Kontroversi Hak Asasi Manusia: Studi Penafsiran Mufassir Klasik Dan Kontemporer Mengenai Lgbt
Authors: Muhammad Ikhya Ulumuddin
Published: August 2024

The concept of human rights (HAM) varies widely among different countries due to differences in government forms, cultures, and religions. Searching for 'al-Haqq' or 'al-Huqūq' in Islamic texts does not capture the essence of HAM, as there is no equivalent term in the Quran. Abd Muin Salim suggests identifying HAM-related verses through the particle lām li al-tamlīk, which indicates ownership. The discussion of HAM often includes the debate over legalizing same-sex marriage, with some Muslim scholars supporting it. These scholars argue that homosexual acts are permissible within a marriage or based on mutual consent. This study uses library research to explore human rights issues concerning LGBT according to classical and contemporary scholars' interpretations. A key error made by supporters of LGBT rights is interpreting the word 'syakilah' as 'fitrah' or 'innate.' No classical or contemporary scholars interpret 'syakilah' to mean 'fitrah' or 'innate.'.
Tradisi Mujahadah Usbu’iyah Di Pondok Pesantren Raudlatul Qur’an Metro Lampung (Studi Living Qur’an)
Authors: Muhammad Rifqi Andreanto  , Eka Prasetiawati  , Muhamad Agus Mushodiq
Published: August 2024

This study utilizes the social construction theory of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann to analyze the practices of mujahadah and Qur'an recitation in pesantren. This theory emphasizes that social reality is formed through the processes of externalization, objectivation, and internalization. In the context of pesantren, mujahadah and Qur'an recitation are forms of externalization of the students' religious beliefs, serving as a means to express devotion to Allah and seek inner peace. These practices are then objectified into institutionalized collective rituals, becoming an integral part of the pesantren's social and cultural norms recognized by the entire community. Finally, internalization occurs when students adopt this objectified reality into their consciousness and identity, reflected in their inner peace, increased motivation to learn, and continuous commitment to reading and studying the Qur'an. Through this dialectical process, religious practices not only shape individual identity but also reinforce the social structure of the pesantren. This study demonstrates how the practices of mujahadah and Qur'an recitation in pesantren reflect a complex social construction and how religious values are brought to life and strengthened in the daily lives of the students.
Tertib Potensi Anatomi Manusia Dalam Q.S An-Nahl 78: 16 Perspektif Betrand Russel
Authors: Askar Askar
Published: August 2024

The scientific value of the Qur'an that discusses the creation of humans with the gift of physical completeness is one of the undeniable values. In this case, it is narrated specifically in Q.S an-Nahl 16 (78). The verse is also a scientific legitimization in the realm of modern science that proves the factual values of the Qur'an about the potential that Allah gives to humans in sequence after their release from the womb. Based on this background, the purpose of this research is to prove the existence of isomorphs between the world of al-Qur'anic language and the world of reality. By using Betrand Russel's logical atomism theory analysis to find the isomorph. The result of this research is that there is an isomorph between the world of language in Q.S an-Nahl-16: (78) and the world of reality as proven by modern medical science that the orderly potential of human anatomy is commensurate with what is narrated in Q.S an-Nahl 78: [16].

Published: August 2024

Forensic auditing had a camera upon which several unnoticed crimes could be unveiled in most organizations. No sector could boast of not having been touched by the wave of emerging crimes that are not known to conventional crimes. The Nigerian public sector is of interest considering the waves of fraud, mismanagement, and abuse of power office that have resulted in the misuse of public funds and which ordinarily would have been exposed using the expertise of forensic investigations auditing and investigations. The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) under the watch of a former minister was investigated for misappropriations that an ordinary audit could not reveal (Oluwafemi, 2023); the former accountant-general of the federation (Harrison, 2022); and several others. The contemporary issues around Nigerian forensic audit has been recorded majorly in the public sector with several events requiring the increasing demand for forensic auditors. This research paper discussed some of the challenges that forensics auditors and investigators face in the profession and possible strategies to overcome them. The research concluded that while forensic auditing and investigation practices have continued to evolve in Nigeria, it is not properly institutionalized as a result of a lack of regulations surrounding the practice, and no standardized methodologies or frameworks that have been tailored to the Nigerian business environment. Data analytics, big data, blockchain technology, and AI are currently discussable in the field of forensic auditing and investigation and are still a challenge to Nigerian professionals as not only does the field lack professionals, but it equally lacks the understanding and the usefulness of the use of modern technologies.

