With its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the United Nations (UN) developed 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a "blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet." This initiative raises the question: how has the Journal of Consumer Research (JCR) shed light on the SDGs? This research analyzes 50 years of consumer research through the lens of the SDG and makes four contributions. First, the authors provide a content analysis of articles in JCR and how it relates to the SDGs over time; they also analyze the Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) and Journal of Public Policy & Marketing (JPP&M) with regard to the SDGs. Second, this research reveals where JCR has made progress and achieved impact (via Altmetric) but also identifies gaps in the literature. Thus, the analyses shed light on what research in JCR , JCP , and JPP&M understands (and does not understand) about consumer behavior and points the way to future SDG-oriented research. Finally, based on insights from interviews with thought leaders, sociology of science, UN data dashboards, and an exploratory survey in three countries (the U.S. France, and Singapore), the authors provide recommendations on how the field can (better) incorporate the SDGs in research, teaching, and service.

The current results of adaptation of the forestry complex of the Komi Republic to unfavorable foreign economic conditions in 2022–2023 are analyzed. The dynamics of resource efficiency of enterprises, changes in the product line, and parameters of the main investment projects of previous years are shown. Based on a survey of enterprise managers, the impact of sanctions on their activities and ways to mitigate it are revealed. A scenario forecast has been made for changes in the efficiency of wood use in the region's forestry complex for the period up to 2030. In the short term, predominantly negative consequences of sanctions are noted: loss of foreign markets, rise in price of financial resources, problems with the supply of imported components. The main strategy of activity in the coming years is a reorientation "from West to East" without significant changes in economic policy. However, in relation to the long term, we should think about revising the economic paradigm, about the transition from purely market mechanisms and interests to a more social, human-oriented pattern.

This study investigated the impact of the people category of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on sustainable and conventional economic growth in Asia and the Pacific region, using a sample of 52 selected countries between 2000 and 2023. Employing two distinct models, model A1 for conventional economic growth and model A2 for sustainable economic growth, we explained the relationships between five SDG indicators: employed poverty rate, stunted children, expenditure on health, expenditure of education, and % of women MNAs on economic growth. This study employed a fixed-effect model and random-effect model to investigate the impact of the people category SDGs on traditional and sustainable economic growth. The comparative analysis of each SDG in both models revealed valuable insights. SDG 1, "employed poverty rate", has a positive impact on economic growth in both models, while SDG 2, "percentage of stunted child", did not significantly influence economic growth in either model. Moreover, SDG 3 and SDG 4, relating to "government's health expenditure per capita" and "government's Education education expenditure per capita", respectively, exhibited a positive impact on traditional and sustainable economic growth. Conversely, SDG 5, "percentage of women members of national parliament", displayed an insignificant impact on traditional and sustainable economic growth models. In conclusion, this study suggests that policymakers should prioritize targeted interventions to alleviate employed poverty, enhance healthcare, and boost education spending. Moreover, promoting women's representation in national parliaments should be approached with context-specific strategies to maximize its impact on economic growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In modern times, when short-term survival appears to be a granted thing for humans, our focus has been on making progress riding on waves of science, technology, and our never-ending quest for being better and superior. In this race, we are losing sight of the critical need for capabilities, means, and ends to be sustainable. In a global society, achieving inclusive and sustainable growth can be made possible by focusing on the key pillars of--people, culture, and mindset. People through their actions, the culture of sustainability by binding us together in this journey, and a mindset that brings focus on keeping sustainability at the center of every thought, idea, and perspective that gets developed and brought into action, can directly impact sustainability. This paper attempts to examine the role that the suggested framework with dimensions--people, culture, and mindset can play in achieving inclusive and sustainable growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is a review of the book by V.V. Zverev Essays on the Intellectual Heritage of Ya.V. Abramov (Moscow: RUDN University Press, 2024. 157 p.). Although, as the author argues, an extensive and fundamental book on the life and work of Yakov Vasilyevich Abramov (1858-1906), a remarkable Russian publicist and ideologist of the moderate populist movement, has not yet been written, the monograph under review is a valuable, historically and sociologically sound and thorough work about the creator of the so-called “Abramovshchina”, or, according to the more traditional scientific-publicist discourse, the “theory of those small deeds” that “make up the lives of millions” (P. 28).

