The Role of Religion as an Informal Institution in Shaping Corporate Environmental Responsibility: A SWOT Analysis of Publicly Listed Companies in Religiously Diverse Regions
Authors: Chen Shifeng
Published: January 2025

This study examines the influence of religion on corporate environmental decision-making, particularly focusing on publicly listed companies in regions with varying religious contexts. The core issue addressed is how religion, as an informal system, can affect corporate behaviour in terms of environmental responsibility, especially in contexts where formal institutions or regulations are insufficient. To address this issue, the SWOT analysis method is employed. The problem is discussed from four perspectives: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The findings indicate a positive correlation between the intensity of regional religious influence and corporate environmental responsibility. Companies in regions with a strong religious presence are more likely to disclose environmental information, invest in sustainable practices and reduce pollution, particularly in high-pollution industries. Additionally, religion was found to foster higher corporate social responsibility (CSR) through its ability to shape managers ethical values. Based on these findings, the study suggests that companies should integrate religious or cultural values into their CSR strategies to enhance environmental management. Governments, on the other hand, could collaborate with religious organisations to supplement formal environmental policies, particularly in areas where regulatory enforcement is weak, thereby improving corporate adherence to environmental responsibility.

Authors: Liu Anjian
Published: January 2025

The steady rise in youth unemployment has become a major socio-economic challenge for countries worldwide. In particular, the issue of youth employment has become increasingly salient in the context of heightened economic turbulence and technological transformation. Various countries and regions have introduced a range of policy measures to address this problem, including skills training, business support, and wage subsidies. However, the efficacy of these policies exhibits considerable variability contingent on discrepancies in economic conditions, labor market structures, and policy design. Thus, the paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of policies to promote youth employment. In particular, through literature analysis and case studies, youth employment policies such as skills training, enterprise support and wage subsidies in different regions of the world are analyzed. The research data mainly come from relevant surveys and evaluation reports issued by the International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Bank, and countries such as France and India. The results indicate that multidimensional and integrated policy initiatives are more effective in low-income countries, particularly those that integrate skills training with entrepreneurship support. In addition, policies to reduce labor costs have shown significant results in increasing youth employment rates. This paper argues that future policy design should pay more attention to implementation details and cost-effectiveness, while providing more inclusive support for women and low-skilled youth groups to improve the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of policies.

Advanced Monte Carlo Simulation Techniques for Pricing Asian Call Options in Crude Oil Futures: An Analytical and Sensitivity-Based Approach
Authors: Lu Chencheng
Published: January 2025

This study develops a robust Monte Carlo simulation-based model to price Asian call options in the context of crude oil futures, addressing their path-dependent nature and complex payoff structures. The model is enhanced using variance reduction techniques, specifically antithetic variates and control variates, to improve accuracy and computational efficiency. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to assess the impact of key parameters, such as the futures price and volatility, on the options value. Results show that while the underlying futures price significantly influences the options price, volatility has a minimal effect due to the averaging feature of Asian options. The findings highlight the practical implications for risk management and the importance of accurate pricing models in financial markets. Limitations are acknowledged, and future research directions are suggested to improve the model further.

Published: January 2025

Lockdown policies have emerged as crucial tools in curbing transmission and preventing overwhelming healthcare systems since the early stage of COVID-19. To understand the effectiveness of lockdown policies and interaction with other factors, this study examines the Chinese experience and investigates the impact of various types of lockdown policies on COVID-19 transmission. We employ a time-varying Difference-in-differences approach and a Triple-Difference approach to analyze how lockdown policies and corruption influence the spread of the virus in Chinese prefectural-level cities. The results demonstrate that mobility and business control policies are effective, with mobility restriction showing a more efficient outcome. Furthermore, severe corruption undermines the effectiveness of mobility control measures. The study's insights into the effectiveness of lockdown policies and the influence of corruption can inform decision-making processes and facilitate the development of strategies to combat current and future pandemics.

