Climate Change as an Existential Threat: Translating Global Goals into Action

Climate change is the greatest existential challenge for the humanity and this makes the implementation of the SDG 13 ‘Climate Action’ and Paris Agreement on Climate Change crucial for our survival. This article begins by elaborating the concept of implementation of international law, makes a comparison between the legal character of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the SDGs. It argues that the Paris Agreement creates the necessary legal framework, transparency, technology transfer, accountability, capacity building, financing and other mechanisms to implement SDG 13. However, the lack of political will and ignorance by some governments has led to a lack of progress, which may jeopardize not only Climate Action, but other SDGs too. The article ends with the argument that UN member-states should undertake urgent action to mitigate climate change, adapt to its negative consequences and co-operate towards an effective global climate governance, and for that matter it would be helpful, if climate action is formulated as a new and separate purpose in the UN Charter.

Financing sustainable development goals in Sub‐Saharan Africa: Does international capital flows matter?

AbstractThis study investigates the role of international capital flows in financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Using data from 41 SSA countries from 2000 to 2018 and employing the System Generalized Method of Moments (System GMM), the research examines the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and remittances on the SDGs across disaggregated levels (economic, social, and environmental sustainability) and the aggregated level (SDGI). The findings underscore the crucial significance of international capital flows as essential financing sources for SSA countries. FDI emerges as a contributor to economic and social sustainability at the disaggregated level, yet it exhibits negative effects on environmental sustainability. Conversely, remittances are shown to positively contribute to economic and social sustainability at the disaggregated level. However, the impact of international capital flows on the aggregate SDGI is found to be insignificantly positive. These results highlight the necessity for policymakers in SSA to devise strategies that maximize the benefits of FDI while addressing its adverse effects on environmental sustainability. Furthermore, they emphasize the importance of strengthening policies aimed at directing remittances towards sustainable investments, thereby advancing the achievement of the SDGs. Governments are urged to prioritize enhancing regulatory capacities in environmental matters through investments in modern technologies and appropriate standards, aiming to strike a balance between environmental protection and economic needs. Additionally, they should prioritize transparency, public participation, and robust enforcement mechanisms. Encouraging environmentally friendly foreign investments and promoting regional and international cooperation are also crucial steps towards effectively managing local environmental challenges.

WBUN: an interpretable convolutional neural network with wavelet basis unit embedded for fault diagnosis

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is extensively applied in mechanical system fault diagnosis. However, the absence of transparent decision mechanisms in CNNs hinders credibility. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an interpretable wavelet basis unit convolutional network (WBUN). This network incorporates meticulously designed wavelet basis unit (WBU) functions into convolutional layer, creating the interpretable wavelet basis unit convolutional (WBUConv) layer. Convolutional kernels with clear physical significance enable the WBUConv layer to extract fault-related features in both time and frequency domains, enhancing diagnostic performance, and interpreting the CNN’s attention frequency along with the convolutional kernel’s training outcomes. In this paper, three WBU functions are designed to construct the corresponding WBUNs, and their effectiveness and interpretability are verified through three sets of mechanical fault diagnosis experiments. Meanwhile, experimental results demonstrate the WBUConv layer’s remarkable advantages in noise robustness, convergence speed, and strong generalization ability.

The contribution includes the development of a new dynamic Byzantine consensus algorithm within the Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance framework, incorporating an authorization mechanism from the reputation model and a proof consensus algorithm for robust digital mutual trust. Additionally, the refinement of homomorphic cryptography using the approximate greatest common divisor technique optimizes the encryption process to support complex operations securely. The integration of a smart contract system facilitates automatic and private transaction execution across the blockchain network. Experimental evidence demonstrates the superior performance of the algorithm in handling privacy requests and transaction receipts with reduced delays and increased accuracy, marking a significant improvement over existing methods.

