Authors: Jamaludin Jamaludin , Tradesa Anggi Purnama , Adelia Nanda
Published: December 2024

This research was conducted with the aim of: 1) To determine the forms of investment and their influence on labor absorption in Indonesia. 2) To find out the factors that influence investment in Indonesia. The type of research used in this research is normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. The results of this research show that: 1) forms of investment include: Public Investment, Private Investment, Gross Investment, Net Investment, Domestic Investment, Foreign Investment, Induced Investment and Antonomous Investment. 2) Factors that influence investment include: interest rates, the predicted level of investment profits, the level of national income and its changes, profits obtained by companies, the political situation, technological progress and conveniences provided by the government. A high level of investment will increase production capacity which ultimately leads to the opening of new jobs. That way, the unemployment rate can be reduced and people's income can increase. Investment also allows for the transfer of technology and knowledge from developed countries to developing countries. Apart from investment, wages also have a relationship with labor absorption. For most workers, this minimum wage has no effect, because they enjoy wages above the minimum wage.
INTEGRATION OF SHARIA NORMS IN THE FORMATION OF REGIONAL REGULATIONS IN INDONESIA: JURIDICAL ANALYSIS OF THE FORMATION OF SHARIA REGIONAL REGULATIONS
Authors: Fikri Ahmad Lutfi Rijalul , Hermawati Hermawati
Published: December 2024

This study examines the latest practices of integrating Sharia norms in the formation of Regional Regulations (Perda) in Indonesia and performs a jurisprudential analysis of such practices. The study found that there are at least 442 Sharia-nuanced Perdas that have been established in various parts of Indonesia, such as the provinces of Aceh, Western Sumatra, Banten, and South Sulawesi. The Perda regulates various aspects, such as the implementation of Islamic Shariah, the prohibition of prostitution, the application of compulsory reading of the Qur'an, and the arrangement for Islamic clothing. Juridical-normative analysis suggests that the practice of integrating Sharia norms into the establishment of the Perda must be in accordance with the principles contained in the 1945 Basic Law, in particular concerning guarantees of religious freedom and prohibition of discrimination. Such regulations must also be in line with the hierarchy of laws in force in Indonesia, not in conflict with higher regulations. The Charter of Sharia must guarantee the protection of human rights, such as religious freedom, freedom of opinion, and other constitutional rights. The process of forming the Shariah Perda needs to involve widespread public participation in order to acquire strong legitimacy. Furthermore, a comprehensive evaluation of the charges, purposes and processes of the establishment of the Sharia law is required to ensure its compatibility with the principles of a democratic rule of law.

Authors: Vučković Dejana , Janković Šoja Svjetlana , Paunović Tamara
Published: December 2024

Considering the importance of maize in the Republic of Serbia, the aim of the paper is to select an appropriate econometric model that describes and predicts the future trends of maize production in the Republic of Serbia. In order to forecast the future trends of maize production from 2023 to 2027, a time series of annual data from 1990 to 2022 was analyzed using the autoregressive integrated moving average model. The model shows that maize production in 2023 will be 49.34% higher than in 2022. According to the forecast, the growth trend in maize production will continue until 2025, after which a decline in production is predicted. This paper also found that the autoregressive integrated moving average model for the selected time series of maize production provides approximate and more reliable forecast results than the extrapolation of the average annual rate of change.

Authors: Sokolov Mladenović Svetlana , Mladenović Igor , Karanikić Petra
Published: December 2024

This paper analyses the dynamics of consumer prices and the volume of turnover in the retail sale of food products in the Republic of Serbia in the period from 2006 to 2022. The focus of the research is on the impact of inflation and unemployment rates on the real volume of turnover of these products using multi-factor regression. The results show that inflation does not have a statistically significant impact on the real volume of turnover of most food products, while the unemployment rate has a significant negative impact. However, the exceptions are sugar-based and chocolate-based products, where price increases have a significant positive impact on turnover. This analysis provides insights into the key macroeconomic factors influencing consumer habits and market dynamics in the face of inflation and unemployment. The results of the research can serve as a basis for creating policies and strategies that will help retailers effectively manage their business in conditions of economic uncertainty.

Authors: Vujić Tamara , Cvijanović Drago , Vujić Milan
Published: December 2024

Gastronomy has the power to attract tourists as a tourist attraction and make them loyal to it. Toward discussing their research, the authors first base their hypothesis on the argument that traditional gastronomy creates loyalty toward the destination. In order to test the initial hypothesis, it was necessary to answer the question, “In what way does gastronomy create a sense of loyalty toward the destination”? The results revealed that there was a unique formula in which the degree of loyalty of tourists toward travel destination directly depends on the factor of a “gastronomic experience.” The higher this factor was rated, the more the degree of loyalty toward the destination increased. Mostly, it is done by tradition, culture, authenticity, uniqueness, ambiance, and quality of food, beverages, and services. That is, the original and unique gastronomic experience of the destination which is first and foremost introduced by traditional gastronomy.

