Greening the UAE workforce: Can green human resource management and domestic environmental regulations support green innovation at the workplace?

This study aimed to investigate how legal regulations mediated the relationship between green human resource management (GHRM) practices and innovation in organizations. It assessed the impact of GHRM on employees’ commitment to environmental sustainability through training and communication. Additionally, the study examined how employees’ environmental values influenced their innovative behavior within the organizational context. The study used structural equation modeling and multigroup analysis. A survey was conducted among 246 employees aged 20-59 years and employed in transportation (Etihad Airways and Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority), tourism (Burj Khalifa, Jumeirah Group, Sheraton, and Hilton), energy and utilities (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Masdar City, and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company), development (Department of Urban Planning and Municipalities, Research Technology and Innovation Parks, and National Health Authority), and agriculture (Agthia Group, Badia Farms, Al Dahra, and Al Rawabi) sectors. GHRM practices significantly affected employees’ attitudes and behaviors, fostering their engagement in sustainability initiatives. Environmentally conscious employees favored creative and sustainable work practices. Domestic legal regulations and organizational practices enhanced the innovative response. Moreover, younger pro-environmentalist employees demonstrated increased receptivity to GHRM practices compared to older employees. In conclusion, GHRM contributed to economic diversification in the UAE by fostering a workforce skilled in sustainable practices, attracting talent to support emerging industries, aligning with economic reforms, and enhancing the overall reputation of the country as a hub for sustainable and diversified economic activities.

Practical Questions for Securing Nucleic Acid Synthesis.

Affordable and accurate nucleic acid synthesis is foundational to modern biotechnology, but raises security concerns because it facilitates the construction of pathogens and other potentially dangerous biological agents. Nucleic acid synthesis screening can reduce the risk of providing potentially harmful nucleic acids to those without a legitimate use for them. Governments, industry associations, and biosecurity organizations have offered guidance on synthesis screening for a decade, and are now considering how to translate industry best practices into regulatory frameworks. A review of existing guidance documents, policy proposals, and other published literature was performed. We distinguish five categories of practical questions for policymakers: challenges associated with customer screening, sequence screening, the interaction between domestic and global regulations, commercial implications of screening, and finally, challenges associated with benchtop nucleic acid synthesis devices. There are a number of recommendations in public literature that target the implementation of robust customer and sequence screening, several of which have been incorporated into the recent United States White House Executive Order on artificial intelligence. There appears to be fewer solutions proposed to address challenges associated with the global screening landscape, or the commercial implications of screening requirements, and limited discussion on securing the benchtop synthesis landscape. This paper aims at providing a comprehensive resource for policymakers, outlining a set of questions governments, and other stakeholders, must answer when implementing screening requirements to secure nucleic acid synthesis.

Constitutional Rights and Obligations of Citizens Towards the Environment Under the Conditions of Sustainable Development

Abstract The aim of this article is to determine the status of citizen’s rights to ‘a clean environment’ and their obligations towards the environment under sustainable development conditions, considering international and domestic regulations. It analyses three interlinked aspects: human rights to a clean environment, obligations of citizens and public authorities towards the environment, and environmental protection in accordance with the principle of sustainable development. Human rights to ‘a clean environment’ are enshrined in the Constitution, drawing on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Rio de Janeiro ‘Environment and Development’ Declaration. These rights are implemented by public authorities through ensuring ecological safety and the use and protection of environmental resources, adhering to the sustainable development principle. In addition every citizen has obligations towards the environment, because he should take care of environmental resources and use them in accordance with the principles of environmental protection law. The analysis of legal doctrine and legislation highlights a clear relationship between the necessity for public authorities to ensure constitutional rights to a ‘clean environment’ and their obligations towards the environment through the protection of environmental resources in line with the sustainable development principle. This entails balancing the human right to a ‘clean environment’ against the environmental right to the continuity and sustainability of resources (natural balance), while also ensuring economic growth. An example of these principles in action is Agenda 2030, currently being implemented in Poland and other EU Member States.

