How Does Successful Catch-Up Occur in Complex Products and Systems from the Innovation Ecosystem Perspective? A Case of China’s High-Speed Railway
Authors: Yang Zhongji , Qi Liangqun , Li Xin , Wang Tianxi
Published: June 2022

Successful catch-up is an important channel to achieve sustainable development for emerging economies; however, it is a great challenge to catch up in complex products and systems (CoPS). Studies show limited evidence on how successful catch-up occurred in CoPS for emerging economies. This study holds the view that CoPS catch-up means a narrower gap in the innovation ecosystem between latecomers and leaders. This study disentangles the CoPS innovation ecosystem and uses China’s high-speed railway (HSR) as a longitudinal case with abundant data to explore how successful catch-up in CoPS is achieved. The results show that the CoPS innovation ecosystem presents a dynamic evolution in the technology innovation subsystem, the value creation subsystem, and the habitat. Four types of forces from the innovation ecosystem mix together to drive CoPS catch-up. Finally, this study proposes a CoPS catch-up process model following the basic logic of start point, activities, and performance, and CoPS industrial standards are used to measure CoPS catch-up performance. The study on CoPS catch-up from an innovation ecosystem perspective provides new insights and useful implications for governments and entities in CoPS of emerging economies.

Authors: Ostrowska Agnieszka , Hura Tomasz
Published: June 2022

The aim of the study was to investigate specific responses of spring wheat (C3 photosynthesis) and maize (C4 photosynthesis) to drought and flooding stress. Analyses of water content, gas exchange intensity, photosynthetic apparatus activity, chlorophyll content, plant height and biological membrane integrity were performed on the 10th day of drought and flooding in both species at the third leaf stage. A specific response of wheat under both drought and flooding conditions involved an increase in ETo/RC ratio, describing electron transport flux converted into a single reaction center in PSII. Correlations between electrolyte leakage and the probability of electron transport beyond the plastoquinone QA, and the amount of energy used for the electron transport were also found. A specific response of maize during flooding was the increase of stomatal conductance. Additionally, a significant correlation between PN/Ci and relative water content was exhibited. Furthermore, the parameters differentiating the studied species only under stressful conditions were rendered. The application of such parameters can be widely used, e.g., for studying the reaction of a potential cultivars to drought and flooding. Providing such information to potential farmers can help better select cultivars for their environmental conditions.
How to Embrace Sustainable Performance via Green Learning Orientation: A Moderated Mediating Model
Authors: Wang Chao , Zhang Shushan , Zhang Xiue
Published: June 2022

Manufacturing enterprises have realized that organizational learning is conducive to the development of environmental and economic sustainability. However, prior literature has paid less attention to how green learning orientation affects sustainable performance. Based on organizational learning theory, this article constructs a moderated mediating model of the impact of green learning orientation on sustainable performance, using green innovation behavior as the mediating variable and corporate social responsibility (CSR) as the moderating variable. Through the empirical analysis of 193 valid questionnaires from middle and senior managers in Chinese manufacturing enterprises, the results show that green learning orientation positively affects green innovation behavior and sustainable performance, green innovation behavior plays a partial mediating role between green learning orientation and sustainable performance, the relationship between green learning orientation and green innovation behavior depends on CSR, and the mediating effect of green innovation behavior is moderated by CSR. The results provide a theoretical basis and practical implications for promoting green learning and improving sustainable performance of enterprises.

Published: June 2022

Over recent decades, Circular Economy (CE) has become a major topic when organizations try to develop their business amid the constrains of resource limitation and the desire to reduce their environmental impact. This study’s main purpose is to assess the integration of CE practices in public and private organizations in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Through an online survey distributed to 294 companies from the cited region, we assessed their perceptions on CE, including such aspects as the area(s) it was integrated in, why, with what difficulties or what was necessary to accomplish it, and how the impact of the implemented CE practices was measured. Results showed that companies associate CE mostly with “resource optimization”. “Entity’s vision and mission” was the main strategic area where CE was implemented. The main motivation why entities/organizations embraced CE was “environmental reasons”, while “lack of information and guidance” and “lack of financial resources” represented the main obstacles to CE implementation. Non-parametrical statistical tests were used to compare the answers of three groups of people with different positions within the company/entity (manager, executive, and technician), as well as to compare the answers of two activity sectors (industry and services).

