Combating crises from below: Social responses to polycrisis in Europe
Authors:   Maastricht University
Published: June 2023

How can the convergence of multiple cascading crises create a broader disruptive reality of ‘polycrisis’ in society? How do specific social groups and communities develop purposeful responses to the distinctive forms of insecurity and suffering generated by an enduring polycrisis? Through an exploration of multiple types of crises in a variety of geographical settings in Europe and the United Kingdom, the chapters compiled in this book offer fresh insight into how particular groups of people work to combat polycrises ‘from below’. Cumulatively, the chapters offer an interdisciplinary look at the notion of ‘crisis’ by considering how multiple kinds of crisis (ecology, health, economy, democracy, spirituality, etc.) intersect in concrete social settings to produce localized situations of polycrisis characterized by distinctive ‘geometries’ of crises within crises. The first segment of the book offers some novel conceptual approaches to the inter-disciplinary study of crisis politics ‘from below’. The second part offers a thematically cohesive series of case studies that shed light on the question of how different sets of actors in particular settings across Europe and the United Kingdom have engaged with entrenched polycrisis. The cases range from single mothers, migrants and gentrifying neighbourhoods on the one hand, to social movement activists and new age spiritualist groups on the other.

Measuring Relative Worth of Antecedents of Investors’ Company and Market- Regulatory Linked Risk Perception in Equity Market: An RII Approach
Authors: Borah Navajit , Awungshi Yarso 
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The focus of this study is to measure the relative worth of antecedents of perceived risk in equity market and contrast the same across socio economic characteristics.

Theoretical framework: Risk perception is crucial for equity investors as it influences their investment decisions. In this study the risk perception of the retail investors about the antecedents of risk, relative worth wise, was tried to be tested through13 antecedents grouped under two dimensions i.e., Company and Market- Regulatory Linked Information based on age and income groups.

Design/methodology/approach: The study used descriptive design. 204 retail investors were surveyed from Jorhat, India. The Relative Importance Index (RII) and Kruskal- Wallis test were used to measure and compare the antecedents.

Findings: The study found that under Company-Linked Information, "Market share" and "Composition and fame etc., of Board of Directors of the companies" were the most and least influential antecedents. Secondly, "Further Public Offer" and "Trends in the Fluctuations in the price of Gold" were the most and least influential antecedents under Market-Regulatory Linked Information. Moreover, retail investors' risk perception significantly differed across three income groups under the Company -linked information.

Research, practical and social implications: The equity market investors, data analyst and academicians may be benefited by depending on more objectively carved out relative importance of the antecedents based on the findings of this study.

Originality/value: The value of the research lies in its endeavor to prioritize the antecedents that potentially impact the risk behaviour of investors, thereby facilitating informed decision-making.
Effect of the New Standard of Leasing (PSAK 73 Adopts IFRS 16) on Firm Value During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Nugroho Faiz Siraj , Gantyowati Evi 
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This research aims to examine impact of high lease numbers based on PSAK 73 and PSAK 30 on firm value.

Theoretical framework: The PSAK 73 (IFRS 16 adoption) mandates the reclassification of operating leases as finance leases, leading to an increase in both assets and liabilities of the company. This change, coupled with the challenging economic conditions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, can lead into a potential decrease in firm's value.

Design/methodology/approach: The study uses purposive sampling of firms unaffected during the pandemic, such as food and beverage, agriculture, telecommunications, chemical, and pharmaceutical subsectors listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2017 to 2021 and multiple regression is used to test the hypothesis

Findings: The research findings suggest a positive relationship between the increase in lease amounts under PSAK 73 and firm value during the pandemic in Indonesia. Additionally, the study reveals a negative relationship between lease amounts under the old standard and firm value prior to the pandemic.

Research, Practical, & Social Implications: The implementation of PSAK 73 in 2020 is appropriate, it has a positive effect on firm value

Originality/value: The study’s originality is the impact of PSAK 73 on firm value in abnormal economic conditions that have not been done in previous research.

