Navigating Change: The Shift in Healthcare Practices in Shibpur Village, Bogura
Authors: Mahejabin Andalib , Rashid Sarawat , Faizun Nahar Dr. Sultana
Published: December 2024

This study examines the evolving healthcare practices in Shibpur village, Bogura, Bangladesh, amidst significant shifts in the national health landscape. Over the past two decades, Bangladesh has seen substantial improvements in healthcare, notably through expanded immunization, reduced mortality rates, and enhanced maternal health services. These advancements have facilitated the establishment of community clinics and the implementation of telemedicine and universal healthcare initiatives, which have strengthened healthcare access for rural populations. In Shibpur, a village lacking formal health institutions, this study explores how healthcare practices have transitioned from traditional to modern systems.

Qualitative data, collected through interviews and focus group discussions with 60 respondents across different age groups, reveals distinct generational differences in healthcare-seeking behaviors. While the younger generation increasingly advocates for modern medical treatment, the older generation often resists, citing superstitions, cost concerns, and a preference for traditional healing methods. This resistance is especially prominent in maternal health and gynecological cases, where social stigma further complicates access to modern care. Additionally, challenges persist within the public healthcare system, such as limited medical supplies, inefficient service delivery, and the influence of intermediaries, leading some residents to favor private healthcare or traditional remedies.

This study underscores the need to bridge generational perspectives on healthcare, improve the quality and accessibility of public health services, and address sociocultural barriers to foster a more inclusive healthcare system for rural populations in Bangladesh.

Textbooks or teaching materials are a source of information and knowledge for students. As the discourses contained in the textbooks should be well constructed, delivered with regard to the level of readability. This study aims to find out as well as describe the level of readability of learning discourse I in student textbooks. The results showed that of the 5 discourses analyzed, 4 of them did not have readability elements that were in accordance with the standards applied based on reygor charts. It is seen that the many incorrect use of words given for grade X. Moreover, (1 discourse) is appropriate or has the right element of readability given in the target grade. Thus, it can be concluded that the learning discourse I in the Indonesian textbook grade X is not appropriate given in the grade should be given to a grade that is one level above it.

Communication without logical fallacies is highly needed in the 21st century’s student’s skills. Many experts agreed that debate is an effective method to build students’ communication skills. The debate has now expanded from an ELT teaching method into a competitive platform to proliferate students’ critical thinking and communication. However, NUDC is one of the national scales of debate tournament that could represent the Indonesian students’ critical and communication skills. Considering that background in mind, this study was expected to identify the logical fallacies uttered by university students’ debate regarding gender issues. This study deployed a descriptive qualitative design. With a natural setting, the data were collected using the structured observation sheet in three phases, the debate observation without setting manipulation, the recorded debate was scripted and condensate, and analyzing the logical fallacies through the transcription. While the data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data condensation, and data conclusions. The data shows that there are seven logical fallacies uttered by the speakers in the debate about the gender issue. They are misleading euphemism, prejudicial language, an appeal to fear, an appeal to pity, straw man, hasty generalization, and a slippery slope. Besides, the speakers who uttered the logical fallacies were also presented.

This research was conducted to see to what extent the success of online program and BDR to early childhood. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. The result revealed that teachers and parents are not completely able to accommodate the needs and the development of children, because not all of the          developmenta spects could be tested through the assignment but also required routine habituation and a supportive environment. The parents also stated the dificulties in controlling the online learning, due several things such as the level of understanding in early childhood program, sometimes parents also need to control some online classes at the same time also because of parents’ busyness with another job including those parents who work outside of home. Three of six parents stated that difficulties in doing the activities based on the school curriculum demands, this is because the parents have different eaducational background with the teachers who already have enough competency in early childhood program. The parents usually will follow the teachers’ directions and even the children also not involved because of parents’ busyness and want to finish the assignment that given by the teacher to the children and sent back to the teacher based on the deadline that has been set. Based on the result of research towards the teachers stated that they have difficulty in applying learning from home system (BDR). In terms of parents, they also experience the same thing. Low the understanding of the children development  make parents are difficult to do the activities that could stimulate all aspects of child development like the teachers did at school.
UTJECAJ KIRA'ETA NA PROPISE IZ PORODIČNOG PRAVA
Authors: Husejnović Safet
Published: December 2024

