Published: March 2023

COVID-19 started in late 2019 and Ukraine conflict started on February 24, 2022 have caused inflation and energy crises to the world. The aim of this paper is to research on the inflation and energy crisis under COVID-19 and Ukraine Conflict by analyzing three markets including the United States, Europe, and China through their reactions to the crises. This is because these three markets are three typical economic entities of the world which have features and representative. Detailed information has been acquired by the authors that the degree these three markets are influenced. Behaviors and measures taken to deal the situation would be analyzed through the relative economic data. Through comparison and analysis, the result is all these three bodies are affected at varying levels on import and export, job opportunity, industrial structure, agriculture and so on. From the study, the authors came to realize that China goes through the crisis relatively smoothly while the United States and Europe are more severely affected. Expectations of the macro situation will be introduced in the end.
PEST-based Analysis of the Competitive Environment for E-commerce in China's Agriculture
Authors: Gai Jin
Published: March 2023

E-commerce in agriculture is an advanced business model that can improve the outstanding contradictions in the market circulation of agricultural goods in China. Chinese agricultural e-commerce is still at the primary development stage of online agricultural business information services. The study uses the PEST analysis tool of competitive intelligence theory, the author analyses the macro-competitive environment of Chinese agricultural e-commerce industry from four perspectives: political, economic, social and technological. The results of the study show that although there are still many shortcomings in the credit system and standardisation of products from agriculture sold online in China, the basic hardware conditions are already in place. The largely conventional ideologies of farmers' users are the biggest barrier to the growth of agricultural e-commerce. Farming-related online shopping enterprises should fully recognise the need for agricultural e-commerce. They should help farmers change their traditional thinking and increase their understanding of agricultural e-commerce in accordance with national agriculture policies.

Authors: Nguyễn Nhu Lâm , Trần Đình Hùng , Ngô Tuấn Hưng
Published: March 2023

This study aimed to evaluate characteristics of electrolyte disturbances at admission and related factors in the severe burn patient. A retrospective study was carried out on 241 burn patients with burn extent > 20% of BSA, hospitalized at Vietnam National Burn Hospital for 2 years (2021 - 2022) with treatment duration > 3 days. The results showed that Electrolyte disturbances at hospital admission were mainly due to hyponatremia and hypocalcemia (51.04% and 35.27%). There were 7.05% cases of hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia in patients with burn extent ≥ 50% TBSA, deep burn area ≥ 20% TBSA was remarkably higher than in patients with burn area < 50% TBSA, deep burn area < 20% TBSA (p < 0.05). Hypocalcaemia was more common in electric burn patients than in other cases, the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.004). The electrical burn agent and deep burn area were independently related to hypocalcemia on admission. While the area of deep burns was independently related to potassium disturbances on admission.
The role of fetal membranes during gestation, at term, and preterm labor
Authors: Truong Nina , Richardson Lauren , Menon Ramkumar
Published: March 2023

During pregnancy, the fetal membranes (i.e., amniochorionic membranes) surround the intrauterine cavity and provide mechanical, immune, and endocrine support to protect the fetus. Though they are a vital component of the intrauterine cavity, the fetal membranes are largely overlooked as an extension of the placenta, leading to a poor understanding of their role during gestation, parturition, or preterm birth. The fetal membranes are comprised of fetal cellular and stromal layers and line up with maternal decidua forming the feto-maternal interface during pregnancy. This interface plays a large role during pregnancy and the induction of term or preterm parturition (e.g., labor). Here we summarize the function of the fetal membranes focusing on their role during gestation at term, and during preterm births.
Docking Studies of Natural Product Derived Carvacrol Type Aromatic Monoterpenes Against COVID-19 and Comparison with Used Synthetic Drugs: Potential of Carvacryl Acetate Against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)

