Published: May 2024

The article examines the theoretical concepts of market economy models regarding the role of the state in ensuring more sustainable economic development, as well as the transformation of the structure of the region’s economy, which is impossible without an influx of investments and ensuring the availability of financial resources. There is a growing general understanding in the Kyrgyz Republic that striving for economic growth without sufficient attention to other social tasks is not enough for the prosperity and development of society in a human and environmental sense. Contrary to popular belief, the Government can play an important role in regulating the market economy and invest in human resource development. For countries with economies in transition, too far-reaching measures to eliminate the public assistance system in order to increase the competitiveness of the economy are likely to lead to poor results, further weakening the nation-State.
Management of the system of development of the production potential of the subjects of industrial sectors of the Kyrgyz Republic in modern economic conditions
Authors:   International University of Innovative Technologies, Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, Sydykova Umut A.
Published: May 2024

The article highlights issues related to the management of the development of the production potential of the industrial sectors of the Kyrgyz Republic. In market conditions, the development of scientific and technological progress, which led to a new round of socialization of production of the entire world system based on the formation of transnational monopolies and integration unions, created qualitatively new conditions for international relations. These conditions expand opportunities for cross-country technology exchange and specialization development. Therefore, in the search for a system, one should not limit oneself exclusively to the mechanisms of adaptation of the national economy to world economic relations. Based on this strategic guideline, the main task of the Kyrgyz processing industry in the coming years is to prioritize the development of this sector, which, by its importance, reveals the internal potential of the national economy to the greatest extent.
A multifactorial mathematical model for the analysis and assessment of the financial condition of economic entities in the context of the study of the economic efficiency of capital use
Authors:   International University of Innovative Technologies, Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, Kyralieva Gulnara B.
Published: May 2024

The article considers a multifactorial mathematical model for the analysis and assessment of the financial condition of economic entities in the context of the study of the economic efficiency of capital use. Measurement using economic and mathematical methods of the cost of an accounting object is implemented in accounting practice by using such an element of the accounting method as valuation. This is especially important for regulating the proportions and efficiency of the use of equity and debt capital. Accounting theory, taking into account its historical development, has accumulated a large layer of types of accounting estimates, however, the search for their optimality, from the point of view of the objectivity of cost measurement and the possibility of their application to various objects, is one of the pressing issues of our days.
On the organization of accounting for accounts receivable and accounts payable of commercial enterprises in accordance with international standards in modern conditions of economic development
Authors:   International University of Innovative Technologies, Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, Kurmanbayeva Saule T. , Kyralieva Gulnara B. ,   International University of Innovative Technologies, Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic
Published: May 2024

The article discusses options for assessing accounts receivable and ways to reduce the negative effect of delayed payment from buyers. Valuation in accounting is the process of representing accounting objects in monetary units of measurement. In international practice, it is accepted that assets are accounted for at the purchase price, and written off at the sale price (disposal). Therefore, there is a division into the initial and subsequent assessment. As a rule, the initial assessment for liabilities is a reflection of actual costs, i.e. in the amount of the amount indicated on the invoice, and the subsequent amount in the amount of amortized costs using the effective interest rate method.

Published: May 2024

The article discusses the issues of methodological support for the assessment of capital management of commercial banks in modern economic conditions. The objectives of further reform of the banking system are to strengthen its stability, improve the quality of the banking sector’s performance of functions for accumulating savings of the population and enterprises and their transformation into loans and investments. These goals can be achieved through solving practical problems of increasing the capitalization of credit institutions, restoring and strengthening confidence in the Russian banking system on the part of investors and depositors. The reform of the banking system requires further development of banking supervision over the activities of credit institutions, the transfer of the latter to international accounting and reporting standards, improvement of the taxation and accounting system in determining the tax base; conducting a comprehensive management analysis of the financial and economic activities of commercial banks. It is necessary to focus on such concepts of a market economy as business activity, liquidity, solvency, creditworthiness of commercial banks, profitability threshold, margin of financial stability (safety zone), degree of risk, effect of financial leverage, etc., as well as the methodology of their analysis. The main purpose of the analysis is to identify and eliminate deficiencies in financial activities in a timely manner and to find reserves for improving the financial situation of a commercial bank and its solvency.
Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy: Amnestic-predominant cognitive decline beyond Alzheimer’s disease
Authors: Maltuna Miren
Published: May 2024

