Doa daLam Tradisi Islam Jawa
Authors: Rosyidi Abdul Wahab
Published: November 2015

Doa etymologically means request something to God in certain ways. while some ulama define doa is a self statement presence to Allah the Almighty about our weakness, shortages, inabilities, and disgraces, then we ask Allah the Almighty in order the weaknesses, shortages, inabilities, and humiliations are removed and replaced with the strengths, capabilities and a high degree both in human sight and in Allah sight. In the theory needs said, that basically human beings need to feel safe (safety need), and the safety need leads to the two forms, namely: safety needs of life and safety needs of the property. Safety needs emerged as the most important requirement if psychology needs have been fullfilled. this behavior as reflected in the lives of Javanese who always do doa  in the form of slametan ceremony. Slametan aims to achieve slamet (safety), namely a condition in which the events will move smoothly to follow a predetermined path and will not happen misfortunes to just anyone.

 

Doa Secara etimologi artinya memohon sesuatu kepada Allah SWT dengan cara- cara tertentu. Sedangkan beberapa ulama mendefinisikan doa berarti pernyataan diri ke hadirat Allah SWT tentang kelemahan, kekurangan, ketidakmampuan serta kehinaan kita, kemudian kita memohon sesuatu kepada Allah SWT agar kelemahan, kekurangan, ketidakmampuan serta kehinaan ini diangkat dan digantikan dengan kelebihan, kemampuan serta derajat yang tinggi baik di sisi manusia maupun di sisi-Nya. Dalam teori kebutuhan dikatakan; bahwa pada dasarnya manusia membutuhkan rasa aman (safety need), dan rasa aman itu mengarah pada dua bentuk yakni kebutuhan keamanan jiwa dan keamanan harta. Kebutuhan rasa aman muncul sebagai kebutuhan yang paling penting kalau kebutuhan psikologis telah terpenuhi. Hal tersebut sebagaimana tercermin dalam perilaku hidup orang Jawa yang selalu melakukan Doa dalam bentuk upacara slametan. Slametan bertujuan untuk mencapai keadaan slamet, yaitu suatu keadaan dimana peristiwa-peristiwa akan bergerak mengikuti jalan yang telah ditetapkan dengan lancar dan tak akan terjadi kemalangan-kemalangan kepada sembarang orang.

Western scholars who separate between science and religion have brought
people in the final point of civilization. Therefore, the duty of Moslem scholar in the 21th century is to rebuild the spiritual intellectual integrity in the frame of science and civilization. The main responsibility of Moslem scholars, nowadays, in reaching the brightness of life is reconstructing science paradigm by relocating God as the main stream of thought. The bright time of Madinah civilization is the starting point of the glory of Islamic civilization which successfully has entered all over the world. Therefore, intellectual orientation which has become Moslem’s responsibility is to reform the principles of Madinah civilization to be reconstructed to the present time. This is very important issue as Madinah civilization has not established yet that will be possible for Moslem scholars can speak much about the 21th century civilization.  At the beginning of Islam period, the fight proposed by Moslem scholars was deconstructed the Jahiliyah’s way of thinking, furthermore, the great jihad of Moslem scholars in the present time is reconstructing the scientific way of thinking which is currently empirical-minded. Moreover, the Moslem scholar’s responsibility is to present spiritualism in scientific discourse. The integration of science and religion has become conceptualization of his science, hence, al Quran will be always the eternal source of science.
HEGEMONI ELIT DALAM RITUS AGAMA LOKAL: Studi Keberagamaan Masyarakat Bugis Bone Sulawesi Selatan
Authors: Rais Muhammad
Published: November 2015