Published: March 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic that broken out in 2020 is becoming more worrying for the world. Although there is no 100 % success against COVID-19, certain synthetic drugs are currently used despite various side effects. Therefore, studies on the discovery of new treatment alternatives come to the fore. Studies so far show that natural products are still important resources for the discovery of new therapeutic agents. Plant-derived essential oils are complex volatiles composed of various phytochemicals, mostly containing compounds such as sesquiterpenes, monoterpenes, and phenylpropanoids. In this study, especially thymol and carvacrol compounds specific to the Lamiaceae (Labiate) family and aromatic monoterpenes derived from these compounds were modeled against COVID-19. Results were compared with remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, and favipiravir used as synthetic drugs. Dock and molecular dynamics simulations analyzed these molecules’ potential inhibitor efficiency of the SARS-CoV2 Mpro. Lipinski parameters and Docking results were demonstrated that ligands carvacrol (2), carvacryl acetate (11) and cuminaldehyde (12) are potential inhibitors towards COVID-19. According to the results, it is seen that medicinal aromatic herbs, which contain these volatile components with the fewer side effects than synthetic drugs, have the potential to be used as supplements in the pharmaceutical industry.

Published: March 2023

Background and objectives: Enterococci are significant human pathogens that are capable of causing various nosocomial infections. This study determined the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of enterococcal species isolated from various clinical specimens with special reference to vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

Material and methods: The study was carried out for 6 months on enterococci isolated from various clinical specimens at a tertiary care hospital. Organisms were identified by standard procedures, and subjected to antimicrobial testing as per the standard guidelines.

Results: Total 116 enterococci were isolated from various clinical samples. Of the total isolates, 56.9%, 30.2% and 12.9% were isolated from indoor, intensive care unit and non-hosptalized (outdoor) patients respectively.The most common Enterococcus species from blood was E. faecium (72%) followed by E. faecalis (12%) and E. galinarrium (9.4%). Out of 116 enterococci isolates, 31 (26.7%) were resistant to vancomycin and only 1 (0.9%) was resistant to linezolid.

Conclusion:The study demonstrated high prevalence of multidrug-resistant enterococci in our hospital setting, thus posing a serious therapeutic challenge. The result would be useful in monitoring the future trends of antimicrobial susceptibility of enterococci in this region.

DESIGN THINKING – EVOLUTION & ITS IMPORTANCE IN BUSINESS
Authors:   Department of MBA, SRIT, Proddatur., Reddy E. Naveen Kumar , Reddy N. Srikanth
Published: March 2023

Design thinking is an analytic and creative process in which a person is encouraged to experiment, create and prototype models, gather feedback, and redesign. The literature has identified several characteristics (e.g., visualisation, creativity) that a good design thinker should have. Design and design thinking have been recognised as valuable contributions to business and management, and the number of higher education programmes teaching design thinking to business students, managers, and executives is increasing. Multiple definitions of design thinking, as well as a variety of perspectives, have led to some confusion about possible paths. Design, like problem solving, is a natural and widespread human activity. A design process begins with a need and discontent with the present situation, as well as a determination that something must be done to fix the problem. Many scientists, in this opinion, have been creating and behaving as designers throughout their careers, while not always being aware of or realising that they are doing so. Keywords: Design thinking.

Published: March 2023

In today's fast-paced world, the number of deaths due to accidents is increasing rapidly. Several factors such as rash driving, drowsiness, drunken driving, and carelessness contribute to these accidents. The time between the occurrence of accidents and the arrival of medical care is a significant indicator of survival rates after detecting accidents. The advancement of technology has made everything more accessible, but it has also increased the number of accidents. Due to the delayed medical attention, accident victims might die. This research paper presents a CNN- based approach for utilizing existing surveillance cameras to improve accident detection on the road. The proposed system aims to leverage the existing infrastructure of surveillance cameras in a city to provide real-time information about accidents. The system uses computer vision algorithms to detect the accident and classify its severity. The proposed system can significantly improve the response time of emergency services, which can save lives and reduce the impact of accidents. Key Words: Accidents, Surveillance, Detection, Alerts
Execution on a Moonless Night: on the Question of the Sacredness of the Execution
of a Death Sentence in the Golden Horde
Authors:   Voronezh State
            University, Seleznev Yuriy
Published: March 2023

