The Basic Aspects in Building the Islamic Civilization and its Value


 
 
 
 Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and may blessings and peace be upon the one who was sent as a mercy to the worlds, our master Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, the master of the first and the last.
 The Islamic civilization occupies a high position among the greatest civilizations that have appeared in the history of mankind. it is regarded one of the longest-lived global civilizations and has a great impact on the world. This is achieved through the Islamic religion which was able to make a unity between the human races despite of their diversity. The Arab Muslims have promoted the Islamic human civilization that dominated the world and led it to a high level of prosperity, stability, and security. Muslims made great efforts in spite of the hard circumstances.
 
 
 
 
 Islamic civilization is able to serve humanity and invented everything that would provide a civilized service that elevates the human being everywhere. It also improves its conditions morally, materially, culturally, and spiritually. So it is considered as an immortal human civilization which is represented by the eternity of the divine message of Islam. However, inclusiveness is evident in the Islamic civilization. It includes all aspects of life like economic, political, social, and intellectual aspects. It also provides the human being with all spiritual, mental and physical requirements. Therefore, the characteristics of the Islamic civilization are of humanistic tendency that have universality represented by the power of the Islamic religion. Thus, through its experimental method, it is able to present a civilization that achieves security and justice for all the humanity. Writing about the Islamic civilization is of a great importance because it has a role in building a social solidarity and preserving its high values.

A full permutation polygon synthetic indicator (FPPSI) approach for measuring and evaluating city prosperity: case study in Da Nang City, Vietnam

Economic growth has dominated development strategies and goals for many years, but prosperity encompasses more than that. In 2013, UN-Habitat proposed the City Prosperity Initiative (CPI) as a tool to quantify cities' prosperity and sustainable development. The CPI is accompanied by six essential components with 62 indicators associated with the urban settlement, incorporating productivity, infrastructure development, quality of life, social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and urban governance and legislation. The research aims to use the indicators of CPI and adopted the Full Permutation Polygon Synthetic Indicator method to measure and evaluate the level of prosperity of Da Nang City of Vietnam with data from 2004 to 2019. According to the findings of our study, the value of a synthetic indicator for the prosperity of Da Nang City increased, from 0.34 in 2004 to 0.36 in 2009, 0.43 in 2014, and 0.45 in 2019, which indicates a moderate level of wealth. On the one hand, Da Nang City has high levels of quality of life, equity and social inclusion, and urban governance and legislation. However, the city still has modest determinants of prosperity in terms of the environment, productivity and infrastructure. The Full Permutation Polygon Synthetic Indicator technique provides a comprehensive solution that illustrates the system integration idea. As a result, the proposed methodology offers a potential foundation for decision-making to promote sustainable urban development strategies and assess the effectiveness of these actions

Common prosperity level evaluation: A comprehensive method based on probabilistic linguistic ordered weighted distance measure, prospect theory, and TOPSIS.

Common prosperity is a major research project in China, and the scientific measurement and evaluation of common prosperity is very important. In this study, firstly, we construct a comprehensive evaluation index system for the common prosperity level (CPL). We then develop an evaluation model of CPL based on prospect theory, probabilistic linguistic ordered weighted distance measure, and the TOPSIS method, wherein we use a probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) to describe the uncertainty and complexity of the assessment process. Above all, we use prospect theory to reflect the preferences of experts to meet the unique needs for the evaluation of common prosperity. Moreover, we apply the proposed evaluation index system and model to evaluate the CPL of Zhejiang Province, China's first common prosperity demonstration zone, as an example to conduct relevant research. The advantages and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by the sensitivity and comparative analysis. The findings prove that the application of the new PLTS evaluation framework in CPL assessment is robust. We propose specific suggestions for improving the development of common prosperity.

Path analysis and empirical test of medical service enhancement for common prosperity under government participation.

