Authors: Tokede Abiodun Morenike , Rose Appah Ogechukwu
Published: September 2020

The Corona Virus pandemic has evolved and continues to be a very serious emergency across the globe. It is observed that many people do not take the prevention of this disease seriously, thus this study focused on the influence of demographic factors, corona virus awareness, and perception on social and health-related preventive practices of secondary school adolescents in Ibadan south west Local Government Area in Oyo state, Nigeria. The survey was conducted on one hundred and sixty (160) adolescents selected from four (4) private and four (public) secondary schools in Ibadan southwest LGA using a two-stage random sampling procedure. The instrument for data collection is a questionnaire titled Awareness, Perception and Adolescents’ Social and Health- Related Preventive Practices of Corona virus (APSHRPCV). It was used to obtain information on demographic factors, awareness (R=0.86), perception (R=0.84) and social and health-related preventive practices (R=0.83). Data was analysed using descriptive (frequency, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson moment correlation and regression analysis). The result revealed low level of adolescents’ Covid-19 social and health-related preventive practices. It was observed that relationship between their awareness and perception of COVID-19 is a positive low relationship. Also it was revealed that awareness and perception can predict adolescents’ social and health-related preventive practices. It is, therefore, recommended that the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) put in place more campaigns through adolescents’ friendly social media to increase their awareness and perception, since positive awareness and perception is found to enhance adolescents’ Covid-19 social and health-related preventive practices.

The Impact of Al-Biruni’s Astronomical Works on Modern Astronomy
Authors: Monjur-Ul-Haider Mohammad , Rahman Md. Mokhlesur
Published: September 2020

Al-Biruni's foremosteffort on astronomy is mainly a blend of observational diagram and mathematical context. In his astronomical work, the Qanun-i Masoodi (al-Qanun al-Masudi, fi al-Hai'a wa al-Nujum), he uses his observational facts to challenge Ptolemy's steady solar 'apogee'.. Al-Biruni's eclipse facts was used by Dunthorne to supportcontrol the 'acceleration of the moon' and his observational facts has entered the more astronomical accounts and is still used today. The present paper aims to explore the major contributions of Al-Biruni to geophysics and astronomy as well as to identify the impacts of his works on the modern astronomy. Major findings indicate that Al-Biruni's key concern in astronomy was for calculations. He paid devotion to theoretical problems that had and have still been contributing to the development and critical analysis of both applied (in the procedure of solving problems), and theoretical (in the process of thought formulations) astronomy. This paper concludes that Al-Biruni's contributions must be seen in the comprehensiveness of his work, and in his continual attempts to formulate astronomical thoughts.
Environmental Warfare against American Citizens: An Open Letter to the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Authors: Herndon J. Marvin , Whiteside Mark
Published: September 2020

While the public perception of the recent attempts to unseat duly-elected U.S. President Donald J. Trump is thought to be solely of national origin, there is strong evidence of a more pernicious, United Nations’ sanctioned environmental assault on America and on American citizens. The United States and other sovereign nations are in the midst of a highly organized, covert environmental warfare assault, underlain by deception and deceit, orchestrated by a foreign entity, and perpetrated in America by the U.S. Air Force and its contractors, and facilitated by intelligence-agency operatives. The intent, to slowly and insidiously sicken, weaken, and debilitate citizenry, cause weather and climate chaos, cripple agriculture, and devastate the environment, is so cleverly underwritten and camouflaged as to have gone unnoticed in the 2018 National Defense Strategy of the United States of America and, presumably, is unknown to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But it is described here. American military officers have the responsibility to protect their own citizens, especially as they possess the means to destroy human and environmental health. Systematically poisoning the air Americans breathe, harming human and environmental health, causing weather and climate chaos, damaging agriculture, and deceiving the public as to the adverse human and environmental health consequences – all under secret orders originating from a foreign entity – we allege, violates not only their Oath of Office, but is tantamount to treason. The United States Air Force co-optation, deceit, and unquestioning capitulation to a foreign entity should be of grave concern to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. With due humility we must emphasize that no military asset is worth damaging human and environmental health, especially on a national or planetary-scale, and especially due to a deceptively-worded, Trojan horse, United Nations international treaty whose signatories presumably were duped into signing in the false belief that they were preventing hostile environmental warfare.

