Expanding lake and the landless pastoralists in pastoral Tibet, China

ABSTRACT This paper argues that everyday politics are instrumental in negotiating development outcomes despite the pervasive influence of centralised state power. The paper highlights the fluidity and adaptability of Chinese policy formulation, emphasizing local learning and improvisation. This is especially important for pastoral communities in remote rangelands, where land appropriation and environmental exploitation are increasingly evident. The paper sheds light on the influential role of everyday political practices in shaping outcomes within the Chinese context, while simultaneously contesting simplistic portrayals of top-down state planning in China. By emphasizing the existence of manoeuvrability and opportunities for negotiation within this framework, the paper advocates for a nuanced understanding of governance dynamics and power relations in the Chinese context.

Public pension contract minimalism

AbstractThe national pension debt and COVID crises have collided. Post‐pandemic economic decline has escalated existing financial strains on state and local pension plans, impacting workers and the public welfare. With unfunded obligations exceeding one trillion dollars, many of these plans are in jeopardy. But the movement to reform government pension contracts has yet to adopt an anchoring idea, leaving judicial decisions in disarray and policymakers without guidance about how to shore up troubled retirement systems. The crux of the problem is the many meanings of contract under state and US Contract Clauses that prevent pension reform. This Essay endorses a promising path forward—contract minimalism. “Contract minimalism” concentrates on the duration of government pension contracts. It posits that public and private employment law should be treated the same. Like its private law counterpart, public sector employment at‐will ought to consist of a daily contract interval. A contract‐a‐day concept entitles employers to change the plan prospectively, with employees receiving a proportionate share of benefits for work performed. Just as several agreements safeguard salaries for labor, they should also mirror the protection afforded to deferred benefits like pensions. Contract minimalism additionally puts public and private sector employers on the same legal footing as to the authority to change pension plan terms. Thus, it aligns public pension benefits with overlapping fields of law, placing them on a firm conceptual foundation. The minimalist approach also has the advantage over approaches that are insufficiently attentive to scarce government resources or employee old‐age security. By protecting pension benefits early and incrementally, it advances a middle path with fairer, more coherent results. In the present post‐pandemic era of hard choices, minimalism provides an equilibrium between the over‐ and under‐protection of pension benefits.

Концептуальні рамки управління борговим фінансуванням публічних бюджетів

Introduction. Overcoming the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and full-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine caused the destruction of a stable system of managing financial flows not only in our country, but also in many states. Market and regulatory mechanisms for mobilization and the use of financial resources were undermined. Fiscal consolidation measures were changed in favor of expansion. The need to increase the resource base on the basis of state debt has intensified. The use of standardized approaches in the field of fiscal policy did not make it possible to limit risks under new conditions. The task of implementing new conceptual approaches to the management of public budget financing based on the use of debt instruments has arisen. Problem Statement. An increase in debt financing of public budgets helps to expand the volume of resources for the implementation of state plans. At the same time, the pressure on the financial system is growing, which requires making significant changes to the formation of the structure of debt instruments, their placement on domestic and foreign financial markets, attraction of resources on preferential terms from foreign partners, fulfillment of repayment and servicing obligations, refinancing and restructuring of loans. Determining rational management decisions on these issues involves the development of a conceptual framework for public debt financing. The purpose is to study the formation of a conceptual framework for managing debt financing of public budgets and their use in the practice of public administration. Methods. Research methods are used: historical, logical, abstraction, description, generalization, comparison, grouping, analysis and synthesis. Results. The adoption of the debt framework guides the definition of debt strategy, debt management goals, indicators of its volume and structure, debt management tasks, as well as mechanisms and tools for their implementation. The debt strategy reflects the orientation of the debt policy, the goals of public debt management for long and medium-term periods, its indicators, the use of tools and mechanisms for achieving the adopted goals, the formation of the debt portfolio for the specified terms, the classification of risks of government debt management taking into account their impact on the performance of state budget, the application of refinancing and restructuring mechanisms for state liabilities. Conclusions. The conceptual framework for managing debt financing of public budget is an important guiding document aimed at taking into account the conditions for placing debt obligations among investors (state institutions, non-state depositors, non-residents), access to international financial markets, cooperation with international organizations and financial institutions, acceptance of debt portfolio (the structure of state budget financing), built according to types of debt instruments, sources of financing, currencies of loan repayment and servicing, repayment terms, loan servicing rates and debt refinancing. The development and implementation of the conceptual framework for the management of public debt transactions is important for Ukraine. In the conditions of overcoming the consequences of the war and post-war reconstruction, it is necessary to apply a comprehensive approach to the formation, distribution and use of resources raised on the basis of the use of public debt instruments.