Fiscal Devolution and Healthcare Accessibility A Case Study of Homa Bay County

Fiscal devolution has gained prominence as a policy approach in many developing countries, aiming to enhance healthcare accessibility. This study focused on the influence of Fiscal devolution on healthcare accessibility in Homabay County. The study employed a mixed-methods approach to assess the impact of fiscal devolution on public sector efficiency, combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative observations. With an emphasis on metrics like service quality, punctuality, and accessibility, quantitative data were gathered via questionnaires and administrative records. Key stakeholders, such as representatives of the local government, prominent members of the community, and recipients of services, were interviewed in-depth and participated in focus groups to get qualitative data. The data were analyzed using appropriate SPSS version 27 statistical techniques and thematic analysis to identify patterns and relationships. Results showed that fiscal devolution had both positive as well as negative effects on healthcare accessibility in Homabay County, underlining the importance of effective local government and resource allocation processes. Preliminary data indicate that fiscal devolution in Homabay County has had a mixed effect on healthcare accessibility. On one hand, decentralization has empowered local authorities to make decisions tailored to local needs, resulting in improved service responsiveness and community engagement. On the other hand, challenges related to inadequate financial resources, capacity constraints, and intergovernmental coordination have hindered the efficient delivery of public services. Effectiveness of fiscal devolution largely depends on the presence of effective local governance structures, transparent resource allocation mechanisms, and capacity building initiatives.

Privatization and Oligopolies of the Renal Replacement Therapy Sector on Contemporary Capitalism: A Systematic Review and the Brazilian Scenario.

Worldwide the assistance on renal replacement therapy (RRT) is carried out mainly by private for-profit services and in a market with increase in mergers and acquisitions. The aim of this study was to conduct an integrative systematic review on privatization and oligopolies in the RRT sector in the context of contemporary capitalism. The inclusion criteria were scientific articles without language restrictions and that addressed the themes of oligopoly or privatization of RRT market. Studies published before 1990 were excluded. The exploratory search for publications was carried out on February 13, 2024 on the Virtual Health Library Regional Portal (VHL). Using the step-by-step of PRISMA flowchart, 34 articles were retrieved, of which 31 addressed the RRT sector in the United States and 26 compared for-profit dialysis units or those belonging to large organizations with non-profit or public ones. The main effects of privatization and oligopolies, evaluated by the studies, were: mortality, hospitalization, use of peritoneal dialysis and registration for kidney transplantation. When considering these outcomes, 19 (73%) articles showed worse results in private units or those belonging to large organizations, six (23%) studies were in favor of privatization or oligopolies and one study was neutral (4%). In summary, most of the articles included in this systematic review showed deleterious effects of oligopolization and privatization of the RRT sector on the patients served. Possible explanations for this result could be the presence of conflicts of interest in the RRT sector and the lack of incentive to implement the chronic kidney disease care line. The predominance of articles from a single nation may suggest that few countries have transparent mechanisms to monitor the quality of care and outcomes of patients on chronic dialysis.

A Study of Pakistan’s Fiscal Landscape: Examining the Influence of Institutional Quality and Tax Policy Transformation

Tax collection is the fundamental pillar of financing public services such as education, healthcare, social welfare programs, and infrastructure, and ensuring economic stability. A high share in tax to GDP shows showing greater capacity of a government to provide a high living standard. Maintaining a high tax-to-GDP ratio is important to reveal the ability of the government to generate revenue mobilization. The main drive of the paper is to scrutinize the tax reform influence on the tax-to-GDP ratio for the data period covering from 1996 to 2022 in Pakistan. The study employs the ARDL estimation method, which is suggested by the unit root test. Notably, the long-run results show that regulatory quality and government effectiveness depicted a positive influence on the tax to GDP share, suggesting that improvements in these areas can significantly increase revenue collection. Similarly, political stability and the rule of law also play a positive and significant impact on tax to GDP shares, highlighting their vital roles in increasing revenue mobilization and tax voluntary tax compliance. In contrast, inflation appears negative association with tax to GDP ratio, indicating a substantial decline in the revenue mobilization in the total revenue collection. Findings recommend that the government have to focus on enhancing controlling quality, political stability, government efficiency, and the law and order to boost voluntary tax compliance. Additionally, strengthening institutions is vitally important for enforcing tax laws, and guaranteeing a fair and transparent tax mechanism further boosts revenue collection efforts.

