Authors: Nurgesang Faisal Arif , Dzikrullah Abdullah Ahmad
Published: December 2022

Budidaya jamur tiram menjadi usaha yang sangat menjanjikan akhir-akhir ini. Selain memiliki nutrisi yang tinggi jika dikonsumsi, budidaya jamur tiram tidak memerlukan lahan yang luas dan adaptif terhadap lingkungan. Usaha budidaya jamur milik Bapak Kholid di daerah Tamanwinangun Kebumen merupakan salah satu contohnya. Usaha yang sudah dirintis beberapa tahun tersebut, ternyata terdapat beberapa kendala budidaya jamur khususnya dalam penanganan hama serta proses pemasaran. Setelah dilakukan observasi beberapa kali, diperoleh beberapa solusi alternatif yaitu proses pengemasan yang baik menggunakan plastik kedap oksigen untuk mengurangi proses oksidasi jamur, pemisahan jamur yang terkontaminasi hama secara berkala, dan pemasaran menggunakan media sosial dan website. Untuk memfasilitasi solusi tersebut, dilakukan penyuluhan secara teoritis maupun praktik yang dihadiri oleh beberapa peserta. Hasil dari penyuluhan tersebut peserta dapat mempraktikkan langsung proses pengemasan dan memasarkan melalui website dan media sosial.

Authors: Victoria Marcelina , Purwianti Lily
Published: December 2022

Di tengah masyarakat, saat ini perkembangan bisnis di Indonesia cukup terbilang sangat pesat khususnya bidang kuliner. Potensi bisnis kuliner dapat dilakukan di pasar tradisional, pinggir jalan hingga restoran modern. Selain dapat dilakukan secara konvensional, bisnis kuliner ini dapat dijalankan dengan memanfaatkan kemajuan teknologi yang semakin pesat yaitu digital. Melalui digital marketing, pembisnis dapat mempromosikan produknya mengingat penggunaan digitalisasi dapat menghemat bisnis, baik dari segi promosi (pemasaran produk) maupun biaya yang akan dikeluarkan.  Meski begitu,  banyak masyarakat Indonesia khususnya para pelaku UMKM, yang masih kurang pemahaman mengenai digitalisasi dan potensi media sosial sebagai sarana promosi. Akan tetapi, tidak sedikit pelaku UMKM yang sudah melakukan promosi melalui digital, namun ide ataupun konten promosi yang terapkan masih kurang, sehingga promosi yang dilakukan tidak mencapai target yang diharapkan oleh pelaku usaha UMKM itu sendiri. Salah satu UMKM tersebut adalah Board Games Cafe yang terletak di Jalan Permata Baloi Ruko Permata Niaga Regency Blok AA Nomor 6-8, Kota Batam. Melalui hasil rancangan strategi promosi yang telah dibuat kepada pemilik usaha Board Games, maka penerapan straregi digital marketing yang dijalankan berupa direct marketing melalui sosial media khususnya Instagram  telah berjalan dengan lancar dan membantu pemilik usaha dalam mengatasi permasalahan yang dihadapi

Authors: Susriyanti Susriyanti , Yulasmi Yulasmi , Yeni Fitri
Published: December 2022