Counter‐Mapping, Counter‐Histories, and Insurgencies of Subjugated Knowledges in the Fisher Struggle for Ennore Creek

AbstractThe Ennore wetlands in North Chennai, India were once dense with diverse habitats and interwoven histories. Many of these histories began to unravel from the 1960s onwards, when state‐sponsored heavy industry began encroaching into and polluting the wetlands. Local fishers, whose lives, livelihoods, and cultural worlds were ignored by these changes, fought back in a campaign to reclaim and restore the wetlands. This paper analyses how the Save Ennore Creek Campaign and Ennore fishers used counter‐mapping strategies to reveal the state's wilful suppression of fisher knowledge and worldviews using maps and plans. It draws from decolonial and ignorance studies literatures to analyse the campaign's counter‐maps as cartographic, performative, and affective insurrections of subjugated knowledges and counter‐histories that un‐made the state's maps and plans, exposed the state's knowledge as wilful ignorance and spotlighted geographical knowledge from the margins as a way of remaking reality and opening up possibilities of alternative futures for the creek and its communities.

State-level trends in access to Medicaid family planning services, 2008-2023.

To characterize the landscape of policies that determine eligibility for family planning services through Medicaid programs and describe trends in eligibility and its determinants over time. Secondary data were collected for all states in the United States for the years 2008 through 2023. Data on economic and demographic characteristics came from the American Community Survey (ACS). Our descriptive study characterized state adoptions of Medicaid family planning section 1115 waivers and state plan amendments (SPA) and their eligibility criteria. We then estimated the proportion of women aged 19-44 years who were eligible for family planning services through Medicaid and identified the key determinants of changes in eligibility, by state and year. Information on state Medicaid policies was extracted from documentation on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services website. When estimating the eligible population sizes, the denominator was women aged 19-44 years, the group most likely to be eligible for Medicaid family planning programs. Supplemental data on program enrollment or utilization were collected from states' websites and reports. Though eligibility limits for family planning through Medicaid generally increased over time, the proportion of women aged 19-44 years eligible for at least limited benefits decreased from 45.0% in 2012 to 39.4% in 2022, largely because of increases in household income. Trends varied considerably across states and by eligibility pathway. Among women with incomes below the poverty level, the proportion who were not eligible for Medicaid family planning services decreased from 6.3% in 2013 to 1.5% in 2022. Our data demonstrated substantial geographic and temporal variation in eligibility for family planning services through Medicaid. We identified key drivers of eligibility changes that may have important implications for health services analyses of means-tested public programs.

Wartime Manchukuo’s Photography Registration System: Mutō Tomio’s Bureaucratic Approach to Photography

This article examines Manchukuo’s photography registration system (1940) that the bureaucrat Mutō Tomio introduced. Conceived to utilize photography for propaganda purposes, the registration system significantly changed the production of photographs in Manchuria, ushering in a bureaucrat-led artistic climate that embraced reform bureaucrats’ vision of state planning. I begin by examining how Mutō’s perspectives on bureaucracy, state-building, and corporatism embodied the core principles of reform bureaucrats. Then, I investigate how the ideals of these civil servants were articulated by the photography registration system, organizing the discussion into three sections that focus on ideology, organization, and technology; these focuses correspond to content, institutional structures, and form in art, respectively. In sum, imperial Japan’s war with China necessitated a justification for mobilization, which was expressed in the war ideology hakkō ichiu (“the eight corners of the world under one roof”). This ideology was conveyed by photographs of loyal-spirit towers (chūreitō). To solidify the state’s control over cultural production, the government organized and established a leader-based system for the photography world. The importance of technology for the war effort ended the existing photographic propaganda model guided by Fuchikami Hakuyō. His “dark” aesthetic was considered undesirable; instead, a modernist aesthetic was favored for registered pictures.

