Abstract This study aimed to develop and search for content validity evidences of an anxiety measure athletes. An international literature review on the construct was carried out construction 128 self-report items. The procedures judge semantic analysis were made after elaboration instrument. judges obtained 80.94% agreement kappa indicated significant substantial agreement. By observing each d...

The multiple crises of unsustainability are provoking increasing stress and unpleasant emotions among students. If higher education is to fulfill its mission support transformation processes toward sustainable development, it must adapt pedagogical approaches help students deepen their critical thinking empower them engage in these processes. For this reason, – which can also prevent should be ...

China has experienced a large increase in its foreign exchange reserves since 2001, due to a continuous in‡ow of capital and the commitment to maintain a …xed rate against the dollar initially and then a crawling peg exchange rate regime. Among other things, the accumulation of foreign assets has an expansionary monetary e¤ect and poses a challenge for domestic macroeconomic management. As a re...

Growing scientific evidence for the indispensable role of environmental sustainability in sustainable development calls for appropriate frameworks and indicators for environmental sustainability assessment (ESA). In this paper, we operationalize and update the footprint-boundary ESA framework, with a particular focus on its methodological and application extensions to the national level. By usi...

This paper addresses empirically whether institutions and politics play a role in the genesis of current account reversals. It also identifies which political factors matter and the importance of their influence. In a binary outcome model, it finds that (1) institutional checks –when interacting with the ratio of the net international reserves to GDP-, (2) election frauds and intimidation to ca...

We construct a hybrid, economic indicator of the sustainability of global well-being, which is more inclusive than existing indicators and incorporates an environmentally pessimistic, physical constraint on global warming. Our methodology extends the World Bank’s Adjusted Net Saving (ANS) indicator to include the cost of population growth, the benefit of technical progress, and a much higher, p...

The key aspects of landfill operation that remain unresolved are the extended timescale and uncertain funding of the post-closure period. This paper reviews the topic and proposes an economic instrument to resolve the unsustainable nature of the current situation. Unsustainability arises from the sluggish degradation of organic material and also the slow flushing of potential pollutants that is...

This paper examines the sustainability of charcoal production that maximizes social welfare based on optimal control techniques visa-vis activities profit maximizing producing firms in South Sahara Africa. I set up a theoretical model involving socially will maximize discounted sum net benefit Charcoal for both private maximization firm and which yield sustainability. After solving choices func...

Slack is a resource held by firm but exceeds its needs. It crucial for to raise more attention on slack when facing environmental shocks, which are one of the causes unsustainability. Based agency theory and behavioral theory, this paper analyzes buffer effect market performance under different periods degrees shocks. Taking two major earthquakes that occurred in China as natural experimental b...

Waste production, carbon dioxide atmospheric accumulation, and dependence on finite natural resources are expressions of the unsustainability current industrial networks that supply fuels, energy, manufacturing products. In particular, circular chains control urgently needed. To model design these and, in general, any material networks, we propose to generalize approach used for traditional suc...
