The time of pandemics could be described by the overflow of health related news in media, but also the rise of researches concerning it. However, there is still a lack of information about message characteristics which effect belief in it, besides older people are underrepresented in these studies. Belief in fake news is especially dangerous for older people, not only because fake news usually promotes dangerous behavior (e.g. do not seek COVID-19 vaccination), but also because older people are the ones who are most likely to share fake news on social media in such way helping to spread them. The aim of the study was to estimate the influence of information framing and psychological distance on belief in health related information under time pressure in older adults. Study was based on representable sample of 50 years and older Lithuanians. In total 505 participants took part in the study. 200 (30,6 %) were men, 305 (60,4%) were women. Participants ranged in age from 50 to 94 with the mean age of 66,27 (SD = 11,24). Study was a between-subject design experiment. Belief in Health related news information served as a dependent variable, Framing of Information and Psychological Distance as independent variables, also age, gender and education were control variables. Participants were presented with eight fake and eight true news headlines about vaccination and COVID-19 in the form of social media posts for 7 seconds and had to evaluate their belief in these headlines. Results indicate, that neither psychological distance, nor information framing have any influence on overall belief in health related information in older adults. Even though gender and education were not related to overall belief in news, a significant positive correlation between age and belief in health related information was found. Our research prove that older people become more truth biased with age.
大流行的时间可以用媒体上与健康相关的新闻泛滥来描述,也可以用相关研究的兴起来描述。然而,关于影响信念的信息特征的信息仍然缺乏,而且老年人在这些研究中的代表性不足。相信假新闻对老年人尤其危险,不仅因为假新闻通常会助长危险行为(例如,不寻求COVID-19疫苗接种),还因为老年人最有可能在社交媒体上分享假新闻,从而帮助传播假新闻。本研究的目的是评估信息框架和心理距离对老年人在时间压力下对健康相关信息信念的影响。研究基于50岁及以上立陶宛人的代表性样本。共有505名参与者参加了这项研究。男性200例(30.6%),女性305例(60.04%)。参与者的年龄从50岁到94岁不等,平均年龄为66,27岁(SD = 11,24)。本研究为受试者间设计实验。因变量为健康相关新闻信息信念,自变量为信息框架和心理距离,控制变量为年龄、性别和受教育程度。参与者以社交媒体帖子的形式看到关于疫苗接种和COVID-19的8个假新闻标题和8个真新闻标题,并被要求评估他们对这些标题的信念。结果表明,心理距离和信息框架都没有影响老年人对健康相关信息的总体信念。尽管性别和教育程度与对新闻的总体信任度无关,但年龄与对健康相关信息的信任度之间存在显著的正相关。我们的研究证明,随着年龄的增长,老年人对真相的偏见会越来越大。

Non-financial reporting as "the way to disclose how companies operate and manage social and environmental challenges" is gaining popularity during last decade and is constantly changing field of study. Being non-mandatory for most companies the non-financial information is disclosed in the form of Environmental reports, CSR reports, Social activity reports, SDG and ESG reporting. During recent five years a growing body of literature has been discussing how the EU member states are ratifying non-financial reporting Directive 2014/95/EU (NFRD) (Camilleri, 2017), its impact on the quality of the non-financial reporting (Ottenstein et al., 2021, Schroder, 2022, Lippai-Makra et al., 2022).) and the importance for investors (Amel-Zadeh & Serafeim,2018). This directive requires large public interest entities with over 500 employees (listed companies, banks, and insurance companies) to disclose certain non-financial information. These changes seem to be challenging and require companies to review their compliance with the latest requirements. The aim of this study is to determine whether the Estonian listed companies have implemented the requirements of the NFRD and what are the major changes related to its enforcement as well as the preferred way of disclosing non-financial information. Authors have conducted a qualitative content analysis of non-financial information of companies in the period of 2015-2020. The sample of the survey includes thirteen companies listed on the main list of the Nasdaq Tallinn Stock Exchange as of 31.12.2021 as. Authors analysed non-financial information disclosed in the 78 reports of companies by selected areas on the basis of a unified valuation model. The main focus is on the content of the reports and on the changes that have taken place during the research period. The main findings revealed that in general companies have successfully complied with the requirements stipulated by the NFRD. The relevance, consistency and comparability of the information disclosed have improved over the years. In general, it can be concluded that mandatory requirements for the harmonization of non- financial information are important and contribute to the measurement and monitoring of the activities of companies and their impact on society and environment.
