Authors: Soetjipto Noer , Sulastri Sulastri , Hidayat Arif
Published: April 2022

The application of flexible management through the work from home (WFH) policy has created the potential for quite a lot of community service jobs that have been going on so far. The research which aims to analyze management flexibility is related to the implementation of flexible management with potential delays in work during the Pandemic period where every employee does daily work pickets. Sampling took 52 government employees in the public service sector by purposive incidental sampling. Data were collected through the thurstone scale in the form of closed choice, and analyzed through inferential analysis techniques as a proof of the hypothesis. The results of the study describe the potential for work delays by 50% of employees who take advantage of rotating work days, and 49% of employees who tend not to use the excess flexibility of leadership policies and 64% of employees who may be low or sometimes able to use hours. work during the pandemic. The potential for delays is mostly done by taking advantage of working time or delaying if the employee is outside the daily work picket even though it is still within the effective working hours of the week. The results of hypothesis testing through chi suare obtained a value of 2 of 30.617 (df 6; 5%) obtained a probability value of 0.000 (p < 0.01), which means that there is a very significant correlation between the application of management during the pandemic through work from home activities (WFH). ) with the potential for delaying the completion of public service tasks by government employees in the public service sector.

Authors: Wahdiniwaty Rahma , Firmansyah Deri , Suryana Asep , Dede Dede , Rifa'i Asep Achmad
Published: April 2022

This research aims to find out the secret strategy applied in the marketing management of Mie Ewok Sukabumi Post COVID-19 towards the rise of MSMEs in the digital economy era. This study uses a qualitative approach with qualitative descriptive analysis and uses triangulation techniques to examine the data obtained from observations, interviews, FGDs, literature studies, and field visits. Based on the data that was collected, reduced, and the results of the FGD deepening, the findings from our analysis show that the secret survival strategy applied in Mie Ewok marketing management after COVID-19 towards the rise of MSMEs in the Digital Economy era, starting with personal branding and digital branding, digital media selection, business process strategy, online marketing, sales promotion, digital literacy readiness, and economic literacy. It is hoped that the survival strategy revealed is useful, feasible to be adopted and developed by other MSME actors to be implemented through marketing management by combining adaptability and survival in order to be able to rise again to continue to grow and have high competitiveness in the era of the digital economy. Qualitative descriptive analysis using this triangulation technique has enabled us to conduct an in-depth and detailed analysis of the business sector with the criteria of micro and small enterprises but has a narrow generalization capability for the larger business sector or industry. To overcome this limitation, future research is expected to use surveys covering the medium and large business sectors or other industries to test the findings and theories resulting from this research. The generalizations can be applied more broadly and guaranteed.
The Academic Study of Religion in Bibliometric Perspective
Authors: Wildman Wesley J.
Published: April 2022

Academic conferences are among the most energizing gatherings of scholars and scholarship. When the North American Association for the Study of Religion pivoted to an online format for their 2020 Annual Meeting, a broader audience was able to enjoy the sophisticated social analysis for which NAASR is known. In this issue, NAASR joins the Bulletin as a content-partner in publishing some of the research featured during the meeting. Wesley J. Wildman (Boston University) shares his bibliometric research of social scientific publications in the field. F. LeRon Schults (Boston University) highlights how computational modeling and simulations can be used to examine religious phenomena as well as forecast sociological dynamics. And Daniel D. Miller (Landmark College) posits a framework he calls “queer democracy” to help readers historicize, complicate, and confound the articulation of Christian nationalist politics. Together these contributions speak to currents in theory and method being explored in the North American field.

