Published: November 2023

Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) are the backbone of the financial system, playing a crucial role in mobilizing savings, allocating capital, and facilitating economic growth. In light of this, the study focused on the analysis of firm attributes and how they affect the financial performance of Nigeria's publicly quoted deposit money banks with a strong emphasis on analyzing how board size, board independence, board diversity, board expertise, and CEO duality affect the financial performance of the selected institutions. Return on assets (ROA), return on equity, (ROE) and Tobin's Q (TQ) were employed to evaluate financial results. The study used ex-post facto and longitudinal research designs in obtaining the data from the financial statements of the selected banks. The population of the study was nineteen (19) deposit money banks listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group profile as of 31st December 2021. The choice of selection of this sector was based on the fact that banks are the bedrock of Nigeria’s economy. The study used a purposive sampling technique due to the complete availability of data and the sample size was ten (10) firms. The data collected for this study we reanalyzed by panel estimation techniques. The results found that board size had an insignificant effect on ROA, ROE, and TQ. Whereas board independence, board diversity, board expertise, and CEO duality had a significant effect on ROA, ROE, and TQ. The study concluded that the number of board’s members did not have anything to do with the financial performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study recommends that deposit money banks should adhere strictly to corporate governance codes and ensure the complete independence of their directors to enhance their financial performance.

Community Based Rainwater Harvesting in a Residential Area of Dhaka
Authors: Mamun Md. Abdullah Al , Islam Md. Shofiul , Hossain B.M. Mobarak
Published: November 2023

During dry season, there is a serious deficiency of water supply in and around Dhaka city. The residents suffer a great extent during this period. On the other hand, during monsoon, there is abundance of water which is not used effectively and hence reaches the storm sewer system or a river. Rain water harvesting gives an opportunity to store rain water and to use the stored water later for different purposes. In Dhaka, 80% of the total supplied water comes from groundwater and remaining 20% comes from surface water. However, the population of Dhaka is increasing exponentially resulting in excessive pressure on ground water. The withdrawal of groundwater is taking place at a faster rate than recharge. The groundwater table in Dhaka city is declining at the rate of 3m annually. If this condition continues, very soon Dhaka city will face serious water crisis. In order to address this problem, in this study, rainwater harvesting has been looked into as a sustainable solution. More specifically, a community-based approach was considered. Aresidential community was considered for designing rainwater harvesting system. It was observed even though the harvested rainwater doesn’t meet the full domestic demand but provides significant supplementary support during monsoon season. Community based rainwater harvesting also have the potential to decrease the seasonal flooding in the urban areas. It was observed that rainwater fulfil up to 39% of household water demand in this thesis building
EDUCATION AND NATIONAL IDENTITY OF BOSNIAKS
Authors: Zukić Melisa
Published: November 2023

The identification as a belonging of a person to the territory, people, culture, religion becomes one’s authentic property, identity. National identity includes territorial and ethnic type. The basic integrating element is religion, the holder of ethnic values and the development of national consciousness. Bosniak nationality is determined by birth and practice of Islam. Education is a reflection of the social system, foundation of the emancipation of man, an instrument for achieving an individual‘s identity, social prestige, authority and power. After World War II mandatory education contributes to personal and social emancipation of Bosniaks. Contemporary Muslim identity crisis marked with dilemma Ummah or secular nationalism has been brought through ignoring, over a national name Muslim, to an authentic name Bosniak by educationally emancipated Bosniak intelligence. Through liberalization and transformation of relations with the country, the Islamic community, as a substitute for national institutions of Bosniaks, renews its formal and informal educational activities. New educational institutions have been opened and the existing ones have been reformed, and Islamic religious education under the auspices of national subjects has been returned to the public school system, closing the impact of educational emancipation as an instrument of constituting national identity.

Elements of the foundation of foreign language teaching policies in bih (culture and cultural diversity)
Authors: Softić Mejra
Published: November 2023

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a multiethnic and multicultural society in which, traditionally, there is a high degree of sensitivity to the need to respect, promote, get to know, connect and preserve different cultures. This paper primarily tries to point to the multifaceted cultural identity of BiH and the fact that cultural, traditional and religious diversities and civilizational permeations with elements of European and Oriental-Islamic culture have had a strong influence on planning the policy of teaching foreign languages in this country for centuries. By enduring strong political and cultural influences of East and West, Bosnia and Herzegovina, with contemporary designed curricula in primary and some secondary schools, has opened the possibility of combined teaching of European and oriental languages for the last ten years. The main goal is that students from an early school age face cultures of completely different climates and, by bringing such cultures to correlation with each other and to the correlation with the native culture, to learn tolerance, understanding and appreciation of what is strange and different. The paper also deals with the close relationship of a foreign language and culture of the people who use it and points to the necessity of the language acquisition through teaching elements of the foreign culture, and this method introduces students to the process of intercultural learning of the foreign language and positively influence the development of their cultural communicative competences. BiH has strong intentions to make foreign language curricula fully compliant with modern European concepts in the teaching and learning foreign languages.

