The Emergence of Zimbabwe's Economy and Its Persistent Obstacles
Authors:   Asia Social Science Academy, Mugabe Robert , Tsvangirai Morgan
Published: February 2023

Zimbabwe’s economy has had a tumultuous history since gaining independence in 1980. Initially, the economy was buoyed by favourable foreign investment and a flourishing agricultural sector. However, in the 1990s and 2000s, a combination of hyperinflation, sanctions, and mismanagement led to a collapse of the economy. In recent years, Zimbabwe has made progress in stabilizing its economy and has seen modest growth. Despite this progress, the country still faces numerous persistent obstacles to further economic growth. This paper will explore the emergence of Zimbabwe’s economy since its independence and examine the main obstacles that have impeded further growth. It will discuss the causes of Zimbabwe’s economic collapse in the 1990s and 2000s, and how the government has attempted to address these issues. Additionally, it will look at the impact of external factors such as sanctions and foreign investment on the economy, as well as the role of financial institutions and other organizations in promoting economic development. Finally, it will provide an assessment of whether or not Zimbabwe’s economy is likely to continue to grow in the future and what additional measures may be necessary for it to do so. Through an analysis of Zimbabwe’s economic history and the current challenges it faces, this paper will provide valuable insight into the obstacles that must be overcome for the country to achieve long-term economic growth. It will also identify potential steps that may be taken to ensure the continued success of Zimbabwe’s economy and help to inform future economic policy.

Lusterless Legal Education and its Challenges: A Case of Pakistan
Authors: Wahla M. Nawaz
Published: February 2023

This commentary is based on first-hand knowledge of staying in Pakistan. I am very grateful for the opportunity to teach in the Fall semester of 2022 at the newly launched law department of the National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST). Had I stayed in the United States, gaining an objective perspective and deeper understanding of Pakistani legal education and the legal system would have been impossible. Lately, there has been a massive push by the Pakistan Supreme Court, Pakistan Bar Council, and Higher Education Commission to bring changes to legal education. Fundamentally, there is a renewed sense of awakening and urgency that current legal education in practice does not meeting the needs of modern times. Therefore, significant changes need to be brought about on the challenging legal front.

Authors: Ahmed Naeem , Ul Haq Padda Ihtsham , Khan Azra
Published: February 2023

The study estimated the adaptive capacity ranking of urban union councils of Rawalpindi through composite index considering fifteen economic, social, and institutional indicators as drivers of adaptive capacity through a structured questionnaire. The required sample size was 385 households and questionnaires were distributed to the residents of thirty urban union councils at random. The results showed that union councils of MC Stadium Block B, Khayaban e Sir Syed (KSS) Sector III and New Katarian- I had adaptive capacity 709, 676, and 674 respectively. Lakhan union council was found to have the lowest adaptive capacity of 422. The difference between the lowest and the highest adaptive capacity is surprisingly high with the difference of 287. KSS Sector III had highest savings ratio as compared to other union councils. New Katarian-I was bestowed with institutional as well as non-institutional sources of loan. Lakhan was found to be weak in almost all indicators of adaptive capacity except availability of institutional and non-institutional sources of loan. Pakistan, with high mass urban population, needs to be well prepared for climate change risks as well as health hazards, therefore, new planned urban spaces are a dire need.

Authors: Mariam Shahida , Khawaja Kausar Fiaz , Khan Hafiz Ghufran Ali , Ahmad Farooq
Published: February 2023

The primary goal of this study was to examine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the adapted 5-Dimensional Responsible Innovation Practices Scale (5DRIPS) with identical measures and related outcomes, such as organizational innovativeness and competitiveness. This scale is designed to measure the responsible innovation practices of organizations aiming to achieve greater societal good in close consultation with the stakeholders. A group of academicians and industry experts established the face and content validity of the 5DRIPS. In a two-wave field survey, data were obtained from a randomized sample of 297 pharmaceutical managers approached conveniently. Results supported that 5DRIPS has excellent internal consistency, factor structure, and convergent, criterion, and discriminant validities. The scale significantly predicted organizational outcomes in terms of innovativeness and competitiveness. The mediation mechanism exhibited that all five dimensions of 5DRIPS significantly improved organizational innovativeness, which in turn enhanced organizational competitiveness. Implications of these findings are discussed. We suggest using 5DRIPS as a reliable and valid measure of responsible innovation practices in pharmaceutical organizations. It can also be applied in other small, medium, and large-scale manufacturing organizations.

