Assessing the Impact of Financial Technology Innovations on the Sustainable Profitability of Listed Commercial Banks in China

Commercial banks constitute a crucial segment of China’s financial system, and their efficient operation is directly linked to the development of other sectors within the national economy. The sustainable profitability of these banks is vital for maintaining the stability of China’s financial system. In the context of the current digital economy, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to conduct an in-depth analysis of the impact of financial technology (fintech) development on the sustainable profitability of commercial banks and its underlying mechanisms. Such research can promote the digital transformation of commercial banks, enhance risk supervision policies, and mitigate systemic financial risks. This study utilizes EViews software Version 13 to analyze annual data from 13 listed commercial banks in China over the period from 2011 to 2021. It examines the influence of fintech on the profitability of these banks, considering their unique characteristics and drawing insights from the existing literature on the mechanisms through which fintech affects bank profitability. Employing both a static panel fixed effects variable-intercept model and a dynamic panel generalized method of moments (GMM) model, the empirical findings indicate that fintech development significantly impacts the profitability of listed commercial banks.

Oil Revenue, Institutional Quality and Economic Growth in Nigeria

This study examined the interaction of oil revenue and institutional quality on economic growth in Nigeria over the period of 1993 - 2022. The World Development Indicator (WDI) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin were the sources of the annual time series data used in this study. Employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) estimation technique, findings reveal that oil revenue impacts economic growth positively in the short-run but negatively in the long run, while institutional quality exhibits positive impact in both the short-run and long-run period. It was also discovered that the interaction of oil revenue and economic growth could enhance economic growth in Nigerian both in the short-run and long-run period. Access to clean fuels and technologies contributes positively to economic growth in both short-run and long-run period, while fiscal policy rating only has statistically significant positive association with economic growth in Nigeria over the observed period. This study therefore recommends the need to strengthen political institutions for effective utilization of oil revenue, and implementation of strategic diversification policies for the development of other sectors in the economy for economic prosperity in Nigeria.

Heat Pumps with Smart Control in Managing Australian Residential Electrical Load during Transition to Net Zero Emissions

Australia, like many other countries around the world, is undergoing a transition toward net zero emissions. It requires changes and development in many sectors, which not only bring benefits but also challenges. The rapid growth in renewable energy sources (RESs) is necessary to decarbonise electricity generation but negatively affects grid stability. Residential buildings also contribute to this issue through specific load profiles and the high penetration of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) installations. Maintaining grid balance will be crucial for further emissions reductions. One of the potential solutions can be the replacement of conventional heating and cooling systems in houses with solutions capable of storing energy and shifting the electrical load. As presented in this paper, heat pumps and hydronic systems can significantly improve the electrical load of a typical South Australian household when they are controlled by algorithms reacting to the current grid conditions and household-generated electricity compared to conventional solutions. TRNSYS 18 simulations of air source and ground source heat pump systems with smart control based on measured electricity consumption and domestic hot water usage data showed the possibility of total energy consumption reduction, shifting the load from peak periods towards periods of excessive RES generation and increasing self-consumption of rooftop PV electricity. These improvements reduce the amount of emissions generated by such a household and allow for further development of other sectors.

Agricultural Commodity Markets in Pakistan: Analysis of Issues

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Agriculture markets in Pakistan are still primarily based on a colonial-era model and have not modernised with changing times. This has increased unnecessary costs in the supply chains that put growers and end-consumers at a disadvantage. Additionally, price and supply volatility causes insecurity for policy-makers as information about prices, supply and demand is not structured, timely or reliable. For decades, agricultural markets have functioned without government focus on innovation. Recent initiatives from various federal and provincial agencies provide hope that this vital area can now finally be addressed. Numerous constraints need to be resolved to bring meaningful change to the ecosystem. The process must start with a fresh policy look and commitment to adopt modern themes. This policy process can be supported by technology and successful lessons from other countries as well as developments in other sectors within the country. There is a need to develop a certain level of coordination between various federal and provincial agencies. The increasingly fragmented nature of agriculture markets might be useful for some stakeholders as they can innovate according to their needs but it leaves most of the sector at a continually suboptimal level. The lack of progress in modernising core markets has also made it difficult for some innovative solutions to succeed. A rapid assessment of the current environment, key constraints and recommendations for possible development areas is presented in this report.

