Authors: Mustaan Abdullah Gufronul , Muhdir Ibnu , Noipom Tawat
Published: March 2024

Zakat can appear as a sharia economic instrument that can balance an economy and fix the severity and depth of poverty. The potential of zakat in Lumajang is quite significant, but the total zakat funds collected are still far from the total target and potential of existing zakat funds. From there it can be seen that serious problems create gaps in the management of zakat. This study aims to provide a map of priority problems in zakat management and priority solutions that can be given to zakat management in Lumajang Regency. The method to find the priority scale used in this study is the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) involving four expert informants in the field of zakat. The results of the study reveal that the priority problems and solutions for zakat management in Lumajang Regency are three aspects, namely OPZ, Muzaki/Mustahik, and regulatory aspects. The most priority problem is from the OPZ aspect with a priority value of 0.638425 and the priority solution is also occupied by the OPZ cluster with a priority score of 0.581459.

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
Integrating technology in the digital 5.0 society, including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and financial services, is creating a new business model: digital finance (FinTech). Indonesia's focus on economic logistics systems, FinTech development, and economic integration has positively impacted the real economy. However, digital financial innovation also brings risks, such as market uncertainty. After the pandemic, digital financial inclusion empowers women to reduce the gender gap. The history of women's economic role, such as in early Islam, highlights their success in this sector. Government measures, such as inclusive programs, show efforts to encourage women's role in the digital economy but improved financial literacy and structural support are still needed. This study aims to analyze the determinants of socio-economic conditions and the role of the Indonesian Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS RI) in women's economic empowerment through digital banking services. This study chose a quantitative approach by conducting an online survey of 306 Indonesian womenpreneurs. The respondents' data was further analyzed using the SEM PLS analysis technique to test the proposed hypotheses. The results showed that digital banking is significant for womenpreneur empowerment in Indonesia. Financial literacy is strong, infrastructure is solid, and government support is in its favor. LPS RI protects digital banking services. recommendations including literacy campaigns, training, technology infrastructure, fiscal incentives, and government-LPS cooperation to advance womenpreneurs with financial technology.

Sharia m-banking users are increasingly rising among the Indonesian people. This study aims to analyze the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R)  approach to the adoption of Islamic m-banking with artificial intelligence among Generation Z. This paper contributes to or enriches the behavior of Islamic m-banking adoption with artificial intelligence  Which of course is expected to be a consideration in the formulation of policies for stakeholders including Islamic financial institutions. This research is a type of field research using quantitative methods. Data collection using questionnaires was conducted online through Google Forms. Analysis with PLS-SEM using Smart-PLS with a sample of 100 respondents spread across several regions in South Sulawesi. The respondents were determined by the main criteria, namely Muslims aged 11-26 years who represent Generation Z. The results showed that perceived usability and perceived intelligence positively affect trust. In addition, perceived usability positively affects attitude, while trust and attitude positively affect the adoption of  Islamic m-banking. However, unlike the case with perceived intelligence, service quality, and security do not significantly affect attitude, besides that service quality and security do not significantly affect trust. Meanwhile, the small impact produced by these factors. In addition, other factors have a greater influence on attitudes and beliefs in adopting  Islamic m-banking-AI.

The flow of foreign capital (FDI) into a country can be beneficial to the host country and for multinational companies as a form of external financing for the host country. This study aims to analyze and explain the factors that influence the foreign direct investment inflow of Developing-8 countries from 2012 to 2021 using a panel data regression model through fixed-effect approaches. This study found that the size of markets and trade openness have a significant positive impact on FDI in developing eight countries. Meanwhile, the availability of natural resources has significantly negative effects, but inflation and infrastructure have no significant impact on the flow of FDI into developing eight countries. To boost the inflow of FDI, it is also important for governments to be able to make appropriate and profitable policies for countries and companies that are beneficial to countries and domestic firms.

