Vegetation Pattern and Regeneration Dynamics of the Progressively Declining Monotheca buxifolia Forests in Pakistan: Implications for Conservation
Authors: Ali Fayaz , Khan Nasrullah , Ali Kishwar , Khan Muhammad Ezaz Hasan , Jones David Aaron
Published: May 2022

Monotheca buxifolia (Falc.) A. DC., a wild edible fruit-yielding tree species, has economic and ecological importance, yet there is a lack of studies concerning its distribution pattern and regeneration dynamics at a larger-scale. This study aims to produce the first country-level classification of Monotheca forests based on their unique floristic composition and influential abiotic factors, besides their natural regeneration dynamics, across the environmentally diverse landscapes in Pakistan. For this purpose, floristic inventory was carried out in 440 plots where environmental variables, stand dendrometric characteristics and woody-species regeneration were recorded. During this survey, 3789 individuals of 27 woody tree species belonging to 25 genera and 22 families were sampled. These native and exotic tree species were mostly dicot (73%) with predominately mega-phanerophytic (88%) lifeforms, which largely reflect strong chorological differentiation and distinct linkage (55%) to the Sino-Japanese phytogeographical region. M. buxifolia and co-occurring species exhibiting similar environmental affinities were grouped into four ecologically distinct communities by Ward’s cluster analysis. Ordinations further highlight the special effects of topographic and edaphic factors besides anthropogenic interference on the sampled plots. Generally, Monotheca stands were moderately dense, with the average density varying considerably, ranging from 296 to 325 individuals/ha, with basal area ranging from 41.26 to 93.35 m2 ha−1. In the understory stratum, natural regeneration of Monotheca was mostly scant and mainly covered by Dodonaea shrubs. Size class structure of the dominant species shows pronounced effect of anthropogenic intervention as reflected by the presence of fewer individuals of juveniles and larger trees. Overall, the cut stump frequency was higher at juvenile and mature stages, which may be attributed to over-harvesting and extraction of fuelwood apart from the adverse effect of climate change in the region. We concluded that both topographic and edaphic factors coupled with biotic interventions are more influential in the distribution and persistence of M. buxifolia and co-occurring woody species and might be considered in its restoration and conservation. Thus, we recommend an urgent management plan to favor Monotheca regeneration for allowing the renewal of these rapidly declining remnant stands in Pakistan.

Published: May 2022

The increasing population size and housing density are responsible for greater consumption of water resources, causing drinking water shortages in many regions. To reduce water consumption, it is essential to perform wastewater treatment, particularly in onsite non-potable water systems (ONWS). This article discusses the performance of a wastewater treatment system in a shopping mall in Brazil (City of Guarulhos, São Paulo State, Brazil), using data collected over 3 years (2015–2018) that resulted in water reuse ranging from 12 to 42 m³ per day. The strategy used for this wastewater treatment and further reuse in cooling towers and toilets initially included nine steps; after adjustments, an additional step (tertiary decanter) was added. All steps were named as follows: (1) railing; (2) fats boxes; (3) aerobic reactors with selector tank; (4) denitrification; (5) flocculation; (6) secondary decanter; (7) ultrafiltration; (8) disinfection; (9) filtration by zeolites; and (10) tertiary decanter. Based on using FeCl3 as a flocculant followed by filtration by zeolites (SFM) for ion adsorption and removing above 99% of the biological oxygen demand (BOD5), generating a final BOD5 of <2.0 mg/L, total dissolved solids of 130 to 594 mg/L, pH ranging from 6.75 to 7.79, and remaining pathogen-free. This treatment demonstrated the feasibility of reusing water in air conditioning cooling towers and toilets, generating up to 797 m³/month of treated water for reuse with savings of up to 27% in drinking water consumption at the mall.

