Authors:   The Korean Association for Terrorism Studies, Cho Seok Jin , Baek Nam Seol
Published: February 2025

Due to the internationalization of terrorism today, franchise-type remote terrorism and a tendency to network between terrorist organizations are emerging. In addition, as online influence, such as the expansion of SNS, is growing, it is time for South Korea to prepare thoroughly for new type of international terrorism, which has been evaluated as safe from the risk of terrorism. In the past, physical terrorism using bombs, biochemical weapons, and assassinations was dominated, but in recent years, the aspects of terrorism such as drone terrorism and cyber terrorism are diversifying and becoming more complex. In addition, in order to cope with the trend of internationalization of terrorism, it is necessary to analyze the connections and commonalities between terrorist organizations. With this awareness of the problem, this study attempts to provide basic data for establishing a terrorism prevention system by deriving the ideological commonalities between Islamic extremist terrorism and North Korea's terrorism against South Korea.
Clans Division and Al-Shabaab’s Dominance in Somalia
Authors:   The Korean Association for Terrorism Studies, Cho Sung Taek , Yim Woong Seog
Published: February 2025

Al-Shabaab started as a youth branch of an organization called the Islamic Legal Union, is based in Somalia and is engaged in terrorist activities in East Africa, pledging allegiance to the global terrorist organization Al Qaeda in 2010 and forming an alliance with Al Qaeda in 2012.
Al-Shabaab actively intervened in the 2006-2009 Somali conflict and is the dominant force in the southern and central parts of Somalia, fighting the Somali federal government and the African Union. In the civil war since the collapse of the socialist Barre regime, al-Shabaab has threatened the authority of the Somali government through guerrilla warfare and rule over occupied areas while advocating the ideology of Salafism.
Somali Armed Forces, militias, and international peacekeepers have been trying to militarily wipe out al-Shabaab and other terrorist organizations, but the results have been unsuccessful. In order to resolve the chaos in Somalia, discussions on restoring peace among the elite and a new democratic system are urgently needed, and consistent cooperation from neighboring countries and continuous humanitarian support efforts for the Somali people are needed.
A Study on Securing Counter-terrorism Capability of Korean Consulate and Diplomat’s Safety in the Middle East Region
Authors:   The Korean Association for Terrorism Studies, Cho Sung-Hwan
Published: February 2025

Recently, An armed conflict between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups has been taking place chiefly in middle-east region. Palestinian militant groups launched rocket-missle attacked American embassy located at green zone where Republic of Korea’s embassy is also located December 8th, 2023. It is noteworthy that American army base and consulate general around Erbil region were attacked with missile and aerial drones which were launched by Palestinian and IS militant groups.
Thus it is fact that the terror risk is increasing around Korean embassy and diplomatic mission offices. Japanese government made security contract with German private security company since two Japanese diplomats had been shot to death by terrorists while local security guards ran away from the terror site in Nov. 29th, 2003.
In case of United States of America, U.S. marines takes in charge of security on embassy once U.S. government judged the local pubic security is unstable. Therefore the main purpose of this study is to provide basic empirical research data to install such a system that can contribute to improve counter-terrorism capability and to secure the safety of diplomats in middle-east regions.
To achieve such academical purposes, this paper reviewed the overall counter-terror protection and security-guard status of Korean embassy and its diplomats at the region using Delphi survey with counter-terror and security professionals. Professional survey has mainly focused such sample group as Police-Special Operation Unit who had been dispatched to Iraq, Libya and other middle-east regions.
Direction for the Introduction of the Online Search System
Authors:   The Korean Association for Terrorism Studies, Lee Sungdae
Published: February 2025

