Authors:   Department of Science and Humanities, Vasireddy Venkatadri Institute of Technology, Nambur, Guntur., Parveen Syed Sabiha
Published: February 2025

As companies, investors, and legislators realise how crucial it is to include Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations in financial decision- making, the idea of sustainable finance has grown in popularity. In order to promote sustainable development, this review paper investigates how incorporating ESG factors can improve financial decision-making. The growth of ESG, its guiding principles, and its expanding impact on financial markets are all critically examined in this article. It outlines the main forces supporting ESG integration, including investor demand, business responsibility, and regulatory pressures, by examining recent research and industry practices. The study also emphasises how ESG considerations affect business transparency, long-term value development, and risk management. Issues with standardisation, data quality, and the dangers of greenwashing are among the difficulties that come with integrating ESG. This paper concludes by outlining recommendations for policymakers and financial institutions to enhance the integration of ESG factors, emphasising the need for improved regulatory frameworks, greater transparency, and consistent reporting standards. The study illustrates that although there is increasing

agreement regarding the value of ESG in mitigating financial risks and contributing to sustainable economic growth, practical implementation remains inconsistent across industries and regions. The review also assesses various methodologies for evaluating ESG performance and how these are linked to financial returns, showing that well-implemented ESG strategies can result in competitive advantages and increased investor confidence. The results highlight the significance of sustainable finance as a driver for accomplishing more general environmental and social goals while preserving the long-term viability and financial success of enterprises. The report urges more work to remove current obstacles and promote a more uniform, internationally recognised method of incorporating ESG considerations into financial decision- making.

Multi-Party Crypto Vault System for Secure Digital Transactions
Authors:   Department of Computer Engineering Pune Institute of Computer Technology  Pune, India, Balapure Rushi
Published: February 2025

The rise of cryptocurrencies and decentralized fi- nance (DeFi) has highlighted the importance of secure and collaborative management systems for digital assets. Multi-party crypto vaults provide a way to ensure distributed control, privacy, and fault tolerance by involving multiple participants in the management and approval of transactions. This paper explores the two primary approaches—Multi-Signature (Multi-Sig) and Multi-Party Computation (MPC)—that underpin these vaults. Multi-Sig schemes offer fast, scalable solutions for real-time applications, while MPC ensures strong privacy and security by allowing encrypted computations without exposing private keys. In addition key management models, such as split-key and blockchain-based methods, and fault tolerance mechanisms, including social recovery and time-locked protocols, which ensure that vault systems remain secure and operational even in cases of participant failure. This paper recommends MPC as the optimal approach for high-security, privacy-sensitive applications, such as institutional custody and financial systems, while outlining av- enues for future research, including post-quantum cryptography and latency reduction in MPC protocols.

Authors: Irkham Nuriyah , Hartono Ulil , Haryono Nadia Asandimitra
Published: February 2025

Deciding on how to distribute net income to shareholders or reinvest it for business operations is a crucial strategic move known as dividend policy. The focus of this research is to examine the influencers affecting dividend policy within businesses listed in the IDX High Dividend 20 on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023. The analyzed factors consist of the current ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, return on assets, and firm size. A quantitative method with a descriptive-analytical framework is utilized in the study. Information is gathered from the yearly financial statements of 18 chosen businesses from the total of 20 companies in the IDX High Dividend 20 group. Information gathering is carried out using various record-keeping techniques, while an assortment of linear regression is utilized for data examination. It has been revealed through the findings that the proportions of the present resources to liabilities and the magnitude of the company do not notably impact how dividends are managed. Conversely, the level of debt relative to equity and the return generated on assets have a notable beneficial impact on the dividend strategy. The calculation of the determination coefficient presents that approximately 14% of the fluctuation in dividend strategy can be accounted for by the independent factors, with the rest being influenced by external elements not covered in this research. This research contributes to understanding the factors influencing dividend policy in Indonesia, particularly among companies that focus on high dividend distribution.

