The Green Transition and European Industry

Western Europe is spearheading efforts to decarbonise energy-intensive industries. However, the region’s climate, population density and economic development set it at a disadvantage in generating cheap renewables. Although European governments have assumed that they will import resources like green-hydrogen derivatives to decarbonise industry in Europe, the region is likely to see several major industries relocate overseas instead. Although Europe will not experience wholesale deindustrialisation, the dislocations will still have a significant political impact. European governments will want to prop up their energy-intensive industries, but the strategic and economic rationale for doing so is weak. The region faces a tricky trilemma for energy-intensive industries, with trade-offs among industrial efficiency, industrial sustainability and industrial security – especially where governments assume that industrial security requires autonomy or local production. They can resolve the trilemma by shaping diverse global supply chains for energy-intensive goods and mitigating the impact of dislocations on local economies.

Enhancing Data Security Resilience in AI-Driven Digital Transformation: Exploring Industry Challenges and Solutions Through ALCOA+ Principles.

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) defines data integrity as the maintenance of accuracy, consistency, and completeness of data over time. Recently, "artificial intelligence" has become prevalent across industries, education, culture,and technology, denoting systems that mimic human intelligence and critical thinking using computers and related technologies. This article examines the construction of a robust artificial intelligence (AI) system and the incorporation of ALCOA+ principles for data validation, with a specific focus on enhancing data certainty and security. This study was carried out through a comprehensive review of various Scopus-indexed literature over the past decade.

Pair Tarding and Residual Risk: A Case Study Based on the China’s Securities Firm

With the development of the financial field, there are more and more hedging strategies accompanied by an increasing number of residual risks in these strategies. These risks are generally ignored by people, resulting in losses. This paper begins with CITIC Securities, the leader in China’s securities industry, and analyzes its large-scale paired trading case, spreading spreads in the A-stock market. Firstly, at the macro trading level, this paper finds that there are still credit risks and liquidity risks in the trading of this investment portfolio by referring to the prospectus of CITIC Securities’ bond offering. It puts forward relevant suggestions to reduce these risks. Next, the focus shifts to the analysis of the portfolio strategy itself. The paper identifies four risk points: stock price rise in advance, abnormal events, reduced hedging opportunities, and market irrationality. It also provides suggestions on how to mitigate losses caused by these remaining risks. For example, setting up profit and loss points, establishing relevant departments to control the remaining risk points, maintaining good customer credit, and improving the company’s credit rating.

Цифровые экосистемы: двуликий Янус национального государства

Economic security of the national state is traditionally considered to be implemented only at macro level of the national economy. However, a new reality of the XXI era has shown that the key aspects of the national security are being arisen at micro level of economic activity. Innovations have created not only new factors for prosperity but given birth to specific risks and novel threats for the national state. Digital ecosystems (DESs) that have just come to light have been generating a host of state threatening consequences. Nowadays most if not all of the largest world companies are parts of digital ecosystems. Market capitalization, total sales and total business operations of the digital ecosystems equal or even exceed the gross domestic product of many independent states. A typical profile of a digital ecosystem comprises such characteristics as self-regulation and independent business; vague industry and geographic frontiers; absence of clear inner structural elements within the firm; absence or minimization of material (brick-and-stone) assets. The services of the digital ecosystems lie in a variety of highly different production, transportation, market, and after-market spheres including finance and logistics. The intangible power of DESs is based on ICT technology, e. g., M2M and IoT, which could work in an autonomous regime even off Wi-Fi areas. Cloud computing, fog computing and edge computing allow to storage and manipulate big data over the firms’ boundaries and stay off the government control. Although M2M interactions are good for telemedicine, industrial security, payment systems, etc., smart digital activity of DESs might be harmful for national economic security. Firstly, as digital ecosystems are collecting huge amount of private data, they have access to more subtle behavioral aspects of individuals than government offices. Using their private databases, DESs could influence clients in both economic and political areas. Secondly, digital cartels could implement brand-new types of price discrimination which are out of government regulations. Dynamic pricing in both sides of the digital platforms (for content providers and for consumers) could add to national inflation rates. Thirdly, information that is used to elaborate and implement government economic policy could be easily manipulated within DESs due to low quality of IT operators or because of hacker-driven misinformation. It means that the critically important statistics are in fact in the hands of the digital ecosystems, which have been transforming into tacit co-partners of government economic and social policy. In social sphere DESs have introduced a special business model, that is, worker-on-demand. Like video on demand or car sharing, employees can be hired temporarily with no labour contracts, no social security plans, no any feasible limitations on time, place, and conditions of work. Quantity of labour force, level of wages, and other important elements of working life are in the hands of algorithmic management, a special IT program elaborated by DESs’ specialists in the interests of the DESs. Such practices of labour market undermine the government social policy and increase social tensions. Digital ecosystems have changed labour resources in the direction of cyber wars. In order to defense their own infrastructure and virtual space of their activity, DESs are in the process of establishing their own cyber-army. The DES employees usually act as potential (and actual sometimes) cyber-worriers in detecting and eliminating unsanctioned penetration in digital nets of the company. The problems of digital ecosystems having too much economic power are being under consideration in many countries. For example, in China in 2021 the government replaced its former liberal IT policy for tight IT regulation of DESs. Thus, thinking about national economic security, we should take into account a new digital reality in forms of digital ecosystems and their desire (consciously or unconsciously) to substitute national state in its significant economic and social functions.

