Decolonial climate finance in practice: assessing proposed reforms
Authors: Ghosh Emily , Shawoo Zoha , Nazareth Anisha
Published: January 2025

In this working paper, we develop a set of guiding questions for determining the extent to which international finance reforms are decolonial and tackle the deep imbalances of power between the Global North and Global South. We then apply these questions to one such proposal, the Bridgetown Initiative. Throughout this paper we use the IMF classification of advanced economies as a proxy for the Global North, with all other countries being the Global South.

Key messages
• The funding and distribution of climate finance are predominantly controlled by the Global North and powerful entities less affected by climate change. Thus far, existing climate finance mechanisms have been unsuccessful in raising sufficient funds and distributing the funds to those that need it the most.
• Calls for “decolonizing” climate finance are gaining traction in order to embed the Global South, Indigenous Peoples and marginalized communities in decision-making around climate finance, including: who contributes towards climate finance; the instruments used to distribute climate finance; who receives the funds; how it is accessed; and the projects and initiatives it goes towards.
• The Bridgetown Initiative proposes a set of reforms targeting the international financial architecture – particularly the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and multilateral development banks – to make them more fit-for-purpose through reducing the debt crisis in Global South countries and enabling them to better respond to the climate crisis.
• Despite being led by Global South priorities, the Bridgetown Initiative has been criticized for not including sufficient measures for debt cancellation or scaling up grants-based finance, placing too much emphasis on the private sector for providing climate finance and ignoring both the role of public climate funds and the need for climate finance to adhere to principles of historical responsibility.
• In addition to existing proposed reforms, measures such as debt cancellation, scaling up grants-based public finance, implementing tax and trade reforms, and channelling increased finance to the local level are needed to tackle the coloniality of the international financial architecture.

This study investigates the impact of untreated textile dye effluents on soil in Thangallapally village, located 6 kilometers from Siricilla district headquarters. The village is surrounded by textile industry that discharges wastewater directly into open land, subsequently, it impacts the near area soil fertility. Soil samples were collected from agricultural fields which impacted with dying effluents and analyzed for their physicochemical properties. Parameters such as pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Water Holding Capacity (WHC), Organic Carbon (OC), Organic Matter (OM), Bicarbonates, Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Sodium (Na), Phosphates, and Potash were examined using standard protocols.
The results revealed significant differences between contaminated (dying impacted area) and non-contaminated (Not impacted by dying effluents) soils. Contaminated soil exhibited higher pH, EC, bicarbonates, calcium, magnesium, and sodium levels, and slightly elevated organic matter, reflecting the adverse effects of effluent irrigation. In contrast, non-contaminated soil demonstrated balanced pH, reduced salinity, and lower concentrations of potentially harmful elements, making it more suitable for agriculture. This study emphasizes the need for effective management strategies, including effluent treatment and soil remediation, to mitigate environmental impacts and preserve soil health in industrially influenced agricultural regions.

Published: January 2025

Social media serves as a relatively inexpensive platform for organisations to implement advertising and marketing campaigns. With the advent of the Internet and the development of Web 2.0, there is a palpable shift in the control of communication and of course, advertising. The study examined the influence of influence of Aquafina social media advert on Lead City undergraduates buying behaviour. The theory of reasoned action and elaboration likelihood model provided the theoretical framework for the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted, and 388 respondents were randomly selected to form the sample. A self-structured questionnaire was used to gather the data. The collected data were presented and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results obtained revealed that majority of respondents were minimally exposed to Aquafina contents on their social media timelines. The study revealed that majority of respondents purchased Aquafina products because of their perceived quality, highlighting the importance of product quality in driving purchasing decisions… Findings further revealed that majority of respondent do not find Aquafina’s social media adverts appealing and engaging, indicating a lack of effectiveness in capturing audience attention. It was further revealed tha majority of respondents believed that the price of the product do not influence their decision to buy Aquafina, indicating that price sensitivity is a significant factor affecting purchasing decisions. The study concluded that social media platforms play a pivotal role in shaping consumer engagement and brand perception. Findings revealed that most respondents purchased Aquafina independently of external factors, while many chose it for its quality. The study recommends that Aquafina should increase the frequency and targeting precision of its social media advertisements to ensure wider and more consistent reach across all user segments.

