The purpose of this study is to look into the impact of legal auditors (LA) on financial report quality (FRQ) in Jordanian companies. Therefore, the study population is the statutory auditors, and the sample size was 219 to be a representative sample. To select the sample, a simple, purposeful random sample was used to select their emails from the list received from the association above. Furthermore, 326 questionnaires were distributed through the online survey; contact information was obtained through the Jordanian Association of Certified Public Accountants. As a result, 229 responses were received, 92 questionnaires were excluded due to outliers, and thus the study sample included 137 LAs. The hypothesis testing results reveal that all examined constructs’ commitment to professional standards, independence and integrity, LA, legal and accounting knowledge, and responsibility and ethics have significant positive effects on the quality of financial reports. Among these, the LA construct has the most substantial impact, followed by legal and accounting knowledge, highlighting the crucial roles these factors play in ensuring high-quality financial reporting in Jordanian companies. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining high standards of professionalism, understanding, independence, integrity, and moral behavior among LAs to enhance FRQ.

Published: February 2025

Portfolio management has become an essential area of study because of the introduction of artificial intelligence in managing portfolios in a given financial market where risks and returns are dynamic. This study aims to identify the extent of the adoption of AI in portfolio management and investigate the performance of AI models over conventional economic models. The study utilizes both quantitative survey questionnaires and qualitative interviews. The conceptual frameworks refer to the Modern Portfolio Theory, Behavioral Finance, Technology Acceptance Model, and Digital Governance framework. The qualitative results also indicate that portfolio managers understand the importance of using AI to improve portfolio optimization, risk management data, and predictive statistics. However, they also have critical explicit aspects about the data quality, interpretability/understanding of the model, and ethical issues. The quantitative analysis aims to investigate the influence of AI integration, behavioral biases, and perceived ease of use on the effectiveness of AI in portfolio management. AI implementation has a large influence on portfolio performance where the behavioral biases moderate adoption (Coefficients = 0.0075 and direct impact = 0.1235). Digital governance alters the interaction, enhancing the influence of AI (Effect = 0.5215; P < 0.001). Overall, AI enhances decision-making and portfolio selection, but concerns remain about data quality and technology application. Digital governance and human input are crucial for optimizing AI use in finance, despite concerns about data quality.
Biopolitisierung in der Lebensphase Jugend und junges Erwachsenenalter
Authors: Heckes Kolja Tobias
Published: February 2025

Der Sozialen Arbeit fehlt der systematische Anschluss an „den“ Biopolitik-Diskurs. Gerade in jungen Lebenswelten nimmt die aktive Auseinandersetzung mit jenen Macht-formen, die als biopolitisch zu bezeichnen sind – also solchen, die den Körper betreffen – eine zunehmend zentrale Stellung ein. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden ausgehend von biopolitisch gelesenen Aneignungsprozessen in jungen Communitys Merkmale der Disziplin und Profession Sozialer Arbeit an Charakteristika von Biopolitik-Diskursen gespiegelt, um aufzuzeigen, dass beide – Soziale Arbeit und Biopolitik – von ähnlichen grundlegenden Fragen und Wirkungsebenen geprägt sind. Detaillierter nachgezeichnet wird daraufhin die Biopolitik-Architektur nach Michel Foucault. Dabei wird, insbesondere in Bezug auf Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene, deutlich, dass Soziale Arbeit Biopolitik entlang ihrer eigenen Kontingenzen, Erkenntnisgrundlagen und Funktionslogiken grund-legend reflektieren muss. Abschließend wird die Frage gestellt, ob „Jugend“ nicht an sich eine biopolitisch geprägte Subjektivation ist.

Experimental Investigation of the Influence of Grain Size Distribution and Sediment Disposition on Local Scour Around Bridge Pier
Authors: Terfous Abdelali , Ghenaim Abdellah
Published: February 2025

Scour around bridge piers due to flooding is the leading cause of bridge failure. Numerous numerical and experimental studies have investigated local scour under various sediment properties, pier geometries, and hydraulic conditions. In this paper, we present the results of an experimental study on the influence of sediment grain-size distribution and disposition on local scour around a circular bridge pier. The study aims to qualitatively evaluate how various factors, particularly grain size distribution and sediment disposition, affect local scour in open-channel flow. Four factors were tested: flow rate, channel slope, grain size distribution, and sediment disposition. Results show that both sediment properties and their arrangement significantly impact the maximum scour depth. While channel slope also affects local scour, its influence is less pronounced than that of flow rate. The most significant changes in scour volume are attributed to sediment disposition in the channel. These findings highlight the critical role of sediment composition and arrangement in bridge pier scour mitigation and provide valuable insights for riverbed protection and hydraulic structure design.
A mixed methods approach to evaluate community (citizen) science as a tool to support nature’s benefits assessments in the UK: a systematic review and survey of community scientists
Authors: Mascia Raphaella , Smith Alison , Malhi Yadvinder , Crockatt Martha
Published: February 2025

