military equipment in the event of their failure at a critical time interval of their operation is also proposed, which allows to determine the predictive value of the indicator of readiness for a given time of its application and to determine when the level of this indicator readiness of the weapon sample becomes unsatisfactory.

Human civilization has always been centred on economic growth. Economic growth difficulties are the main focus of government policy and study in the modern, globalized world. Kenya's overarching goal is to become a middle-income nation that is both globally competitive and wealthy and provides its residents with a high quality of life. The Kenya Vision 2030 is the country's development strategy. Different perspectives on the relationship between inflation, exchange rate and economic growth have shown diverging results. This study's particular goals were to determine the effect of inflation and exchange rate on Kenya's economic growth using Keynesian theory. This study used explanatory research design and adopted positivism philosophy. Annual data from 1980 to 2019 giving 40 observations was used. Vector Error Correction (VECM) Model was customized in analyzing the long run and short-run contribution of macroeconomic variables and gross domestic product in Kenya. From the VECM model, R-square value was 58.62, Chi-square of 26.913 (p > Chi2 = 0.0494) showing VECM was fit for parameter estimation. The coefficient of exchange rate was -0.828 with a p-value of 0.001 while the coefficient of inflation was 0.055,p value=0.020.The findings of this study will provide good fiscal and monetary policy recommendations to the government as well as guidance on how to solve the issue of weak economic growth. Because economic growth is predicted to slow down when inflation exceeds a particular threshold, the nation must control inflation. The government should support macroeconomic policies that strengthen the stability of Kenya's exchange rate versus the major world trading currencies while aiming for an ideal level of inflation because foreign currency rates have a detrimental impact on economic growth in Kenya.

Published: December 2022

After 9/11 incident, when the NATO forces attacked Afghanistan, most of militants migrated to FATA, Pakistan for the sake of refuge, which resulted in the growth of militancy and extremism in Pakistan. To counter terrorism and to stop the advancement of this evil, Pakistani government launched operation Zarb-e-Azb as a last vengeance in North Waziristan Agency with the aim to evacuate common people and then to extinguish militants. Consequently, about 1 million IDP’s displaced to the adjacent areas i.e., Bannu, Lakki Marwat, Karak etc. in the mid of June, 2014. Usually, displacement brought a number of socio-economic problems in the fate of IDP’s. That is why this research article focuses on the socio-economic problems of the North Waziristan Agency IDP’s hosted in Lakki Marwat from 2014-2017. This research is descriptive-exploratory nature based on mixed study approach; data used in the research collected from both primary & secondary sources. IDPs argues that they left their homes with empty hands and migrated to adjacent arears in the miserable situation. Government and Non-governmental organizations tried their level best to facilitate IDPs with honour and dignity. But the IDPs showed dissatisfaction because of unmatchable ratio between problems and facilitation.

Prison is often perceived negatively due to its purposes such as retribution, incapacitation, deterrence, and rehabilitation for people who are legally held for a crime they have committed. However, the prison institutions are serving a larger-than-life mission to transform the inmates’ life which includes correctional education. This study investigated the challenges faced by teachers in prison schools. Utilizing a qualitative research design, this case study involved seven teachers from the prison Integrity School for young inmates. The interview data were analyzed based on Braun and Clarke’s thematic framework. Findings showed teaching challenges such as pedagogy, teaching and learning materials, policy and opportunities. Another emerging theme points to the hopes harbored to further improve educational attainment in prison. This has led to several suggestions such as (1) modules and skills-based course development to focus on young inmates serving short prison terms (minimum of 3 months); and (2) fluid and organic pedagogical approaches. Drawing upon Nelson Mandela’s famous quote, ‘education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world’, this study is addressing more insights to add value to the young inmates’ educational opportunities in prison school. Serving time in prison does not deter the inmates from pursuing their education because they deserve a second chance to reclaim their life post-prison term.

