Published: June 2024

Fatwa is an Islamic legal decision issued by a mufti or a fatwa council that holds authority in the Islamic religion. Fatwa serves as a guide for Muslims in practicing Islamic law and addressing issues that arise in their daily lives. Fatwas can cover various aspects, including matters of halal and haram (permissible and prohibited), worship, marriage, transactions, and social issues. Muftis or fatwa councils will study and discuss specific issues and then provide their views on them. While fatwas are discussed from a religious perspective, they also take into account local customs and cultural aspects. Local customs and culture hold significant sensitivity that needs to be preserved to maintain harmony and cohesion in societies with diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds, particularly in Malaysia. Therefore, this paper discusses the role of fatwa as a mechanism for social cohesion and harmony in a pluralistic society, specifically in Malaysia. This study adopts a documentary research approach and utilizes content analysis as the analytical method. The study finds that Malaysia exhibits a diversity of cultures and religions, and fatwa plays a crucial role in ensuring that Islamic practices are in line with local customs and fostering unity among different communities. This paper found that Fatwa plays a crucial role in maintaining unity in Malaysia's pluralistic society. Malaysia is a country characterized by ethnic and religious diversity, and fatwa serves as a guide for Muslims in practicing Islamic law while considering the context of this diverse society. Fatwa plays a role in overcoming divisions and differences of opinion within the Muslim community itself. Fatwas issued by officially recognized fatwa bodies help to generate agreement and consensus among Muslims in practicing their religion. From other aspect, fatwa is the mechanism for unity in Malaysia's pluralistic society functions to ensure that the lives of Muslims align with the religious and cultural values of the local context, while fostering harmony and cooperation among diverse communities in the country.

Published: June 2024

The closure of educational institutions due to the Covid 19 pandemic and transition from in person classroom to distance learning through various electronic platforms, confronted the educational community with new challenges and practices. In this context, the aim of this research is to identify challenges and practices that teachers and students faced during the distance teaching and learning process. More specifically, in identifying the challenges and practices in lesson planning, access to online lectures, developing student interaction, developing group work, addressing student critical thinking and student motivation.  The research was carried in Higher Education Institutions in Kosovo, whereas the sample of this research were 155 students of University for Business and Technology (UBT), who fulfilled an online survey and 7 teachers of the Higher Education Institutions in Kosovo with whom a direct interview was carried.  The results obtained from this research indicate two main perspectives: didactical and infrastructural aspects. Concerning the didactic aspect the difficulties faced are in implementing syllabuses during the online lessons and that there should be modifications in planning the online lessons. Student engagement, increase of the interactivity and motivation requires proper planning. Whereas, as far as the infrastructural aspect is concerned, the lack of an adequate Learning Management System (LMS) equipped with technological tools that enables interactivity and group work, is seen as a hindrance for realizing successfully the distance learning and teaching.

Authors: Saeed Mahlaqa , Ibrar Muhammad , Mahmood Dua , Delshadi Amirmohammad , Saleemi Aqdas
Published: June 2024

This study explores the integration of partial, order reduction techniques with model checking to enhance the verification of cryptographic protocols. Cryptographic, protocols are essential for securing digital communications, and data; however, ensuring their robustness and reliability through traditional verification methods can be challenging due to, their complexity and the vast number of potential executions, paths. This research utilizes the SPIN, model checker and PROMELA language to model and verify three types of, cryptographic protocols: a basic authentication handshake, an encrypted data transfer, protocol, and a complex, multi-factor authentication process. Each protocol was, verified with and, without the application of partial order reduction techniques. The findings demonstrate that partial order, reduction, not only significantly reduces the computational resources, required—by approximately 40%—but also maintains the thoroughness needed to identify critical, security flaws such as replay, attacks, data integrity breaches, and authentication failures. This study, underscores the, efficacy of combining partial order reduction with model, checking, proposing that this, approach significantly improves the scalability and efficiency, of cryptographic protocol, verification. The results advocate, for the continued development and application of these, techniques to ensure the secure and reliable deployment of cryptographic protocols in various digital environments