The EU Danube Strategy aims to ensure the infrastructural, ecological, socio-economic and institutional development of the region. At the same time, the regions of Ukraine participating in the Strategy, still do not have a formalized strategic vision of their participation in the EU Strategy for the Danube region with clearly defined goals and priorities, as well as tools to achieve them. An unresolved problem is the organization of cooperation at the level of business structures, public organizations, institutions of science, education, medicine, sports, etc. The issues of resource provision and their rational use, conservation of the environment and biodiversity of the region require further research. Analysis of the main directions of the EU Danube Strategy and analysis of the natural resource potential, the state of the educational level and professional training of the population in the participating regions, gave the basis for defining the main types of joint activities aimed at developing culture and tourism, expanding contacts between people, preserving biodiversity, reserves, water quality, air and land, as well as for the creation of a single transport complex and for improving the education system, etc. Based on a comparison of individual indicators of socio-economic development, the disproportions of regional development are established and ways to overcome them are determined, in particular, competitive advantages enhancing the significance of the regions of Ukraine in Strategy implementation are identified. Determination of the competitive advantages of the participating regions’ development in the Danube Strategy is of utter importance in the formation of socio-economic development programs and working out the measures for the implementation of the Strategy.
INTERNATIONAL TAXATION SYSTEM TRANSFORMATION: ITS EFFECT ON TRANSFER PRICING (TP)
Authors:   Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics, Muzychuk Mariana
Published: May 2022

In the context of globalization of the world economy and the growth of its digital segment, there is a need to revise the basic principles applied in the international tax system. Inequality of tax approaches in different countries creates tax competition between them and allows multinationals to shift their profits to jurisdictions with low tax rates. The supply of digital services under the current rules has not been taxed in the countries of their consumption and attempts to regulate their taxation by individual countries lead to trade wars. The OECD / G20 initiative envisages the introduction of unified approaches to the taxation of digital services and the global minimum tax rate, which determines the relevance of this study. The aim of the article is to study the problems of the modern international tax system and the OECD / G20 initiative, updating taxation principles for globally operating companies. In the process of research, the author used the following general scientific theoretical methods: systems analysis in order to clarify the main categories of research, grouping and detailing, induction and deduction, and analogy. Also, an abstract and logical method was used for implementing theoretical generalizations and conclusions about the impact of the rules for the two-component solution on the tax system of Ukraine. Analysing, systematizing and summarizing the scientific works of numerous scientists, the article examines the reasons for the need to revise the basic principles of taxation, which do not take into account modern business conditions. The author studied the peculiarities of the rules for the OECD / G20 Two-Pillar Solution, their relationship with the rules of ТP and approaches to their implementation. The practical significance of the research is in the analysis of the impact of implementing the two-component solution on the domestic tax system. Prospects for further research are as follows: -amendments to domestic tax legislation implementing the rules of the OECD/ G20 Two- Pillar Solution; -methodology of preparing multinational reports in accordance with the new rules; -features of application of TP rules for the purposes of the Two-Pillar Solution.
SPECIFIC FACTORS OF EVENT MANAGEMENT FORMATION
Authors:   Chernivtsi Institute of Trade and Economics of KNUTE, Shuprudko Nataliia
Published: May 2022

Today poses new challenges in the development of modern management in the business environment of Ukraine. Event management has confidently become one of such directions, the impetus for the formation of which was event tourism. The need for time was the emergence of professionals in the field of organization and conduct of events - key points of activity - who would take over event management and post-event reflection. Building an inventive management system based on general and specific factors allows businesses in this area to be prepared for threats and develop successfully. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the specific factors influencing the formation of the system of event management in the business environment of Ukraine. In constructing the logic and structure of the article, we used the method of structural- logical analysis. Methods of grouping and systematization, analysis and synthesis are used to generalize approaches to substantiation of key factors influencing the system of event management. A systematic method of research and observation was used to form a list of problems, needs and threats caused by the action of key factors. Studies have shown that in recent decades there has been a distinction in such an area as event tourism, which is based on planned events. Over time, more and more professionals began to organize events, specialized event agencies and some independent professionals were formed. In fact, in the domestic economy formed a separate functional area of management - event management. World practice shows a long history of specialized institutions around the event - more than 60 years. However, to say that event management has the same long history is not necessary. The common problems that arise in planning, implementation, event management, requires the construction of event management to take into account the peculiarities of this activity, in particular the factors that actually form the system of event management in the industry. Key areas of knowledge in event management, such as project management, risk management, logistics and financial management, will need to be integrated into the event management system, taking into account the specific factors we propose to consider: external (objective) and internal (sub-effective) factors. Defining a clear list of specific factors influencing the effectiveness of event management of the enterprise can significantly improve the economic performance of its activities and create conditions for the formation of proactive strategies for its development. Further areas of research could be the expansion and refinement of these factors, the search for and justification of the system for assessing the strength and intensity of their impact on the effectiveness of the system of event management of the enterprise and so on.
Information technologies for forecasting energy distribution by tariff periods of an electrified section
Authors:   Rostov State Transport University, Domansky V.V. , Ilicheva V.V.
Published: May 2022

