The econometric approach shows the possibility of assessing institutional, resource and labor market factors affecting this indicator. The results justify the need to develop education quality management through KPIs, forecasting, targeted resource allocation, and improved cooperation with employers. The results of the article have practical significance for strengthening employment monitoring and making strategic decisions

This study examines the determinants of economic growth across five Central Asian transition economies; Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan; over the period 1990–2024, with particular focus on the role of energy consumption. Using a panel dataset of 170 observations drawn from World Bank indicators, the analysis integrates energy consumption, financial development, industrialization, and trade openness into a unified panel data framework. Given a non-standard Hausman test result stemming from high intra-class correlation, the fixed-effects model is adopted as the preferred specification on theoretical grounds, with random-effects estimates reported for comparative transparency. The fixed-effects results reveal that financial development is the strongest and most consistent driver of within-country GDP per capita growth, followed by industrialization measured by manufacturing value-added. Energy consumption exerts a significant positive effect, consistent with the growth hypothesis of the energy-growth nexus, though its modest coefficient suggests diminishing returns within countries over time. Trade openness, by contrast, is negatively associated with GDP per capita, reflecting the adverse consequences of poorly sequenced liberalization in economies with limited institutional capacity and export diversification. These findings contribute original empirical evidence on the energy-growth nexus in the post-Soviet Central Asian context, offering policy-relevant insights for financial sector deepening, industrial upgrading, energy efficiency investment, and strategic trade integration across the region

The global Islamic finance industry, now exceeding USD 4.5 trillion in assets, operates under a distinct audit governance framework that remains underexplored in comparative regulatory scholarship. This study examines the trajectory of audit standardization within Islamic financial institutions (IFIs), focusing on the standards issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) against the backdrop of the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). Drawing on documentary analysis, regulatory review, and a structured comparative methodology, the paper critically evaluates the current AAOIFI Auditing Standards for Islamic Financial Institutions (ASIFIs) alongside the proposed draft Standard on Auditing (SOA) 1 "Fundamentals of Auditing." Key findings reveal significant structural gaps in the AAOIFI framework, including the absence of a conceptual assurance framework analogous to the IAASB's International Framework for Assurance Engagements, outdated standards that have remained unchanged for over two decades, and an overly consolidated draft standard that risks impeding practitioner comprehension. The study proposes a set of actionable recommendations for AAOIFI reform, including the development of a standalone "AAOIFI Concept for Assurance Engagements," the urgent revision of ASIFI 1–3 and ASIFI 5, and the adoption of IAASB structural conventions. The findings carry particular relevance for jurisdictions actively developing Islamic finance regulatory environments, including Russia, Malaysia, Bahrain, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states

The article analyzes the institutional, methodological, and organizational problems arising in the process of preparing consolidated financial statements (hereinafter – CFS) in accordance with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter – IFRS).

This study examines the relationship between students' perceptions of instructional quality and their digital reading performance across seven post-Soviet countries using PISA 2022 data (N = 56,477 students; 2,495 schools). Drawing on Klieme et al.'s instructional quality framework—encompassing instructional approaches, classroom management, and supportive climate—three-level hierarchical linear models (HLM) were estimated. Results indicate that perceived instructional adaptation (β = 0.109), teacher-directed instruction (β = 0.076), digital skills teaching practices (β = 0.230), and stimulation of reading engagement (β = 0.123) were significantly and positively associated with digital reading outcomes. A favorable disciplinary climate (β = 0.031), teacher interest (β = 0.073), and teacher support (β = 0.054) also contributed positively. Conversely, reading skill exercises (β = −0.051) and extended instructional time (β = −0.054) showed small negative associations. School-level variance explained a large share of outcome variability (f² = 44.77%), underscoring the institutional role in shaping digital literacy. The findings extend instructional quality research to transitional education systems and provide actionable implications for pedagogy and education policy in post-Soviet contexts

Fantasy literature relies heavily on linguistic creativity to construct imaginary worlds that appear coherent, immersive, and believable to readers. Among contemporary fantasy authors, J.K. Rowling has achieved remarkable success in creating a detailed magical universe through the effective use of language and stylistic techniques. This study investigates the role of stylistic devices in the construction of fantasy worlds in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The primary objective of the research is to identify the most prominent stylistic devices employed in the novel and to analyze their contribution to world-building, characterization, and the representation of magical reality.

The study adopts a qualitative linguostylistic approach and is based on the descriptive, contextual, and interpretative analysis of selected passages from the novel. Particular attention is given to metaphor, simile, personification, epithets, hyperbole, and symbolism. The findings demonstrate that these stylistic devices perform functions that extend beyond aesthetic ornamentation. They facilitate the creation of a distinctive magical atmosphere, provide vivid descriptions of characters and settings, and enable readers to visualize unfamiliar objects, creatures, and phenomena within the fictional universe.

The analysis reveals that metaphor and symbolism play a central role in expressing abstract magical concepts, while personification and simile contribute significantly to the portrayal of Hogwarts and other elements of the wizarding world. Furthermore, stylistic devices enhance narrative engagement by strengthening emotional responses and supporting the reader’s immersion in the fictional environment. The study argues that Rowling’s success in fantasy world-building is closely connected with her strategic use of stylistic resources, which transform ordinary language into a powerful tool of imaginative representation.

The findings contribute to contemporary stylistic and literary-linguistic research by demonstrating how stylistic devices function as essential mechanisms in fantasy discourse. The results may also be valuable for literary scholars, translators, and students interested in fantasy literature and linguistic approaches to literary texts
