Authors: Rasheed Razia Abdul , Venkatraman G. , Vijayalakshmi S. , Raja T. A. R. , Senthil G. , Renugadevi P.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:

Long-term metabolic disease type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is distinguished by elevated blood glucose, insulin resistance, and drought of insulin with dyslipidemia. Oral hypoglycemic agents lower blood glucose levels as well as prevent both short-term and long-term complications such as micro/macrovascular atherosclerosis, chronic kidney diseases, and chronic heart disease. This study aims to compare the effect of glimepiride versus teneligliptin in combination with metformin in T2DM patients attending a tertiary care hospital.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This prospective, randomized, open-label study was initiated in a tertiary care hospital after obtaining IEC approval. Written informed consent was obtained. The sample size was calculated using “Statistics and sample size software.” Ninety-seven patients satisfying the inclusion criteria were assigned to two groups using simple randomization with allocation 1:1. Group A received metformin + glimepiride while Group B received metformin + teneligliptin for 12 weeks. Fasting blood sugar (FBS), postprandial blood sugar (PPBS), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and lipid profile were recorded at the baseline and at the end of 12 weeks. This study was conducted for 1 year. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0 software.

RESULTS:

Out of 97 participants (Group A: 48 and Group B: 49), Group A showed a higher reduction in FBS (48.18 ± 9.64) whereas Group B showed 72.53 ± 5.01, 1.74 ± 0.42 of change in PPBS and HbA1c after 12 weeks.

CONCLUSION:

The study found that combining metformin with teneligliptin was better tolerated and improved glycemic control and lipid profile compared to metformin plus glimepiride.
Metformin-induced eyelid myokymia
Authors: Ahsan Marya , Nizami Deba Jalal
Published: December 2024

Metformin, an insulin-sensitizer, is used in the treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in obese women as it helps in weight loss and regularizes the menstrual cycle. However, impaired absorption of Vitamin B12 due to metformin has also been hypothesized. Here, we report the case of a 39-year-old woman prescribed metformin for PCOS, presenting with an unusual symptom of eyelid myokymia. She developed distressing unilateral eyelid twitching, not responsive to conservative management or oral methylcobalamin. She was a nonsmoker, nonalcoholic, and nor caffeine-abuser. Other confounding factors such as stress, sleep deprivation, or eye strain were not evident. The only significant finding was borderline low Vitamin B12 levels. The symptoms subsided on discontinuation of metformin and reappeared when metformin was reintroduced. Although eyelid myokymia is a self-limiting benign condition, it can also be triggered by drugs and affect the quality of life. Practitioners should monitor Vitamin B12 levels during metformin therapy to prevent adverse effects.
Detection and segmentation framework for defect detection on multi‐layer ceramic capacitors
Authors: Kim Hyun‐Jae , Son Sung‐Bin , Oh Heung‐Seon
Published: December 2024

Detecting defective multi‐layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) during the inspection stage is a crucial production task to effectively manage production yield and maintain quality. However, this task presents two challenges: the necessity of pixel‐level segmentation in high‐resolution images and unexplored defect patterns. To address these challenges, this paper introduces an MLCC defect‐detection framework based on deep learning with an MLCC dataset we constructed and a comprehensive analysis of MLCC images. Our framework employs an object‐detection model to identify dielectric regions in input MLCC images, followed by a semantic segmentation model to create dielectric masks for calculating the margin ratio. This approach follows the traditional inspection process but can be performed without specialized personnel. Furthermore, we generated pseudo‐defect images using generative adversarial networks to obtain sufficient training data. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework, which achieved a defect‐detection accuracy of 93.1%, as revealed by an in‐depth error analysis.

Authors: Asanre Akorede Ayoola , Chinaka Taurayi W
Published: December 2024

Students who lack confidence believe that they cannot accomplish a work, view the activity as pointless, and as a consequence, don't want to put any time or effort into it when properly engaged brings about traits that are needed in a student, hence academic engagement is seen as a potential antidote to the issue of students’ self-efficacy in mathematics. Therefore, this paper investigated student’s self-efficacy in senior secondary school mathematics as being predicted using academic engagement. An ex-post facto correlational research design was used. 1680 students from Senior Secondary School II made up the study's sample from the twenty-one randomly selected schools in the three Local Government Areas of Remo division of Ogun State, Nigeria. Mathematics Student Academic Engagement Scale (MSAES) with  and Mathematics Self Efficacy Scale (MSES) with  . Findings showed that cognitive engagement significantly predicts self-efficacy of students in Mathematics (F = 527.320, p<0.05). Also, behavioural engagement significantly contributes to the variance in students’ self-efficacy in Mathematics (F = 759.251, p<0.05). Furthermore, emotional engagement significantly contributes to the variance in students’ self-efficacy in Mathematics (F = 667.409, p<0.05). Results also revealed that the predictor variables cognitive, behavioural and emotional engagement when taken together significantly contribute to the variance in students’ self-efficacy in Mathematics (F = 380.151, p<0.05). This study concluded that cognitive, emotional and behavioural engagements are good predictors of senior secondary school students’ mathematics self-efficacy. To increase students' self-efficacy in mathematics, stakeholders in Nigerian education are advised to ensure that students are engaged cognitively, emotionally, and behaviourally.

