Everywhere carriers incur a measure of liability for the safety of the goods. Carriers are liable for any damage or for the loss of the goods that are in their possession as carriers unless they prove that the damage or loss is attributable to certain excepted causes. Damaged and lost items can unfortunately be a common problem when shipping freight. Legal responsibilities arise due to loss or damage during transit while cargo is in their care. This study intends to investigate the nature of the liability of the maritime carrier when this liability is realized, and the extent to which it can be paid or disposed of given the risks realized from the transportation process, which may result in damage or loss of the goods, and the damage that may cause to the consignee because of this damage or loss.

So there must be Auditing Norms that enable the authorities entrusted with the protection of competition and the prevention of monopolistic practices to evaluate these effects and determine their positive and negative aspects. This study sheds light on the Controls on Companies Concentration by studying American and European law and comparing it with Iraqi law.

The fencing of Gwadar, a port city in Balochistan, can be seen as an act of colonial geographical violence because it involves the forcible enclosure and control over land that belongs to indigenous Baloch people. The Baloch people were born there, and their traditional way of life revolves around fishing and small-scale agriculture. However, with the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and expansion of the deep-sea port in Gwadar, many Baloch were forcefully evicted from their homes and livelihoods. So, is the state using colonial geographical violence to fence Gwadar? We will employ the colonial geographical violence idea of Frantz Fanon [in his book The Wretched of the World, 1961: chapter ‘On Violence’], which was later used by several postcolonial writers.

This research analyzes the characteristics of Emirati Generation Z, millennials, and baby boomers, and the influence of social media to explain linguistic changes in the UAE. To do so, we administered a questionnaire containing 100 English words commonly used in Emirati Arabic; We have classified the types of English words and expressions used by the three generation cohorts. Participants also responded to a qualitative questionnaire, concerning the role that English played during the pandemic, Emiratis’ behavior towards social media, and their viewpoint regarding the influence of English in Emirati Arabic. Results showed that Generation Z uses more English words and expressions than the other two generations. Generation Z attended bilingual education in English and Arabic since primary school whereas most millennials and all baby boomers attended school exclusively in Arabic. We have examined that social media contributed to more English words in Emirati Arabic and determined the reasons why Generation G prefers to use English on social media and in their daily lives. We could conclude that Generation Z and most millennials see English positively and as inevitable progress in a globalized world while baby boomers see it as a threat to their language and culture. Generation Z also outperformed the other two generations regarding the pronunciation of words in English when speaking Emirati Arabic.

Initially supply chain profits and costs were exclusively positioned as financial or economic costs but over the years logistical activities were observed to have direct impacts on the environmental and social profits and costs that affect the environment through pollution and waste of resources, the health and the safety of people and social corporate responsibility. Cocoa Processing Company Limited still relies only on hydro-electricity and fossil fuel for its primary and supporting activities which is a managerial problem that has to be solved due to unreliable prices and supply of these energy sources. Ghana has an installed capacity of renewable energy of about 2% and the government is looking at ways to increase this figure to 10% by 2020 from the use of solar, wind and bioenergy alternative energy sources (Afrelec, 2017). CPC can go green by using efficient renewable sources of energy such as solar energy, biofuel, biomass and even wind to reduce cost of operations by supporting electricity usage since its high energy consumption contributes largely on its cost of operations. The above project is a case study that is aimed at ascertaining the long term necessity of investing into clean and lean logistics. Hence, the main purpose of this project is to incorporate green logistics into the logistical activities of Cocoa Processing Company Limited (CPC). It is for this reason that the research will use the qualitative method to retrieve information from customers, so as to perform a value chain analysis and use the quantitative method by the analysis of data for a trend in electricity consumption of CPC. The aim of logistical activities is to coordinate all activities in the supply chain hence these concepts of green logistics has to be implemented in a way that does not negatively affect meeting customer requirements and shareholder equity but rather further minimize costs economically, environmentally and socially. The overall study objective is to analyze the trend in energy consumption levels of CPC and ascertain if its operations can be powered with other alternative sources of energy to reduce electricity consumption. The study will allow CPC and other manufacturing industries realize the validity of investing into cleaner and efficient activities in moving products and information for long term high expected rates of returns to its shareholders although it may have high initial costs. It will also This study will help CPC leverage on alternative energy which will reduce operations costs in terms of energy consumption and make the value chain leaner if implemented by CPC, thereby improving profitability in cost leadership and in the long run aid in reducing energy wastage, transportation costs and pollution. It will also provide an insight into concepts such value chain analysis and the trend analysis of a manufacturing company for the use by scholars in similar future studies. It is therefore time for CPC to use green logistics in the aspects of energy consumption to save on operational cost while protecting the environment in the long time whiles avoiding the backlash of the unreliable power supply in Ghana. It is for this reason that the case study has the title “The use of green logistics: The way forward for Cocoa Processing Company Limited (CPC)”.