Правовое регулирование отношений в области культуры как фактор реинтеграции Крымского полуострова в состав России

This study is devoted to issues related to the legal prerequisites for the reintegration of the population of the Crimean peninsula into Russia. The legislation of Ukraine, despite its significant similarity with domestic legal regulation, has norms that contribute to the fact that people who are closer to the Russian world are increasingly inclined to no longer be under the jurisdiction of this state. Reintegration in this article means the return of the territory to the socio-humanitarian field of the country in which they were previously located.

Implementation of International Law on the Protection of Wetlands in the Legislation of the Republic of Iraq

INTRODUCTION. The swamps of Iraq are of great ecological, historical and cultural significance, however, a number of political, economic and anthropogenic reasons have caused the problem of draining the swamps, which negatively affects the economy and social sphere of the Republic of Iraq. The purpose of the article is to identify and scientifically analyze problematic issues of determining the status of Iraq's swamps as protected natural areas, within the framework of Iraq's implementation of international norms on the protection of wetlands.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The research materials included international conventions and other sources of international environmental law, documents of the UN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, acts of the government and ministries of Iraq and others. To reveal the theoretical aspects of the issues under consideration, a system-structural approach, generalization, deduction, methods of scientific abstraction, logical and system analysis were used. Special research methods were also used: historical-legal, comparative-legal and formal-legal.RESEARCH RESULTS. As part of this publication, the authors analyzed the problems of the legal status of wetlands in Iraq, identified shortcomings in domestic legal regulation and ways to further implement international norms on the protection of wetlands.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. Based on the results of the study, it was established that the international community and the government of Iraq are taking measures to protect the swamps and determine their status as protected natural areas. Proposals for further implementation by the Republic of Iraq of international norms on the protection of wetlands in its legal and institutional components are substantiated.

The Living Wonders case: A Backwards Step in Australian Climate Litigation on Coal Mines

Abstract As one of the world’s largest exporters of coal and gas, Australia’s domestic regulation of fossil fuels plays an important part in global greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts. This analysis examines the Australian Federal Court’s Living Wonders decision—the latest judicial review challenge to coal mines based on Australia’s federal environmental law, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).1 This legislation has significant flaws as a tool for regulating the climate impacts of fossil fuel projects, which the Living Wonders decision emphasises. The Federal Court found no legal error in the Environment Minister’s reasoning that large export-oriented coal mines will produce ‘no net increase’ in global emissions and/or have emissions which are too ‘small’ to warrant detailed assessment under the EPBC Act. The Living Wonders judgment delivers a blow to hopes for progressive, climate-friendly interpretation of Australia’s federal law in coal litigation and strengthens arguments for law reform.

LABOR LAW IMPLICATIONS ON MIGRANT WORKERS IN THAILAND AND CAMBODIA

Purpose: Employment is the basic right of the citizens, migrants, refugees and all other kinds of residents throughout the globe. International laws, economic zonation, domestic regulations, ordinances and regional policies require timely reviewing and revising to provide fair opportunity to all. However, the scenarios take an adverse turn when disaster strikes. The government, legal system and department framework work in close collaboration to ensure sustainability of the citizens. Theoretical Framework: Thailand has been struggling amid various disasters in the past while maintaining standards of employment through labor laws. However, the literature shows several gaps in the existing labor law which inversely impact upon the migrant workers in Thailand. Methods: The methodology adopted for this study is qualitative methods with data collections tools including the secondary data through the online published resources. The research follows an exploratory approach towards the documentary research method to ensure the inferences among the collected data. Findings: The results depict inadequacies in the existing labor law in Thailand, with reduced rights during the disasters. These adversely impact the implemented laws such as minimum wages, equal opportunities to work, supportive assistance from the governmental channels and professional growth and development of the individuals. Practical Implications: Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) being the majority sector providing jobs for both domestic and foreign population requires them to be equipped with robust labor laws. Originality/Value: The study further provides for growth and sustainable development of the ASEAN region as Thailand is the central hub providing job and growth opportunities for all the member nations.

