Published: June 2023

An evaluation study of x-ray image doses at the Public Hospital Radiological Department sought to determine the causes of the repeat/rejected images and how it is related to the staff expertise. The reasoning behind this study was the maximization of patient safety from excess/unwarranted radiology doses at the department. This article will help develop a mechanism for quality control for the department to make digital x-ray as safe as possible at the facility. This study revealed that positioning error, machine problems, anatomy cutoff, artifacts, and body movement were the reasons for frequent repeat/reject x-ray procedures at the department. This article revealed that these errors had a strong relationship with staff causes. The leading cause of the errors coming up in the radiologic department is directly related to the radiology technologists' causes/competencies. Technologists with less than eight years of experience were directly/indirectly responsible for 87.5% of repeat radiation procedures. Technologists with over eight years of experience contributed to 12.4% of the repeat/rejected procedures. This study recommends implementing quality control methods more aggressively and improving on-the-job staff training to protect patients from unnecessary radiation.
Degradation of Condenser Tubes of a Nuclear Power Plant Exposed to Harsh Process Conditions
Authors: Alothmany Dheya
Published: June 2023

Nuclear Power Plants condensers face various problems during their lifetime. One of very common problem is the leakage of Al-brass condenser tubes. Usually with the extended operation of condensers for 20 year or so, one can expect replacement of about 15-20% of condenser tubes due to leakage. One of the significant reasons of leakages of condenser tubes is ammonical corrosion. This ammonical corrosion can be minimized by controlling temperature along with various prevention method of corrosion. Current method used in power plant condensers is Sacrificial Cathodic Protection (SCP). A number of experiments were performed in the lab to protect corrosion by using SCP as well as the Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP). It was found that the ICCP is much better than SCP.

Published: June 2023

Sierra Leone is vulnerable to a wide range of vector-borne diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, tsetse flies, black flies, and other vectors. Malaria, lymphatic filariasis, and onchocerciasis have posed the greatest threat and have received the most attention in terms of vector control and capacity for diagnosis. However, malaria infection rates remain high, and there is evidence of circulation of other vector-borne diseases, such as chikungunya and dengue, which may go undiagnosed and unreported. The limited understanding of the prevalence and transmission of these diseases restricts the capacity for predicting outbreaks, and impedes the planning of appropriate responses. We review the available literature and gather expert opinions from those working in the country to report on the status of vector-borne disease transmission and control in Sierra Leone, and present an assessment of the threats of these diseases. Our discussions highlight an absence of entomological testing for disease agents and the need for more investment in surveillance and capacity strengthening.

Targeting malaria interventions in elimination settings where transmission is heterogeneous is essential to ensure the efficient use of resources. Identifying the most important risk factors among persons experiencing a range of exposure can facilitate such targeting. A cross-sectional household survey was conducted in Artibonite, Haiti, to identify and characterize spatial clustering of malaria infections. Household members (N = 21,813) from 6,962 households were surveyed and tested for malaria. An infection was defined as testing positive for Plasmodium falciparum by either a conventional or novel highly sensitive rapid diagnostic test. Seropositivity to the early transcribed membrane protein 5 antigen 1 represented recent exposure to P. falciparum. Clusters were identified using SaTScan. Associations among individual, household, and environmental risk factors for malaria, recent exposure, and living in spatial clusters of these outcomes were evaluated. Malaria infection was detected in 161 individuals (median age: 15 years). Weighted malaria prevalence was low (0.56%; 95% CI: 0.45–0.70%). Serological evidence of recent exposure was detected in 1,134 individuals. Bed net use, household wealth, and elevation were protective, whereas being febrile, over age 5 years, and living in either households with rudimentary wall material or farther from the road increased the odds of malaria. Two predominant overlapping spatial clusters of infection and recent exposure were identified. Individual, household, and environmental risk factors are associated with the odds of individual risk and recent exposure in Artibonite; spatial clusters are primarily associated with household-level risk factors. Findings from serology testing can further strengthen the targeting of interventions.
Storytelling and advice: Constructing the lived experience of eating disorders online
Authors: Bates Carolina Figueras
Published: June 2023

