Stakeholders’ perspectives on critical success factors for environmental social and governance (ESG) implementation

Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) has emerged as a sensitive issue, attracting the attention of a large audience that could not be ignored. Government bodies continue to pass regulations mandating organizations to comply with ESG principles. However, many organizations have had unsatisfactory results while promoting sustainability ideals due to various challenges. To achieve ESG goals, the present study offers a thorough framework for ESG implementation across organizations based on the critical success factor (CSF) theory and the opinions of diverse stakeholders. Following a literature review and brainstorming with ESG experts and academicians, a survey questionnaire was sent to 400 respondents to evaluate the 20 factors identified as ‘super-set’ CSFs for ESG implementation. This paper represents a novel attempt in ESG research as it conducts a survey supported by exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The interactions between the significant CSFs were studied by employing total interpretative structural modeling (TISM) and fuzzy MICMAC approach. ESG implementation is found to be highly driven by firm characteristics, earnings quality, and environmental performance, which can be argued to be the fundamental determinants of ESG implementation. According to these findings, organizations' leadership should (1) focus on effectively structuring firms' attributes to swiftly operate the ESG implementation framework, (2) ensure consistent business earnings that signal improved future performance, and (3) continuously monitor and assess their environmental performance. These efforts should be supported by engaging with diverse stakeholder groups, each playing its respective role in ESG implementation. Consequently, ESG implementation across organizations is anticipated to accelerate with thoughtful organizational coordination, strategic planning, and compliance with authoritative policies. However, rather than solely focusing on creating ESG disclosure laws, policymakers should also focus on creating better ESG outcomes through effective ESG implementation. Therefore, this research offers valuable insights into improving ESG practices, which facilitates the adoption of mandatory ESG disclosure regulations.

Problems of civil protection of residential buildings in the cities of Ukraine in the context of sustainable development

The problems of civil defense (CD) of the population are relevant in the formation of new residential buildings and the reconstruction of existing residential areas from the point of view of urban planning organization of residential areas in the cities of Ukraine. The need to determine the compliance of the regulatory and legal provision of the civil defense process and the principles and techniques of the formation of residential buildings with protective structures in the conditions of military operations is one of the primary tasks. The largest number of defensive structures is being built in cities close to the existing front line. New requirements for the construction of protective structures form a new look of modern Ukrainian cities based on the latest research on threats of a military and terrorist nature. The existing methods of ensuring CD expose the lack of comprehensiveness in solving this problem. The need to provide residential buildings with protective structures exposes the need for rethinking their typology, implementing the latest scientific and technical achievements. The analysis of the existing situation of protective structures (shelters and storages) and the trend of building new ones indicates the problems faced by the spheres of architecture, urban planning and civil defense of Ukraine. Fragmentation and episodic nature in the provision of civil protection can be understood as a forced response to current challenges, however, in the future, this all-encompassing field must also be large-scale and take into account modern trends - sustainable development and the creation of a truly safe space for people and the surrounding environment.

Competence Framework-Based Assessment to Foster Sustainability Management

Urgent actions are needed both individually and collectively to reach the targets set by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. The complex issues of sustainability and climate change set the need for new skills and competences. Education systems worldwide need to integrate competence development into their agenda to achieve a sustainable transition. Higher education institutions have a crucial role in decreasing the gap between the graduated students' competences and the requirements of the labour market. In the pursuit of a workforce prepared for the complexities of the 21st-century workplace, this paper explores the interplay between European competence frameworks and transversal skills. Using a comparative analysis of four frameworks—DigComp, EntreComp, LifeComp, and GreenComp—we identify distinct features and cross-reference competences with transversal skills. As a result, media and information literacy emerges as a crucial transversal skill across all frameworks. This study offers valuable insights for strategic decision-making in talent development and organizational planning, aligning education with the dynamic demands of today’s society. The findings underscore the key role of transversal skills in preparing individuals for the 21st century labour market.

