Authors: Akter Ferdousi
Published: May 2024

This research delves into Anita Desai's literary exploration of the feminine identity crisis, examining how her novels depict women's battles against societal and familial restrictions. Through an intersectional feminist perspective, Desai's works, including Fire on the Mountain, Cry the Peacock, and Voices in the City, are analyzed to reveal the enduring perception of women's inferiority and their roles as sacrificial figures within the family structure. Employing a descriptive methodology and drawing from primary sources and socio-psychological frameworks, this study interprets Desai's portrayal of women's struggles for autonomy amidst societal pressures. Through thematic exploration and character analysis, it uncovers the nuances of female experiences, their quest for identity, and the entrenched influence of patriarchal norms. Ultimately, the research illuminates Desai's depiction of women's resilience and their journey toward emancipation in the face of systemic oppression.

Therefore, ecotourism has therefore been identified as a vital regional approach for harmonizing economic growth and conservation. Thus, the study empirically evaluates the current state of ecotourism in Oke Idanre hills in Idanre Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria. Primary and secondary data were collected and sourced with the aid of questionnaire and scheduled Interviews. The data involved qualitative analysis using descriptive statistics. The results revealed that although ecotourism is still at an early stage, some socioeconomic benefits for the Idanre community exist such as the employment of locals as tourist guides and other investments as a result of this destination. The finding shows the use and access of resources by the locals in the Idanre community as logging and poaching have become the order of the day. Also, Idanre locals have had to cope with reduced access to some parts of the hills especially during the day since the site was listed by UNESCO as a world heritage site. The dilapidated site resort has brought about revenue loss to the community. The site offers rich cultural artefacts and a tour guide is usually attached to educate the tourists. Hence this study is necessary to ascertain the current state of ecotourism in Idanre hills looking from the community perspective, the practices, administration, and management of Idanre hills, also recommendations offered are centered on the study of the findings.

Published: May 2024

Nowadays, many people use technology rather than using their energy. In Indonesia, many people also use technology as a tool to make work easier. This is because many people think that carrying out work manually wastes too much time and energy. Like distributing charity boxes. Usually, charity boxes in mosques are circulated by being distributed from one person to the person next to them, and so on. This can drain energy, especially for elderly congregants. To overcome this, we came up with an idea to develop a smart charity box robot that can walk on its own with the help of lines. With this smart charity box robot, it is also hoped that it can create comfort for mosque congregations in terms of distributing charity boxes, namely how smart charity boxes can work automatically. The aim of this research is that by developing this robot, it is hoped that it will make it easier for mosque congregations to move charity boxes, which are usually transferred from one person to another. The research method used is research and development (R&D) with 9 stages, namely, 1) potential and problems, 2) data collection, 3) product design, 4) design validation, 5) design revision, 6) trial product, 7) product revision, 8) trial use, 9) product revision.

Published: May 2024

This paper examines the political stability, corruption, and economic progress of the nations that make up the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) between 2000 and 2020. To prevent misspecification bias and therefore skewed statistical results, the common features of the panel data were examined first. First of all, the CD test did not find any evidence of cross-sectional dependency across the nations, validating the use of the conventional panel unit root, which does not account for cross-sectional dependence. According to Levin et al. (2002)'s panel unit root test, the variables are integrated of order zero, or I (0).Using the panel VAR framework as a basis, the paper investigates. Emotional intelligence data demonstrated that while corruption impedes regional economic growth, political stability and the rule of law foster it. According to the findings of variance decomposition, the factors under investigation either support or impede the WAMZ countries' economic development. Based on the results the paper recommends that, transparency and accountability at all level of government affairs as well as respecting the constitution in these nations should be preserved in order to overcome all social and political injustice among the countries under study.

