Authors: Putra Nur Astaman
Published: November 2022

Berdasarkan kajian dalam Al Qur’an, Hadits dan teori-teori serta hasil penelitian, dikemukakan bahwa agama memiliki hubungan terhadap keputusan berwirausaha. Secara khusus, agama Islam sangat kondusif memerintahkan umatnya untuk berwirausaha. Dengan demikian, bukti-bukti empiris menunjukkan bahwa agama mempengaruhi perilaku ekonomi, dan memiliki hubungan dengan para pelaku wirausaha. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui wirausaha dalam pinsip kebebasan hukum ekonomi syariah. Metode yang digunakan adalah kajian pustaka (library research) yaitu metode penelitian yang digunakan untuk mempelajari berbagai buku refrensi serta hasil penelitian sebelumnya yang sejenis dan berguna untuk mendapatkan landasan teori mengenai permasalahan yang diteliti. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Islam mengakui adanya kebebasan dalam melakukan kegiatan bisnis/usaha. Namun demikian, Islam juga mengajarkan para pedagang/pengusaha untuk melakukan aktivitas bisnisnya sesuai syariah: menghindari transaksi bisnis yang diharamkan dan menghindari penggunaan harta yang tidak halal, seperti: riba, transaksi spekulatif, menimbun harta, berlebih-lebihan/menghambur-hamburkan uang/berfoya-foya, dan persaingan yang tidak fair.
TÜRKİYE’DE DEVLET VE SURİYELİ MÜLTECİLER: ÇELİŞKİLİ POLİTİKALAR VE ARAÇSAL RASYONELLİK
Authors: İÇDUYGU Ahmet , DEMİRYONTAR Birce
Published: November 2022

Amaç: Bu makalenin amacı Türkiye’nin Suriyelilere yönelik iç ve dış politika alanlarında ortaya çıkan çelişkili politikaları, devletin “araçsal rasyonellik” (instrumental rationalism) bakış açısından kaynaklanan politika tutarsızlığı teorik çerçevesi ile açıklamaktır. Yöntem: Araştırmanın yöntemi, politika belgelerinin ve internet haber sitelerinin sistematik ve kapsamlı bir nitel analizine dayanmaktadır. Makale süreç izleme (process tracing) metodu ile, “araçsal rasyonellik” teorik çerçevesinin Türkiye devletinin Suriyelilere yönelik politikalarını açıklamaktaki geçerliliğini test etmektedir. Bulgular: Bulgular son on senede Türkiye’de devletin Suriyelilere yönelik uyum üçüncü ülkeye yeniden yerleştirme ve geri gönderme politikalarını zaman içinde değişen - hatta çelişen - söylemlerle birbirlerini alternatifi olarak dile getirdiği yönündedir. Başlangıçtaki Suriye’deki krizin kısa süreceği ve gelen sığınmacıların ülkelerine geri döneceği beklentisi ile edinilen “misafir” bakış açısı; daha uzun süre kalacakları anlaşılınca, önce “geçici koruma” statüsü verilerek (2014), sonra da çok sınırlı da olsa “çalışma izni” ve “vatandaşlığına geçiş” sağlanarak (2016) nerdeyse onlar için bir entegrasyon sürecinin öngörülmesine evirilmiştir. 2017 yılından sonra ise devlet söyleminde, Suriyeliler için hızla “geri gönderme” eğiliminin yükselişine tanıklık edilmiştir. 2019 yılında bir yandan bu “geri gönderme” söylemlerinin somut politikalara doğru evirildiği, diğer yandan ise “11. Kalkınma Planı”(2019-23) ve “Uyum Strateji Belgesi ve Ulusal Eylem Planı” (2018-23) gibi temel politika belgelerinde Suriyelilerin entegrasyonu için somut planlamalar yapıldığı görülmüştür. Bu örneklerden de deneyimlendiği gibi Türkiye’de devlet sığınmacıların geleceğini çoğul bir dizi politika seçeneği ile uluslararası iltica rejiminde normatif kabul gören üç politika seçeneğine paralel olarak düzenleme eğiliminde olmuştur. Bu politika ve söylemlerdeki iç ve dış politik konjonktüre cevaben ortaya çıkan ani değişiklikler, göç politikalarındaki birbiri ile çelişen uyumsuzluğun, Türkiye’de devletin göç politikalarını araçsal bir rasyonalite ile şekillendirmesinden kaynaklandığını göstermektedir. Ana bulgu bu rasyonalitenin Türkiye’de devletin Suriyeli mülteciler üzerine olan politikalarında bir tutarlılık problemine yol açtığı yönündedir.Özgünlük: Makalenin özgün değeri, Türkiye’de devletin Suriyelilere yönelik ulaşılabilir kıldığı politika seçeneklerine yönelik eleştirel bir bakış açısı sunmasıdır. Türkiye’de devletin Suriyeli mültecilere yönelik, uyum ya da geri gönderme gibi mevcut tüm politika seçeneklerini ulaşılabilir kılma çabası, politika yapıcılar tarafından olumlu bir durum olarak ortaya konulmaktadır. Bu politika tutarsızlığının olası siyasi, toplumsal ve bireysel sonuçları bu makalede irdelenmiştir.

