The Impact

The article analyses the current state of agriculture industry in the Australian Union. It examines the impact of miscellaneous factors, such as natural disasters, climate conditions, the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the establishment of regional free trade regimes, as well as the degree of their implementation. The paper reveals the specificity of the entry of Australian agriculture products into the markets of China, South Korea and Japan along with the development of agriculture in Australia and the efforts made by the Australian government and business community to overcome the troubles the industry suffered from in 2018-2020. In the authors’ opinion, the growing tensions in trade and economic relations between the Australian Union and the PRC affect the overall situation of Australian agriculture. In its turn, this incentivizes Canberra to explore new sources of agriculture product sales and expand cooperation with other partners.

The Impact

The development and formation of export potential is a priority for development of the economy of many countries. Of particular importance to foreign trade activity is the export of products, goods, which affects the formation and development of socio-economic situation of the state, the region. Export policy becomes the basis for the formation of external and internal economic potential of the country, importance of which lies in the formation of «future» of the economy: establishment of priority areas, building and improvement of the export-economic relations. This article reflects the prospects for formation of the export-oriented model as a direction for increasing the export potential of the Khabarovsk territory forest complex. The main prospects for formation and development of exports of competitive products at the foreign markets are becoming the goal of economic policy of the Khabarovsk territory forest complex. The objectives of formation and development of competitive products’ export in foreign markets are: orientation of the main directions of development of the timber industry complex to support the business community; regulation of customs and tax policy; regulation of public administration in this area; establishment by the state authorities of priority areas in this area; development of programs and projects defining specific conditions and directions of development of the forest complex. The author, in this article, showed the priority directions for development of the Khabarovsk territory forest complex, identified ways to develop the export-oriented industries, showed the actions of the regional program, the level of development of the large-scale projects in the Khabarovsk territory forest complex, developed an export-oriented model as a way to increase the export potential of the region's forest complex. The essence of this model reflects the level of development of the investment climate of the region in the forest complex and the competitiveness of the products of the forest complex, focused on the domestic and foreign markets, in the impact of regional authorities on the level of formation of the export-oriented industries.

Scenario Approach

The article discusses the possibilities of applying the scenario approach to anti-crisis management in the short term. The object of the study is small business as the most affected business segment in the pandemic, which requires actions adequate to the current crisis situation within the framework of the formed set for the implementation of anti-crisis actions. This will reduce the impact of uncertainty and reduce the economic consequences of business interruptions or lower revenues, as well as design scenarios and corresponding strategies for overcoming the crisis or development strategies in order to renew the business in the long term after the crisis while maintaining control over the current situation, taking into account the requirements of a quick response. Scenarios are a useful tool for the innovation and business community anywhere, but in these difficult times they open up the mindset for positive and offensive action instead of defensive, threat-based behavior. The scenarios accommodated unexpected changes in the business environment.

The article is devoted to the construction of a model of interaction of economic entities using the method of project work of participants in the system “enterprise/employer-University – state” on the technological platform of the meta-University in the conditions of digitalization of the economy, which allows to increase the synergy effect of the interaction of the main institutional participants.In the context of the impact of digitalization processes on the transformation of behavioral models within the existing economic relations in the VUCA world, new requirements and ways of interaction of subjects of the triple helix model are considered. The article analyzes the main existing and prospective forms of cooperation between universities and business structures. The detailed description of barriers and difficulties on the way of digitalization of enterprises and scientific organizations is given.For employees of scientific and commercial enterprises in the conditions of digitalization and General increased uncertainty, recommendations are formulated for the choice of a behavior model that adapts their professional identity based on the principles of a proactive position and knowledge and skills at the intersection of different technological directions.Under the conditions of variability and uncertainty of the environment, a scientific problem has been identified, there is a high interest in collaboration between universities and businesses, but there is no mechanism that allows this interaction to be carried out with a high degree of efficiency.A set of mechanisms that help reduce the level of uncertainty is proposed, as well as a project method of interaction within the framework of the digital meta-University technology platform model is described.The article provides recommendations for the full implementation of human capital in the new technological conditions of economic and social development, in the so-called VUCA-world, which is characterized by the lack of a developed digital infrastructure, as well as a high level of transaction costs.A new approach is proposed, based on which participants will interact on the basis of shared access to information and digital resources and the ability to combine the development of innovative projects and training of personnel necessary to unite the University, enterprises and scientific organizations to reduce transaction, fixed and variable costs of participants in the process.

