The study investigated the effect of bank credit to the private sector on the performance of manufacturing sector in Nigeria, from 1981 – 2021. The objective of the study is to determine the effect of bank credit to the private sector (CPS) on the manufacturing output in Nigeria. To carry out the study, data were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin and National Bureau of Statistics for various years. The dependent variable for the study was manufacturing output while the proxies for exploratory variable include; credit to the private sector (CPS); interest and exchange rates. For analysis and estimation, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method was adopted. Augmented Dicker Fuller (ADF) tests for stationarity showed that the variables were integrated at first level while ARDL Bound tests established a cointegration relationship of the variables. The result of the study revealed that credit to the private sector (CPS), interest rate; and exchange rate (independent variables) on the aggregate accounted for 93.9% of the total variations on manufacturing output (dependent variable) in Nigeria during the study period while 6.1% was due to stochastic error. The result further found out exchange rate had a positive coefficient value and a significant impact on manufacturing output in Nigeria during the period of study while other explanatory variables that include credit to the private sector and interest rate were statistically insignificant on manufacturing GDP during the study period. On the basis of the findings, the researcher recommends that Central bank of Nigeria as an apex bank should apart from using both direct and indirect controls should strengthen the use of moral suasion to encourage banks not to relent in granting the sector as the government endeavours to diversify the revenue sources of the economy. Secondly, government and Central Bank of Nigeria (the apex regulatory body of banks) should take bold steps and use all necessary economic and financial policies and regulations to make lending a single digit interest rate in Nigeria especially in a critical sector like agriculture.

Background: Hypoalbuminemia, indicative of malnutrition and illness, is associated with a heightened risk of poor post-operative outcomes, particularly impaired wound healing. Pregnancy, characterized by elevated estrogen levels, may further complicate wound healing processes. Objective: To evaluate the association of serum albumin level with wound healing after a caesarean section. Methods: A cohort of 100 pregnant patients undergoing caesarean section at Dhaka Medical College Hospital was included between January and December 2020. Preoperative serum albumin levels were measured, with hypoalbuminemia defined as < 3.5 g/dl. Patients were categorized into groups of hypoalbuminemic (Group I) and normal albuminemic (Group II). Postoperatively, patients were monitored for 60 days to identify surgical site infections and signs of delayed wound healing. Results: The mean preoperative serum albumin level was 2.57±0.35 gm/dl in group I and 4.2±0.4 gm/dl in group II. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) between two groups. Out of 19 patients, 9 (47.4%) developed post caesarean wound infection and delayed wound healing in group I. Out of 81 patients, 7(8.6%) developed post caesarean wound infection and delayed wound healing in group II. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) with OR=9.51 having 95% CI (2.52-37.32). The number of post-operative days in hospital was 13.11±6.14 in group I and 3.22±1.41 in group II. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) between two groups. A subject with serum albumin (<3.5 gm/dl) had 7.626 (95.0% CI 2.324 to 25.02) times increased risk to develop wound infection and delayed wound healing after surgery. Other variables were not significantly associated with delayed wound healing. Conclusion: Hypoalbuminemia is an independent risk factor for the delay in wound healing. Low serum albumin level correlates well with the development of surgical site infection and delayed wound healing contributed to prolonged hospital stay.

DOI: 10.36348/sjef.2024.v08i06.001
The increasing volume of international trade, coupled with the computer-nature of many of these relationships, has led to greater reliance on arbitration to resolve contractual disputes. This settlement of disputes by a non-judicial third party is increasingly called for, in international. Contracts because it is cheaper, quicker, and more private than resolving disputes through litigation. Equally important, however, is the fact that it can take place in a neutral location. The increase trade with countries such as China, Japan and Korea where mediation rather than litigation of disputes is traditional, has given added impetus to this trend. The growing attractiveness has resulted in the establishment of arbitration centers in world capitals such as London, Cairo, Hong Kong and Stockholm and major cities as Geneva and New York. Recognition and enforcement of international arbitration agreements and awards is generally controlled through multilateral treaties. An outgrowth of this trend has been the emergence of several major arbitral institutions that have conducted their own sets of rules and procedures. However, the parties to a contract are free to opt for a more informal or ad hoc arbitration arrangement based on their own set of guidelines. Such agreements are legally enforceable as long as the parties have agreed to abide by the arbitrator’s decision. In Cameroon however, since the passage of the OHADA Treaty was signed and ratified in 2000, it is applicable in the territory of Cameroon. This is the first treaty of its kind in Africa to deal with arbitration matters sometimes referred to as well.

