Authors: Lodhi Rabia
Published: October 2024

Green practices play a key role in boosting the economic growth of a country. With the growing awareness and concern about environmental sustainability, the need of shifting towards a low-carbon economy and adoption of green practices has gained significant attention. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of various green practices on economic growth in Pakistan. For this purpose, green banking, renewable energy, and foreign direct investment have been taken as the independent variables while economic growth has been taken as the dependent variable in this study. A mixed yet predominantly positive relationship between the variables was revealed by a comprehensive review of existing literature. This study is based on a quantitative research method along with a deductive approach that is supported by hypotheses that are tested with the help of the data gathered. Forty- two listed commercial banks in Pakistan that are subject to State Bank of Pakistan regulation make up the population. It also includes five percent of the energy mix which is consumed within Pakistan and is considered renewable energy and the data was gathered from the official website of NEPRA. The sampling data for foreign direct investment is gathered from the official site of the World Bank from the year 1999 to 2022. The sampling technique that is used in this study to collect data is convenience sampling. The number of samples taken for each variable was twenty-three and the software used to analyze data was Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The green banking has a strong positive effect on economic growth meanwhile; the renewable energy and foreign direct investment both have a direct but an insignificant effect on economic growth in Pakistan. Finally, this study could be beneficial for future researchers in the aspect to focusing on green practices and their implementation.

Authors: Saqib Malik Tamur ul Hassan
Published: October 2024

This quantitative study investigated the impact of broken families on the behaviour of students at public sector universities of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJ&K). The study also compared the factors affecting the behaviour of broken family university students at AJ&K. A snowball sampling technique was employed to collect data from 200 undergraduate students from broken families, using a questionnaire that assessed five key domains: emotional behaviour, mental health, social problems, aggressive behaviour, and competitiveness. The study observed ethical considerations, such as obtaining informed consent and ensuring participant confidentiality. The results of this study provided valuable information about the behavioural changes students experienced following family breakups. Students from separated families exhibited more behavioural problems compared to those from divorced families. Similarly, students belonging to separated families and those not living with either parent experienced a greater impact on their behaviour than the students belonging to broken families due to death, separation, or divorce. The findings suggested psychological measures to address the behavioural issues of these students. This implies that universities should implement counselling services and encourage active participation in recreational and curricular activities to promote constructive behaviour among students from broken families.

Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Perspektifinden Küresel Gelir Dağılımı Eşitsizliğinde Güncel Eğilimler
Authors: Sanal Çevik Filiz
Published: October 2024

Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedef 10’un bir bileşeni olan küresel gelir eşitsizliği satın alma gücünün ötesinde daha adil ve barışçı küresel düzenin vazgeçilemez bir unsurudur. Küresel gelir eşitsizliği değişik ölçütlere bağlı ayrıntılı tanımları olmakla beraber en genel anlamda küresel gelirin büyük çoğunluğunun az sayıda bireyin elinde toplanmasını ifade eder. 1910-2000 yılları arasında oldukça yüksek seviyede nispeten istikrarlı seyreden küresel gelir eşitsizliği, Çin ve Hindistan başta olmak üzere bazı gelişmekte olan ülkelerde büyüme hızının gelişmiş ülkelerin büyüme hızını aşmasıyla düşme eğilimine girdi. Ancak küresel düzeydeki bu iyileşmeden her ülke ve birey eşit derecede yararlanamadı ve ülke içi eşitsizlikler arttı. Bölgesel çatışmaların yanı sıra ekonomik krizlere, salgınlara, iş gücünün artan mobilitesine, teknolojik gelişme ve dijitalleşmeye bağlı olarak iş gücü talebindeki değişikliklere uyum süreci birey, ülke ve bölge bazında gelir dağılımını farklı ölçülerde etkiledi. Daha adil gelir dağılımı için her ülkenin kendi yapısal özelliklerine göre uygulaması gereken politikalar farklılaşmakla beraber, gelir eşitsizliği bireysel çabalara bırakılmayacak kadar hassas bir konudur. Özellikle gelir seviyesi çok düşük olan Sahraaltı Afrika, Güney ve Güneydoğu Asya için itici güç oluşturması açısından daha fazla küresel çaba zorunludur. Gelir eşitsizliğini azaltmaya yönelik dağıtım sonrası müdahaleler gelirini arttırma imkânı bulamayan savunmasız kesim için elzemdir. Ancak yüksek dış borç ve bütçe açığı başta olmak üzere makroekonomik sorunlarla uğraşan az gelişmiş ülkelerde doğrudan gelir transferi imkânları sınırlıdır, üstelik sürekli gelir transferinin başka eşitsizlikleri de beraberinde getirme olasılığı yüksektir. Dolayısıyla dağıtım sonrası gelir müdahalelerinden ziyade dağıtım öncesi fırsat eşitliğine odaklanmak uzun vadeli kalıcı çözümdür. Yeni yatırım ve istihdam olanakları oluşturmakla beraber her bireyin iş gücü piyasasına eşit şartlarla katılımını sağlamak üzere etnik köken ve aile gelir düzeyinden bağımsız olarak eşit eğitim imkânına kavuşturulması sosyal adalet açısından daha makuldür. Özellikle beşerî sermayeye yatırım yapma imkânı bulamayan ailelerin çocukları için eğitimde fırsat eşitliğinin sağlanması, teknolojik gelişme ve dijitalleşmeye bağlı olarak yeni iş becerilerinin daha hızlı kazanılmasının zorunlu olduğu günümüzde uzun vadede gelir eşitsizliğinin azaltılmasına önemli katkılar sağlayacaktır.

