Cement/Concrete is the second most consumed commodity in the world, right after water. Cement holds a pivotal role in the economic progress of any country. This study attempted to investigate the impact of certain macroeconomic variables on the domestic cement consumption of Nepal from the period of 2012 to 2022. The macroeconomic variables analyzed in this study were gross domestic product, government capital expenditure, interest rates and remittance inflow. With a positivism philosophy, this study was done using secondary data in a quantitative approach. Statistical tools like correlation, regression and ANOVA were used for the study. The correlation results showed a strong positive correlation between domestic cement consumption and macroeconomic variables gross domestic product, government capital expenditure and remittance inflow. The regression results showed that cement consumption was not responsive to the trends in interest rates and remittance inflow. To increase cement consumption and foster economic growth, it is recommended by the study to increase government capital expenditures and mobilize remittance inflow into capital formation rather than consumption. Keywords: domestic cement consumption, government capital expenditure, gross domestic product, regression, remittance inflow
Rationality and Behavioral Biases in Investment Decision Making
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Apex College, Kathmandu, Nepal, Aryal Mukunda
Published: October 2024

The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between the rational decision-making process and behavioral biases among investors, as well as to assess the impact of demographic variables on these biases. Employing a quantitative approach with a descriptive and correlational research design, data were collected through a survey conducted from October to December 2021, resulting in 384 valid responses. Confirmatory factor analysis was utilized to validate the factors identified in the exploratory phase, while the Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test analyzed associations with demographic characteristics. The findings indicate that Nepalese investors generally adhere to a rational decision-making framework, identifying investment demand, searching for information, and evaluating alternatives. However, they also exhibit notable behavioral biases; female investors are more susceptible to the disposition effect and herding bias, while male investors tend to display greater overconfidence. Age differences showed no significant relationship with the disposition effect or overconfidence, but younger investors (under 25) were more prone to herding bias. This study offers valuable insights for financial advisors, enabling them to understand client psychology better and develop tailored investment strategies. Overall, it enhances the understanding of behavioral biases in the Nepalese context, highlighting the need for further research in this area. Keywords: behavioral biases, disposition effect, herding, overconfidence, rationality

Fruit Trees Associated with Settlement Sites in The Upper Kelapang Area, Kelabit Highlands: A Preliminary Study
Authors:   Universiti Putra Malaysia, Pearce K.G.
Published: October 2024

Fruit trees have been an integral part of the life of the Kelabits who have lived for generations in the Upper Kelapang area. A wide variety of wild fruit trees occurs at Pa Dalih, as documented by Christensen (2002). The Cultured Rainforest: Long-term human ecological histories in the highlands of Borneo is a project running from 2007 to 2010 and headed by Professor Graeme Barker of the University of Cambridge. The project aims to investigate long-term and present-day interactions between people and rainforest in the Kelabit Highlands of central Borneo, so as to better understand past and present agricultural and hunter-gatherer lifestyles and landscapes. It has been established that the Kelapang River area consists of a patchwork of sites formerly occupied by the Kelabit (and associated ethnic groups) who moved around the area and established new settlements governed by factors that included availability of land for subsistence agriculture, intertribal warfare, marriage affiliation, population size and superstitions. The study on fruit trees reported here is a component of The Cultured Rainforest project. The objective of the study was to investigate fruit trees as signifiers of social relationships and more specifically to determine the identity and distribution of selected fruit tree entities (and in some cases, who planted them) in the Upper Kelapang area of the Kelabit Highlands in order to establish which were, and are, important to the Kelabit communities who had occupied this area till today.