Silent Letters in the Balinese Script | | Adeg Adeg: A Graphetic and Graphematic Feature Analysis

The concept of “silent letters” relates to graphic symbols that are not pronounced or that do not have mapping with a specific linguistic unit. In the context of processing the mapping of sequences of linguistic units to writing, this concept often results in ambiguity. The Balinese script, which refers to a silent letter, appears in a basic shape || adeg adeg. Scholars of Balinese script define adeg adeg as a process to eliminate characters (Akshara’s), resulting in consonants without inherent vowels. This explanation is very metaphorical, ambiguous, and not based on adequate terms to describe graphetic and graphematic features that are related to mappings between graphic unit sequences and linguistic unit sequences. Balinese script || adeg adeg as primary data comes from the 16.162 lemma in the Balinese dictionary - Indonesian with Latin and Balinese script. Adeg adeg is analyzed both graphically and graphematically to identify its characteristics, with the stages of analysis adapted from the Multimodular Model of Writing System proposed by Meletis (2018). Graphetic analysis shows that the adeg adeg is identified as basic shapes || with three salient graphetic features: -recodability, -paired variants, and +additive. Graphematically, adeg-adeg is defined as a grapheme <> with the following features: +lexical distinctiveness, +linguistic value, and +minimality. The clarity of graphetic and graphematic characteristics significantly contributes to a more comprehensive and transparent cognitive-linguistic mechanism depiction, especially in deciphering writing systems based on Akshara’s highly complex characteristics.

Breaking through the glass ceiling: women on the board as a mechanism for greater environmental transparency

PurposeThis research paper aims to examine the influence of greater female participation on the board of directors on the environmental transparency of companies.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the purpose of this study, the authors analyzed the environmental transparency of 412 companies in the energy sector, headquartered in 19 countries, during a four-year period (2016 to 2019).FindingsThe data reveal that gender diversity has a positive effect on the environmental transparency of companies in developed countries and on the total model. Furthermore, after removing the US companies, the results remained the same, indicating that companies with more women on the board tend to have greater environmental transparency. Regarding corporate governance variables, the results show that companies that have a corporate social responsibility committee tend to have greater environmental transparency, both in emerging countries and in developed countries.Practical implicationsThe findings indicate that if companies aim to have greater environmental transparency, they must encourage female participation on boards, giving them equal opportunities for professional growth. Organizations must deconstruct the ideology that women are fewer valuable members of their boards, which limits their contribution to organizational success. Additionally, regulators can encourage greater female participation on boards through the implementation of quota laws.Originality/valueThe authors’ evidence indicates that the presence of women on board is an antecedent of greater quality in the dissemination of environmental information. Thus, managers of companies in the energy sector must understand that diversity on the board affects communication with its stakeholders through environmental transparency.

PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ELECTRICITY MARKET OF UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION

The article is devoted to the problems of the transition of the Ukrainian electricity market to a new market model. Such a transition is due to the intentions of further integration of the energy markets of Ukraine and the EU. The transition to a new model of the electric energy market is accompanied by the appearance of new market participants, as well as new financial and economic relations between them. The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical provisions and systematize the main prospects for the development of the electricity market of Ukraine in the context of European integration. The article analyzes the current state of the electric power industry. It was revealed that more than half of the electricity in 2019-2020 was produced at nuclear power plants. The main consumers of electricity were the residential sector and industry. Systematized main problems of the electricity sector: significant role of the state in the market, lack of transparency in setting tariffs for electricity supply services, existence of debts of market participants and electricity consumers. Attention was drawn to the problem of debts of participants in the electricity market. Prospects for the development of the electric power sector in the context of European integration are highlighted: synchronization of legislation, diversification of energy supplies, implementation of a transparent price regulation mechanism. It is also important for Ukraine to use the EU's experience in creating a stable common energy market. The integration of the energy markets of Ukraine and the EU will contribute to the diversification of Ukraine's energy supply and the introduction of new technologies. This process will take place based on the internal energy market of the EU, which will promote investments, energy security and self-regulation in the market.

