Icelandic church embroideries on flax and hemp linen. Local or imported bast fibers?
Authors: Skoglund Git , Suomela Jenni , Wright Krista
Published: December 2024

The National Museum of Iceland located in Reykjavik houses a rich collection of embroidered church and secular textiles from the late Middle Ages to early modern times. The collection contains objects of cultural and historical significance including altar cloths and valances or wall hangings. The majority are needlework on lérept or literally ‘linen’, a general term referring to tabby woven fabrics made of plant fibers. The collection is unique, not only beause of the age of the textiles and their abundant colorful embroidery with figurative and narrative elements, but also that they are embroidered and not patterned by weaving techniques, which was more common in similar textiles made by local women from other regions of contemporary Scandinavia. Previous research suggests that Icelandic church textiles were made of imported flax fabric rather than being grown and woven locally, also that a lot of the needlework was carried out by local women. In this research selected accessions were analytically investigated with microscope techniques using the “three-stage procedure” to identify the botanical origin of the plant fibers yarns. Our investigation shows that the foundation fabrics were made of either flax or hemp, and that we cannot rule out local production of plant fiber yarns and fabrics.

The effect of Carbon Emissions on Life Expectancy: Evidence from Azerbaijan
Authors: Javanshirova Zuleykha
Published: December 2024

Life expectancy (LEX) is an important indicator of the general health status and quality of life of a country. It is directly related to factors such as the effectiveness of a country's health policies and the level of social and economic welfare. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are one of the key causes of global climate change and have direct negative impacts on human health through air pollution. Many studies in the literature have revealed that high CO2 emissions have negative effects on health and reduce life expectancy. This study, probably the first of its kind in Azerbaijan, was analyzed using data for the period 1974-2022. The stationarity of the variables was tested with nonlinear unit root tests such as KSS, Sollis and Kruse and it was found that they were not stationary at the level. The existence of a cointegration relationship between the variables was determined through the A-ARDL method. Based on the results obtained from CCR and FMOLS method, a 1% increase in CO2 leads to a 0.15% decrease in LEX. In addition, the results of the FTY causality test revealed that there is unidirectional causality from CO2 to LEX.

Authors: Javanshirova Zuleykha
Published: December 2024

This is the pioneering study to examine the impact of CO2 emissions on infant mortality rates (IMR) in Azerbaijan using data covering the period 1982-2022. The stationarity levels of the variables were analyzed with nonlinear unit root tests (KSS, Sollis and Kruse) and the results showed that CO2 was non-stationary while IMR was stationary. We determined the existence of a long-run relationship between the variables and analyzed the long-run effects using the A-ARDL method. The findings revealed that a 1% increase in CO2 emissions increases IMR by 1.69% on average. Causality analysis using the Fourier Todo-Yamamoto test shows that there is a unidirectional causal relationship from CO2 to IMR. These results emphasize the critical impact of environmental pollution on infant health.

Authors: Wei Shen , Wei Dongyuan
Published: December 2024

Fencing is a unique combat sport characterized by its dynamic movements, strategic interactions, and the need for rapid decision-making. Central to a fencer’s performance is the lunge, a foundational movement that enables athletes to engage their opponent effectively while maintaining balance and control. It executes precise and explosive movements, particularly during lunges, which are critical for both offensive and defensive strategies. Understanding the biomechanical characteristics of this action is critical for maximizing performance, improving training regimens, and lowering injury risk. The objective of this study is to investigate the biomechanical characteristics of fencing lunge movements and their implications for physical training. A total of 126 fencers participated in this study. They are randomly divided into two groups: Group A, who received physical training based on biomechanical intervention, and Group B, who received traditional physical training. Using motion capture data through cameras, sensors and force plates, the lunge technique of competitive fencers is analyzed, examining variables such as joint angles, force application, and ground reaction forces. The data analysis and statistical methods include descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA to identify significant differences between the groups. The findings demonstrate Group A significantly improved the optimal lunge execution, which is characterized by specific patterns of joint movement, particularly at the ankle, knee, and hip, which correlate with successful reach and stability. Also, Group A identified the importance of muscular strength, flexibility, and reaction time in enhancing lunge performance to Group B. The study describes that integrating these biomechanical concepts into training programs, coaches, and players can enhance performance, reduce the risk of injury, and encourage long-term fencing success.