Authors: Almeida Franco Nicolle Naomy , Guerra Cerna Lenin Fabricio , Rivera Velasco José Luis , Yela Burgos Roger Tomas
Published: October 2024

Este estudio analiza el impacto de los ingresos totales en la calidad de vida de los ecuatorianos a través de un enfoque cuantitativo, no experimental y longitudinal. Utilizando datos del INEC, el Banco Mundial y CEPAL, se observan cambios en el Índice de Gini en Ecuador entre 2003 y 2022. Aunque la desigualdad disminuyó hasta 2014, la crisis económica por la pandemia de COVID-19 provocó un leve aumento desde 2015, estabilizándose en 2022. Las áreas urbanas muestran mayor desigualdad que las rurales, aunque ambas han registrado mejoras. El Censo de 2022 también refleja avances en el acceso a servicios básicos, persistiendo diferencias significativas entre zonas urbanas y rurales. Las principales limitaciones incluyen la falta de datos más recientes y el enfoque exclusivamente cuantitativo, lo que sugiere la necesidad de futuras investigaciones que consideren enfoques cualitativos y estudios regionales más detallados.
The crisis of French imperialism: debating military coups in Africa
Authors: Sylla Ndongo Samba
Published: October 2024

Since 2020, the African continent has witnessed a series of nine successful military coups, prompting the narrative of a ‘return of coups’ and a ‘democracy backslide’. This article argues that this view is flawed: it is based on data that are both superficial and devoid of historical contextualisation. These putsches, instead, signal first and foremost the crisis of French imperialism in Africa, as they have mostly happened in former French colonies. This article also analyses how these coups differ from those of previous decades and from each other in terms of liberation aspirations and how they relate to the phenomenon of ‘choiceless democracies’.
Knowledge production for liberation: the Review of African Political Economy 50 years on
Authors: Lawrence Peter
Published: October 2024

This article recalls the germination of a radical left journal on Africa and its development over the last five decades. Its purpose was always a political one: to support through research and debate both the struggles that were then still being waged for independence from colonial and settler colonial rule and the continuing struggles against neocolonialism. There was always a tension between support for movements and regimes and taking a critical position towards them. There was tension, too, between academia’s ‘quality’ criteria and a radical left analysis relevant for those on the continent seeking socialist transformation. There continues to be a tension between a journal produced in the global North and the challenges from engaged scholars on the African continent concerning who produces knowledge, from where, for whom, and in which language. The journal’s purpose continues to be the production of knowledge in the service of the struggle against global capitalist imperialism and its uneven development, which threatens persistent poverty and inequality for most of the citizens of the African continent. However, for it to be a journal of African liberation it must address the challenges from engaged scholars on the continent itself.

Authors: Toan Van Vu  , Huong Thi Thanh Tong  , Nguyen Thi Linh  , Hendrik Kosslick  , Axel Schulz
Published: October 2024

Metal organic framework MOF-5 was synthesized and used for the preparation of rhodium supported catalyst. Acetylacetonato(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I) was used as catalyst precursor. The material was characterized by XRD, FTIR, TEM, AAS, and nitrogen adsorption. The catalytic properties of Rh@MOF-5 were investigated in the hydroformylation of olefins and olefin mixtures with different chain length to the corresponding aldehydes. High conversion and selectivity to n-aldehydes were achieved. Interestingly, shorter chain length molecule, n-hexene-1, shows different behavior in the hydroformylation of its mixtures, n-aldehyde is more favor in short reaction times. The obtained results indicate that rhodium active sites are highly dispersed inside the pores of the MOF-5 framework.

Topic Analysis of the Relationship between Green Finance, Rural Green Development Level and Rural Residents' income: Based on The Empirical Study of Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle
Authors: Zhang Liwen
Published: October 2024

The objective of this study is to enhance the understanding of the role that green finance plays in fostering green development in rural areas and its impact on increasing the income of rural residents. Utilizing empirical data from 16 cities within the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, this paper examines the interrelations between green finance, the level of green development in rural areas, and the income of rural inhabitants. The findings indicate that green finance significantly influences the growth of rural income, yet its effects vary across different sources of income. Specifically, the impact of green finance on the growth of operational income is the most pronounced, followed by its influence on transfer and wage incomes, with the effect on property income being the least significant. Analysis of the intermediary effects reveals that the overall green development level of urban areas does not adequately represent that of rural regions, and the intermediary role is not pronounced. In light of these findings, it is recommended that the public sector should advocate for and bolster the development of rural green finance, balancing economic growth with environmental conservation to ensure that rural residents can reap the benefits of green development.