Value chains of selected products as elements of sustainability of agricultural production

The value chain concept is often used in the analysis of agricultural competitiveness. Its application seeks ways and activities that add value to products. The focus is on finding opportunities for efficient monitoring of modern trends, challenges and business risk assessment in order to sustainably produce processing and marketing of agri-food products. The production of fruits and vegetables by small producers is characterized by short chains from production to product placement, without adding value. There are numerous critical points in the analyzed chains, such as quality of input, processing, drying and storage of products, lack of training and financial resources for storage and preservation of products after harvest. The link between primary production and the processing industry should ensure stability for primary producers in terms of the market, and entities in the processing industry for continuity in the supply of raw materials of domestic origin. In order to improve product value chains, and thus the competitiveness of the national agri-food sector, it is necessary to improve productivity in primary production, horizontal and vertical integration, as well as additional investments in processing capacities. The key areas in the legislation and its implementation in order to improve the value chain of livestock products are: animal husbandry, hygiene on farms and in meat processing plants, as well as environmental protection. These are some of the priorities that should create the conditions for the possibility of exporting live animals, meat and meat products to the EU. Improving the milk value chain would contribute to better efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability of production, milk quality, especially in microbiological terms (reduction of the number of bacteria and somatic cells). Conditions should be created for the adoption of good agricultural practice, adaptation to market requirements, reaching standards in the field of animal welfare and health, improving the genetic potential of animals for milk production, hygiene and environmental protection. Quality is an important factor in competitiveness and sustainable agricultural production. As the main elements of the quality management system and adding value to products, the appropriate standards are applied: ISO 9000, HACCP, GMP, ISO 22000, ISO 14000, HALAL standard, Kosher standard, BRC standard, GOST-R standard, Demeter, GLOBAL GAP, IFS standard . In order to overcome and solve environmental problems of agricultural development, more and more importance is attached to the application of animal protection policy measures. Domestic and international standards and regulations for environmental management ISO 14001 are applied, including the EU Environmental Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). Genetic potentials and biological diversification are important for the development and sustainability of agricultural production. The richness of flora and fauna, genetic resources and great biological diversity constitute natural comparative advantages in every respect, especially for sustainable agricultural production and environmental protection.

Informational Determinants of Violence Against Person and the Preventive Function of Law

The paper analyzes the problems of legal regulation of the circulation of information justifying violence against person. The urgency of the problem and the need to resolve it as a matter of priority are substantiated. Special attention is paid to the conceptual apparatus used by the legislator and issues of responsibility. There is an unjustified variety of terms contained in relevant normative legal acts («appeals», «propaganda», «justification», «advocating», «incitement»), as well as the lack of a uniform understanding of violence in law enforcement practice. The author critically analyzes the sociocentrism of the legislator’s approach to responsibility for the propaganda of violence, as a result of which the security of the individual seems to the law enforcement officer to be less significant in comparison with the security of a social group. The author compares domestic and foreign regulation of the considered sphere of public relations. The conclusion is made about the need for a systematic approach to solve the problem, inter-sectoral improvement of Russian legislation. Such improvement should result in recognition of the propaganda of violence against person as no less dangerous than the propaganda of politically, ideologically and religiously motivated violence.

Responses of China's cross-border investors to domestic environmental regulations

Environmental regulations have been widely imposed to foster the development of a green and sustainable economy. However, how cross-border investors respond to domestic environmental regulations (DERs) has not been well studied. This paper examines how firms respond to DERs by focusing on the effects on outward direct investment (ODI) and productivity, using the data of Chinese listed companies during 2012–2018. The regression results support that DERs significantly boost ODI through encouraging firms to transfer production to countries with less stringent environmental regulations, acquiring advanced technologies from developed economies, and increasing research and development (R&D) expenditures. The latter two responses also contribute significantly to firms' productivity improvement while the first cannot. We conduct a series of heterogeneity analyses and find that firms with high financing constraints, non-state-owned firms and high-polluting firms facing stringent DERs tend to opt for the first response. Our study sheds light on how Chinese firms navigate DERs and the diverse strategies they employ to respond to these regulatory pressures.

