Does Service Utilization Improve Members’ Welfare? Evidence from Citrus Cooperatives in China

Farmers’ professional cooperatives (hereinafter referred to as “cooperatives”) are an important carrier for small farmers to organically connect to the big market. Under the background of frequent phenomena such as generalization of cooperatives, cooperative alienation, empty shelled cooperatives and involution of cooperatives in China, whether cooperatives can improve members’ welfare has attracted the attention of all walks of life. Service is the essential attribute of cooperatives, and the key to the functioning of cooperatives is the services utilization by members (hereinafter referred to as “service utilization”). Therefore, examining the impact of service utilization on members’ welfare has important theoretical and practical significance, which helps to scientifically evaluate of the current value of cooperatives in China and then objectively respond to questions about the development of cooperatives. Thus, this study takes the micro-survey data of 74 citrus cooperatives and 524 citrus members in Citrus County, Sichuan Province, China as examples, and uses the endogenous switching model to empirically analyze the impact of service utilization on members’ welfare. The results show that the level of service utilization is not high, and only half of the members use cooperative services. However, service utilization can significantly improve members’ welfare. Specifically, the average treatment effect of service utilization on citrus yields, net returns and household income is respectively 285.446 kg/mu, 1290 yuan/mu and 4980 yuan/person. Simultaneously, service utilization can increase citrus yields, net returns and household income by 13.49%, 18.32% and 17.99% on average. Finally, some countermeasures and suggestions are put forward, such as actively publicizing cooperative’s services, guiding members to use cooperative’s services, improving the standardization level of cooperatives and strengthening policy support for cooperatives.

Use of Toxic Substance Release Modelling as a Tool for Prevention Planning in Border Areas

The paper deals with the protection of the population and the environment in crisis management and emergency planning. It includes a proposal for an auxiliary tool for crisis managers and commanders to increase the safety of the population and the environment in the evaluated area. The proposal was developed thanks to a detailed analysis of the border area in selected regions of Slovakia, where extraordinary events may occur during the cross-border transport of hazardous substances. The actual outputs are maps of area-border crossings, including the places of transport of hazardous substances specifying a range of possible adverse effects on the endangered area. The modelling process was based on real conditions in the given area. Various scenarios of the possible occurrence of the release of hazardous substances were developed. The scenarios were applied in the ALOHA CAMEO software. Using the software output, it was possible to draw the most probable emergency scenarios with a cross-border effect. Cross-border impacts are crucial challenges in dealing with an emergency, as there is a need to ensure cooperation and coordination of emergency services in two different countries. The outputs proposed by the authors are a tool suitable not only for taking preventive measures but also as an aid in repressive activities. It is, therefore, suitable both for reducing the probability of the occurrence of given emergencies and minimizing its consequences.

The Medan City Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) and Cooperative Service in collaboration with the Halal Product Guarantee Agency (BPJPH) supports the existence of a halal certificate guarantee for MSME actors in the city of Medan. Currently, to implement all of business activity, there is a need for halal certification guarantee management so that MSME business actors can better understand how important a halal certificate is to a business. Indonesia's population is a Muslim-majority country and a potential market for various halal products. The percentage of the number of micro, small and medium enterprises is high. For example, micro businesses can be represented at 98,79%, small businesses 1,11%, while medium businesses 0,09%, and large businesses only 0,01%. This data is based on the 2013 Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises and from the total of these business units, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) act as business drivers in Indonesia. However, the guarantee of a halal certificate issued by the Ministry of Religion is considered to be very difficult for Medan City MSME actors to obtain due too many requirements that must be met by the business actors themselves. The guarantee of a halal certificate is expected to be a spirit to awaken and excite the development of the halal industry in the country, especially North Sumatra. Halal Product Assurance certification and supervision services also consistently apply the principles of integrity, transparency, and avoid all kinds of extortion and gratification.

Bandwidth Allocation for Multiple Federated Learning Services in Wireless Edge Networks

This paper studies a federated learning (FL) system, where <i>multiple</i> FL services co-exist in a wireless network and share common wireless resources. It fills the void of wireless resource allocation for multiple simultaneous FL services in the existing literature. Our method designs a two-level resource allocation framework comprising <i>intra-service</i> resource allocation and <i>inter-service</i> resource allocation. The intra-service resource allocation problem aims to minimize the length of FL rounds by optimizing the bandwidth allocation among the clients of each FL service. Based on this, an inter-service resource allocation problem is further considered, which distributes bandwidth resources among multiple simultaneous FL services. We consider both cooperative and selfish providers of the FL services. For cooperative FL service providers, we design a distributed bandwidth allocation algorithm to optimize the overall performance of multiple FL services, meanwhile catering it to the fairness among FL services and the privacy of clients. For selfish FL service providers, a new auction scheme is designed with the FL service providers as the bidders and the network operator as the auctioneer. The designed auction scheme strikes a balance between the overall FL performance and fairness. Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithms outperform other benchmarks under various network conditions.

Operational Risk Management And Performance Of Cooperative Microfinance In Thailand

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the operational risk management (ORM) impact on cooperative microfinance performance by identifying specialization as a moderator with respect to the relationship between ORM and cooperative microfinance performance. Methodology: The survey questionnaires were distributed to 455 respondents, all of whom were senior officers of saving and credit cooperative microfinance service providers (MSPs) in Thailand, using a quantitative technique. The data analysis was performed employing SmartPLS software version 3.0 and the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. Main Findings: The result indicates that cooperative microfinance performance is significantly affected. Here, specialization moderates the relationship between ORM and cooperative microfinance performance. Research limitations/implications: The survey used a cross-sectional design by only examining credit and saving cooperative MSPs. It employed a quantitative method and relied on a single mode of data collection. The implication of this study will be important for policymakers like the Bank of Thailand and the Ministry of Finance in Thailand when it comes to developing microfinance policies and programs. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is unique in that it examines the impact of ORM on cooperative microfinance performance and recognizes specialization as a moderator.