非财务报告作为“披露公司如何运作和管理社会和环境挑战的方式”在过去十年中越来越受欢迎,并且不断变化的研究领域。对于大多数公司来说,非财务信息以环境报告、CSR报告、社会活动报告、可持续发展目标和ESG报告的形式披露。 近五年来,越来越多的文献一直在讨论欧盟成员国如何批准非财务报告指令2014/95/EU (NFRD) (Camilleri, 2017),其对非财务报告质量的影响(Ottenstein等人,2021,Schroder, 2022, Lippai-Makra等人,2022)。)以及对投资者的重要性(Amel-Zadeh &Serafeim, 2018)。该指令要求雇员超过500人的大型公共利益实体(上市公司、银行和保险公司)披露某些非财务信息。这些变化似乎具有挑战性,要求公司审查其是否符合最新要求。 本研究的目的是确定爱沙尼亚上市公司是否实施了NFRD的要求,以及与其执行有关的主要变化以及披露非财务信息的首选方式。作者对2015-2020年公司非财务信息进行了定性内容分析。调查样本包括截至2021年12月31日在纳斯达克塔林证券交易所主名单上上市的13家公司。在统一估值模型的基础上,对78家公司按特定领域披露的非财务信息进行了分析。主要的重点是报告的内容和在研究期间发生的变化。主要调查结果显示,一般来说,公司都成功地遵守了《新规》所规定的要求。多年来,所披露信息的相关性、一致性和可比性不断提高。&# x#总的来说,可以得出结论,统一非财务信息的强制性要求是重要的,有助于衡量和监测公司的活动及其对社会和环境的影响。

The Black Sea region is an economic, trade, transport, energy, geostrategic and political crossroads. The Black Sea is not only an external border of the EU but also a strategic European macro-region that needs to be integrated into the European economy and market. Over the decades, several initiatives have been organized to satisfy the interests of global and regional players in order to improve the economic, environmental, social, and transport situation, including connectivity through the construction of strategic transport infrastructure (regional and interregional). Such initiatives include the Organization for Black Sea Economic Cooperation; the European Union's policies related to the development of the region as an external border, the Three Seas, and individual country strategies and policies. In fact, to a large extent, all these initiatives and policies aim at stability, security, and economic and social development of the region while protecting the environment. The analysis of the policies so far leads to the conclusion that a high degree of coherence, coordination, and implementation of a strategic approach to solving regional problems and creating integrity, connectivity, and regional coherence in the context of European integration has not been achieved so far. The focus of our study is the Black Sea municipalities. The aim of our presentation is to outline the necessary levels of regional connectivity and investment policies that can be important for the overall sustainable development of our coast in the context of European integration. In this respect, small agglomeration areas have spatially formed from north to south by 2021. This paper focuses on regional connectivity and investment policies in the Bulgarian Black Sea region, outlining an important range of issues related to its development. The present presentation provides an overview of the Black Sea coast by highlighting the common socio-economic characteristics in its spatial development. Relevant conclusions and recommendations for the development of the region are drawn. The scientific results of the study are related to some general conclusions on how Black Sea European integration, connectivity, and overcoming territorial disparities can be achieved. First, there is a need for a new approach to long-term planning in the field of strategic transport infrastructure and regional development. Secondly, there is a need to consider the idea of developing a Strategy for the Black Sea Region based on integrated territorial investments, the development of agglomerations of municipalities, and improved connectivity. Thirdly, it is necessary to establish a Black Sea operational program.
