The Position of Arbitration in Dispute Resolution of Islamic Financial Institutions
Authors: Adi Astiti Ni Nyoman , Rahman Ghozali , Ibtisamah Siti Nur
Published: February 2022

Arbitration in Islamic law is known as the term tahkim which comes from Arabic. Arbitration in Islam has been recognized in the Al-Qur’an, Sunnah and Ijmak. In Indonesia, sharia arbitration focuses on the field of muamalah or sharia-based civil law. Sharia arbitration is very relevant in resolving sharia banking disputes. The practice of tahkim has been done by the companions of the Apostle. Thus, the problems that are resolved by arbitration institutions are not against Islamic law, because Islamic law itself recognizes the legality of arbitration as dispute resolution. However, in the formation of an arbitration institution, elements prohibited by religion should not be included and its decisions are also not contradicting religious law. If a case is related to an arbitration institution to settle it, then according to Islamic law the official judicial institution is no longer authorized.

Published: February 2022

Abstract: The study of the competency of lecturers in Indonesia cannot be separated from the study of state intervention in education. State hegemony occurs in the form of formalization of regulations governing the improvement of capabilities and competences of lecturers. Research shows that the presence of Law No. 14 of 2005 and Government Regulation No. 37 of 2009 has been used as an implementation juridical foothold to encourage the increase of qualifications and competences of lecturers at State Islamic Religious Colleges (PTKIN) in Indonesia in general, and in UIN Ar-Raniry and UIN Bandung specifically. A qualitative-quantitative combination research design was applied in this research with data set approaches through documentation studies, observations, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires. This research establishes that the development of lecturer competence in PTKIN is in line with and not contradictory to the national education system and strengthens the content of Law No. 14 of 2005 and Government Regulation No. 37 of 2009. The qualifications and competences of lecturers at PTKIN have improved, but there is still a treat of implementation of regulations that have not been maximally felt by the lecturers. Upgrading the qualifications and competences of lecturers well and maximally, substantially affects PTKIN lecturers in improving the performance, professionalism and quality of academic benefits for students. These logical consequences have a positive impact on the transformation of education in the PTKIN environment after COVID-19, where learning processes and academic services can run online based on information technology.

Published: February 2022

Abstract:  The information age witnessed the democratisation of education with an exponential growth in the enrolment of postgraduate students in almost all universities around the world. However, high attrition and low completion rates among students have been an immense threat to the key performance of the university system. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of institutional support, supervisory practices, and students’ self-management and research skills on postgraduate students’ motivation to graduate on time (GOT). The data were collected from 191 postgraduate students from three universities in Malaysia using a survey questionnaire. The quantitative data were analysed using the PLS-SEM approach. The results revealed that research skills, institutional support and self-management skills significantly influenced the postgraduate students’ motivation to GOT. Furthermore, research skills were identified as the strongest predictor of the motivation to GOT. Additionally, research skills mediated the relationships between institutional support, students’ self-management skills and postgraduate students’ motivation to GOT. However, supervisory practices toward GOT were not supported either by direct or indirect effect. The study has far reaching implications for the postgraduate students, supervisors, and institutions of higher learning.

Published: February 2022

Abstract: The objective of the survey was to examine the relationship between perceived teacher competencies in the era of Education 4.0 (TCEdu4.0) and teacher attitudes toward change (TATC) in Malaysian secondary schools. A total of 1,293 teachers from 80 secondary schools that were chosen using disproportionate stratified sampling method completed the questionnaires with valid data. The results demonstrated that, i) there was a significant, positive and strong correlation between TCEdu4.0 and TATC; and ii) except Functional and Research Competency, Self-Management and Interactive Competency, Leading Learning and Mentoring, Problem Solving, Technological and Digital Competency, and Pedagogical Psychology and Assessment were the five predictors of TATC that contributed 49.20% to the total variation. The study re-affirms the practicality of the competency and planned behavioural theories, provides evidence that teacher’s individual factor is a major determinant of attitudes toward change. Moreover, it expands the understanding among educational practitioners regarding the interplay between these two variables and is a significant resource for Institut Aminuddin Baki in developing future training programmes for school leaders in enhancing TCEdu4.0 and TATC. In summary, the study offers valuable insights for driving school change effectively that sustainable school change is correlated to individual factors.

Abstract: Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) has taken an approach of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) system as a way to ensure the continuity of its education during the COVID-19 pandemic. This transformation leads to various challenges in teaching and learning. Hence, this study aimed to describe the ODL in terms of university students’ learning experiences and their academic achievements during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study involved a total of 3283 students during March-August 2020 semester in UiTM Negeri Sembilan. Data were collected via online surveys and were descriptively and statistically analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings showed that students were given sufficient information regarding the assessments of the course (mean=3.64) and the delivery of the course content (mean=3.65). The success factors on the students’ academic achievements were due to the support from lecturers (mean=2.78), peers (mean=2.79) and family (mean=2.55). Thus, it can be concluded that the majority of the students are satisfied with their ODL learning experiences and academic achievements. This study suggests that academic management should continue to provide effective support in the form of resources and services to increase performances by their students.