Google Classroom has been frequently used as an e-learning platform to substitute for Learning Management System (LMS), and the use of its features (Classwork, Stream, People, etc.) varies among teachers with different goals, focuses, and familiarity. However, research has not addressed how the selection of Google Classroom features affects students learning experience. Therefore, this study was aimed at finding out how Google Classroom features should be used to better facilitate online learning among students in English as a foreign language (EFL) classes. The data for this research was collected from ten leading schools in Indonesia, and 373 students participated in this study. Two questionnaires were used and delivered online, i.e. a Google Classroom Use questionnaire with Google Classroom features, consisting of 23 items, and a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) questionnaire specified for EFL, consisting of 21 items with four constructs, i.e. usefulness, ease of use, intention, and actual system of use. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression model to determine the effect of each Google Classroom feature on students' perception of TAM indicators. The hypotheses were rejected at the significance level of 0.05. The research results show that there is a correlation between both variables. The results also show that Classwork and Stream features were significant predictors for almost all TAM indicators. In this case, Classwork feature covers learning activities, and Stream feature includes interaction or communication facilities. Based on these results, it can be suggested that e-learning needs to facilitate students learning activities (e.g., quizzes, assignments, materials, and schedules) and student interaction/communication (e.g., announcements, notices, discussions, and shared posts). The results of this study contribute to educators and e-learning developers to consider maximizing the use and design of learning activity and interaction features due to their significance in online learning.

The vibrant commercial landscape of Durban Central, South Africa, is greatly influenced by the dynamic contributions of small retail businesses. Beyond their economic impact, small businesses also generate employment opportunities. However, despite their significance, small businesses are often hindered by obstacles to achieving and maintaining sustainable performance. To overcome these obstacles, it is essential to comprehend the influence of different factors on their performance. This study aims to evaluate the impact of process efficiency, people (human factor) and physical evidence (3 selected Ps) on the performance of small retail businesses. Existing research highlights the significance of these 3 selected Ps in propelling the success of small businesses, with a focus on streamlining operations, motivated staff and creating aesthetically pleasing storefronts. A quantitative approach was implemented in this study. This involved the distribution of self-completed surveys of a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire ranging from “strongly agree to strongly disagree”. 190 out of 217 small retail business owners in Durban Central completed the survey, resulting in a response rate of 87.56%. Quantitative data was analysed using the SPSS version 29. Pearson’s Chi square was used to test the formulated hypotheses. The findings showed that small retail business owner/managers hold a strong belief that there is a positive influence between the 3 selected Ps and business performance. This underlines the significance of investing in a favourable physical environment, streamlining internal processes and prioritising employee development and involvement to improve business performance. However, it is worth noting that while many businesses reported positive outcomes, there were also varying perceptions of performance among small retail businesses, indicating that external factors may also play a role in their success. It is recommended that small businesses invest in creating a friendly physical space, streamlining internal processes and providing thorough employee training and engagement.