Culturally responsive classrooms: African American male student perceptions
Authors: Long Sheila Faye , Wilburn Victor Romando
Published: February 2025

This paper focuses on the process of conducting and evaluating a medium-sized Midwestern school district of African American male third graders’ academic achievement and their teachers using culturally relevant pedagogy. The evaluation was developed from a pre-test and post-test data analysis to a mixed-method sequential explanatory evaluation. Culturally relevant pedagogy is operationally defined as a student-centered approach to teaching in which the students’ unique cultural strengths are identified and nurtured to promote student achievement and a sense of well-being about their place in the cultural world. This study examined the unique contexts of literacy programs utilized by teachers in African American males’ classrooms and other students of diverse backgrounds. The results demonstrated that African American males exhibited greater self-identification when employing culturally relevant pedagogy in a conducive and supportive learning environment. This series not only enabled teachers to diversify students’ exposure to cultural literature but also increased the students’ literacy scores for elementary readers by focusing on the reading and writing success of diverse students. This program targets key areas of reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and writing in kindergarten through second-grade students. In addition, this study also contributes to our understanding of the challenges that young African American males face in the academic classroom.
Bank competition and access to finance by firms in the common monetary area of Southern Africa
Authors: Kalebe Kalebe M , Gwatidzo Tendai
Published: February 2025

This study determines the effect of bank competition on firms' access to finance in the Common Monetary Area of Southern Africa (CMA). The study uses a combination of firm, bank, and country-level data from various sources for the period 2014 to 2020. We use four different measures of access to finance, one subjective and three objective. Furthermore, we employ two non-structural measures of competition (the Lerner index and Boone indicator) and one structural measure (the Herfindahl-Hirschman index). Probit, ordered probit, and probit with sample selection estimations are utilized to obtain results. According to results, more bank competition in CMA enhances firms’ access to finance. Our findings directly suggest that promoting bank competition can enhance firms' access to finance. Relevant authorities in the CMA should develop and implement policies that stimulate bank competition in order to promote firms' access to finance. Furthermore, the most important firm-specific factors that explain firms’ access to finance appear to be the size of a firm, whether it is foreign-owned, audited, and privately held or not. On the other hand, the level of income, inflation rate, financial development, and institutional development are all important in explaining cross-country variation in firms’ access to finance.
The effect of earnings management on profitability: Evidence from Palestine
Authors: Alrob Rafat Mohammad Abu
Published: February 2025

This research examined the influence of earnings management on the profitability of non-financially-listed companies on the Palestine Stock Exchange between 2017 and 2021. The study employed regression analysis to measure the impact of earnings management on profitability using a sample of nonfinancial listed companies, which included (31) listed companies. SPSS, a statistical analysis program, assisted the researcher in concluding a negative relationship between the dependent variable earnings per share and independent variables earnings management measured by discretionary accruals using the Jones model 1995 and free cash flow at the 1% level. However, there is a statistically significant positive correlation between dividends per share and the profitability of corporations listed on PEX at the 1% level. Lastly, the outcome shows no statistically significant association between the profitability of corporations listed on the PEX and the control variables. The findings, particularly the negative relationship between earnings per share and earnings management and the positive correlation between dividends per share and profitability, contribute new perspectives to the existing body of knowledge on financial performance in emerging markets.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to assess the reliability and validity of the Chalder Fatigue Scale 14 (CFS-14) in women with postpartum depression (PPD). This cross-sectional work employed purposive sampling to recruit 247 participants from three hospitals in China. This study used reliability testing, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with the CFS-14 and the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) as the research instruments. The findings showed: (i) Reliability: The CFS-14 demonstrated good internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.88 and a split-half reliability of 0.86. (ii) Validity: EFA identified four factors with item loadings over 0.5 except for item 14. CFA indicated an excellent model fit. Composite reliability (CR) ranged from 0.839 to 0.887 and the square root of the average variance extracted (√AVE) ranged from 0.754 to 0.893 demonstrating good construct validity. The CFS-14 exhibited moderate to strong correlations with the MFI-20 (r = 0.456 to 0.742) supporting acceptable criterion validity. In conclusion, the instrument exhibited satisfactory reliability and validity with the CFS-14 demonstrating a solid four-factor structure instead of the original two-factor model in women with PPD after removing item 14. This enables health workers to assess fatigue and implement interventions more effectively.

Factors determining return migration of Goan emigrants
Authors: Gomes Roy , Chandran Sarath
Published: February 2025

Goa is a small, progressive state in India and a former Portuguese colony with a long history of international migration, experiencing return migration in recent periods. The study attempts to locate the significant factors causing the return migration of Goans into the State. The study uses primary data collected from 400 return migrants on twenty-two attributes responsible for their return. An Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) is used to determine the factors responsible for return migration and compare them against their socioeconomic attributes. The EFA identifies six factors for return migration, namely, Workplace (W), Personal (P), Job-related (JR), Friends (F), Family (FA), and Facilities (FC). Family, Job-related, and Workplace factors are the main factors causing return migration, and international migration has helped them improve their quality of life and standard of living. The government should take proactive steps to utilize the skills and experience acquired by the return migrants by creating an enabling environment in the State and rehabilitating them based on their motivation to return to their home country. The study is significant for formulating the reintegration and rehabilitation policies for the return migrants who have significantly contributed to the State's economic development.