The Vampire Economy and the Market: An Assessment of Economic and Political Dynamics
Authors: O’Neill Ben
Published: June 2024

The competing political-economic systems of free-market capitalism and fascism are vastly different systems, rather than variants of the same genus, as they are sometimes presented. Though these systems are connected by a continuum of possible levels of government intervention, fascism is a form of hyper-interventionism amounting to socialism. The system of fascism is examined here by reference to the business and economic climate prevailing in Nazi Germany. This shows that the political and economic dynamics of fascism are very different to those of free-market capitalism. In particular, government actions in the fascist political system lead to a business environment where economic entrepreneurialism is gradually replaced by political entrepreneurialism, leading to an entrenched and privileged ruling elite. The productive business class is replaced by an unproductive class of political entrepreneurs. The result of this process is economic decline and ultimately economic collapse, precipitating a drive to war.
Ludwig von Mises and Libertarian Organizations: Strategic Lessons
Authors: Hülsmann Jörg Guido
Published: June 2024

The most important vehicle through which Ludwig von Mises spread his ideas was his writings. But his impact was also leveraged through personal association with like-minded people in various private networks and organizations. The present paper highlights the more general significance of Mises’ personal experience, by putting it into a wider historical context. We argue that it was no accident that his influence was amplified through private rather than public organizations. The emergence of influential libertarian organizations such as the Foundation for Economic Education and the Mont Pèlerin Society can be interpreted as a belated “free-market” reaction to increased government control of economic science during the previous seventy years. Just as libertarian scholarship in the 19th century was most successful because it relied on private initiatives and private organizations, the new organizations that came into their day after WW II were successful for exactly the same reason. The implication is that the best way to promote libertarian scholarship (and possibly the only way to preserve it) is to embed it within a purely private institutional framework.
Spontaneous Order Approach in Political Science
Authors: Szafruga Piotr
Published: June 2024

The theory of spontaneous order conceptualizes and explains institutions and social phenomena which are not deliberately created, buy rather emerged as an unintended effect of grassroots activity of individuals following their own aims. Moreover, it argues that complex social structures cannot be formed deliberately. Due to human cognitive limitations these structures emerge only in unplanned manner. However, this approach is not widely recognised in social sciences, especially in political science. Addressing this situation the article implies that theory of spontaneous order can find application in explaining political phenomena. It presents an overview of some of possible areas within the scope of political science where theory of spontaneous order may provide valuable insight into studied phenomena. The proposed approach helps understanding the coordinative character of spontaneous processes and introduces new arguments to the discussions about conceptions and theories already present in political science, like the theory of public choice or the conception of veil of ignorance.

Authors: Howden David
Published: June 2024

Many academics toil a thankless life, striving for truth amid a sea of fallacies and inaccuracies. Some who do this with mediocrity are ignored. Those who do it well are often subject to intense criticism and ridicule. A select few rise to the challenge, and with conviction, carry forward – ever aiming to convince the masses that their truthful pursuit is right. Of this miniscule number of individuals, only a handful may ever reach the point where their peers recognize them for their insights, and reward their toils accordingly. Hans-Hermann Hoppe is one such individual.

Published: June 2024

The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between the praxeology of L. von Mises and the theory of action of Alfred Schütz. Because of the importance that Mises’ theory has had on economics it is interesting to highlight the coincidences and synergies which exist between the two authors. In the first place, it is interesting because the praxis as a theory of the action is being more and more diffused in the social sciences and in the second place, because the importance which the work of A. Schütz and the direct pupils, especially Thomas Luckmann has had on sociology.
Review of TANSTAAFL: A Libertarian Perspective on Environmental Policy by Edwin G. Dolan
Authors: Malý Vítězslav
Published: June 2024