In the lands of Western Azerbaijan, every stone and rock says, "I am the ancient Oghuz tribe, the Turkic homeland." There are Turkish traces both above and below the ground. The Armenians who falsified the above ground are trying to erase these traces from below the ground as well. Armenians, the spoils of history, completely destroyed the old face of the city of Iravan and hid it underground. They demolished the Gantar market in the Azerbaijani city of Yerevan and built a children's park in its place. Now, the personal belongings belonging to the Khan of Iravan, as well as the material and spiritual evidence of Azerbaijan's heritage found here during the excavation, made it difficult for the authors of Armenian lies, so they make up tales with a thousand lies and bury the truth under the ground again. They are destroying the history and culture underground. These vandals have not only erased their traces on the historical and ethnic lands of Azerbaijanis, but also carried out genocide against their toponyms. They changed the names of 703 settlements where Azerbaijanis used to live and made them Armenian. Presenting themselves to the world as an "ancient nation", a "civilized nation", Armenians in reality show a real "example" of barbarism and vandalism against the cultural heritage of Azerbaijanis, and they present themselves as "the first nation to accept Christianity" so that Christian countries support them. The strange thing is that the place names they changed still consist of Turkish words. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pope Francis is not a philosopher, the proposals of his magisterium are not ethical, but moral; but he deepens them from a sincerely intellectual selfawareness, in such a way that intuitions of philosophical ethics can be found in them. Bergoglio’s ethical insights form a prism whose vertices are: evangelical eudaemonism; a realism foreign to legalisms; an understanding of the moral subject configured in the dialogical-fraternal transcendence with the other; open in the contemplative gaze to the natural; who finds in the mercy with which he suffers the actual dimension of his life and his truth. His faith and the historical situations he has faced have been the catalysts for his moral reflection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this article is to analyze the role of the people in Polybius’s political thought, as presented in Book VI of his Histories. We argue the hypothesis that, according to the Greek author, there is no politics without the people, a conception that remains embodied both in the Polybian cycle of singular regimes and in the proposed model of the Roman mixed constitution. The emergence of what distinguishes what is properly human coincides with the emergence of the conditions of possibility of politics. With these two processes, the multitude transforms into the people. To support these ideas, we must engage with three prevalent readings in the field of critical examination, whose developments go in the opposite direction to the one we propose here: that, due to its aristocratic trait, Polybius assigned a secondary place to the people in his political theory; that anacyclosis holds an exclusive relationship of contrast with the Roman composite regime; and that the theory of the Greek author should be analyzed exclusively in light of historical truth. We present divergent interpretations of these in order to assume the necessary intermediary hypotheses for the grounding of the central argument of the work. The structure of the text involves five parts, in this order: introduction with preliminary presentation of the central hypothesis and the questions that problematize it; theoretical centrality and structure of Book VI; analysis of the cycle of singular regimes; examination of the Roman mixed constitution with emphasis on the role of the people; and response to the questions raised with a view to a grounded reaffirmation of the main hypothesis.

