Impact of economic conditions on production efficiency of agricultural enterprises

At the present stage of market relations development, it is becoming more and more relevant to take into account the economic conditions of management. It is important to choose the right specialization by enterprises of the agricultural sector, which contributes to the increase in labor productivity, the increase in the efficiency of capital investments use and fixed assets. Relevant is the interdependence of specialization and concentration of production, which, in turn, has a significant impact on the development of socio-economic development program of the enterprise and on the entire process of expanded reproduction.

The Fate of the GOELRO Plan (Towards the Centenary of Soviet Russia’s Economic Development Program)

This article attempts to overcome one-sidedness in the assessment of the GOELRO Plan in the context of its centenary as well as to introduce some new data concerning this monumental economic program of the 20th century. The article touches upon the following themes: regarding an outstanding scientist and educator V. I. Grinevetskii as one of the leading ideologists of electrification; proving the prerevolutionary origins of the plan; assessment of the plan as a general economic program for the country’s development; insufficiency of time allocated for the work of the GOELRO Commission, and, accordingly, the plan’s shortcomings; analysis of statuses of the electrification programs and the first five-year plan; and comparison of different researchers’ opinions concerning the degree of completion of the GOELRO Plan. Comparative analysis of the plan and its international counterparts allowed to conclude about supranational scale and timeless topicality the GOELRO Plan that formed the basis for future national panning of industrial development.

Religious Trend in Contemporary Indonesia: Conservatism Domination on Social Media

Religion is predicted to dissipate from social significance through the processes of development or economic modernization. Classical secularization theory forecasted religion in the modern era will face some circumstances such as 1) the decline of personal faith, religious beliefs and practices; and (2) the retreat of religion from public space (Cassanova: 1994, 2010). However, the supporters of secularization and modernization theories failed to notice that religion did not disappear from the public sphere. The opposite occurs in Southeast Asia. Economic development program and modernization could work hand-in-hand with religion in the region (Feener and Fountain: 2018).In the context of Indonesia, the issue of religion has gone through ups and downs. The story of Indonesia’s revival of Islam had been begun when the country experienced anti-communist campaigns of 1965-66 (McVey: 2006). Since then, the government obliged all of its societies to profess one of Indonesia’s recognized religions: Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Buddhism, and Hinduism (now Confucianism has been added to the list) (Qurtuby: 2013). The pressure for all citizens to embrace one particular recognized religion resulted in great conversion from local religions/faiths—Hindu, Buddha, abangan, etc.—to Islam (Hefner: 1987a, 1987b, 1989; cf. Beatty: 1999). It then witnesses rapid growth of the grassroots Islam and the spread of Islamization (Houben: 2003).

PEMBERDAYAAN PERIKANAN DI KABUPATEN LOMBOK TIMUR PROVINSI NUSA TENGGARA BARAT

Program pembangunan ekonomi nasional berbasis perikanan dan pedesaan secara langsung maupun tidak langsung diharapkan dapat menanggulangi permasalahan ketimpangan wilayah dan keterbatasan modal usaha perikanan. Sejak tahun 2010, Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan Indonesia telah melaksanakan program pemberdayaan kepada kelompok nelayan dan kelompok pembudi daya ikan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis kinerja program pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui skema Program Nasional Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Mandiri Kelautan dan Perikanan (PNPM Mandiri KP) pada perikanan tangkap dan budi daya di Kabupaten Lombok Timur. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada tahun 2016 di Kabupaten Lombok Timur. Data primer dikumpulkan dengan cara survei dan informan dipilih secara purposive sampling dilengkapi dengan data sekunder dari berbagai sumber.

Modeling the coordination of general and private interests of the development of economic entities

The article presents a dynamic socio-ecological-economic model of the synergetic development of individual economic entities, which makes it possible to reconcile their general and private interests. Maximization of specific consumption is proposed as a target parameter. Accordingly, in relation to private interests - the subject, in relation to general interests - the governing center. The model provides for the possibility of using the available resources by each entity both in the tasks of their own development and in the general development goals of other entities. The presented model can be used to form an economic development program for a separate territory, a separate industrial cluster, a municipality, a region and a macro-region. As a result of modeling, control parameters are formed for developing a strategy for economic development. A model of territorial development based on two models is presented: a dynamic model of the combination of general and private interests and a neoclassical Solow model. It is proposed to use a model for regional systems, where the elements of the system are regions within one macro-region. The parameters of the model used for the macroregion are described in terms of identification. The modification of the Solow model takes into account a) threshold limits on the volume of production in the region, emissions and discharges of pollutants from the regions; b) interaction of subjects in solving joint development problems through cross-investment for a synergistic effect; c) taking into account the influence of technical progress both on the volume of the quantity of products produced and on labor productivity. As for the use of the model of the combination of general and private interests, the sum of two terms was taken as the target function of agents (regions): the maximization of specific consumption is taken as the private interests of the region, and the specific consumption of the entire macroregion is taken as the general interest.

