Perjalanan Isra Mikraj Nabi Muhammad dalam Pandangan Orientalis dan Sirah Nabawiyah Ibnu Hisyam
Authors: Mahamid Mochammad Nginwanun Likullil
Published: January 2024

This article was directed to compare the results of the study on the Isra Miraj event of Prophet Muhammad. This was based on the orientalist view from Germany, Annemarie Schimmels book entitled Muhammad is His Messenger: The Veneration of the Prophet in Islamic Piety, and Sirah Nabawiyah Ibnu Hisyam book by Muhammad Abdul Malik bin Hisham. By using the descriptive-narrative method and comparative study, this article proved that the two books shad many similarities in explaining the series of Prophet Muhammad’s journey to the sky from beginning to end. However, it had differences in the source of writing, the material presented, and the focus of the discussion. In general, the first book excelled in terms of material and discussion, which was more varied because the sources used were very diverse. This was in contrast to the second book, which lacked sources, but the explanation was more systematic and directed. On the other hand, the orientalist’s book was able to provide a broad assessment and description of the Isra Miraj with critical reasoning as an academic. Meanwhile, the book written by Ibnu Hisham only focused on explanations about the science of monotheism that Muslims must believe, without inviting readers to think further in relation to contemporary phenomena. Artikel ini diarahkan untuk membandingkan hasil penelitian mengenai peristiwa Isra Mikraj Nabi Muhammad, menurut pandangan dari seorang orientalis asal Jerman, Annemarie Schimmel, dalam bukunya berjudul And Muhammad is His Messenger: The Veneration of the Prophet in Islamic Piety, dengan buku Sirah Nabawiyah Ibnu Hisyam, karya dari Muhammad Abdul Malik bin Hisyam. Dengan metode deskriptif-naratif dan jenis penelitian studi komparatif, artikel ini membuktikan bahwa kedua buku tersebut memiliki banyak persamaan dalam menjelaskan rangkaian perjalanan Nabi Muhammad ke langit dari awal sampai akhir, hanya saja memiliki perbedaan pada sumber penulisan, materi yang disampaikan, dan fokus pembahasannya. Secara umum, buku pertama unggul dari segi materi dan pembahasannya yang lebih bervariasi, karena sumber yang digunakan sangat beragam, bertolak belakang dengan buku kedua yang minim sumber, namun penjelasannya lebih sistematis dan terarah. Di sisi lain, buku karya Orientalis tersebut, mampu memberi penilaian dan gambaran yang luas tentang peristiwa Isra Mikraj dengan nalar kritis sebagai seorang akademisi, sedangkan buku yang ditulis Ibnu Hisyam hanya berkutat pada penjelasan seputar ilmu tauhid yang wajib diyakini oleh umat Islam, tanpa mengajak pembaca untuk berpikir lebih jauh kaitannya dengan fenomena masa kini.

Authors: Lubis Indah Syafiqah
Published: January 2024

The controversy raised by the Fathimiyah Daula in the history of Islamic civilization is really interesting to discuss and review. The greatest contribution to Islamic civilization was given by the Fathimiyah dynasty because of Al-Azhar University in Cairo, which is still used and utilized today. Talking about the ideology and understanding held by Daulah is a Shia understanding. Loyalty to Ali bin Abi Talib is the most important topic for the Shiites. This dynasty is known as an extreme dynasty because it contains a lot of blasphemy, fraud and murder. The Fatimid Daulah has three capital cities including Raqadah, al-Mahdiyah and Cairo along with the leadership of 14 caliphs for 262 years maximum in 909 to 1171. So this research is written to discuss the development until the decline of the Fatimid Daulah. How is the history of the Fathimiyah Daula, the development of the Fathimiyah in the political, social, religious, educational, economic fields.

