Authors: Diem Ngo Phuong Nhat , Hiep Le Tuan 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: This study aims to assess whether listed companies comply with regulations on social responsibility disclosure and the regulatory role of CEO power impact earnings management.

Theoretical framework: corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a decisive factor in business performance and is consequential to the sustainable existence of enterprises in the world's competitive environment (Buckingham, 2012; Mark, 2012; Yinyoung et al., 2016; Enric, 2018) and also a concern in the context of many concerns about social and environmental issues.

Design/methodology/approach: The study uses a data sample of 418 companies listed on the two stock exchanges HOSE and HNX in the period 2016 - 2020 through the method of general feasible least squares (FGLS) to measure the impact of corporate social responsibility and the impact of social responsibility with the regulation of CEO power on earnings management.

Findings: This empirical evidence has provided reliable evidence to help listed companies have the incentive to comply with regulations on CSR disclosure to increase their prestige and attract investment.

Research, Practical & Social implications: The research results admit that companies that comply with regulations on CSR disclosure have limited profit management, and in the case of influential executives, the impact of CSR on profit management is more substantial.

Originality/value: the study only examines the impact of CSR combined with CEO power, so it is not possible to have an overview of the CEO's impact on the implementation of corporate CSR on EM and CSR in the regulation of corporate governance to EM. Therefore, this is the author's future research direction when considering this issue.

Authors: Asrun Andi Muhammad 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present some ethical issues facing the Indonesian judiciary by exploring the usefulness of judicial codes of ethics. The ethical crisis of judges occurred at a time when judicial independence was strong post the amendment of the 1945 Constitution. The judicial crises triggered uncertainty and pessimism about judicial accountability

Theoretical framework: Legal literature states that fair, honest, and impartial legal processes cannot be separated from that of ​​an independent judiciary [Shugermann, 2010: 1061]. The independence and impartiality of the court as one of the ten minimum conditions for creating a constitutional society.

Design/methodology/approach: In this study, the author conducted normative legal research. This method helps examine the juridical standards contained in laws and court decisions. Furthermore, library research was conducted to obtain data from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials.

Findings: Despite the judiciary gaining strong independence following the amendments of the 1945 Constitution in 2001–2002, unfortunately, the judiciary suffers from an accountability crisis, as seen through the arrests of several judges for bribery.

Research, Practical & Social implications: We hope that this research can bring awareness and increase adherence to the code of ethics of the judicial profession.

Originality/value: It is hoped that the ideas and issues raised in this paper will help the judiciary recognize the importance of developing, maintaining, and, most importantly, honouring a code of ethics in keeping with the ethical obligations of the judicial office.

Background: the COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions may be particularly harmful for adolescents; however, evidence about changes in adolescent mental health during the pandemic is inconsistent.The aim was to examine changes in levels of Russian adolescent mental health and rates of substance use during the COVID-19 pandemic.Participants and methods: two cohorts of 11–18-year-old adolescents were recruited from Siberian cities in 2015–18 (n = 1774, 47% male) and in 2020–21 (n = 1747, 43% male). Participants completed identical sets of questionnaires: the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, Body Image and Eating Distress scale and items on tobacco, alcohol and drug use. We examined the effect of cohort, gender and age using linear models.Results: in the 2020–21 cohort, depression, anxiety and psychosomatic symptoms, total mental health problems and levels of substance use were higher than in the 2015–18 cohort. Increases in emotional symptoms and total mental health problems were similar in both genders, whereas increases in rates of smoking and alcohol use were significant only among girls.Conclusions: the present findings indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic experience was likely to be stressful for adolescents. Therefore, more research on risk and protective factors of Russian adolescent mental health is needed. The findings also suggest that preventative interventions should be based on gender-specific patterns of adolescent substance use.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: current diagnostic opportunities at different stages of the disease and scientific developments in treatment. Review
Authors: Fadieienko G. D. , Nikiforova Y. V. 
Published: March 2023

