Authors: de Padua David , Lanzafame Matteo , Qureshi Irfan , Taniguchi Kiyoshi
Published: July 2024

This paper analyzes remittances to Pakistan and identifies the key macroeconomic variables influencing this important source of external financing. Remittances account for approximately 10% of gross domestic product in Pakistan and a better understanding of remittance drivers is needed to inform policies that can bolster their contribution to poverty reduction and other development priorities. To develop this understanding, the authors combined a database of bilateral remittances between Pakistan and its main remittance-sending countries with monthly macroeconomic data over 2003–2021, and applied a Bayesian vector autoregression model to assess the drivers. The macroeconomic variables identified included economic activity, inflation, equity markets, and interest rates— both in Pakistan and migrants’ host countries—and all play a significant role, although their contributions vary over time.

Published: July 2024

Background. Acute appendicitis is a prevalent cause of severe lower abdomen discomfort that necessitates rapid attendance at the emergency department, it occurs in approximately 17,700,000 individuals worldwide each year. Method. A case-control investigation was carried out on the patients with appendicitis in the operating room at Al-Sadr Hospital and Al-Shifaa Teaching Hospital in Basra, and the control group was randomly selected. Information was collected using a questionnaire. Results and Discussion. This study’s appendicitis patients were 56 males and 44 females. The age group ranging from 10 to 25 years was the most group affected by appendicitis (63%). The rate of non-smoking patients was 69%, higher than that of smoking patients (31%) and higher than smoking control (17%), with significance. The patients who live in the center have a high rate when compared with patients who live in the peripheral. The rate of patients who had a family history of appendicitis was (34%) lower than that of patients who had not a family history. Still, when compared with control with a family history (15%), their rate was higher with significance. Conclusion. The results of our study conclude that appendicitis affects young ages, but it can occur at any age, and a slight predominance can be observed in males compared to females, without significance. Smoking and a positive family history of appendicitis can be factors leading to appendicitis in an individual.

Published: July 2024

The Lorentz Force Practicum Tool (LoFoPaT) is a physics learning medium designed to visualize abstract concepts related to the direction of the Lorentz force. This study aims to describe the development of LoFoPaT and its effectiveness in constructing students’ understanding of Lorentz force concepts. The research employed a 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). During the development stage, the tool was enhanced to generate a larger Lorentz force. Based on assessments by three experts using Mini-Facets Rasch 3.84.0 software, the results indicated that LoFoPaT is valid, though some revisions were suggested. In the dissemination stage, LoFoPaT was implemented with 20 high school students (11 females and 9 males) as research subjects. The Four-tier Instrument on Lorentz Force (FILOF) was used for pre- and post-test questions. The results demonstrated that LoFoPaT is effective in constructing students’ understanding of the Lorentz force at an intermediate level. In conclusion, LoFoPaT can be utilized as a physics learning medium in classrooms to enhance students’ conceptual understanding, particularly in visualizing the direction of the Lorentz force using the right-hand rule.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to determine and describe the comparison before and after the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) on the French reading comprehension abilities of students in the French Education Study Program, measured by reading level indicators equivalent to the B2 level in the CEFR. The method used is quantitative, with a quasi-experimental research design. The population consisted of all students in this study program, totaling 186 students in the odd semester of the 2023/2024 Academic Year. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, comprising 20 students at the B2 level. The highest score obtained during the pretest was 77.5, while the highest posttest score was 75. The average student score during the pretest was 54, but it dropped to 50 in the posttest. The t-test results showed a 2-tailed significance value of more than 0.05, indicating no significant influence on the ability to understand French text after implementing PjBL. Based on the questionnaire, students reported increased motivation to read French texts, better understanding of sentences, and improved ability to find the main idea. They also noted enhancements in teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking, although they still required guidance from lecturers. Despite the positive reception and impact of the PjBL model on learning, there was no significant effect on students' French reading comprehension abilities after its implementation. Further research should investigate the factors that influence students' reading comprehension results.