The findings of the study revealed that the shift to digital assessment platforms significantly altered evaluation practices across disciplines. Issues such as ensuring academic integrity, adapting assessment types, and enhancing feedback mechanisms created stark disparities between pre-pandemic and current assessment practices. The study also highlighted the impact of disciplinary contexts on assessment innovation as one of the pressing considerations in evolving evaluation methods. The research underscored the need for a balance between technological integration and pedagogical considerations in assessment design. Recommendations were made for enhancing digital literacy among educators, promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration in assessment design, and ongoing research into the long-term impacts of evolved assessment methods.
A stacked ensemble approach with resampling techniques for highly effective fraud detection in imbalanced datasets
Authors: Eteng Idongesit E. , Chinedu Udeze  L. , Ibor Ayei E.
Published: December 2024

In several earlier studies, machine learning (ML) has been widely explored for fraud detection. However, fraud detection is still a challenging problem. This is due to the imbalanced nature of fraud data, which leads to underperformance by most models in detecting a few fraud cases. Undetected fraud cases also account for the loss of several millions of dollars annually. Thus, we propose an ensemble approach that stacks five classifiers - Support Vector Machine, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Gaussian Na¨?ve Bayes, and k-Nearest Neighbour, and uses the Logistic Regression meta-classifier to make predictions based on a stacking algorithm and novel pipeline. The effectiveness of the proposed model is examined on three datasets. The first two datasets were trained and tested initially without resampling and then compared with the results obtained using the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) and RandomUnderSampler techniques. Only a balanced resampled dataset was trained on the third dataset that clearly showed an imbalance. From the results obtained, it is observed that the proposed model is highly competitive, with extant models producing ROC AUC of 99% and scoring above 98% in all other metrics. The approach is recommended for detecting fraud cases in similar case studies.
A PILOT STUDY TO CLINICALLY EVALUATE THE ROLE OF MARMA CHIKITSA
AND SARPAGANDHA CHURNA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION
Authors: raje singh Vandna , Marwaha Rita , Gupta Pankaj , Kumar chaurasia Swatantra , Sharma Shraddha
Published: December 2024

Hypertension (HTN) is a lifestyle disorder that occurs due to a faulty lifestyle and stressful psychological conditions with a low rate of remission and recovery. In Ayurveda, Hypertension can be correlated with Vata Pradhana
Tridoshaja Vyadhi. Many people with hypertension are undiagnosed for a long time or until diagnosed incidentally, so it can be considered a silent killer. About 1.13 billion people worldwide suffer from hypertension, so normalising abnormally high blood pressure is a difficult task. According to Ayurveda, systemic hypertension is
caused by vitiated Doshas, among which Vata and Pitta are the predominant Tridoshas that obstruct these Doshas'
movement in their respective Srotas. The idea of Avarana (occlusion at Dosha operating in a normal condition)
provides better knowledge of hypertension, which should be considered for improved outcomes in Ayurvedic disease therapy. Thus, an attempt will be made here to explore the treatment of hypertension from an Ayurvedic perspective and to comprehend the problem from Ayurvedic concepts. There are 107 marmas in the body. Tal Hridaya and Ani Marma are natural remedies that have been shown to have beneficial effects on the circulatory system, aiding in the prevention of essential hypertension, and the Ayurvedic plant medication Sarpagandha is well
known for its antihypertensive characteristic.