Authors: Almohammad Dawoud , Kilic Cumali , Bek Danya Raouf , Ammari Mohammad Tarek , Hasan Huda , Sandeh Mustafa
Published: December 2024

This research investigates how workload and job characteristics impact job satisfaction among expatriate academics at Turkish universities. Using a quantitative approach, a questionnaire in Turkish, English, and Arabic was distributed by expatriate academics across various Turkish universities. A total of 132 responses were analyzed. Results indicate that attitudes toward workload are generally neutral, likely due to varying workloads by position and location, which affects job satisfaction. Job autonomy and job clarity significantly improve job satisfaction by offering flexibility and clear expectations, respectively. In contrast, a higher workload correlates with reduced satisfaction, as it increases stress and diminishes recognition, ultimately impacting performance. The study may lack generalizability due to the limited range of nationalities and majors among participants and its focus on expatriate academics. Future research could explore other expatriate types in diverse cultural settings. To enhance job satisfaction, institutions should balance workloads, boost job autonomy, and provide clear roles while fostering a supportive environment. These measures may mitigate overload and support expatriates’ job satisfaction and productivity. This study uniquely addresses expatriate academics' challenges, offering valuable insights into supporting their well-being and performance.

Published: December 2024

Effective internal communication plays a key role in shaping organisational culture, increasing employee satisfaction and improving performance, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of two-way communication and leadership styles on the employees of Slovakian SMEs, with a particular focus on the challenges posed by the  pandemic COVID-19. A mixed methodology was used in the research, which included questionnaire data collection and statistical analysis of the results to explore the frequency and effectiveness of communication and the impact of leadership styles on conflict management. The results highlight that assertive communication and two-way information flow help to increase trust and commitment while having a positive impact on employee motivation and job satisfaction. However, hierarchical communication gaps and inappropriate leadership styles often lead to dissatisfaction and inefficiency. The research has also shown that sustainable development goals, such as incorporating the principles of a circular economy, can contribute to increasing the effectiveness of internal communication and strengthening organisational stability. The new communication challenges brought about by the pandemic, including the consequences of remote working such as feelings of isolation and difficulties in information flow, further reinforce the importance of effective management practices and communication strategies. The paper offers practical suggestions for optimising internal communication systems that can help to increase organisational resilience, improve employee well-being and implement effective leadership practices. The results can contribute to the development of communication strategies and the achievement of organisational success in SMEs.

This study investigates the relationship between financial culture and financial planning, emphasizing their critical impact on organizational success and economic resilience. Financial culture, defined as the combination of financial knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, directly influences decision-making, revenue management, and long-term sustainability. Despite global challenges and economic disruptions, the relevance of financial culture persists, particularly in fostering innovation and adaptability within organizations. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining a detailed literature review with in-depth interviews conducted with representatives of SMEs and public sector entities. The literature review highlights disparities in financial literacy and its implications for different sectors, focusing on legislative frameworks, financial decision-making processes, and sustainable financial practices. Primary research findings reveal that SMEs often face challenges such as limited resources and intense competition, while public institutions are shaped by strict regulatory frameworks that emphasize fiscal responsibility. The integration of circular economy principles into financial planning emerges as a significant strategy, offering opportunities to enhance resource efficiency and align financial practices with sustainability goals. Key results demonstrate the importance of financial literacy programs tailored to organizational needs, particularly for SMEs operating in dynamic and resource-constrained environments. Furthermore, adopting circular economy principles proves particularly beneficial in industries such as tourism development, which require sustainable resource management to ensure long-term viability. The findings offer practical insights for policymakers, educators, and business leaders, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to strengthen financial culture. By fostering financial literacy and incorporating sustainable practices, organizations can enhance their economic stability, competitiveness, and contribution to broader societal goals.

