“…Geographical research on authenticating the origin of agri-food products reveals differences and similarities in the global focus of research. While studies such as Katerinopoulou emphasize the importance of elemental analysis and isotope ratios in authenticating the geographic origin of food products (Slatter, 2023). This is important because economic conditions, labor policies and development priorities can vary greatly between countries and regions.…”

This research carries out a bibliometric analysis of scientific literature related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDGS 8 (eight) which focuses on decent work and economic growth. The aim of this research is to measure and analyze various aspects of scientific publications in order to understand research trends, collaboration between researchers, and the impact of studies related to SDGS 8 (eight). Through this analysis, this research identifies research patterns, knowledge gaps, and opportunities for further research. Additionally, this research assesses the impact and contribution of various journals, institutions, and individual researchers in advancing understanding of SDGS 8 ( eight ). The research results demonstrate the dynamics and interconnectivity within the global research community, and highlight the most influential publications and authors. This research also explores how regional and national contexts influence research on SDGS 8 (eight), providing more relevant and specific recommendations for the implementation of SDGS 8 (eight) in various countries. Thus, this research provides an in-depth and comprehensive insight into the literature relating to decent work and economic growth, as well as its contribution to the global understanding of SDGS 8 (eight).

“…The study of spatial distribution of religions essentially covers two areas. One of the approaches-which has recently received more attention-includes the analysis of the geographical location of the members of the various religious groups and the changes observed in this field together with their causes (Hassan et al 2022;Knott 2005;Park 2003;Slatter 2023;Sümeghy and Németh 2022;Rombai 2021). In this context, research studies have highlighted the fact that, on the one hand, some of the major world religions (e.g., Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism) have shown a very significant spatial expansion in recent centuries (Stump 2008).…”

The aim of the article is to examine one of the neglected areas in the spatiality of religion, the spatial distribution of religious institutions and the changes that have taken place in this relation over time in the case of Debrecen, a specific city in Hungary, which has hosted several religions both in the past and present. The main findings are discussed in five subsections concentrating on five consecutive periods. During the period under study, the number of institutions run by churches increased steadily until the Second World War. This process was interrupted after the Second World War, and partly as a consequence of the world war (with the deportation of Jews to concentration camps) and partly due to the anti-religious nature of the socialist regime, there was a significant decline followed by a resumption of expansion after 1990. Regarding the location of the institutions within the city and its changes, there were significant differences between the various types of institutions (e.g., churches, administrative centres, kindergartens, elementary and grammar schools). Research primarily relied on document analysis and fieldwork.

Toponymic surnames and the spatiality of heresy prosecutions: Peter Seila’s register of sentences from the Quercy region (Languedoc), 1241–1242

Our knowledge of the geography of medieval religious dissent and its repression in the Latin West is limited by a lack of systematic study of locational information in inquisition trial records. Spatial analysis of these rich details has the potential to help build a bottom-up picture of interaction between dissidents and inquisitors that moves beyond institutional perspectives. This task is rendered challenging due to the inconsistencies and uncertainties of what inquisitors and their notaries typically recorded about the spatial associations of suspects. Probably the most common indicator of such associations found in inquisition records are toponymic surnames. They present challenges of coverage (not everybody had a toponymic surname) and interpretation (multiple possible meanings). This study attempts to tackle the challenge of interpreting such surnames within the context of the nine sentencing events held by the inquisitor Peter Seila in 1241 and 1242 in the Quercy region of Languedoc: covering 650 sentenced individuals, the register documenting these events is the earliest extant record of an inquisition of such scale. Rather than taking the interpretative challenges of toponymic surnames as reasons to limit ourselves to qualitative analysis, our approach shows the value of rendering and analysing them as structured data. Firstly, we quantify the context of toponymic surnames, placing them against the background of broader name construction practices and other social factors. Secondly, we plot and analyse the geocoded data derived from toponymic surnames with the benefit of this contextualisation, looking especially at the distance of toponyms from their associated sentencing centres, in order to derive narratives that best explain the generality of their meaning. The results allow us to appraise the actual spatial coverage of the nine sentencing events. The first two, centred on the important towns of Montauban and Moissac, seem most likely to have been primarily urban affairs, with little evidence of rural coverage. The remainder, which took place in castra (fortified villages), appear to have covered more of the surrounding countryside. These results geographically contextualise the reports of dissidence conveyed within Peter’s register, and suggest narratives for how Peter optimised his strategy for impact in the face of constraints.
