Land utilization vs. elderly mental condition: elderly’s willingness to take part in demolishing programs
Authors: Zhu Weiqing
Published: January 2024

With the boost of population in the current world, demolishing is now a widely adopted method of improving land usage. This study focuses on older people’s willingness to participate in these programs. Taking a village in China as an example, a survey is done on the elderly community. The community mostly includes older families, which the females can hardly read, and few males are educated. The survey includes 15 questions, including 4 asking the respondents’ background. The data is analyzed using regression models and descriptive analysis. A factor analysis combines the nine variables are studied one by one. It has been discovered that most elderly hold a positive attitude toward demolishing programs, and there’s a positive relationship between the understanding level the elderly have of the program and their willingness to participate in the program. The general willingness to participate in these programs is unexpectedly high for the elderly in the area. It is rarely witnessed for an elderly to be strongly unwilling to move. As a result, government officials may teach the residents who show negative attitudes toward the demolishing programs to motivate them to participate in these programs, and people may not need to worry too much about the elderly’s mental health after demolition.

A Bánság német ajkú népessége a 19. és 20. század fordulóján
Authors: Eperjesi Zoltán
Published: January 2024

Jelen tanulmányomban az első világháborút követően három részre szakított multietnikus és multikulturális Bánság régió 19. századi fejlődéstörténetét, lakosság-összetételét vizsgálom.  Az összesen 28 464 km2 területen fekvő földrajzi és történelmi Bánság régió természetes földrajzi határai délen a Duna, nyugaton a Tisza, északon a Maros,  keleten pedig a Ruszka-havasok, valamint a Temes és a Cserna folyók völgye. A 18. század első felében sikerült kiszorítani az oszmán hódítókat az addigra a sok évtizedes folyamatos harcok miatt jóformán teljesen elnéptelenedett délvidéki területekről. A Habsburgok és az Oszmán Birodalom által megkötött 1718. évi pozsareváci béke eredményeképpen a történelmi Magyar Királyság területén megszűnt a török uralom. Ezt követően a Habsburgok magukhoz ragadták az irányítást a Bánság területén, és megkezdték a főként német ajkú telepesek betelepítését az alföldi mezőgazdasági területekre, valamint az ásványkincsekben gazdag dél-bánsági hegyvidéki régióba. Az újonnan érkezett német telepesek a rendkívül nehéz kezdeti körülményeket, járványokat és erőfeszítéseket, – mint például mocsárlecsapolásokat, folyószabályozásokat, és mesterséges ipari csatornák létrehozását, – követően gazdaságilag virágzó mezőgazdasági és ipari régióvá alakították a térséget. A tanulmányban rámutatok, hogy a 19. évszázad során a folyamatosan betelepülő egymás mellett élő négy nagy, – német, magyar, román, szerb, – valamint több kisebb népcsoport, – mint a csehek, szlovákok, bolgárok, horvátok, – milyen kimagasló gazdasági vívmányokat értek el. Gondoljunk csak az ércbányák feltárására, a korszerű vas- és acélipari termelés meghonosítására, a korszerű mezőgazdasági és ipari termelés megteremtésére. Az első világháborút lezáró békeszerződés három részre osztotta fel a Bánságot: a nagyobbik, keleti rész Romániához, a kisebbik, nyugati rész a Szerb Királysághoz került, míg csupán a legkisebb rész, Marosszög maradt Magyarországon. Az egykor multietnikus és multikulturális régió életét visszafordíthatatlannak tűnő módon változtatták meg a második világháború viszontagságos sorsfordító eseményei, a németek szerb partizánok általi kifosztása és elűzése a Szerbiához tartozó Bánságból, valamint a romániai németek Szovjetunióba történő deportálása kényszermunkára. A nemzetiségek tömeges és tendenciózus kivándorlása miatt ma már csak erőteljesen halványuló multietnicitásról beszélhetünk.
Gazdasági növekedés versus jólét és fenntarthatóság
Authors: Juhász Gábor
Published: January 2024

