FIQIH SOSIAL : ANTARA FORMALISTIK FIQIH DAN TUJUAN FIQIH, UPAYA DALAM MEMBANGUN KARAKTER UMMAT
Authors: Rosita Desyi , Masitoh Imas , Aminudin Aminudin , Nurazizah Wafiq
Published: October 2024

Fiqih sering diartikan sebagai upaya manusia, yang melibatkan proses penalaran, baik pada tataran teoritis maupun praktis, dalam memahami, menjabarkan dan mengelaborasi hukum-hukum agama. Dengan menyebut manusiawi dimaksudkan untuk membedakan fiqih dengan syariat. Yang disebut terakhir ini dipahami secara longgar untuk merujuk agama islam atau hukum tuhan sebagaimana dikandung dalam korpus-korpus wahyu tanpa melibatkan tangan-tangan manusia. Dengan kata lain, fiqih adalah refleksi dari syariat. Karena fiqih tumbuh dari hasil istinbath (penggalian hukum), fatwa dan ijtihad, diperlukan perangkat tertentu yang mengatur pencapaian produk-produk fiqih, yang dikenal dengan ushul fiqih (legal theory) dan qawa’id fiqhiyyah. Fiqih sosial juga sangat erat kaitannya dengan kemaslahatan manusia dalam bingkai maqashid syariah. Tujuan dari fiqih ialah bukan hanya sekedar pendekatan atau hubungan individu terhadap Allah, melainkan hubungan individu dengan masyarakat sekitar untuk menjalin silaturahmi dan membangun rasa kemanusiaan dan sosial yang tinggi. Selain itu, menumbuhkan karakter itu juga adalah sifat-sifat kejiwaan akhlak dan budi pekerti. Pembentukan karakter dalam islam juga bisa disebut akhlakul karimah, yang dimana bisa mengendalikan diri dari keinginan-keinginan yang sifatnya positif maupun sebaliknya. Tujuan fiqih itu sendiri dalam kehidupan sehingga menjadikan islam secara khaffah (sempurna), serta sebagai pedoman dikehidupan sehari-hari.

Published: October 2024

Understanding the perpetuation of cultural and religious traditions among Banyumasan migrant communities presents a multifaceted challenge, necessitating a profound comprehension of Banyumasan cultural and religious norms, the migratory journey to regions such as Lampung and Kalimantan, and the intricate dynamics of cultural transmission. Meticulous research yields the following conclusions: Firstly, Banyumasan culture encompasses communities in Banjarnegara, Purbalingga, Banyumas, Cilacap, Kebumen, Tegal, and Brebes, characterized by the prevalent Ngapak dialect of Javanese. Rooted in language, values, traditions, and rituals, Banyumasan culture reflects egalitarianism, directness, and harmony, emblematic of the wong cilik community. Secondly, a significant number of Banyumasan individuals historically migrated to various parts of Indonesia, notably Lampung and Kalimantan, initially for colonial-era labor needs and later to alleviate population pressures and enhance economic prospects during the New Order era. Thirdly, migration fosters extensive interactions between Banyumasan migrants and host communities, involving a nuanced negotiation process wherein individuals balance preserving their cultural heritage and adapting to new surroundings. The outcome depends on effective communication strategies to convey Banyumasan cultural identity amidst diverse host cultures.

Published: October 2024

Psychological well-being is defined as enhancing positive states and reducing negative states (Ryff, 1989; Ryff & Keyes, 1995). According to Ryff (1989), psychological well-being encompasses an individual's quality of life to other social units. It is characterized by two prominent varieties. The first refers to the extent to which people experience positive emotions and feelings of happiness. Sometimes this aspect of psychological well-being is referred to as subjective well-being (Diener, 2000). This type of psychological well-being is “Hedonic”, which is normally used to refer to the subjective feelings of happiness (Robertson & Cooper, 1999). It comprises two components, an affective component (high positive affect and low negative affect) and a cognitive component (satisfaction with life) (Robertson & Cooper, 1999). It is proposed that an individual experiences happiness when positive affect and satisfaction with life are both high (Carruthers & Hood, 2004).

Laws and Issues in Protecting Children from Sexual Exploitation: A Case Study in Thailand
Authors: Sriwiset Ploypailin
Published: October 2024

Today, violations of children’s rights have become more intense and have taken on new forms. Child protection laws provide a legal framework designed to shield children from harm and abuse, especially sexual abuse. These laws define the rights and responsibilities of parents, the state, and others involved with children. The objectives of this research are 1) to study the legal measures regarding child protection laws and issues related to the sexual exploitation of children in Thailand, compared to international and foreign laws, and 2) to explore ways to amend and improve Thai laws on child protection from sexual exploitation of children in Thailand to align with international standards. The study found that significant child protection laws in Thailand include: 1) the Child Protection Act, B.E. 2546 (2003), 2) the Anti-Human Trafficking Act, B.E. 2551 (2008), and 3) the Domestic Violence Victims Protection Act, B.E. 2550 (2007). However, due to various factors and ambiguous definitions, the child protection laws have not fully achieved their objectives, allowing offenders to receive lighter punishments. Therefore, this article examines ways to amend and improve Thai child protection laws regarding sexual exploitation of children to be consistent with international law. The recommendations on legal action can be divided into three approaches: legal measures and child protection issues regarding sexual exploitation of children, child protection issues from sexual exploitation, and measures to suppress those who sexually exploit children.

