Assessing the Reliability of Macro Data Using Night-time Lights Models: Bangladesh
Authors: Tahsin Mariha 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The GDP per capita of 171 countries is estimated using a robust fixed-effects model taking night-time lights as a regressor, for the 1992 to 2020 period. Predicted log transformed GDP per capita values were within 18 percent of the true values for approximately 88 percent of the countries. However, 21 countries; all of whom were weak in terms statistical capacity and economic development; had mean residuals exceeding 18 percent. Bangladesh was one of these 21 countries. The mean log transformed per capita GDP estimated by the model, for Bangladesh, was between 9.16 and 9.23 per year. The government reported value was only 7.68. However, the annual per capita growth rate has been overestimated in recent years, thus, the true and predicted values appear to be converging over time. The differences are most likely a result of the large informal economy that is gradually being factored into GDP calculations.
Liability for assistance to aggressor state: issues of qualification and improvement of criminal law
Authors: Dudorov Oleksandr Oleksiiovych , Movchan Roman Oleksandrovych 
Published: December 2022

From the moment of the open attack by the Russian Federation, the issues of criminal law response to encroachments on the foundations of Ukraine’s national security, which have not been resolved since the beginning of the war in 2014, have reemerged. Among the most urgent was the question of whether provisions of criminal law in force as of February 24, 2022 ensured the possibility of providing a proper assessment of the actions of persons who in various forms assist the aggressor state. The first decision made in order to solve this issue was the introduction of Article 111-1 “Collaborative activity” to the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Due to the belief of the People’s Deputies of Ukraine in the inadequacy of such a legislative step, another criminal law prohibition has appeared – Art. 111-2 “Assistance to the aggressor state”.
The purpose of the research is in critical understanding of the debatable aspects of the criminal law novel about aiding the aggressor state, based on the results of which scientifically based recommendations should be developed in order to improve relevant provisions of the current criminal law and practice of its application.
It has been proven that, despite the noble intentions of the parliamentarians, the inclusion of Art. 111-2 “Assistance to the aggressor state” has increased both the conflicting nature of the domestic criminal law and the legal uncertainty partially inherent in it, and also forces us to once again talk about excessive criminalization. Among the achievements of the legislative work related to the construction of the criminal law prohibition dedicated to aiding the aggressor state, one can only include the non-use in the current wording of Art. 111-2 of the Criminal Code of unjustifiably abstract phrases “other voluntary interaction with representatives of the aggressor state” and “any cooperation with representatives of the aggressor state”.
Based on the example of criminal law assessment of such manifestations of assistance to the aggressor state, such as the transfer of material resources to the armed formations of the aggressor state and the implementation or support of the decisions and / or actions of the aggressor state, armed formations and / or the occupation administration of the aggressor state, the problematic nature of differing analyzed crime from collaborative activity, treason and justification, recognition as legitimate, denial of armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, glorification of its participants has been demonstrated. The problem, which has risen as a result of the partially inappropriate duplication of legislative material, is proposed to be solved in one of three ways to optimize the articles of the Criminal Code on liability for treason, collaborative activity and assistance to the aggressor state.

Abstract
Discoloration events in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) caused by iron particles have occurred worldwide, and boiling has been applied in drinking water treatment households globally, but the effects of boiling on iron particles are not clear. Here, the effect of boiling on different kinds of iron particles (including loose deposits from the DWDS and their main components FeOOH, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4) was studied. At 10 mg/L, the turbidity values before/after boiling of Fe2O3, Fe3O4, and FeOOH were 134.00/121.00, 25.07/21.22, and 120.40/114.20 NTU, respectively. All the particles had a lower degree of crystallinity after boiling. After boiling, the number of particles in loose deposits increased and the particle size decreased, while iron oxides were on the contrary. Among the three iron oxides, the existence of Fe3O4 and Fe2O3 had different effects on disinfection by-products (DBPs) formation. The activity of microorganisms was the highest under particle concentration of 0.1 mg/L than other concentrations for all the particles, but the total microbiological risks were still very low after boiling. Thus, the boiling treatment would increase the turbidity and risks of the particles. As the particle concentration under low concentration is hard to find, this risk is also hard to find.

Authors: Shwetha Nambiar , Megha Mohan , Sudhin Karuppali 
Published: December 2022

Purpose:Counseling self-efficacy is the view that counselors have of their capability to practice certain abilities that contribute to good clinical service. Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) require to possess strategic counseling skills for effective service delivery. Although counseling is mostly considered an essential component during rehabilitation, many SLPs receive no explicit training on the same. The current study aims to explore self-efficacy measures in counseling among Indian students of speech-language pathology.Methods:The Counselor Activity Self-Efficacy Scales (CASES), which is a 6-point Likert rating scale developed by Victorino and Hinkle (2019) was adopted to assess the self-efficacy of 105 student clinicians (undergraduates and graduates) of speech-language pathology. The study comprised of two phases. Phase one included the administration of the CASES questionnaire on the target population, and Phase two included performing frequency-based analysis on Helping Skills (HS), Emotional Support Skills (ESS), and Session Management Skills (SMS) domains.Results:The majority of participants felt somewhat confident over questions in the HS and ESS domain, while a large proportion felt very confident over the questions in the SMS domain. Although the student clinicians felt somewhat confident and very confident in most of the domains, none of the participants were completely confident in any of the domains.Conclusion:Having a counseling self-efficacy tool will help estimate the level of counseling competency one may possess. The results of the study can be used to design effective counseling-based training programs for student clinicians and practicing professionals, to achieve productive therapeutic connections with patients and caregivers.