Stringent sustainability regulations for global supply chains are supported across middle-income democracies

Expanded international trade and globalised production networks are increasing the environmental and social impacts in middle-income countries (GNI per capita $1,136-$13,845). High-income countries (>$13,845) are seeking to mitigate the negative impacts of domestic consumption by imposing new sustainability regulations on global supply chains. Recent evidence suggests that these regulations are broadly supported across high-income countries. However, it remains unclear whether citizens of middle-income countries support aligning domestic sustainability regulations with the measures developed by high-income countries. Concerns about economic competitiveness and foreign imposition could increase public resistance toward such alignment. Alternatively, desires for continued market access in high-income countries and aspirations for strengthening local environmental and labour regulations could foster support for alignment. Based on survey-embedded experiments in the three largest democratic non-OECD economies (Brazil, India, Indonesia), we find surprisingly strong support for domestic-based measures that are aligned with emerging global supply chain sustainability regulations. Our findings suggest that support is largely driven by positive impact expectations, where the future benefits of alignment are perceived as outweighing concerns about increased costs. These results bode well for initiatives to install stricter sustainability regulations for global supply chains that are acceptable not only in high-income economies but also in non-OECD countries.

Facilitating Services Trade Through the Adoption of Good Regulatory Practices: The New Reference Paper on Services Domestic Regulation

The agreement by sixty-nine WTO Members on a set of disciplines on the transparency, predictability, and efficiency of services regulation - otherwise known as the ‘Reference Paper on Services Domestic Regulation’ - marks the first negotiated outcome in the field of services trade since the extended negotiations on basic telecommunications and financial services in 1997. The outcome illustrates, on the one hand, the challenge of arriving at multilaterally agreed results in the WTO even for substantively non-controversial issues. On the other hand, it is testament to the ability of large groups of like-minded WTO Members to cooperate and deliver without political linkages with other negotiating issues. This contribution aims to provide an overview of the evolution of negotiations on domestic regulation at the WTO, and elaborates on how the main features of the new Reference Paper complement and build upon regulatory disciplines contained in the GATS. While not yet legally into force, recent evidence suggests that the new Reference Paper will become a standard building block for future economic cooperation agreements and its implementation is expected to generate broad economic benefits. services domestic regulation, WTO, Joint Initiative, preferential trade agreements, economic benefits, good regulatory practices

CPTPP投资准入自由化条款研究

CPTPP Investment Access Liberalization Provisions mainly consist of the provisions of investment access treatment, the prohibition of performance requirements and the nationality requirements of senior managers. Compared with other FTAs, CPTPP can be called “comprehensive and progressive” high-standard investment access liberalization rules. The provisions feature wide application scope, detailed content and strict standards. Considering that China has formally applied to join the CPTPP, which will contribute to improving the overall level of investment access liberalization in China. These provisions are consistent with China's development goals of expanding the degree of opening up and deepening domestic reform and also provide new opportunities for China's domestic reform. But at the same time, it also brings new challenges for China to further open up the investment market, shorten the content of the negative list and upgrade the relevant domestic laws and regulations in the field of investment access liberalization. In order to meet the challenges brought by China's accession to the CPTPP, China shall make appropriate responses. First, improving domestic regulations and foreign investment negative list in the field of investment by increasing the transparency and legal certainty of the foreign investment security review system and drawing up the negative list for foreign investment access through referring to the negative lists of CPTPP members and subdividing the specific behaviours and activities of different industries and fields. Second, carrying out the pilot of high-standard opening up in the FTZs further by fully incorporating the high-standard provisions in the field of CPTPP investment access liberalization into the relevant rules of the FTZs and extending the scope of application of the negative list to indirect investment. Third, strengthening international cooperation in the field of investment access liberalization and actively promoting deeper cooperation with other countries. All those responses may minimize the resistance of China’s joining the CPTPP.

