Against reductionism: On the complexity of scientific temporality
Authors: Vostal Filip , Benda Libor , Virtová Tereza
Published: January 2018

There are two kinds of often intertwined arguments accounting for innovative appraisals of the current developments in scientific landscape. The first maintains that science is not in any way different from other social realms and can be characterized by unprecedented dynamization (or acceleration) observable on various levels and in different dimensions that constitute scientific activities. The second position, often stemming from the first, is exemplified in our analysis through critical engagement with Dick Pels’s notion of ‘unhastening science’. Pels’s position holds that it is essential for science to ‘slow down’ in order to, among other things, fulfill its socio-economic and cultural role, if not live up to its raison d’être. In this article, we problematize this binary view and argue for a more nuanced perspective advancing the temporal complexity of scientific knowledge production. By drawing on historical examples, specifically Andrew Pickering’s notion of temporal emergence grounded in his study of Donald Glaser’s invention of the bubble chamber, and by developing our temporal reading of Bruno Latour’s Pasteurization of France, we carve out three interactive categories capturing the temporal dynamics of science production: experimental, cognitive and institutional temporalities. We subsequently argue that science production is underpinned by agentic synchronization of these temporalities. Drawing on our argumentation in conclusion, we oppose the popular tendency to understand time in science in a reductive sense.
Vibration of diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system with nonlinear component
Authors: Xiao Nengqi , Zhou Ruiping , Xu Xiang
Published: January 2018

The lumped parameter method is used to model the components of a marine diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system. Modular modeling and five basic models of torsional vibration are used to establish the torsion of the diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system with a nonlinear components vibration mathematical model. In order to include the nonlinear parts of the marine diesel-hybrid propulsion shafting torsional vibration system characteristics, by combining the perturbation method with the advantages and disadvantages of the harmonic method, a perturbation-harmonic method is presented to solve the diesel-electric hybrid propulsion shafting free vibration characteristics. At the same time, the nonlinear vibration characteristics of the hybrid propulsion shaft system are calculated and analyzed using the incremental harmonic balance method. In order to verify the correctness of the theoretical method of hybrid propulsion system, the correctness of the vibration model and method is verified by carrying out actual tests on a 10,000-ton marine surveillance ship. In order to verify the mathematical model of the ship diesel-hybrid propulsion system and the correctness of the theoretical calculation method, the torsional vibration test is carried out by a strain gauge method for a 10,000-ton marine propulsion shaft. The correctness of the torsional vibration mathematical model and the calculation method is verified by comparing the torsional vibration test data and the theoretical calculation data of the ship propulsion shaft system, which provides the theoretical significance for the calculation and analysis of the torsional vibration of the ship propulsion shaft system.
Intersectionality as a multipurpose collective action frame: The case of the undocumented youth movement
Authors: Terriquez Veronica , Brenes Tizoc , Lopez Abdiel
Published: January 2018

During the early 2010s, undocumented youth activists were leading the charge to gain congressional support for the federal Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, which sought to provide a pathway to citizenship for eligible undocumented youth in the United States. Led primarily by Latino college students and graduates, this movement became very attentive to and inclusive of the concerns of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer members. Drawing on semi-structured interviews of Latino lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer undocumented youth and other documentary evidence, this article demonstrates how activists can deploy intersectionality as a collective action frame that serves multiple purposes. Specifically, intersectionality can function as: (1) a diagnostic frame to help activists make sense of their own multiply-marginalized identities; (2) a motivational frame to inspire action; and (3) a prognostic frame that guides how activists build inclusive organizations and bridge social movements. We show how this frame guided the ways in which lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer and other undocumented activists interpreted their own life experiences, prompted them to build inclusive organizations, and broadened the scope of their movement. We conclude by arguing that activists have the potential to adopt intersectionality as a master frame that strengthens ties among various movements mobilizing marginalized populations.
Teacher participatory action research (TPAR): A methodological framework for political teacher research
Authors: Stapleton Sarah R
Published: January 2018