The political climate in the Republic of Moldova on the eve of the referendum on European integration
Authors: Braga Lilia
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the problem of the Republic of Moldova political climate on the eve of the European integration referendum. The author believes that the political climate is one of the most important factors in strengthening the pro-European aspirations of the Republic of Moldova society. In this regard, the formation of a pro-European political climate is one of the primary tasks of the authorities at the present stage. The solution of this problem is based on a predominant appeal to the emotional and psychological mechanisms of perceiving the idea of European integration: the formation of euphoria sense due to inflated expectations of changes for the better due to joining the European family; the escalation of negativism and confrontation vis-a-vis to a possible alternative course of the country's development. The formation of a favorable political climate is intended not only to strengthen the pro-European aspirations of society, but also to give the authorities a new credit of trust.

The human right to free expression or a crime committed out of prejudice (case study)
Authors: Cusnir Valeriu
Published: December 2024

Freedom of expression according to art. 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights raises a wide area of interpretation. The European Court of Human Rights specified its position on the role of the right to freedom of expression in a democratic society: „Freedom of expression is one of the essential foundations of such a society, one of the primary conditions for its progress and the development of every human being. It is applicable not only for information or ideas that are received favorably or considered as offensive or indifferent, but also for those that contradict, shock or disturb the state or any other category of the population. Such are the requirements of pluralism, tolerance and openness, without which there is no democratic society" (handyside v/United Kingdom case, 1976). In addition, the ECHR enshrines that the execution of these freedoms, which entail duties and responsibilities, may be subject to formalities, conditions, restrictions or sanctions provided for by law, which constitute necessary measures, in a democratic society, for national security, territorial integrity or public safety, defense order and the prevention of crimes, the protection of health or morals, the protection of the reputation or the rights of others, to prevent the disclosure of confidential information or to guarantee the authority and impartiality of the judiciary." In this sense, the criminal law criminalizes incitement to hatred or violence, manifested through public exhortations, dissemination of information or other forms of public information, including through the mass media, in written form, drawing or image, or through a system IT, against a category of people on grounds of prejudice, offense provided for in art. 346 - Incitement to violent actions based on prejudice, Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova.

Authors: Devi Vimala Kumari Nagendra Prasad Meena
Published: December 2024

Heavy metal pollution from industrial effluents poses significant environmental and public health challenges, particularly in aquatic ecosystems. Traditional wastewater treatment methods, are effective but often expensive, labor-intensive, and generate hazardous waste. Biosorption, using biological materials, presents a cost-effective and environment friendly alternative for heavy metal removal. The present study investigates the potential of Madhuca indica oil cake, a by-product of oil extraction can be used as a biosorbent for heavy metal sequestration. The oil cake was characterized by its physicochemical properties, including specific gravity (1.298 g/cm3), bulk density (0.66184 kg/m3), moisture content (11.34%), and dry matter content (88.66%). These properties suggest the oil cake is dense, nutrient-rich, and easy to handle and store. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to analyze the functional groups in the oil cake before and after drying at 105 °C. The results showed minimal changes in the chemical composition, with a slight shift in peak intensities indicating concentration effects due to drying. This stability is crucial for applications requiring intact bioactive compounds. The study highlights the versatility of Madhuca indica oil cake for multiple uses, including animal feed, fertilizer, and biomass for bioenergy. Furthermore, its potential as a biosorbent for heavy metal removal underscores its promise for environmental remediation. The study concludes that further research could optimize the utilization of Madhuca indica oil cake in agriculture and pollution control, contributing to sustainable environmental management.

Authors: Zhang Yan-ping , Liu Yan , Han Fang-fang , Wang Jie , Pan Hong-jian
Published: December 2024

