Nowhere else in the world? The Korean Safe Rates System in global context

Abstract The Korean ‘Safe Trucking Freight Rates System’ (‘Safe Rates System’) was an important effort to address road safety risks by regulating road transport supply chains. In effect between 2020 and 2022, the system set minimum standards for truck driver pay and placed obligations on road transport supply chain parties to comply with these standards. In this article, we explain how the system developed in response to the deregulation and restructuring of the road freight market in the late 1980s and 1990s. We also trace the influence on the system of regulatory development in Australia and debates at the International Labour Organization (ILO). In 2019, workers, employers, and government representatives at the ILO reached an agreement on the main principles of the Safe Rates regulatory model through the adoption of the Guidelines on the promotion of decent work and road safety in the transport sector. We use these principles to explain and evaluate the Korean system. We also summarise assessments of the system’s impact, arguing that the results of the few studies that exist, justify the continuation of the system. By locating Korean Safe Rates as part of a broader global trend, we respond to opponents’ claims that the system is without international precedent and make the system eligible for a global audience. In so doing, we seek to contribute to the ongoing debate about the reintroduction of Safe Rates in Korea and draw lessons from the Korean experience that may be used in other countries.

A scoping review of food consumer aspects in transitioning to a safe and just agrifood system

Abstract The agrifood system holds the key to identifying potential transformative pathways to achieve prosperity for all within the limits of the planet's natural resources, thereby fostering a safe and just operating system (SJOS) for future generations. The agrifood system is currently not on the right track to meet this ambition. Food-consumer processes such as preference shifts toward healthy diets and substantial reductions in food losses and waste could help to avoid severe environmental degradation and decrease overall mortality, although it remains unclear whether such transitional developments are entirely compatible with socially responsible thresholds. In this paper, we conduct a scoping review approach to map the evidence on the underlying drivers of such demand-side processes in the context of a SJOS with the aim to provide insights on how to transform the EU agrifood system. This review specifically examines how consumer aspects influence the SJOS, rather than exploring the bidirectional relationship. We used a scoping review approach to select relevant studies. The selected papers were subjected to quantitative and qualitative analyses. As a result, we extract insights and draw lessons from the role of food-consumer processes in the transition toward a more SJOS for the agrifood system.

Doing Theology by Listening to Marginalized Voices? Methodological Elements from Encountering Indigenous Families in a Northern Canadian Community

Based on the experience of encountering Indigenous families in a northern Canadian community, this article draws methodological elements for doing theology by listening to people who suffer marginalization. Firstly, I situate listening to marginalized voices as an act of receiving Vatican II and a way of putting into practice Pope Francis’s call for a church that goes out to be evangelized on a path of encounter and dialogue. Secondly, I question the terminology used in referring to those who are marginalized and revisit the centre-periphery paradigm from a theological perspective, in favour of the disruptive movement of bringing the peripheries to the centre, in resonance with Matthew 25. Finally, I draw lessons from the experience of listening to Indigenous families in the Canadian north, on the journey towards a theology that listens to the voice of God in those who are marginalized.

Re-conceptualising the Theory of Justice and the Needs of Victims of Sexual Violence in Nigeria: an Appraisal of a Victim Centered Approach

Abstract Background In the 21st century, the recognition of the rights and needs of victims of sexual violence has emerged as a fundamental discourse within international, regional, and local policy agendas. This has been influenced by the lasting psychological, emotional, and physical effects of sexual violence on the victims. These commentaries and agitation have spurred the need for alternative ways in which the Nigerian criminal justice system can be strengthened by incorporating criminal justice mechanisms and interventions that would enhance the needs and interests of victims in accessing justice despite its adversarial system of justice. Methods This study aims to appraise the different mechanisms of justice, needs, and interests of victims of sexual violence through a theoretical lens and drawing lessons from South Africa and Australia. To achieve this work, a doctrinal research methodology that utilized existing literature and secondary sources such as textbooks and online websites was adopted. Results The study found that there is a need for accountability for the protection of victims, implementation of legislation, and scaling up of resources for effective support services. In addition, the absence of resources, effective monitoring and compliance institutions, monitoring reports, specialized courts, and special regulations hampers the implementation of a victim-centered approach. Among others, the study recommends an all-inclusive criminal justice mechanism that would further incorporate a victim-centered approach towards advancing the rights and quality of justice for victims of Sexual Violence and the need for a victim impact statement to our criminal justice system for cases of sexual violence. Conclusion The study concludes that there is a need to make provisions for more effective alternative responses to incorporate the justice interests and needs of victims of sexual violence.

