Impact of Environmental Degradation on Economic Growth: Testing the Environmental
Authors: Aiyedogbon John O. , Ogwuche David Dauda , Zuhumben Nanbal Joel
Published: September 2024

Looking at the contribution of economic activity in the country, it is seen to add robustness to growth and development, but in contrast give birth to greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as CO2 CO2 which is also called carbon dioxid, CH4 which is also called methane, and N2O represent nitrous oxide. The factors influencing Greenhouse gas emissions include rising of population, upward movement of per capita output and consumption, infrastructural development made about infrastructures, human character, and innovation. However, if mitigation efforts are not enough, climate change would most likely lead to a slowdown the upward movement. Thus, the study examined the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag model and examined the impact of environmental degradation on economic growth in Nigeria from 1990 to 2022 using that lens. Based on the estimated ARDL regression result, environmental degradation as determined by carbon dioxide emissions (kt) and economic growth are negatively correlated. The negative indication indicated that economic growth will decline by roughly -0.455% and -0.893% over the medium and long terms, respectively, as carbon emissions rise. The findings indicated that there is validity to Nigeria’s Environmental Kuznets Curve, which demonstrates how environmental deterioration impedes economic progress. Similarly, a positive indication indicating a one-period lag in carbon emissions showed that, in the short term, economic growth increases by around 0.948% in tandem with rising carbon emissions. Thus, the paper illustrated an inverse U-shaped interaction between environmental degradation and economic growth, with healthy economy initially related with increased emissions. However, the majority of the control variable estimates deviate from theoretical expectations. On the other hand, a positive and statistically significant one-period lagged coefficient of trade openness suggests that trade openness looks to support and encourage economic growth in the short run. Similarly, during the period under consideration in Nigeria, the short-run economic growth is positively and strongly correlated with the one-period lagged coefficient of gross fixed capital formation. The report suggested boosting energy efficiency in the world’s energy mix in order to lower greenhouse gas emissions, which are the main contributors to climate change. Therefore, in order to prevent the development of closed-form relationships that could result in a slowdown in economic growth, Nigerian government agencies that are responsible for implementing national and international environmental rules should proceed with caution.
Svensk mjölkproduktion under 40 år : förhållanden, händelser och konsekvenser, 1980-2020
Authors: Martiin Carin
Published: September 2024

Med fyra decennier av bransch-tidningen Husdjur som huvudsakligt källmaterial fångar här Carin Martiin, agronom, agrarhistoriker och tidigare mjölkproducent, fyra decenniers vardag och dramatik i och omkring de svenska ladugårdarna. Vad är det som har hänt, och hur har mjölkproducenter och olika företrädare för Mjölksverige resonerat? När studien inleds vid årsskiftet 1979/80 har strukturomvandlingen redan gått hårt fram. Hur den skulle fortsätta omforma jordbruket var svårt att föreställa sig, liksom vi idag kan ha svårt att föreställa oss hur historien om svensk mjölkproduktion kommer att fortsätta, och att den kan ta olika vägar. Facit vid utgången av år 2019 visar att antalet kor mer än halverats sedan 1980, endast en av 13 gårdar finns kvar och att den totala mjölkproduktionen minskat. Detta trots bilden av att många producenter haft en stark vilja att fortsätta med korna. Ändå blev det inte så. Strukturrationaliseringen sågs, av olika medverkande i tidningen, som ofrånkomlig. Effektivisering och ökad avkastning upprepades ofta som det enda möjliga sättet för att stärka de kvarvarande producenterna. Man insåg dock inte riktigt att processen skulle fortsätta, och inte heller att de unga duktiga ”framtidsbönderna” med ideala ladugårdar inte skulle vara det för alltid. Insikten om att även duktiga mjölkproducenter åldras har blivit särskilt tydlig genom studiens fyrtioårs-perspektiv. På gårdsnivå kan förändringarna sammanfattas som färre men större mjölkföretag, kraftigt ökat antal kor per besättning; och en intensiv och mycket kapitalkrävande produktion med hög grad av digitalisering och automatisering. Det hela har drivits av två omfattande systemförändringar: en övergång från statligt reglerade priser och inhemskt fokus till exponering för den internationella mejerimarknaden, och ett omfattande teknikskifte i ladugårdarna. Processerna har gått snabbt och deras genomslagskraft var svårförutsägbar. Tidningen målar en bild av att man velat så väl i Mjölksverige. Producenterna har uppmuntrats i termer av framtidstro och svenska värden, och om att ”det blir snart bättre”. Man har också vidarebefordrat en stark självbild. Indirekt har dock formuleringarna indikerat en förståelig oro för framtiden. Sektorns företrädare har också sökt lösningar, även om det är oklart vad man egentligen velat rädda: korna, mjölkbönderna, gårdarna, mjölkavkastningen, den goda osten och/eller jobben runt omkring.

