THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL REHABILITATION ON LEGAL AWARENESS OF DRUG PRISONERS IN CLASS I CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION SURABAYA
Authors: Fariandra Mas Varis Simba Putra , Dr. Karim
Published: June 2024

Law No. 35/2009 Article 54 on narcotics clearly states that narcotics addicts and victims of narcotics abuse must receive medical rehabilitation and social rehabilitation. Drug addiction does not instantly disappear, therefore rehabilitation is needed before they are admitted into the development phase. Not only as a place for the development of prisoners, the correctional institution is also a suitable place to rehabilitate drug prisoners, as is the case in Class I Correctional Institution Surabaya. Therefore, this research is conducted to find out the implementation of social rehabilitation for drug prisoners in Class I Correctional Institution Surabaya; and to find out the effect of social rehabilitation on legal awareness of drug prisoners there. The type of this research is descriptive qualitative combined with juridical-empirical approach. The researcher used primary and secondary data to collect the data. Primary data was obtained from the development and security section at Class I Correctional Institution Surabaya, while secondary data was obtained from literature review derived from regulations and laws related to the research topic. The implementation of social rehabilitation at Class I Correctional Institution Surabaya is in accordance with the Correctional Rehabilitation Service Provider Standards issued by the Directorate General of Corrections in 2020; and Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights of Indonesia No. 12/2017 on the Implementation of Narcotics Rehabilitation for Prisoners. The programs provided during the social rehabilitation are very effective on the legal awareness of drug prisoners. Social rehabilitation include psychological and social aspects. These programs directly affect their understanding of the surrounding environment. From the research results, it is concluded that increased law enforcement against drug trafficking helps prevent drug consumption. The quality and quantity of correctional officers need to be supported to assist the implementation of assistance in prisons to be even more effective.

CRIMINAL LAW ENFORCEMENT THROUGH THE PERSPECTIVE OF COMMUNITY JUSTICE: THEORETICAL ANALYSIS AND PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION
Authors: Yahman Dr. Yahman
Published: June 2024

The enforcement of law in Indonesia has become less equitable these days. Law enforcement tends to ignore justice, whereas justice should be a basic and legal reality. The judiciary as the main institution in law enforcement will lose its function when the law is perceived as an institution that can be manipulated, commercialized, and some legal experts have referred to it as the territory of the jurisdictional mafia. The jurisdictional mafia protects itself by referring to legal supremacy. However, in order to achieve the rule of law, justice and utility are compromised. This research aims to identfy the theoretical analysis and practical implementation of criminal law enforcement through the perspective of community justice. This research used normative methods, with a conceptual and statutory approach. The result indicated that there is a crisis in the implementation of justice, especially in the implementation of law enforcement, due to the existence of an invalid paradigm among those who enforce the law. In addition, the law enforcement officials, especially judges, tend only implement the law in a literal manner. Furthermore, law enforcement apparatus has not completely comprehended that the main purpose of equitable law enforcement is to create law to realize human welfare and harmony.

The Status of Physical Education in Arizona’s Colleges and Universities
Authors: Murray Steve , Heumann Kristin
Published: June 2024

One hundred years ago, physical education was nearly universal in American higher education, with 97 percent of institutions requiring it. The standard mostly continued through the 1960s, when 84-87 percent of institutions required it. By 2012, though, the percentage fell to 39.5, and in 2023, researchers reported, via sampling, that 31.7 percent of institutions required all undergraduate students to take physical education, and another 12.1 percent partially required it. Sampling, while statistically sound, has limitations. To better assess the prominence of physical education across America, examining offerings state-by-state is necessary and has been undertaken for several states thus far. This study investigated the status of physical education in Arizonan higher education institutions to compare to other states’ data and the recently published national sampling data. The specific graduation requirements of each institution were analyzed. Of Arizona’s 29 traditional colleges and universities, 24 (82.75\%) offer physical education; none (0\%) dictates physical education as a graduation requirement for every student, and 15 (51.7\%) have physical education as requirements in particular disciplines or as a general education option. The current trend in higher education is that required physical education is declining, and the results from this study, unfortunately, support this trend. However, most Arizonan higher education institutions offer physical education, and over half allow physical education to count as an option for a graduation requirement. Faculty can use these results to advocate for maintaining and initiating physical education in higher education because the research is clear: Physical education is known to improve students’ health and wellness.

