Do Green Bonds Help to Improve Enterprises’ Financing Efficiency? Empirical Evidence Based on Chinese A-Share Listed Enterprises
Authors: Lin Ruxing , Ma Guangcheng , Cao Jianhua
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the relationship between green bonds and enterprises’ financing efficiency. A three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) model and a fixed effects model are used to achieve the research objectives. This paper analyzes the dual dimensions of theoretical analysis and empirical investigation. By fully considering the sub-stages of the financing process, it introduces green bonds into the analytical framework of financing efficiency issues. This paper uses data from China’s A-share listed enterprises from 2000 to 2022, uses a three-stage DEA model to measure the efficiency of each sub-stage of enterprises’ financing, and uses a fixed effects model for empirical testing. The study found that issuing green bonds can significantly improve the financing efficiency of enterprises, especially in the total and repayment stages. Furthermore, this paper uses the intermediary effect model to discuss the inherent mechanism of green bonds affecting financing efficiency. Green bonds promote the financing efficiency of enterprises and promote green transformation by affecting investor recognition and financing costs. However, the impact of green bonds is not obvious during the fund use stage and may be related to transparency and accountability mechanisms. This result indicates that expanding investor recognition, financing costs, and green transformation through green bonds is crucial to successfully promoting financing efficiency. The moderation effect model shows that the effect of green bonds issued by state-owned enterprises and highly polluting enterprises is more significant. This study highlights that green bonds positively impact financing efficiency and help promote sustainable economic development. This study also has policy implications for stakeholders.

Published: August 2024

The efficient operation of multi-reservoirs is highly beneficial for securing supply for prevailing demand and ecological flow. This study proposes a monthly hedging rule-based aggregation–decomposition model for optimizing a parallel reservoir system. The proposed model, which is an aggregated hedging rule for ecological flow (AHRE), uses external optimization to determine the total release of the reservoir system based on improved hedging rules—the optimization model aims to minimize water demand and ecological flow deficits. Additionally, inner optimization distributes the release to individual reservoirs to maintain equal reservoir storage rates. To verify the effectiveness of the AHRE, a standard operation policy and transformed hedging rules were selected for comparison. Three parallel reservoirs in the Naesung Stream Basin in South Korea were selected as a study area. The results of this study demonstrate that the AHRE is better than the other two methods in terms of supplying water in line with demand and ecological flow. In addition, the AHRE showed relatively stable operation results with small water-level fluctuations, owing to the application of improved hedging rules and a decomposition method. The results indicate that the AHRE has the capacity to improve downstream river ecosystems while maintaining human water use and provide a superior response to uncertain droughts.

Published: August 2024

Understanding the complex relationship between ESSD and human well-being is of paramount significance to protecting regional ecology, enhancing human well-being and achieving sustainable development. We take the Yangtze River Economic Belt as an example and use multi-source data to analyse land use and cover change, as well as the spatiotemporal evolution of ESSD and human well-being. We explore and reveal the coupling coordination relationship between ESSD and human well-being. The results show that from 2000 to 2020, the overall trend in ESs in the region improved significantly, and the supply notably increased, whereas the demand growth rate was even more pronounced. The supply–demand ratio for water yield and soil conservation showed little change, with variations of <10%. However, the supply–demand ratio for carbon sequestration declined significantly by 41.83%, whereas that for food supply increased notably by 42.93%. The overall spatial pattern in ESSD presented a mismatch, which was characterised by ‘low supply and high demand in the eastern region and high supply and low demand in the western region’. Overall, human well-being remained stable and was in line with the level of socio-economic development, thereby exhibiting a distinct trend of well-being ‘polarisation between the rich and poor’. Well-being was higher in the eastern and central urban agglomerations and lower in the western plateau and mountainous areas. Over 20 years, the degree of coupling coordination between ESSD and human well-being increased by 0.0107, and the coupling level gradually transitioned from moderate imbalance to moderate coordination. Spatially, Hubei Province, Chongqing Municipality and the Yangtze River Delta were the main ‘high–high’ agglomeration areas, whereas the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau were the main ‘low–low’ agglomeration areas. Based on these findings, we propose the following management recommendations for the Yangtze River Economic Belt and other related great river economic belts: optimise land use structure, rationally allocate natural resources, strengthen regional and external connections and promote regional coordinated development, enhance the implementation of policies for ecological and environmental protection, establish regional ecological compensation mechanisms and coordinate ecological protection in a full scope and focus on harmonising human–land relationships, build a multi-stakeholder collaborative governance mechanism and promote regional ecological protection and the elevation of human well-being.

