Carbon emissions are primarily the result of human activity in urban areas. Inadequate sanitary facilities, contaminated drinking water, nonrenewable energy, and high traffic congestion have all impacted the natural ecosystem. Using data from 1975 to 2019, the study assessed the impact of the aforementioned variables on Pakistan’s carbon emissions in light of this crucial fact. The ARDL cointegration method was used to estimate the short- and long-run parameter estimates. Urban sanitation challenges and energy consumption increase carbon emissions, which affects the natural environment by raising a country’s carbon intensity. Economic expansion confirmed the inverted U-shaped relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth to verify the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis in the long run. In contrast, the monotonically rising function of carbon emissions provides evidence of the nation’s economic development in the short run. Access to clean drinking water improves population health and encourages the purchase of eco-friendly products. The government must improve sanitation services and use renewable energy sources to enhance air quality.
The destruction of the earth’s ecosystems is the most pressing issue globally. Carbon emissions account for nearly half of global air pollution. Methane is the primary source of ground-level ozone and a significant source of greenhouse gases (GHGs), with greater warming potential than carbon dioxide emissions. The study examines the impact of the different methane emissions (released by agriculture, energy, and industrial sectors), urbanization, natural resource depletion, and livestock production on carbon emissions in the panel of selected Asian countries for the period of 1971 to 2020. The results show that energy associated methane emissions, livestock production, natural resource depletion, and urbanization are the main detrimental factors of environmental degradation across countries. The causality estimates show the unidirectional relationship running from livestock production and agriculture methane emissions to carbon emissions, from total methane emissions and carbon emissions to urbanization and from urbanization to energy methane emissions and livestock production. The forecasting estimates suggest that total methane emissions, natural resource depletion, and urbanization will likely increase carbon emissions over the next ten years. The study concludes that the energy sector should adopt renewable energy sources in its production process to minimize carbon emissions. Urbanization and excessive resource exploitation must be curtailed to attain carbon neutrality.
Deviant behaviors of employees have been into research considerations for long however, research on constructive deviance behaviors, keeping in view its non-contingency, still needs consideration. This study focuses on determining how Person-Organization Fit (P-O fit) predicts Constructive Deviance Behavior (CDB) among employees. To analyze the mechanism involved, Psychological Ownership (PO) is studied as a mediating mechanism between the direct relationship of person-organization fit and constructive deviance behaviors. Moreover, Collectivist Orientation (CO) is taken as a moderating variable on the relationship of psychological ownership and constructive deviance behaviors. A total of 561 managerial employees from informatics industry were included in the sample. Findings show that person-organization fit, psychological ownership and collectivist orientation were significantly related to constructive deviance behaviors. Psychological ownership mediates the link between person origination fit and construct deviance behaviors, while collectivist orientations moderate the relationship between psychological ownership and constructive deviance behaviors. At the low, moderate, and high levels of collectivist orientation (moderator), conditional indirect effects of person-organization fit on constructive deviance behaviors through psychological ownership (mediator) were significant. Future research studies may examine other antecedents (such as building coalition and networking) of constructive deviance behavior through other mediating mechanism (such as psychological empowerment), while the consequences (such as creative performance and innovative performance) of constructive deviance behaviors are also needed to be explored to create awareness about the positive side of deviance behaviors.
After the capitalist and socialist economic systems dominated the economic life of human society for a long period of time, people lived in them between the economic freedom of the individual without taking into account the interests of the majority, represented by the privatization of the economic system as a whole in light of the capitalist vision of the economy, and the socialist economic system that included state control over all joints Economic life without permitting the release of the economic energies of the individual, and without taking into account the innate need for love of ownership. Since the Islamic economy is based on the consideration of the individual aspect of freedom of work and ownership, taking into account the interest of society and not harming it, I thought writing about privatization under the Islamic economic system, and a statement taking into account the interest of the individual without harming the group’s interest, and putting the group’s interest before the individual’s interest, while not harming the individual’s interests. The research was divided into three sections, The first topic with ownership in terms of concept, types and characteristics, The second topic it deals with privatization, its concept, objectives, forms and effects. The third topic is devoted to talking about converting public ownership to private ownership, the extent of its permissibility, and the special controls associated with this conversion. Then I concluded the research with the most important results and some recommendations.
