Results of privatization campaign in 1990’s continue to meet strong opposition from a very considerable part of Russian people and authorities actually refuse to consider the rights of private owners legitimate and not subject to violation. One of the reasons for this, besides historical tradition, is a specific nature of Russian privatization of 1990’s. The article brings to discussion a set of measures aimed at overcoming its negative consequences. While insisting on the need to honor all previous government obligations and commitments, the paper proposes a one-time special tax (windfall tax) to be levied on those who benefited most from privatization deals that were not just and fair, and special rules to be set for the use and sale of economic assets of national importance. The author also considers possible ways to legitimize private property, as well as chances to achieve а broad public consensus on this issue in Russia.

Return Process

This paper analyses homecoming experiences of African labour migrants who lived in Israel and returned home. Using qualitative research methodologies, I discerned what factors - material and non-material - determine the relative success of the return process. Focusing on these factors’ effects, I offer a new understanding of labour migrants’ homecoming experiences: those who are “content,” “readjusting,” or “lost. Following Ulrich Beck's (2006) analysis of cosmopolitanism, I suggest that these categories portray significant new life spaces that are neither what they left nor what they came from, and are dynamic, fragile, and constantly changing. In some cases the influence of economic assets on the returned migrants’ homecoming experience was indeed crucial, in many other cases the challenges of reconnecting oneself with home, family, and existing social norms and customs was much more influential on their homecoming experience including on their sense of well-being. Furthermore, some of the non-material goods such as individualization, personal responsibility, and long-term planning proved useful, others such as trust, particularly in relation to family, were detrimental.

The Village

Bumdes is a village business unit whose capital comes from village-owned funds . The goal is to float the village potential into an independent village. Thus it takes effort and strategic and appropriate tips to achieve that goal. The first tip is to establish a forum for the development of economic networks in this case is the establishment of BUMDES. Some of the things that can be done are: (i) development of human resources capability so as to provide added value in the management of village economic assets, (ii) integrating rural economic products so as to have good bargaining position in market network, (iii) (iv) strengthening village economic institutions, (v) developing supporting elements such as micro-credit, market information, technological and management support, economic infrastructure and communication networks as well as support for guidance and regulation.

At the World Conference on Disaster Reduction, Hyogo, Japan, in January 2005, the international community adopted a 10-year plan to make the world safer from disasters. The resultant Hyogo Framework for Action is the global blueprint for disaster risk reduction with the goal of substantially reducing disaster losses in human lives and socio-economic assets. What is the signi!cance of the HFA for the adoption of disaster prevention, management and risk reduction frameworks in African States? Since 2005, what has been the attitude of African States to the promise of the HFA? In terms of policy and planning, how should African States engage the HFA towards securing human lives and properties against natural and human-induced disasters? With the myriad challenges of mass poverty and underdevelopment across Africa, what implications does the HFA hold for disaster risk reduction and management in African States? This article attempts to address this plethora of questions, drawing on lessons learned in Africa and beyond. The article examines the background of the HFA and its progress in shaping the global policy agenda towards disaster management and reduction. While the article acknowledges some of the inherent weaknesses in the promise of the HFA, it nonetheless accentuates its inimitable implications for broad legal and policy strategies towards ameliorating the usual horrific aftermath of disasters in Africa.

Recent literature shows that most safety-related standards are not yet finalized as long as they seem far from assessing a sought level of safety. In addition, the shortened and hasty assessment of the industrial safety depends solely on what directly endangers mankind security and its economic assets. Moreover, well-known quality standards have not yet established a well-defined code to formulate the safety and liability area of the product quality. Owing to the safety-related weak points mentioned above, the present paper puts forth a unified and applicable mathematical model. Moreover, this paper confirms that humanity's engineering willingness of a prospective industrial product (vehicle) along with its manufacturing plants has not to overlook crucial safety instructions for a multi-entity Environmental Closed System (ECS). The suggested environment-related approach is here checked using three commonly applied methods, namely, SPC, FMEA, and Markov Chains of industrial safety estimation for products /plants. Main findings of the present paper conclude that industrial (product/ plant) safety, in its broadened sense, does embrace the gain/loss statistical data of a product's introductory versions and represents a trade–off function of its profits (resource renovation) and its losses (resources drain). In addition, the comprehensive resource-loss trend helps product designers and concerned researchers meet a wide range of customer requirements and more operational regulations.

