Bidirectional Optimality Theory: Unveiling the Relationship between Corporate Governance Compliance and Financial Performance in emerging economies.
Authors: - Enoch Akuffu-Djobi , - Randolph Nsor-Ambala (PhD)
Published: February 2025

This study examines the dynamic and simultaneous interaction between corporate governance and financial performance nexus using secondary data from 29 firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) from 2010 to 2021. A corporate governance index (CGI) was calculated using an unweighted dichotomous response technique based on 144 self-administered survey questions guided mainly by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) code(s) of governance, while Return on Asset (a proxy for FP) was calculated by dividing Profit After Tax (PAT) by the total assets of the sampled firms over time. The Panel VAR estimation technique recommended by Abrigo and Love (2016) was used to empirically study the causality and simultaneous interaction between these two variables within the framework of bidirectional optimality theory. The findings provide a new evidence by demonstrating a positive and significant bidirectional nexus between CG and FP, confirming the bidirectional theory on the basis of lag one structure of the PVAR model. Thus, shareholders and other stakeholders seeking a better return on their investments would equally expect a competent and effective corporate governance system to protect their investment and interests in Ghana. The results of the forecast error variance decomposition analysis support the selection of corporate governance as the most endogenous variable. This study however, remains limited to Ghana and may not apply to other contexts.

Published: February 2025

Effectively assessed and skilled students are potentially the greatest agents of change for ensuring sustainable development Goals (SDGs), meeting the challenges of the 4th Industrial Revolution, and meeting the national demand for achieving national development plans (vision 2041/ smart Bangladesh) by generating skilled manpower. Here Formative Assessment (FA) can play a crucial role in promoting such change by enabling students through smooth assessment if it is effectively implemented in Bangladesh, especially in secondary education. Hence this study was conducted to measure teachers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices to determine readiness for Formative Assessment at secondary level education in Bangladesh. The survey was conducted on 100 respondents who are teachers at secondary schools from Rangamati and Cox’s Bazar districts in Bangladesh. The result revealed a moderate level of knowledge and positive attitude towards the FA among the teachers. It was observed that the relationship between their readiness (knowledge, attitudes, and practices) and training towards the FA is positive and strong with a 5% level of significance. Also, it was observed that the relationship between their practices and training about FA is stronger with a 1% level of significance. Therefore, it was concluded that FA literate teachers especially in secondary education are practicing FA tools/strategies to ensure better students’ assessment. Thus, the research recommends that more training on FA needs to be done to promote and encourage teachers at all levels of education in the country, especially in secondary education by the government and its agency to ensure effective implementation of FA. Researchers do believe that it will meet the national demand for skilled next generation to build a smart Bangladesh by ensuring quality education of sustainable development goals SDGs -4.
Cybernetic Proportional Dispenser System
Authors: - Aditi Udeshi
Published: February 2025

The Automatic Grocery Dispenser is an advanced system designed to add precision and control to the dispensing of granular grocery items. The system contains a servo motor that adjusts its position to modulate the flow of groceries within a fixed cap containing a strategically placed outlet. In its default position, the servo motor blocks the outlet, thus no flow occurs. When activated, the motor shifts the part to an open position where there is controlled discharging of groceries.

A load cell is used to measure weight in real-time to ensure that the volume dispensed is accurate and exactly reflects the user's input. This mechanism eliminates errors, increases efficiency, and reduces waste. The assembling of mechanical precision with electronic control systems makes the dispenser an advanced tool for the handling of modern grocery. Its architecture designed to focus on security and scalability makes it a better way to be used in residential, commercial, or industrial settings where accuracy and automation are required.

