Naujos žinios apie kunigaikštį Vaidotą Kęstutaitį 1363 metais
Authors: Jankauskas Vytas
Published: November 2024

Straipsnyje pristatomas iki šiol į Lietuvos istoriografiją neįtrauktas šaltinis „Eulogium historiarum sive temporis“, kuriame yra lituanistinės medžiagos – minimas belaisvis karalius iš Lietuvos. Vienintelis Gediminaitis, kovų metu patekęs į Vokiečių ordino nelaisvę, buvo Kęstučio sūnus Vaidotas. Tai, jog jis atsidūrė Kipro karaliaus Petro I Luzinjano palydoje organizuojant naują kryžiaus žygį, 1365 m. nukreiptą į Aleksandriją, rodo pasiruošimo tokiems procesams svarbą Vakarų Europoje. Daroma prielaida, kad Vaidotas Kęstutaitis galėjo atsidurti Kipro karaliaus aplinkoje iškart po sumanymo paskelbti kryžiaus žygį, kuris buvo realizuotas popiežiaus kurijoje. Tokiu būdu popiežius galėjo pademonstruoti savo prielankumą kryžiaus žygio idėjai. Antrasis klausimas, susijęs su Vaidotu Kęstutaičiu, ar jis grįžo į Lietuvą? Nors tiesiogiai nepasakoma apie Vaidoto Kęstutaičio likimą, tačiau tokia galimybė nėra didelė. Čia lemiamą reikšmę turi Naugarduko klausimas. Jeigu Karijotas mirė anksčiau negu 1362 m. (jo mirtis datuotina tarp 1358 ir 1366 metų), tuomet Vaidotas Kęstutaitis galėjo gauti valdas Naugarduke dar iki patenkant į nelaisvę. Bet koks Vaidoto veikimas grįžus iš nelaisvės yra hipotetinis, tad didesnė tikimybė, kad jis galėjo ir negrįžti.

Published: November 2024

With the existence of sharia banking , banks carry out business in a way that complies with Sharia, known as Sharia principles. It consists of exchanging money in accordance with sharia principles while managing risk ( mudharabah ), managing money ( murabahah ), fairness or abundance ( ijarah ), or lending money from one bank to another ( ijarah wa iqtina ) and so on. In its development, institutions outside the banking structure, such as insurance, also participated. Insurance is a non-bank financial institution that operates in the economy outside the banking sector. It is tasked with supporting economic activities by providing investment and financing access services. The unique thing about sharia insurance is that it carries out procedures for all its activities with principles that are in line with sharia, so in all these cases it is also very important to see, measure, control and monitor risks that arise from operational activities. Therefore, the authors' skepticism regarding their hypothesis is whether or not there is an influence of sharia principles on risk management in sharia insurance. This research uses quantitative methods with descriptive statistical analysis . The impact of applying Islamic principles to risk management in the sharia insurance sector is that the application of Islamic principles to risk management in the insurance sector is very beneficial. However, there are parts that need to be limited and clarified as to what kind of disaster we can help with, of course this requires company regulations and customer agreements to be in good and correct accordance.

Mayor Inclusión Social Y Seguridad Ciudadana En Bolivia
Authors: Ribera Cuellar Julio
Published: November 2024

En los últimos años, Bolivia logro un conjunto de transformaciones sociales y económicas importantes: mayores niveles de crecimiento económico de Sudamérica, reducción de sus índices de pobreza, cambios demográficos significativos. Por ejemplo, el 67% de la población ahora vive en áreas urbanas y más de la mitad (57%) reside en las 9 ciudades capitales y El Alto, evidenciando un proceso migratorio campo–ciudad irreversible. Producto de este crecimiento, se amplió la clase media urbana con mayores ingresos, provocando a su vez la emergencia de nuevas demandas y necesidades por parte de la población. (PNUD. Informe Regional sobre Desarrollo Humano para America Latina y el Caribe., 2016). Sin embargo, estos cambios sociales y económicos no se han traducido en su totalidad en mejores condiciones de bienestar de la ciudadanía. Por un lado, la calidad del empleo no ha evidenciado mejoras, la inserción laboral de los jóvenes continúa precaria y la participación de las mujeres en el mercado de trabajo permanece por debajo de la de los hombres. Por otro, la calidad de los servicios de salud, vivienda y educación siguen siendo un reto para el país hombres (PNUD (Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo), 2015). Asimismo, este crecimiento vino junto a importantes retos en materia de seguridad ciudadana. Evidencia de esto es que la inseguridad y la delincuencia se ubican entre las principales preocupaciones de los ciudadanos bolivianos en los últimos años. Esto se explica, por un lado, debido al crecimiento urbano en el país que no ha sido del todo incluyente, pues, si bien se amplió la clase media, todavía existe un cúmulo de personas que no ha podido integrarse completamente a este grupo. En los hechos, esta clase media “vulnerable” tiende a experimentar mayores expectativas en su calidad de vida, pero sin oportunidades para concretarlas A su vez, las transformaciones sociodemográficas como resultado del crecimiento económico y los cambios sociales han constituido la existencia de nuevas estructuras familiares, la presencia de facilitadores del delito como el alcohol, las drogas y las armas y se ha presenciado la degradación de los espacios urbanos. (PNUD (Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo), 2015).

