For Spatial Planning and Land Consolidation Issue

Planning the rational use of land's potential capabilities is one of the most important functions in Georgia. When developing the state policy in this area, it is essential to take into account that the implemented policy directly affects the country's socio-economic development. The given article states that determining the land status is part of the country's territory planning and development plan, moreover, changing the status of the land is almost impossible without making changes to the spatial planning of the territory. The article states that in most European countries, changing the designation of land is within the competence of the government and describes the needs to be addressed by various European countries (permit of the relevant state institution, compliance with the spatial development plan, imposition of a tax on the change of category, with certain exceptions, a general ban on changing the category of land, etc.). It also discusses examples of various mechanisms for land consolidation in Eastern and Central European countries. At the end of the article, the conclusion is made that under the conditions of Georgia, the state should develop a plan for the privatization of the remaining agricultural land in its possession, the primary goal of which should not be the increase of budget revenues, but rather ensuring the effective use of land resources. This process should consider: registering the landownership for the actual owner, registering land ownership for municipalities, and the alienation of land remaining in state ownership, which should ultimately contribute to the consolidation of small farms. Keywords: land, land categories, land disposal, agricultural policy, spatial planning, land consolidation, land management, agrarian territories.

ChatGPT Exhibits Bias Toward Developed Countries Over Developing Ones, as Indicated by a Sentiment Analysis Approach

This study analyzes how ChatGPT characterizes developed and developing countries using a sentiment analysis framework. We selected 10 countries with the highest Human Development Index (HDI) and 10 countries with the lowest. The sentiment analysis provided scores indicating the degree of positivity in the descriptions of these countries provided by ChatGPT. The results revealed that ChatGPT generally expressed positive sentiments about all countries. However, strong evidence emerged showing that countries with high HDI received more positive sentiments compared to those with low HDI. These findings highlight the bias of the model in describing developed versus developing countries. Ultimately, the study highlights the importance of adjusting large language models to ensure fairer representations of countries.

Evaluation of the osteoarthritis disease burden in China from 1990 to 2021: based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021

ObjectiveThis study aims to understand the current status and trend of the disease burden of osteoarthritis (OA) in people over 30 years old in China from 1990 to 2021 and identify the priority population groups, to provide reference data for the prevention and treatment of OA in China.MethodsThe Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 was used to describe the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of OA in adult aged 30 years or older in China by sex and age groups, which was used to analyze the disease burden of OA from 1990 to 2021. The joinpoint regression model and age-period-cohort model were used to characterize the temporal trend.ResultsIn 2021, the number of OA prevalence in China was about 152.85 million, and the number of incidences was about 11.65 million. The age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR), age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized DALYs rate (ASDR) of OA in China are lower than those in developed countries such as Korea, the United States of America and Japan, but higher than those in India. Knee osteoarthritis had the highest ASPR and ASDR. The highest incidence rate was 50–54 years, and the highest prevalence and DALYs rate were in the age group of patients over 95 years old. The incidence rate of women in all age groups is higher than that of men. From 1990 to 2021, the ASIR, ASPR and ASDR of OA in China roughly showed an increasing trend year by year. The age-period-cohort analysis showed that the peak age groups for longitudinal age incidence of OA in China from 1992 to 2021 were 50–54 years and 80–84 years. We found that the OA incidence was highest in the period 2017–2021.ConclusionThe disease burden of OA in those over 30 years old in China from 1990 to 2021 will become more and more serious, and the target population for primary prevention is the female population under 50 years old. The development of a scientific and effective comprehensive prevention and treatment program for OA is imminent.

Role of metabolic syndrome and lifestyle factors in endometrial cancer risk and prevention