Authors: - Mohammad Mamun Mia , - Dulal Krishna Saha , - Toma Saha
Published: February 2025

This study evaluated the effects of alcohol consumption on driving performance and its contribution to road traffic accidents using simulated experiments and real-world data from 2016 to 2018. The simulated experiments involved 25 drivers, revealing significant impairments in reaction time, vigilance, perception, and control at varying blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels. Higher BAC levels were associated with increased accident rates, with statistical analysis demonstrating a linear trend between BAC and performance metrics such as average speed (p < 0.05), speed variability (p < 0.01), and lane position deviation (p < 0.01). Real-world data indicated a total of 6,114 accidents in 2016, 5,345 in 2017, and 5,367 in 2018, with a notable decline in serious and fatal accidents by 2018 (fatal accidents decreased from 2,197 in 2016 to 219 in 2018). However, slight accidents rose sharply from 2,662 in 2017 to 4,673 in 2018. Alcohol-related cases peaked at 163 in 2017 before dropping to 125 in 2018. Chi-square analysis found no statistically significant relationship between fatalities and exceeding the legal BAC limit (p = 0.1013 for 2016, p = 0.0981 for 2017, p = 0.1923 for 2018). The study emphasizes the persistent role of alcohol in increasing road safety risks, particularly in accident severity. These findings highlight the importance of stricter enforcement of BAC regulations, public awareness campaigns, and targeted interventions to mitigate high-risk behaviors, such as speeding and poor vehicle control, to enhance road safety outcomes.

Authors: - Gulrukh Bano
Published: February 2025

This topic explores how Franz Kafka brilliantly shows the constant clash—between beliefs, expectations, and reality that leaves Joseph K .His character in the novel ‘’THE TRIAL’’ feeling lost and disconnected. Kafkas story is not just about one man’s trial; it’s about the universal human struggle to make sense of a world that doesn’t always fit together. By exploring Joseph K.’s dissonance, Kafka challenges us to think about the tensions in our own lives and how we handle the conflicts between who we are and what the world demands of us.

Authors: - Shivanshu Katare , - Preyas Haldar
Published: February 2025

India's antitrust framework, primarily governed by the Competition Act of 2002 and enforced by the Competition Commission of India (CCI), has undergone significant evolution to address the complexities of a rapidly changing market landscape. The Competition Act of 2002 was enacted to promote and sustain competition in markets, protect consumer interests, and ensure freedom of trade. Over the years, the Act has been amended to keep pace with the dynamic economic environment, with notable amendments introduced in 2007 and more recently in 2023. The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023, introduced several significant changes aimed at strengthening competition regulation, streamlining operations, and fostering a business-friendly environment. These amendments include provisions for settlements and commitments, a framework for deal value thresholds in mergers and acquisitions, and the introduction of a leniency plus regime. This paper examines the current state of India's antitrust regime, highlighting key challenges, recent developments, and potential future directions. Through an analysis of recent cases and legislative reforms, we explore the effectiveness of the CCI in promoting fair competition and safeguarding consumer interests. Furthermore, we discuss the implications of the 2023 amendments and the need for continuous adaptation of the antitrust framework to effectively regulate and promote fair competition in the evolving market landscape.

A Comparative Study of The Existing Laws Governing Traditional Cultural Expressions
Authors: - Parvathy Menon , - Valarmathi R
Published: February 2025

The legal frameworks governing the protection of Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCEs) are as diverse as the cultural heritage they seek to preserve. Across the world, countries have adopted a wide array of legislative approaches to safeguard TCEs, each reflecting the unique socio-cultural, historical, and legal contexts of their societies. This diversity highlights the challenge in shaping legal mechanisms that are capable of addressing the respective needs of each region and community, while balancing the demands of globalization, modernization and cultural preservation. This multiplicity of laws arises from the highly varied cultural identities of nations and communities which also results in varied approaches. However, this diversity also brings with it significant challenges. The lack of a unified or harmonized framework for TCE protection at the international level has led to fragmented efforts, with national laws varying widely in their scope, enforcement mechanisms, and alignment with international norms. While some countries rely heavily on traditional intellectual property regimes, others have introduced sui generis systems or integrated customary law frameworks to address the limitations of conventional legal models. These differences highlight the difficulty of reconciling the communal, intergenerational nature of TCEs with the predominantly individualistic and time-bound principles of intellectual property law. This comparative analysis explores the varied legal frameworks that have emerged across different jurisdictions to protect TCEs, focusing on the interplay between cultural diversity and legislative diversity. It examines how the distinct cultural and legal traditions of nations influence their approaches to safeguarding TCEs and identifies commonalities and divergences that arise from this interplay. By highlighting the cultural underpinnings of existing laws, this study underscores the need for culturally sensitive and inclusive legal solutions that not only preserve the rich tapestry of global cultural heritage but also empower the communities that serve as its custodians.

