This study aims to carry out a bibliometric analysis on Islamic marketing using the VOSviewer program. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method. The data used in this study are search results based on the keyword "Islamic Marketing" sourced from Google Scholar using publish or perish software. From the search results, we found 1000 articles published in the 2018-2022 range. The results show that research on Islamic marketing increased in 2019 and 2020 but decreased significantly in 2022. In conclusion, this study is needed to demonstrate the significance of undertaking bibliometric analysis, particularly in the area of Islamic marketing. It is expected that this study will serve as a model for future research in terms of conducting and identifying research topics, particularly in the field of Islamic marketing.

This study investigates the relationship between shipping connectivity, environmental quality, financial development, and economic growth among 14 countries in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) from 2006 to 2019. Using panel-corrected standard error, Dynamic Seemingly Unrelated Regression, and Driscoll–Kraay estimation methods, the analysis reveals that shipping connectivity significantly contributes to financial development and economic growth, while also exerting a negative impact on environmental quality. These findings suggest that the maritime sector can have significant impacts not only on economic growth and financial development but also on environmental sustainability. In countries where maritime shipping has increased, particularly with the growth of trade, positive outcomes are observed in terms of financial development and economic growth, while negative impacts on environmental quality are also evident. This study provides insights for policymakers to develop strategies that maximize economic benefits while reducing environmental harm in order to achieve sustainable development in the maritime sector.

The study aims to substantiate effective strategies to manage credit risks in commercial banks, for example, Kosovo. Based on the annual financial statements of commercial banks in Kosovo for 2010-2020. We built polynomial regression models to assess the impact of credit risk on the bank's financial stability. Empirically, determined and argued the different nature of the credit risks influencing the bank's financial stability according to various on the assets size of commercial banks. Preventive and reactive scenarios for minimizing the negative impact of credit risk on the financial stability of commercial banks in Kosovo have been determined using the constructed regression models. The results obtained are of practical importance and can help develop effective strategies for managing the financial risks in commercial banks in times of crisis and building up financial stability in stable conditions.

This study clarifies the student’s perspective in the disputed territory, to inculcate the influence of personality traits, moral obligation, entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial intentions, and these relationships mediated by perceived advantage. A framework for the judgment of entrepreneurial mindset in the context of disputed territory and special administrative zones is presented. The data was collected from Eastern students at four universities. The current survey was conducted using purposive sampling, and the sample size was 344 students from four different universities. The study used CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) and SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) for data analysis by using Smart PLS 3.2.9 and SPSS 26. The findings revealed the direct and indirect influence of personality traits entrepreneurial education and moral obligation on the intentions mediated by perceived advantage. Diversely, moral obligations do affect entrepreneurial intention in the presence of perceived advantage. The counterintuitive situation arises in the case of and helpful situation, where moral obligations are not playing role in the case of the disputed territory. The study contributes to enhancing the understanding of the entrepreneurial intention of university students in disputed territories. It brings into light the research agenda of entrepreneurship in disputed territories and special administrative areas. Specifically, the perceived advantage proved unique and verifiable intervening in the role between entrepreneurial education, personality traits, and the moral obligation with entrepreneurial intentions. This research supplies the basis for compatible academic and economic policy formulation. This study supplies a knowledge base for startups in special and disputed territories. It enhances innovation by making students fit their needs.

This study investigates the relationship between shipping connectivity, environmental quality, financial development, and economic growth among 14 countries in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) from 2006 to 2019. Using panel-corrected standard error, Dynamic Seemingly Unrelated Regression, and Driscoll-Kraay estimation methods, the analysis reveals that shipping connectivity significantly contributes to financial development and economic growth, while also exerting a negative impact on environmental quality. These findings underscore the dual role of shipping connectivity in fostering economic prosperity and increasing environmental challenges, highlighting the trade-offs between growth and sustainability. The study also emphasizes that as trade between RCEP countries grows, driven in part by the removal of customs tariffs, shipping activities—and consequently environmental pollution—will likely increase. To achieve sustainable development in the maritime sector, policymakers must devise strategies that maximize economic benefits while mitigating environmental harm. These strategies include promoting environmentally friendly green ports, adopting low-carbon and advanced technologies, and strengthening policies to control emissions and marine pollution. Collaboration among shipping companies, local governments, and environmental organizations is also essential.

The main purpose of the study is to examine the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and working capital management practices on the performance of small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) in Kosovo during the lock-in period. In addition, the aim of the study is to investigate how employee behavior affects the relationship between corporate social responsibility, working capital management and the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises. A quantitative research method is used to obtain the necessary data. Respondents are employees of small and medium-sized businesses currently working in Kosovo, and surveys are mailed and in person. The PLS-SEM method was used to examine whether there is a statistically significant relationship between corporate social responsibility, working capital management practices, and SMEs performance. The relationship between corporate social responsibility, working capital management and financial success was investigated using a quantitative research method. The study found a significant correlation between corporate social responsibility (CSR), working capital management practices and the success of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Kosovo. The data also showed that employee behavior plays a mediating role in the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR), working capital management practices and the performance of small and medium enterprises in Kosovo, according to the results. Significant gaps in the work have been identified as a result of inconsistent application of financial criteria by businesses that define sustainability. In addition, the study contributes to the preservation of enterprise valuation standards by providing guidance for small business owners and operators.