This article is about online search system, which has been receiving increasing attention recently in the current reality where rapid and accurate acquisition of digital information is becoming the key in criminal investigation. There can be no disagreement that various legal and institutional devices are necessary for efficient acquisition and management of digital information in future criminal procedures, but online search has a risk of infringement of fundamental rights in a wide range and intensity, so in order to fully introduce it, it is necessary to strictly limit the legal requirements including the scope of permission.
In order to seek the direction of introduction of this online search system in its own way, we looked at the meaning of the online search system and the necessity of its introduction (Ⅱ), the legislative status of Germany, which has already introduced the online search system (Ⅲ), and the direction for introducing the online search system in Korea's criminal procedures in the future (Ⅳ). In conclusion, the online search system has the potential for a wide range of violations of fundamental rights compared to other similar investigative methods, so it is necessary to approach its introduction cautiously. However, it is clear that the recent pattern of crimes is deeply hidden in online spaces, so it has reached a point where it is necessary to consider online searches as a special measure. In particular, it is seen that the difficulty of collecting evidence due to the characteristics of online spaces provides a certain degree of legitimacy for introducing it, despite the high possibility of violations of fundamental rights due to online searches. In order to minimize the possibility of violations of fundamental rights due to the introduction of online searches, it is suggested to refer to the matters reviewed during the introduction of the online search system in Germany and the substantive and procedural requirements of the online search system introduced in the current German criminal procedure law. Accordingly, as a prerequisite for introducing online search, it was pointed out that efforts should be made to clarify the scope of the concept of online search, limit the crimes subject to online search to sexual violence against children and adolescents in online spaces, and strictly establish the requirements for allowing online search in terms of substance and procedure. In addition, it was emphasized that it is necessary to establish a third independent organization in charge of selecting, storing, and managing collected data as a safety device to minimize privacy infringement due to online search.
Analysis of the Political Implications of North Korea's Declaration of a Hostile Two-state Relationship
Authors:   The Korean Association for Terrorism Studies, Jo Min Hee
Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the political implications of North Korea's declaration of an 'antagonistic two-state relationship,' focusing on the political background of the declaration, changes in Kim Jong-un's unification strategy toward South Korea, and its impact on inter-Korean relations and the international community. The declaration is a policy intended to invalidate South Korea's grounds for intervention in North Korea under the pretext of unification, thereby deeming South Korean involvement illegal. This antagonistic two-state theory is based on political intentions to exploit U.S.-Russia and U.S.-China conflicts and to enhance North Korea-Russia cooperation, thereby strengthening military power and escalating conflicts between the two Koreas. Through an antagonistic relationship with South Korea, North Korea can assert its legitimacy in the international community and solidify its strategic doctrine towards the South. In this context, South Korea needs to consistently advocate for peaceful unification under a liberal democratic system while strengthening the South Korea-U.S.-Japan alliance, enhancing mutual dependence with China, and promoting mutual interests with Russia.

A Study on the Utilization of Private Security for Prevention of Terrorism in Large-Scale Events
Authors:   The Korean Association for Terrorism Studies, Lee Dae Kwon
Published: February 2025

This paper studied the use of private security to prevent terrorism and congestion accidents in the crowd-crowded situations of multi-crowd at large-scale events. Therefore, related theories were examined, and the contents were analyzed based on representative cases of large-scale event terrorism and congestion accidents abroad. For the analysis of the study, we looked at the terrorist cases of the Boston Marathon bombings in the United States in 2013, the simultaneous terrorist attacks in Paris in France in 2015, and the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka in 2019, and the congestion accidents of the Akashi Summer Festival in Japan in 2001, the Duisburg Love Parade Festival in Germany in 2010, and the Itaewon Halloween Festival in Korea in 2022.
According to the study, first, it is necessary to establish a private security system so that terrorist prevention activities in multiple transport situations can be systematically carried out by actively utilizing private security in accordance with congestion and traffic guidance security tasks. Second, in large-scale events, it is essential to deploy specialized private security personnel to prevent terrorism and prepare measures for safe events. Third, it is necessary to respond to terrorism prevention and congestion accidents through real-time monitoring by introducing AI counterterrorism equipment and platforms for the prevention of multi-crowd terrorism. Fourth, by seeking ways to utilize mobile bollards, it is necessary to prevent the phenomenon of cluster stay and to prevent vehicle collision terrorism or congestion accidents.
A Critical Review of the Legislation Regarding Maritime Terrorism
Authors:   The Korean Association for Terrorism Studies, Kim Hyun Woo
Published: February 2025