Published: June 2024

Aim. The aim of the work is to determine the rehabilitation impact on the work ability and functional status of the hospitalized COVID-19 survivors.
Materials and methods. The study covered 163 probands (101 women; 62 men) from the Prešov Region (Slovakia) that were hospitalized with COVID-19 disease. Age of the subjects ranged from 32 to 62 years. The experimental group contained 87 patients (55 women; 32 men) and underwent inpatient rehabilitation treatment during their stay in the hospital. The control group consisted of 76 patients (46 women; 30 men), who were not provided with the rehabilitation treatment. In all probands, we assessed the work ability index (WAI) and a Patient self-report methods for the Post-Covid-19 Functional Status Scale (PCFS).
Results. The experimental group of patients after returning to work showed significantly higher work ability (p = 0.005) and functional status (p = 0.001) compared to the control group. Patients with psychologically demanding type of work that underwent rehabilitation treatment had also significantly higher work ability (p = 0.022) and functional status (p = 0.042) compared with the other group. Similar results were recorded among the probands with a combination of both types of work – physically and psychologically demanding (p < 0.001). In the physically demanding type of work, the result was not statistically significant between the groups.
Conclusions. The inpatient form of rehabilitation for the patients hospitalized with COVID-19 has a beneficial effect on the work ability and functional status after discharge from the hospital.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of ingesting royal jelly at doses of 1500 mg, 3000 mg, and 4500 mg after 48 hours of high-intensity weight training on malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and pain intensity measured by visual analog scale (VAS). A total of 16 participants were randomly assigned to four groups: placebo, 1500 mg, 3000 mg, and 4500 mg of royal jelly sports gel. Blood samples were collected before and after the intervention to measure MDA levels, and pain intensity was assessed using VAS. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in MDA levels in the 4500 mg royal jelly group compared to the placebo group. In terms of pain intensity, the 4500 mg royal jelly group also exhibited a significant decrease compared to the placebo group, while no significant changes were observed in the 1500 mg and 3000 mg groups. These findings suggest that the consumption of royal jelly sports gel at a dosage of 4500 mg may have a positive impact on reducing oxidative stress and pain intensity after high-intensity weight training. Further research is warranted to explore the potential mechanisms and optimal dosages of royal jelly in enhancing recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage.

Authors: Mukholid Agus , Kustiawan Andri Arif , Sastaman Putra
Published: June 2024

The implementation of Pencak Silat theory and practice courses still lacks learning media. The tendency for Pencak Silat courses to use learning media in teaching pencak silat has never changed. The learning process for Pencak Silat courses always uses simple learning media and does not utilize the latest technology in learning, namely still using examples of direct movements demonstrated by the lecturer himself and assisted by teaching assistants. To make it easier to understand and practice the basic movements of Pencak Silat, procedures are needed in the form of audio-visual media processes and stages in learning. It will be easier for lecturers and students to learn if they know and understand the procedures for developing audiovisual media for learning basic Pencak Silat at sports universities.

In addition to species and their subspecies, there are also their varieties. Karate comes to the rescue in case of danger.The purpose of the study is to consider the types of karate in a historical and applied context.Methods and organization of research – In karate, the student's degree is "kyu" and the master's degree is "given". The average number of them is ten, but due to different styles it may differ. The number of "kyu" decreases with increasing master level, and the number of "dan", on the contrary, increases. In order to get the next level, you need to show the skill of performing kata and free combat. Most mistakenly believe that the degrees in karate depend on the results of the competitions. The pre-meth that shows the degree in karate is the belt.The results and their discussion – in total, there are about 10 different styles, the emergence of which is associated with different applied tasks.Conclusions. It can be said that the difference between schools is precisely in the formulation of a certain movement, the use of body parts, racks designed for this, and the number of jumps. The basic technique is the same for everyone – it is enough just to read the description of the subtle details of karate do in a verified source.

