Authors:Taeyoung Yoo, Dong Kwan Jung, Donghyun Son, Reinhard Bachmann Pages: 1 - 1 Abstract: Expanding upon the existing literature on agency theory, which often overlooks potential conflicting interests among monitoring mechanisms, this study investigates the divergent effects of active foreign institutional investors and outside directors on firm strategy and performance. Specifically, in light of inconclusive findings on the relationship between layoffs and performance, this study examines the initiators of layoffs and their impact on firm performance, comparing the roles of active foreign institutional investors and outside directors. Through panel data analysis of 2,516 firm-year observations from South Korea spanning 2010 to 2014, the findings reveal that firms with active foreign institutional investors are more inclined to implement large-scale layoffs, which positively moderate the relationship between active foreign institutional investors and firm performance metrics such as return on assets (ROA) and market returns. However, the relationships between active foreign institutional investors, layoffs, and performance are contingent upon the presence of outside directors on the board. Outside directors are not actively involved in initiating layoffs but tend to approve them in the context of operational performance, such as ROA, while showing less interest in layoffs as a means of external evaluation, such as market returns. These findings highlight the heterogeneous characteristics of outside directors and active foreign institutional investors with regard to layoffs and performance, and subsequently propose theoretical and managerial implications for the design of corporate governance.

Authors:Ivančík Radoslav, Andrassy Vladimír Pages: 16 - 16 Abstract: The objective of this study is to examine some of the factors contributing to belief in conspiracy theories. They have gained considerable popularity among the public in recent years. They react more and more often to several socially significant events taking place around us, while coming up with an alternative explanation, especially for those events that concern a larger number of people. Due to the fast introduction of the Internet and the rapid development in the field of information and communication technologies, systems and means, conspiracy theories are penetrating very significantly especially in the field of mass media and notably in the field of new media. Today, social networks are the medium with the greatest spread of various conspiracy theories. It is one of the primary reasons why conspiracy theories have become the subject of our scientific interest. With the use of relevant methods of qualitative theoretical scientific research, in this work we present our research findings and a look at some selected factors contributing to belief in conspiracy theories to readers from the professional and lay public.

Authors:Seung-Hoon Jeong, Ji-Young Chung Pages: 33 - 33 Abstract: Physical education major in higher education has been negatively impacted during COVID-19 due to the need for social distancing. Many universities have adopted hybrid or fully remote learning models to avoid these risks in this environment. Recognizing the importance of online education for physical education, this research focuses on Korean university students' satisfaction and evaluation with synchronous online learning using Zoom. The study implemented a mixed method, including exit course surveys (n=60) and individual interviews (n=4). The data was collected in the 2022 fall semester. Study results showed synchronous online education provided a flexible learning environment for physical education students. Also, university students were satisfied with synchronous online education and were willing to take these courses again next semester. Furthermore, they evaluated synchronous online education as effective in providing real-time interaction between the instructor and students. However, the interview data showed some challenges of online learning using Zoom for physical education courses. Finally, several implications are discussed for effectively constructing synchronous online physical education for higher education.

Authors:Ayman Nawwaf Sharif Alhawawsheh Pages: 54 - 54 Abstract: This study aimed at a legal and scientific analysis of the Guarantees of the death penalty for pregnant women as a comparative study between Emirati and Jordanian legislation, At a time when there is a lot of controversy over the retention or abolition of this penalty. Researcher sought to analyze the Guarantees of execution of the penalty for the pregnant woman before and after the trial and during the execution between Emirati and Jordanian legislation, also analyzed the Definition of the death penalty and the controversy over maintaining or abolishing this penalty Supporting and opposing sides of Capital Punishment. The study obtained several results, the most important of which is we find that the text of Article 17 – Penal Code- talks about the replacement of the death penalty in life imprisonment, only before the issuance of the final judgment, but in the case of text 358- Code of Criminal Procedure , it is after the issuance of a final judgment in the case, then the execution is carried out after three months. In this we find that the Jordanian legislator was not successful in the text and that there is a conflict in the interest of the youngster and we recommend the legislator to amend the text to replace the death penalty with life imprisonment after the final judgment, in order to protect the fetus and take into account his interests.

