The aim of this paper was to investigate the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR), organizational commitment, and organizational identification with turnover intentions. This paper also explains the mediating relationship between organizational commitment and organizational identification with the corporate social responsibility and turnover intentions. The data were gathered from banking professionals working in different banks in Pakistan. The participants were recruited through convenient sampling; in total, three hundred participants were involved in this study. The resulting data were analyzed, and the conclusions were drawn through regression and correlation analysis using the SPSS Software. The findings of this study show that corporate social responsibility plays a significant role in determining the organizational commitment and organizational identification of internal stakeholders and employees in financial institutions. This study will be help organizations determine their social responsibility and all the benefits that they can receive through the implementation of CSR practices.
In recent times, the green transition, by promoting carbon neutrality, has become highly imperative to meet environmental challenges. The present literature review study seeks to explore the intersecting role of greener innovations in facilitating financial inclusion for a sustainable future. Within the global agenda is the goal of carbon neutrality, with the aim of reducing environmental impact and mitigating climate change. Aim: The present study aims to investigate the role that technological innovations play in the financial inclusion of achieving climate neutrality. Method: Through a systematic literature review, we investigate how new innovations generate new investment opportunities and promote sustainable development. However, fair, accessible, and inclusive financing is crucial. Findings: the analyzed documents in this study shows that technological innovations can play an important role in financial inclusion for carbon neutrality and provide some important policy implications. Indeed, a favorable regulatory environment could generate positive effects already in the short term, with important environmental, economic, and social repercussions.
We previously demonstrated that Panax notoginseng (pNG) root extract treatments exertedneuroprotective effects on brain injuries using middle cerebral artery occlusion in mice. The present study aims to investigate the neuroprotective effects of PNG extract and its ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 on ischemic neuronal damage caused by oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) in mouse organotypic hippocampal slice cultures (OHSCs). Before the experiments, hippocampal slices collected from 7-day-old Swiss mice were cultured for 7 days. OGD was triggered in OHSCs for 30, 60, or 90 min with the aim of finding the optimal period of OGD for drug testing. PNG extract (10, 30 μg/ml), ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 (5, 25 μM), or MK-801 25 μM, a reference drug, was added to the culture medium 24 h before OGD and these treatments were continued for 24 h after the optimum 60-min period of OGD. After 24 h of OGD exposure, the measurement of propidium iodide uptake was analysed in OHSCs to evaluate neuronal cell damage. The results showed that OGD time-dependently increased PI uptake of the OHSCs. PNG 30 μg/ml treatment reduced the OGD-induced neuronal cell damage in OHSCs. Ginsenosides Rg1 25 μM, Rb1 (5, 25 μM), as well as MK-801 (25 μM) significantly inhibited PI uptake 24 h after OGD exposure. However, ginsenoside Rg1 5 μM did not show any significant effects on the OGD-induced neuronal cell damage. These findings indicated that ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 contributed to the neuroprotective effects of PNG against ischemic damage in OHSCs and the neuroprotective effect of ginsenoside Rb1 was stronger than that of ginsenoside Rg1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
