Manajemen risiko yang efektif merupakan bagian penting dari tata kelola pemerintahan yang baik karena berperan dalam menjamin efisiensi, transparansi, dan akuntabilitas pencapaian tujuan organisasi publik. Meskipun SNI ISO 31000:2018 telah ditetapkan sebagai standar nasional, implementasinya di sektor publik masih menghadapi tantangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi kesesuaian kebijakan manajemen risiko pada sejumlah instansi pemerintah dengan SNI ISO 31000:2018, menilai relevansi standar tersebut sebagai acuan kebijakan, serta mengidentifikasi urgensi harmonisasi kebijakan antarinstansi. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif melalui studi dokumen dan wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan akademisi serta praktisi sektor publik. Analisis isi diterapkan menggunakan matriks berbasis prinsip, kerangka, dan proses manajemen risiko, sedangkan data wawancara dianalisis dengan analisis tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya disparitas adopsi dengan tingkat kesesuaian 0–87,23%. Dampaknya, harmonisasi rinci tidak menjadi prioritas, melainkan penyamaan persepsi untuk memperkuat kolaborasi lintas sektor dalam kerangka Manajemen Risiko Pembangunan Nasional.

All girls have the right to grow up free of gender-related violence and to be able to benefit from being educated. Investing in the education of girls is recognized to be one of the best investments a country can make because of the health, social, and economic benefits that accrue, not just for the educated young woman but for broader society. Problematically, child marriage is still commonplace globally, and in addition to being a human rights issue, girls being made to marry too young robs them of their childhood and also of the ability to benefit fully from their education. The negative effects of marrying too young can impact whole lifetimes; common consequences include pregnancy complications, the risk of spousal violence, and significant mental health issues. UNICEF and the WHO have called for action to reduce child marriage by providing adolescent girls with life skills training, comprehensive sexual health education, and support to stay in school, in addition to working at a community level to change attitudes that potentiate the cultural beliefs that potentiate the custom. As global health advocates, we need to recognize child marriage as a fundamental human rights issue that demands global attention, and look for ways to contribute to the support and empowerment of girls who are at risk.
The article explores the role of integrating Ukrainian machine building enterprises into value chains (VCs) as a decisive factor in their modernization and enhancing global competitiveness. The authors outline the theoretical foundations of VCs functioning and identify their impact on technological development, innovation activities, and the transformation of enterprise production and management models. The study systematizes the key integration barriers, including technological and infrastructural backwardness, investment shortages, personnel imbalances, and limited compliance with international standards. The study also analyzes current scientific approaches to studying integration processes in global production networks and highlights underdeveloped areas, including the assessment of management transformations, institutional support, and the risks associated with technological dependence. Based on logical-theoretical, systemic, structural-functional, and comparative analysis, the mechanisms and conditions under which integration into GVCs can accelerate the modernization of Ukrainian machine building have been identified. The practical significance of the study lies in formulating recommendations to enhance enterprise participation in global production networks: developing cluster structures, digitalization, improving logistics infrastructure, expanding innovation cooperation, and shifting to strategic planning focused on high-tech segments with high added value. The proposed approaches can be applied in the government industrial development policies, corporate strategies, and industrial modernization programs. Furthermore, the article emphasizes that integration into GVCs not only provides economic benefits for machine building enterprises but also introduces new requirements for production organization, quality management, and building partnership relations. The article shows that participation in global networks promotes the acceleration of technological upgrading, the development of engineering competencies, the enhancement of standardization levels, and the transition to «smart production» models. Special attention is given to the development of domestic value chains as a foundation for increasing localization, resilience, and the capacity of enterprises to act as full-fledged participants in international production systems.
This study examines active liquidity management by Indian open-ended equity mutual funds. We find that fund managers respond to inflows by increasing cash holdings, which are later used to purchase less-liquid stocks at favourable valuations. Funds with less liquid portfolios tend to maintain larger cash reserves to manage flows. Funds that make active liquidity choices yield statistically and economically significant gross and net returns. The performance differences between funds with varying activeness in altering liquidity highlight the importance of active liquidity management in markets with substantial cross-sectional liquidity differences such as India.
