Research on Environmental Performance Evaluation of Metallurgical Listed Companies Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process

In recent years, the public has paid more and more attention to environmental issues, and building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society has become one of the important goals of China's economic construction. Therefore, metallurgical listed companies urgently need to build a reasonable and effective environmental performance evaluation index system to evaluate the environmental management effect of enterprises. Based on analytic hierarchy process, aiming at the lack of environmental performance evaluation research of metallurgical listed companies at this stage, this paper will design and build an environmental performance evaluation index system for metallurgical enterprises, and reasonably and scientifically evaluate the environmental situation of metallurgical listed companies from the perspective of economic input, environmental governance, and social concern, and draw the following conclusions: (1) metallurgical listed companies should put environmental governance at the top of the overall environment, We will invest more in environmental protection projects and project the concern of enterprises to the society. (2) The environmental protection of listed metallurgical companies is not only the macro goal of the company, but also needs to enable more stakeholders to actively participate in the process of environmental governance. (3) To build an environment-friendly society, we need not only government supervision, but also all kinds of enterprises to enhance their sense of social responsibility.

Impact of Tourists’ Perceived Value and Sense of Social Responsibility on the Low-Carbon Consumption Behavior Intention: A Case Study of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

People’s increasing attention towards environmental issues and carbon emission level per capita of consumption has made the influencing factors of low-carbon consumption behavior a research hotspot. In this study, a random sample of tourists in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in China were surveyed by questionnaire to examine the impact of tourists’ perceived value and sense of social responsibility on the low-carbon consumption behavior intention. Results suggest that tourists’ perceived value has a direct and significant positive effect on the sense of social responsibility and low-carbon consumption behavior intention. Tourists’ sense of social responsibility demonstrates a significant positive impact on consumption attitude, with the latter having a positive impact on tourists’ low-carbon consumption behavior intention. A sense of social responsibility and the consumption attitude are found to play an important intermediary role between perceived value and tourists’ low-carbon consumption behavior intention. Some suggestions for managing and promoting tourists’ low-carbon consumption behavior intention are also put forward in this paper.

Quarantine preparedness – the missing factor in COVID-19 behaviour change? Qualitative insights from Australia

BackgroundA key feature of the global public health response to contain and slow the spread of COVID-19 has been community-based quarantine and self-isolation. As part of The Optimise Study, this research sought to understand the factors that influence people’s ability to undertake home-based quarantine and isolation to contain the spread of COVID-19.MethodsSemi-structured qualitative phone interviews (n = 25) were conducted by telephone with people who participated in community-based quarantine in Australia before 31 March 2020. The Capability Opportunity Motivation Behaviour model was used to conduct a thematic analysis.ResultsParticipants required clear, accessible and trusted information to guide them in home-based quarantine and isolation. A sense of social responsibility and belief in the efficacy of the restrictions to reduce viral transmission aided their motivation. Access to essential needs, supportive living environments, and emotional support were required to adhere to restrictions, but few were prepared.ConclusionsFindings demonstrate that in addition to having the capability and motivation to adhere to restrictions, it is vital that people are also encouraged to prepare for the challenge to ensure access to physical, social and emotional support. Findings also illustrate the importance of engaging communities in planning and preparedness for quarantine and self-isolation public health responses.

Exploration of Practical Teaching Reform Based on High-quality International Talent Cultivation

The most prominent problem in the process of economic globalization is the shortage of high-quality international talents. As colleges and universities that train talents, they shoulder the important task of international talent training. However, there are still some deficiencies in the training of international talents in domestic universities, such as inconsistent practical teaching, incomplete teaching practice conditions, instable teaching staff, and unsound management system, etc. This paper starts with the problems existing in the practical teaching of international talent training in China, and then puts forward that the practical teaching of international talent training must be based on China's national conditions. By comparing and analyzing 39 journal articles, the author proposes some solutions to improve the ability of colleges and universities to cultivate high-quality international talents. During the process of cultivating high-quality international talents, colleges and universities must change ideas and build a perfect teaching system; Increase investment and provide excellent teaching conditions; Introduce talents to ensure the stability of the teaching staff; Innovate management and improve practical teaching mechanism. Only by this way, colleges and universities could cultivate more and more excellent high-quality international talents with a sense of social responsibility who have an international vision and Chinese feelings, are familiar with international rules, and can directly participate in international cooperation and competition.

