Abstract

Research purpose.
Integrating advanced technological solutions into production management and control systems heralds a new era of enhanced efficiency and defect mitigation in manufacturing processes. A significant reduction in human errors marks this advancement and encompasses the adoption of technological and environmental innovations. These elements, in synergy with quality assurance methods and certified management systems, are the foundations for the factory of the future. However, the pace of adoption of these digital technologies varies across different companies and industrial sectors and is influenced by distinct factors. This research aims to investigate the relations between methods of assuring quality in production, certified management systems, adoption of digital technologies for production management and control, and the performance of manufacturing companies in terms of product quality and customer satisfaction.

Design / Methodology / Approach.
In this study, the authors employed a multivariable analysis approach, utilizing data from the Latvian and Finnish subsets of the European Manufacturing Survey 2022 (EMS, 2022) data collection.

Findings.
Manufacturers utilizing traditional quality and production management approaches tend to adopt new technologies. However, using digital technologies to manage and control manufacturing processes alone does not ensure better product quality and increased customer satisfaction.

Originality / Value / Practical implications.
The study enhances understanding of the nexus between established production management practices and the integration of digital technologies. Insights into this interplay enable manufacturing companies to streamline their digital transformation, optimizing operations for the benefit of the company, its customers, and the environment.

Abstract

Research purpose.
The purpose of this study is to analyse the progress of the Baltic Sea Region countries in implementing the LNOB in a short-term trend. The study seeks to identify the stability of progress in a five-year period and examine which LNOB index dimensions and the sustainable development goals pose the greatest challenges in ensuring the inclusion of all members of society.

Design / Methodology / Approach.
The qualitative research method, document analysis was applied in the research. The analysis of Europe Sustainable Development Reports (further – SDRs) (2019-2023 period) was completed to identify the Baltic Sea Region countries’ progress in achieving the LNOB Index in the short-term trend. This analytical approach allowed a comprehensive examination of the progress recorded in the LNOB index. Through meticulous evaluation, dynamic changes unfolding over the specified five-year timeframe were unveiled, providing valuable insights into inclusive sustainable development in the Baltic Sea Region countries.

Findings.
Five-year period data on the Baltic Sea Region’s LNBO and SDG indicators show positive progress as the number of above-EU average countries is rising and the gap between the best and worst performers is narrowing. However, the LNOB progress is very uneven as the countries experienced some development and some regression (Finland decreased by 0.8 points, while Lithuania improved by 8 points). The analysis of LNOB dimensions revealed some challenges. In the dimension of poverty and material deprivation, countries have shown a declining trend due to lower trends for SDG2 Zero Hunger and SDG12 Responsible Consumption and Production. In the dimension of income inequality Denmark and Sweden have even worsened their trends due to the stagnating situation SDG8 Decent Work and Economic Growth and SDG10 Reduced inequalities. The dimension of Access To and Quality of Services have decreased due to declining trends in SDG4 Quality education. These findings indicate that even developed countries are vulnerable to global and national challenges.

Originality / Value / Practical implications.
The originality of this topic lies in our approach to a detailed assessment of the progress of the countries of the Baltic Sea region using the LNOB index and the forecasted trends in achieving sustainable development goals. Rather than focusing solely on specific targets or indicators, we take a holistic approach by analysing the LNOB Index, providing insights into the region’s commitment to sustainable development. We performed a detailed analysis of the LNOB index of the Baltic Sea region countries, based on the four dimensions of the index, and highlighted progress and challenges in the field of sustainable development.
Warum der Freihandel fertig hat

