1 Analyzing Maritime Transport Export: A Case Study of Mersin Port in Turkey by Mesut Selamoglu Maritime transport is of great importance in our country, which is surrounded by seas on three sides. Thanks to the many ports in our country, maritime trade has an important place in our country. Ports are one of the key points of our country's maritime trade and transportation. Mersin Port, which is a gateway to the Mediterranean and the Middle East, is one of these key points. In this study, the maritime transport realized in Mersin Port and the maritime transport realized in our country were examined. There are multiple different ways and methods of exporting. One of these is exporting by sea transportation. Sea transport exports are actually the largest in terms of export methods and the cheapest. Perhaps the only downside is that it arrives a little later than air export or land export. However, while you have to make more than one shipment with other export routes, the fact that you will do it at once with maritime transport exports reveals that it is more advantageous than other ways. 26-June-2023 21-September-2023/

2 Minds in Motion: Unraveling the Impact of Cognitive Writing Strategies on Essay Achievement in Moroccan EFL University Students by Mouhssine Ayouri, Mohammed El Messaoudi & Saida Hdii Effective writing in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context heavily relies on the utilization of cognitive writing strategies. Understanding the link between these strategies and writing achievement is crucial for improving instruction and assessment. This study explores the cognitive writing strategies employed by 89 EFL students in their fourth semester, specifically focusing on argumentative essays at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities in El Jadida, Morocco. The primary objective is to examine differences in writing achievement levels based on strategy use and investigate the relationship between writing achievement and the application of writing strategies. To conduct this research, a quantitative approach was adopted, employing a Likert scale questionnaire and an argumentative writing test. The results of the study reveal that pre-writing, revising, and while-writing strategies are frequently employed by the participants. Although there were no notable variations in strategy usage across different levels of achievement, the findings suggest a slight positive connection. This implies that higher levels of achievement tend to be linked to a more extensive use of writing strategies. This research contributes valuable insights into the interplay between cognitive writing strategies and writing achievement, providing implications for both EFL instruction and assessment methodologies. 30-July-2023 23-September-2023/

3 Emerging Research Trends in Sustainable Development Studies by Dr. Kalpana Gopalan IAS, PGPPM-IIMB, PhD-IIMB. The paper is a deep dive into literature and scholarship on sustainable development. The purpose is to identify emerging research themes that are of growing interest to scholars on sustainability with particular emphasis on management and public policy literature, and the methodology is three-pronged, comprising the following: a content analysis of sustainability scholarship, tracking of patterns and trends over a two-decade period to delineate specific findings, and an exploration of the learnings from the literature review. We have trained our focus largely on the disciplines of management and public policy. The attempt is to distinguish the ideas, the orientation, and the direction of sustainability research longitudinally over time. The paper presents several interesting learnings growing cross-disciplinary trends in sustainability research, the evolutionary nature of sustainability studies, the induction of emerging economies into sustainable development and its reflection in research studies, theorising and the development of frameworks, creation of knowledge and information hubs in industry and the episodic movement from precepts and principles; to protocols and policy; and to practice process, and performance. By suggesting a novel approach to perceiving and classifying sustainability research over time, presenting frameworks for theory building in this field of study, and proposing fruitful areas for future research, we contribute to the body of relevant literature. 4-July-2023 27-September-2023/