In “Howl”, Allen Ginsberg described the alternative life of a group of bohemian young people, criticizing the technological rationality in post-World War II American society and the mainstream culture. The poem has both rebellious and prophetic images. On the one hand, it rebels against tradition and gives vent to the author’s anger both in form and content; on the other hand, it sets a model for the counterculture movement of the hippies in the 1960s, heralding the arrival of a new and turbulent era.

There has been various studies research on the Impact of the Fiscal Policy on Economic Growth by testing the Wagner’s Law and Keynes theory. This study holds two objectives, the first objective is to review a performance of the implementation government expenditure, and second objective is to test on the government expenditure contributes to the economic growth in the Lao PDR. To reach these two objectives, this study applies two methodologies. The first methodology is descriptive approach to respond for the first objective, and second methodology is bound testing approach and vector error correction approach to respond for second. This study is applied for time series data in terms of annual data from 1981 to 2014 in all models. The source of the data is mostly the website of the Asia Development Bank (ADB) year 2016. The results of the first methodology shows that the performance of the government expenditure continued increase rapidly, especially in 1986, 1997 and policy changed in 2012-2013 in terms of current expenditure for salary and capital expenditure directly affected to real Gross Domestic Products growth. The results of the second methodology shows that the Keynes theory and Wagner’s Law are significant and satisfied for the Lao economy in the long run. It meant that government expenditure has directly contributed RGDP, and vice versa. However, in the short run are not significant and unsatisfied in any lag.

Satisfaction is considered as a motivation to help individuals who are not persistent enough to fully perform physical education exercises. However, the effect of satisfaction on fitness development has not been determined, especially for non-sport students. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of female students' satisfaction on general physical fitness at Saigon University. 1007 female student were volunteered and selected who divided randomize in two groups (experimental and control). The solutions to improve satisfaction was selected and applied to experimental group, while control group do not apply the solution and practice according to a predetermined 15-week training program. The one-way ANCOVA algorithm was used to assess the difference in the general fitness level of female students in the pre- and post-experiment stages between the experimental and control groups. The results indicated that there was difference in the general fitness level of female students between the group that applied the solutions and the control group in the study. Further research is needed to be able to clearly assess the factors affecting the physical development and satisfaction in different groups of subjects in terms of age, gender, higher training level and in different specialized sports group.

Indonesia's environmental licensing process is critical for regulating business activities and safeguarding the environment. This analysis explores the interaction between this process and the government's recent efforts to enhance "ease of doing business." Before streamlining measures, obtaining environmental permits was a complex and time-consuming ordeal. Businesses faced difficulties meeting stringent requirements and navigating a bureaucratic labyrinth. The "ease of doing business" provisions aim to simplify procedures and expedite permit acquisition, ideally without compromising environmental protection. The paper emphasizes the importance of achieving a balance between efficiency and environmental protection. While streamlining can improve business competitiveness, a decline in environmental impact assessment quality could have negative consequences. The discussion also explores the various obstacles hindering the current licensing process, including complex bureaucracy, high costs, and limited interagency coordination. To overcome these challenges, the paper suggests measures to simplify procedures, improve communication between government agencies, and raise environmental awareness among businesses. By effectively integrating ease of doing business with environmental considerations, Indonesia can create a more efficient licensing system that fosters sustainable economic growth.
As a leading writer of postmodernism, Donald Barthelme in his masterpiece The Glass Mountain makes use of some postmodern writing skills, such as parody, fragment and irony, to demonstrate a destructive world and clearly illustrates an absurd story. Actually, the absurdity in the story has its profound social meaning, reflecting the author’s profound insight into the postmodern social reality.

The aim of this research is to analyze law enforcement regarding the criminal act of illegal work placement. The approach method used is sociological juridical. The types of data used are primary and secondary data. The research results found that Law Enforcement of the Crime of Illegal Workforce Placement has not been running optimally considering: There is still a lack of job opportunities in Indonesia, so workers are forced to choose to work abroad via Batam in order to get a decent life; Indonesia is an archipelagic country, so law enforcement in cases of illegal Indonesian Migrant Workers is quite difficult considering that a large archipelagic country like Indonesia opens up opportunities for violations to be committed; The government has not accommodated Indonesian Migrant Workers as victims of illegal Indonesian Migrant Workers, resulting in law enforcement that is beneficial for all citizens not yet being felt optimally. For this reason, the need for law enforcement related to criminal acts of illegal workforce placement requires a holistic and coordinated approach in which strengthening cooperation between related parties must be built by increasing cooperation between law enforcement agencies.
