Positivisme Sebagai Era Baru Filsafat dan Pengaruhnya Dalam Kajian Sosial Islam
Authors: Setiawan Priatna Agus
Published: December 2024

This study discusses positivism as one of the important milestones in the history of modern philosophy and its influence on the development of social sciences, especially in the context of Islamic social studies. Positivism, pioneered by Auguste Comte, emphasizes the importance of an empiricism-based scientific approach to understanding reality. This philosophy shifts the paradigm from a metaphysical approach to observing and verifying measurable facts. The influence of positivism in social sciences is seen in the development of systematic and data-oriented research methods. In Islamic social studies, the positivistic approach presents opportunities and challenges. On the one hand, it enriches research methodology by encouraging the use of empirical data. On the other hand, it clashes with Islamic epistemology which integrates revelation and reason as sources of knowledge. This study concludes that the positivistic approach can be critically adopted in Islamic social studies. Combining empirical methods with Islamic normative values ​​is needed to create a more holistic social analysis. Thus, positivism, although limited to the empirical dimension, remains relevant if used wisely within the framework of the Islamic paradigm.
Martin Heidegger e Aristóteles
Authors: Santos Bento Silva
Published: December 2024

O objetivo do artigo consiste expor as intenções de Heidegger a partir da interpretação dos capítulos 1 e 2 do Livro I da Metafísica de Aristóteles em seus elementos mais importantes. Tais intenções são explicitadas no chamado Natorp-Bericht de 1922. Destacarei de modo particular a interpretação fenomenológica da σοφία aristotélica. Desse modo, Heidegger julga fundamentais não somente o sentido de que as virtudes dianoéticas (σοφία e φρόνησις) provenham da iluminação do trato da vida fática com o mundo do entorno (Umwelt), mas também o fato de que a σοφία, enquanto tendência para o contemplar puro, seja uma forma derivada, arraigada na facticidade do Dasein e, portanto, com base em uma propriedade ontológica originária.

Published: December 2024

Purpose: In this study, I aimed at exploring how Makerere University academic deans utilise their psychological capital optimism in the management of conflicts. And thereafter develop a psychological capital-based conflict management framework.
Materials and Methods: In this study, I adopted a qualitative approach, through a phenomenological research design, I conducted this study at Makerere University in Kampala district. Data collection involved in-depth interviews using purposive sampling techniques, targeting 14 deans from the 9 colleges within Makerere University choosing 5 females and 9 males. I applied thematic analysis to the data based on the study's objectives.
Findings: Study results on the utilization of psychological capital optimism by Makerere University deans in conflict management reveals contrasting approaches rooted in gender and cultural influences. Deans that demonstrated unrealistic optimism, tended to externalize failures, emphasize individual accountability, and micromanage conflicts, often neglecting inclusivity and missing opportunities for learning and relationship-building. Conversely, deans with flexible optimism, adopt a pragmatic and adaptive approach. They assess conflicts comprehensively, recognizing their complexities, and employ proactive problem-solving strategies that prioritize collaboration and growth. This study underscores the value of flexible optimism in fostering resilience, inclusivity, and constructive conflict resolution within organizations. I developed a framework to enhance the use of psychological capital constructs in conflict management.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Makerere University should support training for realistic optimism such that deans develop the ability to accurately assess conflicts and make informed decisions that prevent overconfidence and unrealistic expectations. Additionally, Makerere University should develop inclusive conflict management policies that mandate inclusive and collaborative conflict resolution processes that are gender and culture centered.

Published: December 2024

This study examines how the role of social media in the political landscape affects the voting decisions of Generation Z, with voting age (18-27), in the Philippines. 81% of Filipino Gen Zs use social media more than other platforms, this indicates their preference to social media as a means of communication. This study aims to understand how social media platforms work to provide unmediated access to political contents, influence the Gen Zs behavior, and serve as a space for them to be informed and involved in political discussion. This also identifies the gaps in the existing literature that tackled the effective strategies to enhance Gen Zs political participation while also examining the effects of authenticity and engagement in political discourse.
Office market adjustment to alternative workplace strategies
Authors: Hannum Christopher
Published: December 2024