Qira’at, as a recited component of Qur'anic discourse, played a decisive role in the theoretical concretization of Sharia norms contained in the Qur'anic text. It also had a significant influence on the establishment of the methodological-legal principles by which these norms were derived. Although they differ in form, Qira'at are essentially interconnected, indicating their common source and origin. Without contradiction and exclusivity, Qira'at support, clarify, and interpret one another, which can be of great importance, particularly for Qur'anic commentators and Islamic jurists who derive specific Sharia regulations from them.

The primary goal of the paper is to examine the specific relationship between Qira’at and certain Sharia-legal regulations in the field of family law and to present the nature of their mutual interdependence. Although they differ in form, the Qira'at are inseparable and closely connected, indicating that they share the same source and origin. The legal implications of Tafsir, Qira’at and Shariah are explored through brief analyses of verses 19 and 24 of Surah An-Nisa, verses 31 and 60 of Surah An-Nur, verses 226 and 227 of Surah Al-Baqarah, and verse 33 of Surah Al-Ahzab, highlighting the jurisprudential insights that emerge from these selected verses.
O KOHEZIJI TEKSTA U ARAPSKOM JEZIKU NA PRIMJERU KUR'ANSKE SURE NŪḤ
Authors: Jugo Mithat
Published: December 2024

The subject of this research paper is textual cohesion as one of the characteristics of the textuality of the Qur'an. Bearing in mind that al-tamāsuk (cohesion) as a term appears very early in Arabic linguistic thought the aim of the paper is to offer a theoretical overview of text cohesion in Arabic linguistics. Additionally, following the guidelines of text linguistics, the paper aims to analyse the linguistic devices used to achieve cohesiveness in the text of Surah Nūḥ. The work uses an analytical-descriptive method based on the analysis of lexical, phonetic, morphological and syntactic elements that participate in the realization of cohesionin the text of Surah Nūḥ. The research results show that the cohesiveness of the Qur'anic text is realized by grammatical, lexical and phonetic cohesive devices among which are: reference, ellipsis, conjunction, repetition, collocations, rhyming prose, paronomasia. The frequent presence of cohesive devices in the text of Surah Nūḥas a form of sacred text and its dialogic character of narration is closely related to different literary types of Arabic literature.

The aim of this research was to explore the potential use of picture books for promoting speech and language development in children in kindergarten, based on insights from relevant scientific-theoretical sources and the perspectives of educators. The research is descriptive in nature. The methods used included theoretical analysis and descriptive methods, with the instrument being a questionnaire for educators regarding the use of picture books to promote speech and language development. The sample consisted of 50 educators from kindergartens in the Zenica-Doboj Canton.

The research findings indicated that educators who were more equipped to use picture books for promoting speech and language development (compared to those who were less equipped) believed that there were greater possibilities for using picture books in this way; they engaged more in professional development for promoting speech and language skills; their kindergartens were better equipped for this purpose; and they felt that picture books could be more effectively used to encourage speech and language development.

