Biografi Alinur: Seorang Penggiat Tradisi Lisan Rambai Kota Pariaman (2000-2022)
Authors: Saputra Randi Alamsyah , Salam M. Abdul
Published: February 2024

This study discusses the issue of Alinur's biography as an oral tradition activist in Rambai village, Pariaman city in the period 2000-2022. The oral tradition that is the object of this study is pasambahan. Pasambahan being one of the oral cultures in Minangkabau, especially in Pariaman City, must be well preserved so that it is not lost by time. Alanur, one of the pasambahan activists who comes from Rambai village, Pariaman city, has a very strong determination in teaching pasambahan with the aim that the younger generation can know the pasambahan well. The problem that arises today is the reduced interest in learning the younger generation in learning pasambahan and the difficulty of finding teachers who teach pasambahan well. This study aims to explain the background of Alinur emerging as a pasambahan teacher and analyze Alinur's work in inheritance and preservation of local pasambahan culture. In this study the author uses the History method which consists of four stages consisting of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and, historiography. The results in this study explain that Alinur lives in Rambai village with a simple life. He has studied in Surau since childhood and he has gained various knowledge such as learning religion, silat, until he learned pasambahan. At first, he participated in pasambahan learning only because of the request of his father who wanted Alinur to know the customs in his area. However, over time he felt interested and began to seriously learn pasambahan. He studied with a variety of different teachers over a short period of time. After he was good at pasambahan, he began to participate in activities related to pasambahan outside the region. Eventually, Alinur feels that this material is very important to be inherited because it is part of the local culture so he teaches people regardless of age and never charges fees. Alinur is now well known to many with his intelligence and he also has students who are even outside the West Sumatra area.
Middle Bronze Age and Hellenistic Mollusk Meals from Soúrpi Bay (Thessaly, Greece)
Authors: Prummel Wietske
Published: February 2024

Mollusk shells from three sites at Soúrpi Bay in Thessaly, Greece, were studied. These are the Middle Bronze Age site of Magoúla Pavlfna, the Hellenistic town of New Halos, and Hellenistic dwellings at the former Southeast Gate of this town. The mollusks of all sites were collected in Soúrpi Bay and in the lagoon that existed just inland from the bay during the Middle Bronze Age. Mollusks from shallow water with a soft floor prevailed at the three sites, among which the Mediterranean lagoon cockle, Cerastoderma glaucum, was most numerous . Significant differences in valve wall thickness were found that presumably can be explained by the change in habitat: the Middle Bronze Age cockles from the lagoon had thick valves, the cockles from the Hellenistic period, which grew in river estuaries, had thinner walls. The inhabitants of the large town of New Halos consumed small as well as large cockles, whereas the inhabitants of the Magoúla Pavlína and the Southeast Gate could be more choosy and consume larger cockles alm6st exclusively. The deep-water species Spondylus gaederopus was gathered by divers more often in the Middle Bronze Age than in the Hellenistid period.
Zooarchaeology of Cinnamon Bay, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands: Pre-Columbian Overexploitation of Animal Resource
Authors: Quitmyer Irvy R.
Published: February 2024

The zooarchaeological remains from a stratigraphic sequence excavated from the ceremonial site of Cinnamon Bay, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, were studied. The samples were recovered using a fine-gauge (1/16 in) screen. During the course of this study, 443 minimum numbers of individuals and 99 species of vertebrates and invertebrates were identified. The fauna was analyzed by estimating the trophic level of reef, inshore, and pelagic zooarchaeological components from three strata representing the Monserrate (ca. A.D. 950), Santa Elena (ca. A.D. 570), and Chican (ca. A.D. 460) ceramic periods. The trophic level model shows an initial increase in the trophic level of taxa from the reef between the Monserrate and Santa Elena periods. This initial increase corresponds to the exponential growth of midden density. Relative to the earlier faunal assemblages, midden density and the mean trophic level of reef resources declines during the Chican period. Greater reliance on pelagic species from the deeper waters offshore and the increased use of mollusks from inshore habitats is also seen. The data show that at low levels of cultural complexity humans can alter their environments. This is particularly true of island biota where biological reservoirs are small.
Geoarchaeological Consideration of the Ryan-Harley Site (8JE1004) in the Wacissa River, Northern Florida
Authors: Balsillie James H. , Means Guy H. , Dunbar James S. , Means Ryan
Published: February 2024