Authors: ZUCZEK Olga
Published: January 2025

The growing emphasis on sustainable development has driven the incorporation of social and environmental considerations into project management. Nonetheless, the current literature lacks comprehensive studies examining the role of socially responsible accounting in the assessment of sustainable projects. This study seeks to address this gap by investigating how socially responsible accounting—particularly in terms of social and environmental costs—can enhance decision-making in sustainable project management. Through a review of existing frameworks and case studies, this research explores the contribution of socially responsible accounting to the evaluation of sustainable projects. The findings indicate that traditional accounting practices fall short in supporting sustainable project evaluations, whereas socially responsible accounting provides a more comprehensive perspective, enabling organizations to make better-informed decisions. This study underscores the importance of integrating broader sustainability metrics into accounting practices to more effectively align with the objectives of sustainable development.

The study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) in a sample of students (N=910; 510 males and 400 females) from various Romanian universities. The construct validity was investigated through the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the multigroup-CFA. The scale was associated with instruments that measure the psychological state of well-being (Short psychological well-being) and curiosity (Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II). The WLEIS reliability was calculated by using McDonald’s omega and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. The result supports the scale’s 4-factor structure in accordance to the original model. Configural, metric, scalar and strict gender invariance were achieved. Internal consistency coefficients proved to be excellent across all 4 subscales and for the emotional intelligence global index. The instrument showcases significant positive correlations with psychological well-being, curiosity, and all of the two variable’s dimensions. WLEIS illustrates robust psychometric properties capable of evaluating the students’ emotional intelligence.

Published: January 2025

Counselling services are valuable for higher education students, but undergraduate science students often neglect them despite needing counselling assistance. This results in wasted resources and unaddressed counselling concerns, ultimately hindering students' academic performance. This study aimed to examine the attitudes and perceptions of undergraduate science students regarding academic counselling services in West African higher education institutions. Using a survey research method, data were gathered through open-ended and closed-ended questionnaires from university students in Ghana and Nigeria. One hundred and four undergraduate science students from two public institutions participated in the research. Responses were analysed using thematic analysis and percentage distribution. The research showed that undergraduate science students generally showed a positive attitude towards seeking academic counselling services on their campuses. Students also acknowledged the potential benefits of seeking counselling, such as enhancing academic confidence and decision-making abilities, building practical time management skills, and addressing personal, social, and emotional issues. However, their perceptions of the institutional academic counselling services were unfavourable due to several barriers that hindered their full participation in the provided institutional assistive services. It is therefore recommended that institutional administrators consider establishing informed policies and methods that address students' attitudes and views towards counselling to boost the use of counselling services among science students on West African university campuses. This can be done by cooperating with academic counsellors and addressing science students' difficulties in using these services. By doing so, students' motivation to use counselling services can be increased, leading to better outcomes.

Acts of self-harm are important risk factors for suicide, regardless of whether there is intent to die. Adolescents (15-19 years old, n=131) and young adults (20-24 years old, n=91) were assessed between 2009-2018. There is a statistically significant association between aged 20-24 years old patients and depressive episode, respectively, patients aged 15-19 years old, and personality disorder (p=0.000). There was no statistical significance between the two groups, regarding the method of self-harm. The most cases of patients aged 20-24 years were hospitalized, probably due to the severe psychiatric symptomatology at these patients. Youth stage is a time when self-harm is the most common way of coping when confronting with negative feelings.

Authors: Namoog Samuel , Abubakari Zakaria
Published: January 2025

With a focus on the mediating roles of technological innovation and human capital development, this study examines how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sustainability variables affect long-term economic growth in Ghana. The study is guided by the Human Capital Theory. The World Development Indicators (WDI) is the source of the secondary data used. The study adopted quantitative research design using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in examining the relationships between technological innovation, human capital development, economic growth, and ESG variables. According to the analysis, governance factors significantly affect Ghana's economic growth, whereas social and environmental factors have little discernible direct influence. However, the study revealed that technological innovation and the human capital development serve as indirect drivers of economic growth, underscoring the importance of these mediating variables in the Ghanaian context. The government of Ghana is advised to create governance frameworks, promote the incorporation of ESG principles into corporate operations, and allocate funds for technological innovation, healthcare, and education. Enhancing governance frameworks, incorporating social and environmental considerations into economic plans, and creating an environment that supports technological innovation should be top priorities for policymakers. By highlighting the critical role that governance plays in the economic development of developing countries, this study adds to the body of literature, the impact of ESG sustainability on economic growth in Ghana with human capital development and technological development as mediating factors.

