This study is a normative legal analysis that employs a comparative approach, examining the laws of the United States and the United Kingdom. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that wiretapping regulations in Indonesia do not yet provide protection of privacy rights and do not yet accommodate Constitutional Court Decision Number 006/PUU-I/2003 and Constitutional Court Decision Number/5/PUU-VIII/2010, which mandate that wiretapping regulations be regulated in a special law and uphold human rights. Based on a comparative study with the wiretapping legal systems in the United States and the United Kingdom, it was found that in order to achieve ideal wiretapping regulations, in addition to being regulated in a special law, there is also a need for checks and balances to prevent arbitrariness and rigid and biased rules, as well as stipulating that every wiretapping action must be proportional to the objectives to be achieved. There must also be a strict internal, external and independent monitoring system covering the application for authorisation, implementation and termination of wiretapping, with an emphasis on the protection of personal data and the privacy of citizens. In addition, the following aspects must also be reflected: a. Legality; b. Due process. Safeguards Against Illegitimate Access; and d. Legitimate Aims, Necessity and ProportionalityItem Open Access The Impact of Distance on Willingness to Eat Out: Evidence From Samarkand, Uzbekistan(Pusat Publikasi Ilmiah| LPPM | Universitas Jambi, 2025-11-10)This study investigates the determinants influencing participation in gastronomic tourism in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, focusing on the role of distance, price satisfaction, and demographic characteristics. Using data collected from 303 respondents, logistic regression and decision tree analyses were applied to assess key behavioral predictors of culinary travel. The results reveal that distance is the most significant factor influencing willingness to engage in gastronomic tourism—individuals willing to travelfarther are substantially more likely to seek authentic food experiences. In contrast, satisfaction with food prices and demographic factors such as age, gender, and expenditure levels were found to be statistically insignificant. These findings highlightthat logistical accessibility outweighs demographic variables in shaping tourism participation. The study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence from an emerging destination, emphasizing the importance of mobility and access in gastronomic decision-making. Practical implications include the need for policymakers to improve transportation infrastructure, enhance culinary destination visibility, and promote authentic local food experiences. By strengthening these elements, Uzbekistan can better position itself as a prominent culinary tourism destination in Central Asia. The research also opens opportunities for future studies to explore psychological, cultural, and digital factors influencing food tourism behavior.Item Open Access Advanced Nuclear Energy: An Overview(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-10-30)“Advanced Nuclear Energy: An Overview” is a re-recorded version of a presentation given on July 28, 2025 in Kemmerer, Wyoming at a community conversation convened as part of the U.S. Department of Energy-funded project Engaging Wyoming Communities in Advanced Nuclear Energy Facility Siting. This presentation summarizes the main elements of advanced nuclear energy--what it is, how it differs from conventional nuclear energy, and why there is so much interest in it today. It covers the range of technical design features of advanced reactors--and small modular reactors in particular--and discusses the feasibility of meeting promises to reduce waste, costs, and safety and proliferation risks. Guided by the question, Can these next-generation advanced nuclear reactors help society broadly as well as local communities meet our current and future needs safely, affordably, and cleanly?, this presentation puts TerraPower’s Natrium demonstration project in Kemmerer into the broader context of the political, economic, and technical landscape of advanced nuclear energy.Item Open Access Soil Health Workshop(2025-09-25)This interactive lesson introduces students to the concept of soil health and how soil helps ecosystems respond to threats like drought. Students will learn the basics of soil health, go outside to collect soil samples, then test those soils for different properties that relate to soil health. This lesson works best for 8-20 students, grades 6-12, and a 1-1.5 hour class period, though can be adapted for different age groups and time constraints. If there is no outdoor access, instructors can bring in bags of soil for distribution, or students can bring soil samples collected from home.
