The Impact

In a general sense, the hotel infrastructure is a component of tourism, and its quality forms and affects the level of service and integrated development of tourism and its products. The material basis of hotels and their network is clearly correlated with the determinism of the impact on tourist flows, the number of visitors to the regions, which generates new volumes and financial revenues to them. On the other hand, tourism and the tourism market account for a significant share of the economy of many countries, and one of the features of this business is the direct subordination and interdependence of tourism infrastructure (including hotel), travel agents and contractors, their impact on society, political conditions, features and trends in different time slices. At the same time, tourism today with the hotel infrastructure due to its unpopularity with tourists, is experiencing a significant crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has a significant impact on the reduction of various indicators in the field of services, including tourism. This has led to job РОЗВИТОК ПРОДУКТИВНИХ СИЛ І РЕГ ІОНАЛЬНА ЕКОНОМІКА 10 Випуск І (81), 2021 closures, economic losses, downtime or the closure of a number of related companies and their counterparties, prompting urgent responses to the analysis of the travel services market and crisis management practices during and after.

The Impact

Accompanying the spread of “new public management” since the 1980s, accrual accounting and results-based management has become a global standard. However, whether accrual accounting results in successful outcomes and which drivers lead to the intended impacts of the reform have been contested. Given the mixed arguments in the literature, we set out two research questions: (1) “Have public sector organizations realized any positive impacts on management practices by adopting mandatory accrual accounting?”; and (2) “What are the primary drivers of such impacts?” To answer these questions, we examine the impact on management practices by analyzing a survey to ascertain how financial department officers in Japanese local governments perceive the benefits of adopting mandatory accrual accounting on management practices. The results indicate that they have so far not recognized the intended benefits, though they had expected higher benefits in internal control. Then, we use technical-rational, socio-political, and institutional isomorphic perspectives in a comprehensive approach to understand the impacts on management practices. The logistic analysis shows that financial managers in local governments that do not have a majority party in the assembly, but consist of several parties in power, as well as in those with greater financial dependence on the central government, perceive higher benefits. Further, we find that financial managers that imitate other local governments as a form of mimetic pressure perceive fewer benefits. The results show that some technical-rational tools, socio-political conditions, and institutional pressures change the perceived benefits for public managers of adopting mandatory accrual accounting. Points for practitioners We find that some technical-rational, socio-political, and institutional factors explain the intended internal benefits of the mandatory adoption of accrual accounting. In practice, financial managers in local government feel the merits of accrual accounting in less autonomy in not only politics, but also finance, and few mimetic conditions. It might be understood that difficult situations would drive practitioners to use mandatory information.

Agricultural production and water conservancy facilities in china are a high probability of suffering from disasters of flood and waterloging,it is important for researching on the impact of it. Based on actual data from 1990 to 2010, disasters of flood and waterloging impact on agricultural production and water conservancy facilities is analysed.The rate of areas covered is the highest rate in 1991,reaching 16.4 percent, the average rate 8.96 percent; The rate of areas affected is the highest rate in 2003,reaching 63.8 percent, the average rate 54.4 percent; The rate of areas affected completely in Hainan is the highest rate in 2010 in china,reaching 57.4 percent, usually about from 20 percent to 40 percent. The average number of large and medium damaged reservoirs caused by disasters of flood and waterloging is 43.8 from 2006 to 2010, small damaged reservoirs 17.87 hundred, the damaged embankments 48.239 thousand, the damaged embankments length 10.42 thousand km, the damaged locks 9.97 thousand, the direct economic losses of water conservancy facilities 27.95 billion RMB.But the indicators in 2010 is higher than average value,indicating water conservancy facilities damaged severely. The flood and waterloging has a significant impact on growth and yield of crops. The rate of areas covered, the rate of areas affected, the rate of areas affected completely are three important indicators to evaluate the damaged area of crop. Impact on water conservancy facilities is very serious,the central and local governments need to pay high attention to it.

Abstract Free-ranging cats Felis silvestris catus are harmful to endemic species, especially on islands. Effective management practices require an understanding of their habitat use and population source at the landscape level. We aimed to identify the source of the free-ranging cat population on Tokunoshima Island, Japan, which harbors a variety of endemic organisms as well as human settlements. Trapping data for the whole island were provided by local governments, and landscape factors (residential, agricultural, and woodlot areas and cattle barn density) affecting cat density were explored. An analysis of live-capture data indicated that the density (per 1 km2) of free-ranging cats was positively correlated with the densities of cattle barns and woodlot areas and negatively correlated with residential areas. An interview survey revealed that nearly half of the cattle barns feed free-ranging cats. The source habitat of free-ranging cats appears to be areas with a high density of cattle barns and a high percentage of woodlots in human-dominated landscapes. Feeding cats in cattle barns may strengthen the bottom-up process of population growth on the island. To reduce the impact of cats on endemic species on Tokunoshima Island, efforts to stop feeding cats in cattle barns are important. Reaching a consensus with stakeholders will require further studies of the ecological risks posed by free-ranging cats.

Daily Milk

It was observed that in Deoni and Cross bred cow daily change of relative humidity, maximum temperature and minimum temperatures had significant (P < 0.01) effect on daily milk yield of cow. It was inferred that the effect was more pronounced on cross bred cows than that of Deoni and Sahiwal cows. Between the two indigenous cows effect of micro climatological changes was more pronounced on Deoni breed than Sahiwal breed of cow. It was also observed that overall daily milk yield was reduced by 1 g (P > 0.05), 6 g (P > 0.05), 22 g (P > 0.05) and 78 g (P < 0.01) per unit increase of air temperature, relative humidity, temperature humidity index and maximum temperature respectively while data were analyzed as a whole considering all the cows of all the breeds together. Economic losses resulting from temperature-induced reductions in production may justify mitigation of these temperature increases through changes in management practices such as installation of sprinklers in sheds, evaporative cooling of barns, feeding and nutritional strategies, and/or selection of more heat-tolerant animals. So, risk management, by considering perceived thermal challenges, then assessing the potential consequences and acting accordingly, will reduce the impact of such challenges.

