One of the first industries developed in frontier regions, tourism opens new land and commodity frontiers through practices of primitive accumulation that can radically disrupt the reproduction of social relations of production. However, very little work explicitly addresses the role of tourism in frontier-making practices. This paper brings political economy and critical geopolitics to bear on the role of tourism in the development of new land and commodity frontiers in the South China Sea and Myanmar. Geopolitical ambitions are played out under the guise of tourism development and are obscured by the assemblage of institutions, discourses, and practices (e.g., photographic surveillance, social media representations, place branding) that aid in the appropriation of the "free gifts" of not only nature, but also human nature. The state is integral to the extraction of use values of non-human and human nature: territorialisation, dispossession, and enclosure are all fundamental to this process. Additionally, as people and places (e.g., beaches, cultural practices, ethnic identities) become legible as commodities, so too do they become alienated from the products of their labour. This paper sheds analytical light on the ways in which powerful mechanisms of the tourism industry legitimise the creative creation of new land and commodity frontiers.

The aim of the article is to identify significant differences in motivational preferences of employees of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) by comparing their membership to the region and gender. The paper presents the partial outcomes of research on the level of motivation and the preferences of employees in the Czech Republic and the Beijing municipality administration of the People’s Republic of China. The survey was carried out in 2017 using a questionnaire. The questionnaires were distributed in small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in various areas of business. The sample included the entire territory of the Czech Republic (CR) and the Beijing municipality administration in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). A total of 2,673 respondents participated in the survey,of which 899 were respondents in the Beijing municipality administration and 1,774 respondents from the Czech Republic. Descriptive statistics was used to characterize the sampling unit. The other methods used to evaluate data in the article were the Student two-sample t-test,F test,and ANOVA. The differences in motivational preferences of employees revealed by the study can be used as a basis for creating appropriate incentive programs for multinational business teams.

This study investigates the impacts of carbon pricing policies on firms’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We
include two carbon pricing policies: carbon tax and emission trading scheme (ETS) at national and sub-national
(province) levels, measured as policy existence (binary variable) and carbon price (continuous variable). Firms’
GHG emissions are measured as total emissions and emission intensity. Using unique recent firm-level data from
2010 to 2021 from three East Asia countries (Japan, the Republic of Korea (ROK), and the People’s Republic of
China (PRC)), we obtain the following key findings. First, the national carbon pricing policy significantly reduced
firms’ GHG emissions and GHG emission intensity in Japan and the ROK. The greater the carbon price, the
greater the impact. Second, the subnational carbon pricing policies implemented in two provinces of Japan
(Saitama and Tokyo) decreased firms’ GHG emissions. Third, heavy industry sectors such as energy, utilities, and
industrials experienced a substantial decrease in GHG emission intensity due to the carbon pricing policy.
Finally, our main results are robust to different model specifications and various measures of firms’ GHG
emissions. Although literature studying the ex-post impact of carbon pricing on emissions at country and sectorlevel
is abundant, this paper contributes to the existing literature providing empirical evidence of the impact of
carbon pricing policies on firms’ emissions using firm-level data, which is highly limited especially in Asia.
1. Introduction
The importance of carbon pricing in reducing GHG emissions in
order to prevent catastrophic climate change has been highlighted by
academia and international organizations as the most efficient tool to
reach global emission reduction targets. The utilization of emissions
trading as a pivotal strategy to implement carbon pricing has progressively
emerged as a pivotal driver in facilitating the worldwide transition
toward low-carbon energy sources and promoting economic
transformations aimed at reducing carbon emissions (Zhang et al., 2019;
Zhang et al., 2020a,b; Liu and Zhang, 2021; Wang et al., 2023). The
World’s first emission trading system - the EU Emissions Trading System
(EU ETS), has been a key element of the European Union’s climate
change policy since it was set up in 2005. Since then, 47 national and 36
sub-national carbon pricing policies have been implemented as carbon
tax or emissions trading scheme (ETS) for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
(Jotzo and Azhgaliyeva, 2022). Many other jurisdictions have
scheduled or considered the implementation of carbon pricing. Carbon
pricing policies covered 23.17% of global GHG emissions in 2022