The Concept of Imamate and the Theory of Wilayatul Faqih in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Authors: Haris Abdul
Published: December 2024

Al-Qur’an and Hadith the two main sources of Islamic teaching do not mention any kind of state that moslems should build whether it be monarchy state or democratic one. More than that, both sources do not either tell the way to choose a leader. Al-Qur’an only tells that the public affairs should be discussed among the moslems particularly their prominent figures. So it was the creativity and improvisation of the disciples of the late prophet when they chose the first four caliphs. On the other hand, the Syiah community established their belief that leadership (imamah) of moslems community does not belong to any moslem but it belongs to Ali Bin Abi Thalib and his descendants. Then the imamah transformed to the concept of Wilayatul Faqih in the modern Islamic Republic of Iran. This study describes how the concept of imamah growed and transformed to theory of wilayatul faqih in Syiah community of Iran

Published: December 2024

Bilalang Satu Village is a village in Bilalang Subdistrict, Bolaang Mongondow Regency, North Sulawesi, where the majority of residents are Muslim. On several occasions, they have engaged in pawning practices to meet financial needs. Unfortunately, the current pawning practices are deemed non-compliant with Islamic Law, for example: 20% monthly interest rates without time limits, smaller loan amounts compared to the pawned item's value, creditor intimidation during default, and weak legal instruments protecting pawn customers. The community's lack of understanding regarding Sharia pawning further aggravates this situation. This study aims to analyze the Sharia compliance of pawning practices in Bilalang Satu Village and formulate recommendations for reform. The research utilizes a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection is conducted through in-depth interviews, observations, documentation review of pawning contracts, and literature review. The collected data is then qualitatively analyzed from an Islamic economic perspective. The results show that asset pawning in this village has minimal compliance with Sharia principles and provisions, making it potentially exploitative and detrimental to villagers. The recommendations formulated include: massive socialization and regulation of Sharia pawning, establishment of a Sharia Pawning Cooperative, as well as sustainable educational and assistance programs. These reform efforts require a participatory approach to be genuinely accepted by villagers. Thus, it is hoped that pawning practices in Bilalang Satu Village will be able to align with the principles of justice in the Islamic economy.

A pihenőidők uniós jogi megfelelősége
Authors: Kártyás Gábor
Published: December 2024

A munkavállalót megillető minimális pihenőidők az uniós szociális jog különlegesen fontos szabályai, amelyeket az Európai Unió Alapjogi Chartája 31. cikk (2) bekezdése is nevesít. A tanulmány áttekinti, milyen előírásokat tartalmaz az uniós jog a pihenőidőkre, és ezeket hogyan értelmezte az Európai Unió Bírósága. Egy általános áttekintés után először a pihenőidők mennyiségére és a beosztására vonatkozó szabályok, majd a lehetséges kivételek elemzésére kerül sor. Ezt követően a tanulmány három jelentős jogharmonizációs problémára mutat rá. Egyrészt, a kötetlen munkarend hazai szabályai életszerűbbek ugyan, mint ahogyan az önálló munkavállaló fogalmát a Bíróság értelmezi, ám ettől még az uniós jogba ütközés megállapítható. Másrészt, a heti pihenőidő alatti rendkívüli munkavégzés lehetősége alkalmas arra, hogy teljesen kiüresítse a heti pihenőidőt, amit ezért mindenképpen korlátozni kellene. Végül, a heti pihenőidő összevont kiadására vonatkozó szabályoknál nem csak az irányelv és a magyar jog eltérő fogalomhasználata okozhat problémát, hanem az is, hogy a szabályozás rendkívül hosszú időszakokra teszi lehetővé a folyamatos, pihenőnap nélküli munkavégzést.
La sociedad es antes que el individuo

El artículo resalta la manifiesta incomodidad del liberalismo español ante la idea de autonomía del individuo. A través del análisis del discurso de las familias liberales, se concluye que el núcleo de esa cultura política durante la época isabelina estuvo articulado en torno a una visión del hombre que recelaba de la razón y de la voluntad humanas. Fue una cultura mayoritariamente recorrida por referencias antropológicas y unos argumentos de autoridad que rechazaban la soberanía del individuo.

