The Evaluating Land Regulation Challenges in Mitigating Gentrification: Insights from Bali's Mass Tourism Impact
Authors: Yudiantika Kadek Agus , Prasada Dewa Krisna
Published: February 2025

Gentrification is a complex socio-economic phenomenon that often occurs in tourism areas, where areas previously inhabited by lower-class residents are transformed into more prosperous neighborhoods. In Bali, significant tourism growth, with more than 5.5 million foreign tourists, has driven demand for land and property, especially from wealthy investors and foreigners. This has led to a surge in property prices that are unaffordable for locals, who on average have an income of around Rp 3.5 million per month. Drastic increases in land prices, especially in regions such as Canggu and Ubud, have resulted in the marginalization of local communities and the eviction of indigenous peoples, while also highlighting the growing gap between the rich and the poor. This study aims to explore the relationship between inadequate land regulation and the gentrification phenomenon triggered by mass tourism in Bali. Using socio-legal methods, this study analyzes primary and secondary data, including national regulations and legal literature. The results show that gaps in land regulation, such as the use of nominee agreements and lack of oversight of land ownership by foreign investors, exacerbate gentrification. Therefore, it is important to improve existing regulations by emphasizing the protection of the rights of local communities and the development of inclusive land-use policies. This study recommends the involvement of local communities in every stage of tourism development, as well as the enforcement of laws that limit foreign dominance in property ownership. As such, the principle of social justice should be the basis of tourism planning in Bali, ensuring that economic benefits are evenly distributed and supporting the cultural sustainability of local communities.
Capacity Analysis of Degrees of Saturation of Traffic Transportation (Signalized Intersection of Road Gajah Mada - Munginsidi And Railway Bojonegoro)
Authors: Herta Novianto
Published: February 2025

Gajah Mada Road and Munginsidi Road in the Bojonegoro district are important roads for the local community. The existence of these various necessary facilities and means will have an impact on the relatively dense traffic volume. Based on the review of the study location and the results of the survey as well as the data collection and processing carried out, the following research results were obtained: The capacity of the Monginsidi Road section is 1,185.52 PCU/hour with a degree of saturation of 0.59, while on the Gajah Mada Road section the capacity of the section roads amounted to 2,836.78 PCU/hour with a degree of saturation of 0.79. Traffic flow performance is determined by the level of road service, the road service level is classified as level C with the description that the flow is stable, but vehicle speed and movement are controlled. On the Gajah Mada Road section, the road service level is classified as level D with the description that the flow is approaching unstable, speed can still be controlled, and Q/Can still be tolerated. To create effective and efficient conditions, namely the realization of orderly, smooth, and comfortable traffic flow, there must be a balance between facilities and facility users so that various traffic problems can be resolved as early as possible.

Published: February 2025

Students interest in local culture tends to decline, especially in the face of globalization's influence, which shifts cultural values. This study aims to develop a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model integrated with local culture to enhance students' critical thinking skills in the course on the Development of Fine Motor Skills. This research is a development study or Research and Development (R&D) utilizing the 4D model (Define, Design, Development, and Dissemination). The research sample consists of third-semester students from the Early Childhood Education Teacher Program at Universitas Bengkulu for the 2024/2025 academic year. Data collection is conducted through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation, while data analysis employs qualitative analysis methods. The results indicate that the local culture-based PjBL model meets the criteria of being valid, practical, and effective in improving students' critical thinking skills. This effectiveness is demonstrated through a three-phase trial showing significant differences in students' abilities before and after the implementation of PjBL. Future researchers are encouraged to implement the local culture-based PjBL model more broadly across various study programs and courses, as well as conduct further research to evaluate the long-term impact of PjBL implementation on the development of critical thinking skills and other learning aspects