Authors: HOANG Vu Hiep, , NGO Quoc Dung, , NGUYEN Dang Tuan, , HO Hoang Ha,
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the relationships among green banking initiatives, green innovation, environmental risk management, and environmental performance in the Vietnamese banking industry. The research model is developed based on the existing literature and tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) on a sample of 459 mid-level managers from 36 banks in Vietnam. The findings reveal that green lending, green investment, and green internal operations have significant positive effects on green innovation, which in turn has a significant positive effect on environmental performance. Moreover, environmental risk management positively moderates the effects of green banking initiatives on green innovation, as well as the effect of green innovation on environmental performance. The robustness tests, including alternative model specification, subgroup comparisons, control variable analyses, and triangulation with secondary data and literature, provide consistent and complementary evidence for the hypothesized relationships. The study makes several important contributions to the literature on green banking, sustainability, and innovation in Vietnam. It develops and tests a comprehensive theoretical model, uses a large sample of mid-level managers from multiple banks, employs rigorous statistical methods and robustness tests, and highlights the critical role of environmental risk management in the effective implementation of green banking and innovation strategies. The findings offer valuable insights and practical implications for bank managers, regulators, and policymakers in Vietnam, as the country strives to promote sustainable finance and address pressing environmental challenges.

Stepping out of the margin : exploring the scope and the dynamics of charity food aid in relation to inadequate social safety nets in European welfare states
Authors:   , Hermans Karen
Published: October 2024

In recent decades, the contested practice of charitable food aid has become a symbol of persisting poverty and failing welfare states to provide adequate social safety nets. While European countries face disappointing poverty levels and a declining poverty-reducing capacity of social transfers, the number of people relying on third-sector food aid initiatives is growing. Yet, the empirical understanding of the relevance and financial importance of food aid for low-income households, and its relation to rights-based social protection, is limited. This dissertation aims to broaden the insights on the dynamics between charity-based and rights-based anti-poverty strategies by analysing the scope and complex position of food aid in European welfare states. It bundles four research articles that build on social policy literature and the concepts of social rights and the welfare mix. Applying a mixed-methods approach and combining newly collected with existing data, I examine the budgets and financial relevance of food aid, its underlying rationales and the involvement of different actors shaping charitable food aid. An innovative data collection in food charities across four EU countries shows that the financial relevance of food aid is not marginal for households on minimum income benefits. This is made possible due to the high reliance on unpaid volunteers, donated food surpluses and financial support to third-sector food charities. Subsidies from various government levels, particularly the EU through the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD), play a crucial role. Nevertheless, my findings call for a more needs-based distribution of EU social funding towards the Member States with the greatest social needs. Furthermore, while the set-up of charity-based food aid seems financially efficient, the application of in-kind transfer valuation methods reveals that food parcels are not fully in line with recipients’ preferences and needs, thereby reducing its poverty mitigating effect. Moreover, the distribution of food parcels appears to be a fragmented and uncertain form of support with discretionary and stigmatizing characteristics. Still, the case study research in several EU welfare states shows that local governments are collaborating with and proactively referring people to third-sector food aid organisations, using it to top up deficient rights-based social protection. Overall, the major rationales (poverty mitigation, and ecological and paternalistic motives) for upholding the practice of charitable food aid indicate substantial power imbalances in favour of governments and the private sector, and to the detriment of vulnerable end beneficiaries.

Findings suggest that while global initiatives and local efforts emphasize agribusiness for economic growth, regions like BARMM in the Philippines face challenges such as weak data systems and structural barriers. The study concludes that technological advancements and cooperative efforts are essential for sustainable agricultural development in these regions, highlighting the need for targeted policies to enhance productivity and food security.
Violencia en los delitos patrimoniales: meditaciones en torno a la necesidad de delimitar un concepto acorde con una sociedad más justa y sostenible

