Why Do ESG Rating Differences Affect Audit Fees?—Dual Intermediary Path Analysis Based on Operating Risk and Analyst Earnings Forecast Error

As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues become increasingly important, ESG ratings have become a significant factor influencing audit fees for businesses. However, ESG ratings are typically assessed by multiple agencies or rating firms and, due to differences in evaluation criteria, methodologies, and data sources, the ratings provided by different institutions may vary considerably. Therefore, research on the impact of discrepancies in ESG ratings on audit fees is of great significance. This paper examines this phenomenon by analyzing a sample of Chinese listed companies from 2015 to 2022, yielding 3056 observational values through various methodologies. The study employs two-way fixed effects methods. The findings indicate that discrepancies in ESG ratings significantly elevate enterprises’ audit expenses, with operating risk and analyst earnings forecast errors serving as intermediary factors. Additionally, media attention intensifies these effects by increasing corporate disclosure, intensifying regulatory pressure, and heightening reputational risks for the company, and the positive impact of ESG rating discrepancies on audit fees is more significant when the “Big 4” accounting firms are involved in the audit. The research offers insights for enterprises, auditors, and regulatory bodies, contributing to the enhanced implementation of the ESG concept and fostering sustainable enterprise development.

Review of the Problems and Legal Protection for Parties in the Implementation of Authentic Deeds Made Based on the Cyber Notary Concept in Indonesia

In the ever-evolving digital era, information technology has had a significant impact on various aspects of life, including in the fields of law and notary. One of the important innovations that has emerged is the concept of cyber notary, which uses digital technology in making authentic deeds, replacing conventional methods. It is hoped that cyber notary can increase efficiency, transparency, and accessibility in notary services, as well as reduce bureaucracy that often takes time and costs. However, the implementation of the cyber notary concept in Indonesia faces various complex problems. One of the main issues is the legal validity of deeds made digitally, including the recognition of electronic signatures and the process of authenticating the identities of the parties. In addition, data security and privacy protection are challenges in ensuring that information stored and transmitted digitally is not misused or hacked. On the other hand, the current regulations do not fully accommodate cyber notary practices. Legal gaps and unclear regulations create uncertainty for notaries and the parties who use their services. This reinforces the urgency to examine more deeply the need for comprehensive and adaptive legal updates to technological developments. This study focuses on the analysis of the problems in the implementation of authentic deeds based on cyber notary and legal protection for the parties involved. With a normative legal approach, this study aims to identify the main challenges and provide recommendations for policy makers and legal practitioners to improve the existing legal framework. It is hoped that the solutions found can support digital transformation in the notary sector in Indonesia, creating a more efficient, secure, and reliable system.

Research on the Driving Mechanism and Realization Path of High-Quality Development of China's Outdoor Sports Industry under the Perspective of Chinese Modernization

Chinese modernization provides an important theoretical basis and practical guidance for the high-quality development of China's outdoor sports industry. The outdoor sports industry is not only an important part of meeting people's needs for a better life, but also an important means to promote regional economic development and achieve green and sustainable development. Through the method of literature and logical analysis, it was found that the current development of the China's outdoor sports industry still has problems such as imperfect policies and systems, incomplete industrial chains and unbalanced regional development, insufficient scientific and technological innovation capabilities and product homogeneity, weak outdoor sports cultural foundation and inadequate implementation of the green development concept. Therefore, based on the connotation and requirements of high-quality development, the dynamic mechanism of the development of the outdoor sports industry was systematically sorted out combining theory with practice, including policies, market demand, scientific and technological innovation, culture and values, ecology and other dimensions. On this basis, the path to achieve high-quality development of China's outdoor sports industry was proposed, including optimizing the policy system environment, promoting industrial structure optimization, strengthening scientific and technological innovation drive, cultivating outdoor sports culture, and practicing green development concepts. The study believes that building a scientific and reasonable dynamic mechanism and a systematic implementation path are of great significance for promoting China's outdoor sports industry to move towards high-quality development and helping to achieve Chinese modernization.