Published: June 2022

In differentiated learning, the teacher needs to be aware of the learning styles of students in the classroom to accommodate specific learning preferences, e.g., the Felder–Silverman learning style model. The corresponding instrument, i.e., the Felder–Silverman Index of Learning Style (ILS), was designed to assess learning styles, specifically for engineering students. The ILS has been tested at the middle school level to identify the learning styles; however, validity/reliability had not been established in earlier studies with large samples. The focus of this study was to identify the validity and reliability of an ILS instrument for middle school students (N=450) by investigating the factor structure through factor analysis. This includes internal consistency reliability and constructing validity report of the ILS. An exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was undertaken to investigate the factor structure to establish validity. As a result of the study, the reliability of the instrument was established. Five-factors emerged through exploratory factor analysis (EFA), which were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The outcome provided five-factors (i.e., Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Tucker–Lewis Index (TLI), Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA), Standardized Root Mean Residual (SRMR), and Goodness of Fit (GFI)), out of which four factors were related to the four dimensions of the Felder–Silverman model, and the fifth factor was related to the association of sensing/intuitive and sequential/global dimensions of the model, which is in agreement with the theoretical construct of ILS. As a result of CFA, ILS entailing 24 items indicates a good fit with five-factor structure. CFI=0.922;TLI=0.927; RMSEA=0.026; SRMR=0.585;GFI=0.911;X2=277;df=42;p=0.60. This study suggests that the ILS for the secondary-grade students needs to be revised with fewer items to improve the reliability, as supported by empirical evidence through the EFA and CFA.
A Transformative State in the Wake of COVID-19: What Is Needed to Enable Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Education in Qatar?
Authors: Ben Hassen Tarek
Published: June 2022

Economic diversification is vital in achieving sustainable economic development, especially for countries relying on nonrenewable natural resources, such as oil and gas, in the case of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Moreover, the global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the significance of boosting resilience to adverse shocks. Indeed, the pandemic highlighted the need to promote nonhydrocarbon sectors by strengthening the fundamental pillars of the knowledge-based economy: ICT, innovation, R&D, education, entrepreneurship, and the economic and institutional regime. The COVID-19 pandemic has also shown how important it is to mobilize these pillars in record time. Like the other GCC countries, Qatar is seen as a transformative state, suggesting that, although oil and gas provide its primary export revenue, the government has also pushed to diversify its economy toward a knowledge-based one. Indeed, in 2019, hydrocarbons dominated Qatar’s economy, accounting for 90% of government income and 80% of export profits. However, this reliance exposes Qatar to fluctuations in the global oil and gas markets. Accordingly, economic diversification has come to the top of the government’s priority list. Preceding the COVID-19 pandemic, Qatar was already in the middle of an economic transition. The economic crisis caused by the pandemic and the drop in oil prices prompted the Qatari government to increase its diversification efforts. Qatar has a solid basis for transitioning to a knowledge-based economy based on its macroeconomic stability, suitable growth rates, and good governance. However, Qatar confronts several challenges in implementing the structural changes necessary for this transition. This paper has three objectives. Firstly, it aims to present the pillars of the knowledge-based economy and their link to the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondly, the paper aims to analyze the present state of the knowledge-based economy in Qatar, including its strengths, drawbacks, and its prospect for the future. Finally, the paper presents some structural reform recommendations to enable innovation, entrepreneurship, and education in Qatar.

Published: June 2022

In recent decades, the interest in social innovation and nature-based solutions has spread in scientific articles, and they are increasingly deployed for cities’ strategic planning. In this scenario, participatory approaches become pivotal to engaging the population and stakeholders in the decision-making process. In this paper, we reflect on the first year’s results and the strengths and weaknesses—of the participatory activities realized in Lucca to co-design and co-deploy a smart city based on human–animal relationships in the framework of the European project Horizon 2020 (IN-HABIT). Human–animal bonds, as nature-based solutions, are scientifically and practically underestimated. Data were collected on the activities organized to implement a public–private–people partnership in co-designing infrastructural solutions (so-called Animal Lines) and soft nature-based solutions to be implemented in the city. Stakeholders actively engaged in mutual discussions with great enthusiasm, and the emergent ideas (the need to improve people’s knowledge of animals and develop a map showing pet-friendly services and places and the need for integration to create innovative pet services) were copious and different while showing many connections among the various points of view. At the same time, a deeper reflection on the relationships among the participatory activities and institutionally integrated arrangements also emerged.
A Framework to Assess Social Indicators in a Circular Economy Perspective
Authors: Bianchini Augusto , Guarnieri Patricia , Rossi Jessica
Published: June 2022