These are dire times for teachers, particularly those who work with marginalized youth. There is a pressing need to further the political reach of teacher research so that teachers can be heard and seen as knowledgeable professionals. Participatory action research seeks to emancipate marginalized groups through engagement in action research. This paper explores a new approach to participatory action research conducted with teachers (Teacher Participatory Action Research, or TPAR), which takes into account the marginalization by association some teachers face in their positions. I propose a framework for Teacher Participatory Action Research, describe the participatory action research project with teachers on which the framework is based, and share challenges and potential benefits for using TPAR.
The Influence of Masculine Norms and Occupational Factors on Mental Health: Evidence From the Baseline of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health
Authors: Milner Allison , Kavanagh Anne , King Tania , Currier Dianne
Published: January 2018

Men employed in male-dominated occupations are at elevated risk of work-related fatalities, injuries, and suicide. Prior research has focused on associations between psychosocial and physical exposures at work and health outcomes. However, masculine norms may also contribute to mental health. We used data from the baseline survey of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health to examine whether: (a) men in male-dominated jobs report greater adherence to masculine norms; (b) being in a male-dominated occupation is associated with poorer mental health; and (c) being in a male-dominated occupation modifies the association between masculine norms and mental health. Masculine norms were measured using the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI-22). Mental health was assessed using the SF-12. Results of regression analysis (adjusted for covariates) suggest a linear relationship between the extent to which an occupation is male-dominated and endorsement of values on the CMNI-22. Many CMNI-22 subscales were related to poorer mental health. However, the need for self-reliance was identified as the strongest predictor of poorer mental health. The mental health scale did not appear to be patterned by occupational gender composition and we did not find an interaction between the gender ratio of an occupation and the CNMI-22 scale. These findings highlight the need to address harmful aspects of masculinity as a potential cause of mental health problems. More longitudinal research is needed on the social domains in which gender and health are experienced, such as in the workplace.
Sedentary Behavior Is Associated With Low Leisure-Time Physical Activity and High Body Fatness in Older Brazilian Adults

Published: January 2018

Sedentary behavior (SB) has emerged as a new health risk factor, including risk of premature death. This study examined the association between SB and measures of physical activity and body fatness in older Brazilian adults. Self-report measures of SB (ie, sitting time [ST]), leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), and body fatness (body mass index [BMI]) were collected from 355 older adults aged 60 years and older by trained interviewers. Statistical procedures were conducted using SPSS software with significance set at P < .05. Overall, the median ST was 3 hours per day. Mean values of LTPA and BMI for the entire sample were 90.0 (197.4) min/week and 26.5 (4.9) kg/m2, respectively. Partial correlations controlling for age revealed that ST was negatively associated with LTPA ( pr = −.15 [−.25; −.04]; P = .006) and positively associated with BMI ( pr = .25 [.14; .35]; P < .001). Age, BMI, and LTPA emerged as independent predictors of ST, explaining a small but significant variance in ST ( R2 = .12; P = .02). Furthermore, t test revealed a significant difference in LTPA and BMI between groups of different amounts of sitting. The findings suggest that prolonged ST may have a negative impact on LTPA and BMI in older Brazilian adults.
Dalit Women in Mutation: The Birth of a New Social Organism
Authors: Pan Anandita
Published: January 2018

This essay is concerned with ‘Dalit woman’ as a category constructed through the intersection of caste and gender. It contends that in their effort to present ‘woman’ and ‘Dalit’ as two distinct and unitary groups, mainstream Indian feminism and Dalit politics treat caste and gender as mutually exclusive. As a result, Dalit women and their issues are either ignored, or they are assimilated separately within ‘women’ or ‘Dalits’. This article proposes that mutation, as an interventionist theoretical tool, can become useful in posing ‘Dalit woman’ as a new social organism. Taking P. Sivakami’s autobiography, The Grip of Change (2006), as a case study, this article investigates the contours of ‘Dalit woman’ as a mutable category built in contradistinction to ‘woman’ in mainstream Indian feminism (wherein gender becomes the exclusive analytical structure) and ‘Dalit’ in Dalit politics (which sees caste system at the core of their oppression). Since this study investigates identity construction of ‘Dalit woman’, the exploration of the homogeneous representations of ‘woman’ and ‘Dalit’ primarily draws from autobiographical narratives.

Published: January 2018

Background

Esophageal carcinoma is the eighth prevalent malignancy and ranks the sixth in carcinoma-related death worldwide. Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein-8 like-2 (TIPE2) has been identified as a tumor suppressor in multiple carcinomas. However, its roles and molecular mechanisms underlying esophageal carcinoma progression are still undefined till now.

