Published: January 2025

Bathymetric surfaces created from bathymetric data obtained by Hydrographic Survey Brigades
allow the representation of the relief of the seabed of a specific area and thus perform the analysis
of its behavior. Therefore, the main objective is to characterize the seabed of the mouth of the
Grijalva Tabasco River, by means of the difference surfaces and the TIN Model, and thus make
a comparison between them, defining their variability as a result of sedimentation. The
bathymetries of the hydrographic surveys that were considered for the study were those carried
out in 2012 with the R2Sonic multi-beam echosounder, in 2021 with the Hydrotrac II ODOM
single-beam echosounder and in 2021 with the Geoswathplus Compact multibeam echosounder,
processing the data obtained with the hydrographic programs Caris Base Editor 5.5 and Hypack
Software version 17.0 2021, obtaining the bathymetric surfaces of each year mentioned. The
results obtained are that there are areas in the lateral parts of the mouth with a higher concentration
of sediment, forming a coastal bar 2,500 m long by 612 m wide that reduces the depth to 1.8 m.
In addition, it was determined that the period of greatest presence of rain and drag of material
was the month of May to November. The above allows the implementation of actions to guarantee
the safety of navigation of those larger vessels that sail towards the port of Frontera Tabasco
Livres de lecture courante au féminin : entre soumission et émancipation, un reflet romanesque des débats de société
Authors: Prévost Christine
Published: January 2025

Certains manuels de lecture courante de la fin du xixe siècle ont adopté une forme romanesque, en suivant le destin d’un personnage de fiction, parfois jusqu’à l’âge adulte. Conforme aux savoirs scolaires définis par les programmes officiels, leur dimension romanesque leur permet aussi de témoigner de certaines réalités sociales, économiques et scolaires. Ainsi les livres destinés aux écoles de filles choisissent des héroïnes auxquelles les élèves peuvent s’identifier. L’article propose d’analyser la représentation de quelques-unes des figures féminines les plus fréquentes, afin de préciser le projet éducatif mis en œuvre : la paysanne, la couturière, la jeune bourgeoise en voyage, l’institutrice.

The Concept of Progressive Islam and the Pribumization of Islam in the Locality of Islam in Indonesia
Authors: Yasmin Arini Dina , Umam Fawaizul , Faizin M. Khoirul
Published: January 2025

Abstract: Indonesia, with its abundant cultural and religious wealth, faces challenges from radical Islamic groups that are incompatible with local values and pluralism. These groups which tend to hold exclusive and intolerant. The two main approaches that have emerged for interpreting Islam in this context are progressive Islam and Islamic indigenization. Progressive Islam, pioneered by Farish A. Noor encourages the adaptation of Islamic teachings to the values of modernity such as democracy, human rights, and pluralism. Meanwhile, the indigenization of Islam developed by Abdurrahman Wahid emphasizes the importance of integrating Islam with Indonesia's local culture. Both approaches reject radicalism and support an inclusive and tolerant form of Islam. However, they differ in focus and implementation, Farish is more global and theoretical, while Gus Dur is more local and practical. Both approaches are visible in social practices, Farish and Gus Dur support pluralism and human rights, although Gus Dur also emphasizes the importance of local cultural adaptation in daily religious practice. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method through a literature review of the works of Farish and Gus Dur, analyzing the main themes of each approach. The results show that despite their differences, these two approaches can complement each other in promoting relevant and contextualized Islam, contributing to social harmony and inclusive policies in Indonesia.

THE IMPACT OF REWARD AND PUNISHMENT MECHANISMS ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF WORK MOTIVATION
Authors: Azzahra Ghevira , Barry Rinto Rain
Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore the impact of rewards and punishments on employee performance, with an emphasis on the mediating role of work motivation in companies operating in the food industry. Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to 96 employees of the company, and the analysis was conducted using PLS-SEM via the WarpPLS 7.0 application. The results indicate that rewards have a significant impact on work motivation and employee performance, while constructively applied punishments also positively affect performance, although their effect is smaller compared to that of rewards. Work motivation has been shown to act as a significant mediator in the relationship between rewards and performance, whereas mediation in the relationship between punishments and performance did not show the same significance. These findings emphasize the importance of implementing a fair and constructive reward system to enhance employee motivation and performance.