It can be agreed that today's international society is exposed to various crises, but the greatest crisis is international terrorism. However, the international community has set its goal of establishing prevention and punishment of terrorism by enacting treaties between countries for each type of terrorism since the international legal definition of terrorism has not yet been established. Maritime terrorism is no exception. In this situation, the concept of piracy under the UNCLOS has the limitation that it cannot include terrorists with political motives and objectives. The 1988 SUA Convention stipulates a very wide range of types of unlawful acts of violence, but it has the limitation that it cannot regulate all types of maritime terrorism. However, the SUA Convention can be positively evaluated as different from previous Anti-Terrorism Acts in that it imposes an obligation on the parties to the convention to prosecute or extradite perpetrators who have committed crimes. The crime of maritime robbery requires legislative supplementation in order to fill in the gaps in the regulation of maritime terrorism under Korea Criminal Law.
A Study on Stalking Crimes and Therapeutic Police Activities
Authors:   The Korean Association for Terrorism Studies, Song Gi-Bok
Published: February 2025

Stalking is a crime that causes physical and mental damage to individuals and causes great anxiety in society. Stalking crimes are difficult to prevent crimes with simple severe punishment because the behavior and psychology are complex due to the perpetrator's self-centered thinking, lack of empathy, schizophrenia or paranoia, borderline personality disorder, and distorted perception of reality. Therefore, more active intervention is needed by reviewing effective evaluation and treatment measures to prevent stalking crimes. If therapeutic elements are included in emergency measures and emergency measures under the current ｢Stalking Punishment Act｣, the police's therapeutic intervention can be strengthened from the stage before the injunction is issued under the ｢Stalking Punishment Act｣.
This paper proposes therapeutic police activities that prevent stalking under the ｢Stalking Punishment Act｣, protect victims, and prevent perpetrators from committing crimes again. To this end, stalking behavior is recognized as a curable problem from a medical perspective, and the definition, purpose, and main elements of therapeutic police activities are established and the basis is presented accordingly. In order to obtain therapeutic effects on stalking crimes, the direction of therapeutic police activities is suggested by the role of the police as a supporter, integrated counseling, securing professional manpower, and expanding restorative police activities.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to delve deeper into the effectiveness of evangelism in the context of the Industry 4.0 era, particularly in carrying out the great commission as stated in Matthew 28:18-20. Qualitative method with a literature review approach is employed to explore this, gathering insights from sources such as the Bible, literature, journals, and related documents. The findings indicate that evangelism in the Industry 4.0 era holds significant potential as an effective tool in fulfilling the great commission. Advancements in communication technology enable the widespread dissemination of the Gospel message through social media and other digital platforms, reaching a broader audience. However, the importance of utilizing this technology wisely, while considering values such as community and information accuracy, cannot be overlooked. Therefore, this study recommends the development of evangelism strategies that integrate technology with these values to ensure success in fulfilling the great commission effectively. Thus, the use of technology must be guided wisely to align with Biblical teachings and support the mission of evangelism optimally, ensuring the effective and accurate delivery of the Gospel message to a wider audience

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY INDICATORS ACROSS EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Authors: Andreea Daniela Giuca , Steliana Rodino
Published: February 2025

Circular economy is a development strategy that is based on the principle of reduction, reuse and recycling, also called the 3-R principle aiming to create a closed-loop system where the outputs of one process become the inputs for another, fostering efficiency and resilience. The development of the circular economy by production sectors involves implementation of sustainable practices working towards minimizing waste, optimizing resource efficiency by use of by-products and regenerate natural systems. In agrofood sector, this can be practically translated in various strategies such as recycling organic waste to create fertilisers for soil enrichment, employing precision farming techniques to minimize input use while maximizing yields, adopting agroecology practices to enhance biodiversity and soil health, and promoting local food systems to reduce transportation emissions. In this context, the purpose of the paper is to analyse the dynamics of circular economy indicators with impact on the agrifood sector at the level of the EU countries, thus comparing the diversity of circular economy implementation levels.