That ‘That Degree has to Wait’: A Case Study of Distance Education Adult Students in Malaysia
Authors: Guat Im Bok
Published: February 2022

Abstract: Obtaining a bachelor’s degree is often conceived as the ultimate goal for post-secondary and diploma students. However, this goal is not always immediately available or accessible for students. Delays in higher education enrolment have considerable disadvantages for students as they are often associated with lower graduation rates and lower socio-economic status. This paper seeks to identify the reasons why students delay their bachelor’s degree enrolment. Adult students currently pursuing higher education or recently graduated from higher education and who have had a gap between their post-secondary/diploma and higher education were recruited as the respondents for this study. The research adopted a qualitative approach using the in-depth interview as a research instrument. Twelve adult learners were identified and interviewed for this study. Data collected were analysed using Nvivo version 12. The analysis revealed three main rationales as causes of delayed enrolment in higher education. The rationales were financial, family and work reasons. Of these three, financial reasons were the main rationale behind the delay of academic enrolment and subsequent attainment. It was further found that these reasons were not a stand-alone cause as they were linked with other rationales in contributing to the students’ decision to delay their higher education enrolment.

STEAM-ing: Preliminary Insights in Consolidating Arts with STEM
Authors: Ramli Siti Soraya , Maaruf Siti Zuraida , Mohamad Syamsul Nor Azlan , Abdullah Nabilah , Md Shamsudin Nurshamshida , Syed Aris Sharipah Ruzaina
Published: February 2022

Abstract: Science, mathematics, technology, and engineering (STEM) have long been acknowledged as subjects that are fundamental for national progress and growth.  Efforts to integrate the “arts” component in the teaching and learning of STEM subjects have begun over two decades ago through the introduction of KBSR and KBSM in the Malaysian school curriculum; however, its implementation received mixed reactions. The reason is that although “art” can and does make STEM subjects interesting and engaging, it could also distract and remove the focus away from STEM components. Realizing the importance of Arts in complementing the learning of science-based subjects in terms of creativity and collaborative focus, this study aims to uncover the views schoolteachers encounter as they try to integrate Arts in STEM teaching.  Using a qualitative approach, the study involved teachers currently teaching STEM subjects in local public and private schools. Data was collected via a semi-structured interview with four experienced Science teachers. Findings revealed all Science teachers unanimously agree the integration of Visual Arts elements in STEM could ease various pedagogical challenges which include students’ thinking ability, practical knowledge, and ability in technology; constraints related to teaching aid and ensuring student understanding of “difficult” topics in the lower secondary Science syllabus.

El grupo, liderado por el actual presidente de Brasil, Jair Bolsonaro, intriga a los investigadores por una serie de comportamientos inherentes a ellos, entre ellos el recurrente e incluso insalubre apelación discursiva, a la imagen fálica y anorretal en medio de discusiones, en este trabajo, presentado en capturas de pantalla y publicaciones por simpatizantes del mandatario brasileño - además de él mismo -, aun cuando el tema en debate es diferente. Debido a las fakenews del absurdo que pueblan y aturden la mente bolsonarista, como kit gay, biberón en forma fálica, ideología de género, implantación inminente del comunismo, entre otras, se analizan estas líneas, que no son agradables, quede claro, partiendo de una lectura que impregna el plano social y trata de comprender y explicar la mentalidad bolsonarista impregnada de pasiones reprimidas, libido incautada, impedimentos sexuales y la preservación de prácticas familiares traumáticas reveladas en sus declaraciones presentadas en el cuerpo del texto.
Study on the evolutionary game theory of the psychological choice for online purchase of fresh produce under replicator dynamics formula
Authors: Chen Yan
Published: February 2022

First, the research results of using game theory in the field of agricultural product quality and safety at home and abroad are reviewed and summarised, and the shortcomings of classical games theory are pointed out in most studies. The evolutionary game theory is used to explore the strategic space and evolution trend of agricultural product supply chain. Through the construction and analysis of a game model for the evolution of agricultural product quality and safety, the evolutionary phase diagram of the agricultural product supply chain market and evolutionary stability characteristics at each equilibrium point are obtained, which well reveal the evolutionary process of the agricultural product supply chain and effectively formulate related policies. Scientific basis for ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural products is provided.

Study aim: The COVID-19 pandemic has unhinged the lives of people across the globe, in particular, university students who are home-schooling. No study has investigated the influence of specific parameters on reaction time (RT) among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study aims to describe the relationship between RT and parameters (types of stimuli, handedness, and gender differences) that may affect its values during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Material and methods: RT of 60 volunteers to visual and auditory stimuli were recorded using the drop ruler method. RT was compared within-subject with respect to handedness and type of stimulus, and between subjects with regards to gender.

Results: Although a small difference between RT reported as a function of hands and gender was observed, these results were statistically insignificant. However, females had a significant shorter RT to visual than the auditory stimulus.

