Navigating ESG Imperatives: The Role of Corporate Governance in Shaping Environmental and Social Outcomes in Emerging Markets
Authors: Memon Shehriyar
Published: September 2024

Corporate operational activities in the last two decades were significantly influenced by non-financial restraints, which have shaped their nature. Companies are increasingly being required to balance between financial performance and environmental and social responsibilities. There is a possibility that engaging in environmental and social initiatives may increase a company's reputation amongst stakeholders as well as curtail risks to shareholder welfare. The accountability of effective corporate governance and fostering sustainable practices is paramount for all companies. This study investigates the effect of corporate governance on the environmental and social performance of public companies in China and Pakistan. Using data from the Refinitiv Eikon database for 2010-2022, we found a significant positive correlation between corporate governance and environmental performance, showing that better-governed firms tend to have better environmental outcomes. However, there was no significant relationship between corporate governance on the one hand, implying difficulties in achieving balanced ESG outcomes on the other side. These findings highlight the need for focused policies to enhance social performance among emerging markets, which underscores the complexity of corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Overcoming English Speaking Anxiety: Challenges Faced by University Students in Rajasthan
Authors: Devi Suman
Published: September 2024

English speaking proficiency remains a significant hurdle for many university students, especially in regions where English is not the primary language. This qualitative study explores the difficulties faced by first-year students in speaking English during classes at Jayoti Vidyapeeth Women’s University in Rajasthan, India. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six university participants to investigate the linguistic and psychological barriers hindering effective English-spoken communication. The findings reveal that students struggle with pronunciation, vocabulary acquisition, and limited exposure to English outside the classroom. Despite receiving English instruction, many students view English as confined to the school and a subject for gaining marks rather than a means of genuine communication. The study underscores the need to address linguistic and psychological barriers that impede students’ ability to speak English confidently. Recommendations emphasize providing opportunities for authentic English engagement beyond the classroom and developing bridging programs to facilitate the transition from secondary to university-level English proficiency. Future research with innovative methodologies and larger sample sizes is suggested for a deeper understanding of this issue. Fostering English speaking skills is crucial for students' academic and professional success in an increasingly globalized world.
Solid-state anaerobic digestion of sweet corn waste: The effect of mixing and recirculation interval
Authors: Nirunsin Rotjapun , Saipa Sasithorn , Sawatdeenarunat Chayanon
Published: September 2024

The mixing and sludge recirculation interval is one of the key successes of the solid-state anaerobic digestion process, a promising technology for converting high-solid agro-industrial wastes to renewable energy. This study employed a pilot-scale completely stirred tank reactor to examine biogas production from sweet corn waste, including corn cobs, husks, and seeds. The reactor was operated as solid-state anaerobic digestion at an ambient temperature. The mixing and recirculating intervals were set to non-mixing and mixing for 10 minutes every 3, 6, and 12 hours. The initial total solid of the feedstock was 25%, while the hydraulic retention time was 30 days. The results showed that during the mixing and recirculation every three hours, the highest chemical oxygen demand, total solid, and volatile solid (VS) removal efficiencies were 85.42%, 62.92%, and 64.59%, respectively. The ratio between volatile fatty acid and alkalinity ranged between 0.20 and 0.30 without any sign of system failure. The highest specific methane yield of 766 L/kg VSadded was obtained in the experiment with mixing and recirculating intervals every 3 hours. It was found that the modified Gompertz model could effectively fit the methane yields with an R2 of 0.9667. The modeled methane production potential and the maximum methane production rate were 867.40 NL/kg VSadded and 132.01 NL/kg VSadded-d, respectively. Additionally, the levelized cost of the biogas produced from the solid-state anaerobic digestion of the sweet corn waste was calculated to be 0.61 USD/kg. The findings of this study can serve as a guide for the design and operation of the SS-AD system, which aims to transform various types of lignocellulosic waste into environmentally friendly energy.

Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted through mosquitoes and endemic in most tropical countries, such as Surabaya. DHF cases is continued to be monitored, as well as the issue of social distancing, where Kader Surabaya Hebat (KSH) officers were not allowed to enter the house to conduct larvae examinations. In addition, mosquito eggs and first instars are rarely detected in this examination, making DHF endemicity remain high in Surabaya. Larvae were sampled in 115 houses and the accompanying 115 KSH officers were sampled randomly in 27 villages in Surabaya. Furthermore, the variable will be accommodated on the layer point map to evaluate the larvae in real-time by recording videos for five seconds and entering them in the mobile sensing application so that larvae movement and type would be detected. The results of larvae positively detected and identified were Aedes aegypti (100%) and Aedes albopictus (100%). In addition, based on the questionnaire to 115 KSH officers, it was found that they had the knowledge (89%), behavior (97%), and practice (86%) in controlling DHF vector mosquitoes. Considering the success of mobile sensing applications as part of effort to control DHF vectors requires community and KSH to support government programs regarding mosquito disease control, more efforts are necessary to facilitate KSH officers more in conducting home visits, thus potential for DHF transmission can be reported more routinely and accurately.
Comparative Analysis of Tax Laws with Reference to the Theories of Adam Smith and Seyyed Jamaluddin Asadabadi
Authors: Ashoori Farajollah
Published: September 2024

