Religious Education at Higher Education in the Era of De-Religionization: Generation Z and Spirituality Education
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Study of Religious Education, Lee Joung Chul
Published: January 2024

[Objective] The religious population of the Korean Peninsula had steadily increased over the past century. However, this trend completely changed in the early 2000s, and since then, the phenomenon of de-religionization has continued. The purpose of this study is to examine what kind of religious education in colleges and universities is needed for Generation Z in South Korea in this era of de-religionization.
[Contents] This study first provides an overview of the de-religionization phenomenon in Korea. Then, it presents an analysis of the Varkey Foundation's survey results to compare Generation Z in Korea with Generation Z interviewed in other 19 countries. Based on this analysis, the author proposes and discusses ‘spirituality education’ as the type of religious education currently needed and effective for the present generation.
[Conclusions] This study defines spirituality as more inclusive than religiosity, and suggests that spirituality education can ultimately be a form of religious education that restores the deeper nature of religion, helping students to avoid feeling obligated or pressured to connect their religiosity to an institutionalized religion, while at the same time allowing them to rediscover their hidden religiosity and nurture it.
The Role and Task of Confucian Education in the Metaverse during the Age of De-Religionization: Focusing on Zhuzi
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Study of Religious Education, Shin Changho , Han Jiyoon
Published: January 2024

[Objective] The purpose of this study is to promote Confucianism activities in the metaverse in an era of non-religion, given the high proportion of non-religious individuals in the MZ generation who are actively involved in the metaverse. It also aims to examine whether Confucianism activities in the metaverse play a religious role in adhering to metaverse ethical principles at a time when metaverse ethical issues are increasing.
[Contents] This study proposes the virtue of Confucianism as an alternative to solve the problem of not adhering to metaverse ethical principles due to the lack of legal enforcement. Zhuzi’s self-discipline, which voluntarily adheres to rules by possessing virtue, becomes the foundation of individual education that cultivates a gentleman avatar who realizes why they should adhere to ethical principles after seeing actions that violate them. Governing the World becomes the foundation of community education that makes one imitate a gentleman avatar who adheres to ethical principles while predicting what happens when ethical principles are violated.
[Conclusions] Confucianism, which brings about virtuous customs through Rule by Virtue, can play a role in solving the problem of not adhering to metaverse ethical principles. Therefore, the author sees that Confucianism is inevitably required in an era of non-religion.
A look into the Phenomenon of Multi-religious Culture in Korea
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Study of Religious Education, Lee Jijoong
Published: January 2024

[Objective] This paper intends to introduce how Korea's multi-religious culture coexists, focusing on several examples. In this way, we could look the clues that can solve the conflict and friction inter religions in Korean society. And as a solution, I would like to raise the need for religious education to respect differences between religions.
[Contents] Korean society is a multi-religious coexistence society that is difficult to see in the world religious history. According to the 2021 Korea Research Survey, Protestants accounted for 20% of the total population, 17% Buddhists, and 11% Catholics, and 50% of the total population has no religion. This phenomenon is also common among Korean family members. In this way, Korea can be said to be a model for a modern multi-religious society. The reason for this phenomenon can be explained as follows. First, the religious composition of Koreans, second, those religions are undergoing a process of secularization, and third, freedom of religion. However, even in Korean society, there are serious conflicts and strife between religions. And this conflict also exists among family members. Then, how can Korean society continue to have an order of religious coexistence?
[Conclusions] I believe that religions in our society should continue to have dialogue to understand each other. In addition, I believe that the order of religious coexistence can be solved by teaching religious education in public education. This is to enable the next generation to have the eyes of religious literacy. Finding such an order is very important for atheists who make up 50% of the Korean population and for finding the key to resolving religious conflicts in the global society.
Pedagogical Implications of Zhuangzi’s Concept of Virtue
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Study of Religious Education, Lee Kyungim , Kim Yeongjoo
Published: January 2024

[Objective] The purpose of this study is to discuss what Zhuangzi's concept of virtue aims for and what pedagogical implications it has.
[Contents] This study started from the question, “What is virtue, and do all humans have virtue?” The reason why Tao, which is the operating principle of all things in heaven and earth, was inherent in humans under the name of virtue was confirmed through『Zhuangzi』In this process, it was confirmed that all human beings possess virtue by confirming that even those who lack externally and those in lowly status clearly maintain virtue and, on the contrary, are beings who provide enlightenment to those in power. Zhuangzi suggests honing one's skills as a training method to restore one's true nature. This is because manifesting virtue and recovering one's true nature is possible when one is faithful to one's given role in daily life.
[Conclusions] The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, it was confirmed that Zhuangzi's virtue is the source of all things in heaven and earth, and that Tao, the operating principle of the universe, is inherent in each individual human being. Second, it was confirmed that virtue is something that all humans possess. Third, It was confirmed that virtue is expressed in faithfulness to daily life.