Online peer support groups encourage individuals to tell their stories and to find validation and emotional comfort when reading about the stories of others. Coincidently, lived experiences are the kind of knowledge applied to solicit and to deliver peer advice. This study examines the relationship between storytelling and advice in an English speaking online forum that provides support for those with an eating disorder (ED). The results revealed a range of different types of narratives within the data, from more elaborate testimonials of the ED and the process of recovery to brief personal passages responding to the first poster. The Labovian narrative structure appeared in a number of the first stories, whereas two main configurations, contingent upon the kind of response offered, emerged in second stories: parallel assessments (or snapshots) and success stories. Parallel assessments constituted self-centred stories and did not include any advice provision. Success stories, instead, became an essential component of the advice-giving act since they were remedial. The solution proposed by responders to the problem posed by the first poster was organized either to offer tips (that is, a series of practical recommendations to address a specific ED or recovery issue) or to deliver thoughtful advice through a resolutive story that introduced the state of recovery as a real possibility. Both parallel assessments and resolutive stories included contrasting resonances in relation to the first story. Resolutive stories encompassed resonating elements whose meanings were transformed and (re)signified from the positioning of a subject moving towards recovery. However, snapshots echoed specific key expressions from the initiating post. The goal was to display alignment with the first teller by describing a similar I-perspective experience. Taken together, the individual small stories contributed to the co-construction of a multiple-lived story with regard to the ED in the online community.
Emotion and opinion in online tabloids and broadsheets
Authors: Peldová Petra
Published: June 2023

This paper is a corpus-based study focusing on implicit evaluation expressed in newspaper discourse, namely, the semantic mapping of emotion and opinion. The corpus, compiled of online “front page” newspaper articles from both selected tabloids (The Sun, The Express, The Mirror) and broadsheets (The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent) was used to answer three research questions: 1) Is evaluation markedly expressed in newspaper discourse? 2) What linguistic means are typical for construing evaluation in newspaper discourse? 3) Is there a difference between the tabloids and the broadsheets regarding the way in which/how evaluation is conveyed/employed? To answer these questions, a pilot keyword study on only six articles was carried out (one article from each of the aforementioned newspapers). The findings confirmed the importance of adjectives in expressing evaluation. Following this, a large study was conducted to detect local grammar adjectival lexicogrammatical patterns, introduced by Hunston (2000) and further amended by Bednarek (2007, 2009). These patterns, which are known for carrying the evaluative load, were analyzed in terms of frequency and function. It was observed that there is a difference in expressing evaluation between the tabloids and the broadsheets. However, more significant differences were found between the broadsheet newspapers themselves.
Engagement strategies on medical YouTube channels
Authors: Tereszkiewicz Anna
Published: June 2023

The study focuses on the strategies of engagement employed by medical doctors in YouTube videos. The goal of the analysis is to investigate multimodal strategies used in selected videos on the most popular medical YouTube channels in Poland. The study is conducted against a theoretical background that considers previous research on engagement strategies in science and popularization discourse (Hyland 2010; Luzón 2015, 2019; Sokół 2018). Engagement strategies involving reader pronouns, directives, questions, shared knowledge as well as humour, expression of opinions and emotions are investigated, as well as headings, visuals and music. The analysis reveals that medical doctors employ a vast array of diverse engagement strategies which do not form a unified set of practices across the channels. The differences concern the frequency and type of strategies, such as the use of headings, visuals, special effects and music. The study also reveals considerable differences between the videos as to the degree to which the authors exploit the affordances of the audio-visual medium. The formats of the videos comprise both the more traditional, such as slides with a voice-over, as well as more novel approaches, such as presentation films. The strategies employed show that the authors attempt to form a distinctive and recognizable style of interaction with the audience.

Legal predications with the terms maternité, paternité and their Polish equivalents

This article aims to analyze legal predications with the terms maternité, paternité and their Polish equivalents as an argument. The methodological framework of this study centers around the language expression of specialized concepts. The observed predications refer to legal actions for the purpose of establishing and contesting filiation in the French and Polish legal systems. We observe a strong use of nominal action predicates and an almost exact equivalence of expressions with the terms in question.