This article conducts a comparative analysis of Iran's tax laws with reference to the theories of Adam Smith and Seyyed Jamaluddin Asadabadi. Adam Smith, as the founder of modern economics, introduced principles such as justice, certainty, proportionality, and economic efficiency in taxation, which are still employed in the design of modern tax systems. On the other hand, Seyyed Jamaluddin Asadabadi, emphasizing social justice and the equitable distribution of wealth, presented unique perspectives on taxation. In this article, the history and evolution of tax laws in Iran are reviewed, and these laws are compared with the theoretical principles of Smith and Asadabadi. The strengths and weaknesses of Iran's tax system are analyzed. The results of this study show that although the principles of justice and transparency have been largely implemented in Iran's tax system, excessive complexity, bureaucracy, and the pressure on lower-income classes remain major weaknesses of the system. Finally, suggestions are offered for improving Iran's tax laws based on the theories of Adam Smith and Seyyed Jamaluddin Asadabadi. These suggestions include simplifying tax laws, strengthening oversight and enforcement, adjusting taxes based on the ability to pay, increasing transparency, and utilizing international experiences.
Investigating the Obstacles to Implementing Islamic Economic Laws in Society from the Perspective of the Quran and Nahj al-Balagha
Authors: Paziresh Mahmoud , Fathaliani Hamed , Hosseini Seyed Hamid
Published: September 2024

This article addresses the examination of obstacles to implementing the economic rulings of Islam from the perspective of the Holy Quran and Nahj al-Balagha. The purpose of this research is to investigate the theoretical and practical obstacles in the domain of Islamic economic rulings from the perspective of the divine words of revelation (the Holy Quran) and Nahj al-Balagha. Generally speaking, some of these obstacles are analyzed and interpreted in the epistemological domain; meaning that Islamic economics, as an economic school of thought, is derived from a justice-oriented social system inspired by divine teachings. It differs as an economic doctrine from other economic schools based on human knowledge known as economics. It is evident that this epistemological difference signifies its immunity to the deficiencies and flaws that may occur in the theoretical domain of human knowledge (economics). Another part of these obstacles pertains to the operationalization of Islamic economic laws, which presents itself as a barrier to the execution of these laws and hinders the advancement of implementing Islamic economic rulings in the executive and operational fields. Since the religion of Islam, the Holy Quran, and the tradition of the infallible encompass all aspects of human existence, including livelihood and material life, addressing such challenges is an unavoidable necessity. The researcher in this article aims to explore this issue based on the divine verses in the Holy Quran and the conduct of Imam Ali (AS) in Nahj al-Balagha. The research method in this article is descriptive and analytical, utilizing library resources.
A Comparative Study on the Identification of Instances of Lease Contracts in Iranian and French Law
Authors: Beyranvand Reza , Khoshsolouk rodsari Fereshteh , Setayesh Atena
Published: September 2024

Today, the lease contract is considered one of the most important contracts in contemporary society. In both Iranian and French law, this contract is categorized as a named contract. Given the ever-increasing population growth, large and small cities alike face issues related to residential and commercial tenancies. One of the most critical issues that has been studied and regulated in both legal systems concerning lease contracts is the obligations of the lessor and the lessee. Since the laws related to leasing have been influenced by French law, there are many similarities in the rights and duties of the lessor and lessee, including the right to sell to third parties, the obligation to return the leased property in good condition, the payment of rent, and the avoidance of unnecessary alterations. There is no fundamental difference between these two legal systems; however, there are minor differences in the rights and obligations of the lessor and lessee, such as the determination of rent, interference by third parties, and major repairs. Given the aforementioned points, the identification of the rights and duties of the lessor and lessee is clearly evident, and a precise understanding of the obligations of each party appears to be necessary. This study aims to examine these obligations in the two legal systems through a comparative approach.
Responsibility of the Holding Company for the Debts and Obligations of the Subsidiary Company
Authors: Madadi Sadegh , Hassanzadeh Heidar , Pasban Mohammadreza
Published: September 2024

