Quranic Concept of Halalan Tayyiban and its Application in Food and Beverages of Hospitality Sector in Malaysia
Authors: Yahaya Amiratul Munirah , Ruzulan Zulaipa
Published: November 2020

Halal hospitality services have been increasing year by year due to the demand from Muslims for halal food and beverages. With this development, there is a need to ensure that the halal food providers are well-equipped enough with halal knowledge in order to ensure Muslim consumers obtain halal food in the best manner. This is because malpractice could happen if the practitioners are having lack of knowledge on halal related matter. In relation to this, this article aims to discuss the Quranic concept of halalan tayyiban and its application in food and beverage in the hospitality sector in Malaysia. Firstly, the study aims to examine the Quranic principles of halalan tayyiban. Secondly, it takes into account to what extent that these Quranic principles are applied in the hospitality sector of Malaysia, hence, these principles are examined and analysed accordingly. The methods of data collection involved library research and in-depth interview with hospitality skills trainer. The technique of analysis used was content analysis. Data related to the study were analysed and descriptive data using percentages was used. The findings of the study indicated that some hotels are concerned with the Quranic concept of halalan tayyiban and it is applied in serving their food and beverage in order to attract more customers who are particular into taking halalan tayyiban food and beverage for healthy and righteous living.
LIPSIUS’ ‟DE CONSTANTIA”, 17TH CENTURY STILL LIFE PAINTING AND THE USE OF CONSTANCY TODAY
Authors: IACOB Anisia
Published: November 2020

Lipsius’ De constantia, 17th Century Still Life Painting and the Use of Constancy Today. The present article revisits the main ideas from Justus Lipsius’ De constantia in the light of the present ongoing pandemic. Through his interest for the Stoics, Lipsius was able to contribute to a more general and European interest towards this topic, reviving the Stoic philosophy under the name of Neostoicism. The influence of his ideas can be seen in some art production, especially the one that is connected to the places where Lipsius lived and it is a testimony to their popularity and the various ways of transmitting them. Even if the Stoic ideal remains an ideal, the Neostoicism of Justus Lipsius is meaningful in as much as any philosophy that deals with crises because it can help us view the text from both its relevancy and our recent general experience. The isolation, the anxiety, the uneasiness and fear are emotions that have been more or less present in our lives during this pandemic and they require a solution. Constancy is the solution that Justus Lipsius proposes.
FEMINIST INTERPRETATIONS OF ACTION AND THE PUBLIC IN HANNAH ARENDT’S THEORY
Authors: BÍRÓ Noémi
Published: November 2020

Feminist Interpretations of Action and the Public in Hannah Arendt’s Theory. Arendt’s typology of human activity and her arguments on the precondition of politics allow for a variety in interpretations for contemporary political thought. The feminist reception of Arendt’s work ranges from critical to conciliatory readings that attempt to find the points in which Arendt’s theory might inspire a feminist political project. In this paper I explore the ways in which feminist thought has responded to Arendt’s definition of action, freedom and politics, and whether her theoretical framework can be useful in a feminist rethinking of politics, power and the public realm.
CLOSE: NEARING THE FUTURE BY MEANS OF SYMBIOGENESIS AND HYPEROBJECTIVITY
Authors: BOBOESCU Ioan-Cristian
Published: November 2020

Close: Nearing the Future by Means of Symbiogenesis and Hyperobjectivity. At the beginning of the 21st century we find a call for philosophers to join a new alliance: with artists and architects rather than linguists or physicists. In order to see the ecosystem, we need to switch concepts, look away from nature and move towards ambiance and hyperobjects. Along with this rehabilitation of Aristotle (by speculative realism and, more specifically, object-oriented ontology) comes a call for a fresh start as post-humanistic symbionts. These are proposals for alternatives to the catastrophic end of the short-lived drama of the Anthropocene. All this aids the here introduction of near-future hyperobjectivity.
La estrategia de Arabia Saudí en el Consejo de Cooperación del Golfo. Espacios de cooperación y conflicto
Authors: González del Miño Paloma , Hernández Martínez David
Published: November 2020