Publikációm célja, hogy a szegénység és a gazdasági növekedés, valamint a fenntartható gazdasági fejlődés és jólét fogalmi kategóriái közti összefüggések elemzésével nyilvánvalóvá tegyem, hogy a liberalizációnak és a deregulációnak, illetve a nemzetközi kereskedelem bővülését kihasználó globális szereplőknek prioritást biztosító gazdaságpolitika nem a fenntarthatóság és jólét irányába történő elmozdulást eredményezi, illetve az elvárásokhoz képest ebben a tekintetben jóval kisebb haszonnal és lehetőségekkel jár. A globális cégek, mint a globalizációs folyamat főszereplői, elsősorban a globális gazdasági folyamatok által létrehozott hasznok lefölözésére, kevésbé a kapcsolódó költségek vállalására törekednek, áthárítva a terheket és a felelősségvállalást általánosan egyfelől a fogyasztókra, másfelől pedig a gyengébb gazdasági pozícióban lévő fejlődő országokra és népességükre. Az általuk előállításra kerülő javak termelése során alkalmazott technológiák környezeti terheit, az ezekből következő negatív hatásokat ugyancsak az említettekre hárítják, illetve számos esetben veszélyt jelenthetnek a nemzetgazdasági érdekeket képviselő mikro-, kis és középvállalkozásokra, valamint a közszolgáltatások fenntartására egyaránt. Mindezek révén a globális cégek hozzájárulnak a hátrányos helyzetű társadalmi csoportok érdekérvényesítési lehetőségeinek további szűküléséhez, szegregációjuk és hátrányos helyzetük generációkon keresztül történő konzerválásához, valamint a szegénység elmélyüléséhez.
Understanding Student’s Malleable Reality: The Influence of Cognitive Dissonance on L2 Postgraduate Students’ Dissertation Writing
Authors: Wan Osman Wan Safuraa , Senom Fatiha , Ahmad Shah Shanina Sharatol
Published: January 2024

Dissertation writing is a common problem among second language (L2) postgraduate students, and they tend to perceive the experience as gruelling. Apart from experiencing second language writing anxiety (SLWA), they are also susceptible to experiencing psychological discomfort or cognitive dissonance (CD) resulting from conflicting thoughts and feelings when facing the ill effects of their actions and thoughts. Under those circumstances, students may be motivated to resolve their mental conflicts as Festinger’s (1957) theory of CD proposed an interplay between cognition, emotion, and motivation. However, more evidence is needed to determine whether L2 students’ experience of CD in dissertation writing had caused them to misattribute the cause of their poor writing performance. To have a clearer insight into this phenomenon, this study aimed to explore the extent of the possible influences of CD on apprehensive postgraduate students’ dissertation writing performance. The investigation, which was a qualitative multiple-case study, involved four (4) local postgraduate students and data were collected via in-depth interviews, audio journals and personal document analysis. The thematic analysis revealed the following themes: i) SLWA triggers CD; ii) CD changes students’ existing beliefs; iii) students’ new beliefs cause misattribution of slow writing progress; and iv) poor writing performance. Thus, the study posits that CD influences dissertation writing as students’ altered beliefs prevent them from reflecting meaningfully on their writing performance. To overcome CD’s effects on dissertation writing, it is recommended that supervisors and language teachers provide constructive feedback, discourage the perception of writing inability, encourage reexamination of writing issues and avoid provoking students’ writing performance using anxiety.

Published: January 2024

The fight against COVID-19 is far from reaching an end. It implies Malaysian COVID-19 frontliners, unfortunately, lose their purpose to strive for a better future. Under that hypothetical situation, this study aims to scrutinize the positivity during the global pandemic with the sensibility of meaning in life among COVID-19 frontliners. The method of qualitative data collection was employed in this study. The purposive and snowball sampling techniques were in an alliance in recruiting 18 frontliners from Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using a series of open-ended questions that were based on the topics the researchers aimed to cover. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data that was gathered. Findings show that Malaysian COVID-19 frontliners’ drive to overcome adversity using their meaning in life. It gave them a sense of life satisfaction with a human connection emphasizing the need to support one another. Most frontliners in Malaysia also have a charitable nature to uphold social welfare since their dedication aids their personal development. Like all humans, frontliners occasionally experience overwhelming situations, which forces them to turn to spiritualism since their religious literacy and personal devotion give them life purpose. This study can be further enhanced by incorporating possible psychological interventions, such as psychoeducation, that can strengthen the positivity of healthcare workers. By providing self-help techniques to cultivate positivity and motivation, the meaning of life for individual healthcare workers can be increased. This would be a valuable addition to the current focus on establishing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to safeguard frontliners and flatten the curve of virus spread. While awareness among Malaysian citizens through the MySejahtera application is crucial, strengthening the positivity and resilience of healthcare workers is equally important. By implementing such interventions, healthcare workers can feel supported and empowered, ultimately improving their well-being and ability to provide quality care.

