Looking Through the Binoculars
Authors: Im Noa
Published: May 2023

As a militarily restricted zone, the DMZ space has been slowly consumed by wildlife. The irony is that because it is prohibited to humans by the fact of human conflict, today this military space acts as a wildlife preserve. This preserved space only exists in-between reality and fantasy, a mirage in South Koreans’ mind. This major research project analyzes not only this contradiction but also military conflict, political division, and social trauma through the lens of DMZ tourism, discussing how this military space plays roles in modern South Korean culture and society. Also, the personal point of view in this film moves back and forth between reality and fantasy, capturing the surreal nature of South Korean military tourism and social conflicts, using narration over contemporary shots of tourist sites, archival footage, and performance.

Authors: Sanchez-Sanfaçon Adriana-Camille
Published: May 2023

This project will focus on the history of resistance and feminism through the exploration of el Baile de las Tijeras, with the new expression of female dancers, commonly called the Warmi Dansaqs (Women Dancers in Quechua). Through research on this dance and the history of Peru, this project explores the experience of Warmi Dansaqs; how it has shown resistance throughout the years and how it is still a site of resistance today. This piece is here to make audiences reflect, to pique viewer's curiosity for them to want to understand how this dance is in itself a unique way of documentation, a way of passing on information and history from generation to generation since pre-colonial time. 
A Novel Pandemic: Quarantine, Evacuation, and Back Again
Authors: Bonner Walter A.
Published: May 2023

This novel pandemic has brought out the best and the worst in many social actors. We have seen evidence of cooperative behaviour by members of the public and selfless behaviour among front line workers. We have also seen partisan bickering and blame laying, as well as protest and civil disobedience. This paper explores the legislative, regulatory, communication, and procurement powers of public policy practitioners. The data deal with cooperative behaviour, conflicting policies, and research into human reaction to emergencies. This pandemic was chosen as a catalyst to study a range of issues because an international risk emergency brings policy and administrative matters into sharp relief. The need is protracted, and so are the lessons. The lessons include a gender and political perspective on preparing for an emergency, public communication during a protracted risk event, and asymmetrical approaches to emergency preparedness and response. A conclusion is that state actors in the broad sense of government have not prepared adequately to manage risks before and during emergencies. 
Priorities First: Punctuated Equilibrium Theory and Environment Canada, 1972-2019
Authors: Weekes Gabriel
Published: May 2023

The Government of Canada plays a critical role in setting national and international environmental policy. Yet there has been little research conducted on how the government has prioritized environmental policy over time. This paper examines the budgets of Environment Canada from the time of its creation in 1971 to 2019 using information from the Public Accounts of Canada. This assessment shows that Liberal governments support environmental policy funding to a greater extent than Conservative governments, but that political partisanship does not solely determine support for Environment Canada’s budget. Using punctuated equilibrium theory (PET) and measurements of Environment Canada’s budget as a percentage of overall government spending, this research also finds that there has been significant volatility in environmental budget funding patterns. This suggests that an environmental “policy monopoly” within the Government of Canada has not been reached and Canadians are likely to continue seeing significant variation in the future. 
Social Provisioning in Crisis: A Feminist Economic Analysis of the Federal Policy Response to the 2008 Economic Crisis in Canada
Authors: Baker Emma
Published: May 2023

The 2008 economic crisis and subsequent recession in Canada was among the worst since the Great Depression. Mainstream economists have credited Canada’s policy response to the crisis in avoiding the worst of its effects. However, many Canadians continued to experience the aftershocks of the crisis long after economists considered it over. Feminist economics challenges the foundational assumptions and values of mainstream economics and defines economics as social provisioning – how we meet our human needs for sustenance. Using social provisioning as an analytical framework, this paper demonstrates that Canada’s federal policy response to the 2008 economic crisis was firmly entrenched within a capitalist, neoliberal political economy that reproduces relations of inequality, and that the determination of what constitutes an economic crisis is informed by that inequality. This analysis reveals both an alternative policy response to crisis, and a caution for future crises if past mistakes are repeated. 
A Few Choice Words: Discourse, Decolonization and the Dissolution of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada
Authors: Dubay Lauren
Published: May 2023

