Rekonstruksi Subjek dan Peristiwa Hukum Akad Pembiayaan Murabahah pada Perbankan Syariah
Authors: Dayyan Muhammad
Published: July 2021

This article argues that the murabahah contract implemented by Islamic banking with reference to the DSN-MUI fatwa and the Murabahah SOP formulated by the OJK is still ambiguous in terms of the pillars of both legal actions (legal events) and subjects (actors) of a series of legal events. Whereas financing with murabahah is very dominantly practiced by banks in channeling their funds to the public. This has spawned a number of studies that see many sides of weakness and even conflict with sharia principles. By using the ushul fiqh approach and using primary and secondary legal materials, the authors conduct a content analysis offering reconstruction of murabahah financing contracts in Islamic banking. The results of this study found that the murabahah financing contract was eleven legal events and four subjects were perpetrators of legal acts. These eleven legal events must be included as a new pillar of the murabahah financing agreement as an instrument for realizing maslahah and economic distributive justice. Artikel ini beragumen bahwa akad murabahah yang diterapkan oleh perbankan syariah dengan mengacu pada fatwa DSN-MUI dan SOP Murabahah yang dirumuskan oleh OJK masih ambingu dari segi rukun baik perbuatan hukum (peristiwa hukum) maupun subjek (pelaku) dari serangkaian peristiwa hukum. Padahal pembiayaan dengan murabahah sangat dominan dipraktekkan oleh perbankan dalam menyalurkan dananya kepada masyarakat. Hal ini telah melahirkan sejumlah penelitian yang melihat banyak sisi kelemahan bahkan bertentangan dengan prinsip syariah. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan ushul fiqh dan menggunakan bahan hukum primer dan sekunder, penulis melakukan content analysis menawarkan rekonstruksi akad pembiayaan murabahahpada perbankan syariah. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan akad pembiayaan murabahah sebelas peristiwa hukum dan empat subjek pelaku perbuatan hukum. Kesebelas peristiwa hukum ini harus dimasukkan sebagai rukun baru dari akad pembiayaan murabahah sebagai instrument untuk  merelaisasikan maslahah dan keadilan distributif ekonomi.
Konsep Nusyuz Menurut Al-Qur`An Dan Hadis (Kajian Hak dan Kewajiban Suami-Istri Dalam Rumah Tangga)
Authors: Khairuddin Khairuddin , Salam Abdul Jalil
Published: July 2021

Istilah nusyuz di dalam al-Qur`an dan hadis tidak terbatas pada istri, tetapi juga terhadap suami. Di dalam kitab-kitab fikih, istilah nusyuz lebih condong pembahasannya terhadap istri, tetapi di dalam kitab al-Um karangan Imam asy-Syafi’i dan kitab al-Majmu’ Syarah al-Muhazzab karangan Imam an-Nawawy, istilah nusyuz itu juga ditujukan kepada suami. Namun dalam pembahasan kitab fikih, nusyuz yang dilakukan oleh suami tidak berakibat kepada gugurnya hak suami dari istri, kebalikan dengan nusyuz yang dilakukan oleh istri, yang berakibat istri tidak berhak lagi mendapat nafakah dan hak-hak lainnya dari suami. Ini artinya, fikih telah menempatkan posisi suami pada tempat yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan istri.
Simulación de una antena microcinta rectangular espiral multibanda para la aplicación de captación de energía de radiofrecuencia
Authors: Zapata-Ochoa Edison Andrés , López-Giraldo Francisco , Goéz Germán David
Published: July 2021

