On the Conflict of the End of History between Islamic Caliphate and Global Liberalism: From the Perspective of Thought and Public Opinion Leaders in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
Authors: M. AL-Tkhayneh Khawlah
Published: May 2019

This study aims to explore the opinions of thought and public opinion leaders in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, regarding the conflict of the end of history between Islamic caliphate and global liberalism. These two schools of thought were recently represented by the revolutions of the Arabic Spring in a number of Arab countries as well as the rising of political Islamic movements and the calls for overthrowing the so-called non-Islamic regimes. The uprisings of the Arab Spring started in Tunisia in 2011, calling for the return of the Islamic caliphate. To this end, the researcher conducted 9 interviews with a group of thought and public opinion leaders in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, a country which lies at the heart of the Arab Spring events. The researcher used a historical approach and analyzed the interviews using an analytical descriptive approach, calculating the frequencies in the participants’ responses. The results show that as far as the end of history is concerned, all interviewees agreed that there is a recent conflict between the model of Islamic caliphate, on the one hand, and the model of democratic liberalism represented by the dissertation of Francis Fukuyama, on the other. Since the conflict exists but relies on the interpretations of the concept of caliphate and the liberal perspective, there are some thinkers who believe that there is no contradiction between these two schools of thought. Their beliefs depend on the way by which each school of thought perceives its model, since there is no standardized Islamic model or standardized liberal model. Conversely, some thinkers believe that the conflict is Islamic-Islamic, rather than Islamic-liberal; thus, closing the door for diligence could be viewed as one reason for this internal conflict. Additionally, because variation rather than similarity is to be expected, conflict does follow. The participants also believe that the perception of caliphate is different from one political trend to another and is not within the religious sense of jihad among the armed political Islamic movements. Therefore, one of the most important recommendations suggested in this study relates to activating the role of the mosque and the church in society in a manner that surpasses the media which has the greatest effect on people’s values, while taking into consideration modernism in all the fields that may contribute to the interest of the society, the necessity of respecting people’s religious and ethnic backgrounds as well as national freedom. This is because plurality does not mean partition, rather it involves the enrichment of national unity, developing national culture, appreciating the efforts of people, rather than overlooking them, and finally exerting all efforts to make use of the experiences of others in all the domains that may benefit the interest of the society.

Published: May 2019

Background: A raised serum uric acid is recognized as an unfavourable fetal outcome of pre-eclampsia. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between hyperuricemia and fetal outcome in preeclamptic patients.

Methods: This observational study was carried out in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of BIRDEM General Hospital from July 2015 to June 2016. Fifty pre eclamptic pregnant women with hyperuricemia (group A) and 50 preeclamptic pregnant women with normal serum uric acid level (group B) were taken as study subjects. Data were analyzed by SPSS where p value less than 0.05 was considered significant.

Results: Mean age of the patients was 25.88 ± 4.52 years and 24.30 ± 5.09 years in group A and group B respectively. Mean serum uric acid level was 7.19±0.62 mg/dl in group A and 4.83±0.73 mg/dl in group B. Maximum (66%) patients were primigravida in group A and 34% in group B. In this study, intra-uterine death (IUD) occurred in 4 (8%) cases in group A and in 1 (2%) case in group B, intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR) was 20 (40%) cases in group A and 4 (8%) cases in group B, low birth weight was in 38 (76%) cases in group A and 21(42%) cases in group B. Occurrence of IUGR and low birth weight was significantly higher in group A than group B. APGAR score was significantly lower in group A (5.10±1.61) than that of group B (6.36±1.32). Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) referral was more in group A (60%) than group B (20%).

Conclusion: It can be concluded that hyperuricemia is a predictor of poor fetal outcome in pre-eclamptic women.

Human potential and human capital as the main factor of the country's economic potential development
Authors: Ткач Микола , Ковальська Марина
Published: May 2019

One of the main factors influencing the country's economic growth is human potential. The weak social policy of the state, namely, the perfection of the health care system, education, social protection of the population, employment, and the law-enforcement system, leads to negative consequences for the loss of the human potential of the country. In turn, this dynamics is characterized by irreversible losses of human potential as a result of illnesses and the emigration of able-bodied citizens abroad, the loss of "intellectual (intellectual) potential", the refusal of young people to give birth to children due to their low standard of living, and lack of confidence in the future.  Losing Ukraine's human potential may in turn slow down economic development in the middle of the country, to the loss of the traditionally high level of human potential of Ukraine and, by weakening the country's overall potential, to the risk of territorial claims of neighboring countries.

