Climate change, desertification, and rapid urbanization are driving an increase in the frequency and severity of sandstorms in the Middle East, making an important contribution to atmospheric particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and posing threats to public and occupational health. This paper reviews evidence from peer-reviewed articles, policy reports, and health databases on the health impacts of sandstorm-associated pollution and the effectiveness of interventions to reduce them. The focus is on respiratory, cardiovascular, and psychosocial health outcomes, and current strategies are assessed, including early-warning systems, personal protective equipment (PPE), and occupational safety and health (OSH) frameworks. Results show consistent associations between sandstorm events and increased rates of hospital admissions, occupational injuries, and lost productivity, with a particular impact on outdoor workers and at-risk populations. Nevertheless, regional responses to the health risks of sandstorms are inconsistent and often fragmented, with low levels of public awareness and preparedness, sporadic use of PPE, and weak enforcement of OSH standards. Recommendations for research and practice are provided to inform more integrated, cross-sectorial approaches to reduce health risks and build resilience to sandstorms in affected regions.

This study investigates the impact of Liquidity Ratio (LR) and Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) on the Earnings Per Share (EPS) of quoted Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria from 2015 to 2024. Liquidity management plays a critical role in ensuring financial stability and profitability, especially in developing economies like Nigeria. The study employs a Panel EGLS (Cross-section weights) regression model to analyze the relationship between liquidity indicators and financial performance. The findings reveal a positive relationship between both liquidity ratios and EPS. Specifically, CRR demonstrates a stronger positive correlation with EPS, suggesting that higher reserve requirements contribute more directly to profitability than liquidity ratios alone. Although LR is positively associated with EPS, its effect is moderate, indicating that liquidity management plays a role in ensuring operational stability but may not significantly impact profitability in the same way as reserve management. This research highlights that while liquidity ratios and reserves are essential for financial performance, excessive liquidity or high reserves may limit banks' ability to generate income. The study recommends that policymakers introduce more flexible CRR policies and that banks optimize liquidity management to balance financial stability with profitable investments. The findings suggest that a balanced approach to liquidity and reserve management is necessary to ensure sustainable growth and improved financial performance in Nigerian DMBs. Further research is needed to examine the long-term effects of liquidity management under varying economic conditions.

Immigration and entrepreneurship are deeply intertwined. Across the United States, Canada, Europe, and other regions, immigrant founders and high-skilled workers contribute disproportionately to new firm creation, innovation, and economic dynamism. Visa programs and related immigration pathways are therefore more than administrative tools: they act as policy levers that shape entrepreneurial ecosystems. This review synthesizes the evidence on how key visa programs—including the U.S. H-1B specialty occupation visa, the International Entrepreneur Rule (IER), the EB-5 immigrant investor visa, Canada’s Start-Up Visa, the EU Blue Card, and selected national startup-visa schemes (e.g., UK Innovator Founder, Estonia Startup Visa)—affect entrepreneurial activity. We expand beyond descriptive accounts by comparing program design, examining empirical evaluations, and analyzing how these mechanisms influence firm creation, financing, job growth, and innovation. Our findings suggest that while employment-based visas (H-1B, EU Blue Card) primarily raise innovation capacity through skilled labor inflows, startup-specific visas succeed when linked with clear founder eligibility, stable residency status, and strong ecosystem support. Investor-based visas (EB-5) primarily facilitate capital formation rather than direct entrepreneurial entry. We conclude by identifying research gaps and proposing design principles for immigration regimes that intend to maximize entrepreneurship outcomes.

This research investigates the critical intersection of ethics, gender, and development, aiming to understand how ethically grounded, gender-sensitive approaches can lead to more just and sustainable development outcomes. Despite decades of global development efforts, many projects have historically neglected ethical principles and gender equality, resulting in limited impact, unintended harm, and the reinforcement of patriarchal structures. There remains a lack of cohesive frameworks that fully integrate feminist ethics and core ethical principles into mainstream development planning and evaluation. The study employs a critical literature review methodology, analyzing peer-reviewed academic journals, policy reports from international development organizations, and key theoretical texts. It is grounded in feminist theory, the capability approach, and global frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 5 on gender equality. The research identifies that development projects lacking ethical grounding often exacerbate existing inequalities. A feminist ethic, especially one rooted in care and justice, is shown to be instrumental in addressing systemic gender-based disparities. Furthermore, gender-sensitive projects that integrate ethical frameworks demonstrate more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable outcomes. However, there is a persistent challenge in effectively measuring long-term impacts on gender equality and sustainability. Embedding ethical principles and feminist perspectives into development is not optional it is essential for achieving meaningful, transformative change. This study concludes that ethically guided, gender-responsive development can empower marginalized groups, particularly women, and foster inclusive social and environmental progress. It calls for robust accountability mechanisms, participatory evaluation tools, and continued advocacy to ensure development efforts do not perpetuate injustice but rather dismantle it.