Methods

RT-qPCR assay was employed to detect the expression of TIPE2 mRNA. TIPE2 protein expression was measured by using western blot assay. Ad-V and Ad-TIPE2 adenoviruses were constructed to overexpress TIPE2. The effects of TIPE2 overexpression on cell proliferation, invasion and apoptosis were assessed by MTT and Edu incorporation assays, transwell invasion assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. The effect of TIPE2 overexpression on xenograft tumor growth was determined by measuring tumor volume and weight, together with immunohistochemistry assay. The effect of TIPE2 overexpression on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was evaluated by detecting the protein levels of β-catenin, c-Myc and cyclinD1 in EC9076 cells and xenograft tumors of esophageal carcinoma.

Results

TIPE2 expression was downregulated in esophageal carcinoma tissues and cells. Adenovirus-mediated TIPE2 overexpression suppressed cell proliferation and invasion, and induced apoptosis in esophageal carcinoma cells. Enforced expression of TIPE2 inhibited tumor growth in vivo, as evidenced by the reduced tumor volume, tumor weight and proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression. Overexpression of TIPE2 inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in esophageal carcinoma in vitro and in vivo.

Conclusions

These results suggest that TIPE2 suppressed progression and tumorigenesis of esophageal carcinoma via inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Anorexia Nervosa in a Swedish Urban Region
Authors: Råstam Maria , Gillberg Christopher , Garton Maja
Published: January 2018

The total population of 15-year-olds in Göteborg, Sweden, were screened in 1985 for anorexia nervosa using brief questionnaires, growth charts and individual school nurse reports. An accumulated frequency of anorexia of 0.84% for girls up to and including 15 years of age was obtained, with 85% of the cases fulfilling DSM–III–R criteria. Boys were affected just over one-tenth as often as girls. The frequency of anorexia nervosa appeared to be much higher in private than in comprehensive schools. The peak age of onset seemed to be 14 years.
A Hundred Years Ago: Influence of Surroundings in Producing Insanity
Authors: Rollin Henry
Published: January 2018

In the last number of the Journal of Mental Science Dr Savage discusses this question, and begins by protesting against the acceptance of what is a too widely spread notion – viz., that nearly all insanity is the outcome of direct neurotic inheritance. The influence of heredity is not denied or minimised, but the great importance of environment is insisted upon. To quote the words of the author: “We are what we are in mind and body to a great extent as organic results of our forefathers, but that we are no longer naked savages is some evidence that progress and development in the individual and the race may take place as the result of changing surroundings” There can be no two opinions as to the encouragement to be got from such a view. A too great insistence upon heredity as the determining cause of insanity must land us in a hopeless pessimism as regards treatment, whereas a recognition of the influence of surroundings is the first step towards the construction of a reasonable and efficacious system of therapeutics. The author also cites many examples of hallucinations and delusions which are suggested by surroundings; and whilst all will not be inclined to accept his dictum that disorder of function may lead to disease of tissue, there will be few who will not share his opinion as to the efficacy of restful, pleasant surroundings in the treatment of mental disorder as compared with the virtues of “medicine out of a bottle”.
Epidemiological Psychiatry
Authors: Wilkinson Greg , Piccinelli Marco
Published: January 2018

In 1881 J. M. Machado de Assis published a short novel entitled The Psychiatrist. The main character, Simao Bacamarte, “a physician of noble birth”, devoted himself to “the health of the soul” (as he defined psychopathology) and conceived a new, revolutionary (for the times) hypothesis: “The number of persons suffering from insanity, he believed, was far greater than commonly supposed”. Dr Bacamarte explains: “Till now, madness has been thought a small island in an ocean of sanity. I am beginning to suspect that it is not an island at all but a continent”.

Psychopathic Personalities: Kurt Schneider
Authors: Standage Kevin
Published: January 2018

The first edition of Psychopathic Personalities appeared in 1912, roughly ten years after Jaspers' General Psychopathology and the last edition of Kraepelin's Textbook of Psychiatry. Schneider's role in applying Jaspers' method of psychopathological study to Kraepelin's classification of psychiatric disorder has been seen as an important aspect of his work (Hoenig, 1982) and is evident in his own Clinical Psychopathology (Schneider, 1959). However, his study of the classification of psychopathic personalities, an area which Kraepelin never succeeded in delineating clearly (Lewis, 1974), is regarded as his most important contribution (Anderson, 1959; Hoenig, 1982).