The level of medical services is the link between the two strategic goals of "healthy China" and "common prosperity," and government participation plays an important adjustment role in it, so it is of great theoretical and practical significance to study its inner logic. In this paper, we firstly analyze the mechanism of medical service level to promote the development of common prosperity and the role of government in it; secondly, we construct a panel dynamic regression model and a threshold regression model to verify the relationship between the three. It is found that the contribution of both equity and efficiency of health care services to the achievement of common wealth is non-linear, and the degree of government participation plays an important adjustment role, with single and double threshold effects between them and the level of common prosperity, respectively. In the process of participating in the medical service market, the government should clearly position itself, actively play the demand-led role of the market, encourage private capital to provide quality medical services, and purposefully optimize the financial expenditure structure according to the local actual situation. There are many ways in which the government can be involved in health care, and there will be differences between China and other countries around the world. These are all worthy of further discussion.

Measurement of Common Prosperity of Chinese Rural Households Using Graded Response Models: Evidence from Zhejiang Province

Common prosperity is an important feature of Chinese-style modernization. The difficulty and focus of promoting the construction of common prosperity in China lies in rural areas and rural households. How to evaluate the common prosperity of rural households is becoming an important research topic. Based on the perspective of meeting the people's needs for a better life, this study designed 14 items or indicators from the dimensions of affluence, commonality, and sustainability. The common prosperity of rural households is regarded as a potential structure. Based on the survey data of 615 rural households in Zhejiang Province, graded response models were used to estimate the discrimination and difficulty coefficient, and an indicator selection and characteristics analysis were carried out. The research results show that there are 13 items suitable for measuring the common prosperity of rural households, and these indicators have strong distinguishing ability. However, different dimension indicators have different functions. In particular, the affluence dimension, the sharing dimension, and the sustainability dimension are suitable for distinguishing families with a relatively high level of common prosperity, a medium level of common prosperity, and a low level of common prosperity, respectively. Based on this, we propose policy recommendations such as building diversified governance strategies, formulating differentiated governance policies, and supporting the corresponding basic policy reform.

What Can Ukraine Learn from Aufbau Ost?

Abstract This article uses Aufbau Ost (or reconstruction of the East) of the new German states as a structural model to estimate the possible costs of an Aufbau Ost 2.0 of Ukraine while taking institutional differences into account. Based on three approaches, the model is validated for the new German states – namely capital coefficients, actual investment flows and actual public transfers – and applied to Ukraine. Key indicators for Germany from 2021 are used as a basis. The economic goal for Ukraine set in this article is to reach Poland’s present level of prosperity in 15 years, which implies a growth rate of 9% per year. This will require a total of US $8.5 trillion over 15 years, which can, however, be financed to a considerable extent by endogenous, investment-driven economic growth if the institutional framework conditions are designed in a market-economy way, especially the taxation system. Transfers and capital imports must close a current account deficit of about US $200 billion per year.

REGIONAL DISPARITIES AS A RESULT OF DIFFERENCES IN HUMAN CAPITAL AND INNOVATIVENESS ON THE EXAMPLE OF POLAND

Inequalities in human capital most often affect other spheres of life. It is people who create innovation, so the unequal distribution of human capital and innovation in the regions leads to development disparities between regions. This, in turn, is a force inhibiting the achievement of higher levels of prosperity at the national level. The existing studies mainly focus on the assessment of disparities in development between countries. Although understandings of mechanisms of regional disparities, i.e., assessment of how and whether disparities are disappearing or widening under current socio-economic conditions is crucial to economic stability and cohesion, the problem of determinants of development and the pace of development between regions has rarely been studied in the economic literature. The purpose of the article, therefore, is to show how quickly weaker regions are catching up with more developed regions and that regional disparities are mainly the result of uneven human capital accumulation. The authors wonder if human capital in the regions is used similarly to create innovation. Hence, they examine the rate of development of these two relationships. The research: (1) determines the pace of development and adjustment processes by using the dynamic time warping method, (2) discovers if human capital is the main driver of regional disparities and is fully utilized in the creation of innovativeness.

Where the past meets the present: Upward mobility, environmental stimuli, and CEOs’ investment in corporate social responsibility

Does the experience of upward mobility impact top executives’ investment in socially conscious initiatives at the firm level? Despite early theorizing, much remains unknown about how top executives’ experiences with upward mobility impact their decisions related to corporate social responsibility (CSR). In this study, we focus on chief executive officers (CEOs) from lower social class origins, who represent the most extreme case of upward mobility among their peers, and examine the effects of their background on the likelihood of helping others. Drawing on upper echelons and social class literature, we theorize that top executives’ past—where they come from (i.e. social class origins) and what they have experienced on their climb to the top—influences CSR decisions. We argue that CEOs from lower social class origins develop simultaneous, but at times competing, habitus that influence them to invest more in community-centric but less in employee-centric CSR than their counterparts from middle and upper social class backgrounds. Drawing on trait activation theory, we also predict the moderating influence of the immediate environmental context, namely local levels of poverty and prosperity. Overall, our results support our hypotheses and provide a complex picture of how upward mobility, and its attendant tensions, can affect executive values and CSR.

The analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on wellness tourism

Wellness tourism, a new tourism mode that focuses on helping people maintain and condition their bodies while meeting the needs of travel and sightseeing, has grown rapidly and gained popularity in recent years. The outbreak of COVID-19 has dealt a major blow to the wellness tourism industry. This paper rationally analyzes the impact of COVID-19 on the wellness tourism industry from three aspects: tourism economy, tourists' willingness, and market recovery. The study finds that COVID-19 is probably a crucial stage to promote the development of wellness tourism. And the paper proposes strategies to cope with COVID-19 for government and enterprises respectively, such as strengthening economic policy encouragement and improving enterprises' own strength, and retains great confidence in the development of wellness tourism. Through the joint efforts of the whole society, wellness tourism can gradually thrive and eventually reach an unprecedented level of prosperity. This paper makes a systematic analysis of the blow of COVID-19, which helps the country and enterprises to make future planning to assist the recovery of wellness tourism, and has some practical significance.

The Prophets

The Prophets Fred W. Guyette, Christopher T. Begg, Richard A. Taylor, and Thomas Hieke 978. [The Suffering Servant in Isaiah 40–55] David Wyn Williams, Conversations with a Suffering Servant (London: T&T Clark, 2020). Pp. x + 219. $120. ISBN 978-0567676108. Who is the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 40–55? A Jewish "corporate" reading takes Israel to be the Suffering Servant, or perhaps "the nobler part of Israel." Traditional Christian readings see Jesus Christ as the Suffering Servant and promised Messiah. Franz Delitzsch proposed a "pyramid" model of the Suffering Servant in which Israel "after the flesh" forms the wide base, Israel "after the spirit" forms the middle part, and a single mediator of redemption stands at the pinnacle. Bernhard Duhm focused attention on a single figure, someone who was a "disciple of the prophets, a teacher of the Law, and a pastor of souls." Continuing this ongoing conversation, W.'s study seeks to understand the Suffering Servant with the help of Mikhail Bakhtin's dialogical model (see Bakhtin's "The Author and the Hero in Aesthetic Activity," in Art and Answerability [Austin: University of Texas Press, 1990]). W.'s chapters are titled respectively: What Scripture Says about the Suffering Servant; What Scholars Say about the Suffering Servant; The Servant as a Polyphonic Hero; What God Says to the Servant; What the Servant Says to God; What the Servant Says about Suffering; What the Nations Say about the Servant; and The Voice-Idea of the Suffering Servant. W.'s study raises important questions around our corporate and individual responses to suffering, offering insight into how the servant's prophetic characterization dismantled an exiled nation's ideologies of suffering and called the people to understand their plight as part of a redemptive story on behalf of the nations. The last seventy pages of the book consist of interviews and dialogues between W. and "Jared," a friend who was suffering from terminal cancer, in light of what Deutero-Isaiah says about suffering.—F.W.G. [End Page 352] 979. [Jeremiah] Walter Brueggemann, Returning from the Abyss: Pivotal Moments in the Book of Jeremiah (Louisville: Westminster John Knox, 2022). Pp. xix + 167. $18. ISBN 9780664266868. For some 40 years, Jeremiah tried to tell the people of Judah about God's approaching judgment. Jerusalem's leaders had come to enjoy a high level of prosperity, but to gain these economic advantages they had violated their covenant with God. Injustice and idolatry permeated their way of life. Still, the Lord allowed them time to repent: "If you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, the widow, or shed innocent blood, I will dwell with you here" (Jeremiah 7). But they refused to listen. Then Jeremiah delivered a message of warning from Yhwh: Some of you are destined to perish from pestilence, some by the sword, others by famine, and still others will go into captivity (Jer 15:2). Hananiah contradicted him, saying, "No, God has promised to protect Jerusalem forever!" (Jeremiah 28). But Jeremiah knew that Hananiah was a false prophet. There were several waves of deportation to Babylon, beginning in 598 b.c.e. The worst came in 587 b.c.e., after the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. This is the "abyss" referred to in B.'s title. While they were in exile, the children of Israel longed to return to the Promised Land. They even thought of fighting their way out so they could return to Jerusalem, but those dreams were unrealistic. Jeremiah wrote a letter to them: "Seek the peace of that city where you are now. The exile will be long" (Jeremiah 29). The New Covenant described in Jer 31:31-34 is a wonderful message of hope and call to trust in Yhwh's goodness. Yhwh would indeed bring his people out of the abyss of captivity, but only when the time was right. Babylon would fall eventually (Jer 51:64), though Jeremiah himself would not live to see it. Throughout this book, B. finds ways to apply the prophetic words of Jeremiah to America's public life in the twenty-first century. The book's chapters are designed for study and discussion...