Diversification into the civilian goods sphere makes it possible to use the defense industry complex competencies and resources to strengthen the country’s technological sovereignty and move towards technological leadership. The purpose of the study is to substantiate a set of measures for forming institutional environment and management system of defense-industrial complex diversification. The article considers the foreign experience of defense industry diversification and identifies the principles of interest for Russian enterprises. The systemic difficulties of defense industry complex diversification of methodological, institutional, organizational, socio-economic nature have been revealed. The fundamental bases for its effective implementation have been substantiated, including institutional conditions formation with a special administrative and legal regime, strategic technology transfer system organization, scientific and technological forecasting and planning system, the creation of a defense-industrial complex diversification three-level management system and a legal framework. The basis for the latter should be the federal law “On Diversification of the Defense Industrial Complex Organizations’ Activities”, and the first step should be the preparation of the Defense Industrial Complex Organizations’ Activities Diversification Concept.

Balanced scorecard approach to measuring the performance of a non-profit organization: Case study on a Waqf-based Pesantren in Indonesia

This study explores how the Balanced Scorecard is useful to investigate its application in non-profit organizations, particularly in Waqf-based Pesantrens. The Balanced Scorecard considers four aspects: financial, customer, internal business, and growth and learning. The financial perspective relied on the institution’s annual report, while customer perspectives were collected via a questionnaire distributed among 100 individuals who regularly contribute to the charitable organization. Data used to evaluate learning performance, growth, and internal business came from Pesantren directors and managers through stakeholder interviews. The results demonstrate that, among these aspects, the customer perspective holds the most significance for non-profit organizations such as Waqf-based Pesantren institutions, receiving the highest score of 43. Next comes the financial aspect with a score of 21.86, while growth and learning and internal business share a score of 20 each. This emphasizes the crucial role of prioritizing the needs of customers in the strategic planning of non-profit organizations, specifically in Waqf-based Pesantren institutions. The results contribute insights for these organizations to enhance their strategic management practices by emphasizing the importance of the customer perspective in their decision-making processes.

Водные объекты в архитектурном и социокультурном пространстве города (на примере средневекового Дербента)

Derbent is the southernmost and the most ancient city of Russia. Extensive archaeological studies confirm the 5,000-year history of the city, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2003. Being an ‘open-air museum’, it has many architectural objects that have not yet been fully explored. The article analyses historical and cultural sources. These sources confirm that water objects are a city-forming factor that determined the organisational development and architecture of the city. The purpose of the paper is to analyse the objects related to water resources of medieval Derbent and to identify their significance in relation to the organisation of socio-cultural space. The author pays much attention to the description of urban water bodies that have survived to the present day. The water facilities examined show that the architectural style and materials used for construction created a unified urban environment and were part of the organisational planning of the city's development.

Overall survival with palbociclib (PAL) plus an aromatase inhibitor (AI) versus AI alone in older patients (pts) with de novo, HR+/HER2− metastatic breast cancer: A SEER-Medicare analysis.

1111 Background: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor in combination with endocrine therapy (CDK4/6i) is the current standard of care in first line (1L) treatment for hormone receptor–positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2–) metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Comparative effectiveness evidence assessing overall survival (OS) outcomes are limited, particularly in older pts. Our primary objective was to compare OS in Medicare pts treated with 1L PAL + AI versus AI alone in the current SEER dataset. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of HR+/HER2–mBC pts using the SEER-Medicare database. Medicare-enrolled pts aged ≥65 years diagnosed with de novo HR+/HER2– mBC between February 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019 were included. Pts were followed from the start of 1L therapy line until death, Medicare disenrollment, enrollment in a health maintenance organization plan, or the end of available study follow-up (December 31, 2020), whichever came first. Stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (sIPTW) was the primary method used to balance patient characteristics at baseline, with propensity score matching (PSM) and multivariable CPH regression as sensitivity analyses. Median OS and the hazard ratio (HR) were estimated using the weighted Kaplan-Meier (KM) method and the weighted Cox proportional hazard (CPH) regression model, respectively. Results: Of 779 included pts, 296 received PAL+AI and 483 received AI alone. Median follow-up was 23.9 months for the PAL+AI arm and 18.2 months for the AI alone arm. After sIPTW adjustment, median OS was 37.6 months (95% CI=34.8-42.0) for PAL+AI vs 25.5 months (95% CI=22.0-28.9) for AI alone (HR=0.73, 95% CI=0.59-0.91). Results from the PSM and CPH regression analyses were consistent with the primary analysis. Key patient characteristics are presented (Table). Conclusions: This comparative effectiveness study showed that PAL+AI was associated with significantly prolonged OS vs AI alone in the 1L treatment of older pts with de novo HR+/HER2- mBC treated in US clinical practice using the SEER-Medicare database. Our results add to the body of evidence on the survival benefit of PAL+AI in this population. [Table: see text]

