Ibu dalam Al-Qur’an: Sebuah Kajian Tematik
Authors: Zulhamdani Zulhamdani , Masduki Mahfudz
Published: January 2018

This article discusses the Qur’an view on a mother. The theme is studied as language analysis based on the vocabulary of the Qur’an which represents the term mother such as al-umm , al-Walidah, wâlidaini and abawaini. The words were used to look at the factors that underline their primacy and privilege of a mother in that she gets priority in attitude and ethical attribution. The research found that some factors supported the primacy of the role of a mother. Those can emerge from mother’s direct physical contact with the child, so that it creates a strong emotional connection between mother and child. In addition, some mothers’ stories in the Qur’an, such as the story of Moses’ mother and Maryam, also support the emerging primacy of a mother. The Qur’an describes the inner instinct mother that gets worried and anxious when a child is separated from her. Likewise, it denotes mother’s hope of salvation to the soul of the child and descendants through efficacious prayer.[Artikel ini membahas seputar pandangan al-Qur’ân tentang seorang ibu. Tema ini dikaji berdasarkan kosakata al-Qur’ân yang mewakili istilah ibu seperti kata al-umm, al-wâlidah, wâlidaini dan abawaini sebagai analisis bahasa. Kata itu digunakan untuk melihat faktor yang mendasari adanya keutamaan dan keistimewaan terhadap sosok seorang ibu sehingga mendapat prioritas dalam bersikap dan beretika kepadanya. Berdasarkan pembahasan yang dilakukan, faktor yang mendukung keutamaan seorang ibu muncul dari peranan ibu yang secara langsung mengadakan kontak fisik dengan anak sehingga tercipta hubungan emosional yang kuat antara ibu dan anak. Selain itu, beberapa kisah ibu di dalam al-Qur’ân seperti kisah ibu Musa dan ibu Maryam juga mendukung adanya keutamaan yang muncul dari seorang ibu. Al-Qur’ân menggambarkannya dengan naluri batin ibu yang khawatir dan gelisah ketika seorang anak terpisah dari ibunya dan juga adanya harapan keselamatan terhadap jiwa anak dan keturunannya melalui doa yang mustajab dari seorang ibu.]

The challenge on the Qur’anic studies will never be end. For many centuries, The Qur’an always attracted many people attention all over the world, to treat or to examine the truth; whether the Qur’an as the word of God or the word of Muhammad ?. This is therefore, starting from that point, This paper particularly will attempt to explores a new trend of Qur’anic studies by the emerging of Revisionist Western scholarship theories of Islamic origins. In their analysis shown that the documentary sources or the beginnings of historical writing in the Islamic tradition must be considered in controversies. One might argues that the Qur’an contains several different kinds of material, hypothesizes that different parts of the Qur’an originated in different communities, some or all of which, were located not in Arabia, but in Iraq or Syria. Moreover, the analysis come to the conclusion  that the Qur’anic text as we now know coalesced only slowly and does not assume final form until the late second/eighth century or even later. Taking the notion that the traditions about Islamic origins are the products of long and partly oral evolution. The aim of this paper then will describe the fact on how the revisionist western scholarship try to reconfigurate the reliable information about Islamic origin.[Tantangan studi al-Qur’an tidak akan pernah berakhir. Selama berabad-abad lamanya, al-Qur’an selalu menjadi perhatian banyak orang di seluruh penjuru dunia. Guna menguji kebenaran, yakni apakah ia benar-benar firman Tuhan atau kah perkataan Muhammad ? oleh karena itu, berangkat dari point ini, tulisan ini secara spesifik akan mengeksplorasi tren terkini tentang studi al-Qur’an dengan memunculkan teori kemunculan Islam oleh kesarjanaan Barat Revisionis. Dalam analisis mereka menunjukkan bahwa sumber documenter atau sejarah awal penulisan al-Qur’an mengalami kontroversi. Ada yang beranggapan bahwa al- Qur’an berisi beberapa macam perbedaan materi atau redaksi, sebagian dari itu berasal dari perbedaan komunitas. Sebagian lainnya berargumen bahwa al-Qur’an turun bukan di jazirah Arab, melainkan di Iraq dan Syria. analisis sampai pada kesimpulan bahwa teks Al-Qur’an seperti yang kita tahu sekarang perlahan-lahan mengalami bentuk fibalnya kecuali pada akhir abad kedua/kedelapan atau bahkan kemudian. Atas dasar itu, kemunculan Islam (al-Qur’an) adalah produk evolusi yang berasal dari manusia jauh belakangan. Singkatnya, Tulisan ini akan mendeskripsikan realitas tentang bagaimana kesarjanaan Revisionis mencoba menata ulang data yang tersedia tentang kemunculan Islsam (al-Qur’an).]

