CORRELATION AND REGRESSION ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL MARKETS

The study of consequential relations between economic globalization and the number of subsidiaries of leading TNCs revealed that their development largely depends on the country's involvement in the globalized space. Correlation analysis confirmed the existence of a relationship between TNCs and GDP, which is the main macroeconomic indicator that reflects the participation of countries in export-import operations. Analysis by industry confirmed that economic globalization contributes to the growth of TNCs through increased GDP, regardless of the type of goods and services. On the contrary, TNCs can also have a positive impact on GDP, supporting the scale of economic globalization. Regression analysis and construction of regression models revealed the specifics of the impact of economic globalization on the development of TNCs in countries with different socio-economic conditions. This specificity consists in differences in the influence of one set of factors on the number of foreign branches of TNCs in countries with different levels of development. This confirms the controversy of the phenomenon of economic globalization and indicates that the growth of TNCs is possible only in countries with high indicators of economic globalization. The development of countries is asymmetric, so the spread of globalization processes is also uneven, which indicates the different response of economies to their influence.

Internalized Misogyny: A Transnational Exploration of Select Literary Narratives

Patriarchy is a pervasive global phenomenon, that creates social, cultural and political disparities and perpetuates gender inequality, discrimination and bias. It is deeply embedded in various discourses of human civilization, operating through both identifiable and unidentifiable mechanisms. Internalized misogyny, many a time is a subtle apparatus that manifests and maintains patriarchy and gender inequality. Identifying internalized misogyny is a complex task owing to the fact that its practices are often legitimized and internalized by women, thus making it unrecognized. Periodically, when overt structures of patriarchal hegemonies are criticized, the covert means of hegemonic functioning, particularly internalized misogyny remains underrepresented and uncritiqued. Thus, addressing the problem of internalized misogyny is the need of the hour. This study adopts two literary narratives namely, The Bonesetter’s Daughter by Amy Tan and Idris: Keeper of the Light by Anita Nair for the ongoing discussion on internalized misogyny. The Bonesetter’s Daughter by Amy Tan inquire into multigenerational reverberations of internalized misogyny, through the traction of mothers and daughters impelling Chinese traditions and gender roles upon themselves and other women around them. Idris: Keeper of the Light by Anita Nair clasps the reader’s attention towards 17th Century India and how the female characters grapples with societal norms that incarcerate them into subservient roles. Hence, this proposed paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the select works to identify and examine the discourse of internalized misogyny, that perpetuates gender inequality. By scrutinizing both works, this paper divulges into the omnipresent nature of internalized misogyny irrespective of contrasting historical and cultural contexts.

Intimate partner violence among pregnant women in Anambra State, Nigeria: Prevalence, pattern, determinants and coping strategies

ABSTRACT Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) has emerged as a global phenomenon, with pregnant women being particularly vulnerable, especially in developing countries. Despite its diverse manifestations and severe impacts, IPV is sometimes perceived as culturally acceptable or as a means of controlling women. Aims: This study aimed to assess the prevalence, patterns and determinants of IPV amongst pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) at a tertiary hospital in Anambra State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional survey enrolled 400 pregnant women receiving ANC at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Anambra State. Data collection utilised semi-structured, self-administered questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. Results: In this study we found a 21.8% prevalence of IPV. Psychological violence was the most common form, followed by sexual and physical violence at rates of 72.4%, 35.6%, and 32.2% respectively. Risk factors associated with IPV included low educational attainment, maternal unemployment, average monthly income of <50,000 naira, partner unemployment and substance abuse, increased maternal age, having family members choose their partner and marital conflicts. Various coping strategies were identified amongst victims, including help-seeking, spiritual recourse, substance abuse, retaliation and divorce. Alarmingly, 75.9% of the participants took no action when faced with IPV. Conclusion: This study underscores the prevalence of IPV among pregnant women, with approximately one in five reporting victimisation during pregnancy. Psychological, sexual, and physical forms of violence occurred in decreasing order of prevalence. We found that a range of factors, including individual and relationship-related factors, correlated with increased odds of IPV. Women who experience IPV adopt different strategies, including help-seeking, spiritual recourse, substance abuse, retaliation, divorce and in some cases, passivity.

