Objective: To evaluate the histological features of the placentae and the degree of expression in the endothelial cells of the placental vessels of the endothelial marker CD34+ in women with anaemia and multiple births in the anamnesis. Methods: The subject of the study was placenta of 12 women with anemia and 6 healthy women. Evaluation of endothelial marker CD34+ expression was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively using the computer image analysis system «Morphology 5.0». Results: Patients with anaemia had expressed and moderately showed changes in the vascular bed of the chorion, regardless of the severity of the anaemia. With moderate anemia, there was chronic placental insufficiency (CPI) with a predominance of hypoplastic form. The revealed decrease in the expression of CD34+ in the placentae of women with anaemia confirms the disturbances in the functions of the vascular bed. Conclusion: Women with anaemia are disturbed by vascular adaptation during pregnancy, leading to CPI, the intensity of which increases as anaemia worsens. Keywords: Anaemia, placental insufficiency, histological and immunohistological studies of the placenta, endothelial marker CD34+..

Objective: To improve the results of treatment of peristomal complications (PC) in children Methods: The results of treatment of 120 patients with artificial external intestinal fistulas of various etiologies at the age from 1 year to 15 years are studied. PC was noted in 26 patients, which was 21.7%. The most frequent PC were: intestinal eventration, stomal prolapse, retraction of the stoma, intestinal necrosis, stenosis of the stoma, inflammatory changes in the skin of the peristomal region, irritation and maceration of the skin around the fistula, etc. Results: With each type of PC, the treatment tactic was individual. Surgical correction of the PC was carried out by 8 patients out of 21. Two patients underwent dissection of the stoma with stenoses. Reconstructions of the stoma were performed in 6 cases: 2 patients with necrosis of the stoma, 2 – in connection with the retraction of the stoma and 2 – the reconstruction was performed in connection with the intestinal eventration. The remaining 13 patients of PC were corrected by conservative methods with the use of modern means of care for intestinal fistulas. Conclusion: Timely diagnosis and correction of the PC in children with external artificial small intestinal fistulas positively affected the further fate of the child and the results of a radical operation of the underlying disease. Multi-stage correction of pathology and inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal are the cause of long-term rehabilitation, large financial expenses. One of the most important tasks of this problem is undoubtedly the provision of qualified medical care to the children who carry the stoma and the education of the parents, as well as the patients themselves, to care for the intestinal stoma. These measures, undoubtedly, will allow avoiding a number of various peristomal complications, tactical and technical mistakes. Keywords: Stoma, intestinal fistula, peristomal complications, treatment.

Objective: To study the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) among employees of medical organizations (EMO) of the Kyrgyz Republic (KR) in 2015-2017. Methods: The analysis is subject to the state reporting forms № 17 "On medical personnel" and № 8 "About diseases with active tuberculosis" for 2015-2017, the electronic database of new cases of TB in EMO in 2015-2017. The data processing was used the SPSS-16. Results: Morbidity rates of TB in EMO in the KR in 2015 and 2016 years exceeded the epidemic dangerous threshold for TB (50.0 per 100,000 people) by 37.4% and 13.4%, respectively. The incidence of TB in the EMO of the tuberculosis-care service in 2015 was 3.3 times higher than that of the EMO of the general treatment network, and in 2016 – 1.5 times. More commonly infected with TB the EMO, professionally closely contacting patients in the provision of medical care or in the care of them, or working in epidemically dysfunctional regions. The highest rates of TB morbidity were registered in Osh (2015 – 123.5, 2016 – 125.0 and 2017 – 92.6 per 100 thousand EMOs, respectively). Conclusion: The high rate of TB morbidity among RMS is due to: the unfavorable situation of TB in the Kyrgyz Republic, the high degree of risk of infection in the performance of their professional duties and the lack of adequate levels of alertness among employees, the insufficient level of their TB awareness, errors in compliance with the rules of infectious control regulations in medical organizations. Keywords: Tuberculosis, morbidity, employees of medical organizations.