Steps to an Ecology of Mind: Gregory Bateson
Authors: Kraemer Sebastian
Published: January 2018

This is not a book, but a collection of essays. Reconsidering it has been a difficult task. Some pieces are stunningly fresh and inspiring, others infuriating and confusing. It began happily enough. In the introduction, “The science of mind and order”, Bateson brilliantly frames the Old Testament as a scientific statement about order: “… and God divided the light from the darkness … and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament” (p. 29). Modern science has neglected form for substance, yet thinking – making sense of the patterns in the world – is entirely a matter of form. This is the point of Steps to an Ecology of Mind.
Impact of Geographic Regions on Overall Survival in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: Results From an International Clinical Trials Database
Authors: Fay Andre P. , McKay Rana R. , Lin Xun , Simantov Ronit , Choueiri Toni K.
Published: January 2018

Purpose

Health determinants vary according to geographic region and may affect the outcomes of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated during clinical trials of targeted therapy. Here, we investigate the overall survival (OS) of patients with mRCC treated in the era of targeted therapy by geographic region.

Methods

We conducted a pooled analysis of patients with mRCC who were treated during phase II or III clinical trials. Clinical characteristics and survival data were collected. Statistical analyses were performed with the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test in univariable analysis.

Results

Overall, 4,736 patients were included in the analysis. Patient characteristics differed according to geographic region. No statistically significant differences in OS were observed when the United States/Canada (USC) was compared with the following other regions: Latin America, Asia/Oceania/Africa, and Eastern Europe. In a univariable analysis, OS differed among patients enrolled in trials in USC compared with Western Europe (20.3 v 17.4 months; hazard ratio, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.3; P = .015), but it did not differ in a multivariable analysis. All-grade treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were observed more frequently in USC. There were no significant differences in grade 3 to 5 AEs among groups.

Conclusion

Despite different baseline characteristics, OS was similar among patients enrolled in clinical trials across different geographic regions. Access to clinical trials as well as disease biology, AE reporting, and quality of care may contribute to potential differences in outcomes.
Evaluating the triplet hypothesis during rhythmic mastication in primates
Authors: Ram Yashesvini , Ross Callum F.
Published: January 2018

Mammalian mastication involves precise jaw movements including transverse movement of the mandible during the power stroke. Jaw elevation and transverse movement are driven by asymmetrical jaw elevator muscle activity which is thought to include a phylogenetically primitive and conserved triplet motor pattern consisting of: triplet I—balancing side superficial masseter and medial pterygoid, working side posterior temporalis— which reaches onset, peak, and offset first; and triplet II—working side superficial masseter and medial pterygoid, balancing side posterior temporalis—which is active second. Although the presence of a triplet motor pattern has been confirmed in several primate species, the prevalence of this motor pattern—the proportion of cycles that display this pattern—has not been evaluated in primates. The present study quantifies the presence and prevalence of the triplet motor pattern in five different primate species, Eulemur fulvus, Propithecus verreauxi, Papio anubis, Macaca fascicularis, and Pan troglodytes, using mean onset, peak, and offset time relative to working superficial masseter. In all five of the species studied, the mean triplet motor pattern is observed at peak muscle activation, and in four out of the five species the triplet motor pattern occurs more frequently than expected at random at peak muscle activation and offset. Non-triplet motor patterns were observed in varying proportions at different time points in the cycle, suggesting that presence or absence of the triplet motor pattern is not a binomial trait. Instead, the primate masticatory motor pattern is malleable within individual cycles, within individual animals, and therefore within species.
Silacrown Ethers-Clay Intercalation Materials: Application in Potentiometric Sensors for Detection of Alkali-Ions
Authors: Ruiz-Hitzky Eduardo , Gómez-Avilés Almudena , Darder Margarita , Aranda Pilar
Published: January 2018