AS DECISÕES DOS TRIBUNAIS E POSSÍVEIS SOLUÇÕES À GUARDA COMPARTILHADA EM CASOS DE VIOLÊNCIA DOMÉSTICA
Authors: Jacinto Susana Glória dos Santos Moreira , Feitosa Francisco Walef Santos , Chaves Jéssica Mayara Gomes
Published: August 2024

This article analyzes how the issue of shared custody in cases of domestic violence has been approached and decided by Brazilian courts. The study covers legislation, doctrine and jurisprudence to understand the practical application of the relevant laws. The Civil Code of 2002 and Law 13,058/2014, which establish shared custody as a rule, are discussed, but the recent Law 14,713/2023 significantly changed the rules, prohibiting shared custody in cases of domestic violence. Historically, Brazilian civil legislation has always prioritized the protection of minors, establishing that custody can be unilateral or shared. Shared custody, where both parents have equal responsibilities and rights, was the general rule, except in specific cases such as domestic violence, where the law previously allowed sole custody when justified. With the introduction of Law 14,713/2023, shared custody was prohibited in situations of domestic violence. This legislative change aims to protect children and victims of violence, ensuring that the aggressor cannot have joint custody. The article cites court decisions that confirm the prevalence of shared custody as a general rule and exceptions in cases of violence. In summary, Law 14,713/2023 represents a significant advance by prohibiting shared custody in cases of domestic violence, reflecting the need to protect victims and guarantee the safety of children. The article concludes that, despite improvements, there are still challenges in applying and raising awareness of legal changes.

Authors: Сірий Дмитро , Молчанова Катерина , Дев’яткіна Світлана
Published: August 2024

Одним з найнебезпечніших видів перехідних процесів, які відбуваються в енергосистемі, є короткі замикання. Коротке замикання супроводжується різким збільшенням струму. При цьому розрізняють трифазне симетричне коротке замикання, двофазне (несиметричне) коротке замикання, коротке замикання на землю в системі із глухозаземленою нейтраллю та двофазне коротке замикання на землю в системах із глухозазамленною нейтраллю. Саме при трифазному симетричному короткому замиканні спостерігається найбільше значення струму короткого замикання. Тому вміння визначати струми короткого замикання і враховувати характер їх зміни у часі, дає можливість забезпечити надійну роботу енергосистеми і запобігти пошкодженню обладнання швидким відключенням пошкодженої ділянки.

AI-driven HR solutions offer innovative approaches to identifying, recruiting, and retaining high-quality teaching staff, thereby directly influencing the educational environment and student performance. This paper explores the transformative impact of AI on HR management in educational settings. It examines how AI technologies, including machine learning algorithms and data analytics, can streamline recruitment processes by predicting candidate success and fit, thus ensuring the selection of the most suitable teachers. By analyzing vast datasets, AI can identify patterns and predictors of teacher turnover, enabling institutions to implement targeted retention strategies. These strategies may include personalized professional development plans, adaptive workload management, and early intervention programs to address potential issues before they lead to teacher attrition. Additionally, the paper highlights how AI can enhance student outcomes through improved HR practices. By optimizing teacher assignments and ensuring that students are taught by educators whose skills and expertise align with their needs, AI can contribute to more effective and tailored educational experiences. Furthermore, AI can assist in creating a supportive work environment for teachers by providing insights into employee satisfaction and engagement, facilitating a culture of continuous improvement. The adoption of AI in HR management also raises important ethical considerations, including data privacy and the potential for algorithmic bias. The paper addresses these concerns by discussing best practices for ethical AI implementation, ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness in AI-driven HR processes. Overall, this study demonstrates that leveraging AI in HR management can significantly enhance teacher retention and student outcomes, ultimately leading to a more effective and resilient educational system. By embracing AI technologies, educational institutions can foster a supportive environment for teachers and create optimal learning conditions for students, paving the way for sustained educational excellence.