Research on the Design and Application of 6G Communication Network Architecture Based on Quantum Key Encryption
Authors: Wang Yuan
Published: January 2025

With the rapid development of 6G technology, peoples lives are becoming increasingly convenient. Simultaneously, great emphasis must be placed on the security demands of this communication technology. We propose two encryption methods for 6G communication security based on different encryption scenarios: a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)-Secured 6G fronthaul communication architecture for high-security scenarios and a QKD-Secured 6G fronthaul communication architecture for low-security scenarios. For high-security scenarios, the QKD-Secured 6G fronthaul communication architecture utilizes multiple quantum transmitters and corresponding quantum receivers to generate multiple quantum keys simultaneously, significantly enhancing security requirements for high communication rates. However, due to its high cost, this setup is not always practical. In most applications, we adopt a QKD-Secured 6G fronthaul communication architecture for low-security scenarios. In this approach, a single quantum transmitter corresponds to multiple quantum receivers, which, while potentially reducing the quantum key generation speed, significantly lowers costs. We address the reduced key rate by adjusting the information load on each key pair. The proposed architecture largely satisfies the security requirements of 6G, broadening its application scenarios. As a crucial technology for communication security, QKD offers high security, strong resistance to attacks, and flexibility. With its continued development and adoption, QKD is expected to play an increasingly significant role in future communication networks.

Authors: Zhao Songhao
Published: January 2025

In light of the advancements in artificial intelligence, there is an increasing emphasis on enhancing the adaptive and collaborative capabilities of the system through research. The theory of swarm intelligence provides a new approach to achieving decentralized optimization and collaboration through the simulation of natural phenomena, such as the flight of a flock of birds and the swimming of a school of fish. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, as a typical representative of swarm intelligence, has attracted much attention because of its computational simplicity and fast convergence speed, and has demonstrated unique advantages in solving complex optimization problems. Thus, the paper explores the application of group behavior in artificial intelligence systems and verifies the effectiveness of PSO algorithms in improving system efficiency, robustness and scalability through empirical studies. Based on the phenomenon of cooperative motion in nature, the PSO algorithm provides a decentralized optimization approach that enables multiple individuals to work together to solve complex problems through simple interactions. In this paper, robot populations with PSO algorithm and independent control are compared through simulation experiments, and the results show that the PSO algorithm significantly improves the performance of robots in path planning and goal coordination, and exhibits higher efficiency and robustness. In addition, the paper discusses the potential challenges and improvement directions of the PSO algorithm in practical applications, and emphasizes the importance of algorithm parameter optimization and synergy effect of multi-intelligent body systems. The results provide empirical support for future applications of group intelligence in AI systems and promote the development of the field.

Heidegger a gazdasági világválság idején
Authors: Schwendtner Tibor
Published: January 2025

1929–32 táján – a nagy gazdasági világválság és a nácik németországi előretörése idején – Heidegger életében és filozófiájában is komoly fordulat zajlott le. Az addig apolitikusnak tűnő filozófus érdeklődése Hitler és a nácik felé fordult. Heidegger filozófiájában ugyanakkor nem jelent meg feltűnően a politikai irányváltás. Figyelmesen olvasva e szövegeket, mégis láthatóvá válik, hogy Heidegger új politikai szimpátiái és a filozófiai útkeresése között kapcsolat van. Heidegger természetesen nem dolgozott ki náci filozófiát, inkább arról van szó, hogy a filozófia pozícióját történelmi szintre helyezte. Történelmivé és hatalmivá tette azt a látómezőt, ahová a filozófiai szerinte felemelkedhet. Heidegger a történelmi szinten megvalósítandó metafizikai cselekvés pozíciójából építette ki szellemi horizontját, szerinte a metafizika világ- és történelemformáló hatalomként léphet fel Németországban.

A flood is a flood of water that floods dry land and can be sudden or gradual. resulting in loss of life and human property and economic damage through the cessation of all livelihoods, the sinking of most agricultural land, and other damage. The ArcMap app was used within the Arc GIS 10.8 system to address and predict flood risks, assess hydrological characteristics, determine natural flow, and basic watershed procedures. Topographic analysis was carried out to determine the topography of the study area. The study revealed that the Manaqil plateau, which is the area through which the Megher Shawwal contour and its drain pass, which are more than two hundred kilometers long. The capacity of the Shawwal drain did not absorb the amount of heavy rainfall that year, which led to flooding in the agricultural lands and villages surrounding the plateau due to its very low terrain. A set of solutions was proposed, including the work of programming irrigation water, taking advantage of rain by conducting water harvesting projects and preventing floods, and studying the design of a drainage system for flood-affected areas.