Local religious beliefs termed as animism and dynamism by Giddens are still found in the religious practices of Indonesian communities. One of such practices occured in Bugis Ujung-Bone society, South Sulawesi. People’s faith in supernatural beings which are mythically believed as giving something meaningful for them is reflected by performing certain rituals in their daily lives. This ritual is performed at home and in a special place called Addewatang. This local belief system was firstly conceived and conceptualized by Sanro Maggangka. It grew into a local ritual tradition in Ujung-Bone society. This local ritual tradition were then acculturated with some formal religion’s activities. In the meantime, the figure of sanro becomes very important as a mediator in every religious ritual practiced by the society. Finally, hegemonic domination by the sanro can be observed in every thoughts and actions of the society, especially in their religious practices. In this research, the phenomenon were analyzed with the phenomenological-constructionist analysis. There are two findings of this research. First, there is a public perception that the practice of religious ritual done so far is believed as a part of their formal religion’s belief system. Second, there is a strong hegemony and dominance of the sanro’s role in conceptualizing this local ritual practice into their formal religion’s activities. The impact of this mythical belief of the role of sanro and “Putta Sereng” can be seen in the faithfulness of the people to act based on sanro’s instructions, the decrease of the people’s faith in their own formal religion, and the occurrence of theological confusions in the younger generations of Ujung-Bone society.

Javanese and Islamic acculturations adhere to the people living at Dukuh Krajan. Javanese social and cultural aspects affect the spirit of Islamic activities. This is obvious by the use of Javanese/Islamic calendar system in every ritual. Yet, the high value of togetherness and communality is decreasing. This change will result in abandoning culture and growing social problem. It also influences the change of common space in the neighborhood. Therefore, it needs exploration on communal space established through Nyadran ritual.

The study employs qualitative design with rationalistic approach. The data were collected through observation and interview. The communal space is formed by the activity, the physical area, the doers and the ritual time. The use of communal space in Nyadran ritual reflects togetherness and mutual cooperation value established as the result of the sense of care and the social awareness to share spaces for public interest.Akulturasi budaya Islam dan Jawa masih melekat pada kehidupan masyarakat Dukuh Krajan. Kegiatan Islam suasananya dipengaruhi oleh aspek budaya dan sosial Jawa. Tergambar jelas pada pemakaian kalender Jawa/Islam pada setiap kegiatan budaya. Namun, nilai-nilai kebersamaan dan kegotongroyangan dalam kegiatan sosial budaya saat ini semakin berkurang. Perubahan ini akan berpengaruh terhadap beberapa budaya setempat yang tersisihkan, dan masalah-masalah sosial yang mulai berkembang. Dampaknya akan berpengaruh juga terhadap perubahan ruang-ruang komunal di lingkungan pedesaan. Untuk itu perlu diteliti lebih detail tentang ruang komunal yang terbentuk, khususnya pada runtutan kegiatan budaya nyadran. Tujuannya agar ruang komunal yang terbentuk pada tradisi nyadran eksistensinya tetap ada dan terjaga dengan baik serta dapat bermanfaat dalam menumbuhkan dan mengembangkan rasa kebersamaan dan kegotongroyongan pada generasi berikutnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan rasionalistik dengan data dari observasi lapangan dan wawancara. Pembentukan ruang komunal dipengaruhi aktivitas itu sendiri, fisik ruang, pelaku dan waktu kegiatan itu berlangsung. Penggunaan ruang komunal pada kegiatan budaya nyadran mempunyai makna kebersamaan dan keguyuban, yang terbentuk dari kepedulian yang tinggi terhadap lingkungan, serta kesadaran masyarakat dalam memberikan sebagian ruang miliknya yang bermanfaat untuk kepentingan umum.
IJITIHAD SULTAN MUHAMMAD IDRUS KAIMUDDIN IBNU BADARUDDIN AL BUTHUNI (1824-1851): Akulturasi Islam dengan Budaya di Kesultanan Buton
Authors: Melamba Basrin , Siti Hafsah Wa Ode
Published: November 2015