Green Chemistry and its Role in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015 the United Nations declared a framework comprising 17 aspirational goals known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which was meant to be adopted by governments, industries, and other stakeholders worldwide to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people live with peace and prosperity by 2030. It can make the environment sustainable, in other words. Chemistry can play an essential role in helping society achieve the SDGs and Green Chemistry (GC) specifically may be a key player in this regard. GC complements other streams of chemistry, including environmental chemistry. Environmental Chemistry is the ‘chemistry of the environment’ that explains nature and the impact of man on nature. At the same time, GC is ‘chemistry for the environment’ i.e., more environmentally friendly chemistry. GC may be defined as “invention, design and application of chemical products and processes to reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances”. New chemical research, green and sustainable chemistry education, green and sustainable chemical manufacturing practices, and a sense of social responsibility are critical for all chemists worldwide as we work together to protect our planet Earth. SDGs including Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-being, Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Industries, Innovation and Infrastructure, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action is directly related to chemistry at large and GC in precise. Therefore, if we rightly practice GC, it serves the purpose of environmental sustainability and will be useful in achieving the SDGs, which will ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity in the long run. Green Chemistry Education is quite important in this regard, which needs to be practiced more and more.

Procurement from local producers for food service in primary and secondary school settings: A scoping review.

Australian school canteen guidelines do not broadly incentivise procuring food from local producers, despite evidence of this occurring abroad. This scoping review aims to investigate what is known about local food procurement for school foodservice. A scoping review of peer-reviewed articles published since 2000 was undertaken using MEDLINE, CINAHL and Scopus. Twenty-one studies met the inclusion criteria. Local food was generally perceived as fresher and more nutritious. Small, positive impacts on fruit and vegetable intake have been demonstrated when food is procured locally. Challenges identified included concerns around food safety, varied availability, time spent coordinating food supply, lack of incentive from regional or national guidelines, inadequate kitchen facilities and budget constraints. There is no universal definition or standard for procuring 'local food'. The main motivation for local food procurement was a sense of social responsibility, however there are barriers, including cost, facilities and food safety. Purchasing food locally holds potential to benefit the local economy but government funding and policy supporting local and small-scale producers is an important enabler. SO WHAT?: Government support to build stakeholder capacity is important in establishing and maintaining these programmes and would be crucial in achieving change in Australian schools. Investigating feasibility of a national school lunch service would be beneficial, as these programmes may have merit not just in feeding children but also in supporting the local economy. Further research is warranted in this area.

Emerging Trends in Global ELT: Implications for ELT in Bangladesh

This paper analyses the key emerging trends in global English language teaching (ELT) and discusses their implications for ELT in Bangladesh. ELT has become a worldwide profession, and its focuses are shifting over time. The emerging trends include the use of postmethod orientations, greater role of digital technologies, critical pedagogy, development of learners' intercultural communicative competences, teachers' continuing professional development, localisation of ELT, development of learners' autonomy and their sense of social responsibility and well-being, and increased use of formative assessments. ELT in Bangladesh cannot ignore all these emerging trends in global ELT. This paper, consequently, discusses the implications of these emerging trends for ELT in Bangladesh. It strongly argues that all the ELT stakeholders in Bangladesh must play a planned and active role in reflecting these trends in their practices.

