This research is an analysis of the DSN-MUI fatwa number 101 of 2016 concerning the al-ijarah al-mausufah fi al-żimmah (IMFŻ) contract. The IMFŻ contract, can be said to be a combined contract of two contracts, namely the ijarah contract (lease) and the salam contract (order). However, the legal basis for the IMFZ contract still raises the question, "should it be based on the ijarah contract or the salam contract?" In my opinion, this is interesting and important to research. The method in this research uses the library research method, namely by examining the regulations of the Islamic legal agreement and the positive agreement law of Indonesia. The results of this study conclude that when viewed from Islamic law, in general it is in accordance with the provisions of the sharia contract theory, even though it is included in a joint contract (murakab). Even so, the DSN-MUI still needs to consider one of the editors in the fatwa, so that the contract does not happen. Viewed from the perspective of Indonesia's positive law (KUHPerdata), the IMFZ contract is an anonymous type of contract (agreement) that arises from the principle of freedom of contract. The IMFZ agreement is also in accordance with the legal terms of the agreement as stipulated in Article 1320 of the Civil Code. The legal consequences of the IMF agreement are rights and obligations for those who have implemented the agreement.

Authors: Torres Pagan Leonell , Hinojosa Jennifer , Abreu-Rosario Luis , Caban-Alemán Carissa
Published: July 2021

El huracán María y su impacto sobre la isla de Puerto Rico han provocado una necesidad sin precedentes de abordar la salud mental. Sin embargo, pocas investigaciones han podido examinar los esfuerzos de respuesta de salud mental en todo el país. Nuestro objetivo fue documentar el proceso y resultados de un estudio piloto sobre la respuesta de salud mental en la isla. Los participantes eran miembros activos de instituciones que desempeñaron funciones administrativas, ejecutivas y de liderazgo en el campo de la medicina o salud mental. La encuesta piloto evaluó el nivel de los servicios de salud mental provistos después de la tormenta. Se llevaron a cabo estadísticas descriptivas (frecuencias y porcentajes), como también un análisis geoespacial descriptivo con el uso de los códigos postales. Se recopilaron los desafíos para la implementación de medidas en respuesta posterior a la tormenta, incluida la administración y la recopilación de datos. En general, la cantidad de servicios ofrecidos para la depresión y la ansiedad fue comparativamente mayor durante el primer período posterior a María; y siguió siendo un patrón prevalente para los períodos subsiguientes. El estudio también resalto las preocupaciones de los participantes por la ayuda humanitaria y la atención médica inconsistente. Este estudio encontró que los servicios de salud mental brindados posteriormente al huracán María no fueron distribuidos equitativa y proporcionalmente en toda la isla. Las organizaciones sin fines de lucro pudieron colaborar y ayudar en la prestación de dichos servicios en caso de la ausencia de una respuesta por parte del gobierno. En el futuro, los estudios deben considerar una muestra más robusta que utilizaría herramientas contemporáneas para recopilar los datos necesarios para evaluar las tendencias temporales.

Published: July 2021

Over recent years, scholars highlighted that cultural consumption motivations are highly heterogeneous among individuals and that they might shape the intensity of cultural consumption. This article contributes to this literature by inspecting whether motivations are linked to individual
benefits arising from cultural consumption. The analysis relies on microdata collected through an original survey of spectators who attended an arts documentary festival annually held in Naples (Italy). The results show that the motivation matters in explaining the benefits perceived by festival
participants. More in detail, the motivations related to the love of arts are crucial in explaining the willingness to pay for festival financing. The article is based on original primary data collected during the event. The findings prove to be interesting for institutions and cultural events
professionals, insofar as they offer useful insights into the demand for local and highly targeted festivals.

Insights on Trends of Academic Research into Family Business
Authors: Petrů Naděžda , Naďová Krošláková Monika
Published: July 2021

The question of family business ranks among the most intensively followed areas of research. At the same time, it is a question with a palpable impact on the economic and social environment; in other words, it is a question with a high degree of social relevance. It is a topic both appropriate and necessary, yet very challenging in terms of its interdisciplinarity and scope. The goal of this article is to summarize the research question of family business via a systematic review of literature primarily in terms of topical areas, scientific methods, and study sample size. To evaluate which methods are suitable for examining the issues of family business. The authors drew methodological inspiration from the bibliography of De Massis et al. (2012), in which the authors gathered and organized information related to the topics of empirical articles, including a short description of the sample, a description of the data collections methods used, and a list of secondary data sources used. They reached the conclusion that the use of qualitative research seems logical for research in the areas of identity, culture, values, and relationships, which is the primary socioemotional wealth of family businesses.
Are Real Estate Prices Evolving into an Asset Price Bubble?
Authors: Kloppenburg Wolfgang
Published: July 2021