"I'm Sorry, 'Alleged' Holocaust": Humor, History and Holocaust Denial

Abstract: This article investigates how comedians use satire and parody to expose the antisemitism that underpins Holocaust denial. Its argument is twofold: first, that as public intellectuals, comedians have the capacity to help steer how audiences understand the significance of the Holocaust and the dangers of Holocaust denial; and second, that by examining comedy over a span of time, we can see how denial has become a global phenomenon. Exploring the work of Sarah Silverman, Jon Stewart, Nathan Fielder and Sacha Baron Cohen, the article shows that a multifaceted approach is required to counteract Holocaust denial, and misinformation more generally, and comedians can be a potent weapon in our arsenal.

Coahuilasaurus lipani, a New Kritosaurin Hadrosaurid from the Upper Campanian Cerro Del Pueblo Formation, Northern Mexico

The Late Cretaceous of Western North America (Laramidia) supported a diverse dinosaur fauna, with duckbilled dinosaurs (Hadrosauridae) being among the most speciose and abundant members of this assemblage. Historically, collecting and preservational biases have meant that dinosaurs from Mexico and the American Southwest are poorly known compared to those of the northern Great Plains. However, evidence increasingly suggests that distinct species and clades inhabited southern Laramidia. Here, a new kritosaurin hadrosaurid, represented by the anterior part of a skull, is reported from the late Campanian of the Cerro del Pueblo Formation, ~72.5 Ma, in Coahuila, Mexico. The Cerro del Pueblo Formation kritosaur was originally considered to represent the same species as a saurolophine from the Olmos Formation of Sabinas, but the Sabinas hadrosaur is now considered a distinct taxon. More recently, the Cerro del Pueblo Formation kritosaur has been referred to Kritosaurus navajovius. We show it represents a new species related to Gryposaurus. The new species is distinguished by its large size, the shape of the premaxillary nasal process, the strongly downturned dentary, and massive denticles on the premaxilla’s palatal surface, supporting recognition of a new taxon, Coahuilasaurus lipani. The dinosaur assemblage of the Cerro del Pueblo Formation shows higher diversity than the contemporaneous fauna of the Horseshoe Canyon Formation in Alberta. Furthermore, Kritosaurini, Lambeosaurini, and Parasaurolophini all persist into the latest Campanian in southern Laramidia after disappearing from northern Laramidia. These patterns suggest declining herbivore diversity seen at high latitudes may be a local, rather than global phenomenon, perhaps driven by cooling at high latitudes in the Late Campanian and Maastrichtian.

Stefan Ouma's Farming As Financial Asset in the Broader Context of Imperialism and Ecological Crises

ABSTRACT: Stefan Ouma's Farming as Financial Asset: Global Finance and the Making of Institutional Landscapes is a valuable contribution to the study of the concrete workings of global finance in agriculture. Through case studies from Tanzania and Aotearoa New Zealand, Ouma's book sheds insight into topics as varied as the colonial history of finance in agriculture, the role of the state, the specific financial actors involved, the difficulties of investigating the specifics of financial investments, and much more. While not addressing the issue of contemporary imperialism, the book touches upon many related topics such as finance's role in furthering inequality, ecological sustainability, and land-driven conflicts. While the author's grasp of the nuances and details of finance-in-farming is commendable, none of the issues brought up by Ouma occur in a political black box but are also arguably parts of the global and complex phenomenon of ecological imperialism with bigger-picture connections that need deeper exploration and theorizing.

Accent Attitudes: A Review Through Affective, Behavioral, and Cognitive Perspectives.

