Published: January 2025

Objectives: This study examines the implementation of Islamic economic principles in the application of transaction contracts within Islamic banking systems. Unlike conventional banking, Islamic banking operates based on Shariah principles, emphasizing transparency, fairness, and the prohibition of riba (usury) and gharar (excessive uncertainty).
 
Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework is grounded in Shariah economic principles, which provide guidelines for permissible transactions in Islamic banking. By focusing on sales contracts, the research highlights the mechanisms used by Islamic banks to ensure compliance with Shariah principles, such as periodic payment structures without interest and pre-agreed profit-sharing arrangements.
 
Method: The study adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing literature review methods to collect and analyze relevant data.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings reveal that Islamic banking successfully integrates Shariah economic principles into its transaction models, differentiating itself from conventional loan-based systems. For instance, in sales contracts, payments are structured without interest, ensuring compliance with the prohibition of riba. Additionally, profit-sharing agreements established at the outset of transactions provide clarity and fairness, eliminating elements of gharar.
 
Research Implications: The implications of this study are significant for the development of Islamic banking. The adoption of Shariah-compliant contracts not only ensures adherence to Islamic principles but also offers a viable alternative to conventional banking, potentially empowering Muslims to reclaim a leading role in the global financial landscape. Moreover, the transparent and ethical practices of Islamic banking could appeal to a broader audience, fostering inclusivity and trust.
 
Novelty/Originality: The novelty of this research lies in its focus on the operationalization of trust-based sales contracts in Islamic banking and their alignment with Shariah principles. By highlighting the practical implementation of these contracts, this study contributes to the broader understanding of how Islamic banking can provide ethical and sustainable financial solutions. It also underscores the transformative potential of Islamic economics in shaping a just and equitable banking system.

GMM Panel Approach for Non-Performing Financial (NPF) Analysis at Indonesia's Sharia Commercial Bank
Authors:   Department of Management, Faculty of Economics and Business, Widyatama University, Indonesia, Amaliawiati Lia
Published: January 2025

NPF is one of the most crucial financial indicators for sharia banking since it measures the extent of funding failure. Non-performing finance (NPF) occurs when a business partner is unable to fulfill their obligations. Better financing management by the bank is indicated by a lower NPF ratio value, and vice versa. The purpose of this study is to determine how the value of NPF Bank Umum Syariah in Indonesia is impacted by particular internal bank factors, such as the Capital Adequency Ratio (CAR), Finance Deposit Ratio (FDR), Operational Expense to Income Expense (OEOI), and macroeconomic variables, such as the Exchange Rate (ER) and Gold Prices (GP), between 2018 and 2023. The approach that is employed is the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) with panel data analysis. According to the study's findings, NPF for one year before (NPFt-1), CAR, FDR, changes in OEOI, change in ER, and changes in GP are the factors that have the biggest effects on NPF. However, NPF is unaffected by OEOI, ER, GP, change in CAR, change in FDR.

Entrepreneurial orientation is an important intangible asset for a firm to develop. On the other hand, intense competition has implications for the utilization of this asset, especially for MSMEs in the agricultural sector. Both variables, such as value innovation and knowledge management, can bridge the utilization of entrepreneurial orientation to enhance firm performance. On the other hand, several previous studies have produced different findings in various contexts. This study aims to examine the influence of entrepreneurial orientation on the performance of horticultural MSMEs in East Java. Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) was used in this study, covering 126 horticultural MSMEs. The results showed that entrepreneurial orientation significantly affected toward firm performance, but only knowledge management was found to mediate the effect between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance. Conversely, value innovation was unable to mediate the effect between the two. Therefore, knowledge management is one of the aspect that horticultural MSMEs in East Java should rely on to improve firm performance.

In the article, the author focused on the place occupied by the Turkic peoples in the Byzantine period, namely on the achievements that led the Turks to change the lives of the Byzantines. Their influence on the fall of the Byzantine state or the assimilation of peoples was more pronounced in comfort. At the same time, throughout its life - from the IV to the XV centuries - Byzantium was closely and variously connected with the civilizations of the East, telling about the reflection of the Turkic peoples in the Byzantine names and written texts of this period. Competition with the East developed in different ways. We have tried to comprehensively study all the surviving sources of the range of Byzantine, Muslim, Latin and Slavic languages.