Yhä useampi lapsi ja nuori ilmaisee sukupuoltaan normatiivisesta sukupuolikäsityksestä poikkeavilla tavoilla. Siksi tarvitsemme tutkimusta siitä, miten sukupuoli ja sukupuolen moninaisuus ovat läsnä peruskoulussa. Tässä artikkelissa lähestymme sukupuolta peruskoulussa transtutkimuksen näkökulmasta. Tarkastelemme elämäkertahaastattelujen ja laadullisen sisällönanalyysin avulla sukupuolivähemmistöihin kuuluvien nuorten aikuisten kokemuksia siitä, miten heidän on ollut mahdollista toimia koulussa sukupuolisina subjekteina. Esitämme, että koulun informaaleihin rakenteisiin sisältyy monia sukupuolittuneita käytäntöjä, jotka ovat ristiriidassa peruskoulun tasa-arvotavoitteiden kanssa ja jotka vahingoittavat erityisesti sukupuoltaan normeista poikkeavilla tavoilla ilmaisevia oppilaita. Näiden rakenteiden näkyväksi tekemiseen ja purkamiseen tarvitaan transpedagogiikkaa ja sukupuolitietoista kasvatusta, jossa huomioidaan sukupuolen moninaisuus.

“I knew that somehow I didn’t belong”: Experiences of transgender students in Finnish comprehensive education Liekki Valaskivi & Varpu AlasuutariThe Finnish Journal of Youth Research(Nuorisotutkimus) Vol 42 (2), 3–18
As the number of gender non-conforming students increases, there is a growing need for research into how gender and gender diversity are presented in comprehensive education. In this article, we approach gender in schools from the perspective of trans studies. Using life story interviews and qualitative content analysis, we examine transgender young adults’ experiences of operating at school as gendered subjects. We propose that the informal structures within the school institution contain many gendered practices that contradict the gender equality goals of comprehensive education, and which are particularly harmful to gender non-conforming students. To make these structures visible and eventually dismantle them, we must employ trans pedagogy and gender-conscious education that acknowledges gender diversity.

Published: June 2024

Sanomalehdissä puhuttiin 1950-luvulla kaupunkien nuoriso-ongelmasta, joka nähtiin seuraukseksi kasvavasta nuorten määrästä ja vapaa-ajan lisääntymisestä. Tämä keskustelu sai 1950- ja 1960-lukujen taitteessa uuden kehyksen, kun nuoriso-ongelmaa alettiin sanomalehdissä sanoittaa jengin käsiteellä. Tässä artikkelissa tutkimme ”jengiin” liittyvien merkitysten rakentumista suomalaisissa sanomalehdissä vuosina 1956–1965. Kutsumme tätä ajanjaksoa suomalaisen jengikeskustelun ensimmäiseksi aalloksi. Sanomalehtikirjoittelun kautta selvitämme, mitä jengi-sanalla tarkoitettiin ja millaisia merkityksiä jengille nuorten ryhmätoiminnan kuvaajana annettiin. Aineistona hyödynnämme Kansallisarkiston digitaalista sanomalehtikokoelmaa. Tutkimuksen lähestymistapa on mediahistoriallinen. Lehtitekstien analyysimenetelmänä on kontekstoiva lähiluku, jossa yhdistyy sisällön erittely sekä historiantutkimukselle ominainen lähdekritiikki. Artikkelissa osoitamme, että jengikeskustelun ensimmäinen aalto kiinnittyi yhteiskunnan rakennemuutokseen. Nuorten lisääntynyt vapaa-aika ja oleilu kaupunkiympäristöissä, populaarikulttuuri, ulkomaiset vaikutteet ja perinteisen yhteiskuntajärjestyksen mureneminen muuttivat sosiaalisia rakenteita ja merkityksiä. Sanomalehtien jengikeskustelu oli muuttuneen sosiaalisen järjestyksen tulkitsemista ja ymmärtämistä. Se oli myös uudenlaisen nuoruuden sanoittamista. Kaupungistuvan ja teollistuvan Suomen sanomalehdet etsivät vastauksia nuorisokasvatuksen peruskysymyksiin: kuka kasvattaa, kuka valvoo?

In the 1950s, Finnish newspapers extensively discussed the problem of urban youth. This discussion took on a new framework at the turn of the 1960s when newspapers began using the term “gang”.In this article, we examine the construction of meanings related to “gang” in Finnish newspapers between 1956 and 1965. Through newspaper articles, we explore what was meant by the word gang and what kinds of meanings were given to gangs as descriptions of the group activities of young people.The data for the article were gathered from the National Archives’ digital newspaper collection. The research approach is media historical. The results show that writing about gangs was a method borrowed from abroad to frame the modernizing youth in a new way.

