Intellectual capital (IC) and sustainable startup performance (SP) are the two pillars required for the survival of ventures. Besides, the competitiveness of new ventures is ensured by the importance of intangible assets within the firm as well as strategies implemented by the startup founders. This study aims to map the conceptual structure of research on intellectual capital and sustainable startup performance conducted between 2002 and 2021 using bibliometric citation analysis. For that purpose, 292 papers from the Scopus database are scrutinized further to determine the publication activities of the concerned area. Vosviewer and Excel software were used to analyze the data. It is found that the publication activities of IC and SP are a relatively new concept that emerged in 2002 and is showing a favorable trend. The study discovered that most intellectual capital studies focus on sustainable startup performance, innovative capabilities, and knowledge management practices.

This paper analyzed sustainable principles of vernacular architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina featured in the Svrzo’s house complex in Sarajevo, which can serve as an example that can be utilized in contemporary architecture. An energy-efficiency analysis was performed by using DesignBuilder software. The aim was to investigate whether the building design, building’s envelope materialization, and spatial organization comply with today’s energy-efficiency standards and if such principles can be applied in contemporary design. The calculation of the energy demands for heating and cooling showed that the division of the house in winter and summer quarters is an energy-efficient approach that could be transposed into contemporary architecture. The calculations also showed that the materialization of the building envelope of the winter quarter is not energy efficient enough to be used in modern constructions, but the positive aspects of the building envelope materialization such as the use of natural, local materials with good heat capacity are important elements which could serve as guidelines for the materialization of contemporary buildings. Therefore, a new materialization was proposed on the basis of these principles. The calculations showed that the analyzed winter quarter became energy-efficient while maintaining sustainable principles borrowed from vernacular architecture.

This study analyzes financial literacy in Bosnia and Herzegovina by considering three areas: interest, inflation, and diversification, with financial literacy as a multi-dimensional construct consisting of financial knowledge and financial skills. Using a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey, 638 valid responses were collected from working-age individuals (18-65 years old). Financial knowledge and skills were analyzed through a prism of several demographic factors, including age, education, household income, and gender. Welch's F tests, ANOVA with Brown-Forsythe, LSD post hoc tests, and Welch's t-tests were performed to test the hypotheses. The findings provide evidence of moderate financial literacy. Similarly to previous studies, financial knowledge and skills partially depend on the respondent's age, education, household income, and gender. The study contributes to the current literature by taking a much-needed non-functional approach to examining financial literacy, focusing not only on financial knowledge but also on often neglected financial skills and providing insight into the unique context of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The paper presents a stub microstrip patch antenna for sub 6 GHz, that is used in 5G applications. The background of each part of the theory and the rules of the design of the antenna are described. 5G technology and its advantages are mentioned in this paper. Also, the reason why the microstrip patch antenna is used in this project, and what effect it has on the results, is described. The physical structure can be different, and it can behave differently. This paper uses a rectangular shape. The antenna also has tunning stub, and slits and slots, which are discussed in the paper. The antenna is simulated and analyzed, using Sonnet Suites Software [1]. The changes that were analyzed are geometry, dielectric thickness, and dielectric constant. The substrate that is used for designing the antenna is an FR-4. The antenna operates at 5.5 GHz with S11 of -12.605 dB, E-Theta of 4.646 dB, and E-Phi of -7.508 dB. These values are suitable for 5G applications.

Development infrastructure and heritage protection are equally important to many societies and countries in the world. Therefore, it is vital to reconcile both needs of development infrastructure and heritage protection through methods of heritage impact assessment (HIA) conducted using International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) guidelines. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Omo valley of Ethiopia is home to various palaeontological, archaeological and paleoanthropological records and, hence, has huge significance to the world as well as to Ethiopia. A road construction designed to pass through the Shungura Formation in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Omo valley of Ethiopia poses a serious problem to the heritage site, and an HIA was conducted to investigate thoroughly the impacts of the road construction on the heritage site. The ICOMOS guideline is a useful tool to carry out HIA, and it is used as a guiding method to conduct the HIA. In order to assess the impacts, data from the key attributes of the heritages were collected; these data are faunal fossils, archaeological records such as stone tools and geological exposures used to date fossils. These are the features that make the heritage site significant, and concentrations of these data from 4 m by 4 m gridded areas are assessed through ICOMOS guidelines, and high concentrations of faunal fossils and archaeological records are found in the areas where the road construction was designed to pass. The impacts of the road construction on the key attributes of the heritage vary from adverse effects (A1 and A4) to severe adverse effects (A2 and A3). Therefore, the road construction design Alt-00 adversely affects the heritage-bearing Shungura Formation which hosts the key attributes of the heritages in the Omo valley of Ethiopia. Following the results of this HIA, an alternative road construction design Alt-03 was suggested, and the new road construction design is adopted by the Ethiopian Road Authority. This particular study from the Omo valley of Ethiopia has played a significant role in saving the heritage sites and has also important implications in balancing the needs of heritage protection and development infrastructure to other parts of the country and elsewhere in the world, and it is a good contribution to future research related to heritages and impacts of development infrastructures.