Published: January 2024

The Malaysian creative industry is the perfect epitome of the representation of a multiracial country that is overflowing with wonderful and rich artistic works. Amidst the copious and palatial creative produce in Malaysia, the industry creative players are not able to generate sustainable income and wealth from their artistic produce due to a lack of knowledge and understanding of intellectual property protection. Empirical data has shown from previous studies indicates the creative industry players are not well-versed in the area of copyright literacy. Due to this, the contents created by the industry players were exploited by capitalist that has greater access to law and policymakers. From this access, the capitalist has more chances of generating incoming compared to creative industry players that are mostly freelancers. Therefore, the wealth that was generated from the creative industry has not benefitted all parties that are involved. The aim of this paper is to explore what are the distinctive elements of copyright protection literacy among creative industry practitioners. The study utilises a qualitative approach, specifically focus group discussion to obtain the data. The results were thematically analysed using ATLAS.ti website version software. The participants for the focus group interview were those invited to a webinar to discuss intellectual property literacy within the Malaysian creative industry. The findings of this paper suggest that the practitioners in the Malaysian creative industry’s intellectual property literacy differ in their position and career that they are in. The implication of the findings from this study is that the understanding and perspective of copyright protection literacy depends on the career and educational background of the industry practitioner involved.

Authors: Ibrahim Nazmeela , Pang Jee Ching
Published: January 2024

Inclusive education is a fundamental worldwide reform envisioned to include children with diverse abilities in the classroom. Maldives is in its emerging phase of inclusive preschool education. Lack of teachers’ competency, training and support system was reported as common challenges faced in inclusive education. This study explored the experiences of five regular teachers in five different inclusive preschool settings in Male’. Qualitative research design using semi-structured interviews was employed to explore the teachers’ teaching experiences along with series of issues associated in their journey of inclusive classrooms. Findings revealed teachers’ belief in inclusion as the positive teaching experiences of being grateful and hopeful amidst challenges faced. Teachers’ negative experiences are reported as feeling lost and disappointed with the lack of support over mixed disabilities of children in large classrooms. These findings revealed underpinning the policies and support required from stakeholders at all levels which have influenced the sustainability of inclusive preschool education. To overcome these challenges, teachers used team teaching, adjusted lessons to build peer support among the children and seek professional support within and beyond school. Teachers’ voices on inclusive classrooms in preschools have contributed recommendations for the school level and policymakers in modeling up the sustainable inclusive preschool education. It is recommended that funding to be allocated for in-service teachers’ training besides developing resources to provide better learning opportunities for children with disabilities. All stakeholders, teachers, parents and government should collaborate to foster positive attitudes and acceptance for all children to keep striving for a sustainable inclusive preschool education.

Published: January 2024

Pilot studies are crucial for any research. While publishing the results of pilot studies in quantitative research is common, it is less common in qualitative research. This pilot study precedes the main research on the differences in perception between men and women deans on how they perceive the key success factors for women to be leaders in academia. In this pilot study, male and female deans were used as participants, consistent with the main research. Besides that, the aim was to contribute towards increased methodological knowledge as well as awareness of conducting pilot studies in qualitative research. Furthermore, in qualitative research, pilot studies are important to show the trustworthiness of the qualitative research. In determining trustworthiness, researcher triangulation is an important aspect of qualitative research to assess concerns on rigour such as reliability and credibility. The data was collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews via Google Meet, with one male and one female dean, as the main research focused on exploring perceptions towards the leadership journey of female leaders in academia. This study contributed to increasing the trustworthiness of the main study. The pilot study aided in advancing the main research and helped researchers update their coding and interview probing skills. There were some modifications made to the research instrument as the researchers found that the number of questions needed to be reduced in order to get in-depth responses from the participants within the stipulated time. Moreover, some modifications were made to the language of the interview to enhance clarity. The documentation of the experiences of the qualitative research methodology not only helped researchers of this study but also can be used as a guide for researchers who intend to pursue the qualitative studies.