Abstract Large precipitation deficits observed during the 2001 austral summer over the southeast region of Brazil contributed to the worsening of the energy crisis that was occurring in the country, with unprecedented social and economic consequences. Reliable information on the beginning of the rainy season was essential for the Brazilian government to manage the energy crisis. The purpose of this study is to determine the rainy season in this region and to point out the risk of using outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) data to estimate the beginning of it. The results show that when OLR data are used the beginning and the end dates of the rainy season are wrongly anticipated and delayed, respectively. The present study aims to provide useful information for the management of the impact of adverse climate conditions such as the one in 2001 by basing the analysis on rainfall data instead of on OLR.

Levels Of Support

Existing research has consistently shown that perceptions of the potential economic consequences of Scottish independence are vital to levels of support for constitutional change. This paper attempts to investigate the mechanism by which expectations of the economic consequences of independence are formed. A hypothesised causal micro-level mechanism is tested that relates constitutional preferences to the existing skill investments of the individual. Evidence is presented that larger skill investments are associated with a greater likelihood of perceiving economic threats from independence. Additionally, greater perceived threat results in lower support for independence. The impact of uncertainty on both positive and negative economic expectations is also examined. While uncertainty has little effect on negative expectations, it significantly reduces the likelihood of those with positive expectations supporting independence. Overall, it appears that a general economy-wide threat is most significant, and it is conjectured that this stems a lack of information on macroeconomic governance credentials.

The Impact

The article analyzes the experience of the impact of the system of forest belts and mineral fertilizers on the yield of spring wheat, including on irrigated lands. Vegetation irrigation is designed to maintain the humidity of the active soil layer from germination to maturation at the lower level of the optimum-70-75%, and in the phases of tubulation-earing - flowering - 75-80% NV. However, due to the large differences in zones and microzones of soil and climate conditions and due to the weather conditions of individual years, wheat irrigation regimes require a clear differentiation. In the Volga region in the dry autumn rainfalls give the norm of 800-1000 m3/ha, and in saline soils – 1000-1300 and 3-4 vegetation irrigation at tillering, phases of booting, earing and grain formation the norm 600-650 m3/ha. the impact of the system of forest belts, mineral fertilizers on the yield of spring wheat is closely tied to the formation of microclimate at different distances from forest edges.

The Relationship

Current estimates of obesity costs ignore the impact of future weight loss and gain, and may either over or underestimate economic consequences of weight loss. In light of this, I construct static and dynamic measures of medical costs associated with body mass index (BMI), to be balanced against the cost of one-time interventions. This study finds that ignoring the implications of weight loss and gain over time overstates the medical-cost savings of such interventions by an order of magnitude. When the relationship between spending and age is allowed to vary, weight-loss attempts appear to be cost-effective starting and ending with middle age. Some interventions recently proven to decrease weight may also be cost-effective.

The Impact

Indoor air quality (IAQ) in educational buildings is a key element of the students’ well-being and academic performance. Window-opening behavior and air infiltration, generally used as the sole ventilation sources in existing educational buildings, often lead to unhealthy levels of indoor pollutants and energy waste. This paper evaluates the conditions of natural ventilation in classrooms in order to study how climate conditions affect energy waste. For that purpose, the impact of the air infiltration both on the IAQ and on the efficiency of the ventilation was evaluated in two university classrooms with natural ventilation in the Continental area of Spain. The research methodology was based on site sensors to analyze IAQ parameters such as CO2, Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC), Particulate Matter (PM), and other climate parameters for a week during the cold season. Airtightness was then assessed within the classrooms and the close built environment by means of pressurization tests, and infiltration rates were estimated. The obtained results were used to set up a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model to evaluate the age of the local air and the ventilation efficiency value. The results revealed that ventilation cannot rely only on air infiltration, and, therefore, specific controlled ventilation strategies should be implemented to improve IAQ and to avoid excessive energy loss.