Regional CGE models have been a valuable tool for regional development and regional policy analysis and can have valuable applications in real estate analysis as well. This paper describes the Colorado Real Estate (CO-RE) Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model and its application to the analysis of the impacts of alternative workplace strategies (AWS) such as office hoteling on regional property markets and the regional economy. AWS, modeled as a productivity-enhancing “technological” improvement that reduces firms’ office space requirements, is shown to spur investment in non-office sectors through a positive impact on local economic growth. The impact on local government finances may be negative due to falling office property values. The impact of a sudden, permanent drop in underlying demand for office space by office-using sectors includes dramatic if sluggish decreases in rents and increases in office vacancy.
A Comprehensive Survey of Genetic Programming Applications in Modern Biological Research
Authors: Khan Mohammad Wahab
Published: December 2024

Genetic programming (GP) has emerged as a powerful tool over the past two decades, leveraging evolutionary algorithms to navigate high-dimensional solution spaces effectively. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of GP's applications across various scientific domains, with a particular focus on bioinformatics and drug discovery. We discuss how GP facilitates the quantification, localization, and functional analysis of proteins. We highlighted its role in improving mass spectrometric (MS) peptide detectability through advanced pre-processing techniques. By enhancing the identification accuracy of peptides in proteomics, GP has significantly surpassed traditional methods. Additionally, we explore GP's capabilities in pattern matching and motif discovery within protein and DNA sequences, underscoring its utility in cancer research and biomarker detection. The paper also examines the integration of GP with machine learning strategies to address challenges in mass spectrometry, enabling the identification of biomarkers from complex datasets. Furthermore, we discuss innovative GP-based methods for predicting protein structure and function, as well as its application in drug discovery, where it outperforms conventional machine learning techniques in predicting pharmacokinetic properties. Through this survey, we aim to elucidate the versatility and effectiveness of genetic programming in tackling complex biological problems, paving the way for future research and applications in the life sciences.

Authors: Hernando Alissa Marielle V. , Tirasol Maria Angelica B. , Rosete Marie Antoinette L.
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the economic value that residents of Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines, place on the restoration and conservation of mangrove forests.
Methodology: A quantitative research design employing the contingent valuation method (CVM) was utilized. A survey was conducted with 388 residents to assess their willingness to pay (WTP) for mangrove conservation. Two funding mechanisms were examined: dedicated taxes and price increases on goods/services, each with varying bid amounts (Php 32, Php 64, and Php 8).
Findings: The study found that 70.4% of the residents were willing to pay for mangrove conservation. Dedicated taxes, specifically at a bid amount of Php 32, were the preferred funding mechanism. Socioeconomic factors, such as income and livelihood dependence on mangroves, significantly influenced WTP.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy (Recommendations): The government should implement dedicated taxes as a primary funding mechanism for mangrove conservation in Ipil, Develop targeted conservation programs focusing on residents with higher incomes and those whose livelihoods depend on mangroves. In addition, it should conduct community engagement programs to raise awareness and understanding of the ecological and economic importance of mangroves. Further research is needed to investigate the factors that did not significantly influence WTP (education level, coastal proximity, residency duration, and environmental awareness) to gain a more comprehensive understanding of resident attitudes and behaviors.
Colonialismos, Etnias e Epistemologias
Authors: Muchisse Itélio Joana , Tomás Adelino Esteves
Published: December 2024

Este artigo discute a questão do desenvolvimento dos povos em dois eixos principais: Democracia e Epistocracia. A pretensão é reflectir sobre as lógicas de organização social e composições políticas, através de uma discussão que se enquadra na influência dos modelos político-pedagógicos na construção e repetição das epistemologias ao longo do tempo. A partir da metodologia instrumental foi possível a desconstrução dissertativa, mas também explicativa sobre lógica de gestão do conhecimento sob a perspectiva dos dois eixos acima expostos. No entanto, é necessário haver comunicação de signos, tanto endógenos, quanto contemporâneos, de modo a salvaguardar tradições, bem como captar as mudanças no espírito do tempo que é movido por demandas e inovações, altamente influenciadas pelo conflito social, gerador de mudança e desenvolvimento.
A estética da existência afro-quilombola no Vale do Rio Guaporé: mulheres que dançam a vida
Authors: Lourenço Sonia Regina
Published: December 2024

Este ensaio se detém em uma interpretação da Dança do Chorado como um ato performativo de mulheres afro-quilombolas do Vale do Guaporé, coreografada antes do Ofertório a São Benedito. O Chorado  é uma criação estética dos encontros entre as alteridades no Atlântico Negro. A partir do conceito de heterogênese e rito de performativo, procuro mostrar, que  no século XX,  décadas depois da luta por direitos do povo negro e quilombola, o coletivo de mulheres do Chorado transforma a dança, outrora um rito performativo de persuasão, de encantaria e de controle do poder dos senhores brancos para evitar atos de violência contra elas e a seus parentes, em uma convenção coreográfica coletiva ao operar simulações de intenções das artes afro-quilombolas na Amazônia, em confluência com o riso, a comensalidade, a corporalidade, a ancestralidade e a territorialidade, a alegria em dança na construção de si como mulheres negras.
Palavras-Chave: Arte, Chorado, Dança, Quilombola.

