Published: March 2024

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the impact of interest rate, exchange rate, and market on the returns and volatility of the stocks of banks listed on the Brazilian Stock Exchange. This analysis used two statistical models: the linear model estimated using Ordinary Least Squares and the ARCH/GARCH time series volatility models. The econometric studies considered the daily data of 15 financial institutions listed on the stock exchange during the period from January 2009 to December 2021. Regarding the market effect, the Ibovespa index for the period was considered; for the interest rate, the CDI (Certificate of Interbank Deposit) was used; and, about the exchange rate, the dollar rate was adopted as a reference. The results indicate that the distribution of stock returns is asymmetrical, with an elongated tail on the right. It was observed, based on the econometric model applied, that the daily returns of the shares are significantly influenced by the market, and the interest rate exerts the least impact on the returns. These findings are relevant to the scientific community exploring the topic and provide valuable insights for bankers, analysts, market investors, regulatory authorities, and society in the decision-making process.

Authors: Zotikov Nikolay Z.
Published: March 2024

In conditions of insufficient own funds, the absence of external sources of investment financing, and a significant proportion of unprofitable enterprises, the role and importance of depreciation charges as the most sustainable source of financial resources of the organization increases. The importance of profit increases not only for enterprises, but also for regional budgets, since income tax is one of the important sources of their income. The article examines depreciation policy as an integral part of business financial planning and management. The study showed that in the regions a small number of enterprises use the opportunities provided by Chapter 25 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation to optimize income taxes through an active depreciation policy, the relevance of which increases due to the obsolescence of the equipment fleet at enterprises and the low level of its renewal. The purpose of the article is to study depreciation policy and the extent to which optimization methods are used in the regions. The study used methods generally accepted in economics: analysis and synthesis, grouping, generalization, dynamics, tabular, etc. The study is based on official data from Rosstat, the Ministry of Finance, etc. The results of the study can be used in developing depreciation policy at the enterprise as part of the accounting policy for the purposes taxation. The study established: depreciation policy has not yet become an effective tool for stimulating investment activity in the activities of business entities.

Population migration to other cities and countries can significantly impact demographics and fiscal policy, subsequently leading to the weakening of the economy in sending regions. Despite numerous studies demonstrating the significant influence of social and economic factors on the formation of migration intentions, new data in this field continues to emerge, which has not yet been systematically organized. This study aims to systematize and detail the socio-economic predictors of migration intentions through a theoretical review of research, including the latest works. Based on the analyzed literature, five categories of socio-economic predictors of migration intentions were identified: demographic, economic, socio-psychological, political, and cultural. This research contributes to a more detailed understanding of socio-economic predictors of migration intentions, enabling more precise decision-making in the development of government policies aimed at managing migration flows.
Theoretical Approaches to Rating Assessment of the Economic Component of Security of Sustainable Development of Old Industrial Regions
Authors: Markov Yuriy S.
Published: March 2024

The old industrial regions, for the most part, are classified as the main “losers” in the context of globa­lization and the development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. However, the examples of some of them clearly demonstrate that such a status is not an insurmountable obstacle to future progress. Adaptability and the formation of “new combinations” based on the interconnection of local and global trends can generate specific advantages that can give a powerful impetus to development. This requires an adequate assessment of the existing potential of the regions and a reliable analysis of all their advantages and disadvantages. In this context, the purpose of the article is to substantiate the approach to the rating assessment of the economic component of the security of sustainable development of the old industrial region. In the course of the study, it was substantiated that the main threats to the economic security of the regions are outdated infrastructure, insufficient development of human capital, industry imbalance, weak business culture, remoteness from major markets, and weak capacity of the public sector to implement regional development solutions. The following criteria for selecting indicators for forming a rating for asses­sing the economic security of an old industrial region have been identified: relevance, reliability, validity, reliability, feasibility. The author’s approach to formalizing the areas of assessment of the economic component of the security of sustainable development of an old industrial region, as well as corresponding indicators, has been developed.

The Largest Urban Agglomerations of the Ural Federal District: Comparative Analysis
Authors: Antonyuk Valentina S. , Benz Daria S.
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the study of urban agglomeration processes in the territory of the Ural Federal District. The purpose of the article is to assess the development of the largest urban agglomerations of the Ural Federal District. The authors included in the sample three urban agglomerations, the core of which are the capital centers of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation located in the Urals: Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk and Tyumen urban agglomerations. The research methods are fundamental research methods (abstraction and generalization, systematic approach, structural and functional method, comparative analysis method, etc.), as well as technical analysis methods (classical analysis, indicator method, etc.). The authors rely on statistics provided by Rosstat, official sites of the administrations of the regions and cities under study, as well as Yandex maps. The most developed from an agglomeration point of view is the Yekaterinburg urban agglomeration, followed by the Chelyabinsk agglomeration, and, finally, the Tyumen agglomeration is in third place. In general, the analysis of urban agglomeration processes demonstrated that the latter are very unevenly developed in the territory of the Ural Federal District, which indicates an insufficient connection between the space adjacent to the border between Europe and Asia. The calculation of indicators showed a «problem field» of agglomeration processes characteristic of the Ural Federal District space: for the Yekaterinburg agglomeration there is a significant spread in the population of a large city and small settlements in terms of population, which indicates uneven resettlement; in the Chelyabinsk region — a decrease in population growth of the entire agglomeration; in the Tyumen agglomeration — a low value of the centralization coefficient of the «core» of the agglomeration, the agglomeration coefficient, the agglomeration index, the population development index. The authors made recommendations for the authorities of the macroregion aimed at strengthening the space occupying a middle position on the Eurasian continent.

