A Non-Parametric Analysis of The Relationship Between Business Experience and Entrepreneurial Intention of Final-Semester MBA Students in Nepal
type: item
description: This study examines the relationship between prior business experience and entrepreneurial intention among final-semester MBA students in Nepal. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 257 final-semester MBA students across five major Nepalese universities. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring business experience and entrepreneurial intention. Non-parametric statistical methods including Pearson's chi-square test, Cramér's V, and Goodman-Kruskal's lambda were employed for analysis. The results reveal a statistically significant association between business experience and entrepreneurial intention (χ² = 18.42, p < 0.01, Cramér's V = 0.189). Students with business experience demonstrated higher entrepreneurial intention, with 68.4% expressing intent to start a business within three years compared to 52.1% of those without experience. Family business exposure showed the strongest predictive relationship (λ = 0.312). The convenience sampling approach and cross-sectional design limit generalizability. Future research should employ longitudinal designs and probability sampling methods. MBA programs in Nepal should integrate practical business experiences, internships, and family business case studies to enhance entrepreneurial intention among students. This is the first comprehensive study examining business experience-entrepreneurial intention relationships in the Nepalese MBA student context, contributing to entrepreneurship education literature in developing countries.

Evaluating the Impact of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) on Leadership Competencies of School Heads
type: item
description: This study examines the role of leadership competencies in supporting school change management (SCM) within elementary education institutions and explores whether CPD moderates these relationships. Data were gathered from 190 elementary principals using a structured questionnaire. The analysis involved descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression (MLR) using IBM SPSS 26. Pearson correlation showed significant positive links between SCM and all independent variables: IPS (r = .537, p < .01), SeM (r = .408, p < .01), SuC (r = .392, p < .01), and CPD (r = .214, p = .003). MLR identified IPS as the strongest predictor (β = .521, p = .027), followed by SeM (β = .068, p = .019), SuC (β = .068, p = .038), and CPD (β = .166, p = .001). The model was statistically significant (F = 34.287, p < .001), accounting for 53.8% of the variance in SCM (R² = .538). Furthermore, CPD significantly moderated the connection between leadership skills and SCM, highlighting its role as a catalyst for effective leadership. It is recommended that educational leaders incorporate CPD into their leadership strategies to boost IPS, SeM, and SuC, as these significantly predict effective SCM.

The Impact of AI-Driven Supply Chain Integration on Environmental Sustainability in the RMG Sector: Exploring the Mediating Roles of Technological Readiness and Supply Chain Agility
type: item
description: The study aims to explore the complex relationship between AI-SCI and ES in the RMG sector of Bangladesh. The study uses a quantitative research method and a cross-sectional survey. The sample size was sufficiently large, drawing upon the data of 389 managerial professionals employed in the RMG sector in Bangladesh. The study used PLS-SEM for complex model testing in management studies to ascertain the complex interrelationships among AI-SCI, TR, SCA, and ES. The findings demonstrate that there is a positive statistical association between AI-SCI and ES (β = 0.229, p < 0.000), indicating the role AI technologies could play in promoting sustainable operations. The results show that technological readiness (β = 0.793, p < 0.000) and supply chain agility (β = 0.813, p < 0.000) are crucial mediators that significantly strengthen the effect of AI-SCI on sustainability performance. These results show that the effect of AI-SCI on promoting environmental sustainability is not much direct but mainly the intermediate role of superior technological capabilities and enhanced agility of supply chain integration. The study provides helpful implications for RMG companies and policy makers. This study adds to the literature by filling a knowledge gap on how AI implementation may galvanize sustainable RMG practices especially in emerging countries

Evaluation of High-Quality Development in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Region from the Perspective of Common Prosperity
type: item
description: Given the driving and radiating effect of urban high-quality development on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region, this paper aims to promote the realization of the goal of common prosperity in the region and provide more comprehensive references for the strategic planning and implementation paths of high-quality regional development. From the perspective of common prosperity, this study constructs an evaluation index system for high-quality development and employs the entropy weight method to measure the high-quality development levels of nine prefecture-level cities in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region from 2018 to 2022. It further uses a coupling coordination model to assess the level of coordinated development in the region. The results show that the overall level of high-quality development in the region is steadily improving, with all cities showing positive development trends. Xi'an, Lanzhou, and Yinchuan are at the forefront. Although the region as a whole is in a stage of low coordination, its coordination level is gradually improving, with Xi'an, Lanzhou, and Yinchuan leading in coordination as well. It is recommended that the government continue to enhance coordination among cities to promote integrated regional development.