Introduction: The incidence of endometrial cancer, the sixth most common cancer among women, has been rising, especially in developed countries, possibly due to the obesity and diabetes pandemic. The aim of this review is to investigate the connection between metabolic syndrome, its individual components and endometrial cancer risk and to explore the role of lifestyle factors in endometrial cancer prevention. Materials and methods: For this review, we included studies regarding endometrial cancer and metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes and hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia and several lifestyle factors, from 1994 to 2024. State of knowledge: This paper reviews existing literature on the relationship between metabolic syndrome and endometrial cancer, highlighting the significant role of central obesity, hyperglycemia and diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension as risk factors. Evidence consistently demonstrates that individuals with metabolic syndrome, and its components individually, are at a heightened risk of developing endometrial cancer compared to those without metabolic abnormalities. Biological mechanisms linking metabolic syndrome’s components to endometrial cancer involve complex interplays between metabolic, hormonal or inflammatory factors and signalling pathways. Lifestyle interventions focusing on weight management, physical activity, and eating habits play an important role in reducing endometrial cancer risk and improving overall health outcomes. Conclusion: An understanding of the relationship between metabolic syndrome and endometrial cancer is crucial for improving risk stratification, early detection, and prevention strategies. Addressing metabolic abnormalities and promoting healthy lifestyle behaviours are essential actions against the rising incidence and burden of endometrial cancer.

Analysis of the Conceptualization of Quality in Spanish Educational Legislation

<p style="text-align:justify">Since the 1990s, there has been a global trend in the search for quality in school systems that have materialized in the educational policies of the most developed countries. This article analyzes the treatment given to the concept of quality in the educational reforms approved in the last fifty years in Spain. The objectives of this study were: (a) to analyze the presence and recurrence of the term ‘quality’ in each of the laws and (b) to identify the factors associated with quality in these laws. To respond to these objectives, a bibliographic study was carried out using a content analysis approach to the texts of the different laws, as well as a review of the existing literature on the subject in question. It was, therefore, an eminently qualitative research approach. Among the findings found, it is worth highlighting the high presence of the term ‘quality’ in the legislative texts analyzed since the beginning of the new millennium, as well as a continuity in the educational reforms of evaluation policies of the educational system in coherence with the demands produced by supranational organizations at a global level.</p>

An Analysis of the IMF’s International Carbon Price Floor

Abstract The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has proposed an International Carbon Price Floor (ICPF) arrangement among six major emitting economies (the US, EU, UK, Canada, China, and India) to scale up global climate mitigation action. Our quantitative analysis of the IMF’s ICPFs indicates that, compared to the committed policies of National Determined Contributions (NDCs), differentiated price floors are non-binding for developed countries – and therefore have a limited impact on their climate actions. However, for developing countries (e.g. China and India), the ICPFs effectively translate into substantial increases in carbon prices. Essentially, the ICPFs place additional responsibilities of emission reductions and economic costs fully on China and India. Given this gap between the participation incentives of developed and developing economies, we believe that the ICPF arrangement, in its current form, is unlikely to be adopted by major economies. To address this, we recommend that the IMF devote efforts to: (1) estimating the price equivalents of non-price policy instruments, as well as re-calibrating the desirable floors for broadly defined carbon prices; and (2) considering options to redistribute the economic benefits between developed and developing countries by increasing the availability of climate mitigation funds and low-carbon technologies to developing countries.

Is the decline of war a delusion? The long peace phenomenon and the modernization peace – the explanation that refutes or subsumes all others

ABSTRACT The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the China challenge, revive the question of whether the world is becoming more peaceful. Realists’ claim that we told you so compares oranges with cabbage. Today’s world is divided into a “zone of peace”, encompassing all the developed countries, and a “zone of war”, comprising less developed countries. Within the former, interstate wars, civil wars, and the “security dilemma” itself have all disappeared. The Long Peace since 1945 is widely attributed to nuclear deterrence. However, the sharp decrease in war had begun during the 19th century. The effect of industrialization is the greatest lacuna in IR theory. The Malthusian Trap that plagued premodern societies has been broken. Wealth is no longer finite and a zero-sum game. This transformation has made democracies as well as nondemocracies fight much less, and has sharply increased international trade. It underlies both the democratic/liberal and capitalist/trade interdependence peace.

