DİNÎ MİRAS VE SİYASÎ ÇEKİŞMELER: DOĞU TÜRKİSTAN’DA SÛFÎ HOCALAR
Authors: Tuncer Tekin
Published: June 2024

Doğu Türkistan, özellikle Yarkend Hanlığı döneminde önemli bir tarihsel süreç yaşamıştır.
Bu hanlık, günümüzde Çin’in Sincan Uygur Özerk Bölgesi olarak bilinen ve Doğu Türkistan
adıyla anılan bölgeyi kontrol etmiş; Kaşgar, Yarkend ve Hoten gibi önemli şehirleri bünyesinde
barındırmıştır. Yarkend Hanlığı, aynı zamanda İslam kültürü ve bilimlerinin merkezi haline
gelmiş, medreseler, camiler ve kütüphanelerle donatılmıştır. Bu dönemde, Yarkend Hanlığı
bölgedeki diğer Türk-Müslüman devletlerle sıkı ilişkiler kurarak, siyasi ve askeri ittifaklar
oluşturmuş ve böylece varlığını güçlendirmiştir. Ancak, zaman zaman Moğol kabileleri ve Çin
İmparatorluğu gibi dış tehditlerle de mücadele etmek zorunda kalmıştır. Bu çalkantılı dönem,
Doğu Türkistan’ın tarihsel ve kültürel mirasının şekillenmesinde önemli bir rol oynamıştır.
Bu tarihsel zenginlik ve kültürel çeşitliliğin yanı sıra, Doğu Türkistan’ın dini liderleri de
bölge üzerinde derin etkiler bırakmışlardır. Mahdûm-ı Azam Hoca Ahmed el-Kâsânî, 16. yüzyıl
Doğu Türkistan’ında, Nakşibendî tarikatının Kâsânîyye kolunun lideri olarak ön plana çıkmış
bir Sufî liderdir. Bu rolüyle bölgesel dinî ve siyasî yapılar üzerinde derin etkiler bırakmış,
dinî öğretileri ve kültürel yenilikleri aracılığıyla sosyal ve ekonomik hayata yön vermiş,
aynı zamanda, bölgenin dinî ve sosyal dokusunda köklü değişiklikler yapmayı başarmıştır.
Kâsânîyye Tarikatı, Hoca’nın geniş aile yapısı ve sadık müritleri sayesinde geniş bir coğrafyaya
yayılmıştır. Kâsânî’nin on üç oğlu ve dört eşi, tarikatın etkilerinin aile içinde ve bölgesel olarak
hissedilmesine önayak olmuştur. Bu yayılım, Mahdûm-ı Azam ve onun çocukları aracılığıyla
çeşitli dinî ve siyasî rollerin üstlenilmesiyle pekişmiştir. Özellikle, Hoca İshak gibi figürler
tarikatın manevî yüceliği ve liderliğini güçlendirerek, sosyal ve kültürel yapılar üzerinde
derin bir etki bırakmıştır. Mahdûm-ı Azam’ın ölümü, miras üzerindeki iktidar mücadelesini
tetiklemiş, özellikle farklı annelerden olan iki oğlu arasında sert bir rekabete yol açmıştır. Bu
rekabet, Akdağlı ve Karadağlı Hocalar Cemaati olarak bilinen fraksiyonlar arasında bir ayrım
oluşturarak, bölgesel dinî ve toplumsal yapılara yön vermiştir.
Yarkend Hanlığında yaşanan sürtüşmeler, sosyal yapı üzerinde derin etkiler bırakmıştır. İki
cemaat lideri arasındaki iktidar mücadelesi, siyasî ve dinî liderlik konusunda çekişmelere sebep
olmuş, toplumsal ve dinî grupların daha da ayrışmasına neden olmuştur. Bu süreç, cemaatler
arası çatışmalarla bölgenin genel istikrarına zarar vermiş, Yarkend Hanlığının sosyal ve siyasî
dengelerini önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir. Rekabet ve çatışmalar, hanlığın son dönemlerinde önemli
bir etkiye sahip olmuş ve bölgeyi istikrarsız bir döneme doğru yöneltmiştir. Bu iç çekişmeler,
bölgenin Cungarların ve daha sonra Çin’in müdahalesine açık hale gelmesine neden olmuş, bu
durum Yarkend Hanlığının sonunu getirmiştir

