La contribución de la Sociología Política Internacional al pensamiento crítico en Relaciones Internacionales
Authors: Pontes Nogueira João , Huysmans Jef , Vitón García Gonzalo
Published: June 2022

Por mucho tiempo considerada una disciplina preocupada con el problema del orden, las Relaciones Internacionales pasaron por un proceso de transformación que amplió su alcance hacia las esferas más diversas de la vida social y política del mundo contemporáneo. Una parte significativa del crédito de este proceso de renovación puede ser atribuida al giro crítico en los estudios internacionales. Al incorporar el dinamismo intelectual del posestructuralismo y del posmarxismo a los debates teóricos en el área, el pensamiento crítico internacional creó las condiciones para la actual diversificación y pluralización del área. El presente artículo discute cómo la Sociología Política Internacional (SPI) surge como efecto de este proceso de cuáles son sus contribuciones para el desarrollo de formas innovadoras de crítica de la política mundial contemporánea. Intentamos mostrar cómo, a través de métodos y epistemologías transdisciplinares, la SPI ofrece nuevas formas de articular procesos sociales y políticos en el espacio internacional, repensando y problematizando sus fronteras y límites. El artículo propone, en la primera sección, que la Sociología Política Internacional tiene sus linajes intelectuales en el giro crítico en Relaciones Internacionales, y se desarrolla profundizando el potencial de una perspectiva analítica del poder como descentralizado y fragmentado, así como de concepciones de agencia situada en campos sociales específicos. Lo que se intenta, es pensar lo internacional con base en una topología alternativa que explore transversalidades y evite el pensamiento en niveles y escalas. A continuación, discutimos algunos de los conceptos clave de la SPI, como transversalidad, campos sociales, ensamblajes, entre otros, para después mostrar cómo este campo piensa el problema del cambio, el lugar de las prácticas en la reflexión sobre la agencia, y la prioridad para el análisis de flujos e intersticios. Finalmente, el artículo reflexiona sobre el lugar de la Sociología Política Internacional en la disciplina de Relaciones Internacionales y sobre su contribución específica para el pensamiento crítico internacional.
La fuerza lógica de los argumentos a la luz del extraño caso de los comedores de ajo crudo
Authors: Marraud Huberto
Published: June 2022

En “Argumentos fuertes” Tindale y Barrientos argumentan que el concepto de fuerza de los argumentos es retórico, apelando al carácter contextual de la evaluación retórica, que la diferencia, a su juicio, de las evaluaciones lógica y dialéctica. Argumentaré que el carácter no contextual de las propiedades lógicas proviene de una concepción inferencista de la lógica, que es incompatible con la idea de que argumentar es presentar, para su examen, algo a alguien como una razón para otra cosa. En consecuencia, abogaré por una concepción razonista de la lógica. Trataré de mostrar, además, que las metáforas de la fuerza y del peso de los argumentos pueden ser confundentes porque sugiere que la argumentación está compuesta de unidades discretas que es posible aislar y comparar entre sí.

Effect of mineral materials content as filler in medium density fiberboard
Authors: Özdemir Ferhat
Published: June 2022

The use of different mineral material types and contents in medium density fiberboard (MDF) production was investigated. Three different minerals (sepiolite, dolomite, and perlite) and five different ratios (3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, and 15%) were used according to the oven-dry wood fiber weight. These minerals were homogeneously added as powder between the wood fibers. Some physical, mechanical, limit oxygen index (LOI), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) tests of the boards were conducted. The mineral fillers negatively affected the physical properties such as water absorption (WA), thickness swelling (ThS), and mechanical properties such as modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), and internal bond (IB). However, LOI and TGA test results showed a positive effect on combustion resistance depending on the type and rate of mineral fillers.