The book TANSTAAFL: A Libertarian Perspective on Environmental Policy from the American professor of economics, Edwin G. Dolan, represents an uncommon outlook on issues of environmental policy and economics. In the mysterious abbreviation TANSTAAFL, there is contained the principal motto which is pervading the whole book: “There ain't no such thing as a free lunch”. According to Dolan, the TANSTAAFL principle describes a simple fact that “Everything of value has a cost. Calling something 'free' doesn't make it free, it just make it harder to trace how great the cost is and who bears it.“ (p. 1). The uncommonness of Dolan`s book consists not only in the libertarian view on the topics of environmental policy and in applying the TANSTAAFL approach to many environmental problems, but also in the conception of this book. The first edition of professor Dolan's book was published in 1971 (under the title TANSTAAFL: The Economic Strategy for Environmental Crisis) and now, forty years later, we can read not only an ordinary reprint of the original book, but a very actual text solving the environmental problems from today's point of view. The actual edition of TANSTAAFL is supplemented with the author`s commentaries, which are as long as the original text. The commentary to each chapter is simply organized into two subchapters: What has changed, and what has not changed.
Review of Inventing Freedom: How the English-Speaking Peoples Made the Modern World by Daniel Hannan
Authors: Watts Tyler
Published: June 2024

In the political correctness ethos of our age, one of the worst crimes an academic might commit is to make a claim of civilizational exceptionalism for a particular nation – i.e. a particular group of people identified primarily by ethno-linguistic ties. Fortunately, Daniel Hannan is a politician, not an academic, and thus is free to pen a book committed to such a thesis. In Inventing Freedom, Hannan makes a bold, intricate case for the legal and political – and therefore economic – exceptionalism of the English-speaking countries, which he refers to as the “Anglosphere.” Hannan’s book is sure to raise the hackles of multiculturalists and the diversity lobby, while appealing to the nativist sentiments of some conservatives. Yet this book is no mere polemic offered up for party ideologues, such as might emerge from the pen of a Sarah Palin or Al Franken. Hannan’s work is of a much more nuanced, scholarly bent, and brings a deep historical perspective to issues of central importance to the field of constitutional political economy.
Islamic Economics: New Economic Paradigm, or Political Agenda?
Authors: Šrámek Ondřej
Published: June 2024

The concept of Islamic economics emerged during the decolonization process in Muslim countries. Its creators sought a new economic paradigm reshaped along Islamic principles in an attempt to clearly distance the newly independent countries from their colonial legacy. The whole concept was strongly politically motivated since its very creation and this legacy has never been overcome. This paper outlines the ideological foundations of Islamic economics and its underlying theoretical principles focusing on Islamic banking, undoubtedly the most developed segment of Islamic economics. The empirical analysis of Islamic banking across Muslim countries in the last decade, however, reveals a major general discrepancy between the claims and the reality as well as some interesting regional differences. It turns out Islamic banking does not stand up to its own claims and even more so in those countries where Islamization of economy was imposed by the government. The reasons behind such discrepancy are identified, and influence of political agenda on Islamic finance is suggested as the driver behind the whole concept.

Accumulated Savings, Rate of Interest and Rate of Profit in a Free Market Economy
Authors: Ninov Youliy
Published: June 2024

The existence of a macroeconomic fund of accumulated savings in an economy will be justified. It will be shown how this fund can repetitively be used for investment purposes. The rate of interest will be defined as the return on that part of the accumulated savings that has been lent. It will be shown why this rate is a dependent variable, directly determined by the rate of profit and how both rates are not and can not be the same. The rate of profit itself will be directly related to the structure of the economy chosen by the economic agents.

