Authors:   A. A. Kadyrov Chechen State University, Grozny, Russia, Demilkhanova Bela A.
Published: January 2025

In the process of implementation of the region’s investment policy, considered in conjunction with innovation policy, the question of the achieved level of investment and innovation activity, the increase of indicators of utilization of investment and innovation potential of the region’s development inevitably arises. The key indicators of growth of investment and innovation activity of the region are the indicators of dynamics and structure of investment in fixed capital.
In the article on the basis of the form of presentation of official statistical data on the structure of investments in fixed capital and expenditures on technological innovations by directions, the indicator of the level of innovativeness of investments in fixed capital, used as a factor indicator in the constructed deterministic multiple model of factor analysis of investments in fixed capital, is formed. It has been established that the level of innovativeness of investments in fixed capital is not a determinant of changes (growth) in the volume of investments in fixed capital in the Chechen Republic. The factor “volume of innovative investments in machinery and equipment” has a positive impact both on the change in the volume of investments in fixed capital and on the change in the level of their innovativeness.

This scientific article is dedicated to defining current approaches to credit risk analysis within the framework of banking activities.
The objectives of the research include: analyzing the concepts of credit risk and default; reviewing the recommendations of the Basel Committee; characterizing the Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) approach; and evaluating the Value at Risk (VaR) methodology.
The authors employed general scientific research methods: deduction, induction, generalization, comparative analysis, synthesis (integration), study, and theoretical analysis. Minimizing credit risks is a priority task for the banking sector. To achieve this goal, there is a variety of methods for assessing lending risks. Banking professionals face the complex task of selecting the optimal methodology and its application period when analyzing credit risks. The conducted research demonstrates the importance of an integrated approach to assessing lending risks in the banking sector, taking into account current requirements and methodologies that ensure effective risk management and maintain financial stability.
The analysis showed that the implementation of Basel III standards significantly improves the quality of credit risk assessment. The IRB approach allows banks to apply their own risk assessment models. The study confirms that this method provides a more accurate forecast of default probabilities and credit losses by considering the individual characteristics of borrowers and loan portfolios. The VaR methodology demonstrates high effectiveness in predicting potential losses under adverse scenarios.

The transformation of the modern economic structure and the changes occurring under the influence of digitalization of all spheres of society are exacerbating the problems of increasing the risks of increased financial crimes. The criminal world is also transforming, adapting to the changes taking place, often outpacing the dynamics of the economic system and its legal support in terms of diversification and methods of illegal money circulation.
The article examines the types of financial crime in the Russian Federation for 2021–2023. An analysis of the activities of institutional structures to identify and suppress illegal money circulation is carried out: Rosfinmonitoring and the Bank of Russia. The author noted that close interaction of all government institutions contributes to the timely suppression of illegal financial activities, and, as a result, leads to a reduction in criminal acts in the sphere of illegal money circulation.

The article systematizes the existing definitions of the concept of “cryptocurrency”, concludes about the complexity and multidimensional nature of this concept, as well as the lack of a unified approach to its interpretation. The understanding of the definition of cryptocurrency as a new digital type of money protected by a cryptographic code with the impossibility of its forgery or copying, which can be used to measure the value of goods, services and other monetary units, used for commodity circulation, savings and investment, is summarized. It is determined that the main characteristic features of all cryptocurrencies are: decentralization, anonymity, limited supply and scarcity, speed, globality, irreversibility and security of transactions. The set of elements that ensure the release and turnover of cryptocurrencies, as well as their use, forms the object of management-the cryptocurrency market itself. It is a system that combines into a single whole all the elements that ensure the release (issue) of cryptocurrencies and their circulation according to the laws of supply and demand between participants in this market.
Based on the results of a retrospective analysis of the emergence and development of cryptographic money, it is concluded that their historical beginning can be considered 1983, when American researcher David Chaum developed a system that made it possible to combine anonymity of payments with transparency for all market participants called “eCash”. The first full-fledged cryptocurrency was bitcoin, created in 2008. The article reflects the current challenges and prospects of the cryptocurrency market. The possibility of high returns attracts investors, but the lack of transparent regulation creates risks. Adapting legislation to international standards is one of the key ways to minimize these risks. This will not only help expand the crypto asset market, but also strengthen user protection and promote trust in this instrument as a financial asset. It can also be noted that, in addition to regulatory measures, an important aspect is the educational component on accounting and taxation of transactions with cryptocurrency. Informing users about the possible risks and principles of the cryptocurrency market will help investors make more informed decisions and avoid financial losses due to a lack of understanding of the specifics of this asset.

