The Secret Teachings of Ibn Sina on Sufism: Illuminating the Intersection of Philosophy and Mysticism
Authors: Shamsutdinova Nigina Karimovna
Published: September 2024

The ability to observe "olami akbar" (great world) or the macrocosm, through the eyes of the soul and to comprehend the inner essence of a Sufi through self-knowledge are two of the mysteries of Ibn Sina's teachings on Sufism that the author focuses on in particular. The article examines the secret knowledge of "botin"(inner) and its manifestation in the Sufi views of Ibn Sina. The author's research highlights not only Ibn Sina's contributions as a scientist but also his perspective on Sufism and how he evaluated the virtues of their actions. In his allegorical work "Risola ut-Tayr" Ibn Sina compares the human soul to the birds of paradise. They have to make a long journey through the vast expanses of Earth, Space and the Universe to a blissful Kingdom. By the way, he described in a figurative form the stages of the cognitive process that lead a person to understand the Truth and realize his important destiny. But this path of knowledge is not covered with heavenly flowers and roses. Therefore, Ibn Sina calls his followers - "Brothers in truth" to follow the following basic principles of knowledge. First and foremost, people who aspire to knowledge and excellence, divulge their trade secrets, and serve as mentors and teachers to others. Secondly, while keeping all of the doctrine's secrets hidden, the esoteric content of knowledge ought to be made available to the "general public" in an open manner. Language symbolism is the most effective means of disseminating knowledge. Thirdly, you should never take your accomplishments for granted. Any laziness is disastrous for science and knowledge.

Authors: Bushra Thazneem C S  , Ajitha K  , Ananda Lakshmy K N
Published: September 2024

Personality pertains to the different patterns of behaviour, cognitive processes, and emotional responses that distinguish individuals. It is composed of three primary components: physiological, psychological, and environmental factors. Personality is referred to as 'Prakriti’ expressing an individual's intrinsic qualities impacted by their genetic physical and mental composition, in the domain of Ayurveda.  The predominant Doshas present during conception, as well as those within the womb, ultimately shape a person's Prakriti. The Prakriti constitution signifies the unique equilibrium that exists between the Sharira (body) and the Manas (mind). Manasa Prakriti or the psychic expression or constitution, is the inherent mental disposition resulting from the union of Sukra (semen), Shonita (ovum), and Atma (soul). According to Ayurveda, the relative dominance of the three principal mind components referred to as Trigunas: Satwika (purity), Rajasika (movement), and Tamasika (inertia and dullness), also known as Maha prakriti, shapes a person's psychological constitution. Identifying and encouraging personal development, enhancing interpersonal skills, and   nurturing leadership qualities are all benefits of assessing an individual's Manasa prakriti. It also plays an important role in sustaining health and recommending appropriate therapeutic procedures. Furthermore, the prognosis is determined by an individual's Manas Prakriti type. In this review, an attempt is made to explore the Ayurvedic concept of Manasa Prakriti in light of contemporary temperament theory and personality disorders.

Authors:   The Olympia Schools, Gia Thai Nguyen Tran
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the impact of economic incentives on the purchase behavior of recycled fashion and footwear in Vietnam, addressing a critical gap in sustainable consumption research within emerging markets. Employing a mixed-methods approach, including a large-scale survey (n=1,023) and field experiments across 120 stores, we examine the effectiveness of various incentive types: discounts, loyalty programs, and government subsidies. Our findings reveal that while price discounts drive immediate sales increases (28.3% volume increase), loyalty programs foster superior long-term engagement (23.5% increase in repeat purchases) and higher average order values (31.7% increase). Government subsidies, particularly when combined with educational initiatives, also prove effective (27.3% sales volume increase). The study identifies key moderating factors, including environmental consciousness, age, and urban-rural location, which significantly influence the impact of these incentives. By providing empirical evidence on the nuanced effectiveness of economic incentives in promoting sustainable fashion choices, this research offers valuable insights for retailers, policymakers, and sustainability advocates. The findings contribute to bridging the intention-action gap in sustainable consumption and provide a foundation for developing targeted strategies to promote recycled fashion in emerging markets.

