Authors: Pratiwi Yulia , Numan Ibrahim , Idham Noor Cholis
Published: November 2024

The architecture and space in traditional Javanese mosques are synchronized with previous religions and cultures. Islamization takes the form of synchronization, acculturation, syncretism, adaptation and adoption by Traditional Javanese Mosques of animistic beliefs, dynamism, Hindu Buddhism, and Javanese culture. This research is unique because it compares traditional Javanese mosques with Hindu Buddhist buildings in the form of temples. This research aims to examine the synchronization of animism, dynamism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Javanese towards the architecture and space of traditional Javanese mosques in three elements. The first element is spatial systems such as land use and vegetation. The second element is the physical system which includes building form and massing, roof, and gate. The last element is the stylistic system, especially for outdoor ornaments. The research method used compares Hindu Buddhist buildings and artifacts in Indonesia and traditional Javanese mosques. The conclusions are there are a synchronization of spatial elements in vegetation, synchronizations of physical elements in roofs and gates, and synchronizations of stylistic elements in the gate ornaments synchronized from Kala to floral motifs.

Published: November 2024

Short-term accommodations created to meet the needs of passengers in transit are known as transit hotels. The purpose of this study is to examine the necessary interior facilities for Indonesian transit hotels, with a focus on supporting and priority facilities. Three transit hotels situated in airports, train stations, and rest places along highways were the subject of semi-structured interviews and observations as part of a qualitative descriptive method. Qualitative analysis was performed on the gathered data, which included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that depending on the location and length of the trip, different facilities are needed in transit hotels. All transit hotels must have priority facilities such as lobbies, reception areas, waiting lounges, and beds. On the other hand, supplementary facilities such as restaurants, fitness centres, prayer rooms, smoking areas, meeting spaces, locker rentals, and spas can be customized to fulfil the demands of users. In the end, this study offers helpful recommendations for the successful and efficient design of transit facilities for hotels, improving the transit experience for visitors to Indonesia.
Exploring the Application of Restorative Environment Design in Coastal Area
Authors: Kirana Syahnas Nevysilia , Sunarya Wendy
Published: November 2024

The coastal ecosystem provides biodiversity that is attractive for exploration and essential to support global life systems. However, these areas have become increasingly vulnerable due to climate change and human activities. Therefore, infrastructure development in coastal regions must prioritize sustainable practices to protect these ecosystems. This paper explores the potential of Restorative Environment Design (RED) in coastal zones, synthesizing fundamental principles from Attention Restoration Theory (ART), sustainable coastal infrastructure management, and multisensory human experiences in coastal environments. The study develops a design framework integrating three dimensions: (1) Identifying coastal management strategies, including habitat restoration, soft engineering, and eco-engineering; (2) Assessing multisensory properties and experiences of coastal zones; and (3) Applying the core components of restorative environments, including being away, fascination, extent, and compatibility. This study also presents a conceptual model for RED implementation in coastal zones based on the proposed design framework. The conceptual model illustrates how zoning strategies, guided by fundamental principles, can address ecological restoration while enhancing human well-being through restorative design. The results of this study ultimately provide insights for designing coastal spaces that promote mental recovery, community engagement, and long-term ecological sustainability.
META-REFLEXÕES SOBRE O(S) MÉTODO(S) TEOLÓGICO(S)
Authors: Duque João Manuel
Published: November 2024

O artigo propõe-se pensar alguns dos pressupostos filosóficos e epistemológicos dos diversos métodos teológicos, na discussão crítica de certas configurações habituais. A discussão de certos conceitos tradicionais, com base numa relação circular entre Teologia e Antropologia leva, em primeiro lugar, a uma compreensão alargada das dinâmicas do "crer", não redutíveis ao campo teológico. A partir desse pressuposto, entra-se na discussão do eventual antropocentrismo dos métodos teológicos tradicionais, em paralelo com os das Ciências Humanas. É a partir dessa crítica que se perspetivam outros horizontes epistemológicos, no interior do atual trabalho científico, no qual se insere a Teologia. Da discussão resultam desafios para uma epistemologia e uma metodologia plurais, não só no campo do quotidiano humano, mas também na relação cada vez mais complexa entre o humano e o não-humano.