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini merupakan pemaparan dari hasil yang penelitian yang telah kami lakukan sebelumnya. Pemaparan ini dimaksudkan agar hasil penelitian yang kami temukan dapat bermanfaat untuk memberikan kontribusi positif bagi mitra kami yaitu BPR Mentari Saiyo Simpang Empat Pasaman karena temuannya berhubungan dengan lingkup kerja mereka sebagai salah satu pengelola perbankan syariah. Metode pengabdian yang kami lakukan adalah dengan cara melakukan presentasi dan mengadakan forum grup diskusi untuk mendiskusikan masalah-masalah yang dianggap relavan. Permasalahan yang dipaparkan berdasarkan hasil temuan penelitian kami adalah tentang “Peran Literasi Keuangan Syariah, Kecerdasan Spiritual, Dan Persepsi Dalam Membentuk Perilaku Masyarakat Untuk Keputusan Penggunaan Produk Bank Syariah”. Hasil pemaparan menyatakan bahwa literasi keuangan syariah tidak begitu berperan dalam membentuk perilaku untuk keputusan pembelian produk bank syariah. Sedangkan kecerdasan spiritual dan persepsi berperan di dalam membentuk perilaku masyarakat untuk keputusan pembelian produk bank syariah. Ternyata di dalam forum diskusi mitra mengungkapkan bahwa kondisi tersebut memang terjadi seperti itu pada bank mereka. Dan mereka juga mengalami kendala dalam melakukan promosi karena keterbatasan sumber daya organisasi yang mereka miliki, baik dari segi keuangan, mesin, tekknologi maupun sumber daya manusianya. Kami memberikan solusi bahwa mereka bisa memberdayakan kemampuan melek teknologi dari para mahasiswa yang magang di sana untuk melakukan promosi melalui jaringan media social yang marak saat ini seperti tiktok, whatsapp, Instagram, dll. Mereka bisa menggunakan berbagai jaringan social yang ada seiring dengan kemajuan teknologi  dan banyak dilihat masyarakat tanpa harus mengeluarkan biaya yang besar. Sedangkan untuk keterbatasan sumber daya manusianya otomatis perusahaan harus banyak melakukan ataupun mengikuti diklat untuk menambah kemampuan edukasi maupun skill dari para karyawan mereka. Alhamdulillah, dengan adanya kegiatan pengabdian ini, mitra sangat berterimakasih dan mendapatkan manfaat terhadap perusaan mereka.
Kota, Waktu, Puisi
Authors: Goenawan Mohamad
Published: December 2022

Ketika individu berubah jadi himpunan, manusia jadi acuh tak acuh kepada kefanaannya sendiri yang sunyi. Waktu tak menimbulkan gentar. Kefanaan itu kini hampir sepenuhnya berada dengan sebuah jarak, di luar diri. Waktu yang menggerogoti usia datang seperti gigi yang gemertak. Orang-orang hanya pasif. Pada gilirannya, kepadatan dan mobilitas menyentuh tempat tinggal itu sendiri. Ketika sebuah ruang tinggal kian dialami sebagai komoditas – yang nilai gunanya telah diubah jadi nilai tukar --  maka keadaan transit jadi lengkap. Tapi justru di dalam keadaan itulah terjadi apa yang oleh Walter Benjamin disebut sebagai “fantasmagoria dari yang-interior”. Menurut Goenawan Mohamad, dalam tiap keadaan yang tak stabil dan mengalir lekas dari luar, ada dorongan hati manusia untuk menemukan yang tetap dan mengklaim kembali sifat permanen dalam tiap ruang privat.
Surealisme (Pop) Yogya —dengan Ilustrasi Heri Dono, Roby Dwi Antono, dan Fandi Angga Saputra
Authors: Wahyudin
Published: December 2022

Tulisan ini mengungkapkan hasil penelitian Wahyudin mengenai tren surealisme yang melanda seni rupa Yogyakarta akhir-akhir ini. Dalam pendalamannya, Wahyudin membedakan surealisme pop saat ini tidak berkaitan dengan tren surealisme sebelumnya yang pernah terjadi pada tahun ‘80-an yang diwakili Ivan Sagita dan Heri Dono. Surealisme yang sekarang terjadi di Yogya bersandarkan pada gerakan seni Lowbrow atau fenomena seni surealisme pop di Barat, Amerika Serikat dan Eropa, dengan tokoh-tokoh panutan, antara lain Robert Williams, Kenny Scharf, Mark Ryden, Jason Freeny, dan Camilla d’Errico -dan mengombinasakannya dengan jurus-jurus estetika Yoshitomo Nara, Takashi Murakami, serta kartun-komik-animasi Negeri Samurai. Dalam memahami surealisme pop yang baru ini, Wahyudin meminjam kerangka Simon Morley seperti yang pernah ditulis dalam Seven Keys to Modern Art (2019).
Common Commercial Policy and Member States’ Playing Fields
Authors: Nagy Csongor
Published: December 2022

This chapter analyzes the playing field afforded by the EU exclusive competence over commercial policy to the Member States to develop an independent policy in relations to extra-EU trade. First, the chapter pres- ents the primary elements of the EU’s ‘constitutional authorization.’ particularly regarding investments, where the EU is less omnicompetent. Second, the nature of international economic relations is presented. This section shows that the focus of international commercial policy shifted from traditional restrictions of trade to regulatory trade barriers. Third, the elements of the EU’s commercial policy and the Member States residual powers are presented to elucidate how the Member States may engage in commercial policy notwithstanding the exclusive EU competence. This section shows that, on the one hand, the margins of commercial policy are somewhat unclear, and, on the other hand, there are regulatory questions that are legally not part of the common commercial policy but do have an impact with trade with non-EU countries and, hence, giving a chance to Member States to develop an independent national policy toward extra-EU trade.
Hungary: Contracts in Labor Law
Authors: Jakab Nóra
Published: December 2022