Published: October 2024

Mellitus Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the global population. In Latin America, it has high prevalence rates and increasingly rising mortality. In Ecuador, 4,895 deaths from this condition were reported in 2017. Sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors (SGLT inhibitors) have been shown to be effective in treating diabetes mellitus. These inhibitors help reduce body weight and glycosylated hemoglobin, particularly in patients with good renal function. SGLT2 inhibitors, approved in recent years, block the renal reabsorption of glucose, promoting its excretion through urine. This reduces blood glucose levels and offers additional benefits such as renal protection and decreased cardiovascular risks. Methodology: Non-experimental, bibliographic review. Objective: Analyze the global benefits of SGLT2 transporter inhibitors in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results: The main SGLT2 inhibitors each have specific pharmacokinetic characteristics and therapeutic applications that can be leveraged when treating patients with this condition. Conclusions: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that requires timely and appropriate treatment with medications that provide clinical benefits to the patient. Considering SGLT2 inhibitors, a novel treatment approach can be offered to diabetic patients, which is generally well tolerated depending on the patient's condition

Published: October 2024

A escola desempenha um papel crucial na formação integral dos estudantes, abrangendo o conhecimento acadêmico e o desenvolvimento de habilidades emocionais e sociais. A avaliação diagnóstica emerge como uma ferramenta essencial nesse processo educacional, permitindo aos professores identificarem as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos alunos em áreas especificas. Neste sentido, este trabalho teve o objetivo de abordar a implementação da avaliação diagnóstica com alunos ingressantes no primeiro ano do Ensino Médio no Colégio Modelo Luís Eduardo Magalhães. A pesquisa teve um enfoque quantitativo e revelou deficiências em áreas como ondas eletromagnéticas, hereditariedade, puberdade e cinética química. Os resultados indicaram dificuldades significativas em Física e Química, possivelmente devido à concentração destes conteúdos apenas no 9º ano. Em Biologia, temas como hereditariedade, puberdade e células também apresentaram desempenhos abaixo do esperado. Esses achados refletem os desafios no ensino de Ciências da Natureza, especialmente nas escolas públicas, onde muitos alunos chegam desmotivados devido às técnicas de ensino e à falta de formação específica dos professores, levando à necessidade de professores de outras áreas assumirem disciplinas. A adoção de atividades diagnósticas surge como uma solução viável, permitindo que os educadores adaptem suas abordagens de ensino para atender às necessidades individuais dos alunos, concentrando-se nas lacunas de conhecimento identificadas para implementar estratégias de ensino mais direcionadas e eficazes.

Concrete is a very important construction material in construction so that the use of concrete is widely used. In the use of conventional concrete, there are many problems that arise, such as the use of so much cement that can affect the environment. In this study, the use of eggshell powder will be used to reduce the amount of cement in the proportion of the concrete constituent mixture as well as in the use of powder and can reduce the cost of using cement which is relatively expensive. In addition, chicken egg shell waste contains calcium carbonate where it is known that one of the constituent ingredients of Portland Cement (SP) is calcium carbonate. This study uses SNI 03-2834-2000, to calculate the proportion of the concrete mixture. Testing the compressive strength of this concrete using cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 150 mm (0.15 m) and a height of 300 mm (0.30 m) as many as 15 samples with the amount of chicken egg shell powder used at 0%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%. From the results of testing the average compressive strength at the age of 7 days and then converted to the age of 28 days, the average compressive strength at 0% eggshell percentage is 25.76 MPa, 1% is 22.80 MPa, 2% is 20.43 MPA, 3% is 20.13 MPa, 4% is 19.98 MPa. The greater the percentage of chicken egg shell powder, the compressive strength of the concrete decreases. For the cost of 0% concrete mix is Rp. 11,414.5, 1% is Rp.  11,342.5, 2% is Rp. 11,270.5 3% is, Rp. 11,198.5, 4% is Rp. 11,150.5 the cost of concrete using egg shell powder relatively cheaper.
