Authors: Mujiburrohman Mujiburrohman , Miftahurohman Miftahurohman
Published: January 2025

This research is motivated by the existence of students who have poor morals, such as students who still like to come late, don't respect teachers, don't picket class, don't do daily tests independently and still don't care about their friends. The indicators of akhlakul karimah are respect for elders, discipline, honesty and generosity. The aim of this research is to find out how to instill moral values ​​at MI Sudirman Mundu Gondangrejo Special Program, Karanganyar. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research. Data collection methods use observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis and processing is taken from when the researcher is in the field and after collecting data from the field. The results of the research concluded that the instilling of students' moral values ​​in the MI Sudirman Mundu Special Program was good. After efforts to instill good morals in students, the children's attitudes have begun to change. Students begin to respect the teacher, are disciplined, honest and care about their friends. Instilling morals in students is carried out by being a role model, providing advice, habituation, and providing a deterrent effect. The factors that influence the cultivation of students' morals are divided into 2 supporting factors, namely IMTAQ habits which are carried out every day and cooperation between fellow teachers in developing students' morals. The inhibiting factors are students' lack of awareness of good morals, lack of attention from parents, and the community environment, especially the social environment. The solutions used by teachers to overcome obstacles in instilling moral values ​​in students are providing advice, actively maintaining good relationships with parents/guardians of students and teachers always collaborating with other teachers.

Peaks over Threshold Approach with a time-varying scale parameter and range-based volatility estimator for Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall estimation
Authors: Fałdziński Marcin
Published: January 2025

Exploiting daily high-low range has become increasingly popular among volatility models due to valuable information about volatility dynamics. It has been shown in the literature that range-based volatility estimators can improve volatility and covariance forecasts, and thus models that use high and low prices can outperform standard volatility models based on closing prices solely. This paper incorporates a range-based volatility estimator in an extreme value theory framework to provide better estimates of the tails of daily asset returns. We introduce the Peaks over Threshold model with a range-based volatility estimator depicting the volatility of extreme returns that can contribute to more accurate tail risk estimation. We evaluate the proposed model based on the Monte Carlo simulation and long-period sample of the empirical financial time series by forecasting the Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall. We provide evidence that the proposed model can lead to better risk measure forecasts, especially for high tail probabilities.

Authors: Ratna Dewi Liza Dwi
Published: January 2025

This research critically examines Presidential Regulation No. 87 of 2021, which addresses the accelerated development of the Rebana region in Indonesia. Using Louis Althusser's concept of interpellation and Friedrich Hayek's critique of collectivism, the study explores the ideological and structural frameworks embedded in the regulation. The analysis reveals a centralization of power favoring investors, as evident in the prioritization of infrastructure development and minimal attention to community welfare. While the regulation is justified under Article 4, Section 1 of the Indonesian Constitution, it neglects Article 33, which emphasizes economic equity and collective prosperity.Methodologically, the study combines critical textual analysis with qualitative case studies, focusing on community responses in Jatiwangi, a historically significant area within the Rebana region. Findings highlight a significant power imbalance, with communities coerced into industrial conformity, undermining their traditional livelihoods and cultural heritage. Resistance movements, such as the Jatiwangi Festival, illustrate local efforts to reclaim autonomy and advocate for sustainable development. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for economic planning grounded in Pancasila's humanistic philosophy, ensuring equitable development and community participation. It critiques centralized, investor-centric approaches and advocates for a balanced policy framework that respects individual rights and local agency.