Authors: Ferreira Emerson Benedito , Reinol Danilo Augusto , Silva Ayodele Floriano , Alves Lucas Gabriel Ferreira
Published: January 2025

Após a abolição, a exploração do trabalho infantil tornou-se uma prática recorrente entre a elite brasileira. Em Ribeirão Preto, antigos senhores de escravizados, com respaldo do sistema judicial, passaram a empregar os filhos de seus ex-escravizados e também crianças brancas de famílias pobres. Em troca, ofereciam vestimentas, assistência médica, acesso à educação e uma modesta remuneração. Essas crianças, antes percebidas como ingênuas ou vulneráveis, passaram a ser classificadas pelo sistema como órfãs desprotegidas. Por meio de contratos de soldada ou acordos de tutela, muitas foram direcionadas a trabalhos domésticos ou agrícolas. Esse cenário destacou a atenção para crianças e adolescentes pobres e em situação de abandono, já que a ideia de empregá-los para afastá-los da marginalização alinhava-se ao discurso de escassez de mão de obra e às novas concepções de trabalho no contexto pós-abolição e imigração. Entre essas crianças, destacam-se Maria e Antônio cujas vidas serão exploradas por meio de uma metodologia documental, qualitativa e arquegenealógica, revelando fragmentos de suas existências. Seus protagonismos serão os objetivos centrais deste estudo.

Published: January 2025

Este artigo faz uma análise sobre a violência contra a mulher apontando os desdobramentos da legislação em torno desse tipo de violência de gênero que está em ascendência no Brasil. Utilizou-se o método dedutivo, bem como dogmático jurídico, analisando-se dados já comprovados e afirmados pela doutrina e aplicados pela jurisprudência. Ademais, utilizar-se-á a pesquisa bibliográfica crítica, sendo selecionados materiais atuais e fidedignos, e apenas colhidas informações de fontes detidos do alto índice de credibilidade. Verificou-se que As Leis Maria da Penha e do feminicídio são complementares. A lei inova Maria da Penha inova em alguns aspectos, como a prisão em flagrante do agressor e as medidas protetivas e ação integrada dos poderes públicos, visando a preservar a integridade física e psicológica da vítima. Já a Lei do Feminicídio age de forma mais efetiva na punição. Conclui-se que Apesar de tipificado na legislação vigente o feminicídio ainda ocorre de forma bem acentuada em sociedade, e a criminalização tem sido recorrente apesar de ainda ocorrer casos de violência, sendo os agressores punidos e a adoção de medidas protetivas a vítima para que novos fatos não ocorram, de forma a possibilitar mais prevenção através de políticas públicas de inclusão social.
Зарубіжний досвід правового регулювання застосування адміністративних договорів у діяльності місцевих органів публічної адміністрації
Authors: Писаренко О. В.
Published: January 2025

У науковій статті авторка провела наукове дослідження зарубіжного досвіду правового регулювання застосування адміністративних договорів у діяльності місцевих органів публічної адміністрації. Автори вказують, що французька модель застосування адміністративних договорів органами публічної адміністрації, в тому числі й місцевими, передбачає достатньо широке їх застосування у сферах, де відповідний орган або створена ним юридична особа публічного права здійснює організацію надання послуг з перевезення, зв’язку, комунальних послуг, здійснює передачу (делегування) окремих публічних послуг приватним особам або розпорядження публічним майном. При цьому, встановлюються окремі особливості для таких договорів: право органу публічної адміністрації здійснювати контроль за виконанням договору, його змінити або розірвати в односторонньому порядку тощо). В той же час, французька модель застосування адміністративного договору місцевими органами публічної адміністрації не поширюється на випадки використання адміністративних договорів у адміністративно-процедурних правовідносинах замість адміністративних актів. З іншого боку, за німецьким законодавством адміністративний договір укладається органом публічної адміністрації з приватною особою (фізичною чи юридичною) як альтернатива виданню адміністративного акту за наслідками відповідного адміністративно-сервісного провадження («публічно-правовий договір»), а також: для усунення невизначеності щодо прав та обов’язків сторін адміністративно-правових відносин на основі компромісу («адміністративна мирова угода»); у сфері державно-приватного партнерства («контракт про зустрічні дії»). Французька модель була сприйнята переважно державами Південної Європи, німецька – Центральної Європи, в тому числі за законодавством Республіки Молдова.

