Ambulance Drone-Saving Life One Step Closer
Authors: Prasad Shweta , Nigam Mansi
Published: October 2023

Numerous lives are lost each day as a result of ambulance services arriving at accident scenes late. To address this, our project is creating a prototype for a drone ambulance system that will support conventional ambulance services in saving lives. This device could drastically lower the amount of fatalities brought on by delayed emergency medical services by delivering a quicker and more effective response. According to a research by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), 92% of the time during peak traffic hours, the average speed is not more than 30 to 40 km/h. A prototype of a drone ambulance system is being created to give patients quick medical attention in order to handle the urgency of emergency situations. The drone can reach the scene before the regular ambulance since it is fitted with sensors that can monitor several health indices including temperature, heart rate, and heartbeat. The sensors can be used to diagnose the patient's status with the help of paramedics by nearby professionals or on-site observers. To ensure that everyone involved in the patient's care is ready to meet their demands, the drone will send the information to the hospital personnel and the ambulance. This technology may save lives by getting to the patient before the ambulance. Utilizing a predetermined phone number and GPS, the prototype tracks the user's location and navigation. A fast and precise diagnosis is made possible by the drone's ability to measure real-time health data, increasing the likelihood that the patient will survive. This flying medical drone serves as a toolkit for emergencies, assisting the medical team in giving those in need quick care.

Published: October 2023

The relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and financial stability is of increasing concern among economies. The volume and structure of FDI can affect the financial system's stability. This study examines the effect of FDI on financial stability in Nigeria between 2003:1 and 2019:4. The data were subjected to a stationarity test using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test, and the test result shows that all variables were integrated in the order of 1. The Johansen cointegration test result showed a long-run relationship between all the dependent and independent variables. The hypotheses were tested using Error Correction Mechanism (ECM). It was found that the short runs deviations will adjust to their long-run equilibrium by 17.3% quarterly. The findings show that FDI as a percentage of GDP positively affects Nigeria's financial stability. In contrast, FDI as a percentage of fixed investment and net FDI have a significant negative effect on Nigeria's financial stability. The study, therefore, concluded that inflows of FDI play a significant role in the Nigeria’s financial stability. Based on the findings, the study recommends that authorities such as Ministry responsible for trade, commerce, and investment create an enabling investment environment such as regulations for protecting investors interests to attract FDI into the system.

Authors: Makwe Emmanuel Uzoma
Published: October 2023

This study examined bank credit and economic growth in Nigeria. Bank credit was proxied by credit to the agricultural sector SME’s and credit to the manufacturing sector SME’s. On the other hand, economic growth was measured using real gross domestic product. Relevant data were extracted from the annual Statistical Bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Unit root test was conducted using Augmented Dickey Fuller method which revealed that the variables were integrated at first difference except for loans to the manufacturing sector which was integrated at level. Cointegration test was also conducted to determine long run relationship. More so, the ARDL ECM test was carried out to ascertain the relationship among the variables. The results revealed that a significant relationship exist between back credits to the agricultural and manufacturing sectors SME’s and economic growth; credit to agricultural sector SME’s and economic growth; credit to manufacturing sector SME’s and economic growth. Based on the findings of the study, the study recommends amongst others, the method, mechanisms and processes the banks use in giving and managing these loans to the agricultural and manufacturing sectors, must be maintained and improved on as they have been found to have a positive impact in the economy.
Dividend Policy and Firms’ Value Nexus: Do Walter and Gordon Relevance Theories Hold Water?

Published: October 2023

This study is an attempt to join on the argument on whether dividend policy is either relevant or irrelevant on the firms’ market value in Nigeria. To achieve this, the data were obtained from selected 20 quoted firms from ten sectors of the Nigeria economy spanning from 2015 to 2021, taking care of the variables; dividend per share, earnings per share, and market value proxied by market price per share obtained from Nigeria Exchange Group and the firms’ annual and accounting reports for the periods. In testing the specified models, all the variants of the Panel data Analysis techniques; Pooled Regression, Fixed Effects and Random Effects were employed. In addition, the prepositions of the Pooled Regression versus Fixed Effects and Random Effects versus Fixed Effects were compared using Likelihood and Hausman test respectively. The results of Pooled Regression, Fixed Effects and Random Effects found dividend per share and earnings per share significantly impacted on market value. Again, both the Likelihood and Hausman tests favour the fixed effect that the unobserved factors in firm are significant or that the correlation between observed and unobserved factors are significant. In the light of the findings, the researchers recommended among others that investors should be consistent with their dividend payment (smooth dividend payment) to attract investors. Again, this study has added to the stream of knowledge that firms should consistently pay dividends to their shareholders as a form of shareholders wealth maximization. This is a form of financial signaling or dividend announcement that will attract investors.

