Authors: Ndung’u Esther W , McQuillan Ruth
Published: July 2024

Adolescent pregnancy is a global health issue that affects millions of young girls and their families.According to the World Health Organization, approximately 16 million adolescents aged 15-19years give birth annually, representing 11% of all births worldwide. Most of these pregnancies occurin low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. The burden ofadolescent pregnancy in Kenya is 15% of girls aged 15-19 years, with 2.7 % of adolescents aged15 years having ever been pregnant. Unintended pregnancies among adolescents in Kenyaaccount for most maternal morbidity and mortality cases from abortions. Pregnant adolescents areat an increased risk of pregnancy and childbirth complications, unsafe abortion, violence fromintimate partners, HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted infections. Furthermore, infants born toadolescent mothers have higher probability of mortality and exposure to life-threatening conditions.This policy brief reviews and analyses the factors associated with unintended adolescentpregnancies in Kenya and identifies evidence-based interventions that can be applied in the localcontext. It argues that a multisectoral approach involving education, contraception, and incentivesis needed to address adolescent pregnancies. In conclusion, more research is needed to tailorthese interventions to the local Kenyan context while analyzing the availability and mobilization ofresources.

Authors: Kozak Malgorzata , Ruiz Palacios Tais A.
Published: July 2024

The advent of the digital economy has brought many challenges to traditional business models, leading to new issues that go beyond pure market problems. This is also true for the news media industry since the emergence and rapid expansion of digital platforms like Google and Facebook. While the latter, in contrast to press publishers, do not produce any news content themselves, they have become digital news aggregators and first contact points for readers of online news. In this post, we reflect on the existing approaches towards addressing the bargaining imbalance between press publishers and digital news aggregators. We argue that the most adequate measure in addressing this imbalance would be a regulatory instrument such as a bargaining code.

Authors: Gongal GN
Published: July 2024

Human rabies is the most dreadful of all communicable diseases. Human rabid cases are reported from time to time in Nepal. An estimated 100 or more persons die of hydrophobia in Nepal annually. With an objective to study the epidemiology of human rabies in Nepal, all the human rabid cases were collected in a standard format from different hospitals during the period from 1992 to 1996. The analysis of reported human rabid cases indicates that rabid cases are reported from both rural and urban areas of Nepal due to negligence after animal bite. A total of 181 cases were reported in the kingdom of Nepal during the period from 1992 to 1996. All the hydrophobia cases except one were diagnosed on clinical background. Only 6 patients developed rabies despite complete or partial anti-rabies vaccination during the last 5 years. Sixty-one percent human rabid cases were reported from Central Development Region alone. Forty to eighty-one per cent hydrophobia patients were children. The male to female ratio was 3:1.
Dog bite was the primary source of infection, 96 per cent hydrophobia patients were exposed to a rabid dog. Adult patients were bitten mostly in lower extremities whereas child patients were bitten in upper extremities and highly sensitive areas like head, neck and finger tips.

Published: July 2024

Creating a fair investment environment is crucial for economic growth and attracting domestic and foreign investors. The purpose of this study is to find out how the shadow economy, harshness of courts against corrupt officials, tax pressure, and restrictions on business affect the fair investment environment. Therefore, two economic-mathematical models are built using multiple least squares regression analysis, in which the outcome variables are: in model 1 ‒ control over corruption, which is a component of the Global Governance Index; in model 2 ‒ the European Business Association’s Investment Attractiveness Index. The composition of the factor attributes in both models is the same: Corruption Perceptions Index by Transparency International; level of shadow economy according to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine; the number of criminal cases in courts under the article “Acceptance of an offer, promise or receipt of an undue benefit by an official” using open data from the Unified State Register of Court Decisions; total tax and fee rate, which reflects taxes and mandatory payments as a percentage of commercial profit, determined by the World Bank Group methodology; assessment of “Starting Business” by Doing Business, according to the methodology of the World Bank Group. The modeling is based on the example of Ukraine for 2012‒2022. Calculations based on Model 1 show that restrictions on business have the greatest impact on the corruption control indicator (a 10% reduction in restrictions leads to a 3-point reduction in the need to control corruption), the shadow economy and tax pressure have an average impact (a one-point increase in them will increase the level of corruption by 0.4 points). The harshness of the courts against corrupt officials has the least impact (most corruption cases in Ukraine do not reach the courts). Calculations based on Model 2 show that the complexity of starting a business exerts the greatest impact on investment attractiveness (if it decreases by 15%, investment attractiveness will increase by almost 1 unit). The average impact is exerted by the increase in the shadow economy (a 10% increase in the shadow economy leads to a rise in investment attractiveness by 0.4 units). The insignificant impact is exerted by the tax burden and judicial punishment of corrupt officials.