The Future of Smart Tax Systems: Integrating Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Autonomous Compliance Technologies for Transparent and Efficient Tax Administration
type: item
description: The research looks at how AI, Blockchain and Autonomous Compliance Technologies can be added to tax administrations to help increase transparency, efficiency and compliance in managing public finances. This research uses Rogers’ theory about innovation diffusion, it examines how various technologies are gaining acceptance and use in institutions. To analyze five progressive countries in the digital world, I used a qualitative multiple-case study design such as Estonia, Armenia, Singapore, South Korea and the United States, since they all differ in their digital and government technology levels. The study included 15 informants who were chosen because they were actively engaged in digital transformation activities for their tax agencies. Semi-structured interviews and an in-depth review of documents like national policies, technical reports and evaluation reports from the World Wide Web Foundation, the findings were reached. Codes were made in NVivo 12 and each code related to concepts present in the study’s theory. It has been found that AI improves the handling of risks, AI is effective in identifying fraud, blockchain ensures that transactions are unchangeable and visible to auditors and AI-powered compliance keeps reports accurate and regularly updated.It is clear from the findings that clearly written regulations, strong safety rules, improved institutions and engaging many stakeholders help implement the guidelines better. Additionally, it is advised to organize coordination across nations, test the relevant technologies and continuously observe their process to responsibly scale them up.

The Rise of the Global South in English Literature: Decolonizing the Curriculum through Fiction
type: item
description: This paper explores including Global South fiction in English literature classes and its part in promoting higher education decolonization. To investigate these matters, the study conducted curriculum analysis, interviewed both teachers and students and observed classes at three universities (one in the North and two in the South). It has been shown that while some institutions in the Global South, including India and South Africa, are writing new curricula, those in the Global North usually keep teaching the same Eurocentric books, not allowing room for diverse or non-Western authors. The research recognized four trends, among others: (1) little inclusion of Global South literature on most core programs, (2) many postcolonial texts exploring the themes of resistance, hybridity and identity, (3) a noticeable improvement in student engagement and thoughtful responses in decolonial classrooms and (4) significant adverse effects at the institution because many teachers are not trained, bureaucracy is slow and there are few resources. The study outlines a useful way to decolonize literature, supported by improvements in teaching materials, teaching styles and new school policies. It adds knowledge to discussions surrounding epistemic justice, including literature and equal opportunities in education. The new trend points out that fiction from the Global South can influence an audience by questioning mainstream stories and educating everyone to be more aware of culture. By focusing on the works of writers from non-mainstream regions, the field recommends a change in how literature is taught, respected and organized in international universities.

Literature in the Age of AI: How Artificial Intelligence is Reshaping Literary Creation and Criticism
type: item
description: AI is increasingly present in creative areas, and its effect on literature can be seen as it influences the way people write and analyze literature. This research explores the effects of AI on literature by studying readers’ and experts’ opinions using a survey method, and analyzing the results with statistics and graphs. Although the writing is seen as stylish and thematically linked, the missing element is the strong emotions and cultural background you find in works written by people. In general, people were positive about AI assisting with literature but had ethical issues with different authorship, uncertain copyright support, and possible bias built into the training process. AI tools are mostly trusted for theme discovery and emotional analysis, but people still doubt their ability to make literary judgments. The findings are placed in the context of larger discussions, pointing out that we must address ethics, discuss various areas and methods, and create ways for human creativity and machine efficiency to blend together. The objective now is not to avoid automation, but to integrate AI positively into literature, supporting rather than disrupting the unique aspects of storytelling.

