Assessing strategies to mitigate the impacts of a pandemic in apparel supply chains

The COVID-19 pandemic has taught global businesses that a pandemic can put business dynamics in unforeseeable turbulence. The disruptions created by the pandemic in the apparel industry exposed the vulnerabilities of apparel supply chains (SCs). To recover the supply chain impacts (SCIs) during an unprecedented event such as the COVID-19 pandemic, apparel SCs need a robust framework that can identify, measure, and mitigate the severity of SCIs by assessing effective mitigation strategies. This study identifies 12 critical SCIs in apparel SCs during a pandemic and 17 mitigation strategies. To assess SCIs and mitigation strategies, a modified grey-based bi-level analytical network process (ANP) is proposed to deal with the complex relationship between the SCIs and mitigation strategies. A real-life case study is conducted from an apparel supply chain for validation purposes. The findings suggest that policymakers in apparel SCs should prioritize implementing government policies and financial aid to deal with increased material and operational costs, the sudden surge in the unemployment rate, cancellation of orders and delayed payment, and increased transportation costs during a pandemic. This study also contributes to the literature by providing a robust decision-making framework for practitioners to deal with the complexity of SCs during future pandemics.

Human Rights Protection in Land Acquisition for Public Interest

In theory, an increase in development activities increases the demand for land, particularly for public interest uses. Land acquisition for public interest must be done properly and transparently, and with due consideration to the respect for human rights of legal land ownership rights. Conflicts between the government and landowners have regularly arisen thus far as a result of the implementation of government policies in the purchase of land for the public interest. On the one hand, the State, as represented by the government, has the power to revoke land rights to lands that are not released by the owner or rights holder if it is urgently necessary for the public interest, but on the other hand, the State must respect the private rights of individuals to maintain their rights to land because the laws and regulations also provide protection for these rights.

Systematic Review Analysis of Government Policy Implementation of COVID 19 Provision Incentives in Indonesia

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on health workers, who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 fight. The issue of health worker incentives persists to this day. The occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted health workers as the front line in the fight against COVID-19. The problem of incentives for health workers continues to this day. Many factors must be considered by regulators and executors at the national and regional levels, as coordination of providing incentives for health workers is deemed ineffective. These include a failure to absorb the budget allocated for health worker incentives, particularly at the regional level, a large number of health workers complaining that incentives have not been distributed, and a reduction in incentives for those at the forefront of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, changing regulatory issues in accelerating the provision of COVID-19 health worker incentives are one of the factors that cause delays in paying health worker incentives. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic is over, it is critical to pay attention to the evaluation of policies for providing health workers incentives for COVID-19 that are not only focused on the time of the COVID-19 pandemic but also on the agenda for providing health workers incentives in general. Google Scholar was used to conduct a systematic review. Articles are then found in the search results that meet the criteria. A systematic search turned up eight articles that best matched the study objectives. The study design, perspective, and results of the evaluation of the COVID-19 health worker incentive policy vary greatly. The COVID-19 incentive program for health workers may be a solution to improving health workers' performance in health services. Delays, regulatory issues, and the availability of funds are all issues that must be addressed at a later date. So that the program's success can reflect the government's success in dealing with COVID-19.

Fostering library usage among science students towards Sustainable Development Goals

ABSTRACT This study explores high school libraries and science literacy in South West Nigeria. Availability of human and material resources, attitudes of science students toward the use of libraries, and possible suggestions for improvement of school libraries were examined. Data were collected from six high schools in two states in the south-western part of Nigeria. Quantitative surveys were carried out with three hundred (300) science students. Qualitative data were gathered from student focus groups and semi-structured interviews with thirty (30) students. Illustrative quotes are reported extensively in the paper. The comments were transcribed and coded to identify common themes and factors. The study confirms that there is a wide gap between policy and implementation. This gap is attributable to; lack of resource, inadequate reading space, limited reading time, non-digitization of the libraries etc. The study shows that there is a need for effective implementation of government policies to achieve improved scientific literacy rates.

Ambiente, saúde e covid-19: da crise global à existência sustentável

Abstract This essay analyzes the socio-sanitary impacts exerted by the environment, incorporating the dynamics brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and unveiling its repercussions. Countries that failed to prevent the virus spread and to established effective and collaborative intervention measures were hit the hardest. Environmental destruction reached new heights in the pandemic, as have the threats faced by its defenders, further aggravating the crisis. In this scenario one can highlight the risks posed to Brazilian Indigenous peoples and Latin American environmentalists; the emergence of dangerous groups; and the implementation of government policies with critical effects on environmental preservation that put traditional ways of life at risk. It is thus recognized that the planet faces not only a health crisis, but also a socioeconomic and environmental one. To overcome such heterogeneous crisis, efforts must be multifaceted, involving: caring for health and ecosystems; eliminating global poverty and sanitary inequality; reducing environmental risks; protecting traditional ways of life; defending democracies and human rights; and fostering sustainable development policies and international cooperation. These efforts will also affect the years to come, minimizing the risks of new pandemics and acting to preserve the environment.