Published: January 2024

Within the framework of Bandung's textile industry, this study explores the intricate relationships that exist between social effect, product quality, and sustainable economic success. The survey included a sample of 150 companies with a range of product specializations and sizes. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling, measurement model assessment, discriminant validity analysis, and structural model analysis were carried out (PLS-SEM). Product quality, social impact, and sustainable business growth were found to be significantly positively correlated. The results also confirmed discriminant validity among the latent constructs and showed strong reliability and validity of the measurement model. The suggested structural equation model's applicability is highlighted by the model fit evaluation. It can be shown from the R-Square and Adjusted R-Square values that the model can account for almost half of the variation in sustainable business growth. Future research directions are suggested, and implications for corporations and policy makers are examined.

This study assessed the causes of under-five (U5) deaths and examined the associated risk factors in northern Ghana. The study analyzed prospectively collected longitudinal data of children born between 1st January 2007 and 31st December 2012 and resident in the Navrongo Health and Demographic Surveillance System (NHDSS) area in northern Ghana. Data from 20,651 children were analyzed with 1,056 under-five deaths and 51,783 person-years of observation. The overall mortality rate was 19.5 per 1000 person-years of observation. The main cause of under-five deaths was malaria (19.5%). Being male (Hazards ratio [95% CI]; 1.20 [1.06 - 1.36]; p=0.004), children born to single mothers (1.3 [1.18 - 1.59]; p<0.001) and home deliveries (1.29 [1.12 - 1.48]; p<0.001) were associated with increased risk of mortality. Children born to women aged 20-34 years (0.81 [0.67 – 0.98]; p=0.0.25) were associated with relatively lower risk of death compared to those born to women aged 19 years and below. Children from high socioeconomic households had relatively lower risk of death even though not statistically significant (0.87 [0.74 - 1.03]; p=0.056). Malaria remains the leading cause of under-five deaths in the study area. Adherence to prevailing malaria prevention measures including use of insecticide treated bed-nets, seasonal chemo-prophylaxis, indoor-residual spraying and adequate access to healthcare will greatly improve child survival.

Authors: Barišić Anto
Published: January 2024

U radu istražujemo i prikazujemo dosad neistraženu temu kulturnog stvaralaštva u području hrvatskog jezika istaknutog hrvatskog teologa, mislioca, kulturnog pregaoca, kapucinskog redovnika, prezbitera, profesora i dekana Katoličkog bogoslovnog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu Tomislava Janka Šagi-Bunića. Naše istraživanje obuhvaća razdoblje od njegovih đačkih i gimnazijskih dana, točnije od ljeta 1934. pa sve do 1989. godine. Podnaslov za ovaj rad posudili smo od Šagi-Bunića koji riječi iz podnaslova našeg rada koristi u jednom „maratonskom“ pismu od 19 gusto pisanih strojopisnih stranica koje je uputio svom redovničkom subratu prof. dr. Hadrijanu Boraku u Rim 9.–10. lipnja 1958. godine. Upravo su nam te njegove misli iz toga pisma poslužile kao inspiracija za istraživanje i proučavanje njegova odnosa prema hrvatskom jeziku. U tom istraživanju krenut ćemo od njegovih đačkih i gimnazijskih svjedodžbi, zatim korespondencije koju je kroz dugi niz godina imao s Hadrijanom Borakom koji je tada živio i djelovao u Rimu, u Italiji. Nakon toga posegnut ćemo za njegovom prevodilačkom aktivnošću liturgijskih tekstova koje prevodi s latinskog na hrvatski jezik u jeku liturgijske obnove nakon završetka II. vatikanskog koncila 1965. godine. I naposljetku njegov odnos prema hrvatskom jeziku pratimo i preko njegovih javnih istupa u tadašnjem socijalističkom i komunističkom hrvatskom društvu tijekom rasprava o položaju hrvatskog književnog jezika u tadašnjoj višejezičnoj i višenarodnoj državnoj tvorevini u kojoj se tada nalazila današnja Republika Hrvatska.
Poimanje
Boga u odabranoj poeziji Ivana Goluba
Authors: Sesar Tea
Published: January 2024

