Agriculture is a Cause of Sub-Optimal Measurement in National Accounts Statistics

This paper examines the selected domain of agricultural statistics in India, and how it causes the sub-optimal measurements in national accounts statistics. The agriculture sector has a major role in GDP and also provides more than half of the total workforce their livelihood. Many of the state economies depend on agricultural-based activities. Hence, it is crucial to check the reliability of agricultural statistics and its correct measurement in national accounts for the correct valuation of the economy. The paper discusses the evolution of National Accounts Statistics in India and its embedment with the agriculture sector. The paper further discusses the statistics related to the land use and yield of crops and, - the method and sources used to collect this data. It also discusses the gap of checking the agricultural database and the challenges in the methodology used to estimate the sector contribution in national accounts

The rise (and rise) of vertical studentification: Exploring the drivers of studentification in Australia

The conditions for studentification are changing with increasing numbers of students living in high-rise – and high-quality – micro-apartment-style accommodation provided through purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) blocks. This ‘verticalisation’ of studentification is a global phenomenon, with Australia representing a frontier with distinctive geographies that result from its rapid ascension to the second-ranked global destination for international students. Yet, despite rising student numbers being recognised as positively impacting national and state economies, little is understood of how student accommodation development fits within the broader scheme of Australian urban revitalisation. To address this, we combine concepts relating to condo-ism and condo-isation to offer an original analytical framework that examines how PBSA has created new conditions through which vertical studentification can be produced in and of cities. We therefore ask how vertical studentification relates to wider Australian housing and urban development trends in ways that differentiate PBSA development and trajectories from other forms of accommodation. We also question how vertical studentification relates to the realities and regulation expressed as intra-urban geographies of Australian university cities and their resident-host communities. We argue that deliberately recognising and dovetailing several self-reinforcing and contradicting urban development dimensions invites a foundation for further interrogating vertical studentification in existing and emerging sites in Australia and beyond.

Kerugian Keuangan Negara atau Perekonomian Negara Dalam Menentukan Hukuman Mati Pada Tindak Pidana Korupsi

The difficulty of capital punishment for perpetrators of corruption, although there are several examples of corruption cases that have fulfilled certain elements of the conditions as Article 2 paragraph (2) of Law Number 20 of 2002 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes. To discuss this problem, the research method used is juridical normative relating to certain elements of the state and the amount of state financial losses or the state's economy in determining the death penalty. The results of the discussion included not explaining the specific elements of certain circumstances as a burden for corruptors. In addition, the amount of state financial losses or the country's economy is very important in determining the death penalty is not formulated in certain circumstances. Therefore, it is recommended that specific formulations of certain elements and the amount of state financial losses or state economies that reach billions of up to triulian rupiah be subject to the death penalty.

Malaysia’s eastern states will push for more autonomy

Subject Outlook for Sarawak and Sabah states. Significance The Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) alliance, which governs in Sarawak state, supports the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, which earlier this month displaced the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition from the federal government upon the appointment of Muhyiddin Yassin as prime minister. The Warisan party, which governs in Sabah state, had supported the PH in the federal parliament. Impacts Steep declines in global oil prices will have a negative impact on state economies in eastern Malaysia. The GPS will seek a greater role for the state-owned Petros in Sarawak’s oil and gas sector. Sarawak expanding control over its oil and gas sector would increase pressure on Sabah to do likewise.

Disgust and disgust-driven moral concerns predict support for restrictions on transgender bathroom access

Many U.S. states have proposed policies that restrict bathroom access to an individual’s birth sex. These policies have had widespread effects on safety for transgender and gender-nonconforming people, as well as on state economies. In this registered report, we assessed the role of disgust in support for policies that restrict transgender bathroom access. We found that sensitivity to pathogen disgust was positively associated with support for bathroom restrictions; sexual and injury disgust were unrelated. We also examined the role of disgust-driven moral concerns, known as purity concerns, as well as harm-related moral concerns in support for bathroom restrictions. While concerns about harm to cisgender and transgender people predicted support for bathroom restrictions, purity was a much stronger predictor. Also, purity partially mediated the link between pathogen disgust and support for bathroom restrictions, even after accounting for harm concerns. Findings and implications are discussed.