Authors: Salamatov Artem A. , Uzhegov Artem O.
Published: March 2024

Public awareness of the global problems of our time that impede the harmonious development of society is reflected in the social, economic and environmental spheres. Identification of factors and assessment of their influence on the sustainable development of the region is the key to solving the problem of developing theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of an individual’s environmental and economic orientation, which presupposes the presence of relevant needs and interests, along with motives, goals and beliefs that guide a person’s behavior and activities in within the framework of ecological-economic balance. The purpose of the study is to assess the influence of objective factors on the formation of environmental and economic needs and interests of a person as the basis for the environmental and economic orientation of an individual. When studying the problem of identifying and assessing the socio-ecological-economic factors of sustainable development of the region, the authors used strategic analysis, integrated methods of special theories — development modeling, and used methods of visual interpretation of research results. An assessment was made of the influence of socio-ecological-economic factors in the regions of the Ural macrozone on the formation of the environmental-economic orientation of behavior. The regions united in the macrozone demonstrate an asymmetry in the conditions of their development, in which points of regional competitiveness are formed, which have the greatest potential for the formation of an environmental-economic orientation, ensuring the adoption of management decisions within the framework of socio-ecological-economic balance. Options for the manifestation of contradictions that influence the degree of formation of an individual’s environmental-economic orientation are presented; connections between levels (strategic, operational, discretionary), objects and management tools are developed to minimize socio-ecological-economic contradictions.

Authors: Sazonov Sergey P. , Ezangina Irina A. , Timofeev Pavel M.
Published: March 2024

The relevance of this study is determined by the significance of mergers and acquisitions as modern tools for expanded diversified growth, direct investment, production synergy, and overcoming the increasing risks of companies’ external environment. The work clarifies the content of mergers and acquisitions from the perspective of reorganization and business development, dominant and partial shareholder control. The high concentration of the Russian pipe industry is emphasized, which is due to the historical territorial concentration of key enterprises in the industry and modern trends of consolidation and movement towards a large-scale oligopoly in the domestic market. The mergers are based on signs of both vertical and horizontal integration, with a focus on creating a model of business units, each of which represents an enlarged production complex. The key driving force is recognized as the growing domestic demand for pipe products from enterprises in the oil and gas sector and municipal infrastructure in the context of the priorities of the national development strategy and the active state policy of project financing. A consistent combination of tight integration tools with technological cooperation programs with strategic counterparties has been proven. Signs of a merger were noted at the level of consolidation of internal assets of infrastructure divisions of large companies in the metallurgical industry.

Authors: Brizhak Olga V. , Khokhoeva Zalina V. , Chikanova Elena S.
Published: March 2024

After the global crisis of 2008–2009 a new economic reality was established in the socio-economic system, one of the signs of which was the overaccumulation of complex problems generated by transformations, for the solution of which the possibilities of fictitious capital are in demand. The disclosure of such possibilities presupposes further development of the theory of fictitious capital. The article explores the applied possibilities of the theory of fictitious capital, arising in the specific conditions of the new economic reality, associated with meeting the needs of two processes: an accelerated transition to a “green economy”; expanded generation of intellectual capital. The focus of the study is on additional opportunities for solving the key problems of the new economic reality associated with the intensive development of the theory of fictitious capital and the disclosure of its additional applied potential, adequate to the conditions of this reality. The study reveals the growing needs of the socio-economic system, in which a new economic reality has been established, in a comprehensive solution of many interrelated problems caused by technological shifts and socio-economic transformations and hindering the further sustainable and effective development of this system. For a comprehensive solution of such problems, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to find qualitatively new resources for an accelerated transition to a “green economy”; ensure the expanded generation of intellectual capital, which has become a key factor in modern development. The theory of fictitious capital, adapted to the conditions of the new economic reality, reveals the application possibilities of fictitious capital in relation to the specified tasks, which additionally confirms the validity of the conclusion that a good theory is the most practical. Implementation of the applied possibilities of fictitious capital makes it possible to identify and practically apply qualitatively new resources for an accelerated transition to a “green economy”, as well as to ensure the expanded generation of intellectual capital, which plays a key role in resolving the complex problems of the new economic reality. At the same time, in both cases, the starting point for such a sale is debt securities designed and issued for a period corresponding to the duration of the processes whose needs they provide.