This article aims to provide a historiographical analysis of modern Indonesian Islam. To find out the historiography of modern Indonesian Islam, the book Ulama and the Power of Jajat Burhanudin's work is an example of modern Islamic history that will be the object of analysis in this article. The methods used in this research are library research and oral history. The result of this research is that modern Indonesian Islamic historiography is a continuity process from previous historiography. The hallmark of the historiography of modern Indonesian Islam is the writing of history using a new history, namely history that uses a multidisciplinary approach. In addition, the second characteristic is that the Indonesian-centric ideology has been embedded in the history of Muslims in Indonesia, so that the history of modern Indonesian Islam plays a role in highlighting Indonesian identity. In this case, Jajat Burhanudin attempted to write the history of modern Indonesian Islam in the works of Ulama and Power. This book was written using sources from various languages such as Dutch, English, and even sources in traditional historiography such as chronicles, hikayat, and fiber. For his efforts, the book Ulama and Power is able to comprehensively record the Muslim scholars in the 19th and 20th Centuries Indonesia.

Published: January 2024

Aun cuando por décadas en México se han llevado a cabo esfuerzos para la conservación in situ de los maíces nativos, su fomento y protección siguen presentando desafíos y oportunidades. En este artículo exploramos dichos retos y oportunidades a través del caso del maíz raza Jala desde una perspectiva histórica, sistémica e inclusiva que permitió describir las dinámicas de pérdida y de mantenimiento que han prevalecido en las últimas décadas. Mediante un estudio que compara datos colectados con casi 20 años de diferencia sobre la raza de maíz Jala, se documentan las dinámicas que ha vivido este maíz en tres aspectos: su producción, su aprovechamiento y su valoración. Los resultados resaltan cómo los factores de mantenimiento y pérdida han cambiado y cómo nuevos retos y oportunidades han aparecido. Retos asociados a procesos de pérdida de productividad y adaptación se han vuelto relevantes, mientras oportunidades para diversificar su utilización son manifiestas. Desafíos en la integración de jóvenes para asegurar el relevo generacional se han vuelto más críticos. Así como la oportunidad de involucrar más a las mujeres que promueven el consumo local y al aprovechamiento del potencial de los mercados especializados en maíces nativos. Finalmente, el desarrollo de estrategias integrales que involucran instituciones sociales informales (como la familia) y formales (diferentes niveles de gobierno), bajo un marco legal nacional, estatal y local del maíz como patrimonio cultural, se vuelve crítico para la conservación in situ del maíz raza Jala y otras razas de maíz en México.

FEATURES OF RUSSIA’S SOFT IMPACT ON UKRAINE (UNTIL 2014)
Authors: Mateleshko Yurii
Published: January 2024

The article considers the main features of Russia’s soft impact on Ukraine. The study is based on the application of the soft power concept of the American scientist J. Nye. The term soft power means to the ability of one actor to influence others using attraction (of one’s values, culture, politics, etc.), persuasion and involvement, as opposed to hard coercion and bribery (hard power). The Russian Federation’s soft impact on Ukraine, despite certain achievements, was generally inefficient, inconsistent and unsystematic. The reasons for this were: 1) stereotyped attitudes towards Ukraine as a constantly loyal and close country; 2) the predominance of the pro-Western national project in Ukraine, which is based on the opposition of Russian and Ukrainian development models; 3) the Russian Federation has not had a sufficiently attractive image for Ukrainians, taking into account the specifics of its political (authoritarianism) and economic (raw materials) systems; 4) insufficient institutional support for the soft influence policy, which is especially noticeable against the background of the Western non-governmental organizations’ activity in Ukraine; 5) the delay in implementing a targeted soft power policy at the state level. At the same time, it is worth noting certain successes in this direction of Russian policy related to the church, educational, cultural, information and economic areas. However, these achievements, mostly related to the previous common historical experience of the two countries, were often accumulated inertially, without the systematic and conscious use of soft impact’s tools. Russia’s use of hard power against Ukraine since 2014 has reversed all these gains.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AMONG IMMIGRANT WOMEN: CHALLENGES, CAUSES AND WAYS TO OVERCOME
Authors: Ryspay Lunara
Published: January 2024