The results may serve as a foundation for creating an educational program aimed at developing educators' competencies for using picture books to promote children's speech and language development.
DOPRINOS TESAVVUFA ISLAMSKOJ CIVILIZACIJI – kratak prikaz
Authors: Valjevac Mensur , Hasić Dženan
Published: December 2024

Touching on certain aspects and elements that make up civilisation and using relevant sources, the paper indicates that tasawwuf left a great impression on Islamic civilisation, and that it is an inevitable element among those elements that have shaped Islamic civilisation for centuries and contributed to it as we know it today. Economy, politics, sciense and art, which are reffered as the material elements that make up civilizations, derive their values from the religion on which it is based as well as its spiritual and moral values. Tasawwuf, as a school of spirituality and morality, had a positive impact on the shaping of Islamic civilisation. Futuwwat and akhiyya, or guilds, who were, inter-alia, the followers of Tesawwuf schools, tariqats, influenced the economy through their crafts and trade, which is not often highlighted. The Sufis, although this is also not discussed much in bosnian/croatian /serbian/montenegrian literature, well participated in wars and thus took part in social and political life. Additionaly, they have contributed, with their nice behavior, to many peoples accepting Islam, as is the case with the peoples of the Malay Archipelago, Central Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. If we go back to the 18th and 19th centuries, the period in which the foundations for renewal and reform were laid, we will observe many movements for the renewal and liberation of Muslim countries from colonialist forces were actually movements founded by Sufis. The contribution of Tasawwuf to Islamic civilisation is significant and worthy of scientific attention.

Objective: To measure the concentration of fluoride levels in drinking water and its association with dental fluorosis in various towns of Lahore district, Pakistan in the year 2022.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from 27th September to 30th December, 2022 across nine towns in Lahore, where 100 drinking water samples were collected from randomly selected tube wells. The tube wells were chosen using random number tables from a list provided by WASA. Additionally, 400 residents aged 25 years and above (4 residents per area) were interviewed and clinically examined for dental fluorosis in the areas corresponding to the water sample collection sites. Fluoride concentrations in all water samples were analyzed using the spectrophotometric method at the Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) laboratory in Lahore.
Results: With 1.5 mg/l as the recommended fluoride level in drinking water, the fluoride concentration ranged from 0.50 to 1.63 mg/l, with a mean of 0.58 ± 0.33 mg/l among individuals with dental fluorosis compared to those without. This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.013). Dental fluorosis was observed in 189 participants (47.3%), of whom 48.8% were male and 39.7% were female.
Conclusion: Fluoride levels in drinking water exceeding the recommended limit were significantly associated with a higher frequency of dental fluorosis among residents.

Authors: Hassan Zahid  , Jehanzaib Islam
Published: December 2024

Objective: To evaluate psychosocial resilience and quality of life (QOL) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis at a private hospital in Punjab, Pakistan.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study included 191 ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis at a private center in Lahore, Pakistan, from January to December 2022. Eligible participants were aged 18 or older, diagnosed with ESRD, and receiving regular hemodialysis. Exclusion criteria included acute kidney injury, incomplete medical records, cognitive impairments, or psychiatric disorders. Resilience was measured using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and quality of life (QOL) was assessed with the WHOQOL-BREF™ questionnaire. Demographic and clinical data were also collected. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, with descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and post hoc Bonferroni correction. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The study involved 191 hemodialysis patients with a mean age of 53.4 ± 14.2 years, 45% male and 55% female. Common co-morbidities included hypertension (85%), diabetes (65%), and cardiovascular disease (40%). The mean duration of ESRD was 5.6 ± 3.2 years, with 70% undergoing hemodialysis three times per week. Most patients (60%) had higher education, while 15% had no formal education, and 70% were married. Resilience, measured by the CD-RISC, had a mean score of 45.27 ± 8.35, and QOL, measured by the WHOQOL-BREF™, had a mean score of 51.71 ± 6.30. Both scores were significantly lower than population norms (p = 0.029 for resilience, p = 0.001 for QOL), indicating considerable psychological challenges.
Conclusion: ESRD patients on hemodialysis experience low levels of psychosocial resilience and quality of life, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve these critical aspects of patient well-being.