Authors: Dubey Sarvesh , Dubey Jyoti , Arya Lata
Published: December 2024

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common age-related disorder affecting millions of men worldwide. The conventional management of BPH involves pharmaceutical and surgical interventions, which have their own set of complications and limitations. In this context, the present study aimed to explore the efficacy of indigenous Ayurvedic drugs in managing Vatashthila (BPH). The study highlights the importance of considering the natural ageing process as a predisposing factor for BPH, as the classical Ayurvedic texts described. The Ayurvedic con-cept of Vatashthila, characterised by the predominance of Vata dosha and Dhatu Kshaya, is linked to the patho-physiology of BPH. The study also discusses the potential adverse effects of modern medicines and surgical procedures used to manage BPH. The present study suggests that indigenous Ayurvedic drugs may offer a safer and more effective approach to managing BPH, thereby reducing the risk of complications and promoting overall well-being.

SUSHRUT SAMHITA AND ITS APPLIED ASPECT IN CHIKITSA
Authors: Gupta Suwalal , Sharma Lakshita , Bochalya Anita , Sandeep Madhukar Lahange , Bhatnagar Vikash , Archana Nivrutti Bhangare
Published: December 2024

The human body is a complex organism, the gross mechanical properties of which are enabled by an intercon-nected musculoskeletal network controlled by the nervous system. The nature of musculoskeletal interconnection facilitates stability, voluntary movements, and robustness to injury. It is also known as the locomotor system and was previously known as the activity system. The skeleton is the structure that gives us shape and protects our internal organs. It offers a supportive framework for the attachment of muscles to facilitate movement. Our bones also act as a site for the production of blood cells and a store of minerals, particularly calcium. The skele-ton has five main functions: Support, protection, movement, blood cell production, and mineral storage. Despite being ancient science, Ayurveda describes human Anatomy and Musculoskeletal elements. In Ayurveda, Peshi, Asthi, Sandhi, Snayu, Kandara, along with Jaala, Kurcha, Mamsarajju, Seevani, Sangatha, and Simanta, are de-scribed as part of the Musculoskeletal system.
Musculoskeletal symptoms or injuries are among the most common reasons for seeking medical attention. De-spite the high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in all fields of clinical practice, clinicians continue to de-scribe poor confidence in their musculoskeletal clinical skills. Here in this research work, an overview of the Ayurveda review of Musculoskeletal Elements and their clinical importance has been discussed. Diseases relat-ed to musculoskeletal elements are increasing day by day. Comprehensive knowledge about these elements will help us to understand the diseases better and proper and effective management.

A LITERATURE REVIEW ON SHAYYAMUTRA AND ITS MANAGEMENT.
Authors: Kulkarni Aditi , Deodas Madhavi , Singh Sudha , Chutke Sumit
Published: December 2024

Nocturnal enuresis, or Shayyamutra, while not physiologically detrimental, adversely impacts a child's mentality and indicates delayed brain development. Ayurveda categorises this issue as a Kaphaavrita Vata ailment with associated Tama involvement. Shayya Mutra’s account is included in the Sharangadhara and Vangasen Samhita. The literature review and documented studies in Ayurvedic terminology emphasised the significance of specific Kaphaghna/Pramehaghna substances (such as Marich, Bimbi, Vangabhasma, Khadira, Shilajit, Chandraprabha Vati), nervine tonics (including Brahmi, Giloy, Yashtimadhu, Shankhpushpi), Panchakarma therapies (notably Nasya and Shirodhara), and, most critically, Sattvavajaya Chikitsa. Therefore, in light of the pathophysiology of Shayyamutra, treatment should be devised using a multidimensional strategy encompassing all co-factors. Be-havioural issues such as bedwetting, stammering, and sleepwalking are prevalent in early children. Bedwetting (Shayyamutra) is one of the persistent issues.
Enuresis is characterised by the involuntary and nearly complete discharge of urine at inappropriate times and locations at least twice monthly after the age of five Shayyamutra of psychosomatic origin. Enuresis must be distinguished from continuous or intermittent incontinence or dribbling. In enuresis, the bed is typically saturat-ed, whereas incontinence involves pee loss without the regular voiding of the bladder. In most instances, the primary cause of enuresis is attributed to behavioural and emotional factors. It may also be attributed to urinary tract infections, food allergies, obstructive sleep apnea, and persistent constipation, among other factors. Ayur-veda emphasises the significance of both medicinal and psychological interventions for the ailment. A nervine tonic medication that enhances bladder control and strengthens bladder muscles, possessing Grahi, Stambhana, and Mutrasamgrahaniya qualities, can reverse the pathology of Shayyamutra. Components of management ex-tend beyond the selection of an individual medication or Kalpa.
HEPATOPROTECTIVE POTENTIAL OF SHIRISHADI YOGA IN ACETAMINO-PHEN-INDUCED HEPATOXICITY – REVIEW
Authors: Bhushan Bharat , Singh Jaram , Prajapati Munna Lal
Published: December 2024

