COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICE DELIVERY BETWEEN TWO COASTAL LAGOONS IN GHANA
Authors: ADU-BOAHEN Kofi
Published: December 2023

The integration of ES into global policies represents a significant step towards harmonising sustainability and growth and unifying dialogues on biodiversity and sustainable development to benefit humanity. Consistent assessment of the availability of ES is vital to enable ongoing monitoring and support sustainable natural resource management and decision-making. This study was conducted to comparatively analyse the ecosystem service delivery between two coastal lagoons in Ghana. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) and Marine Ecosystem Services Assessment Tool (MESAT) scales were used in the study. The paper was based on the positivist paradigm and employed inferential statistics with SPSS v23 for data analysis. The results indicate no statistical differences between the Fosu and Muni lagoons in terms of their ecosystem service delivery; the null hypothesis is accepted for the two ecosystem service scales used and confirms that Fosu and the Muni Lagoons are similar in their deliveries of ecosystem services. The relationship between ES and human well-being is complex due to the interplay between social and ecological systems. To address coastal issues and develop management plans, the study proposes using MESAT and MEA for evaluation and solution provisioning. It further recommends expanding stakeholder and decision-maker involvement in lagoon management to promote sustainability and enhance stakeholder participation in decision-making.

Authors:   Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Faculty of Economics – Skopje, Bogoevska-Gavrilova Irena
Published: December 2023

With the emergence of social media, social media influencers have become a substantial alternative for brand promotion. Companies are dedicating an increasing portion of their overall marketing budget towards influencer marketing initiatives. To enhance the effectiveness of influencer marketing, companies and marketers should prioritize the credibility of the message source. The main motivation for the research lies in the modest research base regarding the effect of the multi-dimensional structure of source credibility on influencer loyalty. Grounded in source credibility theory, the subject of this paper is the source credibility four-dimensional construct: expertise, attractiveness, similarity, and trustworthiness of influencers aiming to investigate the impact of influencers’ credibility on social media users’ loyalty to influencers. By employing SPSS for multiple linear regression analysis on a dataset of 80 participants, the results reveal that the most influential factor positively affecting social media users' loyalty to influencers is the trustworthiness of the influencers, followed closely by the dimension of similarity. In conclusion, these research findings not only contribute to academic knowledge but also offer valuable guidance and insights for marketing managers in the selection of suitable social media influencers for collaboration.

Published: December 2023

Environmental, Social and Governance criteria (ESG) have been raising attention from all the stakeholders – governments, supervisors, businesses, financial institutions, investors etc. ESG has become mainstream in business strategy. Today, ECG criteria are an important and even obligatory part of the corporate strategy and sustainable development of a business. Those criteria are being used to evaluate business practice and performance. Studies have shown that applying ESG criteria properly could create higher value for the business. Western Balkan countries need sustainable financing and investments. In that regard, the banking sector in this region starts introducing ESG criteria in their metrics when approving financing for the companies. Sustainable financing is dedicated now to those companies that apply ESG framework in their business strategies. This paper aims to describe the current level of ESG adoption in the banking sector of the Western Balkan countries using SWOT analysis. Analysis has shown that the banking sector in Western Balkan countries has a good starting point to use strengths and opportunities for stronger development of ESG criteria for themselves and to support business in ESG reporting. In that regard, this paper contributes to the Western Balkans banks to remind them to further use and enhance their strengths and opportunities, but, on the other hand, to pay special attention and to focus more on those ESG criteria that are currently weak and represent threats for the ESG implementation in the Western Balkan’s banking sector.
Financial Performance Indicators and Stock Returns: A Decade-Long Analysis of MBI10 Firms in North Macedonia
Authors:   Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Faculty of Economics – Skopje, Malchev Bojan
Published: December 2023

