Green growth as a determinant of ecological footprint: Do ICT diffusion, environmental innovation, and natural resources matter?

The nexus between green growth and ecological footprint is associated with crucial environmental implications. But this domain is not examined sufficiently and provides ambiguous findings. Furthermore, these studies have not addressed the role of natural resources, environmental innovation, and ICT in influencing ecological footprint. Our study analyzes the impact of green growth, ICT, environmental innovation, and natural resources on the ecological footprint ofemerging-7 and developed-7 economies. We employed CS-ARDL methodology to draw the long-run and short-run estimates of the said relationships. The obtained findings show that green growth, ICT, and environmental innovation reduce the ecological footprint in emerging economies in the long run. However, natural resources enhance the ecological footprint in emerging economies in the long run. Green growth, ICT, natural resources, and environmental innovation reduce the ecological footprint in the long run in developed economies. Based on these outcomes, the study recommends important policy suggestions.

Nexus between information and communication technology, social capital, and sustainable development: the leading role of terrorism and financial development.

Even though the existing studies have extensively investigated the impacts of information and communication technology and social capital on sustainable development, the literature overlooks the role of their interaction effect in the level of emissions. To fill this gap in the existing body of ICT-environment literature, this article analyzes the impact of ICT, social capital, terrorism, and income on sustainable development using panel data model for Asian and Middle East countries from 2005 to 2022. The findings show that ICT and education significantly reduce CO2 emissions, while income increases the CO2 emissions. Moreover, innovation, trade, and financial development reduce the CO2 emission from increased ICT. The findings suggest that ICT is an important factor in increasing income and social capital and improving investment in sustainable development. The region's economies have far more serious consequences for internet users than those of Asian countries. Nonetheless, according to the policy recommendations of this study, governments in Asia and the Middle East should invest more in technology and other systems to take advantage of technology and achieve sustainable development.

Impact of ICT on Unemployment: A Global Empirical Analysis

This study explores the relationship between ICT development and the unemployment rate in a cross-country setup. The relationship between the development of ICTs and human labour has always been debated among researchers. The debate revolves around whether ICT substitutes or complements human labour. This relationship still has not ended at a meeting point. This study utilizes the ICT index from International Telecommunication Unit to capture broader coverage of ICT development in the country. This index arguably improves the accuracy and comparability of variable measurement. Furthermore, this research conducts a heterogeneity analysis of ICT's impact by considering the unemployed education level and the country's development stage. The empirical method employs in panel data setup, namely Fixed Effect Model. The data consist of 57 countries in the period 2015-2017. Interestingly, this study finds that ICT development corresponds to a decrease in total unemployment by 1%, with the largest effect on unemployed with medium education. By heterogeneity analysis, this beneficial effect is only applied in developed countries. The study results indicate that the developing country should be more cautious and adaptive in mitigating the rapid ICT waves.

ICT's impact on CO2 emissions in GCC region: The relevance of energy use and financial development

This study looks into ICT's asymmetrical impact on emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) controlling energy use and financial development (FD) in GCC countries. It uses panel data covering 1995–2019, employs 2nd generation unit root and Westerlund cointegration tests, and applies panel-pooled “generalized least square (GLS)” techniques. The “pooled mean group (PMG)” method and the “Dumitrescu-Hurlin (D-H)” causality test are employed to verify the robustness of GLS estimation. The bootstrap cointegration test corroborates a long-run cointegration among variables. GLS findings exhibit an asymmetric relation between ICT and CO2 emissions; both the affirmative and negative shocks of ICT and FD are associated with decreased CO2 emissions, while energy use enhances the latter. Hence, promoting ICT is essential to reduce CO2 discharges in the GCC region due to its large negative stimulus on CO2 emissions. The PMG estimation also produces findings similar to those of the GLS outcomes and verifies the GLS outcomes' robustness. The D-H causality check also validates the GLS and PMG outcomes.

Teaching Learning Process in Higher Education with the Impact of ICT: An Analytical Review

Abstract—“As models of the teaching–learning process are addressed or when learning difficulties arise, the relationship between teaching, training, and children's learning comes up. Despite extensive study, we still have little understanding of how variations in learning activities affect students' learning. The importance of teachers and teaching as key study subjects has resulted in a restricted understanding of what happens in schools and classrooms. Few studies of teachers and teaching have looked at the degree to which disparities in teacher effectiveness are linked to differences in subject matter expertise, and there is still a tendency to talk about teaching and learning in broad terms without considering the material that has been learned. The author of this article argues that studies of teaching and learning must be linked to studies of the topic in order to create a dialogue between didactics and classroom studies. It is necessary to create an analytical design and structure capable of bridging the teaching– learning gap. Emerging developments in video/audio recording provide one line of inquiry into how various thematic trends are related to instructional activities and classroom interaction formats. Keywords— Teaching Learning Process, Mentor, Role of Teacher, Higher Education.

IMPACT OF E-RECRUITMENT ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HR MANAGEMENT IN COMPANIES: THE CASE OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Human resources play a significant role in a company as human capital affects the company´s success and competitiveness. Effective HR management helps the company achieve its goals. Key HR activities in acquiring human capital are recruitment, training, and retention of employees. Finding the right employees is of great importance to a company and this process should be fast and efficient. E-recruitment, as an ICT-based process, can increase the efficiency of the recruitment process and HRM. Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is struggling with strong migration processes, mostly the workforce since numerous youth and families are migrating to Europe. This affects the ability of companies to find new employees, retain existing employees and attract talented ones. The main aim of this paper is to investigate to what extent the companies in B&H use e-recruitment and how it affects the overall effectiveness of the HR management process. The paper is based on survey research conducted among 100 medium and large companies with developed HR departments in B&H. The results indicate that the companies are aware of the importance of HR for the company´s success, they are aware of technological advances and the impact of ICT on the HRM processes, but they still do not rely only on e-recruitment in acquiring new talents and employees. However, the results also indicate that the e-recruitment process leads to the time and cost efficiency of the HR recruitment process.

