In this paper, I examine the impact of economic policy uncertainty on industrial production in the United States before the Covid-19 pandemic. Using vector autoregression, I found that industrial production in the United States responds negatively to a positive economic policy uncertainty shock in the United States. This suggests that US economic policymakers need to prevent economic policy uncertainty in the United States","PeriodicalId":399735,"journal":{"name":"NORDSCI Conference Proceedings 2021 Book 2, Volume 4","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121391759","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}

Ever since Luca Pacioli’s famous 1494 textbook on accounting (the so-called Summa de arithmetica, geometry, proportioni et proportionalita), ethics has served as one of the foundations of accounting [1]. Business ethics and sustainability are related, in some ways characterizing corporate social responsibility. For example, Garriga and Melé claim that the theory of sustainable development belongs to the ethical theories of corporate social responsibility, concentrating on ethical values and responsibility [2]. The aim of this paper was to determine how Spielmann’s accounting books reflect ethics and sustainability. In order to assess sustainability, Talcott Parsons’s paradigm about the continuity of social systems was applied. According to Parsons [3], a harmony or balance must exist between the main functions of social systems: adaptation to the environment (A), goals attainment (G), social integration (I), and latent pattern maintenance or latency of values (L). In her doctoral thesis, Roostalu proved that Parsons’s AGIL paradigm describes a general system of sustainability and it is applicable when preparing four-dimensional sustainability models [4]. In this paper, a four-dimensional content model was also prepared, and qualitative content analysis was used. The results of the case study show that Spielmann’s accounting books are quite transparent and include several sustainability indicators. Moreover, it appears that the dimensions of the sustainability model are in harmony with each other, which indicates strong sustainability orientation in these accounting books dating from the Middle Ages.\"","PeriodicalId":399735,"journal":{"name":"NORDSCI Conference Proceedings 2021 Book 2, Volume 4","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115214597","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}

Meat and meat products are considered basic foods that are consumed by Slovak consumers. Of the food group, pork and poultry have the widest consumption. From the point of view of dietary properties, price relations, availability or speed of preparation, poultry meat and meat products appear to be the most consumed with a view to the future. In the context of the above, the aim of the paper is to point out the current market of poultry meat and meat products in Slovakia in terms of production and consumption, as well as to identify consumer behavior. Based on the results, it can be stated that the production of poultry meat has an increasing tendency and currently reaches 13 kg per capita. Poultry consumption in the Slovak Republic has been rising rapidly in recent years and exceeds the recommended dose by almost 100%. These are also confirmed by the results of the survey, which shows an annual consumption of more than 30 kg. In terms of factors, the quality, price and freshness of purchased and consumed meat are the most important for consumers. In view of future developments, it is necessary to appeal to the quality of the meat consumed, as well as to aspects relating to health recommendations, the environment, sustainability, or animal welfare","PeriodicalId":399735,"journal":{"name":"NORDSCI Conference Proceedings 2021 Book 2, Volume 4","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114595464","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}

For the state, the promotion of innovation is a priority in the economic policy sector, since it is the level of scientific and technological development that largely determines the long-term strategic advantages of the country, and the prospects for the development of the state largely dependent on the level of innovation development. For a long time, the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has been implementing the Strategy for Innovative Development of the Russian Federation. It includes 20 key steps and is developed based on the provisions of the concept of long-term development of the Russian Federation. The main results should have been, firstly, an increase in spending on science and innovation, and secondly, an increase in the share of industrial enterprises that introduce innovations in production. It was assumed that their share will increase by 4-5 times by 2020, compared with 2010 year. Not everything has been achieved, and there is a lot to strive for. This study is devoted to the driver of scientific and technological progress - the chemical complex of Russia. The chemical complex plays a significant role in the implementation of the most important socio-economic programs of the country. The study is devoted to the consideration of the most important prospects and key alternatives for the development of the chemical industry related to different areas of innovation.

Political education as an integral part of the educational process in schools, not only at the national level, we therefore naturally consider it one of the tools for promoting democratic tools in society. We also consider foreign language teaching to be one of the tools of political education. Within it, on the example of learning about important political events, which at the same time shaped the moral democratic values of the bearers of a given language, we can mediate a critical analysis of the way of life in a given developmental stage of society. The aim of our paper is to present the idea of the educational process as a driving force for the spread of democratic values on the example of foreign language teaching at our faculty. From the point of view of theoretical backgrounds, we define the very concept of political education on the example of several experts in the field of sociology, politics and education. In order to find out the current state of the concept of political education in the educational process at national and transnational level, we analyze the individual documents of the European Union.

