Customer Awareness on Green Banking
Green banking is a relatively new concept in the banking sector, but it is gaining importance rapidly. Green banking refers to the adoption of environmentally friendly practices by banks in their operations and services. It is a way of banking that aims to minimize the environmental impact of the banking sector and promote sustainable development. Customer awareness of green banking services is essential for the success of green banking initiatives. Customers who are aware of green banking services are more likely to choose and use them. This can lead to a number of benefits, including reduced environmental impact, increased customer satisfaction, and improved brand image for banks. Andhra Pradesh is one of the leading states in India in terms of green banking initiatives. The state government has taken a number of steps to promote green banking, such as mandating the use of energy-efficient appliances in bank branches and providing incentives to banks that adopt green practices. Despite the growing awareness and initiatives, there is still a need for more research on customer awareness of green banking services in Andhra Pradesh.

Correlation Between Cost Reduction and Profitability of Business
This study explores the relationship between cost reduction through cost control and business profitability, focusing on Safarsame Modern Bus Company (SMB) for 2022 and 2023. Using a mixed research approach, it examines the correlation between payroll and utility cost reductions and profitability metrics such as net profit margin (NPM), return on assets (ROA), and return on equity (ROE). Quantitative analysis reveals negative moderate correlations between cost reductions and profitability ratios, indicating that cost-cutting means to profitability improve and was almost statistically significant, except between salary expenses and NPM. Qualitative findings identify SMB's strategies for reducing salary costs-downsizing staff with an internship program, performance-based compensation, and outsourcing-and for reducing utility expenses through behavioral changes and rate negotiations. The study recommends businesses adopt scientifically tested strategies for cost reduction to improve profitability, noting that both managers and academics can benefit from understanding these correlations for better decision-making and literature review.

Leadership and Administration ( Volume 1)
Mintzberg (2014) through his model on the roles and skills of leader-managers, affirms that an approach to "balanced management" of an organization allows the leader-manager to achieve what he calls "balance dynamic". According to him, this involves acquiring the skills for the roles he is called upon to play and which he must integrate into the exercise of his functions. The author underlines the importance for the leader to have interpersonal skills which enable him, within the framework of the direction of the group, to resolve conflicts and mediate.This is why, before determining the conflict management tools in the company, it is important for a leader to understand what can be considered as conflict in the professional environment; because in several cases, certain leaders manage to qualify certain situations as conflicts, and yet it was only a simple problem which created a dysfunction in itself which was not resolved in time.

Burnout Syndrome
This study analyzes a case study of a Public Institution of Higher Education, where the phenomenon of Burnout or Burnout Syndrome is presented in a group of employees who provide service to the public. For this analysis, the Maslach Measurement Instrument (1986) was applied to a population of 70 administrative employees. The measurement instrument consists of 22 items that are rated on a Likert-type scale. The subject rates, by means of a range of 6 adjectives from "never" to "daily", how often he/she experiences each of the situations described in the items. The factorization of the 22 items yields in most of the papers 3 factors that are called emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal fulfillment at work. The findings show that the emotional exhaustion or burnout syndrome manifested by the employees has caused them to lower their work performance and productivity and some show physical signs of illnesses that are manifested in their absenteeism and apathy towards their work, resulting in high correlations between the variables of the Maslach Model and the Burnout Syndrome.
