High Chance

The World report on vision in 2019 found it difficult to evaluate VISION 2020’s impact on childhood blindness and VI since data on prevalence and causes were scarce. Considering the high chance of the global initiative missing its desired goal in children, we recommend that a sustainable version of it be launched soon. Central to this new initiative shall be better data collection on prevalence and causes of childhood blindness and VI, eye care provision and an updated and uniform system of reporting. Complete and updated data can better reflect the burden and monitor the impact of interventions. However, data collection will continue to be difficult due to the COVID-19 pandemic so the initial phase shall be tailored to the current situation.

The Impact

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the impact of green finance (i.e. green investment, green security and green credit) along with capital formation and government educational expenditures on the economic development of (ASEAN) countries.Design/methodology/approachThe data were gathered from the central banks of all ASEAN countries and the World Bank Indicators between 2008 and 2019. The fixed-effect model and generalized method of moments were used to check the nexus between the constructs.FindingsThe results revealed that green finance along with capital formation and government educational expenditures have a positive association with the economic development of ASEAN countries.Research limitations/implicationsThe study carries some limitations, even though it addresses the underlying variables comprehensively. These limitations provide opportunities to future researchers and authors to expand the scope and accuracy of their study. This research investigation has been supported by the data collected from a single source. Though data collection is maintained correctly, it is still recommended to the upcoming scholars to acquire data to reconfirm the same findings using multiple data sources. The data collected from using some specific data source may be limited in scope and may hinder the comprehensive elaboration of the underlying variables and their mutual relationship. Therefore, the utilization of multiple sources of data collection gives data sufficient to meet the requirement of an okay quality research study. The study is about the economies of ASEAN countries. It checks the influences of green finance development on economic activities and the country's economic growth in ASEAN countries' economies. Thus, its results are valid only in the economies of these countries, and this research investigation lacks generalizability. For generalizability, the authors must consider the underlying variables in the world's vast economies. They must adopt a standard scale to judge the impacts of green financial development on economic development. Besides, the study analyzes the economic factors, economic conditions and their effects on the country's position in the world economy in the face of a severe epidemic like COVID-19. Thus, the results may be different in the case of the normal situation. So, a general standardized study is recommended to be conducted in the upcoming days.Originality/valueGreen finance has significant capability to improve the global economy, especially amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is beneficial for policymakers to develop policies related to economic development with reference to green finance and also helps future research on a similar topic.

Global Initiative

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) global initiative for the elimination of avoidable blindness by the year 2020 (Thylefors et al., 1995) has prioritized the control of childhood blindness. Currently cataract remains one of the most important causes of treatable blindness in children (Giles et al., 2016).In Nepal, as in other developing countries, cataract is believed to be a leading cause of blindness in children. According to The Nepal Blindness Survey from 1978 to 1980, congenital cataract accounted for 16.3% of blindness detected in children under the age of 15 years (Brilliant et al., 1985). Epidemiology of Blindness in Nepal 2012 survey has suggested that the prevalence of childhood blindness has reduced from 0.68% in 1981 to 0.4% in 2011 (Sapkota, 2012).

The Impact

Abstract. Instrument platforms the world over often rely on GPS or similar satellite constellations for accurate timekeeping and synchronization. This reliance can create problems when the timekeeping counter aboard a satellite overflows and begins a new epoch. Due to the rarity of these events (19.6 years for GPS), software designers may be unaware of such circumstance or may choose to ignore it for development complexity considerations. Although it is impossible to predict every fault that may occur in a complicated system, there are a few “best practices” that can allow for graceful fault recovery and restorative action. These guiding principles are especially pertinent for instrument platforms operating in space or in remote locations like Antarctica, where restorative maintenance is both difficult and expensive. In this work, we describe how these principles apply to a communications failure on autonomous adaptive low-power instrument platforms (AAL-PIP) deployed in Antarctica. In particular, we describe how code execution patterns were subtly altered after the GPS week number rollover of April 2019, how this led to Iridium satellite communications and data collection failures, and how communications and data collection were ultimately restored. Finally, we offer some core tenets of instrument platform design as guidance for future development.

The results show that Indonesia is in the second position as the largest country in the world that contributes waste to the sea. This plastic waste is one of the biggest polluters in the sea which can be a serious threat to marine ecosystems. One of the right treatments is the plastic bag diet. This certainly raises various perceptions among the community as an effort to save the environment. This study aims to determine the perceptions of UIN Walisongo Semarang students on the plastic diet program as an effort to save marine ecosystems. This study used a qualitative descriptive research method, with a data collection instrument in the form of a questionnaire. Based on the research that has been done, the 193 samples obtained indicate that the perception of UIN Walisongo students towards the plastic diet as an effort to save marine ecosystems is very positive and supports this movement. This is evidenced by the knowledge of students about the use of plastics and its dangers, the impact of plastic on marine ecosystems and about the plastic diet program.