Published: July 2024

The main problem that farmers face now is the conversion of land function from agricultural to non-agricultural ones because of conflicts of interests. Behind this problem, there is an increase in demand for lands as a result of economic and population growths, leading to food security and import dependence threats. Therefore, protecting agricultural lands becomes more and more urgent to ensure the national food security. This research aims to identify the arising problems regarding the conversion of agricultural land function and the need to anticipate its control upon the enactment of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. This research applied a normative research method using statute approach. The data it used consisted of primary legal materials such as Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job Creation, and its derivative regulations such as Government Regulations (GR) and one Ministerial Regulation as technical operating references. The data were collected by reviewing the literature and studies, using qualitative analysis, including content analysis to evaluate information objectively. The conclusion was drawn deductively, from general ideas to specific findings. An in-depth investigation was carried out into the relevant legal facts using frame analysis, which limited the scope of studies and attempted to find solutions to the arising issues. The research found that upon the enactment of Job Creation Law, a significant change occurred in the regulations on agricultural land conversion in Indonesia. This led to new challenges in managing the land conversion and required anticipatory measures. Tight monitoring on the agricultural land usage and establishment of a specific institution to manage the state’s agricultural lands are needed. Through farmers’ and community’s active participation, it is expected that the government’s programs can be more responsive to local needs and maximize the use of limited resources.

Published: July 2024

The developmental phase of students in Primary School is a period where the desire for freedom emerges within their surroundings. A positive environment has a positive impact on student behavior, while a negative environment can encourage problematic behavior. Problematic behavior can lead to issues both for the students themselves and those around them. Teachers play a crucial role in addressing problematic behavior with a managerial approach, but the use of punishment tends to have negative consequences. Therefore, this study aims to describe students' problematic behavior and analyze the implementation of positive discipline at SD Negeri 02 Pecakaran. This research is a case study with a qualitative descriptive approach, involving students from grades IV, V, and VI. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and checklist sheets. The results of this study indicate that problematic student behavior is identified in four situations, influenced by internal and external factors. The family environment is dominant as a trigger for problematic behavior. Positive discipline is considered an effective alternative solution. Through this approach, the school environment can build a culture that motivates students to behave positively without relying on negatively impactful punishments.

Published: July 2024

Objectives: No study has yet analyzed risk factors to determine whether students with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections may affect students at neighboring schools. Therefore, this study aimed to determine risk factors for COVID-19 transmission among schools within a community in the Republic of Korea.Methods: An epidemiological investigation was conducted among 696 students and school staff members at 3 schools where COVID-19 clusters began on October 15, 2021. Interviews, visit history surveys, a facility risk assessment, and closed-circuit television were used to identify risk factors. The statistical significance of risk factors was also evaluated.Results: We confirmed 129 cases (18.5%) among the individuals exposed to COVID-19 at the 3 schools, many of whom had a history of visiting the same multi-use facilities. The odds ratio of having visited multi-use facilities such as karaoke rooms was 1.90 (95% confidence interval, 1.03–3.50); the number of visits to a karaoke room and the visit durations were significantly higher among confirmed cases than non-confirmed cases (p=0.02 and p=0.03, respectively).Conclusion: Having a history of visiting karaoke rooms often and spending a long time there were risk factors for COVID-19 infection and inter-school transmission. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the status of multi-use facilities frequently visited by adolescents and consider incorporating them into the scope of school quarantine to prevent infectious diseases at schools in a community.

Reserves, prices, and policy: An empirical analysis of strategic crop reserves in Arab nations
Authors: Fatih Chellai
Published: July 2024

Subject and purpose of work

In recent years, global food systems have faced challenges like disasters, extreme weather events, and market fluctuations, such as the Ukraine-Russia conflict. This study analyses strategic crop reserves, specifically for wheat and rice, in Arab countries. It examines the objectives and obstacles associated with these reserves.

Material and methods

different statistical methods have been used, including regression analysis and neural network prediction models.

Results

Findings reveal significant agricultural production deficits in Arab economies. However, some countries maintain substantial crop reserves. We found an inverse relationship between wheat reserves and wheat prices. Additionally, energy prices correlate positively with agricultural commodity prices. Forecasting models anticipate short-term global grain stock stability but predict short-term increases in agricultural price indices (until 2024) followed by long-term decreases (by 2030).