The development of real estate prices is of extraordinary importance for the fi nancial and economic system, as undesirable developments could endanger fi nancial stability – as seen in the fi nancial crisis of 2008 and 2009. This applies not only to speculators, but also to private households, which have to borrow to pay the purchase price. The market has been “fueled” in particular by the monetary policy of the central banks – expansion of the money supply and low interest rates. Investors are looking for investment opportunities due to the money glut, and the real estate market still promises a return. Furthermore, many people looking to build are willing to go into debt to buy a property. This demand ultimately has a driving eff ect on real estate prices. The aim of this paper is to compare and analyze the development of real estate prices in the most important OECD countries with those of Germany. A model of real estate prices is presented, which takes into account the most important indicators and provides information on when a price bubble exists. The model shows that asset price bubbles can be identified in some OECD countries. In Germany, on the other hand, there are only signs of a price bubble in a few major cities. Since private debt is low, it does not seem to be a problem across the board in Germany. A general problem remains with regard to the timely detectability of price bubbles.

Background: The anatomy, origin, function, and appearance of the Palmaris Longus Muscle (PLM) in different populations are well studied. However, little is known about its contribution to wrist flexion movements in sports. This study investigates whether the existence or absence of the PLM affects maximal torque output or torque consistency of submaximal wrist flexion moment. Methods: One hundred ninety-seven well-trained sports students were clinically examined to ascertain the presence of the PLM. Forty of them from different sport disciplines were assigned to two groups (athletes in handgrip sports: HG, athletes in non-handgrip sports: NHG). Their 80 upper limbs were divided based on the PLM-presence/absence and hand-dominance/non-dominance. Maximal Isometric Torque (MIT) at 150º, 180º, and 210º wrist angle, and torque steadiness at 150º and 180º, at 25%, 50%, and 75% of MIT were measured on a Humac Norm dynamometer. Results: In all MIT tests, HGs significantly surpassed NHGs, independently of the dominant or non-dominant side in presence of the PLM (p
PSYCHOLOGICAL RESPONSES, COPING STRATEGIES, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DURING THE COVID – 19 PANDEMIC: BULGARIAN PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Mladenova Zornitza
Published: July 2021

Nowadays our global society faces big challenges and threats in the times of the first major pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 has forced governments to impose the lock-down policies around the world. Social isolation became a new normal form of living. After the first confirmed case on the 8th of March in Bulgaria, the government announced on the 14th of March the lock-down as a preventive strategy for the whole Bulgarian population. Under such circumstances, the big issue became the question of how to maintain the physical and mental health of people, and how to cope with the new reality. Based on this evidence the aim of the joint research study with Ohio State University, USA, entitled “Psychological Responses, Coping Strategies, and Physical Activity during the COVID – 19 Pandemic” has been proposed from the Bulgarian perspective as follows: 1. Investigate psychological responses, coping strategies, and physical activity during the COVID – 19 lock-down periods. 2. Examine the influence of physical activity as a coping strategy in psychological health and overall well-being during social isolation. To this end, an online questionnaire containing an adapted version of the short-form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF) has been used to assess the practiced level of physical activity and Metabolic Equivalents (MET) energy expenditure, PROMIS Item Bank v1.0 Emotional distress-Anxiety, Herth Hope Index (HHI) (Herth, 1992), and Brief Resilient Coping Scale BRCS (Sinclaire, Wallston, 2004) to evaluate psychological well-being during the social isolation. Evidence suggests that regular participation in physical activity helps decrease overall levels of anxiety and depression as a reliable coping strategy to overcome the social isolation and, as a whole, the negative aspects of lockdown.

The ammonite succession in the Middle Jurassic of East Greenland
Authors: Callomon John H.
Published: July 2021

The ammonite sequence in the Middle Jurassic of central East Greenland is the most complete and detailed known in the Arctic so far, and has become a standard of reference for the whole of the Bo real Faunal Province. It is made up of some 37 distinguishable assemblages that characterize a time-ordered succession of discrete faunal horizons. This succession has been pieced together from over 80 recorded sections in Jameson Land lying between Scoresby Sund and Kong Oscars Fjord (70-72°N). It forms the biostratigraphic basis for the regional chronostratigraphy.
The faunal assemblages are listed and described by reference to published illustrations in the literature. Faunas 1-23 are of pre-Callovian age and have no elements in common with their contemporaries in the classical regions of Europe. They still cannot be correlated with the European standard pre-Callovian chronozonations. Most of them must be of Bathonian age, although the earliest of them could well be, and probably are, even still Upper Bajocian. The Bathonian-Callovian boundary most probably lies some­where in faunas 24-26, which closely resemble those of the keppleri horizon at the base of the Callovian. Faunas 27-35 span the rest of th􀁋 Lower Callovian, while faunas 36 and 37 are the only evidence of Middle and Upper Callovian. The ammonites from Jameson Land previously described by Spath (I 932) are revised and assigned to their correct horizons. Of 11 new species, only one is formally named: Kepp/erites vardekloeftensis sp. nov., of latest Bathonian age.
First measurements of the methane concentration in the North
Sea with a new in-situ device