Desain yang tepat dan positif memiliki kemampuan untuk mencerminkan keindahan dan kebaikan suatu budaya, masyarakat, atau lingkungan. Ini dapat membantu masyarakat memperoleh pemahaman budaya, menghindari stereotip, dan mengembangkan konsep diri yang benar. Sebaliknya, representasi yang tidak akurat berpotensi untuk menciptakan cultural appropriation. Penelitian yang dilakukan dalam jurnal ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki dampak penggambaran region Sumeru dalam game Genshin Impact terhadap persepsi penggunanya, terutama dalam penggambaran salah satu karakter Genshin Impact yang bernama “Tighnari”. Region Sumeru ini seharusnya mencerminkan budaya Timur Tengah dan Asia Selatan, namun malah menimbulkan kesan cultural appropriation di kalangan penggunanya. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa game Genshin Impact kurang dalam merepresentasikan budaya Timur Tengah karena mencampurkan budaya dari berbagai negara baik dari Timur Tengah maupun luar kawasannya sehingga menciptakan sebuah karakter dengan asal usul yang tidak jelas. Karena itu melalui penyusunan jurnal ini, diharapkan terjadi peningkatan kesadaran di kalangan masyarakat mengenai dampak representasi visual yang kurang tepat terhadap perspektif audiens dan pentingnya menganalisis serta merepresentasikan budaya secara akurat.

Film merupakan salah satu sarana hiburan yang tersedia baik secara gratis maupun berbayar. Hingga kini telah tercipta banyak film dengan berbagai genre yang menceritakan berbagai kisah dengan sudut pandang dan pendekatan. Genre yang berbeda memiliki hasil visual yang berbeda, utamanya dalam hal warna yang dominan dalam suatu film tersebut. La La Land (2016) dan Black Swan (2010) adalah contoh nyata dari sebuah film dengan konflik utama yang sama namun menggunakan pendekatan cerita yang berbeda. La La Land dengan genre musikal romantis dan Black Swan dengan genre horor psikologi dan thriller; keduanya memiliki inti cerita yang berisi “Ambisi menuntut pengorbanan”. Berdasarkan riset yang kami lakukan, penggunaan warna pada kedua film tersebut menimbulkan emosi dan memicu reaksi yang berbeda. Dalam teori warna, secara general warna hangat seperti kuning, orange, dan merah sering diasosiasikan dengan keceriaan, energi, dan semangat.  Sedangkan warna dingin seperti biru, hijau, dan ungu diasosiasikan dengan ketenangan dan kesedihan.  Asosiasi ini digunakan dalam film Black Swan dan La La Land. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kepekaan para desainer terhadap pengaplikasian warna terhadap suatu desain. Hasil temuan dari riset yang telah dilakukan membuktikan bahwa pengaplikasian warna tertentu berdampak terhadap berbagai macam emosi seseorang, oleh karena itu penting bagi para desainer untuk memiliki kepekaan terhadap pengaplikasian warna.

Authors: Desidério Vanessa
Published: August 2024

A cada dia cresce o número de crianças diagnósticas com autismo, essas crianças crescem e precisam ser acolhidas nas escolas, no trabalho, nos espaços sociais diversos. No entanto, apesar de a lei proteger a pessoa que está no espectro, ela não assegura meios que garantam a formação daqueles que lidam diariamente com a pessoa que está no espectro. Por ser variável e complexo, é mais emergente essa formação, pensando nisso, pais, professores, psicólogos e outros se reúnem para estudar a temática autismo e inclusão escolar, por entender que a escola é o meio pelo qual as pessoas são preparadas para o mundo do trabalho. Ao chegar à adolescência, as frustrações, crises emocionais e sensoriais se agravam com a falta de compreensão daqueles que estão no entorno. O autoconhecimento ajuda, mas a depender do nível de suporte, essa pessoa pode ter dificuldade para se expressar e precisará de apoio. O presente livro reuniu experiencias diversas com o intuito de ajudar os leitores a acolherem melhor as pessoas que estão no espectro. O livro é dividido em duas partes, a primeira é uma apresentação e relato da execução do curso Autismo e Inclusão Escolar realizado no período de julho a setembro de 2023 e a segunda parte é a socialização de experiências dos cursistas. Assim como cada autista é único, cada relato é único, apesar de todos eles terem como pano de fundo a experiência com a inclusão. Espera-se que os relatos sejam úteis para o planejamento e avaliação de outras formações com o mesmo objetivo: conhecer para melhor acolher.