Published: August 2024

Geothermal energy, with its promise of sustainability and a minimal environmental impact, offers a viable alternative to fossil fuels that can allow us to meet the increasing energy demands while mitigating concerns over climate change. Urban areas, with their large energy consumption, stand to benefit significantly from the integration of geothermal systems. With the growing need to harness renewable energy sources efficiently, the detection of urban subsurface resources represents a critical frontier in the pursuit of sustainability. The Guangdong Bay area, known for its abundant geothermal resources, stands at the forefront of this green energy revolution, so, in our study, we chose to evaluate Zhuhai City, which is a city representative of the resource-rich area of Guangdong. With the progress of geographic information system (GIS) technology, the land surface temperature (LST) has been used to monitor the spatial distribution characteristics of geothermal anomalies. However, relatively few studies have been conducted in the field of urban geothermal resources. In this study, we calculated the LST of Zhuhai City using Landsat 8 remote sensing data and then investigated the distributions of geothermal hot springs. Spatial data layers were constructed, including the geological structure, DEM and derivatives, lithology, and urban regions, and, based on technology with the integration of machine learning, their spatial correlations with geothermal anomalies were analyzed. The support vector machine (SVM) and the multilayer perceptron (MLP) were employed to produce maps of potential geothermal resources, and their susceptibility levels were divided into five classes: very low, low, moderate, high, and very high. Through model interpretation, we found the moderate-susceptibility class to dominate at 26.90% (SVM) and 46.27% (MLP) according to the two models. Considering the influence of artificial areas, we also corrected the original LST by identifying urban areas of thermal anomalies via the urban thermal anomaly leapfrog fusion extraction (UTALFE) method; following this augmentation, the results shifted to 24.16% (SVM) and 28.67% (MLP). Meanwhile, the area under the curve (AUC) values of all results were greater than 0.65, showing the superior performance and the high applicability of the chosen study area. This study demonstrates that data-driven models integrating thermal infrared remote sensing technology are a promising tool for the mapping of potential urban geothermal resources for further exploration. Moreover, after correction, the reclassified LST results of urban areas are more authentic and suitable for the mapping of potential geothermal resources. In the future, the method applied in this study may be considered in the exploration of more southeastern coastal cities in China.
A Mapping of Textile Waste Recycling Technologies in Europe and Spain
Authors: Lanz Inés Eugenia , Laborda Elena , Chaine Cecilia , Blecua María
Published: August 2024

Textiles are composed of different types of fibers; thus, different processes for end-of-life recovery are currently applied. After collection, a prior sorting process is essential to classify the textiles and assess their quality in order to ensure that the best available technology is selected, with mechanical recycling being the most widespread and mature. Nevertheless, it still has important limitations as it is not suitable for the treatment of all fibers, especially those of non-organic origin and blends. On the other hand, chemical recycling appears to be a necessary technology to valorize the fibers that cannot be reused or mechanically recycled and to avoid landfilling. This article aims to provide an overview of the available technologies in the field of textile waste recycling, including collection, pretreatment, and mechanical and chemical recycling processes. Each technology is described identifying pros and cons, and a techno-economical assessment is presented including technology readiness levels (TRLs), investments, and costs. European and Spanish regulations and policies on textile waste are analyzed to identify the trends and directions the sector is moving towards.

Studies on tollbooth workers involving the concentration of metal(loid)s in highway dust are scarce. We aimed to assess the levels of metal(loid)s in soils and washed and unwashed leaves of Brachiaria decumbens on roadsides. Dust deposition and heavy metal content in the leaves are used to estimate the exposure of tollbooth workers to oral, inhalation, and dermal ingestion of metals in highway dust. The concentrations of aluminum (Al), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) in washed and unwashed soil and leaves were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. The results showed that soils along highways had a high concentration of heavy metals. Concentrations of Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, and Pb near the roundabout and tollbooth are higher than the concentrations at the points between them. The highest transfer factor values were determined for aluminum. In the case of the non-carcinogenic effect, the hazard index (HI < 1) of tollbooth workers due to oral exposure to street dust containing metal(loid)s is higher than dermal contact and inhalation. The Incremental Lifetime Cancer Risk showed a high potential carcinogenic risk for As and Cd.