When dealing with crises, particularly those linked to prolonged wars with no foreseeable solutions in the near future, resilience has become a means and a goal. Yet, it may represent a dilemma for the EU and Jordan. Scholars like Giulia Sinatti and Rosanne Anholt argue that the EU, with its focus on resilience of the origin and transit countries of migrants and refugees, could jeopardize the stability of refugee-hosting states. These already burdened states with its own problems cannot handle more refugees. In addition, the refugees are facing many difficulties to find jobs and they are struggling to find their way to Europe. As a result, resilience may seem threatening rather than safeguarding the security of Europe. Thus, the paper’s main question is How are the donors and the hosts trying to resolve the dilemma of resilience, as a security strategy, in response for the Syrian crisis in the case of the EU and Jordan? Based on document analysis for the EU and Jordan׳s documents including their official bilateral and multilateral agreements, reports from their official websites and textual analysis of the current literature on building resilience, this paper argues that resilience may appear as a dilemma, however, the EU and Jordan are trying to resolve it by adopting resilience as a pragmatic approach, focusing on its bright side, and tackling the challenges, which appear as a result of adopting it. The EU׳s resilience building in Jordan aims to enhance the capacities of the refugees and the local communities and keep a balance between them. What's more, it aims to support those refugees’ self-reliance and Jordan׳s social cohesion. Thus, to keep the refugees in place and prevent them from flooding into Europe.","PeriodicalId":399735,"journal":{"name":"NORDSCI Conference Proceedings 2021 Book 2, Volume 4","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131209114","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 strong development of the economy over the past few decades has provided a global stage for those countries that have a stable political establishment while managing enormous amounts of oil. Now, year after year, it is becoming increasingly clear that the importance of oil and gas is falling away, and it is those energy sources that bring about a reduction in the half-life that comes into the scene. Oil and gas are non-renewable energy sources and as such are naturally limited, therefore their reserve will become economically unprofitable in the future, and exploitation will reach its natural end. The aim of this research paper is divided into two structures: the first thesis concerns giving a fresh insight into the state of the oil market from the beginning of the pandemic to the present day. The issue of geopolitical relations between Riyadh and Moscow is to be addressed here and how much of a negative consequence the price war has left on their fiscal calculations, although geopolitical friction has deepened the shock further into financial markets. Thus, the fiscal calculation of both countries suffered revenue shocks, but it also prompted an even deeper decline in stock indexes and temporary stagflation of the global economy. The second thesis refers to a brief review of the analysis of the long-term future of non-renewable and renewable energy sources. The future of cleaner forms of energy is imperative, but also a challenging task, as this means shifting the entire structure of national economies to green and renewable. The focus is on giving insight into why this is a necessity, but also why there could be a dangerous precedent and negative cash flows in some structures of the economy. Currently, and any future planning and fulfillment of climate guidelines, must not lead to an increase in energy poverty and consequently a decrease in living standards, because in all geopolitical games the line is always drawn between rich and poor countries, that is, advanced economies and developing economies. Therefore, the long-term and global leaders in green and renewable energy sources will be those countries that successfully implement public interests in these projects, because only in this way can the goal be met – shifting a certain structure of the economy to cleaner sources while satisfying social utility and increasing employment.","PeriodicalId":399735,"journal":{"name":"NORDSCI Conference Proceedings 2021 Book 2, Volume 4","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125531419","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 global world is facing now а social and economic crisis, never experienced before, the COVID-19 pandemic became a very significant trigger changing the way the world production was conducted in the previous era. In these conditions, large and small businesses are trying to cooperate with each other within the Global Value chains framework, to survive. As the main drivers of global production and financial systems, large corporations had to improve, but it is still difficult to say how long it will take. On the other side, after the pandemic recession, it is becoming more and more obvious that SME sector has increased its impact not only within the national economies, but also in a global scale. A huge amount of financial and institutional support is being provided to the SME sector by the governments, which eventually will lead to an improvement in the International Capital Reproduction System. However, there is still a gap in existing connections within the global value chains, which makes a big challenge for this integration process to be achieved. Although many aspects of globalization are now clearly understood, still there is scarce information on the transforming relations between large companies and their partners - smaller firms and the ways the formers integrate into the Global Value Chains. This study aims to define the evolution of the role of SMEs in the global value chains, identify and assess the factors that contribute to the integration of SMEs into global value chains and explore the impact of GVC onto their institutional framework.","PeriodicalId":399735,"journal":{"name":"NORDSCI Conference Proceedings 2021 Book 2, Volume 4","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115190065","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}