Ayurveda, an ancient holistic system from India, emphasises balancing the mind, body, and spirit for health, focusing on disease prevention through diet, exercise, and mental well-being. Paracetamol (acetaminophen), a widely used pain reliever, can cause liver toxicity when overused, leading to acute liver failure. Agada Tantra, Ayurveda's toxicology branch, addresses various poisonings, including synthetic toxins like food adulteration and drug
interactions, termed "Gara Visha." Gara Visha shares similarities with drug-induced hepatotoxicity. Shirishadi
Yoga, an Ayurvedic formulation, contains hepatoprotective herbs with anti-poison, anti-inflammatory, and bloodpurifying properties. It balances Doshas and detoxifies the liver, potentially preventing liver damage by suppressing toxic metabolites and enhancing glutathione synthesis. Its ingredients, known for antioxidants, immunomodulatory, and hepatoprotective actions, make Shirishadi Yoga a valuable remedy for liver protection, particularly in Gara Visha-related disorders.

Authors: Kothekar Vedanti , Charde Alka
Published: December 2024

In Ayurveda, headaches, referred to as Shirah Shula in Sanskrit, are linked to imbalances in the doshas, aiding in
the identification of their underlying causes, which may stem from nervous tissues or bone structures. The human
body contains 107 Marma points, 37 in the head and neck region, suggesting that Marma Chikitsa can be a
valuable approach for headache treatment. This review aims to enhance understanding of the role of Marma
Chikitsa in managing various types of headaches in patients. It explores specific Marma points associated with
different headache types and demonstrates how stimulation of these points can alleviate pain. Headaches can arise
not only from imbalances in Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas but also from their various combinations. Effective
treatment begins with identifying the headache type and relevant Marma points. Among the multiple therapies,
Shirodhara is highlighted for its safety and efficacy, providing a calming and anxiolytic effect. Additionally,
stimulating the pain-related Marma points significantly enhances healing and reduces discomfort. In conclusion,
Marma Chikitsa promotes a harmonious balance of energies among the body, mind, and soul, facilitating effective
pain relief.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disorder of the liver characterised by abnormal fat
accumulation in liver parenchyma without inflammation in the absence of alcohol consumption. Stages of
NAFLD can be classified as Simple Fatty Liver to Non-Alcoholic Steato Hepatitis (NASH). Simple Fatty Liver
has a benign prognosis. NASH is associated with Fibrosis and progression to Cirrhosis. So, managing the initial
stage can prevent many health hazards in the future. As NAFLD is categorised as a Santarpanajanya Vyadhi,
therapeutic measures involving Apatarpana Chikitsa should be adopted. Detailed information regarding Santarpanajanya Vyadhi and its Chikitsa is available in different Samhitas. ie, Nidana Parivarjana, Deepana –Pachana,
Samshodhana and Samsamana. It is Kaphapradhana Tridosha Kopa Vikara. Hence, the selected medicine should
possess qualities like Deepana- Pachana, Srothoshodhana, Medhohara, Kaphahara and Vatanulomana. Introducing effective Ayurvedic management after evaluating diseases from an Ayurvedic perspective will benefit society.

THE KING BHOJA
Authors: Yadav Aditi , - Disha , Bala Renu , Vidyanath R
Published: December 2024

The Rājamārtāṇḍa, an influential text on Āyurveda, authored by King Bhoja in the 11th century, is a concise compendium of practical medicinal formulations known for its accessibility and relevance to general practition-ers. Also called Yogasārasañgraha or Nānāvidha-Yogasañgraha, this work organizes therapeutic recipes into 34 chapters covering all eight branches of Āyurveda, with one chapter uniquely dedicated to veterinary medi-cine. Designed for ease of use, Rājamārtāṇḍa provides over 450 formulations that address a wide array of ail-ments, from common conditions to specific cosmetic treatments, making it an accessible manual for practitioners and students alike. Notably, King Bhoja’s scholarly contributions extend beyond medicine to fields like astron-omy, philosophy, and literature, attesting to his intellectual prowess.
Distinctive features of Rājamārtāṇḍa include its emphasis on formulation simplicity and the exclusion of exten-sive etiological discussions, focusing instead on practical, symptom-based recipes. Bhoja often employs analo-gies, such as treatments yielding a “gold-like radiance” to the skin, and uses rare synonyms for diseases and herbs, reflecting his literary sophistication. Each chapter is crafted with limited formulations, ranging from mono-herbal to complex recipes, facilitating ease of study and practice for novices and seasoned practitioners alike.
This study aims to revive interest in Rājamārtāṇḍa’s practical applications and encourage further clinical re-search to validate its efficacy, thus reaffirming its place as an invaluable resource in traditional and integrative medical practice.
THE PERSISTENT GRIP OF CHEWING TOBACCO AND ITS HARMFUL EF-FECTS ON AN INDIVIDUAL – A REVIEW ARTICLE

