Authors: Abdulkadir Abubakar , Umar Abubakar Arabo  , Umar Usman
Published: September 2024

This study examines the impact of microfinance institutions (MFIs) on entrepreneurship and business development in Nigeria, focusing on their role in providing financial services to small business owners and the economically disadvantaged. By facilitating access to microloans, savings, and financial education, MFIs contribute to economic growth, employment, and poverty reduction. Through a comprehensive literature review, the study highlights how concepts such as Financial Systems Theory, Social Capital Theory, and Institutional Theory explain the mechanisms through which MFIs influence entrepreneurial outcomes. The findings indicate that MFIs effectively complement the formal banking system by addressing gaps in financial access, particularly within the informal credit market. The study also provides policy recommendations aimed at enhancing legal frameworks and developing context-specific financial products to support sustainable business growth. Additionally, it discusses the implications and limitations of the research, emphasizing the need for future studies to explore the evolving role of digital financial services in improving MFI efficiency in Nigeria and across Africa, thereby contributing to broader economic development and poverty alleviation.

Authors: Shaban Naheed , Afza Talat , Ehsan Sadaf , Danish Rizwan Qaiser
Published: September 2024

Green dynamic capabilities are crucial for sustainable development and have gained substantial scholarly as well as practitioners’ attention. Given the escalating concerns about climate change, resource depletion, and environmental stress, companies must address ecological issues and promote green innovation. The literature emphasizes the role of environmental management practices, institutional pressures, and government regulations in driving green innovation. Despite this, there is a significant knowledge gap regarding the influence of GDCs on sustainable development through green innovation, especially with environmental regulations as a moderating factor in manufacturing firms. Effective use of GDCs can alleviate sustainability challenges such as pollution and resource depletion. This study aims to investigate the impact of GDCs on sustainable development via green innovation, moderated by environmental regulations, offering new insights into the interplay between green dynamic capabilities green innovation, and sustainable development within manufacturing firms in Pakistan.  Primary data through survey design was gathered from manufacturing firms publicly traded on Pakistan's stock exchange. After testing for assumptions, covariance-based structural equation modeling approach was used where measurement model and structural model were developed. The data validates the underlying factor structure, their loadings and then testing the proposed hypotheses for direct relation, mediation and moderation. The results indicate that green innovation mediates the impact of GDCs on sustainable development, with environmental regulations moderating the relationship between GDCs and green innovation. The findings present important implications for both theory and practice.

Published: September 2024

This research aims to find out and measure how physical exercise can increase malondialdehyde levels as a biomarker for oxidative stress. Several journal databases such as Embase, Pubmed, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Scopus were searched for this research. The criteria for this study included papers on oxidative stress, physical exercise, malondialdehyde, and those published within the previous 10 years. The only publications that were rejected for inclusion in this analysis were those published in disreputable journals. Using the Embase, Web of Science, Pubmed, Science Direct, and Scopus databases, a total of 3098 publications were found. From the systematic analysis, researchers collected 10 scientific articles that met the inclusion criteria. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta‑Analysis (PRISMA) were used in the development of standard operating procedures for the current investigation. The research results show that physical exercise can increase malondialdehyde levels as a biomarker for oxidative stress. However, this increase is a normal physiological response because it triggers and increases antioxidant levels as the body’s defense effort to ward off free radicals. We concluded that physical exercise increases malondialdehyde levels but is also followed by an increase in antioxidant levels as part of the body’s defense system.

