Authors: Tırman Nurullah , Keçeci İbrahim
Published: June 2024

İslami sermaye piyasasının en önemli enstrümanı olarak görülen sukuk, iktisadi değer sunan bir varlık veya projenin İslami finans sözleşmeleri çerçevesinde menkul kıymetleştirilmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Sukuk sahipleri, menkul kıymetleştirilen varlıklar üzerinden alım-satıma (murabaha), kiralamaya (icâre), vekâlet yoluyla yönetime (el-vekâle bi’l-istismar), ortak girişim (mudârebe/müşâreke) ile bir projenin hayata geçirilmesine veya vadeli üretim sözleşmeleri üzerinden üretime (istisnâ/selem) dayalı olarak gelir elde edebilmektedir. İslami finans prensiplerine uyumlu olarak farklı sözleşme yapıları üzerinden menkul kıymetleştirilen sukuk, varlık-temelli (asset-based) ve/veya varlığa-dayalı (asset-backed) olarak yapılandırılabilmektedir. Sukuk ihracının arkasında dayanak bir varlık bulunsa da çeşitli finansal risklere maruz kalmaktadır. Sukuk; kaynak kuruluş, yatırımcı ve piyasa yapısından kaynaklanan riskler gibi konvansiyonel finansal sistemdeki mevcut menkul kıymetlerin sahip olduğu risklerin yanı sıra İslami finans esasları doğrultusunda fıkhî uyum sorunu, hukuki altyapının yetersiz olması gibi ilave risklere de maruz kalmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, sukuka ilişkin riskler ele alınarak, bu risklerin gerçekleşmesi sonucunda temerrüde düşen ve sukuk piyasasında yankı uyandıran dokuz farklı vaka örneği incelenmiş ve analiz edilmiştir. İncelenen vakalardaki temerrüt durumları, kaynak kuruluşların ticari, mali ve/veya dış faktörlerden kaynaklı problemler nedeniyle, sukuk yatırımcılarına olan yükümlülüklerini tam olarak karşılayamaması ya da zamanında karşılayamaması durumunda ortaya çıkmıştır.

Implementation of the Village Fund Allocation Policy in Bambaira Village, Sarjo District, Pasang Kayu Regency. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach and determines informants purposively. The research informants were the Head of Bambaira Village, BPD of Bambaira Village, Village Secretary of Bambaira Village, Finance Staff and Planning Head of Bambaira Village. Data collection uses observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis uses Miles and Huberman's interactive model approach, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion verification. The research results show that: (1) Policy standards and targets are less effective, such as the village development program implemented by the Bambaira village government through village meetings which is still not on target, giving rise to dynamics or differences in perception between the village government and the BPD in formulating village development programs. (2) Educational resources for implementing Village Fund Allocation in Bambaira Village are still low, thus affecting the quality of work and resources to support facilities for use. Then, in realizing the village fund allocation policy, cooperation is needed, but this has not gone well so matters related to village development still need to be discussed openly, both in formal and non-formal activities.

The objective of this study is to analyze the implementation of electronic goods and services procurement policies in the Procurement Division of the Regional Secretariat of Parigi Moutong Regency.
This research is a qualitative study with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and triangulation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman method, which involves data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification.
The model used in this research is the one developed by Edward III, known as A Model of the Policy Implementation Process. This model identifies four variables that influence the relationship between policy and performance: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure.
The results of the study indicate that the implementation of electronic goods and services procurement in Parigi Moutong Regency has not been optimal. The communication aspect has been functioning well with coordination and socialization in place, but the aspects of resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure are still suboptimal. The main obstacles are the limited number of human resources with IT expertise and inadequate infrastructure. Disposition is not yet optimal as many OPDs (Regional Government Organizations) still use manual methods, and the bureaucratic structure is not fully supportive due to the lack of clear technical guidelines or SOPs.
Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of electronic goods and services procurement in Parigi Moutong Regency has not been optimal. While the communication aspect is functioning well, the aspects of resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure need improvement to achieve better performance.