U radu se na odabranom korpusu pjesama Ivana Goluba analizira autorovo shvaćanje mnogostrukosti Božje pojavnosti u ljudskom životu. Autorica u promatranome pjesničkom opusu pronalazi argumente za trostruku tipologiju, točnije za izdvajanje triju Božanskih lica: Boga koji je prisutan, Boga koji se igra i Boga koji se smije. Navedenim se trima predodžbama Boga Golubova pjesničkog subjekta te njihovim interpretacijama bavi ovaj rad. Također, te je pojavnosti moguće implicitno iščitati u trima aspektima koji se realiziraju bilo na formalnom planu, bilo na planu sadržaja ili u osjećaju atmosfere pojedine pjesme. Na prvom se mjestu očituje mogućnost dijaloške pozicije koju Učitelj dopušta učeniku, tj. u omogućavanju preispitivanja i promišljanja Božjeg autoriteta u odnosu na ljudsku slobodu uz pomoć uma. Drugi aspekt predstavljaju mogućnosti izbora koje ljudi imaju dok nose svoj križ što je vidljivo u Golubovoj jednostavnosti pjesničkog izraza. U njoj je skrivena duboka mistika koja započinje susretom. Pri tomu se Golub opredjeljuje za vedru simboliku i najsitnijih detalja pa će se upozoriti i na očitovanje dječjeg habitusa Golubova diskursa. Treća interpretacijska perspektiva promatra naročitu ulogu koju Golub daje šutnji i samoći u ljudskom životu jer su one za njega jednako važne kao razgovor, bilo s Bogom, bilo s ljudima. Za zaključiti je da su dijalog, vedrina i kontemplativna šutnja darovi koje Bog nudi u Golubovom umjetničkom djelu kao upute za čitatelja vjernika. Kratko će se naznačiti i povezanost navedenih pjesničkih strategija s Golubovom filozofskom mišlju, no podrobnija razrada ostavljena je za drugu prigodu.
Heinrich Popitz Düşüncesinde Şiddet ve Beden
Authors: AYTEKİN Hüsnü Yavuz
Published: January 2024

Şiddet, antik çağlardan beri felsefenin konusu olmuştur. Bununla birlikte 20. ve 21. yüzyıllar şiddet kavramı üzerine müstakil eserlerin yayınlandığı dönemler olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Şiddet, birçok disiplinde olduğu gibi felsefede de uzun tartışmalara neden olmuştur. Bu tartışmalar İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasında, özellikle kıta felsefesinde yoğunluk kazanmıştır. Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt ve Giorgio Agamben gibi isimler akademik tartışmalarda daha çok bilinirken, Heinrich Popitz gibi düşünürler Almanca konuşulan dünya dışında nispeten daha az tanınmaktadır. Bunun nedenlerinden biri Popitz'in bir sosyolog olarak tanınması, diğeri ise yazma tarzıdır. Popitz, ailesinin tarihinde çok yaygın olan somut şiddet olaylarına çok fazla odaklanmak yerine, şiddet ve iktidar hakkında bazı antropolojik ilkeler belirlemeye çalışmaktadır. İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası döneminin bir akademisyeni olmasına ve Arendt ile aynı zaman diliminde yazmasına rağmen, eserlerine soğukkanlı bir hava hâkimdir. Tüm bu nedenlerle Popitz'in düşünce ve kavramlarının başka dillerde ve ülkelerde incelenmesi şiddet tartışmalarına katkı sağlayacaktır. Bu makalede Popitz'in şiddet kavramını nasıl tanımladığı açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Türkiye'deki şiddet tartışmalarına bir katkı sağlanması amaçlanmıştır.
A Study on the Characteristics of Self-Propulsion Factors of Planing Craft with Outboard Engine
Authors: Katayama Toru , Nishihara Yoshitaka , Sato Takuya
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to develop a method to estimate propulsive performance for planing craft with outboard engines. In order to understand the characteristics of this form of propulsion, a fully captive model test system with propulsion was developed and tested. And the effects of the changes in hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on hull due to the interaction with the lower-hull of the outboard engine and its propeller, as well as the effective wake fraction and the relative rotative efficiency, is presented. Based on the experimental results, an estimation method is proposed. By using the proposed method, running attitude (or trim and rise), thrust (or THP; Thrust Horse Power), crank shaft torque (or BHP; Braking Horse Power), maximum forward speed and fuel consumption of a real craft are estimated. It was found that the effective wake fraction and the relative rotative efficiency have significant impact on the estimate of maximum forward speed of the craft.
An Experimental Analysis of the Effects of Steps on High Speed Planning Boats
Authors: White Gregory J. , Beaver William E. , Vann David N.
Published: January 2024