Background: Neuropsychological deficits, such as delirium and cognitive dysfunction, are common consequences of cardiac surgery. The effectiveness of sedative drugs remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to collect and summarize the current evidence on the application of sedatives in randomized trials to prevent delirium and cognitive dysfunction in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods: We searched for relevant studies in the databases from inception to  September 1, 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of sedatives and comparators on postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in adults undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB were included in this research. Frequentist network meta-analysis (NMA) was utilized for comparing various interventions. Results: Forty-five RCTs were included in the analysis. For POD, there were statistically significant differences between the dexmedetomidine group and the control group (odds ratio [OR]: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.50, 0.98; p = 0.038), which was mainly dependent on the effect of the postoperative application. Ketamine (92%) and esketamine (91%) also showed higher surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) ranks, and trial sequential analysis also indicated their potential effectiveness. For the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) outcome, the results indicated that dexmedetomidine (standardized mean difference [SMD]: 3.14; 95% CI: 1.12, 5.16; p = 0.002) and remifentanil (SMD: 4.24; 95% CI: 0.28, 8.20; p = 0.036) resulted in significantly higher MMSE scores than the control group. Conclusions: Postoperative dexmedetomidine significantly outperformed the control in terms of POD risk and MMSE score. Esketamine/ketamine also demonstrated potential efficacy in preventing POD. Further research is required to validate these findings.
THE IMPACT OF WECHAT USAGE ON INFORMATION SHARING AMONG CHINESE SECONDARY STUDENTS
Authors: Zixuan Yang
Published: December 2024

This research investigates the impact of WeChat usage on information sharing behavior among secondary students in China, with a specific focus on analyzing the direct and indirect effects of information communication and self-disclosure on information sharing. Furthermore, it compares these impacts to the role of perceived pleasure during information exchange. The study employs quantitative data analysis based on collected sample responses. Preliminary findings indicate that both information communication and self-disclosure have a direct influence on information sharing, which is slightly stronger than their indirect influence through perceived pleasure. Surprisingly, the results suggest that perceived pleasure does not significantly determine how information communication and self-disclosure affect information sharing. Additionally, the influence of self-disclosure on information sharing surpasses that of data obtained through sample collection responses.
These findings enhance our understanding of how Chinese secondary students utilize and engage with digital communication platforms such as WeChat, providing implications for educators and policymakers aiming to promote effective behaviors related to information sharing. Future studies may explore additional mediating factors' roles and examine broader academic outcomes resulting from the use of digital communication platforms.

Exploring the Integration of STEAM Education in Senior High School
Chinese Language Teaching-taking “Yiwu Mechanical and Electrical
Technician High School” as a Case Study
Authors: Wang Qiuying , Leong Wai Yie
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the integration of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and
Mathematics) education into senior high school Chinese language teaching, using Yiwu
Mechanical and Electrical Technician High School as a case study. The study investigates how
the incorporation of STEAM elements enhances students’ engagement, critical thinking, and
language skills by embedding creative and interdisciplinary approaches into traditional Chinese
language curricula. By adopting project-based learning, digital storytelling, and interactive
activities, the program seeks to foster a deeper appreciation for Chinese language and literature
while promoting skills relevant to the 21st century, such as problem-solving, collaboration, and
innovation. Qualitative data, including classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student
feedback, reveal that integrating STEAM education in language arts encourages students to
view language as a dynamic tool for exploration rather than a static subject. The study showed
that many teachers were willing to participate in relevant training even though they were
unfamiliar with STEAM education concepts. Chinese language teaching in senior high schools
based on the STEAM concept significantly enhances students' interest and learning outcomes,
and promotes the cultivation of interdisciplinary thinking and innovative abilities. Therefore, it
is important to continue to improve this teaching model to promote the reform of Chinese
language teaching.

Alkohol, yang terkandung dalam minuman keras, memiliki dampak buruk bagi kesehatan jasmani dan rohani jika dikonsumsi dalam jumlah berlebihan, terutama pada remaja yang cenderung menjadikannya sebagai tren tanpa menyadari konsekuensinya. Selain menyebabkan kecanduan, konsumsi alkohol berlebihan juga berisiko menimbulkan kerusakan pada organ tubuh, khususnya hati dan otak. Alkohol dapat mempengaruhi sistem saraf pusat, merusak hati, dan meningkatkan risiko berbagai penyakit serius seperti sirosis dan kanker hati. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa gen interleukin-6 (IL-6) berperan dalam perkembangan kerusakan hati akibat alkohol. Dalam perspektif agama, Al-Qur'an dengan tegas melarang konsumsi alkohol, mengingat dampak negatif yang ditimbulkannya baik bagi individu maupun masyarakat, seperti kecelakaan lalu lintas, kriminalitas, dan gangguan sosial lainnya. Dampak buruk kesehatan yang terkait dengan konsumsi alkohol mencakup kerusakan jantung, stroke, kanker, dan gangguan pada sistem saraf. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk meningkatkan kesadaran tentang bahaya alkohol dan mengedepankan pola hidup sehat untuk mencegah kerusakan lebih lanjut.

