The Correlation between Macroeconomic Growth in India and the Performance of the Top 1,000 Companies over a 15-Year Period (2009-2023)
Authors: Alruwaily Habibah
Published: December 2024

In this research, we have studied the evolution of the key macroeconomic parameters of the Indian economy, such as its GDP and GDP per capita, by taking the performance of the Indian corporate sector as a proxy. Within the Indian corporate sector, we have taken the top 1000 corporates listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) – a representative set that makes over 90% of the total market capitalization of the NSE companies and spanning over 12 key sectors of the economy – and have assessed their growth, profitability, capital investment, value - creation (as measured by ROIC exceeding the WACC) and market capitalisation trends over the last 15 years, clustered into three eras of five years each. These three eras correspond approximately, and respectively, to the second term of the UPA government during the post - financial crisis years (FY2009 - 2013), the first term of the NDA government (FY2014 - 2018), and the second term of the NDA/BJP government (FY2019 - 2023). The paper establishes how the sector mix of the economy has evolved over the last 15 years and shows clear variation across these sectors on their revenue growth, operational profitability (EBITDA), net profitability (PAT), and ROIC performance. In addition to deriving continued strong growth and profitability, we establish that a greater proportion of the corporates are now creating value, thus enabling them to raise their capital investment intensity, that sets the stage for further growth. We have also established a high - confidence and robust correlation between the absolute GDP (in turn, also the GDP growth) with the underlying revenue pool and EBITDA pool of the top 1000 corporates, with an R - squared value (R2) of 0.98, that provides a strong future predictor of the performance of Indian GDP and GDP growth based on the underlying performance of the top 1000 corporates in India.
The Performance of Waste Marble Instead of Coarse Aggregate
Authors: Hameed Mouhamed
Published: December 2024

Now a days we are faced with an important consumption and a growing need for aggregates because of the growth in industrial production, this situation has led to a fast decrease of available resources. On the other hand, a high volume of marble production has generated a considerable amount of waste materials; almost 70%of this mineral gets wasted in the mining processing and polishing stages which have a serious impact on the environment. The processing waste is dumped and threatening the aquifer. Therefore, it has become necessary to reuse these wastes particularly in the manufacture of concrete products for construction purposes. This experimental study presents the variation in the strength of concrete when replacing aggregates by waste marble from 0% to 100% in steps of 25%, 50%, 75% & 100%. M25 grade of concrete were taken for study of slump value is reducing for more % of replacing the stone dust. The compressive strength of concrete cubes at the age of 7, 14 and 28 days were obtained at room temperature. From test result it was found that the maximum compressive strength is obtained only at 50% replacement of coarse aggregate by waste marble at room temperature. This result gives a clear picture that waste marble can be utilized in concrete mixtures as a good substitute for coarse aggregate giving higher strength.

Analysis of Frost Heaving Force in Seasonal Frost Region Tunnels: A Case Study of the Xiangyang Tunnel in China
Authors: Kong Yimeng , Yu Qingyang , Luo Xinyue , Liu Dong , Zeng Youming , Dai Zhenxue
Published: December 2024

Frost damage in seasonally frozen regions is a primary factor affecting tunnel safety, with frost heaving forces being the main external cause. Therefore, analyzing and calculating the distribution and magnitude of frost heaving forces on surrounding rock is essential for addressing frost damage in tunnels. When the frost heaving force exceeds the design strength, it can lead to the cracking of the lining concrete and a reduction in the tunnel's load-bearing capacity and support stability, posing serious safety risks during construction and operation. This paper is based on the Xiangyang Tunnel project and is grounded in elasticity theory for deriving the frost heaving force formula. Utilizing the von Mises criterion, it employs finite element software to perform thermal-structural coupling analysis, which provides insights into the temperature distribution within the tunnel and the stress distribution patterns of both the lining and the surrounding rock under the influence of frost heaving forces. In the shallow-buried section of the Xiangyang Tunnel, the maximum frost heaving force on the lining is concentrated at the junction of the arch and the base slab. In the deeply buried sections, the distribution of the frost heaving force in the lining is relatively uniform. In contrast, the surrounding rock's frost heaving force distribution follows a layered pattern from the inside out. Beyond a burial depth of 7 meters, the lining and surrounding rock frost heaving forces gradually decrease, approaching a constant value.