Authors: Shweta Shweta , P.K. Singh
Published: November 2022

A solid-state drive’s garbage collection technique considerably influences the drive’s writing performance and life duration. The garbage collection technique chooses the block to be erased so that the block can be reused. Several techniques, such as hot data identification, enhance the efficiency of garbage collection and impact flash memory access speed and lifespan. This paper proposes a garbage collection algorithm, SGC (Score-based Garbage Collection) which tries to identify data on the basis of threshold into hot and cold blocks then the process is followed by choosing victim block with the help of score for garbage collection. The SGC approach minimises SSD wear frequency and garbage collection overhead, extending SSD life and data reliability. A novel hot and cold identification system helps to reduces program/erasure cycles while increasing identification accuracy, basedon threshold data are clustered into hot and cold. The experimental findings illustrate that the SGC outperforms the existing approach under various benchmarks by reducing the frequency of block wear leveling. The simulation result shows how SGC performs well and lowers the costs, such as the number of copy and erase operation done, wear on the block, and energy consumption.Improvement percentage for wear leveling is calculated for input traces exchange, financial 1 and financial 2. For exchange trace our policy outperforms CB,CAT,GR and CATA by 19.04%,15.0%,37.03% and 10.5% respectively.

Impact of the Land Use Act on Land Tenural System in Nigeria
Authors: Derri Damfebo K , Egemonu  Josephine Nkeonye
Published: November 2022

Purpose: Before the advent of the Land Use Act in 1978, individuals, families and communities owned land absolutely according to customary law. Thus, the family or community was free to give out their land to deserving members of the family or community or even to outsiders as the case may be. Where an individual was the absolute owner of the land, he was free to deal with it in any manner he liked. Therefore, the individual, family or community exercised all incidents of ownership without restrictions. All these were altered when the Land Use Act was promulgated. The extent to which this Act affected the existing land tenural system in Nigeria is discussed in this article. This article critically analyses the land tenure system under both conventional land law and customary land tenure in Nigeria.

Methodology: Applying doctrinal research methodology, it uses some available resources in some Nigerian libraries, both online and offline.

Findings: It concluded that the provisions of the Land Use Act have severe consequences on land tenural system in Nigeria.

Recommendations: In view of the challenges highlighted in the Act, this article recommends among other things that the State Governors need to improve and quicken the process of issuing certificates of occupancy and payment of adequate compensation after revocation of tittle to land to forestall unnecessary litigation  and that there should be a land reform that recognizes the rights of individuals or communities to land either freehold (indefinite absolutely) or for a relatively long-term duration. This will ensure a genuine free market economy.
An Examination of the Nigerian Gas Law and Policy: Facilitating Domestic Gas
Authors: Timitimi Bodisere T
Published: November 2022

The Federal Government of Nigeria based on its sizable gas reserves, identified the need for accelerated development of the gas industry as a focal strategy for achieving the national aspiration of aggressive GDP growth. Endowed with energy resources, Nigeria has about 188tcf of proven reserves. Active power plants are mainly gas-fired, but they face feedstock shortages, as a result of a dearth of infrastructure investment. Nigeria’s gas industry is still in its infant stage unlike the UK and US. Oil and gas companies have historically flared natural gas into the environment mainly because it was considered an oil by-product and not an economic product. The development of a domestic market today is the top of the government's agenda. The Federal Government recently approved the Nigerian National Gas Policy 2017. The goal as highlighted in the policy is the commercialization of gas to boost the economy, electricity undoubtedly being central to economic growth. This paper discusses, gas pricing, unbundling and open access and the Domestic Gas Obligation. The purpose of this study is to highlight various areas of improvement and provide an analysis of existing laws and policy. Results suggest that market liberalization and increase in private sector involvement are the two strengths agreed upon. In addition, the participants concur on the importance of increasing share of LNG in the total natural gas supply.

