Climate change has been a major existential threat to humanity, and much-debated predictions of its devastating consequences are becoming a reality. The various natural hazards and disasters are a cause of grave concern, and there is a need to study these hazards, their impact on the society, the nation’s economy, and various other vulnerabilities in the future. There is a huge gap in understanding the impact of climate change on the society, and it seems that we all are living in a state of denial. So, there is a strong need to combine all available data in one document to give a holistic view of actual problem. Therefore, this paper, will review the various likely vulnerabilities in front of India and how climate change will exacerbate the Natural hazards. It will also bring out the likely impacts of climate change on the India’s economy.Moreover, it’s evident from this review that India’s vulnerability to climate change and consequential hazards is greatly amplified because of its socioeconomic, demographic, and geographic characteristics and large population, which strain the existing infrastructure. Various findings based on review of data is also listed at the end to give the consolidated outcomings of the review, which highlight the major threats as heat waves, erratic precipitation, cyclones and floods. The paper will also highlight how developing countries like India are spearheading the drive to decrease the carbon footprint and prevent further impacts on the climate.
effect of coating drying conditions on bronze corrosion protection
Authors: Otmačić Ćurković Helena , Kapitanović Angela , Filipović Martina , Gorišek Petra
Published: February 2024

Waterborne coatings present a green alternative to solvent-borne coatings as only a small amount of organic solvent is released into the environment during drying. However, for waterborne coatings, the drying process is much more challenging due to the slow evaporation of water. In this work, the influence of drying temperature on the protective properties of a waterborne acrylic coating was studied. Its performance in corrosion protection of bronze substrates, representing the bronzes used for the sculptures placed outdoors, was examined. Corrosion properties were evaluated by linear polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy during three-week exposure to artificial acid rain solution. It was found that drying at ambient temperature resulted in modest corrosion protection, while drying at 55 °C ensured greater initial corrosion resistance, which gradually degraded during exposure to acid rain solution accompanied by the coating blistering. Drying of one-layer coating at 40 °C resulted in the formation of clearly visible corrosion products. If the coating was applied in three layers, the drying process was more efficient, leading to slightly higher polarization resistance values without visible corrosion at the bronze surface. Furthermore, the studied waterborne acrylic coating provided good corrosion protection of patinated bronze surfaces. Additionally, it was found that for efficient corrosion protection, it is preferable that the coating contains a corrosion inhibitor in order to avoid substrate corrosion during coating drying. When applied properly, studied coating does not alter the state of surfaces, both bare and patinated, which is important for its application in bronze cultural heritage protection.

Published: February 2024

Conventionally intensive tillage and sowing practices, and existing cereal crop-based system has been declining soil fertility resulting in poor grain yield and quality. In order to enhance system-based productivity and it becomes necessary to diversify cereal crop through legume-based cropping system with conservation technology-based tillage and crop sowing method. Hence, a study was carried out during 2018–2022 under Farmer First Project (FFP) at Morena district in Madhya Pradesh (Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh) to collate the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-based four cropping systems with rainy (kharif) season crops i.e. pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.], pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.], greengram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] and clusterbean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub] and two crop sowing methods, viz. conventionally tilled and permanent broad-bed furrow irrigation were used. Significantly greater improvements were recorded in grain yield of wheat-based cropping systems, net returns, wheat equivalent yield, system protein production, water productivity, net energy gains, energy productivity and soil physico-chemical properties, while saving cultivation cost, total water- use and energy input under permanent broad bed-furrow over conventional tillage and sowing method. Likewise, system-based wheat equivalent yield, system protein productivity, additional net returns, net energy gains, energy productivity and parameters of soil physico-chemical properties were significantly enhanced with pigeonpea-wheat as compared to pearl millet-wheat cropping system. The results of experiment had suggested that cropping system of wheat based can be made more productive and remunerative with the inclusion of legume crops in rainy season and sowing of crop with permanent broad-bed furrow irrigation method.