Authors: Shahid Mohammad , Khaliq Ahmad , Mohtesham Mohammed Meeran Jasir
Published: June 2022

Abstract. To accelerate Akhuwat microfinance growth and lessen its cost to assist the poor, the current study proposes Fintech Rich Hybrid Islamic Micro-Finance (FRHIMF) model. This study adopts a qualitative approach relying on the content analysis of secondary sources, such as research articles, journals, conference papers, and websites. The study reveals that to achieve socio-economic mobility, poor people are in requisite of adequate financing. However, Islamic commercial banks generally finance major businesses and medium- to high-income proficient workers in consumer finance. Thus, the poor are unable to access funding to meet their liquidity constraints and the needs of small business finance. Akhuwat microfinance is a globally renowned institution that has played a vital role in supporting the underprivileged community. The implementation of FRHIMF has greater potential to increase Akhuwat microfinance accessibility.Keywords.  Microfinance, Akhuwat, Poverty, Fintech Rich Hybrid Islamic Micro-FinanceJEL: D64,O1,O2 Abstrak. Untuk mempercepat pertumbuhan keuangan mikro Akhuwat dan menekan biayanya untuk membantu orang miskin, studi ini mengusulkan model Fintech Rich Hybrid Islamic Micro-Finance (FRHIMF). Studi ini mengadopsi pendekatan kualitatif dengan melakukan analisis konten terhadap  sumber-sumber sekunder berupa hasil-hasil penelitian, jurnal, makalah konferensi, dan situs web. Kajian ini mengungkapkan bahwa untuk mencapai mobilitas sosial ekonomi, masyarakat miskin membutuhkan pembiayaan yang memadai. Namun, bank syariah umumnya membiayai bisnis besar dan pekerja terampil berpenghasilan menengah ke atas untuk pembiayaan konsumsi. Dengan demikian, masyarakat miskin tidak dapat mengakses pendanaan untuk memenuhi kendala likuiditas dan kebutuhan pembiayaan usaha kecil. Keuangan mikro Akhuwat adalah lembaga yang terkenal secara global yang telah memainkan peran penting dalam mendukung masyarakat yang kurang mampu. Penerapan FRHIMF berpotensi besar untuk meningkatkan aksesibilitas keuangan mikro Akhuwat.Kata kunci. Keuangan Mikro, Akhuwat, Kemiskinan, Fintech Rich Hybrid Islamic Micro-FinanceJEL: D64,O1,O2

Published: June 2022

Abstract. This study is to measure and analyze the levels of productivity and liquidity of Islamic Banks in Indonesia. This study uses a non-parametric method, contrived from the Malmquist Productivity Index, to measure and analyze the level of productivity of Islamic Banks. Also, this study uses the Liquidity Creation (LC) scale as a liquidity indicator. The regression of the Tobit model is used to measure the effects of independent variables, namely; productivity, liquidity, Financing to Deposit Ratios/FDR, Non-Performance Financing/NPF, and the Capital Adequacy Ratio/CAR, on the profitability of Islamic banks, as represented by Return on Assets/ROA. This study shows that FDR, NPF, and CAR are statistically significant to ROA, while Total Factor Productivity/TFP and LC are not statistically significant. Other results show the level of productivity of Islamic Banks decreased during the period 2011-2020. In terms of liquidity level, Islamic banks did have a sound level of liquidity, based on mapping the criteria of FDR, NPF, and CAR, where the LC always grew. This study shows the novelty of integrating productivity, liquidity, and profitability techniques, to measure Islamic Banking Performance in Indonesia.Keywords: Islamic Bank, Total Factor Productivity, Liquidity Creation, ProfitabilityJEL: G21, R51 Abstrak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengukur dan menganalisis tingkat produktivitas dan likuiditas Bank Umum Syariah di Indonesia.

Selain itu, penelitian ini menggunakan Liquidity Creation (LC) sebagai indikator likuiditas. Regresi model Tobit digunakan untuk mengukur pengaruh variabel bebas, yaitu; produktivitas, likuiditas, Financing to Deposit Ratio/FDR, Non-Performance Financing/NPF, dan Capital Adequacy Ratio/CAR terhadap profitabilitas bank syariah yang direpresentasikan oleh Return on Assets/ROA. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa FDR, NPF, dan CAR berpengaruh signifikan terhadap ROA, sedangkan Total Factor Productivity/TFP dan LC tidak berpengaruh signifikan. Hasil lainnya menunjukkan bahwa tingkat produktivitas Bank Umum Syariah menurun selama periode 2011-2020. Dari sisi tingkat likuiditas, bank syariah memang memiliki tingkat likuiditas yang sehat berdasarkan pemetaan kriteria FDR, NPF dan CAR, dimana LC selalu meningkat setiap periode. Studi ini menunjukkan kebaruan dalam integrasi teknik produktivitas, likuiditas, dan profitabilitas, untuk mengukur kinerja perbankan Syariah di Indonesia. Keywords: Bank Syariah, Total Factor Productivity, Liquidity Creation, ProfitabilityJEL: G21, R51

