Authors: Mahara Tilak Singh , Dhakal Sabina 
Published: December 2020

Background: External debt is the loan amount borrowed from the international level, payable with interest and principal. It is the major source of financing budget deficit in a developing country. Debt accumulation for productive investment is a viable strategy for long-term development. To escape the external debt burden or for the external debt burden strategy, it is crucial to study the major macroeconomic determinants of external debt.
Objective: The principal objective of this study is to examine the major macroeconomic determinants of external debt in Nepal.
Methods: In this study, the external loan is taken as a dependent variable whereas, budget deficit, per capita gross domestic product, terms of trade, trade openness, foreign aid, and real effective exchange rates are taken as explanatory variables that may cause external borrowing in Nepal. The study applies the ARDL cointegration approach to trace out the relationship between the stated variables. The bound test (F-Version) has been applied for the determination of the existence of long-term cointegration among variables.Short-run dynamics is measured by the Error Correction Mechanism.
Results: The empirical result indicates that fiscal deficit, trade openness, and foreign aid are major macroeconomic determinants of external debt in Nepal. From the obtained results, it is seen that an increase in foreign aid helps to significantly reduce external debt but trade openness and the budget deficit significantly leads to an increase in external debt both in the short-run as well as in the long-run. The error correction term is found to be significant and negative, showing proof of a strong association between the selected variable and ensures the correction of short-term disequilibrium to a stable equilibrium at the rate of 37 percent per annum.
Conclusions: The study concludes that foreign aid, budget deficit, and trade openness are the main determinants of external debt in Nepal in both the long-run and short-run. Appropriate export-import or foreign trade policy, effective demand management policy, progressive tax system as well as monitoring tax evasion, effectual and productive utilization of available resources helps to reduce debt accumulation and saves the nation from the possible debt trap.

Background: Money laundering is a process of converting illegal money into legal money. This process is considered a challenging phenomenon for the financial system. To stop this exploitation of the financial system, anti-money laundering (AML) regimes are formulated. However, the general public acceptance is crucial to make the framework viable. Public awareness of Anti-money Laundering (AML related factors helps people enforce the AML regimes properly.
Objective: The paper aims to examine the relationship between awareness of AMLrelated factorsand acceptance ofAMLregimes. Along with that, the study accessesthe level of awareness and level of acceptance among bank clients about AML factors and AML regimes respectively.
Methods: Based on descriptive and inferential research designs, the study made use of primary data collected through a structured questionnaire surveyed on 168 bank customers who are of 18 years and above, using a convenience sampling technique. Descriptive analysis is used to access the level of awareness and acceptance, whereas the relationship between awareness and acceptance is examined through correlation and regression analysis.
Results: Bank customers are moderately aware of money laundering (ML) andterrorism financing (TF), and anti-money laundering (AML)along with Know Your Customer (KYC).However, they are somewhat and slightly aware of AML investigation agency and AML legislation respectively. Similarly, they have a slightacceptance attitude towards all AML regimes. There is a significantlypositive relationship between awareness of AML related factors and acceptance for AML regimes.
Conclusions: Bank customers of Nepal have a comparatively higher awareness of ML, TF, AML and KYC than that of AML legislation and AML investigating agency. However, they have a similar acceptance attitude towards all three AML regimes. Acceptance for AML regimes can be increased by enhancing the awareness of AML related factors among the bank customers. The study, therefore, recommends the concerned authority like FIU-Nepal and NRB to undertake public awareness campaigns in related areas.
Implication: Study findings can be useful to policymakers and concerned authorities to formulate positive national policies sensitive to AML.

Rozgraniczenie statutu rzeczowego i kontraktowego przy poszukiwaniu prawa właściwego do oceny zastrzeżenia prawa własności
Authors: Kozioł Agata 
Published: December 2020