The hard chine, deep-vee hull form has been used in a wide variety of commercial and naval applications for a number of years. The hull form offers advantages in stability, speed, and wide beam for large cockpit areas. There are also several disadvantages associated with the hull form, most notably the large motions and accelerations in a seaway. In recent years the high speed boat racing community has adopted transverse steps in the after bottom surfaces of the hulls to introduce air pockets and reduce drag. The size, number, and location of the steps have varied, but the concept of stepped-hulls has become a standard for high speed craft. In several navies throughout the world stepped-hull planing boats have been introduced in the littoral warfare communities with some apparent success.

Published: January 2024

This paper presents an analysis of the applicability of the vibration dose value (VDV) as a performance measure in single-impact laboratory testing of shock isolation seats. Acceleration data for individual wave slam events recorded on a shock isolation seat in a high-speed craft is used to compare the efficacy of the candidate VDV performance measure with a shock response spectra (SRS) performance measure. SRS and VDV numerical methods are described, computational results are summarized, and conclusions are presented.
An Oblique 2D+T Approach for Hydrodynamic Modeling of Yawed Planing Boats in Calm Water
Authors: Tavakoli Sasan , Dashtimanesh Abbas , Sahoo Prasanta
Published: January 2024

Determination of forces acting on planing hulls in maneuvering has been turned into an interesting problem during the last decade. Different methods, based on mathematical or empirical approaches, are elicited in order to compute hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on the boat in different simplified conditions such as steady yawed or heeled conditions. Modeling of different conditions and combining them with each other may lead to initiate a final simulation model for 6DOF motion of planing boats in calm water. These simple modeling approaches, in the other word, can be considered as basics of a final 6DOF model. Current paper address hydrodynamic modeling of yawed motion for hard-chine planing boats in calm water.

The current research paper is primarily focused on determination of horizontal force and yaw moment acting on the boat as is moves forward in steady yawed condition. The derivation approach is based on mathematical formulation of 2D+T theory and added mass variation in longitudinal direction. Virtual mass of a wedge in horizontal direction is analytically found and then the final force and moments are computed using extension of sectional forces, acted on wedge section of the boat, over entire wetted length of the vessel. The precision of the proposed model is verified by comparing the computational values against previous experimental data of Brown and Klosienki (1994a, b) and Morabito (2015). An improvement for the model has been considered to conquer some of the drawbacks reported by previous researchers. The comparison exhibits an improvement of the model, the increase in added mass which was previously discussed by Moabito (2015) can be seen. Also it is observed that in the case that the wetted length of the boat is small, the transom reduction works well and leads to an accurate prediction of sway force. Finally, it is viewed that the computed yaw moment are in a fair agreement with previous experimental data.
Investigation Of “Unsteady” Method For Model Calmwater Performance
Authors: Chung Uihoon , Datla Raju
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate and validate “unsteady” model testing method for calm water performance evaluation. Model tests for calm water resistance are typically performed at a set of discrete constant speed runs where the relevant parameters are measured and averaged over a steady speed data window of each run. However, a test matrix can become substantially large when required number of speeds, loads and hull configurations increase. In this study, an “unsteady” method was investigated where the model was towed accelerating slowly and covering the full speed range of interest in a single run. The forces due to inertial mass and added mass were subtracted from the measured unsteady resistance data and compared with data from standard calm water constant speed experiments. Steady constant speed runs were conducted in calm water over a range of Froude numbers between 0.08 and 0.55. The “unsteady” tests were conducted in calm water over the speed range using four different accelerations of 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 and 0.3 ft/s2. Runs were conducted in air at these accelerations to determine inertial forces, and a value of 0.1 was assumed for surge added mass coefficient. The results showed that the unsteady method compares well with the standard constant speed method.
Neural Network Parametric Model for Trimaran Hulls
Authors: Royce Richard A. , Doherty Patrick J.
Published: January 2024

