Published: June 2022

The study discusses the indicator of customer loyalty of Islamic banks according to Griffin's perspective and several relevant studies. The problems solved in this study are 1) what is the indicator of customer loyalty of Islamic banks according to Griffin? 2) what is the indicator of customer loyalty of Islamic banks according to some relevant studies? and 3) how is the comparison of Islamic bank customer loyalty indicators according to Griffin and other relevant studies? Based on the theoretical assumption, a customer is considered loyal if he/she makes regular purchase in a certain time interval. This study utilizes descriptive qualitative research with a library research approach. Deduction and comparative are done in analysis technique. Griffin’s theory focuses on behavioral and attitudinal approach. Meanwhile, other relevant research studies emphasize more on physical things, the availability of banking facilities and infrastructure. They also classified the loyalty into affective, conative, and action loyalty. There is a difference in Griffin’s theory and other studies, that customer loyalty is influenced by maqâs{id al-sharî'ah. It means that the customer loyalty is determined by satisfactory level referring to sharia values.
Los centros de abasto popular en la ciudad neoliberal
Authors: Salazar Bertha Lilia , Ramo Díaz Rodrigo , Vázquez Honorato Luis Arturo , Picanço Bentes María Dulce
Published: June 2022

En sintonía con los procesos de transformación del espacio público en las ciudades contemporáneas, donde la hegemonía del capitalismo neoliberal altera y desnaturaliza la realidad en la que nos encontramos, el presente artículo aborda la situación de los centros de abasto popular a través de los años, partiendo de estudios que reflejan diversas perspectivas y experiencias de los investigadores.

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es evidenciar los procesos que aquejan a los mercados tradicionales en múltiples escalas del espacio global, derivados del conjunto de estrategias y soluciones para modificar la estructura e imagen urbana, y que se convierten en medios de mercantilización de las ciudades como la única respuesta a las problemáticas urbanas, pero que ocultan las desigualdades socio-espaciales, la expansión de la pobreza, la exclusión y la violencia urbana que éstas generan.

La investigación de tipo exploratoria se sustenta en un análisis histórico-comparativo, mediante el cual se revisan varios casos localizados en distintos lugares, donde los procesos de intervención urbana y arquitectónica han suscitado efectos notorios, principalmente en materia de gentrificación simbólica, comercial y turística. De esta manera, se determinan escalas de análisis con la finalidad de esclarecer las coyunturas existentes.

Como conclusión, se evidencian las situaciones comunes en el análisis de dichas experiencias y cómo éstas son moldeadas desde las ideologías neoliberales. A partir de lo anterior, se pretende reflexionar y repensar los procesos de reestructuración urbana y reconversión de los centros de abasto popular, particularmente aquellos casos en los que se presentan impactos negativos para el bienestar social.
Les hôpitaux du Maghreb face au COVID-19 : Etude de la participation des parties prenantes au processus de décision
Authors: Nassim Guennaz
Published: June 2022

Le modèle du « garbage can » a fait l’objet de plusieurs études, il est associé aux organisations de type anarchie organisée, à l’image des hôpitaux. Cet article s’intéresse à l’influence des parties prenantes externes sur ce modèle décisionnel, sujet de recherche qui a été peu abordé par la littérature. Compte tenu du contexte d’interaction des hôpitaux avec des parties intéressées externes, nous visons à comprendre les articulations exactes se déroulant dans le processus de décision au sein de ces structures de santé. La crise sanitaire mondiale due au COVID-19 a mis les hôpitaux au centre des opérations, et a été marquée par une multitude d’interventions d’acteurs externes, cette situation va constituer notre contexte d’étude. Pour réaliser cette recherche une étude longitudinale de trois hôpitaux en Algérie qui s’appuie sur cinquante-trois entretiens permet de dresser un cadre théorique explicatif. Nous apportons une description processuelle en situation de crise, en considérant le rôle des acteurs en présence. Le processus de décision est décrit en deux phases : (1) une phase d’intelligence où se déroule une coproduction des séquences de décisions entre les hôpitaux et les parties prenantes de l’autorité publique ;(2) une deuxième phase d’interaction où le processus se déroule selon le modèle de la poubelle. Nous identifions aussi les rationalités mises en jeu dans une approche holistique du processus étudié : la rationalité limitée et la rationalité contextuelle.