El presente estudio realizó un análisis de la influencia que ejercen las variaciones del grosor del sustrato dieléctrico y de la posición de las ranuras de microcinta creadas en el parche radiante de una antena de microcinta. El trabajo presentó la simulación mediante el software de optimización automática CST Studio, de una antena para captura de energía de radiofrecuencia empleando el substrato ARLON AD450 con constante dieléctrica de 4.5, pérdidas tangenciales de 0.035 y espesor de 3 mm. En este diseño se aplicaron varias ranuras hasta formar una espira cuadrada. Los resultados obtenidos evidenciaron que al aumentar el espesor del sustrato que separa el plano de tierra del parche radiante, se produce una disminución en las pérdidas de retorno del parámetro y al mismo tiempo se da un aumento en la ganancia de la antena. La creación de ranuras, el grosor y la ubicación de estas en el parche radiante producen un desplazamiento en la frecuencia de resonancia. Asimismo, el arreglo presentado permite frecuencias de resonancia alrededor de 1.6 GHz, 2.38 GHz, 3.38 GHz y 4.16 GHz, con una ganancia entre 2.48 dB y 7.66 dB. Este diseño de antena permitió mejoras en ganancia y en el patrón de radiación. La creación de ranuras en el parche radiante modificó la distribución de corriente de superficie de la antena y generó nuevas frecuencias de resonancia. Los espacios de aire creados entre el cobre y el substrato mejoraron el rendimiento de la antena, del mismo modo que el espacio ejercido por el substrato entre el plano de tierra y el parche radiante disminuyeron las pérdidas de ganancia en la antena debido a la reducción del cobre cuando se realizan estas ranuras. La antena propuesta presenta un comportamiento multibanda inmediatamente se agregan ranuras en el parche. La evaluación de substratos y estructuras son útiles para el desarrollo de antenas de microcinta integradas para sistemas de recolección de energía de radiofrecuencia.
Quantifying differences in alternative food network supply chain activities and their relationship with socio-economic outcomes
Authors: Hunter Erik , Norrman Andreas , Berg Eva
Published: July 2021

Alternative food networks (AFNs) have the potential to enhance and redistribute value in favour of producers and consumers through novel ways of organizing supply chain activities. What is more, AFNs are often characterized by their ‘sustainability promise’ – or the idea that their networks foster social, ecological or environmental improvements over conventional food networks. Based on a purposive sample of 286 producers across five Swedish AFNs (i.e. community supported agriculture, REKO-rings, farmers’ markets, farm stores and food nodes), we explore how differences in how supply chain activities are managed and relate them to profitability, fair wages, cooperation, logistics efforts, happiness and future beliefs. Using a combination of correlation analysis, linear regression and means comparisons, we challenge the notion that AFNs achieve their sustainability promise or enhance value through novel combinations of supply chain activities. Our findings include several key differences in how supply chain management (SCM) activities are organized across AFNs and their variant importance for profitability. Moreover, we find significant differences in happiness across AFNs that are better explained through beliefs about the future than profitability or fair wages. By exploring happiness and profitability, we offer insights into why some AFN actors thrive despite poor economic returns.

Purpose. The study is aimed at determining concentrations of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and at revealing their pattern distribution in the bottom sediments of the "river – sea" contact zone on the example of the Sevastopol Bay and the river Chernaya. Methods and Results. Granulometric composition of the bottom sediments was determined by the decantation and dispersion method. Identification and quantitative determination of PAHs were carried out by the high performance liquid chromatography method. The total PAHs content in the bottom sediments of the area under study varied from 12 to 670 ng/g of dry weight. The pollutant content was minimum in the river site beyond the geochemical barrier. In the area where the river Chernaya flows into the Sevastopol Bay, the PAHs content was 121 ng/g. The highest PAHs content was revealed in the Sevastopol Bay bottom sediments, more precisely, in 1.5 km southwest of the river Chernaya flowing into the bay. 14 PAHs were identified in the estuary zone of the river, 4 of them (naphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, fluorene, anthracene) were in the trace amounts. The maximum concentration (99%) of silty material was observed in the Sevastopol Bay water area. The silt fractions were distributed as follows: 20% – aleuritic-pelite fraction, 79% – pelitic-aleurite fraction. Directly in the area of the river inflow into the bay, accumulation of the sand fraction (7%) and the maximum portion of pelitic silts were noted. Conclusions. The recorded values of PAHs corresponded to the natural non-toxic levels. PAHs identified in the bottom sediments of the river estuary zone are of the mixed, predominantly petrogenic origin. The obtained data show that in the conditions of the "river – sea" contact zone, the PAHs accumulation in general and their individual fractions were governed mainly by presence of silt in the bottom sediments.
Corporate Ethical Training: An Answer to White-Collar Crimes
Authors: Pitre Richard , Claiborne Claudius
Published: July 2021