Financial inclusion is a global initiative designed to bring on board the unbanked or financially excluded segment of the population into financial sector. The present study examines the nexus between financial inclusion and financial literacy, and possible implication to persons with disabilities in Funtua local government.  Quantitative research designed was adopted, and primary type of data is employed which include questionnaire, interview and focus group discussion. Cluster sampling technique is used in the study, where two (2) groups of persons with disabilities are selected; these are blind/visual impaired and physically impaired. The population of the study covers all persons with disabilities in Funtua, while ninety (90) respondents are selected from the two groups to represent the whole population. Table, percentage, OLS regression and Pairwise correlation were employed as methods to analyse the data. The study has failed to established financial literacy as an impediment to the realization of financial inclusion agenda, most especially to persons with disabilities; rather it is the low level of income, poverty and unemployment that contribute significantly to low access to financial services or financial inclusion. Unexpectedly, the study found a high financial literacy among PwDs which was attributed to advancement in communication technology and digital financial economy initiated by government, particular period after Covid-19 lockdown. Therefore, the study recommends that government should create employment opportunities targeting mainly PwDs, this will go a long way in ensuring regular income and poverty reduction. Also the need for Banks to improve on services provision and to overcome all challenges related to network glitches, so as to restore confidence on the Banking system and make their products and service more accessible and attractive.
Frieden mit Europa? – Anmerkung zum Beschluss des BVerfG v. 6.2.2024, 2 BvE 6/23 u.a. (Direktwahlakt 2018 - Zwei-Prozent-Sperrklausel)

Der nachstehend kommentierte Beschluss des Zweiten Senats des BVerfG überrascht in positiver Hinsicht: Hervorzuheben ist vor allem die europafreundliche Grundhaltung, die sich bei einer engen Auslegung des integrationsfesten Verfassungskerns sowie dem Fehlen jeglicher kritischer Andeutung in Richtung einer zu weitreichenden Integration oder übergriffigen Unionsorganen niederschlägt. Auch weicht die aktuelle gerichtliche Analyse der Funktionsbedingungen des Europäischen Parlaments erkennbar von der in früheren Entscheidungen vorgenommenen Einschätzung ab.

Data is increasingly recognized as central in addressing social, political, and economic challenges. This article utilizes the concept of boundary work to illustrate how the European Union (EU) advances its strategic interests through data and market control. Specifically, the EU aims to enhance the competitiveness of European companies and address social issues while upholding European values. Through the analysis of three case studies – recent data legislation, the promotion of common European data spaces, and the IPCEI-CIS on cloud edge computing – the article evaluates the effectiveness of EU actions in this complex arena. Consequently, it contributes to the growing literature examining the EU’s evolving role as a geopolitical actor, framing these endeavors as a new form of industrial policy in the data economy.
Erfahrungen von Prostituierten während der Coronapandemie
Authors: Küster Robert
Published: June 2024

Ab dem Frühjahr 2020 führten die weltweiten Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der COVID-19-Pandemie zu erheblichen Einschränkungen, die alle Lebensbereiche und damit natürlich auch die Prostitution betrafen. So wurden zum Beispiel in Deutschland Prostitutionsbetriebe vorübergehend geschlossen, und das Anbieten sexueller Dienstleistungen war zeitweise in Gänze verboten oder unterlag strengen Auflagen. Früh wurde – etwa von Selbstvertretungsorganisationen – auf negative Auswirkungen der Pandemie auf Prostituierte hingewiesen, namentlich auf Einkommensverluste, einen erschwerten Zugang zu öffentlichen Hilfen und auf die Gefahr der Wohnungslosigkeit. Diese Einschätzung hat sich mittlerweile in Forschungsarbeiten bestätigt. Sie zeigen, dass Prostituierte trotz Verbots vielfach zur Finanzierung ihres Lebensunterhalts weiterarbeiten mussten, dies allerdings oft unter verschärften Bedingungen und erhöhtem Druck. Die vorliegende Arbeit knüpft hieran an und untersucht mittels eines Literaturreviews, der narrativen und systematischen Ansätzen folgt, eingehend die Auswirkungen der Coronapandemie auf Prostituierte. Drei Hauptforschungsfragen leiten die Untersuchung: (1) Welche (negativen) Erfahrungen werden in den ausgewerteten Studien berichtet? (2) Wie hängen diese Erfahrungen mit der Coronapandemie zusammen? (3) Lassen sich Merkmale von Prostituierten feststellen, die das Risiko eines Negativerlebens in der Prostitution erhöht haben? Die Ergebnisse belegen eine Zunahme negativer Erfahrungen in der Interaktion von Prostituierten mit verschiedenen Personen bzw. Einrichtungen, vor allem aber im Kontakt mit Prostitutionskund*innen. In den herangezogenen Studien wurde dabei insbesondere das pandemiebedingte Verbot der Prostitutionsausübung als maßgeblicher Einflussfaktor identifiziert.