Published: February 2025

The objective: to evaluate the sex-specific characteristics of chronic low back pain and its associated risk factors to develop more personalized and effective interventions.
Materials and methods. A survey of 100 people of working age 18–60 years was conducted to assess the sex characteristics of chronic low back pain and risk factors that can potentiate it. The subjects were interviewed in an online form, which included: socio-demographic and anthropometric data, lifestyle and physical activity data, PSS-10 questionnaire (subjective assessment of stress level) and VAS to study pain intensity in the lower back.
Results. The mean value of VAS pain intensity in the lower back among men was 4.94±1.99 points, among women – 4.8±1.7 points (p>0.05). No differences were found between the sexes in terms of marital status and education level. The BMI of men was 28.2±3.39 kg/m2, women – 26.0±5.15 kg/m2, a significant difference between men and women was found (p=0.013).
Men are more physically active compared to women and at the same time have a significantly higher (p<0.05) rate of excessive PA, which may be a risk factor for chronic low back pain. Men with chronic low back pain are less likely to catastrophize their health status and assess their health status more optimistically compared to women (х2=14.1; p=0.003). Heavy lifting was associated more with men than women, 32% (CI 6.75–47.59%) of men versus 12% (CI 3.96–17.51%) of women (p<0.05). Smoking habits were also more common among men 38% (CI 4.73–57.19%) than among women 12% (CI 2.16–24.71%) (p<0.05).
The average level of stress in men was 16±6.85 units, in women it was 19.2±5.84 and was significantly higher compared to men (p=0.01). Sleep disturbance was found in 48% of men and 66% of women (p<0.05). It was found that 46% of men and 68% of women had comorbidities (p<0.01).
Conclusion. Sex-specific features of chronic low back pain and risk factors associated with it have been identified. For men, the following risk factors are typical: overweight, excessive PA, heavy lifting and smoking. For women, the risk factors were low PA, catastrophizing health conditions, prolonged sitting, stress, sleep disturbances and comorbidities.

Plant traits, growth stage, and ash mass load control the vulnerability of potato, corn, and wheat crops to volcanic ashfall
Authors: Ligot Noa , Barthélemi Lauriane , Falys Hugues , Godin Bruno , Bogaert Patrick , Delmelle Pierre
Published: February 2025

Current predictive models of ash impact on crops use ash thickness (or mass load) as the explanatory variable but fail to account for other factors, such as plant traits and growth stage, which also influence impact. We conducted a plot experiment with three common crops (potatoes, corn, and wheat), exposing them to representative ash mass loads (0.5 to 9 kg m−2 ). We recorded visual impacts on the plants at different intervals and estimated yield loss. Distinct impact mechanisms were identified for each crop, including premature flower abscission, irreversible leaf yellowing, desiccation and senescence, and stalk lodging. Exposure of potato, corn, and wheat plants to ash mass loads >1 kg m−2 significantly reduced yield, but production quality was largely unaffected. These results were used to develop new vulnerability functions for estimating yield loss in potatoes, corn, and wheat following exposure to an ashfall event.

Introducción. El espectro de presentación de la hemorragia digestiva ha cambiado en el tiempo y aunque la frecuencia de la hemorragia digestiva masiva (HDM) se ha reducido, continúa siendo una entidad relevante al tener una mortalidad elevada y requerir mayor esfuerzo terapéutico para su control. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las características de los pacientes con HDM y los factores asociados a su ocurrencia.
Métodos. Estudio analítico de cohorte retrospectiva (2012-2022) en pacientes con diagnóstico de hemorragia digestiva confirmado por endoscopia. Se definió HDM como la necesidad de transfusión de 2 o más unidades de glóbulos rojos. Se evaluaron factores demográficos, comorbilidades y estado hemodinámico. Se hizo un análisis multivariado para identificar los factores asociados a HDM.
Resultados. Se incluyeron 259 pacientes, de los cuales 62 (23,9 %) presentaron HDM. La mortalidad en los pacientes con HDM fue del 30,6 %. El análisis multivariado demostró que un puntaje en la escala de coma de Glasgow menor o igual a 13 (aOR 2,85; IC95% 1,17-6,94), un índice de shock mayor de 0,9 (aOR 2,19; IC95% 1,07-4,54) y el antecedente de diabetes complicada (aOR 3,36; IC95% 1,15-9,74) fueron los factores que se asociaron con HDM.
Conclusiones. La alteración del estado de conciencia, el aumento del índice de shock y el antecedente de diabetes complicada en la evaluación inicial de un paciente con sangrado digestivo deben alertar sobre una posible HDM. La necesidad de transfusión, angioembolización, procedimientos endoscópicos o cirugía deben considerarse tempranamente al tratar los pacientes con HDM.