Authors: Giménez Ribera Manuel , Sender Contell Marina , Perelló Roso Ricardo , Albelda Plá Alberto
Published: December 2024

Este artículo pretende exponer tanto un análisis gráfico como una aproximación a la obra del arquitecto Ricardo Roso Olivé. Con el propósito de rescatar del olvido una generación de arquitectos, se plantea el análisis de las características compositivas de las obras de Ricardo Roso, desde un punto de vista gráfico, cotejando las intenciones de sus planimetrías, así como sus propuestas volumétricas cercanas a los ecos racionalistas que atronaban lejanos y se entrecruzaban con demandas formales asumibles por la burguesía. Se trabaja con la hipótesis de cómo el repertorio ecléctico de soluciones formales -común entre los jóvenes profesionales alejados de los dos centros cercanos a la ortodoxia -Madrid y Barcelona- sería la opción mayoritariamente aceptada en la capital del Turia (Valencia) y aquella que erigió los aspectos más destacados de nuestra urbe, a nivel arquitectónico. Sus inquietudes artísticas y su compromiso personal hicieron de su figura una pieza importante para entender la arquitectura de durante el período de la Segunda República Española en la ciudad A través del análisis de sus obras podemos apreciar y entender las corrientes arquitectónicas y artísticas que le influyeron, sus logros y, su aportación a la arquitectura valenciana.

La androginia como mediadora del dualismo de género
Authors: Olivas Porcar Gerard , Valero Hoyo Vanesa
Published: December 2024

El género, y por ende la cultura en la que vivimos, limitan el desarrollo de nuestra identidad personal sometiéndonos a patrones de género de carácter dual que promueven la polarización entre el hombre y la mujer. Son los grados de masculinidad y la feminidad que nuestra cultura establece, los que clasifican por género, conductas o aspectos tangibles. La androginia es la cualidad de un individuo para reunir características de ambos géneros, por lo que termina por ser entendida como la fusión de los sexos.
La perpetuación de los arquetipos de carácter dual, y también la denuncia o crítica de éstos, ha involucrado, en numerosas y distintas ocasiones, al arte como medio para mostrar la figura del hombre y de la mujer. Esto se ejemplifica con el análisis de distintas obras y referentes artísticos que reflexionan sobre estos elementos identitarios con el fin de cuestionar el arraigado dualismo de género.

Authors: Nunes Karen Dayanne
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo principal apresentar a diversificação de mídias utilizadas pelo Estado Novo e pelo Ministro Alexandre Marcondes Filho (1941-1945) para esclarecer à população sobre as ações governamentais desenvolvidas em prol da classe trabalhadora brasileira. Enquanto Ministro do Trabalho, Indústria e Comércio, Marcondes Filho, a partir de 1942, elaborou conferências direcionadas aos trabalhadores no programa de rádio Hora do Brasil, voltadas a explicar ao grande público a legislação trabalhista. Além do rádio, objeto de longo alcance populacional, a mídia impressa foi exemplarmente explorada: jornais, panfletos e livros. Trataremos, portanto, do uso que o Marcondes Filho fez de tais ferramentas de comunicação, analisando suas semelhanças e diferenças.
Getúlio Vargas em papel e tinta: A Revista do Rádio e seus debates políticos (1948 – 1954)
Authors: Dos Santos Maycon Dougllas Vieira
Published: December 2024

