A Study on Unification Education Current Affairs of Social Movements in the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries in the Chungcheongnamdo Region
Authors: Park Chan-Seok ,   yugwansun Research Center
Published: July 2024

The path to unification is in line with the Donghak Movement, the March 1st Movement, and the peaceful unification movement that must continue today. What can be further strengthened in the future is that the Donghak Movement and the Manse Movement that took place in South Chungcheong Province were a national social movement and at the same time a fierce resistance and peace movement of the independence movement against Japanese oppression. This path of independence is a path of national participation that is consistent with the path to unification today. In this sense, the fact that the spirit of the Unification Movement, the Donghak Revolutionary Movement, the Righteous Army Movement, the March 1st Movement, and the Singanhoe Movement continued to form local movements in the South Chungcheong region shows that the spirit of the local residents was based on long-term independence and independence. Therefore, although the division is prolonged, unification education can be continuously expanded for someday unification and a connection with open discussion can be found.

Published: July 2024

Amaç: Endüstri devrimi ile birlikte şehirlerde hızla artan ve büyüyen işçi nüfusu için ortaya çıkan barınma ihtiyacı, konut sorununu toplumun gündemine taşımıştır. Konut sorununun çözümüne dönük olarak ve konutun gelişim sürecinde ülkelerin ekonomisi, yönetim biçimi ve sosyo-kültürel yapısına bağlı olarak, farklı yaklaşımlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Rusya’da konut iklimsel ve kültürel özelliklerden kaynaklanan bazı biçimsel farklılıklara rağmen uzun bir zaman kırsal karakterini değiştirmeden korumuştur. Çalışmada, konut gelişiminde endüstrileşme ve ülke politikalarının etkisinin Rusya örneğinde incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Kavramsal Çerçeve: Konut, Sovyet Devlet politikasının her zaman en önemli parçası olmuş, insan bilincinin dönüştürülmesi ve davranışlarının değiştirilmesinde en önemli rol oynaması beklenmiştir.
Yöntem: Çalışmada, doküman analizi kapsamında literatür araştırmasından elde edilen veriler kullanılmıştır. Çalışma örneklemi Rusya’daki konut politikaları, 1917 öncesi Rus Devleti’nin tarihi gelişimi ve bu gelişim içindeki konut örneklerini de kapsayacak biçimde 1917-1991 yılları arasında Sovyetler Birliği’nde yaşanan ekonomik ve politik değişimler ve bu değişimlerin mimarlık alanında oluşturduğu dönemler ve değişimlerin etkisi ile konut tasarımı ve yapımında meydana gelen gelişmeler dönemsel olarak ele alınmıştır.
Bulgular: Ülkenin ekonomik olanakları, yaşam alanlarını belirleyen standartlara, konutta yer alacak fonksiyonların belirlenmesine ve bu fonksiyonların konuttaki mekansal organizasyonuna yansımıştır. Konutlara tek aile yerleştirilebildiği gibi, konut’un yetersiz olduğu durumlarda aynı konutu birden fazla ailenin paylaştığı “komünal” yaşam veya ortak kullanım alanları olan komünal daireler oluşturulmuştur. 1960’lı yıllarda endüstrileşmiş ekonomik konut yapım metotlarının uygulanmaya başlanması ile, ekonomik “her aileye bir konut” prensibi tamamen benimsenmiş ve sonraki çalışmalar bu prensip doğrultusunda gelişmiştir.
Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçları, 1917’de başlayıp 1991 yılında sona eren Sovyet rejimi sürecindeki gelişme ve değişimlerin, konut tasarımı ve yapımını etkilediğini göstermektedir. Yaşam kalitesi sınırlarının belirlenmesinde, konutun yeri göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, ülke tarafından ortaya konan politikaların rolünün önemi daha iyi anlaşılmaktadır.

