Stock Returns And Inflation In Fiji
Authors: Janesh Sami
Published: August 2024

The relationship between stock returns and inflation has important implications for monetary policy and stock market investment and has attracted growing attention from scholars over recent years. Despite this, the empirical evidence so far has been inconclusive. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of inflation on stock returns in the developing stock market of Fiji. We examine the impact of inflation on stock market returns within the GARCH and EGARCH modelling framework using monthly data from 2000:02 to 2018:06 and find that inflation negatively affects stock market returns. Our results indicate the importance of ensuring price stability and suggest that stock market investment will not help hedge against inflation in Fiji. The results suggest that Fiji’s stock market is likely to react more negatively to inflation in response to countercyclical monetary policy and emphasize the significance of portfolio diversification.

Published: August 2024

In the era of increasing concerns over climate change and sustainable development, Carbon Management Accounting (CMA) research gains paramount attention. Previous studies focused on specific aspects of carbon accounting, leaving a gap in comprehensive exploration of CMA's holistic approach to sustainability challenges. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of CMA research and its implications for sustainability efforts. Bibliometric and network analyses, utilizing Harzing's Publish or Perish (PoP) and VOSviewer (VOS) software, 200 Scopus-indexed documents from 2013 to 2022 were examined. Performance analysis, citation analysis, journal analysis, and network analysis were employed to examine the field from research practice and system perspectives. From a practice-perspective, the analysis reveals CMA research as an "advancement," depicting progressive, impactful, and dynamism within the field. The system-perspective displays a “transformative” role characterized by prominence, synergy, and integration. Popular themes among researchers and countries include keywords like "carbon," "carbon accounting," "environmental policy," and "climate change." A significant gap between sustainability development and the carbon accounting model in CMA is identified, emphasizing the need for further integrated research. This study is pivotal for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, aiding sustainability efforts and addressing global climate change.

Authors: Chow Kah Yong  , Ervina Alfan  , Mohd Zulkhairi Mustapha
Published: August 2024

The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive systematic literature review (SLR) of the empirical studies on the impact of sustainability committee (SC) and SC’s characteristics on ESG issues. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method, 34 papers published between 2017 and 2023 were selected from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The majority of the existing literature explored this topic in a cross-country context, with a particular focus on stakeholder theory. It was further found that empirical studies extensively focused on the presence of SC in relation to ESG; while less emphasis was placed on the characteristics of SC. While SC size and independence are the most commonly studied characteristics, it is also essential for future studies to further examine how other SC characteristics, such as gender diversity, expertise, and education, can exert an influence on ESG matters. Notably, there is a significant methodological gap. In addition, limited studies adopt qualitative and/or mixed methods in examining this relationship. Finally, the paper provides future research opportunities related to SC and ESG issues and identifies gaps in knowledge.

Authors: Mohamad Yusman Ammeran  , Muhammad Safuan Abdul Latip
Published: August 2024

The digital transformation of SMEs encompasses more than the mere adoption of new technologies; it necessitates comprehensive changes in business processes, organizational structures, and corporate culture. This research leverages the technical, organizational, and environmental (TOE) framework to examine SME leaders' perspectives on the key elements driving digital transformation within their organizations, focusing specifically on organizational factors. Data were collected from 232 Malaysian SME leaders and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to ensure reliability and test the hypotheses. The findings indicate that digital strategy, technical capability, and managerial capability significantly influence SMEs' ability to digitalize their business processes. These conclusions are framed within the Malaysian context of SMEs, acknowledging that the industrial type of SME participants was not controlled for. The study suggests that SME leaders should formulate strategies to streamline digital transformation and invest in organizational and technological resources to enhance their digitalization efforts, thereby improving their capabilities and international competitiveness.

