“…The above dynamics are partly the consequence of the EU’s Eastern enlargement, which caused a shift in European manufacturing activity and production chains from the Southern EU members towards Central Europe. Poland and Hungary have become important members of the ‘Central European manufacturing core’ (Stehrer and Stöllinger, 2015) that has been formed with the leadership of Germany organising the region’s production networks and integrating them into the global value chains (GVCs) (Pavlínek, 2017). GVC participation in these countries is greater than in the Southern countries and their dependence on foreign capital and technologies has been persistent (Grodzicki and Geodecki, 2016; Kersan-Skabić, 2017).…”

Most foreign capital-led, export-oriented Eastern EU member states and the consumption-driven Southern European countries suffered a heavy blow during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008–09. The GFC exposed the vulnerability of these economies to external shocks and raised the need for readjustment of their growth models through state intervention. While the rise of illiberal governments drove readjustment in the East, the main driver was externally fomented in the South. This article focuses on state aid, a particular instrument of industrial policy, which has been a main vehicle for growth model readjustment. We seek to explore whether the provision of state aid in the two European semi-peripheries contributes to long-term post-crisis recovery by promoting competitive investments in two Eastern (Hungary and Poland) and two Southern EU members (Portugal and Spain). Relying on the European Commission’s state aid database, we show that after 2013, in the consumption-driven South, governments aimed to strengthen supply through aid, while in the export-oriented East, they were more concerned about promoting exporting firms. The article thus reveals how state aid may preserve and reinforce existing growth models in the semi-periphery even if strategic aims and rhetoric target readjustment.

“…In recent years, the position of the automobile industry in the development of the national economy has become increasingly important, 1,2 and one of the main performance indicators of the automobile is the braking performance of the automobile during driving, which directly affects the safety of driving and road traffic operation. Many major road traffic accidents are caused by the long braking distance of the automobile or the sideslip caused by the automobile's emergency braking.…”

Machine vision is a key technology to achieve high detection accuracy for the compensation hole parameters of automobile brake master cylinders, which influence automobile safety and parking reliability. As an important part of the automobile brake master cylinder, the compensation hole can play an important role in regulating the brake fluid in the reservoir tank and brake chamber, and its dimensional accuracy and processing quality are strictly controlled. Therefore, determining how to accurately obtain images of the compensation hole is a primary problem in the detection of compensation hole parameters. In this paper, fully automatic equipment for compensation hole detection in automobile brake master cylinders is designed using an image processing algorithm to realize the automatic positioning of the compensation hole and automatic detection of size parameters. Experiments show that the automatic positioning and detection time for the compensation hole is less than 8 s, the detection accuracy of the compensation hole size is higher than ±0.021 mm, and the position detection accuracy for the compensation hole is higher than ±0.045 mm. The compensation hole detection technology proposed in this paper provides high real-time performance and good robustness while meeting accuracy requirements and detection speed.