Published: December 2022

The Telomoyo watershed is included in the category of mountainous areas and tropical plains. In term of fulfilling the need for adequate water infrastructure, good quality rain data is needed. The methods that can be used are stepwise rationalization and evaluation based on WMO guidance. The stepwise method is chosen in order to check the correlation between the rainfall data and debit data based on multi-correlated statistics and the WMO guidance are used to complete the minimum requirement of the number of rainfall stations in a watershed according to geographical aspects. It was found that the Telomoyo watershed has met the minimum WMO standards, namely with 9 rainfall stations, but it is still considered irrational due to the uneven distribution of rainfall station as seen from the range of influence in each rainfall station. Meanwhile, from the stepwise analysis, it is found that the combination of 4 rainfall stations is considered rational and meets WMO standards. However, this study only provides recommendations for the most statistically rational rainfall station combinations. It is also permissible to move or choose another rainfall station that has more strategic locations so that the influence area of the rainfall stations is more evenly distributed.Â DAS Telomoyo memiliki luas sebesar 553,22 km2 dan termasuk dalam kategori daerah pegunungan serta dataran tropis. Dalam pemenuhan akan kebutuhan infrastruktur bangunan air yang memadai, diperlukan data hujan dengan kualitas baik yang salah satu caranya yaitu melihat keterkaitan data hujan yang ada dengan data debit yang didapatkan di lapangan. Metode yang dapat digunakan adalah rasionalisasi metode stepwise dan evaluasi berdasarkan standar WMO. Metode stepwise dipilih untuk mengecek korelasi data hujan dengan data debit berdasarkan statistika multi korelasi dan standar WMO digunakan untuk melengkapi ketentuan minimum dari jumlah pos hujan suatu DAS menurut aspek geografi. Didapatkan bahwa DAS Telomoyo sudah memenuhi standar minimum WMO yaitu dengan 9 stasiun curah hujan serta 2 AWLR, namun hal ini masih dirasa belum rasional karena persebaran pos hujan yang kurang merata yang menurut luas pengaruh area setiap stasiun curah huan. Sedangkan dari analisis stepwise diperoleh bahwa gabungan 4 pos hujan sudah rasional serta memenuhi standar WMO. Namun studi ini hanya memberikan rekomendasi kombinasi pos hujan yang paling rasional secara statistik. Diperbolehkan juga melakukan pemindahan atau pemilihan pos lain yang memiliki lokasi lebih strategis sehingga luas pengaruh pos hujan lebih merata lagi.

Recommendations for the Quality Management of Patient-Generated Health Data in Remote Patient Monitoring: Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Abdolkhani Robab , Gray Kathleen , Borda Ann , DeSouza Ruth 
Published: December 2022

Background
Patient-generated health data (PGHD) collected from innovative wearables are enabling health care to shift to outside clinical settings through remote patient monitoring (RPM) initiatives. However, PGHD are collected continuously under the patient’s responsibility in rapidly changing circumstances during the patient’s daily life. This poses risks to the quality of PGHD and, in turn, reduces their trustworthiness and fitness for use in clinical practice.

Objective
Using a sociotechnical health informatics lens, we developed a data quality management (DQM) guideline for PGHD captured from wearable devices used in RPM with the objective of investigating how DQM principles can be applied to ensure that PGHD can reliably inform clinical decision-making in RPM.

Methods
First, clinicians, health information specialists, and MedTech industry representatives with experience in RPM were interviewed to identify DQM challenges. Second, these stakeholder groups were joined by patient representatives in a workshop to co-design potential solutions to meet the expectations of all the stakeholders. Third, the findings, along with the literature and policy review results, were interpreted to construct a guideline. Finally, we validated the guideline through a Delphi survey of international health informatics and health information management experts.

Results
The guideline constructed in this study comprised 19 recommendations across 7 aspects of DQM. It explicitly addressed the needs of patients and clinicians but implied that there must be collaboration among all stakeholders to meet these needs.

