Abstract
Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are attractive for the easy operation and high compatibility with building integrated photovoltaics due to their low cost, large-scale and applicability. However, underutilized sunlight in visible wavelengths often impedes the advance of LSCs. Here, we demonstrate an orange-emitting carbon nanodots-based LSC (O-CDs) with excitation concentrated in the visible wavelengths. The orange-emitting carbon nanodots (O-CDs) with highly localized excitonic emission are prepared via atomic condensation of doped pyrrolic nitrogen, delivering a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 80 % and a suitable Stokes shift with absorption spectrum situated in the visible region. The O-CDs are embedded in polyvinylpyrrolidone to obtain a highly transparent, stable and environmentally friendly O-CDs-based LSC. Thanks to efficient utilization of solar radiation in visible areas and well match between the emission of O-CDs and the response bands of photovoltaic cells, the O-CDs-based LSC reveals an optical conversion efficiency of 5.17 %, superior to that of most carbon nanodots-based LSCs. These results provide an effective strategy to develop carbon-based luminescent concentrated materials for architectural integrated photovoltaic technology.
A View to a Kilt – The Late Bronze Age Aegean Costume in the Context of Social and Cultural Changes
Authors: Franković Filip 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The connection between the Late Bronze Age (LBA) Aegean costumes and social, cultural and political changes is a rather unexplored topic. Probably the only exception are kilts, the connection of which to such changes on Crete during the 15th century BCE remains a commonly discussed topic in studies focusing on the LBA Aegean iconography and other data sets. However, many questions remain open and the topic is far from exhausted. In this paper I build on the work of various scholars who have studied LBA Aegean kilts in the context of social, political and cultural changes. I diachronically study the changes in the representations of kilts since the beginning of the LBA in the Aegean until the end of the Palatial period on the Greek Mainland (ca. 1700/1600–1200 BCE). Moreover, I examine the spatial distribution of specific kilt types in different periods. In cases of several different kilt types appearing in contemporary contexts in the same region, I explore whether similar costumes might have had different social connotations within the same communities. Moreover, I examine the influence of elite power structures and socio-political changes on the perception of kilts. However, I do not observe kilts as passive reflections of specific social, cultural and political contexts, but rather as material forms actively used in the creation of social realities.

Published: October 2023

Aquaporins 4 and 5 are proteins that form water channels in the cell membrane, participate in the transfer and migration of immune cells, being expressed on many cell types including CNS astrocytes, kidney cells, lungs, and the immune system. We have previously shown that AQP5 genetic polymorphism is associated with different outcomes of abdominal sepsis. Since another common aquaporin protein, AQP4, is also expressed on the surface of immunocompetent cells, determining cell motility, it was suggested that AQP4 may also be important in the pathogenesis of sepsis, and that AQP4 polymorphism may predetermine sepsis severity and outcome. AQP4 rs1058427 genetic polymorphism has not been studied earlier. The aim of the study was to determine the effects of region 3` polymorphism in the AQP4 gene on the clinical course and outcome of sepsis.Materials and methods. The prospective study included 290 ICU patients from three clinical hospitals in Moscow aged 18–75 years with clinical signs of sepsis (SEPSIS-3, 2016).Results. It was found that the minor T allele of the AQP4 rs1058427 gene provides strong protection against septic shock, as among GG genotype carriers septic shock developed in 66%, but in presence of the minor T allele dropped to half of cases (P=0.009, Fisher’s exact test, OR=1.99, 95% CI: 1.12–3.55, N=290). There was a significant association between AQP4 rs1058427 genetic polymorphism and 30-day hospital mortality in a subgroup of patients with more severe organ dysfunction and higher comorbidity burden (cardiovascular diseases, type II diabetes mellitus) requiring extracorporeal treatment modalities and ventilator support for 5 or more days (N=66). Carriers of the minor T allele showed better survival rates as compared AQP4 rs1058427 GG genotype carriers (5 deaths out of 10 and 47 deaths out of 56, respectively, P=0.003, Fisher’s exact test, N=66, OR=5.22, 95% CI: 1.25–21.82, P=0.009, log-rank criterion).Conclusion. The minor AQP4 rs1058427 T allele is associated with protection against septic shock and better survival in sepsis in a group of ICU patients with high comorbidity burden requiring extracorporeal life support interventions.
Antecedents of Intention to Use Ride-Sharing Platform
Authors: Tjokrosaputro Miharni 
Published: October 2023