The thriving circular economy is expected to contribute to all three dimensions of sustainable development: environmental, economic, and social. This paper aims to propose a framework to assess social indicators to support circular business models. To validate the framework, we conducted a case study in a medium-size Italian footwear luxury industry, using the Value Focused Thinking–VFT. This approach was used to define proper social indicators to measure the perception of the company’s managers related to the level of incorporation of social dilemmas in the company. We collect data through interviews, documental analysis and direct observation from October/2019 until August/2020 and apply a questionnaire in 2020/2021. The novelty of this paper lies in the proposition of a framework to assess the social indicators in broad categories, capable of covering all supply chains: Corporation, Community; Consumers; Suppliers; Human Rights and Human Resources. Another novelty is related to the analysis of indicators in terms of strategic, tactical, and operational levels, similarly to the idea of a Balanced Scorecard, which was allowed by applying the VFT approach.
Mycotoxin Regulatory Status in Africa: A Decade of Weak Institutional Efforts

Published: June 2022

Food safety problems are a major hindrance to achieving food security, trade, and healthy living in Africa. Fungi and their secondary metabolites, known as mycotoxins, represent an important concern in this regard. Attempts such as agricultural, storage, and processing practices, and creation of awareness to tackle the menace of fungi and mycotoxins have yielded measurable outcomes especially in developed countries, where there are comprehensive mycotoxin legislations and enforcement schemes. Conversely, most African countries do not have mycotoxin regulatory limits and even when available, are only applied for international trade. Factors such as food insecurity, public ignorance, climate change, poor infrastructure, poor research funding, incorrect prioritization of resources, and nonchalant attitudes that exist among governmental organisations and other stakeholders further complicate the situation. In the present review, we discuss the status of mycotoxin regulation in Africa, with emphasis on the impact of weak mycotoxin legislations and enforcement on African trade, agriculture, and health. Furthermore, we discuss the factors limiting the establishment and control of mycotoxins in the region.
Stueckelberg and Higgs Mechanisms: Frames and Scales
Authors: Popov Alexander D.
Published: June 2022

We consider Yang–Mills theory with a compact gauge group G on Minkowski space R3,1 and compare the introduction of masses of gauge bosons using the Stueckelberg and Higgs mechanisms. The Stueckelberg field ϕ is identified with a G-frame on the gauge vector bundle E and the kinetic term for ϕ leads to the mass of the gauge bosons. The Stueckelberg mechanism is extended to the Higgs mechanism by adding to the game a scalar field describing rescaling of metric on fibres of E. Thus, we associate Higgs fields as well as running coupling parameters with conformal geometry on fibres of gauge bundles. In particular, a running coupling tending to zero or to infinity is equivalent to an unbounded expansion of G-fibres or its contraction to a point. We also discuss scale connection, space-time dependent Higgs vacua and compactly supported gauge and quark fields as an attribute of confinement.
Damming-Induced Hydrogeomorphic Transition in Downstream Channel and Delta: A Case Study of the Yellow River, China

Published: June 2022

River dynamics and sediment budget play a crucial role in shaping geomorphic variability of river channels and deltaic environments. Basin-scale human activities, including dam construction, induce alterations in river flow and sediment dynamics in the downstream channels and to the delta, and quantification of sediment source shift along downstream fluvial-deltaic systems is often uncertain. This study analyzed the river regime changes and sediment dynamics of a typical sediment-laden fluvial-deltaic system—the lower Yellow River (LYR) and the Yellow River Delta (YRD) —to assess the integrated effects of dam impoundment and dam-based river regulation schemes on downstream hydrogeomorphic transition processes. The Xiaolangdi (XLD) Reservoir, which was completed in 2000 with a total storage of 12.7 km3, is the final reservoir located in the middle Yellow River and plays an important role in flood control and energy supply. Following the full operation of XLD Reservoir, the relationship between water and sediment in the LYR became more balanced, with a drastic decline of sediment input and seasonal migrations of floodwaters. The interannual variability of water levels at downstream hydrological stations indicated a geomorphic transition in the LYR from net deposition to erosion state. The building of the XLD Reservoir caused a downstream shift of river-originated sediment source and 48% of the total sediment delivered to the YRD was derived from the LYR. However, the reduced sediment delivery since 2000 has still triggered net land loss regarding the YRD system, with a strong spatial variability which is dominated by the reduced accretion at the active delta front and erosion at the abandoned river mouth and coastal engineering zone. Compared with other environmental factors, the construction of upstream dams contributed the most to the decline of downstream sediment delivery over the past decades. The challenge for sustainable sediment management is the gradual decline of scouring efficiency as the riverbed sediment is coarsening. Our study suggests that future river regulation strategies should consider the geomorphic sustainability of both the LYR and the YRD system.

