Embedding Countries Governance in Assessing Companies' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Reporting: A Quantitative Analysis
Authors: Adrian Bancu Emil , Dascalu Cornelia
Published: January 2024

The United Nations Sustainable Development Summit in New York in September 2015 resulted in a tumultuous period for the companies in their quest to support the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The adoption of SDGs by all United Nations member states targets ending poverty and other deprivations, developing strategies to improve health and education, reducing inequality, and spurring economic growth while tackling climate change and working to preserve oceans and forests. This paper aims to assess the influence of countries' governance six dimensions (Voice and Accountability, Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism, Government Effectiveness, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law, and Control of Corruption) on European companies' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reporting from 2019 to 2021. To achieve this goal, quantitative research was conducted through linear parametric regressions. The econometric analysis is based on six regression equations, one for each countries' governance dimension, data being collected from Thomson Reuters, World Bank Governance Indicator, and International Monetary Fund databases. The sample includes 2542 companies headquartered in Europe, with 6644 panel data observations highlighted. The results show that the indicators regarding countries’ governance negatively influence companies' SDGs reporting. This study fills the gap in countries' governance research in relation to companies' SDGs reporting, which helps develop future research. Therefore, future research should address other methods of quantifying the score of companies' SDGs reporting. Furthermore, this research may be extended to all 193 United Nations member states to investigate the impact of SDGs reporting on country performance.

The axial compressor of a gas turbine engine is the main part that determines the characteristics of the engine (aerodynamic characteristics, geometry, weight, efficiency, reliability, etc.). The technological features of blades in axial compressors have a fundamental influence on the aerodynamicdynamic characteristics of engines and their reliability during operation. The strength characteristics of the compressor blade and rotor also have a basic effect on the reliability performance; then, the breakage of the compressor blade can lead to local destruction of the engine and cause disaster for the plant. Considering the operating conditions of compressor blades and their role in gas turbine engines, it is found that compressor blades are a decisive factor in the reliability and quality of engines. When the compressor blade is damaged, it is understood as a change in geometrical characteristics, weight, physical and chemical properties of the substrate and coating, etc., due to the influence during engine operation. For the outside of the blade, the leading edge of the blade is often eroded (changing the radius of the leading edge, reducing the length of the pitch); damage by foreign bodies (significant deformation of the profile); change the shape of the tips of the blades; excessive roughness of the surface of the blades. It is mainly caused by foreign objects such as dust particles in the air, contamination of the blades, and significantly increased surface roughness of the blades. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the exploitation of the engine and to solve the problem of causes and rules of erosion, pitting, and roughness. The article presents the results of studying the movement rules of dust particles in the clearance of the flow path of the axial compressor and the general characteristics of erosion, the change in shape of the compressor blade and other parameters and the characteristics of the gas turbine engine. This article presents a model to calculate the basic parameters of air flow and dust particles moving in the flow path of the compressor. Simulation can be performed using the ANSYS Fluent application, thereby comparing the assessment of the actual results with those of surveys. The results presented in the envelope are the basis for studying the negative effects of operating conditions on the engine, as well as proposing effective measures to protect the compressor blade from erosion and the methods of diagnostics of gas turbine engine.

With flexible voltage adjustment without an intermediate DC/DC converter, short-circuit protection, self-starting, high reliability, and three-phase current source rectifiers (CSRs) are being widely used in high-power medium-voltage applications and low-power low-voltage applications. Modulation methods significantly affect the performance of CSRs and can be categorized into offline modulation methods, such as selective harmonic elimination/compensation pulse width modulation (SHE/SHC-PWM), and online modulation methods, such as space vector pulse width modulation (SV-PWM) and carrier-based pulse width modulation (CB-PWM). The SHE/SHC-PWM is popular in high-power medium-voltage applications that do not require a fast dynamic response and have a low switching frequency. Online modulations considerably improve the dynamic response and performance of the CSR; however, high computational power, such as digital signal processors (DSPs), is required at higher switching frequencies, leading to greater system complexity and cost. In this paper, an offline method based on variable pulse density modulation (VPDM) of power switches to synthesize sinusoidal input currents and control power transfer with pulse width modulation (PWM) is proposed. The proposed modulation is applicable to the three-switch buck-type VIENNA rectifier, showing the capability of improving the input current total harmonic distortion (THD) with respect to the SHE-PWM and is comparable to online modulations at a sufficiently high switching frequency. The simulation and experimental results basically prove the feasibility of the proposed modulation.

