nternational tobacco smuggling remains an important concern for governments, tobacco manufactur-ers and health experts alike. While often linked to other forms of illegal activities, it also directly impacts govern-ment tax and health policies. Knowledge of factors that contribute to illicit tobacco trade and the existence of smug-gling routes is strongly hampered by the lack of reliable data on bilateral flows of illicit tobacco. Therefore, recon-structing the trafficking routes and estimating the size of cross-border illicit flows are crucial steps for gaining bet-ter understanding of these crimes and enforcing actions aimed at countering them. This study is the first to use grav-ity estimation techniques to decompose aggregate illicit cig-arette inflows for which data are available into their bilat-eral components. Our approach is a simple and effective method that can serve as a complement to other methods of pinpointing international trafficking flows such as empty discarded pack data or network analysis to help in the fight against illicit tobacco flows. Policymakers, customs officials as well as law enforcement can employ the presented meth-ods as an additional tool in the fight against illicit trade. Keywords: bilateral illicit cigarette trade, gravity model, predictive estimation

Trženjsko-komunikacijska orodja v interak-tivnem okolju niso več pod polnim nadzorom tržni-kov, zato je pomembno poznati njihov vpliv na proces ustvarjanja premoženja blagovne znamke. V članku pod drobnogled vzamemo vpliv spletnega trženja od ust do ust in televizijskega oglaševanja na posamezne dimenzije premoženja blagovne znamke v očeh porab-nikov in ga preverjamo na vzorcu slovenskih porab-nikov. Raziskava potrjuje pomembno vlogo obeh vrst orodij, a tudi opozarja na previdnost pri naslavljanju posameznih dimenzij premoženja blagovne znamke. Rezultati pritrjujejo nadgradnji tradicionalnih trženj-sko-komunikacijskih orodij z interaktivnimi orodji, ki običajno vključujejo porabnike in jih spodbujajo k soustvarjanju blagovne znamke, vendar ne na račun zanemarjanja tradicionalnega oglaševanja. Ključni pojmi: trženjsko komuniciranje, spletno trženje od ust do ust, televizijsko oglaševanje, premoženje bla-govne znamke v očeh porabnikov

Članek znotraj postpozitivistične metateo-retske pozicije trdi, da je študij poglavitnih zahodnih reprezentacij Kitajske v literaturi konsistentno zane-marjen in površno obravnavan. Pomen teh reprezen-tacij za dejansko oblikovanje politik zahoda do Kitajske je prav tako v veliki meri prezrt. Članek želi znova ovrednotiti zahodne reprezentacije Kitajske kot grožnje in Kitajske kot priložnosti, na katere gleda kot neločljive od znanstvenega diskurza med zahodom in Kitajsko, ki z nami ostanejo tudi v daljšem časovnem obdobju: pri tem se osredotoči na zahodne zgodovinske reprezenta-cije Kitajske v mednarodnih odnosih in prenos teh idej v moderni čas. Ključna ugotovitev članka je, da takšni pristopi gradijo na ideji drugačnosti Kitajske, kar nam pove, da zahod vidi Kitajsko v kontekstu zahodne indu-strializacije, zahodne univerzalnosti in skozi posplo-šene zahodne izkušnje, prenešene na lokalni kontekst kitajske države. Vse povedano uspešno zmanjšuje sicer večplastno kitajsko družbo in državo na niz poenosta-vljenih empiričnih primerov, ki služijo generalizaciji zahodnega pogleda na kitajsko rast.

V članku ugotavljamo, kako se prostorske vrednote prek aktivne vloge kraja, neformalnega druž-benega in političnega nadzora ter drugih značilnosti teritorialno-kulturnega okolja povezujejo s političnimi preferencami in prostorskim sistemom Slovenije. Članek se opira na geoprostorsko analizo volilnega vedenja na osmih zaporednih državnozborskih volitvah v obdob-ju 1996–2022, v kateri so volilni izidi opazovani skozi delitev med urbanim in ruralnim, natančneje skozi tip naselja glede na stopnjo urbaniziranosti in indeks fra-gmentiranosti. Rezultati so po eni strani pokazali, da so volilna telesa slovenskih političnih strank razmeroma heterogena, kar prispeva k ideji postopnega razvoja vse bolj raznolikih življenjskih stilov, načinov bivanja in splošnega funkcionalnega mešanja urbanih in pode-želskih območij. Po drugi strani pa rezultati kažejo, da je delitev na bolj levo usmerjena urbana in bolj desno usmerjena podeželska območja zelo zakoreninjena, da ob določenih nihanjih vztraja in se skozi politične dis-kurze napaja z elementi lokalizma.Ključni pojmi: prostorske vrednote, kraj, družbeni in politični nadzor, urbanizacija, mesto, podeželje, politič-ni razcep, lokalizem

