🌟 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 🌟 I am so excited to share some incredible milestones from my academic path, marked by three prestigious scientific research awards: 𝟏. 𝐔𝐄𝐇𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝: Initially, I was extremely nervous, having to defend my topic in a debate round in front of a panel of judges and an audience. Despite the pressure, I successfully presented my work and received the award. 𝟐. 𝐔𝐄𝐇 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 (𝐂 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞): This competition paved the way for a remarkable opportunity for me to represent UEH in the Olympiad in Econometrics and Applications, a national scientific research competition. 𝟑. 𝐎𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞): Competing at this level, I was proud to secure the third prize, a monument to the hard work and dedication invested in my research. My study has been developed and upgraded through each milestone. It was a extremely challenging and demanding process, but perseverance and dedication led me to this rewarding outcome. These achievements would not have been possible without the guidance and support of my lecturer, Dr. Tuan Le. Thank you so much, Dr. Tuan Le, for your invaluable mentorship. 🔍 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬: My research investigaties the impact of national democracy levels on firm carbon emissions, analyzing data from 10,432 companies over 17 years (2002-2019) across 53 countries (28 developing, 25 developed). Key findings include: - Higher democracy levels correlate with reduced firm carbon emissions, with a stronger inverse relationship in developing nations. - Societal trust and stock market development play crucial roles: higher social trust enhances the inverse association, while developed stock markets weaken it. - The results remain robust using alternative carbon emission measures, two-stage systems GMM estimation to address endogeneity, and WLS to tackle heteroscedasticity. These insights are vital for companies, legislators, and future research, highlighting the intricate dynamics between democracy and environmental sustainability. I am thrilled to continue this journey and contribute further to our understanding of environmental and economic dynamics ❤️🌎 #Research #Sustainability #Democracy #CarbonEmissions #Econometrics #AcademicAchievement #UEH #EnvironmentalImpact #ScientificResearch #Gratitude

Steps towards Research

On this National Science Day, let's take a moment to appreciate the profound impact that science has on our lives and the world we inhabit. Science isn't just a subject in textbooks or laboratories; it's a dynamic force that shapes our understanding of the universe and drives innovation in every aspect of our existence. Science empowers us to unravel the secrets of life, cure diseases, and engineer solutions to pressing global challenges like climate change, food security, and sustainable energy. Science is more than just facts and figures—it's a mindset, a way of thinking that embraces curiosity, critical thinking, and evidence-based reasoning. It encourages us to question, explore, and challenge the status quo, pushing the boundaries of what's possible and driving progress forward. Let's inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators to dream big, think boldly, and tackle the grand challenges facing humanity.  Happy National Science Day! #NationalScienceDay #ScienceAppreciation #ScienceImpact #innovation #curiosity #criticalthinking #evidencebased #sustainableenergy #energysustainable #science #sciencefiction #sciencememes #scienceday #sciencesunday #stem #scienceeducation #inspirethenextgeneration #risansi #risansipumps

𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗢𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 In a world of cut-throat #competition, what if you could render competitors almost irrelevant? Occasionally, you can, using BlueOcean Strategy, a game-changing approach to business innovation developed by Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne, professors of strategy at INSEAD and co-directors of the INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute in Fontainebleau, France. What is #BlueOcean Strategy? Thank you for asking!  It’s the simultaneous pursuit of differentiation and low cost to open up a new market space and create new demand.   It’s about creating and capturing uncontested market space. This is based on the view that market boundaries and industry structure are not necessarily ‘a given’: sometimes they can be reconstructed. Red oceans are all the industries in existence today – the known market space.  In red oceans, industry boundaries are defined and accepted, and the competitive ‘rules of the game’ are known. Companies try to outperform their rivals and maximise share of existing demand; leading to ‘blood in the water’. Blue oceans, by contrast, denote industries not in existence yet – the unknown market space, untainted by competition, demand is created rather than fought over:  true game changing. Key principles: 📌 Align the whole system of a firm's activities in pursuit of differentiation and low cost 📌 Create uncontested market space 📌 Create and capture new demand 📌 Break the value-cost trade-off 📌 Enjoy first-mover advantage Why it matters: 📌 Escapes the limitations of existing market boundaries 📌 Focuses on value innovation, not just technological innovation 📌 Enables sustainable, profitable growth from new business models 𝗦𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁? Psychological profiling can identify people who are strong game changers – people who excel in generating creative ideas; imaginative thinkers who can envision possibilities that others overlook; who are not averse to risk, not afraid of failure, driven by a strong ambition for their ideas rather than personal status, big picture thinkers who  favour transformational change over incremental improvements. I can help you identify people with these proclivities using The GC Index (it identifies other useful proclivities too.) As well as harnessing revolutionary power inside the organisation, you can harness external insights – through #secondaryresearch and through undertaking primary research with other #stakeholders – customers,  organizations  elsewhere in the value chain, etc. See video for a more detailed explanation and  for more information on secondary research say YES in the in the comment below and I’ll be happy to send you a briefing document.

Strategy Science is becoming recognized across national borders and institutions

Great panel sessions at today’s Science|Business conference! One discussion focused on impact and that when looking at impact it's tempting to only think of the relatively easy to measure, quantifiable impacts that a project or programme achieved. Looking at pure numbers, the impact of Horizon 2020 is impressive: in terms of ROI there was an €11 return for each €1 invested, 20% - 30% increase in jobs and turn-over reported, mobility of 50,000 researchers and 33 Nobel laureates supported, etc. But, even more important in particular in today's world are, I think, the harder to measure qualitative impacts, which are hard to express in numbers or monetary terms, but which have a profound impact on all our lives. We may too often not appreciate these enough and take them as a given: - preservation of democracies - critical thinking and well-educated people - bringing people from different countries and different backgrounds together - building networks Interested to hear from my network. What are your thoughts on this? #HorizonEurope #hivemind

🌟 Looking beyond the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for #SustainableDevelopment, it's evident that new metrics for measuring impact will be needed very soon. UNSW Science's newly-launched initiative, 'The Pact for Impact', is dedicated to pioneering these essential metrics, while also prioritising collaboration and partnerships. Find out more about the #PactForImpact below.

🔬 The POIESIS Focus Groups, a major survey that took place in the 7 Consortium countries (Denmark, UK, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain and Greece) with the participation of dozens of research and science communication experts has been completed. The discussions were extremely interesting in each of the 21 Focus Groups held, with the influence of the wider social context of each country evident in most of them and led to some very interesting findings. 🔭 Most of the participants suggested that there is no general crisis in trust in science; however, increasing, and complex challenges related to trust between science and society were identified. Questionable or detrimental research practices, irresponsible science communication, “disruptors”, and the influence of private and political interests are some of the main factors contributing to these challenges. 📢 Additionally, while participants were relatively divided on the effects of public engagement in science, they agreed that fostering a culture of participation requires a mobilisation of all actors in the ‘chain of mediation’: non-institutional actors in science communication are already involved, but other actors, especially institutional ones, should play a more active role in supporting the development of participatory projects by the scientific community. 🏛 Finally, regarding the role of institutions in promoting social integrity and social integration, the idea that each scientific organization should be able to systematically identify the conflicting moral imperatives to which it subjects its staff seems to be an essential task. But it is important to stress that these institutional actions will remain ineffective if they are not coordinated at both national and European levels. 📚 You can read more about our Focus Groups by reading the Focus Group Findings: Exploring Institutional Roles in Fostering Public Trust in Science (D3.2) document on our website (https://lnkd.in/e73ziz8B)