The location of trimaran side-hulls (amas) plays an important role in the wave-making resistance of the vessel. Constructive and destructive wave interference occurs between the hulls that either augments or reduces the wave making resistance of the vessel. In a FAST 2011 paper (Royce et al, 2011) the author presented an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for trimaran resistance based on numerous tests conducted at Webb Institute’s Robinson Model Basin over a two year period. The speed range covers Froude numbers from 0.12 – 0.5. This data is thought to be one of the most comprehensive sets of test data on side-hull placement for a single model.

In order to further evaluate the validity of the trimaran ANN, contour plots of the resistance were developed. The global minimum and maximums were determined for the domain covered by the model at a Froude number of 0.35. Experiments were then conducted at these two locations to compare with the predictions from the empirical model. The results of the experiments show that the ANN model tends to under-predict the resistance for the best case and over-predicts the worst case. This work demonstrates importance of the number of hidden neurons, much like the order of polynomials used in least square regressions.

Published: January 2024

Al cultivo de esta especie le afectan factores como la temperatura, los niveles nutrimentales y la luz, entre otros, que disminuyen su producción y causan problemas, como la aborción de flores. Este trabajo se realizó de julio de 1999 a enero de 2000, en dos fases experimentales. El objetivo fue ver la influencia do la intensidad lumínica sobre la aborción de flor en el cultivo de lilis (Lilium spp ). 

Las variables que se evaluaron fueron: número de botones, por ciento de aborción de flor, altura de planta, diámetro de flor. En la fase I hubo cuatro tratamientos (sin malla, 33, 50 y 73% de sombreo), de los cuales resultó que a mayor porcentaje de sombreo, mayor aborción de flor. En la fase II, con iluminación suplementaria por las noches (de 100 a 200 bujías-pie) la aborción de la flor disminuyó, aunque resultó más efectiva la iluminación con 200 bujías pie.
Neurological complexity in systemic lupus erythematosus: insights into autoimmune encephalitis
Authors: Liana Halim Fanny , Novia Putri Nila
Published: January 2024

Background: Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is an inflammatory syndrome characterized by autoantibodies targeting the central nervous system (CNS), leading to a wide range of neurological and psychiatric manifestations. Objective: This systematic review aims to investigate the coexistence of AE and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to shed light on potential underlying mechanisms. Materials and Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted using Boolean logic in research databases i.e., PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies on AE, SLE, and their potential correlation. After the initial screening, exclusion, and quality assessment using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist, 14 studies were included for analysis. Among 18 patients, 88.9% were female whose an average age was 31.9 ± 12.7 years. Clinical presentations were varied, including cognitive impairment (66.67%), seizures (61.1%), altered mental status (50%), and movement disorders. Neuroimaging and neurophysiological findings consistently aligned with encephalitis, with MRI abnormalities observed in 94.4% of cases. Various autoantibodies were identified, including anti-NMDAR, anti-AMPA-R2, and anti-GluR antibodies. Conclusion: The identification of neuronal antibodies is crucial, particularly in scenarios involving both neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE) and encephalitis. This investigation aims to reveal etiological insights. The ongoing debate revolves around whether SLE-related encephalitis is associated with NPSLE through SLE antibodies or involves distinct antibodies. Further clinical research is essential to clarify the pathogenic role of autoantibody in SLE-linked AE.

