BINARY OPPOSITION «RICH-POOR» IN KAZAKH AND ENGLISH LINGUACULTURES

In this study, binary oppositions are referred to be mechanisms for producing cultural notions that are indicated by lexical antonyms and represent both the Kazakh and English population's worldview and the language's conception of the universe. On the basis of an analysis of the materials and important cultural concepts from both countries, a sampling of binary oppositions was created. The findings of the comparative study allowed for the definition of key components of Kazakh and English ethnic cultures,which serve as basic components in the self-identification of both countries and aid in the reconstruction of their worldview. The purpose of this work is to identify the features of the national expression of the concepts of wealth and poverty in the Kazakh and English languages. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were set: 1.study of the concept of "proverbs" in the system of Linguistics, their role in creating a linguistic picture of the world. 2.selection, analysis and comparison of Kazakh and English proverbs and sayings. 3.identification of general and various features of the concepts of wealth and poverty in national characteristics, identification of the main features in the values and ideals of the Kazakh and English peoples in relationto these concepts.Research methods depend on the goals and objectives of the work. The work required the use of methods of sampling, comparison and descriptive analysis. The theoretical significance of the work is to identify the features of the national expression of the concepts of wealth and poverty in the Kazakh and English languages within the framework of the theory of cognitive linguistics. The practical significance of the work is that the results of the study can be used in teaching English in courses such as lexicology, phraseology, comparative typology, cognitive linguistics.

Nigeria: Hungry Nation in a Land of Plenty

Hunger is a pressing global concern. The prevalence of undernourishment, a crucial measure of hunger, is a global challenge. Many factors are responsible including poverty, political instability, economic disparities, climate change, and conflicts. The global nature of hunger underscores the urgency and collective responsibility to address this issue, demanding immediate action from all of us. Often heralded as a land of vast agricultural potential and rich natural and human resources, Nigeria faces a paradoxical struggle with pervasive hunger and food insecurity. This article explores Nigeria’s multifaceted hunger crisis despite its capacity to be a leading food producer in Africa. We examine the socio-economic and political dynamics that contribute to this disparity, including issues such as land distribution inequities and the impact of oil dependency. Additionally, the article analyses the role of government policies and infrastructure deficits. The goal of this work is to 1) analyse the concept of national wealth and its implications for economic development, 2) investigate the factors contributing to hunger and food insecurity in Nigeria despite its abundant resources, 3) provide insights and recommendations for addressing the country’s wealth inequality and hunger challenges, and 4) contribute to the academic understanding of the complex relationship between wealth, poverty, and development in nations.

Wealth/Poverty Opposition in English and Kazakh: A Comparative Study

This research employs linguistic concept modeling to scrutinize the semantic variations between notions of wealth and poverty in English and Kazakh, aiming to discern their contrasting characteristics. The corpora in English and Kazakh encompassing varied genres, styles, and thematic content were examined through word frequency and co-occurrence to elucidate divergent contextual frames for the terms in both languages, unveiling cultural nuances and cognitive associations. The results indicate that in English, wealth is majorly associated with financial prosperity, real estate ownership, and the availability of resources for a comfortable lifestyle. Conversely, in Kazakh-language writings, the concept of wealth extends to encompass elements like family connections and devotion to the homeland, reflecting cultural priorities and lifestyles. A comparable distinction is evident when examining the contextual usage of the term poverty. The findings underscore the significance of exploring linguistic concepts within distinct cultural and cognitive frameworks, opening avenues for further comparative linguistic research.