Published: January 2018

Islamic Finance has evolved over the past few decades, and stands at over a trilliondollars today. At the foundations of Islamic finance lay the concept of risk sharing, and the purest forms of it in the modern day finance is equity investments. The evidence of Islamic investors pursing equity investments in reality is thin. Multitude of reasons are attributed to this low participation, mainly revolving around lack of empirical proof of Islamic investments being a reliable and steady return alternative. This study is an attempt to study the volatilities and correlations with the conventional global equity indices utilizing Multivariate GARCH Dynamic Conditional Correlations (MGARCH DCC) method. The findings provide an interesting angleto our study, where there is a significant downwards trend in the correlations during the crisis era. This provides substance to the argument that Islamic investors would experience lesser downside in economic crisis. This study further dwells into the linkage of Islamic indices with global financial indices to study if financial sector exclusion from Islamic indices benefits theinvestors. The findings are positive, with lower correlations and that to reducing in the recent global crisis. Islamic finances core philosophy is equity based investments and this study is a humble attempt to empirically substantiate its benefits.

Abstract

In the world of education, students who have a high learning interest can experience a decrease in interest in learning. One example in mathematics learning. If they are taught by the teacher in a tedious and cheery way, then the students will get bored quickly in accepting the learning in class. Preferably, students who have low motivation, can experience increased interest in learning if guided by a teacher who knows how to communicate and think well to the students. Prophetic thinking is thinking according to what the prophet teaches or does. Education with prophetic perspective means studying education as a great nation program that has a predictive power to a more brilliant future conducted by someone called a prophet who is an early speech or pioneer who proclaims himself and speaks the future. in teaching Mathematics lesson which is a lesson that is needed by the students as their provision to live life in society later. Not to mention the paradaban of our nation at this time so badly, so we seem to have lost identity as a dignified nation, so it is necessary to return the level of thinking as taught by the Nabi Muhammad SAW that we often call Profetic thinking, which actually was already taught by parents each before entering elementary school.

DINAMIKA IDEOLOGISASI GENDER DALAM KEPUTUSAN-KEPUTUSAN RESMI MUHAMMADIYAH
Authors: Dzuhayatin Siti Ruhaini
Published: January 2018

Gender is one of the core dimensions upholds the collective identity which is noticeably pertinence to the context of Muhammadiyah known as the modern Islamic organization in Indonesia. As the continuum of the above selection of dimensions, gender ideology of Javanese priyayi which reflects senior junior partnership is made available as the stock of knowledge for its identity, not only governs the micro-context of family relation but more obviously operates as the backbone structure of the organization. The endurance of such a structure is laid by the background of its founders who were mainly the elites of the Javanese santri-priyayi in its inception era and politically sustained by the macro-structure of the Indonesian state which has been primarily dominated  by the Javanese priyayi . This reciprocal influence is made possible for such a gender regime to operate within this organization over a hundred year existence with the legitimacy of religious teachings which is arbitrarily a selective mechanism of normative ground.