Throughout its tenure, the Trudeau government has made public commitments to reform the relationship between Canada and Indigenous Peoples. In particular, the Trudeau government’s decision to dissolve Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada and divide its mandate into two separate departments: Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada and the Department of Indigenous Services Canada has been framed as an avenue for decolonization. This paper seeks to determine, through an analysis of the new departmental changes, whether this reform exemplifies the federal government’s claims that it will facilitate decolonization and build an equitable relationship between the Canadian government and Indigenous Peoples. This study also analyzes the Trudeau government’s discourse using a critical discourse analysis to evaluate the rhetoric and intentions surrounding the federal government’s decision to dissolve INAC. From these analyses, it is evident that the dissolution of INAC does not coincide with the reconciliatory and decolonization discourse the federal government employs. 
Improving Groundwater Policy Using an Alternative Economic Policy Instrument in Ontario: Aligning Sustainability Governance with Corporate Groundwater Takings Practice
Authors: Garnet-Abrams Taylor
Published: May 2023

Groundwater is a finite and depletable natural resource. According to the Canadian government, groundwater is the primary source of water for washing and drinking for 28.5% of Ontarians. Over-pumping of groundwater affects its quality and negatively impacts ground and surface water ecosystems. Ontario’s Water Resources Act (1990) stipulates that corporations involved in water bottling apply for permits to pump groundwater if the firm intends to take more than 50,000 litres of water on any given day. The rate that water bottling companies pay for water prevents Ontario from recovering administrative regulatory costs and does not incentivize conservation or signal value for groundwater. This paper examines Ontario’s groundwater policies, agreements and policy instruments relating to water takings and investigates an Inverted Block Rate Structure (IBRS) as an alternative economic policy instrument. The findings suggest an IBRS can efficiently allocate greater controls over Ontario water resources, encourage conservation, thereby improving groundwater governance. 
The Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to Risk Analysis in Insurance and Reinsurance

Published: May 2023

The article is aimed at further development of theoretical and methodological approaches to risk reinsurance in order to provide financial sustainability of an insurance company. An approach to risk analysis in insurance and reinsurance is proposed. The introduction of the concepts of complete and partial uncertainty and their relationship with the concept of risk made it possible to closer define the concept of risk and formulate it in the form of a financial and economic category. The term «risk» is proposed to be understood as a subjective estimation of an objective uncertainty, which describes the multiplicity of changes in the equilibrium stability of a socioeconomic system and is expressed in the form of a function of a random event. A somewhat closer defined concept of insurance risk is also proposed, which means a significant risk in its consequences for citizens and business entities, which can be assessed from the standpoint of the probability of occurrence of an insured event, quantitative amounts of possible damage and has signs of frequency and limitation in space and time. It is noted that clarification of the criteria of insurance risk in the general classification system of risks of an insurance organization allows assessing the need for reinsurance depending on the types of risk distribution. Analysis of features and dynamics of insurance risk, computation of insurance tariffs allows to substantiating the need for reinsurance for each type of insurance risk. It is proposed, to develop a model for analyzing the insurer’s reinsurance activity on the basis of the theory of decision-making under conditions of complete and partial uncertainty, to use the criteria of game theory: Wald criterion, Swidge criterion, Hurwitz criterion. To analyze the real financial sustainability, it is proposed to introduce adjustments to the existing methodological approaches, adding the objects transferred to reinsurance and the risk ratios present in the insurer’s activities; it is further proposed to take into account the impact of forms and types of reinsurance contracts on the financial sustainability of the company. The proposed theoretical and methodological provisions and conclusions can be used when accepting risks on the responsibility of the insurer and their subsequent redistribution.
The Forms of Digitalization of the Tourism Industry of Spain
Authors:   Stryi Vocational College of the Lviv National University of Nature Management, Tymoshchuk Oleksandr O.
Published: May 2023