ВПЛИВ ПРОЦЕСНОГО ПІДХОДУ НА ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ УПРАВЛІННЯ ТА ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ БУДІВЕЛЬНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ

In connection with global changes in the world economy, the problem of choosing and adapting an approach in management organizations to effectively respond to changes in the external environment becomes especially relevant. This work presents the main theoretical principles of the process approach to business management. The article conducted an investigation of the effectiveness of the process approach to improve the level of economic security in the civil service industry. A different process approach has been developed to optimize business processes. Features related to the specifics of investment and investment activity are reviewed. As a result, the economical security of the everyday life sector conveys the evidence of competitive advantages, reflected in the material, financial, personnel, technical and technological potential and organizational structure of the work life industry. The assets are for strategic purposes and goals. It is clear that at this time the process approach is the basis of modern management concepts: production organization, production management, logistics, project management and the philosophy of “gentle production”. A summary has been made about the positive infusion of a process-oriented approach to manage the economical safety of everyday life, and itself: the establishment of a process-oriented approach in the management of a process-oriented approach is based on the system go. The peculiarity of the process approach in managing day-to-day activities lies in the continuity of control at the stages of adjacent processes between their systems. The company achieves the best results with thorough basic processes. First, to clarify the process, it is necessary to understand what types of activities it includes, its function and interactions with other processes. Improved business management with a process-oriented approach can be achieved through an evolutionary and revolutionary path, obviously, through engineering or business process reengineering; The process approach to management allows management decisions to be made not based on intuition, but on the basis of facts. And it also means a set of funds for upgrading your business. In daily management, the process approach is important. It is the theoretical basis of many modern concepts of management activities.

Human Security and Employment Relations in the Ready-Made Garments Industries of Bangladesh: Perspective of Women Workers

Ready-Made Garment (RMG) is the largest export earning sector of Bangladesh and the second largest provider of RMG products in the world. The RMG industries generate more than eighty percent of the country’s total export by creating employment for nearly4.4 million people out of which more than eighty percent are women. The health, safety and working condition of workers in the RMG industry do not comply with global standards and in many of these factories, insecurity of women workers, faulty infrastructural standards, violation of labour law, labour exploitation by low wage and over work; remain matters of serious concern. Obviously, employment in the RMG industry has reduced the social exclusion of women in Bangladesh, but more analysis is required to know how the RMG industry enables the women worker to re-negotiate their roles in society. Therefore, the present article is an attempt to examine how the human security system in the RMG sector has influenced the women workers’ job satisfaction and employment relations in Bangladesh.