Contemporary College Students' Cognitive Situation and Exploration in Green Wealth View---A Case Study of Zhejiang Yuexiu University

With the escalation of global environmental issues, college students, as the leading figures of the new era, play a crucial role in understanding and practicing the Green wealth view.This paper aims to explore college students' awareness of the green wealth view and analyze their roles and responsibilities in promoting the harmonious coexistence between environmental sustainability and economic prosperity. Firstly, the discussions on the green wealth view in the article are deficient,and that are mainly focus on ecological environment and resource conservation. Subsequently, through methods such as questionnaire surveys, inductive analysis, and literature research, the paper investigates college students' cognitive development regarding the green wealth view. It is found that college students have a serious lack in cognizing the concept of green wealth nowadays.Finally, the article summarizes the roles and responsibilities of college students in practicing the green wealth view, emphasizing the importance and urgency of nurturing college students with the right green wealth view. Faced with the challenges of global environmental issues, college students should embrace the mission entrusted by the times, actively participate in the creation and sharing of green wealth, and contribute to building an environmentally friendly society.

ISLAMIC ECONOMIC REVIEW OF CONSUMPTION: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW APPROACH

This research analyzes consumption studies from an Islamic economic perspective and a literature review perspective. The research method uses a qualitative type with a systematic literature review approach. The research results obtained from this literature review found that consumption is human nature to maintain life and is a very vital part of economic activity for human life. Islamic consumption theory limits consumption based on the concept of wealth and various types of consumption by Sharia principles for sustainability and the welfare of the ummah. Rapid economic growth and technological developments are causing changes in people’s consumption patterns. The main difference in consumption patterns in Islamic and conventional economics lies in the intention and approach to meeting life’s needs. Intentions and consumption methods to meet needs are critical in the Islamic economic system. Islamic economics does not place materialism as a guide to human life. Islam does not recognize the principle of materialism as conventional economics places consumption in the perspective of mere worldly satisfaction.

Literature Review and Theoretical Generalizations of the Ethics Role in Business and Management: Family Business as a Case Study

The article contains the results of the analysis of the world’s scientific achievements and theoretical generalizations regarding the functions of ethics in business organizations, the range of its application in management, and its role and place in ensuring the effectiveness of the company’s economic activity. This study considers ethics not as an obstacle to business development that requires additional resources but as a relationship based on trust and cooperation that determines the firm’s strategy and competitive advantages. The article summarizes approaches to integrating ethics into management practice and considers the taxonomy of management ethics in organizations. Using the example of a family business, the article identifies general mechanisms for reconciling ethical principles and economic efficiency of a company so that care about ethical responsibility has a favorable impact on fulfilling the main mission – making a profit. The ethical practices of family and non-family businesses are compared. Although family businesses do not always have a formal code of ethics, they are more likely to model ethical behaviour through their actions; family values and their transmission from generation to generation play a significant role in shaping ethical practices in this business; family businesses become more involved in social activities and feel responsible to the community; their image and reputation are an absolute priority. Based on the theory of legitimacy, the article examines the concept of socio-emotional wealth using the example of the family business, which includes values related to emotions and non-financial aspects of business that meet the emotional needs of the family (identity, ability to influence the family and perpetuate the family dynasty). The article considers ethics an integral element of a company’s social capital. It summarizes the approaches and stages of ethical policy formation, through which ethical standards are specified and implemented through formal and informal rules and procedures established by individuals and organizations. While forming an ethical policy, it is important to start from the components of the company’s context (culture, values, internal regulations), choose a business model that is consistent with values and ethical principles, and formalize the procedures for the transition from individual ethical behaviour of managers (loyalty, honesty, ethics, fidelity) to the creation of collective ethics (dissemination of these values within the company). The article provides recommendations for the successful integration of ethical policy: coordination between ethics and corporate image, between ethics and company performance, and coordination of mechanisms for formalizing ethics and corporate culture.

Philosophy of Ownership in an Islamic Perspective: Between Wealth and Islamic Obligations

This article deepens the understanding of the concept of ownership in Islam, with an emphasis on its philosophical aspects. Through qualitative research methods and literature review, this article reveals the fundamental differences between the Islamic perspective on ownership and socialist and capitalist economies. In Islam, ownership must adhere to Sharia principles and be considered halal, with three distinct types of ownership: individual, communal, and state. Furthermore, Islam plays a significant role in regulating the distribution of income and wealth to achieve the well-being of humanity, emphasizing the principle of maslahah (beneficence) as the cornerstone of Islamic economics. Islam's role in addressing economic inequality is crucial, emphasizing fair distribution. Additionally, Islam teaches the social responsibility of individuals and communities in helping those in need and promoting social justice. This research provides a profound understanding of the concepts of ownership, wealth, and social responsibility in Islam, highlighting Islam's contribution to addressing economic and social challenges in society.