Published: June 2022

Estuarine environmental capacity is the foundation for coastal biological diversity and self-purification capacity. Hence, studies on the marine environmental capacity (MEC) are the foundation for the total discharge control and water quality improvement of land-based pollutants. In the article, A calibrated two-dimensional hydrodynamic model was used to study the environmental characteristics of Sanmen Bay, including the tides, the residual currents, the tidal prism, and water exchange abilities. The model results were used to estimate the environmental capacity of the bay. Taking the pollution problem in Sanmen Bay as an example, the method of response factor, the sub-unit control method, and the phased control method were used to estimate the environmental capacity, pollutant amounts, and the pollutant reduction in the bay. The concentrations of COD, inorganic nitrogen, and acid salt in Sanmen Bay are spatially varied, with higher values occurring in the western part and in the inner bay. The half exchange time of the whole bay is about 23 days, and the exchange time of 95% water body is about 60 days. The evaluation of MEC cannot only provide technical support for the offshore aquaculture industries but also provide a scientific basis for the total control of terrigenous pollutants in coastal cities in Southern Zhejiang Province.
Exceptional Quantity of Water Habitats on Unreclaimed Spoil Banks

Published: June 2022

Surface mining is responsible for the large-scale destruction of affected landscapes. Simultaneously, the dumping of overburden soil on spoil banks during mining generates new landscapes, usually with heterogeneous topography. If spoil banks are not subsequently reclaimed technically (i.e., if the terrain is not leveled), considerable habitat diversity can thereby be established, consisting of numerous types of both terrestrial and water habitats. We compared the area and number of freshwater habitats between spoil banks (both technically unreclaimed and reclaimed) and the surrounding landscapes undisturbed by mining. The area of water habitats and especially their numbers per km2 were by far the greatest on unreclaimed spoil banks. Meanwhile, the quantity of water bodies on reclaimed spoil banks was about half that on non-mining landscapes. Great variety among the numerous water habitats, as indicated by their areas, depths, and proportions of aquatic vegetation on unreclaimed spoil banks, can contribute to regional landscape heterogeneity and water environment stability while providing conditions suitable for diverse taxa. The exceptional number of these water bodies can compensate for their loss in the surrounding landscape. We conclude that leaving some parts of spoil banks to spontaneous succession plays an irreplaceable role in the restoration of post-mining landscapes.

Published: June 2022

To control the negative effects resulting from the disorderly development of aquaculture ponds and promote the development of the aquaculture industry, rapid and accurate identification and extraction techniques are essential. An aquaculture pond is a special net-like water body divided by complex roads and dikes. Simple spectral features or spatial texture features are not sufficient to accurately extract it, and the mixed feature rule set is more demanding on computer performance. Supported by the GEE platform, and using the Landsat satellite data set and corresponding DEM combined with field survey data, we constructed a decision-making model for the extraction of aquaculture ponds in the coastal waters, and applied this method to the coastal waters of Southeast China. This method combined the image spectral information, spatial features, and morphological operations. The results showed that the total accuracy of this method was 93%, and the Kappa coefficient was 0.86. The overlapping proportions of results between the automated extraction and visual interpretation for test areas were all more than 90%, and the average was 92.5%, which reflected the high precision and reliability of this extraction method. Furthermore, in 2020, the total area of coastal aquaculture ponds in the study area was 6348.51 km2, which was distributed primarily in the cities of Guangdong and Jiangsu. Kernel density analysis suggested that aquaculture ponds in Guangdong and Jiangsu had the highest degree of concentration, which means that they face higher regulatory pressure in the management of aquaculture ponds than other provinces. Therefore, this method can be used to extract aquaculture ponds in coastal waters of the world, and holds great significance to promote the orderly management and scientific development of fishery aquaculture.

