The data for the research were collected from citizens of India. A structured questionnaire was prepared for a survey and distributed to respondents through a digital platform using Google Forms online and personal interviews (offline). A response was collected in January, 2024 to March, 2024. Data was collected from both primary and secondary data. Demographic profiles of Gen Z in the workplace are highlighted. Problems faced by Gen Z are discussed. The Cronbach’s alpha value was calculated and was 0.745 which is good and acceptable for research. The data analysis outcome is that 74 respondents strongly agree on having job insecurities as many good people are ready to apply for jobs. 72 respondents strongly agree that Gen Z preferred digital communication over in-person interactions on the job. Gen Z was good in maintaining work and personal life balance as results show 71 respondents strongly agree. 68 respondents strongly agree that the traditional hierarchy structure is sometimes a hurdle for performing employees as promotions and appraisals are not as per their choice and wants. Employers and employees have an age gap, and therefore points of view between them sometimes have differences. Gen Z is always open to the feedback.

advanced ERP system. Object-oriented research using the guided interview method was conducted with the managers of the
company, as well as with the staff overseeing the empowerment process for product components in the ERP system. The
managers showed little interest in being able to refine the functionality of some modules of the software used. This proved to
be particularly relevant in the case of the supervision of the production process. The results of the study refer to the case
found only in the studied facility. However, the situation in which one of the most advanced ERP systems is used in a
company and is supplemented by a spreadsheet in a complex process prompted the authors to present their findings. It seems
that regardless of the technological sophistication of the manufacturing processes used and the software used to manage all
aspects of the company, the most important ingredient is a competent, trained workforce at all levels of management. It is
also possible to improve the organisation in other companies by relieving lower-level staff of the burden of prolonged Excel
work. Sometimes there is a much more effective possibility to use existing system software, which can be adapted after a few
years to constantly changing conditions in the processes being supervised.

Simply cleanliness is a key to healthy lifestyle. Cleaning Products helps in removing dirt, soil, and grease, dust microorganisms from biological and non-biological surfaces. In the market, there are many types of cleaning products, which include personal care, skincare, and hair care and home care segment. Such product include Soaps, shampoos, face wash, intimate hygiene wash, toothpastes, detergents, floor cleaners, multi-surface cleaners, toilet cleaners, lime scale removers, air fresheners, sanitizers, kitchen Cleaners, acids, dishwashers, etc. It is important and necessary to have a natural and healthy cleaning routine in todays polluted and contaminated environment, unfortunately, we humans conveniently tend to be more dependent on harsh cleaning products. Biological Accidents like coronavirus made us believe in the role of cleaning products more significantly hence penetrating our casual mindset to a disciplined cleaning routine at home and offices. As a result, cleaning product' use has increased by 40% in homes, hospitals, workplaces, schools, colleges, public places, etc. As the frequency of home care maintenance is higher of all, its side effect need to be studied and analyzed As we know everything in this world has its own pros and cons, so is applicable to cleaning products. Some harmful ingredients used in household cleaning products are alcohol (ethanol), ammonia, inorganic chlorine compounds (bleach), oxidizers (hydrogen peroxides), phenols, chlorine, phthalates, parabens, phosphates which are hazardous to human as well as environment. Disposal of such chemicals in atmosphere (water, land and air) leads to severe environmental, Social, economic and health consequences, some of the after effects of regular use of Cleaning products hazards are ocean acidification, water pollutions, landfills, allergy contact dermatitis, carcinogen, respiratory issues etc1. Almost all cleaning product industries are using plastic packaging which lead to terrestrial and aquatic plastic toxicity. Awareness of such dangerous chemicals and plastic packaging as time bomb which can blast anytime affecting humankind permanently is the starting point to reduce its effect on the upcoming generation. Hence Introduction of Safe, ecofriendly, nontoxic, natural products is the need of hour.

