Using Data

This paper analyzes interregional commodity flows in order to clarify the characteristics of trade structures for the regional economy in Japan. Two types of analytical model are indicated according to two different objectives. One is to characterize the role of each industrial sector, the other is to take into account the relative connectivity of the interregional relationships under study. Even these simple models provide some useful information for regional development and planning, as demonstrated in this paper by using data from the 1970 interregional input—output table.

Using Data

The research findings discussed in this paper present ideas from the second stage of a project to evaluate the role of higher education institutions (HEIs) in regional economies. Using data developed through a learning region framework, the research schematically represents HEI linkages to the region . Possible linkage scenarios for each of six dimensions associated with embeddedness are presented. The findings suggest that this qualitative approach moves us closer to better capturing the complexity and role of HEI in regional development.

Linguistic Process

An important question in language evolution is whether segmentation as a linguistic process is able to yield compositionality. Segmentation is hypothesized to be a process to bridge the gap between holistic and compositional lexicons. However, to date no thorough analytical method has been provided to test the feasibility of segmentation. In this paper, an analytical model is presented that can predict the probability of encountering various kinds of overlaps by observing utterance pairs, and the probability of finding confirmation in the language for newly extracted segments. Language users start by using a previously evolved holistic lexicon to communicate about simple environments. They segment these holistic utterances to smaller pieces, which can be used as elements of a compositional lexicon. The model reveals that the feasibility of segmentation depends on the definition of counterexamples, i.e. those associations (pairs), which either cause ambiguous extraction of segments, or do not allow segmentation at all. On one hand if inexact overlaps are considered to be contradictory (i.e. causing confusion) to a perfect exact overlap, then the probability is so minuscule that it renders the role of segmentation marginal during language evolution. On the other hand, if such inexact counterexamples are able to be segmented unambiguously due to extra cognitive capacities, segmentation may have a much higher feasibility.

The Relationship

This chapter discusses the relationship between comparative law and economic analysis of law. After providing an overview of the characteristics of the economic analysis of law, it explains how one of the two disciplines can operate as an ancillary discipline to the other; this has been termed ‘Comparative Law and Economics’. The next section describes how comparative law and economic analysis of law can be brought together by making one discipline the subject matter of the other. It suggests that the role of economic analysis of law may be greater in case law systems than in codified systems and that this role may vary according to the subject of legislation. The section concludes with considerations on the role comparative law plays and should play in different contexts. Finally, it is argued that comparative law and economics should not be considered a discipline on its own.

Author analyzes scientific experience and literature in the field of assessing regional economy and regional development. In this research, the author tries to explore relation between state intervention and investment attractiveness of regions. The author proposes a new Regional Investment Index, which is an instrument for measuring business environment improvement and increase in investment attractiveness. This new Regional Investment Index is an instrument that can be used not only for analysis of economic indicators, but also for improvement of state policy at the regional level. The author develops Regional investment index in order to manage regional development and direction of investment processes. Regional investment index allows for a potential comparison of municipalities by combining different approaches and dimensions and thus becoming unique. The Russian index differs of the Regional investment index because the group of determinants is structured into two indexes. On the other hand, the Asian indexes are ones which are combined and refined in Regional investment index. The new Regional investment index is sophisticated, more flexible, comprehensive and gives more opportunities for comparison at the level of local authorities and territories.

The scientists as Bateson, Watzlawick expresses the determining role of interaction in the axiom of the “impossibility of not communicating”. All behavior (verbal and nonverbal) occurring between persons who are conscious of each other's presence has behavioural effects, whether intended or not. Such effects have interpersonal message value, and thus are communicative in nature. Since it is impossible for humans not to behave in one way or another, it follows that in interaction it is impossible not to communicate (Bateson, 1963; Watzlawick et al., 1967). Communication theory is relatively new as science and interacts with the other disciplines of sciences. During its development some of the notions were used that were already committed and comprehensive. This article aims to present some of them. Terms as system, input, output, feedback, entropy specific to scientific disciplines as systems theory, cybernetics, information theory, physics, are especially used in communication theory.