This paper investigates the relationship between financial performance indicators and annual stock returns of the MBI10 companies in North Macedonia over a ten-year period from 2013 to 2022. A total of 100 observations from the Macedonian stock market index (MBI10) are analyzed, using audited financial statements as the primary data source. The financial performance indicators studied include Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Earnings per Share (EPS), and Dividend per Share (DPS). A multiple linear regression model is applied to examine the impact of these indicators on annual stock returns, with the model estimated through ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation. The research tests four hypotheses, aiming to establish significant positive relationships between ROA and Stock Return, as well as EPS and Stock Return. The results confirm the hypotheses related to ROA and EPS, with significant positive impacts on Stock Return. However, the relationships between ROE, DPS, and Stock Return lack statistical significance. The findings suggest that the financial performance indicators considered in this study only account for a limited proportion (4.9%) of the variations in Stock Return, indicating the influence of other essential factors not included in the model. To enhance the reliability of the findings, a robustness check was conducted by introducing two control variables: Macedonian GDP annual real growth rates, and DAX30 Index annual rate of return. The regression model, including these control variables, exhibited almost the same results as the model without them. Furthermore, the model with the control variables demonstrated a slightly higher Adjusted R Square value (0.058) compared to the model without them (0.049), implying a slightly improved explanatory power.This study highlights the complexities of the Macedonian stock market and emphasizes the importance of investigating additional factors that significantly contribute to stock price movements and returns in this specific market context.

Published: December 2023

Insurance, simplified to a risk management concept, offers protection against unexpected losses arising from adverse events. As a financial service of structural importance in modern economies, it requires specific attention due to its risk protection component. Consequently, insurance companies devote sufficient resources towards stable, resilient, and profitable operations. However, a scarce amount of research treats the topic of financial stability maintenance and claims management with even fewer studies dealing with its prediction. This study deals with claims ratio (CR) dynamics in the Macedonian non-life insurance sector and its prediction. Utilizing a data set of 138 monthly observations between January 2012 and June 2023, this paper models the CR indicator through multiple approaches i.e., naïve, ARIMA, ETS exponential smoothing, and random forest (RF) thus making suitability and accuracy comparisons. Results suggest that the SARIMA(4,0,2)(2,1,2,12) model is superior in predicting the claims ratio in both the training and test samples. Moreover, the random forest algorithm shows good performances in the test set but is only superior to the ETS(A,N,A) model.

Pension funds are major asset owners in financial markets and global investors with long-term investment horizons and the need for stable and predictable cash flows. On the other hand, these institutional investors are crucial for maintaining social security, so their performance and investment structure should take into account their responsibility for the environment and society in general. Therefore, they have an extraordinary potential and special responsibility to take measures against sustainability risks and to green the economy, but also to improve social and managerial aspects when adjusting their investment portfolios. Pension funds among institutional investors are expected to make an important contribution to the transition to a sustainable economy. The objective of this paper is to highlight the importance of integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects into the structure of pension funds' investment portfolios, taking into account related regulatory measures and anticipating transition risks. Investment strategies refer to exclusion procedures for ineligible investments, but also to sophisticated screening techniques and verification of compliance with specific sustainability criteria to contribute to the transition to a greener and more sustainable economy.

Published: December 2023

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home (WFH) was supposed to be an HR practice to help employees attain a higher work-life balance. WFH has also been shown in previous research to reduce work-life conflicts. We suggest that these benefits of WFH are specific to voluntary WFH, and cannot be generalized to involuntary WFH, when it is not a choice, but a requirement. Unfortunately, research on involuntary WFH is extremely scarce. Using a time-lagged design, we collected data in three waves during the COVID-19 pandemic to test the effects of WFH on work life balance (WLB), work life conflict (WLC) and burnout. Results show that working from home directly and indirectly affects work-life balance, work-life conflict and burnout. The results also show that emotional exhaustion is the burnout dimension, which is most strongly influenced. Finally, results show that effects of WFH on burnout are mediated through WLB and WLC. These results significantly contribute to the research on working from home and burnout and present important directions for future research. In addition, the results help policy makers and managers in designing better WFH schemes and to develop conditions in which harmful effects of WFH are minimized.

Hybrid work has emerged as a significant paradigm shift, particularly emphasized by the pandemic-induced lockdowns, and is now considered the ‘third way’ of future work arrangements, allowing individuals to vary their work location, schedule, or both (Gratton, 2021). Some benefits associated with this work arrangement are flexibility, increased productivity (Oppong Peprah, 2023), reduced attrition, and improved job satisfaction (Bloom et al., 2022). On the other hand, challenges like substantial investments in technology, IT support, and training, the need for redesigning organizational control, organizational identity, and organizational learning can arise (Petani and Mengis, 2023). It has been recognized that hybrid work also has hidden costs, which are indirect costs not readily apparent in standard financial accounting (Deco et al., 2023). They often result from poor management practices that significantly impact an organization’s performance and profitability (Savall and Zardet, 2010). Hidden costs frequently occur when new technologies are introduced in the organization. This research aims to explore the hidden costs of hybrid work.

