Authors: Muhammad Dzaky  , Budi Santoso  , Hanif Nur Widhiyanti
Published: June 2024

The resolution of Cross-Border Insolvency disputes in bankruptcy practice in Indonesia, with a focus on court decision Number 26/PAILIT/2010/PN.Niaga.JKT.PST. This highlights the lack of specific regulations in Indonesian law regarding cross-border bankruptcy, which causes legal uncertainty in resolving such disputes. This research uses a normative juridical approach to examine the application of rules and norms in positive law. The case analysis includes a bankruptcy petition against Manwani Santosh Tekchand filed by OCBC Securities Private Limited, which raises issues regarding the evidentiary strength of the special power of attorney granted to the Attorney. This article emphasizes the importance of clear rules and legal certainty to protect creditor rights and facilitate the execution of debtor assets. The court decisions discussed in this article highlight the legal implications of cross-border bankruptcy resolution, stating that foreign court decisions can be valid and convincing evidence regarding debts and the relationship between debtors and creditors if they meet formal requirements as authentic deeds. However, foreign court decisions cannot be recognized and implemented by Indonesian courts unless there is a ratified convention or the principle of reciprocity. The article concludes that the resolution of cross-border bankruptcy disputes in bankruptcy practice in Indonesia is limited by existing regulations and suggests the possibility of litigation or filing new bankruptcy applications based on debt instruments.

Published: June 2024

Nationalism and Islamic identity are two concepts that are interrelated and important for Islamic education. Nationalism is an attitude of love for the homeland and nation that does not conflict with Islamic teachings as long as it does not contain fanaticism, chauvinism or superiority. The identity of a Muslim is a servant of God who surrenders to Him wholeheartedly, follows the teachings of Islam revealed by the Prophet Muhammad SAW, and strives to be a witness to truth and goodness in the world. Islamic education is a comprehensive process of developing human potential in accordance with Islamic values. Axiology of Islamic education is topics related to the purpose, objectives and values of Islamic education. The purpose of this research is to analyze the relationship and influence of nationalism and Islamic identity in the study of the axiology of Islamic education. This research uses library research, and the final results are analyzed interactively by presenting descriptive research discussions. The results of this study show that nationalism and Muslim identity can be strengthened and realized through Islamic education that is oriented towards values such as tawhid, worship, morals, knowledge, charity and da'wah. Islamic education can also make a positive contribution to nation and state building as well as global cooperation and peace by respecting diversity and universal values in accordance with Islamic law.

The Archaeological Meaning of Jangwigong Seo Hee’s Tomb
Authors:   Yeongnam Archaeological Review, Joo Youngmin
Published: June 2024

Goryeo’s grave remains that have been designated and managed as state-designated cultural properties since the establishment of the state include Goryeo’s old tomb group in Pyeonggeo-dong, Jinju designated as Historic Site No. 164 in 1968 and the tomb of General Yun Gwan designated as Historic Site No. 323 in 1988 only, and the criteria for designating these two remains as historic sites exhibit several problems. In general, the status of a state-designated cultural property has the historicity and symbolicity that can represent a specific period, and importantly, the irreplaceable scarcity and uniqueness of the value of existence should be equipped at the same time. Nevertheless, the tomb of General Yun Gwan which lost the original form as Gwaninbunmyo in Goryeo could be designated as a historical site because of the figure’s symbolicity in overcoming the national crisis. Looking at Seo Hee’s tomb from this point of view, we can find the aspect that it was transformed into Joseon’s Gwaninbunmyo while maintaining part of the appearance of Goryeo’s Gwaninbunmyo. This aspect of Seo Hee’s tomb is understood to show that the graveyard was first formed in Goryeo and then maintained and managed continuously in Joseon, too.
Next, according to the results of archaeological examination on Seo Hee’s tomb, it is questionable whether early Goryeo officials uniformly preferred Gaegyeong and Geungi areas as burial sites as shown in previous studies. In this regard, this study reinvestigated the material of epitaphs put in graves in Goryeo. According to the findings, the time when Goryeo officials used Gaegyeong and areas around it as burial sites in earnest was from the time of King Munjong. Then, during the time before King Munjong in Goryeo when various systems were legislated in Goryeo and Gaegyeong’s status was newly established, it seems that Goryeo officials still maintained a bond with where they were born even though they moved their home base to Gaegyeong. Therefore, it is highly likely that Seo Hee’s tomb was built in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do during the time before King Munjong in Goryeo.
Construction Technology of Silla and Gaya Earthen Fortification in Yeongnam Area
Authors:   Yeongnam Archaeological Review, Lee Hyeokhee , Kim Jinhyeon
Published: June 2024