黑海地区是经济、贸易、交通、能源、地缘战略和政治的十字路口。黑海不仅是欧盟的外部边界,也是需要融入欧洲经济和市场的战略性欧洲宏观区域。几十年来,为了满足全球和区域参与者的利益,已经组织了一些倡议,以改善经济、环境、社会和交通状况,包括通过建设战略交通基础设施(区域和区域间)实现互联互通。这些倡议包括黑海经济合作组织;欧盟的政策与该地区的发展有关,作为外部边界,三海,以及个别国家的战略和政策。事实上,在很大程度上,所有这些倡议和政策的目的都是在保护环境的同时,促进该地区的稳定、安全和经济社会发展。对迄今为止的政策的分析得出的结论是,到目前为止,在欧洲一体化的背景下,解决区域问题和创造完整性、连通性和区域一致性的战略方法的高度一致性、协调性和实施尚未实现。 我们研究的重点是黑海城市。我们演讲的目的是概述区域连通性和投资政策的必要水平,这对欧洲一体化背景下我们沿海地区的整体可持续发展很重要。在这方面,到2021年,小集聚区在空间上已由北向南形成。 本文重点关注保加利亚黑海地区的区域连通性和投资政策,概述了与其发展相关的一系列重要问题。本报告通过强调其空间发展中的共同社会经济特征,概述了黑海海岸。对该区域的发展提出了相关的结论和建议。研究的科学结果与如何实现黑海欧洲一体化、连通性和克服领土差异的一些一般性结论有关。首先,需要在战略运输基础设施和区域发展领域采取新的长期规划办法。其次,有必要考虑制定黑海地区战略的想法,该战略的基础是综合领土投资、城市集群的发展和改善连通性。第三,有必要制定黑海作战计划。

European Commission in 2019 has developed an ambitious strategy for sustainable economic growth - the European Green Deal. It sets out two key objectives: to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent, with zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and to decouple economic growth from resource use. While the responsible authorities will be taking the relevant decisions, citizens must also do their part by changing their habits, protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. The Green Deal implementation’s success requires the participation and commitment of the public. There are eight main Green Deal initiatives / policy areas, which need to be transferred to Lithuanian law (Increasing the EU’s climate ambition for 2030 and 2050; Building and renovating in an energy and recourse efficient way; From “Farm to Fork”: a fair, healthy and environmentally friendly food system; Accelerating the shift for sustainable and smart mobility; Supplying clean, affordable and sustainable energy; Mobilizing industry for a clean and circular economy; Preserving and restoring ecosystems and biodiversity; A zero pollution ambition for a toxic free environment). The main tasks of this article were to identify the main goals and initiatives of the European Green Deal, to perform a content analysis of Lithuanian environmental NGOs and their activity goals and present conclusions. Primary methods used: content analysis of Lithuanian environmental NGOs objectives, data comparison with main policy areas of the European Green Deal (EGD), survey to check if organizations aligned their objectives with the EGD purposefully. The key results. After comparing the main Green Deal initiatives with Lithuanian environmental NGO’s performance objectives, we can see, that most of them work in preserving and restoring ecosystems and biodiversity, also in mobilizing industry for a clean and circular economy. There’s only one NGO which act in clean, affordable and sustainable energy field and two NGOs which act in building and renovating in an energy and recourse efficient way. Estimating the size of Lithuanian population, there is a large number of environmental NGOs, but unfortunately, they are not very well known for society. That’s why their performance is not very much influential on political decisions. The key barriers for the development of green initiatives should be identified and the attraction of new members with specific knowledge and with understanding the purpose for working at NGO. Keywords: environmental NGOs, green deal, green deal initiatives, environmental protection, political decisions.