Beytül-Makdis üç semavi din için de mukaddes şehir olması sebebiyle tarih boyunca mücadele alanı olmuştur. Dolayısıyla dini merkeze alan bakış açısı, Yahudilerin Kudüs'e duyduğu sadakatte etkili bir faktördür. Mescid-i Aksa bir yanda Müslümanlar ve Filistinliler için vazgeçilmez bir yer olsa da, öte yandan Siyonizmin kutsal mekana karşı farklı düşünceleri vardı. Siyonizm, Anti-Semitizme karşı doğan ve tüm dünyadaki zulüm gören yahudileri kurtarma amacı güden ideolojidir. Siyonizm hareketinin önderliğinde kurulan İsrail'in mevcut durumu, kutsal topraklarda bir Yahudi devletinin kurulduğunun bir işaretidir. İsrail Devlet kurulduktan sonra, Hz. İbrahim'in inandıkları vaadini gerçekleştirmek için Beytül-Makdis'teki işgal bölgelerini oluşturdular. Bunun üzerine Mescid-i Aksa / Tapınak Dağı, eski şehrin ilhakı ile Siyonistlerin odak noktası haline geldi. Bu nedenle Mescid-i Aksa üzerindeki nihai amaç için planlar kurup eylemlerini gerçekleştirdiler. Bu amaca göre Siyonistler farklı ideolojilere sahip olsalar dahi Mescid-i Aksa'ya / Tapınak Dağına dini perspektiften yaklaşmışlardır. Ayrıca Siyonistler nihai amaçları için Mescid-i Aksa'ya yönelik girişimlerini sürdürmeye devam etmektedir. Bu çalışma 1967 savaş ve işgali öncesi ve sonrasında Kudüs'teki Mescid-i Aksa üzerinde çeşitli Siyonist ideolojilere dayalı planlarını ve girişimlerini açıklamaktadır.

Türkiye’nin önemli elma üretim bölgelerinden biri de Isparta’dır. Elma üretim alanlarında sorunlara neden olan hastalık, zararlı ve yabancı otlar elma üretimini önemli derecede sınırlamaktadır. Yabancı otların doğrudan oluşturduğu zarar sınırlı kalmakla birlikte, özellikle erken gelişme döneminde elma bitkileriyle su, besin maddesi ve ışık rekabetine girdikleri için önemlidir. Söz konusu kayıplarının azaltılması için en çok başvurulan teknik herbisit kullanımıdır. Herbisitler, aynı alanda rotasyon yapılmadan uzun süre kullanıldığında dayanıklı yabancı ot popülasyonları görülebilir. Herbisite dayanıklı popülasyonların görülmesinden sonra uygulanacak dayanıklılık yönetimi daha uzun ve kapsamlı çalışmaları kapsar. Bu çalışma, Isparta elma üretim alanlarında glyphosate’a dayanıklı pire otu (Conyzacanadensis) popülasyonlarının belirlenmesi için 2015-2019 yıllarında yürütülmüştür. Dayanıklılığın tespitinde bioassay yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Tarama testi kapsamında iklim odası koşullarında yetiştirilen pire otu bitkilerine Glyphosate’ın tavsiye edilen dozu uygulanmış ve bitkilerin Glyphosate’a dayanıklılık durumları belirlenmiştir. Tarama testi sonunda dayanıklılık şüphesi taşıyan 2 Pire otu popülasyonu ile hassas popülasyon doz-tepki denemesine alınmıştır. Doz-tepki denemelerinde Pire otu popülasyonlarına Glyphosate’ın logaritmik dozları uygulanmış ve etki non-linear regresyon analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Glyphosate’a dayanıklılık şüphesi taşıyan popülasyonların I50 değerlerinin F1 popülasyonlarında96.087 ve 83.126mlticari doz/da, F2 popülasyonlarında ise106.48 ve 98.82ml ticari doz/da bulunmuştur. Dayanıklılık şüphesi taşıyan şifa otu popülasyonlarının Glyohosate’a toleranslarının yüksek olduğu değerlendirilmektedir.
Conducción política de la defensa en Argentina: jerarquización del sector y activismo multilateral como criterios rectores de la primera mitad del gobierno de A. Fernández
Authors: Calderón Emilse
Published: June 2022

Los desafíos que Argentina tiene de cara al escenario de seguridad internacional del siglo XXI son de una envergadura considerable dada la necesidad de saneamiento del Sistema de Defensa Nacional. Si bien la transición a la democracia favoreció un proceso de construcción de la supremacía civil sobre las Fuerzas Armadas, difícilmente se pueda afirmar lo mismo con respecto a la conducción política de la Defensa en términos de recomposición del sector y de una inserción externa autónoma. En este contexto es importante examinar la gestión que realizan los gobiernos nacionales de la Defensa, por lo cual este artículo, abocado a la revisión del período diciembre de 2019-2021, sustenta la idea de que durante los dos primeros años del gobierno del Frente de Todos, los criterios rectores fueron la re-jerarquización del sector y el despliegue de un activismo multilateral. La investigación se realiza a través de una metodología cualitativa anclada en una amplia recolección empírica realizada a partir del relevamiento de fuentes primarias de información, corroboradas por la revisión de fuentes secundarias.
Técnica y política en la sismoconstrucción en Mendoza en la década del ’20. La acción del Estado en los casos de Costa de Araujo y Villa Atuel.
Authors: Luis Natalia , Esteves Matías
Published: June 2022

