    • The paper explores the economic disempowerment of married female factory worker as a result of being a mother, a working woman, and a community affairs participant. Most of the time women are forced to sacrifice on their careers than men. They wrestle with their triple burden role as a woman. Moser (2003) argues that women's work is reproductive work, productive work, and community managing work. These roles prevent women from utilizing their full potential as a worker as they juggle their career with their other roles as a woman. It is imperative that women must be given voice, choice, and agency on what they want to do (Gascon, 2017). Women must not be caught up with their triple roles which hinder their freedom to make their own choices. The traditional roles of women hinder their freedom to have better life chances such as becoming a successful worker without having the threat of giving up such opportunity should the need arises just because she is the woman, the mother. The expectation of society that women can work but have to take care of family matters should be changed. Women must not be put into a situation where her career is compromised to put family first. It is about time that we find ways to eradicate this thinking of “because she is the woman.”

    • In today’s global market environment, a prerequisite for a corporation to align with apractice of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is to have a social contract with its key stakeholders such as society, government, groups, individuals, and other interested parties (Crowther & Aras, 2008). However, there is no agreed-upon definition of CSR, but it can be articulated as a concept whereby commercial and non-commercial entities incorporate social, economic, ecological, and sustainability concerns in their business operations, and that these entities interact ethically with their stakeholders on a voluntary footing (Hamidu, Haron,& Amran, 2015).Phillip Morris International (PMI) proclaims that its stance on CSR is strongly correlated with transparency, accountability, and sustainability (PMI, 2017). However, PMI is a corporation that promotes the production of harmful products for human enjoyment and is still seen by society as a controversial corporation (Cohen, 2007). Despite its good intentions, as long as PMI promotes the production of harmful products for consumers, their CSR proclamations will be addressed with skepticism.

    • In a context of openness accustomed to a strong involvement of civil society in the decision-making process of public affairs, any action emanating from the State will be badly perceived and considered as an interference, an abuse of power and finally, a return to an authoritarian State system omnipresent in the socio-economic sphere which stifles all initiatives. It is in this context that the reaction of the Olympic and sports movement (O.S.M.) to the appointment by the ministry in charge of sport of civil servants in place of an elected federal office in the management of a given sport discipline must be appreciated. Although their field of intervention is regulated and limited in time and space, it nevertheless continues to provoke strong reactions, indignation and often protests for this interference in a field that is used to being managed by the sports and Olympic movement. Thus, a power struggle emerges between the State interested in getting its hands on a domain deemed sensitive with important socio-economic and political ramifications and on the other hand the M.S.O. which seeks, by all means at its disposal, to preserve the autonomy of the management of sports affairs from any state or other interference. This article raises questions relating to the concept of power within organizations, the management of conflicts between the MOS and the state, the reasons justifying the intervention of the latter and the instruments used by the state to ensure the perpetuation of control over the sports domain. It will be a question of analysing the course of the provisional committees, as a means of direct intervention by the state, during the period 1979-2020, using, as methodological tools, the analysis of official documentation, interviews with sports officials and the author's actual participation in the management of some of these committees.

    • This study uses a quasi-qualitative approach. The supply chain in the SS2 weapon raw material procurement process is essential in SS2 weapon production activities. Failure to manage the procurement process will hurt production activities. This impact is caused by the risks that arise from the lack of supervision in collecting the raw material procurement process. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the risks that occur in the supply chain for the procurement of raw material for SS2 weapons at PT Pindad (Persero) and identify risk mitigation by proposing preventive actions in dealing with risks. The method used is the House of Risk (HOR) and the Pareto 80:20 principle to identify risks and determine the priority risk agents who will be given risk management. The real risks identified in this study were 17 risk events and 27 risk agents. Based on the data processing results, six priority risk agents have the highest ARP value, namely the total cumulative ARP percentage of 49.43%. The handling of these risk agents is carried out by providing 14 proposed preventive actions to reduce the impact of risk agents that occur in the procurement of raw material for SS2 weapons.