Authors:María Francisca Cazorla Logroño, Juan R. Gallego-Bono Pages: 66 - 66 Abstract: Institutionalism emerges as a scientific construct of economics and sociology, becoming a fundamental element for achieving the development objectives of countries (Portes, 2009). The theoretical review of its approaches, characteristics and elements of study, based on the prominent works of Ronald Coase (1988), Douglas North (1990), Oliver Williamson (1988) and Elinor Ostrom (2009), are carried out with the objective of exposing from another perspective the theories of the Traditional Institutionalist approach (TI), the Economic Neo- Institutionalism (NE) and the New Institutional Economics (NEI). Through the description and exploration, qualitative and transversal, of primary and secondary sources, the convergent and differentiating elements of each approach are described, as well as the importance of their characteristics in the economic system. The study of Institutionalism allows the recognition of market failures, irrationality in the decisions of economic agents, agency problems in the implementation of public policies, the existence of transaction costs, taking as a reference the theories of Economic Institutionalism and its approaches.

Authors:Linert Lirëza, Ersi Bozheku Pages: 79 - 79 Abstract: The individual’s will, defined as a fundamental condition to enter a marriage, proves that it belongs to private law, therefore marriage is not mandatory but optional. From this point of view, the right to marry shall not be understood only as an opportunity that the law provides for two individuals to enter a marriage, but also as the individuals’ right to reject such a relationship [marriage] before it is entered. The European Union has addressed the problem of forced marriage both a form of human trafficking and as a manifestation of gender-based violence. Since forced marriage mainly affects vulnerable social groups, women and minors should be taken into primary consideration. Recently in Europe, there is a growing trend towards the criminalization of forced marriage. This papier identifies enforcement cases in relation to the criminal offence of forced marriage in Europe. As a result, the core aim of this article is to critically review advantages and disadvantages of the criminalization of forced marriages from a comparative point of view. In conclusion, such a criminalization cannot be seen as a priority tool to address the problem of a forced marriage.

Authors:Tar Abdallahi, Hanene Lahiani, Basil Alqarraleh Pages: 86 - 86 Abstract: God mercifully and kindly spread out religions so that people can live in safety, comfort and happiness. Because humans are carefree and tend to perform self-destructive acts, religions warned against subjecting oneself or others to dangers, which leads to violence. This research throws light on violence as a phenomenon that violates human nature, because of the enormous damage it breads. Quran warns against violence and offers preventive ways to avoid its lethal trap. Because of the abundance of Quranic verses warning against violence and its dangers to human life, this research studies family violence, by focusing on exegetes’ opinions and discretion on verses relating to violence. Al-Tahrir va Al-Tanvir is used as a model to other exegetes who dealt with the Quranic verses which discussed intimate partner violence and its treatment. This research aims at analyzing and criticizing those exegeses, in order to strike a balance between them.

Authors:Waleed Samir Ali Pages: 135 - 135 Abstract: Global warming is one of the most concerning problems in today’s world, especially since the early decades of the 21st century. Several scientists, as well as writers, have attempted to illuminate the negative consequences of climate change in their work. In addition, climate fiction has emerged as an important type of science fiction to investigate and raise awareness about anthropogenic climate change. Kim Stanley Robinson, an American science fiction writer whose oeuvre includes climate fiction, has produced several works that focus on illuminating the catastrophic consequences of anthropogenic climate change. His 2017 novel New York 2140 is a case in point. This paper aims to elucidate the effects of climate change on human life. As an example of "Anthropocene" fiction, New York 2140 is also concerned with showing the intricate relation between capitalism, politics, and the environment. In addition, this paper intends to show how Robinson, in his novel, does not only focus on magnifying the negative consequences of global warming but also on how his utopian perspective is revealed by his depiction of how people adapt successfully to this catastrophe.