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the main cause of neurodegenerative cognitive impairment leading to dementia. It is characterized by progressively worsening cognitive impairment with a predominant amnestic involvement. However, it is not the sole neurodegenerative disease presenting such symptoms, particularly prevalent among the elderly in our society. Recently, limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) has been identified. The diagnosis of LATE in living individuals is very complex due to the lack of universally applicable diagnostic criteria and reliable biomarkers. Nonetheless, its relevance is not diminished, as up to 20% of cases diagnosed with AD, especially in individuals over 80 years old, are actually due to LATE, and over 50% of AD cases have associated LATE copathology. This narrative review aims to address several aspects related to LATE, including identifying its typical clinical features, gaining a better understanding of its pathogenesis in pure cases and those associated with other neurodegenerative diseases, advancements in diagnostic tools for detecting LATE during life, its anatomopathological definition and staging, and potential advances in treatment. In the current era of potentially disease-modifying anti-amyloid treatments for AD, understanding both pure LATE and its co-pathology with AD is of particular relevance.

Published: May 2024

Peripheral schwannomas are typically benign tumors originating from Schwann cells of peripheral nerves. Although often asymptomatic, such tumors may present diagnostic challenges since they resemble other known structures, leading to potential misinterpretations. Here, we present the case of a 17-year-old patient with a cervical mass that initially posed a diagnostic dilemma, resembling a cervical lymph node on clinical examination. The calcified nature of the tumor added complexity to its identification, and our case underscores the significance of a good diagnostic evaluation. The literature on calcified peripheral schwannomas is scarce, but the current case contributes to the understanding of atypical presentations. Diagnostic modalities, including imaging studies and histopathological examination, play a pivotal role in confirming the schwannoma diagnosis and differentiating it from other entities. Surgical excision remains the primary treatment, but awareness of varied presentations is crucial for accurate management. This case report serves as a valuable addition to the literature, highlighting calcified peripheral schwannomas mimicking cervical lymph nodes. Medical practitioners should maintain a high index of suspicion for schwannomas in unusual clinical cases, ensuring accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

Authors: Suprapto Widjojo , Williamsto Angeline Putri , Palumian Yonathan
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this research is to explore how innovative work behavior (IWB) is constructed in a hospitality industry. Hospitality industry is one of highly standardized operating procedure industries. SOP often leaves less room for improvisation and innovation because every activity is standardized and evaluated based on the SOP. However, customers demand highly customized services that often need the creativity of the employees to meet the customers’ expectations. Therefore, this study is examining the influence of psychological empowerment and work engagement on IWB among the hotel employees. As quantitative research, the data were gathered using questionnaires which were distributed to 250 respondents, with 205 valid questionnaires. The respondents were the employees of three-to-five-star hotels who had been working for at least one year. Then, the collected data were processed and analyzed with the help of smartPLS software. This study finds that psychological empowerment does not influence significantly on IWB. However, work engagement influences significantly on IWB, and work engagement also mediates psychological empowerment and IWB.Keywords: innovative work behavior; psychological empowerment; work engagement; hotel management.ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah mengeksplorasi bagaimana perilaku kerja inovatif (IWB) terbentuk di industri perhotelan.

Published: May 2024

Aim: There is limited data on prognostic value of baseline plasma cell free DNA (cfDNA) in advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sq-NSCLC). This prospective observational study aimed to assess change in plasma cfDNA levels in locally-advanced/metastatic sq-NSCLC with chemotherapy and its correlation with symptom-scores and radiological-responses.
Methods: Chemotherapy-naive patients with stages-IIIB/IIIC/IV sq-NSCLC (n = 59), smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD, COPD-controls (CC); n = 27] and healthy-controls (n = 25) were enrolled. Respiratory symptom burden (RSB) and total symptom burden (TSB) were calculated from mean visual-analog-scores (VAS) of dyspnoea, cough, chest pain, hemoptysis RSB, anorexia and fatigue (all six for TSB). cfDNA was isolated from peripheral blood. All patients received platinum-doublet chemotherapy. RSB/TSB/cfDNA assessment and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT)-thorax scans were done at baseline and post-chemotherapy.
Results: At baseline, 13/59 (22%) sq-NSCLC, 3/27 (11%) CC and none (0%) healthy-controls had detectable cfDNA. All three CC were heavy smokers with no evidence of malignancy and undetectable cfDNA levels on repeat testing. In sq-NSCLC group, majority were males (95%), current-smokers (88%), heavy-smokers (70%), had metastatic disease (59%) with median age of 65 years. Eastern Co-operative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) was 0–1 (56%) and 2 (42%). Median RSB- and TSB-scores were 9 [interquartile range (IQR) = 5–14] and 16 (IQR = 9–23), respectively. Of the 59 patients, 54 received ≥ 1 cycle while 27 underwent post-C4 evaluation with detectable cfDNA levels in 18/27 (66.7%). No baseline characteristic correlated with cfDNA detectability. Median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 262 days and 167 days, respectively. ECOG PS ≥ 2, RSB-score > 9 and TSB-score > 16 were all associated with worse OS and PFS as was cfDNA detectability [median OS = 97 days vs. 298 days and median PFS = 97 days vs. 197 days; P = 0.025; hazard ratio (HR) = 2.17].
Conclusions: Baseline cfDNA detectability is independently associated with poor OS and PFS in patients with advanced sq-NSCLC on chemotherapy.
Mechanisms of Connective Tissue Damage in Fibromuscular Dysplasia and Atherosclerosis: Visualization Possibilities
Authors:   Surgut State Pedagogical University, Byrina Anna Yu. , Mal’kov Oleg A.
Published: May 2024