The employment contract and collective agreement have force if parties disclose this. Behind them is the freedom of individual and collective will. In fact, the new employment relationships reflect this autonomy and the desire for it. For me, examining the dogmatics of the employment contract is not a matter of adapting Anglo-Saxon solutions, but of looking for the key to a solution in our rich private law literature. Indeed, in the field of civil law, this individual self-government is widespread, whereby legal entities themselves create the law for life relationships not compellingly regulated by law, or for unregulated parts of them. In labor law, therefore, I believe that it is in the employment contract that the law-making power of individuals must be rediscovered, for which the principle of partnership is essential. And the collective agreement is the key to the fulfillment of this partnership.

Finally, the third part is a reflection on the direction of labor law in the context of social changes that occur with the onset of technological boom.
Slovenia: Social Law and Labor Law – an Overview of Key Concepts
Authors: Strban Grega , Mišič Luka
Published: December 2022

The chapter, grounded in most relevant domestic literature on employment and labor relationships, provides the reader with a general overview of Slovenian individual and collective labor law regulation, its relation to EU law, and its placement in the wider field of social law, alongside social security law or social insurance regulation. It consists of an analysis of key sources of labor law, i.e., the Slovenian Constitution, the Employment Relationships Act or, simply, the Slovenian labor code,1 and autonomous legal sources like different-level collective agreements. Other important acts, like the Labor Inspection Act, Public Employees Act, or the Public Sector Salary System Act, are also referred to in places as to depict the regulatory framework as a whole. The chapter also addresses key aspects of most important labor law institutions, like the employment relationship, established by the employment contract, never staying far away from the evergreen interplay between labor law and (contract) civil law. It also considers some of the common challenges, faced in the field today, like disguised employment relationships or the conclusion of successive fixed-term contracts.

In this context, regulatory issues related to employment contracts and collective bargaining are highlighted.
Croatia: Reality of Labor Protection : At the Crossroads of Individual and Collective Labor Law
Authors: Vinković Mario
Published: December 2022

The chapter is focused on understanding collective agreements and collective bargaining in the Republic of Croatia, as well as the relationship between individual employment contracts and collective agreements through both theoretical and dogmatic approaches to the subject matter. The data on the coverage of workers by collective agreements is intended to provide insight into the reality of the application and scope of collective agreements, but also to highlight the risks of the part of the population in the labor market that does not benefit from their direct or indirect protection. According to available data, more than 50% of workers in the Republic of Croatia are covered by collective agreements. However, the insufficiently reliable records and the fact that there is still no comprehensive national register of all concluded and valid collective agreements are problematic. Special attention is paid both to the open issues de lege lata and to the phenomena that have characterized the development of Croatian labor law from the independence of the state to the recent events during the pandemic COVID-19 and the announced adoption of the new Labor Act, the fourth in the last twenty-seven years. Since in the process of transformation of employment relationships and fragmentation of the labor market certain institutions of labor law become particularly important, the legitimate question arises not only about the influence of trade unions on the relevant processes, but also about their ability to assert themselves as generators of social dialogue focused on vulnerable groups of workers and consolidation of membership. The author has tried to avoid a purely normative analysis and focus on the sociolegal discourse and methodological pluralism in terms of content structure and approach.
الخُرافة الشعبية: رؤية سوسيولوجية في تأصيلها ووظيفتها
Authors: أرحيم مستور حماد
Published: December 2022