Dimethylsila-14-crown-5 (DMS14C5) and dimethylsila-17-crown-6 (DMS17C6) macrocyclic polyethers have been intercalated into montmorillonite layered silicates containing Li+, Na+ or K+ cations as exchangeable cations. XRD and FTIR spectroscopy offer information on the disposition of the macrocycle in the interlayer and accommodation of cations within the cavity of the polyoxyethylene ligand. 13C and 23Na solid-state NMR spectroscopy provides information about the replacement of water molecules from the hydration shell of interlayer cations by the macrocyclic ligand and confirms differences in the interactions depending on the nature of the ligand. The resulting montmorillonite intercalation materials were tested as active phase of PVC electrodes for the development of potentiometric sensors, in a preliminary attempt to evaluate their electrochemical response towards alkali-metal ions in solution.
MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF INTERACTION OF MILLING KNIVES WITH SOIL
Authors: Акимов Александр , Akimov Aleksandr , Константинов Юрий , Konstantinov Yuriy , Туровский Борис , Turovskiy Boris
Published: January 2018

As working units of tillage mills, both curved (L-shaped) blade knives and straight blade knives are used. The soil reactions to these working units depend on soil properties, geometric parameters of the working parts, parameters determining the modes of their operation and the angle of rotation of the working units. When constructing a mathematical model for the interaction of working parts with soil, all these factors must be taken into account, while striving to simplify the proposed model. Accounting for the dependence of force characteristics of the working units on the angle of their rotation is not an easy task, and in most cases it is solved with the help of specially set experiments. A mathematical model is proposed for the interaction of a direct lamellar milling knife with soil, which makes it possible to determine the components of the resulting soil reactions to such a knife, the total moment of these reactions, and the power consumed for cutting the soil, depending on the knife rotation angle. This model takes into account the geometry of the working unit through the radii of the hub and cutters, the angle of installation of the milling knife and its length. The operating mode of the knife is set by the kinematic coefficient, equal to the ratio of the circumferential velocity of the knife end to the speed of the translational motion of a mill, and the maximum relative depth of the milling knife in the soil. The constructed model makes it possible to determine the dependence of the maximum values of the considered power characteristics of the knife on the indicated geometric parameters and the parameters of the knife operating mode, which makes it possible to simplify experiments to determine the power characteristics of the cutter and significantly reduce its volume. This model can be used to select the optimal knife parameters. In addition, the proposed model can be used to calculate the power characteristics of the rack of a curved blade knife, which consumes a significant amount of energy during milling.

Goal Relatedness and Learning: Evidence from Hospitals
Authors: Clark Jonathan R. , Kuppuswamy Venkat , Staats Bradley R.
Published: January 2018

Organizations vary significantly in the rates at which they learn from experience (i.e., learning by doing). While prior work has explored how different categories of prior experience affect learning outcomes, limited attention has been paid to the role played by the organizational context. We focus on one important aspect of an organization’s context—goals—and examine how the degree of goal relatedness across an organization’s diverse set of activities affects the rate at which it learns from experience. In doing so, we argue that even where otherwise diverse activities are knowledge related, if they are not goal related, learning by doing is likely to suffer. Using data from the hospital industry our findings suggest that goal relatedness is an important consideration when it comes to learning. Although goal-related teaching aids learning by doing in clinical care, we find that strong academic affiliations (and the research-oriented tasks and goals they bring with them) may detract from it.
Mirando al pasado y caminando hacia el futuro: un currículo religioso de la escuela secundaria católica para el siglo XXI
Authors: Stafford Joe
Published: January 2018

Este artículo examina el currículum de la asignatura de religión en la educación secundaria en la provincia de Ontario, Canadá. Se abordan dos preguntas de investigación: ¿Por qué las escuelas católicas no logran que su alumnado que se gradúa esté bien formado en cuestiones religiosas y sean católicos activos? ¿Qué cambios son necesarios en el currículum de la educación secundaria para revertir esta tendencia? Estas preguntas se abordan desde una perspectiva histórica. Se argumenta que es necesario un nuevo currículum de la asignatura de religión con el fin de contrarrestar la actual influencia del laicismo. Se afirma que los estudiantes se gradúan sin el conocimiento y las habilidades necesarias para comprender su propia fe y para explicarla de un modo lógico y convincente. Además, se argumenta que este nuevo currículum ha de ser tan académicamente riguroso como el resto de asignaturas que se ofrecen en las escuelas de educación secundaria de Ontario. La teoría de William Pinar acerca de la subjetividad y el desarrollo del yo proporciona el marco teórico de este paper.

