Developing Intercultural Competence in a Complex Organizational Structure: A Case Study Within Quebec’s Workers’ Compensation Board
Authors: Côté Daniel , Dubé Jessica , Gravel Sylvie
Published: September 2022

Background: Wanting to offer culturally sensitive services to a diverse population, rehabilitation counsellors employed by a workers’ compensation board (WCB) in a Canadian province asked the researchers to provide them with support to develop their intercultural competencies. A collaborative research design was suggested as a potential way to make full use of experiential knowledge. This article presents an action research approach in which study participants were also active in the development of new knowledge and sought to become key players in organizational change.Objective: The objective of this article is to present the steps involved in the co-construction of an intercultural communication support tool and to describe the mechanisms and structure put in place to develop the tool.Methodology: A working group (WG), a steering committee (SC) and a validation group (VG) were created, and each met on a regular basis over approximately 18 months. Several methodological approaches and data collection tools were used: participant observation charts, diaries, an “intercultural situation” workshops.Results: A total of 28 people participated in the project, in addition to the three researchers. The study showed the importance of integrating three dimensions—the individual, collective, and organizational—into the definition of intercultural competence. It soon became evident in our study that a self-reflection process grounded in a collective learning approach was the core component of the entire process of developing intercultural competencies. This finding went well beyond the production of any materials (practical guides, checklists, and supporting documents) that resulted from this process.

This research uses a library research or and analyzes the data with descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that Ingkar sunnah is an understanding or opinion of an individual or group that rejects the sunnah of the Prophet as the basis of Islamic law. The Sunnah in question starts from a valid Sunnah, both substantially; namely the practical sunnah of practice (sunnah 'amaliah), or formal sunnah codified by the scholars which includes deeds (qaulan), deeds (fi'lan), and the approval of the Prophet (taqriran). This understanding emerged as a small group (only a splinter) in the history of its development, so that this understanding could not develop and could not provide color in the discourse on the dynamics of the flow of thought in Islam. Because his understanding tends to weaken the joints in building Shari'ah Islamiyah.

The selection of software requirements elicitation techniques is very important for organizations as the first step in the software development process. This study is motivated by the existence of problems, where the organization does not understand the type of software being developed, so it is difficult to determine the right need elicitation technique. In this study, a literature review was used by collecting existing studies. Used 17 studies related to the discussion of elicitation techniques used. This study aims to review previous studies so as to produce recommendations for software requirements elicitation techniques. Based on the study, it can be concluded that interview, prototyping and JAD are most often used in software projects. In addition, for the small-medium scale software projects, more use of interviews, JAD, and ERD-based specifications. Meanwhile, the large-scale software projects involve more stakeholders with elicitation techniques such as group discussions, interviews, and parallel discussions to find joint solutions.

Old Ghosts/New Regrets
Authors: Panchev Dimitar
Published: September 2022

With the onset of the pandemic, the precarious position of Roma communities in Bulgaria, particularly young people and their future prospects, seem bleaker than ever before, reaching new heights in terms of their insecurity. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, conducted prior to and post several lockdowns during the pandemic (2020-2021), this paper will place forward the argument that the crisis we are currently witnessing, the unprecedented levels of multi-faceted social marginalization and exclusion are intensified by ‘old ghosts’ that have haunted social policy for decades and the withdrawal of the state during the lockdowns will most certainly have a devastating impact – ‘new regrets’, one’s which cannot be overcome by simply providing access to the consumer market economy, the mantra on which the pathways towards revitalization are premised.
Passport to neoliberal normality? A critical exploration of COVID-19 vaccine passports.
Authors: Telford Luke , Bushell Mark , Hodgkinson Owen
Published: September 2022