Published: February 2023

International interest in the conceptualization and contribution of mental well-being to all aspects of human life is increasing day by day. There is an increased evaluation of initiatives on mental health promotion and the demand for development and validation of instruments at a population level to monitor mental well-being. The present study describes the validation of a scale that comprises different characteristics of positive mental health. The scale was validated among married individuals in Pakistan through Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Internal consistency and construct validity was explored by correlating the WEMWBS and other scales that revealed the convergent and discriminant validity. A single factor hypothesis was supported by Confirmatory factor analysis. Chronbach alpha reliability was found to be 0.90 (married couples). WEMWBS showed high convergent validity with happiness scale and relational humor scale. It also showed high discriminant validity by negatively correlating with perceived stress scale. The scale was normally distributed across the population and did not show ceiling effects. WEMWBS should plea to those evaluating initiatives on promotion of mental health; therefore, it is vital to establish the sensitivity of a scale before it is recommended in this context.

The Doctor Knows Best?: Reconsidering the Role of Expert Discretion in the False Claims Act
Authors: Jang Justin (Young Seok)
Published: February 2023

In 2021, the Supreme Court denied certiorari in Care Alternatives v. United States, leaving open a circuit split regarding the intersection of expert testimony and the falsity element of the False Claims Act. This uncertainty could lead to significant civil liability not only for Medicare/Medicaid service providers, but also for any private parties that receive money from the federal government. This Note outlines three potential solutions that can resolve this circuit split to balance between the interests of the federal government in countering fraud from the contracting process, and the interests of private sector firms in facilitating ease of doing business with the public sector.
The SEC’s VIE Problem: Why the Agency’s Approach Contradicts Its Rhetoric
Authors: Mainous Ryan W.
Published: February 2023

In July 2021, the SEC temporarily banned securities issuances by Chinese companies listing in the United States with a stated rationale of protecting average investors from the complicated and opaque corporate structure known as a variable interest entity (“VIE”), often employed by Chinese operating companies listed in the United States. The subsequent rule changes for VIE disclosure illustrate the disconnect between the agency’s rhetoric and its actions. The SEC’s continued invocation of retail investors rings hollow when they are unlikely to be affected by tweaks to disclosure rules. The SEC should make an effort to be more transparent about whom its disclosure rules serve: institutional investors, who are most likely to read disclosure documents and most able to use the information contained within them to price the securities efficiently. Academic literature suggests professional investors should be the agency’s main priority, and the current regime, as seen in the case of VIE disclosure rules, can only make sense when viewed through that lens. Investor confidence, internal rulemaking, and market efficiency would all be improved if the SEC were more transparent about its goals and methods.
Fighting Fire with Fire: Bankruptcy Committees in the Age of Hostile Restructurings
Authors: Waldock Katherine
Published: February 2023

In Chapter 11, litigation against former owners, managers, and financiers can eventually generate proceeds for the bankruptcy estate. These litigation claims have become significant, especially as more bankruptcies involve allegations of wrongdoing on the part of private equity sponsors. For unsecured creditors, who often receive paltry recoveries, litigation claims can be particularly valuable. Unsecured creditors are a diverse group, however, and it can be hard to meaningfully aggregate their preferences over whether and how to pursue litigation. This complicates the role of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, which has a fiduciary duty to general unsecured creditors. The ideal creditor to pursue litigation in bankruptcy would lack liquidity constraints, be able to gather resources and assess risk, and have experience with the bankruptcy process. Although hedge funds fit the bill, this Note shows that they rarely serve on the Official Committee, even if their involvement could benefit all unsecured creditors. A recent case against hedge fund manager Daniel Kamensky that resulted in a prison sentence will only deter them further. I propose that courts should empower hedge funds in limited circumstances involving significant litigation claims by allowing multiple Official Committees, with fiduciary duties only to the unsecured creditors on a given committee.
When Insurers Have Discretion: Lessons for Regulators from UK Insurers' Response to the Global Financial Crisis
Authors: O'Brien Christopher David
Published: February 2023

