Utilizing new survey results and qualitative sociological findings the below paper analyzes the working and living experiences of migrant workers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The paper demonstrates that while Pakistani workers’ working and living conditions are much worse than those of Emiratis or white expats, most of them have better earnings than in Pakistan. The research shows that return migrants in Pakistan are upwardly mobile in the social hierarchy of Pakistan. The paper faces two analytical puzzles. The first puzzle is that while direct incomes, job opportunities are better in the UAE than in Pakistan, nevertheless return migrants express dissatisfaction at varying but substantial degrees with their living conditions in the UAE due to hidden, not planned financial, social and emotional costs occurring during their stay. The second puzzle is that, though return migrants usually complain – often bitterly – about their UAE experience, nevertheless many return migrants hope to return to UAE if a new job opportunity is offered to them. Thus the paper using focus groups, individual interviews, quantitative analysis of survey answers and regression models what individual and/or household level mechanisms and factors play a crucial role in this mass return migration and its perception among migrants themselves?Copy editor: Ildikó Kaposi

Burnout merupakan fenomena yang bermula dari sebuah harapan besar untuk berbuat yang terbaik bagi orang lain. Tapi ketika terjadi hubungan yang “asimetris” antara da’i dan mad’u, bisa mengakibatkanterjadinya burnout yang nantinya melemahkan semangat dalam berdakwah. Meski demikian, tidak semua pendakwah mengalami burnout karena adanya perbedaan karakteristik individu, lingkungan kerja, dan keterlibatan emosional dengan jama’ah. Burnout dipicu oleh faktor eksternal dan bersifat akumulatif. Kondisi ini bisa disembuhkan tapi memerlukan waktu lama. Jika dibiarkan, dapat mengganggu kinerja dan tekanan bagi dirinya sendiri, orang terdekatnya serta jama’ah yang berinteraksi dengan da’i tersebut. Yang bertanggung jawab untuk menciptakan solusinya adalah diri sendiri, dengan didukung oleh keluarga atau teman.

Authors: Purwaningsih Sri
Published: September 2017

Abstract: Muhammad al-Ghazali is a controversial figure. Some give a positive appreciation to the method of hadith understanding he offered and regarded as a solutive method at the present day. But, other accused him as inkar al-sunnah and regarded his method was inapplicable. According to the author, some ideas of the reconstruction on the method of hadith understanding of Muhammad al-Ghazali still use a positivist paradigm that focuses on objectivity, while there are no objects without a subject. Therefore, in this paper, the author emphasizes the discussion on two points; first, criticizing the application of the method of hadith understanding of Muhammad al-Ghazali; and second, offering the new method of reconstruction using descriptive analysis and explanation method. The author examines the book of Muhammad al-Ghazali and other books that are the result of criticism of the researchers about him. The result, studying and understanding the hadiths requires a set of batiniyah in the form of consciousness and sincere intention, studying the authenticity of the hadith, structural and pragmatic analysis, and the reviewer must verify the results of intellectual activity comprehensively.Abstrak: Muhammad al-Ghazali merupakan tokoh kontroversial. Ada yang mem­berikan apresiasi positif atas metode pemahaman hadis yang ditawar­kan­nya yang dianggap solutif pada saat sekarang. Namun ada juga yang me­nuduh­nya sebagai inkar al-sunnah dan menilai metode yang ditawarkannya belum aplikatif. Menurut penulis, beberapa tawaran rekonstruksi terhadap metode pemahaman hadis Muhammad al-Ghazali masih menggunakan para­digma positivisme yang menitikberatkan pada objektivitas, padahal tidak ada objek tanpa subjek. Dalam tulisan ini, penulis menekankan dua pembahasan, yakni: mengkritik aplikasi metode pemahaman hadis Muhammad al-Ghazali; dan menawarkan bentuk rekonstruksi metode yang baru dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif dan penjelasan. Penulis mengkaji buku karya Muhammad al-Ghazali dan buku-buku lain yang merupakan hasil kritikan para peneliti terhadapnya. Hasilnya, di dalam mengkaji dan memahami hadis di­perlukan seperangkat batiniyah berupa kesadaran dan niat yang ikhlas, meng­kaji otentisitas hadis, analisis struktural dan pragmatik, dan pengkaji melakukan verifikasi terhadap hasil aktifitas intelektual (pemahaman) secara komprehensif.

