The research aims to explore the perspective of outstanding learners of the business administration department of a public sector university. The study delves into the factors influencing academic success, the learning methodologies employed by students in the pursuit of excellence, and the significance of grades in shaping their academic journeys. This study involved a qualitative case study approach by using in-depth interviews with six students who attained higher academic standing, providing insights into their distinct opinions and experiences. The results depict a positive influence between students' academic performance and their approach to learning. The study emphasizes the public university's proactive encouragement for students to aim for higher grades, aligning with broader trends in academic institutions. The evolving industrial landscape amplifies the demand for skilled professionals, prompting business schools to underpin the importance of academic achievement. The findings emphasize the dedication of business administration department students to maintaining high grades and actively enhancing their proficiency.

This study was conducted to find out the effect of pedagogical content knowledge training on primary school teachers’ achievement in pedagogy. Pedagogical skills involve different methods of teaching which can be used effectively according to the need of the learners. The researchers used one group pre-test post-test experimental design to conduct pedagogical content knowledge related training of 40 hours for 140 teachers, clustered into 5 groups, and measure achievement scores of the subject in the area of pedagogy before and after the training. Pedagogical training related module was developed by an independent expert of the pedagogy. The study used descriptive as well as inferential statistics to analyze the data. Findings of the study revealed significant mean difference in achievement scores on the pretest and posttests of these teachers. The study recommends to conduct pedagogy related professional development trainings for primary school teachers to enhance their capabilities and pedagogical skills.

The study empirically investigates the impact of green bonds issuance on listed firms operating in G7 (Japan, UK, USA, France, Germany, Italy, and Canada) economies. The sample consist of monthly data ranges from January 2015 to August 2022. Green bonds issuance data is collected from announcements, press releases, and semi-annual or yearly reports. Additionally, we use the official websites and credit rating agency portals of the particular country to find debt issuance. The subsequent findings imply that the issuance of green bonds cast a positive impact on shareholder wealth maximization moreover, sustainable financing practice increases firm value in a long run and thus is favored by shareholders.

The study examined the shocks in aggregate demand to monetary and fiscal policies adjustment in Nigeria using time series annual data from 1986-2022. The study used secondary data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigerian (CBN) Annual Statistical Bulletin, National Bureau of Statistics NBS), and World Bank Financial Report. The study constructs simple structural macroeconomic models made up of three blocks: consumption, investment, and export-import sector that contain 21 variables. The variables are linked to one another through 8 behavioural equations and 4 identities. The models were estimated and analyzed using Two Stage Least Square methods and a simulation experiment was also conducted on the simple structural macroeconomics models. The study finds that broad money supply, interest rate, government expenditure, taxation and public debt have significant influence on aggregated demand in Nigeria during the period under investigation. The baseline simulation demonstrates good tracking power of the actual from the baseline simulation as the nature of the oscillation suggested. The study, recommends that the government should encourage expansionary monetary and fiscal policies by lowering interest rate in order to encourage investors to borrow for investment.

This objective of this study paper is to examine the Identity Politics and Regional Dynamics of OIC and its impact on the nexus of Muslim unity and Diversity. This research is qualitative in nature. Since its inception, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has encountered substantial criticism regarding its perceived inability to effectively address the challenges facing Muslim nations and unite the Ummah under a common platform. This paper aims to analyze the OIC's past performance, emphasizing its weaknesses and shortcomings, and proposes viable measures to enhance its efficacy as a global entity The research technique employed is through Qualitative Research Approach through Interpretive Research Technique with Content Thematic Analysis covering Historical and Contextual Synthesis and Interpretation. This research can further be analyzed by applying different theories of political philosophers according to the Demands of Muslim States from OIC in geo politics. The detailed data has been analyzed.The paper is structured to comprehensively explore the subject matter. Beginning with an examination of the genesis of the OIC, it proceeds to dissect the OIC Charter before delving into the identification of future challenges confronting the organization. Through meticulous analysis, the paper elucidates major weaknesses observed over time and offers succinct recommendations aimed at addressing these issues. The recommendations put forth are intended to bolster the OIC's institutional framework and equip it to confront the evolving needs of the next half-century. By providing a strategic roadmap for reform and renewal, we believe that the OIC can emerge as a stronger, more responsive organization capable of safeguarding the interests and promoting the well-being of Muslim nations worldwide.
