This study aims to analyze the role of the North Sumatra Provincial Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) in controlling street children in the Kampung Lalang area, on the border between Medan City and Deli Serdang Regency, and to identify the obstacles encountered in its implementation. The research method used a qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation techniques. The research informants consisted of Satpol PP officials, relevant social agencies, and street children who were the objects of control. The results showed that the role of Satpol PP had been carried out based on Biddle's (1986) role theory, which includes normative, functional, coordinative, social expectation, and rehabilitative roles. Although the normative and coordinative roles were carried out quite well, the implementation of the rehabilitative and social roles was not optimal due to limited resources and weak cross-sector coordination. Internal obstacles included limited personnel, facilities, and budget, while external obstacles included family economic factors, low educational awareness, and a lack of guidance facilities. This study recommends strengthening the institutional capacity of Satpol PP, inter-agency synergy, and a child protection-based approach to enforcement.
This paper investigates the impact of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance on corporate labor investment efficiency in the Chinese market. We find that ESG performance can enhance labor investment efficiency. Additionally, this paper identifies that managerial myopia and the lack of financial expertise among management can hinder the positive effects of ESG on labor investment efficiency. Further, we discover that ESG can improve labor investment efficiency through the mediating role of R&D investments. Moreover, ESG tends to be more effective in enhancing labor investment efficiency in non-state-owned enterprises, in enterprises with low labor intensity, and in those that are in the growth or maturity stages of their business cycle. The conclusions remain robust after addressing issues of endogeneity, selection bias, and other methodological concerns. Overall, this paper enriches our understanding of the relationship between ESG and corporate labor investment efficiency.

The article is aimed at studying the model of Ukraine’s integration into the Digital Single Market, analyzing the achievements and challenges of digitalization of Business-State-Community. The article examines the process of Ukraine’s integration into the Digital Single Market of the European Union, which is a strategically important stage for strengthening the position of the national economy in the context of global digital transformation. This process opens up new prospects for Ukraine, in particular, access to modern technologies, the development of electronic services and increased competitiveness in the global market. At the same time, integration into the EU digital space requires solving complex tasks, including infrastructure renewal, introduction of innovations, and adaptation of national legislation to European standards. The main benefits of this process are analyzed, such as improving access to digital markets, facilitating bilateral trade and stimulating the development of the IT sector. Particular attention is paid to the role of e-commerce as a key driver of economic growth. The article considers the opportunities provided by e-commerce to Ukrainian enterprises to enter the EU markets, as well as the positive impact of this segment on consumers due to the increase in the range of services and goods. Among the important aspects of integration, the issues of cybersecurity, which are becoming more and more relevant in the face of modern challenges, are considered. Ukraine, which is already facing persistent cyberattacks, needs to increase the level of protection of critical infrastructure, State databases and personal information of citizens. Furthermore, integration into the EU digital market includes the introduction of digital identity, which is a prerequisite for ensuring secure access to digital services. The authors underline the importance of harmonization of legislation for compliance with European standards in such key areas as personal data protection, e-commerce, digital taxation and regulation of the telecommunications market. The relevant changes are aimed at creating a favorable environment for businesses and citizens, stimulating investment and improving interaction with partners in the EU. Despite the noticeable progress in digitalization, Ukraine faces a number of challenges that hinder full integration into the Digital Single Market. In particular, these are cyber threats related to the ongoing military aggression, as well as digital ethics issues that require the development of clear rules and standards for the responsible use of technology. The problem of the digital divide between different regions of the country, which affects the availability of digital services for citizens and businesses, is considered separately. An important aspect is the support from the European Union, which includes financial, technical and expert assistance in implementing reforms and rebuilding infrastructure destroyed by the war. Without this support, it will be difficult for Ukraine to achieve rapid integration into the EU’s Digital Single Space. The article also emphasizes that success in this process depends on the coordination of actions of the government, business and international partners. Ukraine’s integration into the EU Digital Single Market is not only a strategic task, but also an important step towards ensuring economic stability, technological development and integration into the European community on the principles of transparency, innovation and security.