Published: January 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant global public health problem. Despite the growing burden of CKD and its accompanying co-morbidities, the difficulties faced by the CKD population in Malaysia, particularly those who are in the early stages of the disease, have not yet been identified. Hence, a qualitative study was undertaken to identify the challenges faced by CKD patients in following nutrition recommendations. Eight patients diagnosed with early stages of CKD (stages 2 and 3) were recruited to undergo in-depth semi-structured interview sessions consisting of open-ended questions were conducted. Responses given in Malay were recorded verbatim and were translated into English. The data was analysed thematically with NVivo version 12 software. Five themes emerged from the interviews: 1) CKD health literacy, 2) changes in lifestyle and eating behaviours, 3) challenges in following CKD recommendations, 4) nutrition education perceptions and preferences, and 5) quality of life. The major challenges encountered by CKD patients in following nutrition recommendations were a lack of knowledge of CKD, insufficient communication between patient and healthcare professional (dietitian), inadequate healthy food choices, and a lack of time to prepare healthy food. The majority of the patients had never heard of nutrition education, yet they all agreed that nutrition and health education were essential for CKD patients. In addition, positive support from family and friends was considered a key component in improving their personal needs and quality of life. From the findings, it is concluded that effective nutrition education should be developed and explained clearly to the patients in order to improve patients’ self-management and empower them to make appropriate food choices. This study can be useful for healthcare professionals and policymakers intending to implement nutrition education-related interventions in order to improve CKD patients’ knowledge and their quality of life.

Published: January 2024

This study examines professional resilience among university academics during the COVID-19 pandemic by utilising Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) of interviews conducted with a diverse group of university academics in EduCity Iskandar, Malaysia. In the academic landscape, resilience holds immense importance, particularly during disruptive events like the global pandemic. While previous research has broadly explored resilience, this study focuses specifically on the under-researched profession-related dimension of higher education. The methodology employed semi-structured interviews guided by IPA principles, involving ten university academics, to gain a comprehensive understanding of their experiences. Data collection and analysis were conducted iteratively, revealing three central themes in their narratives. The results highlight the essential aspects of professional resilience among university academics in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. First, participants exhibited an unwavering commitment to their work and students, driven by a profound sense of responsibility. Second, they displayed adept problem-solving skills and sought innovative solutions to navigate challenges. Third, creativity played a pivotal role as university academics harnessed technology to enhance teaching methods and engage students effectively. These findings propose that higher education institutions should prioritise supporting their academic staff through professional development programs that emphasise commitment towards students, problem-solving and technology integration. Encouraging mentorship and promoting collaboration can further enhance the resilience of the academic community. Future research could explore the impact of interventions based on the identified themes and delve into students' experiences during the pandemic, offering a holistic perspective on resilience in higher education. In conclusion, this research underscores the enduring relevance of resilience in higher education, extending its significance beyond exceptional circumstances to the routine challenges faced by university academics during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thriving on Mars: Potatoes as the Answer to Martian Challenges
Authors: P Hiba , Haneef Saba
Published: January 2024

Humans have committed themselves to the exploration of space and the quest for a habitable planet. Central to the development of a sustainable ecosystem that can provide essential resources like food and water is the implementation of space plant cultivation systems. In the pursuit of bio-regenerative life support systems for human space exploration, the inclusion of plants is imperative. This study focuses on assessing potential challenges associated with cultivating Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) under simulated Martian conditions. Potatoes exhibit adaptability to extremely cold and dry environments, making them a promising candidate for extraterrestrial agriculture. The advantages of potatoes include their high yield, rich content of easily digestible carbohydrates, elevated protein levels, and simplicity of propagation. When induced to tuberize, potatoes can achieve a harvest index exceeding 80%, approximately double that of traditional grain crops. Notably, unlike certain crops such as soybeans and certain grains, potatoes do not necessitate elaborate processing procedures before consumption. The Potato, specifically varieties like Norland, Denali, and Russet Burbank, has garnered attention in research funded by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Tests have revealed that these cultivars can successfully undergo tuberization even under constant bright light conditions, emphasizing their potential suitability for life support functions in space exploration contexts
Optimizing Spacecraft Lifespan: Balancing Mass and Propellant Fraction
Authors: Biswal M Malaya Kumar
Published: January 2024

