Purpose. The purpose of the paper is to study the state, perspective directions of Ukrainian exports of agricultural products and the introduction of effective forecasting using the method of mathematical modeling of a continuous system of aperiodic components. Methodology / approach. In the process of research, the fundamental provisions of modern economic science were used in relation to the groups of factors influencing the resulting indicators of export, foreign trade trends, methods of statistical analysis to assess the weight of factors influencing the resulting function, as well as modern mathematical methods for forecasting of agrarian exports were implemented. Results. The application of the developed mathematical model and the algorithm based on it, allowed to study the situation with the export of Ukrainian agricultural products to the EU, to identify trends specific to individual countries and the EU market as a whole, to assess the opportunities and prospects of niche markets, expansion nomenclature of export goods. Prognoses were given both on the export prospects of individual goods, product groups, and on the volume of deliveries to the EU. The use of factor analysis for forecasting of export deliveries allowed us to assess the impact of each of the factors and limit their amount. Originality / scientific novelty. For the first time, the method of mathematical modeling of a continuous system based on changes in its aperiodic components was used for efficient and relevant forecasting of agrarian export volumes. Even the stages of application of this method, in particular, the analysis and prognoses for individual items of the nomenclature of export goods, for individual countries – importers make it possible to represent the situation with agrarian exports more accurately and forecast future supplies. Practical value / importance. The proposed mathematical approach for market analysis and forecasting of markets can be used by both market regulators and producers and exporters of agricultural products. These polynomial equations for analysis and prognostication for individual product groups can be directly used in practice.

Мета. Метою статті є ідентифікація та аналіз негативних тенденцій, обґрунтування практичних рекомендацій щодо удосконалення регіональної політики забезпечення збереження людського ресурсу засобами регулювання зовнішньої міграції молоді сільських територій Карпатського регіону України.
Методологія / методика / підхід. Методологічною основою дослідження стали загальнонаукові (графічний, структурний аналіз) та спеціальні (соціологічний, інтегральне оцінювання, кореляційний аналіз) методи наукового пізнання. Соціологічне дослідження проведено ДУ “Інститут регіональних досліджень імені М. І. Долішнього НАН України”) у вересні-жовтні 2019 р. Об’єкт дослідження – студенти випускних курсів закладів вищої освіти, закладів загальної професійно-технічної освіти та учні випускних класів закладів загальної середньої освіти Карпатського регіону (1200 осіб). Авторський підхід до побудови інтегрального індексу середовища міграційної активності населення передбачав реалізацію алгоритму, базисом якого виступало нормування показників (стимуляторів і дестимуляторів), визначення ваг показників і груп показників за допомогою побудови матриці кореляційних порівнянь, розрахунок багатовимірних величин у формі зважених групових індексів.
Результати. У статті із застосуванням соціологічного дослідження виявлено характеристики зовнішньої міграційної активності молоді сільських територій Карпатського регіону України. Зроблено висновки щодо проблемних аспектів міграції молоді та її впливу на розвиток сільських територій. Розраховано інтегральні індекси “виштовхування” населення України та Львівської області, що дозволило констатувати вищий рівень «агресивності» середовища для міграції населення в Карпатському регіоні в порівнянні із середнім у країні. Обґрунтовано рекомендації щодо інструментів регулювання міграції молоді на сільських територіях для збереження людського потенціалу їхнього розвитку.
Оригінальність / наукова новизна. Розроблено нову методику розрахунку інтегрального індекса середовища міграційної активності населення (за п’ятьма групами показників: демографічна стабільність і стан здоров’я населення; охоплення населення освітніми послугами; стан ринку праці та зайнятості; рівень життя населення; економічний розвиток країни), а також удосконалено підхід до оцінки взаємозв’язку середовища “виштовхування” та міграційної активності населення.
Практична цінність / значущість. Обґрунтовано інструменти регіональної політики забезпечення збереження людського ресурсу засобами регулювання зовнішньої міграції молоді сільських територій (за групами: організаційні, економічні, інституційні) для їх впровадження регіональними органами влади.