ШЛЯХИ ПОДОЛАННЯ ГЕНДЕРНОГО ДИСБАЛАНСУ ЗА РАХУНОК ДЕМОКРАТИЗАЦІЇ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО СУСПІЛЬСТВА

The article shows why gender policy in Ukraine, especially in the context of the chosen course for building European democratic institutions, should now appear in a completely new, relevant vision. To date, gender approaches are necessarily taken into account and applied in the development of legal acts in almost all countries of the world. It has been established that at the level of the Law in Ukraine, issues of preventing gender discrimination, ensuring equal participation of women and men in making socially important decisions (primarily through election to representative bodies and appointing women to leadership positions), and ensuring equal opportunities for women and men, taking into account the correlation of professional and family responsibilities, the impossibility of manifestations of genderbased violence, etc. The statistical data of the EU countries are presented, on the basis of which it can be argued that those countries in which there are high rates of representation of women in political institutions not only have a higher level of civil rights and freedoms, but are also more economically developed, because, thus, they create conditions for political and economic diversity, tolerance and trust. Examples of the application of gender policy in Kropyvnytskyi are considered. Gender democracy in action is a principle that ensures women, on equal terms with men, the right to vote in all elections and public referendums, and to be elected to all elected bodies; participate in the formation and implementation of government policies; hold public office, as well as perform public functions at all levels of government; participate in the activities of non-governmental organizations and associations that resolve issues of public and political life of the country. It has been established that the presence of any gender disproportions that take place in certain areas means only one thing - this is actual gender discrimination that does not meet the requirements for the development of modern democracy in the world and Ukraine. It is determined that the concept of segregation in real life, in itself, implies the actual separation of a certain group of people from the main part of the population. The example shows the modern attitude of employers to the problems of gender policy. If we consider segregation specifically from the standpoint of gender equality, then we can say that there is not only vertical, but also horizontal segregation in areas of activity, which, for example, turns education, statistics, healthcare, social protection and a number of other industries into purely women's industries in Ukraine. The world we live in is becoming especially demanding on leadership qualities. It is becoming more and more obvious that stakeholders do not care who will be the leader: he, she, or maybe a person with a non-traditional orientation (it). Now everyone is focused only on the result. Statistical data are given that indicate that the need for women who make their own decisions is constantly growing in society. It has been determined that the possible gender imbalance in Ukrainian society is largely due to a number of stereotypes that hinder the full-fledged self-realization of both sexes. The author came to the conclusion that the actions that the state of Ukraine is doing today, having embarked on the path of democratization of our society, as well as to further increase the civil rights of the population, will certainly help us overcome, unfortunately, the gender imbalance that still exists in the country.

Assessing the perceived e-readiness for teleworking: the case of a private company in Ghana

This study explores the readiness factors that influenced the adoption of teleworking in an organisation's operations. The perceived e-readiness model (PERM) was conceptualised as the theoretical underpinning for this study. The study used a sample size of 20 respondents who were purposively selected and interviewed for primary data. The data analysis was done through thematic analysis. The results revealed that, with perceived organisational e-readiness, the influencing factors were awareness, resources availability, commitment from top managers and executives of the firm as well as the implementation of governance measures and policies that facilitated the smooth telework processes in the firm. On the environmental e-readiness, government e-readiness was identified to be the only influencing factor, with market forces e-readiness, as a result of customer expectations, and supporting industries e-readiness were not felt to have had any impact in driving the firm to telework. Other implications are also discussed.

The Practice of Female Genital Mutilation in Africa And the Challenges Facing Its Eradication: Nigeria As A Case Study

Female genital mutilation (FGM) has continued to thrive across several countries of the world, remaining a rampant practice despite humanitarian and public health efforts to abolish it. FGM is currently estimated to affect over 200 million females globally, with Nigeria having the highest absolute numbers of cases of FGM in Africa. This review highlights the prevalence of FGM in Nigeria and across Africa, using the latest data available through PubMed and other electronic database with the aid of Google search engine. It aims to discuss the impacts of the humanitarian efforts and national policies toward the abolition of FGM in Nigeria over the years as well as the challenges facing the abandonment of this practice. Studies have shown a decline in the prevalence of FGM over the years, however it still continues to thrive and pose significant public health challenge in Nigeria and across Africa, violating fundamental human rights of women and the girl-child. Socio-cultural belief has been found to contribute significantly to the continuity of this harmful practice. Ensuring the implementation of essential government policies, inter-sectorial collaborations and the continuous sensitization of the general public are vital to the elimination of FGM in Nigeria and across Africa.

