not a dominant theme in their government policies or mainstream culture. For instance, one of the sustainable development principles states that renewable resource utilization rates must be lower than their regeneration rates. Despite this, a number of communities are considering, or already have in place, "disposable" practices. Disposable food wrappers, utensils, beverage cans, plates, etc. are seen frequently and on an everyday basis by many. These one-time use-and-throw articles are dumped in water bodies, buried, or incinerated (Scott and Gough, 2003). Such a culture consumes resources like fossil fuels and trees more swiftly than it is able to replace them. As sustainable development principles aren't, at… Continue Reading...

The sample of the study includes the indicators that substantiate the sustainable development goals that relate to energy. The types of data that are collected encompass the rules for the goals. These goals are detailed by significant sustainability rules creating the fundamental component of the concept. They define least possible requirements for sustainable development in terms of a welfare base that requires to be guaranteed for all individuals of present-day and forthcoming generations. In this study, a set of instrumental rules was well-defined addressing the economic, political and institutional framework circumstances to accomplish the considerable rules (Rosch et al., 2017).

is an ideology and ethical morality. It has an understanding of the sustainable development and harmonious co-operation among people. It also acknowledges sustainable growth and compatible co-existence between nature and society and between nature and people, signaling the growth of human civilization (UNEP, 2016). The original clear-cut use of the concept of ecological civilization originated from the book ‘Ecological Democracy’ written by Roy Morrison wherein the author argued that: “an ecological civilization would be based on three support systems such as harmony, balance, and democracy” (Heurtebise, 2017). This notion of ecological civilization reinforces and intensifies the sustainable development theory, creating strong practices… Continue Reading...

This article is helpful for positioning Boko Haram in terms of globalized Islamic terrorism. The author shows how Boko Haram's 2009 uprising "set a precedent," and showed how a specifically Nigerian brand of Islamic fundamentalism was competing with secular Nigerian institutions. Economic disenfranchisement, "party politics and politics of anxiety," and desperate politicians have fomented the anti-government sentiments among northern Nigerians, and Islamic leaders have remained relatively "ambivalent" to the group (p. 1).

obtaining accurate and efficacious cost for precluding cost misrepresentation that may give rise to sustainable development and growth. Activity-based costing (ABC) was established and has been promoted as an approach of overcoming the systematic falsifications of traditional cost accounting and bringing significance back to managerial accounting. In particular, a traditional costing system reports the amount of money that is spent and by who, but its shortcomings lie in the fact that it does not report the cost of activities and processes (Mahal and Hossain, 2015). ABC systems attain product costs that are more precise in comparison to those reported through the use of multiple… Continue Reading...
of these three technologies among the general public, IBHS (2014).
As the vision for the Sustainable Development Goal 2030 draws nearer and every industry and nation is working hard to meet up with the actualizations of the set goals, it is imperative that the USFA follow suit. Improvement on cloud-based technology that will enhance organizational management and provides efficiencies with automated communications and use of drones and Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) that will aid quick response to distress calls during fire incidents need to be embraced. Avsec (2017). However, the technologies will not be fully effective without the consideration for human factors that will aid… Continue Reading...
