Authors: Sabadaș Anna , Pianîh Alexei , Braguta Alexandru , Grușca Victor
Published: March 2023

The metrological characteristics of the measuring devices are the characteristics that refer to the behavior of the measuring device in relation to the object under measurement, the environment and the human operator. Thus, having the same conditions in the laboratory and a well-trained and competent staff, the stability of the metrological characteristics of the mass comparator is studied in order to demonstrate its stability over time and provide increased confidence to subsequent beneficiaries. The actual measurements were carried out over a period of one year under the same conditions, their results proving that the mass comparator HRP 200.4Y.KO is capable of ensuring the traceability of the measurement unit.

Published: March 2023

Currently, in the Republic of Moldova the assortment of red wine grape varieties is dominated by the classic French varieties. In recent decades, however, there has been a growing interest in red wines produced from local varieties. This research shows the oenological potential of the local red wine grape varieties Negru de Causeni and Copceac and the new selection variety Codrinschii, while the local grape variety Feteasca Neagra was selected as a control one. The dynamics of the maceration-fermentation process and the accumulation of the phenolic complex and the oenological potential of the produced dry red wines were studied. Physical-chemical indices of the experimental red wines were identified, including organic acids, phenolic complex, and monomeric anthocyanins content. The research allowed to establish the prospect of producing dry red wines rich in phenolic and coloring substances from Copceac and Codrinschii grape varieties.
Modernisation and the paradox of right and rights
Authors: Ciobanu Rodica
Published: March 2023

The research behind this paper has been directed towards identifying the governance mechanisms focused on the protection of the human rights, being accompanied by studies that have defined states and processes occurring in societies that are increasingly interconnected. Several stages are shown when referring to these studies: identification of the demands made by citizens towards institutions and authorities; definition of the government’s perspective on the issues of the citizens and the society; determination of solutions so that in the Republic of Moldova the transition to a modernized society occurs, in which rights and freedoms are protected. As a result, there have been identified several problems not only of conjunctural nature (such as the pandemic crisis and the war in the region, presented in the paper as a case study), which constitute impediments to the development of the Republic of Moldova, but also deeper problems rooted in society, such as lack of trust, lack of will, lack of integrity, lack of efficiency of legal institutions etc. All these have generated a paradoxical state of law and legal institutions. Thus, the article examines the combined analysis of the modernization-crisis-law concepts through theoretical and methodological incursions that make the individual-collective connection, highlighting the way modernization is seen in the Republic of Moldova and indicating the need to review the role of law in the society.
The literary work as dialogue and relationship
Authors: Grati Aliona
Published: March 2023

The intention of this article is to present the results of a collective scientific research project in the theory of literature that was carried out in a period of more than ten years (2011–2022) on the topic “Dialogism of the literary work”. These results determined another collective contribution in the theory of literary criticism. By the notion of “scientific project” we understand the PhD thesis (Aliona Grati) and other four doctoral theses (Oxana Popa, Elisaveta Iovu-Macari, Diana Dementieva, Rodica Gotca), which were carried out in the same research direction and a collective monograph. The objective of this vast project was to present the development directions of dialogic theory/aesthetics and dialogism that Mikhail Bakhtin imposed on the international circuit. The scientist insisted on the idea that the literary work is the aesthetic area for the full unfolding of dialogic relationships, thus foreshadowing a paradigm in the research of 20th century literature. The doctoral theses presented how dialogic theory was approached within some theoretical schools and systems, as well as by some brand personalities. These researches constituted pretexts for the theorization of five new models of literary criticism that grew from the stem of dialogism: Dialogic, Imagology, Sociocriticism, Criticism oriented towards the reader, Ergocriticism. They aim at modern, complex and layered literary works that represent the existence and the world with human voices in dialogue, with texts in relation and with systems in relation.
Psychological determinants of bullying behavior in adolescents
Authors: Popa Rodica
Published: March 2023

The article shows the data which have been found through a research on a sample of 286 adolescents from three high schools in The Braila County, Romania. There have been used several sequences as working tools: one for measuring the intensity of bullying and victimization behavior, another for measuring the level of self-esteem and the third for measuring the level of personality traits: extraversion, psychoticism, neuroticism, behavioral deviance and dissimulation. Taking into consideration the relationship between bullying and self-esteem, it has been shown that there is no statistically significant correlation between self-esteem and bullying behavior. Therefore it has been proved a statistically significant correlation between self-esteem and victimization but an inverse one. The case study conducted in a humanities class, in a high school with top-class students, composed mostly of teenage girls, demonstrated that most of the girl-students involved in acts of harassment-intimidation had high self-esteem. All the investigated personality traits generate statistically significant correlations with either bullying or victimization or both bullying relationship components. All investigated personality traits generate statistically significant correlations with either bullying or victimization or both components of the bullying relationship.