Objective: Assisting to medical workers both of phthisiology institutions and primary health care in identifying and timely diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) in children. Methods: The data of state statistics analyzed on the total number of detected cases of tuberculosis and the number of identified cases of tuberculosis among children in the Republic of Tajikistan for 2013-2017. In addition, during the same period studied the data of all patients treated by tuberculosis at the Dushanbe City Children's Tuberculosis Hospital. Results: The ratio of active TB among children and adults in the period 2013-2017 ranged from 10.8% to 11.8%. The ratio of the number of sick children with multiple drug resistance of TB (MDR) to the total number of cases of child TB in the same period showed a tendency to increase from 4.3% to 6.5%. In 2017, the incidence of pulmonary TB with MBT (+) was 54.8%, including 16% for children aged 0-4 years, 37.5% for 5-14 years, and 69.3% for children aged 15-17 years. Conclusion: The tuberculosis process in children has its own features. Timely diagnostics, including the induced collection of bronchial secretion and application of the latest genetic technologies, greatly accelerates the verification process of the diagnosis and detection of both sensitive and resistant forms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. There is an increase in the primary drug resistance of TB among children, which again confirms the need for a thorough examination of all contact persons.

التحكيم كآلية بديلة في حل المنازعات التجارية والاستثمارية في إقليم كوردستان العراق (بحث مقارن)
Authors: Hasan Rasol Luqman , Salim Murad Mukhlis
Published: March 2023

تتنوع الوسائل التي يمكن أن تلجأ إليها الأطراف في عقود الاستثمار لتسوية المنازعات الناشئة عنها، إلا أن التحكيم يعد في الوقت الحاضر طريقة مقبولة لتسوية تلك المنازعاات، حيث أنها وسيلة فعالة لحسم المنازعات بين المستثمرين، فالقضاء صاحب الاختصاص الأصيل في تسوية المنازعات لا يوفر في نظر المستثمرين وخصوصاً الأجانب، الضمانة الفعالة لفض المنازعات بشكل حيادي تجاه حكومة الدولة المضيفة، فضلاَ عن سرعة حسم المنازعات والسرية اللازمة للأطراف المتنازعين التي يمتاز بها التحكيم والتي تتناسب مع طبيعة الاستثمار والتجارة مقارنة بالقضاء الطبيعي.

وعلى الرغم من أهمية موضوع التحكيم في عقود الاستثمار وازدياد اللجوء إليه كنظام لحسم منازعات الاستثمار وبالرغم من اهتمام المشرع العراق وإقليم كوردستان، إلا أن هذا الاهتمام ليس بالقدر الكافي مقارنة بأهمية موضوع التحكيم في عقود الاستثمار، ولا توجد لحد الآن تشريعات خاصة بالتحكيم في النظام القانوني العراقي وإقليم كوردستان - العراق.

ومن خلال دراسة التشريعات العراقية، يتبين لنا بأن قانون المرافعات المدنية العراقي نظم موضوع التحكيم الوطني دون الإشارة إلى التحكيم الدولي. ولكن قانون الاستثمار العراقي يسمح لطرفي العقد اختيار التحكيم التجاري الدولي كوسيلة لحسم المنازعات التي تنشأ بينهما. كما نظم قانون الاستثمار في إقليم كوردستان موضوع التحكيم الدولي بشكل آخر، وقد أجاز التحكيم المبينة أحكامه وفقاً لأحكام تسوية المنازعات الواردة في الاتفاقات الدولية أو الثنائية، وفي قانون النفط والغاز رقم (22) لسنة 2007  اتجه المشرع الكوردستاني إلى التحكيم باتفاق الطرفين حول تسوية النزاعات بين حكومة إقليم كوردستان والطرف المستثمر فيما يتعلق بتفسير أو تطبيق شروط الإجازة إذا لم يحسم النزاع عن طريق المفاوضات.

ومن خلال دراسة موقف المشرع سواءً في العراق أو في اقليم كوردستان، نجد أن المشرع قد أخرج النظام القانوني للتحكيم الاستثماري من القواعد القانونية العامة إلى القواعد القانونية الخاصة بقانون الاستثمار وقانون النفط والغاز، وهكذا يحيل المشرع موضوع تسوية المنازعات بين المستثمرين إلى التحكيم التجاري الى جانب القضاء. ولكن لم نجد تشريعات خاصة بالتحكيم سواءً التحكيم الداخلي أم الدولي في العراق وإقليم كوردستان.

