Impact of Covid-19 on the Creative Industries in Slovakia: Evaluation and Elimination
Authors: Majduchova Helena , Kmety Bartekova Maria 
Published: December 2021

Research background: The restrictions pose a threat to the creative industries, as some companies and self-employed persons suffer major losses. Many freelancers and micro-enterprises work in the creative industries. They depend more than others on events and markets for earning money. The 33 288 employees that comprise the CIs are therefore hit particularly hard by COVID-19.
Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to measure the Covid-19 impacts on the Creative industries in Slovakia and evaluate the economic compensation suffered from Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic. The compensation payments consist of a certain percentage of the income from the year 2019 and encompass business expenses such as rent and other fixed costs.
Methods: Our calculations on the extent to which the creative industries (CIs) and its sub-markets are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic are based on data from Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic, the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic and the FINSTAT database for the year 2019 and 2020.
Findings & Value added: The effects of the ordered closures and the associated effects in the individual sub-sectors and occupational fields are estimated. For this reason, economic effects are calculated and recorded based on a scenario analysis. In a second step, the international perspective on the COVID-19 pandemic will be considered. Overall, the analysis of the consequences of the pandemic for the creative industries is intended to provide an overview of the possible consequences in the creative industries and, together with the knowledge about the procedures in other countries, to make political action needs more clearly recognisable.
Possibilities of collecting, analysing and visualizing groundswell communication data in a global environment
Authors: Kubovics Michal , Zaušková Anna 
Published: December 2021

Research background: The groundswell is an undoubted threat, but also a potential of companies. It is important for business entities with a global scope to monitor potential customers and consumers when behaving in a digital environment, because there is a possibility of creating a so-called groundswell, which can have global adverse effects on the company's sales and reputation. Only if we continuously monitor and evaluate all aspects, including the activity of the groundswell, can we predict and intervene at the right time.
Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to map the possibilities of data collection, analysis, and visualization, which were created in the digital media environment using the groundswell. The partial goals are in the study of theoretical background and analysis of the possibilities of data collection, research, and evaluation.
Methods: We used the methods of thematic analysis for the theoretical framework of the paper. To explore the possibilities, we used the method of content analysis of individual tools and outputs of digital media, which provide data, analysis, and subsequent visualization. Qualitative analysis of the content of texts allows a basic prerequisite for fulfilling the objectives of the paper. Subsequent content analysis of tools and options enables comprehensive fulfilment of the main goal.
Findings & Value added: The presented paper focuses on specific possibilities of data collection originating from the digital environment, which can be used for further research of the issue and the design of a future system that would avert the global devastating effects of the groundswell. This is because only the prediction of behaviour and immediate response allows for a better response to a crisis.
Global development of innovative financial services. Does family economic socialization influence investor behavior in real estate crowdfunding?
Authors: Legenzova Renata , Leckė Gintarė 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Globalization, digitalization and growth of technological innovations trigger development of new financial services, such as real estate crowdfunding. Seeking better return opportunities individual investors often disregard neoclassical decision-making criteria, while behavioral factors, such as social influence, emotions, cognitive abilities are gaining importance. This paper addresses the role of family economics socialization as a complex process by which individuals acquire social skills, knowledge, behavior patterns needed to make investment decision by purposively or spontaneously interacting with their family members.
Purpose of the article is to assess if and how family economic socialization impacts on investor behavior in real estate crowdfunding.
Methods: Research data was collected through an online survey of Lithuanian real estate crowdfunding investors. Then structural equation modeling technique was employed to investigate the impact of family economic socialization on behavior of real estate crowdfunding investors.
Findings & Value added: Findings revealed that majority of real estate crowdfunding investors make bounded rationality investment decisions. Family, as one of the main agents of the economic socialization, does not ensure rationality of the crowdfunding decision-making process. Purposive family economic socialization has no impact on the behavior of investors with bounded rationality, yet it has a significant impact on behavior of rational family members. Spontaneous family economic socialization proved to have a positive and significant impact on the behavior of investors with bounded rationality. Taking into consideration rapid global development of innovative financial services market, such results might be a troubling signal for the product developers and market regulators.

