Governance and Technological Challenge in Digital Solidarity Economies: A Case Study of a Collaborative Transportation Platform in South Korea
South Korea's City P illustrates how lofty goals of digital solidarity can falter when challenged by local governance realities. Drawing on Hansmann's ownership theory, collaborative governance concepts, and platform cooperativism, we conducted a qualitative case study involving policy documents, independent assessments, and 11 in-depth interviews with residents, officials, and technology developers. Findings reveal a marked disconnect between the initiative's stated emphasis on community co-ow…

Enhancing eLoran Timing Accuracy via Machine Learning with Meteorological and Terrain Data
The vulnerabilities of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) to signal interference have increased the demand for complementary positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems. To address this, South Korea has decided to deploy an enhanced long-range navigation (eLoran) system as a complementary PNT solution. Similar to GNSS, eLoran provides highly accurate timing information, which is essential for applications such as telecommunications, financial systems, and power distribution. Howev…

Manufacturing Revolutions: Industrial Policy and Industrialization in South Korea
I study the impact of industrial policies on industrial development by considering an important episode during the East Asian miracle: South Korea's heavy and chemical industry (HCI) drive, 1973--1979. Based on newly assembled data, I use the introduction and termination of industrial policies to study their impacts during and after the intervention period. (1) I reveal that heavy-chemical industrial policies promoted the expansion and dynamic comparative advantage of directly targeted industri…

"do not highlight any negatives."

Comparative Studies: Cloud-Enabled Adaptive Learning System for Scalable Education in Sub-Saharan
The integration of cloud computing in education can revolutionise learning in advanced (Australia & South Korea) and middle-income (Ghana & Nigeria) countries, while offering scalable, cost-effective and equitable access to adaptive learning systems. This paper explores how cloud computing and adaptive learning technologies are deployed across different socio-economic and infrastructure contexts. The study identifies enabling factors and systematic challenges, providing insights into how cloud-…

It's incredible that the Alberta Premier continues to claim a pipeline to the Northwest (Prince Rupert) is possible. Premier Eby was not there because he was in the middle of a pre-planned trip to Asia (Japan, South Korea, Malaysia). And he said today there won't be any reconsideration of another oil pipeline, "decarbonzed" or not. And Japan has no interest in heavy oil anyway.
"But Eby continued to pour cold water on other premiers' talk of building another oil pipeline across B.C. to the coast, saying there is already the taxpayer-owned Trans Mountain Pipeline, which is not being used to full capacity.
He added that the Japanese don't want heavy oil and thermal coal. And he has not altered his stance against lifting the heavy oil tanker ban on B.C.'s North Coast.”
