Published: April 2024

This study aims to evaluate the effects of increasing fuel pump pressure and varying the number of holes in the injector on engine performance. The fuel system in the engine has evolved from carburettor to injection system to improve the efficiency of fuel usage. In this study, the fuel pump pressure was increased to three levels, namely 2.5 bar, 3 bar, and 3.5 bar. In addition, variations in the number of holes in the injector were also tested using 3-hole, 6-hole, and 8-hole injectors. Engine performance was evaluated based on the power and torque produced. The research method used is experimental with power and torque measurements as engine performance data. The results showed that increasing fuel pump pressure and varying the number of holes in the injector had a significant effect on engine performance. Increasing the fuel pump pressure to 3.5 bar results in an increase in engine power and torque. The best power test results were obtained at a fuel pump pressure of 3 bar with a combination of 6-hole injectors, producing a maximum power of 11.63 HP at 6000 rpm engine speed. While the best torque test results were obtained at a fuel pump pressure of 3.5 bar with a combination of 3-hole injectors, producing a maximum torque of 43.10 Nm at 3000 rpm. The variation in the number of holes in the injector shows that the use of injectors with more holes tends to increase engine power and torque.

Authors: AMUGHORO, Austin Onome  , ATUBE, Elizabeth Noyenim  , EFANIMJOR, Prince  
Published: April 2024

Large number of corporate failures is attributable to inappropriate management strategies or controlling working capital management components as it relates to profitability. This study examines the effects of working capital management (WCM) on the profit base of manufacturing firms in Nigeria from 2012-2021. Data were sourced from annual reports of sampled manufacturing firms quoted on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX). The study employed Ordinary Least Square (OLS), descriptive statistics, and correlation matrix to analyse the sourced data. The findings show that there is no significant relationship between current ratio and return on asset of manufacturing firms in Nigeria with a p-value of 0.23. Cash Conversion Cycle revealed a coefficient of -0.04 and p-value of 0.01, indicating a negative impact on ROA which is statistically significant. Thus, there is a significant relationship between cash conversion cycle and return on assets of manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Account payable management have an insignificant negative impact on return on asset of manufacturing firms in Nigeria based on the coefficient -0.01 and p-value of 0.54. The findings show that Account Receivable Management was found to be significantly positive associated with Return on Asset with the coefficient 0.03 and p-value of 0.02. More so, manufacturing firms should establish a strong yet mutually beneficial suppliers’ base. Additionally, firms should enforce clear credit policies to ensure timely and efficient collection of receivables.

THE INTEGRATED BANKING-SUPPLY CHAIN (IBSC) MODEL FOR FMCG IN EMERGING MARKETS
Authors: Tolulope Esther Edunjobi  
Published: April 2024

The Integrated Banking-Supply Chain (IBSC) model represents a comprehensive framework designed to enhance the efficiency and resilience of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) supply chains in emerging markets. Emerging markets present unique challenges, including infrastructural limitations, economic volatility, and limited access to financing. The IBSC model addresses these challenges by integrating banking services with supply chain management practices, fostering collaboration among stakeholders and leveraging financial instruments to optimize operations. This paper explores the key components and benefits of the IBSC model within the context of FMCG industries operating in emerging markets. It highlights the significance of collaboration between banks, FMCG companies, suppliers, distributors, and other stakeholders to promote transparency, efficiency, and accountability throughout the supply chain. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of tailored financial services, such as trade finance, working capital loans, inventory financing, and supply chain financing, in meeting the unique needs of FMCG businesses in emerging markets. Trade finance plays a pivotal role in facilitating international trade transactions by providing financing for importing raw materials and exporting finished goods. Working capital loans assist FMCG companies in managing their day-to-day operational expenses, while inventory financing enables them to leverage existing inventory as collateral to secure financing and optimize cash flow. Supply chain financing mechanisms, such as factoring and invoice discounting, provide liquidity to suppliers and distributors along the supply chain, thereby enhancing overall efficiency and resilience. Overall, the IBSC model offers FMCG companies in emerging markets a strategic approach to overcome challenges related to supply chain management and financing. By integrating banking services with supply chain operations, the model enables FMCG businesses to optimize working capital, reduce financing costs, and improve cash flow management, ultimately enhancing their competitiveness and sustainability in rapidly evolving markets.

NAVIGATING THE LEGAL COMPLEXITIES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN GLOBAL TRADE AGREEMENTS
Authors: Etinosa Igbinenikaro  , Adefolake Olachi Adewusi  
Published: April 2024

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize global trade, it brings with it a host of legal complexities that challenge traditional frameworks within international trade agreements. This abstract explores the emerging problem of integrating AI into global trade agreements, identifies its purpose in addressing these challenges, highlights existing research gaps, and outlines the structure of the study. The proliferation of AI technologies in global trade presents a myriad of legal challenges, including issues related to intellectual property rights, data protection, liability, and regulatory frameworks. Existing international trade agreements often lack specific provisions addressing AI, leading to ambiguity and inconsistency in legal interpretation. Moreover, the rapid pace of technological advancement outpaces the ability of legal frameworks to adapt, exacerbating the problem. The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal complexities arising from the integration of AI into global trade agreements and to propose potential solutions for addressing these challenges. By examining existing legal frameworks, case studies, and scholarly literature, this research aims to provide insights into the development of AI-inclusive trade policies that foster innovation while safeguarding against potential risks and inequalities. While there is a growing body of literature addressing the intersection of AI and various legal domains, such as ethics, privacy, and labor law, there remains a notable gap in the understanding of how AI impacts international trade agreements specifically. Existing research primarily focuses on domestic regulatory frameworks, leaving a dearth of comprehensive analysis on the implications of AI for global trade governance. This study seeks to fill this gap by exploring the unique legal challenges posed by AI in the context of international trade agreements. This study will begin by providing an overview of the current landscape of AI technologies and their applications in global trade. It will then analyze the existing legal frameworks within international trade agreements and identify areas of ambiguity and inconsistency concerning AI. Subsequently, the study will explore case studies and examples of AI implementation in trade, examining the legal implications and challenges encountered. Finally, the research will propose recommendations and policy guidelines for integrating AI into future trade agreements, ensuring coherence, fairness, and adaptability in the face of technological innovation.