Este artigo consiste em uma pesquisa desenvolvida no bairro de São Miguel, no município de Seropédica, na Baixada Fluminense do Rio de Janeiro. Tal pesquisa buscou entender as relações entre a cultura alimentar local, as memórias familiares e a ideia de patrimônio cultural. O objeto de pesquisa, por conseguinte, foram as receitas de aipim das famílias integrantes das comunidades escolares da Escola Municipal Vera Lúcia Pereira Leite e da Escola Municipal Atílio Grégio da referida localidade. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir da prerrogativa etnográfica, durante a pesquisa de campo foram realizados encontros com as respectivas comunidades escolares denominados “Cafés com prosa”. Os “Cafés com prosa” foram eventos onde o aipim foi utilizado como ferramenta de facilitação, sendo servido de formas e em receitas diferentes a fim de criar um ambiente acolhedor. Da mesma forma, nestes encontros, houve a coleta de dados, ou seja, a escuta e registro das receitas e memórias familiares que foram compartilhadas. Ao analisar estas receitas compartilhadas, esta pesquisa demonstrou que elas possuem profundidades e complexidades que entrelaçam aspectos territoriais, afetivos e familiares. Acreditamos, portanto, que este artigo ajuda a compreender a importância das memórias alimentares e da alimentação afetiva para refletir sobre o potencial delas na compreensão dos patrimônios culturais e de seu papel na valorização dos territórios rurais e periféricos.

Abstract. The 10 May 2024 geomagnetic storm, referred to as the Gannon Storm in this paper, was one of the most extreme to have occurred in over 20 years. In the era of smartphones and social media, millions of people from all around the world were alerted to the possibility of exceptional auroral displays. Hence, many people not only witnessed but also photographed the aurora during this event. These citizen science observations, although not from scientific instruments operated by observatories or research groups, can prove to be invaluable in obtaining data to characterise this extraordinary event. In particular, many observers saw and photographed the aurora at mid-latitudes, where ground-based instruments targeting auroral studies are sparse or absent. Moreover, the proximity of the event to the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice meant that many optical instruments were not in operation due to the lack of suitably dark conditions. We created an online survey and circulated it within networks of aurora photographers to collect observations of the aurora and of disruptions in technological systems that were experienced during this superstorm. We obtained 696 citizen science reports from over 30 countries, containing information such as the time and location of aurora sightings and the observed colours and auroral forms, as well as geolocalisation, network, and power disruptions noticed during the geomagnetic storm. We supplemented the obtained dataset with 186 auroral observations logged in the Skywarden catalogue (https://taivaanvahti.fi, last access: 19 December 2024) by citizen scientists. The main findings enabled by the data collected through these reports are that the aurora was widely seen from locations at geomagnetic latitudes ranging between 30 and 60°, with a few reports from even lower latitudes. This was significantly further equatorward than predicted by auroral oval models. The reported auroral emission colours, predominantly red and pink and intense enough to reach naked-eye visibility, suggest that the auroral electron precipitation contained large fluxes of low-energy (< 1 keV) particles. This study also reveals the limitations of citizen science data collection via a rudimentary online form. We discuss possible solutions to enable more detailed and quantitative studies of extreme geomagnetic events with citizen science in the future.
Interpreting cooling dates and histories from laser ablation in situ (U–Th–Sm) ∕ He thermochronometry: a modelling perspective
Authors: Glotzbach Christoph , Ehlers Todd A.
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Recent applications of the in situ (U–Th–Sm) / He thermochronometry technique demonstrate its potential to address some of the analytical challenges associated with the whole-grain technique. In this study, we adapted state-of-the-art apatite and zircon production–ejection–diffusion models for application to in situ dating methods, aiming to enhance the applicability of this technique to a broad range of geologic samples and applications. Our modifications to thermal history models include accommodation of the full range of stopping distances for alpha particles and cylindrical grain geometries. This investigation focuses on several key aspects of in situ data interpretation: (i) exploring the relationship between in situ dates and the position of ablation spots across individual grains, (ii) assessing differences and similarities between whole-grain and in situ dates, (iii) determining optimal strategies and performance for reconstructing cooling histories from in situ (U–Th–Sm) / He data, and (iv) reporting the effects of radionuclide zoning on (U–Th–Sm) / He thermochronology. Results indicate that the measured in situ helium distribution is a function of grain size, ablation spot position and size, and cooling history. Together, these analytical and natural factors result in systematic variations in in situ dates with distance from the grain rim. Therefore, similar to whole-grain analyses, robust interpretation requires determining grain geometry and the distance of the laser spot from the nearest prismatic face. In most cases, resulting in situ dates are approximately 30 % older than corresponding alpha-ejection-corrected whole-grain dates, irrespective of the cooling rate and grain size. Whole-grain and in situ dates are similar solely for gem-sized samples or samples exhibiting negligible diffusional helium loss and thus spent more time at surface temperatures compared to their transit time through the partial retention zone. Reconstruction of cooling histories using in situ (U–Th–Sm) / He data can be achieved through single measurements in several grains with varying grain size and/or effective uranium content or within a single grain with measurements taken at different distances from the grain rim. In addition, statistical analysis of a large compilation of measured radionuclide variations in apatite and zircon grains reveals that radionuclide zoning strongly impacts whole-grain analyses but can be directly measured with the in situ method. Overall, our results suggest that in situ measurements for (U–Th–Sm) / He date determination offer a means to extract meaningful cooling signals from samples with poor reproducibility from traditional whole-grain techniques.
Gypsum as a potential tracer of earthquake: a case study of the Mw7.8 earthquake in the East Anatolian Fault Zone, southeastern Turkey