Published: December 2024

Abstract
The article presents central findings from our book “Free Trade Is Finished,“ which discusses the trade-off between security and economic policy objectives that has become apparent in recent years. We analytically derive which goods are to be classified as “critical” and formulate three criteria for this: no substitutability in the short term; immediate relevance for consumption; forced rationing in the event of a crisis or the existence of external effects. If these criteria are met, state interventions such as concentration tariffs or capacity markets can solve the procurement problem. In terms of game theory, trade wars can also be avoided by understanding foreign dependencies as a potential weapon in such disputes.
Der Zolltarif als Trumpfkarte
Authors: James Harold 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The trade policies of the new Trump Administration will lead to job losses and higher consumer prices. Moreover, the emphasis on bilateral trade balances is likely to be restrictive. The current protectionist tide is due to the lack of an honest public debate about the potential benefits of free trade. Referendums could reveal voters’ preferences between tariffs and alternative sources of income. Data-driven policymaking would be a counterweight to politically motivated protectionism and could pave the way for a new wave of globalisation.
Wandel durch Handel im neuen Systemwettbewerb – Zeit für eine Truman-Doktrin 2.0?
Authors: Yalcin Erdal

Abstract
This article analyses the development and challenges of international trade as a means of economic and political transformation. It examines the historical role of free trade in global integration and highlights the growing criticism of its effectiveness in the face of rising authoritarian regimes. The article underscores the necessity of political support for trade, as exemplified by the Truman Doctrine, and hypothesises that international trade, without accompanying political measures and institutional support, cannot achieve sustainable economic and political transformations.
Resilienzauktionen für Nullemissionstechnologien
Authors: Wolf André 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Europe’s rapid transition to a low-carbon economy has put a limited number of renewable energy technologies, such as heat pumps and solar panels, at the centre of the EU’s industrial strategy. For some of these net-zero technology goods, the EU has significant import dependencies on a few third countries, notably China. This exposes European supply chains to risks that are difficult to manage. In response, the EU has set the stage for a new market-based instrument: the introduction of resilience criteria in public procurement and renewable energy support auctions. This article discusses the rationale for such criteria and examines the strengths and weaknesses of different design options. Using the example of support auctions for ground-mounted PV in Germany, it simulates the impact of a resilience bonus on support costs and demand for domestic PV modules.

A BUSCA PELA LIBERDADE
Authors: Marques Alexandre Bittencourt Leite 
Published: December 2024

Nos sertões de Pernambuco, durante os período colonial, a escravidão foi marcante. Forçadamente fixados nesses lugares, por vezes, os escravizados, seja africano ou descendente já nascido no Brasil, empreenderam os mais diversos tipos de negociações e resistências contra a situação de cativeiro a qual estavam submetidos. Apesar do gradativo avanço ocorrido na historiografia das últimas décadas, ainda assim, há muito a se analisar a respeito da escravidão e liberdade nas regiões do interior pernambucano. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar e analisar indícios a respeito da busca de escravos por liberdade, seja esta através de concessões de alforrias ou de fugas para os matos, ocorridas nos sertões de Pernambuco, entre os anos de 1750 e 1810. Para tal, faz-se uso do método do paradigma indiciário utilizado por Carlo Ginzburg (1989), tendo a micro-história como perspectiva de análise. Em relação às fontes de pesquisa, usou-se inventários post-mortem e testamentos pertencentes ao Memorial da Justiça/Tribunal de Justiça de Pernambuco e ao Instituto Arqueológico, Histórico e Geográfico Pernambucano, bem como manuscritos avulsos do Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino e outros documentos coevos.
«А В ЧЕТВЕРТОЙ КОЛЕСНИЦЕ КОНИ ПЕГИЕ, СИЛЬНЫЕ». К ВОПРОСУ ОБ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ ФРАНЦИСКАНСКИХ И ДОМИНИКАНСКИХ МОНАСТЫРЕЙ В ГОРОДСКОЙ СРЕДЕ (XIII–XV ВЕКА)