The garbage can model has been the subject of several studies; it is associated with organizations of the organized anarchy type, such as hospitals. This article focuses on the influence of external stakeholders on this decisionmaking model, a research topic that has been little addressed in the literature. Given the context of the interaction of hospitals with external interested parties, we aim to understand the exact articulations taking place in the decision-making process within these health structures. The global health crisis due to COVID-19 has put hospitals at the center of operations and has been marked by a multitude of interventions by external actors, this situation will constitute our context of the study. To carry out this research, a longitudinal study of three hospitals in Algeria which is based on fifty-three interviews makes it possible to draw up an explanatory theoretical framework. We provide a procedural description of a crisis situation, considering the role of the actors involved. The decision-making process is described in two phases: (1) an intelligence phase where a co-production of decision sequences takes place between hospitals and public authority stakeholders; (2) a second interaction phase where the process takes place according to the model of the garbage can. We also identify the nationalities involved in a holistic approach to the process studied: limited rationality and contextual rationality.

Authors: Letsolo Itumeleng G. , Wanjiru Nderitu B. , Gaiku Peter
Published: June 2022

This study seeks to investigate the influence of the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) budget allocation on the performance of socio-economic empowerment projects. The overarching theoretical framework is the resource-based view theory. The study adopted quantitative approaches to gather an in-depth understanding of the research variables and to allow a researcher to make informed recommendations using both words and numbers. The research site for the study is Women and Law Southern Africa -Lesotho. The target population of 68 project team members. A census method was adopted and the researcher used questionnaires to collect data from 68 respondents. To test reliability the research tools were piloted before actual data collection. Further, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to estimate instrument reliability using the pilot responses and it returned 0.818 which was fairly high. Content and face validity were adopted to test instrument validity. Proper authorizations were secured from relevant bodies to conduct the study and SPSS Version 23 data analysis software was deployed to analyze the collected data. The researcher further analyzed the data through descriptive analysis with means and standard deviation to measure central tendencies and dispersion of the data. The general findings of the study indicated that the response was higher than a composite mean of 4.37 with a standard deviation of 0.745, implying that the study objective; of monitoring budget allocation positively influences the performance of the socio-economic empowerment project. Findings implied that the team should, as part of best practice, maintain the M&E budget separately and promote transparency by issuing the M&E budget performance reports. The study made recommendations for improving M&E budgeting. The study suggests comparative studies to be conducted on other socio-economic empowerment projects and the usage of hybrid approaches of qualitative and quantitative approaches to gather as much information as possible. The study findings conformed to the principles of resource-based view theory that advocates for adequate allocation of resources to enable the monitoring and evaluation team to execute the activities according to plan.

Published: June 2022

The objectives of this study were to explain the factors behind the high consumption of imported food products and to identify their contribution to household food security in Bukavu. The use of observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation allowed access to data, the analysis of which was based on both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The findings from this study revealed that 56% of households consume more imported products because they are the most available; 26% consume them because of quantity and 15% because of quality. However, the survey revealed that local products are more preferred (77%) by households. As for the feeling of being food secure with imported food, 71% of households admit that importing food is an alternative to the unavailability of local products, but does not give them the feeling of being food secure. In order to achieve real and guaranteed food security, the respondents generally suggest reviving the agro-pastoral sector by reforming the rural production system.