Published: January 2025

The article examines the application of the provisions of the Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks (2007) in Russia. The study highlights the challenges of implementing the Convention in the Russian context, including the absence of a unified registry for sunken vessels, insufficient insurance limits, and the limited capacity of the domestic insurance market. The authors argue for the necessity of adopting international practices and regularly adjusting insurance sums to address the financial and environmental risks of shipwrecks.
Additionally, the article analyzes the state of shipwreck removal projects in Russia, focusing on the financial inefficiency of current approaches and the lack of competition among insurers. Recommendations are proposed for creating a competitive marine insurance market and developing a centralized system for managing sunken ship recovery. The paper also explores the potential for international collaboration within BRICS to establish transnational structures for shipwreck recovery and risk management.

The article discusses the hybridization of machine learning and statistics methods to improve the interpretability of models. Interpretability is a key factor for decision making in areas such as medicine, finance, and social sciences, where algorithm transparency is critical. The proposed approach combines the accuracy and flexibility of machine learning with the analytical capabilities of statistical methods. Integration methods are discussed, including the use of confidence intervals, Bayesian methods, principal component analysis, and post-hoc interpretation approaches such as SHAP. The results demonstrate that hybrid methods allow justifying the significance of predictors, taking into account the uncertainty of predictions, and adapting the level of explanations to the needs of different users. The advantages, limitations, and prospects for further development of hybrid approaches are discussed. The work opens up new opportunities for creating transparent and reliable models applicable to critical problems.

Authors: - Suchismita Chatterjee
Published: January 2025

The increasing reliance on digital infrastructure in the energy sector has intensified the need to secure sensitive data, particularly in environments governed by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) standards. This paper examines the comparative effectiveness of on-premises and hybrid cloud solutions in securing NERC Bulk Electric System Cybersecurity Information (BCSI). It explores critical factors such as compliance adherence, data sovereignty, scalability, and operational resilience. While on-premises systems offer robust control over data and infrastructure, hybrid cloud models provide flexibility and cost-efficiency, albeit with additional challenges in maintaining consistent security protocols across platforms. Through a detailed analysis of case studies and security frameworks, the paper highlights best practices for selecting and implementing secure infrastructure. The findings aim to guide energy sector stakeholders in making informed decisions that balance innovation with stringent regulatory compliance.

Published: January 2025

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays a critical role in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis. Its dysfunction is implicated in cardiac senescence, a hallmark of aging characterized by cellular decline and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This meta-analysis investigated the association between eNOS, cardiac senescence, and cardiovascular aging, exploring underlying molecular mechanisms and clinical outcomes. A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases was conducted for relevant studies published between 2013 and 2024. Studies investigating the relationship between eNOS, cardiac senescence markers (e.g., telomere length, p53, p16), and cardiovascular outcomes (e.g., heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke) were included. Data were extracted and pooled using random-effects models. Nine studies (n=4,875 participants) met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis revealed a significant association between reduced eNOS activity and increased cardiac senescence markers (standardized mean difference [SMD] = -0.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.20 to -0.50; p<0.001). Furthermore, eNOS dysfunction was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events (relative risk [RR] = 1.62; 95% CI, 1.25 to 2.10; p=0.001). Molecular analysis indicated that eNOS dysfunction contributes to cardiac senescence through increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and impaired autophagy. In conclusion, this meta-analysis provides compelling evidence for the detrimental role of eNOS dysfunction in cardiac senescence and cardiovascular aging. Targeting eNOS may offer promising therapeutic strategies to mitigate age-related cardiovascular decline.
Effect of Unrelated Diversification Strategy on Organizational Performance among Star-Rated Hotels in the Kenyan Coast
Authors: Kitoto Jacob Owenga
Published: January 2025

