Authors: Anwar Fatima , Fatima Ambreen , Bokhari Nadia , Raza Asia , Shifa Nazish , Jabeen Rubina
Published: February 2025

Objective:
To compare the frequencies of adverse fetal outcomes in females with and without oligohydramnios in the third trimester.
Study Design:
Prospective Cohort Study.
Place and Duration of Study:
Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi, six months (Dec 2021 to June 2022).
Methodology:
Sample size calculation was done by open epi calculator, with a 95% confidence interval, 80% power of the study and 41.57% anticipated frequency of meconium-stained liquor in patients with amniotic fluid index (AFI) less than 5 cm and 13.48% frequency in females with a normal volume of AFI. The calculated sample size was 80 patients. Two groups of 40 patients each were made. One group (Group A) included females diagnosed with oligohydramnios while the other (Group B) included those without oligohydramnios.
Results:
The mean ages of the pregnant females were 28.2±5.0 years and 28.3±4.7 years in Group A and Group B respectively. The mean gestational age of Group A was 35.3±1weeks and 36.7±0.6 of Group B. In Group A, 17(42.5%) females were primigravida and 23(57.5%) were multigravida while in Group B, 22 (55%) were primigravida and 18 (45%) were multigravida. It was observed that adverse fetal outcomes such as abnormal Cardiac topography (CTG), presence of meconium, fetal distress and low birth weight were significantly more in Group A than Group B
Conclusion:
Oligohydramnios is significantly associated with adverse fetal outcomes. Once diagnosed, it needs careful evaluation and fetal surveillance in the antenatal and intrapartum periods to reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality.
Dynamism of Theories of Justice: Decoding John Rawls & Amartya Sen’s Theories
Authors: Rajput Shelal Lodhi
Published: February 2025

The concept of justice is somewhat complex and there are different facets that has been unraveled by different philosophers, scholars and other academicians. The aspect of social justice is always celebrated in the jurisprudential aspect as it is one of the core aspects that has a strong nexus with the legal facets particularly amongst other forms of justice. The philosophy of political, justice and social sciences is the core domain that is impliedly discussed by various academicians and scholars with respect to a just and fair society. In this paper, researcher critically evaluates the theory of justice by taking into account the two most famous theories proposed by two eminent personnel of their time. First one is of John Rawls in 1971 in which he beautifully enshrined the aspect of positive discrimination and distributive justice under the umbrella of social justice and second one is the work of Noble laureate, Amartya Sen. He provides a new notion on the idea of justice through his pathbreaking work on concept of justice which is also a critique of John Rawl’s Work-Theory of Justice.
In the present work, researcher has dealt the concept of justice in the light of proposed work on same by the highlighted personnel in different phase. This paper provides a critical analysis coupled with the litmus understanding of the substance of Rawl’s and Sen’s notion of justice with the conceptual, practical as well as analytical perspective of the concept of justice by examining the theories as per their evolution and relevance in the instant time.  The paper in toto presents the main concepts, appraisal, dominant criticisms and the current approach of researcher for understanding with a view to further decode that Sen’s contribution is a global framework for the discourse of social justice.
Reproductive Autonomy in a Globalized Context: The Supreme Court’s Impact on Abortion Laws in India
Authors: Bhattacharjya Arunav
Published: February 2025

In any democracy, for a vibrant and dynamic judiciary to perform, it is not always about doing justice but rather paving the way on how the justice is done, as per facts and circumstances and the dynamism of the society. In arriving at the same, the courts employ different tools/aids to interpret the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, in a way that it furthers both the purpose and text of the provision. Over the years, owing to the dynamic interpretation of the courts and various legislation actions, women in India has achieved a certain degree of protection and social status, nearly meeting the required international standards. The Indian Constitution as an empowering document consists of equality clauses. But mere existence of it as black letters of law serves no purpose to further the gender justice discourse. While gender justice remains an ongoing discourse in India, several special legislations exist to further the rights of women and in the process reducing gender disparities and inequalities. These include the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971, the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 to name a few. Even in the recent X v. Principal Secretary, the Supreme Court by virtue of purposive interpretation, brought ripple effects to feminist jurisprudence by extending abortion rights to unmarried women. This paper will thus seek to explore the evolving jurisprudence on abortion and the growing call for the liberalization of such rights, outline the concept of gender justice with reference to the role played by the Supreme Court of India to meet global legal standards of rights of women, and an analysis of the aforesaid case wherein the court dealt with the social stigma on unmarried women. The paper also seeks to delve into the philosophical discourse and ethical dilemmas women have to endure as regards their reproductive autonomy and its challenges in a multicultural society.
The Indian Constitution: A tumbler both half full and half empty
Authors: Garg Shrome
Published: February 2025