International regulation of tourist activities of China as a basis for the application of experience for the domestic economy

higher rate than the economy of the People's Republic of China in general is tourism. Thanks to the tourism industry, China has overcome poverty. Due to its geographical and geopolitical position and natural conditions, China has excellent opportunities to develop various types of tourism. International tourism is a critical mechanism for integrating China's economy into the world economy. Given China's scale of development, which is among the world leaders, domestic tourism plays an increasingly important role in the country's economy. All this makes studying specific features of tourism development in China very relevant. China sets domestic and international standards and regulations to regulate the tourism industry. The legislation includes safety and quality of service rules, visa requirements, and measures to preserve natural and cultural resources. China is a member of international tourism organizations such as the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), a component of sharing experiences and implementing international standards. Participation in such organizations allows China to interact with other countries, share experiences, and participate in defined international standards. China considers international standards and best practices in the field to raise the quality of services and ensure the safety and comfort of tourists. China is actively developing both domestic and international tourism. This gives the company the desire to develop its tourism resources and attract the attention of foreign visitors. China implements measures to control and standardize tourism activities through licensing and other mechanisms. This is aimed at ensuring the quality and safety of tourist services. China's tourism development strategy also promotes the inclusion of cultural exchange through tourism, which promotes mutual understanding and the development of diplomatic relations. Given the importance of environmental sustainability, China considers measures to preserve natural resources and places. China can regulate the visa regime for foreign tourists, changing the requirements and conditions of the visit according to its strategic and security interests. China actively offers its tourist attractions at the international level, helping to attract foreign tourists. In connection with global challenges such as the pandemic, China considers international standards for the safety and health of tourists by implementing appropriate measures and protocols. China can develop and maintain bilateral and multilateral ties with other countries to jointly implement tourism projects and exchange cultural experiences. In general, China's international tourism regulation emphasizes the country's desire to ensure stable, safe, and sustainable tourism development, promoting both domestic and international tourism. Considering these aspects, China is interested in cooperating with the international community and complying with international standards to improve the competitiveness of its tourism sector and ensure the satisfaction and safety of tourists. Keywords: tourism, China, international regulation, poverty alleviation, domestic and foreign tourism.

External Europeanization through timber trade agreements: Tracing causality in environmental governance reform

The business models of tropical timber production have long been configured around illegal practices that cause environmental degradation and hinder socioeconomic progress in the Global South. However, the global corporations trading timber often point to regulatory governance weaknesses in the jurisdictions where they source timber as hindering efforts to address illegalities in their supply chains. In an innovative response, the European Union (EU) combines mandatory due diligence for timber imports – the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR) – with EU Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Voluntary Partnership trade Agreements (VPAs) that offer finance, technology transfer, and capacity building to support domestic regulation in timber exporting countries. Through process tracing, we assess the extent to which the EU's efforts have been effective in reforming domestic environmental governance to reduce illegal logging in Cameroon and Ghana. This allows for understanding the potential of external Europeanization, a theoretical approach explaining how and why countries (and the businesses they regulate) outside of the EU might adapt their domestic governance institutions and processes to EU rules and norms. As the EU considers similar approaches to regulate forest-related illegalities and deforestation in global agricultural supply chains, it is important to take stock of past and on-going policy efforts. We find that the causal mechanisms embedded in FLEGT have lost their transformative potential due to unfinished domestic reforms, the technocracy of supply chain traceability systems, and market leakage. Our findings suggest the VPA deliberations underpinning supply-side efforts have not shifted the power balance but rather distracted from the reality that there will be winners and losers as the countries shift toward a more transparent and accountable political economy.

Liver Transplantation from Brain-Dead Donors with Hepatitis B or C in South Korea: A 2014-2020 Korean Organ Transplantation Registry Data Analysis.

