PENGOBATAN ALTERNATIF SUPRANATURAL MENURUT HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: Syamsuddin Syamsuddin
Published: February 2019

Fenomena pengobatan medis yang relative cukup mahal, tidak terjangkau oleh semua orang, terlebih lagi bagi yang tarap kehidupannya pas pasan menggiring sebagian masyarakat untuk memilih jalan alternatif berobat yang lebih singkat dan lebih ekonomis. Maraknya praktek pengobatan di luar medis seperti pengobatan supranatural nyaris menjadi pilihan seperti yang terjadi di klinik YPS Serang. Tatacara pengobatan yang dilakukan di klinik YPS ini, selain memijat dengan gerakan variatif, juga menggunakan pendekatan meditasi dengan mengucapkan bacaan-bacaan tertentu secara sir (mantera) kepada pasien dan air untuk diminum dan mandi pasien setelah pulang ke rumah masing-masing. Oleh karena itu penulis tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian dengan judul "Pengobatan Supranatural Menurut Hukum Islam (Studi di YPS Serang)". Pertanyaan dalam penelitian ini dapat dirumuskan sebagai berikut: 1. Bagaimana praktek pengobatan supranatural di YPS Serang? 2. Bagaimana pengobatan supranatural di YPS Serang menurut hukum Islam? Tujuan penelitian ini adalah: 1. Untuk mengetahui bagaimana praktek pengobatan supranatural di YPS Serang. 2. Untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengobatan supranatural di YPS Serang menurut hukum Islam. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan dua sumber data, yaitu: sumber primer : hasil observasi dan wawancara dengan Pimpinan YPS, Penerapi, Pegawai dan Pasien. Sementara sumber sekunder penulis dapatkan dari buku-buku, brosur, pamflet, jurnal maupun tulisan populer, baik yang diakses lewat media cetak maupun elektronika tentang praktek pengobatan supranatural dan hukumnya. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah: Pertama: Praktek pengobatan supranatural di YPS Serang lebih bersifat fisik dengan melakukan gerakan pijatan terhadap pasiennya secara variatif diawali dengan bacaan-bacaan tertentu sebelum memulai pijatan, baik yang diucapkan secara sir di hadapan pasien maupun yang dibacakan pada air untuk diminum dan mandi; Kedua: Pengobatan Supranatural di YPS Serang menurut hukum Islam, ada dua kategori, yaitu: yang dibolehkan (mubah) dan ada yang dilarang (haram). Yang dibolehkan (mubah) adalah praktek pengobatan supranatural yang dilakukan dengan gerakan pijatan oleh pemijat yang orangnya sejenis atau muhrimnya dengan bacaan do'a yang bersumber dari Nabi. Sedangkan pengobatan supranatural yang dilarang (haram) adalah pemijatnya laki-laki pasiennya perempuan yang antara keduanya bukan muhrim, bacaan yang diucapkan secara sir baik kepada pasien sebelum dipijat maupun pada air untuk diminum dan mandi pasien, ternyata bukan do'a tapi mantera (yang biasa digunakan oleh dukun), demikian pula nama klinik YPS kepanjangan dari Yang Penting Sembuh mengesankan pasti sembuh dengan cara apa saja, hal ini bertentangan dengan 'aqidah Islamiyah karena yang berwenang menyembuhkan hanya Allah. Praktek pengobatan supranatural di YPS Serang termasuk kategori yang kedua.
ULAMA HIJAZ-JAWA PERTENGAHAN ABAD XIX M
Authors: Mukaffa Zumrotul
Published: February 2019