This study investigates the effectiveness of precipitation storage operations, specifically crescent catchment systems, as an innovative and beneficial approach for rangeland restoration in arid and semi-arid regions of the country. The Chadaroyeh basin was selected as the study area, where four biological and biomechanical implementation programs were designed to manage and collect existing runoff. A total area of 93.23% of the Chadaroyeh watershed was designated for crescent catchment systems, incorporating seeding efforts. Additionally, three mortar rock weirs and fivedry weirs were strategically designed at the basin outlet, taking into account the annual inflow and the morphology of the main waterway. Two mortar rock weirs were constructed to control sedimentation and protect the soil upstream, while a sediment-retaining mortar rock weir was built at the outlet of the CH1 and CH2 sub-basins. The remaining five dry weirs were positioned around the aforementioned structures and in secondary and tertiary waterways. The SCS method was employed to estimate flood volumes for various return periods. Results from estimating the water intake capacity of the crescent catchments revealed that, by applying this method to 1796.76 ha of the Chadaroyeh watershed, a total of 2,454,515.79 m³ of surface runoff would be stored annually. When considering the flood volumes for different return periods, the total storage capacity of the three mortar rock structures was estimated to be 88,000 m³ for a 25-year return period, which accounts for only 11.9% of the total 25-year flood volume. However, these structures manage and store 75.3% and 25.8% of the total flood volume in the Chadaroyeh watershed for 2- and 5-year return periods, respectively
In this research paper, we investigate into a paper named "A Deep Reinforcement Learning Framework for the Financial Portfolio Management Problem" [arXiv:1706.10059]. It is a portfolio management problem which is solved by deep learning techniques. The original paper proposes a financial-model-free reinforcement learning framework, which consists of the Ensemble of Identical Independent Evaluators (EIIE) topology, a Portfolio-Vector Memory (PVM), an Online Stochastic Batch Learning (OSBL) scheme, and a fully exploiting and explicit reward function. Three different instants are used to realize this framework, namely a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a basic Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The performance is then examined by comparing to a number of recently reviewed or published portfolio-selection strategies. We have successfully replicated their implementations and evaluations. Besides, we further apply this framework in the stock market, instead of the cryptocurrency market that the original paper uses. The experiment in the cryptocurrency market is consistent with the original paper, which achieve superior returns. But it doesn't perform as well when applied in the stock market.
We investigate the portfolio frontier and risk premia in equilibrium when institutional investors aim to minimize the tracking error variance under an ESG score mandate. If a negative ESG premium is priced in the market, this mandate can reduce portfolio inefficiency when the return over-performance target is limited. In equilibrium, with asset managers endowed with an ESG mandate and mean-variance investors, a negative ESG premium arises. A result that is supported by empirical data. The negative ESG premium is due to the ESG constraint imposed on institutional investors and is not associated with a risk factor.
In today's world, the development of any economy is characterised by numerous financial, socio-economic and political challenges. Ukraine's experience is particularly special, as its macroeconomic environment is undergoing significant shifts and changes due to the unprecedented armed invasion of its sovereign territory by a neighbouring aggressor country. Given the importance of the industrial production sector in the country's economic growth, the problem of additional financial sources for the development of industrial enterprises in the dynamic macroeconomic environment of Ukraine is particularly relevant. Since banks are the dominant link in the financial system of Ukraine, the study of the impact of the macroeconomic environment on bank lending to industrial enterprises is of particular scientific interest. The article is aimed at identifying and analysing the key economic factors of the macroeconomic environment of Ukraine that influenced the state of bank lending to industrial enterprises in 2009-2022, using economic and mathematical modelling methods. Methodology. The study is based on the data that showed the highest correlations between the outcome variable - the volume of bank lending to industrial enterprises (in billion UAH) and the explanatory variables - economic factors of the macroeconomic environment of different groups (general indicators of economic development; indicators of industrial development; indicators of socio-economic development; indicators of the monetary market; indicators of public finance; indicators of the external sector; indicators of the foreign exchange market) for the period 2009-2022. Based on these data, a multiple linear regression model is built and the results are interpreted. Practical implications. The practical results can serve as a basis for further research on ways to improve the risk management of bank lending to industrial enterprises in a dynamic macroeconomic environment; ways to improve the management of problem debts of industrial enterprises; ways to intensify bank lending to industrial enterprises in Ukraine as a prerequisite for post-war economic reconstruction on the basis of sustainable development, etc. Value/Originality. The results of the research provide a deeper understanding of the role of the country's macroeconomic environment, its dynamics and the impact of certain economic factors on the development of bank lending to industrial enterprises as an important source of additional financial resources for industrial enterprises.