Materialism in Chawaka's Philosophy
Authors: Habibi Khatira , Sadam Meena
Published: December 2024

Materialism is the name given to the metaphysical doctrine which holds that matter is the only reality. The doctrine tries to explain mind and consciousness as the products of matter. In general outlook materialism represents the tendency that seeks to reduce the higher to the lower or explain the higher phenomena in the light of the lower ones. In this respect it is opposed to spiritual interpretations of the universe. Though materialism in some form or the other has always been present in India, and occasional references are found in the Vedas, the Buddhistic literature, the Epics as well as in the later philosophical works, we do not find any systematic work on materialism, nor any organised school of followers as other philosophical schools possess. But almost every work of other school’s state for refutation, the materialistic views. Our knowledge of Indian materialism is chiefly based on these. Charvaka was even originally a common description name given to a materialist either because he preaches the doctrine of eat, drink and be merry.1 Some writers again regard Brhaspati as the founder of materialism.

Gender Based Violence in Bhutanese Refugee Camps in Nepal: An Empirical Study from the Sanischar Refugee Camp
Authors: Sriram Landry
Published: December 2024

Gender based Violence (GBV) has been the experience of women worldwide and is a universal reality that has existed in all societies and human settlements regardless of class, income, culture, or educational attainment. It is today recognized as a major issue on the international human rights agenda and has been defined as violence that is directed against a person on the basis of gender and sex. Globally, the refugees experience the full spectrum of gender - based violence throughout their refugee life. Hundreds and thousands of Southern Bhutanese of Nepali origin or the Lhotshampas were forced to flee Bhutan at the beginning of the 1990s, as a result of the ethnic cleansing campaign of the monarchical government of Bhutan. Over 108, 000 refugees had initially settled in the seven refugee camps spread over the districts of Jhapa and Morang in the southeastern part of Nepal. Women were a part of the refugee population who sought protection in Nepal and so refugee women who are living in the makeshift camps in Nepal for more than three decades confront not only the hardship of refugee life in the camps but also face the injustice of gender based violence, as they have reported rape, sexual assault, polygamy, trafficking and domestic violence. Hence, the paper looks into the causes, types and impacts of gender based violence in the Sanischare Bhutanese refugee camps of Nepal.

Purpose: The rapid expansion of urban areas worldwide is widely attributed to the growth of urban populations. The objective of this study is to examine the expansion of urban sprawl in the North Central area of Nigeria, specifically along the Abuja-Keffi highway corridor, over a period of 29 years, from 1991 to 2020.
Methodology: The study utilised satellite imagery from three distinct spatio-temporal intervals (1991–2003, 2003–2015, and 2015–2020) and incorporated three different types of Landsat sensors, namely Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM), Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), and Operational Land Imager (OLI). The study employed image processing and land use classification analysis techniques to generate land use and land cover (LULC).
Results: The analysis of the data reveals that there has been a significant increase in sprawling development along the Abuja-Keffi highway corridor. The built-up area of the region has undergone significant expansion over the past three decades, with the urbanised land area increasing from 1081.98 hectares (4.96%) in 1991 to 10263.15 hectares in 2020, accounting for 47.06% of the total built-up area. The research also documented two distinct forms of urban growth, specifically linear and leapfrog, throughout the corridor.
Applications/Originality/Value: The research recommends regional urban policy, urban growth boundaries as well as effective and efficient development control mechanism in the selected settlements along the corridor. The Abuja Municipal Area Council and Karu Local Government are urged to promote urban renewal and infrastructure development through private partnership, sustainable policies, waste management systems and community engagement.