O principal objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os debates políticos da Revista do Rádio em torno da figura de Getúlio Vargas. Semanário especializado em assuntos do mundo do rádio, sobretudo no que dizia respeito à vida íntima de artistas daquele período, foi criada em 1948 e tinha Anselmo Domingos como editor-chefe. Embora a revista abordasse principalmente temas relacionados a “fofocas”, não deixava de participar das discussões políticas da época, principalmente durante as eleições presidenciais de 1950. Logo, meu intuito é averiguar quais os níveis de apoio da Revista do Rádio ao projeto getulista e se esse apoio era circunstancial ou permanente, abrangendo todo o governo ou apenas a campanha presidencial. Também proponho analisar o conjunto de imagens e representações de Getúlio Vargas nas páginas da Revista do Rádio, com o intuito também de investigar as motivações por trás da mobilização positiva da figura de Vargas pelo periódico.
Supporting BIPOC Males in STEM: Insights from a Case Study on Online Peer Mentoring
Authors: Wendt Jillian , Jones Vivan
Published: December 2024

The current study explores the implementation and impact of online peer mentee training, part of a larger online peer mentoring program, on the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) self-efficacy, sense of belonging, and STEM identity of Black, Indigenous, and Other People of Color (BIPOC) males enrolled in STEM degree programs at a historically Black institution. Framed by Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory, Tinto’s Institutional department Model, and Social Cognitive Career Theory, it examines participants’ intent to persist in their STEM degree programs and subsequent STEM careers. Using a case study design, interviews and focus groups were analyzed. Five themes were identified: Development and Solidification of Identity, Increase in Confidence, Motivation to Make an Impact, Belonging, and Persistence and Retention through Developing Skills. The study is significant as it attends to the dearth in research that examines BIPOC males’ experiences in an online peer mentoring program while enrolled in STEM degree programs at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The findings provide insight on one method for supporting the participation of BIPOC males in STEM—an historically underrepresented population within STEM degree programs and fields. The findings inform institutions seeking to broaden participation within STEM fields while simultaneously supporting the retention of underrepresented populations in STEM degree programs. The findings also inform future implementations of online peer mentoring programs within HBCUs.

The Nameless Crime: Reflections on the Origins and Development of the Concept of Genocide
Authors:   Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Foundation, Poghosyan Narek
Published: December 2024

The term “genocide,” introduced by Raphael Lemkin, represents a groundbreaking milestone in the conceptualization and prevention of mass atrocities. Genocide is uniquely defined by the deliberate intent to annihilate specific human groups, earning its designation as the “crime of crimes” due to its profound legal and moral implications. Lemkin’s work unified disparate historical and linguistic precedents into a comprehensive legal framework, addressing the prior absence of a formal term for such heinous acts.
Although genocide was once referred to as “a crime without a name,” historical evidence reveals that many cultures and languages had long acknowledged and described this phenomenon using terms such as Völkermord, folkmord, and “the murder of a nation.” Lemkin’s true innovation lay in synthesizing these fragmented concepts into a single, cohesive definition, firmly rooted in international legal discourse to promote recognition and accountability.
This study explores the historical, linguistic, and legal evolution of the term “genocide,” emphasizing its enduring universal relevance and the challenges surrounding its classification in modern international debates.