The Ride-Sharing Platform (RSP) implementation in Indonesia has been emerging recently. The use of this platform is increasing significantly year by year. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the attitudes and intentions of RSP users in Indonesia. This research discussed the role of customers in service innovation and the relationship between Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease-of-Use, Word-of-Mouth (WOM), and Intention to Use RSP from the perspective of TAM and TPB. This research used 208 data originating from 219 samples acquired through questionnaire distribution. The obtained data were then analyzed using the SmartPLS Program. This research shows that Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease-of-Use, and word of mouth positively affect the Intention to Use RSP mediated by Customer Attitude toward Service Innovation. This research could contribute to the RSP industry and those who want to join RSP as one of the service providers. This study contributes considerably to the breadth and rigor of the RSP literature from the perspectives of TAM and TPB.JEL Classification: M31, M37, L92

Authors: Amri Andi , Widyastuti Tri , Bahri Syamsul , Ramdani Zulmi 
Published: October 2023

Only a few studies have examined the use of comprehensive variables in determining financial management behavior, though the model involves many other variables. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the locus of control as a mediator variable in the effect of financial attitude and knowledge, income, and spiritual intelligence on financial management behavior. It used a quantitative descriptive method and involved 391 respondents determined through convenience sampling. The results showed that financial attitude and spiritual intelligence significantly impact financial management behavior through locus of control. Whereas in the other two variables, namely financial knowledge, and income, the role of the mediator does not function effectively, so it does not have an indirect effect. These findings have implications for individuals to practice financial readiness in daily financial life. The information obtained also strengthens the role of self-control in financial management.JEL Classification: G40, G41

Published: October 2023

Halal food and consumer behaviour are hot issues in scholarly publications. However, research exploring the factors determining consumer decisions by the exploratory study is still rare. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the factors that determine Indonesian Muslims' purchasing of halal food. We focused on halal food Muslim consumers and 140 questionnaires were distributed. Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used for data analysis. The findings showed that three main factors determine Muslim purchase decisions for halal food: halal awareness, religiosity, and the safety & quality of halal food. A novel model of halal food consumer behaviour that implies the application of Halalan-tayyibah in Islamic teachings, namely the integration of halalness with product safety and quality. The study also implies that business players must pay attention to halal aspects in all business processes, from manufacturing to marketing, for the halal food value chain to be fully fulfilled.JEL Classification: M21, M31, Z12

Authors: Paul Sujan Chandra , Rupa Israt Jahan , Saha Mallika , Hossain Md. Abir 
Published: October 2023

In Asian countries, the relationship between gender inequality and foreign direct investment (FDI) is a sensitive topic. Due to labor market limits and the advantageous effect of women's empowerment, gender inequality is thought to have a detrimental impact on economic development and FDI. This study aims to look into the influence of gender disparity on FDI inflows to Asian countries. Our data includes 43 Asian nations and spans the years 1990 to 2018. We discover that reduced tertiary-level education and health gaps play a decisive role in FDI inflow into Asian countries using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The findings are crucial to devising policies to minimize the gap in gender equality and promote FDI.JEL Classification: J01, J10

Authors: Urdianti Desi , Qamari Ika Nurul , Hasan Wan Hasmat Wan 
Published: October 2023