The article examines the functioning of the tourism sector in Spain, which is a competitive, highly profitable national business whose efficiency directly depends on the information database and digital technologies. It is substantiated that the accelerated digital transformation of tourism in Spain will help to stimulate economic growth, increase labor productivity and increase employment of the population. The seven most important forms of digital technological solutions used in the Spanish tourism industry are allocated: 1) mobile technologies today perform a whole range of services in the digitization of the tourism sector; 2) augmented reality (AR) has also entered the world of travel in Spain owing to the opportunities it can offer to those who wish to travel virtually; 3) the Internet of Things (IoT) promises to bring significant updates to the tourism industry and will become a major transformational factor in personalizing the customer experience over the next few years; 4) virtual assistants Siri and Alexa are being used by hotels to provide digital comfort for tourists; 5) the multiplier effect of the use of Big Data technologies in the Spanish tourism industry allows to build effective interaction between the government and business communities, improve and personalize travel services; 6) travel companies that rely on Blockchain functions to develop their loyalty and reward programs, certainly create a competitive advantage over other entities in the tourism market; 7) travel technology is becoming even more powerful thanks to the 5G networks. It is justified that in the future, the digitalization of tourism will be accompanied by a further process of squeezing the traditional companies with offline offices out of the tourism market along with the development of tour design according to the parameters individually set by each specific client.

Published: May 2023

The concepts, theories, and practices of strategic management have become very important in the modern management literature. This has become evident due to the complex, ambiguous, and dynamic nature of modern corporate management, which has been a concern for scholars in this field. The main purpose of this article is to review strategic management with an emphasis on its conceptions, theory, and connection with the resource-based philosophy of a firm’s competitive advantage. The authors analyzed the relevant literature establishing the relationship between the theory of strategic management and the competitive advantage of a firm on the grounds of the resource-based philosophy. It is specified that the resource-based model is one of the main theories of strategic management, which helps to explain the effectiveness of an organization. The main strategies for entering the external market are considered, namely: SWOT analysis; Porter’s Five Forces model; the Balanced Scorecard; Blue Ocean strategy; Agile strategy; PESTEL analysis. Each of the considered strategies for a firm’s entry into the external market has its own disadvantages and undoubted advantages, which should be considered, first of all, in the context of the product features. In the course of the study the key components of strategic management and the stages of strategic analysis are identified. Studying the competitive advantage of an organization from this school of thought allows organizations to measure the value of their internal resources and capabilities, in particular, to achieve competitive advantage. It is argued for that that the purpose of a system analysis of the external environment consists in identifying the future opportunities that a company can safely rely on, as well as to in detecting threats that may arise and which need to be prevented or reduced, also in determining the position of the enterprise opposite to competitors in the field of input factors and production. It is also proved that the advantages possessed by an enterprise should play a decisive role in choosing a strategy.

With economic and social progress, the focus of regional unbalanced development has evolved. In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, people’s aspirations for a better life are no longer limited to material and cultural necessities; the notion of a better life has become increasingly diversified, transcending individual or family micro-level welfare to embrace a comprehensive perspective of societal development. Focusing on the ethnic regions of Southwest China, this paper examines the fundamental characteristics of their coordinated economic and social development and offers relevant policy recommendations that provide a theoretical framework for scholars studying balanced regional economic growth. This study describes the characteristics of balanced economic and social development in Southwest China’s ethnic regions in four dimensions: sustainable economic growth, social stability, ecological civilization construction, and people-centered development ideology. Through comparative analysis, it presents a synthesis of domestic and international research, and summarizes the theoretical foundations and practical experiences essential for the future development of Southwest China’s ethnic regions. This paper examines four key elements for the development of ethnic regions in Southwest China. First, it emphasizes high-quality economic growth, which increases total factor productivity through supply-side structural reform and promotes the establishment of a modern industrial system. Second, social stability, a crucial component in realizing a better life, requires strengthening social justice and strengthening the social security system while maintaining national unity. Third, the paper stresses the importance of building an ecological civilization and advocates green technology, green industry and green consumption to achieve sustainable development. Finally, a people-centered development ideology safeguards livelihoods and focuses on education, income distribution, employment, and other areas. This paper explores the basic characteristics of coordinated economic and social progress in Southwest China’s ethnic regions, and provides a theoretical framework for scholars to explore balanced regional economic development.