This article is based on library research relating to the hadith literature dealing with Muh}ammad’s respond to the tradition of Arabic people. To make the research easier, the word “al-jāhiliyyah” will be used as an entry point to look for jāhiliyyah tradition. The are four important things can be noted to explain the response of Muh}ammad to the tradition of jāhiliyyah. The first, total accommodation. The second, total refuse or total correction. The third, particular accommodation. The fourth, synchronization and modification.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bermaksud mengkaji tentang dialog agama dan budaya; dalam hal ini dialog antara Nabi Muhammad dengan budaya masyarakat Arab jahiliyyah saat itu. Sebuah masyarakat, termasuk masyarakat Arab sebelum kedatangan Islam, bukanlah masyarakat yang steril dari pengaruh agama, adat istiadat, akhlak serta peraturan-peraturan hidup yang telah ada di kalangan mereka. Begitu Islam datang dengan segala norma yang ada di dalamnya, maka Islam menjadi filter bagi budaya, adat istiadat dan keyakinan yang sudah ada di kalangan masyarakat Aran pra Islam. Pertanyaannya adalah bagaimana respon Muh}ammad saw terhadap tradisi itu? Kajian ini didasarkan pada penelitian literatur  ḥadīth yang berisi respon Nabi terhadap tradisi masyarakat Arab saat itu. Untuk memudahkan pembahasan ini, kata “al-jāhiliyyah” digunakan sebagai entri point guna melacak hadis-hadis yang berkenaan dengan tema kajian ini. Ada empat temuan penting yang bisa dicatat berkenaan dengan respon Nabi terhadap tradisi jāhiliyyah. Pertama, tradisi yang secara utuh diakomodasi (total accomodation). Kedua, tradisi yang secara total ditolak atau total dikoreksi (total refuse or total correction). Ketiga, tradisi yang sebagiannya diadopsi tetapi sebagian yang lain ditolak  (particular accomodation). Keempat, tradisi yang secara prinsip tetap dilestarikan dengan sedikit modifikasi di sana-sini (sincronization and modification).

Published: September 2017

Este artigo se propõe a apresentar, de modo breve, as características epistemológicas de dois conceitos fundamentais que constituem o arcabouço teórico da Linguística Cognitiva, a saber: cognição, situando-o desde a perspectiva clássica, especificamente no paradigma gerativista de Chomsky, até o modelo ecológico, considerado extensão da perspectiva corporificada, fundamentada por Lakoff e Johnson (1980); e categorização, abordando-o desde as discussões incitadas por Aristóteles, perpassando pelas propostas de Wittgenstein (1953), Eleanor Rosch (1975) e Lakoff (1987) para, então, sugerir, a partir de uma visão geral da noção de frames trazida por Lakoff (2004) e Duque (2015), ideias que possam nos levar a pensar em um paradigma ecológico de categorização.

Published: September 2017

Este artigo tem como objetivo realizar um breve histórico das pesquisas sobre a verticalização das cidades, elencando as dimensões de análise existentes na abordagem dessa temática. Para tal fim, fez-se um levantamento das dissertações e teses existentes sobre o assunto nos bancos de dados da Capes, do Ibict, do CNPq, além da contribuiçãode artigos de autoria de Ramires (1998b) e Tows & Mendes (2011). Os resultados mostraram três momentos diferentes (década de 1980, década de 1990 e início do século XXI) dos estudos sobre a verticalização das cidades, no que tange a cidade estudada, a área da pós-graduação e a instituição onde foram defendidas as teses e as dissertações. Os resultados também demostraram que há sete dimensões de análise sobre a verticalização das cidades: temporal, espacial, técnica, ambiental, econômica, política e cultural. Por fim, propõe-se a necessidade que os estudos dessa temática foquem na dimensão cultural desse processo para crianças e adolescentes.

Increasing demands of reinforcement in the joint panel are now requiring more effective system to reduce the complicated fabrication by widely used precast system. The joint panel is responsible to keep the load transfer through beam and column as a crucial part in a structural frame that ensures the main feature of the whole structure during earthquake. Since precast system might reduce the joint panel monolithic integrity and stiffness, an innovation by adding fiber into the grouting system will give a breakthrough. The loading test of precast concrete beam-column joints using FRCC (Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites) in joint panel was conducted to evaluate the influences of fiber towards shear performance. The experimental factor is fiber types with same volume fraction in mortar matrix of joint panel. Two specimens with Aramid-fiber and PP-fiber by two percent of volume fraction are designed to fail by shear failure in joint panel by reversed cyclic testing method. The comparison amongst those experiment results by various parameters for the shear performance of FRCC beam-column joints using various fibers are discussed. Preceding specimens was using no fiber, PVA fiber, and steel fiber has been carried out. Through the current experimental results and the comparison with previous experiment results, it can be recognized that by using fibers in joint panel was observed qualitatively could prevent crack widening with equitable and smaller crack width, improved the shear capacity by widening the hysteretic area, increased maximum load in positive loading and negative loading, and decreased the deformation rate. Elastic modulus properties of fiber are observed to give the most impact towards shear performance.

