Objective: Evaluate the trend of dietary convergence in the world. How specifically do Indian and Chinese diets have changed and middle-class consumption and evaluate their dietary trend? Methodology: The paper analyses the diet patter of India and China from 1990 to 2019. The paper is particularly keen to analyse the impact of income, urbanization and proportion of the young population on diet pattern. The data of food balance for these two countries is taken from FAOSTAT. To measure the income effect, the GNP per capita data is taken from World Bank. The population and urbanization data is taken from UN world population prospects 2019 and UN world urbanization prospects 2018. The linear regression model is used to analyse the impact of socio-economic factors. Results: The analysis has found that rise in income is positively associated with the macronutrients diet for Indians particularly for carbohydrates consumption whereas for Chinese the reverse is true. The study found that urbanization of the population is highly positively associated with the consumption of carbohydrates diet for Chinese whereas, for India, urbanization is negatively associated with fat consumption. The change in young age population negatively impacts the fat consumption for China while positively impact the consumption of carbohydrates for Indians.Conclusion: The gap between dietary pattern is found to be reduced globally. Consumption of many food groups shows convergence for a different region. The consumption of macronutrients between India and China from 1990 to 2019 shows the converging trend in the early 1990s but after that, it shows divergence. In both countries, socio-economic factors push more toward carbohydrates diets.

The number of Internet users around the world has been steadily growing and this growth has provided the impetus and the opportunities for global and regional e-commerce. However, as with the Internet, different characteristics (infrastructure and socio-economic) of the local environment have created a significant level of variation in the acceptance and growth of e-commerce in different regions of the world. Our research focuses on the impact of these infrastructure and socio-economic factors on e-commerce development in China and the findings provide insights into the role of culture in e-commerce, and the factors that may impact a broader acceptance and development of e-commerce in China. In this chapter, we present and discuss our findings, and propose some strategies for success for e-commerce in China.

Why are some countries successful with e-commerce while others flounder? This chapter is an update of an earlier research study that the authors conducted to analyze the impact of technology, cultural, and socio-economic factors on the global diffusion of e-commerce. The general thesis of this chapter is that cultural and socio-economic factors in addition to technology were the reasons for the growth of e-commerce within countries. There had been no prior studies that combined the aggregate effects of cultural, socio-economic, and technology factors on e-commerce diffusion. While technology could solely contribute to Internet surfing, culture and socio-economic factors can be pivotal in bridging the gap between Internet usage and e-commerce diffusion. The objective of this research is to provide a model that quantified the aggregated influences of technology, culture, and socio-economic factors on global e-commerce diffusion. In terms of methodology, a cross-country regression model was used to analyze the determinants of e-commerce diffusion and the results provide evidence that the propensity for e-commerce growth can be explained by these factors. The results were aimed at providing firms with a greater understanding of strategies to employ while implementing e-commerce across the world. This paper revisits that publication to see if any changes in the factors have occurred.

Epidemiological Situation

Starting from December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has forcefully entered our lives and profoundly changed all the habits of the world population. The COVID-19 pandemic has violently impacted the European continent, first involving only some European countries, Italy in particular, and then spreading to all member states, albeit in different ways and times. The ways SARS-CoV-2 spreads are still partly unknown; to quantify and adequately respond to the pandemic, various parameters and reporting systems have been introduced at national and European levels to promptly recognize the most alarming epidemiological situations and therefore limit the impact of the virus on the health of the population. The relevant key points to implement adequate measures to face the epidemic include identifying the population groups most involved in terms of morbidity and mortality, identifying the events mostly related to the spreading of the virus and recognizing the various viral mutations. The main objective of this work is to summarize the epidemiological situation of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe and Italy almost a year after the first reported case in our continent. The secondary objectives include the definition of the epidemiological parameters used to monitor the epidemic, the explanation of superspreading events and the description of how the epidemic has impacted on health and social structures, with a particular focus on Italy.

The Impact

PurposeThe authors present the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on community lifelines. The state machinery has several departments to secure essential lifelines during disasters and epidemics. Many countries have formed national disaster management authorities to deal with manmade and natural disasters. Typical lifelines include food, water, safety and security, continuity of services, medicines and healthcare equipment, gas, oil and electricity supplies, telecommunication services, transportation means and education system. Supply chain systems are often affected by disasters, which should have alternative sources and routes. Doctors, nurses and medics are front-line soldiers against diseases during pandemics.Design/methodology/approachThe COVID-19 pandemic has revealed how much we all are connected yet unprepared for natural disasters. Political leaders prioritize infrastructures, education but overlook the health sector. During the recent pandemic, developed countries faced more mortalities, fatalities and casualties than developing countries. This work surveys the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health, energy, environment, industry, education and food supply lines.FindingsThe COVID-19 pandemic caused 7% reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during global lockdowns. In addition, COVID-19 has affected social fabric, behaviors, cultures and official routines. Around 2.84 bn doses have been administrated, with approximately 806 m people (10.3% of the world population) are fully vaccinated around the world to date. Most developed vaccines are being evaluated for new variants like alpha, beta, gamma, epsilons and delta first detected in the UK, South Africa, Brazil, USA and India. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all sectors in society, yet this paper critically reviews the impact of COVID-19 on health and energy lifelines.Practical implicationsThis paper critically reviews the health and energy lifelines during pandemic COVID-19 and explains how these essential services were interrupted.Originality/valueThis paper critically reviews the health and energy lifelines during pandemic COVID-19 and explains how these essential services were interrupted.

Poland is not one of the leaders in the use of renewable energy sources (RES), and most energy is still produced using hard coal and lignite. Therefore, there are noteworthy emissions of air pollution (including ashes and greenhouse gases), and the Polish energy sector is characterized by a substantial degree of carbonization, which, as a result, threatens to expressively increase the costs of electricity production, leading to financial penalties imposed by the EU. The aim of this paper is to analyze socio-economic factors influencing the development of the RES sector in Poland. According to this aim, expert research was carried out, in which the factors influencing development potential of RES were assessed at two levels (level II – 5 factors, level III – 15 factors) according to the factor tree analysis. Based on the analysis of the level II factors, it can be concluded that the development of the RES sector in Poland will depend to a decisive extent on factors such as: EU decisions and Polish legislation affecting the development of the RES sector in Poland, prices and availability of conventional energy carriers. Other two factors – regional policy on ecology and ecological awareness in Poland – have so far little impact on the development of this sector in the state. The analysis of the level III factors shows that the greatest impact on the development of the RES sector in Poland is the influence of European lobbying of manufacturers of machinery and equipment for renewable energy production on EU law, the impact of Polish lobbying of conventional energy producers on Polish law in the production of renewable energy and the influence of European lobbying of renewable energy producers into EU law.