Abstract. We present ship-borne measurements of NOx (≡ NO + NO2) and NOy (≡ NOx + gas- and particle-phase organic and inorganic oxides of nitrogen) in summer 2017 as part of the expedition Air Quality and climate change in the Arabian Basin (AQABA). The NOx and NOz (≡ NOy–NOx) measurements, made with a thermal dissociation cavity-ringdown-spectrometer (TD-CRDS), were used to examine the chemical mechanisms involved in the processing of primary NOx emissions and their influence on the NOy budget in chemically distinct marine environments, including the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and the Arabian Gulf which were influenced to varying extents by emissions from shipping and oil and gas production. In all regions, we find that NOx is strongly connected to ship emissions, both via direct emission of NO and via the formation of HONO and its subsequent photolytic conversion to NO. Mean NO2 lifetimes were 3.9 hours in the Mediterranean Sea, 4.0 hours in the Arabian Gulf and 5.0 hours in the Red Sea area. The cumulative loss of NO2 during the night (reaction with O3) was more important than daytime losses (reaction with OH) over the Arabian Gulf (by a factor 2.8) and over the Red Sea (factor 2.9), whereas over the Mediterranean Sea, where OH levels were high, daytime losses dominated (factor 2.5). Regional ozone production efficiencies (OPE) ranged from 10.5 ± 0.9 to 19.1 ± 1.1. This metric quantifies the relative strength of photochemical O3 production from NOx, compared to the competing sequestering into NOz species. The largest values were found over the Arabian Gulf, consistent with high levels of O3 found in that region (10–90 percentiles range: 23–108 ppbv). The fractional contribution of individual NOz species to NOy exhibited a large regional variability, with HNO3 generally the dominant component (on average 33 % of NOy) with significant contributions from organic nitrates (11 %) and particulate nitrates in the PM1 size range (8 %).

O DOCENTE DA EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR BRASILEIRA: CONTEXTO DE ATUAÇÃO E FORMAÇÃO
Authors: Aguiar Leticia Carneiro , Teixeira Tatiani Fernandes
Published: January 2021

O artigo trata do perfil dos professores da educação superior no Brasil, nos quesitos atuação e a formação. Nas décadas de 2000 ocorre uma expansão significativa da educação superior, com um incremento da quantidade instituições e cursos, mas a quantidade de docentes não seguiu o mesmo ritmo de crescimento, produzindo uma sobrecarga de atividades aos professores. Prevaleceu um aumento desigual do número de matrículas em relação ao número de professores. As condições de trabalho tornaram-se mais precarizadas e, com o avanço das políticas neoliberais de responsabilização individual dos sujeitos, ocorreu uma retração de políticas de formação docente, sendo a mesma diluída em diferentes espaços formativos.

Neste artigo, parte-se do reconhecimento da centralidade que as avaliações externas em larga escala da aprendizagem assumiram nas políticas educacionais nas últimas décadas e problematiza-se a relação com a denominação genérica de avaliação externa, indicando que em alguns casos essa expressão sequer significa avaliação e, em outros, não se trata de avaliar aprendizagem. Depois, são apontadas limitações em relação ao modelo vigente, sobretudo no que tange ao envolvimento de professores e elementos que poderiam compor um modelo de avaliação externa da aprendizagem associado à formação dos professores em avaliação educacional, destacando as teorias em torno da validade e da avaliação democrática. Finalizando são apresentados relatos de uma experiência em Moçambique similar ao modelo alternativo proposto, com a valorização da conceituação, das condições e das características que uma avaliação da aprendizagem, externa ou interna, deve possuir para se colocar como ponto de apoio para o sucesso de todos os alunos.

O surgimento da pandemia provocada pela COVID-19 trouxe à realidade uma face de incertezas, medos, reflexões. Diante desse cenário assustador, a sociedade precisou se (re)iventar e passamos a viver o “novo normal”. O atual conceito de normalidade alterou o campo social e o educacional, trazendo o ensino remoto para a realidade da educação brasileira. O ensino remoto, diferentemente da Educação a Distância, pode contribuir para o aumento das desigualdades sociais, uma vez que não considera questões básicas de acessibilidade. Neste estudo, buscamos discutir o contexto diverso e vulnerável dos licenciandos do curso de Licenciatura em Química de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior da Bahia, para atendimento em um curso de extensão on line. Para tanto, enviamos questionários aos estudantes, com o objetivo de investigar condições de acesso remoto às Tecnologias Digitais. Os dados levantados revelaram que parte dos estudantes possuem dificuldades de acesso a distância aos recursos digitais.