A Comparative Performance Analysis of Türkiye's Health System within OECD Countries

A country's health system stands as one of its most critical infrastructures, significantly influencing the well-being of its citizens. In line with the World Health Organization's (WHO) widely accepted definition, a country's health system involves all organizations, people, and actions whose primary purpose is to promote, restore, or maintain health (World Health Organization., 2007). As indicated in this definition, a health system carries characteristics of complex systems posing significant challenges in its management and maintenance. The complex nature of the health system also challenges the country's policymakers to improve the outcomes of the health system. Examining specific key performance indicators of the health system can assist policymakers in gaining deeper insights into its internal capacities and identifying areas for improvement. This paper provides a comparative performance analysis of Türkiye’s health system compared to other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries using selected key performance indicators of the health system's capacity and resources. The methodology involves a comprehensive review of existing literature, data collection and analysis, and performance evaluation using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique. In this performance analysis, health systems capacity-related indicators, such as health expenditure, number of doctors, number of nurses, and number of hospital beds, are used as input variables, and life expectancy at birth and citizens’ satisfaction with the healthcare system are output variables. The analysis intends to identify best practices and potential areas for improvement within Türkiye’s health system by benchmarking insights from other OECD countries.

Genomic epidemiology of early SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics in Bangladesh.

Genomic epidemiology has helped reconstruct the global and regional movement of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, there is still a lack of understanding of SARS-CoV-2 spread in some of the world's least developed countries (LDCs). To begin to address this disparity, we studied the transmission dynamics of the virus in Bangladesh during the country's first COVID-19 wave by analysing case reports and whole-genome sequences from all eight divisions of the country. We detected > 50 virus introductions to the country during the period, including during a period of national lockdown. Additionally, through discrete phylogeographic analyses, we identified that geographical distance and population -density and/or -size influenced virus spatial dispersal in Bangladesh. Overall, this study expands our knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 genomic epidemiology in Bangladesh, shedding light on crucial transmission characteristics within the country, while also acknowledging resemblances and differences to patterns observed in other nations.

A01 - AHP An Examination of the Opinions of NHS Stakeholders on the Current and Future Role of Physician Associates

Abstract Background Globally, healthcare systems are experiencing problems recruiting and retaining healthcare workers. Like many developed countries, in the UK, shortages are exacerbated by rising healthcare costs and models have had to be developed utilising shorter training periods and a generalized skillset. One of the consequences is the development of intermediate-level practitioners including Physician Associates (PAs). By 2024 over 4,000 PAs were working in the NHS, but their myriad roles has meant that integration has been challenging. This study examines the opinions of NHS stakeholders on the current and future roles of PAs and explores approaches to improve their integration. Method This cross-sectional study at a single NHS Trust gathered views and experiences regarding PAs through a survey of consultant and junior medical staff (JDs), PAs, and patients. Patients who interacted with a PA within four weeks prior to the period of the survey were randomly selected to avoid recall bias. Surveys, initially generated by doctors and a PA, were tailored, validated by experts, and pilot-tested. Distribution was via Microsoft Forms® and ACCURX® and responses were collected electronically with weekly reminders. Data were analysed using Microsoft Excel® and SPSS®, with qualitative analysis used to identify recurring themes. Results Consultants more frequently recognised positive contributions of PAs (p=0.012) although 68.6% noted PA roles were unclear. The PA role had only been explained to 11% of JDs, just 14% fully understood their role and 75% felt PAs might negatively affect their training. Conversely most PAs felt consultants (87.5%) and JDs (81.3%) were aware of their responsibilities. While 62.5% of PAs anticipated career progression, 87.5% were satisfied with training, 56.3% were considering a career change and 75% felt the healthcare climate adversely affected their work. Only 14% of patients fully understood the PA role, but 86% comfortable being seen by them. Conclusion This study highlights the positive contributions of PAs and recognition by stakeholders. Integration however remains challenging with concerns regarding JD training, PA career progression, and job satisfaction. The main hurdles remain unclear compounded by myriad PA roles and surveys reveal significant gaps in understanding among JDs and patients. PAs overestimate understanding of their role and education of stakeholders regarding their PA roles is crucial and must involve PAs, managers, consultants, GMC, and Royal Colleges. Local trusts and consultants must define PA roles, ensure career progression, and support JD training to enhance interprofessional relationships, trust, and the quality of patient care.

