Islamic Ruling of Consuming Meat-Birds that Go through the Contemporary Scalding and Evisceration Process
Authors: Mohammed Mouaz bin Maulana Abed Ali Hafeji  , Mohammed Farid Ali al-Fijawi
Published: February 2025

Islam requires the consumption of meat that has been sourced from an animal that has been slaughtered, processed, and delivered according to the Islamic requirements. The lawful status of meat is not tied to the slaughtering only. The processes of plucking feathers, removing entrails, etc., all have to be taken into consideration before the meat can be deemed lawful (halāl) and wholesome (tayyab). The nominal process in Islam to avoid impurity and contamination of the meat is to remove the entrails before immersing the chicken in hot water to soften the feathers for plucking. However, the current industrial practice switches this process. The mechanical plants are designed to immerse the chicken in hot water and pluck the feathers before gutting the chicken. This has given rise to inquiries and doubts to the Muslim consumers whether the meat of such birds are lawful or not. In order to provide an Islamic response to this issue, this paper is looking into, first the scientific and industrial perspective of the scalding and evisceration processes. Second, the paper is evaluating the scientific-industrial practice in the light of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh).

Authors: Ade Vieea Syantana  , Seri Hidayu  , Khairunnisa  , Elsa Salsabila
Published: February 2025

Production management in Islam, based on the Qur'an and Hadith, presents a relevant approach to supporting the sustainability of the Islamic economy. This article analyzes Islamic principles that encompass environmental sustainability, work ethics, and social responsibility in production activities. Based on the study of Qur'anic verses and Hadith, it is found that production management must be carried out wisely to avoid waste, maintain ecological balance, and meet quality standards in accordance with Sharia. The concept of halalan thayyiban encourages the creation of products that are not only halal but also of high quality, safe, and environmentally friendly. Additionally, the principle of justice in the distribution of production results, such as through zakat, infak, and sadaqah, contributes to economic equity and social welfare. The implementation of this management requires collaboration between the government, businesses, and society to create an inclusive, fair, and sustainable production system. Thus, the approach based on Islamic values can be a solution to address global challenges, such as resource exploitation, social inequality, and environmental damage, while also supporting the goals of sustainable development
The Contemporary Challenges of Unity Among Muslims
Authors: Yusuf Abdulrasaq
Published: February 2025

More than five decades, the Muslim ummah have been facing different challenges from within and outside the Muslim world. The challenges cut across the political, socio-economic, educational, and scientific technologies. Additionally, sectarianism and the absence of tolerance among the adherence of each sect have a greater impact on the unity of the Muslim ummah. Many reasons are adducible for the high rate of disunity among ummah. These include misperception of Islamic Teachings and distortion of some of the teachings of Islam by the western world who studied Islam to destroy it. The findings revealed here that the aforementioned challenges can be tackled if the basic teachings of the Qur’an and sunnah is given high preference in all Muslim communities. Also, there is the need for a regulatory body on Islamic affairs, which will be empowered to see to Dawah activities of individual scholars. It would go a long way in preventing the spread of falsehood around the Muslim world. It is recommended that the Teachings of Islam be conveyed to the people through Scholars who are well grounded in all the components of knowledge that constitute the Islamic knowledge such as Arabic, Usul fiqh, Uluml Qur’an etc. This fundamental measure would drastically reduce the challenges facing the Muslim world. The theoretical method is adopted in this work for the proper earning of many literatures.

The Legal Position of Islam in Indonesia
Authors: Karin Yuhsan  , Dedi Ratno
Published: February 2025

Islamic law is considered the law of God. That is, Islamic law is in the form of Allah's rules that aim to regulate the relationship between humans and God (worship) and the relationship between humans and society, the relationship between humans and daily human activities (muammalah). In Indonesia, Islamic law is adopted in the environment of Religious courts. A woman who has a case in a Religious Court needs to understand the history of its development and its legal sources. In this context, a woman may only litigate in the fields of marriage and inheritance. In this field, a woman does not find legal provisions based on equality between men and women. Instead, she finds legal provisions that are not yet appropriate. The Receptio Theory must continue to exist in the formation of new Indonesian law, because Islamic law is the main factor in the development of law in Indonesia in the form of Indonesian national law. The emergence of the Receptio A Contrario theory means that for Muslims, Islamic law applies, while customary law can apply if it does not conflict with Islamic law. In the development of Indonesian national law, religious law (Islamic Law) is the most dominant basis, where Islamic law plays a very important role in shaping the behavior of Indonesian people. Therefore, Islamic law is an absolute element for the development of Indonesian national law.