Authors: Alexandi Muhammad Findi , Murti Prima Puspita Indra
Published: June 2022

The study analyzed the data released by BPS RI from 2010 to 2019. There is a tendency for the growth rate of Indonesian people's spending on food and non-food to be lower than the growth rate of its national disposable income. This shows that Indonesian income has entered the upper-middle-income level. Further, some of the income earned has been saved or invested. A descriptive analysis and double linear regression analysis are used in this study. Data shows that household spending on GDP in Indonesia is more than 50%. This study finds a shift in household expenditure structure between food and non-food consumption. Food expenditure experienced a steep decline from 1999 to 2019. The analysis shows that independent variables encompassing inflation, national disposable income, public saving position and ZIS funds distribution significantly influenced household expenditure.  AbstrakPenelitian ini menganalisis data yang dirilis BPS RI tahun 2010 hingga 2019 tentang kecenderungan laju pertumbuhan pengeluaran masyarakat Indonesia untuk makanan dan nonmakanan. Data menjelaskan bahwa pengeluaran makana lebih rendah dari pendapatan disposabel nasional. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pendapatan masyarakat Indonesia memasuki tingkat pendapatan menengah ke atas. Saat ini, lebih banyak orang yang menginvestasikan pendapatan mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan analisis regresi linier berganda dan menunjukkan bahwa pengeluaran rumah tangga terhadap PDB di Indonesia lebih dari 50%. Struktur pengeluaran rumah tangga dari konsumsi makanan bergeser ke bukan makanan. Ditemukan bahwa pengeluaran pangan mengalami penurunan tajam dari tahun 1999 hingga 2019. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa variabel bebas yang meliputi inflasi, pendapatan disposabel nasional, posisi tabungan masyarakat, dan penyaluran dana ZIS berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pengeluaran rumah tangga.
Hybrid Contract in Islamic Financial Services
Authors: Hasanudin Hasanudin , Dewi Nisrina Mutiara , Pertiwi Gine Putri , Wijayanti Feby
Published: June 2022

The hybrid contract is needed to accommodate modern transactions unavailable in the classical Islamic period. The current financial service products use hybrid contracts, such as in debt transfer, import and export letters of credit, and credit cards. The evaluation of the use of contracts in these products reveals the use of multiple alternative contracts in debt transfer and Letters of Credit; and single contract alternative for credit card services. This study shows the complexity of contracts in modern financial products, requiring more complex documentation. The merger of several contracts in one transaction is based on the argument that there is no prohibition on using multiple contracts in one transaction, as long as it avoids usury (ribā).  AbstrakPenggabungan akad merupakan kebutuhan untuk mewadahi transaksi modern yang tidak ditemukan di masa Islam klasik. Bentuk penggabungan akad tersebut terjadi di antaranya pada produk jasa keuangan modern seperti pengalihan utang, Letter of Credit impor dan ekspor, dan kartu kredit. Dengan mengevaluasi penggunaan akad-akad dalam produk tersebut ditemukan beberapa alternatif penggabungan akad pada produk pengalihan hutang dan Letter of Credit, serta satu alternatif penggabungan akad untuk produk kartu kredit. Penggabungan akad tersebut didasarkan atas argumen tidak ada larangan penggabungan akad selama tidak menimbulkan ribā. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan kompleksitas akad pada produk keuangan modern yang pada praktiknya membutuhkan dokumentasi yang lebih kompleks.

Published: June 2022

The National University administers several scholarships for new students each year. The problem is, the University does not yet have a standard method for determining beneficiaries. They have difficulty in determining prospective scholarship recipients with the same criteria. In fact, sometimes it only relies on people's instincts, which can be subjective. The University should implement a DSS system to overcome this problem. Therefore, in this study, the AHP method is applied and used to weight the criteria and test the level of consistency so that the criteria are in accordance with the type of scholarship. In addition, the SAW method is also used for determining scholarship recipients according to the quota. The results of this study are the priority weights of the importance of each criterion, namely the average value of report cards (0.35), parents' income (0.23), certificates (0.05), affidavits of not working and receiving scholarships (0.15), year of graduation (0.11) and number of certificates (0.10). The consistency ratio value is 0.03741 indicating the weight is consistent. This study also resulted in the best ranking of candidates for academic scholarships, with a result of 0.93. The average value of the application test results using the TAM method is 80.5%.