Purpose: This study aims to understand the role of boycott intention in mediating the effects of consumer ethnocentrism, religious animosity, legitimacy, and brand importance on brand image, loyalty, and product judgment among Starbucks consumers in Indonesia.
Method: This study was conducted using quantitative methods to test the proposed theoretical model. Online questionnaires were distributed to 406 respondents to measure several variables, including consumer ethnocentrism, religious animosity, legitimacy, brand importance, boycott intention, boycott behavior, brand image, loyalty, and product judgment. The data were collected cross-sectionally from Starbucks consumers in Indonesia. The data analysis method used was Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).
Result: This study shows that the indirect relationships from consumer ethnocentrism, religious animosity, and legitimacy to boycott behavior, through boycott intention, have a negative effect. In contrast, the indirect relationship from brand importance to boycott behavior, through boycott intention, has a positive effect. Specifically, the higher the levels of consumer ethnocentrism, animosity, and legitimacy, the higher the boycott intention. This suggests that consumers in Indonesia who strongly identify with moral, cultural, and religious solidarity are more likely to have an intention to boycott.
Practical Implications for Economic Growth and Development: This study provides insights for companies on how to develop transparent and responsive communication strategies to address issues that may trigger boycott intentions.
RESUMO Este artigo é uma pesquisa sobre organizações industriais. Pretendemos esclarecer o estado da arte dos estudos empíricos sobre a concorrência industrial.

This article presents a segmentation analysis that categorizes industrial design firms based on levels of design orientation. It could serve as a useful framework for designers to tailor their marketing strategies to specific groups or companies. We conducted both qualitative research involving experts, and quantitative research using a sample of 201 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Spanish furniture and lighting industries. The design capacity building approach of design orientation, which was determined by evaluating scores across seven dimensions of the design orientation scale, was adopted based on: 1) awareness of the benefits of design; 2) design sensibility; 3) basic design skills; 4) specialized design skills; 5) involving others; 6) design organization; and, 7) innovation skills. The results identified three clusters with different behaviors: “full design orientation” (Cluster 1), “design orientation from the top down” (Cluster 2), and “operational design orientation” (Cluster 3). This research provides a pragmatic tool for design service providers, linking design skills, design impact, and organizational performance.

Abstract In the article, we propose a comprehensive methodology of value chain analysis in the international input–output framework that introduces a new measure of value chain participation and an extended typology of value chains, with the novel inclusion of domestic value chain to address the extent of fragmentation of purely domestic production. This allows for the simultaneous analysis of both global and domestic production fragmentation, the complex patterns of their evolution and their impact on economic development. The main contribution of the proposed methodology is conceptual: it permits the measurement of all value chain paths that pass through each country-sector from production to final consumption, whether the path includes downstream linkages, upstream linkages or their combination. Empirical application of this methodology shows the importance of including domestic fragmentation in value chain analysis: The fragmentation of both global and domestic levels of production has a significant positive correlation with economic growth. This implies that the effects of global production fragmentation must be analysed together with the changing structure of the fragmentation of domestic production to obtain the whole picture, one that might provide important information for policymaking and industrial policy.