EPISTEMOLOGY IN COMPARATIVE THEOLOGY
Authors: Cornille Catherine
Published: November 2024

Comparative theology involves the systematic theological engagement with the teachings and practices of another religious tradition. This raises numerous epistemological questions, which may focus on the possibility of genuine understanding of other religions, on the status of truth in other religions, on the process of discernment of truth in those religions, and on the changes occurring in the contents of teachings and practices when transposed from one religious tradition into another. Addressing these questions requires engagement with the methods and approaches of religious studies, theology of religions, as well as critical engagement with examples of comparative theology. This article touches upon these questions by focusing on developments within Christian comparative theology.

CONVERGING HERMENEUTICAL CURRENTS: EXPLORING A SUBALTERN THEOLOGICAL METHODOLOGY IN INDIA
Authors: Wilfred Felix
Published: November 2024

The article is an attempt to explore how a convergence of Eastern and Western hermeneutical traditions could help develop a theological methodology focused on the cause of the subalterns in India. With this intent, it tries to point out the intersection and resonance between the traditional “dhvani” method of interpretation and some of the contemporary Western hermeneutical currents. With reference to Indian tradition, the article highlights how the art of interpretation not only follows the text but is involved also in the creation of a plurality of texts. The freedom from textual essentialism, which the Indian hermeneutical tradition embodies, allows a lot of space for the subalterns not only to interpret texts from their standpoints but also create new ones, leading to a liberative hermeneutics. In this context, the article studies the convergence of structural and post-structural hermeneutics with classical Indian hermeneutical currents and how they can help the cause of the subalterns and the articulation of a theology from their perspective.

CLAUDE GEFFRÉ E A EPISTEMOLOGIA. UMA CONTRIBUIÇÃO À TEOLOGIA LATINO-AMERICANA
Authors: Almeida André Luiz Boccato de , José Xavier Donizete
Published: November 2024

O artigo parte do pensamento teológico e epistemológico de Claude Geffré, destacando a sua contribuição para a Teologia Latino-americana. Pretende-se salientar que a hermenêutica é uma dimensão estruturante do fazer teológico, e que inúmeros elementos e dinamismos no contexto da fé precisam ser interpretados de acordo com o contexto em que é recebido. Toda Teologia é sempre hermenêutica à medida que passa por processos de acolhida, recepção e aceitação em uma comunidade de fé. A Teologia Latino-americana nasce enquanto interpelação e interpretação que articula o evangelho e a realidade social. Assim, há uma interlocução entre o modo de se fazer Teologia – metodologia e Epistemologia – de Geffré e a Latino-americana. Neste artigo, será destacada esta relação teológica, apresentando as implicações do seu pensamento e a relação com a Tradição Latino-americana.

Authors: Merlo Pinzón Jairo Alberto , Orrego Echeverria Israel Arturo , Cepeda H Juan , Cardenas Arias Julián
Published: November 2024

La categoría “signos de los tiempos” es una expresión reciente en el magisterio de la Iglesia Católica, aunque tiene su génesis el tratamiento veterotestamentario del tiempo y en la mención explícita que hace de este término Jesús de Nazareth. No obstante, su uso no ha gozado de una suficiente reflexión teológica y, por tal motivo, puede presentar diversas dificultades interpretativas y repercusiones pastorales. La presente reflexión intenta exponer desde un análisis bíblico y magisterial algunos elementos mínimos necesarios para continuar con su problematización teológica y eclesial.

DISCERNIR EN COMUNIDAD EL DESEO DE DIOS: ANÁLISIS DESDE LA ANTROPOLOGÍA, LA BIBLIA, SAN IGNACIO Y EL MAGISTERIO DEL P. FRANCISCO
Authors: Barahona Plaza Ángel , Viñado Oteo Fernando
Published: November 2024

La epistemología teológica se ocupa de cómo conocemos a Dios y cómo adquirimos conocimiento sobre lo divino. El discernimiento es una parte integral de este proceso epistemológico, ya que implica la capacidad de discernir la voluntad y el deseo de Dios a través de la revelación divina. El discernimiento que proponemos en este artículo se adentra en lo más profundo del ser humano, ahí donde habitan sus anhelos de felicidad y plenitud. Los modelos que se nos presentan en el mundo actual se forjan mediante la mímesis y se tornan insuficientes pues no alcanzan a llenar de sentido. Discernir no es reflexionar sobre las razones de éxito o fracaso de una determinada decisión. Discernir es abrazar la fraternidad que nace del seno de la comunidad como fuente de identidad, espacio para sanar las heridas, escuchar el deseo de Dios y responder a su llamada.