The objective of this work was to analyze price aggregation and disaggregation in commercialized animals searching for "Programa Carne Angus" benefits in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data from 40,698 carcasses with Angus cattle racial pattern, slaughtered in a meat industry that performs the "Programa Carne Angus "certification, during the 2014 year were analyzed. The aggregated value was calculated by the difference between the negotiated base price for the lot and the final price obtained by animal after the certification process. The disaggregation was calculated based on the factors preventing the animals from being included in the certification program. The results show that the major disqualifying factor in males with the racial pattern was carcass fatness, and for females was the dentition, which disqualified 34.3 and 12.7% respectively. Value breakdown from 7,177 disqualified animals due to lack of finishing, or advanced dentition, reached R$ 1,213,528.00, or US$ 369,077.86 (US$ 51.43 per head), an amount that is no paid on from the industry to rural producers.Keywords: Aberdeen Angus, beef cattle dentition, beef cattle meat chain, fatness carcass, quality meat.
Dos DOS SENTIDOS DE POÉTICA/O. O ESTADO POÉTICO
Authors: Araujo Miguel Almir Lima
Published: January 2021

O texto apresenta a/o Poética/o como estado de dis-posição, de abertura dos sensos perceptivos, da consciência compreensiva, do laço da sensibilidade e da espirituosidade para uma forma de compreensão e de fruição dos fenômenos humanos, do existir e do coexistir humanos a partir do viger da poíesis. Ou seja, dos modos originários e originantes em que jorra o vigor seminal destes fenômenos, do existir, que potencializam o emergir de nossos fazeres e criares. A Poética, visceralmente, implica no despontar do fulcro germinal, impulsiona a insurgência das sendas abertas, do inaugural; a eclosão do extraordinário, o constelar da “eterna novidade do mundo”. O prisma da Poética, ao entrelaçar Pathos e Logos, suscita o despontar dos fluxos do espanto e da admiração, da perplexidade e das inquietações que nos interpelam, movem e insuflam no trilhar as dobras e curvas das travessias, dos laços das encruzilhadas que atravessamos impelidos pelas intensidades dos desafios de nosso ser sendo no mundo com os outros. Potencializa a abertura do corpo e do espírito, do corpoespírito – do “logos poético” – para o insurgente, o imprevisível e o surpreendente; para o pluriverso dos Sentidos humanos. Dispõe-nos para as proezas agridoces da tragicomicidade do existir. Desse modo, nos adentra nos meandros dos paradoxos e imponderáveis da complexidade humana, nos flancos de suas ambiguidades e incertezas, contradições e tortuosidades. O trançado da Poética, do estado poético, insufla a ruptura do anestésico que comprime e homogeneíza, e fomenta a plasticidade do estésico caracterizada pela expressão do jogo sincopado, da fluidez do movimento, do impulso lúdico, da imaginação criante, dos lampejos da policromia. Nesse rumo, podemos perceber, compreender e fruir os fenômenos, a vida, desde o seu pulsar originário, na movência de seu dinamismo, de suas obliquidades e de sua vivacidade com todos os sentidos juntos, interligados. Assim, estabelecemos com o mundo, com o viver contingente, uma relação pregnante/orgânica e anímica/simbólica em que penetramos na cromaticidade das intensidades e das extensidades dos núcleos das experiências, dos laços que nos entrelaçam uns com os outros movidos por nosso ser sensível e espirituoso.

