Cahiliye Dönemi Sosyal Hayatında Nesep Kültürü
Authors: Aras Ömer
Published: December 2024

Nesep kan bağı anlamına gelir. Akrabalık ve soy ilişkileri bu temel üzerinden şekillenir. Arap kültüründe siyasi, sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel alana etki eden merkezi bir olgudur. Bu hem İslam hem de Cahiliye dönemi için geçerlidir. Zira her iki dönemde de kabîle sosyal dokunun hâkim unsurudur. Kabîleler ise kan bağı üzerinden teşekkül eder. Bu bakımdan nesep kabîlevi toplumda hayati konumdaki asabiyetin nüvesini teşkil eder. Asabiyet, merkezi bir otoritenin bulunmadığı toplumlarda kişi için koruyucu bir kalkandır ve onun hayatta kalmasını sağlar. Bu çalışmada Cahiliye döneminde Arap sosyal hayatında nesep kültürünün ne ölçüde etkili olduğu ele alınacaktır. Çalışmanın giriş bölümünde nesep olgusunun Arap sosyal hayatındaki konumunun belli bir dönemle sınırlandırılarak ortaya konulmasının imkânı sorgulanmış ve buna dair cevaplar verilmiştir. Nihayetinde kadim, yaygın ve güçlü bir olgu olarak nesebin Cahiliye ve İslamî dönem çerçevesinde bir bütün olarak ele alınması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca İslamî dönemde ortaya konan kimi uygulamaların, yapılan düzeltmelerin Cahiliye dönemindeki nesep kültürünün anlaşılmasına katkı sağlayacağı vurgulanmıştır. Takip eden başlıklarda Cahiliye döneminde Arap zihniyetine hâkim olan nesep olgusu kişi, kabîle ve kabîle üstü oluşumlar/yapılar şeklinde bir tasnif üzerinden genişleyen halkalar olarak ele alınmıştır. Nesep, birbirini içeren birimler ile bir kan bağı toplumu ortaya çıkardığından takip edilen bu şema ele alınan dönemdeki “saha” ile de uyumludur. Kişi başlığı altında bireyin zihin dünyasında, sosyal hayatında, kendi kabilesine mensup kişiler ile öteki diyebileceğimiz rakip kabîle mensuplarını tanımlamada, onlarla geliştirdiği ilişkilerde nesebin nasıl etki ettiğine dair değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Kabîle kısmında asabiyetin temelini teşkil eden nesebin kabîle bünyesinde nasıl bir fonksiyon icra ettiği, kabilevi kimliğin oluşmasında nasıl birleştirici ve ayırıcı bir hususiyet arz ettiği üzerinde durulmuştur. Kabîle üstü seviye konusunda ise İslam sonrasında belirginleşen ve siyasete yön veren Adnânî, Kahtânî, Mead, Nizâr, Rebîa gibi kabîle üstü grupların İslam öncesinde var olup olmadığına dair tespitlerde bulunulmuştur. Çalışmada literal kaynakların yanında arkeolojik veriler de kullanılmıştır.

Authors: Reza-ur-rahīm Muhammad
Published: December 2024

Arap Yarımadası, günümüzde çöl iklimi ve engebeli yeryüzü şekilleri itibariyle tarımsal faaliyetlerden uzak bir coğrafya olarak düşünülmektedir. Oysaki antik dönemde Arabistan’da insanların temel geçim vasıtalarından biri tarım idi. Bu makalede, Arap Yarımadası’nda İslâm öncesi dönemde tarımsal hayatın durumu ele alınmıştır. Eski çağlarda Arabistan halkının tarım faaliyetlerinde kaydettikleri ilerlemeleri gösteren belge, yazıt ve yapı kalıntıları bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca Kur’an-ı Kerim’de pek çok âyet, Arapların İslâm öncesi dönemdeki tarım hayatına ve bu coğrafyada yetiştirilen çeşitli ürünlere işaret etmektedir. Hz. Peygamber’in hadislerinde de konuyla ilgili örnekler vardır. Makalede İslâm öncesi dönemde Arabistan’ın hangi bölgelerinde ne tür ürünlerin yetiştirildiği, ürünlerin yaygınlık durumu, çiftçilerin toplumsal konumu, ekim-dikim yapılan araziler ve çeşitleri, arazilerin işletilme biçimleri, tarımsal üretimde kullanılan sulama sistemleri, tarım aletleri ve dağlık bölgelerde yapılan teras tarımı hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir. Arabistan’ın tarımsal anlamda en gelişmiş yerinin Güney Arabistan olduğu vurgulanırken Hicaz’da da belirli yerlerde tarımsal üretimin olduğu açıklanmıştır. Sonuç olarak elde edilen bilgiler, tarımın İslâm öncesi Araplarında önemli bir yere sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.
Cahiliye’den İslâm’a Defin Geleneği
Authors: Tekin Feridun
Published: December 2024