Published: September 2024

Tumbes River is the main source of water for the city of the same name in northwest Peru. However, under current conditions it is negatively affected by activities such as artisanal mining in the upper part of the basin. It causes water pollution with heavy metals such as lead, which is potentially a cause of chronic diseases. On the other hand, ignimbrite is a volcanic rock extracted in the city of Arequipa. It is used as construction material and when it is cut into blocks, produces residual material that is normally discarded. This research aimed to produce and characterize adsorbent materials based on ignimbrite to directly remove Pb from the water of the Tumbes River. The ignimbrite was used in particle sizes of 150 µm and 250 µm, and the materials were activated by slow pyrolysis with and without the presence of ZnCl2. Then thermal treatment, the materials were impregnated with ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) using the in-situ impregnation technique. The thermal treatment manages to modify the structure of the materials, increasing their crystalline phase; however, apparently the concentration of ZnO NPs impregnated on the pyrolyzed ignimbrite samples was too low to be detected by X-ray diffraction. In the Pb adsorption kinetic tests using water samples directly from the Tumbes River, it is shown that adsorbents based on ignimbrite showed limited adsorption capacity compared to other adsorbents derived from rocks, obtaining adsorption values between 0.009 – 0.017 mg of Pb/g of the adsorbent. However, the final concentrations after the adsorption experiments were below the limit of 0.05 mg/l established by the WHO for drinking water. Despite this, it is important to conducted experiments using other types of ignimbrite and other types of modifications to corroborate the potential use of ignimbrite as an adsorbent.

Authors: Castillo-Carrillo Pedro Saul , Díaz Burga Walter Ciro , Cornejo Hidalgo Rosa Emelda
Published: September 2024

Crypticerya Cockerell, 1895 is a genus of Coccomorpha, its distribution occurs mainly in the New World including numerous pest species. The common name "channeled mealybugs" is due to the fact that the ovisacs, in the species that produce them, have longitudinal channels or grooves. In the present study, Crypticerya genistae (Hempel) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Monophlebidae) is reported for the Tumbes region for the first time. The specimens were collected from a young Charán tree Libidibia glabrata [formerly Caesalpinia paipai]: Family Fabaceae) located in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the Universidad Nacional de Tumbes, although it has also been found in a herbaceous plant of the genus Neptunia of the same family in green areas of the city and in the edible species Cajanus Cajan. C. genistae appears to prefer shrubs and herbaceous plants. The report for Tumbes is significant, since it extends the distribution range of this species, which would imply a change in its ecology and adaptive behavior. Its presence in crops such as C. cajan, a plant of nutritional importance, suggests a potential phytosanitary risk. for local agriculture. The identification of this species in urban areas and in different plant hosts highlights the need for pest monitoring and management in the region, particularly in agricultural and urban ecosystems. It is recommended to carry out more extensive monitoring studies in other areas of Tumbes to determine the real extent of the distribution of C. genistae and its impact on different ecosystems.

Published: September 2024

Human and weather factors are the biggest problems airline operators deal with because they increase the number of aircraft accident. Consequently, human factors and weather variables were used to determine the impact on aircraft fatalities per plane crash in Nigeria aviation. The information utilized was gathered from the Nigeria civil aviation authority’s accident reports for the period of 53-years between 1969 and 2022. Data were analyzed using Count Data approaches like Poisson, negative binomial, zero inflated Poisson and zero inflated negative binomial models.  The results revealed that the sample mean of the response variable was 0.57 while the sample variance was 1.072, which showed that the variance was greater than the mean number of fatalities per plane disaster. More than 60% of the data involved zero number of fatalities per crash. The pilots in the age group 18-30 years, the pilots having less than 5 years of experience and those who are newly employed were highly associated with the number of fatalities per plane crash. Among other weather factors, lightening, poor visibility, and heavy rainfall were found to be highly associated with plane crash. The findings of the study showed that a single effect of a factor can cause aircraft accident, therefore this study recommends more precautions and development of effective strategies to avoid estimated risk of human and weather factors on the number of plane accidents.

On yearly basis, the total value of all goods produced and services rendered in a country is referred to as GDP. It is an indicator of a nation’s standard of living and a measure of its economic status. The insecurity level cum poor economy of the country which has grossly affected the standard of living of Nigerians necessitated this study. We adopted a Modified Vector Autoregressive (MVAR) modelling approach based on the absolute values of the mean deviation to capture the relationship between the main effect and interaction effects of Agriculture, Trade and Industry on Nigeria’s GDP. Due to the non-stationarity of the process, the random walk transformation technique was considered. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test confirmed that the process is stationary after transformation. The diagnostic tests showed that the data were not highly correlated and no presence of heteroscedasticity. The study confirmed that the MVAR model gave a better fitting of Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product compared to the usual VAR model due to its lower AIC and BIC values.