Authors: Frunze Nina
Published: February 2025

In the present study, the changes in the taxonomic composition of prokaryotes at the phylum level in the typical chernozem of the Republic of Moldova during the years 2020-2022 were determined, using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The group of microorganisms studied is characterized by a genetic diversity, whose spectrum comprises 15 phyla with a different prevalence in the prokaryotic community. The majority (14) belong to the Bacteria domain: Bacteria: Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, Bacteroidota, Firmicutes, Verrucomicrobiota, Acidobacteriota, Planctomycetota, Myxococcota, Nitrospirota, Gemmatimonadota, Cyanobacteria, Patescibacteria, Fibrobacterota, Chloroflexi and one to the Archaea domain – Thaumarchaeota. The pool of the representatives of the Bacteria domain (82,16-88,32%) was also differentiated by the highest indices in relation to the representatives of the Archaea domain. At the same time, the representatives of the Archaea domain, registering a share of 11,6-17,84% in the years of study, were among the phyla with the highest abundance and yielded only to the phyla Proteobacteria (25,11-31,21%) and Actinobacteriota (24,01-26,46%), which held the lead according to this indicator. The study demonstrated that the prokaryotic composition of the studied chernozems varied from yeat to year, so their taxonomic structure can serve as an important indicator of previous changes in the diversity and composition of prokaryotic communities as a result of agricultural land use.
În studiul de față au fost stabilite modificările compoziției taxonomice ale procariotelor pe parcursul anilor 2020-2022 la nivel de filum în cernoziomul tipic al Republicii Moldova, folosind reacția în lanț a polimerazei (RLP). Grupul de microorganisme studiate se caracterizează printr-o diversitate genetică, spectrul cărora este alcătuit din 15 filumuri cu o prestanță diferită în comunitatea procariotelor. Majoritatea lor (14) aparțin domeniului Bacteria: Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, Bacteroidota, Firmicutes, Verrucomicrobiota, Acidobacteriota, Planctomycetota, Myxococcota, Nitrospirota, Gemmatimonadota, Cyanobacteria, Patescibacteria, Fibrobacterota, Chloroflexi și unul domeniului Archaea – Thaumarchaeota. Pool-ul reprezentanților domeniului Bacteria (82,16-88,32%), de asemenea, s-a deosebit prin cei mai înalți indici în relație cu domeniul Archaea. Totodată, reprezentanții domeniului Archaea, înregistrând o pondere de 11,6-17,84% în anii de studiu s-au plasat printre filumurile cu cea mai mare abundență cedând doar filumurilor Proteobacteria (25,11-31,21%) și Actinobacteriota (24,01-26,46%), care dețineau întâietatea după acest indicator. Studiul a demonstrat că compoziția procariotelor cernoziomului studiat variază de la an la an, astfel încât structura lor taxonomică poate servi ca un indicator important al modificărilor anterioare în diversitatea și compoziția comunităților procariote ca urmare a utilizării terenurilor agricole.

Published: February 2025

The article presents a synthesis of investigations conducted on 10 corn hybrids from the early and medium maturity groups, tested under ecological conditions in the northern part of the Republic of Moldova in 2023 at the Visoca Testing Station in Soroca District. According to tests carried, the productivity of the corn hybrids varies on average between 8,17 and 8,61 t/ha, depending on the maturity group. This variation underscores the influence of ecological factors on the development of the hybrids. Corn hybrids from the medium maturity group demonstrate a productivity that is 0,44 t/ha higher than that of the early maturity group. The year 2023 provided favorable climatic conditions for assessing the water loss capacity of the kernels, from physiological maturity to harvest. The maximum intensity of moisture loss from the kernels was observed in the stage IV, where the average percentage of moisture lost per day was 0,45% for hybrids from the early maturity group and 0,48% for those from the medium maturity group. Thus, hybrids with different capacities for moisture loss from the kernels were obtained. The tests highlighted corn hybrids with varying rates of moisture loss from the kernels even after harvest, particularly emphasizing those from the medium maturity group.