Conclusions
The increasing proliferation of PGHD from wearables in RPM requires a systematic approach to DQM so that these data can be reliably used in clinical care. The developed guideline is an important next step toward safe RPM.
The Dynamics between Intrusiveness of Disruptive Ads, Behavior to Seen Disruptive Ads and Brand Response: A Case Study on a Selected Arabic Youth

Published: December 2022

Through Structural Equation Modelling, the study shed light on the interplay between the intrusiveness of disruptive advertisements, their behavior towards them, and brand preference. The study sought to understand the interrelationships between these three variables instead of limiting the study to using and measuring the level of intrusion and behavior as a precursor to brand preference. In this study, brand preference is measured using four variables i.e., brand recall, message recall, call to action, and brand liking. These variables are adopted from Keller's Brand Equity Model.
The variable intrusiveness was represented by 4 exogenous variables- obtrusiveness, intrusiveness, invasiveness, interference, and distraction [1]. The quasi-experimental research was done involving students in an Arabic university to measure these variables. The experiment was done by showing a video clip to the respondents where a disruptive ad pops up randomly. After watching the video, the respondents were asked to answer a questionnaire developed specifically for this reason.
The researchers subjected the data through exploratory factor analysis and a two-stage confirmatory factor analysis before arriving at a hypothesized model. Interestingly, it was found out that the respondent's attitude towards a disruptive advertisement has a weak association with both their behavior towards them and brand preference. A significant association, however, was seen between behavior and brand preference.
ANÁLISE DE UMA PRÁTICA DOCENTE REFLEXIVA A PARTIR DE UM CENÁRIO DE LÍNGUAS E IDENTIDADES CERCEADAS
Authors: Moreira Pacheco de Souza Janaina 
Published: December 2022

Interessa, neste artigo, apresentar reflexões tecidas durante a escrita da tese de doutorado em Educação, quando optou-se pela abordagem narrativa (auto)biográfica como caminho de investigação da pesquisa sobre agentes de letramento em escolas de fronteira, tendo em vista a racionalidade humana, sensível e compartilhada (BRAGANÇA, 2014) apresentada por essa abordagem teórica-metodológica. As reflexões ancoradas na abordagem apresentaram dimensões experienciais de uma professora alfabetizadora que nos permitiram compreender a formação e o saber fazer docente a partir de práticas linguísticas reflexivas. Além disso, observou-se que a construção do conhecimento está implicada diretamente no envolvimento do sujeito com seu processo biocognitivo, permitindo-lhe integrar à consciência, descobertas, significados e aprendizados que são primordiais numa pesquisa. Fundamentaremos essas reflexões em estudos bibliográficos que conferem às narrativas o potencial formativo do sujeito de uma pesquisa, articulando ação e reflexão através de um movimento subjetivo e autorreflexivo.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Achieving sustainable economic growth is one of the main goals of economic policy in modern countries. As previous research has shown, the development of financial system has a significant influence on economic growth. The importance of the innovative banking sector in developing countries becomes particularly important due to the insufficient evolvent of other parts of the financial system. The subject of this paper is the analysis of the impact of the banking sector of Bosnia and Herzegovina on economic growth in the period from 2000 to 2021. The aim of the study is to quantify this relationship. In this study we apllied ARDL model to determine long-term and short-term relationship between observed variables. The results show that the increase in total loans granted by the banking sector to companies from the non-financial sector has a positive impact on the development of GDP. Namely, a 1% increase in total bank credit to non-financial private sector firms leads to an increase in GDP of about 0.08% in long run and about 0.20% in short run.
Does Interest Rate Really Stimulate Savings in Nigeria?
Authors: Babalola Abdurrauf , Abdul Abiodun Ibrahim 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Research background: Interest rate as a stimulus to savings has been discussed by many scholars while ancient scholars kicked against the collection of usury (interest). Developing countries like Nigeria may not be stimulated with the rate of interest because of its insignificant level, which is presently causing financial exclusion against the opponents of interest.

Purpose: This study examines whether interest rate really stimulates savings in Nigeria.

Research methodology: The study covers the post-liberalization period between 1987 and 2021. The research employs the Vector Autoregressive/Error Correction techniques to analyze the data and make statistical inferences.

Results: The results of the show that interest rate (deposit rate) has a positively non-significant effect on savings in Nigeria. On the contrary, the Treasury bill rate, Insecurity and Inflation rate have a significant impact on savings in Nigeria.

Novelty: No existing study has been made to investigate if the interest rate (deposit rate) has the ability to stimulate domestic savings in the Nigerian economy. None has included the Insecurity index and none has used the vector autoregressive error correction tools to analyze this inquiry so “Does Interest Rate Really Stimulate Savings in Nigeria?
Allowance for Self-Employed Gainful Activity in Slovakia: A Closer look into the Factors Involved
Authors: Gabrikova Barbora , Svabova Lucia 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Research background: Active labour market policy measures serve to improve the situation with unemployment and the placeability of jobseekers in the labour market. An important tool for the functioning of these interventions is their continuous monitoring and evaluation.

Purpose: In this paper, we focus on the Allowance for self-employment gainful activity aimed at providing the financial contribution to start a business. The paper aims to find out those jobseekers’ characteristics that mostly increase the probability of participation in this intervention.

Research methodology: We use data from the database of jobseekers of the Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family in Slovakia, the probability model is constructed by a logistic regression.

Results: We found several characteristics that significantly impact the decision to participate in the measure. Jobseekers with previous employment in service activities (NACE S), married, long-term unemployed and with a 2nd university degree have a higher chance of participating in this program of the labour market. On the contrary, high age, low education or permanent residence in the Bratislava region decreases the chance for participation in this intervention.

Novelty: Knowing the individuals’ characteristics that significantly contribute to the interest in participating in this program can help policymakers set the instrument’s eligibility conditions and allocate funds to increase interest in using this treatment where necessary.
