A Study of key success factors for Social Enterprises in India

Research and studies in social enterprising domain have seen a remarkable upsurge globally. This is happening because of proven significance of social enterprises on account of their potential in solving numerous social problems specially for people living at the base of pyramid. Number of social enterprises fostering the socio-economic development of various regions across the world are increasing and their roles are continuously evolving. Despite growing importance of social entrepreneurship, the literature in this topic is still fragmented, especially little research was done on key success factors of social enterprises. Moreover, the evolving literature on social enterprises and their role in economic development is puzzled with theoretical inconsistencies and definitional controversies. Thus, presently very little is known about the key success factors which are backbone of any social enterprise operating in any sector. The aim of this paper is to identify and synthesize the key success factors for social enterprises in India.

Spatial Distribution of Development Types of Forestry-Ecological-Culture Industries in Chinese Provinces

It is vital to promote the sustainable economic and social development and ecological culture prosperity of forest areas in various regions to scientifically and objectively understand the development status of forestry-ecological-culture industries in all provinces (districts and cities) of China. It is also important to clarify the advantages of industrial development in various regions. Based on the comprehensive consideration of economic, social, and political factors, the evaluation index system of forestry-ecological-culture industry, which includes industrial productivity, industrial influence, industrial and driving force, is constructed in this study. Furthermore, the development of forestry-ecological-culture industry in 31 provinces and regions of China from 2014 to 2019 is analyzed by cluster analysis. The analysis categorized the industries into four development types: very high level developed, high level developed, medium level developed, and low level developed according to the principal component score, which sums up the characteristics of various types of industrial development. The results show that the forestry-ecological-culture industry in China presents the spatial distribution of “east high and west low”, which is related to the difference in regional economic development level. Furthermore, the advantage of resource endowment is not clear, the gap between provinces and regions is large, and the overall development level of industry is relatively low. The findings of this study provide theory-based guidance and policy suggestions for improving the efficiency of industrial development and optimizing spatial distribution of diversified industrial development.

Can Economic Growth and Environmental Protection Achieve a "Win-Win" Situation? Empirical Evidence from China.

Achieving a “win–win” situation regarding economic growth and environmental protection has become a common goal for sustainable development in all countries around the world. As the world’s largest developing country and the second largest economy, China has been striving to maintain economic growth while improving environmental quality to achieve its sustainable development goals. Applying the decoupling approach, a model widely used to quantify the relationship between the environment and the economy, this study analyzed the relationship between the economy and the environment, examining the decoupling performance of economic growth and environmental impacts in 30 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities to investigate whether economic growth and environmental protection have achieved a “win–win” situation. Nighttime light (NTL) data were used to measure the performance of economic growth. In addition, an environmental pressure index (EPI) assessment framework covering 6 primary and 11 secondary indicators was constructed to measure the environmental quality of China over time. First, NTL data proved to be a valid data source for assessing decoupling performance; second, environmental pressure at both the national and provincial levels significantly decreased during the study period; third, the relationship between the economy and the environment has been further improved, and economic growth and environmental protection have achieved a “win–win” situation. These findings offer an in-depth analysis of the decoupling of the economy and the environment in China and serve as a guide for future implementation strategies for sustainable development in various regions.

Coupling driving factors of eco-environmental protection and high-quality development in the yellow river basin