АЛГОРИТМИ РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ БІЗНЕСУ ЗАДЛЯ ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ СОЦІАЛЬНО-ЕКОНОМІЧНОГО РОЗВИТКУ КРАЇНИ

Consideration of questions in relation to adjusting the business economic security in the conditions of martial law and post-war economic recovery proves is showed that a primary value is acquiring by development of practical instruments of adjusting of economic security for the renewal of socio-economic development of production in regions and country. A research aim by research are forming and realization of algorithms the adjusting of business economic security in the conditions of recovery the socio-economic development by the search of methods, facilities and acceptance of correct decisions fоr planning the instruments of connections in the external and internal environment of business development, optimal combinations with help of which will provided the increase of level the business economic activity and socio-economic renewal of country. The modern doctrines of strengthening of economic security of business and entrepreneurial activity became methodological basis of research. In the conducted researches used methods of dialectics, methods and principles of scientific cognition, instruments of economic analysis for forming of certain algorithms of adjusting of business economic security and determination of threshold indicators that determine the level of business strengthening and renewal the socio-economic state in a country. The basic hypothesis of research is supposition about the forming a such algorithm of economic security adjusting that will allow to get the sufficient margin of safety and accumulate necessary productive, financial, intellectual and other potential of business development for the sake of socio-economic renewal of country and its separate regions. Exposition of basic material of research. It is well-proven that adjusting of business economic security is a dynamic process that is orientated on the achievement of primary objectives of socio-economic development that can substantially differ from pre-war, war and post-war periods. It follows to consider the most primary aims: providing of certain level of population prosperity, pension system, social help, level of middle salary and decline of unemployment, forming of social infrastructure and threshold values of economic security indexes that signal about the periods of stability, revival and increase (to getting up) of socio-economic development. Depending on components, which are most influence on economic strength of business security, it is possible to form, determine and thresholds of economic security firmness in relation to the changes of these components in the external and internal environment of business and in the process of co-operation the different business entities. The reasonable threshold values of economic security indexes of business will allow in good time to find out positive or negative progress of entrepreneurial activity trends and accept correct decisions in relation to strengthening of business for the sake of renewal in socio-economic prosperity of population and country on the whole. Originality and practical meaningfulness of research are confirmed by the offered algorithm of adjusting the business economic security as a decision tree and set of threshold indexes that must be regulated, going out a necessity to keep a certain reserve of business durability, which related with those dangers and risks that arise up in the modern terms of socio-economic development of Ukraine economy. Conclusions and prospects of further researches. The conducted research allowed to establish that the algorithm of adjusting of economic security of business foresees creation of the so-called «decision tree», that it directionally on realization of strategic aim as creation of necessary terms for renewal the national economy of country, regions, business of different sectors and to provide firmness and socio-economic stability of territories development.

Further researches will be will be sent to development of travelling maps of adjusting of business economic security, coming from the different scenarios of renewal of socio-economic development of country.