In the Western Byzantine region, Greek, Latin, South Slavic, Arabic and Turkish written sources are considered the most important. Although the aspect of Byzantine-Turkic interaction we have chosen is not systematically (unexplored) developed in science, its full-fledged study is widely factographically, etc.

One-dimensional and multidimensional methods for solving inverse problems for a hyperbolic equation by the Gelfand-Levitan method lead to the numerical solution of Fredholm integral equations of the first and second kind. This paper examines the connection between a discrete inverse problem and solutions to a discrete auxiliary problem for a hyperbolic equation studied by the Gelfand-Levitan method. First, we present the formulations of the discrete inverse problem and the discrete auxiliary problem for the hyperbolic equation, as well as the properties of the grid functions that are solutions to these problems. Lemmas are proved about the structure of the grid function determined by the solution of the auxiliary discrete problem, and the connection of this grid function with the desired grid function, which is the solution to the discrete inverse problem. When proving the lemmas, the properties of the solution to the discrete auxiliary problem and the discrete analogue of the Dirac delta function are taken into account. A theorem showing the existence of a discrete inverse problem solution and its uniqueness is proved.

The article presents the results of a study on the development of technological regimes for the thermocyclic electrochemical-plasma treatment method to improve the microhardness of 40ХН structural steel. The method is based on a combination of electrochemical-plasma cyclic effects, which effectively enhance the operational characteristics of the material. Thermocyclic electrochemical-plasma treatment involves a comprehensive effect on the material surface, including thermal cycles, electrochemical treatment, and plasma impact. During the process, the surface structure of the steel changes, forming a dense oxide and carbide film, which significantly increases hardness and wear resistance. The process includes alternating heating and cooling cycles under plasma treatment conditions, contributing to a significant increase in the steel's strength. Experimental studies showed that after applying thermocyclic electrochemical-plasma treatment, the microhardness of the 40ХН steel surface increases by approximately 4.5 times. The results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method for improving the mechanical properties of structural materials used in various industries, including machine engineering, and open new opportunities to enhance the reliability and service life of components in the energy industry. The thermocyclic electrochemical-plasma treatment method is effective and promising for improving the properties of structural materials.

Authors:   Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University, Saifunov Bauyrzhan
Published: January 2025

The scientific study of the legacy of Khoja Ahmad Yassawi (d. 562/1166) commenced in the 20th century under the direction of Fuad Köprülü (1890-1966). Despite the numerous significant studies that have been conducted on Ahmad Yassawi and Yassawism, there is a discrepancy in the available information regarding the year of his birth. Nevertheless, the precise date of Ahmad Yassawi's birth remains uncertain. However, there is clear information regarding the date of his death and the duration of his life in sources such as the Neseb-name. In light of the aforementioned data, it is feasible to ascertain the year of Ahmad Yassawi's birth. Nevertheless, some medieval sources present differing perspectives on this matter, thereby rendering it open to debate. It was thus deemed appropriate to undertake an analysis of the year of Ahmad Yassawi's birth. This article presents an attempt to determine the years of Ahmad Yassawi's birth and death based on primary sources, with a particular focus on genealogical trees. In conducting this study, the methods of deepening sources and comparative analysis were employed. Additionally, determinations and evaluations have been made regarding the bibliography of Ahmad Yassawi.
Gender Disparities in Adoption of Alternative Livelihood Strategies in the Pastoral Community of West Pokot County, Kenya
Authors: Kondoltiony Emmanuel
Published: January 2025

