Multiracial Multilinguals: How Language Influences Multiracials’
Interpersonal Relationships
- Abstract: Lovers in interracial couples are more likely to have different heritage languages and first languages than same-race couples, and Multiracials are the offspring of interracial couples. As such, Multiracials’ linguistic socialization likely differs from that of monoracials. Our study examined the influence of ethnoracial socialization on monoracials’ and Multiracials’ linguistic knowledge and the influence of language and ethnoracial identity on individuals’ interpersonal relationships. We hypothesized that monoracials would be more likely to know their heritage language than Multiracials, that linguistic knowledge would differ between interminority Multiracial groups and half-White Multiracial groups, and that linguistic knowledge would be associated with the formation of both friendships and romantic relationships. Our sample included nearly a thousand students from a university in California. We found that monoracial minorities were more likely to be multilingual than both interminority Multiracials and half-White Multiracials. East Asian participants who spoke an East Asian language had a higher proportion of East Asian friends. Among Multiracials, Wasians and Latinasians who spoke an East Asian language primarily dated someone East Asian, Latinasians who spoke a Latin American language primarily dated someone Hispanic, and monolinguals of both groups were the ones most likely to date someone White. These findings suggest that linguistic knowledge plays a significant role in a community's social dynamics, affecting monoracials' and (especially) Multiracials' interpersonal relationships.

Trial-Lawyer Leaders in Court Change Institutions Forcing the Use of Tests
and Equations So That Challenged Ones Become Successfully Healthy Thus
Safeguarding Schools and Workplaces from the High-Risk Homicidal,
Mass-Murdering and Sex-Offending
- Abstract: Annual U.S. violence expense = $3.46 trillion (12.5% GDP). Insurance mass-murder/sex-offending payouts range from $3M-$1.1B. The U.S. Catholic Church has 24/194 (13%) pedophilia-bankrupt dioceses. Using 4-machine learning tests-equations, 7-high-risk predictors are—(1) addiction-alcoholism, (2) antisocial-behavior, (3) deception, (4) depression, (5) paranoia, (6) schizophrenic-thinking, (7) violence-potential—found in 212 studies (320,051 persons); in anticipating violent behavior, 4 tests-equations have 97% impressive predictive accuracy, ASP (Ask Standard Predictor, 2010), BASC (Behavior Assessment System Children, 1992), CAPI (Child Abuse Potential Inventory, 1986), MMPI-2/A (1992). Using tests-equations, over 16-years, insurance-leaders targeted 255,806 high-risk youth with cost-effective, (ROI=$6.42 for every dollar spent) jobs, anger-training, mentors, showing substantially 1,070 less homicides ("Chicago Summer-1 program"). This proves tests-equations with interventions work. Trial lawyer leaders using tests-equations with interventions motivate institutional change by increasing homicide, mass-murder, sex-offending settlements-awards to $10-$100B leading insurance professionals to modify liability contracts mandating continuing professional education in test-equation use, thus lowering premiums, bankruptcies.

The Nuanced Footprints of Covid-19 Predicament on Labour Market
Integration of Migrants in Finland
- Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has left its unprecedented footprints and aftershocks on every aspect of human endeavour, including labour on the move. Against this backdrop, this study aims at providing an extensive comprehension of the footprints of COVID-19 predicament on migrants, refugees and asylum seekers’ (MRAs) lives, work and labour market incorporation experiences in Finland. The study adopted the subtle biographic narrative interviews with MRAs. The findings, though mixed, reveal deepening inequality and insecurity in the labour market of Finland for migrants. Conversely, self-learning, virtual learning, manifestation of hidden talents, development of new hobbies and transferable skills, as well as new healthier lifestyles for MRAs were apparent in the findings. The analysis of the study can serve as both an authentic empirical knowledge to guide migrants’ populations and a reference source for academic purposes; the latter can negotiate the impact of disruptive events and sudden crisis on migrant populations, whose unique circumstances and characteristics require inclusive policies and strategies. The study made original and valuable insights into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrants as a significant group in the labour market architecture, however, vulnerable one in terms of precarious work, implying that pandemics and similar eventualities call for (re)designing considerable support systems and extending them to MRAs.

Navigating Investment Waters: Uncovering the Impact of Financial Factors
on Business Behavior in Small Economies
- Abstract: Using companies listed on the Nasdaq Baltic Stock Exchange (2017–2021), we analyze the influence of financial factors on the investment behavior of businesses in small economies. We run a panel regression to examine which financial factors influence corporate investment and study how business investment is affected by the previous year’s cash flow, leverage ratio, asset turnover, liquidity, and sales volume. Our findings reveal robust evidence that the level of the investment of firms is negatively affected by the leverage ratio and positively affected by the asset turnover ratio. We also find that the cash flow to asset ratio has a negative but statistically insignificant affection investment. This implies that businesses in small economies are not interested in the capital market. Companies should consider taking the leverage ratio into account and incorporating it in their investment decision-making models.

Determinants of the Profitability and Stability of Euro Area Banks During
the Ice Age of Interest Rates
- Abstract: In this paper we analyze the determinants of bank profitability and stability during the period of null or negative policy rates (2012 - 2022) for a large sample of banks established in Euro area countries. The results show that higher capitalization, credit quality and income diversification increase profitability and stability, while other covariates play a role mainly in influencing bank profits, but not bank resilience. Empirical outcomes suggest that the banks specialization has an impact on banks' financial results in periods of null or negative interest rates.