PurposeThis article presents a process of building a practice-driven research agenda for Quebrada de Humahuaca, a World Heritage cultural landscape in northern Argentina, developed under the framework of the Heritage Place Lab (2021–2022) led by the World Heritage Leadership Programme. The research agenda aims to improve the property's management and governance structures through an inclusive approach that considers the participation of all stakeholders and rights holders.Design/methodology/approachThrough collaborative work, a step-by-step methodology was employed that included identifying the property's values and attributes, the involvement of different actors in its management and their specific roles, and the factors that might cause real or potential impacts. The systematisation and analysis of this information served to define research priorities and a practice-driven research agenda.FindingsA range of conflicts and threats were identified, and the values and attributes that define the property were recognised. The collaborative process helped define research priorities and allowed the development of a preliminary research agenda, which, in the long term, can meet the needs of the property's World Heritage Management Unit.Originality/valueThe originality of this work lies in the collaborative work undertaken by the research and practice teams to define a new research agenda based on practical needs to improve the management and governance structures of the World Heritage property.

PurposeThis paper presents participants' experiences of the collaborative process. The paper introduces the World Heritage Site and presents the central learning outcomes of a process through which researchers and practitioners sought to develop an empirically-grounded, site-specific and practice-led research agenda relevant to World Heritage management. The purpose of this paper is to discuss an approach to improving collaboration between researchers and practitioners in the World Heritage field.Design/methodology/approachFrom September 2021 to April 2022, a research-practice team comprised of social scientists and managers of the Rjukan-Notodden Industrial Heritage Site in Norway participated in a capacity-building pilot initiative under the ICCROM-IUCN World Heritage Leadership programme. Bringing researchers and practitioners together in a joint collaborative process, the Heritage Place Lab (HPL) pilot programme aimed to function as an incubator for developing research agendas for World Heritage Sites.FindingsThe paper demonstrates that close collaboration between heritage researchers and practitioners can benefit World Heritage Sites, offering managers valuable inputs for informed and inclusive decision-making. In the case of the Rjukan-Notodden Industrial Heritage Site, an improved understanding of the diversities in local values would benefit management, as existing management issues underpin the site's complexity. Furthermore, fruitful collaborations between heritage researchers and World Heritage managers depend on an overlapping and reflexive understanding of central concepts. This can be achieved through collaborative research-practice processes but is likely to require careful time management.Originality/valueFocussing on the collaborative process between World Heritage researchers and practitioners, and using additional information for comparable World Heritage examples obtained online, this paper shows how research interests and management challenges can be developed and aligned more successfully through cooperation and improved communication over time. Beyond the specific results for the Rjukan-Notodden Industrial Heritage Site, the broader discussion presented on the challenges and importance of addressing the complexities of managing heritage sites will be valuable for other World Heritage Sites and managers.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to outline and reflect on the new research agenda for the Great Zimbabwe World Heritage property. This research agenda was jointly developed by academics and practitioners from Great Zimbabwe University (GZU) and the National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe (NMMZ) respectively. This Research-Practice Team was put together for the Heritage Place Lab (HPL), a pilot project of the ICCROM-IUCN World Heritage Leadership programme.Design/methodology/approachA series of steps were undertaken to come up with research priorities and a new research agenda that are presented in this paper. The HPL project involved online workshops, due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions, that were held between September 2021 and April 2022. The HPL methodology involved six assignments that were based on the Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit 2.0 (EOH) which was being designed by UNESCO and its Advisory Bodies. This toolkit encouraged the team to establish site-specific management issues and research needs. The toolkit helped the team to have a detailed appreciation of the site's Outstanding Universal Value as well as other heritage values of national and local importance. The toolkit also involved the mapping of site attributes and multiple actors as well as the analysis of governance and legal frameworks. The toolkit also required the team to identify factors affecting the heritage property.FindingsThe Research-Practice Team highlighted challenges that resulted from the legacy of ill-informed research activities and conservation efforts at the World Heritage property. It became more apparent that the site managers were prioritizing the physical fabric of the site at the expense of the spiritual aspects. Lack of coordination among the actors was also undermining the governance structure. Four thematic strands which included local values and intangible cultural heritage elements; heritage governance; climate change and environmental sustainability and incorporation of local knowledge systems were identified for further research.Originality/valueThe paper is an outcome of collaborative efforts that were done by academics and practitioners. Researchers and site managers at Great Zimbabwe had hitherto worked in silos. The majority of previous and ongoing research on the World Heritage property falls short of addressing the dire management challenges. The paper is an attempt to broaden the scope in terms of the management of the site. In the past focus has been on the monumental aspects of the site with specific reference to the dry-stone walled structures. However, in this instance, the Research-Practice Team has integrated new interests such as the intangible aspects of Great Zimbabwe, spirituality and community beneficiation.

