This article seeks to explain the local business behavior of middlemen entrepreneurs engaged in global-level capitalism. Following the trajectory of one commodity, chile, this case illustrates the cultural dynamics articulated by Mexican middlemen in business transactions, tying peasant producers to transnational capital and global markets. La Maroma, a logic of strategy, illuminates the financial manipulation, balance, and control used in coping with large capital expenditures in a transnational market system.

The global financial crisis of 2008-09 has stimulated a number of re-assessments of global development. But after two years, not much progress has been made in dealing with the deep causes of the crisis. While it is better understood now why the crisis occurred, more progress is needed in terms of financial reform on the global level in order to prevent future financial crises. A remaining challenge is to strengthen the global financial architecture (GFA). This paper focuses on the GFA and its relationship to the global financial crisis. Recent reform initiatives are discussed. Strong resistance against re-regulation of the financial sector is noted, reflecting the general opposition of vested interests to GFA reform.

The article discusses the process of designing office work in the field of accounting for goods and equipment of objects of hotel and restaurant facilities. It is noted that it is one of the elements in the safety of tourism activities and a necessary component of the competitiveness of any enterprise operating in market conditions. It is noted that inadequate information on all possible directions of movement of purchased and manufactured goods leads to ineffective management decisions and deterioration of the enterprise. Therefore, there is a need for effective design of the accounting of goods and equipment in their information support. This will ensure the consistency and relationship of indicators of accounting registers; will provide information of the required level of detail and generalization, to meet the needs of management. The complexity of the construction of the accounting process for the objects of the hotel and restaurant economy is highlighted for the purpose of effective accounting and successful management of stocks of goods. To improve organizational support and design an effective system for documenting the accounting of goods and equipment of objects, an analysis of the directions of movement of goods and business transactions that arise in their process was carried out; the composition of accounting and control objects was clarified. In the hotel and restaurant industry, there are three main groups of business transactions related to the movement of goods: the receipt of placement and disposal of goods. In general, the organization of accounting for goods at the enterprise also includes three main stages: methodological, technical and organizational. At the same time, at all stages it is important to have timely primary accounting and a clear procedure for organizing the compilation and processing of primary documents, which is called the schedule of documents. There is a need to reflect the system of record keeping of goods in the Order on the accounting policy of the enterprise and its design given the rationality of accounting and the effectiveness of internal control to meet the information needs of owners at all stages of movement of goods.

Abstract In combat sports, athletes continuously co-adapt their behavior to that of the opponent. We consider this interactive aspect of combat to be at the heart of skilled performance, yet combat sports research often neglects or limits interaction between combatants. To promote a more interactive approach, the aim of this paper is to understand combat sports from the combined perspective of ecological psychology and dynamic systems. Accordingly, combat athletes are driven by perception of affordances to attack and defend. Two combatants in a fight self-organize into one interpersonal synergy, where the perceptions and actions of both athletes are coupled. To be successful in combat, performers need to manipulate and take advantage of the (in)stability of the system. Skilled performance in combat sports therefore requires brinkmanship: combatants need to be aware of their action boundaries and purposefully act in meta-stable regions on the limits of their capabilities. We review the experimental literature to provide initial support for a synergetic approach to combat sports. Expert combatants seem able to accurately perceive action boundaries for themselves and their opponent. Local-level behavior of individual combatants has been found to lead to spatiotemporal synchronization at the global level of a fight. Yet, a formal understanding of combat as a dynamic system starting with the identification of order and control parameters is still lacking. We conclude that the ecological dynamics perspective offers a promising approach to further our understanding of skilled performance in combat sports, as well as to assist coaches and athletes to promote optimal training and learning.

