Knowledge management system as an efficient and sustainable strategy to minimize uncertainty in the process of risk assessment
Authors: Sun Jiaqi
Published: July 2024

Risk assessors could adopt qualitative, semi-quantitative, or quantitative approaches to analyze various risks; the combination of these approaches alleviates the shortcomings of risk assessment techniques, namely uncertainty, knowledge dimension, and time dynamics when techniques are used alone. The knowledge dimension plays a pivotal role in these shortcomings, as knowledge reduces uncertainty (United States Environmental Protection Agency [EPA], n.d.-a) and the timely knowledge update of global trends and emerging risks is expected to resolve the issue of time dynamics (another cause of uncertainty) by reassessing risks and characterizing risk data over a time interval (Wassénius & Crona, 2022). However, substantial research and development are required to generate adequate modeling and analytical methods to deal with different and complex systems. Based on the literature review and industry best practices, the study develops a risk assessment knowledge management system framework that focuses on the root of the shortcomings of risk assessment techniques, namely the knowledge dimension; this strategy is efficient and sustainable by indirectly addressing the unresolved issues of uncertainty and time dynamics through the knowledge dimension. The conceptual framework minimizes the uncertainty (the root of risk) in the decision-making process of selecting the appropriate risk assessment tools and effectively implementing them.

Promoting sound fiscal policies and sustainable economic growth is a global priority, including in Nepal. This study analyzes the effect of fiscal and macroeconomic imbalances on the Nepalese economy from 2006–2007 to 2020–2021. Utilizing time series data, the study examines the relationship between gross domestic product (GDP), budget deficit, trade deficit, and foreign direct investment (FDI). The augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test confirms variables’ stationarity at the first difference, with long-term relationships analyzed through the Johansen cointegration test (JCT) and short-term changes captured by the error correction model (ECM). Short-term economic growth (i.e., GDP) exhibits a negative correlation with the budget deficit and a positive correlation with the trade deficit and FDI, though not statistically significant (p > 0.05). However, these variables are cointegrated in the long run, emphasizing their interconnectedness and potential linear combination. The error correcting term (-0.034) indicates a convergence speed of 3.4 percent towards long-term equilibrium. Additionally, diagnostic tests confirm the stability of coefficients in the employed models. The results align with Ahmad et al. (2013) in Pakistan but contrast with Aung (2017) in Myanmar, suggesting that while a trade deficit may stimulate short-term growth, its prolonged existence could potentially harm the nation’s economic growth in the long term.

Authors: Sun Rui , Wang Jianxing , Li Meng , Li Jingen , Pan Yi , Liu Birong , Y. H. Lip Gregory , Zhang Lijing
Published: July 2024

Background: The association of insulin resistance (IR) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains unclear.

Purpose: To investigate whether IR is associated with CVD and all-cause mortality among individuals with T1D.

Data Sources: PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to 31 October 2023.

Study Selection: Observational studies reporting the associations between IR, as calculated by estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), and the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality in individuals with T1D were eligible for inclusion.

Data Extraction: Data from 8 selected studies were extracted, pooled by random- effects models, and results were presented as hazard ratios (95% CI).

Data Synthesis: Eight studies involving 21,930 individuals were included, of which 5 studies involving 19,960 T1D individuals reported the risk of CVD. During a median follow-up of 10 years, there were 2,149 cases of incident CVD. The pooled hazard ratio for composite CVD outcome per 1-unit increase in the eGDR index was 0.83 (95% CI 0.78–0.90, I2 = 58.9%). Five studies involving 19,403 T1D individuals reported the risk of all-cause mortality. During a median follow-up of 10 years, 1,279 deaths were observed. The pooled hazard ratio for all-cause mortality per 1-unit increase in the eGDR index was 0.84 (95% CI 0.81–0.87, I2 = 0%).

Limitations: The small number of available studies restricted our ability to perform meta-regression analyses or more detailed subgroup analyses.

Conclusions: IR, as calculated by eGDR, may be an additional risk factor for CVD and all-cause mortality in T1D.