Ethnic restaurants are currently a fascinating topic, as they promote specific ethnic cultures and provide customers with a chance to try something new and different. Ethnic restaurants often offer flavours that are truly representative of a certain culture. This research investigates the factors that influence customer perceived value in Japanese ethnic restaurants. Data were collected through an online survey completed by customers who had visited a Japanese ethnic restaurant, Marugame Udon, in Indonesia. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was applied to test the hypotheses. The findings of this study demonstrate that food quality, employee service quality, and price fairness positively affect customers’ perceived value. In contrast, the dining atmospheric quality and restaurant authenticity do not affect customers' perceived value. Studies on customer perceived value in ethnic Japanese restaurants are still incredibly rare in the literature., especially in Indonesia and Malaysia. Thus, this study aims to fill that gap, providing valuable insights for future research and restaurant management.JEL Classification: M10, M11, M21
Millennial’s Decision on the Use of Online Halal Marketplace in Indonesia
Authors: Aisyah Muniaty 
Published: October 2023

This study aims to analyze the Millennials' behavior influence on their decision to use an online halal marketplace in Indonesia, which is mediated by their perception as an intervening variable. A probability sampling technique with convenience sampling was used to calculate 100 from 125 collected primary data sets. The SEM-PLS statistical technique was used to analyze the relationships among variables. The findings showed that only technology adoption, opinions, broader activities, and Millennials’ perception influenced their decisions to use the online Halal marketplace, while success & status, personal health, and brand value & reward did not. Millennials’ perception is not an intervening variable for all indirect effects. It implies that Millennials consider online Halal marketplace has not been addressed to reserve the Muslim concerns, and their decision to use it did not necessarily derive from religious reasons. Online Halal marketplaces must combine more suitable marketing strategies to increase customer engagement with the Islamic brand by consistently delivering reliable Halal products and services to meet Millennials' needs while penetrating this segment.JEL Classification: M31, M37, L92

Authors: Martínez Hernández Daniela Patricia 
Published: October 2023

La presente investigación surge del planteamiento transdisciplinar de lectura de realidad, donde se encontró que los rasgos referidos a autonomía, emocionalidad y autoconciencia resultan indispensables en la formación de países de Asia y Europa. Sin embargo, surgió la interrogante ¿Cómo se promueven y conciben en la realidad de nuestro país para ser implementados?
Dicha pregunta llevó a cuestionar al respecto a siete docentes de una Normal de Guanajuato, titulares de algún curso donde se encontró que existe una tendencia discursiva disminuida hacia su promoción. Se emprendió una investigación referida al estudio de caso y una entrevista aplicada a 10 estudiantes de la misma licenciatura y cinco profesores asesores metodológicos para triangular información y dar respuesta a la pregunta de investigación planteada ¿Cuáles son las concepciones y experiencias de formación en torno a los rasgos del sujeto referidos a la emocionalidad, autonomía y autoconciencia?
Se encontró que existe una docencia emergente que determina las concepciones y experiencias y que factor sumergido los discursos y significatividad de las experiencias, además, que las concepciones están permeadas por posicionamientos teóricos que representan experiencias dialógicas en la significatividad del docente y del alumno, complejizadas por el nivel y función para la que se forma.
Some Remarks on the Latest Binding of the Siya Gospel and the Origin of the Miniature “The Adoration of the Magi”
Authors: Stolyarova Lyubovj 
Published: October 2023

The paper is concerned with the latest binding of the Siya Gospel of 1339 which was renovated in the 18th century. Having been extracted from the Siya Gospel, fol. 0 with the miniature “The Adoration of the Magi” could have been primarily cut to fit in a smaller codex, or to be put into the Siya Gospel without sewing or gluing. It cannot be excluded that the leaf was cut for a usage as a flyleaf in a certain codex. In the middle of 18th century the Siya Gospel obtained its present binding, for which a leaf of parchment with Empress Elisabeth’smonogram was used. It is argued that the leaf could originate from discarded materials of the Heraldmaster Office which, from the 1750s, was actively occupied with the issue of diplomas granting coats of arms and titles to nobles.