Interacting with speakers of different accents is a prevalent global phenomenon. Given the considerable influence of accents in daily life, it is important to conduct a comprehensive review of listeners' accent attitudes. This paper provides an integrative summary of research on accent attitudes, drawing from the Affective, Behavioral, and Cognitive (ABC) perspectives. We begin by outlining the social meaning of accents and laying out the theoretical foundations of the ABC approach. Then, we organize and integrate existing research findings using the ABC framework. Next, we illustrate how the perspectives intersect by discussing pertinent research findings. Drawing from various sociocultural contexts over many years, this review underscores the significant impact of accents on people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The review concludes by discussing limitations, proposing future directions, highlighting real-world relevance, and suggesting areas for research expansion.

Plant extinction in the Anthropocene

Abstract Species go extinct each day, most without notice. The current human-induced extinction rate is up to 700 times higher than the background rate. Extinctions are not different for plants, animals, or fungi, although botanical and invertebrate extinctions are much more poorly documented than those of charismatic vertebrates. In a recent book on extinct plants (Christenhusz & Govaerts, 2023), an overview of botanical extinctions since 1753 was presented, listing which species became extinct and the probable reason for their extinction. As most have a date when they were last documented, a timeline of extinction can also be compiled based on these data. This timeline shows an increase from 1890 to 1940, but a decline in new recorded extinctions after the 1980s, which is likely a result of taxonomic impediment. Extinction rates before 1800 are impacted by the lack of data (here named Berkeley extinction). It can be concluded that extinction is highest in biodiversity-rich areas with high human influence (extinction hotspots). Two new combinations and a new name are proposed here, showing the importance of taxonomy to conservation. Although anthropogenic plant extinction is a global phenomenon, areas of particular concern are the Hawaiian Islands, southern Africa, Australia, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Brazil. Extinctions have been mainly caused by land clearing for agriculture and urbanization, invasive feral animals, mining, river dams, diseases, and poaching. We predict that the unusual weather patterns associated with rapid climate change may result in more plant extinctions. Reintroduction, even if a species persists in cultivation, is not always possible due to lack of suitable remaining habitat where threats are decreased or removed. Successful reintroduction cannot be guaranteed. It is costly and usually dependent on short-term funding, after which these efforts may be in vain. Protection of species in their natural habitat is much more cost-effective in the long term. Sometimes, rescued plants should be introduced in similar habitats outside their natural range where the threats are absent. This follows the programmes of assisted migration for climate change mitigation, but this can also be assisted introduction to prevent extinction. Protection of critically endangered species that have naturalized outside their native range should also be considered.

Overall, the results of this study will help in understanding the fintech situation in Pakistan.

Bridging classical nucleation theory and molecular dynamics simulation for homogeneous ice nucleation.

Water freezing, initiated by ice nucleation, occurs widely in nature, ranging from cellular to global phenomena. Ice nucleation has been experimentally proven to require the formation of a critical ice nucleus, consistent with classical nucleation theory (CNT). However, the accuracy of CNT quantitative predictions of critical cluster sizes and nucleation rates has never been verified experimentally. In this study, we circumvent this difficulty by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The physical properties of water/ice for CNT predictions, including density, chemical potential difference, and diffusion coefficient, are independently obtained using MD simulation, whereas the calculation of interfacial free energy is based on thermodynamic assumptions of CNT, including capillarity approximation among others. The CNT predictions are compared to the MD evaluations of brute-force simulations and forward flux sampling methods. We find that the CNT and MD predicted critical cluster sizes are consistent, and the CNT predicted nucleation rates are higher than the MD predicted values within three orders of magnitude. We also find that the ice crystallized from supercooled water is stacking-disordered ice with a stacking of cubic and hexagonal ices in four representative types of stacking. The prediction discrepancies in nucleation rate mainly arise from the stacking-disordered ice structure, the asphericity of ice cluster, the uncertainty of ice-water interfacial free energy, and the kinetic attachment rate. Our study establishes a relation between CNT and MD to predict homogeneous ice nucleation.