Published: January 2025

Traditionally, informal occurrences like religion and practices like cultures may have been identified as the causes of gender inequality in economic and leadership opportunities in Uganda and Africa at large. These gender imbalances may have through these practices, operated to the advantages and disadvantages of genders, before the advent of Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals SDGs, which heightened the gender equality campaign. Uganda, beginning with the 1995 Constitution and other enabling laws made on that authority, together with case laws, has progressively corrected and achieved the SDG targets of economic and leadership advantage on women even to the disadvantage of the male gender. While legislations with perceived imbalances considered discriminatory to the female gender have been amended, or even nullified, those considered discriminatory to the male gender have not received such heightened attention. Adopting the doctrinal methodology, appraising Uganda legal framework on gender issues; like the constitution, statutes, and judicial decisions, this work argues that Uganda has created equal opportunities for both genders and even surpassed same to the manifest disadvantage of the male gender. The paper concludes by stating that economic and political gender imbalance has been greatly reformed by the formal legal sector in Uganda, creating equality of opportunities; the paper argues that gender gaps may exist which do not translate to inequality. The paper commends Uganda for the legislative intervention and recommends the legislative model to other African countries.
Towards attaining self-sufficiency in organ transplantation: A comparative study of the Ugandan and Nigerian legal framework
Authors:   Faculty of Law, Madonna University Okija, Anambra State, Nigeria., Ifeoma Chisomaga Korie
Published: January 2025

The WHO, the Declaration of Istanbul, the Council of Europe and now the AU has made several calls in previous years for nations to achieve self-sufficiency in the provision of viable organs for organ transplantation in healthcare. To this end, Nigeria enacted the National Health Act to regulate organ transplantation in 2014 and subsequently, on the 30th of May 2023, Uganda passed the Human Organ and Transplant Bill into an Act. This commendable act illustrates Africa’s willingness to attain self-sufficiency in healthcare. Self-sufficiency is attainable both at the national and regional levels. For both countries, self-sufficiency curbs the problems of organ trafficking, transplant tourism and organ trade. This research work highlights the steps Africa is taking to provide viable organs for organ transplantation by comparing the Ugandan Act (East Africa) and the Nigerian Act (West Africa). To achieve its objective of determining self–sufficiency in Africa, the research employs a doctrinal approach. As part of its findings, the research discovers that despite the duplicity of sections in Ugandan Act, Uganda is on track in achieving self-sufficiency in organ transplantation, while Nigeria is not. It recommends that Uganda expand its organ supply by incorporating the opt-out donor system while Nigeria incorporates the opt-in donor system to avoid abuses.
The proof of criminal allegation in election petitions: A critique of the traditional approach
Authors:   Faculty of Law, Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria, Othuke Amata Aso
Published: January 2025

One of the evidential issues in election petitions is the requirement that criminal allegations be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Ostensibly, the position of the Nigerian judiciary stems from the provisions of the Evidence Act, which relates to the standard of proof in civil or criminal cases. Using analytical research, with data sourced from a review of decided cases, the paper sought to interrogate the issues surrounding the application of the status quo - proof beyond a reasonable doubt to an election petition and the herculean evidential burden on a petitioner to prove. The paper critiques the traditional approach of applying the criminal standard of proof to election petitions and argues for a lower standard based on the preponderance of evidence to allow for judicious determination of election disputes filed at the election tribunals. In conclusion, the paper argued for re-evaluating the traditional approach to proving criminal allegations in election petitions. It advocated for reforms that enhance electoral justice, explicitly providing that the standard of proof applicable to an election petition is the preponderance of evidence.

The development and growth of ai in uganda: How is uganda faring from a legal perspective?
Authors:   School of Law, Kampala International University, Kampala Uganda, Azeez Yusuf Abdul , Mukasa Charles , Muyinga Samuel , Bello Abdullahi , Lukoma Ronald
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the development and growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Uganda by highlighting how Uganda is faring from a legal perspective. AI as a branch of computer science, aims to create machines that mimic human intelligence. It involves the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that often require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, language interpretation, and simulation of human abilities. It has been argued that Uganda's legal and regulatory environment for AI is undeveloped and still evolving to address the progressing aspects of AI. While Uganda does not have an all-inclusive legal framework specifically enacted for AI, it should be noted that many laws and regulations are already in place from which we can make inferences applicable to a few aspects of AI, such as the need for data and privacy protection, cyber security and protection of intellectual property, as can be garnered from some of the existing Ugandan relevant statutes. One of the findings of this paper, however, affirms that Uganda lacks specific laws that address AI ethics, liability, and accountability. This deficit in the legal framework of Uganda poses challenges, specifically about the ethical application of AI and the protection of human rights. The paper concludes with the recommendation that strengthening the legal and regulatory framework is vital to ensuring that AI is developed and used responsibly through the enactment of specific AI laws that will address the concerns of ethics, liability, and governance.
A comparative study on the long-term effects of music and sports activities on cognitive skills of children
Authors: Manikantan Sripradha , Lulla Roshni
Published: January 2025