The article is dedicated to the critical examination of domestic violence among immigrant women, focusing on the identification of challenges, underlying causes, and the development of effective countermeasures to address and prevent such violence. The purpose of the study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence in the context of immigrant populations and to unearth the complex interplay of cultural, social, and legal factors that influence these dynamics. The tasks of the research include: assessing the extent and nature of domestic violence within immigrant communities; exploring the cultural, social, and legal contributors to such violence; and identifying the barriers that prevent affected women from seeking and obtaining help. The results of the study reveal a nuanced understanding of domestic violence in immigrant communities, highlighting the multifarious barriers that immigrant women face, from language and cultural differences to legal and systemic obstacles. The results of the analysis showed that the principal issues faced by immigrant women in the sphere of domestic violence include alarmingly high instances of intimate partner violence, with reports from specific ethnic demographics indicating that as many as 61% of individuals may experience such abuse within their lifetimes. Cultural stigmas and language barriers are significant impediments, often deterring immigrant women from seeking necessary help and from leveraging the support mechanisms that exist. Сomplexities in navigating the legal and healthcare systems of their host countries contribute to a sense of disorientation and lack of support among these women. The absence of confidential and culturally sensitive interpreters in healthcare settings further obstructs open communication about experiences of domestic abuse. The practical significance lies in the article's potential to inform policymaking, enhance service provision, and guide community interventions, aiming to improve the safety and well-being of immigrant women.

Published: January 2024

Background: Breast epithelial duct cells show response to sex hormone such as estrogen and progesterone since they have receptor for estrogen and progesterone. Consequently, malignant cells from breast epithelial ductuli (Breast Ductal Carcinoma) show positivity for estrogen and progesterone receptor (ER and PR). However, when this neoplasm becomes poorly differentiated, they lost these characteristics and became ER and PR negative. On the other hand, poorly differentiated cancer cells show more nuclear enlargement that was accompanied by increase nuclear pleomorphism. This study wants to compare area of breast cancer cells nuclei and nuclear pleiomorphism in positive and negative ER and PR. Material and method: Positive and negative ER and PR breast cancer cases were collected from archive of Anatomic Pathology Department each consisting of ten to fourteen cases. Image analysis was made from each case to measure the area, diameter, and nuclear pleiomorphism. Result and discussion: There were no differences in nuclear size and pleomorphism of breast cancer cells with positive and negative ER and PR. This result show that poorly differentiated cancer cells did not accompany by increase of nuclear anaplasia. Conclusion: There is no difference of cancer cells morphology in positive and negative ER and PR. Hormonal status and anaplasia of cell nuclei can be used as independent prognostic factor to breast cancer progression.

Authors: Beatrice Chapi Owoicho  , Williams Amanyi Idakwoji  , Joseph Dalyop Audu  , Henry Emusa
Published: January 2024

Architecture and culture are two concepts that represent the identification of any society. Architecture is the manifestation and expression of culture. So, Architecture and Culture are interdependent and inseparable. Research has identified culture as the main factor in the evolution of the architecture of a people and it plays an important role in the environmental and social development and sustainability of a place. The culture of any society is based on their beliefs, history, civilization, climate and customs, whilst architecture symbolizes a society’s culture that has evolved. This research explores the intricate relationship between culture and architecture in the evolution of traditional architecture in Nigeria, with a specific focus on the evolution of the indigenous homestead of the Igala people of North Central Nigeria. Employing a narrative approach, the study utilized historical research, field surveys, and interviews to explore how cultural beliefs, norms, practices, and socio-cultural factors have profoundly influenced the design and planning of Igala traditional dwellings. By investigating the interplay between indigenous knowledge systems, community practices, and material availability, the research uncovers the unique architectural features that have emerged from the rich tapestry of Igala culture to include the long straight entrance path (ojikpologu), the circular curvilinear homestead and buildings, courtyard (anuku/okolo), reception house (atakpa), and food storage barn (aka). Others include shrine (achękwu), grinding hut (ǫdǫ-okuta), animals’ pen (unyi-amęñwu-ǫrę), and security fence (ϙgba), all deeply rooted in Igala culture. This research provides valuable insights into the adaptability of traditional architecture to culture. It further offers essential knowledge for architects, preservationists, and policymakers, guiding their efforts in heritage preservation, sustainable architectural design, and urban planning within multicultural contexts.
Meaning making in the aftermath of trauma: A narrative review
Authors: Fiona Kau  , Joanne Lusher  , Alastair Pipkin
Published: January 2024