Published: July 2021

A device is briefly described for the continuous in-situ measurement of methane gas dissolved in
sea water. The device extracts dissolved gas from a continuous flow of water and quantitatively
determines the methane partial pressure in the gas phase by laser absorption spectrometry. A
lower detection limit of 30 ppt (parts per trillion, 30 pg of methane per g of water) is achieved,
and the dynamic range exceeds six orders of magnitude. Thus, the natural background concentration of the open ocean (35 ppt) can be measured. First measurements with the device have been
taken in the North Sea. Depth profiles at Statpipe, in the Bømla Fjord and at the location of a
seepage in the Gullfaks area are shown. Horizontal profiles across a natural seepage show the
distribution of the methane around the source. Measurements at a gas injection wellhead may
give a hint of a microleakage of the structure.
Pockmark formation and activity, U.K. block 15/25, North Sea
Authors: Judd Alan , Long David , Sankey Michael
Published: July 2021

Digital seismic reflection (boomer) profiles of an active pockmark, in UK block 15/25, North Sea, reveal that the feature was formed prior to the deposition of the most recent sediments, probably by vigorous (or even catastrophic) gas escape. This release may have been triggered by the melting of ground ice when North Atlantic waters first entered the North Sea after the last glaciation, about 13,000 years ago. Possible sources of the gas are investigated by examining the composite log from a nearby petroleum exploration well; it is concluded that, although the gas may .originate from the Kimmeridge Clay, it probably comes from lignites of Tertiary age. Its migration towards the seabed is interrupted by local accumulations at several horizons, the shallowest of which (<80 m below seabed) is trapped beneath clayey sediments of the Coal Pit Formation. The topography of the base of this layer apparently controls the location of gas migration pathways to the seabed. As these lead to pockmarks which formed long ago, and as these pockmarks are still active today, it is probable that the migration pathways have remained throughout the intervening period. Gas accumulating beneath the Coal Pit Formation may migrate laterally to reach the pathways.

A zone of suginarine gas seepages was discovered on the seafloor of the Kamchatsky Gulf (East Kamchatkar, Gas plumes have been detected in the upper part of the Kamchatsky canyon within a depth range of 40-250 m. Sandstones with carbonate cementation were recovered from the seafloor near the seep locations. Cement occurs as calcite and Mg-calcite. the isotopic composi­tion of carbon from carbonates (613C = -62%0 PDB provides grounds for believing that they originate as a result of methane oxidation.
Mud volcano gas hydrates in the Caspian Sea
Authors: Ginsburg G. D. , Soloviev V. A. x
Published: July 2021

Two gas hydrate accumulations associated with mud volcano craters were investigated by means of sparker survey, bottom water and sediment sampling using gravity corer and subsequent chemical and isotopic studies of gas, bottom and porewater and carbonate inclusions. Hydrate contents in sediments were up to 35% per volume. Sometimes hydrates were encountered immediately on the seabed. Correlations have been established between hydrate contents, water contents (after dissociation of hydrates), chlorinity and the oxygen and hydrogen isotope composition of the pore water. The hydrate water is enriched with respect to deuterium. Liquid water in sediments contains higher 180 as result of isotopic exchange with carbonates. Hydrates are thought to have formed from the mud volcano brines (from their water and from dissolved light hydrocarbons which are thermogenic in origin). Each accumulation has its own deep source. The developed approach presents a thorough study of the hydrate and water contents in sediments along with the water composition.
Tertiary development of the Faeroe-Rockall Plateau based on reflection seismic data
Authors: Baldreel L O. , Andersen M.S.
Published: July 2021

The Faeroe-Rockall Plateau is located in the NE Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and Scotland and is characterized by a late Paleocene-early Eocene basalt cover, which was extruded in association with the incipient opening of the NE Atlantic. The Faeroe-Rockall Plateau is separated from the NW European continental shelf by the Rockall Trough and the Faeroe­Shetland Channel, whose nature and age is still debated. Reflector configuration within the basalt allows volcanic seismic facies inteipretation to be carried out. The thickness of the basalt cover is estimated from reflection seismic data. Subbasalt geological structures are identified below subaerially extruded basalt on recently acquired as well as reprocessed seismic profiles. Overlying the basalt are early Eocene and younger Sediments. The distribution of these sedi- . ments is largely controlled by 1) the topography after the cessation of the volcanism, 2) the post volcanic subsidence of the area which is estimated from the depth to the breakpoints located on prim¥)' volcanic escaipments, 3) the Eocene-Miocene compressional tectonics which formed ridge& and minor basins, and 4) bottom currents of Norwegian Sea Deep Water (NSDW) which in the Neogene flowed into the North Atlantic south of the Greenland-Iceland-Faeroe-Scotland Ridg,e.