Published: June 2023

Conservative Moral Politics in the Polish Discourse about LGBTQIA+ This paper summarises a pilot study aiming to apply George Lakoff’s concept of moral politics in the Polish context. Based on an analysis of a corpus built from articles published in Polish rightwing weekly magazines between 2019 and 2021 and addressing the topic of the LGBTQIA+ community, the text argues that the way of formulating and expressing views regarding socio-political issues systematically depends on an implicitly applied cognitive model of morality (in this case, the strict father morality postulated by Lakoff).
Choosing the Lesser Evil? English Sunni E-fatwas on Abortion
Authors: Górska Ewa , Woźniak-Bobińska Marta
Published: June 2023

There has been an academic interest in fatwas regarding abortion since the 1980s (Anees 1989; Rispler-Chaim 1993, 2003; Faúndes, Barzelatto 2006). With the globalisation of ummah – the Islamic community – and the expansion of the internet, online fatwas have started to provide normative answers to inquiries from Muslims from all over the world. Van den Branden and Broeckaert researched non-voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide expressed in English e-fatwas (2009, 2011). Using their approach and framing e-fatwas in the context of Roy’s view on the virtual Islamic community (2000, we have selected and analysed eighty English Sunni e-fatwas on abortion. On the level of structure, these e-fatwas are very similar – often rooted in the Quran and Sunna but not classical jurisprudential discussions on the subject. On the level of content, they do not deviate from Islamic jurisprudence, which does not encourage abortion but permits it in particular circumstances during specific stages of fetal development – generally, before four months or 120 days of gestation. In the light of our study, English Sunni e-fatwas on abortion constitute an important part of Islamic bioethical teachings and thus deserve further research

Polish Antigones and Holiness in the Dis-enchanted World. Changing of the Cultural Pattern in the Relationship with Protestant Cemeteries in Poland after 1989

In this article, the authors set themselves the goal of describing the pattern of civil engagement comparable to that of Antigone in relations with the state on the case study of people associated with the “Anna Foundation,” saving the evangelical (protestant) cemetery in Gostków (Lower Silesia) from the mid-nineteenth century. The area of operation of this foundation is the local communion of multicultural influence. The research method involved reading sources, a series of qualitative interviews with activists and other subjects with “borderline experience,” a description of photographic documentation and an interpretation of the history of modernity. The article is a case study and an attempt to interpret a broader phenomenon of saving cemeteries of various denominations from destruction and oblivion in Poland after 1989. This study contributes to studies on culture and religion, and the philosophical and theological reflection of late post-modernity. In interpreting the phenomenon of civic involvement, the authors use the concepts of “disenchantment of the world,” “rationalization,” “bureaucratization” and “the garden state,” as well as “re-enchanting of the world” and “holiness in the secular age.” In the conclusions, the authors propose to correct both the definition of “world enchantment” and the definition of the inevitable secularization of the world in late (post) modernity. The authors argue that in the time of the post-pandemic crisis and the climate catastrophe, Albert Schweitzer’s “reverence for life” may be an equivalent that is appropriate for the non-rational elements of contemporary culture.
The Responses of Religious Communities to Migration and the Transformation of a Quasi-Monopolistic Religious Market
Authors: Wiktor-Mach Dobrosława , Trzeszczyńska Patrycja , Pędziwiatr Konrad
Published: June 2023

This article investigates links between religion and migration processes through a study of religious communities’ approaches towards migrants. Drawing from the religious economy perspective, the paper explores the under-researched topic of the role of migration in the dynamics of a religious field in the context of Central and Eastern Europe. The qualitative research performed in 2020 in Krakow – one of the key destinations for migrants in Poland – confirms the claims of religious economy that monopolists and quasi-monopolists are usually more reluctant to adapt to social changes. On the other hand, less-privileged but entrepreneurial religious communities are more aware of migrants’ situation, and respond to their needs in the following ways: 1) providing cosmopolitan “temporary homes”; 2) bridging cultures; 3) setting up ethno-cultural service hubs. We argue that these kinds of engagements have significant implications for the dynamics inside the religious market.

Wyniki badania wskazują na istnienie potrzeby miejskiej przestrzeni publicznej, która nie jest uzewnętrzniana w obecnych praktykach miejskich i partycypacyjnych.