Published: November 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to find the determinants of book piracy in Nairobi County.Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive research design. This study was conducted in Nairobi County. The target population of the study consisted of local book publishing companies, book law enforcing agencies/book trade organizations and book users. The research consisted of twelve publishing companies, fourteen law enforcing organizations in which Senior Investigating Officers, Investigating Officers and Prosecutors were involved in the research, and one hundred and twenty four text book users as sets of units in my data analysis. A simple random sampling approach was used in the study to come up with the sample. This is because the researcher wanted to get information from large groups of people. The study used primary data which was collected using structured and unstructured questionnaires from the field. The questionnaires were administered through drop and pick method. The questionnaires format were standardized with a balanced mixture of both open ended and close ended questions and were  guided where necessary.Results: The research findings showed that demand side, supply side and legal/legislation side have positive and significant effects on book piracy in Nairobi County. The study concluded that parental purchase books and course books are in large demand in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions of education but their high prices make them unaffordable for poor students. This situation provides room for book piracy. Book pirates are free to fulfill market needs.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that the law enforcement authorities like police needs to be imparted with proper training in copyright fields and copyright industry associations/copyright societies should launch an extensive campaign through print and electronic media highlighting the adversities associated with the piracy.

For instance, the government should put in place security mechanisms such as firewalls and passwords.
INFLUENCE OF EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATION ON SERVICE DELIVERY: A CASE OF NAIROBI CITY WATER AND SEWERAGE COMPANY, NAIROBI CITY COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Motieri Stanely Ontiri , Minja Prof. David
Published: November 2022

Limited employee participation witnessed in the public sector has persistently resulted in poor service delivery. Therefore, employee participation should take centre stage as it constitutes a powerful force for re-energising service delivery. However, this has not been the case at NCWSSC as evidenced by the poor water supply and sewerage services delivered to the residents of the city. The following objectives guided the study; to examine the influence of direct individual-based employee participation on service delivery at Nairobi Water and Sewerage Services Company. To examine the influence of financial participation on service delivery at Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company. The study was guided by the goal-setting theory and participatory management theory and stakeholder theory. The research adopted a descriptive research design. The study targeted 240 employees at Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company. The sample population for the research was148 personnel at the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company headquarter at Industrial Area. The study relied on primary data that was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. The collected data was entered into SPSS 23 for subsequent descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study indicated there is a statistically significant influence of employee participation on service delivery. The results of the correlation analysis indicated there was a strong positive association between direct participation and service delivery p= .721. The results also indicated a weak negative association between financial participation with service delivery as indicated by p-value = -.005 respectively. The study recommended that the management should incorporate more financial-based reward and recognition systems as well as foster the adoption of indirect employee participation tools. The organization should further empower employees to be task-solvers and involve them more in participative decision making and delegation of duty.

Authors: Otieno Moses Ochieng , Muiruri Lillian , Kawila Caroline
Published: November 2022

Purpose: This was a study based on Health Information Systems pillar. The study sought to explore factors related to quality data which influence health information utilization in making decision among healthcare managers in Mombasa County.Methodology: This was a Descriptive Survey Study design where desired data was obtained from selected respondents by semi-structured questionnaires. The research targeted a total of 303 healthcare managers in Mombasa County which comprised of 21 County Health Management Team (CHMT) members, 56 Sub-county Health Management Team (SCHMT) members from the four sub-counties, 43 facility In-Charges from the 43 public health facilities and 183 Heads of Departments (HODs). A sample size of 91 healthcare managers was used in the study. This was 30% of the target population and were randomly selected. A response rate of 98.9% was achieved. Descriptive and Inferential analysis was done. Data was analyzed with SPSS version 23.Findings: Results revealed that quality data factors (β4 = 0.298; t = 4.079; p < 0.01) were significant predictors of health information utilization in making decision among healthcare managers in Mombasa County. These results imply that improvement in these variables (data accuracy, completeness and timeliness) will enhance health information utilization. How these variables are accomplished influence the level of health information utilization in making decision.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: When the study recommendations are implemented, there will be assured quality data which will assist in coming up with the design of disease prevention, interventions and to monitor and evaluate the progress made on the measures put in place. By doing so, the study will have validated the theory of Evidence Based Health Information System by Carbone, (2009), on which the study was anchored. Quality data is, therefore, not only crucial in securing health status description, service coverage, and performance, but also inspires confidence in the HIS among healthcare managers. The study recommends that the MOH introduces HMIS as a subject in the pre-service curriculum of all healthcare cadres in order to improve HIS. Mombasa County Government should ensure that quality data is generated (with regards to accuracy, completeness and timeliness) at all levels of the health systems for purposes of accountability and more importantly its utility to improve healthcare programs, to survive and prosper in the current dynamic healthcare environment