The modern business corporation is a culturally significant component of American Society. It is facing a cultural invasion of the highest order. The categorical imperative, an unconditional principle that rational individuals must follow despite natural desires or inclinations to do otherwise, is today being called into question. This is most likely the result of grounding moral values upon information that is transient and unstable rather than upon established data. The social contract, which governs the formation and maintenance of individual morals, is a requirement in organizations that demands collective agency – employees acting together to set forth moral rules of behavior and eschew pernicious leanings and tendencies. From that perspective, ethical training becomes a key leveraging point in the disconnect between cultural expectations and individual behaviors in corporate America.
The Availability of Reporting Channels, Tone at the Top, and Whistleblowing Intentions
Authors: Hayes Matthew J , Lowe D. Jordan , Pany Kurt , Zhang Jian
Published: July 2021

SOX requires the establishment of anonymous whistleblowing channels for public companies, but private companies are free to implement the channel(s) of their choosing. Although anonymous channels have long been considered a “best practice,” the evidence on their efficacy is mixed, creating confusion as to how private companies should proceed. Additionally, most studies comparing non-anonymous and anonymous channels have used a within-participants design, where both channels are available, limiting their ability to determine the incremental effectiveness of different whistleblowing systems. We find that offering either an anonymous channel or dual channels improves reporting intentions, relative to a non-anonymous channel, but primarily when tone at the top is weak. When tone at the top is strong, reporting intentions are not statistically different across the three systems. We also find no evidence that dual channels improve whistleblowing intentions relative to an anonymous channel, regardless of the tone at the top.
Local Crime Environment and Corporate Financial Misconduct Using Benford's Law
Authors: Golden Joanna
Published: July 2021

This study analyzes the impact of the local crime environment on the likelihood of a firm engaging in financial misconduct. Using the Benford Score metric, which assesses the extent to which a firm's financial statement number distribution diverges from a theoretical distribution, I find that firms headquartered in high crime areas are associated with greater financial misconduct. The link is more pronounced in firms that offer more stock-based executive compensation to their executives or practice weak corporate governance and change in the crime rate is associated with change in the firm's financial misconduct. My results support the social norm, social learning, and environmental criminology theories, as well as the fraud triangle, and are robust to a number of alternative specifications and approaches. The evidence implies that a firm's environment influences the level of corporate financial misconduct.
Income Smoothing through R&D Management and Earnings Informativeness
Authors: Baik Bok , Gunny Katherine A. , Jung Boochun , Park Duri
Published: July 2021

We examine whether income smoothing via R&D management is associated with more informative earnings. While the literature finds earnings smoothing through accruals improves earnings informativeness, it is unclear whether smoothing through R&D management is used to inform investors because R&D management is relatively more difficult to detect and curb. We find that R&D management, which represents a subset of real activities management, is associated with more informative earnings, but the association is weaker relative to smoothing through accruals. We also document that R&D-based smoothing is associated with more accurate and less disperse analyst forecasts of earnings, but the association is weaker relative to smoothing through accruals. Overall, we provide novel evidence suggesting that managers use R&D management to smooth temporary shocks to earnings and inform investors.

Financial Statement Complexity and Bank Lending
Authors: Chakraborty Indraneel , Leone Andrew J. , Minutti-Meza Miguel , Phillips Matthew A.
Published: July 2021

Recent evidence suggests that investors struggle to process complex financial disclosures. Relative to equity and public debt investors, banks have unique advantages in acquiring information and can impose contractual terms to mitigate information frictions. We investigate whether financial statement complexity is associated with firms' reliance on bank financing and the terms of bank loans. We focus on two aspects of complexity: the length of financial reports and the complexity of financial reporting rules. We document that both aspects of complexity are positively associated with firms' reliance on bank financing (i.e., level of debt and new financing). This result is consistent with banks' superior information processing capabilities. Next, we document that banks ameliorate information frictions using loan contractual terms that depend on the source of complexity. Overall, banks are an attractive source of financing for firms with complex disclosures, but banks also increase screening and monitoring for relatively complex borrowers.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use is associated with improved A1C outcomes and quality of life in adolescents and young adults with diabetes; however, CGM uptake is low. This article reports on a quality improvement (QI) initiative of the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative to increase CGM use among patients in this age-group. Ten centers participated in developing a key driver diagram and center-specific interventions that resulted in an increase in CGM use from 34 to 55% in adolescents and young adults over 19–22 months. Sites that performed QI tests of change and documented their interventions had the highest increases in CGM uptake, demonstrating that QI methodology and sharing of learnings can increase CGM uptake.