İbn Sînâ’da Kuvve-Fiil Teorisi
Authors: Yiğit Fevzi
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışma felsefenin temel konularından birisi olan kuvve-fiil teorisi hakkındadır ve bu yüzden önem arz etmektedir. Felsefî bir izah yöntemi olması açısından kuvve-fiil teorisi tanınmakta ve oldukça işe yaramaktadır. Çalışmamızın amacı Aristoteles’in geliştirdiği bu teorinin İslâm felsefesinin kurucu filozoflarının başında gelen İbn Sînâ’da nasıl ele alındığını ortaya koyarak bilinirliğini artırmaktır. Bunun için Aristoteles ve İbn Sînâ’nın kuvve, fiil ve hareket kavramları hakkındaki görüşleri ayrıntılı olarak incelenecektir. Aristoteles’in kuvve ve fiil ayrımı aslında metafizik temelli bir izah biçimi olup Eflâtun’un “idealardan pay alma” fikrinin orijinal bir yorumu olarak görülebilir. Ancak Eflâtuncu düşünceden farklı olarak Aristoteles düşüncesinde fizik evren gerçek anlamda fiiliyat kazanmış olarak kabul edilmektedir. İbn Sînâ da fizik evrenin gerçekliğini kabul ettiğinden bu teoriye itibar etmiştir. Teori, sonuçları itibarıyla çok kullanılmasına rağmen metafiziğin temelini oluşturan varlık-yokluk, madde-sûret, varoluş, Tanrı-âlem ilişkisi gibi temel meselelere dair referansları açısından anlaşılması oldukça zordur. Örneğin Molla Sadrâ’nın cevherde hareketin gerçekleştiği yönündeki önemli müdahale ve düzeltmesi bunu göstermektedir. Makalede şu sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır: Öncelikle kuvve-fiil teorisi, İbn Sînâ’nın felsefî sisteminde ikincil bir işleve sahiptir. Nitekim bu noktada onun Yeni Eflâtuncu bir filozof olduğu görülür. Buna göre onun felsefesinde madde-sûret, önce-sonra ve hareket gibi meselelerle beraber ele alınsa da varlık-mahiyet, zorunluluk-imkân, illet ve malul gibi teoriler birincil meselelerdir. Belki de bu yüzden İbn Sînâ İşaretler ve Tembihler kitabında konuya doğrudan başlık açmamıştır. Bu durumun muhtemel nedenlerinden biri de İbn Sînâ’nın bütün felsefesini sadece fizik evren üzerine değil aynı zamanda metafizik evren üzerine inşa etmiş olmasıdır. Şöyle ki İbn Sînâ’ya göre fiilî olan metafizik evren iken kuvve hâlinde olan fizikî evrendir. Buna göre kuvve-fiil teorisi soyut evrenden somut evrenin çıkmasında yeterince güçlü bir izah biçimi olarak görünmez iken somuttan soyuta yükselişte oldukça başarılı bir izah biçimi görümündedir. Yeni Eflâtuncu felsefede sudûr teorisinin temelinde olmasa da teorinin izahında kuvve-fiil teorisinden faydalanıldığı görülür. Yine bu teori sahip olduğu imkânlar vasıtasıyla hareketi izah ettiği kadar Tanrı’nın varlığını ispatlamada da önemli bir araçtır. Örneğin Nasîrüddîn Tûsî, felsefe öğrenmenin en büyük faydalarından birisinin kuvve-fiil teorisi vasıtasıyla Tanrı’nın varlığını ispatlamak olduğunu söyler. Ayrıca bu teori, kötülük probleminin çözümü için önemli bir vasıtadır. Ancak burada teorinin sonuçlarından çok teorinin kendisi üzerinde yoğunlaşmaya çalışılacaktır. Çalışmanın en azından makale seviyesinde önemli bir boşluğu dolduracağı söylenebilir.

This research was motivated by the problem of contested divorce in marriages over 30 years old, which means that the husband and wife ended their marital relationship after many years of marriage. At that age, they would likely already have children or even grandchildren. This indicates that the couple's household is not in line with the goal of marriage, which is to build a happy and eternal family. This research aims to identify the problems and considerations of judges in deciding cases of contested divorce when the marriage is over 30 years old. The type of research used is field research, using data collection techniques through interviews, documentation, and literature. Interviews were conducted using an interview guide in the form of a list of questions to be asked of the judges. The data analysis technique uses qualitative descriptive methods. Based on the results of research conducted at the Pangkalan Balai Religious Court through interviews with judges show that the factors causing contested divorce in marriages over 30 years old are the husband's irresponsibility as head of the family, the husband having an affair/having another dream woman, committing domestic violence, continuous disputes, and leaving the wife. Meanwhile, in deciding cases of contested divorce when the marriage is over 30 years old, the judge considers it based on procedures that meet the requirements and the firm wishes of the parties and considers the benefit.

Published: December 2024

Islamic education aims to instil helpful knowledge, with the obligation to convey knowledge as a primary indicator. In today's digital era, while the dissemination of knowledge has become more widespread, its intensity and the quality of the knowledge shared often do not compare to that of the past. This study examines how the principle of knowledge dissemination, as emphasized in Islamic teachings, can be effectively applied in contemporary Islamic education to address these challenges. Employing a qualitative approach with content analysis, the study analyzes primary sources, including the hadith text Sahih Bukhari No. 65 and secondary sources, such as Fathul Bari Syarah Sahih Bukhari, journal articles, and other relevant literature. The data were analyzed by identifying the values within the hadith and linking them to modern educational practices, including learning technologies and teaching methods. The findings indicate that education emphasizing the dissemination of beneficial knowledge can enrich the learning experience and enhance teaching quality. The application of methods such as recitation, active learning, and the use of digital technology supports this principle. In conclusion, Islamic education must integrate these values to create an environment that focuses on mastery of knowledge and applying moral values in daily life.
