Securing Water in Himalayan Towns in the Context of Rapid Urbanisation and a Changing Climate |Chapter 7 | Current Research on Geography, Earth Science and Environment Vol. 5

 

Towns and cities in the Himalayan regions of India and Nepal, and the Asian continent in general, which is home to over a fifth of the world’s population, are undergoing rapid expansion and urbanisation. The population in this region is increasingly becoming concentrated in urban and peri-urban areas.  Population growth, changing lifestyles, rising economic status, and the effects of climate change are all coalescing to cause acute water shortages, particularly during the dry season, leading to a situation of water insecurity in the region. This chapter examines the factors leading to water stress in the central and western Himalaya of Nepal and India, respectively, in view of the potential future impacts of climate change. The four towns of Dhulikhel and Dharan in Nepal, and Mussoorie and Haldwani in India, representative of urban areas in the lower Himalaya that are dependent on springs, streams, rivers and groundwater for meeting domestic and commercial water needs, facing a multitude of challenges in securing water, were chosen for this study. The most important cause of water scarcity in the study cities is the rapid population increase. In the cities, population growth and interlinked factors such as migration from rural areas, tourist influx, unscientific construction and degradation of recharge zones are causing serious threats to water security, disasters and pollution. Land-use change has further contributed to declining water availability in streams, springs, and groundwater reserves. The final factor that is influencing water availability, and can be expected to impact future water supply, is a change in climatic patterns. The present circumstances and trends indicate that ensuring adequate supplies of acceptable quality water for these cities will become ever more challenging in the decades to come unless city-specific climate-adaptive and equitable water supply measures are employed effectively.  Moreover, certain segments of city dwellers face greater difficulties in gaining access to potable water due to socio-cultural and economic factors. Therefore, to achieve sustainable, equitable and climate resilient water management, measures such as, protection of critical urban water zones, stream bank and gully stabilization, water harvesting and groundwater recharge will be needed along with augmentation of infrastructure, increased storage capacity, appropriate policies and institutional arrangements at local, state, and national levels for effectively addressing the issues of equitable water access to each of the households in the cities. Strategic engagements with the private sector and innovative solutions, as well as policy measures, are key imperatives to meeting the challenges in securing water for these Himalayan towns.

Vesicular Nanocarriers in Transdermal Drug Delivery| Chapter 2 | Pharmaceutical Research: Recent Advances and Trends Vol. 7

Nanocarriers are advanced materials at the nanoscale, designed to enhance drug delivery. Their ability to transport both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs is vital, as hydrophobic drugs often struggle with solubility and bioavailability. Nanocarriers improve these aspects by protecting drugs from degradation and facilitating their transport through the bloodstream. Despite their benefits, challenges such as potential toxicity, especially from inorganic nanomaterials, require careful consideration. Advances in protein-based nanocarriers, which are biocompatible and biodegradable, show promise in overcoming these challenges. In transdermal drug delivery, nanocarriers like liposomes, niosomes, ethosomes, and others, enhance drug penetration through the skin's barriers, improving therapeutic efficacy. However, issues like skin barrier penetration, cytotoxicity, and carrier stability remain areas for ongoing research. As this field evolves, nanocarriers hold significant potential to revolutionize drug delivery by offering targeted, sustained release with minimized systemic toxicity.

Kidnapping as a Business Activity and Related Security Implications: A Nigerian Perspective | Chapter 10 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 1

Kidnapping for ransom has become a serious problem in Nigeria, affecting individuals, families, and society as a whole. While criminals may benefit financially from this illegal activity, the consequences are devastating for victims and hinder the country’s economic growth. The increasing rate of kidnapping has created fear among citizens, discouraged tourism and investment, and posed a major challenge to security management.

 

This study examines the causes of kidnapping and its impact on security and development in Nigeria. The findings suggest that factors like unemployment, poverty, drug abuse, and social inequality contribute to the rise of kidnapping, with many young people getting involved in these crimes. Despite government efforts to tackle the issue, kidnapping continues to spread.