Boards’ strategic involvement has been a prominent issue in the management literature, although the research on boards work and how board members fulfill their roles is limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how boards members in companies with one-tier and two-tier board systems understand the concept of boards’ strategic involvement and what determines boards’ members strategic involvement. For answering the defined research questions, we have designed a study that has two parts: qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative analysis has enabled us to develop two separate frameworks on boards’ strategic involvement for companies with one-tier board system and for companies with two-tier board system. The results from the quantitative analysis have shown that director’s participation in discussions, their knowledge and previous organization performances are statistically significant predictors of boards’ strategic involvement. The frameworks we have designed, as well as the regression model can be used in future research for broadening the academic understanding of the boards’ members role in strategy and their involvement in strategic decision making.
Establishment of Effective Mechanisms for Private Enforcement of Competition Law in the Republic of North Macedonia – An Inevitable Step for the Near Future, or an Elusve Fiction?
Authors:   Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Faculty of Economics – Skopje, Kocev Ljuben
Published: December 2023

Competition law plays a crucial role in the efficient functioning of the free market economy. It aims to deter potential infringers, detect anticompetitive behavior, sanction those behaviors, and finally, compensate the affected parties of these behaviors. Historically, competition law has been used predominately as a deterrent mechanism, and only if violations are detected, as a mechanism to sanction the wrongdoers. Compensation of victims has played a secondary role. However, in the past decade, there were many scandals such as Dieselgate, Cambridge Analytica, and Ryanair's mass cancellation of flights, which resulted in mass harm suffered by consumers. This, coupled with the lack of capacity of many national competition agencies to discover and tackle anticompetitive actions of many large companies solely on their own, imposed the idea for the strengthening of the private enforcement of competition law. The paper aims to analyze the latest trends in the sphere of private enforcement of competition law on a global scale, primarily through an examination of the competition laws of the USA and the EU, before focusing on the current situation in the Republic of North Macedonia.

The paper focuses on the topic of gamification in higher education, with specific emphasis on different models of gamification that can be utilized. Gamification in HEIs has been a prominent topic in recent years, with many researches outlining the benefits that can be achieved. However, to ensure a successful implementation, the general recommendation is to follow existing models which comprise from several phases. The research continues by presenting existing models for implementing gamification in education, which provide the foundation to build upon when introducing a new model focused solely on higher educational institutions, since existing ones are focused on broader educational levels, including primary, secondary and tertiary education. Since higher education has differentiating characteristics, it is necessary to propose a tailor-made solution that will address potential differences and challenges. The proposed model is based on three key principles: (1) the advancement of existing models, with the goal of overcoming their inherent limitations and serving as an improved successor; (2) the development of a clear and well-organized framework, tailored for educational institutions that are new to gamification, to ensure that it can be easily understood and implemented even by individuals who are unfamiliar with gamification concepts; and (3) a strategic emphasis on sustainability. In contrast to existing models that mainly depend on operational specifics that may be rendered outdated by technological progress, this particular model employs a strategic perspective, hence reducing the potential hazards associated with obsolescence. Based on traditional project management methodologies, the model is composed of four primary phases, namely analysis, planning, implementation, and control. By setting a clear structure for implementation and strategic goals, the proposed model aligns with wider business implementations, hence enabling a smooth comprehension for individuals responsible for designing and implementing gamification solutions within the context of higher education. Further testing of the proposed model can be performed to evaluate its efficacy in HEIs in North Macedonia and broader regions.

This work investigates the global market for air quality sensors and data representation. We analyzed a comprehensive sample of players in the air quality sensor market and included a representative set of 21 very different organizations in this study. The encompasses entities, from major players like Breezometer to smaller companies focusing on hyperlocal air quality data, such as Airly and AirScape, and non-profit and community-based entities. The primary purposes of these players are to provide data and sensors, promote environmental awareness, support environmental activism projects, and assist community and government initiatives. Air quality is a pressing issue with significant health and economic consequences, including high child mortality rates. This study delves into the challenges posed by air pollution, both globally and locally, with a particular focus on the situation in North Macedonia, whose capital, Skopje, is Europe's most polluted city and consistently exceeds EU air quality limits. The hardware and software solutions market is poised for growth, requiring substantial investment to expand community-oriented air quality efforts. The critical need for global and localized responses to air quality challenges could be addressed through network-economy approaches. A stakeholder network of environmental pioneers, companies, government organizations, and private sensor operators contributes to powerful data sources that track polluters down and analyze specific impacts. Like historical developments like sewers and clean water access, effective air quality management must become integral to our modern world, safeguarding public health and the environment.