Health care inequities among racial and ethnic groups remain prevalent. For people with type 1 diabetes who require increased medical access and care, disparities are seen in access to care and health outcomes. This article reports on a study by the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative evaluating differences in A1C, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), severe hypoglycemia, and technology use among racial and ethnic groups. In a diverse cohort of nearly 20,000 children and adults with type 1 diabetes, A1C was found to differ significantly among racial and ethnic groups. Non-Hispanic Blacks had higher rates of DKA and severe hypoglycemia and the lowest rate of technology use. These results underscore the crucial need to study and overcome the barriers that lead to inequities in the care and outcomes of people with type 1 diabetes.
Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Metabolic Function and Insulin Sensitivity in People With Obesity

Published: July 2021

We used stable isotope–labeled glucose and palmitate tracer infusions, a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, positron emission tomography of muscles and adipose tissue after [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose and [15O]water injections, and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) biopsy to test the hypotheses that 1) increased glucose uptake in SAT is responsible for high insulin-stimulated whole-body glucose uptake in people with obesity who are insulin sensitive and 2) putative SAT factors thought to cause insulin resistance are present in people with obesity who are insulin resistant but not in those who are insulin sensitive. We found that high insulin-stimulated whole-body glucose uptake in insulin-sensitive participants with obesity was not due to channeling of glucose into SAT but, rather, was due to high insulin-stimulated muscle glucose uptake. Furthermore, insulin-stimulated muscle glucose uptake was not different between insulin-sensitive obese and lean participants even though adipocytes were larger, SAT perfusion and oxygenation were lower, and markers of SAT inflammation, fatty acid appearance in plasma in relation to fat-free mass, and plasma fatty acid concentration were higher in the insulin-sensitive obese than in lean participants. In addition, we observed only marginal or no differences in adipocyte size, SAT perfusion and oxygenation, and markers of SAT inflammation between insulin-resistant and insulin-sensitive obese participants. Plasma fatty acid concentration was also not different between insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant obese participants, even though SAT was resistant to the inhibitory effect of insulin on lipolysis in the insulin-resistant obese group. These data suggest that several putative SAT factors commonly implicated in causing insulin resistance are normal consequences of SAT expansion unrelated to insulin resistance.

Published: July 2021

As the COVID-19 outbreak spread worldwide, multidisciplinary researches on COVID-19 are vastly developed, not merely focusing on the medical sciences like epidemiology and virology. One of the studies that have developed is to understand the spread of the disease. This study aims to assess the contribution of crowdsourcing-based data from social media in understanding locations and the distribution patterns of COVID-19 in Indonesia. In this study, Twitter was used as the main source to retrieve location-based active cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia. We used Netlytic (www.netlytic.org) and Phyton’s script namely GetOldTweets3 to retrieve the relevant online content about COVID-19 cases including audiences’ information such as username, time of publication, and locations from January 2020 to August 2020 when COVID-19 active cases significantly increased in Indonesia. Subsequently, the accuracy of resulted data and visualization maps was assessed by comparing the results with the official data from the Ministry of Health of Indonesia. The results show that the number of active cases and locations are only promising during the early period of the disease spread on March – April 2020, while in the subsequent periods from April to August 2020, the error was continuously exaggerated. Although the accuracy of crowdsourcing data remains a challenge, we argue that crowdsourcing platforms can be a potential data source for an early assessment of the disease spread especially for countries lacking the capital and technical knowledge to build a systematic data structure to monitor the disease spread.
EMPLOYMENT OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES IN THE MODERN SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT: PROBLEMS AND PREREQUISITES FOR IMPROVEMENT
Authors: Arbuz A.V.
Published: July 2021