Published: March 2023

Permits are a legal instrument the government uses to control certain activities. The existence of warehouses in the City of Bandar Lampung that do not yet have permits has resulted in problems with public order and peace. This research will discuss the arrangement of warehousing permits in Bandar Lampung and the implications of issuing warehousing permits for public order and peace. This research uses a normative method by examining Government Regulation Number 29 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of the Trade Sector and an empirical approach using the case study method with a qualitative approach and determining informants based on purposive sampling. The findings obtained in this study were that initially, the warehouse owned by PT YHB (Limited Liability Company Yonatama Harry Bersaudara) did not have a permit. Still, after receiving protests from people who felt disturbed, the warehouse only had a permit. In fact, before the warehouse was used, it should have had a permit. The issuance of the warehouse permit, this justifies the warehouse owner's non-compliance with the licensing regulations. The positive impact on the community is the creation of jobs and an increase in the community's economy and local revenue for the City of Bandar Lampung. In contrast, the negative impact is noise, hampered mobility and damage to roads that disturb the community and changes in regional spatial planning.

This research examines the implementation of Diversion strategies, which address cases involving child perpetrators outside the judicial process while aiming to protect their legal rights and future interests. Specifically, it focuses on the application of diversion in cases of child theft at Tanjung Karang District Court in 2022. Out of 11 theft cases, diversion was attempted in three, but only one was successfully resolved through this process. The research identifies several obstacles that hinder the effectiveness of diversion, including victims' disagreement with the diversion agreement, disputes over compensation amounts, and varying interpretations of the process among law enforcement officials. Utilizing a normative legal approach, this research relies on applicable legal statutes and a review of relevant literature, including books and journals. Data for this qualitative analysis were collected from diverse sources and examined meticulously, providing a detailed insight into the factors affecting the success of diversion at Tanjung Karang District Court. The findings highlight the need for standardized procedures and better alignment among stakeholders to enhance the success rates of diversion programs in similar legal contexts.
Conceptualización del ciberespacio humano
Authors: Jones-Chaljub Steven
Published: March 2023

El ingenio y voluntad están detrás de todas nuestras creaciones. Encontramos soluciones a obstáculos o necesidades de la cotidianidad, incluso desconociendo las consecuencias de su empleo. Ya nos ha ocurrido con la dinamita y la tecnología nuclear, y ahora sucede con el ciberespacio. El ciberespacio es hasta el momento el único dominio creado por nuestra especie, lo cual resulta sumamente paradójico, considerando que la gran mayoría lo emplea diariamente sin entender su conformación ni las implicaciones en la vida cotidiana. Peor aún, justificamos este desconocimiento al afirmar que este dominio solo atañe a unos pocos que conocen el lenguaje de las computadoras, sin detenernos a pensar que con tener un teléfono celular ya se forma parte del ciberespacio. Este libro nace como respuesta a esta deficiencia de conocimiento en los usuarios del ciberespacio, pero se desliga de las aproximaciones tradicionales y técnicas para concentrarse en el factor del comportamiento humano en sociedad. Se encuentra dividida en cuatro capítulos: el primero desarrolla el concepto del ciberespacio; el segundo, los actores que en este interactúan y sus motivaciones; el tercero, el concepto de poder, y el último, la sorpresa como un elemento potenciador. Para plantear el argumento se empleó una premisa: mientras las tecnologías de inteligencia artificial no sean realmente eficientes, al final siempre habrá una persona detrás de cada código, plataforma, red, sistema o máquina. Si esto es cierto, el ciberespacio es, indiscutiblemente, un entorno humano que nos atañe a todos y, solo por eso, esta lectura bien vale la pena.

This publication is aimed at understanding the evolution of the content of international legal standards of women's rights. Based on the hermeneutical analysis of the main international legal acts, an attempt is made to show the historical genesis of the consolidation of women's rights in the acts of the United Nations. The authors found that at the international legal level, women's rights were not considered in isolation from men's rights and were based on the construction of equal identical rights of representatives of both sexes. The authors emphasize that the progressive movement of political and legal emancipation of women continues in the general tone of tactics and constructions of international legal regulation of human rights, which started in the previous century.In general, it was revealed that progress in determining the essence and content of women's rights proceeded naturally and evolutionarily. International conventions and covenants in this area have been progressively adopted. The current state of international legal regulation of the institute of women's rights as a whole is developing according to the scenario laid down in the vt. gender. XX century . The authors came to the conclusion that on the way to achieving gender equality on a global scale, international acts increasingly required States to implement the principles of equality of men and women in their constitutions and the current legal system.

