This research rigorously examines the intricate influences on Honduras' cost of borrowing from 2013 to 2022. The study employs the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) and Standard and Poor's as main determinants. Control variables include macroeconomic fundamentals that pertain to a country’s performance such as GDP growth, inflation and international reserves, fiscal variables such as debt-to-GDP ratio, and the central administration’s balance, and global factors such as global risk aversion measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange's CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) and U.S rates. The study finds that country-specific fundamentals, global factors, corruption perceptions, sovereign credit ratings, and political risk all play significant roles in influencing Honduras’ cost of borrowing. It also exposes the limitations of credit ratings in capturing the truth about bond pricing in Honduras. These findings highlight the complex interplay of economic, global, and sociopolitical factors in shaping Honduras' bond spreads, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach to credit risk assessment and bond market analysis. The results from this research contribute to economic stability strategies for policymakers, enhance understanding for economists, and assists investors and financial analysts in making informed decisions based on identified variables impacting bond spreads.

This research aims to examine how senior students at Uzbekistan's Kimyo International University (KIUT) benefit from professional training in terms of their professional development. The study aims to determine how senior university students' professional development is affected by workplace training, and secondly, how professional training affects the development of senior university students' career skills. A qualitative research strategy is used in the study's methodology. The semi-structured interview is the tool used for qualitative research. Eight seniors from Tashkent's Kimyo International University (KIUT) participated in the qualitative method's semi-structured interview. After interviewing eight key participants from Kimyo International University in Tashkent (KIUT), the researchers preferred the reflexive thematic analysis method for analyzing the interview transcripts. Students' training contributes to senior students' professional development, as indicated by the qualitative findings. According to this research, training also helps students hone their interpersonal and professional skills, which are crucial for their future employment. Participants' knowledge, practices, and professional community were positively impacted, and their potential in the training workplaces was enhanced, by the direct impacts of training content emphasis, active learning, and follow-up. Perceived knowledge, practice, professional, and interpersonal skills had a significant influence on students' practice and learning outcomes, which in turn affected the effectiveness of the training programs. Findings from this research have important implications for professional development and the acquiring of practical skills among university seniors. In addition, senior-year students at universities may benefit greatly from internships and other forms of professional training to hone their interpersonal and professional competence. Nevertheless, in order to determine the efficacy of professional training in enhancing career skills and 21st-century skills, longitudinal studies with more representative samples are required.

This study investigates the impact of remittances on the health status of parents left behind in their communities by their children. While the existing literature explores the effects of remittances through health expenditure, this study contributes to the literature by analysing the causal effects of remittances on the level of access to healthcare services and health outcomes. Using three waves of the Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey coupled with a fixed-effects instrumental variable approach, we find that demand for healthcare declines with rising remittances and that remittances decrease acute illness, hinting that remittances may improve preventative health measures. Finally, the findings suggest to policymakers the importance of greater investments in the public health system to make it accessible for all, especially for non-remittance-receiving households.

Considering the enormous contributions of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises’ (SMEs) towards economic growth, employment generation and poverty alleviation across nations of the world, makes it impossible to de-emphasize its significant roles in bringing about desired development within an economy despite the various challenges confronting this sector. This study therefore seeks to investigate the determinants of the growth of small and medium scale enterprises in Ado-Ekiti Metropolis. The objectives of the study include assessing influence of technology and managerial competence on Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) growth. Descriptive research design and ordinary least square techniques were used in analysing the primary data generated through the administered copies of questionnaire. Results obtained indicated that both technology and managerial competence positively impacted on the growth of SMEs in Ado-Ekiti. It is therefore concluded that technology and managerial competence have contributed to the growth of SMEs in Ado-Ekiti Metropolis but not as much as projected. Hence, it is recommended that improved technology should be adopted by SMEs coupled with competent management team to enable them produce at optimal level and to further engender their growth. SUMMARY OF THE ARTICLE The study explored the determinants of SMEs Growth in Ado-Ekiti Metropolis, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Simple percentages and Ordinary Least Squares technique of estimation were used in achieving the objectives of the study which are finding out if managerial competence can stimulate SMEs growth and likewise if technology impacts. From the study it was found that both factors significantly and positively impact the growth of the SMEs within the metropolis. Business registration and SMEs growth were found to be directly related implying that any business that is registered has the potential of growing faster than those that are not. It therefore follows that private small business owners should be ready to invest more on the training and development of their personnel so as to further boost their productivity and ultimately the growth of SMEs. In the same manner, they should embrace the use of modern technology either locally invented where available or foreign technology in the absence of the former. Moreover, SMEs desirous of business expansion should formalise their business activities to enhance their greater acceptability in business world.

In general, it is found that several students experience difficulties in pronouncing the language, do not dare to speak firmly, and seem to have difficulty with the grammatical meaning of what is said. The problem is a lack of understanding of grammatical meaning and competition at his age, sometimes appearing nervous, worried, feeling shy, tense, avoiding face-to-face and anxious when communicating. The student's condition needs to be studied with the aim of finding out the extent of the difficulties they are experiencing to be used to solve the problem. There were 87 students participating in the Indonesian Language and Literature Study Program at Wisnuwardhana University Malang, using a population study sampling technique. Quantitative research methods using competitive, grammatical and communication anxiety scales have been tested for validity with Moment Products, and reliability with Cronbach's Alpha, the results are valid and reliable. The results of data analysis using ANOVA show that the sig 0.161 is not significant because the result is > 0.05, meaning that communication anxiety is not only influenced by grammar and competition but can also be influenced by other aspects.
总的来看，发现有几个学生在语言发音上有困难，不敢坚定地说话，似乎很难理解所说的语法意义。问题出在对语法意义的理解不到位，年龄小竞争意识不强，交流时有时显得紧张、担心、害羞、紧张、回避面对面，焦虑不安。需要对学生的情况进行研究，目的是找出他们遇到困难的程度，以便用于解决问题。马朗维斯努瓦哈纳大学（Wisnuwardhana University Malang）有 87 名学生参加了印尼语言文学学习项目，采用的是人口研究抽样技术。使用竞争焦虑、语法焦虑和交流焦虑量表的定量研究方法已通过矩阵产品（Moment Products）进行了效度检验，并通过克朗巴赫阿尔法（Cronbach's Alpha）进行了信度检验，结果是有效和可靠的。使用方差分析进行数据分析的结果表明，sig 0.161 不显著，因为结果大于 0.05，这意味着沟通焦虑不仅受语法和竞争的影响，还可能受其他方面的影响。

