Participation and Development Buzzwords

The concept of sustainable development cannot be imagined without ownership, innovation, empowerment, and sustainability itself. In the same manner, it is not possible to achieve objectives of catchphrases like ownership, innovation, empowerment, and sustainability without ensuring genuine participation in the development projects. Genuine participation refers to a participatory process that takes place based on well-informed participants. A well-being outcome of participation relies on participants with sufficient knowledge of the issue and development process (Hussain, Khuhro, 2019). It is different from mobilisation campaign that emphasis on particular project objectives. In order to achieve goals of sustainable development, well-being participation is an essential step to take. This paper argues that a lack of real participation potentially restricts a sustainable development project to achieve objectives of ownership, innovation, empowerment, and sustainability, respectively.

Applying design science research methodology in the development of virtual reality forest management services

Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) is the most common and heavily referenced methodology in the context of innovation and development in information systems. Its application has extended from information technology systems and processes to many other sectors including services and governance. The purpose of this study is to introduce DSRM as a research tool in forest-sector research and to demonstrate how it was applied in a new service-development process in the area of forest management and in virtual reality. Two DSRM iterations and their evaluation are introduced. The first one concerns forest-owner preferences for various forest-management services including virtual options, and the second concerns an application that is developed and demonstrated to customers either remotely or in-person. The findings indicate that there is a niche group of forest owners at whom the virtual-reality service could be aimed, and that these services do have the potential to meet the objectives of forest-sector companies and forest owners in terms of resource efficiency, improved interaction and shared understanding. The contribution of the study lies in exemplifying the use of DSRM in the forest sector and enhancing understanding of design and forest-owner preferences in the realm of digital services.

ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ УПРАВЛІНСЬКИХ ДІЙ ТА РІШЕНЬ ПІД ЧАС ПРОВЕДЕННЯ ДЕРЖАВНОГО ФІНАНСОВОГО АУДИТУ МІСЦЕВИХ БЮДЖЕТІВ

The article is devoted to the study of the effectiveness of managerial actions and decisions during the state financial audit of local budgets. The author notes that a promising driving mechanism for eliminating violations in the management of budget funds and state assets is the introduction of effective procedures for the system of public financial audit. Public financial audit should be understood as verification and analysis by the state financial control body of the actual state of affairs regarding the legal and effective use of state or communal funds and property, other state assets, correctness of accounting and reliability of financial statements, internal control system. It is generalized that the state financial audit of the local budget is aimed at conducting and analyzing the legality and efficiency of the formation and implementation of local budgets. The articles highlights the correctness of accounting conducted by audited entities; reliability of financial and budgetary reporting of audit objects; functioning of the internal control system and the state of internal audit; the state of use of property, funds, land, natural resources that are in the communal ownership of territorial communities, villages, settlements, cities, districts, and objects of their common property, which are managed by district and regional councils. It is investigated that the distribution of control powers in the Ukrainian realities is as follows: the State Treasury Service of Ukraine carries out preliminary and current control in treasury servicing of local budgets, and the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine and the State Audit Office of Ukraine - subsequent (retrospective) control during external audits. Taking into account the norms of legislation in the field of control at the local level, the mechanisms of external state financial control (audit) at the local level include: audit carried out by the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine (financial audit and performance audit); state financial audit, which is carried out by the State Audit Office of Ukraine. In turn, budget managers represented by their heads conduct internal control and internal audit at the local level.

Proprietary fragmentation and public-private management of UNESCO sites owned by the Italian state

This article is intended to develop the topic of the relationship between UNESCO sites owned by the Italian state and the profiles of their profitability and sustainability. If it is true that a common characteristic of Italian (and not only) UNESCO sites is the heterogeneity of the legal titles of ownership of such objects, then at the same time, for UNESCO sites belonging to the Italian state (25 out of 55: 45,55 %), the heterogeneity of management models is added to the multiplicity of legal regimes. In this case, the plurality of these properties affects both the valorization of the object and the quality of its management. The negative consequences of the fragmentation of the management of a UNESCO state site can be grouped as follows: 1) differences in recruitment approaches; 2) differences in management models; 3) qualitative differences in work experience; 4) differences in economic profitability; 5) differences in the accounting system. If such diversity is hardly understandable even when objects belong to different institutions, it is even less understandable when they belong to the state. The consequence of the absolute heterogeneity of the legal and organizational framework is the heterogeneity of economic results. The gap is huge and unacceptable: The Etruscan tombs of Tarquinia and Cerveteri bring in the following revenue: € 38 964,84 (2018) and € 57 127,00 (2019). At the same time, the income of the Archaeological Park Colosseum is: € 46 347 249,57 (2018) and € 48 465 096,71 (2019). If it is true that the award of UNESCO site status to a cultural monument is independent, as it should be, of its economic capabilities, then it is also true that increasing its economic profitability contributes to the achievement of the objectives of the UNESCO Convention: the protection and valorization of the cultural heritage object. Hence it is necessary to conduct autonomous financial reporting of UNESCO sites, which is currently absent in many state-owned UNESCO sites or they do not have their own accounting and financial autonomy. In conclusion, the topic of the fragmentation of ownership of the 55 Italian UNESCO sites and its impact on governance and financial returns allows us to explore the actual attention that the national legal system actually attaches to UNESCO sites, that is, the importance that, in addition to official declarations, UNESCO sites have in the domestic legal system.

