ASSESSMENT OF MANAGEMENT CONTROLLING IN PANDEMIC TIMES
Authors: Galić Matej , Popek Biškupec Petra , Galić Marko
Published: July 2021

The emergence of coronavirus led to evident consequences for the global economy. During the previous financial crisis, organisations have already determined the elements of crisis management so they could met the new corona crisis readily. Global changes, like the current pandemic situation, provide a different view toward the future expectations. The pandemic has caused new way of functioning under special circumstances such as various restrictions in many European countries, restrictions on people’s mobility and other novelties that have encountered for the first time. Characteristics of this crisis include novelty and pressure in a business environment, which can reveal various vulnerabilities in organisations. Managers were affected by major business changes, and there appeared a need for rapid reorganisation of the current way of functioning. Management had to introduce new control systems that refer to their strategies for exchanging information and decision-making. In general, each crisis is a new opportunity for seeking modern and appropriate models and tools for business improvement. When business situations are challenging, managers are more oriented toward controlling. Therefore, organisations that focus on traditional management models are not very successful in normal circumstances, and even less so in a crisis. This study aims to examine the extent of the structure and function of management control systems in pandemic conditions in Croatian organisations. An overview of current systems in organizations was given, as well as management challenges of the pandemic situations. This study includes the analysis of management control system during the pandemic times. The research was conducted using survey method what referred to analyses of strategic plans, performance evaluation systems, and management controls for performance evaluation in Croatian organisations. The factor analysis of the main components was conducted in order to examine the contribution of predictor variables in explaining the broad-scope management control system. In order to examine the contribution of gender, age, work experience, education, company size, aggregation, timeliness, and integration for explaining of broad-scope the management control system hierarchical regression analysis was conducted. The results confirm that integration is significant predictor in the crisis controlling model, but at the same time, when the integration and timeliness should have positive connection, greater timeliness does not increase to the greater availability. This withdraws the conclusion that uncertainty of environment extents the speed of business processes. Despite of the equal integration during pandemic crises the remote working conditions caused the decrease of the promptness of reporting collected information, which requires new models of controlling in unpredictable situations.
CROATIAN CITIES DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS: CHALLENGES, RESPONSES AND ADJUSTMENTS
Authors: Dobrić Jambrović Dana
Published: July 2021

The main research question of the paper is related to the identification and analysis of the challenges that Croatian local units face during the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. First, the regulatory framework of the civil protection system was presented to determine a direction of research of organizational and functional adjustments of local units for effective crisis management. Empirical research was conducted using the data content analysis (legal regulations, strategic documents, soft law documents, and web sourced data). Research findings have shown that local units face challenges in the areas of political governance, administrative and professional affairs, local budget, and the implementation of local democracy mechanisms. Therefore, in each of the identified areas, the author has analyzed elements that are subject to adaptation to national recommendations to reduce the spread of coronavirus. In doing so, attention is focused on large cities and county centers and their adjustments during crisis management were analyzed.
“WOULD MONEY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?”: HOW EFFECTIVE CAN THE RULE-OF-LAW-BASED PROTECTION OF FINANCIAL INTERESTS IN THE EU STRUCTURAL AND ENLARGEMENT POLICY BE?
Authors: Pejović Aleksandar-Andrija
Published: July 2021