Published: August 2024

The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) belongs to the Arteriviridae family and is a single-stranded, positively stranded RNA virus. The currently available PRRSV vaccines are mainly inactivated and attenuated vaccines, yet none of the commercial vaccines can provide comprehensive, long-lasting, and effective protection against PRRSV. SR717 is a pyridazine-3-carboxamide compound, which is commonly used as a non-nucleoside STING agonist with antitumor and antiviral activities. Nevertheless, there is no evidence that SR717 has any antiviral effects against PRRSV. In this study, a dose-dependent inhibitory effect of SR717 was observed against numerous strains of PRRSV using qRT-PCR, IFA, and WB methods. Furthermore, SR717 was found to stimulate the production of anti-viral molecules and trigger the activation of the signaling cascade known as the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway, which contributed to hindering the reproduction of viruses by a certain margin. Collectively, these results indicate that SR717 is capable of inhibiting PRRSV infection in vitro and may have potential as an antiviral drug against PRRSV.
Combining RNA Interference and RIG-I Activation to Inhibit Hepatitis E Virus Replication

Published: August 2024

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) poses a significant global health threat, with an estimated 20 million infections occurring annually. Despite being a self-limiting illness, in most cases, HEV infection can lead to severe outcomes, particularly in pregnant women and individuals with pre-existing liver disease. In the absence of specific antiviral treatments, the exploration of RNAi interference (RNAi) as a targeted strategy provides valuable insights for urgently needed therapeutic interventions against Hepatitis E. We designed small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against HEV, which target the helicase domain and the open reading frame 3 (ORF3). These target regions will reduce the risk of viral escape through mutations, as they belong to the most conserved regions in the HEV genome. The siRNAs targeting the ORF3 efficiently inhibited viral replication in A549 cells after HEV infection. Importantly, the siRNA was also highly effective at inhibiting HEV in the persistently infected A549 cell line, which provides a suitable model for chronic infection in patients. Furthermore, we showed that a 5′ triphosphate modification on the siRNA sense strand activates the RIG-I receptor, a cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptor that recognizes viral RNA. Upon activation, RIG-I triggers a signaling cascade, effectively suppressing HEV replication. This dual-action strategy, combining the activation of the adaptive immune response and the inherent RNAi pathway, inhibits HEV replication successfully and may lead to the development of new therapies.

Published: August 2024

We conducted a floristic survey of Non-Conventional Food Plants (Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais (PANC)) on the trail of Travessia Petrópolis–Teresópolis in Serra dos Órgãos National Park, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Wild food plants with food potential were collected along a sinuous transect of 27 km in length and 3 m in width. The collected material was identified in virtual herbariums by specialists, and later, a literature review on the food use of the identified plants was carried out. Thus, 90 food and potential food species were identified, belonging to 54 genera and distributed in 34 families present along the trail, including the Asteraceae (10), Begoniaceae (9), Passifloraceae (8), Piperaceae (7), and Cactaceae (6) families, which showed the greatest species richness. We conclude that the diversity of the PANC found in a protected area demonstrates enormous potential for future domestication to produce food from the native flora of Brazil. Another potential use is in educational activities and pedagogical tourism, highlighting the gastronomic dimension of plant diversity present in protected areas.

Published: August 2024

Obtaining accurate bathymetric maps is very valuable for marine environment monitoring, port planning, and so on. Accurately estimating water depth in turbid coastal waters using satellite remote sensing encounters challenges originating from low water transparency, but it is limited by the quantity, quality, and water quality of samples. This study introduces a fast feature cascade learning model (FFCLM) to enhance the accuracy of bathymetric inversion from multispectral satellite images, particularly when limited field samples are available. FFCLM leverages spectral bands and in situ data to derive effective inversion weights through feature concatenation and cascade fitting. Field experiments conducted at Nanshan Port and Rushikonda Beach gathered water depth, satellite, and in situ data. Comparative analysis with conventional machine learning algorithms, including support vector machine, random forest, and gradient boosting trees, indicates that FFCLM achieves lower errors and demonstrates more robust performance across study areas. This is especially more pronounced when using small training samples (
n
< 100). Examination of key parameters and water depth profiles highlights FFCLM’s advantages in generalization and deep-water inversion. This study presents an efficient solution for small-sample bathymetric mapping in turbid coastal waters, utilizing spectral and physical information to overcome sample size limitations and enhancing satellite remote sensing capabilities for shallow water monitoring.