This paper investigates the optimal management of an aggregated defined benefit pension plan in a stochastic environment. The interest rate follows the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model, the benefits follow the geometric Brownian motion while the contribution rate is determined by the spread method of fund amortization. The pension manager invests in the financial market with three assets: cash, bond and stock. Regardless of the initial status of the plan, we suppose that the pension fund may become underfunded or overfunded in the planning horizon. The optimization goal of the manager is to maximize the expected utility in the overfunded region minus the weighted solvency risk in the underfunded region. By introducing an auxiliary process and related equivalent optimization problems and using the martingale method, the optimal wealth process, optimal portfolio and efficient frontier are obtained under four cases (high tolerance towards solvency risk, low tolerance towards solvency risk, a specific lower bound, and high lower bound). Moreover, we also obtain the probabilities that the optimal terminal wealth falls in the overfunded and underfunded regions. At last, we present numerical analyses to illustrate the manager's economic behaviors.

Project managers play a crucial role in the success of projects. The selection of an appropriate project manager is a primary concern for senior managers in firms. Typically, this process involves candidate interviews and assessments of their abilities. There are various criteria for selecting a project manager, and the importance of each criterion depends on the project type, its conditions, and the risks associated with their absence in the chosen candidate. Often, senior managers in engineering companies lack awareness of the significance of these criteria and the potential risks linked to their absence. This research aims to identify these risks in selecting project managers for civil engineering projects, utilizing a combined ANP-FMEA approach. Through a comprehensive literature review, five risk categories have been identified: individual skills, power-related issues, knowledge and expertise, experience, and personality traits. Subsequently, these risks, along with their respective sub-criteria and internal relationships, were analysed using the combined ANP-FMEA technique. The results highlighted that the lack of political influence, absence of construction experience, and deficiency in project management expertise represent the most substantial risks in selecting a project manager. Moreover, upon comparison with the traditional FMEA approach, this study demonstrates the superior ability of the ANP-FMEA model in differentiating risks and pinpointing factors with elevated risk levels.

The development and implementation of the latest technologies requires certain changes in the
management of enterprises, organizations and banks that seek to be competitive in the market.
Many studies state that enterprises and organizations that are flexible and quickly adapt to
changes in the external environment, quickly improve management, taking into account all approaches
and methods, are successful in the market and successfully adapt to changes.
Financial management in enterprises, organizations and banks through processes that enable
effective management is an important and rather complex issue. It should be noted that in Ukraine, the
improvement of financial management through the use of the latest technologies, such as, for example,
digitalization, is not very active. At the same time, most enterprises in developed countries demonstrate
examples of the implementation of various innovative financial management tools. These and other
important questions need to be explored.
In the scientific article, the analysis of information software, which is the most common in use, is
carried out, their distinguishing characteristics are given, and the expediency of introducing innovative
information technologies into the financial management system of domestic enterprises, organizations,
financial and banking institutions to automate the planning and forecasting process is justified. The
experience of 25 foreign industries that use information software was considered, and those that are
most popular among foreign enterprises were determined.
The authors considered the most prevailing in use foreign software, which can be used by
domestic companies, provided the distinctive characteristics of such software and cited the examples
of foreign companies that have already had experience in using the specified programs to automate the
planning and forecasting process. The experience of 25 foreign industries was examined in this regard.
There was created a comparison matrix between functions of the foreign software for automation
of the processes of financial planning and forecasting: functions of the planning process, forecasting,
reporting, and conducting analytics. Based on the results of the analysis, foreign software for automation
of the planning and forecasting processes at enterprises was ranked according to four criteria: general
rating, ease of use, quality of support, and ease of configuration.