Published: February 2024

Brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stal 1854) is a destructive insect pest causing severe yield loss every year in rice (Oryza sativa L.) crop. An experiment was conducted during during kharif (rainy) seasons of 2021 and 2022 at the research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to study the effect of transplanting time and crop phenology on brown planthopper (BPH) incidence and spider population in rice. BPH and spider populations were recorded at different phenological stages in early, normal and late transplanted rice. Results showed that a significantly higher mean BPH population was observed in late transplanting in 2021 [54.00±5.31 per hill (nymphs and adults)] and 2022 (40.40±2.62 per hill) compared to normal and early tranplanting. Peak BPH population was observed at the heading (225.60±18.83 per hill) and milking stage (131.00±8.30 per hill) of late transplanted rice in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Likewise, more mean spider population was observed in late transplanting [1.87±0.11 per hill (adults) in 2021 and 2.38±0.08 per hill in 2022]. Two-way ANOVA showed a statistically significant interaction between transplanting time and crop phenology with regard to BPH incidence and spider population in both the years. The highest grain yield was recorded in early transplanted rice (36.08±0.75 q/ha; 35.06±0.49 q/ha) followed by normal (27.53±0.80 q/ha; 28.22±0.75 q/ha) and late transplanted rice crop (17.43±0.82 q/ha; 19.37±0.67 q/ha) respectively during two years. The early transplanted rice crop escaped the peak BPH incidence resulted in increased grain yield. The study demonstrated that both transplanting time and crop phenology influenced the BPH and spider populations.

Carbon Monoxide Pollution and Limited Health Service Access in Third-world Countries
Authors: Chong Celine
Published: February 2024

Despite its complexity, carbon monoxide is a key component of indoor and outdoor air pollution. While carbon monoxide arises from natural sources as well as human activities, the most detrimental exposure risks are within the domestic environment. In third-world countries like Guatemala, a notable positive correlation has been observed between severe respiratory diseases and the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air. This correlation can be attributed to these regions' housing conditions and daily lifestyle practices. Additionally, the limited healthcare services accessibility in third-world nations exacerbated the severity of domestic carbon monoxide poisoning cases. It is evident that effective healthcare interventions still need to be fully utilized in third-world countries, and thus, there is a need to move beyond identifying broad strategies and specific policies. Addressing the issues of carbon monoxide exposure and its impact on public health in these regions requires comprehensive approaches that take into account the challenges faced by these countries.

To access carbon monoxide concentration in the household, EsayLog USB has been used in this study. The study reviews the amount of carbon monoxide present in certain villages with different conditions and high carbon monoxide concentrations, especially near fires using combustible fuels and houses at high altitudes. The study found that third-world countries' decision-makers should educate communities, build the environment to provide better medical access to the public and implement appropriate regulations to deliver better quality health care to people.

Authors: Whan G. Kwon Ik- , Ho Kim Sung-
Published: February 2024

Survival of enterprise to some degree depends on how to manage transaction cost. It is more so in a highly competitive market with competitive products such as technology-based products. In economics, the theory of transaction costs is based on the assumption that people are influenced by competitive self-interest. Transaction cost economy which was developed by Williamson (1981) is based on uncertainty and unpredictability in the world. Asset specificity, organizations that enter into transactions find it expensive to leave them, inherent opportunistic behavior of individuals in an economic transaction making it harder for contractual agreements to be enforced fully after a long period of time. Although the transaction cost has been extensively discussed and used in supply chain management field, no economic theoretical arguments has been advanced as to how transaction cost help improving economic growth. This paper attempts to explain how transaction cost could add to economic growth.

“There has probably never been a more important time to be a music therapist”: Exploring how three music therapy practitioners working in adult mental health settings in the UK experienced the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Chandler George , Maclean Emma
Published: February 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has had ramifications the world over, affecting many aspects of life, including mental health and music therapy practices. Due to the recency of COVID-19, there have been few studies exploring its influence on music therapy practice. This study aimed to explore the experiences of three music therapists based in the UK working in adult mental health settings during this period, to provide an in depth understanding of how both they and their practice have been affected. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) served as the methodology for this study, underpinning the method. Three music therapists participated in semi-structured interviews. Through data analysis, six common themes were identified: “Music therapists experienced initial impacts on their own mental health”, “Music therapists are adaptable”, “Online music therapy is meaningful”, “There may be barriers to online provision for service users”, “Feelings differ between music therapists about adopting extra work” and “Music therapy is more relevant now than ever”. These themes depict various challenges and opportunities experienced by music therapists, which may have implications for music therapy practice during this pandemic, practice in general, and in the event of future pandemics. With increased mental health challenges in the adult population, music therapy provision in adult mental health settings can play a crucial role.