Most cities in the Yellow River Basin are located in the central and western regions of China. Restricted by historical evolution, natural environment, resource endowments and other conditions, the economic and social development model of the Yellow River Basin region is outdated, and the level of economic and social development is relatively lagging, which hinders its coordinated development of ecology and economy. This paper uses the coupling coordination degree model, GIS spatial analysis method, NAR neural network model, spatial autoregression, and geographically weighted regression model to investigate the coupling coordination level, spatial differentiation characteristics, future development trend, and coupling driving factors of eco-environmental protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin. The results show that From 2003 to 2018, the level of eco-environmental protection and high-quality development in most areas of the Yellow River Basin gradually improved, presenting a spatial imbalance characteristic of “high in the east and low in the west. The coupling coordination degree of eco-environmental protection and high-quality development in various regions of the Yellow River Basin increased year by year during the survey period. In 2018, most cities had been transformed into intermediate coordinated development areas, and most cities in Inner Mongolia and the middle and lower reaches south of the Yellow River have been upgraded to a well-coordinated development stage. The coupled and coordinated development relationship between eco-environmental protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin has significant spatial agglomeration characteristics, and the local spatial positive correlation gradually increases. From 2019 to 2023, the average level of coupling coordination between eco-environmental protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin during the forecast period is 0.802, 0.807, 0.809, 0.813, and 0.816, respectively, all of which have entered a stage of well-coordinated development. The coupled driving factors of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin are ranked from strong to weak: energy utilization, urbanization, water resources development, and industrialization. Among them, the degree of energy utilization is the root of the differentiation of coupling coordination between eco-environmental protection and high-quality development in 74 regions of the Yellow River Basin. This study puts forward two strategic suggestions based on the optimal utilization strategy of energy and water resources and the coordinated promotion strategy of industrialization and urbanization, which has great practical and scientific significance for promoting the coordinated development of ecological environment protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.

Research on the Current Situation of Employment Mobility and Retention Rate Predictions of “Double First-Class” University Graduates Based on the Random Forest and BP Neural Network Models

The economic development of various regions is influenced by high-quality population mobility. The research object of this article is the employment mobility data of “Double First-Class” university graduates from 2014 to 2019; the subsequent analysis is based on these data. First, this paper summarizes the current state of university graduates’ employment mobility. Second, this paper employs the fixed-effect model and PCA method to conclude that economic factors are the primary factors influencing university graduates’ employment mobility. Finally, based on the nonlinear, small sample, and high-dimensional characteristics of university graduates’ employment mobility data, this paper employs the random forest and BP neural network methods to build a prediction model for university graduates’ employment retention rate. The results show that the BP neural network model outperforms the random forest model in terms of prediction accuracy. The BP neural network model can accurately predict the employment retention rate of “Double First-Class” university graduates, which can guide the reasonable mobility of university graduates and provide a reference for government universities and individuals to make decisions.

Water strategies and water–food Nexus: challenges and opportunities towards sustainable development in various regions of the World

The twenty-first century is witnessing an explosion in global population, environmental changes, agricultural land disintegration, hunger, and geopolitical instabilities. It is difficult to manage these conditions or standardize improvement systems without thinking of the three main elements or subsystems that are necessary for any meaningful development—namely water (W), energy (E), and food (F). These key elements form what is globally agreed upon as the “WEF Nexus.” While considering them, one should think about the other key factors that influence WEF Nexus, including population’s growth, impacts of environmental changes (including climate change), moderation and adaptation regimes to climate change and climate resilience, loss of biodiversity, and sustainable nature. Together, the WEF Nexus subsystems represent a framework to ensure environmental protection that should be seen as an ethical and socioeconomic obligation. Issues, such as protection of water resources, and strategies and management tools or mechanisms for the use of water assets and agricultural innovations under the obligations of sustainable use, are investigated in this paper. Attention is paid to the relationship between water and food (WF Nexus) or water for food security in various world regions, including the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Central Asia countries and the Caucasus, China, Africa, and Canada. This paper also presents analyses of a great number of up-to-date publications regarding the “Nexus” perspective and its applications and limitations. This paper suggests that the Nexus’ approach, in its different concepts (WEF, WE, WF and EF), can promote sustainable development and improve the quality of life of communities, while preserving natural, human, and social capital, addressing sustainability challenges, and protecting natural resources and the environment for long-term use.