1) Developing methods for valuing nature aim to address biodiversity and environmental crises caused by nature’s undervaluation in decision-making. However, implementing methods to assess nature’s benefits is challenging for a myriad of reasons. 2) We explored whether community science (CS) could support a more holistic assessment of nature’s benefits on a national scale using a mixed-methods approach, featuring a systematic review of UK CS and a survey of UK community scientists, comparing UK national guidance on nature’s benefits with national CS projects and scientist experience. Our study is the first to: (a) combine a systematic review and survey to examine the relationship between UK CS and nature’s benefits, (b) assess community scientists’ perceptions of CS and nature’s benefits nationally, and (c) evaluate links between national nature’s benefits guidance, current CS programs, and community scientist experience. 3) Both the systematic review and the survey found that while few UK CS projects directly assess nature’s benefits, numerous programs indirectly relate to nature’s benefits, most often through assessing biodiversity. Furthermore, community scientists supported further expanding and integrating CS as a supplementary approach for assessing nature’s benefits, albeit with some caveats. 4) However, both the review and the survey also revealed substantial dissonance between national guidance on nature’s benefits, the CS academic literature, and community scientist experiences and perceptions of nature’s benefits, specifically for benefits from culture and recreation, soils and minerals, and aquatic environments. 5) In light of the highlighted discrepancies, our results suggest CS is a valuable tool for engaging local communities in assessing benefits of nature to people, nevertheless, future research and policy should better integrate CS into nature benefit’s assessments and vice versa. Addressing existing gaps in CS and widening CS methods to be more inclusive of pluralistic nature valuation methods and concepts is also crucial for wider application of CS related to nature’s benefits assessments.
Creativity in an AI-Driven World: What Do We Fear?
Authors: Samia Moustaghfir  , Atimade Chankob
Published: February 2025

As educators and policymakers address the wide-ranging challenges of AI integration into educational frameworks, a compelling dichotomy emerges: does AI act as a catalyst for fostering intellectual growth and academic innovation, or does it present a threat to the creative autonomy of students? This study examines the layered relationship between AI, education, and creativity, focusing on how university students in Morocco utilize AI tools across three key domains: writing mechanics (spelling, grammar, and vocabulary), academic planning and outlining, and creative idea generation. Drawing on a mixed-methods approach, data was collected from 130 university students across a range of higher institutions. The findings indicate that, while students frequently use AI for non-creative tasks such as enhancing writing mechanics and structuring their academic work, they rely much less on AI for generating original or creative ideas. This suggests that concerns about AI suppressing creativity may be overstated. Furthermore, a systematic review of literature published between 2021 and 2024 provides a comprehensive analysis of broader apprehensions regarding AI's role in the humanities. The findings offer critical insights into the opportunities and challenges posed by AI, highlighting the need for careful consideration of its ethical implications, as well as the impact on academic freedom and innovation. Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of striking a balance between embracing AI’s transformative potential and safeguarding creative autonomy in the educational sphere.

PUNISHABILITY IN RADIOECOLOGICAL SAFETY: CASE LAW FROM UKRAINE
Authors: Ternavska Anastasiia
Published: February 2025

Background:
The dangerous nature of illegal activities in the field of radioecological safety underscores the pressing need to prevent and deter the negative consequences of using nuclear and radioactive materials, to avert the threat of their occurrence, and to counteract criminal practices of this category, in particular through their criminalisation. This article aims to provide suitable analytical support for such activity, focusing primarily on identifying the most appropriate framework for punishability that aligns with the nature and degree of social danger posed by these actions and their legal consequences.
Methods:
A dialectical method of cognition was employed to investigate and substantiate the fundamental concepts examined in this article. Statistical methods were utilised to analyse judicial statistics for this category of cases and calculate the relevant indicators. A sociological method was applied to conduct a content analysis and generalise judicial practice. The logical-legal method was used to develop and substantiate ways to improve the sanctions under examination.
Results and conclusions:
Based on official statistical data (Prosecutor General’s Office and the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine), a long-term criminological analysis of the studied crimes was conducted. It determined absolute, average, and relative values, as well as indicators reflecting the ratio between recorded criminal offences, individuals whose court decisions entered into legal force during the reporting period, and convicted persons—both overall and for specific types of the studied offences. Key indicators of criminal conviction were determined, including conviction rates and structural composition, categorised by type of punishment and criminal offence. The research results revealed a significant gap between the types and amount of punishments provided for by the sanctions of the criminal-legal provisions under study and the factual punishability.