In 2010, China's Legislature adopted a reconstructed new private international law which makes habitual residence the principal connecting factor of lex personalis. Prior to the new law, lex personalis had followed a mixed model that included the law of domicile, the law of nationality, the law of the country where a Chinese person resides, and the law of the place of an act. The reconstruction of lex personalis improves China's opportunities for accession to international conventions and for the adoption of common international measures to better protect the interests of Chinese citizens, especially children. However, China's legislature and its courts still have much to do in order to decrease and eliminate many conflicts among the previous and current provisions regarding lex personalis. Among other things, criteria need to be established for application in defining, judging and establishing habitual residence, especially with regard to appreciable period of time and settled intention.

Recognising the need of pharmacists for current information in the field of science, legislation and conducted activities, The Pharmaceutical Chamber of the Republic of Serbia (FKS) has launched a magazine Pharmacy Practice (AP) and an official web page. The research was conducted in order to determine the change in preferences and attitudes of pharmacists towards various channels of information, the level of awareness on certain contents of FKS's magazine and web page and specific demographic changes in the period 2008. - 2014. The data was collected through a voluntary and anonymous online survey on two occasions - in 2008. and 2014. About 12% of the members of FKS participated in the survey. Demographic structure of the participants within the monitored period has shifted from predominantly middle aged (41-55) to younger population (25-40). Development and propagation of information technologies (IT) has led to the increase in accessibility of the Internet at workplace (from 8% to 54%) and at home (from 73% to 91%), and the number of Internet users has increased by 27%. Preferred channels of information in 2014. were the digital media (over 50%), while the AP stayed on the same level (over 30%), as did monitoring of certain contents on the FKS website. The focus of interests was changing, but interests in legislation and continuous education remained on a high level.

The subject of this study is a scientific understanding of the formation and development of the supreme state authorities of the People's Republics of Donbass (DPR, LPR) as unrecognized states from the time of their self-declaration in 2014 to their admission to the Russian Federation in 2022. The purpose of the study is to identify the main features, stages of formation and development of institutions of supreme state power (the head of state, parliament, government and courts) in the republics of Donbass in the period from 2014 to 2022. The methodological basis of the research was a wide range of general and special methods of scientific cognition. Dialectical, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction were used as general scientific methods. Comparative-legal, system-structural and formal-legal methods were used as special methods. General scientific methods, especially dialectical ones, allowed us to study the factors and the process of evolution of the constitutional status of the supreme state authorities of the DPR and LPR in the conditions of military confrontation with the mother state and political rapprochement with Russia. Using the comparative legal method, a comparative analysis of the status of the highest state authorities of the DPR, LPR and the Russian Federation was carried out. The system-structural method was used in the study of intra-system changes in the constitutional status of the studied authorities. With the help of the formal legal method, a study of normative legal sources was conducted, which made it possible to form the logic of the presentation of the material and the conceptual apparatus of the declared topic. The procedure for the formation and activities of the state authorities of the DPR and LPR are regulated by an array of legal acts, the norms of which reflect both the identity of the power institutions of the republics of Donbass and the tendency to the reception of constitutional and legal institutions existing in Russia. This allows us to state with confidence the presence of a number of features in the process of evolution of the highest state authorities of the republics of Donbass, which reflect the focus on integration with a more developed state system of Russia, the formation in a short historical time, the proximity of the mechanism of organization and content of the competence of the highest state authorities of the two republics, caused, including their formation in the conditions of the special the legal regime of martial law. The results of the study can be useful at the present stage of integration of new subjects of the Russian Federation into the legal system of the Russian Federation and into the system of its state authorities. The conclusion is reasoned that the transformation of the institutions of the supreme power of the republics of Donbass has passed two stages and is currently in the third. The first stage is characterized by the formation of its own republican system of supreme state authorities (2014-2018). The second stage is characterized by further improvement and transformation of the status of the supreme state authorities of the republics against the background of increased Russian legal influence (November 2018-2022). The third stage is explained by the adoption of the DPR and the LPR into our state in September 2022 and the beginning of systematic work to change legislation regarding the creation of higher state authorities of new subjects of Russia.
