Crisis Situations

According to the World Disasters Report from 2018, 3,751 natural disasters occurred in previous ten years, which affected 2 billion people, and according to the United Nations report, 134 million people required help. COVID-19 pandemic revealed the unpreparedness of humanity for the global catastrophe, and in the first six months of the pandemic, 50 million people faced the consequences of more than a hundred disasters classified as catastrophes. In this paper we aimed to determine which competencies of pharmacists are necessary, as well as to analyze existing and possible options of pharmacists' involvement in the healthcare team, as well as pharmacists' contribution to the healthcare system in crisis situations. In crisis situations, the pharmacist, in addition to traditional, performs a wide range of non-traditional activities. They include drug and medical device supply management, participation in providing emergency medical care, patient care, supervision of therapy, immunization, but also in establishing crisis management policy and implementing adopted principles. The involvement of pharmacists in humanitarian work is still insufficient, although progress has been made. The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly opened a new chapter in the development of pharmaceutical profession, which will certainly significantly change after the current crisis, along with other professions. Active involvement of pharmacists in healthcare teams is necessary in order to optimally use their expertise, and they themselves to gain experience. In future, this would enable the formation of good practice standards and improving the outcomes of humanitarian or public health missions.

The article highlights the features of the current crisis of Ukrainian confectionery companies. It is noted that in the local confectionery market among domestic and private entrepreneurs there is strong internal competition. It is substantiated that the high probability of occurrence and development of the crisis in the process of activity necessitates the implementation of specialized anti-crisis management of these enterprises. The functions of anti-crisis management are determined and their essence is revealed. The basic tools of diagnostics are offered. Special attention is paid to controlling and monitoring as elements of system of anti-crisis management. The necessity of a comprehensive approach to the formation of the crisis management mechanism and its construction using the system of analysis of hazards and critical control points of HACCP and quality indicators of confectionery at critical control points (CTC) is substantiated. It is proved that such an approach will ensure the harmonization of the interests of participants in the creation, manufacture and sale of confectionery products.

In order to promote the development of crisis management in large-scale public buildings, to make solutions for the insufficient crisis management ,poor implementation and other issues. Crisis strategy evaluation system of large public buildings is proposed through the use of literature research and coding method from the perspective of their own. Three dimensions of 16 evaluations are proposed ,including basic security strategy, risk strategy of emergency response, recovery strategy in the hole life cycle of crisis management. In this section, the research and the calculation method are given, and to determine the index weight by expert investigation method. In order to make clear our strengths and weaknesses when facing emergencies through scientific and reasonable evaluation of current crisis management evaluation strategy. Such is so helpful to improve the theory of crisis management of large public buildings in the application and optimizing risk management, and so is to provid a more complete and effective decision basis for the crisis management strategy of large public buildings when facing emergencies.

SummaryWith troubles in the European Monetary Union (EMU) showing great persistence, the emergency measures and ad-hoc crisis management of European authorities has been subject to harsh criticism. The current fierce debate among economists and the broad public has given rise to two camps advocating fundamentally different approaches how to exit the sustained crisis. While according to the Integrationists′ view, the only viable way to get rid of pressing debt problems and to restore confidence in the Euro area lies in a common guarantee for national debt obligations, so-called Minimalists advocate a strict return to the cornerstones of the Maastricht Treaty, in particular strict compliance with the debt and deficit limits laid out by the Treaty as well as a credible application of the ‚no-bail-out‘ rule. However, in their pure form, both strategies do not serve for a timely and effective crisis management as they either require a level of supranational integration that - given the still prevalent Westphalian order - cannot be attained in the short run nor is it on the agenda of European policy, or essentially deny the significant flaws within the EMU architecture that failed to prevent current fiscal woes.The current crisis management of European authorities has followed neither of the two extremes but has taken a viable middle-of-the-road approach that resulted in useful and necessary repairs to the institutional architecture of the Euro area, most notably the establishment of the commonly guaranteed stability mechanisms EFSF and ESM as well as the first steps taken towards a European banking union. Hence, in contrast to most observers, we argue that the European authorities, by operating a prudent stepby- step approach, are on the right track towards solving the current crisis. As a result, European Central Bank could move back to its original approach of monetary policy.

