“…Thus older laborers require more time to receive and act on signals, accelerating the loss in productivity due to aging. Nevertheless, interactive skills do not depreciate with age (Maitland, Intrieri, Schaie, and Willis, 2000;Park et al, 1999;Skirbekk, 2002;Verhaegen and Salthouse, 1997;Waldman and Avolio, 1986;).…”

This research studies a set of mangrove shellfishers on the South-Pacific Coast of Colombia. Results show the impoverishment and lack of human capital of shellfishers. Findings indicate that the age of shellfishers is negatively correlated to human capital formation. As a consequence, senior shellfishers exert higher levels of effort to maintain livelihoods. By estimating seemingly unrelated regressions, we identify that shellfishers with higher human capital harvest lower shellfish quantities, implying that the less educated shellfishers engage in the activity as a last resort. Furthermore, women are more frequent in the activity, though exhibiting non-significant differences in productivity compared to men.

American (i.e., Western) thinking favors the analytic style, focusing on the focal object and internal attributes; Chinese (i.e., Eastern) thinking favors the holistic style, paying attention to the context and whole system. This research investigates whether such holistic and analytic thinking styles affect attitudes towards holistic ads which contain many types of information (availability, price, company, etc.) and attribute ads which contain only one type of information (product feature). The first study showed that (i) American consumers prefer attribute ads more than Chinese consumers do; (ii) both American and Chinese consumers prefer holistic ads more than attribute ads; and both prefer the holistic ads equally well. The second study showed that the impact of cultural differences in thinking styles on ad attitudes were not influenced by thinking speed – whether the thinking was fast and automatic or whether the thinking was slow and effortful. The stable and verifiable managerial implication is that ad content in the East and West, in the US and China must include more, diverse information.

Qurʾānic Studies and Natural Sciences: A Methodological Interdisciplinary Approach and its Intellectual Gains

The interdisciplinary relationship between Qurʾānic studies and natural sciences has a long history, but it has always been challenging due to the significant differences in epistemology, language, and methodology. These fundamental differences make interdisciplinary research between these two paradigms complicated. A methodological approach to the most important types of relations between these two paradigms can make this complex path smoother and reduce the epistemological errors of research. In this study, we will first explore the concept of methodological interdisciplinarity by examining the theoretical literature produced by experts in interdisciplinary studies. Next, using a descriptive-analytical method, we will examine the most significant interdisciplinary research in the field of Qurʾānic studies and natural sciences. By categorizing and ranking these studies, we will identify and introduce three intellectual achievements–methodological interdisciplinarity aims to improve the quality of results by borrowing methods or concepts from other disciplines to test hypotheses, answer research questions, or develop theories. Based on the degrees of integration and the relation between Qurʾānic studies and natural sciences, the following three main achievements can be listed: First, developing theological insights for the Qurʾān. Secondly, generating exegetical insights for Qurʾānic commentators. Thirdly, generating new perspectives in natural sciences. In this way, the main achievement of interdisciplinary integration belongs to Qurʾānic studies in the first two types, while the third type generates new perspectives in natural sciences.