Pakistan’s Economic Relations with the European Union (2013-2023): Challenges, Opportunities and Policy Lessons
type: item
description: The EU and Pakistan relations are shaped by interrelated political, economic and strategic factors. Currently, Pakistan’s economic relations with the EU are shaped by its GSP+ status. In 2014, the EU included Pakistan in GSP+ status when it ratified all international conventions required for admission in the scheme. The primary aim of GSP+ scheme is to assist developing nations in alleviating poverty, establishing good governance, and promoting sustainable development. The scheme offers opportunities for these states to engage in trade with the EU with low or no tariffs to generate additional revenues. While Pakistan is currently the largest beneficiary of GSP+ scheme, several challenges, mainly related to the exports’ diversification and competitiveness, reduce the scope of its economic ties with the EU. However, the country is potentially capable of addressing these challenges and upgrading economic relations with the EU. Drawn on David Ricardo’s theory of comparative advantage and using qualitative research approach, this study analyses Pakistan’s trade relations with the EU with an aim to underline challenges and opportunities in this regard, and then offer policy lessons for Pakistan regarding the upgradation of economic relations with the EU.

Fluctuations in electricity prices and the identification of bubbles in Italy during COVID-19
type: item
description: The main objective of this study is to identify whether there exists explosive behavior in Italian electricity prices or not by considering the data from January 2020 to December 2021. To achieve this, three econometric methods have been utilized which are developed to detect bubbles. These methods are: right tail Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test, Sequential Augmented Dickey Fuller (SADF) test and generalized sup Augmented Dickey Fuller (GSADF) test. ADF test detected no explosive behavior in Italian electricity prices while both SADF and GSADF tests have revealed presence of explosive behavior in electricity prices. Further, SADF and GSADF tests identify specific periods of explosive behavior characterized by significant price fluctuations. Several policy recommendations for solving this problem arise: introduce stabilizing price mechanisms; therefore, consumers may face stabilized unaffordable high rises and prices; on the other hand, one more method proposed is energy resource diversification, specifically on promotion renewable energy so people avoid usage of sources heavily volatile prices of fossils. In addition to these changes, the enhanced monitoring and regulatory capabilities in the market may help in providing fair competitiveness, transparent price, and avoidance of any kind of manipulation in the market. Additionally, demand supply management programs during peak periods of price volatility and long-term contracts would provide considerable stability and predictability, thereby creating favorable conditions both for producers and consumers.

Impact of Population Growth on CO₂ Emissions in Export-Driven Global Transport: A 30-Country Analysis (2011-2020)
type: item
description: The study explores the complex relationship between population growth and CO2 emissions in an export-driven activity that is focusing on the global transportation sector. It addresses a gap in existing literature by that how demographic trends may influence an environmental impact of an international trade. By using robust dataset of 30 countries from 2011-2020. It uses advanced models to check the relation between trade activities, population growth and CO2 emissions. Results show that an export activity can highly influence in rising CO2 emissions due to an increased energy consumption which is associated with the production and transportation of goods. Further, population growth has strengthened by increasing the demand for transportation services that leads to a higher emission of CO2. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of including demographic factors in formulating or devising sustainable transportation policies. Policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders can develop more effective strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation and promote environmental sustainability by understanding the moderating roe of population growth. Finally, it provides valuable insights into the complex connection between trade, population growth, and environmental impact that contribute to the broader discussion on sustainable development and climate change mitigation.

Communication Strategies as a Catalyst for Trust Building During Banking Mergers: Lessons from Nepalese Bank
type: item
description: This study investigates the key determinants of customer satisfaction in the post-merger context of NIC Asia Bank and Kumari Bank, with a focus on technological innovation, employee competence, and communication strategies. Drawing on theoretical frameworks such as Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory and Post-Merger Integration Theory, the study integrates cultural integration as a moderating variable. Using a stratified random sampling method, data were collected from 500 respondents representing diverse customer segments. Quantitative analyses, including descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression models, reveal that employee competence (β = 0.50) is the most significant driver of satisfaction, followed by communication strategies (β = 0.40) and technological innovation (β = 0.35). Cultural integration (β = 0.20) amplifies these relationships, enhancing the customer experience during organizational transitions. Findings highlight significant urban-rural disparities, with urban customers favoring digital banking and rural customers relying on traditional services.