SUSTAINABLE SOCIAL RECONCILIATION PROCESS AND APPROACHES IN DIVIDED SOCIETIES: THE CASE OF THE ALI-SAAID CONFLICT
Authors: I. Abdulahi Hamdi
Published: June 2024

The Ali-Saaid district in Somaliland faces ongoing conflict between local communities, further intensifying the humanitarian crisis caused by severe drought. This ongoing violence has severely affected vulnerable groups, particularly women, children, and families, leading to the closure of community learning centers and overwhelming limited government and police resources. The conflict drains resources and undermines stability, emphasizing the importance of resource allocation in peacebuilding. This chapter discusses the imbalance between resources devoted to conflict and those designated for peacebuilding, advocating for a more deliberate and sustained approach to transform peace ideals into reality. However, it warns against unstructured resource distribution, such as using livestock for blood compensation, which might inadvertently escalate conflicts. To foster peace in Somaliland, the chapter suggests categorizing resources into community-based (e.g., livestock, monetary contributions) and state-based (e.g., infrastructure, services). It also highlights key peace-promoting elements, like reducing harm to vulnerable groups, prompt settlement of Diya claims, and the crucial role of clan elders in maintaining peace. Additionally, it underscores “flashpoints” where conflicts are likely to erupt, such as clan tensions, generational divides, unmanaged urbanization, and friction between internally displaced persons and host communities, calling for comprehensive strategies to ensure long-lasting peace.

Published: June 2024

Extended series of red-emitting rhodamine dyes were synthesized and tested. This revealed the real factors determining the quality of STED (stimulated emission depletion) imaging, dye photostability in general, and stability of the corresponding reactive labels. Previously overlooked and underestimated observations are now being highlighted and discussed. So are some very important syntheses-related aspects. The studies were also expanded on far-red emitting oxazine and silicon rhodamine dyes. An intriguing discovery emerged when certain fluorophores, which were originally designed for STED, demonstrated an ability to discern between viable and dead bacterial cells. Recent publications by Lucidi and co-workers showed that certain positively charged dyes allow imaging of bacterial membranes using both conventional techniques, for example, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and STED. This opens avenues for investigating membrane biogenesis and diagnostics.

Published: June 2024

Natural dyes yield a remarkable range of items with complex colouration that go well together. Skin that constitutes the outermost part of onion contains certain phytochemicals, such as; cardiac glycosides, tannins, flavonoids (quercetin, etc.), anthocyanidins (pelargonidin, etc.), natural dyestuffs, and reducing sugars in aqueous medium. Among the various phytochemicals, tannins, anthraquinones, and flavonoids are crucial for giving cotton fabric its shade and vibrancy. Wool has been dyed in the past and present using onion peel. It has historically been utilised in rugs and carpets in Anatolia, Turkey. It can be applied both with and without bio-mordants to silk fabric. Tea leaves, tamarind, aloe vera, and ash from acacia bark are utilised as bio-mordants. Furthermore, colour measurement values, such as Tristimulus characteristics, Lab values, and munsell notations, are applied to dyed materials.

