The links between the Maghreb al-Aqṣà and al-Andalus have been a constant throughout the centuries. And if they are approached from the perspective of paleoclimatology there is no exception. The main objective of this study is to reconstruct the climatic anomalies—particularly droughts and storms—identified in the writings of the chroniclers Ibn Abī Zarʿ and Ibn ʿIdhārī during the period known as the Medieval Climatic Anomaly, dated approximately from 10th to 14th centuries. The direct consequences of a year of crop failure or storms that wreck crop fields, due to climatic fluctuations, are fundamentally twofold periods of famine and the spread of epidemics. Thus, these consequences are also evident in the aforementioned Arabic texts and in the archaeological remains of both places.

One of the key trends in the financial market, which actively manifested itself during the pandemic and then under sanctions pressure, was the active development of collective investments. At the same time, the new operating conditions for management companies, associated with the blocking of foreign assets, provoked significant difficulties in providing financial services to clients. In the current conditions, there is an increasing need to assess the practice of functioning of mutual investment funds and create mechanisms to reduce the negative consequences of the sanctions burden for individual financial market entities. Based on an analysis of the operating conditions of the management company and an assessment of the efficiency of managing the funds of mutual investment funds, it was determined that the key problems in the activities of the management company are the lack of significant financial results in the management of mutual funds, as well as the suspension of the work of five funds, which resulted in a deterioration in the financial performance of the company. In particular, there was a reduction in the company's assets by a third, an increase in country and currency risks, as well as a significant increase (by 350%) in labor costs. Based on the results of the analysis, the authors formulated measures to improve the efficiency of the company, including the creation of a personnel policy management system to improve the efficiency of the fund, the implementation of a scheme for the settlement of frozen assets by transferring funds from frozen mutual funds to a closed fund, as well as the transition to passive strategies for managing mutual funds. A project for a fund focused on Islamic investments has been developed, the portfolio of which includes shares of companies included in the Moscow Exchange Islamic Investment Index. An assessment of the fund’s potential showed prospects for forming the value of the fund's net assets in the amount of 990 million rubles.

Objective: to prove that the development of the legislation quality theory in labor law is of great practical importance.Methods: the methodological basis of research is universal dialectic method of cognition, as well as other general theoretical methods. Taking into account the impossibility to research and solve problems through the use of exclusively legal matter, the specific scientific methods were also widely used: formal-logical, comparative-legal, etc.Results: basing on the analysis of scientific works on the topic, it is concluded that the integral characteristics of the labour standards quality requires consideration of not only legal, but also social, political and moral points of view. With this approach, it is logical to allocate not only legal, but also socio-political and moral quality of the labour law. It is recognized that the existing theoretical legal works on the problem of labor laws quality do not allow to speak about creation of the quality concept, development of the research methodology of labour quality standards. It is concluded that the quality of the regulatory impact of labour legislation in Russia is not always at the proper level. Moreover, among the main reasons for the imperfection of the normative base regulating social-labour relations, it is necessary to allocate objective and subjective reasons, and their "symbiosis".Scientific novelty: it was found that the definition of the quality of the law, regulating socio-labour relations, should have an indication of properties of their components, the content of legal norms which allow to establish whether a particular law is a quality one.Practical significance: the theoretical principles formulated in the article can be used in scientific, legislative and law enforcement activity, educational process of higher vocational education institutions of the legal profile, to improve the skills of practitioners and scientific-pedagogical staff in the field of jurisprudence.
