Authors: Chaudhari Bharatkumar Virsangbhai
Published: October 2023

If we look into history, the words 'Sarvodaya' have had a very interesting history in the 20th century. The thing is, in AD of 1904. On his way to Christmas from Johnsburg this year, his friend Mr. Pollack gave Gandhiji a reading of John Ruskin's book "Unto This Last". It had a deep impact on Gandhiji's heart and mind. At the end of Manomanthan in AD 1908, taking inspiration from this book, Gandhi gave the resolution of 'Sarvodaya'. From 1915 to 1948, Gandhi ji echoed the slogan of many constructive Sarvodaya activities like Satya, Ahimsa, Gramswaraj, Ratio, Khadiwanat, Swavalamban etc. throughout the country. After the death of Gandhiji, Vinoba Bhave came forward to carry forward his work and many creative activities and many Sarvodaya Ashrams came into existence under the name of 'Sarvodaya'. Sarvodaya Ashrams were established especially in North Gujarat. These organizations carried out various creative activities based on Gandhiji's ideology. In the present research, the creative activities of the organizations are shown in brief.

Authors: Rahevar Tejalba Takhatsinh
Published: October 2023

Arnold Toynbee was born in England in 1889. He was a leading historian of the 20th century. From his childhood he received the rites of history. His mother was a specialist in Greek and ancient history. And it would have been of great interest to Toynbee, who called it the story of the origin, growth and decline of civilizations. Thus, Toynbee's first formation as a historian took place in childhood. Also, mother was a staunch Christian. So, she used to tell Toynbee the story of the Bible and sometimes read some parts of the Bible to him. Thus, Toynbee also received historical and religious rites from his mother. Thus, mother's historical knowledge and religious rites put Toynbee in the prime of being a great historian. His reading of the works of Gibbon and other historians broadened him, and he was greatly enriched by travel, study and experience. As a result, the world received ten unique volumes of Toynbee's 'The Study of History'. In which the emergence, development, merger and modernization of world cultures are discussed.

Published: October 2023

An additional twenty thousand cases were founded in the Indonesian pharmacy sector. The Coronavirus caused an explosion in stock prices in the pharmaceutical sector, which concerns diseases easily transmitted between humans. The health sector has been severely affected and must reset its common goal of ending the COVID-19 pandemic. The growth of the National pharmaceutical industry in Indonesia was highly expected to support the acceleration of national economic recovery, as stated in the G-20 presidency, namely the vision of supporting sustainability finance and sustainability trust in sustainable development (Mulyani, 2022). With economic sustainability development globally, investor confidence will be more significant in the company's sustainability reporting, so investors are willing to pour some of their funds (Shauki, 2022). Non-financial reporting (NFR) aspects focus on the environment, society and governance and reflect significant positive and negative impacts on humans, the environment and economic aspects (Shauki, 2022). The Indonesian Company's Sustainability Report demonstrates the commitment of companies in Indonesia. Researchers are trying to find empirical evidence of the impact of company performance with sustainability reporting as a moderating variable on the company's value. The results showed that the capital structure affects the company value; earnings and size do not affect the company value. Sustainability reporting as a moderation variable can strengthen the relationship between variable capital structure, company size and earnings.

Published: October 2023

Many universities are in a challenging situation when they face accreditation procedures to prove their quality assurance. One of the roots of this particular situation is lacking academic staff assessments regularly, while to support the individual performance evaluation systems, the university can utilize the existing system to integrate with the applied system for the work assessments. Thus this study aims to identify the relevant procedures that include preparation and implementation of the performance evaluation process through an integrated system. This research explores the academic performance evaluation system implemented by higher education institutions in Malaysia and Indonesia at the current stage. Indonesia has a standard performance evaluation system, which is applied by all universities, while in Malaysia each university has its system of performance evaluation. Teaching and learning, research, community service, and supporting tasks are the four main criteria that will be evaluated for both countries, but in Malaysia, the weightage is different depending on the university. University's vision and mission, strong leaders, clear and measurable targets for each individual, supportive academic atmosphere, supporting infrastructure, wide networking, individual awareness in achieving the best performance, and supporting working atmosphere are critical success factors (CSF) identified as research findings for the best performance achievement. In the long term, this approach can be useful for accreditation purposes and other university strategic decisions.