Developing Papua Within the Framework of Diversity: A National Defence Perspective
Authors: Werijon Werijon , Risman Helda , Surryanto D.W.
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT 

The approach to developing apua throughout the years of Indonesia's national leadership has brought considerable improvement to the island of Papua. Indonesia’s First President, Soekarno has laid the foundation of Indonesia's geopolitics in the world political order stretching from Sabang in the west to Merauke (Papua) in the east. Sustainable development in Papua continues to date in various sectors, from infrastructure to the socio-cultural development of the Papuan people. A development program focusing on a respect to-diversity (kebhinnekaan) approach establishes Papua as an integral-nationalistic part of Indonesia under the outline of total sovereignty. Paradoxically, there are still small groups that raise the issue of Free Papua as a manifestation of separatism, either the armed movement in Papua or the dissemination of political issues in international forums. This phenomenon then becomes the focus of this paper and launched the main question, on how Indonesia manages to develop Papua within the frame of diversity from the perspective of national defense. The qualitative approach uses in-depth analysis based on the theory of national defense and theory of development to explain the emerging phenomena. Inquiries toward Papua-related negative issues found that they have the spirit and goal to separate Papua from Indonesia. Through this paper, it is revealed that a constructive development with the mentioned approach has gradually succeeded in building up minds and hearts of the Papuan people under nationalistic ties, as well as becoming the main bulwark for national Defence and eliminating separatism activities.

Politics of Local Government Administration and the Challenges of Primary Healthcare System in Nigeria
Authors: Awofeso Olu , Ogunne Kingsley
Published: September 2020

The degree of decentralization among federalist countries differs and this invariably demonstrates the dynamics of federalism in practice. The idea of federal system of government demands that there should be constitutional division of powers among the different tiers of government. To this end, in Nigeria, the federal, state and local government have their powers embedded in the constitution. However, the Nigerian constitution created much incertitude which allows local government to merely operate based on the reserved rights, disposition, prescription and discretion of the higher tiers of government. These constitutional uncertainties have no doubt created intergovernmental challenges and conflicts on areas of; tax jurisdiction, revenue allocation, fund transfers, illegal removal of government officials, autonomy, and inconsistent local government elections among others. Beyond these plaints which have been expressed in copious literature, this study tries to take further steps in analyzing how Nigeria’s intergovernmental status has impeded the operation and performance of primary healthcare system, which has invariably brought about poor health outcomes in the country, as evident in her pitiable health indicators. This work therefore establishes a nexus between local government decision space and primary healthcare systems in the country.

Authors: Nwinkol Barinaadaa , Kia Bariledum
Published: September 2020

Global quest for the prosecution of heinous crimes of concern to the international community as a whole especially genocide, war crime, crime against humanity, and the crime of aggression committed by individuals led to the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on July 1, 2002. The court had however, not performed optimally due to some challenges. This paper set out to discuss the militating factors in the execution of the court’s mandate. Using the realist theory, the rational behind the attitude of India, China, Russia and the United State (all major non-state parties) in sabotaging the court’s effort is succinctly assessed. After pointing out other factors affecting the court, its way out of some of these problems was laid bare. The paper concludes that the court must make concerted efforts to replicate criminal prosecution in other parts of the world other than Africa to earn the required credibility and legitimacy it sorts. At the same time, it would have to lobby to ensure that major non-state parties, especially the United States, etc. accede to the Rome statute.

Periurban housing: the genesis of a new urban identity: Case of two suburbs of Sfax city in Tunisia
Authors: SAADELLAOUI Wahiba , ELLOUMI Ali
Published: September 2020

The spontaneous periurban, peripheral, non-communal or anarchic spontaneous habitat in Tunisia is a recent phenomenon that began as early as independence and has continued to increase to the present day. This type of habitat is a new configuration of urban space in the sense that it expresses a set of signs and symbols that refers to a specific culture and a certain relationship that is established between social actors and their space.