Published: December 2024

A majority of individuals in India engage themselves in daily consumption despite the prominent warning labels
on tobacco chewing products such as “Tobacco is injurious to health and tobacco kills”, “Tobacco causes painful
death”, and “Tobacco users die younger”. Tobacco kills over 8 million people annually and is readily available at
a meagre price in our country. Its nicotine content makes it a potent and highly addictive substance. Once an individual becomes hooked on nicotine, breaking free becomes a challenge due to the relentless grip of withdrawal
symptoms and insatiable cravings. Tobacco has become a coping mechanism to help an individual navigate the
stress, anxiety and emotional turmoil of life. This reliance bows to a psychological dependence that's hard to escape. Hence, the repeated and continued use of tobacco results in addiction. Its usage poses serious health risks,
and there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco. From its origin in America to its global spread, tobacco’s legacy
is complex and complicated. The modern-day challenges of regulations and health issues continue to evolve as
society balances the interests of public health, economic considerations and an individual's freedom. In Ayurveda,
Tobacco was first described as Tamakhu by Aacharya Yogratnakara in the 17th century. Combating this global
threat is essential to save lives and improve public health. The need of the hour is to create awareness, which can
help in decreasing the harmful effects of long-term consumption of tobacco.

San Roque, un antiguo patronazgo olvidado en Huelva.
Authors: Calvo Lázaro Rocío
Published: December 2024

La imagen de San Roque, antiguo patrón de Huelva contra la peste, debió de existir desde al menos 1582, año en que se construye una ermita en la zona de la Vega Larga en su honor. Desde los comienzos de esta devoción, se fundó a su alrededor una cofradía que junto al Cabildo municipal se encargaba de organizar las fiestas en su honor cada 16 de agosto. En el presente artículo vamos a analizar cómo se pierde el patronazgo de este santo tras la absorción de la ermita por parte del convento de la Merced, construido por iniciativa del XI conde de Niebla en 1605 y los numerosos conflictos que derivaron de ella. Para ello se han analizado las publicaciones existentes y, a continuación, se ha investigado en varios archivos de Huelva y Sevilla, atendiendo principalmente a las Actas capitulares de Huelva y a los testamentos de los onubenses, donde se han analizado las mandas religiosas y las limosnas.
Italia en Chile: esculturas desde el Museo de Copias de Santiago hasta el espacio de la Paulonia (siglos XIX-XXI).
Authors: Cinelli Noemi
Published: December 2024

En el presente artículo focalizaremos nuestra atención en el Museo de Copias en Santiago de Chile, proyecto impulsado a finales de siglo XIX por Alberto Mackenna Subercaseaux y que reunió las reproducciones de las más famosas estatuas de la Antigüedad y de los siglos XV-XVII procedentes de museos italianos y franceses. Las vicisitudes ligadas a un grupo de seis esculturas de dicha colección son el motivo para reflexionar acerca de los intercambios decimonónicos entre Italia y Chile en ámbito escultórico que perduran vivos hoy en día, sobre la recuperación de obras artísticas eclipsadas de los circuitos de fruición pública a causa de la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet, y sobre la gestión patrimonial y museística de Chile y los procesos de valorización de su patrimonio histórico artístico.
Percepción del profesorado castellanoleonés sobre sus conocimientos en materia de igualdad, diversidad sexual y educación sexual
Authors: Heras Sevilla Davinia , Alonso Martínez Laura , Barriuso Ortega Sonia
Published: December 2024