Does the service trade network impact on technological complexity of exports?——New perspective based on social network approach

ABSTRACT In the context of the digital economy, digital service trade has gradually become a new driving force for the high-quality development of foreign trade in various countries. Based on the bilateral data of digital service trade between 56 countries from 2005 to 2021, this paper constructs the global digital service trade network through social network analysis method. Also, this study examines the impact of the network characteristics on its export technology complexity. According to our research findings, first, in terms of the overall characteristics, the number of participating countries in digital service trade is increasing, and the density is overall low but showing an upward trend. Second, in terms of individual characteristics, the ranking is relatively stable, developed countries such as Europe and the United States with higher centrality, connectedness and heterogeneity are the dominant players in the digital service trade. But the indicators of each characteristic are decreasing over time, verifying the fact that the global digital service trade has become more open and inclusive. Third, we examined that centrality, connectedness, and heterogeneity all contribute significantly to export technological complexity. Technological innovation is the main path of action. The results still hold after performing a series of robustness tests.

Academic research contributions from Ibero-American countries to general knowledge, engineering, and computer science up to 2023 and COVID impact

Although commonly, competitive intelligence analysis is applied to companies, where new investments and operation expenditures are considered along with changes in the market, competitive intelligence can be applied to different countries' academic research production, which impacts science, technology and innovation making a difference in their competitiveness. This work shows the academic research production for all areas of knowledge, and also specifically for engineering and computer science, from all the Ibero-American countries, based on the SCOPUS database from 2001 to 2023. The results show that based on the volume of their academic production, for an affordable analysis, the Ibero-American countries can be classified into three groups, considering an order of magnitude difference for each group. The leading group is composed of countries producing between 200,000 and about 2 million documents, the second group of countries producing between 20,000 and 200,000 documents, and the third group of countries producing between 2,000 and 20,000 documents. The COVID pandemic impacted all the countries which showed a decrease in annual production over the last two years. The results also show the priority areas of knowledge that these countries invest in and the main countries that they collaborate with. The behavior of production for engineering and computer science is like that of general production, but there are some specific internal factors for specific countries such as in the case of Brazil, the country in which production fell most dramatically, followed by Spain and Colombia. On the other hand, Peru and Ecuador show a high interest in engineering and computer science. This work offers a high value decision-making tool to leaders in academic research, the principals of research driven institutions and investors from industry in Ibero-America. The academic production is related to the size of the GDP and the percentage of the GDP invested by a country in research development and innovation.

Reforming Ethiopian Bilateral Investment Treaties in Line with Domestic Development Policies: Challenges, Prospects and Simplified Reform Options

Abstract This article examines the alignment of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) with domestic development policies. The analysis reveals the presence of considerable disparity between Ethiopian BITs and the country's domestic development policies and the importance of ensuring consistency between the two. The potential options to resolve this disparity can be combined on a case-by-case basis, depending on different challenges, such as bargaining power, political commitment, procedural requirements and resistance from other treaty partners. The changing dynamics of global politics and the growing backlash against BITs have created a conducive environment for such reform.

Evaluating Enteric Fermentation-Driven Environmental Kuznets Curve Dynamics: A Bayesian Vector Autoregression Comparative Study of the EU and Least Developed Countries

Global warming and climate change, primarily driven by human activities, with agriculture playing a significant role, have become central topics of scientific research. Livestock production, especially enteric fermentation, is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, making it a focal point for both climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. Both the European Union (EU) and Least Developed Countries (LDCs) are highly dependent on agriculture, particularly livestock, which plays a key role in their economic growth. In developing countries, livestock systems are evolving rapidly due to various factors, while in the EU, the livestock sector remains economically and socially significant, representing 36% of total agricultural activity. This study explores the environmental impact of enteric fermentation in livestock production, alongside the economic value it generates in both the EU and LDCs. The analysis utilizes a Bayesian Vector Autoregression (BVAR) methodology, which provides a more robust performance compared to traditional models like Vector Autoregression (VAR) and the Vector-error Correction Model (VECM). This research identifies significant relationships between the variables studied, with structural breaks quantified to reflect the impact of initiatives undertaken in both regions. Interestingly, the results challenge the environmental Kuznets curve, which hypothesizes an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation, as proposed by Stern. This suggests that stronger economic incentives may be necessary to enhance policy effectiveness and promote eco-efficiency. The distinctive characteristics of livestock production in the EU and LDCs should be carefully considered when shaping agricultural policies, with a strong emphasis on farmer education as a critical factor for success. Additionally, corporate management practices must be tailored to address the unique needs, strengths, and challenges of livestock businesses in these two diverse regions.