5.I. Scientific session: Epidemiological insights into vaccine hesitancy in Europe: building bridges and overcoming barriers

Abstract Vaccine hesitancy remains a pivotal challenge in public health, undermining immunization efforts and the containment of infectious diseases across Europe. This scientific session aims to dissect the complex nature of vaccine hesitancy, uncovering epidemiological trends and barriers to vaccine acceptance, particularly in diverse demographic contexts. The objective is to facilitate a comprehensive understanding among public health stakeholders and to foster actionable strategies through enriched dialogue and interaction. This session will delve into recent studies and projects that highlight the variability of vaccine hesitancy within Europe. First, an exploration of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance will reveal how sociodemographic factors influence vaccine-related behaviors across 20 European nations. This will be complemented by an analysis of targeted interventions designed to enhance vaccine uptake among migrant populations, drawing lessons from the RIVER-EU project. Additionally, a focus on national efforts to combat measles vaccine hesitancy will provide a case study on the challenges and successes in altering public health narratives. Based on the feedback received on last year’s session, the format is intended not only to provide a platform to present empirical evidence and insights but also to encourage a participatory environment where attendees can exchange ideas and propose innovative solutions. For this reason, the session will engage the audience through an interactive discussion period at the end of each of the three presentations, stimulating thought-provoking dialogues that could lead to effective and innovative public health practices. Fostering international and interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of vaccine hesitancy is key for continued monitoring and reporting on the vaccine hesitancy phenomenon and inspiring actionable solutions. Key messages • Sociodemographic factors are associated with vaccine hesitancy across Europe indicating the potential for targeted strategies. • A platform to share insights and inspire actionable public health solutions to combat vaccine hesitancy amomg European public health professionals is needed.

Different approaches to regulate digital health applications in seven European countries

Abstract Background Demographic ageing, shortages in health workforce and increased use of digital tools in daily life kindle decision makers’ interest to utilize digital health applications (DHA). While there are several reviews that provide an overview across remuneration frameworks, no synthesis between additional regulatory aspects and frequency of remuneration approval has been conducted. Methods European countries with either strong status in digital health in general or regulation for health apps in particular were chosen for analysis (BE, DK, DE, EE, EN, FR, NL). Country specific information was collected from scientific and grey literature, legal and stakeholder webpages. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with country experts via video call or e-mail and analyzed using Mayring’s structured, qualitative content analysis. Preliminary results We find three approaches concerning DHT-definitions: For BE, DE, FR, specific regulations define national remuneration requirements. EN and NL define only minimum requirements while decentralized payors make financing decisions. DK and EE fit DHTs into existing financing schemes. Among countries with a national financing framework, DE achieved the largest number of approvals, followed by FR, while BE has not yet issued a (lasting) financing approval. Evaluation requirements focus on clinical and economic outcomes, largely ignoring non-clinical improvements for patients. Conclusions The German regulation stands out with a peculiar definition that might help clarify evaluation criteria, increase the number of financing approvals but also empower patients while reducing the role of health workforce in their application. BE and NL regulations necessitate involvement of health workers, thus addressing structurally different applications. Key messages • Drawing lessons for DHT regulations across countries needs to address differences in national definitions and evaluation criteria. • A standardization system for DHT may help to speed utilization of effective tools and clarify evaluation requirements.

From “Big White” army to White Paper Protests: China’s gendered pandemic war and feminist interventions

ABSTRACT In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many nation-states adopted militarized measures for rapid containment. China notably implemented extreme and enduring war-like procedures. This study aims to explore the implications of securitizing the pandemic through a feminist lens and suggest ethical and equitable strategies for understanding emergencies and coping with future crises. Employing discourse-based online ethnography, it analyzes social dynamics in China’s “pandemic war,” examining how gender and (in)security are co-constructed and the role of feminist activism within an authoritarian context. This article argues that framing the pandemic as war reinforces a masculinist stance of dominance, prioritizing state stability over human rights and security. State-centric securitization perpetuates state authority, gendered social hierarchies, and structural violence. The exclusionary nature of this approach created new avenues for feminist activism, both online and offline, advocating for marginalized groups, raising social and gender awareness, challenging state narratives, and fostering collective resistance. Drawing lessons from Chinese feminist initiatives during COVID-19, this study calls for alternative crisis responses focused on care, equity, ethics, and collaboration.

