تحليل مقارن للأثر التراكمي والتوزيعي لكل من الزكاة والضريبة
Authors: Aouıssı Amine , Moumeni Smail
Published: December 2024

نبحث في هذه الدراسة إمكانية استخدام الزكاة كبديل للضريبة، مع تسليط الضوء على الزكاة كأداة لتعزيز تراكم رأس المال، وتوسيع دائرة الشمول الاقتصادي، وتمكين الطبقات المهمشة في المجتمع. فالدراسة تعتبر وتقدم الزكاة ليس فقط كالتزام ديني، بل كأداة اقتصادية واجتماعية متعددة الأوجه وجزء لا يتجزأ من الإطار العام للاقتصاد الإسلامي. الدراسة في جوهرها، تؤكد على ضرورة إيجاد بديل لآلية إعادة توزيع الدخل الحالية بهدف تعزيز العدالة الاقتصادية والتماسك الاجتماعي، لا سيما داخل العالم الإسلامي. خاصة بالنظر للتحديات المستمرة التي يفرضها اتساع الفوارق المتزايد في الدخل، والفقر الراسخ، والإقصاء الاجتماعي، الذي تفاقم بسبب نظم الضريبة الحالية المحلية والعالمية. ردًا على ذلك، يقترح البحث الزكاة كآلية لمعالجة هذه القضايا، والاستفادة من مبادئ العدالة والشمولية التي تتميز بها هذه الأخيرة (الزكاة). ومن الأفكار المحورية في هذه الدراسة، فكرة الزكاة باعتبارها الركن الثالث للإسلام والركن الاقتصادي الوحيد، وما تحمله من إمكانات كبيرة للتحول الاقتصادي. وعلى عكس الضريبة، تعمل الزكاة على مبادئ التضامن الاجتماعي والمسؤولية المتبادلة، ولا تهدف فقط إلى إعادة توزيع الثروة ولكن أيضًا إلى الارتقاء بالشرائح المهمشة في المجتمع وشملهم اقتصاديا واجتماعيا. من خلال توفير رأس المال للمحتاجين دون التزامات أو تكاليف مرهقة، كما تعمل الزكاة كأداة قوية للتمكين الاقتصادي. يهدف هذا البحث أيضا ليكون بمثابة حافزا لمزيد من البحث في إمكانات الزكاة كقوة تحويلية في الإدارة الاقتصادية. من خلال تسليط الضوء على وظائف إعادة التوزيع والمزايا النسبية، كما يمكن أن تفتح هذه الدراسة مجالا للبحث المستقبلي في الاقتصاد الإسلامي. فهذا البحث يساهم في المناقشات الجارية حول تقاطع الدين والاقتصاد والعدالة الاجتماعية، ويقدم رؤى جديدة في السعي إلى اقتصاد عالمي أكثر إنصافًا وشمولاً. وسعياً لتحقيق أهداف هذا البحث، نستخدم منهجاً يتمحور حول المقارنة بين متغيرين اقتصاديين: الزكاة والضرائب. وإدراكًا لأوجه التشابه والاختلاف بين هذين النظامين، تقوم الدراسة بفحصهما من خلال الأساليب الوصفية والتاريخية، وتتبع تطورهما ووظائفهما مع مرور الوقت. وبالاستناد إلى الإطار التاريخي، يحلل البحث الزكاة والضرائب في سياق كل منهما. علاوة على ذلك، تستخدم الدراسة التحليل الرياضي لتشريح ومحاكاة تأثير هذه الأنظمة، بما يتماشى مع المبادئ الاقتصادية المعاصرة. ومن خلال هذا النهج متعدد الأوجه، يسعى البحث إلى توفير فهم شامل للزكاة والضرائب، وتسهيل الحصول على رؤى مستنيرة حول أدوارهما وآثارهما في الحوكمة الاقتصادية.
Platon’da ve Aristoteles’te Var Olmayanın Varlığı: Me On
Authors: Orhan Yakup , Akdeniz Emrah
Published: December 2024