Selection of Biomedical Equipment for public hospitals in Sri Lanka: A stakeholder perspective

Background: Health technology is an important component in delivering healthcare services. Healthcare technology can be expensive and often does not align with the unique needs of under-resourced areas. Out of the variety of health technologies, biomedical equipment is one of the major assets for any healthcare institution, and it plays an important role in healthcare delivery.Unlike developed countries, Sri Lanka lacks a system for choosing effective biomedical equipment for hospitals. This study explored current practices to improve the biomedical equipment selection process.Purpose: The study aims to assess stakeholders’ perceptions of the decision-making process for selecting biomedical equipment in selected line ministry hospitals in the Western Province of Sri Lanka.Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in four (4) line ministry hospitals, with each facility representing a specific level identified within the line ministry. A survey using a self-administered Questionnaire (SAQ) and a desk review using a checklist were conducted to assess the stakeholders' perceptions of the decision-making process in selecting biomedical equipment.Results: The stakeholders' survey revealed low awareness of the unavailability of an HTA policy, institutional guidelines, and essential biomedical equipment list. Equipment requests were mainly paper-based, finalized by a committee, and took over two days to process. Respondents found the decision-making process inconvenient and dissatisfying.The finalized requests assessed through the checklist revealed that they were incomplete, lacking crucial information, such as the Requesting Officer and infrastructure details, and not accounting for financial, environmental, and equipment demand factors.Conclusions: The decision-making system practiced was revealed to be inefficient, inconsistent, and noncomprehensive. It was also found to be made without due consideration of factors related to equipment, finance, infrastructure, human resources, and services. Therefore, establishing a proper need assessment and prioritization method with criteria is recommended.

Abstract 4138813: The Use of Direct Oral Anticoagulants for Valvular Atrial Fibrillation in Central Australia

Background: In developed countries, valvular atrial fibrillation (vAF) in the setting of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) disproportionately impacts minority groups. In Australia, Indigenous Australians account for 92% of cases despite only representing 3.8% of the population. Studies to date, such as the INVICTUS trial, support the use of Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) over direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in vAF. However, this assumes consistent adherence and regular clinic follow up. Reduced access to monitoring and dispensing clinics in Central Australia remains a challenge in the provision of VKAs and the use of DOACs may address this. Hypothesis: DOACs may be comparably effective with VKAs in preventing major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in a real-world vAF population. Aim: To conduct a real-world retrospective observational study examining rates of MACCE for patients on VKAs or DOACs for vAF in Central Australia over a five-year period. Methods: The Northern Territory RHD Register was accessed to identify patients with RHD and vAF in January 2019. Demographic and five-year outcome data (until January 2024) were collected. The primary outcome was MACCE, a composite of ischaemic stroke, systemic embolism, non-fatal myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality. The primary safety endpoint was major bleeding. Statistical analyses were conducted as both intention-to-treat (ITT) based on initial anticoagulation and as-treated (AT) based on anticoagulation prior to MACCE or trial endpoint, each excluding patients without anticoagulation. Results: 61 patients were included. The mean age was 61.9 ± 13.9 years and 68.9% were female. At baseline, 65.6% received VKA, 14.8% DOAC and 19.7% were not anticoagulated. 30.6% of patients crossed over from the ITT analysis, with a non-significant trend favouring switch to DOAC (11 vs 0, p=0.09). In the ITT analysis (n=49), there was no significant difference in MACCE (25.0% vs 22.2%, p=0.86) or major bleeding (20.0% vs 11.1%, p=0.53) between VKA and DOAC groups. In the AT analysis (n=51), there was no significant difference in MACCE (27.3% vs 16.7%, p=0.39) or major bleeding (18.2% vs 22.2%, p=0.73) between VKA and DOAC groups. Conclusion: Over a five-year period, there was a trend towards use of DOACs over VKAs in vAF. This study demonstrates that DOACs may be as effective as VKAs for reducing MACCE in a real-world vAF population however further investigation is required.