This study aims to analyze the influence of product, price, place, promotion, people, process and physical evidence on general patient satisfaction in the inpatient unit of Elim Rantepao Hospital, North Toraja Regency. The population of this study is 15,798 general patients, of which 375 were taken as samples. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant influence of the dimensions of Product, Price, Place, Promotion, People, Process, and Physical Evidence on General Patient Satisfaction in the Inpatient Unit of the hospital. The analysis also showed that the 7P Marketing Mix variable of the people dimension had the most influence on patient satisfaction at the hospital with an Exp value (3,395). The chi square p-value test of 0.747 0.05 was used to test the significance value of the dimension of Place on the overall satisfaction of general patients. This study is expected to provide benefits and can provide input from hospitals to improve the quality of hospital services and marketing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Emotional intelligence has its roots in social intelligence, in which it is valued as the ability or capacity to understand, measure and manage not only our own emotions, but also the emotions of others. Emotional intelligence is characterized by the ability to understand, manage, facilitate and regulate emotions. These skills help the individual to regulate emotions and use them to motivate, plan and achieve life goals. This paper deals with the topic of emotional intelligence in the workplace. The goal is to connect the emotional intelligence of the person with the work, namely the place where he is employed. Emotional intelligence is very important for work, because discovering and understanding the feelings of employees can improve their performance at work. There are arguments for and against using emotional intelligence at work. Emotions and emotional intelligence are described using the description method. Different forms of emotional intelligence are counted using the classification method and emotions are divided into two main groups and different subgroups. By using the compilation method, some information was obtained from other authors about emotions, emotional intelligence and its relation to work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, the attention paid to the metaverse in the scientific world has increased; the hottest topics include system architecture and enabling technologies, as well as business, privacy, ethical, and security issues. On the other side, at the mainstream level, it is well known that the company Meta (formerly Facebook) is striving to realize its interpretation of a "social" metaverse. As Meta is a big leader of social media, it is reasonable to guess that, in the future, users will participate in a new social platform, such as that which the company is building by depicting unlimited and engaging opportunities. Regardless of Meta, we ask what the opinion of people is about this possible future scenario. A literature search of previous works about this topic has been done; the few results we found were not properly on topic and showed heterogeneous content. A survey on interpretations of the metaverse of major information and communication technologies (ICT) companies that impact the consumer world was undertaken; the results show that Meta is the most prominent company with the mission of building a "social" metaverse worldwide. Finally, a draft of a tool for assessing the predilection of people for a "social" metaverse, based on various facets of the future social platform, is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research aims to study the genetic cloning objectively. It is found, through what is mentioned in the Holy Quran, that people is unable to create, as challenged by the Almighty Creator, glory is to Him. In fact, cloning is not creation, but rather a kind of changing Allah’s creation, but it is forbidden. Cloning is a process in which a genetically identical copy of a cell, tissue or living organism is produced from genetic material. This happens naturally in organisms such as bacteria, insects, or plants, where reproduction happens without mating. The newly created copy is termed as a “clone”. The Scottish sheep “Dolly” is considered the most famous example. Cloning also refers to the process of applying a nuclear transfer technique to somatic cells. The research comes to the following findings: 1) Cloning is not considered creation; creation and creativity belong to Almighty Allah alone. 2) Admitting the falsehood of the suspicion of the creation. 3. Genetic cloning is viewed as a part of Allah’s creation and is considered to make significant risks across various aspects, thus doing it is religiously prohibited. Research methodology: a definitional approach and an inductive analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the African cultural context and beyond, personal names are not just unique forms of identifying and individuating their bearers; they also provide relevant windows that resonate with the people's worldviews, values, and cosmology. From a socio-onomastic perspective, this article examines the representation of people and their description in the Ibibio cultural namescape, which is a source of their traditional epistemology. Personal names are symbolic linguistic resources that contain information about the Ibibio universe of meaning, where people are placed at the centre of every social relationship. Drawing on ethnographic data sourced through participant observation and semi-structured interviews with 30 participants who were name-givers, name-bearers and name-users, this study reveals that the Ibibio naming tradition provides a medium for the dissemination of its traditional cultural scripts, which capture community solidarity, support, security and a sense of belonging. This article concludes that the Ibibio anthroponymic culture reflects people as sources of empowerment. People provide the foundation for understanding the past and a path for reaching one's life goals. This study offers significant entry points into the way the Ibibio act and react to the strength of its community and reinforces the belief that for the Ibibio, people-related regime of names is an important resource used to foster a positive sense of community and well-being.

Purpose: We studied the relationship between job engagement and systematic problem solving (SPS) among shop-floor employees and how lean production (LP) and Internet of Things (IoT) systems moderate this relationship. Design/methodology/approach: We collected data from a sample of 440 shop floor workers in 101 manufacturing work units across 33 plants. Because our data is nested, we employed a series of multilevel regression models to test the hypotheses. The application of IoT systems within work units was evaluated by our research team through direct observations from on-site visits. Findings: Our findings indicate a positive association between job engagement and SPS. Additionally, we found that the adoption of lean bundles positively moderates this relationship, while, surprisingly, the adoption of IoT systems negatively moderates this relationship. Interestingly, we found that, when the adoption of IoT systems is complemented by a lean management system, workers tend to experience a higher effect on the SPS of their engagement. Research limitations/implications: One limitation of this research is the reliance on the self-reported data collected from both workers (job engagement, SPS and control variables) and supervisors (lean bundles). Furthermore, our study was conducted in a specific country, Italy, which might have limitations on the generalizability of the results since cross-cultural differences in job engagement and SPS have been documented. Practical implications: Our findings highlight that employees' strong engagement in SPS behaviors is shaped by the managerial and technological systems implemented on the shop floor. Specifically, we point out that implementing IoT systems without the appropriate managerial practices can pose challenges to fostering employee engagement and SPS. Originality/value: This paper provides new insights on how lean and new technologies contribute to the development of learning-to-learn capabilities at the individual level by empirically analyzing the moderating effects of IoT systems and LP on the relationship between job engagement and SPS.

