Published: May 2022

With the acceleration of China's aging process, economic growth is affected by population aging to a certain extent, which is universal and special to the world, as China is not only the largest developing country in the world, but also the country with the largest aging population in the world. The impact of aging population structure on economic growth cannot be ignored. Among all economic problems, inflation has always been the most prominent one. Inflation rate measures the overall price level of a country. The average price level of an economy not only measures the monetary purchasing power of its residents, but also is a necessary condition for the smooth operation of the economy. Hence, too high or too low price level will restrict economic growth. Starting from the impact of aging structure on economic growth and inflation rate, this thesis discusses the relationship between aging population structure and economic growth, inflation as well.

Authors: Garg Rakesh , Bangarwa K.
Published: May 2022

The present study was carried out to estimate the genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in various clones of Eucalyptus tereticornis. The estimates of phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation clearly reflected the presence of large amount of genetic variability for clearbole height and unforked height, and reasonable amount of genetic variability for total height and diameter at breast height. Heritability estimates (in broad sense) reflected the predominance of heritable variation for all the characters under study. The estimates of genetic advance as percentage of mean clearly suggested the potentiality of the clonal material for improvement of total height, diameter, clearbole height and unforked height through selection. Significant positive correlation was observed among clearbole height and unforked height indicating the positive association of these characters with each other.

The lack of solid economic fundamentals in Indonesia has prompted the government to build an economic structure by taking into account the presence of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the international market. This sector has been proven to provide jobs and provide opportunities for SMEs to develop in the community. The existence of MSMEs cannot be doubted because they have proven to be able to survive and become an economic driver, especially after the economic crisis. On the other hand , SMEs also face many problems, namely limited working capital, low human resources, and incompetent mastery of science and technology (Sudaryanto and Hanim, 2002). Another obstacle faced by SMEs is the relationship with unclear business prospects and unstable planning vision and mission. Provision of information and market networks, easy access to funding and assistance as well as capacity building for information technology are some of the strategies to increase the competitiveness of Indonesian MSMEs. Therefore, it is necessary to synergize all parties, especially between the government and microfinance institutions.

Published: May 2022

The growth of personal pleasure is a direct result of a person's ability to provide themselves with energy. Since people may construct and enhance their way of life more swiftly with current innovation, valuable energy has become a sought-after expansion for many years due to the utilization of smart houses and structures. The demand for energy is greater than the supply, resulting in a lack of energy. In order to keep up with the demand for energy, new strategies are being developed. Many areas' residential energy use is between 30 and 40 percent. There has been an increase in the need for intelligence in applications like as asset management, energy-efficient automating, safety, and healthcare monitoring as a result of smart homes coming into existence and expanding. Energy consumption optimization is being tackled with the use of an energy management approach in this study. There has been a recent surge in interest in data fusion in the context of building energy efficiency. Accuracy and miss rate of energy consumption predictions were calculated utilizing the data fusion technique presented by the proposed study. Simulated findings are being compared with those of previously reported methods. It also has a prediction accuracy of 92 percent, which is greater than that of any other technique that has been previously reported. It's becoming increasingly important for households to keep their power costs down as the amount of electricity they consume rises and dispersed new energy sources are introduced. The installation of a home energy management system is a practical solution to these issues.