Published: June 2024

The thought-provoking misdemeanour of some commercial banks nose-diving into a financial crisis, even after presenting seemingly good yearly performance reports, motivated this study. Thus, the study was carried out to examine the relationship between earnings persistence and the financial sustainability of commercial banks in Nigeria. This relationship was examined after controlling for leverage, interest rate and firm size of the commercial banks. The ex-post facto research design was adopted in the study. Data were obtained from the annual reports of 12 selected, listed commercial banks in Nigeria from 2012 to 2022. The multiple regression technique was used to test the hypothesis of the study. The results of the analysis revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between earnings persistence and the financial sustainability of commercial banks in Nigeria (t = 4.318, p = 0.000, p < 0.05). Based on this finding, it was recommended that commercial banks should strive to enhance their earnings persistence by increasing their operational efficiency.

The study investigated the effect of the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) on the welfare of retirees of tertiary institutions of education in the Southwestern zone of Nigeria. Using the Taro Yamane formula and a multi-level sampling technique, a sample size of 125 retirees was obtained from three tertiary institutions of education in the Southwestern part of Nigeria as follows: Osun State College of Education, Ilesa (41), Lagos State University of Education, Lagos (36) and Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo (48). The main instrument of data collection was a set of questionnaire which was administered to the retirees to collect relevant data. The instrument was validated and its reliability coefficient calculated to be 0.82 using the Cronbach Alpha formula. The data collected was analysed using the Chi-square and the one-sample t-test statistics. The results showed that the contributory pension scheme did not have significant effect on the welfare of the retirees (t = .207, p < 0.05). Useful recommendations were made based on this finding.
The Necessity of Virtue in the Search for the Ultimate Goal of Human Life: Aristotle in Dialogue With the Contemporary World
Authors:   Department of Philosophy Akwa Ibom State University, Udo Inameti L. , Essiet Solomon ,   Hochschule fur Philosophie, Munchen, Germany
Published: June 2024

This study analysed Aristotle’s dialogue on virtue as a necessity for the ultimate goal of human existence. Aristotle (384-322 BC) argued that virtue is indispensable for the attainment of the ultimate goal of human life resulting from contemplation. He identified it as eudaimonia, translated to mean happiness (living well or faring well). He contended that living according to the virtues translates to living in tune with human nature which guarantees true happiness. However, a cursory look at our contemporary society reveals that the necessity of virtue has been greatly undermined while what guarantees true happiness has also been misconstrued. In such a situation, there is a growing concern within the moral community as to how the knowledge of good impacts our emotions and sense of reason; hence, reemphasizing the place of virtue in attaining the goal of a good human society is indisputable. Through effective application of the method of analysis, this work attempted to outline Aristotle’s arguments which speak in favour of the necessity of virtue. The objective was to defend the practice of virtue as an indispensable component of the happy life notwithstanding different objections to the necessity thesis. In conclusion, the argument was sustained that the thesis of the necessity of virtue which Aristotle defended in antiquity still has something to tell us today. Therefore, contemporary accounts of the good or happy life should prioritize virtue.

Published: June 2024

The paper interrogated the hydra-headed monster called examination malpractices and its devastating effects on human resources development with a special focus on service delivery. Descriptive analysis was adopted in this paper and data were sourced through secondary means from journal articles, magazines, newspapers, bulletins, lecture notes, diaries, and the Internet. Systems theory was adopted as a theoretical base of the study. Based on the review of relevant literature, the study revealed that examination malpractice tends to discourage the serious student from putting in their best, discredit certificates, lower productivity and performances, encourage bribery and corruption and lead to the production of quacks, thereby affecting the manpower needs and service delivery of the nation. The study further revealed that examination malpractice promotes square pegs in round holes as they lack the required knowledge and experience to carry out their assignment and professional duties effectively. The study concluded that there is a gap between certificates obtained by the graduates and capacity building of human resources and service delivery in Nigeria. Sequel to the findings, the study recommended among others, that sound educational policy should be put in place to de-emphasize the supremacy of certificates over skills, knowledge and professional competence and students should be made to understand and appreciate hard work, dedication and commitment to studies. Finally, the remuneration of teachers, invigilators and supervisors should be attractive to enable them to give their best to discourage taking bribes.