Digitization has seen an impressive evolution in recent years, felt at the level of all industries and activities. The processes managed until recently by human capital have started to be digitized, a transformation that can be perceived both as an opportunity and as a threat to the human resources involved in carrying out those activities. The current work aims to summarize the impact that digital transformation has had and still has on activities, as well as the ways in which the automation of some processes can be transformed from a threat into an opportunity, with a direct impact on increasing competitiveness and productivity, on streamlining processes, as well as reducing the incidence of human errors. Also, daily activities performed by human resources are influenced by digitalization, therefor we will focus also on threats and opportunities for people in their personal live.

In recent years, some illegal activities have emerged, enabling their owners to counterfeit billions of local and international currencies. Therefore, it is necessary to combat these activities by increasing insurance awareness among the public, and upgrading the level of the banknote and the elements included in its components and means of insurance. The problem of the research represented in the difficulty recognizing and distinguishing between original and counterfeit currencies for a large segment of Egyptian society and the absence of identifying the insurance components in Egyptian currencies and limiting them to a specific segment of specialists, whether in the field of their production or circulation, such as banks. The aim of the research is developing ways of dealing with the public through the Internet and smart phone applications, easily defining and educating the public about all insurance means, and identifying whether the currencies are valid or counterfeit. Raising public awareness of the visible and invisible insurance components in Egyptian currencies to support anti-counterfeiting and counterfeiting ways and devices through the application.

The article is devoted to the originality of L. N. Tolstoy’s early story “A Billiard-Marker’s Notes” and the history of its writing with the use of preparatory materials. The author aims to analyze and show the interrelation of a wide range of psychological, socio-ethical, and ideological issues raised in the story, which deeply worried the writer in the 1850s. The article proves that the artist’s choice of the genre of “notes” and first-person narratives allowed him to diversify the plot, methods of psychological analysis, and images of the characters’ inner world. The article pays considerable attention to such a feature of “A Billiard-Marker’s Notes” in terms of narratology as the presence of two characters-narrators, opposite to each other in age, social status, level of development, and bearers of different speech styles. This technique allows the writer to depict dramatically Nekhlyudov’s loneliness, “lostness,” and the existing blatant gap between the worldview of the nobility and the people and their ethics. The narrator’s expressive word, completing the work, brings it to the existential level. The image of the character-marker and his perception of reality testifies to the connections of “A Billiard-Marker’s Notes” with the traditions of the “natural school,” its humanistic principles, and democracy. This story, along with other works of the 1850s, contains the origins of the religious and philosophical views of the writer-thinker.

Architectural identity reflects the features of a country's people, society, and environment. Recently, Countries' unique architectural identities have been faded due to globalization, making it difficult to determine each country's regional and local identities. One of the significant architectural elements which characterize the Arab heritage urbanism is the courtyard residence. It is the most important element that characterizes the heart of all the Islamic-Arab houses. The building design usually begins from the courtyard it had been used by Arabs and Muslims in architecture for its compatibility within the environmental, cultural, and social requirements. In traditional residences, Courtyard was considered the focal point of the house, it had functioned as the essential ventilation and daylight for the adjacent built-up spaces. Despite there have been different studies of historical, social, cultural, and environmental aspects of courtyard architecture, but there was not much focusing on its spatial impact. In most traditional Cairene houses, the courtyard was used not only to obtain privacy, which in Arab society is a requirement but also to improve the thermal comfort inside a residence. This paper investigates the climatic and social benefits of the courtyard houses and studies the courtyard’s effect as a natural design technique and a microclimate adjustor in a hot arid climate. The paper is illustrating spatial locations, composition, and thermal performance of courtyards, in addition, it analyses the contemporary courtyards house application in the hot-arid regions. Two selected case studies were chosen to be discussed in accordance with the theoretical studies. Finally, the paper proposing a guideline in design process to improve a courtyard's thermal performance.