HACIA UNA HERMENÉUTICA TEOLÓGICA DE LA INMORTALIDAD
Authors: Ñahuincopa  Arango Antonio
Published: November 2024

El trabajo de investigación aborda cuestiones fundamentales relacionadas con la inmortalidad del alma desde una perspectiva teológica, en el contexto de la relación entre la fe y la razón. A través de un análisis del aporte filosófico, la Sagrada Escritura y los escritos de los Santos Padres, así como las enseñanzas del Magisterio, el Catecismo de la Iglesia y las contribuciones de algunos teólogos contemporáneos, se busca ofrecer una visión integral del tema. Se argumenta que la inmortalidad no es una invención helénica, sino que también tiene fundamentos en la Biblia y la tradición cristiana. Se considera que la resurrección es un aporte significativo de la Revelación, y junto con la inmortalidad, constituyen conceptos complementarios. Negar la veracidad de la resurrección dificulta sustentar la inmortalidad, la cual es imperfecta sin el cuerpo. La unión de ambos coprincipios refleja una perfección divina, acercando al hombre a la imagen de Dios.

Challenges and Potentials for “Supporting Supporters” on Education: A Practical and Rapid Case Study of the Centralized Information Portal Site in the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake
Authors: Saito Ryo , Oda Takashi , Sakurai Aiko , Sato Takeshi , Fukushima Yo
Published: November 2024

The 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, which struck on January 1 during Japan’s holiday season, may have led to some delays in response efforts. It is important to acknowledge that many individuals likely responded promptly, and this statement is not intended to criticize the responses of various parties. Another significant challenge was how regions outside the affected area could effectively support those impacted, especially in terms of school education soon after the disaster. This study provides a preliminary report on a school education support project initiated in response to the earthquake. The primary focus is on the centralized information portal site launched on January 3, designed for “supporting supporters.” Additionally, the study covers the rapid response meeting held on January 9 and the report meeting on May 8, both at the International Research Institute of Disaster Science, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. These initiatives aim to address and summarize current challenges and outline future directions for schools in Ishikawa Prefecture and across Japan. We hope that this study will contribute to recovery and reconstruction efforts in Ishikawa Prefecture and enhance resilient school education worldwide.

Authors: Maly Elizabeth , Saito Ryo , Gerster Julia , Chiba Naomi
Published: November 2024

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster (3.11) of March 11, 2011, the use of various media to convey disaster experiences and lessons grew, including a large number of 3.11 picture books. However, there has been limited scholarship on these books, and no comprehensive database of 3.11 picture books exists. This research conducted an comprehensive inventory of 3.11 picture books published in the 13 years after the disaster, until March 2024. 122 titles met the criteria of being picture books with stories related to the 3.11 disasters, and an initial survey identified general trends in their publication over time and by publication type. Through investigating themes and contents, the authors identified six primary narrative typological categories: (1) disaster impact stories, that focus on telling what happened; (2) disaster risk reduction action or evacuation stories; (3) stories of local pride (place attachment); (4) stories with hopeful or positive messages for the future; (5) stories of loss; and (6) stories about nature and animals. As initial research, this paper represents a unique contribution to the growing body of literature on disaster storytelling media and clarifies the characteristics of 3.11 picture books as a body of work. Building on this comprehensive inventory and thematical categorization of 3.11 picture books, the authors expect future research to further analyze the text and image contents of these books, leading to deeper understanding of the contributions of 3.11 picture books towards not only emotional care, but also raising disaster awareness.

Authors: Bai Pengfei , Xue Fangming , Duan Qianqian , La Ruifang , Liu Jia
Published: November 2024

Geological disasters in China have caused enormous damage to humans and the economy. The Chinese government has made significant efforts to mitigate geological disasters. Usually, the efficiency of disaster emergency response holds top priority. In this study, we considered the historical analysis of China’s geological disaster emergency response as the primary line and developed a slacks-based measure data envelopment analysis model to evaluate the performance of 18 geological disasters reliefs during 2015–2019 in China. This model is used to examine the performance of the geological disaster emergency response activities. The results indicate that although the capabilities of geo-disaster relief have continuously improved from 2015 to 2019, China’s geological disaster emergency response system remains in its primary stage. In particular, the efficiency of landslide emergency response operations is low. We analyzed the factors influencing efficiency and provided several suggestions for capacity improvement in geo-disaster emergency responses.