PERFORMANCE-BASED SEISMIC RETROFIT DESIGN FOR RC FRAMES USING FRP COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) members using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials has become a well-established technique for repairing and strengthening seismically deficient systems. Although there has been significant progress on behavioral modeling of FRP retrofitted RC members as well as on implementation of performance-based analysis and design concepts, the studies investigating the overall seismic behavior of the retrofitted frames are still limited. This paper presents a methodology for performance-based FRP retrofit design for RC frames and provides an analytical investigation of this through numerical studies performed on 2-D frame models with different retrofit configurations. More specifically, frame systems with square or rectangular columns were assumed to be retrofitted through FRP strengthening of beams for improved flexural capacity and/or wrapping of columns for additional confinement and resulting ductility. Nonlinear pushover analyses of frames before and after retrofitting were performed using nonlinear hinge parameters determined from moment-curvature analyses based on comparative use of various steel- and FRP-confined concrete models proposed in the literature. Analysis results reveal the expected contribution of each retrofit configuration to the seismic behavior and performance of the frames, highlighting various design considerations for proper FRP retrofit decisions.

The practice of social responsibility at Polish universities: a study of current trends

Background: Multidimensionality, as well as the potential benefits of social responsibility of universities (SRU) described in the literature, prompts in-depth research into the actual implementation of this concept by universities. In Poland, it is only since 2017 that higher education institutions have started to declare the implementation of its principles. Research objectives: The aim of this article is to present the results of research concerning the practical implementation of the idea of social responsibility at Polish HEIs. The literature review was supplemented with empirical research based on the analysis and evaluation of information on SRU available on HEIs’ websites (random selection was used for this purpose). The research was conducted in the period July-September 2023. Research design and methods: A review of the literature on the subject was supplemented with empirical research. The research was based on the analysis and evaluation of information on SRU available on the websites of higher education institutions. It was conducted in the period July-September 2023, and a random selection of institutions that had signed the Declaration of Social Responsibility of Universities between 2017 and 2022 was evaluated. Results: The research resulted in a list of good practices, as well as recommendations for improvement measures for universities that have formally declared the implementation of SRU principles in practice. Conclusions: Higher education stakeholders (internal and external), especially management, have a decisive influence on the practical implementation of the SRU concept. It is their awareness and determination that determines whether social responsibility will be developed in a real and tangible way by all university partners.

Legal Implications for the BRICS Countries in the Carbon Trading System Through Carbon Exchanges: Perspective from the Precautionary Principle

The largest emitting countries in the world are predominantly developing countries, including the BRICS countries. The general principle of “climate justice” asserts that the largest emitting countries should take the lead in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The legal implications for the implementation of climate change mitigation efforts play an active role in the implementation and establishment of the carbon exchange concept in the context of the carbon trading system. The urgency of listing on the carbon exchange is driven by the precautionary principle of global carbon accounting, which aims to avoid the risk of carbon leakage. The purpose of this research is to examine the obligation of emitting countries to make ambitious efforts towards reducing their greenhouse gas emissions while also upholding the basic principles of accountability and transparency. Offsetting the amount of carbon emitted by each country is largely calculated based on carbon credits purchased. In order to prevent double counting, carbon exchanges have the responsibility of recording the sale of carbon units with certificates issued under a “polluter pays” system.

The problem of Ukraine's readiness to implement the concept of the cultural direction of road safety

The article examines the fundamental problem of our time - improving road safety. Foreign practice in this area shows that achieving the goal of the Swedish prevention model Vision Zero - a gradual reduction, and by 2050, the complete elimination of road accidents with serious consequences - is possible, provided, among other things, that the country, its authorities, business, and citizens are ready to take a full, real interest and responsibility in the implementation of the national Concept for the Prevention of Road Traffic Offenses. The history of implementation of conceptual approaches of different orientations in Ukraine and their incorporation into successive strategies and state programs over the past 15-20 years shows that none of them has been fully implemented. In this regard, the article examines such signs of readiness for implementation as the possibility and ability to implement a complex integrated concept of the cultural direction of transport offenses prevention. The study confirms that at this historical period, Ukraine is not ready for its full and, most importantly, effective implementation. It takes time and resources. Proposals are made regarding the prospects for overcoming these urgent difficulties in the post-war period. Ukraine is capable of solving this problem in its resource context.