Tindak Pidana Pembakaran Lahan Dalam Perspektif Pidana Khusus dan Kaidah Hifz Al-Bi‘ah
Authors: Utomo Wiwik
Published: October 2023

Studi ini dimaksudkan untuk menganalisis bagaimana pandangan hukum pidana umum dan hukum Islam terhadap tindak pidana pembakaran lahan. Menurut hukum pidana umum, ketentuan mengenai tindak pidana pembakaran lahan didasarkan pada Undang-undang Perlindungan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup No. 32 Tahun 2009, Peraturan Menteri Negara Lingkungan Hidup Nomor 10 Tahun 2010 tentang Mekanisme Pencegahan Pencemaran dan/atau Kerusakan Lingkungan Hidup Yang Berkaitan Dengan Kebakaran Hutan dan/atau Lahan. Sementara hukum pidana Islam mengkategorikan tindakan pembakaran lahan ke dalam bentuk kemaksiatan yang berdampak kepada orang lain. Hanya saja, sanksi atas tindakan itu tidak disebutkan secara eksplisit dalam al-Qur’an. Al-Qur’an hanya menyatakan bahwa segala jenis kerusakan yang terjadi di permukaan bumi ini merupakan akibat dari ulah tangan yang dilakukan oleh manusia dalam berinteraksi terhadap lingkungan hidupnya. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan perbandingan dengan pengumpulan data secara dokumentasi, sedangkan analisisnya menggunakan reduksi data, penyajian data dan kesimpulan. Islam mengenal konsep Fiqih Lingkungan yang menyebutkan bahwa setiap perbuatan yang merugikan, baik terhadap individu maupun masyarakat, merupakan tindak pidana yang harus dikenakan hukuman. Tindak pidananya dinamakan jarimah ta’zir, dan hukumannya pun disebut hukuman ta’zir.

Personality for Virtual Assistants: A Self-Presentation Approach
Authors: Stanley Jeff
Published: October 2023

Self-presentation is a sociological line of research relating concrete human behaviors, perceived personality traits, and social interaction goals. According to self-presentation, people engineer their own attributes such as behavior, clothing, and speech to try to affect how they are perceived and to accomplish social goals. Recent studies demonstrate that principles from self-presentation apply not only to how humans interact with other humans but also to how humans interact with machines. Therefore, the rich body of self-presentation research can inform virtual assistant personality and behavior. That is, if a virtual assistant is trying to accomplish x, it can express personality trait y by doing z. In this chapter, I introduce self-presentation and discuss how it provides a data-driven approach to designing and assuring virtual assistant personality.

The topic of this investigation is focused in the study of the transformations and relationships of the Art Museum being both an artistic work of art and an architectural work. The concept of “work” is the result of a thought process that transverse both disciplines (art and architecture). Both disciplines have help to build the ideological and material substance of it by defining it from not only a diverse point of view, with parallel temporalities but also migrating knowledge transversely between them, building the Art Museum as an artistic work.

The Art Museum will remain present having as speakers both artists and architects that along with other disciplines will build its existence with a diverse and “participative” agenda due that its presence in the current time is not only a physical existence, but it also has other materialization without the actual building. Other existences of it will be developed and established will be possible thanks to the multiples forms of the art museum.

The Art Museum is an idea that can take multiple shapes; constructed, liveable, indecipherable or indivisible. Other realities will be possible by the multiple looks of it.

El tema de esta investigación se centra en el estudio de las relaciones y transformaciones del Museo de Arte como obra arquitectónica y como obra artística simultáneamente. Siendo el concepto de obra, el resultado de un proceso de pensamiento que atraviesa a las dos disciplinas, arquitectura y arte.

