Published: February 2024

Ta'aruf is one of the realms of social interaction which is the door to building a relationship between human beings in general. This has been discussed in the Qur'an which is a book that contains instructions for humans, that humans are created with different shapes or characters. The goal is for people to get to know each other. In other terms known as the term ta'aruf earlier. However, in this discussion the word ta'aruf is interpreted more specifically as an effort to recognize the opposite sex to be a life partner. So, ta'aruf is part of the initial stages before building a lasting relationship, namely marriage. Related to this, the law or sharia whose function is to fill the space for all community behavior, also follow these developments so that they can always provide explanations about new things that arise. The aim is to be able to provide legal certainty regarding a new lifestyle that is developing in society. This study uses the library method, namely by collecting as much data as possible from previous research and then concluding it into new research, it is intended that this research will later become one of the sources for similar discussions.

Authors: Putri Mutmainna , Rahmawati  , Anwar Alfiansyah , Haq Islamul , Zulfahmi AR
Published: February 2024

Microtransactions are a type of small-scale financial transaction conducted online. With the advent of the internet, trading transactions no longer require direct interaction between the seller and the buyer, as everything is done through online platforms. One form of microtransaction found in games is gacha. The issue of microtransaction gacha arises due to their inherent gambling elements. However, there is a loophole in current criminal law in Indonesia where no specific regulation governs this issue. This research aims to compare the differences in the legal regulation of microtransaction gacha between national criminal law and Islamic criminal law. The research methodology employed is a comparative method with a literature review approach. The findings of this research indicate that there is no specific regulation in national criminal law that categorizes microtransaction gacha as prohibited acts under the law, whereas, in Islamic criminal law, microtransaction gacha fulfill the elements of gambling and are therefore considered haram (forbidden). Therefore it is important to establish a framework of criminal law that regulates gacha systems to minimize the impacts caused by microtransaction gacha.

Published: February 2024

This study aims to analyze and explore the philosophical aspects of the concept of Tasyri' in the context of Kabul representation in marriage, especially in Pallangga District, Gowa Regency. Tasyri' is an approach to Islamic law that covers various aspects of life, including marriage law. Kabul representation, as the guiding principle of marital property, has its roots in the philosophical views underlying Islamic law. This research uses a qualitative approach with textual analysis methods to explore a deep understanding of Tasyri's philosophical views regarding Kabul representation. The data was collected through in-depth interviews with religious leaders, Islamic jurists, and communities in Pallangga sub-district. In addition, primary sources such as Islamic law books and related literature are also used as references to support the analysis. The results showed that Kabul's representation in marriage had a deep philosophical basis in Tashri's view. This principle reflects aspects of equality, justice, and responsibility in the marital relationship. This philosophical view provides the foundation for the application of marriage law that accommodates individual and family interests in a balanced manner. In the context of Pallangga sub-district, Kabul representation still has relevance and is applied in marriage practice. However, there are also social and cultural dynamics that influence the interpretation and implementation of this principle. The study concludes that understanding Tasyri's philosophical views on Kabul representation can provide deeper insight into the cultural roots and values that shape the practice of marriage law in the society

Authors: Nagy Ádám , Kerpel-Fronius Balázs
Published: February 2024

Introduction:
The authors examine the agencies of socialisation and attempt to reveal a pattern among these agents. They differentiate social elements and agencies of socialisation, and they endow the latter with three conditions: the requirements of scope, time and intensity and specific set of rules.

Purpose:
The purpose of the paper is to examine which factors satisfy this triple set of requirements.

Methods:
Explanatory method to expose the issue, based on desk research and secondary analysis was used.

Results:
Near the family and the school, the free time space meets the three conditions of the socialization environment (scope, time-intensity, specific set of rules).

Discussion:
The authors believe that these three conditions are not met by any other socialization area.

Conclusions:
All this means that in postmodern society, the institution of the family, which has been with us since pre-modernity, and the institution of the school, which has been with us since modernity, is accompanied by a third socialization macro-agency.
Juraj Dolník – enlightened Slovak linguist of the 20th and 21st centuries
Authors: Orgoňová Oľga
Published: February 2024

Juraj Dolník belongs to the most notable Slovak linguists, next to Ján Horecký (1920 – 2006) or Jozef Mistrík (1921 – 2000). His research areas comprise mainly general linguistics, Slovak studies and German studies. In the synchronic Slovak studies, he has devoted himself thoroughly to the study of lexicology, as well as to individual aspects of cultural stylistics, sociolinguistics and linguistic pragmatics. His ideas about the linguistic culture have become significant stimuli for the Slovak linguistic and cultural theory and language counseling practice. He has also laid the theoretical foundations for studies of linguistic otherness in the Slovak linguistic environment. As a distinguished professor emeritus, he authored a modern trilogy about language and society (2017 – 2021), thus providing further conspicuous methodological and theoretical inspirations for Slovak linguistics, and, in a wider context, also for Slavic linguistics of the 21st century.
Linguistic self-actualization
Authors: Dolník Juraj
Published: February 2024