Authors: Xiao Rongshi , Guo Shihui , Zheng Min , Zhu Baoqi , Wu Qiang , Xu Jiejie , Huang Ting
Published: July 2024

Wire laser direct energy deposition enables the mass production of large-scale industrial components and parts. However, energy utilization efficiency is limited in conventional wire laser material deposition to avoid keyhole defects, resulting in a low deposition efficiency. This work presents a high-efficiency wire laser material deposition process that increases energy utilization by generating a keyhole in the filler wire, which can also avoid the keyhole defects in the deposited sample. The influence of process parameters on deposition quality and efficiency was thoroughly examined to determine the process window. A high deposition efficiency of 0.87 kg/(h kW) for 316L stainless steel was achieved with a laser power of 3 kW, approximately three times that of the conventional wire laser material deposition process. The defect-free multitrack and multilayer deposition demonstrated the feasibility of our proposed high-efficiency process.

The Chilean Dream: the case of Jesus, an unaccompanied young migrant. An ethnographic note
Authors: Soto Iskra Pavez , Lopez Juan Ortiz
Published: July 2024

The migration of unaccompanied children and adolescents from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Venezuela to countries such as the United States, Mexico and Chile has raised concerns due to the unique challenges they face. These adolescents are seeking opportunities for education, work and family reunification, fleeing adverse contexts in their places of origin. The political crisis in Venezuela has increased the emigration of unaccompanied adolescents to countries such as Colombia, Chile and the United States. Research has examined the factors that influence migration decisions, mental health challenges and coping strategies of these young people. The vulnerability of these children is exacerbated by the lack of legal frameworks and essential services. The case of Jesús, a young Venezuelan migrant, illustrates the difficulties faced by Unaccompanied Foreign Minors (UFMs) on their journey. Improving child protection mechanisms, ensuring access to education and health care, and creating a supportive environment are crucial steps to ensure the well-being of this vulnerable population. International cooperation, improved policies and sustainable solutions are essential to protect the rights and dignity of all migrant children.
The Dynamic Classroom for Medical Education: A Tech-Enabled, Data-Driven Version of the Flipped Classroom
Authors: MC Mayrath , F Abdelbaset , D Fontanez , B Lenihan , D Lenihan
Published: July 2024

The U.S. healthcare system faces a crisis, especially in low-income and rural areas, due to a projected shortage of 37,800 to 124,000 physicians by 2034, a lack of demographic representation among physicians, and a gap in health sciences students graduating to meet the demand for services. To address these issues, the authors propose a pathway program coupled with a predictive analytics platform, piloted at Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU) with the MD program & the Master of Science in Medical Sciences (MSMS) program. The 10-year R&D project aims to increase diversity in the physician workforce. This Case Study highlights PHSU’s teaching method, the Dynamic Classroom, which is a modified version of the flipped classroom model that uses synchronous class time for low-stakes assessments and real-time evaluations. Students debate quiz questions, identify knowledge gaps, and engage in an active learning environment. Evidence shows comparable USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 performance between pathway and non-pathway students. Despite challenges and costs, the Dynamic Classroom teaching method demonstrates potential for improving medical education and potentially other domains. Future steps include expanding the data set to include new cohorts and developing a network of pathway programs to address physician workforce diversity nationwide.
Bifurcation of the Radial Nerve in the Arm as a Cause of Traumatic Partial Nerve Palsy: A Case Report
Authors: CK Yiannakopoulos
Published: July 2024

Purpose: To describe the case of a traumatic partial nerve palsy following an open crushing arm injury. The partial palsy was due to the presence of radial nerve bifurcation in the proximal arm. Methods: A 23-year-old male was involved in a motor vehicle accident, where his motorbike crushed against a steel road divider sustaining multiple injuries in the spine, thorax, and right arm. On clinical examination, the patient presented a deep, blunt trauma on the posterior aspect of the proximal arm and partial radial nerve palsy was diagnosed with preservation of the brachioradialis and the extensor radialis longus muscle function. Surgical exploration was carried out. Results: An extensible posterior approach to the arm was performed and two main radial nerve branches were found. The lateral, more sizeable nerve, had an epineural hematoma without any distal response during intraoperative stimulation. The medial, thinner nerve trunk was preserved and, when stimulated, elicited response from the brachioradialis. Conclusion: We describe an uncommon variation of the radial nerve which was associated with partial palsy following blunt force trauma. This anatomical variation should be kept in mind in cases like the one described.
The Benevolent Wen-Hepatocellular Adenoma
Authors: A Bajaj
Published: July 2024