Perpetration and Performance: Unlikely Villains and the Ghosting Effect in Fargo
Authors:   University of Konstanz, Germany, Mohr Evelyn Martha
Published: February 2025

Noah Hawley’s anthology series Fargo (FX, 2014- ) has received critical acclaim for its equally humorous and violent depiction of small-town delinquency. Participating in a range of criminal conflicts in and around Fargo, perpetrators are at the heart of the series’ thematic interest. However, Fargo self-reflexively deviates from classic crime and detective fiction schemes and rearranges generic conventions into a pastiche of cultural references. As I demonstrate in this article, the series’ playful rearrangement of familiar elements also affects the depiction of perpetrators. While the series features classic criminal characters such as hitmen and gang members, it is also interested in portraying previously blameless characters who gradually develop criminal potentials—characters who evolve from ordinary citizens to murderers, from oppressed to oppressors, from victims to perpetrators. I argue that the evolution of these unlikely villains is complemented by the choice of actors for the respective roles. The “recycling of the bodies of actors” is part of what Marvin Carlson has termed “ghosting” in theatre studies (The Haunted Stage 10). By interspersing reminiscences of some actors’ previous roles, Fargo deliberately activates the audience’s cultural memory to alienate them from established connotations and create new, uncommon villains. In this vein, the series prompts its audience to reflect on their own expectations that are based on cultural conventions and problematizes the issue of role-playing in the evolution of perpetrators both on a thematic and on a performative level.
From Disaffected Youth to Dangerous Adults: The Brooding Evil of the Familiar in Bret Easton Ellis’s Fiction
Authors:   The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, Magrino William
Published: February 2025

Contemporary American author Bret Easton Ellis has written seven novels, one collection of interrelated short stories, multiple screenplays, one long work of non-fiction, and a number of essays throughout the better part of the past four decades. In addition, in recent years, he has cultivated a significant online presence through social media, as well as a popular podcast. From the time of his debut novel, published while he was still an undergraduate student, until the present day, his works have been the subject of much scrutiny in terms of subject matter and style. Particularly in the case of the release of his best-known novel, American Psycho (1991), a good deal of the criticism of Ellis has shifted between the text and the public persona of the author himself. In typical postmodern style, this blurring of boundaries was not only welcomed, but frequently precipitated by Ellis, his publishers, and the public relations machinery at work on his behalf. The focus of the majority of this attention, self-perpetuated and otherwise, has been on the apparent element of evil at work in terms of the amorality of his characters and a corresponding lack of moral certitude. Firmly rooted in theoretical tradition established by Georges Bataille, as well as the work of numerous recent scholars, this project examines the squandering of youth and its damaging impact upon contemporary society as a consistent thread running through Bret Easton Ellis’s oeuvre, particularly in his characters’ pervasive drug use and conspicuous expression of sexuality. The trajectory of narrator-protagonist Clay, from isolated college student in Less Than Zero (1985) and The Rules of Attraction (1987) into savage narcissist in Imperial Bedrooms (2010) is a prime illustration of evil, as inherent in the familiar, throughout Ellis’s postmodern landscape. As opposed to presenting an external perpetrator of evil as a threat to an existing moral order, Ellis’s narrator reports on the evil at work in these young people’s daily lives. The reader, therefore, as this project contends, is placed in the uncomfortable, but imperative and at times voyeuristic, position of determining the extent of culpability for an entire society—one that is all too familiar.
“Instead of Pumping Iron, She was Pumping Bullets into her Husband”: The Portrayal of a Female Perpetrator in Nanette Burstein’s Killer Sally
Authors:   Cappadocia University, Turkey, Bay Hatice
Published: February 2025