WPaxos: Wide Area Network Flexible Consensus

WPaxos is a multileader Paxos protocol that provides low-latency and high-throughput consensus across wide-area network (WAN) deployments. WPaxos uses multileaders, and partitions the object-space among these multileaders. Unlike statically partitioned multiple Paxos deployments, WPaxos is able to adapt to the changing access locality through object stealing. Multiple concurrent leaders coinciding in different zones steal ownership of objects from each other using phase-1 of Paxos, and then use phase-2 to commit update-requests on these objects locally until they are stolen by other leaders. To achieve fast phase-2 commits, WPaxos adopts the flexible quorums idea in a novel manner, and appoints phase-2 acceptors to be close to their respective leaders. We implemented WPaxos and evaluated it over WAN deployments across 5 AWS regions. The dynamic partitioning of the object-space and emphasis on zone-local commits allow WPaxos to significantly outperform both partitioned Paxos deployments and leaderless Paxos approaches.

Profits may lead teams to lose matches, but scoring goals does not lead to profit

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between profitability and sporting performance in European football. Profitability has been rarely studied because it has not been considered an aim of European clubs, in contrast with American clubs. However, the emergence of investors who invest on both sides of the Atlantic shows that the objectives of owners can be diverse and that profitability has to be taken into account. The study of the compatibility or incompatibility of sporting performance and profitability has implications for the existence of clubs with owners with different objectives in the same competition, or even owners with different aims in the same club. The paper finds that financial performance has a negative influence on clubs’ sporting performance, while sporting performance does not have a negative influence on profitability. Moreover, ownership concentration has a negative influence on both performance variables. These findings show that the pursuit of sport success could undermine the profitability and sustainability of clubs and that investors could focus less on sport results and focus more on maximizing the financial returns on their investments.

Increasing employee income: an innovative approach based on a combination of factors of production and consumption

The issues of the relationship of modern characteristics of the manufacturer and consumer with the innovation activity of both the enterprise and network structures are considered. The problems caused by new types of innovative labor in a competitive environment are identified; competition between the chains and inside them, the transformation of competitive forces, the interpenetration of the results of the manufacturer and consumer offers are considered. The ways of traditional income increase are investigated: increase in wages, payment of bonuses, various surcharges, allowances, guarantee compensation payments related to the performance of tasks. The mechanism of the influence of time costs and financially significant results of the activity on labor activity and incomes of workers of market structures in comparison with the activities of public sector employees is studied. The directions of solving the problem of increasing employee incomes that lie in the plane of the combination of production and consumption are identified. The authors propose a detailed study of the concept of increasing income, which is aimed at the processes of joint creation of common values of market participants: producers and consumers. It is due to the departure from the traditional scheme to the implementation of innovative activities at the enterprise, which became possible due to the formation of new competencies based on external sources of intellectual capital, including through the creation of a creative network of participants to generate unique value with the involvement of consumers. The considered incomes of producers as a result of market interaction with consumers have the effect of creating new values along with the ownership of a trademark, patent, franchise rights. The development of relations with consumers and the new competencies of manufacturers have an unlimited time perspective, in contrast to the use and ownership of traditional resource objects that have a final effect.

The Ownership Effect in Dementia Patients

Abstract. Ownership of objects influences memory performance in healthy subjects, a phenomenon referred to as the ownership effect. In dementia patients, memory performance is severely impaired, yet it is not known whether memory performance can be enhanced using the ownership effect. In this contribution we investigated the influence of ownership on memory performance in dementia patients, using an adapted shopping task to induce artificial ownership. Dementia patients ( N = 32) fictitiously owned half of the objects presented to them on picture cards. Memory performance was tested using a forced-choice recognition task that also included novel objects. Corrected hit rates of owned and previously unowned objects were compared using analysis of variance. The corrected hit rate for objects fictitiously owned by dementia patients was significantly higher than the hit rate for unowned objects ( p = .027; partial η2 = .152). Results indicate a significant memory enhancement for objects fictitiously owned by dementia patients. Our findings suggest that the memory performance of dementia patients can be influenced using the ownership effect, and that this effect could be used to design interventions that try to improve memory performance for relevant information in dementia patients.