Authors: Kasar Aslı
Published: July 2024

Amaç: Gerçekliği kendi çıkar ve görüşleri doğrultusunda yeniden kurgulayan ve kitlelere ileten medya son dönemde çocukların en çok tercih ettiği animasyon sinema filmleri içeriğinde kültürel değerlere dair “kötülük” kavramını vurgulamakta ve bu kavrama dair davranış ve becerileri pekiştirecek unsurlara yer vererek sağlıklı nesillerin yetişmesi adına ciddi tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışmada “kötülük” kavramını vurgulayan “Minyonlar” sinema filmleri Gerbner’ın Kültürel Göstergeler ve Ekme Kuramı kapsamında incelenerek farkındalık oluşturmak ve literatüre katkı sağlamak amaçlanmaktadır.
Kavramsal Çerçeve: Gerbner, medyanın bir kültürde var olan değer ve tutumları başka bir deyiş ile egemen değer ve tutumları hikâyeler anlatarak ve bu hikâyeler içinde yarattıkları kahraman figürlerle seyircinin bilincine ektiğini öne sürmektedir. Bu durumunsa çocuklar üzerinde ciddi etki oluşturduğunu onların televizyon ve sinemada yer alan çizgi kahramanlar ve gerçek kişiler üzerinden rol model alarak onlar gibi davranmaya başladığını belirtmektedir. Gelecek nesillerin bu değişen değer yargıları ölçüsünde davranmaya başlamalarıysa toplum sağlığı açısından oldukça önem taşımaktadır.
Yöntem: Çalışmanın yöntemi 2015 yılında ilk filmi gösterime giren ardından 2022’de ikincisi yayınlanan “Minyonlar ve Minyonlar 2: Gru'nun Yükselişi” sinema animasyon filmlerinin Gerbner’ın, kültürel göstergeler ekme kuramı bağlamında analiz edilmesini içermektedir. Medya mesajlarının medya tarafından nasıl aktarıldığına odaklanılan çalışmada Gebner’ın benimsemiş olduğu ve televizyonun sunduğu dünyanın portresini ortaya çıkarmak için kullandığı içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmış bulunmaktadır.

Sonuç: Bu durum ise ekme kuramı ile ele alındığında “kötü” olmayı olumlu gösteren tutum ekimlerinin olduğunu ortaya koyarak sosyal, duygusal, bilişsel ve dil becerilerinin kazanıldığı ve hızlı bir gelişimin yaşandığı çocukluk döneminde bu değerlerin ekilmesinin kritik önem taşıdığını göstermektedir.
On the logic of the "ideal narrative"
Authors: Romashchuk Inna ,   M. M. Ippolitov-Ivanov State Musical Pedagogical Institute
Published: July 2024

In the presented material, the author, relying on Frank Ankersmit's theory of narrative logic, draws attention to the "ideal narrative" as an important principle for revealing the deeply hidden artistic intent of a musical work. It is precisely the "ideal narrative" that allows for penetrating all layers of the text (real and implied) and forming a holistic understanding of the conceptual plan. This is shown using the example of the last — Sixth — Symphony of Gavriil Nikolayevich Popov (1904–1972), in which a world of grotesque-tragic images is revealed, hidden under the title "Festive".
The musical text as a "secret behind seven seals", or Peculiarities in composition and narrative as a "special invitation"
Authors: Alkon Elena ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music
Published: July 2024

The author addresses the issue of the multi-layered nature of a musical work, which can exist in three forms — mental (conceptualized), visual (encoded in musical notation), and auditory (audible) text. A deep understanding of the author's intention is facilitated by the analyst's attention to various details, which can be noticed due to professional experience and the position of a "distinguished interlocutor" engaging in a dialogue with the composer.

