Authors: Shen Yan , Bian Shuo , Song Xinping , Geng Xia
Published: February 2024

The integrated development of social media makes enterprise public opinion spread across multiple social platforms. The safety of enterprise public opinion affects the sustainability of enterprise development and social stability. The risk assessment of enterprise public opinion in a cross social media context and sustainable strategies is researched to help enterprises and governments better regulate enterprise public opinion and improve their ability to respond to public opinion. We established an enterprise public opinion risk assessment index system in a cross social media context, and an enterprise public opinion risk assessment model was established by using a combination of the entropy method, TOPSIS, grey relational analysis and Fuzzy C-means method. The research results show that, compared with the context of single social media, the analysis of enterprise public opinion in a cross social media context is more comprehensive and accurate. The risk assessment model of enterprise public opinion proposed in our research is more suitable for the judgment of enterprise public opinion in a cross social media context and can comprehensively and accurately grasp the situation of enterprise public opinion. The management significance of public opinion risk management for the sustainable development of enterprises is also discussed.

Published: February 2024

Screening remediation technologies through the lens of green, low-carbon, and sustainable development is crucial for contaminated land management. To better understand the applicability of remediation technologies, this paper explored their application in China based on a survey of 643 cases. By employing coupled analysis and local spatial autocorrelation methods, this study reveals the alignment between remediation technologies and pollutants, along with their spatial distribution and clustering patterns. Specifically, the four primary remediation technologies identified were cement kiln co-processing (CKCP), chemical oxidation/reduction (CO/CR), thermal desorption (TR), and solidification and stabilization (S/S), collectively accounting for over 90% of the cases. Additionally, our findings indicated significant variation in how different pollutants respond to remediation technologies, largely attributable to the characteristics of the pollutants. We observed High–High clustering patterns for CKCP, CO/CR, TR, and S/S. These were predominantly found in Jiangsu, Chongqing, Shandong, and Guizhou for CKCP and CO/CR and in Hebei, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Chongqing for CO/CR. TR exhibited a High–High clustering in Shanghai, as did S/S. This research contributes to reducing the economic and resource costs associated with the trial-and-error of screening contaminated soil remediation technologies, offering valuable scientific and technological guidance for contaminated land regulation.

Authors: Zhang Xifeng , Cui Xiaowei , Liang Shuiming
Published: February 2024

Under the background of climate change, the problems of water resource allocation and desertification in arid areas are becoming increasingly prominent, which seriously threatens the sustainable development of society. Constructing an ecological network is an important measure to improve the ecological environment and maintain ecological service function. This study takes the Hexi Corridor as an example and relies on land use data from 2000 to 2020, and comprehensively applies methods, such as morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA), the minimum cumulative resistance model (MCR), and the network evaluation index to construct and optimize the ecological network of the Hexi Corridor. Our results show: (1) the spatial distribution of the landscape elements in the Hexi Corridor was not uniform and that the ecological foundation in the north was poor; (2) the resistance surface was “low in the south and high in the north”, with low-value areas mainly located to the south of Jiuquan City, Zhangye City, and Wuwei City, and the high-value areas were mainly located in the middle and to the north of Jiuquan City and Wuwei City; (3) the ecological source areas, corridors, and nodes showed a fluctuating upward trend, and they were mainly located to the southwest of Zhangye City, Jiuquan City, and Wuwei City; (4) the network closure (α), line point rate (β), and network connectivity (γ) showed a W-shaped change trend; (5) after the ecological network optimization, 22 new ecological source areas, 78 new corridors, and 61 new nodes were added, as a result, the α, β, and γ indices all increased. Our results provide a reference for ecological environment restoration research and serve as a regionally balanced means of sustainably developing the Hexi Corridor.
Short-Term Photovoltaic Power Prediction Using Nonlinear Spiking Neural P Systems
Authors: Gao Yunzhu , Wang Jun , Guo Lin , Peng Hong
Published: February 2024