Knowledge popularization in a technocratic-populist context, or how the Israeli state shaped media coverage of large-scale urban plans

In this study, we examine recent actions taken by the Israeli state to naturalize technocratic understandings of land-use plans through the mass media, and assess the implications of this for power-knowledge relations between the state, planners and citizens. Our research focuses on the years 2013–2018, when state planners and officials began working with PR agents to promulgate state-generated, pro-growth representations of plans through mainstream media outlets. We focus on coverage of three types of large-scale plans, all of which involve complex and varied knowledge contents: city master plans, new neighborhood plans, and urban renewal plans. Using critical discourse analysis and semi-structured interviews with key planners and journalists, we examined what kinds of knowledge and information about these plans were conveyed, and how. We found that a significant percentage (some 40%) of the articles published during this period were based directly on state-issued press releases, and exclusively conveyed state-sanctioned perspectives. We interpret this as an attempt by the state to highlight its own role in planning and housing, while taking advantage of journalists' lack of planning knowledge and pressure to publish in order to construct ‘citizen-technocrats’ whose knowledge mirrors that of state-affiliated actors. We situate these findings within the emerging academic discourse on “technocratic populism,” a form of governance in which populist regimes communicate technocratic knowledge directly to citizens, and show how mis/disinformation tactics usually associated with populist discourse now appear in planning communications in Israel. This practice, we argue, has served to entrench a shift toward a centralized form of neoliberalism, while promoting illiberal conceptions of state-citizen relations in the planning context.

Экономический конституционализм в эпоху Советского государства

The author characterizes the main tendency of the Russian legal science of recent years called constitutionalization and such unfailingly relevant topic as the economic condition of Russia to review the issues of the status of state economies expressed as the struggle of states for sovereignty; against this background, the article mentions a historical example of the growing economic strength of the USSR reached as a result of development of the State Plan of the USSR, the focus of which was predetermined by succession of the two Soviet constitutions of 1918 and 1924.

6607 Impact of Day of Admission on Hypoglycemia

Abstract Disclosure: S. Neupane: None. B. Neupane: None. S. Karki: None. A. Bhandari: None. M. Quartuccio: None. Introduction: The day of admission, whether on a weekend or a weekday, plays a pivotal role in hospital mortality and outcomes, with studies indicating increased adjusted hospital mortality rates across various diseases. Hypoglycemia, a common complication seen in hospitalized patients, has not been extensively studied concerning its association with weekend admissions. Objective of the study: This research aims to investigate and compare the impact of weekend versus weekday admissions on mortality rates, length of hospital stays, total hospitalization costs, and various other outcomes related to hypoglycemia. Methods: Utilizing the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) for the years 2017 through 2020, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients (age >18) diagnosed with hypoglycemia. Disease and outcome codes were determined through the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), and data analysis was performed using STATA. Multivariate regression analysis adjusted for potential variables while the student t-test and Fisher exact test were employed for comparing continuous and proportional variables, respectively. The primary outcome of the study was mortality, with secondary outcomes encompassing length of stay (LOS), total hospitalization costs, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), septic shock, pulmonary edema, acute respiratory failure (ARF), mechanical ventilation, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute kidney injury (AKI), and cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). Results: Among 804,164 hypoglycemia patients, 199,474 were admitted on weekends. Significant findings included higher mortality rates (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.08, 10.58% vs. 9.81%, p < 0.001), reduced mean LOS (adjusted mean difference = -0.32, 6.94 days vs. 7.3 days, p < 0.001), and lower total hospitalization charges (adjusted mean difference= -$3713, $81,026 vs. $84,471, p < 0.001) in weekend admissions. Additionally, weekend admissions exhibited increased rates of septic shock, ARF, mechanical ventilation, and AKI. There were no differences in the rates of ACS, pulmonary edema, ARDS, and CVA. Trends indicated rising mortality rates, longer hospital stays, and increased costs for weekend and weekday admissions over the three-year study period. Conclusion: Weekend admissions for hypoglycemia are associated with unfavorable outcomes, including higher mortality rates, septic shock, mechanical ventilation rates, AKI, and ARF compared to weekday admissions. However, weekend admissions showed a decrease in the mean length of hospital stay and total hospitalization charges. Ongoing analysis of the underlying causes driving these outcomes is imperative for informing state and federal planning strategies aimed at mitigating these issues. Presentation: 6/1/2024

