Abstract
Political participation in democratic countries, such as Indonesia, is still not considered high during general election. Influenced by various factors, many people choose not to vote “golput” during election. One way to reduce the number of golput is to provide political education to the public. Generation Z, as first-time voters in the 2024 election in Indonesia, should be given political education to reduce the golput-rate during the democratic process. Generation Z is expected to become politically aware of the political situation, the consequences of golput, and the importance of participation in the 2024 election. At the same time, strengthening political education aims to ensure that Generation Z not only becomes political objects but also political subjects. Therefore, the International Relations Program at Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta carried out a project to provide political education in preparation for the 2024 election at a senior high school, Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri (SMAN) 4 Yogyakarta.
 
Keywords: Political Participation, Election, Political Education, Golput, Generation Z.
 
Abstrak
 
Partisipasi politik pada waktu pemilihan umum di negara demokrasi yakni Indonesia masih belum bisa dikatakan tinggi. Dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, banyak masyarakat yang memilih golongan putih (golput) pada waktu pemilu. Salah satunya upaya menguranginya adalah dengan diadakannya pendidikan politik kepada masyarakat. Generasi Z sebagai calon pemilih pemula untuk pemilu 2024 adalah generasi yang patut diberikan pendidikan politik guna mengurangi tingkat golput pesta demokrasi tersebut. Generasi Z diharapkan menjadi generasi yang melek politik terhadap situasi politik, sanksi atas golput, dan pemahaman mengenai pentingnya partisipasi dalam Pemilu 2024. Di sisi yang sama, penguatan pendidikan politik juga dimaksudkan agar generasi Z tidak hanya menjadi objek politik tetapi juga berperan sebagai subjek politik.  Oleh sebab itu, prodi Ilmu Hubungan Internasional, Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta melakukan pengabdian mengenai pendidikan politik menyongsong pemilu 2024 di Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri (SMAN) 4 Yogyakarta.

Authors: Quashie Hélène
Published: March 2023

Cette contribution analyse différents paramètres par lesquels des ressortissants d’Europe et d’Amérique du Nord, incluant des acteurs appartenant aux diasporas africaines, acquièrent des privilèges cumulés par la migration vers le Sénégal. Ces privilèges se mesurent au regard de facilités administratives, du faible contrôle de l’État, et du quotidien local dans lesquelles ces résidents s’inscrivent peu. L’analyse s’intéresse à la constitution d’entre-soi occidentaux, mais souligne aussi leurs fractures sociales et raciales, ainsi que les valeurs et mécanismes de résilience qui construisent des subversions locales face aux rapports de domination globalisés.

Authors: Widodo Urip , Slamet Sugeng , Ramses Ramses , Sudarmadji Sudarmadji
Published: March 2023

Opening Doors to Diversity in Leadership adalah pandangan keras tentang rasisme sistemik di tempat kerja. Penulis memberikan wawasan yang membuka mata tentang hambatan yang harus dihadapi oleh mereka yang terpinggirkan ketika membangun rasa hormat dan otoritas dalam peran kepemimpinan. Buku delapan bab ini mengkaji penderitaan empat kelompok individu yang secara unik kurang beruntung. Kelompok-kelompok ini termasuk penduduk asli, perempuan, penyandang disabilitas, dan minoritas rasial. Kelompok-kelompok ini dikecam dengan kepentingan khusus mengingat fakta bahwa pada 1 Januari 2020, amandemen Undang-Undang Perusahaan Bisnis Kanada mulai berlaku dan membutuhkan tingkat keragaman yang lebih besar di antara populasi yang disebutkan di atas (hlm. 299). Isu-isu dalam konteks membangun keberagaman ke dalam konteks keberagaman didekati dari perspektif segitiga, melihat dinamika yang saling bersinggungan dengan dimensi psikologis, organisasi, dan budaya/masyarakat. Penulis menjelaskan bahwa agar perubahan nyata dan langgeng berlaku, harus ada perombakan besar-besaran dalam masing-masing dari tiga kategori yang dibahas.