Atlas 2022 of African health Statistics: Key results towards achieving the health-related SDGs targets

IntroductionThe Atlas 2022 of African Health Statistics is a comprehensive tool that gives an overview of the health ecosystem in the African region. As such, it tracks progress towards globally agreed objectives, such as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), assesses the capacity of African countries to achieve them, and helps policymakers identify gaps and areas requiring substantial reinforcement. MethodsWe analyzed health-related SDGs’ key indicators in the Atlas 2022 of African Health Statistics. This platform is a nexus for consistent and comparable data sources across countries. A review of studies addressing the evolution of health-related SDG indicators in Africa was also considered for discussion and recommendations. ResultsHunger and different forms of malnutrition remain prevalent in the Region. Maternal and neonatal mortality is still high compared to other regions, with increasing incidences of non-communicable diseases and poor mechanisms to address mental health issues. Many inequalities are noted in violence against women, access to health services, or access to water and basic sanitation, which is exacerbated in rural areas. Regarding achieving the SDGs, the trend of most indicators shows they will be challenging to perform at the Regional level. However, a few countries are on track to achieve some goals. These results clearly show that countries have different experiences and, therefore, different progress in achieving sustainable development goals. The delays experienced by many countries in terms of development in other sectors, such as climate and the environment, poverty reduction and economic growth, equity and justice, etc., will make it even more difficult to achieve the health-related SDGs. Achieving these goals should, therefore, be seen as a transdisciplinary and inclusive process. ConclusionBeyond the COVID-19 pandemic that has recently challenged health systems worldwide, the African Region is also dealing with several threats, jeopardizing its progress toward achieving the SDGs by 2030. Given the Region’s particular context, a readjustment of the regional targets and/or deadlines would be advisable to ensure they are achievable.

Museum Shops - Cultural Content Mediation Method or Business actor

Culture plays an increasingly important role in the economy of countries and is ahead of many other sectors in solving such problems as creating jobs and attracting investments, moreover, culture appears as one of the main stimuli for the development of other sectors of the economy. That is why, in connection with the term culture, the term culture industry is used more and more often. The use of this definition is completely correct, because the projects implemented in the field of culture are becoming more and more fully equipped with all the features necessary for all other commercial projects. It is often the case that the influence of the cultural project on the consumer determines his or her behavior and turns him into a consumer not only of the main object of the cultural project, but also of other products carrying its content and values. The museum appears to be the most important place for the implementation of cultural projects. It is here that there is a continuous relationship between the user and cultural objects, artifacts. The potential of museums in popular countries of the world is utilized to the maximum extent both in terms of implementation of cultural projects and development of the culture industry. Moreover, the opportunities of the world's largest museums are very effectively used by various business sectors to present their brand, product or service and provide intangible values. This circumstance adds even more significance to culture as a factor of the economy and makes cultural projects more interesting in this regard. It is necessary to analyze this situation and present all the features that make the cultural project such a multi-valued event and which in turn will bring maximum benefits to us as a country in terms of economic development - both in terms of content and values, self-identification, and purely economic features.

Evaluating employee engagement drivers in Nigeria's downstream electricity sub-sector

This paper focuses on employee engagement in a sector that transitioned from a fully government-owned to a privatized entity while retaining the majority of the legacy staff and bringing in new employees. The electricity sector has always piqued the interest of investors due to its strategic importance to the growth and development of other sectors, particularly in developing countries. This paper investigates some of the factors that influence employee engagement in the Nigerian power and electricity subsector. The study includes 824 employees from Nigeria's downstream electricity sector. Descriptive and ordinal regression analyses were used to determine the relationships between the variables. The study reveals that parameters such as office ambiance, clear communication, tool availability, health, and safety have relationships with or impact employee engagement. As a result, organizations' management must pay attention to and improve on them in order to retain their employees and provide their best discretionary effort. This research expands on theories of engagement in the post-privatization era and investigates the influence of key drivers on employee engagement in Nigeria's downstream power sector.

"EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR MANAGING THE RESERVE ENERGY SUPPLY OF A MINING FARM"

"The popularity of digital money due to the high capabilities of digital technologies, data transmission, makes it possible to carry out fast transactions and store capital in the form of electronic, virtual funds. Mining technology allows you to mine cryptocurrencies (bitcoin, Namecoin, etc.) in real time using a large number of video cards for parallel calculations of soda (hashes), while a large amount of electricity is consumed. The boom of mining technology occurred in 2009-2015, which caused a sharp increase in electricity consumption and insufficient capacity for the development of other sectors of the economy In Kazakhstan due to the low cost of electricity, there was an increase in the number of mining farms, and therefore there were several blackouts. As a rule, a mining farm does not belong to consumers of the 1st category, for whom switching to other feeders takes place, the elimination of accidents has recently taken quite a long time and the equipment stops, causes overheating and failure of video cards, moreover, the calculation process itself is interrupted, the warranty functioning of the equipment is not provided. The presented article discusses the methodology of organizing the backup power supply of a mining farm, the selection and justification of the necessary equipment and automation.