欧盟委员会于2019年制定了一项雄心勃勃的可持续经济增长战略——《欧洲绿色协议》。它提出了两个关键目标:使欧洲成为第一个气候中和的大陆,到2050年实现零温室气体净排放;使经济增长与资源使用脱钩。在主管部门做出相关决定的同时,公民也必须通过改变习惯、保护环境和节约自然资源来尽自己的一份力量。《绿色新政》的成功实施需要公众的参与和承诺。有八个主要的绿色协议倡议/政策领域需要转移到立陶宛法律中(增加欧盟2030年和2050年的气候目标;以节能高效的方式进行建筑和改造;从“农场到餐桌”:公平、健康和环保的食品体系;加快向可持续和智能交通的转变;提供清洁、廉价和可持续的能源;动员工业发展清洁和循环经济;保护和恢复生态系统和生物多样性;零污染目标,打造无毒环境)。本文的主要任务是确定欧洲绿色协议的主要目标和倡议,对立陶宛环境非政府组织及其活动目标进行内容分析,并提出结论。 使用的主要方法:立陶宛环境非政府组织目标的内容分析,与欧洲绿色协议(EGD)主要政策领域的数据比较,调查以检查组织是否有意将其目标与EGD保持一致。 关键结果。将主要的绿色协议倡议与立陶宛环保非政府组织的绩效目标进行比较后,我们可以看到,其中大多数都致力于保护和恢复生态系统和生物多样性,以及动员工业实现清洁和循环经济。只有一个非政府组织从事清洁、可负担和可持续能源领域的工作,两个非政府组织从事以能源和资源有效的方式进行建筑和翻新的工作。估计立陶宛的人口规模,有大量的环保非政府组织,但不幸的是,他们不是很出名的社会。这就是为什么他们的表现对政治决策没有太大影响。确定绿色行动发展的主要障碍,并吸引具有特定知识和理解非政府组织工作目的的新成员。 关键词:环保ngo,绿色交易,绿色交易倡议,环境保护,政治决策。

This paper seeks to address the role of European public policy in addressing the problem of Covid-19 vaccine-rollout policy. Currently in Europe, instead of market-based allocation a centralized command-based approach has been implemented to address the essential questions of production and distribution of vaccines throughout the EU. This is centralized, command-based decision-making on the allocation of vaccines which is leading to political and sociological tensions among EU Member States. Paper argues that in order to mitigate these shortcomings European public policy could employ a more nuanced approach. While employing law and economics tools this paper addresses the questions on how European societies should allocate vaccine and, more importantly, who should make this allocation decisions. Moreover, identified moral negative externalities, status quo and omission biases, planning fallacy, risk aversion, administrative rigidity, notorious type-I-type-II error fallacy and related unraveled markets phenomena might result in vaccine-rollout failures.
本文旨在探讨欧洲公共政策在解决Covid-19疫苗推广政策问题中的作用。目前,在欧洲,为解决整个欧盟疫苗生产和分配的基本问题,采用了以集中命令为基础的方法,而不是以市场为基础的分配。这是一种集中的、基于命令的疫苗分配决策,正在导致欧盟成员国之间的政治和社会紧张局势。佩尔认为,为了减轻这些缺点,欧洲的公共政策可以采用一种更细致入微的方法。在使用法律和经济学工具的同时,本文解决了欧洲社会应该如何分配疫苗的问题,更重要的是,谁应该做出分配决定。此外,确定的道德负面外部性、现状和遗漏偏见、计划谬误、风险规避、行政僵化、臭名昭著的i型- ii型错误谬误以及相关的市场疏解现象都可能导致疫苗推广失败。

Productivity Challenges in Europe During the COVID-19 Pandemic 2019冠状病毒病大流行期间欧洲的生产力挑战
Pub Date : 2023-09-15 DOI: 10.5755/j01.eis.1.17.34019
Janis Priede
Productivity determines the competitiveness of an economy. High productivity implies low inputs for producing a given amount of output. This allows firms to offer their products and services at lower prices than firms in other regions and countries. In contrast, low productivity implies wasteful usage of labor, capital or other inputs to produce a certain output and leads to higher production costs and, ultimately, higher prices. Many European countries are exhibiting a prolonged slowdown in productivity growth. When it comes to labor productivity, a key indicator, countries like France, Germany or Italy had annual growth rates between 3 and 9 percent until the mid-1970s. Since then, growth rates have declined substantially and are well below 2 percent since the year 2000. Explanations for this phenomenon range from a slowdown of technological progress and diffusion to a structural shift of economies towards lower productive services, restrained investment activity since the financial crisis and mere measurement difficulties. Some believe that the big productivity boost from digitization is yet to come. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to productivity across Europe. The pandemic has disrupted businesses, supply chains, and the labor market, resulting in reduced economic activity and an increase in unemployment. Some of the productivity challenges faced by Europe during the pandemic include remote work, supply chain disruptions, reduced consumer demand, increased sick leaves and many other problems that directly influence productivity during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant challenges to productivity across Europe. Businesses and governments must work together to find innovative solutions to overcome these challenges and help the European economy recover from the pandemic. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the productivity issues in European countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tasks of the research: 1) analyze literature about the main productivity determining factors; 2) determine main reasons for the productivity slowdown in the European countries during the pandemic; 2) Analyze government response policies related to COVID-19 pandemic and impact on the long-term productivity and competitiveness. Research methods: Literature analysis, data analysis.
生产率决定了一个经济体的竞争力。高生产率意味着在生产一定数量的产出时投入较少。这使得公司能够以比其他地区和国家更低的价格提供产品和服务。相反,低生产率意味着浪费劳动力、资本或其他投入来生产一定的产出,并导致更高的生产成本,最终导致更高的价格。许多欧洲国家正在表现出生产率增长的长期放缓。在劳动生产率这一关键指标上,法国、德国和意大利等国直到上世纪70年代中期的年增长率都在3%到9%之间。自那以后,增长率大幅下降,自2000年以来远低于2%。对这一现象的解释多种多样,从技术进步和扩散的减缓到经济向生产率较低的服务业的结构性转变、金融危机以来投资活动受到限制以及仅仅是计量方面的困难。一些人认为,数字化带来的生产力大幅提升尚未到来。新冠肺炎大流行给整个欧洲的生产力带来了前所未有的挑战。大流行扰乱了企业、供应链和劳动力市场,导致经济活动减少,失业率上升。欧洲在大流行期间面临的一些生产力挑战包括远程工作、供应链中断、消费者需求减少、病假增加以及许多其他问题,这些问题在COVID-19大流行期间直接影响生产力。COVID-19大流行给整个欧洲的生产力带来了重大挑战。企业和政府必须共同努力,寻找创新的解决方案,克服这些挑战,帮助欧洲经济从大流行中复苏。该研究的目的是评估欧洲国家在COVID-19大流行期间的生产力问题。& # x0D;研究任务:1)对生产率主要决定因素的文献分析;2)确定大流行期间欧洲国家生产率放缓的主要原因;2)分析与COVID-19大流行相关的政府应对政策及其对长期生产力和竞争力的影响。 研究方法:文献分析法、资料分析法。

The open innovation (OI) is the actual framework for exploiting external resources and wider networks in doing innovation instead of just operating with in-house resources. Business incubators ensure networking and facilitate OI collaborations both inside the incubator among entrepreneurs and outside with external stakeholders.The purpose of the qualitative study is to identify the European trends in business incubation through OI approach by setting two main tasks – 1) identify business incubation trends and 2) validate these theoretical findings by conducting the empirical study in Latvia business incubators and 3) draw the conclusions for business incubation practitioners in order to improve business incubation from OI perspective.The qualitative research methods applied – 1) literature review on business incubation trends, OI approach in business incubation such as service provision, online and onsite incubation, tenant OI competences and strategies, co-creation and collaboration and 2) the empirical qualitative research in Latvia business incubators by conducting incubator management (13) interviews.The results proved that the main national trends dominant and present in Latvian business incubation are corresponding to the European trends, namely, 1) incubators are serving as OI partners and are recognized by tenants as access providers to external resources ands networks; 2) networking as facilitating activity of the  inside-out and outside-in OI strategies; 3) tenants’ OI strategies and motivation as well as variety of OI partners (experts, mentors, clients, companies, researchers, universities) promote the better incubation results in terms of ideas validated, product developed, companies created and innovation implemented. These results are in line with the main findings on European trends from a literature review perspective.This article provides national findings on OI application in business incubation as the empirical novelty for business incubation practitioners, academia, entrepreneurship support policy makers and tenants internationally detecting the crucial role of OI activities applied in business incubation and incubators as OI partners. Business incubation trend analysis through Open innovation approach is a novelty of this research.Key words: open innovation, open innovation strategies, business incubator, business incubation trends, value co-creationAcknowledgementThis research was conducted within the project “Open Innovation, No1.1.1.2/VIAA/3/19/426” funded by Postdoctoral Research Support Aid programme of Latvia.
