This introductory chapter provides an overview of the book's main themes. This book explores the state, shape, change, and evolution of Midwestern Jewish cuisine through time. It tracks geographically based culinary recipes and changes made to them through time by presenting and analyzing ones from Midwestern Jewish sources, both kosher and non-kosher. It documents the availability of fruits, vegetables, and other comestibles throughout the Midwest that impacted how and what Jews cooked; and considers the effect of improved preservation and transportation on rural and urban Jewish foodways. Then, it examines the impact on Jewish foodways—the cultural, social, and economic practices relating to the production and consumption of food—of large-scale immigration, relocation, and Americanization efforts during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, paying special attention to the attempts of social and culinary reformers to modify traditional Jewish food preparation and ingredients.

The subject of this research is determination of the network interaction on the background of growth of entrepreneurial activity in the area of beekeeping in Primorsky Krai during late XIX – early XX centuries, as well as the interconnection between expansion of economic impact in entrepreneurship and functionality of social networks.  The tasks of this study include identification and description of network structures, determination of the type of proximity on which they are based, and clarification of the specificity of the impact of network interaction upon development of beekeeping of Primorsky Krai of the late XIX – early XX centuries. Identification and description of network structures in this research is done using the tools of economic cartography, surveying, diachronic analysis, with reliance upon archival materials on inspection of peasant farms of Primorsky Krai in 1912. The scientific novelty of this research consists in revelation of the functionality of social networks in proliferation of new knowledge, economic practices and technologies. The work highlights two types of network structures, which depend on the type of proximity that underlies the interaction of economic agents. It is established that the development of beekeeping practice and entrepreneurship based on production of honey relates to the functionality of the network structures.

The Impact

Food supply chain has become a crucial segment of every economy especially after the COVID-19. Lockdown was imposed in Palestine that is why it was very hard to maintain food supply chain from forms to end-users. Pandemic disturb every economy but developing economies like Palestine was more vulnerable. Although, Palestine authorities did their best by adopting best economic practices still various indicators impact the food supply chain. The aim of this article is empirically find out the impact of economic indicators on food supply chain. This is quantitative study and the questionnaire was adopted from well reputed studies. The data was collected by convenience sampling and analysed by structuring equation modelling through Smart PLS. The finding of this study revealed that inflation rate is negatively effecting the performance of food supply chain although economic indicators are not significant impacting. This study has unique findings it has been found that HDI is positively and significantly effecting food supply chain and HDI is also positively and significantly effecting the GDP but GDP is also positively impacting food supply chain but not significantly. This may be because of emerging country that heavily rely on external support and has less industrialization. This study help manages to understand that inflation is very bad for food supply chain so they must take care of inflation rate while decision making. This study help government to take necessary measures regarding interest rate and inflation rates. Next study can be conducted other parameters of economic indicators and industry to generalize the findings.

The Impact

In consideration of the three pillars of sustainability, alongside the environment, social and economic dimensions interplay valuable insight into how society is molded and what key components should be considered. In terms of social sustainability, there are processes and framework objectives that promote wellbeing integral to the balance of people, planet, and profit. Economic practices consider the system of production, resource allocation, and distribution of goods and services with respect to demand and supply between economic agents. As a result, an economic system is a variant of the social system in which it exists. At present, the forefront of social sustainability research partially encompasses the impact economic practices have on people and society—with notable emphasis centered on the urban environment. Specific interdisciplinary analyses within the scope of sustainability, social development, competitiveness, and motivational management as well as decision making within the urban landscape are considered. This book contains nine thoroughly refereed contributions that interconnect detailed research into the two pillars reviewed.

scholarly journals The Impact of the Merchant’s Confession in the Development of Business Law during the Siglo de Oro: the Casuistic Approach of Tomàs de Mercado and Martin de Azpilcueta to Commercial Law.

The Impact

In 16th century Spain, the confessor and the merchant had a privileged relationship, resulting from the new economic practices induced by the Great Discoveries. The merchant must, for the salvation of his soul, engage in commercial activity in accordance with Christian morality. Through confession, the confessor provides legal and theological advices necessary to achieve this purpose, but also judges the morality of his penitent by deciding whether or not to absolve him. Therefore, the confessor must know both the Christian moral precepts designed to govern business life, and the institutions of civil law used in business practice. An issue raised by the penitent is a case of conscience, which the confessor must resolve by formulating a moral resolution. This resolution could be a certain or only a probable one, and therefore subject to debate against other probable opinions. These resolutions were then incorporated among others into the casuistic literature that was to be diffused throughout Europe for the use of both confessors and penitents.

The Impact

This paper analyses Roma migration at both the macro- and meso-levels, taking into consideration global contexts, ‘push’ and ‘pull’ factors, and structural conditions in both host and the home countries as well as in individuals’ communities. The first part of the paper analyses the push factors behind emigration, drawing mainly on quantitative findings from research conducted in a rural community in Transylvania, Romania. The second part of the article, however, goes beyond the statistical data and presents the impact of these push factors on individual lives by using the data collected through ethnographic methods and life histories recorded with local Roma people who take part in labour force migration – mostly circular migration – to western countries. The details provided within such life histories can offer a deeper understanding of the processes which the specific Roma community (and especially poorer community members) experienced both during socialism and after 1990; and in so do, shed new light on how the migration cycle is integrated into local social and economic practices.

The Impact

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.

The Impact

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.
