ENHANCING SOCIAL SECURITY AMID ARMED CONFLICT: TOWARD LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR WORKERS FACING EMPLOYMENT LOSS

The significant impact of armed conflict on social conditions can be mitigated through the establishment of certain preventive measures to protect social security in cases of employment loss resulting from armed conflict. This study focuses on the social conditions arising from armed conflict and the national laws pertaining to worker social security in cases of employment loss, with a specific focus on Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, and Libya. Utilizing a doctrinal and socio-legal methodology, this article aims to provide insights for the development of preventive legal protections for workers facing employment loss in the aftermath of armed conflicts. The study reveals that social conditions are disrupted, leading to many workers losing their jobs without clear access to employment loss benefits due to the lack of legal certainty within national laws during armed conflict situations. Prior to the occurrence of armed conflict, national employment laws should clearly outline the conditions under which benefits can be accessed and how these benefits can be provided to affected workers, either within the conflict zone or in neighboring unaffected countries through institutional cooperation.

Unraveling the mystery of urban expansion in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: Exploring the crucial role of regional cooperation

Existing scholarship extensively explores the dynamics, determinants, and consequences of urban expansion, yet there is scant literature examining the impact of regional cooperation upon the directions and spatial forms of urban expansion amidst the fast-urbanizing process. This study focuses on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), a developed megacity-region in southern China, to probe whether the notable urban expansion observed in contemporary China has been profoundly influenced by collaborative efforts among jurisdictions. Through the spatial metrics and panel data regression spanning the period from 2010 to 2018, this study unveils that regional cooperation has extended from coastal cities towards hinterland cities within the GBA. Consequently, urban land in most cities has undergone expansion in diverse directions. Furthermore, in contrast to economic and social cooperation, regional institutional cooperation emerges as the most influential factor driving external urban expansion. Additionally, heterogeneous results reveal that regional cooperation drives the external expansion of ordinary cities towards core cities. In contrast, the inertia within the urban system demonstrates strong path dependence on the pattern of adjacent expansion, contrasting with the external expansion facilitated by regional cooperation. In summary, this study illuminates the genesis and dynamics of urban expansion amid the city-regionalization process, going beyond interpretations confined to the municipal scale.

ENHANCING THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC PROCUREMENT: A COMPREHENSIVE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR INDONESIA

The concept of “sustainable public procurement” has emerged worldwide. It instructs governments to prioritize sustainability throughout the procurement process in the economic, social, and environmental aspects. Such a concept is significant as the government has an enormous purchasing power to stimulate the market. Nonetheless, past empirical research indicates that in the context of Indonesia, the country has not addressed several vital issues on sustainable public procurement despite the worsening environmental degradation. There have been no specific guidelines and capacitybuilding system established for government officers. Therefore, this paper aims to discuss this problem from the perspective of law and suggest the necessary improvements in the legal framework, utilizing normative legal research methods focusing on the applicable laws. Through a comparative approach, using statutes and conceptual frameworks, this study examines the Indonesian current legal instruments governing sustainable public procurement. Several other countries will be used as exemplars of best practices. This research finds that the legal framework of sustainable public procurement in Indonesia is relatively inadequate compared to other countries, particularly regarding guidelines for implementation and institutional cooperation. In addition to its Presidential Regulation Number 12 of 2021, Indonesia should strengthen the planning, monitoring, and enforcement mechanisms through strategic overarching plans and further regulations to foster the effective implementation of a system of sustainable public procurement.

The Gulf Cooperation Council Legal Order, Institutions and Taxation

Tax scholars worldwide are understandably unfamiliar with the GCC legal framework and the GCC’s role in taxation. This is because the GCC’s main agreements and the organization itself do not classify legal acts into primary and secondary acts, define the scope of supremacy of GCC legal acts over GCC domestic laws, or illuminate the direct application or direct effects of GCC acts. Consequently, the classification and nature of the GCC’s tax laws and sources are unclear. This work is the first scholarly attempt to fill this gap. It also describes the main institutions of the GCC and the role played by each institution when enacting a tax act. This work briefly refers to the European Union and the United States when analysing the GCC legal framework in order to complement the European and American readers’ understanding.

The Future of the Civilization of the Ummah Is Reviewed from the Sociology of Education for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG'S)

Objective: The ancient Arab economy developed in the second half of the first millennium BC. Its glory peaked in the first century until the early second century AD, with trade routes to North Arabia and Syria. Nabataean kingdom in North Arabia was established, with two major cities as trading centers: Petra, and Palmyra. using the sociological perspective of education and commercialization theory, the ancient Arab economy has a mode of merchant capitalism. Theoretical Framework: Ancient Arab trading capitalism revived in the pre-Islamic Arab period, from the end of the fourth century AD. Mecca became the center of international trade, side by side with Yathrib and Taif. Two types of markets were born, the inner market and the outer market. New institutions related to culture, politics, and economy were established, including the division of labor institutions and institutions that regulate traders' interaction from inside and outside Makkah. Method: This research uses an interpretative paradigm with a qualitative approach, case study type, and multicase design. Data were collected using observation, interviews, and documentation. Data validity using triangulation of sources, methods, and theories. Next, an interactive model analysis is carried out. The research object was carried out in the Yogyakarta and Surakarta regions of Indonesia. Results and Discussion: Merchant capitalism during the early Islamic era underwent characteristic changes, similar to social capitalism. Referred to as Religious Capitalism, because its inspiration comes from religious teachings. The state regulates the market: the prohibition of exaggerating the quality of goods, bidding new prices, intercepting goods before they reach the market, hoarding goods, and silent trading. State revenues have also increased, including spoils of war, income from the agricultural and industrial sectors, kharaj, endowments, 'ushr, jizya, redemption money, loans, alms, and gifts. The state is involved in public affairs, for example by establishing the Diwan. Research Implications: The reconstruction of Islamic civilization should follow the model of Religious Capitalism, which is one of the main legacies of the early Islamic period. Social capitalism is also gaining momentum. Apart from that, a development model with a mode of peaceful revolution is also proposed: dialogue and cooperation with the dominant civilization. The geopolitics of the world are also shifting. Originality/Value: Three technical requirements are needed, namely political democracy, economic cooperation, and active participation in global institutions. The main attention is directed to the development of knowledge and science, with critical and conventional madzab models.