Ireland, Portugal and Slovenia – three states with different historical legacies and institutional frameworks – promoted labour market flexibility and active labour market policies before and during the 2008 crisis. These policies were postulated as basic poli-cies on the EU level. However, a significant change came with the COVID-19 crisis when governments in all three states implemented measures much more resembling neo-Keynesian policies. In the article, we show that the crucial mechanisms for the various labour market poli-cy choices made in these three countries were due to the two crises being of distinct types, the (non)coincidence of interests of a range of actors and classes, and the dif-ferent policy frameworks promoted by the EU.

On the basis of a systematic review of the literature, this article addresses the issue of employment of people with disabilities and analyzes current trends in disability employment to classify employment in social enterprises in the typology of employment models for people with disabilities. For the purpose of classification, the article also identifies individual models of disability which coincide with the characteristics of employment in social enterprises. The upgraded typology is the main contribution of the article; it could serve as an important classification tool for individual approaches to this issue, and thus help to develop appropriate policies for the employment of people with disabilities through a comparative analysis of individual countries.

Platform work is often characterised by economic insecurity, dehumanising control procedures, isolation, deepening racial, economic and gender inequalities, and other socio-economic problems. There are lively debates underway concerned with how to regulate or limit the negative effects of platform capitalism. This article reviews two of the most common calls for action – regulation and platform co-operatives. We argue that there is also an unexplored, complementary option, which uses the network effects of platforms to provide greater benefits for platform workers. To understand this alternative, we introduce the American Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) mechanism for employee buyouts, redefine the model according to the main cooperative values, and apply it to the platform economy. We conclude that there is a third option is available to governments and municipalities, namely to require an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in the local subsidiary of the platform company. Keywords: Platform economy, platform co-operativism, employee buyouts, platform ESOP

The study in this article addresses three research questions: a) how do college students view the effectiveness of technology-mediated virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic; b) how does virtual learning impact their perceived mental health; and c) what is the mode of learning they most prefer? It follows an explanatory research design and survey method. Data are collected using a questionnaire with a purposive sample of 102 students and interviews with 20 students and 40 faculty members in India. The conceptual framework of this study is quite similar to the modified version of the Technology Acceptance Model (Venkatesh and Davis, 2000). The study reveals that 86% of the students find virtual learning to be ineffective. Such learning not only fails to provide adequate opportunities for experiential learning for developing knowledge, skills, and leadership abilities but also creates several perceived mental health problems. This study may help higher education institutions while designing and implementing virtual teaching-learning systems in order to prevent their negative impact on student’s perceived mental health in future crises. Keywords: Virtual learning, perceived mental health, COVID-19 pandemic, Behavioural Intention, Perceived Usefulness
{"title":"IMPACT OF VIRTUAL LEARNING ON PERCEIVED MENTAL HEALTH OF COLLEGE STUDENTS DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC","authors":"P. Nayak","doi":"10.51936/tip.59.3.644-664","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51936/tip.59.3.644-664","url":null,"abstract":"The study in this article addresses three research questions: a) how do college students view the effectiveness of technology-mediated virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic; b) how does virtual learning impact their perceived mental health; and c) what is the mode of learning they most prefer? It follows an explanatory research design and survey method. Data are collected using a questionnaire with a purposive sample of 102 students and interviews with 20 students and 40 faculty members in India. The conceptual framework of this study is quite similar to the modified version of the Technology Acceptance Model (Venkatesh and Davis, 2000). The study reveals that 86% of the students find virtual learning to be ineffective. Such learning not only fails to provide adequate opportunities for experiential learning for developing knowledge, skills, and leadership abilities but also creates several perceived mental health problems. This study may help higher education institutions while designing and implementing virtual teaching-learning systems in order to prevent their negative impact on student’s perceived mental health in future crises.