Rochers et sources à la naissance d’un sanctuaire oraculaire
Authors: Jacquemin Anne , Laroche Didier
Published: February 2025

Résumé
Si les auteurs anciens ont été sensibles à la forme en théâtre du sanctuaire de Delphes et aux conséquences sonores de ce fait, les
premières mentions de l’homérique « rocheuse Pythô » se réfèrent à l’abondance de rochers présents sur le site. Des pierres liées
au mythe ou à l’histoire ont formé le paysage en lien avec les sources, la purificatrice Castalie, l’inspiratrice Cassôtis. Toujours
présents, toujours actifs, blocs tombés des Phédriades, eaux jaillissantes enchantent les poètes mais inquiètent les responsables
modernes du site, ils sont aussi l’occasion de rouvrir des dossiers comme celui de la « fontaine dite des Muses » et du sanctuaire
de Néoptolème.

Abstract
If ancient authors were sensitive to the theatre-like shape of the sanctuary at Delphi and the sonorous consequences of this fact,
the first mentions of the Homeric “rocky Pythô” refer to the abundance of rocks on the site. Stones linked to myth or history have
formed the landscape in connection with the springs, the purifying Castalie and the inspiring Cassôtis. Always present, always
active, the fallen boulders of the Phaedriads and the gushing waters have enchanted poets and worried modern site managers
alike and are also an opportunity to reopen issues such as the “Fountain of the Muses” and the sanctuary of Neoptolemos.

The Herakleion of Komi on the Island of Lemnos (Greece): Center of a Productive Landscape
Authors: Caruso Davide
Published: February 2025

Résumé
Le sanctuaire d’Héraclès se dressait sur le plateau d’une colline surplombant le profond golfe de Moudros ainsi que les principales
routes de la région orientale de Lemnos, dans une position centrale par rapport aux vastes plaines cultivées et aux lagunes
côtières. Les structures d’époque classique ont été identifiées au début du xixe siècle et visitées par A. Conze au milieu du xixe
siècle, suivi par C. Fredrich C. Picard et A.G. Reinach au début du xxe siècle. En 1939, la zone en terrasses des pentes de la colline
a fait l’objet de fouilles par l’École archéologique italienne d’Athènes. Sur ces pentes est apparu à l’époque classique une κώμη
(d’où le toponyme moderne Komi) atteste, comme pour le sanctuaire, également par des sources épigraphiques et habitée par
des individus de différentes origines sociales (dont des étrangers et des métèques) liés aux activités commerciales du port, aux
secteurs agricoles et miniers, ainsi qu’à une association religieuse connue sous le nom d’Orgheones.

Abstract
The sanctuary of Heracles stood on the plateau of a hill overlooking the deep Gulf of Moudros and the main roads of the
eastern region of Lemnos, in a central position in relation to the vast cultivated plains and coastal lagoons. The Classicalperiod
structures were identified in the early 19th century and visited by A. Conze in the mid-nineteenth century, followed by
C. Fredrich, C. Picard and A.G. Reinach in the early 20th century. In 1939, the terraced area on the slopes of the hill was the subject
of trial excavations by the Italian Archaeological School in Athens. On these slopes a κώμη (hence the modern toponym Komi)
appeared in classical times, attested, as for the sanctuary, also by epigraphic sources and inhabited by individuals of different
social origins (including foreigners and metecrats) linked to the commercial activities of the port, the agricultural and mining
sectors, as well as to a religious association known as Orgheones.