Published: March 2024

In the coastal ecosystem, seagrass meadows play a vital role in delivering ecosystem services such as provision, control, and support. However, this ecosystem is one of the most threatened in the coastal environment, and it has been degraded as a result of anthropogenic disturbance and rapid environmental changes. Furthermore, the extent of the seagrass meadows is unknown, and the health of the meadows is unmonitored and unrecorded. There is little information on the current state of the seagrass extent and health conditions in Karimunjawa National Park. We evaluate the abundance, states, and health conditions of the seagrass meadows based on the ecological quality index in Karimunjawa National Park, Jepara, Indonesia. This district has a vast extent of seagrass meadows but has been affected by the expansion of the industrial/tourism area within the region. This study aimed to assess the seagrass current condition based on the ecological quality index. The result showed that the total seagrass extent area in Karimunjawa National Park was 969,15 ha where seven species were found in this area, including Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, Cymodocea serrulate, Halodule pinifolia, Halophila ovalis and Halodule uninervis. Seagrass meadow coverages were moderate and categorized as less healthy. The seagrass ecological quality index value was 0.66 which indicated that the seagrass condition in Karimunjawa National Park was moderate. Ecological factors that affect the seagrass state are epiphyte cover and macroalgal cover.

The increase in development has increased the need for construction materials. One material often used is red bricks as a wall pair or barrier in the house. On the other hand, red bricks also have added value in terms of aesthetics. Generally, the main ingredients of bricks are clay, rice husks, and water, which are molded in a square shape, and the hardening process is through burning until it turns red and hard. By looking at the high need for bricks, this research aims to make a mixture innovation to the composition of bricks, namely adding gypsum powder waste to the composition of clay and bamboo leaf ash to the composition of rice husks. The variation used in this innovation is 2.5% gypsum powder waste in each sample of mixed red bricks, then in the variation of bamboo leaf ash by 5% and 7.5%. Like conventional red bricks, the size of red bricks is 23cm long, 10cm wide, and 5cm thick. The test results on conventional red bricks have a compressive strength value of 1.27 MPa and water absorption of 11%, while in red brick innovation, the optimal compressive strength value is in the variation of 2.5% gypsum powder waste in clay and 5% bamboo leaf ash in rice husk has a compressive strength value of 1.58 Mpa and water absorption of 9% where mixed red bricks are superior to conventional red bricks.
Změna klimatu a limity odpovědnosti států
Authors: Orlandin Piero
Published: March 2024

Climate change is now considered one of the greatest global challenges facing the world community. Climate change, or rather global warming, which is its main accelerator, is responsible for many of the negative impacts that people in different parts of the world are facing today. The world community is responding to climate change and setting clear targets to be achieved so that global warming begins to slow down and then returns to its natural equilibrium. However, this goal will not be achieved immediately, and certain parts of the world are already experiencing significant negative impacts that are affecting their human rights and fundamental freedoms. The question of responsibility, i.e., who is responsible for causing these negative impacts and who is responsible for addressing them, is still not closed. The so-called climate litigation, which has been spreading around the world since the middle of the last decade, could help to clarify it. Recently, human rights arguments have been emphasised in this litigation, and there is great potential that in the near future judicial and other decisions will eventually force states to act more effectively, especially on their international obligations and the potential liability consequences of non-compliance.
Dilema ochrany klimatu z pohledu práva: obnovitelné zdroje versus ochrana biodiverzity
Authors: Stejskal Vojtěch
Published: March 2024

The use of renewable energy is one of the priorities of common EU policies to achieve carbon neutrality and mitigate the effects of climate change. On the other hand, the protection of biodiversity, which also contributes to climate protection and is even a much older priority, is also one of the EU’s long-term priorities. In this article, the author analyses the current European and Czech climate legislation. He concludes that the analysis of the legislation shows that renewable energy production and biodiversity protection must be considered together in terms of planning, decision-making and enforcement. Climate protection can only be achieved if, in the future, the replacement of fossil energy sources is not unilaterally promoted in energy reform at the expense of biodiversity and the functioning of natural ecosystems. The question is, however, whether the Czech Republic is serious about measures towards carbon neutrality and energy security when it is still buying oil, natural gas and other strategic minerals from Russia two years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.