Retention of title as a security on tangible assets is well known in many legal systems. It enables to strengthen the position of the seller in such a contract of sale in which the payment of the price is agreed to be done later than the handing over the good. This instrument disturbs the traditional model of sale in two ways. Firstly, the conclusion of the contract is not directly followed — which takes usually place — by the performance of the obligation to transfer the property. Secondly, the right of property receives in that way a new role to play — it becomes a security right, guarantying the pecuniary claim of the seller and ceases the function of the principal right.
In order to find the law applicable to the retention of title, its different aspects — contractual and real — should be qualified according to their nature. These aspects should be treated separately and be assessed according to the proper legal system. For example, the law applicable to contractual assets of retention of title defines if such belated transfer of ownership affects any general rights and obligations of parties, such as the right to receive benefits from the asset or to bear costs of its maintenance. On the other hand, the law of actual location of the asset as a law applicable to real aspects of the retention of title defines the nature of the element disturbing the transfer of ownership and the scope of rights of the seller towards charged good as its owner.
Can an Ecological, Multilingual Approach Help Us to Better Support Reunited Refugee Families in Scotland with Language Learning?
Authors: Cox Sarah 
Published: December 2020

This paper seeks to explore the relationship between academic literature, policy, and practice in terms of language learning within the specific context of refugee families who have recently reunited in Glasgow through the British Red Cross Family Reunion Integration Service. The paper presents research findings from a pilot teaching study, working collaboratively with participants within their first few weeks of arriving in Scotland to explore whether an ecological, multilingual approach to language learning is effective in this context. Building on principles of translanguaging with participants using their full “linguistic repertoire” (Garcia & Kleifgen, 2010) and drawing on Norton’s construct of “investment” (2013) the paper explores key themes of empowerment and identity in the classroom. The results enable us to draw conclusions regarding the balance of power in the classroom and the impact of the recognition of refugees’ own languages within the learning process.

The paper examines the impact of securities exchange on economic growth in Zimbabwe for the period 1980 to 2017. The study adopted the endogenous growth model on which magnitude and fluidity of securities were deemed to be the main drivers of the economy. The ordinary least squares regression technique was applied as the main method of analysis and as the maximum likelihood estimator. The findings of the study showed that securities exchange has blended impacts on economic expansion. It was observed that the market size (market capitalisation) and foreign direct investment (FDI) have a significant positive impact on the economic growth.

Authors: Kitsera N. , Dorosh O. , Makukh H. 
Published: December 2020

Summary. Turner syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal condition that affects development in females. The case of TS in the mother whose child was diagnosed with acute leukemia at the age of 1.5 years is presented. FANCI gene in child was detected among 94 genes associated­ with hematologic malignancies. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, common-B ІІ, L1, associated with t(12;21)(p13;q22), TEL/AML1 (ETV6/RUNX1) in a child was detected during a prophylactic examination. During the treatment of the baby, the mother had a second pregnancy, which ended in miscarriage at 8 weeks. Upon cytogenetic examination in the mother TS was revealed — mos45,Х[23]/46, ХХ[7], and the father’s karyotype was without abnormalities (46, ХУ). After chemotherapy, the child is in clinical-hematological remission. It could be suggested that chromosomal abnormalities in mother with TS may cause the chromosomal instability and hematological malignancy in offspring.

Published: December 2020

<p><strong>Purpose </strong>– The study reports the factors influencing the production of local rice in Ghana with a moderating effect of open innovation to boost rice production. <br>
<strong>Design/methodology/approach</strong> – This study employs a cross-sectional survey to gather the views of 250 rice farmers. A self-administered survey questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data was analyzed using SmartPLS software 3.2.8.<br>
<strong>Findings</strong> – The study indicates that land tenure system, inadequate infrastructure and irrigation system are the factors influencing the production of local rice in Ghana. The findings suggest<br>
that all four factors have a significant and positive effect on the production of rice. The study shows that there is a direct and positive relationship between open innovation and output of rice production in Ghana. Open innovation was found to moderate the positive relationship between infrastructure and rice output. Again, the relationship between land tenure system and rice production is moderated by open innovation. Furthermore, the relationship between irrigation and rice production is moderated by open innovation. <br>
<strong>Practical implications</strong> – To improve rice production, the study therefore, recommend that, infrastructure is provided in the rice producing areas to enhance rice production by investing in the area of road networks, rice-milling equipment such as pre-cleaners, destoners that separate stones and heavy impurities from grains, hullers, polishers, paddy separators, aspirators and graders to ensure post-harvest product quality.<br>
<strong>Originality/value</strong> – These findings offer a far-reaching approach to enhance the production of local rice in Ghana, in the quest to achieve food security. Old-fashioned agricultural methods are simply not sustainable enough to achieve food security for a rapidly growing population; hence, innovation is the way to go to achieved food security by investing in the agricultural sector. </p>