Abstract. Obvious macroscopic anomalies of geothermal fluids were observed before and after the Mw 7.8 earthquake in Turkey. In order to find out the relationship between geothermal fluid anomalies and earthquakes, we performed a systematic hydrogeochemistry and isotopic analysis of the geothermal fluids in the East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ). The results show that these geothermal fluids were reconstructed (including: energy and materials) by earthquakes. Based on chlorine – enthalpy model, the temperature of the deep geothermal fluid has been increasing to 382 °C on the strength of the energy released by the seismic activity. However, the information of the deep geothermal fluid was eventually covered due to the infiltration of a large amount of shallow cold water after the earthquake. The abnormal concentrations of Ca2+ (54.04~501.58 mg/L), Mg2+ (6.58~116.20 mg/L), SO42– (6.37~287.74 mg/L), Sr (34.78~3244.8 μg/L), and Ba (1.89~196.48 μg/L) in geothermal water shown that the geothermal water has undergone complex water-rock interaction processes such as gypsum, calcite, dolomite, anorthite and serpentinization. Specially, significant gypsum dissolution was observed at HS05, HS09 and HS14 before and after the earthquake, suggesting that the earthquake broke the balance of water-rock reaction and promoted the dissolution of gypsum. Combined with geological background and previous studies, we propose that shallow sedimentary minerals, such as gypsum, have the potential to be used as earthquake warning indicators. However, shallow minerals are controlled by many external factors (e.g., temperature, pressure, climatic conditions, seasonal changes etc.), which greatly weakens their practical value in earthquake early warning.
Detection and consequences of atmospheric deserts: insights from a case study
Authors: Fix Fiona , Mayr Georg , Zeileis Achim , Stucke Isabell , Stauffer Reto
Published: December 2024