In the media, the law, and public opinion, women who resort to violence within abusive relationships are often depicted as either victims or monsters. Nanette Burstein’s three-part docuseries, Killer Sally (2022), reexamines this binary which focuses on Sally McNeil, a former professional bodybuilder who murdered her husband, also a professional bodybuilder, in Southern California in 1995. Drawing on Belinda Morrissey’s When Women Kill and The Routledge International Handbook of Perpetrator Studies, this article argues that Burstein questions the discursive, performative, and one-sided dimensions of media and legal portrayals of female perpetrators. By placing both the perpetrator and the victim within complex socio-psychological and posthuman frameworks, Burstein broadens the discourse on battered women who kill by granting the perpetrator agency and voice.
Study of the functional and technological properties of boiled ham products

Published: February 2025

Purpose. Study of functional and technological properties of the developed samples of ham restructured with plant ingredients.
Materials and Methods. The objects of the study were samples of minced ham with plant components: pumpkin pulp and spinach. A set of standard and adapted methods, including physicochemical and organoleptic methods, were used to conduct the studies. The experiments were repeated three times. The obtained data were processed statistically.
Results. The introduction of pumpkin pulp and spinach into the mince increased the mass fraction of moisture, while affecting the water-binding capacity. The use of plant components significantly affected the chemical composition of the finished products: in sample No. 2PS, protein increased by 1.5%, and fat decreased by 6.04% (Р≤0.001). In sample No. 1T, protein increased by 0.7%, and fat decreased by 2.53% (Р≤0.01). The addition of spinach also reduced fat by 4.81% (Р≤0.001), but led to a decrease in protein by 0.6%. As a result of the experimental studies, it was found that the sample with the addition of 3.5% pumpkin pulp and 2% spinach (No. 2PS) demonstrated the best organoleptic and physico-chemical properties.
Conclusion. It has been experimentally studied that the addition of plant components such as pumpkin and spinach increases the mass fraction of moisture in raw mince, but reduces its water-binding capacity. As a result of using these ingredients, an increase in protein content and a decrease in the proportion of fat in restructured ham products from poultry meat are observed, which indicates a positive effect of plant additives on the chemical composition of meat products.

Effect of Exchange Rate Path-through on Inflation: Recent Japanese Case
Authors: Kurihara Yutaka
Published: February 2025

After the burst of the bubble economy in the mid-1990s, when stock and land prices plummeted in Japan, the country had been in a deflationary trend for about 30 years, with the inflation rate hovering around 0%. In 2022, however, sudden increases in the prices of food and utilities, coupled with little increase in wages, made life difficult for people. The beginning of the price increase is attributed to Russia`s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. This crisis in Ukraine caused food and energy prices to rise. In addition, the interest rate differential between the U.S. and Japan had widened, Japanese yen weakened, and import prices rose, leading to a broad-based price increase in Japan. Moreover, in 2022, the Japanese government announced the "With Corona" policy, which played a pivotal role in both preventing the spread of infection and promoting economic activity, leading to some recovery in economic activity and an acceleration of labor shortages. This was followed by a movement to raise wages. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors behind price increases in Japan. While many believe that the weak yen is the biggest factor behind the price increases, this study uses statistical analysis to test this view. Empirical analyses show that the depreciation of the yen led to higher prices in Japan, but no significant relationship was found between prices and the industrial production index, nor between prices and the policy interest rate. Furthermore, there was no evidence that wage increases caused price increases.

