“…25,47,59 An alternative conceptualization is that those with PE share characteristics with all workers but are on the extreme end of the continuum of job security, pay, benefits, and rights. In fact, this level of precarity was described as early as the nineteenth century when Marx and Engels developed the concept of working-class precariousness under their theory of the reserve army of labor; 60,61 individuals with a low degree of attachment to the labor market leading to chronic underemployment, and low levels of worker rights. Thus, those engaged in PE may not be a unique group but rather a subset of workers experiencing extreme forms of exploitation.…”

Precarious Employment (PE) is characterized by job, income, and benefit insecurities. Studies surrounding PE and well-being have been predominantly quantitative, leaving a gap in rich descriptions of employment experiences. We recruited a sample of 40 adults aged 25-55 who were involved in PE during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic or lost employment due to the pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were administered. Employment and income insecurities were common and had negative impacts on the well-being of participants and their families. Uncertainty about future employment prospects and job and income loss resulted in chronic distress. Other insecurities—access to benefits, violation of worker rights, worker safety—was also reported as impacting well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic deepened insecurities, hardships, and distress among workers with PE conditions. Given the myriad insecurities experienced by those engaged in PE, the focus of precarious work research should also include working conditions, violation of worker rights, and managerial domination.

“…Framed by the theory of uneven and combined development, our alternative explanation of the nation's historical ambiguity traces the modernity of the nation to its ‘sovereignty’ (Anderson, 2006, p. 6; Matin, 2019): the specifically modern form of rule rooted in ‘primitive accumulation’ as the historical genesis of capitalism (Marx, 1990, pp. 873–907).…”

This circumstance delayed the political completion of the English bourgeois revolution, hence leaving in place a political order simultaneously both representative and patrician (Nairn, 1977, pp.…”

Existing accounts of Kurdish nationalism can be mapped onto the main theories of nationalism, that is, primordialism, ethnosymbolism and modernism. These theories, however, suffer, respectively, from essentialism, circularity and aporia, manifest in their common inability to digest the Janus‐like character of nations, that is, their display of simultaneous modernity and antiquity. This paper develops an alternative account through a critical application of the theory of ‘uneven and combined development’ (UCD) to the Republic of Kurdistan of 1946. The argument unfolds in three steps. First, we argue that the failure of mainstream theories of nationalism to explain the nation's historical ambiguity lies in their ‘internalism’. Second, we show that UCD overcomes internalism through its plural social ontology and enables a retheorising of nations as interactive products of the geopolitical mediation of historical capitalism's expansion through societal multiplicity. Central to this process was the emergence of nationalism as a defensive and emulative ideology of geopolitical self‐preservation. This involved reversing the sociological and political moments of the originary formation of the British imperial nation. We argue that this historical reversal underpins the Janus‐like form of nations, including the Kurdish nation. Third, we substantiate the argument through a brief case study of the Republic of Kurdistan.

“…K. Marx notes that accounting as a means of control and conclusion of production processes becomes more necessary if the production process is carried out on a social scale and loses its individual characteristics. Accounting costs are reduced along with the accumulation of products and bringing it to public accounts [5].…”

The complexity of the relationship of modern agricultural enterprise in connection with the change in their financial and economic situation puts forward new requirements for the connection of agricultural enterprises with the information support of the activity management process. Modern conditions of the external environment of agricultural enterprises and the aggravation of price competition complicate the issue of effective management of agricultural enterprises. This problem manifests itself during a period of crisis in the national economy, especially in the activities of industrial agricultural enterprises, and they are forced to look for other ways to maintain their positions in the market. In the agricultural enterprise management system, management decisions are made based on reliable and timely information through the use of modern management, accounting, planning, analysis and control tools. Points of view on the interpretation of management accounting vary depending on the development of economic systems and the impact of economic globalization processes. The modern view of management accounting did not arise immediately, many scientists and researchers in the study of historical periods are trying to find out the main foundations and conditions for its formation. Therefore, this article clearly studies management accounting in the information system of agricultural enterprise.