Authors:Winahyu Erwiningsih Pages: 143 - 143 Abstract: The lack of clarity and firmness in Indonesian Basic Agrarian Law (BAL) in explaining the meaning and substance of state ownership rights to land based on the nation's view of life and its implementation based on the concept of a rule of law based on the principle of people's sovereignty is a fundamental and urgent matter. This study used a normative research method of the explanatory-analytical type with a normative, comparative and historical juridical approach, while the data analysis was carried out qualitatively. The results of this study include: first, the original state tenure rights over land imply the demands of community rights and obligations regarding the use of land rights for the welfare of the people. Second, the implementation of the meaning and substance of state tenure rights over land has not been fully reflected in statutory regulations so that state administrators (executives) experience difficulties in carrying out these functions of authority. Third, the weak implementation of regulations is caused by the lack of political will in power to carry out agrarian politics consequently characterized by a single interpretation of state tenure rights over land based on the regime's political interests.

Authors:Mohamed Chettah, Faycal Farhi Pages: 179 - 179 Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic widely affected almost every field of life, and journalism is no exception. Following these major transformations, journalism is today going through different phases which further indicate the future of journalism worldwide. This study examined the future of the journalism profession in the post-pandemic era from the perspective of professionals in media organizations. The results revealed that most of these indicated that their organizations dealt with the coronavirus pandemic professionally by changing the work pattern in the institution. For example, changes in work location during the crisis were emphasized. Many journalists also had to adopt job turnover due to the increase of work-life challenges. In addition, recruitment patterns were altered and working patterns were transformed into digital approaches such as news gathering, publishing online and via social media. Additionally, the professional pressures on journalists were also emphasized in the responses. Regarding the future of journalism in the post-pandemic era, respondents revealed that journalism practices changed greatly after the pandemic. Specifically, changes in working hours, resources and approaches are now affecting the competencies of journalists in their organizations. Finally, the respondents indicated that the demand for “comprehensive journalism” is now in demand by media organizations. Consequently, there are increasing demands for individuals to have professional degrees in media and journalism.

Authors:Rena Yulia, Aliyth Prakarsa, Mahrus Ali Pages: 193 - 193 Abstract: The Baduy are indigenous people who firmly adhere to the customary law of their ancestral heritage, both in carrying out their daily lives and when conflicts or crimes occur. Even though they are part of Indonesia, the Baduy have their own legal system, which is different from positive law. Likewise in customary criminal law, the Baduy have a customary criminal justice system that is authorized to resolve customary conflicts that occur between indigenous people or those that occur in their customary territories. The conflict resolution method in Baduy customary law is called Silih Hampura. Silih Hampura 's way of working is very similar to that of restorative justice which is currently being implemented in national law to resolve various types of criminal acts. This research will examine the Silih Hampura method in resolving conflicts that occur in the Baduy as an effort to explore the Pancasila values contained in the local wisdom of the Baduy customary criminal law. The research method uses normative and empirical legal research methods. Using primary and secondary data sources which are processed using qualitative data analysis. The results of the study show that the Baduy have a conflict resolution method, namely Silih Hampura . The concepts of Silih Hampura are very thick with the norms contained in Pancasila. Deliberation for consensus, creating peace, family behavior, patterns of attention to victims and no elements of revenge, prioritizing victims' apologies and apologies from perpetrators, as well as restoring the conditions of victims, society and the environment so that they can restore the disturbed nature due to crimes or conflicts that have occurred.

Authors:Wenqing Wang, Intan Marfarrina Omar, Fatt Hee Tie, Wei Chen Pages: 204 - 204 Abstract: Student’s Right-to-Know (SRK) in teaching includes student’s rights to know about the learning objectives, processes, procedures, university facilities and services, and educational and ethical requirements of the higher education institutes. However, as far as the review of the associated studies, Chinese undergraduate students’ perceptions of the consequences of SRK in teaching and its importance have yet to be well explored. Therefore,this qualitative (phenomenological study) aimed to investigate the Chinese undergraduate ’students’perceptions of the educational, social, and individual consequences recognition of the SRK by the universities in China. The informants (25 undergraduate students) were selected through purposive sampling, and the data were collected through interviews with the informants. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using available, selective, and axial theme analyses. Findings revealed that the recognition of SRK in teaching is accompanied by four main themes: educational, social and political, administrative, and individual consequences, each consisting of several sub-themes. Findings have theoretical and practical implications on consumers of higher education, including university staff, teachers, and students.

