This paper examines the im-pact of green education policies in the higher education sector on the business cy-cle and compares them to standard incentives to encourage green production at the firm level. For our purpose, we set up a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model extended to account for the endogenous selection of green and traditional human capital and heterogeneous households that differ in their ability to access labor markets and with different availabilities of human capital. We find that both academic and firm subsidy measures enable the greening of human capital. How-ever, a green education stimulus is essential to increase the quality of green educa-tion and allow sustainable development in the long run. In contrast, firm-level green subsidies have a larger impact on short-term low-carbon productivity, as they main-ly affect hiring and investment decisions.","PeriodicalId":38202,"journal":{"name":"Rivista di Studi sulla Sostenibilita","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134997697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to develop different sectors of economy Kazakhstan government imple-mented two sequential industrial programs for 2010-2019 period. It was expected positive effect of the industrial programs and another initiatives of industrial poli-cy on survivorship of companies inside the country. However, concentration rates of companies and retailers within 20 industries that are highly dependent on indus-tries within programs, were increasing during the period of programs realization and liberalization of trade. In order to estimate which of instruments of the indus-trial policy are effective we employ logistic regression model where competitive-ness of companies is dependent on observed factors. The secondary dataset con-sists of 2271 observations at firm level obtained from Euromonitor International and official sources of Kazakhstan government. We find significant impact of Herfindahl-Hirschman index of companies and an interest rate of the National Bank of Kazakhstan on survivorship of firms rather than other instruments of in-dustrial policy in this case. The more attention the government pays to these in-struments the more companies survive.","PeriodicalId":38202,"journal":{"name":"Rivista di Studi sulla Sostenibilita","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134997193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The metaverse probably represents the boundary between the most avant-garde current innova-tions and, at the same time, what could be the possible development potentials of the near future. Through considerations on current knowledge and, above all, with the help of empirical evidence from the first business cases of metaverse applica-tions in the food sector, it is possible to understand how food companies can win in increasingly fierce international competition; it is necessary to invest more and more in economically, socially and environmentally sustainable strategic actions, above all in really new technological innovations. From the analysis of the first ex-isting case studies it is clear that the metaverse is certainly an innovation that opens up new sustainable economic possibilities, also for companies in the food sector. To date there are no other studies like this on this topic and, in particular, in the food system. However it is only a starting point for further future studies. Yet, it is already possible to identify the strategic potential of the metaverse.","PeriodicalId":38202,"journal":{"name":"Rivista di Studi sulla Sostenibilita","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134997194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, we explored the premises of doxometric management, plausibility structures in relation to static or dynamic doxastic managerial attitudes to build neighborhood structures to increase decision confidence. We believe that in the first quarter of the 21st century it is not so much historical events, the Inter-net or electronic commerce, or technology in general that determine societal influ-ences and changes, but rather knowledge management. There have been and are unprecedented changes in the human condition. It is possible, from a sociological perspective, to show the end of modernity considering that managers and people, in general, those in developed Western societies, in particular, have already come under a strong rationality. No one dares to conceptually touch the market econo-my. We come to the conclusion that a new type of management is needed. It is about doxastic organization and leadership, by measuring trust and opening the borders of neighborhood structures.","PeriodicalId":38202,"journal":{"name":"Rivista di Studi sulla Sostenibilita","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134997387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, to a large extent, such measures are embod-ied in various forms of restrictions on the realization of civil, political, and other rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of a person and a citizen, as well as to a certain extent there are encroachments on the inviolability of a person's private life. The purpose of the scientific article is to study the state mechanisms of Ka-zakhstan and the European Union on legal support and security of personal data on the Internet, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to determine possible ways for their development and improvement. The research used dialecti-cal, historical-legal, formal-logical, comparative-legal, and special-legal research methods, and systemic-structural research methods, as well as the method of sys-temic analysis.

Having determined the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study, the team of authors conducted a con-tent analysis of social media texts that formed the public image of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan (RK) Kasim-Jomart Kemelovich Tokayev. Within the framework of this work, the political image was studied as a set of me-dia texts in social media that provide public communication between a politician and the audience in order to create an image that has characteristics that are con-gruent with the desires and moods of the masses. At the same time, a hypothesis was put forward, according to which, whatever the image of a political leader, his personal qualities, character traits influence his important political decisions and the results of his activities. Thus, the correlation of psychological qualities and the media image of a political leader, the topic of the direct influence of personality traits and character of a political leader on his image in the media and mass con-sciousness will always remain one of the most relevant. The hypothesis put forward was tested by a complete analysis of the political situation: general monitoring and selective content analysis of the materials of public speeches of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan K. K. Tokayev, covering the domestic and foreign policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan from March 2019 to March 2021. Subsequently, with the help of the Polpred program, a fragmented situational analysis was performed: monitoring and content analysis of the image information of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan K.K. The choice of this time period was due to the fact that the month of January 2021 in Kazakhstan was politically saturated, i.e., elections were held to the lower house of the Parliament (Mazhilis and Maslikhats), there was a change in the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The method of content analysis of social media texts, which was used in the work, helped to identify the role of modern media in managing the image of a political leader in conditions of social tension, as well as the specifics of working with them in the context of solving this problem. Based on the results of the study of media texts, a model for managing the image of a political leader was developed, consisting of the following elements: factors affecting the image of a political leader; effective methods, technologies and tools for managing the image of a political leader; communication aspect in the use of selected methods, technologies and tools for optimizing public capital. In conclusion, conclusions are formulated about possible mechanisms for strengthening the image of the political lea","PeriodicalId":38202,"journal":{"name":"Rivista di Studi sulla Sostenibilita","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134997384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