The inundated Ryan-Harley archaeology site (8Je-1004) is located in a swamp forest dissected by channels of the spring-fed Wacissa River. It is thought to represent an undisturbed Middle Paleoindian site placed in time from ~10,90014C yr BP to ~10,500 14C yr BP (Anderson et al. 1996; Goodyear 1999; Dunbar 2002). Distribution and taphonomic analyses of the artifacts and vertebrate faunal remains recovered from the Suwannee point level suggest the artifact assemblage, including the faunal remains, represent an archaeological site component that remains relatively intact since its time of deposition. Additional conformation beyond the artifact suite is also necessary. To accomplish this, granulometric analyses of unconsolidated sediment samples were performed. Samples were collected from and immediately above and below the artifact horizon. Arithmetic probability plots of grain-size distributions suggest that most but not all of the sandy sediments were originally transported and deposited by fluvial processes. The artifact assemblage, faunal remains, and fine fraction eolian sand recovered from the site were deposited subsequent to the fluvial conditions. The granulometric analysis as well as other lines of evidence indicate the Suwannee point level at the Ryan-Harley site is essentially intact with little or no post-depositional reworking.
Use of Fire in Shell Bead Manufacture at Cahokia
Authors: Kozuch Laura
Published: February 2024

This paper reports on the evidence for heat-treatment of marine shell in bead manufacture at the Cahokia site in Illinois. Of burned shell fragments, high percentages of burned columellas were found, suggesting that columellas were targeted for heat treatment. Additionally, the presence of all shell elements reveals that whole lightning whelk shells (Busycon sinistrum) were transported to Cahokia for artifact manufacture, probably after being de-fleshed. A columella bead-working reduction sequence is presented.
Soldiers’ Diet at Valley Forge: An Analysis of the Faunal Remains from the 2000 Excavation Season
Authors: Campana Douglas V. , Crabtree Pam J.
Published: February 2024

The 2000 excavation season at Valley Forge National Historical Park focused on the excavation of huts and other features associated with the 1 st and 2nd Pennsylvania Brigades, In addition to a rich and diverse assemblage of Revolutionary artifacts, the 2000 excavations produced a sizable collection of animal bone remains. Most of the faunal remains were recovered from features associated with the enlisted men's huts. Both historical sources and the recently excavated faunal remains indicate that the Pennsylvania brigades were provisioned with beef, pork, and small quantities of fish. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the faunal remains from the 2000 excavation season.
An Illustrated Guide to Trunk Vertebrae of Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus) and Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) in Florida
Authors: Walker Karen J.
Published: February 2024

The cottonmouth, Or water moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorus), and the diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) are distributed throughout Florida and their skeletal remains, usually vertebrae, are often present in zooarchaeological assemblages. Although the two viperid snakes exhibit different habitat preferences—one a semi-aquatic snake, the other terrestrial-their vertebrae are very similar. This illustrated guide helps to distinguish between the vertebrae of the two taxa. A strategy of limiting species identifications to the middle trunk series of mature adults and employing multiple characteristics is recommended to overcome the intracolumnar and individual variability that occurs in the vertebrae of these snakes.
Screen Size and the Need for Reinterpretation: A Case Study from the Northwest Coast
Authors: Stewart Kathlyn M. , Wigen Rebecca J.
Published: February 2024

There has been much discussion in the archaeological literature on the utilization of different screen mesh sizes for recovering faunal elements, with many researchers decrying the use of the 6.4 mm (1/4") screen, which allows small elements to fall through the mesh. There has been less discussion on the merits of the data obtained through recovery of smaller elements, specifically, is the "new data" worth the extra time and labor? This paper examines faunal material from three sites from the Northwest coast of Canada. The material has been recovered using either 6.4 mm or 2.8 mm (1/8") mesh screens. The results suggest that elements of herring and other small fish have been greatly underestimated in Northwest coast sites, and that these formed an important part of the coast economy and subsistence. Where salmon, a large fish with often well preserved elements, has been seen as the mainstay of Northwest diet and economy, excavation with small-mesh screens may indicate a much greater importance for herring and other small fish on the coast. For accurate reconstruction of past lifeways, at least on the Northwest coast, screens with mesh 2.8 mm must be used for at least a substantial part of the matrix, in combination with the 6.8 mm mesh.