En las últimas décadas han sido muchas las conquistas en materia de igualdad de derechos y oportunidades de las mujeres y las personas LGTBIQ+. Sin embargo, son numerosas las situaciones de discriminación, exclusión e incluso violencia que padecen las personas con diversidades sexuales y de género (Damanpak-Rizi et al., 2021; Sánchez Sibony et al., 2018). La escuela no es ajena a esta situación, siendo un contexto indispensable para revertir estas manifestaciones. La formación y voluntad del profesorado se tornan fundamentales para el cumplimiento de las directrices y recomendaciones nacionales e internacionales en materia de igualdad, inclusión y educación sexual integral. Por ello, el presente estudio centra su atención en los conocimientos autopercibidos en materia de igualdad, diversidad sexual, coeducación y educación sexual del profesorado en ejercicio de la comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León. Los resultados obtenidos revelan un desconocimiento generalizado en materia de diversidad sexogenérica y derechos sexuales. Se evidencia también una alta autoperpeción de conocimientos sobre igualdad de género y feminismo. Todo ello avala la necesidad real de mejorar la formación inicial y permanente del profesorado, ahondado tanto en epistemologías feministas y queer, como en aspectos prácticos y didácticos que permitan mejorar la acción docente.
Colonization is Misogynistic: The Sterilization of Native American Women in the Twentieth Century
Authors: Arguelles Mandeline
Published: December 2024

This paper is a historical essay based on the collection of research from several scholars, such as Juliana Barr, Sarah Deer, and Nancy Shoemaker, on the continuous cycle of colonial violence against the indigenous people of North America. Colonial violence used the matriachal system of traditional native society, which valued women as the center of their communities, to target native women due to their patriarchal values. This paper investigates the destruction of traditional native society as central to colonization, beginning with European contact and it's continuous cycle within contemporary society. It focuses on the forced sterilization of Native American women in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States, to demonstrate that colonial violence is not an issue of the past.
Generational Wanderers
Authors: Heib Lauren
Published: December 2024

After the start World War, the United States found that manpower for agricultural work was limited, and thus began to outsource its seasonal labor to migrant farm workers. Despite the hardship of moving from place to place, and American citizen's prickly acceptance of migrant families, these laborers all over the country during harvest seasons, often leaving their homes for months at a time. Drawing from the oral history of Natividad “Nati” Castillo, his families migration around the United States during the spring and summer months became a generational pilgrimage. Ultimately three generations of Castillos would follow the same migration pattern with little variation. While Nati’s personal migratory experience ends just before the Agricultural Workers Movement lead by Cesar Chavez, Nati's oral history conceptualizes the migrants necessity of agricultural labor. Nati’s family, like many others, traveled on a seasonal, migrational track that moved out of the dry southern states, to northern states with plentiful crops waiting to be harvested.

Authors: Putra M. Adi , Sara Rineka
Published: December 2024

The rise of app-based transportation services has led to a shift in lifestyle from conventional to online, from shopping needs to public transportation orders and various other services. The study aimed to explore the legal uncertainty that currently exists in the regulation of apps-based transport services, as well as the barriers and efforts to create legal certainty in this context. This study analyzed the data through a qualitative approach, employing a combination of legal analysis and comparative methods. The results show that the lack of clear regulations regarding the use of two-wheeled vehicles as public transport creates significant weaknesses within the industry. The lack of fair competition principles in Indonesia is an important concern in the context of transportation regulation. This work provides valuable insights for policymakers, regulators, and stakeholders involved in the transportation sector, suggesting pathways for improving regulatory clarity and effectiveness. By analyzing these areas, future research could contribute valuable insights to aid policymakers in creating a more coherent, effective, and responsive regulatory environment that supports the sustainable growth of the app based transportation sector while ensuring the safety and protection of all parties involved.

Authors: Mulya Ratna Pristiana , Suparno Suparno
Published: December 2024

This study aims to highlight the critical need to update the provisions on departure prevention in Indonesia's Immigration Law, specifically addressing the legal uncertainty arising from the phrase "at any time" in Article 97 Paragraph (1), which has the potential to cause prevention without an exact time limit. The study utilized a qualitative approach, employing a combination of legal analysis and empirical observation. The case approach allowed the author to analyze court decisions or concrete cases related to departure prevention, providing insights into how these regulations were implemented in practice and their implications for individual rights. The analysis focused on the implications of these legal frameworks for individuals' rights and the effectiveness of departure prevention measures, drawing connections between legal norms and their practical outcomes. The research provides a foundation for further discussions on enhancing legal certainty and protecting individual rights within the immigration framework, thereby contributing to the overall improvement of the legal system in Indonesia.