Abstract. We introduce the concept of atmospheric deserts (ADs), air masses that are advected away from hot and dry convective boundary layers in semi-arid or desert source regions. They can be expected to eliminate cloudiness, cause heat to build up in the target region, suppress thunderstorm formation in their centre, and boost thunderstorm formation at their edges. A direct detection method tracing the AD from source to target using Lagrangian trajectories is developed. We illustrate this new concept of ADs and the application of the detection method with a case study in Europe from mid-June 2022. With the Lagrangian analysis tool LAGRANTO, approximately 45 million trajectories are calculated, tracking the path of the air mass and the development of its properties as it progresses from North Africa towards and across Europe over the course of 5 d. k-means clustering identifies four typical pathways that the trajectories follow. For one of the pathways, the air nearly conserves its well-mixed properties. Diabatic processes of radiative cooling, latent heating due to condensation, and cooling due to re-evaporation of precipitation, however, modify the air along the other pathways. In this case in June 2022, thunderstorms were mainly absent in the centre of the AD but broke out along a line parallel to its boundary. At this edge of the AD and the surface front, lifting occurred, causing the formation of thunderstorms. The AD did not reside directly above the local boundary layer for long enough to be the main cause of the high near-surface temperatures in large parts of Europe but may have contributed to it. Subsidence heating of another airstream was identified as one possible reason for the increased near-surface temperatures. This case supports the assumption that ADs co-occur with thunderstorms at their edges and with increased near-surface temperatures in their centres and gives some insights into the responsible processes.

Abstract. Leading-edge rain erosion is a severe problem in the wind energy community since it leads to blade damage and a reduction in annual energy production by up to a few percent. The impact speed of rain droplets is a key driver of the erosion rate; therefore, its precise computation is essential. This study investigates the aerodynamic interaction of rain droplets and wind turbine blades. Based on findings from the literature and an analysis of the relevant parameter space, it is found that the aerodynamic interaction leads to a reduction in the impact speed. Additionally, the rain droplets deform and break up as they approach the wind turbine blade. An existing Lagrangian particle model, developed for research in aircraft icing, is adapted, extended, and validated for leading-edge rain erosion to study the process in more detail. Results show that the droplet slowdown reduces predicted damage toward the tip of the blade by over 50 %. The model indicates that the aerodynamic blade interaction affects small droplets significantly more than large droplets. Due to this drop-size dependency, the damage accumulation is shifted toward higher-rain-intensity events. Additionally, the droplet impact speed is sensitive to the aerodynamic nose radius of the airfoil. Due to this sensitivity and its drop-size dependency, the slowdown effect provides interesting levers for erosion mitigation via blade design or operational adjustments. To conclude, the aerodynamic interaction between droplet and blade is non-negligible and needs to be taken into account in erosion lifetime models.
Flesh of Stories of Pain and Suffering
Authors: Fazakas István
Published: December 2024

The paper explores the difference between semiology and hermeneutics of pain and suffering by focusing on narrativity and the body. First, it recapitulates some historical distinctions between explaining and understanding in the context of psychopathology. It shows how the hermeneutic method culminates in the idea of the cohesion of life, constituted through biography and narrative. The second section deals with the relationship between narrativity and selfhood in stories of suffering. The third part addresses the problem of the lived body and the ante-predicative embodiment of suffering and pain, which fuse with the ambiance, coloring the lifeworld.
Discours, métaphysique, et herméneutique du soi
Authors: Ricœur Paul
Published: December 2024

« Discours, métaphysique et herméneutique du soi » revient sur les liens entre l’herméneutique du soi, telle qu’elle est déployée dans le cadre éthique-anthropologique de Soi-même comme un autre (1990), et la conception ricœurienne d’une métaphysique de l’agir humain, telle que revendiquée au cours de la même période. Synthétisant des recherches dans les champs de l’ontologie et de la métaphysique – depuis les cours de 1953-1954 intitulés Être, essence et substance chez Platon et Aristote jusqu’à l’article « De la métaphysique à la morale » (1993) publié dans la Revue de métaphysique et de morale, en passant par l’article « Ontologie » (1972) pour Encyclopædia Universalis, la dernière étude de La métaphore vive (1975) ou la première section des conclusions de Temps et récit (1985) –, Ricœur vise à déterminer un discours philosophique en tant que sol commun à ces perspectives issues d’une phénoménologie herméneutique et d’une recherche ontologique-métaphysique plus spéculative.
Paul Ricœur and Metaphysics
Authors: Aspray Barnabas
Published: December 2024

