Inflation-Economic Growth Nexus in Nigeria: New Evidence on Threshold Effects
Authors: Bangura Morlai , Omojolaibi Joseph Ayoola 
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of inflation on the economic growth of Nigeria from 1990 to 2021. Specifically, it aims to identify a threshold, if it exists, at which the impact of inflation on economic growth begins to shift.
Methodology: To assess the inflation threshold and its impact on economic growth, this study employed a novel method, the endogenous sample-splitting and threshold model developed by Hansen (2000).
Findings: The study reveals a non-linear relationship between inflation and economic growth in Nigeria, with a single inflation threshold of 12.88%. When inflation is below this threshold, it positively impacts economic growth, while exceeding it negatively impacts economic growth. Furthermore, higher trade openness negatively affects economic growth, and population growth positively impacts growth across all inflation regimes. Investments contribute to economic growth in the linear model, but their influence is statistically insignificant across the threshold regimes. Financial deepening impedes growth above the inflation threshold.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study expands upon the current body of research on estimating the inflation threshold for Nigeria using the Hansen (2000) sample splitting technique. To our knowledge, this is the first study that has adopted this technique to estimate inflation threshold for Nigeria. The Hansen (2000) threshold technique offers more flexibility in model specification. It allows for the estimation of parameters separately for different regimes, typically above and below the threshold. This flexibility can help in identifying distinct regimes, such as low and high inflation regimes, and capturing their unique characteristics. The research findings are crucial for shaping monetary policy in Nigeria, providing policymakers with valuable insights for establishing an inflation target that is in line with Nigeria's overarching goal of attaining sustained economic growth.
Afghanistan-Pakistan Political Relations (1963-73)
Authors: Khalili Zahid , Seerat Abdul Hameed , Keliwaal Ahmad Neshat 
Published: February 2024

Purposed: History of Pak-Afghan relations reflects ups and downs. Prior to the creation of Pakistan on 14th August 1947, Afghanistan asked the British that, before their departure from India, they must return back those Pakhtoon dominant territories which had been annexed by British from Afghanistan. However, British quitted India without considering Afghan demand. Pakistan came into being in 1947;
Methodology: Afghanistan raised its territorial dispute with Pakistan. It was the first Muslim country which opposed Pakistan’s entry into the United Nations Organization (UNO). In 1949, Afghanistan’s Loya Jirga declared that they did not recognize the Durand Line as its international border with Pakistan. It also extended its support to an independent Pakhtoonistan and affirmed that it would continue its efforts in this regard. Afghanistan’s this stand made the future course of Pak-Afghan relations.
Findings: The study highlights and analyzes the role of different events and personalities which affected Pak-Afghan relations deeply during 1963 till 1973.
Unique Contributor to Theory, Policy and Practice: It concludes that the issues of Durand Line and Pakhtoonistan are the two major bottle-necks in the way of cordial relations between the two countries.
Let’s Talk About Ethics: Addressing Ethical Tensions and Building Moral Resilience in the Occupational Therapy Profession
Authors: Doherty Regina F. , Rotelle Olivia 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Health professionals across all care delivery settings, including occupational therapy practitioners, are experiencing high levels of moral distress. The mental, emotional, and physical consequences of unresolved moral distress are resulting in burnout, decreased quality of care, and poor patient outcomes. Moral resilience is a teachable and learnable skill that can nullify some of the adverse consequences of moral distress. To ensure quality care outcomes and improve the well-being of individual occupational therapy practitioners and the profession, it is essential that occupational therapy practitioners be provided with the education, training, resources, and strategies needed to address moral distress, foster moral resilience, and cultivate the skills necessary to cope with ethical tensions. In this column, we call the profession to action to address the phenomenon of moral distress as it relates to occupational therapy practitioner well-being. We also discuss resources and strategies for addressing ethical tensions and building moral resilience in occupational therapy practice.

Authors: Sakamoto Takamitsu , Suzuki Hiroyuki , Machida Takashi , Nishimura Hirokazu , Noguchi Yukihiro , Amagai Teruyoshi 
Published: February 2024

Background: On February 6, 2023, a series of mega-earthquakes (MEs) struck the southern parts of Turkey and northern Syria. In the first 16 days after the Turkey MEs (TMEs), the Tokushukai Medical Assistant Team (TMAT) backed by its infrastructure visited Turkey to support a local hospital. With the goal of helping local communities and working with local supporters and authorities, Turkey is on a mission to positively impact people’s lives.
Methods: Data collected covered the TMAT support period in February 2023. All patients admitted to a hospital were registered through the Minimum Data Set (MDS) of the Emergency Medical Team (EMT) Coordination Cell (EMTCC).
Results: A total of 561 patients were hospitalized during the 16-day mission. A review of the MDS data showed a decrease in the number of inpatients. The number of diseases directly related to the disaster was confirmed to be due to a gradual decrease in TME aftershock. However, the number of patients with nondisaster-related disease remained stable.
Conclusion: The experience of EMT in the initial relief of MEs that struck Turkey and Syria on February 6, 2023 showed that a mobile type 1 EMT in the early stage while rebuilding the infrastructure is essential. From the analysis of patient profiles, it is clear that knowledge and experience of skin diseases is needed in the first minutes of MEs. In addition, it has become clear that to ensure the quality of MDS for further analysis and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of EMS, it is essential to have recorders in the EMS. These MDS recorders, called descriptors, must be isolated from the treating medical staff to eliminate subjectivity and ensure data accuracy.