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic governments across the world including in France, Canada, Lithuania, Austria, Italy, and Ireland imposed ‘vaccine passports’ on the premise that they would curtail transmission of the virus, reduce COVID-19 related mortalities, and enable society to return to neoliberal normality. However, vaccine passports raise several important and troubling issues that have not been given sufficient attention within the social sciences. Therefore, this article offers a critique of vaccine passports. It is structured into three key themes: (a) scientifically and ethically problematic, (b) the death of the social and the ‘Other’, and (c) digital surveillance and freedom. The article begins by exploring how vaccine passports make little scientific sense and further entrench some unvaccinated peoples’ sense of political and medical mistrust. It then discusses how they amplify social divisions, creating the unvaccinated Other in society and intensifying the neoliberal shift towards a post-social, contactless world. The paper closes with an outline of how vaccine passports were cast as enabling a return to neoliberal normality and freedom, hinging upon an assumption of harmlessness while cementing the negative ideology of capitalist realism.
Using specimens from the CIRAD Kourou wood collection to build a database of properties
Authors: BEAUCHENE Jacques , AMUSANT Nadine , CIGNA Jeremy , KOESE Soepe , THIBAUT Bernard
Published: September 2022

A Xylarium, like the one in Kourou in French Guiana, is a unique collection of wood specimens assembled over many years that represents high interspecific diversity. In addition to the standard use of such collections for systematic anatomy, a technological database can be created using supplementary specimens taken from the same tree as the reference specimens. Physical, mechanical and durability tests were performed on wood planks measuring 10 × 60 × 100 mm3 (L is the longest direction, width and thickness are not always perfectly radial or tangential, just transverse) representing 445 woody species belonging to 63 families found in French Guiana. Wood densities ranged from 250 to 1,300 kg/m3, with an average of 786 kg/m3. The other properties also covered a wide range of values, as did the longitudinal modulus of elasticity (ranging from 0.6 to 37 GPa), as samples from lianas and palm stipes from very stiff woods were also tested. The correlations between the different parameters measured on the 445 species tested allowed us to identify some relationships between wood properties, e.g.: (i) light colored woods are less prone to shrinkage, but more prone to rot (the opposite is true for red woods); (ii) woods with a low damping coefficient are generally darker, redder, denser, and more resistant to rot. This database cannot be used to characterize a particular species as only one specimen is available for each species, but it can be used to study the relationships between properties and easily measured descriptors related to wood structure (e.g. density, modulus) or wood chemistry (e.g. color, durability).  Finally, this database provides the foundation for future bigger databases including many more specimens of each species that will be useful to search for particular properties in certain families or genera, for example, high natural durability despite rather low wood density, or low damping along with a high specific modulus.
The impact of board composition on shareholder wealth creation: evidence from public companies in Sri Lanka
Authors: Rooly M. S. A. Riyad
Published: September 2022

Purpose — This research aims to examine the impact of board composition on shareholder wealth in line with the agency and resource dependency theory approach due to the poor corporate governance practices leading to investors' lack of confidence. Method — The study samples included companies listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange in Sri Lanka. The banks and financial institutions were excluded from this study. The study period consists of seven years, and a final sample of 175 companies was selected for the analysis. E-View 9 statistical software was used to test the association between Board composition-related variables and shareholder wealth. Result — The findings revealed that board size, separate leadership structure, and proportion of non-executive directors on the Board positively influence shareholder wealth. At the same time, a separate leadership structure also tends to enhance the shareholder wealth of companies. It is noted that a large board and a higher proportion of non-executive directors on the Board would benefit shareholders, which supports the theoretical prediction of agency and resource dependency theories and the code of best practices on corporate governance in Sri Lanka. The result related to women's representation on the Board does not significantly influence shareholder wealth since the gender balance was not prioritized in Sri Lankan listed companies. Recommendation — The findings provide valuable information to professionals and policymakers to develop a framework for corporate governance systems. It is also advisable to consider the gender balance on board affairs. Corporate governance mechanisms are considered important factors in protecting shareholder interests at large. Contribution — There were few studies in Sri Lanka that specifically examined corporate governance best practices and their impact on firm performance, but no single study directly addresses the shareholder wealth of listed companies in Sri Lanka. This study is intended to fill in this gap.
Sobre a Tradição e a Tradução - releitura de Nós Paiter de Betty Mindlin por estudantes Suruí