Research on the Intervention and Application of Social Work in Life Education of College Students

The outline of the national medium and long-term education reform and development plan clearly puts forward that we should strengthen and pay attention to life education, promote students' physical and mental health and improve students' comprehensive quality. Colleges and universities actively take various forms and rely on existing platforms to carry out college students' life education, but most of them still follow the traditional teaching methods and carry out it through "big classroom", lectures and other forms. There are problems such as single education form, boring and unsystematic content, low student participation, and no fundamental solution to college students' life confusion. The actual effect of life education is very little. By introducing the concept and method of social work into the life education of college students, through case, group, community and other working methods, and through practice, this paper helps college students cherish life, improve the value of life and improve the life process. At the same time, it helps college students learn to care for themselves and others, learn to live in harmony with others, live in harmony with others and the environment, and cultivate their stronger sense of social responsibility, While improving the value of life, it can also promote their all-round development. It is suggested that colleges and universities, society and the government pay more attention to college students' life education, and constantly explore and apply new life education ideas and methods to improve the quality of life education.

The Core Value Strategy and Mentality Evolution of the New Era of Corporate Social Responsibility

The organic combination of corporate social responsibility psychological contract and economic power in the new era means that the economic thinking of business leaders needs the construction of economic thinking, and it also needs the reflection of psychological contract. As a concrete embodiment of the core value of corporate social responsibility, corporate brand should not only create an attractive brand image but also effectively transmit the core value of the enterprise to the society and assume social responsibility. This paper provides a tool that enables researchers to describe the structure and application of the evolution of the corporate social responsibility mindset, as well as to ensure the effective implementation of core value strategies for new-age companies. The framework provides a powerful tool for rapidly deciphering and understanding the evolution of the mindset of different corporate brands. Therefore, this paper deeply analyzes the core value strategy of corporate social responsibility in the current new era, finds out the deficiencies, and explores its root causes. In addition, a corporate psychological contract with a sense of social responsibility has won the recognition of consumers and even the public, and the ethical expression of the company is even more important.

From home to the streets: Can cultural socialization foster Latinx youths' social responsibility?

Grassroots movements such as Poder Quince exemplify how Latinx youth intertwine their cultural heritage and traditions with civic action to create positive change within their communities. Parents' cultural socialization messages have been shown to instill cultural pride and encourage prosocial behaviors (e.g., helping others, caring for younger siblings). However, there is a dearth of research on the sociopolitical discussions Latinx adolescents have with their parents and the mechanisms by which cultural socialization encourages prosocial civic development. Drawing on data from a sample of 269 self-identified Latinx youth from three Midwestern USschools, the present study explored the direct links between parental cultural socialization and adolescents' sense of social responsibility (i.e., concern for others and caring for community) as well as the potential indirect associations via sociopolitical and civic socialization at home. Our findings suggest direct associations between cultural socialization and caring for their communities. Additionally, we observed indirect associations between cultural socialization and youths' social responsibility via family civic socialization practices and engagement in sociopolitical discussions taking place in the home.

Factors Influencing the Waste Separation Behaviors of Urban Residents in Shaanxi Province during the 14th National Games of China.

The behaviors of urban residents in terms of waste separation at source are crucial to achieve the reduction and recycling of waste in urban governance. In this study, the data were collected from 1008 respondents in Shaanxi province, the host of China’s 14th National Games; theoretical and empirical analyses were conducted to determine the factors influencing waste separation behaviors, and specific policy suggestions are proposed. The results show that the waste separation behaviors of urban residents are positively influenced by their cognition of waste pollution, ecological values, sense of social responsibility, perceived knowledge, and perceived utilities of waste separation. Moreover, the residents’ waste separation intentions partially mediate the relationships between their cognition of waste pollution, ecological values, perceived utilities, and waste separation behaviors, which almost totally mediate the relationship between their sense of social responsibility and waste separation behaviors. In addition, it was shown that the cost of waste separation can weaken the effect of waste separation intention on behavior, while waste separation facilities, social norms, and the publicity for China’s 14th National Games have the opposite effect. Finally, policy suggestions are proposed to encourage urban residents to adopt waste separation behaviors, contributing to transforming Shaanxi into a zero-waste province.