Hepatocellular adenoma emerges as a benign, solitary neoplasm of hepatocellular origin preponderantly arising within non cirrhotic hepatic parenchyma. Lesion occurs secondary to obesity, metabolic syndrome and consumption of anabolic steroids or non-contraceptive oestrogen supplements. Concurrent to genetic mutations, hepatocellular adenoma is categorized as hepatocellular adenoma associated with HNF1A genetic mutation, hepatocellular adenoma associated with β catenin genetic mutation, inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma, sonic hedgehog (SHH) hepatocellular adenoma or hepatocellular adenoma, not otherwise specified. Cytological assessment exhibits bland, uniform hepatocytes permeated with regular nuclei and decimated nucleocytoplasmic ratio. Tumefaction may display a pseudo-acinar arrangement, foci of steatosis and attenuated, mildly thickened one to two cell thick cell plates with a well-defined perimeter and characteristic unpaired arterial configurations. Hepatocellular adenoma appears immune reactive to HepPar1 or reticulin and immune non-reactive to glypican 3, CD34 or HSP70. Neoplasm requires segregation from neoplasms such as focal nodular hyperplasia, well differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma, mass effect due to an adjacent mass lesion, haemangioma, lymphoma, echinococcal cyst, hepatoblastoma, and localized fatty change or metastatic lesions arising from various primaries, confined to hepatic parenchyma. Hepatocellular adenoma may be appropriately managed with surgical extermination.

An Empirical Study on the Efficiency of China's Convertible Bond Market
Authors: Zhao Bin , Wu Yi
Published: July 2024

Since 2017, with the increased demand for margin financing and securities lending in the capital market and the improvement of relevant regulations, China's convertible bond market has experienced a boom. As of March 9, 2024, China has issued a total of 823 convertible bonds, amounting to 1.3 trillion yuan. The stock of convertible bonds has expanded from 24 bonds totalling 55.9 billion yuan at the end of 2016 to 553 bonds totalling 853.3 billion yuan. The importance of convertible bonds in the capital market has become increasingly prominent, becoming an essential part of financial tool diversification and market development. However, academic research on the convertible bond market is relatively scarce, mostly focusing on pricing mechanisms, financing effects, and the impact on the underlying stock prices, with little attention paid to the market itself. This paper uses runs tests, autocorrelation tests, and variance ratio tests to analyze the efficiency of China's convertible bond market. By examining whether the daily returns of the convertible bond index follow a random walk, the paper tests if the market is weak-form efficient. The results show that China's convertible bond market has not reached weak-form efficiency. Subsequently, a new index sample was created from the top ten convertible bonds by trading volume in May 2024, and its daily returns were tested for adherence to the random walk model. The results were compared to the overall market's convertible bond index returns in the same period of 2023 to identify factors influencing market efficiency, providing directions and insights for future research.

The analysis of the being, based on the thinking process of the single human, shows that the experimental observation of the causal unity of the categories meter, kilogram, second, ampere is related only to the square of time. The further analysis of this important observation results in the finding of the mental feeling effect of the human, yielding the feeling effects of harmony, of beauty, of love and also of hate. These effects are related only to the linearity of time. The fundamental difference between the human and the animals is described by the observed independence of the animals on the mental feeling effect.
IS THE PUBLICATION LEGAL/LAW/JUDICIAL?
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Haladzhun Zoryana
Published: July 2024