Environmental Taxation and Well-Being in the Context of Globalisation and Sustainability
Authors: van Hulten M.J.
Published: September 2024

Environmental taxation exemplifies and emphasises the global dynamics of sustainability. Combining environmental taxation and well-being can contribute to broad aims of sustainability, such as the survival of humankind, protection of the biosphere and its biodiversity, social solidarity and justice and the preservation and development of our natural and cultural heritage. As a result of environmental market failures, hardly any market price reflects the true overall cost. Environmental taxation can provide suitable counters to such market failures. Global dynamics of sustainability clearly show in issues such as marine litter, air pollution, and climate change. Recognising the reality of 195 different states, environmental taxes would often be most effective if true international cooperation would be achieved. Unilateral environmental taxes may trigger relocation or dumping/burning abroad. The choice for, and design of, environmental taxes affects the distribution of environmental burdens and benefits, now and in the future. Critical scrutiny is needed, for example, if effects of environmental taxes are particularly felt in certain regions or parts of the population, or if such taxes unfairly affect competition. In this chapter, and in relation to environmental taxes and the global dynamics of sustainability, practices and possible strategies are assessed, and recommendations are made.

Організація транспортування зернових культур залізничним транспортом в Канаді
Authors: Грецька Наталя
Published: September 2024

Канада є одним з найбільших світових виробників зернових культур, таких як пшениця, ячмінь, кукурудза та ін. Сільському господарству Канади належить 12% світового виробництва пшениці. Переважна більшість канадської пшениці вирощується на території трьох провінцій: Саскачеван, Альберта та Манітоба. Канадські прерії ідеально підходять для вирощування пшениці завдяки рівнинній місцевості, родючому ґрунту та тривалому сонячному вегетаційному періоду. Землі цих провінцій – території так званих великих прерій. Вони розташовуються в середні Північноамериканського континенту і не мають прямого виходу до океанічних портів. Фермери великих прерій повністю залежать від ефективної і злагодженої роботи залізниць. Вирощену пшеницю та інші зернові необхідно доставити в порти на тихоокеанському та атлантичному узбережжі. У 2022 р. канадські фермери засіяли більше 10 млн. га  пшениці. Пшениця є однією з найкращих сільськогосподарських культур Канади. Вона вирощується на майже 50 тис. ферм по всій Канаді. Країна експортує пшеницю у  більш ніж 70 країн світу. Загальний річний урожай пшениці в Канаді приблизно в сім разів перевищує внутрішнє споживання. Основним засобом транспортування зернових культур в Канаді є залізничний транспорт. Він є стратегічною галуззю економіки країни. Фермери доставляють зернові до зернових елеваторів, де вони зберігаються, сортуються та обробляються перед подальшим транспортуванням. Ключова роль у перевезенні зернових належить двом залізничним компаніям Canadian Pacific Railway і Canadian National Railway. Завдяки розвитку інфраструктури та технологій, залізниці забезпечують швидке і ефективне транспортування зернових з ферм до місць призначення. Залізничний транспорт відіграє важливу роль у експорті канадських зернових культур на світові ринки через морські порти на Атлантичному і Тихоокеанському узбережжі. Метою статті є дослідження процесу  транспортування зернових культур залізничним транспортом в Канаді, а також вивчення особливостей державного регулювання цього процесу. У статті досліджено організацію логістики зернових культур залізничним транспортом в Канаді. Висвітлено історію надання субсидій урядом Канади з метою зниження вартості перевезення зернових залізничними компаніями. Проаналізовано законодавче поле Канади в царині регулювання транспортування зернових культур. Охарактеризовано механізм регулювання федеральним урядом Канади прибутків залізничних компаній від перевезення зернових культур. Запропоновано застосувати канадський досвід транспортування зернових культур у  практиці державного регулювання діяльності АТ «Укрзалізниця».