This paper examines the steps taken by life insurers writing participating business in the UK to protect their solvency during the global financial crisis of 2008. It highlights two areas where the insurers had discretion and the interest that regulators have in controlling that discretion. The first is that the regulations then in force allowed discretion to insurers in the discount rate they used to calculate their liabilities in the calculations of solvency that were required. This paper finds that one of the main responses of the insurers to the global financial crisis was to reduce the margin of prudence in the discount rate they used to value their liabilities, meaning that their liabilities were given a lower value than otherwise, with a consequent increase in their reported solvency. Insurers also used their discretion to increase their charges to and reduce the payouts to policyholders, while they also reduced risks by adopting a more conservative investment strategy. This paper then considers the effect of Solvency II regulation introduced in the European Union (EU) in 2016 and the implications for regulators generally. Regulators need to be wary of rules that offer insurers discretion in calculating their liabilities; they may use it to enhance their reported financial position in a way that is essentially artificial. Solvency II removes the discretion in choice of discount rate, implying that insurers need to review how they manage solvency in adverse circumstances. It is also suggested that European regulators review their rules to ensure that policyholders are fairly protected when insurers have discretion on charges and payouts.
Genetic Testing in Underwriting: Implications for Life Insurance Markets.
Authors: Born Patricia
Published: February 2023

This paper discusses and analyzes the problems for life insurers when individuals obtain results from genetic tests that can have bearing on their estimated mortality. Some forms of genetic information are valuable in the underwriting process, especially test results that may be relied on by medical doctors for treatment. To the extent that test results lead to better medical care, underwriting consequences may be favorable. If the information is not allowed for underwriting, insurers will experience some degree of adverse selection, which will raise the cost of coverage for all applicants and reduce the availability of coverage. This paper considers one recent proposal in the state of Florida to extend a ban on the use of genetic test results in health insurance underwriting to life insurance, disability and long-term care (LTC). This paper concludes that the financial consequence of a ban on the use of genetic information in life insurance underwriting could significantly increase the risk of insolvency; legislation that imposes restrictions on the use of genetic information may be a reasonable compromise to a complete ban.

El consumo permanente, creciente e intenso de mensajes mediáticos despierta, entre los estudiosos de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades, incontables hipótesis sobre la verdadera influencia de los medios. Desde hace prácticamente un siglo, son recurrentes los estudios, las reflexiones y las diversas conjeturas que envuelven el estudio de las audiencias. El espacio simbólico de las sociedades mediáticamente saturadas se ha complejizado y las visiones sobre el papel de las audiencias ha variado al unísono. De la “pasividad receptiva” hemos mutado a la “interactividad” desbordada. El presente capítulo recorre algunas de las preocupaciones nodales que han acompañado, por décadas, el estudio de las audiencias y el potencial impacto de los medios en el mundo de una cultura profundamente mediatizada.

Este texto pretende motivar la reflexión y el análisis sobre las múltiples dimensiones por las que atraviesan los fenómenos de comunicación tecnológicamente mediada. Fenómenos que perecerían convertirse en la impronta del modo de operación de las sociedades contemporáneas. La mediatización bien puede considerarse como una expresión acabada de lo que aquí llamamos la «centralidad» de las tecnologías y los procesos de comunicación. La mediatización dibuja muchos de los rasgos de nuestras sociedades y de las dimensiones que la conforman. Recorre el mundo de la economía, atraviesa el de la gestión del poder y permea el universo de nuestros valores y representaciones. Más allá de cualquier visión determinista, la centralidad mediática establece contornos y captura flujos. Sin que necesariamente seamos concientes de ello.

Published: February 2023

This research project was conducted to document the cultural properties of Tabaco City, Philippines, through Cultural Mapping. It sought to generate baseline data for cultural statistics on tangible and intangible heritage, natural heritage, significant personalities, and cultural institutions. This study adopted the Cultural Mapping Methodology of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. Participants of this cultural mapping were composed of 11 mappers who were trained to do the heritage documentation. Ethnography, community immersion, in-depth interviews, document analysis, participant observation, historiography, and photo documentation, were used in data collection. Findings revealed that the cultural mapping project in Tabaco City, Philippines was able to document and provide an inventory of the cultural properties of the place that showcase the city’s rich culture that could be used as baseline data in the formulation of promotional activities, conservation projects, policies, and legislation to fully safeguard and protect the city’s heritage resources.