From Susceptibility to Immunity: The Pandemic of Homicide Grief

Grief from homicide is a global phenomenon. A pattern of structural racism and systemic inequities have shaped Black homicide deaths and have increased the prevalence, susceptibility, spread, and impact of homicide grief for Black communities throughout the global diaspora. A complex interplay of structural vulnerabilities has constituted a worldwide pandemic of homicide grief for Black communities. In this paper, homicide grief is conceptualized as a pandemic. Historical and structural factors that create vulnerability to homicide loss, enhance susceptibility, and facilitate the spread of homicide grief for Black communities is described. A public health framework incorporating prevention, protection, and mitigation strategies is critical to addressing pandemics. A public health framework that incorporates anti-Black racism and other sociopolitical factors that render Black communities disproportionately vulnerable to homicide grief is proposed. Recommendations for reducing the prevalence and interrupting the inequitable spread of homicide grief within Black communities is discussed, including improved access to culturally responsive grief and bereavement services, influencing policy structures, and increasing culturally attuned research efforts.

From vaccine hesitancy to vaccine motivation: A motivational interviewing based approach to vaccine counselling.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted Vaccine Hesitancy (VH) as an accelerating global phenomenon that must be addressed. According to the WHO, thirty to fifty percent of the world's population are VH. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based communication style demonstrated to significantly reduce VH. MI guides people toward change through the expression of empathy and by respecting an individual's autonomy. Healthcare providers (HCPs) are the primary implementors of vaccine policies and the most trusted advisors and influencers of vaccination intention at the individual patient level. Training HCPs in MI is one of the most effective strategies to overcome VH. Many countries are currently implementing HCP training programs and population-based MI interventions to improve vaccine uptake. MI conversations are 'the heart' of vaccine decision-making processes. Understanding individual patient-level drivers of hesitancy allows clinicians to efficiently provide tailored, accurate information that reinforces a person's own motivation and confidence in their own decision. This paper describes a 4-step practical framework designed to support HCPs in their dialogue with vaccine-hesitant patients. (1) Engaging to establish a trustful relationship and safety to freely express opinions, beliefs, and knowledge gaps; (2) Understanding what matters most to the individual; (3) Offering Information to co-build accurate knowledge in order to guide the individual toward vaccine intention (4) Clarifying and Accepting to validate an individual's decision-making autonomy. We believe that our pragmatic approach can contribute to greater acceptability of COVID-19 and other vaccines, and enable rapid deployment of practical MI skills across care systems.

Gender Justice in Saudi Arabia: Sociotechnical Institutions' Approach to Addressing Domestic Violence Against Women and Men

The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of a sociotechnical institutional approach in overcoming domestic violence against women and men in Saudi Arabia with a focus on achieving gender justice. This research uses an extensive literature review method by examining scientific literature, official documents, and reports from various sources to gain an in-depth understanding of this problem. This analysis involves a synthesis of literature findings to understand the dynamics of domestic violence and the effectiveness of sociotechnical strategies in promoting gender justice in Saudi Arabia. The research results show that domestic violence is a global phenomenon that is understood and handled with different approaches from Islamic, Feminist and Western perspectives. The Islamic perspective emphasizes the values of justice, respect and reconciliation in marital relations, as well as fighting for women's rights and opposing violence within the framework of religious teachings. Feminist approaches, particularly in Western contexts, highlight gender-based power dynamics and urge to address inequality as a root cause of domestic violence. In addition, the family violence perspective and ecological violence theory offer a broader view of this issue. In Saudi Arabia, the role of sociotechnical institutions is very important in overcoming the problem of domestic violence. A multidisciplinary approach that includes technology, legal reform, education, and community support contributes to creating a safer and more supportive environment for women. This research concludes that a sociotechnical institutional approach can be an effective strategy in achieving gender justice and reducing domestic violence in Saudi Arabia.