El Consejo de Cooperación para los Estados Árabes del Golfo es la organización regional más importante de Oriente Medio. Desde la década de 1980, ha servido para impulsar la integración económica y política de las seis monarquías que lo constituyen. Tras la Primavera Árabe de 2011, la tensión entre los miembros ha crecido debido a los diferentes intereses manifestados ante las crisis locales. En el Consejo predomina la influencia de Arabia Saudí. El rey Salmán y el príncipe Mohammed bin Salmán intentan reforzar el liderazgo saudí sobre el resto de los socios con el propósito de construir una política exterior común dirigida desde Riad. Sin embargo, los otros países del Consejo, especialmente Catar, no comparten plenamente sus objetivos, por lo que se ha abierto un periodo de enorme confrontación interna que desestabiliza por completo la zona y pone en riesgo la perdurabilidad de la organización y los mecanismos de integración. El artículo analiza el papel de la organización en las estrategias de seguridad y cooperación regional y presta atención al papel desempeñado por Arabia Saudí y a las tensiones surgidas entre los socios.
La vivienda vernácula en Burkina Faso: transformaciones de los modos de habitar de las culturas del Sahel
Authors: Sánchez María Aguilar , Melendo José Manuel Almodóvar
Published: November 2020

Burkina Faso es un país de África subsahariana con un alto índice de pobreza que, al igual que otros países del Sahel, ha triplicado su población en el último medio siglo, al pasar de 4.5 a 18 millones de habitantes. Estos cambios demográficos, unidos a las migraciones y a la importación de nuevos materiales de construcción, han modificado los modos de vida tradicionales. Como resultado, las nuevas tipologías de viviendas que se están implantando masivamente en la periferia de las ciudades difieren en gran medida de la arquitectura tradicional. Tras varias estancias de larga duración y seis meses de trabajo de campo, se analizan diferentes modos de habitar de las culturas mossi y peul. Los resultados muestran que la introducción de la propiedad de la tierra, la especulación en el sector constructivo y la cada vez mayor escasez de recursos naturales están obligando a estas culturas a modificar sus modos de vida.

Albores de la japonología moderna en España. Reseña con motivo de los Ensayos en honor del profesor Antonio Cabezas
Authors: Centeno Martín Marcos Pablo
Published: November 2020

Pese a haberse adelantado a los escritos en otras lenguas europeas, los textos en castellano sobre Japón que se remontan al siglo XVI han experimentado una evolución con altibajos a lo largo de la historia. Aun teniendo un carácter pionero, no evitaron un sonado retraso en el desarrollo español de la japonología y los estudios japoneses en el último siglo. El libro Ensayos en honor del profesor Antonio Cabezas (2014) contribuye a reconocer el papel que tuvo la primera generación japonólogos modernos, a la que pertenecía el profesor Cabezas, en la larga pero intermitente historia de los escritos sobre Japón en castellano.

Authors: Iglin A. V.
Published: November 2020

INTRODUCTION. The article examines globalization processes in terms of their impact on sport, namely the integration of sport into current UN programmes based on the acts of the General Assembly and the accompanying framework standards. The author analyses the practices of Member States, the United Nations system and international sports organizations to lay the groundwork for joint action in the field of sport. The relevance of the study in the analysis of the latest UN incentive standards: the Kazan Action Plan and the Global Action Plan to increase the level of physical activity for 2018-2030, thus Russia plays an active role in their implementation.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. In conducting the study, the author relies on foreign doctrine, the practice of the subjects involved in the international sports movement, UN acts. Research methods: a dialectical approach to the knowledge of the WORK of the UN, allowing to analyze it in historical development and functioning in the context of coordination of cooperation in the field of sports. Comparative-legal method and dialectic determined the choice of specific methods of research: comparative and formal-legal.

RESEARCH RESULTS. Based on the analysis of UN acts affecting the impact of globalization on sport, the development of international relations in the systems of integration sports relations is considered, it is concluded that in the field of international tools A new model for regulating sport is being developed, a holistic conglomeration of rules and regulations that drives the globalism of sport and the achievement of the UN's socially significant goals.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The author has proven the potential of the UN's analysis of international sporting events, and has come to the conclusion that it is necessary to promote it through sports initiatives as a means of promoting development and peace and topics it is inevitable that permanent cooperation of nations within the world sporting movement is on the development agenda. The arguments in the article in favor of a new model of sports-legal regulation are intended to streamline the international legal set of rules affecting sport.
International legal regulation of the employment of artificial-intelligence-related technologies in armed conflict
Authors: Lewis D.
Published: November 2020

INTRODUCTION. In recent years, increased attention has been dedicated at the international level to legal issues concerning the possible employment of artificialintelligence-related technologies in hostilities in armed conflict. Most prominently, discussions in the framework of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) have addressed juridical aspects relative to emerging technologies in the area of lethal autonomous weapons systems.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. I analyze contemporary intergovernmental debates in the context of the CCW, international legal frameworks pertaining to armed conflict, and developments in relevant technologies. I do so to trace current trajectories and generate an analytical framework to help apply legal responsibility.