Estimating population norms for the health-related quality of life of adults in southern Jiangsu Province, China

Although national health-related quality of life population norms had been published based on the EuroQol 5-Dimensions 5-levels scale, China is a vast country with diverse cultural and social development in various regions. Therefore, regional population norms may better reflect the health status of residents in a given area. The purpose of the study was to derive the HRQoL population norm for adult general population in southern Jiangsu Province using the EQ-5D-5L scale and explore potential influencing factors. The data were based on a cross-sectional survey conducted in Liyang City from March 2019 to July 2020. EQ-5D-5L utility scores based on Chinese value set and EQ-VAS scores were used to assess HRQoL. The Tobit regression model and generalized linear model were performed to identify the association among potential covariates and HRQoL. The means (95% confidence interval) of the EQ-5D-5L utility scores and EQ-VAS scores were 0.981(0.980–0.983) and 83.6(83.2–83.9), respectively. Younger people (≤ 40 years old) were more likely to experience problems with anxiety or depression. Additionally, women had lower HRQoL scores although multivariate analysis found no statistical difference between the sexes. Lower HRQoL was associated with advanced age, lower socioeconomic status, no spouse, lack of regular physical activities, smoking cessation, and chronic non-communicable diseases. Subjects who declared that they were afflicted by diseases presented significantly lower utility scores, ranging from 0.823 (0.766–0.880) for memory-related diseases to 0.978 (0.967–0.989) for hepatic diseases. Regional population norms of HRQoL are needed in the health economic study owing to the great socioeconomic differences across regions in China. The present study provides HRQoL population norms for adults in southern Jiangsu. These norm values could help policy makers better allocate limited health resources and prioritize service plans.

Measurement and Optimization Strategy of Urban Environmental Governance Efficiency in Different Provinces of China

The urban environment has certain attributes of public products, and its governance activities are often led by the government. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has actively promoted the coordination of resources and the environment, steadily promoted the construction of socialist ecological civilization, and sought breakthroughs in urban environmental governance methods, governance scopes, and governance concepts. Studying the level and efficiency of urban environmental governance in different regions is conducive to the realization of coordinated urban and rural development and the improvement of regional comprehensive environmental conditions. This paper uses data envelopment analysis to measure the urban environmental governance efficiency of 31 provinces in China in 2019, and quantitatively analyze and compare comprehensive technical efficiency score, pure technical efficiency score, scale efficiency score, and return to scale. It is found that (1) the urban development in various regions is unbalanced, and the efficiency of environmental governance varies greatly; (2) the overall efficiency of urban environmental governance in Jilin, Liaoning, Ningxia, and Tibet is relatively good. The pure technical efficiency score of urban environmental governance in Guangdong, Hunan, and Shandong performed relatively well; The economies of scale in Guizhou, Hainan and Qinghai are relatively obvious, and the growth level of urban environmental governance output factors is higher than that of input factors. China should refine the investment direction of environmental governance, introduce advanced environmental governance technologies, explore comprehensive governance models involving all citizens, and formulate environmental governance plans that meet the actual conditions of the city, so as to improve the efficiency of urban environmental governance, optimize the level of urban environmental governance, and realize the sustainable development of economy, resources and environment.

Regional Sustainable Performance of Construction Industry in China from the Perspective of Input and Output: Considering Occupational Safety

Improving the poor sustainability of the construction industry requires long-term actions, especially in developing countries such as China. Regional sustainability assessment plays an indispensable role, contributing to a better understanding of the state of development in various regions. However, few studies have focused on the overall sustainability of regional construction industries, and occupational safety is generally ignored. To fill these gaps, an input-output system is established to evaluate regional sustainable performance of the construction industry (SPCI), which is made to include occupational safety by introducing the number of fatalities as an undesirable output. An evaluation model is constructed by combining window analysis with a super-slack-based measure data envelopment analysis (windows-super-SBM DEA). The SPCI in China’s 30 provinces from 2010 to 2017 is dynamically evaluated, and regional differences are further analyzed, with eight regions being defined. The results indicate that (1) the overall SPCI in China has fluctuated smoothly around a slight downward trend. By comparison, the integration of occupational safety refreshes the relative performance of most provinces; (2) dividing China into eight regions presents more detailed information because of those regions’ smaller coverage areas, and more attention should be given to the northeast, northwest, Middle Yellow River region and east coast because of the decrease in the SPCI; and (3) vigorously developing of the construction industry does not necessarily result in a large number of byproducts if the relevant policy is sufficiently strong. The findings of this study are conducive to rationally allocating resources and formulating targeted policies.