Published: January 2018

Isyraqi or isyraqiyah (illuminative) is the thought developed by Suhrawardi al- Maqtul by integrating between the teachings of Sufism and philosophy. In detail, according to Hussein Nasr, isyraqi is based on five sources of thought that are Sufism, Islamic pariphatetic philosophy, pre-Islamic philosophy, the  wisdom of ancient Iran, and the teachings of Zoroaster. The main doctrine essentially consists of two concepts, namely gradation of essence and self-awareness. The first concept relates to the ontological question, while the second relates to the epistemological question. From both concepts then born third teachings, mitsâl nature, in which the ontological structure of spiritual reality or ‘high nature’ is seemed to have a likeness or take forms in concrete picture of matter nature or 'lower nature'.

Published: January 2018

Salah satu aspek modernitas, Oksidentalisme, menjadi bagian dari wacana Islam dan Barat disamping sejarah Orientalisme yang telah mengalami perkembangan panjang. Artikel ini membahas gagasan Oksidentalisme di Indonesia. Dialektika Oksidentalisme-Orientalisme dapat ditelusuri dengan melihat beberapa ide yang disampaikan oleh representasi intelektual Muslim Indonesia—Mukti Ali dan Nurcholis Madjid. Sebagai refleksi kritis terhadap fenomena Oksidentalisme, Carl W. Ernst menggarisbawahi proyeksi keilmuan konstruktif. Selanjutnya, dialog antarperadaban yang disampaikan Osman Bakar dapat membantu mengurai kompleksitas pemaknaan Oksidentalisme seperti misalnya yang dipaparkan Hassan Hanafi atau Ian Buruma. Artikel ini menegaskan bahwa dari sisi historisnya studi Oksidentalisme yang dipaparkan Mukti Ali dan Nurcholis Madjid merupakan aspek akademis tentang institusi Barat. Wacana akademis ini ternyata tidak sama dengan konsep Oksidentalisme seperti yang dipaparkan oleh Hassan Hanafi maupun Ian Buruma. Aspek lainnya adalah saling-belajar, kerjasama dan pemahaman bagian integral masyarakat Muslim dan Indonesia pada umumnya.
Beberapa Problem Teologis Antara Islam dan Kristen
Authors: Waryono Waryono
Published: January 2018

Islam, Christian and Jews are closely related religion rooted genealogically from the Father of the Prophet—Abraham. As also human beings, although born from the same ‘worm’, it does not mean appearing similarities. There are always fundamental differences among ‘the children’ made the relationship inharmonic, suspicious, and prejudice. These even become worse if they claim each other and give judgments into another. Islam and Christian both experience the same way. The relationship of the two seems ambivalent and fluctuative, since there are some principal theological differences. This is the urgency of understanding ‘the language of religion’ in an insider perspective to accomplish the more constructive relationship albeit the cause of difference. In this way, the religious followers could meet each other to carry out a noble duty of religion accomplishing a dignified human being through religion.
Meneguhkan Pancasila sebagai Rumah Bersama Semua Umat Beragama
Authors: Salehudin Ahmad
Published: January 2018

It is important to note the rising of religious violence and the dialectic of certain groups to alter Pancasila as the state ideology and foundation either using violent ways or abusing the triumph of democracy. Religious violence and efforts to alter Pancasila with other ideology serve as a vivid thread to the unity of The Republic of Indonesia, human right’s violation to Indonesian people carried out rituals that based on belief and religion, and the cause of self-identity uproot as a nation held bhineka tunggal ika. This paper tries to discuss some efforts to revitalize Pancasila being the house of many religions. The effort to revitalize Pancasila can be done situating it as a working ideology. Gaining this position as a working ideology, it is also urgent— besides changing the way to elaborate Pancasila values— to internalize the soul of Pancasila as ways of thinking and guiding to all Indonesian people. In this respect, Pancasila could serve as the house of many religions.

Authors: Mahfudh Hasan
Published: January 2018

Artikel ini membahas tentang pergeseran kritik hadis yang digagas oleh Hassan Hanafi. Tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa Kritik hadis berada pada posisi yang sangat penting dalam menyeleksi hadis-hadis nabi dari pemalsuan dan penyimpangan. Tentu, adalah sangat logis jika para ulama telah meletakkan postulan-postulat ketat dalam kritik hadis, khususnya kritik sanad. Meski demikian, Hanafi memandang bahwa kajian dan pembaharuan terhadap kritik hadis –konsep dan metodenya- telah tertutup. Bagi Hanafi, dengan berkembangnya ilmu pengetahuan, transisi dari kritik sanad menuju kritik matan menjadi keharusan yang tidak dapat ditawar lagi.
Anthropology of Civilization: Personal Reflection on Anthropological Approach in the Study of Muslim Societies in Southeast Asia (Antropologi Peradaban: Renungan Pribadi atas Pendekatan Antropologis dalam Studi tentang Masyarakat Islam di Asia Tenggara)
Authors: Nakamura Mitsuo
Published: January 2018