Published: September 2022

Para os Estudos Culturais as identidades no mundo atual possuem relação direta com as mudanças culturais decorrentes da globalização. Esta compreensão orientou a construção do presente texto, produzido no 1º semestre de 2021, no estado de Rondônia. Trata da interpretação extraída do livro Nós Paiter de Betty Mindlin (1985), um estudo antropológico sobre o Povo Indígena Surui localizado na Amazônia brasileira. Foi uma das leituras básicas desenvolvidas no Projeto de Pesquisa: Alfabetização Intercultural - estudos sobre os processos de compreensão da cultura escrita em escolas indígenas de Rondônia (2020-2021) no âmbito do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC). Este escrito buscou analisar as mudanças e permanências culturais entre os Paiter tendo como referência a publicação citada, na perspectiva de estudantes indígenas da graduação. A fundamentação teórica ancorou-se nas contribuições de Giddens (1990) e Hall (2006) no que diz respeito à discussão dos conceitos de Tradição e Tradução. Os resultados apontaram que, na perspectiva dos três estudantes universitários do Povo Suruí, parte significativa das atividades discutidas continuam sendo praticadas nas aldeias Paiter, no âmbito da Tradição, mas não exatamente da mesma forma de antes o que remete às explicações da Tradução. Significa afirmar que as práticas culturais existentes foram de algum modo alteradas e estes efeitos incidem sobre suas atuais identificações. Concluímos que a leitura do livro Nós Paiter possibilitou o exercício do protagonismo estudantil Surui, momento que propiciou aprendizagens interculturais relevantes sobre a dinamicidade das culturas na contemporaneidade.

Authors: Ramadhania Farhaiza - , Purnamayanti Chelomitha Malindra , Pertiwi Rina , Yulianti Yunika Tri , Sebayang Susy Katikana
Published: September 2022

Background: The phenomenon of the outbreak of COVID-19 in various parts of the world has created a global panic that has a tremendous effect on all sides of life. Currently, COVID-19 is still a pandemic in Indonesia. Health appeals and messages circulating to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 have not been fully heeded by the public. Without a strong cultural basis, the change in behaviour is difficult for the community to accept. The social context highlighting descriptive norms for certain types of behaviour caused the command norms to conflict with the highlighted behaviour and dissonance (discomfort) increases. Health messages are designed based on symbols that in Indonesian society may be more effective. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using traditional Indonesian fairy tale symbols in COVID-19 health posters on knowledge, attitudes, and health behaviours related to COVID-19. Methods: A total of 51 respondents aged 18-40 years who registered on the online questionnaire filled a link with the determination of the sample, namely random sampling which measured knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour before and after being given a poster designed using symbols found in traditional fairy tales. This study uses an online pre-test and post-test. Respondents come from various regions in Indonesia. Results: Respondents stated that posters with fairy tale symbols were interesting, not monotonous, and educative. After seeing posters designed using symbols from traditional fairy tales, respondents' knowledge about COVID-19 increased by 102%, attitudes increased by 6%, and behaviour increased by 17%. Conclusion: The use of symbols in traditional fairy tales conveyed through poster media is effectively used to convey health messages to the public during the COVID-19 period. Health messages should be designed using symbols rooted in people's culture such as traditional Indonesian fairy tales.
Mediating epistemological access through asynchronous online discussion forums during the COVID-19 pandemic: Implications for re-imagining online collaborative self-directed peer engagement and learning
Authors: Moosa R.
Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated the burgeoning of online learning and asynchronous online discussion forums in higher education due to restrictions on face-to-face teaching and learning interactions. Previous research on asynchronous online discussion forums focused on the processes that enhance or limit discussion threads and how discussion posts develop students’ reflection and critical thinking skills. Although asynchronous online discussion forums are regarded as spaces for interactive learning, very little is known about how they facilitate epistemological access and enable collaborative peer learning interactions during periods of disruption such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study explores voluntary asynchronous online discussion forum participation in a non-credit bearing course from a unique angle of mediating epistemological access to online learning. This study draws on connectivist theory as a theoretical framework in a digital age where the student is in control of engagement interaction and information exchange. The central research question posed is how does an asynchronous online discussion forum mediate epistemological access to online learning and facilitate collaborative self-directed peer learning during the COVID-19 pandemic? The present study is underpinned by an inductive qualitative exploratory case study approach. A total of 2 146 discussion posts from 1 348 students across five faculties were downloaded from the learning management system and analysed using thematic analysis. This study indicates that epistemological access using a technology-mediated tool, is best facilitated through agency at the institutional, the instructor and the student level. The findings show that despite academic and technological challenges an online discussion forum enables epistemological access, interactive exchange of information and the formation of collaborative peer learning communities. In an age of digital inequalities, this study provides a starting point to uncover ontological barriers to epistemological access to online learning and signals the importance of integrating epistemological access, pedagogy and technology. This article concludes with implications for re-imagining the design of online multi-modal pedagogy to mediate online collaborative self-directed peer engagement and learning.
The pedagogic domain and epistemic access in South African higher education: The challenges for students with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Ndlovu S.
Published: September 2022