The Indian Constitution, a remarkable document that has withstood the test of time, is often debated in terms of its effectiveness in realizing its foundational objectives. At seventy-three years since its adoption, the Constitution continues to shape the nation’s democratic and legal framework, yet significant challenges persist. While its survival defied early predictions of failure, mere endurance is not the sole measure of a constitution’s success. The real test lies in its ability to uphold justice, liberty, and equality while adapting to the evolving socio-political landscape of India. This paper critically examines the extent to which the Constitution has achieved its intended goals and highlights areas where it has fallen short. It discusses social movements such as labor, Dalit, environmental, and women’s rights movements that have continuously shaped constitutional discourse, often exposing gaps in the system. The paper also explores structural issues, including the excessive length and complexity of the Constitution, ineffective implementation of Directive Principles of State Policy, outdated provisions inherited from colonial-era laws, and the need for reforms in reservations and economic policies.
A key concern raised is whether the Constitution truly reflects the will of the people or if it has become a tool for political maneuvering. The discussion extends to the need for clearer constitutional morality, a more participatory democracy, and a stronger alignment between fundamental rights and directive principles. Issues such as judicial review, religious and caste-based privileges, and evolving governance challenges are also analysed. The study concludes that while the Constitution remains a robust framework for governance, critical reforms are necessary to ensure its continued relevance in addressing modern socio-economic realities. India’s constitutional journey is thus a paradox—both a success and a work in progress.
Purview of Trade Dress Protection in India
Authors: Singh Anushka
Published: February 2025

The article explores the concept of trade dress protection in the context of India's evolving legal landscape. Trade dress, the overall visual appearance and aesthetic identity of a product, is gaining significance due to its role in brand identity and consumer recognition. This article examines the origins of trade dress, its importance in consumer protection, and the challenges it poses in the Indian legal framework, where explicit provisions for trade dress are limited. Through a comprehensive analysis of judicial precedents, the article highlights landmark cases that have contributed to the development of trade dress protection in India, focusing on aspects such as packaging, shape, color combinations, and product form. The objective of trade dress is to prevent confusion among consumers and protect the unique features that distinguish a product in the market. While India is catching up with international norms, there is a need for a more robust and coherent legal framework to safeguard trade dress. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of enhancing enforcement mechanisms and fostering a strong culture of trade dress protection to promote innovation, maintain fair competition, and instill consumer confidence in the marketplace.

Authors: Burbano Jorge Luis Argoty
Published: February 2025

This article analyzes the impact of public transport system routes, road and pedestrian infrastructure on the accessibility of commune 10 of San Juan de Pasto, Nariño, Colombia. Through a geospatial approach and using quantitative data from the Geographic Information System (GIS), critical areas were identified in terms of accessibility and urban connectivity. The study evaluated the road infrastructure according to its degree of intervention, classified the platforms by their width and analyzed the public transport routes according to their frequency and coverage. The results reveal that more than 75% of the areas evaluated present critical conditions in road infrastructure, while more than 90% of the areas do not have adequate platforms to guarantee pedestrian accessibility. In addition, it was determined that more than 52% of the commune lacks access to public transport routes with sufficient frequencies. These deficiencies show inequalities in mobility that significantly affect the quality of life of the inhabitants. It is concluded that it is urgent to implement public policies aimed at strategic planning, prioritizing investments in road and pedestrian infrastructure, and optimizing the frequency and coverage of public transport. This study provides key tools for decision-making, facilitating the design of strategies that promote equity, sustainability and connectivity in intermediate urban contexts.
A New Design Framework for Public Health-Ration Distribution by using Block chain Technology in India
Authors: Kanthe Dr. Ashok , More Dr. Ninad , Padiya Dr. Puja , Marathe Dr. Nilesh , Nair Prof. Pratap , Shaikh Dr. Hasib
Published: February 2025