The study investigated the effects of deficit financing on the Nigerian economy using data that covered 41 years (1981 to 2021). Real gross domestic product (RGDP) was the dependent variable, while government budget deficit financing disaggregated into different sources of budget deficit financing represented the explanatory variables. The ordinary least squares (OLS) regression method was used for the tests and analyses. Results established that both non-bank public sources of deficit financing and banking system sources of deficit financing had positive and significant effects on growth. However, non-bank public deficit financing positively led the Nigerian economy and was followed by banking system deficit financing. Both ways and means and external deficit financing sources were negative and insignificant in influencing the Nigerian economy. Ways and means were third while external deficit financing was fourth in descending order of influence on RGDP growth. The study further applied the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) approach to unit root tests and observed that the variables were integrated at both levels and first difference, leading to the application of the Autoregressive Distributed lag (ARDL) approach to data estimation. The ARDL bounds tests showed that the model specified for the study followed a long-run path and that a long-run relationship existed between the dependent variable and the explanatory variables. The estimation of the long-run and error correction estimation indicated that the independent variables had a time-varying effect on the real gross domestic product of Nigeria. That ARDL estimation of the error correction mechanism also showed that RGDP adjusted rapidly to short-run discrepancies in the long run. Finally, the error correction mechanism showed that external sources of budget deficit financing, non-banking system public deficit financing, ways and means source of deficit financing, gross capital formation, real interest rate and exchange rate, all had robust effects on growth, though with varying directions of influence. Based on the foregoing, the study has recommended deficit financing, more especially non-bank public deficit financing and banking system deficit financing as better options for attaining the much desired rapid and sustainable economic growth of Nigeria as they have been proven to be non-inflationary in practice compared to ways and means and external source of deficit financing over the years.

Published: June 2024

Sustainable economic growth and development may practically be impossible if the indices of growth are not given the required attention that will translate into an enviable sustainability of the fabrics of growth in Nigeria. This has become important given the decline in micro, small and medium enterprise subsector in Nigeria. The essence of this research is thus, to empirically examine the impact of micro, small and medium enterprises on sustainable economic development in Nigeria. The study covered from 2000 to 2020 and annual time series data were sourced from the CBN Statistical Bulletin, World Development Indicator (WDI) and National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The co-integration and ECM frameworks were used. The results showed that the output of micro, small and medium enterprises has a significant and positive impact on the Per Capita Income (PCY), the exchange rate (EXR) has a significant and positive impact on the micro, small and medium enterprises and Prime Lending Rate (PLR) has a negative and insignificant impact on the micro, small and medium enterprises. Thus, from the results, it was recommended, amongst others, the clustering of micro, small and medium enterprises with similar products, to further improve their output and development process vis-a-vis the growth and development of Nigeria.

Geographic Information System (GIS) applications are tools that allow users to create interactive queries (user-created searches), analyse spatial information, edit data in maps and present the results of all these operations. This paper was particularly focused on the application of GIS in the practice of Public Administration. Public Administration is a branch of management sciences that studies how government organizations operate and how they make decisions. The complexity in achieving equitable distribution of government actions as well as implementation of such actions to the public requires a thorough analysis of costs and benefits. Many GIS tools could be useful to public administrators, such as measurement tools, mapping tools, spatial analysis tools, data capturing and management tools. Data management tools allow administrators to organize and manage large amounts of data. Therefore, GIS technology offers a framework for gathering and managing information and improving planning efforts in the public domain for effective service delivery. They are quite available at the disposal of Public Administration experts if they are to successfully meet the challenges surrounding the procedure of planning development.