POLA DAN LOGIKA NIKAH SIRRI DALAM KULTUR MASYARAKAT MADURA
Authors: Faiz Abd Aziz
Published: January 2018

Sirri marriage does not seem to be a problem in Maduran society, even when the  women are often harmed during or after the marriage. This apparent indifference can be explained by analyzing the cultural logic of Maduran society, among them through the patriarchal relations where women are ignorant of public administration issues, the view that women must be protected, herded and made into an asset of men’s pride. The paradigms regarding virginity (parabhan) and spinsters, and the fiqh-based religious reasoning apparent in Maduran society exacerbates the problem.  There are several explanations for the patterns of sirri marriages in Madura:  poverty, ignorance or lack of information on behalf of the women, the practice of arranged marriages (ajuduagi) and polygamy. Sirri marriages in Madura leads to child laborers supporting families, underage widows due to incapacity of handling domestic conflicts and hindrances for women from accessing their rights in many aspects due to their dependence on men.
JILBAB DALAM HADIS: Menelusuri Makna Profetik dari Hadis
Authors: Marhumah Ema
Published: January 2018

Nowadays the meaning of the jilbab has shifted and become somewhat misinterpreted. Understandings of the  purpose of the jilbab began with Tauhid, the principle teaching of Islam. The Tauhid teaches the true meaning of devotion to God or godliness, and also the true meaning of how to be human. The Tauhid teachings bring about recognition of sameness before God, and the obligation to respect other people without discrimination based on differences in sex, gender, ethnicity or religion. In Indonesia, the jilbab is not only worn as a form of identity but as a fashion accessory. It is not clear whether the use of the terms jilbab or hijab are to be interpreted as head coverings to the chest for women or not. For this reason, there is a need for a comprehensive understanding of the terms to be taken from a holy book, in this case the Al’Qur’an and hadis, so that there is no longer a distortion in meaning. A full understanding of the verses and hadis in relation to the jilbab and the hijab is not limited to symbolic use. Whether of not the use of the veil is merely symbolic, it must be considered in the current context of the rise of capitalist religiosity.

Authors: Tvrdá Eva , Ďuračka Michal , Halenár Marek , Kántor Attila
Published: January 2018

This study assessed the potential efficiency of selected biologically active substances on the motility behavior of rabbit spermatozoa subjected to in vitro induced E. faecalis contamination. Semen samples were collected from 10 male rabbits and the presence of E. faecalis was confirmed using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry. For the in vitro experiments rabbit spermatozoa were resuspended in the presence of 0,3 McF E. faecalis and different concentrations of selected biomolecules (resveratrol - RES, quercetin - QUE, curcumin - CUR, epicatechin - EPI, isoquercitrin - IZO). Sperm motility was assessed using the computer-aided sperm analysis at 0h, 2h, 4h, 6h and 8h. The presence of E. faecalis significantly decreased the motility (P<0.001) when compared to the untreated Control starting at 2h and maintaining this negative impact throughout the entire in vitro culture. Meanwhile, the motility was significantly higher in the experimental samples subjected to E. faecalis together 5 μmol/L RES (P<0.05), 10 μmol/L QUE (P<0.05) as well as 1 μmol/L (P<0.01) and 10 μmol/L CUR (P<0.05) when compared to the Positive Control (4h). No biomolecule was able to maintain the motion comparable to the Negative Control, and none was effective against the rapid decline of sperm motility caused by the presence of E. faecalis during later stages of the in vitro experiment (6h and 8h). We may conclude that RES, QUE and CUR may provide a selective advantage to spermatozoa in the presence of E. faecalis, particularly during short-term rabbit semen handling.