Published: February 2025

Helping others may serve as a resiliency-promoting factor for adolescents during challenging times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study examined short- and long-term within-person associations between providing emotional support and feelings of vigor among adolescents. We used data from an 8-wave longitudinal study with 6 months in-between timepoints (May 2020 to December 2023) among 2430 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 25. We performed random intercept cross lagged panel models to examine daily and half-yearly lagged effects of emotional support on vigor and tested moderating effects of perceived impact and age. Results revealed bidirectional lagged effects. Higher levels in emotional support to family were followed by subsequent higher levels in vigor a day later, while higher levels of vigor were followed by higher levels of emotional support to friends a day later. However, at the half-year level, higher levels of vigor were associated with lower levels of emotional support to friends. Moderation analyses revealed that the relationship between daily emotional support to family and vigor was moderated by levels of perceived impact. Preliminary evidence also suggested age-related differences in these associations. Our study highlights the potential of prosocial behavior to buffer against the negative effects of societal challenges (i.e., the COVID-19 pandemic) for today’s generation of youth, as providing emotional support to others may lead to feelings of purpose and impact among adolescents.
It Takes a Village: Advancing Attachment Theory and Recovering the Roots of Human Health with the Circle of Seven Essential Needs
Authors: Sosteric Mike , Ratkovic Gina
Published: February 2025

Bowlby’s Attachment Theory (AT) remains a popular way to understand infant, child, adolescent, and even adult and family dysfunction. However, attachment theory, which has not changed significantly since its inception, is a reductive theory that ignores a wider range of human needs and has caused significant hardship and trauma. The limitations of this model, particularly when applied outside the Eurocentric and ethnocentric frames of mainstream psychology, are well known. In this article, we suggest it is time to replace the reductive theory of needs that underpins AT with a comprehensive theory, one that could help us develop a less ideological, healthier, and more empirically informed approach to socialization and social care; one that might help us answer Abraham Maslow’s Eupsychian question which is how to build a society capable of actuating the full potential of all its citizens.
Measures of relationship power dynamics in romantic relationships
Authors: Junkins Eleanor J , Derringer Jaime , Ogolsky Brian G , Hardesty Jennifer L. , Weisberg Yanna J
Published: February 2025

Power is central to understanding romantic relationship dynamics. Yet, the study of relationship power has suffered from a lack of consistent measurement or agreement on the latent construct. Valid measurement is essential for research to progress more rapidly due to the increased likelihood of replicability and comparability. We reviewed all power measures published in empirical articles (k = 319) before 2022. We categorized measures into nine categories based on operationalizations, theoretical considerations, and common themes. The most commonly studied aspects of power were sexual relationship power, structural power, and decision-making. We also summarized the study topics and sample characteristics to investigate when different types of power measures were used. Future research should test the construct validity, internal validity, and external validity of power measures. We discourage the use of proxy measures previously validated to measure constructs distinct from power dynamics in order to avoid conflating distinct constructs for power research.
When Hiding Hurts: How Stealth Use of Generative AI Resources Impairs Task Performance
Authors: Li Peikai , MA Lin , Dong Niannian , Xing Lucy , Yuan Shuai
Published: February 2025

AbstractThe rapid proliferation of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) has created an intriguing paradox in organizations: while employees increasingly recognize Gen AI’s potential to enhance productivity and innovation, many use these tools covertly. Drawing on dual-process theory, we introduce and validate the concept of Stealth Use of Generative AI Resources (SUGAR)—employees’ hidden use of Gen AI tools within professional settings. Through rigorous scale development across multiple samples in the UK and China, we establish SUGAR as distinct from related constructs including AI usage and attitudes. Analysis of multi-wave data from 207 employees reveals that SUGAR undermines task performance by disrupting employees’ natural learning processes and triggering feelings of professional inadequacy. Specifically, while general AI usage positively relates to performance, concealing such usage reduces reflective learning opportunities and increases impostor feelings, ultimately reducing performance. Our findings advance organizational theory by revealing how AI concealment creates unique cognitive demands that cannot be overcome by motivational factors, while also demonstrating how employees’ well-intentioned efforts to leverage AI capabilities through covert use may ultimately impair their performance. This research initiates important theoretical conversations about the unintended consequences of undisclosed AI usage in organizations and provides practical insights for developing more nuanced approaches to AI governance that balance productivity with transparency. Keywords: Generative AI, stealth use of generative AI resources, dual-process theory, reflective learning, imposter feeling, self-improvement motivation, task performance
The impact of a partner’s perceived effort and partnership duration on cheating
Authors: van Baal Simon , Chennells Matthew , Walasek Lukasz , Mitkidis Panagiotis , Michael John
Published: February 2025