E-Commerce's Impact On Economic Growth

This study aims to analyze the impact of e-commerce on economic growth in Indonesia using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. E-commerce has become a significant global phenomenon, and Indonesia is projected to have the highest e-commerce growth rate in the world in 2024. With an e-commerce trade value reaching 78%, Indonesia shows great potential in this sector. The study finds that e-commerce contributes significantly to increased productivity and efficiency, broader market access, and technology and innovation adoption by SMEs. However, challenges such as technology access, digital literacy, and infrastructure remain obstacles. The study emphasizes the need for policies that support the enhancement of digital infrastructure and training for SMEs to optimize e-commerce potential. Relevant policy implications can help the government and stakeholders maximize the benefits of e-commerce for national economic growth. By using the SLR approach, this study provides a comprehensive and integrative analysis of the impact of e-commerce on economic growth in Indonesia and presents strong empirical evidence of the causal relationship between the two. The study also offers recommendations for future research, including the use of primary data, regional analysis, international comparative studies, and attention to social and environmental impacts. Additionally, further research into policy and regulatory effectiveness, the role of technology and innovation, longitudinal studies, and collaboration with the private sector is also recommended. Thus, this study makes an important contribution to understanding and leveraging e-commerce potential for sustainable economic growth in Indonesia.

Global synthesis indicates widespread occurrence of shifting baseline syndrome.

As environmental degradation continues at local, regional, and global levels, people's accepted norms for natural environmental conditions are likely to decline. This phenomenon, known as shifting baseline syndrome (SBS), is increasingly recognized as a likely major obstacle to addressing global environmental challenges. However, the prevalence of SBS remains uncertain. We conducted an extensive systematic review, synthesizing existing research on people's perceived environmental baselines. Our analysis, based on 73 case studies, suggests that SBS is a widespread global phenomenon, occurring across diverse socioeconomic, environmental, and cultural settings. We observed that younger individuals tend to hold lower environmental baselines across various environmental contexts, including climate change, natural resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and pollution. An upward shift in perceived environmental baselines among younger generations was rarely observed. These results underscore the challenge that SBS poses when policy and management responses to environmental degradation are influenced by perceived natural environmental norms.

Long-term trends in the functional structure of estuarine fish assemblages in a subtropical estuary and its relationships with local environmental variability, man-made changes, and climatic drivers

Climate and anthropogenic impacts are prevalent in marine and estuarine ecosystems. Rapid environmental changes have altered biological diversity and the ecological services associated with ecosystems around the world. The consequences of these impacts on estuarine ecosystems are worrying, given that estuaries are essential habitats for maintaining the diversity of species functions, as they act as sources for larger ecosystems through the recruitment and replacement of species. Through long-term standardized monitoring (1996–2019), we evaluated the temporal variability of the functional structure of fish species in a subtropical estuary using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and their relationship with environmental, climatic, and anthropogenic variables using Generalized Additive Models (GAM). We investigate the hypothesis that natural disturbances associated with El Niño events and anthropogenic ones related with changes in the estuary morphology will lead to a decrease in the diversity of functions of the fish assemblage in the Patos Lagoon Estuary in south Brazil (32°S). Our findings suggest an overall downward trend in the fish functional structure, especially in the second half (2006–2019) of the time series, which seems to be associated with a combination of abiotic effects (salinity and temperature), global climate phenomena (ENSO phases) and anthropogenic impacts (changes in the morphology of the estuarine mouth and its connection with the sea). These findings rise concern considering the current climate change scenario, where phenomena such as El Niño may become more frequent and intense. Therefore, the evidence from this study suggests that extreme natural climatic events in synergy with anthropogenic disturbances may imply biodiversity losses over time and, consequently, loss of ecosystem processes in a subtropical estuary.

Exploring the Facilitators of the Gerotranscendence Theory: Correlations among Sustainable Behaviors, Biophilic Design, and Nature Connectedness.

