Title: Structural Relation amongst Components of Container Management, Effectiveness of Container Management and Supply Chain Management

Abstract: The present study elucidates that significant difference exists amongst profile of respondents and container management. Time of schedule, strategic leadership, cost control and vessel capacities have positive and significant influence on supply chain management. In addition, cost control, vessel capacity, time of schedule and strategic leadership have significant, positive and direct influence on effectiveness of container management, while, effectiveness of container management has significant, positive and direct influence on supply chain management. Therefore, all the hypotheses are supported by the findings of the present study. Therefore, it is essential to develop a model capable of predicting the time of arrival for vessels, providing terminal planners with accurate information to facilitate optimal berth planning and the owners of containers must improve container operations by implementing integrated operations, optimizing system dynamics, utilizing information sharing systems, and deploying advanced technology and process optimization. Integrated operations of separate container can lead to reduced vessel waiting time, balanced utilization across terminals, and increased overall profits. The owners of containers should improve capacity utilization of their containers and they must build dense packs outside of the confines of a container and load/unload in a single shot and use machinery with smart technology to load as closely to the container walls as possible and also use optimization techniques. Besides, the owners of containers should charge rationally for their services on par with market and they must avoid extra or additional cost for maintaining their competitiveness and margins in profit. The owner of containers should concentrate on networking that has to be executed immediately and it will help to balance demand and supply and allocate various tasks to employees in the cost effective ways. The vessel capacity must be increased or fully utilized by means of switching to floor loading and packing containers without pallets. Furthermore, the owners of containers must effectively collaborate with supply chain partners that will improve their business operations.

Title: Econometrics Paraphernalia, Big Data for G-20 Countries to Uplift through Scientific Analysis: A Conceptual View on Data Analytics

Abstract: The study tried to analyses whether econometric tools and big data for G20 countries and beyond upliftment can be used for scientific analysis for sustainability so that in real life, theory can be attained and better utilization for benefits of G20 leadership by India through using appropriate data analytics. This may help to take suitable decision rapidly. As such research question is whether econometric tools and big data can be used for sustainability through scientific analysis in field of reality for the betterment of G-20 countries and also other countries of the earth irrespective of developed and underdeveloped countries? The study is mainly done based on conceptual view. Time period of the study is from January, 2023 to April, 2023.The study found that with caution econometrics tools and big data must be used for perspectives of macro and micro-scenario while big data can be used for larger volume of data right direction to the policy makers and appropriate leadership. Author suggested that econometrics tools should be used with appropriate carefulness so that spurious relationship cannot be disseminated rather if necessary qualitative judgment needs to be discussed to give clear cut picture of the estimated results based on the reality. Big Data analysis can help G-20 countries by acting a serious part in navigation the international economy over the noteworthy trials the situation expressions as commented by the author. Data analytics are progressively getting more positioning for enchanting rapid choice of the global, regional, domestic trade and business, financial, health, education sector, agricultural sector etc. Big data is nowadays in performance can carry vital role for large volumes of data which may be tested to assess the impact of G20 into diversified countries of the globe to attain sustainability.

Title: Sustainable Agriculture in India: Issues and Challenges Ahead

Abstract: In India, agriculture sector contributes about 20.02% of the country’s GDP (2020-21). Much diversity is found in Indian agriculture such as cropping, climate, irrigation pattern etc. There are many opportunities to take advantages of these diversities to meet the sustainable needs of the population. Sustainable agriculture is the way of farming according to location specific ecosystem and study of relationships between the organism and their environment. The Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG) model adopted in 1991 has adversely affected the agriculture in India. The viability of the agriculture should be enhanced which could significantly improve the growth prospects of the economy. The agricultural production in India is also adversely affected by the climate change due to global warming. India has attained self-reliance in food grains production but the future demand for food grain and raw material will not be satisfied from the current agriculture production. Increased demand and low production will create the burden on the agricultural production and will give rise to food inflation in India. The agricultural productivity and the income of the small and marginal farmers have declined. These problems can be overcome with the help of sustainable agricultural development.

Title: Nigeria’s Foreign Policy, A Possible Panacea to Fighting Domestic Terrorism

Abstract: This study examined Nigeria’s foreign policy vis-à-vis the fight against domestic terrorism in Nigeria, in order to ascertain whether Nigeria’s foreign policy was able to assist in the fight against domestic terrorism in Nigeria within the period of the study. The study is guided by a research question such as: Does the use of land border closure technique contribute in reducing smuggling of small arms and light weapons (SALWs) proliferation in Nigeria? The study adopted Neo-functionalism theory of integration as its analytical framework understanding the discourse on how Nigeria’s foreign policy was able to assist in the fight against domestic terrorism in Nigeria. Therefore, we stated our hypothesis that: the use of land borders closure technique contributed in reducing smuggling small arm and light weapons (SALW) proliferation in Nigeria, which often stimulate terrorism in Nigeria. The research also utilized the documentary method for collecting data and employed content analysis to analyze information derived from secondary sources. Finally, we recommended amongst other things, that there should be observation and implementation of land borders closure technique into Nigeria’s foreign policy as a legal framework of curtailing smuggling of small arms and light weapons (SALWs) in the country.