In recent years, the rule of law and, especially, its “proper” implementation has become one of the most debated topics in Europe in recent years. The “Big Bang Enlargement” marked the beginning of dilemmas whether the new EU Member States fulfil the necessary rule of law criteria and opened the way for divergent views on how to implement TEU Article 2 values in practice. Furthermore, constant problems and difficulty of the candidate countries to fulfil the necessary rule of law criteria added to the complexity of the problem. In turn, the European institutions have tried to introduce a series of mechanisms and procedures to improve the oversight and make the states follow the rules - starting from the famous Treaty on the European Union (TEU) Article 7, the Rule of Law Mechanism, annual reports on the rule of law and the most recent Conditionality Regulation. The Conditionality Regulation was finally adopted in December 2020 after much discussion and opposition from certain EU Member States. It calls for the suspension of payments, commitments and disbursement of instalments, and a reduction of funding in the cases of general deficiencies with the rule of law. On the other hand, similar provisions were laid out in the February 2020 enlargement negotiation methodology specifying that in the cases of no progress, imbalance of the overall negotiations or regression, the scope and intensity of pre-accession assistance can be adjusted downward thus descaling financial assistance to candidate countries. The similarities between the two mechanisms, one for the Member States, the other for candidate countries shows an increased sharing of experiences and approaches to dealing with possible deficiencies or breaches of the rule of law through economic sanctioning, in order to resolve challenges to the unity of the European union. The Covid-19 pandemic and the crisis it has provoked on many fronts has turned the attention of the Member States (i.e. the Council) away from the long running problematic issues. Consequently, the procedures against Poland and Hungary based on the Rule of Law Mechanism have slowed down or become fully stalled, while certain measures taken up by some European states have created concerns about the limitations of human rights and liberties. This paper, therefore, analyses the efforts the EU is making in protecting the rule of law in its Member States and the candidate countries. It also analyses the new focus of the EU in the financial area where it has started to develop novel mechanisms that would affect one of the most influential EU tools – the funding of member and candidate countries through its structural and enlargement policy. Finally, it attempts to determine and provide conclusions on the efficiency of new instruments with better regulated criteria and timing of activities will be and how much they would affect the EU and its current and future member states.
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND THE RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL
Authors: Kamber Krešimir , Kovačić Markić Lana
Published: July 2021

On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organization announced the Covid-19 (coronavirus) to be a pandemic. To combat the pandemic, many countries had to adopt emergency measures and some of these measures have affected the judicial system, especially the functioning of courts. The pandemic has been characterised as far as the judiciary is concerned by complete or partial closure of court buildings for the parties and for the public. It is clear that the functioning of national judicial systems has been severely disrupted. This limited functioning of courts impacted the individuals’ right to a fair trial guaranteed, in particular, under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The aim of this article is to examine the manner of the administration of justice during the Covid pandemic and its impact on the due process guarantees. Focus is put on the extent to which different Covid measures, in particular remote access to justice and online hearings have impacted the guarantees of the right to a fair trial and the due process guarantees in general, notably in detention cases. In this connection, the article provides a comparative overview of the functioning of the European legal systems during the pandemic. It also looks into the way in which the two European courts – the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union functioned, as well as the way in which the Croatian courts, including the Constitutional Court, organised their work during the pandemic. The article then provides an insight into the issue of online/remote hearings in the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights and in the Croatian Constitutional Court’s case-law. On the basis of this assessment, the article identifies the differences in the use of remote/online hearings between and within jurisdictions. In conclusion, the article points to some critical considerations that should be taken into account when devising the manner in which any Covid pandemic experience with the administration of justice (notably with regard to remote/online hearings) can be taken forward.

Contrasting pollination efficiency and effectiveness among flower visitors of Malva sylvestris, Borago officinalis and Onobrychis viciifolia
Authors: Gorenflo Anna , Diekötter Tim , Van Kleunen Mark , Wolters Volkmar , Jauker Frank
Published: July 2021

Biotic pollination is an important factor for ecosystem functioning and provides a substantial ecosystem service to human food security. Not all flower visitors are pollinators, however, and pollinators differ in their pollination performances. In this study, we determined the efficiencies of flower visitors to the plant species Malva sylvestris, Borago officinalis and Onobrychis viciifolia by analysing stigmatic pollen deposition. We further calculated pollinator effectiveness by scaling up single-visit pollen deposition using visitation frequency. Flower-visitor groups differed in their efficiencies at the single-visit level and not all of them deposited more pollen compared to unvisited stigmas. Bumblebees tended to be most efficient in depositing pollen per single visit across the three plant species. Due to the by far highest visitation frequencies, Apis mellifera showed the highest effectiveness in depositing pollen per hour for M. sylvestris and B. officinalis, but not for O. viciifolia, for which the Bombus lapidarius complex was both the most frequent and the most effective pollinator group. Hence, the most frequent flower visitors were most effective in our study. For non-dominant pollinator groups, however, visitation frequencies contributed disproportionally to pollinator effectiveness. Thus, combining pollen deposition per single-visit with visitation frequency is necessary to reveal true pollinator performance and to better understand flower-visitor interactions.
Assessing the risk of stigma clogging in strawberry flowers due to pollinator sharing with oilseed rape
Authors: Herbertsson Lina , Gåvertsson Ida , Klatt Björn K , Smith Henrik G
Published: July 2021