Rhinacanthus nasutus, called “Kiến cò” in Vietnam, belonged to the family of Acanthaceae. All parts of R. nasutus are used in traditional medicine to cure eczema, herpes, tuberculosis, hepatitis, diabetes, and hypertension... Phytochemical studies on its chemical constituents have led to the identification of many types of secondary metabolites, including naphthoquinones, anthraquinones, lignans, flavonoids, phenolics, triterpenoids, and sterols, which have been found to have cytotoxic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiplatelet activities. In Vietnam, studies on the R. nasutus were very few and limited, chemical constituents and biological activity studies on this plant will help guide further applied studies and can use this plant more effectively. Dried R. nasutus leaves, collected at Lam Dong Province - Vietnam, was extracted in methanol, and the obtained extract was successively partitioned into n-hexane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), butanol (n-BuOH). By column chromatography method together with thin layer normal-phase chromatography on the ethyl acetate extract of its leaves, seven compounds were isolated, including umbelliferone (1), skimmin (2), sinensetin (3), kaempferol (4), quercetin (5), rutin (6) and daucosterol (7). Their chemical structures were elucidated by extensive NMR spectroscopic analysis and comparison with the literature data. Among them, skimmin (2), sinensetin (3), kaempferol (4), and quercetin (5) have been obtained in this plant for the first time.

Histone deacetylase enzymes are overexpressed in many types of hematologic malignancies (acute myelogenous leukemia, myelofibrosis, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and Hodgkin lymphoma) and their inhibition of HDACs could result in the inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis. Thus, HDAC inhibitors are candidates of anticancer drug development. Belinostat is a histone deacetylase inhibitor which was approved by the US FDA in 2014 for the treatment of refractory T-cell lymphoma and solid tumor. This paper reported the synthesis of two belinostat analogues (including a firstly synthesized compound) by introducing fluorine atoms at the hydrophobic capping group (CAP) of belinostat. The resulted compounds were then tested by molecular docking analysis and in vitro evaluation of their antioxidant and anti-cancer activities. The new compound 8a displayed the highest anti-cancer efficacy against human breast (MCF-7) and liver (Hep-G2) cancer cell lines with EC50 values of 1.5‒4.0 μg/mL. Two compounds showed the antioxidant activity with an EC50 value of 8.30‒13.60 μg/mL. These results suggested that the synthesized belinostat analogs might have anti-cancer potential for further investigation.

Mercury (Hg) is a toxic of global concern due to its bioaccumulation in the environment and the atmosphere which is an important environment in the biogeochemical cycle of Hg. IO-5 method (US-EPA) is the most common analysis method to measure the concentration of atmospheric Hg. However, few studies have been done in tropical monsoonal areas such as Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). This paper reported the investigation and optimization of the IO-5 method for WA-5F, NIC with the purpose of measuring the atmospheric Hg in Ho Chi Minh City as well as other tropical monsoon regions. The sampling temperature of gold trap, sampling flow rate and time, use of soda lime, passive Hg infection over time, and concentration repeatability were investigated. The results showed that the NIC gold trap was in good stability with recoveries (H%) always higher than 95% for temperatures of 30‒150oC. Because of the tropical climatology in HCM City, a heater for the gold trap was not necessary. The recoveries were > 95% for sampling rates of 0,3‒2,5 L/min. A sampling rate of 0,5 L/min for 12‒24 hours sampling periods as well as a soda lime trap to protect the gold trap during sampling were recommended. Testing the gold traps blank showed a negligible passive contamination after 30 days of storage, demonstrating the suitability of the procedure for long-term sampling campaigns. In addition, the average difference in the Hg concentration between two parallel samples was less than 10%, consistent with standards from the professional monitoring networks worldwide. In general, applying the IO-5 method in monitoring the atmospheric Hg in HCM City was suitable. Moreover, the obtained result offered a suitable method to collect the atmospheric Hg data in Vietnam as well as in Southeast Asia where the anthropogenic Hg monitoring data were limited.