Digital economy enables common prosperity: Analysis of mediating and moderating effects based on green finance and environmental pollution

This study aims to explore the impact of the digital economy on common prosperity. For this reason, a bidirectional fixed effect model based on panel data of 30 provinces (cities and autonomous regions) in China is empirically tested. The results show that the digital economy can significantly improve the level of common prosperity, and has a positive impact on green and sustainable economic activities such as promoting environmental improvement, coping with climate change and resource conservation and efficient utilization, which is still valid after a series of robustness tests. It also demonstrates the role of green finance as a partial intermediary in the process of shared prosperity and as a negative regulator of environmental pollution. Analysis of regional heterogeneity shows that the enabling effect of the digital economy on common prosperity is more significant in eastern and central provinces, but not significant in western provinces. The results of this study have some reference significance for some countries, where the gap between rich and poor has widened during the epidemic, to narrow the income gap and provide ideas for the parties that made commitments at the Glasgow Climate Summit (COP26) to curb warming and reduce CO2 emissions. That is, continuous improvement of digital infrastructure; emphasis on the intermediary role of green finance and the negative regulating role of local environmental pollution levels; following the relative comparative advantages of regions and formulating differentiated policies for the development of the digital economy, etc.

CAN GOOD GOVERNANCE IN MOSQUES INCREASE THE PROSPERITY OF MOSQUES IN THE 4.0 ERA?

This study aims to determine the understanding of the management of the Mosque Prosperity Council (DKM) about good governance that can be carried out in managing mosques so that they can increase the prosperity of the mosque. The variables that explain good governance consist of transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, and fairness. As for the level of mosque prosperity, it can be seen from the number of worshipers who come to worship at the mosque, the organization of religious activities and social activities as well as services for mosque congregations. The data used in this study are primary data obtained from interviews with the Mosque Prosperity Council (DKM) which then became the basis for research analysis using qualitative descriptive methods. The sample of this study is a mosque located in the area around the author's residence. The results of this study based on interviews explained that the DKM administrators agreed that by implementing good governance in managing the mosque, it could increase the prosperity of the mosque. Good governance makes mosques able to organize more religious activities and social activities for their congregations.

Research on the Influence of Digital Technology on the Development of Common Prosperity

In the past 30 years, digital technology has gradually established a decisive position in world production with its advantages of high precision, high storage capacity, and high versatility. Meanwhile, it has also become a new driving force for industrial revitalization in the process of China's pursuit of power transformation and shared development. Based on the panel data of 31 provinces and cities from 2013 to 2021, this study uses the entropy method and AHP method to construct the index system of the development level of common prosperity and the level of digital technology. Moreover, through regression analysis, it studies the action mechanism of digital technology on the development of common prosperity. At the same time, the 31 provinces are divided into four typical development regions by systematic clustering method. It is found that digital technology has a significant promoting effect on the development of common prosperity, and the influence has obvious regional and dimensional heterogeneity. Finally, relevant suggestions are given for the development of four typical regions.

Патриотическое воспитание студенческой молодежи в условиях динамики социальных изменений (на материалах Ярославской области)

The article analyzes the conditions of moral and patriotic education of students in the Yaroslavl region. The author conducted a sociological study among students of leading universities in the Yaroslavl region. The content and quality of 18 patriotic regional programs of the Central Federal District and the activities of federal and regional authorities for their implementation are analyzed. As part of the study, it was found that regardless of gender characteristics, the direction of education, the level of material well-being of the respondents, for most of them, patriotism is associated with pride in their country. Only a small part of students believe that in the context of globalization, patriotism is losing its relevance. It was revealed that more than half of the respondents consider themselves patriots. At the same time, the poorer the student’s family (his parents), the more such a student considers himself a patriot. In addition, young men, for the most part than girls, consider themselves patriots. It has been established that the higher the level of education of parents and the material well-being of the family, the higher the influence of parents on the formation of patriotic attitudes. The lower level of education of parents and the lower level of material well-being of the family, the higher the influence of the school on the formation of patriotic values and attitudes. Absolutely everyone who took part in the survey is proud of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The lower level of material well-being of the respondent’s family, the more he is proud of Russia’s position in the world community. Girls, to a greater extent than boys, believe that they, as citizens of the Russian Federation, can rightfully be proud of the country’s cultural heritage. The lower level of prosperity of the student’s family (his parents), that higher his desire to serve in the army. Students from less wealthy families perceive the army as one of the possible “elevators” of social mobility. Measures aimed at improving the efficiency of state policy in the field of patriotic education of youth are proposed.

