AbstractMaterials scientists employ metals and alloys that involve most of the periodic table. Nonetheless, materials scientists rarely take material criticality and reuse potential into account. In this work, we expand upon lists of “critical materials” generated by national and regional governments by showing that many materials are employed predominantly as alloying elements, which can be a deterrent to recovery and reuse at end of product life and, likely as a consequence, have low functional end-of-life recycling rates, among other problematic characteristics. We thereby single out six metals for enhanced concern: dysprosium, samarium, vanadium, niobium, tellurium, and gallium. From that perspective, the use of critical metals in low concentrations in alloys unlikely to be routinely recycled should be avoided if possible. If not, provision should be made for better identification and more efficient recycling so that materials designated as critical can have increased potential for more than a single functional use.

In this article the author seeks to answer, within the context of the Indonesia state organizational system, why and how Indonesia should establish a single government authority entrusted with supervising the making of ministerial policy regulations or regional government regulations. To that purpose a comparison with other countries is conducted.  It is a fact in Indonesia that regulatory powers or function is shared by and among different ministries and by regional governments. The result of which is the problem of sectoral approach and the existence of numerous overlapping and conflicting regulations. To overcome this problem, in consideration of best practices in other countries, the author suggests the establishment of a single government agency entrusted with, inter alia, previewing ministerial or regional government draft regulations.


Significance A parallel bill requiring people to show electronic QR codes for train and air travel has been withdrawn. Both bills were halted by public opposition and President Vladimir Putin's call for a rethink. Meanwhile, 35 of Russia's 85 regions have relaxed their own restrictions ahead of the New Year holiday. Impacts Regional governments will have to face the new burden created by the Omicron variant, adding to the strain on their budgets. Substantial federal support for businesses affected by the new virus wave is unlikely. The Sputnik V booster will be introduced, although a mass roll-out is unlikely to occur before Omicron takes hold.

Purpose At exceptional times, governments are entrusted with greater authority. This creates significant concerns over governments’ transparency and accountability. This paper aims to pursue a twofold objective: assessing the patterns of open government data during the extraordinary time initiated by the COVID-19 pandemic drawing relevant policy and managerial implications regarding the future development of open data as a mechanism of accountability at times of exception. Design/methodology/approach The study follows exploratory research, relying on a web content analysis. The empirical setting is provided by 20 Italian regional governments during the COVID-19 pandemic as a shock that has triggered an exceptional time for governments. Findings Results on the desirable (extrinsic and intrinsic) characteristics of the data analyzed show that in the empirical setting investigated, open data does not enable to properly address the accountability concerns of a demanding forum at times of exception. Research limitations/implications The paper enriches the state of the art on accountability and provides both scholars and practitioners (e.g. policymakers, managers, etc.) a current reading of data-driven orientation as a stimulus to the accountability of public administrations during exceptional times. Originality/value The paper investigates open data as a condition of public accountability, assessing whether and how Italian regional governments have concretely opened their data to enable their forums to elaboration of an informed opinion about their conduct during the ongoing pandemic. This fosters the understanding of how accountability is deployed in times of exception in light of the possibilities offered by the availability of online platforms.

Several Regional Governments then implemented E-Budgeting in the preparation of the budget. One region that has implemented E-Budgeting in preparing regional budgets is Maros Regency. The research in this paper was conducted by reviewing literature, articles and using secondary data with documentation from observations via the internet. The data was obtained by monitoring the government website and the application used by the Maros Regency Government in conducting the E-Budgeting process and then conducting a descriptive qualitative analysis. The results of the study show that evaluation of the implementation of the E-Budgeting System in Budgeting in Maros Regency can be stated that at this time the electronic-based budgeting system has been implemented well but has not been fully optimal in achieving the results and benefits, this can be seen in 6 (six) criteria in the evaluation, namely effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, and responsiveness.

Urban beekeeping is gaining salience worldwide. Though beekeeping brings benefits to humanity, it has certain negative aspects. We conducted surveys in eight countries where urban beekeeping is practiced to understand the status of the governance of urban beekeeping. There were a wide variety of rules, ranging from detailed ones to the absence of any. The organizations creating regulations included regional governments, basic governments, and even NGOs. Regulatory items for urban beekeeping were biased toward safety, with few regulations of the other aspects, such as biodiversity conservation and apicultural production. We found a wide range of numerical provisions for this regulation type, with no scientific basis provided, and there is further need for improvements.

Coronavirus disease or Covid-19 is a viral infection that was first discovered in Wuhan City, China at the end of 2019. The rapid spread of the disease, the absence of a cure, accompanied by a flood of information through social media, not all of which can be trusted have caused a stigma for people related to Covid-19. The study aims to determine the impact of stigma and community behavior on Covid-19 survivors. The research method uses a literature review, searching for data sourced from PubMed, Google Scholar, Proquest, and Ebsco from March-May 2021. Data analysis was carried out descriptively. The results show that there is an increasing number of reports of public stigmatization of survivors from various environments such as family and work. Stigma arises in social behavior such as ostracizing survivors, refusing and ostracizing people who move from one area to another, ostracizing medical personnel who work in hospitals, refusing corpses because they are considered to have a virus that can be transmitted. Based on these observations, the authors conclude that the freedom of the media in presenting news to give different opinions to everyone, the lack of health educators, the number of hoax news that spread, and the different policies of the central and regional governments that make it difficult to control disease and have an impact on Covid-19 survivors in Indonesia. . rejected the corpse because it was considered that there was still a virus that could be transmitted.