Despite its growth, potential contribution to the economy and being an integral part of tourism destinations, the performance of the hotel sector has remained susceptible to both domestic and global uncertainties. Most of the studies conducted in developed countries concentrate majorly on manufacturing firms. This creates a gap in developing countries. This study was guided by the following objective: To examine the effect of unrelated diversification strategies on organizational performance among star-rated hotels on the Kenyan coast. An embedded mixed method comprising a descriptive survey and explanatory research design was used. The study was conducted on the Kenyan coast. Stratified random sampling techniques were used to select the hotels, Purposive sampling was used to select Strategic managers and random sampling technique was adopted to select both middle and lower-level managers. Data was collected through a questionnaire and interview schedule. 383 questionnaires were distributed and 29 managers were interviewed. Descriptive statistics and simple linear regression were used to analyze data. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically. 354 questionnaires were dully filled representing a 92.7% return rate while 29 general managers interviewed represented 80.6%. The simple regression model result showed that R-squire = 0.558. This means that 55.8% of performance is explained by conglomerate and collaboration diversification strategies. The result indicated that conglomerate diversification strategies (p-value < 0.0001) and collaboration diversification strategies (p-value = 0.031) are significant predictors of the performance of star-rated hotels on the Kenyan Coast. The null hypothesis was tested and rejected. According to the findings, the study recommends that hotels wishing to increase or retain their financial position and market share and also achieve economy of scale even during business turbulence should employ an unrelated diversification strategy. This will ensure hotels' high performance and sustainability during business distress such as the COVID-19 pandemic or decline in product lifecycle

Published: January 2025

The realm of musical aesthetics offers an endless source of exploration and interpretation. Within the Romantic era, Frédéric Chopin stands as a towering figure, renowned for his piano masterpieces. Yet, his genius extended beyond the piano, as he also crafted exquisite works for cello and piano. This article delves into the aesthetic landscape of Chopin's Cello Sonata, Op. 65, specifically focusing on the Largo movement. Employing a qualitative approach, the study examines the musical score, engages in historical and literary analysis, and observes live performances. This multifaceted approach reveals an expansion in Chopin's compositional techniques and unveils a rich aesthetic dimension that transcends the simplistic dichotomy of intramusical and extramusical elements. To fully grasp the profound impact of Chopin's Largo movement, the study incorporates a music literature approach. This approach illuminates the transformative power of chamber music, extending its influence beyond the realms of philosophical knowledge and performance aspects into a deeper, more transcendent dimension.

Authors: Lewankoru Meike Lely
Published: January 2025

Maluku is still ranked as the fourth poorest province in Indonesia. The issue of poverty in Maluku is also a focus of the Maluku Protestant Church (GPM). Through the transformative diaconia program, the church continues to strive to improve the quality of life of the congregation so that they can escape the problem of poverty. This article aims to theologically analyze the ethics of solidarity in the GPM transformative diaconia program. The author uses qualitative research methods with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews with GPM pastors and conducts a literature review to develop tools for analyzing the theology of solidarity ethics. The results of this research show that transformative diakonia is a GPM effort to empower the congregation to be free from the problem of poverty. The author believes that transformative diaconia, which is oriented toward human liberation from poverty is a manifestation of the theology-ethics of solidarity. The author's arguments are outlined in this research, starting from showing the reality of poverty in the Maluku community, interpreting transformative diakonia, the theological-ethical concept of solidarity, and exploring the GPM transformative diakonia service program as a form of ethical theology of solidarity.

Published: January 2025

Soekarno's grave in Blitar is busy with pilgrims from various religions daily. This place has become a space for interfaith meetings. The Blitar government also annually facilitates interfaith prayer activities, which are held four times a year as a symbol of fostering a spirit of tolerance. When pilgrims hold a prayer ritual, a third space is formed for social interaction between the first room and the second room. This article aims to answer the ontological question regarding understanding the encounter between interfaith pilgrims who form the third space at the Soekarno Tomb. This article uses a qualitative descriptive method through literature review, observations, and in-depth interviews in the Soekarno Grave Area, Blitar. The research results concluded that interfaith encounters during the pilgrimage at Soekarno's grave created a thirdspace construction according to Edward Soja's theory, which can be applied at the individual, institutional and community levels. Based on these findings, the main argument is that Soja's thirdspace construction is a framework for thinking to build social glue. The thirdspace construction allows humans to interact socially, which connects different characters and traits.

