The theme of friendship flows throughout the paper via a field study into friendship in the rural and remote island communities of the Zadar archipelago. The author explores Derrida’s spirit of friendship and asks: What form of friendship exists? How does it manifest itself? What is its importance to the island’s survival? The study reveals how friendship, in the form of communal friendship, emerges as a fundamental trait amongst the members of these communities and becomes the choice of their survival. As such, it is useful in gaining a better understanding of what drives a sustainable island development. Communal friendship is explored through the ethnography and storytelling. The study emphasises the usefulness of ethnography to a Critical Theory and argues that storytelling and ethnography co-exist, in order to gain an invaluable insight into the intangible aspects of a communal friendship. The author proposes to call this approach ‘an ethnographic storytelling’.

The main objective of this study was to analyze the motor variability in the performance of the tennis serve and its relationship to performance outcome. Seventeen male tennis players took part in the research, and they performed 20 serves. Linear and non-linear variability during the hand movement was measured by 3D Motion Tracking. Ball speed was recorded with a sports radar gun and the ball bounces were video recorded to calculate accuracy. The results showed a relationship between the amount of variability and its non-linear structure found in performance of movement and the outcome of the serve. The study also found that movement predictability correlates with performance. An increase in the amount of movement variability could affect the tennis serve performance in a negative way by reducing speed and accuracy of the ball.

LKMS is a financial institution that is oriented towards improving the welfare of members and society. Despite growing rapidly, LKMS is still experiencing many obstacles in its development. There are still many problems faced by this institution both from internal and external side. This study attempts to identify the causes and factors that are dominantly an obstacle in the development of LKMS in Indonesia, using IFAS EFAS Matrix and SWOT approaches, along with the solutions offered. Based on the IFE analysis that the highest rating of the power of small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is followed by high local initiative. While the weakness rating is the cost of human resource training and enterpreneurship training followed by the cost of licensing. The results of EFE analysis that the highest ranking of the opportunities that are financed sector is very flexible followed by the public interest factor toward sharia transaction is getting bigger. While the highest ranking of threats is competition followed by weak regulation and legality LKMS. It is expected that there will be joint commitment from various parties either from policy makers or academics and practitioners in supporting and encouraging the development effort of sharia finance industry especially in this case LKMS.