The purpose of the work is to create methods for forecasting the distribution of electricity of an electrified section by tariff periods, implemented in the form of software applications. A short-term forecasting technique based on a linear regression model is proposed, and the applicability of this well-known method for analyzing the dependence of energy consumption on the main influencing factors is shown. Based on the revealed seasonal nature of the electricity distribution of the electrified section by tariff periods, a forecasting technique using harmonic analysis has been developed. It is shown that in the long term, the proposed calculation methods cause the possibility of linearization of the general trend of changes in the distribution of electricity, which greatly simplifies the modeling process. The advantage of the developed technologies is the possibility of implementing the forecast of energy consumption as a percentage of total electricity consumption. Software complexes have been created for all the proposed forecasting methods.

Published: May 2022

Strong earthquakes (M>5.0) recorded from 2020 to 2021 within the Baikal rift zone were studied. The «background» time intervals of the current period when tangible earthquakes were not observed are highlighted. Seismogravitational fluctuations in temperature and pressure were recorded. It was found that before the studied earthquakes harmonics with a period of 92-96 hours appear in the spectrum of temperature fluctuations at the isobaric level of 300 hPa. Such harmonics are absent in the corresponding background temperature series. The fact of the appearance of new harmonics can be used as a sign of an imminent earthquake in the Baikal region. As a result, a method for estimating atmospheric effects during strong earthquakes is proposed.

The purpose of this paper is to review the existing non-radiation methods and systems for diagnosing postural dis- orders and spinal deformities. Materials and research methods. Search for scientific articles on the database platforms „Web of Science“, „Scopus“, PubMed, Cochrane Library, eLIBRARY, CYBERLENINKA and using the Google Scholar search engine for keywords and phrases: three-dimensional gait analysis, dynamic sagittal balance, spinal kinematics, deformity spine, global sagittal alignment, degenerative lumbar kyphoscoliosis, posture, movement. Results. When analysing information on methods and systems for non-radiological diagnostics of postural disorders and spinal deformities, attention was primarily paid to the possibility of using such information for examination in dynamics; repeatability of results, their accuracy and reliability; correlation of the results of indirect determination of the Cobb angle to its true value, measured from the radiograph. An overview of the diagnostic possibilities and technical features using the methods of: moiré topography, raster stereography, laser scanning, three-coordinate electrogoniometry, portable (wearable) devices, marker video capture of motion. A compara- tive analysis of the methods of non-radiation diagnostics of spinal deformities is presented, considering their advantages and disadvantages. Conclusion. The method of marker video capture of motion is the closest to X-ray in terms of the reliability of the results of the assessment of the musculoskeletal system with the possibility of conducting tests in dynamics to assess the mobility of the spine, in the selection and adjustment of technical means of rehabilitation. But video analysis is characterized by the complexity of the survey, data processing and analysis. For long-term monitoring, portable devices are more suitable, but in terms of the reliability of diagnostic results, they are inferior to systems based on the motion capture method.