This article describes a 'hijaz' ulama from Java, Sheikh Nawawi al-Bantani. He is known as the 'fiqh' ulama. However, it turns out he also has a tendency in the field of Sufism. His thoughts on Sufism are so much embodied in his various works. The Sufism here refers to all that is done to keep the heart clear, to cure broken hearts, to adorn the heart with a laudable behaviour and all things that can lead one to a high degree in faith and Islam. According to him, human formation can be done with deepening of the science of Sufism through education. Three of his works in the field of Sufism, Salalim al-Fudhola 'Syarh Mandzumah Hidayah al-Azkiya', Qami 'al-Tughyan Syarh' ala Manzhumah Syu'ab al-Iman, and Nashaih al-'Ibad fi Bayan Alfadz Munabbihat 'ala al-Isti 'dad li Yaum al-Ma'ad, asserted his thoughts that describe a necessity for a Muslim to integrate Shari'a, tariqat and hakikat. Shari'a means to keep all the commandments of God and stay away from His prohibitions; Thariqah deepens into the Shari'a through the activities of sunnah, good deeds, dhikr, riyadlah, and all outwardly and inwardly activities that can lead a person to the essence of himself and his God. The process of integration can be realized through the planting of seven basic characters, the habituation of eleven attitudes of sufism, and exemplary attitudes and behaviors designed in an educational curriculum.

CONCEPTUAL PICTURE OF THE WORLD: THE TYPES OF RELATIONS THAT ARISE IN THE INTERACTION OF OBJECTS
Authors: Buhrii A.S.
Published: February 2019

The presence of a connection between the concept and the image of the word gives the opportunity to say that the word reflects (induces) the concept in the human consciousness. The relations that arise between a word and its image in the human consciousness are causal, and the word and its image in the human consciousness form, thus, the causal system. Being elements of the linguistic unit (tokens),
the image of the word and the notion form a functional system, because they are interconnected functionally. In the language property (attribute) is one of the main objective characteristics that promotes the identification of the word as a carrier of object characteristics. The fact that in nature exists as a "subject" (functional system of qualities), the language is represented as a system of relations between the attribute
and the name, name and predicate, which reflects the structures formed in our consciousness between the concepts of "subject", "quality", "action". Types of interpersonal relations, presented in the language, express the structure of relations between concepts in the picture of the world, which is formed as a result of reflection of real objective relations.

Authors: Aminu Yusuf Nafisa , Mustaffa Che Su , Mohamad Bahtiar
Published: February 2019

Companies that are able to take advantage of good reputation are likely to increase their economic performance by retaining large customer base. While studies have established a direct relationship between organisational culture and corporate reputation, scholars have argued that there is paucity of studies that examined external perception of organisational culture (POC) on customer based corporate reputation (CBCR). Similarly, studies have not examined the causal link through which POC influence CBCR. Hence, this present study was conducted to provide additional insight by examining the mediating role of transparent communication (TC) on the relationships between POC and CBCR. The data for this study was collected from 321customers of three major insurance companies (Custodians and Allied Insurance, Mutual Benefits, NEM Insurance PLC) in Nigeria. The study utilized PLS-SEM path modelling with the aid of SmartPLS 2.0 software to test the research hypotheses. The findings revealed that TC plays a competitive mediating role by changing the negative significant relationship between POC and CBCR to significant positive relationship. As such, a competitive mediation was established between POC and CBCR through TC. The study recommended the need for insurance companies to engage in aggressive communication strategy by focusing on transparent communication to foster better insurance awareness with a view to improving their reputation in the eyes of the Nigerian public.

Maximizing Crude Palm Oil Production in Malaysia: A Search for an Optimal Policy Using System Dynamics and Genetic Algorithm Approach
Authors: Zainal Abidin Norhaslinda , Dewi Applanaidu Shri , M. Faeid Mohd Zabid
Published: February 2019