The concept of management accounting as an element of the corporate management system
Authors: Kotelnikova N. V. , Beskrovnaya V. A.
Published: January 2025

Aim. The work aimed to formulate the main provisions of the concept of management accounting as an element of the corporate management system, addressing the needs of various stakeholders.

Objectives. The research explores the relationship between management accounting and other components of corporate management and develops the key provisions of the concept of management accounting such as goals, functions, tasks, strategies, and methodology.

Methods. The study employs analysis (to examine a number of provisions of the concept of management accounting) and synthesis to integrate the provisions into one concept.

Results. The article develops the basic provisions of the management accounting concept aimed at integrating its functions into the corporate management system, including the goal, objectives, functions, principles, strategies, and methodology, that ensure the generation of an integrated information environment. The concept takes into account the interests of both internal stakeholders (management, employees) and external stakeholders (investors, creditors, the general public). The management accounting is shown to support planning, organization, control, motivation, and coordination in the interests of sustainable business development, transparency, and trust.

Conclusions. Management accounting described in the article differs from traditional approaches by emphasizing stakeholder interests. Unlike existing methods focused primarily on internal analysis, the proposed concept expands the accounting functions, while integrating them into strategic and operational management processes. This study emphasizes the importance of creating a universal system that aligns with modern requirements for digitalization and sustainable development, increasing transparency, relevance, and trust of all categories of stakeholders.

Published: January 2025

Aim. The work aims to assess the impact of sanctions imposed by Western countries on the Russian leasing market.

Objectives. The article systematizes the stages of introducing sanctions against Russia, reviews the leasing market over time through the lens of introducing sanctions, characterizes the change in key indicators of the leasing market, and formulates the main trends of the Russian leasing market under sanctions.

Methods. The study employes empirical and analytical methods, including the calculation of statistical indicators reflecting leasing market dynamics. Aggregated tables and diagrams are based on data from the Expert RA rating agency to demonstrate the extent of influence of sanctions on the dynamics of the Russian leasing market.

Results. Being introduced in 2014 and 2022, the sanctions had a short-term negative effect. Then, due to the low base, the leasing market showed double-digit growth rates. The average annual growth rate of new business during the period of sanctions against Russia was 17.42%, and the total leasing portfolio was 13.60%.

Conclusions. The sanctions did not have a significant impact on the total volume of the leasing market. The opposite effect rather occurred due to their introduction.
”There Are Still Echoes of Eminescu in Us”: An Epigone in the Romanian Theatre of the Early 20th Century: Victor Eftimiu
Authors:   Universitatea „Babeș-Bolyai” Cluj-Napoca, Cicur Oana
Published: January 2025

The fairy-tale play Înșir-te, mărgărite represents the debut as dramatist of a young Albanian author, Victor Eftimiu, in his “adoptive” country, Romania, and one of the most often performed shows on the stage of the National Theatre of Bucharest, since its premiere in 1911.Considering the aforementioned elements, the present paper aims to demonstrate that Victor Eftimiu emulated Mihai Eminescu’s writing style (largely imitated in an epigonic manner at the beginning of the 20th century and afterwards) in creating this dramatized and versified fairy tale, which leads to a possible explanation for its box-office success, at the very least. In the following paper, we discuss three possible motivations for choosing Eminescu as a model, focusing on the association between the national poet and the Romanian language, on the cultural climate in the decades after Eminescu’s death and on the classic aesthetic attitude shared by both authors. Furthermore, we emphasize, on the one hand, the sonority of the verses in Înșir-te, mărgărite, which leads to a sense of Eminescu-like déjà vu. Moreover, we underline, on the other hand, the intertextual references in Eftimiu’s play, mainly illustrating the proposed connection between Eminescu and Eftimiu’s works with examples from two of Eminescu’s poems, inspired from the Romanian folklore. The profile of the pasticheur Victor Eftimiu should be understood in relation to a presumably profound identity crisis caused by the consciousness of alterity. Therefore, as the play Înșir-te, mărgărite both introduced Eftimiu in the Romanian theatre and helped him gain citizenship, the epigonism might have been a solution of cultural integration in a country characterised by a similar quest for symbolic values, before the Great Union.

