Ukraine has a huge potential for the development of various sectors of the economy, but the efficiency of its use still remains low. This problem is primarily related to management problems at all levels of government: from the President to the state enterprise. Unfortunately, the change in the political preferences of citizens of each regular election of deputies to regional, local authorities, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the President of Ukraine remains unchanged. It does not make sense to draw attention to all 30 years of Ukraine's independence, as this problem is not solved… For clarity, we will demonstrate the year of the rule of President Zelensky VO, who promised to change the situation in the country for the better. His arrival was not an accident. The people were prepared not only by the humorous shows Kvartal-95 on political topics, but also by the TV series “Servant of the People” (3 seasons), where Volodymyr Zelensky was elected President and was an ardent opponent of the current situation. Thus, the preparatory stage was in favor of his team.

Objective: The main aim of this paper is to highlight the principal-agent tensions that are associated with mismanagement, inefficiency and corruption in State-owned entities (SOEs)and Privately-owned entities (POEs). Mismanagement, inefficiency and corruption are some of the key factors that lead to energy crisis in Nigeria and South Africa. Policy reforms in Nigeria and South Africa have been drafted and passed yet, the two states are still experiencing energy crisis. In addition, these issues of mismanagement, inefficiency and corruption affect both SOE’s and POE’s ability to discharge their services. Hence the need to undertake the study.   Theoretical Framework: The paper relies on the principal-agency theory to understand the inefficiency, mismanagement, and corruption of SOEs and POEs in South Africa and Nigeria.   Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper employed a qualitative research method through books, journal articles and institutional reports to examine the principal-agency theory and policy reforms in both SOEs and POEs.   Findings: The paper findings relate to political interference, racialised, othered energy poverty and private interests for self-enrichment in POEs and SOEs are the centre of principal-agent tensions which lead to the inefficiency of these institutions.   Research Implications: The paper provides insights that good governance, anti-corruption, infrastructural development, and sustainable development (policy formulation and implementation) are key to attain sustainable energy supply in SOEs and POEs. Similarly, energy racism, infrastructure degradation, and political intervention needs to be addressed to attain sustainable energy supply.   Originality/Value: The paper deduced that South African and Nigerian SOEs have taken significant measures toward sustainable energy supply. In addition, the vast existing literature has proven that SOEs and POEs do not significantly differ in management and operations. Therefore, privatisation does not necessarily mean that the entity will function efficiently.

Guided by attachment theory and the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation model, we used three-annual-wave, dyadic data from a nationally representative sample of 1136 young-adult newlywed couples to investigate two research aims. First, we conducted a Latent Profile Analysis to identify couple-level attachment styles at Time 1 (i.e., within the first 2 years of marriage) based on the combination of husbands’ and wives’ attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance. Second, after conceptualizing couple-level attachment styles at Time 1 as vulnerability, we then examined whether finance-specific adaptive processes at Time 2 (i.e., 1 year after Time 1) mediated associations from couple-level attachment styles at Time 1 to marital satisfaction at Time 3 (i.e., 1 year after Time 2). Several findings are noteworthy. First, four different types of couple-level attachment styles were found. Second, for mediators, only perceived partner financial mismanagement mediated associations from couple-level attachment styles at Time 1 to marital satisfaction at Time 3. We discuss how the four different couple-level styles highlight the diversity and complexity in how the two partners’ attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance combine together as well as why perceived partner financial mismanagement (i.e., the lack of adaptive processes) mediated associations between couple-level attachment styles and marital satisfaction.

This work presents data on the fish identified in the lentic sector of the Golumbilor Lake and upstream and downstream lotic proximal sectors in two periods. The first is before ruthless management of the liquid and solid lake sediments (in 2022) and one after it (in 2023), presenting in a comparative way the modifications in the ichthyofaunal structure. The most striking change observed in the fish fauna of the downstream lake habitats is the replacement of fish species characteristic of lotic habitats with those typical of lentic habitats, which reflects the significant change in habitat characteristics due to this specific human impact.

Detention facilities in the southern US hold a large percentage of individuals detained in the US and have amassed numerous reports of medical mismanagement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate expert declarations of individuals residing in these facilities to assess the appropriateness of medical care provided. We analyzed 38 medical expert declarations from individuals in detention from 2020 to 2021. A thematic analysis was conducted to explore the management of medical conditions. Major themes include inadequate workup, management and treatment of medical conditions, psychiatric conditions, and medical symptoms. Subthemes identified include incorrect workup, failure to refer to a specialist, incorrect medications and/or treatments, missed or incorrect diagnoses, and exacerbation of chronic conditions. This study supports growing evidence of medical mismanagement and neglect of individuals while in immigration detention. Enhanced oversight and accountability around medical care in these facilities is critical to ensure the quality of medical care delivered meets the standard of care.

The exposure of the basin of Lake Urmia to meteorological droughts under climate change scenarios is investigated in this study. Should the catastrophic disappearance of the lake be explained by climate change, the basin would not be resilient to droughts in the future. This is examined by a climate change modelling involving downscaling: use 11 general circulation models to provide climate variables downscaled to a high spatial resolution of 57 stations deriving a correlation between observed time series at the base period and climatic variables; projection: derive precipitation at near/far future using the equations; and drought studies: derive 1-month standard precipitation index at the base and near/far future periods. The results identify the following: (i) in the base period, the lowest and highest biases are −2.5 and 3.7 mm, respectively; (ii) in the near/far future periods, the zones are less prone to meteorological droughts in the south, where water is plentiful, but prone in its north, where water is relatively scarce; (iii) the areas are likely to get drier or wetter but their ratios are unlikely to change. This resilience underpins the urge to appropriate policymaking, decision-making, and planning systems to ensure that the basin is made incrementally more resilient.