In twentieth-century France, the word “metaphysics” had connotations of closed systems which claimed certainty for themselves. As a result, few dared to engage in metaphysical speculation. Ricœur, however, rejected this prevalent definition because he believed it came from Heidegger’s procrustean reading of the history of philosophy. While agreeing that certainty and closure were neither desirable nor possible, Ricœur did make metaphysical claims. Following Jaspers’s revival of pre-modern apophatic metaphysics for which transcendence cannot be comprehended, Ricœur, in his early work, argued for “critical realism” against neo-Kantian idealism, “original affirmation” against Sartrean negativity, and the “metaphysical choice” of human freedom’s consent to the unchosen features of reality.
Introduction. The Place of Suffering in Ricœur’s Thought
Authors: Ascarate Luz , Chevance Astrid
Published: December 2024

In Paul Ricœur's thought, suffering is primarily addressed from an existential and phenomenological perspective, as illustrated in the text of the lecture "Suffering is not Pain," delivered to an audience of psychiatrists. In this thematic issue, we present the very first English translation of this text. The contributions of the various authors explore Ricœur's definition of suffering as well as the dialogue he establishes between the philosophical and clinical approaches. By tracing the genealogy of suffering in Ricœur's systematic work, this introduction highlights the conceptual shifts resulting from methodological changes, notably the transition from eidetic phenomenology to a hermeneutic phenomenology with ontological implications, along with the plurality of his motivations and interests (psychoanalytic, theological). Suffering, as the negativity of existence, while exposed to the risk of a solipsistic affect, nonetheless unfolds a unique semiology, in an openness to the other, which Ricœur inquires in "Suffering is not Pain."

Corrupción como un factor de insostenibilidad fiscal
Authors: Fernand Desfrancois Pierre Gilles , Nieto Aguilar Wilson German
Published: December 2024

El impacto de la corrupción sobre las finanzas públicas es un tema crítico que afecta la estabilidad económica de los países. La corrupción disminuye los ingresos fiscales, redirige recursos hacia gastos improductivos y, en consecuencia, aumenta los niveles de deuda pública. El objetivo principal del estudio es evaluar de manera cuantitativa el impacto de la corrupción sobre los niveles de deuda pública en un panel de 135 países entre 2002 y 2020 e identificar los canales de transmisión. El modelo empírico se basa en un modelo de panel dinámico que utiliza el método de los momentos generalizados para abordar la endogeneidad, con variables explicativas relacionadas con la corrupción, gasto y desarrollo económico. Los resultados indican que la corrupción reduce los ingresos tributarios y redirige recursos hacia gastos improductivos, lo que incrementa la deuda pública. Además, se observa que el impacto es particularmente fuerte en países con abundantes recursos naturales. Se concluye que un aumento en la corrupción contribuye significativamente a la inestabilidad financiera y al endeudamiento público.

La disponibilidad de servicios financieros es vital para reducir la pobreza, impulsar la economía y estimular el crecimiento económico. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la inclusión financiera a través de una revisión sistemática. Para ello se utilizó el método (PRISMA), evaluando 70 artículos de Elsevier en doce categorías, tales como desarrollo financiero inclusivo, impacto ambiental, desarrollo sostenible, pobreza, estabilidad financiera, desarrollo económico, regulación, demografía, educación, responsabilidad social, tecnología financiera y construcción de índices de inclusión financiera. Los resultados de la literatura subrayan que, durante la pandemia de COVID-19 y eventos económicos recientes como la crisis energética de 2022 y la inflación global postpandemia, tecnologías como el dinero móvil y los cajeros automáticos facilitaron el acceso a servicios financieros, amortiguando los efectos económicos adversos, especialmente para los más vulnerables. Se concluye que las políticas proactivas y la educación financiera son esenciales para el crecimiento sostenible. La inclusión financiera no solo favorece el desarrollo económico, sino que también ayuda a reducir la pobreza y la desigualdad, además de contribuir a la mitigación del cambio climático mediante la reducción de emisiones de carbono.