To ensure high-quality electricity, improve the dependability of power systems, reduce carbon emissions, and promote the sustainable development of clean energy, short-term photovoltaic (PV) power prediction is crucial. However, PV power is highly stochastic and volatile, making accurate predictions of PV power very difficult. To address this challenging prediction problem, in this paper, a novel method to predict the short-term PV power using a nonlinear spiking neural P system-based ESN model has been proposed. First, we combine a nonlinear spiking neural P (NSNP) system with a neural-like computational model, enabling it to effectively capture the complex nonlinear trends in PV sequences. Furthermore, an NSNP system featuring a layer is designed. Input weights and NSNP reservoir weights are randomly initialized in the proposed model, while the output weights are trained by the Ridge Regression algorithm, which is motivated by the learning mechanism of echo state networks (ESNs), providing the model with an adaptability to complex nonlinear trends in PV sequences and granting it greater flexibility. Three case studies are conducted on real datasets from Alice Springs, Australia, comparing the proposed model with 11 baseline models. The outcomes of the experiments exhibit that the model performs well in tasks of PV power prediction.

Authors: Chen Yinhai , Chen Xiurong , Lin Wenchi , Chen Jinghong , Zhu Yuejun , Guo Zhanghong
Published: February 2024

In this study, 245 representative samples of aquatic products were selected from local markets in Shenzhen by stochastic sampling. The samples comprised eight species and fell into three aquatic product categories: fish, crustaceans, and bivalves. A total of eight BPs were determined by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, namely, bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol AF (BPAF), bisphenol AP (BPAP), bisphenol B (BPB), bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol P (BPP), bisphenol Z (BPZ), and bisphenol F (BPF). All BPs were detected in aquatic products, except for BPAF, indicating pervasive contamination by BPs in aquatic products. BPS demonstrated the highest detection rate both before and after enzymatic hydrolysis, whereas BPAP exhibited the lowest detection rate before enzymatic hydrolysis and BPB displayed the lowest detection rate after enzymatic hydrolysis. The concentration difference before and after enzymatic hydrolysis proved to be statistically significant. Moreover, 49–96% of BPs in aquatic products were found in the combined state, underscoring the essentiality of conducting detections on aquatic product samples following enzymatic hydrolysis. While the health risks associated with ingesting BPs residues through aquatic product consumption were found to be minimal for residents at risk of exposure, the results suggest the necessity for more stringent regulations governing the consumption of aquatic products.
Serum Phenylacetylglutamine among Potential Risk Factors for Arterial Stiffness Measuring by Carotid–Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity in Patients with Kidney Transplantation
Authors: Yang Hsiao-Hui , Chen Yen-Cheng , Ho Ching-Chun , Hsu Bang-Gee
Published: February 2024

Phenylacetylglutamine (PAG), a gut microbiota metabolite, is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Arterial stiffness (AS), which is a marker of aging-associated vascular diseases, is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess the correlation between serum PAG levels and AS in kidney transplantation (KT) patients, potentially uncovering new insights into the cardiovascular risks in this population. In this study, 100 KT patients were included. Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) was measured, and patients with cfPWV > 10 m/s were categorized as the AS group. Serum PAG levels were assessed using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Thirty KT patients (30.0%) exhibited AS, with higher percentages of diabetes mellitus, older age, and elevated levels of systolic blood pressure, serum fasting glucose, and PAG than the control group. After adjusting for factors significantly associated with AS by multivariate logistic regression analysis, serum PAG, age, fasting glucose levels, and systolic blood pressure were independent factors associated with AS. Furthermore, PAG levels had a negative correlation with the estimated glomerular filtration rate and a positive correlation with cfPWV values. Serum PAG levels are positively associated with cfPWV values and are a biomarker of AS in KT patients.
Identification and Genomic Characterization of Bovine Boosepivirus A in the United States and Canada
Authors: Savard Christian , Wang Leyi
Published: February 2024

