  • Vulnerabilities of Indonesia's Extractive Industry to Illicit Financial
    Vulnerabilities of Indonesia’s Extractive Industry to Illicit Financial Flows Jimmy Daniel Berlianto Oley, Yerikho Setyo Adi The SMERU Research Institute Universitas Gadjah Mada [email protected] [email protected] p-ISSN 2477-118X e-ISSN 2615-7977 ABSTRACT This article aims to explain the vulnerabilities of Indonesia’s extractive industry governance to the illicit financial flows. Earlier studies figured out that the company in extractive industry has been found to be one of the prominent actors of illicit financial flows. In the case of Indonesia during the period of 2004-2013, the data of Global Financial Integrity (GFI) illustrated that Indonesia is among the top 10 developing countries – which have the highest value of illicit financial flows. This article seeks to explain the nature of illicit financial flows on extractive industry, the causation of why Indonesia’s extractive industry is prone to the illicit financial flows, and finally the recommendation in addressing the issue. In doing so, the researchers conduct the qualitative desk research on explanatory methodology. The result explains that at least there are two natures Volume 4 Nomor 2, Desember 2018 | 75 Vulnerabilities of Indonesia’s Extractive Industry to Illicit Financial Flows of illicit financial flows on extractive industry, the behavior of rent- seeking and the dynamics of commodity prices. This article also found out that there are three main sources of regulatory vulnerability which may accommodate the rent-seeking behavior – which directly and indirectly influence the illicit financial flow, which are the different sets of revenue data, arm’s length measurement within the vulnerable enforcement, and regarding the cost recovery scheme.

  • Introduction to the Principles of Vacuum Physics
    1 INTRODUCTION TO THE PRINCIPLES OF VACUUM PHYSICS Niels Marquardt Institute for Accelerator Physics and Synchrotron Radiation, University of Dortmund, 44221 Dortmund, Germany Abstract Vacuum physics is the necessary condition for scientific research and modern high technology. In this introduction to the physics and technology of vacuum the basic concepts of a gas composed of atoms and molecules are presented. These gas particles are contained in a partially empty volume forming the vacuum. The fundamentals of vacuum, molecular density, pressure, velocity distribution, mean free path, particle velocity, conductivity, temperature and gas flow are discussed. 1. INTRODUCTION — DEFINITION, HISTORY AND APPLICATIONS OF VACUUM The word "vacuum" comes from the Latin "vacua", which means "empty". However, there does not exist a totally empty space in nature, there is no "ideal vacuum". Vacuum is only a partially empty space, where some of the air and other gases have been removed from a gas containing volume ("gas" comes from the Greek word "chaos" = infinite, empty space). In other words, vacuum means any volume containing less gas particles, atoms and molecules (a lower particle density and gas pressure), than there are in the surrounding outside atmosphere. Accordingly, vacuum is the gaseous environment at pressures below atmosphere. Since the times of the famous Greek philosophers, Demokritos (460-370 B.C.) and his teacher Leukippos (5th century B.C.), one is discussing the concept of vacuum and is speculating whether there might exist an absolutely empty space, in contrast to the matter of countless numbers of indivisible atoms forming the universe. It was Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), who claimed that nature is afraid of total emptiness and that there is an insurmountable "horror vacui".

  • 9 March 2021 Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs
    9 March 2021 Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Hubertus Heil, Federal Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Gerd Müller, Federal Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development cc: Helge Braun, Head of the Federal Chancellery and Federal Minister for Special Tasks Heiko Maas, Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs Olaf Scholz, Federal Minister of Finance Dear Ministers Altmaier, Heil and Müller, I write as the former UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Business and Human Rights and author of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. It is my understanding that the German Cabinet has approved a draft law on corporate human rights and environmental due diligence in supply chains. It now goes to Parliament for its consideration. The law introduces human rights due diligence obligations initially for companies that employ at least 3,000 workers, and later for companies with at least 1,000 workers—which have their headquarters, principal place of business or registered office in Germany. It aims to improve human rights standards and practices in the operations and supply chains of those German companies. There are elements to welcome in the draft law. For example, companies are expected to examine how their own purchasing practices may help mitigate human rights and environmental risks. Moreover, the law recognizes the need for accountability measures to ensure that the due diligence obligation is meaningful. It focuses on permitting affected individuals to file a complaint with the regulatory oversight body, which has the power to determine if a company has breached its obligations and to issue fines if so.

November 2019 (www.spiegel.de/wirt schaft/bankenunion-olaf-scholz-gibt-blockade-der-eu-einlagensicherung-auf- a-1295057.html), dass der Bundesminister der Finanzen, Olaf Scholz, seine Blockade bei der europäischen Einlagensicherung aufgebe. Zusätzlich zu den nationalen Einlagesicherungssystemen, die jedes Mitglieds- land einrichten muss, soll nun ein europaweit tätiger Einlagensicherungsfonds gegründet werden. In diesen Fonds sollen die Banken jedes Mitgliedslandes einzahlen. Diese Beiträge sollen nicht in einem Gemeinschaftstopf untergehen. Stattdessen werde das Geld auf nationalen Konten angesammelt, von denen im Bedarfsfall den nationalen Einlagesicherungssystemen Liquidität über rück- zahlbare Darlehen zur Verfügung gestellt würde. Für Länder mit kleinem Ban- kensektor könne der Fonds sogar einen Teil der Verluste übernehmen, weil die Kreditinstitute dort wohl nicht in der Lage sein würden, den Kapitalpuffer wie- der aufzufüllen.