Multifocality, high prevalence and lack of consensus on the etiopathogenesis of atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) in the human population are well known. However, the issues of comorbidity and mechanisms of connective tissue damage in these pathologies remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the leading causes of pathological arterial stenosis in patients with clinical signs of vascular disorders. Materials and methods. The research involved 67 patients (mean age 51.12 ± 13.12 years) with clinical signs of vascular disorders, who had received neurological or neurosurgical treatment at Surgut Clinical Trauma Hospital. The subjects underwent computed tomography angiography of brachiocephalic and intracranial vessels. To assess the internal stigmatization of the processes under study, author’s scales were developed. Results. The data of the author’s scales clearly indicate the influence of the genetically determined FMD process on the manifestations of atherosclerosis. The most frequent combinations of FMD stigmas and atherosclerotic lesions identified in the course of the study can serve as markers of the severity of these pathologies. The results allow us to view FMD and atherosclerosis in the context of morphofunctional connective tissue disorders. Paradoxically, despite the systemic nature of the two processes, their gross manifestations were clearly localized. This is probably due to the time interval of connective tissue cell damage and its nature. In our opinion, pathology in atherosclerosis develops during postnatal ontogenesis due to the increasing cytokinetic activity of connective tissue cells under the influence of various factors (atherogenic lipoproteins circulating in the vascular bed, microbiome disturbance, etc.). In FMD, fibroblasts get damaged by genetic mutations at the stage of embryonic development (vasculogenesis), gross stigmas are formed in areas of blood vessels with the most rapid growth due to the haemodynamic conditions of the onset of blood circulation (angiogenesis).

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to objectively assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation using balneotherapy with velvet antler products. Materials and methods. Doppler assessment of coronary artery blood flow was performed. As a reference vessel, we chose the anterior descending artery, which is the largest branch of the left coronary artery and has its own numerous branches providing blood supply to the main part of the functionally active left ventricle myocardium. We studied the following groups of patients, whose rehabilitation included balneotherapy with velvet antler products: 1) 48 subjects with stage 2 arterial hypertension and 2) 49 subjects with coronary artery disease after balloon angioplasty and coronary artery stenting. In addition to balneotherapy, group 1 received standard hypotensive therapy with angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors, beta blockers and thiazide diuretics, while group 2 was given indirect anticoagulants, beta blockers and new generation statins. Before and upon completing the treatment course, each patient’s peak blood flow velocity was measured, as well as blood flow integral in the proximal segment of the anterior descending artery. Results. After the balneotherapy course, most patients in both groups showed quiet and increased activation of high reactivity level. According to our observations, patients tolerated the treatment well. Initially, peak blood flow velocity and blood flow integral were recorded within the range of 28–45 cm/s (mean: 36.9 ± 4.4 cm/s) and 9–14 cm (mean: 11.00 ± 1.25 cm), respectively, without between-group differences. After the multimodality treatment that included balneotherapy with velvet antler products, these parameters were recorded within the range of 39–52 cm/s (mean: 45.7 ± 3.5 cm/s) and 11–16 cm (mean: 14.0 ± 1.3 cm), respectively, with no between-group differences either. The increase in peak blood flow velocity was statistically significant (p ˂ 0.001). Thus, balneotherapy using innovative velvet antler products combined with medication treatment and physical therapy, presumably, contributed to improving coronary blood circulation in patients with stable ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension.

