The functional properties of different rice starches depends upon their morphology characteristics together with amylose content, which have been found unique to each individual variety and shows considerable variations from one other. . Rice starch granules are of the same size as homogenized fat globules; therefore they provide a texture perception similar to fat. Rice starch contains tiny granules (<5 lm) with a narrow size distribution, which makes it ideally suited as a cosmetic dusting powder, a textile stiffening agent, and a fat mimetic in foods. Starch is an important source of carbohydrates in the human diet and serves as a major source of energy. Depending on the in vivo digestion of starch, it is classified into rapidly digestible starch, slowly digestible starch and resistant starch as per its rate of glucose release and its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.

Politics of Decency
Authors: MF Paul
Published: January 2024

The article bears an implicit appeal to judge political programs not by ideological labels but rather by the criteria I call ‘decency.’ I enjoin Martin Buber’s concept of dialogue to argue that a politics of decency seeks to promote human well-being that reaches beyond mere material flourishing but is attentive to the full sweep of the regnant existential, social and politics realities that diminish fundamental human dignity. Such a political ethic, as Buber would put it, transcends the barriers of regarding others as “It” – as perceived and conceived by the divisive categories of religious and cultural affiliation, age, sexual orientation, socalled race, and as inveterate political opponents.
What Can Economists Learn from Isabelle Stengers?
Authors: A Belabes
Published: January 2024

Isabelle Stengers’ thinking is sensitive, limpid, and complex. Her vision of living worlds is based on the philosophy of becoming and multiplicity. Becoming refers to a living change and therefore to an absence of permanence and natural laws to which we must adapt. Multiplicity refers to several regimes of truth, several types of reason, several modes of existence. Her knowledge universe is made up of several sets of beings and things where thought navigates fluidly between the fields of study. A torrent of freedom that opens up new avenues for overcoming confinement and expanding action. This exploration of the ecology of practices provides the opportunity to address economic life, beyond the confines of academic discipline, as an open field that should be constantly widened through investigation by establishing the conditions of existence.

Exploring Gender Multiplicity through the Lens of Post- Lacanian Psychoanalysis
Authors: A Koshy
Published: January 2024

Sexual difference must be recognized in thought and human interactions to enable people to find their real source of jouissance. The Lacanian finding of ‘masculine phallic desire’ and ‘feminine libidinal desire’ in all human beings, irrespective of their biological sex-gender, paved the way for rethinking gender identities. It calls for reforming inter-human relations from the presently predominant utilitarian mode to the one based on love and recognition of the other. Gender is an arbitrary construct to serve the interests of males in finding phallic sexual pleasure, power and recognition in their social life. Assertion of sexual difference and gender multiplicity will enable human beings to find the other human being as their actual desired object, beyond the pleasures offered by wealth, comforts and commodities.
Key Components of the Ontological Scheme of the World in “Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy”
Authors: V Krasikov
Published: January 2024

The author presents a version of the ontological scheme of Newton’s mechanistic worldview based on both the study of previous versions of its understanding and the text of the “Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy”. Newton developed a model of new universality or a homogeneous and isotropic world in which uniform laws operate. This model is based on several ontological postulates Newton introduced, which can be isolated from several provisions of his classic work. The new mechanistic worldview is based on the imputation of the world of universal simplicity. The quantitative “unit” of a simple, homogeneous, physical-geometric universe is an ambivalent corpuscle-point. The main constants of the “mechanistic universe” are the diversity of the numbers of masses, motions, and forces connected by clear reciprocal relationships. Newton also introduced theoretical space and time as a privileged, absolute reference system. Finally, in the Newtonian version of the mechanistic worldview, there are compelled metaphysical ingredients or inexplicable and transcendental qualities. They are gravity, ether, and God. Thus, the ontological scheme of Newton’s mechanistic worldview is a construction based on the sequential mental experiment of presenting the universe exclusively from the side of its “objectivity” and “sensory certification”.