The Development and Validation of Media Exposure to Terrorism Scale: A Mixed-Method Approach
type: item
description: The purpose of the study is to develop an original, valid, and reliable measure of Media exposure to terrorism (METT) that could adequately measure the effects of METT on adolescents’ mental health who have been exposed to the Army public School Peshawar (APSP) terrorist attack through media. Previously available measures on METT have some limitations. The scale was developed through a systematic process where in Phase I qualitative data acquired from Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) conducted with adolescents ( N = 45) -who came to know about the event through media- were subjected to content analysis for item generation. Phase II was the tryout and validation of the developed scale. The developed scale was validated through exploratory factor analysis (N = 380), confirmatory factor analysis (N = 332), convergent validity, contrasted groups, calculating Cronbach’s alpha reliability estimates and item-total correlation coefficient (N=716). Sample of the study was based on student population (12-17 years) selected from 7 different cities of Pakistan. The results revealed that developed measure is valid, parsimonious, and reliable enough to be used in quantitative study to reveal the effect of METT on adolescents’ mental health.

Research on the Impact of Environmental Regulation on the Environmental Responsibility Behavior of Residents in Grassland Tourist Areas: A Case Study of Inner Mongolia
type: item
description: With the intensifying global environmental issues, environmental regulation has become a critical means for governments to promote sustainable development. This paper focuses on the grassland pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia to explore the impact of environmental regulation on the environmental responsibility behavior of local residents in tourist areas. The study background indicates that Inner Mongolia boasts abundant grassland resources and unique ethnic culture, forming the basis for rapid tourism development. However, the growth of tourism has also imposed significant environmental pressures. Thus, examining how environmental regulation can enhance residents' environmental responsibility behavior holds both theoretical and practical significance. This paper first systematically reviews theories and research progress related to environmental regulation and environmental responsibility behavior, laying a theoretical foundation for the study. Based on this, through literature review and field research, it deeply analyzes the current status and challenges of environmental regulation in Inner Mongolia’s grassland pastoral tourist areas. The study finds that government regulatory measures and residents' engagement in pastoral areas directly influence residents' environmental responsibility behavior. The empirical analysis details how environmental regulation affects residents' environmental awareness and practical behaviors. Field research in Inner Mongolia’s grassland areas reveals that environmental education and legal regulation effectively enhance residents’ environmental responsibility awareness, while participatory management and community development play vital roles in fostering responsible environmental behavior among residents. The article concludes with a discussion of the findings and provides policy recommendations to assist the government in formulating more effective environmental regulatory policies.

Research on the Mechanism of Agricultural Socialized Services in China under the Leadership of the Communist Party—A Case Study of Shanxi
type: item
description: From the perspective of agricultural socialized services under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), this paper focuses on analyzing the mechanism by which the scale of socialized agricultural services impacts agricultural production efficiency. The research found that CPC leadership effectively promotes the consolidation of farmland, enabling the scaling and mechanization of agricultural socialized services, which increases production and income. The expansion of service scale and the increased participation of farmers in socialized agricultural service links contribute to improving agricultural production efficiency. Agricultural socialized service work should fully leverage the leadership role of the CPC. Party committees at all levels should establish a coordinated linkage mechanism for management services, guiding grassroots Party organizations to actively promote the deepening development of agricultural socialized services.

