Abstract. CV. X is a textile company that manufactures sarong, napkin rags and other fabric materials. The core production process is carried out by the company with several process elements carried out by the company's business partners (subcontract). The fabrication process of a sarong product is carried out with a semi-automatic machine that is operated by an operator with some process elements that are carried out by a conventional operator. Based on the identification of work risks using the Quick Exposure Checklist (QEC) questionnaire, that operator works in a limited body posture condition so as to produce a score of more than 50% and the need for action in the near future. These results indicate how high this risks experienced by finishing work station operators. The condition of the operator working in a folded or squatting sitting position, forearm reach, dynamic hand movements plus limited operator motion because sitting without proper facilities is a major problem. If this is not treated as soon as possible it can have a negative impact on the operator such as physical fatigue, decreased operator performance to skeletal muscle injury (mosquletal disorder). Quick Exposure Checklist show that the occupational risk level of work is at level 3 (three) which shown a high score level that action is needed as soon as possible to minimize the risk of work. The proposed action to minimize the risk is to design an ergonomic work facility in accordance with the needs of the operator at the finishing work station using the Anthropometry method. Abstrak. CV. X merupakan perusahaan tekstil yang memproduksi kain sarung, lap serbet serta bahan kain lainnya. Proses produksi inti dilakukan oleh perusahaan dengan beberapa elemen proses yang dilakukan oleh mitra usaha perusahaan (subcont). Proses pabrikasi produk kain sarung dikerjakan dengan mesin-mesin semi otomatis yang dioperasikan operator dengan beberapa elemen proses yang dikerjakan operator secara konvensional. Berdasarkan identifikasi dan observasi resiko kerja menggunakan kuesioner Quick Exposure Checklist (QEC), operator bekerja pada kondisi postur tubuh yang terbatas sehingga menghasilkan hasil skor lebih dari 50% dan diperlukannya tindakan dalam waktu dekat. Hasil ini menunjukan besarnya resiko kerja yang dialami operator stasiun kerja finishing. Kondisi operator yang bekerja pada posisi duduk terlipat maupun jongkok, jangkauan tangan kedepan, pergerakan tangan yang dinamis ditambah terbatasnya gerak operator karena duduk tanpa ditunjang fasilitas yang layak menjadi faktor masalah utama. Jika hal ini tidak ditangani sesegera mungkin dapat mengakibatkan dampak negatif terhadap operator seperti kelelahan fisik, penurunan kinerja operator hingga cedera otot rangka (mosquletal disorder). Hasil penilaian resiko kerja Quick Exposure Checklist menunjukkan bahwa level resiko kerja pekerjaan berada pada level 3 (tiga) yang menunjukan level skor tinggi sehingga perlu dilakukannya tindakan dalam waktu dekat guna meminimasi besarnya resiko kerja. Tindakan yang diusulkan guna meminimasi resiko tersebut yaitu dengan merancang fasilitas kerja yang ergonomis sesuai dengan kebutuhan operator pada stasiun kerja finishing dengan menggunakan metode Antropometri.

AbstractFace masks are currently considered essential devices that people must wear today and in the near future, until the COVID-19 pandemic will be completely defeated through specific medicines and vaccines. Such devices are generally made of thermoplastic polymers, as polypropylene and polyethylene and are single use products. Even if in this period the sanitary emergency must have the maximum priority, the world society should not completely forget the environmental problem that are causing more and more obvious climate changes with correlated damages to ecosystems and human health. Despite the well-known correlation among anti-COVID protective equipment (or more generally medical devices) and environmental issues, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and eco-design-based studies in this field is very scarce. The present study aims to derive the most important environmental criticalities of such products, by using LCA and product circularity indicators of five different common masks. The final aim is to provide eco-design guidelines, useful to design new face masks by preventing negative impact on the environment.