The article examines the problems in the field of employment of persons with disabilities in modern socio-economic and legislative conditions in the Omsk region from the point of view of representatives of this category of people, as well as experts. The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that state regulation and support of persons with disabilities by various measures, such as quotas of jobs, does not completely solve the socially significant problem of employment of disabled people, since such places are few and their creation requires a lot of costs on the part of the employer. According to preliminary estimates, 26.1% of disabled people are employed in the Omsk region, while the national average was 30.4 %. At the same time, there were revealed two negative trends in the labor market of the Omsk region: a noticeable increase in the number of unemployed people with disabilities and a dynamic decrease in the activity of employers in the employment of disabled people. It is necessary to take into account the current trends in the transformation of social and labor relations under the influence of the fourth industrial revolution. On the basis of the survey, the author revealed low awareness of disabled people about the labor market of the region. The majority of workers with disabilities are not employed in the specialty obtained in the course of training, what is one of the key aspects of this problem. All interviewed students with disabilities are motivated for further employment. The expert assessment of the situation revealed that the main problems are related to the lack of interest of employers in the admission of persons with disabilities, the low level of professional career guidance and professional self-determination of workers with disabilities, the low level of professional training and retraining of such workers. The author draws conclusions about the need to change the conditions of job quotas taking into account the new economic conditions (digitalization of the economy), the adoption of additional measures to support employers, which, in turn, will contribute to the development of social policy in the region.

The compact installation and technology for determining vibration characteristics by the ESPI method has been created. The experimental determination of the dynamic characteristics of a diamond circular blade with a diameter of 203.4 mm and a thickness of 1.19 mm using real-time electronic speckle interferometry is presented. 15 mode shapes of vibration were detected in the range from 100 to 5000 Hz. The program calculation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes is carried out for three values of the clamping inner diameter (42 mm, 44 mm, 46 mm). The options for calculating a disk with a rim and without a rim are considered. It is shown that the minimum mean squared error of the calculation is achieved for the values of the diameter of the disk 46 mm, 42 mm and 44 mm for the number of nodal circles 0, 1 and 2, respectively. To verify the accuracy of the interferometer, experimental, computational and analytical studies of console steel rod 200 × 22.25 × 3.78 mm in size were carried out.

Published: July 2021

Stress at the work place was declared by the World Health Organization as a worldwide epidemic. The stress caused by work appears when the balance between one's own possibilities and the environment demands is disturbed, which leads to a poor mental state. The fact is that the majority of dentists find they are under constant stress, which is caused by the nature of dental work. Literature describes dentistry as an extremely stressful profession. The main stressors include the tendency toward technical perfection, the causation of pain in patients, the lack of patient cooperation during dental treatment, the failure to maintain the given appointments. Adequate education and preparation, even during dental studies, non-neglect of symptoms and difficulties at the work place, adequate and timely response to the identification of the cause and its elimination or balancing, have a key role in solving this great problem in modern dentistry.

Authors: Paken Gamze , Ünal Merve
Published: July 2021

The aim of this study was to investigate in the esthetic perceptions of 2nd grade dental students before and after training. Material and Methods: A total of 16 photographs which contain golden ratio, buccal corridor, midline deviation, incisal embrasure, lip line, midline diastema, dark triangles and smile arc were shown to 78 dental students (33 male, 45 female). Immediately after the training about the smile esthetics, the same photos were shown again. The effect of gender on esthetic perception was also examined, in addition to assessing the effects of education on esthetic perception. Pearson Chi-square, Fisher's Exact test and McNemar test were used in the analysis of the results. Results: According to the results of the analysis, it was found that the answers of the smile arc before and after the education were statistically significant (p< 0.05). Accordingly, the rate of correct answers of women is statistically higher than that of men. A statistically significant difference was found between the responses to the gingival appearance in the smile before and after the education (p< 0.05). Conclusions: Based on the limited results of this study, professional dental education may affect the esthetic evaluation of smile. There were differences in the esthetic perception of women and men.
Electrical equivalent circuit for modelling permanent magnet synchronous motors
Authors: Beser Esra Kandemir
Published: July 2021

In permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) models, only the stator part is given as an electrical circuit and mechanical equations are used for modelling the mechanical part of the machine. In this study, electrical equivalents of mechanical equations are also obtained and mechanical parameters of a PMSM are expressed as an electrical circuit element. In this way, an exact electrical equivalent circuit is proposed in which both the stator and the mechanical part can be modelled as an electrical circuit for the PMSMs dynamic model. Although PMSM model includes mechanical parameters and variables, the complete model is expressed only in electrical elements and variables. The proposed PMSM circuit was simulated for different load torques in the circuit simulation program. Simulation results show that the proposed circuit operates like a PMSM. Simulation results were verified by another method in the form of solution of the differential equations that constitute the mathematical model of PMSM. Due to the proposed circuit that enables the conversion of mechanical parameters into electrical parameters, PMSM can be modelled and simulated as an electrical circuit with completely electrical elements in a circuit simulation program.

Published: July 2021

A compact microwave lowpass filter with sharp selectivity and wide stopband based on tilted rectangular slots is proposed in this paper. The developed prototype filter is based on the log periodic theory, where tilted log-periodic rectangular slots are studied for the first time. Effects resulting from the tilted slots on the performance of the studied filter are discussed and conclusions are drawn. A prototype of the proposed lowpass filter was fabricated and measured. The measured results show that the lowpass filter features a high selectivity and a wide suppression band from 4.05 GHz to 24.91 GHz under a level of 19.2 dB. Both measured and simulated performances are presented with good consistency.
The influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on Czech-Polish cross-border cooperation: From debordering to re-bordering?

Published: July 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes to social behaviours in Europe. One of its major consequences was the temporary closure of borders, which was introduced as a measure to prevent the uncontrolled pandemic spreading and involved internal Schengen borders. This has had a major impact in the way in which cross-border cooperation has been conducted in Europe, including the Czech-Polish borderland, as it dramatically restrained all flows across borders. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of the pandemic on five roles of cross-border cooperation: 1) as a multi-level governance form; 2) as a regional development tool; 3) as a para-diplomacy form; 4) as a post-conflict reconciliation tool; and 5) as Europe-building. We argue that the impacts of the pandemic complicated regional development and the Europe-building role of cross-border cooperation in the Czech-Polish borderland. The article envisages re-bordering processes also in the Czech-Polish borderland, but with important exceptions in the regions with a high level of cross-border integration, mainly in the Euroregion Těšínské Slezsko/Śląsk Cieszyński. The paper also calls for the elaboration of the guidelines for possible repeated (Schengen) border closures and proposes modifications of the INTERREG microprojects schemes, to keep them attractive also in times of expected cuts in public finances.
Conflicting imaginaries in the energy transition? Nature and renewable energy in Iceland
Authors: Benediktsson Karl
Published: July 2021

An improved understanding of the geographical unevenness of the global energy transition is important. The concept of ‘sociotechnical imaginaries’ has been used extensively for understanding how desired technology futures are envisioned and differentially articulated in various contexts. Supplementing this, the concept of ‘nature imaginaries’ is proposed in this article, to specifically address collective moral visions of human/nature relations that underwrite discourses and actions by various actors. Nature plays an active role in both types of imaginaries. Their complex interactions play a part in how energy transitions unfold. The article uses this framework for a description of the energy situation in Iceland, and its largely successful transition towards renewable energy through the development of hydropower and geothermal resources. Particular sociotechnical and nature imaginaries, sometimes opposed to each other, are discernible. The article argues that the analysis of conflicting imaginaries at work in specific energy transitions might help in identifying leverage points from where it is possible to work in a small way towards a global transition.

The factors that influence the strength characteristics of rocks can be different in nature, being divided into external and internal factors. The mechanical properties of hard rocks are a result of geological, physical and chemical factors. In order to highlight the physical parameters that influence the strength characteristics of the rocks, in this paper there were analyzed six types of volcanic magmatic rocks such as andesites. In terms of stress behavior, rocks are directly influenced by their physical properties, such as volumetric density, porosity, compactness, moisture and the degree of alteration of mineral components. For this purpose, several sets of tests were performed to determine the physical and mechanical characteristics of the rocks, based on which it was possible to analyze how the physical parameters influence the strength characteristics.

