Internationalization and interaction in the time of covid 19.

Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic has made interdependence globally relevant. Communication channels provide us with technological advances; they can make our lives easier, but they can also bring us viruses. In this session, we aim to explore the impact of Covid-19 on relationships between states and other global actors. To what extent will the pandemic affect international relations? What role will emerging actors such as large corporations, pressure groups or multilateral organizations take on? What impact will the possible reconfiguration of global relations have on Europe, but also on the world? This article aims to analyze the consequences of Covid-19 in our societies

Introduction to diplomatic Sciences (handbook and glossary).

Abstract This is a work between a very short introduction and handbook to understand what diplomacy is and to study it. The author introduces diplomacy to start form historical perspective and to provide significant examples to illustrate the art of diplomacy in action. Diplomacy has evolved greatly, coming to mean diverse things, to different persons, at several time, reaching from the sophisticated to inelegant and ordinary. this paper presents the first attempts to measure student learning quantitatively by administering a pre-test, post-test survey supplemented by a glossary of diplomatic terms

Coronavirus COVID - 19, a complex issue between health, economy, politics, and communication

Abstract The author wants to talk about a new reality surrounds us, a new atmosphere, a new condition of life in the post-globalization era at the pandemic time of the coronavirus COVID-19. The pandemic, it is said, started from communist China with a centralized and at the same time globalized economy, but today the centre of all the global problems. This it is intended to be a first analysis where economics, politics and communication intertwine and interact with the health problem which has highlighted the weaknesses of a society which has been too busy for a long time to regulate GDP

A reziliencia elmélete - multidiszciplináris közelítések a reziliencia fogalma mentén

The concept of resilience has changed a lot over time. The physical term is now used in a wide range of disciplines, from security policy to medical clinical practice. The interpretation of the term tends to expand across disciplines, but the underlying processes are becoming less and less clear. An important distinction is that the original passive meaning of resilience is now assumed to be „active” in the human interpretation. One consequence of this is that part of the literature marginalises the notion of resilience as a passive, innate quality that is present independently of our will. Along the common intersections of these different definitions, the concept of resilience is clearly outlined, which helps to understand why the concept is expanding to include more and more disciplinary aspects and why it raises more and more questions from a social science perspective. In the present paper, I have attempted to draw attention to conceptual divergences and to emphasize my assumption that the conceptual set of physics and material science is prominent in psychology and psychiatry’s understanding of resilience, which narrows the possibility of a true understanding of processes and sets up foundations and frameworks that are not tenable in the light of current research

Using local knowledge to inform commercial fisheries science and management in Poland and Alaska

Thesis (Ph.D.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2018Science and decision making in commercial fisheries management take place in the context of uncertainty. This research demonstrates ways that local knowledge held by fishermen can be used to mitigate that uncertainty. This dissertation documents local knowledge of fishermen in Poland and Alaska, and contributes to the development of methods for utilizing that local knowledge in commercial fisheries management. Specific case study examples were developed through exploratory interviews with fishermen in the two study regions. Interviews were conducted with Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) fishermen in Poland and Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) fishermen in Alaska. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to analyze local knowledge about ecosystems, as well as preferences held by fishermen about regulations. Cultural consensus analysis was used to quantify agreement among fishermen in Poland about the abundance and condition of cod, and generalized additive modeling was used to show how fishermen and scientists attributed different causes to similar observed phenomena. Multiple factor analysis and logistic regression were used to demonstrate how fishing characteristics influence encounters with incidental catch in the commercial fishery for halibut in Southeast Alaska. Finally, an analytic hierarchy process model was used to shed light on preferences halibut fishermen have about data collection methods on their vessels. All findings show how the inclusion of fishermen's local knowledge in fisheries management need not be limited to informal conversations or public testimony at meetings in order to be meaningfully interpretable by managers

The competence leadership from philosophical and political direction and the challenges in education

The difference between the work of philosophical and political cadres in terms of the multiplicity of aspects that we want to consider in this article makes it essential to analyse an interdisciplinary vision to lead to the analysis of a system of professional and personalised resources within the education system and which give content to their professionalism. These skills contribute to successful performance in favour of social development and continuous "Education-Labour Market" contact. The quality of orientation, teaching and supervision will also be analysed; it is a reality that can be used in the educational system, which brings out motivations, feelings, convictions and loyalties which distinguish cadres in today's society in an increasingly globalised system and which they ensure optimism and unity of thought and action which can be an example to strengthen leadership

Can Vehicle Efficiency Beat Fuel Efficiency in Cutting Fuel Use?

This paper demonstrates the importance of considering both energy and non-energy efficiency improvements in the provision of energy intensive household services. Using the example of private transport, we analyse whether vehicle efficiency can beat fuel efficiency in cutting fuel use. We find that this ultimately depend on the elasticity of demand for transport, the substitutability between vehicles and fuels and the initial share of fuel use in private transport. The framework also allows to identify 'multiple benefits' of technical progress in private transport by considering both the ability of such policy to reduce fuel demand and to increase the consumer's surplus. We extend the partial equilibrium framework by using computable general equilibrium (CGE) simulations to identify the system-wide impacts on total fuel use of the two alternative efficiency changes. Simulation results suggest that the substitution effects identified in the partial equilibrium analysis are an important element in determining the change in total fuel use resulting from these consumption efficiency changes. However, the identification of associated changes in intermediate fuel demand, plus the potential expansionary effects of the improvements in household efficiency transmitted through the labour market can generate general equilibrium effects that vary substantially from those derived using partial equilibrium analysis

The macroeconomic impacts of the new protocol on Northern Ireland and how they can be mitigated

Geoffroy Duparc-Portier and Gioele Figus use a multi-sector economic model to capture the impact that potential non-tariff barriers and tariffs will have on trade in NI. Simulation results demonstrate that a weaker relation between Britain and the EU will have a greater negative impact on Northern Ireland’s economy. However, this may be reduced by the ability of Northern Irish firms to substitute intermediate inputs from Britain for EU imports

Can a reduction in fuel use result from an endogenous technical progress in motor vehicles? A partial and general equilibrium analysis

In this paper we employ a partial equilibrium approach to model private transport consumption as a household self-produced commodity formed by vehicle and fuel use. We show that under certain conditions vehicle-augmenting technical improvements can reduce fuel use. We then extend the analysis through Computable General Equilibrium simulations for the UK in order to investigate the wider implications of vehicle-augmenting efficiency improvements when prices and nominal income are endogenous. With a conventional macroeconomic approach, improvements in the efficiency of household consumption simply change the composition of household demand. However, when we adjust the consumer price index for changes in the price of private transport service (not observable via a market price), as advocated in Gordon (2016) there is an additional supply-side stimulus to competitiveness