Published: March 2023

Background
Using the comparatively new environmental scan methodology, a protocol was developed and conducted to inform the co-design and implementation of a novel intervention to promote mobility among older adults in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The EMBOLDEN program seeks to promote phys-ical and community mobility in adults 55 years and older who face barriers accessing community programs and who reside in areas of high inequity in Hamilton, and to address the following areas of focus: physical activity, nutrition, social participation, and system navigation supports.
Methods
The environmental scan protocol was developed using existing models and drew insights from census data, a review of existing services, organizational representative interviews, windshield surveys of selected high-priority neighbourhoods, and Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping.
Results
A total of 98 programs for older adults from 50 different organizations were identified, with the majority (92) supporting mobility, physical activity, nutrition, social participation, and system navigation. The analysis of census tract data identified eight high-priority neighbourhoods characterized by large shares of older adults, high material deprivation, low income, and high proportion of immigrants. These populations can be hard to reach and face multiple barriers to participation in community based activities. The scan also revealed the nature and types of services geared toward older adults in each neighbourhood, with each priority neighbourhood having at least one school and park. Most areas had a range of services and supports (i.e., health care, housing, stores, religious options), although there was a lack of diverse ethnic community centres and income-diverse activities specific to older adults in most neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods also differed in the geographic distribution number of services, along with the number of recreational services specific to older adults. Barriers included financial and physical accessibility, lack of ethnically diverse community centres, and food deserts.
Conclusions
Scan results will inform the co-design and implementation of the Enhancing physical and community MoBility in OLDEr adults with health inequities using commuNity co-design intervention–EMBOLDEN.

Published: March 2023

Background
Older adults are a particularly vulnerable group to drug use and self-medication. The aim of the study was to evaluate self-medication as a factor associated with the purchase of brand-name and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs in older adults in Peru.
Methods
A secondary analysis was performed using an analytical cross-sectional design of data from a nationally representative survey from 2014 to 2016. The exposure variable was self-medication, defined as the purchase of medicines without a prescription. The dependent variables were purchases of brand-name and OTC drugs, both as a dichotomous response (yes/no). Information of sociodemographic variables, health insurance, and the types of drugs purchased by the participants was collected. Crude prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated and adjusted using generalized linear models of the Poisson family, considering the complex sample of the survey.
Results
In this study, 1,115 respondents were evaluated, with a mean age of 63.8 years and a male proportion of 48.2%. The prevalence of self-medication was 66.6%, while the proportions of purchases of brand-name and OTC drugs were 62.4% and 23.6%, respectively. The adjusted Poisson regression analysis revealed an association between self-medication and the purchase of brand-name drugs (adjusted PR [aPR]=1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01–1.19). Likewise, self-medication was associated with the purchase of OTC medications (aPR=1.97; 95%CI: 1.55–2.51).
Conclusions
This study evidenced a high prevalence of self-medication in Peruvian older adults. Two-thirds of the surveyed people bought brand-name drugs, whereas one-quarter bought OTC drugs. Self-medication was associated with a greater likelihood of buying brand-name and OTC drugs.

Authors: Sarinukul Chawin , Janyacharoen Taweesak , Donpunha Wanida , Nakmaroeng Saowanee , Ruksapukdee Wanida , Sawanyawisuth Kittisak
Published: March 2023

Background
Hypertension is a common disease, particularly in older adults. In a previous study, we found that an eight-week course of stepping exercise improved physical performance in healthy older adults as measured using the six-minute walk test (468 vs. 426 m in controls; p = .01). This study aims to further evaluate the effects of stepping exercise on blood pressure, physical performance, and quality of life in older adults with stage 1 hypertension.
Methods
This was a randomized, controlled trial comparing older adults with stage 1 hypertension who performed stepping exercise with controls. The stepping exercise (SE) was performed at moderate intensity three times/week over an eight-week period. Participants in the control group (CG) received verbal and written (pamphlet) lifestyle modification advice. Blood pressure at Week 8 was the primary outcome, while quality of life score and physical performance on the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), timed up and go test (TUGT), and five times sit to stand test (FTSST) were secondary outcomes.
Results
There were 17 female patients in each group (total of 34). After eight weeks of training, participants in the SE group showed significant improvements in systolic blood pressure (SBP; 132.0 vs. 145.1 mmHg; p<.01), diastolic blood pressure (DBP; 67.3 vs. 87.6 mmHg; p<.01), 6MWT (465.6 vs. 437.0; p<.01), TUGT (8.1 vs. 9.2 sec; p<.01), and FTSST (7.9 vs. 9.1 sec; p<.01) compared to controls. Regarding within-group comparison, participants in the SE also showed significant improvement in all outcomes from baseline, while any such outcomes in the CG were comparable from baseline (SBP: 144.1 to 145.1 mmHg; p = .23; DBP: 84.3 to 87.6 mmHg; p = .90).
Conclusions
The stepping exercise examined is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for blood pressure control in female older adults with stage 1 hypertension. This exercise also resulted in improvements in physical performance and quality of life.
Die Vierhundert Pforzheimer
Authors: Aurnhammer Achim
Published: March 2023