The problem of clarifying the correct use of the concepts of legal, law, and judicial for a clear purpose is currently in the field of interest of legal scholars, linguists, and terminologists. Communicators are also involved in the detailed study of this issue, for whom clarifying this issue is important and necessary for further media research of various kinds. The disagreement among scholars on the use of these concepts is explained, in our opinion, primarily by the not entirely clear establishment of the general term field in the domain of judicial («legal») science. The purpose of the research was to determine the correctness of word usage in the selfidentification of legal/law/judicial publications. In order to achieve this goal, we emphasize the need to fulfill the following tasks: – to distinguish self-titles in the description of legal/law/judicial publications; – to establish the linguistic features of the concepts of «legal», «law», «judicial» and the peculiarities ofscientific and practical discourse on this issue. As we have seen from the titles and descriptions of the publications, some of them contain the term «judicial» and others «legal» or «law». In the course of the study, we have identified the opinions of journalism scholars, philologists, and lawyers, both academics and practitioners, on the correctness of using these words in defining the intended purpose of the publication. The specialized press, which is based on the need to provide information services to a motivated reader (a narrow-profile specialist or a generalist), mostly uses the above concepts as equivalent. In our opinion, it is worth noting that publications for lawyers that contain professional information presented in an official business style (standardized, accurate and concise, containing stamps and clichés, straightforward word order, etc.) should be more appropriately called law media, and publications that contain information about law (legal relations) presented in a journalistic style of speech should be called legal media, and those that contain texts of regulatory legal acts and their explanations should be called judicial media In view of this, we consider that it is necessary to draw the attention of communicators to the need for a broader professional discussion of the problem of using specialized terminology in media research, taking into account the work ofscholars analyzed in our study.
THE HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINIAN SOCIAL NETWORKS AND MESSENGERS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE FOR JOURNALISTS
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Mudra Iryna
Published: July 2024

Social networks and messengers have become an integral part of our lives. In the work of journalists, they play a significant role, because with their help, they not only search for information, communicate with the heroes of the materials, but also become an opportunity to promote media production and build an image. Journalists are constantly looking for promising social platforms to inform the audience. In Ukraine, as in the world, popular social platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, X, TikTok, Youtube) are mostly used, but each country has its own local social networks and messengers that are aimed at the local population. And in Ukraine, there are also social platforms that were created by Ukrainians and for Ukrainians in order to unite them on one resource. Ukrainian social networks and messengers emerged in the early 2000s and have their own development history. In this study, we analyzed and showed how social platforms for Ukrainians emerged and developed, what contributed to their emergence. Formed a list of Ukrainian social networks and messengers in a table. Three periods of the emergence of Ukrainian social networks were also proposed: 2005–2013, 2014–2021 and 2022 and until today. Each period of emergence is associated with important periods in our history. We consider 1ua.com.ua, which appeared in 2005, to be the first Ukrainian social network. The study showed that there were significantly more social networks than messengers. We also considered whether Ukrainian social platforms have prospects for development. During the research, it was possible to learn about the functioning of 71 Ukrainian social networks and 6 messengers that were created and launched during the years 2005–2023. By Ukrainian social networks and messengers we mean those platforms that were created by Ukrainians and, for the most part, for Ukrainians.
MODERN RUSSIAN MUSIC AS A TOOL FOR THE SPREAD OF PRO-RUSSIAN NARRATIVES: FEATURES AND WAYS OF COUNTERACTION FROM UKRAINE
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Semen Natalia
Published: July 2024

Over the course of two years of full-scale war, numerous studies demonstrate that a portion of Ukraine’s population still maintains an interest in Russian-language musical products. This has a particularly negative impact on the consciousness of such citizens and supports the armed aggression of the Russian Federation. Through the monetization of music streaming on various platforms, funds flow into Russia’s budget, which it then uses to purchase weapons for its war against Ukraine. Music is enjoyed by different generations of people, regardless of age, status, or nationality. That is why it is one of the most effective means of spreading propaganda. It is unobtrusive, designed for easy perception and relaxation. This manipulation tactic of audience consciousness can be observed even during World War II. Most Russian songs predominantly celebrate everyday phenomena, various forms of leisure, or depict the grandeur of love and other emotions. However, in Russia, there are types of songs that propagate narratives such as the idealization and romanticization of Russian President V. Putin, calls for patriotism, reminders that everyone living in Russia and speaking Russian is part of the «great Russian people», emphasis on the greatness and power of Russia, and portraying the country as always victorious, urging participation in the military. Ukrainian media researchers need to regularly and carefully monitor the emergence of such compositions and the narratives they spread. They have a particularly negative impact on the consciousness of Ukrainian citizens, especially those residing in temporarily occupied territories of our country. The dissemination of propaganda through songs is a widespread and at the same time insidious method of influencing society. Russia actively uses it and unfortunately, quite successfully, as evidenced by numerous studies showing that Ukrainians still listen to Russian music on many online platforms.
PRECISENESS OF WORD USAGE IN THE MEDIA TEXT AS ONE OF THE FACTORS OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Datsyshyn Сhrystyna
Published: July 2024