The purpose of this is to evaluate the ability to recover nutrients (N, P) emitted from catfish farming by using an integrated ecological system towards zero emissions. An integrated system has been designed and implemented for a catfish pond with a water surface area of 10,300 m2. Wastewater is treated with water hyacinth, sludge is used for organic fertilizer production, and dead fish carcasses are used as raw material for liquid fertilizer production. The SFA (substance flow analysis) method was applied to evaluate the efficiency of nutrient source recovery in the system. The results show that the nutrient supply to fish ponds is mainly from fish food (about 30,450 kgN/ha/crop and 3,675 kgP/ha/crop). Harvested fish in the adult stage accumulate N and P content in fish biomass of 12,480 kgN ha/crop and 540 kgP/ha/crop respectively. Wastewater from fish ponds sent through aquatic ditches has an amount of 11,509 kgN/ha/crop and 2,978 kgP/ha/crop. The treatment efficiency of the aquatic pond reached 70%, and the amount of nutrients emitted into the environment through wastewater was 3,453 kgN/ha/crop and 893 kgP/ha/crop respectively. The efficiency of retaining nutrients after composting is about 70 - 80%, the product of this process is organic fertilizer containing N and P contents of 0.26% and 0.12% respectively.

Full dyke system has greatly benefited farmers in cultivating triple rice cropping during flooding seasons in the Mekong Delta. Although tripple rice cropping brings benefits, its full dyke system has changed flooding situation in the Mekong Delta and stopped sediments to enrich the rice fields. Long-term intensive rice cultivation leads to soil degradation, which is one of the causes of reduced rice yields and productivity. The study aims to evaluate the changes in triple rice yield and productivity under the effect of a flood control dyke system in An Giang province. Spatial data on flooding and land use derived from MODIS satellite imagery was analyzed and compared with data of flood extension from Radar satellite product, while land use data from MODIS was verified with cultivation rice data from Statistical Yearbooks issued by An Giang province from 2000 - 2020. The result of this study shows that the flooded area decreased by 65.92%, creating conditions for farmers to expand the triple rice cropping area by 46,61%. However, the area of triple rice cropping in the phase of 2011 - 2020 has reduced 13,90%. As a result, the production decreased by 9,82% in the proportion of rice in the whole year and a 0,83 ton/ha decreased in comparison with the period when the dyke system was still under construction (2000-2011). In addition, triple rice cropping was practised in the protected flood control dyke systems in the upstream districts has higher average yields than those in the downstream districts (5.60 tons/ha compared to 5.40 tons/ha). The research shows a positive correlation between the increase in the area of flood control dyke system and the yield and production of triple rice cropping. The research results provide insights for researchers and policymakers in the region to adapt appropriate plans to minimize flood risks and ensure livelihood stability for farmers in the flood control dyke system in the upstream area, e.g. An Giang province, of the Mekong delta.

Authors: Guo Xiaoying , Wu Biaoliang
Published: January 2024

Background: To explore the relationship between diabetes and coronary atherosclerosis at the genetic level by using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods: Diabetes and coronary atherosclerosis are the exposure factors and outcomes respectively. The study employed the inverse-variance weighted method (IVW), MR-Egger regression, weighted median method (WM), simple mode, and weighted mode for bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis, using the odds ratio (OR) to assess the causal relationship between diabetes and coronary atherosclerosis. Results: MR heterogeneity demonstrated heterogeneity in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for each nucleotide (all P values < 0.001). Therefore, the IVW random effects model was selected. The results showed that at the gene level, there was a correlation between an increased risk of diabetes and coronary atherosclerosis (OR=1.103). Additionally, there was a correlation between an increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis and diabetes (OR=1.108). No horizontal pleiotropy of instrumental variables was found (P=0.419, 0.808). The MR analysis results remained robust after sequentially excluding SNPs. Conclusion: Diabetes and coronary atherosclerosis are mutually predisposing risk factors for each other at the gene level in the European population.