Strawberry and oilseed rape are economically important and co-flowering insect-pollinated crops that may affect each other via shared pollinators. One potential negative effect of pollinator sharing is stigma clogging, i.e. that pollen from one plant species covers the stigma and prevents pollination in the other. We tested if application of oilseed rape pollen on strawberry receptacles reduces pollination with subsequent effects on strawberry weight, number of malformations and ripening time. We simulated real pollination situations by using dead bees mounted on toothpicks to mimic flower-visitation of foraging bees. Six strawberry flowers, usually on different plant individuals, were hand-pollinated sequentially per simulated foraging bout. In half of these foraging bouts, we started with an oilseed rape flower, and in those foraging bouts the proportion oilseed rape pollen was expected to decline with increasing number of visited strawberry flowers. Oilseed rape pollen had no effect on any of the tested variables. Increasing number of previously visited strawberry flowers in the simulated foraging bout enhanced the number of developed achenes, but this was marginally non-significant when accounting for the total number of achenes. Strawberry weight increased and ripening time decreased with increasing number of pollinated achenes, whereas none of the tested factors had any effect on the number of malformations. Our results have implications for strawberry farmers, because shortened ripening time could reduce the risk of yield loss from pests, diseases and unfavourable weather conditions. In addition, we show that oilseed rape pollen is unlikely to disturb pollination success of strawberry flowers.
Honest signalling and the billboard effect: how Heliconiid pollinators respond to the trichromatic colour changing Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae)
Authors: Maharaj Gyanpriya , Bourne Godfrey
Published: July 2021

Plants communicate with their pollinators through an astonishing range of signals that serve as either honest or deceptive cues which draw in and inform potential visitors of possible rewards. In wild type sweet sage, Lantana camara, floral colour signals were associated with nectar volume and sucrose concentration, and many pollinator taxa quickly learned to associate these varying colour signals with rewards. We tested the hypothesis that if sweet sage is employing a generalist pollinator strategy based on a trichromatic changing floral presentation system of honest rewards for pollinators, then the following predictions will be realized: 1) pre-change yellow flowers will be visited more frequently by pollinators than post change orange, or red flowers; 2) pre-change yellow flowers will produce higher quality and greater quantities of sucrose rewards than post-change orange, or red flowers; 3) inflorescences with higher ratios of rewarding flowers to unrewarding flowers are more attractive at short distances; and 4) inflorescences with a combination of pre-change rewarding and post-change rewarding and unrewarding flowers will act as a multi-coloured advertising billboard and as such be most attractive at long distances. We found corroboration for all of the aforementioned predictions. Thus, sweet sage evolved a generalized pollination visitation system based on honest signalling―of reward quantity and quality tied to colour changing visual signals acting in consort to produce a billboard that was easily perceived and deciphered. These resulted in high visitation rates by many different taxa of pollinators, thus contributing to higher individual plant fitness.
Plant-pollinator interactions in East Asia: a review
Authors: Funamoto Daichi
Published: July 2021