Over the decades, scholars and data scientists have extensively explored the correlation between satellite mass and its impact on satellite reliability—an essential consideration for satellite manufacturers and space agencies. Initially, a conceptual notion, a group of statisticians has now rigorously defined the reliability parameter of spacecraft across different mass categories, utilizing a survival analysis algorithm pioneered by Kaplan & Meier in 1958. J.H Saleh's analysis reveals that spacecraft in the medium-range category (with mass ranging from approximately 500-1000 kilograms) exhibits maximum reliability and a longer lifespan. This statistical model has provided a foundation for the next generation of data scientists to redefine satellite reliability models. Examining mass parameters such as spacecraft dry mass, propellant mass, and payload mass, the role of propellant mass emerges as crucial in determining spacecraft survival in various planetary orbits. Propellant facilitates trajectory raising maneuvers, course corrections, and orbital stabilization (e.g., ESA’s Cassini's final plunge due to propellant exhaustion). Therefore, integrating a larger propellant tank into a relatively small spacecraft may not extend its lifespan; in fact, it could lead to spacecraft destabilization. Maintaining an optimal propellant and spacecraft mass ratio becomes paramount for effective operations. Addressing this, an innovative mathematical and statistical model has been introduced and validated, defining a propellant mass fraction limit of 0.2 to 0.6 as optimal for longer survivability. In conclusion, the various masses of a spacecraft significantly impact its lifespan and reliability. Satellite manufacturers must carefully consider mass and mass fraction parameters during the design and validation phases to ensure the spacecraft's optimal performance before deploying it into any interplanetary orbit. This consideration remains a critical task, especially as recovering a spacecraft beyond low-earth orbit poses significant challenges

Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan membawa manusia kepada modernisasi di berbagai aspek dalam kehidupan. Dampak paling nyata dari adanya modernisasi tersebut adalah perubahan dan munculnya persoalan-persoalan baru khususnya dalam kaitannya dengan hukum Islam. Tidak jarang persoalan yang ditemukan membutuhkan kejelasan hukumnya dalam perspektif Islam. Dalam menyikapi persoalan yang ditemukan dewasa ini, fikih kontemporer menjadi sebuah Ilmu yang seharusnya didalami. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk memaparkan secara implisit terkait fikih kontemporer baik pengertian, objek atau ruang lingkup kajiannya, perbedaan fikih kontemporer dengan fikih dan urgensi mempelajari fikih kontemporer bagi setiap muslim. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kepustakaan atau library research dengan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif jenis deskriptif sehingga dapat menjelaskan kajian penelitian dengan jelas dan terperinci. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah fikih kontemporer merupakan sebuah permasalahan hukum Islam yang ditemukan pada zaman kontemporer atau sekarang ini dan belum ditemukan pada masa Rasulullah atau sahabat kemudian harus ditemukan status hukumnya melalui proses ijtihad para mujtahid dengan merujuk pada sumber primer hukum Islam yaitu Al-Quran, hadis, ijma’ dan qiyas. Objek dan ruang lingkup kajian fikih kontemporer mencakup seluruh aspek dalam kehidupan manusia seperti teknologi, kekeluargaan, peribadatan, ekonomi, sosial, politik dan kemasyarakatan. Perbedaan mendasar antara fikih klasik dan fikih kontemporer terletak pada proses berlakunya fikih tersebut, fikih klasik adalah suatu permasalahan hukum yang ditemukan zaman nabi ketika masih hidup, fikih kontemporer adalah permasalahan hukum baru yang ditemukan sesudah nabi dan sahabat wafat. Tujuan mempelajari fikih kontemporer adalah meningkatkan daya kritis umat Islam dalam menyikapi suatu hukum permasalahan dan mengambil ketentuan hukum dari ijtihad fuqaha.
Poligami Dalam Hukum Islam (Kajian Istinbath Lughawiyah Terhadap Hadis Miswar Bin Makhramah)
Authors: Andrean Maulana
Published: January 2024