Authors: Adetunji Adewale S. , Okekunle Pious O.
Published: January 2025

In this study, the effect of zinc oxide catalyst on the quality of bio-oil from catalytic pyrolysis of Zea mays indentata corncob in a fixed bed reactor at optimum bio-oil yield condition was determined. Non-catalytic pyrolysis was carried out in the temperature range of 450 – 600 oC and residence time range of 20 – 35 mins, according to D-optimal design of Design Expert software (version 13.0.1), to determine the optimum condition for bio-oil yield. Catalytic pyrolysis was carried out at the optimum condition for bio-oil yield with biomass to catalyst (b/c) weight ratios in the range 97.5/2.5 - 90/10, according to mixture methodology formulation of Design Expert Software (version 13.0.1). Elemental composition and the basic fuel properties of the bio-oils at optimum bio-oil yields conditions, including viscosity, pH value, ash content and flash point, were determined and compared with those of non-catalytic pyrolysis bio-oil. The highest bio-oil yield (44.94 wt.%) from non-catalytic pyrolysis was obtained at the temperature of 550 ℃ and residence time of 25 minutes. The highest bio-oil yield (37.45 wt.%) from catalytic pyrolysis at the optimum temperature (550 ℃) was obtained at biomass/catalyst ratio of 90/10. Catalytic pyrolysis bio-oils possessed higher carbon and hydrogen at b/c ratios of 96.67/3.33, 92.5/7.5 and 96.67/3.33. but lower oxygen and sulphur at 96.67/3.33, 92.5/7.5 and 90/10 than non-catalytic pyrolysis bio-oil. The use of catalyst reduced the viscosity, ash content (at b/c ratios of 96.67/3.33 and 97.5/2.5), and increased the pH value of bio-oils (at b/c ratios of 95/5 and 90/10). Catalytic pyrolysis improved the quality of pyrolysis bio-oil and can be moderately blended with petroleum diesel to power internal combustion engines.

Published: January 2025

This research focuses on the geochemical and mineralogical characterization of Tajimi iron ore, located in Kogi State, Nigeria, with the aim of evaluating its industrial potential through froth flotation. A comprehensive analysis of the ore was conducted using techniques such as X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), and petrographic analysis, followed by a beneficiation via froth flotation method. The chemical composition of the crude ore was determined to be 62.166% Fe2O3 and 18.568% SiO2, with other trace elements also identified. Mineralogical analysis revealed the presence of goethite and cristobalite as the dominant minerals, with significant interlocking within the ore matrix, which facilitates the comminution process. Froth flotation was employed to enhance the iron concentration, resulting in a froth concentrate with 68.260% Fe2O3 and a depressed product with 68.006% Fe2O3. The recovery rate of iron oxide in the concentrate was 32.941%, with an enrichment ratio of 1.098 and a concentration ratio of 3.333, indicating a successful beneficiation process. The findings suggest that Tajimi iron ore has significant industrial potential, though further refinement is needed to reduce silica and other impurities.
Considering peasant agency in the Early Middle Ages. A diachronic analysis of the archaeological record in Central Portugal
Authors: Tente Catarina , Prata Sara
Published: January 2025