The carrying out of the death sentence is a crossing of the line between the world
of the living and the world of the dead. In different societies, attitudes towards the
afterlife, including the death penalty, have different manifestations. The article
provides observations of the timing of the death penalty in the Mongol Empire and the
Ulus of Jochi (Golden Horde). These observations suggest that the death penalty was
carried out at night on the waning moon with a tendency to carry out the execution
during the New Moon. This is due to the attitude of nomads to the world of the dead and
has a sacral cultic mea­ning: during a violent collision with the world of the dead the
Sun should not be in the sky fully; the Moon should be seen as little as possible or
there should be a full Moon in the sky.
Sorcerers and Witches: Magical Practices of the Albanians of Ukraine in the
Paradigm of Anthropology

The study tries to determine the status and ways of existence of magical practices
among the descendants of the Balkan colonists in the contact zones of Ukraine. The most
important issue of humanitarian research in recent decades is to identify the conditions
and mechanisms for the preservation of archaic beliefs and the entry of innovations into
the sacred sphere. In the conditions of globalization of information exchange, rules,
value judgments and seemingly unshakable beliefs of people are rapidly changing. The
Albanians of Budzhak and the Sea of Azov keep beliefs and practices, largely unchanged
from the time they lived in the area of their origin, the analysis of which will help to
understand the mechanism for preserving traditional ideas and transforming the cultural
code under the influence of external factors — primarily the media, the Internet, etc.
The study is based on many years of field observations of the author, conducted from
1998 to 2021 both on the territory of Ukraine and the Balkans. The author draws on
theoretical models developed in cultural and social anthropology by researchers who
studied the phenomenon of cultural memory on French, Moldovan and Macedonian materials.
The historical approach allows us to identify the fundamental patterns of the genesis of
cultural memory and the evolution of magical practices.
“Ab ovo”: Painted Eggs in the Kurgan Burial Rite of Eastern Slavs

The authors address the finds of ceramic painted eggs in the Kurgan burials of the
Eastern Slavs of the 11th — the begin­ning of the 12th centuries on the space from the
left bank of the Dnieper to Northeast Russia. As a rule, painted eggs are an attribute
of child burials. Currently, such finds are interpreted as children’s rattles or as
protective amulets. However, given the semantics and the meaning of the egg in the
beliefs and myths, this interpretation seems to be incomplete. Supported by ethnographic
data, the authors suggest that these eggs can be interpreted as a sacred attribute that
gives the deceased person the possibility of a new birth. Born in a new body, the dead
man with an unspent vitality could complete a full-fledged life path without turning
into a hazardous infernal essence for tribesmen. The article contains a corpus of
painted eggs found in burial complexes.

The paper addresses the study of the chemical composition of paste used in 26
fragments of sphero-conical vessels from the CC dig of the Bolgar settlement. Complex
analytical studies, including optical and electron microscopy, mass spectrometry and
emission spectral analysis, were carried out to identify the possible functional purpose
of the vessels, as well as to identify potential raw material sources. Areas in the
vicinity of the Bolgar settlement were identified, where the composition of the clay is
similar to the composition of the ceramic paste. The peculiarity of “mercury — arsenic”
ratio in the ceramic clay allowed to make an assumption about their original alchemical
nature.
Гермовидные средневековые изваяния Среднего Подонцовья: вопросы интерпретации и
хронологии