Pollination studies in East Asia have been developing rapidly in recent decades. East Asia may provide important information on many aspects of plant-pollinator interactions because of the rich fauna and flora and highly heterogeneous environments that occur there. In this review, plant-pollinator interactions in East Asia were summarized. Bumblebees are important pollinators of many plant species in East Asia, as well as in Europe and North America. Native honeybees may also have important roles in pollination in East Asia. Bird pollination and hawkmoth pollination may be less common in East Asia than in North America. Geographic variation in pollination interactions is expected because several types of pollinators are rare or absent in some habitats or geographic regions. For example, specialized nectar-feeding vertebrates like sunbirds and pteropodid bats are absent from most of East Asia except for some areas in its southern part. Opportunistic nectar-feeding vertebrates may have important roles in pollination where specialized nectar-feeding vertebrates are absent. Human impacts on plant pollinator interactions are understudied in this region. However, climate change, habitat degradation, and invasive species may have negative impacts on plant-pollinator interactions and thus plant reproductive success there. The information available on the plant-pollinator interactions in East Asia is still limited because many plant and pollinator taxa and many types of habitats are understudied.
Exploitation of Strobilanthes ixiocephala (Acanthaceae) flower buds by bees
Authors: Ambavane Priyanka A , More Nikhil P , Borges Renee M.
Published: July 2021

Floral larceny by bees has been studied mostly in open flowers although it is also experienced in buds. Until now, only few studies have recorded larceny of unopened flowers. In this study, we present behavioural observations of Apis and non-Apis bees exploiting Strobilanthes ixiocephala (Acanthaceae) buds for floral rewards. The bees pierce open the anterior end of the unopened buds to access pollen and nectar.
Insect pollination and sustainable agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Tolera Kumsa , Ballantyne Gavin
Published: July 2021

We are currently seeing an expansion of pollinator-dependent crops in many parts of the world, but also growing evidence for pollinator population declines and loss of pollinator habitat. Climate change and population growth will place additional demands on crop production, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite the wealth of evidence that improved management of insect pollinators can lead to substantial gains in crop yield, agricultural improvement strategies in SSA still emphasize the manipulation of abiotic factors and do not fully exploit the value of pollinators. In this article we review the importance of pollination services in sustainable agriculture, how global perspectives can inform our understanding of the situation in SSA, discuss successful pollination management, highlight where research and development are required, and suggest possible solutions to enhance the contribution of pollination services to sustainable agriculture in the region.

This activity aims to study and improve the development of village tourism potential in the formulation of a creative economy tourism model in Kartikajaya Village, Kendal Regency, Central Java. The unemployment rate in this district is quite high, at 6%. It is greater than the unemployment rate in Central Java, which is 4.5% (Bappeda Central Java Province, 2019). This research is an action research conducted by mapping the tourism potential in Kartikajaya Village based on creative economy through the study of tourism potential and the preparation of community creativity. The creative economy provides skills and an alternative source of income through tourism around Kartikajaya Village. The data collection method used interviews with informants with a sample of 20 people (the Tourism Office, Industry Service, PKK, UMKM, Youth Organization, Pokdarwis, communities, and tourists), direct observation to the field, documents, and through FGD (Focus Group Discussion). The results of research by researchers on the aspect of internal strength come from the potential for tourist attraction and the creative economy. Meanwhile, the external analysis is a study of the potential for tourism to the community's economy, namely entrepreneurial opportunities, job opportunities, tourism supporting factors, and regional economic development drivers. This weakness occurs at the level of human resources who do not have training / skills in the tourism sector.

Published: July 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit various sectors, including the stock market where many people are hesitant to invest in stocks. Many industries have been affected by Covid-19, where since March 2020 the Indonesia Stock Exchange Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) has decreased because many investors sold their shares, but since the third week of May 2020 to early June 2020 has shown an increase indicating stock trading has begun to show improvement. This study aims to analyze which sector stocks are still able to survive during the COVID-19 pandemic, by using stock trading volume data, Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG), weekly and monthly market capitalization values with a sample of 20 stocks - the highest stocks. based on sales volume and transaction value on the Indonesian stock exchange for the period March 2020 to June 2020 obtained from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) weekly report and the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) Monthly Report. The results show that during the COVID-19 pandemic, investors can still get benefits in investing in stocks if every decision made by these investors is supported by careful calculations.
Trabajar por amor al arte: precariedad laboral como forma de violencia contra los periodistas en México
Authors: González Macías Rubén Arnoldo , Cepeda Robledo Dulce Alexandra
Published: July 2021

