Comprehensive assessment of the financial status of forestry enterprises as a prerequisite for financial resources attraction

Mangroves are considered ideal ecosystems for Blue Carbon projects. However, because of their short stature, some mangroves (‘scrub’ mangroves, less than 2 m) do not fulfil the current definition of ‘forests’, which makes them ineligible for emission reduction programmes such as REDD+. Short stature mangroves can be the dominant form of mangroves in arid and nutrient-poor landscapes, and emissions from their deforestation and degradation could be substantial. Here, we describe a Blue Carbon project in the Gulf of California, Mexico, to illustrate that projects that avoid emissions from deforestation and degradation could provide financial resources to protect mangroves that cannot be included in other emission reduction programmes. The goal of the project is to protect 16 058 ha of mangroves through conservation concessions from the Mexican Federal Government. The cumulative avoided emissions of the project are 2.84 million Mg CO 2 over 100 years, valued at $US 426 000 per year (US$15 per Mg CO 2 in the California market). The funds could be used for community-based projects that will improve mangrove management, such as surveillance, eradication of invasive species, rehabilitation after tropical storms and environmental education. The strong institutional support, secure financial status, community engagement and clear project boundaries provide favourable conditions to implement this Blue Carbon project. Financial resources from Blue Carbon projects, even in mangroves of short stature, can provide substantial resources to enhance community resilience and mangrove protection.

The paper is dedicated to the problems of identification and diagnostics of the enterprise financial status. The main attention is paid to the methods of assessing the current financial status of the enterprise. The author’s definition of financial status of the enterprise is performed in the paper, as a result of the analysis of current variants of that concept determinations. The financial status of the enterprise is determined in the paper as a multiple enterprise characteristic which includes current incoming, distribution and investment financial resources. The diagnosis of financial status is defined in the article as an evaluation of incoming, distribution and investment of financial resources of the enterprise with indicators that comprehensively characterize its current activities. The factors of capital structure, liquidity and cash flow effectiveness is proposed in the paper as indicators of the enterprise financial status. which can be used to provide the diagnostics. The integrated indicators of enterprise financial status and its current effectiveness (which based on enterprise cash flow factors) is presented in the paper in order to summarize the results of financial status diagnostics. This approach illustrates the important choice of enterprise between such alternatives as: a) accelerated development and financial risks; b) financial stability and limited capital growth. The final result of the paper is the matrix called «financial state-efficiency of activity» which allows to get interpretation of the concluding diagnostics procedures. Key features of the matrix application are similar to those used to substantiate managerial decisions in the strategic management. The practical implementation of this matrix allows the enterprise to ensure equilibrium between development (by increasing current liabilities) and improvement of enterprise financial positions (by increasing the value of liquid assets and optimization of capital structure). The results of the paper can be used to improve the financial status of enterprises, regardless of its sectoral specificity.

AbstractThis paper highlights the intersection of gender, sexuality and class in shaping the ways in which ‘leftover’ women navigate legal and social discrimination. ‘Leftover women’ is a stigmatising term in China that refers to women who do not get married by the time they reach their late twenties. Based on my fieldwork in China with queer and heterosexual ‘leftover’ women, I introduce two strategies of stigma management: ‘buying a licence to be deviant’ and ‘identity-hopping’. The former is a strategy adopted by heterosexual women with financial resources and a desire frequently expressed by queer women. ‘Buying a licence to be deviant’ refers to the strategy of accumulating sufficient financial resources to justify one's choice to be deviant and deal with the legal consequences of the evasion of the population policies. ‘Identity-hopping’ is popular among those with a lower social and financial status, who use the law's labelling function to hop from one stigmatised identity to another as a way to deal with stigma. From an intersectional lens, this paper advances law and society's study of stigma and discrimination by emphasising the hierarchy of stigmatised identities and the strategy of using the law's power of labelling identities to hop from one identity to another. It also demonstrates how the intersection of gender, sexuality and class complicates the ways in which leftover women understand and engage with the law.

Abstract Prior research has documented that individuals with fewer financial resources report lower self-rated health. The relationship between financial status and health is important to understand among older adults, for whom income is often fixed, and who face unique health stressors. In this study, we examined whether physical activity, connection to community, and access to information, variables which have demonstrated associations with financial resources and health in previous studies, accounted for unique variance in the association between income and self-rated health. We conducted a secondary data analysis of a community sample of 184 adults over the age of 50 in a large, Mid-western city. We tested a mediation model, entering income as a predictor of self-rated health with frequency of physical activity, feelings of being disconnectedness, and ability to find information about needed services as hypothesized mediators, controlling for the effects of race, education, and gender. Access to information about needed services, ab = .08, 95% CI [03, .15] accounted for unique variance in self-rated health scores beyond the direct effect of income, c’ = .38, p < .0001, 95% CI [.22, .53]. These findings suggest that higher perceived access to information about needed services may partially explain the association between income and self-rated health. Future researchers should track these variables across time to establish causal associations between access to information and health. Additionally, further study of perceived access to information and objective measures of access to information is warranted, as the role of health literacy in this study is unclear.

Abstract. Research shows that engagement in leisure activities promotes well-being among older adults. The objective of the current study was to examine the relationship between subjective well-being (flourishing) and leisure activities (total number of different activities in the previous year) in a sample of older adults in Croatia, thereby considering the variables of sex, marital status, financial status, and self-perceived health. The differences in the examined variables between the groups of older adults who reported to be engaged in new activities with those who did not were also examined. The sample of N = 169 older adults aged 60 years and above was drawn from a convenience sample of adult internet users in Croatia. Participants reported their self-perceived health and the number of leisure activities they engaged in over the previous year as well as completing the Flourishing Scale. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that older adults who were engaged in more various leisure activities, who perceived better financial status, and who were married reported higher levels of flourishing. A comparison of the two groups of older adults with and without engagement in leisure activities showed that those engaged in at least one leisure activity were more likely to be women, reported higher levels of flourishing, and perceived their own financial status as better. This study indicated that engaging in leisure activities in later life might provide beneficial effects for the well-being of older adults.