The unexpected emergence of COVID-19 pandemic has had adverse effects on diverse students’ epistemic access in the context of South African higher education. While this has seen an increasing urge for research to understand epistemic access and success of disadvantaged students, there has not been a specific focus on the issue as it specifically relates to students with disabilities, who are unique in their own way, thereby requiring an intervention that considers their differences. Using the decolonial analytical framework, the article explored the challenges in the pedagogic domain, and their implications for the epistemic access of students with disabilities during the pandemic. Data were collected through the synthesis of international and South African literature on the issue, as it specifically relates to students with disabilities during the pandemic. The key finding was that the pandemic exacerbated the pedagogic challenges already confronted by students with disabilities, thereby gravely affecting their access to learning. The objective of the article was to present the pedagogic challenges and how they have limited students with disabilities’ epistemic access, as exacerbated by the pandemic. This was so that interventions that could assist their learning in the “new normal”, could be thought about, in the South African context, in Africa and globally.

Evaluation of a prototype integrated pavement screed for screeding asphalt or concrete crater repairs
Authors: Cox Benjamin , Hoffman Nolan , Carr Thomas
Published: September 2022

Finishing, or screeding, the hot mix asphalt or rapid-setting concrete surface of a crater repair is important for rapid airfield damage recovery (RADR) since it determines the aircraft ride surface quality. The objective of RADR repairs is to expediently produce a flush repair, defined as ±0.75 in. of the surrounding pavement surface, with minimal logistical and personnel burden. Multiple screeds were previously evaluated; the most recent project proposed a prototype design of a telehandler-operated integrated screed for both small and large repairs using asphalt or concrete. This project’s objective was to finalize the prototype design and fabricate and test the prototype RADR screed. The prototype RADR screed was successful for small repairs (8.5×8.5 ft). Large repairs (30×30 ft) were generally successful with modest repair quality criteria (RQC) issues being the only notable deficiencies. Large concrete repair RQC issues were attributed to plastic formwork movement, and large asphalt repair RQC issues were attributed to compaction issues or improper roll-down factors. Methods to mitigate these factors were investigated but should be further evaluated. Overall, the RADR screed was successful from technical perspectives but, functionally, is 600-800 lb overweight. Weight reduction should be considered before entering production.

Kopi Liberika (Coffea liberica Bull ex Hiern) tergolong kopi Liberoid yang memiliki ukuran buah lebih besar daripada kopi Arabika dan Robusta. Setiap jenis kopi Liberoid memiliki ukuran biji yang beragam dari yang berukuran kecil, sedang, hingga besar. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan informasi tentang ukuran benih yang optimal untuk perbanyakan kopi Liberoid secara generatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ukuran klas benih terhadap perkecambahan dan pertumbuhan benih kopi Liberoid Meranti. Penelitian dilakukan di rumah kaca Balai Penelitian Tanaman Industri dan Penyegar, Pakuwon, Sukabumi, mulai bulan Januari sampai September 2021. Penelitian dilakukan dalam 2 tahap, yaitu tahap persemaian awal dan persemaian utama, dengan rancangannya masing-masing adalah rancangan petak terpisah yang diulang 5 kali. Sebagai petak utama adalah 2 jenis kopi Liberoid Meranti yaitu LIM 1 dan LIM 2, sedangkan sebagai anak petak adalah 3 ukuran klas benih yaitu ukuran kecil, sedang, dan besar. Pengamatan dilakukan terhadap proses perkecambahan dan pertumbuhan benih. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa viabilitas, pertumbuhan tinggi, dan diameter batang benih dipengaruhi oleh interaksi antara jenis kopi dengan ukuran benih, sedangkan panjang hipokotil dan panjang akar dipengaruhi oleh perbedaan ukuran benih. Untuk meningkatkan keberhasilan perbanyakan benih melalui biji, maka untuk kopi LIM 1 sebaiknya menggunakan benih yang berukuran sedang sampai besar (0,51-0,70 g/benih), sedangkan untuk LIM 2 sebaiknya menggunakan benih yang berukuan kecil (0,56-0,62 g/benih).