Meaning making is an important task for overcoming the impact of physical and psychological traumas, yet various theoretical perspectives conceptualise this process differently. Although meaning making is central to various psychological therapies aimed at addressing the impact of trauma, there remain some differences in definition, stance and approach. This narrative review on meaning making in the aftermath of trauma is therefore informed by seminal texts of existential therapy with searches conducted using databases relevant to the field using key word combinations like “meaning making”, “process of meaning making” and “meaning-making process” with “trauma”. This search generated over 200 published works that were reviewed for their relevance by assigning low, medium, high, or very high ratings. Within this review different understandings and conceptualisations of meaning and trauma have been conceptualised and discussed. How these are interrelated and the role of posttraumatic growth to the recovery of trauma is also deliberated. The discourse develops into the role of meaning in various modalities to demonstrate the importance of this within talking therapies. Concerns surrounding meaning making within talking therapies are also considered.
How counselling psychologists address issues of race with clients from black Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds: A discourse analysis
Authors: Filipe Madre De Deus De Sousa  , Samantha Banbury  , Olaide Phillips  , Joanne Lusher
Published: January 2024

The prejudiced experiences that Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) clients report when discussing culture, racial discrimination and race has been documented. However, research seldom investigates the practitioners’ interpretations when engaging with clients from non-White ethnic backgrounds. This raises questions about how professionals address individuals' needs in clinical and supervisory practice. Therefore, the present study shed light on the discourses counselling psychologists use to address and discuss issues of race and discrimination when talking with clients in clinical practice. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of six counselling psychologists (mean age 40 years) who had engaged with clients or supervisees from a BAME background. A Discourse Analysis (DA) was employed to analyze dialogue used by participants in discussing race and discrimination in counselling psychology practice. This analysis yielded three main discourses when counselling psychologists described their therapeutic interactions with BAME clients and supervises. These were Systemic Institutional Racism; Legitimizing Racism; and Challenging Systemic Racism. The first two discourses alluded to similar repertoires present in the discussions of white counselling psychologist participants, whereas the discourse challenging systemic racism was constructed by BAME counselling psychologists. Findings indicate that becoming attuned and open to discussing race-related difficulties supports favorable outcomes in practice when engaging with BAME individuals. This research offers valuable implications for service provision across counselling and therapeutic practice.

Background: Nausea and vomiting, commonly known as morning sickness, pose significant discomfort and distress to many expectant mothers during early pregnancy stages. While various remedies and medications exist, concerns regarding their safety and potential side effects prompt exploration into alternative therapies. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure therapy in reducing the symptoms of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. The research involved a group of pregnant women divided into several groups. The effectiveness of the therapy was assessed by monitoring the frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting before and after the intervention. The results of this study indicate that acupressure therapy significantly reduces the symptoms of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women compared to the placebo group. Thus, acupressure therapy can be an effective and safe approach to managing nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, improving the quality of life for pregnant women, and promoting a more natural and sustainable treatment approach during pregnancy.

Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by CTNS gene mutation, characterized by abnormal accumulation of cysteine amino acid. Its prevalence is approximately between 1:100,000 and 1:200,000. It may affect internal organs such as the cornea, bone marrow, thyroid, liver and kidneys. It is divided into three groups: infantile nephropathic, juvenile nephropathic and ocular cystinosis. There are limited reports in the literature regarding the peroperative management of these patients. We wanted to focus on the peroperative anesthesia management of our patient who was diagnosed with cystinosis and was planned to undergo emergency testicular torsion surgery.