Authors: Masliković Dejan , Tomić Bojan
Published: June 2024

Persons with disabilities often face barriers that hinder their ability to access information effectively. This study presents results of a survey which was conducted in the second half of 2022, on the topic of the accessibility of information for persons with disabilities in Serbia, as well as their means of communication. A convenience sample of 111 individuals with physical and/or sensory disabilities, with basic digital literacy, aged 18 to 59, was surveyed through the mediation of associations of persons with disabilities. The findings reveal the usage patterns, preferences, and challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in accessing information. It has been found that the internet (99.10%), social networks (91.89%), and specialized platforms (79.28%) are prominent sources of information. Although specialized applications for communication and telephone communication are widely used, personal contact communication (96.40% very often or often) is still the prevalent method of communication. Public institutions and state authorities are perceived as inadequately adapted to the needs of individuals with disabilities. The findings underscore the need for continued efforts to improve accessibility infrastructure and implement inclusive design principles to bridge the information gap for individuals with disabilities in Serbia.

This study analyzed claims settlement and insurance companies’ profitability in Nigeria (1981-2022). Problems arise when there is a claim report. The problems range from non-payment of claims, even when paid, it is not settled promptly and only a negligible proportion of claims are settled. On many occasions, disputes arise in claims settlement between the insured and the insurer. Violation of policy provisions can vitiate an insurance contract and is also capable of hindering claims settlement. The study is an empirical research and the secondary data used for the study were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin and Annual Report of NAICOM. The regression method was used to test the hypothesis. The finding revealed that there are significant influences of total expenditure and total income on the profitability of the Nigerian insurance companies while total claims settlement and total premium income have no significant influences on profitability. It was recommended that there is a need for the insurance industry to carry out sensitization and awareness campaigns on loss control devices for the insured. This reduces the loss frequency and claims amount considerably for sustainable profit. Managers of claims and the holders of policies should be educated in reporting claims processes such as loss minimization, claims verification, investigation, evaluating the degree of the damage preceding any replacement or repair and loss evaluation. This reduces claims report frequency and enhances the profitability and premium income of insurance companies. Insurance income generated in terms of premiums should be reinvested to upsurge insurance companies’ profits.

Authors: Kang Byeong-Gwon , Nam Yunyoung
Published: June 2024

Climate change poses an urgent and significant challenge, with far-reaching impacts already affecting our planet, and projections indicating worsening conditions in the future. The concept of sustainable development aims to meet present needs while safeguarding the ability of future generations to meet their own requirements. However, climate change's effects on sustainable development are of paramount concern, as they amplify issues like poverty, food insecurity, and environmental degradation, affecting economic growth, social progress, and environmental protection. Taking immediate action to mitigate climate change and implement sustainable practices is crucial to ensuring a habitable planet for future generations. In this context, Responsible Artificial Intelligence (RAI) emerges as a promising direction, striving for ethical and responsible technology use in diverse sustainable development tasks. RAI proves to be a robust candidate for empowering climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. This study introduces a theoretical RAI framework designed to support climate action by responsibly enabling more accurate predictions and analysis of climate data, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The framework emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary collaboration among policymakers, scientists, and technicians to develop RAI solutions that advance sustainable development and alleviate the adverse impacts of climate change. Unlike previous works, this research presents a novel perspective on the principles of RAI that explicitly consider climate-related aspects. By laying the foundations of AI research to bolster our fight against climate change, this article establishes essential pillars that encourage further advancements in this critical endeavor.

Mikä särähtää? Antropologisia näkökulmia tutkijan positioon, traditioon ja politiikkaan
Authors: Alava Henni

Mikä sinulla särähtää korvaan? Tässä esityksessä lähestyn viime vuosien tiedekeskusteluissa kohujakin aiheuttaneita kysymyksiä positionaalisuudesta ja refleksiivisestä tiedontuotannosta tämän arkisen kysymyksen kautta. Pohdintani ammentaa niin lapsuusmuistoistani, ugandalaisten kirkkojen parissa tekemästäni kenttätyöstä, kuin tämänhetkisestä tutkimuksestani, jossa seuraan lasten pitkittynyttä kipua antropologisen ja lääketieteellisen tiedon rajapinnoille. Keskeinen väitteeni on, että tietämisellä ja tulkinnalla on rajat, sillä jokainen tietäjä ja tulkitsija sijaitsee tietyssä ajassa ja paikassa, tietyllä kehomielellä, elämänkokemuksella, tiedoilla ja arvoilla varustettuna. Särähtääkö tämä väite korvaasi? Innostaako se sinua? Vai jättääkö se sinut täysin kylmäksi? Arvelen, että tämän luentoabstraktin lukijoiden reaktiot siihen ovat varsin erilaisia, sillä lukijoiden positio, traditio, ja tiedon politiikkaan liittyvä ajattelu ovat nekin erilaisia. Mutta mitä merkitystä tällä kaikella on tieteelle ja tutkijalle? Onko kysymys särähdyksistä relevantti vain antropologeille, jotka tekevät tutkimusta määritelmällisesti omalla persoonallaan? Vai voisiko ajatus särähdysten sävyttämästä, muovaamasta ja suuntaamasta tiedosta antaa aineksia hedelmällisille pohdinnoille myös muilla tieteenaloilla, ja hyvinkin erilaisten aineisto-, teoria- ja menetelmäperinteiden kanssa askaroivien tutkijoiden työssä?

Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 that can cause respiratory infections. It may affect the sinuses, the upper airways of the nose and throat, or the lower airways of the trachea and lungs. Infections range from mild to deadly. Older people and people of all ages with medical comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes may have a poorer prognosis and be at greater risk for hospital and intensive care unit admissions.
Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the effects of preCOVID-19 comorbidities on the progression of disease severity and outcome in Iraqi patients.
Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on COVID- 19 patients using an online electronic questionnaire in Google form all over Iraq from September 2021 to July 2023. The total number of participants was 789, of whom approximately 282 were excluded, and the net was 507; they received an online questionnaire, The questionnaire literature review was completed after debuting in Arabic after a thor. This self-administered questionnaire consisted of 15 closedended questions and six open questions. Result: < 40 was the highest group affected by COVID-19, and those> 60 years were the most minor group involved. Females are affected more than males. Most of the cases were from the middle region of Iraq. 87.8% of participants have no smoking history. Fever, headache & fatigue were the most prevalent symptoms of patients. Past medical history of hypertension presented in 11.8% of patients, while diabetes mellitus represented 9%, asthma 5.5%, and cardiovascular diseases 4.9%. Other comorbidities were present in lower percentages. The history of hospitalization was positive in 37 patients with past medical comorbidities. Of those patients who were admitted to the hospital, 18 required Intensive care unit admission. Among them, 7 had hypertension, 4 had asthma & 3 had diabetes mellitus. Steroid treatment was given to 9% of patients with COVID-19.
Conclusion: The need for hospitalization and Intensive care unit admission was higher among COVID-19 patients with comorbidities, especially hypertension, followed by diabetes, then asthma, and cardiovascular diseases.

This research investigates the Islamic intellectual network between Nusantara and Central Asia in the 19th and 20th centuries. The study examines the Islamic intellectual network pattern between Nusantara and Central Asia, including the underlying factors of the connection and its influence on Nusantara’s traditional Islamic educational institutions, namely Islamic Boarding School (pesantren). This research employs the historical method and cultural diffusion theory to help the analysis. The research identified a clear influence of the Islamic intellectual network on Nusantara ulama's scholarly output in the 19th and 20th centuries, evident in their works covering various subjects such as 'aqīdah, ḥadīth, fiqh, and tasawwuf. These works, known as Kitab Kuning, derived their name from the yellow papers on which they were commonly written and printed. We also found that al-Azhar (Egypt) and Ḥaramain (Mecca and Medina) were crucial in mediating the Islamic intellectual network between Nusantara and Central Asia. The establishment of pesantren by scholars returning from their studies in Egypt and Ḥaramain marked the final step in linking intellectual genealogy between Nusantara and Central Asia. The formation of the network primarily occurred through two key patterns: knowledge transfer facilitated by teacher-student relationships and the transmission of knowledge through the sanad (knowledge chain).

The Photochemical Dimerization of 4-Nitro-2-Phenylindone. A DFT Study
Authors: D'Auria Maurizio , Emanuele Lucia , Racioppi Rocco
Published: June 2024

A DFT study of the photochemical dimerization on 4-nitro-2-phenylindone has been performed. The reaction was performed by Marussia Bakunin in 1911 but the reaction products were not identified. Calculations allow us to know that the reaction occurred through the first excited singlet state. The nature of the first excited singlet state allowed the formation of both head-to-head and head-to-tail dimers. Finally, the main product was the syn-trans head-to-tail dimer, while the other two compounds found by Bakunin in lower yields were the syn-trans head-to-head dimer and the syn-cis head-to-tail dimer. The results described by Bakunin can not be interpreted assuming the reaction occurred through the formation of the excited triplet state.