Qur'an as the Only Constitutive Source of Islamic Law
Authors: Salem Ahmed Ali
Published: April 2022

In The Problem of Dealing with the Prophet’s Sunnah (originally in Arabic), Al-'Alwani proposes a comprehensive and coherent concept of Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah based on the linguistic, Qur'anic and Prophetic usages of the term Sunnah, and argues that a prophet’s saying, action or approval is authentic if evidently rooted in the Qur'an, not only narrated in a correct, honest and accurate way. Al-'Alwani stresses the Prophet’s humanness and contends that the Qur'an proves his fallibility in his ijtihad and corrects it if it was not in full conformity with the Qur'an. Hence, the Qur'an’s authority over the Sunnah. Al-'Alwani links the authentic legislative Sunnah to the Qur'an and denies that one source can abrogate the other because there can be no contradiction between them. He argues that the authentic legislative Sunnah constitutes no laws; rather, it only illustrates the Prophet’s interpretation and implementation of the laws already constituted in the Qur'an. Hence, Al-'Alwani’s argument that the Qur'an is the only constitutive source of Islamic law. He asserts that the Qur'an contains all laws explicitly or implicitly, and the Sunnah is its application. Al-'Alwani sends a clear message in this book, that is, the unity of Muslim Ummah can be reestablished only through the recognition of the Qur'an’s role in life, and the Prophet’s role in implementing it.
Miracles and Madness
Authors: Sevea Teren
Published: April 2022

This article analyzes the hagiographies, poems, oral traditions and miracle stories of an Islamic miracle worker (keramat) buried in Singapore named Sayyid Nuh ibn Muhd al-Habshi (ca.1788–1866). In his physical lifetime and beyond, he was described as a wandering ecstatic who adored children and burgled businesses, yet attained a reputation as “prophet” and keramat by performing miracles, healing the incurable and flying in and out of prisons and across the Indian Ocean. With appreciation for the historicity embedded in miracle stories, this article examines the Tamil devotional poems and songs, and the Malay hagiographies and oral traditions that commemorate this keramat. Attention is also paid to the historical concerns of his hagiographers, many of whom attempted to appeal to audiences informed by secularism, rationalism and “Wahhabism” by writing Islamic histories about this “Arab” Sufi master and the Sufi networks that operated in the Southeast Asian port city of Singapore at a time when it was dominated by western power. This article is thus concerned as much with the storytellers as with the miracle workers and members of devotional communities in nineteenth-century Singapore, all of whom are susceptible to being forgotten in academic historiography. By drawing upon ethnographies and newspaper reports about this prophet, saint, felon and “madman,” and discussing his mausoleum, which has remained intact in the face of war, colonialism and post-colonial infrastructural development, the article argues that the story of Sayyid Nuh is a history of Singapore Islam. A history that is interwoven with histories of the Indian Ocean, maritime Sufism, colonialism, capitalism and structural inequalities that were temporarily overcome by miracles. This is moreover a story of miraculous narratives, devotional cultures, social memories and sacral places that are often pushed to the margins of religious studies but refuse to “fade into folkloric oblivion.”
A response token as an interactional resource for topic closing in Korean conversation
Authors: Ha Kyoungmi
Published: April 2022

This study investigates the discourse and sequential roles of the response token kuleh-kwuna (‘I see’) in ordinary Korean conversation using the conversation analytic (CA) approach. Regarding closing sequences in English conversation, studies have shown less-abrupt ways of closing a topic by using figurative expressions, response tokens indicating shift-implicativeness and assessment (Beach, 1993; Drew & Holt, 1998; Goodwin & Goodwin,1992; Jefferson, 1984). In line with these studies on closing sequences, and furthering the previous studies of the sentence-ending suffix-kwuna, this article argues that Korean speakers often use the response token kuleh-kwuna as a resource to close a topic of conversation less abruptly. A speaker’s complete understanding of the received information and the implication of not needing further information indexed by kuleh-kwuna provide a suitable environment in which speakers can move on to the next sequence of a conversation.
Conditionals and clause order
Authors: Lee Chang Bong
Published: April 2022