Authors: Shao Chun-Hao , Hsu Chun-Wei
Published: November 2024

The increasing adoption of public transport, especially metros, has facilitated the need for efficient transport management. This, in turn, has resulted in a radical movement of people via metro stations. The recent advances in mass-rapid transportation may be attributed to the urgent demand for efficient ways to perform evacuations when disasters arise. This study provides specific suggestions for seamless evacuation to improve security in metro stations in the case of disasters by simulating an evacuation at the A18 Station of Taoyuan Metro using the buildingEXODUS software. We specifically focus on ensuring the safety of people during evacuation and avoiding stampedes. After a thorough analysis of various literature, we suggest efficient management of direction lighting in payment gates and the emergency exit on the 3rd platform floor of the station. The outcomes and findings of the research can help implement smooth and efficient evacuation of people in the Taoyuan HSR Station in the cases of disasters in the forthcoming years.

GREEN SUSTAINABILITY AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF HALAL FOOD COMPANIES: EVIDENCE OF MALAYSIA
Authors: Rahman Md Mahfujur , Ahmad Zaki , Mokal Mahvish Nawaz , Aziz Muhamad Fikri , Khotib Nor Aina Mohd
Published: November 2024

With growing concerns about environmental degradation and its impact on global ecosystems, the Halal food industry is facing increasing scrutiny and pressure to adopt sustainable practices. This research examines the relationship between green sustainability and the financial performance of Halal food companies in Malaysia. Applying a dynamic panel modelling to a sample of 75 companies over 10 years, we document diverse effects of sustainable practices on firms’ financial performance. More specifically, we note that efficient material usage is positively associated with both Return on Assets (ROA) and Tobin's Q (TBQ). Likewise, by reducing costs and enhancing the company's public image, effective emission management boosts both ROA and TBQ. However, energy-related initiatives negatively impact both ROA and TBQ.  Biodiversity efforts, although costly in the short term, contribute to improved long-term market valuation. In a similar vein, while its decreases short-term profitability, environmental sustainability positively influences market valuation. Finally, water management initiatives often lead to decreased ROA and TBQ, which possibly is related to their high costs.  From the results, policymakers should support efficient material usage and emission management through incentives to enhance profitability and market valuation. Additionally, they should consider providing financial assistance for biodiversity and environmental compliance initiatives while evaluating ways to mitigate the high costs associated with energy and water management to ensure sustainable industry growth.
CORPORATE SOCIAL PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL STABILITY: EVIDENCE FROM ISLAMIC, SOCIAL AND CONVENTIONAL BANKING MODELS
Authors: Ramlee Roslily , Mohamed Sultan Syed Alwi , Wan Ahmad Wan Marhaini , Ismath Bacha Obiyathulla
Published: November 2024

This paper addresses two key issues in Corporate Social Performance (CSP) research. First, it investigates the impact of CSP on Financial Stability (FS), and second, it examines the influence of different banking models on the relationship between CSP and FS. Using a cross-country sample of 117 financial institutions from 36 countries over an 8-year period (2013-2020) and the System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimation method, it finds that banking models significantly affect the CSP-FS relationship. This is attributed to diminishing marginal benefits of economic growth beyond a certain level of financial intermediation, which increases financial risk. The results give new insights into the synergies and divergences between different banking models and the overarching goals of social performance and financial stability. This research contributes novel insights that can inform policymakers, regulators, and industry stakeholders in their quest for a more resilient and sustainable banking sector.
Maqāṣid Al-Syarī’ah Analysis of the Implementation of Food Social Assistance on Multidimensional Welfare in Indonesia (2020-2023)
Authors: Risdayani Risdayani , Isman Isman , Hidayat Syamsul , Yanuri Yusuf Rohmat
Published: November 2024