Diagnóstico tardio de Doença de Crohn Fibroestenosante-Fistulizante: relato de caso
Authors: Almeida Diego Seixas Gomes de , Ferraz Adriana Rodrigues
Published: March 2023

Objetivo: Relatar o caso de um paciente com atraso diagnóstico de 15 anos para Doença de Crohn (DC) Fibroestenosante-Fistulizante, diagnosticada em fase avançada com fístula entero-sigmoidea, descrevendo o curso clínico e as intervenções realizadas. Detalhamento do caso: Paciente masculino, 27 anos, tabagista, com relato de dor abdominal crônica associada a quadros diarreicos desde os 14 anos. Exames laboratoriais evidenciando elevação de provas inflamatórias e anticorpo anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ASCA) positivo. Colonoscopia com alterações sugestivas de DC ativa e enteroressonância com regiões de estenose em íleo distal e fístula íleo-sigmoidea com indicação de abordagem cirúrgica. O paciente apresentou DC refratária à corticoterapia, demandando múltiplas otimizações terapêuticas e troca do imunobiológico de Infliximabe (IFX) para Adalimumabe (ADA) devido ao desenvolvimento de resistência imune ao IFX, com resolução cicatricial de fístula às custas de ampliação das áreas de estenose, mantendo padrões de exacerbação e remissão da doença. Considerações finais: O atraso diagnóstico de 15 anos devido aos sintomas inespecíficos, curso clínico intermitente e perda de seguimento do paciente, além do tabagismo, foram fundamentais para a progressão do processo inflamatório crônico e desenvolvimento de um perfil mais agressivo da doença.

Published: March 2023

Orta Anadolu Volkanik Bölgesi’nde (OAVB) geniş alanlarda yayılım gösteren piroklastik akıntı birimleri çoğu zaman yer yer hidrotermal alterasyona maruz kalmış şekilde bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, bölgede farklı koşullar altında gerçekleşen hâkim alterasyon tipini saptamak, ikincil mineral oluşumunu etkileyen fizikokimyasal koşulları ortaya koymak ve hâkim jeolojik süreçlere yaklaşımda bulunmak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Zelve ignimbiriti bölgede en fazla hidrotermal alterasyona uğramış piroklastik akıntı birimlerinden birini temsil etmektedir. Akıntı birimine ait ilksel pomza örnekler, alkali çözeltiler ile kontrollü koşullar altında tepkimeye sokulmuş ve alterasyon sonucu oluşan zeolit mineralleri incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda yürütülen deneysel çalışmalar, bölgede etkin hidrotermal koşullar göz önünde bulundurarak, otojenik basınç altında ve yaklaşık 150 ºC sıcaklıkta NaOH, KOH ve NaHCO3 gibi alkali çözelti aktivite ajanları kullanarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Deneyler sonucunda elde edilen reaksiyon ürünleri X-ışını difraksiyonu (XRD) ile tanımlanmış ve taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) çalışmalarıyla oluşan ürünler karakterize edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, filipsit (K- ve Na-), analsim, mordenit ve şabazit gibi zeolit mineralleri sentezlenmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar, ilksel camdan itibaren gerçekleşen hidrotermal alterasyonda NaOH alkali çözeltisinin, zeolit mineralinin oluşumunda etkin aktivite ajanı olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bununla birlikte, bölgede doğal olarak oluşan zeolit mineralleri (analsim, filipsit, şabazit, mordenit, klinoptilolit ve eriyonit) ile deneysel çalışmalar sonucunda elde edilen ürünlerin örtüştüğü belirlenmiştir. Alterasyon ürünleri ana ve iz element bileşimleri başlangıç malzemesine göre belirgin farklılıklar göstermektedir. Ürünlere ait CaO, K2O ve Na2O ana oksit bileşimlerinde zenginleşme, Rb, Ba ve P gibi elementlerde tüketilme gözlenmiştir. Bu durum, özellikle zeolit oluşumu sırasında başlangıç malzemesi ile çözelti arasında gerçekleşen element değişimleri ile açıklanabilmektedir.
Spin Crossover-Mediated Change in Gas Affinity in Metal-Organic Frameworks: Perspective from A Hubbard U-Density Corrected Scheme
Authors: Mariano A. Lorenzo , Fernandez Blanco Angel , Poloni Roberta
Published: March 2023