Epicurus and Grief
Authors: White Amy ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: October 2023

Distress and guilt are common aspects of grief. For many, especially those experiencing complicated grief, guilt can often feel overwhelming and be prolonged. Those grieving are often subject to thoughts of the form “If only X” or “I should have done Y.” Fueling these thoughts is the belief that, somehow, a loved one has been harmed by death. Some who are grieving, often experience the thought that they are disappointing those who have passed or, even, harming the memory of those they love. These feelings have little logical support if, as Epicurus suggests, the dead can’t be harmed, and death is not a misfortune to the dead. In this article I will outline the Epicurean view on death with the expectation that it may be useful in philosophical counseling for those experiencing anguish as a part of the process.
Christian Realism in the New American Century
Authors: Patterson Eric D. ,   Institute for Interdisciplinary Research
Published: October 2023

This essay provides a novel history of Christian Realism, its key themes, and the persistence of this analytical framework for nearly a century. Christian Realism is a community of discourse associated with scholars and foreign policy observers like Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Ramsey, but lives on today in the writings of Christian just war thinkers, international relations scholars, ethicists, and policy experts. Three generations of Christian Realism focus on anti-utopianism, anti-totalitarianism, and similar perspectives. Christian Realists share a continuity of approach to policy analyses from a distinctly Augustinian perspective. Both the theological themes--sin, human potential, limits and restraint, neighbor love--and the major foreign policy questions of war, security, and peace, have a certain perennial quality, whether the theorist is of the first (1932-65), second (1965-90), or the contemporary third generation (1991-present). This essay looks at the theological themes, the perennial questions Christian Realists address, and the increasingly orthodox theological commitments of today’s Christian Realists as compared to the theological liberals of Niebuhr’s era.
U.S. Geopolitical Strategies and China’s Challenge
Authors: Hollis III Daniel W. ,   Institute for Interdisciplinary Research
Published: October 2023

Geopolitical studies that emerged in the twentieth century have mushroomed into a momentous scholarly industry. Culturally-framed nationalism is driven geopolitically by a type of internalized nativist outlook which surveils the illintentions of foreign adversaries. Nationalism’s climax came with its enshrinement in the Paris Treaties (1919-20) ending World War I. By 1917, the first totalitarian system arose in Russia, a novel form of government that sought total domination of all aspects of life. The Cold War after 1948 pitted two opposite forms of government: U.S. constitutional republic vs. totalitarian one-party Soviet Union, pursuing an active foreign policy implementing a global geopolitical strategy. After the collapse of the Soviet Union (1991), the U.S. appeared as the singular superpower. Yet, a revived post-Mao China offered a challenge to U.S. global role. This essay explores recent developments in that competition, demonstrating that the geopolitics of both sides exhibit not only suspicion of the other’s intentions but also a misunderstanding of the respective political cultures which complicates any peaceful resolution.
Comments on Eric Wilkinson, “Mersenne’s Principles of Song Creation”
Authors: Sevier Christopher Scott ,   Southwestern Philosophical Society
Published: October 2023

In his paper, “Mersenne’s Principles of Song Creation,” Eric Wilkinson (2023) lists several aims he intends to establish. I will confine my comments to two areas only: First, on the reasons given for preferring Aquinas’s theory of the passions as the major influence on Mersenne to those of either Aristotle or Cicero, and Second, on its representation of Aquinas’s theory of the passions.
Taxes and social instability: How large corporations and wealthy taxpayers hide taxable money?
Authors: Lompo Miaba Louise , Ouoba Marie Madeleine
Published: October 2023

Non-compliance with tax obligations, particularly by wealthy taxpayers and large corporations, continues to represent a source of social injustice that fuels social instability, especially in developing countries. Understanding the strategies of tax evasion and avoidance is of critical importance. This article highlights five main strategies used by large corporations and wealthy taxpayers to avoid taxes, including tax havens, the underground economy, aggressive tax optimization, alternative financial markets, and crypto currencies. We also propose several actions to tackle global tax non-compliance, including prevention, peer reporting, active monitoring of compliance indicators and inter- national cooperation. These actions can be combined to achieve optimal results in reducing tax evasion and avoidance.
