Title: The Dimension of Land Waste in the Lombard and Italian Regulatory Context

Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the environmental impact of waste as a degeneration within the sociological phenomenon of consumption. Specifically, the present paper analyzes the waste phenomenon of one of the most important resources that our ecosystem gives us: the soil. Particularly, how the soil consumption has appeared to be in the Italian context, in the last two years, will be demonstrated. The current Italian regulatory framework put in place by political, national and regional institutions, will also be described; in order to limit the progressive spread of this form of consumption of primary resources. In the last paragraph, the main draft laws currently under discussion in the Italian Parliament whose aim is to effectively combat the spread of Italian soil consumption will be analyzed in detail. Currently, the legislative processes that could have resulted in a national law have been interrupted due to the lack of interest from our legislator, which instead has focused on the current pandemic crisis that has plagued the entire world over the past two years.

Keywords: soil consumption; unsustainable consumption; urban sprawl; urban regeneration; rural sociology; urban sociology.

Title: Corporate reputation in the era of fake news. Threats, trends, and techniques to protect brands

Abstract: The paper aims to investigate the issue of fake news as a threat to corporate reputation and how companies can protect it.

The analysis also takes into account the phenomenon of deep-fake, which is particularly sophisticated AI fake news based. This is not limited to textual reports, phrases or fake articles, but embraces totally false though credible videos. This type of fake news is particularly insidious, as it leverages on the more or less unconscious assumption that what is seen, for the mere fact of being seen, is much more credible and "true" than what is written. The paper then delves into the threat that fake news poses to corporate reputation, offering some examples. The literature indicates that not only can individual companies or brands be victims of fake news, but also - and perhaps more frequently - entire industries. The pharmaceutical industry illustrates this as it was already the subject of conspiracy theories, which then exploded during the Covid-19 pandemic. The literature seems to suggest two basic points. The first one is that fake news, including deep-fakes, is a serious threat to corporate reputation and to entire industrial sectors, as it is capable of inflicting considerable damage, including financial. However, companies are making constant progress in developing and refining techniques to monitor and combat fake news. From this point of view, it is also noted that if technology can help on the one hand to create misinformation, on the other hand it is a valid support in the fight against fake news. It can also be seen that single companies are usually more capable of reacting than industrial sectors, like that of pharmaceuticals which has been attacked by fake news and conspiracy theories for a long time.

Keywords: Corporate Reputation, Fake News, Deep-Fake, Crisis Communication

Title: The Effect of Self-Esteem on Young Single-Person Households on the will to be Independent: Focusing on the Moderating Effect of Social Support

Abstract: Recently, the proportion of young single-person households in Korea is rapidly increasing. In particular, economic and social independence of young single-person households is necessary, In order to prevent problems of single-person households such as extreme choices and crimes from occurring, and to solve the difficulties they face, budgets should be established in line with current trends, policies should be introduced, and businesses should be implemented. The purpose of this study was to understand the effect of young single-person households' self-esteem on their self-reliance, This study was to investigate the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between self-esteem and self-reliance among young single-person households. For this study, a survey was conducted on single young households living in Seoul. A total of 340 people responded to the survey, and 326 people's data excluding the omission were analyzed. In addition, self-esteem was used as an independent variable, self-reliance will as a dependent variable, and social support as a modulating variable. The policy implications based on the analysis results of this study are as follows. First, since the situation of single youth households is different in each region across the country, a large and delicate survey should be preceded. Second, there is a need for a way to maximize one's capabilities along with an understanding of oneself. Third, it was suggested that there is a need for measures to expand the community and share information of single youth households through the formation of governance for single youth households. Fourth, it was suggested that there is a need for an emergency fund loan system for single young households and a plan to replace deposits through the national guarantee system for single young households.

Title: Drivers and Challenges in Efforts to Promote Municipal SDGs from the Viewpoints of Collaborative Governance

Abstract: The concept of collaborative governance has been touted as a model for improving public administration and increasing citizens' trust in government. Over the last two decades, theoretical and empirical studies have investigated the essential and complex mechanisms of governance, and a large body of evidence assures us that stakeholders can come together and work cooperatively to solve mutual problems. Prior research has shown that collaborative governance can be a viable alternative to adversarial and managerial policy making and implementation. There is a growing interest of literature that recognizes the variables that influence the outcomes of collaborative governance and whether collaboration is successful. Among those factors are the initial conditions for a collaborative process and the key components such as trust building and facilitative leadership. Collaborative governance is often seen as a strategy to restore trust in government by strengthening administration and deliberation, but it is important to build a collaborative process, taking into account that there are many challenges to achieving collaboration. These challenges are also required in policies and measures to promote the SDGs, which now require partnerships through a multi-stakeholder process.

First, this study analyzes the literature on collaborative governance in terms of theoretical and empirical aspects. Next, after confirming the significance of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a governance tool. The SDGs are aimed at sustainable development in both developed and developing countries, and recently even in Japan, some local governments have been actively working to rethink their existing policies in terms of the SDGs. This study examine the drivers, conditions and challenges of collaborative governance from the perspective of the municipal SDGs, which have recently been promoted in Japan.

Keywords: Collaborative Governance, Collaboration, Municipal SDGs, Multi Stakeholder Process

Title: Making of Hindu Fishermen: An Ethno-Historical Study of ‘RSS’in the Coastal Malabar Regions of Kerala

Abstract: The existing literature on Hindu right-wing groups in India primarily focuses upon the history and the ideology of Hindutva. These works are yet to empirically explore how RSS ideology is manifested at different local levels. My research examines how Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) an organisation that promotes Hindu nationalist ideology, successfully imparts their ideology among the Araya Hindu fishers communities of the Malabar region in Kerala. Within a short span of time, this organisation, became dominant in the coastal areas of Malabar. Fishers adopted the RSS ideology much quicker than other Hindu communities in the region.

This study thus aims to look into the RSS's organizational activities to bring the Araya fishers communities under their influence. I have adopted the ethno-historical method for the study. In-depth personnel interviews and informal conversations were conducted with the leaders and sympathisers of the RSS organisation who belonged to the fisher community. The government reports, newspaper reports, and the magazines and pamphlets of the organisation are also examined.

The paper would argue that RSS has successfully presented before the fishers as a Hindu organization capable of protecting their values and culture. The organisation inculcated the idea of Hindutva among the fishers by assimilating their indigenous beliefs and customs. Through this process, RSS created a communal consciousness amongst the marginalized Arayas. It thus led to the othering of the Puislam Muslim fishers. Thus, the paper would suggest that RSS succeeded in imparting communal ideologies among the Marginalised Araya fishers by appropriating them into the mainstream Hindu identity.

Keywords: RSS; Fishermen; Hindutva politics; Coastal Malabar; politics of hate; assimilation; communalization.

Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of developing an improved performance appraisal system for the Government of West Java Province. The research was conducted using mixed methods, where this method combines qualitative and quantitative qualitative through interview data collection techniques, desk studies, conducting focus group discussions and perform descriptive statistical analysis. To improve the existing performance calculation system, the author proposes several suggestions for improvements to employee performance factors, performance indicators, methods, reviewers and existing formulas. One of the suggestions is to replace the behavioral scores previously obtained from behavioral reviews with scores from peer review questionnaires according to the simulation results that have been performed.

Keywords: Performance Appraisal, Employee Performance, Organization Performance, Performance Indicators