Наслідки повномасштабної російсько-української війни для позиціонування Тримор’я в глобальній політиці

The article discusses the term “Three Seas Initiative” – a product of the adaptation of the philosophical and geographical category “Intermarium” to the description of Central-Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. The thesis is substantiated that the application of the category “Intermarium” to Central-Eastern and South-Eastern Europe is due not only to the “mental geography” of Polish political thought and the practical needs of Polish geopolitics of the 20th and 21st centuries but also to the objectively existing general characteristics of the region (its buffer status between geopolitical powers of Germany and Russia, the lower level of prosperity of this region compared to Western Europe, its predominantly Slavic character, which repeatedly pushes the implementation of pan-Slavist projects in the Central-Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, the trends in social, in particular, cultural, economic and political, which are observed at least since the late 1980s). It is argued that the project “Three Seas Initiative” by A. Duda is a modern reincarnation of the idea of the Prometheists – “Intermarium”, created between the two world wars on the basis of the Jagiellonian idea of the Early Modern Age. This project arose as an opposition of rightwing conservative, poorer EU members to its left-liberal, rich participants with external support from the Eurosceptic, right-wing populist government of D. Trump in the USA. However, the evolution of the Three Seas Initiative finally led it to institutionalization as one of the cores of integration in the modern European Union at different speeds, with an emphasis on the development of cross-border communication and infrastructure projects in the region with the cooperation of the EU and the USA. It is emphasized that after the start of the Russian- Ukrainian war, the threat of its spread to the territory of the “Three Seas Initiative”, which the EU cannot overcome, forces the members of the initiative to seek direct military support from the United States in exchange for Washington’s support in its opposition to Beijing, an ally of Moscow. “Three Seas Initiative” could be perceived as an activation of the role of the region as one of the outposts of opposition to Chinese influence on the planet. In addition, the Russian- Ukrainian war involuntarily led to the achievement of one of the goals of the Three Seas Initiative - the development of the logistics infrastructure of its participants, due to the need to serve large-scale land and air movements of troops and the functioning of “grain” and humanitarian corridors from the European Union to Ukraine. Also, a full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war caused the resuscitation and development of the military-industrial complex of the Three Seas Initiative countries, its integration within the region and the rest of the EU, as well as with Ukraine, the USA, and South Korea, which gives a chance for high-tech economic growth of the participants of the project.

Інвестиційні аспекти реалізації Плану Маршалла

The Marshall Plan, or the Recovery Program for Europe, was a successful and ambitious project of the United States of America to help Europe affected by World War II, which, thanks to US assistance, was able to restore and surpass the pre-war level of prosperity. The article is aimed at analyzing the investment aspects of implementation of the Marshall Plan. The article reveals the features of the Marshall Plan (history, goals, coordination, and differences from other assistance programs) and considers the investment aspects of its implementation in the annual context. Attention is mainly focused on production, agriculture and their dynamism and efficiency, as well as labor productivity. The attempt of the OEEC to study the possibilities of coordinating investments in Europe is analyzed. The role of auxiliary partner funds in local currency in the development of investment projects is disclosed. Some features of European trade and the European Payment Union are considered. The influence of the force majeure factor – the war in Korea – on reorientation of the Marshall Plan’s objectives from economic recovery to defense is disclosed. The deliberate, rational and large-scale investments helped Europe devastated by World War II to restore its prosperity and achieve prosperity. Thanks to investments, it was possible to significantly increase European production. However, the investments were used as efficiently as possible only in combination with other factors, such as: an established entrepreneurial culture, stable legislation and protection of investors’ rights, productivity growth and the use of advanced technologies in production. Studying the experience of implementing the Marshall Plan is useful given that Ukraine has also suffered significant damage as a result of russia’s military actions and will require huge efforts to restore the economy together with large-scale investments.