The degree of competition in the banking industry can be observed and measured by two approaches, structural and nonstructural. Based on these two approaches, there are various indicators, which are different factors and methods. This paper aims to provide calculations, determine a good indicator, and assess the competitive environment of the Thai banking industry. Specifically, there are four indicators—concentration ratio, Herfindahl–Hirschman Index, Lerner Index, and Panzar–Rosse H statistic—which are widely used to examine the efficiency and effectiveness of policies in the banking industry. The findings indicate that the Lerner Index, calculated by stochastic frontier analysis, is the most reliable indicator of the banking competition environment in Thailand. It has a range of 0.36 to 0.60 and an average value of 0.40. Furthermore, during the period of study, the degree of Thai banking competition had a tendency to increase over time, which reflects an increase in allocative efficiency of resources in the banking industry. This is in accordance with the Financial Sector Master Plan of the country. However, this result probably leads to instability of the financial system. Therefore, policy-makers should carefully regulate competition policy by considering the systematic risk of the banking system at the same time.
El estudio aplica técnicas de análisis geoespacial para identificar zonas que concentran competencias profesionales en áreas clave para apoyar la transformación productiva hacia sectores de mayor sofisticación tecnológica en un país en desarrollo como Costa Rica. Se evidencian cinco conglomerados en la Gran Área Metropolitana, que aglutinan el 76,8% de los profesionales formados durante el periodo 2000-2017 en áreas científico-tecnológicas más afines a los sectores productivos. Fuera de la región central, se encuentran cinco conglomerados con capacidades más modestas. Un segundo análisis enfocado en el talento con competencias en tecnologías digitales reproduce con escasas variantes el resultado anterior. Este patrón de distribución obstaculiza un cambio más generalizado en la matriz productiva, tanto por su elevada concentración geográfica en el centro del país, como por el perfil académico en que prevalece el nivel más bajo de cualificación. Ese perfil restringe las oportunidades de una innovación más disruptiva en tecnologías requeridas para desplazar la producción hacia actividades productivas de mayor valor.
The article is devoted to the history of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics in the period of perestroika and his transformation from the Moscow Institute of National Economy to the Russian Economic Academy. On the basis of archival materials, the author made an attempt to understand what trends formed the basis for the transformations made in the late 1980s and early 1990s, what goals and objectives the university leadership set for itself, what price and what was achieved despite all Shocks and transformations, through which the Russian state and society had to pass. The article presents an analysis of the tasks set by the leadership of the Moscow institute of national economy in the Comprehensive Program of Social and Economic Development of the Institute for the period up to 2010, adopted in 1987. Despite the fact that its implementation was corrected by historical processes, much of what was planned at the first stage was implemented and formed the basis for the modernization of the university that began then. The scientific value of the article lies in the fact that it is written with the use of previously unexplored archival materials that allow a better understanding of the processes and problems associated with the transition of the university to a self-supporting system and the introduction of profiling. In addition, the article presents the dynamics of the volume of scientific research and its funding in the university in 1987–1991.
The issue of inter-regional development imbalances and fiscal disparities into the current fiscal decentralization
issues. The toughest challenge in building fiscal decentralization not only gives funds to local governments, but
creating impact of improving the quality of public services and economic growth. Transfer to the area has
increased every year. However, this increase has not been maximized to reduce poverty, equitable distribution of
infrastructure, fiscal gap, and competitive regional economy.
Research funds for fiscal decentralization in some countries have done long before the implementation of
regional autonomy. The result will vary according to the characteristics of the area in the country. In addition to
a variety of research results, the implementation of regional transfers caused disagreement. Indonesia has a
diversity of characteristics and distribution of a wide area. An interesting question is whether the increase in
transfers to the regions to encourage regional development through capital expenditure area.
The study uses a quantitative approach that is explanatory research with two research data is local government
that receives DID for three consecutive years and areas that do not pay attention DID streak. Regression analysis
involves five independent variables, transfer funds DAU, DAK, DBH, DID, BOS seta dependent variable is the
area of capital expenditure. The research data come from reports on realization of the budget and Transfer To
The Financial Statements year period 2012-2014.
The first test results prove DAU, DAK, DBH, and DID have a significant effect on capital spending area with
probability signifkansi each less than 0.05. These results are in line with the theory of fiscal federalism. BOS
whereas no significant effect on capital spending area with p-value of 0.379. BOS as the provision of basic
education aid has not been able to provide flexibility to the budget to increase the use of capital expenditure. The
results of the second test with the data local governments do not pay attention DID streak gives similarity with the
results of the first test except variable DID no significant effect on capital spending. All variables simultaneously
affect the area of capital expenditure.
The article deals with the first exemplars of the psalms translations into French and Ukrainian. Sociohistorical factors leading to a departure from canonical languages are analyzed. Similarities and differences in the process of psalms translation into national languages are identified. Translations of psalms are spread in those countries where the national language and literature are at the stage of search and formation. At that, both in Protestant and Catholic poetry one can easily trace the tendency for the departure from the original, the manifestation of individual author’s origin due to the movements for the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation which considerably changed attitude towards individuality. The Book of Psalms, having its problematic and thematic elaboration of the expression of human feelings, distinctive lyricism, strength and intensity of emotions, bright ideas, providential vigour, precision and great simplicity in the poetic representation of religious feeling, in this case became a universal model prototext which inspired poets to its further actualization.