The study emerged from the abysmal welfare conditions in the Nigerian public university system particularly as it concerns members of ASUU in the University of Uyo. The study sought to ascertain the extent to which trade unionism by ASUU has enhanced the promotion of members of the Union and to examine the role ASUU has played in ensuring the payment of fringe benefits to members. The research adopted Conflict Theory as a theoretical guide. A survey method was adopted for the study. A structured questionnaire and interviews were the instruments used to obtain data from the respondents. A sample size of 301 was selected from the population using a simple random sampling technique. Data for the study were obtained from both primary and secondary sources. A one-way ANOVA statistical method was adopted to test the two research hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that there is no significant relationship between trade unionism and the promotion of the members of ASUU and that the payment of fringe benefits to members of ASUU at the University of Uyo has no relationship with unionism in ASUU. The research recommended that ASUU should adopt a workable mechanism for collaboration with the university management on timely promotion, design a precise template to guide payment of fringe benefits and encourage members to join the Uniuyo Academic Staff Multipurpose Co-operative Society.

Kouluympäristöt ovat aisteille melko kuormittavia ympäristöjä. Aistikuormitusta voi syntyäesimerkiksi vähitellen lisääntyvästä hälystä, häikäisevistä valoista tai sekavista pintamateriaaleista.Samoin liian lähelle tulevat ihmiset tai vaikkapa erilaiset hajut saattavat aiheuttaa aistikuormaa.
Suomalainen lapsi viettää aikaansa alakoulussa 20–25 tuntia viikossa, joten kouluympäristöllä onsuuri merkitys lapsen kokonaishyvinvoinnille. Erityisen tärkeää on muistaa, että aistikuormitus rasittaakehittyviä aivoja, jolloin käytettävissä olevat voimavarat ovat pois jostakin muusta – kuten oppimiseentai rakentavaan vuorovaikutukseen käytettävistä voimavaroista.

Normative Review of Economic Democracy In The Indonesian Sharia Banking Legal Framework
Authors: Riza Hafizi Muhammad , Rahman Zainur
Published: June 2024

This research is a normative review of economic democracy within the legal framework of Indonesian sharia banking. In this context, this article aims to explore how the principles of economic democracy are reflected in the legal regulation of Islamic banking in Indonesia. The research method used is a normative approach involving a literature review and legal analysis of sharia banking regulations in Indonesia. The research results show that bank regulations in Law no. 7 of 1992, Law no. 10 and 21 of 1998, as well as other regulations, consistently promote democratic principles in Indonesia's national financial system. The Indonesian sharia banking institutional system which began in December 1983 marked an important first step in integrating sharia principles into the national banking system. Apart from that, the importance of the prudential principle in regulating sharia banking in Indonesia is also emphasized in this research. The precautionary principle aims to ensure that banks operate legally and in accordance with the principles of sharia law, as well as to protect consumer interests. This research provides valuable insight into how economic democracy is reflected in Indonesia's Islamic banking legal framework. The implications of these findings can be used to increase understanding of the importance of economic democracy in building an inclusive and sustainable financial system in Indonesia.
The Third-party Intervention in Determining Price A comparative study
Authors: Ouda Hussam Oabes , Ridha Prof. Dr. Hussein Abdullah Abdul
Published: June 2024

The absence of legislative regulation in Iraq regarding the issue of third-party interference in determining the price, and the many legal problems raised by this interference, the dispute over the legal jurisprudence in so far its rules is concerned, and the differences in the court's approaches as well motivates us to do this research. The research is done to determine the legal rule so as to set peace among the contact parties. And the study shows that the third party involved in determining the price is any person to whom the effect of the contract is not directed, and his job is considered as a combination of agency and contracting if he receives a payment. However, if it is unpaid, it is subject to the general theory of the contract, because it cannot be compatible with any contract. It also states that the contract associated with this permission is considered a suspended contract on a probable suspended condition, in which the third party determines the price, and whose decision obliges the parties and the court unless he exceeds its proposed authority permitted by the contract or commits a serious error. And the study sums up that the French legislator has explicitly stipulated the possibility of third party intervention in determining the price, while the general rules in Iraqi and Egyptian legislations are relied upon to find the legal basis for its intervention. The study attempts to delve into all the jurisprudential and judicial disputes regarding the spects in the subject of the study to recommend to the legislator by adding legislative texts that provide direct solutions to the problematic area.The study recommends jurisprudence and the judiciary to adopt solutions that would be compatible with available and proposed legislative texts.