В статье рассматриваются вопросы, связанные со спецификой построения нищенствующих (мендикантских) монастырей, преимущественно доминиканских и францисканских. Автора интересуют особенности размещения монастырей, способы их продвижения, причины успехов во многих европейских городах. Затрагивается экономическая проблематика и вопросы о том, как монастыри находили покровителей и спонсоров в условиях ограниченной базы для развития, способы их конкуренции. При этом выдвигается предположение о том, что она имела место как между различными мендикантскими орденами, так и орденами, и приходами, и даже епископами. В Центральной Европе недостаток ресурсов делал подобную борьбу еще более ощутимой, особенно на фоне турецкого нашествия. Автор касается также вопроса о возможности проследить отношения монастырей мендикантов и коммун.
The article discusses issues related to the specifics of the construction of mendicant monasteries, mainly Dominican and Franciscan. The author raises the question of the specifics of the placement of monasteries, the ways of their promotion, and the reasons for success in many European cities. The economic problems and questions of how monasteries found patrons and sponsors in conditions of a limited base for development, ways of interaction are touched upon. At the same time, it is suggested that competition took place both between various Mendicant orders, as well as anong orders and parishes and even bishops. In Central Europe, the lack of resources made such a struggle even more palpable, especially witn considering the background of the Turkish invasion. The author also addresses the issue of the possibility of tracing the relationship between mendicant monasteries and communes.

Published: December 2024

В статье представлены результаты исследования оценивания студентами с ОВЗ психологической безопасности и комфортности образовательной среды университета в сравнении с аналогичными оценками нормотипичных студентов. Анализируется соотношение показателей психологической безопасности образовательной среды с показателями самочувствия, настроения и активности, которые рассматриваются как показатели эмоционального благополучия студентов. Показаны различия этих соотношений в группах студентов с ОВЗ и их нормотипичных однокурсников. В группе нормотипичных студентов эти показатели достоверно взаимосвязаны, в группе студентов с ОВЗ – независимы. Этот факт позволяет предположить, что у студентов с ОВЗ сформировалась способность сохранять активность независимо от настроения и внешних факторов среды. В группе нормотипичных студентов фиксируются только положительные корреляции показателей комфортности и психологической безопасности образовательной среды с показателями самочувствия, активности и настроения. Одновременно на основе анализа многочисленных достоверных отрицательных корреляций отдельных шкал обобщенных показателей самочувствия, настроения и активности с показателями психологической безопасности и комфортности образовательной среды в группе студентов с ОВЗ высказывается предположение об их неприятии особого, опекающего отношения в образовательной среде вуза.
The article presents the results of the study of students with disabilities' assessment of psychological safety and comfort of the educational environment of the university in comparison with analogous assessments of normotypic students. The correlation between the indicators of psychological safety of the educational environment and the indicators of well-being, mood and activity, which are considered as indicators of emotional well-being of students, is analyzed. Differences of these correlations in groups of students with disabilities and their normotypic classmates are shown. In the group of normotypic students these indicators are reliably interrelated, in the group of students with disabilities - independent. This fact suggests that students with disabilities have formed the ability to remain active regardless of mood and external environmental factors. In the group of normotypic students only positive correlations of indicators of comfort and psychological safety of the educational environment with the indicators of well-being, activity and mood are recorded. At the same time, based on the analysis of numerous reliable negative correlations of individual scales of generalized indicators of well-being, mood and activity with the indicators of psychological safety and comfort of the educational environment in the group of students with disabilities, there is a suggestion about their aversion to a special, patronizing attitude in the educational environment of the university.

В статье рассматриваются роль и значение современных цифровых технологий и влияние, оказываемое ими на сотрудников. В XXI-м веке общество претерпевает количественное и качественное изменение и, в первую очередь, это связано с цифровой трансформацией всего современного мира, а также процессом цифровой трансформации служебной деятельности, в частности. Процесс цифровизации становится важной частью в деле формирования «нового человека», во всех его личностных аспектах, начиная от гражданина до специалиста-профессионала. Вместе с тем, в организациях всё чаще и ярче проявляется сопротивление сотрудников проводимым изменениям, обусловленным процессом цифровизации. Феномен «техностресса» способствует созданию условий для профессионального выгорания сотрудников.
The article examines the role and importance of modern digital technologies and the impact they have on employees. In the 21st century, society is undergoing quantitative and qualitative change and, first of all, this is due to the digital transformation of the entire modern world, as well as the process of digital transformation of official activities, in particular. The process of digitalization is becoming an important part in the formation of a “new person”, in all his personal aspects, starting from a citizen to a professional specialist. At the same time, the resistance of employees to changes caused by the digitalization process is becoming more and more pronounced in organizations. The phenomenon of “technostress” contributes to the creation of conditions for professional burnout of employees.