AbstractThe main problem in this research is how legal protection is for business actors who apply the cash on delivery method and what are the obstacles to legal protection for business actors who use the cash on delivery (CoD) method. The research method used in this research is descriptive research, which explains the regulations which is related to legal theory and regulations which are the object of research, which aims to form an accurate picture of the facts. In reality in the field, the implementation of this law has not been optimal, this is because consumers do not yet have an awareness of how to defend their rights. In this way, the problem of shopping with cash on delivery (CoD) seems to never end because apart from a lack of education. There is also a lack of awareness to maintain rights according to existing procedures. The government as a policy maker must be proactive to protect parties in online stores fairly. Existing regulations tend not to provide equal protection between buyers and sellers, when sellers experience losses they have to take steps that take quite a long time to obtain legal protection. The government must make regulations that can firmly protect the rights of business actors to provide the principle of justice for all parties in online stores. AbstrakMasalah pokok dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana perlindungan hukum terhadap pelaku usaha yang menerapkan cara cash on delivery (CoD) dan apa yang menjadi hambatan perlindungan hukum bagi pelaku usaha yang menggunakan cara cash on delivery (CoD). Kenyataannya di lapangan,implementasi peraturan perundang-undangan yang ada belum maksimal, hal ini disebabkan pelaku usaha belum memiliki kesadaran bagaimanamempertahankan haknya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian yuridis normatif, yang menjelaskan peraturan yang memiliki kaitan dengan teori hukum dan peraturan yang menjadi objek penelitian, yang bertujuan untuk membentuk gambaran fakta yangakurat. Dengan begitu, permasalahan berbelanja dengan CoD seakan tidak ada habisnya karena selain kurangnya edukasi, juga kurangnya kesadaranuntuk menjaga hak sesuai prosedur yang ada. Pemerintah sebagai pengambil kebijakan harus proaktif untuk melindungi pihak-pihak yang berada ditoko online secara adil. Peraturan yang ada cenderung tidak memberikan perlindungan yang konsumen, ketika penjual mengalami kerugian maka mereka harus mengambil langkah-langkah yang memakan waktu cukup lama untuk mendapatkan perlindungan sahnya. Pemerintah harus membuatperaturan yang dapat secara tegas melindungi hak-hak pelaku usaha untuk memberikan prinsip keadilan bagi semua pihak dalam transaksi e-commerce.

RELEVANCE. Suspended insulators, the technical condition of which largely determines the reliability of power supply to consumers of different categories, are one of the most damaged elements of overhead power transmission lines [1-2]. This is primarily due to the fact that during their operation, insulators are exposed to various climatic conditions that have a direct impact on their insulating properties. Moreover, precipitation, such as rain, fog or dew, has the greatest impact precisely in combination with various solid, liquid and gaseous particles deposited on the insulator surface from the air, and forming a layer of surface contamination. Wetting this layer increases the electrical conductivity of the entire overhead line insulation structure and reduces its insulating capacity. Study of influence of dampening of contaminated surface of suspended insulation on their discharge characteristics is an urgent scientific task. The solution of this task enables to develop the existing understanding of the mechanisms of formation and development of discharges on the contaminated and wetted surface of insulation and to formulate the appropriate diagnostic attributes applicable to control the condition of the overhead power line insulators. OBJECTIVE. To carry out laboratory research aimed at studying the behavior of suspended high-voltage polymer insulators of overhead power lines when they are moistened. To formulate appropriate diagnostic attributes applicable for control of condition of suspended insulators of overhead power lines during their operation. METHODS. At the solution of the posed problem experimental methods of research, consisting in simulation of work of the contaminated polymeric insulator in the atmosphere of a pure fog with application of the special experimental installation developed by the authors of this article were applied. RESULTS. As a result of laboratory research, by continuous registration of leakage current values, as well as signals coming from the remote sensor, characteristic features of contaminated insulator humidification were revealed, which can be used as diagnostic signs in the process of their operation.