Impact of Color on Energy Efficiency in Interior Space Design
Authors: Anyanechi Honour Chizoba , Alabor Odezi Zaccheaus
Published: November 2024

This study explores the impact of color on energy efficiency in interior design, focusing on three building types: a secondary school, a hospital, and a residential building. Through a questionnaire administered to occupants, the research found that lighter colors enhance natural light reflection, reducing reliance on artificial lighting. In residential settings, 75% of respondents reported improved lighting efficiency with light-colored walls. In hospitals, darker color schemes were preferred for their cozy atmosphere but led to higher energy consumption due to increased cooling demands. In educational environments, lighter colors contributed to thermal comfort, especially in spaces exposed to direct sunlight. User satisfaction was linked to both aesthetic appeal and energy performance, with many preferring lighter tones for a brighter, more open environment. The study concludes that strategic color selection is essential for energy-efficient designs and offers recommendations for prioritizing lighter colors, using darker tones selectively, and involving occupants in the design process. These findings highlight the importance of balancing aesthetics with energy efficiency for sustainable interior spaces.

Authors: Adumah, P. C.  , Anyanwu Uchenna Nnanna , Nwokoye, M.
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the impact of foreign portfolio investment (FPI) on the development of the Nigerian capital market from 1986 to 2023, addressing challenges such as exchange rate volatility and inadequate technological advancement. The research aims to explore the following questions: What is the relationship between foreign portfolio investments and capital market development in Nigeria? How do exchange rate volatility influence the capital market development in Nigeria? What role do technological advancements play in enhancing market performance and attracting foreign investors? Data were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and the National Bureau of Statistics. A quantitative methodology was employed, utilizing the Johansen co-integration test, Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), and Granger causality test to analyze secondary time-series data. The Johansen co-integration test revealed a long-run relationship among the variables, while the VECM indicated that FPI negatively impacts market capitalization. Additionally, the Granger causality test demonstrated unidirectional causality from capital market development to FPI. To address the identified challenges, the study recommends that policymakers create a more supportive environment that ensures foreign investors can repatriate capital and earnings. The government should prioritize exchange rate stability that reflects market realities to enhance investor confidence. Investments in advanced technology are crucial to improving efficiency and accountability in market transactions.

Authors: Ola-Oluwa James Abidemi
Published: November 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in reshaping business processes and enhancing knowledge-sharing capabilities across various sectors globally. In Nigerian enterprises, AI holds significant potential to improve organizational efficiency and overcome persistent challenges, such as fragmented information systems, limited technological infrastructure, and gaps in workforce skills. This study explores the impact of AI on knowledge sharing and organizational efficiency within Nigerian businesses, emphasizing the practical implications of AI integration. A survey was conducted, with two hundred and thirty-four (234) respondents from diverse industries providing feedback through questionnaires. The data collected was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Hypothesis testing revealed a positive correlation between AI-driven knowledge sharing and organizational efficiency, with AI technologies enabling faster and more accessible information flow. The findings highlight AI’s potential to optimize knowledge sharing, helping employees make more informed decisions and fostering a collaborative work environment. For Nigerian enterprises, strategic investments in AI can enhance workforce efficiency, support strategic initiatives, boost productivity, and improve organizational agility, thereby creating competitive advantages in knowledge-driven sectors. However, organizations must also address challenges such as employee resistance and data privacy concerns to fully leverage the benefits of AI. Based on these findings, the study suggests that adopting change management practices and developing AI-specific policies can increase the success of AI initiatives, fostering a sustainable shift toward technology-driven growth in emerging markets.
Decolonizing Western Conducting: Gospel Music Conducting Practices in Twenty-First Century Southern Nigeria
Authors: Ossaiga Udoka Peace
Published: November 2024