İslam Ticaret Hukukunda Temel Ahlaki Ölçütler
Authors: YÜKSEK Ali , CORAEVA Camilahon
Published: March 2023

İslâmiyet tüm tarih ve kültürlerde insanların ihtiyacını karşılayacak esasları en detaylı noktalarına kadar inceleyen evrensel dindir. İslâm çalışmayı ve helal kazanmayı ibadet sayarken, ticaretin evrensel kural ve değerlerini de ibadetlerin kuralları gibi kabul etmiştir. Bu kurallara uyarak ticaret veya üretim yapanları övmüş, dürüst ve güvenilir iş adamı ve tüccarın cennetteki yerini peygamberler ve şehitlerin yanı olarak nitelemiştir. Bundan dolayı İslâm çalışmayı, ticaret yapmayı önemsemiş. Ama yasak alışverişi, akitlere ve verilen söze bağlılığı emretmiş, aldatma, yalan beyanda bulunma, zorlama, karaborsacılık, karşı tarafın sıkıntıda olmasından yararlanma, belirsizlik ve risk sömürüsü yoluyla kazancı yasaklamıştır. İslâm bütün iktisadi sistemini işte bu temel ilkeden hareketle kurmuştur.

Abdullah İbn Lehî‘A (Ö. 174/790) ve İlmî Kişiliği
Authors: TATLI Bekir
Published: March 2023

Her ne kadar Abdullah b. Lehîʻa (ö. 174/790) ismini Türkçe akademik çalışmalarda pek duymasak da esasında kendisi erken dönem hadis ve fıkıh eserlerinde isminden oldukça fazla söz ettiren bir kimsedir. Nitekim her ne zaman onun ismine bir hadis rivayetinin senedinde rastlasak, hemen onun “zayıf” bir râvi olduğu yorumu yapılarak, rivayet ettiği hadis hakkında da “sahih olmadığı/zayıf olduğu” yönünde acele bir hüküm verildiğini görürüz. Hâlbuki onun hakkında çok övgü dolu sözler söyleyen âlimlerimiz de vardır. Ancak bu durum çoğu defa görmezden gelinerek onun cerh edilmekten kurtulamadığı dikkat çekmektedir. Ne var ki, herhangi bir râvi ile ilgili cerh/taʻdil anlamında bir hüküm verileceği zaman tarafsız olmak ve o râvinin olumlu ve olumsuz bütün yönlerini ortaya koyarak objektif bir değerlendirme yapmak gerekir. Her şeyden önce bu hakkaniyetli olmanın ve adaletin bir gereğidir. Diğer taraftan işin bir de “kul hakkı” boyutu da vardır. Dolayısıyla İbn Lehîʻa’nın tarafsız bir gözle durumunun ortaya konulması gerekir. Bu nedenle makalemize konu olan İbn Lehîʻa’nın, rical tenkidi işinin sübjektif ve öznel yönleri olduğu gerçeğini gözler önüne serme açısından iyi bir örnek olduğunu düşünüyoruz. Ayrıca Türkçe literatürde onunla ilgili çalışmaların az sayıda olması ve Türk okuyucular tarafından da kendisinin daha iyi tanınması açısından böyle bir makalenin faydasına inanıyoruz. Bizim makalemiz daha çok, diğer çalışmaların ele almadığı “İbn Lehî‘a’nın ilmî muhiti, hocaları, talebeleri ve eserleri” konularını incelemektedir. Çalışmamız sonunda İbn Lehîʻa’nın cerh yönünün ağır basmakla birlikte bir çırpıda zayıf addedilerek yok sayılmasının da mümkün olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