Platon ve Aristoteles var olmayanın/me on varlığını, Parmenidesçi yaklaşımın yol açtığı sorunlara çözüm bulmak için temellendirmektedir. Her ne kadar iki filozof da Parmenides’in düşünüş biçimin yol açtığı soruna karşı çözüm üretmek için, var olmayanın/me on var olduğu savını savunsalar da meseleyi ele alış biçimlerinden kaynaklanan temel bir fark bulunmaktadır. Platon’un düşünüş biçiminde var olmayan/me on, kendinde bir mahiyete sahip olmadığından idea ile arasında sürekliliğe dayanan bir ilişki bulunmamaktadır. Platon düşüncesinde var olmayan/me on, asıl ve hakiki varlık olan ideayı hatırlatması bakımından işaret olarak anlamlıdır. Bu nedenle hakiki varlık olan idea ve var olmayan arasında doğrudan bir geçiş yoktur. İdea ve var olmayan arasında kurulan ilişki pay alma üzerinden açıklanmaktadır. Var olmayan/me on, kendisinde devinimin ve oluşun gerçekleştiği birleşik şeyleri ifade etmektedir. Bu şeyler, basit ve saf olan eidos’un terkibi ile meydana gelmektedir. Bu bakımdan, birleşik yapıda olan şeylerdir ve varlığını asıl ve hakiki varlık olan ideadan/eidos’tan almaktadır. Aristoteles’in düşünüş biçiminde var olmayan/me on ve asıl varlık olan töz arasında sürekliliğe dayanan bir geçiş bulunmaktadır. Bu süreklilik tözün/ousia iki ciheti olan imkân/dynamis ve etkinlik/energeia şeklinde ele alınmaktadır. Aristoteles’e göre var olmayan/me on imkân/dynamis olarak vardır. Dynamis olarak var olan, tözün/ousia olabilme ve olmama durumları ile ilgili cihetidir. Bu anlamda dynamis bir şeyin kendi içerisinde sahip olabileceği durumlardan yoksun olmasını kasteder. Yoksunluk/staresis, var olmayanın varlığı olarak zamanda henüz gerçekleşmemiş olandır. Bu bakımdan töz/ousia, bu yoksunluk nedeniyle devinebilmektedir. Tözün etkin/energeia ciheti ise o şeyin gerçek halidir. Bir şey kendisinde sahip olduğu imkânları açığa çıkardığında, o şey etkin/energeia olma haline geçebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Platon’un ve Aristoteles’in, var olmayanın/me on varlığını ele alış biçimlerini ve bunu nasıl temellendirdiklerini inceleyeceğiz.

Authors: Suryawati IGA. Alit , Wahyuandari Wenni , Halmina Andi , Rahmayanti Nia , Winarko Hilarius Bambang
Published: December 2024

This article explores the influence of social media on public opinion through the lens of literary and cultural perspectives. Utilizing a qualitative methodology grounded in literature review and library research, the study investigates how narratives, symbols, and cultural discourses on social media shape collective perceptions and behaviors. Social media platforms serve as powerful spaces where individuals negotiate identities, construct meanings, and disseminate ideologies. By examining theoretical frameworks and case studies from various disciplines, this research uncovers the mechanisms by which social media content reinforces or challenges dominant cultural narratives. Findings highlight that social media amplifies marginalized voices while simultaneously perpetuating echo chambers and misinformation. Furthermore, the interplay between visual and textual elements on platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok exemplifies the role of storytelling in shaping public sentiment. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how cultural artifacts and digital storytelling influence the formation of public opinion in the contemporary digital landscape. It calls for critical engagement with social media practices to address issues of polarization, bias, and ethical communication. The insights from this research are valuable for scholars, policymakers, and media practitioners seeking to navigate and harness the socio-cultural dynamics of digital media environments.

Authors: Rashidah Noor  , Professor Dr. Asif Jamil  , Shahid Iqbal khan
Published: December 2024

The present research aimed at establishing the internal antecedent affecting course choices by intermediate students, self-generated forces that included interest, ability, curiosity, and joy. The sample consist of first year science and arts students from male and female, both private and public sector university students in district Mianwali. Questionnaire was used to administer the data and later the data was analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences. Research indicated that extrinsic motivators, including subject interest, choice, learning capacity, and desire influenced subject selection. Most students were inclined by their abilities and interests as they selected their courses. However, there are other more basic aspects such as fun and interest, which were scarcely noticed; this is because students highly valued match of their academic courses to their skills instead of fun or interest in the course content. This outlines an omission in students’ utilization of intrinsic factors; therefore, there is a need to increase the focus on using curiosity and enjoyment within educational decision making. The study is conducted with small sample size due to several research constraints. In future, studies could be conducted with larger sample size including adding more variables for wide demographic coverage to obtain the verifiable result to be generalized to capture greater understanding on the issue.

