Legalitas Perkawinan Beda Agama dalam Sudut Pandang Undang-Undang Perkawinan dan Undang-Undang Administrasi Kependudukan Dikaitkan dengan Hak Asasi Manusia

The background of this research is that interfaith marriages are not explicitly regulated in Law no. 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, so there is a legal vacuum to strictly regulate interfaith marriages in Indonesia. This is because more and more people in Indonesia are doing interfaith marriages. With the Law no. 23 of 2006 concerning Population Administration (UU Adminduk) can accommodate interfaith marriages being disabled, but in practice it is best not to do so.
Article 35 letter a of the Adminduk Law relating to interfaith marriages is a special rule that overrides more general regulations and does not erase old provisions, so that Law no. 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage is still valid in the national regulatory system in the field of marriage. With the existence of rules that prohibit interfaith marriages as a solution to overcome the legal vacuum by not giving rights to interfaith marriage actors to register their marriages through a court order. As for the legality of marriage materially, it still returns to the laws of their respective religions, while with regard to formal, civil law relations arising from marriage, if the marriage has received legal recognition, then everything is protected by law.
The rejection of interfaith marriages in Indonesia is basically a discriminatory act that is not in accordance with the principles of Human Rights (HAM) itself. However, humans are obliged to prioritize their basic human obligation to comply with their religious laws and the state as law enforcer needs to regulate prohibitions on interfaith marriages so that violations do not occur in society.

Nano-punk and Nanotechnology Genre in Literature: A Scientific and Cultural Analysis of Neal Stephenson’s The Diamond Age
Authors: Akhter Tawhida
Published: May 2024

Technology and society have been interconnected since the dawn of civilization. Literature has always served as an active medium to represent the interaction between these two fields. Fiction often utilizes technology as a backdrop for exploring societal conflicts. Science fiction, in particular, frequently depicts the complex interactions between technology and civilization. Nanopunk emerges as a significant genre within the realm of fiction, wherein the potential advantages and drawbacks of nanotechnology are explored within the imaginative landscapes of nanopunk narratives. This subgenre, a derivative of cyberpunk or biopunk, highlights forms of nanotechnology referred to as nano or nanites. Literature assumes a crucial role in depicting the nuances of nanopunk reality. In 1995, Neal Stephenson published his seminal science fiction novel, "The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer." This novel delves into the intricate relationship between literature and technology within a dystopian future heavily influenced by molecular nanotechnology. Through its narrative, the novel raises pertinent questions regarding power dynamics and the sociological impacts of technological integration in a futuristic setting. This paper seeks to analyze the implications of these emerging technologies as portrayed through fiction and their potential effects on contemporary society and future generations. It concludes that literature, culture, and fiction will continue to wield significant influence in shaping societal perceptions and attitudes towards the future of nanotechnology.

Growing a Writing Practice: Non-Extractive Writing
Authors: Batchelor La Royce
Published: May 2024

Essays for sale, AI, plagiarism, grade seeking: clearly it’s time to revamp research and writing. Students have not learned to write well, they’ve learned to game the system, get the grade, and move on. The dominant colonized system of higher education is seeking to reinvent itself to be more accessible, equitable, and inclusive. Growing a Writing Practice begins with exercises such as writing prompts to create a practice of writing on demand. Then guides the student through a series of exercises that build a toolbox that can be utilized for any research and writing demands. What are those tools? Growing a Writing Practice begins with asking good questions and learning how to draft questions in several ways providing several lenses through which to view the question and possible answers. A culture of extractivist research and writing has emerged. Decolonizing the extractivist approach requires shifting the focus away from bias confirming, data extracting, merely citing toward a process of honouring authors as teachers, published research as teachings, a habit of ethical considerations, and research and writing not as grade seeking but as balanced and purposeful exploration of curiosity and learning. The toolbox includes clarifying search terms, creating a body of work, exploring ethical teachers, assembling envelopes, organizing themes and data, constructing useful outlines, seeking feedback, and producing writing not just for a grade, but to produce mastery. Strongly influenced by Indigenous methodologies, epistemologies, and pedagogy, Growing a Writing Practice provides an opportunity to decolonize writing.

Current Issues of Methodology of Wholesale Turnover Analysis
Authors: Merab Jikia Merab Jikia , Lia Kozmanashvili Lia Kozmanashvili
Published: May 2024

Wholesale trade is the buying and selling of products in large volume. Products are purchased in bulk from manufacturers and then delivered to retail stores. The transfer of goods from the sphere of production to the sphere of consumption is called commodity circulation. Merchandise turnover, in turn, is divided into wholesale and retail turnover. As a rule, due to the conditions of production and circulation, goods must go through the intermediate links of production, turnkey and trade in order to be brought directly from the production to the consumer. The operations of buying and selling goods between intermediate links are called wholesale turnover.
As a result of wholesale turnover, the goods do not yet pass into the sphere of personal consumption, they continue to circulate in the sphere of circulation, are transferred to the disposal of some retail trade or industrial processing, and then again participate in the circulation of goods.
Thus, in order to bring goods into the retail trade network, intermediary links are needed, which carry out wholesale goods turnover. These are mainly distributors, who play a major role in the organization of goods circulation in the shortest way to bring goods to the retail network, speed up their turnover and reduce circulation costs. It is possible that the manufacturer supplies the goods to the retail store himself and does not have an intermediary (distributor) engaged in wholesale trade.
In the conditions of the market economy, the study of the issues of perfecting the wholesale and retail turnover analysis methodology is one of the topical topics, since these two forms of business (wholesale and retail trade) are important intermediaries of the marketing channel, and in the absence of these two links, the entire chain will fail.