Роль стоимостного подхода к управлению в разрешении противоречий отношений собственности: модель мотивирования наемного управленца

The development of productive forces in time predetermines qualitative change of industrial relations that creates a basis for contradictory property relations involving the division of the range of powers of the owner and their partial transfer to an additional subject of ownership or a hired top manager. The article describes the conflicting interests of a hired manager and owner in relation to ownership object and the implications while realizing these interests which entail the emergence of “agency problem” or “agency relations”. We study the concept of “agency costs” and their essence. We propose to use the method of business value management as a basis for a model of long-term motivation of the top manager and, thus, try to reconcile the interests of the owner and the top manager in the course of company expansion.

Statistical approach to building a model of recognition operators under conditions of high dimensionality of a feature space

The task of constructing recognition algorithms (RAs) focused on the classification of objects under conditions of high dimensionality of a feature space is considered. As an initial model, a model of RAs based on the calculation of estimates is considered. A distinctive feature of the proposed model is the formation of subsets of interrelated features (SIF) and the selection of a set of representative features (RFs) in the construction of RAs. Moreover, the proximity estimates between the object and the class under consideration are calculated on the basis of the Bayesian approach. The main advantage of the proposed operators is the allocation of preferred dependency models with the subsequent calculation of the assessment of the ownership of objects and ensuring a significant reduction in the number of computational operations when recognition unknown objects. This feature is very important for real-time recognition systems. To test the performance of the proposed model, experimental studies were carried out in solving a model problem. This model can be used in the compilation of various programs aimed at solving problems of forecasting and classifying objects defined in the space of features of large dimension.

To the inventory of Ukraine’s defense lands

The article analyzes the inventory of the defense lands of Ukraine, which involves establishing the location of objects and their boundaries, because the implementation at the proper level of governmental functions of the state in the planning, monitoring and control over the use and protection of land depends on the availability of complete, objective and sufficient information about them. The offenses faced by land users of such land plots, in particular, are unauthorized occupation of land and unauthorized construction, seizure of land through registration of ownership of real estate objects, reduction of rent for land etc. The procedure of conducting land inventory, which regulates the requirements for carrying out land inventory during the implementation of land management and preparation of technical documentation, in particular, the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 476 «On Approval of the Procedure for Land Inventory and Recognition Of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine» of June 5, 2019. The work done on the inventory of land and real estate of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the period 2014-2019 has been evaluated. Positive aspects of correction and filling of the real estate database started three years ago in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for creation of automated workplaces of managers to support effective management of real estate and infrastructure network were noted, since the availability of systematic information about state-owned and owned land plots in the operational management of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine depends on Ukraine's fulfillment of international obligations, which is an indisputable argument for yst of the state land inventory defense promptly. Keywords : inventory, land, property, defense lands, Ukrainian Armed Forces, land management projects.

Soroepidemiologia e distribuição espacial da infecção por Leptospira spp. em caprinos do Estado de Pernambuco, Brasil

RESUMO: Objetivou-se com este trabalho analisar os aspectos epidemiológicos relacionados à infecção por Leptospira spp. em caprinos no Agreste e do Sertão do Estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. Foram coletadas 476 amostras de animais com idade igual ou superior a um ano, não vacinados. A pesquisa de anticorpos foi realizada pela técnica de Soroaglutinação Microscópica (SAM). Para o estudo dos fatores de risco aplicou-se um questionário investigativo padronizado, constituído por perguntas objetivas ao criador, referentes às características de manejo produtivo, reprodutivo e sanitário. Das 476 amostras analisadas, 27,3% (130/476; I.C. 23,4% - 31,6%) foram positivas. Em relação às propriedades, observou-se que 87,5%, apresentaram ao menos um animal positivo. O sorovar mais prevalente foi o Autumnalis (54,1%), que também apresentou maior distribuição nos diferentes pontos de estudo. Na análise de fatores de risco, o variável sexo (macho) apresentou diferença significativa (OR=0,40; I.C. 0,18 – 0,88; p=0,023). Observou-se neste estudo uma elevada prevalência da infecção por Leptospira spp. em caprinos e que a mesma ocorre nas diferentes regiões do estudo. Desta forma, sugere-se que medidas de profilaxia sejam implementadas visando à redução da prevalência nos rebanhos e consequentemente perdas econômicas para o produtor, assim como risco para Saúde Pública.