Budget financing of a region’s social and economic development: program-targeted approach

The implementation of national regional policy depends on the extent to which its mechanisms and instruments ensure effective regional development. One of the important tools for solving the problems of social and economic development of the regions is the program approach to planning and management of the regions. However, the situation with funding and implementation of regional target programs in the regions is unsatisfactory. The purpose of the article is to investigate trends and find out the problems of budget financing of social and economic development using the program-targeted approach on the example of Zaporizhzhia region. The following methods were used for the study: historical, abstract and logical, systemic and comparative analysis. In the article, the issues of budget financing of social and economic development using a program-targeted approach are examined. The regional target programs and projects of the State Regional Development Fund for Zaporizhzhia region are analyzed. The following main features, weaknesses and problems of financing are identified: the dominance of the social component of the regional programs and projects of the State Regional Development Fund over the development-related one; duplication of tasks and activities by different programs; inconsistency of regional target programs with the strategic and operational goals of regional development strategies; fragmentation of regional target programs, which significantly complicates their management The directions of improvement of the regional target programs’ funding that correspond to the peculiarities of the current stage of social and economic development of Ukraine are outlined: activation of extrabudgetary financing, control of program measures implementation, elimination of duplication of program measures.

Kebiasaan Makan Ikan dan Trofik Level Sepanjang Perairan Pantai Kabupaten Barru

The purpose of this study is to determine the trophic structure of pelagic fish around Barru coastal waters.So that by knowing the structure of the tropic level it can be determined the ideal number of populations that shouldbe captured at all trophic levels so that small and large pelagic fish resources can maximally and sustainably beutilized. The benefits of this research with a trophic level approach can be made a model of fisheries managementpolicy in a region of the Makassar Strait in supporting the accelerated economic development program in theSulawesi Economic Corridor. The research method is taking data on environmental parameters and predation at eachtrophic level including fish through observing fish gastric contents. Identification results of gastric contents indicatethat anchovy and tembang fish are plankton (planktivore) eaters because only Phytoplankton and zooplankton canbe found in their intestine. Pepetek fish, fish float and mackerel eat plankton and several types of larvae of small fishand crustaceans so that they are classified as omnivores. Selar fish classify as carnivorous fish because in itsintestine found various types of small fish, shrimp, and various other animals and not obtained plankton as its mainfood item. Anchovy and tembang fish which are included as planktivore, have a greater percentage of phytoplanktonin their intestines compared to zooplankton.

Development Distribution? EU Aid for Formal Audiovisual Distribution and the Case of Africa’s First Video-on-Demand Platform

This article examines the European Union’s support for formal distribution initiatives abroad, focusing on ACPCultures+, an economic development program that aims to grow the audiovisual industries of developing countries through the expansion and adaptation of the logics and mechanisms of intra-European media policies. While these distribution initiatives aim to challenge Hollywood’s reach in developing countries, their activities nevertheless foster the integration of audiovisual industries in developing countries into global media industries. At the same time, the program’s pairing of formal distribution and development aid is at times at odds with audience and industry expectations. Using data from policy documents, fieldwork in Brussels, and interviews with recipients of ACPCultures+ distribution project awards—including a detailed case study of Africa’s first VOD platform—I explore how these initiatives attempt to shape formal distribution in countries on the peripheries of large audiovisual industries.

Enticing the Maoist Guerrilla – India’s Coin Strategy and Evolving Surrender and Rehabilitation Policy

Debates about the utility of different COIN models in the Indian scenario continue to evoke extreme reactions. Experts believe that Indian COIN efforts have invariably preferred trading “hearts and minds” approach with highly kinetic enemy centric tactics. It is argued that Indian security leadership feels that an enemy centric approach is best suited for Maoist insurgency, where the fear of population seceding from India is remote. India is blamed for not having a focused or a formal COIN strategy against the Maoist insurgency. It is only in the last decade that individual states have begun to harmonize their COIN responses with one another and with the Government of India (GoI) policies. A national surrender and rehabilitation policy were formulated in 2014; considered to be an important component of the new approach. Following federal guidelines, states have formulated their surrender policies. It may be myopic to assess these policies in isolation and these need to be evaluated in whole as a part of comprehensive COIN approach. The verdict till now is a mixed bag, while some states have tasted success with the scrupulous implementation of the new surrender policies, others have resorted to sham surrenders to shore up the numbers. Policies like surrender and rehabilitation can give a representative sense to the rebels that the government cares for them if they(rebels) are willing to shun the violent path. Proper implementation and timely disbursal of benefits add to the credibility of the policy and the government too. The multi-pronged approach of sustained military pressure, robust economic development program and a sensitive surrender cum rehabilitation policy stand to deliver favourable results in India’s fight against Maoist insurgency.
