Issues of human capital analysis and assessment on the example of reports published by listed companies
Authors:   Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Organization and Management, Department of Economics and Information Science, Nawrocki Tomasz L.
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The aim of this article is to examine the information capacity (information policy)
of publicly available reports published by enterprises from the point of view of various
approaches to assessment of human capital, as well as its deeper analysis.
Design/methodology/approach: The listed companies’ information policy assessment
in the field of human capital carried out on the basis of annual reports and broadly understood
ESG or CSR reports, published by 140 companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
In detail the research consisted in analysing the content and quality of the information presented
in the reports in terms of the application of the criteria for assessing human capital by answering
the 15 questions regarding different issues on this subject.
Findings: The research shows that the analysed companies listed on the Warsaw Stock
Exchange are characterized by a rather diverse approach to information policy in the field
of human capital, and in fact none of them conducts it in an unequivocally complete
and transparent manner. Obtained results clearly indicate that their overall reporting in the field
of human capital is quite average. The results for large companies and some industries
are relatively better than the general average.
Research limitations: The research did not cover the entire population of companies listed
on the Warsaw Stock Exchange but only companies from WIG-20, mWIG-40 and sWIG-80
indexes.
Practical implications: In order to improve the assessment and analysis of human capital
in enterprises, a certain standard of data reporting in this area should be introduced.
Social implications: Improving enterprise reporting in the area of human capital would have
a positive impact on the overall assessment of enterprises’ involvement in socially responsible
activities.
Originality/value: The conducted research, based on a relatively large (in comparison to other
studies in this field) research sample and a detailed approach to the criteria for assessing human
capital, allowed to verify the possibilities of practical application of the human capital
assessment indicators postulated in the literature.
Keywords: human capital, ESG reports, human capital assessment, human capital ratios,
information policy of listed companies.

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE: A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS ON STUDENTS OF HIGHER SECONDARY GRADE
Authors: Ray Chetna , Soley Amol
Published: February 2025

English plays a critical role in education, career opportunities, and global communication. However, students in non-English-speaking environments, especially in regions like Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, encounter significant challenges in learning English as a Second Language (ESL). This study aims to identify the difficulties faced by higher secondary students in acquiring English proficiency and to explore effective instructional strategies to improve ESL learning outcomes. Data were collected from 400 students (private and government schools) through structured tests and surveys. The study analyzed pronunciation errors, synonym and antonym recognition, abbreviation comprehension, and word meaning assessment to evaluate students' performance. The results revealed that government school students exhibited higher error percentages across all categories compared to private school students, indicating gaps in vocabulary retention, pronunciation accuracy, and word association skills. The findings suggest that a lack of exposure, ineffective teaching methodologies, socio-economic factors, and psychological barriers significantly hinder English learning.

Conhecimento com base em presunções: reflexos no direito probatório e na decisão judicial
Authors: Leitão Rodrigo Damasceno
Published: February 2025

Este artigo se propõe a trazer reflexões epistemológicas referentes à influência do conhecimento com base em presunções no direito probatório e na decisão judicial, partindo de uma identificação da relação entre prova e verdade, passando por uma análise do ônus da prova com base em presunções, com foco em chegar em critérios concretos que possam ser utilizados pelos julgadores. Ao final, conclui-se que as presunções são inerentes à cognição humana e à atividade judicante, o que não deve ser visto como fator impeditivo à busca pela verdade, pelo contrário, deve-se estimular, cada vez mais, a utilização de critérios que visam o aprimoramento das decisões judiciais.
Um panorama sobre o mercado de obras de arte e a ausência de convenções internacionais para a sua regulamentação
Authors: Andrade Pedro Marcelo Clares de
Published: February 2025

Compreender o mercado de obras de arte não é uma atividade literal ou simples, mas exige um exercício de identificação dos diversos vetores e elementos que colaboram para o seu funcionamento. Entre estes, destaque para os seus agentes e para a classificação binária entre mercado primário e mercado secundário. Ademais, de modo intrínseco, algumas características são inerentes, como a subjetividade valorativa das obras, o elitismo dos consumidores, a ausência de transparência das negociações e a exclusividade dos bens artísticos. Nesse contexto, não há dúvidas de que o tópico mais sensível do setor comercial aborda a questão da variabilidade dos preços das obras de arte, o que direciona uma necessária atenção dos órgãos internacionais de regulamentação a fim de criarem normas para se evitar esse poder especulativo, bem como de se construir barreiras para não tornar o mercado atrativo à prática de crimes, como a lavagem de capitais. Afinal, trata-se de um segmento que, apenas no ano de 2022, alcançou o faturamento de US$ 67,8 bilhões de dólares. Assim, por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória, de revisão bibliográfica e com abordagem qualitativa, o presente estudo identifica que o mercado de obras de arte ainda carece de convenções internacionais que consigam normatizar esse setor que comercializa bens de interesse coletivo, histórico, cultural e de dimensão globalizada.

