COVID-19 and Consumer Financial Vulnerability
Authors: Van Ophem Johan 
Published: December 2020

Aim: This paper provides an overview of the impact of COVID-19 on consumer (household) financial vulnerability in the Netherlands in the context of socio-economic developments for households in the period 2008-2016.

Design/ research methods: After a discussion of the socio-economic developments for household in the period 2008-2016, financial vulnerability analytics is used to discuss the implications of the published results of two surveys on the impact of COVID-19 on the financial situation of households in the Netherlands (AFM/CPB, NIBUD).

Findings: It appears that problems are to be expected in households with uncertain incomes (e.g., flex workers and self-employed), in households with inflexible budgets (with fixed and necessary expenses higher than disposable income), in households that are fragile because of lack of buffers, and in households with a low income for a longer period of time. Some households such as the ones of singles and the young are less able to cope with the financial risks than others. There are lifecycle effects to be noted: the young will have difficulty in finding and keeping jobs, and therefore in making ends meet.

Value of research: The analytics and results are of interest and relevant for cross-cultural research in other Western Countries.

Published: December 2020

The national agricultural potential is driven by its current state and agricultural structure development. To date, Ukraine is a leader among the major suppliers of agri-food products to the European Union. However, domestic agriculture sector is still facing a critical need for effective reforms, including its organizational structure, where the key element is the creation of transparent procurement and distribution infrastructure through implementation of the cooperatives paradigm and their further integration with trade as well as processing and food industry enterprises. So far globally, the idea of cooperation has long been translated in a clear economic and legal framework which effectively operates as association of small and medium-sized producers through the creation of individual affluent agricultural business entities – the cooperatives. The United States of America demonstrates best practices in their successful creation and functioning. Given the particularly strong large scale international partnership relations between Ukraine and the US in a number of economic and social areas, including assistance in boosting cooperative movement, an emphasis is put towards the need to provide insights and suggest a rationale for further development of cooperatives in Ukraine along with enhancing the process management effectiveness based on successful good practice and advancements in the US agribusiness that underpinned the research agenda of this article. The research findings have revealed that the cooperation of the Ukrainian agriculture enterprises leaves much room for improvement. The number of newly created cooperatives demonstrates slow dynamics; the legislative framework lacks consistency and is inadequate to address the burning issues. The study has identified the key barriers that hamper further development of domestic agricultural cooperation along with discussing the benefits, best practices of implementation, types and specific features of the cooperative form of doing business in the USA. Major challenges in the domestic agricultural cooperation development at macro- and microlevels have been observed and evaluated together with suggesting actions to tackle them. In particular, pathways to enhance the performance of agricultural cooperatives through the transition to more effective process management are proposed.

It is argued that sustainable enterprise development implies a high degree of security assurance. Conventionally, economic security management is a core subsystem in the overall enterprise management framework. However, in a dynamic environment, such a system needs to be improved and updated to meet the current realia. Thus, the relevance to shape the determinants of enterprise economic security management arises from the awareness that the system needs to be improved. From this perspective, motivational management can become a driver in ensuring economic security. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive research on the key determinants that affect motivational management issues of enterprise economic security in the context of sustainable development. The research has employed the following scientific methods: analysis and generalization of theoretical approaches to interpreting the content of ‘enterprise economic security’ and ‘economic security management’ concepts; a graphical method to present the economic phenomena development factors as well as grouping and identifying the key determinants of motivational management in ensuring enterprise economic security. The study discusses the basic approaches to understanding the nature of enterprise economic security and building the economic security management framework. The findings reveal the principles, rationale and factors behind the paradigm of enterprise economic security motivational management along with presenting the fundamental determinants of business development in the context of motivational management of enterprise economic security. The in-depth analysis of the internal and external environment, underlying causes and factors as determinants of motivational management of economic security bears evidence of their interrelationship. As implications for further research, implementation of selected determinants will contribute to providing insights into basic enterprise economic security management processes.
Experimental constraints on volcanic ash generation and clast morphometrics in pyroclastic density currents and granular flows
Authors: Hornby Adrian , Kueppers Ulrich , Maurer Benedikt , Poetsch Carina , Dingwell Donald 
Published: December 2020

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are a prominent hazard of volcanic activity; however, fully quantitative observations are lacking and little direct evidence exists to constrain the parameters controlling ash production and runout. Here, we use rotary tumbling experiments to investigate ash generation efficiency and clast morphometrics in the dense basal flow of PDCs. We observe greater ash generation with periodic ash removal and with higher starting mass. By scaling to the bed height and clast diameter we obtain a general description for ash production in all experiments as a function of flow distance that we parameterise in dimensionless space. We also show that ash production correlates with clast shape changes and with the Inertial number for our experiments. This work introduces some of the first systematic and generalizable experimental parameterizations of ash production and clast evolution in PDCs and should advance the ability to understand flow mobility and associated hazards.