Authors:Ada Aliaj, Rovena Vangjel Pages: 236 - 236 Abstract: This study investigates financial development's effect on Albania's shadow economy from 1995 to 2015. We use data on the shadow economy from Medina and Schneider (2018) and other economic variables to examine the relationship between the shadow economy and economic growth. We use ADF, PP, and KPSS tests to determine the stationarity of the data series and Toda Yamamoto Granger Causality and VAR(p+dmax) estimation to identify the direction of the causal relationship between financial development and other economic variables and the shadow economy in Albania. Our results indicate a unidirectional causal relationship between financial development and the shadow economy, as well as between trade openness and the shadow economy. These findings suggest that efforts to improve and deepen financial development and trade openness could help formalize Albania's economy. Based on these results, we recommend that the Albanian government focus on financial inclusion reforms and facilitating exports and imports to combat the shadow economy and bring these activities into the formal sector.

Authors:Nora Eka Putri, Helmi, Melinda Noer, Yossyafra Pages: 250 - 250 Abstract: This research is related to the social phenomenon of land acquisition for toll road construction. It is necessary to enrich knowledge about policy politics, especially in the decision-making process of land acquisition policies, by involving the participation of widely affected communities (hybrid policy). The implementation of land acquisition for the Sicincin-Padang toll road construction in West Sumatra relatively encounters challenges such as issues of compensation, disputes over customary land, coordination between stakeholders, and such. The purpose of this research is to formulate a hybrid policy model for the decision-making process of land acquisition for the construction of toll roads in West Sumatra. The research approach is a mixed method, a kind of concurrent triangulation, namely two-sided research conducted simultaneously so that both sides have the same emphasis (data collection and analysis techniques). Data were collected from relevant informants and respondents from affected communities (325 respondents). Data were analyzed using a soft system methodology consisting of root definition, customers, actors, transformation, worldview, owners, and environmental constraints (CATWOE) analysis. The study results explain that the implementation of land acquisition for toll roads in Indonesia and the Sicincin-Padang section of toll roads in West Sumatra has not been optimal; there are still problems such as refusal of compensation value, road alignment issues, land acquisition administration, and coordination between the central government, local government, and the community. Furthermore, based on the above findings, a hybrid policy model for land acquisition policy (especially at the planning stage) is formulated as a novel concept that can be an alternative solution to the problem of toll road land acquisition.

Wilkins, Rahmawati Rahmawati, Subair Subair, Wahyuddin Bakri, Alwan Suban, Mihrani Mihrani, Ilham Ilham, Andries Kango, Muhammad Obie Pages: 264 - 264 Abstract: Mangrove forests are one of the most important ecosystems for coastal communities. However, mangrove forests are degraded and damaged by human activities. One solution to overcome this problem is to take advantage of local wisdom. The Bajo Tribe, who lives around Indonesia's mangrove forests, has unique local wisdom and the potential to maintain the sustainability of mangrove forests. This study explores the contribution of the local wisdom of the Bajo Tribe in preserving Indonesia's mangrove forests. This article results from qualitative research in which data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The informants of this study are the Bajo Tribe community on the coast of Tomini Bay, Indonesia. The results showed that the local wisdom of the Bajo Tribe in preserving mangrove forests includes several practices, namely mangrove forest conservation, wisely managing mangrove forests, and developing a sustainable economy based on mangrove forests. These practices have been proven to preserve mangrove forests. This research provides a better understanding of the local wisdom of the Bajo Tribe in preserving Indonesia's mangrove forests. It helps the government develop better policies and practices to preserve the sustainability of Indonesia's mangrove forests.