Design Tool for a Didactic Project Related to Internal Combustion Engines
Authors: Racovitza Alexandru , Radu Bogdan
Published: January 2018

Referring to the content of a semester or a graduating period project during the Mechanical Engineering studies, two types of activities are to be highlighted: the first one is to approximate the assembly components dimensions and to check the stress values they are confronted to and the second one is to give them the final shape with all their details, whether or not opposing to the operating efforts. In order to obtain a better project is necessary that this process develops under multiple iterations, consecutively modifying certain dimensions and visualizing the resulting geometry. Starting from these considerations the authors have projected a calculation and visualization system of the geometry of the components forming the mechanism of an internal combustion engines. This system contains data and model files under a parametric form with reciprocate connection to visualize the resulting form after each dimension modification and its verification to the efforts. This method allows to stream as numerous as necessary iterations in identifying the right dimensions and the appropriate forms.

Authors: Stoica Eduard Alexandru , Bogoslov Ioana Andreea
Published: January 2018

In the absence of globally coherent specifications and standards, digitalization would never have spread across the world in such a huge extent as it did. The availability of digital technologies has significantly increased in the last decade, shifting the focus of policy-makers from on the diffusion of these technologies to their usage by governments, companies and also individuals. Actually, digital technologies and internet became the main forces for transforming the modern world and its economy. Activating within a turbulent environment, Romania faced many challenges in the last three years, but it managed to perform better from period to period. Relative to the past performance, Romania registers a higher rate of digitalization, benefiting from coverage of rapid broadband connections, mostly in urban areas. This made Romania having the second highest share of subscriptions within the EU in 2016. Romania has developed increasingly fast over the last years and reached a position closer to the EU average, which translates into a positive evolution. While positive, the obtained results are not enough to compensate the country’s digital skills deficit.

Published: January 2018

Water is the most essential element in life, it is vital for our survival and it has a crucial role in our ecosystem. Water has many functions, such as firstly for human health, water makes up 2/3 of our body and we cannot survive without water. Secondly for plant health, water is necessary for the transfer nutrients facilitate the growth of plants. Thirdly for animal health, just like for human, water is necessary to maintain the life cycle and survival of the animals. Furthermore is for the earth, water keeps the earth temperature stable, finally water is also used in many sectors to support human life, such as in transportation, agriculture, industries, technologies, etc With the increasing population of the world, innovations are required to maximize the existing water resources; because as the demand for food continues to increase, the source of water remains the same. Adequate funding from Indonesian Government is required to improve access to fresh water and also for the sewage treatment to enable the recycling of water and hence an efficient usage of water. An efficient usage of water is very important and it must be socialized and made aware to the public. The role of the government is to monitor and develop a sustainable usage of water, especially for irrigation in Indonesia rural’s area. In small islands, suitable water infrastructures must be developed to give a positive impact to the people’s life.
Stranger-ness and Belonging in a Neighbourhood WhatsApp Group
Authors: Dixon Natalie
Published: January 2018

The messaging application WhatsApp is often adopted in urban neighbourhoods to distribute and discuss information as part of neighbourhood watch programmes. In this context, certain notions of information sharing and the cherishing this implies, are often entangled with ideals of protection in the neighbourhood. Using the case study of an enclosed neighbourhood in Johannesburg, this essay draws on theories of affect and mobility to introduce the concept of affective mooring. That is, that a neighbourhood WhatsApp group constitutes an affective mooring-an established practice and point of fixity-that generates a sense of being held in a community through feelings of collective presence and safety. Notably, these feelings of presence and safety are hinged on acts of resistance and alienation towards strangers. In this way, WhatsApp as an affective mooring in the neighbourhood is also a site for negotiating ideals of belonging.
Whimsical Bodies and Performative Machines: Aesthetics and Affects of Robotic Art
Authors: Pullen Treva Michelle
Published: January 2018