Published: January 2024

The lack of Sharia financial literacy leads to a lack of understanding among the public regarding the potential investment opportunities available in the Sharia financial system, causing them to be reluctant to invest. Furthermore, limited Sharia financial inclusion also hinders the increase in investment interest. Limited access to Sharia financial products and services, such as Sharia banking accounts, sharia insurance or sukuk, makes it difficult for the public to engage in investments that align with Sharia principles. This research aims to measure the influence of Sharia financial literacy, Sharia financial inclusion, and social background on the investment interest of Sharia Economics students at IAIN Syekh Nurjati Cirebon. The research population consists of students from the Economics Study Program. A quantitative approach is used in this study. The research sample consists of 88 randomly selected respondents from the population. The results of the analysis show that Sharia financial literacy has a positive and significant influence on the investment interest of Sharia Economics students. Similarly, Sharia financial inclusion also has a positive and significant influence on investment interest. Additionally, both Sharia financial literacy and Sharia financial inclusion have a simultaneous positive and significant influence on investment interest. However, the social background variable does not moderate the relationship between Sharia financial literacy, Sharia financial inclusion, and investment interest.

This research is a qualitative research with a library study approach that seeks to explore and develop the concept of pentahelix that has not been applied to the management and development of Islamic-based social finance activities. The results of this discussion found a new concept related to the pentahelix concept in the management and development of Islamic social finance. What can be done is starting from the activeness of academics, business people, government, communities and the media. The five elements have an interrelated relationship and support each other in the concept of developing Islamic social finance. Academics play a role through education, service and research tasks that will prepare and equip knowledge to human resources who have managerial skills and mastery of the knowledge needed in the management of Islamic social institutions. The government also has a role in the development of Islamic social finance in the form of support by publishing the Sharia Economic Master Plan by the National Development Planning Agency (BAPENAS). These activities require community support, and the role of mass media is needed in order to provide information or education.

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membahas tentang permasalahan yang sedang marak terjadi mengenai adanya ancaman kerusakan ekosistem hutan yang lebih besar dari aktivitas illegal logging, pembalakan liar, dan deforestasi oleh Perusahaan Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit di tanah Papua khususnya di daerah Kampung Rhepang Muaif Distrik Nimbokrang Kabupaten Jayapura. Tujuan penelitian ini sendiri menganalisis bagaimana pengaruh dan upaya daripada pembangunan kelompok Ekowisata Bird Watching Isyo Hill’s dalam menghadapi adanya ancaman Perusahaan Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit di daerah tanah adat mereka. Metode penelitian yang digunakan oleh penulis adalah metode penelitian kualitatif yang secara komparatif diterapkan untuk menelaah fenomena pada penelitian ini. Hasil temuan dalam penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa PT.ABC sudah memiliki izin lokasi lahan perkebunan kelapa sawit seluas 32.000 Ha tanpa melakukan pertemuan secara internal bersama masyarakat adat sebagai pemilik hal ulayat tanah adat. Lalu PT. ABC juga tidak pernah memberikan keterangan laporan perkembangan terkait lokasi lahan Kelapa Sawit terhadap Pemerintah Kabupaten Jayapura. Akibatnya menimbulkan terjadinya konflik sengketa lahan antar suku tepatnya di kawasan Spot Korea sehingga upaya yang sudah dilakukan oleh masyarakat adat di Kampung Rhepang Muaif adalah membentuk dan membangun kelompok Ekowisata Bird Watching Isyo Hill’s untuk menjaga hutan adat serta mengurangi dan mencegah dampak kerusakan ekosistem hutan yang lebih besar di tanah Papua.

Students have more opportunities to commit academic fraud on online learning during the COVID-19 period. The purposes of this study are to examine the types of possible academic fraud during online learning, the motives of fraud using pentagon theory, and to provide some important recommendations for higher educationin fraud prevention. The data collection methods are questionnaires and interviews with students and lecturers at a private university in Indonesia. In addition, the data analysis is qualitative and descriptive statistical analyses. The results of this study indicate that academic fraud such as cheating, seeking help, plagiarism, and collusion occurs during online learning process. Pressure, opportunity, rationalization and arrogance are four important factors that cause academic fraud. The prevention of fraud can be through building awareness on integrity and ethical values, implementing rules and strong punishment system, building close relationship with students, improving the methods of learning and assessment, and improving internal controls.
Romeo and Juliet, from Page to Stage and Back: A Hands-On Perspective on Functionalism in Drama Translationi
Authors: Ignat Anca-Diana
Published: January 2024

