Engaging in value chains is a way forward to promote trade flows and regional integration which will be beneficial for the trading partners in terms of economic growth and employment.
Conclusion: Pakistan contains weak investment outlay in South Asia as currently investment agreements with only Bangladesh and Sri Lanka existed. The reasons for lower FDI inflows in Pakistan include lack of political stability, inadequate infrastructure and non-transparent government regulations.
Implications: This study provides tentative picture of regional trade and investment in South Asia and the result generated can be used by concerned authorities, investors of those areas.

Authors: Ashfaq Muhammad , Padda Ihtsham UlHaq 
Published: February 2020

Background: In underdeveloped economies, the role of public debt is very vital with the intention of achieving a desirable level of output, employment and sustainability in long run economic growth. Fiscal deficit in developing economies is a common phenomenon because of low tax base and high imports. Economy of Pakistan is also facing fiscal deficit and trade deficit since its independence, so it relies on public debt to fill this fiscal gap.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to estimate the optimal level of public debt for economic growth.
Methods: This study explores the nonlinear relationships between public debt and economic growth of Pakistan by using time series data. The ARDL bound test technique is used to estimate the short-run and long-run impact of debt on economic growth. The growth maximizing level of debt is also estimated.
Results: According to the estimated parameters, the optimal level of public debt is 60% of GDP. It also indicates that increase in government borrowings will raise economic growth in Pakistan in the long run. However, in the short run, if public debt increases it will boost economic growth after some levels of public debt and it will start declining.
Conclusions: This study implies that public debt must be discouraged beyond optimal level of debt, as above optimal level it adversely affects the economic growth.
Implications: The implication of the findings of the study is that higher interest rate curbs economic growth, therefore, present policy of keeping high interest rate by government should be revisited.
Recommendations: Government of Pakistan should focus on fiscal and current account deficit, which are the main cause of increasing public debt, because higher public debt is not good for economic growth. Also, suitable fiscal policy is needed to control the debt burden and to get rid-off Ponzi game of debt from Pakistan by strictly enforcing the Fiscal Responsibility and Debt Limitation Act 2005.

In this paper, the present researchers assumed that the present state of scarcity of electricity may reveal their higher level of willingness to pay for higher energy efficient ratio as a pay-off of their improved industrial productivity. It is a proven fact that as one of the dominant indicators of national economic development and prosperity, effective electricity management procedures for industry increases significantly the productivity and operational efficiency.
Objectives: The present paper attempts to explore the willingness of industrialists to pay more for adequate electricity supply for the industrial purpose in the present context of Nepal.
Methods: Extensive desk review was carried out with a directed intension to develop insights on effective management of energy supply-related activities in industrial sector by analyzing the advances and trends as well as synergies in different intervention areas.
Findings: A large number of academic and professional research works are carried out by different researchers on electricity management, with focus on identification of energy management models, corresponding to the industrial sector that shows individual attributes, social contexts, as well as participation and knowledge, which can have cumulative effect on WTP.WTP for adequate electricity is one of the key measures for sustainable economic growth for reliable and sensible management of forecasted energy demand.
Conclusions: In spite of plethora of literature on electricity management and WTP, the solutions presented by different researchers are limited in scope. Still many researchers are working on tool contributions, but most of them are only providing solutions for specific regions and communities. There is a need to develop a generic electricity management system with tracing the industrialists’ willingness to pay for adequate electricity supply in a customized manner as a generic solution. The present researcher is hopeful that this work accomplishes this need.
Implications: Required strict policy regulations at governing level and effective programming at implementation at industry level.

Wpływ przepisów wymuszających swoje zastosowanie na rozstrzyganie spraw spadkowych pod rządami rozporządzenia Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady (UE) Nr 650/2012
Authors: Żarnowiec Łukasz 
Published: February 2020

Since August 17, 2015 the courts of the Member States of the European Union apply the conflict-of-laws rules adopted in the EU Succession Regulation (EU) in succession matters. From the Polish point of view, this constitutes not only the change of the rules applied for the purposes of determining jurisdiction and the applicable law, but also a new approach to the overriding mandatory provisions.
Contrary to other European instruments of private international law, the Succession Regulation neither uses the term “overriding mandatory provisions”, nor defines its meaning. Nevertheless, in Article 30 the Regulation provides for application — irrespective of the law applicable to the succession under its conflict rules — of the special rules of the State, where certain immovable property, enterprises or other special categories of assets are located, and which — for economic, family or social considerations — impose restrictions concerning or affecting the succession in respect of those assets, in so far as, under the law of that State, they are applicable irrespective of the law applicable to the succession.
The interpretation of this provision cause difficulties. It is not clear whether the concept of the special provisions embodied in Article 30 refers to the concept of overriding mandatory rules, well known in the European private international law, or whether it constitutes an original solution. Another controversial issue discussed in the paper is the relevance of the mandatory rules of the forum or the third State other than those mentioned in Article 30.