Published: March 2024

This paper examines how objectives of the European Union in the field of climate change affect the legal regulation of products and what impacts they also have on some connected issues. The current ecodesign legal regulation is based on the Ecodesign Directive and the particular requirements on products are then set in regulations following the Ecodesign Directive. The paper primarily focuses on the changes in ecodesign product regulation brought by the new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation proposal. The issue of the proposed legal regulation connected with environmental claims is also addressed in the text as it is an important complement to the sustainable products legal regulation.

Climate Litigation in Europe: a Discussion about Emerging Trends in the Context of Principle of Non-regression
Authors: Naz Němec Elif , Damohorský Milan
Published: March 2024

The climate crisis is one of the most serious problems that humankind has ever faced. With the adverse consequences of this phenomenon, new practices have emerged in social, economic, and legal structures. One of these new practices is doubtlessly climate litigation that aim to pressure states to fulfil their positive obligations concerning the mitigation of the human-induced climate crisis. Global warming, advancing at an unprecedented rate, is pushing governments to take immediate measures and shape their legislation accordingly. Within this movement, the principle of non-regression, rooted in human rights, has gained a tangible form in environmental law. This study explores the potential role of the climate crisis and, specifically, the climate litigation cases in Europe in establishing the principle of non-regression as a settled principle in environmental law. It discusses its value as an argument in climate litigation from a practical point of view.
Sustainable and Climate-Friendly Products: What Role Is There for Product Standards?
Authors: Kanický Jakub
Published: March 2024

The legal regulation of products within the European Union has witnessed significant developments over time. Originally driven by the imperative to remove barriers to the free movement of goods, it gradually incorporated environmental considerations, albeit to a limited extent. However, the importance of environmental requirements for products is gradually increasing and the effort to ensure that products placed on the market are sustainable and climatefriendly is gaining momentum. This article delves into the fundamental aspects of regulating products in the EU through the establishment of standards. It offers an analysis of the main trends of European standard-based product policy from a historical perspective and discusses various general contemporary issues of product standard-setting in the view of ensuring a high level of environmental protection.

Au milieu du XIe siècle, le Bas-Poitou émerge des brumes. Le souvenir de la dévastation des vikings et une nouvelle mémoire se forge, rédigée par les bénédictins et inscrite dans les notices et cartulaires.  

Autour des fondations aristocratiques, Talmond, Maillezais, La Chaize-le-Vicomte, une société surgit sous la plume des moines : des châtelains, soutiens principaux des communautés religieuses, des dépendants, travaillant la terre et des moines, œuvrant pour tous par leurs prières.  

Au cours du XIIe siècle, cette image se lézarde. Les conflits, les menaces d’excommunication se multiplient traduisant moins une rupture au sein de la  société qu’une profonde réorganisation : concurrence des nouvelles abbayes récemment installées, rivalités liées à l’extension des terroirs, frictions  commerciales… Derrière un discours qui évolue, les lignes de force se maintiennent : résistance des lignages châtelains qui s’adaptent pour défendre  leurs possessions, persistance d’une domination sur les individus malgré la disparition du terme servus, recomposition sociale qui favorise les grands seigneurs détenteurs des droits les plus lucratifs.

Offsetting Distortion Effects of Head Starts on Incentives in Tullock Contests
Authors: Knyazev Dmitriy , Moser Caspar
Published: March 2024

In this study, we examine a contest scenario where each player possesses a distinct head start that skews their chances of winning, thereby creating incentive distortions from the efficient level and adversely affecting the contest designer. While affirmative action policies offer a straightforward solution to counteract these distortions, their implementation may not always be viable in real-life applications. We characterize the unique class of non-discriminatory contest success functions (CSF) that enables to achieve an efficient level of effort when there are two players. Additionally, we demonstrate that achieving a symmetric equilibrium is unattainable without affirmative action when the contest involves more than two players.
Structural aspects of Pt(η3-X1N1X2)(PL) (X1,2 = O, C, or Se) and Pt(η3-N1N2X1)(PL) (X1 = C, S, or Se) derivatives
Authors: Milan Melník , Veronika Mikušová , Peter Mikuš
Published: March 2024