استنادا إلى خصائص تكوين الخرافة أو الحكاية الشعبية يرى الباحثون أنها تركز على بعد واحد في قصتها وتهمل بقية الأبعاد. فعادة ما تكون القصة في الحكاية الشعبية سطحية وتتضمن أحداثا متكاملة تستند إلى سرد تصويري ولكنها تكون منفصلة عن الواقع. لا شك أن الحكايات الشعبية والأساطير والخرافات لها أصول وإلا لما بقيت في أذهان الناس وما كانت لتنتقل من جيل إلى آخر. لذلك فإن الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو تحديد طبيعة ووظيفة وأصل الخرافة من حيث كونها ميتافيزيقية أو دينية أو أنثروبولوجية أو أيديولوجية أو فكرية، أو ربما مجرد نتاج للخيال الاجتماعي لشرح بعض الأحداث الصعبة. تعتمد هذه الدراسة على المنهج التحليلي لتحليل محتوى نماذج من الحكايات الشعبية في سياقاتها الاجتماعية. وتشير نتائج الدراسة إلى أن لجوء الناس إلى الحكايات الشعبية هو نوع من الهروب من إخفاقاتهم والتعويض عن عدم قدرتهم على مواجهتها أو تفسيرها. وهكذا، شكلت الحكايات الشعبية والتقاليد المقدسة منطق خيال الناس الجامح في تصوير جميع جوانب نضالهم في الحياة. وقد وفر هذا الخيال مخرجا للناس من توترات تاريخهم من خلال التوظيف الخيالي للخرافات والحكايات الشعبية عن الأبطال والأساطير للتعويض عما لم يتمكنوا من تحقيقه في واقعهم.  والمشكلة التي تعاني منها المجتمعات العربية هي التمسك غير الموضوعي بالماضي وقيمه والتحسر عليه، الأمر الذي جعل هذه المجتمعات تبحث عما تفتقده في المعجزات أو الخوارق التي قد تنقذها من أوضاعها البائسة.
An Extensive Study on Factors Affecting the Quality of Higher Education and Research in Libya
Authors: Awheda Abdulghadar , Radwan Fathma S.
Published: December 2022

Knowledge and education are considered the backbone of every society; they are driving power and energy for any country's progress. Although this is a fact, there are indications of a low level of education in most Arab countries, especially those that exposed to political complications. Recently in our regions, the reluctance of faculty members to give has been observed, and the educational outcomes had deteriorated in recent years as compared to prior generations. This is due to ignoring several crucial factors that affect the educational process- the lecturer and the surrounding environment, which are the cornerstones of increasing educational and research outcomes and quality. Therefore, this paper reviews literature relating to education and scientific research quality demonstrated with analyses of specific initiatives to support quality. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a list of the pertinent factors and components that affect the standard of higher education and scholarly inquiry in Libyan institutions and universities, as well as viable solutions to these problems.
Creating Brave Spaces in Higher Education: A Short Interprofessional Education Exchange to Support Refugees’ Psychosocial Needs
Authors: Adamopoulou Eirini , Scheer Sarah , Mondaca Margarita
Published: December 2022

Potential traumatic experiences, prior, during and after migration, are the most common risk factors consistently associated with higher rates of mental disorders among refugees. The complex nature of refugee social and health challenges requires a holistic and comprehensive approach to achieve health equity. That is why, interprofessional education and collaboration among health and psychosocial care professionals is becoming increasingly crucial to build strong foundations for socially relevant work for refugees. Academic institutions can provide learning activities to advance students’ interprofessional knowledge and competences before they enter the workforce. This study explored higher education students’ experiences and reflections on a short-term interprofessional exchange that aimed to promote mental health and psychosocial support for refugees. Participants were higher education students from Germany, Greece, Sweden, and Spain representing the fields of psychology, occupational therapy, social work, pedagogy, medicine, and nursing. A qualitative study compromising two focus groups carried out at the end and 18 months after the interprofessional exchanges. Thematic analysis resulted in four themes: a) from curiosity to responsible action, b) my cultural humility journey, c) companion stories, and d) brave spaces and a sense of hope. Interprofessional collaboration emerged as a key strategy in protecting human rights and providing equal opportunities in psychosocial support of refugees. Findings highlight the value of short-term interprofessional exchanges for preparing higher education students in health and social care to move and be responsive in intercultural societies and contexts.
Asynchronous Discussions to Enhance Online Communities of Inquiry in the Saudi Higher ‎Education Context
Authors: Alharbi Abeer
Published: December 2022