2022 jährt sich zum vierhundertsten Mal die Geburt eines deutschlandweit in allen Medien gefeierten Heldenkollektivs: die vierhundert Pforzheimer Bürger. Der Opfertod der vierhundert Pforzheimer Bürger, die 1622 in der Schlacht bei Wimpfen im Dreißigjährigen Krieg den Rückzug ihres geschlagenen Markgrafen Georg Friedrich von Baden-Durlach deckten, war bis ins 20. Jahrhundert ein wichtiges Datum im kollektiven Gedächtnis der Deutschen. Das bürgerliche Heldenkollektiv wurde im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert deutschlandweit in Dramen, politischen Reden, Gedichten, Erzählungen und bildkünstlerischen Werken zum frühen Kronzeugen eines Verfassungspatriotismus stilisiert, bevor es in der Moderne als Fiktion entlarvt wurde. Abgesehen von einigen noch heute prominenten Autoren wie Ernst Ludwig Posselt und Georg Büchner sind die meisten literarischen und bildkünstlerischen Zeugnisse inzwischen weitgehend vergessen. Dennoch ermöglicht die Rekonstruktion, dichte Beschreibung und Deutung des Heldenkollektivs unabhängig von seinem historischen Wahrheitsgehalt genaue Einblicke in Genese, Funktion und Dekonstruktion einer Heldenlegende, die weit über die regionalen Aspekte hinausgeht. Somit liefert die Fallstudie einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Heldenforschung.

Authors: Otun Sarah , Achilonu Ikechukwu
Published: March 2023

According to estimates, the world’s population is growing at 0.96% yearly, meaning that there will be approximately 7.3 billion people on earth by the year 2050. Consequently, the agricultural sector is demanded to boost production and provide food security for the rising world’s population. Unfortunately, almost 40% of the arable land has been damaged by several factors, such as industrialization, suburbanization, acidification, salinization, and erosion of the soil, environmental pollution, among others, resulting in a global agricultural and economical problem. However, several land recovery techniques have been developed over many years of research, such as the use of chemicals, cultural techniques, and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF). AMF forms a vital connection with the host plants and the soil nutrients and assists in the restoration of damaged agricultural lands. This reviews’ objective includes (i) providing a brief overview of AMF; (ii) highlighting AMF’s role in nutrient management; (iii) reviewing the roles of AMF in the regulation of plant (cassava) development; (iv) explaining the role of AMF in managing abiotic and biotic stressors; (vi) emphasizing the role of AMF in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and (vi) highlighting significant areas within the study of AMF-cassava that has not yet been completely explored.

The Function of Ascorbic Acid through Occam’s Razor: What We Know, What We Presume and What We Hope For
Authors: C. De Tullio Mario
Published: March 2023

After being identified as the anti-scurvy factor vitamin C, ascorbic acid (AsA) became the subject of an astonishing amount of research. Many studies confirmed that AsA is essential to plants and animals, however, the molecular mechanisms by which AsA exerts its action are only in part understood. Much attention has been given to the so-called antioxidant function of AsA, but the concept of antioxidant is in itself rather vague and, at least in some studies, proper quantitative approaches to assess the actual relevance of AsA as an antioxidant are lacking. On the other hand, in the last few decades more and more research focused on the specific function of AsA as a regulatory co-factor of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, a large class of enzymes catalyzing an array of different and apparently unrelated reactions, all sharing a complex mechanism based on the integration of relevant pieces of molecular information. The present contribution aims to critically discuss available evidence in support of current hypotheses on AsA function.