Published: May 2022

В статье рассмотрена роль деловой игры в обучении профессионально-ориентированному общению на иностранном языке. Данный вопрос обусловлен необходимостью не только в профессионально-ориентированном обучении иностранному языку, но и в формировании и развитии межкультурной компетенции у студентов с целью обеспечения их конкурентоспособности на современном рынке труда. Процессы глобализации межкультурной и поликультурной коммуникации вытесняют монокультурное общение. В ходе межкультурного общения каждая из сторон представляется полноправным представителем своей культуры, на каком бы языке не велась коммуникация. Распространены ситуации, когда оба коммуниканта используют иностранный для них язык в качестве средства общения. Межкультурный подход отличается соблюдением равенства культур в процессе обучения иностранному языку, т. е. соблюдением принципа «культурной эгалитарности». Показана роль деловой игры как эффективной формы обучения в формировании иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции.

The article examines the role of the business game in teaching professionally-oriented communication in a foreign language. This issue is caused by the need not only for professionally oriented foreign language teaching, but also in the formation and development of intercultural competence among students in order to ensure their competitiveness in the modern labor market. The processes of globalization of intercultural and multicultural communication displace monocultural communication. In the course of intercultural communication, each of the parties is represented as a full representative of their culture, in whatever language communication is conducted. Situations are common when both communicants use a foreign language for them as a means of communication. The intercultural approach is distinguished by the observance of the equality of cultures in the process of teaching a foreign language, i. e. compliance with the principle of “cultural egalitarianism”. The role of the business game as an effective form of learning in the formation of foreign language communicative competence is shown.

Published: May 2022

Прорывные инновации играют важнейшую роль в преобразовании отраслей и формировании новых рынков. Однако процесс их создания значительно отличается от поддерживающей инновационной деятельности. Целью статьи является формулирование основных компонентов инновационной системы крупных предприятий, направленной на систематическую реализацию прорывных инноваций. В статье выделены различия и особенности создания прорывных инноваций малыми и крупными предприятиями, в отличие от организации инновационного процесса в крупных кампаниях. Установлено, что малые предприятия играют основную роль в разработке прорывных инноваций, причем их активность в этой области со временем увеличивается. Авторами сделаны выводы о том, что сетевой принцип взаимодействия, при котором каждая из структурных единиц является носителем определенных ключевых компетенций, оптимален для реализации прорывных проектов на современном этапе инновационного развития. Авторами предложены конкретизированные меры по адаптации данного принципа к деятельности корпоративных венчурных фондов. Указано, что именно эти меры служат базисом для построения корпоративной инновационной системы, направленной на прорывную инновационную деятельность.

Breakthrough innovations play a critical role in transforming industries and shaping new markets. However, the process of their creation is significantly different from the supporting innovation activities. The purpose of the article is to formulate the main components of the innovation system of large enterprises, aimed at the systematic implementation of breakthrough innovations. The article highlights the differences and features of the creation of breakthrough innovations by small and large enterprises in contrast to the traditional innovation process. It is established that small enterprises play a major role in the development of breakthrough innovations, and their activity in this area increases over time. The authors draw conclusions that the network principle of interaction, in which each of the structural units is a bearer of certain key competencies, is optimal for the implementation of breakthrough projects at the present stage of innovative development. The authors propose specific measures to adapt this principle to the activities of corporate venture capital funds. It is indicated that these measures serve as the basis for building a corporate innovation system aimed at breakthrough innovation activities.
MODERN CULTURAL AND CIVILIZATIONAL PROCESSES: THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Акаев В. Х. , Исмаилова Л. М.
Published: May 2022