Conclusions: Findings showed that no significant differences were obtained between all comparisons made, except between females RT to visual stimulus and auditory stimulus. This can be attributed to the high level of stress and anxiety that may occur among students due to the COVID-19, which is the most prevalent and dangerous topic for university students, especially female students.
Mesoarchean melt and fluid inclusions in garnet from the Kangerlussuaq basement, Southeast Greenland
Authors: Nicoli Gautier , Gresky Kerstin , Ferrero Silvio
Published: February 2022

The present work reports the first anatectic melt inclusions found so far in the Mesoarchean basement in East Greenland. Using optical microscope observations and MicroRaman spectroscopy, we show that garnets in metasedimentary migmatite contain primary polycrystalline aggregates which can be confidently interpreted as former droplets of anatectic melt, i.e. nanogranitoids. In some cases, they coexist with coeval fluid inclusions under conditions of primary fluid-melt immiscibility. The re-evaluation of the metamorphic pressure and temperature conditions with up-to-date phase equilibria modelling, combined with the identification of nanogranitoids and fluid inclusions, suggests metamorphic peak equilibration and partial melting in presence of a COH-fluid at T ~1000°C and P > 7 kbar. To date, this is the oldest verified occurrence of nanogranitoids and fluid-melt immiscibility during garnet growth in a partially molten environment.
Trends in Environmental Management Systems Research. A Content Analysis
Authors: Fagioli Filippo Fiume , Paolotti Luisa , Boggia Antonio
Published: February 2022

Environmental Management Systems (EMS) represent a solid opportunity for companies that voluntarily undertake a path towards the adoption of environmental protection policies. Many studies investigated the link between EMS and improvement of environmental performance, demonstrating how the adoption of an international standard as ISO 14000 or EMAS guarantees the company an improvement in its performance and an increase in transparency towards stakeholders. However, scientific research in this field reflects the strong variability due to the breadth and diversity of sectors in which the two international standards can be adopted. The aim of this work is to analyse, through textual statistics and text mining methods, the trends that characterize scientific production, highlighting most debated topics useful for developing new research perspectives in this research field.

Subject. This article focuses on the design of management reporting forms including information on the formation and use of sources of investment financing for the phases of the investment project of an agricultural organization.
Objectives. The article aims to offer information support to manage investment in fixed assets of agricultural organizations, taking into account the identified problems.
Methods. For the study, we used a systems approach, and the methods of comparison, systematization, and data generalization.
Results. The article offers author-developed forms of management reporting on financing by investment project phase that disclose information about the planned and actual receipt of funds and provide operational numerical data on the volume and sources of financing of each particular phase of the investment project.
Conclusions and Relevance. The implementation of the proposed recommendations on information support for investment activities will help the agricultural organization's management make a final decision taking into account possible financial risks and promptly monitor changes in the volume of financing for each particular investment phase of the project. The conceptual provisions of the study can be applied in the development of provisions, methods and procedures for management accounting for agricultural organizations.
Parameterization of reproduction in the Russian economy
Authors: SMIRNOV Valerii V.
Published: February 2022

Subject. The article addresses the economic policy of the Russian Federation.
Objectives. The focus is on the mathematical analysis of reproduction processes in the Russian economy.
Methods. I employ methods of statistical, neural network, and cluster analysis.
Results. The study revealed a decrease in the demand for services and increased demand for food products. High volatility of consumer price index for non-food items reflects the correction in the structure of consumer spending of the population for calculating the consumer price index. The study found an increase in the ability of companies to pay off current (short-term) liabilities at the expense of only current assets (current liquidity ratio), with a decrease in the equity ratio and return on assets. I found the low values of market competition and investments in metal ore mining.
Conclusions. The identified significant parameters of reproduction in the economy make it possible for the Russian government to take an active part in the combining the resources of capitalist monopolies with the power of the State.

To reduce the environmental risk from sea transport, a number of international and national requirements have been adopted, the implementation of which is mandatory in Russia. However, full control over their implementation is not always possible. Therefore, it is proposed to introduce a system for automatic assessment of the ecological reliability of a vessel for the possibility of passing an ecologically safe vessel in the water area of the Kerch Strait.
The Cooperation of UNHCR and Indonesia on Afghan Refugee Handling in Indonesia

Published: February 2022

Afghan refugees are currently the largest number of refugees in Indonesia. As a country that has not ratified the 1951 Refugee Convention, Indonesia does not have the right obligations and legal basis in dealing with refugee problems. Thus, Afghan refugees lose their basic human rights. Therefore, UNHCR and Indonesia must work together and share responsibilities in providing protection to refugees. The author uses the concept of refugees, international organizations and international cooperation to study secondary data that is collected and analyzed qualitatively. The data used relates to the condition of Afghan refugees in Indonesia, the role of UNHCR, and the collaborative process of UNHCR and the Indonesian government in handling Afghan refugees in Indonesia. This article finds that the work of UNHCR and the Government of Indonesia is carried out by adjusting actions through a policy coordination process and agreement on the scope of cooperation and setting an agenda that is in line with the objectives and programs to achieve temporary protection and empowerment of refugees. This cooperation results in the protection of the human rights of Afghan refugees, such as human rights at the shelter, other rights such as access to education for refugee children and transparency regarding the personal data of refugees registered in Indonesia for further empowerment solutions.