The BRI is a network of land and sea routes that crosses Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The "Road" refers to the Maritime Silk Road, which connects China's southern coast to Africa, the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia by sea. The "Belt" is the Silk Road Economic Belt, which connects China to Central Asia and Europe by land. To enable trade over the contemporary Silk Road, the program calls for the construction of ports, pipelines, bridges, electricity grids, and railroads. Despite the ambitious goals and potential benefits of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), there exist significant impacts and challenges that need to be addressed. These include concerns related to sovereignty, debt sustainability, geopolitical tensions, and the potential for unequal economic benefits among participating countries. This paper aims to analyse these diplomatic impacts and challenges in the context of China's BRI, shedding light on its implications for global trade dynamics and international relations. Furthermore, examining how other Western countries are responding with their infrastructure plans in the face of China's BRI adds a comparative perspective to this complex global phenomenon. The research methodology employed in this paper involves a comprehensive review and analysis of existing literature, including academic studies, policy papers, and media reports, to examine the diplomatic impacts and challenges associated with China's Belt and Road Initiative. By synthesizing insights from diverse sources, this study provides a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding the BRI and its implications for global trade and diplomacy.

technologies like cloud computing, blockchain, big data, and artificial intelligence, ushering in the era of FinTech (financial
technology). This transformation is occurring in established global markets and sometimes even more rapidly in emerging
and developing economies. Consequently, cybersecurity and technological risks have evolved into significant threats to both
financial stability and national security. Furthermore, the entry of prominent tech companies into the financial realm,
known as TechFins, introduces two novel concerns, the first pertains to the emergence of potentially systemically important
infrastructure, such as data and cloud service providers, the second revolves around the concentration of data, resembling
the finance sector, which possesses economies of scale and network effects, potentially leading to systemic risk through new
forms of "Too Big to Fail" and "Too Connected to Fail" scenarios. In conclusion, we propose fundamental principles for
monitoring and addressing these risks, with a specific focus on the role of regulatory technology (RegTech).

Seventy-five lawyers, aged 27-59, from Awka, Onitsha, and Nnewi, Anambra state, Nigeria, were divided into two groups: those who were given alcohol/ethanol and those who were given non-alcohol/ethanol. The experiment involved an independent group design with an audio recorder, red label brandy, La Casera soft drink, and a poem CD. Participants were expected to listen, memorise, and recall keywords. The Z-test was used for analysis, and results showed no significant impact of alcohol/ethanol on immediate recall of meaningful materials between alcohol/ethanol Lawyer consumers. The study found no significant impact of alcohol/ethanol on delayed recall of meaningful materials, immediate recall, or delayed recall across lawyers' genders. However, there was a significant difference in the extent of delayed recall outcomes across lawyers' genders. The study recommends installing alcohol detectors in all courtrooms to eliminate its influence on judiciary deliberations.

Specifically, the study examined the extent of the relationship between innovative intelligence and cost leadership, the nature of correlation between market intelligence and growth; and the relationship between strategic intelligence and adaptability. The study used both primary and secondary data. The target population for the study was 122 members of staff from INNOSON Technical and Industrial Company Limited, based in Enugu State, Nigeria. Data was collected from 104 purposively selected staff of INNOSON and analyzed using regression analysis with the aid of SPSS 23.0. The results indicate that innovative intelligence, marketing intelligence, and strategic intelligence had a significant and positive correlation with organizational performance, through their connections with cost leadership, growth and adaptability, respectively. From the results, the study concludes that competitive intelligence is a key driver of performance in the automotive industry. Based on the findings and conclusion, it was recommended that organizations should develop a culture of innovation through adequate investment in research and development as well as rewarding creative and intelligent employees; this will consequently arm the organization with cost leadership. Forward-thinking organizations that seek growth must develop a robust system of collecting and analyzing data from their market, and the information gathered must be used in the decision-making processes of the organization especially as it affects strategy formulation and implementation.