Forecast, analytical and trend analysis of the development of the agro-industrial complex of Russia in the main agri-food markets as an area of state strategic guidelines

Abstract The modern structure of the Russian agro-industrial complex has the properties of consolidation, expansion and prevalence of agricultural organizations and agricultural holdings, as evidenced by the factor of their provision for about two-thirds of the total agricultural production. This circumstance states the growing dominance of large agricultural business and the progressive evolution of the agricultural sector, as well as the reduction in the importance of individual farms of the population. In the course of the study, the current state of development of the agro-industrial complex of Russia is considered, a forecast, analytical and trend analysis of the development of the domestic agro-industrial complex is carried out through the prism of the fundamental agri-food markets and the contours of the subsequent progress in the development of the agricultural sector in the context of the evolving restructuring of the social, economic and political situation are determined. The novelty of the research lies in the presentation of forecast estimates and trends in the development of the main agri-food markets of the Russian agro-industrial complex, which determine the presumptive transformation of the agrarian mechanism of Russia in the medium and long term: destabilization of international political and trade-economic cooperation, intensification of economic restrictive measures, as well as fundamentally new state priorities. The agricultural sector of the economy tends to react extremely sharply to the current situation in recent years, manifested in unstable international economic relations and foreign policy crises, which directly negatively affects the conditions for the functioning of the agricultural business. The presented forecast scenario for the development of agri-food markets will contribute to the formation of directions for state strategic management, planning and regulation of the agro-industrial complex for the medium and long term.

Demonstrating a decision support process for landscape conservation design

AbstractDespite the recent increase in landscape conservation and the design processes agencies are undertaking, there remains an implementation gap due to an inability to evaluate general strategies and account for uncertainties faced by managers. We demonstrated how a decision support process (DSP), recently developed to inform landscape conservation design, can address uncertainties and complexities inherent in landscape conservation to facilitate long‐term, large‐scale conservation planning. We applied the DSP to landscape conservation efforts within conservation opportunity areas (COA) of states in the Gulf Coastal Plains and Ozarks region. We engaged state planners within the region to identify important landscape conservation uncertainties they face in planning. We developed, simulated, and modeled the impacts of conservation addressing 3 uncertainties identified by state wildlife managers and evaluated the impacts by examining the responses of state and local populations of 2 bird species of conservation concern, prairie warbler (Setophaga discolor) and wood thrush (Hylocichla mustelina). The responses of prairie warbler populations to conservation strategies indicated that both approaches of protecting quality habitat from land‐use change and restoring and enhancing lower quality and nonhabitat improved their viability at regional, statewide, and COA scales. However, we noted that the relative effectiveness of strategies varied among states in ways that suggest a state's process for delineating COAs and what threats they face could influence which conservation approach to consider. Our findings highlight the need for regional coordination and the use of decision‐support processes to guide effective conservation at landscape scales.

Institutional Quality in Green and Digital Transition of EU Regions – A Recovery and Resilience Analysis

AbstractThis paper assesses the National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) of EU member states and regions to uncover commonalities and differences between green and digital transitions, focusing on the role of institutions, among additional socio‐economic drivers, in modeling them. To that end, relevant indicators have been assembled, and several econometric models have been developed and tested to evaluate institutional performance in relation to green and digital transformations. The study reveals discrepancies in the two explored transition fields and highlights the power of institutional factors in boosting them. Specifically, the findings demonstrate that the green transition in EU regions is positively associated with variables such as life expectancy, institutional quality, tertiary education attainment, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with innovative activities, while the fruits of digitalization are mainly allied to population with higher studies, core creative class employment, accountability of institutions, and innovative SMEs. These insights offer valuable guidance for decision‐makers to draw lessons from high‐performing or successful regions and strategically assign resources. This includes paying attention to regional financial allocations and their alignment with territorial planning and long‐term policies.