Authors: Голота Олена
Published: May 2019

The article analyses the setting and functioning of the system of defence procurement (acquisition) for the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defenсe (MoD of the UK) by analysis of guidance documents regulating the activities of MoD of the UK and the defence procurement (acquisition) system. With the help of the structural-functional method, a hierarchy of governing documents, key participants of the public procurement system (acquisition) for the needs of MoD, their functional interconnections, roles and functions are established. By using a systematic approach, were identified strengths and weaknesses of the mentioned system and established that the formation and functioning of the system of state procurement (acquisition) of military equipment or services is a complex process, which is substantially affected by financial and time constraints, strategic vision and priorities for the development of the industry. The main principles for the most effective organization and functioning of the UK defence procurement system (acquisition) are: application of procedural framework, definition of rules and responsibilities, availability of competition and professional approach to evaluation and verification. Possible ways of efficient use of these principles in modern practice of implementation of the system of state procurement for the needs of the Ministry of Defenсe of Ukraine are suggested in article. For instance, such as: it is considered appropriate to introduce a culture of cost awareness (costing culture), which finds its application in global practice. This will make the process of managing financial resources an integral part of the process of making management decisions on the procurement (acquisitions) of military equipment (weapons, equipment (systems)), etc.

Authors: Demenius Julius , Kreivytė Rasa
Published: May 2019

Background. Many industries use a variety of statistical models for a decision-making, but no industry relies
on analytical data as a professional sport (Davenport, 2014). Sports organization management and decision-making
have a direct relationship with the sports teams and this relationship is called a comprehensive statistical analysis
(Radovanović, Radojičić, Jeremić & Savić, 2013). Alamar (2013) argues that a detailed statistical analysis of the
game activities is an important aspect in order to more accurately assess the player’s market value.
Methods. The sample consisted of 30 respondents (10 managers, 10 coaches, 10 coach assistants) of the 10 men’s
basketball teams. Managers and coaches of Lithuanian Basketball League teams had to fill in online questionnaire,
the main focus of which was to identify their opinion about advanced data analytics. The questionnaire was designed
based on scientific studies (Alamar, 2013; Martinez & Martinez, 2011). Questionnaire scales were tested using SPSS
20.0 statistical analysis program.
Results. Statistical analysis showed that questionnaire reliability was average (Cronbach α = .549–.558). The
survey results showed that the teams of Lithuanian Basketball League there employ professionals whose main goal
is to analyse performance indicators, statistical data of opponents and new incoming players. Majority of managers
and coaches believe that new information technologies of advanced basketball data could help improve team
performance results and draw more attention to basketball from fans’ perspective. It was found that managers and
coaches thought that offensive strategy depends on the players of the team. Coaches and managers had a positive
approach to basketball analytics and believed that it had a bright future in basketball industry.
Conclusions. The correct use of limitless data would definitely help improve team performance and effectively
use their financial resources recruiting the most efficient players.

Authors: Ivaškienė Vida , Lileikienė Asta , Levulienė Gytė , Markevičius Vytautas
Published: May 2019

Background. As our society is subject to changes, knowledge about the learners’ attitudes towards a physical
education teacher, their behaviour and characteristics can help to more effectively address the problems of physical
education at school. The research hypothesis was raised in this article as follows: attitudes of 15–16-year-old pupils
with a sufficient activity level towards a physical education teacher and their behaviour will differ with respect to
gender: the male pupils’ approach will be more positive than that of female pupils. Research aim was to investigate
the attitudes of 15–16-year-old pupils with a sufficient activity level towards a physical education teacher and their
behaviour.
Methods. The survey was conducted during physical education classes in Kaunas secondary schools in spring,
2015. The questionnaire survey was carried out. Questionnaire data of 300 sufficiently physically active pupils (150
boys and 150 girls) were analysed.
Results. Both boys and girls indicated good knowledge of the subject, friendliness, communication with the
group, taking into account pupils’ opinions as the most appealing characteristics of the physical education teacher.
Both genders considered that the most unfavourable teacher characteristics were insisting on meeting physical
standards, non-involvement in physical activities together with pupils in the classroom and disregarding pupils’
needs and wishes. More girls than boys (p < .05) did not appreciate the teacher’s non-communication with pupils,
lack of dedication and making offensive comments.
Conclusions. Both boys and girls pointed out that the most appealing traits of the physical education teacher’s
characteristics were good knowledge of the subject, friendliness, communication with the group and taking into
account pupils’ opinions. Girls appeared to be more demanding to the physical education teacher’s behaviour than
boys.
MANAGEMENT OF AND POTENTIAL RETURN ON PRIVATE INVESTMENTS IN LATVIAN SPORTS
Authors: Lauva Mārtiņš , Grāvītis Uldis
Published: May 2019