HIV/AIDS has become a big scary enemy in Indonesia. The incidence of HIV/AIDS in pregnant women also makes it difficult to achieve the 2015-2019 National Medium Term Development Plan targets in the health sector at 3 points at once, namely maternal mortality, infant mortality and the prevalence of HIV cases. The Voluntary Counseling Testing (VCT) strategy is the core of all efforts to prevent and control HIV/AIDS in the world. The aim to Factors Associated With Participation of Pregnant Women In Examination VCT. The research design is an analytic method with a cross sectional study approach. The population in this study were all pregnant women who had Antenatal Care. The sampling technique used in this study is to use total sampling technique. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi square statistical test. The result in this study there were 10.0% pregnant women who did not perform VCT examinations, 70% pregnant women who had good knowledge, 80% pregnant women who received support from their husbands, 82.5% pregnant women who get the role of health workers in a good category, 30% pregnant women who have a long distance from the place of health services. There is a significant relationship between knowledge (0.001), attitude (0.000), husband's support (0.000), the role of officers ((0.001) and the distance to HIV VCT examination in pregnant women. The conclusion is that many pregnant women are aware of the importance of the VCT test which can be seen in the number of pregnant women who have done the test.
The lessons learnt from emergency remote teaching to strengthen a pre-service teacher education course on lesson design
Authors: Van der Merwe Dean , Levigne-Lang Rene
Published: March 2023

This paper reports on the lessons learnt from the COVID-19-induced emergency remote (online) teaching and learning of a one-year teacher education course. The final-year course, within a four-year Bachelor of Education programme, aimed at developing pre-service teachers’ knowledge of the nature and process of learning and how to guide and support learning in diverse school contexts. The course was planned before the COVID-19 pandemic, and teaching and learning would have taken place on campus, with limited online activities. The ensuing lockdown in South Africa resulted in university teaching and learning moving abruptly online. We investigated lessons learnt from the transition to emergency remote (online) teaching. Data were generated by conducting semi-structured interviews with 20 student teachers about their experiences of the course. The data were analysed using the constant comparative method. Analysing the data highlighted the benefits of remote (online) teaching that should be considered when using a blended approach to harness online teaching affordances. As we advance, we will implement a fully blended approach, harnessing the affordances of both online and contact-based teaching and learning.
Gamification pedagogy: A motivational approach to student-centric course design in higher education
Authors: Gironella Fiona
Published: March 2023

This article explores the praxis of gamification pedagogy and post-secondary course design. The literature on gamified design theory and current research on its application as a pedagogy are explored. A student-centric, motivationally based gamification design model is proposed, operationalized, implemented, evaluated, and reiterated. The design process, application strategies and challenges, and resulting qualitative outcomes over a two-year implementation period of the re-designed gamified course are detailed. Student evaluations rated both the overlaid gamified structural design and the integrated course mechanics as highly motivating and contributing significantly to their success and positive learning experience. The gamified course design was able to resolve historical challenges for the identified course and increased student engagement. Gamification pedagogy proved uniquely effective for two sub-groups of students, those struggling with anxiety and second language learners. This innovative pedagogy effectively leveraged students’ unique intrinsic and extrinsic motivators to create an empowering, supportive, and highly effective learning framework.
Psicologia profunda e a realidade da consciência em Bergson
Authors: Vitorino da Silva Matheus
Published: March 2023

A partir da crítica dos fundamentos da psicologia científica e da inteligência, Bergson investiga a possibilidade de uma perspectiva renovada sobre a consciência humana, culminando na concepção de uma consciência em duração. Na contramão das tendências positivistas da época de sua produção intelectual, o filósofo propõe uma apreensão direta da experiência subjetiva, a partir de um método introspectivo, afastando qualquer tipo de inteligibilidade fundada na racionalidade prática. Iniciando pela problematização da linguagem, pretendemos acompanhar o movimento de constituição do método bergsoniano, analisando a passagem do momento descritivo, onde o aspecto empírico da duração se revela, para o momento da análise transcendental da concretude da consciência. Este artigo é uma versão revisada de um capítulo da minha monografia de conclusão de graduação.
THERMODYNAMIC AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF A BIOGAS -FUELED MICRO GAS TURBINE WITH COMPRESSOR PHOTOVOLTAIC DRIVE
Authors: Trindade G. S. , Bortolaia L. A.
Published: March 2023

