‘Abyroy’ from status to contract: social honour in Kazakh culture

ABSTRACT It is accepted that rules regulating and controlling social behaviour exist in all societies. Accordingly, honour and shame constitute the two poles of social evaluation of individuals and their actions. In Kazakhstan, the concept of abyroy (honour), which is one of the two main determinants of social status along with the concept of uyat (shame), is remarkably visible as a regulator and determinant of social action both in the public sphere and within the framework of family or kinship relations. Of course, no matter how strong the authority of abyroy, it cannot escape being a part of social change. In this study, the meaning and function of abyroy in Kazakhstan, the way it is perceived and the contradictions it causes in the process of social change are analysed with the help of concrete observations and interviews in the field. For this purpose, firstly, the outlines of social honour and shame in terms of the structure of constructed and idealized types of society – traditional (status-based) society and modern (contract-based) society – are pointed out. Then, the concept of abyroy in traditional Kazakh society, where nomadic animal husbandry culture was the main determining factor, is discussed. In the last section, the function, meaning and consequences of abyroy depending on the changing sociocultural and economic environment are analysed in terms of social action. Based on this, it is concluded that the emergence and maintenance of two types of practices, in every field in the region due to historical and economic processes has caused a conflict between the codes of the status society and the codes of the contract society: while honour (abyroy) continues to preserve its traditional character to a large extent, its world of meaning has been expanded with modern codes, but since it has lost its traditional ground, it can survive with the concessions it has received from modernity.

Analysis of prospects and problems in the development of human resources for the employment of Ukrainian refugees

An influx of workers who have accumulated knowledge in labor markets other than the current one can have particularly large effects on the development of the host country's human resources. Other things being equal, a region with higher fluctuations in the number of highly skilled workers should be in a better position than a region with low mobility. Refugee laws are in constant evolution, reflecting the changing political, economic, and legal environments. This paper examines the situation that has developed in the Czech Republic after the arrival of a large number of refugees from Ukraine, in terms of their opportunities and prospects, as well as their ability to enter the labor market in accordance with their education and previous professional activities. The purpose of this study is to analyse the potential and obstacles to the labor integration of Ukrainian refugees, given the situation of uncertainty and the measures taken by the Czech government and state structures to receive refugees. The article considers the objective and subjective prerequisites for the labor integration of refugees, taking into account their socio-demographic characteristics and subjective intentions for the future.

The characteristics of the new dual-cycle development pattern and systemic financial risk based on TVP-SVAR and MS-VAR model analyses

The new development pattern of the dual cycle is an important strategic deployment by the Chinese government in response to the complex and changing economic environment and a new stage of economic development. Based on the perspective of this new dual-cycle development pattern, this paper explores the time-varying nonlinear relationship between this new development pattern and systemic financial risk by constructing two models: the TVP-SVAR-SV and the MS-VAR. The empirical results show that, first, there was a significant negative impulse response effect between the new dual-cycle development pattern and systemic financial risk. The inhibitory effects of the domestic cycle and short-term pulse response were more significant than those of the international cycle and medium- and long-term pulse responses. In addition, the inhibitory effect of the new dual-cycle development pattern on systemic financial risk exerted different impact effects at different timepoints, with significant variability. Second, there was a significant nonlinear relationship between the new development pattern and systemic financial risk. The MSIH(2)-VAR(1) model identified two regional states: the financial risk release stage and the financial risk accumulation stage. This effect lasted longer in zone 2 (financial risk accumulation phase), with a sample size of more than 60 % of the total sample and a duration of 6.12. Third, in the impulse response analysis of different zones, a mutually reinforcing effect was found between the domestic and international cycles, and both exerted a significant suppressive effect on systemic financial risk, which was more significant in zone 1. The findings of this paper have important theoretical and practical significance for constructing and perfecting the new dual-cycle development pattern, promoting the high-quality development of China's financial market, and preventing the accumulation and occurrence of systemic financial risk.

Stock Market Performance in the Face of External Shocks. Does ESG Compliance Immunize Against the Pandemic?

Purpose: This study explores the link between corporate social responsibility and enhanced stock market resilience during crises. It examines whether adherence to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles improves stock performance under economic stress. Methodology/approach: We use a standard event study with market model estimation to evaluate the impact of the first reported COVID-19 deaths on stock performance for companies in the STOXX Europe 600 and the S&P 500. Findings: The results show that capital market participants reward ESG performance during crises. Environmental and social factors enhance resilience, while corporate governance does not seem relevant in this context. Research limitations: The research focuses on the early COVID-19 pandemic stages, potentially missing long-term ESG dynamics. The sample comprises US and European companies, possibly limiting global generalizability. Practical implications: Understanding the relationship between ESG compliance and stock market resilience is crucial for investors, corporations, and policymakers to make informed decisions in a changing economic environment. Originality/value: This study demonstrates that during a pandemic, stock market resilience is driven by strong environmental and social performance rather than corporate governance, using a broad sample of US and European companies to highlight regional differences in ESG impact during crises.

