The Mobile Home Industrial Complex
Singlewide, 2017Co-Authors: Sonya Salamon, Katherine MactavishAbstract:For rural families with modest resources, and a housing dream for a better life, buying a trailer in a land-lease trailer park is a logical housing decision. The “mobile home Industrial Complex” is a term coined to capture the interlocked markets whose entrepreneurs – mobile dealers, financiers, and trailer park operators -- operate highly lucrative enterprises. Trailer parks have an important role to play in providing private solutions for affordable housing in rural areas. The reality of how the Industrial Complex operates, however, keeps the homeownership housing Dream that park families chase tantalizingly out of reach for all but a few.

Reforming the Mobile Home Industrial Complex
Singlewide, 2017Co-Authors: Sonya Salamon, Katherine MactavishAbstract:This chapter provides an overview of policy strategies intended to curb, or balance financial and social aspects of homeownership and park life with the structure and profitability of the mobile-home Industrial Complex. Strategies at the federal, state and local levels are considered.

metal concentrations in soils around the copper smelter and surrounding Industrial Complex of port kembla nsw australia
Science of The Total Environment, 2004Co-Authors: E Martley, Brian L Gulson, Hansrudolf PfeiferAbstract:b ´ Abstract Anthropogenic emissions of metals from sources such as smelters are an international problem, but there is limited published information on emissions from Australian smelters. The objective of this study was to investigate the regional distribution of heavy metals in soils in the vicinity of the Industrial Complex of Port Kembla, NSW, Australia, which comprises a copper smelter, steelworks and associated industries. Soil samples (ns25) were collected at the depths of 0-5 and 5-20 cm, air dried and sieved to -2 mm. Aqua regia extractable amounts of As, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn were analysed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Outliers were identified from background levels by statistical methods. Mean background levels at a depth of 0-5 cm were estimated at 3.2 mgykg As, 12 mgykg Cr, 49 mgykg Cu, 20 mgykg Pb and 42 mgykg Zn. Outliers for elevated As and Cu values were mainly present within 4 km from the Port Kembla Industrial Complex, but high Pb at two sites and high Zn concentrations were found at six sites up to 23 km from Port Kembla. Chromium concentrations were not anomalous close to the Industrial Complex. There was no significant difference of metal concentrations at depths of 0-5 and 5-20 cm, except for Pb and Zn. Copper and As concentrations in the soils are probably related to the concentrations in the parent rock. From this investigation, the extent of the contamination emanating from the Port Kembla Industrial Complex is limited to 1-13 km, but most likely -4 km, depending on the element; the contamination at the greater distance may not originate from the Industrial Complex. 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Evaluating economic security threats to the regional Industrial Complex
National Interests: Priorities and Security, 2020Co-Authors: V. V. Akberdina, O.p. SmirnovaAbstract:Subject. The article discusses the economic security of the Industrial Complex, which directly depends on threats arising from the instability. Objectives. We herein analyze and evaluate economic security threats to the development of the regional Industrial Complex. We also analyze key economic indicators and qualities of an Industrial Complex and comprehensively evaluate the economic security of the regional Industrial Complex, referring to resources, production, S&T and financial aspects, which ensure smooth Industrial operations. Methods. The study is based on general methods of the systems, functional structure and comprehensive approach to analyzing the economic security of the region’s Industrial Complex. Results. We produce a set of indicators to assess risks of, and threats to regional Industrial Complexes. As for some indicators, current risks exceed tolerable values with respect to Russia and some Industrial regions. Conclusions and Relevance. As for some indicators in the national economy, current risks exceed tolerable values across Russia and in some Industrial regions. If the foreign policy situation deteriorates, the Industrial Complex may become weaker in certain regions. In some cases, the production process may even stall.

Transformation stages of the Russian Industrial Complex in the context of economy digitization
Problems and Perspectives in Management, 2018Co-Authors: V. V. Akberdina, Anna Kalinina, Andrey I. VlasovAbstract:The present article presents an approach to evaluating the transformation of the Industrial Complex in the context of deep penetration of digital technologies into the material sector of the economy. The authors propose a theoretical research platform based on the theory of a new Industrial society, substantiate a methodology, which comprises reproduction, institutional and synergetic approaches. The study showed that the transformation of the Industrial Complex, caused by any factors and implemented in any conditions, is always a discrete process of qualitative changes, resulting in significant structural changes and institutional transformations. The authors proposed a methodology to define the stages of Industrial Complex transformation in a digital economy. The authors’ model of the digitization process consists of five stages – primary information and communication digitization; electronic data exchange with external partners; use of specialized software; electronic data exchange with external partners. Within this framework, an empirical analysis was carried out to determine the digitization level of the Industrial Complex of Russia that implies a sufficiently high degree of primary computerization, the involvement of the Industrial enterprises in the “digital” communication with counterparties and the dynamic software development. The study shows that the process of digital transformation of the Russian industry is still in its formative stages.

The Transformation of the Russian Industrial Complex Under Digitalisation
Journal of the Ural State University of Economics, 2018Co-Authors: V. V. AkberdinaAbstract:The article presents an approach to assessing the transformation of an Industrial Complex in the con? ditions of deep penetration of digital technologies into the material sector of the economy. It formulates a theoretical research platform based on the theory of the new Industrial society, and substantiates a methodology encompassing reproductive, institutional and synergetic approaches. The paper shows that the transformation of the Industrial Complex, caused by any factors and implemented in any conditions, is always a discrete process of qualitative changes, leading to significant structural changes and institu? tional transformations. The author proposes a method for identifying the stages of the Industrial Complex transformation in the digital economy, representing them in the form of a pyramid, each of which has a certain “gene of digitalisation”. The author’s digitalisation pyramid includes five stages: primary ICT digitalisation; electronic data exchange with external partners; application of special software; own pro? duction of information and communication technologies and equipment; production and application of Industrial robots and sensors. Having applied the described method, the author assesses the level of digi? talisation of the Russian Industrial Complex and makes a conclusion about quite high degree of primary computerisation, inclusion of Industrial enterprises into “digital” exchange with suppliers and consumers, and dynamic development of the domestic software. At the same time, the analysis demonstrated that the process of digital transformation of the Russian industry is at its initial stages, and the achievement of the ambitious goals is possible only provided the goverment implements a competent Industrial policy.