Does Fiscal Decentralization Influence Public Finance Debt? A Panel Regression Analysis of the OECD Countries
Authors: Gariba Mohammed Ibrahim , Provazníková Romana
Published: October 2023

Fiscal decentralization has recently gained popularity throughout the world. This study examines how revenue decentralization influences subnational budgetary balances and how it affects the general government debt in the OECD countries. We applied panel regression analysis to an annual panel dataset that includes data from 23 countries from 1990 to 2020. Then, we explore the relationship between fiscal/revenue autonomy and public finance debt thus budgetary balances at the SNG level. Our empirical findings suggest that higher levels of SNG budget discipline are associated with greater revenue autonomy. The findings also suggest that general governments should consider delegating greater fiscal autonomy to SNGs to achieve better fiscal outcomes, including lower levels of general government public debt. This information could be useful for policymakers who are looking to implement sustainable fiscal stewardship.

Published: October 2023

Radicalism in some societies can arise for many reasons. One of them is because of the need for more understanding of religion. This radicalism is the right target for people who aim to distort religious teachings or teach misguided religious ideas. People who are weak in performance are usually easily tempted by material inducements to do things that deviate from spiritual teachings. This study used Mix Method with Analysis Tool using AMOS version 24. Respondents and sample using the census method consisted of Members of the Riau Island Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB), totaling 135 Respondents. The results: The determination of the Ithiqomah on the Management of Religious Conflict  is significantly positive, the Fanatics m  resolution on the Management of Religious Conflict  is highly positive, the Radicalism  determination on the Management of Religious Conflict  is very positive, the Management of Religious Conflict determination  on Maslahah  is a positive sign, the decision of the  fanaticism on the  Maslahah is positive important, the determination  Radicalism on the  Maslahah is positive but not significant, the determination  isthiqomah on the  Maslahah is positively influential. Square Multiple Correlation for Management of Religious Conflict =89.5%, Maslahah = 99.0%. It is suggested that there is no bias in understanding Radical and Radicalism. It is necessary to enlighten the people in the Riau Island Province. Fanatical is to hold strong, unwavering convictions in the face of evidence to the contrary, whether those convictions are positive or bad. Istiqomah is like having constancy, victory, courage, and glory in the conflict between obedience. When religious texts are understood superficially, they can birth to radical ideas and movements. Radicalism was used by national revolutionaries in the Western world to seize political power, as well as the flow used by anti-colonial nationalists and later used by social activists to achieve social goals.

Published: October 2023

International business negotiations face differences between different cultures. Cultural dimensions can affect the negotiation processes that take place between representatives of different cultures in the negotiations. As a result of the cultural difference between the negotiating parties, there may be many misunderstandings. This paper discusses the impact of cultural dimensions on the conduct of international business negotiation processes. Twenty previous studies on international business negotiation and cultural differences were reviewed and analyzed. Conflicts between negotiating partners often arise due to differences in preferences, tactics, perceptions, and partnership objectives that lead to the risk of opportunistic behavior and the private initiatives of each country. The findings of this study show that preparation for negotiation is one of the most effective methods for the success of international business negotiations. Preparation includes the study and analysis of the other party and attention to the context of the negotiations by collecting and organizing information. Negotiation context is an essential component of successful negotiation strategies. The research contributed to enriching the subject of international business negotiations and advises future researchers to focus on the positive aspect of the impact of cultural differences on international business.