It also discusses the potential for pandemics and the development of new antiviral vaccines and therapies, drawing lessons from past outbreaks to inform future strategies for managing viral threats.

Ecological Construction of China's Music Industry from the Perspective of Cultural Economy

As an important part of culture economy, the Chinese music industry has shown a steady growth trend from the supply side, consumption side, and channel side, but there are still some structural contradictions, weak links and problems. With draw lessons from international advanced experience, this paper considers that the healthy and vigorous development of the music industry of China requires the protection of intellectual property rights, the support of financial and tax policies, the cultivation of professional talents, the forging of the industrial chain, and the encouragement of the "going global" of the music industry. This paper believes that the pursuit of spiritual life by humans is endless, the world music industry has shown great market potential and bright growth prospects.

The impact of socialisation services in the whole process of agricultural production on food security—quasi-natural experimental evidence from China

Food security (FS) is an important guarantee for world peace and development and the basis for building a community of human destiny, which has a bearing on the sustainable development and future destiny of humankind. This study empirically analysis the relationship between socialisation services in the whole process of agricultural production (ASS) and guaranteeing FS, as well as the path of their role, using provincial panel data from 2010 to 2022 in China as an example, using the double-difference method. The regression results show that ASS can have the ability to contribute to the level of FS, and the conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. The results of the heterogeneity analysis show that the role of ASS in guaranteeing FS receives the influence of the level of agricultural development in each region, while it plays a greater role in the main food-producing areas. The mechanism analysis analyses the mechanism of the role of ASS in the whole process of agricultural production in guaranteeing FS from the three links of pre-production, mid-production and post-production respectively, and finds that ASS in the whole process of agricultural production is able to guarantee FS by reducing the cost of purchasing means of production in the pre-production stage, fostering a new type of agricultural management main body in the mid-production stage, and increasing the income of farmers’ household management in the post-production stage. Based on the above findings, this study proposes corresponding policy recommendations. This study can provide insights for ensuring world FS and contribute to maintaining social stability and development. The conclusions of the study are universally applicable, and all countries in the world can benefit from and draw lessons from it.

Research on Strengthening China's Economic Losses from Ship Oil Pollution Based on Compensation Mechanisms

The oil pollution compensation system in China was established late, and the design of the legal system is not perfect, which exposes many problems in the practice of claim settlement. This paper analyzes the present situation and problems of compensation mechanism for oil pollution damage from ships in China, and draws lessons from the legislative experience of Canada and the United States, and puts forward some suggestions for improvement. The specific contents include the legislative status and existing problems of compensation for oil pollution damage from ships in China, the relevant legislative status of representative countries, the comparison of three major international compensation systems, and the legislative choice and specific system suggestions of China. By using the method of literature analysis, this paper systematically analyzes the legislative status, advantages and disadvantages of compensation for oil pollution damage from ships in various countries through the study of relevant legal documents and practical cases at home and abroad. Through comparative study and drawing lessons from international experience, it is suggested that China adopt a dual-track compensation mechanism.

Preparing for pandemics needs a dose of public health and a booster of “complex thought” (Errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum)

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic has triggered unprecedented governmental responses worldwide, revealing weaknesses in health systems and public health policies due to lack of “complex thought” required to manage complex adaptive systems. Understanding COVID‐19 response strategies' multiple effects is particularly important now that pandemic preparedness and response (PPR) is on top of the global health political agenda. Here, we adopt a complex adaptive systems approach to critically analyze the literature and draw lessons from the COVID‐19 response to inform future PPR strategies. We observe that in many contexts, strategies implemented in response to COVID‐19 were poorly effective, inefficient, and inequitable. We explain the limitations of these prevailing measures and propose approaches and strategies to manage pandemics arising from a “systems thinking” perspective. PPR demands the adoption of an evolving, evidenced‐informed, and context‐specific strategy based on comprehensive approaches reflecting the complexities of health crises. This means moving away from single‐focused health security paradigms to consider the full range of health problems facing populations and adopting a package of interventions chosen via participatory and deliberative processes that are context‐specific and sensitive, as well as evidence‐driven, to ensure a fair balance between various pillars of pandemic responses: health promotion, non‐pharmaceutical interventions, prophylaxis, vaccines, and treatments.