In this context, the question could be asked: why is this type of habitat perceived as peripheral, illegal and marginalized? Couldn't it be the focus of a sensual daily life?

 The space of these outlying neighbourhoods is the place of interaction through which each inhabitant writes his scenario through his actions, values and daily practices to forge an urban identity both individual and collective. This is what we have seen from fieldwork in two suburbs of the city of Sfax: Ben Saida and Erryadh district where poverty and marginality were experienced as a creative experience.

The interactionism and sociology of everyday life thus constitute our theoretical framework through which we will use observation and audiovisual recording as investigative techniques to take a close look at the spontaneous behaviours of social actors and to deeply analyze their daily conversations of the populations of the outlying districts of Sfax.

The daily experience is therefore rich in meaning and symbols and it deserves a long time to make it the raw material of our sociological analysis.

One of the miracles of the Quran is its relevance in every era and time, in the early days of Islam the Arabs had different languages and dialects, even though the message of the Quran can still be conveyed and understood by all Arabs, this is because the Qur'an was revealed with sab’ah ahruf, this paper will discuss the history of ahruf sab’ah and their current existence. Using the literature study this paper concludes that the Quran was revealed with seven harf which were all true and derived from Allah, and during the ‘uthmānī leadership all manuscripts were uniformed with one harf, namely the Manuscripts of uthmānī and all other Manuscripts were burned, then the science of qirā’ah developed  which is a variant way to read the harf of the Quran, therefore the existence of ahruf sab’ah is no longer present, but the science of qirā’ah still exists today.

Humans are God's perfect creatures equipped with various abilities, not only physical but also spiritual. Humans are equipped with the potential and strength that can make it continue to exist in the world. The creation of humans to earth has a purpose as a leader. By using the literature study method it can be concluded that the position of humans as God's representatives on earth is equipped with various gifts so that humans can carry out their duties properly. The position that humans obtain is trust and devotion to God. Tafsīr Tanwīr mentions three potentials that exist in the human, namely the nature of shape, the nature of existence and the nature of potential. To become a leader on earth, humans must be able to develop a system of knowledge, social systems and artifact systems. Man must be fully aware that he is a being who has many statuses: as a superior person, as a servant of God, as a family member, as a member of society, as a citizen of the State, and as a citizen of the world
Ḥadith ‘Āishah fī Man’i al-Nisā’ Min al-Masājid; Niqāsh ‘Ulamā’ Bangladesh Ḥaulahu
Authors: Hasan Syed Mahmudul
Published: September 2020

The Narration of Aisyah (May Allah be pleased with her), is the main focus of the controversy among Bangladeshi scholars on the issue of women's prayer in the mosque. The reason for the dispute is that a group of them issued the ruling based on the phenomenon of the text, and the others explained the ruling of Hadith according to the common situation in the society. If the circumstances change, the ruling will change along with it, because the originality of the issue is permissible, that is proven from other texts. This research adopts an inductive method to survey the Prophetic hadiths that talk about the prayer of women in the Mosque in terms of permissibility and prohibition and analytical method to analyze the difference in opinion of Bangladeshi scholars related to this issue. The research finds that the ruling of Shari’ah is a process that is continuous and permanent. But in necessity and emergency, it has the notion of flexibility and explanation. In the issue of women’s presence in the mosque, they should be allowed if they abide by the suggestions of Prophet (s) and should not if they don’t. So, Prohibition is not from the prophet (s), but it is from their obedience to the ruling.
Hermeneutika Friedrich D.E. Schleiermacher sebagai Metode Tafsir Al-Qur’an (Kajian ayat ikhlāṣ; jilbāb; sayyārah; dan al-hudā)
Authors: Bary Shafwatul , Zakirman Zakirman
Published: September 2020