До питання розвитку транспортних перевезень у регіональному аспекті

Today, globalization trends are becoming evident both in Ukraine and in the world. This approach is aimed at increasing urbanization and the development of agglomerations. Therefore, the issues of development of the transport industry of Ukraine in the regional aspect remain relevant. At the same time, it should be noted that modern multimodal transport networks have their own specific structure. A typical multimodal transport network includes modern components of such elements of the network of such types of transport as road, rail, air, river, sea. The authors identified multimodal transport hubs in the structure of the transport system of Ukraine, analyzed their efficiency in terms of freight and passenger transport. It has been established that the existing distribution of cargo and passenger transportation by modes of transport indicates a certain priority of the use of road transport for all types of communication. At the same time, it should be noted that the automobile mode of transport today in Ukraine and the world is not an example of efficient and economical use of energy resources, has a significant share of the environmental load among other modes of transport, and is not always the objectively optimal option for transporting goods and passengers according to the criteria of reliability, economy and delivery terms. Thus, given that the transport industry of any region, country and at the global level is an important component of the economy, attracts a large number of specialists and affects the pace of development of other sectors of the economy, it is necessary to carefully study the development of this industry at all levels of operation and constantly to direct its development along vectors that constantly change over time. The transport industry at the regional level should also be noted as the basis for building a developed and efficient transport industry in the country. The modern development of the international transport system shows that the gateway or hub can perform the functions of modal and intermodal convergence. Especially if it is a combination of two or more operating modes of different systems. At the same time, the currently operating structures of regional multimodal networks unite the main gateways (hubs), which ensures connection to the international transport system through the sea-land-air interface.

THE ROLE OF THE TOURISM ACTIVITY IN THE DEVELOPMENT ECONOMY OF OUR COUNTRY

This article discusses the role of the tourist network in the development of the economy of our country. Information is provided that the tourism industry is becoming one of the locomotive industries that make a significant contribution to the economy of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and that the status of the strategic sector of the economy in our country is showing its first signs. Tourists visiting Uzbekistan mainly left for the purpose of historical and cultural tourism, but in subsequent years there has been an increase in the number of other types of tourism, in particular, the number of tourists arriving from far abroad for the purpose of pilgrimage. It is also noted that the development of the tourism sector, together with the development of other industries, will lead to the creation of additional jobs and employment of the population. It is reported that the development of tourism can serve as a factor in the development of other sectors of the economy, that the development of this sector is important for stabilizing the economy of Uzbekistan, that the place and role of tourism in the national economy of our Republic are determined by the competitive advantages of Uzbekistan in the field of international tourism, the importance of this sector in the development of international relations and its contribution to the economic growth of the country. Taking into account that tourism has a strong cumulative impact on all other industries, it is believed that today there is a need for further development and improvement of the tourism complex of our republic, ensuring its entry into a highly developed industry - the system of international tourism, that all of them require the improvement of legal regulation in the field of tourism, that the Government of our republic actively supports the development of international and national tourism, and that a large number of legal documents aimed at improving activities in this area have been adopted.

Improvement of Hierarchical Byzantine Fault Tolerance Algorithm in RAFT Consensus Algorithm Election

Currently, blockchain technology is not only gaining momentum in the financial industry but also showing promising developments in other sectors. Due to its suitability for various societal needs, an increasing number of non-financial institutions are expanding the scope of blockchain services beyond finance to areas such as healthcare service management and enterprise governance. The core of a blockchain system lies in consensus, which plays a crucial role in its performance and security. The PBFT algorithm is a widely used fault-tolerant consensus algorithm. However, it suffers from issues like high consensus latency, low throughput, and poor performance. In recent years, the HBFT algorithm has addressed these concerns. This paper proposes an improved HBFT blockchain consensus algorithm tailored for large enterprises and non-financial institutions with multiple independent functions. The goal is to achieve more efficient data management and election strategies that are both more secure than PBFT and more efficient than HBFT. Leveraging the enhanced HBFT consensus algorithm ensures stability and efficiency in the consensus and verification processes between organizations. Additionally, it enables the efficient management of data and value creation in the application context.