Analysis of Green Intellectual Property Issues and Countermeasures from the Perspective of International Law
Authors: Huang Jiayin
Published: September 2024

As an advanced form of productivity driven by green technological innovation, there exists a natural fit and close connection between new quality productivity and green intellectual property rights. Legal protection is the cornerstone of the development of new productivity, in which the comprehensive protection of intellectual property rights is particularly crucial: green intellectual property rights, as a key force to adhere to sustainable development and promote scientific and technological progress and economic growth, has a central role to play in incentivizing environmental protection as the core of independent innovation, thus becoming an indispensable institutional guarantee for the development of new productivity. This institutional guarantee ensures the legitimate rights and interests of innovation achievements, and is a powerful driving force and a long-term solution for the continuous progress of productive forces. At present, the field of intellectual property cooperation is encountering diversified challenges and problems: the unilateralization caused by some developed countries, the rigidity of international rules on intellectual property, the stagnation behind the digital age, and the imbalance in the distribution of existing international benefits of intellectual property, which should be paid close attention to. In order to effectively promote green technological innovation and escort the green intellectual property protection system to a stable and far-reaching future, countries and enterprises should face the current challenges rationally, correctly understand the differences and conflicts between green intellectual property rights and ordinary intellectual property rights, gain a deeper understanding of the existing relevant international law foundations, and promptly solve the green intellectual property rights issues, improve the relevant international conventions and treaties, strengthen the coordination and cooperation of international organizations, and establish a fair and reasonable green technology patent protection mechanism. fair and reasonable patent protection mechanism for green technology. Only when countries join hands to improve the green intellectual property protection mechanism, jointly combat transnational infringement and maintain a fair market competition environment can the legitimate rights and interests of innovators be safeguarded.
A Study on Translator’s Subjectivity of Dream of Red Mansions Based on Polysystem Theory
Authors: Sun Lixia
Published: September 2024

With the development of The Times, translation studies are no longer limited to text and syntax, but have expanded from in-text studies to out-of-text studies. Translation activities are carried out in two cultural contexts. Therefore, from a new translation perspective, the translation process pays more attention to the target language culture and the influence of various social, cultural and economic factors on translation activities, thus developing the translator's subjectivity. The status of the translator is gradually revealed, which makes the translation closer to the target language culture and expands the target audience. Based on the comparison between traditional translation theory and multi-system theory, this paper takes the translation of Dream of Red Mansions as an example, and has an in-depth study of the translator's subjectivity in the translation process through comparison and analysis, emphasizing the important effect of the translator's subjectivity in translation activities,so as to provide references for how to produce high-quality text translation.
The Procedural Rules of Environmental Administrative Public Interest Litigation Have Been Improved
Authors: Wang Xingyu
Published: September 2024

Environmental administrative public interest litigation plays an important role in promoting the construction of modern environmental governance system and enhancing the ability of ecological environmental protection and governance. However, since the formal establishment of environmental administrative public interest litigation system is relatively late, it is still in the exploratory stage. Therefore, in practice, the main body of environmental administrative public interest litigation is too simple, the judgment criteria for the commencement of litigation proceedings are controversial, and the consultation mechanism in the pre-litigation procedure is not perfect. Based on the fundamental position of ecological protection, considering the particularity of environmental damage and combining with some typical environmental administrative public interest litigation cases, it is proposed to improve the procedural rules of environmental administrative public interest litigation by appropriately expanding the scope of litigation subjects, taking behavioral standards as the judgment criteria for performing duties according to law, and strengthening the consultation provisions of both parties in pre-litigation procedures.