Song «Fly, Fly, Cuckoo» as a Phenomenon of Musical and Poetic Work of the Chuvash People
Authors: Agakova Alisa Leonidovna 
Published: December 2020

The article examines the semantic and axiological foundations of «Fly, fly, cuckoo» – the most popular work of Chuvash song folklore. The purpose of the work is to establish the history of the song from the moment of the first recording and analyze its professional processing. The author practices a short generalized description of the most characteristic features of each artistic treatment. This approach allows to clearly feel the individual handwriting of each composer. The research results are based on comparison and generalization methods. The melody of this song inspired the Chuvash and Russian composers to create works of different genres: vocal, choral, instrumental. It is unique in terms of the number of adaptations: there are more than 30 of them – so often composers did not pay attention to any Chuvash song. The article discusses the most vivid and characteristic examples of processing the melody of a song. The author analyzes the works of S. M. Maksimov, A. G. Orlov-Shuzm, G. Khirbyu, A. Petrov, G. Anchikov, V. Bely and others. The inclusion in the educational process of such examples of folk art as the song «Fly, fly, cuckoo», and works created on this topic, contributes to an increase in the level of musical culture, the formation of respect for indigenous peoples and their traditions.
Comparación de la actividad exportadora entre empresas familiares y no familiares de la región Zuliana en Venezuela
Authors: Romero Jenny , Hernández Lissette , Bracho Neida 
Published: December 2020

Â El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el comportamiento de las empresas familiares y no fa miliares exportadoras en su gestión en el mercado internacional. Con este propósito se realizó una investigación de campo en veintidós empresas ubicadas en la región zuliana en Venezuela. El resultado de esta comparación sitúa en desventaja a los negocios de familia frente al desempeño de los no familiares, pues el estudio confirmó una serie de debilidades relacionadas con la falta de recursos y capacidades en ambos grupos de firmas, pero que tienden a acentuarse más en las organizaciones de carácter familiar. Lo anterior permite concluir que en el área del comercio internacional es probable que las empresas de carácter familiar zulianas encuentren mayores dificultades para promover su expansión, sobre todo por la influencia que ejercen algunas características psicológicas y culturales del empresario familiar que hace que éste se conduzca de manera más conservadora y lenta en el proceso exportador.

Published: December 2020

La presente investigación se desarrolla con el objetivo de analizar los efectos que una adecuada planificación de la formación en ventas es capaz de ejercer en tres ámbitos: (i) el rendimiento percibido de los vendedores porÂ parte de sus jefes de ventas; (ii) el desempeño percibido deÂ los vendedores por parte de sus jefes de ventas y (iii) la capacidad de liderazgo desarrollada por el jefe de ventas entre sus vendedores. Adicionalmente, se trata de medir el impacto que mejoras en el desempeño del vendedor y en el liderazgo del jefe de ventas, ejercen a su vez sobre el rendimiento de los vendedores. Para el desarrollo de la investigación se contó con las valoraciones efectuadas por 50 jefes de venta en México de sus correspondientes vendedores, contrastándose todas las relaciones planteadas mediante la metodología de Partial Least Square (PLS). Los resultados muestran que si mejora la planificación de la formación, mejoran también el rendimiento de los venderos, su desempeño y la capacidad del liderazgo del jefe de ventas. A su vez, estos resultados están relacionados significativamente entre sí. Todo ello permite concluir la importancia de que los jefes de ventas planifiquen la formación de sus vendedores.Â

Published: December 2020

El botellón, o ingesta masiva de bebidas alcohólicas en zonas públicas, y el consumo de cannabis constituyen importantes problemas asociados al ocio juvenil español, siendo de gran interés estudiar el perfil de estos consumidores. Este artículo se deriva de una investigación no experimental - de campo, de carácter transversal, con un tipo de estudio descriptivo; y como instrumento de recolección de información se aplicó un cuestionario estructurado. La población objeto de estudio está constituida por jóvenes españoles, de 18 a 30 años de edad. La muestra, de 403 individuos, se dividió en tres grupos, para analizar las diferencias de valores y creencias ante el consumo de dichas sustancias entre los jóvenes que practican botellón y consumen cannabis, los que solo practican botellón y los que no consumen ninguna de estas dos sustancias; así como la práctica de actividades de ocio, en función del grupo de pertenencia. Los resultados describen a los jóvenes que muestran policonsumo de alcohol y cannabis en varones de clase social media-alta, que dan gran importancia al hedonismo y con la creencia de que la práctica del botellón y el consumo de cannabis no son Â perjudiciales. Se concluye que esta información es básica para diseñar programas eficaces de prevención del Â consumo de drogas, utilizando plataformas adecuadas (por ejemplo, videojuegos) para transmitir creencias más acertadas respecto a las consecuencias reales derivadas de su consumo.Â

Published: December 2020

Esta investigación analiza cuantitativamente la estructura de la red de colaboraciones del Centro Interdisciplinario en Ciencias Marinas (CICIMAR) del Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN), institución tecnológica más grande de México, dada la relevancia de las redes para la colaboración y generación de conocimiento en la búsqueda de soluciones a problemas del medio ambiente. Para el análisis se utilizó la Teoría de Grafos, considerándose las coautorías entre los investigadores en la producción científica de artículos, libros, capítulos de libros y dirección de tesis del periodo 2009-2011, y tres atributos de centralidad: coeficiente de agrupamiento, intermediación y grado, los cuales, en el contexto de redes de conocimiento, se interpretan como: cohesión, comunicación y liderazgo productivo. Los resultados muestran índices bajosÂ de cohesión, lo cual implica poco trabajo en red; existencia de algunos grupos al interior del centro, pero sin relación entre ellos; presencia de líderes de los grupos, nueve investigadores influyentes que coinciden con los niveles altos en el Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI), pero no promueven el trabajo colaborativo. Â Se concluye que el problema de esta estructura es que el IPN privilegia la asignación de presupuesto a los Â investigadores con niveles altos de SNI, dejando al resto con pocos recursos para realizar sus investigaciones.Â