Implementation of Ibnu Khaldun's Thoughts in Islamic Education in the Era of Society 5.0: Holistic and Contextual Approach

Humans were created by Allah SWT as servants (abd) and leaders (khalifah fil ardh), which requires humans to base every action on knowledge. The importance of knowledge has been emphasized in the Al-Qur'an (QS. At-Taubah: 122) and the hadith of the Prophet SAW, which emphasizes knowledge as a necessity in all aspects of life. In the era of Society 5.0, a human-centered society concept that integrates the virtual and physical worlds, education is a crucial means for developing technological capabilities while maintaining human morality and character. One solution is the application of Ibnu Khaldun's thinking which emphasizes education as a tool for transferring knowledge, building character and morality. This research uses a pure library research method using a descriptive analytical approach. This research aims to examine the implementation of Ibnu Khaldun's educational concept to answer the challenges of the Society 5.0 era. With a holistic and contextual approach, it is hoped that Islamic education will be created that is adaptive and relevant. Research implications include developing a holistic curriculum that integrates intellectual, moral and spiritual values; responsiveness to social and technological change through updating curriculum and learning methods; emphasis on practical skills with innovative methods such as project-based learning; as well as increasing teacher competency through pedagogical and technological training. In conclusion, Ibnu Khaldun's thoughts offer a solid foundation for Islamic education in the Society 5.0 era. Education not only forms a generation that is competent in technology but is also rooted in Islamic values, creating individuals who are characterful, wise, and ready to face global challenges.

Corporate social responsibility and sustainable development goals in higher education: a literature review from 2014 to 2023

Purpose Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the sustainable development goals (SDGs) have multiple interactions with higher education institutions (HEIs), and CSR strategies present a remarkable importance for companies and society, being necessary for universities to provide teaching and research within this topic. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the practical implications of the implementation of sustainability concepts in HEIs and, by extension, in society. Design/methodology/approach A sample formed by papers obtained from WoS (Web of Science) and Scopus databases was used (34 papers from WoS and 30 papers from Scopus). Both bibliometric and content analysis were performed to better understand the main characteristics of the sample, such as the most prolific countries and universities, as well as the main practical implications of each of the 64 papers analyzed. Findings The findings show the state of the art of the literature about sustainability and responsible management education published between 2014 and 2023. This paper also reports results like the most prolific authors and universities, the most cited papers and authors and the yearly production of papers, among other data. Implementing CSR and sustainability courses in HEIs curricula has a plurality of practical implications for businesses, the academic institutions and for society. Research limitations/implications The sample is limited because it is formed of papers written in English only, and that affects the productivity figures of both Spanish and Latin American universities. Having used a single piece of software for bibliometric analysis also limits the scope and depth of the results. Practical implications By analyzing a sample of 64 papers with different practical implications, this paper offers important data and practical ideas for HEIs to implement sustainability and responsible management education in their curricula, as well as of University Social Responsibility (USR) practices implementation. The paper also offers some insight into practical experiences with sustainability education for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as advice for policymakers. Originality/value The paper’s originality and value are trifold: First, it links CSR and the SDGs with HEIs. Second, it combines a bibliometric analysis with a content analysis, creating added value for the research. And third, this paper studies the effect of the impact of CSR both in HEIs and in society.

Pilot Implementation of a Primary Care Disease Management Concept for Venous Leg Ulceration: Results of a Mixed-Methods Process Evaluation.

Within the project "Ulcus Cruris Care", a disease management intervention to improve general practice care for patients with venous leg ulcer was developed, comprising online teaching for practice teams, standardized patient education, and case management. Implementation of the intervention was piloted and evaluated via a process evaluation. This study aims to evaluate contentedness with the intervention, implementation effort, implementation determinants, intervention fidelity, and perceived intervention effects using a mixed-methods process evaluation. The mixed-methods process evaluation explored the views of general practitioners, medical assistants and patients regarding the intervention components. Data were collected through semi-structured telephone interviews and a survey questionnaire. Qualitative data were first analyzed inductively, followed by a deductive-inductive approach based on the Theoretical Domains Framework. Survey data were analyzed descriptively. Participants (n = 21) reported a strong contentedness with the intervention, high intervention fidelity, low implementation effort, and a change in perception of compression therapy as the central treatment element. Healthcare professionals emphasized increased patient education and patient and family involvement. Patients reported feeling better informed and empowered to take an active role in their treatment, primarily due to increased knowledge and skills in compression therapy. As a result, they were more content with their care and reported positive experiences with wound healing since trial participation. The Ulcus Cruris Care intervention can lead to a noticeable change in knowledge and potentially influence practice teams' approach to venous leg ulcer management, facilitating a significantly more frequent use of compression therapy in VLU care. A confirmatory evaluation of potential effects in a definitive RCT seems warranted.