Analyzing the Trends and Causes of Birth Defects - Jinan City, Shandong Province, China, 2005-2022.

Numerous studies conducted in China have reported on the prevalence of birth defects (BDs). However, the limited surveillance periods in select studies curtail comprehensive trends and cause evaluation. Accordingly, the surveillance duration of BDs is extended, and a comprehensive analysis of their prevailing trends is conducted to provide a basis for government intervention and policy implementation. There is a distinct increase in the incidence of BDs observed in Jinan. In rural areas, a pronounced upward trend was observed, and the increase was more rapid than in urban areas. BD prevalence among mothers over 35 years old and under 20 years old was substantially higher than BD prevalence rates in other maternal age brackets. Specifically, the period from 2005 to 2022 saw the prevalence of congenital heart disease surge, the fastest average annual growth rate among all birth defects. It's essential to prioritize pregnant women in rural areas and those at both ends of the maternal age spectrum. Implementing comprehensive initiatives is crucial to address the high prevalence of congenital heart disease.

The effect of COVID-19 on local government policy implementation: Declines in police reports of domestic violence during lockdowns

We document a reduction in police reporting of domestic violence during shelter-in-place (SIP) orders issued by city governments in March and April of 2020. Using data from 18 large U.S. city police departments, we exploit the unique timing of city-specific SIP orders to identify a decrease as high as 11 percent in police reports of domestic violence. Lockdowns, explicitly designed to reduce contact among civilian populations, may also lead to reduced contact between emergency responders and civilians. Our findings suggest police change their own behaviors in response to government-issued SIP orders leading to a decrease in agency reports of domestic violence. While previous scholarship on domestic violence has found an increase in emergency calls for service from households during SIP, we consistently find a decrease in police reporting of domestic violence. By centering our analysis on the responses of law enforcement agencies, we highlight the divergence in the consequences of SIP orders on household behaviors versus institutional behaviors. We present robust findings using event studies in addition to both staggered treatment and conventional difference-in-differences estimators. The implications of our study extend to city officials who are tasked with assessing the unique repercussions of SIP orders on both households and the responsiveness of local government agencies. This research underscores the multifaceted nature of the effects induced by external shocks such as COVID-19, shedding light on the intricate interplay between societal dynamics and institutional responses.

IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN PEMERINTAH TERHADAP PENGURANGAN PEKERJA ANAK DI INDONESIA PADA MASA PANDEMI COVID-19 (2020-2021)

Child laborers are children who are forced to do routine work for their parents to meet their daily needs at home. This can be caused by the poverty of families who have very low incomes or do not have jobs. The entry of the Corona virus in Indonesia in 2020, greatly affected people's activities so that it had to blend in with new government policies to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The existence of a pandemic in 2020, there are many impacts experienced by the community, including those who are unable to send their children to school. The need for implementing policies from the government to prevent an increase in the number of child labor in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study will use the theory of Constructivism according to Jean Piaget and use the qualitative method in discussing the implementation of government policies on reducing child labor in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic. With the implementation carried out by the government during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the number of child laborers will decrease in 2021, so that with the efforts of the government the number of child labor can decrease slowly in accordance with the government's expectations.

The analysis of the factors affecting the stringency index during COVID-19 pandemic

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which started in China’s Wuhan providence in the late 2019s, and then affected the entire world in a short time, causing high disease and death rates, was one of the most important unexpected crises of 21st century. In order to manage the risk the pandemic posed on public health and public order, and to control spread of the disease, governments implemented restriction policies, in which precautions such as limitation and closure were taken. This study aims to examine the factors affecting the stringency index, an indicator of the political measures taken by governments against the epidemic in the selected countries (the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Germany, Türkiye, Russia, Brazil, the United States of America, India) during COVID-19 pandemic. In the analysis, non-additive fixed effect panel quantile regression model with the instrumental variable was used. The data set covers the period between March 11, 2020 and June 29, 2021. The findings indicate that although the level of effects varied, an increase in the number of daily deaths has an increasing effect on the stringency index value in all the countries within the study. Meanwhile, it is observed that as the rate of people with age 65 and over increases, the stringency measures also increase in the countries implemented moderate and high-level restrictions.

Analysis of West Sulawesi Provincial Government Policy on the Management of the Bala - Balakang Island

This paper analyzes the implementation of the West Sulawesi provincial government policy towards the ownership status of the Bala-balakang island and also the impact of the West Sulawesi provincial policy on the ownership status of the Bala-balakang island. The Provincial Government of West Sulawesi has attempted several programs to defend the Bala-balakang Island from lawsuits from East Kalimantan. The Bala-balakang Archipelago has enormous potential for natural resources including the potential for marine tourism and fisheries. However, until now the West Sulawesi government is still having problems continuing to intervene because of the long distance to the island.
