The chapter on Poland focuses on two questions. Why, in contrast to all other state-socialist countries, did the church’s capacity for integration actually increase rather than decrease despite persecution and discrimination during the communist period? And why has this capacity also remained more or less constant (albeit to a lesser extent) in the period since the end of communist rule? The authors have identified four key factors in the remarkable resistance of the Polish Catholic Church during the period of communist persecution: the fusion of religious and national values, the specific conflict dynamics of the church’s struggle with the state, the structural conservatism of agricultural production in Poland, and the actions of Pope John Paul II. Explanations for the surprising stability of religiosity in Poland after 1990 point to the behaviour of the Church itself, to the internal pluralization of Catholicism, and to the impact of a homogeneous religious culture.

The paper aims at exploring the sociological factors influencing consumers purchasing behaviour in the clothing industry. This study deployed a qualitative approach to exploring key factors influencing consumers purchasing behaviour. More specifically, the study adopted semi-structured interviews with 16 employees of TR COUTURE. The finding revealed that age, quality, income and fund shapes consumers purchasing behaviour. The implication of this finding is that marketers should constantly study the behavioural patterns of their clients before making plans to buy goods or services sold to consumers as factors explored in this study indicate that they strongly shapes consumers buying pattern.

The late 1980s and early 1990s saw a revolution in economic policy and a transformation of the New Zealand economy. Such events also involved a revolution in legal thought and analysis. This article brings the main elements of this new economic approach to law and policy to a wider audience. It seeks to review the main features of the recent and significant advances that have been made in the economic analysis of organisations and institutions. The article first discusses the fundamental factors which must be recognised as constraints on the ability to secure an ideal society. It then discusses how private arrangements seek to overcome these constraints and the limits to their success. The role of the state in alleviating or overcoming problems with private solutions is also discussed, with the author stressing the need to recognise that the state is not an omniscient and omnipotent solver of social problems. The author concludes that the analysis of government and government policy needs to be based on a comparative institutional approach involving an assessment of institutional structures according to the processes and outcomes they involve, utilising generally accepted criteria for making social choices. Key factors that must be considered in comparing alternative means for achieving social goals are identified.

In case of a shortage of China’s domestic timber, the research of China’s timber security has become increasingly more important. Using the pressure-state–response (PSR) conceptual model and the entropy method, the timber security of China during 1997–2017 was evaluated and analyzed to understand and master the situation of timber security in this paper. The results showed that: (1) The pressure of timber security in China during 1997–2017 was increasing in waves, with the condition of timber imports as the main factor; (2) the state of timber security in China presented a downward-then-upward tendency during 1997–2017, the main influencing factors of which were the domestic timber supply and forest resources condition; (3) responses to ensure the timber security of China almost indicated a steep rising trend, because both the timber industry technical progress index and the waste paper recovery rate improved the safety of timber in China; and (4) the changing trend of the comprehensive evaluation of timber security in China approximately agrees with that of the state evaluation, which showed that state indicators were key factors affecting the timber security of China. The pressures influencing the timber security of China are rising, while the state of timber security and the responses of the high-tech industry have been improving at a higher range than the pressures, which has led to an improvement of China’s timber security.

The authors analyze the impact of migration from Venezuela on the domestic policy of the United States. According to the data for 2017, more than 11 percent of immigrants to the United States from South America are Venezuelans, and the same figure for 2016 was close to 9 percent, which indicates a fairly sharp increase in the number of refugees. An active influx of Venezuelans may be one of the key factors in the future US 2020 presidential elections. The largest diaspora of Venezuelans in the United States lives in Florida, which will be one of the key states in the future presidential election campaign. In connection with the potential loss of Republican’s positions in such an important region as Florida, it is necessary for the administration of Donald Trump to reconsider its policy in the state. In addition, representatives of the Democratic party are greatly interested in increasing influence in the state. Thus, the authors conclude that the administration of Donald Trump generally benefits from the crisis in Venezuela, as it will help to carry out a number of domestic political reforms aimed at economic protectionism and tackling of immigration.