Collaboration with a partner can lead to more cheating behaviour than would occur individually, but much is unknown about the social factors contributing to this tendency. In two preregistered experiments we investigate the effects of commitment to one’s partner and reward structure on cheating in a sequential dyadic die-rolling paradigm. In Experiment 1, we manipulated two features of the social context: perceived effort investment by one’s partner and the duration of partnership. We found that participants cheated more when they perceived that their partner exerted high effort, which was significant in the short partnership condition. Moreover, participants cheated more individually post-collaboration than they had pre-collaboration, showing that collaborative cheating may carry over into subsequent behaviour. In Experiment 2, we manipulated who received each round’s rewards. Participants cheated more for joint rewards, but less when they were the reward recipients and perceived that their partner exerted high effort.
Die neue Minderheit. Menschen ohne Migrationshintergrund in der superdiversen Stadt
Authors: Crul Maurice , Lelie Frans
Published: February 2025

Seit mehr als 40 Jahren stehen Migrant:innen sowie ihre Kinder und Enkelkinder im Zentrum der politischen, wissenschaftlichen und öffentlichen Diskussion. Dieser Band wendet sich nun der Gruppe zu, die in der Integrationsdebatte bisher übersehen wurde: die Menschen ohne Migrationshintergrund. In vielen europäischen Großstädten sind sie heute zahlenmäßig in der Minderheit. Wie erleben sie die superdiverse Stadt? Sind sie ein Teil dieser Vielfalt?
In der internationalen „Becoming-a-Minority“-Studie haben wir Antworten auf diese Fragen gefunden: Diese neue Minderheit empfindet es im Allgemeinen als bereichernd, in einer kulturell vielfältigen Stadt zu leben, aber gleichzeitig haben nur wenige von ihnen selbst einen heterogenen Freundeskreis. Viele von ihnen haben auch nicht von klein auf gelernt, ganz praktisch Vielfalt zu leben.
Dieses Buch zeigt, dass diejenigen, die die Kunst des Zusammenlebens erlernt haben, sich in der superdiversen Stadt wohler fühlen, mehr Kontakte und angenehmere Interaktionen in ihrem Wohnumfeld erfahren. In einer vielfältigen Umgebung zu leben und an ihr teilzuhaben, erweist sich als positiv für das eigene Wohlbefinden.
Impact of Internal Control System in Preventing, Detecting Accounting Frauds and Errors in Educational Institutions of Khotang District, Nepal
Authors: Rai Harka Bir
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to ascertain how internal controls affect fraud, Error detection and prevention in public and private schools. The descriptive research method is applied. Primary data were employed in this study, and a questionnaire with points Likert Scale instrument was used to gather the data. Accountants, Head Teachers, the Chairperson of the school management committee, Teachers and Auditors from the 96 secondary schools in the Khotang District make up the population. By utilizing a random sampling technique, 55 respondents were chosen. This study employs both descriptive and inferential analytical techniques. The study's findings demonstrated the critical role internal control plays in identifying and preventing fraud, error. The study discovered that fraud prevention and detection strategies at both public and private schools are positively and significantly impacted by each of the five internal control components. The five internal control components that make up the independent variables and the dependent variable fraud prevention and detection were found to be strongly positively correlated. There is a strong correlation between the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, monitoring activities, fraud, error detection, and prevention. The result shows the strong positive correlation of five internal components are 0.993, 0.982, 0.911, 0.944, and 0.957. This suggests that strengthening an internal control system component will strengthen fraud, error detection and prevention.