开放式创新(OI)是利用外部资源和更广泛的网络进行创新的实际框架,而不仅仅是使用内部资源。企业孵化器确保在孵化器内部与企业家之间以及外部与外部利益相关者之间建立网络并促进OI合作。定性研究的目的是通过OI方法确定欧洲企业孵化的趋势,通过设置两个主要任务- 1)确定企业孵化趋势,2)通过在拉脱维亚企业孵化器中进行实证研究来验证这些理论发现,3)为企业孵化从业者得出结论,以便从OI角度改进企业孵化。应用的定性研究方法- 1)对企业孵化趋势的文献综述,企业孵化中的OI方法,如服务提供,在线和现场孵化,租户OI能力和策略,共同创造和协作;2)通过进行孵化器管理访谈对拉脱维亚企业孵化器进行实证定性研究(13)。结果证明,在拉脱维亚企业孵化中占主导地位和存在的主要国家趋势与欧洲趋势相对应,即1)孵化器作为OI合作伙伴,被租户认可为外部资源和网络的访问提供者;2)网络作为促进由内到外和由外到内OI策略的活动;3)租户的OI策略和动机以及各种OI合作伙伴(专家、导师、客户、公司、研究人员、大学)在验证想法、开发产品、创建公司和实施创新方面促进了更好的孵化结果。从文献综述的角度来看,这些结果与欧洲趋势的主要发现一致。本文提供了关于企业孵化中OI应用的国家研究结果,作为企业孵化从业者、学术界、创业支持政策制定者和租户的经验新颖性,发现OI活动在企业孵化中的应用以及作为OI合作伙伴的孵化器的关键作用。利用开放式创新方法分析企业孵化趋势是本研究的一个新颖之处。关键词:开放式创新,开放式创新战略,企业孵化器,企业孵化趋势,价值共创。致谢本研究是拉脱维亚博士后科研支持援助项目“开放式创新,no . 1.1.1.2/VIAA/3/19/426”项目的一部分。

The retail sector is an important engine of the national economy and an indicator of the development of the national economy. Over the last ten years, the total retail turnover index has increased by 31%, which highlights the acquisition of competitive advantages. Businesses need to fight strategically for consumers in an environment where information and services are widely available. Promoting customer loyalty is important for companies, but with the realization of responsible and sustainable operations, corporate social responsibility is one of the ways to promote it. It is important to understand how important corporate responsibility is to consumers and what corporate social responsibility activities are now important to consumers to draw conclusions about their impact on customer loyalty. The aim of the current research is to identify corporate social responsibility activities that promote customer loyalty in the Latvian retail sector. In order to achieve the aim of the work, the following tasks have been set: (1) to study theoretical aspects of corporate social responsibility and customer loyalty; (2) to develop a questionnaire to assess public opinion on the importance of corporate social responsibility in the food retail sector and to conduct an in-depth interview to find out the opinion on the results of the questionnaire in practice;(3) to identify the corporate social responsibility activities that are important to society and promote the loyalty. The research question put forward is: What corporate social responsibility activities affect customer loyalty? For analysis of statistical data, the authors use such methods as internal coherence analysis (Cronbach's alpha), frequency analysis, ranking, factor analysis, graphical analysis. In order to identify the factors influencing corporate social responsibility in the Latvian retail sector, a survey was carried out. As a result of factor analysis a scheme of corporate social responsibility activities was developed for companies in the food retail sector, grouping together the most important directions and activities of corporate social responsibility for consumers in order to promote the customer loyalty.Keywords: customer loyalty, corporate social responsibility, retailing, competitiveness, corporate citizenship