Rich interview data were analysed using a reflective thematic analysis. Results: Participants identified that culture and the arts could be helpful for their mental health, online engagement had some advantages over in-person engagement and benefits were greater with regular use. Participants described that the features of OAC most likely to benefit mental health were diverse human stories about personal challenges and a variety of viewpoints with which they could connect on a human level. This brought a sense of perspective and provided opportunities for reflection, learning, escapism, creativity, exploration and discovery. Perceived impacts on mental health included the disruption of negative thought patterns, lifting mood and increased feelings of calm and proactivity. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that young people have a critical level of insight and understanding regarding their mental health and ways in which it might be improved. These findings can be used to optimise the mental health benefits of OAC in an engaging and acceptable way for young people. These methodologies could be applied to other types of community resource for mental health.

Background
Nausea and Vomiting are common complications in patients undergoing Caesarean delivery under regional anaesthesia. When experienced after surgery, they may not only delay recovery, reduce patient satisfaction and affect the bonding between mother and baby but also may increase the risk of aspiration, which is a recognised cause of maternal death. Various pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches for prophylaxis and treatment of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) have been employed with different degree of efficacy.
Aims
In this pilot randomised controlled trial, we aimed to determine the possible preventative effects of chewing gum on the rate of PONV in expectant mothers undergoing neuraxial anaesthesia for elective lower segment caesarean section.
Methods
296 patients were randomised to an intervention arm to receive chewing gum in addition to standard therapy and to a non-intervention arm to receive standard therapy. After exclusions 258 patients were followed up 24 hours post-operatively. Standard therapy is defined as Ondansetron 4mg IV intra-operatively. The primary outcomes were the incidences of nausea and vomiting in the first 24 hours post-operatively. Secondary outcomes were the number of episodes of nausea or vomiting in the recovery room and on the ward 24 hours post-operatively, use of anti-emetics post-operatively, severity of nausea and patient satisfaction with the intervention.
Results
Our study revealed no significant differences in rates of post-operative nausea and vomiting between the intervention and standard therapy groups (41.4% v 36.9% p = 0.461). There were no significant differences in secondary outcomes between groups.
Conclusion
Chewing gum does not reduce the incidence of PONV after elective LSCS under spinal anaesthesia
Trial Registration
Our trial was registered with clinicaltrials.org (NCT04191694)

Identifying connectivity patterns among remnant bird populations and their relationship with land use practices and subjacent habitat fragmentation is key for implementing appropriate management strategies for species conservation. The coastal thorn scrub forest and dune vegetation complex in the northern Yucatan Peninsula has been affected by coastal development. These human induced processes of land use change can affect the Yucatan Wren (Campylorhynchus yucatanicus), an endemic bird to this vegetation types with a narrow distribution. To identify possible anthropogenic barriers to connectivity of populations of C. yucatanicus, we collected 140 samples from 14 localities and used seven nuclear microsatellite loci to describe the current structure and genetic diversity of populations of C. yucatanicus. We explored the relationship between the genetic variability of populations and landscape structure through regression models. In addition, we described the relationship between genetic distance and landscape resistance. We found four genetic populations with Bayesian clustering methods. Human settlements and availability of adequate habitat limit the connectivity between sites due to ongoing land use changes. We suggest some management actions for conservation of this species, and we propose to change the IUCN threat category to "endangered" because of today the species has a more restricted distribution, small population, habitat degradation, loss of connectivity, and loss of genetic variability.