The Worldwide Financial Crisis: An Analysis of Financial Performance from the Banking Sector of Pakistan
type: item
description: The global financial crisis (GFC) of 2007-2008, which started in the USA and quickly spread worldwide, caused major disruptions in many countries' economies. This study focuses on evaluating the financial performance of Pakistan's banking sector before and after the crisis, spanning from 2004 to 2013. Both Islamic banks (IBs) and conventional banks (CBs) were analyzed, looking at variables like return on assets, investments, solvency, liquidity, deposits, asset quality, advances, and total asset size. A stepwise panel regression model was used for the analysis. The results show that asset quality and advances had a positive effect on return on assets, while solvency, liquidity, investments, deposits, and total asset size had a negative impact. Comparisons between the pre-crisis (2004-2008) and post-crisis (2009-2013) periods suggest that the global financial crisis had an insignificant effect on the financial operations of Pakistan's banking sector.

Climate risk and global economic policy uncertainty asymmetric spillover on global energy mix
type: item
description: Owing to the increasing debt-to-GDP ratio and the attendant high multidimensional poverty in Nigeria, this study set out to examine the role of external debt on poverty alleviation in Nigeria. The model constructed for the study proxies final consumption expenditure as the endogenous variable measuring poverty rate as a function of external debt and external debt service. Annual time series data was gathered from the World Bank’s World Development Indicator (WDI) from 1981 to 2021. The econometric techniques of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, Augmented Dickey-Fuller(ADF) Unit Root test, Bound Co-integration test, and Error Correction Model (ECM) were engaged in the empirical analysis. The co-integration test shows that a long-run equilibrium relationship exists among the variables. The findings from the long-run result show that external debt has a significant positive impact on the poverty rate in Nigeria. The study gives some policy recommendations based on the findings.

Regenerating Sustainable energy and environmental solutions: Challenges and Opportunity in Belt and Road Initiative Countries
type: item
description: This study examines financial development, economic growth, energy consumption, trade openness, urbanization, and environmental degradation in 47 Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries from 1980 to 2022. Panel unit root tests (IPS, LLC, PP, and ADF) ensured data correctness and stationarity. Three co-integration tests examined the variables' connections. Difference of means (DOLS) and functional moment (FMOLS) tests examined BRI economies' co-integration. A paired Granger causality test found bidirectional correlations between CO2 emissions, urbanization, financial development, economic growth, and the creation of gross fixed capital. Trade openness only correlated with ecological well-being. International study suggests regional, state, and federal policy implications. The empirical investigation used a panel causal heterogeneous test, dynamic ordinary least squares(DOLS), and fully modified ordinary least squares (MOLS) with fixed and random effects. Trade openness negatively affected CO2 emissions, but all other regressors positively affected environmental quality. Good governance and country-specific policies are needed to maximize BRI advantages. Despite conflicting energy statistics, the study found that economic development hurt the environment in all 47 countries. Industrialized nations generally use renewable energy, which minimizes ecological issues, hence their omission from the BRI full panel may explain the negative coefficient. Since most BRI economies are in emergent and growing countries, environmental preservation and renewable energy technologies need more time and money. Instead of coal, the Chinese government and other BRI nations are urged to invest in wind, hydro, solar, and biomass. Sharing green energy technology might help BRI economies. Cross-national urbanization strategy should incorporate eco-friendly solutions. The panel and governments may utilize the paper's substantial policy recommendations.

Technological Modernization and its Challenges in Coir Industry in Alappuzha
type: item
description: India is the largest producer and exporter of coir and coir-related products on the international market, with Kerala accounting for a significant portion of the nation’s production and exports. Despite its potential and high ambitions, the coir industry in Kerala has not progressed as rapidly as other industries. A primary reason for this lag is the industry’s reluctance to adopt automation in a timely manner. Toward the end of the 20th century, Kerala’s coir sector began to modernize with the introduction of innovative technologies. However, several factors continue to impede the full completion of this modernization process. The implementation of technological advancements has implications for the industry’s disempowered workforce, and the success or failure of these innovations plays a critical role in the sector’s growth and economic impact. This study examines various plans and strategies for the development of coir, evaluating the overall state of technological modernization in the industry. It also addresses the challenges related to automation in modern coir units. Moreover, while both federal and state governments offer a variety of programs to support the coir industry, many manufacturers remain unaware of these initiatives. This report explores the opportunities and challenges facing Kerala’s coir industry.