Authors: Nguyen Van Kiet , Nguyen Thi Phuong Nhung , Tran Thu Hang , Nguyen Hoang Luong
Published: November 2022

In this report, superhydrophobic and omniphobic coatings were produced by a combination of creating a ZnO micro/nanostructure on the carbon steel surface and coating a low surface energy material. Before reducing the surface energy with 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane, the steel surface was electrodeposited by a micro/nanostructured ZnO layer for a controlled deposition time. The process resulted in the steel surfaces being superhydrophobic (contact angle of 165 ± 2o) and omniphobic with white oil, diesel oil (contact angle of 135 ± 2o) and paraffin (contact angle of 127 ± 2o). The properties of superhydrophobic/omniphobic steel surfaces were then fully analysed by SEM, XRD, FTIR and contact angle measurements.

Published: November 2022

Ucapan merupakan salah satu peristiwa bahasa yang melibatkan penyampaian maklumat yang mampu mencerminkan hubungan sosial. Hubungan sosial ini boleh digambarkan menerusi penggunaan modaliti tertentu. Sehubungan dengan itu, makalah ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti penggunaan modaliti oleh Perdana Menteri Malaysia Kelapan dalam teks ucapan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) dan menjelaskan hubungan sosial yang dibina berdasarkan penggunaan modaliti tertentu. Sebanyak lapan teks ucapan telah dimuat turun menerusi laman sesawang rasmi Pejabat Perdana Menteri (https://www.pmo.gov.my/speech/). Pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif telah diterapkan bersama teori analisis wacana kritis yang dibangunkan oleh Fairclough (2013). Hasil penelitian mendapati bahawa sepuluh jenis modaliti telah digunakan, iaitu modaliti ‘boleh’, ‘dapat’, ‘nak’, ‘mesti’, ‘mungkin’, ‘perlu’, ‘ingin’, ‘hendak’, ‘pasti’ dan ‘mahu’. Modaliti yang digunakan oleh pewacana juga mempunyai dua tujuan, iaitu untuk memberikan perintah dan menyampaikan informasi. Berdasarkan perbandingan, modaliti informatif lebih banyak digunakan berbanding dengan modaliti perintah. Penggunaan modaliti informatif telah membuktikan bahawa pewacana cenderung membina hubungan sosial yang santai dengan pendengar apabila menyampaikan maklumat. Penggunaan modaliti perintah juga menunjukkan bahawa pewacana turut membentuk hubungan sosial yang tegas dengan pendengar apabila mengusulkan permintaannya. Secara jelas, kajian ini bukan sahaja menganalisis aspek bahasa semata-mata, tetapi turut menjelaskan cara bahasa disusun atur oleh kerajaan untuk menyampaikan maklumat ketika negara mengalami darurat kesihatan global.
Multi-Stream Fast Fourier Convolutional Neural Network for Automatic Target Recognition of Ground Military Vehicle
Authors: Awujoola Olalekan J , Odion P. O. , Evwiekpaefe A.E. , Obunadike G.N.
Published: November 2022

The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is very useful in both military and civilian applications due to its 24/7, all-weather, and high resolution capabilities, as well as its ability to recognize camouflage and penetrating cover. In the field of SAR image interpretation, target recognition is an important research challenge for researchers all over the world. With the application of high-resolution SAR, the imaging area has been expanding, and different imaging modes have appeared one after another. There are many difficulties with the conventional understanding of human interpretation. There are issues like slow movement, a lot of labor, and poor judgment. Technology for intelligent interpretation needs to be developed immediately. Although deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have proven extremely efficient in image recognition, one of the major drawbacks is that they require more parameters as their layers increase. The cost of convolution operation for all convolutional layers is therefore high, and learning lag results from the inevitable rise in computation as the size of the image kernel grows. This study proposes a three ways input of SAR images into multi-stream fast Fourier convolutional neural network (MS-FFCNN). The technique elaborates on the transformation of rudimentary multi-stream CNN into MS-FFCNN. By utilizing the fast Fourier transformation instead of the standard convolution, it lowers the cost of image convolution in CNNs, which lowers the overall computational cost. The multiple streams of FFCNN overcome the problem of insufficient sample size and further improve the long training time while also improving the recognition accuracy. The proposed method yielded good recognition accuracy of 99.92%.