Понятия «культура» и «цивилизация» в социальной философии находят разные интерпретации, но всегда они соотносятся с общей тенденцией социального, культурного развития общества. Архаичным смыслом понятия «культура», которое придано римлянами, является возделывание, обработка земли, когда слово «цивилизация» с французского языка переводится как воспитанный, гражданский, государственный, достойное поведение гражданина, достигшего высокого уровня социокультурного развития. Культурно-цивилизационные процессы как сочетание духовного, культурного развития общества и его аграрного, индустриального и информационно-технологического развития определяют бытие человека и человечества в целом. Цивилизация как социально-технологическое явление содержит в себе разные смыслы, она понимается как стадия (ступень, эпоха) развития человечества, приходящая на смену первобытному обществу, которое трансформировалось до его нынешнего состояния. Будучи социокультурным образованием, цивилизация - это полиэтничная целостность, длительное время формирующаяся на этапе социального развития, следуя за первобытнообщинным строем и преодолевая его. Культура и цивилизация в своей совокупности - это стадия развития социокультурной системы, когда творческие силы людей, социальных групп, народов расходуются, и вместо живого и непосредственного их проявления видны механические, часто отчужденные от внутреннего смысла социального бытия формы жизни и поведения людей.

The concepts of “culture” and “civilization” in social philosophy find different interpretations, but they always correlate with the general trend of the social and cultural development of society. The archaic meaning of the concept of “culture”, which was given by the Romans, is cultivation, cultivation of the land, when the word “civilization” is translated from French as a well-mannered, civil, state, worthy behavior of a citizen who has reached a high level of socio-cultural development. Cultural and civilizational processes as a combination of the spiritual, cultural development of society and its agrarian, industrial and information technology development determine the existence of man and mankind as a whole. Civilization as a socio-technological phenomenon contains different meanings, it is understood as a stage (stage, era) of human development, replacing the primitive society, which has been transformed to its current state. Being a socio-cultural formation, civilization is a multi-ethnic integrity, for a long time, formed at the stage of social development, following the primitive communal system and overcoming it. Culture and civilization in their totality is a stage in the development of a socio-cultural system, when the creative forces of people, social groups, peoples are spent and instead of their living and direct manifestation, mechanical forms of life and behavior of people are often alienated from the inner meaning of social existence.

Transmission Grating Producing Both Transmission Diffraction Pattern and Reflective Diffraction Pattern Simultaneously
Authors: peng hui
Published: May 2022

The common gratings contain transmission gratings and reflective gratings. The orientation-dependence of the diffraction patterns of the transmission grating experiments have been systematically studied by rotating the grating around three axes. In this article, we show the novel phenomena that the transmission grating plays dual-roles of a transmission grating and a reflective grating.Indeed, the transmission grating produces simultaneously the transmission diffraction patterns and the reflective diffraction patterns respectively. This rather ancient grating experiment continues to surprise.
How to train your posture: Augmented haptic feedback can be used for postural adaptation of the trunk during upper-limb motor training
Authors: Agarwal Rakhi , Hussain Asif , Campolo Domenico , SKM Varadhan
Published: May 2022

Poor trunk posture, especially during long periods of sitting, could lead to many issues such as Low Back Pain (LBP) and Forward Head Posture (FHP). Typical solutions are based on visual or vibration-based feedback. However, these feedback systems could lead to feedback being ignored by user and phantom vibration syndrome, respectively. Moreover, trunk posture needs to be corrected during rehabilitation of stroke patients to reduce trunk compensation. Proposed solutions in the literature to reduce trunk compensation primarily include strapping patients to the chair, which has several disadvantages. In this study, we propose using augmented haptic feedback for postural adaptation. In this two-part study, twenty-four healthy participants (age 25.87 ± 2.17 years) adapted to three different postural targets in the anterior direction while performing a unimanual reaching task using a robotic device. Results suggest a strong adaptation to the desired postural targets. Mean anterior trunk bending after intervention is significantly different as compared to baseline measurements for all postural targets. Additional analysis of movement straightness and smoothness indicates an absence of any negative interference of posture-based feedback on the performance of reaching movement. Taken together, these results suggest that augmented haptic feedback-based system could be used for postural adaptation applications.