Between sacrum and profanum – public life on the Church of the Ascension square in North Ursynów

The article discusses the coexistence of the sacred and the profane in the public space of a residential environment – in the light of research on public life and urban composition. The research problem concerns the existence of the need for a sacred space in the traditional form of an urban square in large housing estates. The study regarded the relationship between sacrum and profanum and its impact on the living conditions in the housing estate, exemplified by the square in front of the Church of the Ascension in North Ursynów district in Warsaw. The research subject included the genesis of the form of the square, the local legal background, participatory practices, and activity in the space of the square based on the on-site observations made in the years 2004-2022. The study results show the need for public urban space, not addressed in current urban and participatory practices.
UK Polish Saturday Schools and Civil Society During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: White Anne , Young Sara
Published: June 2023

This article continues a theme recently raised in this journal by Małek (2019) and Krzyworzeka-Jelinowska (2019). It analyses the activism of Polish women living abroad, as headteachers, teachers and parents at Saturday schools, and demonstrates that Polish migrants are not as socially passive as sometimes assumed. We define civil society as ‘a society of active citizens, associating together and working for the collective good’. Our study of seven schools suggests that the Covid-19 lockdown stimulated some schools to broaden their activities as civil society organisations. Although some local links were weakened, for example because Polish Clubs were shut, the schools’ online activities expanded: more networking took place between headteachers UK-wide, and the schools reached out to a range of Polish and non-Polish organisations: locally; elsewhere in the UK; in Poland; and in third countries. Within the schools, the pandemic represented an opportunity to teach children about their civic responsibilities and involve parents more directly in children’s education. However, the lockdown also raised difficulties for all Saturday schools, not just Polish ones, when their credentials as ‘educational’ organisations seemed challenged by both UK government policy and some mainstream schools.
Wietnamska działalność charytatywna w Polsce: wdzięczność i przynależenie
Authors: Grabowska Ewa Joanna
Published: June 2023

Aktywność dobroczynna Wietnamczyków w niewielkim stopniu podejmowana była w literaturze światowej, nie przykuła również uwagi polskich badaczy. Odwołania do teorii wymiany uogólnionej, przynależenia oraz uwarunkowań kulturowych są próbą wypełnienia powstałej luki. Na podstawie netnografii, wywiadów pogłębionych i analizy medialnych doniesień przeanalizowano działania charytatywne skierowane do społeczeństwa polskiego przed i w początkowej fazie pandemii. Skala i szeroki zasięg działań Wietnamczyków przynosił obopólne korzyści, również dla polskich polityków. Na poziomie wartości, dążenie do spłaty długu wdzięczności było jednym z czynników wpływających na decyzję o pomaganiu. Na poziomie instrumentalnym, oprócz partykularnych interesów budowania rozpoznawalności marki biznesowej, korzyścią motywującą do dalszych działań był między innymi pozytywny wizerunek społeczności w oczach polskiego społeczeństwa. Proaktywne odpowiedzi na realne zapotrzebowanie Polaków, konstruowanie wspólnej korzyści i dbałość o reputację stanowiły sposób manifestowania przynależenia w warunkach polskich.

Vietnamese charitable work in Poland: gratitude and belonging

Vietnamese charitable activity was only to a small extent taken up in world literature. It also did not attract the attention of Polish researchers. This paper attempts to fill the gap drawing on the theory of generalized exchange, belonging and cultural determinants. I analysed charity actions directed to Polish society before and in the initial phase of the pandemic based on netnography, in-depth interviews and analysis of media reports. The scale and wide range of Vietnamese actions brought mutual benefits profitable also for Polish politicians. At the value level, the desire to pay off the debt of gratitude was one of their incentives to help. At the instrumental level, beside individual interests to build business brand recognition, a positive image of the community in the eyes of Polish society was one of the benefits inspiring further actions. Proactive responses to actual Polish needs, creating a shared value and care for reputation constituted the Vietnamese way to manifest belonging in Polish conditions.
The spatial distribution of economic immigrants from Ukraine and Belarus and the socio-economic development of Polish counties
Authors: Kałuża-Kopias Dorota
Published: June 2023

Following its accession to the EU and the progressing relaxation of the legislation on employment of foreign workers, Poland started to attract more and more job seekers from other countries, mainly from Ukraine, who saw opportunities in its expanding labour market, increasing demand for workers, falling unemployment and rising wages. The inflow of workers from countries east of Poland has benefitted its economy in many ways, including the narrowing of the demographic gap and increased funding for the national budget and the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS).

This study was undertaken to determine the types of factors causing Ukrainian and Belarusian nationals seeking employment in Poland to prefer one Polish county over the others and to assess their role. Based on the review of studies on the key determinants of migration, and given the limited availability of data, three major groups of factors that can be associated with their choices were selected for analysis – the distance between the migrant’s home and Polish counties, their socioeconomic status, and the presence of migration diasporas.

