Shaping the change. Regional economy and demography in the Ruhr area. Against the background of the current debate in Germany on problems of demographic change and an ageing society, the present article addresses the possibilities to shape demographic change and its impact on regional development. The main argument is, that on a regional level, both demographic change itself and its social and economic impacts, can be influenced even in the short term. Demographic change itself may be influenced by migration, more precisely by attracting families with children and improving integration of immigrants. Its social and economic impacts may be influenced by using ageing as a stimulus for innovation and business development. Conditions in the Ruhr area for these strategies are generally quite favourable. However, present institutional structures in the region constitute a strong impediment against an effective management of demographic chance.

Working capital management is important for every organization as it refers to the effective management of current assets and current liabilities. The aim is to make sure that the firm is capable to continue its operations and it has sufficient cash flow to satisfy both maturing short-term debt and upcoming operational expenses. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the management of working capital in Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, a leading public sector enterprise in India over a period of 10 years (That is from 2009-10 to 2018-19). The paper also attempts to study the components of working capital and analyze the relationship between liquidity and profitability of HPCL. The study is based on secondary data collected from annual report of HPCL for the past 10 years, Pearson correlation and regression model are used for this purpose. From the study it is found that there is a significant relationship between liquidity and profitability.

Subject South African post-lockdown mining. Significance Three weeks into its COVID-19-related lockdown, the government allowed certain mines to ramp up to 100% capacity (coal and opencast operations) and others to 50% (underground operations), making it the first non-essential industry allowed to resume full or partial operations. This particularly benefits smaller, more marginal mines, as larger ones were already in a relatively resilient financial position. However, more fundamental issues continue to weigh on the industry, such as costly and erratic power supply and ongoing policy uncertainty. Impacts An extended lockdown and the economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis could see a rise in community-based protests interrupting operations. A surge in COVID-19 infections at mines and subsequent closures will cast doubt over the feasibility of the industry's short-term strategy. The growing financial stress on workers may prompt more militant demands during scheduled coal wage negotiations later this year.

The integration of immigrants presents a major challenge for policymakers in the United States. In an effort to improve integration, several US states recently have implemented laws that provide driver’s licenses to unauthorized immigrants. These new laws have sparked widespread debate, but we lack evidence on the traffic safety impact of these policies. We examine the short-term effects of the largest-scale policy shift, California’s Assembly Bill 60 (AB60), under which more than 600,000 licenses were issued in the first year of implementation in 2015 alone. We find that, contrary to concerns voiced by opponents of the law, AB60 has had no discernible short-term effect on the number of accidents. The law primarily allowed existing unlicensed drivers to legalize their driving. We also find that, although AB60 had no effect on the rate of fatal accidents, it did decrease the rate of hit and run accidents, suggesting that the policy reduced fears of deportation and vehicle impoundment. Hit and run behaviors often delay emergency assistance, increase insurance premiums, and leave victims with significant out of pocket expenses. Overall, the results suggest that AB60 provides an example of how states can facilitate the integration of immigrants while creating positive externalities for the communities in which they live.

The Impact

Abstract. Effective disaster management is a core feature for the protection of communities against natural disasters such as floods. Disaster management organizations (DMOs) are expected to contribute to ensuring this protection. However, what happens when their resources to cope with a flood are at stake or the intensity and frequency of the event exceeds their capacities? Many cities in the Free State of Saxony, Germany, were strongly hit by several floods in the last years and are additionally challenged by demographic change, with an ageing society and out-migration leading to population shrinkage in many parts of Saxony. Disaster management, which is mostly volunteer-based in Germany, is particularly affected by this change, leading to a loss of members. We propose an agent-based simulation model that acts as a "virtual lab" to explore the impact of various changes on disaster management performance. Using different scenarios we examine the impact of changes in personal resources of DMOs, their access to operation relevant information, flood characteristics as well as differences between geographic regions. A loss of DMOs and associated manpower caused by demographic change has the most profound impact on the performance. Especially in rural, upstream regions population decline in combination with very short lead times can put disaster management performance at risk.

In modern conditions, the issue of liquidity and solvency of the enterprise is very relevant. And effective management of liquidity and solvency of the enterprise is the allocation of resources that allow you to convert assets into cash in the short term. In order to increase the efficiency of solvency management, it is necessary to constantly analyze and objectively assess its level. The solvency of the enterprise is determined to be able to repay short-term liabilities in a timely manner and continue to operate through current assets. Therefore, the solvency of an enterprise can be attributed to the fact that the amount of current assets exceeds current liabilities. Identify a system of financial indicators that affect the solvency of the enterprise and conduct a comprehensive scientific analysis on the example of the enterprise. During the analysis period, it is possible to identify the factors that affect the loss of solvency of the enterprise, respectively, to organize countermeasures, as well as to organize an optimal financial model of the company to increase solvency. The stability of the company's financial indicators also affects the borrowed capital. If an enterprise has more financial attractiveness, its capabilities increase. However, there is an increase in its financial risk. Because the company may threaten the preliminary loss of debts. It is necessary to optimize the inventory of goods intended for the sale of finished products and control the consumption of material resources of the enterprise in the process of providing services, manufacturing products and performing work. In the case of timely payment for services provided by the enterprise (rejection of low-income customers and consumers), it is necessary to develop measures that ensure the possibility of individual impact on the consumer, depending on his ability to pay.

The paper analyses the economic impacts of China's re-emergence on Brazil, looking at both the direct effects of China on Brazil in terms of bilateral trade and investment flows and the indirect effects through increased competition in export markets for manufactured goods and higher world prices for primary commodities. Despite a surge in Chinese FDI in Brazil in 2010, the main driver of bilateral relations is trade. While bilateral trade has grown rapidly, the pattern that has emerged has given rise to concern because Brazil's exports are concentrated in a small number of primary products while imports from China are almost entirely of manufactured goods that are becoming more technologically sophisticated over time. Brazil has benefitted in the short term from the high prices of primary commodities (partly caused by growing Chinese demand), but has lost export markets to China in manufactures, contributing to the “primarization” of the country's export basket.
