This article investigates the relationship between the borrowing activity of Russian households and their current conumer expendatures in the period of escalation of the social and economic crisis. The analysis was conducted on the basis of data provided by the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey, RLMS-HSE for 2015. The paper proposes and implements an approach that makes it possible to assess the impact of borrowings on inequality in consumption and poverty among households. It was revealed that the need of repayment results in saving on food, medical treatment and other vital needs for an overwhelming number of households. This is especially acute among families being beyond the poverty threshold. ; peer-reviewed

"This book deals with how to measure innovation in crisis management drawing on data, case studies and lessons learned from different European countries. The aim of this book is to tackle innovation in crisis management through lessons learned and experiences gained from the implementation of mixed methods through a practitioner driven approach in a large-scale demonstration project (DRIVER+). It explores innovation from the perspective of the end-users by focusing on the needs and problems they are trying to address through a tool (be it an app, a drone, or a training program) and takes a deep dive into what is needed to understand if and to what extent the tool they have in mind can really bring innovation. This book is a toolkit for readers interested in understanding what needs to be in place to measure innovation: it provides the know-how through examples and best practices. The book will be a valuable source of knowledge for scientistis, practitioners, researchers as well as postgraduate students studying safety, crisis management and innovation"--

Sicherheit und Überleben der menschlichen Rasse hängt unmittelbar davon ab, wie mit den Nuklarwaffen von denen, die sie besitzen, umgegangen wird. Selbst wenn es zu einer nuklaren Abrüstung kommt (was unwahrscheinlich ist) oder wenn es neue Verteidigungssysteme gegen ballistische Flugkörper gibt, bleibt die nuklare Gefahr bestehen. Es kommt also darauf an, ein Krisenmenagement zu schaffen, das in einer nuklearen Krise wirksam ist. Dazu muß die politische Infrastruktur in den USA verbessert werden und durch ein wirkungsvolles command and control-System müssen die Verbindungen zwischen politischer und militärischer Ebene verstärkt werden. Das gilt auch für die Beziehungen zur UdSSR und für das Verhältnis zu den übrigen NATO-Partnern. (BIOst-BwD/Hie)