Does Green Governance Efficiency and Green Finance Polices Matters in Sustainable Environment: Implications for Public Health.

Rapid and widespread changes in the environment and climate, such as rising temperatures, water and air pollution, floods, and droughts, disease vector migration are putting human health at risk. In this case, green governance is an essential driver for the restructuring of economic development and realizing a green technological revolution for sustainable development and its implications for public health. This article aims to explore the effects and interrelationships of green governance and green finance policies on sustainable development in various regions of China's from 2008 to 2018 using panel data estimation technique. The findings show that China's overall green governance index and green finance policies resulted in a substantial decrease in environmental pollution during the study time. Financial inclusion also be a factor to the reduction of CO2 emissions and has a positive influence on environmental security investment projects, according to our findings. China is on track to become a world leader in an enactment of green finance concept, and controllers must speed up the development of green finance products and strengthen financial institutions' ability to provide green credit. Policymakers should promote green governance and green fiancé to keenly play a part in environmental security projects that boost green spending while minimizing the procedural risk.

Molecular Markers of Adult Neurogenesis in the Telencephalon and Tectum of Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss.

In the brain of teleost fish, radial glial cells are the major type of astroglial cells. To answer the question as to how radial glia structures adapt to the continuous growth of the brain, which is characteristic of salmonids, it is necessary to study various types of cells (neuronal precursors, astroglial cells, and cells in a state of neuronal differentiation) in the major integrative centers of the salmon brain (telencephalon and tectum opticum), using rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, as a model. A study of the distribution of several molecular markers in the telencephalon and tectum with the identification of neural stem/progenitor cells, neuroblasts, and radial glia was carried out on juvenile (three-year-old) O. mykiss. The presence of all of these cell types provides specific conditions for the adult neurogenesis processes in the trout telencephalon and tectum. The distribution of glutamine synthetase, a molecular marker of neural stem cells, in the trout telencephalon revealed a large population of radial glia (RG) corresponding to adult-type neural stem cells (NSCs). RG dominated the pallial region of the telencephalon, while, in the subpallial region, RG was found in the lateral and ventral zones. In the optic tectum, RG fibers were widespread and localized both in the marginal layer and in the periventricular gray layer. Doublecortin (DC) immunolabeling revealed a large population of neuroblasts formed in the postembryonic period, which is indicative of intense adult neurogenesis in the trout brain. The pallial and subpallial regions of the telencephalon contained numerous DC+ cells and their clusters. In the tectum, DC+ cells were found not only in the stratum griseum periventriculare (SGP) and longitudinal torus (TL) containing proliferating cells, but also in the layers containing differentiated neurons: the central gray layer, the periventricular gray and white layers, and the superficial white layer. A study of the localization patterns of vimentin and nestin in the trout telencephalon and tectum showed the presence of neuroepithelial neural stem cells (eNSCs) and ependymoglial cells in the periventricular matrix zones of the brain. The presence of vimentin and nestin in the functionally heterogeneous cell types of adult trout indicates new functional properties of these proteins and their heterogeneous involvement in intracellular motility and adult neurogenesis. Investigation into the later stages of neuronal development in various regions of the fish brain can substantially elucidate the major mechanisms of adult neurogenesis, but it can also contribute to understanding the patterns of formation of certain brain regions and the involvement of RG in the construction of the definite brain structure.

Research on the construction and measurement of inclusive finance evaluation index system

This paper constructs an evaluation index system for the development level of inclusive finance from four dimensions: the availability of financial services, the degree of utilization of financial services, the depth of financial services, and the sustainability of financial services. We use the standard deviation modified G1 combination weighting method to determine index weight and measure the development level of inclusive finance in China’s 31 provincial administrative regions. The research results show that the overall level of development of inclusive finance in China is quite different, and the development of various regions is unbalanced. We should focus on increasing the depth of use of financial services and promote the sustainability of inclusive finance.

