The year 2020 saw the world turned upside down by the coronavirus pandemic. Countless human activities were suspended or cancelled as the virus spread across the globe. In this paper, we show how the regular season matches of Ecuador's professional football league were rescheduled due to the disruption caused by the pandemic. As with many others, this league had to reschedule its remaining games to fit within in a much shorter period of time than originally planned. To address this problem, we developed two mathematical models that designed new match calendars. The first one, a round assignment model, rescheduled the various rounds in the season still to be played while the second one, a day assignment model, took the solutions of the first model as input to assign the matches within each round to specific days. The implementation of our models secured a well-balanced number of days off before each match across all of the teams. Also, it enabled the league to conclude a full season without cancelling any matches or changing the schedule format, unlike what occurred in many other leagues, and won the approval of all stakeholders including league officials, players, team coaches, the TV broadcaster and fans.
2020年,世界因冠状病毒大流行而天翻地覆。随着病毒在全球蔓延,无数人类活动被暂停或取消。在本文中,我们展示了厄瓜多尔职业足球联赛的常规赛是如何由于疫情造成的中断而重新安排的。与其他许多联盟一样,这个联盟不得不重新安排剩余的比赛,以适应比原计划短得多的时间。为了解决这个问题,我们开发了两个数学模型来设计新的比赛日程。第一个模型是回合分配模型,重新安排赛季中尚未进行的各轮比赛;第二个模型是一天分配模型,将第一个模型的解作为输入,将每轮比赛中的比赛分配到特定的日子。我们的模型的实施确保了所有球队在每场比赛前休息的天数平衡。此外,这使得联赛在不取消任何比赛或改变赛程形式的情况下结束了一个完整的赛季,这与许多其他联赛不同,并赢得了包括联赛官员、球员、球队教练、电视转播商和球迷在内的所有利益相关者的认可。

This paper focuses on sports-related public spending in the Member States of the European Union (EU). Based on the public procurement database of the EU (TED), a sport-related public procurement database was built and analysed. Using data from 33 countries for the period 2017–2019, the paper describes the characteristics of sport-related public procurements. The research highlights that the public database is an adequate way of making the data on public procurements available, where traditionally the latency was high. The characteristics found for the eight most active Member States include a high proportion of construction works. There is a connection between countries and the dominant type of purchasing organisations, although the involvement of central purchasing bodies is not a game-changer in this area. Higher value contracts usually lasted for longer and the length of contracts has a strong connection to the contract types. Non-negotiated types of procedures show a far higher average contract value than negotiated procedure types. When the lowest price criterion was applied, the total procurement value was significantly lower.
本文的重点是在欧盟成员国体育相关的公共支出。在欧盟(TED)公共采购数据库的基础上,构建了一个与体育相关的公共采购数据库并进行了分析。本文利用来自33个国家2017-2019年的数据,描述了与体育相关的公共采购的特点。该研究强调,公共数据库是提供公共采购数据的适当方式,而传统上这些数据的延迟很高。八个最活跃的会员国的特点包括建筑工程的比例很高。国家与主要类型的采购组织之间存在联系,尽管中央采购机构的参与并不能改变这一领域的游戏规则。价值较高的合同通常持续时间较长,合同的长度与合同类型有很强的联系。非协商程序类型的平均合同价值远高于协商程序类型。当采用最低价格标准时,总采购价值显著降低。

The esport industry is emerging and constantly changing. The pandemic has had a significant impact on esport and its markets and has affected the whole ecosystem. The focus of this paper, besides esport, is simracing: due to the limitations on physical events, motorsports have had to convert their races to the digital world. The aims of the article are: (1) to identify the changes in the esport and simracing world and markets caused by the pandemic, (2) to examine the difficulties and challenges that the industry is facing, and (3) to explore the opportunities for the further development of the business. Our research methodology involved in-depth interviews with industry professionals from different backgrounds. The results show that esport and simracing need to become more economically sustainable, and changes are required in all related markets. This article identifies such opportunities. Despite the difficulties, esport will continue to be a major player in the digital world and in the world of sports.