Published: March 2023

The paper considers a group of medieval statues with traces of processing along
the entire length, but without hands and feet, which makes them similar to ancient
herma. Hairstyles, headdresses and pectoral decorations depicted on them are similar to
the costume details depicted on full-figure statues that are associated with the Cumans.
At the same time, some elements of the costume cannot be understood without knowing how
these elements were depicted on full-figure statues. Medieval sculptures played an
important role in the funerary and post-burial rites of the nomads, and thought to be
“substitutes” of the deceased. Probably, during the rituals, the clothes of the deceased
were put on hermetic statues, and the sleeves replaced the missing image of the hands.
Unusual is the absence or a schematic representation of the vessel on the herma-shaped
sculptures, since the vessel is interpreted as the “receptacle of the soul” of the
deceased ancestor. Apparently, this is due to changes in the religious worldview of the
nomads as a result of socio-political upheavals in society. All of this points to the
late dating of the herma-shaped sculptures. They probably appeared in the second half of
the 13th century along with the influx of a new population and continued to exist until
the beginning of the 14th century, when Islam replaced pagan rites among the nomads of
the Eastern European steppes.
Anthropomorphic Wooden Sculpture as a Category of Pagan Antiquities of Medieval
Novgorod (Chronology, Topography, Semantics)
Authors:   M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State
            University, Tianina Elena
Published: March 2023

Anthropomorphic wooden sculpture of small forms is one of the categories of pagan
antiquities of medieval Russia. The Novgorod collection of such finds is the most
important one and allows for a comprehensive analysis, including morphological,
stratigraphic and topographic studies. Thanks to the introduction of new finds into
scientific discussion, the typology was clarified, and the main variants of images were
considered. The chronology of anthropomorphic sculpture corresponds to the dating of
other categories of pagan cult objects. The variety of types and variants falls on the
pagan period and the first century after baptism. The exception is wooden finials, the
use of which continues until the early 14th century. Topographic analysis shows that
most of the finds are localized in structures, which indicates the use of small
anthropomorphic sculptures as housing apotropaea. Perhaps the semantic meaning of this
category of cult objects should be sought in the cults of “domestic” gods, such as Rod
or Svarozhich, and a connection with the archaic traditions of house-building magic is
not excluded.
“It’s Death that Comforts us, Alas and Makes us Live…” (notes to the burial rituals
of the Alanian population of the Saltovo-Mayaki culture based on the materials from the
Verkhne-Saltovsky burial ground)
Authors:   M. F. Sumtsov Kharkiv Historical
            Museum, Aksonov Victor
Published: March 2023

All components of the funerary rite of the Alanian population of the Saltov
culture from the Seversky Donets basin have a deep symbolic meaning. The deliberate
backfilling of the dromos steps with pure continental clay, picked during the
construction of the burial chamber, after the placement of the deceased, should be
considered as one of the protective measures aimed at closing the entrance to the
afterworld. The charcoal bedding under the buried should be considered as the desire of
living relatives to endow the deceased person with “his part of the family fire”,
because the family hearth was a symbol of unification of all members of a patronymy or a
large family, and symbolized the well-being of a family, the continuity of the clan. On
the one hand, tying/swaddling the deceased was aimed to protect the living people from
the impact of the deceased, and on the other hand, to help the deceased part with the
world of the living, to show him that he now belongs to the other world. The deliberate
complete or partial destruction of the skeletons of the dead people in the catacombs of
Verkhniy Saltov should be considered in the context of the so-called “final ceremony”,
which meant the end of mourning, made the death of a relative complete and final for the
living people.
Equestrian Equipment and Horse Harness from Ciepłe in Northern Poland in the Light
of Archaeometallurgical Examinations

Archaeological investigations carried out at the early medieval cemetery in Ciepłe
in northern Poland have yielded arms and equestrian equipment deposited in chamber
graves belonging to the local elite. This study is based on elements of equestrian
equipment and horse harness which were found in graves 35, 42 and 43. Based on the few
metallographic analyses of European iron spurs, stirrups and bits dated between the 10th
and 11th centuries, it may be suggested that the artifacts from Ciepłe were forged from
bloomery low-carbon metal with low to medium phosphorus content. The objects and their
parts (bits) are single- and multiple-piece forgings of varying degrees of complexity.
The greatest skill was required in the manufacturing of stirrups, which in the case of
the Ciepłe set are all composite products, each welded from two or three pieces of iron.
Also included in this group are the bit sides from grave 43, both of which were made by
joining together two chunks of metal. The remaining items, i. e. mouthpiece links, side
plates, rings of horse bits, spurs, separators for stirrup leathers and bridle ferrules
are hot formed objects, forged from single pieces of iron. All of the non-ferrous metal
decorations of the equestrian equipment and horse harness were made in the so-called
false damascening technique. The surface of the plating was also sometimes decorated
with an additional negative drawing, sometimes lavish and rich in detail.