Crisis Situations

Events related to climate change and the increase in the occurrence of natural disasters, as well as the increasing incidence of new diseases, have all caused the prominence of regional security and crisis management around the world to rise. Three-dimensional printing, which has seen noteworthy developed in recent years, both in terms of print parameters, and the magnitude of the production potential, may prove helpful in this matter. Enormous opportunities have arisen which, if properly directed, can save human life and preserve health in crisis situations, when traditional supply chains could be disrupted or even prevented. The use of additive technologies, however, has its limitations and in order to be able to take full advantage of the opportunities they offer, a legitimate functional system should be created and embedded within proper structures to support crisis management. This paper presents the advantages and disadvantages of using 3D printers and the possibility of their implementation as part of the current crisis-response systems. The article proposes a model for incorporating additive technologies into the crisis-management system.

Based on reflections on how economic crises under capitalism have been typically “solved”, particularly by examining processes of creative destruction and spatial fixes, this paper argues for the need to rethink the duality between austerity, and Keynesian crisis management, given the nature of the current economic crisis. Austerity is a key policy instrument of neoliberalism. Keynesianism is regarded as neoliberalism's antithesis. Conventionally understood, continued austerity would mean more post-Fordist and neoliberal geographies, while a Keynesian approach would mean more demand management. This paper argues that such a conclusion is over-simplistic, indeed incorrect. Crisis management inspired by Keynes is less concerned with the destructive parts of crises and seldom challenges the power of capital. Therefore, Keynesian crisis management risks reproducing neoliberal spaces and neoliberal urban and regional policies. This paper questions whether Keynesian crisis management — i.e. boosting aggregate demand during slumps — is a “solution” to the current crisis. The paper questions Keynesianism in its belief, for example, that climate change can be stopped within a framework that still perpetuates, and advocates for, compound economic growth. The paper concludes by arguing for the need to see beyond Keynesianism, and explores what a Marxist approach to spatial fix and creative destruction might mean.

Mind the gap: From recommendation to practice in crisis management. Exploring the gap between the “lessons identified” during exercise cygnus and the UK government response to COVID-19

The failure to learn lessons from crises is a common observation. The UK Government has been criticized for its response to the COVID-19 crisis. Many critics have highlighted the Government’s apparent failure to learn the lessons from Exercise Cygnus, which made recommendations to improve the UK’s response to a pandemic. This article compares and contrasts the UK Government’s response with the exercise recommendations. It critiques the gaps using current crisis management literature and argues that to avoid future failings, more emphasis is needed on the effectiveness of recommendations from exercises. If this is not done, exercise lessons identified, and their recommendations will not be operationalized. This article argues that the successful transition from policy recommendation to practice requires recommendations to be contextualized, so they are feasible and practical, before they can be institutionalized. It introduces a practical framework and organizational actions on how future exercises can close the gap from lessons identified to be learned and shape practice.

The chapter focuses on the relation between the economic crisis and competitiveness on a national and regional dimension. The Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) have experienced one of the biggest GDP contractions during the Global Crisis so far. Hence, identifying and assessing changes in the relative competitiveness as a consequence of the economic downturn has sparked many interests. The international competitiveness and economic crisis intermingle with one another. The international cases selected for the purpose of this research (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) were to demonstrate clear and unquestionable evidence that crisis affects the international competitiveness of countries. One may believe that such a deep and painful financial and economic crisis as the current one—in the case of the Baltics—has to leave some permanent and explicit traces on a country's competitiveness. Thus, the results of this research may surprise a little. It may be generally concluded that a short-term crisis, even if severe, does not have a negative long-term influence on the international competitiveness as long as a proper anti-crisis policy is implemented. Sharing a number of structural, institutional, and performance features caused the crisis to undermine the competitiveness of the Baltic States in a similar manner (through macroeconomic stability channel). This in turn caused the applying of an analogue crisis management policy with the fundamental tool of fiscal policy tightening by an increased downward flexibility of wages and prices.