This article covers 26 Pt(ii) complexes of compositions Pt(η3-X1N1X2)(PL) (X1,2 = O, C, or Se) and Pt(η3-N1N2X1)(PL) (X1 = C, S, or Se). These complexes crystallized in two crystal classes: monoclinic (14 examples) and triclinic (12 examples). The heterotridentate ligand with monodentate PL builds up a distorted square-planar geometry around each Pt(ii) atom. Each heterotridentate ligand Pt(η3-X1N1X2)(PL) creates two metallocyclic rings with a common N1 atom of the O1C2N1C3O2, O1C3N1C3O2, O1C2NN1C3O2, C1C2N1C2C2, and Se1C2N1NC2Se2 types. In Pt(η3-N1N2X1)(PL) complexes, the tridentate ligand with a common N2 atom forms the following types of metallocyclic rings: N1C2N2C2C1, N1C2N2NCS1, and N1CNN2NCSe1. The total mean values of τ4 for respective complexes as it grows in the sequence: 0.056 (Pt(η3-O1N1O2)(PL)) < 0.091 (Pt(η3-Se1N1Se2)(PL)) < 0.161 (Pt(η3-N1N2S1)(PL)) < 0.174 (Pt(η3-N1N2Se1)(PL)) < 0.188 (Pt(η3-C1N1C2)(PL)) < 0.211 (Pt(η3-N1N2C1)(PL)). The distortion of the square-planar geometry increases in the given sequences. The structural data (Pt–L, L–Pt–L) are analyzed and discussed with attention to the distortion of a square-planar geometry about the Pt(ii) atoms as well as of trans-influence.

Public Debt Ratios Will Increase For Some Time. We Must Make Sure That They Do Not Explode
Authors: Blanchard Olivier
Published: March 2024

Given high long-term interest rates, most industrial countries have to either cut spending or increase taxes to contain government debt. As an immediate fiscal consolidation would cause economic and political harm, adjustment must be steady and slow, based on a credible plan. This implies that government debt levels have to increase before falling. This is not good, but not catastrophic, as advanced economies can sustain a higher debt ratio, so long as it is not exploding.
The existence of optimal solutions for nonlocal partial systems involving fractional Laplace operator with arbitrary growth
Authors: Peng Siyao
Published: March 2024

In this paper, we investigate nonlocal partial systems that incorporate the fractional Laplace operator. Our primary focus is to establish a theorem concerning the existence of optimal solutions for these equations. To achieve this, we utilize two fundamental tools: information obtained from an iterative reconstruction algorithm and a variant of the Phragmén–Lindelöf principle of concentration and compactness tailored for fractional systems. By employing these tools, we provide valuable insights into the nature of nonlocal partial systems and their optimal solutions.

Generalized Stockwell transforms: Spherical mean operators and applications
Authors: Ghobber Saifallah , Mejjaoli Hatem
Published: March 2024

The spherical mean operator has been widely studied and has seen remarkable development in many areas of harmonic analysis.
In this paper, we consider the Stockwell transform related to the spherical mean operator.
Since the study of time-frequency analysis is both theoretically interesting and practically useful, we will study several problems for the generalized Stockwell transform.
Firstly, we explore the Shapiro uncertainty principle for this transformation. Next, we will study the boundedness and then the compactness of localization operators related to the generalized Stockwell transform, and finally we will introduce and study its scalogram.

Authors: Kopar Mehmet , Erdaş Mehmet Umut , Yıldız Ali Rıza
Published: March 2024

In recent years, additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have been used in many industries, such as automotive, defense, space, and aviation. Depending on the development of this technology, the effect of the relationship between many parameters, such as raster angles, production speed, and melting temperature used during the production of materials, has been an important issue in the mechanical properties of materials. In this study, the effects of ±45° and 0–90° raster angles used during the production of 15 % short carbon fiber reinforced polyethylenetereflatate (CF15PET) and 30 % short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (GF30PP) materials on the mechanical properties of the materials were investigated. As a result of the study, it was determined that different raster angles affect the mechanical properties of both materials.
Approximate numerical procedures for the Navier–Stokes system through the generalized method of lines
Authors: Botelho Fabio Silva
Published: March 2024