Investigating the intention to receive the COVID-19 vaccination in Macao: implications for vaccination strategies

BackgroundUnderstanding the intention of receiving COVID-19 vaccines is important to inform effective vaccination strategies. This study aimed to investigate such intention, identify the key influencing factors, and determine the most important intention predictors using a theoretically principled model.MethodsAn online, cross-sectional survey method was implemented in Macao in May 2021. People aged 18 years or above and residing in Macao for 12 months prior to the study were recruited through social media. Intention to receive COVID-19 vaccines and the main constructs of the protection motivation theory and the health belief model were the main measures encompassing threat appraisal, intrapersonal characteristics, cues to action, coping appraisal, past experiences and information seeking behavior. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis.ResultsA total of 552 valid responses were received. Among the respondents, 79.5% aged between 25 and 54 years old, 59.4% were female, and 88% had a bachelor degree or above; 62.3% of the respondents indicated their intention to receive COVID-19 vaccination while 19.2% were hesitant and 18.5% did not have any intention. While 67.0% believed COVID-19 infection was life-threatening, only 19.0% thought they were at risk of getting infected. Control variables such as age, gender, education level, and having travel plans were significantly correlated with intention. Significant associations between intention with perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, maladaptive response reward, self-efficacy, response-efficacy, response cost, social attitude, social norm, past experience and information seeking behavior were identified (P < 0.05). The most important positive predictors of intention were “being able to make arrangement to receive the vaccine” (β = 0.333, P < 0.001), “a sense of social responsibility” (β = 0.326, P < 0.001), and “time off from work after vaccination” (β = 0.169, P < 0.001), whereas “concerns over vaccine safety” (β = − 0.124, P < 0.001) and “relying on online resources for vaccine information” (β = − 0.065, P < 0.05) were negative predictors. Perceived severity in terms of COVID-19 being a life threatening illness was not a predictor of intention.ConclusionThis study reaffirmed that intention to receive COVID-19 vaccination is an ongoing concern in the combat of the pandemic. Multi-component strategies to enhance health literacy that supports well-informed decision-making, increase vaccination convenience, promote social responsibility, and provide time-off incentives are among the key considerations in designing and improve vaccination campaigns in Macao.

Study on the effect of income perception on cleaner-production fraud.

We investigated a single-cycle product supply chain in a game model, where a supplier is the leader. By innovatively introducing cleaner production fraudulent income perception factor into a game model, we studied the mechanism of the effect of enterprise social responsibility and environmental awareness on cleaner production fraud. The results showed that the income of retailers and suppliers changes under different perceptions of fraudulent income. That is, the value of cleaner production fraudulent income perception factor will affect the enterprise's choice of differentiation strategy. When the enterprise's sense of social responsibility is weak, it is more likely to choose cleaner production fraud. Conversely, under the constraints of high social responsibility, it more likely avoids production fraud. Regarding government supervision, the income of suppliers and retailers changes under different government penalties. Furthermore, a reasonable punishment for cleaner production fraud can reduce such violations. However, after the punishment reaches a level, the efficiency of supervision begins to decline. In views of that, improving enterprise social responsibility through institutional reform is a more effective way to reduce cleaner production fraud. To contribute to a healthy competitive market environment, government supervision should establish a feedback mechanism, and make timely adjustments.

Standardization of Environmental Responsibility Behavior of Production and Manufacturing Enterprises in the Context of Green Economy

The motivation and decision-making of an enterprise are significantly affected by the green economy and the environmental and economic policies (EEPs). It is practical to deeply analyze the standardization mechanism and actual effect of environmental responsibility behavior (ERB) in enterprises. This study explores the ERB standardization in the context of green economy. First, a conceptual model was established for the action mechanism of the factors driving ERB standardization in enterprises, and an empirical model was developed around the concept of policy-behavior-performance, before investigating the influence of the ERB of production and manufacturing enterprises (PMEs) over their production benefit (PB). From the angle of motivation-supervision theory, the authors examined how the supervision and motivation of EEPs affect the large panel PMEs' sense of social responsibility (SSR) and ERB. Finally, the variables like marketization index (MI) and return on assets (ROA) were regressed, and the ERB standard level of PMEs in different industries was analyzed statistically. The results demonstrate the robustness of our empirical model. Finally, opinions and suggestions were provided to guide or constrain environmental and economic policies.