Effect of yoga on cognitive function of hypertensive personnel in India’s Central Industrial Security Force

ABSTRACT Background: The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) protects India’s strategic assets, a role burdened with stress that may affect cognitive functions in hypertensive personnel. This study investigates yoga’s potential to enhance cognitive abilities in these individuals. Methods: In our study, 88 male CISF personnel at the Indian Space Research Organisation, Bangalore, aged 25­60 years, were divided into yoga and control groups. The yoga group underwent a 3-month regimen, daily 1-h sessions for 5 days each week. These sessions included a combination of loosening exercises, breathing practices, asanas, pranayama, and relaxation techniques. Cognitive evaluations were performed using Psychological Experimental Building Language software, encompassing the digit span, Stroop task, and Tower of London tests. Results: Postintervention, the yoga group marginally improved in the digit forward task without significant difference (p = 0.12), while in the digit backward task, they showed a slight decline compared to the control group’s pronounced decrease (p = 0.03). In the Stroop task, across all conditions-reaction time for the congruent condition (RTC), neutral condition (RTN), and incongruent condition (RTI)-the yoga group demonstrated either stable or slightly increased reaction times. In contrast, the control group exhibited significant increases in reaction times across these conditions. Significant differences were observed across conditions (RTC: p < 0.001, r = −0.67; RTN: p < 0.001, r = −0.65; RTI: p < 0.001, r = −0.70). Post-intervention, the yoga group demonstrated improved accuracy across all conditions: congruent (96%), incongruent (80%), and neutral (92%). Post-intervention, the yoga group significantly reduced their errors compared to the control group, as indicated by a notable decrease in error rate (p < 0.001, r = -0.68). Postintervention, the yoga group exhibited enhanced planning abilities (p = 0.0038, r = −0.36). Conclusion: Our study highlights the potential of yoga-based interventions in boosting cognitive abilities among hypertensive members of India’s CISF. However, a deeper exploration is essential to comprehensively understand yoga’s cognitive impact.

「경비업법」 규정과 경비실무 운영상 쟁점 사안에 관한 대안적 고찰

Although Korea's 「Security Service Act」 has been revised several times since its enactment in 1976, there are parts that do not meet the modern needs of the security industry environment. First of all, the definition of security work is unclear, and the scope of security guards' work is unclear. Confusion has continued. In 2023, the Constitutional Court ruled that some provisions of the Security Service Act prohibiting security guards from performing non-security work were unconstitutional. This measure actually infringes on the importance of security work and adds to confusion. Problems related to the validity period of security guard new training certificates are also appearing in practice. Therefore, in the future, it is important to revise the 「Security Business Act」 into a comprehensive 「Security Industry-Related Act」, clearly distinguish the scope of work of security guards, and provide security guard training. It is proposed that legislation be enacted to prevent recurrence of problems such as the controversy over the validity of certificates of completion through an overall review. These improvement measures will improve the social status of security workers by creating future national added value in the private security industry and securing professionalism in the security industry.

민간경비 발전을 위한 공동주택 경비원 제도 개선방안

In Korea, the private security industry, along with the police in charge of public security, plays an important part in maintaining social order and preventing crime. The private security industry is also developing along with economic growth, but the reality is that there are insufficient parts in terms of quality. Among the facility guards who perform most of the security work in Korea, the treatment of apartment security guards is still very poor. In 2020, the Apartment Housing Management Act was revised, and management tasks such as cleaning, separation collection, and assistance in management office work were included in the tasks of apartment security guards, and management tasks were legally added in addition to security tasks because they worked in apartment houses even though they were facility security guards.
 In this study, the main problems of apartment security were the scope of work, short-term contracts, and indirect contracts, and the following improvement measures were suggested.
 First, Article 65-2 of the Apartment Housing Management Act, which applies only to apartment security guards, should be deleted, and since apartment security guards are also facility security guards, the Security Business Act should be applied to focus on the maintenance of order, crime prevention, and risk prevention, and management should be performed by management office staff. Second, in order to prevent power abuse caused by indirect employment, the amendment to the Labor Standards Act, which includes “a person who conducts and supervises considerable work content and performance process even if he is not a party to the labor contract, and a person in a position to have substantial, specific control and influence over working conditions,” should be passed and implemented as soon as possible. Third, in order to prevent short-term contracts, local governments should expand and apply subsidies for maintaining the employment of security guards. Fourth, it is necessary to revitalize the Guards Association, an organization representing the interests of guards, to cope with unreasonable treatment of guards.
 In order for Korea's private security to continue to grow, unreasonable treatment of apartment security guards should be improved.
