Mechanism and Empirical Analysis of the Impact of Industrial Agglomeration on the Green Development of the Dairy Industry by ZHANG Ying, CHEN Min

“…It was found that (1) industrial agglomeration significantly promoted the green development of the dairy industry, and this finding still holds after robustness and endogeneity tests, such as replacing the green development metrics, changing the clustering level, performing instrumental variable estimation and using heteroscedasticity-based instrumental variable methods; (2) the mechanism test showed that industrial agglomeration played a positive role in the green development of the dairy industry by improving the level of technological innovation and informatization; (3) group-wise regression results showed that for provinces that had not implemented the “ten-million-ton project” with low levels of good manufacturing practices, industrial agglomeration exerted a more positive effect on the green development of the dairy industry. Drawing on these findings, the study offers policy recommendations to advance the integration of industrial clusters and the green development of the dairy industry chain.…”

Regimes of participation: theorising participatory archives from the outset of archivists' views on archival institutions and user participation in Scandinavia by Isto Huvila

“…Results: The analysis shows that the professionals’ perceptions of the rationale and impact of participation and the societal role of archives and archival institutions forms clusters were interpreted as relating to regimes of participation. Conclusions: Drawing on the theorising of Boltanski and Thévenot, the alignments of the perceptions to archives’ raisons d’être and archival participation are explained in terms of four regimes of participation: 1) participation as an intrinsically valuable activity; 2) participation as a complement to professional work in the records continuum; 3) professional work as an auxiliary activity to participation of experts; and 4) participation as a means of producing additional value for archival institutions, i.e., arrangements of framing the justification and value of participation in, with and for archival institutions. …”