Changes Under Pressure: Mapping Recent Developments in Long-Term Care Policy

Social, economic, and technological challenges have imposed transformations of the long-term care services in order to improve the system efficiency, the quality of services and the satisfaction of beneficiaries. The article aims to provide a review of the policy reforms and performance of the long-term care system in Romania. To support the effects of these transformations, a review of the scientific literature was conducted. We then highlighted characteristics of the current long-term care system that are evolving in response to the changing social and economic environment. Several issues related to the public financing, labor force, quality assurance, and unmet needs are discussed. The analysis suggests that evaluation of the long-term care system in terms of sustainability, health and quality of life of beneficiaries and their families impose a good coverage with long-term care quality services. Policy makers should ensure adequate collection of data to substantiate further policy measures, as well as full implementation of the long-term care policy.

THE IMPACT OF APPLYING INTERNATIONAL STANDARD NINE ON THE QUALITY OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION

There is an increasing need to find professional institutions that sponsor the work of companies in the financial and accounting fields due to the changes and developments taking place in the economic environments. Hence, the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, which includes many other sub-boards like the Financial Accounting Standards Board - FASB, has issued many scientific publications in financial and accounting fields. Furthermore, the International Accounting Standards Board, through its sub-boards, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board, has formulated several International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) to improve the quality of financial reporting and the transparency of the information it contains in a globally applicable and accepted manner. This information would reflect the current situation of economic institutions in terms of performance and financial position in response to changes in economic environments, and to meet the needs of This framework will be applied consistently across transactions, industries, and capital markets to improve the comparability of financial data between economic institutions operating in the same sector globally and within a comprehensive, unified, and stable framework.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

The article is devoted to the search for conceptual solutions to the problem of ensuring sustainable economic growth in the new unstable economic conditions. This topic remains extremely relevant in the modern world, where various challenges are faced, such as climate change, resource depletion, population growth, increased social inequality and other problems. The authors explore the evolution of the concept of sustainable development, highlighting various essential aspects of understanding the category of sustainability. In different time periods, climate change and environmental challenges, social justice and efficiency, global cooperation and risk management, digitalization and technological innovation have consistently been at the center of the problem of sustainable development. As a result, strategies to reduce the negative impact on the environment and adapt to climate change have been replaced by strategies of green technologies, which, in turn, have been replaced by strategies of international cooperation and coordination of actions by all members of society to solve global problems of our time. The authors prove the importance of considering not only environmental, but also social aspects when developing sustainable development strategies to ensure social justice and improve the quality of life of all segments of society. In conclusion, the authors conclude that risk management related to economic instability, environmental changes and other factors requires new strategies for sustainable development, which in turn is impossible without effective public management, public involvement, and informed decision-making.

Employment rates for working-age patients receiving hemodialysis increasing: Changing economic environment.

This study explored employment trends among working-age patients undergoing hemodialysis using 5-year surveys from 1996 to 2021. Policy changes affecting individuals with disabilities, the economic environment, and employment status among the general population in Japan were considered. Differences in trends by gender and health status were examined. Employment status was categorized into employment and nonemployment; and regular, nonregular, and self. Analytical data with similar characteristics were generated over the six surveys using the propensity score method. The employment rate, especially among women, increased from 1996 to 2021. However, the employment rate ratio to the general population was approximately 80% for men and 50% for women, even in 2021. The employment rate increased with an expansion in nonregular employment. Women's employment trends could be explained by changes in real gross domestic product and employment quotas for individuals with disabilities. Employment trends differ by gender and by regular versus nonregular employment.

Проблемы и перспективы реализации проектного финансирования в России в условиях нарастающих экономических санкций

Relevance: In recent years, Russia has faced a number of economic sanctions that have had a significant impact on its economy. These sanctions have restricted access to international financial markets, making it difficult to attract investment and realise projects. Project finance plays a key role in economic development, enabling companies to raise the necessary resources to realise major investment projects. However, in the context of sanctions, the effective use of this instrument is becoming a challenge. In a changing economic environment, companies and organisations need to adapt and seek new approaches to financing their projects. Researching this topic can help in finding effective solutions, as well as understanding how sanctions affect project finance and what strategies can be used to overcome these challenges. The purpose of this article is to analyse the current state of project finance in Russia and the world and to determine its prospects in the context of growing economic sanctions. Research methods: Statistical, economic and comparative analyses were used to identify trends in the global and Russian project finance market, as well as to determine the main problems and potential areas of development, The results of the article are based on the analysis of works of domestic and foreign economists and professional organisations in the field of project finance and economics in general. The results obtained can be used to identify further directions of project finance development, as well as to study the experience of work and organisation of project finance under sanctions.

A multiplex network approach to the self-organizing bonding and bridging social capital fostered among local residents: A case study of community currency in Korea under the Hanbat LETS

A variety of community currency systems have been adopted, implemented, and terminated among the local communities of Korea over the last two decades. Despite its volatility due to the economic, social, and political environmental changes occurring in Korean society, the Hanbat local exchange trading system (LETS) is regarded as an innovative practice in grassroots community currency schemes based on trust and cooperation among local residents and plays a critical role in promoting community rebuilding and the formation of a sharing economy in this area. This study is aimed at empirically investigating the microprocesses underlying the formation of multiple types of social capital—bonding, bridging, and linking social capital—that were observed in the transactions among the Hanbat LETS members through inferential network analysis. The findings show that bonding and bridging social capital coexist in both a singular (or uniplex) type and in distinct (or multiplex) types of transactional tie developments among the participants through this community currency system. By examining the ways in which these multiple types of social capital are fostered through a bottom-up approach focused on a community currency system, the results of this study suggest the potential roles played by peer-to-peer support exchanges and the sharing economy in a local community.