Published: July 2024

The article by E. Chigareva is devoted to the phenomenon of the author’s song on the example of the work of the poet Vladimir Ilyushenko. Poems-songs are considered in parallel from the point of view of poetic devices and their reflection in the melody of songs. Particular attention is paid to the syntactic and compositional levels of poetic and musical organization, on which this similarity is especially noticeable (syntactic parallelism, various kinds of repetitions, sometimes modified lines and stanzas). The article raises the problem of the creative process and the peculiarities of its manifestation in the genre of art song. For this, the poet’s comments are used (in particular, an interview with Vladimir Ilyushenko). Analytical observations are supported by concrete examples.
"Poem of ecstasy" by Alexander Scriabin: the phenomenon of the hero at the top of cultural exaltation
Authors: Topilin Daniil ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music
Published: July 2024

This article attempts to trace the evolution of the image of Scriabin’s hero. An important stage in this process is "Poem of Ecstasy" for a large symphony orchestra, the first single-movement symphony-poem by Alexander Scriabin. The article highlights the trend of increasing emotional elements in the musical culture of Western Europe, starting from the turn of the 16th — 17th centuries, up to the beginning of the 20th century, culminating in a type of exaltation, i. e.  highest emotional saturation. In this research perspective, the thesis is revealed: culture "exalts", and Scriabin’s hero rejoices in ecstasy. The scientific narrative touches upon the genre of the poem itself, and examines the origins of the formation of the image of Scriabin’s symbolist hero — the human creator. The special features of the metaphorical world of Scriabin’s creativity are revealed, their connection with traditional romantic motifs of Western European musical art is emphasized, as well as their further significant divergence from romantic musical and aesthetic attitudes.
The archetype of mystery in the works of A. Bakshi
Authors: Putecheva Olga ,   Kuban Medical Institute
Published: July 2024

The subject of this article is one of the vast compositions of the Moscow composer A. Bakshi, "Polyphony of the World", the genre of which is designated as a mystery. The work reflects the composer’s views on the problems of cosmogony, cultural development, art, and the role of the creator. The study identifies both the universal, archetypal foundations of the genre in this work, and the unique ones determined by the features of composer’s thinking. The methodology of musical analysis of the composition is based on identifying stable models, principles that allow identifying the genre amidst its historical transformations. This approach involves studying the techniques of musical development, uncovering connections that concern the entire work and its stage life. The study examines the specifics of the development of sound material and its spatial organization, based on the concept of the "theater of Sound". The novelty lies in studying the sound organization and its scenic embodiment through the prism of the archetypal foundations of the genre, giving it stability and consistency. It is proven that in terms of imagery and dramaturgy, the author relies on ancient origins associated with the mythological Orphic complex. The conclusion is drawn about the synthetic nature of the composition based on the expressive, formative, and semantic role of the musical material in the unity of the whole. The archetype of mystery defines the stable principles of the genre and encompasses various transformations.
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach’s Clavier Concertos: Between the Baroque and the Classical Styles
Authors: Nagina Dana A. ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Ivanov Arseny I. ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music
Published: July 2024

Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1710–1784) was known by his contemporaries primarily as a virtuoso clavier player and a master of improvisation. In his quantitatively small compositional legacy, by 18th century standards, the primary position is reserved to clavier music, most notably, the large-scale genres — fantasias, concertos and sonatas. The six clavier concertos by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (the authorship of five of them having been confirmed, while the sixth was ascribed to the composer) manifest the characteristic features of his musical style — a combination of baroque and early classical stylistic features. The present article is devoted to revealing these qualities. Thus, the attributes of the baroque style include the use of the ritornello form, the principles of unfolding in the episodes, the incorporation of rhetorical figures into the thematicism, as well as the characteristic textural calls-over between the tutti and the solo sections. The principles of the classical style are disclosed in the sonata-form attributes complexifying the ritornello form, in the concise segmentation of the expositional constructions (the ritornellos), and the turn toward the classical topics. In general, the model of Bach’s concertos fits into the type of “nested sonata” model proposed by Omer Maliniak and Yoel Grinberg, holding an intermediary position between the baroque (“ritornello-style”) and the classical types. Special attention in the article is given to one of the most crucial qualities that emphasized the originality of Friedemann Bach’s style — the fantasia quality. The latter is expressed in the sudden changes of melodic and rhythmical contours and types of texture, the emergence of fantasia-like compositions in ritornellos, as well as in quotations from the music of J. S. Bach and the inventive reassessment of the derived material.
About the Style of John Coolidge Adams’ Chamber Symphony
Authors: Churilova Elena A. ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the stylistic features of the Chamber Symphony by contemporary American composer John Coolidge Adams, a topic that is currently dwelt upon insufficiently. The author explores the paths of formation of the chamber symphony genre and provides examples of its manifestation in the works of 20th century Russian composers and those from other countries. The similarities and differences between Adams’ Chamber Symphony and Arnold Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphony No. 1, opus 9: the specific features of instrumentation and the compositional structure are examined. The programmatic nature of the composer’s works received separate attention in the article: approaches intrinsic to the Romantic era are compared with the poetics of the titles of Adams’ composition. The author of the article pays special attention to the timbral and rhythmic features of the composition as well as its formal structure. Drawing on a wide range of sources, the specificity of the creation of the Chamber Symphony and Adams’ perspectives of the minimalist method of composition are disclosed. The influence of minimalism on Adams’ compositional style is established. On the basis of the analysis of the three movements of the cycle, the idea is substantiated that in the musical material of the Chamber Symphony, Adams managed to maintain the balance between traditional and non-traditional approaches to symphonic music.