Poligami merupakan salah satu syariat yang Allah bolehkan dalam Al-Quran. Namun dalam hadis riwayat Miswar bin Makhramah menceritakan bahwa  Ali bin Abi Thalib ketika telah menikahi Fathimah berencana untuk memadukan Fathimah dengan Juwairiyah binti Abi Jahal, Rasulullah tidak mengizinkannya dan melarangnya. Sedangkan kalau diperhatikan hukum poligami adalah boleh. Disini timbul pertentangan antara hukum poligami dengan zahir teks hadis. Hal ini membuat penulis tertarik untuk menemukan jawaban bagaimana hukum poligami dalam hadis Miswar bin Makhramah sehingga tidak bertentangan dengan kebolehan poligami, penulis juga menganalisa hadis tersebut melalui metode lughawiyah untuk menemukan alasan Nabi Muhammad menolak poligami dari Ali bin abi Thalib. penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, sedangkan teknik pengumpulan data bersifat kepustakaan (library research) yaitu penelitian yang menggunakan buku-buku sebagai sumbernya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hukum poligami dalam Islam adalah boleh, namun juga bisa menjadi sunah, makruh, dan haram. Sedangkan rencana Ali bin Abi Thalib berpoligami adalah mubah. Rasulullah melarangnya berpoligami karena khawatir terhadap kondisi Fatimah, sesuatu bentuk keagungan dari Fatimah, dan bentuk keistimewaan dari Nabi Muhammad terhadap Fathimah, oleh karena itu Rasulullah dalam hadis tersebut bukan dalam konteks menyampaikan hukum, melainkan sebagai keluarga besar dari Ali bin Abi Thalib dan Fatimah  dan dilihat dari segi kajian Istinbath lughawiyah (metode pendekatan kebahasaan) terdapat 2 teks sharih yang menjadi illat manshusah terhadap larangan poligami yaitu فإنما ابنتي بضعة مني، يريبني ما رابها ويؤذيني ما آذاها artinya Fatimah adalah bagian dariku, meragukanku apa yang meragukannya dan menyakitiku apa yang menyakitinya  dan  وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أن يفتنوها artinya aku tidak menyukai timbul fitnah terhadap Fatimah.

Dalam masyarakat tidak jarang terjadi kegagalan suatu keluarga dalam membina rumah tangga. Terkadang perceraian dipandang menjadi jalan  yang terbaik bagi kedua belah pihak setelah upaya perdamaian gagal diupayakan. Kewajiban hakim untuk mendamaikan pihak-pihak yang berperkara, sangat menganjurkan untuk menyelesaikan setiap perselisihan dan persengketaan melalui pendekatan. Akan tetapi suami istri tidak segera menyelesaikan atau oleh karena suami istri tidak menemukan cara pemecahan yang rasional maka hakim dalam Pengadilan Agama dapat mengangkat Hakam (juru damai). Timbullah tanda tanya bagaimana konsep hakam dalam perpektif mazhab Syafi’i. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan diskriptif analisis yaitu menggambarkan konsep dalam kajian fikih tentang otoritas hakam dalam menyelasikan perkara syiqaq di dalam mazhab Syafi’i. Teknik analisis data dilakukan dengan pendekatan content analisis. Adapun kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini adalah terjadi khilaf pandangan ulama mazhab Syafi’i mengenai konsep hakam, ada ulama yang berpendapat bahwa hakam pada posisi wakil dan ada ulama yang berpendapat bahwa hakam pada posisi hakim. Ulama Syafi’iyyah seperti Imam Al-Mawaridi telah menjelaskan bahwa hakam memiliki wawenang adalah memberikan solusi terbaik, kalau memang bisa untuk ishlah maka wajib melakukan. Kalau tidak mungkin maka boleh berpaling kepada cerai atau khulu’. Hakam tidak berhak untuk menceraikan suami istri. Namun kalau berdasarkan pendapat mereka adalah hakim, maka hakam memiliki hak untuk menceraikan keduanya. Hakam boleh untuk mewakili bagi suami istri atau salah satunya yang jauh. Hakam tidak boleh untuk mengambil hak suami istri untuk diserahkan kepada pihak yang lain tanpa izin mereka. Hakam tidak boleh untuk melakukan fasakh terhadap suami istri.

Penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya mempertimbangkan qā’idah dar’u al-mafāsid muqaddam ‘alā jalb al-mashālih dalam menilai hukum vaksinasi. Di satu sisi, vaksinasi dianggap sebagai langkah mencegah mafsadah berupa penyebaran penyakit yang dapat menciptakan pandemi. Namun, di sisi lain, masyarakat sering kali menghadapi keraguan terkait kehalalan vaksin dan ketakutan akan timbulnya penyakit baru setelah vaksinasi. Dalam merumuskan masalah, penelitian ini memfokuskan pada kriteria mashlahah (kebaikan) dan mafsadah (kerugian) dalam pandangan syariat, konsep penerapan qā’idah dar’u al-mafāsid muqaddam ‘alā jalb al-mashālih dalam fiqh, serta implementasi qā’idah tersebut pada hukum vaksinasi. Pendekatan analisis normatif digunakan dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui kajian dokumentasi terhadap literatur hukum vaksinasi dari karya-karya fuqaha’ salaf al-shalih. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa qā’idah dar’u al-mafāsid muqaddam ‘alā jalb al-mashālih dapat dapat diterapkan dalam meninjau antara menolak mafsadah bahayanya virus covid-19 yang lebih diutamakan dari pada mengambil mashlahah menjaga dari obat vaksin yang mengandung unsur babi, karena sisi mafsadah bahayanya virus covid-19, disamping berpengaruh pada pribadi seseorang, juga berdampak penularan yang serius bagi masyarakat secara umum, maka kepentingan umum dan pribadi tentu harus lebih didahulukan dari pada kepentingan pribadi saja.  Namun keputusan mengutamakan mafsadah bahaya virus covid-19 dengan penggunaan obat vaksin yang mengandung unsur najis tersebut harus disertai beberapa syarat, yaitu adanya keterpaksaan atau tekanan dari pemerintah, adanya dharūrah syar'iyyah (terdesak dengan keadaan) berdasarkan keterangan dari ahli yang kompeten dan dipercaya tentang bahaya covid-19, seperti tervonis zona merah dan lain-lain dan tidak ditemukan vaksin yang halal dan suci.
“You are either with us, or against us”: The association between dichotomous thinking and political extremism among Israeli voters
Authors: Alfasi Yitshak

Purpose of the study: people prone to political extremism often exhibit a rather simplistic black-and-white view of social reality. This is a consequence of the psychological tendency to perceive and interpret the world in a certain way. The hypothesis underlying this study is that this tendency manifests in a style of thinking defined as “dichotomous thinking”. That is, a tendency to perceive and interpret the world in terms of binary options (i.e., “black or white”, “good or bad”, or “all or nothing”). The study was conducted in Israel during the 2019 election campaign, which initiated a prolonged political crisis leading to deep polarisation between the two main political camps in Israel. Participants (N = 312) completed an online survey, which included a demographic questionnaire and measures of political identification and dichotomous thinking style. The study found both linear and quadratic associations between dichotomous thinking and political identification. Thus, dichotomous thinking was associated with both right-wing political orientation and an overall propensity for political extremism, both right-wing and left-wing. These results provide empirical support for theoretical models suggesting that there is a U-shaped relationship between cognitive rigidity and political identification, but this relationship is stronger at the right end of the political spectrum
Les droits des conjoints de fait au Canada
Authors: Breton Laurence , Hilbrecht Margo
Published: January 2024

Ce rapport propose un examen approfondi du paysage juridique en ce qui concerne les unions de fait au Canada. La reconnaissance et les droits accordés aux personnes vivant en union libre sont principalement du ressort des juridictions provinciales ou territoriales. Ces droits forment une toile juridique complexe couvrant un vaste éventail de situations, notamment en ce qui a trait à la prise de décisions en matière de soins de santé, au partage des biens en cas de séparation, aux demandes de pension alimentaire pour conjoint, au droit à la succession et à certaines modalités particulières touchant les couples vivant dans les réserves. En s’intéressant d’un peu plus près aux processus provinciaux et territoriaux qui régissent la prise de décisions en matière de soins de santé, on constate que les conjoints de fait ne sont pas systématiquement reconnus au même titre que les couples mariés dans certaines juridictions. De même, plusieurs juridictions ne prévoient aucun droit au partage des biens à la suite d’une séparation des conjoints de fait, si bien que ces derniers n’ont pas droit au même traitement que les couples mariés. On notera avec intérêt que l’accès à une pension alimentaire pour conjoint à la suite d’une séparation (ainsi que les lignes directrices sur lesquelles se fondent les tribunaux pour l’accorder) est similaire dans la plupart des juridictions, à l’exception du Québec. Par ailleurs, les droits de succession ab intestat (sans testament) sont très variables d’une région à l’autre, et certaines excluent les conjoints de fait du droit systématique à la succession. Il existe toutefois une exception importante pour les couples assujettis à la Loi sur les foyers familiaux situés dans les réserves et les droits ou intérêts matrimoniaux(LFFRDIM), ce qui met en évidence les interactions entre les lois fédérales et régionales. Le présent rapport met en relief les différences qui existent relativement aux droits des conjoints de fait au Canada, et propose en guise de conclusion certains éléments importants du dialogue actuel sur la protection des droits des conjoints de fait.