Résumé
Le « Piazzale dei Sacelli » à Haghia Triada en Crète est une zone qui conserve un lien avec les activités rituelles tout au long
de l'histoire du site, depuis la fondation de l'établissement au Minoen ancien jusqu'à l'époque hellénistique. La lecture du
paysage environnant, caractérisé par la présence de la mer, du fleuve Hieropotamos et du mont Ida, à la lumière de l'imagerie
cosmologique de l'âge du bronze, suggère son implication dans le choix du lieu pour les pratiques cultuelles.

Abstract
The so-called Piazzale dei Sacelli at Ayia Triada in Crete is an area that retains a connection to ritual activities throughout
the site’s history, from the foundation of the settlement in Ancient Minoan period to the Hellenistic era. The reading of the
surrounding landscape, characterised by the presence of the sea, the river Hieropotamos and Mount Ida, in the light of the
cosmological imagery of the Bronze Age, suggests its involvement in the choice of the place for cult practices.

Authors: Mohammed Ajmi Abd  , Alaa Y. Ali
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this work is to enhance the ability of the receiver for increasing in temperature absorbing, firstly achieving a rapid rise the temperature in a relatively short time through geometric variables, and secondly, achieving higher temperatures and maintaining them over time for long periods using nano-coatings.The present study related to the development of parabolic dish solar concentrator as a design by using the concept of a glass house with an attempt to invent and manufacture small-sized secondary reflectors to be placed inside the greenhouse which is placed on the side of the receiver at an angle of 45° to reflect the rays that may pass directly without passing through the receiver. The three primary modifications include, copper receiver, a glassy spherical cover, and secondary reflectors. A copper tube is made up of coil in spiral shape and it is fixed in the focus of dish to obtain maximum solar energy. The higher absorber temperature was 58°C  with out any modification.The absorber temperature increased with first modification to( 87°C,50%), by using second modification (a glassy spherical ) it was found that the glass cover improved the rapid and greater temperature rise which increased to (132°C, 137%), Also by using of a glassy spherical cover with secondary reflectors (third modification), the increasing absorber temperature are raised to (162°C ,179%). The temperature of the receiver will be less lost with an increase in wind speed in the second and third modifications.Thirdly, a nanocoating was used for each of (CuO, TiO2) to determine the extent to which it is possible to achieve an increase in the absorbed temperature for a relatively long time without any modification  once which increased to (71°C,22.4% for CuO nanocoating) and decreased to (50C, -60% for TiO2  nanocoating). Using the third modification with nanocoating and for a relatively long period time, this research found that the temperature increased (175°C,201 % for CuO nanocoating), and ( 115 C, 98% for TiO2  nanocoating).This means that the nanocoating of (TiO2) without an air-tight cover leads to a decrease in the absorption efficiency compared to the absorbing surface alone, but it increases with the use of the third modification, while the coating with (CuO) increases the absorbed temperature in both cases and is more efficient than titanium oxide, the higher temperature difference of the nanocoating is due to higher thermal conductivity of CuO nanoparticles.These results can enhance the improvement of designs used for the same purpose in the future.
Factors Influencing Adherence to Combined Antiretroviral Therapy among HIV-Infected Adolescents in Machakos County, Kenya