The author’s intention is to contribute to the interpretation of linguistic self-actualization as a specific form of human self-actualization. In the first part of the text, he discusses self-actualization from an anthropological, philosophical and psychological point of view, in order to be able to formulate a definition of the relevant term. He develops the thesis that self-actualization is a constitutional property of man as a being of his kind and a constituent of the individual, observable in his ontogenesis. He introduces the term self-actualization base and describes it as a structure that determines the authentic way of human activity. Against this background, he approaches the interpretation of language self-actualization and defines the terms mentalization, acquisition, and operational language self-actualization. For him, linguistic self-actualization is an activity by which the user responds to mentalization, socialization and flexible expression needs. How an individual realizes this activity depends on his will to freely navigate the world of signs, language rules and language operations, on his semiotic-practical, imitative and operational practical intelligence disposition, as well as on his decision-making disposition, applied when choosing from options in specific conditions of language use.
Indirect indexical identification
Authors: Zouhar Marián
Published: February 2024

Indexical expressions are typical linguistic means aimed at identifying objects in the surroundings of communication participants. Sometimes, however, by using them, one can single out objects beyond the boundaries of the communication context. For example, by using the pronoun he supplemented by an act of ostension directed at a work of art, one can identify the author of that artwork, not the work itself. This is a case of an indirect indexical identification, which consists in the fact that the object of ostension is different from the object of identification of the use of the indexical expression. This phenomenon poses a challenge to semantic theories of indexical expressions. Their content must be modeled such that the transition from the object of ostension to the object of identification is captured. The paper proposes an explanation according to which the semantic content of the occurrence of an indexical expression used for indirect identification is descriptive (rather than referential). Specifically, it is a content in which the object of identification is described on the basis of its contextually relevant relationship to the object of ostension, which can also be expressed through a suitable descriptive expression. Such an explanation avoids some of the problems that indexical terms used for indirect identification bring.
Stouni, Doorsovia, Velveti. Masculine virile nominal forms for names of music bands and their meanings on metonymic continuum
Authors: Ivanová Martina
Published: February 2024

The study deals with the special usage of masculine virile forms to name music bands in Slovak. The names of music bands are usually classified as a special subtype of chrematonyms which name the artistic groups and are labelled as ergonyms in the theoretical works. Masculine virile forms can be used with a heterogenous range of meanings depending on context which can be understood as result of metonymic transpositions. The study focuses on description of units warranted by proper names which arise in two deproprial processes – transonymization and appellativization. The analysed material comes from web corpus Omnia Slovaca IV Maior. Metonymy is understood as a gradient phenomenon with instantiations that form a continuum on a scale depending on the strength of contiguity. Metonymy gives rise to a variety of readings, which are often difficult to capture and whose meaning has to be specified in the course of interpretation by contextual cues and pragmatic inferences. This fact leads to orthographic instability concerning the usage of capital letters.

Developing a conceptual model for improving the software system reliability
Authors:   Institute of Information Technology, Baku, Azerbaijan, Bayramova Tamilla , Malikova Nazakat ,   Institute of Information Technology, Baku, Azerbaijan
Published: February 2024

In the Industry 4.0 environment, the software systems development methodology is rapidly evolving, flexible technologies and new programming languages are being applied. The development of the software industry has made the issue of the quality of software systems an urgent problem. A number of quality models have been proposed for determining the quality of software systems so far, and these models specify the parameters and criteria for evaluating quality. Software reliability is one of the key indicators among the quality parameters of software systems, as it quantifies software crashes which can bring down even the most powerful system, ensuring that software systems run correctly and unexpected incidents do not occur. The increasing difficulty of the software system, the expansion of the scope of issues assigned on them, and as a result, the significant increase in the volume and complexity of the software system have made the problem of the reliability of the software system even more urgent. The essence of the issue is to reveal the main factors affecting the reliability of software systems, demonstrate existing problems in this area and develop mathematical models for assessing reliability. Mathematical models estimate the number of errors remaining in the software system before commissioning, predict the time of occurrence of the next crash and when the testing process will end. It is necessary to comprehensively approach the issue of ensuring reliability at all stages of the life cycle of the software system. This paper proposes a conceptual model to solve this problem.