Published: February 2024

This quantitative study with a sample of 375 participants from small and medium enterprises (SME) in the Ad Dakhiliyah region of Oman examines the impact of transformational and transactional leadership styles on E-commerce adoption (ECA). A multi-group (MGA) analysis was conducted to investigate the influence of demographic factors on ECA through leadership styles. Using statistical analyses via SPSS and SmartPLS 4, the study shows significant gender differences in the influence of leadership styles on ECA. In addition, comparisons were made with two other demographic factors — age and leadership position. However, caution should be exercised when generalising beyond the study's focus on the Ad Dakhiliyah region. Despite a comprehensive investigation, the age factor shows an insignificant difference in the impact of transformational and transactional leadership on ECA. This study makes an important contribution to the understanding of leadership dynamics in the digital age in Omani SMEs, highlighting the gender nuances. The integration of robust research models and statistical tools enhances methodological rigour and provides practitioners and future researchers with nuanced perspectives on leadership and technology adoption in the Ad Dakhiliyah region and in the broader context of Omani SMEs.
Keywords: Leadership Style, E-commerce Adoption, Technology Adoption, Gender, SME, Oman, SmartPLS.

Jimmy Fallon en duet avec Sophia : une nouvelle « serinette » dit quelque chose
Authors: Woodward Servanne 
Published: February 2024

Cet article discute de l’impression de créativité que projette Sophia « chanteuse » invitée de Jimmy Fallon, pour faire un tour d’horizon des créations robotiques interviewées, que l’on nous présente sur le mode de la séduction, comme la dernière technologie qui va nous assurer un avenir meilleur en nous épargnant l’acquisition des apprentissages et des savoirs. Il opère aussi un retour sur Diderot en marge du Matérialisme enchanté d’E. de Fontenay. Alter, instrument musical robot de l’Université de Tokyo, qui produit de la musique et de la voix, et même Ai-da (peintre), peuvent offrir une ouverture de créativité, sur une question qui reste à suivre. Il est moins évident de prendre pour dialogue une machine qui fait passer des paroles sans penser, comme elle produit des expressions de visage sans sentir d’affect, et pourtant nous avons fortement tendance à tomber sous le charme d’une Sophia-Sophiste.

Published: February 2024

The conflict in Syria has caused significant loss of life and widespread displacement. Northwest Syria (NWS) has been heavily impacted, leading to challenges in providing healthcare services. Attacks on healthcare workers and facilities have worsened the situation. Healthcare students and professionals have been specifically targeted, disrupting their education and resulting in migration and a shortage of skilled healthcare workers. To address these challenges, local and international organizations and institutions have supported long-term projects to improve healthcare facilities and provide a trained healthcare workforce. Collaborations with multiple stakeholders have been established to ensure comprehensive and effective training opportunities, enabling healthcare workers to better serve the population's healthcare needs. A range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programs have been developed to enhance healthcare capacity building. These programs aim to strengthen the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals in NWS. Efforts have been made to strengthen the health system and build the capacity of policy makers in utilizing evidence-based knowledge for informed policy decisions. Global and regional partnerships, along with adequate funding, have played a significant role in the successful enhancement of capacity building activities at all levels.
Building healthcare and health research capacity in underdeveloped and conflict-affected parts of NWS presents numerous challenges. Underdeveloped infrastructure, inadequate teaching and service delivery tools, gender disparities, and the sustainability of funding create obstacles to effective capacity building. The political context, coupled with security concerns further complicate efforts. The accreditation of education, and the brain drain of skilled healthcare professionals, add to the difficulties in strengthening the healthcare system in NWS. Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive and collaborative approaches that prioritize stability, security, gender equity, sustainable funding, and improved coordination and resources for education and service delivery. The lessons learned from capacity-building efforts in the Syrian conflict have broader implications for other regions facing similar challenges.
Regular p-Maps and Regular Cayley Maps of Znp
Authors: Du Shaofei 
Published: February 2024

A (topological) map is a cellular decomposition of a closed surface. A common
way to describe maps is to view them as 2-cell embeddings of graphs. A map is
called a p-map if it has a prime p-power vertices. An orientably -regular (resp.
A regular) p -map is called solvable if the group G+ of all orientation-preserving
automorphisms (resp. the group G of automorphisms) is solvable; and called normal
if G+ (resp. G) contains the normal Sylow p-subgroup. In this talk, it will be proved
that both orientably-regular p-maps and regular p-maps are solvable and except for
few cases that p ∈ 2, 3, they are normal.Regular Cayley Maps are regular embeddings of Cayley graphs. One of a special
families of regular p-maps is regular Cayley maps of elementary abelian p-groups.
In this talk, a complete classification of such maps will be given and moreover, the
number of these maps and their genera will be enumerated.