PurposeEven if there is a wealth of research highlighting the key role of values and cultural significance for heritage management and, defining specific interventions on built heritage, seldom the relation to their leading values and values hierarchy have been researched. How do values and interventions relate? What values trigger most and least interventions on heritage? How do these values relate and characterize interventions? And what are the values hierarchy that make the interventions on built heritage differ?Design/methodology/approachThis paper conducts a systematic content analysis of 69 international doctrinal documents – mainly adopted by Council of Europe, UNESCO, and ICOMOS, during 1877 and 2021. The main aim is to reveal and compare the intervention concepts and their definitions, in relation to values. The intensity of the relationship between intervention concepts and values is determined based on the frequency of mentioned values per intervention.FindingsThere were three key findings. First, historic, social, and aesthetical values were the most referenced values in international doctrinal documents. Second, while intervention concepts revealed similar definitions and shared common leading values, their secondary values and values hierarchy, e.g. aesthetical or social values, are the ones influencing the variation on their definitions. Third, certain values show contradictory roles in the same intervention concepts from different documents, e.g. political and age values.Originality/valueThis paper explores a novel comparison between different interventions concepts and definitions, and the role of values. The results can contribute to support further research and practice on clarifying the identified differences.

PurposeThis paper discusses how the Heritage Place Lab (HPL) Pilot Phase, led by International Centre for the Study of Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (2021–2022), supported La Antigua Guatemala (LAG) World Heritage Site as a case study to identify research gaps to strengthen HPL's management through a collaborative process between research and practice teams.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative method was adopted that followed the collaborative process proposed for the HPL Pilot Phase. An adapted version of the Enhancing Our Heritage (EoH) Toolkit 2.0 (forthcoming) was applied. The HPL served as an incubator for on-going research projects, with LAG acting as one of eight case studies.FindingsTo achieve sustainable development at the site, strengthening the governance model is a priority. This should focus on adopting a more comprehensive management approach that includes the surrounding areas and new values that have been identified since the approach's inscription in 1979 as well as addressing the impacts of climate change.Research limitations/implicationsThe study finds that this task is essential to widely disseminate and follow up the findings made between researchers and site managers as well as to propose a new governance model alongside associated changes in conservation and municipal and national legislation. Therefore, long-term political support and commitment from institutions, authorities and stakeholders involved in the management and conservation of LAG will be essential.Social implicationsAll sectors and institutions in the local community should be involved in the conservation and development of LAG and its surrounding areas. Local communities should benefit from a more effective and inclusive model of governance that recognises and enhances the communities' values as part of communities' identity and quality of life. Climate change mitigation and risk-prevention programmes should also be put in place.Originality/valueTo date, research in LAG has been disparate and has not responded to LAG's management needs that result from LAG's complexity as a living historical city. This paper demonstrates the contribution that collaborative work can make between researchers and site managers to identifying, prioritising and proposing solutions to the challenges facing World Heritage Sites.