During the last decades, the Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved significantly and the advances in sensors, networking and processing technologies have enabled the adoption of IoTbased concepts and solutions across different fields. Temperature and humidity monitoring is an application that is found in sectors like the food industry, environmental monitoring, agriculture, manufacturing, among others. In the industry, product painting is not only for the visual aesthetic of products but it is intended for protecting the items against corrosion, damage and for extending their lifetime. In order to get the best painting results, variables like temperature, relative humidity and dew point must be controlled in the environment. In this project, an IoT-based system for monitoring those variables is developed and evaluated, from the sensor level up to the end-user application level. By using Bosch CISS sensors, a Raspberry Pi SBC and the ThingsBoard platform, we developed and tested this solution. After presenting the requirements of the system and the architectural design, we detail on the implementation stage of each component of the solution, and share the results of the testing and evaluation. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the system and the future work envisaged for this project

Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease is a common chronic inflammation of the natal cleft and is mainly seen in young adults. Authors of some earlier works regarded the condition as congenital. Recently, it has become widely accepted that the condition is acquired, and thought to originate from hair follicles. Many treatment options has described in literature, thus in this study we present our results with Limberg flap reconstruction on pilonidal sinus disease. 38 patients underwent limberg flap reconstruction for pilonidal sinus disease enrolled in this study. No bleeding has occur intra and postoperatively, 2 patients developed urinary retention (%5.2), on 1 patient with diabetes mellitus wound dehiscence has developed which has treated with 3 week long simple debridement method (%2.6). 1 patient developed superficial infection treated with basic antibiotics (%2.6). No other complications has developed. No recurrence has seen in -mean -11.2 month period. We think limberg flap closure on pilonidal sinus disease is an effective and safe option.

Hemorrhoidal disease is a common anorectal disorder characterized by the symptomatic enlargement and distal displacement of the hemorrhoids, which are the normal anal cushions. The main symptoms of hemorrhoidal disease include rectal bleeding, prolapse, pain, thrombosis, mucus discharge, and pruritus. Hemorrhoids are classified based on their location and the degree of prolapse. Clinical management of hemorrhoidal disease is based on severity. While conservative strategies are used for Patients with grades I or II disease, radical surgery is recommended for patients with grades III or IV hemorrhoids. Hereby we present our results of thrombectomy on acute treatment in patients with acute thrombosed hemorrhoids. 54 consecutive cases included this study. The mean age of the Patients was 38.5(+/-4.1), 22 patients were male, 32 patients were female. All patients underwent thrombectomy procedure and 8th hour 12th hour, 24th hour and 3rd day VAS scores were (4.1; 3.4; 5.8; 2.1) consecutively. 1 patient had developed intraoperative bleeding which controlled with monopolar electrocautery application, no postoperative bleeding has seen. 1 patient developed slight infection which controlled with simple antibiotics. No other complication has seen after procedure. Our study’s the results were similar with literature and as conclusion we believe thrombectomy is a very safe and effective method of management of acute hemorrhoidal crisis in patients with thrombosed hemorrhoids.
Benefits of Using of IEC Materials by ASHA During Home Visits to Disseminate Newborn Care Messages in Uttar Pradesh, India
Authors: Tripathy Tridibesh , Das Shankar
Published: May 2022

Background: The article is about ASHAs appreciating the use of Information Education & Communication materials related to newborn care. Further, the focus is on the ways in which the ASHAs find these materials beneficial while using the materials for dissemination of newborn care messages. Objective: The objective of the current study is to explore the crucial variables of the benefits of the use of IEC materials as per the ASHAs especially on services related to newborn care. Methods: Four districts of Uttar Pradesh were selected purposively for the study and the data collection was conducted in the respective districts with the help of a pre-tested structured interview schedule with both close-ended and open-ended questions. In-depth interviews were conducted amongst the ASHAs and a total 250 respondents had participated in the study. Results: Monthly meeting platforms at the government facilities helped the ASHAs to be skillful to use the IEC materials. About 75% of ASHAs thought that the materials helped in giving the complete message. Very few ASHAs used the materials to reply to any health-related query during home visits. Less than 25% of ASHAs thought that the materials added to the credibility of the message and helped them to explain to illiterate households. Conclusion: IEC materials help them to recollect contents & give the complete message on newborn care. They could answer queries of community, felt that the materials added credibility to the message & they could address illiterate masses.
A Review on Mandibular Buccal Shelf Miniscrew