Resource Adequacy and Integration of Renewables in Light of US, EU, and Pakistan’s Evolving Power Sector

This study investigates resource adequacy and renewable energy integration in the United States, European Union, and Pakistan amid global energy market liberalization and greenhouse gas reduction efforts. It explores how these regions are adapting to the surge in renewable sources like wind and solar, which, despite their financial and environmental benefits, challenge resource adequacy and the economic viability of traditional energy sources. In the US and EU, significant improvements have been introduced in wholesale electricity markets and capacity accreditation mechanisms, which enhanced the large-scale deployment of renewables. This shift has prompted a reevaluation of resource adequacy, leading to the increased deployment of battery storage and demand response. Presently, gas-based generation is largely upholding resource adequacy; however, future trends indicate a move towards greater consumer participation, energy efficiency, and utility-scale storage, with a decline in fossil fuel use. Pakistan aims to adopt a liberalized market structure by balancing competitive markets with legacy contracts. Public pressure is driving a shift from costly fossil-based generation to renewables. Similarly, a trend in the rise of behind-the-meter solar generation can be witnessed. In the future, Pakistan may also experience resource adequacy challenges. It will likely need to implement battery storage, demand response, and modern capacity accreditation tools, by drawing lessons from developed markets.

Mpox: lessons learnt from previous viral outbreaks applicable to the ongoing outbreak

Human monkeypox (Mpox) is a zoonotic infection caused by Mpox virus (MPXV) that was first identified in a smallpox suspect in 1970, and presents with smallpox-like symptoms but with less severe manifestations. The infection is initiated through rapid replication at the inoculation site, with early symptoms including fever, chills, and exhaustion. The advent of smallpox vaccines has significantly contributed to its prevention. Due to its zoonotic nature, individuals who consume or handle animals susceptible to the virus are at increased risk and should take appropriate precautions. Both vaccines and non-pharmacological interventions have proven potent in limiting the spread of the infection. This narrative review examines the emergence and spread of Mpox in humans, delving into the epidemiology, clinical manifestations and preventive strategies for Mpox, as well as the transmission dynamics of the two MPXV clades. It also highlights the increase in cases outside Africa, with a particular focus on a UK outbreak linked to travel from Nigeria. The importance of vaccination, especially smallpox vaccines, is underscored, noting recent advancements in vaccine development such as the Vaccinia Ankara vaccine. The review emphasizes the need for robust surveillance, diagnostics, and strategies to control and manage epidemics, drawing lessons from past experiences. It concludes by stressing the clinical similarities between Mpox and smallpox and the growing public health concern posed by Mpox, especially in areas with high human-wildlife interactions.

Negotiating the Climate Long-Term Global Goal

Abstract Global goals play a catalyzing role in orienting efforts to address climate change. Yet, the negotiation of the main goal in climate governance is understudied. This article aims to fill this gap by examining the negotiation, adoption, and refinement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s (unfccc) Long-Term Global Goal (ltgg), from the late 1970s to date. I gather insights from semi-structured interviews with climate governance experts, the scientific literature, and official documentation to highlight the developments that shaped the ltgg over time. The study shows that agential, ideational, normative, structural, and contextual factors co-interacted in negotiating, adopting, and refining the ltgg. Drawing lessons from the ltgg experience, the manuscript contributes to knowledge on the politics of global goals, international negotiations, climate governance, and, more broadly, international relations, diplomacy, and global environmental politics.

Gender-Sensitive Approaches In Women's Involvement In Constitution-Making And Peacebuilding Processes In South Sudan

Constitutions play a pivotal role in shaping the political, economic, and social equality of both women and men. As the supreme law, they establish the state's framework, allocate political authority, delineate governance systems, dictate leadership selection, and safeguard fundamental rights. Constitutional reform presents a unique chance to reshape governance structures by enshrining women's rights, incorporating inclusive language, and establishing institutions that ensure and advance gender equality. In South Sudan, akin to many African nations, a pluralistic legal system merges customary practices, religious laws, common law, and statutory regulations. While customary and religious laws hold recognition, they remain unwritten, flexible, and often linked to ethnic concerns, varying across communities. Rooted in generations of tradition, these laws seek to uphold positive community values and norms. However, they frequently disadvantage women, despite the presence of traditional justice mechanisms that some argue are more accessible, cost-effective, prompt, and culturally apt. These alternative justice systems are deeply entrenched in patriarchal norms, often excluding women from comprehensive rights, including equitable participation in governance and decision-making bodies. Drawing lessons from post-conflict nations, this paper contends that the transformative potential of constitutions materializes when women capitalize on constitution reform opportunities to redefine the constitutional community's ambit, compelling the state to honor, safeguard, and fulfill women's rights