The goal of this study is to convert cement bypass dust into a usable product called hydroxyapatite. Four hydroxyapatites’ samples (Kiln-HA1- Kiln-HA4) were successfully prepared in nano-scale (14.8–25.7 nm). The specific surface areas of all of the samples examined were high: Kiln-HA3 (161.5 m2/g) > Kiln-HA1 (130.2 m2/g) > Kiln-HA2 (81.9 m2/g) > Kiln-HA4 (54.1 m2/g).Tested nano- hydroxyapatite successfully removed Fe3+ and Mn2+ as pollutants from water with efficiencies of up to 95% for both Fe and Mn ions. The maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) of nano hydroxyapatite varied from 147 to 175 mg.g− 1 for adsorbed Fe (III), while were wide ranged from 204 to 344 mg.g− 1 for adsorbed Mn (II).Hydroxyapatite-selectivity for removing Mn and Fe ions in mixed solutions was as follows: Fe3+> Cu2+>Mn2+. In multiple cycles, the investigated materials were able to remove Fe and Mn ions without regeneration. The overall cost of producing 100 grams of hydroxyapatite from cement bypass waste is less than other calcium source which was 184 EGP/100g (9.32 €/100g).
Is there a stronger willingness to pay for air quality improvement with high education? New evidence from a survey in China
Authors: hu lun , liao wenmei
Published: September 2022

As a developing country with the largest population and serious environmental pollution in the world, China has made great efforts in air pollution. Air quality improvement depends not only on government administrative regulations, but also on public support, especially how much the public is willing to pay for air quality improvement. Higher education will encourage the public to take actions to improve air quality. However, the confirmation of the causality relationship between WTP and education have been missing. In this study, the micro-household survey data is used to study the relationship between the two, and the following conclusions are drawn: (1)OLS regression model and instrumental variable both determine the positive influence of education level on air quality improvement WTP, and Heckman model further verifies the robustness of the conclusion. (2) According to the results of IV, the WTP of air quality improvement of urban households will increase by 12.632 ~ 18.664 CNY, and that rural households will increase by 11.886 ~ 21.117 CNY for each grade of schooling. (3) The positive influence of education level is greater in the groups of men, higher income, higher awareness of acid rain and more air purifiers,and it has a greater impact on married people in rural areas than in urban areas. (4) The total social and economic value of air quality improvement in China is 34.572 billion CNY to 672.42 trillion CNY.

The family of phosphate transporters (PHTs) mediates the uptake and translocation of Pi inside the plants. However, little is known about transporters in soybean. Therefore, Searched the Genome Database for Soybean, 57 GmPHTs family members were identified in soybean, Phylogenetic analysis suggested that members of the PHTs gene family can be divided into six clades. Collinearity analysis revealed that most of the GmPHT genes shared syntenic relationships with PHTs members in Arabidopsis thaliana and that large segment duplication played a major driving force for GmPHTs evolution in addition to tandem duplication. Further analysis of the promoter revealed that light-responsive elements and abiotic stress-responsive elements were widely distributed within the promoter regions of GmPHT genes. Based on RNA-seq data, GmPHTs showed different expression patterns in roots and leaves of soybean treated with long-term low phosphorus and short-term low phosphorus, in addition, the expression levels of GmPHT genes can be regulated by drought stresses, it was implied that the induced expression of GmPHTs could promote phosphorus uptake and transport in soybean and thus adapt to low phosphorus and drought stress, which is the first step dissection of Pi transport system and probably refers to new roles of PHTs genes in soybean.
How carbon trading policy should be integrated with carbon tax policy? -Laboratory evidence from a model of the current state of carbon pricing policy in China

Published: September 2022

China is planning to introduce a carbon tax policy to control the carbon emissions of country better and achieve the "3060 goals", but there is still widespread discussion about how to introduce it and how to combine it with cap and trade. China had already established a national carbon emission trading market, however, there is also disagreement on whether to impose the carbon tax on companies and projects that had been included in cap and trade. This paper adopts the research method of experimental economics to study the effect on social economy and social emission reduction under cap and trade, carbon tax, carbon tax-carbon trading policies, and analyzes average prices of carbon market under cap and trade and carbon tax-cap and trade policies. The study find that: under the carbon tax-carbon trading policies, carbon emissions cannot be reduced significantly, but the profits of corporations will be reduced significantly.And it will be resulting in a lower average carbon market price under the carbon tax-carbon trading policies than under the cap and trade policy, which may reduce the low-carbon technology innovation capability of enterprises. This paper will provide theoretical suggestions for introducing carbon tax policy into China in the future, and make policy recommendations for the better development of China's carbon market.