At the initial stages when Western conducting was introduced to Nigeria, it was mainly used to direct European art music. This was the practice from the nineteenth century to the late twentieth century. However, in twenty-first century, Western conducting is utilized to direct gospel ensembles, especially in Southern Nigeria. Although some of the nuances used to conduct gospel music in the locale predate twenty-first century Nigeria, literature is scant on how gospel music is conducted; and how such practice decolonizes Western conducting in Southern Nigeria. In this paper, I purposively selected eighteen (18) gospel music conductors, utilized non-participant observation, interview; and the theories of decolonization and conducting dynamism to descriptively discuss gospel music conducting practices and how the conducting practices are decolonizing Western conducting in twenty-first-century Southern Nigeria. Findings indicate that gospel music conducting in the region rarely engages basic conducting beat patterns, lavishly utilizes audible counting and finger snapping, feet stamping, clapping; and dance/kinetics that are traceable to popular music traditions to remove the restraints of conducting classicism, and to elicit kinetics in tandem with gospel music performance tradition in Southern Nigeria. These decolonize Western conducting, produce a form of conducting that combines Western and popular music idioms; that is predominantly opposed to the restrains of classical conducting. These warrant canonization for conducting taxonomy and education in Nigeria and beyond.

Activismo y disidencia en el diseño de indumentaria. Emprendimientos autogestivos dentro de la cuarta ola transfeminista en Argentina
Authors: Roth Manuela Eva
Published: November 2024

En el artículo expongo el modelo teórico Diseño Masivo y Diseño Disidente que construyo a partir de las teorías críticas del diseño, y lo sitúo en relación con la cuarta ola feminista en Argentina. Este marco me permite indagar sobre las particularidades del Diseño Disidente de indumentaria en el país. Para ello, presento aquí una investigación colaborativa con dos emprendimientos autogestivos y sus fundadores. Basada en una serie de visitas, entrevistas y observaciones presento la filosofía y las prácticas disidentes de los emprendimientos, planteando sus contradicciones y tensiones. Por último, exploro el nexo —a veces incómodo, a veces productivo— entre la indumentaria y el activismo contemporáneo.

Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is frequently observed among basketball players, particularly in sports involving repetitive jumping movements. However, the overall impact of accumulated exercise load on the patellar tendon is still not fully comprehended. Therefore, the goal of this study is to examine how a simulated basketball game affects the biomechanics of stop-jump movements, specifically focusing on the effects on the patellar tendon. The kinematic and kinetic data were collected immediately after the warm-up and each phase of the simulated basketball game (P1, P2, P3, and P4). A musculoskeletal model was built to calculate patellar tendon force (PTF) and the key biomechanical metrics during the horizontal landing and vertical jumping phases were explored separately, followed by correlation analyses. Linear regression analyses were performed on variables strongly correlated with PTF. The accumulation of load led to significant differences (p < 0.05) in the angles, velocities, torques, work contributions, peak patellar tendon force (PTF), and anterior-posterior ground reaction force (APGRF) observed during the landing and vertical jump phases at the hip, knee, and ankle joints. PTF showed strong correlations with knee flexion angle, knee extension angular velocity, ankle plantarflexion angular velocity, and APGRF, with R2 values of 0.50, 0.58, 0.70, and 0.56, respectively. PTF significantly decreased in P3 and P4, possibly due to the subjects’ adaptation and adjustment of their stop-jump posture strategy after load accumulation, including reducing knee and hip flexion angles and decreasing the net knee extension moment.
Innovation in physical education teaching based on biomechanics feedback: Design and evaluation of personalized training programs
Authors: ZhaoriGetu H. , Li Chen
Published: November 2024

Psychometric training is a learning and development process that is tied to the requirements and interests of individual learners. The effectiveness and the fun of workout practices can be greatly enhanced by using more personal methods in training. These programs entail tailoring workouts to the fitness level and aims of every participant, as well as their perception of the workout plans. The suggestion of this investigation is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of individual physical training for teachers focused on biomechanics feedback. Proper body alignment is crucial during any exercise to avoid injuries and achieve maximum results; it is always difficult to sustain correct posture. For motion tracking and to give real-time biomechanics feedback to the students in this study, a refined convolutional neural network (RCNN) has been presented. Filming was done using high-speed cameras and motion capture systems to capture biomechanical responses, which included joint angle, muscle activation patterns, and body posture during activities. This study involved 158 participants drawn from different learning institutions. This approach offers rational and specific feedback on the postures of the body; it enables people to correct themselves and sustain motivation without engaging a trainer. In this study, participants with different levels of fitness engaged with the interactive system were compared to the traditional training method. The result indicated a positive shift in the delivery of personalized training with biomechanics feedback on the system’s potential teaching aid in physical education classes. The study, thus underscores the importance of technology supporting change in physical education programs to improve the student’s learning experiences and their performance in exercises.