Published: January 2025

The goal of this research was to investigate the influence of gross capital formation on economic growth in Tanzania.  Neoclassical Growth Model was used in this study. The quantitative research approach was used in this study. This study adopted a longitudinal research design, while a documentary review was employed to get secondary data from specific sites. The analysis relied on secondary data on private and public investment. Following the determination of the model's assumptions, a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) was used. Because the data were presented in the form of a time series, stationarity was investigated. This was followed by a unit root test, then a cointegration test. Consideration is given to validity, reliability, and ethical considerations. The study revealed that there is positive association between gross capital formation and economic growth in Tanzania, also the study revealed that there is positive association between government consumption expenditure and economic growth in Tanzania. The study concluded that the economic growth is significantly impacted by gross capital formation. The study recommends that the government should focus more on the implementation and development of policies and strategies pertaining to the fees and charges paid to the government at all administrative levels. It also suggests that penalties be imposed in order to increase capital formation for private and public companies.

THE INFLUENCE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROFESSIONAL AND CREATIVE SKILLS OF FUTURE POP ARTISTS
Authors: Osserbayeva Zh , Shindaulova R
Published: January 2025

AI is also changing how aspiring pop artists go about developing the professional and creative skills. This article studies the impact of AI on art skill acquisition and artistic innovation in terms of AI developmental tool and creative collaborator. Through a mixed-methods study with 50 participants, half used AI tools for music production, composition, and visuals in the experimental group, while the control group used more traditional processes. Both groups underwent structured training sessions over a three-month period, and their outputs were scored in terms of technical quality and creativity. Results showed that an AI-aided group 40% higher in technical proficiency than a control group, and an AI-aided group produced more innovative and thematically complex creative outputs than a control group. AI tools made myriad technical processes more fluid, allowing participants to spend time on high-level creative choices while also offering real-time feedback and automating time-consuming tasks. Qualitative analysis showed that AI gave participants the power to experiment and innovate, making them feel more confident and encouraging them to reduce entry barriers. However, a few users also raised concerns about too much reliance on AI and how the technology might homogenize artistic output. The study reveals AI’s potential to democratize access to professional tools and resources, expand boundaries of creative exploration, and transform skill development in music education. Simultaneously, it highlights the need for balanced integration, so that AI augments human creativity rather than displaces it. In the future, further studies should investigate the long-term consequences of AI utilization for artists and their audiences, while creating more custom-fit tools that correspond to the artist's vision. This investigation confirms the disruptive nature of AI in the arts ecosystem as a scalable yet effective answer for acquiring technical and creative competences while ensuring human creativity agency remains intact.
MODERN TRENDS IN ART HISTORY: FROM CRITICISM TO ANALYSIS
Authors: Dandybayeva G , Kabakçi Bekir
Published: January 2025

In this essay, I discuss the latest directions in art history that have changed significantly from conventional systems of analysis and critique.

This book analyzes their impact on the ways in which art history is being transformed and reshaped: a process that brings us closer to seeing it as an unstable construct, always remade each time we reinvent or even cry out "the end" of course.

The article introduces the issue in context of academics, drawing attention to how older methodologies that simply seek formal or aesthetic analyses have become outdated.

The research proceeds to the methodological framework employed here for analyzing these trends: a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods through which we hope to offer an overview of how art history is changing.

They began by reviewing the literature in this area, developing a theoretical model encompassing formalism, iconography and semiotics, then tested with statistical analysis.

The research reinforces the shift towards interdisciplinary methods of art historical enquiry, an understanding that context shapes artistic production and a notable rise in scholarship on sociologically unrepresented voices — non-Western art, female artists and LGBTQ+ lived experience.

The findings from this field indicate that these new tendencies are broadening art history and contesting old historical canons, as well as established structures of the discipline. We close with a discussion on the general implications of these findings, contrasting them to past research and identifying trends that underscore art history as moving from connoisseurship towards critical analysis. In conclusion, the fact that these trends shape literature coming up in future paper was stated as novelties and implications of this research.

Abstract. This study presents a 35-year snow phenology record for the Yukon River Basin (YRB), developed using a Random Forest (RF) model at a 3.125 km resolution, capturing detailed trends in snowmelt onset and snowoff. The RF model, incorporating dynamic daily variables, improves upon traditional threshold-based methods by reducing sensitivity to transient thaw events and atmospheric noise. Model evaluation against station observations yielded a mean absolute error (MAE) of 11.6 days and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 14.9 days for snowmelt onset. For snowoff, the model achieved a MAE of 18.1 days and an RMSE of 21.3 days. This approach successfully mapped snow phenology across the diverse YRB landscape, providing valuable insight into how variations in snow cover align with regional climate patterns. Challenges such as sample bias due to limited ground-based data coverage highlight the need for expanding in-situ measurements, to improve model performance further. Trend analysis segmented by two timeframes, 1988–2005 and 2006–2023, revealed distinct climate impacts on snow phenology. During 1988–2005, high snowfall and stable temperatures resulted in hastened snowmelt onset and lengthened snowmelt durations, reflecting early-season snow abundance. In contrast, from 2006–2023, warming spring and summer temperatures corresponded with progressively earlier snowmelt onset and snowoff. These shifts in snowmelt patterns align with a lengthened snow-free season, indicating increasing influence of warmer temperatures on the snowpack. This RF-derived dataset provides an essential tool for tracking climate-driven snow changes, offering insights into hydrologic and ecologic dynamics in the YRB under accelerating climate change.