Authors: Takdare Jerry Paulus , Batlajery Agustinus M.L , Ruhulessin Johni Chr
Published: January 2025

This article proposes the communion, sharing, together, and gandong models as a new approach that the church can use for interacting in the public spaces of the national and religious in Indonesia. This model is an implication of three important concepts: participational, incarnational, and relational, as such, it becomes an alternative to the unity-equality model as proposed by John Titaley and the exemplary model as proposed in the thought of Eka Darmaputera. By discussing with Titaley and Darmaputera, the author demonstrates that participational, incarnational, and relational must be formulated and constructioned in the ecclesiological (theology) of the churches in Indonesia to show the essence and mission of the Trinity God in their ecclesial-social life. This research indicates that communion, sharing, together, and gandong models provide a wide space to show the church's identity as belonging to the Trinity God and, simultaneously, with the others to enrich life together as a nation of Indonesia.
Kontekstualisasi Mazmur Pujian dengan Lantunan Foruk dalam Ibadah Etnis Jemaat GPM Adodo Fordata
Authors: Hendriks Glenn Victor
Published: January 2025

Singing is an important element of congregational worship. Singing with the right meaning and appreciation has an impact on the development of the people. A song must be based on the local context of the congregation. Herein lies the importance of contextualizing congregational singing.  One form of song contextualization is by using ethnic songs in congregational worship. Ethnic songs describe the congregation's local characteristics and are the congregation's identity. Using a qualitative research method, this study aims to find the form of ethnic songs that can be sung in the worship of the GPM Adodo Fordata congregation. In addition, this research also uses the juxtaposition method to juxtapose two forms of singing, namely, psalms and foruk. This research data was obtained from participant observations when the author was the Chairman of the Congregation Assembly for 6 years and interviews with cultural experts in Tanimbar. This research proves that as a form of contextual singing, foruk can be sung as psalms in congregational worship. The application of foruk as psalms is able to help people to live and interpret worship.
Kontroversi Keputusan Seorang Pemimpin: Analisis Hermeneutik Kisah Barak Berdasarkan Hakim-Hakim 4:6-9
Authors: Pattinaja Aska Aprilano , Kiamani Andris , Matulatuwa Barsalin Martha 
Published: January 2025

Judges 4:6-9 records God's call to Barak to lead the attack against Sisera, with the possibility of receiving the honor of victory. Ironically, however, this honor was ultimately denied to Barak because of the controversy surrounding his decision. Most previous studies have focused on Deborah's role, neglecting the significance of Barak's story. This study explores the key factors that led to Barak's controversial decision to provide lessons for any leader entrusted with responsibility by God. Using a descriptive qualitative approach to understand and describe the phenomenon in depth through non-numerical analysis as well as hermeneutic study, this study found three main factors that contributed to Barak's failure: first, his doubts based on real conditions; second, his reliance on human assurance; and third, his lack of trust in God's power. Barak's failure serves as a valuable warning to today's leaders to recognize weaknesses without losing optimism and confidence in the potential that lies within their God-given responsibilities.
Keluarga sebagai Pilar Perdamaian: Analisis Pendidikan Karakter, Pendidikan Multikultural, dan Filosofi Tembang Macapat
Authors: Nugroho Yulius Setyo
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis research explores the values of peace that come from character education, multicultural education, and the philosophy of tembang macapat for developing peace through peace education in the family. This research uses a qualitative method by conducting literature analysis and philosophical analysis of tembang macapat on the YouTube channel. The results showed that first, peace education has four core concepts as a “big umbrella” to develop peace education in a small or local scope, namely: positive peace and negative peace, peace education as a transformative practice, non-violence, and a culture of peace; second, peace education values in the family are categorized into three groups, namely: primary group, secondary group, and tertiary group. Although categorized into three groups, it does not mean that the three have a hierarchical position, one is more important than the other because the categorization effort aims to show the connection of the values obtained from the three different sources; and third, the family is the pillar of peace, so building peace must start from the family. Therefore, peace education in the family must be prepared seriously, considering the microsystem, ecosystem, and macrosystem aspects. Thus, peace education in the family will be more holistic (relevant, contextual, and transformative).

