Особенности взаимодействия государств и корпораций в мировой экономике

В статье рассматривается новая роль транснациональных корпораций в контексте структуры новой распределенной субъектности в управлении политическими, экономическими и социальными процессами. Реализован статистический анализ, подтверждающий тенденцию новой регионализации, наблюдаемую как по динамике макропоказателей, так и по присутствию глобальных и национальных корпораций в рейтингах. Показаны основные факторы роста выручки и биржевых котировок транснациональных корпораций, на основе чего обоснована слабая аргументация утверждений об их автономной субъектности, позволяющей полностью игнорировать национальное право и политические институты управления в государствах. The article examines the new role of multinational corporations in the context of a newly distributed subjectivity in the management of political, economic and social processes. A statistical analysis confirms the trend towards new regionalization seen both in the dynamics of macroindicators and in the presence of global and national corporations in the rankings. The authors explore the key factors driving sales and capitalization of the biggest multinational corporations used as weak arguments to assert that they are autonomous actors able to completely ignore national law and political governance institutions in national states

SOWL QL: Querying Spatio - Temporal Ontologies in OWL

We introduce SOWL QL, a query language for spatio-temporal information in ontologies. Buildingupon SOWL (Spatio-Temporal OWL), an ontology for handling spatio-temporal information in OWL, SOWL QL supports querying over qualitative spatio-temporal information (expressed using natural language expressions such as “before”, “after”, “north of”, “south of”) rather than merely quantitative information (exact dates, times, locations). SOWL QL extends SPARQL with a powerful set of temporal and spatial operators, including temporal Allen topological, spatial directional and topological operations or combinations of the above. SOWL QL maintains simplicity of expression and also, upward and downward compatibility with SPARQL. Query translation in SOWL QL yields SPARQL queries implying that, querying spatio-temporal ontologies using SPARQL is still feasible but suffers from several drawbacks the most important of them being that, queries in SPARQL become particularly complicated and users must be familiar with the underlying spatio-temporal representation (the “N-ary relations” or the “4D-fluents” approach in this work). Finally, querying in SOWL QL is supported by the SOWL reasoner which is not part of the standard SPARQL translation. The run-time performance of SOWL QL has been assessed experimentally in a real data setting. A critical analysis of its performance is also presented

The Papyrus Digital Library: Discovering History in the News

Abstract. Digital archives comprise a valuable asset for effective information retrieval. In many cases, however, the special vocabulary of the archive restricts its access only to experts in the domain of the material it contains and, as a result, researchers of other disciplines or the general public cannot take full advantage of the wealth of information it offers. To this end, the Papyrus research project has worked towards a solution which makes cross-discipline search possible in digital libraries. The developed prototype showcases this approach demonstrating how we can discover history in news archives. In this demo we focus on demonstrating two of the end user tools available in the prototype, the cross-discipline search and the Papyrus browser

Определение структуры мировой наукоемкой промышленности с помощью межрегиональных таблиц запрос-выпуск Eora, WIOD и OECD-ICIO

The future of the world economy is usually associated with the development of an innovative sector, where human capital is the main production factor. Despite the general trend of growth in the service sector, a strong manufacturing industry remains a prerequisite for the innovative development of the economy, especially the most innovative part of manufacturing including the production of electronics, robots, machinery and equipment, and vehicles. The degradation of industrial capacity deprives a national economy of growth opportunities, increases its dependence on foreign manufacturers of high-tech products and components, and hinders innovations, since the scope of their application is narrowing. In this paper we’ve processed statistics to view the regional structure of the world’s advanced manufacturing in dynamics. Such an analysis could be useful to track structural shifts that occur in the geographical location of innovative production over time, to identify countries and regions in which the advanced manufacturing industry is developing at a faster pace

TrueWeb: A Proposal for Scalable Semantically-Guided Data Management and Truth Finding in Heterogeneous Web Sources

We envision a responsible web environment, termed TrueWeb, where a user should be able to find out whether any sentence he or she encounters in the web is true or false. The user should be able to track the provenance of any sentence or paragraph in the web. The target of TrueWeb is to compose factual knowledge from Internet resources about any subject of interest and present the collected knowledge in chronological order and distribute facts spatially and temporally as well as assign some belief factor for each fact. Another important target of TrueWeb is to be able to identify whether a statement in the Internet is true or false. The aim is to create an Internet infrastructure that, for each piece of published information, will be able to identify the truthfulness (or the degree of truthfulness) of that piece of information. © 2018 ACM

Hierarchy of value chains: statistical analysis based on WIOD and Eora data

В статье представлен анализ долгосрочных тенденций и закономерностей, характерных для процессов в международных производственных сетях в рамках глобальных цепочек создания стоимости. Он направлен на определение перспектив белорусской экономики в глобальной и региональной системе разделения труда и выработку стратегических рекомендаций. Методология исследования основана на статистическом анализе «вход - выход» и других методах количественного анализа данных с использованием языка R. Информационная база исследования сформирована аналитическими отчетами международных организаций и консалтинговых компаний, а также данными межрегиональных таблиц WIOD и Eora. The article presents analysis of long term trends and patterns typical of processes in international production networks within the framework of global value chains. It aims at identifying perspectives for Belarusian economy in global and regional labor division system and creating strategic recommendations. Research methodology is based on statistical «input – output» analysis and other methods of quantitative data analysis using the R language. The research information base is formed by analytical reports of international organizations and consulting companies, as well as data from interregional tables WIOD and Eora

Construction sector economic indicators’ analysis using Eora multi-regional input-output tables

Представлен сравнительный анализ развития строительного сектора в мировом масштабе за 1990–2015 гг. на основе данных межрегиональных таблиц «затраты – выпуск» Eora­26. Рассчитаны абсолютные показатели инвестиций в строительство, валового выпуска и валовой добавленной стоимости в этой сфере, на их основе рассчитаны некоторые относительные показатели. Составлены рейтинги экономик мира по показателям развития строительного сектора. The work analysed data of the Eora multi-regional input-output tables for a comparative analysis of the construction sector on a global scale for the period from 1990 to 2015. The absolute indicators of investment in construction, gross output and gross value added in construction are calculated; other relative indicators were calculated on their basis. The ratings of the world’s economies according to the indicators of the development of the construction sector were compiled