The age of 5–6 years is an important stage in the development of the child’s executive functions. It is traditionally considered a sensitive period, which is complicated by the transition from the pre-school to the primary school educational system. A child’s future academic success depends on the degree of development of executive functions (EF). Identifying specific EF components that are closely related to school readiness can help devise optimal educational approaches to pre-schoolers. Early diagnosis of certain signs of control function immaturity can help correct them in order to develop all the components of voluntary attention. The purpose of this paper is to assess the development of executive functions in children aged 5–6 years. Materials and methods. The longitudinal study was conducted between 2020 and 2022 and involved 15 children (9 boys and 6 girls) aged 5 to 6 years without a history of neurological and mental diseases, attending the same preschool (in the city of Arkhangelsk) that conforms to modern educational standards. The testing was carried out at the beginning and at the end of each academic year. Results. Having compared the parameters under study in children aged 5–6 years, we found uneven development of the EF components. Progressive changes at this age concern the functions of selective regulation, control, and following certain programmes of activities. The integral indicator of the total EF deficit follows a noticeable downward trend. This can also be evidenced by significant direct correlations between the EF components and academic success.

Isolating Others ——Origins, Mechanisms and Evolution
Authors: You Xilin
Published: May 2024

The behavior of isolating others is the alienation of life self-organization of exclusion mechanism. Isolation in modern society has evolved into a daily political game pattern, and isolation, more generally, is a hidden psychological activity. This deep field of social philosophy has yet to be revealed and reflected so far. At the core of isolation is personality denigration, thus indicating the deep origin of the core concept of contemporary social science, “social exclusion”. The group custom of isolating dissidents suppresses the personality and innovation of free individuals and leads to gangs and closed rigidity of the community. Reflecting on and revealing the anti-modernization nature associated with isolation, while simultaneously indicating the institutional and mechanistic construction of China's modernized harmonious society goal. The division of labor and market exchange in modern society contains ethical implications neglected by popular understandings that emphasize individual competition: the differences formed based on functional differentiation and individual liberation in modern society not only stimulate competition, but also create an inherent need for solidarity among individuals in terms of complementary dependence and mutual attraction. The contemporary society centered on information exchange promotes this direction to a universal dependence mechanism. The modern concept of free personality is not individualism but the internal mechanism of collective social cohesion and innovative life. Exclusive isolation and its closed community no longer have the basis of a modern system.
Inescapable "absurdity": Rethinking Luther and Calvin’s view of “presence of the body of Christ” in the Lord’s Supper
Authors: Fangzhou Li
Published: May 2024

Given the general lack of understanding among Chinese Protestant churches regarding the " Eucharistic theology" in the tradition of the Reformation, as well as the challenges posed by the global COVID-19 pandemic to administration of the sacrament, this article comparatively analyzes Martin Luther and John Calvin's understanding of the "presence of the body of Christ" in the Lord's Supper. This not only involves differences in their respective views on the sacrament but also the underlying theological debates regarding "Christology" and hermeneutics, particularly concerning the relationship between "faith" and "reason." The article emphasizes the necessity of re-focusing the "presence of the body of Christ," which not only clarifies orthodox Christological thoughts, but also concerns the realistic practice of "communion and unity in Christ." Through examining the theological expositions of Luther and Calvin, this article offers new insights into the understanding of the "presence of the body of Christ" in the Lord's Supper and provides a theological foundation for the contemporary church to administrate the sacrament during extraordinary times. This will help Chinese Protestant churches better understand the core significance of the Lord's Supper and promote the ecumenical movement of the universal Church.
A Full Accounting of the Visible Mass in SDSS MaNGA Disk Galaxies
Authors: Ravi Nitya , Douglass Kelly A. , Demina Regina
Published: May 2024

We present a study of the ratio of visible mass to total mass in spiral galaxies to better understand the relative amount of dark matter present in galaxies of different masses and evolutionary stages. Using the velocities of the Hα emission line measured in spectroscopic observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) MaNGA Data Release 17 (DR 17), we evaluate the rotational velocity of over 5500 disk galaxies at their 90% elliptical Petrosian radii, R
90. We compare this to the velocity expected from the total visible mass, which we compute from the stellar, H i, H2, and heavy metals and dust masses. H2 mass measurements are available for only a small subset of galaxies observed in SDSS MaNGA DR17, so we derive a parameterization of the H2 mass as a function of absolute magnitude in the r band using galaxies observed as part of SDSS DR7. With these parameterizations, we calculate the fraction of visible mass within R
90 that corresponds to the observed velocity. Based on statistically analyzing the likelihood of this fraction, we conclude that the null hypothesis (no dark matter) cannot be excluded at a confidence level better than 95% within the visible extent of the disk galaxies. We also find that when all mass components are included, the ratio of visible to total mass within the visible extent of star-forming disk galaxies increases with galaxy luminosity.
Magnetic Helicity Signs and Flaring Propensity: Comparing the Force-free Parameter with the Helicity Signs of Hα Filaments and X-Ray Sigmoids
Authors: Aparna V. , Georgoulis Manolis K. , Martens Petrus C.
Published: May 2024