Purpose: Gender disparities continue to impede adoption of Alternative Livelihood Strategies (ALSs) among pastoralists in West Pokot County. After a period of concerted effort by development agencies to bridge the gender gap, information/data on the extent of the differentials remain scanty, yet, this is critical in the efforts to enhance adoption of ALSs. It is against this backdrop that this study, investigated gender disparities in adoption of ALSs in the community.
Methodology: Whereas both quantitative and qualitative research approaches were applied, the study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. The target population for the study was adult household members in West Pokot County. Both multi-stage cluster and purposive sampling techniques were employed to sample respondents. Quantitative data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The analyzed data was presented in tables and charts. Thematic analysis was employed for qualitative data which was presented in narrative and verbatim forms.
Findings: The study revealed that majority of the pastoralists had adopted ALSs. However, there were gender disparities in the type, nature and number of ALSs adopted. Gender disparities also existed in the willingness to adopt, duration and general extent to which the ALSs had been adopted. The study, therefore, concludes that there are stack gender disparities in adoption of ALSs in the community that disadvantage the women. As a result, the pace and extent of adoption of ALSs in the community is slow and low.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study underlines that equal participation of both gender in adoption of ALSs is critical in the wellbeing of the community. This reinforces the tenets of Structural Functionalism theory and the Capacities and Vulnerabilities Assessment framework that, society is a complex system whose parts (both men and women) should work together to promote solidarity, complementarity and stability. This study provides information to the existing body of knowledge in gender and diversification of livelihoods among pastoralists. More importantly, the findings and recommendations of this study can enable development actors to develop practical gender responsive strategies that may improve adoption of ALSs.

Authors:   Global Knowledge and Convergence Association, Yang Joonyoung
Published: January 2025

This study was conducted to examine the differences in levels of career adaptability and career barriers among clusters based on the combination of brooding and reflection, sub-dimensions of rumination, focusing on college students. A survey was conducted with 245 college students, and cluster analysis was performed to categorize students by rumination type. The analysis revealed four distinct clusters based on levels of brooding and reflection: a ‘high-rumination’ group with high levels of both brooding and reflection, a ‘reflection-focused’ group with high reflection and low brooding, a ‘brooding-focused’ group with high brooding and low reflection, and a ‘low-rumination’ group with low levels of both brooding and reflection. MANOVA indicated significant differences among clusters in terms of career adaptability and career barriers. The reflection-focused group showed the highest level of career adaptability, with a significant difference from the brooding-focused group, which exhibited the lowest level. In terms of career barriers, the reflection-focused group perceived the lowest level of barriers, with significant differences from the high-rumination and brooding-focused groups. The findings suggest a foundation for tailored career education and counseling approaches that address the unique characteristics of each rumination type.

It is evidently discovered that school that the quality of principal leadership affects in building school-community leadership. School head must need to have a good communication skill, organizational skill, decision-making skill, interpersonal skill and problem-solving skill in building school-community partnership in establishing students’ achievement, teachers’ engagement and school development. Through strategic planning and encouraging involvement in school-related issues, school administrators can cultivate genuine parent ties. Leaders are driven to learn why and how parent participation fails because it is a problem in many schools. Participation is important, for instance, but schools hardly ever get the required level of family involvement. By removing obstacles to family involvement, principals can have a significant impact on student achievement and parent relationships.

To solve the problems in building school-community partnership, it is important that the school head must need to have a good quality of leadership. This study was limited in sub-office of Santa Maria. Future research should examine schools outside of this sample in different sub-offices and schools. This study surveyed elementary teachers. Future research could include teachers in secondary. The school heads may provide opportunities to improve their practices on engaging stakeholders’ participation and school environment by sending them to various seminars and trainings. The school heads may revitalize the involvement of the stakeholders by providing them programs that will capture and nurture their support. The mechanisms employed by the school heads in sustaining school-community partnerships be maintained and reviewed to further improve the school-community relations.

In this technical article, we deal with the role of Hungarian baths in tourism and recreation. In the grouping of baths, we analyzed their turnover (number of visitors) and financial indicators (specific sales revenue) based on the nature of their operation (independently or associated with accommodation services, or as part of another institution). We used a time series analysis to examine the development of the water surface of the baths, the data of the baths in Budapest and the Zala county between 2014- 2022, in order to get an idea of the change in turnover data caused by Covid. We analyzed the time series data by breaking down income from accommodation, spas and medical services. We studied the development of the number of guests and sales revenue of the baths using regression calculations. The analysis yielded the interesting result that although the largest income per guest was produced by baths with major accommodation services or wellness hotels, the reason for this is not only the ticket sales, but also the investment support sources of the tender funds. Independently operating baths realize a relatively low level of per capita sales, their operation is still important, as these baths satisfy the recreational needs of the local population, since baths are no longer only part of the annual vacation, but also the scene of well-being and reproduction of work ability, which is also intended to serve the quality of life of the local population.