Authors:Bambang Saiful Ma`arif, Munawar Rahmat, Kastolani Pages: 276 - 276 Abstract: Ahmadiyya is a Muslim minority with distinctive teachings contradictory to mainstream Islam that has been entrenched in Indonesia since the Dutch colonial era. After independence, the sect enjoyed the freedom of religion and belief under the law's guarantee and the state's power during the reign of the first two presidents (1945-1998). However, the power of orthodox Muslims strengthened during the Reformation Order, and in 2005, a fatwa regarding the heresy of the Ahmadiyya was issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). This was followed by the Joint Decree of the Three High State Institutions, which limited the movement of the Indonesian Ahmadiyya Congregation (JAI). Regional regulations emerged, followed by a violent crusade against this sect. Consequently, this research examined the communication model used by the Ahmadiyya Muslim minority to preach post-persecution. The qualitative methods employed for data collection were observation, interviews, and documentation, which intensively occurred in October-December 2019 and August 2022. The respondents were six JAI central/branch managers and three missionaries. The research results show that the Ahmadiyya teachings naming Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (MGA) as a prophet are the trigger for persecution. Although orthodox Muslims allow the unhindered performance of activities, providing Ahmadiyya is labeled a religion and not a part of Islam, JAI refused because it believes MGA is the non-shari'at Prophet. After the persecution, JAI proposed four models of dakwah communication that internally strengthen Ahmadi beliefs and invite sympathy and new converts.

Al-Tkhayneh, Hasan Awad Al-Tarawneh, Enas Abulibdeh, Moath Khalaf Alomery Pages: 308 - 308 Abstract: This study discusses the social and legal risks of artificial intelligence by referring to reliable primary and secondary sources in this field of study and analyzing the content of the collected data. Various data sources were consulted, including articles published in newspapers, international organizations’ websites, and refereed journals. The results of the study demonstrate that artificial intelligence may have negative effects if it is not used on solid ethical grounds as it may lead to taking discriminatory decisions in institutions and pose some risks in relation to users’ privacy, in addition to legal, criminal, and ethical challenges. More broadly, the study reveals that artificial intelligence is widening the gap between rich and poor countries. Therefore, institutions specialized in various fields need to specify the purpose of their efforts in the field of artificial intelligence, so they can overcome the obstacles that may face the progress of their work and the process of preserving human rights.

Authors:Hadi Karyono, Retno Mawarini Sukmariningsih, Johan Erwin Isharyanto Pages: 319 - 319 Abstract: Indonesian history records that youth have a role in changing the lives of the State, especially in the changes that have resulted in the nation's progress. In the current era of globalization, the role of the younger generation, especially in implementing Pancasila in people's lives, has become increasingly receding, the character values of the nation have faded and even disappeared, and the morals of some of the nation's children have lost the spirit of the noble values of Pancasila. The younger generation is experiencing a socio-cultural crisis that is incarnate in the form of disintegration and dislocation. The behavioral tendencies and personalities of the younger generation are increasingly moving away from the values of Pancasila and losing one's identity as an individual rooted in the noble values of the nation's culture. Observing this tendency, building and awakening the country's character in a severe and urgent matter is necessary. This research uses sociological juridical research methods. The research object in this paper is related to building character or shaping the essence of the younger generation who are Pancasila, thus making the civilization of the Indonesian nation. Public awareness must be immediately mobilized and encouraged to re-recognize and practice the values of Pancasila in various aspects of social, political, economic, and cultural life. Strategic character-building efforts can be carried out through the educational process.

Authors:Thanate Piromgarn, Kittisak Ariyakuare, Songwut Egwutvongsa Pages: 348 - 348 Abstract: The aim of this research is to establish a pottery production process from volcanic rock powder in Ban Kruat District, Thailand under the concept of the green economy operation by using research tools such as structured interviews as well as Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Multiple Regression Analysis. Moreover, it was found that the mixing ratios of pumice powder at 50%, local soil at 20% and kaolin at 30% with a shrinkage rate of 14%, water absorption of 1.88%, and a hardness of 304.75 kg/cm², having been fired at a temperature of 1,190 °C is considered a suitable ratio. In the same way, when transferring the production process of new pottery to the community in Ban Kruat District for production and distribution with the evaluation of consumer satisfaction, it can be summarized that there are six factors that affect consumer satisfaction: 1) Local Identity, 2) Uniqueness of the Materials, 3) Identity from Khmer Art Influence, 4) Factors in Lifestyle and Local Beliefs, 5) Functional Factors that Correspond to the Era, and 6) Factors of Current Market Conditions. Thus, these six factors have a predictive value of 61.365 (KMO =.533), and the results are as follows: F = 88.808, P = 0.000, R = 0.858, R2 = 0.736, Adj R2 = 0.728, SEE = 0.320, Durbin-Watson = 1.919. Therefore, the regression equation is defined as y ̂=-2.528+.345(X_1 )+.277(X_2 )+.287(X_3 )+.354(X_4 )+.373(X_5 )+.392(X_6 ), and it was concluded that all six factors affect consumer satisfaction towards pottery made from new types of volcanic rock powder with statistical significance at .01.