Published: December 2022

Globally in 2019, it was reported that 295,000 women die during pregnancy and childbirth every year. Women from disadvantaged minorties were vulnerable to poor health care and skilled birth care service uptake was low. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of skilled birth care uptake, and associated factors among women from socially disadvantaged minorities in the Kambeta-Temabaro Zone, Southern Ethiopia. A multistage sampling procedure was employed to enroll 521 study participants. Data were entered using EPI- INFO and SPSS-21 for analysis. Both bivariate and multiple variable logistic regression analyses were applied to determine the association of independent variables with skilled birth care uptake. Those variables with p<0.25 at bivariate logistic regression were booked into the multiple variable logistic regression model. The degree of association between independents and outcome variable was assessed using odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals and variables with a p-value <0.05 were declared statistically significant. The prevalence of skilled birth care service uptake among women from socially disadvantaged minorities was 19%. Maternal education, occupation, awareness of skilled birth care, pregnancy plan, number of births, mothers’ lifestyle, and social subordination were significantly associated with skilled birth care service uptake in the study area. The prevalence of skilled birth service utilization among women from socially disadvantaged minorities was low [19%]. Thus, awareness creation on skilled birth, improving access to education for women, increasing the employability of women, and conducting community forums to avoid social discrimination against minorities are highly recommended.
RELEVANCE OF EMPIRICAL STUDY IN ANTHROPOLOGY : JOURNEY IN THE MIDST OF SHOREA ROBUSTA, TECTONA GRANDIS AND BASSIA LATIFOLIA

To our mind anthropologists deal with societies on the basis of ‘firsthand observation’ and this is one of the important keys to the empirical study. The present generation are very much reluctant in-depth study and which is only possible if and when the researcher himself / herself with direct and close interaction with the studied group and this is only possible when the researcher stay with the studied group in the village. The data presented here were the product of our intensive study with the tribal group/s of Bastar. Now, one can easily realize the basic difference between digital ethnography and traditional ethnography. Bastar is the homeland of number of tribal groups whose life and culture are nurtured in the forest environment and the habitation of each tribal group has a distinct enclave. The most primitive organizational system is supposed to be in communities are – communal control over land and where village are often shifted as per their need of cultivation (eg. especially among Abujh Maria). The means of production are treated communal but the material product of labour belongs to the family and several such attributes are discussed among various tribes of Bastar. Abolition of ghotul (youth dormitory) among the Muria tribe bring disaster; the young generation is in the wave of current market economy of the country and therefore, their all aspiration are towards materialistic world and they are considerably deviated from their traditional cultural value system of the society. To find out about man, you must go among them. There is no short-cut. It is perhaps the most important contribution anthropology has made to science and differs from other social sciences and journalistic approach in studying the society.
A STUDY ON THE CHANGES IN THE COMPOSITION OF PORTFOLIO OF SELECT MUTUAL FUND SCHEMES DUE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Published: December 2022

Investment Decisions keep changing as per the economic, political and social environments and continuous monitoring and rebalancing of portfolio becomes important for any investor so as to minimise the risk and maximise the returns. Covid-19 pandemic is not an exception to the many changing environment, which has significantly changed the outlook and the performance of the economy and the financial markets. In view of this, it was of interest to study the investment decisions of Asset Management Companies (AMCs). The study aims to compare the changes in the composition of portfolio by industry classification of select Mutual Fund Schemes of sample AMCs due to the pandemic. March 2020 has been taken as the event month as the lockdown was announced during this month. The study aims to compare the changes in the composition of portfolio by industry allocation in select MF Schemes of sample AMCs in the months of January and February 2020 (pre lockdown) and April and May 2020 (post lockdown) and to analyse the impact of lockdown on the performance of the select MF Schemes of the sample AMCs
THE INDIAN MANUFACTURING SECTOR: FINANCE, INVESTMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF FIRMS
Authors: Agarwal Manmohan , Azim Rumi
Published: December 2022