Authors: FARIZA RAZ ARISYI
Published: February 2025

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) in the banking sector leads to the proliferation of digital payments. Using Indonesia’s sub-national (provincial) banking data, we examine how bank loans and savings respond to digital payments. Our results show that digital payments increase transaction efficiency, boost consumption, and ultimately contribute positively to regional output. Digital payments also provide depositors with various investment options that can be accessed from mobile banking apps, thus increasing these investments while decreasing bank savings. These findings provide insights into the positive effects of digital payments on regional financial intermediation and development.

The pyrrolizine nucleus is a bicyclic ring system that consists of a pyrrole ring fused to another pyrrolidin ring. It constitutes the basic skeleton in many natural and synthetic compounds with diverse biological activities such as the anti-inflammatory, nootropic, antiemetic, antibacterial, antiviral, anticonvulsant, antiarrhythmic, and anticancer activities. At least two of these derivatives, ketorolac and mitomycin C, have been approved for the treatment of inflammation and cancer, respectively. Licofelone, a dual inhibitor of COX and 5-LOX, was also evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of osteoarthritis. On the other hand, a large number of the pyrrolizine-based derivatives have displayed anticancer activity against different types of cancer cells. In this review, the pyrrolizine-based derivatives with anticancer activity were classified based on their chemical structure into substituted, fused, and spiro-pyrrolizine. The mechanisms of action of these compounds included alkylation of the DNA, inhibition of COX, or alteration of the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane in cancer cells. In addition, other pyrrolizines were found to act by inhibiting DNA replication, rRNA, Rac1 kinase, thioredoxin reductase, or oncogenic kinases. The last section of this review also focuses on the reported X-ray crystal structures of these compounds with different proteins. The binding modes and interactions of ketorolac and licofelone were illustrated in this review. To sum up, we anticipate that the data compiled in this review will be useful to researchers in the design of pyrrolizines with potent biological activities.
Effective nursing care and management of bariatric surgery for obesity
Authors: Sundaresan Arjunan
Published: February 2025

Obese people are susceptible to health complications and diseases, such as cardiovascular disorders, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, gallstone, hypoxia, certain cancers and even mental and intellectual and disabilities. Bariatric surgery is a prevalent weight loss approach, predominantly in situations where prior efforts towards weight reduction proved ineffective. It engages a modification in the digestive system by limiting food consumption, leading to decreased stomach capacity and physiological ability for nutrient absorption. Since obesity associates with morbidity, the pre, intra and post-operative care and post-discharge rehabilitation comprise key determining factors for a successful bariatric surgery. The process may involve short- and long-term recuperation in nursing homes and hospitals, which accord significant impact on patient’s well-being and psychology. Nursing care for these individuals with unique physiological and emotional problems is often an arduous task, requiring environmental modifications, mobility training facilities and bariatric program and care-related equipment. Special attention is required from nursing professionals towards minimum fall and injury, management of related problems, including arterial venous insufficiency, neuropathic ulcers, seromas, anastomotic leaks, abdominal wound dehiscence and post-surgery complications, together with increased hygiene and skin care. Through an interdisciplinary approach, regular monitoring of diet, nutritional parameters, including weight change, Body Mass Index, energy and protein requirement, medication, clinical complications, functional mobility, psychosocial issues, etc. can be essential. Overall, the current review enlightens the importance of bariatric surgery, and particularly offers critical assessment of nursing care systems and specialized rehabilitation services addressing physical and mental health care in obese and post-operative patients.
Immediate and long-term effects of COVID-19's on the pharmaceutical industry
Authors: Audrick Julez
Published: February 2025