The coming of Islam in the Buton Sultanate has brought a change in the social, political, even in the intellectual aspects. It produced scholars with the thought or ijitihad as a blend of Islamic and local cultures. One of the scholars as well as Buton Sultan was Muhammad Idrus Kaimuddin Ibnu Badaruddin Al Buthuni (1824-1851). His thought or ijitihad found the essence of the concept of manners according to the teachings of the ancestors in kabanti Bula Malino. His several works became the guidance of the public and court authorities in the Sultanate of Buton which were basically rooted from the teachings of Islam. Kaimuddin’s thought in terms of ethics, morals, manners, or advice showed his horizons of knowledge and the depth of leadership thought. The magnitude of Islamic influence in some of his works proves the enduring process of Islamic acculturation done continuously and deeply since the era of Buton Islamic empire. Kaimuddin’s thought is essentially a formation process of Buton’s civilization centered on the palace and passed to Buton society in general through the process of cultural dialogue between Buton culture (Wolio) and Islam.

The emergence of this movement is influenced by the effort to release from religious countercultures. Other manifestation of this spiritualism is in the form of fundamentalism movement. In extreme point, this movement can be seen from the emergence of extreme cult, such as those that teach tragic way of death.

Kaum sufi menapaki jalan yang berbeda untuk menuju hakikat, mereka tidak menggunakan akal dan rasio untuk sampai pada hakikat. Akan tetapi, akal bukan satu-satunya jalan untuk menuju hakikat. Karena kita sering melihat sesuatu yang di luar jangkauan akal dalam hidup ini. Jalan yang ditempuh kaum sufi untuk menuju hakikat seperti kasyf, dzauq, 'iyan, musyahadah dan sebagainya dinilai sebagai sesuatu yang samar, tidak mempunyai batasan dan kaidah pasti, bahkan sering kali bercampur dengan igauan, mimpi, khayalan dan angan-angan. Tapi yang perlu kita ingat adalah bahwa media-media tersebut telah mampu menuntun manusia untuk memecahkan sesuatu yang tidak bisa dipecahkan oleh akal dan hukum-hukum fisika. Tulisan ini akan mengkaji gagasan-gagasan dua tokoh tasawuf besar yaitu Ibnu Arabi dan Ibnu al-Farid yang hidup  pada abad keenam dan ketujuh Hijriah.

Dinamika Islam Politik Pasca Orde baru: Kajian Psikoanalisi Lacanian atas Hubungan KAMMI dan PKS
Authors: Umar Ahmad Rizky Mardhatillah
Published: November 2015

This article aims at analyzing the relations between student movement andpolitical party in post-reform era of Indonesia. KAMMI, a prominent Islamiststudent movement in Indonesia, often associated with PKS (Prosperous JusticeParty) in terms of identity and political practices. It has created ‘independencedilemma’ for KAMMI because since its first Congress in 1998, this studentorganization has declared ‘independent from all political forces’. This article,using Lacanian psychoanalytical tradition, exposes the forms of KAMMI’ssubjectivity and PKS interpellation that enable this political party to dominateKAMMI’s articulatory practices. The interpellation process is supported withthe projection of fantacy, emotion, and mirror in the development of KAMMIsince 1998 until present. It leads to PKS creating the KAMMI identity andthus made KAMMI’s articulatory practices identical with this party. However,there were several attempts to dislocate the hegemony through several internalreform movements. These attempts, although made contribution to internaldynamics within KAMMI, were unable to create alternative discourse dueto several limits of those movements. The case of KAMMI can be a model toexplain how other student movements develop and relate to political parties inIndonesian post-reform.
TEOLOGI LINGKUNGAN HIDUP DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAM
Authors: Fata Ahmad Khoirul
Published: November 2015

The damage of nature is believed to be derived from the man, the human mindset who place themselves at the center of this life (anthropocentrism). In this context the teachings of the monotheistic religions are often accused of having a major contribution to the establishment of the doctrine of anthropocentrism paradigm of human superiority over nature. This paper attempts to trace "traces the source of anthropocentrism" in the teachings of Islam in the form of man as a vicegerent on earth. From searches on various texts of Islam (especially the Qur'an), it is known that the position of man as a vicegerent on earth is not a blank check for people to vent all his passion for nature. Humans are created with a variety of advantages which make himself as caliph, but the position was given by God to human beings of all tasks to be assigned. Tasks is what makes the concept of the caliphate on earth does not support exploitative anthropocentrism to nature.