The impact of ICT on Shaping Reflexes and Manual Coordination in Children and Teenagers: Pupils’ and Teachers’ Opinions

The article presents part of a diagnostic and correlational study of mixed character that establishes pupils’ information competency in the use of ICT methods and tools. It investigates the effects of children’s and teenagers’ ICT use (importance levels of new media influence) on improving reflexes and manual coordination. To obtain the data, the author used a diagnostic survey method (questionnaire and interview) and statistical methods (chi-square test of independence and Pearson’s correlation coefficient). Together, 2,510 pupils and 1,110 teachers were surveyed. It was found that in the aggregated importance hierarchy of ICT effects, the category ‘reflexes and manual coordination’ was given a high weight by the pupils (third place) and a very high weight by the teachers (second place). There was a faint and negative correlation (r @ -0.009) between pupils’ opinions and teachers’ observations on the effects of ICT use by children and teenagers in the improvement of reflexes and manual coordination. The calculations of differential factors revealed statistically significant differences between the opinions of the two groups and gender, educational stage, place of learning and the gender of teachers. There was a noticeable discrepancy between the pupils’ and teachers’ opinions: a not very significant ‘separation’ of the world of children and teenagers (‘us’) from the world of teachers (‘them’). This may raise concerns as teachers’ recognition and understanding of students’ needs, according to the ideas of constructivism, is one of the key factors in the success of the educational process.

The Dynamic Impact of Financial Inclusion and ICT Diffusion on Sustainable Economic Development: Evidence from the MENA Region

This study investigates the dynamic relationship between financial inclusion, ICT development, renewable energy, and sustainable economic growth in the MENA region. Recognizing the growing importance of these factors in shaping the trajectory of sustainable economic development. This paper aims to contribute to the existing literature by providing new evidence from the MENA region, on how the interaction between financial inclusion and ICT development can lead to higher economic growth. This Study examines the impact of ICT diffusion and financial inclusion on economic growth by using an economic growth model that incorporates the joint effect of these two factors. The study employs dynamic panel system GMM estimation and focuses on a sample of 15 countries in the MENA region from 2004 to 2021. The findings reveal significant and positive associations between financial inclusion, ICT development, and sustainable growth in the MENA region. The findings reveal that financial inclusion has a positive effect on growth, ICT is expected to enhance growth by improving digital skills and increasing the efficiency of the financial market, particularly in the banking sector. Effective use of ICT, such as branchless banking and mobile banking, can be cost-effective and improve financial accessibility for previously marginalized individuals, thereby fostering financial inclusion. The interaction effects between ICT diffusion and finance are positive, indicating that the combined impact of ICT and financial inclusion can mitigate the negative effects of ICT investments.

Social media, youth (im)mobilities, and the risks of connectivity in urban Somaliland

Young people in cities in the Horn of Africa engage with diasporic mobility through social media on a daily basis. Apparent opportunities on these platforms both reflect and shape ideas about life in the diaspora, potential migration, and social mobility. These connections also bring risks of scamming, extortion and misinformation that contribute to the involuntary immobility of those who wish to move for economic or educational opportunities. Drawing from ‘screen-shot elicitation’ group interviews with young men in Hargeisa (Somaliland) and digital ethnographic investigation of social media content gathered before, during and after these sessions, this article argues that transnational flows of mobility-related information need to be studied from the perspective of people within contexts commonly understood as ‘sources’ of south-north migration, but beyond policy-orientated questions about the impact of ICTs on rates of migration. Emphasising the highly ambivalent role played by social media in shaping aspirations and experiences of youth (im)mobility, this approach brings into view a wider range of socially significant online practices. These include the transnational assemblage of elaborate digital scamming techniques, as well as multiple other types of mobility-focused user-generated content that circulate in transnational Somali social (media) networks.

The Impact of ICT Capital Services on Economic Growth and Energy Efficiency in China

This study aims to investigate the impact of ICT capital services on economic growth and energy efficiency in China at both national and industrial levels during the period 2000–2020. To achieve this aim, this study introduces a measurement method for capital services, explores ICT’s contributions to economic growth, and analyzes the impact of ICT on energy efficiency. The empirical results of this study indicate that although the ICT capital services scale is relatively small, accounting for only 8.87% of the total in 2020, its growth rate is faster than that of non-ICT capital services, and the distribution of ICT capital services varies widely among different industries. Additionally, based on the economic growth decomposition framework, this study finds that the contribution of ICT capital services to economic growth is 6.95% on average. It is significantly higher in certain industries, such as Financial industry; Information transmission, software and information technology services; Construction; and Manufacturing compared to others. The total factor energy efficiency (TFEE) reveals that industries with higher energy consumption have lower energy efficiency, while the panel regression model illustrates that the development of ICT has a positive impact on improving energy efficiency, with variability across industries. Overall, the findings of this study provide crucial scientific evidence and policy implications for promoting the development of ICT and integrating it with various industries, which can significantly contribute to boosting economic growth and energy efficiency.
