Social Stock Exchange: A Breakthrough Towards Mainstreaming Sustainable Finance in India?
Authors: Adhya Partha Sarathy , Sahoo Suresh Kumar 
Published: December 2024

Objectives: The study aims to explore the establishment of a Social Stock Exchange (SSE) in India, a unique initiative under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The objective is to analyze its potential to provide a funding platform for social and voluntary organizations focused on social welfare and its alignment with India’s goals, such as decarbonization and addressing inflation-induced public spending constraints.

Methods: A review of key developments surrounding SSE, including its announcement in the 2019-20 budget, SEBI's in-principle and final approvals, and its integration into the Bombay Stock Exchange as a standalone section, forms the core methodology. The analysis draws on opinions from social entrepreneurs and evaluates SSE’s ability to offer equity, debt, and mutual fund instruments as capital-raising avenues.

Results: The findings indicate strong support for SSE among social entrepreneurs, who see it as a solution to challenges like constrained public spending and reduced foreign funding for NGOs. SSE is positioned as a transformative tool to enable voluntary and social organizations to achieve their goals, particularly in areas like decarbonization and social welfare.

Conclusion: The Social Stock Exchange represents a novel approach to bridging social welfare objectives and financial markets in India. Its successful implementation could empower social organizations, enhance funding access, and support national priorities. However, strategic planning and policy frameworks will be crucial to ensure the platform's long-term viability and effectiveness.
A Review of Arshoghna Mahakashaya in the Charaka Samhita

Published: December 2024

Arsha, one of the most prevalent ano-rectal disorders, can manifest at any stage of life and is extensively described in Ayurvedic literature. These texts elucidate its etiology, pathology, symptomatology, classifications, and therapeutic approaches. Arsha denotes the abnormal proliferation of muscle tissue in various forms that arise in the rectum and adjacent areas, often as a consequence of imbalances in the doshas associated with the skin, muscle, and adipose tissues. Manifesting at the opening of the guda marga (anal passage), Arsha can be as problematic as an adversary, even in its mildest manifestations, leading to considerable discomfort and distress. The Mahakashaya, an Ayurvedic classification of medications based on their therapeutic actions (Karmas), provides valuable insights into the management of Arsha. Acharya Charaka categorizes Arsha into two types: Ardra (wet) and Shushka (dry). In the Charaka Samhita, Sutrastana, Chapter 4, the Arshoghna Mahakashaya group enumerates ten potent herbs known for their efficacy in the management of Arsha. These herbs include Kutaja, Bilva, Chitraka, Shundi, Ativisha, Abhaya, Dhanvayasa, Daruharidra, Vacha, and Chavya. Each plant in this category possesses specific Rasa (taste), Guna (qualities), Veerya (potency), and Vipaka (post-digestive effect), which collectively contribute to its therapeutic efficacy against Arsha. In the treatment of Arshas, Tikta, Katu, and Kashaya rasa pradhana dravyas are of critical importance. These medications are classified based on their pharmacological properties, thereby offering targeted relief to individuals affected by this condition.

Published: December 2024

A Indústria da Construção Civil (ICC) desempenha um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento socioeconômico do Brasil, sendo responsável por obras de infraestrutura, serviços especializados e edificações. Sua relevância se destaca com a urbanização, atendendo demandas por mobilidade, moradia e saneamento, embora envolva processos complexos e diversos insumos. Estruturas de concreto armado destacam-se entre as técnicas construtivas amplamente utilizadas. Este material, composto por agregados, água e cimento Portland, é reforçado com aço para suportar esforços de tração. Nesse contexto, as lajes são elementos bidimensionais de concreto armado, caracterizados por comprimento e largura predominantes em relação à espessura, sendo também denominadas placas. Sendo assim, tem-se a seguinte pergunta-problema para o norteamento da presente pesquisa: qual é o tipo de laje mais viável, em termos financeiros, considerando-se a maciça, a pré-fabricada treliçada com enchimento em EPS e a com enchimento de lajotas cerâmicas? O objetivo do estudo é investigar qual é o tipo de laje mais viável, em termos financeiros, considerando-se a maciça, a pré-fabricada treliçada com enchimento em EPS e a com enchimento de lajotas cerâmicas. Já os objetivos específicos são: discorrer sobre as principais características das lajes maciças; discorrer sobre as principais características da lajes pré-moldadas com enchimento em lajotas cerâmicas e EPS; analisar a composição de custos das lajes estudadas, em termos de mão de obra e materiais, segundo a literatura disponível; realizar um estudo de caso por meio da comparação de custos de mão de obra e materiais para as lajes em estudo. Os resultados demonstram que os valores absolutos são de R$ 36.130,83, R$ 33.109,66 e R$ 40.359,92, para a LPMEPS (Laje Pré-Moldada com Enchimento em EPS), LPMLC (Laje Pré-Moldada com Enchimento em Lajota Cerâmica) e LM (Laje Maciça), respectivamente. Em vista disto, a LPMLC é a mais viável, com uma diferenciação de R$ 3.021,17 para a com EPS e de R$ 7.250,26 para a maciça.

