Hegemonian jäljillä
Authors: Lahtinen Mikko
Published: April 2024

Hegemonia on nykyään laajasti käytetty sana ja käsite ihmistieteissä. Ennen muuta se liitetään Antonio Gramscin (1891–1937) nimeen. Hän puolestaan on ollut jo parin kolmen vuosikymmenen ajan eniten maailmalla siteerattu italialainen 1900-luvun ajattelija – kiitos pitkälti juuri ”hegemonian”. Varsinkin angloamerikkalaisessa akateemisessa maailmassa Gramsci tuli tunnetuksi – 1970-luvulta lähtien – ”hegemonian teoreetikkona”, kun taas italialaisessa ja ranskanlaisessa Gramsci-reseptiossa hegemonia nousi keskustelujen fokukseen vasta verrattain myöhään, kuten Giuseppe Cospito toteaa kirjassaan Hegemonia – Homeroksesta sukupuolentutkimukseen (s. 159). Sitä ennen, 1940-luvulta 1970-luvun alkuun Italialaisen vasemmiston piirissä ja osin laajemminkin kiisteltiin ”Gramscin perinnöstä” ja esitettiin arvioita hänen suhteestaan toisaalta neuvostomarxismiin ja Leniniin, toisaalta italialaiseen uushegeliläiseen perinteeseen (Croce ja Gentile). Tässä italialaisten Gramsci-reseptioiden historiassa esiintyviä hegemonian tulkintoja Cospito selostaa asiantuntevasti kirjansa viimeisessä luvussa ”Hegemonia Gramscin jälkeen”.  Sitä ennen hän tekee yli kahden ja puolen vuosituhannen mittaisen matkan ”hegemonian” käsitehistoriaan antiikin Kreikasta Gramscin Vankilavihkoihin (kirj. 1929–1935).

Authors: Joshi Arjun , Maheshwari Namrata
Published: April 2024

The paper is a critical analysis of the Sabarmati Riverfront Development project in Ahmedabad. It scrutinises the manner in which the judicial and administrative dimensions bolstering its implementation obliterated the fundamental and human rights of the families residing on the banks of the river. The paper highlights the abysmal resettlement provided to the informal settlers and the politics that fragmented the social relations of communities residing at the riverfront. Further, it emphasises on the need for an inclusive resettlement and rehabilitation framework that engages with the concerns of all stakeholders and prevents marginalisation of the urban poor in the process of infrastructural development. The paper concludes with a set of policy recommendations to make development an inclusive process that curbs the existing indifference towards developmental refugees.
Transformasi Pemahaman Hadis Tata Cara Rukuk dan Sujud Bagi Perempuan
Authors: Amirul Fikri Hanif  , Yulia Rahmi
Published: April 2024

The whole series of prayer movements are arranged in a tauqifi manner taught and practiced by the Prophet SAW. There is no information found in the Prophetic traditions that explain the differences in prayer movements between men and women. In the practice that developed in the community, there was an understanding that there were differences in ruku' and prostration movements for women. Where it is understood that for women to close their hands to their limbs, the distinction appears as a transformation of understanding of the hadith which then becomes a religious practice in the community which is conveyed and taught until it is accepted by the community as a form of teaching. This will then be studied in the form of its transformation from the hadith text into practice in the community. This discussion will be examined with a literature study approach that refers to works in the field of hadith to trace the understanding that emerged in each period.  The hadith literature shows that there is a narration in the Musnad of Abu Hanifah that appeared at the beginning of the second century, which hints at a different way of praying for women by closing their limbs. This narration was not popular in the mu'tamad hadith books that appeared until the end of the third century A.H. Based on this. In the fourth century, another understanding emerged based on a narration that explains bowing and prostration in a way that is specific to women. The narration was found in Sunan Kubra al-Bayhaqy, where al-Bayhaqy was a follower of the Shafi'iyyah school of thought.  This understanding developed in the books of fiqh shafi'iyyah which were widely used in pesantren and became the understanding and practice of the majority of people who followed the Shafi'i school of thought.