Long‐term trends in biomass and tree demography in northern hardwoods: an integrated field and simulation study
Authors: Halpin Corey R. , Lorimer Craig G.
Published: November 2015

Long‐term trends in forest biomass have important implications for carbon sequestration and storage, but chronosequence field studies and computer simulations have produced differing conclusions about whether biomass declines in older stands. In this paper, the Bormann‐Likens hypothesis of a biomass peak followed by a decline to a steady state with zero net growth is tested against alternative hypotheses of asymptotic or increasing trends with positive net growth even at advanced ages. Trends in aboveground live‐tree biomass and large tree density in northern hardwoods were examined from chronosequences and 30‐yr permanent plot data from unmanaged forests spanning a wide range of developmental stages, as well as multi‐century simulations using an intensively tested individual‐tree model (CANOPY). Both field data and simulations indicated an average decline in aboveground live‐tree biomass and number of large trees in the later stages of old growth under environmental conditions of the recent past. This decline was robust to modeling assumptions but occurred to varying degrees on different habitat types and species mixtures tested. The decline began when stand age structure was changing from even‐aged to multi‐aged, and when underlying size distributions shifted from a unimodal to descending monotonic form. In the majority of cases, net biomass growth of younger secondary cohorts was insufficient to compensate for attrition of the initial even‐aged cohort. Incorporating natural disturbances into the simulations lowered the level of the aboveground biomass peak, but a subsequent average decline was still predicted even with addition of the deadwood component. Mean annual net growth of live‐tree biomass in old‐growth stands with descending monotonic size distributions (i.e., quasi‐steady state) was approximately zero for both the field data and simulations. Results suggested that under recent environmental conditions, the aboveground component of old‐growth northern hardwoods in the study areas would be unlikely, on average, to continue accumulating carbon in stands >200 yr old, even when averaging over a larger landscape containing some younger stands with positive net growth.
Meditative Practice Cultivates Mindfulness and Reduces Anxiety, Depression, Blood Pressure, and Heart Rate in a Diverse Sample
Authors: Bell Taunjah P.
Published: November 2015

Meditative practices have been used as adjunct interventions for mental disorders and medical conditions. Although these innovative techniques have been the focus of much research, few studies have investigated the impact of mindfulness meditation on psychological and physiological variables in a diverse sample that may be at risk of developing stress-related medical conditions that can be linked to anxiety-inducing mental disorders. Our aim was to examine the effects of mindfulness meditation, eyes-closed relaxation, and silence on nonjudgmental awareness, anxiety, depression, blood pressure (BP; commonly defined as the pressure or force of blood against the inner walls of blood vessels as blood flows through the circulatory system and usually is measured in millimeters of mercury, or mmHg), and heart rate (HR; commonly defined as the speed of the heartbeat and is typically measured in beats per minute) in African Americans. Meditation significantly increased awareness and decreased anxiety, depression, BP, and HR in participants who practiced 30 min per day four times per week for 12 weeks. Eyes-closed relaxation noticeably reduced anxiety, BP, and HR but had no effect on awareness and depression as indicated by the measures used in this study. Results of the data collected from individuals in the group exposed to silence for 30 min per day four times per week for 12 weeks were not significant. Present findings provided evidence to support the beneficial effects of mindfulness meditation and suggested that this practice may serve as an inexpensive, nonpharmacological way of positively impacting the psychological and physical health of university students and urban residents who might be at risk of experiencing anxiety, depression, an inability to focus or pay attention, or even major stress-related illnesses because of the demands of school and quality of life.
Thermomagnetic convection of a magnetic nanofluid influenced by a magnetic field
Authors: Bouhrour Ali , Kalache Djamel
Published: November 2015