This paper aimed to examine the efficiency of web-based asynchronous discussions in establishing and sustaining online collaborative learning communities in the Saudi higher educational context, by adopting the Community of Inquiry (Garrison et al., 1999) framework as a guiding model. The implementation involved setting up online asynchronous discussions in the Blackboard Learning Management System for a fourth-year undergraduate Education course over 20 days. By using a mixed methodology approach, the results revealed that within the Saudi university context, social presence patterns changed over time, with an overall increase in their levels. This increase attributed to three main factors: the instructors’ effective participation; peers’ active contribution; and the student’s desire to receive higher marks. However, the levels of students’ cognitive presence did not show  adequate growth, which is assigned mainly to an inadequate teaching presence. The study also explored the relationships between the three factors and concluded that in order for students to achieve their goals via online learning communities, time is an important consideration.
METAVERSE–YENİ BİR PAZARLAMA ALANI: GİYİM MARKALARININ İNCELENMESİ
Authors: KATIRCIOĞLU Abide
Published: December 2022

Amaç: Global ticari markalar son yıllarda metaverse ile ilgili hedef kitleleri ile etkileşime girmek, marka imajını kuvvetlendirmek için çeşitli projelere imza atmaktadırlar. Bu makalenin amacı biri orta segmentte hızlı, ikincisi ise lüks segmentte moda markası olan 2 giyim markasının metaverse alanına giriş yaparak yönettikleri projelerin marka imajlarına ve takipçileri ile olan etkileşimlerine katkı sağlayıp sağlamadıklarının incelenmesi ve analizlerini içermektedir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Zaman içerisinde sınırlandırılmış birkaç durumu çoklu kaynakları içeren veri toplama araçları ile derinlemesine incelendiği, durumların ve duruma bağlı temaların tanımlandığı nitel bir araştırma yaklaşımı olarak özgün vaka incelemesi yöntemi ile değerlendirilerek açıklayıcı format kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Metaverse için gerekli altyapıyı destekleyecek enerji kaynakları ve ekipman ürünlerinin yönetimi gibi sorunların aşılması gerekmektedir. Meta veri tabanının bileşenleri olan AR/VR teknolojileri, çevrimiçi çok oyunculu oyunlar, dijital sanal ikizler ve blok zincir uygulamaları bir süredir aktif olarak kullanılmaktadır. Ayrıca son dönemde oldukça popüler olan Non Fungible Token (NFT) tabanlı olan sanat eserlerinin, hediyelik eşyaların ve arazilerin alınıp satılmasına olanak sağlayan teknolojik gelişmeler, vaat edilen evrenin bir adım daha yakın olduğunu gösteriyor. Ancak bu kurgusal evrenin tam anlamıyla gerçekleşebilmesi için 5G teknolojisinin devreye girmesi, AR/VR donanım ve içeriğinin yaygınlaşması, peer2peer teknolojilerinin kullanımının artması gerekmektedir. Metaverse tasarlandığı gibi hayata geçirildiğinde, dijital bir evrende 3D avatar oluşturarak çalışmak, seyahat etmek, alışveriş yapmak, okula gitmek, eğlenmek gibi birçok günlük aktiviteyi gerçekleştirmek mümkün olacaktır. Kullanıcıların meta veri deposunda yaptığı herhangi bir değişiklik, neredeyse herkes tarafından kalıcı olarak görülebilecek ve böylece kullanıcılara daha fazla kimlik ve deneyim sürekliliği sağlanacaktır. Bu değişimlerin sosyo-kültürel ve psikolojik etkileri de incelenecek bir konu olacaktır. Sonuç: Metaverse şu an başlangıç aşamasında olup bu platformda istikrarlı ve belli bir stratejiye dayalı projeler üreten çok az marka vardır. Bunların çoğu da popüler olan global markalardır. Metaverse evreninin daha büyük kitleleri kendisine çekme yönünde gelişmesi için bu büyük global markaların yanı sıra lokal markaların da çok katman oluşturacak şekilde var olması gerekiyor ki bu evren daha hızlı bir şekilde gelişsin.
About Stereotyped Thinking and the Collapse of High Hopes
Authors: Bouzov Vihren
Published: December 2022