Estimating Determinants of Contractualization of Workers in Organized Sector in India
Authors:   NSHM College of Management and Technology, Kolkata, Ganguly Dr. Chandrima
Published: September 2024

The structural adjustment programme adopted in 1990 led to the removal of all existing pre-reform regulations and restrictions imposed on the Indian industries. This radically transformed India’s trade relations with international markets. The liberalization of Indian economy on one hand accelerated foreign capital as well as technology influx while on the other hand increased competition for the domestic economy. Thus the increased openness and flexibility arising from the economic transformation prompted the domestic producers to resort to alternative informal routes of employment thereby leading to increased contractualization of employment substituting of regular workers by contract workers in the manufacturing industries. Thus this paper is an empirical study which focuses on exploring and identifying the industry specific factors which are affecting the degree of casualization in Organized manufacturing sector of India. Panel regression using STATA has been used and the econometric analysis reveals that average firm size, value of output, capital intensity, profit per worker and welfare benefits for workers have considerable favourable effect on the employment of contractual workers while trade union activity and the ratio of male to female workers employed have significant negative impact on contract worker employment in the manufacturing industries of the organized sector in India. Keywords: contractualization, capital intensity, trade union activity, feminization, panel regression JEL Classification: C33, J21, L60
The Evolution of the International Monetary System: Impacts on Multinational Firms and Global Trade
Authors: Journal IJSREM
Published: September 2024

The International Monetary System is a global system that regulates money transfers between different nations. It includes currency exchange rates, regulation of international payments, legislations on capital movements, and worldwide financial organizations, including the IMF. The paper analyses how the change over time of the International Monetary System (IMS) affects the international trade and MNCs. Thus, from the Bretton Woods new exchange regime established in 1944–1971 to the current floating exchange rate system, it has been analyzed in regard to the IMS's historical development. Because of the increasing volatility in the currency rate, this has consequently had an impact on the stability of international transactions and trade volumes. The IMS study investigates exchange rate systems, capital flow regulations, and the role of international financial organizations, including the IMF. For its methodology, the study resorted to a mixed-method approach, combining numbers analysis-that includes regression models and time- series data on exchange rates, amounts of international trade, and MNC performance-with analysis of the historical record and inspection of IMF policy documents. The study shows that trade goes down during big financial troubles, like the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997 and the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. It also shows that changes in exchange rates make global trade smaller, especially during these crises. Also, while IMF help, such as structural adjustment programs, often causes short-term problems for multinational companies (MNCs), like less foreign direct investment (FDI), these policies usually help stabilize economies and lead to recovery in the long run. The outcomes indicate how the IMS, international trade, and multinational corporations are intertwined. Acquainting oneself with the fluctuating money system is very crucial because it enables a person to make informed decisions about the world economy. Keywords: International Monetary System (IMS), Exchange Rate Volatility, Multinational Corporations (MNCs), International Trade, International Monetary Fund (IMF)

Safe Havens Characteristics of Islamic Stock Indices During Bearish and Bullish Markets: A Case of Developed and Developing Countries
Authors: Alamgir Muhammad , Cheng Ming-Chang
Published: September 2024