Public Health Ration Distribution systems (PHRDS) are essential for ensuring food security for millions of people around the world. However, these systems are often plagued by challenges such as lack of transparency, corruption, and inefficiencies. These challenges can lead to food insecurity, limited coverage, and a lack of trust in the system. Block chain technology has the potential to address many of the challenges facing public ration distribution systems. Block chain is a distributed ledger technology that allows for the secure and transparent recording of transactions. In the context of the PDS, block chain could be used to create a tamper-proof record of the movement of subsidized commodities from the government to the end beneficiaries. The use of block chain technology would provide a number of benefits for the public ration distribution system. Increased transparency would make it much more difficult for individuals to divert or leak commodities. Enhanced accountability would help to reduce corruption. Improved efficiency would lead to faster distribution of subsidized commodities to beneficiaries. In addition to these benefits, the use of block chain technology could also help to build trust in the public ration distribution system. By providing a transparent and tamper-proof record of all transactions, block chain could help to ensure that subsidized commodities are reaching the people who need them most. The focus is on addressing the challenges faced by farmers in the procurement process of the Public Distribution System (PDS) in India. The proposed solution using block chain technology would involve creating a distributed ledger that would record all transactions related to the public ration distribution system. This ledger would be accessible to all stakeholders in the system, including the government, farmers, millers, transporters, and ration shop owners. This would create a tamper-proof record of the movement of commodities from the government to the end beneficiaries.
Histórica-conceptual de fundamentos éticos en la dinámica corporativa
Authors: Welsh-Moreno Samuel
Published: February 2025

La dimensión ética de la actividad empresarial se refiere a la responsabilidad de las empresas de actuar de manera cónsona y moralmente correcta en todas sus operaciones y decisiones, esto implica considerar no solo los aspectos económicos y financieros, sino todos de manera integral, lo cual resulta un desafío muchas veces. Por ello, el como objetivo fue analizar la histórica-conceptual de los fundamentos éticos en la dinámica corporativa, explorando cómo los principios éticos han evolucionado y cómo impactan en las decisiones empresariales actuales. La metodología utilizada está arropada por un paradigma cualitativo, de tipo descriptivo exploratorio, con un enfoque de revisión documental y entrevistas a expertos en ética empresarial y ejecutivos de diversas organizaciones. La revisión incluyó textos históricos, marcos regulatorios y antecedentes en el tópico gerencial sobre la implementación de la ética en las corporaciones. Las entrevistas a 3 informantes permitieron obtener una perspectiva directa sobre los desafíos actuales en la aplicación de principios éticos en el ámbito empresarial. Los hallazgos obtenidos indican que los fundamentos éticos han transitado por diversas etapas, desde una visión centrada en la responsabilidad social corporativa hasta una ética más compleja que incluye la sostenibilidad y los derechos humanos. Se encontró que, aunque muchas empresas han incorporado códigos de ética, existe una brecha significativa entre las políticas y su implementación real, lo que genera desafíos en la credibilidad y la confianza de los stakeholders. Además, la globalización y la IA ha traído consigo mayores exigencias, obligando a las corporaciones a adaptarse a marcos más estrictos de comportamiento ético. En las consideraciones finales, se deben reforzar los mecanismos de control y cumplimiento ético, promoviendo una cultura corporativa más coherente con los valores éticos, además un compromiso, sostenibilidad a largo plazo y entorno empresarial globalizado.
Equidad de los Test Psicológicos Desde una Perspectiva de Género: Análisis de Buenas Prácticas en Psicometría
Authors: Rivera Francisco
Published: February 2025

Resumen

Los test psicológicos son herramientas clave en la evaluación de características cognitivas, sociales, emocionales y comportamentales. En el estudio de las propiedades psicométricas de dichos test se abordan de forma frecuente las evidencias de fiabilidad y validez, pero el análisis de la equidad, específicamente desde una perspectiva de género, sigue siendo un reto. Este artículo analiza las prácticas habituales en el abordaje de género en la construcción y análisis de estos instrumentos. A través de una revisión sistemática de 20 estudios publicados en el año 2023 en revistas especializadas del campo de la evaluación psicológica, se identifican buenas prácticas psicométricas para abordar la equidad de género. Los resultados muestran que, aunque algunos estudios incluyen análisis de funcionamiento diferencial de ítems (Differential Item Functioning, DIF) y pruebas de invarianza factorial, son pocos los que desglosan resultados por género o implementan medidas adecuadas y sistemáticas para abordar la equidad. El artículo propone una serie de recomendaciones para garantizar la equidad de género en la psicometría, destacando la importancia de integrar análisis diferenciados por género en todas las etapas del desarrollo y validación de los test psicológicos. Se concluye que una mayor atención a la equidad de género es esencial para evitar sesgos que distorsionen los resultados y asegurar evaluaciones justas.