This article examines a range of problems related to the formation of the
military-political doctrine of the Byzantine Empire in the X century and the role of the
Byzantine Emperor Leo VI the Wise in these events. The impetus for the appearance of
this article was the publication in 2018 of M. Riedel’s monograph ‘Leo VI and the
Transformation of Byzantine Christian Identity’ (Riedel M. L. D. Leo VI and the
Transformation of Byzantine Christian Identity. Writings of an Unexpected Emperor.
Cambridge, 2018). The monograph is distinguished by a non-standard approach to the
writings of the Byzantine emperor, the desire to study them together in order to
discover the idea that unites them all. The author, indeed, manages to show how, with
the help of the religious idea, Leo VI the Wise builds a completely new
military-political doctrine of the Byzantine Empire and responds to the challenges of
modernity. The monograph shows that the problem of the relationship between the
Christian and Muslim worlds, considered in the categories of “us” — “them”, is relevant
not only for the era of the Crusades, but manifests itself much earlier, shows the need
to study these images, special vocabulary, mental stereotypes, etc. Therefore, this
monograph can be the beginning of a whole trend in modern Byzantine studies. At the same
time, the authors point to a number of aspects which are addressed only in part or not
dealt with at all by the British researcher, while their study could contribute to a
more comprehensive understanding of Leo the Wise’s personality and his reign.

During excavations at the Markul settlement in the southern tower of Alakhash-abaa
in 2018, next to the hearth, under the top layer of the floor, the remains of bones of
domestic and wild animals were found, on which there were no traces of either “kitchen”
crushing or exposure to fire. In 2019, excavations were carried out in the northern
tower, and bones from an almost complete set of two individuals of cattle (Bos Taurus)
were also found in it, under a layer of the upper floor, next to the hearth. These two
finds are united by the fact that in both cases they were found under a layer of the
upper floor, next to the remains of the hearth and inside the tower complexes, that is,
they are synchronous. The difference between the finds is in the species and anatomical
set of bone remains. In the first case, these are the remains of animal heads, in the
second, the remains of two calves. The bones of the calves are crushed, they have traces
of kitchen butchering, but they were preserved in rather large fragments, as if they
were specially wanted to be preserved. This may indicate the ritual nature of the meat
meal, after which the bones must be collected and preserved. Similar customs are
recorded by Caucasian ethnography. This article is devoted to an attempt to find an
interpretation of these finds, including with the involvement of ethnographic material
for those rituals that existed in the Caucasus in antiquity, and some exist to this
day.
In the Fatherland of a Russian Courtier: the Danube as I. P. Kutaisov’s Homeland
Authors:   High Anthropological School University, Russev Nicolai , Pilyugina Larisa
Published: March 2023

Studying the Russian-Turkish war of 1768—1774 allows us to shed light on the circumstances preceding the appearance of I. P. Kutaisov (1759—1834) in Russia. Kutaisov was a well-known and powerful courtier during the reign of Pavel I (1796—1801), and the founder of a dynasty of counts very close to the throne. A detailed comparison of the events in 1770 allowed us to find out that during the “sabotage” in Chilia fortress (in August), count N. V. Repnin’s soldiers captivated a Tatar boy from Burkut aul on the eastern bank of the Lake Katlabukh near the Danube, in the vicinity of the fortified locality named ‘Kitay’ (Shikirli-Kitay, now Suvorovo). It seems that his surname Kutaisov derives from this toponym and was given to the child later, in Saint Petersburg. It was a joint effort of several representatives of the Russian elite to send the boy to the capital city as a ‘gift’ to Catherine the Great, after the conquest of Bender (in September). After a solemn ceremony, the Empress sent this ‘live’ gift to serve her son, prince Pavel, who gave the boy his own name (Pavlovich).
Funerary Rite as an Element of the Spiritual Culture of the Population of the Northern Part of Bukovina in the 10th—13th Centuries
Authors:   Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Vozny Igor
Published: March 2023