Authors: Setyowati Temi
Published: January 2025

Emotional politics can be an effective strategy to build support or steer public opinion. It can also create polarization and cause social instability if manipulated irresponsibly. Emotional politics is one of the tools rulers use to achieve their goals in terms of weakening or intimidating other parties. The utilization of emotional politics was carried out by unscrupulous authorities, such as the Head of RT, in the case of persecution of Pamulang University students, South Tangerang, who were praying the Rosary in their boarding house. By collecting secondary data from various literature related to the case, This study uses a literature study approach by conducting a literature review to analyze the emotional politics of the authorities mobilizing citizens' emotions to intimidate minority groups. The results showed that religious harmony within the neighborhood association (RT) is still ‘homework’ for the pluralistic Indonesian nation. The practice of intolerance followed by verbal and physical violence is still an issue of human rights violations in the context of an Indonesian state based on Pancasila.

Although Sikh adherents are scattered across various locations, the study focuses on the activities of the Sikh community at the Guru Nanak Social Foundation, the most active Sikh community in utilizing online media, particularly through its YouTube channel, to maintain their identity and culture amidst Indonesia's religious diversity. The research employs a qualitative analysis method on the content produced by this community, including the *"Sikh Indonesia Podcast"* series. Data were collected by observing published video content and analyzing interviews and discussions with community members recorded in podcast formats.  The findings indicate that the Sikh community's use of online media serves to preserve tradition and a platform to introduce Sikh religion and culture to a broader audience. Digital content, such as podcasts, plays a crucial in educating the public about Sikh values, strengthening community identity, and facilitating social integration through involvement in social activities like *seva* (community service). This strategy has proven effective in bolstering the Sikh community's existence in Indonesia, expanding public understanding of the Sikh religion, and promoting tolerance within a diverse society.

East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) is one of the regions frequently affected by suicide issues. The motives or reasons behind suicides in NTT are an inability to cope with the bad realities of life or a failure to face various life challenges. Therefore, this study aims to offer methods to prevent suicide more specifically through the pastoral counseling perspective, especially preventing suicide among Catholic Youth (OMK) in NTT. Because, while growing, developing, finding their identity, and trying to do useful things for their life and future, like young men and women in general, OMK is struggling with themselves and with many things outside of themselves, so OMK needs the good and correct guidance to sustain and direct them to the good and positive things, as well as preventing and keeping them away from the bad and negative things like suicide. This research uses a qualitative research method with a literature review as a means of data collection. Based on the study, it is found that the pastoral counseling perspective can help to prevent suicides among OMK in NTT because pastoral counseling has functions such as healing, sustaining, guiding, reconciling, and nurturing. These functions provide methods, stages, as well as concrete and specific steps to prevent the potential issues related to suicide among OMK in NTT so that OMK in NTT can face the bad realities of life or cope with various life challenges.

The climate is one of the most important environmental factors that affect human comfort and health, as the human body responds to climatic elements involuntarily due to their effect on the heat exchange process between the human body and the thermal environment in which it lives. Several thermal comfort indicators were applied to determine the limits of thermal comfort in the study area (Ghom indicator and wind cooling indicator k), which depended on the most stable climate elements in the study area (temperature, relative humidity, and wind). As a result, the climatic seasons of the year were determined based on the cold winter months (December, January, and February). The spring season is represented by the months of (March and April), which are moderate, while the summer season represents The hot months (May, June, July, August, and September). The months (October and November) represent the fall season.

The study concluded after comparing the results of the monthly distribution of climate indicators with the classification limits of human thermal comfort that the state of thermal extremism did not appear, represented by the great stress that threatens health during the months of the year, while the state of severe thermal discomfort appeared clearly, especially during the day of the summer months (severe hot discomfort) and the nights of the winter months (severe cold discomfort), so these two seasons are the least suitable for practicing most types of activities in open places, while the most suitable times for practicing various activities were represented by the spring and fall seasons, as the degree of influence of climate elements on the human feeling of comfort varied during the months of the year as in Tables (3, 5), and the study recommends the necessity of linking various human activities and events to human thermal comfort and linking vacations to the months of thermal discomfort.