Special attention was paid to the most modern new generation business platform for financial
planning and forecasting called Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) System, its
modules were considered and advantages in practical use were determined.
The list of the most popular information programs that can be used by domestic enterprises,
organizations, and financial and banking institutions for effective financial management was given.
These are BAS ERP, SAP ERP, “Galaxy ERP”, SyteLine, “Parus ERP”, Oracle E- business Suit,
and Microsoft Dynamics AX. Conclusions and proposals were made regarding the implementation of
information technologies for the purpose of effective financial management of domestic enterprises,
organizations, and financial and banking institutions.
Sports tourism is an important type of tourism that is growing and developing rapidly. Tourist destinations in the field of sports not only support sports tourism policies but also attend to environmental issues in a bid to promote green behaviors among tourists. This research aimed to investigate the role of sports tourism in promoting green behaviors among tourists in Ardabil Province. As a mixed methods research, the study relied on a sequential exploratory approach consisting of qualitative and quantitative phases. The methods of thematic analysis and survey were used to analyze the data. The first phase of the study involved interviewing experts in sports tourism, sports management, and behavior management through purposive sampling. The second phase used systematic sampling and the influential actors of the field as the statistical population, with 31 experts responding to the questionnaire. According to the research findings in the first phase, 36 basic themes, 15 organizing themes, and three global themes were extracted from the semi-structured interviews. In the second phase, the identified themes were approved by the experts as the factors affecting the role of sports tourism in promoting green behaviors among tourists. The study highlights that sports tourism not only creates macro social, cultural, and economic benefits for residents and visitors, but also has a significant contribution to green behaviors among tourists. Green behaviors, in addition to protecting the environment, have a positive impact on the development of sports tourism and can strengthen and develop pro-environmental attitudes among tourists, besides creating recreational experiences.Introduction Sport is an ever-evolving phenomenon, with new sport events emerging regularly. Organizations need to study specific aspects of sports in order to manage their resources more effectively. As one of the most important fields in this respect, sports tourism refers to those trips for recreational (non-commercial) reasons to participate in or observe sports activities outside one’s usual residence, with or without competitive goals. Sports tourism has gradually gained popularity in different countries, leading to the establishment of specialized sports tourism agencies in large cities and small local towns. Sports activities, such as beach volleyball, rock climbing, river tracking, etc., allow tourists to participate freely in the tourism process, Sports tourism is a low-cost recreational activity that can improve physical and mental health. Travelers from many countries are paying increasing attention to sports tourism, creating many sports activities in sightseeing spots and resorts, including mountain climbing, cycling, road running, river trekking, rock climbing, and swimming.The sports tourism industry is highly competitive. Implementing and managing sustainable tourism development programs and a greener competitive advantage in these areas provide potential benefits for sports tourism destinations. Nowadays, sports tourism destinations tend to take measures to attract tourists and increase the credibility of sports tourism. Sports tourism departments have taken steps towards the greening of tourists’ behaviors. In addition to economic, political, and cultural fields, sports tourism has attended to environmental issues and greening. Green behaviors among tourists can positively affect the host community as well as the environment. Destinations providing sports tourism can benefit by encouraging tourism service providers to develop green measures and strategies. Green behaviors among tourists can play a fundamental role. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate and analyze the role of sports tourism and its influential factors in promoting green behaviors among tourists. The present study aimed to investigate this issue in Ardabil Province, which has ten cities with sports tourism in several sports, such as skiing, rock climbing, mountaineering, river trekking, water sports, hiking, camping, etc. Considering the province’s pristine and beautiful nature, it is vital to promote green behaviors among tourists. Materials and MethodsAs an applied research based on a mixed methods design, the present study utilized a sequential exploratory approach involving both qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis. Given more analytical weight, the first phase used the qualitative method of thematic analysis. Using tools such as semi-structured interviews, the study could obtain relevant codes. In an inductive approach (part to whole), the identified themes were categorized under basic, organizing, and global themes. During the second phase, the study employed the quantitative survey method, and each of the themes was sent to the experts for verification, review, and measurement of its components and assessment of its validity. The participants of the study were categorized separately for both phases. In the first