Ölüm insanın kaçamayacağı bir kaderdir. Ölen insanların defnedilmesi tarih boyunca devam eden bir âdettir. Hz. Âdem’den (s) itibaren süren bu gelenek tarih içerisinde farklı âdetlerin eklenmesiyle değişikliklere maruz kalmıştır. Özellikle ilahi dinlerde bu uygulama geleneksel olarak varlığını sürdürmüş, belirli merasimlerle gerçekleşmiştir. Ölen insanın toprağa gömülmesi ahiret inancının varlığını işaret etmektedir. Ölülerin defnedilmesi ahiret inancının yanında ona gösterilen saygı ve ihtiramı da ortaya koymaktadır. Bu durumun nişanesi olarak ölünün yıkanması, kefenlenmesi ve belirli usullerle toprağa verilmesi zikredilebilir. Ölenlere maddi olarak yapılan bazı âdetler dışında yakınları ve çevresi tarafından yıllarca süregelen farklı uygulamalar da olmuştur. Hz. Peygamber devrinin öncesi olan Cahiliye Dönemi defin geleneği açısından farklı örnekleri bünyesinde barındırmaktadır. Ölüm haberinin ilan edilmesiyle başlayıp defin sonrası mezar başında yapılan uygulamalara kadar devam eden değişik gelenekler o dönem içerisinde yer almıştır. Resûlullah (s) peygamberliğe başladığı dönemden itibaren ise defin ile alakalı geçmişte yer alan pek çok uygulamayı İslâmi âdet ve usullere göre düzenleyerek sonraki dönemlere aktarılmasını sağlamıştır. Hz. Peygamber birçok konuda olduğu gibi definle ilgili hususlarda da İslâm’a aykırı olanlara müdahalede bulunmuş, aykırı olmayanlarını ise devamı yönünde adımlar atmıştır. O, ölünün yıkanıp kefenlenmesi ve güzel kokularla süslenmesi gibi hususlara dokunmamış; yüksek sesle ağlama, kılık kıyafetini parçalama ve ölünün mezarı başında hayvanın kesilip terkedilmesi gibi çirkin âdet ve alışkanlıkları doğru bulmayıp İslâm’ın özüne aykırı olması dolayısıyla yasaklamıştır. O, makul ölçülerde ölüye gösterilebilecek olan davranışları ise normal bulmuş ve yapılmasına yönelik bir beis olmadığını bizatihi olarak göstermiştir.

Authors: Burhannudin Asep Yusup , Harmoko Udi , Windarta Jaka
Published: December 2024

Similar to other businesses, geothermal energy sales and purchase business activities are also based on contractual agreements that bind developers as energy sellers and PLN as buyers. These contracts are generally known as Steam Sales and Purchase Agreement (PJBU) and Electricity Sales and Purchase Agreement (PJBL). The legal provisions governing the power purchase agreement between PT PLN (Persero) and the developer are then specifically regulated in the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation Number 10 of 2017 concerning Principles in the Power Purchase Agreement (PJBTL). In the PJBTL, it is regulated regarding the rights and obligations of the developer and PLN, including that the developer is obliged to provide energy and PLN is obliged to buy as much energy as has been provided by the developer. from the results of the author's observations based on data from Exaquantum there is a decrease in steam supply for the Unit-X4 PLTP plant so that the Net generation reaches a minimum load of 54.7 MW per month from March to September 2023. The above case, if allowed to continue, will potentially be exposed to Delivery Or Pay (DOP), while the Unit Rated Capacity (URC) result of 60.854 MW is the basis of the contract for determining DOP and Take Or Pay (TOP) between the two parties. In addressing the above problems, the authors planned several alternative solutions by modeling the existing conditions of SGS to find relevant alternative solutions using Aspen Hysys software, the first model modeling the existing conditions and the second modeling the conditions after the addition of steam from K-21X, for this second modeling using several calculations carried out four times modeling to achieve maximum generation according to design.

Authors: JOAQUIN SUZETTE R. , IMBAT ARACELI U.
Published: December 2024

This review will discuss the integration of GBL into reading pedagogy. This reflects on the importance of addressing the critical issues of reading proficiency among learners in the Philippines. Reading is a foundational skill that has been crucial to academic success and personal development; however, Filipino learners have continuously ranked low in international assessments of reading comprehension, making it an issue that requires innovative teaching methods. Traditional pedagogies have been inadequate to develop these skills, thus it becomes imperative to seek the intervention of GBL as an innovative and engaging practice. GBL employs the aspects of games to motivate and engage learners with more interactive learning, which also makes reading enjoyable and interactive. This meta-analysis synthesizes findings from a range of studies on game-based learning (GBL) in reading pedagogy. It examines the impact of GBL on reading proficiency, engagement, and motivation. By evaluating both experimental and quasi-experimental research, this study identifies the overall effectiveness of GBL strategies, moderators influencing outcomes, and gaps in the literature.