Published: October 2023

This study successfully investigated the engine performance and emission characteristics of a dual injection system that uses both gasoline and ethanol fuels. The study utilized a microcontroller-based control system (PGM-FI) to substitute ethanol fuel injection for gasoline injection. Ethanol fuel was injected at the inlet with three different pressures: 1.0 bar, 1.2 bar, and 1.4 bar, while gasoline injector pressure was fixed at 2 bar. Results showed that substituting ethanol injection with a pressure of 1 bar resulted in a slight decrease in torque and power, but it was the best compared to the other pressures tested. The study found that the use of ethanol injection resulted in improved fuel economy at an ethanol injector pressure of 1 bar with a reduction in SFC of 8.89%. Exhaust emissions were also reduced, with a maximum reduction in CO emissions of 42.54% occurring at a pressure of 1 bar. Similarly, the lowest HC content in exhaust gas was observed at a pressure of 1 bar, which was reduced by 44.48%. However, the results highlighted that ethanol injection pressure could significantly reduce fuel consumption for case A-04 and increase the air-fuel ratio.

The use of composite materials in brake pads is becoming increasingly popular due to their high-performance characteristics, including good thermal stability, high wear resistance, and low noise generation. However, the development of new composite materials that offer even better performance is still an ongoing research area. In this study, the composite was made by hand layup method using epoxy resin as matrix material, with rice husk, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 as reinforcing materials. The composition of the composites was varied by changing the percentage of the reinforcement materials. The composites were then subjected to several characterization tests, including density, hardness, flexural strength, thermal analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), TGA/DSC, and wear testing. The test results showed that additional reinforcement materials to the epoxy resin matrix improved the mechanical properties of the composites. Overall, the study demonstrates that a hand layup method is a viable approach for preparing brake pad composite materials and that the addition of rice husk, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 can improve the mechanical properties of the composites. The best properties produced in this research were found in one of the specimens which used epoxy, rice husk, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 with a composition of 50 wt.%, 20 wt.%, 15 wt.%, and 15 wt.%. However, the addition of rice husk also provides wear resistance and thermal stability.

This article gives the physical and chemical aspects of uranium extraction from the zones of reservoir oxidation using ultrasonic technology and the theoretical justification for the technology of in-situ borehole leaching (ISL) of uranium deposits in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan has significant reserves, well-explored uranium deposits, developed uranium mining and processing capacities, as well as the current state of the world uranium market, which determine the prospects for the development of the uranium mining industry in Kazakhstan. Ore deposits of uranium deposits localized at the fronts of seam oxidation zones are largely similar in terms of the chemical composition of host rocks. Fe, Al, Mg, Ca, K, and Na are among the most widespread petrogenic elements of rock-forming minerals. Uranium is observed in association with iron, vanadium, selenium, molybdenum, rhenium, and other elements. Uranium mineralization is represented by exogenous (secondary) minerals – pitchblende and coffinite. In the general balance of uranium minerals, pitchblende is about 30%, and coffinite is about 70%. Nasturan (хUO2×yUO3×z) is represented by an association of tetravalent uranium dioxide and hexavalent uranium trioxide with a variable composition (UO2+UO3) - 65-85%, coffinite - tetravalent uranium silicate USiO4.

The purpose of the article is to generalize information about the formation of the collection of archaeological monuments from the explorations and excavations of Pavlo Khavliuk, which is stored in the funds of the Vinnytsia Regional Museum of History and Nature. The research methodology is represented by: the principle of historicism, system approach, methods of logic, grouping, comparative-historical, statistical and problem-chronological principles. The scientific novelty of the work in the fact that it is the first generalizing work, which systematizes and analyzes the materials of long-term excavations by Pavlo Khavliuk (1925-2001) at various historical monuments of archeology from the territory of the Vinnytsia region, which constitute a significant part of the stock collection of the Vinnytsia Regional Museum of History and Nature. Conclusions. Pavlo Ivanovych studied the archaeological monuments of our region from 1950 to 2001. During this time, the archaeologist discovered more than 1,200 objects of archaeological heritage. Stationary excavations were carried out at almost 100 monuments (settlements, hillforts, burial grounds, etc.). From 43 of them, the materials entered the main fund of the Vinnytsia Regional Museum of History and Nature. The rest of the collection is in the research fund and is under development. Among the processed materials in the foundation collection, there are materials from the monuments of the Trypil culture (Borysivka, Luhova, Rakhny Sobovi, Ulanivka), the pre-Scythian period (Kunka), the Scythian period (Gaisyn, Zhornyshche, Severynivka, Slobidka, Soroka, Stina), the Zarubinets culture (Nosivtsi, Maryanivka, Rachny Sobovi, Parkhomivka, Raiky), Chernyakhiv culture (Gaivove, Garmaki, Gunka, Demydivka, Zayachivka, Skitka, Slobidka, Trostyanets), early Slavic period (Holiky, Kalnik, Korzhivka, Kochuriv III, Kuna, Pariivka, Parkhomivka, Semenky I, Trostyanets, Khrinivka, Chortoriya, Shchurivtsi), of the period of Kyiv Rus (Demydivka, Parkhomivka, Sazhki, Slobidka, Chervone, Chortoriya, Yurkivtsi). There are 1,676 objects in the "Archaeology" storage group, and 156 artifacts in the "scientific auxiliary fund". Scientific passports have been drawn up for these subjects and they are actively introduced into scientific circulation. The other part of the collection is being processed and replenishes the fund collection of the museum. The obtained data are systematized and comprehensively analyzed, their historical interpretation is presented. The work describes the characteristics of materials by archaeological cultures and years of excavation.
The Neoplatonic Roots of Apophatic Theology in Medieval Islam on the Example of Maqāmāt aṭ-ṭuyūr/Manṭiq aṭ-ṭayr (The Conference of the Birds) by ʿAṭṭār Nīšāpūrī (ca. 1145–1221)
Authors: Kościelniak Krzysztof
Published: October 2023

