Amplifying climate resilience: The impact of social protection, social cohesion, and social capital on public support for climate change action

Leer artículo

 

 

Traditional climate action strategies often overlook the critical role of social cohesion. This study explores how social protection programs and community unity can bolster climate resilience and public support for decarbonization efforts. The study adopted a systematic methodology that employed quantitative (scientometric/bibliometric analysis) and qualitative (content analysis) approaches to analyze existing social protection programs, community cohesion indicators, and public attitudes toward climate change action. Our findings revealed a crucial link: communities with robust social cohesion demonstrate a heightened commitment to climate action. This translates to increased engagement in sustainable practices, information sharing, and mutual support among community members. This suggests policymakers can leverage existing social networks, civic engagement and safety nets to build public support for decarbonization efforts. The study highlighted that building community engagement and inclusivity is critical to fostering a collective commitment to climate action and successfully transitioning to low-carbon societies.

This paper provides a detailed exploration of CMOS operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) aimed at enhancing understanding of their development, design, and application. To achieve this, a comprehensive examination of the common characteristics, parameters, and bibliographic reviews of Op-Amps, distinguishing among various chosen operational amplifiers. A comprehensive bibliographic review of the operational amplifier’s keywords between 2008 and 2018 has also been conducted. A bibliometric analysis of 4997 documents from the Web of Science (WOS) Collection is conducted using VOSviewer software. Furthermore, an analysis and comparison of these Op-Amps across functional aspects relevant to industrial and biomedical applications, emphasising the salient characteristics of each technique. After the survey, a novel Op-Amp design is proposed, incorporating a differential amplifier at the first stage, along with a compensating capacitor and a high gain stage. The biasing circuitry is replaced with an active load resistor (MOS transistor), simplifying layout design, and reducing the amplifier’s area and power consumption compared to traditional two-stage designs. The power source for this design is 3.3 V. This designed operational amplifier achieved a gain of 62.9449 dB, a high CMRR of 92.8079 dB, and a unity gain bandwidth of 33 MHz, and the optimised layout area is 0.001476 µm². The proposed circuit was designed and simulated utilising the Cadence Virtuoso 180 nm CMOS process. The simulation results show that the desired criteria have been met. Additionally, the challenges and future possibilities in analog circuits, laying the groundwork for research in both analogue and digital circuits to tackle complex real-world issues have been addressed.

The dynamics of research in customer retention: A bibliometric analysis

Leer artículo

 

 

Customer retention is crucial for businesses because it ensures the ongoing operation of a company’s activities. Hence, companies must adopt suitable and inventive tactics to maintain customer retention. This study employed bibliometric analysis spanning the past decade to identify factors associated with customer retention that can be observed through data visualization networks, overlays, and density maps. The study involved analyzing a compilation of pertinent journals and scientific publications using the software tools Publish or Perish and VOSviewer. A total of 200 research articles were acquired from Google Scholar and subjected to analysis using the Publish or Perish tool. During the period from 2013 to 2023, there was a variable pattern observed in CR, as evidenced by fluctuations in both the quantity of research articles published and the number of citations received. The network visualization results indicate a strong correlation between customer retention and factors such as customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, and customer relationships. The overlays’ results for price, product, and cost exhibit the darkest colors, specifically purple. Conversely, keywords such as strategy, experience, and corporate image are represented by lighter colors, notably yellow. At that time, the colors that stood out the most were associated with density analysis, such as customer retention and customer satisfaction. In contrast, keywords such as competition, effort, price, challenge, success, and brand appeared less prominent.

Cryptocurrency and financial crimes: A bibliometric analysis and future research agenda

Leer artículo

 

 

The use of cryptocurrency for financial crimes has increased in recent years because of its decentralized and anonymous nature. This study extracted scholarly articles from the Scopus database and adopted bibliographic and content analysis to review financial fraud research in cryptocurrency. In addition, this study discussed the top ten cryptocurrency scams, potential reasons for falling into those traps, and associated theories to explore scammers’ behavior and outlined comprehensive future research guidelines for a safer financial world. Since 2018, the publication trend of revealing cryptocurrency frauds has gained momentum, and research on this topic has increased significantly in the last two years. The USA is the most significant contributor to cryptocurrency scam research. We found that both developed and developing countries are fairly concerned about combatting crypto fraudsters even though there are no regulated guidelines across the countries. The research potential has shifted from malware, bitcoin, and blockchain to fintech-based crimes such as money laundering, pump-and-dump schemes, and phishing. We observed that ICO fraud, money laundering, Ponzi schemes, phishing, darknet market transactions, ransomware, and pumps and dumps are some of the predominant crimes in crypto and that investor overconfidence, speculative expectations, low barriers to entry, decentralization, and anonymity are the primary reasons for crimes in cryptocurrency. This study suggests studying the socioeconomic impacts of cryptocurrencies, the necessity for standardized global regulation, and the integration of interdisciplinary research. Future research should emphasize exploring the innovation cycle in cryptocurrency assets, understanding cybercrime dynamics, guarding against crypto market manipulation, and developing automated scam prevention.
