The purpose of this study is to examine the interrelationship among foreign direct investment (FDI), exports, imports, and economic growth in Afghanistan during the period 2002–2023. To achieve this objective, annual time series data and the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) econometric model were employed. The estimation results indicate that the negative and statistically significant coefficient of the error correction term (-0.2694) reflects an adjustment speed of approximately 27 percent of short-term deviations in gross domestic product (GDP) toward long-term equilibrium in each perio

Expert endorsement seems a promising tool in countering vaccine hesitancy. Yet findings from an experiment in the United Kingdom, published in this journal, found that repeated expert‐backed “debunking” messages had little effect on vaccination intentions or behaviors. At the same time, a similar study in Italy had earlier observed a slight increase in the intent to vaccinate—despite actual uptake remaining unchanged. In this article, I reflect on the differences between these studies and argue for a situated public health approach: one that opens up on diversity and responds to local trust dy

This study examines the multifaceted nature of identity attitudes among university students within the context of modernization and social transformation. Drawing on sociological approaches developed by Erik Erikson, Henri Tajfel, Pierre Bourdieu, Stuart Hall, and Anthony Giddens, identity is conceptualized as a dynamic and socially constructed process shaped by multiple forms of belonging, such as ethnicity, nation, religion, politics, and gender. The university environment is considered a critical social space where these dimensions of identity are negotiated and reproduced. The relationship

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is associated with deficits in decision-making, which is of utmost importance for daily functioning. Despite evidence of declined decision-making abilities, research on decision-making interventions for MCI is scarce. As metacognition seems to play an important role in decision-making, the present study’s aim was to examine whether a metacognitive strategy training can improve MCI patients’ decision-making abilities. Older adults—patients of a day care center, diagnosed with amnestic MCI (n = 55) were randomly allocated in two groups, which were matched in gende