The aim of our study was to analyze whether the increase in the use of renewable energy can help GDP growth. The research carried out shows that renewable energy has the ability to decrease or neutralize the negative impact of greenhouse gases (GHG), but also to maintain economic growth. We focused our analysis on the EU-28 as we know that the EU Commission’s aim, in the near future, is to join forces to reduce the GHG used and move to renewable sources. We used a panel analysis with data between 2000 and 2019 from all Member States, and our results showed that their economic growth is influenced positively by the production of renewable energy, the GHG per capita, and the GHG intensity per GDP.

Corporate Social

In modern conditions, the social component of business is becoming increasingly important both for organizations and for society as a whole, since, as many years of experience show, those enterprises that develop their socially-oriented activities are more trusted by the state, investors, counterparties, creditors and other business partners. The social responsibility of business helps minimize the negative impact of the enterprise's production activities, the formation of an atmosphere of trust, predictability and common values in society, thanks to which, business becomes economically and socially more sustainable. In this regard, relevant issues are related to the assessment of the level of social responsibility of the enterprise, determining the main directions of social development of companies. The economic essence of the concept “corporate social responsibility” has been studied and specified in the article, the main directions of the corporate social responsibility of business assessment are examined. For a comprehensive assessment of corporate social responsibility, a system of indicators is proposed that takes into account its following components: the development and implementation of human resources, the formation of environmental sustainability and the implementation of socially significant projects.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how tension management as a means of achieving compromise and overcoming minor conflicts reduces the effects of the opportunism and bargaining costs of relationships on the evaluation of business partners. The paper proposes and tests a theoretical model with a full-information approach using structural equation modeling. Design/methodology/approach The data set was based on 312 observations from a unique survey based on a business-to-business relationship sample in Sweden. The measurements reflect the effects of partner opportunism, bargaining costs, and tension management on partner evaluations. Findings The findings corroborate that partner opportunism and bargaining costs have a negative impact on partner evaluation. In addition, the model shows that tension management weakens the negative effects of opportunism and bargaining costs on the evaluation. Originality/value This study offers evidence on how negative effects are reduced through intervening constructs. With most studies focusing on the positive side of relationships, this paper makes an important contribution to the literature through not only describing negative effects, but also how these can be decreased.

Purpose The authors point out that the existing research confuses the operational liabilities formed based on the “transaction” relationship with the financial liabilities formed based on the “investment” relationship, which not only exaggerates the value of leverage but also underestimates the level of protection that companies provide for creditors alone. That is, the confusion of concepts not only triggers the problem of leverage misestimate but also triggers the short-term financial risk misestimate. The performance of “nominal leverage” and “nominal short-term solvency” based on total assets calculation cannot reflect the real leverage level and the real short-term financial risk of enterprises. Design/methodology/approach To distinguish the concepts of “assets” and “capital” and rationalize the relationship between “transactions” and “investments”, authors systematically design the “real leverage” indicators and “real short-term solvency” indicators, and measure the degree of misestimate of leverage and short-term financial risk indicators by traditional research. On this basis, this paper describes and analyses the trends of leveraged misestimate and short-term financial risk misestimate of listed companies in China and analyses which companies have more serious leverage misestimate. And it helps readers to form an objective understanding of the leveraged misestimate and short-term financial risk misestimate of listed companies in China. Findings Firstly, the overall high level of leverage of listed companies in China in the traditional sense is largely because of the misestimate of indicators. And this kind of misestimate is more serious among firms that have advantages in trading, such as state-owned enterprises and firms with higher market shares. Secondly, for most firms with normal solvency, traditional research systematically overestimated the negative impact of “nominal leverage” on financial risk indicators (represented by short-term solvency). The overestimation is significant in firms with serious leverage misestimate. Thirdly, indicators’ misestimate of the traditional research makes the banks cannot make effective credit decisions according to the firm's “real leverage” and “real short-term solvency”. Originality/value Firstly, clarify the differences between the concepts of “assets” and “capital”, and clarify the level of “real leverage” of listed companies in China, which is conducive to the process of “de-leveraging”. Secondly, revise the problem of misestimate of related indicators, so that financial institutions can clearly identify the true profitability and real risk level of the entity domain, and thus improve the effectiveness of credit decisions.