Late Pleistocene stratigraphy, glaciation chronology and Middle Weichselian environmental history from Klintholm, Møn, Denmark
Authors: Nielsen Michael Houmark
Published: July 2021

A new and fundamental outline of the Late Pleistocene geological history in SE Denmark is obtained from examination of exposed cliff sections along the Baltic coast of M0n. Multi­diciplinary studies including lithostratigraphic classification, analyses of glaciotectonic struc- tures, biostratigraphic studies, amino acid chronology and radiocarbon and luminescence dating indicate the following:
A shallow boreo-lusitanian sea that characterized the Eemian interglaciation (130-115 ka BP) was followed by periglacial conditions during the Early Weichselian (l 15-75 ka BP). In the early part of the Middle Weichselian (75--c. 40 ka BP) Baltic glaciers invaded the region twice, intenupted by an ice free and periglacial interval around 50 ka BP. The first ice stream left a reddish coloured till dominated by exotic rock-types of eastern Baltic provenance. From about 40-35 ka BP to slightly before 20 ka BP ameliorated conditions with periglacial terrestrial and lacustrine environments are recorded. A lake basin in the western part of the Baltic was surrounded by a low releif mammoth-steppe with an almost treeless vegetation of grasses, sedges, heather and dwarf shrubs. Increasing amounts of diamicton dominated by Palaeozoic shale and limestone towards the top of the muddy and slightly organic lake sediments suggest ice-rafting in the basin by the end of the late Middle Weichselian. Deposits suffered strong glaciotectonic deformation during the Late Weichselian glacial maximum (25-15 ka BP).
History of the terrestrial environment in the Quaternary of Denmark
Authors: Andersen Svend Th.
Published: July 2021

Changes in the environment backward in time can be reconstructed by measurement of geophysical, geochemical or palaeolontological paramenters in sediment columns. Changes in the elemental spheres of the environment are forced by changes in insolation and by mutual interactions. The glacial-interglacial cycles are provoked by minima and maxima in insolation and reflect changes in biosphere and geosphere. The last summer insolation maximum in the Northern Hemisphere coincides with the beginning of the Holocene. Decreasing insolation affected the altitudes of the glacial equilibrium line and the tree line in Norway, and air humidity in Denmark. The reestablishment of deciduous woodland coincided with the temperature maximum. The introduction of agriculture caused increasing deforestation, especially in densely populated areas, where the agricultural exploitation expanded with increasing precipitation. The environment was increasingly affected by man up towards present time. The natural climate development may be changed by air pollution. Air pollution due to industrialisation is registered by increased deposition of airborne particles on bogs and in lakes, and pollution of aquatic environments by increased adduction of nutritional elements to freshwater lakes.
Prediction of Co and Ru nanocluster morphology on 2D MoS2 from interaction energies
Authors: Nies Cara-Lena , Nolan Michael
Published: July 2021

Layered materials, such as MoS2, have a wide range of potential applications due to the properties of a single layer, which often differ from the bulk material. They are of particular interest as ultrathin diffusion barriers in semiconductor device interconnects and as supports for low-dimensional metal catalysts. Understanding the interaction between metals and the MoS2 monolayer is of great importance when selecting systems for specific applications. In previous studies the focus has been largely on the strength of the interaction between a single atom or a nanoparticle of a range of metals, which has created a significant knowledge gap in understanding thin film nucleation on 2D materials. In this paper, we present a density functional theory (DFT) study of the adsorption of small Co and Ru structures, with up to four atoms, on a monolayer of MoS2. We explore how the metal–substrate and metal–metal interactions contribute to the stability of metal clusters on MoS2, and how these interactions change in the presence of a sulfur vacancy, to develop insight to allow for a prediction of thin film morphology. The strength of interaction between the metals and MoS2 is in the order Co > Ru. The competition between metal–substrate and metal–metal interaction allows us to conclude that 2D structures should be preferred for Co on MoS2, while Ru prefers 3D structures on MoS2. However, the presence of a sulfur vacancy decreases the metal–metal interaction, indicating that with controlled surface modification 2D Ru structures could be achieved. Based on this understanding, we propose Co on MoS2 as a suitable candidate for advanced interconnects, while Ru on MoS2 is more suited to catalysis applications.