Nature and Happiness Levels: New SWB Domains for Rivers, a Lake, and Forests
Authors: Takahashi Takuya , Asano Satoshi , Uchida Yukiko , Takemura Kosuke , Fukushima Shintaro , Matsushita Kyohei , Okuda Noboru
Published: March 2023

By using a questionnaire survey, we measured nature-related happiness levels, which include specific domains that differ from the overall subjective well-being (SWB) in a Japanese watershed. We regarded nature-related happiness levels, specifically related to rivers, a lake, or forests, as meaningful indices because many people living separated from nature may be unaware of their relationship with nature. We found that nature-related happiness levels had convergent validity and distinct correlation patterns with the explanatory variables, and these patterns were different from those of the overall SWB. These findings support the case of measuring nature-related happiness levels and overall SWB. Nature-related happiness levels were positively correlated with leisure activities and contact with living things. The abundance of rivers in a district is negatively associated with river-related happiness. We speculated that this was due to unidentified disservices associated with the rivers. Lake-related happiness has stronger correlations with relaxation benefits than symbolism, local food culture, art/culture, or water sources. Considering these findings, policymakers should formulate policies based on nature-related happiness levels. Because nature-related happiness levels are not correlated with income level, such policies may contribute to residents’ well-being in an egalitarian manner.

Science gateways are a crucial component of critical infrastructure as they provide the means for users to focus on their topics and methods instead of the technical details of the infrastructure. They are defined as end-to-end solutions for accessing data, software, computing services, sensors, and equipment specific to the needs of a science or engineering discipline and their goal is to hide the complexity of the underlying infrastructure. Science gateways are often called Virtual Research Environments in Europe and Virtual Labs in Australasia; we consider these two terms to be synonymous with science gateways. Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have found applications in many different fields in private industry, and private industry has reaped the benefits. Likewise, in the academic realm, large-scale data science applications have also learned to apply public high-performance computing resources to make use of this technology. However, academic and research science gateways have yet to fully adopt the tools of AI. There is an opportunity in the gateways space, both to increase the visibility and accessibility to AI/ML applications and to enable researchers and developers to advance the field of science gateway cyberinfrastructure itself. Harnessing AI/ML is recognized as a high priority by the science gateway community. It is, therefore, critical for the next generation of science gateways to adapt to support the AI/ML that is already transforming many scientific fields. The goal is to increase collaborations between the two fields and to ensure that gateway services are used and are valuable to the AI/ML community. This chapter presents state-of-the-art examples and areas of opportunity for the science gateways community to pursue in relation to AI/ML and some vision of where these new capabilities might impact science gateways and support scientific research.
The Fundamental Role of Memory Systems in Children’s Writing Skills
Authors: Beatriz Moreno Cecilia , Javier Tabullo Ángel
Published: March 2023

Academic skill learning involves different memory systems. Procedural memory needs repetition, while episodic memories are formed from single events and concepts are stored as associative networks within semantic memory. During writing, various cognitive, phonological and motor processes are executed through working memory; whereas long-term memory provides the knowledge that will be recovered during textual production. Proper functioning of these memory systems -and neural substrates such as hippocampus and temporal cortical areas- are related to effectiveness of composing a text. Recovery of stored knowledge is involved in the course of expressive fluency, allowing the integration of the semantic components. Children who can divide attention and control processes through working memory, are more effective in writing text. During writing, working memory manipulates and keeps linguistic symbols online; the phonological loop admits and retains verbal information and performs a review that allows preserving the representations by commanding the lexical, syntactic and semantic processes. In this chapter, we will refer to the theoretical contribution of long-term and working memory systems to children’s writing skills, we will examine the neural substrates and cognitive development of these systems and we will present empirical evidence of their role in high and low-level components of the writing process.
Perspective Chapter: Edge-Cloud Collaboration for Industrial IoT – An Online Approach
Authors: Shi You , Yang Yuye , Yi Changyan , Chen Bing , Cai Jun
Published: March 2023