Media text is a type of text directly connected with reality. The method of verbal representation of reality depends on the journalist’s language competence, the ability to choose the appropriate word to denote a subject, process or phenomenon, the ability to combine words into phrases and sentences based on semantic and logical compatibility. At the level of the text, the corresponding feature is the preciseness of word usage. Texts which do not comply with the principle of preciseness of word usage, contain incorrect code and cannot be correctly decoded, therefore they are ineffective, as they are not able to inform the recipient and to influence him. The analysis of media texts revealed that non-compliance with the requirement of preciseness of word usage causes various communicative barriers. An incorrectly chosen word can create an emotional load of the text that does not correspond to the content of the message. On the other hand, the flaw is emotionlessness, neutral expressive tone, indifference, lack of empathy contrary to the facts reflected in the media text. In both cases, the media text will dissonance with the emotions caused by its content, because a false code of pragmatic information is embedded here. Comprehension of the media text can be complicated due to incorrect coding of subject-logical information: using a word or a idioms in improper context; confusion of the word meanings and not only linguistic and logical, but also factual errors as a result; logical deviations due to incorrectly selected or redundant conjunctions, excessive or insufficient word usage; not taking into account the meanings that arise at the word combination level; errors of automatic translation. Non-observance of the principle of preciseness of word usage can lead to non-textual communicative barriers: the recipient may lose confidence in the journalist’s language and even professional competence, lose confidence in the publication or the media in general.

Thiamine responsive megaloblastic anemia (Rogers syndrome) in a three-year-old child
Authors: Konyukhova TV , Trukhina EV
Published: July 2024

Thiamine responsive megaloblastic anemia (TRMA), or Rogers syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the development of megaloblastic anemia, diabetes mellitus, and progressive sensorineural hearing loss. In some cases, the syndrome causes ophthalmological disorders (retinitis pigmentosa, optic nerve atrophy, maculopathy, nystagmus), heart diseases (paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, congenital heart defects, intracardiac conduction disorders) and neurological disorders (epilepsy, cerebrovascular accidents). TRMA develops due to a mutation in the SLC19A2 gene, which encodes ThTr-1 (thiamine transporter protein) expressed in hematopoietic stem cells, pancreatic beta cells, and inner ear cells. The article presents a clinical case of TRMA in a three-year-old child, with the onset in the first year of life, manifesting as anemia and diabetes mellitus. Thiamine therapy ensured a pronounced positive dynamics: the patient's peripheral blood parameters normalized. The clinical description and the literature review herein aim to raise awareness of doctors of all specialties about this syndrome. An atypical clinical picture and lack of knowledge about TRMA often delay the diagnosis and start of therapy.

Published: July 2024

Research background: In the rapidly evolving milieu of digital entrepreneurship, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, exemplified by ChatGPT, has witnessed burgeoning prominence. However, there remains a dearth of understanding regarding the relationships between ChatGPT adoption in entrepreneurship and individuals’ cognitive career processes of digital entrepreneurship.
Purpose of the article: The primary aim of the research is to adopt the Social Cognitive Career Theory and a moderated mediation model to unravel the intricate dynamics that characterize the impact of ChatGPT adoption in entrepreneurship and digital entrepreneurial intentions, underlying a moderated mediation mechanism of digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy and technostress.
Methods: Drawing on the sample of 1326 respondents in Vietnam using a stratified sampling approach, first, Cronbach’s alpha and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the reliability and validity of scales; after that, Harman’s single-factor and common latent factor were employed to test the common method bias; finally, the PROCESS macro approach was utilized to test the hypothesized model.
Findings & value added: Our findings reveal positive impacts of ChatGPT adoption in entrepreneurship on digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy and digital entrepreneurial intentions. Moreover, digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy is found to significantly mediate the impact of ChatGPT adoption in entrepreneurship on digital entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, technostress emerges as a significant negative moderator, influencing the impact of ChatGPT adoption in entrepreneurship on both digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy and intentions. This study thus contributes to the literature by advancing our understanding of how AI technologies shape entrepreneurial aspirations, offering valuable insights for scholars and practitioners navigating the transformative landscape of digital entrepreneurship.