Research on Silla and Gaya Earthen Fortification in Yeongnam Area has grown quantitatively and qualitatively enough to enable comprehensive analysis thanks to the recent accumulation of survey results. Accordingly, the characteristics of each construction process were analyzed for 6 sites of Silla and 7 sites of Gaya, and were compared by synthesizing them.
Both Silla and Gaya Organic matter such as the Leaf mat method and the designated pile were used in the low wetland or soft ground, and the frictional force was maximized by using a stepped or uneven surface stopping method on the slope. In particular, in the case of the embankment technique, by setting the soil of the narrow-type embankment technique through the cases of Wolseong and Bonghwangtoseong, there was a result of subdividing it into a narrow-type (A1) and a flat-type (A2).
Gaya is reinforced by adding a stone shaft part during the construction of the reinforcement of the wall or the finishing of the reinforcement wall of the construction of the wall. The longer the plate mass, which was created by repeated dismantling and re-installing the plate shaft structure, is another peculiarity of Gaya. This may be a primitive form of the phenomenon of increasing the length of the plate mass in the “Gidanseokryeol plate shaft fortress” stage that appears after the “pure plate shaft fortress”. Therefore, it is noteworthy that it is located as a technical and historical link in the transformation of the fortress construction technology.
Kant Düşüncesinde Metafiziğin Geçerli Bir Yönteme Kavuşturulması
Authors: Uğurlu Ahmet
Published: June 2024

Kant metafiziğin temel meseleleri olan Tanrı, ruh ve özgürlük gibi ideaların bilgisi ya da varlığı tartışmalarının bir çözüme kavuşması gerektiğini düşünür. Ona gelene kadar sorunun çözülmemesinin sebebi olarak da metafiziksel bilgiye kaynaklık eden felsefi bilginin matematikten temelde farklı olduğunun ortaya konulamamasını göstermektedir. Kant daha önceki filozoflardan farklı olarak matematiğin temellendiği önerme türünü sentetik apriori olduğunu iddia eder. Bu nedenle de, matematiksel önermelerin felsefi bilginin temellendiği analitik önermelerden yapı itibariyle farklı olduğunu düşünür. Kant ideaların teorik olarak ortaya konulamayacağını gösterdikten sonra bunların pratik alanda en yüksek iyinin gerçekleşmesinin nedenleri olarak varsayılması gerektiğini ortaya koymuştur. O, bu ideaların geçerli olduğu alanın pratik alan olduğunu göstermekle metafiziği bir yönteme kavuşturduğunu ve böylece aklın önüne geçilemez yönelimin sonucunda içine düştüğü yanılsamalardan kurtulduğunu düşünür. Bu çalışmamızda Kant’ın ideaların varlığına dair ortaya koyduğu metafiziksel yöntemin ne olduğu ve Kant’ın daha önceki filozofların yanılsamaya düşmesine sebep olarak gördüğü felsefi bilgi ile matematiksel bilgi arasındaki farklılıkların ne olduğu gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Algorithmic Conscience: An In-Depth Inquiry into Ethical Dilemmas in Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Nazeer Mohammed Yaseer
Published: June 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands at the forefront of technological innovation, promising to reshape industries and improve human lives. However, as AI technologies proliferate, so do the ethical dilemmas they pose. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the ethical considerations surrounding AI, delving into nuanced discussions on privacy, bias, job displacement, autonomous decision-making, and accountability. Drawing on an extensive body of literature, industry reports, and real-world examples, this review elucidates the intricate interplay between technological advancement and societal values. Privacy concerns loom large in the era of AI, as algorithms increasingly rely on vast troves of personal data to fuel their decision-making processes. From social media platforms to healthcare systems, the collection and analysis of sensitive information raise profound questions about consent, data ownership, and individual autonomy. For instance, a study by Acquisti and Grossklags (2006) found that individuals are often unaware of the extent to which their personal data is being used and shared, highlighting the need for robust privacy protections in AI systems. Bias and fairness represent another ethical minefield in the realm of AI, with algorithms often reflecting and amplifying societal prejudices present in training data. Research by Obermeyer et al. (2019) revealed racial bias in a widely used healthcare algorithm, leading to disparities in patient care. Such instances underscore the urgency of addressing bias in AI systems through careful data curation, algorithmic transparency, and community engagement. The specter of job displacement looms large as AI-driven automation threatens to reshape labor markets worldwide. According to a report by the World Economic Forum (2020), an estimated 85 million jobs may be displaced by AI by 2025, with significant implications for income inequality and social stability. Mitigating the adverse effects of automation requires proactive measures, such as investment in education and training programs, as well as policies to ensure a just transition for displaced workers. Autonomous decision-making by AI systems raises complex ethical questions regarding accountability and liability. The opacity of many AI algorithms complicates efforts to attribute responsibility for algorithmic outcomes, particularly in cases of harm or discrimination. For instance, the emergence of autonomous vehicles has sparked debates about moral decision-making in life-or- death scenarios. Ethical frameworks for AI accountability emphasize the importance of transparency, explainability, and human oversight in algorithmic decision-making processes.