This paper analyses the processes of modification with a view to tourism that are currently taking place in the most emblematic public squares in the centre of Seville (Spain). These spaces have historically constituted the preeminent meeting places for collective use. However, as in other cities that are specialised in the tourist sector, Seville is undergoing a radical process of transformation of the public space embodied in its squares. The research, based on a bibliographical and documentary review and ethnographic fieldwork, reveals that the expansion of tourism has altered the secular multifunctional character of the squares anal‑ ysed as places of expression of life and social diversity. It finds that the intensification of tourism is eroding the traditional meanings, social uses and functions of these central spaces. To varying degrees, the increas‑ ing specialisation in tourism is gradually transforming the squares into “tamed” spaces, that is to say subject to the service of tourist activity. At the same time, this process is triggering new uses and functions, leading to newly shaped socio-cultural dynamics.

The insertion of women in the labor market was marked by paradoxes. On the one hand, this pro‑ cess occurred rapidly and haphazardly, understood as fundamental for female emancipation. On the other hand, it was late in coming and established on the basis of sexual division of labor, which assigns domestic work to women and genders activities in the productive sphere, so that this insertion did not substantially change gender hierarchies. In order to understand the participation of women in the formal tourism labor market, secondary data from the Annual Report of Social Information (RAIS) for the year 2019 were used for this research, undertaking a quantitative analysis that showed that the sector did not feminize but is clearly gendered, that is, with activities and occupations differentiated by gender, resulting in the feminization of tasks associated with domestic work, which demand qualities considered innate in women and concentrates them in specific functions, giving rise to processes of horizontal seg

The foodservice industry demands high levels of positive emotional behavior from all workers, especially those who interact directly with consumers. For this reason, emotional intelligence is an area of interest for foodservice. The objective of the study was to analyse the emotional intelligence (EI) of workers in foodservice companies in the cities of Itajaí and Balneário Camboriú, in southern Brazil. To that end, a survey was carried out with a sample of 284 respondents. The data collection instrument was based on the WLEIS scale. Analyses were performed using SPSS and SmartPLS software. As a result, it was seen that employees in the foodservice sector demonstrate how to use their emotions, but have difficulties in managing them. The use of emotion was the EI dimension that obtained the best results, and the emotion regulation dimension was the one that obtained the lowest averages. It is considered that EI is influenced by variables linked to gender, educational level and work position. The information gathered can assist in the subsidy of training and development programs to help employees in the foodservice sector.

Published: February 2024

This article aims to synthesise a larger ethnographic work on the circumstances surrounding the experiences of people with specific accessibility requirements when they indulge in tourism, carried out during 2015 and 2016 on the Alicante coast – Santa Pola, Elche, Benidorm – and the south of Tenerife – Los Cristianos, Arona –. The effects produced by the physical and attitudinal barriers that they have to face are analysed. The objectives outlined in this paper are: to know the factors that act as invisible barriers preventing people with special needs from fully enjoying leisure and tourism; to know why businessmen in the sector show such little interest in attracting clients with special needs; explore whether the image and symbology of special needs has an impact on the tourist experience of people in this category and to clarify whether accessible tourism constitutes a niche or a new market segment. In this regard, we provide passages from the ethnography on which the study is based, through in‑depth interviews and participant observation. Likewise, the progressive application of new technologies to the travel chain accessibility is helping to set up, with greater security and dynamism, a tourism that has set a course towards diversity.

Tourist activity is transforming the economic life of a community with sui generis characteristics. Three events have led to this transformation: the resurgence of new tourism demands, the construction of the highway and the incursion of the federal program of Magic Towns. The objective of this paper focuses on rescuing the voices of local actors on the subject, for which we resorted to the grounded theory methodology to build a new object of study, which questioned local development in San Sebastián del Oeste. The technique used was the Atlas ti program. Among the main results, it was found that: the economic benefits generated by the influx of tourists to the area are reflected in the investments of external enterprises. The locals obtain marginal income. The economic sector with the greatest advantages is local gastronomy

Antenatal care (ANC) is crucial for the health of both mother and child. However, information on ANC in rural Indonesia is limited despite its essential role. This research examined the determinants of adequate antenatal care among rural Indonesian pregnant women. A cross-sectional study analysed pregnant Indonesian women aged 18-49, focusing on adequate antenatal care (ANC) during the third trimester. The study included sociodemographic variables and component factors (knowledge, motivation, social support, and health services). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed.
A total number of 350 pregnant women aged 18–49 years old enrolled in this study. Almost half (47.1) % of women received adequate ANC (≥ eight visits) during their pregnancy, and about 79.1% of participants had adequate ANC (4 or more visits). Mothers with higher education and married were more likely to have adequate ANC (AOR = 1.52; 95% CI [1.12–3.46]) and (AOR = 1.17; 95% CI [1.01–3.32]), respectively. Poor knowledge toward ANC (AOR = 0.41; 95% CI [0.12–0.65], low motivation (AOR = 0.73; 95% CI [0.31–0.97]), poor health service (AOR = 2.76; 95% CI [1.85–4.32]), and poor social support (AOR = 3.24; 95% CI [2.11–5.34]) was negatively associated with adequate ANC. The intervention aims to improve access to maternity care for women in rural Indonesia by enhancing social support, reproductive health awareness, and expanding safety net services
Practices of the Interaction of Muslim Communities of the Steppes with the Government (The 2nd Half of the 19th – Early 20th Century)
Authors: Lysenko Yu. A.
Published: February 2024