In the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, comprising Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman, advanced urban planning and cutting-edge projects signify a dedication to modernity and prosperity. These nations, renowned for substantial energy reserves, are crucial players in the global energy landscape, contributing 45% of proven oil reserves, 25% of oil exports, and 18% of proven natural gas reserves. Significant investments in planned cities showcase the GCC region’s commitment to renewable energy with megaprojects serving as key promoters of a nationalist vision for modernization and sustainability. Criticism has been directed at ambitious designs and sustainability rhetoric, as seen in projects like Masdar City, originally envisioned as carbon-neutral but encountering challenges in realization.The implementation of Smart Cities in Oman is in its early stages, marked by a lack of comprehensive industry-level studies and an absence of an established frameworkbased approach. Limited industry-level studies address citizen-centric Smart governance thereby impacting Quality of Life. Current research emphasizes technology and innovation rather than the cultural sentiments of the local community resulting in gaps in people-centric approach. Moreover, there’s no empirical research to validate the influence of People on Public-Private Partnership enterprises in Smart City development, necessitating the development of a conceptual framework or model to highlight the influence of people on Smart Cities. This deficiency is resulting in a stagnation of innovation and an insufficient quality of life. The goal is to measure the effectiveness of the participatory governance model in improving the quality of life for residents within the smart city. By addressing the identified deficiencies through the application of participatory governance, the research aims to pave the way for a more effective and people-centric approach to smart city development, ultimately fostering innovation, enhancing the quality of life, and promoting sustainable and inclusive outcomes.

AbstractThis paper examines the dynamics of the entrepreneurship ecosystem and entrepreneurship development in Africa. This study is conceived on the premise that although enterprise-induced growth is documented to be the panacea for containing the rising unemployment, poverty rate, and worsening economic conditions, African enterprise-led policies have not generated the desired results with entrepreneurship development still slow. It is believed that the nature of entrepreneurial ecosystem might have contributed to poor entrepreneurship development, however, there is a paucity of evidence about this possible link. This paper is one of the foundational studies in the entrepreneurship literature that has applied quantitative analytical procedures to investigate how the dynamics of the entrepreneurial ecosystem influence entrepreneurship development in Africa. The paper operationalises the entrepreneurial ecosystem within the African context and investigates the short-run and long-run relationships between these proxies and entrepreneurship development in Africa. The paper employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) to estimate the relationships and the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) to validate the estimates. Annual data from 2000 to 2021 in 54 African countries were used for the study. This translated into 1184 observations in a 22-year data span. The paper revealed a positive consequence of the entrepreneurial ecosystem on entrepreneurship development in Africa in both the short-run and the long-run, however, the short-run estimates were not significant. It is concluded that the entrepreneurial ecosystem proxies: people (human capital), venture capital, infrastructure, system, and support are catalysts that drive entrepreneurship development in Africa in the long run. It is recommended that African enterprise-led policy should emphasise the entrepreneurial ecosystem that revolves around these constructs in order to develop an entrepreneurship culture and sustain the existing enterprises.

In this article, I reflect on the intersection between feminism and documentary art as truth-telling by focusing on Alcaldessa (Ada Colau for Mayor), the most relevant documentary of the long-term collaboration between the film-maker Pau Faus and Ada Colau, the first female mayor of Barcelona (2015–2023). My argument is critical of a reductionist interpretation which portrays Alcaldessa as a personalist postfeminist documentary overly fixated on 'biography rather than policy'. In contrast, I posit that Faus' documentary, delving into Colau's initial electoral campaign (2014–2015), offers valuable insights into pivotal aspects of an underexamined political vision that merges the principles of new municipalism with a focus on the 'common people' (gent comú) and feminism. Furthermore, the documentary sheds light on unreconciled dilemmas inherent in the lived new politics and feminist leadership, issues that often remain concealed within the ideological trappings of political manifestos and programmes.