Emerging Market Multinationals and Europe: Challenges and Strategies 新兴市场跨国公司与欧洲:挑战与策略
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-05-11 DOI: 10.1556/204.2022.00009
Hanane Zerwal
Emerging Market Multinationals and Europe: Challenges and Strategies, edited by Breinbauer et al., is the fruit of a five year long research project carried out by a group of scholars with expertise rooted in different disciplines (economics, economic geography, sociology, management, and political science). The volume’s main objective is to unveil the future impact of emerging multinational companies’ investments on European countries, using a multidimensional approach. Throughout the book, the focus of the authors was captured mainly by China’s multinational companies in Europe. However, a few parts of the book have selected Brazilian, Turkish, and Russian companies as case studies. The six parts of the volume include approximately three chapters each. Each of the chapters adopts different methods, case studies, and structures, all while contributing to the book’s objective. The book offers three main findings as follows. First, the key element to strengthening the European economy and business is a prudent location policy. Second, a smart public location policy can lead to the creation of a sustainable and mutually beneficial business location for foreign investors and host markets. Finally, emerging multinationals’ investments must not only contribute to the creation of long-term jobs and improvement of the host country’s overall well-being, but they should also generate benefits for the society regionally, nationally, and on the European level. Furthermore, they must be in line with the objectives of the regional economic policy of the host country. The book fills a gap in the literature to provide much needed answers to ease the rising concerns in several developed countries regarding the impacts of emerging multinational companies’ investments on the advanced economies. In addition, it offers a guide for European decision-makers and institutions to formulate policies and strategies that would help attract long-term and stable investments to improve the general well-being of their nations without negative impacts. The first part offers an empirical and theoretical overview, the second part addresses the internal governance and decision making of an emerging multinational, and the third part focuses on the impact emerging multinationals have on sustainability and the different strategies these entities use to measure their commitment to their host countries’ sustainability goals.
由Breinbauer等人编辑的《新兴市场跨国公司与欧洲:挑战与战略》是一组来自不同学科(经济学、经济地理学、社会学、管理学和政治学)的专家学者进行的为期五年的研究项目的成果。该卷的主要目的是揭示新兴跨国公司的投资对欧洲国家的未来影响,使用多维方法。在整本书中,作者的关注点主要集中在中国在欧洲的跨国公司。然而,本书的一些部分选择了巴西、土耳其和俄罗斯的公司作为案例研究。全书共分六部分,每部分约有三章。每一章都采用不同的方法、案例研究和结构,同时都有助于本书的目标。这本书提供了以下三个主要发现。首先,加强欧洲经济和商业的关键因素是审慎的选址政策。其次,明智的公共场所政策可以为外国投资者和东道国市场创造一个可持续和互利的商业场所。最后,新兴跨国公司的投资不仅必须有助于创造长期的就业机会和改善东道国的整体福祉,而且还应该为区域、国家和欧洲层面的社会带来利益。此外,它们必须符合东道国区域经济政策的目标。这本书填补了文献的空白,提供了急需的答案,以缓解一些发达国家对新兴跨国公司投资对发达经济体的影响日益增长的担忧。此外,它还为欧洲决策者和机构制定政策和战略提供了指南,这些政策和战略将有助于吸引长期稳定的投资,以改善其国家的总体福祉,而不会产生负面影响。第一部分提供了实证和理论概述,第二部分解决了新兴跨国公司的内部治理和决策,第三部分侧重于新兴跨国公司对可持续性的影响以及这些实体用于衡量其对东道国可持续发展目标的承诺的不同策略。

