ENHANCING GLOBAL ECONOMIC INCLUSION WITH FINTECH INNOVATIONS AND ACCESSIBILITY
Authors: Glory Ugochi Ebirim  , Beryl Odonkor  
Published: April 2024

The objective of this paper is to explore the transformative role of financial technology (fintech) innovations in enhancing global economic inclusion. Recognizing the persistent barriers that impede access to financial services for marginalized communities worldwide, this study employs qualitative case studies across several economies. The research methodology includes the examination of mobile payment systems, blockchain-based solutions, and digital banking platforms to assess their impact on financial inclusivity.
Key findings indicate that fintech innovations significantly lower the cost of delivering financial services and expand their accessibility, especially in remote areas lacking traditional banking infrastructure. Notably, mobile payment systems have empowered individuals by facilitating peer-to-peer transactions and enabling micro-lending practices. Blockchain technology has further enhanced transparency and security, encouraging higher usage rates among underserved populations.
The paper concludes that while fintech innovations hold substantial potential to drive economic inclusion, challenges such as regulatory frameworks, digital literacy, and infrastructure still require comprehensive strategies to maximize their impact. It suggests that ongoing collaboration between governments, technology providers, and financial institutions is crucial to developing inclusive fintech ecosystems that not only promote access but also ensure the sustainability and scalability of financial services globally.

Connectivité fonctionnelle de l’hippocampe antérieur et postérieur dans l’épilepsie focale pharmaco-résistante
Authors: Pouliot Clémentine , Couture Florence , Roy Nicolas , Albouy Philippe 
Published: April 2024

Dans le cadre d’un bilan pré-chirurgical pour des patients atteints d’épilepsie focale pharmaco-résistante (EFPR), des électrodes intracérébrales (stéréo-électroencéphalographie, SEEG) sont implantées permettant la stimulation intracrânienne et l’enregistrement des réponses cérébrales associées. Elles permettent de cibler la zone épileptogène (ZE) pour sa future résection. Cette chirurgie cible souvent l’hippocampe (HPC) et l’étude des profils de connectivités fonctionnelles permettra d’évaluer les potentiels effets délétères. Plusieurs études d’Imagerie par Résonance Magnétique fonctionnelle (IRMf) ont observé des profils de connectivité distincts pour l’hippocampe antérieur (HPCa) et postérieur (HPCp). La présente étude contribue à préciser cette distinction par une mesure directe de l’activité intracrânienne (SEEG) chez cinq patients atteints d’EFPR. Les données de SEEG ont été analysées pour extraire les aires cérébrales se synchronisant avec la stimulation électrique. Les résultats confirment partiellement les profils distincts observés en IRMf : l'HPCa se synchronise avec le gyrus frontal inférieur, le gyrus lingual et le lobe temporal et l'HPCp avec le gyrus cingulaire, le pôle temporal, l’opercule rolandique, le cortex préfrontal ventromédian et le lobe pariétal inférieur. Nos résultats montrant des profils de connectivités fonctionnelles distincts suggèrent qu’une résection de l'HPCa et l'HPCp pourraient entraîner des conséquences différentes sur le fonctionnement cognitif des patients post-chirurgie de l’épilepsie.

Pit Viper Envenomation in Two Pregnant Bitches
Authors: Hedges Katherine , Schaer Michael , Allen-Durrance Ashley 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
Snake envenomation is relatively common in small animals, particularly in endemic areas. Effects and outcomes of envenomation during pregnancy are poorly described in humans and more so in veterinary patients. Two young pregnant female dogs presented to a university teaching hospital with a history of acute soft tissue swelling and bleeding. History, physical examination findings, and diagnostics were consistent with envenomation by crotalid snakes. Medical management of one of the dogs included administration of antivenin. Both dogs survived envenomation with minimal complications and went on to whelp without complications, and all fetuses survived. This is the first description of the management of pit viper envenomation in pregnant dogs.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
A 9 yr old male miniature poodle presented with acute diarrhea, vomiting, and a distended abdomen. A large and firm mass was palpated in the caudal abdomen. Radiography showed a large soft-tissue mass in the mid ventral abdomen. The mass was mildly contrast-enhancing and in contact with the right cranial aspect of the bladder on computed tomography. The mass was heterogeneous with minimal blood flow on Doppler examination. Surgery confirmed its origin of the urinary bladder, and it was diagnosed leiomyosarcoma on pathology. This is the first report of extraluminal leiomyosarcoma of the bladder wall with imaging characteristics using various modalities.
Seminoperitoneum in a Dog with a History of a Vasectomy: Case Report
Authors: Cutchin Elizabeth , Friedrichs Kristen , Bach Jonathan 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
An 8 yr old male German shorthaired pointer was presented on July 4, 2022, for acute abdominal and testicular pain. The dog was vasectomized at an unknown age under the care of his previous owners. The dog had an enlarged, painful left testis, scrotal edema, and an enlarged, nonpainful prostate. Abdominal ultrasound revealed mild peritoneal and retroperitoneal effusion, orchiepididymitis, enlarged ductus deferentes and testicles, and suspected benign prostatic hyperplasia versus prostatitis. Peritoneal effusion cytology revealed seminoperitoneum with marked neutrophilic inflammation. Peritoneal effusion aerobic culture and Brucella canis rapid slide agglutination test were negative. The dog was hospitalized overnight with IV antibiotic therapy and analgesics. The following day, the dog’s abdominal pain, testicular pain, and scrotal edema were resolved. The dog was discharged and castrated after completion of antibiotic therapy and complete resolution of clinical signs. Testicular histopathology results were not available. Seminoperitoneum is uncommon in dogs and is a rare diagnosis for dogs with acute abdominal pain. This is the second known reported case of a seminoperitoneum in a vasectomized dog.

