To produce sustainably, an optimal solution must be determined that ensures that the production of future generations is not compromised. New demands and the introduction of renewable energy imply adding energy storage to regulate the grid. This review aims to synthesise the state of the art of research on energy production and storage with information and expert opinions available to the general public, with an application to the French model. French publications online are used for illustration. A comparative analysis is proposed to recommend ways to improve technicality and to guide decision-makers on the levers to be favoured for each specific storage needed, taking into account the principles defined by the United Nations to define Sustainable Development. Solutions considered rustic can also contribute to the optimisation of energy resources by mechanically storing energy, but the choice of decision-makers will always be fundamental to imposing either soft or hard changes, whereas some attitudes seeking only to favour present advantages are the very antithesis of the principle of sustainability.

Microfinance has a positive impact on the living standard of the poor people in particular and alleviates poverty in their households in general. It is not only undermining poverty in the city but also empowering women through surviving and making their life prosperous with dignity and self-reliance by providing financial services. This study aims to provide information for a better understanding of the constraints of women to access microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Ethiopia and establishes a knowledge base that helps to make a sound decision by providing information for policymakers and identifying research gaps, MFIs, and other lending institutions, and stakeholders. The study uses the literature review methods. From the findings of the study, Ethiopian Microfinance is facing different challenges in empowerment such as lack of collateral assets, lack of information, work burden, production failures, verbal abuse, lack of infrastructure and low institutional capacity. Keywords: Collateral, empowering women, microfinance, poverty eradication

The major goal of this research is to assess Bangladesh's foreign remittance inflows. In recent years, remittance has risen to prominence as one of the most important economic variables, since it helps with the surplus balance of payments, foreign reserves, aggregate savings and money circulation. Bangladesh's foreign trade has begun to improve after overcoming the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In comparison to the previous fiscal year, total export earnings declined by 16.93% to US$ 33,674.09 million in FY2019–20. During the first half of fiscal year 2020–21, export earnings totalled US$ 35,180.81 million, up 13.64% over the same period of the previous fiscal year. Furthermore, remittance earnings are growing at a slower rate than emigration from Bangladesh, owing to a rising number of unskilled or semi-skilled labourers in overseas migration rather than professional. Remittances have a great impact on Bangladesh's economy. Keywords: Foreign remittance, money laundering, foreign exchange, foreign trade, migration, economy;

Financial losses from the inactions of motorists culminated in financial anxieties, probably due to financial illiteracy in financial decisions. However, financial decisions are usually made in the course of attaining a high level of personal financial satisfaction. Therefore, this study examined the relationships between financial knowledge, financial confidence and risk attitudes, with specific reference to motor insurance policyholders in Lagos, Nigeria. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. The study population consisted of the total number of registered motorists recorded as of 2019 by the Lagos State Motor Vehicle Administration Agency. Thus, quota and convenience sampling methods were adopted in the questionnaire distribution and collection processes. A structured questionnaire was employed for data gathering. A total of 399 copies of the questionnaire were distributed, of which 287 were found usable. The data processing technique employed was simple frequency percentages and the multinomial logistics regression method. The findings further affirmed that financial knowledge and confidence were significant in attracting reasonable risk attitudes from policyholders.

These objectives can be achieved by automated accounting processes that release accounting and management staff from routine work so they can focus on creative processes. The research aims to investigate the level of automation of accounting processes in enterprises. The sample of the survey consisted of enterprises where the kolegija/University of Applied Sciences accounting study programmes students had practiced before; in 2017 – 67 and 2018 – 69. The research method included an analysis of information sources, a questionnaire survey, comparison and critical evaluation. The research results showed that the automation of accounting processes is increasing every year in enterprises. Keywords: Accountant, accounting, automation, data processing;

The underground economy is a pervasive feature of countries throughout the world. This paper aims to investigate to what extent corruption, governance and quality of institutions influenced the underground economy in Nigeria from 1996 to 2020. The technique of analysis is the generalised method of moments, which is a statistical method that combines observed economic data with the information in population moment conditions to produce estimates of the unknown parameters of an economic model. It was generally observed that when all the control variables were introduced, institutional quality (INST) and unjust distribution of income (GIN) continued to show a positive and significant relationship with the underground economy. As such, this paper recommends that Nigeria’s government strengthen its institutional environment and apply a combination of fiscal policy and labour and financial market reforms to reduce economic inequality.

Although operations seem more important than everything in a business operation, warehouse management has great importance to the success of a business operation. Storage location assignment is very important because of the uncertainty in the number of incoming products, the necessity of answering unknown customers’ demands and the speed rate of response to customer demands. Besides, several factors affect warehouse management. Assigning products to appropriate locations is one of the most important and complex. This study aims to present recent academic works on the storage location assignment problem published from 2018 to 2021. These problems are assigned accordingly. Methods of solution, goals and some related considerations are considered while investigating the works. Recommendations are provided in the conclusion. Based on the reviewed articles, warehouse capacity, market, products, logistics resources and operational configuration are taken into account as restrictions or considerations.