Authors: Shrestha Chandan Bade
Published: February 2025

Divination and electional astrology are long-standing practices in the Newar Buddhist community. Though most of the astrological works are ascribed to the elites of the community- the Vajracharya priests, many lay people also have basic skills in using the almanac to find auspicious dates and Newari festivals. While conducting a comprehensive literature review, I discovered that astrological traditions evolved within the Indian subcontinent primarily serve as the foundation of astrological practices of the Newar Buddhist community. Variations exist in the focus during predictions, with an emphasis on Yogini dasha and the inclusion of unique Buddhist nomenclature for planets. In essence, the foundation of these practices lies in a blend of Indic, Tantric, and Buddhist influences. Buddhists historically drew astrological insights from Mahayana texts like 'Sardulakarnavadana' and 'Mahasamnipata,' incorporating astral knowledge from Vedic and other Indian astrology systems. The 'Grahamatrika Dharani,' a key Buddhist text on astrological remedies gained widespread use in the 9th and 10th centuries in Northern India, Nepal and Tibet, sharing similarities with Hindu Navagraha Puja. My exploration also encompasses the timing of significant Newar Buddhist rituals, festivals, fasts, and life events, shedding light on the community's astrological practices.

Authors: Janak Samanera
Published: February 2025

The Ti-Pitaka is a collection of Buddha's teachings. The Abhidharma Pitaka is a philosophical part of Buddhism, whereas the Sutra Pitaka narrates a tale based on Buddha's teachings. Vinaya Pitaka contains instructions on how to live a renunciate lifestyle and follow the rules and regulations of the Buddha. Vinaya is absolutely essential to the continuation and originality of Buddha's teachings. The three subcategories of vinaya are suttavibhanga, khandhaka, and parivra. Suttavibhanga contains serious regulations that monks must abide by, such as Parajika, Pacittiya, Aniyatta, Sanghadisesa, etc. The Conclusions of all Vinaya rules are contained in Parivara, while community-centric rules that are requested by laypeople and on-time demand rules are put in Khandhaka. All of Vinaya was ready to use; it had not been previously presented. It evolved through time. Mahavagga is among the early laws that Buddha started to impose. gradual progress Buddhism grew in popularity over time. Mahavagga contains certain norms that can emerge in Buddhist societies as a result of societal participation. As a result, different places and groups develop their own brand of identical Buddhism. The Vinaya treatment to become a novice and a monk, Vinaya observance and purification, rainy retreat, Pavaran, celebrating Kathina ritual, information regarding robe, medicines and utilities, and how monks can always be together are examples of the sorts of regulations included in this literature. Through, Mahāvagga everyone can benefit from learning about human behavior in ancient South Asia and the design of monks' constitutions.
Forgotten Legacy of Saṃmitīya School
Authors: Bajracharya Surendra Man
Published: February 2025

Buddhist history shows that Saṃmitīya school has been an influential Buddhist sect in the past. On the one hand, it stood unique, holding an unconventional view like pudgalavāda, which seemingly appears against anātmavāda; on the other, it remained dominant in many places as a significant branch of early Buddhism. It regarded pudgala as bhāra-hāra, the burden bearer of pañca-skandha, the building blocks of life. Nevertheless, many Buddhists viewed pudgala as an Atman and rejected it, for to be a Buddhist is not to accept the existence of Ātma translated as soul. Saṃmitīya’s influence can also be noticed in Nepal. The paper delves into revealing the legacy of Saṃmitīya and tracing its existence in Nepal.

Analysis of the Regulation of Interfaith Marriage between Indonesia and Singapore
Authors: Sujin Kim , Salmah Halimatus Khalidawati
Published: February 2025

Marriage is a physical and mental bond between a man and a woman as husband and wife, which aims to form a family or can be called a harmonious, happy, and eternal household based on the Almighty God. However, with the different beliefs embraced by each person, of course, it can raise several issues of whether it is permissible to marry even though they have different religions. This is of course a significant difference between Indonesia and other countries including Singapore. Marriage is valid if it is carried out according to each religion, and recorded according to applicable regulations. In Indonesia, interfaith marriage is not recognized by state law and is still a controversial issue. In Singapore, interfaith marriage is allowed with some terms and conditions and has been more accepted by Singaporeans. This creates a difference between the legalization of interfaith marriage between Indonesia and Singapore.