Authors: Fidelis F. Udahemuka  , Fred O. Walumbwa  , Ben Ngoye
Published: August 2024

In today's workplace, employees grapple with finding meaningful work amidst the complexities of a dynamic business landscape shaped by rapid technological advances, uncertainties, intensified customer demands, and the impacts of events like the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges induce emotional and physical strains, leading to a sense of anomie, resulting in reduced productivity, performance, job satisfaction, and heightened turnover intentions. Holistic leadership is crucial to addressing these issues, focusing on enhancing intrinsic motivation and cultivating a deeper sense of meaningful work. Based on self-determination theory and spiritual leadership framework, this study suggests positive correlations between spiritual leadership and employees' perception of meaningful work, with intrinsic motivation partially mediating the relationship and gender moderating it. Findings from 448 employees in Kenyan commercial banks reveal intrinsic motivation partially mediates, and gender moderates, the relationship between spiritual leadership and employees' perception of meaningful work. The study's implications and recommendations for future research are provided.

Authors: Claudya Wasti  , Gabriella Ellizabeth  , Muhammad Izdihar Adhyatma  , Amalia E. Maulana
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the influence of Virtual Influencers (VIs) on consumer behaviour and their implications for brands. The objective is to understand how consumers perceive and interact with VIs compared to traditional human influencers. Findings reveal that VIs offer unique advantages, including constant availability, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness, which can enhance brand engagement. However, concerns about authenticity, trustworthiness, and ethical implications persist. Utilizing anthropomorphism theory, the study demonstrates that brands can foster consumer connection and trust by imbuing VIs with human-like traits. Detailed analysis indicates that while VIs can effectively engage consumers, the perceived lack of authenticity poses a challenge. Nevertheless, when VIs are strategically integrated into marketing campaigns, they can significantly influence consumer behaviour and brand perception. Ultimately, these insights enable companies to develop targeted marketing strategies, leveraging VIs to shape consumer culture and brand narratives effectively. This research underscores the potential of VIs in modern marketing, providing a framework for brands to navigate the evolving digital landscape.

Published: August 2024

Community-based ecotourism (CBET) is one of the tourism segments used to protect the natural environment by the host communities in many countries; however, empirical studies involving active involvement, understanding, and level of satisfaction of the community and tourists in various ecotourism projects are still scarce in the context of developing countries. Thus, this study empirically examines the potential of community-based ecotourism in and around the Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary (BKWS) from the perspectives of the community and tourists in Odisha, India. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire prepared based on an expert view. In this study, both descriptive and exploratory research designs were considered the most appropriate. A total of 470 respondents participated in this study. Cronbach’s α was used to ensure reliability and validity of the instrument used for the survey. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 23.0. Collected data were tested for outliers using stem and leaf chart analysis, and all data were normally distributed for further analysis. Finally, a clear picture of the study was drawn based on the analysis and interpretation. The ANOVA (F-test) results demonstrated that community-based ecotourism was quite significant for inclusive development and conservation practices, as supported by all five statistically significant explanatory factors. The one-way ANOVA test for Hypothesis 1 found that community-based eco-tourism can be leveraged as a unique selling point (USP) to boost tourism in Odisha. Furthermore, one-way ANOVA was used to test the second hypothesis, which demonstrated that community-based ecotourism raises awareness within the local population about the importance of protecting Odisha's tourism resources. Similarly, the t-test results demonstrated that tourists and communities do not differ significantly in terms of satisfaction with event settings, art and craft, performance, infrastructure, guide services, and information. The findings of the study revealed that CBET was a major tool for promoting Odisha Tourism and creating awareness among the local community for the conservation of protected areas to embrace sustainability. Practical implications have been suggested for policy improvement in Odisha Tourism.