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a widespread disease and a major challenge for health care systems worldwide. Disease severity and end‑stage disease vary considerably among patients, so there is a need to identify those at greatest risk of disease progression. NAFLD is often asymptomatic, but should be suspected in individuals with risk factors. Marked liver fibrosis is the strongest predictor of long‑term mortality in patients with NAFLD and is one of the risk factors for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Liver biopsies are the gold standard for diagnosing the stage of liver fibrosis. However, this is an invasive procedure that cannot be widely used in a daily clinical practice. Therefore, there is a constant search for non‑invasive and safe biomarkers.
The purpose of this publication is to analyze and summarize the current research results of non‑invasive tests for fibrosis, as well as scientific developments in the NAFLD treatment, which can be widely used in daily clinical practice. Non‑invasive methods of diagnosing liver fibrosis can be divided into biochemical serum tests (serological) and morphological. Serum markers of fibrosis are studied based on participation in the mechanisms of fibrogenesis and fibrolysis. The authors outlined the effectiveness of different scales including different markers of fibrosis, but for widespread use in clinical practice, it is recommended to use simple and accessible tests and scales. One of the modern and safe instrumental diagnostic methods is transient elastography, which has excellent effectiveness for diagnosing liver fibrosis, predicting the development of HCC and other clinical stages. Two‑dimensional shear wave elastography is a new technique that provides real‑time imaging of stiffness. Further studies are needed to establish specific markers of liver fibrosis based on further clinical and molecular studies.
Recommendations for patients’ lifestyle changing with individualized approach to the non‑drug treatment administration are stated to be important for curation of patients with NAFLD. If patients adhere to such recommendations, the overall benefit for NAFLD regression and health can be quite significant. However, due to the insufficient compliance of some patients with non‑drug treatment, a constant search for candidate molecules for NAFLD treatment is conducted. At the current stage, there are no approved recommendations for drug treatment, thus the research in this direction is ongoing. The article provides up‑to‑date information on the stages of studying the main existing molecules
Modification of the intestinal microbiota under the influence of combined treatment to prevent the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Authors: Kushnir I. E. , Solomentseva T. A. 
Published: March 2023

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common disease with a steadily increasing incidence. Clinical and experimental studies of recent years testify to the key role of intestinal microbiota (IM) imbalance in the development and progression of NAFLD.
Objective — to determine the effects of combined therapy on the state of the intestinal microbiota and to prevent the progression of NAFLD.
Materials and methods. Investigation involved 108 patients NAFLD with metabolic disorders and 30 people of the control group, who were examined on the basis of the Department of Gastroenterology and Therapy, and out‑patient ward of the L. T. Malaya Therapy National Institute. Women prevailed in both investigated groups. The mean age of NAFLD patients was 54.6 ± 11.7 years. NAFLD patients were randomized into two comparable groups based on quantity, gender and age. Both groups received non‑drug therapy (correction of nutrition, increased physical activity). In addition, group I (60 patients) received ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in a dose of 1000 mg, and probiotic preparation «Yogurt» capsules (2 billion active CFU cells) orally 1 capsule three times a day during meals. Comparison group II (48 patients) received only UDCA in a dose of 1000 mg. Treatment duration was 12 weeks. The patients were examined before and at the end of the treatment, with determination of the levels of main IM phyla, endotoxin, fetuin A. The dynamics of the degree of liver steatosis and fibrosis were also evaluated. Statistical processing was carried out using the package Statistica 13.1 using non‑parametric methods.
Results. Additional administration of the probiotic drug resulted in the significant reduction of the Firmicutes quantity with simultaneous slight increase in the Bacteroidetes levels, but the changes did not reach the indicators of the control group. At the same time, the diversity of IM increased. The improvement of the IM balance was accompanied by a significant decrease of endotoxin level in patients with NAFLD who received combined therapy with the involvement of probiotic yogurt capsules. Under the influence of the developed treatment, a tendency to decrease the degree of liver steatosis and fibrosis was observed. In comparison group II, the dynamics of restoration of the liver tissue structure was less pronounced.
Conclusions. The developed therapy positively contributed to improving the intestinal microbiota state, normalizing the functional state of the intestinal epithelial barrier, and reducing endotoxemia. The use of the developed complex therapy reduced the degree of fatty infiltration of hepatocytes and stopped the progression of liver fibrosis in the initial stages.