Published: December 2024

This study advances platform economics theory by synthesizing Platform Economy Theory and Two-Sided Market Theory with classical trade frameworks in ASEAN's digital marketplace. Through mixed-method analysis of longitudinal data (2020-2024) and multi-level qualitative assessment (n=2,500, CI=95%, ±2.5%), the research reveals significant variations in network effects across development tiers (elasticity coefficients: 0.28-0.84, p<0.01). Platform externality coefficients vary across market maturity levels (R²=0.82, p<0.001), with user bases ranging from 0.4 to 196.4 million and digital trade values spanning USD 1.8-104.8 billion. Statistical modeling identifies three developmental tiers with variations in digital infrastructure (internet penetration: 32.4-95.8%, χ²=156.4, p<0.001) and digital payment adoption (28.3-92.4%, F=78.3, p<0.001). The study contributes by quantifying non-uniform network effects across development stages, developing a Digital Trade Integration Index incorporating data flow restrictions (0.499±0.042) and payment systems integration (0.405±0.038), and establishing a framework for analyzing cross-border digital trade barriers in developing markets.

Authors: Ohioma Joshua O.
Published: December 2024

Internal assurance of sustainability is desirable as a complement to external assurances by third party providers. Internal Audit Function (IAF) mostly perform this function in line with their independent assurance services to the Board and Management. Though evidence of IAF’s growing involvement in sustainability exists, there is limited comprehension about the variables influencing this involvement. This study investigates these variables from the perspectives of Chief Audit Executives of banks in Nigeria, using a combination of parametric and non-parametric methods to explore and quantify the relationship between the variables of interest. Data was collected through Likert-Scale survey questionnaires and analysis of the survey responses which were mainly quantitative data and firm characteristics of the banks was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 25.0) and tested using the Linear Regression model and Spearman Correlation tests. The study found that board and management commitment to sustainability and requisite technical skills amongst others significantly influences internal sustainability assurance. In terms of firm characteristics of the banks, the study did not find substantial evidence of significant positive relationship between the age of a bank and sustainability practices & assurance, while the study did not find any evidence that the size of a bank influences its sustainability practices & assurance. The study further note that the IAF have a high perception of the credibility and business significance of sustainability practices and reporting while also advocating various internal and external initiatives inclusive of issuance of mandatory guidelines on sustainability practices, reporting and assurance amongst others by the financial regulators to ensure and enhance performance of this function by the IAF.
A Philosophical Analysis of Government Incentives during COVID-19 in Bangladesh
Authors: Mahfuz Md. Lawha , Jispa Santana Kamal , Das Sajib Chandra , Akter Tabassum , Jui Mst Meherunnesa
Published: December 2024

The paper assesses the adequacy of the incentives introduced by the government during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh from a philosophical point of view. In this way, it can put together philosophical analysis with intuition from the general public, into an interdisciplinary stand that connects economics and ethics. Furthermore, the study investigates whether those incentives conform to major ethical theories such as utilitarianism, distributive justice, and Kantian ethics. By discussing how these philosophical mechanisms apply to the government’s actions, the paper develops into a critical analysis of key issues regarding fairness, social justice, and morality in the way the incentives have been distributed. It further questions the role that these incentives have played in supporting economic stability-especially for big companies-while questioning the exclusion of smaller businesses. The research forms a valuable insight into ethical implications for public policy in crisis situations by building up a wide understanding of how philosophical principles can help make real-world decisions.

DCC GARCH Evaluation of Volatility Spillovers in Sovereign Bond Markets for Portfolio Optimisation
Authors: Chola Gargi , Gupta Pankaj Kumar
Published: December 2024

The main purpose of this paper is to examine the bond market volatility connectedness between BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and five advanced market i.e. US, France, Italy, Germany and Japan, covering the period 2007-2023 (daily data), including covid-19 Pandemic. We find the persistence of volatility among the variable during crises. However, none of the bond indices of the developed market show a high magnitude of spillover to BRICS, denoting low integration between these countries during these crises. Russia and South Africa are the strongest transmitters of shocks to all other variables in BRICS. Overall it is being observed that the sovereign yield of India, China, and Brazil does not fluctuate much with U.S. and European markets during the crises, making them the most attractive market for risk minimisation and hedging. Therefore, this study suggests that in bond market BRICS have heterogeneous asset structure and can be looked for better bond’s portfolio management.