Palm oil industry in Malaysia is experiencing a stagnant crude palm oil (CPO) production and has been lagging as compared to Indonesia. This situation can jeopardize Malaysia’s position in world palm oil marker since Malaysia needed to secure its export revenue and fulfilling increasing demand of palm oil both locally and globally in the future. The factors that influence the CPO production are many. Among others are the scarcity of plantation area, labour shortage, and demand from palm-based biodiesel industry. This study presents an integrated of system dynamics (SD) and genetic algorithm (GA) (SD-GA) model to find the optimal policy to improve CPO production in Malaysian palm oil industry. SD offers the platform to evaluate and to test policy while GA facilitate the process of searching the best solutions to achieve the maximum CPO production in 2050. The proposed model has produced five optimal values for five policy variables namely average replanting rate, mechanization adoption rate, and biodiesel mandate in transportation, industrial and other sectors respectively. The best solution suggested that CPO replanting rate need to be increased to 251743.5 hectares per year to decrease the accumulation of ageing area by optimizing all these policy variables. This study is expected to help policy makers in designing related policies and drawing the road map towards improving CPO production in Malaysian palm oil industry.

Authors: Pritchard John P. , Tomasiello Diego , Giannotti Mariana , Geurs Karst
Published: February 2019

We analyze the impact of different accessibility measures on the interpretation of associated equity analysis using the Gini coefficient and the (pseudo) Palma ratio, and the impact of the method of assigning zonal accessibility on Gini estimation results using four different alternatives. Two types of potential accessibility measures (zonal and person-based) and two ratios of potential jobs to potential population (intra-modal and multi-modal) are estimated for car and transit in the Netherlands' Randstad region, Greater London, and São Paulo relying on network data, schedule-based data, and speed profiles. Gini results are heavily influenced by the accessibility indicator and the method of assignment. The Palma ratio is also influenced by the choice of accessibility indicator, with the person-based potential accessibility measure tending to show greater inequity.

Authors: Akpan Bassey Samuel , Okpe Okpe , Adie Timothy
Published: February 2019

Critical understanding of Western idea of human personality reveals a lot of weaknesses. It reveals individualistic and anthropocentric tendency which is the reason for unpleasant relationship between man and fellow man and man and the environment. This kind of thinking has led Western environmental ethicist to now propound theories towards communitarian stand, for instance; deep ecology, land ethic, eco-feminism to mention a few. Enyimba, Maduka holds a radical point of view from many African communal philosophers. Maduka holds that a person is human because he/she is worth more in quality and essence than other beings and things. Such thinking has been the underlying rationale behind man’s overexploitation of nature. The thrust of the essay is to look at the basic tenets of Madukakism as the philosophy of being human in Africa. This paper agrees with the idea of Madukaku that humanity is at the centre of the universe, but differs from its individualist assumptions. In African ontology, the hierarchy of beings, God, lesser deities and ancestors are above human, If this is the case then man is not supreme and cannot be ‘the measure of all things’. Hence this paper rejects Maduka’s postulation of human being as supreme, because even within African environment there are some trees, rivers, mountains etc that are considered sacred and its therefore considered a taboo to toy with them. To this, no matter how highly placed man is, he is not allowed to touch nor exploit them, without dare consequence, which clearly shows that man is not the measure of all things but is in a complimentary state with other beings in African belief system.

Mesolithic settlement in the Tenczyn Hummock region
Authors: Zakrzeńska Justyna , Zając Mirosław
Published: February 2019

This article addresses the issue of the Mesolithic settlement in the Tenczyn Hummock region. Although Mesolithic artefacts have been encountered in this region systematically since the beginning of the 19th century, they have never become the subject of any elaboration discussing this issue individually. Jointly, from the area of the Tenczyn Hummock and its immediate surroundings 29 Mesolithic sites have been identified. Most of them are finds of single objects that based on their typological features can be associated with the Mesolithic period. The Mesolithic sites are mainly concentrated within the southern peripheries of the Tenczyn Hummock. Based on the analysis of the materials presented in this paper, the authors concluded that most of them should be linked with the late phase of the Komornica culture, although there were also a few elements revealing connections with the Janisławice culture. The Mesolithic occupation in the Tenczyn Hummock region was strictly associated with the Vistula valley, and constituted an integral part of the Mesolithic settlement in the Cracow region. Upon comparing it with the well-recognised Palaeolithic settlement, the completely different nature of the former becomes clearly evident. The Mesolithic sites, contrary to the Palaeolithic ones, were not directly associated with the exploitation of Jurassic flint outcrops. Most of them are remains of small camps, the distribution of which marks the zone of penetration of hunter-gatherer societies from the Vistula valley.
Trzciniec Culture settlement in the Bochnia Foothills (Jasień, site no. 38, com. Brzesko)
Authors: Czerniak Radosław , Drobniewicz Barbara , Naglik Ryszard
Published: February 2019

