The aim of this study is to examine the effects of green organizational climate and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on organizational environmental performance and cost efficiency of organizations. To address the gap, a cross-sectional design was executed through convenience sampling from 355 professionals working in various sectors including Technology, Communication, Manufacturing, Banking & Finance, Education, Healthcare, Marketing, etc. in Turkey. To measure the variables of the study, scales previously used in literature and whose reliability and validity have been determined were used. All scale items were adapted by the researcher, and validity was confirmed by consulting experts. Additionally, the cost efficiency scale was created by the researcher based on previous international studies and validated by the university scholars working on those subjects. According to the statistical analysis, the findings indicated that both green climate and CSR was positively associated with organizational environmental performance and cost efficiency. It was seen that green climate and CSR significantly increased organizational environmental performance and cost efficiency. Taken together, this study contributes to the literature by (1) introducing the validated scales measuring the research variables, (2) empirically identifying the associates of green climate and CSR with cost efficiency, and (3) integrating multiple variables into a unified model of green climate and CSR in the various sectors. The findings of the study are discussed and addressed from a theoretical and practical perspective. Furthermore, suggestions for further studies are presented and the limitations of the study are mentioned.
: In the context of globalization and digital transformation, global citizenship education has become an essential objective of contemporary education systems. Simultaneously, the increasing emphasis on English as a second language in Vietnamese schools requires innovative pedagogical approaches that integrate language learning across disciplines. This study examines the role of English integration in Geography education in fostering global citizenship competencies among high school students in Vietnam. Drawing upon the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) framework and global competence theories proposed by UNESCO and OECD, the study explores how bilingual learning environments can enhance students’ intercultural communication, critical thinking, global awareness, and academic language proficiency. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including questionnaire surveys with 126 high school students and semi-structured interviews with 12 Geography teachers from three public high schools in northern Vietnam. The findings indicate that integrating English into Geography lessons increases students’ motivation, improves access to international learning resources, and supports the development of global perspectives. However, several challenges remain, including uneven English proficiency, limited bilingual teaching materials, and insufficient teacher training in CLIL pedagogy. The study suggests that effective integration requires institutional support, professional development programs, and the development of localized bilingual resources suitable for Vietnamese educational contexts. The findings contribute to current discussions on interdisciplinary education, global competence, and bilingual instruction in secondary education.
This article examines the representation of the female body, wandering, and suffering in The Garden of the Ogre and A Sweet Dream by Leïla Slimani. It highlights how the Parisian urban space becomes a site for the expression and intensification of the heroines’ psychological distress. Through the characters of Louise and Adèle, the study demonstrates that public space is not merely a background setting, but an active structure that contributes to the externalization of inner turmoil, bodily fragmentation, and the gradual dissolution of identity. Drawing on the works of Gaston Bachelard and contemporary approaches in the sociology of time and space, the article reveals the ambivalent role of public spaces: while they offer temporary relief from domestic confinement, they also function as spaces of marginalization and downfall. Female wandering thus appears as an attempt to spatialize time in order to control inner anxiety, while simultaneously exposing the impossibility of escaping a logic of disintegration and disappearance.
Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia. Various factors may contribute to the occurrence of stunting, including a history of infectious diseases and low birth weight (LBW). This study aimed to analyze the relationship between a history of infectious diseases and LBW with the incidence of stunting among toddlers. Methods: This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 72 toddlers were selected using a purposive sampling technique in the working area of the Southeast Pontianak Community Health Center, Pontianak District. Data were collected through interviews using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-square test. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between a history of infectious diseases and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.03; OR = 2.9; 95% CI: 1.05–8.165). Toddlers with a history of infectious diseases had a 2.9 times greater risk of experiencing stunting compared with those without such a history. However, no significant relationship was found between low birth weight and stunting (p = 0.78; OR = 1.2; 95% CI: 0.32–2.35). Conclusion: A history of infectious diseases is a significant factor associated with stunting among toddlers. Therefore, stunting prevention efforts should focus on controlling infectious diseases, improving environmental sanitation, and strengthening maternal and child health services.