Résumé L’étude a été initiée dans le souci d’inventorier les ménages qui pratiquent le déboisement dans la chefferie de Bangengele de 2015 à 2019. Les données ont été recueillies par la méthode d’interview libre. Ainsi, les résultats obtenus montrent que le déboisement est pratiqué toute l’année ; mais décembre est le mois où cette activité est plus pratiquée que les autres mois. Il parait que la chefferie est victime de la dégradation forestière par une exploitation irrationnelle, d’où le reboisement demeure une solution efficace pour réhabiliter les écosystèmes dégradés dans le milieu.Mots-clés : Ménages, Déboisement, Population, Environnement, Bangengele. Abstract The study was initiated in order to inventory the households that practice deforestation in the chiefdom of Bangengele from 2015 to 2019. The data was collected by the open interview method. Thus, the results obtained show that deforestation is practiced all year round; but December is the month when this activity is more practiced than the other months. It seems that the chiefdom is the victim of forest degradation through irrational exploitation, hence reforestation remains an effective solution to rehabilitate degraded ecosystems in the area.

Published: December 2024

La dégradation de l'environnement et les dysfonctionnements hydrologiques participent activement à l'augmentation des inondations dans la Commune de Grand-Popo. La démarche méthodologique adoptée s’articule autour de la collecte des données, du traitement des données et de l’analyse des résultats. Le traitement des données a été réalisé à l’aide des logiciels SPSS et ArcView. Les résultats de la recherche montrent que les facteurs naturels et humains déterminants des inondations regroupent la configuration morphologique des sols (forte présence de zones marécageuses), la position géographique de la commune située au débouché du fleuve Mono et du chenal de Aho, l'abondance de la pluviométrie qui provoque des crues du fleuve Mono, l'importance du réseau hydrographique (fleuve Mono, rivière, sazué), l'occupation des bas-fonds par les habitats, entraînant la restriction des exutoires ayant pour effet l'élévation du niveau des eaux souterraines (relèvement de nappe) et par conséquent l'hydromorphisation des sols et les inondations et le fonctionnement du barrage de Nangbéto notamment les opérations de lâchée d'eau du barrage . Les populations ont une perception de la survenance des inondations. En effet, la perception des populations enquêtées sur les inondations annuelles est relative aux excès pluviométriques et les inondations (30%) ; le prolongement des pluies de la petite saison (12%) et la modification du régime pluviométrique ou la mauvaise répartition des pluies (14 %) et la tendance vers saison pluvieuse unimodale (9 %).
Order and Disorder: the Governance of the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong during the late 20th Century
Authors: Liu Ruqian 
Published: December 2024

Due to the high crime activity resulting from the historical legal disputes over the sovereignty between China and Britain, the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong was often regarded as a place without law and governance. This paper seeks to discover the nature of the governance mechanism of the Kowloon Walled City while dismantling the above claim. The Kowloon Walled City had the Neighborhood Welfare Association serving as the bridge for communication with the British Hong Kong government, which then also provided basic support and services for sanitation. In addition, many of the past scholarship argued that the Kowloon Walled City as without law and governance, other than the legal dispute, was also due to the intense gangster activities conducted by the triad, mainly the Sun Yee On. However, during the 20th century and before the establishment of the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), areas under the British Hong Kong government governance were also undergoing the same situation. In this sense, with self-governance from the local Neighborhood Welfare Association, a certain level of intervention from the Hong Kong government, and the fact that gangster activities were a widespread phenomenon, the reality of Kowloon Walled City was not according to the popular imagination.

Need of Quality research in Pakistan
Authors: Gilani Syed Amir 
Published: December 2024

Research requires a cautious attention of study concerning a specific question or issue using scientific methods in a peaceful atmosphere as research is the method in which professors (scientists) spend their time to discover hidden facts.
Nowadays, students get worried when they hear the term Research! Our system failed to produce quality of research during last decade due to various reasons. Those who made this possible and published their research in an impact factor journal have failed to generalize it or making it externally valid (external validity) due to multiple factual inaccuracies.
Various factors are responsible for not producing a quality of research in institutions of Pakistan like lack of interest of students and academic staff, deficiency of high qualified research staff, lack of fully equipped research labs, lack of research funding and other enormous reasons.
According to a survey more than 90% of our universities have no proper environment of research. Not only, even if they have laboratories or research rooms that are not fully equipped. Research environment is a distant thing most of the academic staff of our institutions don’t know how to formulate a research question. I remember many professors went to abroad for post-doctoral research and produced high quality research and never came back. Almost exactly, there is another unpleasant reality behind the completion of research in the universities i.e., the people are paid to write less than no time the papers for those who paid them. Doing this malpractice can certainly aggravate an already pitfall-drenched situation.The teachers must not be involved in all three domains at the same time i.e., community service, teaching and research. The faculty should be divided into these three based upon their interest. It is a dire need to consider all the issues which hamper in producing high quality research. Education is the key to success we all know! There is need to develop and understand a research culture in Pakistan. It should be promoted in true spirit without the above mentioned mal practices. The real essence of research culture should flourish and all the teachers and researchers have to work for this cause.