Road investment appraisal requires joint consideration of multiple criteria which are related to engineering, economic, social and environmental impacts. The investment consideration could be based on the economic analysis but however for some factors, such as environmental, social, and political, are difficult to quantify in monetary term. The multi-criteria analysis is the alternative tool which caters the requirements of the issues above. The research, which is based on 102 class D and class E paved road sections in Kenya, is about to optimize road network investment under budget constraints by applying a multi-criteria analysis (MCA) method and compare it with the conventional economic analysis. The MCA is developed from hierarchy structure which is considered as the analytical framework. The framework is based on selected criteria and weights which are assigned from Kenya road policy. The HDM-4 software is applied as decision-making tool to obtain the best investment alternatives and road work programs from both MCA and economic analysis. The road work programs will be the results from the analysis using both MCA and economic analysis within HDM-4 software to see the difference and compare the results between both programs. The results from MCA show 51 road sections need periodic work, which is overlay or resealing. Meanwhile, 51 others need rehabilitation or reconstruction. The five years road work program which based on economic analysis result shows that it costs almost Kenyan Shilling (KES) 130 billion to maintain the class D and E paved road in Kenya. Meanwhile, the MCA only requires KES 59.5 billion for 5 years program. These results show huge margin between two analyses and somehow MCA result provides more efficient work program compared to economic analysis.
Flood Inundation Prediction of Logung River due to the Break of Logung Dam

Published: September 2017

The construction of Logung Dam in Kudus Regency is aimed to reduce the inundation area at downstream of Logung River, particularly during the rainy season. Besides, the potential water of Logung Dam is used for for irrigation and non-irrigation services. In order to mitigate the flood disaster that may arise in the downstream area, various preparedness should be established including the identification of flood hazard characteristics that may be caused by the break of the Logung Dam. This paper presents the results of Logung Dam break analysis using the levee pool routing model and the 2-D channel routing of the HEC-RAS 5.0 Version software. The initial value of breach parameter was calculated using the Froehlich’s equation, and variation of breaking times (1, 2, and 3 hours) were applied to study the generated hydrograph based on the corresponding elevation-storage curve. Furthermore, the simulation of channel routing at downstream of the dam was carried out in three different scenarios based on the bridges condition at downstream of the Logung Dam. Scenario 1 assumed that bridges will be safe enough against flood. Scenario 2 assumed that the bridges would only be safe at flood with return period lower than 20 years, whereas the scenario 3 assumed that bridges would be collapsed due to the flood at design flood with several return periods. The simulation results showed that the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) with peak discharge of 1,303.60 m3/s did not generate overtopping. The peak discharge through the dam body was 15,022 m3/s at the first 40 minutes. It took 7 hours and 30 minutes to decrease the water level of the reservoir from +95.2 m to +38 m. In scenario 2, the simulation used 20 years return period flood with velocity in cross section before the Bridge RS 3700 was 7.21 m/s and before Bridge RS 6800 was 5.72 m/s. Furthermore, the 2-D simulation results showed that at the near downstream of the Logung Dam, the maximum depth was 55 m and the maximum velocity was 39 m/s. Several prone areas to flood caused by the dam break are the villages at the left side of the downstream Logung River including Bulung Cangkring, Bulung Kulon, Sidomulyo, Pladen and Jekulo village.

Na perspectiva de esclarecer como os temas Alfabetização Científica (AC) e Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS) são tratados no Ensino de Ciências nas escolas, propôs-se uma aproximação junto aos professores dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental de um município gaúcho, pretendendo compreender as suas concepções sobre a AC e a abordagem CTS, ainda, buscando identificar como se configura as relações entre esses temas em suas atividades pedagógicas. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa qualitativa compreensivo-interpretativa, constituindo-se por uma amostra de 58 professores de escolas públicas municipais de Alegrete, RS. Os professores responderam a um questionário elaborado pelos pesquisadores. Pelos achados, notou-se que a grande maioria dos professores demonstra não conhecer o significado da AC e CTS, também, parte dos professores (68,96%) mencionaram que a abordagem CTS não foi contemplada na matriz curricular em seus cursos de formação inicial. E mais, que 96,56% dos professores relataram não possuir cursos ou pós-graduação que contemplassem as temáticas AC e CTS. Referindo-se de como se dá o trabalho docente na proposta da AC na abordagem CTS, verificou-se que grande parte deles apresentaram dificuldades para exemplificar como essa proposta pode ser trabalhada/abordada no ensino de Ciências nos Anos Iniciais por meio de suas atividades docentes. Além disso, a maioria deles relataram não estar preparados para abordar essa temática em suas práticas pedagógicas, bem como uma parte desses educadores (22,5%) descreveu não possuir conhecimento suficiente sobre as concepções do tema proposto. Em vista disso, percebendo existir uma carência ao aventar esse tema nos Anos Inicias do Ensino Fundamental, acredita-se que se devam propor estratégias e ações formativas aos professores, como cursos de capacitação, tornando-se uma ferramenta imprescindível para que profissionais da educação possam contribuir, com mais propriedade em suas atividades pedagógicas, a uma crescente qualidade no ensino de Ciências.