Published: February 2023

Fıtrat hem yaratılışı anlatmakta hem de yaratılmışlara dair bir değer ortaya koymaktadır. Bu yönüyle İslam düşüncesinin temel kavramlarından birisidir. Dolayısıyla başlı başına ele alınıp incelenmesi ve çeşitli boyutlarının ortaya çıkarılması önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada fıtrat öncelikle kavramsal yönüyle ele alınıp incelendi daha sonra Kur’an düşüncesinde fıtratın yerine ve önemine ilişkin araştırma, inceleme ve değerlendirmeler yapıldı. Bu bağlamda insanın kainattaki konumuna ve fıtratının dayanağına, insan fıtratının özelliklerine, fıtratın korunmasının ve geliştirilmesinin önemine yer verildi. İslam düşüncesinde fıtrat kavramı çocuklukla yakından ilişkili olması hasebiyle çalışmada bunlar arasındaki ilişkiye dair inceleme ve araştırmalara yer verildi. Bu kısımda özellikle çocukluk fıtratının din ile ilişkili boyutuna yer verildi. Bu çerçevede çocuklukta inanç duygusu ve bu duyguyu ortaya çıkaran etkenlerin neler olduğu, bunların çocuklardaki dini gelişimi nasıl etkilediği ele alındı. Daha sonra yetişkinlerin dindarlıkları ile fıtrat arasında nasıl bir ilişki bulunduğu incelendi.

Борбор Азия өлкөлөрүндө маалыматтын жетишсиздигинен улам көпчүлүк тарабынан туура эмес түшүнүктүн калыптануусуна себеп болууда. Бул себепке байланыштуу жихадга үндөө жаатында булак катары колдонулган жана Бухарий сыяктуу атактуу хадис аалымдарынын китептеринде орун алган “Бейиш кылычтардын көлөкөсүндө” деген хадисти талдап көрүүгө аракет кылдык. Бул хадис иснад жана текст жагынан иликтенгенде, хадисти риваят кылган равилердин ишенимдүү экендиги, хадистин текстинде болсо эч кандай маселе жок экендиги байкалды. Хадис булактарынын кээ бир жерлеринде аталган хадистин текстинин толук түрдө берилбегендиги хадистин туура эмес түшүнүлүшүнө себеп болушу мүмкүн. Бул макала жихадды түшүнүү үчүн маанилүү болгон “Бейиш кылычтардын көлөкөсүндө” аттуу хадисти талдоо жана чечмелөө максатын көздөйт.
Correlation Between Japanese EFL Learners’ Attitudes Toward L1 Dialects and Japanese English
Authors: Saito Arifumi
Published: February 2023

This study explores how Japanese EFL learners’ mindset toward their own regional dialect in Japanese (L1) influences their attitudes toward Japanese English, a recognized variety of English from the viewpoint of “English as an International Language” (EIL). We aim to examine whether Japanese learners’ attitudes toward the L1 dialects they speak can be a criterion to judge who can accept and practice Japanese English positively. Fourteen Japanese college students were divided into two groups–Western and Northeastern Japan–based on the widely held idea that the Western dialect is popular a variety in Japan while the Northeastern dialect is less popular. Students participated in a survey about their dialects, read two articles about English varieties, and wrote about their ideas on Japanese English. The results show that all the students from Western Japan (7) were favorable about their Japanese dialects, and five showed positive attitudes toward Japanese English. In the Northeastern Japan group, more than half of the students showed negative mindsets toward their own Japanese dialects. The overall tendency was that those who answered favorably about their dialects showed positive attitudes toward Japanese English while those who were negative about their L1 dialect also showed negative attitudes toward Japanese English. The results suggest that Japanese EFL learners’ attitudes toward their L1 regional dialect and Japanese English are correlated. The findings can be a benchmark to predict who would agree or disagree with the idea of EIL and help us decide what approaches to take to introduce the concept.