Desta forma, o trabalho teve como objetivo, evidenciar a importância de uma segurança democrática e cidadã, possibilitando a conclusão de que se faz extremamente necessário a união entre os agentes sociais e políticos, não sendo preciso inventar e reinventar leis, projetos e planos, mas sim, voltar o olhar sob as boas experiências internacionais e nacionais que obtiveram resultados.
The Costs of Caring: I-Poems as Illustrations of Moral Distress Among Professionals Working with Seriously Ill Homeless Individuals
Authors: Johnson Ian M , Doran Rachel , Gillmore Alexis , Garrett Kenyette , Galvez Eliza , Kapur Ishita , Amen Zak , Alshehri Khalid , Light Michael A
Published: February 2025

Both the recorded prevalence of moral distress among health and social service professionals (HSSPs) as well as the health needs of an increasingly older homeless population warrants further examination of how HSSPs experience and navigate moral distress when working with patients concurrently facing serious illness and homelessness. Through I-poems and iterative thematic analysis of 30 interviews, this study identified: (1) expectations versus reality, in which professionals contrasted advertised duties with actual tasks; (2) helplessness facing care constraints—felt experiences of powerlessness given current programming and funding; (3) disconnect from service users, how moral distress prompted bias in care decisions and avoidant behaviors in client interaction; and (4) reconciliation through community, or the social strategies professionals used to cope with or resolve moral distress. Findings from this study emphasize the importance of continued interventions for workforce development, adaptations to models of serious illness care for specialized populations, and efforts to create labor equity among healthcare and social services.

Real-time fraud detection with reinforcement learning: An adaptive approach
Authors: TOLULOPE FAYEMI
Published: February 2025

Detecting financial transaction fraud in real-time presents extensive difficulty because fraud patterns continue evolving and concept drift occurs. Adapting traditional rule-based and supervised learning remains difficult because new techniques are needed to support dynamic decision-making processes. This investigation presents reinforcement learning (RL) as an autonomous answer to handle real-time fraud discovery by removing the need for market information. The research investigates Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), Deep Q-networks (DQNs), and Actor-Critic methods through an assessment of their ability to modify fraud detection policies automatically. Objecting systems based on reinforcement learning perform better than regular models when evaluating fraudulent behavior while developing lower error rates. The application of simulation environments and authentic financial information helps prove this superiority. The research reveals that a combination of RL with federated learning techniques and explainable AI and adversarial training can improve the potential of fraud detection abilities. The new fraud prevention technology delivers scalable and robust solutions offering financial institutions privacy protection. The article sets future research aims to make RL algorithms more efficient while overcoming technical obstacles in financial fraud detection systems.

Authors: Shubham Malhotra
Published: February 2025

Software systems globally have become increasingly complex, and conventional monitoring and debugging tools are not sufficient for them. The baselines are synthesized from general metrics and general rules, at the very least these are not sufficient in order to give a high level of understanding in the form of the distributed dynamic environment. To solve this issue, solution platforms based on the concept of observability, which use platforms of advanced capabilities (e.g., real-time data analysis, artificial intelligence (AI) analytics, and automated anomaly detection) have been created. Solutions are described through present-day real-time stream processing, Artificial intelligence (AI) analytics, automated anomaly detection, etc, to allow prediction of degradation and system optimization before degradation events occur. These webs give an all-round overview of system performance, involving logs, metrics, traces, and events and as a result, companies can get better reliability, decrease downtime, and improve operational efficiency. Nevertheless, the benefits are accompanied by limitations, including data quality limitations, economies of scale limitation, and security limitations. In this paper, the evolutions of the platforms of observability, their functionalities, the value, the limitations, and the good practices for their successful implementation are traced along with suggestions on the future evolutions of the industry.

Published: February 2025

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental and intriguing phenomenon in quantum mechanics, wherein two or more particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one instantaneously influences the state of the other, regardless of the distance separating them. This research delves into the theoretical foundation of quantum entanglement, exploring its mathematical formulation, key experimental validations, and implications for emerging technologies. A primary focus is placed on its application in secure communication, particularly in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), where entanglement enables fundamentally secure cryptographic protocols resistant to eavesdropping. We present an in-depth analysis of various QKD protocols, including BB84, E91, and decoy-state methods, assessing their security, efficiency, and practical feasibility. Recent experimental advancements in entanglement-based cryptography are examined, alongside real-world implementations and their technical challenges, such as photon loss, decoherence, and scalability in long-distance quantum communication networks. Additionally, we provide comparative insights into the efficiency of different QKD protocols using a bar chart, while figures and tables illustrate core quantum principles and experimental setups. By addressing both theoretical and practical aspects, this study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of quantum entanglement’s role in secure communication and highlights future directions for overcoming existing technological limitations.