Boosepivirus is a new genus in the Picornaviridae family. Boosepiviruses (BooVs) are genetically classified into three species: A, B, and C. Initially, Boosepivirus A and B were identified in cattle, whereas Boosepivirus C was detected in sheep. Recent evidence showed that Boosepivirus B was detected in sheep and Boosepivirus C was identified in goats, suggesting that Boosepvirus might cross the species barrier to infect different hosts. Different from BooV B, BooV A is less studied. In the present study, we reported identification of two North American BooV A strains from cattle. Genomic characterization revealed that US IL33712 (GenBank accession #PP035161) and Canada 1087562 (GenBank accession #PP035162) BooV A strains are distantly related to each other, and US IL33712 is more closely correlated to two Asian BooV A strains. US-strain-specific insertions, NorthAmerican-strain-specific insertions, and species A-specific insertions are observed and could contribute to viral pathogenicity and host adaptation. Our findings highlight the importance of continued surveillance of BooV A in animals.
Beneficial and Detrimental Effects of Cytokines during Influenza and COVID-19
Authors: Chang De , Dela Cruz Charles , Sharma Lokesh
Published: February 2024

Cytokines are signaling molecules that play a role in myriad processes, including those occurring during diseases and homeostasis. Their homeostatic function begins during embryogenesis and persists throughout life, including appropriate signaling for the cell and organism death. During viral infections, antiviral cytokines such as interferons and inflammatory cytokines are upregulated. Despite the well-known benefits of these cytokines, their levels often correlate with disease severity, linking them to unfavorable outcomes. In this review, we discuss both the beneficial and pathological functions of cytokines and the potential challenges in separating these two roles. Further, we discuss challenges in targeting these cytokines during disease and propose a new method for quantifying the cytokine effect to limit the pathological consequences while preserving their beneficial effects.

Published: February 2024

HIV-exposed, uninfected (HEU) children present with suboptimal growth and a greater susceptibility to infection in early life when compared to HIV-unexposed, uninfected (HUU) children. The reasons for these findings are poorly understood. We used a metabolomics approach to investigate the metabolic differences between pregnant women living with HIV (PWLWH) and their HEU infants compared to the uninfected and unexposed controls. Untargeted metabolomic profiling was performed using 1H-NMR spectroscopy on maternal plasma at 28 weeks’ gestation and infant plasma at birth, 6/10 weeks, and 6 months. PWLWH were older but, apart from a larger 28 week mid-upper-arm circumference, anthropometrically similar to the controls. At all the time points, HEU infants had a significantly reduced growth compared to HUU infants. PWLWH had lower plasma 3-hydroxybutyric acid, acetoacetic acid, and acetic acid levels. In infants at birth, threonine and myo-inositol levels were lower in the HEU group while formic acid levels were higher. At 6/10 weeks, betaine and tyrosine levels were lower in the HEU group. Finally, at six months, 3-hydroxyisobutyric acid levels were lower while glycine levels were higher in the HEU infants. The NMR analysis has provided preliminary information indicating differences between HEU and HUU infants’ plasma metabolites involved in energy utilization, growth, and protection from infection.

Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), the most widespread tick-borne viral human infection, poses a threat to global health. In this study, clinical samples collected through national surveillance systems were screened for acute CCHF virus (CCHFV) infection using RT-PCR and for exposure using ELISA. For any CCHF-positive sample, livestock and tick samples were also collected in the neighborhood of the confirmed case and tested using ELISA and RT-PCR, respectively. Genome sequencing and phylogenetic analyses were also performed on samples with positive RT-PCR results. In Eastern Senegal, two human cases and one Hyalomma tick positive for CCHF were identified and a seroprevalence in livestock ranging from 9.33% to 45.26% was detected. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that the human strain belonged to genotype I based on the available L segment. However, the tick strain showed a reassortant profile, with the L and M segments belonging to genotype I and the S segment belonging to genotype III. Our data also showed that our strains clustered with strains isolated in different countries, including Mauritania. Therefore, our findings confirmed the high genetic variability inside the CCHF genotypes and their introduction to Senegal from other countries. They also indicate an increasing CCHF threat in Senegal and emphasize the need to reinforce surveillance using a one-health approach.
DISTRIBUTION OF ZAKAT FUNDS TO VICTIMS OF NATURAL DISASTERS SYAFI'IYAH MAZHAB PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Rahwan Rahwan , Zukin Ach.
Published: February 2024