phase, the purposeful sampling method was used to identify 11 experts in sports tourism, sports management, and behavior management, who participated in the study online. The second phase of the study used the influential actors in the field, who were mainly active in the academic and executive sectors. The second phase relied on the systematic sampling method, and 31 experts responded to the questionnaire. Results and DiscussionHaving examined the semi-structured interviews, the study identified 121 indicators, from which 36 basic themes, 15 organizing themes, and three global themes were extracted. Each organizing theme is the principal element and constituent of the global themes. The themes indicate that these factors influence and determine the role of sports tourism in promoting green behaviors among tourists in the host community. In the quantitative phase, the themes received values higher than the acceptable limit, which indicates the appropriateness of the measurement model. The theme of creating, supporting, and promoting pro-environmental behavior (among the global themes) and the theme of enhancement of environmentally responsible behaviors of sports tourists (among the organizing themes) had the most significant effect with values of 0.56 and 0.57, respectively. ConclusionSports tourism contributes to the host society’s economic growth, cultural promotion, and enrichment. It is also considered important in environmental protection and greening of tourists’ behaviors. Many countries use mechanisms such as sports tourism to green tourists’ behaviors in order to face challenging environmental issues and problems. The findings of the study can offer important practical implications for the stakeholders in the sports tourism industry. The relationship between tourists’ green behaviors and environmental behaviors in tourist destinations creates a specific context with opportunities. One of the most fundamental topics in the field was found to be the global theme of creating, supporting, and promoting pro-environmental behaviors, which plays an essential role in sports tourism by influencing tourists’ green behavioral intentions. This theme emphasizes the significance of participation and interaction of sports tourists with the host community in order to promote greener behaviors, which in turn makes green consumption and measures a necessary part of their daily life. Another global theme is sustainable green engagement and communication which stresses a multi-faceted relationship with tourists and the local community. Moving towards greener behaviors among sports tourists and creating green destinations is not just an objective but a systematic and extensive process that requires much attention. Environmental education through media (e.g., television, newspapers, internet, social media, etc.) is needed to teach professional environmental practices to travelers and non-travelers. The environmental education helps tourists understand the importance of green behaviors. Destinations can thus help educate tourists by familiarizing them with environmental protection information. These measures can create interaction and participation as critical and valuable measures in the field. The attempt at greening of behaviors can thus help create environmentally responsible behaviors among tourists. Concerning the organizing themes, the theme of enhancement of environmentally responsible behaviors of sports tourists had the highest path coefficient effect. Environmentally responsible behavior refers to the cases in which a person or a group of people follow actions or behaviors that control environmental impact and are highly responsive to the environment and its subsequent issues. In addition to the preservation of the environment, such behaviors are necessary to maintain the growth of sports tourism.

The paper describes the problems of increasing the openness of information about environmental protection activities and meeting the requirements of environmental and industrial safety by domestic enterprises within the framework of their economic activities. The authors consider theoretical and methodological aspects of the organization of ecological accounting and the formation of environmental reporting. This is an effective tool for assessing the results achieved by using nature and environmental activities of the organization. Also, it improves the level of industrial safety and environmental culture at the enterprise, using disclosure and analysis of environmental factors of sustainable development of an economic entity. The research reveals the economic essence and gives the author’s interpretation of the definitions “environmental accounting”, “environmental reporting”, “natural capital”, “environmental obligation”. The authors tried to systematize the regulatory framework for the formation of environmental reporting from the perspective of stakeholders, as well as present the classification and systematization of environmental indicators of sustainable development of the organization included in integrated reporting. The study revealed the structure of the subsystem of environmental accounting and its place in the system of accounting and analytical support of an economic entity is determined. The authors proposed mechanisms for improving the accounting of environmental obligations, real and conditional costs for nature management and ecology. The methodological basis of the study comprised systematic and dialectical approaches, as well as a set of general scientific and special methods of cognition: observation, systematization and generalization, methods of classification and grouping. The object of the study was the reporting of the largest Russian enterprises of various industries.