Private lands conservation: A vision for the future

ABSTRACTAgricultural production, including croplands, pasture, and timber, dominates private‐land use and land cover across much of the contiguous lower 48 states. These private lands are essential to achieving the goals of national conservation initiatives such as the Northern Bobwhite Conservation Initiative (bobwhite [Colinus virginianus]), Sage Grouse Initiative, and North American Waterfowl Management Plan. Effective conservation delivery in managed landscapes requires 1) an understanding of landowner priorities and ownership objectives, 2) knowledge of the economic and environmental costs and benefits of conservation, and 3) natural resource professionals who understand the business of agriculture and forestry as well as principles of habitat management and wildlife conservation. We make the case for a new vision of multifunctional working landscapes that include designed components of natural and seminatural noncrop perennial plant communities (wetlands, grasslands, riparian areas, field margins, pine [Pinus spp.] grasslands, savannas, etc.) embedded in a matrix of row‐crop, pasture, rangeland, and forested working lands that produce sustainable food, fiber, and fuel. Producing sustainable, multifunctional landscapes will require effective conservation delivery that is intentional, objective‐driven, targeted, science‐based, and landscape scale. We contend that it will also require a new kind of natural resource professional. We consider the specific and novel skill sets that will be required among natural resource professionals to deliver conservation to private owners–producers of working lands. © 2019 The Wildlife Society.

Towards an Underground Utilities 3D Data Model for Land Administration

With the pressure of the increasing density of urban areas, some public infrastructures are moving to the underground to free up space above, such as utility lines, rail lines and roads. In the big data era, the three-dimensional (3D) data can be beneficial to understand the complex urban area. Comparing to spatial data and information of the above ground, we lack the precise and detailed information about underground infrastructures, such as the spatial information of underground infrastructure, the ownership of underground objects and the interdependence of infrastructures in the above and below ground. How can we map reliable 3D underground utility networks and use them in the land administration? First, to explain the importance of this work and find a possible solution, this paper observes the current issues of the existing underground utility database in Singapore. A framework for utility data governance is proposed to manage the work process from the underground utility data capture to data usage. This is the backbone to support the coordination of different roles in the utility data governance and usage. Then, an initial design of the 3D underground utility data model is introduced to describe the 3D geometric and spatial information about underground utility data and connect it to the cadastral parcel for land administration. In the case study, the newly collected data from mobile Ground Penetrating Radar is integrated with the existing utility data for 3D modelling. It is expected to explore the integration of new collected 3D data, the existing 2D data and cadastral information for land administration of underground utilities.

Forest Owner Objectives Typologies: Instruments for Each Owner Type or Instruments for Most Owner Types?

The extensive literature on non-industrial private forest owner typologies often assumes that different forest owner types will respond to different policy instruments according to shared forest ownership objectives. Forest owner typologies using principal component analysis and subsequent k-means clustering techniques are now prolific. The surprisingly little empirical work linking forest owner objectives typologies with forest owner opinions or experiences of different policy instruments, however, shows ambiguous support for recommended targeting efforts. This study uses standard tools of analysis to investigate the relationship between private forest owners’ ownership objectives and their opinions on forest conservation policy instruments. Results show some statistically significant, but in absolute terms weak relationships between ownership objectives and Sweden’s command and control green tree retention measures, participation in voluntary forest stewardship certification, acceptance of a hypothetical financial incentive, and overall interest in taking more environmentally beneficial forest management measures. These results suggest the benefits of targeting different kinds of instruments to different kinds of ownership objectives may be limited.

Where farm and forest meet: Comparing National Woodland Owner Survey respondents with and without farmland

Much is known about the characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors of U.S. family forest owners and agricultural landowners independently. However, little is known about those who own both woodland and farmland. To address this knowledge gap, we analyze National Woodland Owner Survey data to better understand similarities and differences between family forest owners who also own farmland, and those who do not. We found that, in general, farmland and woodland owners (FWOs) are very similar to woodland-only family forest landowners (FFOs) in terms of ownership objectives, attitudes and forest management activities. However, FWOs are less likely to have under 40 acres (16.2 ha) of forestland, more likely to live on their wooded land, and more likely to own their woodlands as a place to raise their family than woodland-only FFOs. While there is potential for dual forms of outreach, technical and financial assistance, and peer networks as both an agricultural landowner and a forest landowner, forest management behaviors of FWOs do not significantly differ from that of woodland-only FFOs. Professionals from agricultural or forestry extension, soil and water conservation organizations, and others responsible for delivering both agricultural and forestry programs and policy tools could explore opportunities to connect FWOs to both types of landowner programs that can assist them with forest management.