Based on the records of the central and local government of the Russian Empire, stored in the Central State Archive of the Republic of Kazakhstan and Russian State Historical Archive, the article analyzes the aspects and practices of interaction between the authorities and Muslim communities of the Steppe Region in the 2nd half of the 19th – early 20th century. Unlike the Orthodox population living in this administrative-territorial division, whose spiritual life was controlled by the officials assigned by the Holy Synod, Muslims were in the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Hence, the regional administration and several central ministries were directly involved in solving the problems of the spiritual life of Muslims of the Steppes. The competence of these authorities included establishing new parish organizations and constructing the worship places, founding confessional schools and religious and charitable societies, and organizing the believers’ pilgrimage to holy places. The legislation regulating the decision-making process for such tasks required submitting a petition to the local authorities, followed by their step-by-step consideration and then resolution. The central aspect of communication between the governing bodies and the Muslim communities was the establishment of the Spiritual Board in the Steppe region. The Kazakh population filed countless petitions to the central government during the first Russian Revolution of 1905–1907. As a result of the petition campaign, the practice of holding special and private meetings with the participation of representatives from authorities and Muslim communities of the region emerged. As sources evidence, when making decisions concerning the Muslims of the Steppe Region, local administrations relied on the trends in ethno-confessional policy implemented by the central government. Therefore, quite often, outcomes did not benefit the local Muslim population. However, in other aspects, the communication between the authorities and the Muslim communities can be characterized as constructive.

The history of the military medical service in Turkestan during the imperial period has yet to be thoroughly studied. This article aims to analyze the formation of the military healthcare system in Central Asia during the 1860s based on various approaches and methods and a wide range of archival materials, regulatory legal acts, historical sources, and scientific literature. The research delves into the state of traditional medicine in the region before the Russian conquest, examines the issues of adapting Russian troops to local climate conditions during the Turkestan campaigns, and analyzes the activities of military medical ranks, and the process of establishing military medical institutions in the Turkestan region, and later, in the Turkestan General-Governorship (Turkestan Military District). The study concludes that by the end of the 1860s, the military medicine system was established in the Turkestan Region, which includes regulations, military medical institutions such as hospitals, semi-hospitals (polu-gospitals), infirmaries (lazarets), and personnel to assist not only the servicemen of the Russian army but also the local population.

Objetivo: Abordar os desafios enfrentados no diagnóstico da sífilis durante a gestação dentro do contexto da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) no Brasil. Explora aspectos relacionados à epidemiologia, diagnóstico e tratamento dessa condição. Revisão bibliográfica: A prevalência de sífilis na gestação atingiu 1,02% em 2019, evidenciando disparidades sociais no acesso à saúde. Em outros estudos houve um aumento de casos de 183,93%. Nesse cenário, a APS emerge como elemento crucial para a detecção precoce, intervenção eficaz e salvaguarda da saúde materno-infantil. Estratégias de rastreamento e testes rápidos são considerados instrumentos indispensáveis para identificar gestantes infectadas, permitindo intervenções tempestivas que podem alterar o curso da doença. a atuação da APS não se limita apenas ao diagnóstico, abarcando também o tratamento adequado, a prevenção de reinfecções e o suporte psicossocial às gestantes. Diversos desafios se apresentam, incluindo a falta de adesão ao tratamento e barreiras socioeconômicas que podem comprometer o alcance efetivo das intervenções. Considerações finais: Há necessidade premente de compreender a complexidade da sífilis na gestação na APS, visando promover políticas de saúde mais eficientes e abrangentes. A abordagem integral dessas questões é fundamental para enfrentar os desafios presentes e melhorar os resultados de saúde materno-infantil no contexto brasileiro.

Dental implant restoration is known to be a widely accepted treatment modality for the replacement of missing teeth and the restoration of masticatory function. Abutment screw loosening is one of the most common causes of failure in single implant-supported restorations, next to loss of osseointegration. Moreover, cement-retained implant-supported prostheses are infamous for their lack of predictable retrievability compared to screw-retained implant-supported prostheses. Management and retrieval of loosening screws are challenging, and this clinical report discusses the procedure for retrieving prosthesis from the abutment of the mandibular molar tooth with minimal damage to the existing restoration, making it possible to be reused.