The development of strategies to efficiently capture and release gas is one of the most urgent topics in modern applied chemistry. In this respect, the modulation of the affinity for the gas molecule upon application of an external stimulus appears as fascinating strategy to reduce the energy penalty of the release process. In this work we provide the proof- of-concept for a novel temperature-induced gas release strategy in porous materials with desorption occurring upon a spin crossover transition of metal center exhibiting an open coordination. By employing a recently proposed Hubbard-U density- corrected scheme within density-functional theory we demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed process from a thermodynamic point of view by correlating the change in binding energy of several gas molecules upon spin crossover with the adiabatic energy difference associated with the spin state change for a series of six porous coordination polymers. The case of H2 ad- sorption stands out as the most promising and yet novel result with implications for a non-cryogenic storage technology.

N-functionalized pyridinium frameworks derived from the three major vitamers of vitamin B6, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxine, have been screened computationally for consideration as negative electrode materials in aqueous organic flow batteries. A molecular database including the structure and the one-electron standard reduction potential of related pyridinium derivatives has been generated using a computational protocol that combines semiempirical and DFT quantum chemical methods. The predicted reduction potentials span a broad range for the investigated pyridinium frameworks, but pyridoxal derivatives, particularly those involving electron withdrawing substituents, have potentials compatible with the electrochemical stability window of aqueous electrolytes. The stability of radicals formed upon one-electron reduction has been analyzed by a new computational tool proposed recently for large-scale computational screening.

Background: This paper highlights the formulation of a solid THC-loaded ingestible prepared from pure THC distillate. A THC ethanol-assisted cannabinoid nanoemulsion (EACNE) was created without the need for specialized emulsification equipment such as a high-pressure homogenizer or a microfluidizer. Stress-testing was performed on the EACNE to evaluate its chemical and colloidal stability under the influence of different environmental factors, encompassing both physical and chemical stressors. Subsequently, the EACNE was converted to a solid powdery material while still retaining its THC potency, and suited for “microdosing” applications. Methods: An ethanol-assisted emulsification method was used to generate a THC nanoemulsion. The EACNE was fully characterized, imaged, and subjected to stress-tests. The EACNE was then mixed with a solid matrix material post facto and lyophilized to create a solid ingestible substance. Upon ball-milling, a dense powdery material was obtained. Flow properties and thermal properties of this material were recorded. Potency of the material was evaluated in triplicate using HPLC and correlated with the potency of the starting EACNE. Results: EACNE had an average lipid droplet size of ca. 190 nm, with a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.15, and an average droplet zeta potential of -49±10 mV. The nanoemulsion was colloidally stable for at least 6 weeks, with no meaningful change in cannabinoid potency over the experimental period, as determined by HPLC analysis. The EACNE remained stable when subjected to physical stresses such as heat, freeze/thaw cycles, carbonation, dilution to beverage concentrations, high sucrose concentrations, and a pH range between 5-8. The effect of undesirable events during the lyophilization of the EACNE were minimized by ball-milling the resulting solid. The microencapsulated EACNE demonstrated limited free-flowing behaviour but was freely redispersible in water without any visible phase separation. Conclusions: A solvent-mediated emulsification protocol creates a THC-loaded nanoemulsion that can subsequently be converted to a water-soluble powder. These materials are particularly suited for THC “microdosing”, a practice that might decouple the health benefits of THC from its psychotropic effects.

V drugem zvezku so zbrane biografske predstavitve admiralov, kontraadmiralov in drugih oficirjev iz slovenskih dežel, prispevki o življenju in delu pomorščakov, o izobraževanju v pomorstvu in o ladjedelništvu, s katerimi je Pahor ustvaril nezamenljiv korpus informacij o slovenskih pomorščakih in mornarjih iz 19. in 20. stoletja.
Just Because We’re Small Doesn’t Mean We Can’t Stand Tall: A Child and Youth Rights Movement
Authors: Howell Lisa , Ng-A-Fook Nicholas
Published: March 2023

In this article, the authors share their research on a curriculum for social justice, truth, and then reconciliation as put forth by the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society (Caring Society). The Caring Society is a non-profit organization that advocates for equity and social justice for First Nations children and creates social justice educational materials for Canadian learners. The authors provide an overview of the Caring Society campaigns and educational research. More specifically, they discuss how the Caring Society is creating educational resources that center a child and youth-driven civil rights movement across the school curriculum. Such curricular and pedagogical approaches focus on truth and then reconciliation, Indigenous sovereignty, and position a social justice pedagogy. They then discuss some of the ways we might advocate relational forms of citizenship that seek to honour the truth, and then reconciliation education.