Authors: Крушельницька Таїсія
Published: June 2022

This article analyzes the current state of financial self-sufficiency of the territorial communities of Ukraine, investigates the mechanisms of forming local budgets in the context of decentralization and identifies new economic and institutional difficulties for community development.The relevance of this article is condition by the need to address the problems of creating adequate material, financial and organizational conditions to ensure the exercise of local and regional authorities' own and delegated powers. It is determined that decentralization is a complex system of public management of organizational and functional influence of public authorities on the functioning and development of territories.The analysis of the state of practical implementation of financial support of territorial communities. It is revealed that against the background of increasing absolute size of local budget revenues, their share in GDP, which is redistributed through local budgets in the period 2002–2006 was 20 %, in 2007, before the global financial crisis, reached 32.71 %, and Since 2015, since the beginning of decentralization, it has fluctuated at the level of 15%. This level is slightly lower than in the developed countries of Europe, which indicates a strong growth potential for Ukraine.The level of financial dependence/independence of local budgets from intergovernmental transfers from the State Budget. It found that the share of local budgets, formed with the participation of intergovernmental transfers remains quite high, although in 2018–2019 there was a tendency to decrease and increase the financial capacity of local budgets. Thus, right after the start of decentralization in 2015, their share was 59.08 % (own 40.92 %), and in 2019 they are expected to decrease to 50.2 % (correspondingly, their own increase to 47.34 %). Although, overall, there has been a tendency to strengthen the financial capacity of territorial communities, the practice of looking toward reducing the share of taxes credited to local budgets is an example of inconsistent state budgetary policy.In order to shape the financial self-sufficiency of territorial communities in the course of decentralization, an important institutional complication has emerged and needs to be address. We mean rethinking the role of local governments in shaping the local budget, eradicating paternalism, and fostering the philosophy of ownership and responsibility of each citizen in the development of society and the territorial community.

Published: June 2022

The article deals with the actual problem of ensuring the activity of the border unit. The author made an attempt to analyse the performance indicators for the implementation of functions of operational and service activities within the organizational and staff structure.One of the normative characteristics of the effectiveness of the implementation of the functions of the state border guard within the organizational and staff structure is the indicator of efficiency losses. In scientific work the expression of the index of losses of efficiency of realization of one function of operative-service (combat) activity within the organizational-staff structure is formed.The author has used knowledge about the application of mathematical models in order to fulfil the requirements for the reliability of the research results. Mathematical models reproduce the similarity of processes in a real system. The method of structural and functional similarity estimation was used to compare simulation results and practical tests.It is emphasized that the organizational structure is a multifaceted entity in relation to which the definition of "efficiency" is not yet accurately interpreted. It was determined that the only indicator of effectiveness in the scientific literature was not considered. At the same time, the principle of formal representation of the effectiveness of the organizational and staff structure has not yet been established.The author presented an indicator of the effectiveness of the organizational and staff structure of the border unit, which should meet the known requirements for indicators and reproduce the most important properties of the structure.As a result, it is concluded that the resulting indicator can be used in the future to analyse the consistency of the results of work performed on a given function in the organizational structure of a specific border unit.