The analysis was performed by means of the widely used gravity models that describe population movements as a function of a geographical distance, and a taxonomic measure of counties’ socio-economic development.

The main sources of data used in the article were Statistics Poland (www.stat.gov.pl) and Ministry of Family and Social Policy (https://psz.praca.gov.pl/web/urzad-pracy) and Educational Information System (https://dane.gov.pl/pl/dataset/1426,liczba-uczniow-cudzoziemcow-wedug-gmin/).
Option for the Poor and Compassion for the Vulnerable: why the two Bible-based principles should not be Conflated or Replaced
Authors: Speckman McGlory
Published: June 2023

This article motivates for the retention of the option for the poor paradigm in response to Michel Temgo’s (2018) proposal for its replacement with “compassion for the vulnerable”. It argues that the two principles, “option for the poor” and “compassion for the vulnerable”, are Biblebased with different functions in the Bible. For that reason, they should not be conflated. The option for the poor principle has, over five decades, undergirded theological activism against exploitation, poverty and injustice - what Gutierrez (1973) refers to as subhuman conditions of the poor. Its value for the poor and oppressed communities cannot be fully appreciated unless viewed from the perspective of its original context in Medellin (1968). Following an assessment of whether a paradigm shift is justified and a tracing of the foundations of the two principles in Luke’s Gospel, the article concludes that there is no justification for a paradigm shift and that according to biblical evidence, the “option for the poor” is particular, while “compassion for the vulnerable” is general.

ROLE OF VIRECHANA AND JALUKA-KARMA IN MANAGEMENT OF ECZEMA
(VICHARCHIKA) – A CASE STUDY
Authors: Uniyal Priyanka , Bhatkoti Mayank
Published: June 2023

Introduction: An eczema is a common form of dermatitis that causes inflammation of the epidermal layer of
skin. It results from various internal and external factors which are related to allergic conditions or hypersensitivity that causes inflammation. Eczema impairs the quality of life and has significant psychological and social distress. Managing eczema can help in improving a patient’s quality of life. In Ayurveda, it is described by the term
Vicharchika which is a Rakta Pradoshaja Vikara and is included under Kshudra Kushta. Material and method:
In this study, a male patient of 20-year-old presented with complaints of a dry scaly lesion (approx. 5cm×3cm)
with intense itching and burning sensation over the dorsum of the bilateral foot for 6 months. Diagnosis: This
condition in Ayurveda was diagnosed as Vicharchika. Intervention: In this present study, an attempt is made to
study the combined efficacy of Virechana and Raktamokshan in Eczema (Vicharchika). Outcome: The patient
had significant relief in the symptoms of Vicharchika. There was a marked improvement in itching and dryness.
Result and Conclusion: The result was assessed by improvement in the patient's symptoms before and after the
treatment. Virechana and Raktamokshan are the best lines of treatment in the management of (Kushta) skin disorders.
Costs and benefits associated with the adoption of tomato and sweet pepper nursery seed propagation technologies in Arumeru and Mvomero districts in Tanzania
Authors: Nombo Selina Patrick , Saruni Parit L. , Makindara Jeremia R.
Published: June 2023

Seed propagation technologies are becoming increasingly popular among vegetable producers in developing countries due to their ability to provide benefits by lowering production costs. We assessed the costs and benefits of seed propagation technology adoption for tomato and sweet pepper production using a partial budget approach for seedling trays or field nursery technologies in the districts of Arumeru and Mvomero in Tanzania. We applied Net Present Value, Cost–Benefit Ratio (CBR) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) to choose the best seed propagation technology that can be adopted by farmers and especially those producing vegetable seedlings as their core business and for commercial purposes. We collected the data using a household survey questionnaire, interviews, and focus group discussions. The results show that switching from field nurseries to seedling trays is economically beneficial by increasing the rate of return value to 3.02, which is greater than one, implying a rate of return of 302 %, which is greater than the costs of new investments. Overall, we can conclude that farmers were less likely to grow vegetable seedlings in seedling trays due to the fact that seedling tray technology was considerably more expensive than field nursery technology. As a result, we recommend that policymakers at all levels of local and central governments promote extension agent training in this technology to promote seedling tray propagation among vegetable farmers and make the technology affordable to farmers in order to increase agricultural productivity, income, and well-being.