Authors: Kashtanov Sergey 
Published: October 2023

The paper is dedicated to certain Obryuta, son of Mikhail, Grekov, who was sent in 1551 by Ivan the Terrible to Constantinople to study Greek language and writing. Obryuta returned to Russia in 1560, and he is not mentioned in the sources any more. The author analyzes the data concerning Obryuta and comes to the conclusion that Obryuta was in fact Fedor, son of Mikhail, Laskirev. The author follows the activity of Fedor in connection with ecclesiastical and international politics of the epoch. He studies the lawsuit in which Fedor was a participant, and argues that Fedor was one of the compilers of the surviving “Greek” Book of Embassies No. 1.
Frontiers in th Fate of the Ottoman Empire
Authors: Abidulin Alim 
Published: October 2023

The article examines the role of border territories in the fate of the Ottoman Empire. The study of the frontier of the Ottoman Empire is relevant, as it makes it possible to realize the development of the empire throughout its existence. Special attention is paid to the consideration of the main phases of changing the boundaries of the empire. The authors identify four main phases and describe each of them. The authors carefully consider the second phase of changing the borders of the Ottoman Empire, which peaked in the first half and the middle of the sixteenth century, when the borders of the empire reached their maximum size and territories with twenty-five million people were under the control of the Ottomans. The authors indicate the reasons why there was both an increase and a decrease in the Ottoman frontiers. In addition, the article describes the types of provincial government that differed, with the constant change of borders. The authors describe the degrees of autonomy granted to the various provinces, as well as the ways in which taxes and duties were collected, which differed in different parts of the empire. The conclusion drawn in this article is that throughout its existence, the Ottoman frontiers were constantly changing, which was associated with certain factors, such as: changing the key goals of the sultans, the degree of training of troops, the use of the results of technological progress, the situation in the international arena.
Contemporary English-Language Historiography of the Decolonization of Trucial Oman
Authors: Adrianov Artem 
Published: October 2023

The article provides an overview of papers published after 2000 that examine various aspects of the decolonization process in Trucial Oman. The author identifies three schools of historical research that study these issues: the first so called “British” school explores the reasons why the British government decided on decolonization in January 1968; the second so called “Middle Eastern” school examines the main problems faced by the process of decolonization; the third so called “American” school studies the connection of the decolonization process with the regional system of international relations and global Cold War confrontation. Declassification of British documents dealing with the decolonization process in the Persian Gulf the early 2000s allowed historians to make many important discoveries and significantly improve our understanding of how the UAE were formed.
Statutes in English Monastic Cartularies
Authors: Anisimova Anna 
Published: October 2023

Medieval English monastic houses were used to compile collections of various texts important for them for some reason. There are a number of such cartularies and registers, mostly dated to the 13—15th centuries. Their contents were usually concerned with proving of ownership rights of a religious house (writs, property deeds, rentals, etc.). However, there are copies of some legislative monuments. The content analysis of such compilations allows us to determine which legislative texts were of more importance to the monastic authorities and in which context there was need to right them down. The research is based on the materials of Benedictine Canterbury Cathedral priory, as compared with compilations of some English religious houses. Legislative documents are characteristic for the cartularies of later 13th — early 14th centuries. They are usually set in a separate unit, and their repetition could indicate the authority of these texts. The most frequently reproduced legal text is that of the Magna Carta, which is often accompanied by statutes of Edward I. Thus, the preference is given to the acts contemporary to the compilation. In the Canterbury priory’s collection, these cartularies are connected with Prior Henry Eastry. The comparison with other monastic collections demonstrates that the attention to the legislation was perhaps more pronounced in Canterbury priory than in other religious houses. As a whole, monastic interest in legislative documents was quite sporadic, and it is problematic to deduce their selection logic.