The Inevitable Eckhart: The Critical Reception of Eckhartian Motives in the Work of Jan van Leeuwen
Authors: Van Damme Yves
Published: January 2021

The influence of Meister Eckhart on European mystical culture is heavily debated. In recent scholarship there seems to be a growing resistance to recognize too easily Eckhart's mark on medieval mystical traditions outside Germany. This article will show how language and motives commonly associated with the work of Eckhart and his followers did leave its traces in Brabant mysticism, and especially in the work of the Groenendaal author Jan van Leeuwen, pupil of the famous Jan van Ruusbroec. Its findings suggest that controversial topics, e.g., the relation between the created and uncreated parts of the soul, the necessity of grace for salvation and the value of good works, were also for Brabant mysticism pivotal conundrums.
Factores protectores y de riesgos en conductas alimentarias de madres e hijos
Authors: Godoy berthet Carolina Andrea
Published: January 2021

Con el objetivo de explorar en factores protectores y de riesgos asociados a conductas alimentarias se contactaron 18 familias de distinta estructura socioeconómica y familiar con hijos entre 10 a 17 años de edad. Participaron 18 madres con edades entre 31 a 53 años y un promedio de dos hijos. Respecto de los adolescentes, se seleccionó uno por cada madre, de los cuáles 10 fueron mujeres y 8 varones, la edad promedio de los hijos fue de 14 años. A ambos se les aplicó una entrevista semiestructurada que abordó tópicos sobre socialización y prácticas alimentarias promovidas en el hogar. Las entrevistas fueron analizadas con el software atlas ti, siguiendo las recomendaciones de la teoría fundamentada. El análisis a las diadas de madres e hijos señala, que si bien, existen condiciones positivas en las familias que dan cuenta de rutinas de alimentación definidas, utilización de un enfoque de conversación y estrategias de vigilancia corporal, también deja en evidencia las barreras presentes en la socialización alimentaria. La utilización de estrategias parentales estructuradas, la alimentación permisiva, la falta de accesibilidad para comprar alimentos saludables y los comentarios maternos sobre el cuerpo, constituyen factores que actuarían como promotores de riesgos para una alimentación saludable

Published: January 2021

Hasta la fecha se han realizado escasas investigaciones en España y Latinoamérica que aborden el ajuste psicológico de los prematuros. El presente trabajo examina el ajuste psicológico infantil y algunos factores relevantes para el mismo, en una muestra de niños prematuros españoles. Participantes: 29 menores (Media de edad=36.2 meses, DT=1.42)con antecedentes de prematuridad. El 51.7% fueron niñas. Instrumentos: Se utilizó una encuesta sociodemográfica, el Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) y la Escala de estrés parental (PSS). Resultados: Entre el 71.4 y el 82.1% de los menores obtuvieron puntuaciones consideradas normales en el SDQ, en el 50% de ellos, sus progenitores indicaron la existencia de algún impacto negativo. No se encuentran relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre las escalas del SDQ y las variables neonatales. Ser español, tener estudios superiores y encontrarse en activo se relacionó con un mejor ajuste psicológico infantil. El estrés parental se relacionó con un peor ajuste. Conclusiones: El estudio de las fortalezas y del ajuste psicológico de padres e hijos en prematuridad es de especial importancia para poder conocer, prevenir e intervenir sobre el bienestar de esta población.

Some Insights Into Financial Literacy Among Undergraduate Students: A Case of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Okicic Jasmina , Kokorovic Jukan Meldina , Heric Mensur
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this research is to provide some insights into financial literacy among undergraduate students focusing primarily on the relationship between financial knowledge, financial attitudes and financial behavior and on possible gender and financial education gap in financial literacy. Using the purposive sampling technique, data collection was carried out from April to June 2020, yielding a sample of 1,046 valid responses. To gain a better understanding of the relationship between financial behaviour, financial attitudes and financial knowledge, we, primarily, use exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression model. The research findings have revealed several important issues. First, findings have suggested that financial knowledge, financial attitudes and gender may be considered as an antecedent of the financial behaviour of undergraduate students. Second, findings have also suggested a statistically - significant difference between the financial literacy of undergraduate students concerning their exposure to formal financial education.