It has become clear to us that the simile image is the dominant image in the poet’s collection of poetry (The House of Female Reciters) and that the metonymic image is ranked second in terms of the intensity of its presence after the simile image. The Qur’anic textual reference represents the main tributary to the formation of the image in the House of Female Reciters, while the literary textual image comes in first place. Second after the Qur’an in terms of its presence. Traditional and contemporary poetic attempts represented a clear presence in (The House of Female Reciters), as the textual reference enriched its texts.
The Legal Nature of Emission Rights – International Experience and Vietnamese Law
Authors: Minh Le Thi
Published: June 2024

The carbon emission rights market effectively controls emissions activities and develops the economy. The market's stability will depend on determining the legal nature of the objects allowed to circulate in that market. However, carbon trading markets worldwide have yet to reach a consensus in determining the legal nature of carbon emission rights. The article shows that national laws have different approaches to the legal nature of carbon emission rights in one of the following cases: (i) Just an administrative tool; (ii) Is an object of ownership, which is divided into goods or financial instruments; (iii) Is subject to ownership rights but is limited; (iv) Determined flexibly. The article reviews international experience in determining the legal nature of emission rights. Based on that, the article explores the factors determining the legal nature of carbon emission rights. Specifically, the paper determines that the right to emit carbon qualifies as an asset and should be classified as an intangible asset.

Radiation is currently widely used and routinely applied in medicine. Diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation treatment have grown from their primitive beginnings 100 years ago to modern methods that are regarded as critical tools across all fields and specializations of medicine today. Ionizing radiation's inherent qualities give numerous benefits, but they can also be harmful. Its usage in medical practice requires an informed decision on the risk-benefit ratio. This choice requires knowledge of radiation in general as well as medical skill in specific. This review investigated the risks associated with radiation, their connection to medicine, and the advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. Radioactive substances and radiation are used in medicine, research, and diagnosis. The forms of radiation and their varied impacts on medicine, particularly in the treatment and diagnosis of disorders like cancer, were disclosed by our review's conclusions. It has been demonstrated that mistakes in radiation dosage can result in health issues, hence managing radiation must be done carefully both during research and in practice

Exploring the Impact of Sustainable Economic Growth and Financial Development to Instigate Entrepreneurial Activities for Global Sustainability
Authors: Abaidullah
Published: June 2024

Entrepreneurship stands out in the diverse range of human pursuits, characterized by bold aspirations, steadfast determination, and a transformative mindset. This is the place where hurdles are transformed into bridges, uncertainties drive invention, and fear is replaced by bold jumps. Entrepreneurs use transmutation to convert ordinary things into extraordinary ones, creating paths to growth and sparking positive impact for everyone. This study aims to find the impact of economic growth, trade openness, and human capital on entrepreneurial activities. The study uses Ordinary Least Square (OLS), Fixed Effects (FE), and Generalized Methods of Movement (GMM) estimation techniques to the annual unbalanced panel data of 217 countries from 1999 to 2022. The findings of this study show that economic growth instigate entrepreneurial activities. The GMM results from the table of baseline results show that one-unit change in economic growth brings 0.030 units positive and significant change in new business density which indicates that higher economic growth rate is connected with a higher rate of entrepreneurial activities. It demonstrates that the level of entrepreneurial activities in different economies around the world grows as the economic growth of those economies increases. On the other hand, the results of GMM show that the one-unit change in interaction terms of financial development with economic growth show 0.332 units positive and significant change entrepreneurial activities. These findings indicate that financial development plays an essential moderating role in instigating entrepreneurial activities. The study provides guidance to the individuals, institutions, policymakers, researchers and all the stakeholders who want to take initiatives for business activities.