Background. Latvian sports authorities under the Ministry of Education and Science are the main organisers of
the sports life in Latvia. However, they have not been successful in providing equally good support to all athletes
who need it. It is especially difficult to receive support for improving skills of individual athletes engaged in team
sports. Often it is the individual mastery of an athlete that prohibits them from moving on to the adult level of sports
of high achievement, even if the athlete was very talented and one of the best in the country when he/she was young.
Methods. The descriptive statistics method and content analysis were used to assess shortcomings in the
allocation of finances in the Latvian sports industry. Conclusions were drawn on the data collected, on the basis of
which a new method was developed in sports management, the efficiency of which was verified by performing an
experiment.
Results. After analysing the most popular sports among young people in the country, as well as the available
infrastructure, it may be suggested which sports are the most attractive for investors. It may be concluded that the
state is able to successfully solve this problem by attracting private investors who would be personally interested in
the development of athletes and also carry out successful investment management. The study demonstrated that a
successful process of private investments ensures a positive return on the investments, as well as the development
of athletes. One way to build successful cooperation is by creating high-quality sports development centres or sports
investment management companies which will efficiently contribute to athletes’ transition from youth to professional
sports. The efficiency of the methodology developed can be demonstrated by creating a company which would act
as an example for attracting private investments in the development of athletes.
Conclusion. The development of athletes would become more efficient and purposeful if sports could attract
potential investments with promising returns. This would create a tripartite cooperation among the state, athletes and
private investors, which would benefit each of the three cooperating parties. Additional funding in the development
of Latvian athletes would have a positive impact on the entire sports industry as a whole.
EFFECT OF ACUTE L-CARNITINE SUPPLEMENTATION ON BLOOD LACTATE, GLUCOSE, AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC PERFORMANCE IN ELITE MALE ARTISTIC GYMNASTS
Authors: Arazi Hamid , Mehrtash Mohammad
Published: May 2019

Background. Probably L-Carnitine can induce the increase of Pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, decrease of
lactic acid production and performance improvements due to the reinforcement of long chain fatty acid oxidation
and stabilize of coASH to free COA. Based on this, the aim of our study was to investigate the effects of acute
L-Carnitine supplementation on blood lactate, glucose, VO 2 max and anaerobic power in elite male artistic gymnasts.
Methods. Eighteen male artistic gymnasts were randomly assigned to supplementation (n = 9) or placebo
(n = 9) groups. In a double blind design, subjects participated in two tests with a break of one week between them.
Subjects ingested 3 grams of L-Carnitine or placebo (maltodextrin) 90 minutes before aerobic and anaerobic exercise
protocols. We used a 20 m shuttle run as an aerobic exercise protocol and running based anaerobic sprint test (RAST)
as an anaerobic exercise protocol. Blood samples were collected 5 minutes pre and 4 minutes post-tests for the
analysis of lactate and glucose.
Results. L-Carnitine group had significantly lower lactate concentration than placebo group after tests (p < .05).
L-Carnitine group had significantly higher blood glucose (p < .05) compared with placebo group, too. Also VO 2 max
as well as mean and maximum power in L-Carnitine group were significantly higher than those in placebo group
(p < .05).
Conclusions. These findings indicated that acute oral supplementation of L-Carnitine can probably induce
fatigue decrease and improvement of aerobic and anaerobic performance in elite male artistic gymnasts.

The construction Arabic dan Indonesian verbs within implication of learning Arabic language. The purpose of this study is to describe the process of formation of verbs Arabic and Indonesian, analyzing the difference between the two processes and outlines the implications of the differences in Arabic and Indonesian verb formation on Arabic learning. This research includes qualitative research. The data in this study are written data, whether published in articles, papers, books, and those contained in other writings related to the formation of verbs Arabic and Indonesian language and learning Arabic. The data collection methods used to refer to the technical note. The data collected in this study were analyzed using contrastive analysis. The results of this study describe the formation of Arabic verbs through internal modification and affixation, while the formation of verbs in the Indonesian language is done through affixation, reduplication and composition. The significant difference between the two is that the formation of verbs in Arabic is always related to time, quantity, and gender so as to reveal time, different numbers or genders are expressed grammatically through verb changes, whereas the formation of verbs in Indonesian is not related to time, and gender so as to reveal semantic concepts of time, quantity, and gender are lexically represented accompanying verbs to form verb phrases without altering their verb forms. The differences between them have implications for the Arabic learning process, namely the emergence of difficulties faced by Arabic learners.