This article develops approximate numerical solutions through the generalized method of lines for the time-independent, incompressible Navier–Stokes system in fluid mechanics. More specifically, we highlight the main objective of this article is the development of new approximate procedures for solving numerically the equation systems originated from a domain discretization related to a finite differences scheme. We recall that for such a method, the domain of the partial differential equation in question is discretized in lines (or more generally in curves), and the concerning solutions are written on these lines as functions of the boundary conditions and the domain boundary shape. Finally, it is worth emphasizing that in this text, we have presented softwares and results for a concerning approximate proximal approach, as well as results based on the original conception of the generalized method of lines.
Wortschatzerwerb – Wortschatzdidaktik – Wortschatzarbeit
Authors: Ballmer Sinja , Greber Larissa , Juska-Bacher Britta

Well-developed vocabulary skills are crucial for effective communication. Didactically speaking, it is therefore essential to explicitly foster the development of lexical competence in the classroom. This applies to both learners of German as a first and second language. The design of systematic vocabulary activities should aim to increase both the quality and quantity of learners‘ word knowledge and to ensure long-term retention of acquired words. While various approaches exist for teaching vocabulary in foreign language teaching, systematic and targeted approaches for supporting vocabulary acquisition in teaching German as a first language have yet to be established and, more importantly, effectively implemented in the classroom. Drawing upon findings from language acquisition research and linguistic models, we propose a framework for explicit vocabulary activities that facilitates the integration of new words into learners‘ mental lexicons (vocabulary breadth) and, in connection with this, promotes the development of semantic, relational, and formal word knowledge (vocabulary depth). The article will demonstrate how this framework was implemented in Deutsch Kindergarten, a new teaching resource developed in Switzerland. It will also highlight broader didactic principles, such as criteria for vocabulary selection and principles for vocabulary teaching, which should be considered in the classroom.
,Konsens‘ und ,Kompromiss‘ in der Schweiz
Authors: Schröter Juliane
Published: March 2024

In Swiss media, one can easily find statements that evaluate consensus and compromise positively and present them as typical of Switzerland. At first glance, these statements seem to fit perfectly with the assessments of numerous political scientists, according to whom Switzerland is a prime example of a consensus democracy. This article explores the characteristics of contemporary political discourses on consensus and compromise in Switzerland and identifies the underlying political concepts of ‘consensus’ and ‘compromise’ by use of methods from discourse analysis and conceptual history. These methods are applied to dictionaries and digital corpora covering media, parliamentary, and government language usage in Switzerland. Whenever possible, corresponding German data are also analyzed for comparison. The analysis shows that Swiss political discourses on consensus and compromise are characterized by linguistic patterns that cannot be found in corresponding German discourses to the same extent. These results strongly suggest a connection between the political discourses on consensus and compromise, the respective concepts, and the elements of consensus democracy in the Swiss political system, a finding which has various potential applications.
Contested Heritage in South Africa: Perspectives from Mahikeng
Authors:   Department of Geography, North-West University, James Drummond ,   Mahikeng and School of Tourism and Hospitality, University of Johannesburg
Published: March 2024

Mahikeng, the seat of the Ngaka Modiri Molema District and capital of South Africa’s North West province, has identified tourism as an economic driver based on cultural heritage related to Batswana, Boer, and British contestation. However, the colonial heritage is underutilised as visitors come to Mahikeng (formerly Mafeking) in search of experiences relating to the siege of Mafeking, the Anglo–Boer War, and the origins of the Boy Scouts movement but leave disappointed. This heritage has been downgraded in democratic post-apartheid South Africa as there is an agenda that seeks to highlight African cultural heritage, particularly relating to the anti-apartheid struggle. This formerly suppressed cultural heritage needs to be promoted as it is crucial to South Africa’s history, identity, and social cohesion. However, other heritages that are also important are falling by the wayside with the result that the country’s diversity as the ‘rainbow nation’ is being eroded, and heritage tourism opportunities, which could prompt Local Economic Development (LED), are missed. A more critical engagement with the colonial heritage by including African perspectives, critiques, interactions, and roles within the narrative is needed.
Contested Heritage(s) – The Case(s) of the Battle of Blood River (December 16th, 1838), Dundee and Nquthu, South Africa
Authors:   Department of Humanities Education, Faculty of Education, University of Pretoria, Clinton David van der Merwe
Published: March 2024