Estudio sociolingüístico de la imāla de la [a] final en el árabe de Ouled Teima – Marruecos
Authors: El Hilali Abdellah
Published: February 2025

Resumen
Estudiamos en este artículo un fenómeno fonético característico del árabe de Ouled Teima y sus alrededores. Se trata de la ‘imāla’ de la ]a[ en final de palabra, un fenómeno que se nos revela adecuadísimo para el estudio sociolingüístico,  por obedecer, plenamente a los requisitos establecidos por la literatura sociolingüística. Señalamos que la ‘imāla’ consiste en un cambio según el cual las vocales /a/ y /aː/ se realizan, respectivamente, como ]e[ y ]eː[ o incluso como ]i[ e ]i[ː.
El análisis sociolingüístico de este fenómeno ha permitido descartar su aparente carácter libre y aleatorio, descubriendo una extraordinaria sistematicidad relativa a su uso. Por añadidura,  el mismo análisis ha permitido observar un cambio lingüístico en curso liderado por grupos con niveles educativos altos.
Palabras claves: árabe de Ouled Teima –‘imāla’ – sociolingüística – sistematicidad
Entre el Magreb y el Sahel occidental: dinámicas de movilidad y poblamiento de grupos humanos beréberes en el espacio sahariano según las fuentes árabes (ss. III/IX-VIII/XIV)
Authors: G. Novo Marta
Published: February 2025

Este estudio analiza la evidencia textual más relevante dentro del corpus geográfico árabe medieval, junto con testimonios de otras características, como la narrativa de viajes y de ʿaŷāʾib, o la historiográfica, en busca de las dinámicas de movilidad, presencia y asentamiento de grupos de población beréber entre el Mágreb y el Sahel occidental entre los ss. III/IX y VIII/XIV. A partir de los testimonios de Ibn Ḥawqal, al-Bakrī, al-Idrīsī, Ibn Baṭṭūṭa e Ibn Jaldūn, y mediante la sistematización de la terminología aplicada a las distintas clases de grupos (qawm, ahl, qabīla, entre otros términos), principlamente Ṣanhāŷa pero también Zanāta o Hawwāra, se pondrán de manifiesto los espacios que éstos ocupan, tanto de forma nómada como sedentaria, y de las actividades productivas que los sustentan, desde el comercio y el pastoreo hasta el estudio de las ciencias religiosas o el gobierno. Se mostrarán también las dinámicas de movilidad en el espacio sahariano de los grupos de población beréberes durante la mayor parte del periodo medieval, al igual que las continuidades y transformaciones en los asentamientos y la vinculación a los mismos mediante sistemas de producción.

Authors: Téllez Téllez Maura , Romero Cedillo Reyes Kevin
Published: February 2025

En los últimos años se han realizado esfuerzos en la búsqueda de alternativas en el área textil que no generen residuos contaminantes, como es el caso de los productos derivados del plástico o de origen animal. Entre estas alternativas se pueden mencionar los hongos, de los cuales se obtienen materiales con características idóneas para su aprovechamiento en la industria textil. Debido a su estructura, morfología y resistencia, el micelio produce un material biodegradable que presenta un aspecto similar al cuero. En este artículo se revisan algunas investigaciones en las que se han obtenido productos para la industria textil con características similares a las del cuero de origen animal.
Infancia y desorden en la Ciudad de México durante el ocaso novohispano
Authors: Alcubierre Moya Beatriz
Published: February 2025

En este artículo, se atiende a las infancias en un sentido más inclusivo en la historiografía mexicana. Se aborda el problema de la infancia urbana en la Ciudad de México en el tránsito del siglo xviii al xix, a partir de las prácticas utilitarias y de exclusión emprendidas por la administración borbónica y continuadas por los gobiernos independientes, bajo la severa mirada del higienismo y el afán civilizatorio de los grupos dominantes, con el fin de restringir la presencia de niños y jóvenes del espacio público. Se revisa la figura retórica del pícaro en el paisaje urbano del ocaso novohispano, así como las circunstancias demográficas, sociales, económicas y políticas basadas en las experiencias de las infancias en México.