Salah   satu   keunikan   masyarakat   Madura   sampai   saat   ini   adalah   konsep   kobhung   yang   menjadi   tempat  penting  untuk  aktivitas  keagamaan  maupun  mengawasi  aktivitas  anggota  keluarga.  Walaupun  ada  fungsi  lain  yaitu  fungsi  ekonomi  maupun  sosial  yang  dimainkan  oleh  kobhung  tersebut.  Riset  ini  membahas  peran  kobhung  di  tengah  kebudayaan  Madura;  yang  posisinya  berada  di  sebelah  Barat  (kiblat) taneyanlanjheng (halaman panjang) di setiap permukiman  penduduk.  Ia  berfungsi  sebagai  pusat  aktivitas  laki-laki  (suami)  untuk  melakukan  transfer  nilai  religi  kepada  anak-anak  atau  isteri  mereka.  Di  sisi  lain,  ia  juga  sebagai  simbol  pengawasan  dan  kontrol (panopticon) keluar-masuk anggota keluarga, terutama laki-laki (suami) atas perempuan (istri). Hal ini terlegitimasi oleh tradisi patriarkal di masyarakat Madura   yang   tercermin   dalam   konsep   bhupa’, bhabhu,   ghuru,   rato   sangat   kental.   Konsep   ini   merupakan  sebuah  referential  standard  kepatuhan masyarakat Madura terhadap figur-figur utama secara  hirarkis. Oleh sebab itu, riset ini mengurai dinamika budaya  dan  upaya  istri  dalam  memposisikan  diri  mereka  di  tengah  budaya  patriarkhi.  Riset  ini  lebih  masuk   pada   jenis   kualitatif   fenomenologi   yang   meneropong   dinamika   relasi   suami-istri   tersebut   melalui peran kobhung. Koleksi data yang digunakan adalah  tehnik  interview  dan  observasi;  sedangkan  analisis  data  memakai  analisis  interaktif  Miles  dan  Hubermann. Riset ini menemukan bahwa perempuan di panagguan tidak bisa lepas dari konsep “tri aksi”, antara   lain:   adhandhan, arembi’,   dan   amassa’(merawat  diri,  melahirkan,  dan  memasak).  Konsep  ini  merupakan  wujud  dari  pengabdian  dirinya  atas  keluarga   yang   diyakini   sebagai   kodrat   (takdir).   Karenanya,  mereka  sama  sekali  tidak  menggugat;  bahkan  ia  menerima  dengan  lapang  dada  tentang  perannya di dalam rumah tangga. Kata Kunci: Kobhung, TaneyanLanjheng, Panoptikon   One of the uniqueness of the Madurese community until  now  is  the  concept  of  kobhung  which  has  become an important place for religious activities and oversees the activities of family members. Although there  are  other  functions,  namely  the  economic  and  social  functions  played  by  the  kobhung.  This  research   discusses   the   role   of   kobhung   among   Madura culture; whose position is in the west (qibla) taneyan lanjheng (long yard) in each residential area. It  functions  as  a  center  for  male  (husband)  activity  to  transfer  religious  values  to  their  children  or  their  wives.  On  the  other  hand  it  functions  as  a  symbol  of  supervision  and  control  (panopticon)  of  family  members,  especially  men  (husbands)  over  women  (wives). This is legitimized by the patriarchal tradition in the Madurese community which is reflected in the concepts  of  bhupa’,  bhabhu  ,  ghuru,  rato  that  was  very  thick.  This  concept  is  a  referential  standard  of  Madurese    compliance    with    hierarchical    main figures.  Therefore, this research outlines the cultural dynamics and the efforts of the wives in positioning themselves during patriarchal culture. This research is more into the qualitative type of phenomenology that  looks  at  the  dynamics  of  the  husband-wife  relationship  through  the  role  of  kobhung.  The  data  collection   used   was   interview   and   observation   techniques; while data analysis used the interactive analysis  by  Miles  and  Hubermann.  This  research  found that women in Panagguan cannot be separated from  the  concept  of  “three-action”,  among  others:  adhandhan,  arembi’,  and  amassa’  (taking  care  of  themselves, giving birth, and cooking). This concept is a manifestation of the devotion to the family which is  believed  to  be  natural  (destiny).  Therefore,  they  don’t sue at all; they even received gracefully about their role in the household.