At present, intellectual capital is the most important resource for all organizations. Therefore, in the present research work the integral study will be carried out in the academic area of an institution of higher secondary education, in the state of Tabasco. It is proposed to design an instrument, which is considered a hybrid as it is formed by intangible information that is interpreted by the researcher and translated through a Likert scale to a quantitative data that allows to locate the study factor in a clear way to determine its degree of influence in the generation of intellectual capital. In addition, these factors are taken from experts in the study context whose experience allows them to give their opinion. This information is included in a double entry table that allows to find the key factors of incidence in the subject of study. The study is duly justified because it allows us to find the key factors that have the development of human resources to intellectual capital, which greatly benefits the context of study, in addition that an integral evaluation instrument will be provided since it covers tangible and intangible aspects in the measureme.

As a kind of rapid filling hydraulic structure, geomembrane tube can effectively act as flood barriers and cofferdams for flood risk management. L-shaped block is used to support geomembrane tube to prevent it from rolling. The contact force between the L-shaped block and the geomembrane tube is analyzed by using particle flow code (PFC2D) software, and the overturning stability of the L-shaped block is calculated. The relationship between the key factors and the overturning stability was established. It is found that the central angle of the L-shaped block has little influence on the overturning stability. The overturning stability decreases with the increase of the initial pumping pressure. Keeping Lw/Lb unchanged, increasing Lb will improve the overturning stability where Lw and Lb are the width and the height of the Lshaped block. Under the ultimate water level, when 1.23 Lbcr < Lw≤1.55 Lbcr, the L-shaped block is in the state of overturning stability where Lbcr is the critical height of the L-shaped block. The initial pumping pressure is less than 0.152γL, the L-shaped block is in the state of overturning stability with Lw/Lbcr =1.0 where L is the cross-sectional perimeter of the geomembrane tube and γ is the unit weight of the filling liquid, on the contrary, Lw/Lbcr must be greater than 1 to ensure its overturning stability.

Objective: To detect the factors which affect competitiveness of the hydrocarbon sector from the study context. In order to generate a proposal for the improvement of that sector. Methodology. Through working with experts, it is possible to interrelate information that allows visualizing in a global way the study problem. This is achieved through the study of the context variables (six), with support from the structural analysis scheme that will generate the four potential areas where the conflict zone, power zone, zone of autonomous problems and exit zone are located, allowing the clear detection of the incident factors. Results. Given the previous scheme and with an in-depth analysis, we propose a model that generates the strengthening of the key factors (power zone), also we search for a way to stabilize the factors of the zone of conflict; all this will consolidate the work of the type of organizations studied, enabling them to be competitive in a globalized environment.

Background: Increasing demand for allied health services is driving workforce redesign towards greater productivity within budgetary constraints. To date, there has been limited research into workforce redesign tools at an organisational level. The aim of this article was to evaluate an implementation of The Calderdale Framework for state-wide service delivery workforce redesign within allied health settings across Queensland. Method: A multi-phase methodology with mixed methods of data collection was used. This included analysis of documents, staff surveys, and semi-structured, in-depth interviews with staff from work units utilising the Framework across the state. Findings: The primary mechanisms for implementation were staff training and provision of centralised resources. Across the state, all health services engaged in training and most completed associated workforce redesign projects. However, the number and type of projects varied across the state as did the successful projects. Feedback from staff indicated the structured nature of the framework was viewed positively, but was time intensive to perform. Local contextual factors heavily influenced workforce redesign success. Conclusion: Key factors pertaining to state-wide workforce redesign include: providing coordinated and centralised systems to support staff, ensuring adequate training, prioritising the development of key local staff, and proactively managing local contextual factors.

Ethiopia’s political economy has historically been shaped by two key factors: the strength of the state, and the divergence between the sources of political power, concentrated in the northern highlands, and of economic power, concentrated in the southern and western regions incorporated in the late nineteenth century. These features were intensified under both imperial (1941–74) and revolutionary (1974–91) regimes that used a greatly strengthened state to promote development programmes that rested on the economic exploitation of politically marginalized regions. The EPRDF regime, in office since 1991, has addressed these problems through a federal system designed to rectify historical imbalances in political power, combined with a ‘developmental state’ that drew on East Asian models to generate rapid economic growth through incorporation into the global economy, while retaining a strong role for the state. Despite the impressive successes of this programme, problems derived from the historical structure of Ethiopian statehood inevitably remain.
