RETRACTED: College Business English teaching in the context of multimedia network

With the advent of the Internet age, network information technology is rapidly entering college English classes, which fundamentally changes the mode of college English teaching. In college English classroom teaching mode, as a brand teaching form, College English multimedia network teaching environment has brought advantages to classroom teaching, but also brought about impacts on teaching concepts, teaching models, teaching methods and other aspects. There are some phenomena that are inconsistent with the reform model at the students, teachers and the environment. The balance of traditional English classroom teaching has been broken, which has affected the smooth progress of college business English classroom teaching mode reform. It is very important to analyze and resolve these imbalances and find ecological methods for optimizing university English education. In this context, the advent of multimedia-assisted education technology has provided better conditions for the implementation of Business English classroom education in universities. Multimedia-powered business English education allows teachers to create a better language learning environment in class more conveniently and quickly, helping students acquire grammar knowledge and achieve their educational objectives.

Investigation on the influence of parents' education level on children's education—— Take Dakutu Village, a minority village in Minhe County as an example

Family is the initial social place for individuals, which constructs the most basic cultural environment and living space that affects children. As social actors, parents' cultural level and professional status are the two most important indicators and factors that affect the family cultural environment. The influence of parents' education level, occupation and family economic status on children's studies is one of the most important factors besides school. Children's education and growth are closely related to their families. Because of remote terrain, backward economy, cultural constraints and other factors, the overall level of education in ethnic minority areas is relatively low, the progress of reform and development of ethnic education is still very slow, and the defects in the development of ethnic education are obvious. In this paper, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 100 families in Dakutu Village, a minority village in Minhe County. The rates of parents with no education, primary school, junior high school/vocational high school and above were 30%, 59% and 11% respectively, and the excellent and good rates of their children's academic achievements were 5%, 21.2% and 73.8% respectively. From the perspective of parents' occupation, the ratios of cadres and families, going out to work, and farming at home are 2%, 55%, and 43%, respectively. The mental health problems of children from parents who go out to work are the most serious, with a ratio of 75%; Parents with relatively low education level can't put forward reasonable expectations for their children's development, which is also the main factor leading to children's mental health problems. Based on the field investigation of different families in Dakutu Village, a minority village, this paper analyzes parents' educational level and its influence on children's education through the intermediary of parents' educational values and professional status, with a view to exploring better educational methods and concepts.

Implications of Reforms for Erstwhile FATA: A Critical Analysis

The FATA reform process is not a one-time exercise that could be completed through certain legal and administrative action but is a multi-dimensional process with short, medium and longer-term dimensions. The government has set up an 11-member task force to speed up the implementation process and pay special attention to the proposed legal reforms, FATA’s development and the security mainstreaming of FATA. To oversee this process, a high-powered National Implementation Committee, set up in 2017, is tasked to regularly review the progress of the FATA reform on the basis of periodical reports of the Task Force. The proposed reforms packages, besides envisaging reforms at different spheres, also aims to bring bringing about brighter socio-economic prospects to the tribal areas. It could be said that the reforms are also pivoted around boosting the socio-economic status of the tribal people. This paper presents a critical analysis of the merger plan and also critically examines the implications of reforms for FATA.

Empirical Analysis on the Performance of Rural Credit Cooperative’s Shareholding Reform Based on the Rationale of Isomorphic Incentive Compatibility

Rural economic development helps reduce the income inequality in China. Existing studies show the positive effects of rural reforms, however, whether the rural credit cooperative’s shareholding reform promotes rural economic development and whether effects are exerted through the synergism between agricultural producers and rural financial institutions remain unclear yet. Employing the rationale of isomorphic incentive compatibility from system science, we analyze the necessity and influencing conduit of rural credit cooperative’s shareholding reform theoretically. Analysis shows that only the financial services from rural commercial banks can promote the modernized production, and thus the synergism between them drives rural economic development. Then we make empirical analysis on the effect with a Chinese provincial sample. Comparing to provinces with lower reform progress, the provinces with greater reform progress are influenced more prominently by this reform. Applying coupling coordination degree model, the coordination between agricultural production and rural banking development shows obvious increase, especially after the formal implementation of shareholding reform on rural credit cooperative. Empirical results indicate that this synergism plays positive roles in promoting agricultural growth and reducing the urban–rural income gap. In addition, these effects are more pronounced after the formal implementation of shareholding reform.