In this chapter, we take the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) as the background for studying the energy-saving resource management framework to control the cloud center (CC), edge server (ES), and terminal equipment in a closed loop. In this framework, industrial sensors collect data and transmit it to the ES for aggregation. These data form computing tasks for data analysis. Our goal is to minimize the energy consumption of the whole system while ensuring satisfied data processing accuracy and service delay of all IIoT tasks. We formulate the ES preprocessing mode selection, sensor sampling rate adaptation, and edge cloud computing and communication resource allocation as a joint optimization problem. Due to the random arrival of data and time-varying channel conditions, we introduce an online dynamic algorithm with low complexity, which efficiently solves the problem.
Global Critical Shortage of Nurses: Pathway to Solution
Authors: Bandeali Almas , Maita Zeeba
Published: March 2023

In 2020, the first State of the World’s Nursing (SOWN) report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) revealed global nursing workforce to be at 27.9 million. SOWN estimated a current global nursing shortfall of 5.9 million. Furthermore, 17% of nurses are expected to retire in next 10 years. An estimated 5.3 million (89%) of that shortage is concentrated in low and lower-middle income countries, where the growth in the number of nurses is barely keeping pace with population growth. WHO global Strategic Directions for Nursing and Midwifery (SDNM) 2022 report has identified policy focus interventions for four major areas: education, jobs, leadership, and service delivery. Nurse advocacy groups like International Council of Nurses (ICN) are calling on governments to partner with various healthcare stakeholders to find tangible solutions in addressing global nursing shortage (NS).
Macrophage: From Recognition of Foreign Agents to Late Phagocytosis
Authors: I. Rivas Ortiz Claudia , Isabel Castillo Rodal Antonia
Published: March 2023

The main line of defense that exists to eliminate foreign agents falls on phagocytic cells (neutrophils, dendritic cell, and macrophages), and it does so through phagocytosis, a complex cellular mechanism that occurs after the recognition and binding of the ligand by cellular receptors. Macrophages are part of a diverse lineage of innate immune cells. Once a macrophage receptor binds its ligand, a coordinated intracellular signaling cascade is activated to the clearance or otherwise of the foreign agent. Objects removed by macrophage phagocytosis include dead or dying host cells, cells opsonized with antibodies, and specific pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. Currently, phagocytic macrophages have been shown to contribute to the killing of cancer cells, inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and schizophrenia. For this reason, phagocytic macrophages are important in critical participation for health and disease.
Fuzzy Photogrammetric Algorithm for City Built Environment Capturing into Urban Augmented Reality Model
Authors: Agbossou Igor
Published: March 2023

Cities are increasingly looking to become smarter and more resilient. Also, the use of computer vision takes a considerable place in the panoply of techniques and algorithms necessary for the 3D reconstruction of urban built environments. The models thus obtained make it possible to feed the logic of decision support and urban services thanks to the integration of augmented reality. This chapter describes and uses Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) as computing framework of visual features matching in augmented urban built environment modeling process. It is a combination of the achievements of the theory of fuzzy subsets and photogrammetry according to an algorithmic approach associated with the ARKit renderer. In this experimental research work, part of which is published in this chapter, the study area was confined to a portion of a housing estate and the data acquisition tools are in the domain of the public. The aim is the deployment of the algorithmic process to capture urban environments built in an augmented reality model and compute visual feature in stereovision within FCM framework. The comparison of the results obtained with our approach to two other well-known ones in the field, denotes the increased precision gain with a scalability factor.
Non-Myeloid Cell Phagocytosis
Authors: A. Calvert Ben , L. Ryan Amy
Published: March 2023

As professional phagocytes, myeloid cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils, are often the targets for investigation and analysis of phagocytosis. Phagocytosis, however, has also been observed in nonmyeloid cells, including epithelium, mesenchymal, and smooth muscle cells. Colloquially known as nonprofessional phagocytes, these nonmyeloid cells are capable of phagocytosis of pathogenic material and efferocytosis of apoptotic bodies. Cells, such as those found in the epithelium, are often the primary site for viral and bacterial infection and have evolved to possess strong anti-pathogenic machinery of their own. The processes by which nonmyeloid cells can engage in phagocytic functions have wide implications for tissue homeostasis and disease pathogenesis, including infection and colonization. This chapter will review the phagocytosis capabilities in these nonmyeloid cells.