Published: July 2024

The music publishing business of the second half of the 19th and the early 20th centuries is one of the most interesting phenomena in Russian culture that makes it possible for us to analyze the specific features of its spatial and temporal development and a vast scholarly range. The article examines the advertising materials, periodical catalogues and price lists of individual printing company, and as a result the necessity arises for a holistic perception of the manufactured assortment and a certain number of its features. As a rule, this is associated with the commercial interests of specialized firms that published and sold musical scores and books about music, the situation in the market of that time, as well as the objective and subjective factors of historical time. The publishing house “Julius Heinrich Zimmerman” was the leader of the industrial segment that made use of advanced technologies in the publishing and sales of sheet music. The scale of this activity is fully reflected in the special catalogues preserved in the funds of the Russian State Library (containing valuable material about their cultural profile, economic strategies, advertising mechanisms and artistic components) — a generalizing example of the work of many competitive enterprises. The focus of our attention lies on catalogues covering the time period between 1885 and 1911 — the time period of the creation of a systemic network trade, the opening of branches in other countries, and the achievement of a stable international reputation. Examination of these samples makes it possible to understand the algorithms of obtaining monetary profit and marketing moves that are also on demand at the present time.
Scholarly and Academic-Methodological Activities of the Gnesins’ State Musical Pedagogical Institute and the Political Events of the Second Half of the 1940s
Authors: Naumenko Tatiana I. ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music
Published: July 2024

The focus of the article is the history of the Gnesins’ Institute examined within the framework of the political events of the second half of the 1940s. The new institute was established during the difficult wartime period (1944) and after a few years turned out to be at the epicenter of the scholarly and cultural politics of the Soviet Union leading a struggle against “cosmopolitanism.” It was primarily the scholarly-methodological conception of the institute that became the target of criticism. Since the discipline of music acquired a high social status by the beginning of the researched period, musicologists were considered to be one of the most influential professional groups. The author of the article analyzes a number of archival documents, in particular, the transcript of the Open Session of the Artistic Council of the Institute, which took place on March 9 and 10, 1949. According to the present source, critical attacks were levied against the scholarly works and textbooks of Tamara Livanova, Valentin Ferman, Victor Berkov, Valntina Konen, Anatoly Butskoy, and Mikhail Pekelis. Analysis of the hystorical materials shows that the administration of this academic institution attempted to deflect the blow from the institute, while the faculty tried to counteract the Communist Party apparatus. Notwithstanding the demands of the leaders of the party organization of the institute, the researchers working in institute did not have their academic degrees taken away from them, nor were the condemned textbooks subjected to prohibition. At the same time, all the musicologists subjected to the “purge” were forced to leave Moscow. Having been dispersed throughout the entire country, they became the founders of regional academic schools.