The self-fulfilling prophecy is a ubiquitous concept with a large amount of research to date, characterised by disciplinary diversity and thus a potential plurality in its narrative. A meta-narrative review was implemented to analyse the narratives of self-fulfilling prophecy in the different research areas. It identified 10 research areas, 22 themes and 7 subthemes where the phenomenon was adopted to describe and explain phenomena/events/outcomes. It revealed the self-fulfilling prophecy’s meta-narrative in the separate areas and in overall, compared to the original notion, and with regard to the critics. And it set up methodological and research area-related boundaries to implementation. Finally, the paper provided suggestions to future researches on internal validity and on the configuration of trending topics as the self-fulfilling prophecy.
自我实现预言是一个无处不在的概念,迄今为止有大量的研究,其特点是学科多样性,因此在其叙述中具有潜在的多元性。采用元叙事方法对不同研究领域的自我实现预言叙事进行分析。它确定了10个研究领域,22个主题和7个副主题,其中现象被用来描述和解释现象/事件/结果。它揭示了自我实现预言的元叙事在不同的领域和总体上,与最初的概念相比,以及与批评者相比。它建立了方法和研究领域相关的实施边界。最后,本文对未来研究的内部效度和趋势话题配置作为自我实现预言提出了建议。

Are we there yet? An analysis of visitor attitudes towards sustainability awareness raising initiatives 我们到了吗?游客对可持续发展意识提升计划的态度分析

Sustainable practices aiming to reduce environmental impacts have become key guiding principles of events, but initiatives focusing on the economic impacts and on supporting the local economy and society are also gaining more emphasis in event planning and management. Music festivals attracting larger audiences are becoming especially aware of the importance of sustainability as well as of their role in the process of raising participants’ awareness of it. The paper aims to assess the initiatives of the Street Music Festival in Veszprém, Hungary, one of the flagship events of the city, from both the participants’ and the organisers’ perspective. For the investigation of participant attitudes, a questionnaire survey was conducted, while the organisers’ views on sustainability were sought through interviews. The findings show that although respondents rate the importance of sustainability as very high, their contribution to responsible consumption is far from what could be considered sustainable, therefore better communication of the initiatives or stricter rules need to be introduced. The interviewees revealed that organisers consider economic sustainability just as important as the environmental issues, and gave an insight into the rationale behind sustainability enhancing initiatives, some of which have a marketing function as well as protecting the environment.
旨在减少环境影响的可持续实践已成为活动的关键指导原则,但在活动规划和管理中,注重经济影响和支持当地经济和社会的举措也越来越受到重视。吸引更多观众的音乐节越来越意识到可持续性的重要性,以及他们在提高参与者对可持续性的认识过程中的作用。本文旨在从参与者和组织者的角度,评估匈牙利veszprachim街头音乐节的倡议,这是该市的旗舰活动之一。为了调查参与者的态度,我们进行了问卷调查,并通过访谈寻求组织者对可持续发展的看法。调查结果表明,尽管受访者对可持续性的重要性评价很高,但他们对负责任消费的贡献远远不能被认为是可持续的,因此需要更好地沟通倡议或引入更严格的规则。受访者表示,主办单位认为经济上的可持续发展与环境问题一样重要,并深入了解可持续发展倡议背后的基本原理,其中一些倡议既具有营销功能,也具有保护环境的功能。

Caring control or controlling care? Double bind facilitated by biometrics between UNHCR and Syrian refugees in Jordan 护理控制还是控制护理?联合国难民事务高级专员办事处和约旦的叙利亚难民之间的生物识别技术促进了双重约束
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-02-18 DOI: 10.1556/204.2021.00027
Beata Paragi, A. Altamimi
Biometric technologies are increasingly used by governments and international organizations in the context of refugee protection and control. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the ‘double bind’ embedded in the collection and processing of biometric data by exploring the experiences of Syrian refugees residing in Jordan. While taking biometric data is part of the UNHCR-registration, it is also used for other purposes, such as providing assistance and tracking movement. The findings are based on desk research and empirical data collected in Jordan. While stakeholders with vested interests argue for the benefits of technology, critical research is more concerned with human rights, unintended consequences of humanitarian governance or surveillance humanitarianism. Refugees, upon registration, seem to be more concerned with smooth and uninterrupted access to aid. While due to their vulnerable position they cannot really afford considering the consequences of giving their biometric data when they are asked to do so, sharing their biometric data entails a double bind situation. On the one hand, international organizations (such as the UNHCR and the WFP) in cooperation with commercial actors use iris scans as a payment method promising better food security for Syrian refugees in Jordan. On the other hand, the very same biometric data can be used for controlling, if not blocking, their free movement. The double bind logic implies that refugees registered with their biometrics can enjoy care only if they tolerate sophisticated control too.
生物识别技术越来越多地被政府和国际组织用于难民保护和控制。本文的目的是通过探索居住在约旦的叙利亚难民的经历来强调嵌入在生物特征数据收集和处理中的“双重约束”。虽然获取生物特征数据是难民专员办事处登记的一部分,但它也用于其他目的,例如提供援助和跟踪行动。这些发现是基于桌面研究和在约旦收集的实证数据。虽然既得利益相关者主张技术的好处,但批判性研究更关注人权、人道主义治理的意外后果或监督人道主义。登记后的难民似乎更关心能否顺利和不间断地获得援助。虽然由于他们的弱势地位,当他们被要求提供生物特征数据时,他们无法真正考虑提供生物特征数据的后果,但分享他们的生物特征数据需要双重约束。一方面,国际组织(如联合国难民署和世界粮食计划署)与商业机构合作,使用虹膜扫描作为一种支付方式,有望为在约旦的叙利亚难民提供更好的粮食安全。另一方面,同样的生物特征数据可以用来控制他们的自由活动,如果不是阻止的话。双重约束逻辑意味着,用生物识别技术登记的难民只有在忍受复杂的控制的情况下才能享受到照顾。