An increasing number of children around the world, including Bosnian children, are being educated in a second language (L2). This L2 learning in primary school settings raises interesting questions about developing L2 vocabulary. Investigating the nature of vocabulary knowledge in these L2 children is important particularly as they face the significant challenge of acquiring L2 vocabulary in order to handle school work. This is the case with the children who participated in this study. They attend the first grade at International Primary School in Sarajevo where key subjects are taught in English. In this research different approaches have been used to help young learners develop their vocabulary. There was a big improvement in acquiring new words after implementing all activities appropriate for young learners. I hope that this research may benefit teachers and pedagogues seeking to maximize their class time and their students’ language learning potential.

AL-GHAZAL – ARABIAN LOVE POEM IN THE PRE-ISLAMIC AND UMAYYAD PERIOD
Authors: Rebronja Semir
Published: November 2023

The paper treats the Arabic love poetry and its main features in the pre-Islamic and Umayyad period. The formation, development and characteristics of this poetry are closely related to the nature of the poet, as well as the place of its origin. Based on this, we distinguish between urban and desert ghazals. From the point of stylistic peculiarities, as well as the poet‘s commitment to the aim of his poetry, urban ghazals are equalled with hedonistic and desert ghazals with uzrit or Platonic ghazals. The origins date back to the early periods and the beginning of the Arabic literary tradition. And the oldest poems that we have today begin with an introductory love prologue, which had a significant place at the very beginning of the pre-Islamic kasidah and was a prelude to further poet’s singing.
The love poem was transferred to the Umayyad period, but in a new form and with new linguistic-stylistic peculiarities, and also, the Umayyad epoch was the period of independence of ghazals as an independent poetic genre. This has put the ghazal in a rightful place in Arabic literature and in the future it will very rarely have the role from the period of a pre-Islamic kasidah, when it was only one sequence in the poet‘s singing.

SHEIKH YUSUF AL-QARADAWI AND THE DIRECTION OF WASATIYYA – ISLAMIC BALANCE AND MODERATION
Authors: Halilović Safvet
Published: November 2023

Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi is a prominent contemporary Islamic scholar, lawyer, writer and erudite. He is the author of over two hundred books and studies on Islam, Islamic law (fiqh and fatwa), culture, civilization, ethics and education. He is the president of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, the European Council for Fatwa and Research, and a member of other numerous Islamic scientific and international associations. He is known as a supporter of a middle or moderate direction (al-wesatiyya al-Islamiyya) in the interpretation of Islam, its teachings, rules and regulations. This is the direction that does not allow any kind of extremism, but, at the same time, it does not allow any relaxedness in faith. Due to this fact, Sheikh Al-Qaradawi is trusted by the vast number of Muslims around the globe, from Indonesia to Morocco, from South Africa to Russia, especially among Muslims living in Western Europe and America. All his works are imbued with the idea of wesatiyya, which could be translated as Islamic centrality (middle path). In this approach of the interpretation of Islam, there is no place for extremism or exaggeration of any kind.
On the other hand, Al-Qaradawi’s approach to Islam, as it does not allow extremism, at the same time it does not allow relaxedness, arbitrariness or interpretation of Islam as „custom-made“ or, perhaps, for the sake of one's desire, interest, affection or pleasure. Al-Qaradawi often emphasizes that God's pleasure is above anyone else's. Relaxed, irresponsible and tendentious interpretation of Islam is very dangerous and harmful to the Muslim Ummah. It is, in fact, one of the greatest dangers for the Muslims of modern times, which is why Al-Qaradawi often emphasizes that to question the Islamic constants (et-teshkik thewabit fi al-Islam), i.e. relativisation and discrediting what is permanent and invariable in Islam is very dangerous for Islam and Muslims. Perhaps because of these beliefs, this prominent scholar is not welcomed in some circles, either in the West or in the East, who would like to change or, in some way, tailor Islam. However, this does not diminish the greatness of the sheikh Al-Qaradawi and respect that millions of people around the world feel towards him. This paper discusses the main features of Al-Qaradawi’s approach in the interpretation of Islam.