This research project aims to analyze the effectiveness of food social assistance regulations in Indonesia on multidimensional welfare from the perspective of maqāṣid al-syarī’ah. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The quantitative methods include linear regression tests, while the qualitative methods comprise qualitative descriptive analysis. The findings of this research indicate that the food social assistance program, implemented from 2020 to 2023, had a negligible impact on multidimensional welfare indicators in Indonesia, including the unemployment rate, poverty, and the human development index. While the relationship between food social assistance and the Human Development Index (HDI) is relatively weak, there are indications that adequate food access can improve people's nutrition and health. When viewed through the lens of maqāṣid al-syarī’ah, which prioritizes the pursuit of beneficial outcomes, the implementation of food social assistance aligns with the principles of maqāṣid al-syarī’ah, namely the preservation of religion (hifdz al-dīn), the preservation of the soul (hifdz al-nafs), the preservation of reason (hifdz al-’aql), the preservation of property (hifdz al-māl), and the preservation of offspring (hifdz al-nasl). It is hoped that this research will provide guidance for the government in improving food social assistance and other policies for the benefit of the community in line with maqāṣid al-syarī’ah.
Settlement of Remaining Financing Due to Rejected Insurance Claims from the Perspective of POJK Number 69/POJK.05/2016 (Case Study at BPRS Puduarta Insani Medan)
Authors: Siregar Hotma Sari , Zahara Fatimah
Published: November 2024

Insurance constitutes a risk transfer mechanism or a contractual agreement among multiple parties, wherein the insurer obligates itself to the insured by accepting a premium in exchange for compensation related to losses, damages, or anticipated profit losses. This research aims to identify the factors contributing to customer claim failures and to understand the resolution of issues faced by customers at BPRS Puduarta Insani Medan. The text subsequently details the resolution of the outstanding insurance claim payment financing that was denied at BPRS Puduarta Insani Medan, analyzed in accordance with POJK Number 69/POJK.05/2016. The author utilizes the empirical legal research method in this study, incorporating data collection techniques including direct interviews and observation within the company. This is subsequently presented as descriptive report. The customer's claim was unsuccessful due to their failure to comply with the pertinent legal provisions. BPRS Puduarta Insani Medan discovered that the customer had acted dishonestly by concealing their ailment from the bank when insuring themselves as a customer. The customer's claim failure at BPRS Puduarta Insani Medan was resolved as a consequence of data manipulation disguised as a health history letter. As a result, the bank and the heirs achieved an agreement that the payment would continue and be settled by the heirs, as it was not regulated in the agreement regarding the customer's demise. POJK Number 69/POJK.05/2016 has established a comprehensive framework for safeguarding the interests of financing companies and the heirs of customers when navigating delicate and intricate circumstances, such as the passing of a debtor. Heirs should carefully examine the financing agreement and the relevant insurance policy to confirm their obligations and rights in these circumstances.

Dengue fever (DF) is a mosquito-borne viral infection that has recently become a burden worldwide, particularly in low-income countries, such as Yemen. There have been no epidemiological studies on dengue fever in recent years in Yemen. Therefore, based on secondary data, this study aimed to shed light on the epidemiology of dengue fever in Yemen between 2020 and 2024.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis using secondary data recorded between January 2020 and August 2024 in the Surveillance Center of the Ministry of Health and Population in Aden. The data was gathered in a Microsoft Excel file and statistically analyzed.
Results: A total of 104562 dengue cases were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. A higher proportion of DF was recorded in males (58.10%), the age group of 15–24 years (26.11%), in 2020 (30.65%), the Taiz governorate (39.17%), and in the autumn (28.9%). The total incidence of DF was 103.09 per 10,000 individuals. In addition, the highest rate was observed among males (118.3), aged 25–34 years (91.73), in 2020 (31.39), and in the Shabwah governorate (176.96). In general, the total fatality rate was 217 (0.21%), with a high rate among females (0.23%), aged ≥ 65 years (0.75%), in 2020 (0.37%), and the Aden governorate (0.82%).
Conclusion: These findings indicate that the number of dengue fever cases has increased in Yemen over the last few years. Therefore, it is critical to implement an effective program to prevent and control dengue vector transmission in Yemen.

The purposes of this qualitative inquiry were to explore EFL learners’ challenges in online speaking and their strategies in overcoming the challenges. To collect the data, we employed semi-structured interviews and audio diary to 12 EFL learners who voluntarily participated in our study. Based on data analysis, we identified four interrelated themes and sub-themes about EFL learners’ challenges in online speaking classes, such as 1) internet and technology related issues (poor connection and lack of technological knowledge); 2) linguistics issues (limited vocabulary, lack of grammatical knowledge, fluency problem, and pronunciation problem); 3) psychological issues (anxiety, low motivation and insecure); and 4 learning proponents (lack of topical knowledge and unsupportive peers). To overcome those encountered challenges, EFL learners used several strategies, including 1) Self-management (self-practice and being well-prepared); 2) helping from others (asking or having discussion with friends and asking the lecturers); and technological support (taking advantage of entertainment platforms and language applications).