Aim and introduction: One of the effective factors in the economic growth of countries is addressing the development dimensions of Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which nowadays are exist in a wide range of industries and manufacturing and service activities. Value creation of these businesses in the development of the industrial economy of the country and some critical factors such as the SME’s role in job creation and currency has led to a special look at improving the SMEs situation and providing various models consider to greater productivity and profitability. Regarding to creating synergy through cooperation is a new perspective that can be used in this field. Strategic alliance is a common type of cooperation in various dimensions of businesses aims to maximize the interests of all parties to provide a new synergy capacity between factories and companies in different industries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of the accomplishment of this issue / problem among the range of Meybod tile companies.Methodology: This study in terms of typology is developmentally and qualitatively and descriptive in nature.The method of data collection of this research is through library studies, lived experience of researchers, direct contact and interviews with government officials as well as managers and staff of Meybod tile factories. To analyze the research data, a focus group consisting of management experts who have lived experience in active collections of the tile industry has been used, the output of which has been the main research model. Also, to validate the model, the opinions of expert groups consisting of experts in the field of strategic management were used and finally the necessary approval was obtained. Then, a questionnaire containing the dimensions and elements of the model and the corresponding explanations of each was designed and presented to Meybod tile industry activists to assess the situation of this industry based on the designed model from their point of view.Findings: This research model includes three dimensions including "strategic depth of alliance", "degree of alliance in terms of operational value" and "necessary infrastructure for alliance", which are effective components in forming or strengthening each of these dimensions of strategic alliance. Some Factors that affect the degree of alliance in operational value aspect include agreeing on product pricing, sharing each company''s production volume, product and market sharing among members, and joint technology transfer and development. Factors such as intellectual alignment, strategic vision, mutual trust, technological similarities and production methods, relationship and conflict management, senior management cooperation, structural and capital affinities, and the experience of cooperation were also factors that overshadowed the necessary infrastructure for cooperation in Meybod tile industry. Finally, with according to quantity and quality of the components mentioned in the previous two dimensions, the strategic depth of alliance between Kashi Meybod companies is step by step, including identification of alliance opportunities, analysis of strategic alliance bottlenecks, partial alliance formation, comprehensive alliance formation and sustainable alliance.Discussion and Conclusion: The data Analysis shows the most fundamentally infrastructure weakness in or threshold competencies to enter the alliance among ceramic & tile companies is to consider to the field of strategy among these companies and then, the categories of relationship management, conflict management and trust between these companies. In terms of the degree of alliance, agreement on product pricing and action to conduct joint research and development in Meybod tile companies were identified as one of the most groundbreaking operational dimensions. In the third dimension of the model, which examines the depth of strategic alliance, according to the research results, along with the experimental observations of authors and interviews with industry activists, there is not much strategic alliance and therefore no specific depth can be considered.Also, environmental bottlenecks in organizational and managerial dimensions is the biggest challenge that has been placed on the formation of strategic alliances in Meybod tile companies, and then the economic and cultural bottlenecks deserve attention from Meybod tile companies, respectively. Also, scientific studies and field observations indicate that the managers of Meybod ceramic & tile companies are seriously concerned about the atmosphere of ambiguity and generally uncontrollable components in the alliance, which can also be found in the use of partner management mechanisms in the alliance.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created the single biggest technology revolution the world has ever seen. For the finance sector, it provides great opportunities to enhance customer experience, democratize financial services, ensure consumer protection and significantly improve risk management. While it is easier than ever to run state-of-the-art machine learning models, designing and implementing systems that support real-world finance applications have been challenging. In large part because they lack transparency and explainability which are important factors in establishing reliable technology and the research on this topic with a specific focus on applications in credit risk management. In this paper, we implement two advanced post-hoc model agnostic explainability techniques called Local Interpretable Model Agnostic Explanations (LIME) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to machine learning (ML)-based credit scoring models applied to the open-access data set offered by the US-based P2P Lending Platform, Lending Club. Specifically, we use LIME to explain instances locally and SHAP to get both local and global explanations. We discuss the results in detail and present multiple comparison scenarios by using various kernels available for explaining graphs generated using SHAP values. We also discuss the practical challenges associated with the implementation of these state-of-art eXplainabale AI (XAI) methods and document them for future reference. We have made an effort to document every technical aspect of this research, while at the same time providing a general summary of the conclusions.