Battlefield tourism is a well-established niche in cultural and heritage tourism the world over. This paper explores the contested nature of a specific battlefield in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, where two separate museums exist to memorialise the same event, but from two perspectives. The Battle of Blood River (December 16th, 1838) remains a contested event in history books, portrayed from Afrikaner and AmaZulu points of view at the Blood River Heritage Site and Ncome Museum, respectively. People interested in visiting battlefields are slowly dying out, and if South Africa wants to take advantage of growing Battlefield Tourism in the future for surviving generations of those involved in these battles, a new approach will be necessary to sustain and develop this niche of cultural and heritage tourism in the country. This paper uses netnography to analyse the internet footprint of this historical event through the museums’ websites. The paper argues that a more balanced and two-sided perspective should be given at both museums to grow and develop the interest in battlefield tourism across South Africa and encourage mutual visitorship to both museums on the same battlefield site.

Background and objectives: Nosocomial infection is one of the main reasons of mortality and has significant financial costs due to elevated hospitalization and prognosis; thus, they should be prevented and controlled. This study aimed to assess the practice of the nursing staff regarding infection control measures at Raparin Teaching Hospital for Children. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted in Raparin Teaching Hospital for Children in Erbil City, Kurdistan Region/Iraq. A purposive sample involving 81 nurses working in emergency, ICU, NICU, and surgical units at Raparin Teaching Hospital for Children who care for children was selected for the study. The researcher developed a checklist format developed by the researcher for data collection that included three parts: socio-demographic characteristics, vaccination history, and nurses’ practice regarding infection control measures. The data were processed and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 26. Results: Most (77.8%) of the nurses were living in urban areas and they showed fair performance (81%). The results showed that 45.5% of ICU nurses outperformed their counterparts in terms of performance. The results also revealed that the younger nurses were better in terms of performance. Furthermore, the results revealed that 75.3% of the nurses have fair performance, 17.3% have good performance, and 7.4% have poor performance. Conclusion: Based on the overall performance of the nurses, most of the nurses have fair infection control practices, and the minority of them have poor practices. Younger nurses showed better performance in comparison to others.

Published: March 2024

Background and aims: Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer in the world, and the aim of the study was to determine the quality of life. and its related factors in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was conducted in Iraq in 2022 on 100 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy who were randomly collected in Rizgary Teaching Hospital and Nanakaly Hospital for blood disease and cancer. The instrument used for data collection consisted of demographic and medical data (age, gender, educational level, marital status, occupation, economic status, residency, cigarette smoking, family history, stages of lung cancer, and types of lung cancer), another section was the functional assessment of cancer therapy-lung questionnaire (FACT-L), specifically designed for the measurement of quality of life in patients with lung cancer. Categorical data were presented as frequency and percentage and the mean± SD was calculated for continuous data, independent t-test, and Chi-square test was also used; Binary logistic regression was run to determine the effect of the predictors on poor quality of life in lung cancer patients a P-value ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The overall quality of life was poor (59%), the mean± SD for Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Lung Cancer Subscale (FACT-L) was 66.19 ± 10.54, and Trial Outcome Index (TOI) was 39.77±5.51, The following variables were associated with a poor quality of life: age >50 (P-value =0.020, OR= 2.47), female (P-value =0.006, OR= 3.02), uneducated (P-value =0.0005, OR= 1.86), ex-smoker (P-value =0.040, OR= 2.14), insufficient income (P-value =0.037, OR= 2.69). Conclusion: The quality of life of lung cancer was lower in physical well-being, functioning well-being, and lung cancer subscale compared to social/family well-being, and emotional well-being, as generally, the quality of life of most lung cancer patients was poor.