Abstract. Borehole thermometry is an important tool for reconstructing past climate conditions, assessing changes in land energy storage, and understanding subsurface thermal regimes such as permafrost and glacial dynamics. Optimizing the temperature sensor placement within boreholes allows us to maximize the informativeness of temperature measurements, particularly in polar regions where operational constraints necessitate cost-effective solutions. Traditional sensor placement methods such as linear or exponential spacing, often overlook site-specific subsurface heat distribution characteristics, potentially limiting the accuracy of the measured temperature profile. In this paper, we propose a greedy optimal sampling technique for strategically placing temperature sensors in ice boreholes. Utilizing heat transfer model simulations, this method selects sensor locations that minimize interpolation errors in reconstructed temperature profiles. We apply our approach to two distinct borehole sites: EPICA Dronning Maud Land site in East Antarctica and the Greenland Ice Core Project site, each with unique surface conditions. Our results demonstrate that the greedy optimal sensor placement significantly outperforms conventional linear and exponential spacing methods, reducing sampling errors by up to a factor of ten and thus achieving similar informativeness with fewer sensors. This strategy offers a cost-effective means to maximize the information obtained from borehole temperature measurements, thereby potentially enhancing the precision of climate reconstructions.

Abstract. Air pollution in cities seriously impacts public health and regional climate. Turbulent mixing plays a crucial role in pollutant formation and dissipation, yet current atmospheric models struggle to accurately represent it. The intensity of turbulent mixing varies with model resolution, which has rarely been analyzed. To investigate turbulent mixing variations at multi-resolutions and their implications for urban pollutant transport, we conducted numerical experiments using WRF-Chem at 25 km, 5 km, and 1 km resolutions. The simulated meteorological fields and black carbon (BC) concentrations are compared with observations. Differences in turbulent mixing across multi-resolutions are more pronounced at night, resulting in noticeable variations in BC concentrations. BC surface concentrations decrease as resolution increases from 25 km to 5 km and further to 1 km, but are similar at 5 km and 1 km resolutions. Enhanced planetary boundary layer (PBL) mixing coefficients and vertical wind flux at higher resolutions reduce the overestimation of nighttime BC surface concentrations. The 1 km resolution parameterized lower PBL mixing coefficients than 5 km but resolved more small-scale eddies, leading to similar near-surface turbulent mixing at both resolutions, while the intensity at higher altitudes is greater at 1 km. This caused BC to be transported higher and farther, increasing its atmospheric lifetime and column concentrations. Variations in mixing coefficients are partly attributed to differences in land use and terrain, with higher resolutions providing more detailed data that enhanced PBL mixing coefficients. This study interprets the impacts of turbulent mixing on simulated urban pollutant diffusion at multi-resolutions.

Abstract. Algal blooms in lakes result in large amounts of labile carbon being transported down the water column towards the sediments, often resulting in temporary water column hypoxia. The algal biomass is deposited at the surface sediments, where it is degraded by the microbial community. Negative effects of algal blooms and biomass depositions are sometimes mitigated by pumping air or oxygen into the bottom waters of lakes. The fate of the algal biomass, in terms of greenhouse gas release, is however often unknown. We investigated methane emissions from sediments originating from both a eutrophic and oligotrophic lake and tested the effect of additional algal C inputs. Additionally, we investigated the effect of a pulse supply of oxygen, a mediating measure that is currently being used in the investigated eutrophic lake. Our results show a difference in the control experiments based on the state of eutrophication, but the methane release from new algal biomass additions was the same, although the process proceeded more rapidly in the eutrophic sediments. A 3-week pulse of oxygen lowered the emitted methane from both types of sediments by 50 %, not only reducing the emissions of algal biomass additions, but also reducing methane emissions from the experiments without fresh organic matter inputs. This effect was relatively long-lasting: its effects were visible for several weeks after anoxic conditions were re-established, making it a potentially interesting measure to lower methane emissions over a longer period.