Authors: Gregova Elena , Tulyakova Irina , Dengov Victor 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Over the recent period, new “players” have appeared on the world arms and military equipment markets as large exporters, which were previously positioned as large importers of weapons. As international experience shows, in order to become a global exporter of weapons and military equipment, one needs to create powerful military companies. Russian defense companies occupy high places in various TOP lists, which provides the country with a stable position in the export markets. An analysis of the financial condition of these companies makes it possible to deepen the assessment of the prospects for Russian arms exports. The authors have repeatedly addressed the topic of Russian arms exports and the place of Russia in the global arms and military equipment trade markets.
Purpose of the article: The main goal of the study is to analyze the current financial standing of the leading Russian defense industry companies, which ensure the country’s stable positions in global export markets.
Methods: Generalizations of the research are based on the processing and systematization of data obtained from available information sources. By analyzing the statistics, the authors were able to deduce the trends of the current moment and determine the prospects.
Findings & Value added: Consideration of the financial condition of backbone enterprises of the Russian defense industry enabled the authors to make an educated guess about what the prospects for Russia hold high positions in the global markets of AME.
Ways of Detection of Creative Accounting in a Global Economy
Authors: Hrosova Lenka 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Any entity operating in a global economic environment is required to conduct an accounting agenda in such a way that its financial statements are prepared in a clear, comprehensible manner and adhere to the accounting principle of fair and true presentation of accounting facts as it serves as a source of information for internal and other external entities using this information in its economic decision-making. It is the principle of accurate and true presentation of accounting information that plays an important role in the field of creative accounting, in which the accounting data is adjusted or manipulated to the desired form.
Purpose of the article: The main goal of this paper is to point out the issue of creative accounting and the possibility of its detection using selected models.
Methods: The methodological part is focused on the application of the Beneish model and CFEBT model assuming the use of creative techniques in the period 2016-2020.
Findings & Value added: The summary of the results of the analysis thus points to the use of creative accounting in a given accounting entity according to the Beneish model and CFEBT model, but this accounting entity, despite its use, did not violate the principle of a true and fair representation of the accounting reality.

Published: December 2021

Research background: After more than a year of the Covid-19 pandemic, we can investigate whether it caused a shock to the global economy, pushing for deglobalization, or on the contrary, it was a challenge for digital globalization and digital transformation of economies. Through this research we join the research contributions that examine the process towards digital globalization that characterizes the world economy, its impact on businesses, consumers, and governments. We also discuss the challenges posed by the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic to globalization and perhaps the acceleration of the digital transformation of economies.
Purpose of the article: The aim of this research is to highlight the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the age of digital globalization.
Methods: Documentary analysis, as the main research method, is doubled by a case study that allows us to highlight the specific characteristics of digital globalization.
Findings & Value added: The findings of the research allowed us to highlight the essential aspects of digital globalization that were perhaps exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, but which contribute greatly to understanding the phenomenon of globalization. Our research also reveals four lessons learned in the COVID-19 pandemic. We also present some considerations regarding the globalization after the health crisis.

Authors: Bencová Tatiana , Boháčiková Andrea , Tóth Marián , Pindešová Diana 
Published: December 2021

Research background: The main goal of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is to support farmers and improve their productivity. Agriculture is a specific sector of the economy, characterized by income support for farmers to ensure the availability of quality food. However, the question remains whether Slovak farms are financially healthy under the influence of the reformed CAP of European Union (EU)?
Purpose of the article: The main goal of the article is to evaluate the financial health of Slovak farms using selected prediction techniques pointing to the impact of the CAP of EU.
Methods: We have used data obtained from the financial statements of Slovak farms in the years 2009-2020. The financial health of farms will be assessed using selected generally constructed models of multivariate discriminatory analysis (Altman Z-score, IN 05, Creditworthiness Index, Taffler model), but also prediction models that have been specially constructed for the Slovak agricultural sector, such as G-index and CH-index. To detect the statistical differences between the years 2009-2013 and 2014-2020 in the value of prediction models of farms were used statistical t-tests of conformity in the surveyed sample.
Findings & Value added: The results can be evaluated on two levels. The first of them is a look at the analysis of the financial health of Slovak farms in the context of the interpretation of the regulations of the Common Agricultural Policy of EU. The second output is an evaluation of the financial health of farms in the selected time period.
Muskel-Funktionsanalyse bei Progressiver Diaphysärer
Dysplasie (PDD)/Camurati-Engelmann Syndrom (CES) – eine
Fallstudie
Authors: Anders Christoph , Abendroth Ben , Abendroth Klaus 
Published: December 2021