Se analizan los avances técnicos y políticos referidos a la reglamentación de la construcción sismorresistente en la provincia de Mendoza (Argentina) y su impacto en las soluciones de habitación popular en zonas rurales luego de sismos de gran magnitud ocurridos en la década de 1920. Estos sismos derribaron prácticamente la totalidad de la edilicia de los poblados afectados que estaban materializados principalmente con tierra cruda, requiriendo la intervención del Estado en las tareas de reconstrucción. Para ello, se examinaron diversos documentos históricos: Anuarios estadísticos, Memoria de la Dirección de Obras Públicas, documentos legislativos y prensa. Los resultados muestran que a pesar de que las reglamentaciones y los materiales sismorresistentes ocuparon cada vez más protagonismo en esta época, las acciones de reconstrucción post terremoto en zonas rurales no siempre tuvieron consecuencias directas. No obstante, sentaron precedentes importantes para la erradicación paulatina del adobe como principal material constructivo hasta el momento a escala provincial. El reemplazo del uso de materiales naturales en la construcción por otros sismorresistentes fue complejo debido a los costos y tiempos constructivos que esto implicaba, sumado a la arraigada tradición constructiva de la población en tierra cruda.
CREDIT GROWTH OF VIETNAMESE COMMERCIAL BANKS IN THE CASE OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Pham Quynh Xuan
Published: June 2022

This study evaluates credit growth and analyzes factors affecting credit growth of Vietnamese commercial banks in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study uses financial statement data from 25 Vietnamese commercial banks during the period from the 1st quarter  of 2018 to the 3rd quarter of 2021. The credit growth of the banks fluctuated and tended to decrease during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially from the beginning of 2021 to present when Vietnam faced significant outbreaks. The results from applying random effects model show that the Covid-19 pandemic had a negative impact on credit growth. In addition, financial capabilityalso negatively affected credit growth. In contrast, an increase of capital mobilization ability, profit rate, and profit margin led to the growth of credit.
REASERCH ON DETERMINATION FOR THE LIMITED COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH AND BENDING MOMENT OF THE STEEL COLUMN BASE USING EFFECTIVE AREA PANDEMIC
Authors: Bui Hao Phuoc
Published: June 2022

In the design of steel column base, parameters of limited compressive strength NRd and limited bending moment MRd are the control conditions that need to be paid due attention, otherwise it will damage the concrete foundation block at the foot of the column. The objective of the article is to use the effective area method in Eurocode 3 standard to determine NRd and MRd of the steel column base, then perform numericalcalculations to check the calculation results. The results show that the NRd and MRd of the steel column base tends to increase when increasing the thickness of the base plate and the grade of the concrete foundation block. Then, corresponding to each thickness of the base plate (from t=18 mm to t=36 mm) and each concrete grade (from C16/20 to C50/60) will give corresponding results for each NRd and MRd. However, it is important to note that the compressive capacity and bending moment of the column base will be limited, can not increase forever, for example, can not overcome the compressive strength Npl;Rd = 1596 kN and the limit bending  strength Mpl;Rd=131.3 kN.m of the concrete foundation block at the base of the column. The article recommends using the results of this study to choose the thickness of the base plate and the grade of theconcrete foundation block in the most effective, accurate and economical way.
China, as the Sovereign Creditor of Emerging Markets and Developing Economies
Authors: Póra András , Széplaki Valéria
Published: June 2022

The study’s three main questions are: 1. What trends can be observed in Chinese sovereign lending? 2. How does the contractual setup differ from the Western one? 3. What proposals have been made to mitigate the related risks, and which ones seem feasible? The research relied on recently established databases and regulatory materials. China is the world’s largest sovereign creditor at the moment. Its credit expansion began as early as 2008, well before the official announcement of the intention. Several conditions in its contracts differ from those of the West, which pose a risk relevant to an international debt settlement. Their purpose is twofold: to make a profit secured by strong collaterals and, if necessary, “soft power” influence. On the other hand, China does not use “debt-trap diplomacy”. Any global reform in sovereign debt management needs the involvement of China, but in the longer term, Chinese lending conditions should also ease.