Published: January 2021

The study objectively reports the findings on a questionnaire survey when examining the factors affecting Malaysian Private Entity Reporting Standard (MPERS) compliance in Malaysia by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The study is based on a professional accountant questionnaire survey involving a sample of 176 respondents who are currently involved in the implementation of MPERS. The result reveals that the main factors affecting the SMEs' compliance with MPERS were the legal limitations and requirements. The study also finds that the perception, size of entities, management and accounting skills of the external user, and consideration of costs and benefits, have little impact on MPERS compliance. Furthermore, the study contributes to the literature of the financial reporting standard for SMEs by providing empirical from Malaysia's local context that uses MPERS and how the theses affect reporting practices. To adopt the 'true and fair view' financial reporting standard when explaining the firm's financial performance and financial position, this study should be the interest of regulatory authority, standard setters, and owners of SMEs themselves.

Copper mining activities have a huge importance for both the Peruvian economy and the world. Then, it is important to analyze how mining companies face productivity to stay afloat in the competitive world market. For this reason, Peruvian mining companies were analyzed in the 2016-2019 period by employing the Malmquist index as well as its decomposition. Two-year, three-year, and four-year intervals were used for a better understanding of the results. It was found that the major determinants for productivity change was technical efficiency change and technological switch.
The Effects of Mood, Language, and Order of Songs on Writing Productivity
Authors: Hu Ke Nicole
Published: January 2021

With music consumption being increasingly prominent in everyday modern life, it has become critical to examine the impact of music on the performance of cognitive tasks. Despite preexisting academic literature on the correlation between music and memorization, test-taking ability, and executive planning, conclusions from past studies regarding these cognitive tasks may not be directly applicable to writing, leaving the effects of music on writing tasks a relatively unexplored territory. Given the prevalence of music in the 21st century among all age groups, the current study explores the effects of induced mood (happy versus sad) and language (native versus foreign) of popular songs on writing productivity, measured by number of words written in a set time period. Participants in the experiment were randomly separated into four conditions based on the language and mood of songs, and each given two argumentative writing prompts to complete while listening to the songs assigned to them. Results revealed that the induced mood of the songs significantly affected the writing productivity, with participants listening to sad music producing word counts that are significantly higher than those given happy songs. No effects, however, were found for the language of the music’s lyrical content, suggesting that the language of a song has no significant impact on writing productivity.

Characteristic of the wear of a tool coating based on amorphous carbon during chipboard milling. The study verified the durability and the course of wear during the durability tests of the TiAlN / a-C:N double tool coating. The aforementioned coating consisted of a bottom layer of TiAlN and a top layer based on nitrogenenriched amorphous carbon. Standard replaceable cutters for milling heads made of WC-Co sintered carbide were subjected to the modification process. The coating was applied using plasma by RF Magnetron Sputtering. During the tests, the blade wear was measured using a workshop microscope. The VB max indicator measured on the clearance face was adopted as the blunting criterion and its maximum value was set on 0,2 mm. The results show that the additional coating of amorphous carbon contributed to the increase of the tool durability determined with cutting distance. The use of only a single layer based on TiAlN shortened the durability by about 3%. On the other hand, applying both the bottom and top layers
TiAlN /a-C:N) extended the cutting distance by about 24%. The research showed a clear advantage in terms of the durability of the blades modified with a multi-layer coating in relation to a single-layer. Moreover, the positive effect of the top layer containing amorphous carbon on tool durability has been demonstrated.

Analysis of sliding friction of WC-Co composite on particleboard. The paper presents the analysis of the coefficient of friction at the contact area between WC-Co composite and particleboard. The four types of WC-Co composite in the form of milling indexable knives for wood materials machining were tested. The tests were carried out on a linear reciprocating tribotester (pin-on-flat), where the sample was the clearance surface of WC-Co indexable knives and the counter-sample was made of three-layer particleboard. Before and after tribological tests, the surface roughness of tested knives was measured. The highest values of friction coefficient were obtained for the type UMG04 of cemented carbide - with nano size of WC grains and the lowest content of cobalt. The average coefficient of friction for selected types of WC-Co correlated with the average increase in surface roughness (the roughness parameter Ry).

