The processes of technological  progress create new opportunities for economic, social and cultural growth, shape new relations between economic  entities and their environment,  and influence changes in the determinants  of entrepreneurship development.  These processes vary significantly in certain geographic locations, characterised by an enormous  diversity of natural, social, economic and cultural structures. As a consequence, this creates different opportunities  and different conditions for the development of entrepreneurship in certain spatial scales, from the continental scale, through national and regional to local scales. The article presents complex conditions  for the development of entrepreneurship, highlights its limitations resulting from institutional  barriers, and the importance of knowing the mechanisms of mutual relations between spatial systems and the influence of control instruments. The quality of central and local government authorities is of particular significance here, which do not always properly use the mechanisms of rational business support. A serious barrier to the development of entrepreneurship is the low quality of social capital, manifested in a lack of trust in institutional authorities and reluctance to engage in entrepreneurship and business development. The conclusions point out that further research should be developed that will take into account changing business conditions, with a defined strategic goal of raising the quality and standard of living, international competitiveness of the country and products in different market categories.

Purpose – The library’s strategic plan calls for the author to “Transform the role of the subject liaison librarian to better engage the campus community.” This statement specifically focusses on the aspect of the liaison role that builds relationships with the campus partners, “to better engage the campus community.” And like the peers, liaison librarians at this mid-size research institution have been struggling not only with implementing but also determining how to measure this new role. The purpose of this paper is to develop one measure of librarian engagement with the campus community. Design/methodology/approach – The author developed a “campus relationship matrix” that articulates dozens of products that could potentially be the result of liaison work, such as co-authoring a grant proposal, developing a class, co-presenting a workshop on article impact metrics, etc. These relationship products were generated by examining the own work and by scanning liaison responsibility statements from other institutions. These products fall into three relationship status levels: emergent, generative, and productive. Each subject librarian was asked to rate his and her relationship with each department he or she serves. Additionally, in order to achieve consistency across the organization in understanding of three relationship levels, the author engaged in an exercise to calibrate the categorization of these work products. During this exercise and through the discussions, greater nuances were revealed about what the author is hoping to achieve with the strategic goal. A review and summary of the ratings is presented. Findings – Baseline counts of relationship types were completed. The author is working to establish goals for next year’s comparisons. In actuality, the specific goals matters much less than the conversations surrounding these results about what work the author should be doing and why and how is valued. Originality/value – This study presents a tool useful for the exploration and measure of librarian relationships with campus.

The relations between the Russian Federation and Belarus in the 21st century are characterized by dynamics and volatility. The integration processes of both countries, initiated in the 1990s, are an element of the strategy of domination in the post-Soviet area, which is consistently implemented by Russia. The authors conclude that this strategy in the case of Belarus is a kind of mixture of soft power and hard power, and the choice of instruments depends on the stability of the authoritarian regime, which is embodied by Alyaksandr Lukashenka. The rigged presidential elections triggered a wave of protests, leading to the gradual loss of social legitimacy by the Belarusian president. Russia has a dilemma: whether to continue to support Lukashenka, who is losing support, or to look for a “new personal alternative”, a politician that would guarantee the implementation of a “pro-Russian vector” in Belarus’s domestic and foreign policy. Regardless of how the situation develops, Russia’s strategic goal remains to keep Belarus in its sphere of influence using the already existing mechanisms of cooperation between the two countries.

The article considers the fact that the Seljuk state was founded by the Oghuz Seljuks, as well as the internal social policy of the Seljuk empire as a prerequisite for a crisis in the country (late XI and early XII centuries). The Seljuks combined the fragmented political landscape of the eastern Islamic world and played a key role in first and second crusades. Strongly Persianized in culture and language, the Seljuks also played an important role in the development of the Turkic-Persian tradition, even exporting Persian culture to Anatolia. The resettlement of Turkic tribes in the northwestern peripheral parts of the empire with the military strategic goal of repelling the invasions of neighboring states led to the gradual Turkization of these territories. Sultans handed out nobles and ordinary warriors to the nobility - ikta, which made it possible for the sultan to maintain power. At the end of the XI century, large conquests ended, bringing the nobility new lands and military booty, which led to a change in the political situation in the country. Know began to strive to turn their possessions into legally hereditary, and their power over the Rayyats - into unlimited; the owners of large Lenas raised rebellions, seeking independence (Khorezm in the 1st half of the XII century). To provide the army with land (ICT), wages, gifts, food, weapons, uniforms, medicines, the Sultan's government went to any expense. The widespread use of ICT in the army has allowed the creation of a stable mercenary army, specializing in the change of people's squads

Ansaq continues working towards becoming a solid scientific and global research-publishing platform, while contributing to translating the strategic goal of Qatar University in the field of scientific research. The QU strategic goal aspires that “the University should excel in focused, relevant, measurable, influential and collaborative research, and should be keen on finding solutions, and pushing towards progress in knowledge and innovation.” The University’s tireless efforts in academic higher education and scientific research have qualified it to occupy advanced positions in Arab, regional and international classifications. Additionally, it recently bagged second place in the Times Higher Education classification (THE) for Arab universities, 2021. Such ranking would not have been achieved without the presence of this insightful vision and ambitious strategy, and working with determination to implement it. Ansaq is pleased to present to its honorable readers and researchers this new issue, which contains six research papers covering different knowledge areas of Arabic language sciences and literature, such as grammar, rhetoric, literature, novel and others; in addition to a book review. Thus, it strengthens bridges of communication among scholars and researchers in Arabic language sciences and literature from East, West, North and South of the world, enabling them to explore knowledge emanating from different countries, and expanding the circle of knowledge exchange across the four directions of the compass. Without the continuous support of various parties at Qatar University and its affiliates, the journal would not have published this edition, and the previous editions as well. This support starts with the journal’s editorial board and their untiring work through the stages of the research journey; from reception until publication, the Languages, Media and Translation Sector at the College of Arts and Sciences, and the members of the Arabic Language Department. Furthermore, Qatar University Press remains to be the main partner of Ansaq, and the permanent supporter of the journal’s work and its publications. This new edition of Ansaq has been published after launching the electronic platform of the journal on Qatar University website, which enables automation of work in the journal at every stage. Researchers can upload their research directly through this platform and follow the peer-review procedures, and how they progress until publication. The launching of this e-platform is the result of diligent and hard work for more than a year led by Qatar University Press, in cooperation with the University Library. All of these steps ultimately lead to translating the strategic goal of Qatar University in terms of scientific research, developing it to serve the scientific community, and contribute to the development of knowledge that ultimately serves societies, or should do so.

Corporations being powerful institutions must be more accountable for their business policies and practices as their activities, for better or worse, have a significant impact on individuals, whole communities and society at large. But unfortunately, Capitalism at the beginning of the 21st century with overemphasis on economic performance has evolved the rule of unproductive economic activities, exploitation of customers, illegal monopolies, political patronage and personal gains. The observed inconsistency between the role and rule of business, being detrimental to the society has raised a concern about implementing business governance that would integrate value framework, ethical framework and moral framework under which business decisions are taken. To comply with the moral standards for optimizing the outcome for directly negotiating parties the corporate need to adopt a dual goal concept: a strategic goal and moral goal. An ideal situation is possible once the ethical perspectives of a business is internalised through value-based negotiations and exchanges at all levels, social, political and symbolic; hence broad objective of this paper is to put forward some guiding principle for the business firms to evolve responsible behaviour and avoid bad governance and business related violence