The author of the article delineates as a special scholarly issue the study of sacred music by composers of the Gnesins’ House. The diverse aspects of its solution potentially include historical motives, subject matter and genres, content and form, meaning and its expression, etc. We can consider Sergei Trubachev (1919–1995), who was the head of the Conducting Department at the Gnesins’ State Musical-Pedagogical Institute, to be one of the founders of the present-day sacred musical creativity in Russia in the post-Soviet period. While examining the sacred music created rather recently by the composers from the Gnesin Russian Academy of Music — Kirill Volkov, Alexei Larin, Vladimir Dovgan, Andrei Mikita, Andrei Golovin, Valery Pyankov, and Valery Kikta, the author observes that there is a predominance of non-liturgical genres in it. The artistic approach of the composers in the sphere of the sacred musical space is characterized in the article as the interaction of the classical and non-classical, the traditional and the non-traditional elements. On the examples of sacred works by Kirill Volkov, Vladimir Dovgan, Alexei Larin and Andrei Mikita, the author highlights its concrete features: first of all, the connection of canonic and secular texts, traditional writing and contemporary intonational language.

Film Music and the Director’s Aesthetics: Concerning the Methodology of Film Text Analysis
Authors:   Russian State University of Cinematography named after S. Gerasimov, Mikheeva Yulia V.
Published: July 2024

The article raises the question of the necessity of applying special and individualized approaches in analyzing the music of author’s cinematography. The traditionally basic trend of research of cinema music centers around functionally semantic analysis of cinematic works. However, in the movies of author-directors, music is frequently included in the polysemantic artistic space of a cinematic text in the broad sense of this concept as the assemblage of the text (the storyline narrative), the context, the subtext, the intertext, and the metatext of the cinema product. As a rule, analysis of the music of the author’s film is inseparable from the visual images and peculiarities of the other elements of the phonogram (speech, noises, sound effects, silence). In this context, the following concepts require demarcation: “film music,” “music of the film” and “the audiovisual solution of film.” The suggested approach, based on the principles of film director’s aesthetics, is expounded on the example of analysis of Robert Bresson’s film Une femme douce (A Gentle Woman). The movie is of special interest due to the fact that in it Bresson’s general ideas regarding the use of sound, including music, in film, are manifested to the fullest degree, including declarative utterances from the screen. In the case of Bresson, the principles of phenomenological aesthetics manifested in the director’s works, especially those from his mature periods, are of foundational significance. However, the general approaches towards analysis of music in author’s cinematography suggested in the present article may be extrapolated and applied in the research of the works of film directors who created cinema works on the basis of other and most diverse aesthetic principles.
DYNAMIC RESPONSE ANALYSIS OF h-FGS PLATES SUBJECTED TO CONSECUTIVE BLAST LOADING
Authors: Duong Manh Tuan ,   Institute of Technical Engineering, Sa Doi Street, Hanoi, Vietnam
Published: July 2024

The main aim of this work is to use a finite element method (FEM) based on Shi’s third-order shear deformation plate theory (TSDT) to study the dynamic response of sandwich plates subjected to consecutive blast loading. The sandwich plate has an auxetic honeycomb core and two different functionally graded materials (FGMs) skin layers (so-called h-FGS plates). The honeycomb core helps significantly reduce the weight of the sandwich structures as well as enhance vibration absorption. The governing equation is derived from Hamilton's principle. After verifying the present approach, the effect of input parameters on the dynamic response of h-FGS plates is carried out in detail. The obtained results are expected to be useful for calculating and designing h-FGS plates in practical engineering.
NAVIER SOLUTION FOR DEFLECTION AND STRESSES ANALYSIS OF FGM SANDWICH PLATE RESTING ON PASTERNAK ELASTIC FOUNDATION
Authors: Duong Thanh Huan ,   Vietnam National University of Agriculture, Hanoi, Vietnam
Published: July 2024

In this article, the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and Navier’s solution are used to establish analytical solutions for analyzing the deflection and stresses of FGM sandwich plate structures resting on a Pasternak elastic foundation. The top and bottom layers consist of functionally graded materials (P-FGM) that vary according to the exponential law along the thickness direction, while the core layer is composed of a porous material. The boundary condition of the plate is simply supported on all the edges, and the plate is subjected to a sinusoidal distributed load perpendicular to the mid-surface. The reliability of the model is validated through comparison with findings published in reputable journals. The effects of material parameters, geometric dimensions, foundation coefficients, and face-core-face thickness ratios on deflection and stress components of rectangular FGM sandwich plates are investigated in detail in parametric studies.