Text, reader, and author are three entities that are interlocked in a process of understanding text. For Friedrich D.E. Schleiermacher, someone can only understand the text he/she reads if he/she delves into the author's psychological experience and knows exactly the phrases that the author uses in writing text. Talking about reading the Qur’an as a text found by modern humans today which its existence as a text is revealed in the seventh century in the Arabic nation, it is a must for anyone to know the Arabic grammatical used by the Qur'an. This article discusses linkages between the language analysis formulated by Schleiermacher and the method of understanding the Qur'an which is today found in the text form with special reference to the four key terms discussed. Using the descriptive-analysis method this research finds that Schleiermacher’s hermeneutic becomes relevant to Quranic studies because it can enrich existing interpretive methods. The concept of psychological hermeneutics will contribute to the realm of asbāb al-nuzūl study and the necessity of proper faith. Whereas the grammatical will contribute to the realm of understanding Qur’an as ancient Arabic text.
Interpretasi Esoteris Jihad dalam Tafsīr Ibn 'Arabi (Ta'wīlāt al-Kasyani)
Authors: Darmawan Darmawan
Published: September 2020

Reading the Qur'an which is limited to outward level is basically contrary to Islamic scientific traditions which give great attention to the inner aspects. As a result, the breadth of key concepts of Qur’anic teachings, including the teachings of jihad, became narrow and dry. That will trigger the issue of religious social pathology in the form of tolerance crisis, radicalism even terrorism. So an effort is needed to bring back Sufi interpretation of the verses of jihad that focuses on the inner dimension and not negate the outward dimension. The method used in this research is maudhu'i and descriptive-analytical interpretation. This study finds that jihad is an effort to encourage the soul to endure bodily difficulties and to oppose lust in everything that aims to pick up self-perfection. In Tafsīr Ibn 'Arabi, there are three meanings of jihad esoterically; First, jihad is an attempt to eliminate the reprehensible traits which brings up a concept of jihad: “the key to the success of jihād fī sabīlillah which is fanā bi kulliyāt or total self-annihilation”. Second, jihad is an effort towards maqām of human spiritual perfection which brings up a rule of jihad: “the higher or the more perfect a person is, the greater his jihad”. Third, jihad is an attempt to sacrifice wealth, body and soul. This sacrifice is a result of fulfillment of the above principles of jihad
Tafsir Al-Qur’an dari dan untuk Orang Sunda: Ayat Suci Lenyepaneun Karya Moh. E. Hasim (1916-2009)
Authors: Rohmana Jajang A
Published: September 2020

This article examines the peculiarities of one of Sundanese tafsirs or Qur’anic commentaries in West Java, Moh. E. Hasim’s Ayat Suci Lenyepaneun. Using discourse analysis approach, this study illustrates how the author arranges his interpretation in line with Sundanese culture and socio-religious background in modern Indonesia. There are some characteristics of Hasim’s Lenyepaneun: nuances of Sundanese literature and nature, Sundanese daily stories and his response to social-religious discourse. All these characteristics are significant in shaping the horizon of interpretation that feels more nyunda (Sundanese) as well as current response in his period. This study proves that the Sundanese tafsirs is not only related to deliver messages of God, but also associated with the functionalization of Sundanese as language of sense (rasa) to be more pervasive into hearts and minds. Lenyepaneun represents an effort of Sundanese domestication and bridging a gap between Arabic and Sundanese. This study also reinforces an illustration of how the text of Qur’anic commentary could serve as a social commentary. It could be one example of how local Qur’anic commentary in Indonesia could be a guardian of local Islam without leaving its relevance to the modernity.

Many South African educational institutions are adopting learning management systems (LMS) into their daily teaching and learning practice. The Western Cape Education Department piloted Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle), an LMS for improving teaching and learning. The objective of the research reported on here was to determine whether Moodle improved Grade 10 learners’ conceptual understanding of the topic, functions, in mathematics. The research investigated two classes; one dependent upon a traditional chalk-and-talk teaching method (control), and another exposed to Moodle (experimental). It was found that learners constructed their own knowledge by drawing on resources embedded in Moodle and framed within a Social Constructivist theory. A hybrid e-learning framework was deployed; learners acquired knowledge by interacting with computers. Interaction was monitored and results were recorded using online surveys and tests. A quasi-experimental design was employed to compare the groups. The comparisons were statistically analysed. Results showed that the functionalities within the Moodle LMS were instrumental in improving conceptual understanding of mathematical functions.
