This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the financial markets in the 21'st century; focusing on the G7 countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The justification for this research originates from the significant role these markets plays in the global economy and the need to understand their complexities in relation to risk, uncertainty, and economic growth. The primary objective is to empiricaly investigate the dynamics and correlations of these aspects within the financial markets of the countries selected in this study. The study is based on secondary data spanning 12 years, from 2010 to 2021, covering all 7 countries, and making it a panel data analysis. Methodologically, the research employs various econometric models and techniques, including Ordinary Least Squares, OLS Robust, and fixed and random effects models. The empirical results suggest that the fixed effects model is the most suitable for this study, as confirmed by the Hausman test. According to this model, a 1% increase in stock market capitalization relative to GDP positively impacts GDP growth by 0.06. Furthermore, stock market value trades were found to have a positive correlation with economic growth. In contrast, stock price volatility and pension fund assets negatively impact economic growth. Notably, these findings diverge from some previous studies in the field. In conclusion, the research provides valuable insights into the relationship between financial markets and economic indicators in the G7 countries, thereby offering policy-makers a more nuanced understanding of how to foster economic growth while mitigating risks.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of hypercholesterolemia on the reproductive performance of premature male rats and to evaluate the influence of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) in conserving their fecundity. Sixty rats were randomly assigned to one of three groups. The control group (CG n=20 rats), cholesterol feeding group 1 (CFG1 n=20 rats) were fed 1.5% cholesterol with diet for one month, and cholesterol feeding group 2 (CFG2 n= 20 rats) were fed 1.5% cholesterol with diet + ALA 100 mg/kg body weight supplied by water for one month. The results revealed that compared to CG and CFG2, CFG1's body weight increased significantly. After consuming cholesterol for one month, CFG1's lipid profile revealed a substantial rise in blood cholesterol and triglycerides when compared to CG and the group that consumed ALA CFG2. In comparison to CGF1 and CG, the results of the sperm parameters in CGF2 demonstrated a large rise in sperm count with sperm live percentage and a considerable decrease in sperm abnormality %. Rats from CFG1 had significantly lower serum testosterone levels than rats from CFG2 and CG, according to the hormonal profile. We conclude that the significance of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) in preserving fertility ALA is a strong antioxidant that may preserve the parameters of the sperm of hyperlipidemic preterm rats, which may improve the capacity of hyperlipidemic rats to conceive.

This study investigates the access to finance among Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (MSME) in Kosovo, providing an understanding of the financial landscape of this important sector. Utilizing a quantitative research design, the study administered a structured questionnaire to a representative sample of 250 MSME in Kosovo, encompassing a variety of industries and sizes. The questionnaire measured the types of financing used, perceived barriers to accessing finance, and the impacts of financial constraints on the business.Data analysis included descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and regression analysis. Findings suggest a reliance on internal funds among most MSMEs, with high-interest rates and stringent collateral requirements identified as major barriers to accessing external finance. Moreover, firm size and years of operation appeared to positively influence access to finance. The study concludes with recommendations for regulatory reforms, financial sector development, and capacity building to ease these barriers and enhance MSME growth and competitiveness.Further research is encouraged to probe the effectiveness of different interventions and delve deeper into the experiences of MSMEs in navigating their financial constraints.

The marine tourist attraction has been one of the most important concerns for tourism. The diversity of biota in this coral reef ecosystem has the potential for the development of marine ecotourism. The aim of the research was to reveal the potential of coral the rehabilitation areas in the Badi, Pangkajene and Archipelago for a good tourist destination, especially as a dive site and restoration of coral reef ecosystems, based on the categories of tourism object value and attraction. This research was carried out in March-December 2022 with several stages, including preparation, initial survey, and field data collection. This study includes the suitability matrix for diving activities, and the Scenic Beauty Estimate (SBE) used to determine the quality and the beauty of coral reefs. The results showed that Station 2 and Station 3 were in the very suitable category, while Station 1 and Station 4 were included in the appropriate category because at 6 parameters the appropriate value parameters were calculated for diving tourism. The results of the SBE calculation show that the image with the highest value is Number 4 which is in the transplant location 2 and number 1 is in the transplant location 1 with an SBE value of 97 and 93, respectively. Meanwhile, figure Number 2 is in the natural location 1 and image Number 9 is in the Natural 2 location with SBE values of 0 and 8, respectively. In conclusion, most people are interested in the healing world, and the coral reef rehabilitation object has various types and is rich in coral reefs.