Published: July 2024

The proliferation of FinTech apps has democratized access to financial services, empowering individuals and businesses to take greater control of their finances. These apps have catalyzed financial innovation, disrupted traditional business models, and fostered competition in the financial industry. Moreover, FinTech apps have the potential to drive economic growth, promote financial literacy, and advance financial inclusion on a global scale. FinTech applications have played an important role in the creation of an arena where information is collected, stored, and processed to make the best decisions of investment. This has boosted the investment and increased the activity in capital markets when considered from the investors’ point of view. Capital markets have always been an important place for investors to invest in long-term securities with a maturity of more than one year. Primary as well as secondary markets are part of it. People invest in securities expecting a return in the form of capital gains and/or income. The role of FinTech applications in facilitating various investment decisions has also opened doors to retail investors in capital markets. Traditionally, retail investors have been overlooked because they are perceived not to have enough capital to invest, be too risk-averse, and be too costly to service. Both quantitative and qualitative data have been used. 150 online surveys were used to gather primary data. The outcome from this study showed a major shift in stock market investors towards digital connection due to various reasons. Some cultural and behavioral effects have been found among the investors for the financial transactions.

Advances in renewable energy technologies, particularly in solar, wind, energy storage, and grid integration solutions, are accelerating the growth of in startups in this sector. Despite the promising outlook, renewable energy startups face several risks, including technological, regulatory, financial and market risks. The article carries out a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications related to the problem of investment and risks associated with the development of entrepreneurship and start-ups in the field of renewable energy. After multi-level filtering of the dataset, the research base consists of 82 publications by 232 scientists for 2005-2023, indexed by Scopus, and the analysis tools used are Biblioshiny and Excel. In 2005-2016, the number of publications grew annually at a rate of 10.47%, with peaks in 2006, 2007, and 2016; in 2017-2023, the number of papers increased (the dependence is described by a third-degree polynomial trend). The article examines 3 different types of Three-field plots in the topic of the investments and risks of the startups and entrepreneurship in renewable energy: 1) “References – Authors – Keywords”, 2) “Countries – Institutions – Authors”, 3) “Authors – Sources – Keywords”. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the scientific journals that make the largest / periodic but noteworthy / minimal contribution to the dissemination of knowledge in this area was carried out, the top 10 authors and papers were analysed by the levels of local and global influence, the most powerful research networks (based on the results of the analysis of joint citations) were identified both in terms of authors and countries, and the leading countries were identified in terms of the volume of research output of their scientists and the intensity of citation of these works. Building clouds of the most used keywords allowed us to identify priority thematic areas of research, as well as to analyse the structural and logical relationships between different thematic blocks in the research landscape. With the help of multiple correspondence analysis (factorial analysis) and longitudinal thematic map analysis, the scientific landscape in this area is clustered and evolutionary changes and interdependence of individual topics are identified.

Published: July 2024

The development of medical digital platforms with data on patients, medical institutions and medicines, the growing use of IoT devices in medicine, the development of telemedicine accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth of big data-based treatment technologies – all this makes it necessary to ensure reliable cyberdefence in the field of public health, maintain the confidentiality of financial information of clinics and health insurance companies, protect databases with patient records from hacking, and ensure secure communication. The article uses economic and mathematical modelling to study the relationship between two well-known international indexes and their components: The Global Health Security Index (GHSI) and the Global Cybersecurity Index (GCSI) for 190 countries in 2021. The input base included 6 cybersecurity subindexes and 7 health security subindexes for 2021. Based on the iterative divisive k-means method, all countries were grouped into 3 clusters. The first cluster includes 55 countries (medium levels of the studied indexes), the second – 49 (high levels), the third – 86 (low levels). The feasibility of dividing into clusters and choosing their optimal number is substantiated by means of variance analysis. Via the methods of Sigma-restricted parameterisation, Univariate Tests of Significance, Pareto Chart of t-Values and correlation analysis, all factors, without exception, proved to be relevant. Due to the OLS method, multiple linear regressions describing the relationships between various components of these indexes and their integral values are generated. The statistical significance of the factors included in the model is confirmed, and the model itself is tested for adequacy and accuracy. On the basis of correlation analysis, existence and magnitude of statistical relationship between the components of these indexes are revealed. The strongest correlations are observed between the integral values of these indexes, as well as between pairs of subindexes: 1) Legal Measures (GHSI component) and Prevention (GCSI component); 2) Technical Measures (GHSI component) and Detection and Reporting (GCSI component). To identify the causal relationship between the groups of factors, a canonical analysis was carried out, which showed the GHSI parameters are causal and the GCSI parameters are resultant. The linear regression model showed a significant positive relationship between the GHSI and GCSI indexes.