We present a numerical study of thermomagnetic convection in a differentially heated cavity. The magnetic nanofluid (ferrofluid) is subjected to a uniform magnetic gradient oriented at an angle, ?, with respect to the thermal gradient. The motivation for this work stems largely from a desire to extent preexisting works focused on horizontal and vertical orientations ? = 0?, 90?, 180?, and 270?. Our main goal is to get data on the flow and heat transfer for any orientation in the entire range 0-360?. The generalized problem lends itself to the investigation of orientations that give maximum heat transfer. It is found that, (1) at a given magneto- gravitational coupling number, N, orientations 0?, 90?, and 270?, for which magnetization gradient is unstable, are not the optimum ones, (2) for 0 < N ? 1, heat transfer reaches a maximum between 270? and 360?, (3) for N > 1, a second maximum occur between 0? and 90? owing to reverse flow phenomenon, (4) at strong magnetic gradients, the two heat transfer peaks take the same value, and (5) optimization parameter, ?, reflecting the strongest magnetic effect, grows with N. Unlike the gravity, magnetic gradient may supply various strengths and spatial configurations, which makes thermomagnetic convection more controllable. Also, the magnetic mechanism is a viable alternative for the gravity one in microgravity, where thermo-gravitational convection ceases to be efficient..
An experimental study on crib fires in a closed compartment
Authors: Dhurandher Bhisham , Kumar Ravi , Dhiman Amit
Published: November 2015

An experimental investigation on burning behavior of fire in closed compartments is presented. Fire experiments were performed in a closed compartment of interior dimensions 4 ? 4 ? 4 m (length ? width ? height) with ply board cribs as fire source. The parameters including the gas temperature, mass loss rate, heat flux, flame temperature, and compartment pressure were measured during the experiments. Experimental results indicated that the providing sudden ventilation to the closed compartment had great influence on the behavior of fire. The mass loss rate of the burning crib increased by 150% due to sudden ventilation which results in the increase in heat release rate by 198 kW. From the perspective of total heat flux, compartment pressure, and gas temperatures closed compartment with sudden ventilation were more hazardous.
Development of a simplified model for droplet vaporization

Published: November 2015

Droplet vaporization is an essential sub-process of fuel spray in diesel
engines?which has important effects on combustion and emissions performance.
Development of a simplified droplet vaporization model is necessary to
simulate gas mixture formation in cylinder for lower computational costs, and
it is also applicable in practical multi-dimension spray calculations for
diesel engines. An empirical exponential equation is introduced in this paper
to approximate the internal temperature profile of droplet instead of solving
the partial differential equation for temperature distribution. Results
indicate that the computational cost has been reduced by almost thirty
percent in total. Also, the concept of effective diffusion is introduced by
using an enlarged diffusivity to take account of the effect of internal
circulations inside droplets. The calculated result of the simplified
evaporation model has been compared with that of the infinite diffusivity
model and one-dimensional model respectively. It shows that the calculation
precision of the simplified model is among those two models.
Sitting Requirements and the CPA Exam
Authors: Soileau Jared S. , Usrey Spencer C. , Webb Thomas Z.
Published: November 2015

This study examines the association between jurisdictions' CPA exam educational requirements and exam pass rates, scores, and number of candidates from 2006 to 2013. More specifically, we examine provisional candidacy to sit for the CPA exam. Provisional status allows a candidate to sit for the CPA exam prior to obtaining the required number of hours or graduate degree. Our results indicate that while 150-hour exam jurisdictions outperform 120-hour jurisdictions, provisional jurisdictions outperform both 150- and 120-hour jurisdictions for pass rates and average scores. We also find that the number of candidates sitting for the exam is significantly lower for provisional and 150-hour jurisdictions than for 120-hour jurisdictions. Our study contributes to the literature by considering the potential benefits of sitting in provisional jurisdictions and is likely to be of interest to accounting educators, state boards, and public accounting firms.