In 1969, the first Sunni complete translation was issued by the Kadhi of Zanzibar; the then Chief Kadhi of Kenya (1968-1981), Abdullah Saleh Al-Farsi, which came as response to the Qadiani translation. Afterward, several Sunni, Shia and Ibadi translations appeared. Despite these translations were studied in several studies, but none has classified them according to their theological affiliations. This research surveys the theological trends among modern Quranic Swahili translations in five folds that include Sunni, Shia, Ibadi, Qadiani and Christian missionary trends. The findings of the study attest that various theological approaches were applied in Swahili modern Quranic translations to convey different theological views.

ملخص

روضة الأطفال أو ما يطلق عليها في اللغة الملايوية "تاديكا" .. مؤسسة تعليمية في المجتمع الإسلامي في أرخبيل الملايو وكذلك في فطاني. والهدف من إنشائها هو غرس المبادئ الدينية الأساسية. حيث تعمل على جعل الأطفال مسلمين صالحين في المجتمع, إذا كنا نريد الشباب أناسا طيبين ، ويتمتعون بأخلاق حسنة، وعندما يكبرون ويصبحوا بالغين يكونون صالحين في المجتمع ، فلا بد من رعايتهم في الصغر، إذا فعلنا هذا سيكون هناك أناس طيبون ، وسيكون المجتمع صالحًا, لكن في الوضع الحالي ، لقد انخفض عدد الطلاب في التدريس في روضة الأطفال "تاديكا" بشكل كبير بسبب نظرة الآباء لأطفالهم  حيث يعتبر البعض ذلك إضاعة للوقت في تاديكا. لأن الدراسة في المدارس الحكومية التايلاندية كافية، وهذا هو السبب في أن بعض الناس في فطاني أكثر بعدًا وغير مهتمين بالدين، إن عدم إرسال الآباء أولادهم للدراسة  في "تاديكا" هو أحد العوامل التي تجعل بعضا من المجتمع الإسلامي في فطاني بعيداً عن عقيدة الإسلام. تحاول الدراسة الحالية تحليل الأسباب الرئيسية لعدم إرسال بعض أولياء الأمور أطفالهم إلى مدرسة "تاديكا" وتاريخ "تاديكا" في فطاني.

Abstract

This study was conducted as a result of the achievement of the goal of Islamic education at the First World Conference on Islamic Education in Makkah Al-Mukarramah in 1977 AD. As one of the most predominant recommendations of that conference is the implementation of a comprehensive and integrated educational system, acknowledging that the current conditions in most countries of the Islamic world's educational and educational institutions do not represent the Islamic image, and do not play their correct role in bringing up generations on the guidance of Islam in worship, perception, and behavior patterns. In addition to emphasizing the significance of the Arabic language in comprehending Islam, this research intends to apply Islamic characteristics derived from the Qur'an and Hadith and related to each topic in the textbook for Malaysian primary school curricula. According to the findings of this study, the value of Islamization can be implemented in the selected topic of the subject: “Sports day” acquired through the Arabic Language textbook for primary 6 and the understanding of Islam and the Arabic language may be linked and applied in the student's daily life from a global and multicultural perspective.
The Roles of Masjid in Enhancing Networking Opportunities among the Muslims in the Era of Globalization
Authors: Badi Jamal Ahmad , Surajudeen Ahmad Tijani
Published: June 2023

Masjid or otherwise known as mosque is meant for tahānuth among the Muslims. By tahānuÏh, it refers to Muslims ‟ devotion in showing servitude and servility of obedience to Allah, the supreme Creator”. Masjid Qubā’ was the first mosque which the Prophet peace upon him laid its foundation. Islam gives prominence to three mosques: masjid al-Haram, masjid al-Nabawī and masjid al-Aqṣā. With the establishment of the masjid during the prophetic era, masjid played various roles such as spiritual, social, political, economic and more importantly it fostered networking opportunities among the disciples of the Prophet peace be upon him. Muslims meet in the masjid five times daily and once in a year in masjid al-Harām. Masjid is undeniably has a tendency of promoting the integration of all spheres of human affairs in the era of globalization. Unfortunately, the roles of masjid have been restricted to the spirituality whereby its inclusive role of networking opportunities has been fervently neglected in the era of globalization. Therefore, the primary aim and objective of this paper is to investigate and expand the role of masjid through the view-lens of networking opportunities among the contemporary Muslims in the era of globalization. In so doing, Muslims will maximize the opportunities of meeting in the masjid towards the enhancement of peaceful co-existence, unity, harmony. It is thereby recommended that, the management of masjid should provide a platform for promoting networking opportunities among the Muslims.
Deconstruction: Overview and Critique
Authors: Bakour Bachar
Published: June 2023

