Sustainable development goals: Attaining sustainable living through financial inclusion in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Markjackson Dumani , Ayibatunibofa Agada Franklin 
Published: March 2024

This study examines the effect of financial inclusion on sustainable living in 20 sub-Saharan African countries using the panel Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) model. The findings indicate that FII, the numbers of borrowers, depositors, bank branches and automated teller machines exert a significant effect on GDP per capita in sub-Saharan Africa. The Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimates further indicate that FII (which captured the combined effect of financial access and usage) exerts a negative effect on gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, the results of the individual measures of financial inclusion, that is, the numbers of borrowers, depositors and banking penetration exert a positive effect on gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in the long run in sub-Saharan Africa. This portends that financial inclusion is a significant contributor that can improve sustainable living conditions in sub-Saharan Africa. Based on these, the study recommends the need to improve access to and usage of financial products and services through user-friendly and service-fluent financial technologies in sub-Saharan Africa. This will help increase the number of households, smallholder farmers and businesses to access the formal financial system to meet their reoccurring and precautionary funding needs in sub-Saharan African countries.

Published: March 2024

Introdução:
A neoplasia testicular é a neoplasia maligna sólida mais frequente em homens jovens, apesar de representar apenas 3% das neoplasias no sexo masculino. Logo, sempre na suspeita de acometimento tumoral é mandatório prosseguir com avaliação completa para determinação de sua natureza, a qual pode ser definida apenas com resultado histopatológico.
Apresentação do caso:
Paciente de 27 anos com aumento de volume testicular rapidamente progressivo, com marcadores tumorais sem alteração. Ressonância magnética apresentou uma lesão volumosa com componente cístico, com captação de contraste. Foi submetido a tratamento cirúrgico cujo anátomo patológico relatou se tratar de um cisto dermoide testicular sem sinais de malignidade.
Conclusão:
O cisto dermoide testicular tem uma baixa incidência entre os tumores benignos, fazendo diagnóstico diferencial principalmente com os cistos epidermóides e com os teratomas. Os exames de imagem não determinam com precisão o diagnóstico, sendo a análise histopatológica o padrão ouro.
Cooperative, Women and Economic Shocks
Authors: HARKATI RAJAE 
Published: March 2024

The cooperative can be considered as a means of independence for Moroccan women. It is the most suitable enterprise to fight against marginalization, reduce unemployment and eradicate poverty.The recent global context characterized by a health pandemic, price increases and the collapse of vital sectors, has significantly impacted the cooperative sector. The objective of this paper is to explore the factors affecting the evolution of the women's cooperative sector and to analyze its degree of resilience to unforeseen shocks. To do so, we opted for a qualitative methodology (interviews and focus groups) that follows an inductive path of exploration.From this study, it emerges that the economic shocks recently experienced have had adverse effects on the social and solidarity economy sector, starting with the cessation of activities and the return to unemployment and ending with resistance or disappearance from the market. In addition, women's cooperatives in the region of Tangier Tetouan Al Hoceima (TTA) have shown an unconditional willingness to undertake and achieve emancipation despite the many factors contributing to hinder their advancement.

Published: March 2024

En réponse à cette interpellation " Comment peut se concrétiser dans les PME marocaines, l'innovation comme voie de développement et de survie ?" Nous abordons cette problématique, dont la gestion de risque constitue l'élément charnière, par l'entremise d'un cadre conceptuel et théorique. Dans cette contribution, nous procédons à l'édification du cadre analytique de cette lecture visant à produire des outils de gestion des risques dus à l'innovation. De point de vue conceptuel, la recherche s'accomplit à l'intersection d'une double optique. La pertinence de la démarche réside dans l'intérêt croissant accordé aux PME et l'innovation induite par la mondialisation. Ainsi, nous allons montrer comment notre contexte en présence justifie de poser des regards du processus d'innovation pour répondre à des préoccupations d'ordre national et mondial, et d'identifier par la suite le faisceau de concepts pertinents pour comprendre la gestion stratégique de risque comme outil de survie et de développement des PME.

