Understanding the Relationship of Energy Consumption and Economic Determinants in ASEAN-5 Countries
Authors: Mokal Mahvish Nawaz , Ahmad Zaki , Mahboob Mohamed Nafeel , Khan Ahsan Aslam
Published: May 2024

The study examines the relationships between energy consumption and a range of key economic determinants within the ASEAN-5 countries spanning four decades from 1980 to 2020. Utilizing robust regression analysis, it explores the complex dynamics linking energy consumption to economic growth, inflation rate, financial development, and total population in these Southeast Asian nations. The findings consistently underscore the presence of positive relationships between energy consumption and the key variables across the ASEAN-5 region, with a particularly strong correlation between energy usage and GDP. However, the impact of economic growth on energy consumption varies significantly, notably exemplified by Indonesia, where a unique negative correlation challenges conventional wisdom. While inflation rates exhibit a positive relationship with energy consumption, their influence is eclipsed by other contributing factors. Financial development emerges as a pivotal driver of heightened energy consumption, aligning with established literature, while total population's impact fluctuates, proving positive in Malaysia and Indonesia but negative in the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore. Ultimately, these nuanced findings underscore the need for comprehensive and individually tailored energy policies that align with the distinct dynamics of each ASEAN-5 country, fostering sustainable economic growth while mitigating the environmental impact of increased energy consumption.

Authors:   School of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Henan Polytechnic University, Jiaozuo, China,454003, Lin Ziyang
Published: May 2024

To address the issues of lacking long-range spatial position learning ability and excessive loss of fine-grained feature information during spatial feature pooling in human pose estimation models, a novel human pose estimation model based on the Yolopose network is proposed. Firstly, an enhanced coordinate attention module is introduced and embedded into the backbone network to endow the model with long-range spatial position modeling capability. Secondly, a fine-grained cascaded spatial pyramid pooling module is proposed to mitigate the loss of fine-grained feature information caused by spatial feature pooling. Finally, an implicit knowledge learning module is incorporated to reduce the model parameter count and enhance the model's capability for multi-task joint optimization.

: The US and NATO's August 2021 departure from Afghanistan have resulted in significant security risks that now confront China and its Western neighborhood. This article examines two threats to China's national interest, both within its western province and its neighboring regions. The first threat pertains to China's restive Western province of Xinjiang bordering Afghanistan and is characterized by its unrest and instability, specifically due to the presence of separatist movements and acts of terrorism. The second concern involves the implications for China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Central and South Asia, thereby presenting potential economic threats. This paper conducts a comprehensive study to explore the context and significance of China's Afghan policy and aims to highlight China's role in safeguarding its national interests and promoting regional stability

Authors: Mwangi Julius
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of digital learning tools on student performance in Kenya.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Digital learning tools in Kenya enhance student engagement by offering interactive and accessible educational content. These tools enable personalized learning, allowing students to progress at their own pace. However, challenges like inconsistent internet access and limited digital literacy among teachers can hinder effectiveness. Despite these obstacles, the adoption of digital technologies has positively impacted student performance in Kenya.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Technology acceptance model (TAM), constructivist learning theory & media richness theory may be used to anchor future studies on the impact of digital learning tools on student performance in Kenya. Educational tools should be specifically tailored to align with Kenya’s national curriculum. Develop national policies that promote the equitable distribution of digital learning tools across different regions, including rural areas.