Authors: Nguyen Chi Tho ,   Institute of Techniques for Special Engineering, Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi, Vietnam
Published: July 2024

This article introduces a finite element approach for examining the static bending behavior of composite plates. The method considers the variable mechanical characteristics of plates and utilizes an elastic foundation with varying stiffness values. The plate's calculation expressions and equilibrium equations are derived using the new style shear deformation theory. The article uses a mesh composed of four-node rectangular components to solve the equilibrium equation. Each node in the mesh has six degrees of freedom. The solution's dependability and convergence are confirmed by comparing it with previously published findings. Based on this premise, the study presents numerical findings that examine how various geometric factors, materials, boundary conditions, and elastic foundations affect the static bending behavior of composite panels. This research is a great resource for engineers, providing excellent guidance for the design, production, and utilization of these structures in real-world applications.

Authors: Sayyidul Laily F.Ti Ayyu
Published: July 2024

Eye diseases such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Cataract, and Glaucoma are significant causes of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment and management of these conditions. This study aimed to develop a machine learning model for the automated classification of retinal images into four categories: Normal, Diabetic Retinopathy, Cataract, and Glaucoma. The dataset, sourced from Kaggle, comprised approximately 1000 images per class, which were pre-processed using Sobel segmentation to enhance relevant features. Hu Moments were employed for feature extraction due to their invariance to scale, rotation, and translation. The classification was performed using a Linear Support Vector Classifier (SVC), and the model's performance was evaluated through 5-fold cross-validation. The average performance metrics were 44.34% for accuracy, 48.26% for precision, 44.34% for recall, and 41.76% for F1-score. These results indicate that while Sobel segmentation and Hu Moments effectively highlight and capture essential features of retinal images, the Linear SVC classifier's performance is moderate, suggesting the need for more advanced classifiers. The study's findings contribute to the ongoing research in automated eye disease diagnosis by demonstrating the strengths and limitations of classical image processing and machine learning techniques. Future research should focus on exploring more sophisticated models, such as convolutional neural networks, and addressing dataset imbalances to enhance classification accuracy and reliability. This study underscores the potential for automated diagnostic tools in clinical settings but also highlights the necessity for further optimization to achieve practical applicability.