Competency of Shariah Auditors in Islamic Banking Institutions: ‎Challenges and Pragmatic Solution
Authors:   International Islamic University, SHAFIQUE ESHAA , AYMEN DUR-E- ,   International Islamic University, SHAHZAD MUHAMMAD ASGHAR ,   International Islamic University
Published: February 2024

Islamic banking is a Shariah-compliant alternative to the conventional banking system. All operations, products, and businesses adhere to Shariah guidelines in Islamic banking. The responsibility of Shariah auditors is to ensure that all the operations of the Islamic bank align with Shariah rules and principles. The job of Shariah auditors is very sensitive compared to any other audit because the findings of Shariah auditors serve as the basis for the Shariah board to form an opinion about the Shariah compliance environment of Islamic banks. The study will focus on the challenges of the competence of Shariah auditors in the Islamic finance industry and will draw conclusions using qualitative and quantitative methods. The paper will be divided into two parts: in the first part, researchers will collect data using survey methods and analyze it; in the second part of the study, interviews with experts will be included. The paper will be helpful for practitioners, policymakers, and specifically for the State Bank of Pakistan to enhance the Shariah compliance environment in the Islamic Finance Industry.
In Search of a Sustainable Economy; Will Islamic Banking Help Nepal and ‎Nepali Muslims?‎
Authors:   Indonesian International Islamic University, SHAMIM SAEMAH
Published: February 2024

This article attempts to shed light on the issue of "why Nepal should adopt Islamic banking." The research presented in this conceptual and theoretical work is based on a thorough review of the literature. This paper will begin with a discussion of why the current banking system needs to be updated or changed, followed by an examination of its characteristics and how it might benefit Nepal's economy. The possibility of Islamic finance functioning as a microfinance tool by involving those who do not engage in economic activity will also be explored in this study. This article also argues for the need to set aside theological differences in order to embrace Islamic financing for the upliftment of underprivileged Muslim and non-Muslim minorities. Islamic finance has several advantages that cannot be dismissed based solely on the name or the notion that it is only for Muslims. To assist underprivileged populations in escaping poverty, Nepal's economy requires a banking system that would operate for welfare rather than profit. The only means of helping those who are below the poverty line to increase their wage rate are interest-free loans and microfinance tools.
Economic System of Islām as a Panacea to Economic Recession in Nigeria ‎
Authors:   Lagos state University, Akanni Dr. Sanni Mukaila , Olatoye Dr. Mubin ,   Raji Hill City University
Published: February 2024

The National Bureau of statistics in July 2016 officially announced that Nigeria has entered into a recession, its first in 29 years. According to the data provided by the World Bank, the most recent time that the nation saw such a significant instance of economic downturn was while Ibrahim Babangida was in power. During that time period, the economy of Nigeria had a decline of 0.51% in the first quarter of 1987 and 0.82% in the second quarter of the same year. The disaggregation of the results for 2016 into its individual quarters revealed the sharpest decline, which was 2.4 percent, and a turning point after that. This is going by the manifestation of economic hardships experienced by the populace, even up to this moment. In point of fact, Nigeria's economy went from a level of economic buoyancy to a level of economic recession in the second quarter of 2016, and it has maintained negative growths in all quarters of that year up to 2017. This downward trend is expected to continue throughout 2017. In a bid to cushion the effect of this situation, the government in the short and medium terms took some measures (policies and reforms) to reverse the recession and put it on the path of growth reliance. In spite of these encouraging developments and despite the fact that it has been two years since the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) officially declared that Nigeria had emerged from recession in its quarterly report on the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the country's economic situation is still difficult, particularly with regard to the continued high cost of food. For a long-term solution, this paper, therefore, examines some measures of Islamic economic system, which is recession proof, due to the fact that it is basically premised on the fundamental sources of Islam, Sharī῾ah. The paper concludes that if these measures are taken into consideration by the government, it will not only lift the economy out of its current phase but will also guarantee a secure economy. The paper adopts analytical research methods, using majorly secondary data collection.

The concept of Sustainability has been gaining steam in the past few decades in the boardrooms of corporations and regulators in order to decisively address the ecological and social impacts of operations carried by thousands of organizations around the globe. The ESG Score has been established in order to uniformly assess the considerations and effectiveness of initiatives taken by organizations to improve their ecological outlook, or internal relations and interactions among various levels of staff throughout the organizational structure. This paper aims to assess any relationship that may arise between the valuation and capital structure of an organization through assessing the ESG Score, as well as its individual components, namely Environmental, Social and Governance components, upon the Cost of Equity, Cost of Debt, Return on Equity, and Dividend Payout Ratio. The methodology used to observe any correlation between these variables is to conduct OLS regressions between the ESG Score, as well as each of its individual components, with the variables relating to the different methods of valuation, namely the Discounted Cash Flow Model and the Dividend Discount Model. A positive causality was observed between the environmental score and both free cash flow and profitability. Furthermore, we noted a strong association between the overall ESG score and the dividend payout ratio. Further observations were derived from juxtapositions between indices of publicly traded companies ranked based on their ESG performance and companies ranked by their equity, in the markets situated in the United Arab Emirates and the United States. Comparisons were also made between indices assessing the performance of conventional Bonds and Green Bonds.