Conclusions

Policymakers should support agricultural strategies, particularly for strategic crops. To address current challenges, we suggest securing long-term contracts for strategic crops, diversifying suppliers, and avoiding reliance on a few sources.

Published: July 2024

Objective: This study aimed to estimate fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) prevalence in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and explore associated factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2023 to February 2024 at King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, targeting DM patients aged 18 years and above. A non-probability sampling technique was utilized. Participants were screened for FMS using the Arabic fibromyalgia rapid screening tool.
Results: A total of 224 participants were included. The prevalence of FMS was 12.5%. A significant gender disparity was observed to be greater in females (OR = 4.32, 95% CI: 1.63-13.2, p = 0.005). No significant correlation was found between FMS prevalence and HbA1c levels (p = 0.215). Moreover, the presence of diabetic complications, namely diabetic foot, was significantly associated with FMS (OR = 5.68, 95% CI: 1.57-20.5, p = 0.007). Noteworthy, a prior diagnosis with psychiatric illness showed higher odds of fibromyalgia (OR= 7.42, 95% CI: 1.88-31.1, p = 0.004)
Conclusion: The study revealed a significant prevalence of FMS among DM patients in Riyadh, underscoring the need for healthcare professionals to incorporate FMS screening into routine diabetic care, particularly for females and those with diabetic complications. This approach would ensure a holistic management strategy for DM patients, potentially improving their quality of life. Further research is warranted to explore the mechanisms linking DM and FMS.
The British policy in Central Asia
Authors: Zhiltsov S. S.
Published: July 2024

The article investigates the modern policy of Great Britain in Central Asia. In recent years, official London has increased its interest in Central Asia. The region is considered as an important direction of British foreign policy. The British course is implemented in the context of the policy of the collective West towards the Central Asian states. It is based on the weakening of Russia’s political, trade and economic relations with Central Asian countries and putting pressure on them to change their foreign policy course. It is important for London to reorient Central Asia’s political and economic ties with Moscow and Beijing toward the interests of the collective West. London’s involvement in Central Asia is determined by energy resources in the region, as well as long-term plans to gain access to deposits of rare earth metals. The article concludes that it is possible to make only а relative comparisons with the “Great Game” that unfolded between the Russian Empire and Great Britain in the middle of the 19th century in the Central Asian khanates. The geopolitical conditions have changed dramatically and, in addition, London follows the general policy of the West. Nevertheless, London’s goals in Central Asia have not changed — the struggle for resources and limiting the influence of Russia.

The article analyses ambitious energy projects of Turkey, which seeks to become an energy ‘hub’. The article pays great attention to the study of the institutional framework and key instruments of Turkey’s ‘soft power’, which pursues an active policy towards the Turkic-speaking countries of Central Asia. This has allowed Turkey to significantly expand its influence in the countries of the region, competing with Russian and Chinese influence. The article explores the role of the ‘Organisation of Turkic States’ (OTS), whose activities Ankara pays increased attention to. Turkish policy is aimed at using the potential of this organisation to pursue its own interests. The article concludes that the Organization of Turkic States plays a significant role as one of the important actors between Turkey and the states in the region. It also concludes that Turkey’s policy in Central Asia is aimed at addressing long-term objectives related to the expansion of political, economic and cultural influence.

The implementation of Compulsory Licensing in the procurement of anti-retroviral drugs to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic, which poses a significant threat to Indonesia and global public health, exemplifies the essential necessity and utility of this concept. Compulsory Licensing is pivotal not only for community health but also for advancing Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) law. This research aims to explore the future prospects of Compulsory Licensing and propose regulatory reforms in Indonesia. Utilizing a normative juridical approach, the study concludes that Compulsory Licensing holds strong potential as a countermeasure and in balancing rights and obligations. It underscores the critical need for a robust regulatory framework to support its effective application and growth. Future enhancements, such as allowing appeals against government compensation determinations through judicial review, could bolster acceptance and ensure the sustainability of this concept.