: The purpose of this paper is to explain the manufacturing stagnation in India, particularly, examining the hypothesis that financial stress caused the stagnation. Using a sample of 804 large, mid, and small cap manufacturing firms in India from Prowess database, the paper examines the performance of manufacturing sector during 2005-19 using simple financial indicators and dynamic panel data regression analysis. We estimate the structural equations of investments, leverage and profitability using a two-step Generalized Methods of Moments estimation. We do not find substantial support for the hypothesis that financial stress explains the investment slowdown in these firms. Our findings suggest that manufacturing firms, particularly the larger firms, are practicing debt conservatism. We also find that the declining growth in sales is a major determinant in explaining the slowdown in fixed investments and profits of these firms. In addition, the size of the firms measured in terms of sales also matters for small cap firms. We therefore suggest that measures to increase demand can help in reviving the sales growth of firms and thereby private investments and profits.
INTERNATIONAL TRADE, CONSUMER PROTECTION AND PUBLIC HEALTH IN NIGERIA: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Ozekhome Hassan O. , Adesokan Adewole James
Published: December 2022

The paper empirically examines the nexus between foreign trade, consumer protection and public health in Nigeria, using annual time series data from 1981 to 2021. Cointegration and dynamic error correction modelling techniques were utilized in the analysis. The empirical findings show that foreign trade policy has a positive and significant effect on public health in Nigeria. Consumer protection (proxied by consumer protection dummy) and per capita income are both positively related to public health, although the effects are weak, attributable to the low level of consumer protection and awareness, in addition to the low level of per capital income that fuels income and wealth disparity, with the effect of reducing health outcomes in Nigeria. Public expenditure on health and inflation rate (proxy for macroeconomic policy environment) are negatively and significantly related to public health outcomes in Nigeria. Based on these findings, it is recommended that appropriate consumer protection awareness on public health concerns through greater level of public campaigns on the dangerous effects of imported fake, substandard and illicit goods that are inimical to public health be aggressively launched. Increase government expenditure on health institutions, as well as judicious and efficient deployment of public and private resources to the health sector is also important to enhancing health outcomes in Nigeria. A strong institutional and regulatory environment to curtail illicit and nefarious importation of fake and substandard goods, particularly pharmaceuticals and food into the country is important, in addition to a sound and stable macroeconomic environment that is capable of promoting the public health status of the citizenry in Nigeria.
EVOLUTIONARY GAME ANALYSIS OF CORPORATE CARBON REDUCTION STRATEGIES UNDER CARBON EMISSION RIGHTS AUCTION
Authors: Zhao Jing , Ma Guoshun
Published: December 2022

As the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, China is actively exploring the best way to address climate change. 2021 marks the official opening of China’s carbon emission trading market. In order to investigate the evolutionary game relationship between carbon emission reduction by enterprises and carbon regulation by the government under the carbon emission rights auction, the article constructs an evolutionary game model between enterprises and the government, and analyzes the influence of carbon penalty, carbon subsidy and carbon emission rights revenue on the behavior of the government and enterprises. The results of the model show that the government’s active carbon regulation measures can effectively promote the energy saving and emission reduction of enterprises, and the carbon emission trading market can play the role of market regulation to promote the goal of “double carbon” and the coordinated development of the region.
THE CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PUBLIC EXPENDITURE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN INDIA: VECM ESTIMATION
Authors: Lakshmanasamy T.
Published: December 2022

The relationship between public expenditure and economic growth is obvious, but the direction of the causality is not clear. This paper analyses the relative impact of the different components of public expenditure on economic growth. Specifically, this paper examines whether the level of government expenditure is managed to accelerate economic growth or whether the government expenditure is used excessively which may hurt the domestic economy because of increased taxes and/or high government borrowing. The vector error correction method is applied to the annual time series data for India from 1983 to 2020 for testing the long and short-run causality. The pair-wise Granger causality test indicates one-way causality moving from gross domestic product to total government expenditure and from gross domestic product to government revenue showing that the growth of the economy leads to an increase in both government revenue and expenditure. The estimated error correction coefficient is significantly negative indicating that the speed of adjustment between the shortrun dynamics and the long-run equilibrium is about 0.03%. The results show a stable long-run relationship between public expenditure and economic growth.

Authors: Pankratov E. L.
Published: December 2022

This paper presents an analytical approach for estimation of maximum value of profit of an enterprise with account several types of products. Profit maximization gives a possibility to take into account changing of price of products on the market. As an example we consider estimation of profit for the accounting of three types of products. But the introduced approach gives a possibility to change number of products, if necessary.