Published: May 2019

The protection of the environment and people’s health from negative influences of the pollution of air as a medium of the environment requires constant observing of the air quality in accordance with international standards, the analysis of emission and imission of polluting matters in the air, and their connection with the sources of pollution. Having in mind the series of laws and delegated legislations which define the field of air pollution, it is necessary to closely observe these long-term processes, discovering cause-and-effect relationships between the activities of anthropogenic sources of emission of polluting matters and the level of air degradation. The relevant evaluation of the air quality of a certain area can be conducted if the level of concentration of polluting matters characteristic for the pollution sources of this area is observed in a longer period of time. The data obtained by the observation of the air pollution are the basis for creation of the recovery program of a certain area. Leskovac is a town in South Serbia where there is a bigger number of anthropogenic pollution sources that can significantly diminish the air quality. The cause-and-effect relationship of the anthropogenic sources of pollution is conducted related to the analysis of systematized data which are in the relevant data base of the authorized institution The Institute of Public Health, for the time period between the year of 2012. and 2017. By the analysis of data of imission concentrations of typical polluting matters, the dominant polluting matters were determined on the territory of the town of Leskovac, the ones that are the causers of the biggest air pollution and the risk for people’s health. Analysis of the concentration of soot, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides indicates their presence in the air of Leskovac town area in concentrations that do not exceed the permitted limit values annually. The greatest pollution is caused by the soot content in the air, especially in the winter period when the highest number of days with the values above the limit was registered. By perceiving the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors, it is clear that the concentration of polluting matters can be decreased only by establishing control over anthropogenic sources of pollution, and thus it can be contributed to the improvement of the air quality of this urban environment.

La práctica docente reflexiva debe asociarse con el desarrollo de una postura cuya finalidad es evitar que los docentes funjan como una especie de técnicos, cuya única función es la de transmitir una serie de conocimientos a los estudiantes, como si tuvieran que insertar un conjunto de datos que puedan reproducirse de memoria y ser utilizados para responder las pruebas que determinan el progreso académico. En este sentido, la práctica docente reflexiva se asociaría a una reacción en contra de los modelos tradicionales pedagógicos, en los cuales se establece una relación asimétrica entre el docente y los estudiantes, y en donde el docente transmite lo que otros quieren transmitir, es decir, aquellas convenciones, normas sociales y modos de pensar que son impuestos desde otras esferas, ajenas al proceso educativo.Se trata, por tanto, de devolverles la educación a los docentes, de entender que también tienen teorías y muchos conocimientos que aportar, los cuales se han generado a partir de sus experiencias y de la acumulación de sus conocimientos. Esto implica favorecer espacios de capacitación, reflexión y discusión, en los que los docentes puedan expresar sus opiniones en torno a los procesos educativos, con el fin de transformarlos de una manera significativa de acuerdo con lo que observan cotidianamente en las clases.

Esta norma incorpora nuevos conceptos y consideraciones para el reconocimiento de ingresos por prestación de servicios y venta de equipos que la NIC (Norma Internacional de Contabilidad) 18 no consideraba. Para poder evaluar la necesidad de diseño de un plan de implementación, se aplica la metodología de investigación mixta. Como resultado, se comprueba que es de suma importancia la implementación de un plan que garantice que la empresa de telefonía reconozca sus ingresos por prestación de servicios y venta de servicios de una manera adecuada conforme a la NIIF 15. Las conclusiones están enfocadas en la necesidad y la disposición que presentan los funcionarios y directivos de la entidad objeto de estudio ante la capacitación para la implementación de esta normativa.
Introduction. Pornography and prostitution in the patriarchal order
Authors: Cobo Bedia Rosa
Published: May 2019

Prostitution is the heart of an international business that has grown in recent decades in the context of economic globalization and closely linked to the criminal economy. The sex industry has developed at the intersection of three systems of power: the patriarchal, the neoliberal capitalist and the racial / cultural. These three dominations are at the origin of the violence that prostituted women receive. At the same time, prostitution reinforces another founding institution of patriarchal systems, hegemonic masculinity.