Authors: AlSalait AbdulBaqi , Al-Sabur Raheem
Published: August 2024

Although Iraq is considered the second-largest oil exporter in the OPEC, it is also considered one of the countries most affected by climate change. The Iraqi government seeks to find a balanced model between its exports of fossil fuels and its international commitments to environmental preservation. This study discusses Iraq's efforts at decarbonization in depth. The study showed that Iraqi efforts diversified by adopting an ambitious plan to generate 12,000 MW of solar energy units and reduce the carbon footprint through several pioneering projects, such as reducing 500,000 tons in the Flare Gas Recovery (FGR) project in Baghdad and reducing 1.8 million cubic meters of methane gas in Basra by adopting the Vapor Recovery Units (VRU) project. Additional efforts are being made to reduce methane emissions through the Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) Project in Basra as well. In addition, the study showed that Iraq adopted Model AM0019 for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations towards the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), specifically through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The carbon credits that Iraq seeks to adopt are based on three axes: Bi-lateral according to Verra and Global Standard (GS) and developing the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) with planning to achieve the requirements of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs). Finally, the study showed that Iraq seeks to achieve zero gas flare emissions by 2027. The current article is a paper of importance to researchers and investors alike in the field of decarbonization in Iraq.

Objective

The current study aims to investigate the correlations between qi stagnation, qi deficiency, and depression levels among college students.

Method

This study investigated 403 college students and measured their levels of depression, qi stagnation, and qi deficiency to analyze the relationship between these three variables. Pearson correlation and linear regression statistical techniques were utilized.

Results

(1) On average, college students reported mild depressive symptoms; (2) college students manifested low levels of qi stagnation and qi deficiency. (3) There exists a strong positive correlation between qi stagnation and qi deficiency; (4) a moderate positive correlation is present between depression and both qi stagnation and qi deficiency among college students. All these results support the mechanism by which qi stagnation and qi deficiency contribute to depression in traditional Chinese medicine theory.

Conclusion

Qi stagnation and qi deficiency are moderately associated with depression levels in college students. It is feasible to use traditional Chinese physical therapy for qi regulation to alleviate depressive symptoms among college students.

This study provides a review of the available techniques for peak power estimation of Li-ion batteries in battery management systems (BMS). While various methods for estimating the state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) of onboard batteries have been extensively discussed in previous research, the topic of state of power (SOP) estimation has yet to be comprehensively explored. Predicting the maximum power that can be applied to the battery through discharging or charging it during acceleration, regenerative braking, and hill climbing is undoubtedly one of the most challenging tasks for BMS. In Li-ion batteries, due to issues such as temperature and aging, efficient and reliable methods are required to estimate battery power. Accurate SOP estimation enables the BMS to more precisely regulate power flow in applications, optimize battery performance, and correspondingly increase its lifespan. To this end, scientific and technical literature sources were researched, and existing methods were reviewed. Finally, some opportunities and prospects were summarized to support the establishment of an accurate and robust multi-constraint-based SOP estimation technology in electric vehicle applications for intelligent BMS in the future.

Nanoparticles show mechanical, electrical, chemical and optical properties that are different and superior to bulk materials. In the present work, α-Alumina nanoparticles were synthesized using the nonorganic Sol-Gel method under controlled conditions. Because of the low cost of its raw materials, low manufacturing temperature and the high purity of the product, Sol-Gel method is the best in the manufacture of nanostructures like metal oxide nanoparticles. The precursor of the Sol-Gel process was aluminum nitrate with ethanol. The prepared nanopowder was evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron dispersive spectroscope (EDS) and Malvern Zetasize analyzer.

Nowadays, it is crucial to assess power system contingencies resulting from line outages or generator failures, as they might cause breaches of system constraints. This is a vital part of ensuring the security of modern power supplies. Another hindrance to providing electricity to consumers is the increased system losses and voltage fluctuations resulting from increased demand and diminished power generation capacity. The DG connection is a crucial subject regarding these harmful consequences. This study is focused on clarifying the effect of distribution generators (DG) on mitigating congestion in electrical power transmission lines, minimizing power losses, and enhancing the voltage profile of the Iraqi national grid system. An optimization method is used to identify the optimal size and position based on fitness indicators such as voltage, power losses, and line congestion. The PSO algorithm is executed as proposed. The outcomes illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique for estimating the optimal size and placement of distributed generators (DG). At the same time, it reduces congestion and improves the voltage level of the bus. The proposed technique was implemented using the MATLAB/R2018a programming language.
