In order to assess the state of affairs in a region with account for the economic, socio-demographic and environmental aspects, to find out the causes of backwardness, and to work out ameliorating measures, it is reasonable to regard each administrative-territorial unit (ATU) as an integral socio-environmentally-economic system (SEES). ATUs in the Nizhegorodskaya Oblast were chosen to evaluate the suggested approach to integral analysis of SEES conditions and developmental degree. The approach implies calculating the values of the generalized desirability function (GDF) and their assessment using principal components and SWOT analyses. The calculated GDF values for the years 2016–2018 made it possible to distinguish leaders and outsiders among ATUs. Among all ATUs, 78% fall into the two lower classes of GDF gradation, which means that conditions are poor there. The results were confirmed by statistical analysis and were interpreted analytically using SWOT analysis. The suggested methodology makes it possible to distinguish “pain spots” and “points of increase” and correct decision making aimed to promote sustainable development at a regional level.

Abstract The turn of the 20th century experienced an intensification of processes that strengthened Silesian identity, which became an important element of political debate in the region. This was reflected in the emergence of a growing number of entities that placed Silesian issues among their priority objectives and defined themselves as representatives of the interests of Silesia and Silesians. The aim of the study was to verify the political representative potential of groups in Upper Silesia. We accepted the hypothesis that the stronger the identity of a particular group (regional or national) the greater the probability that entities placing fundamental objectives strictly within the scope of regional issues should enjoy broad support in the region, and such entities consequently should be perceived as political representatives of the group. A study conducted using the categorized interview method (N=54) proves quite clearly that Silesians are unable to identify entities on the regional political scene that could represent them sufficiently. The determinants of this state of affairs are found not only in the negative actions of political entities but also in the absence of a clear vision of representation, which could constitute a basis for the formulated expectations of Silesians.

Despite the plethora of research on projective techniques, no firm conclusion has yet been reached concerning their validity. Although this current state of affairs is in part a function of strong personal biases “for” and “against” the worth of projectives, much of the confusion seems to have been perpetuated by the unsystematic approach which characterizes out attempts to conceptualize the “validity” of various projective techniques. Because of the multidimensional nature of projective methods, we need to ask specific questions concerning their validity—each question focusing on a particular use to which the method has been put (e.g., its validity as a measure of anxiety, hostility, homosexuality, etc.). Only in this way can we set off the validity limits of the various projective techniques.

Abstract The objective of this study was to analyse the differences in tactical principles, decision-making and execution of the return shot and drop shot of squash players at different levels of proficiency. The sample was composed of 80 players, divided into four levels of expertise (first national category, second national category, autonomous regional level and provincial level). The Squash Performance Evaluation Tool was used for recording the level of decision-making and execution. The results revealed that reading of the context of the game improved as the level of the player’s expertise of both the return shot and the drop shot increased. The correlation between correct decision-making and better quality execution for both the return shot and the drop shot in squash also improved with the player’s level of expertise. According to these results, improvements in situational tactical principles and the application of tactical principles, correct decision-making and high-quality execution are essential to develop the athletic performance level among squash players.

Comparing diversified agri-environmental (AE) collective schemes in their capability to provide AE public goods faces great challenges, mostly because of their diversified nature and relatively new way to approach the provision of AE public goods. The state of the art is that there are not yet any common quantitative indicators or data to build a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model to compare it with other practices and to set the strategic plan for the scheme’s improvement. Nevertheless, some qualitative common data of SWOT analyses are available, but the question remains how to simultaneously compare several SWOT analyses in an MCDM model. This study introduces a new way of transforming the qualitative results of SWOT analyses to fit in the MCDM Decision Expert (DEX) model using a special transformation technique SWOT scorecard. The SWOT scorecard evaluates the importance of qualitative results of several SWOT analyses simultaneously in a quantitative way, describing with points how supportive the environment is to each criterion in the DEX model. The SWOT scorecard keeps track of the original results from SWOT analysis and considers the diversity of AE schemes, which results in an appearance of the convergence points. This gives a key for comparing the AE collective schemes in providing AE public goods. Furthermore, it gives a solution for discussing the synergy between aspects that affect AE public goods provision for every AE scheme investigated. The technique is tested via five AE collective schemes in the DEXi program and gives deeper insight into factors that affect each scheme’s performance.