Authors:Aset Iskakov, Talgat Akimzhanov, Gulzat Zhunisbayeva Pages: 373 - 373 Abstract: The study focuses on understanding the opportunities to improve the prevention of religious extremism in penitentiary institutions. Analysis of factors in the spread of religious extremism and measures of its prevention not only raises the efficiency of a country’s penitentiary system but promotes the stability of social relations and increases the security of the population. The goal of the study is to propose directions for the improvement of the religious extremism prevention system to enhance the efficiency of a country’s penitentiary system. The study examines the features of the dissemination of extremism and terrorism and explores the penitentiary practice of detention of persons convicted of extremist crimes in the Republic of Kazakhstan. According to the results of the expert survey, factors in the spread of religious extremism in Kazakhstan’s penitentiary system are identified and recommendations for possible measures to prevent them are offered. The authors argue that such prevention should strengthen interaction with religious departments and public organizations dealing with religious extremism, introduce international programs into the work of penitentiary employees, include training in special programs of psychologists and theologians, involve authoritative representatives of the clergy, and introduce the institution of chaplains. The presented theoretical and practical recommendations will enable government agencies to curb the spread of religious extremism in penitentiary institutions.

Abdullah, Luqmanul Hakiem Ajuna Pages: 387 - 387 Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has penetrated all corners of the world, including Indonesia and Gorontalo Province. The impact is directly on public health and indirectly on the regional economy of Gorontalo Province. The presence of the COVID-19 vaccination as one of the solutions programmed by the government to deal with the pandemic is important and should be supported by all components of the nation and regions. For this reason, it is important to study the issue of COVID-19 vaccination with household consumption and investment to analyze and describe the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on household consumption and investment in Gorontalo Province. Meanwhile, the method used to collect data on COVID-19 vaccination, household consumption, and investment is the documentation method. The results of the study show that the COVID-19 vaccination has no significant impact on household consumption but has a significant impact on investment in Gorontalo Province. Therefore, the COVID-19 vaccination program initiated by the government needs to be fully supported by all national and regional components so that the accelerated economic development of the nation and state in general and the Gorontalo Province region, in particular, can grow well.

Authors:Phanusak Samersri Pages: 400 - 400 Abstract: In Thailand, police officers at Metropolitan Police Bureau worked under pressure, stress, exhaustion, and discouragement. This situation leads to inefficient or diminishes performance, creating more resignations annually. However, there has been little discussion about this situation. The purpose of this study is to explore the Burnout syndrome of police officers, and test the relationship of the influences affecting the police officers. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used. The quantitative sample included 398 police officers from Metropolitan Division 1-9, Investigation Division, and Traffic Police Division. The qualitative sample included twenty police officers and scholars, who were key informants. Questionnaires and in-depth interviews were used. The statistics were percentage, means, standard deviation, effectiveness index, and T-test. The findings showed that Inquiry Section was the most important and responsible missions, and high workloads, insufficient budget, personality and no human relations with colleagues causing burnout. Also, there was less opportunity for advancement than other fields. Other relevant factors were the relationship at work, with the police officers felt uncomfortable with their supervisors and having bad relations with their colleagues. The influential factors of age, income, duties and responsibilities, and working personality were found at a high level. The correlation of work environment factors organisational roles, and work relationships was high. The research concluded that police officers were overworked and experienced lack of budget, personnel, equipment, tools and no human relations with colleagues. The police administration is ineffective. However, this research was limited in terms of area and sample from Metropolitan Police bureau. Recommendations should be made to improve pay for Performance (P4P) for inquiry officials, including reviewing the promotional of inquiry officials for line growth, building human relations among supervisors, colleagues and subordinates, salary, compensation, and benefits base should be improved, and police organisations should be reformed based on legitimacy. The next recommendation is for future study to research on how to prevent police officers from the burnout syndrome.