Background: secondary intraocular lens implantation becomes more challenging due to pre-existing conditions. Objective: To report the outcome of retropubic iris-claw intraocular lens (RP-ICIOL) to corrects aphakia with low corneal endothelial cell count following previous complicated cataract surgery. Case: A 32-year-old male was referred to Undaan Eye Hospital with a chief complaint of blurred vision in his left eye (LE). Previously, the patient was diagnosed with a mature subluxated cataract and has undergone cataract extraction on the LE. Visual acuity of LE was 1/60 with raised intraocular pressure (31,8 mmHg with Schiotz Tonometry). On anterior segment examination, there was a clear cornea with an oval pupil and aphakia. The examination of the posterior segment was within normal limits. Specular microscopy of LE was 1140 cells/mm2. After IOP was controlled by medication, the patient then underwent retropubic iris-claw intraocular lens implantation. Post-operatively, the visual acuity of the LE was 2/10 and the IOP was 11 mmHg using non-contact tonometry. Six weeks post-op, the best visual acuity (BCVA) was 9/10 and the IOP was 15 mmHg and the CECD was 1110 cells/mm2 on the LE. Discussion: The RP-ICIOL was maintaining the physiological condition of the IOL location posteriorly, thus minimizing the risk of corneal decompensation and increased postoperative intraocular pressure, while at the same time trying to achieve a good refractive outcome. Conclusion: The implantation of RP-ICIOL is safe and effective management of aphakia with a low corneal endothelial cell coun secondary intraocular lens implantation becomes more challenging.

Published: January 2024

Background: NF-kB plays an important role in tumorigenesis by regulating cellular apoptosis and growth processes. Activated NF-kβ complexes were found in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), because it is the main regulator for lymphocyte proliferation, survival and development. Several evidence showed that omega 3 fatty acid inhibit NF-kB at any type of cancers. But the effects of omega 3 supplementation to the NF-kB level on children with ALL is still limited. Purpose: Analyse omega 3 fatty acids supplementation at NF-kB level on children with ALL receiving induction phase of chemotherapy and the outcomes of chemotherapy. Methods:  an open label randomized pre- and post-test control group design clinical study, conducted at October 2014 until March 2015 at inpatient unit of Haematology Oncology ward Dr. Soetomo Distric Hospital Surabaya. Subjects were divided into 2 groups: treatment group receiving omega 3 softgel 1000 mg orally once a day at the first day of the induction phase were conducted until the last day of the induction phase; and control group. NF-kB were measured before (day 0) and after induction phase (day 42) of chemotherapy. NF-kB level were measured using Human NF-kB (Elabscience®) in ng/ml and analysed statistically using paired sample t test and independent sample t-test using SPSS ver 21 (IBM, US). Results: A total of 22 subjects were included in this study, divided into 11 as the treatment group and 11 as the control group. NF-kB level were reduced at both group; 3.10 + 4.308 ng/ml to 0.76 + 0.762 ng/ml at the treatment group and 8.20 + 11.130 ng/ml to 1.748 + SD 3.072 ng/ml. There was no significant difference of NF-kB levels before and after the induction phase after omega 3 supplementation at the treatment group (p=0.065). Conclusion: There is no significant difference of NF-kB level between the subjects receiving omega 3 supplementation and the subjects who did not had omega 3 supplementation, and there is no relationship between NF-kB levels with chemotherapy outcomes.

Keluarga Berencana in Islamic View through a Sociological Approach
Authors: Tazkia Anugraheni Perdana
Published: January 2024

The program that has long been promoted to reduce the population growth rate in Indonesia is "Keluarga Berencana". This research aims to find a middle ground between Islam and the Keluarga Berencana program through a sociological approach. This research method is qualitative. The results and discussion of this research include the verses of the Qur'an and hadith that talk about offspring in Islam, as well as the opinions of scholars about the use of contraceptives. This study concludes that the Keluarga Berencana program should not only be about talking about the number of children but also the quality of the family. And there are justified reasons for the use of contraceptives so that it does not always become haram.
Maqashidi Interpretation of Q.S. Al-Baqarah [2]: 208 Regarding Kaffah Islam
Authors: Zihan Nur Rahma  , Moh. Abdulloh Hilmi
Published: January 2024