The Janus-Faced Family SMEs: Family Management and Digitalization

Are family small and medium enterprises (SMEs) more likely to embrace digitalization? While previous research presents conflicting findings regarding the impact of family management in the digital era, our study investigates this question by examining the influence of family management on digitalization. Building on the concepts of restricted and extended socioemotional wealth (SEW), we propose that family management impedes ability of digitalization due to dysfunctional conservatism while encouraging willingness of digitalization due to a long-term orientation. We argue that family management exhibits an inverted U-shaped relationship with digitalization, with moderate levels being most conducive to digitalization. Data from Chinese-listed family SMEs supports our argument. Moreover, we demonstrate that male successors amplify this inverted U-shaped relationship by intensifying the effects of both restricted and extended SEW. Our study expands the understanding of the family's role in digitalization and provides new insights into the diverse effects of family structure on digitalization.

ANALISIS PERILAKU KONSUMTIF MAHASISWA DALAM PERSPEKTIF EKONOMI ISLAM

Consumption is inseparable from the rules and requirements set by Islamic teachings. However, in consuming, we must behave according to the standards and ethics of consumption in the Islamic economy. Therefore, in the order of life, Islam has regulated how humans can carry out activities that can be consumed so that they are beneficial to their lives. To achieve this goal, an understanding of Muslim consumer behavior is needed. In this case, Yusuf Al-Qardhawi explains how to consume, rules and correct behavior according to the recommendations of the Qur'an and Sunnah and how to apply them in life in an Islamic economic perspective. In consuming, Jambi City students must follow Yusuf Al-Qardhawi's consumer standards and ethics. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative. The data in this study were obtained from primary data and secondary data. With data collection techniques, namely interviews, observation and documentation. The results of this study indicate several things that happen to students who drink liquor in the city of Jambi, namely: 1) Spending wealth for good and staying away from miserliness can be interpreted as using assets owned for self-interest as well as a way to worship Allah SWT. Jambi City students have not fully implemented the concept of spending wealth properly and avoiding extravagance or israf. 2) Islam prohibits excessive consumption of wealth for useful and not excessive purposes (waste/israf). 3) Modesty in spending wealth can be seen from the attitude between miserly and miserly, excessive behavior and attitudes in between, including the attitude of luxury. This implementation should be in everyone.

Family Firms and Employee Pension Underfunding: Good Corporate Citizens or Unethical Opportunists?

This study draws upon the behavioral agency model and the concept of socioemotional wealth to investigate how family firms’ employee pension underfunding decisions differ from those of non-family firms. We explore how these differences are influenced by financial distress, generational stage, and whether the firm is eponymous. We test our hypotheses using data from 452 US firms over an eleven-year period. Our results suggest that family firms are less likely to underfund pensions, but this effect is attenuated in later generational ownership stages and in non-eponymous firms.

Protection of Intellectual Property Rights in the Perspective of Islamic Law

This article analyses the protection of intellectual property rights from the perspective of Islamic law. This article examines intellectual property rights by analyzing the concepts of wealth, rights, and ownership in Islamic law. This study employs a normative research method. The approach utilized in this research includes statutory and conceptual approaches. The data used in this study encompassed secondary data derived from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The research findings reveal that most scholars categorize intellectual property rights as a form of wealth, thereby subjecting it to similar treatment and legal consequences as other forms of wealth. Intellectual property rights constitute movable wealth, are permissible for utilization, lack a standardized market unit, and maintain their value even when exploited. Consequently, intellectual property can be transacted for profit and safeguarded by assessing its value when compensating for any loss. When acquired or discovered through means that adhere to Islamic law, intellectual property becomes a permissible right to possess. However, the ownership of these intellectual property rights under Islamic law remains constrained by Sharia principles.