This article explores the ways in which robots’ behaviours are designed and curated to elicit reactions from their human counterparts. Through the work of artists such as Nam June Paik, Steve Daniels, Edward Ihnatowicz and Norman White, a survey of robotic art illustrates a particular aesthetic and behavioural language that is non-threatening, animalistic, cute, quaint and whimsical. Considering the artists’ programming of behaviours and construction of aesthetics, the use of animal behavioural modelling, and developments in social robotics, this article unpacks how meaning is inscribed onto robots and in return how affect is transmitted to human viewers. By exploring the whimsical bodies, performative machines and networked nonhumans brought forth in robotic artworks, this article draws out how aesthetic and behavioural languages of robotic art play into peoples’ emotional and affective encounters with them.
Reclaiming Melancholy by Emotion Tracking? Datafication of Emotions in Health Care and at the Workplace
Authors: Janasik-Honkela Nina
Published: January 2018

Since the time between the world wars, the language of emotions has been dominated by the discourse of therapy, starting a style of emotional expression and practice. Somewhat paradoxically, at the same time as a new professional group emerged with authority to pronounce on all matters emotional as part of the unfolding of modern emotional capitalism, the categories of psychic suffering have witnessed a veritable emptying out of emotions. Currently, the emphasis is placed, rather, on various kinds of lack of behaviour. For instance, “melancholy” as an existential category for strong and energy-intense reactions to all kinds of loss, has been squeezed into the clinical category of “depression,” literally meaning “pressing down.” Negative emotional states have, however, recently appeared in many self-tracking activities, including in the “datafication” of emotions in the form of the Finnish application Emotion Tracker. In this article, I ask whether this introduction of self-tracking into the context of health care and the workplace has written any differences into the current practices of emotional capitalism. My findings suggest that by placing itself in the opaque middle ground between professional psychology and ordinary life, Emotion Tracker creates a new space where the rich tapestry of melancholy is again allowed to figure.
Ethnicity in Space and Everyday Practice: an Outline of a General Framework with Examples from New Mexico
Authors: Mácha Přemysl
Published: January 2018

Studies of ethnicity have emphasized ethnicity’s social, processual and event-like character. While they have been very successful in explaining change, they have failed to account for the durability and renewed importance of many group identities. We argue that taking into account spatial and embodied dimensions of ethnicity, we can explain continuity without falling back to primordialism and essentialism. The most important spatial factors in explaining the strength of ethnic identities include spatial separation, the built environment, generative processes associated with the built environment, performances and embodied practices, and the linguistic landscape. The article provides an outline for a general framework for the analysis of ethnicity, using examples from New Mexico as illustrations of individual arguments.
Selected Issues Illustrating Duality in Relation to Lakota Identity
Authors: Perlíková Klára
Published: January 2018

The article deals with selected issues which - as we perceive it - can provide an insight into what the Lakota consider essential and generic for their self-identification with their culture (What does it mean to be Lakota?). The study is based on observations gained during fieldwork research, and issues in the text reflect data collected within this period. As a result, we examine the following issues: tribal museums in Lakota reservations, Native perception of time, selected issues of Lakota religion, and Lakota relation to the land and environment they live in and to the world on a global scale. We believe that in all these issues we can also recognize an underlying dual structure which - in its most general meaning - could be understood as a dichotomy of Native and Western/Euro-American worldview and mind-set. The question was how non-Native elements distort or affect the system of Lakota culture. In the section on tribal museums and perception of time we have shown that circular way of thinking about the course of the world which is, according to Donald Fixico (FIXICO 2009), characteristic of all Native cultures affects the way tribal museums organize and present their exhibitions. In this case, the influence of the Native/Euro-American dualism does not have to be necessarily negative. The same can be said about another example where the dichotomy projects itself - in the issue of Lakota relation to the land or Unci Maka (Grandmother Earth): Though Lakota religion and identity is regionally bound (BUCKO 2008), their concern for this integral part of their Native-self can surprisingly well fit into the global issue of protection of environment. On the case of Lakota struggle to stop construction of a KXL pipeline1 we demonstrate how the same (Native/Euro-American) duality interacts and through which the Lakota (Native, regionallybound) voice is strengthened by its non-Native counterpart and vice versa.