Dalam konteks antropologi peradaban atau antropologi peradaban Islam di  Asia Tenggara, saya telah meneliti perkembangannya selama lebih dari 40 tahun. Sebagai contoh, setelah mengamati beberapa riset historis tentang perkotaan Indonesia, agaknya menarik untuk menulis tentang ‘Kotagede’ (atau lebih tepatnya Kuto Gede) yang seperti pemaparan Van Mook menyimpan keberadaan sejarah kota yang lebih tua daripada yang diteliti oleh Clifford Geertz di Modjokuto, Jawa Timur. Saya telah meneliti sejarah sosial kota di Jawa dengan membandingkannya dengan penelitian Geertz di Jawa Timur itu. Penelitian saya tentang Muhammadiyah di Kotagede menunjukkan posisi kritis tentang peran peneliti antropologi di Indonesia yang masih banyak menerapkan paradigm Geertz.

Teologi Bencana dalam Perspektif M. Quraish Shihab
Authors: Khafidhoh Khafidhoh
Published: January 2018

Human life has always been dealt with various disasters from earthquake,  tsunami to volcano eruption. In the past, as listed in the Qur’an, a lot of stories depicted the vanished people of unbeliever. While the cases of unbeliever referred to the punishment of Alloh, the query is whether the disaster happened to the Believer served as the Divine punishment. Two questions are discussed in this research: (1) How Quraish Shihab interpreted the verses of disaster?, and (2) What is the theology of disaster in Quraish Shihab’s Tafsir al-Misbah? The research shows that natural disaster occurred, in Quraish Shihab’s view, due to the imbalance of environment. Alloh has created harmonious environment, but human being tends to conduct chaos and destruction. Disaster could be concluded into three: (1) disaster that denoted collective destruction, (2) disaster that related to the destruction of meaning, and (3), disaster that dealt with the danger. The cause of disaster could be categorized into three, namely, (1) disaster due to the will of God (2) disaster due to human error (3) disaster due to the wickedness of human. Pertaining to the ethics facing disaster, one could refer to istirja’, patience, learning, the obedience to Alloh. The lesson learned from the disaster are among others, (1) individual aspect : (a) increasing the degree of faith, (b) supporting one’s proximity to God, (c) realizing the love of God, (d) situating one’s faith and (e) supporting one’s humility and (2) social one, building solidarity among human beings.

Authors: Suhendra Ahmad
Published: January 2018

The disaster is not only a mere natural occurrence, but also due to the lack of awareness and understanding of one's environmental problems. This paper will review the ecological values contained in the Qur'an. In fact, the Qur'an has given a stern warning of not doing mischief on earth. In this regard, within the certain limits, the query is how religion (Islam) providing ecological value to the whole community through the Koran? Applying semantic-hermeneutical approach, the research results the concept that has been introduced by the Qur'an with various forms and models of word. With some verses that describe the ecological problems, the formulation can be used as 'green religion', namely religion that requires people to practice Islam stressing the integral relationship between faith and the environment (all natural). Moral-ethical action is not only related to human relations, but also with nature.

Authors: Soehadha Moh.
Published: January 2018

This article unravels the causes, the patterns and the solutions of collective violence in Indonesia. The study uses data rooted from the historical experience of collective violence that occurred from 1995 to 1997, prior to the 1998’s Indonesian Reform. The experience of violence in Indonesia that occurred in quick succession before the reform era became a historical document on the causes and patterns of violence, so it could be discussed to find a solution to the violence in Indonesia in the future. The analysis showed that there is violence’s potential rooted in culture. In anthropological view, the concept of "culture of peace" becomes part of a study of local wisdom. It is safe to say that the concept the culture bears the system of symbolic or ethos of violence, at the same time it also holds the ethos of culture of peace. The causes of violence in Indonesia could be analyzed from the cultural mechanisms that legitimize violence. Thus, the solution of the violence could also be searched by studying mechanism that legitimizes the culture of peace.