Boardroom gender diversity and risk-taking in the insurance industry: do organizational form and ownership structure matter?

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the relationship between boardroom gender diversity (BoGD) and risk-taking by property-liability (P-L) stock insurers from an analytical framework that control for organizational form and ownership structure. It relies on the behavioral agency model, the resource dependency theory and the concept of socioemotional wealth (SEW).Design/methodology/approachThis study builds on an unbalanced panel of 2,285 firm-year observations from 232 European and US P-L stock insurers covering the period 2010–2019 and measure risk-taking by using four proxies: total risk (TR), upside risk (UpR), downside risk (DwR) and default risk (DR). Reverse causality and endogeneity concerns are treated by applying different approaches.FindingsFindings suggest that BoGD mitigates the TR, DwR and DR but does not interfere with the UpR, which conceptualizes firm expectations to enhance patrimony and safeguard SEW for heirs, especially in family-owned insurers. The findings hold in various robustness checks including endogeneity and alternative specifications of BoGD and risk-taking.Practical implicationsThis study contributes to practice by contrasting the role of female directors’ bevahior when assuming risk, which seems significantly different depending on the risk-taking specification and the organizational form. The author advises policyholders and policymakers to look at closely on BoGD and ownership structure as they affect insurance company risk-taking.Originality/valueThis study takes a more direct approach to highlight the BoGD’s effect on corporate risk-taking by focusing on the insurance sector which is characterized by risk and uncertainty bearing. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to consider the full range of the stock organizational forms and the degree of family control in displaying this effect in both widely traded and closely traded insurers and to assess risk-taking from both market-based and accounting-based aspects.

Wealth in the Perspectives of the Quran

Wealth is a matter of great urgency in human life, and it is not surprising that everyone needs it. Many people are even preoccupied with accumulating wealth without caring whether it is rightfully obtained or not. The Quran itself, as the guidance for Muslims, extensively discusses the concept of wealth. Therefore, this article aims to uncover the Quran's perspective on the essence of wealth, its acquisition, and its utilization by examining and analyzing the writings of Quranic scholars through a qualitative descriptive approach. The expected outcome is to enhance our comprehensive understanding of wealth and enable us to implement it correctly and responsibly in real life. In general, wealth in the Quranic view is inherently linked to two aspects: a gift and trust from Allah that should be appreciated, and a trial that must be approached with caution. This is because wealth not only has the potential to positively impact the owner's future (afterlife), but can also have negative consequences. Hence, it requires high knowledge and awareness regarding its acquisition and utilization.

Exploring Zakatable Wealth from Classical and Contemporary Scholars Perspectives

Nowadays, there are many collective ijtihad by various internationally recognized Islamic organizations as well as individual fatwas of leading contemporary Muslim jurists have been undertaking the process of identifying modern wealth that are compulsory to be zakatable. This is because nowadays, there are many economic activities that are capable of generating higher profit returns and many of them are seen probably higher than those of the traditional zakatable sources. This paper attempts to study the conditions and foundations of zakatability of wealth classically and contemporarily which are made subject to zakat based on the Islamic legal theories and scholars’ perspectives. Then, it explores both classical and contemporary zakatable wealth. To fulfill the objectives, this study will use a qualitative approach with data collection methods documentation. It involves library research to get information from various sources like books, journals, papers work and others and then analyzing them by using inductive and deductive (istiqrai’i) approach. The study found that there are several conditions made by the classical and contemporary jurists on wealth before it is made to be subject to zakat. They have also come out with various approaches like analogy (qiyas), growth (nama’), richness (ghina’) and historical success factor in identifying the basis (dawabit) of zakatable wealth. The findings of this research show that based on ijtihad and fiqhi resolutions of the jurists, zakat accommodates contemporary changes in the concept of wealth and gives opportunity in exploring the expansion of the other zakatable wealth resources in the form of modern assets. As such due to changes of time, these foundations of zakatability will continue to be implemented due to its suitability and significance with the demands of the needs of the Ummah