Macroeconomic Determinants of Exchange Rate Dynamics in Nigeria
Authors: Obuareghe Goddey , Orubu Christopher O. , Awogbemi Titus O.
Published: December 2024

The study examined Nigeria's macroeconomic determinants of exchange rate dynamics over thirty-seven years, from 1986 to 2022. The major data sources are the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, World Bank Development Indicator, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, the U.S Federal Reserve Bank, and other relevant literature. The study adopted the structural Vector Autoregressive (VAR) estimate to test the responses of exchange rates. Other estimation techniques considered are Impulse Response Function and Variance Decomposition Test. The study reported that past exchange rate (EXCR) values respond positively to an increase in innovation shock, and the response is statistically significant up to the second horizon. More so, past values of broad money supply and changes in crude oil prices positively impact the exchange rate. However, the study affirmed that past government capital expenditure and trade openness values are statistically insignificant but positively impact the exchange rate. Again, exchange rates respond speedily to changes in broad money supply, government expenditure, oil price fluctuation, degree of trade openness, and inflation rate. Hence, the study concludes that past values of broad money supply, government capital expenditure, changes in crude prices, and inflation rates are major macroeconomic determinants of the exchange rate in Nigeria. As such, the study submits that policymakers are to pay close attention to the rising rate at which more money is outside the shores of the Nigerian banking industry. Lastly, more federal government expenditures should be allocated to capital expenditure.

An Examination of the Reforms Implemented by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in Australia during the Early 19 th Century: Underlying Motivations and Lasting Effects.
Authors: Nguyễn Minh Giang
Published: December 2024

During the early 19 th  century, the intellectual currents of Scottish Enlightenment significantly infiltrated New South Wales. Macquarie instigated reforms that had a direct bearing on the economic, ideological, and cultural landscape of New South Wales. The ideological framework established by these reforms continues to exert influence on contemporary Australian political culture. Employing a methodology that synthesizes and analyzes secondary qualitative data, this article elucidates the formation and evolution of the Australian economy in conjunction with British foreign trade and Enlightenment philosophical discourse of the early 19 th  century, aiming to reconstruct the contextual backdrop that led to the inevitable emergence of Macquarie’s reforms and their ramifications. The article assesses the legacy of the reforms on Australian economy, ideology, culture to critically evaluate their contributions and significance. Building upon this foundation, the article draws parallels with certain reforms enacted in Asia during the 19 th  century to elucidate some distinctive characteristics inherent in the reforms instituted by Macquarie.

Recognized as a strategic area that connects the plateau with the mountainous regions of northwestern Vietnam, Lương Sơn experienced rapid growth in its population, landscape, and society. However, the Communist Party’s conventional literature obscured the district’s rich history of colonial administrative and socio-cultural development. To give colonial Lương Sơn more color, this article uses textual analysis of source materials and new Vietnamese local history literature about the area. This helps historians and locals understand the vital role the district played in the development of Hòa Bình Province, which is evident in its growth under communist rule.
Role of the Vietnamese Diplomatic Envoys in Trade between Vietnam and China during the 18-19 Centuries.
Authors: Trần Đức Anh Sơn
Published: December 2024

After gaining independence in the 10th century, Vietnam (formerly known as Đại Việt) established diplomatic relations with China based on a “universal order” relationship, wherein China was the “suzerain” and Vietnam was the “tributary state.” Consequently, Vietnam was required to periodically send envoys bearing tribute to Chinese dynasties and perform other diplomatic missions. This activity persisted from the 11th century until the late 19th century. However, from the Lê-Trịnh era (17th century onwards), the envoys sent by Vietnam to China also undertook commercial activities assigned by the Vietnamese court. Based on Vietnamese and Chinese historical sources, this paper provides an overview of the method by which the Vietnamese court, from the Lê-Trịnh era to the Nguyễn dynasty (17th century to the late 19th century), dispatched envoys to China; the routes taken by these envoys through established pathways connecting China and Vietnam since the 14th century; and discusses the role of Vietnamese envoys in concurrent commercial activities during their missions to China in the 18th and 19th centuries. The paper also lists the tribute items and some goods that Nguyễn dynasty envoys brought to China for tribute or trade, as well as the goods that the envoys purchased for the Vietnamese court.