Authors: Bazari Mobina , Najmoddin Najmeh
Published: June 2024

Skin tissue engineering, a critical area within regenerative medicine, focuses on creating functional replacements for damaged or diseased skin. Electrospray ionization has emerged as a promising method in this field due to its precision in biomaterial and bioactive molecule deposition. This chapter discusses electrospray’s role in revolutionizing scaffold fabrication, cell encapsulation, and therapeutic delivery in skin engineering. Electrospray allows for the production of scaffolds that mimic the skin’s extracellular matrix, enhancing cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. It also enables efficient encapsulation of growth factors, promoting sustained release at targeted sites to improve wound healing and skin regeneration. Electrospray-assisted fabrication of scaffolds has shown superior biocompatibility and structural features over traditional methods. Furthermore, the technology’s capability for directing cell and therapeutic delivery to wound sites introduce personalized treatment options for various skin conditions, making a significant advancement toward the clinical use of engineered skin tissues.
Problem of Teaching Virtue Between the Protagoras and the Phaedrus
Authors: Majerník Jozef
Published: June 2024

Socrates’ final argument in the Protagoras is premised on the surprising identification of the pleasant with the good and argues that virtue is the “art of measurement” that can be easily taught to the Many. The view that virtue can be taught is also espoused by Socrates elsewhere, notably in the Phaedrus. However, while the Protagoras identifies virtue with the art of calculating the greatest pleasure, which is identified with the greatest good, in the Phaedrus virtue is shown to consist in the ceaseless search for the good. I argue that the picture of virtue presented in the Protagoras is in agreement with that of the Phaedrus in that the Protagoras depicts the first stage of the process of learning genuine virtue, which is outlined as a whole in the Phaedrus. The argument of the Protagoras then works as a protreptic: it teaches an elementary way of thinking about the ends of one’s actions and opens up the way toward genuine virtue.

Anselm as Teacher
Authors: Sweeney Eileen C. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: June 2024

The essay examines Anselm’s De libertate arbitrii and De casu diaboli, arguing that the points made about the will and free choice are mirrored in the questions and struggles of the student interlocutor in the dialogues. In contrast to Plato and Aristotle, who want to bring us to see that virtue is the path to happiness, Anselm wants to show that we have free choice and are responsible for not choosing rightly (i.e., choosing justice for its own sake), and that human beings are autonomous but also finite and flawed. For this kind of learning, not just reasoning but insight and self-examination are required, a process reflected in the very human will, willfulness, and weakness of the student as he engages with his teacher.

Authors: Mizan Muhammad , Arif Firdausi N.R  , Muhammad Mukharom Ridho
Published: June 2024

This study discusses women's leadership in the Qur'an. Where the issue of women's leadership is a topic that is always interesting, even seems to be a prolonged polemic, both from men and women themselves, intellectuals and laity. It is also a controversial issue among contemporary scholars, each arguing for whether or not women should be leaders. This research uses Abdul Mustzim's theory, which is the muqarran (comparison) method between Buya Hamka in Al-Azhar and Hasbi Ash-Shiddiqye in An-Nur. The leadership of men over women in the household must not be authoritarian.

This article aims to explore the concept of Islamic moderation and its role in achieving citizenship through the principle of "humanity before religiosity" from the perspective of Habib Ali Zain al-Abidin al-jufri. The study addresses the following research questions: How does Ḥabīb ʿAlī al-Jufrī promote the concept of "humanity before religiosity," and how does this concept contribute to enhancing Islamic moderation and achieving citizenship? The article employs a critical analytical methodology to study the texts and interpretations of Habib Ali Zain al-Abidin al-Jufri, focusing on his interpretations that emphasize human values over strict adherence to religious laws. The study concludes that the principle of "humanity before religiosity" proposed by Ḥabīb ʿAlī al-Jufrī aligns with the core values of humanity and the objectives of Islamic law (Sharia). Ḥabīb ʿAlī al-Jufrī considers humanity as the foundation of moderation, which is the path to achieving citizenship in contemporary society. The research illustrates that the essence of moderation lies in prioritizing human values over religiosity, thereby promoting peaceful coexistence and tolerance among individuals and groups. The article asserts that moderation, as interpreted by Ḥabīb ʿAlī al-Jufrī, is an effective factor in affirming and achieving citizenship amidst religious, ethnic, and political diversity within the context of the nation-state. Achieving citizenship is linked to achieving humanity, where individuals enjoy the freedom of mature choice, including the freedom to choose citizenship. Accordingly, the article highlights the importance of moderation in Islamic interpretation as a means to enhance human values and citizenship, offering new insights into the relationship between religion and citizenship in contemporary societies.