This study delves into the relationship between corruption, government spending, and economic growth in selected Central and Eastern European countries. The high prevalence of corruption and suboptimal allocation of public resources in these countries present a significant obstacle to increasing economic growth. These issues are particularly impactful in low and middle-income countries, where corruption persists longer. The effects of corruption can distort market signals and lead to inefficient allocation of resources, especially in the public sector. In addition to hampering public consumption, corrupt practices negatively impact a country's ability to increase economic growth and bridge the gap between high and low-income countries. By utilising fixed and random effects methods, this paper employs panel regression analysis to examine the impact of government spending and corruption on the economic growth of selected Central and Eastern European countries from 2011 to 2021. The study found that government spending, corruption perception, and control of corruption have a positive and statistically significant influence on economic growth in the selected countries.

In the SLN field, there has been an increase in the setting point by 120% to optimize fluid production and minimize the production decline previously caused by a setting point of 110%, which resulted in temporary well shutdowns. Wells HFU01 and HFU02 in this area experienced shutdowns, suspected to be caused by overload in the electrical submersible pump. Overloaded pumps were identified through alarms originating from the switchboard on the surface, where the alarms were triggered by three cables connecting the switchboard to the motor of the electrical submersible pump. This study aims to determine the impact of overload setting point on wells HFU01 and HFU02, which have not shown improvement after the overload setting point adjustment. The research methodology involves analyzing pump failures due to overload in the electrical submersible pump in wells HFU01 and HFU02 located in the Sumatera Light North Area, which affects the well production. From this research, it is suspected that the wells that have not shown improvement after the overload setting point change may be caused by worn-out, aged pumps with low efficiency, and pump cavitation issues. Through this research, these issues can be addressed, leading to improved well production and run life of the electrical submersible pump, ultimately reducing pump failures in the wells.

Films That Work Harder
Authors: Hediger Vinzenz , Hoof Florian , Zimmermann Yvonne , Anthony Scott
Published: December 2023

What unleashed the forces of global capitalism which continue to shape the world today? To solve this riddle economic historians variously point to the emergence of business-friendly values, consumer markets and new forms of applied knowledge in early Modern Europe, which led to innovations in industrial organization, shipping, logistics and trade (which, among other things, enabled and were driven by the transatlantic slave trade). This book focuses on the 20th and 21st centuries and zooms in on the moving image as a factor of economic development and the history of global capitalism. In a series of in-depth case studies at the intersection of film and media studies, science and technology studies and economic and social history, Films That Work Harder: The Circulation of Industrial Film presents an in-depth, global perspective on the dynamic relationship between film, industrial organization and economic relations. Bringing together new research from leading scholars from Europe, Asia, Australia and North America, this book combines the state of the art in the field with an agenda for future research.
Film Festivals, Ideology and Italian Art Cinema
Authors: Johnson Rachel
Published: December 2023

Film Festivals, Ideology and Italian Art Cinema is the first systematic study of the role ideology plays in film festivals’ construction of dominant ideas about art cinema.

Film festivals are considered the driving force of the film industry outside Hollywood, disseminating ideals of cinematic art and humanist politics. However, the question of what drives them remains highly contentious.

In a rare consideration of the European competitive film festival circuit as a whole, this book analyses the shared economic, geopolitical and cultural histories that characterise “European A festivals.” It offers, too, the first extensive analysis of such festivals’ role in the canonisation of select Italian films, from Rome, Open City to The Great Beauty and Gomorrah.

The book proposes a new approach to ideology critique, one that enables detailed examination of how film festivals construct ideas about not only contemporary art cinema, but assumptions about gender, race, colonialism and capitalism.
Archival Film Curatorship
Authors: Ingravalle Grazia
Published: December 2023

Archival Film Curatorship is the first book-length study that investigates film archives at the intersection of institutional histories, early and silent film historiography, and archival curatorship. It examines three institutions at the forefront of experimentation with film exhibition and curatorship. The Eye Film Museum in Amsterdam, the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY, and the National Fairground and Circus Archive in Sheffield, UK serve as exemplary sites of historical mediation between early and silent cinema and the digital age. A range of elements, from preservation protocols to technologies of display and from museum architectures to curatorial discourses in blogs, catalogs, and interviews, shape what the author innovatively theorizes as the archive’s hermeneutic dispositif. Archival Film Curatorship offers film and preservation scholars a unique take on the shifting definitions, histories, and uses of the medium of film by those tasked with preserving and presenting it to new digital-age audiences.
AUGUST: An Interpretable, Resolution-based Two-sample Test
Authors: Brown Benjamin , Zhang Kai
Published: December 2023