Bactérias ácido-lácticas são microrganismos com diversas aplicações na indústria de alimentos, considerando o potencial tecnológico, o incremento nas características sensoriais dos produtos e a capacidade probiótica de alguns isolados. Alimentos funcionais, além de aplicação nutricional, possuem efeito benéfico à saúde. O objetivo do presente estudo foi selecionar bactérias lácticas isoladas de leite cru de búfala quanto as propriedades tecnológicas e desenvolver sorvete enriquecido com bactéria probiótica Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus LB1.5. Para tanto, BALs foram selecionadas quanto a capacidade proteolítica, capacidade de coexistência com bactérias lácticas, atividade antimicrobiana e antilisteria, estabilidade com conservantes alimentares e viabilidade em sorvete. A proteólise foi avaliada inoculando-se as BAL ágar leite. A coexistência entre as bactérias lácticas foi avaliada pelo método da picada. A atividade antimicrobiana de BALs frente à L.monocytogenes ATCC 7644, E.coli ATCC 10536, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 e Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 foi avaliada pelo método de sobrecamada. As espécies de L.innocua, L.monocytogenes e L.seeligeri também foram empregadas como indicadoras. Os experimentos foram realizados em triplicata e os resultados mensurados pelo halo de inibição de crescimento. Lact. rhamnosus LB 1.5 e Lact. paracasei LB 6.4 foram expostos a nisina, pediocina e conservante sorbato de potássio, através de ensaio de difusão em ágar leite. Por fim, a viabilidade de Lact. rhamnosus LB1.5 em sorvete foi avaliada por 210 dias. Dentre os onze isolados estudados, apenas Lacticaseibacillus sp. M1A3 não apresentou atividade proteolítica. Lact. rhamnosus LB1.5 e Lact. paracasei LB6.4 demonstraram capacidade de associação com Lact. paracasei LB1.4, Lactococcus lactis (L4A8, L4AN1 e L4AN17) e Leuconostoc mesenteroides LB5.5, o que possibilita a aplicação simbiótica destes isolados. Quanto à atividade antimicrobiana, Lact. paracasei LB 6.4 e Lact. rhamnosus LB1.5 inibiram as espécies de Listeria spp., sugerindo potencial bioprotetor. Os resultados evidenciaram sensibilidade de ambas BALs selecionadas à nisina, com halos de inibição de crescimento com diâmetro médio igual ou superior a 11 mm e 18 mm. Porém, pediocina e sorbato de potássio não inibiram o crescimento dos Lactobacillus selecionados, podendo atuar como conservantes associados a estes isolados. Lact. rhamnosus LB1.5 manteve-se viável em sorvete durante os 210 dias de experimento, com valores médios superiores a 107 UFC/mL, possibilitando a aplicação deste em produto como sorvete, além de oferecer benefícios bioprotetores e funcionais ao produto.

The Legionary Movement and the Romanian Society. Interwar landmarks
Authors: Sandache Cristian
Published: August 2024

In the case of the Legionary Movement we could talk about a redefining of an identity of nationalism, which psychologically starts from “inside” of it, in order to transpose itself in the immediate historical plane. The morality proposed by the Legionary Movement is theoretically subsumed to Christian moral. The main doctrinal characteristics of Romanian Legionarism was anti-Communism, anti-Parliamentarianism, anti-Liberalism and anti-individualism, the organicistic collectivism, the cult of the leader, anti-Marxism, the need for moral and spiritual revolution, the cult of the elite and of the new man; but also practices derived from the doctrine: mysticism, conspiratorial organization, quasi-religious rituals, the cult of death and sacrifice, the cult of martyrs, the belief in the legionary generation’s mission to solve the Jewish “problem”, Messianism, the moral regeneration.
The paradox of the parti unifié within the menchum section of the CNU in the cameroon federation
Authors: Ami-Nyoh H.
Published: August 2024

Cameroon gained independence in 1960 and later reunification in 1961 as a multi-party practicing state. The different political parties in both states of East and West Cameroon maintained the traditional antagonism that existed among the various parties prior to independence and reunification of the territory. This party division was interpreted by the nation’s leadership as detrimental to national integration and unity. Consequently, the need for a one party system that would guarantee such a union and fulfill the “greater political desires” of Cameroonians (national unity and integration) emerged. The need to attain this was expressed in the call for and putting in place of a one party system which was styled parti unifié and named the Cameroon National Union (CNU). This paper argues that the existing inter and intra party fragments that existed in multi-party Cameroon, with particular reference to Menchum Section, were inherited by the parti unifié and consequently national unity and integration remained threatened. It asserts that the existence of intra as well as inter party differences in the multi-party setting were rather an opportunity for the country’s leadership to ensure a one party dominance in Cameroon and that for this reason the developmental propaganda of the party was not attained to an appreciable extent (at least in the Menchum Section of the party).
Sinagogile evreiești din Bacău în anii 1940-1941
Authors: BĂLAN Emanuel
Published: August 2024

