Costos y desempeño económico del traslado en el tiempo de productos agrícolas: el silobolsa en Argentina (2004-2014) by S. FERRO MORENO, J. PATURLANNE

“…El silobolsa en Argentina es una herramienta consolidada de traslado en el tiempo de la producción granaria, ampliamente utilizada por productores agropecuarios, acopios, industrias y otros actores de los complejos agroalimentarios. Más allá de su desempeño positivo en aspectos como el poder de negociación, la estacionalidad de la producción, la infraestructura de almacenaje, el trasporte y la exportación, entre otros, es necesario analizar el desempeño económico-financiero en los niveles micro (organizaciones). …”

Reviewing South Africa’s Non-Proliferation Policy and Strategic Trade Controls by Melanie Reddiar

I santi degli altri. Devozione, mutamento e rituali tra i singalesi cattolici a Messina by Giovanni Cordova

“…For this reason, processes of construction of sainthood at the core of these ritual systems, very useful to reflect upon the vernacularization of religious discourses along the post-colonial trajectories of western “multicultural” Church, will be analyzed looking at the interactions connecting them to ecclesial powers, the daily experience of the sacred, and religious actors’ existential and biographical paths. Sinhala Catholics living in Messina are now deeply grounded in the local migration landscape. …”

Emerging international regime of information security by S. V. Shitkov, T. A. Polyakova, A. A. Smirnov

“…Currently, the relevant norms and principles, which are based on the fundamental principles of international law, enshrined in the UN Charter, are presented in the resolutions of the UN General Assembly, and are also enshrined in the reports of the Group of Governmental Experts on achievements in the field of informatization and telecommunications in the context of international security.The norms fixed in the documents are not mandatory, but they make an important contribution to ensuring international stability by structuring the expectations of various actors in the field of information security. However, the lack of formal consolidation and institutionalization of these norms within the framework of international treaties reduces their legitimacy.…”

Adaptive Behavior of Farmers after Water Right Reform from the Perspective of Prospect Theory by WAN Fubing, SUN Boming, DAI Xiaoping

“…In an uncertain environment,the adaptive behavior of farmers after the reform of the water right system affects the reform effect of water rights.Most existing studies have regarded farmers as entirely rational actors,and there is still a lack of theoretical analysis and quantitative description of farmers' behavior based on the assumption of bounded rational behavior.Therefore,prospect theory is introduced to study the adaptive behavior of farmers under the conditions of total water right control and water right trading.Taking two irrigation districts in the Shiyang River Basin into account,this paper analyzes the planting structure adjustment,irrigation area selection,and water right trading behavior of farmers under the conditions of reducing the total irrigation water by 5%,15%,and 25%.It is found that in the condition of water right reduction,the optimal decision for growing wheat and maize is ‘adjustment and water purchase’,and the worst decision is ‘reducing irrigation area’.The effect of water right reduction on the prospect value of maize is greater than that of wheat.The prospect value of different decisions varies monotonically with the proportion of reduction in water use.The results show that the prospect theory model can better describe the adaptive behavior of farmers and can provide a reference for the simulation and regulation of agricultural water right reform.…”

El argumento central es que ambos partidos presentan un precario proceso de institucionalización organizativa, el cual se expresa en la debilidad de sus procesos de rutinización de las reglas internas. …”