Authors: NAJEH WASSIM ABDESSALAM , BENARBI HOUDA 
Published: March 2024

Corporate governance is a multidisciplinary concept that concerns the first place the relationship between the shareholders and the manager (separation of ownership and control) in a contractual approach of the agency theory concerns the second place other stakeholders known by the Stakeholders model. In the recent past, this concept has evolved to include other dimensions (cognitive and behavioral) to remedy the inefficiencies of the shareholder approach. This article is a documentary research that explores a range of theories related to a new non-contractual approach to the firm: the behavioral approach to corporate governance. The results show that, like agency costs, there are behavioral costs (internal and external) that are costs associated with behavioral errors due to cognitive or emotional imperfections.

Lifelong Learning
Authors: Alla Xhensila 
Published: March 2024

The concept of lifelong learning has become one of the most widely discussed concepts in the field of adult education. Lifelong learning is about acquiring and updating all kinds of abilities, interests, knowledge and qualifications from the pre-school years to post retirement which promotes the development of knowledge and competences that will enable adaptation to the knowledge-based society and also valuing all forms of learning. It is the broad term for education that is conducted beyond school. Therefor it’s voluntary, rather than compulsory, and is completely self-motivated – with the main goal being to improve personal or professional development. This paper examines the scope of the field of lifelong learning, covering definitions and exploring its benefits. It also gives an overview of the skills that can help individuals become lifelong learners. Our world is changing around us in such a frantic pace that if we do not continue to grow and develop; we will soon be left behind. Lifelong learning is an essential challenge for inventing the future of our societies; it is a necessity rather than a possibility or a luxury to be considered. Three objectives of this paper are: first, to clarify the concept of lifelong learning; second, to focus on the benefits of lifelong learning and its importance; and third, to discuss crucial capacities for the development of the individual as a lifelong learner.

SummaryTheMJA–LancetCountdown on health and climate change in Australia was established in 2017 and produced its first national assessment in 2018 and annual updates in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. It examines five broad domains: health hazards, exposures and impacts; adaptation, planning and resilience for health; mitigation actions and health co‐benefits; economics and finance; and public and political engagement. In this, the sixth report of theMJA–LancetCountdown, we track progress on an extensive suite of indicators across these five domains, accessing and presenting the latest data and further refining and developing our analyses.Our results highlight the health and economic costs of inaction on health and climate change. A series of major flood events across the four eastern states of Australia in 2022 was the main contributor to insured losses from climate‐related catastrophes of $7.168 billion — the highest amount on record. The floods also directly caused 23 deaths and resulted in the displacement of tens of thousands of people.High red meat and processed meat consumption and insufficient consumption of fruit and vegetables accounted for about half of the 87 166 diet‐related deaths in Australia in 2021. Correction of this imbalance would both save lives and reduce the heavy carbon footprint associated with meat production.We find signs of progress on health and climate change. Importantly, the Australian Government released Australia's first National Health and Climate Strategy, and the Government of Western Australia is preparing a Health Sector Adaptation Plan. We also find increasing action on, and engagement with, health and climate change at a community level, with the number of electric vehicle sales almost doubling in 2022 compared with 2021, and with a 65% increase in coverage of health and climate change in the media in 2022 compared with 2021.Overall, the urgency of substantial enhancements in Australia's mitigation and adaptation responses to the enormous health and climate change challenge cannot be overstated. Australia's energy system, and its health care sector, currently emit an unreasonable and unjust proportion of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. As theLancetCountdown enters its second and most critical phase in the leadup to 2030, the depth and breadth of our assessment of health and climate change will be augmented to increasingly examine Australia in its regional context, and to better measure and track key issues in Australia such as mental health and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing.
Microplastics and Invasive Alien Plants: A Change in Soil Ecology Deliberately Impacts the Aboveground Productivity of the Crops
Authors: Iqbal Babar 
Published: March 2024

Plastic is considered an emerging agroecological pollutant while biological invasion has also become a global environmental issue. Therefore, the contamination of microplastics and the occurrence of Solidago canadensis L. invasion in the agroecosystem may be a severe hazard to soil and plant functioning, reducing yield and perhaps indirectly harming human health. Microplastic contamination adversely affects the soil ecosystems in terms of soil carbon pools and their turnover. Invasive plants compete with agronomic crops, have allelopathic effects by secreting allelochemicals, and have detrimental effects on the productivity of the crops. However, their interaction had significant negative effects on the soil as well as the crop's physiological and biochemical properties. Thus, the interactive response created a big gap in how they raise concerns about crop potential yield and entering into the food web that ultimately affects human health.