La Escherichia coli patógena extraintestinal, denominada E. coli patógena aviar, posee atributos de virulencia específicos que causan infecciones invasivas en aves de corral, responsables de la Colibacilosis aviar. Los veterinarios tienen opciones restringidas de agentes antimicrobianos para su tratamiento, debido a problemas de resistencia bacteriana de la E. coli, que incide indirectamente en la salud humana. Como alternativa se plantea el uso de bacteriófagos con poder bacteriolítico específico contra bacterias enteropatógenas. El objetivo de este estudio fue el de caracterizar bacteriófagos líticos específicos para E. coli (colifagos) como una alternativa de biocontrol contra la colibacilosis aviar, determinando su especificidad frente a E. coli enteropatógenas aisladas de la zona, su capacidad lítica, fenotipo y genotipo. Para ello se recolectaron muestras ambientales de plantas beneficiadoras avícolas y de aguas residuales en granjas de producción con problemas de colibacilosis. Se procedió al aislamiento de bacteriófagos con actividad lítica aparente frente a E. coli TOP10F´ y sobre los aislados de E. coli patógenas previamente caracterizadas de la zona. Un total de 36 aislados de colifagos líticos fueron enfrentados a 10 cepas patógenas de E. coli. De éstos, 22 fagos afectaron entre el 10–50 % de las cepas evaluadas, 5 fagos infectaron entre el 60 y 70 % y solo 9 fagos no mostraron capacidad lítica frente a las cepas patógenas de E. coli. Los fagos con capacidad lítica más alta fueron seleccionados y caracterizados genotípicamente mediante la técnica de fragmentos de restricción de longitud polimórfica (RFLP), posterior a su tratamiento con enzimas de restricción: BamHI, EcoRI, EcoRV y Hind III. Como resultado se obtuvieron 4 colifagos con diferentes patrones de banda. Se concluye que, en muestras ambientales de granjas avícolas diagnosticadas de colibacilosis, se pueden aislar una gran variedad de colifagos con potencial lítico para el biocontrol de E. coli patógena.
Dalla Terapia Intensiva Neonatale alla Pediatria di famiglia

Published: February 2023

Discharge planning of preterm infants and transition from the neonatologist to the primary care paediatrician are key components of family-centred Neonatal Intensive Care Unit care. Growth support and monitoring, feeding choices, management of gastroesophageal reflux, neurodevelopmental issues, clinical follow-up and monitoring at home, screening and recommended vaccinations are issues that the primary care paediatrician will face in caring for these children. Many of the problems extremely preterm infants face are not yet resolved at the time of hospital discharge and will require continued outpatient management by the neonatologist, primary care paediatrician and other members of the multidisciplinary team. Parents will need to participate in a comprehensive discharge planning programme tailored to their infant’s individual needs and family resources. This article discusses the main clinical problems that primary care paediatricians have to face from the day of discharge and the successive care of the preterm infant, which is often very challenging and delicate.

Published: February 2023

Risperidone is one of the most common pharmacological treatments for psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. Although over the last decades its efficacy and its relatively safe and easy use have been confirmed for several psychiatric disorders, its indication remains confined to the treatment of severe irritability in subjects over 5 years with disruptive behavioural disorders and intellectual disability. Recently, its use has been approved under law 648 for autism related irritability, Tourette Disorder and as an add-on therapy to methylphenidate. The most common adverse effects include increased appetite and weight, somnolence, hyperprolactinaemia, glucose as well as lipid profile alteration and need an appropriate baseline and follow up assessment. The paper reports treatment indications, information about the mechanism of action, the Italian indications and the answers to the most frequent queries for a correct clinical and pharmacological monitoring of such patients.

Aim: To evaluate the outcomes of Pioglita zone and Metformin on anthropometric, metabolic and endocrine variables in PCOS. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was executed at Pharmacology Department of Bahria University Medical and Dental College in collaboration with Mamji Hospital Karachi from September 2018 to March 2019. Eighty PCOS infertile patients as per Rotterdam 2003 criteria,aged 20-40 years were enrolled. They were divided into two groups of 40 patients each by using computer generated numbers. All patients had fasting insulin levels of >9 μU/mL, serum glucose levels ≥126 mg/dl and suffering from oligomenorrhoea or amenorrhoea. Group A received Tablet Pioglitazone 30 mg once daily and group B was given tablet Metformin 500 mg for three months along with lifestyle changes. Results: Sixty-one participants completed the study. Anthropometric variables included weight, BMI and W/H ratio. Metformin treated group reduced more weight and BMI as compared to Pioglitazone. Metabolic variables included glycaemic indices, lipid profile and hs-CRP estimation. Pioglitazone group improved glycaemic indices more compared to Metformin. Serum progesterone level was significantly increased in Pioglitazone group (5.20±1.18) than Metformin group. Pioglitazone produced more ovulation in comparison to Metformin. Hence it is proved that it is better option in those patients who are unable to tolerate Metformin and cannot continue treatment for infertility. Conclusion: Pioglitazone group produced highly significant increase in serum progesterone level indicating ovulation and improved insulin resistance than the metformin group.