As fortes chuvas geram enchentes e inundações, comprometendo a qualidade de vida da população local e causando danos significativos à economia. A bacia do rio Sirinhaém é constituída por rios perenes e promove vazões regularizadas significativas. As fortes chuvas que ocorreram em julho de 2010 causaram, por exemplo, grandes consequências às unidades de saúde básica, unidades de ensino e habitações nos municípios de Barra de Guabiraba, Palmeirinha, Cortês e Gameleira. Dessa forma, o estudo tem como objetivo o mapeamento e a identificação de áreas vulneráveis à inundação utilizando a metodologia AHP, desenvolvida por Saaty em 1970, na bacia do rio Sirinhaém. A metodologia inicialmente atribui grau de importância para as variáveis estudadas, sendo elas: altitude, declividade, tipo de solo, uso e ocupação do solo, e em seguida aplica a álgebra de mapas utilizando o software QGIS. O mapeamento resultante mostra uma região majoritariamente com baixa a moderada vulnerabilidade, apresentando alta vulnerabilidade apenas em áreas de baixas altitudes e declividades, como no exultório da bacia e zonas próximas aos rios.Palavras-chave: vulnerabilidade; inundação; Processo Hierárquico Analítico (AHP). Flood vulnerability analysis in the Sirinhaém river basin using the Analytic Hierarchy Process method A B S T R A C THeavy rains generate river floods and flash floods, compromising the quality of life of the local population and causing significant damage to the economy. The Sirinhaém river is constituted by perennial rivers and provides a significant capacity of regularized flows. The heavy rains that occurred in July 2010 had, for example, great consequences for basic health units, teaching units and homes at Barra de Guabiraba, Palmeirinha, Cortês and Gameleira. Thus, the study aims to map and the identify areas vulnerable to flooding using the AHP methodology, developed by Saaty in 1970. This methodology initially assigns a degree of importance to the variables studied, namely: altitude, slope, soil type, land use and occupation, and then applies map algebra using the QGIS software. The mapping results revel a region mostly with low to moderate vulnerability, with hight vulnerability seen only in areas of lower altitude and slopes as seen in the basin exutory and river zones.Keywords: vulnerability. flooding.

Authors: Sopian Sopian , Johantri Bagas , Aprilia Rachma 
Published: June 2023

West Papua has a relatively high risk of corruption during the implementation of its public procurement. It is critical to recognize that public procurement business processes are analyzed as an ecosystem with interactions between actors. This research aims to determine the need for a conducive ecosystem for public procurement (PBJP) in the West Papua province and propose recommendations for improving or increasing the credibility of public procurement. This research is qualitative because primary data are obtained through interviews and forum group discussions with selected participants. The results of the study show that the public procurement ecosystem consists of Budget User Authorities (KPA) or Contract Officers (PPK), Working Units for Public Procurement (UKPBJ), Vendors, Internal Control, and Regulators who are credible procurement actors as focal offers. Examining each actor's issues has led to the conclusion that to boost the credibility of public procurement goals. It is necessary to strengthen leadership commitment, improve the quality of human resources, and simplify laws. The research findings are expected to assist practitioners and policymakers in understanding why there is a lack of public procurement ecosystem in West Papua and propose the necessary corrective policies.

Video Steganography Technique Based on Enhanced Moving Objects Detection Method
Authors: Jebur Mithal Hadi , Joda Fanar Ali , Naser Mohammed Abdullah 
Published: June 2023

Video steganography has become a popular option for protecting secret data from hacking attempts and common attacks on the internet. However, when the whole video frame(s) are used to embed secret data, this may lead to visual distortion.
Materials and Methods:
This work is an attempt to hide sensitive secret image inside the moving objects in a video based on separating the object from the background of the frame, selecting and arranging them according to object's size for embedding secret image. The proposed approach reverses the secret image bits and uses XOR technique between the reversed bits and the detected moving object bits for embedding. The proposed approach provides more security and imperceptibility as the moving objects are used for embedding, so it is difficult to notice the changes in the moving objects instead of using background area for embedding in the video. Further development to the proposed approach in the area of video steganography has been done by applying spatial model in combination with statistical model. Additional LSB styles have been also applied to evaluate the ability of the proposed approach in detecting moving objects. In addition to evaluating the robustness of the proposed approach against different attacks such as salt and pepper noise and median filtering.
Results:
The experimental results showed the better visual quality of the stego video with PSNR values exceeding 70 dB, this indicates that the proposed method works without causing much distortion in the original video and transmitted secret message.
Conclusion:
The experimental proof of the proposed approach can successfully detect and embed secret image. Also, it provides more security and imperceptibility as the data was hidden in the moving objects and the updates in the moving objects are difficult to notice rather than the static region in a video