This article discusses Tafsir Maqashidi regarding "Islam Kaffah" and its impact on democracy in Indonesia. "Islam Kaffah," as a reformist movement within Islam emphasizing textual aspects, often sparks controversy within the Indonesian democracy context. This study employs Tafsir Maqashidi to analyze Q.S. al-Baqarah [2]: 208. Three analytical phases are employed: firstly, the interpretation of the verse to unravel its meaning; secondly, linguistic analysis to comprehend the content of the verse; thirdly, the interpretation of "wasilah" (cause) and "ghayah" (objective) in Q.S. al-Baqarah [2]: 208, resulting in an understanding of the "maqashid al-Qur'an." The findings reveal that "Islam Kaffah" refers to a comprehensive Islam. Micro Asbab an-Nuzul is linked to the declaration of faith by Abdullah bin Salam and his companions and the law of Moses. On a macro level, Asbab an-Nuzul is associated with the conflicts in Medina between the Aus and Khazraj tribes and the Qinuqa, bani Nadzir, and Quraidha tribes. The "Maqashid" of Q.S. al-Baqarah [2]: 208 calls on the community to implement "Islam Kaffah" with a primary focus on spreading peace, following the example of Prophet Muhammad SAW. Maqashidi interpretation reinforces the idea that "Islam Kaffah" should promote peace within society.
From Intention to Plate – Why good dietary resolutions fail
Authors: Tipaldi Petra , Schäfer Christine , Bauer Johannes C.
Published: January 2024

The Swiss population would like to eat more sustainably, but there is a clear gap between intention and realisation. This "intention-behaviour gap" - across all good nutritional resolutions - is between 29 and 45 percent. This means that between just under a third and almost half of people fail to achieve their intended goal, depending on the resolution. The gap is greatest for the resolutions to avoid packaging and only buy food that has short transport routes and takes animal welfare into account. Consumers between need for knowledge and ability to influence There is often a lack of knowledge to make an informed decision. This is shown in the trend paper "From resolution to plate". Many consumers do not seem to be aware of the impact of their diet on the environment and climate. The environmental impact of some behaviours - such as regional and seasonal eating - is overestimated by consumers. The impact of other behaviours, such as eating less meat, tends to be underestimated. Furthermore, the influence that consumers can have on the food system differs depending on the measure. They can easily avoid food waste, but it is difficult for consumers to change the packaging of a product. Four options for action towards more sustainability in nutrition In the Trend Paper, the GDI researchers, together with 31 food experts, identify four fields in which consumers and companies have good opportunities for action from the area of tension between the need for knowledge and the possibility of exerting influence: Easy Influence, ideal for beginners: Avoiding food waste, buying organic products and reducing dairy products, fish and meat as well as animal products in general; Smart Mastery, the field for professionals: taking animal welfare into account; Systemic Challenge, the challenge for die-hards: reducing product packaging and promoting the regionality of products; Collective Action, the playground for persistent nerds: advocating fair production conditions, the shortest possible transport routes and the purchase of seasonal foods and those with the lowest possible CO2 emissions.
A Study on Jigong’s influence to Goryeo Buddhism
Authors:   Humanities and Meditation Research Institute, Moon So-un
Published: January 2024

Buddhism in Goryeo Dynast during the period of the Yuan intervention was influenced by Tibetan Buddhism, resulting in anti- sila-vinaya precepts in which monks’ marriage and eating meat were allowed. During this period, Jigong(指空 Śūnyâdiśya, 1300-1361) visited Goryeo as King Temür Jìnzōng (晉宗)’s messenger who lit incense to Buddha on behalf of the king. The enlightenment through Jigong’s Musaenggye(無生戒) and Indian Zen(印度禪) was transformed into a clean atmosphere, shocking the murky Goryeo Buddhism. With this as a momentum for Goryeo’s Zen monks, starting with Naong(懶翁), to look for Jigong after he returned to the capital of Yuan. Naong was the best disciple of Jigong, and this made him lead Goryeo Buddhism in the late years of King Gongmin. Of course, there was a reason that Naong had an outstanding ability. However, Naong was selected under the situation of enthusiastic memorial service for Jigong, which must had been an important impact. This allows us to determine how deeply Jigong’s influence was imprinted on Goryeo Buddhism. Jigong is an important figure in changing the flow of Buddhism in Late Goryeo Dynasty and Early Choson Dynasty. In this regard, a detailed review on Jigong is inevitable for the understanding of Korean Buddhism. This paper examines ① the murky aspects of the Goryeo Buddhism due to the influence of Tibetan Buddhism during the period of the Yuan intervention, ② the enlightenment by Jigong’s sila-vinaya, and its influence on Goryeo Buddhism, ③ the educational perspective through the comparison with Dharma and Indian Zen, ④ the connection between Jigong and Naong, and ⑤ Naong, who became the nominal head at the end of the Goryeo Dynasty thanks to the status of Jigong. This provides a clearer understanding of the Jigong’s influence on Goryeo Buddhism and his inheritance.