Statistical Research on the Development of Rural Tourism Economy Industry under the Background of Big Data

China is rich in rural tourism resources. In recent years, rural tourism has been the focus of tourism development in various regions, which has greatly promoted the development of rural economy. But at the same time, low efficiency, unreasonable development, and homogeneous tourism environment have affected rural tourism and reduced the competitiveness of rural tourism. In order to explore innovative ideas and countermeasures for the development of “big data + rural tourism,” improve the development of rural tourism economy and industry, and improve the competitiveness of rural tourism, based on related researches on rural tourism, tourism competitiveness, coordination, etc., starting from the particularity of the rural tourism system, this paper proposes the use of coordination and coupling theory to analyze the status quo of rural tourism economic industry in a certain place in Jiangxi. The interaction of efficiency and competitiveness of rural tourism, such as infrastructure, has been studied in depth. The study found that, in rural tourism, efficiency and competitiveness are positively related. The higher the environmental index, the stronger the competitiveness. When the environment and competitiveness are coordinated, the economic benefits that can be created are about 30% higher than normal. This shows that, for rural tourism to develop better, it is an indispensable condition for the coordination of competitiveness and the environment.

Dampak Investasi Infrastruktur Di Sulawesi Selatan Terhadap Struktur Ekonomi Wilayah Di Indonesia

The government has carried out infrastructure development in various regions of Indonesia to encourage regional growth and address development inequalities. In Presidential Decree No. 48 In 2014, the Province of South Sulawesi (Sulsel), which is in the Eastern Region of Indonesia (KTI), received an infrastructure investment value of IDR 39.47 trillion consisting of 33 projects. This paper analyzes the impact of infrastructure investment in South Sulawesi using the IRIO 2015 table to see how much impact it has on output, added value, and income for South Sulawesi, other provinces in Sulawesi Island, the KTI region, and the West Region of Indonesia (KBI). From the results, it can be seen that the total impact of infrastructure development is mostly received by South Sulawesi itself, but the rest of the impact flows are more received by provinces in the KBI region than KTI. To increase the flow of impact to KTI areas, local governments must strengthen economic cooperation between regions in KTI areas so that the economic sector in other regions can be lifted

TINGKAT PENERAPAN KESELAMATAN, KESEHATAN KERJA DAN LINGKUNGAN (K3L) PADA PROYEK KONSTRUKSI

Increased development in various regions in Indonesia, especially in the city of Medan, makes many contactors compete with each other in implementing a project. Starting from the time, quality, and cost. However, there are still many contractors who ignore Occupational Safety, Health and Environment (K3L). This study aims to determine the level of application of Occupational Safety, Health and Environment (K3L) in construction projects. Occupational Health, Safety and Environment (K3L) is a program that aims to create a safe, healthy workplace. So that it can reduce the risk of work accidents and occupational diseases as low as possible on the project.
 The theory used in this study uses quantitative methods that tend to produce descriptive results. The sampling technique was carried out by observation and questionnaire. The instrument used comes from the Minister of Public Works Regulation No. 9 of 2008. This research was conducted on the Cinema Grand Jati Junction construction project located on Jln Perintis Kemerdekaan, Medan
 The results of the research on the level of application of Occupational Safety, Health, and Environment (K3L) for the Cinema Grand Jati Junction construction project on Jln Perintis Kemerdekaan, Medan amounted to 90.54%. The completeness of K3L facilities in the project was 86.7%.

