Malaysian fisheries industry has dynamic and competitive development and it is not obtained without the support and sacrifices by fishermen as a backbone of this sector. This study was carried out to assess the occupational safety and health hazards of fishermen in Pontian Besar, Johor. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the current state and to propose the prevention measure for occupational safety and health issues among fishermen. The respondent consist of registered fishermen and unregistered fishermen. The tools of the research used are questionnaire and Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC) form which involves mixed method. The researchers found twenty hazard identification based on job task of the fishermen that exposed to some hazards such as ergonomic, biological, physical, psychosocial, and natural. Six out of twenty hazards (30%) are considered as low risk and seven out of twenty (35%) respectively are recognized as medium and high risk. The results of the study shows that fishermen are highly exposed to ergonomic hazard. All the suggestions for the prevention measures for the risk control of the hazards are from the officers of Pontian Area Fishermen’s Association. This research is expected to raise awareness of the occupational safety and health hazards among fishermen and will be referenced to future researcher, policy makers, and other parties to take part in development of future plans.

The Allure of the Watts Rebellion
Authors: Bouligny III Edgar 
Published: February 2024

The urban neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California, specifically concerning the African-American populations of South Central and Watts, have attained reputations of danger, poverty, and discomfort from the rebellious events conducted by its citizens in 1965: due to an urban explosion from years of societal abuse and disregard. This paper is formulated to combat such notions through a positive lens, which will accolade these neighborhoods and the efforts of constructing new spheres of healing and love in their communities. It is imperative to reframe the historical prevalence of the consistently negative image of African-American Los Angeles; Too many historians have adopted the trope of a traumatically damaged and hopeless inner city. Despite the familiar historical takes that hint toward the downfall of these black urban hubs after the Watts Rebellion, this study will instead take advantage of the absence of highlighted initiatives by artistic communities to which will be uncovered in this paper. The compilation, interpretation, and analysis of contextual histories as well as the construction of a primary source collection, the likes of what Kelly Lytle Hernandez would call a “rebel archive,”[1]will provide a different historical route in discussing the cultural boom in this region after the rebellion. The definition of Hernandez’ “rebel archive” is uncovered in this paper while recognizing artists like Noah Purifoy and the poetic conglomerate of the Watts Prophets. This paper will proceed to survey the lasting effects of the art created by these groups along with some mention to continuously visible communal organizations that permeate the nurturing of Watts through art and culture after the Rebellion.

America's Martial Culture and Its Evolution
Authors: Timothy Severtson  
Published: February 2024

This research paper attempts to answer the questions posed about martial culture in Colonial America. It ponders the importance that early Americans put on protection and the ramifications of paranoia in the colonies. Additionally, this paper examines the political ambitions of the warrior class as they turned into statesmen after retiring from the battlefield. The men who fought for independence had developed a social order in the colonies, placing themselves in positions of power. While this social order emphasized domestic security, it allowed for a pattern of racism and fear that continues today.
In the tradition of military historians such as John Shy and Don Higginbotham, this paper recognizes the early American way of war that often allowed for glorification of unjust massacres under the guise of protection. This uniquely American fighting tradition evolved to become a basis for warriors to continue their belligerency in the halls of government. In doing so, America became a country run by veterans (Washington and Jackson are great examples of the rise of martial culture to the highest office of the young nation). This has echoed through history, as voters routinely choose soldiers over scholars.
Researching data on colonial populations and presidential vetoes has yielded evidence of this evolution. The warrior class in colonial America evolved into the warrior politicians that made policies leading to atrocities against Indians, slaves, and Latin Americans. They became leaders in a nation that valued family life and the protection of it all costs.
Natural Tourism planning and sustainable tourism in Libya The case of the Derna region
Authors: Aziza Salah Abu , Boudjemaa Khalfallah 
Published: February 2024

The Derna region experienced a violent hurricane in 2023 that destroyed much of the infrastructure and residential neighborhoods. The area requires extensive reconstruction that takes into account the natural and touristic qualities of the place, beyond the obvious shortcomings in tourism planning processes. It is time to pay attention to this important sector, by adopting urban plans that are updated and modified according to circumstances in order to create a sustainable tourism project.
The Derna region in eastern Libya is one of the cities that, if it benefits from tourism urban programs adopted within a national strategy for sustainable tourism development, will constitute a tourism pole not only in Libya but also at the regional level. The area is coastal, characterized by stunning natural landscapes with the presence of the sea, valley and plateaus. It is also located within a rich tourism field that provides the practice of various types that attract tourists at different levels, capabilities and ambitions, and establishes true sustainable tourism. However, the effectiveness of the tourism sector in the region and in all cities of the Libyan country is still modest in its practice compared to the opportunities and capabilities available. It also does not have sustainability requirements, as it does not have an effective tourism plan. This requires a redoubled effort to overcome various challenges and create a sustainable future tourism project.

