Item Metadata only Global governance and security challenges: transnational pathways to reducing terrorism mortality in a globalized world(2025-12-01) Islam S.; Roshid M.M.; Bhowmik R.C.; Dhar B.K.; Islam M.S.; Raihan A.; Akter F.; Islam S.; Mahidol UniversityThis study investigates the transnational drivers of terrorism mortality through the lens of global governance, focusing on countries most affected by terrorism during the study period (1995–2023), identified dynamically using Global Terrorism Index rankings across multiple years rather than a single static list. Using the Cross-Sectional Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) model, it analyzes how key governance variables—political stability, regional conflict, human development, militarization, liberal democracy, and political corruption—influence terrorism-related deaths across interconnected regions. The analysis accounts for cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity, and additionally incorporates country and year fixed effects in robustness checks to mitigate omitted variable bias and capture unobserved heterogeneity across space and time. Findings reveal that governance factors traditionally considered strengths, such as political stability, human development, and democracy, may inadvertently escalate terrorism mortality when poorly aligned with regional security dynamics. Conversely, militarization and corruption exhibit paradoxical effects, while regional conflict presents unexpected negative associations. The study uncovers several counterintuitive governance effects, reinforcing the need for caution in interpreting long-run elasticities and highlighting the importance of future research into potential nonlinearities and omitted variable influences. This study uniquely contributes to the global governance literature by offering a transnational econometric framework to understand terrorism mortality within a sustainable development context. It concludes with policy insights calling for internationally coordinated governance strategies that reinforce institutional resilience and promote SDG 16 objectives through inclusive, development-oriented security reforms.Item Metadata only Advancing Learners’ Islamic Knowledge through a Parenting Education Module(2022-01-01) Kosim M.; Nasution I.; Anidar J.; Kustati M.; Ritonga M.; Perrodin D.D.; Mahidol UniversityParenting activities have been conducted in junior high schools in the city of Padang and the Solok Regency in West Sumatra, Indonesia, with the goal to increase the involvement of parents in educating teenagers in accordance with Islamic teachings....

As carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions continue to escalate—particularly in emerging economies—identifying effective policy and technological pathways for emissions reduction is essential. This study investigates how economic growth, governance mechanisms, and technological advancement influence environmental sustainability in Mexico during the period 1980–2023. Mexico, a key emerging economy with ambitious climate goals, serves as a critical case for exploring these dynamics. Using annual time series data, the study employs the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing method, supported by robustness checks using fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS), dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS), and canonical cointegration regression (CCR) techniques. The findings reveal that fiscal decentralization and economic growth significantly contribute to environmental degradation, while renewable energy consumption and globalization are associated with reductions in CO2 emissions. Although ICT expansion holds long-term efficiency potential, it currently exacerbates emissions due to its dependence on fossil-fuel-based infrastructure. These results underscore the complex trade-offs involved in aligning fiscal, technological, and energy policies with sustainability goals. The study concludes with clear policy recommendations: Mexico should reform its fiscal decentralization frameworks, invest in renewable-powered ICT infrastructure, and accelerate clean energy development to fulfill its climate commitments. The findings offer actionable insights to guide low-carbon transitions in emerging economies.Publication Metadata only The emergence of business-to-consumer e-commerce: New niche formation, creative destruction, and contingency perspectives(2009-01-01) Chanchai Tangpong; Muhammad Islam; Nongkran Lertpittayapoom; North Dakota State University; Mahidol UniversityThis study examines the emergence of business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce from new niche formation, creative destruction, and contingency perspectives. Based on multiretail-sector data, this study supports the contingency perspective. The findings suggest that in digitally related sectors, B2C e-commerce has emerged through a creative destruction process whereby B2C e-commerce expands at the expense of traditional retailing; thus, addressing the e-commerce trend becomes traditional firms' strategic imperative. Conversely, in digitally unrelated sectors, B2C e-commerce has emerged through a new niche formation process whereby B2C e-commerce coexists with traditional retailing; thus, embracing the e-commerce trend becomes the traditional firms' strategic choice. © 2009 Baker College.Item Metadata only Leveraging Green Capabilities and Digital Accounting Under ESG Pressure: Strategic Insights From an Emerging Market's Global Value Chains(2025-01-01) Tanchangya T.; Siddiqi K.O.; Dhar B.K.; Rahman J.; Islam N.; Das S.; Tanchangya T.; Mahidol UniversityESG-driven buyer governance in global value chains compels emerging-market suppliers to internalize new bundles of green and digital capabilities to remain competitive. This study examines how manufacturing firms in such contexts can orchestrate these capabilities under ESG pressure to achieve sustainable organizational performance. Anchored in the natural resource-based view (NRBV) and dynamic capabilities perspective (DCV), we develop and test an integrative framework in which sustainability management accounting (SMA) operates as a capability conduit linking green knowledge integration capability (GKIC) and green organizational culture (GOC) to performance, while business analytics adoption (BAA) functions as a digital amplifier that strengthens the SMA–SOP relationship. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) on survey data from 412 professionals in Bangladesh's export-oriented manufacturing sector, the findings demonstrate that SMA mediates and BAA amplifies the impact of green capabilities on performance. Robustness diagnostics (PLSpredict and IPMA) confirm predictive validity and managerial priority areas. Practically, integrating SMA and BAA helps firms improve ESG audit pass rates, retain preferred-supplier status, and sustain export continuity in international markets. The study advances theory by conceptualizing the GKIC–SMA–BAA configuration as a scalable pathway for ESG-driven competitiveness in global value chains.
