Abstract Agritourism acts as a catalyst for rural revival by fostering economic diversity, cultural preservation, environmental sustainability, and community engagement. The integration of agriculture and tourism improves socio-economic welfare, preserves cultural heritage, and promotes sustainable resource utilization. Due to its contributions to rural economic and social advancement, the industry faces enduring obstacles, including insufficient infrastructure, constrained skill development, and limited market access. This paper analyzes the development, socio-economic effects, and growth prospects of agritourism in India in a worldwide framework. It underscores the significance of non-agricultural farm-based activities in bolstering rural economies, creating employment opportunities, and providing genuine rural experiences. The analysis underscores the importance of institutional support, legislative frameworks, and extension services in enabling farmers to become agri-entrepreneurs. Furthermore, it examines how value enhancement and digital technologies might enhance competitiveness, establishing agritourism as a viable and export-oriented industry. Agritourism serves as an additional revenue stream and a pivotal catalyst for rural change.

ABSTRACT Global sustainability rests upon the twin pillars of the worldwide economy and a quality environment. The world faces significant challenges, including poverty, environmental pollution, and issues related to globalisation. Therefore, developing effective strategies for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals within the designated timeframe is necessary. Every corner of this globe is facing those challenges. To address these global concerns, this study asserts that achieving consistent solutions necessitates the development of a rational, environmentally sustainable, and diversified economy. Islamic economies maintain stability by adhering to permissible practices like halal goods and avoiding prohibited actions such as riba (interest), gharar (excessive speculation), and other Shari’ah restrictions. Key findings of this study indicate that developing a sustainable and environmentally conscious green economy requires effective methods and a diverse range of Shari’ah-compliant financial sources. Efficient production and diversification of the Islamic economy would improve socio-economic conditions and preserve the environment by addressing several international complexities. This study aims to describe an environmentally friendly, sustainable green economy with diversification in a Shari’ah-compliant way. Case study and document analysis methods have been applied to achieve the aim of this research. To analyse and justify the arguments, this paper has reviewed various primary and secondary sources, such as legislation, treaties and relevant scholarly literature. The significance of this study is that it explores, assesses and suggests all possible instruments and sources of Islamic economy that could be diversified for the growth of the global economy, sustainable development and a quality environment.

Introduction In-situ soil thermal desorption (ISTD) has been recognized as an effective and promising technology for remediating organic contamination in soil and groundwater. However, high energy consumption poses a major constraint on its remediation costs. Methods In this study, an optimization method for in-situ soil thermal desorption was proposed that combines machine learning with a heat transfer process model. This method optimized the heat flow by effectively predicting the temperature distribution during ISTD, thereby enhancing energy utilization and reducing technical costs. Results The results show that total energy consumption can be significantly reduced under variable heat flow conditions compared to constant heat flow, with energy savings of 35.93–48.86%. The practical technical implementation requires careful consideration of factors such as heating time, fluctuations at the cold spot temperature, and the intensity of the heat flow. Discussion This study provides essential technical support for the advancement of ISTD technology in practical engineering applications and the strategic optimization of soil remediation methods. The proposed optimization method addresses the core issue of high energy consumption in ISTD, offering a feasible solution to enhance the economic viability and sustainability of organic-contaminated soil remediation.

Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a significant social policy domain that directly influences the overall welfare of society, economic sustainability, social equality, and public health. Developing a robust OHS culture plays a critical role in achieving a country's sustainable development goals. Teachers play a crucial role in establishing an OHS culture in educational institutions. In this study, a survey was conducted with a total of 546 teachers working in 44 vocational and technical high schools in Samsun Province. The data collected from the research were analyzed using the SPSS statistical program. Parametric tests, such as the T-test and ANOVA, along with descriptive statistical methods (frequency, percentage, count), were employed to determine whether teachers' culture varied based on demographic characteristics. The analysis revealed that the OHS culture levels of teachers working in vocational high schools were above average. Furthermore, a weak but positive relationship was identified between teachers' OHS culture levels and the adequacy of the OHS training provided by the Ministry of Education in meeting minimum requirements. Based on the demographic analysis, statistically significant differences were found in teachers' OHS culture levels according to gender, age, prior OHS training received, and teaching branches. However, no significant differences were observed based on professional seniority or education level.

The aging of three-layer polyethylene-coated buried steel pipelines for oil/gas and water transport poses significant challenges for public safety, environmental integrity, and economic sustainability. Over time, these pipelines become increasingly susceptible to corrosion and eventual failures, which can pose environmental hazards, safety risks, and costly repairs. Consequently, predicting the service life of polyethylene-coated steel pipelines is critical for mitigating corrosion risks, extending operational lifespan, and planning effective maintenance strategies. Current international standards lack clear methodologies and criteria for assessing the aging behavior of polyethylene-coated underground pipelines. Current studies have examined two techniques—Line Current Attenuation (LCA) and Drainage Test (DT)—to estimate aging rates in polyolefin-coated pipelines following soil exposure during service. The present study introduces an innovative approach for evaluating aging behavior. It includes a comprehensive analysis using an exponential aging model to estimate the coating’s average specific electrical resistance at any service time, as well as quantitative criteria for the failure of oil/gas and water pipelines. Moreover, it is based on the modified LCA as the most suitable aging methodology with some limitations. Finally, the study concludes with a derived correlation between the coating’s initial specific electrical resistance and its aging rates, and the prediction of the residual life of the polyethylene coating. This integrated framework provides a robust foundation for regulatory bodies, design engineers, maintenance planners, quality assurance/control teams, and researchers to ensure the long-term integrity and sustainability of underground polyethylene-coated steel pipelines.