Aim: This study aims to shift views away from negative perceptions towards aging by exploring the following research question: How are the multiple levels of the gerotranscendence theory influenced by the sustainable behavior and attitude toward the biophilic design of older adults? Background: Improving perceptions of aging is vital for positively impacting both the biological and societal aspects of the global aging phenomenon. Methods: The study utilized a mixed-method design. Initially, 300 older Turkish adults completed self-reported measures including the Gerotranscendence Scale (GS), Pro-environmental Behavior (PB), Environmental Identity Scale (EID), Biophilic Design Importance Level (BDI), and Inclusion of Nature in the Self Scale (INS). Subsequently, the second phase involved diary logs from 30 participants who volunteered during the initial phase. Results: Results indicated that a higher importance level placed on biophilic design was linked to a greater inclusion of nature in the self. Moreover, a stronger interest in nature correlated positively with the gerotranscendence experience. Conclusions: The results bring significant attention to biophilic design, especially its relevance in supporting sustainable environmental behaviors and positive aging.

Analysis of the Potential Threat of Indonesian Foreign Terrorist Fighters in Syria to Indonesia

The movement of Foreign Terrorist Fighters (FTFs) in Syria has emerged as a global phenomenon, drawing serious attention from numerous countries due to its significant scale. Indonesia is among the nations contributing to the movement of FTFs in this context. A critical aspect currently under scrutiny is the discourse around their repatriation to Indonesia. Therefore, a key component that must be considered is the potential threat these individuals pose upon returning to Indonesia. To address this, the study employs a qualitative approach, gathering data through literature reviews and interviews with stakeholders directly involved with Indonesian FTFs. The research provides an analysis of the various potential threats posed by these FTFs upon their return to Indonesia, based on a review of literature and factual data regarding the actions previously undertaken by FTFs in Indonesia.

Assessing Patterns and Trends in Urbanization and Land Use Efficiency Across the Philippines: A Comprehensive Analysis Using Global Earth Observation Data and SDG 11.3.1 Indicators

Urbanization, a global phenomenon with profound implications for sustainable development, is a focal point of Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11). Aimed at fostering inclusive, resilient, and sustainable urbanization by 2030, SDG 11 emphasizes the importance of monitoring land use efficiency (LUE) through indicator 11.3.1. In the Philippines, urbanization has surged over recent decades. Despite its importance, research on urbanization and LUE has predominantly focused on the country’s national capital region (Metro Manila), while little to no attention is given to comprehensive investigations across different regions, provinces, cities, and municipalities of the country. Additionally, challenges in acquiring consistent spatial data, especially due to the Philippines’ archipelagic nature, have hindered comprehensive analysis. To address these gaps, this study conducts a thorough examination of urbanization patterns and LUE dynamics in the Philippines from 1975 to 2020, leveraging Global Human Settlement Layers (GHSL) data and secondary indicators associated with SDG 11.3.1. Our study examines spatial patterns and temporal trends in built-up area expansion, population growth, and LUE characteristics at both city and municipal levels. Among the major findings are the substantial growth in built-up areas and population across the country. We also found a shift in urban growth dynamics, with Metro Manila showing limited expansion in recent years while new urban growth emerges in other regions of the country. Our analysis of the spatiotemporal patterns of Land Consumption Rate (LCR) revealed three distinct evolutional phases: a growth phase between 1975–1990, followed by a decline phase between 1990–2005, and a resurgence phase from 2005–2020. Generally declining trends in LCR and Population Growth Rate (PGR) were evident, demonstrating the country’s direction towards efficient built-up land utilization. However, this efficiency coincides with overcrowding issues as revealed by additional indicators such as the Achieved Population Density in Expansion Areas (AAPDEA) and Marginal Land Consumption per New Inhabitant (MLCNI). We also analyzed the spatial patterns and temporal trends of LUE across the country and found distinct clusters of transitioning urban centers, densely inhabited metropolises, expanding metropolitan regions, and rapidly growing urban hubs. The study’s findings suggest the need for policy interventions that promote compact and sustainable urban development, equitable regional development, and measures to address overcrowding in urban areas. By aligning policies with the observed spatial and temporal trends, decision-makers can work towards achieving SDG 11, fostering inclusive, resilient, and sustainable urbanization in the Philippines.