    • The continuous and uncontrolled emission of gaseous gases worldwide and across borders between the Member States of the European Union, has led to serious environmental issues, which are related to the depletion of ozone (O3) in the atmosphere, the occurrence and enhancement of the greenhouse effect (GHG), the global warming, the acid rain, the smog and other phenomena, adverse to the environment, public health, economic and social activity of countries. The European Union has already adopted Directive (EU) 2016/802, concerning the maritime sector that we will be addressed in this paper, on reducing sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from ships. The latter has been incorporated in the Greek legislation with the no.: 128/2016 Joint Ministerial Decision (Government Gazette B '3958). The ever-increasing need to good’s transportation, increases the need to create a larger merchant fleet in order to increase global capacity. At the same time, the need for the use of fuels as ship’s energy sources, is increasing. Fuels that will be used both for the ship’s propulsion and to meet secondary needs, such as the production of electricity and the movement of ship’s auxiliary engines, it is necessary to be create in order to meet the global merchant fleet’s needs in energy. This increase has the effect of increasing the emissions of gases that are dangerous for the environment and those responsible for a large percentage of global warming and the greenhouse effect. In this paper, the use of hydrogen (H2) as a marine engines’ fuel is analyzed and not only. The production of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources is studied and economic factors arising from the production and use of this fuel are analyzed.

    • In the discourse on defense, especially in the context of military defense, defense readiness and defense independence are two topics that become a matter of contention for policy makers, with significant political implications if they are not considered. Defense readiness is the availability of the elements needed in a defense effort, both human and equipment and supplies as well as other supports, as well as the ease of deploying these elements. Meanwhile, independence is understood as how capable a country is to carry out these elements by itself using all the resources owned by the country. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the condition of a country and the defense industry model that is built and implemented. The research conducted this time can be understood as a qualitative literature study. The data collection method used in this study consists of several methods aimed at retrieving as much data as possible. The data collection method used in this survey is a document survey. The conclusions drawn from the research conducted are that the social aspects of the country's strategic environment may influence the relationship between the organizational structure of the country's defense industry and its networks and subsystems, as well as the relationship with the contextual history of a country.

    • Geospatial intelligence is carried out to get a clear and real picture of a location so that it can be used for extracting agricultural information. The agricultural sector has a characteristic that it has a specific location and a certain area for activities, because agricultural activities require a land. This research was conducted with the method of literature study and descriptive analysis. The researcher aims to convey that geospatial intelligence can be used as a good tool to create policies in the agricultural sector. The role of geospatial intelligence (geoint) in agriculture and food can be included in the estimation of rice production. Production estimation using geoint is carried out with remote sensing data sources in the form of satellite images. Remote sensing images record spectral reflections from the earth's surface, so if the earth's surface is recorded as agricultural land, the spectral patterns of growing agricultural crops will also be recorded. Geoint can play an important role in agriculture, specifically the process of estimating rice production.

    • The phenomenon of underwater drones crossing national borders may be something that is hot to discuss, this is based on the discovery of an underwater drone belonging to China by fishermen near the island of Selayar. This incident suddenly caused a stir in the community because the function of the drone itself is usually to find and record information, activities and events as well as for reconnaissance functions. The phenomenon of the discovery of foreign-owned underwater drones has not only happened once or twice, but has been found several times in Indonesian waters in recent years. So, is the phenomenon of underwater drones crossing the Indonesian border that can interfere and become a threat to the national defence system? With a qualitative research approach that uses the case study method, it is hoped that later it can produce an answer to these problems. This study uses a threat theory approach and a state defence system to be able to find out whether underwater drones are really a real threat and can disrupt the national defence system. The results of this study are that underwater drones can become a threat and disrupt the national defence system if the drone crosses national borders (enters the territory of the Indonesian state) without permission. The threat of underwater drones crossing Indonesia's maritime boundaries can be a threat because of the work of the drones themselves that can be used to spy and transmit data in real time to the control centre.

It was amalgamating many subunits and multi locational products into its main unit. The company has focused its attention on various projects and substantial resources. Subsequently, they have decided to organize the company into two units one in southern India and one in northern India. Sugar industry is one of the most important agro-based industries in India and is extremely accountable for creating a major impact on rural economy in particular and the country's economy in broad-spectrum. Sugar has been yield in the Indian subcontinent since ancient times and then it spread to other parts of the world1. Sugarcane is a native of tropical Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Sugar industry ranks second amongst major agro-based industries in India. In India, sugarcane is planted thrice a year in October, March and July depending on part of the country. The majority of the sugar production in India takes at local Cooperative Sugar mills2. After Independence, India made serious plans for overall industrial development of sugar industry3. The Indian sugar industry is independent in its energy needs and further makes additional exportable power through cogeneration. The different byproducts of sugar industry likewise add to the economic development of the nation to advancing various additional industries. Sugarcane has developed as a multi-product crop utilized as an essential raw material for the manufacture of sugar, ethanol, paper, electricity and besides a cogeneration of subsidiary product. The taking care of dairy cattle of sugarcane is a significant source of bio-vitality and more demand in rural areas. Molasses is an essential sustain stock for distilleries. The ethanol necessity of the nation is going up progressively.