Authors: Tsymbal Bohdan , Shvedun Victoriia , Naumik-Gladka Kateryna , Chernenko Yulia , Kriukov Оleksii
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this article is a complete, comprehensive, bibliometric, doctrinal and empirical study of the general theoretical foundations of economic dimensions and paradigmatic mechanisms for managing personal security. The methodological basis of the work is a pluralistic and complementary combination of modern general philosophical and legal approaches, general scientific and special scientific methods, techniques and principles of scientific knowledge, due to the uniqueness of the subject of research, necessary to ensure its objective study. By means of bibliometric analysis, the trends and key areas of personal security research in the context of financial and economic security are determined. For the first time, a comprehensive analysis of the general theoretical foundations of economic dimensions and paradigmatic mechanisms of personal safety management is presented using a wide range of general and special scientific methods, techniques and principles of scientific knowledge. The generalization of the paradigmatic mechanism of the empirical study of the components of personal security made it possible to distinguish the following components: motivational one – the need for security, emotional one – the sensitivity to dangers, cognitive one – the beliefs about security, and behavioural one – the forms of response to hazards. The authors proved that there is a correlation between the indicators of the personal security component "Beliefs about security". In particular, it can be assumed that the significance of a person to himself determines the degree of his self-control and, accordingly, the reaction to external factors in the context of ensuring security. Besides, the benevolence of the world directly affects the self-esteem of the individual and his ability to control the processes around him.
THE IMPACT OF THE SHADOW ECONOMY ON THE REDUCTION OF TAX REVENUES TO THE STATE BUDGET
Authors: Bak Nataliia , Kalyta Tetiana , Tarashchenko Volodymyr , Riznyk Dmytro , Artemchuk Mykyta
Published: April 2024

The aim of the study was to assess and analyse the shadowing of the national economy, as well as to determine the impact of its shadowing on the reduction of tax revenues to the state budget. The research employed general scientific, economic, and mathematical assessment methods, such as regression analysis, correlation analysis, interval forecasts, as well as econometric models of Lacko's household electricity approach, as well as modelling of the shadowing level using the multiple indicators-multiple-causes (MIMIC) model. The calculations and analysis gave grounds to determine the level of the shadow economy of Ukraine based on the state statistics of shadowing trends. There is currently an upward trend estimated to be 37.1% of GDP in 2022 compared with international data, which indicates a rapid growth of the shadow economy from 27% in 2019 to 44% in 2022. An alternative method of assessing the shadowing level was proposed in order to level the peculiarities of calculating the level of shadowing of the economy. According to the calculations, it was 43% in 2022. It was determined that the rapid growth of the shadow economy is an indicator of a reduction in tax revenues, especially in 2022 — by almost 8%. The correlation analysis proved that the increased shadowing level is an indicator of the reduction of tax revenues to the budget of Ukraine. The conducted analysis has certain limitations, therefore it is advisable to further test the hypothesis regarding the indicator of tax revenue reduction on a larger range of data and to apply an alternative method of assessing the shadowing level for developed economies, such as the countries of the European Union (EU).
SUSTAINABILITY TRANSPARENCY IN SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS: BENCHMARK AND CASE STUDY APPROACH
Authors: Makarenko Inna , Cavagnetto Stefano , Kozmenko Olga , Kozmenko Serhiy , Bilan Yuriy
Published: April 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic and the current food, energy, and safety crisis caused by the war in Ukraine strongly affected the existing gap in Sustainable Development Goals funding. Restoring global sustainability progress and the 2030 Agenda requires reshaping responsible investment architecture and rethinking the role of sovereign wealth funds as the largest investors in this process.The current study explores the ways in which the most transparent sovereign wealth funds act towards sustainability values and incorporate environmental, social, governance, and ethical criteria (ESGE) into their investment strategy, portfolio, and reporting. Also, 16 high-ranked funds by the Sustainability Transparency Index (Cavagnetto et al., 2022) were investigated by using the case study and benchmark analysis. Study results demonstrate the similarity of all funds disclosure within some questionnaire criteria like sustainability policy, scoring (voting) rules for decision-making, ESGE criteria, stakeholder engagements, and assurance of the financial information disclosed. Nevertheless, qualitative differences were identified between the sustainability transparency criteria of A and B-ranked funds. There is also huge variation in the implementation of funds’ ethical criteria, sustainability coherence, relevance of sustainability goals, disclosure of specific climate-related goals, and foundation membership criteria.Policy implications derived from the differences in sovereign funds' benchmarks are aimed at enhancing the sustainability context in funds’ operating frameworks, developing impact measurement metrics, prioritizing the most material stakeholder requests, sustainability verification procedures, and standardizing funds’ sustainability reporting. Specific channels, instruments, and regulatory measures towards greater funds’ sustainability transparency and their involvement in bridging the sustainable development funding gap may be the subject of further investigation.