Published: January 2021

The article introduces a short outline of the concept of a scientific approach to the subject of search and rescue. Next, the model presents the mapping of selected assets with an indication of the assets essential for the rescue operation's configuration critical to the system. The crucial elements of the rescue operation that must be included in the model are: determining the location of the sought entity, environmental conditions during the rescue operation, survival conditions at the crash site, available assets (e.g. helicopters, described in the system model), the structure of the necessary commands to manage a rescue operation.
Das neue Bundeswahlgesetz der Großen Koalition von 2020. Eine Risikoanalyse
Authors: Behnke Joachim
Published: January 2021

For the first time, in 2013 the electoral law introduced adjustment seats to compensate for surplus seats at the federal level . For the last two elections, this led to a considerable increase of the Bundestag’s size . The reform debate to shrink the Bundestag back to its original size of 598 seats that began in 2013, came to a preliminary end when in October 2020 the new electoral law was passed by the Grand Coalition . The law includes three mechanisms to contain the Bundestag’s size: First, half of the list mandates of the party that has surplus seats can be used for the compensation of surplus seats . Second, up to three surplus seats can be left untouched by adjustment seats . Third, the number of constituencies is reduced from 299 to 280 . Simulations demonstrate that these mechanisms most likely will not be sufficient to prevent a considerable augmentation of the Bundestag . Furthermore, the new law includes elements which could prove to be unconstitutional .
Rangplatzorientierte personalisierte Verhältniswahl ohne (oder nahezu ohne) „verwaiste Wahlkreise“

The reform of the electoral law in 2013 introduced adjustment seats that compensate for surplus mandates, resulting in the Bundestag increasing in size . The new electoral law passed by the Grand Coalition in October 2020 will not provide an effective cure to this problem . The “usual suspects” that have been proposed as possible remedies, especially reducing the number of constituencies, but also accounting for list mandates with surplus mandates and capping “excess” direct mandates, all imply problematic effects . Against this background, forms of rank‑oriented personalized proportional electoral systems, which adhere to the logic of Baden‑Wuerttemberg’s state electoral system, seem to be promising reform perspectives . They preserve the element of the personal vote and could even strengthen this . Not only can they guarantee that the Bundestag will not exceed its regular size, but they also secure proportionality between the parties at the federal level as well as proportionality between the several state lists of one party .
Mehrheitswahl mit Verhältnisausgleich statt personalisierter Verhältniswahl. Ein alternativer Reformvorschlag zur Verkleinerung des Bundestags
Authors: Pappi Franz Urban
Published: January 2021

The Federal German Electoral Law allots 299 constituency and 299 party list parliamentary seats or more . The personalized proportional representation (PR) system prescribes party list votes as the dominant principle of seat distribution . In this article a plurality system with additional PR seats is advocated . It would, for instance, fix the number of PR seats to 299 . Here three rules that are actually used in mixed‑member proportional systems are discussed: (1) Total negative vote transfer from candidate to party votes (scorporo totale in Italy), (2) partial negative vote transfer of only candidate votes that assured constituency victory (votes of first loser plus one), (3) applying d’Hondt to party votes for gaining PR seats by adding the number of gained constituency seats to the denominator of the sequential divisions (Scottish Parliament) . Contrafactual seat distributions based on the 2017 election results are computed . The thesis is that voters are guided primarily by their policy preferences when choosing parties and by leadership competence when choosing their local representative and indirectly the future chancellor .
Kontinuität statt Zäsur: Die Entwicklung von Parteien und Parteiensystem in Italien nach den Parlamentswahlen von 2013 und 2018
Authors: Cubbe Giovanni de Ghantuz
Published: January 2021

The two general elections held in Italy in 2013 and 2018 were particularly significant: While the anti‑systemic Five Star Movement and the Lega were hugely successful, established parties such as Forza Italia and Partito Democratico fell behind . Numerous scholars regarded the election results as a signal of a radical turning point in Italian politics . However, such an interpretation seems to undervalue the persistence of a number of traditional features within the Italian political system . Taking into consideration the main systemic characteristics over the last 30 years, it is apparent that the rise of the Five Star Movement and the Lega did not radically modify Italian politics . Both parties are a consequence as well as a catalyst of the political crisis and of the Italian “infinite transition” that began in 1992 .
Bilanzpolitik in kommunalen Unternehmen
Authors: Boll David , Müller Harry , Sidki Marcus
Published: January 2021

