Navigating Fragmented Globalization: Local Content Policies in a New Trade Order by Yudan Whulanza, Eny Kusrini, Akhmad Hidayatno, Teuku Yuri M. Zagloel

“…These developments have accelerated a new wave of industrial policies, guided less by economic efficiency and more by strategic imperatives such as national security, supply chain resilience, and technological sovereignty (Cui and Jiang, 2025; Ju et al., 2024; Whulanza, 2023).This geopolitical shift has diminished the influence of established trade bodies such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), which in the past has become a symbol of the globalization of trade. As countries increasingly favour bilateral agreements and unilateral trade actions over multilateral discussions, tools like tariffs, export controls, and investment restrictions have regained prominence (Dang et al., 2024). …”

Mathematical simulation of the processes of two-beam laser controlled thermal-splitting of quartz glass by V. A. Emelyanov, E. B. Shershnev, S. I. Sokolov, A. N. Kupo

“…The simulation results show that with a bi-beam effect, the micromechanical stresses necessary for the formation of a microcrack are realized in shorter time intervals, both on the surface and in the depth of the material, which allows increasing the processing speed by up to 30 %. Strengthening control over the process of controlled thermal cracking can significantly reduce the percentage of defects and improve the quality of the resulting microeletronics products.…”
