“…Society is slowly moving toward more sustainable production methods, minimizing waste, reducing vehicle air pollution, distributed energy generation, protecting native forests and green spaces, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions [27]. Moreover, the growing prices of carbon dioxide emission allowances and the falling costs of renewable energy sources (RES) installations mean that green energy is becoming a serious alternative to the traditional one of using fossil fuels.…”

Investments in renewable energy sources are an important direction in the development of modern economies. Motivating organizations to include appropriate investments in their development strategies becomes an essential issue. It seems clear that organizations need to see the long-term benefits of such investments in order to follow this trend. This article presents a thesis that assumes that from the microeconomic perspective, such investments are conducive to the implementation of various goals of the organization, causing the phenomenon of resonance in spheres such as the implementation of the sustainable development strategy, the level of innovation in the organization, brand image, and brand equity. The survey method was carried out on a sample of 143 industrial companies in the food industry in order to verify the hypotheses based on previous examples. Among the most important findings, it should be noted that investments in renewable energy sources make a significant contribution to building the market position of enterprises, in particular, to the level of innovation, creating value in a sustainable enterprise, and achieving goals in the area of creating a positive brand image and brand equity. The findings show that investing in renewable energy is compatible with the organization’s different goals.

“…These pollutants promote an imbalance in the environment, and have reduced drastically the quality of available drinking water (Kishor et al, 2021;Munagapati et al, 2021;Hynes et al, 2020;Berradi et al, 2019;Sarkar et al, 2017;Ignachewski et al, 2010). Within the industrial sector, textiles are responsible for a large part of the economy of developed and some emerging countries (Haseeb et al, 2020). However, it is estimated that for the processing of about 12-20 tons of raw material are discarded daily between 1000 and 3000 m 3 of wastewater, thus promoting significant impacts on the environment (Ghaly, 2014).…”

Environmental pollution has been a point of discussion in the international community and an object of investigation by research groups, which focus on the development of remediation methods. In the current study, the bunch of açaí (Euterpe oleracea) was used as a precursor for the preparation of low-cost activated carbon in order to remove the dye 17 AY 17 from the aqueous solution. The synthesis was carried out at temperatures of 500, 600 and 700 °C, for 2.0 h in a muffle furnace. The kinetic and thermodynamic mechanism of the adsorption process of the acid yellow dye 17, and the effects of pH, contact time and initial concentration were investigated. Activated carbon carbonized at 700 °C had the highest adsorption capacity, about of 99.9% of removal of the AY. The adsorption capacity of AY 17 was slightly pH dependent with a maximum value at pH 2.0. The kinetic data show that the equilibrium time was 200 min, and the adsorption capacity of activated carbon was 99.9% at 50 mg L‒1 and 67.0% at 150 mg L‒1 of adsorbate, suggesting high adsorption capacity of the material, even in the presence of high dye concentration. The adsorption process of AY 17 is described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model, and the experimental adsorption isotherms are adjusted to the Freundlich model, indicating that the adsorption of AY 17 on activated carbon occurs with the formation of multilayers. The present study shows that this low-cost material has great potential for remediation of textile effluents.

“…The descriptive statistics results discussed above motivate us to apply the QQ and nonparametric approaches. The lack of evidence of normal distribution for both variables exacerbates the need to use more suitable and safe methodologies in addressing the linkages of the series (Arain et al ., 2019; Haseeb et al ., 2020; Hussain et al ., 2020; Mishra et al ., 2019; Sharif et al ., 2020).…”

PurposeSince financial sector plays a critical economic role in Hong Kong, the current research aims to comprehensively analyze the association between financial development and economic growth in the country to draw correct conclusions about the impact that financial sector's development has on the growth of the economy. This requires both using of more comprehensive data that includes all or nearly all elements of the country's financial sector and utilizing advanced econometrics techniques to provide more reliable evidence based on the findings. In the study, both issues have been addressed more academically to aid the relevant authorities better.Design/methodology/approachThis study empirically examines the financial development-economic growth nexus in Hong Kong employing data covering 1980–2019. The quantile-on-quantile (QQ) approach of Sim and Zhou (2015) is utilized to investigate certain subtle aspects of the association linking financial development and economic growth. In addition, the authors benefit from applying the nonlinear Granger causality test of Diks and Panchenko (2006) to assess the variables' nexus in a nonlinear manner.FindingsIn contrast to the evidence of a unidirectional linkage documented in many related studies, the empirical findings suggest that a bi-directional relationship exists between financial development and economic growth for Hong Kong. This is a helpful input for the relevant policymakers and implies that they can set appropriate policies and regulations to balance financial development and economic growth in this country.Originality/valueThe originality of this study can be divided into two parts. Methodologically, unlike past studies that utilized mostly linear and parametric methods, the paper contributes to the literature by applying the more robust nonparametric and nonlinear methodologies. Theoretically, most researchers have used various financial development indicators, which led to very different conclusions. Therefore, this study attempts to resolve this deficiency in the literature by using a more comprehensive index for financial development.