The increase in global and Brazilian energy demand plus environmental concern due to pollutant emissions are motivating investigation and development of sustainable energy sources and the interaction between them. In this context, electricity generation through solar and solid urban waste energy harnessing has become an effective option for Brazilian energy matrix diversification. Therefore, in order to ratify this trend, a thermodynamic analysis of a 200 kWe micro gas turbine using biogas as fuel and photovoltaic panels to drive compressor shaft is presented in this paper. In terms of methodology, Engineering Equation Solver (EES) Demo was used to run a classic steady state thermodynamic model and a parametric analysis to evaluate MGT performance with a PV system integrated in order to assess specific fuel consumption reduction (SFC) at Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, operation. Radiasol 2 was the software used to acquire solar insolation data over the year. The fuel economy occurs since power produced in turbine does not need to be discounted to drive compressor shaft during periods when solar insolation is present or when energy generation during the day is sufficient to be credited as Brazilian legislation allows grid integrated systems. In cases that solar energy is not enough or absent, a transmission mechanism similar to a clutch should be considered as well as proposed in other studies to guarantee uninterrupted system operation. Futhermore, an economic analysis was performed to evaluate kWh cost for conventional and hybrid systems. Interest rate, inflation, construction period and amortization period are important parameters taken into account to calculated annuity factor that must be evaluated to predict energy cost. The thermodynamic results showed that SFC=0,718 kg/kWh for conventional operation and SFC=0,266 kg/kWh for hybrid operation for the best operating compressor pressures ratio. The economic results showed that payback time for MGT and MGT with compressor photovoltaic drive are lower than lifetime systems, and hybrid MGT electricity cost is lower when compared to paid ones nowadays.
THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES CALCULATION USING A MULTIOBJECTIVE APPROACH IN ESTIMATING THE PARAMETERS OF THE GEOS3C EQUATION OF STATE
Authors: Silva G. R. , Galo T. M. , Soares Jr. A. M. , Oliveira L. N. H. G.
Published: March 2023

Since van der Waals' first publication, a lot of equations of state have been proposed to represent the PVT behavior of pure compounds, as is the case with GEOS3C, which is a new form of generalized cubic equation of state that uses a temperature function dependent on three adjustable empirical parameters. In order to obtain the parameters that lead to the lowest errors of vapor pressure and saturated liquid volume predictions, it is possible to turn this problem into a multiobjective optimization problem. In this context, a modified MOPSO algorithm was employed. This method has the main advantage to provide a set of solutions that show the existing conflict in the attempt to minimize the properties of interest. Substances from different chemical families were used to evaluate the methodology proposed in this work and comparisons against experimental data were made. Results showed that the values obtained through multiobjective optimization for GEOS3C adjustable parameters provide better or equivalent predictions for all calculated thermodynamic properties. In addition, it was possible to observe a correlation between the parameters in the viable regions of the Pareto fronts: C1 assuming a constant value, whereas C2 and C3 are linearly dependent on each other
EDITORIAL

Published: March 2023

The editorial of Thermal Engineering of this issue continues the discussion on scientific research needs in vital areas in which thermal engineering has important participation. The main goal is to motivate the readers, within their specialties, to identify possible subjects for their future research. The ever growing global energy demand requires de development of alternative fuels. That demand has propelled the search for viable sources of clean energy. The investment in research and development in renewable energy has increased in recent years and the economic viability of those sources of energy has become closer to reality. One of the major downsides of the production of biofuels from vegetal sources is the use of land that would be used to produce food to produce agricultural products that will be used to produce fuel. Taking that context in consideration, the development of a methodology economically viable that produces biofuels and bioproducts from microalgae is a solution that meets the criteria aforementioned. Energy applications is the biggest assets of microalgae growth; it can generate biohydrogen, biodiesel and biogas. Biodiesel is produced from microalgae oil, gas methane is produced by the anaerobic digestion (AD) of microalgae biomass and biohydrogen is produced by photolysis in the photochemical step of the photosynthesis. Hydrocarbons with similar composition of jet fuel can be obtained from microalgae by distillation. Other than that, microalgae can be used as supplies for pharmaceutical companies with high added value product as carotenoids, for example. Microalgae can be produced in photobioreactos (PBR’s). PBR’s are designed in a way that do not compete with the use of land for produce. The mission of Thermal Engineering is to document the scientific progress in areas related to thermal engineering (e.g., energy, oil and renewable fuels). We are confident that we will continue to receive articles’ submissions that contribute to the progress of science.