Deconstruction is a post-structuralist, intellectual, and critical theory, formulated by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida in the 1960s. It is an approach to re-reading literary and philosophical given their multiple possible meanings. This article seeks to present a brief account of deconstruction: its epistemological roots of Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger, major concepts, tools. Then, it presents a critique of deconstruction, especially in the works of John Ellis and Abdel Aziz Hammouda. Furthermore, the article briefly refers to the impact of the deconstruction on the religious text (the Holy Qur'an and the Prophet's Sunnah), as some Arab secularists have laid particular stress on the application of this Western hermeneutics to Islamic texts. For them, it is deemed as a necessary step to ensure that the religious text remains open to many interpretations, and responds to different circumstances and conditions. The article argues that deconstruction, as a literary philosophical doctrine, has been born of Western modernity.  And therefore, it does not seem appropriate to transform it into a civilization with different cultural and religious components.

النظرية التفكيكية اتجاه فكري ونقدي ولد في عالم ما بعد البنيوية على يد  الفيلسوف الفرنسي جاك دريدا. وتمثل هذه النظرية رؤية نقدية تقوم على الهدم والبناء من خلال إعادة قراءة النصوص الأدبية والفلسفية والدينية...إلخ. تسعى هذه المقالة إلى عرض موجز للتفكيكية: الخلفيات المعرفية المستمدة من نيتشة ومارتن هايدجر، وأهم مفاهيمها ومصطلحاتها وأدواتها، ثم بيان أهم الانتقادات العلمية الموجهة ضد هذه النظرية، خصوصاً فيما كتبه جون إليس، وعبد العزيز حمودة. ثم تشير المقالة بإيجاز إلى أثر التفكيكية في اختراق النص الديني: القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية، على يد العلمانيين العرب الذين ما برحوا يؤكدون على ضرورة  تطبيق أمثال هذه الأسس التأويلية الغربية (الهرمنيوطيقا) على النصوص الإسلامية. وبهذا يبقى النص الديني مفتوحاً ومتعدداً بتعدد القراء، وباختلاف الظروف والأحوال. وترى المقالة أن النظرية التفكيكية مجرد مذهب أدبي فلسفي نشأ في الواقع الحداثي الغربي في صراعه مع الدين، يهدف إلى نزع المقدسات، وهدم التقاليد، وزحزحة الأفكار الموروثة عن العلاقة واللغة والنص والسياق والمؤلف والقارئ ودور التاريخ وعملية التفسير. ولا يصح بحال إسقاط هذا المذهب على واقع فكري وثقافي مباين في سياقاته وظروفه لبيئة هذا المذهب.

Published: June 2023

The modular learning method is essential for helping students reinforce their understanding and to enhance excellence. To demonstrate the actual impact of the module on the students' learning, it is necessary to evaluate the students' impressions and perceptions of the created module. This study aims to determine how students in the second semester of the Introduc-tion to Islamic Law (KPPI) course at Polytechnic Sultan Idris Shah perceive the application of learning module. The constructs tested in this study are learning module evaluation, learning module function and students’ ac-ceptance. The study design is descriptive by applying a quantitative approach through the questionnaire (sur-vey instruments). From a pilot study of 30 students, the Cronbach's alpha reliability value received was 0.973. This study applied SPSS 26.0 software to analyze data in the form of frequency, mean, percentage, and standard deviation. Respondents consisted of 70 second semes-ter students who took KPPI. Collectively, the research findings demonstrated that the mean and standard devi-ation of the module evaluation construct, module func-tion and students’ acceptance were high. This proves that the KPPI learning module assists students in en-hancing their comprehension, generating interest, and displaying positive acceptance. The research findings also prove that the application of learning module is still the main choice as a learning aid in creating a learning environment conducive to excellence.