Authors: Dobrovolska Olena , Rozhkova Maryna
Published: July 2024

This article is devoted to the assessment of the country’s sustainable cyberspace strategy by comparing the cyber security strategies of those countries that are economically developed and use advanced information and communication technologies. Based on the components of the National Cyber Security Index, a calculation was made for 10 countries, which made it possible to monitor the effectiveness of their cyber strategies and identify their shortcomings. The calculation is made for the years 2018 and 2021. During this period, no significant critical changes form abnormal indicators, but it is possible to reflect a particular trend. Application of the PROMETHEE method (I and II) and the formation of net flows, determination of importance and comparison of alternatives allowed to carry out an in-depth analysis of various aspects of cyber security, such as protection measures, response to cyber threats and general resistance to cyber-attacks. It is determined that Belgium and Lithuania are the most resistant to threats from cyber-attacks and in the fight against money laundering among the countries considered, as they are rapidly developing and implementing new measures. Their indicators increased by 0.1 values in 2021 compared to 2018. According to the calculations, Great Britain is the most conservative in implementing certain strategies, and its indicators remained at the level of 0-0.2 according to various criteria for the years studied. Most countries improve their indicators by a total of 0.2 values, which reflects their development. Ukraine tends to decrease some indicators by 0.1 value; some are at the same level. The regulatory framework’s introduction rate in the cyber security field increases. It shows that Ukraine has many rapidly changing risks, but is trying to achieve flexibility in responding to them. The research findings identify each country’s cybersecurity strengths and weaknesses, as well as potential risks and vulnerabilities. Thanks to this analysis, recommendations are made for developing and implementing effective cyber security strategies, both at the national and international levels. The study contributes to the understanding of the complexity of modern cyber threats. It emphasizes the need for continuous improvement and adaptation of protection measures to ensure the stability and security of financial and information systems in a global digital environment.

Authors: Roba Mohamed , Keltoum Moulay Oum
Published: July 2024

The article examines risks faced by banks during their lending processes and the mechanisms for managing these risks, utilizing modern statistical methods. Specifically, the study focused on the artificial neural network model as a technique of artificial intelligence that has successfully applied various classifications and discrimination tasks among institutions. A random sample of 46 institutions obtained loans from the branches of the National Bank of Algeria (BNA), Local Development Bank (BDL), Popular Credit of Algeria (CPA), and Agricultural and Rural Development Bank (BADR) in El Bayadh province, Algeria. Each of these institutions was characterized by 14 measurable variables with numerical values derived from the financial statements (balance sheets and income statements), as well as 3 qualitative non-accounting variables extracted from the loan applicants’ files (age of the institution, sector of activity (services/productive), institution status (viable/struggling). The sample of these 46 institutions was initially divided into two groups: 64% comprised financially stable institutions, and the other 36% were struggling institutions. The research checks whether the risk assessment of each of these 46 institutions using artificial neural networks will identify their institution status (viable/struggling) in the same way as it was in the base sample. The training phase recorded a prediction error rate of 0%, and the network testing phase misclassification rate was 5.6%. The overall correct classification rate for the multilayer artificial neural network was 92.9%, with a total error rate of 7.1%. The contribution rate of the non-accounting variable “sector of activity” was 100%, and the variable “age of the institution” was 94.4%. Other variables had minor percentages, underscoring the importance of qualitative variables in the classification process. Thus, the study proved that artificial neural network model is an effective model for distinguishing between viable and struggling institutions, significantly contributing to banking risk management.

Authors: Bronzini Benedetta
Published: July 2024

The presence of site-specific theatre companies in the gentrified and overtouristic city-centre of Florence (Italy) as a form of counter-gentrification and of re-discovery of public spaces for the community is a phenomenon related to the last twenty years. This essay focuses on two specific case studies, i.e. the two local cultural associations and theatre companies Cantiere Obraz and Genius Loci Performance. On the one hand, Cantiere Obraz is rooted in the Florentine area of Oltrarno and focuses its practices on public spaces, especially green urban areas, involving teenagers and young adults. On the other side of the river Arno, the site-specific projects of Genius Loci Performance aim at rediscovering public architectures in a social perspective through workshops and immersive performances. This study benefits from the interviews conducted with the directors of both theater companies and with some of the performers of Genius Loci Performance.

Implications of the concepts and Ilocano culture identified to Physics teaching were also deduced in the study. This study analyzed eight (8) Ilocano folk dances, namely, Binatbatan, Chotis Dingreña, Dinaklisan, Ilocana a Nasudi, Innalisan, Pandaggo Ilocano, Polka Ilocana and Surtido Banna. It also made use of the results of the study of Cubangbang (2017), which is a list of dance steps and terms of Ilocano folk dances, dance literatures from the books of Francisca Reyes Aquino titled, “Philippine Folk Dances and Philippine Dances and Songs,” and dance presentations from Ilocos Norte Tourism Department, for the analysis. Analyses and interpretations were based on the researcher’s perspective. Results show that the Ilocano folk dances are rich in Physics concepts. Likewise, the Ilocano folk dances reflect Ilocano values such as spirituality, adaptability, social responsibility, nationalism, modesty, and frugality. Moreover, results show that the dances are performed during social gatherings. Further, they depict Ilocano principles such as class-consciousness and chief industries of the different towns of Ilocos Norte like weaving and fishing. Finally, the implications to Physics drawn from the findings include the fact that dances could be used to demonstrate Physics concepts and to develop contextualized and culture-based Physics lessons to enrich Physics teaching.