This study will focus on the metaphysical and theological thought of Farīd ad-dīn ʿAṭṭār Nīšāpūrī, i.e. Abū Hamīd bin Abū Bakr Ibrāhīm (ca. 1145/6–1221). ʿAṭṭār’s best known masterpiece, Maqāmāt aṭ-ṭuyūr (Arabic Manṭiq aṭ-ṭayr), The Conference of the Birds, is seen as the finest example of Sufi love poetry in the Persian language after Rūmī. His thought is distinguished by its provocative and radical theology of love, as well as elements of apophaticism. ʿAṭṭār Nīšāpūrī’s vision of God should be analyzed in the context of Neoplatonism, which in a special way contributed to the development of apophatic Muslim thought. This approach challenged classical Islamic theism, whose representatives were convinced that they had sufficient knowledge of God from the Quran and Sunna. Aṭṭār’s doctrine focused on God who is a part of the universe. In other words, this author believed that whatever exists is part of God.
The Platonic-Biblical Origins of Apophatic Theology: Philo of Alexandria’s Philosophical Interpretation of the Pentateuchal Theophanies
Authors: Mrugalski Damian
Published: October 2023

This article examines Philo’s philosophical interpretation of the three theophanies in Exodus, which would, centuries later, continue to be considered by the great thinkers responsible for developing negative theology, such as Gregory of Nyssa and Dionysius the Areopagite. Although Exod 33:11 clearly states that the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if someone were to speak to his own friend, according to Philo, the lawgiver neither saw the face of God, nor learned the proper name of God, nor was he able to comprehend the essence of God. These very statements became the inspiration for later apophaticism. The present article seeks to establish to what extent Philo’s theses were influenced by Plato’s philosophy or by later Middle Platonism, and to what extent Philo, by commenting allegorically on the Pentateuch, becomes the initiator of new ideas hitherto unknown in philosophical discourse. In the course of the analyses, three great questions of apophatic theology are discussed: 1. the unnameability of God; 2. the unknowability of God’s essence; and 3. the knowability of God’s nature by grace.
A Positive Side to Apophaticism: Prolegomena
Authors: Gilski Marek
Published: October 2023

The article synthetically presents positive aspects of apophaticism. It discusses its apologetic role, its importance in defending against magical thinking, its focus on experience, its openness to pluralism, and its inspirational role for a variety of disciplines in delimiting their cognitive boundaries. Some of the most important conclusions are: a) apophaticism played an important role in the early days of Christianity in polemics against both pagan cults and magical tendencies; b) already in ancient Greece apophaticism influenced the search not only for symbolic interpretations of Homer’s poems but also for religious experience; c) the limits of cognition discovered by theology are becoming a contemporary experience of other sciences (mathematics, physics).