The study focuses on the challenges faced by Values Education students in applying their learnings to daily life, emphasizing the importance of values education in character and moral development. The key questions explore the barriers in integrating values education into daily life, factors affecting the application of values education concepts, and coping mechanisms used by students. A phenomenological research design was employed, focusing on semi-structured interviews with tertiary-level students majoring in Values Education at Leyte Normal University. A convenience sampling was used with a sample size of 10 students. Finding shows that students face challenges such as socio-economic pressures, peer influence, and personal biases that hinder the application of values education in their everyday lives. Key challenges identified include internal conflicts, societal norms, peer expectations, and practical constraints that hinder the consistent application of values. Specific values such as courage, commitment, respect, empathy, patience, resilience, optimism, and determination were found to be particularly difficult to integrate into daily routines. The study suggests the need for supportive educational environments, experiential learning opportunities, to better equip students to overcome barriers and effectively apply the values learned in school in various life contexts.

Most studies on inter-state migrant workers in Kerala focus on male migrants arriving in the state. Kerala began to receive migrant workers in 1950. There has been a significant shift in it since 1990. From the 1960s to the 1990s, migrant workers came to Kerala from Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. During those times, women came to Kerala along with men. After the 1990s, migration from Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand, and Haryana gained momentum. Many women have moved to Kerala since 2000, as opposed to male migrants from 1990 to 2000. Many human rights issues face migrant women in Kerala, including their workplaces, lifestyles, job searches, and travel. The consequences of not getting significant health interventions and being harassed at work are not well known in society. A study of migrant women begins in the public space, where they are not considered citizens but as objects of utility. My research revealed 516,000 migrant women in Kerala, based on a government document obtained through RTI. There are 25000 female migrant workers among them. It is estimated that around 34 lakh migrant workers work in Kerala, according to the Kerala Planning Board's 2021 report. Out of that, 20% of women work in many workplaces and enterprises in Kerala. According to surveys and a government assessment, Kerala's Ernakulam district has the highest concentration of migrant women workers. The female migrant workers in the Perumbavoor one of the cities of the Ernakulam district are the subject of this study. Female workers who work in plywood, bricks, baji, tailoring, pan shops, plastic manufacturing, textile manufacturing, and other industrial units are the subject of this study. Female migrant workers are personally met and interviewed during fieldwork to obtain data. For this study, qualitative ethnographic research methodology is employed. The findings of this study suggest the government's policy-making for social welfare, social security, job security, the prevention of sexual violence, and making sure that female migrants in Kerala receive equal pay for equal work. This study is being conducted with the human rights of women migrant workers in Kerala foremost in mind. Information is being directly collected from migrant women workers, labour department health department government representatives, trade union members, NGO representatives, etc.

This study emphasizes the necessity of empowering coffee farmer organizations to improve agricultural capacity in Dogiyai Regency, Papua. However, this empowerment has yet to be optimized due to various restrictions. The study is based on the community empowerment theory, which covers enabling, strengthening, safeguarding, supporting, and maintaining elements. The research method adopted is qualitative, with a descriptive focus. The data were gathered by observation, interviews, and documentation with 25 informants. Data analysis involved data reduction, presentation, and verification. The findings demonstrate that local government policies prioritize infrastructure over improving farmer groups' capacities. This is shown by the low level of support for the community's potential and the culture of coffee farmer associations. Furthermore, a lack of problem-solving knowledge and farmer groups' confidence are hurdles. Local government protection is inadequate, and coffee grower groups face discrimination. The absence of helpful advice and a favorable environment for farming endeavors impedes effective empowerment. The proposed empowerment model entails providing researchers and extension services, helping with an emphasis on enabling aspects, altering knowledge, attitudes, and abilities, and boosting production and revenue. The goal is to empower and improve the welfare of coffee farmer groups in Dogiyai Regency.

Smartphones are simple to use, even for kindergarten students. Smartphones include programs that can entice children and help them spend their time wisely. Children who are unrestricted in their use of smartphones by their parents or caretakers are more likely to exhibit negative behaviors. The majority of the literature on children's smartphone use primarily focuses on its negative impacts, however a few also acknowledge its positive aspects. This research is critical because today's children are growing up in an age of technological advancement. This study aims to provide adults, parents, caregivers, and teachers with valuable insights on effectively managing smartphones to foster positivity and creativity in children. This study sought to observe and describe the impact of smartphone use on the creativity and imagination of kindergarten students. This study will utilize descriptive and drawing analysis methods. The participants will consist of twenty-four drawings created by kindergarten children. Twelve of these drawings will be selected as examples for this study. This study demonstrated a beneficial correlation between children's use of smartphones and their creativity and imagination. It is demonstrated by the results of fourteen distinct types of things drawn from twenty-four gathered drawings. This work will make major contributions to fields such as communication, psychology, and education. This study recommends the involvement of adults, parents, family members, caretakers, and teachers in children's everyday lives to encourage and aid them in discovering their potential in order to develop their imagination and creativity.