Genetic and non-genetic factors were estimated for birth weight in the Tuli cattle breed of Zimbabwe. Performance records ( n = 1154) were obtained from the Livestock Identification Trust (LIT) for the period (2008–2014) for three farms; X ( n = 494), Z ( n = 143) and Y ( n = 517). We used the Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) for fitting the Sire model. The model used the farm, season, sex, year and dam age as fixed effects while the sire was fitted as a random variable. Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) was used to predict breeding values (BVs). The mean birth weight was (30.89±0.128). Wet season had higher birth (31.62±0.27) weight than dry season (30.62±0.144); however, the difference was not statistically significant. The other factors, farm, sex, year and dam age had a significant effect (P <0.05) on birth weight. Heritability and repeatability estimates were 0.44 and 0.35, respectively. Based on the results, the high heritability estimate for birth weight suggests that the trait responds well to selection. Sire breeding values ranged from -4.400 to 6.845 with the majority of sires between -2 and 2, showing that there was stabilising selection over the years to minimise both overweights and underweights.

Round herrings, myctophids, and cuttlefishes are a crucial part of the trophic interactions in the northern Benguela, as they form important trophic linkages between macrozooplankton and predators like hake, horse mackerel, and monk. The main objective of this study was to understand their trophic relationships using stable isotope measurements of their tissues. Tissues from round herring [Etrumeus whiteheadi], Myctophid species [Symbolophorus boops, Lampanyctodes hectoris, Diaphus hudsoni, Lampanyctus australis, Diaphus meadi], and cuttlefishes [Sepia australis and Sepia elegans] specimens were collected off Namibia. There were little variations in nitrogen stable isotopes (δ15N) values among these species, an indication that they fed at similar trophic positions. The trophic levels ranged from 2.51 to 3.00, an indication of their zooplanktivorous feeding habits. Among these species S. boops fed at a relatively higher trophic level, while L. hectoris fed at the lowest trophic level. Diaphus hudsoni had the lowest carbon stable isotope (δ13C) values and E. whiteheadi the highest. Significant differences were observed in δ13C values between most species, suggesting significant variations in their carbon sources. Isotope-based metrics showed overlapping trophic niches, with S. boops having a significantly broader niche. Our observations support the hypothesis that although these forage species have overlapping trophic niches, there are pronounced differences in the carbon sources of their prey.

This study determined the impact of Tebuthiuron application on plant biodiversity over a three-year period at Neudamm farm. A total of 40 (1m2) quadrats were randomly nested in three 250 m2 belt transects per each treatment to record the herbaceous plant density, species composition, dry matter and ground cover. Woody plant density, heights and canopy diameters were measured in each 250 m2 belt transects. A General Linear Model (GLM) procedure of SAS (2007) was used for analyses. The herbaceous biomass production was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in chemically treated site of 2015 (975 Kg DM ha-1) and least in the other two sites. The chemically treated site of 2016 had greater (P < 0.05) ground cover percentage than the other treatment sites. The canopy cover and woody plant densities in all woody height categories were higher (P < 0.05) in the control and chemically treated site of 2017, than the other two sites. The study concluded that the Tebuthiuron had impacted on the plant biodiversity of treated rangelands by improving the herbaceous plant species, biomass yields and reduced bush density. The study recommends that aftercare practices and application of arboricides be carried out routinely to allow herbaceous plants recovery.

