Impact of managerial overconfidence on abnormal audit fee: From the perspective of balance mechanism of shareholders.

Overconfidence, as a psychological feature that is difficult to measure, means that managers are overconfident in their management ability, investment judgment ability and knowledge richness, thus overestimating their ability and making irrational behavior. Based on the sample of Chinese listed firms from 2014 to 2018, we measure managerial overconfidence in terms of age, gender, education, position and salary, and analyzed the relationship between overconfidence, abnormal audit fees, and the balance mechanism of shareholders. The research results show that there is a significant positive correlation between managerial overconfidence and abnormal audit fees, and the balance mechanism of shareholders can significantly inhibit the positive correlation between managerial overconfidence and abnormal audit fees. The research results of this paper are conducive to the supervision department to further improve the relevant supervision measures, improve the audit quality, and provide theoretical support for the more specific requirements of audit fee information disclosure.

A Framework on Quality Risk Early Warning for Hydraulic Engineering Construction Based on LSTM

With the reform of “strengthening management and service”, the focus of water conservancy project administration has gradually changed from the former mode of “attaching importance to examination and approval and ignoring supervision” to the mode of “attaching importance to service and strengthening supervision”. However, government supervision relies only on human resources, so it is inevitable that there will be overlapping supervision, loopholes, low efficiency and high cost. In this paper, the LSTM model in deep learning is used to predict the risks of water conservancy projects according to the text information such as quality supervision and inspection reports, and the risk early warning system of water conservancy projects is designed to provide auxiliary decision support for the quality supervision of water conservancy projects, which is of great significance to the formulation of quality supervision measures, allocation of supervision and management resources and the quality guidance of water conservancy projects.

Analysis of conformity with quality and safety requirements of fruits and vegetables sold on the Russian market

The effectiveness of agribusiness is determined by many factors, including the degree of confidence of supervisory authorities and consumers in the manufacturer and its products. A high degree of trust and a positive image is formed by the history of inspections of agricultural producers and the absence of consumer complaints about the quality or safety of goods. An analysis of the results of the compliance of fruits and vegetables marketed in the Russian Federation with quality and safety requirements allows business entities and supervisory authorities to assess priority risks, to formulate action plans to minimize or eliminate them. During the study, an analysis of the results of the control and supervision measures of the sanitary service in relation to fruits and vegetables for the period 2014-2019 was performed. It has been established that most of the products are of high quality and safe. The proportion of non-standard samples ranges from 0.3%-2.7%. The main violations of the mandatory requirements for quality and safety of fruits and vegetables are recorded in relation to the content of microbiological agents, chemicals, physical and chemical indicators. The largest share of non-standard samples on the content of chemicals in the product falls on nitrates, mycotoxins, cadmium. The priority risk factors for mismatch in gourds are physicochemical parameters and nitrate content; in table greens - microbiological indicators and the content of nitrates and cadmium, in fruits and berries - the content of radionuclides (mainly Cesium-137), etc. The results can be used by representatives of agribusiness to plan activities to prevent non-compliance, improve the quality and safety of agricultural products, and supervisory authorities to organize a risk-oriented model of goods control.

EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL TECHNICIANS OF THE RESCUE BOARD CONFUSED WITH THE RIGHT TO APPLY DIRECT COERCION AND TO USE MEASURES