On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to be a worldwide pandemic. This pandemic has significant repercussions on the pharmaceutical industry and the health market. These effects could manifest in the short or long term and require planning and detection to lessen their socioeconomic cost.
This brief communication research evaluated the COVID-19 pharmaceutical market problem and discussed the immediate and long-term effects of the pandemic on the pharmaceutical industry.
Demand adjustments, regulatory changes, modifications to the research and development process, and a move toward telemedicine and telecommunication are some of the short-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic may have long-term effects on the pharmaceutical industry at both the global and local levels, including a slowdown in industry growth, delays in approvals, a shift toward self-sufficiency in the pharmaceutical production supply chain, changes in consumer trends for health-market products, and ethical quandaries.
The discovery of these consequences may help policymakers create more evidence-based plans to address the issues that the COVID-19 pandemic presents to the pharmaceutical industry and other health markets.
Research on Evaluating EEG Signal Processing Methods for the Development of BCI Systems
Authors: Ma Chau Thi , Dinh Hieu Nguyen , Minh Kien Nguyen , Thanh Long Vu
Published: February 2025

This article investigates the evaluation of EEG signal processing methods to enhance the development of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems. Given the critical role of EEG signal quality in determining BCI performance, we explore the impact of various noise types—such as artifacts from eye movements, muscle activity, and electronic interference—on signal integrity. We focus on noise filtering techniques, particularly their effectiveness in preserving essential signal components while eliminating unwanted noise. Our research includes a detailed analysis of several common noise processing methods, including Independent Component Analysis (ICA), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), and bandpass filtering. Through comprehensive testing on real EEG signals, we identify optimal strategies for improving signal quality. The findings suggest that while ICA offers high-level noise filtering, it requires expert intervention for effective implementation. In contrast, the bandpass filter demonstrates significant potential for automated noise reduction, providing stable performance with minimal computational cost. Applying these methods before classification has shown to enhance BCI system accuracy significantly. This study contributes to the ongoing efforts to refine BCI algorithms by identifying effective noise-filtering strategies that can be seamlessly integrated into practical applications.
A Case Study of the Advent of Empirical Legal Studies in the Netherlands: The Narrow Pathway of Instrumentalism
Authors: Mascini Peter
Published: February 2025

This study examines how Empirical Legal Studies (ELS) gained a foothold in the Netherlands, particularly in the context of the country's long tradition of empirical socio-legal research. It is based on participatory observation and content analysis. It is argued that the way in which ELS has developed in the Netherlands fits into a much longer intellectual tradition in which the instrumental study of law is central. This tradition largely ignores alternative approaches, also prevalent in the Netherlands, in which the relationship between law and other normative systems ('legal pluralism') or between law and society is central. While these differences in the empirical study of law, which previously divided the Dutch L&S community to the bone, have become more or less invisible with the hospitable reception ELS has received from the L&S community, substantive differences remain. Bringing these differences back to the fore may help to avoid misunderstandings that arise from ignorance of the coexistence of different empirical approaches to the study of law and may facilitate the conscious choice of a particular approach.

Published: February 2025

The use of technology to enhance educational experiences has gained significant attention, particularly in the field of emotional engagement monitoring. Active student participation can promote a greater knowledge of values, ethics, and social duties, which is particularly crucial in university ideological and political education. The research objective is to establish a biosensor-based emotional monitoring and feedback system for university ideological and political education. This research proposed a novel Battle Royale fine-tuned Deep Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BR-DBiLSTM) to detect both cognitive and emotional engagement in students. The system uses a combination of biosensors to monitor physiological and behavioral indicators and collect emotional data. The feedback system uses an instructor dashboard to display emotional states and engagement levels and alerts to trigger responses if students show disengagement or stress. The data was preprocessed using Z-score normalization to reduce noise from the obtained data. Feature extraction was implemented using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), BR is to optimize and select the features and DBiLSTM model to improve its classification accuracy. The experimental findings show that the suggested model has a high degree of reliability in identifying cognitive and emotional involvement, with a Micro-F1 of 90.62%, Micro-P of 89.95%, and Micro-R of 88.34%. This system demonstrates the potential for enhancing engagement in ideological and political education through adaptive feedback mechanisms based on biosensor data.