The study examined the socio-economic characteristics of residents of Lagos metropolis as factors influencing housing finance accessibility in Lagos metropolis. This was with a view to providing information that could enhance housing development in the study area. Relevant data for the study were obtained through the administration of 535 copies of a set of questionnaire on the household heads, out of which 475 copies were fully completed and returned; representing 88.8% return-rate, across the three residential density zones of the study area. The results of multiple regression analysis revealed that applicant’s stable employment (t=3.85), possession of land and title to land (t=2.11), applicant’s level of income (t=2.17), high level of financial involvement in housing project (t=3.27) were factors which significantly influenced housing finance accessibility at 0.05 level of significance. Results of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) also show that there exit differences in the level of accessibility to housing finance among the three residential densities of high, medium and low with F-value of 7.425. P ≤ 0.01 (df = 2(39). The mean difference showed that low density residential area had better access to housing finance than the high-density area but there was no significant difference between the low-density area and the medium density residential area with respect to housing finance. The Chi-square (χ2) statistics further revealed that respondents’ occupation (χ2 = 69.27) and estimated monthly income (χ2 = 93.51) were the significant variables that influenced residents’ level of accessibility to housing finance at 0.01 level of significance.

The concept of Sustainable Development (SD) has gained popularity and prominence in theory, but it tends to be misunderstood. The conflict between theory and practice lies in the misconception of sustainable construction in Africa, with Nigeria being no exception. Therefore, the study examined the level of awareness of SD and its principles among building construction professionals in Asaba, Delta State. The study adopted a survey research design, which involved the use of questionnaires and interviews. A total of 84 questionnaires were administered, but only 68 responses were validated for analysis. Data collected were analyzed using the Relative Importance Index (RII). The study found that most respondents and professionals are aware of the concept of Sustainable Development and its principles in the study area, which corresponds to an RII of 1.0. Despite this awareness, the concept of SD tends to be neglected and underplayed in Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria. Consequentially, sustainable development and sustainability are not adequately addressed during construction phases. Based on these findings, it is concluded that the concept of SD is not well understood or fully appreciated by professionals in the study area. As a result, the concept remains normative, subjective, and ambiguous to them. Therefore, it is recommended that construction regulatory bodies, professional associations, and institutions of higher learning promote and organize training, education, and sensitization programs focused on SD principles in construction practices. Such initiatives would enhance the existing knowledge of construction professionals regarding SD.

Citrus is one of the most consumed fruit crops in the world, its peels are often discarded, contributing to environmental pollution. This study aims at extracting the bioactive compounds in these wastes and showing the possible effect of digestion on the type and amount of the phytochemicals present. Using maceration, five solvents (Acetone, dichloromethane, methanol, n-hexane and distilled water) were used for the extraction and the phytochemical detection and quantification were performed using reagent detection methods. Simulated gastro intestinal digestions were carried out on the extracts by mimicking the digestive process that occur in the stomach and the intestine invitro and the phytochemical analysis repeated. The results before the digestion showed the presence of all the phytochemicals assayed for in the methanol and distilled water extracts. Flavonoids were also seen to be present in the extracts obtained from all the solvents used. Varying amounts of the phytochemicals were obtained after the quantitative screening; flavonoids were found to have a higher amount than other secondary metabolites with 16.68±0.1mg/100g in distilled water and 14.72±0.86mg/100g in dichloromethane extracts. During digestion, changes in pH, viscosity, aroma and color were observed in both gastric and intestinal phases. Additionally, phytochemical screening after the digestion revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids and tannins in the acetone extract. Flavonoids, phenols and tannins were present in dichloromethane extract, flavonoids and tannins were present in distilled water, whereas only tannin was present in methanol. None of the phytochemical was present in extract dissolved in N-hexane while saponin was absent in all the solvents after digestion. Quantitatively, the result showed varying amounts of the phytochemical in the extract with flavonoids in acetone and dichloromethane (1.94±0.01mg/100g) and tannins in methanol (1.95±0.01mg/100g) having the highest value while phenol in dichloromethane (1.61±0.41mg/100g) has the lowest value. The results obtained showed that digestion has affected the type and quantity of phytochemicals found in citrus-derived waste.
