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

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.

The university environment is considered a critical social space where these dimensions of identity are negotiated and reproduced. The relationship
