ECONOMIC STRUCTURE AND POVERTY IN MEXICO, 2008-2018

Este estudio analiza la estructura económica y si los cambios que ésta experimenta están vinculados y afectan la pobreza de México y los estados que lo integran. Por ello, se estima la participación sectorial del PIB y el empleo, el efecto intrasectorial (EI) y el efecto reasignación (ER) del empleo hacia sectores de alta productividad en los Estados que conforman el país, también se utilizan los índices de pobreza del Coneval en el análisis. La evidencia constata que la participación sectorial respecto al PIB y el empleo tiende a aumentar en el sector servicios y que en el país el aumento en la productividad se atribuye principalmente al ER; sin embargo, las actividades a las que se reubica el empleo en los estados son en su mayoría actividades no industriales. Por último, se encontró que la reducción de la pobreza se explica por el crecimiento económico, la participación de los sectores secundario y terciario, pero no por el ER lo cual denota la inexistencia de un cambio estructural en la economía mexicana.

Agriculture, Mass Media, and the Economic Development of India

In India, the enormous contribution of mass media in the agricultural sector helps to develop agriculture as well as the socio-economic structure of the nation. The chapter discusses the contribution of mass media in agricultural sector of India and how it supports the socio-economic development of the nation. Agriculture and economy are two essential factors of modern society. Agriculture helps in the development of economy whereas mass media gives a pace. Mass media is attracting the attention of the farmer, giving them information related to agronomy and creating needs and demands of agriculture through marketing techniques, which ultimately enhance the productivity and economy of the nation. Mass media is ultimately helping the overall sustainable developmental process of the agricultural sector of the nation.

Essentials, Challenges, and Future Directions of Agricultural IoT

Agriculture plays a major role in the socio-economic structure of India. A recent report claimed that population of India is increasing faster than its capability to produce rice, wheat, and vegetables. The challenges in the area of agriculture are farming, watering, weather forecasting, marketing, and transportation. These challenges are to be addressed towards proper solution. If the infrastructure and productivity of the food increases, then India can easily feed its population as well as improve the exports of wheat and rice around the world. Internet of things (IoT) is an emerging technical area of agriculture domain. The advantage of IoT is to implement a smart agriculture management system with the help of analyzing the weather conditions of the field in order to optimize the usage of water, energy, fertilizers so as to maximize the crop yield. The objective of this study is to explore the possible contributions of IoT in Indian agriculture towards the improvements in irrigation infrastructure, agricultural productivity, food security, and rural job opportunities.

Criteria of Using Optimum Size Approach for Reduction of Axial Forces in Column in Multi Storied Building under Seismic Zone III

In India, every industry has its own importance to make the country shift towards its future goal. The construction industry plays a very significant role with the introduction of high-rise structures that has been increasing regularly. Beside this, the structure should be strong enough that each element should be economic and strong. The criteria of using optimum size approach for reduction of axial forces in column in multi storied building under seismic zone is a new idea. It reduces the size of beams and columns at the different levels of the building. On other hand, the structural weight should be minimized when the self-weight of the same will be reduced and proved to be an economic structure. In this project a G+13 Storey structure is analyzed using six different cases named as AFR Case A to AFR Case F assumed to be situated in seismic Zone III. The plinth area is in use as 625 m2 and all the cases have compared with each parameter. The project concluded that efficient Case is AFR Case C on comparing 6 maximum axial force reduction cases that ultimately reduce the overall cost of the project.

Rural Regeneration in Egypt: A Review of Existing Typologies in Borderline Areas

Tracking rural areas and studying them may not be an easy task. The concept of whether the area at hand is urban or rural could be simple, but lately rural areas could carry many features that may deviate the definition into one which is unclear. In urbanized rural development, reversing the urbanization spotted may not be the ideal way to go, urban developers often suggest that to go back to the roots is to regenerate the area back into rural, however, regenerating rural areas using rural parameters and definitions may not be what the urban area in hand needs and the changes and challenges that are facing rural communities in Egypt need to be understood before any plan can be deemed as effective or even worthwhile The rapid increase in urbanization and how it affects agriculture land, shorelines, and rural land, has affected badly the rural capacity, and led to a constant threat of overhaul in place of towns, cities, and other urban activities. However, rural areas are the lungs of the planet alongside forests and other green areas and having them diminish substantially will lead to an inevitable catastrophe. Regenerating rural areas should focus on revitalizing and embedding them into the social, cultural, and economic structure of the region, however, it may not always involve turning them back to what is commonly termed as rural.This research attempts to review and discuss the meaning and definitions of rural regeneration with a view to propose a strategic plan to regenerate borderline areas in Egypt.

Social Dependency: the Values of Collectors, Fishing Logics and the Economics of Gift

The phenomenon of social dependence is considered as a phenomenon that accompanied the life of society at all times. On the basis of analysis of the theoretical resources and empirical studies, a parallelism of dependency strategies is carried out. The evolution of the moral and ethical values of human communities is analyzed through the works of K. Polanya, I. Morris, T. Shanin and others. The convergence of systems of moral and ethical values of prehistoric, non-historical society and modern societies is described. Dependency is considered as fishing, intermediate equipment and gift economics. A unique phenomenon is being studied, which is practically not reflected in the information field, does not find direct accounting in official statistics, however, is well-known in Russian everyday life — «garage-owners». Based on a deep theoretical analysis, it is concluded that the practices of dependency are characterized by a certain form of extremely archaic egalitarianism, and the convergence of the values of collectors and members of post-industrial communities is expressed in fishing, that is, in essence assigning logics to economic practices of our time. The theoretical constructions of the modern topical studies resonate with the empirical studies, both of the garage socio-economic structure and the practices of social dependence. The conceptual approaches discussed in the article have the potential to study various socially negative phenomena of the modern society.

Europejski Zielony Ład i odbudowa polskiej gospodarki – szanse i wyzwania

Man-made climate change has become the greatest political and economic challenge today. The dictate of GDP as the main measure of prosperity and economic success has led to the wasteful use of natural resources and a drastic increase in greenhouse gas emissions. The consequences are more and more felt: water, food and air pollution, the spread of infectious diseases such as Covid19, or extreme weather phenomena caused by global warming. Limiting these phenomena requires strong and consistent political decisions as well as real actions. The ambitious goals of decarbonisation and climate neutrality adopted by the European Union meet with the strongest resistance and criticism in the former Eastern Bloc countries, whose economies are highly dependent on coal. European policymakers are trying to reconcile the interests of European economies, highly diversified both in terms of the economic structure and the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix. The main tool is to be the unprecedented scale of the European budget earmarked for pro-climate actions, which is to help achieve climate neutrality while maintaining economic growth.

Climate and Sustainable Food Security

Agriculture is the world's largest solar energy harvesting enterprise. In the Indian context, the last few decades have witnessed unprecedented growth in agricultural production largely due to productivity improvement. However, the gap between potential yield and farmers fields is still high. This paper highlights the various socioeconomic issues that dominate the variability in agricultural production at the field level. Monsoon management of agriculture and human livelihoods has been a traditional experience in India. However, in the current context of wide spread concerns about global climatic change there is a need to translate climatic information into practical tools for the development and sustainment of agriculture. This paper makes a case for the development of a suitable strategy for climate management, in the context of the unique socio-economic structure of the country.