Purpose — This study examines the performance of Islamic and conventional indices during bullish (positive) and bearish (negative) markets while the economic and financial conditions are different.
Design/Methodology/Approach — This study uses GARCH (1,1) and wavelet-assisted cross-spectral, cross-correlation analyses to investigate the performance of Islamic and conventional stock indices and study the presence of safe havens, which reflect low volatility in the indices during times of market turbulence, for investors during bearish and bullish periods from 2019–2021.
Findings — The paper finds that there is high and persistent volatility in Islamic indices in bullish markets, while in bearish periods the Islamic indices show low volatility persistence; and conventional indices were highly volatile during crisis periods. Also, the impact of news shocks on Islamic indices was intense before COVID-19, while after that news, shocks had a high impact on the conventional indices. The wavelet coherence analysis shows that there is high coherency between Islamic and conventional indices in developed countries but in developing countries, the opposite prevails.
Originality/Value — The study is the first to use both Generalised Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and wavelet coherence models for examining Islamic and conventional stock indices during bearish and bullish markets, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic era.
Practical Implications — The results conclude that there are safe havens present in Islamic indices in both developing and developed countries, especially the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK), India, and Indonesia, while in other countries the presence is weak. Both GARCH and wavelet coherence models show the same results regarding the presence of volatility and safe havens for investors in different countries.
Waqf and Microfinance Integration for Enabling Sustainable Financial Inclusion: Analysis of Sharīʿah Compliance
Authors: Mikail Sa‘id Adekunle , Djafri Fares , Ahmad Mahadi
Published: September 2024

Purpose — Sustainability has remained one of the most significant challenges facing the microfinance industry, and Islamic microfinance is no exception. The need for Sharīʿah compliance poses an additional challenge for the Islamic microfinance industry. Many practitioners have argued that, in practice, social missions should be sacrificed for profitability so that microfinance institutions (MFIs) could achieve sustainability and competitiveness in the finance market. This paper investigates the potential of integrating waqf and microfinance to allay the challenge of balancing social responsibility (outreach) and financial sustainability within Islamic MFIs. Additionally, it analyses the Sharīʿah compliance requirements underpinning this integration.
Design/Methodology/Approach — This study adopts a qualitative method of inquiry, utilising an inductive approach to understand the conceptual framework of waqf and financial inclusion and in discussing Sharīʿah compliance aspects of socially-oriented instruments in socio-economic development.
Findings — The research finds some historical antecedents to evidence the inherent social mission of waqf which, if integrated with microfinance, ensures the sustainability of Islamic MFIs. This affirms that outreach and sustainability may not be mutually exclusive under waqf and Islamic microfinance integration.
Originality/Value — This study, through historical antecedents and contemporary practices, establishes that waqf and microfinance integration can address the sustainability of the Islamic microfinance industry and preserve its social mission.

Authors: Kurniawan Aznovri , Choiruddin Achmad , Iriawan Nur
Published: September 2024

Purpose — The Islamic banking sector in Indonesia has recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the sector’s resilience to the crisis, Islamic banks have lower levels of profitability than their conventional counterparts. They therefore need to optimise profitability as well as implement sustainability practices due to their high reliance on income from intermediary functions and their core principle of protecting life and preventing harm. This study aims to optimise the post-pandemic profitability of Indonesian Islamic banks while seeking to align profitability with sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Design/Methodology/Approach — The model is developed based on the combination of linear programming and financial analysis, with constraints considering banking regulations and practices. The model highlights financing product types, financing fields of business, and types of deposit products that contribute to higher profits and support sustainability practices.
Findings — The recommended financing product types, financing fields of business, and deposit product types lead to profitability growth of up to 85 per cent, even better than the pre-pandemic performance of Islamic banking and the overall Indonesian banking industry. This research also finds that Islamic banks’ strategy for profit optimisation is consistent with the increasing support for SDGs.
Originality/Value — There is a lack of literature discussing the alignment of Islamic banks’ profit optimisation with the SDGs. This study contributes to the literature by aligning the Islamic banks’ profitability strategy with sustainable financing.
Research Limitations/Implications — The study is expected to promote the implementation of sustainability practices as well as increase the profitability of Islamic banks, drawing from evidence in Indonesia.