 

To address this problem, society must educate and guide young people toward positive values like honesty, integrity, and non-violence. The government must also take strong action by creating more job opportunities, investing in infrastructure, and reducing poverty to discourage youth from turning to crime. Only by tackling the root causes can Nigeria achieve a safer and more stable society.

Navigating Implementation Challenges of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems in the Tanzania Mining Industry: Evidence from Barrick Mining Company Tanzania | Chapter 10 | Contemporary Research in Business, Management and Economics Vol. 2

 The study assessed the implementation challenges of ERP systems in the Tanzania mining industry. Businesses are under increased pressure to minimize supply chain costs overall, increase throughout, decrease inventory, diversify their product offerings, enhance customer service, raise quality, raise efficiency and synchronize global demand, supply and production. A mixed research approach was employed, in that regard, a case study design was used. Since the approach of the study was qualitative, then the content/ thematic analysis was employed. However, the quantitative data collected were analyzed by using Statistical Packaging for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study finding shows that, despite the ERP's success, its implementation of it has been constrained by some challenges. For example, the challenge which were identified by the respondents was the high cost of implantation (87.50%) due to the investment of newly acquired technology which requires investment of a lot of money which many organizations cannot afford it. According to the study's findings, there is a higher chance of success when management accountants are involved in the implementation of an ERP system. There was a lot of frustration during the installation phase because the task is not simple. But in cases where deployments are effective, data quality improves, information is available more quickly and decision-making is enhanced. Also, the IT infrastructures in the country have been reported by respondents to be incapable of accommodating most of the new technologies (84.38%). Furthermore, the findings reveal that the performance and acquisition of the ERP system were constrained by a lack of enough and qualified personnel which makes it difficult to make the implementation of its at large scale (71.88%). The study concludes that the system is important to be adopted and applied not only in the mining sector but also in all sectors of the economy.  According to the study, management accountants should be able to easily communicate with the management team and summarize and explain the results (the financial data's impact) in plain language. It is imperative that management accountants adopt a collaborative position with managers.

Recommendations to Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses a Context for Small and Medium Enterprises in the New Normal | Chapter 12 | Managing Higher Education and Enterprises in Developing Countries Beyond COVID-19: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Business and Management Dynamics

The aim of this paper is to provide recommendations to entrepreneurs and small businesses emanating from the coronavirus disease – 19 (COVID-19) pandemic experience. The motive of this paper was based on how, during the COVID-19 pandemic entrepreneurs were confronted with the need to adjust to a changing economic climate. On the one hand, entrepreneurs were tasked with directing their businesses away from bankruptcy, while, on the other hand, had to deal with a pressing need to keep their businesses afloat in an environment marked by low discretionary income and customer uncertainty. These challenges were exacerbated by the lack of pragmatic business recommendations crafted to assist small business entrepreneurs in surviving business challenges which then prompted this inquiry. A conceptual approach was employed to review extant literature in the domain of entrepreneurship, while a philosophical inquiry was made with entrepreneurship scholars in business, to gain perspective into the lessons experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The procedure of inquiry was guided by the dictates of an exploratory research design. The derived insights show that in the new normal, entrepreneurs must be elastic to change and unexpected shocks, embrace the possibilities offered by digitalization, prioritize inclusiveness, and focus on creating sustainable growth through diversification.

There are prominent parastatals that play a critical role in the everyday life of most South Africans, through freight logistics and electricity provision. Their project portfolios are worth hundreds of billions of Rands. Considering the amount of taxpayers’ money invested by SOCs into projects each year there is a pressing need to ensure that challenges facing status reporting during the construction of capital projects are addressed. Capital infrastructure investments will go a long way in yielding fruits through achieving the desired developmental goals, stimulating job creation and boosting the country’s economy, which is particularly needed considering the persistent, volatile economic climate which is stunting job creation and hampering GDP growth. However, within these SOCs, billions of taxpayers’ Rands are invested into hundreds of capital projects that are frequently delayed (Yelland, 2016; Groenewald, 2017). A project status report summarises the position or condition of a particular project during a stated period of time. Zulch (2014) has shown the importance of stakeholder communication in realising the project deliverables. This paper deliberates the challenges of status reporting faced by SOCs during capital project construction.