Published: February 2024

This study is an analysis of the causes and effects of the subprime mortgage crisis with a specific focus on the role that residential segregation and discriminatory practices played and the impact that the financial crisis had on the American South. The project delves into the inner workings behind the financial crisis and the distinctive roles of mortgage lenders, investment banks, and other financial institutions in the magnification and extension of credit risk around the world through the United States' housing and financial markets.
Many college professors were interviewed for this project, including Gary Hoover, a professor at Tulane University and the Executive Director of the Murphy Institute. He was also invited to speak at the first Nobel Peace Prize Summit to speak on the subject of the "Economics of Inequality." Two other professors who were interviewed for the article are Daniel Keniston, an assoicate professor at LSU's Department of Economics, and Brian Andrews, a senior instructor in LSU's Department of Finance, Executive Director of LSU's Real Estate Research Institute and Commerical Banking Initiative, and the Principal of Andrews Commercial Real Estate Services.
The purpose of this project is to discover the most critical effects of the financial breakdown, the extent to which repercussions were disproportionate in Black and other minority communities, and the social outcomes of the subprime mortgage crisis on the American South. This study delves into an important piece of American history and attempts to uncover the subtleties of the U.S. housing and financial markets.

Penerapan prinsip diversi dalam menangani tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh anak secara yuridis formil telah diatur di dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 Tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak. Pengaturan diversi dalam penyelesaian perkara pidana anak melalui pendekatan restorative justice berdasarkan UU Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidanan Anak, Perma No. 4 tahun 2014 tentang Tata Cara, PP No. 65 Tahun 2015 tentang pedoman diversi dengan cara melakukan Tahap Penyidikan, Tahap Penuntutan, Tahap Pemeriksaan di Pengadilan. Diversi diterapkan sejak keluarnya Perma No. 04 Tahun 2014 tanggal 24 Juli 2014 tentang Pedoman Pelaksanaan Diversi dalam Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak. Diversi dilakukan hanya untuk tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh anak yang ancaman hukuman tindak pidana tersebut dibawah 7 (tujuh tahun) dan bukan pengulangan tindak pidana. Diversi dilakukan hanya untuk tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh anak yang ancaman hukuman tindak pidana tersebut dibawah 7 (tujuh tahun) dan bukan pengulangan tindak pidana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Konsep diversi yang ideal dalam penyelesaian perkara pidana anak melalui pendekatan restoratif justice adalah penyelesaian tindak pidana anak melalui konsep dialog antara semua pihak sehingga menjadi suatu pertimbangan yang sangat penting dalam menyelesaikan perkara pidana dalam mengedepankan keadilan restoratif. Proses peradilan harus selalu mengutamakan prinsip kepentingan terbaik bagi anak, serta proses penghukuman adalah jalan terakhir (ultimum remedium) dengan tetap tidak mengabaikan hak hak anak.
ANALISIS YURIDIS MANFAAT PELAKSANAAN PENUNDAAN KEWAJIBAN PEMBAYARAN UTANG (PKPU) BAGI DEBITUR DAN KREDITUR (Studi Putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 830 K/Pdt.Sus-Pailit/2020)

PKPU menjadi suatu upaya hukum yang dapat dilakukan dengan memberikan kesempatan kepada debitur untuk melakukan restrukturisasi utang-utangnya, meliputi pembayaran seluruh atau sebagian utangnya kepada kreditor. Pengaturan pelaksanaan Penundaan Kewajiban Pembayaran Utang (PKPU) diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 37 Tahun 2004 tentang Kepailitan dan Penundaan Kewajiban Pembayaran Utang yang pada dasarnya, peraturan tentang kepailitan memiliki maksud dan tujuan untuk menghindari terjadinya perebutan atas harta kekayaan debitor yang dilakukan oleh para kreditornya. Penundaan Kewajiban Pembayaran Utang (PKPU) dalam praktik dapat memberi manfaat untuk menghindari perusahaan dari keadaan pailit. PKPU, karena perdamaian yang dilakukan melalui PKPU akan mengikat kreditur lain di luar PKPU, sehingga debitur dapat melanjutkan restrukturisasi usahanya, tanpa takut dilakukan tagihan-tagihan kreditur-kreditur yang berada di luar PKPU. Kreditur juga terjamin melalui PKPU, karena apabila terjadi pelanggaran terhadap perjanjian perdamaian tersebut, maka kreditur dapat mengajukan permohonan pembatalan perjanjian perdamaian kepada Pengadilan Niaga dan debitur akan otomatis dinyatakan pailit. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pertimbangan hukum hakim dalam putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 830 K/Pdt.Sus-Pailit/2020 adalah syarat rencana perdamaian tidak diterima atau ditolak adalah quorum, karena 2 (dua) kreditur konkuren secara aklamasi menolak Rencana Perdamaian PT. Yeyeom Design, sehingga debitur PT. Yeyeom Design harus dinyatakan pailit dengan segala akibat hukumnya.
Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Reporting on Firm Performance
Authors: Makau Sarah 
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting on firm performance.
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: Research suggests that there is a positive correlation between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reporting and firm performance. CSR reporting not only enhances a company's reputation, mitigates risks, and improves access to capital but also fosters meaningful stakeholder engagement and contributes to long-term value creation. However, it is important to note that the specific impact of CSR reporting can vary across industries and contexts, influenced by factors such as industry norms, regulatory environments, and the extent to which CSR is integrated into a company's core business strategy.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Stakeholder theory, legitimacy theory and resource-based view (RBV) may be use to anchor future studies on assessing the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting on firm performance. In practice, CSR reporting uniquely contributes by promoting integrated reporting, where financial and non-financial information is combined to offer a holistic view of a company's performance, fostering transparency and accountability. From a policy perspective, CSR reporting makes unique contributions by advocating for globally harmonized reporting standards, facilitating comparability and consistency in reporting across industries and regions.
Food Safety Regulations and Consumer Confidence
Authors: Adams Regina 
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The general purpose of this study was investigate the food safety regulations and consumer confidence.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to food safety regulations. Preliminary empirical review revealed that food safety regulations are crucial for shaping consumer confidence in the safety and quality of food products, with stricter regulations associated with higher trust levels. Measures like HACCP and labeling requirements promote transparency and accountability. However, regulatory effectiveness depends on factors like enforcement consistency and communication. Inconsistencies can erode trust, necessitating efforts to strengthen enforcement and improve communication. Contextual factors like socio-economic status influence consumer perceptions, especially in developing countries with systemic challenges. Addressing these requires targeted interventions to enhance regulatory systems and promote consumer education. Overall, ongoing research and collaboration are vital for strengthening food safety systems, regulatory compliance, and consumer trust, essential for protecting public health and well-being.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social Exchange theory, Trust theory and the Diffusion of Innovation theory may be used to anchor future studies on food safety regulations. The study provided several recommendations. It emphasized the importance of enhancing transparency and accountability within the food industry by improving communication and enforcement of regulatory standards. Additionally, the study highlighted the need for ongoing education and training initiatives to build awareness of food safety regulations. Collaboration among stakeholders, adoption of innovative technologies, and continuous evaluation of regulations were also recommended to strengthen food safety efforts and enhance consumer confidence in the safety of food products.