The waqf institution is one of the economic potentials in Islam which in its history has made a major contribution to the progress of human civilization, including improving economic welfare in society. Managing waqf in a trustworthy and professional manner is important to increase waqf assets and benefits. In this case, the nazhir plays an important role in managing waqf both independently and in collaboration with business entities. Partnerships can be entered into by nazhir with various parties including the Company. In Islamic Law, we recognize the concept of Syirkah (partnership) for business collaboration, including in the formation of companies. This research examines how syirkah as a concept of economic cooperation originates from Islamic law in nazhir partnerships managing waqf assets including the potential for forming waqf-based companies. The analysis method is a normative juridical, namely through a legal approach, both national law and Islamic law, which is supported by empirical data in the field related to companies that manage waqf. Through this article, it is hoped that we can provide an appropriate model for implementing the syirkah/partnership concept in waqf management, including the concept of forming a waqf-based company that can be offered to increase the professionalism of waqf management. Syirkah as the basic concept of company formation in Islam, can be integrated into the formation of a company to manage waqf assets. syirkah amlaak which comes from joint ownership assets that are donated and managed productively, then the results are distributed according to the purpose of the waqf pledge. Besides that, the principles of syirkah inan and syirkah mudharabah can also be applied, which are components of cash waqf that are used as business capital and the profits for the purpose of waqf. An interesting new paradigm for collaboration between waqf and companies includes the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program. Through the CSR Program, Waqf Management will synergize with company activities in a professional and sustainable manner.

Addressing Technical and Environmental Obstacles in Livestock Management for Enhanced Drinking Water Quality
Authors:   Biological Sciences Kampala International University Uganda, Bitikoro Rita D.
Published: February 2024

Water is a vital nutrient for livestock, constituting 60 to 70 percent of their body composition. It plays a crucial role in maintaining body fluids, ion balance, digestion, nutrient absorption, waste elimination, and temperature regulation. Additionally, water serves as a lubricant and cushion for joints, spinal cord, and tissues, ranking second only to oxygen in essentiality for life. Despite its importance, water can also serve as a vehicle for transmitting pathogenic organisms, posing a significant concern for livestock health. Access to safe water remains a challenge, as the cost is prohibitive for many, leading to reliance on available water sources regardless of their quality. Given the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in freshwater bodies, routine assessment is essential to prevent future disease outbreaks among livestock populations.

From the study discussions the demographic profile of our respondents, highlighting its implications on our data. The agricultural practices prevalent in the region, the economic indicators that define the community’s prosperity, and the crucial indicators of food security were deliberated upon in depth. Drawing the study results, the study concluded that the tapestry of Gedo, Jubaland, Somalia, is a complex interplay of tradition, resilience, challenges, and aspirations. At the heart of this narrative is a community deeply rooted in its agricultural practices, where livestock rearing emerges not just as an occupation, but as a way of life. The reliance on traditional farming, while indicative of a rich cultural heritage, also points to opportunities for growth and modernization. Lastly from the study conclusion and findings the study recommended that embrace Modern Agricultural Practices: While traditional farming has sustained Gedo for generations, there are benefits to integrating modern techniques. Workshops and training sessions focused on sustainable farming, crop rotation, and soil conservation can lead to improved yields and better food security.

Climate Change Implications for Agricultural Productivity: A Comprehensive Analysis
Authors:   Department of Education Kampala International Uganda, Adamu Aron Jane
Published: February 2024

The impact of climate change on global agriculture has been noticeable in recent decades, with rapid trends affecting various agricultural regions. As we look to the future, concerns about food security arise, prompting questions about the potential effects on aggregate productivity. Numerous factors, such as population growth, income disparities, dietary preferences, disease incidence, and competing demands for land and water resources, will influence global food security in the coming decades. While studies indicate that the overall food supply worldwide may not be seriously jeopardized by projected climate changes, there is a growing consensus that food insecurity in Africa will intensify. The risk of hunger is expected to increase both in terms of percentage and absolute numbers throughout the century. Despite projections suggesting a relatively minimal impact on the global average supply of calories in the next few decades, ranging from close to zero to potentially 20% to 30% of overall yield trends, the complexity of the issue is underscored by significant regional variations. The global perspective on food security conceals nuanced changes at smaller scales, which could have substantial implications even if overall production is maintained. To mitigate uncertainties in understanding global impacts, this paper recommends improving estimates of global warming rates and the responsiveness of crop yields to both warming and increased carbon dioxide levels. The responsiveness of yields is intricately linked to various factors, including genetic improvements made to crops, making it essential to address these variables for a more accurate assessment of future scenarios.