The article discusses one of the components of the spiritual culture of the ancient Rus population of the northern part of Bukovina, namely the funerary rite, since it is the most stable and hereditary features in the development of culture can be traced through it. The local population at the end of the 10th century adhered to the rite of corpse-burning on soil burial grounds. As a result of the processes of the formation of the old Rus state and the annexation of the territory under study, a new type of inhumation burials appears here on the ancient surface under mounds. Such necropolises testify to the presence of Kiev-Rus warriors and members of their families in the study area. With the formation of the powerful Old Rus state, the process of Christianization acquired a wide scope. All investigated burials in the territory of the northern part of Bukovina were Christian. Structurally, the graves of the studied area are divided into five types: simple (without coffins), complex (with coffins), under-slab, in sarcophagus and in charnel houses. On the territory of the northern part of Bukovina, several burial grounds were also found belonging to the Pechenegs, Cumans, and Yatvingian burials, reflecting the military-political or trade processes that took place in the studied territories during the 10th—14th centuries. An analysis of the funerary sites in the studied area shows that the evolution of the funerary rite practiced by the local population followed all-Rus trend and was typical for the entire Old Rus state.

The source base of the study is represented by 5,465 body crosses originating from 78 regions of the Russian Federation. The localization of 20 different types of body crosses is reviewed. It was determined that 16 of them have a dense geographical localization. The results obtained allow concluding that the data from the State Catalogue of the Museum Fund of the Russian Federation, as a whole, correctly reflects the cultural and historical phenomena of the past. The manufacturing centers for most types of crosses were established. The migration directions of groups of people with certain types of crosses were revealed. It is proposed to identify crosses with such morphological and/or iconographic features, which have limited geographical localization, as typological units, as this allows moving from a formal record-oriented classification to an informative one, that is, one that reflects the cultural and historical phenomena of the past.

Despite the orthodox faith the Russian population of Siberia preserved and actively used pre-Christian customs and beliefs brought from Rus’ in the traditional household ritual culture. Archaeological observations allow us to show attitudinal plots of spiritual culture that are not related to Christian practices. For the first time, the authors offer for the scientific discussion archaeological evidence of syncretism of the national worldview in a broad context, based on the study of urban and rural culture of the 17 th—18 th centuries. They examine images-amulets on women’s and men’s rings, symbols-amulets on objects, in dwellings, ceremonial dishes, the funerary rite of children, the belief in the replacement of baby teeth, customs in relation to domestic guardian spirits – domovoy and bannik. This complements and enhances the existing ethnographic knowledge.
Online Worship Services and Baptizing in Front of the Camera: Mediatization of Religious Practices among Old Believers
Authors:   Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Dushakova Natalia ,   Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2023

The article discusses how Old Believers of different denominations perceive the transfer of religious life to the online environment and the usage of new technologies within traditional practices. The main sources are field research data obtained in 2020—2022 and online interviews with Old Believers from Russia and abroad (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Republic of Moldova). Considering the attitudes towards online worship services and the use of modern technical means and media technologies to perform religious practices during the pandemic, the article examines how Old Believers search for answers about the extent to which the transformation of religious practices under the influence of mediatization is acceptable. Priestly Old Believers are more likely to positively perceive new technologies that allow them to expand missionary activities. As for the priestless Old Believers, most of the religious leaders and ordinary believers speak out against the active mediatization of traditional practices, since they no longer comply with the apostolic rules, while allowing the use of technical innovations and broadcasting of online worship services for educational purposes. Nevertheless, the variability of answers and interpretations can be traced not only at the level of different Old Believer denominations, but also within communities, while the region of residence does not play an important role in decision-making.