This paper focuses on discussing zakat assets. The discussion taken is the review of the Syafi'iyah scholars regarding the legal status of distributing zakat assets to disaster victims and the legal status of using zakat assets for home renovation and business capital. Discussing the problem of distributing zakat to disaster victims will not be separated from the theory of zakat itself. Because to know the legal status, we also have to know which category the mustahik fall into, which are the victims of the disaster, they are entitled to receive zakat assets or not. Not many classic books from the Shafi'i Imams discuss the distribution of zakat assets for disaster victims, but several books discuss this matter. Based on the theory and data obtained, disaster victims are categorized into three mustahik: the indigent, the poor, and the ghorim. However, after being analyzed, what is more, realistic is to include them in the poor category because their situation at that time was very in line with the definition of poor. It indicates that the legal status of the zakat is valid. The second concerns the legal status of using zakat assets for home renovation and business capital. Based on the theory and data collected, the legal use is considered valid because it is under the purpose of zakat, namely eliminating poverty; even zakat funds are very beneficial for the survival of mustahik, not only in the short term and long term.
Tulisan ini fokus membahas harta zakat. Pembahasan yang dilakukan adalah kajian ulama Syafi'iyah mengenai status hukum penyaluran harta zakat korban bencana dan status hukum pemanfaatan harta zakat untuk renovasi rumah dan modal usaha. Membahas masalah pendistribusian zakat kepada korban bencana tidak akan lepas dari teori zakat itu sendiri. Karena untuk mengetahui status hukumnya, kita juga harus mengetahui golongan mustahik yang mana yang menjadi korban bencana, apakah mereka berhak menerima harta zakat atau tidak. Tidak banyak kitab klasik Imam Syafi'i yang membahas tentang pembagian harta zakat untuk korban bencana, namun beberapa kitab membahas hal ini. Berdasarkan teori dan data yang diperoleh, korban bencana dikategorikan menjadi tiga mustahik: fakir, miskin, dan ghorim. Namun setelah dianalisis, yang lebih realistis adalah memasukkan mereka ke dalam kategori miskin karena keadaan mereka saat itu sangat sesuai dengan definisi miskin. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa status hukum zakat itu sah. Kedua menyangkut status hukum penggunaan harta zakat untuk renovasi rumah dan modal usaha. Berdasarkan teori dan data yang terkumpul, penggunaan hukum dianggap sah karena sesuai dengan tujuan zakat, yaitu menghilangkan kemiskinan; bahkan dana zakat sangat bermanfaat bagi kelangsungan hidup mustahik, tidak hanya dalam jangka pendek maupun jangka panjang.

Authors: Sule Muhammad Maga , Maigari Muhammad Abdullahi , Sulaiman Yahaya
Published: February 2024

This paper is a contribution and a piece of Da’wah work towards eradicating syncretic practice and the worship ancestors (Likya) among Eggon Erro people in Eggonland. The study revealed that religious syncretism is common among many Eggon Erro Muslims, but its main contention was that it had a negative influence on a lot of them. If continual awareness and Da'wah could be carried out, the problem will be eradicated. This study was conducted using a survey method, and data were collected through in-depth interviews. The results of this study showed the need for a sustainable Da'wah to combat the issue of syncretism that many Eggon Erro Muslims are into, and their persistent indulgence in syncretic practices and its effects on their faith (Iman). While acknowledging the efforts of some Muslim scholars to end this endemic problem, this study reveals that Tauheed is not well inculcated into the minds of many Eggon Erro Muslims yet. Therefore, for the purpose of effectively instilling practical Tauheed in their minds, a concerted effort is required among all stakeholders in the task of spreading Islamic education in the communities of the Eggon Erro. The paper concluded that educating the youthful population and the elderly through Islamic education would go a long way to eradicate this menace.