AbstractThe development of technology has been increasing rapidly thus almost all aspects of humans are supported by technology and electronic equipment. More electronic wastes are produced, but those could not be managed similar to the conventional wastes and do not have the same characteristics as hazardous wastes as regulated in the Basel Convention 1989 so that the Convention cannot be applied to electronic wastes management optimally. In this present time, there are still no instruments in international law regarding the management of electronic wastes, but the international community has begun to discuss this issue and argue that it is necessary to develop regulations in international and regional levels, especially in the ASEAN region. The analysis and conclusions of this research shows that the Basel Convention cannot optimally accommodate the regulation of electronic wastes management and it is necessary to establish a regulation in the form of a mechanism under the Basel Convention 1989 with regard to environmental aspects. Arrangements at the ASEAN regional level should be made by referring to the principles regulated in the mechanism and formed in a coordinative and non-coercive guideline. Keywords: e-waste, e-waste management, environmental protection   AbstrakTeknologi semakin berkembang hampir semua aspek kehidupan manusia telah didukung oleh teknologi dengan peralatan elektronik. Produksi sampah elektronik semakin banyak, namun mereka tidak dapat dikelola seperti sampah konvensional dan juga tidak sepenuhnya memiliki karakteristik yang sama seperti sampah B3 yang telah diatur dalam Konvensi Basel 1989 sehingga Konvensi tidak dapat diterapkan pada pengelolaan sampah elektronik secara optimal. Saat ini, belum ada instrumen dalam hukum internasional mengenai pengelolaan sampah elektronik, namun masyarakat internasional sudah mulai membahas isu ini dan perlu adanya untuk mengembangkan peraturan di tingkat internasional dan regional, khususnya di ASEAN. Analisis dan kesimpulan penelitian ini memperlihatkan pengaturan dalam Konvensi Basel 1989 tidak dapat mengakomodasi secara optimal mengenai pemanfaatan sampah elektronik sehingga perlu dibuat suatu peraturan berupa mekanisme di bawah Konvensi Basel 1989 dengan memperhatikan aspek-aspek lingkungan. Pengaturan di tingkat regional ASEAN dapat dibuat dengan mengacu pada prinsip-prinsip yang diatur dalam mekanisme tersebut namun dibentuk berupa panduan yang lebih koordinatif dan tidak memaksa.

In the Slovak Republic, all libraries (regional, district, municipal and municipal, including branches) are considered to be public libraries. The Higher Territorial Unit (HTU) establishes a regional library as a legal entity operating in the territory of several municipalities, and also serves as a municipal library in its seat. The HTU shall designate a selected regional library that shall perform the function of a regional library with regional competences. The regional library may, in agreement with municipalities, provide library and also information services to users through a mobile library. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the position of regional public libraries through selected indicators in the time period 2009-2018 in the Slovak Republic. The data for the analysis were obtained from the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic, and they were afterwards processed in MS Excel. The analysis showed that the number of regional libraries with regional competences has not changed during the analysis period. And also the total number of regional libraries of the analysed time period did not change. We see changes in the funding of public libraries. Transfers of HTU created, on average, 54% on total transfers of public libraries and it represented, on average, 10.8 thous.€.

In the context of the modern economic processes development at the regional level, such an aspect as regional competitiveness plays an extremely important role. To quantify the competitiveness of the regions of the Russian Federation, 10 subjects were taken. A comparative analysis was carried out on the basis of 35 indicators divided into 7 blocks depending on factor affiliation. The result of the analysis is the ranking of the considered regions of the Russian Federation in terms of competitiveness.The quantitative analysis carried out in conjunction with a qualitative assessment based on the SWOT analysis allows us to create a relatively clear picture of the competitiveness ratio of individual Russian regions, the main characteristic of which is their rather strong differentiation, due to the geoeconomic features already mentioned above. One can use the successful experience of countries such as Canada, China and Ireland in the formation of directions considered in this paper for increasing the competitiveness of regions.
