The Urgency of Strengthening the Rights and Participation of Indigenous Peoples in Realizing Sustainable Management of Customary Forest

This article aims to analyze the urgency of strengthening the rights and participation of indigenous peoples in customary forest management in Indonesia. Law No. 41/1999 on Forestry, which is still centralized in nature, has limited the rights and roles of indigenous peoples in managing their customary forests. The regulation regarding customary forest in the Forestry Law is inconsistent with protecting ecosystem carrying capacity and democratic decentralization. This article was prepared using a normative legal research methodology in which a statutory and conceptual approach is used. Then, secondary sources of legal material were analyzed and qualified to be narrowed down to answer existing juridical problems. The results show that the rights and roles of indigenous peoples in managing their customary forests are still minimal. Customary forest management centered on the central government and prioritized a sectoral approach can have implications for exploitation that ignores the interests of conserva-tion and sustainability of customary forest natural resources.

One Health Approach: A Data-Driven Priority for Mitigating Outbreaks of Emerging and Re-Emerging Zoonotic Infectious Diseases

This paper discusses the contributions that One Health principles can make in improving global response to zoonotic infectious disease. We highlight some key benefits of taking a One Health approach to a range of complex infectious disease problems that have defied a more traditional sectoral approach, as well as public health policy and practice, where gaps in surveillance systems need to be addressed. The historical examples demonstrate the scope of One Health, partly from an Australian perspective, but also with an international flavour, and illustrate innovative approaches and outcomes with the types of collaborative partnerships that are required.

LEMBAGA TUNGGAL PENGELOLA REGULASI: DASAR PEMIKIRAN DAN TAWARAN IMPLEMENTASINYA DALAM KETATANEGARAN INDONESIA

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.

INCOME AND FINANCIAL STABILITY OF UNIVERSITY: SECTORAL APROACH

The article synthesizes methodological approaches to assessing the financial stability of universities, identifies ambiguity in the choice of evaluation indicators. Approaches to understanding and assessing financial stability are identified: strategic, according to which financial stability is achieved through the ability of universities to diversify revenues, expand their own sources of funding, optimize costs, reduce dependence on public funding by making flexible financial decisions; current, which characterizes the ability of universities to balance revenues and expenditures, maintain a sufficient level of solvency and create a positive current financial space. Conceptual tools of financial stability of universities based on an integrated approach are formulated. The peculiarities of the influence of the sectoral aspect of the university activity and the corresponding potential of income formation on its financial stability are investigated. The results of the study are based on a sectoral approach to the distribution of universities (classical, technical, and economic), due to the specifics of contingent formation in relevant specialties, public financing priorities, their competitiveness in the market of educational services, the ability of universities to diversify and expand their funding. The assessment of financial stability is carried out in terms of the income approach, the ability of universities to generate income, cover costs and create a positive financial space. Technical and classical universities have the highest share of public funding due to priority specialties according to the government policy. Today the tuition fee at Ukrainian universities is much lower compared to public funding, so the growing share of fee-paying students does not have a positive effect on the financial stability of universities. According to the results of the analysis, it was found that the net financial results of universities do not depend on the sectoral and regional affiliation, status, size of the university. However, the ability to make effective financial decisions within the autonomy of universities, balance income and expenditure, form a sound financial structure, find additional sources of income to meet current and strategic financial obligations of the university are the preconditions for financial stability of universities.

Sustainable Alternative Routes versus Linear Economy and Resources Degradation in Eastern Romania

This paper reveals the linear economy contribution to resource degradation and environmental pollution in eastern Romania that could further feed environmental crimes and conflicts, such as in the Pungesti shale gas case. Preservation of material and water resources in the region is required through various circular mechanisms under a cross-sectoral approach including solid waste as a material resource for industry and agriculture; wastewater treatment and water reuse; composting and organic agriculture; and using renewables. Six non-conflictual sustainable alternative routes related to circular economy mechanisms, water preservation, and to the clean energy transition are proposed in this paper, which are further examined through key statistics and indicators, current best practices, and local development pathways in both urban and rural communities.

Collective Proceedings

This chapter assesses the mechanisms for collective redress under the European Rules of Civil Procedure. Part XI of the Rules adopts a broad, non-sectoral approach, which is consistent with approaches across many European jurisdictions and was the approach by the European Commission in 2013. It is, however, broadly consistent in approach with that taken by the European Union in 2013 and 2018. This Part is divided into four sections, each of which deals with different mass harm situations. The first concerns collective injunctive relief (Collective Interest Injunctions); the second concerns collective proceedings for the recovery of damages or for declaratory relief (Collective Proceedings); the third provides a mechanism to declare binding a collective settlement entered into by the parties to a pending collective proceeding; and finally, a mechanism to declare a collective settlement entered into outside of collective proceedings binding.

Labour productivity, wages and the functional distribution of income in Portugal: A sectoral approach

The main purpose of this paper is to study the functional distribution of income in Portugal in the long run, considering the period between 1953 and 2017. The labour share in income or value added depends on two fundamental variables, labour productivity and the average labour compensation. The trends of these variables are quantified for the aggregate economy and for its main productive sectors. An interesting result emerges, namely the different dynamics across sectors, both for the (unadjusted) wage share (considering only the wages of employees) and for the adjusted labour share (considering also as labour compensation one fraction of mixed income). Moreover, a shift-share analysis is used, in order to distinguish the importance of each sector's wage share evolution (“within” effect) and the changes in each sector's weight (structural changes, or “between” effect). Finally, a first attempt to incorporate the effect of wage inequality on the functional distribution of income is made, subtracting the labour compensation of the highest paid workers (top 10%, 5% and 1%) in order to calculate the wage share of the (so-called) "typical" workers.

Sectoral Approach in Output Growth Decomposition and its Determinants in Europe

The structural changes in Europe have occurred over the last several decades, reducing output share in the goods sector, while increasing its share in overall services. Applying the growth accounting approach, we decomposed output growth in economy while following the sectoral approach, in ten individual sectors in twenty-six European countries, from 2000 to 2019.Our analysis shows that total factor productivity has accounted for almost half of the European countries growth in output in the last two decades, with the other half primarily accounted for by increases in fixed asset growth and employment growth, while its variations among sectors are significant. The output growth in the services sectors is significantly more driven by employment growth than in the goods sector, leading to overall employment growth in the economy. Applying the panel pooled OLS model, we found that the relevance of expenditures for research and development is high and positive in all sectors, but higher in industry and knowledge-intensive services (information and communication, scientific activities) compared to all sectors average. To the best knowledge of the author, this is the first study presenting output growth decomposition estimates at the sectoral level for a selected group of countries, but also the first study presenting estimates of TFP in the total economy for a selected time periods. In addition, this is the first study that presents the relevance of investment in research and development at the sectoral level in this specific time period and group of countries. Results of the study may be used in defining national policies priorities, as there are varieties among sectors in terms of its impact on employment and economic growth.