The researcher employed descriptive, analytical, and inductive methods, structuring the study into an introduction, three main topics, and a conclusion. The introduction outlines the research problem, objectives, significance, and plan. The first topic explores the meaning, types, and sources of tawatur, while the second examines its application in Shari'ah meanings. The third addresses contemporary interpretations of Shari'ah and their relation to tawatur. The conclusion summarizes key findings and recommendations. The study reveals that tawatur, characterized by frequent repetition suggesting truthfulness, is undeniable in word, meaning, action, or induction, akin to categorical certainties. This includes Qur'anic verses and mutawatir hadiths, with agreed meanings in religion, jurisprudence principles, major jurisprudential rules, the five essentials, and various branches. The research critiques modern interpretations for their lack of criteria, considering them cultural distortions aimed at corrupting religion. Based on the findings, the researcher recommends emphasizing the importance of tawatur in Shari'ah meanings, educating people about it, learning Arabic and jurisprudence fundamentals, and cautioning against misleading modern interpretations. Suggestions are also made for further research and integrating study results into educational curricula and public discourse to foster a sound understanding of religion and counter misinterpretations.// هدف البحث إلى التعريف بأهمية إبراز دلالة ما تواتر من معاني الشريعة، وإظهار سعة مساحته للاستفادة منها في تثبيت اليقين والدفاع عن الإسلام، اعتمد فيه الباحث المنهج الوصفي والتحليلي والاستقرائي، وتكون البحث من مقدمة وثلاثة مباحث وخاتمة، تناولت المقدمة إشكالية البحث وهدفه وأهميته وخطته، أما المبحث الأول فتناول معنى التواتر وأصنافه ومصادره، وتعمق المبحث الثاني في مجالات تطبيق التواتر في معاني الشريعة، وركز المبحث الثالث على القراءة الحديثة للشريعة وعلاقتها بهذه المعاني، وانتهى البحث بخاتمة تضمنت أهم النتائج والتوصيات، فأظهرت النتائج أن التكرار المتواتر الذي يوحي بالصدق سواء في اللفظ أو المعنى أو العمل أو ما ثبت بالاستقراء لا يحتمل التأويل، لأنه بمنزلة القطعيات التي يقتضي تأويلها منافاة الضروريات، ويشمل التواتر ألفاظ القرآن والأحاديث المتواترة لفظا أو معنى التي اتفق على المعنى فيهما، وأهم المجالات الرئيسة للتواتر أصول الدين وأصول الفقه، والقواعد الفقهية الكبرى، والضرورات الخمس، وكثير من الفروع أيضا، وأدان البحث القراءة الجديدة لافتقادها للمعايير، واعتبرتها تشويشا للثقافة يهدف إلى إفساد الدين، وبناء على النتائج أوصى الباحث بتعظيم ما تواتر من معاني الشريعة وتوعية الناس بها، وتعلم اللغة العربية وأصول الفقه، والتحذير من انحراف القراءة الجديدة، وقدم مقترحات بإجراء بحوث تكميلية في الموضوع، ودمج نتائج هذه الدراسة في المناهج الدراسية والخطاب العام، لتعزيز الفهم السليم للدين في مواجهة التفسيرات المغلوطة.
1 - Soft Power Diplomacy
Authors: Suping Kekgaoditse , Adar Korwa Gombe
Published: July 2024

For decades, and despite sanctions and turbulent relations with major international actors since the 1960s, Cuba has managed to assert itself in the international system. A small island with very limited natural resources, Cuba leveraged its international affairs on its provision of healthcare. This article investigates the role and impact of Cuban medical assistance in Africa. It proceeds from the premise that soft power has useful explanatory value in understanding the Cuba–Africa diplomatic intercourse. The article argues that despite its political ideology and limited political freedoms, Cuba established itself as a model and prominent player in the unique and consistent provision of healthcare and humanitarian assistance to the African continent, and in the development of Africa’s healthcare systems, for more than sixty years. It has also offered community-based healthcare training, which most African countries consider to be more relevant and cost-effective than hospital-based training. Furthermore, the Cuban training gave African medical students a shift in perspective and orientation to focus on public service, not profit-making.
3 - Randomised Trials As A Dead-End For African Development
Authors: Muller Seán Mfundza
Published: July 2024

Randomised Control Trials (RCTs) have been presented as a method for identifying interventions that will improve the lives of residents of economically poorer countries. I argue that RCT-driven development policy is unlikely to achieve even its narrower objectives and, instead, is likely to hinder the attainment of long-term economic and social development objectives in African countries. The article examines two fundamental methodological problems: first, that proselytisers of this approach, despite claims to the contrary, have not addressed the challenge of extrapolating from experimental results to policy interventions; second, that while the use of RCTs is framed as an objective scientific approach to policymaking, it systematically smuggles in the ideological and other biases of the researchers involved. These claims are illustrated with three sets of examples: controversial studies that involved cutting off water to poor households in Nairobi and randomising exposure to a Christian missionary programme in the Philippines; studies on civil servant absenteeism in Kenya and India cited in the 2019 Nobel award; and two case studies from South Africa pertaining to labour market and educational interventions where RCTs distorted the policy process with negative consequences. The conclusion is that the RCT approach is a dead end for African development.