This paper presents an inventory of the synagogues of the Bacău community during the first two years of the Antonescu regime (1940– 1944). Whereas the number of synagogues fluctuated, during the war, at least in 1940–1941, their number increased, as a result of evictions in the summer of 1941, when all Jews from Bacău County were forced to flee and to settle in the county capital. The inventory of these synagogues provides valuable data on the synagogues’ organization, movable and immovable property, income and expenditure, the number of parishioners and the number and type of religious services held in them. It should be said that some synagogues were requisitioned by the army and by other state institutions, so that their functioning as religious establishments was hampered.

Insects of forensic importance can be attracted to crime scenes, thus aiding in the estimation of post-mortem interval (PMI). For this, knowledge about the entomofauna of each particular region is essential, along with their life cycle, ecological and biological characteristics, and taxonomic identity. This study aimed to survey the sarcophagid flies of the genus Peckia Robineau-Desvoidy occurring in a fragment of the Atlantic Forest in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. For this purpose, pig carcasses were used as bait and monitored throughout their decomposition process during both dry and rainy seasons. Seven species of Peckia were recorded: P. chrysostoma (Wiedemann), P. collusor (Curran & Walley), P. lambens (Wiedemann), P. intermutans (Walker), P. pexata (Wulp), P. anguilla (Curran & Walley), and P. tridentata (Hall). The highest occurrence of Peckia species was observed in the gaseous and initial decomposition phases (dry period), as well as advanced decomposition (rainy period). Temperature, humidity, and rainfall showed a tendency to directly influence the duration of the carcass decomposition phases.

As an effort to improve and catch up on learning loss as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the government has implemented an independent learning curriculum in most educational institutions at various levels. However, as a result of the lack of preparation for the implementation of this curriculum, various problems arose, especially in terms of formative assessment. Problems regarding formative assessment in the implementation of the independent learning curriculum were also experienced by the Kudus Regency History MGMP. The aim of this activity is an effort to reduce partner problems through collaborative activities in the form of community service. The method in this activity is training, followed by post-training assistance. The results of the service activities show that there is an increase in partners' understanding of the preparation of formative assessments for history learning. This is evidenced by the evaluation results in each activity carried out. During the training and mentoring activities, participants were also very enthusiastic and held discussions with resource persons. Thus, it can be said that this activity has a positive impact and changes to partners, especially in terms of preparing formative assessments for learning history.
Content and Value Integrated Learning: Perspectives, Curriculum and Perceptions in the Private University Contexts of Bangladesh
Authors: Begum Fatema , Kamal Md Asif
Published: August 2024

In this consumerist world, the necessity of teaching ethics, values, and humanity seems to secure a marginal space in any curriculum emphasizing only on content teaching of the subjects associated to shape the graduates as sellable candidates in the job market. Since the ultimate vision of teaching and learning is expected to reshape or build ideal human beings with moral, ethical, and humane qualities, the teaching of ethics and values should be integrated along with the content teaching of the subjects in undergraduate programs. Hence, the vision of developing professional ethics, community ethics, self-esteem, personality, and character should be reflected in and taught through the curriculum. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether human values and ethics are emphasized in the objectives of the curriculum and course content of the departments of English in Bangladeshi private universities. This paper also aims to identify the gap created by the absence of humanizing study contents in the undergraduate English program curriculums of private universities in Bangladesh and provide suggestions to fill the vacuum. After the content analysis of collected curriculums, a significant gap in the inclusion of humanizing study contents in these undergraduate English curriculums to develop moral and ethical faculties among the learners was traced. The study came up with suggestions for adjustment in the university curriculum to fill this vacuum by integrating content and value learning together adopting a holistic approach to nurture humane and moral behavior.

Language’s role in society is pivotal. People utilize language, which includes gesture language and spoken, written, and other forms of structured communication to interact with their surroundings. It is considered flouting the conversational maxims when speakers purposefully stray from the accepted conventions of communication, frequently with a goal in mind.