Culture plays an increasingly important role in the economy of countries and is ahead of many other sectors in solving such problems as creating jobs and attracting investments, moreover, culture appears as one of the main stimuli for the development of other sectors of the economy. That is why, in connection with the term culture, the term culture industry is used more and more often. The use of this definition is completely correct, because the projects implemented in the field of culture are becoming more and more fully equipped with all the features necessary for all other commercial projects. It is often the case that the influence of the cultural project on the consumer determines his or her behavior and turns him into a consumer not only of the main object of the cultural project, but also of other products carrying its content and values. The museum appears to be the most important place for the implementation of cultural projects. It is here that there is a continuous relationship between the user and cultural objects, artifacts. The potential of museums in popular countries of the world is utilized to the maximum extent both in terms of implementation of cultural projects and development of the culture industry. Moreover, the opportunities of the world's largest museums are very effectively used by various business sectors to present their brand, product or service and provide intangible values. This circumstance adds even more significance to culture as a factor of the economy and makes cultural projects more interesting in this regard. It is necessary to analyze this situation and present all the features that make the cultural project such a multi-valued event and which in turn will bring maximum benefits to us as a country in terms of economic development - both in terms of content and values, self-identification, and purely economic features.

In the realm of international relations, the significance of culture and soft power is steadily growing, particularly in the establishment of diplomatic ties and the fostering of cooperation among nations. As Georgia progresses in its integration into the European Union—a political and economic endeavor given the union's nature—its motto of "unity in diversity" exemplifies the European commitment to peace, citizen well-being, and the celebration of cultural diversity.
The European Union stands as a prominent example of effective soft power utilization in international relations, with culture representing one of its most intricate integration domains. In the context of Georgia's deepening ties with the EU, a thorough examination of European and developed countries' cultural pathways and experiences becomes imperative. This analysis is essential for Georgia to chart a coherent, unified, and effective cultural policy, both domestically and on the global stage.
Following the European Commission's recommendation on November 8, 2023, Georgia was granted the EU candidate status by the European Council on December 14, officially becoming part of the EU's enlargement policy. Consequently, it becomes even more pertinent for Georgia to scrutinize and understand the EU's cultural policy, a cornerstone of its foreign relations strategy.
The influence of cultural policy on the EU-Eastern Partnership relations emerges as the significant force shaping their development. Cultural cooperation serves as a linchpin, fostering mutual understanding, identity preservation, and the cultivation of shared values.
The analysis of progress and challenges within Georgia-EU cooperation, both bilaterally and multilaterally, offers insight into how cultural relations are cultivated within the Eastern Partnership framework. The EU cultural policy, operationalized through various mechanisms like association agreements and support packages, prioritizes democracy, human rights, and cultural cooperation, adapting to the unique circumstances of each partner country.
Examining the EU's cultural policy within the Eastern Partnership context underscores culture's pivotal role in diplomacy, cooperation, and economic development. Establishing an effective vision centered on cultural cooperation is crucial for Georgia's engagement with the EU, positioning it as a cornerstone of the partnership's success.

The primary task of the engineering service has always been the control and forecasting of the resource of nodes and aggregates of any equipment. Solving such a task made it possible not to incur costs associated with the repair and downtime of equipment. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that most of the agricultural machinery is equipped with diesel engines, the power system of which contains the most complex, expensive and responsible units. The reliability of the fuel equipment determines the stability of power indicators, economic and environmental parameters of the equipment equipped with diesel engines. The smooth operation of the engine depends on the operation of the engine's fuel system, which affects its vibrations, which are harmful both to the machine as a whole and to its ergonomic characteristics. On the other hand, an increase in the amplitude of vibrations indicates a malfunction of the engine, the technical condition of which is 70% dependent on the technical condition of the fuel system. Therefore, the connection of the technical state of the system with the vibrations of the power unit, which are described by the laws of harmonic oscillatory processes, can be used for diagnostic technologies by vibration methods. The article analyses the main causes of abrasive wear of plunger pairs of high-pressure fuel pumps, including the dependence of the wear mechanism on the operating temperature of these parts. The analysis of technologies aimed at increasing the durability of friction pairs, taking into account the material of the surfaces of the friction pairs, the modes of operation of the parts and the properties of the working environment, was carried out. It is proposed to use alternative biodiesel fuel made from vegetable oils as fuel. The use of biodiesel fuel is expected to improve the lubricating properties of precision parts, which will increase their resource, an indirect indicator of which can be a reduction in vibrations. This scientific work presents the results of the initiative research work 0122U002187.