Background: According to the current Estonian Law Enforcement Act (hereinafter LEA), only competent law enforcement institutions may apply measures of state supervision. Law enforcement institution’s supervision duties are stated in different special acts of law. According to LEA, physical force, special means or a weapon can be used (there-fore direct coercion may be applied) by the police as a general law enforcement institution. The special means that are allowed are handcuffs, shackles, binding means, service animal, technical barrier, means to force a vehicle to stop, water cannon etc. Police service weapons are a firearm, a gas, a pneumatic, a cut-and-thrust and an electric shock weapon. Other law enforcement institutions may apply direct coercion only if allowed in special laws. According to the Rescue Act (hereinafter RA), Rescue Board’s explosive ordnance disposal (hereinafter EOD) technicians may apply direct coercion. However, from amongst the means of direct coercion, EOD technicians may only use handcuffs. Using a firearm is allowed only when performing self-defence. Aim: The aim of the study is to analyse the exhaustive regulation of EOD technician’s tasks and allowed means of direct coercion in the RA. In addition to that, the training programme is looked into to determine whether it is suffi-cient for achieving the desired knowledge and skills. Method: Legal provisions are studied to determine the content of the EOD technicians’ supervisory tasks, al-lowed special measures and the means of direct coercion (comparative analysis of legal provisions). To find out the real needs to apply measures and means of direct coercion, EOD commanders of the Western region were interviewed (questionnaire). Thirdly, EOD technicians’ curricula are analysed to give an overview of the sufficiency of their training (document review). Results: The analysis reveals that all EOD technicians’ supervisory tasks have not been legally regulated. The number of state supervision measures and means of direct coercion is not sufficient to fulfil the tasks stated by the legislator. The curricula do not provide sufficient training for the application of the means of direct coercion.Conclusions: EOD technicians’ supervisory tasks need to be specified in the RA; at the moment, most of them have been regulated only in the statute. The RA must be added the right to conduct security check and examine persons and the list of allowed means of direct coercion must be more versatile (e.g. to add the right to use a gas weapon, hand-cuffs and means to force a vehicle to stop). If EOD technicians are entitled to more rights, curricula must be amended by adding the training for applying the means of direct coercion, incl. the time needed for the practice of the application of physical force must be increased.

About the question of the assessment of the drinking water quality in centralized water systems in the current conditions

Introduction. Regulation of drinking water quality is a very important area of health care and improving the quality of life of the population of the Russian Federation.The aim of this work is the development a model for the assessment of the drinking water quality and calculating the share of the population, including urban, provided with high-quality drinking water from centralized water supply systems, taking into account new methodological approaches to the evaluation of the quality of drinking water using the example of water supply to settlements in the Leningrad Region. Material and methods. The data on the organization of centralized cold water supply systems and monitoring systems for drinking water quality and the results of laboratory studies of drinking water quality in the cities of Volkhov, Svetogorsk, Slantsy, Tosno were studied. Statistical processing of the results was performed, the categories of quality of drinking water supplied to the population were determined, the number of the population provided with high-quality drinking water from the water supply system was calculated in accordance with Guidelines 2.1.4.0143-19.Results. In 2018, 100% of the population was provided with quality drinking water only in the city of Slantsy. In the city of Tosno, this index reached of 83.5%. In the cities of Volkhov and Svetogorsk, drinking water was rated as low-quality. But it is worth noting that in the cities of Volkhov and Slantsy laboratory tests were carried out at 2 points, in the city of Svetogorsk - only at the 1 point, which, given the number of residents, is not enough. For an objective assessment of the state of drinking water and the development of measures aimed at improving its quality, it is necessary to increase the number of monitoring points, as well as to include the results of control and supervision measures and production laboratory control conducted by water supply organizations in the volume of laboratory information.Conclusion. The proposed model allows us to assess the drinking water quality in centralized water supply systems and the proportion of the population, including urban, provided with quality drinking water at the level of the water supply system, settlement, municipal district (urban district), subject of the Russian Federation

Stwierdzenie nieważności uchwały lub zarządzenia organu jednostki samorządu terytorialnego jako jeden ze środków nadzoru nad samorządem terytorialnym

In this article, basing on normative regulations, judicial decisions of administrative courts and of Constitutional Tribunal and literature of the subject, the analysis of one of the means of supervision over local government was made, which is the Voivode having possibility to state the invalidity of a resolution or order of local government body. Although the legislator equipped the local government with a significant degree of autonomy and independence - legal, judicial, financial, organizational - it did subject the lawfulness of legal acts established by local government bodies to control by government administration bodies and provided for the possibility of declaring them null and void. The article analyses the provisions concerning the circumstances and procedures for the application of such a supervision measure and its implementation as well as the issue of appealing the analysed supervision measure to the administrative court.

