The proposition of “harmony higher than justice” was initiated by Li Zehou in 2007. It implies a hierarchical consideration rather than value assessment, thus schemed to reveal at least five aspects: (1) Harmony on this account is to be preconditioned by justice. (2) Harmony largely stems from human emotion instead of human rationality. (3) There are three forms of harmony in the societal, personal and eco-environmental domains. (4) What makes the three forms of harmony possible involves some key notions that vouchsafe a theoretical ground and a primary part of the “Chinese religious morality”. (5) The morality of this kind procures a regulative principle to facilitate an appropriate constitution of “modern social ethics” with regard to harmony as the ultimate destination of the future society and world alike. Accordingly, the proposition can be employed to further develop “the Chinese application” and impact “the Western substance”.

<span>The fast and continuous technological change that is characteristic of the information society we find ourselves in has demonstrable impact on the way librarians go about their business. This paper offers a scenario of technological changes already in the pipeline and yet to come, and how those changes will impact the role of librarians in the future. One of the main concerns of this paper is the continued relevance of information professionals as infomediaries in our future society.</span><div><span style="color: #303030; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>

The technologies of the future society can make a super connective society where everything is connected and organically interacted, and it promotes “Hyper-Connected”, “Hyper-Intelligent”, "Hyper-Real" as it is possible to become intellectual by techniques such as artificial intelligence and big data analysis. To find out the key triggers by extracting the technologies with these characteristics and identifying what factors and forms are used allows us to grasp changes in the industry due to the rapidly changing domestic environment and the influence of innovation technologies. According to the analysis, the key triggers of major technologies in information society are keywords such as security, technology, service, virtual, and finance which have a great chance to converge with other technologies. The implications of this study are as follows. First, key technologies of domestic information society were identified based on a huge amount of reliable news data. In addition, Network Analysis based on Data, which has increased the frequency of studies all over the field including computer science, sociology and business administration, is applied to predicting the future. Based on this, the methodology has been proposed that can be used to predict the pattern of technology development or notable technologies in the future. This study wasn’t conducted only on one detailed technology, but comprehensively on major technologies extracted in the era of 4th Industrial Revolution and presents Black Swan Prediction to enhance competitiveness of domestic industry in related technologies and create new added value.

Optimal Design of Combined Contingent Claims: Theory and Applications. In “Combined Custom Hedging: Optimal Design, Noninsurable Exposure, and Operational Risk Management”, Paolo Guiotto and Andrea Roncoroni develop a normative framework for the optimal design, value assessment, and operations management integration of financial derivatives. Most business and operating revenues entail a mix of financially insurable and noninsurable risk. A risk-averse firm may face them by positioning in a pair of financial derivatives with optimal bespoke payoff functions; one claim is written on the insurable term, and the other claim is written on any observable index exhibiting correlation to the noninsurable term. On a theoretical ground, the authors 1) state the problem in a general setup and prove existence and uniqueness of the optimal pair of combined claims, 2) show that the optimal payoff functions satisfy a Fredholm integral equation, and 3) assess the incremental benefit the firm obtains by switching from the optimal single-claim custom hedge to the optimal combined custom hedge they propose. On an experimental ground, they show that 1) the optimal combined custom hedge would be empirically relevant for a highly risk-averse firm facing a market shock shown during the first period of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, 2) integration with the optimal procurement in a generalized newsvendor model leads to a significant improvement in both risk and return, and: 3) this gain can be traded off for a substantial enhancement in operational flexibility.