One of the very important topics concerning the relationships between holding companies and subsidiary companies is the issue of the holding company’s responsibility regarding its subsidiaries. Given the independent legal personality, the question arises: Does the holding company have any responsibility for the actions and obligations of its subsidiary companies? The answer to this question may vary across different legal systems. In this article, an attempt has been made to answer this question by examining the legal systems of several countries and analyzing the relevant legal provisions in Iranian law. Ultimately, after thorough examination, it has been concluded that despite the independent legal personality of legal entities and the fact that in some legal systems, holding companies have been held responsible for their subsidiaries, in Iranian law, due to the lack of explicit legal texts on this matter and the emphasis on the independence of the legal personality of entities, it can be argued that holding companies are only responsible to the extent of a company and shareholder for the actions of the subsidiary.
A Jurisprudential, Legal, and Criminological Analysis of Child Abuse within the Family Environment and Its Distinction from Conventional Child Discipline in Judicial Practice
Authors: Hajiloo Javad , Aminizadeh Mohammad , Alimoradi Amanolah , Shamloo Bagher
Published: September 2024

Numerous judicial rulings have condemned parents for child abuse due to the unconventional nature of their actions. The present study aims to examine the punishment of children from jurisprudential, legal, and criminological perspectives, focusing on when such punishment is considered conventional and what causes and factors contribute to the commission of criminal behaviors against children by parents. This descriptive-analytical research demonstrates that corporal punishment is distinct from child abuse, and there must be a precise boundary to differentiate the two. Although parental and guardian discipline under certain conditions is legal and considered a legal justification, all forms of child abuse are criminal, and its commission by parents and guardians is punishable. It is necessary to either revise laws and regulations to define the conventionality and the authority responsible for its determination, or to remove the justification entirely to prevent it from becoming a pretext for child abuse within the family.

Published: September 2024

The aim of this research is to examine the jurisprudential and legal dimensions of the status of children born from unregistered marriages and to analyze the religious and legal foundations related to this issue. This study seeks to address the legal and social problems and challenges arising from such marriages and to provide appropriate solutions for improving the legal status of these children. The research method employed in this article is descriptive-analytical, based on a review of library resources, scholarly articles, and the existing laws and regulations in Iran and other Islamic countries. Additionally, a comparative analysis with other countries and an evaluation of successful experiences in dealing with unregistered marriages have also been conducted. The findings of this study indicate that unregistered marriages can lead to multiple legal and social problems for both the children and the couples. However, legal reforms and jurisprudential solutions can contribute to improving the legal status of these children. Moreover, the role of social and cultural institutions in reducing unregistered marriages is of significant importance.
The difference between literary and teleological approaches in the interpretation of laws
Authors: Saadounzadeh Javad , Atashaneh Mansour , Alboghbish Sadegh
Published: September 2024

In general, every legal rule needs to be interpreted at the point of implementation, and this is the fact that these rules have different interpretations due to reasons such as brevity and ambiguity. The constitution is not excluded from this general principle, but due to its generality, generality and relative difficulty of its revision and revision, in some cases it is more susceptible to interpretations than other laws. It is clear that every authority to implement the law inevitably interprets it, and in this case, an interpretation may be provided from the same text as many interpreters. Therefore, in case of disagreement between the parties to the law, it should be possible to refer to an official interpretation such as the interpretation of the chapter on speech. The interpreter, in the position of interpreting the law and explaining the legislator's ruling, may consider himself bound by the words and text of the law and has no mission other than to discover the will of the legislator. And justice is important, and as a result, instead of obeying the laws, take a creative or creationist interpretation. It is clear that the position of the law in the eyes of the commentator and the role and mission of the commentator, on the other hand, can suggest very different approaches.

Anniversary and Numerical Worship: Based on Research on Typical Traditional Industries in China
Authors: Zhuang Yan
Published: September 2024

This study demonstrates the impact of special anniversaries and numerical worship on the risk-taking behavior of listed companies in China's traditional industries. We focus on the widespread beliefs in multiples of 5 anniversaries (such as the 5th, 10th, and 20th anniversaries) and the numbers 6 and 8 in Chinese society. Analyzing data from real estate companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange from 2007 to 2019, we find that stock price volatility slightly decreases during special anniversaries but not significantly, suggesting limited influence of superstitious beliefs on corporate decision-making. Further analysis shows that corporate risk-taking behavior does not significantly change during special anniversaries, highlighting the role of market discipline and quantitative analysis in curbing irrational behavior. While some studies suggest that numerical superstition may affect financial decisions of individuals and small businesses, our findings indicate that such influences are mitigated in large and complex organizations. This study provides insights for risk management of listed companies during special anniversaries and recommends that investors focus more on fundamental data and real-time information, avoiding superstition and irrational numerical worship.