Purpose: This study investigated factors influencing adherence to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) among HIV-infected adolescents in Machakos County, Kenya.
Methodology: The study applied a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data from structured questionnaires and medical records, along with qualitative data from key informant interviews, were analyzed to understand the impact of stigma/discrimination, healthcare factors, social support, and socio-demographic characteristics on adolescents' adherence to cART.
Findings: The study found that reliable availability of antiretroviral drugs, caregiver support, and a supportive healthcare environment were crucial for maintaining treatment regimens. Financial barriers, transportation costs, and system failures were identified as challenges to adherence. Inferential statistical analysis revealed significant factors affecting adherence: frequency of clinic visits, time to receive medication, and treatment by staff. Frequency of clinic visits showed a negative correlation with adherence probability, indicating that more frequent visits were associated with higher adherence. Surprisingly, a longer time spent at the clinic was positively correlated with adherence, suggesting that more time spent at the clinic may reflect more comprehensive care. Poor treatment by staff negatively impacted adherence highlighting the need for better patient-staff interactions. Social support was also crucial, with 82.8% of respondents having someone accompany them to appointments, 89.4% having support to remember medication, and 97.6% receiving support from the clinic. Most social support came from family members (63.3%), followed by hospital staff (59.5%), with notable dissatisfaction from community (26.8%) and friends (26.8%). Demographic factors, such as age, level of education, living with extended family, and ART regimen, also influenced adherence. Age was negatively associated with adherence, with each additional year decreasing adherence likelihood by 4%. Primary education completion was linked to an 81% higher chance of non-adherence. Living with extended family positively influenced adherence increasing it by 23%. The ART regimen TDF/3TC/DTG was associated with a 28% decrease in adherence compared to ABC/3TC/LPV/r.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Recommendations include enhancing support systems, improving healthcare experiences, tailoring interventions, and optimizing clinic visits to address these barriers. In conclusion, addressing determinants such as demographic, clinical, social, and healthcare-related factors can lead to targeted interventions that enhance adherence rates and improve health outcomes for HIV-infected adolescents. The study's findings provide valuable insights for healthcare providers and policymakers to develop strategies that support this vulnerable population in Machakos County and beyond.

Ideology in Climate Change News: A Scoping Review
Authors: Chao Sun , Fakhruddin Wan Farah Wani Wan
Published: February 2025

This study aims to map and analyze the existing literature on ideology in climate change news, focusing on the geographical distribution of studies, methodological approaches, prevailing themes, and the interaction between media and political discourse. The review seeks to identify gaps in current research, particularly concerning under-represented regions and ideological framings in developing nations, to lay the groundwork for future investigations in this field. The ideological framing of climate change news plays a crucial role in shaping public perception and influencing policy discussions. However, most current studies predominantly focus on developed countries, especially the United States, while neglecting perspectives from developing regions. Although some research investigates ideologies in climate change news, there remains a limited understanding of how these ideological narratives differ among countries. This scoping review addresses these gaps by synthesizing existing evidence and proposing areas that require further investigation. The inclusion criteria for this assessment are designed to ensure a thorough and rigorous examination of ideology in climate change news, restricting the evaluation to original research published in peer-reviewed journals. The findings indicate that the ideology in climate change news is closely linked to politics but varies significantly across different countries. For example, in Finland, modern media, nationalism, and responsibility for carbon emissions are increasingly interconnected. In contrast, studies on climate change news in the United States primarily focus on the impact of partisanship on ideology. Overall, there is a limited body of literature related to ideologies in climate change news, with most articles acknowledging an incomplete sample and focusing on a single country. Future research should expand to a more cross-cultural context and employ more comprehensive and advanced content analysis methods.
Cross-Docking Practices and Distribution Efficiency in Senegal
Authors: Ndiaye Aminata
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The purpose of this article was to analyze cross-docking practices and distribution efficiency in Senegal.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: In Senegal, cross-docking has notably enhanced distribution efficiency despite infrastructural challenges. Firms employing cross-docking improved operational efficiency by up to 10% and reduced lead times by 13% through better load consolidation and real-time coordination. However, limitations in IT infrastructure and standardized protocols still hinder optimal performance. Overall, while cross-docking is transforming distribution networks, further investments are needed to sustain these gains.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Just-in-time (JIT) production theory, Supply chain integration theory & Diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory may be used to anchor future studies on cross-docking practices and distribution efficiency in Senegal. Organizations should standardize cross‐docking protocols and invest in advanced IT systems that support real‐time tracking and automated sorting to minimize handling times. Collaborative efforts between government, academia, and industry are essential to tailor these policies to current market realities.