Authors: Musthofa M
Published: February 2024

The family is part of the community, a field for preachers to carry out preaching activities. This working paper aims to describe the ethics that must be used when da'wah is carried out in the family environment according to an Islamic perspective. The method used in this research is a literature review by outlining the example of the previous Prophets and Apostles that can be used as a model in building da'wah within the family in the current conditions. Based on the studies conducted, the Prophets and Apostles used the language of the people who were the object of da'wah so that they could understand it. The language in question also has a broad meaning, namely the customs or traditions that apply in society that do not come out of Islamic values ​​, so they accept them easily. Prophet Muhammad SAW. Used Arabic in preaching so that the Arabs quickly understood it. The following model is Prophet Ibrahim, who preached in the family using affection and without coercion. Exemplified in the Qur'an that preaching is an obligation that must be done well and without forcing it because its success is guidance determined by Allah SWT. Likewise, da'wah in the family environment must be carried out with good ethics.
RELIGIOUS SOCIALISM: THE CROSS-POLLINATION OF ISLAMIC SPIRITUALITY AND WESTERN SOCIALISM IN "LIBERATION THEOLOGY" OF DR. ALI SHARI'ATI'S THOUGHT
Authors: Arif Pribadi Dian Topan
Published: February 2024

At the beginning of the XIX century, the world's people entered a new phase of life. But this era gave birth to a more complex and "expensive" social face. The industry is a main form that inundates the community's yard. The spirit of individualism creates a quasi-binary opposition. Strong-weak, rich-poor. One by one, various ideologies emerged as the antithesis of Capitalism, from socialism-communism to democratic socialism. Then came the new idea of the renaissance of religious socialism. Religious socialism has been born since the prophets were sent as caliphs on earth. Learning from the history of the struggle of the saints who sought to liberate the oppressed, religious socialism tries to pave the way for an alternative solution, the fourth path. Ali Shari'ati first used this paradigm when he strongly criticized the two great ideological empires, socialism and capitalism. According to Shari'ati, socialism in Islam can be functionalized into a central view of life philosophy of bringing people to make social changes. In terms of international politics, Ali Shari'ati's Religious Socialism was more closely associated with the political constructs that were taking place in Iran at the time. By using a qualitative approach and making his scattered works and thoughts and expert analysis related to his thoughts the sources in this article.
Di awal abad ke-19, masyarakat dunia memasuki babak baru kehidupan. Namun era ini melahirkan wajah sosial yang lebih kompleks dan “mahal”. Industri merupakan bentuk utama yang menggenangi pekarangan masyarakat. Semangat individualisme menciptakan kuasi-biner oposisi. Kuat-lemah, kaya-miskin. Satu persatu berbagai ideologi muncul sebagai antitesis Kapitalisme, mulai dari sosialisme-komunisme hingga sosialisme demokratik. Kemudian muncul ide baru tentang renaisans sosialisme religius. Sosialisme keagamaan telah lahir sejak para nabi diutus sebagai khalifah di muka bumi. Belajar dari sejarah perjuangan para wali yang berusaha membebaskan kaum tertindas, sosialisme religius mencoba membuka jalan bagi solusi alternatif, jalan keempat. Ali Syari'ati pertama kali menggunakan paradigma ini ketika mengkritik keras dua imperium ideologi besar, sosialisme dan kapitalisme. Menurut Syari'ati, sosialisme dalam Islam dapat difungsikan menjadi pandangan sentral falsafah hidup yang membawa manusia melakukan perubahan sosial. Dalam politik internasional, Sosialisme Keagamaan Ali Syari'ati lebih erat kaitannya dengan konstruksi politik yang sedang berlangsung di Iran saat itu. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan menjadikan karaya-karaya serta pemikirannya yang tersebar dan Analisa para ahli terkait pemikirannya menjadi sumber dalam artikel ini.