AbstractThis paper examines how marine biodiversity and genetic resources in the high seas can be protected and whether their exploitation should be regulated. As to their protection, it raises the question whether existing sectoral approaches should continue or to create a new mechanism based on an integrated approach. In accordance with the European Union's position, the latter is favoured, while acknowledging that several States still have reservations and question the need for new legal instruments. Concerning the necessity of a regulatory scheme governing their exploitation, existing mechanisms under the Law of the Sea Convention and the Convention on Biological Diversity are examined and it is concluded that they are not applicable or do not provide for specific rules on this issue. It is further presumed that the resulting absence of a clear framework is acceptable because the potential of commercial exploitation is still uncertain, so that there will only be scientific research without vital negative impact on the marine environment in the near future. It is suggested that the international community should rather focus on defining the legal status of genetic resources and clarifying whether they belong to the common heritage of mankind and require a benefit-sharing system, as proposed by developing countries.

Abstract In the context of global climate change and rapid urbanization, the risk of urban waterlogging is one of the main climate risks faced by the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) urban agglomeration. In this study, we obtain the urban waterlogging risk index of the BTH urban agglomeration and assess waterlogging risks in the built-up area of the BTH for two time periods (1961–1990 and 1991–2019). We analyze the economic and social data as well as the climate data from 149 meteorological observation stations in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei provinces and consider the hazard, exposure, and vulnerability factors. The results showed that for the two time periods considered, the areas with the lowest (Level-1) waterlogging risk have decreased by nearly 50%, and the second-lowest (Level-2) ones have increased by nearly 55%. Although the areas at Level-3 and above have decreased by 17%, the variations in each city were quite different. Among them, the areas at Level-3 have increased by 52% and 51% in Beijing and Handan, respectively. During the years 1991–2019, the areas at Level-3 risk and above were mainly found in Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Qinhuangdao, Handan, and Xingtai. Among them, Beijing had the highest waterlogging risk index. In particular, the areas with Level-3 risk and above have increased by 76% in the past 30 years. The areas with the highest risk level (Level-4) of waterlogging in Beijing were mostly found in the downtown areas (Haidian, Chaoyang, Dongcheng, and Xicheng districts). This study provides a scientific background for urban waterlogging risk management and implementation of the national strategy for the development of the BTH region.

The realization of the package of measures directed at the consecutive decrease of the negative effect of hazardous chemical and biological factors on the population and environment to the acceptable risk level stipulates the development of standard legal regulation in the field of ensuring the chemical and biological safety. For this purpose article presents substantiation and conceptual approaches to the creation of legislation in the field of the chemical and biological security of the Russian Federation within the pursued state policy. In determination of conceptual approaches, in the article there are reported: the main idea, the purpose, a subject of legal regulation, the circle of people who will be subjected to the laws, the place offuture laws in the system of current legislation, the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Federal backbone laws of the Russian Federation to realization of which laws are directed, there is given the general characteristic and an assessment of a condition of legal regulation in this field, results of the analysis of the information on the need for correspondence of Russian laws to provision of international treaties, concerning prohibitions of the biological and chemical weapon, safe handling with biological agents and chemicals, and also the development of uniform procedures of ensuring chemical and biological safety. The major aspect in the shaping of the legislation is the global character ofproblems of chemical and biological safety in this connection in article there is indicated the need of rapprochement of rules of law for this area with partners in economic cooperation and integration. Taking into account an orientation of future laws on the decrease in the level of the negative impact of dangerous chemical and biological factors on the population and environment, there are designated medical, social, economic and political consequences of their implementation. There are presented the proposed structure for bills: “About biological safety”, “On Chemical Safety” and “On the National collection of pathogens.