Kabupaten Natuna sebagai daerah pulau-pulau kecil memiliki sumber daya alam yang besar khususnya perikanan. Sektor perikanan diharapkan dapat menjadi motor penggerak bagi pengembangan wilayah Kabupaten Natuna. Salah satu alternatif menggerakkan dan memacu pembangunan wilayah adalah menentukan pusat pertumbuhan ekonomi dan meningkatkan keterkaitan antar sektor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat perkembangan wilayah berdasarkan kelengkapan infrastruktur wilayah, menganalisis keterkaitan ke belakang dan ke depan (backward and forward linkages) sektor perikanan dan menganalisis seberapa besar peranan sektor perikanan terhadap perekonomian Kabupaten Natuna. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah Skalogram dan Input-Output (I-O). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kecamatan yang berpotensi sebagai pusat pertumbuhan ekonomi adalah Kecamatan Bunguran Timur dan Pulau Tiga. Sektor industri pengolahan, penyediaan akomodasi dan makan minum, transportasi dan pergudangan, jasa keuangan dan asuransi, dan real estate dan jasa perusahaan termasuk ke dalam sektor unggulan karena memiliki daya penyebaran ke belakang dan daya kepekaan terhadap permintaan akhir sektor-sektor perekonomian. Sementara sektor perikanan belum menjadi sektor unggulan yang dapat menjadi penggerak secara langsung perekonomian di Kabupaten Natuna. Upaya untuk mendorong keterkaitan antar sektor perikanan dengan sektor perekonomian wilayah dengan pengembangan industri hilir yang memanfaatkan output kegiatan perikanan sebagai bahan baku produksinya baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung dan difokuskan pada lokasi yang berpotensi sebagai pusat pertumbuhan Tittle: Role of Fisheries Sector to Economy of the Natuna RegencyNatuna Regency is a potential area with great amount of fisheries resources. Its fisheries resources are expected to encourage the development within the regency. The establisment of economic growth center and increased linkages among sectors were suggested to accelerate the regional development. This study aims to analyze the level of regional development based on the completeness of regional infrastructure, to analyze the backward and forward linkages of the fisheries sector and to measure the role of fisheries in economy of Natuna Regency. Scalogram and Input-Output were used for data analysis. The results suggested two districts as a center of economic growth, they are Bunguran Timur District and Pulau Tiga. Instead of fisheries sector,  the manufacturing, accommodation, food and beverage, transportation, warehousing, financial and insurance services, real estate and company services were the leading sectors due to their backward deployment and sensitivity to the final demands of the economic sectors. Efforts to encourage linkages between fisheries and other regional economic sector are necessary through the development of downstream industries. It includes the directly and indirectly use of fisheries outputs as raw material for production in the focus area of centers of growth

This article studies the perception of great powers in the eyes of students in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan using data collected through an online survey. The research has compared the perceptions of China’s and other Great Powers’ economic, political, and military authority among the youth of Central Asian countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. To analyze these perceptions, young people from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan (N = 262) took part in a survey in the spring of 2021. Responses were analyzed to reveal the differences in perception by applying descriptive and inferential statistical methods, i.e., one-sample t-test. An association of geodemographic factors with the perception towards global powers was discovered by applying the chi-square test statistical method. The early research revealed that the role of the other Great Powers was seen mainly in political terms, while China’s role was mostly economic, however, recent studies made it clear that China’s political influence is increasing in the region. Another finding from this research is that China’s position on human rights and environmental issues is more negatively perceived than that of the other Great powers.

Decision Making Units

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a powerful tool for evaluating and improving the performance of a set of decision-making units (DMUs). Empirically, there are usually many DMUs exhibiting “efficient” status in multi-input multioutput situations. However, it is not appropriate to assert that all efficient DMUs have equivalent performances. Actually, a DMU can be evaluated to be efficient as long as it performs best in a single dimension. This paper argues that an efficient DMU of a particular input-output proportion has its own specialty and may also perform poorly in some dimensions. Two DEA-based approaches are proposed to measure the dimension-specific efficiency of DMUs. One is measuring efficiency in multiplier-form by further processing the original multiplier DEA model. The other is calculating efficiency in envelopment-form by comparing with an ideal DMU. The proposed approaches are applied to 26 supermarkets in the city of Nanjing, China, which have provided new insights on efficiency for the managers.

Using animals to test cosmetic products is controversial, but little research has explored its social and psychological influences. Relationships between two personality constructs related to nonconformity (independence and anticonformity) and attitudes toward animal testing were studied using data from a survey of 418 students. The Independence Orientation and Nonconformity Orientation Scales (Ringness, 1970) were used to measure independence and anticonformity. Results showed that behavioral intentions were unrelated to age, women were more likely to get involved in antitesting behavior than were men, holding antitesting attitudes redicted intended action, and higher levels of anticonformity were associated with opposition as well, even when the effects of the other variables were held constant.