Two-sample testing is a fundamental problem in statistics. While many powerful nonparametric methods exist for both the univariate and multivariate context, it is comparatively less common to see a framework for determining which data features lead to rejection of the null. In this paper, we propose a new nonparametric two-sample test named AUGUST, which incorporates a framework for interpretation while maintaining power comparable to existing methods. AUGUST tests for inequality in distribution up to a predetermined resolution using symmetry statistics from binary expansion. Designed for univariate and low to moderate-dimensional multivariate data, this construction allows us to understand distributional differences as a combination of fundamental orthogonal signals. Asymptotic theory for the test statistic facilitates p-value computation and power analysis, and an efficient algorithm enables computation on large data sets. In empirical studies, we show that our test has power comparable to that of popular existing methods, as well as greater power in some circumstances. We illustrate the interpretability of our method using NBA shooting data.

Urban Quality of Life- Analyzing Trends of Academic Papers in Developed and Developing Country Context using Text Mining
Authors: Nandy Ananya , Biswas Dr. Sarmistha
Published: December 2023

Unsustainable urban growth is a major challenge for both developed and developing countries around the globe. Quality of urban life (QOUL) studies is common to find the gap between the public policy, urban planning, and sustainable urban growth with urban resource constraints. Urban development requires study of QOUL in both subjective and objective domain. QOUL studies are analyzed with literature review and text mining online tool -voyant tools. 30 research papers are incorporated from developed and developing countries where different countries have focused on different or common domains. Text mining helps to find the link between words and most used word in the corpus and also literature review further confirm that subjective study helps to focus towards achieving the sustainable urban development. It is also important to report urban development indicators but stakeholder involvement or bottom up approach is more important for an effective and initial start of the process.
STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES; INSIGHTS FROM HOTELS IN THE UPPER WEST REGION, GHANA
Authors: Issah Haq Muhammad  , Ibrahim Kaleem (PhD)  , Tahiru Lukman
Published: December 2023

The study “Strategic Human Resource Management Practices; Insights from Hotels in the Upper West Region of Ghana” examines strategic human resource management practices and their contribution to hotel growth and development in the Upper West Region. The Resource Based View was the theory used in the study. In addition, two broad types of data, secondary and primary data, were used in the study. Questionnaire Administration and Key Informant Interviews were the methods used to collect the data from respondents. Findings revealed that SHRM practices such as selection and recruitment, training and development, appraisal, teamwork, and promotion are practices hotels in the Upper West Region utilise to enhance their organisational performance. Therefore, it is recommended that the management of hotels should prioritise human resource development, focusing on recruitment of qualified personnel, training and benchmarking of standard practice.

Nominate Lesser Black-backed Gulls (Larus fuscus fuscus) winter in the Congo basin
Authors: Kylin H. , Louette M. , Herroelen P. , Bouwman H.
Published: December 2023

After observing several nominate Lesser Black-backed Gulls (Larus fuscus fuscus) on Lake Tumba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, literature and museum studies were re-viewed to compile observations of the species in the Congo basin. The Congo basin ap-pears to be an important wintering area for these birds that are dispersed widely but thinly throughout the large network of rivers. Clearly, difficulties in performing fieldwork in the basin have, thus far, left this wintering area unrecognized. We suggest that the main win-tering area for L. f. fuscus covers an area from the Rift Valley lakes westward into the Congo basin and, contrary to the mainstream literature, only a small proportion of the po-pulation winter on the East African coast.
The ranging behaviour and habitat selection by three Hawfinches Coccothraustes coccothraustes in late winter in Scotland
Authors: Calladine J. , Morrison N.
Published: December 2023

The detected ranges (mean convex polygons) of two male radio-tagged Hawfinches in March 2007 were 34.9 and 1.2 km2, however that of the latter male was likely to be an underestimate because of its relatively infrequent detection. Constant monitoring of a female tagged in February 2008 indicated a range of 1.4 km2. Tree species used in daytime were Oak (an average 39% of radio locations for the three birds), Yew (32%), Sitka Spruce (17%), Lime (10%), Sycamore (1%) and Fir (
