1. Paper by Joseph (2018)
1.1 Summary
    The paper by Joseph (2018) summarizes that the Global demand for oil has been increasing in the recent years. The reason behind this increase in demand is due to the developing nations like India and China. Due to the rapid industrialization and u
anization has resulted in the increase in the demand of oil. Crude oil is about 24 per cent of the India’s total energy consumption.
However, in the recent years, the price of fuel has increased ten times and it has affected the livelihood of lower class and middle class people. The hike in petrol prices has affected the following major sectors directly and indirectly such as transportation, textiles, auto sector, FMCG goods and many more. The increase in price has affected the prices of essential items used on daily basis as the transportation cost has increased due to the increase in price and that has resulted in increase in price of food.
1.2 Reflective Description
    I can reflect on the knowledge gained from the article that the security in energy is both crucial and essential for sustain the high economic growth and for control of inflation. Regarding the consumption of crude oil globally, India is the fourth largest consumer due to the rapid economic growth and the demand for energy has been rising rapidly. The major portion of oil is imported, which leads to the severe pressure on the economy when the price of the oil rises. Therefore, the details of the crude oil demand and the future projection will be helpful regarding a
angements of the appropriate supply in the future by the policy makers.
Among the total consumption 76 million ba
els of oil is consumed every day, OPEC accounts for about 60% of world’s oil reserves, and the exports marked at 55% of the oil that traded internationally. The oil reserve of India is deficient and it imports about 70% of oil from the OPEC countries. Therefore alternate source of energy needs to be identified and to be used more to cu
the challenges imposed by the rise in crude oil prices. In India’s total energy consumption, crude oil contributes around 24% whereas the remaining consumption is contributed by 6% of natural gas, 40% of coal, 27% of combustible renewable and waste products, 2% of hydroelectric energy, 1% each of nuclear, and wind energy (Joseph, 2018).
2. Paper by Albekov, Parkhomenko and Polubotko (2017)
2.1 Summary
    The paper by Albekov, Parkhomenko and Polubotko (2017) state that in the cu
ent challenges that the world is facing, one of the major challenges is the environmental security. It is very important to use the environment more wisely and effectively to ensure the stability and sustainability for future generation consumption by creating the conditions for preservation of the environment.
While exploring the conceptual organization and the functional expertise of the modern logistic system it is very important to highlight the general involvement and
oad scope of the trade and transport as well as the socio economic mechanism in the global as well as the domestic format. The logistic is also involved for all the phases of the creation and distribution of demand regarding the market for goods and services, forming the base of the lifecycle and economic value. The large portion of the costs of production and circulation is beard by the logistical cost of
inging the product to the customer.
2.2 Reflective Description
    After gaining the knowledge from the article, I could evaluate that logistics is widely spread amongst the Russian business house; however, no companies understand the importance of development of information and communication supply chain network. In Russia annually around 350 million tons of ca
on dioxide is released in the atmosphere by the vehicles used for logistics. In addition, the operation of transport consumes around 115 million tons of fuel and 1.5 million tons of lu
icant annually. However, it is possible to change the grim situation by making use of the secondary resources profitable and commercially viable. The benefits are only possible under the market economic condition.
In the countries with the developed market economic condition, there are specialized firms that performs business, based on the secondary material resources and they are economically viable, which is encouraged by the government. There are many ways, through which the eco-destructive consequence of the logistic towards the environment sustainability (Albekov, Parkhomenko & Polubotko, 2017). I can assure that a change in the distribution strategy in a timely manner is necessary to from a green supply chain, which will ensure the progress of technology and environmental safety, integrating science, business and government in a common platform of greener methods.
3. Paper by Bottero, Lenzu and Mezzanotti (2018)
3.1 Summary
The paper by Bottero, Lenzu and Mezzanotti (2018)    shows that among the banks with a lower capital and a less stable funding. In the following situation, the contraction of the credit was similar for both the large firms as well as for the smaller firms. However, the large firms were not affected that much, the smaller firms do get affected by the following. The smaller firms were negatively affected by the investment and the employment decision that they take. Apart from being loaned that are considered assets there are many things that can be considered as assets like securities, real properties, equity holdings and many more. There are complimentary among the following investments, however the change in the market price and the risk of the assets may lead to the adjustments in the bank’s credit supply, which will have adverse effects on the economy in real.
3.2 Reflective Description
With the European crisis, we have seen that the security portfolio of the banks played an important role in the propagation of the financial stocks among countries. With the use of Italian loan-level data, we have seen that the stock of the banks sovereign portfolio was caused due to the 2010 Greek bailout was passed upon the Italian firms through a credit contraction. I can reflect on the knowledge gained from the article that the financial intermediaries play a fundamental role while enhancing the economic growth, lending to the companies, lending to households and reallocating the capital to the highest value use. We have also come to understand the way the bank’s sovereign bonds, which are considered as one of the important security class, held by the financial intermediaries during the tensed international sovereign market.
While considering the credit market dynamics and firms economic activity if Italy during the 2010 Greek bailout event, which not only directly affected the investors of Greece, it also created a widespread economic turmoil globally. The banks played a role by their security...