A decade ago I translated Romeo and Juliet into Romanian for a student performance, which premiered on February 14, 2013 and has since participated in four international theatre festivals. Three years later, having joined the team of the Shakespeare for the New Millennium project – devoted to the retranslation of Shakespeare’s complete works – I embarked on what I thought would be merely a revision of my previous translation for the stage, but soon turned into a very different translatorial experience, which resulted in an entirely new Romanian version, mainly due to the twofold, yet more clearly defined purpose of the translation project. This new version, published in vol. 13 (2018) of the latest scholarly edition of Shakespeare’s complete works (2010-2019), has recently passed the performability test as well, in a compelling stage production which premiered, to great acclaim, on December 17, 2022 at the “Mihai Eminescu” National Theatre in Chișinău (Moldova). Thus, my article sets out to explore – self-reflectively, retrospectively and through the lens of Skopos theory – how in each case my approach to the task in hand, my decisions and my solutions to various translation problems were guided by what I knew or assumed about the aims, requirements and prospective audience of each translation. Thus, a translator’s practical experience is brought to bear on what has been both hailed and criticised as “a new paradigm” in translation studies, in an attempt to test its hypotheses against the actual practice (as well as the outcomes) of translating the same text for different purposes.
Explicitation and (In)directness in Literary Translations from Japanese into English and Romanian: A Contrastive Analysis
Authors: Ciubăncan Magdalena
Published: January 2024

A complex process that necessarily goes beyond the surface level of words and phrases, (literary) translation is also a means to understand the cultures whose products the translated texts are. In this article, I look at the English and the Romanian translations of two Japanese novels in an attempt to identify those elements that prove that the texts carry the load of the specific type of culture that both the translators and the readers belong to. More specifically, I analyse the way in which the discourse is reconstructed in English and Romanian in light of Edward T. Hall’s high-context culture vs. low-context culture distinction. This article does not focus on the translation of culture-specific realities, as is the case with most studies that compare textual products belonging to different cultures, but on the way in which ordinary realities are rendered in English and Romanian. I look at the degree to which the context created by the Japanese authors is explicitly specified and the level of directness of the discourse in the two languages, as representative features of the high-context vs. low context cultures dichotomy. The examples analysed here suggest that the English translations tend to employ more strategies for an explicit specification of the context and to create a more direct discourse than the Romanian ones, which is consistent with the fact that English is a language considered typical of low-context culture spaces. Romanian translations are generally closer to the Japanese original, showing a more high-context culture perspective, confirming the existence of a continuum between the two extreme ends in Hall’s dichotomy.
Representations of Non-Being in David Lynch’s Eraserhead, Edmund Elias Merhige’s Begotten, and Darren Aronofsky’s Pi: A Comparative Analysis from Indian Philosophy Perspectives
Authors: Paşcalău Cristian
Published: January 2024

Cinema, as an artistic medium, has often explored profound existential questions and deeply inquired themes such as the relationship between Being and Non-Being. This study centers on three enigmatic films: Eraserhead, Begotten, and Pi, known for their surreal and contemplative nature. I investigate how these films convey representations of Non-Being and examine their potential ties to Indian philosophical perspectives on existence. The discussion will encompass various elements such as narrative, cinematography, symbolism, and motifs which contribute to the exploration of Non-Being. I explore common threads and distinct approaches to the theme, providing a broader understanding of how filmmakers use their art to grapple with existential questions. The analysis deals with the notions of reality, illusion, emptiness, and the interconnectedness of all existence. Exploring how these films offer unique insights into ontological themes and the nature of existence through a comparative approach, I aim to elucidate the filmmakers’ creative depictions of Non-Being and their potential connections to Eastern philosophical thought, either aligning with or challenging Indian philosophical perspectives (such as Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, and Jainism) on the human experience and the nature of reality.
Towards a Historical Be(com)ing into Universal Benevolence: Anastasia and Geopolitical Reconfigurations in Late Modernity
Authors: Grajdian Maria
Published: January 2024

Focusing on two iterations of the Anastasia topos – the 1997 animated musical movie produced and released by Fox Animation Studios and Takarazuka Revue’s Japanese theatrical musical live performance from 2020 –, this article analyzes the significance and impact of historical events and their dialectic renegotiation by means of mass entertainment in crosscultural cross-media perspective. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and archive research, the current analysis attempts a realistic diagnosis of future international developments based on live theatrical representations as well as their crucial reformulations of reality resulted from the empathic exchange between performers and audiences. Moreover, Japan’s attempts at reconfiguring geopolitical relations crisscrossing increasingly nationalist discourses in the public sphere during the 2010s are projected on the – likewise increasingly – polarized global narratives juxtaposing individual freedoms, rights, aspirations with collective expectations, pressures, anxieties.