Shreemad Bhagwad Geeta, a philosophical and spiritual text, provides profound insights that can be applied to contemporary corporate governance. Its teachings on ethics, leadership, decision-making, and personal responsibility offer a framework for ethical corporate practices, making it highly relevant for today’s business environment. Key principles from the Geeta, such as selfless action (Nishkama Karma), duty (Dharma), and the importance of inner balance, contribute significantly to responsible governance. Leaders who embrace these concepts are better equipped to make ethical decisions, main-tain integrity in the face of challenges, and promote a culture of transparency and fairness. The Geeta’s teachings on emotional intelligence, resilience, and detachment from outcomes offer guidance for han-dling the pressures and complexities of corporate leadership. Additionally, its focus on the importance of inclusivity and collaboration fosters an environment where diverse perspectives are valued, leading to more effective governance structures. This research paper aims to explore how the Bhagwad Geeta’s spiritual and philosophical principles provide practical solutions to modern corporate challenges, en-hancing leadership qualities, promoting ethical practices, and fostering organizational sustainability. By integrating these ancient teachings with contemporary governance frameworks, corporations can create a more ethical, transparent, and successful organizational culture that aligns with both business objectives and societal well-being.

African Americans are the people of African descent who were brought to America as slaves. Earlier, they were also called as Negroes, later blacks, (with hyphen) African Americans and now the African Americans. Like the African Americans, Dalit or ex-untouchable is group of humanity in India who were oppressed by the social slavery of Brahmanism. They were oppressed just because they were born in the lower caste. Racism and casteism are to the two social evils that suppressed the African Americans in America and Dalits in India. One would notice an attempt of comparison between the bitter experience of African Americans and Dalits. This article sustains the literary corpus of the margins. I have chosen Du Bois and Ambedkar for comparative discourse with their respective question of Race in America and Caste in India particular. I strongly argue that Ambedkar has been got influenced by Dubois.

Authors: - Harshita Anand , - Shivani Devadiya , - Sumant Vyas
Published: February 2025

Manual scavenging remains a critical issue in contemporary society, despite legislative efforts to eradicate it. This paper examines the socio-economic and cultural factors that perpetuate manual scavenging, evaluates the effectiveness of current policies, and proposes strategies for sustainable eradication and rehabilitation of affected communities. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines qualitative interviews with activists, policymakers, and manual scavengers with quantitative data analysis from reports from governmental and non-governmental organisations. The study analyses prevalence and health effects using statistical methods, and it offers insights into individual experiences and systemic issues through thematic analysis of interview data. This all-inclusive method seeks to convey the complex character of hand scavenging. Our findings of this study suggests that the parameters such as health, safety, economic well-being, compensation, technological advancement are of paramount importance where much can be done by the government to tackle the issues associated with such parameters. Moreover, substantial improvement can be done in the ‘standard of living’ parameters such as ‘sanitation’ and ‘housing’. While most workers are not satisfied with the governmental policies, however they do not find any gaps in parameters such as provisions of cooking fuel, electricity, bank accounts etc