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Das Camurati-Engelmann Syndrom (CES) ist klinisch durch
Muskelfunktionsstörungen, Watschelgang und eingeschränkte
Mobilität gekennzeichnet, die möglicherweise durch eine
diaphysäre Dysplasie getriggert sind.
Fragestellung Lassen sich mit dem Oberflächen-EMG (OEMG)
funktionelle und pathogenetische Hinweise für die
Muskelveränderungen finden?
Methode Für diese Einzelfallstudie wurde das OEMG während
Gehens auf einem Laufband bei unterschiedlichen Gehgeschwindigkeiten an Muskeln
der Beine, der Hüfte und des Rumpfes erfasst. Ebenso wurde die
empfundene Beanspruchung erfragt. Die Daten wurden mit denen einer weiblichen
Normpopulation verglichen.
Ergebnisse Das OEMG weist bereits im Stehen wechselnde Abweichungen von
den Werten der Normpopulation auf. Das Beanspruchungsempfinden beim Gehen war
generell höher als in der Normgruppe und wies ein Optimum bei
2,5 km/h auf. Die OEMG-Kurven der Mm. multifidus, glutaeus
medius, biceps femoris und gastrocnemius ergaben der jeweiligen Funktion
zugeordnete aber von der Norm abweichende Aktivierungsmuster als Hinweis auf
Muskelschwäche und Koordinationsstörungen.
Schlussfolgerung Die beobachteten Befunde können die
Gangveränderungen zumindest teilweise erklären, erlauben aber
keine weiteren Hinweise zur Pathogenese des CES.

Emerging international compliance: Policy implications of a money laundering case
Authors: Isolauri Emilia A. , Zettinig Peter , Nummela Niina 
Published: December 2021

AbstractBy conducting a qualitative single case study, we have depicted in this study a suspected case of international money laundering in Finland, and described its consequences in terms of policy changes. The case allowed us to investigate how new anti-money laundering policies emerge over time and thus advance knowledge relevant to formulating effective international business policies. Building on institutional heterogeneity and the co-evolutionary nature of change, we have proposed a new framework depicting emerging international compliance in order to promote understanding of this complex, yet dynamic phenomenon. The literature repeatedly highlights the role of formal policies in mitigating international money laundering, however, we have paid additional attention to unethical business practices and the moral aspect recognised to be important in terms of curbing the problem. This is particularly relevant for MNCs, as they can aid institutional change internationally by spreading ‘company best practices’. We also present the managerial and policy implications of solving moral problems related to money laundering from the perspective of governments, society and organisations.
High-throughput deterministic plasma etching using array-type plasma generator system
Authors: Sano Yasuhisa , Nishida Ken , Asada Ryohei , Okayama Shinya , Toh Daisetsu , Matsuyama Satoshi , Yamauchi Kazuto 
Published: December 2021

A deterministic processing method is a high-precision finishing method, where the to-be-removed amount of material at each point of the work surface is calculated based on an accurately measured present surface shape and is removed precisely using a numerically controlled (NC) processing system. Although this method has achieved nanometer-scale accuracy, the method requires considerable time to scan the work surface, leading to low productivity. Therefore, using an individual on–off controllable array-type plasma generator covering the entire work surface, enabling simultaneous NC plasma processing is proposed herein. A novel intermittent gas flow system was constructed using cyclic on–off control of the gas supply and exhaust valves instead of the commonly used continuous gas flow to achieve uniform in-plane plasma etching. It was found that uniform removal could be achieved by combining it with a pulse-modulated high-frequency power supply and setting the plasma generation time in one cycle to be sufficiently short. Furthermore, a power control approach was developed for maintaining a constant plasma state, even while varying the plasma-generating array elements, which resulted in a demonstration experiment of NC plasma etching that successfully reduced the thickness variation of a silicon substrate.