Central Banks as a Source of Knowledge for good financial crisis management
Authors: Mittelstädt René
Published: December 2024

The 2008 financial crisis substantially increased public and scholarly discussion on central banks' roles. In order to guarantee efficient financial crisis management, this article looks at the structure of knowledge transmission from central banks to the legislature. The relationship between central banks and policy makers is investigated, drawing from a qualitative research that includes expert interviews with representatives of European central banks. According to the research, central banks possess a high degree of competence; yet, there are obstacles in the way of information transmission to political entities. Expert knowledge management has the potential to mitigate these deficiencies. Since the 2008 financial crisis, the organisation has made advances, but there are still shortcomings, especially in the areas of communication and policy-making. By doing so, this paper closes a research gap in the area of knowledge transfer between central banks and the legislative branch and provides recommendations for enhancing these procedures.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to verify the occurrence of significant periodicity in the returns obtained in two financial markets of Central and Eastern Europe: Czech Republic and Poland. In the paper are also some novelty in the subject under study is to undertake a two-pronged consideration based on the years of the US presidential election cycle and the local ones taking place in the Czech Republic and Poland, respectively. Based on the annual returns of the broad market index in the Czech Republic (PX) and Poland (WIG) recorded between 1991 and 2024, their values were grouped into individual years of the four-year presidential cycle in the US, and then into the five-year presidential cycles occurring in the two countries studied. Verification of their differentiation was based on the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test and the Bonferroni post-hoc test. The highest returns obtained by the PX and WIG indices surveyed were recorded during the first year of the U.S. presidency, and the lowest during the second. As for the presidential cycle in the Czech Republic and Poland, they were characterized by the highest  returns during the second year of the presidency, while the lowest were during year one in the Czech Republic and year four in Poland. However, the results obtained do not indicate the presence of a statistically significant variation in them, which promotes the main hypothesis adopted at the beginning of the study. Some novelty in the subject under study is the undertaking of a two-pronged consideration based on the years of the US presidential election cycle and those taking place in the Czech Republic and Poland, respectively. However, in both cases, no significant differences in annual returns were found.

Published: December 2024

This research examines the role of local wisdom in preserving the Batak Toba ulos cloth as heritage and culture. The purpose of this study is to describe the values of local wisdom embedded in the Batak Toba ulos. The theory of local wisdom proposed by Robert Sibarani is used as the basis for data analysis. The data collection method used in this research is qualitative descriptive, and data is gathered through a literature review of various journals related to the topic. The preservation of the ulos cloth as a cultural heritage of the Batak Toba is greatly aided by local wisdom. Ulos is a symbol of tradition, identity, and values for the Batak people, beyond being just a fabric. Local wisdom helps maintain and pass down this cultural heritage through traditional weaving practices and the use of ulos in various traditional ceremonies. Therefore, ulos is one of Indonesia's cultural legacies that must be preserved, as it is a high-quality product of creative thought. The sacred value of ulos reflects the spirituality of the Batak people. Each ulos establishes a connection between the maker and the recipient. For an individual, ulos is a fabric that warms the body, but for the community, ulos has a symbolic role in various aspects of life. In addition to producing high-quality ulos, the ulos fabric should be kept in a clean and comfortable place, and it should be displayed properly so that visitors may become customers. Ulos is used in various traditional ceremonies as a symbol of identity, a form of respect, a gesture of affection, and a unifying bond.

This case report presents the treatment of a 10-year-old male child with a traumatic maxillary right central tooth. Radiological examination of the patient revealed an intrusion of more than 7 mm in the right maxillary lateral incisor and a non-complicated traumatic dental injury. After raising the flap, the intruded tooth was luxated and brought to the desired position. Once the tooth was positioned, the soft tissue was sutured, and the teeth were splinted with a semi-rigid wire for four weeks. In the follow-up three weeks later, the pulp of the mature tooth was extirpated, calcium hydroxide was placed in the canals, and root canal treatment was performed one week later. Clinical and radiological examinations and six-month follow-up revealed no marginal bone loss, resorption in the periapical tissues, or pathology. The routine clinical and radiological follow-up of our case continues. The treatment planning of fully intruded permanent teeth requires a multidisciplinary approach. During the treatment process, the collaboration of specialists such as pedodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, and orthodontists is important.