What is the role of stereotypical thinking and does it have a single mechanism? This article proposes a theoretical framework and an explanation of why thinking in stereotypes has become one of the biggest obstacles to achieving progress and building a just society in Bulgaria, as well as in other countries in transition from socialism to capitalism. Today’s party ideologies, media messages and mass expectations are woven from stereotypes, and that is why the topic is important. This type of thinking is present when the generic concept is identified with one of its species. This analysis also emphasizes the role of stereotypical thinking in dissociating with the great hopes of Bulgarian people for change and a better future, which were strong at the beginning of the transition, but today are on the verge of freezing. They were also the basis of the belief in the civilizational values coming from the West, which were supposed to replace the old backward socialist values of the planned economy and authoritarian socialism. The dream of them and the disappointment that they came to Bulgaria too slowly or even at all caused about 1/5 of the population, mostly young and active people, to look for sustenance and prosperity in the West. At the same time, poverty, social inequalities, and corruption settled in the country.
On the Sick Law and Sick Politics
Authors: Bouzova Pepa
Published: December 2022

This paper tries to develop, in a theoretical aspect with the means of the philosophy of law and politics, the idea of applying the concept of ‘disease’ to these most important areas of social relations. This concept entered our lives rather aggressively along with the global pandemic and the decree-based rule initiated by global factors. It would be interesting to answer the question of whether we can find a symptom of an overall disease of modern politics and law in this ridiculous situation. The analyzed symptoms of the serious illness of today’s law and politics lead to the conclusion that present-day society needs very serious, revolutionary transformations to restore the perspective that these important spheres of public relations serve to solve the problems and conflicts of citizens. They will lead to the collapse of the system of today’s neoliberal authoritarian order and to the return of the nation-state to the protection of the people’s interests.
The Medieval Fortress of Galata and Its Harbour
Authors: Peev Preslav
Published: December 2022

The medieval fortress of Galata was located on the high cliff coast of Cape Galata. Its harbour was located to the west of the cape in a small, but very well-protected bay against winds and sea waves. This article presents information known to date from written sources and scientific literature, as well as the results of remote non-destructive surveys in the area of the cape and the medieval harbour basin. During the analysis of the data from the field surveys, an L-shaped facility was registered that was part of the ancient port’s infrastructure, and fragmented medieval pottery was found. All these data allow accurate localization of the port of the Galata fortress. The results of the field studies suggest a high potential for future detailed studies, both on land and underwater.

The article presents information about the economic activity of Eustati Selveli in 1843, a prominent Renaissance entrepreneur and public figure of the 19th century. It is a continuation of two previous publications that examined this activity of his in the period 1831–1842. In 1843, Eustati Selveli took active part in at least two business structures – the trading company called “Hadji Mincho Hadji Tsachev and Company,” founded together with Hadji Mincho hadji Tsachev, and the trading company called “Eustati Hadji Nikolaou Selveli and Company,” established together with Atanas hadji Nikolaou. Both were set up in 1841. The main part of the information presented in this article was acquired on the basis of Greek-language documents that are stored in the State Archives of Veliko Tarnovo and in the archives of the Regional Museum of History in Veliko Tarnovo. These include contracts concluded between Eustati Selveli and Atanas hadji Nikolaou, a commercial notebook that belonged to their partnership, and a personal notebook of Eustati Selveli. The indicated historical sources contain information about the material and financial condition of Eustati Selveli and about his joint business activity with Atanas hadji Nikolaou. The article presents information about the business partners of Eustati Selveli and Atanas hadji Nikolaou in the year under review; the items which the partners traded in and their prices; the monetary units they used when paying for supplies and their value equal to grosh (the local coin at the time); the ways of delivery of the goods, etc.

Christian Nobility in the Lands of the Present-Day Republic of North Macedonia (15th – 17th Centuries)
Authors: Popov Tervel
Published: December 2022

During the 15th – 17th centuries, in the lands of the present-day Republic of North Macedonia, Christian nobility continued to exist. The Christian spahi, who were quite numerous in the southwest of the Bulgarian lands in the 15th century, gradually disappeared from Ottoman records. In urban centres such as Ohrid and Kratovo, the boyar estate remained. Duce Dimitar Pepić from Kratovo was the most distinguished Christian nobleman in the historical and geographical region of Macedonia in the 16th century, and he was respected by the people as a ruler. We have evidence about many Bulgarian nobles who became ktetors of churches and monasteries, thereby supporting not only the Christian fatee but also their people.
Fear and Justice: Social Erosions
Authors: Shiskova Iva
Published: December 2022

Nowadays, it is increasingly difficult for us to construct the world as a result of the erosion of values in all spheres of society. The normalization of social deprivations, such as justice and security, positions fear in people’s everyday life. In his Rhetoric, Aristotle associates fear with the expected evil that can befall us. In the current situations of a pandemic with a possible restart and of closely positioned hostilities, the media multiply fear on a large scale.

