Title: Impact of Financial Reporting Quality on Investment Efficiency around the Globe

Abstract: In developed markets, the documented enhancement of investment efficiency due to financial reporting quality has yet to address the question of whether such a correlation persists in emerging, frontier, and diverse markets. This study investigates the association between financial reporting quality and investment efficiency across 21,741 publicly listed firms spanning 36 countries worldwide, encompassing developed, emerging, frontier, and other markets. Comprehensive accounting data spanning the years 2000 to 2022 is gathered for all listed firms in 40 industries across these 36 countries having 166,453 firm-year observations. Causal connections are examined through fixed-effect regression analysis, supplemented by additional tests and robustness checks utilizing alternative proxies. Endogeneity concerns are mitigated through 2SLS analysis. The results reveal a positive impact of financial reporting quality on investment efficiency for firms in developed, emerging, frontier, and other markets. Our exploration of both over-investment and under-investment scenarios demonstrates a more pronounced link between financial reporting quality and investment efficiency in the underinvestment scenario. These findings contribute to the existing body of evidence, indicating that beyond its influence on investment efficiency in developed markets, the relationship between financial reporting quality and investment efficiency holds globally. This encompasses emerging, frontier, and other markets, characterized by varying levels of reporting quality and financial frameworks.

Keywords: Investment Efficiency, Financial Reporting Quality, Developed Markets, Emerging Markets, Frontier Markets

Title: Central State Vs Regional Autonomy - Political Elite's Action Strategy

Abstract: The role of the autonomous institutions is significant in the elaboration of the specific strategies conducive for the political elite of either regional autonomy or central state to achieve their territorial, political and economic goals. Functional autonomous institutions enable the political elite to mobilize its ethnic group and radicalize demands. Rational assessment of the geographic location, instrumentalization of primordial markers (focus on historical memory) and constructivist ascriptions along with structural situation in and out of both, the autonomy and central state defines contemplated ethnic politics with far-going consequences of the both, central state and autonomy. Autonomy’s political elite activates primordial ascriptions, as well as, constructionist attitudes, considers geographic location to mobilize ethnic followers, press claims for secession and influence central authority to upgrade autonomous status through negotiations or violent confrontation. The Central state political elite’s decision about action strategy selection depends on the structure of situation inside and outside of the country. While operationalizing selected strategy central administration applies primordial and constructivist approaches to impact local authority’s decision- making process.  Two autonomous republics of the Russian Federation, Tatarstan and Chechnya, are explored in the first decade after collapse of the Soviet Union to test theoretically identified factors impacting formation of ethnic politics and action strategies in the central state and autonomy. The methods’ triangulation (process-tracing method, discourse analysis of the official document and public speeches and semi-structured interviewing) was utilized to validate the research findings. On its way to upgrade autonomous status, Tatarstan built civic nationalism guaranteeing peaceful coexistence of the ethnic groups. Chechnya’s oppressive historic experience intensified rigid ethnic politics leading to protracted ethnic confrontation.

Keywords: Ethnic Conflict; Autonomy; Political Elite; Historical Memory; Action Strategies; Civic And Ethnic Nationalism.

Title: Polygamy in Focus: A Discourse on Societal Norms, Rights, and Practical Challenges

Abstract: This article delves into the multifaceted perspectives on polygamy, specifically focusing on why a woman might opt to become a co-wife. The study, conducted in a private Facebook group for women who are part of or interested in polygamous relationships, unveils that societal norms, religious convictions, and individual situations greatly shape the views on polygamy. Despite certain Muslim feminist groups advocating for the restriction of polygamy to specific scenarios, both men and women have their unique interpretations and applications of the principle, often extending beyond the confines of the Qur'anic context. However, these theories don't fully encompass the practical responsibilities and potential hurdles tied to polygamy. The study also exposed that polygamy, commonly perceived from a male-centric viewpoint, could also be interpreted as a woman's right, particularly when she is the instigator of the marriage. In summary, the research provides both theoretical insights and pragmatic implications, allowing us to perceive polygamy not just as a male prerogative but also as a potential social support structure for women.

Title: Work-Life Balance as Mediator between Financial Well- Being and Turnover Intention: Moderated by Work Sector of Employees in Central Luzon, Philippines

Abstract: The mediating role of work life balance on the relationship between financial well-being and turnover intention was investigated in this study. Moreover, the possible moderation of work sector was explored. The respondents include the millennial workforce from private and public organizations in Central Luzon, Philippines. The research utilized quantitative approach to assess the relationships between the variables. To quantify the responses, adopted instrument was used and distributed to respondents. The respondents were chosen using purposive sampling design. Data gathered were treated using Partial least square – structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) through WarpPls 8.0 software. The findings revealed that significant effects were observed on the following: financial well-being on work life balance; work life balance on turnover intention; and financial well-being on turnover intention. Moreover, work life balance was found to partially mediate between financial well-being and turnover intention. However, the moderating effect of work sector on the relationships of the variables was found to be not statistically significant. Given the finding of the study, conclusions were drawn and recommendations were provided to address the issues.

Keywords: Work Life Balance, Financial Well-being, Turnover Intention, Work Sector, PLS-SEM

Title: The Use of Socio-Economic Aspects as a Tool Affecting the Security and Stability of Society

Abstract: Socio-economic aspects are nowadays one of the most important factors for the safety and stability of society. According to them, the possibility of the emergence of pathogenic anomalies threatening the stability of society can be predicted. Based on this fact, it is possible to implement preliminary measures to prevent the occurrence of extraordinary events well in time´s advance. The given theory can be demonstrated on the models of E.W. Burgess concentric zonal structure of the city and on Harris & Ullman multi-core model of the city. Thanks to knowledge from sociology and safety engineering we can to present, how the security and stability of society in a given location can be moved to a higher level, if we know very wel socio-economic aspects of society.

Keywords: Protection, Safety, Society, Stability, Zonal Structure of Cities