零售业是国民经济的重要引擎,是国民经济发展的风向标。在过去的十年中,零售总营业额指数增长了31%,这凸显了竞争优势的获得。企业需要在信息和服务广泛可用的环境中战略性地争夺消费者。提升顾客忠诚度对企业来说是很重要的,但随着责任经营和可持续经营的实现,企业社会责任是提升顾客忠诚度的途径之一。重要的是要了解企业责任对消费者的重要性,以及哪些企业社会责任活动现在对消费者很重要,从而得出关于它们对客户忠诚度影响的结论。当前研究的目的是确定促进拉脱维亚零售部门客户忠诚度的企业社会责任活动。为了实现本文的工作目的,本文设置了以下任务:(1)研究企业社会责任与顾客忠诚的理论问题;(2)制定调查问卷,评估公众对食品零售业企业社会责任重要性的看法,并进行深度访谈,了解公众对调查问卷结果在实践中的看法;(3)确定对社会重要的企业社会责任活动,并促进忠诚度。提出的研究问题是:哪些企业社会责任活动影响顾客忠诚度?对于统计数据的分析,作者使用了内部相干分析(Cronbach’s alpha)、频率分析、排序、因子分析、图形分析等方法。为了确定影响拉脱维亚零售部门企业社会责任的因素,进行了一项调查。通过因子分析,为食品零售企业制定了企业社会责任活动方案,将企业社会责任对消费者最重要的方向和活动进行组合,以促进消费者的忠诚度。关键词:顾客忠诚,企业社会责任,零售业,竞争力,企业公民

To raise and/ or increase a psychological well-being of Latvian immigrants in Germany and facilitate their integration, the Latvian Association where Latvian immigrants have an opportunity to come together, mark holidays, cherish traditions, as well as get involved in amateur art groups, has been founded. Some quantitative studies on immigrants’ satisfaction with life in Germany are available, but studies on the Latvian immigrants in Germany have not been conducted so far. The aim of the study is to research the psychological well-being of Latvian immigrants and their engagement with their cultural community in Germany. To define 6 dimensions of well-being in a sample of the Latvian immigrants in Germany, survey on psychological well-being, and a survey developed by the authors on attracting immigrants to the community were used as data collection methods. Findings of the research showed that, the most important dimensions of the psychological well-being of the Latvian immigrants are described by articles of the Life Purpose scale. It means that the Latvian immigrants in Germany strive to fulfil their goals and make their lives better with purpose to integrate into the German environment. Respondents rated high also the Environmental Mastery dimension, meaning that Latvian immigrants are able to provide for their daily needs abroad. Articles of the Personal Growth scale were rated low. It shows the fact that the Latvian immigrants are unable to facilitate their personal growth, though in Germany they receive higher salary than in Latvia, as this salary is still in the low-wage segment of Germany. The Autonomy scale resonating with the status of immigrants and their dependence on various authorities is also evaluated very low. Articles related to the Affiliation scale showed that the most important engagement factors for the Latvian immigrants in Germany were emotions, Latvian traditions, and Latvian’s. The Inspiring People scale received the lowest evaluation among the engagement factors. In addition, the Distance factor was evaluated with low scores, what can be explained in two ways – either the Association is too far from the place of residence or the distance is insignificant, and some Latvians will visit the Association, regardless of it.Keywords: immigrants, psychological well-being, integration, immigrants’ engagement, Latvian Association
