CHEFS E RESTAURANTES: O CASO DA CIDADE CRIATIVA DA GASTRONOMIA, EM BELÉM (PARÁ, BRASIL)
Belém foi reconhecida como Cidade Criativa da Gastronomia em 2015, pela UNESCO. Esta temática interessa ao turismo gastronômico, uma vez que a criatividade alimentar e a comida autêntica atraem turistas nacionais e internacionais. Assim, definimos como objetivo de pesquisa analisar diferentes perfis de chefs de cozinha e de proprietários de restaurantes de Belém (Pará), tendo em vista compreender a relevância destes, na projeção da Cidade Criativa da Gastronomia. Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa tem natureza qualitativa, tendo em vista aprofundar o conhecimento do objeto definido. Esta se apoia em entrevistas semiestruturadas aplicadas a três proprietários de restaurantes e seis chefs e responsáveis de cozinha paraenses. Já, em termos conclusivos, consideramos a existência polissêmica do conceito de chef de cozinha devido às diferentes tarefas executadas pelos mesmos. Para além disso, a atribuição do mencionado título internacional permitiu projetar chefs e restaurantes. Por fim, o city branding passou a ser explorado, a partir da existência quer de chefs de cozinha, quer dos restaurantes de comida autêntica, especializada ou de chefs galardoados
THE IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL RISKS AND TRADE BALANCE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF LISTED COMPANIES IN VIETNAM
This study analyzes the impact of geopolitical risk and trade balance on the performance of Vietnamese listed firms over the period 2016–2024, using an unbalanced panel of 588 firms. The study employs a dynamic panel System Generalized Method of Moments (System GMM) estimator to address endogeneity, unobserved firm-specific effects, heteroskedasticity, and serial correlation. The empirical findings indicate that geopolitical risk exerts a positive and statistically significant effect on both return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). This suggests that, in the context of global supply chain realignments and capital reallocation, Vietnamese listed firms have been able to leverage new opportunities created by geopolitical tensions. In contrast, the trade balance shows a negative and significant relationship with firm performance, implying that improvements in the aggregate trade balance are associated with lower efficiency at the firm level. This result reflects the structural dependence of Vietnamese firms on imported raw materials, machinery, and intermediate inputs. Control variables such as firm size, tangible assets, liquidity, Tobin’s Q, and net working capital improve performance, while high financial leverage and the COVID-19 shock reduce it. Moderate inflation contributes positively to firm performance. The study offers new empirical evidence on the role of geopolitical risk and trade balance in shaping corporate performance in an emerging, export-oriented economy and provides policy implications for regulators, investors, and corporate managers

LEGAL AND ECONOMIC DIMENSIONS OF REAL-WORLD ASSET (RWA) TOKENIZATION: GOLD AS TOKENIZED ASSET
With rapid technological advancements, the business and financial sectors are undergoing significant transformation, and blockchain has emerged as a key driver in disrupting traditional financial ecosystems while promoting greater financial inclusion, particularly in countries like Indonesia that are in the midst of transitioning toward a digital economy. One of blockchain’s core capabilities is asset tokenization, which has attracted growing interest from financial institutions seeking new investment mechanisms. This study uses a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis through a literature review to examine the potential and challenges of tokenization, using the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), specifically gold, as an illustrative example. The findings reveal that current development of tokenization is promising, as it enhances liquidity, operational efficiency, and global accessibility, while blockchain, as its core technology, provides greater transparency and enables fractional ownership. However, several issues remain as the tokenization of real-world assets gains momentum, including legal uncertainty, as governments and institutions adapt to the pace of new financial innovations while seeking to protect consumers and promote innovation. The study recommends adopting market-driven regulatory frameworks and encouraging joint efforts with international institutions to compare and evaluate market practices across different jurisdictions
CIRCULAR ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT POLICY IN VIETNAM - CURRENT SITUATION AND SOME RECOMMENDATIONS
The circular economy is increasingly recognized as an inevitable development trend aimed at reducing the exploitation of natural resources, minimizing waste generation, and promoting sustainable economic growth. In Vietnam, the transition toward a circular economy has received growing policy attention, as reflected in several legal documents that regulate recycling, reuse, waste management, extended producer responsibility, and cleaner production. However, despite these initial efforts, the existing legal framework for the circular economy remains fragmented. It has not yet established sufficiently strong or coherent incentives to encourage the active participation of businesses, local authorities, and local communities. In practice, shortcomings in policy design, implementation mechanisms, and law enforcement capacity continue to limit the effectiveness of circular economic initiatives. Against this background, the article analyzes the current status of Vietnam’s policies and legal regulations related to circular economic development, focusing on their scope, consistency, and practical enforceability. On that basis, the article proposes several solutions to improve the legal framework, strengthen institutional coordination, and enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement. The research findings are expected to contribute to the creation of a more favorable legal foundation for Vietnam’s transition toward an effective, sustainable, and competitive circular economic model