Las agresiones contra la prensa no se limitan a los asesinatos, golpizas o secuestros. Por el contrario, en países como México, los informadores enfrentan cada vez mayores riesgos, tales como amenazas, campañas de difamación o espionaje digital. A pesar de la diversidad de ataques, el tema de la precariedad laboral como una forma de violencia no ha sido estudiado en profundidad. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar la percepción que los trabajadores de medios mexicanos tienen respecto a las condiciones con las que realizan sus tareas cotidianamente. A partir de una serie de entrevistas semiestructuradas con periodistas en activo ubicados en los 23 estados más peligrosos del país, los resultados indican que las circunstancias laborales adversas obstaculizan el cumplimiento de su función, la cual es fomentar la rendición de cuentas de la clase en el poder y, como resultado, mantener informada a la sociedad. Asimismo, el origen de esta situación se encuentra en las propias organizaciones mediáticas, cuyos dueños anteponen los intereses económicos a los estrictamente periodísticos.

Abstract. In this documental research work they are presented as the origin of  fideicomisos de infraestructura y bienes raíces or FIBRA, the development of this type of investment instruments in the world, as well as the legal and fiscal structure of the FIBRA in Mexico. For this, the Real Estate Investment Trust or REITs are presented, which are an investment mechanism that finance large real estate not only in America, but throughout the world. This allows the public money market to participate in these investments, although in their history they have presented different risks and yields due to the legal framework of their countries of origin. In Mexico, the legal structure of the FIBRA is very robust and similar to that of the USA. One of the engines of these instruments is the tax exemption they offer; for this reason, the case of Spain has not awakened, it still does not motivate the interest of the market insofar as it does not offer these tax benefits. There is a great appetite all over the world for these instruments. The big question will be to what extent are viable options to use them as a diversification mechanism in order to decrease risk or increase performance.Key words: alternatives on investment, financial performance, financial portfolios, Mexican REIT, MTPJEL: G400, G110 & G150. Resumen. En este trabajo de investigación documental se presentan como el origen de los fideicomisos de infraestructura y bienes raíces o FIBRA, el desarrollo de este tipo de instrumentos de inversión en el mundo, además de la estructura legal y fiscal de los  FIBRA en México. Para ello se presentan los Real Estate Investment Trust o REITs que son un mecanismo de inversión que financian grandes propiedades inmobiliarias no sólo en América, sino en todo el mundo. Esto permite que el mercado de dinero público participe en estas inversiones, aunque en su historia han presentado diferentes riesgos y rendimientos debido al marco legal de sus países de origen. En México, la estructura legal de los FIBRA es muy robusta y parecida a la de EUA. Uno de los motores de estos instrumentos es la exención fiscal que ofrecen; por ello, el caso de España no han funcionado  estos instrumentos  y  siguen sin motivar el interés del mercado en la medida en que no ofrece estos beneficios fiscales. Existe un gran apetito en todo el mundo por estos instrumentos. La gran pregunta será hasta qué punto son opciones viables para usarlos como mecanismo de diversificación a fin de disminuir el riesgo o aumentar el rendimiento.Palabras clave: alternativas de inversión, desempeño financiero, FIBRA, portafolio financiero, TPM

Abstract. More than 70% of startups in Mexico fail during their first years of operation, mainly due to lack of strategic guidelines. Cafetalera Alianza, a micro company that sells ground coffee in Monterrey, Mexico, has three years of operations without being able to grow and consolidate in the market. To design a business plan that reduces the risk of failure, strategic tools are used such as the value net (Nalebuff et al., 1996), the ERIC matrix (Mauborgne et al., 2005) and the canvas model (Osterwalder et al., 2011). This will allow the company to know its environment and itself, and thus be able to formulate a strategy based on the theory but, mainly, on the practical.Key words: agribusiness, business strategy, entrepreneurship, startup managementJEL: M13, M31, Q13.Resumen.