Authors: Saleh Emad , Mostafa Magdy
Published: March 2023

The research problem is to identify the impact of using information and communication technology (ICT) on developing the creative abilities of social work students. The research employed a descriptive-analytical approach in which a sample of social work students was surveyed. Field data was collected using a scale developed by the researchers to measure the impact of students’ use of ICT on developing their creative abilities. After establishing the validity and reliability of the scale, data collection began in December 2022 when an electronic link was sent to all social work students via the official university mail. After processing the data using SPSS, the results were extracted, and a final research report was written. The results confirmed the students’ high readiness to use ICT, while their reliance on ICT improved their academic and personal performance. In addition, the research results confirmed that students’ use of ICT effectively influenced the development of their creative abilities. As a result, the study recommends that universities should focus on adequately training students and faculty members in the use of various types of ICT and encourage them to use them.
The Beneficial Role of Nuts and Seeds in a Plant-Based Diet
Authors: S. Donaldson Michael
Published: March 2023

In the last several years research has been accumulating that demonstrates that nuts and seeds are beneficial for all people. While some plant-based diet programs have embraced the inclusion of nuts and seeds, other programs have eschewed nuts and seeds, remaining firmly committed to a starch-based dietary pattern. This chapter assembles the scientific evidence regarding the benefits of nuts and seeds into three issues: (1) The nutrient density of nuts and seeds compared to grains and legumes of the same caloric content, (2) The improvement of health outcomes and extra benefits when nuts and seeds are included in plant-based diets, (3) The safety of nuts and seeds when a person is dealing with cancer. As a result of examining these issues with the known scientific evidence it will become apparent that one to two ounces of nuts and seeds daily is a very beneficial part of a plant-based diet.
Social inclusion in museum education : a literature review
Authors: Springinzeisz Kata
Published: March 2023

The aim of this paper is to explore how the concept of inclusion is tackled in the field of museum education. Forty-one empirical articles written in four languages are examined, and the conceptual bases of different types of inclusive museum programs in those articles are identified and analysed. Results show that available research about inclusion in museum education can be classified in four categories: learning, community engagement, training/internship, and health/therapy. The category of learning refers to museum programs in which visitors learn different skills. Community engagement includes programs in which the objective is to invite and engage diverse specific groups of visitors in museum spaces and activities. Training/internship focuses on university training, internships, and museum personnel training. Health/therapy includes articles analysing programs directed to people with dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
Rethinking dialogues in museum spaces : an Amerindian ethnographic collection in Italy
Authors: Bollettin Paride
Published: March 2023

This paper presents some challenges for the reorganization of the ethnographic collection hosted at the Centro Studi Americanistici "Circolo Amerindiano" in Perugia, Italy. Since the collection will move to a new site, the possibility to reformulate curatorship and exhibitory narratives arises. Current claims for more inclusive, decolonized, dialogical and participative experiences of museums and exhibitions highlight the importance for contributions from the people that produced and live with the artefacts, images, and other elements constituting the collections. The aim of this paper is to describe some of the difficulties and possible solutions for making such participation effective in a European collection dedicated to Amerindian peoples.

Invoke Your Lord in Humility and in Secret (Q 7:55): Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī on the Efficacy of Petitionary Prayer
Authors: Chowdhury Safaruk Z. ,   Journal of Islamic Philosophy
Published: March 2023