Major emerging entities contribute to mathematical analysis, promote the transaction design of emerging entities, and promote the rapid and healthy development of new energy.

The research on the transition of green agriculture to the industrialization path of supply-side reform

Under the background of the steady progress of the structural reform of the agricultural supply side, the rural ecological agriculture in the transition stage is faced with a series of bottlenecks and problems such as the lag of production technology renewal, the single management mechanism and the aggravation of environmental degradation. It is difficult to effectively form a new form of green, coordinated and sustainable development. Therefore, we should make full use of the favorable conditions such as policy support and institutional guarantee given by the structural reform of the agricultural supply side, and introduce efficient and innovative production and management models around the industrial upgrading, so as to promote the low-carbon, intensive and diversified transformation of the existing ecological agriculture operation system.

Regional Power Market Impact in Competitive Power Market: A Case Study in Zhejiang

Along with the progress of the electricity market reform, the formulation of electricity prices and the bidding in the electricity market have become hot issues. Given that electricity price contains a variety of information in the electricity market and reflects market changes, insufficient understanding of electricity prices or improper response will not only affect the revenue of power supply companies, but also have adverse effects on consumers in the downstream of the electricity market. Taking Zhejiang Province as an example, this paper uses a Multi-objective optimization based on genetic algorithm to calculate the optimal power structure of Zhejiang Province under a competitive electricity market environment and evaluate the impact of the market. The results show that as the market reduces the transaction cost of purchased power, the purchased power to Zhejiang Province has a significant positive role in power cost, stability and cleanliness. The electricity cost could be cut down by 18.3 billion yuan, which is 0.04 yuan/kWh. In terms of cleanliness and stability of electricity consumption, the competitive electricity market will also bring about benefits by 2.43% and 1.64% respectively.

Socio-economic viability of public management in the context of European integration processes

The European Union forms new requirements for the efficiency of public institutions and the gradual transformation of public management. The relationship between the viability of public management to solve internal problems and the dynamics of socio-economic development is obvious. So, the evaluation of the viability of public institutions’ actions related to the socio-economic processes in any country has theoretical and practical significance. The purpose of our study is to assess the socio-economic viability of public management in the context of European integration processes. Within the article, a comprehensive study of the public management viability in EU countries is presented. The specificity of the study is to assess the socio-economic viability of public management on the basis of economic and social indicators of EU countries. According to the overview of scientific works it is a need to use a comprehensive indicator of public management viability evaluation. So, the considerable attention is paid to the deepening of methodical aspects of public management effectiveness on the basis of multicriteria methods. The result of the study is the calculation of the Socio-Economic Viability Index of Public Management. The obtained results prove the relationship between the SocioEconomic Viability Index of Public Management and the progress of economic reforms in the EU, with the possibility of appropriate conclusions for countries to identify strengths and weaknesses, justify priorities and means to achieve them in the context of European integration. These conclusions can be used as a starting point to assess the relationship between the level of development of the European country and the quality of its public management. The study confirmed the thesis on the correlation between the SocioEconomic Viability Index of Public Management and Happy Planet Index, The Global Competitiveness Index, Corruption Perceptions Index, Fragile States Index and сonfirm the possibility of using this indicator to assess public management quality in EU countries.

WHY DID POST-SOVIET RUSSIA NOT FOLLOW THE "CHINESE PATH" OF REFORMS?

