The present study investigates how green human resource management practices (GHRM) affect Jordanian commercial banks' environmental performance. It also examines the moderating effect of digital HR technology. A survey questionnaire was used to gather data from 12 commercial banks and 4 Islamic banks. PLS-SEM was used to analyze the data from the sample size of 402 questionnaires that were given to HR managers and supervisors at these institutions. The results indicated that dimensions of GHRM are strongly correlated to the environmental performance. In addition, digital HR technology has a negative effect related to environmental performance. Similarly, from the five indirect effect hypotheses, only one was supported, the moderating role of digital HR technology between green empowerment and environmental performance. To optimize the environmental advantages, digital HR technology integration into sustainability programs calls for original thought and inventive solutions. Banks can boost their environmental performance while simultaneously increasing their HR procedures and employee engagement by incorporating these novel concepts.

When planning a hybrid energy system (HES) that incorporates both renewable and non-renewable energy sources—those that rely on fossil fuels—the primary considerations are the total cost of the system and the CO? emissions. In this paper, we will investigate the typical hybrid energy system (HES) that incorporates both renewable and non-renewable energy sources involving a detailed simulation process that may require specific inputs, models, and data. Then, we employed dual optimization methods: genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The consequences of GA and PSO execution in the bus timetabling problem depict that the GA algorithm is better at finding the optimal solution in terms of accuracy and iteration. Additionally, the GA algorithm is also superior to the straightforwardness of the techniques used. So, in this work, we employed a Genetic Algorithm Optimization (GA)–-based optimal sizing technique for HES configurations that include sustainability wind turbines (WTs), battery storage (BS), and diesel generators (DGs). HES improved power delivery to a rural community in the Wasit Province, Iraq, situated at 46° - 36° and 32° - 31° in the country's southeastern central region. Throughout the project's 25-year lifespan, the optimization primarily aims to minimize the total cost (CT) and total CO? emissions (ECO2T). The outcomes demonstrate that the GA algorithm may, with continuous electricity supply, minimize the objectives while meeting the load demand.

After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world turned towards intensifying the implementation of modern educational technologies in general, especially those related to remote teaching and learning. These technologies have proven to save learners considerable time and effort, particularly in emergencies that necessitate a shift from traditional to remote education systems. They offer easy and secure methods for remote teaching and learning. One of the most significant modern technologies in this context is cloud computing, a term that refers to on-demand access to computer resources and systems over the network. Cloud computing can deliver a range of integrated computer services without being constrained by local resources, aiming to facilitate user interaction. The successful use and integration of cloud computing applications in educational institutions are key indicators of achieving outstanding educational quality. This includes attaining the highest possible levels of sustainable development competencies in education. The effectiveness of utilizing these applications is contingent upon the proper management of educational technology applications and their flexible and rapid activation from any location through the Internet. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the current utilization and deployment of cloud computing applications in activating e-learning at King Faisal University and provide insight into realizing the desired outcomes of implementing one of the most crucial e-learning technologies as a means of achieving sustainable development in education. This was accomplished by identifying the problems and challenges facing the use and deployment of this technology in educational institutions in the Kingdom, specifically at King Faisal University. Additionally, the study aimed to propose ways to enhance the utilization of certain applications utilizing this technology in e-learning within educational institutions.

We investigate the potential influence of decent work and financial inclusion on economic growth, aligning our analysis with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8). Analyzing a diverse set of 26 low-income, 20 middle-income, and 15 high-income countries, we utilize a dynamic fixed-effect panel data approach and apply the Generalized Method of Moments from 2010 to 2021. The findings highlight that favorable conditions for decent work and increased access to digital financial services contribute positively to economic growth. The synergistic effect of these SDG 8 components is notably pronounced in high-income countries, with greater potential for elevated economic growth rates. Conversely, no discernible impact is observed on the economic growth of low-income countries. The results for middle-income countries present nuanced coefficient outcomes, offering a more intricate interpretation of their economic dynamics. An extensive impulse-response analysis, conducted using a Panel Vector Autoregression model, demonstrates distinct impacts of shocks related to decent work and financial inclusion across various income categories of countries. Our findings pass various robustness checks, affirming their reliability and suggesting significant policy implications for recognizing the crucial role of decent work and financial inclusion in fostering economic growth.

Water is the most abundant substance on Earth, but only 2.5% can be used for drinking and farming; the rest is seawater containing much salt. Solar desalination is a great tool to solve this problem for small families and remote areas. However, the disadvantage of using solar power is still the low productivity of distillate because it depends on the season, region, and intensity of solar radiation. Solar radiation heat absorbing and storing materials are a favorable solution in increasing evaporation rate, efficiency, and total distillate. Many have been developed to date, but these materials require more expenditure to be used as radiation heat sinks and stores. Charcoal derived from wood has high thermal energy absorption and porosity. Four desalination devices were used, namely using an additional absorber made from Kapok wood (Ceiba pentandra) coded CP_60, Gamal wood (Gliricidia sepium) coded GS_60, Kusambi wood (Schleichera oleosa) coded SO_60, and without additional absorber as a comparison. All desalination devices have the same shape and size, simple, with an area of 0.09 m2 each. Before the additional absorber base material is used, drying, charring, grinding, meshing, pressing, and briquetting are carried out. The test results show that the additional absorber of natural materials affects the evaporation rate, desalination efficiency, and total distillate water. The distillation device using Gamal wood (Gliricidia sepium) additional absorber material, coded GS_60, provides maximum performance such as distillate water yield every 30 minutes and total distillate 124 ml/0.09 m2, 28.19% efficiency, and evaporation rate.