This article aims to shed new light on our understanding of the role of clause-order choice in conditionals by presenting an account of the construction of postposed -myen sentences in Korean. The article argues, unlike Lee (1996), that speakers of Korean have a choice of clause order in conditionals in spoken discourse, and they are motivated to postpose the -myen clauses for diverse discourse-functional reasons, such as to make the discourse structure and flow smooth, interactive, and coherent to the hearer. This study strongly implies that conditionals should be understood in the context of a dynamic interaction between the speaker and the hearer in the flow of discourse as their syntactic form interacts with diverse dynamic discourse factors.
Research on mitigation in the Chinese language
Authors: Querol-Bataller María
Published: April 2022

Mitigation is one of the central topics in research on pragmatics and discourse analysis. Nevertheless, some questions about its description remain. In addition, if most of the research on mitigation concerns occidental languages, its description could be conditioned by a Eurocentric perspective. It would be necessary, therefore, to adopt a broader perspective to verify the universality of this category and how it works. Consequently, it is essential to promote research on mitigation in other languages, such as, for example, Chinese. In order to do so, the aim of this work is to present a literature review of mitigation in the Chinese language. The review includes not only the results of such studies, but also their methodology because it aims to achieve two secondary goals: to highlight which aspects of mitigation in Chinese need to be reviewed or studied in more depth, and to identify what methodological aspects should be taken into consideration to achieve the desired results. The studies reviewed are divided into three subtopics: mitigation research in speech acts studies, mitigation research in specific communicative contexts, and, finally, studies about specific mitigation resources.
Cross-disciplinary perspectives on research article introductions
Authors: Cheng Winnie , Lam Phoenix , Yung Amos H W
Published: April 2022

In academic writing, stance reporting is used to reflect the position of the writers towards the literature in order to establish the niche and value of the research. Cross-generic and cross-disciplinary studies of reporting verbs have been conducted on hard and soft disciplines, and yet the specific functions of reporting verbs in different sections of an academic genre across disciplines remain unexplored. This study examines and compares the use of reporting verbs in the introduction section of research articles published in high impact journals in the disciplines of psychology, radiology, and linguistics. A combination of the Create-a-Research-Space (CARS) model on analysing research article introductions by Swales and Feak (2004) and a functional taxonomy on reporting verbs by Hyland (2002) has been used to examine discipline-specific stance reporting constructions in the introduction sections of 142 research articles of the three disciplines. Findings suggest that the choice of reporting verbs is not only discipline specific but also depends on the section (and sub-section) in which such reporting verbs are employed.

Going Around and Connecting Dots
Authors: Wooding Jonathan M.
Published: April 2022

Pilgrimage tourism is a growing phenomenon in Britain. Across the last few decades it has inspired the construction of pilgrimage trails—frequently named after saints—in the region identified as “Celtic Britain”. Many of these trails link together well-documented artefacts, such as landscape monuments and church buildings, which act as waypoints or stations, along routes inspired by narrative models of pilgrimage. There is considerable interest in studying the reception of such data through their use in trails. Questions of historicity arise from claims made for the nature of early medieval Christianity. Although deconstructing these claims could seem to be mainly an academic priority, it may also contribute to diversifying the visitor experience over the longer term. The use of scholarly data in pilgrimage trails can also serve as a measure of the impact of religious history research upon economic and parochial life.
Rembrandt’s Portraits and the Contemporary Spiritual Care Encounter
Authors: Topper Elizabeth
Published: April 2022

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669), the Dutch painter, printmaker and portraitist, is frequently listed as being among the greatest of all visual artists. His portraits, in addition to their undeniable technical virtuosity, seem to be illuminated by an extraordinary light that evokes a spiritual dimension. This article explores what can be extrapolated from Rembrandt’s empathetic portraiture with a view to positively impacting the spiritual care encounter. It describes Rembrandt’s ongoing process of introspection and his concomitant ability to bear witness to his sitters, as evidenced by his compassionate portrayals of their vulnerable humanity. A contemporary insight into the empathetic reading of faces, as reflected in portraiture, is demonstrated through a comparative analysis of several portraits from the 2020 “Portraits for NHS Heroes” project during the COVID-19 epidemic.