RESEARCH RESULTS. A disagreement has arisen among certain States in the context of the CCW as to whether to develop a new primary legal norm or whether existing international humanitarian law is suffi ent. Taking account of that current normative impasse, I propose an analytical framework aimed at ensuring the applicability of international legal responsibility in respect of the employment of AI-related technologies in armed conflict.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. Given the range of relevant technologies, the employment of AI in armed conflict may occur across diverse thematic and functional areas: not only in the conduct of hostilities, including weapons, but also detention, humanitarian services, maritime systems, and many other areas. Identification of the general concepts and specific attributes necessary to apply international legal responsibility across the array of implicated areas may help provide a framework through which to respect the law, guide behavior, pursue accountability, and generate areas of greater normative consensus.
Key Issues of International Legal Regulation of Autonomous Maritime Navigation
Authors: Gavrilov V. V. , Dremliuga R. I.
Published: November 2020

INTRODUCTION.Onthebasisofprovisionsofthe1982UNConventionontheLawoftheSeaandotherlegaldocuments, the article analyzes topical issues of the current and future international legal regulation of the use of maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS), which are capable of completely transforming the shipping and international maritime transportation industry in the near future.

MATERIALSANDMETHODS.Theissues raisedinthearticlearestructurallydividedintothreemain

groups.Thefirstoneisconnectedwiththeanthropocentrismofthe‘pre-digitalera’law– that is, with its inability to work with other autonomous subjects except for people and various forms of their organization. The second is determined by specific characteristics of autonomous systems themselves, among which their non-determinism and ability to self-study should be noted. The third group is directly related to the legal support of MASS cybersecurity in the new conditions.

RESEARCHRESULTS.Whenwriting the article, the authors proceeded from the fact that the issue of extending the application of international maritime law to MASS cannot be solved by simply transferring its regulatory impact to new subjects (objects) – artificial intelligence systems or autonomous ships themselves. Such a transfer is impossible, since human and artificial intelligence use completely different decisionmaking algorithms.

DISCUSSIONANDCONCLUSIONS.Th mainconclusionofthearticleisthatthewidespreadintegrationofMASSintothepracticeofinternationalmaritimetransportationwillbea turning point not only for the very procedure for its performance, but also for the algorithm of legal regulation of this sphere of public relations. Since the emergence of autonomous ships will mainly result in a gradual decrease of the human component in managing them in favor of artificial intelligence and related automated systems, international law of the sea is unlikely to continue to operate in its current form. It will take a lot of work to adapt and changeitsnormsinaccordancewiththenewrealitiesofthe‘digitalera’ofhumandevelopment.

Aortic arch aneurysms represent a major challenge as the involvement of the supra-aortic vessels demands a complex surgical technique. Since the advent of endovascular aortic repair, hybrid treatment of aortic arch disease has emerged in recent years. The procedure consists of surgical bypass of the supra-aortic vessels followed by exclusion of the aneurysm with an endograft. This hybrid method is known as debranching and, briefly, consists in performing bypasses between the ascending aorta and the brachiocephalic artery, the left carotid artery and possibly the left subclavian artery without cardiopulmonary bypass, in order to advance an endograft to cover the entire lumen of the aneurysm. The aim of this paper is to describe the surgical technique of type I hybrid debranching without cardiopulmonary bypass and antegrade endograft delivery to treat aortic arch aneurysms.
Leveraging International Law to Strengthen the National Legal Framework on Child Sexual Abuse Material in Namibia
Authors: Witting Sabine Katharina , Angula Markus
Published: November 2020

With the gazetting of the Regulations of the Child Care and Protection Act 3 of 2015, on 30 January 2019, a crucial regulatory piece of children’s rights in Namibia has finally been operationalised. However, the Act insufficiently addresses new emerging online offences against children such as the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material, and hence leaves a considerable gap in the protection of children’s rights. As the Namibian Constitution follows a monist approach to international law, this article argues that the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography can be directly applied to complement the national legal framework to prosecute cases of possessing and disseminating child sexual abuse material, while upholding fair-trial principles.
Design of adsorption column for reclamation of methyldiethanolamine using homogeneous surface diffusion model
Authors: Kannan Pravin , Pal Priyabrata , Banat Fawzi
Published: November 2020