A Review on Pharmacovigilance
Authors: Miss. Sakshi Chandrakant Wagh  , Asst. Prof. Snehal Kadbhane
Published: December 2024

Pharmacovigilance (PV), as defined by the WHO, refers to the science and activities involved in the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or other drug related problems. PV plays a crucial role in ensuring patient safety and drug efficacy. It is an integral part of the healthcare system, focusing on the assessment, monitoring, and identification of medication interactions and their impact on humans. While pharmaceutical and biotechnological treatments are designed to cure, prevent, or manage diseases, they also carry potential risks, particularly adverse drug reactions (ADRs), which can sometimes be life- threatening. Therefore, monitoring ADRs is essential throughout a drug's lifecycle, encompassing pre-marketing phases, initial drug discovery, clinical trials, and post-marketing surveillance.
Adverse events recorded through PV systems are highly beneficial to public health. These systems enable efficient electronic communication with reporters and facilitate the exchange of knowledge with healthcare practitioners, making them a vital bridge between the population and public health experts. Ultimately, PV not only supports patient recovery but also helps manage or prevent illnesses effectively. Medication safety remains a collective responsibility involving the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory authorities, clinicians, and other healthcare professionals, all working together to enhance public health outcomes

Authors: Ms. Sakshi Kantinath Sawandale  , Dr. Akshit Naveria
Published: December 2024

For the treatment of diabetes, a chronic illness that impacts millions of people globally, insulin preparations are crucial. The various insulin formulations—rapid-acting, short-acting, intermediate-acting, and long-acting insulins—are described in this abstract. Each is intended to fulfill particular therapeutic requirements depending on the patient's blood glucose levels and lifestyle. The initiative also looks at the many tools used to administer insulin, such as insulin pumps, insulin pens, and conventional syringes. With pre-set doses for convenience, insulin pens offer a more user-friendly alternative to syringes, which can be heavy and difficult to use. Continuous insulin delivery from insulin pumps improves glucose control and increases mobility in day-to-day activities. In order to guarantee the efficacy and safety of insulin and related devices, it is also stressed how crucial it is to handle, store, and dispose of them properly. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to improve patient outcomes and diabetes management by increasing knowledge about insulin formulations and administration instruments. In conclusion, the project offers a thorough rundown of insulin varieties and delivery tools, emphasizing their importance in the efficient management of diabetes

La salud pública y el desarrollo social en Latinoamérica tienen características particulares asociadas a la dinámica de las condiciones socioeconómicas y
las iniciativas de los Estados. En ese sentido, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo indagar sobre la salud pública y el desarrollo social en Latinoamérica. Para ello,
se realizó una revisión sistemática utilizando el método Prisma, y se seleccionaron
estudios publicados entre 2019 y septiembre de 2024 en bases de datos indexadas
como Scielo, Scopus y Web of Science. Los criterios de inclusión abarcan estudios
científicos realizados en Latinoamérica, y se han excluido aquellos que no pertenecieran a la región o no estuvieran indexados. Tras un proceso de cribado y elegibilidad, se seleccionaron 16 artículos para el análisis final. Los resultados mostraron que las políticas públicas han tenido un impacto positivo en la reducción de
desigualdades en salud, aunque persisten desafíos, como la fragmentación de los
servicios y la limitada participación comunitaria. Se concluye que la integración de
los determinantes sociales y una mayor participación de las comunidades son clave
para mejorar el bienestar y la equidad en Latinoamérica.

Intrusion Detection Model using Machine Learning Algorithms on NSL-KDD Dataset
Authors: Alshamy Reem , Akcayol Muhammet Ali
Published: December 2024

Big data, generated by various sources such as mobile devices, sensors, and the Internet of Things (IoT), has many characteristics such as volume, velocity, variety, variability, veracity, validity, vulnerability, volatility, visualization, and value. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is essential for cybersecurity to detect intrusions before or after attacks. Traditional software methods struggle to store, manage, and analyze big data, developing new techniques for effective and rapid intrusion detection in organizations and enterprises. This study introduces the IDS Random Forest (RF) model in binary and multiclass classification for intrusion detection. In this model, we used the Synthetic Minority Oversampling TEchnique (SMOTE) to address class imbalances, and the RF classifier to classify attacks using the Network Security Laboratory (NSL)-KDD dataset. In the experiment, we compared the IDS-RF model with the Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), and Logistic Regression (LR) classifiers in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score, and times for training and testing. The experimental results showed that the IDS-RF model achieved high performance in binary and multiclass classification compared to others. In addition, the proposed model also achieved high accuracies for each class (Normal, DoS, Probe, U2R, or R2L) and obtained 98.69%, 99.72%, 98.93%, 95.13%, and 89%, respectively.