Finite Element Model Calibration with Surrogate Model-Based Bayesian Updating: A Case Study of Motor FEM Model
Authors: Zhang Guojun , Zhou Tong
Published: October 2024

This paper introduces an advanced methodology for the calibration of Finite Element Models (FEM) utilizing a surrogate model-based Bayesian updating framework. The approach is exemplified through a case study on motor design, where precise FEM calibration is essential for predicting and optimizing motor performance. Traditional calibration techniques are often computationally expensive due to the iterative nature of the simulation process. To mitigate this, the proposed method integrates surrogate models to approximate FEM simulations, significantly reducing the computational burden without sacrificing accuracy. Bayesian updating is then employed to iteratively refine the surrogate model by incorporating new data, thereby enhancing prediction accuracy. This dual approach not only accelerates the calibration process but also ensures a high level of precision, making it highly suitable for complex engineering applications requiring both efficiency and reliability. The case study underscores the effectiveness of this methodology, demonstrating its potential to streamline the design process in motor development and other FEM-dependent engineering fields. The findings suggest that the surrogate model-based Bayesian updating approach achieves robust calibration with significantly fewer simulations, thereby optimizing both time and computational resources.

Authors: Park Craig
Published: October 2024

In the evolving landscape of hybrid work environments, organisations face the challenges of bridging the gap between remote and in-office employees and attracting a younger workforce while adapting to the rapid pace of technological change. This paper presents a comprehensive strategy for creating effective hybrid workspaces prioritising connectivity, collaboration and digital equity. Central to this strategy is integrating appreciative inquiry principles with agile process management tools, aiming to foster a culture of innovation and inclusion. The demographic shift towards a younger, tech-savvy workforce, alongside the continuous advancement in communication technologies, necessitates a new approach to workplace design and technology integration. The paper outlines a roadmap for organisations to navigate the complexities of the hybrid work model, ensuring a connected and empowered workforce.

Social networks are essential digital marketing tools that allow brands to build relationships with consumers. However, there is little evidence of their value in the field of sports. This study investigates what motivates handball fans to interact with handball organisations in four different countries, identifying digital communication patterns, and exploring the role of Instagram as a tool for participation. The paper focuses on one handball league from each of the study territories, namely: Liga Asobal (Spain), Liga Andebol (Portugal), Ligue Nationale de Handball (France) and Liqui Moly HBL (Germany). Using a sample of Instagram posts made over a three-month period, the study identifies trends in digital communication strategies, as well as peculiarities. The results indicate that all four leagues had a daily presence on Instagram, although ASOBAL and ANDEBOL showed significant difference in their use, participation and success on Instagram compared with HBL and NHL. The study concludes that the opportunities for interaction offered by social platforms and other means of two-way communication are not being fully exploited.

Background: Serum CK-MB and cardiac troponin are important diagnostic predictors used to determine the prognosis of patients with acute coronary disorders (ACD). However, the effects of these biomarkers on hospital lethality remain underexplored. Objective: This research aimed to determine the effects of consistent and inconsistent CK-MB and troponin levels on hospital mortality in ACD patients. Methodology: This comparative study was conducted on patients with confirmed ACD admitted to a tertiary care hospital from January 2023 till June 2024. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the consistency of their CK-MB and troponin levels during hospitalization: consistently elevated or normal biomarkers versus those with variable levels. Hospital lethality was defined as mortality occurring during the hospital stay. SPSS version 26 was used for statistical analysis. The study utilized multivariate logistic regression to ascertain independent factors that are associated with hospital death. For continuous variables, t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests were employed, and for categorical data, chi-square tests. Results: There were 500 patients in the trial; 250 were in the inconsistent group and 250 were in the consistent group. In the inconsistent group, the hospital fatality rate was 18%, while in the consistent group it was 10% (p < 0.05). Variability in biomarker levels was an independent predictor of higher hospital mortality, according to multivariate analysis (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.5–4.2). Conclusion: Inconsistent CK-MB and troponin levels were associated with higher hospital mortality in ACD patients. Monitoring and stabilizing these biomarkers may be essential for improving patient outcomes and guiding therapeutic interventions in acute care settings.
