At the dawn of a new European Green Deal (EGD), it is necessary to reconsider the plans and actions that have characterized the European energy policies during recent decades by tuning and updating the priorities and targets. The present work moves from the systematic review of the documents, laws, and scientific studies concerning energy and climate initiatives to the analysis of the role of the Strategic Energy and Technology Plan (SET Plan) in the energy transition. Thus, the principal research question addresses the influence of the SET Plan on multi-level energy policies. To answer this, firstly, the juridical framework in which the SET Plan was instituted is provided; secondly, its correlation to the upcoming EDG is described and the targets identified by each Implementation Working Group (IWG) are discussed. Such a dissertation is followed by the investigation of the activities at various levels from the IWG on Renewable Fuels and Bioenergy. The study has confirmed that the SET Plan contributed to shaping the energy and climate policy at European, national, and regional levels by implementing synergies among different levels of governance, different sectors, and various stakeholders (both public and private). Furthermore, it eased the sharing of data on flagship projects by periodically monitoring the achieved results.

AbstractIn this study, the effect of ethical leadership on extra-role service behavior, and the role of person–organization fit and organizational trust on this effect were examined. A multi-level research model was established in the research and hypotheses were tested within this model. The data of this research study were obtained from 205 workers of two hospitals (public and private), in a certain province in Turkey. The obtained findings demonstrated that ethical leadership strengthened the trust in the organization both directly and over person–organization fit. Moreover, based on the findings, it was determined that ethical leadership increased extra-role service behavior by means of organizational trust. The theoretical and practical implications of all of the findings were discussed and evaluated in the context of national culture.

Our experience as teachers of a public university with multi-level classes with students of different levels of English knowledge, abilities or backgrounds; where educators must face the challenge of multi-level classrooms, such as finding the appropriate teaching strategy, resources and materials; showed that it was necessary to explore the benefits of Cooperative Learning as a way to transform the multi-level class from a challenge into an advantage. In the present paper, the role of Cooperative Learning as an effective tool to teach reading in an EFL multi-level class is investigated. The following literature review attempts to demonstrate this theory and hopes that the information gathered from this study would assist educational authorities to review the curriculum with the aim of incorporating reading comprehension cooperative learning strategies in multilevel classes.

Crime Prediction

As common in all societies and nations, crime is considered a heinous act that deserves punishment and condemnation from society. According to recent reports, a significant increase in the crime rate has been observed in recent years, which requires serious action in order to limit the spread of crime and maintain public security and safety. Whereas, this role of fighting crime does not only concern the competent authorities such as the police and security authorities. Rather, everyone, as a whole, must act to limit the effects of crime and restrict its spread, each according to his/her role and field of work. We should all stand together to exploit our specialization fields for combating and limiting the spread of crime. As no nation or society can get an evidence, progress or development of value with the increasing of the criminal rate. Where it is incumbent on the community to unite and cooperate in order to detect the crime, each of them according to the role assigned to and then the relevant authorities take the necessary measures and decisions regarding this case. In order to achieve this goal, as specialists in communications and informatics, our research question focuses on "What measures do we need in order to eliminate/reduce the criminal rate to a minimum?". In this study, we have focused on making the most of the applications of this IoT technology, by focusing on the human community in general. In addition to health care, personal life and public and private property. The CPS, which we propose through this study, provides an architecture of realistic model that has not been addressed before, and its contribution to enhancing security and public safety as it will be presented in this study.

Abstract This article examines the role of financial capital in the cocoa industry of Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. It argues that the processes of structural adjustment in the 1980s and 1990s brought two important elements into play. Firstly, transnational corporations taking advantage of the opening of global markets to gain control over the cocoa sector, and secondly, financial institutions promoting ‘country platforms’ that encouraged public–private partnerships to mobilize foreign investments and define development objectives. This has led to a distinct pattern of investment, which is intimately connected with governance reforms underpinned by a diverse set of public and private alliances at different levels. The article traces these alliances which have given rise to community development programmes. However, these programmes are underpinned by a drive towards greater intensification of production through the use of inputs supported by credit, which threatens to entangle farmers in debt and lock them into the poverty inherent in the cocoa industry.

Inherent Part

A federal economy is usually characterised by the emergence of imbalances between functional responsibilities and financial resources of different tiers of government. Vertical imbalances in terms of resources and expenditure responsibilities emerge between different levels of government calling for transfer of resources from the Centre to the States. Thus, intergovernmental transfers are an inherent part of a multi-level fiscal system. In India, Finance Commission constitutes an important channel of Central transfers to the states. This paper looks at the role of Finance Commission regarding the devolution of taxes between the Center and the States from the divisible pool. In particular, the paper focuses on the Fourteenth Finance Commission FFC that has made far-reaching changes in tax devolution that will move the country towards greater cooperative as well as competitive federalism.

This article examines Germany’s current climate and energy policies. Nearly two decades on, Germany’s Energiewende—the transition to a less carbonintensive economy—is at a crossroads. While remarkable advances have been made, the technical difficulties of expanding the energy transition beyond the electricity sector, the mounting costs of the transition itself, and now the covid-19 pandemic are slowing further progress. Maintaining the momentum of the Energiewende would require collaborative action, yet the principal political players have different agendas, making it difficult to reach decisions. In this article, we consider three of those actors: the German public, the opposition parties, and the government. We find that agreements on German climate policy have been diluted in political compromises and that real progress is being blocked. These problems will only increase as Germany deals with the consequences of the pandemic and faces a transition in national leadership in 2021.

Developing countries have been facing more challenges to sustainability than the developed countries. This chapter evaluates the current sustainable education practices among the universities in Bangladesh and proposes a revised multi-level framework to enhance sustainability education practices among the universities. Based on the opinion of the staff and students of the top 10 public and private universities (according to the University Grant Commission report 2018) in Bangladesh, the study found evidence of the inclusion of sustainability issues onto the faculty's mission and vision statements, but very few are incorporated into the program curricula. In addition, dearth of sustainability training to the teachers provokes their failure of providing education for sustainable development. Considering the findings, this chapter proposes the importance and role of regulatory authorities teachers, students, professionals, and corporate people enhancing sustainable education practices at the university level.