L’objectif de cette étude est de faire une comparaison entre les espèces locales et exotiques existantes dans la forêt PRODAF/LUYONGO plantée dans la commune rurale de Luozi en allant vers le village KINLANDA, Territoire de Luozi, Province du Kongo Central, en République Démocratique du Congo. Tenant compte de leurs compositions floristiques. Quatre espèces ont été ciblées dominantes dont deux locales et deux exotiques avec un échantillon de cent arbres dont vingt-cinq par espèce. Considérant tous les paramètres floristiques étudiés, il ressort que les espèces exotiques sont plus performantes. Elles ont des dimensions grandement supérieures que les espèces locales. Pour ce faire, elles sont les meilleures pour une afforestation artificielle. Elles ont la capacité de couvrir rapidement le sol en empêchant la sortie de la végétation herbeuse.
Balancing Sustainability and Social Equity
Authors: - Parin Chanana
Published: February 2025

Urban rezoning policies are increasingly designed to promote environmental sustainability, yet they often inadvertently exacerbate social inequalities. This paper examines the unintended consequences of New York City’s 2023 “City of Yes for Carbon Neutrality” initiative, which, while addressing climate change, risks accelerating gentrification and displacing low-income Black communities. Drawing from the works of Joseph Stiglitz, Po Chu-I, and urban policy scholars, this study explores the broader ethical and socioeconomic tensions between green development and social equity. Findings indicate that urban sustainability initiatives frequently drive up property values, disproportionately benefiting affluent stakeholders while marginalizing vulnerable populations. This paper further evaluates potential solutions, including Community Land Trusts (CLTs), inclusive zoning policies, and Community Benefit Agreements (CBAs), assessing their effectiveness in mitigating displacement. The research underscores the urgent need for comprehensive policy approaches that balance environmental goals with social justice to create equitable and sustainable urban development.

Judicial Review and Its Impact on Constitutional Interpretation in India
Authors: - Soni Jagde
Published: February 2025

The judiciary, as a vital branch of government, plays a crucial role in interpreting the law and has the authority to invalidate any law that contradicts the Constitution. Judicial review empowers the Supreme Court and High Courts to assess whether laws and government actions align with the Constitution. If a law is deemed unconstitutional, it is rendered void and unenforceable.
This power enables the judiciary to hold the executive and legislative branches accountable, ensuring their actions conform to constitutional principles. Judicial review is an essential component of the Basic Structure Doctrine, acting as a safeguard against potential abuses of power by other branches of government.
Often referred to as constitutional review, judicial review has a profound effect on how constitutional provisions are interpreted. This paper seeks to explore the significance of judicial review in shaping constitutional law and interpretation, offering a comprehensive analysis of its role in upholding constitutional governance.

Renewable Energy for Electric Mobility: Assessing Energy Sources for Charging Infrastructure using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach
Authors: - Devang Desai , - Anuj Shah , - Ramesh Guduru
Published: February 2025

Governments worldwide are aiming for 100% electric mobility as fossil fuel resources run out. Almost every country has announced its deadline to go 100% electric mobility as the existing fossil fuel resources get exhausted and leave our planet dry and void of traditional petrol and diesel. Manufacturers are developing new electric vehicles with long-term goals to become carbon neutral. However, achieving these goals requires addressing various obstacles, including the current capacity of existing grids and the availability of alternate energy sources. Several parts of the world still don't receive 24-hour electricity, let alone meeting the demands of upcoming EVs. Alternate energy sources must be recognized to supplement the excess energy requirement imposed by the newer EVs. However, no such single source of energy can be implemented to all regions of the world, as some parts of the world receive no sun fall to the contrary some parts receive abundant sun fall, while some regions may receive a high wind speed whereas some do not receive a good wind speed. Hence, we need to account for every condition to select the optimum technology for a particular location. This paper uses real-life analytics to suggest which energy sources make sense economically, environmentally, socially, and feasibly in different regions. It also provides a framework for deploying charging stations with alternate fuels, addressing implementation challenges and economic considerations. The study presents case studies of successful RES-integrated EV charging stations and outlines future research directions for optimization and scalability.
