Women of Bihari Society in Electoral Politics
Authors: Verma Mukul Bihari , Kumar Sandeep 
Published: July 2023

The presented article deeply explores the question of representation of women in the electoral politics of Bihar. Bihar became the first state to give fifty percent reservation to women in panchayats, but the irony is that even today the condition of women remains pathetic. Apart from political representation, women started fighting for their basic questions from the eighties. Revolting against feudal oppression, demanding an increase in wages for working in the fields, this movement is today demanding equality with men in every field. It is true that getting 50 percent reservation in Panchayats is limited, but the feeling of public participation has strengthened among women. This article evaluates the question of women's claim in the politics of Bihar around all these issues.

Abstract in Hindi Language
प्रस्तुत आलेख बिहार की चुनावी राजनीति में महिलाओं के प्रतिनिधित्व के सवाल की गहन पड़ताल करता है. पंचायतों में महिलाओं को पचास प्रतिशत आरक्षण देने में बिहार पहला राज्य बना लेकिन विडम्बना यह है की आज भी महिलाओं की दशा दयनीय ही बनी हुई है. राजनीतिक प्रतिनिधित्व से इतर महिलाओं ने अपने बुनियादी सवालों के लिए लड़ाई की शुरुआत अस्सी के दशक से करना शुरू कर दिया थी| सामंती उत्पीडन के खिलाफ विद्रोह, खेतों में काम करने के लिए मजदूरी बढाने की मांग से होता हुआ यह आन्दोलन आज हर क्षेत्र में पुरुषों से बराबरी की मांग कर रहा है. यह सही है कि पंचायतों में पचास फीसदी आरक्षण मिलने से सीमित ही सही लेकिन महिलाओं के भीतर जन भागीदारी की भावना प्रबल हुई है. इन्ही सब मुद्दों के इर्दगिर्द यह आलेख महिलाओं की बिहार की राजनीति में दावेदारी के सवाल का मूल्यांकन करता है|

Nouvelle politique forestière vaudoise en matière d’accueil, de loisirs et de bien-être en forêt
Authors: Kazemi Yves , Guinnard Laurianne Jeanneret 
Published: July 2023

Résumé
Comme partout en Suisse, les forêts du canton de Vaud représentent un espace naturel de loisirs particulièrement apprécié de la population. La nouvelle Politique forestière vaudoise 2040 (DGE-Forêt 2022) soutient un développement qualitatif et mesuré des activités de sports et loisirs en forêt qui garantit le «bien vivre ensemble» des usagers ainsi que la préservation du milieu naturel et de la multifonctionnalité forestière. L’élaboration d’une stratégie cantonale sur l’accueil du public en forêt permettra d’orienter le développement régional et local des activités de sports et loisirs en forêt. Elle souhaite, à ce titre, soutenir les propriétaires forestiers dans la prise en charge des coûts et investissements liés à l’accueil du public en forêt. La mise en œuvre de ces stratégies nécessite la mise en place d’un monitoring stratégique des loisirs en forêt. Elle repose aussi sur le renforcement des compétences et ressources des agents de terrain. La promotion du «vivre ensemble en forêt» et du «respect du milieu naturel» dans la pratique des activités de loisirs en forêt nécessitera aussi des actions de communication ciblées et pérennes. Finalement, il est important de relever que la gestion de l’accueil en forêt commence en dehors de la forêt. La gestion durable de l’accueil en forêt nécessite une étroite coordination avec les planifications urbaines, infrastructurelles ou touristiques. Parallèlement, renforcer la présence des arbres – forestiers ou non – dans l’espace bâti constitue une réponse appropriée aux défis écologiques et sociaux posés par le développement des villes. La création d’un réseau cohérent et continu d’espaces naturels de loisirs reliant les centres urbains aux massifs forestiers périurbains contribuent aussi à améliorer la qualité et la gestion de l’accueil en forêt.

This confirms that the certification activity succeeded in increasing the participants' knowledge. Second, the hypothesis which states the level of knowledge of the certification training participants is empirically proven to be accepted, positive, and significant with the t-test.
Effects of CO2, Renewables and Fuel Prices on the Economic Growth in New Zealand
Authors: Duppati Geeta , Tiwari Aviral , Matlani Neha 
Published: July 2023

This study investigates the impact of green policy initiatives on economic growth in the form of reduction in CO2 emissions, fossil fuel consumption, and an increase in renewable energy in New Zealand for the period 1980-2019. Our study addresses two questions: First, whether New Zealand managed to achieve economic growth while simultaneously decreasing emissions and increasing renewables? and second, whether the New Zealand GDP per capita is sensitive to the changes in fuel prices at the international level. Our study provides empirical insights on green policy initiatives, which will help refine early mitigation actions and support a transparent public debate about longer-term desirable and feasible mitigation pathways. We use a range of time series estimation techniques after the pre-diagnostic’s tests. The Johansen Cointegration test confirm long-term cointegration in the series. Our results from VECM suggests that the New Zealand economic growth and CO2 emissions are sensitive to the changes in the renewables, fossil fuels, brent and Australian coal prices in the long run. While our results from the error correction term indicate that renewables have the flexibility and potential to correct the short-run inconsistencies in economic growth at a significant speed and ensures equilibrium in the long run. But the brent and the Australian coal are likely to cause discrepancies in the short term and after which the error corrections in the long-term equilibrium are unlikely to happen.
We also undertake impulse response function for forecasting the effects of economic growth, CO2 emissions, renewables, fossil fuels, brent and Australian coal on one another. Our results of economic growth on CO2 emissions, show differential short and long-run effects. In comparison, a negative CO2 emissions shock lasts for a brief period and triggers a very marginal short-term positive effect on economic growth and indicates that worsening or improving CO2 emissions will play an essential role in determining the level of economic growth in New Zealand. Therefore, it is crucial to execute policies that ensure a negative shock in CO2 emissions with long-term consequences on the economic growth with reduced emissions. Our study provides essential insights into the effectiveness of green initiatives on the economic growth of New Zealand.
Correlation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions with Economic Growth in the European Union (2010-2019)
Authors: Laszlo Torok 
Published: July 2023