In this article, I explore the response of the Ashʿarī theologian Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī (d. 606/1210) to what can be called “the problem of the efficacy of petitionary prayers” (PEPP), namely the effectiveness of making supplications to God that involve a request for something. The key text I examine is al-Rāzī’s highly dense philosophical work al-Maṭālib al-ʿāliya min al-ʿilm al-ilāhī, in which he outlines his core objections to the efficacy of petitionary prayer and then addresses them directly. In section 1, I include a short historiography of specific English books on the topic of supplications (duʿāʾ) and consider the relevance of al-Rāzī’s response to the issue of their efficacy. In section 2, I outline the preliminaries necessary and relevant for understanding the discussion that follows. In section 3, I survey al-Rāzī’s view on personal prayers. In section 4, I exam­ine in detail al-Rāzī’s formulations of the arguments (from the Maṭālib) that constitute PEPP, with parallel discussions in his huge exegetical work Mafātīḥ al-ghayb. In section 5, I lay out al-Rāzī’s responses to PEPP from the Mafātīḥ in more depth, and draw on theological views from his other works to help support his arguments in the Maṭālib. In the conclu­sion, I evaluate al-Rāzī’s responses and the wider implications they have on a Muslim’s relation to and understanding of God.
The Conception of Science in Postclassical Islamic Thought (647–905/1250–1500): A Study of Debates in Commentaries and Glosses on the Prolegomenon of al-Kātibī’s Shamsiyya
Authors: Tekin Kenan ,   Journal of Islamic Philosophy
Published: March 2023

In this paper, I examine several commentaries and glosses on the prolegomenon of Najm al-Dīn al-Kātibī’s (d. 675/1276–77) Shamsiyya that relate to debates on the Aristotelian and Ibn Sīnān theory of science in the postclassical period. Chief among the commentaries of the Shamsiyya is Quṭb al-Dīn al-Rāzī’s (d. 766/1365) Taḥrīr al-qawāʿid al-manṭiqiyya. This commentary, rather than the base text of the Shamsiyya, set the stage for later interpretations by Mirak al-Bukhārī (fl. 733/1332), Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Qāshānī (d. 755/1354), Saʿd al-Dīn al-Taftāzānī (d. 792/1390), al-Sayyid al-Sharīf al-Jurjānī (d. 816/1413), Dāwūd al-Khwāfī (fl. 839/1465) and ʿIṣām al-Dīn Isfarāyinī (d. 945/1538). I focus on three issues that were raised in these interpreta­tions of the Shamsiyya’s prolegomenon: (1) the place of the elements of sciences in logical corpus, (2) the notion of the prolegomenon and its content, and (3) the real essence of a science. I attend to the particular debates and contentions on these issues to reveal the general idea of science at that time.
Individual Decisions and Public Trust: The PCAOB and KPMG
Authors: Campbell Katherine , Helleloid Duane ,   Neilson Journals Publishing
Published: March 2023

What might seem like a small ethical transgression by an individual can lead to a series of subsequent decisions, and result in serious fraud. This can not only impact the individuals involved and their organizations, but also erode public trust in firms and institutions. When Brian Sweet left a position with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), an organization that oversees the inspection of audits, and went to work for KPMG, one of the large accounting firms whose audits he had inspected, he took with him confidential information that he thought could prove useful in his new position. Sweet subsequently shared confidential information with his new employer, and over the next two years acquired additional confidential information through contacts at PCAOB. Debra Kaufmann, a KPMG audit partner, was faced with a decision about how to react when Sweet shared confidential information that she believed neither she nor KPMG should have.
Teaching Kohlberg’s Levels of Moral Development: Using Jojo Rabbit to Highlight the Journey
Authors: Lyon Douglas W. , Kusar Mika ,   Neilson Journals Publishing
Published: March 2023

This classroom exercise uses the movie Jojo Rabbit to teach students Kohlberg’s three levels and six stages of moral development. This is a helpful way to teach the concept of moral development because it helps students to visualize the nature of each of the stages and how one might move through them. It is appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate classes in management principles, ethics, organizational behavior, and leadership. The exercise can be completed in a 60 or 90 minute class. Student feedback is very positive.
Heidegger’s Idea of Freedom in Several Secondary Sources
Authors: Doud Robert E. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2023

Heidegger commentator J. L. Mehta includes in his book the following quote from Heidegger: “Der Wanderschaft in der Wegrichtung zum Fragwürdigen ist nicht Abenteur sondern Heimkehr.” Adapting this idea to the purpose of my own project in this article, I propose: Wandering on the Footpath of Freedom is both an Adventure and a Homecoming! The aim of this article is to explore the idea of freedom as it is developed in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. The strategy here is to examine the salient remarks of several commentators, including Mehta, William Richardson, Werner Brock, Charles Guignon, Rüdiger Safransky, and others. Some of the ideas explored here are: transcendence, overtness, authenticity, poetry and resoluteness.
