The Role Of Green Finance In Attaining Environmental Sustainability Within ESG Performance In EU Countries
Get PDFThis study investigates the role of green finance in advancing the environmental dimension of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance across European Union (EU) member states. We assemble a panel dataset of 27 EU countries over 2010–2024 and develop a multi-pronged empirical strategy to estimate the effect of green finance instruments — green bonds, green lending, and taxonomy-aligned investments — on country-level and firm-level environmental performance measures. Using fixed-effects, system-GMM, and difference-in-differences designs around major EU policy milestones (notably the EU Taxonomy and the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, SFDR), we find that greater green finance depth is associated with statistically and economically significant improvements in environmental ESG scores, reductions in carbon intensity, and higher green investment shares. Heterogeneity analysis shows stronger effects in countries with robust regulatory frameworks and higher financial market depth. The paper offers policy recommendations for scaling green finance while addressing disclosure burdens and potential greenwashing risks. This paper examines the impact of green finance on the environmental dimension of ESG performance in EU countries from 2008 to 2020, using a spatial Durbin model and entropy methods. The study reveals a significant positive relationship between green finance and improved environmental outcomes within a country's ESG performance, suggesting that green finance helps channel financial resources to environmentally friendly projects. The findings support the EU's Sustainable Finance Strategy and emphasize the importance of coordinated financial policy for achieving environmental sustainability
Comparative studies on efficacy of the Leishman-Giemsa stains, Hematoxylin-Eosin & Papanicolaou stains for cytological diagnosis of oral lesions
Get PDFOral potentially malignant disorders are the precursors of oral cancers in India. Severealcoholism, use of tobacco like cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, betel nut chewing and humanpapilloma virus (HPV) are the most common risk factors for oral potentially disorder andmay also occur due to poor dental care and poor diet. The incidence of oral cancer is highest inIndia, South and Southeast Asian countries.Papanicolaou (PAP) stain is the routine and universal stain for the cytological procedure and iseasy and quick to perform for screening programs. The Leishman-Giemsa (LG) is an easy, cost–effective one-step technique. It needs less time and less infrastructural support. TheHematoxylin-Eosin stains are used routinely in Histopathological procedures. These newerstains like, LG are not much been utilized in oral exfoliative cytology. Hence, the present studywas designed to carry out the qualitative evaluation of cytological smears of patients with pre-malignant lesions using three different stains that are H&E, PAP, and LG. This is to ascertain theefficiency and reliability of these stains in evaluating cellular and nuclear atypia and correlatingthe cytopathological and histopathological grade
School Head Supervision as a Catalyst for Science Teacher Professional Growth
Get PDFThis study examines how school heads’ supervisory practices can support science teacher learning. The research was designed using a mixed-methods approach, gathering quantitative data from teachers through questionnaires and qualitative data from school leaders in the form of interviews and FGDs with educators. Quantitative data show a highly positive attitude toward supervision in which high scores of agreement (the rates of consistent questions admitting should be observed higher than 82%.) with strong influences on methods of teaching, understanding the content and leadership. These results were verified in the qualitative analysis that uncovered themes. According to school leaders, their role is to support and assist as mentor and resources. Educators explained how positive, dialogic feedback resulted in them feeling more empowered and trusted to undertake reflective practice and they developed from ineffective teaching methods to better practices which encompassed hands-on science activities. The equipoise evidence map suggests that site-based supervision works better as a developmental, collegial process than a chastising test. Results The results of the apprenticeship supervision practices programme study show that creating a training network in developmental supervision is essential to help instill in teachers a culture of ongoing professional development and also for improving science education

Millennial-Scale Denitrification Dynamics in the Arabian Sea: A Paleo-Bibliometric Review
Get PDFArabian Sea (AS) is a region of significant oceanographic and climatic importance, characterized by a monsoon-driven productivity and extensive oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). This review synthesizes millennial-scale studies on denitrification in the AS, examining its links with past climate changes, oceanic oxygen levels, and biogeochemical cycles. Denitrification, a key microbial process transforming bioavailable nitrogen to inert nitrogen gas, plays a crucial role in the nitrogen budget of marine ecosystems, particularly in OMZs where low oxygen conditions favor such pathways. Reconstructions of past denitrification, based on isotopic and geochemical proxies preserved in sediments, reveal strong links with fluctuations in the South Asian Monsoon (SAM) and associated nutrient supply. This review highlights the sensitivity of OMZs to climatic and anthropogenic forcing, providing insights into how future climate change may alter nitrogen cycling and OMZ dynamics. The findings contribute to improving predictive models of biogeochemical feedbacks in the global climate system

HPLC METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION FOR THE ESTIMATION OF ENMETAZOBACTAM AND CEFEPIME
Get PDFThe present study aimed to develop and validate a simple, precise, accurate, and robust reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for the simultaneous estimation of Enmetazobactam (EMB) and Cefepime (CFP) in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a C18 Hypersil BDS column with an optimized mobile phase, resulting in sharp and well-resolved peaks for both analytes. The method exhibited excellent linearity within the concentration ranges of 5–25 μg/mL for EMB and 10–50 μg/mL for CFP, with correlation coefficients (r²) of 0.9987 and 0.9990, respectively. Accuracy studies revealed mean recoveries close to 100%, confirming the method’s reliability. Precision results showed %RSD values within acceptable limits for repeatability, intra-day, and inter-day analyses, while robustness tests indicated that minor variations in analytical conditions did not significantly affect the results. The method also demonstrated high sensitivity, with low LOD and LOQ values for both drugs. Assay of the marketed formulation showed drug content of 99.716% for EMB and 99.271% for CFP, indicating suitability for routine quality control. The validated method fulfills ICH Q2(R1) guidelines and is suitable for routine analysis, stability testing, and quality assessment of EMB and CFP in combined pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Deep Radiomics-Attention Fusion Network (RaAFN) for Accurate Uterine Tumour Classification
Get PDFThe complicated structure of uterine tumours and the natural weaknesses of the manual approach to image interpretation result in early-stage classification, which can be challenging to achieve, leading to a delayed diagnosis and poor clinical care. To overcome this issue, the given Radiomics-Attention Fusion Network (RaAFN) incorporates handcrafted radiomics features together with deep learning representations with channel and spatial attention mechanism. Radiomics brings out clinically significant texture, shape, and intensity features, whereas a CNN backbone brings out hierarchical representations of images. The attention modules are used to make the network focus on tumour-relevant regions and a fusion layer is used to combine radiomics and deep features into a single representation that is used to classify uterine tumours robustly using a dense neural network. The provision of this multi-level feature fusion is quite effective to manage image variability and noise, and, therefore, the model can be deployed in real-time clinical use. The experimental assessment is done on a dataset of uterine imaging; it tends to classify better with 94% accuracy surpassing the available methods. RaAFN is the most important innovation in the sense that it takes into consideration the attention-directed integration of the hybrid features and it offers an accurate, interpretable and clinically reliable framework of automated uterine tumour classification that facilitates timely diagnosis and the post-processing of improved patient outcomes.