Policy Note: Strengthening Tax Systems in Developing Countries: The Dutch Contribution
Authors: Belt Thierry , Burgers Irene , Darecki Jan , Oomes Nienke , Schenk Joep 
Published: April 2024

The Netherlands has long faced criticism for its role in facilitating tax avoidance through its network of double taxation treaties (DTTs), particularly regarding developing countries, e.g., recently in a report of the Tax Justice Network (TJN). A review of the general Dutch tax policy shows that the country has taken several steps to reform its DTTs, undertaken domestic reforms to address tax avoidance issues, and has been offering tax-related capacity development (CD) programmes to developing nations. The authors ascertain from the results of an analysis of the parliamentary debate in terms of the contents of DTTs with developing countries and changes in domestic law as well as interviews with several stakeholders in the Netherlands and in developing countries show that the Netherlands is still likely to play a prominent role in global tax avoidance. This applies despite the significant changes in policy and substantive and procedural law. Not all loopholes have been closed, and adopting anti-abuse clauses in DTTs with developing countries – a central part of the Dutch response – has been somewhat disappointing. Moreover, the process of providing tax-related CD is not optimal, and tensions remain regarding the goals that the Netherlands attempts to pursue in tandem, potentially leading to policy incoherence. Moreover, unilateral action is unlikely to result in a reduction of global tax avoidance as financial flows – and therewith tax avoidance – are likely to shift to other countries. The global minimum tax (GMT) and other parts of the two-pillar proposal are more likely to offer a breakthrough for certain types of tax avoidance.Hence, a continued international dialogue on tax matters is needed to address all types of tax avoidance. In the parliamentary discussion on this topic, the Dutch Secretary of State for Finance reconfirmed the policy to assist developing countries in strengthening their tax systems in respect of the GMT through being in favour of a broader scope of Amount B, providing technical assistance in the implementation process of Pillars 1 and 2, and through the OECD’s Tax Inspectors Without Borders (TIWB) project. The objective of this article is to add to the policy discussion on how to strengthen the tax systems of developing countries.

Os cogumelos medicinais, particularmente as espécies do gênero Ganoderma, têm emergido como uma alternativa terapêutica promissora para uma variedade de doenças. Nesse estudo, investigamos onze meios de cultivo na fermentação submersa de G. lingzhi e Ganoderma sp. visando a produção de biomassa micelial e exopolissacarídeos (EPS). Dentre os meios avaliados, apenas dois se mostraram promissores após adaptações. Em 12 dias de fermentação submersa observou-se produção máxima de biomassa micelial e exopolissacarídeos (EPS) por G. lingzhi no meio Melin-Norkrans Modificado (MNM), enquanto para o Ganoderma sp. o meio POL foi mais promissor no oitavo dia, sugerindo a necessidade de um meio mais completo para um crescimento otimizado. A complexidade da fermentação submersa desses cogumelos é evidenciada por essas diferenças no cultivo e na produção de EPS, ressaltando a importância de ajustar meticulosamente os parâmetros de cultivo para otimizar a produção dos compostos desejados.