Authors: Abagaro Galgallo Wako
Published: January 2025

This study examines the impact of refugee influx on the effectiveness of Kenya's counterterrorism efforts in the Dadaab Sub-County. The study utilized a mixed-methods research design integrating quantitative data from 156 respondents and qualitative insights from in-depth interviews with security officers, government officials, NGO workers, and community members. The findings indicate that 70.5% of respondents believe the refugee influx negatively impacts counterterrorism measures, with 87% highlighting exacerbated security challenges and 79% citing coordination issues as significant limitations. Additionally, 84% of respondents recognize the importance of international support in enhancing counterterrorism efforts. The study aligns with Security Studies Theory, Realism in International Relations, and Migration and Refugee Studies Theory, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of security threats, state sovereignty, and the socio-economic implications of refugee movements. The study findings indicate the necessity for more robust security measures, better coordination, and socio-economic interventions to address these challenges. The study provides actionable recommendations for improving Kenya's counterterrorism strategies. It suggests areas for future research on the long-term impacts of refugee influx and the effectiveness of various counterterrorism strategies.
The disastrous consequences of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait
Authors: Naser Taher
Published: January 2025

This research explores the causes that led to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and the severe repercussions of this action, focusing on the effects on the Iraqi economy, its political stability, and international reactions. The research aims to analyze the political and economic consequences of the postinvasion period and evaluate its long-term effects on development in Iraq. This study uses historical analysis and a qualitative approach to study the effects of the Gulf War on Iraq. The population comprises critical stakeholders involved in or affected by the Gulf War, including political leaders, government officials, international organizations, and scholars specializing in Middle Eastern politics. The sample size includes 50 individuals. Specific samples were selected to ensure a diverse representation of views on Iraq's political and economic conditions before and after the war. The data was collected based on previous research, document analysis, and interviews with former diplomats and military experts. The study relied on official documents, government reports, and UN resolutions to provide an inclusive view of the impact of the Gulf War. The results showed that the most important causes of the war were economic desperation and attempts to impose regional control and hegemony over the oil-rich Gulf region, which led to the imposition of strict financial sanctions on Iraq, which resulted in economic deterioration. This situation led to a state of political instability in Iraq. The study also pointed to international intervention in the conflict, especially by the American administration led by President Bush Sr., which reversed the course of events. The research concludes that the decision to invade had permanent and long-term economic effects as well as on Iraq's foreign relations with the international community. The significance of these findings lies in their potential to inform future policies and strategies, particularly in strengthening diplomatic efforts to address economic grievances and supporting post-conflict recovery to avoid prolonged instability, offering a hopeful outlook for the future.

A cikk célja annak vizsgálata volt, hogy a Neumann János Egyetem mérnökinformatikus hallgatóinak tanulmányi eredményessége javítható-e azzal, hogy a Digitális Technika II. tantárgyban alkalmazott hardverszimulációt fizikailag létező, igényekre szabott céleszközzel helyettesítjük. A kutatás első lépésében a hallgatói igényeket mértük fel, és hipotézisünk igazolta egy új oktatási megközelítés szükségességét. A tantárgy oktatóival folytatott konzultációk alapján elkészítettük az eszköz rendszertervét, majd egy nyílt forráskódú tervezői környezetben megvalósítottuk azt. Az eszköz bevezetéséhez egy mintatanórát is kidolgoztunk.
Python programozási nyelv térhódítása a középfokú oktatásban
Authors: Szerémi Éva Krisztina
Published: January 2025

A digitális korban elengedhetetlenné vált a programozás ismerete, különösen a középiskolai oktatásban, ahol az algoritmikus gondolkodás és a problémamegoldó képességek fejlesztése kiemelt jelentőséggel bír. A középszintű oktatásban számos programozási nyelv megjelent már, azonban széles körben csak azok oktatása nyert teret, amelyek a központi kimeneti követelmények teljesítésére minél inkább alkalmasak voltak, ennek minden előnyével és hátrányával. A Python programozási nyelv egyszerű szintaxisa, széleskörű alkalmazhatósága és oktatásban való elérhetősége miatt egyre népszerűbb választás a középfokú oktatásban. Ez a cikk bemutatja a Python térnyerésének okait a magyar középfokú oktatásban, különös tekintettel a 2020-as Nemzeti Alaptanterv bevezetésére.