Learning music and engaging in sports have both been shown to develop cognitive skills in young children. With the rising incidence of learning disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and dyslexia, in young children, understanding the impact of music and sports on cognitive skills in the developing brain is imperative. Our study aims to shed light on this topic by comparing three groups of children – those who learn music, those who practice sports, and those who don’t participate in either activity. We hypothesized a positive correlation between music and nonverbal cognitive skills and similarly between sports and verbal cognitive skills. Our dataset comprises the scores of Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) to measure overall cognitive, nonverbal, and verbal elements of working memory. Analysis of this dataset reveals that students who participated in music performed better in tests assessing nonverbal intelligence, while children engaged in sports activities performed better in tests assessing verbal intelligence. Our results suggest that children who participate in music may show increased activity of the parietal cortex, which is responsible for nonverbal tasks, while children who participate in sports may show increased activity of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for verbal tasks. Collectively, our results recommend music learning to improve math and mental manipulations for children with nonverbal disorders. Also, our results recommend sports participation to improve reading comprehension for children with verbal disorders. Future research with increased sample size is proposed for a better estimation of the WASI tests scores.

The Relationship between Parents’ Righteousness and Children’s Happiness in Light of the Holy Qur’an: An Inductive Qur’anic Study
Authors: Farsi Faisal
Published: January 2025

There have been many studies that discuss the righteousness of children and Islamic upbringing; this research has mentioned the most important role models, which are the righteous parents, because with their righteousness comes the righteousness of children, their good provision, and their protection from the evils of this world and the torment of the hereafter, with evidence from the Holy Book. In this research, I have shown that righteous parents are among the children's blessings in this world, and the elevation of their ranks on the Day of Resurrection; as the Holy Quran mentioned a story about them; and warning children from the temptation of Satan as he did to our father Adam, and set up enmity for him and his offspring after him.
I have reached results that I mention as follows:
- The responsibility of raising and caring for children is entrusted to the parents in the first place, and it is a complete responsibility that is possible and feasible, while human protection towards children is a limited responsibility and a relative and specific protection related to the limited ability of man, his life and his ability.
- The righteousness of parents is an authentic origin in the righteousness of children after the grace of Allah Almighty, as every newborn is born with the fitrah; his parents either reform him or corrupt him.
- The righteousness of parents, while they provide the means of righteousness for their offspring, does not require the protection of Allah Almighty at all; guidance and success are in the hands of Allah Almighty, and fate may precede the lack of guidance of children, so the disbelieving son comes out of the righteous father - because he chose misguidance - and the righteous son may come out of the disbelieving father, so guidance of the heart is by the success of Allah Almighty, and He is above all things.
- One of the forms of Allah Almighty’s protection of offspring is the protection of their deeds and wealth, and the legislation of what requires their protection, especially when they are in their weakest state.

Tradicinės hermeneutikos, Algio Mickūno tryliktoji hermeneutika, o kas toliau?
Authors: Juzefovič Agnieška
Published: January 2025

Šiame straipsnyje pristatomi, analizuojami ir pratęsiami Algio Mickūno hermeneutikos tyrimai: apžvelgiamos tradicinės hermeneutinės prieigos ir plačiau aptariama tryliktoji hermeneutika, gebanti peržengti ir išsaugoti nagrinėjamų tekstų kintamumą, išryškinamas jos nepakankamumas suvokiant kinų mąstymo tradicijas. Svarstoma, kas trukdo suprasti visiškai kitoniškas kinų mąstymo tradicijas, ir ieškoma joms adekvačiausių hermeneutinių prieigų, kurios apibūdinamos kaip keturioliktoji hermeneutika. Ieškant hermeneutinių prieigų, tinkamiausių tarpkultūrinei komunikacijai, atskleidžiama, kaip laike ir erdvėje nutolusiose kultūrose persipina skirtingos plotmės, o paskirose kultūrose įsitvirtinusios interpretacijos remiasi kitoms epochoms ir kultūroms būdingais supratimo būdais ir hermeneutiniais modeliais. Svarstoma, kodėl dėl tokių kinų mąstymo tradicijų bruožų, kaip jos vientisumas, subjekto ir objekto skirties nebuvimas, tradicionalizmas, Vakarų interpretatoriams kyla supratimo keblumų. Apibendrinama, kad, nepaisant įvairių skirtumų, vaisinga abipusė komunikacija tarp Vakarų ir kinų mąstymo tradicijų yra įmanoma, o kai kuriais aspektais iš šalies žvelgiantis Vakarų tyrėjas supratimo požiūriu yra netgi palankesnėje pozicijoje.