Public Willingness to Mask and Vaccinate in the Future: Results From a 2023 Nationally Representative Survey of US Adults.

The enduring spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses highlights a need for greater focus on long-term public willingness to perform protective behaviors. Although COVID-19 is no longer considered a public health emergency of international concern, it is unknown whether people in the United States plan to continue protective behaviors to protect themselves and others against infection. To inform planning and communications, we used a nationally representative survey of 1,936 US adults to examine attitudes and intentions toward future vaccination and mask-wearing. A majority believed COVID-19 vaccines were safe (73%) and effective in protecting against serious illness (72%). One-third (33%) had strong intentions to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine most years in the future. Among those with weaker intentions (n=1,287), many cited concerns about safety (71%) and efficacy (64%), lack of trust in institutions (64%), or beliefs that prior vaccination or infection protected them (62%). Approximately two-thirds (69%) of respondents believed masks were effective in protecting the wearer from getting COVID-19, and a majority appeared moderately receptive to future public mask-wearing, particularly when there was proximate risk of infection from COVID-19 (67%) or other respiratory viruses (59%). Men, non-Hispanic White adults, younger adults, rural residents, and adults with higher incomes, without college degrees, and without serious medical conditions or physical limitations were more likely to indicate resistance toward future COVID-19 vaccination and/or mask-wearing. Findings support tailored messaging to address concerns and opportunities among different populations, as well as support for communications programs and community engagement to motivate future uptake.

Проблема привлечения несовершеннолетних к восстановлению народного хозяйства СССР в первые послевоенные годы (на материалах Донбасса)

The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the problem of attracting minors to the restoration of the national economy of the USSR in the first post–war years (based on the material of the Ukrainian SSR). The article examines the main forms and methods of involving children and adolescents in the rehabilitation process, analyzes the material, household and regulatory support for the work of young workers. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the fact that for the first time, based on the material of the Ukrainian SSR, a complex of historical sources and scientific literature is analyzed and systematized in order to highlight the problem of attracting minors to the restoration of the national economy of the USSR in the first post-war years. As a result of the study, it was found that the large losses of the population following the Great Patriotic War and the need to implement state plans led to such a policy of the Soviet leadership, which was aimed at increasing the quantitative indicators of the attracted workforce, designed to restore the industrial potential of the state. Therefore, minors have become one of the most important labor reserves in the process of restoring the national economy. This program was implemented in two directions: in educational institutions of labor reserves and short-term training of underage workers directly at work. Despite the clear regulatory and legal regulation of the issue of attracting minors to work, this process often occurred with significant violations.

Glimpses of embodied utopias, why Moroccan and Swiss farmers engage in alternative agricultures

AbstractGeographies of food are not only shaped by political economic forces but also by individuals who resist dominant ways of subjectivation. Based on ethnographic research on forty-seven agroecological farms in Switzerland and Morocco, this article proposes a philosophical reconsideration of the role of utopia, hope and enchantment in shaping people’s actions. It contributes to the understanding of the emotional, spiritual and embodied experiences that lead farmers to engage in alternative agricultures at the margins of state planning and agro-industry. The adoption of an etic research approach to ‘alternativity’ allows me to capture ‘quiet alternativities’, or farming experiences with beneficial socio-ecological outcomes but which are not represented as alternative or disruptive by the farmers themselves. This is especially important for Swiss and Moroccan farmers who do not always identify with a social movement or express any explicit opposition to agricultural policies and the dominant agri-food system, although their practices may effectively incorporate an alternative experience from where to envision different agri-cultures. Drawing from diverse conceptions of utopia, hope and enchantment, I unravel different manifestations of utopia as mental creations of ‘no-where’ and as embodied experiences of ‘no-when’. This enables me to attend to ‘quiet expressions’ of hope manifested not in speech but in daily practices and to discuss farmers’ motives to engage in alternative agricultures, despite a sometimes bleak outlook. I theorise these multiple experiences as ‘glimpses of utopias’ to explore the embodied and embedded dimensions of utopia to broaden what utopia can mean beyond purely speculative thinking.