This paper analyses archaeological data on early medieval rural communities through the lens of peasant agency. Over the last 15 years systematic research has been carried out in different territories of the Portuguese inland, mainly in the centre-north of the country. Here we will be focusing on the areas for which we currently have more detailed evidence, Alto Alentejo and Beira Alta, and consider a broad chronological frame, between the 5th and the 11th centuries. However, the information available for the two territories is uneven, and it is not yet possible to offer a continuous chronological sequence in either of these areas. For this reason, we will analyse the available data collectively and from a comparative perspective. In both cases we will start by considering the new rural settlement networks that emerged from the 5th century onwards. Evidence of peasant communities in Alto Alentejo is clearer for the 6th/7th centuries, and in Beira Alta for the 10th/11th. Both are critical moments in the political sphere, coinciding with the emergence and affirmation of new administrative structures, but also necessary power vacuums where local powers emerge. By comparing the material record of peasant groups, we will reassess agricultural production, management of natural resources, artefact production, trade networks, and funerary areas, as arenas to discuss the notion of peasant agency.

O artigo analisa alguns dos principais impactos  econômicos  e sociais determinados pelo ciclo expansivo da indústria de petróleo no município  de Macaé -RJ, que se consolidou como base operacional da Bacia de Campos. O período da análise compreende o interstício 2006/2017, que engloba a descoberta das jazidas do Pré-sal, ocorrida em 2006, e a crise econômica e política que envolveu a Petrobras, a partir de 2014. Empregam-se a abordagem do “Desenvolvimento Baseado em Cluster”, o método do Quociente Locacional (QL) e o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal e da FIRJAN para a  análise comparativa do município de Macaé e  municípios selecionados que integram a Bacia de Campos: Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio das Ostras e Niterói. Considera-se  que apesar de Macaé ter se beneficiado do ciclo expansivo da indústria petrolífera no período, sua extrema dependência  das receitas de royalties e atividades desenvolvidas pela Petrobras e empresas afins em seu território reproduziram a lógica do subdesenvolvimento, ensejando respectivamente a baixa diversificação do aglomerado petrolífero e do conjunto da economia de Macaé, com destaque para a indústria de transformação.

Introduction: The Black Middle Class Love and Intimacy
Authors: Khunou Grace
Published: January 2025

Although it has been difficult for researchers to speak with one voice about the conception of class, in particular, Black middle-classness (Khunou 2015), the concept has, however, been important in providing us with a sense of who the Black middle class is and how its members go about their everyday lives. This has been particularly important in South Africa, given the growth of the Black middle class since 1994. Most recently, the anthology, Black tax: Burden or ubuntu, edited by Mhlongo (2019), has attempted to unpack the everyday subjective experiences of the South African Black middle class, illustrating how, up to the present time, historical inequality has remained a feature of contemporary Black family experiences. Mhlongo’s (2019) anthology also shows how remittances, expectations, and lingering ideas of reciprocal care convolute links between working-class and middle-class family members. Most importantly, studies of class and the Black middle class have been edifying for understanding the language of class (Phadi & Ceruti 2013), precarity (Khunou 2015), and mobility (Krige 2014) and have facilitated an understanding of the political sphere in terms of voting patterns and the contradictory actions of the state (Burger, McAravey & Van der Berg 2015; Southall 2016).
Inadequate Mothers and Wives: The Challenges of the Black Middle-Class Position
Authors: Kaziboni Puleng
Published: January 2025

Studies of the South African Black middle class have been growing in number since 1994. These studies differ in their intentions and methodological approaches. To illustrate this variation, some of these studies have taken an interest in understanding the growth of the Black middle class; others examine one or more approaches to understanding its emergence; while others still pay attention to the life chances afforded by the middle-class position by means of critical interrogation of the inequality of opportunities for the youth in South Africa (Burger et al 2015; Visagie 2015; Zoch 2015). These studies have made significant contributions to our understanding of the Black middle class in South Africa. However, none of them concurrently examine the Black middle class, marital conflict, and intimacy. I thus felt energised to attend to this knowledge gap by paying close attention to situations that contribute to conflict in Black middle-class marriages and to the ramifications of marital conflict for intimacy.
Gender and Money in Cohabiting Relationships among Coloured Heterosexual Middle-Class Couples
Authors: Magro L’Oréal Laria
Published: January 2025