The Dignity of Peace and the Peace of Dignity
Authors:   Seminary of Ss. Peter & Paul, Bodija, Ibadan, Nigeria, Ikre William
Published: April 2024

Peace and dignity are two closely related concepts. Dignity is a fundamental human right, and peace is essential for realizing human dignity. Both concepts are deeply intertwined and interdependent. The dignity of peace and the peace of dignity are two sides of the same coin. The quest for dignity is collective and formidable. It is a galvanizing force behind all human interaction between families, communities, the business world, and relationships at the local and international levels. When dignity is violated, the response will likely involve violence, vengeance, hatred, and aggression. But when people treat one another with dignity, they become more connected and can create more meaningful relationships. Most people do not understand the concept of dignity and why its violation can harm societies’ peaceful co-existence and economic development. By respecting and embracing the dignity of persons as a way of life, we open the way to greater peace within ourselves and a safer and more humane world for all. This essay will explore the concept of the dignity of peace and the peace of dignity, the importance of each concept, their interrelation, and how they are promoted and protected in different contexts.

This article presents a thorough examination of error patterns within essays written by students enrolled at Ibn Tofail University, focusing on four major types of errors: Omission Addition, Mis-ordering, and Mis-formation. Utilizing data collected through essays and coded through content analysis. The data collected were analysed through SPSS, descriptive analysis, the study investigates the prevalence, distribution, and characteristics of these errors across a diverse range of essays. Through frequency distributions and skewness analysis, significant perspectives into error distributions and patterns emerged, revealing varying degrees of writing proficiency among the sample. The findings showed that the most frequent syntactic errors in students’ writings are addition errors and the most infrequent ones are mis-ordering. Professors may need to focus more attention on addressing and correcting addition errors, as they appear to be more prevalent and may have a greater impact on the overall clarity and coherence of students’ writing. Meanwhile, less emphasis may be needed on Mis-ordering errors, although they should still be addressed to ensure students develop strong syntactic skills and produce well-structured compositions.

Published: April 2024

Este estudio examina la influencia de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en el aprendizaje basado en investigación (ABI), destacando tanto sus beneficios potenciales como los desafíos asociados. Utilizando un enfoque cualitativo de revisión bibliográfica, se analizaron artículos académicos recientes para evaluar cómo la IA está transformando las estrategias metodológicas del ABI. Los resultados muestran que la IA puede significativamente personalizar el aprendizaje, automatizar tareas administrativas y de investigación, y mejorar los procesos de retroalimentación y evaluación. Sin embargo, estas ventajas vienen acompañadas de desafíos sustanciales, como limitaciones tecnológicas, necesidades de capacitación docente y cuestiones éticas y sociales profundas. La discusión subraya cómo la IA está redefiniendo los roles en la educación, cambiando la función del docente de un transmisor de conocimiento a un facilitador del aprendizaje, y cómo esto requiere un enfoque pedagógico adaptativo y reflexivo. Además, se resalta la necesidad de abordar las implicaciones éticas de la IA para asegurar que su integración fomente una educación equitativa y respetuosa de la privacidad y autonomía de los estudiantes. Se enfatiza que, aunque la IA ofrece oportunidades notables para mejorar el ABI, su implementación debe ser meticulosamente gestionada para optimizar los beneficios y minimizar los riesgos.