Even in the modern era with increased awareness about foodborne illness, it still remains a serious public health issue, everywhere around the world, and food handling, preparation and service are crucial practices for food safety. The factor of cookware preparation, storage systems, and/or the versatility and level of education of food handlers are all types of food safety factors that directly or indirectly influence food safety to some degree. Properly nailing down food hygiene first entails looking closely into personal hygiene and the conduct of employees working in food businesses. The food handlers with poor personal hygiene may, in close proximity to the food, be carriers of intestinal helminths, protozoa, and enteropathogenic bacteria. This is when the hands of the handlers can carry excreta from their feces, and they spread it into food with their fingers, thereby leading to infections in the customers. This study assessed the most influential risk factors causing food vendor's illness, identifies several of them, like the groceries, raw food and quality; food prepared and handled in the streets; transportation; absence of regulations involving time and specific holding temperature; and the environment's cleanliness. Nevertheless, the research work came to reveal that various aspects of street food safety are persistently being taken into much account in consuming what belongs to dissimilar socio-economic grouping. Therefore, since the economic benefits of street food trading are incalculable, it is very critical that authorities strengthened and implemented the policies/ regulations in order to ensure food safety.

The Influence of Human Activity and Environmental Factors on Gully Erosion

Gully erosion, far from confined to specific terrains like badlands or mountainous areas, stands as a global issue contributing significantly to land degradation across various soil types susceptible to crusting or piping. Even after initial triggers cease, formed gullies can persistently generate sediment. This study delves into the multifaceted influences of geology, climate, slope morphology, vegetation, human impact, and soil properties on gully development and broader soil erosion. Drawing from empirical examples globally and locally, it underscores the pivotal role of local soil characteristics in propagating erosion, particularly the gully variant. Anthropogenic factors, especially land use practices and their impact on vegetation, weigh heavily. Rampant deforestation coupled with insufficient re-vegetation or afforestation initiatives have exacerbated the looming erosion threats, contributing to catastrophic consequences. Despite the effectiveness of various strategies in preventing and addressing gully erosion, their sustained implementation on a large scale remains elusive. Thus, research priorities must encompass sub-surface flow erosion mechanisms, predictive models, and the intricate dynamics influencing farmers' adoption or rejection of conservation strategies. To combat soil erosion comprehensively, a holistic approach to soil conservation becomes imperative. This entails employing hydrological or bioenvironmental processes to regulate overland flow and curb excessive runoff. Prioritizing these aspects can inform more robust strategies for soil conservation, mitigating the pervasive impact of erosion on our lands.

Codex Cumanicus’un Söz Varlığı ile Kumuk Türkçesinin Söz Varlığının Ses ve Anlam Farklılığı Görülmeyen Kelimeler Bakımından Karşılaştırılması
Authors: PELER Gökçe Yükselen , KOCABAŞ Beytullah
Published: February 2024

Ses ve anlam değişmeleri lehçeler arasında görülebilen, bir dilin lehçelerindeki ayırt edici özelliklerden birisidir. Ses değişmeleri kelime başlarında, kelime ortalarında ve kelime sonlarında görülebilir. Lehçeler arasındaki bu ses değişmelerinin en önemli sebeplerinden birisi de zamanla lehçeler arası farklılıkların oluşmasıdır. Öte yandan Eski Türkçeden gelen, yazılışları ve anlamları aynı olan kelimeler yaşanılan coğrafyaya ve zamana göre farklı anlamlara sahip olmuştur.

Kıpçak Türkçesinin önemli dil yadigârlarından olan Codex Cumanicus ile günümüzde Kafkasya bölgesinde konuşulan Kumuk Türkçesinin ses ve anlam özellikleri bakımından karşılaştırmalı olarak daha önce hiç ele alınmamış olması bizi böyle bir konuda çalışma yapmaya yönlendirmiştir. Çalışmada Codex Cumanicus ile Kumuk Türkçesinin ses ve anlam bakımından farklılık göstermeyen sözcüklerinin karşılaştırması yapılacaktır. Çalışmada Kıpçak Dönemi eseri olan Codex Cumanicus ve Kumuk Türklerinin kelimelerini içeren Kumuk Türkçesi Sözlüğü ön planda olacak, ses ve anlam farklılaşması görülmeyen kelimeler araştırılacaktır.