The SIMANJA Ecotourism Program was motivated by various problems that have existed for a long time and in turn the impact was felt when this program was first formed. The main problem in question is the rampant condition illegal logging in the mangrove forest. The types of innovation developed in the SIMANJA Program include types of social innovation including in community systems and organizations and increasing community cohesiveness by reducing society's individualist attitudes. The innovation element of the SIMANJA Program is the Innovation Design of Fish and Waste Sorting Sensors. Garbage is a problem that is often faced by Indonesian citizens, especially in managing waste. Waste that is not managed properly will cause the spread of disease easily and make the place smelly and dirty. In this research, an innovative design analysis of fish and waste sorting sensors was made using the SROI (Social Return on Investment) method. Trash caught by fishermen while fishing will be put into the conveyor, then the trash will be picked up automatically by the separator machine sensor, so that the output from this tool is fish without trash. Through the SROI study, it is hoped that it can help companies understand and manage the benefits of social, environmental and economic values that impact program implementation Environmental Social Responsibility or TJSL with the company's commitment to focus more on corporate responsibility for its environmental impact, such as environmental protection efforts, waste reduction, and sustainable use of natural resources through the Design of Fish and Waste Sorting Sensor Innovations.

Small, and Medium Enterprises(SMEs) play a crucial role in the national economy. The stability of the economy can be maintained through the tax compliance, which contributes significantly to economic stability. This study aims to examine the impact of tax morale and tax rates on tax compliance. Additionally, it investigates the role of taxpayer intention as a mediator between tax morale and tax rates on tax compliance. The research involved 100 SMEs respondents in the DKI Jakarta area and employed quantitative analysis using Smart-PLS as the analytical tool. The results show that tax morale significantly influences both tax intention and tax compliance. However, tax rates do not have a significant impact on tax intention or tax compliance. The role of intention as a mediating variable partially mediates the effect of tax morale on tax compliance, while intention does not mediate the effect of tax rates on tax compliance. This study contributes additional literature on tax compliance and provides practical insights for tax authorities, emphasizing the need to enhance tax morale through effective tax education to motivate taxpayers to fulfill their tax obligations.

Published: September 2024

This research examines the link between Indian companies' income and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings between 2014 and 2024. The study assesses how differences in ESG ratings affect financial performance using panel data regression analysis, which includes fixed effects and random effects models, as well as the Hausman test. The research provides a ten-year perspective on this dynamic by using sales data and ESG rankings that are collected from MoneyControl and Yahoo Finance, respectively. The results show a statistically significant negative relationship between revenue and ESG ratings, with a higher ESG score being correlated with lower income. This implies that even while businesses engage in sustainable practices, there's a chance that these initiatives won't always result in quick financial rewards. The research provides insights into the possible trade-offs between sustainability and profitability in the Indian environment and emphasizes the need of taking firm-specific aspects into account when assessing the effect of ESG activities.
Avaliação hemodinâmica e status oxidativo de éguas no período pré-parto
Authors:   , Marlière Júlia Parisi
Published: September 2024

A gestação é uma condição fisiológica delicada e diversos fatores podem colocar em risco a saúde da égua gestante e do feto. Sendo assim, buscou-se avaliar índices ultrassonográficos e marcadores sanguíneos e placentários de estresse oxidativo em éguas com gestações normais e anormais. Nove éguas mestiças da raça Brasileiro de Hipismo foram acompanhadas durante as últimas duas semanas de gestação. Os animais foram alocados em grupos normal ou anormal com base em achados clínicos e ultrassonográficos de anormalidade gestacional. O primeiro estudo comparou índices de pulsatilidade (PI) e resistividade (RI) da artéria uterina ipsilateral ao corno gestante. Valores de PI sofreram queda (P < 0,05) entre as semanas dentro do grupo normal, enquanto nenhuma alteração foi encontrada no grupo anormal. Nenhuma diferença significativa (P > 0,05) foi encontrada entre os grupos. No segundo estudo, foram realizadas colheitas diárias de sangue a partir de 320 dias de gestação até o dia do parto. As amostras foram centrifugadas e o soro armazenado a -20º C. Três amostras foram obtidas de cada placenta e armazenadas em nitrogênio líquido. Foram realizados os testes de atividade de catalase, atividade de superóxido dismutase, capacidade de redução férrica do plasma, quantificação de proteína carbonilada e determinação de malondialdeído (MDA). Éguas do grupo anormal apresentaram valores maiores (P < 0,05) para determinação de MDA nas amostras de sangue na semana que antecedeu os partos. Outros marcadores avaliados não apresentaram resultados significativos (P > 0,05). Os estudos produziram dados importantes acerca do status hemodinâmico e oxidativo de éguas durante as duas últimas semanas de gestação.