Research background: Economic freedom plays a pivotal role in ensuring the progressive productivity of banks. It fosters a favorable economic climate and acts as a catalyst for the generation of innovative ideas. In addition, economic freedom allows new domestic and foreign entrants in the banking sector which leads to increased competition as well as wider range of product offerings and thus potentially affect bank efficiency.
Purpose of the article: This study aims to identify the effects of regulatory efficiency and market openness in terms of economic freedom on the bank’s productivity at three income levels: lower-middle, upper-middle, and high-income economies.
Methods: A sample of 15 countries are included in the study from differing income levels. The study uses the data envelopment analysis (DEA) based Malmquist productivity index (MPI) approach to measure banks’ productivity. This non-parametric approach measures the relative efficiency of banks by considering the production change while taking into account technical efficiency change and technological change in order to capture a comprehensive view over time. Then, regression analysis was performed utilizing the ordinary least squares (OLS) approach, fixed effect (FE), and random effect (RE) panel multiple regression estimation methods are utilized to measure economic freedoms and other determinants’ effect on banks’ productivity change over time. 
Findings & value added: The results show that banks in high-income economies are more productive and have higher growth rates than those in upper- and lower-income economies. Furthermore, starting, obtaining permits, and closing businesses under business freedom have a detrimental effect on banks’ output, whereas the effects of labor freedom on employing, managing, and supervising staff members have a substantial favorable impact on banks’ productivity. Moreover, financial freedom and investment freedom under the market openness dimension negatively influence banks’ productivity. Government intervention is required to introduce regulations that allow foreign countries to provide labor at lower wages, introduce tax allowances, and control inflation rates. Thus, the empirical results of this study will benefit regulators and policymakers in developing a system and plan to increase banks’ productivity based on indicators of business, labor, financial, and investment freedom.
Concave and convex effects of ESG performance on corporate sustainable development: Evidence from China
Authors: Zhang XueHui , Miao Le , Mu Guoying , Wu Kun-Shan
Published: July 2024

Research background: Corporate sustainable development (CSD) is essential to a company's success and survival. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) are regarded as major factors in measuring the impact of CSD. Companies that perform well in terms of ESG can maintain a competitive advantage and achieve sustainable development. Poor management of ESG performance and involvement in controversial activity can harm a company's credibility and reputation in the market, as well as negatively impact sustainable development.
Purpose of the article: Drawing on the stakeholder and signaling theories, this paper investigates the curvilinear nexus between ESG performance and CSD.
Methods: Empirical studies were conducted on a sample of 697 Chinese listed manufacturing firms that disclosed ESG information from 2010 to 2020, with a total of 5699 firm-year observations. Quantile regression analysis and the U-test were used to examine the curvilinear ESG-CSD relationship. This technique was supplemented by conducting instrumental variables tests and propensity score matching to address concerns relating to the potential existence of endogeneity problems.
Findings & value added: The results of the quantile regression estimation confirm the concave-convex (inverted U-shaped and U-shaped) ESG-CSD relationship via the U-test. The relationships between the environmental and social components and CSD follow an inverted U-shaped or half-inverted U-shaped pattern, while the relationship between the governance component and CSD exhibits a concave-convex pattern. A concave ESG-CSD nexus is evident in environmentally sensitive industries, whereas a half concave-convex ESG-CSD nexus is confirmed in non-environmentally sensitive industries. This study improves scholars’ understanding of ESG performance and provides a comprehensive perspective on the double-edged effects (positive and negative consequences) of ESG practices. The instrumentalization of ESG practices for management to seek personal gain has a negative impact on CSD, while ESG practices that add value for stakeholders have a positive impact. These findings provide empirical evidence for Chinese publicly listed manufacturing firms to effectively conduct ESG practices.
