AbstractThe Southern Region of Europe is economically well-developed with highly industrialized urban areas and with great agricultural potential. The empirical analysis is based on an econometric assessment that measures the impact of the VAT on the rate of economic growth for years between 1996 and 2017. The empirical evidence highlighted a significant positive impact of VAT on economic growth, but a poor and ineffective use of the tax revenues during the period under review. Moreover, evidence revealed relatively high rates of VAT in the countries analyzed, with negative impact on the aggregate consumption and a diminishing effect of the consumer’s income.

The Impact

The Slow City (Cittaslow) concept represents an emerging global trend where participant small cities commit to growing sustainably by preserving their authenticity while celebrating their local culture and diversity. Meanwhile, marketers increasingly find authenticity to be critical for campaigns with efficacy. Using a sample of 762 residents from slow cities, neighboring cities, and other Turkish cities, the authors empirically examine the Slow City movement and demonstrate its positive impact on place authenticity. Slow City membership also positively moderates the effect of perceived authenticity on both perceived entrepreneurial opportunities and economic development, which positively impact quality of life and intention to stay respectively. The results also indicate that the benefits of the Slow City movement spill over to neighboring cities. The Slow City movement offers much promise for place marketing and has potential to slow down the heavy migration from rural to urban areas in emerging markets.

The sustainability of agricultural land is determined by the level of farmers’ perception. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the factors that influence farmers’ perceptions toward agricultural land sustainability in peri-urban areas of Pekalongan City. The peri-urban areas of Pekalongan City were selected by purposive sampling method with a total sample of 90 farm owners and cultivators. Data were analyzed using OLS (Ordinary Least Square) regression model. The results have shown that the factors influencing farmers’ perceptions toward agricultural land sustainability in the peri-urban area of Pekalongan City were farmers’ knowledge, farmers’ land tenure and access to information. Based on the results of the study, the variables of farmers’ knowledge and land tenure had a negative impact, while the access to agricultural information had a positive impact on farmers’ perceptions.

Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to measure the impact that homophily, structural characteristics of the networks, number of citations of the alters and their Hirsch score have on the number of citations of an ego. I have chosen co-authorship networks as a subject of research because they have a great influence on knowledge and on the diffusion of ideas. The studied populations are represented by full-time academics affiliated to sociology departments in Romania, Poland and Slovenia. Ego-network analysis was used as research design. The data was analyzed using linear hierarchical regression. For all three populations the average number of citations of the alter has a considerable positive impact on the number of citations of the ego. Conversely, the Hirsch score of the alter has a negative impact on the number of citations of the ego. The data analyzed in this article claims that the assumptions about the positive impact of alter citations, network size and the betweenness score on the number of the authors citations are supported empirically.

Результаты. Методом экстраполяции исследована динамика сельского и городского населения, осуществлен прогноз на перспективу. Определено гигиеническое значение планировки территории. Рассмотрены истоки возникновения и причины развития наиболее общих экологических проблем урбанизированной территории. Раскрыты такие наиболее актуальные проблемы крупных городов, как несанкционированные свалки, точечная застройка, высокая плотность населения, сокращение площади зеленых насаждений и др.; предложены мероприятия по их решению (снижению негативного влияния) на законодательном и исполнительном уровнях. Выводы. Результаты исследования позволяют сделать вывод о существенном положительном влиянии своевременных градостроительных мер на экологическую ситуацию в городах. Statement of the problem.

Purpose This study aims to mediate the impact of workplace stress and job satisfaction on nurses’ perception of training. It sheds light on the links between job satisfaction, Certified Nursing Assistants’ perception of training and workplace stress in nursing homes. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional questionnaire was distributed in 12 different elderly home care centres in Northern Cyprus during September to October 2017. The sampling frame consists of 317 full-time Certified Nursing Assistants who completed measures of perception of training, job satisfaction and workplace stress. This paper used structural equation modelling to test a theoretical model and hypothesis. Findings The findings emphasize that Certified Nursing Assistants’ perception of training has a positive impact on their job satisfaction and negative impact on workplace stress while workplace stress mediates the relationship between their perception of training and job satisfaction. The results indicate that while the motivation for training and support for training have an effect on job satisfaction, access to training and benefits for training do not yield any significant impact on it and workplace stress plays a mediating role. Originality/value This study confirms that the CNAs’ perception of training and job stress affect the emergence of job satisfaction, and workplace stress mediated the relation between training and satisfaction posited by social exchange theory.

The paper studies change in the national and religious structure of the population and assesses the impact of cultural heterogeneity on the economic development of Russian regions. Sources of information on the national structure of the population are 2002 and 2010 censuses. The analysis of heterogeneity in the religious structure is carried out for 2012 and 2015 and sources of the data are Atlas of Religions and Nationalities of Russia and the Federal Agency for Nationality Affairs. Fractionalisation and polarisation indices are used to assess the level of cultural heterogeneity. The study of these characteristics showed that despite the intensification of migration processes in contemporary Russia, there were no major changes in the cultural structure of the population of the regions. At the same time, there is a wide variety of national and religious structures in the regions. The impact of cultural heterogeneity on economic development is estimated using regression analysis. The panel regression of gross regional product on labor, capital, controlling variables and indices of cultural heterogeneity is estimated. The results have shown: 1) the positive impact of ethnic and cultural fractionalisation on economic development; 2) the absence of a statistically significant relationship between the level of national polarisation and development; 3) the negative impact of religious polarisation on regional productivity. The results suggest that it is necessary to consider cultural heterogeneity of the society and the possibility of contradictions due to the cultural differences in the regional policy and in the decisions on the public finance