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the ‘double bind’ embedded in the collection and processing of biometric data by exploring the experiences of Syrian refugees residing in Jordan. While taking biometric data is part of the UNHCR-registration, it is also used for other purposes, such as providing assistance and tracking movement. The findings are based on desk research and empirical data collected in Jordan. While stakeholders with vested interests argue for the benefits of technology, critical research is more concerned with human rights, unintended consequences of humanitarian governance or surveillance humanitarianism. Refugees, upon registration, seem to be more concerned with smooth and uninterrupted access to aid. While due to their vulnerable position they cannot really afford considering the consequences of giving their biometric data when they are asked to do so, sharing their biometric data entails a double bind situation. On the one hand, international organizations (such as the UNHCR and the WFP) in cooperation with commercial actors use iris scans as a payment method promising better food security for Syrian refugees in Jordan. On the other hand, the very same biometric data can be used for controlling, if not blocking, their free movement. The double bind logic implies that refugees registered with their biometrics can enjoy care only if they tolerate sophisticated control too.","PeriodicalId":40049,"journal":{"name":"Society and Economy","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73626031","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 spread of digital culture is one of the biggest reprogramming of humanity, radically transforming our economic, social, and cultural models. One of the keys to success of this transformation, and to preventing the spread of digital divides, is the development of a variety of literacies. These literacies describe the success of society and business to thrive in the digital space. In this article, we introduce a new concept of action literacy (online trust literacy) and examine its functioning from both a social and a business perspective through two primary research studies. After defining the phenomenon, we examine it from two sides: the first part examines the dimensional structure of trust from the perspective of society (through a large, representative sample-based survey), while the second part analyses the building and operational mechanisms of trust from a business perspective (through a small sample of exploratory data collection). The main implications of this study are to demonstrate the Janus-faced nature of this new kind of literacy and the ambiguity of digital culture to better understand the toolset of information recipients and providers. The result of our research is the introduction of a new concept of action literacy and its operationalisation, resulting in an interpretation matrix.
数字文化的传播是人类最大的重新编程之一,从根本上改变了我们的经济、社会和文化模式。实现这一转变并防止数字鸿沟扩大的关键之一是发展各种文化。这些素养描述了社会和企业在数字空间中蓬勃发展的成功。在本文中,我们引入了行动素养(在线信任素养)的新概念,并通过两项初步研究从社会和商业角度考察了其功能。在定义了这一现象之后,我们从两个方面对其进行了考察:第一部分从社会的角度(通过大规模的、具有代表性的抽样调查)考察了信任的维度结构,第二部分从企业的角度(通过小样本的探索性数据收集)分析了信任的构建和运行机制。本研究的主要意义在于展示这种新型素养的双面性和数字文化的模糊性,以便更好地理解信息接受者和提供者的工具集。我们的研究结果是引入了行动素养的新概念及其操作化,从而产生了一个解释矩阵。