Background. Arterial hypertension (AH) is a complex, multifactorial disease that significantly contributes to cardiovascular diseases. It is particularly prevalent in the Aral Sea region, where both genetic and environmental factors play a crucial role. This study focuses on the molecular-genetic characteristics of AH in the population of this region.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted on 1020 patients aged 40-70 years, diagnosed with AH at the Ellikkala District Medical Association in the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Genetic analysis was performed on 407 AH patients to identify polymorphisms in key genes associated with hypertension.
Results. Three significant genetic polymorphisms were identified in the AH patients: the G1675A polymorphism in the AGTR2 gene, the G460T polymorphism in the ADD1 gene, and the C704T polymorphism in the AGT gene. These polymorphisms were found to be associated with AH development in the Aral Sea region population.
Conclusion. This is the first large-scale molecular-genetic study of AH in the Aral Sea region, revealing genetic markers that contribute to the high prevalence of AH in this area. These findings will help in the development of a genetic risk calculator for cardiovascular diseases specific to the region.
Lukácstól az ezoterikus marxizmusig
Authors: Szilágyi Botond
Published: February 2025

A Történelem és osztálytudat a marxizmus gazdag hagyományának több ágazatában alapvető referencia. Jelen tanulmány azt vizsgálja, hogyan és miért tölt be ilyen szerepet az ezoterikus marxizmus hagyományában, amelynek kortárs képviselői az értékkritikai iskola tagjai és Moishe Postone. A kérdés azért is jelentős, mert utóbbiak számára alapvető a hagyományos (Postone) vagy munkásmozgalmi (Kurz) marxizmus kritikája. Ez az elmarasztalás és tágabb kritikai elméletük azonban az árufetisizmus elméletében és a naturalizáció marxi kritikájában gyökerezik, a Történelem és osztálytudatban pedig Lukács – többek között – épp ezeket dolgozza ki és fejleszti tovább. Annak ellenére, hogy értékkritikai álláspontból Lukács gondolatmenete több ponton is bírálható, a tanulmány megkísérli bemutatni, hogy a Történelem és osztálytudat „ellen” mozgósítható kritikai gesztusok már jelen vannak Lukács munkájában, mi több: Lukács felvázolja azt a filozófiai problémahálót, amely lényegileg hozzátartozik az értékkritikai megközelítéshez.
A Történelem és osztálytudattól A felvilágosodás dialektikájáig
Authors: Weiss János
Published: February 2025

A dolgozat a Történelem és osztálytudat aktualitásáról szól; s ezt a témát első lépésben abban a formában konkretizálja, hogy hogyan hatott ez a könyv a Frankfurti Iskola alapvető művére, A felvilágosodás dialektikájára. A kapcsolódás és egyúttal az elhatárolódás centrális kérdésköre a dialektika-felfogás volt. Lukács könyvében a „dialektika forradalmi dialektika”; Adorno és Horkheimer viszont a „katasztrófa dialektikájáról” beszél. (A tanulmányban a dialektika-felfogásokat a szubjektív és az objektív aspektusok kidolgozásán keresztül mutatom be.) Második lépésben aztán a két könyvet mégis csak egymás mellé helyezem, azt a kérdést feltéve, hogy a két koncepció közül melyik az aktuális(abb): a forradalmi változásokra való várakozás vagy a katasztrófa észlelése. A dolgozat ezt a kérdést nyitva hagyja.
Lukács György és a marxizmus esztétikai fordulata
Authors: Marosán Bence Péter
Published: February 2025