Analyzing the progress of reforms in the two countries, A.V. Kiva emphasizes that China managed to reform the country in an evolutionary way without the shocks that the Russian Federation went through. Deng Xiaoping's team carefully developed a reform model, including ways to get outside investment, technology, and expertise. At the same time, the emphasis was placed on internal development, and the authorities refused any geopolitical projects in order to save money. Already at the beginning of the reforms, the emphasis was placed on the development of the industrial and innovative sector in the economy and the creation of a strong export potential in order to obtain currency and increase investment in the economy. At the same time, Deng Xiaoping instructed his colleagues not to quarrel with anyone, not to react to unfriendly statements against China, no matter where they came from. As for Russia, the team of young reformers led by Yegor Gaidar did not develop their own model of reforms, but borrowed it from the United States and implemented it with the participation of American advisers. This model is made in the spirit of neoliberalism and a priori was disastrous for Russia. In the zero years, the model has changed, but the problem of transferring the country's raw material economy to the rails of industrial and innovative development has not been solved. Russia, as the legal successor of the USSR, became embroiled in expensive geopolitical projects, quarreled with a number of influential countries, and failed to evade sanctions that hindered its development.

THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF THE REPUBLIC OF NORTHERN MACEDONIA

COVID-19 not only endangers human health but also hits hard on the economy. Isolation and paralysis of public life hits the economies of every country. Before analyzing the links between COVID-19 and the possible economic crisis, we can say that the crises in capitalism are inherent and the virus should be seen as a spark which accelerates the turbines that shake the system.
 However, while insufficient to predict the extent of the damage that COVID-19 could do to the economy, this starting point is sufficient to anticipate the chain effects. The immediate effect of all these restrictions is the decline in economic activity, which results in declining production and rising prices. We can say that there is a direct cause-and-effect correlation between the virus and the crisis.
 The economy of the Republic of Northern Macedonia has been hit hard by the Covid 19. pandemic. These six months have paralyzed almost all sectors of the economy in the country. Government aid packages were more social while those for business still remain unused.
 Companies in northern Macedonia have already been severely affected. The closure of many businesses is accompanied by the dismissal of many workers, which is also associated with a social crisis.Growth in the country for 2020 is projected to be between -1.4 and -3.2 percent - which provides a baseline and unfavorable scenario due to the high uncertainty brought about by the pandemic.
 In Northern Macedonia, improving governance and strengthening institutions are long-term policies that can address the main causes of continued emigration, in order to maintain a skilled workforce. This can be achieved by accelerating job creation, promoting the private sector, investing in higher education and increasing opportunities for women in the economy.
 The capital of the diaspora influences the maintenance of social stability and the reduction of poverty in Macedonia and in the future the state should take it more seriously the investments of the diaspora.
 Weak administrative capacity can cancel the implementation of reforms as well as large critical projects implemented with state guarantees. Political instability and insufficient reform progress could reduce investor confidence.
 Northern Macedonia's accession to NATO and the official invitation of the EU Council to open negotiations for EU membership should help accelerate the recovery.

ІНОЗЕМНЕ ІНВЕСТУВАННЯ В ЕКОНОМІКУ УКРАЇНИ: МАСШТАБИ, СТРУКТУРА, ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ

The experience of many countries around the world shows the effectiveness of attracting foreign direct investment to the economy. The purpose of the paper is to study the processes of foreign direct investment in the economy of Ukraine, its amount, structure, and prospects for development, as well as to find ways to intensify investment inflows to the country. The article examines the investment attractiveness of Ukraine on the basis of the index of investment attractiveness, calculated by the European Business Association in 2009-2017 years. According to the European Business Association data it has been established that in recent years businesses in Ukraine have not noticed any new negative factors for investment activity, but many unfavorable factors from previous years remain the same (high interest rates on bank loans; high level of corruption; slow pace of reforms; lack of progress in judicial and land reforms, etc.). The dynamics of inflows and outflows of foreign direct investment in Ukraine in 2008-2018 years is analyzed. It is established that for the last six years the country has not reached a significant increase in foreign direct investment at the level of 2008. The structure of foreign direct investment in Ukraine by types of economic activity is studied. It is established that investors are ready to invest only in already developed areas of activity: wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles, and financial and insurance activities, which provide a sufficient level of profitability. A short-term forecast of the inflow of foreign investments to Ukraine with the help of econometric analysis is developed, a graphic model is built. It is provided that if the trend described by the model is observed in the future, the amount of foreign direct investment inflows will increase in 2020-2021 years. The main recommended measures for Ukrainian government for the improvement of the investment activity in the country are optimization of the tax system, improvement of the procedure for payment of customs duties and taxes, creation of a system of legal protection for foreign investors, etc.