ANÁLISE BIBLIOMÉTRICA DO TECNOSTRESSE BASEADA EM R
The study aims to create a map by presenting analyses of leading researchers in the field, other authors collaborating with these researchers, journals with the highest number and quality of publications, the most frequently used words, the thematic structure of the field, leading countries, and other countries collaborating with these countries. Within this scope, a total of 1,297 English academic publications in the Web of Science database were analysed using the Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny packages in the R programming language. Riedl, Tarafdar, and Maier are leading researchers in the technostress literature. The analysis identified three main theoretical areas. These areas are: information systems and stress theory, technology acceptance and adaptation models, and organisational psychology. Popular topics that will be important for future work in the field are techno-eustress (positive stress from technology) and techno-distress (negative stress from technology). The United States, China, and Germany are the countries that contribute most to the field through their international collaborations. Unlike other bibliometric studies that examine technostress more broadly as part of technology-induced stress research, this study focuses solely on the concept of technostress and presents different results for its conceptual structure, which is the most important reason for the uniqueness of this study.O estudo visa criar um mapa apresentando análises dos principais pesquisadores da área, outros autores que colaboram com esses pesquisadores, revistas com o maior número e qualidade de publicações, as palavras mais utilizadas, a estrutura temática da área, os países líderes e outros países que colaboram com esses países. Dentro desse escopo, um total de 1.297 publicações acadêmicas em inglês na base de dados Web of Science foram analisadas utilizando os pacotes Bibliometrix e Biblioshiny na linguagem de programação R. Riedl, Tarafdar e Maier são pesquisadores líderes na literatura sobre estresse tecnológico. A análise identificou três áreas teóricas principais. Essas áreas são: sistemas de informação e teoria do estresse, modelos de aceitação e adaptação da tecnologia e psicologia organizacional. Tópicos populares que serão importantes para trabalhos futuros na área são o estresse tecnológico positivo (estresse positivo proveniente da tecnologia) e o estresse tecnológico negativo (estresse negativo proveniente da tecnologia). Os Estados Unidos, a China e a Alemanha são os países que mais contribuem para o campo por meio de suas colaborações internacionais. Ao contrário de outros estudos bibliométricos que examinam o estresse tecnológico de forma mais ampla como parte da pesquisa sobre estresse induzido pela tecnologia, este estudo se concentra exclusivamente no conceito de estresse tecnológico e apresenta resultados diferentes para sua estrutura conceitual, o que é a razão mais importante para a singularidade deste estudo
FROM AWARENESS TO ACTION: THE IMPACT OF SERVICE AWARENESS, CONVENIENCE, FEEDBACK AND USER ENGAGEMENT, AND FIRM SOCIAL COMMUNICATION ON SERVICE USAGE INTENTION IN CHINA’S INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION SERVICE MARKET
The international education services industry has increasingly been shaped by globalization and digital transformation, requiring providers to adopt innovative marketing strategies to stay competitive. This study explores the impact of key digital marketing communication factors, Service Awareness, Convenience and Accessibility, Feedback and User Engagement, and Firm-Created social media on Service Usage Intention in China’s international education market. A quantitative research approach was employed, with data collected from 304 respondents via a structured questionnaire. Purposive sampling was used to target individuals familiar with international education services, particularly with a single educational company, XYC. The data were analyzed using regression techniques to assess the relationships between the variables. The findings reveal that CAA and FCSM are significant positive predictors of SUI, with FCSM exhibiting the most substantial effect (β = 0.282, p < 0.001). FUE also positively influences SUI, though the effect is weaker (β = 0.125, p < 0.017). However, SA demonstrated only a modest indirect influence on SUI, suggesting that while awareness is important, engagement and accessibility play more critical roles in driving usage intentions. These results underline the importance of improving convenience, accessibility, and engagement strategies to enhance service usage intentions among potential customers. For practitioners, this study highlights the need for enhanced service accessibility, better social media engagement, and interactive feedback mechanisms to strengthen customer intention and improve service adoption. It contributes to the growing body of research on digital marketing in the education sector, particularly focusing on customer engagement and its role in influencing service usage