This research investigated the incorporation of pine dust; a residual material from the furniture industry, into recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to form a wood plastic composite (WPc) and analyzed how this integration affects the structure, mechanical properties, and water absorption of the resulting WPc. Here, after necessary required processing, different samples of different wt% (0wt%, 5wt%, 10wt%, 15wt%, 20wt%, 25wt%, and 30wt%) and various sizes (less than 250 μm, 250-500 μm, and 500-1000 μm) of pine dust were mixed into recycled HDPE and fed into a single extrude extruder at 210 0C. The morphologies of the all-prepared samples were taken via stereoscopy microscopy. The tensile test, impact test, and water absorption quality of all WPc samples were tested. The test results showed that the ultimate load and strength were maximum at 15wt%, 20wt%, and 10wt% of 500-1000 μm, 250-500 μm, and less than 250 μm particle size mixed WPc, respectively. The impact test showed the impact resistance was maximum at 15wt% mixed pine dust WPc in all particle sizes. Similarly, water absorption was found to be increased with the increment of wt% of pine dust of all particle sizes in recycled HDPE.

Kitap İncelemesi: Alâ el-Asvânî,Yakupyan Apartmanı (عِمَارَة يَعْقُوبْيَان)
Authors: Bölükbaşı Mehmet
Published: December 2024

Mısır’ın önemli toplumsal gerçekçi yazarlarından biri kabul edilen Alâ el-Asvânî, kaleme aldığı Yakupyan Apartmanı adlı eserinde 90’lı senelerin Mısır’ında farklı hayat tarzlarına sahip insanların bir arada yaşadığı apartman ile dönemin siyasi ve sosyal yapısı hakkında bilgiler vermiştir. Yakupyan Apartmanında Mısır’da 1970’lerde Enver Sedat yönetiminde ekonomik alanda dışa açılım dönemi ile daha sonra 1990’lı yıllarda Hüsnü Mübarek yönetiminde de devam eden zaman dilimi anlatılmaktadır. Yakupyan Apartmanında Mısır’ın 1990’lı yıllardaki değişimi ile apartmanda yaşayan farklı meslek gruplarına mensup kişilerin hayata bakış açılarının farklılaşması ve değişimleri anlatılmaktadır. Eserde, Mısır’da artık Arap milliyetçiliğinin ve devletçilik ilkesinin yerine serbest piyasanın hakim olduğu toplumsal alanda dinin; siyasi alanda ise İslamcılığın egemen olduğu zaman diliminde meydana gelen değişimler ele alınmıştır. 2002 yılında yayınlanan eser eşcinselliğin normal bir duyguymuş gibi anlatılması nedeniyle Mısır’da tartışmalara neden olmuştur. Ayrıca eser birçok yabancı dile tercüme edilmiştir. Eser 2006 yılında sinemaya da uyarlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada Alâ el-Asvânî’nin kaleme aldığı Yakupyan Apartmanı adlı eserde yer alan olay kurgusu ele alınmıştır.

Sultan V. Murad’ın Hal’ine Meşru Bir Gerekçe: Osmanlı Siyaset Geleneğinde “Makasıdü’ş-Şerîa
Authors: Topuz Ercüment
Published: December 2024

Osmanlı siyasi geleneğinde muktedirin meşruiyeti iki kıstasa dayanmıştır. Bunlar şer’i ve örfi esaslardır. Şer’i esasın üslubunu “tefakkuh”, örfi esasın üslubunu ise “teamül” oluşturmuştur. Birinci üslubun tedvininden “fıkıh” literatürü neş’et etmiş, ikinci üslubun temessülünden de “töre” ortaya çıkmıştır. Hem fıkıh literatürü hem de töre olgusu, daha yaşanılabilir ve yönetilebilir bir dünya için muktedirlerin, amirlerin ve memurların en önemli başvuru kaynaklarını teşkil etmişlerdir. Hükümranlığın ve hakimiyetin “lazım-ı gayrı mufarıkı” olan her iki esasın aynı zamanda muktedirlerin baş ucunda “demokles kılıcı” gibi asılı durmasını temin eden belli kriterleri de mevcut olmuştur. Bunlar “din”, “mal”, “nesil”, “nefis” ve “akıl” ilkeleri olup fıkıh literatüründe “makasıdü’ş-şeria” başlığı altında tarif ve tasnif edilmiştir. Mezkûr ilkelere itibar muktedirin meşruiyetine, ihmali ise hal’ine sebebiyet vermiştir.
Araştırmamıza mevzu V. Murad’ın hükümranlığına temel ve hakimiyetine nihayet olan etkenler de “makasıdı’ş-şerîa” başlığı altında sıralanan ilkelerdir. Çalışma Osmanlı Arşivleri başta olmak üzere dönem kaynakları ve konuya ilişkin araştırma eserleri dikkate alınarak hazırlanmıştır