Az emberi élet lényege a spontán kreatív örömteli alkotófolyamat – mindenekelőtt a művészi alkotás formájában. Ez az elképzelés sporadikusan, elszórva és elemeiben bár, de megtalálható Marx és Engels műveiben – mégpedig mindenekelőtt olyan korai írásaikban, mint a Gazdasági-filozófiai kéziratok és A német ideológia. Mindenesetre, a kutatók és a szélesebb filozófiai vagy érdeklődő, műértő közönség köreiben viták folynak arról, hogy az absztrakt elején idézett tétel mennyire kifejtetten és tudatosan volt jelen Marx és Engels gondolkodásában. E tétel kifejezetté, tudatossá és szisztematikusan is kifejtetté válását sok kutató leginkább a XX. századi neomarxizmus és Kritikai Elmélet idejére teszi, és ezen irányzatok szerzőihez köti. E tanulmányban azt az elképzelést szeretném képviselni, hogy a gondolat – mely szerint az ember lényege a művészi alkotótevékenység képessége, a művészetek értő befogadásának és a műalkotások kreatív előállításának tehetsége – Lukácsnál a Történelem és osztálytudat idején már biztosan jelen volt (pl. a Régi kultúra és új kultúra című 1919-es írásában); a korábbi, bizonyos fokig premarxistának tekinthető írások e gondolatot előkészítették, és Lukács egész életén keresztül ez az elképzelés volt munkásságának talán legfontosabb gondolata. Ezzel egyúttal elutasítom „a termékeny, nem dogmatikus fiatal Lukács” és „a terméketlen, dogmatikus, idős Lukács” szembeállítását, azt állítva, hogy Lu­kács életműve, mely középpontba az ember művészi alkotótehetségét állította, végig megőrzött egyfajta produktivitást, és az időskori nagy műveket, mint Az esztétikum sajátossága vagy A társadalmi lét ontológiájáról, hiba volna leértékelni a fiatalkori művekhez képest. Lukácsnak a marxizmus esztétikai fordulatában betöltött, kitüntetett szerepét némileg árnyalja, hogy Lukács barátja és „harcostársa”, Ernst Bloch szintén ebben az időben (1918) írja meg opus magnumát, Az utópia szellemét, melynek szintén a fentebb idézett gondolat az egyik alapvető megfontolása. Ezzel kapcsolatban Lukács korai, marxista fordulata előtti írásaiban a művészet ilyen marxista felfogásának irányába mutató motívumokat szeretném hangsúlyozni.

Climate Risk Proﬁles for a Climate-Resilient Agriculture on Selected Crops in the Cordillera Administrative Region
Authors: Kingan Madeline S. , Pablo Janet P. , Sebiano Ben P.
Published: February 2025

This research identified the climate change risks and responses along the rice, yellow corn, potato, and cabbage value chains and recommended Climate-Resilient Agriculture (CRA) options as prioritized by stakeholders. The key climate hazards affecting agriculture in the Cordillera Region are tropical cyclones or typhoons and drought. Lowland rice farming communities are vulnerable to flooding caused by heavy rains while highland vegetable and upland corn farming communities are vulnerable to soil erosion, landslides, and strong winds. Farmers’ mitigating measures against soil erosion, landslides, and flooding include cleaning the drainage canals. Farmers with no access to water resources delay planting or adjust their cropping calendar to ensure crop survival during prolonged drought. They utilize rain-water harvesting tanks or dig deep wells and use water pumps to draw water for crops. Other mitigation measures include: construction of crop shelters or greenhouses to protect crops from strong winds and heavy rains, employing organic farming to reduce the undesirable effects of conventional farming to human health and the environment, using botanical attractants in controlling pests, and integrating livestock and crops to maximize land use and ensure food security for the household. Cost and low awareness on climate change are the major barriers to the adoption of climate resilient technologies. Most farmers have limited financial capacity and not aware of technical information on climate change. High cost of production, absence of policies to stabilize market price, non-observance of quality standards and good production practices, lack of coordination among farmers and lenient enforcement of standards by the government are prevailing concerns of stakeholders. Government programs are continually designed for farmers, but, the process and requirements hinder some farmers from availing of the programs.
Green Journeys, Blue Planet: Reconnecting Humanity to Habitat through Travel Literature
Authors: Jakhar Sahdev
Published: February 2025

