While anti-immigrant parties have been electorally successful in European parliaments, it is still unclear whether they have influenced policies. This article contributes by investigating the anti-immigrant party policy impact on a previously unexplored welfare policy area, that concerning the mobility of vulnerable European Union/European Economic Area citizens. In Sweden, the aid offered to these citizens varies a great deal in different municipalities. Furthermore, the largest anti-immigrant party (Sweden Democrats) has, unlike the mainstream political parties, preferences for a strict policy in line with so-called welfare chauvinism. Taking advantage of this subnational variation, our data give us a unique opportunity to investigate whether anti-immigrant party representation impacts welfare policy outcomes. The empirical findings show a negative correlation between Sweden Democrats’ representation and the aid offered and indicates that municipalities where Sweden Democrats holds a pivotal position offer less aid to vulnerable European Union/European Economic Area citizens. The hypothesis that these effects are conditional upon the ideology of the ruling coalition is, however, not supported.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to analyze year-end spending practices in the European Economic Area (EEA) to baseline the pervasiveness of year-end spending spikes across countries in Europe.Design/methodology/approachThe Tenders Electronic Daily dataset is used to descriptively analyze above-threshold procurement contracts by country, year and contract type from 2009 to 2018. Proportional distributions are employed to compare percentages of spend across quarters. Analyses are run within each country on the number of years displaying a fourth quarter spike, as well as within each country and contract type.FindingsThe results show that while spending spikes for above-threshold contracts in the final fiscal quarter are not consistent across all countries, patterns emerge when the data are disaggregated by country. The most populous nations in the EEA are more likely to have years with the highest proportion of fiscal spend occurring in the fourth quarter. Further, the type of contract makes a difference – services and supplies contracts are more likely to display fourth quarter spikes than works contracts.Originality/valueThis article provides the first analysis of the year-end spending spike across countries in Europe using procurement data, as well as the first to disaggregate by year and contract type. Findings support the literature on the presence of year-end spikes; such spikes exist even for above-threshold public procurement contracts.

Intellectual Potential

Theoretical and methodological principles are substantiated and practical recommendations for managing the transformation of organizational knowledge as a tool for effective use of industrial enterprises intellectual potential in order to increase its competitive advantages are developed in this paaper. Theoretical generalization of industrial enterprises organizational knowledge concept is carried out. It is proved that the hidden staff knowledge acquires special value for the enterprise. The own vision of the term «organizational knowledge» is proposed. The author's classification of organizational knowledge by the degree of their manifestation and formalization is developed. The scientific value of the proposed classification is that it more deeply and accurately considers the consistent transformation of some types of knowledge into others, reflecting the dynamics of knowledge transformation process, determining the need for constant updating, and, consequently – creating new knowledge and its immediate implementation. Knowledge types matrix is constructed. The structure of organizational knowledge reflecting not their plane, but their spatial nature is determiined. According to the types and structure of organizational knowledge, the forms of their manifestation are defined. The transformation of knowledge not only by types, but also by the transition of knowledge from the individual level to the group and organizational levels is substantiated. At the same time the process of knowledge synergy is clearly represented. Recommendations for improving the processes of knowledge transformation in industrial enterprises are developed, as well as mechanisms for their practical implementation are proposed. The main conclusions and recommendations can serve as theoretical, methodological and methodical basis for further research in closely related areas of enterprise personnel management and innovation management. Obtained results form the principles of the organizational and economic mechanism for ensuring the effective use of intellectual potential of industrial enterprises in the implementation of European vector of national economy development.

AbstractWe assessed the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare workers (HCWs) from data on 2.9 million cases reported from nine countries in the EU/EEA. Compared to non-HCWs, HCWs had a higher adjusted risk of hospitalization (IRR 3.0 [95% CI 2.2-4.0]), but not death (IRR 0.9, 95% CI 0.4-2.0).Article Summary LineHealthcare workers are hospitalized more frequently than non-healthcare workers when adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities.

In 2011, a total of 28,038 new HIV diagnoses were reported by European Union and European Economic Area countries. The annual rate of HIV diagnoses does not show clear signs of decrease and HIV continues to be concentrated in selected populations such as men who have sex with men and injecting drug users, and a high proportion reported as late presenters. Despite effective and available antiretroviral treatment, the number of AIDS cases increased in a few countries.
