Abstract

Global trade and agricultural economics play a pivotal role in shaping food security worldwide. Price policies and international trade agreements significantly impact food availability, affordability, and access. This research examines how trade liberalization and protectionist policies affect food security outcomes in various countries, with a focus on the interplay between agricultural price policies and trade agreements. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of liberalized trade policies and price controls on food security across different regions. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data analysis from global economic databases and qualitative insights from expert interviews. The results indicate that countries with liberalized trade policies and positive trade balances experienced reductions in food insecurity, while protectionist policies did not significantly improve food security, despite price control measures. The study highlights that trade liberalization, when paired with effective price stabilization, leads to improved food security. Conversely, protectionism tends to exacerbate food insecurity by limiting access to affordable food and increasing market volatility. This research emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to trade and price policies in fostering global food security.

Abstract

Background. Climate change mitigation remains a pressing global challenge, with renewable energy adoption emerging as a critical strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the intermittent nature of renewable sources such as solar and wind limits their effectiveness and reliability in energy supply. Energy storage systems have the potential to address these challenges by stabilizing power output, enhancing grid resilience, and enabling more extensive integration of renewable resources. Purpose. This study aims to investigate the role of engineering solutions in energy storage for supporting renewable energy integration and advancing climate change mitigation goals. Method. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining literature review, technical performance analysis, and comparative case studies of energy storage technologies including batteries, pumped hydro, and thermal storage systems. Data were collected on system efficiency, storage capacity, scalability, and deployment outcomes in diverse energy networks. Results. Results indicate that energy storage significantly improves renewable energy utilization, reduces curtailment, and contributes to grid stability. Advanced battery technologies and hybrid storage systems demonstrated the highest potential for large-scale integration, while engineering optimization enhanced system efficiency and reliability. Conclusion. The study concludes that integrating energy storage solutions is essential for effective climate change mitigation, providing both technical and strategic pathways to accelerate renewable energy adoption and enhance sustainable energy infrastructure.

Abstract

The increasing popularity of digital Qur'an applications highlights the need for improved human-computer interaction (HCI) design to enhance user experience, particularly for recitation and study. While these applications provide valuable tools for accessing and learning the Qur'an, users often encounter challenges related to usability, navigation, and engagement. Effective HCI design is crucial to ensure that digital platforms are intuitive, user-friendly, and promote an enriching experience for Qur'an recitation and study. This research aims to explore HCI design principles tailored to digital Qur'an applications, with a focus on enhancing accessibility, usability, and user engagement. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, including user surveys, expert interviews, and usability testing, to identify key issues in existing applications and propose design improvements. The findings reveal that users value features such as audio controls for recitation, easy navigation, and integration with tafsir (interpretation). Additionally, personalized study modes and accessibility features significantly enhance user engagement. The study concludes that applying HCI design principles to digital Qur'an applications can improve user experience by making recitation and study more accessible, efficient, and engaging. The research offers actionable insights for developers aiming to create more user-centric Qur'an applications.