In order to keep up with the ever-increasing need for energy, the use of fossil fuels has no choice but to keep rising in tandem with the world's population, which is rapidly industrialising, urbanising, and expanding economically. Finding a suitable and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels will become necessary if emissions from the use of fossil fuels continue unabated. Because of its renewable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly character, biodiesel is an appropriate alternative solution that may be used in diesel engines. In the current investigation, the compression ratio of CI (Compression Ignition) engines was varied from 17 to 20 in an effort to find the optimum combination of performance, combustion, and emission characteristics for IC engines. When compared to the same blend at CR (Compression Ratio) 18, the BTE (Brake Thermal Efficiency) levels of KME20 (Kapok Methyl ester 20) at CR 19 were 5.6% higher. When compared to greater CR, the KME20 blend's emission values for both UBHC (Unburnt Hydro Carbons) and CO (Carbon monoxide) are higher than their respective values. When the compression ratio was reduced to 19, the emissions from the blend KME20 were 9.1% and 9.6% lower than when the same fuel was used at the standard compression ratio. It's possible that this is because the oxidation process of the hydrocarbons is more efficient, in addition to the fact that the temperature in the cylinder is high enough to promote full combustion.

Wheat crop classification and prediction are important tasks for the optimization of crop yield and resource utilization. In this study, we propose an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model integrated with Genetic Algorithm (GA) to predict and classify the wheat crop images of different ages. The dataset of 19,300 images was used, and the model was trained and tested using various performance evaluation metrics. The results show that the proposed ANN+GA model achieved the highest accuracy of 99.29% during the training phase and 98.65% during the testing phase. The model was also compared with other state-of-the-art machine learning models, and the proposed model was found to be superior in terms of accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, precision, and F-measure. The graph of training and testing accurateness and loss values in contradiction ofindividual epoch demonstrating the speediness of model convergence. Our proposed model is feasible and robust, giving better classification and crop forecast outcomes for numerous wheat crop age groups with least resource necessities. These findings could be useful for farmers and agricultural researchers in improving crop yield and resource management.

TThe pollen loads from 137 honeycombs of Apis dorsata (Rock Bee) were examined. These honeycombs were collected from the Chimur forest area (Allizanza, Jamni Borgaon of Chandrapur District of Maharashtra State) during the period between May 13 and May 23, 2013. It was determined that 25 loads (18.24%) were unifloral, 23 loads (16.78%) were biforal, and 89 loads (64.96%) were multifloral. Unifloral pollen loads contained pollen from Terminalia sp. In fact, Terminalia sp. pollen was present in 111 loads (81.02%) of the total pollen samples examined. This study establishes that Terminalia sp. (Combretaceae) constitutes the primary source of pollen for honey bees during the summer, with Mangifera indica (Anacardeaceae), Citrus sp. (Rutaceae), Blumea sp. (Asteraceae), and Delonix regia (Caesalpineaceae) following as significant sources.

Rebon shrimp is a local food in Bagan Serdang Village that has a very high nutritional content. One hundred grams of dried rebon contains 2.306 mg of calcium or equal to 16 times the calcium of 100 grams of cow's milk. Calcium takes part in preventing demineralization by keeping the pH neutral. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of rebon shrimp crackers to increase salivary calcium ion among elementary school children. This type of research is an experimental study with pre and post test group design to obtain the average calcium ions in saliva before and one month after consuming rebon shrimp crackers. The minimum sample size were 40 samples, which 20 samples were included in the intervention group who were given each day one pack each for 30 days during school breaks and supervised by teachers, while 20 samples were included in the control group and were not given crackers. Saliva sampling was carried out using the unstimulated method. The concentration of salivary calcium ions before and after given the intervention was measured using paired t test and to analyze the difference in the concentration of salivary calcium ions between the two groups using an unpaired t test. There was a significant difference in the concentration of salivary calcium ions between the group given rebon shrimp crackers and the group that was not given rebon shrimp crackers (p=0.034). There was a significant increase in the concentration of salivary calcium ions before and after being given rebon shrimp crackers (p=0.000), whereas in the untreated group that was not given crackers there was no significant increase (p=0.496). It can be concluded that the risk of dental caries can be reduced by consuming local food ingredients that are high in calcium and minerals.