A predictive simulation model was applied to design a fixed-bed adsorber for studying the removal of Total Organic Acid (TOA) anions from lean Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solution using Calcium Alginate Bentonite (CAB) clay hybrid composite adsorbent. Unlike other conventional techniques typically used for packed bed design, the predictive Homogeneous Surface Diffusion Model (HSDM) does not require any test column breakthrough curves a priori. Mass transfer coefficients and isotherm model parameters are provided as input data to HSDM for simulating column breakthrough curves. Various isotherm models were fitted to batch equilibrium data for TOA adsorption on CAB composite adsorbent. Based on Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Freundlich isotherm was selected and the model parameters were obtained by non-linear regression. Film transfer coefficients and surface diffusivities were determined using appropriate empirical correlations available in the literature. HSDM predictions were first validated using lab-scale column adsorption data generated at lower residence times. The effects of dimensionless numbers (Biot and Stanton) on breakthrough times were investigated using the dimensionless HSDM system and a suitable scale-up regime (Bi& ~& 1 and St& >& 10) was established wherein the sensitivity of mass transfer parameters would be minimal. Using similitude rules on key design parameters, a pilot-scale adsorption column was designed and breakthrough curves were generated using the validated HSDM. The appropriateness of the design technique was verified by comparing the estimated breakthrough data and column design parameters with conventional scale-up and kinetic approaches.
DESIGNING A FEMALE ELEGANCE MODEL BASED ON THE IDEAS OF MAGGI RUFF
Authors:   Kazan Innovative University named after V. G. Timiryasov, Kazan, Russia, Yakovleva E.L.
Published: November 2020

The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the attention of a modern personality is focused on the formation of the image. It helps not only to present it favorably, but at the same time to develop your own individual style. Among the significant components of style is elegance, which contributes to the uniqueness of the personality and its memorization in the environment. In this regard, the aim of the study was an attempt to construct a model of elegance, the analysis of which is built using the phenomenological and systemic approaches. A fairly complete phenomenological description of elegance in the first half of the twentieth century was carried out by the French fashion designer Maggi Ruff. The appeal to the systems approach of R. Barthes helped to create a theoretical construction of elegance, which became the novelty of the undertaken research. The elegance model is based on image (formal aspect) and fashion code (content aspect). In turn, the image of elegance is procedural: it includes the idea of an elegant image-design, realized in the image-embodiment, and the visibility of the latter contributes to the formation of the image-perception both by the person himself and by the people around him. The image of elegance corresponds to the aesthetic standards of the cultural and historical era, and its understanding is made possible thanks to the stories-descriptions using the fashion code. It includes semantic units with a rather abstract character and their metaphorical description (rhetoric). Among the semantic units of elegance, one can distinguish beauty, femininity, taste, life experience and improvisation, which manifest themselves already at the level of an image-concept, as well as chic, quality, well-groomed, additional details (accessories, aroma), clearly presented in the image-embodiment. The above affects the image-perception and its description. Today, there are certain transformations in the understanding of elegance. The intellectual component, harmony and taste gradually begin to disappear in it, and simulations and semantic units unacceptable for elegance (ugliness, absurdity, grotesque, lack of quality, simulative chic, lies) come to the fore.

The article presents an analysis of the differentiation of wages from the position of identifying the influence of the territorial factor. The study of territorial wages remains relevant for the Russian Federation; features of the regions, the development of certain types of activities in combination with regional features continue to affect differences in earnings. The purpose of the article is to identify the territorial features of wage differentiation. Aggregated data of official statistics and microdata of the Selective observation of population incomes and participation in social programs were used as an information base. The analysis of the data of regional statistics of wages, leaders and outsiders, the level of variation in wages within the federal districts. Due to regional price differences, the analysis takes into account differences in changes in prices and the purchasing power of wages. The emphasis is placed on the possibilities of using Mincer type wage models for individual regions and their comparative analysis based on empirical data. Regression models for leader entities and outsider entities, federal districts and the Russian Federation as a whole have been constructed. Based on the results of the analysis, conclusions are drawn about the sustainability of territorial wage differentiation in Russia. The main differences are manifested in the maximum values of the average wage by subjects, while the minimum values are almost at the same level. When purchasing power is taken into account with the help of a fixed set of consumer goods and services, differences in the remuneration of subjects of leadership and subjects of outsiders are reduced from four to three times. Simulation of the logarithm of wages for all federal districts and the Russian Federation as a whole confirmed a statistically significant influence on factors such as age, level of education, gender of a worker, type of settlement, and membership in a particular socio-professional group. A noticeable reduction in the return on education in federal districts with a low level of average wages was revealed; in such conditions, the employee’s membership in the group of managers becomes the dominant earnings. Attention is focused on increasing cash incomes of the population and wages in regions with special living conditions as a factor in overcoming the outflow of the population from Siberia and the Far East. Further areas of the study of territorial wage differentiation can be expanded by using panel data for each region in the analysis in order to study the dependencies in space and time.