Monitoring the developmental trend and competitive landscape of natural gas hydrate through patent analysis.

Natural gas hydrate (NGH) is a significant alternative energy resource in achieving carbon neutrality. The developmental trend and competitive landscape of NGH exploitation and production are crucial for policymakers in government, managers of enterprises, and researchers. This study introduces a novel framework for conducting an in-depth analysis of NGH, integrating patentometrics, technology evolution, and correlation relationships to monitor developmental trends and competitive landscape through patent analysis. The results indicate that China, the USA, and Japan have distinct technology advantages. Current technological developments in the NGH field focus primarily on extraction technologies, equipment, and processing systems. The co-opetition analysis among countries reveals that the most extensive international cooperation network is primarily in Europe and the USA, with national partnerships in Asia concentrated in China and Japan. Institutional cooperation remains limited, primarily within universities in China, while both the USA and Japan foster collaboration between enterprises. The competitive landscapes of key NGH-related technologies among countries and institutions are also examined. This study contributes not only to monitoring the developmental trend and competitive landscape in NGH but also to providing policy recommendations for government and enterprises regarding strategic management and collaborative innovation.

From building energy modeling to urban building energy modeling: A review of recent research trend and simulation tools

Initiatives aimed at retrofitting the existing buildings stock and constructing Zero Carbon Community (ZCC) have been recognized as highly effective measures for reaching the zero emission carbon goals set by the EU Commission by 2050. The Building Energy Modeling approach focuses only on typical individual building and it is hardly suitable for assessing the performance and the mutual interaction of a group of interconnected buildings In this case the application of Urban Building Energy Modeling (UBEM) is required. Research on UBEM constitutes the foundation for reducing the energy needs of the built environment; however, there is currently a lack of knowledge on UBEM concept, workflow and related simulation tools. This paper has twofold objectives; first presents an in-depth bibliometric analysis, through CiteSpace, to analyze the developmental trajectory of emerging simulation UBEM method. The analysis encompasses the distribution of authors collaborations, geographic and institutional cooperation in publications and research hotspots. Based on this, the paper summarizes the development trends and potential directions for research in the UBEM field. Furthermore, as a second objective, the paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the main UBEM tools with focus on the input and output data, simulation engine and data workflow. The final scope of this study is to offer to urban planners and policymakers a comprehensive framework as a starting point for approaching zero-carbon communities’ from both the concepts and the simulations analysis point of view.

Instant TV. The Forgotten History of Video Tape Recording (and the Coverage of the Eichmann Trial)

This article adopts a media archaeological approach to the Eichmann trial (1961) to explore the technology and media constellations that enabled its global television coverage. Drawing on extensive archival research, it offers insights into the technological setup and institutional cooperation crucial for the broadcast. In this context, video tape recording played a pivotal role, facilitating instantaneous reporting from around the world. Informed by actor-network theory, the article highlights the interplay of different (non)human actors who were interested and enrolled in a short-lived actor-network that soon became obsolete with the advent of communication satellites. Through recounting the story of the trial coverage, it not only recalls the forgotten use of a technology but also sheds light on emerging television formats and infrastructures that persisted far beyond the brief prominence of Instant TV.

The Impact of Japan's Cultural Diplomacy on the Construction of Japan's Traditional Cultural Soft Power

After World War II, Japan improved its national image and soft power through a series of cultural diplomacy tools. Cultural diplomacy aims to enhance understanding and friendship among the peoples of different countries through culture-related means of external communication. Soft power, on the other hand, refers to the third aspect of a country's strength, in addition to economic and military power. Japan's cultural diplomacy has a profound impact on the construction of its traditional cultural soft power. This article adopts a longitudinal single-case study approach to sort out Japan's traditional culture, including cultural heritage, traditional skills, spiritual culture, and national character. The article finds that Japan has enhanced its goodwill towards Japan in Europe, America and Southeast Asia through its active participation in international co-operation, reform and strategic positioning of government institutions, development of tourism, cultural and artistic exchanges, and promotion of celebrity masterpieces. This suggests that the building of Japan's traditional cultural soft power can be translated into favorable feelings towards Japan among people in other countries. However, the inherent closedness of traditional culture and history-related traditional culture are the obstacles that need to be overcome in the construction of Japan's traditional cultural soft power.