Fostering equitable power dynamics and promoting justice mitigate conflict and enhance satisfaction.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social exchange theory, Equity theory & Organizational justice theory may be used to anchor future studies on influence of power dynamics and organizational justice on conflict outcomes and satisfaction. Organizations should prioritize efforts to promote transparent decision-making processes and equitable power distribution to mitigate conflicts and enhance employee satisfaction. Policymakers should advocate for legislation and regulations that promote fairness and equality in organizational practices, including policies related to anti-discrimination, diversity, and inclusion.

Technology plays a great role in innovating and renovating contemporary teaching practices. Hence, this study aimed at determining the influence of the education manager’s management skills on the advancement in technological, pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) of teachers in private junior high schools in Davao City. This study utilized a quantitative prediction research design using a survey method. The 205 teacher-respondents chosen using universal sampling answered a two-part validated online survey questionnaire which asks about the educational manager’s management skills and the teacher’s TPACK. Data were described, analyzed and interpreted using mean, standard deviation, Pearson r, and linear regression. The findings showed a very high level of management skills among educational managers and a very high level of TPACK among teachers. Standard Multiple Linear Regression Analysis using the Stepwise Method and the equation model showed that the educational managers’ management skills such as managing acculturation, managing the future, managing teaching principles, and managing teaching methods significantly predict the TPACK of private Junior High School teachers and these five management skills have relatively contributed to the variation of TPACK. Thus, there is a need to strengthen education manager’s formation programs focusing on the areas of energizing employees and teacher’s training in technology knowledge.

A ficha técnica de preparação de alimentos é uma ferramenta utilizada com vista à garantia da qualidade do serviço de forma padronizada e possibilidade de minimização do tempo de preparo do alimento. Assim, o presente estudo teve por objetivo elaborar ficha técnica para Unidade de Alimentação e Nutrição de um hospital público de Teresina - PI. Unidade Hospitalar é de Médio Porte, onde são servidas diariamente cerca de 125 refeições para pacientes internados, acompanhantes e funcionários. Para tanto, as informações coletadas foram organizadas em fichas, com as seguintes informações: custo total, nome de cada preparação, número de porções a serem servidas, valor per capita, fator de correção, índice de cocção, peso bruto e peso líquido, além do valor nutricional. A padronização das receitas pela elaboração das fichas técnicas possibilitou o controle dos gêneros alimentícios e a necessidade de capacitação da equipe. Uma vez que a referida Unidade de Alimentação não continha tal instrumento.

Postpartum is a unique period in the lives of women with childbirth but presents with postpartum depression, which challenges the mother, infants, and families. In the global and Ghanaian setting, postpartum depression is a mental disorder that impedes maternal function; however, it is an indistinct concept. This article analyses the concept of postpartum depression using the Avant and Walker strategy. The article aims to analyse the concept of postpartum depression and determine the defining attributes, antecedents and consequences. Analysis of postpartum depression was done using the Avant and Walker strategy of concept analysis. Deductive analysis was employed to find the defining attributes of postpartum depression which were mood changes, tiredness, inability to sleep, low self-esteem, tearfulness, loss of appetite, feelings of inadequacy, irritability, loss of interest and enjoyment, reduced energy, distress, detachment from baby, worry about injury to the infant, and feeling of guilt about motherhood role performance. The identified antecedents were the presence of pregnancy, labour, childbirth and its physiological and psychological stress. The consequence of postpartum depression was poor cognitive function of the infant, nutritional defects, mortalities associated with deprived infant care, maternal self-care deficit, social interaction impairment and inability to perform parental roles. The defining attributes and consequences can improve the identification of women with postpartum depression in Ghana and subsequently increase diagnosis and treatment.

Despite the adoption of prophylactic programs of iron and folate supplementation (IFAS) to prevent nutritional anaemia in pregnancy, iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in pregnancy remains a public health issue, especially in developing countries. An efficient strategy that may be helpful prior to establishing the objectives of any nutrition intervention is to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pregnant women before implementing any intervention. This assessed KAP of pregnant mothers attending antenatal clinic at the University of Cape Coast Hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional study involving 225 pregnant mothers who visited the antenatal clinic at the University of Cape Coast Hospital in the Cape Coast Metropolis, Ghana was employed. A structured questionnaire from the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization was used to evaluate participants’ KAPs with reference to anaemia. A simple random sampling method was used to select participants for the study. IBM SPSS Statistics version 26 was used to conduct descriptive statistical analysis, which was summarized by frequency and percentages. A chi-squared test was used to determine the relationship between categorical variables at a significance level of P = 0.05. Overall, a greater proportion of the participants, 124 (55.1%), had poor knowledge on nutritional anaemia in pregnancy. A statistically significant association (P = 0.003) was found between the knowledge and attitudes of the pregnant women regarding anaemia. Findings from this study suggest there is a knowledge deficit among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at the University of Cape Coast Hospital. The positive attitudes of the study participants regarding anaemia may not translate into their knowledge concerning a health situation.