Does women's political participation promote green innovation? Global evidence

AbstractA long‐standing theory is that men value technology, while women focus more on human welfare and living conditions. Using data from 101 countries between 1996 and 2019, this study examines the impact of women's political participation on green innovation. Our results show that a one‐unit increase in women's political participation is positively associated with a 0.081 unit increase in the standard deviation of green innovation. This effect is particularly significant in developed countries where women's political participation is above the global average. Analysis using the method of moments quantile regression (MMQR) shows a more pronounced effect at lower quantiles of green innovation in high‐carbon countries, due to women's heightened environmental sensitivity. Furthermore, implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, bureaucratic quality, and law and order strengthen this relationship. Accordingly, we identify countries that should prioritize improving women's political status, especially in patriarchal and Muslim societies.

Common open source WebGIS platform for spatial and non-spatial data to enhance health services in Sri Lanka

This study explores the transformative potential and current limitations of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the context of Sri Lanka's health sector and broader development initiatives. Despite the global GIS market's expected growth to billions by 2025, driven by its adoption in infrastructure, urban planning, and the integration with emerging technologies, its application in critical areas such as public health, disaster management, and citizen services remains underutilized. This underutilization stems from a lack of ground-level information, limited knowledge of GIS capabilities, restricted access to essential geospatial data, and the high cost of GIS software. This paper discusses the significant hurdles in obtaining updated and comprehensive citizen, household, and health-related information, which impedes effective planning and decision-making within the health sector of Sri Lanka. It further examines the initiatives by the Ministry of Health, supported by the Asian Development Bank, to implement a GIS-based Health Mapping System focused on infrastructure and inventory management of health facilities, yet lacking in integrating critical citizen data for demand analysis of health services. The study underscores the necessity for a comprehensive "Geographical Citizen Information System for the Health Sector in Sri Lanka" akin to those in developed countries, to host, process, and analyze spatial and non-spatial information for enhanced policymaking and development planning. Through an analysis of current challenges and the exploration of potential solutions, this paper advocates for an integrated approach to harness the full capabilities of GIS technologies, thereby enabling more informed and effective governance in Sri Lanka’s Health sector.

Circular economy in developing countries for sustainable development: A review

A significant percentage of any nation’s economy comes from the building industry, and its performance can impact overall economic growth and development. This paper aims to identify the similarities and differences between the construction sector (CS) of developed and developing economies in terms of size, growth, and contribution to the Gross domestic product (GDP) to understand the similarities and variances in the CS dynamics, trends, and challenges, and to inform policy decisions and investments through the literature review. The study also explores the factors that affect the CS’s performance in both types of economies, such as government policies, market conditions, and technological advancements. This paper concludes that the CS in developed economies is more established and technologically advanced, but there is still significant room for growth in developing economies. Moreover, a framework is proposed that could assist developing nations in opting for the construction economy. Further, the review emphasizes the significance of government policies and investments in infrastructure development to stimulate the CS’s growth and support overall economic development. The results of the study will assist in enhancing understanding of the CS’s potential in both developed and developing economies and support decision-making for policymakers, industry practitioners, and academicians.

IMPACT OF E-COMMERCE AND INTERNET USERS ON INDONESIA'S ECONOMIC GROWTH

Economic growth refers to the expansion of economic activities that enhance the production of goods and services, ultimately improving societal welfare. It serves as a crucial indicator for analyzing a country's economic development, typically measured by the change in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) between consecutive years. Various indicators can assess Indonesia's economic condition, with national income being a significant metric supported by accurate GDP data, categorized into current and constant prices. Over time, developments have transformed the Indonesian economy, with electronic media becoming increasingly prevalent. The rise of electronic media has facilitated broader and more effective transactions through e-commerce. Identifying the impact of these transactions is essential to understand their relationship with economic growth, which is vital for enhancing the welfare of Indonesia's population. Additionally, the growth of internet users significantly influences the economy. As internet user numbers rise annually amid digitalization, the government is expected to promote wider internet access across the nation. The internet allows individuals to access vital information for business, education, and recreation, contributing to economic growth. Thus, this research analyzes the impact of e-commerce transaction value and internet users on Indonesia's economic growth from 2013 to 2023, using quantitative secondary data and multiple regression analysis.