International and foreign experience of control over the activity of courts (judges)

This article, based on the analysis of scientific views of scholars, summarizes the foreign experience of control over the activity of courts (judges). After summarizing the experience of Germany, it is stated that the legal mechanism of control over judges in this country is characterized not only by the differentiation of the distribution of supervisory powers at the federal and regional levels, but also by the active involvement of executive and legislative bodies. It is established that the existing foreign experience of control and supervision over thework of judges is quite diverse and can be used by domestic legislators when introducing amendments and additions to current legislation. The most positive experience that can be used in Ukraine to improve the control over the activity of judges includes: 1) The need to improve the procedure for selecting judges; 2) extension of the statute of limitations for committing an offense as a ground for disciplinary liability, in order to reduce the risk of judges avoiding its occurrence; 3) introduction of new forms and methods of control in the relevant field; 4) improvement of organizational and legal bases of public involvement in the implementation of control and supervision measures in the area under study.

Screening for twenty-eight target anabolic-androgenic steroids in protein supplements using QuEChERS extraction followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

ABSTRACT Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AASs) are very potent muscle builders, and professional sportsmen often take protein supplements to improve their performance. Several studies have emphasised that protein supplements may contain undeclared AASs banned by the International Olympic Committee/World Anti-Doping Agency. The widespread occurrence and abuse of contaminated protein supplements is extremely dangerous because of their side effects. To minimise the chances of an unattended positive doping test or to avoid serious health problems, adequate screening methods for the detection of a wide range of steroids is essential. To address this requirement, a rapid and effective modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) method was developed and validated to screen and quantify the simultaneous analysis of twenty-eight AASs in protein supplements using LC-MS/MS. The validated method was applied to 198 protein supplements collected from on-line and, off-line markets, and direct purchase from overseas between 2019 and 2020. Of the 198 samples, two samples contained testosterone and stanozolol at concentrations of 0.27 μg/g and 0.023 μg/g, respectively. In addition, 5α-hydroxylaxogenin was detected for the first time in three products purchased in Korea from overseas. The modified QuEChERS method was established and successfully applied to screen and determine AASs as a measure of continuous control and supervision in protein supplements.

Experienced Aggression and Target-Perpetrated Deviance: Is the Relationship Linear or Non-linear?

When workers are treated badly, they often respond by behaving badly. Research has found, for instance, that the extent to which workers experience various forms of workplace aggression is positively related to the extent to which they engage in deviant behavior. We extend this research, which has largely focused on linear effects, by examining the acceleration hypothesis. According to the acceleration hypothesis, experienced aggression’s relationship with target-perpetrated deviance is relatively weak at low levels of experienced aggression; however, the relationship becomes gradually stronger at increasing levels of experienced aggression. We tested the acceleration hypothesis within two studies. Study 1 (N = 726) used a sample of English-speaking workers and assessed experienced aggression with a measure of interpersonal conflict; Study 2 (N = 183) used a sample of Chinese workers and assessed experienced aggression with a measure of abusive supervision. Because of these differences between Studies 1 and 2, we were able to examine the generalizability of the acceleration hypothesis across diverse work settings and across different forms of experienced aggression. We found support for the acceleration hypothesis within both samples. As a result, our findings call into question the assumption that the relationship between experienced workplace aggression and target-perpetrated deviance is purely linear.