Published: June 2022

The article is devoted to the consideration of key features and identification of prospects for the application of the new edition of the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) in local self-government of Ukraine, which was published in 2020.The authors conducted a study of the development of the CAF model, which was created by the European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA) to promote good governance, and considered the prerequisites for the introduction and promotion of its use in local self-government in Ukraine. The experience of self-assessment is considered, which shows that the first steps in the application of CAF in Ukraine are made by public authorities, while in Europe the most common use of the model is in local self-governments. To date, self-assessment and benchmarking based on CAF is not a common and recognized tool for improving performance in Ukraine.The 20-year experience and stages of maturity of the CAF model since its creation are analyzed, which allowed to single out 5 phases of development. The characteristics of the guiding principles of the 2020 model publication are given. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of key differences in CAF 2013 and CAF 2020. CAF is seen as a tool to promote good governance, ensure the quality of public services and increase customer satisfaction and local businesses. The goals and principles of CAF 2020 and their connection with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (UN), international ISO standards for management systems and European strategies are analyzed.It is determined that the use of internationally recognized principles, established practices (which can include CAF) will allow local self-governments of Ukraine to demonstrate reliability and ensure the sustainability of the development of the territory. Accentuate the possibility of using CAF through the implementation of mini-projects of self-assessment through international programs and technical assistance projects, the importance of promoting benchmarking and international exchange of experience to improve the quality of local self-government services, motivation of staff and increase the level of satisfaction of the local community.
Types of states in the context of the social function of the state
Authors: Венцель Віктор , Купрійчук Василь
Published: June 2022

The article deals with the problems of typology States peculiarities of a government social function depending on countries.The features of formational and civilizational approaches to the typology of states are characterized. The main criterion in the formational approach is the mode of industry production (the level of development of productive resources and production relations), which is determined by the dominant form of ownership of the means of production, as well as the class structure of society. The civilizational approach explains the multi-vector historical development, in particular the fact that states develop differently and reach different economic or social levels of development. This is due to the accumulated historical and cultural development, national characteristics, mentality, social norms of behavior, etc. That is, the type and development of the state largely depends on the national culture and worldview of society, and the state is the most important factor in the spiritual and cultural development of society.Found out that today a fundamentally new type of capitalist state is being formed – it is becoming more socially oriented, losing its class character, human ideology and the state of the common good are becoming a new ideology. Globalization and the formation of a post-industrial society have a significant impact on the modern development of states, which radically changes the classical form of capitalism. It is determined that the main problem of modernity is the formation of a new type of state that should combine the economic ideology of capitalism and the ideology of social welfare.It is established that the main criteria used for typology can not perfectly and comprehensively explain the peculiarities of the formation and development of states, as well as unambiguously formulate the place and role of the state in its social function. The necessity of further research of characteristic features of different types of states is substantiated for the purpose of revealing of characteristic features of the states, their patterns of development, and also modeling of possible variants of the further existence and development of the states.

A harmonious balance of the participation of state institutions in the affairs of society will protect civil society from unnecessary impact, but will create conditions for its development. The model focuses on the citizen (free individual), from whom the entire system of public administration is built; relations between civil society and power are based on the principles of individualism, not collectivism.

It is noted that quality assurance in local government should begin with an intensive study of internal relationships between existing management processes – the implementation of a process approach methodology. To outline approaches to the processes’ definition and description that ensure the local government activities and services quality, a relationships’ scheme between the basic concepts of DSTU ISO 9000:2015 in relation to processes and results of activities. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the application of ISO 18091:2019 guidelines on adapting the process approach to local government bodies’ activities is extremely important in Ukraine, given the need to form a comprehensive control system in the field of administrative services delivery and increase the civil society institutions’ participation in relevant public monitoring projects.

The article considers the peculiarities of the reforms of the territorial organization of power at the municipal level in Northern European countries. The reforms are aimed at developing the local self-government system, as well as increasing the efficiency and improving the coordination of services provided by local communities. In this regard, the article studies the content of the two main directions of local territorial reforms in European countries, which began in the twentieth century and continue today. These directions are based on encouraging local communities to collaborate through a network of organizations for inter-communal cooperation and/or community consolidation through mergers to properly fulfil municipal and administrative functions.The approaches used in Denmark, Norway and Finland to ensure greater efficiency of the local government system and to create capable local communities, which can more effectively perform the tasks of local self-government, have been analysed. The peculiarities of municipal reforming in Norway, characterized by consistency and the clear definition of the steps of its implementation, have been revealed; the results of reducing the number of municipalities have been shown. The specifics and stages of municipal transformations in Finland, during which measures were taken to encourage municipalities to merge freely, have been analysed; the reasons that negatively affected the implementation of local self-government reform at the local level have been highlighted. It has been concluded that there is a common trend for these countries to create larger municipalities through mergers, which is more effective applying coercive measures and state incentives to amalgamate local communities.