Bilanzpolitik beschreibt die Möglichkeit der Geschäftsleitung eines Unternehmens, existierende Informationsvorteile gegenüber ihren Anspruchsgruppen auszunutzen. Sie dient der bewussten und zweckorientierten Einflussnahme innerhalb des gesetzlichen Rahmens auf einen Jahresabschluss in formaler und in inhaltlicher Hinsicht. Empirische Erkenntnisse hierzu liegen vor allem für die Privatwirtschaft vor. Die vorliegende Studie analysiert daher, ob Bilanzpolitik ein Phänomen ist, das ebenfalls in Unternehmen der öffentlichen Hand existiert. Basierend auf Jahresabschlussdaten aller kaufmännisch buchenden kommunalen Unternehmen in Deutschland zwischen 1998 und 2014 werden vier deskriptive Indikatoren sowie ein auf Burgstahler/ Dichev (1997) zurückgehendes statistisches Testverfahren kalkuliert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich Hinweise auf Bilanzpolitik vor allem bei solchen kommunalen Unternehmen finden, die eine privatwirtschaftliche Rechtsform aufweisen oder einem zunehmenden Einfluss von Kreditgebern bzw. privatwirtschaftlichen Anteilseignern unterliegen. Außerdem zeigen sich heterogene Ergebnisse für unterschiedliche Branchen.
Die Zukunft umfassender und gemischter Abkommen der EU nach dem Singapur-Gutachten
Authors: Lorenzmeier Stefan
Published: January 2021

The article explores some legal issues regarding comprehensive trade and mixed agreements of the European Union (EU). The concept of mixed agreements is special to the EU legal order and under strain after the opinion 2/15 of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 16 May 2017, in which the Court defined the exclusive competence of the EU for concluding “EU-only agreements” in the context of the common commercial policy. This led to a split-up of trade agreements of the Union into “EU-only agreements” and mixed agreements on investment issues whereas no change of policy had been established for association agreements to date. Besides creating greater legal certainty, some problems remain regarding the to-be-improved acceptance of EU free trade agreements in the Member States. The analysis focuses on the division of powers between the EU and the Member States and its impact on mixed agreements on a political and legal level. It concludes that “mixity” has not been ended by the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice and can still be seen as a useful tool in the process of negotiating and concluding future comprehensive international trade and association agreements.
Mehr als ein neues Krankheitsbild: Warum die Corona-Krise für die Europäische Union historisch neuartig ist
Authors: Kaelble Hartmut
Published: January 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic poses new challenges for the European Union (EU). It is not a repetition of previous crises of European integration. The expectations, but also the confidence of the EU citizens are higher. Divergences between Member States tend to be greater, social inequalities are more complex and the pressure from outside more hostile. At the same time, the EU has gained more experience with crises over the past decade than before, reacts to the current crisis more quickly as well as more supranationally, and - unlike in earlier crises - so far appears globally not as a “sick man”, but as a crisis solver.

Published: January 2021

Data mining is knowledge discovery process. It has to deal with exact information and inexact information. Statistical methods deal with inexact information but it is based on likelihood. Zadeh fuzzy logic deals with inexact information but it is based on belief and it is simple to use. Fuzzy logic is used to deal with inexact information. Data mining consist methods and classifications. These methods and classifications are discussed for both exact and inexact information. Retrieval of information is important in data mining. The time and space complexity is high in big data. These are to be reduced. The time complexity is reduced through the consecutive retrieval (C-R) property and space complexity is reduced with blackboard systems. Data mining for web data based is discussed. In web data mining, the original data have to be disclosed. Fuzzy web data mining is discussed for security of data. Fuzzy web programming is discussed. Data mining, fuzzy data mining, and web data mining are discussed through MapReduce algorithms.