The article is devoted to the study of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the economic development of local entrepreneurship in the conditions of institutional transformations. The article notes that local entrepreneurship is an important component of mobilizing institutional factors of recovery and progressive local economic development. At the same time, a necessary con- dition for the successful economic development of entrepreneurship is a favorable institutional environment, which should form appropriate rules (norms) designed to regulate the course of social processes at the local level. The article examines the theoretical foundations of the formation and functioning of the institutional environment for the economic development of entrepreneurship. In particular, it is noted that the institutional environment forms a set of institutional (a set of institutions) and institutional (personnel, financial and credit, information, material and technical) support, as well as a set of normative and legal acts. The article emphasizes that the main subjects that form the institutional environment of the economic development of entrepreneurship are the state authorities and local self-government bodies, which are authorized by society to exercise power functions. The main dynamic indicators characterizing the trends in the development of entrepreneurial activity in the relevant territory (on the example of the Poltava region) are highlighted separately. The article substantiates that in the context of institutional tools for ensuring the economic development of local entrepreneurship, industrial parks, co-working spaces and business incubators are of particular importance. The scientific work contains a generalization of the theoretical foundations of the creation and functioning of industrial parks in Ukraine, defines the main strategic goals of the development of industrial parks in accordance with the Strategy for the Development of Industrial Parks of Ukraine for 2023-2030. The article states that the prospect of strengthening cooperation between local business and local self-government bodies should be: establishment of system communication, implementation of business promotion tools, activation of work on attraction of internal and external investments, systematic information on investment opportunities, etc.

Мета. Дослідженнями передбачалося вивченнявпливу сумісного використання систем удобрення тапозакореневого підживлення рідкими органо-мінеральними добривами на формування асиміляційного апарату картоплі та фотосинтетичного потенціалу. Методи.Дослідження тривали з 2014 по 2017 рр. у Поліськомунаціональному університету на базі наукового дослідного поля. Варіанти удобрення: біологічний контроль,органічна система (гній 50 т/га), органо-мінеральна(50:50) та мінеральна (N50P40K70). Для позакореневогоудобрення використовували рідкі органо-мінеральнідобрива Мочевин К № 1, Мочевин К № 2, Органік Д2М та Гумат калію. Дослід закладений за загальноприйнятими методиками. Площу листкової поверхні картоплівизначали методом висічок. Позакореневу обробку картоплі рідкими органо-мінеральними добривами проводили двічі у фазу інтенсивного росту згідно рекомендацій. Результати. За 2014 рік площа листкової поверхнікартоплі у фазу повні сходи коливалася від 5,0 до5,09 залежно від систем удобрення. В період фази цвітіння площа листкової поверхні була найвищою за органо-мінеральної системи удобрення (50:50) та склала35,40 тис. м2/га. Протягом 2015 року площа асиміляційного апарату картоплі у фазу повні сходи зростала від4,98 до 5,08 тис. м2/га. У фазу цвітіння за органо-мінеральної системи удобрення (50:50) було отримано найвищу площу листкової поверхні картоплі, яка становила35,0 тис. м2/га. За органо-мінеральної та мінеральноїсистем удобрення використання РОМД Органік Д2М таГумат калію сприяло зростанню показників площі листкової поверхні від 35,5 до 35,7 тис. м2/га.За 2017 рік розвиток асиміляційного апарату картоплі був найнижчим. У фазу повні сходи він коливавсяв межах 4,8–5,0 тис. м2/га. Площа листкової поверхніу фазу цвітіння найвищою була за органо-мінеральної системи удобрення та становила 32,5 тис. м2/га.На формування найвищої площі листкової поверхнівплинули органо-мінеральна та мінеральна системиудобрення з позакореневим внесенням РОМД ОрганікД2М та Гумат калію, де вона зростала від 34,9 до35,3 тис. м2/га.Фотосинтетичний потенціал картоплі, в середньомуза роки досліджень, найвищим був за органо-мінеральної системи удобрення та становив 916 тис. м2/га *діб,а накладання препаратів Органік Д2М та Гумат каліюна дану систему сприяли його зростанню від 1032 до1038 тис. м2/га *діб.Висновки. Формування листкової поверхні картопліі фотосинтетичного потенціалу залежало як від системудобрення, так і від застосування рідких органо-мінеральних добрив. Площа листкової поверхні (у фазисходи та цвітіння) і фотосинтетичного потенціалу найвищою була за умов 2014 р. Інші роки (2015–2017) булипосушливими, тому розвиток асиміляційного апаратубув уповільнений.