Published: January 2025

El documento recoge un fascinante relato sobre las prácticas pesqueras en Sinaloa entre los siglos XVI al XVIII, basándose en crónicas de soldados, misioneros y cronistas que convivieron con las comunidades indígenas. Estas narraciones revelan una actividad pesquera que trasciende lo meramente económico, describiendo un arte altamente desarrollado, íntimamente ligado a la cosmovisión y espiritualidad de los pueblos originarios. Los indígenas utilizaban ingeniosas técnicas de pesca, como redes, fisgas, anzuelos y venenos naturales, evidenciando un conocimiento profundo de los ecosistemas marinos y fluviales. Además, su vínculo con los dioses del agua y los rituales asociados a la pesca subraya la dimensión cultural de esta actividad, que integraba religión, subsistencia y sostenibilidad.Con la llegada de los colonizadores, se produjo un intercambio cultural que introdujo nuevas herramientas y estructuras, fomentando una transición hacia una pesca comercial. Sin embargo, el legado indígena, basado en prácticas respetuosas con la naturaleza, se mantuvo vigente, demostrando su eficacia y sostenibilidad. El documento también destaca la extraordinaria biodiversidad de la región, que incluía especies como el pez espada, manatíes y tortugas, siendo esenciales tanto para la dieta como para la economía local. Este legado histórico no solo enriquece la identidad cultural de Sinaloa, sino que inspira reflexiones actuales sobre la conservación de los recursos naturales y la sostenibilidad en las pesquerías.

Inmates in correctional institutions undergo rehabilitation programs that include the development of skills deemed crucial for their lives after being released from prison. Each prisoner is entitled to receive wages or recognition for the efforts they have put into the work they perform. This study focuses on the regulation of rewards for inmates working in correctional facilities, as well as an evaluation of the fairness aspect in their distribution. The study adopts a normative legal analysis approach, utilizing primary legal sources such as laws and government regulations, as well as additional references discussing inmates’ rights in correctional institutions, particularly those related to the payment system for the work they perform. The study finds that the regulations governing inmates’ rights, including those related to wage distribution, are outlined in Article 14 of Law No. 12 of 1995, Government Regulation No. 32 of 1999, and the Minister of Justice Decree No. M.01-PP.02.01 of 1990. From the researcher’s perspective, the distribution of rewards aligns with the principle of fairness because, in addition to receiving rewards, inmates also receive valuable skill training for their future after leaving the correctional institution.

The purpose of this study is a reflect the phenomenon, where since the introduction of Islamic banking in 1991, the Islamic economy has grown rapidly. Various service products have been issued by Islamic banks and other financial institutions that facilitate these services by listing various fatwas of the National Sharia Council - Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI). So the question arises how is the application of the Hadith on Accounts Receivable and its Implementation on Bank Guarantees? This research method is qualitative by taking data from review literature that is compromised with field facts that take the object of research on bank guarantees. The results of the study concluded that one of the sharia banking services is the Sharia Bank Guarantee with a kafalah fatwa as its sharia legality issued by DSN MUI No: 11/DSN-MUI/IV/2000. The contract used is a kafalah bil ujrah contract, which is a guarantee transaction provided by a bank in exchange for wages, but this contract is a contract that is controversial in terms of the legality of the arguments described by DSN-MUI and the arguments of other parties who prohibit it because it resembles the qardh contract that takes the benefits of usury, which of course requires offering contract options that can be done to get out of the controversy.