Archaeological research in Jasień site no. 38 was conducted in 2013. The site was discovered and excavated during construction of a road junction and exit on the A4 motorway towards Brzesko. It is located on the western verge of the culmination of a dune, within the ridges of the marshy valley of the Uszewka River. As a result of the investigation, fourteen archaeological features were discovered, and 357 artefacts were obtained from features and layers. Most of them were fragments of vessels and flint artefacts. Based on the analysis of the materials, several phases of human activity were identified. The oldest artefacts can be linked with two Mesolithic cultural units, namely the Komornica culture with post-Maglemosian elements, and the Janisławice culture (?). Other archaeological materials dated to younger phases are equally scarce in terms of their quantity and are represented by pottery fragments associated with the Mierzanowice and Lusatian cultures. Amongst the artefacts from Jasień, materials referring to the Trzciniec culture are predominant. In terms of style and formal and technological characteristics they are extremely uniform, and they reveal features typical of the classical phase of the Trzciniec culture development.

Published: February 2019

During rescue excavations carried out in 2012 in site 8 at Zagórze, Comm. Mucharz, Dist. Wadowice, a hoard of bronze objects was discovered, comprising a binocular brooch of the Strzebielinko type, three spiral bracelets made of thick bronze sheet of triangular cross-section, and three twisted necklaces with flattened and rolled ends. The deposit should be dated to HaD and linked with the Górnośląsko-Małopolska (Upper Silesian-Lesser Polish) group of the Lusatian culture. The spiral bracelets and the decoration featuring on the ends of one of the necklaces find the closest analogies in the hoard from Krásna Hôrka, Dist. Tvrdošín, in Slovakia. All metal objects originating from site 8 at Zagórze were subjected to chemical and technological analysis (XRF spectrometer of the Spectro-MIDEX type).

Kajian Filsafat Tanggungjawab Negara Terhadap Nilai-Nilai Kearifan Lokal Masyarakat Hukum Adat
Authors: Kadidaa Heryanti
Published: February 2019

Karya ini ditujukan untuk menawarkan metode yang tepat dalam mengkaji secara filosofi tanggungjawab negara terhadap nilai-nilai kearifan lokal. Selama ini tanggung jawab negara hanya fokus pada problem yuris, dan mengabaikan problem etis filosofis. Penelitian ini adalah sangat penting dalam memperkaya wacana tentang etika. Etika merupakan bagian dari filsafat, nilai, dan moral yang mana etika bersifat abstrak dan berkenaan dengan persoalan baik dan buruk. Kearifan lokal tidak hanya sekedar dipandang sebagai produk kebudayaan semata, tapi harus menjadi sumber konstruksi system hukum yang bertitik tolak dari pemahaman filosofis. Dengan alasan tersebut, karya ini menawarkan suatu metode yang tepat dalam mengkaji dan mengintegrasikan kearifan lokal harus dipandang sebagai sebuah “hukum sebagai perilaku”, bukan semata “hukum sebagai aturan, norma atau asas” atas suatu nilai.  Aplikasi metode tersebut dapat menciptakan suatu kebijakan yang holistik yang diintegrasikan alam menjalankan tanggugjawab negara terhadap nilai-nilai kearifan lokal masyarakat hukum adat.