Appointing Constitutional Court Justices with Statesman Qualification through Transparent Selection Mechanism

There is an unclear definition regarding the qualification of a statesman in the candidacy of Constitutional Court Justices. In addition, no assessment is used to search for those who qualify as statesmen. This study aims to determine the nature and characteristics of statesmen as an indication of the selection mechanism of Indonesian Constitutional Court Justices and evaluate whether the selection mechanism may produce justice with statesman qualification. The research method is normative and empirical legal research, which uses philosophical, historical, conceptual, and statute approaches. The result shows that the concept and nature of statesmanship as a requirement for Constitutional Court Justices is based on the Republic of Indonesia's Constitution and the Constitutional Court Law, which states that Constitutional Court Justices must meet the requirements such as integrity and impeccable personality, fair; and statesman who control the Constitution and state administration. However, the recruitment procedure is excessively more political and unstandardized. Therefore, the current mechanism for selecting Constitutional Court Justices may not generate Justices with statesman-like behavior. The research recommends that in the future, the selection mechanism of the Constitutional Court Justices needs to be reconstructed to produce Justices with statesman qualifications by having a more transparent procedure.

Political relations and trade cooperation of the Belt and Road initiative: research on trade network based on strategic emerging industries

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the impact of political relations on trade in strategic emerging industries (SEIs) in the Belt and Road initiative (BRI) associated countries. This investigation encompasses not only from the perspective of bilateral political relations but also the political intervention of third parties.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs the temporal exponential random graphmodel to analyze the dynamic structure and influencing factor of SEIs trade network among 150 BRI-associated countries from 2015 to 2020.FindingsThe results indicate that the trade of SEIs in the BRI-associated countries exhibits a pattern of concentrated exporters and decentralized importers. Amicable bilateral political relations foster trade cooperations in SEIs, while political pressure from the United States has the opposite effect. Furthermore, compared with the influence of third parties, the BRI has created a more robust trade environment characterized by political mutual trust.Practical implicationsBRI-associated countries should strengthen their political communication, and endeavor to transform political consensus and shared vision into concrete collaborative projects, while mitigating geopolitical uncertainties through a sound risk evaluation system. Moreover, they should establish a more transparent and consistent consultation mechanism and leverage the BRI trade network to foster balanced and mutually beneficial partnerships that minimize rivalry and dependence on a single market.Originality/valueThis study goes beyond observed trade cost and incorporates the political factor into the determinants of the BRI trade, thereby expanding the theoretical boundaries of existing BRI research. Also, this study employs bilateral trade data to construct SEIs trade networks (SEITNs) along the BRI route. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic determinates of the SEITNs will provide valuable practical guidance for enhancing and expanding trade and cooperation among BRI-associated countries.

Land Registration System Using Blockchain

The current land registration system relies on paper-based methods, prone to fraud, errors, and security vulnerabilities. These shortcomings contribute to prolonged registration processes and an increase in fraudulent activities. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes a blockchain-based land registration system. Blockchain technology provides an immutable and decentralized ledger, ensuring the security and reliability of land records. By eliminating intermediaries, the blockchain-based registry streamlines land ownership validation, reduces costs, and accelerates registration timelines. This paper explores the potential of blockchain in land registration, focusing on fraud prevention, secure ownership record storage, and facilitation of transfer through cryptographic algorithms and smart contracts. The paper discusses the limitations of traditional land registration systems, including security, transparency, and efficiency issues. It then outlines how blockchain technology addresses these challenges by offering a transparent and secure registration mechanism. Utilizing cryptographic algorithms and smart contracts, blockchain ensures tamper-proof record-keeping and enables swift and transparent ownership transfers.