The Impact of Christian Religious Education on Generation Z Christian Nationalism Insight, with Spirituality as a Mediating Variable
Authors: Baskoro Dhama Gustiar , Kolibu Dirk Roy
Published: December 2022

The plurality of the Indonesian nation raises several important issues in the life of the Christian faith. Among the most important are the problems of religious syncretism with culture, pluralism, radicalism and intolerance. Of course, a multicultural diversity-based Christian Religious Education (CRE) curriculum is needed so that Christian spirituality can be translated well on the Indonesian context which adheres to Pancasila as an ideological view of nation and homeland, as well as diversity within unity. This research tries to test the relationship between the variables of Multicultural CRE (X), to dependent variable (Y) Christian Nationalism Insight, with the variable spirituality (Z) as the moderator variable. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS software version 3, with a small sample of 40 students participating in the Multicultural CRE course. The results explain that there is a significant effect between Multicultural CRE and Christian Nationalism Insight, also significant effect of Multicultural CRE to Spirituality, but the result is not show spirituality as a mediating variable has significant effect to Christian Nationalism Insight. This result show, the magnitude of the contribution of CRE to develop Spirituality and Christian Nationalism Insight.

In the context of the massive refugee influx from Ukraine to its European neighbouring states over the last months, this update reflects on the experiences of two international exchanges led by HOUSE-IN: a JPI Urban Europe-funded project that deals with challenges at the housing-integration nexus. The exchanges revealed the impacts of this forced migration at the intersection of housing and integration in several European cities. The update analyses the civic and temporal nature of responses to this refugee movement, which have challenged major assumptions about practices of settling and integration under uncertainties of war, as well as those around access to housing and support.
Computer Mediated Communication and the Promotion of World Cultural Diversity
Authors: Alakhdar Ghada
Published: December 2022

In order to unpack the potential of CMC to promote the world cultural diversity, nomadology as the major cultural medium is considered, especially that it holds structural affinities to orality striking a tripartite media (CMC-nomad-oral). Nomadology suggests a traditional cultural structure that is already re-attracting academic interest with the advent of new media technologies. Rhizome as cultural theory used to explore social media negotiates its structural potential to promote cultural diversity, not just globalization. Considering the global reach of cyberspace, the diversity of world cultures are hosted on the same plane of interaction to "connect" and negotiate their potential of development and spread. Therefore, this study aims at introducing new perceptions to the cultural potential of CMC through arguing that the diversity of world cultures stand a chance of promotion amidst the tech-based globalization sweeping cultural production.
Classroom Methods for Enhancing Equivalence Retrieval for Translators
Authors: Surour Nahla
Published: December 2022

The problem of equivalence retrieval is one of the most challenging for trainee translators and interpreters. Numerous techniques have been proposed by translator trainers and theorists to help overcome memory-related issues (Gile 1995, Al-Hammadi 2012, Lörscher 2012, etc.). This paper proposed two teaching methods to be adopted by translator trainers with the aim of enhancing trainee proficiency, specifically concerning equivalence retrieval. The present article generally belongs to the cognitive paradigm. The proposed teaching methods, namely semantic breakdown and teaching-common-senses-first, take ‘meaning’ as their focus, basically drawing on ideas from schema theory, and relevance theory. A future empirical investigation of the two proposed teaching methods would help validate them.
A Stylistic-Cultural Reading of Enani’s English Translation of Taha Hussein’s Marginalia on the Prophet’s Biography
Authors: Riad Mustafa
Published: December 2022

An English translation of Taha Hussein’s ‘Ala Hamish Al Sira [Marginalia of the Prophet’s Biography] (2021) by Muhammad Enani appeared in the “Arabic Literature and Thought” series. Enani introduced readers of English to Hussein’s literary version of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) biography in a translation in which he attempted to reveal aspects of Hussein’s modernity in both style and handling of religious subject matter. The present paper explores Hussein’s progressive thought and how Enani translated his work to foreground Hussein’s avant-garde approach to dealing with the Prophet’s biography. The paper focuses on Enani’s effort to complement earlier Orientalist approaches in the field in a revisionist reading of whatever blemished their works. Enani’s contribution is highly valued as it is exerted by a well-established professor of translation studies and a practising translator. Furthermore, Enani’s Arabo-Islamic identity and his profound knowledge of both Arabic and English enabled him to produce an equivalent translation of the original text.