Published: May 2022

Buccal shelf area of mandible is a recent addition to temporary anchorage device proposed by John Jin-Jong Lin and Chris Chang, in 2010.Anatomically Buccal shelf is located bilaterally in the posterior part of the mandibular body, buccal to the roots of the first and second molars and anterior to the oblique line of the mandibular ramus and is a very safe site for extra radicular temporary anchorage devices because of increased cortical bone thickness and density. There is a positive association between primary stability of implant and cortical bone thickness. CBCT helps to quantify the skeletal anatomy of the buccal shelf, placement angle of the TADs, and amount of cortical bone engagement at the TAD interface.
Technology Convergence and Federalism: Who Should Decide the Future of Telecommunications Regulation?
Authors: Lyons Daniel
Published: May 2022

This Article critically examines the division of regulatory jurisdiction over telecommunications issues between the federal government and the states. Currently, the line between federal and state jurisdiction varies depending on the service at issue. This compartmentalization might have made sense fifteen years ago, but the advent of technology convergence has largely rendered this model obsolete. Yesterday's telephone and cable companies now compete head-to-head to offer consumers the vaunted "triple play" of voice, video, and internet services. But these telecommunications companies are finding it increasingly difficult to fit new operations into arcane, rigid regulatory compartments. Moreover, services that consumers view as near-perfect substitutes-such as cable and satellite television-face different regulatory treatment largely due to historical accident. This Article proposes that Congress instead allocate jurisdiction in a platform-neutral manner based upon the relative strengths of federal and state regulators. The federal government is best positioned to regulate economic issues that, if left to the states, would generate substantial spillover effects and disrupt economies of scale. By comparison, state regulators are best qualified to make decisions that turn upon local knowledge. The Article recommends a hybrid model for consumer protection, whereby states bring local issues to the FCC's attention, and the FCC adjudicates these issues from an appropriately national scope.
Above All Else Stop Digging: Local Government Law as a (Partial) Cause of (and Solution to) the Current Housing Crisis
Authors: Shanske Darien
Published: May 2022

So many things have gone wrong with our housing market that it is hard to know where to start. One simple diagnosis is that we invested too much in houses that were not worth as much as we thought. Looked at in this way, it is relatively easy to see how innovations like interest-only loans contributed to an over-valuation of housing. Certain actions of the federal government were and are also clearly problematic, such as the longstanding tax breaks for home ownership.

This Article looks at state and local government law, and particularly at financing mechanisms created by state law and used by local governments to subsidize new development. In essence, local governments issued bonds to build key infrastructure for new developments, and interest on those bonds were exempt from state and federal income taxes. This Article maintains that these mechanisms served as yet another subsidy to the very same kinds of value-destroying housing developments that were already being over-encouraged in other ways. Just as the current crisis has rightly led policymakers to reconsider government actions at the federal level, this crisis should also lead to a similar reevaluation of state and local government law, particularly as it intersects with the federal tax exemption for state and local bonds.

However, to do this properly, we must first reconsider the central normative justification for the current local government landscape. This justification is economic and consists of the argument that competition among a multitude of local government entities is efficient. This vision of jurisdictional competition is generally known as the Tiebout model.

This Article makes a series of specific contributions to this rethinking. First, despite arguments by proponents of the Tiebout model to the contrary, it is demonstrated that a full-blown Tiebout model does not release governments at various levels, nor citizens, from making political choices about a just (versus merely efficient) distribution of resources. This is primarily because the legal background rules that set the terms of the competition also select for different equally efficient sets of jurisdictions. From this result it follows that these legal background rules ought to be interrogated as making political choices. A particular type of rule is described in this Article as a "bundling rule. "A bundling rule operates, for instance, by making a certain method of financing schools readily available only to new subdivisions, thus bundling new schools with new development. By opting to make such a method available, state governments are in effect choosing to encourage certain patterns of development. Once this is realized, then there should be no barrier standing in the way of scrapping bundling rules that encourage sprawl.