The Earth's surface temperature is steadily increasing due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases, a phenomenon known as global warming. Human activities are the root cause of this significant global issue. Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is one of the most critical actions in climate change mitigation. Organizations can engage in activities that promote change and reduce greenhouse gases by acknowledging the significance of addressing climate change. By reducing GHG emissions and promoting the use of renewable energy, organizations can begin to address environmental issues. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation is to assess the reduction of GHG emissions in an educational institution by substituting electricity consumption from the electrical grid with renewable energy in the form of a solar PV rooftop on-grid system. The School of Renewable Energy's GHG emissions were assessed, covering three scopes of GHG emissions activities: direct emissions, indirect emissions, and other indirect emissions. The organization's activity data were collected over a 12-month period. Without installing a solar panel system, the organization reported total GHG emissions of 310.40 tCO2e, relying solely on imported electricity for internal use. The highest GHG emissions were from Scope 2, amounting to 239.38 tCO2e, primarily due to electricity importation. Scope 3 had the second highest GHG emissions, totaling 65.76 tCO2e, resulting from employee commuting and the use of purchased goods such as paper and tap water. Scope 1 had the lowest GHG emissions at 5.26 tCO2e, produced by the combustion of diesel and gasoline in both stationary and mobile sources, as well as CH4 emissions from the septic tank. The percentage of GHG emissions from Scope 2 activities was 77.12%, which was considered to have a significant environmental impact and contribute to global warming. This was because 478,851 kWh of electricity were imported. The installation of on-grid solar cells for power generation reduced imported electricity to 113,120 kWh. Consequently, GHG emissions from Scope 2 decreased to 56.55 tCO2e, leading to an overall reduction in the organization's GHG emissions to 127.57 tCO2e. The organization's GHG emissions decreased by 182.83 tCO2e as a result of using alternative energy to generate electricity. This assessment can serve as a database for educational institutions and prepare the government to report greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, it can serve as carbon credits for trading and exchanging carbon with other organizations to offset GHG emissions from various activities. In addition, it endorses the government's goal of achieving carbon neutrality and net zero emissions in the future.

Due to harmonic problems caused by various factors that resulted in damages and malfunctions of electrical equipment in the power system, eliminating harmonics in the electrical system has become an important issue for both industrial and household sectors. This article focuses on developing a current control method for a single-phase shunt active power filter (APF) that controls current by an indirect method. The detection of load current to generate reference signals uses the dq-axis reference frame for a single-phase electrical system. The design of circuit parameters and PI controller parameters for compensating current and DC bus voltage are based on a simple calculation method. Simulation and experimental results confirm that the proposed current control method and PI controller design effectively eliminate harmonics, with the percent of total current harmonic distortion (THDi) values of the supply current after compensation within the IEEE Std 519-2022 standard limit.

This research focuses on minimizing the distance clean clothes are moved from the drying process to the shipping process by modifying the sorting area for efficient adjustments. The analysis employs the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) methodology, categorizing relationships between activities into three types: Type A (3 relationship connections), Type I (2 relationship connections), and Type O (2 relationship connections). Two factory layout designs were developed based on this analysis. Layout 1 achieves a total movement distance of 2,014.72 meters from drying to daily shipping, resulting in a significant reduction of 1,160.06 meters compared to the original layout, representing a 37.69% decrease. Layout 2 reflects a total movement distance of 2,073.46 meters, which corresponds to a reduction of 1,218.80 meters from the original layout, or a 35.88% decrease. Qualitatively, the new factory layout enhances workplace safety by reducing the risk of accidents from collisions involving cloth carts, fostering a more positive work environment and increasing employee satisfaction. The design optimizes space efficiency, improving overall organization and workflow within the facility. Furthermore, although the article does not directly address service quality, the reduction in movement distance and time for transporting clean clothes indirectly contributes to improved service quality. This efficiency allows for quicker delivery of clean clothes to various departments, thereby enhancing responsiveness and operational effectiveness.