Relevance. In this study, considerable attention is devoted to the analysis of dynamic loads that occur in the rope systems of lifting mechanisms of overhead cranes during start-up and braking, and the reduction of these loads.Purpose. To identify the magnitude and nature of changes in dynamic loads in the elements of lifting mechanisms of bridge cranes, a comprehensive dynamic analysis of the lifting mechanism of the bridge crane and its elastic elements (rope systems) was performed.Methods. The dynamic analysis of the above mechanisms and systems was performed on well-grounded mathematical models of bridge-type cranes (single- and double-mass).Results. The analysis of the obtained calculations of mathematical models of the mechanism of lifting the load of bridge cranes demonstrated that the dynamic loads applied to the structural elements and drive mechanisms are oscillatory and comparable to static loads. The analysis of the obtained calculations of mathematical models of the mechanism of lifting the load of bridge cranes demonstrated that the dynamic loads applied to the structural elements and drive mechanisms are oscillatory and comparable to static loads. To minimise the integral functionals, the methods of classical calculus of variations, mathematical physics and differential equations were used to model the dynamics of loading processes of rope systems and drives of bridge cranes, and the terminal (initial and final conditions of movement of such systems) were considered, which allowed solving the optimisation problem unambiguouslyThus, to reduce dynamic loads in structural elements (in particular, in ropes) during transients in such lifting mechanisms of bridge cranes, it is proposed to perform optimisation of the modes of movement of their drive mechanisms. An essential place in such optimisation is occupied by the choice of the optimisation criterion. Among such criteria, integral optimisation criteria were used. As such integral optimisation criteria, the RMS values of the current loads in the elastic elements (ropes) of overhead travelling cranes have been used.Conclusions. Such integral criteria are integral functionalities that usually reflect undesirable properties of machines and their mechanisms, thus, they are subject to minimisation
The difference between divorce and oath (Study and Investigation)

Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah is one of the innovative and diligent scholars with a passion for jurisprudential choices that correspond to the times, and keep pace with changing events, and from the humiliation of the issue of swearing by divorce and its suspension. He went to the fact that swearing to divorce and suspending it to encourage the act or prevent it if it is not intended to divorce, then it does not count as expiation for an oath. And a recent conversation between a victorious supporter and a critical opponent, and by his choice he took the most personal law-legators in the Islamic world, and a group of contemporary scholars issued fatwas on it.
Towards a renewed local social and political covenant in Libya, Syria and Yemen
Authors: Morsy Ahmed
Published: December 2022

This SIPRI Insights Paper examines the domestic and external factors at play in Libya, Syria and Yemen and their impact on negotiating post-war peaceful settlements and shaping prospective social contracts.The paper’s argument is two-fold. Firstly, policymaking must move beyond a static approach to understanding these conflicts. Despite apparent stalemates, the three countries should be approached as ever-evolving simmering conflicts. Secondly, policymakers have to move below the national level in order to achieve various forms of localized social peace. Given the nature of these conflicts and the varied sub-national segmentation, the analysis concludes that community-level social and political covenants may offer a first building block towards nationwide social contracts and sustainable conflict resolution.The role of external actors, particularly the European Union (EU), is critical in paving the way for these local-level dialogues and negotiations in Libya, Syria and Yemen. In short, external powers, including the EU, should adopt policies that push for long-term resolution to achieve post-conflict stabilization rather than the opportunistic taking of sides.

Antibiotics are commonly using for killing of human and animal host pathogenic fungi and bacteria. It was reported that annual global consumption of antibiotics is ranging between 100 hundred thousand to 200 hundred thousand tones. Therefore, the aquatic system is carrying such kind of toxicants and consequent severe impact on human health and other biotic components in the ecosystem. Therefore, water system containing antibiotics is gained to attention of decontamination by appropriate technology. The adsorption process is a popular technique having easy operation, economically convenient, wide selectivity, significant efficiency for decontamination of antibiotics. Among other adsorbents, the aerogels are reported as low cost with excellent properties including high porosity, low density, extended surface area (108–539 m 2 g −1 ), biocompatibility and biodegradability etc. The aimed of this review was to evaluate the modification routes, adsorption efficiency and mechanistic insight of adsorption mechanisms of antibiotics were explored by reported studies.