Abstract. We investigated long-term changes using a harmonised 22-year data set of aerosol light absorption measurements, in conjunction with air mass history and aerosol source analysis. The measurements were performed at Zeppelin Observatory, Svalbard, from 2002 to 2023. We report a statistically significant decreasing long-term trend for the light absorption coefficient. However, the last 8 years of 2016–2023 showed a slight increase in the magnitude of the light absorption coefficient for the Arctic haze season. In addition, we observed an increasing trend in the single-scattering albedo from 2002 to 2023. Five distinct source regions, representing different transport pathways, were identified. The trends involving air masses from the five regions showed decreasing absorption coefficients, except for the air masses from Eurasia. We show that the changes in the occurrences of each transport pathway cannot explain the reductions in the absorption coefficient observed at the Zeppelin station. An increase in contributions of air masses from more marine regions, with lower absorption coefficients, is compensated for by an influence from high-emission regions. The proportion of air masses en route to Zeppelin, which have been influenced by active fires, has undergone a noticeable increase starting in 2015. However, this increase has not impacted the long-term trends in the concentration of light-absorbing aerosol. Along with aerosol optical properties, we also show an increasing trend in accumulated surface precipitation experienced by air masses en route to the Zeppelin Observatory. We argue that the increase in precipitation, as experienced by air masses arriving at the station, can explain a quarter of the long-term reduction in the light absorption coefficient. We emphasise that meteorological conditions en route to the Zeppelin Observatory are critical for understanding the observed trends.
Salt intrusion dynamics in a well-mixed sub-estuary connected to a partially to well-mixed main estuary

Abstract. Salt intrusion in estuaries has been exacerbated by climate change and human activities. Previous studies have primarily focused on salt intrusion in the mainstem of estuaries, whereas those in sub-estuaries (those that branch off their main estuaries) have received less attention. During an extended La Niña event from 2021 to 2022, a sub-estuary (the East River estuary) alongside the Pearl River estuary, China, experienced severe salt intrusions, posing a threat to the freshwater supply in the surrounding area. Observations revealed that maximum salinities in the main estuary typically preceded spring tides, exhibiting significant asymmetry in salinity rise and fall over a fortnightly timescale. In contrast, in the upstream region of the sub-estuary, the variation in salinity was in phase with that of the tidal range, and the rise and fall of the salinity were more symmetrical. Inspired by these observations, we employed idealized numerical models and analytical solutions to investigate the underlying physics behind these behaviors. It was discovered that under normal dry conditions (with a river discharge of 1500 m3 s−1 at the head of the main estuary), the river–tide interaction and change in horizontal dispersion accounted for the in-phase relationship between the salinity and tidal range in the upstream region of the sub-estuary. Under extremely dry conditions (i.e., a river discharge of 500 m3 s−1 at the head of the main estuary), salinity variations were in phase with those of the tidal range in the middle as well as the upstream region of the sub-estuary. The variation in salinity in the main estuary along with those in salt dispersion and freshwater influx inside the sub-estuary collectively influenced salinity variation in the well-mixed sub-estuary. These findings have important implications for water resource management and salt intrusion prevention in the catchment area.