Sigmoids produce strong eruptive events. Earlier studies have shown that the ICME axial magnetic field Bz can be predicted with some credibility by observing the corresponding filament or the polarity inversion line in the region of eruption and deriving the magnetic field direction from that. Sigmoids are coronal structures often associated with filaments in the sigmoidal region. In this study, we compare filament chirality with sigmoid handedness to observe their correlation. Second, we perform nonlinear force-free approximations of the coronal magnetic connectivity using photospheric vector magnetograms underneath sigmoids to obtain a weighted-average value of the force-free parameter and to correlate it with filament chirality and the observed coronal sigmoid handedness. Importantly, we find that the sigmoids and their filament counterparts do not always have the same helicity signs. Production of eruptive events by regions that do not have the same signs of helicities is ∼3.5 times higher than when they do. A case study of magnetic energy/ helicity evolution in NOAA AR 12473 is also presented.

Clusters and their progenitors (protoclusters) at z ∼ 2 − 4, the peak epoch of star formation, are ideal laboratories to study the formation process of both the clusters themselves and their member galaxies. However, a complete census of their member galaxies has been challenging due to observational difficulties. Here we present new JWST/NIRCam observations targeting the distant cluster CLJ1001 at z = 2.51 from the COSMOS-Web program, which, in combination with previous narrowband imaging targeting Hα emitters and deep millimeter surveys of CO emitters, provide a complete view of massive galaxy assembly in CLJ1001. In particular, JWST reveals a population of massive, extremely red cluster members in the long-wavelength bands that were invisible in previous Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/F160W imaging (HST-dark members). Based on this highly complete spectroscopic sample of member galaxies, we show that the spatial distribution of galaxies in CLJ1001 exhibits a strong central concentration, with the central galaxy density already resembling that of low-z clusters. Moreover, we reveal a “top-heavy” stellar mass function for the star-forming galaxies (SFGs), with an overabundance of massive SFGs piled up in the cluster core. These features strongly suggest that CLJ1001 is caught in a rapid transition, with many of its massive SFGs likely soon becoming quiescent. In the context of cluster formation, these findings suggest that the earliest clusters form from the inside out and top to bottom, with the massive galaxies in the core assembling first, followed by the less massive ones in the outskirts.

We report radar, photometric, and visible-wavelength spectrophotometry observations of NEA 2018 EB obtained in 2018. The radar campaign started at Goldstone (8560 MHz, 3.5 cm) on April 7, and it was followed by more extensive observations from October 5 to 9 by both Arecibo (2380 MHz, 12.6 cm) and Goldstone. 2018 EB was observed optically on April 5, 8, and 9 and again on October 18. Spectrophotometry was obtained on October 19 with the SOAR telescope, and the data suggest that 2018 EB is an Xk-class object. The echo power spectra and delay-Doppler radar images revealed that 2018 EB is a binary system. Radar images constrained the satellite's diameter to

An integrated taxonomic revision of Ctonoxylon (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) reveals new Malagasy species originating from multiple recent colonisations of the island
Authors: Jordal Bjarte H.
Published: May 2024