Agricultural policy frameworks and the agricultural sector in Uganda: Analysis of the plan for modernisation of agriculture
Authors: Mwesigwa David , Oguta James , Acanga Alfred
Published: March 2023

The aim of this study was to evaluate the Plan for Modernization of Agriculture’s effectiveness and offered suggestions. Accessible literature has chosen to deliberately modernize agriculture and acknowledged the necessity to emphasize poverty reduction as a key component. The method for this paper was a review of secondary data on accessible empirical as well as conceptual resources on the agricultural policy frameworks in Uganda encompassing the gathering of information from obtainable resources. The findings suggest that agricultural policy frameworks are essential for fostering transformation in the industry. Prior efforts to combat poverty have concentrated on the policy content and disregarded other factors, such as community livelihoods. The study assumes collaborative arrangement between local stakeholders, including those who might otherwise be targeted, in determining the success (or failure) of prior interventions and training them to deal with the problems that have hampered their effectiveness. It can be noted that for Uganda’s agricultural transformation to be successful, a thorough study should be made of all the policies that have been put in place since 2000.
Exploration of Continuous Compound Interest in Complex Numbers
Authors:   FengQun network technology Co., Ltd, Xu Hejun
Published: March 2023

In the past, the interest rate functions, including continuous compound interest rate functions, were solved in real numbers. Scholars believe that interest rate functions in the other numeral system are meaningless for most financial markets. In the development of the times, financial events such as negative interest rates continue to break out, and more financial black swan events can happen beyond the current financial investment theory; The exploration of the formula of continuous compound interest rate from the perspective of complex numbers will help us find more features of the law of the financial market.
Unjust Adjustment: Dispelling the Myth of English Superiority within Kuwaiti STEM Studies
Authors: Al-Rubaie Reem
Published: March 2023

In the scientific community, mastery of the English language has become vital to publishing discoveries, communicating with other scientists, and obtaining employment at multinational corporations, among other activities. In response to this need, universities in Kuwait and elsewhere in the Arabian Gulf have adopted an English-only policy for their science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programmes, forcing local students to abandon their education in Modern Standard Arabic. This article discusses the effects of the English-only approach by questioning whether it truly corresponds to the needs of the market and offers the optimal educational experience. This work further affirms that the current policies create linguistic dualism between English as a language of modernity and professionalism, and Arabic as a language of tradition and emotions. This analysis suggests the necessity of further reflection on how this approach affects the self-representation of the Kuwaiti people. Finally, this article discusses the issue of linguistic rights, namely, whether students should be allowed to study in the official national language. This micro-study of the actual effects of the spread of English in the scientific community aspires to give a voice to those who are often dehumanized by large studies of the advantages of an international language.
A Bibliometric Study on the Nexus of Economic Growth and Renewable Energy in Brazil
Authors: Marques Maria Laura V. , Santos Daiane R. dos
Published: March 2023

The nexus between economic growth and energy consumption is essential in energy economics and economic development literature. The recent urgency in accelerating the decarbonization processes of economies has enhanced relevance to analyzing this empirical relationship in the face of technological advances, regulatory changes, and the expanding uptake of renewable energy technologies worldwide. This article presents a bibliometric analysis of the literature on economic growth, energy consumption, and renewable energies in Brazil using clustering as a support tool. Between 1995 and 2022, 177 Energy-Growth, Brazil, and Sustainability studies were published. It was found that China leads the ranking of publications, taking part in 28.84% of the production related to the link between economic growth and consumption of renewable energy in Brazil, followed by Turkey (21.52%) and Brazil (21.31%). The participation of other countries in the literature adds up to 32.29%. Keywords such as “ecological footprint,” “environmental sustainability,” “environmental Kuznets curve,” and “emissions” show how in recent years, the literature has been guided by a discussion related to economic-environmental factors. Another result was that the Granger causality test is a research frontier with the most significant associated strength.
