Based upon Keynesian General Theory, the key concepts, and variables of Liquidity Preference, Marginal Efficiency of Capital, and Marginal Propensity to Consume are familiarized and elaborated in terms of their role and importance in theory. Different references have been cited to support the interpretations as originally presented in Keynes’s General Theory. Literature has widely discussed the vital postulates of Keynes on the principle of effective demand, the consumption function, multiplier and interest rate, interest rate and investment. These postulates take account of the subjected variables and elaborate on the importance of these in Keynes General theory and models. Furthermore, the criticism of General theory is discussed, and conclusions are drawn at the end of the article.","PeriodicalId":297563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Business","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126965446","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}

This paper investigates the impact of the RMG sector on women's empowerment, centering on ten garment companies located in BISIC, Fatullah, Narayanganj District, Bangladesh. Employing a sample of 150 women workers (with a response rate of 90%), this study examines the contribution of employment in this industry to economic, social, and political empowerment. Through a comprehensive review of literature and empirical studies, the research explores the complex relationship between women's participation in the RMG industry and the outcomes of their empowerment. The findings underscore that, while the RMG sector has created employment opportunities for a substantial number of women in developing countries like Bangladesh, the nature and extent of their empowerment experiences are shaped by factors such as workplace conditions, education, and societal norms. Recognizing these nuances is crucial for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and advocates of women's rights to formulate effective strategies that optimize the positive impact of the RMG sector on women's empowerment in BISIC, Fatullah, Narayanganj District.","PeriodicalId":297563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Business","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135611973","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}

Within the empirical and theoretical realms, especially within country-specific contexts, the multifaceted dynamics of short-run and long-run impacts stemming from financial development on inflation have remained a significantly underexplored area. To address this research gap, we employ ARDL analysis, recognized for its sophistication and analytical rigor. The empirical findings from this study unveil a robust and enduring influence of financial development on inflation in Kenya over the long haul. Nonetheless, it's noteworthy that immediate evidence of financial development's impact on inflation appears relatively modest. Furthermore, the study unveils a complex interplay between interest rates and inflation, both in the short and long run, showcasing an negative relationship. These outcomes emphasize a substantial Granger and ARDL-driven causal link between inflation and financial development. Importantly, the policy implications arising from these empirical insights underscore the critical need for prudent financial sector oversight, focusing on fostering a climate conducive to stable and moderate inflation rates. This necessitates concerted efforts from both financial institutions and the government to fortify financial market infrastructures and bolster the uptake of financial services.","PeriodicalId":297563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Business","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135750801","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}

I create a disclosure index by doing a content analysis of 58 firms' publicly accessible documents. As an independent variable, the Disclosure Index Score derived from the content analysis of 58 corporations is taken into consideration. As a stand-in for business value, the market to book assets ratio is employed. The relationship between corporate value and the degree of climate change disclosure is investigated in this study. According to empirical data, investors weigh how much information has been disclosed on climate change when determining a company's market value. Because it looks at the connection between climate change declarations and businesses' value, this study adds to the body of knowledge in environmental accounting. Practically speaking, the results of this investigation will give the Canadian Securities Administrator (CSA) an understanding of how disclosures about climate change are made and give them a framework for drafting associated disclosure requirements. Additionally, it should motivate Canadian oil and gas corporations to reveal their GHG emission reduction plans and strategies.","PeriodicalId":297563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Business","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135829753","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}

It plays a vital role in decreasing poverty and ensuring food security. Plant diseases are a serious stumbling block in agricultural production in Bangladesh. At times, humans can’t detect the disease from an infected leaf with the naked eye. Using inorganic chemicals or pesticides in plants when it’s too late leads in vain most of the time, deposing all the previous labor. The deep-learning technique of leaf-based image classification, which has shown impressive results, can make the work of recognizing and classifying all diseases trouble-less and more precise. In this paper, we’ve mainly proposed a better model for the detection of leaf diseases. Our proposed paper includes the collection of data on three different kinds of crops: bell peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes. For training and testing the proposed CNN model, the plant leaf disease dataset collected from Kaggle, is used which has 17430 images. The images are labeled with 14 separate classes of damage. The developed CNN model performs efficiently and could successfully detect and classify the tested diseases. The proposed CNN model may have great potency in crop disease management.","PeriodicalId":297563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Business","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135103466","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}