Authors: Diatmika Komang Trisna , Sara Rineke
Published: December 2024

This study examines the legal uncertainty arising from the implementation of Government Regulation No. 51 of 2020 concerning the change in passport validity from 5 years to 10 years, as well as the need for legal reform to address the issue. Legal uncertainty occurs due to the absence of clear implementing regulations, thus affecting the effectiveness of policy implementation in the field of immigration administration, including tariff adjustments and management of passport forms. The purpose of this study is to analyze the lack of clear implementing regulations and their impact on immigration administration, proposing solutions such as creating comprehensive guidelines, legal harmonization, and system updates to ensure policy execution. This research utilizes the normative method to analyze the legal uncertainty surrounding Government Regulation Number 51 of 2020 by examining the relevant legal standards. This study finds that the enactment of Government Regulation No. 51 of 2020 has created legal uncertainties, particularly regarding the transition for existing passports, fee adjustments, and administrative procedures. These ambiguities may disrupt immigration services and confuse both the public and immigration officers, calling for clear guidelines and implementing regulations to ensure the smooth execution of the policy. This study recommends legal reform by preparing comprehensive implementing regulations, harmonization with related laws, and updating the administrative system to support policy implementation. This study suggests a more adaptive legal framework and increases the capacity of technology and human resources to face future immigration challenges.

Cahiliye’den İslam’a Dârünnedve
Authors: Dindi Korkut
Published: December 2024

İslam öncesi Arapların, Mekke’nin idaresi ve Kâbe hizmetleriyle ilgili en önemli kurumsal yapılarından biri Dârünnedve’dir. Kusay (Zeyd) b. Kilâb’ın (ö. 480?) Huzâa kabilesiyle mücadele edip Mekke’de yönetimi ele geçirdikten sonra kendisi için inşa ettiği bu yapı, zamanla Kureyş kabilesinin önemli siyasi, dini, içtimai meseleleri görüşüp karara bağladığı büyük toplantı evine dönüşmüştür. Kureyş’in ileri gelenleri, şehri ve kabileyi ilgilendiren mesele ve işleri görüşmek ve istişare etmek üzere belli zamanlarda burada toplanıp oturdukları için “Dârünnedve” olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Literatürde Dârünnedve’ye gerek klasik kaynaklarda ve gerekse modern çalışmalarda kısa ve öz olarak cahiliye bağlamında temas edilse de ülkemizde konuyla alakalı makale türünde henüz herhangi bir müstakil çalışmaya rastlamış değiliz. Bu çalışma, literatür taraması yöntemiyle, Dârünnedve’ye dair klasik kaynaklarda dağınık ve parçalı bir şekilde yer alan bilgi ve verileri derleyerek bir senteze ulaşmayı ve analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Başka bir ifadeyle Dârünnedve’nin tarihsel süreç içerisinde gerek İslam öncesi gerekse İslam sonrası dönemde yapısal ve işlevsel durumunu, geçirdiği değişim ve dönüşümü, akıbetini ayrıntılı ve kronolojik olarak ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Bu yönüyle kapsamlı ve özgün olduğunu düşündüğümüz bu çalışmanın, literatüre ve alanına katkı sağlayacağını ümit etmekteyiz.
İslam Öncesi Arap Toplumunda Sulh
Authors: Hocaoğlu Öznur
Published: December 2024

Tarih, en ilkel toplumların bile bir noktadan sonra sulhe ihtiyaç duyduklarını kaydetmiştir. Bu araştırma, çatışma ve ihtilaf içinde olmaları ile bilinen Cahiliye dönemi Arap toplumunun da sulhten beri olmadığını ortaya koymak amacı ile yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada Cahiliye dönemi Arap toplumunda mevcut olan sulh uygulamaları ele alınmıştır. Makalenin giriş kısmında “Cahiliye dönemi” ve “sulh” kavramlarından ne kastedildiği belirtilmiştir. Birinci başlık altında Cahiliye döneminde uygulanan sulh şekilleri olan “hilf”, “îlâf”, “emân”, “himâye”, “civâr”, “habl” müesseseleri iki grup halinde izah edilmiştir. Bu yapıların amaçları, seremonileri, sonuçları örneklerle açıklanmıştır. İkinci başlık altında ise Cahiliye Araplarının sulhe ve barış ortamına ulaşmasını kolaylaştıran haram aylara hürmet örfüne, ara buluculuk sistemine, diyet ve kasâme tatbikatlarına yer verilmiştir. Konuyla ilgili tüm veri ve bulgular betimsel içerik ve analiz yöntemiyle ifade edilmiştir. Cahiliye dönemini savaş ve barbarlıktan ibaret görmenin doğru olmadığı, Cahiliye Araplarının da şiddetin olumsuz yönlerinden korunabilmek, hayatın olağan akışını sürdürebilmek amacı ile barış içinde yaşama çabalarının olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
Cahiliyenin Döngüselliği: Kabile, Kadın ve Köle
Authors: Ortakcı Halil
Published: December 2024