En la actualidad, el mundo se ve inundado por una gran cantidad de desechos, producto de la dinámica económica y del consumo de las personas y empresas. Dichos desechos contaminan el medio ambiente, lo que afecta la vegetación, la fauna y las condiciones de vida de las personas que se ubican alrededor de los rellenos sanitarios de las ciudades. Muchos de estos residuos podrían ser reincorporados al sistema productivo, con lo cual se aportaría al medio ambiente; sin embargo, esto no siempre se da, ya que para las personas frecuentemente es más fácil mezclar y entregar al servicio de recolección de basuras todo tipo de residuos juntos, sin hacer la respectiva separación.
A narrative inquiry into Vietnamese migrants' experiences of disaster risk reduction
Authors:   , Tran Vy
Published: March 2023

The current research examined experiences of Vietnamese migrants in relation to disaster risk reduction, with a focus on those living in the Wellington Region, Aotearoa New Zealand. Specifically, I considered how Vietnamese migrants understand natural hazards and participate in disaster preparedness actions. Furthermore, Vietnamese migrants’ experiences were examined as situated within the socio-cultural context of Việt Nam and Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand, where neoliberal and individualistic frameworks are predominant. Critical realism and narrative theory were the ontological and theoretical frameworks that informed the research approach. The application of critical realism enabled me to account for socio-cultural frameworks that shaped how Vietnamese migrants engaged in disaster risk reduction. I employed narrative theory to centre Vietnamese migrants’ perspectives, through which they narrated their experiences. Interviews were conducted with six participants, whose stories portrayed nuanced disaster-related knowledge and experiences. Social connection as well as social isolation played an important role in the way they accessed information on disaster risks and engaged in preparedness. Humour and family relations were pivotal to the ways in which they recalled and discussed experiences of hazardous events and disaster risk reduction. Language barriers and fatalism were a part of their narratives, as expected from previous research, but the impact of these were complicated rather than straightforward. Contextual conditions, including individualistic and neoliberal values, framed the way in which social connection and isolation, socio-cultural practices, language barriers and fatalism pertained to their experiences of disaster risk reduction. These findings show that it is useful to divert from individualistic frameworks and suggest different ways disaster risk reduction can be understood and experienced by Vietnamese migrants. As such, they have significant implications for disaster management in practice in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Symbioses between Green Marketing Sustainability and Competition Law in Malaysia
Authors: Ramaiah Angayar Kanni , Hussein Safinaz Mohd
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The urgency to control and reduce environmental disasters to the air and water as well as plastic pollution, acute deforestation, industrial waste, chemical spills, climate change and global warming calamity has triggered the universal Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) policy. Thus, diverting the attention of every level of human activity towards attaining a ‘sustainable’ environment. This universal war against such environmental disasters has developed a reason to incorporate SDG policy goals into the Competition Law and Policy (CLP) globally. This exploratory study aimed to determine the symbiosis between the competition law and United Nations (UN), SDG policy application under Competition Act 2010 for promoting and enhancing Green Marketing (GM) in Malaysia. 

Methodology: The study examines viable options for competition regulators to address sustainability policy for green marketing (GM) benefits under the scope of CLP. The study applies qualitative analysis by way of comparative study to the European Union (EU) approach to determine GM marketing legitimacy for acclaiming SDG policy as a criterion within the exemption proviso in the Competition Act 2010, Malaysia.

Findings: Competition Law can support GM sustainability initiatives to improve the environment since GM is not just about producing and marketing environmentally sustainable products but from a broader perspective contributes to innovation and consumer welfare.   Hence, GM's social market and societal benefits towards sustainability objectives are arguably considered to outweigh its countervailing anticompetitive effects for sustainable exemption policy under the CLP. However, GM can only substantially contribute to addressing global warming and the environment under the SDG if applied legitimately. In addition, the GM must be also endorsed to incorporate broader environmental-related benefit policy within its competition law prohibition and exemption framework to resonate with the UN’s SDG.

Implications/Originality/Value: The endorsement of GM sustainable benefits by way of exemption, exception or being pro-competitive allows a fair competitive advantage for GM industry growth. The research examines and proposes the exemption options for GM-related mergers, a collaboration by way of agreement and government exception policies under CA2010.