This study aims to structure the implementation of a governmental cloud of things (CoT), edge computing (EC), and fog computing in Iraq in the context of sustainable wireless communication. A base of literature was built that included any challenges, opportunities, and best practices relevant to these innovative technologies to set up the background for this paper. A concept model was created that included core components (cognitive technologies and fog computing), key processes (resource analysis, infrastructure design), and stakeholders (governments, industry, community). A strategic methodology made up of stakeholder involvement, capacity building, and pilot projects was used in the project. Concerning IoT planned deployment and services provision, network infrastructure was put in place to support the devices and a higher level of security measures were recommended. Using scenario hypothesis, MATLAB simulator was employed to simulate data value distribution as well as received power distribution based on different institutions for 12 months. Monitoring and evaluation should be followed to measure performance indicators and effects on this process. Continuously improvement strategies were the highlight of the session which further stimulated innovations. Acquainted projects will be put in the function to extend the range of activities by including additional government agencies, regions, or sectors. Reporting of the collected data and funding will be done with stakeholders to share and pool knowledge.

Using web-based technologies in various HR procedures is the concept of Electronic Human Resource Management or E-HRM. It makes a big difference to the efficiency of the business by providing several options for getting things done quickly. Nevertheless, there has been scant investigation into this field, and its maximum potential remains untapped, despite its meteoric rise. The present research also suggests adding the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to the E-HRM continuity model to find out what factors affect workers' behavioral intention to use E-HRM systems, and how awareness plays a role in this. In order to help advance E-HRM as a field, this study aims to expand the theoretical bounds of existing research. 400 prospective employees were scouted from Jordanian five-star hotels as part of the convenience sampling procedure used to get the data. Starting in January 2022, the data was collected over one month. We used a Structural Equation Model (SEM) with Smart PLS on the dataset to evaluate our hypothesis. The study found that behavioral intention to use E-HRM is significantly influenced by perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust, and subjective norms. The results only backed up two of the four hypotheses on the moderator effect. Hotel workers will be better able to handle high levels of stress and conduct their jobs more efficiently if the industry adopts E-HRM technology.

Thanh Hoa Province has 11 mountainous districts with seven ethnic minority groups, and the three largest ethnic groups are the Muong, Thai, and H'Mong. This region has great potential for developing a forest-based economy, ecotourism, community-based tourism, and cultural heritage tourism that is associated with cultural festivals, customs, lifestyles, and traditional housing architecture. However, developing a family-based economy, such as engaging in community-based tourism or agricultural production, has negatively affected and disrupted the structure of village spaces, spatial planning, and traditional house design. The arbitrary construction of additional service spaces and spaces for resident guests within the village space and the precinct of a house has reduced the area of the garden and agricultural land. The self-initiated modification, expansion, and use of non-traditional materials in traditional housing structures by residents to serve tourists have resulted in the loss of the architectural value of traditional homes. The exploitation of agricultural land has affected the natural forest area, the forest protection area at the headwaters, and the vegetation cover and natural ecosystems. Moreover, agricultural economic activities have not been linked to service activities, handicraft production, or tourism, and there are no adaptive residential space models, thus failing to create sustainable livelihood activities. Therefore, the article proposes settlement space models and orientations for residential space development including village spaces, house precincts, and traditional housing spaces of ethnic minorities in Thanh Hoa Province, associated with sustainable livelihoods based on the exploitation of traditional housing architectural heritage values to ensure local economic development. These models are closely linked with the conservation and promotion of ethnic cultural values, landscape preservation, environmental protection, and contribution to poverty reduction for residents.

The exploitation of agricultural land has affected the natural forest area, the forest protection area at the headwaters, and the vegetation cover and natural ecosystems. Moreover, agricultural economic activities have not been linked to service activities, handicraft production, or tourism, and there are no adaptive residential space models, thus failing to create sustainable livelihood activities. Therefore, the article proposes settlement space models and orientations for residential space development including village spaces, house precincts, and traditional housing spaces of ethnic minorities in Thanh Hoa Province, associated with sustainable livelihoods based on the exploitation of traditional housing architectural heritage values to ensure local economic development. These models are closely linked with the conservation and promotion of ethnic cultural values, landscape preservation, environmental protection, and contribution to poverty reduction for residents.","PeriodicalId":505792,"journal":{"name":"Heritage and Sustainable Development","volume":"111 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140247267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