Silver (Ag) particle is a promising photocatalyst material with relatively high catalytic activity and good absorption in the visible light region. A dendritic structure of Ag has been studied in the purpose to enhance photocatalytic activity due to a large surface area and active site number of the metallic Ag particles. In this work, the Ag dendritic structure was synthesized from a surfactant-free electrolyte using the square wave voltammetry technique. The time-dependent growth of the Ag dendrites and their photocatalytic activity on methylene blue (MB) photodegradation are reported. Morphological analysis exhibits the fractal dendritic structure of Ag was found to continuously grow by increasing the deposition time. The Ag dendrites showed a low charge transfer resistance (366.21 Ω) and high specific capacitance (2.09 F/g). A high rate of MB degradation (45.57%) under ultraviolet irradiation indicated that the Ag dendrites produced using this technique are effective for the photocatalytic degradation of MB dye.
A Word From the Editors: Humanism in the Economy. Introduction to the Special Issue “Humanistic Economy”
Authors: Opolski Krzysztof , Gemzik-Salwach Agata
Published: July 2021

The special issue “Humanistic Economy” is a collection of articles which are a response to the increasingly frequent voices, for contemporary economics to be treated not only as a set of economic notions, but as a science, where human beings and their happiness are the main focus. The authors suggest the use of solutions from the area of psychology, sociology or cultural studies in economics, which allow considering economics as a humanities science. This special issue consists of this introduction and 13 submissions which are published in issues 10:2 and 10:3.
Multi-Factor Evaluation of the Financialization Degree of Polish Households in the Background of the Euro Area
Authors: Chmiel Justyna
Published: July 2021

Financialization is a term that is becoming increasingly popular in the Polish literature. One of its important aspects, which is multidimensionality, is often emphasized. It is a process whose effects are visible at all levels of the economy. The effects of financialization could be seen both at the national level and in the basic economic unit, which is a household. Firstly, the purpose of this study is to analyze changes, which in literature are considered to be symptoms of financialization in Polish households. The second, no less important goal, is to compare the level of financialization of Polish households with the level characteristic for countries belonging to the euro area.
Social Trust as a Development Factor – Selected Aspects
Authors: Kmak Małgorzata
Published: July 2021

The aim of the article is to present selected relationships between social trust and the development of a territorial unit. Social trust affects the level of cooperation in society and decides about the competitiveness of a territorial unit [12, p. 7]. The main thesis of the article is the author’s conviction that there is a significant correlation between social trust and the activity of citizens, the consequence of which is the development of territorial units. This relationship applies to different categories of units, the article mainly focuses on municipal units. The conclusions presented are a consequence of the analysis of information sources and surveys carried out in three cities: Cracow, Helsinki and Valletta. The socio-economic situation of Poland, Finland and Malta is varied, also due to historical and political conditions. Social trust in these cities depends on different factors. Everywhere, however, significantly affects the direction of urban development, accelerating and stabilising it. Trust is a component of social capital, which translates into the ability to build an innovative and modern economy. In countries where citizens trust each other, a sense of security increases which significantly affects well-being.

Authors: SAFONOVA Margarita F. , VYALAYA Evgeniya S.
Published: July 2021

Subject. This article analyzes the activities of therapeutic resort and spa facilities from the point of view of the social importance of the population's health. It discusses the problems of improving the system of cost control and calculating the cost of a unit of services provided by these facilities to obtain reliable information and optimize the costs.
Objectives. Based on the analysis of statistical information and scientific sources, the article aims to form an opinion on the state of the health resort complex, the structure of costs, and their share by items and elements in the total amount of production costs, and develop a methodology for their continuous control, taking into account the industry specifics to minimize risks.
Methods. For the study, we used analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, literature review, and the calculation, graphical, accounting and analytical methods.
Results. The article finds that the service provided by the health resort industry organizations is complex (accommodation, food, treatment) and therefore, it has a multi-element cost structure, which entails certain financial, tax, management risks that need continuous monitoring.
Conclusions and Relevance. The proposed methodology helps to continuously control the costs of a multi-component service provided by economic entities of the health resort sector, optimizing them taking into account the industry specifics. This makes it possible to make this service more accessible to all segments of the population. The results of the study can be used in the theory and practice of internal cost control and the formation of the cost of a unit of services provided by the health resort institutions, as well as for further scientific developments and practical application.