La sostenibilidad y la justicia social son dos conceptos fundamentales, cuya interrelación en la búsqueda de un desarrollo equitativo y duradero es muy estrecha. La sostenibilidad alude a la capacidad de satisfacer las necesidades existentes por las personas en la actualidad, pero sin comprometer la capacidad de satisfacer dichas necesidades de las futuras generaciones. Dicho concepto, por tanto, abarca no solo la protección al medio ambiente, si bien es un punto fundamental, pero también el uso responsable de los recursos naturales, la gestión de los residuos y la reducción de la huella ecológica causada por particulares y grandes empresas. Por su parte, la justicia social implica la equidad e igualdad de oportunidades para todos los seres humanos, independientemente de cuál sea su origen, género, raza o condición socioeconómica. Si bien resulta compleja la obtención de una justicia social plena, pues los condicionantes de posición social y contactos siempre influirán, la responsabilidad de la administración es disminuir lo máximo posible las diferencias existentes entre unos y otros. Con esta nueva monografía, el grupo de investigación ECONOMIUS-J, de la Universidad San Jorge, aborda, en su vertiente jurídica, algunas de las cuestiones de mayor actualidad que actualmente influyen en la cuestión de la justicia y equidad social. Se trata de la tercera monografía del grupo de investigación. Tras las dos primeras, centradas en mayor medida en la obtención limpia de energía y circunscribiéndose a la materia medioambiental, el paso lógico devenía en ampliar el campo de investigación y analizar su incidencia en las personas y los colectivos más vulnerables.

O artigo discute a concepção ancestral do tempo histórico sustentada por Ailton Krenak. Para tanto, interpreta-se a noção complexa de “eterno retorno do encontro”, tendo em vista suas referências filosóficas subjacentes e mediante a leitura cruzada de diversos ensaios e conferências de Krenak. Conclui-se com uma especulação sobre o nexo cosmológico entre encontro e catástrofe.

Este artigo resulta de pesquisas, realizadas entre 2014 e 2022, sobre as Universidades Interculturais no México, criadas pelo governo nacional como resposta às reivindicações indígenas após o Movimento Separatista Zapatista em 1994. Estas Universidades inscrevem-se numa política de promoção positiva em relação às populações autóctones que valorizam e revitalizam as suas línguas e culturas, a partir de uma concepção educativa intercultural que se pretende reflexiva e crítica. Desdobra-se na decolonização dos conhecimentos e no reconhecimento de sua diversidade. Estes estudos contextualiza o programa educacional e mostra como ele favoreceu a  democratização ao acesso ao ensino superior às populações rurais, em especial aos povos indígenas. Analisa as formas de organização e as pedagogias postas em prática para os diferentes públicos em relação à aprendizagem das línguas mesoamericanas. Revela as diferentes abordagens utilizadas para revitalizar o conhecimento tradicional assim como a relação dialógica entre este conhecimento e o mundo acadêmico ocidental, reafirmando a importância da “relação comunitária”, em contextos educacionais planejados. Em suas conclusões, a pesquisa mostra os avanços educacionais alcançados e indica as retificações necessárias ao aperfeiçoamento deste importante programa intercultural. Destaca o processo de  revitalização cultural e linguística dos povos tradicionais embora poucos alunos formados nestas Universidades Interculturais permaneçam trabalhando em suas comunidades de origem.

Intervenciones familiares y su impacto en el rendimiento académico de estudiantes en América Latina
Authors: Nyirimanzi Theogene
Published: October 2024

The academic performance of students is influenced by a variety of factors, among which family functionality plays a crucial role. Families that maintain good communication, cohesion, and emotional support tend to provide a more conducive environment for the academic success of students. The purpose of this study was to explore how family interventions designed to improve household dynamics can positively impact students' academic performance. To address this topic, an exploratory review of recent studies in Latin America was conducted. The methodology used was a systematic literature review with a qualitative focus. The results showed that family interventions, such as parenting skills workshops and psychological support, significantly improved communication and cohesion within the household, which in turn positively influenced students' grades and academic engagement. Additionally, it was observed that dysfunctional families participating in these programs also experienced improvements, although the results were more limited compared to functional families. The study reaffirms the importance of strengthening family dynamics to enhance academic performance and suggests that educational policies should integrate family programs to ensure a more stable and supportive environment for students.