COMPARATIVE TREATISE OF REGULATIONS ON FISHERIES CRIMINAL ACTS IN INDONESIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA
The fisheries sector faces serious challenges in the form of environmentally destructive fishing practices, the use of illegal fishing gear, and overexploitation that threatens the sustainability of fish resources. This study aims to analyze the comparison of regulations and law enforcement against fisheries crimes in Indonesia and the Republic of China in order to identify similarities, differences, and policy implications for strengthening fisheries criminal law in Indonesia. This study uses a socio-legal approach with a comparative method, which views fisheries law as a social practice closely related to state policy, law enforcement mechanisms, and the socio-economic conditions of fishing communities. Analysis of legislation is still carried out as part of legal policy mapping, but is combined with a study of the practice of law enforcement and implementation. Research data was obtained through a review of Indonesian and Chinese fisheries regulations, court decisions related to fisheries crimes, law enforcement reports, as well as statistical data and official publications representing the empirical conditions of fisheries crime handling in both countries. The results of the study show that Indonesia tends to apply a cumulative criminal sanction system in the form of imprisonment and fines, while the Republic of China uses a cumulative-alternative system that provides greater flexibility to judges. Another difference lies in Indonesia\u27s tendency to give special treatment to small-scale fishermen, while the Republic of China has stricter regulations regarding the protection of endangered fish species. This study recommends strengthening species protection regulations in Indonesia and developing differentiated policies for small-scale fishermen to improve the effectiveness of combating fisheries crime
STRATEGIES FOR ENGAGEMENT EMPLOYEES: THE IMPACT OF COMPENSATION, SUPERVISOR SUPPORT, CAREER DEVELOPMENT, AND DIGITAL LITERACY
Employee engagement has emerged as a central issue for organizational sustainability, particularly amid digital transformation where motivation and adaptability are vital. Despite extensive research, the understanding of its antecedents remains fragmented, especially in developing contexts. This study investigates how Compensation, Career Development, Perceived Supervisor Support, and Digital Literacy influence Employee Engagement in Indonesian organizations. Using a quantitative design with SmartPLS analysis, data were collected from employees across multiple sectors. The results show that compensation, career development, and perceived supervisor support significantly enhance engagement, while digital literacy has a positive but comparatively weaker effect. Among these variables, career development exerts the strongest influence, emphasizing the importance of growth and development opportunities in sustaining engagement. The study contributes to the literature by integrating traditional motivational constructs with digital competency perspectives and highlighting the need to contextualize engagement models in emerging economies. Practically, it suggests that organizations should strengthen fair compensation, structured career development, supportive leadership, and digital readiness to build enduring engagement in technology-driven workplaces
FROM GREEN STRATEGY TO PERFORMANCE: THE MODERATING ROLE OF SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING QUALITY
This study investigates the effects of green competitive advantage (GCA) and green innovation (GI) on company performance, with sustainability report quality (SRQ) serving as a moderating variable. Firm size and firm age are included as control variables to enhance empirical robustness. Using a quantitative approach, the study analyzes panel data from 248 manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2022–2023, yielding 496 firm-year observations. The hypotheses are tested using panel data regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The findings reveal that GCA has a significant positive effect on company performance, whereas GI does not demonstrate a statistically significant direct impact. Furthermore, SRQ significantly strengthens the relationship between GCA and company performance but does not moderate the relationship between GI and performance. The primary contribution of this study lies in the refinement and extension of the SRQ construct by incorporating two additional dimensions—responsiveness and impact—which extend beyond conventional disclosure attributes such as accuracy and reliability. This enhanced SRQ framework allows for a more policy-relevant evaluation of whether sustainability reports not only comply with reporting standards but also meaningfully address stakeholder concerns and demonstrate tangible performance outcomes. From a policy perspective, the results suggest that sustainability reporting frameworks should emphasize report substance, stakeholder responsiveness, and measurable impact rather than focusing solely on disclosure volume or formal compliance. Strengthening SRQ can enhance the credibility of green strategies and increase their contribution to firm performance. Overall, the findings provide important implications for regulators, standard setters, and policymakers seeking to improve the effectiveness of sustainability disclosure regimes and promote performance-oriented sustainability practices in emerging markets