The publication examines the problems of housing and communal services, which consist in the unprofitable operation of housing and communal services enterprises, significant amounts of receivables and payables, outdated equipment and lack of finance for their modernization, etc. Potential participants and directions of socioeconomic development in the form of a «Regional Cluster of Urban Life Support Enterprises» are formed. The authors propose to integrate urban life support enterprises into a corporation of utilities of water supply, sewerage and heat supply, which will consist of combining: the enterprises from other sectors; the areas of intellectual development, the enterprises for diversification of services; the regional water refinement complexes; the grouped water supply enterprises; and a municipal information and analytical enterprise. It is noted that in the developed countries of the European Union there is a significant number (more than 2 thousand) of quite similar clusters, and up to 100 countries have programs for creating clusters today. Strategic ways for further work on the formation of such cluster formations for urban life support enterprises of Ukrainian cities have been elaborated. These include: 1. Identification of strategic directions of reform and development. 2. Innovative development of management processes. 3. Innovative development of management technology. 4. Innovative development of the enterprise management system. 5. Development of methods of information and analytical support of enterprise management. 6. Proposal of innovative methods and measures for diversification and integration of activities. 7. Proposal of restructuring models. 8. Proposal of models of the public-private reform. 9. Proposal of models of socioeconomic and intellectual clusters as a strategy for innovative development of both the enterprise and the region. 10. Proposal of individual innovative projects (measures) in the sphere of production and commerce to improve financial and economic sustainability and production-economic reliability.
Characterizing the Structural Elements of the Investment Climate
Authors:   Drohobych Ivan Franko State Pedagogical University, Yachymets Yuriy М.
Published: May 2023

The article analyzes the conditions for the formation of the investment climate of the State using the following system of structural elements: first, investment attractiveness as an integral characteristic of individual enterprises, industries, regions, and countries in general from the standpoint of development perspective, return on investment, and the level of investment risks; secondly, investment activity as a quantitative measure of attracting real investment in fixed assets, which is a prerequisite for economic development and is achieved through the most efficient use and growth of investment volumes in priority sectors of material production and the social sphere through the realized investment resources; thirdly, investment potential as a quantitative characteristic of investment attractiveness, which is not a simple but a certain ordered set of investment resources that allow achieving a synergy effect and obtaining the effect of interaction of various factors; fourth, investment risk as a qualitative assessment of investment attractiveness, a probable characteristic of investment loss, which depends on the political, social, economic, financial, ecological, criminal situation and legislative environment. It is noted that the quality of the investment climate of a country or business environment determines the risks and transaction costs of investing and operating a business. It is emphasized that it is very difficult to provide an accurate quantitative assessment of the investment climate, so it is usually assessed as: favorable; unfavorable; neutral. It is justified that the investment climate is formed under the influence of a set of factors that characterize the conditions of investment activity of both objective and subjective plans and determine the level of risk of investment.
Filters in Providing Social Assistance to the Working Population: Possibilities of Institutionalization
Authors:   Institute for Economics and Forecasting of NAS of Ukraine, Perehudova Tetiana V.
Published: May 2023