Problems Of Translation

This chapter discusses the Arabic translation of Alexander Dumas's Count of Monte Crist. The Arabic translations of Cristo demonstrate that what Holt calls the “thick nexus of global finance and Arabic fiction” manifests itself above all as a problem of translation. Scenes of exchange necessarily invoke problems of translation, which in the context of nahḍa debates about the relative benefits of Arab and European cultures and economies puts special emphasis on what Lydia Liu has called “the meaning-value” of the sign. Especially in systems of exchange like global markets and literary translations, neither meaning nor value are intrinsic but are what Gayatri Spivak has called textual, in that they have no adequate literal referent. Fictions of connectivity like Monte Cristo, which focus on the global mobility of capital and bodies, are ideal places to see this instability in meaning-value. The Count is never only the Count, even in French. He is a vanishing semblance, always appearing in translation: Dantès, an English lord, and Sindbad the Sailor — himself an avatar of circulation — too. That Monte Cristo is a novel-length exploration of transnational circulation explains its singular popularity during the nahḍa's own world-making projects. The translations of Monte Cristo embed the economics of their literary relation with Europe into their techniques.

This chapter identifies cryptocurrencies and other virtual currencies as global currencies that could have a major impact on national jurisdictions. Regulation concerning cryptocurrencies can be described in the terms of the ‘double movement’ that Karl Polanyi identified for the expansion of the market society in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Cryptocurrencies have been developed by anti-establishment individuals and groups, and other opponents of the global financial system that—in Polanyi’s terms—belong to a collectivist counter-movement. The effect they have produced, though, is rather to expand global markets and the market system. This has spurred a counter-movement to the counter-movement, or what could be called the ‘anti-countermovement’. The response of the anti-countermovement to the expansion and influence of the global currencies is paradoxical, if not schizophrenic. The anti-countermovement treats global currencies both as currencies and as a technology. This has led to various regulatory measures in different jurisdictions. When viewed as currency, cryptocurrencies are regulated both as money and commodities, leading to an indifferent approach to their regulation or a command-and-control approach or various intermediate approaches. When viewed as a technology, different jurisdictions have taken an enabling approach to the regulation of cryptocurrencies by establishing ‘innovation hubs’ and ‘regulatory sandboxes’ for FinTech companies. This chapter concludes by discussing the dangers of embedding cryptocurrencies through enabling them, namely the problem of more finance, and possibly an internal clash of domestic agencies. The way to mitigate the dangers of embedding through enabling is by regulating the new cryptocurrency intermediaries.

Globalization including political, social and economic processes is frequently associated with multinational companies and investment, international trade and regionalism, global finance and money. While globalization process reduced activity and control of national governments on their economy and trade their place is substituted by international companies. The national economies on the other hand try to keep pace with the change in economic system by deregulating their international trade barriers via regional trade agreements and economic integrations. Based on the assumption that the globalization has liberalized their infrastructure of trade, this study investigates the balance of trade in the member countries of The Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC). The data is collected from international trade database of UNCTAD and globalization index of KOF Swiss Economic Institute. The variables are evaluated using panel data analysis and the results have shown that globalization has a significant impact on international trade and the globalization process had a positive effect on the liberalization of trade in the member countries of the BSEC.

Soil being considered as a resource at anyone's disposal in quantities at its discretion, so there is currently no interest from economicagents to recover and use it efficiently. At the global level, both law and NGOs increasingly require ongoing land use monitoring for thepurpose of soil conservation, requiring studies, field and laboratory investigations, prevention, prevention and control projects, methods and techniques. The paper will focus on the analysis of chemical parameters and pollutants (pH, humus, SB, T, total content ofN. P, K, Ca, Mg, total Fe, Mn, Cu, Co, Ni, Pb, sulphites, nitrites, pesticides, complex hydrocarbons), the concentration of heavy metals(Cd, Hg, Zn, Pb) of the objectives in the Rovinari basin.