The research was conducted at Bantara University in the province of Central Java, Indonesia. Participants included undergraduate students enrolled in advertising classes, graduate students teaching advertising, and professionals working in the advertising industry. "Semi-directive" interviews and observations were used to gather information for the research. Students who are members of the advertising storyboard design task team and the advertising storyboards they create are the main material for this research. The research results found that when cooperative learning theory was used in the form of group learning and TGT, students were more involved, enthusiastic, open, and active in carrying out their respective roles, respected each other, cared, and controlled their emotions towards each other and the subject matter. Students who participate in TGT and other forms of collaborative learning are also more likely to take risks when expressing their original ideas and opinions. Students can achieve the highest level of competency through the use of cooperative learning theory, which is realized in the form of group learning and TGT. The task force's efforts demonstrate this by acting as an advertising company and producing original work in the form of various storyboards for advertisements. Based on the skills taught in advertising classes, students can effectively create textual and graphic advertising storyboard designs.

Managing learning classes creatively is one aspect of being a professional educator. The teacher must adapt to the learning objectives, materials, and students' personalities in preparing and planning for learning. Even though preparations have been carried out optimally, it does not rule out the possibility that learning has not performed optimally due to certain factors. To prevent students' enthusiasm for learning from waning, instructors can use ice-breaking activities to combat boredom during classroom instruction. This study aims to investigate ice-breaking techniques' impact on middle school pupils' academic motivation. This investigation employs a descriptive methodology with a qualitative approach. The research objects were eleventh-grade students and their instructors, who served as the research subjects. The research was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation of secondary school instructors and students who were the subjects of the study. The study results indicate that the ice-breaking technique can increase students' interest in learning, particularly in challenging subjects. In addition, this method can strengthen the relationship between students and instructors. This research has intriguing aspects, including how and what this article discusses.

Abstract. Over the past decades, northern China has been suffering from persistent air pollution caused by both fine and coarse atmospheric particles. Although there are plenty of theoretical and observational studies on aerosols in northern China, most of them only consider total aerosol concentrations and focus on heavy pollution episodes; the long-term vertical distributions of dust (coarse) and anthropogenic aerosols (fine) and their relationships with the mixing layer height (MLH) have not been revealed. In this study, the dust and anthropogenic aerosols' mass concentration and the MLH were retrieved by polarization Raman lidar over Beijing from May 2019 to February 2022. We found that large amounts of anthropogenic aerosols accumulate at the top of the mixing layer, which is most noticeable in summer, with monthly mean mass concentration up to 57 µg m−3. It is mainly influenced by the southward transport in the upper air, where the atmosphere is relatively stable and moist, favoring hygroscopic growth of particles. Dust mass concentration is discontinuous in the vertical direction, not only on the ground but also in lofted layers that reach up to several kilometers. The heights of these lofted dust layers exhibited apparent seasonal dependence, with the height of the main dust layer gradually ascending from 1.1 km to about 2.5 km from April to June and below 3 km from October to December. In addition, there is a significant negative correlation between bottom anthropogenic aerosols' mass concentration and the MLH, and an inverse function fit is more suitable to characterize this relationship, while the relationship between bottom dust mass concentration and the MLH is insignificant. These results will enhance our understanding of the sophisticated interactions between dust and anthropogenic aerosols, the MLH, and regional transport in northern China. It will also help to refine atmospheric chemistry models and improve surface prediction capabilities.

Abstract. Substorms are a commonly occurring but insufficiently understood form of dynamics in the coupled magnetosphere–ionosphere system, associated with space weather disturbances and auroras. We have used principal component analysis (PCA) to characterize the spatiotemporal development of ionospheric equivalent currents as observed by the International Monitor for Auroral Geomagnetic Effects (IMAGE) magnetometers during 28 substorm onsets identified by Frey et al. (2004). Auroral observations were provided by all-sky cameras. We found that the equivalent currents can typically be described by three components: a channel of poleward equivalent current (wedgelet), a westward electrojet (WEJ) associated with an auroral arc, and a vortex. The WEJ and vortex are located at the equatorward end of the channel, which has been associated with bursty bulk flows (BBFs) by previous studies. Depending on its polarity, the vortex either indents the WEJ and arc equatorward or bulges the WEJ poleward while winding the arc into an auroral spiral. In addition, there may be a background current system associated with the large-scale convection. The dynamics of the WEJ, vortex, and channel can describe up to 95 % of the variance of the time derivative of the equivalent currents during the examined 20 min interval. Rapid geomagnetic variations at the substorm onset location, which can drive geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in technological conductor networks, are mainly associated with the oscillations of the WEJ, which may be driven by oscillations of the transition region between dipolar and tail-like field lines in the magnetotail due to the BBF impact. The results contribute to the understanding of substorm physics and to the understanding of processes that drive intense GICs.