Authors: Aol Lora
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study sought to investigate the role of arts and cultural events in community development and social cohesion.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the role of arts and cultural events in community development and social cohesion. Preliminary empirical review revealed that such events acted as catalysts for economic and social revitalization, enhancing local business and infrastructure through increased foot traffic and investment. They significantly boosted social cohesion by providing a platform for diverse groups to engage and share cultural experiences, thus strengthening community ties and civic engagement. Additionally, participation in these events was linked to improved mental health and personal well-being, as they offered emotional and psychological benefits that extended from communal to individual levels. The findings highlighted the necessity for ongoing support and investment in the arts, underscoring their integral role in fostering cohesive, vibrant, and resilient communities.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social Capital Theory, Cultural Development Theory and Urban Regeneration Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the role of arts and cultural events in community development and social cohesion. The study provided comprehensive recommendations across theoretical, practical, and policy realms. It advocated for the integration of cultural activities into theories of social capital and community dynamics, emphasizing their dual role in fostering both inclusivity and deeper social bonds. Practically, it offered guidance on making cultural events more accessible and engaging for diverse communities, while on the policy level, it pushed for increased governmental investment and the incorporation of arts into broader development strategies. The study also suggested innovative funding models, continuous program evaluation, and the use of cultural indicators to track and enhance the impact of arts on communities. Additionally, it underscored the importance of promoting and advocating for the benefits of cultural events to secure sustained support and recognition.

Authors: Addo-Nkrumah Betty K.
Published: June 2024

This study examines the Effectiveness of the Stajf Union’s Participation in Decision Making at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) using descriptive survey design. The population for the study consisted of Ghana Association of University Administrators (GA UA), University Teachers* Association of Ghana (UTAG), Senior Staff Association (SSA) and Tertiary Education Workers’ Union (TEWU) members. Census technique was used to select all the staff unions at UCC while proportional stratified sampling method was used to select one hundred and fifteen (115) respondents from the unions. William Kahn’s Theory of Employee Engagement was used as the theoretical basis for the study. Data were obtained using self-structured questionnaire and analysed using frequency and percentages. Results reveal that employee unions' participation in decision-making is less organised, union executives exercise control over union decisions and management is unwilling to share decision-making with employees. Additionally, management is identified as an authoritarian imposing decision on unions. Finally, management sees employees as antagonists because of the fear of the unknown on the part of employees. Consequently, the study recommends that the management of the University should interact with employees to deliberate on issues in the organisation and develop a policy to ensure all staff sentiments and opinions are subject to merit.

Kebinekaan global merupakan salah satu dimensi dari profil pelajar Pancasila. Dimensi kebinekaan global jika ditelaah lebih lanjut memiliki kaitan yang erat dengan sikap toleransi, namun Sikap toleransi tidak bisa tertanam dalam diri peserta didik dengan sendirinya tanpa ada bantuan dari orang lain. Maka diperlukan bantuan orang lain dalam mengelola kebinekaan global peserta didik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji layanan bimbingan dan konseling berpadukan nilai budaya Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Hasil yang didapatkan berupa 14 artikel yang memenuhi objek kajian, temuan penelitian yang relevan terkait kebinekaan global sebanyak 5 artikel, 5 artikel yang relevan dengan strategi bimbingan di era merdeka belajar, dan 4 artikel yang relevan dengan nilai-nilai kakawin Sutasoma.

Published: June 2024

Green purchase behavior has become a main agenda in most countries, especially after the introduction of the Sustainable Development Goals. Green purchase behavior is considered an act of protecting the environment for a better living. Green purchase behavior goes beyond self-benefits, it’s a commitment to the benefits of others and the environment. Hence, understanding what influences consumer green purchase behavior is considered of utmost importance and relevant in today’s sustainable development. This study aims to integrate environmental involvement and media exposure of environmental messages into the theory of planned behavior. The quantitative study among 346 young respondents from one of the top business schools in Malaysia revealed that attitude toward green products, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, environmental involvement, and media exposure has a significant positive relationship with green purchase behavior. The findings contribute to extending the literature on green purchase behavior specifically in the context of young consumers in Malaysia. Besides, the findings suggest a few practical implications which are discussed at the end of the article.

Reordenamentos da governamentalidade neoliberal e o neoconservadorismo em foco: efeitos na educação dos gêneros e sexualidades
Authors: Pereira Tamires Tolomeotti , Sierra Jamil Cabral
Published: June 2024

Com base em aportes pós-estruturalistas, bem como dos estudos de gênero e nos estudos foucaultianos, este artigo investiga como se deu o reordenamento de uma governamentalidade neoliberal e seu entrelaçamento com a governamentalidade neoconservadora, assim como seus efeitos no campo da educação, principalmente na educação dos gêneros e sexualidades. Os materiais empíricos cartografados, que incluem posts, artigos publicados no jornal Gazeta do Povo, entre outros, são discutidos frente à problematização de uma certa viabilidade moral-econômica forjada na desfeita parceria entre Estado e movimentos LGBTIA+ vivida entre 2003 e 2015, além do agenciamento entre neoconservadorismo e neoliberalismo, que se alinha a um projeto mais radical, implicado menos com o governamento da vida e com o gerenciamento de riscos e mais com a promoção da precariedade e da morte.