This study focuses on the existent wide and varying disparities in the level of educational pursuit which cut across gender, geographic locations and economic divide globally. The understanding of this, contributes to the equitable distribution of educational amenities, and to the accurate measure of socio-economic, and human capital development. This study explores the Thiel’s index and the geographically weighted regression, (which are veritable tools for assessing regional disparity indices), in describing the Nigerian context using data from the National surveys of 2008, 2013 and 2018. The study findings reveal a decline in educational attainment status in the Northern region compared to their southern counterpart especially in the North-West. It also reveals an increase in the number of uneducated persons and a growing number of “Out-of-school” children over the years 2008, 2013, and 2018

Published: June 2024

Finite Mixture Model serves as a potent statistical tool for modeling intricate data distributions through the amalgamation of multiple Gaussian components. The aim of this work is to use finite mixture of normal distribution to model data on diabetic patients from Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, Yola, Adamawa State, so as to expose latent sub-groups. The model is first used on synthetic data and subsequently on diabetic patients data. The diabetic data set consists of 553 cases of diabetes mellitus. The variables measured: Age(years), Mass of a patient(kg/meters), glucose level (plasma glucose con- centration, a 2-hour in an oral glucose tolerance test), pressure (Diastolic blood pressure mmHg), insulin (2-hour serum insulin mu U/ml) and class variable (0 or 1) treating 0 as false or negative and 1 treated as true or positive test for diabetes. The synthetic data is obtained from Gaussian distribution. The results showed that there is presence of heterogeneity in the data by showing the presence of 2 sub-groups.
Les condenades de la isla: identidad y agencia político-culturales en la literatura martiniquesa del siglo XX
Authors: Calderón Mendoza Gonzalo Esteban
Published: June 2024

En las diversas denominaciones que se le han venido otorgando a nuestra región (América Latina, Latinoamérica y el…, Abya Yala, Nuestramérica), y en las proyecciones simbólicas que ellas comportan, la aprehensión de la entidad propia del Caribe ˗en sus proporciones prácticas˗ parece tornarse una empresa de inteligibilidad dificultosa: un bamboleo entre la suposición vedada y la ignorancia selectiva. ¿Apóstrofe conveniente? ¿Ítem anexo? ¿Elemento secundario? ¿Subespacio? ¿Subtiempo? ¿Subtítulo?Pensar lo caribeño ˗especialmente lo antillano˗ como parte del devenir continental es imprescindible y acuciante como demanda de justicia social y requerimiento histórico-político: el Caribe nos interpela con paciencia y, también, con desconfianza y sospecha.Como síntoma agudo presenta (a) Martinica; un territorio de ultramar de la república francesa, una prueba coetánea de los avatares y de la genética de la colonización en el flanco del orbe que nos convoca. Atender a ese cuadro clínico, a esa patología, precisa de un ejercicio de justipreciación de las gnoseologías caribeñas en sus propios términos, códigos, contextos y, claro está, narrativas. Porque, si hay honestidad en los proyectos de colectividad y unidad regionales, ha de romperse con el uso interesado y funcional se hace del Caribe como un epígrafe latinoamericano de la idea de la negritud.
Momento Arlt: Milei
Authors: Carbone Rocco
Published: June 2024

La noción de crisis en la escena contemporánea argentina se empalma espesamente con el nombre de un nuevo espacio de poder (la Libertad Avanza), a través del cual se legitimó el gobierno el presidente Javier Milei. El objetivo principal de este trabajo consiste en comprender algunos rasgos del poder fascista inherente a la politicidad del actual gobierno, que asumió en diciembre de 2023. El enfoque que se utilizó apela al diálogo entre realidad literaria y realidad política -recuperando una clásica forma de lectura viñesca- con vistas a entender algunas dimensiones de un modo de acción, de pensamiento, de poder, de ideología de la barbarie, un proyecto reaccionario disfrazado de revolucionario. Los instrumentos que se utilizaron fueron distintas textualidades -históricas, filosóficas, periodísticas, virtuales, visuales- para comprender la historicidad y la contemporaneidad del poder inherente al fenómeno analizado. Como resultado -parcial, pues la experiencia del gobierno de la Libertad Avanza es incipiente- se observa la voluntad de destrucción de la estatalidad popular de tradición emancipadora. Como conclusión y aporte para la escena política emancipadora se propone la creación de un nuevo aparato político de poder.