Cooperation between Sea Ports and Carriers in the Logistics Chain

In a modern economy, international trade is an important factor in the development of various regions. Shipping is one of the most important elements of the global supply chain. However, after the economic crisis of 2008, global shipping revenues plummeted. One way to restore profitability is the consolidation of shipping routes and the globalization of shipping lines. As container transport lines move to larger ships, the structure of the delivery route becomes a structure with intermediate points. This trend put forward higher demands on the port infrastructure, which aggravated the competition between regional ports, as well as ports that could degrade into a large cargo consolidation port. The economic advantage is enhanced by cooperation between shipping lines and ports. Thus, ports and shipping lines in the same supply chain can be mutually beneficial partners. The study analyses the effectiveness of horizontal and vertical cooperation between ports and carriers. As a source of information, a review of the literature on this issue, expert opinions, and statistical data is taken. Next, a mathematical model is built on the basis of cooperative game theory, and numerical analysis is carried out. The results show that the strategy of cooperation of shipping lines strongly depends on the situation with the supply and demand of vessels. A port that interacts with shipping lines will significantly reduce port charges, which creates the advantage of receiving more port requests. However, cooperation may lead to losses for the port, so a redistribution of profits is necessary to maintain the coalition.

Economic Cooperation Between Russia and Mongolia (to the 100th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations Between Russia and Mongolia)

In modern conditions, threats and risks are constantly emerging for the sustainable socio-economic development of various regions of the world, including Russia. In this regard, one of the most important is the problem of sustainable dynamic development of the country and its closest partner-countries, one of which is Mongolia. The article presents a historical analysis of international relations between Russia and Mongolia. The main points of the development of the economy of the RSFSR, the USSR and Mongolia after the signing of the coopera­tion agreement in 1921 are described. The analysis of the changed geopolitical conditions of the socio-economic development of Russia and Mongolia in connection with the collapse of the world socialist system and the unfolding modern economic crisis is carried out. The conducted research made it possible to conclude that it is necessary to develop a scientifically based medium-and long-term strategy for the socio-economic development of the country in the new geopoliti­cal realities. Recommendations on strengthening the role of the state in regulating the real sector of the economy and investment processes are offered. The study shows that the main directions of state policy in the field of sustainable development and national security, including food security, should be social, political and economic transformations for the sustainable development of the regions.

Spatiotemporal evolution of the green efficiency of industrial water resources and its influencing factors in the Poyang Lake region

Improving the green efficiency of industrial water resources (GEIWR) in the Poyang Lake region is an effective way to address the inefficient use of regional water resources and mitigate severe industrial water pollution. This paper uses the super efficiency slack-based measure (SBM) model to analyze the spatial and temporal evolution of the GEIWR from 2005 to 2019, and use the Tobit regression model to explore the factors affecting the GEIWR in the Poyang Lake region. The results are as follows. First, the average value of the GEIWR in the Poyang Lake region is 0.71, and the overall level is high, but the regional differences are apparent. Second, the overall GEIWR in the region show an increasing trend, but the development of various regions is uneven, and the difference in pure technical efficiency among cities is the main reason for the difference in the GEIWR from 2005 to 2019. Third, Jingdezhen is the city with the lowest GEIWR, and it is also the key to improving the overall efficiency of the region. Finally, the treatment capacity of industrial wastewater facilities, the government's deployment of science and technology expenditures and the degree of industrialization have a positive impact on the GEIWR. The economic development level and industrial water intensity have no obvious correlation with the GEIWR in the Poyang Lake region.

Research on the conservation and sustainable development strategies of modern historical heritage in the Dabie Mountains based on GIS

Abstract With the advancement of China’s economy and the acceleration of urbanization, the conservation and sustainable development of historical architectural heritage has become the focus of the current and future society. However, there are still many deficiencies in the conservation and development of modern architectural cultural heritage. Due to the scattered distribution of heritage space and the lack of overall planning in the process of conservation and development, there are some problems, such as uneven development in various regions, insufficient integration of resources, serious destruction of cultural heritage, and so on. This article takes the modern historical and cultural heritage of the Dabie Mountains as the research object and integrates its resources according to different types with the Geographical Information System platform to establish the historical heritage basic database. Data attributes are analyzed through dot density, traffic accessibility, and other spatial elements, whose results are used to evaluate the conservation and utilization status of the regional historical heritage. On that basis, combined with the distribution characteristics of historical resources, this article puts forward the conservation planning scheme based on the level and focus, and the sustainable development structure of group development and linkage development, so as to realize the transformation from section conservation to sustainable development. It also presents new ideas and technical methods for historical heritage conservation and sustainable development of the Dabie Mountains.
