Role of international, regional and country organizations in adapting to statistical standards and regional differences: The case of food and agriculture statistics

The adoption of international standards is essential to producing internationally comparable official statistics. However, as the particular case of the adoption of SDG indicators demonstrates, this is by no means a linear process. According to FAO’s SDG data gap assessment conducted in 2019 and other statistical capacity assessment reports (e.g., World Bank, AfDB…), financial, professional and technological capacities of national statistical agencies vary greatly between countries and regions, as does the level of political support and commitment to statistics. These differences call for more targeted interventions by international institutions to support the uptake of statistical standards. To face this challenge, FAO is increasingly building the capacity of its regional and country offices to better mainstream food and agricultural statistics in regional and national cooperation strategies and activities, while also stepping up its resource mobilization efforts. Regional roadmaps are currently being rolled out to support countries in adopting food- and agriculture-related SDG indicators and other statistical standards, taking into consideration regional particularities, the impact of UN reform, action plans developed by UN Regional Commissions and other relevant regional partnership opportunities. This paper will highlight some of the key regional differences in countries’ capacity to adapt to statistical standards, describe FAO’s regional targeted interventions in the context of food and agricultural statistics, and discuss the remaining main challenges.

An analysis of the organisational factors that determine education-related university-business cooperation activities in manufacturing SMEs

ABSTRACT Cooperation between universities and business is manifest in a wide range of activities related to the three missions of the entrepreneurial university: education, research and entrepreneurship. However, the vast majority of University-Business Cooperation (UBC) literature has focused on R&D-related activities. This bias has given rise to a lack of knowledge of the organisational context-related factors that shape businesses’ cooperation with universities. In order to address this research gap, this quantitative study, by means of a series of multivariate linear regression models, identifies the organisational context-related factors that determine manufacturing SMEs’ cooperation levels in education-related UBC activities. Applying a questionnaire to a sample of 332 manufacturing SMEs located in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (Spain), the impact is analysed of organisational context-related factors – general business characteristics, business openness, R&D, innovation, and UBC willingness and support – on 5 types of UBC activities that have been identified and classified in the field of education, namely, mobility of students, dual education, curriculum co-design, curriculum co-delivery and lifelong learning.

An Intelligent Supervision for Supply Chain Finance and Logistics Based on Internet of Things.

Supply chain finance and logistics activities are developing rapidly. In the economic activities of the tripartite cooperation between financial institutions, logistics enterprises, and loan enterprises, the goods will enter the logistics and supervision links of pledged goods immediately after they are postponed. It is proposed to integrate computer network communication technologies such as the Internet of Things with supply chain finance and logistics supervision to strengthen the information interaction between suppliers, which is widely used in supply chain activities to help realize the Internet finance. An intelligent supply chain supervision can implement monitoring and early warning of the time of the pledged goods in the warehouse, in transit, and during processing. Therefore, this paper proposes an intelligent supply chain supervision model by integrating supply chain finance, logistics, and pledge finance models into an operation management platform to better promote the smooth progress of supply chain finance and logistics supervision activities, which can effectively reduce various external risks, improve operational efficiency, and provide reference for supply chain finance and logistics activities.

A policy-centred approach to inter-municipal cooperation

ABSTRACT This paper demonstrates how policy-specific characteristics affect inter-municipal cooperation. We investigate if a municipality’s cooperation activity in a policy area hinges on whether the policy is considered relevant or politicized by local officials. Using data from two surveys of Swiss local administrators and officials conducted in 2017 that include detailed questions on public service provision, we find that the perceived relevance of a policy for a municipality is associated with more inter-municipal cooperation whereas perceived politicization goes along with less inter-municipal cooperation. These results suggest that policy-specific characteristics play a crucial role for understanding inter-municipal cooperation.

Marker molecules of lymphocytes in the diagnosis of immune-dependent disease

One of the promising directions in modern immunology is the search, evaluation, and subsequent determination of the role of the most significant surface antigens expressed on immunocompetent cells in the implementation of a normal immune response and in pathology. The quantitative composition of leukocytes in peripheral blood is one of the factors for the successful implementation of their functional activity. Today, the flow cytometry method, which is widely used both in clinical and experimental immunology, makes it possible to analyze the activation processes of immunocompetent cells based on the identification of the main surface molecules, markers of the proliferative activity of immune system cells, apoptosis, and intercellular cooperation. HLA-DR cells are a marker of late and long-term activation of cells, they remain in the blood for a long time. Their study allows assessing the severity of the inflammatory process and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment: a dynamic decrease in this indicator indicates a decrease in the inflammatory response, while an increase shows the activation of the inflammatory process.

Open Government and Cross-border Cooperation – Perspectives for the Context of Transnational Policy-Making in Border Regions

Open Government (OG) as a concept for modernising the public sector is becoming increasingly prominent in recent debates in administrative science. It refers to a model of government and administrative action which, guided by the three premises of transparency, participation and collaboration, shapes the development and implementation of public policies in close interaction with actors from civil society, business and science. OG thus is not necessarily something completely new, but rather follows the tradition of various reform discourses in administrative science: On the one hand, it shows references to concepts of state theory that postulate a development from the democratic state of the 1950s, the active state of the 1960s, the lean state of the 1970s and 1980s, the activating state of the 1990s towards the digital state of the 2000s. On the other hand, with regard to normative models of public administration, in contrast to autonomous and hierarchical administration, it can be classified between the idea of a cooperative and a responsive administration (cf. [1], pp. 253). At the municipal level, the concept is connectable to concepts that see an evolutionary development from the regulatory municipality of the 1950s and 1960s, the social security municipality of the 1970s, the service municipality of the 1990s to the civic municipality of the 2000s [2]. Finally, it is relatively easy to also establish references to the more recent debates on the topos of regional governance [3], [40].
 It is therefore all the more surprising that in the literature on administrative sciences; concepts of OG have so far hardly been applied to the policy field of cross-border cooperation in Europe. In the last 30 years, the action model of territorial cooperation has steadily gained in importance within the overall approach of European policies, both in qualitative terms (contribution to horizontal integration) and in quantitative terms (financial and human resources employed). In addition to numerous INTERREG funding programme areas, a large number of cross-border action structures with varying degrees of institutionalisation have developed over time at different interlinked territorial levels (inter-local, inter-regional, macro-regional) [4]. A more recent study [5] comes to the conclusion that Europe's cross-border cooperation today has a personnel capacity of over 21,000 full-time equivalents.
 Using the territorial example of the trinational border regions of the Upper Rhine, the paper examines the extent to which the premises of OG are suitable for the future-oriented development of existing approaches to cross-border cooperation in a post-COVID-19 perspective. On the basis of three case studies it will be worked out which possibilities, challenges and perspectives can concretely arise in order to use the negative experiences gained in the COVID-19 pandemic for a structural and functional repositioning of cross-border cooperation in Europe. Finally, an approach concept will be developed, which shows how public actors of cross-border cooperation can contribute to the realisation of a new truly transnational and development-oriented governance mode through methods and approaches of Open Government.