Investigating the Mediating Role of Social Capital in the Influence of Job Satisfaction on Subjective Well-Being among Librarians in Java Island, Indonesia

Subjective well-being (SWB) has become one of the indicators that can describe the level of prosperity or well-being of the population in real terms. In the professional context, high levels of SWB are associated with higher life satisfaction, better productivity, and better performance, especially in the helping profession. This study aims to analyze the level of SWB, job satisfaction, and social capital of librarians in Java Island, Indonesia, and analyze the mediating role of social capital in the influence of job satisfaction on the level of SWB of librarians. A quantitative approach was used with a sample of 345 librarians spread across six provinces in Java Island, Indonesia. Mediation analysis using the bootstrapping method in PROCESS v4.2 for SPSS application was used to identify direct, indirect, and total effects. The results showed that the levels of SWB, job satisfaction, and social capital of librarians in Java Island were mostly in the “Moderate” category. It was also found that there is a partial mediating role of social capital in the influence of job satisfaction on the level of SWB of librarians with direct effect coefficient β=0.5936, indirect effect β=0.1975, and total effect β=0.7912 which are all significant. The partial mediation role shows that social capital only partially mediates the effect of job satisfaction on the level of SWB of librarians. Interventions can be made by optimizing aspects of social capital that still have minimal contribution such as network ownership or librarian membership in professional organizations. In addition, librarian professional organizations must proactively advocate for their members regarding the challenges they face, including increasing the benefits obtained when a librarian joins them.

Risk management as a factor of adaptation of tourism and hotel business enterprises to crisis conditions

Introduction. The analysis of the situation in the field of development of the tourism industry allows us to conclude that the most acute problem that enterprise managers often face is the uncertainty and variability of the external environment and its threats, especially in the context of crisis phenomena. Both the level of prosperity of enterprises and the development of tourism in the country as a whole depend on the solution of this problem. Despite a significant number of publications devoted to the issue of risks, the specifics of the development of a risk management program in the tourism industry in the system of enterprise management strategy, as well as the issue of the methodology of their diagnosis and means of their minimization, have not been adequately covered in the literature. The purpose of the article is to study the specifics of risk management as a factor in the strategy of adaptation in the context of crisis phenomena and to develop recommendations for improving the tools of risk management at enterprises of the tourism industry. The method (methodology) of research includes a number of general scientific research methods, namely: the method of theoretical generalization, the abstract-logical method, and the method of grouping; the expert method and the integral calculation method were used in the implementation of empirical research. The results. As a result of the conducted research, elements of scientific novelty were obtained, which are as follows: a list of the main threats in the activities of tourism and hotel business enterprises was formed by spheres of occurrence, taking into account the factor of physical danger that exists during military operations; the risk management system is presented in a general form, which contributes to the prevention, identification and minimization of risks in the enterprise, and is a sequence of interconnected blocks; it is substantiated that one of the main elements in the risk management system is the block of risk diagnostics; the expediency of using expert risk diagnostics for tourism industry enterprises has been proven; an expert diagnosis of the risks of the tourist enterprise was carried out, which includes the assessment of individual criteria and the calculation of an integrated risk assessment. Taking into account the above, it is proposed to develop a risk management program using the specified toolkit with elements of its adaptation to today's crisis conditions in Ukrainian realities, for more effective monitoring of the results of the program implementation, it is proposed to divide it into two stages: preliminary selection of risks and final formation of the risk management program. Given the relevance and complexity of the problem, further in-depth research is needed to find means of early prediction and prevention of risks in order to minimize their negative impact on the financial results and market position of tourism industry enterprises. It is the reduction of the threat of risks to the operation of the enterprise that will contribute to the sustainability of the development of the tourism industry in general.

Analysis of The Countries According to The Prosperity Level with Data Mining

Data mining (DM) includes techniques for finding meaningful information hidden in these massive data stacks. The aim of this study is to divide the countries into groups according to their prosperity levels with Cluster Analysis (CA), which is one of the DM techniques, and to show the applicability of the method. In this context, the 2019 data of 167 countries within the 12 prosperity indicators in The Legatum Prosperity Index (LPI) were used. In the study, countries were divided into groups with the Ward’s algorithm and the similarities between the countries were determined with the K-Means and Turkey's place in the groups was determined. The results show that countries are divided into three clusters according to their prosperity levels. The most effective indicators in dividing them into clusters are "market access and infrastructure, education, investment environment", and the least effective indicators are "social capital, natural environment, safety and security". It has been determined that Turkey is located in the middle prosperity level cluster and its "health, living conditions, education" indicators are the highest, while its "natural environment, personal freedom, management" indicators are the lowest.