Published: July 2024

Two-level pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) is an uncommon spinal procedure mainly used in treating severe round thoracolumbar kyphosis, usually seen in ankylosing spondylitis. In contrast to single-level PSO, two-level osteotomy doubles the correcting strength of the procedure. It disseminates the site of deformity correction over two separate segments, aiming to restore the center of mass to the cone of the economy more efficiently. However, this surgical technique requires more experience, patience, and attention to the details mentioned in this paper. This complex technique needs a multidisciplinary approach, and with precise patient selection and careful surgical planning, amazing, and satisfactory outcomes could be achievable.

Rapid development leads to changes in land use patterns where built-up areas increasingly dominate natural spaces to the point of conversion, resulting in a reduced environmental carrying capacity, becoming a factor in the irregularity of development in an area. Monitoring changes in land cover become important to inform management strategies to ensure the sustainability of the region. This research aims to analyze the changes in built-up land that have occurred in the study area over the past 8 years, specifically from 2014 to 2022 and make predictions for the year 2030 using the Cellular Automata - Artificial Neural Network (CA-ANN) algorithm. The method employed in this study is quantitative descriptive analysis with a correlational research approach between land cover and the driving factors of land change. The results of this study note that within the timeframe of 2014-2022, there has been a land change of 1183.26 hectares in the northern administrative zone of Rembang Regency. Meanwhile, the prediction results also indicate that the largest percentage of land change is in the built-up land, with a changing area of 1515.98 hectares.

This article examines the problem of the relationship between the model of secularism and religious symbolism in the context of the risk of religious radicalization in Kazakhstan. This topic is especially relevant at the present time in conditions of geopolitical turbulence in the Eurasian region. Due to the complex nature of the problem, three main components are distinguished: 1) consideration of the features of the French model of secularism applied in Kazakhstan; 2) analysis of external destructive religious influence on Kazakhstan; 3) the alleged religious and ideological risks existing in Kazakhstan. Summarizing these three components, a general conclusion is drawn about the necessary measures that should be taken to relieve the «degree of tension» between secular principles and religious symbolism, which can reduce and/or neutralize the risks of extremist, and, as a consequence, terrorist actions on the territory of Kazakhstan. In Kazakhstan, measures are being taken to counter the so-called destructive religious movements/organizations (abbreviated as DRM/DRO). However, there is no legal definition for this concept. In public discourse, DRM/DRO are contrasted with «traditional religions», the definition of which also does not exist in domestic legislation. Legally, there is only a list of prohibited (extremist, terrorist) organizations and a list of registered religious associations on the territory of Kazakhstan. One way or another, realities dictate to the state and society the need to counteract destructive religious influence. It should be noted that destructive behavior comes from a destructive ideology. The purpose of the work is to identify ideological risks for the religious situation in Kazakhstan, as well as to apply preventive measures to eliminate religious and ideological threats. The article describes the existing risks for the state in the field of ideological prevention of religious extremism and terrorism, and provides appropriate recommendations that are of theoretical and practical benefit.

Published: July 2024

This research on training needs assessment aims to identify the technical, management, and leadership skills and competencies that are lacking among elected Union Parishad members in Bangladesh. The study used both qualitative and quantitative approaches and was conducted in the Chandpur District. Four unions in three Upazilas were randomly selected from the EALG project list, and 52 Chairmen, Members, and Women were interviewed. Additionally, seven Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) were conducted with relevant professionals. The report revealed deficits in training for Union Parishad chairmen and members. Since the functions of chairmen and members differ, their training needs also vary. Members and chairs should prioritize training in ICT, Good Governance, and Service. Strategy, budget, and audit training should be the second priority for chairmen while training on citizens' welfare and service-related cross-cutting issues ranks third for members and fourth for chairmen quantitatively. Qualitative interviews underscored the importance of training. Notably, the combined results of chairmen and members placed training related to the general functions and activities of chairmen and members sixth, while experts feel that it is vital. Most participants recommended a seven- to 10-day district-level training with a local government or rural development organization field trip. Local government experts, especially those with experience in Union Parishads, are recommended for providing the training.