Verursacht wird diese Differenz durch Faktoren wie die demografische Alterung der Versichertengemeinschaft, der medizinisch-technischen Fortschritt und die steigenden Lohnkosten aufgrund des Fachkräftemangels. Berechnungen zufolge führt dies letztendlich zu einem zusätzlichen Finanzbedarf von 11,25 Mrd. EUR im Jahr 2024 und 15,22 Mrd. EUR im Jahr 2025. Um diesen Bedarf zu decken, werden die folgenden Ansätze diskutiert: Vollfinanzierung versicherungsfremder Leistungen durch einen entsprechend hohen Bundeszuschuss, Anhebung der Beitragsbemessungsgrenze (BBG) der GKV auf das Niveau der Rentenversicherung und die Einführung kostendeckender Zusatzbeitragssätze.

The approach used in this research is qualitative with a literature review method through the search for primary and secondary information from various sources of books, articles, and the internet. The results of the study show that Buddhayana has successfully integrated local elements in its religious traditions, creating a unique form of Buddhism that suits the Indonesian social and cultural environment. This has been a positive contribution to interfaith harmony in Indonesia, providing a positive example of how different faiths can coexist peacefully. Buddhayana reinforces the notion of Indonesian diversity, reminding us of the importance of diverse religious cultures. Therefore, it is important to continue promoting the values of non-sectarianism and harmony so that Buddhayana and other religions remain agents of diversity in Indonesia. Buddhism in Indonesia is a successful example of interfaith harmony and religious adaptability in cultural diversity. Hopefully, the results of this research help to understand and appreciate the role of Buddhism in maintaining diversity and interfaith harmony in Indonesia and offer valuable insights into future challenges and opportunities

The concept of kaly namitta, or good friend, is a very important part of Buddhist teachings. Two classic texts in the Buddhist canon, Sigalovada Sutta and Visuddhimagga, highlight the different but no less important role of kaly namitta in the spiritual development of a person. In Sigalovada Sutta, kaly namitta is described as a true friend who influences individual moral progress in everyday life. Sigalovada, the main character in the sutta, was instructed by the Buddha about the importance of choosing friends wisely, who would support the individual in developing good behavior and morality. Visuddhimagga emphasizes Kalyanamitta's role as a meditation teacher. In this context, Kalyanamitta acts as a spiritual guide who guides a person's meditation practice to inner peace and a deeper understanding of true reality. The meditation teacher in the Visuddhimagga is seen as a figure who holds a crucial role in the spiritual journey of a practitioner, guiding them through the various stages of meditation towards enlightenment. The differences in the emphasis on the role of Kalyanamitta in both texts describe different contexts and purposes in the teachings of Buddhism. Sigalovada Sutta emphasizes the importance of true friends in everyday life and their relationship with moral progress, while Visuddhimagga highlights the role of a meditation teacher in a person's spiritual development. However, these two concepts complement each other in one's attempt to a deeper enlightenment and understanding of Dhamma.This study uses a library study method with a Buddhist approach to analyze the differences between the concepts of kaly namitta in the two texts. The results confirm the importance of a proper understanding of these differences to avoid misunderstandings and deepen the depths of Buddhism.
The Dichotomy of Ekāyana in the Satipaṭṭhānasutta: Inclusive or Exclusive Meaning
Authors: Irawan Dedy
Published: May 2024

This paper presents the ambiguity of the term ekāyana in the Satipaṭṭhānasutta in the light of inclusivism and exclusivism perspectives. Ekāyana is a familiar term in Buddhist Studies and Satipaṭṭhānasutta is a well well-known text in the Theravada insight meditation cycle. Ekāyana can be rendered in various ways according to the subjectivity and interpretation of each translator; thus, the term is ambiguous. This paper highlights the problem of Buddhist translation studies through analytical studies on several translations of the term. According to comparative analytical studies on different translations of ekāyana in the Satipaṭṭhānasutta, the researcher finds that interpretivism in translation is inevitable because finding the real meaning of a Buddhist term is an impossible task. Understandably, a translator of Buddhist texts imposes his interpretations when translating from ancient times until the present.