Ein regulatorischer Sicherheitsstaat? Herrschaftsgrundlagen und Instrumente europäischer Sicherheitspolitik
Authors: Kruck Andreas , Weiss Moritz 
Published: April 2024

European security policy is still widely regarded as the realm of national and “positive” states. In contrast to this conventional view, this article argues that the European Union – and the broader European multi-level system – can be conceived as a “regulatory” state in many areas of European security policy-making. The European regulatory security state (ERSS) relies on epistemic authority (i. e. experts) to indirectly produce European security policies by means of setting and enforcing rules. The article introduces the concept of a “European regulatory security state” and illustrates how the ERSS manifests itself empirically; it discusses the extent to which Russia’s war against Ukraine and the European responses to it pose a challenge to the ERSS; and it assesses how normatively desirable – and sustainable – the ERSS is.
Anonymní dárcovství gamet ve světle rozsudku ve věci Gauvin-Fournis a Silliau proti Francii
Authors: Valc Jakub 
Published: April 2024

Článek se zabývá kritickou analýzou dlouho očekávaného rozsudku Evropského soudu pro lidská práva ve věci Gauvin-Fournis a Silliau proti Francii, ve kterém byla poprvé řešena problematika anonymního dárcovství gamet jako příčina vzniku kolize mezi právem znát svůj původ a ochranou jiných lidských práv nebo veřejných zájmů. V této souvislosti je vysvětleno, že dané právo je sice výslovně zakotveno v Úmluvě o právech dítěte, ale k jeho faktické ochraně zásadně dochází až ve vazbě na výklad čl. 8 Úmluvy o ochraně lidských práv a základních svobod. Na podkladě judikatury Evropského soudu pro lidská práva v příbuzných tématech je poté zdůvodněno, že právo znát svůj původ je integrální součástí práva na identitu a práva na soukromý život, což míru volného uvážení státu značně omezuje. Tyto poznatky jsou následně využity jako východiska podrobného rozboru dotčeného rozsudku a v něm použité argumentace.

the article discusses a method for training an artificial neural network based on data assessing the performance and risks of investing in digital assets. It is noted that over the past few years, due to the development of the information economy, against the backdrop of the accelerating pace of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digital assets have become particularly attractive to investors. However, incorporating these financial instruments into investment portfolios and predicting their future returns and riskiness requires the use of new analytical approaches that can take into account the distinctive features of the digital market. The features of using artificial neural networks to assess the performance and risks of investing in digital assets are considered. The most appropriate type of neural network for the task is indicated. Outgoing data set and network architecture selected. The features of training a neural network are described, and the composition of the output data is also formalized. It is concluded that the use of artificial neural networks is an effective tool in predicting the assessment of the performance and risks of investing in digital assets. However, further research is needed to determine the most effective neural network architectures and topologies to address the wide range of both structured and unstructured factors affecting the digital asset market.

Интеграция данных в бизнес-процессы в последние годы неуклонно растет и оказалась ценным инструментом повышения эффективности и поддержки процессов в рамках бизнес-аналитики. В то же время в последние годы годовой объем данных удваивается в среднем каждые два года благодаря развитию новых технологий, таких как мобильные устройства и сенсорные технологии. Что примечательно в этом развитии, так это то, что производители данных представляют собой не просто небольшой сегмент сегодняшнего общества. Почти каждый член нашего общества вносит свой вклад в эту тенденцию посредством взаимодействия с новыми медиа, что приводит к генерации огромных объемов данных. Целью данной работы является установление теоретической пригодности анализа больших данных в контексте теории маркетинга. Кроме того, он направлен на освещение текущих и потенциальных применений технологии больших данных в маркетинговой практике бизнеса. Наконец, он стремится определить, существуют ли уже лучшие практические решения по использованию этой технологии в отделах маркетинга и что они влекут за собой. Чтобы ответить на эти вопросы, автор провел анализ литературы, изучив исследования и различную литературу, связанную с взаимосвязанными темами маркетинга больших данных и отдельными тематическими аспектами больших данных и маркетинга.
this article explores the phenomenon of big data and its relevance for the field of business marketing. The integration of data into business processes has grown steadily in recent years and has proven to be a valuable tool for increasing efficiency and supporting business intelligence processes. At the same time, in recent years the annual volume of data has doubled on average every two years due to the development of new technologies such as mobile devices and sensor technologies. What is remarkable about this development is that data producers are not just a small segment of today's society. Almost every member of our society contributes to this trend through interaction with new media, which leads to the generation of huge amounts of data. The purpose of this paper is to establish the theoretical suitability of big data analysis in the context of marketing theory. Additionally, it aims to highlight current and potential applications of big data technology in business marketing practices. Finally, it seeks to determine whether best practices already exist for using this technology in marketing departments and what they entail. To answer these questions, the author conducted a literature review by examining studies and various literature related to the interrelated topics of big data marketing and specific thematic aspects of big data and marketing.