Natural and Regulative-Imperative in the Spatial Development of Russia

Organic spatial development is possible under the condition of a reasonable combination of naturalness and regulation of spatially conditioned processes and phenomena. In different periods, the ratio of these principles is different. In Soviet times, spatial development was absolutely dominated by comprehensive directive state planning and management. In the 1990s of post-Soviet reforms, there was a sharp turn towards immoderate and spontaneous decentralization of the spatial organization of life. In the 2000s, counter-reforms began a rapid return to the strengthening of state regulation in this area, which in many respects turned out to be excessive in terms of tasks and costs and unjustified in expectations. The meaning and content, tools and planned results of the current state policy of spatial development are concentrated in the “Strategy of Spatial Development of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2025”, which claims to be a doctrinal document of modern regional policy. Its development and adoption were accompanied by a multitude of expert comments – from unconditionally apologetic to acutely critical. As the deadline for the end of the strategy approaches, a comprehensive assessment of its effectiveness and effectiveness becomes relevant, especially in connection with the preparation of a new strategy until 2030. The authors see the cornerstone drawback of the current strategy in ignoring the systemic nature of the spatial organization of society, which should be interpreted as an anthropogenic megasystem with its inherent systemic features of integrity, structural organization, direct and reverse connections, with a powerful potential for natural self-organization and selfdevelopment, supplemented in the special transitional conditions of post-Soviet spatial transformations by the regulatory influence on them from the outside State. The authors also emphasize that due to the unprecedented post-Soviet transitional spatial realities, it is impossible to count on diligent study and direct borrowing of foreign experience, due to its inadequacy of the modern Russian situation.

Mobile caringscapes. Walking as an infrastructure of care in disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Sweden

The welfare state planning of the Nordic countries can be said to have been carried out as political acts of state care and concern of (some of) their citizens, to tackle poverty and poor housing conditions, and provide more equal living conditions for the whole population. The Million Programme Housing Project (MP) was an ambitious project carried out to combat housing shortage in Sweden in the 1960s and 1970s, which also resulted in traffic separation, car-free courtyards and housing blocks, and recreational green infrastructure. By analysing accounts of walking in 47 interviews around the everyday mobilities of 31 families living in three disadvantaged MP areas in three cities in Sweden, we suggest that the walking practices can be regarded as ‘caringscapes’. The narratives of the participants illuminate how walking is both self-care, other-care, and neighbourhood-care. Taken together, these different facets of ‘caringscapes’ of walking are further discussed in relation to walking as an enacted and practiced infrastructure of care. This conceptual framework of care captures the different experiential facets of walking and highlights the embodied, interdependent, and relational aspects of walking.

Evolution of agricultural machinery parts restoration industry in Russia

The paper shows the effectiveness of agricultural machinery parts restoration by reducing metal and fuel consumption as well as labor costs. (Research purpose) The paper analyzes the evolution of the machine part restoration system during the agricultural industrialization process in Russia, and explores the role of industrial science in developing methodologies for machine repairing and part restoration. (Materials and methods) Publications on the history of the parts restoration industry were thoroughly reviewed. Special attention was given to the decrees issued by Soviet government bodies, including the targeted comprehensive program of the State Committee of Science and Technology, the USSR State Planning Committee, and the State Committee for Agricultural Technology. These programs were aimed at establishing and expanding the production base for the repair and restoration of agricultural machinery parts. (Results and discussion) In the early stages of agricultural industrialization, equipment repairs primarily involved the use of new spare parts, while worn parts were typically discarded for remelting. A significant advancement in parts restoration was the introduction of repair sizes for crankshafts and cylinder liners. Since 1975, the cost of maintaining equipment has surged sharply due to the prices of new spare parts. The paper also presents an analysis of the efforts by the All-Union Scientific and Production Association «Remdetal» to develop flow-mechanized lines and equipment for restoring agricultural machinery parts. (Conclusions) The paper illustrates the significant growth in parts restoration volumes, rising from 68 million rubles in 1965 to 539 million rubles in 1988, as well as metal savings that increased from 136 thousand tons to 1,110 thousand tons over the same period. Additionally it highlights the role of the USSR Academy of Sciences, leading scientific institutes, and machine-building enterprises in executing the targeted program to increase the restoration volumes of agricultural machinery parts and components.