BACKGROUND According to the current guidelines for liver transplantation (LT) of brain-dead donors with hepatitis B or C virus (HBV or HCV) in Korea, grafts from hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)(+) or HCV antibody (anti-HCV)(+) donors must be transplanted only to HBsAg(+) or anti-HCV(+) recipients, respectively. We aimed to determine the current status and outcomes of brain-dead donor LT with HBV or HCV in Korea. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective observational study included all LTs from brain-dead donors in the Korean Organ Transplantation Registry between April 2014 and December 2020. According to donor hepatitis status, 24 HBV(+), 1 HCV(+), and 1010 HBV(-)/HCV(-) donors were included. RESULTS Baseline/final model for end-stage liver disease score (MELD) for HBV(+), HCV(+), and HBV(-)/HCV(-) were 22.4±9.3/27.8±7.8, 16/11, and 33.0±15.4/35.5±7.1, respectively. MELD score of HBV (+) were lower than those of HBV(-)/HCV(-) (P<0.01). Five-year graft and patient survival rates of HBV(+) and HBV(-)/HCV(-) recipients were 81.7%/85.6%, and 76.6%/76.7%, respectively (P=0.73 and P=0.038). One-year graft and patient survival rates of HCV (+) graft recipients were both 100%. CONCLUSIONS No differences in graft and patient survival rates between HBV(+) and HBV(-)/HCV(-) groups were observed. Although accumulating the results of transplants from HBV (+) or HCV(+) grafts to HBV(-) or HCV(-) recipients is not possible owing to domestic regulations, Korea should conditionally permit transplantations from HBV(+) or HCV(+) grafts to HBV(-) or HCV(-) recipients by considering the risks and benefits based on foreign studies. Thereafter, we can accumulate the data from Korea and analyze the outcomes.

Learning and teaching amidst and beyond the covid-19 pandemic: sustaining and enhancing students’ solidarity

This research aims to explore the issues of learning and teaching online at Russian universities, including during the COVID-19 outbreak. With movement and contacts restricted, all full-time students and all educators had to master new technologies in a very short term, develop special course layouts for remote teaching mode, and cope with the motivational challenges. The methods include but are not limited to content analysis of media publications, domestic regulations, and local normative documents. The concepts of macro-social and group (particularistic) solidarity together with the methodological position of the interplay between solidarity, autonomy, and agency, constitute the original theoretical ground of the research. Comparing in-person, blended, and complete virtual learning modes during COVID-19, the study discusses teachers' work overload, students' acceptance of distant modes of education, and their solidarity when interacting with university administrations and governments. The paper provides a meta-analysis by exploring the impacts of digital transformation and the Covid-2019 outbreak on justice, transparency, agency, and solidarity at universities. The findings show challenges and ways of self-realization of students and teachers in complex socio-economic, psychological, and educational conditions and are of decisive importance for teachers who develop and conduct philosophical disciplines online. Showing systemic shortcomings of the regional educational system, the paper raises our awareness of how emergency situation, political and managerial measures interact with challenges and coping practices of educational and non-educational actors.

ESG agenda in the context of economic security of agricultural enterprises

The article discusses the concept of sustainable development and ESG principles in relation to enterprises of the agro-industrial complex (hereinafter referred to as the agro-industrial complex). Sustainable development has become one of the main trends, as the world community understands that economic growth is closely related to the solution of environmental, climate, and social issues. It underlies the assessment of an organization's non-financial performance, taking into account the fact that investors and other stakeholders are increasingly paying attention to the compliance of economic entities with ESG principles, i.e. responsible attitude towards the environment, creating favorable social conditions, ensuring high quality corporate governance. The authors of the work carried out a critical analysis of international and domestic regulations on the topic of research, and formed, based on industry characteristics, a list and content of indicators for the sustainable development of agricultural enterprises. When preparing public non-financial reporting, they can be additional to the legally established basic indicators, and they can be used in the development of industry standards for the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex.