According to the 2019 Indonesian trade statistics report, CPO, a product produced on plantations, was Indonesia's top export. In comparison to other sectors, the price movement of the plantation sector index exhibited increased volatility in the years between 2018 and 2020. The aim of this study is to investigate macroeconomic and microeconomic factors as they are revealed by changes in inflation, interest rates, and financial performance. Profitability ratios, activity ratios, leverage ratios, and liquidity ratios are the ratios that demonstrate financial performance and are evaluated using ROE, TATO, DER, and CR. To prevent errors in the traditional assumption test, multiple linear regression with the Weighted Least Square transformation is the analysis method employed. The findings revealed that ROE and TATO had a favorable impact, but inflation and interest rates had a negative impact.
The Effects of the Online versus Face-to-face (F2F) Modes of Teaching on the Academic Achievement of EFL Learners in Writing Skills Courses
Authors: Abduh Mariam Yousef , Khan Mohammad Owais
Published: March 2023

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) practitioners regard writing as one of the most innovative discrete skills to teach. Many researchers examined the writing difficulties of EFL students and provided resolutions and guidance. Although the viability of the planned objectives was re-examined before any conclusions were made. However, this research aimed to investigate the effect of online and face-to-face (F2F) teaching methods on students’ academic performance in writing skills.  The participants, N=44, were divided into two groups A and B and belonged to the English department in the second semester at Najran University, Najran, KSA. The controlled group A received online instruction, whereas the experimental group B received face-to-face instruction. A quasi-experimental study design was employed using the pre-test and the post-test research instruments. A test was administered to two groups to measure their levels of homogeneity at the beginning of the semester. Another test was then administered to the same groups after the first semester of teaching. In order to analyze the data, the SPSS program was used. According to the results, the F2F intervention improved student performance over the online mode. The F2F mode of participation was more comfortable and engaging for participants than the online mode. Additionally, F2F discussion produced better writing performances from the students than online communication does. Thus, despite certain benefits associated with F2F learning, further research is required in order to fully understand how F2F teaching approaches affect English learners' academic achievement in writing.

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors, called PEComas, have a mesenchymal origin with immunoreactivity for melanocytic and smooth muscle markers. Its incidence in the form of uterine involvement is rare, between 1 and 2 cases per million inhabitants, affecting mainly women in their fifth decade of life. The present study was elaborated according to the rules of the CARE case report. The patient's medical record was analyzed, and who authorized access to it and signed the Free and Informed Consent Form, together with those involved in this work. This patient underwent treatment and medical follow-up with the supervisor of this work. Therefore, this study aimed to describe a rare clinical case report of uterine malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa). Although the literature on this subject is scarce and there are no consistent criteria for diagnosis and treatment, our case in question presented aspects of unfavorable evolution (a large number of cytological atypia and high mitotic index) characterizing a PEComa with uncertain malignant potential, requiring a treatment adjuvant after surgery. The patient evolved well after the surgery and adjuvant treatment, undergoing quarterly follow-ups at the oncology and gynecology outpatient clinic, with a physical examination and nuclear magnetic resonance of the pelvis for control purposes.

Portfolio Optimization of Five Stocks Based on the Mean-Variance Model
Authors: Wang Xinzhe
Published: March 2023

Portfolio optimization, as an essential part of asset allocation, has become a core issue in the financial investment field in recent years. This paper focuses on the diversification of assets in semiconductor and integrated circuits, commodities, fast-moving consumer goods, air transportation, and streaming services industries, aiming to provide investors with a portfolio that optimizes risk and return. The mean-variance analysis, capital asset pricing model, and Fama-French three-factor model are applied to construct the portfolio. According to the asset weight allocation, the results are analyzed by maximizing the Sharpe ratio and minimizing variance. The results demonstrate that UL contributes the most proportion to the maximum Sharpe ratio and minimum variance under the capital asset pricing model. In the Fama-French three-factor model, DAL and UL provide the highest weight for the maximum Sharpe Ratio and minimum variance, respectively. Since KLIC is negatively correlated with UL and DAL has a negative correlation with NFLX, comprising these assets in the portfolio can function as a diversification. Therefore, the results are helpful for investors interested in portfolios in related industries.

As metodologias ativas de aprendizagem têm ganhado espaço no processo de ensino como reflexo do perfil profissional que tem sido requerido pelo mercado de trabalho. O presente estudo tem como objetivo apresentar/ sugerir metodologias ativas de aprendizagem que podem ser aplicadas na educação profissional e tecnológica (EPT) de cursos ligados à área de gestão. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvido a partir de um relato experiencial acerca da aplicação prática da estratégia de ensino “O que sabemos sobre?”. A técnica foi aplicada no primeiro semestre de 2019, em uma turma de 30 alunos de graduação em Ciências Contábeis, durante uma aula da disciplina de Teoria da Contabilidade. Os achados revelaram que a metodologia de aprendizagem “O que sabemos sobre?” tem como ponto de partida o conhecimento prévio que cada discente possui e ao ser desenvolvida, estimula a análise crítica, a comunicação, a gestão do tempo, o relacionamento interpessoal, dentre outras habilidades entre os alunos. Além disso, é uma ferramenta pedagógica que pode ser aliada no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, pois o protagonismo é dado ao aluno neste contexto.