A Block Chain-Based Access Control Framework with Privacy Protection in Cloud

Access control is a pivotal aspect of modern computing systems, ensuring that only authorized entities can interact with sensitive data and resources. Traditional access control methods, while effective, face challenges in terms of security, transparency, and scalability. Blockchain technology has emerged as a promising solution to enhance access control in cloud computing environments. Blockchain's inherent features, such as decentralization, immutability, and cryptographic security, offer a unique framework for addressing the limitations of traditional access control systems. In this paper, we explore the integration of blockchain technology with cloud computing to establish a more secure and transparent access control mechanism. By utilizing blockchain, access control policies and permissions can be stored in a tamper-proof and transparent ledger. Scalability is an issue since processing many access control transactions on the blockchain might cause network congestion and sluggish processing. Transactions take time to upload to the blockchain, which can delay real-time access choices. It takes skill to integrate and manage blockchain and cloud technologies together. Choosing the correct consensus mechanism affects system efficiency and security. Consider the costs of establishing and maintaining such a system and the difficulty of fixing faults owing to blockchain immutability. In conclusion, this paper underscores the significance of access control in cloud computing and the limitations of traditional approaches. By harnessing the power of blockchain technology, a more secure, transparent, and scalable access control framework can be established, revolutionizing the way we manage access to sensitive data and resources in complex digital ecosystems.

INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STATUS OF THE WORLD TRADE ORGANISATION IN THE CONTEXT OF ECONOMIC GLOBALISATION

The subject of the study is the conceptual, theoretical, empirical, methodological and applied foundations of the international legal status of the WTO in the context of economic globalisation. Methodology. General scientific and specific legal methods were used in the research process. With the help of the analysis the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of international trade are determined as a prerequisite for the determination of the international legal status of the WTO in the conditions of economic globalisation. The synthesis ensured the formation of characteristic features of the legal status of the WTO as an international organisation. The comparative legal method allowed to identify the common and distinctive features of international organisations in this area, as well as to clarify the defining aspects of the legal personality of the WTO in the modern international legal field. The formal-legal method created the conditions for formulating conclusions on the effectiveness of the implementation of the legal personality of the WTO in the sphere of ensuring the rules of international trade in the conditions of economic globalisation. The purpose of this article is to identify the characteristics of the international legal status of the WTO under the conditions of economic globalisation. The results of the study showed that the international legal status of the WTO in the conditions of economic globalisation is based on the basic principles of legal regulation of international trade and is mediated by the purpose of activity, legal personality, the order of formation and powers of the governing bodies, principles and procedural aspects of the functioning of this organisation. Conclusion. The international legal status of the WTO in the conditions of economic globalisation is considered from the standpoint of a dichotomous approach to this category from the standpoint of economics and law. Economic preconditions for the introduction of international trade rules in the form of GATT, 1947 and WTO research through the analysis of primarily statistical data of the periods 1947-1948 and 2017-2022, reflected in the consolidated information data of the WTO, as well as the study of individual theoretical considerations of scientists. Statistical indicators show clear signs of globalisation of the world economy, which is mediated by international trade operations, as a result of which the creation of transparent mechanisms for the circulation of goods within the framework of trade activities as a kind of existence of the world community through various static and dynamic legal constructions, among which WOT occupies almost the most significant importance along with other international organisations. The above is demonstrated by the example of the impact of COVID-2019 on international trade, the corresponding reaction to which was the revitalisation of trade processes, primarily in the field of pharmaceutical industry products. The above has covered the main principles of international legal regulation of trade relations at the formal and substantive level, which is carried out at the universal international legal, regional international legal and national levels. In connection with the differentiation of the components of the legal personality of the WTO, the definition of international legal capacity is given as the ability of a subject of international activity to acquire appropriate rights for itself by its own actions and to exercise them independently, as well as to create corresponding obligations for itself by its actions, to fulfil them independently and to bear responsibility in case of their non-fulfilment. In terms of the nature of this organisation, its place among other similar international organisations, in particular those operating within the framework of the UN, was invented by the field of activity, where attention is paid to the predominance of the latter in order to maintain international peace and security. The purpose of the activities of the WTO is to create and ensure international, multilateral, open, based on fair competition and other features inherent to trade in modern society, where the quasi-procedural moment, based on the replacement of a number of bilateral and multilateral agreements, is an external manifestation of such activity. It characterises the original and derivative legal instruments of the WTO's operation, defines the socio-economic and legal purpose of its activities, defines the structure and powers of the WTO's governing bodies, and focuses the organisation's legal personality on the procedural aspect of its activities, in particular through the implementation of relevant principles, among which the principle of maximum contribution plays a leading role.