The purpose of the article was to study the social protection of the able-bodied population in the context of the systematization of filters when determining the target group of beneficiaries with an outline of the ways of further reforming social protection with the optimization of the filtering process. In the process of researching legal acts that regulate social protection, we discovered the following filters, which are used to screen out applicants and form an address group of aid recipients: insurance case; conditionality of social assistance; financial capacity of a person or a family; a person's participation in the mandatory State social insurance; participation in active employment programs; tying the amount of assistance to social standards and/or the presence of previous uniform contributions to the mandatory State social insurance, taking into account insurance experience and the amount of wages. As a result of the study, debatable aspects were revealed in the formation of the population filtering process from the standpoint of defining the target group of persons. In order to institutionalize the system of social protection of the able-bodied population, the following proposals have been formulated: the assessment of a person's financial capacity should be based on fair social standards; the system of social protection for able-bodied persons should be built by encouraging them to make social contributions, to be a member of the mandatory State social insurance; mandatory participation of able-bodied persons in employment programs to support their competitiveness on the labor market, formation of motivation for social participation in social-labor relations in order to help a person get out of the status of a beneficiary; simplification of procedures and restrictions that hinder the receipt of assistance; in some types of aid, its conditionality should be strengthened to improve the quality of human capital formation; strengthening supervision and application of relevant norms regarding informal employment, in particular through better coordination of actions of relevant government structures; conducting social awareness campaigns regarding the negative consequences of informal employment for social protection.

Authors:   Institute of Regional Research named after M. I. Dolishniy of the NAS of Ukraine, Patytska Khrystyna O.
Published: May 2023

The purpose of the article is to identify the risks of agricultural development in Ukraine in the context of wartime, to substantiate the economic consequences of the impact of the Russian invasion and the introduction of martial law on the logistics system in the agrarian sector. In the context of the carried out study, the problems faced by agricultural producers in the context of the wartime situation in Ukraine (problems caused by the occupation and hostilities in a large part of the country; disruption of food supply chains and resources necessary for agricultural work; problems for the development of agricultural production as a result of the financial crisis; problems caused by the development of the energy crisis) are identified and systematized. Risks to the agricultural producers’ activities are identified (reduced supply and demand for food products; reduced liquidity of agricultural producers, difficulty in accessing financing; undermining of agricultural land and damage to crops as a result of hostilities; difficulty in purchasing seeds, breeding livestock and poultry, fertilizers, machinery, fuel and lubricants; disruption of value chains and logistics chains; shortage of labor in the agrarian sector). The article emphasizes the ways to mitigate the risks in the context of implementing mechanisms for preventing and/or overcoming such problems by establishing cooperation between Ukraine, the EU and international organizations. The author substantiates the need to change approaches to the further development of the agricultural sector in the areas of development of «short» value chains and logistics, to focus on the decentralized local food production systems, adaptation of conditions and traditions of agriculture to new conditions. Prospects for further research lie in a detailed analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of agricultural development in Ukraine, taking into account the elaborated guidelines.
The Study of ZnO-NRs and Ge-chips Bandgaps for the Elimination of Elemental Semiconductors and Compound Semiconductors Applications
Authors: Hewadmal Mohammad Mohsen , Mahboob Mujibullah , Mosamem Sayed Abdul Saboor
Published: May 2023

In this paper, the bandgap of Germanium (Ge) and Zinc-Oxid (ZnO) materials were studied using two different techniques called the four-probe method and UV-Visible spectroscopy. A chip of Ge and a ZnO synthesized Nanorods on the FTO substrate were utilized as the samples. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy were applied to understand the morphology and the crystal structure of the ZnO particles on the substrate. To get bandgap for Ge, the variation of voltage concerning temperature in  current was recorded, and for ZnO- Nanorods (NRs), the absorption spectra in the range of (200-800) nm were taken. Based on obtained data and calculations, the band gap of Ge and ZnO-NRs were determined to be around  and  respectively. It revealed that the bandgap of compound semiconductors (ZnO- NRs) could be sufficiently large as compared to the elemental semiconductors (Ge), and through that, the modification of various devices is possible in the industry.
