Mining and sustainable development in Sierra Leone : the role of the role of institutional quality
Massaquoi, Ibrahim (Central Mining Institute (Główny Instytut Górnictwa), 2026-05-28)
While mining can drive economic growth, create jobs, and promote infrastructural development, it also poses risks to the environment, human health, and social well-being. Therefore, to achieve sustainable development, responsible mining is crucial. This study empirically examines the role of institutional quality in the mining-sustainable devel- opment nexus in Sierra Leone. With the use of the planetary pressures-adjusted human development index (PHDI) as a comprehensive measure of sustainable development, the study is able to integrate economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model confirms the existence of both short-run and long-run dynamics. The results of the study show that the contribution of mining to sustainable development depends on institutional quality, as framed by the resource curse hypothesis and institutional theory. The results indicate that weak institutions worsen the adverse effect of mining on sustainable development in Sierra Leone. Policy reforms that strengthen institutions and promote economic diversification will help regulate mining and transform mineral rents into sustainable development. This study is an advancement of the discourse on mining and sustainable development amidst weak institutions with insights from a resource-dependent economy.
Multi-rater assessment in systematic reviews : a methodological innovation in forest higher education literature

Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) are essential for synthesizing evidence in forest higher education, yet the reliability of article selection often hinges on subjective expert judgment. As forest education evolves to meet global challenges, such as climate change, digitalization, and market dynamics, educators must navigate an overwhelming volume of literature to identify high-quality science that fosters critical thinking and holistic understanding. This study introduces the Many Facet Rasch Model (MFRM) as a methodological innovation for evaluating multi-rater assessments of the forest higher education literature, offering a transparent and replicable framework for evidence synthesis. Five experts, who served as raters, assessed ten articles using six calibrated criteria (originality, comprehensiveness of literature review, methodology, scientific value of findings, related issues with forest higher education, and quality of analysis). The results demonstrate that MFRM can identify psychometrically sound evaluations, rank article quality, and diagnose criteria, particularly in comprehensiveness of the literature review and difficulty, most notably in literature review comprehensiveness and methodological rigor. This research provides practical guidance for forest higher education practitioners seeking to select pedagogically valuable resources. By enhancing transparency and reproducibility in literature evaluation, MFRM strengthens forest higher education’s capacity to train future foresters with precision, integrity, and relevance.
Spiritual intelligence fosters green actions : the role of nature connectedness in shaping pro-environmental behavior
Muhamad Maulana; Alya Chairunnisa; Lakhaula Sahrotul Aulia (Marry Ann Liebert, 2026-05-07)
This study examines the relations among spiritual intelligence (SI), connectedness to nature (CN), and pro-environmental behavior (PEB) in a sample of 251 Indonesian university students. Employing a cross-sectional design, the study utilized a two-step analytical approach involving Rasch analysis to validate scale reliability and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the structural model. Rasch analysis confirmed the robustness of the SI, CN, and PEB instruments, continuing the transformation of raw data into logit scores. Descriptive and correlational results indicated moderate positive associations among the three constructs. PLS-SEM analysis revealed a positive relation between SI and PEB (β = 0.251, p < 0.001) and a strong relation between SI and CN (β = 0.576, p < 0.001). Additionally, CN was positively related to PEB (β = 0.280, p < 0.001). The mediation analysis also indicated that CN partially mediates the relation between SI and PEB, suggesting that SI relates to green action through heightened ecological connectedness. The model explained a moderate level of variance (R2 = 0.332 for CN; R2 = 0.222 for PEB) with adequate predictive relevance. Theoretically, this study integrates SI into environmental psychology literature. Practically, the findings emphasize the role of spiritual reflection and nature connectedness in fostering sustainable behaviors among Indonesian youth.
Between promise and peril : blue economy development and maritime security in Africa - a critical review
Ahmed, Issa; Jibril, Abubakar Muhammad; Machibya, Lukuba; Saidyjeng, Lamin; Jallow, Alkali; Pio, Peseo Lao (Sakura Digital Nusantara, 2026-05-09)
Purpose – This paper examines the relationship between blue economy development, maritime security, and governance in Africa, with a focus on the Gulf of Guinea and the Horn of Africa. It highlights how maritime insecurity affects key sectors such as fisheries, maritime transport, offshore energy, and coastal tourism. Design/methodology/approach – The study applies a comparative regional approach using peer-reviewed literature and policy reports published between 2000–2025. The analysis focuses on issues of piracy, maritime terrorism, smuggling, and trafficking, as well as governance responses in Africa’s major maritime regions. Findings/Results – The findings indicate that maritime insecurity creates significant economic and social costs for blue economy sectors through higher risks, disrupted trade routes, and livelihood instability. Although regional cooperation and maritime governance frameworks have expanded, their effectiveness is limited by legal fragmentation, unequal institutional capacity, and weak maritime monitoring systems. In addition, factors such as IUU fishing, youth unemployment, coastal marginalization, and state fragility continue to drive insecurity. Originality/Value – The study concludes that sustainable blue economy development depends on integrated governance that combines maritime security, legal reform, and development policy. The paper emphasizes that maritime security should not only be understood as an enforcement issue, but also as a governance and human security challenge linked to broader socio-economic conditions.
Traditional Islamic education, modern Western schooling and the urban Muslim identity : navigating the past and present
Mustafa, Saira; Ali, Mohsin (Multitech Publisher, 2025-11-24)
This research tries to present Islamic and modern education in integrated methods with special reference to maintaining Islamic values in contemporary learning. In earlier times, the institution of Islamic education took place with great fervour at Al-Azhar, Darul Uloom, among other great educational centers. The colonizing process, along with the tides of globalization, however, destroyed the traditions. Examples of how religious and secular curricula have been balanced in countries studied include Malaysia's International Islamic University and Imam Hatip schools in Turkey. This sort of integrated education may help build robust identities that balance belief with vocational expectations. Yet the different sources of finance, societal perceptions, and curriculum development particularly in the diaspora and western environments remain some of the biggest challenges that must be brought into policy, education provision and community engagement together. The underlying message of this research is that integrating Islamic values into mainstream contemporary knowledge and practice will equip students with the skills needed to face a global world without losing their religious identity. The integrated education thus plays a significant role in the dialogue between cultures and in the continuity of Islamic values, proving its validity within an ever-changing world.