Authors: Плужник Оксана 
Published: February 2020

У статті розглянуто сутність STEM-освіти, в основі якої лежить не володіння теорією, а вміння використовувати свої знання на практиці. Визначено важливе значення STEMосвіти у роботі з учнями, що мають особливі освітні потреби. Зокрема, STEM-освіта забезпечує особливим дітям доступність, різноманітність та динамічність навчання, роботу в команді, можливість застосування отриманих знань у реальному житті, розвиток критичного мислення, впевненість у власних можливостях, прямий шлях від навчання до кар’єри.
З’ясовано, що вкрай необхідно під час впровадження STEM-освіти розвивати в учнів «мейкерські» здібності, які сприятимуть кращому втіленню в життя ідей новітніх технологій. Одним із видів «мейкерства» у початковій школі може бути давній вид мистецтва – оригамі. Заняття оригамі добре впливають на особливих дітей та містять величезний корекційний потенціал.

Published: February 2020

Проблема диференційованого навчання у сучасній психолого-педагогічній науці набуває нового звучання щодо освіти дітей з особливими потребами в інклюзивному просторі. У сучасній науці диференційоване навчання розглядається у контексті необхідності та можливості гуманізації освіти, як технологія особистісно орієнтованої педагогіки. В основу диференційованого навчання покладено положення про необхідність врахування індивідуальних (індивідуально-типологічних) особливостей дитини.
Наведено класифікацію індивідуальних особливостей учнів, які мають враховуватися в диференційованому навчанні. З-поміж них особливе місце відводиться специфічним особливостям розвитку дітей з особливими потребами (різної нозології, структури дефекту тощо), відповідно до яких здійснюється навчально-виховний та корекційний вплив в умовах інклюзивного закладу.
Розкрито суть диференційованого навчання як педагогічної технології, розглянуті можливості її застосування в освіті дітей із порушеннями розвитку

HANSEN’İN EVLATLARI: AVRUPA’NIN SON CÜZZAM HASTANESİ SAKİNLERİNİN HİKAYESİ
Authors: SARIBAŞ Serap 
Published: February 2020

Dünya
çapında sosyal ve toplumsal bir hastalık olarak kabul edilen “Cüzzam”, “Lepra”,
“Hansen” hastalığı “Mycobacterium Leprae” basilinin neden olduğu kronik ve
enfeksiyonel bir hastalıktır. Bilinen en eski deri hastalıklardan biri olan
cüzzam hakkında Mısır, Çin ve Hindistan’da yazılı kaynaklar mevcuttur fakat Haçlı
Seferleri süresince, hastalığın Doğu’dan Avrupa’ya doğru yayıldığı görüşü
hakimdir. Orta Çağ’da salgın halini alan cüzzam hastalığı; “Günah-Bedel”,
“Sebep-Sonuç” çerçevesinde değerlendirip; hastaların bedenlerindeki
damga/stigma olarak algılanmıştır. Hastalığın etiyolojisinde en önemli faktör
olan toplumsal bakış açısı ise, cüzzamlıların tecrit edilerek, özel kıyafetler
giydirilerek kimi zaman, kıyafetlerinin üzerinde büyük bir “L” harfi taşıyarak,
kimi zaman da zil ve çan çalarak dolaşmalarına sebep olmuştur. Orta Çağ’da filizlenen hastaları damgalama ve
hastalığın bir takım; “kirlenme, çürüme ve bozulma” gibi kelimelerle
özdeşleştirilmesi, hastalığın kendisini bir metafor haline getirmiştir. Ognjen
Spahic tarafından yazılan “Hansen’in Evlatları” başlıklı eseri, Avrupa’nın son
cüzzam hastanesinde on iki cüzzam hastasının yaşam mücadelesini ele alırken,
hastalığın sonucu olarak meydana gelen fiziksel bozukluklarla, hastalığın
patolojisi olan dışlayıcı ve itici karakterinin, toplumsal bağlamda algısını
gösterir. Aynı zamanda, eser, cüzzamlı bedenler üzerinden alegorik bir üslupla,
Romanya Devrimi öncesine ve sonrasına değinerek paralel bir ilişki kurar.