THE ROLE OF THE ARTS IN THE FORMATION OF LANDSCAPE PLANNING ORGANIZATION OF ARCHITECTURAL SPACE RURAL SETTLEMENTS OF UKRAINE

A historical and cultural descriptive overview of the artistic experience and landscape planning organization of organizing the architectural space of rural settlements of Ukraine with an emphasis on the current stage of development is presented. It is emphasized that the academic discourse is dominated by studies devoted to the study of this issue for urban space. While rural settlements in the corpus of auk studies are presented much more modestly, which once again actualizes the chosen topic. After all, the rural settlements of Ukraine, despite the urbanization processes, remain an important component of the architectural space of Ukraine, and also manifest long-standing artistic folk traditions that give rural landscapes a unique and unique architectural face and create a harmonious combination of the natural environment and anthropogenic influence. The importance of preserving the traditions of the landscape and planning organization of the architectural space of the village, taking into account the long-standing traditions of construction and the artistic expression of aesthetic preferences and worldview beliefs formed in Ukrainian culture, is emphasized. Historical and cultural heritage, its preservation and popularization, is one of the strategic tasks of the state and an example of Ukraine's European integration aspirations. Careful nurturing of one's own traditions, including artistic, landscape planning, and architectural ones, is a demonstration of the maturity of society and awareness of the importance of cultural identity. The village itself, despite the Soviet policy of standardization and unification, was able to preserve unique artistic traditions that complement the socio-humanitarian space and emphasize the regional and local features of one or another settlement. Research attention is focused on such examples as wells, which are an important part of rural communication and village landmarks. The importance of plastic arts in the architectural space of the village is also emphasized. With the help of sculpture, historical memory, commemoration is formed, and society gathers around significant and symbolic events, symbols and meanings for the community. In the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the problem of destroyed villages became particularly acute, because it is necessary not only to restore the housing stock, socially significant objects, establish communications and restore the infrastructure, but also to preserve the history of the village, its socio-cultural accents. That is, the role of art in these processes is extremely important. Artistic means can embody both the historical and cultural aspects of the development of the village, as well as immortalize the modern tragedy of the war.

Research on the coupling test and organizational collaboration relationship between emergency plans and emergency responses—Based on the social network analysis method

Emergency plan is the action guide of emergency response, and the high coupling level and smooth organizational collaboration between emergency plan and emergency response are the necessary conditions for successful response to emergencies. Based on the case of “4–18″ fire accident in Beijing Changfeng Hospital, use social network analysis to quantify and visualize the coupling level and organizational collaboration relationship between emergency plan and emergency response from the overall network and individual central network. The results of the study found that in the overall network, the emergency plan and emergency response organization collaborative relationship network, has a high level of coupling and organizational collaboration. In the individual central network, the network of emergency plan and emergency response organization collaborative relationship has a low level of coupling and organizational collaboration. The results of this study reveal a noteworthy finding that the function of media organizations is unusually prominent in the network of emergency response organization collaboration, while it is not found in the network of emergency plan organization collaboration. As global risks continue to evolve, the results of the study provide valuable insights for other countries and regions seeking to establish emergency plan networks and emergency response networks with high levels of coupling and organizational collaboration, which are essential for enhancing global disaster prevention, mitigation, and response capabilities.