ANALISIS KAFA’AH PERSPEKTIF UNDANG-UNDANG DI INDONESIA SYIRIA DAN FIKIH KONVENSIONAL

One of the orders for people who want to get married in Islam is to pay attention to the equality of positions between husband and wife (kafaah). Equality is also called balance, which means complementing one another, so as to create harmony between husband and wife. This equality includes education, material, and religion. If this is lame, then there is a fear of being arbitrary and assuming the partner is one-sided. For this reason, some Muslim countries are very concerned about kafa'ah, including Indonesia and Syria. Indonesia, for example, in the Compilation of Islamic Law, kafa'ah is regulated in Chapter X concerning the prevention of marriage. The article states that not being in confederation cannot be used as a reason to prevent marriage, except for not being confederation because of religion or ikhtilafud din. This means that laws in Indonesia do not strictly regulate kafa'ah for physical or material matters. Kafa'ah becomes a big problem and can even be canceled when one partner has a different religion. As for Kafa'ah in Syria, it is regulated in a separate sub-chapter in The Syrian Code of Personal Status in 1953. Kafa'ah is regulated in the 4th part of the 2nd chapter, articles 26-32. The rules regarding kafa'ah read: Kafa'ah between husband and wife is a must in the Syrian state. Kafaa'ah is again regulated in Law No. 34 of 1975 which is a renewal of the previous Law. In this law kafa'ah is regulated in a certain chapter as well, namely part 4 of chapter 2, Articles 52-56. This law says that: in marriage, it is required that there be kafa'ah between the bride and groom, if it is not fulfilled then one of the parties can apply for an annulment of the marriage. Conventional fiqh as a legal reference says that, for example Hanafiah's opinion, the criteria for kafa'ah are lineage, Islam, profession, self-independence and wealth. The criteria for kafa'ah according to Hanafiah tend to be the same as those of Hanbali, except that independence is added. The wealth referred to by the Hanafi school is the ability to pay a dowry and maintenance. Besides the concept of wealth, there is also the concept of character which is the object of kafa'ah. The Hanafi school of thought only considers that character is not an absolute object of kafa'ah. If the prospective husband really shows wickedness, then this becomes a benchmark for kafa'ah in marriage. ¬Asy-Syafi'i¬ argues that the criteria for kafa'ah are nationality or lineage, quality of religion, self-independence and business or profession. ¬Asy-Syafi'i¬ added the criteria for a prospective husband, namely not having a disability.

‘They burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why’

In this article we connect critical librarianship and its practices of information literacy (IL) with working-class experiences of higher education (HE). Although the research literature and professional body of knowledge of critical information literacy (CIL), is one of the most theoretically-developed areas of wider critical librarianship (Critlib) movement, working-class knowledge and experiences remain underrepresented. One reason for this is that the values, behaviour and assumptions of library and HE workers are shaped by a HE system which inculcates middle-class values and cultural capitals within students, and stigmatises working-class students as lacking or in deficit. Hegemonic, or non-critical, IL proselytises middle-class values and assumptions about academic practices and skills development including the notion of an ideal student with behaviour and markers of identity which reflect those most privileged by wider society. In contrast CIL, framed as the socially-just practice of IL is theoretically well-placed to support working-class library workers in destabilising this alongside middle-class accomplices. Employing Yosso’s (2005) concept of community and cultural wealth (CCW), we analyse how library workers can recognise working-class cultural wealth within the context of CIL and wider working practices. As such narrative accounts are lacking in the literature, we utilise collaborative autoethnography (CAE) (Chang et al., 2013) to consider and interpret our own experiences of libraries when we were university students ourselves, and more recently as HE workers of working-class heritage.