Cahiliye toplumunu muhatap alan Kur’an yirmi üç yılda nâzil olmuştur. Mezkûr zaman diliminde Hz. Peygamber (s), insanlara tebliğde bulunmuş ve sahabe neslinin yetişmesini sağlamıştır. İnanç, örf ve âdet bakımından toplumun cahiliyeden İslâm’a geçişi sürece yayılmıştır. Buna mukabil Resûlullah, cahiliyeyi her zaman geri gelebilecek toplumsal veya bireysel olgu olarak kabul ederek ashâbını dikkatli olmaları hususunda uyarmıştır. Bu geriye gidişler sosyal nizamın temelinde yer alan kabile, kadın ve köle üzerinden okunabilir. Nitekim Hz. Muhammed’in (s) vefatından sonra katı kabilecilik anlayışından kaynaklı ridde hadiseleri vuku bulmuştur. Aynı şekilde tarih boyunca kavmiyetçilik, özelde İslâm ümmetinin genelde ise insanlığın problemi olmuştur. İslâm, anneliğe kutsiyet atfederek cahiliye âdeti olarak kadınlığa yönelik olumsuz algıyı da hüküm olarak ortadan kaldırmıştır. Ancak süreç içerisinde kız çocuklarına ve hanımlara bakışta eskiye dönüşler meydana gelmiştir. Hz. Peygamber zamanında köleci toplumdan köleli topluma geçiş yaşanmış; onların azat edilmek suretiyle süreç içerisinde en azından istisnai bir sosyal statü olması hedeflenmiştir. Bu makalede İslâm öncesi Arap toplumunda kabile, kadın ve köleliğin Hz. Peygamber (s) zamanında geçirdiği değişim merkeze alınarak modern döneme kadar adı geçen üç ögedeki geriye gidişler panoramik biçimde ele alınacaktır.
Cahiliye Döneminde Çocuklar
Authors: Sabuncu Ömer
Published: December 2024

Hz. Peygamber’in gönderildiği bölgede Hz. İbrahim ve Hz. İsmail’in tebliğ etmiş olduğu tevhid inancını insanların zamanla heva ve hevesine kapılarak bozduğu ve bu inançtan uzaklaştığı bilinmektedir. Bu döneme özel olarak Cahiliye adı verilmektedir. İslâm öncesi dönemde insanların sahip olduğu inanç, kültür ve davranışların bir kısmı İslâmî döneme nakledilmiş Hz. Muhammed (s.a.s.) bunların tümünü değiştirmeye yönelmemiş, tevhîd inancından sapan kısımları düzeltmeye çalışmıştır. Dolayısıyla İslâm, içerisine doğduğu toplumun yanlış özelliklerine ve şartlarına karşı bir tavır geliştirmiştir. Bunlardan bazılarını ilga etmişken bazılarına dokunmamış, bir kısmını ise tashih etmiştir. Buna rağmen Cahiliye dönemi çoğu zaman zihinlerde olumsuz bir çağrışım yapmaktadır. Cahiliye döneminde Arapların yanlış uygulamaları arasında çocuklara karşı bazı tutumları da öne çıkarılmıştır. Kız çocuklarının diri diri gömülmesi bunun en uç örneğidir. Biz de bu çalışmada İslâm öncesi dönemde çocukların doğumundan itibaren karşılaştıkları tutumları, aile içindeki rol ve sorumlulukları, kısaca çocuklara bakışı ana hatlarıyla incelemek istedik. Buna göre, çocukların sütanneye verilme nedenleri, eğitim aldıkları yerler ve sıklıkla oynadıkları oyunlar gibi konular ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, Cahiliye döneminde yaşamış çocukların sosyal ve kültürel açıdan nasıl bir yaşam biçimine sahip olduklarını örnekler üzerinden tespit etmektir. Ayrıca bu çalışmada İslâm öncesi dönemdeki çocuklar hakkında sınırlı bilgilere rağmen, mevcut kaynaklardan elde edilen veriler ve tarihî belgeler ışığında çocukların doğumundan itibaren nasıl bir hayata gözlerini açtıklarını ve toplumdaki yerlerinin nasıl bir süreçten geçtiğini tespit etmeyi hedeflenmektedir. Sonuç olarak Cahiliye dönemi tüm olumsuz çağrışımlarına rağmen, çocukların sütanneye verilmesi, eğitimleriyle ilgilenilmesi ve sosyal alandan koparılmamaları açısından incelenmeye değer bir toplumsal yaşamın var olduğu bir dönem olarak görülmektedir.