A comparative model for financial advisory standardization in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa

The development of a theoretical model for harmonizing local and international product standards for Nigerian exports Financial inclusion remains a significant challenge in Nigeria and across Sub-Saharan Africa, with millions of individuals, particularly in rural areas, lacking access to formal financial systems. Financial advisory services play a critical role in addressing this challenge by helping individuals understand and effectively use financial products such as savings, credit, and investments. However, the lack of standardization in the delivery of these advisory services has hindered their effectiveness, resulting in inconsistent practices and limited reach, especially among the unbanked population. This review proposes a comparative model for the standardization of financial advisory services in Nigeria and other Sub-Saharan African countries. It seeks to examine the current landscape of financial advisory services, comparing Nigeria’s approach with successful models in countries such as Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa. The model emphasizes key components of standardization, including financial literacy programs, digital advisory platforms, and microfinance initiatives, which are critical to reaching underserved communities. By analyzing case studies, such as Kenya’s M-Pesa platform, which has significantly advanced financial inclusion through mobile money and advisory services, the review identifies best practices that can be adapted to Nigeria’s context. The comparative analysis highlights the importance of leveraging technology, particularly mobile platforms, to provide accessible and scalable financial advisory services. It also underscores the need for public-private partnerships, regulatory support, and tailored programs that address the unique socioeconomic and cultural characteristics of Nigeria and other Sub-Saharan countries. While digital infrastructure remains a challenge in rural areas, the success of mobile banking and advisory platforms in countries like Ghana demonstrates that technology can play a transformative role in financial inclusion. Challenges such as cultural resistance, economic disparities, and infrastructure gaps are discussed, emphasizing the need for a flexible yet standardized approach to advisory services. Additionally, the review outlines the critical role of regulatory frameworks in ensuring that financial advisory services are consistent, transparent, and accessible to all segments of the population. The review advocates for a standardized advisory model tailored to Nigeria’s specific needs, drawing lessons from successful models across Sub-Saharan Africa. Such standardization, supported by regulatory reforms and technology integration, has the potential to bridge the financial inclusion gap, empowering individuals and fostering economic growth. The review also calls for regional collaboration in Sub-Saharan Africa to promote knowledge-sharing and create unified strategies for advancing financial inclusion across the continent.

США как социальный проект: уроки «Американского проекта»

The article deals with the history of the birth of the United States, presented in the form of the so-called “American Project (AP).” The creation of the United States has never been conceived in the form of any one document, plan or program of action, which may be called “a project”. The main reason that the experience of creating a new nation-country is conceptualized as a project is the intention of politicians and consultants to transmit this experience to another country. AP refers to state and political institutions and traditions embedded in the history of the country, principles and rights enshrined in fundamental documents, primarily the Constitution. The article details the understanding of AP, focusing on the social nature of this project, its characteristics and the history of its implementation. The design and redesign of states after revolutions, independence or the collapse of empires has become a mass phenomenon in the 20th and 21st centuries. A list of Russian projects is provided that compare Russia with America, look back at the American experience and draw lessons from it. The article analyzes the characteristics of AP, which make up its genome and can be used in the creation of new states: a) value-oriented project (“city on a hill”, natural rights of citizens); b) the formula of a republic (self-government) over a vast territory; c) moral and legal justifi cation for the necessity and legality of leaving the empire, where the rights of citizens are violated; d) sovereignty, divided according to the Constitution between the state and federal levels, the priority of society over the state; e) a system of checks and balances of different branches of government; f) built-in adjustment and development mechanism; g) compliance of the project with the subject of its implementation, his experience and ideals; i) two parallel and interconnected processes: the construction of a sovereign state and the construction of a new nation. The last characteristic is described in detail – the formation of a new nation in the process of creating the United States. Also analyzed attempts to compromise AP by protest movements and replace it with new state projects.The article deals with the history of the birth of the United States, presented in the form of the so-called “American Project (AP).” The creation of the United States has never been conceived in the form of any one document, plan or program of action, which may be called “a project”.