为了提高和/或增加在德国的拉脱维亚移民的心理健康并促进他们融入社会,拉脱维亚协会成立了,拉脱维亚移民有机会在这里聚会,庆祝节日,珍惜传统,并参与业余艺术团体。对于移民在德国的生活满意度有一些定量的研究,但目前还没有对在德国的拉脱维亚移民进行研究。这项研究的目的是研究拉脱维亚移民的心理健康状况以及他们与德国文化社区的互动。为了在德国的拉脱维亚移民样本中定义幸福的6个维度,采用了心理健康调查和作者开发的关于吸引移民到社区的调查作为数据收集方法。研究结果表明,拉脱维亚移民心理健康的最重要方面是由生活目的量表的文章描述的。这意味着在德国的拉脱维亚移民努力实现自己的目标,改善自己的生活,有目的地融入德国的环境。受访者对环境掌握方面的评价也很高,这意味着拉脱维亚移民能够在国外满足他们的日常需求。个人成长量表的条目得分较低。它显示了拉脱维亚移民无法促进个人成长的事实,尽管他们在德国的工资高于拉脱维亚,因为这一工资仍然处于德国的低工资部分。与移民身份及其对各种当局的依赖产生共鸣的自治量表也被评价为非常低。与隶属关系量表相关的文章显示,在德国的拉脱维亚移民最重要的参与因素是情绪、拉脱维亚传统和拉脱维亚人。在参与因素中,“鼓舞人心的人”的评价最低。此外,距离因素的评估得分很低,这可以用两种方式来解释-要么协会离居住地太远,要么距离不重要,一些拉脱维亚人会访问协会,而不管它。关键词:移民,心理健康,融合,移民参与,拉脱维亚协会

In 2019, the European Commission (EC) issued a communication on the European Green Deal (EGD), which marked a major transformation of the national economy to ensure a Europe neutral in 2050. One of the biggest challenges today is climate change, which is leading to environmental problems. To reduce these threats and risks to the world and humanity, the UN adopted 2015 the Paris Agreement, the United Nations (UN) Framework Convention on Climate Change, which sets out actions to reduce the effects of climate change. In 2019, the EC issued a statement stating that the European Union (EU) would be the first climate-neutral part of the world in 2050. To achieve this goal, activities, and goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 are set within the framework of the EGD. Transformation processes will be a comprehensive change in all sectors of the tangible economy, making the EU’s economy competitive, and innovative, promoting resource efficiency, moving to a clean, circular economy and halting climate change, preventing biodiversity loss, and reducing pollution.The article analyzes the goals and significance of the EGD toward a climate-neutral Europe. The aim of the article is to analyze the planned activities of the EGD, to evaluate the involvement of the state and society in achieving these goals.Keywords: green deal, climate-neutral Europe, priorities
2019年,欧盟委员会(EC)发布了一份关于《欧洲绿色协议》(EGD)的通讯,该协议标志着国民经济的重大转型,以确保欧洲在2050年实现中性。当今最大的挑战之一是气候变化,它导致了环境问题。为了减少这些对世界和人类的威胁和风险,联合国于2015年通过了《巴黎协定》,即《联合国气候变化框架公约》,规定了减少气候变化影响的行动。2019年,欧盟委员会发表声明称,到2050年,欧盟将成为世界上第一个实现气候中和的地区。为了实现这一目标,在《可持续发展战略》的框架内制定了到2030年将温室气体排放量减少55%的活动和目标。转型过程将是有形经济所有部门的全面变革,使欧盟经济具有竞争力和创新性,提高资源效率,转向清洁循环经济,遏制气候变化,防止生物多样性丧失,减少污染。文章分析了EGD对欧洲实现气候中和的目标和意义。本文的目的是分析EGD的计划活动,评估国家和社会在实现这些目标方面的参与。关键词:绿色协议、气候中和的欧洲、优先事项