Ctonoxylon is a strictly Afrotropical genus of bark beetles breeding under bark of rainforest trees and lianas. A taxonomic revision of the genus included a molecular phylogenetic analysis of ten species based on three gene fragments and was compared to a morphology-based tree topology for all 24 currently recognised species. Four species are described as new to science: Ctonoxylon torquatum, sp. nov., Ctonoxylon tuberculatum, sp. nov., Ctonoxylon quadrispinum, sp. nov., all from Madagascar, and Ctonoxylon pilosum, sp. nov. from Cameroon. Ctonoxylon hirsutum Hagedorn, 1910, stat. rev. is resurrected from synonymy with C. flavescens Hagedorn, 1910, and C. atrum Browne, 1965 stat. rev. from its synonymy with C. methneri Eggers, 1922 (as C. hamatum Schedl, 1941). The following species have new synonymies suggested: Ctonoxylon festivum Schedl, 1941 (= C. dentigerum Schedl, 1941, syn. nov.), C. methneri Eggers, 1922 (= C. hamatum Schedl, 1941, syn. nov., = C. griseum Schedl, 1941, syn. nov.), C. montanum Eggers, 1922 (= C. longipilum Eggers, 1935, syn. nov., = C. nodosum Eggers, 1940, syn. nov.), C. camerunum Hagedorn, 1910 (= C. conradti Schedl, 1939, syn. nov.), and C. spinifer Eggers, 1920 (= C. setifer Eggers, 1920, syn. nov.). New country records are noted for C. festivum (Tanzania), C. flavescens (Uganda), C. camerunum (Liberia), C. crenatum Hagedorn, 1910 (Democratic Republic of the Congo), C. spathifer Schedl, 1941 (Ghana), C. atrum (Cameroon), and C. spinifer (Madagascar), with patterns in distribution and colonisation of Madagascar discussed. An identification key with pictures of all species is provided.

La sociologie est-elle toujours en crise ?
Authors: Boltanski Luc , Esquerre Arnaud , Lazarus Jeanne
Published: May 2024

Pour analyser la situation de la sociologie, on peut distinguer, à partir du cas français, les attaques externes et les disputes internes à la discipline, en cherchant à comprendre comment celles-ci se combinent. Le rôle d’instance critique de la sociologie peut se comprendre selon quatre modalités d’expression, distribuées d’une part entre critique artiste et critique sociale, d’autre part entre réformisme et contestation. Or ce rôle critique de la sociologie tend, par ailleurs, vers deux modèles de fonctionnement, celui de l’innovation scientifique et celui des avant-gardes artistiques. Lorsque la fonction critique de la sociologie se conjugue avec le modèle d’avant-garde et que crise interne et attaque interne s’articulent l’une avec l’autre, l’intensité du sentiment d’une mise en danger de la discipline est maximale.
Le droit du dommage corporel à l’épreuve de la fin de vie

Résumé Si la fin de vie constitue sans conteste l’atteinte la plus grave qui peut exister à l’intégrité corporelle (donc à la personne humaine), son indemnisation par le droit du dommage corporel suppose qu’un préjudice découle de ce dommage pour une personne juridique.
Numérique et fin de vie : entre apologie et prévention du suicide
Authors: Béguin-Faynel Céline
Published: May 2024

Résumé Face au suicide, la protection de la santé mentale s’impose, spécialement pour les mineurs. L’exposition à ce risque est démultipliée de manière exponentielle par les algorithmes des réseaux sociaux et des moteurs de recherche, qui créent une bulle de filtre autour de l’internaute, lequel peut se trouver dans un tourbillon de messages et de recommandations concernant le suicide, l’incitant à passer à l’acte. Les outils de contrôle mis en place récemment, notamment par le Digital Service Act et la répression pénale, sont à explorer.
Le retour de l'inflation en France
Authors: Plane Mathieu , Vermersch Gaston
Published: May 2024

Après avoir atteint 5,2 % en 2022, puis 4,9 % en 2023, l'inflation en France devrait revenir en dessous des 3 % en 2024, puis converger vers les 2 % au-delà. Si l'épisode inflationniste a été d'une relative courte durée, cela s'explique, d'une part, via le reflux des prix de l'énergie ainsi que des politiques publiques actives ayant limité l'inflation énergétique et, d'autre part, via la dynamique salariale qui n'a pas suivi l'inflation, au détriment du pouvoir d'achat des salariés. Ainsi, le reflux actuel de l'inflation est peu lié à la politique monétaire et passe d'abord par la baisse des prix de l'énergie et la désindexation des salaires. Enfin, une inflation plus élevée, mais maîtrisée, permettrait d'alléger le poids de la dette, en augmentant la croissance potentielle nominale, dans une économie française très largement marquée par des emprunts à taux fixe et à maturité longue.

Choc inflationniste dans les pays émergents et en développement
Authors: Jacquet Pierre
Published: May 2024

Le choc inflationniste mondial a touché les pays en développement de façon différenciée. Ses effets ont été renforcés par les réponses des politiques monétaires dans les pays développés. Il représente surtout un choc majeur, à la fois en termes d'accroissement de la pauvreté, notamment dans les pays les moins avancés, dont il souligne à nouveau la grande vulnérabilité aux conditions internationales, et en termes d'appréciation du risque et de disponibilité de financements externes, comme en témoignent les difficultés liées à la dette extérieure.