TEACHERS AS DETERMINANTS OF SUCCESS IN EDUCATION REFORM
Authors: Nasution Sri Mulyani , Paulus Kristo , Iskarina Darin Brenda
Published: February 2024

Modernity encourages students to have multidimensional and high-quality competencies to be able to face and overcome the consequences of developments and changes that are taking place globally in the context of modernization. To achieve this need, the teacher also becomes a determinant of educational success. Unfortunately, the ever-increasing need for the teacher's role is not followed by fulfilling the teacher's competence needs. The main task of the teacher to develop students’ talents and interests seems to be not optimally implemented. From these problems, it is concluded that: (1) Teachers have an important role in the success of education reform; (2) The teacher has a central task as a leader in the learning process in class; (3) Success in learning can be seen from the outcomes of students; (4) The learning that is carried out must be able to have an impact on change, especially for students. (5) For education reform to run optimally, teachers must function as contained in PP 19 of 2017 concerning Teachers.

The method used in this study is a qualitative method by using reference searches by analyzing research texts related to dystopian films and understanding of the aqidah as'ariyah about the projection of the end of time. The results of the search were analyzed based on the perspective of As'ariyah's aqidah regarding the main ideas specifically about the future and the end of time. The results of this study indicate that the representation of dystopian films often shows humans struggling to survive in a world full of chaos, but from the perspective of As'ariyah belief, humans must prepare themselves spiritually and do good deeds in order to get a good place in the afterlife.
THE IMPORTANCE OF TRANSPERANCY IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FOR NATION BUILDING: An Expository Analysis from Islamic Thought
Authors: Usman Abubakar Ibrahim , Anka Jamila Muhammad
Published: February 2024

Sustainable development for nation building is not a new concept to Islam, sustainable development principles have existed for centuries in the Glorious Qur'an and the Hadith. However, sustainable development concept may have been recently adopted for government and civic society in Islamic world. The Islamic thought embraces that everything on earth is created for humanity and Allah's award to people. Islam allows the consumption of the natural environment without involving unnecessary destruction. Islamic thought views that human activities should support environment, and protection of people’s rights, and needs ensuring that human activities do not compromise the essentials of social, economic and natural systems either now or in the future. The aim of this study is to discover the application of Islam in sustainable development debate. Sustainable development in the context of Islamic concept is taken as an opportunity to refresh the relationship between human being and the nation building. This paper will also discuss the role of transparency and accountability in building good governance. With Iḥsan and Taqwa based on Iman, people can control, manage and report their actions, although there are no punishments or responsibility questions from others. The principles of transparency and accountability in the Qur’an guarantee social control and report, wide public participation, kind public service, self-honest, self-control and self-responsibility so that various forms of distortion such as corruption or discrimination can be avoided and controlled.
LAVISH WEDDING AMONG MUSLIMS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA
Authors: Maigari Abdullahi Muhammad
Published: February 2024

Spending huge amount of money during wedding ceremony among Hausa and Fulani ethnic groups who are predominantly Muslims in Northern Nigeria is a new phenomenon. There is a change in the trend at which potential husband and wife spend ostentatiously at pre and post wedding events to impress the friends, relatives and the general public. The study adopted a Theory of Conspicuous consumption by Thorsten Veblen to explain the behaviour of some bride and groom in spending money to impress others. Methodologically, qualitative data were elicited from ten IDI with some newly wedded couples in Kano and Katsina metropolises. The study found that in an attempt to demonstrate one’s social and economic class in the society, some people spend money uncontrollably during their wedding or that of their children or relatives. The result further showed that the essence of the wedding spending is not to impress the couples but it is targeted at the audience, spectators or guests at the wedding which contravenes the teachings of Islam which admonish Muslims to be modest in all their social interactions and activities. The paper concluded that spending huge amount of money during wedding deter young people from getting married which leads to delay marriage among people of child bearing age in Kano and Katsina. This is rampant because the neglect of the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Benediction of Allah be upon him) in wedding rites.