Authors: Brill April , Chheda Nirav , Strama Daniel , Soundarajan Ramesh
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a common diagnosis in the emergency department (ED). However, one must consider other causes for acid-base disturbances when the pattern is not consistent with typical presentation.Case Report: A 52-year-old female with a history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type 2 presented to the ED with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting for three days. Her diagnostic workup revealed diabetic ketoacidosis but with concurrent metabolic alkalosis. Standard treatment for DKA was initiated, and there was improvement of her mentation and resolution of metabolic derangements.Conclusion: Overlooking a diagnosis of DKA because of alkalosis on venous blood gas testing could lead to inappropriate treatment and, therefore, increased risk of morbidity and mortality in the affected patient.
Effects of ESG on Firm Performance and Firm Value: A Study of Indonesian and Malaysian Listed Companies
Authors: Rasyad Rafi Kennaufal , Afgani Kurnia Fajar , Ali Qaisar
Published: February 2024

The effect of ESG on firm value and financial performance of a company is a well-researched and controversial topic in academic research, as many authors conclude different results in their studies. Previous studies suggest that ESG has a positive effect on firm value or financial performance, while some studies suggest the opposite, while some studies also suggest that only specific factors within ESG such as environmental, social, and governance factors significantly affect firm value and financial performance of a company. To contribute to current literature in the field and to resolve the dispute in controversial results, this study aims to assess the significance of ESG on firm value and financial performance of Indonesian and/or Malaysian public-listed companies, to deduce whether ESG has positive or negative effect of firm value and financial performance, and to determine which individual factors of ESG has the most affect to the overall ESG score of each Indonesian and/or Malaysian public-listed companies. As there has been limited research on the topic in Indonesia and Malaysia, the author uses PLS-SEM to analyze the effects of ESG scores on firm value and financial performance of 10 Indonesian public-listed companies and 15 Malaysian public-listed companies using available financial and ESG scoring data from YahooFinance during the 3rd quarter of the 2022 year. The study done using PLS-SEM suggests that ESG has a significant positive effect on financial performance (proxied using ROA or Return of Assets) while ESG has no significant but positive effect on firm value (proxied using Tobin’s Q value). In addition, factor analysis of the PLS-SEM model shows that from three pillars of ESG, only social and governance scores have a correlation with the overall ESG score.

Derechos de las personas adultas mayores en México y Latinoamérica
Authors: Medina Alcázar Alma Cecilia
Published: February 2024

El envejecimiento poblacional representa grandes desafíos sociales, políticos, y desde luego, jurídicos, para los cuales la normatividad del estado mexicano parece no responder debidamente. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el marco normativo que protege a las personas adultas mayores en el país, tratando de identificar qué tan proteccionista está siendo; si responde a las necesidades actuales, y cómo se encuentra respecto a la normatividad análoga en otros países de Latinoamérica. Se hace un análisis sobre la Ley de los Derechos de la Personas Adultas Mayores en México, tomando como categorías de análisis los derechos reconocidos y las obligaciones establecidas. Se realizó un comparativo de esta ley con las del resto de los países Latinoamericanos, identificando semejanzas, y diferencias, que permitieron evidenciar la urgencia de reformar la Ley mexicana, a fin de que brinde una mayor protección y responda a las necesidades actuales de la población adulta mayor.
The Efficiency of Participation and Conventional Banking in Turkiye: A Stochastic Frontier Approach
Authors: HAMARAT Çağlar
Published: February 2024

The efficiency of conventional and participation banks in Türkiye between 2011 and 2016 is examined in this research using stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). The primary goals of this research are the analysis of the Turkish banking system's cost-effectiveness, a comparison of the efficacy of conventional and participation banks. The empirical research was based on a sample that included panel data for three participation banks and 23 commercial banks that had been in operation continuously. The one-step approach permits control of firm- and country-specific variables as well as Shariah-compliant banking directly in the estimated frontier, allowing any differences in technology and output that are caused by differences in the two banking systems' operational characteristics. According to the SFA statistics, participation banks are less efficient than regular banks overall. According to the findings, inflation and interest rates are statistically significant for the chosen external factors and negatively affect Turkish banks' cost-effectiveness, particularly between 2012 and 2014.
Dobbs v. Brown
Authors: Coan Andrew
Published: February 2024

In the ongoing debate over Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Or-ganization, Brown v. Board of Education has played an out-sized role. There are many threads to this discussion. This Essay will focus on three, none of which is as clear cut as the critics or defenders of Dobbs have supposed. The first is stare decisis, where the argument of the crit-ics is the weakest. The second is interpretive method, where the critics are on much stronger ground. The third is the parallel between liberal and progressive critiques of Dobbs and Herbert Wechsler’s famous “neutral principles” critique of Brown. This is an entirely appropriate basis for criticizing Dobbs, but the same critique applies to many deci-sions that critics of Dobbs admire. Ultimately, it is the outcome of Dobbs—and not the Court’s reasoning or method of interpretation—that most persuasively distinguishes it from Brown. The debate over Dobbs would be clearer and more productive if both sides kept this point more fully in view.