The paper focuses on the moral portrait of modern Russian entrepreneurs which is currently subject to a drastic change. A historical overview of Russian entrepreneurial traditions is provided. Entrepreneur moral has always played a vital role in economy development and will always play. Moreover, business people values affect the institutional interaction at micro-, mezo- and macro-levels. To highlight the entrepreneurial culture principles of Russian entrepreneurs from historical point of view, and show illiteracy of modern students in economics in the issues of Russian entrepreneurship history. Methods and methodological units of research are content analysis, culture genesis, empirical study. The poll of the first and second-year students of two leading universities was conducted, and its results revealed ignorance of to-be economists on the issues of Russian entrepreneurship history. Hence, our students would not be able to follow the traditions of Russian entrepreneurship. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the theoretical and methodological justification of moral qualities of Russian entrepreneurs of the 19th-20thcenturies and their applicability/impossibility of use by modern entrepreneurs in conditions of informatization and digitalization. Research results can be used by Universities for tailoring their educational programmes for to-be economists and entrepreneurs.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the theoretical approaches of the theory of human capital and its definitions involving the coverage of concepts in historical retrospective. The relevance of the issue is due to a rather serious growth of the terminological field, which complicates the further theoretical conceptual development. Therefore, the aim of the article is to systematize existing approaches and basic concepts of human capital based on changes caused by interchangeable technological structures. The research methodology is based on the use of content analysis, historical and structural approaches. The research basis is classical studies of the theory of human capital as well as the work of Russian scientists over the past ten years. After the collection of scientific papers representing the conceptualization of theories of human capital was completed, selective work was analyzed (the selection was made by experts), which are of interest for systematizing and correlating the concepts of human capital with the theory of technological structures. Through content analysis, a multi-axis map of the «human capital» perception formed from the middle of the 20th century to the present moment was constructed. Such technological arguments were developed and described as «trends affecting the market and the nature of labor» and «education», as technological changes provoke sharp changes in the labor market and requirements for human capital. Moreover, the factors of its genesis and accumulation are changing. As a result, a systematization of human capital concepts was also proposed based on the criteria for interconnection with a change in technological patterns. This study can serve as the basis for further research on human capital in the context of technological and world economic structures. As an option to deepen this direction, we can offer an analysis of existing concepts of human capital based on the criteria for the relationship of its development with structural changes in the global economy.

The aim of the study was to calculate the costs of lowering blood pressure (BP) in complex antihypertensive therapy of arterial hypertension (AH) with and without cholecalciferol. Material and methods. A total of 154 patients with grade II AH were included into the study. They were divided into the AH(+)Х group - those who received combined antihypertensive therapy plus cholecalciferol 2000 IU / day and the comparison group - AH(-)Х. Office BP and total vitamin D levels were measured. The costs of drug therapy were calculated. Results. On repeated examination, the level of vitamin D in the blood increased and in the AH(+)Х group it became higher (p = 0.0000001) than in the AH (-)Х group. The cost of drug therapy per person in the AH(+)Х group was higher than in the AH(-)Х group ($ 106.8 and $ 91.5, respectively), but the cost of reducing 1 mm Hg systolic BP in the AH(+)Х group was $ 3.9 less than in the AH(-)Х group.Conclusion. The economic costs of reducing systolic BP, with more frequent achievement of its target values, were the lowest in the complex therapy with cholecalciferol, especially in combination with a diuretic.

The long-term results of treatment were analyzed for 104 patients (72 men and 32 women) who underwent 120 minimally invasive surgical interventions for various stages of osteochondritis dissecans of the femoral condyles of the knee joint. According to the indications, 4 different types of arthroscopically assisted deep osteoperforations of the subchondral bone were used: anterograde tunneling, anterograde tunneling with penetration, transchondral tunneling and retrograde tunneling.The immediate treatment results were evaluated in all patients within 12 months after surgery; the long-term results were assessed in 98 (94.2%) individuals within 2 years and in 82 (78.8%) after 9 years. The analysis of the long-term results showed the high efficiency of the previously developed algorithm for the surgical treatment of patients with osteochondritis dissecans through the use of osteoperforations of the subchondral bone.