The books show the differences between the unbeliever’s system of government before the jihad and the Muslims system of government after the jihad. It also highlights the misunderstanding between Abdussalam who is happen to be shaykh’s student and either shaykh himself and or Muhammad Bello. The paper also concludes by recommending to the three group of people individual scholars, sultanate council and government in general to act appropriately for the re-introducing Sokoto Jihad literature to the Muslim community. The paper adopted secondary data in writing the research with the selection of the two books written by Shaykh Uthman bn Fudoye and Muhammad Bello which are Kitab Sard Al-Kalam Fima Jara Bayni/ Baynana Wa Baina Abd Al-Salam and Kitab Al-Fara.
RELIGIOUS PLURALISM ACCORDING TO THE THOUGHT OF NURCHOLISH MADJID IN THE INDONESIAN CONTEXT
Authors: Faqihuddin Ahmad
Published: February 2024

Pluralism cannot be separated from the meaning of plurality, if plurality is a difference in religious, ethnic, cultural or other issues, while pluralism is a system of values, attitudes and processes that can translate religious reality into sustainable social cohesion. In other words, diversity is something empirical, while pluralism is an ideology or understanding that accepts diversity as a positive value accompanied by efforts to negotiate and adjust among them, without trying to weaken or even destroy one or part of that diversity. The existence of a difference in religion is a reality in society, and a pluralist attitude is an orientation that assumes acceptance and sincere relationship to that fact, rather than eliminating or destroying or melting the differences into one.This type of research is library research (Libary research) The results of this study collected that: According to Nurcholish Madjid, the noble values of Indonesianness are universal and cosmopolitan values of the Indonesian nation based on religion or culture as a result of a long dialogue with religion, these values have a strategic role as well as a central role in building the unity of the people to foster self-esteem as a nation. The issue of the relationship between religion, citizens and the nation is a matter of ijtihad that is closely related to the socio-political contacts understood by the people themselves.

Authors: Alkhotob Imam Taufik
Published: February 2024

Da'wah activities through efforts to prevent evil ( nahi munkar ) among humans are known as al-Hisbah . The practice of munkar occurs everywhere and is carried out openly. This requires maximum prevention efforts from various parties. Both from the side of the state and also from society. However, the facts on the ground show that the implementation of the al munkar causes many problems (madharat). This study used a qualitative research method with a library research approach, also called a qualitative literature review. The author conducts an in-depth (philosophical) study to find principles in the application of hisbah that originate from the books of the Salaf and Khalaf scholars. The conclusion from the results of this study states three things: First, the concept of hisbah in Islam is comprehensive. This concept does not only speak of monitoring one area but all things, which includes the goodness left behind and the evil that is seen, with its four pillars: al muhtasib, al muhtasab 'alaihi, al muhtasab fihi, and al ihtisab. Second, the authors have formulated 14 important rules that become guidelines in the practice of hisbah across the state. Third, the author has also formulated 17 important principles in the practice of hisbah in society.

في ظل التحولات الكبيرة التي تشهدها البشرية في العصر الحالي، يظل السعي لفهم مستقبل العالم من خلال منظار الخير والشر موضوعًا محوريًا. يهدف هذا البحث إلى استكشاف الفهم الديني لمستقبل العالم من خلال دراسة تفصيلية لحديث حذيفة بن اليمان رَضوَاللَّهُ عَنْهُ حول مفهومي الخير والشر. في هذا السياق، نقوم بتحليل الحديث بشكل دقيق، مستندين إلى مبادئ التفسير الحديثي والتحليل النقدي للنصوص الدينية. نركز على الرؤية الشاملة التي يقدمها حذيفة حول الديناميات المعقدة بين الخير والشر وكيفية تأثيرها على مستقبل الإنسانية. نبحث أيضًا في كيفية تأثير هذا الحديث على الفهم المعاصر للأخلاقيات الدينية والاجتماعية. من خلال هذا، نسعى لفهم أفق أوسع للخير والشر وتأثيرهما على مصائر الأمم والفرد في مستقبل العالم. يختتم البحث بتقديم توصيات لكيفية استخدام الفهم العميق لمفهومي الخير والشر في بناء مستقبل أكثر إشراقًا وتوازنًا. نأمل أن يسهم هذا البحث في إثراء النقاش حول دور الدين في تشكيل مستقبل أمة تتسم بالتوافق والتناغم بين مختلف جوانب الحياة.
KH. ABDULLAH SYFI'IE BIN SYFI'IE BIN SAIRAN'S COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS THROUGH DA'WAH
Authors: Sirojuddin Sirojuddin
Published: February 2024