Muhammadiyah's charitable efforts as a community based on economic assets have a significant number of assets that are non-profit oriented. This certainly will be very different in the perspective of economic assets when viewed from the accounting field because Muhammadiyah charity efforts are based on publicity, this is very interesting to study because there are still a lack of public-based research. The purpose of this study is to reveal the perspective of the meaning of charity business as a community based on economic assets in the Muhammadiyah Business Charity sector in health in Jember Regency. This research uses a phenomenology paradigm with qualiative methods to interpret charity business as an asset-based economy of humanity. The perspective of economic assets is similar to the founders statement of Muhammadiyah, KH Ahmad Dahlan, such as ta'awun, tawashi ', and fastabikhul khoirot. When the internalization of economic assets is successful, the performance of charity efforts will continue to increase and not cause fundamental ideological conflicts. The results of the research show that Amal is a community-based economic asset and human resource as an economic driver of the people, of course as a means of propaganda, a means of improving public health services, and as an organizational asset. In essence, the charitable endeavors of Ranap Ambulu clinic, Asyifa Wuluhan Clinic, Ar Rahman Bangsalsari Clinic and dr. Suherman Sumbersari in Jember Regency is a means to improve the community health services community and also the assets of Muhammadiyah organizations in Jember Regency.Keywords Business Charity, Perspective, Economic Assets, PhenomenologyAbstrak: Upaya amal usaha Muhammadiyah sebagai komunitas yang didasarkan pada aset ekonomi memiliki sejumlah besar aset yang berorientasi nirlaba. Ini tentu akan sangat berbeda dalam perspektif aset ekonomi jika dilihat dari bidang akuntansi karena upaya amal usaha Muhammadiyah didasarkan pada publisitas, ini sangat menarik untuk dikaji karena masih kurangnya penelitian berbasis publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap perspektif makna aset ekonomi amal usaha Muhammadiyah di bidang kesehatan di Kabupaten Jember. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologis interpretif untuk menginterpretasikan aset ekonomi amal usaha berbasis keumatan. Perspektif aset ekonomi dikonfirmasi oleh nilai permaknaan yang dipromosikan oleh pendiri Muhammadiyah yaitu Kyai Haji Ahmad Dahlan, antara lain ta'awun, tawashi ', dan fastabikhul khoirot. Kemudian makna aset ekonomi diinternalisasi dalam semua upaya amal melalui beberapa tahap secara bersamaan. Ketika internalisasi aset ekonomi berhasil, kinerja upaya amal akan terus meningkat dan tidak menyebabkan konflik ideologis mendasar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Amal adalah aset ekonomi berbasis masyarakat dan sumber daya manusia sebagai pendorong ekonomi rakyat, tentu saja sebagai sarana propaganda, sarana meningkatkan pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat, dan sebagai aset organisasi. Intinya, upaya amal klinik Ranap Ambulu, Klinik Asyifa Wuluhan, Klinik Ar Rahman Bangsalsari dan dr. Suherman Sumbersari di Kabupaten Jember adalah sarana untuk meningkatkan pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat dan juga aset organisasi Muhammadiyah di Kabupaten Jember.Kata Kunci:  Amal Usaha, Aset Ekonomi, Berbasis Keumatan

Accelerating sea level rise in Virginia, United States, will significantly increase the flooding threat to low-lying roads, residences, and critical infrastructure as well as raise the water table, allowing saltwater intrusion into well water and threatening the function of septic fields. Although most of the adaptation work in Virginia has focused on urban economic centers, the majority of the coastline is rural and faces different threats and opportunities to address them compared to urban areas due to their reduced economic assets and their reliance on private infrastructure. In this case study, we assess the potential for geospatially quantifying impact to septic systems and adjacent water ways due to sea level rise. The case study found that the data necessary to reliably quantify these impacts on a state-wide scale are lacking and collection of that information needs to be prioritized given the potential for extensive sea level impacts.

This chapter outlines the economic determinants of human fertility, and explores the demographic transition, and studies of child productivity. It offers an assessment of the costs of and returns from child production in Kala over the first 15 years of life, in terms of their costs and the contributions which they make to the family’s prosperity. Several aspects of child production are investigated, such as the opportunity cost of women’s time, children’s marriage and dowry costs, and the value of children’s labour. Risks to child-production include an understanding of survival rates for infants and children, sickness, and child-failure rates – as when a young man goes off on migration and does not return. The chapter concludes with a recognition of the limits to an economic understanding of high fertility, for example as shown by the political and religious importance of children, since children are not just economic assets but constitute “descendants”.