Industrial Sufficiency: A Conceptual Methodological Framework

Implementing sustainability strategies is essential for the future viability of companies. While companies have been focusing intensively on the operationalization of efficiency and consistency for quite some time, sufficiency approaches are rare. As a result, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of the concept, its inherent potential, as well as a lack of basic implementation concepts for strategies, management systems, and product and process development. Based on a literature review using Scopus and Web of Science according to the PRISMA approach, this paper develops a definition for the concept of industrial sufficiency and presents three general industrial sufficiency strategies (frugality, longevity, and specificity) regarding three distinct business determinants (product, production, and business model). The investigation shows that not only can there be overlaps between the three general sustainability strategies (efficiency, consistency, and sufficiency) but that individual measures are also mutually dependent at different levels. In addition, significant conflicts of objectives for implementation in industrial practice are revealed.

Double materiality implementation and its impact on sustainability reporting: Findings from Polish early adopter reports

Purpose: The paper aims to present whether and how the implementation of the double materiality concept by early adopters has already changed the content of their reported sustainability matters, i.e., those that are identified and assessed as material. Moreover, the study analyzes how these companies conducted the double materiality process in practice. Methodology/approach: The research focuses on the content analysis of the 2023 sustainability reporting of Polish companies that declared they had carried out the double materiality process (early adopters). Companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange included in the index WIG 20 were selected for the case study analysis. Their process of determining materiality was analyzed according to the requirements defined in ESRS 2 in DR IRO-1. Findings: The analysis highlights that implementing double materiality implementation by early adopters has changed the content of their sustainability reporting (i.e., the range of sustainability-related matters identified as material). It also changed the content of their disclosures about the materiality determination process. The study presents key factors driving changes in the content of ESG reports. Gaps in disclosures about the double materiality process conducted by companies were identified, and the root causes for incomplete disclosure on this process were identified. Originality/value: This is one of the first empirical studies to present the practical consequences of implementing double materiality in Polish companies and its influence on the reported sustainability-related matters.

Legal basis for the implementation of the "Smart City" concept in Ukraine

The article is devoted to the legal framework of the ‘Smart City’ concept. The author concludes that it is an innovative tool for ensuring sustainable urban development and post-war recovery. Its components may be determined depending on the state of development of the State, as well as socio-economic, cultural and historical features of a particular locality. Despite the importance of this concept for the development of human settlements in line with EU policy, the concept of a smart city is not regulated by law in Ukraine. The subordinate legal act of the Concept for the Development of the Digital Economy and Society of Ukraine for 2018-2020, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on 17 January 2018, No. 67-p, is fragmentary and declarative, as it does not specify the specific timeframes, measures, resources necessary for the actual implementation of the areas outlined in it, as well as the indicators necessary to assess the results achieved. The Law of Ukraine ‘On Local Self­Government in Ukraine’ of 21.05.1997 No. 280/97- ВР does not contain provisions that would directly define the powers of local self-government bodies to implement the smart city concept in practice, which requires appropriate amendments. At the same time, in modern conditions, the general provisions of the said legal act can be relied upon for the practical implementation of the smart city concept. The primary act that should be adopted at the local level for the practical development of a smart city should be a city conceptual project for the implementation of Smart City. It should take into account the urgent problems of city development, the digital technologies appropriate for the project, and the sources of its funding. This project should pay considerable attention to the municipal sector of the economy and the development of municipal infrastructure. A possible measure to optimise this process could be the creation of a cluster that could include utility companies, private businesses, condominiums, and research institutions. Prior to the approval of the conceptual project for the implementation of the Smart City concept, the city’s territorial community, NGOs, and the business environment should be discussed, and the final version should take into account the reasonable comments.

Climate Change Education in a Secondary School, the I‐CHANGE Project Approach

ABSTRACTRaising the awareness and interest of young generations for climate change phenomena and its impacts is a topic of great importance from a social and cultural standpoint. Along these lines, education plays a crucial role to meet the goals of the EU's Green Deal both through direct interplay with students and information spillover towards families and in general stakeholders at large. Inspired by these ideas, the H2020 I‐CHANGE project (Individual Change of HAbits Needed for Green European transition, 2021–2025, https://ichange‐project.eu/) aims at engaging and promoting the active participation of citizens for addressing climate change, sustainable development, and environmental protection. By taking into consideration the ongoing fast socio‐cultural change, the vertical growth of digital media, and, therefore, the new ways children and young people learn, this paper presents a possible path towards the practical implementation of key EU's Green Deal concepts in a secondary school, building on top of Episode of Situated Learning (ESL) methodology.