In theory, Da'wah is the process of applying Islamic teachings to foster a positive society. From a scholarly perspective, Da'wah science can be categorized into two distinct parts: basic and applied Da'wah science. Basic Da'wah science delves into the theoretical and foundational aspects of Da'wah, while applied Da'wah science focuses on its practical implementation. In the context of applied Da'wah science, one effective approach to comprehending the practical aspects of Da'wah is to study the rules and methodologies of Da'wah found in the Quran and Hadith, particularly those employed by Prophets and Messengers. Additionally, these principles of Da'wah implementation can be gleaned from the teachings and practices of revered Islamic figures and scholars. Among the distinguished figures in the realm of Da'wah is K.H. Abdullah Syafi'ie bin Syafi'ie bin Sairan, a charismatic Betawi cleric known for his profound knowledge. This study revolves around three main focal points: Firstly, it explores the unique qualities and charisma that set KH Abdullah Syafi'ie bin Syafi'ie bin Sairan apart as an accomplished Da'i from the Betawi community. Secondly, it delves into the specific Da'wah approach employed by KH Abdullah Syafi'ie bin Syafi'ie bin Sairan, which left a lasting impact on the Islamic community in Betawi. Thirdly, it examines the practical manifestations of KH Abdullah Syafi'ie bin Syafi'ie bin Sairan's ideas in the development of the Betawi Islamic Community. The theoretical underpinning of this study rests on two key concepts: First, it draws inspiration from the community development model of the Prophet Muhammad's era, notably the Medina Charter, as an exemplar of community-building in an Islamic context. Second, it incorporates the contemporary perspective of community development as articulated by Brokensha and Hodge, who define it as a movement aimed at enhancing the overall quality of life for an entire community through active participation. This research adopts a qualitative approach, primarily employing qualitative descriptive research methods. Following the research planning phase, the author conducts fieldwork, which includes direct observations, informant interviews, and data collection pertaining to the subject of research. The findings of this study underscore that KH Abdullah Syafi'ie effectively propagated his ideas through various means, including oral communication, written materials, practical actions, political engagement, and the use of electronic media such as radio. These multifaceted approaches collectively contributed to a transformation in the societal fabric, aligning it more closely with the ideals espoused in the Quran and Hadith, as desired by Allah and the Prophet.

FORMS AND FACTORS CAUSING MORAL DECADENCE OF THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION IN SOCIAL COMMUNITY
Authors: Hakki Saddam
Published: February 2024

This research is motivated by the moral decadence in the current millennial era when the flow of modernization is able to present everything that has an impact on the moral decline of the Indonesian population, especially among the youth. The moral crisis experienced, especially among youth, has become widespread and could threaten the future of the nation. The aim of this research is to describe the forms and factors causing the moral decadence of the millennial generation in society's social life. This research was carried out using library research , which is research whose objects are searched for using various library information such as books, scientific journals, magazines, newspapers and documents . If researchers do not have their own reading sources, they can look in libraries, both formal institutional libraries and private libraries. The results of the research show that cultivating character in the family environment is not enough for moral construction because when they grow up the child will find a new environment which will also shape his personality. Cultivating character in the family environment will become the foundation for further character, but quite a few experience setbacks due to the influence of the new environment. In constructing the moral generation of the nation, three elements of the state which include society, government and the private sector must build synergy in creating Indonesia's golden generation. Meanwhile, the government, with its main duties as a policy maker, can create educational regulations that are oriented towards instilling noble values, as well as developing the character of young Indonesian intellectuals. Character development in formal education institutions has not achieved the expected output. Much of character education is in the form of theory, without any room for implementation of character or moral values. Furthermore, the presence of human rights (HAM) also becomes a pathology in character development, because human rights indirectly limit the domination of teaching staff over students.