A REVIEW OF INCIDENTAL LEARNING OF VOCABULARY AND COLLOCATION IN DIFFERENT MODES OF INPUT
Authors: Feifei Yan
Published: March 2023

More and more attention has been paid to the incidental learning of vocabulary and multiword expressions in different modes of input in recent years. This paper reviews empirical studies that have examined the incidental learning of vocabulary and multiword expressions in four modes of second language input (reading, listening, watching, and reading while listening). It was found that most studies concentrated on the learning of vocabulary and collocations rather than other types of multiword expressions. More attention should be paid to the incidental learning of different types of multiword expressions in future studies.

Assessing Indonesia’s development cooperation
Authors: Vasishtha Aditya
Published: March 2023

Indonesia shows a great deal of individual initiative and sees more than half the population working either as self-employed or in micro-enterprises. The government wants to invest in such a resourceful population and help reduce poverty and this is in compliance with the National Development Plan objective for the period from 2015 to 2019 to promote small to medium-sized business and micro-enterprise. Indonesia’s role in the South-South Cooperation dates back to 1995 when it hosted the AsiaAfrica Conference, a milestone in the establishment of the Non-Alignment Movement (NAM) in 1961. NAM has been the foundation of the South-South Cooperation movement. It was then certainly strengthened by the establishment of G-77. Accordingly, Indonesia has set up its Developing Countries (TCDC) and Third Country Technical Cooperation (TCTP) international initiatives. The establishment of G-15 and D-8 and its membership in G-20 are helping boost the role of developing countries in the global community.

The following paper discusses the case of South Africa in South-South Cooperation and attempts to identify and illustrate some of the innovations in South Africa’s South-South Cooperation Model, particularly the model of the South African Development Partnership Agency (SADPA). It also clarifies about tripartite partnerships and notes the success and active participation of South Africa in the IBSA (India-Brazil-South Africa) coalition. It broadly outlines the background, vision and principles that have shaped South Africa’s role as a Development Partner in the continent of Africa along with mapping its patterns of development assistance and its underlying institutional framework. This paper also attempts to provide an understanding of issues in the South African Development Assistance Framework and the need for an umbrella agency like SADPA, which has the potential to be the most innovative model of South-South Cooperation if implemented in its entirety
Brazil and the Development Cooperation
Authors: Missomal Dionísio
Published: March 2023

International development cooperation is a field of study which is gaining more importance in the last decade. A new development in this field is the emergence of SouthSouth cooperation perceived as a different strategy from that applied in North- South Cooperation. Brazil has been actively engaged in development cooperation across various regions, including South Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The augmentation of actions related to and resources earmarked for Brazil’s International Cooperation for Development policy was followed by a governmental discursive formulation, which emphasizes the guiding principles of Brazilian international development cooperation such as solidarity, horizontality, acting according to demands from partner countries, respect for sovereignty and absence of conditionality. This study will focus on technical cooperation provided by Brazilian institutions to developing countries. It is an analytical approach to technical development cooperation in Brazil, especially in the context of South-South cooperation. The main objective is to depict the reality of development cooperation in Brazil, how it is managed, the institutional setup, the principal challenges faced by the country and the lessons that can be learned from the Brazilian experience. Is the Brazilian type of assistance a better fit to the realities of recipient countries than those brought by Northern donors, owing to cultural and socioeconomic affinities? Brazilian cooperation is said to be demand driven, thereby offering solutions tailored to beneficiaries’ needs.

Authors: Singh Ankita
Published: March 2023

One of the most important principles of South-South Cooperation (SSC) is mutual gain. However, what comes along with intended gains is a whole lot more than just economic benefit. What countries need to focus on is to achieve the intended goals while at the same time maintaining or improving the socio-economic balance along with timely delivery of the projects to the beneficiary country. A detailed study of a case pertaining to SSC between India and Bhutan has been used to draw parallels to other countries facing similar situations. Suggestions that will have a positive impact on future projects relating to India’s development cooperation in the global south are offered.
