AN ASSESSMENT OF THE NEXUS BETWEEN GOOD GOVERNANCE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
(Sciendo, 2024) Simba, Hamis Miraji; Nyadera, Israel Nyaburi
Subject and purpose of work: This study investigates the nexus between good governance and GDP per capita within Sub-Saharan African countries (SSA), using a dynamic panel data set from 2005 to 2023. The study contributes a comprehensive investigation to the literature that links the previous and recent effects of good governance indicators on economic growth in Sub-Saharan African countries. Drawing on data from the World Development Indicators (WDI), World Governance Indicators (WGI), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the study examines 36 SSA countries through key governance indicators, including government effectiveness (GEF), government corruption control (GCC), political stability and absence of violence (PSA), regulatory quality (RQ), and rule of law (RL). Materials and methods: A two-step system Generalized Method of Moments (sys-GMM) estimator is employed to address endogeneity concerns, particularly the association between the lagged dependent variable and potential exogenous variables, as well as to control for biases, unobserved panel heterogeneity, and measurement errors. Results: Empirical findings indicate that: establishing government effectiveness structures yields a significant positive impact on GDP per capita, enhancing government corruption control mechanisms contributes substantially to GDP per capita by mitigating resource misallocation, and improvements in regulatory quality and adherence to rule of law are positively associated with GDP per capita. Conclusions: The study concludes that Sub-Saharan African countries should prioritize the development and enforcement of robust governance institutions to foster sustainable economic growth. By embedding good governance principles, Sub-Sahara Africa can strengthen its economic trajectory, ensuring the advancement of GDP per capita throughout the region.
The cheese industry's global economic landscape: An essential perspective
(IGI Global, 2024) Çakır, Merve Uçkan; Torusdağ, Gülşen Berat
Fermented products such as cheese, consumed fondly in many parts of the world, are seen as value-added dairy products due to their functional and economic effects on health. This research examines the financial performance of the cheese industry from both production and consumption perspectives. It evaluates global costs of cheese production, production capacities, and the contributions of local cheese markets to the regional economy and development. The study highlights the emergence of cheese tourism as a significant interest area within gastronomy tourism, particularly in countries like France, Italy, Spain, and New Zealand. Recent research also suggests potential for cheese tourism in Brazil and Russia. Cheese tourism intersects with industrial tourism, with cheese-related activities crucial to economic development. Within the scope of this study, a conceptual analysis was carried out from a financial perspective on the cheese food product, which is the most produced and consumed among milk and dairy products.
Digital strategies and technological developments for commercial kitchens with a zero waste kitchen approach
(IGI Global, 2024) Tatlısu, Nevruz Berna; Torusdağ, Gülşen Berat
The UN sets goals for a sustainable and equitable future. Reducing food waste increases access to food, saves financial resources, alleviates the climate crisis, and creates hopes for economic and social progress. New strategies are needed to manage waste at all stages of the food supply chain, save energy and water, to reduce the disproportionate amount of waste produced by industrial kitchens. Zero waste is the most holistic innovation of the 21st century and promotes responsible production and consumption, which are among the sustainable development goals. Digitalization has an incalculable potential to contribute to the sustainability of the planet or to reduce its negative impact on people. While digitalization and technology alone cannot solve the global food waste problem, bringing them together, supporting them with policies, regulations and infrastructures, promotes the prevention of waste. This study examines the potential of technological solutions to improve waste management and support a zero- waste approach by integrating digital technologies into the kitchen.
The Relationship Between Anthropometric Z-Score Measurements and Ocular Structures in Turkish Children
(Romanian Society of Ophthalmology, 2023) Bulut, Erkan; Sakallıoğlu, Ahmet Kürşad; Dayi, Özlem; Alacamşı, Göksu
Objective (Aim): This study explores the contact between anthropometric Z-score values and ocular parameters in children. Recent studies investigated the relationship, and contact between anthropometric measurements and ocular parameters in children, and height, weight, body mass index, and percentile curves are mostly used as anthropometric data. However, today, different scoring systems such as “Z-score” classify anthropometric values. Methods: Height and body mass index Z-scores were calculated for 725 children. Biometric and refractive measurements of all children were noted. For different reference values, those with a Z-score below the negative value of the reference were defined as a low Z-score, those between the negative and positive value of the reference were defined as a normal Z-score, those with a Z-score greater than the positive value of the reference were defined as a high Z-score. The mean ocular measurement results in the low, normal, and high Z-score groups were compared, and they were pointed to reach the reference value in both negative and positive sides which created the foremost critical contrast between the groups. Results: For a value of “-1” and “+1.5” in the height Z-score, from low to normal and from there to high Z-score group, axial length, and average corneal radius increased, and average corneal power decreased significantly. Anterior chamber depth increased from normal to high Z-score group, but no critical distinction was made between low and normal Z-score groups. Moreover, no critical distinction was observed in spherical equivalent refraction, central corneal thickness for height, and all values of body mass index. Conclusion: Considering a Z-score value of “-1” and “+1.5” as a reference value in children and anticipating the changes that may happen in the ocular structures of children at both ends of the Z-score, it may be useful to understand the effect of body development on ocular development more.
Adaptive workforce optimization in HRM practices amid large-scale disruptions
(IGI Global, 2024) Pandey, Aryan; Dubey, Abhishek; Anand, Lla Mehrotra; Kariveliparambil, Ashifa; Rahman, Mehdi
Organisations worldwide face significant interruption from the COVID-19 epidemic. This report examines the complex link between HRM and OB in the pandemic. It highlights good and negative impacts. This qualitative study uses semi-structured interviews with HR professionals to reveal Covid-19's complex impact on workplaces. The Covid-19 epidemic changed how workers work and experience their jobs. The transition to remote work disrupted routines and relationships, causing uncertainty and anxiety. HR departments recognised the importance of a great remote work experience and took steps to connect remote staff. Virtual team-building, regular check-ins, and engagement-boosting practices made distant work more positive. HRM struggled throughout this period despite efforts. The rapid switch to remote work required quick modifications and employee assistance. The epidemic presented many hurdles for HR workers.