Mathematics anxiety is one such factor that has an impact on students' performance. This specific factor has been shown to have the greatest impact on mathematical performance. Several studies have been conducted to explore the link between mathematics anxiety and performance, with varied results. Some claim that greater levels of mathematics anxiety result in poorer mathematics scores because pupils are unable to focus on anything math-related (Altakhyneh, 2020). Others have argued that higher mathematics anxiety leads to higher mathematics scores (Paechter et al., 2017). Because of the disparities in the findings, numerous further studies have been conducted to explore the link between mathematical performance and anxiety. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between mathematics anxiety, social support, technology support and performance of grade 11 students from schools of public and private sectors in Imus, Dasmariñas, and Bacoor as motivated by their motivational beliefs. This study employed quantitative method for data analysis of the relationships. The study used evaluation tools developed by previous authors who investigated the same issue to measure mathematics anxiety, social support, technology support, and performance. Results from the data analysis show that all independent variables are shown to have a significant relationship with mathematics performance. The only peculiarity is that peer social support is not significant despite social support as a whole being a significant predictor for mathematics performance.

For many years, the Philippines have produced many engineering graduates; however, in recent years, roughly 50% successfully passed the board exams required for licensure as engineers. The challenge that many higher educational institutions face is making all their engineering programs' passing rates improve and surpass the national passing rate. This study intended to develop a mathematical model capable of forecasting the performance of BSCE and BSME graduates from a private higher educational institution in the Philippines in the licensure examination administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). The researcher implemented a descriptive correlational research design. The graduates' academic performance and enrollment in a review center were assessed through descriptive statistics, which includes means, standard deviations, frequency, and percentages. Academic performance includes grades in courses tested by PRC in BSCE and BSME licensure examinations, which include mathematics and engineering courses. It also involves grades in purposive communication and integration courses. Pearson moment correlations, and ETA, were applied in determining the correlation of variables. Moreover, the strongest predictors of the Licensure Exam Areas 1, 2, and 3 were determined using stepwise regression, and mathematical models were developed using multiple linear regression. Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) was used to assess the models' predictive power. The result of the research is intended to serve as a helpful guide and basis for the school in preparing students for the licensure examination and a credible input for the institution's curriculum enhancement.

The purpose is to identify emerging research themes that are of growing interest to scholars on sustainability with particular emphasis on management and public policy literature, and the methodology is three-pronged, comprising the following: a content analysis of sustainability scholarship, tracking of patterns and trends over a two-decade period to delineate specific findings, and an exploration of the learnings from the literature review. We have trained our focus largely on the disciplines of management and public policy. The attempt is to distinguish the ideas, the orientation, and the direction of sustainability research longitudinally over time. The paper presents several interesting learnings growing cross-disciplinary trends in sustainability research, the evolutionary nature of sustainability studies, the induction of emerging economies into sustainable development and its reflection in research studies, theorising and the development of frameworks, creation of knowledge and information hubs in industry and the episodic movement from precepts and principles; to protocols and policy; and to practice process, and performance. By suggesting a novel approach to perceiving and classifying sustainability research over time, presenting frameworks for theory building in this field of study, and proposing fruitful areas for future research, we contribute to the body of relevant literature.

Learning's from the first and second world war, sufferings of developing countries due to the colonization in the past. Social factors include; religion, equality, caste, gender sensitization, etc. and how different governments can play a vital role to maintain peace and as well as the role of corporate sector and NGO (Non-Government Organisation) working. Social media can also play a major role. Geographical factors, the role of developing and developed countries for underdeveloped countries. And also explains about natural resources and their distribution. In international efforts it discusses international peace day, the role of UN (United Nations) and its allies, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and peacekeeping force. International courts of justice and human rights commission and other regional agencies. International relations, terrorism are the key areas which will be explored for reasons for conflicts and for the possible solutions. Contribution of the education sector, tourism, and international trade will be analyzing for the promotion of values and peace. Present scenario in context of terror attacks and nuclear deals with reference to the incidents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, WTO (World Trade Organisation) attack and role of Islamic state will be key issues of discussion, Korea's nuclear tests, and relations of neighbouring countries states and what could be the joint efforts to tackle these issues. Introduction: The paper discusses the role of the social, geographical and political environment which could be responsible within and among the countries to maintain peace. The broad focus would be on the evolution of these factors and their impact on national and international peace. Peace and conflict constitute the core of the wide-ranging discipline of International Relations. "Global village" is a very prominent concept in this phase of globalization of human settlement on earth, peace becomes one of the bases on which the coexistence , growth, and development of humans as a species exist, most importantly to maintain the balance, natural as well as anthropogenic. The concept of peace has two dimensions namely, "Negative peace" and "Positive Peace". Negative Peace is minimal in nature with defining peace as the absence of large amounts of collective, organized violence between such major human groups as nations, as also between racial and ethnic groups because of the magnitude that can be reached by such conflicts. Absence of violence should not be confused with the absence of conflict; violence may occur without conflict, and conflict may be solved by means of non-violent mechanism. Positive Peace is deeper in nature and is known as a pattern of cooperation and integration between major human groups. These dimensions of peace give rise to fourfold classification 2 of relations between two nations: (1) Warlike relations: organised group violence; (2) negative peace relations: peaceful passive coexistence; (3) positive peace relations: cooperation interspersed with occasional outbreaks of violence; (4) unqualified peace: here absence of violence is combined with a pattern of cooperation. The dimensions of peace and its effect on relations evidently suggest the role social environment being predominant in nature, as we explore the social environment it is essential that we move in the direction of positive peace since negative peace is a condition sine qua non. These two dimensions being logically independent though empirically related provides for independent exploration of positive peace, which the authors want to explore with respect to the social, geographical and political environment as it would provide positive deviance to the reality of human behaviors.