AbstractA sample of 226 cash grain farms in the Lake States-Corn Belt region are analyzed to estimate the impact of restricting pesticide use on profits. These 226 farms are classified into small, medium, and large farms according to their sale revenues. The results suggest the existence of pest management practices that could substantially reduce pesticide use without incurring economic losses. The reductions in profits associated with gradual reductions in pesticide expenditure appear to increase with farm size.

The Impact

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and quantify the different factors affecting the costs of mastitis in cattle, to quantify the annual and monthly financial losses attributed to mastitis, and to estimate production losses using average linear scores found on The Dairy Herd Improvement Association somatic cell count (SCC) sheets and bulk tank SCC per lactation number. Materials and Methods: All data (bovine mastitis-associated costs and expenditures in Egyptian dairy herds) were analyzed using SPSS/PCT, 2001. A partial budget technique using spreadsheet software and the general linear model procedure was used to analyze the productive and financial measures. Results: Mastitis was present in 57.1% of cows (240/420), while clinical mastitis (CM) was present in 19% of them (80/420). The geometric mean of SCC/ml in bulk tank milk samples of 150 cattle dairy farms was 556.3×103. The annual subclinical mastitis (SCM)-related economic loss was 21,933,258.6 LE, and the two most important cost components were the subsequent decrease in milk production and quality premium losses (93% and 7% of SCM costs, respectively). The quality premium loss was 1,369,602.1 LE. On the other hand, the annual economic loss due to decreased milk production as a result of SCM was 20,563,656.5 LE. The total cost of 80 CM cases, including the failure and preventive costs, was 1,196,871.4 LE, including 1,169,150.4 LE failure costs (106,336.0 LE in direct costs and 1,062,814.4 LE in indirect costs) and 27,721.0 LE preventive costs. The average cost per CM case was 28,760.9 LE, including veterinary time and consultation fees of 250.0 LE (1%), labor 562.5 LE (2%), premature culling 736,000.0 LE (77%), decreased milk production 4085.18 LE (13.7%), discarded milk 185.3 LE (1%), and drugs and treatments 328.9 LE (1%). The total costs of CM (expenditures) extra control and preventive measures, including the diagnosis of CM for 80 cows annually in 20 Egyptian dairy farms were 27,721.0 LE, representing 346.5 LE or 1% of the total cost of CM cases. The cost of monitoring and diagnostic measures was 8635.2 LE, representing 107.9 LE or 1% of the total cost of a case of CM. Conclusion: The method used for cost estimation, in this study, is highly adaptable to individual cattle farms and had a major role in assessing specific control and management measures. The concepts described in this paper help to improve our understanding of the full economic impact of clinical and subclinical mastitis in cattle in Egypt. Assessing the economic losses from mastitis to determine the economic costs and losses occurring in Egyptian dairy farms is critical for encouraging farmers to acknowledge the scale of the problem and implement effective management practices aimed at improving mastitis control and reducing the associated costs.

Este trabajo de investigación parte de la premisa de que los territorios urbanos tienen una identidad cultural subyacente y distintiva; que cuenta además con ciertas potencialidades y recursos que pueden generarle posibilidades concretas de desarrollo. Parte de la certeza de que un territorio no puede reinventarse de cero, como sí podría hacerlo un producto/servicio si es que cuenta con recursos suficientes. Los territorios responden a una identidad en constante evolución, dotada de plasticidad adaptativa que se conforma de acuerdo a la acción de sus ciudadanos, la historia que los define, el impacto de los cambios sociales en sus rasgos singulares y su capacidad de adaptación e innovación frente a las nuevas condicionantes de orden mundial. El objeto de la investigación considera distintos enfoques sobre planificación y desarrollo económico, así como el papel de los gobiernos locales en la gestión y desarrollo de las ciudades, enfocándose en aquellas de países en desarrollo. A lo largo del trabajo se considera que las ciudades y las regiones se ven abocadas a gestionar directamente los recursos para satisfacer eficientemente las necesidades de su población. En este contexto, se analiza y propone la concepción, construcción y desarrollo de una marca de ciudad (place branding) o marca de destino (destination branding), que represente y proyecte a la ciudad, a la vez que se constituya en una manifestación del poder comunicativo del espacio, cuya gestión de imagen, resulta decisiva como generadora de recursos, facilitadora de bienestar para sus pobladores, así como para su crecimiento y desarrollo sustentable a largo plazo. Abstract This research work is started from the premise that urban territories have an underlying and distinctive cultural identity; that it also has certain potentialities and resources that can generate concrete possibilities for development. It starts from the certainty that a territory cannot reinvent itself from scratch, as a product/service could if it has sufficient resources. The territories respond to an identity in constant evolution, endowed with adaptive plasticity that is shaped according to the action of its citizens, the history that defines them, the impact of social changes on their unique features and their capacity for adaptation and innovation in the face of the new conditions of world order. The object of the research considers different approaches to planning and economic development, as well as the role of local governments in the management and development of cities, focusing on those in developing countries. Throughout the work, it is considered that cities and regions are forced to directly manage resources to efficiently satisfy the needs of their population. In this context, the conception, construction and development of a city brand (place branding) or destination brand (destination branding), is analyzed and proposed, which represents and project to the city, at the same time be constituted in a manifestation of the communicative power of the space, whose image management is decisive as a generator of resources, facilitator of well-being for its inhabitants, as well as for their growth and long-term sustainable development.