Published: September 2024

Purpose — This research intends to explore and develop a blended Islamic social finance-microtakāful business model by integrating Islamic social finance (ISF) instruments into the microtakāful framework to enhance its effectiveness and reach. The main objective of integrating these elements is to recommend a sustainable and inclusive financial solution that is in line with the principles of Islamic finance and will address the needs of unserved and underserved segments of the population.
Design/Methodology/Approach — This study employed desk research to develop a blended ISF-microtakāful model. It involved reviewing literature to assess existing models and best practices, benchmarking their effectiveness, and analysing successful implementation approaches. Insights were used to create a framework integrating Islamic finance tools with microtakāful, followed by recommendations for a sustainable and inclusive financial solution.
Findings — The study portrays a conceptualised blended ISF-microtakāful business model which incorporates ISF instruments into the microtakāful model with an illustration of the business case in the context of the pandemic.
Originality/Value — Though microtakāful has been accepted as a mode for providing takāful services to low-income individuals, limited research is available on how it can be blended with traditional ISF instruments such as zakat (obligatory alms), ṣadaqah (voluntary charity), and waqf (Islamic endowment). This makes the model proposed in the research novel. The originality of this research lies in its pioneering exploration of the synergies between ISF and microtakāful, opening up new avenues for research and practical implementation in the field of microtakāful.

Published: September 2024

With the rapid pace of urbanization, campuses are confronted with the challenge of increasingly limited land resources. Traditional campus planning has proven inadequate in meeting the growing educational demands. In this context, exploring the feasibility of repurposing industrial heritage sites for campus space has emerged as a crucial research topic, offering valuable opportunities to expand campus facilities. This paper takes the regeneration design of industrial heritage along the Jiangsu Canal as an illustrative example and analyzes its potential value, modes of reuse, and design strategies. It further investigates how these sites can be transformed into educational spaces within a campus setting. Through practical applications in industrial heritage regeneration design, this paper explores three dimensions: adaptive integration with external spatial environments, functional replacement within internal structures, adaptive reconstruction of space layouts, and renewal of architectural forms. Ultimately, feasible strategies for regenerating and expanding industrial heritage into campus spaces are summarized herein, providing novel ideas and methodologies for future campus expansion endeavors. Concurrently, we hope to raise awareness among all sectors of society regarding the protection and reuse of industrial heritage while collectively promoting sustainable development in this field.

The purpose of this paper was to reveal the effects of pressure and time on the surface roughness (Ra) and compare the experimental design (Factorial Regression) and machine learning (ML) of steel mold workpieces. Methodology began with turning, and fine sandpaper P180 to P1200 and measured with an initial value of Ra compared with the final value of Ra at the end of the two-way prototype AFM process. The process parameters are as follows; abrasive particle size (alumina; Al2O3) 5.0 μm in Silicone Oil (concentration 50% by weight) at pressures (p) of 10 bar and 20 bar, processing time (t) 5, 15, and 25 min, specimens P20 Mold steel. The experimental results show that under these conditions. The average surface roughness of the specimens differed from the initial value by Ra 0.034 to 0.021 μm, with delta values ranging from 0.011 μm to 0.005 μm. The results showed a smoother profile between before and after polishing. The approach to the topic is DOE and ML, and the theoretical or subject scope of the paper is Statistical and AI. The original value of the paper is applied to the ESP32 Arduino to control and display critical parameters. A General Factorial Regression statistical value of 76.39% is acceptable. A pressure factor of 20 bars and a time of 25 minutes gives the best effect on surface roughness. ML assisted in predicting the Surface Roughness for optimization based on the experiment.

This study investigates the impact of personal characteristics (PER), personal environment (PEV), individual factors (INF), and urban development (DEV) on the quality of life (QoL) in the northeastern (Isan) region of Thailand, specifically focusing on Roi Et Province. The research employs a quantitative approach using stratified random sampling to select a sample of 400 individuals from a population of just over 1 million residents. Data analysis was conducted using LISREL 9.1 for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) to explore the relationships between the variables. The results reveal significant positive relationships between the studied variables and their influence on public services. Personal characteristics showed a moderate positive effect on QoL, highlighting the importance of gender and community relationships. The personal environment significantly impacted QoL, emphasizing the role of supportive living conditions. Individual factors were crucial for QoL, indicating the significance of societal roles and personal well-being. Urban development directly influenced QoL, suggesting that well-planned infrastructure enhances residents' QoL. These findings align with the Social Determinants of Health framework and New Urbanism theory. This research underscores the multifaceted nature of QoL determinants in rural settings, demonstrating that both individual and environmental factors contribute to residents' well-being. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners, suggesting that enhancing personal and environmental factors, alongside strategic urban development, can significantly improve the quality of life in rural areas.