This research will discuss the community's efforts in maintaining the heritage of the ancestors given, namely the Lahbako dance. Lahbako dance is a typical Jember dance, where this dance exists to show a series of tobacco processing from planting to packaging tobacco.  This arian can be said to be a tradition that is carried out every time tobacco planting and has become one of the icons of the city of Jember. It is well known that technological development has been increasingly rapid, and young people are starting to be reluctant to learn or just find out what has become the history of their own nation. The existence of the Lahbako dance which used to be a tradition during the harvest season, is now also used as a tourist attraction, so it can be said that there is a shift in cultural functions. Therefore, efforts are needed to introduce all groups, especially young people so that they can continue to preserve or innovate the culture. In this study we use Robert K. Merton's theory of Structural Functionalism, which emphasizes the need to understand the many functions associated with society, in order to maintain the social structure in society. The functions in question are dysfunction, latent function, and manifest function. In this research using qualitative research methods, with an ethnographic approach.

The main purpose of this research was to assess the self-concept and the results of the academic performance of the students of one of the six educational programs of the Faculty. The two categories were compared in order to know their characteristics and to check if there were relationships between the different dimensions of self-concept and the academic results achieved by the students of the Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education and Sports, which was the first educational program to be studied. Theoretical level methods such as the historical-logical were used to determine the trajectories of the students within the educational program and the Faculty. Scientific methods such as analysis and synthesis were applied, which were used to evaluate the different categories or dimensions of self-concept and to establish their similarities and differences. The inductive-deductive method was used to conform several parts of the final research report and at the empirical level, the document analysis method was used to consult texts and documents. The survey technique was used to obtain the research data. We worked with the SPSS system for the statistics process. The results of the work favor the design and development of didactic strategies that link the results of the self-concept of each group with the ability to study in order to improve the students' grades in the subjects they will have to take in subsequent semesters. The contribution of research is strong because it allows for the improvement of the educational work carried out by teachers.

Linguistic skills are fundamental in the communicative process, which is why it is necessary for this process to be fully developed within the classroom in order to achieve meaningful learning in the student. Therefore, the objective of this research is to strengthen linguistic skills in the area of Language and Literature, from an innovative perspective that aligns with the new challenges of today's education. This study focused on a non-experimental, cross-sectional research design with a mixed epistemological approach. Data was collected through a physical Likert scale survey administered to students in the Middle Basic sublevel, and descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. The results revealed that activities aligned with speaking, listening, and writing skills were effectively implemented, but there was a deficiency in reading skills due to a lack of application of innovative techniques and resources that promote confidence and development in the classroom. In conclusion, the proposal suggests the use of a gamified didactic strategy to address this issue from a playful and constructive perspective, aiming to achieve better results in the teaching-learning process.

The impact of the trial contract and its negative labor consequences, such as unemployment, leaving families without livelihood, is alarming since it is true that our Labor Code in its article 15 establishes that the trial period with a maximum temporary period of 90 days, this is a figure that ignores and does not protect the inherent and intangible principles and rights of workers. The same ones that are duly delimited in the Ecuadorian Constitution, since unilaterally the employer will terminate the employment relationship and in this case the workers will not be able to claim any economic stipend, unlike other contracts such as the indefinite one that if the employer terminates the employment relationship, an untimely dismissal is configured and in this way the worker would not be losing several rights as with a trial contract. It is then proposed, as a general objective: Analyze how test contracts do not generate job stability, thus violating labor principles, which is achieved through a qualitative methodological approach and methods such as analytical-synthetic, historical-logical and inductive.

The international protection of the rights of migrant workers and their migratory status is a crucial issue in the current global context. Migrant workers face numerous challenges and vulnerabilities due to their cross-border mobility, making them more susceptible to exploitation and discrimination in the workplace. To address this issue, the international community has established a legal framework aimed at safeguarding the rights of migrant workers. Instruments such as the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, adopted in 1990, recognize the basic human rights of these workers, regardless of their migratory status. Achieving more effective protection requires promoting closer international cooperation and fostering dialogue among countries of origin, transit, and destination. Additionally, addressing the underlying causes of migration and improving legal pathways for labor migration are crucial steps in ensuring that the human rights of migrant workers are respected and protected at all levels.