Many still believe that the market at certain times reflects rationality but equally, there are emotions, psychology and even the irrationality of the participants coming into play and this paper attempts to focus on the interaction of the investors’ fear, optimism, greed and pessimism, which are sentiments that affect stock markets. From the perspective of behavioural finance, this study seeks to understand how psychological irregularities, such as herding or loss aversion or that of overconfidence cause strange phenomena in the stock market such as bubble formation or market crashes or volatility. Some investors use social media or tools like VIX which provide sentiment analysis and volunteers emotion and trends, to explain emotional involvement with the market. Other LA Rocco demonstrates that the economic climate more accurately reflects market trends than it corresponds with emotions, by using real life examples of all well-known bubbles including the dot-com bubble and the 2008 real estate market crash. The rest of the themes demonstrate trends to indicate the emotions people use such as COVID-19 times and how this contagion is a factor for real price determination. These results have implications for investors as they explain the potential strategies for investors to manage emotions as well as point to the AI tools that would provide such opportunities. All in all, this study calls for greater appreciation of the interpenetration of psychological factors and economic factors when analysing modern financial markets dynamics.

Published: February 2025

Skill development is essential for sustainable development, the promotion of employment, decent jobs, and entrepreneurship, particularly in vulnerable populations. Since the late 2000s, India has undertaken a major reform initiative to enhance its vocational education and training (VET) system, with the aim of improving the skills of 500 million people. The country introduced its first National Skills Development Strategy in 2009, established the National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) in 2013, adopted the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF), and launched a revised National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship in 2015. It recognizes the importance of a robust framework for promoting skill development and entrepreneurship as key drivers of growth. The policy's vision is to "create an ecosystem of empowerment by scaling skills at speed and with high standards, while fostering a culture of innovation-based entrepreneurship that generates wealth and employment, ensuring sustainable livelihoods for all citizens of the country." The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has led several initiatives under the Skill India Mission to improve employability and skill development. Notable programs include the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), which offers short-term skill training, and the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendras (PMKK), aimed at standardizing quality training across India. Other programs, such as Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS), focus on nonliterate and rural populations, while Pradhan Mantri YUVA Yojana fosters entrepreneurship. The launch of Skill India Digital (SID) leverages AI-driven tools to match jobs and promote continuous learning. These initiatives collectively work toward building a more skilled and employable workforce in India. Equipping youth with the right skills can shift their focus from being consumers to being creators of wealth and employment. Ultimately, creating employment opportunities can lead to reduced poverty and improved living standards.

INDIA’S SHIFT TO A CASHLESS ECONOMY: IS IT TRULY ECONOMICAL?

The Indian economy has witnessed a rapid shift toward cashless transactions, especially following the 2020 pandemic. Traditionally, transactions required physical currency such as notes or coins, but the advent of digital payments has transformed how money is exchanged. While digitalization has brought convenience and efficiency, this transaction raises critical questions about its true economic impact and feasibility. This research paper seeks to critically examine the economic implications of digital payments. Are these transactions truly economical for users? For instance, in the past, owning a physical wallet was a one-time expense, often costing no more than Rs. 500 and lasting years. In contrast, the shift to digital wallets requires users to own a smartphone-an expensive purchase-and incur recurring costs for internet connectivity. Is this truly more economical in the long run? Additionally, the power and control over money have shifted to third party platforms. Unlike cash, which provides complete autonomy to users, digital transactions rely on intermediaries who can impose restrictions, deny transactions, or charge fees. This raises concerns about financial independence and security in a cashless economy. Furthermore, the reliance on technology has introduced significant dependency. Digital payments require a functioning smartphone, a stable internet connection, and access to the digital ecosystem. In cases of network outages, internet bans, or device theft, individuals are left unable to transact, highlighting the vulnerability of a cashless system. In contrast, cash transactions offer greater flexibility and independence, as cash can be used and exchanged freely without technological barriers. This paper explores these issues in depth, questioning whether India’s move towards a cashless economy is truly economical, sustainable, or beneficial for its diverse population. While digital payments offer modern convenience, they also come with hidden costs, dependency, and challenges to financial autonomy that must be critically evaluated.