Studies of the Black middle class are increasingly prevalent in South Africa. This is primarily because this group is viewed as being significant for sustaining democracy and for understanding the political trajectory of the country. While most research on the Black middle class in the context of post-apartheid South Africa places great emphasis on comprehending how it was established (Adhikari 2009; Southall 2013), its emergence and growth (Canham & Williams 2016; Edwards & Hecht 2010), and what the preferences of its members are (Cronje & Roux 2010; Khunou 2015), not much work has been done to understand Black middle-classness and intimacy. Thus, the aim of this chapter is to centre the idea that intimate experience within Black middle-class spaces is as important as the class’s origins and preferences. Studying intimacy is ideal for understanding how socio-economic conditions influence social relations. With this in mind, it is the intention of this study to learn about intimacy from the perspective of the Black middle-class, specifically that of Coloured people,1 and the dynamics of their intimate relationships in cohabiting settings.
Conclusion
Authors: Khunou Grace
Published: January 2025

The chapters in this volume provide an important lens for viewing the intimate lives of the Black middle class in South Africa. A major thread running through them is how access to money as made possible by middle-classness and how intimacy influences the life experiences of the women and men interviewed for the various studies that make up this book. The chapters thus shed new light on the complexities of Black lives, intimacy, middle-classness, and issues of gender and money. The main finding presented in each chapter illustrates how middle-classness comes with its own challenges. Although being middle class confers access to opportunities and possibilities for accessing improved life circumstances, it does so in ways that also take away other normative benefits, particularly that of fully challenging and disrupting the norms which are assumed to be a characteristic of middle-classness. This is true for both women and men. For example, even though women gain financial benefits as well as those pertaining to status from their middle-class position, they also face unanticipated challenges which arise from their new identity as high-income earners.

Конный туризм - развивающийся вид экологического туризма. Турист и лошадь на маршруте почти всегда находятся в био- или агроценозе, основа которого - растения. Растения влияют на них положительно или негативно. Для безопасного передвижения коннику нужны базовые знания ботаники, умение распознавать ядовитые или опасные растения и грибы во избежание отравления и обеспечения питания лошади. Знания аграрных наук обеспечат благополучие лошади и безопасность при движении по агроценозам (полям, садам и т.д.).
ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА ЗЕЛЕНЫХ НАСАЖДЕНИЙ СРЕДНИХ
ГОРОДОВ ЮГА ДАЛЬНЕГО ВОСТОКА С ПОЗИЦИИ ИНДИКАТОРОВ

В работе приведены результаты расчета индикаторов, характеризующих сбалансированное городское развитие и связанное с этим качество городской среды. Районом для работы выступили средние города юга Дальнего Востока России. Исходя из этого, цель настоящей работы – оценка зеленых насаждений средних городов юга Дальнего Востока с позиции индикаторов качества городской среды. Основным методом для сбора данных и расчета индикатора стал геоинформационный. На основе расчета нормализованного вегетационного индекса растительности (NDVI) были выделены зеленые насаждения и древесные насаждения, а также охарактеризованы травянистые и кустарниковые растения. Полученные результаты позволили отметить, что в целом в границах города отмечаются высокие показатели озелененности, однако по направлению к городской застройке их значения снижаются вдвое. В городах следует проводить мероприятия по благоустройству озелененных территорий общего пользования, увеличивать их привлекательность и доступность. Ежегодно публикуемые отчеты, содержащие информацию об индексе качества городской среды, показывают улучшение городских условий и повышение привлекательности озелененных пространств средних городов юга ДВР.