Evolutionary Stability Analysis of the Coal Mine Safety Management System Governed by Delay and Impulsive Differential Equations

Control of unsafe behaviors has always been a difficult point in Coal Mine Safety Management (CMSM). To study the regular pattern of behavior propagations in CMSM, a series of evolutionary dynamical system models are established by the delay and impulsive differential equations (DIDEs). The threshold constraints (TCs) and impulse responses in the models can accurately correspond to the actual inspection and supervision measures in safety management. Through the simulation analysis and comparison of the system stability, it can be concluded that some proper settings of the TCs and impulse responses bring satisfactory evolutionary stability. Based on the main results of this study, we put forward some decision-making suggestions on the control points and control strategies of unsafe behaviors in safety management.

Accounting for the Life Cycle Cost of Power Grid Projects by Employing a System Dynamics Technique: A Power Reform Perspective

In the context of China’s electric power reform, issued in May 2019, the “Transmission and Distribution Pricing Supervision Measures” have changed asset accounting in grid enterprises and therefore affected cost accounting in grid projects. This paper proposes a dynamic cost calculation model based on system dynamics and takes a power grid company as an example. On this basis, a sensitivity analysis of power grid engineering was conducted to determine the impacts of key factors of power reform on life cycle cost (LCC). Finally, suggestions for cost accounting and cost management were proposed.

Financial supervision structure, decentralized decision-making and financing constraints

The paper uses firm-level data to explore the impact of financial supervision structure on firms’ financing constraints in 48 developing countries. Financing constraints reflect survey-based information provided by firms. The financial supervision structure reflects the national choice among an integrated, sectoral or twin-peak model of supervision with or without a supervisory role for the central bank. We order the supervisory structure in accordance with its degree of decentralization in decision-making. A key novelty of the analysis is the calculation of separate measures of prudential supervision and conduct of business supervision. These measures emphasize different areas and goals of intervention. The analysis uses firm, sector and country-level information and includes several sensitivity and endogeneity tests. The results show that decentralized structures of prudential supervision are associated with more binding financing constraints of firms in high-income developing countries and less binding ones in market-based financial systems. Their effect on low-income countries and bank-based systems is weak. In contrast, decentralized structures of conduct of business supervision are associated with more binding financing constraints of firms in high-income countries and in both bank-based and market-based financial systems. The impact of supervision structure varies with firm size and sector of activity and it is mitigated by country-level factors that reflect a country's macroeconomic conditions, the role of public governance institutions and the authority and mandate of the central bank.

The State Service of Geology and Subsoil of Ukraine (Geonadra) as a legal subject exercising the right of geological control

The article analyzes the scientific and legislative provisions related to the legal status of the State Service of Geology and Subsoil of Ukraine as a subject of geological control. The external and internal structural peculiarities and normative bases of exercising the control and supervisory functions of the State Geonadra are investigated. The external aspect is the subordination of the organization to the Ministry of the Environment, which determines the priority areas of work of the State Geonadra, approves its work plans and harmonizes the structure of the apparatus. The internal aspect is that it exercises its powers directly both through established territorial bodies (Department of State Geological Control, inter-regional territorial departments and through territorial inspectorates, which are within the sphere of management of the State Geonadra) created within the established order. The normative grounds for exercising control and supervisory functions by the State Geonadra at the present stage are analyzed: the law on state surveillance; government regulations; orders of the State Regulatory Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Environment and the State Geonadra; annual and monthly inspection plans; document forms and reporting forms. The authors propose a classification of subjects of geological control rights, which includes the following types: general, generic and direct (primary and secondary). The classification of scheduled and unscheduled inspections as measures of state supervision (control) was made according to the following criteria: patrimonial subject of control; the object of control over the use of mineral resources; the subject of the initiation and the reason for unscheduled inspections; the object of control over the destination of minerals; the object of control over the type of natural mineral substance. The beginning of the reform of the state supervision (control) system in the field of environmental protection is characterized. Its purpose is to create an effective state system for the prevention of environmental offences and for environmental monitoring, reduce the pressure on the business environment, encourage broad involvement of the public in the supervision (control), formation of a single integrated state body of environmental monitoring and control (D) – State Environmental Protection Service.