Ang Kalusugan at Kayamanan: The Health and Wealth of Hawai'i Filipinos.

Many Filipinos suffer from high rates of chronic diseases, while systemic and cultural barriers make it challenging for them to access care. Culturally relevant programs that integrate community perspectives and values are essential to improve Filipino health. To understand how health may be improved using self-identified community strengths and assets, researchers partnered with Filipino residents of the Kalihi neighborhood in Honolulu, Hawai'i. Researchers conducted a focused ethnographic study in spring 2016 with 52 adult residents of Kalihi to document Filipino perspectives on the overlapping concepts of health and wealth. Specifically, facilitators led culture circles, resulting in semi-structured discussions of community wellness. Participants shared perspectives of Filipino community health and wealth, resulting in 2 categories-self and relationships, 14 thematic codes and 7 definition components. These components informed the development of a new holistic health framework. The proposed framework may inform the development of more effective health programs rooted in extant community assets. This study sought to empower Filipino residents by acknowledging their views on wellness and prosperity that may not be reflected in conventional health care models. Further research is needed to deepen the understanding of the complex cultural relationships between health and wealth in communities of color.

National Wealth as an Economic Category

National wealth is one of the most general economic categories and an integral indicator for assessing and comparing the economic potential and capabilities of different countries. The calculation of such important macroeconomic quantities is based on the system of national accounts. In the economic literature, the term wealth refers to the sum of certain elements. In the economic literature, the term "wealth" refers to the sum of certain elements. In this sense, "wealth" is the object of economic science and statistical research. Country, nation, people, social wealth - these categories emerged with the formation of economic science. The first mention of the category "national wealth" in foreign literature is associated with the works of the classical economist W. Petty. In his search for the source of wealth, the author quantified the economic events of his time. In 1664 the scholar calculated the national wealth of England. Two concepts have emerged: national wealth is regarded as a certain fund held by a country in a certain period of time, or as recurrent income, a certain flow of products processed and used by the state, of the country over a certain period of time. The second concept dominated 19th century science. In our view, the definition of national wealth as a certain flow over a certain period of time is more characteristic of the concept of national income or gross product. For a scientifically sound and legitimate characterization of the concept of national wealth it is necessary to combine these two approaches. Only from the middle of the 20th century onwards. National wealth is identified with the accumulated stock of tangible and intangible assets. All elements of national wealth have a material composition, i.e. represent the material wealth of society. But on the wave of scientific and technological progress, information played a big role, in the mid-twentieth century the economy transformed from industrial to neo-industrial, and intangible elements were included in national wealth: human capital and information. If we compare countries by the level of national wealth, it is known that natural resources prevail in the structure of national wealth of low-income countries, and human potential prevails in high-income ones. In order to achieve a certain level of socio-economic well-being, most researchers believe that forms of international division of labor and organization are necessary to enable less developed countries to change the proportions of national wealth. and increase the proportion of human potential. Keywords: Wealth, national wealth, national wealth as an economic category.

We are a family, not a charity – How do family and business logics shape environmental sustainability strategies? A cross-sectional qualitative study

Researchers assume that either family or business logic dominate the development of environmental sustainability strategies in family firms. The purpose of this paper is to scrutinize this assumption by conducting a cross-sectional qualitative study based on 29 in-depth interviews with family members and C-level managers of eight large German family firms. Additional focus groups validated our results. Using the dominant logic perspective of institutional theory and the concept of socioemotional wealth, we analyzed the interplay of family and business logic and their influence on forming an environmental sustainability strategy. The results indicate that a business logic dominates the environmental sustainability strategy process while the family logic reenforces this dominant logic. We present our empirical findings in a model that shows how and why the family logic (socioemotional wealth) shapes the dominating business logic by adding its unique flavor at various stages. This study proposes not two conflicting logics (family vs. business), but a new emerging logic: the family business logic. Our study opens new ways to understand the strategy formation processes in family firms.