Unintended Consequences of the Global Derivatives Market Reform

We investigate regulatory arbitrage during the G20’s global derivatives market reform. Using hand-collected data on staggered reform progress, we find that banks shift their trading towards less regulated jurisdictions. The result is driven by agenda items – such as the promotion of central clearing – that are costly, but do not directly benefit banks. We further document that subsidiaries in jurisdictions with more reform progress shift to riskier portfolios. Alleviating endogeneity concerns we show that reform progress is primarily driven by structural (time-invariant) factors.

Research on the Application of Ideological Consultation based on Computer Information in College Ideological and Political Education

With the continuous progress of reform and opening up, ideological and political education is also facing new adjustments. Faced with the increasing ideological problems of College students, ideological and political education should reopen a new educational model to resolve the ideological contradictions of College students. So, it is necessary to fully understand the value of ideological counseling in Ideological and political education. At the same time, when it comes to outlook on world, life and values, college students’psychological counseling seems powerless. Only by means of ideological consultation, can we correctly solve some ideological problems. So, the establishment of ideological consultation mechanism is the product of the times and social needs. At the same time, the development of computer information technology has helped us solve the problems we are facing. This paper first analyses the current situation of ideological problems faced by college students, and then analyses the specific methods of ideological counseling. Finally, this paper puts forward some methods of collaborative mode construction between ideological counseling based on computer information technology and ideological and political education.

Agriculture of Novosibirsk Oblast in the 1980s and Early 1990s: Development and Reform Problems

The research reveals the peculiarities of agricultural development in the Novosibirsk region at the late Soviet stage in order to find out concrete and reliable ideas about the causes, progress and consequences of agrarian reform of the early 1990s. We analyzed the changes in the organizational, economic and sectoral structure of the industry, the problems of the functioning of the collective farm and state farm system and the implementation of measures in the region to resolve them, factors that contributed to the growth and decline of agricultural production are analyzed. The content, directions and some economic consequences of the implementation of the agrarian reform of 1990 in the Novosibirsk region. In the 1980s the agro-industrial complex of the region developed due to the specialization and concentration of production, inter-farm cooperation of collective and state farms, their integration with industrial and trade organizations. The production of pork, poultry, eggs grew, and the gross grain harvest increased. The factors in the development of agriculture were the use of intensive technologies and favorable weather conditions. For agriculture in the Novosibirsk Region, the eleventh five-year plan (1981-1985) began with two consecutive lean years. The years of the twelfth five-year plan (1986-1990) were generally more productive. Agriculture did not meet the growing demand of the population for food. The material and technical resources of the industry have been largely wasted. Collective and state farm workers did not see any sense in increasing production productivity and sought to move to cities that attracted them with a higher standard of living. Attempts to improve the situation by democratizing management system in collective and state farms and by means of incentives for personal subsidiary plots did not produced desired results. The development of contractor relations in collective and state farms, rural settlements and the production base of farms looked like a more promising direction in the evolution of the agrarian sector of the economy. In 1990, due to the low growth rates of agricultural production, the government launched an agrarian reform, which opened the way for further development of the socio-economic infrastructure of the village, multi-structure and market. However, radical reformers insisted on forced transition to market relations and cut of state aid to producers. The implementation of these policies has led to negative consequences.