A prominent research area in energy economics is the study of the correlation between economic growth and CO2 emissions. Using the combined application of correlation calculation and cluster analysis based on empirical data, the study typifies and arranges the EU member states into homogeneous groups based on the pattern of the two variables moving together based on data from the period 2010-2019. This methodology allows a test of the "decoupling" theory that can be used to describe the interaction between environmental pressures and economic development. The results can be used to infer the status of clustered Member States in the decoupling process. The results are ambivalent across member countries. For several EU Member States, different degrees of decoupling can be observed, i.e. GDP growth has been accompanied by a reduction of the ecological footprint in those countries. However, there are also member countries where the decoupling did not work, because the reduction of CO2 emissions was accompanied by a decrease in GDP.
A Panel Analysis of Crude Oil Exports and Poverty Reduction in African Oil Producing Countries: Implication for the Sustainable Development Goal One

The objective of this research is to determine the impact of oil exports on poverty reduction in African oil exporting countries. The study spanned over 30 years, from 1991 to 2020, and relied on secondary data extracted from ten (10) highest oil-producing countries in Africa. The human development index (HDI) was used as a proxy for poverty reduction. The Panel ARDL technique was used to analyse the data. According to the findings of this study, the oil exports using revenues from oil exportation and total annual barrels of oil produced had a beneficial impact on human capital development and thus reduced poverty in the selected African oil-exporting countries. The impact of total revenue from oil exports, on the other hand, was statistically insignificant, although the impact of total annual barrels of oil produced was not. As a result of these findings, the study finds that in the long run, oil revenues had a positive impact on poverty reduction in oil-exporting African countries, although not to a significant extent. This implies that the study does not provide empirical evidence to support the existence of resource curse hypothesis. In view of the above findings, this study recommends that the policymakers in African oil exporting countries should utilize the proceeds from the oil exports for the human development oriented programmes that have trickle down effects on poverty reduction in these countries.
A retrospective study on epidemiological and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in Baluchistan (Pakistan) and its future perspectives
Authors: Sabir Sadia , Sabir Nazish , Mushtaq Ayesha , Gul Merman , Khan Muhammad Jawad 
Published: July 2023

Background: The rise of a viral respiratory sickness was recognized in China and later known as COVID-19. The current study reports the epidemiological and clinical attributes of COVID-19 in Baluchistan.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological parameters and route of transmission of COVID-19 positivity that will help the health department develop future strategies to handle deadly pandemics.
Methodology: This study was performed by gathering information from patients with their socioeconomics, epidemiological status, history of comorbidity, and clinical signs of the disease. The data was collected from the COVID-19 dashboard. A correlation test was applied to evaluate the connection between clinical pathological parameters.
Results: A sum of 3999 clinical records was analyzed. Total 70.8% of patients were positive, and 29.2% were negative. The most affected group was aged 22-42, however, disease severity increased with age. Most positive patients had a high fever, severe cough, sore throat, body ache, shortness of breath and comorbidity on clinical pathological grounds. The earliest reported cases of the infection were connected to travelers returning to Pakistan from Iran. The spread among men was higher as compared to women.
Conclusion: This report will display a linkage between the studies of disease transmission and clinical features which thus can be helpful to forestall the local transmission of similar infections in future. The epidemiological literature on this topic from Baluchistan is scarce.
Russia’s WTO membership: Assessing the impact on foreign trade
Authors: Kalinin A. M. 
Published: July 2023

The paper assesses some of the consequences of Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). Whereas much discussion about its costs and benefits happened during the WTO negotiations and in the first years after the accession, there was little said on the real consequences afterwards. The aim of the research is to assess the degree of fulfillment of the accession expectations after a decade. The research method is the analysis of panel data on the world trade for 2000-2019 (an econometric model based on the gravity model of foreign trade). It has been established that the WTO accession ultimately benefited for Russian foreign trade. However, this effect has been offset by increased political tensions since 2014. The objections to the WTO also turned out to be predominantly justified. The most positive economic consequences of the WTO exist for exporters of low value added goods. The criticism of the WTO participation by machine builders is understandable: although they are among the beneficiaries, the effects on exports and imports are comparable.
Man in a changing world: How to coordinate individual plans?
Authors: Shastitko A. E. , Fedorov S. I. 
Published: July 2023

In 2022 political issues made significant adjustments to individual economic plans of hundreds of millions of people around the world. Against this background, the idea of industrial regulation is gaining popularity again as a means to overcome the shocks that have arisen. However, how effective is such a mechanism for coordinating efforts to adapt to changes? In our article, we propose to look at the problem through the analysis of two models of man: the entrepreneur in Austrian economics and the limited rational person in the transaction costs economics. Based on the results of the analysis we reconstruct the process of adapting the market (or industry) to the shock using a formalized model of the game theory. The model allows us to demonstrate two key informational problems of adaptation to changes: individuals’ limited rationality and their heterogeneity in terms of “entrepreneurial alertness”. For industrial policy, this means the expediency of comparing the regulatory intervention’s benefits and costs during the shock period, taking into account the entrepreneurs’ advantage over the regulator in the collection and use of dispersed knowledge.
