This paper examines the effects of environmental innovation on CO 2 emissions as well as the moderating role of environmental governance in this relationship. Based on a sample of companies listed on the London Stock Exchange for the period from 2016 to 2020, the findings show that environmental innovation reduces CO 2 emissions including Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO 2 emissions. Likewise, our findings are associative of a moderating effect of environmental governance on the environmental innovation-CO 2 emissions nexus. We argue that environmental innovation along with better environmental governance leads to a reduction in CO 2 emissions. Our results hold for subsamples of firms with a strong/low environmental governance and ESG performance. Our findings offer important implications for companies and policymakers towards adopting more environmental technologies along with enhancing environmental governance to reduce CO 2 emissions.
Objective:To assess symptoms of anxiety and depression among women reporting to primary health care (PHC women) in Gilgit Baltistan (GB), Pakistan.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study conducted on PHC women belonging GB including other three provinces of Pakistan. PHQ-9 and GAD-7 were used to assess anxiety and depression. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were applied to analyze the collected data.Results:PHC women from GB reported higher level of depressive symptoms (t=7.58, p=0.00) and lower level of anxiety symptoms (t=8.3, p=0.00) when compared with cut-off score. Insignificant differences were found in depressive (t=1.5, p>.05) and anxiety (t=1.2, p>.05) scores between GB women and women from rest of Pakistan. However, inter-province differences in depressive (F=5.78, p= 00) and anxiety (F=4.5, p=0.00) symptoms were significant. Increasing age and lack of education were found significant risk factors for GB PHC women’s depressive and anxiety symptoms.Conclusions:PHC women from GB have higher level of depressive and lower level of anxiety symptoms like women from other provinces of Pakistan. Their demographics should be considered while addressing their emotional problems.
Energy management in home is one of the major issue now-a-days. There are different types of load like shiftable, non-shiftable, seasonal loads and auxiliary loads. In this research article, an energy management system is proposed for home which helps to schedule different loads on the basis of their types and price. It will help to minimize the cost of electricity by shifting load from peak time to off peak time. Emission will be minimized by charging penalty by adopting multi-objective optimization. Each source of energy has its own price of penalty with respect to time. Penalty is charged to minimize the use of sources like commercial supply and diesel generators which emits hazardous gases. In proposed model, user will get electricity from commercial supply, diesel generators and solar panels to provide continuous supply of electricity to fulfill the energy demand. The shiftable loads will be shifted from peak time to off peak time and higher price source to lower price source to minimize the overall price. In this research, we have proposed an EEIR (Economically Effective and Intelligently Responsive) HEMS (Home Energy Management System) by solving multi-objective optimization problem from BILP (Binary Integer Linear Programming) using branch and bound algorithm.
This research is initiated by the economic contestation in both the Islamic and Western worlds. In the context of Islamic theology, there are several views which say that success is dependent on human’s effort and God's will. The purpose of this research is to explore the concept of entrepreneurial motivation that carried out by the Qolbu Management (QM), Emotional Spiritual Quotion (ESQ) and The Pattern of Allah's Help (PAH). It’s a qualitative approach. The source of data in this research are by analyzing books, videos, audio visuals such as Youtube, then by studying literature (library research). Scientific interviews will also be conducted with several individuals (academics and practitioners) as supporters of the distinction of Islamic theology with an entrepreneurial spirit. The findings were motivated by the emergence of the concept Qolbu Management, ESQ and PAH which is one of the efforts to integrate the teachings of Theological Tauhid into the concept of Islamic entrepreneurship. The similarities between the concepts of Qolbu Management, ESQ and PPA are Theological Tauhid. While the differences are the Qolbu Management Concept is closer to Asy Ariyah theology, ESQ is closer to the Mu'azilah theology concept, while PAH is more identical to the Jabariyah concept. The point of the concept of entrepreneurship, monotheism and the concept entrepreneurial of Qalbu Management, ESQ and PAH, namely: Guiding towards the maximum monotheism and teaching humans to try with their potentials and do not forget to surrender to Allah SWT Penelitian ini diawali dengan kontestasi perekonomian baik di dunia Islam maupun Barat. Dalam konteks teologi Islam ada beberapa pandangan yang mengatakan bahwa kesuksesan adalah tergantung dari usaha manusia dan kehendak Tuhan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mendalami konsep motivasi wirausaha yang dilakukan oleh Manajemen Qalbu (MQ), Emotional Spritual Quotion (ESQ) dan Pola Pertolongan Allah (PPA). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Sumber data dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan menganalisis buku-buku, video-video, audio visual seperti Youtube, kemudian dengan studi literatur (library research). Wawancara ilmiah juga akan dilakukan dengan beberapa individu (akademisi dan praktisi) sebagai pendukung distingsi ilmu teologi Islam dengan spirit wirausaha. Hasil temuan dalam penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh munculnya konsep Manajemen Qolbu, ESQ dan PPA yang merupakan salah satu usaha untuk mengintegrasikan ajaran-ajaran Tauhid Teologis kedalam konsep wirausaha secara islami. Adapun persamaan dari konsep Manajemen Qolbu, ESQ dan PPA yaitu Tauhid Teologis. Sedangkan perbedaannya Konsep Manajemen Qolbu Lebih mendekati teologi Asy Ariyah, ESQ mendekati Konsep teologi Mu’tazilah sedangkan PPA lebih identik dengan konsep Jabariyah. Titik temu konsep kewirausahaan dan ketaudhid dan konsep wirausaha manajemen Qalbu, ESQ dan PPA yakni : Membimbing terhadap ketauhidan yang maksimal dan mengajarkan manusia untuk berusaha dengan potensi yang dimiliki dan kemudian tidak lupa akan berpasrah diri kepada Allah SWT
