Abstract

Aim: This research aimed to examine how effectively the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) implemented an Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA).Method: The study used a qualitative document review approach to learn more about EIA’s function and settlement occupant’s reactions to its enforcement in GKMA. Actor-Network Theory was employed to investigate the interplay of the factors.Findings: The results reveal that NEMA took on characteristics of a centralized and decentralized institution during different phases of EIA implementation and enforcement. Internal weaknesses such as a lack of skilled personnel, corruption, and poor implementation tactics were major reasons why the centralized approach to NEMA was less effective than the decentralized approach.Implications/Novel Contribution: Recent research provides an overview of NEMA’s regulatory structure. The study also covered the application of Actor-Network Theory to EIA in entrepreneurship setups.

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to ascertain the potential risks associated with a given landscape within the context of the influence of a given climate. Information about the local climate and how the land has been used throughout history is emphasized. In the last few decades, extremely hot weather has become a significant factor in Eurasian society, life, and business. In 2010, an abnormally hot summer in the center of European Russia led to a fire in peat areas and a poor harvest of potatoes and cereals. On July 29th, 2010, a record-breaking heat wave (38.2 degrees Celsius) and massive forest fires ravaged millions of acres in European Russia.Method: A qualitative method was employed to accomplish the goal. Secondary resources were used to compile the data.Findings: The findings demonstrate that current academics expect civilization to usher in two concrete responses to global warming. The two-way street is contemporary culture. There is widespread agreement among agricultural experts that a shift in the seed-planting window or the selection of alternative crops will be necessary if the planet’s average temperature rises. The use of new crop rotation methods could be beneficial.Implications/Novel Contribution: Since it depends on social and cultural conditions, the local ecosystem, and environmental changes, writing a history of human landscape change is challenging. Businesses operating in rural areas usually respond appropriately to all these factors. There has been a lot of focus on this.

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this article is to discuss the tension that can arise when trying to ensure food safety, which is governed by ever-stricter regulations, and food security, which is a top priority objective of global security and the security of each state. These legal food safety regulations, which can be exaggerated in some cases, are contributing to the already severe famine of food waste to the detriment of the starving population on Earth. The study aims to shed light on how the stricter regulations for food safety and food security have impacted the situation.Method: Specific characteristics of the European Union were presented in the current research using a case study approach, although they are applicable globally. The selection of the study unit, or Romania as a member of the European Union, and its delimitation are emphasised at the expense of factors relevant to the research methodology.Findings: According to the results, the term "food waste" does not include scraps left over after consumers have finished eating or debris from improperly storing perishables. Paradoxically, this waste has manifested itself in a heightened focus on their own safety, as evidenced by stricter regulations surrounding food handling. Maximum allowable concentrations for various contaminants are constantly in flux, with some shifts being nothing more than the selfish expression of extreme care and concern by people in developed nations.Implications/Novel Contribution: As if the moral and financial costs of food waste weren’t enough, doing so also has a detrimental effect on the planet’s finite resources. According to the study’s results, everyone involved in food production, distribution, and consumption should do their part to minimize food loss and waste. Farmers, food manufacturers, and processors can all learn from the study’s results, as can those in the hospitality industry, grocery stores, other retailers, and consumers.

Abstract

Aim: This research mainly aims to determine if and how much adolescent’s problem behaviors are influenced by their social circles. Researchers hypothesized that adolescent’s moral disengagement, or tolerance of deviant behavior, mediated the effect of their peers on their problem behavior.Method: The methodology used here is a correlational one. The information was gathered through the use of self-reported questionnaires. Around 150 young people (aged 14-18) participated in the study. Sixty youths with legal issues comprise the first group, while ninety youths without such problems comprise the second.Findings: According to the research results, adolescent’s problem behavior is best predicted by the problem behavior models they see in their peer groups. According to both correlational and regression analyses, adolescent problem behavior is negatively correlated with peer regulation of that behavior. A statistically significant mediator variable between peer control and delinquent behavior was moral disengagement. Increasing adolescent’s tolerance for deviant behavior weakens the correlation between peer pressure and negative behavior. Conclusions from this study support the use of a multi-system approach to preventing problem behavior in adolescents. When it comes to preventing deviant behavior in adolescents, the multi-system approach takes into account the adolescent’s traits and the impact of social factors like their peers and family.Implications/Novel Contribution: The proposed multi-factor theoretical model, which integrates the relevant individual and environmental characteristics linked to adolescent problem behavior, fully justifies the research’s theoretical value and novelty.

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this research is to delve into the business practices of Valero Energy Corporation. The Valero Energy Corporation (Valero) was founded in 1980 and has since grown to become a major petroleum refiner in the U.S. and international oil and gas industries. Valero is a Texas-based oil and ethanol company that operates 15 refineries and 14 plants.Method: The methods used by Valero Energy Corporation were dissected using a case study approach.Findings: The findings of this study show that Valero Energy Corporation is up against difficulties in the industry’s midstream and downstream, with an emphasis on external factors like weather and geopolitical influences. Valero Energy Corporation will continue to face challenges soon, even though crude oil prices appear to stabilize. This is because of the continued volatility in the market and the slowdown in international economic growth. As a long-term strategy to prepare themselves for future economic uncertainty and unsteady industry conditions, oil and gas companies will continue to enforce capital discipline. Though Valero’s strategic acquisitions and divestitures helped the company weather previous economic storms, the question remains whether or not the company’s current asset mix is optimal.Implications/Novel Contribution: Students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels of business study can benefit from the Valero Energy Corporation Case Study by applying concepts like critical thinking, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and decision-making. Valero Energy Corporation’s (Valero) efforts to remain competitive and generate above-average returns are the focus of this case study.