This research paper explores the transformative potential of travel literature to reconnect humankind with its natural and cultural habitats. Integrating ecocriticism with an analysis of classic and contemporary travel narratives, it studies how storytelling could cultivate ecological awareness, empathy and sense of responsibility to maintain the planet(s) for the long run. The study examines the historical development of vagrant writing, including books of reflection like Thoreau’s Walden and Carson’s Silent Spring, alongside contemporary narratives like Ghosh’s The Great Derangement and Lopez’s Arctic Dreams. These works point to the aesthetic beauty of natural landscapes, the delicate balance within ecosystems, and the pressing need to confront environmental crises.
Eco-sustainable principles and global standards set up by UNESCO and UNWTO had also been used to contribute throughout the paper at the intersection of travel literature and sustainability. Travel narratives promote sustainable practices by encouraging readers and policymakers to improve their practices. The interplay of native wisdom and its ethical narration in this process is being carefully
scrutinised as the paper positions literary works as valuable witness devices to the vanishing folk customs and to intensify cultural awareness.
Leveraging Data Lakes and Warehouses for Business Intelligence in Media and Telecom
Authors: - Mahesh Mokale
Published: February 2025

The media and telecommunications industries are undergoing a transformative evolution, driven by the convergence of technological advancements and shifting consumer behaviors. The rapid adoption of streaming services, 5G networks, and smart devices has led to an unprecedented surge in data generation. Each user interaction, from video streaming to mobile usage and network diagnostics, generates data that, when effectively harnessed, holds the potential to unlock significant business value. However, the sheer volume, complexity, and speed of data creation present formidable challenges for traditional data management systems. Data lakes and data warehouses have emerged as pivotal solutions for enabling robust Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities. A data lake serves as a vast reservoir capable of storing raw, unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data, offering businesses the flexibility to collect data from diverse sources without predefined schemas. In contrast, a data warehouse is a structured repository designed to store processed and organized data optimized for high-speed queries and analytical reporting. Together, these platforms create a holistic data ecosystem capable of supporting both exploratory and operational analytics. The successful integration of data lakes and warehouses empowers media and telecom companies to transition from reactive to proactive decision-making. By leveraging data-driven insights, these organizations can enhance customer experiences, optimize network performance, reduce operational costs, and unlock new revenue streams. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the strategic advantages of deploying data lakes and warehouses, outlines their integration methodologies, and examines their application in media and telecom business intelligence. Furthermore, it highlights the challenges faced in implementing these systems and offers insights into future trends that will shape the data management landscape in these industries.

This study focuses on the remediation of wastewater both grey and black water to be used in agricultural purposes in Pakistan, a country which is likely to suffer severe clean water shortage due to rapid growth of population caused by urbanization. It has become the need of time to remediate wastewater so that it can be used where applicable such as agriculture. Inadequate and unprocessed disposal of wastewater from homes and industries causes both health risks for humans as well as wildlife and environmental challenges. By conducting this study, we can observe the effectiveness of using macrophytes, specifically duckweed, in a bench-scale wastewater treatment model to reduce pollutants to concentrations allowable to be utilized in agriculture, in accordance with FAO directives. The study has been conducted in five experimental intervals with different Hydraulic Retention Times (HRTs) of 0, 3, 5, 7, and 10 days, measuring reductions in Electroconductivity (ECw), Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Dissolved Solids Concentration (TDS) and other key parameters. Recorded results and data showed drastic reductions across all characteristics, with TDS and ECw concentrations reduced by up to 35% and SAR by over 40% after 10 days of HR. The results suggest that 10-day hydraulic retention time with macrophytes especially Duckweed provides solution to various environmental challenges by carbon sequestration ultimately reducing the hazardous consequences of disposal of wastewater without any treatment. By implicating the methodologies conducted in this research, environmental policies and practices can be designed to overcome water shortage caused by use of freshwater or groundwater which is conventionally being used for irrigation purposes in Pakistan.

The debate on the economic benefits of adopting environmentally friendly practices continues. This study does not aim to resolve the argument; instead, it alleviates it by enhancing the notion of "when it is advantageous to be environmentally conscious". This research study focusses on the shortcomings of current literature review by focusing the influence of environmental sustainability on financial performance of Malaysian firms for the period of 2014-2023. The data is collected from Thomson Reuter DataStream. In general, environmental sustainability and financial performance holds an optimistic relationship. The empirical result shows that the outcome of environmental sustainability on financial performance is positive. Institutional and legitimacy criteria serve as an effective foundation for establishing environmental sustainability.  Policymakers and investors must consider these results when formulating economic policies and investment strategies, while enterprises in emerging nations such as Malaysia should recognize the potential implications of these elements and seek appropriate management strategies.