In the trend of economic globalization, corporate responsibility is always concerned with economic growth. Responsibility accounting has important implications for enterprises in their growth. It contributes to the harmonization of interests among stakeholders. An enterprise complying with commitments, ensuring the implementation of responsibilities to communities and society, is an inevitable and objective trend. The objective of the paper is to examine the factors of profit ratio affecting compliance of corporate responsibility information. With a survey sample of 100 enterprises listed on Vietnam’s stock market, the paper uses data over the last five years in the period from 2016 to 2020. The results show that two independent variables have a positive effect on compliance of corporate responsibility accounting information, including return on equity and return on sales, in which return on sales has the strongest impact. Therefore, to strengthen the compliance with corporate responsibility information of Vietnamese listed enterprises, Vietnamese state agencies need to comply with international principles to issue appropriate regulations applicable to enterprises. Managers of Vietnamese listed enterprises need to raise awareness and demonstrate full responsibility including compliance with stakeholders.
ABSTRACT Zhang, C. and Shao, X., 2020. Research on intelligent analysis of port logistics information based on dynamic data mining. In: Bai, X. and Zhou, H. (eds.), Advances in Water Resources, Environmental Protection, and Sustainable Development. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 115, pp. 93-95. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Intelligent port logistics information analysis strategies and methods are of great value for improving port logistics information management and service quality, promoting the development of logistics information management theory, and promoting the application of information technology in logistics enterprises. With the gradual arrival of the data age, useful data behind a large amount of data needs to be mined. Data mining plays an important role in data analysis and is widely used in many fields. As the starting point and end point of maritime transportation, the junction point of various production factors and the junction point of important information, modern ports integrate commodity flow, information flow, capital flow and talent flow. In the long-term operation of port logistics, a large number of dynamic data have been accumulated. It has become a common cognition to strengthen the mining of these data values. According to the dynamic characteristics of port logistics information, this paper proposes an intelligent analysis strategy of port logistics information based on dynamic data mining technology.
ABSTRACT Hu, M., 2020. Analysis of and countermeasure for the continual turnover of young senior seafarers during the COVID-19 epidemic from a HRM perspective at a Chinese oceangoing shipping enterprise. In: Yang, D.F. and Wang, H. (eds.), Recent Advances in Marine Geology and Environmental Oceanography. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 108, pp. 317–321. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. As an occupational group outside the land, oceangoing seafarers can easily be neglected by society, especially during a social crisis. Few scholars have noticed that during the severe outbreak of coronavirus disease starting in 2019, there has been continual turnover of young Chinese senior mariners. These talented young employees are a core resource of the modern maritime industry, their departure will affect the sustainable development of shipping enterprises. This study, from a human resource management perspective, explores influencing reasons this group made such decisions and proposes some countermeasures and suggestions for shipping enterprises as a reference.
The paper examines ITSM (IT Service Management) which is based on the internationally accepted ITIL standard (IT Infrastructure Library). Within the domain of ITSM special attention is given to constant improvements in IS/IT services. The aim of the paper is to identify and characterise ITSM metrics and metrics models among which ITSM Maturity Models play an important role. Standard methods of scientific work such as analysis, synthesis, comparison and selection are used for the paper. The main findings are based on the analysis of literature proving the importance of effective IS/IT service management in supporting the business goals of enterprises and organisations. Several authors criticised the extent and detailed character of ITIL.They suggested solving the problems of SME sector by simplifying the processes of ITSM implementation. This is closely related to the proposed system of ITSM metrics and metrics models. The paper provides a detailed elaboration of complex metrics models together with a derived, reduced model with 8 main metrics and other often used tools for IS/IT services measurement, namely ITSM Maturity Models. They are applicable for both a diagnosis of the level of IS/IT services in the companies and eventual correction of plans and for benchmarking the enterprises within their specific branch.