This works in every market, v) The stock market index takes a certain number of representative stocks and indicates the price-weighted movement of those stocks with reference to a base year. So when the ‘market’ goes up, the prices of several scrips could also have gone up while the prices of others could have fallen too. Or it could be the other way round, vi) Derivatives are instruments that derive their value from underlying assets. This includes precious metals, commodities, interest rates, currencies, bonds, stocks and stock indices. vii) Insider trading is useful for possession of price-sensitive privileged information. It is important for trade and profit. The information is used to make private gains or avoid losses, viii) To be successful as an investor you need to understand just two things: a) What to buy and b) When to buy and when to sell. ‘What’ depends on your ability to do fundamental analysis and ‘when’ on your technical analysis skills, ix) Read the balance sheet of the company before investing in it. Ensure the company is not violating the fundamental rules of good finance management and not using short-term funds to acquire long-term assets. The current ratio is in the region of 2:1 and the liquidity ratio is at a minimum of 1:1, x) Do not be misled by the profit in absolute terms. Remember to look at the Earnings Per Share, xi) Do leverage analysis to understand the risk profile of the company before investing in it. High-risk investments can provide the highest returns. Learn to manage risks, xii) Understand the relevance of certain key investment and financial ratios and use them to anticipate future market prices and reach buying/selling decisions, xiii) A quick guide to fundamental analysis: First choose the industry which has promising prospects and then choose the company. To decide which scrip to purchase ensure, a) The sales graph is rising. b) The gross profit is rising at least at the same pace as the increase in sales, c) The net profit is rising at a faster percentage, d) The EPS is above the industry average, e) The PE ratio is below the industry average. xiv) Never buy in a rising market, never sell in a falling market. If you plot a graph of the price movement, you will be able to observe the trend. In a rising trend there will be intermittent downs and in a falling trend there will be periodic upswings. The trend is considered as rising if successive tops and bottoms are higher than earlier. The trend is considered as falling if each successive top and through is lower than the previous one, xv) When you invest, first decide the loss you are willing to bear. Thereafter, at each rise sell some holdings and at every fail, buy back, xvi) Use technical analysis to decide the timing of your trades. Buy at the second rise; sell on the second fall, xvii) Keep profits open-ended and put a stop-loss, not the reverse, as many investors do, xviii) Two phrases do not exist in the stock market lexicon: 1. Maximum profit. 2. Minimum loss. The time to make a profit or loss is NOW, xix) You must also remember that there is no place for monogamy in the stock market. ‘Flirt with many and marry several’ is the mantra for happiness here, xx) In the stock market, you must not be too risk-averse. If you want your investment to be absolutely safe, invest elsewhere. When you choose investments on grounds of safety rather than returns, safety is never guaranteed, but the mediocrity of returns is, xxi) Don’t spread your portfolio too thin. It should preferably have less than ten scrips.