 

Expliquer les facteurs de la consommation élevée des produits alimentaires importés et relever leur apport à la sécurité alimentaire des ménages à Bukavu ont été les objectifs de cette étude. Le recours à l’observation, l’entretien, le questionnaire et la documentation a permis l’accès aux données dont l’analyse a articulé le qualitatif et le quantitatif. Il est ressorti de cette étude que 56% de ménages consomment plus les produits importés parce que ces produits sont les plus disponibles ; 26% les consomment pour raison de quantité et 15% pour raison de qualité. Cependant, l’enquête a révélé que les produits locaux sont plus préférés (77%) des ménages). Quant au sentiment d’être en sécurité alimentaire à partir des aliments importés, 71% des ménages avouent que l’importation des aliments est une alternative à la disponibilité des produits locaux, mais ne leur donne pas le sentiment d’être en sécurité alimentaire. En vue d’une sécurité alimentaire réelle et garantie, les enquêtés suggèrent globalement la relance du secteur agropastoral impliquant la réforme du système de la production rurale.
National Dialogue of Ethiopia: is it on the right track?
Authors: Andualem Dehinasew Shemelis
Published: June 2022

National dialogues are nationally owned political processes made when there happen profound political crisis that the existing government of a given country cannot solve. Ethiopia too is on the process of conducting national dialogue. This paper analyses the ongoing process of the dialogue against national dialogue principles that the United States Institute of Peace, Berghof Foundation, and others use to predict the success or the failure of a national dialogue. The data were collected from secondary sources such as books, televisions channels, websites, and so on. Then the collected data were qualitatively analyzed to evaluate the process of the dialogue. After analyzing the views of political elites, and other concerned citizens of the country towards the actual process of Ethiopia’s national dialogue in terms of the principles used as yardsticks, the paper concludes that the ongoing process of the planned national dialogue of Ethiopia is not on the right way to achieve the desired goal.
Post-flood waste characterization test in the Municipality of Athiémé
Authors: Vifan Eric Sebo
Published: June 2022

In the municipality of Athiémé, recurrent and cyclical flood are serious generators of waste. These waste referred as post-flood waste, as it is not the subject of any information or study, are not consider neither the authorities responsible for the management of household waste nor the crisis management unit flooding in the municipality of Athiémé. This study was initiated to induce awareness among the various actors whose this responsibility fall. To make success the study, the methodological approach used proposes a characterization of post-flood waste. This characterization is done in two stages consisting of a typological characterization and a mass estimation of post-flood waste. The typological characterization relied mainly on the material goods and dwellings of the inhabitants, located in the geographical influence of the flood. As for the mass estimation of post-flood waste, it has been possible by multiplying the number of issues exposed to flood risk by the quantity of waste produced per unit of stakes, the issues here being the material goods and the buildings of inhabitants. The application of this methodological approach shows that in the Commune of Athiémé, post-flood waste consists mainly of waste resulting from the partial or total destruction of dwellings (48%), furniture waste (33%) and mixed waste (19%). All of this waste, according to the magnitude of the floods, gives an average mass which varies from 714,846 kg (ie 714,846 tons) with the big flood of 2010 to 139,672 kg (or 139,672 tons) in 2016. This colossal mass post-flood waste, although reused at 38% for waste resulting from the destruction of the building, must be taken into account by the authorities at various levels in terms of their management. In this perspective, suggestions were made for their upstream estimation, with well-defined parameters, data and tools.

Published: June 2022

Une enquête transversale selon un échantillonnage randomisé à plusieurs degrés a été menée en juillet 2020 à Kinshasa. Cette étude auprès des hommes de 15 à 49 ans visait à déterminer la prévalence de la consommation des aphrodisiaques, identifier les produits les plus consommés, les principales raisons et les facteurs associés à l’utilisation. Plus de la moitié de 713 répondants avaient déjà utilisé des aphrodisiaques au cours de leur vie, avec comme principales raisons l’obtention des rapports sexuels prolongés et l’augmentation de l’excitation. L’âge, la fréquence des rapports sexuels et le district de résidence sont les trois facteurs associés à cette consommation. Les hommes de 35 à 49 ans sont 2,53 fois [IC 95 % : 1,20 à 5,31] plus susceptibles de consommer les aphrodisiaques que ceux de 15 à 24 ans. Les participants ayant eu deux rapports sexuels dans les quatre semaines précédant l’enquête courent 4,98 fois [IC 95 % : 3,06 à 8,09] le risque de consommer des aphrodisiaques que ceux qui ont un seul rapport sexuel (la référence). De trois à cinq rapports sexuels le risque était de 10,26 fois [IC 95 % : 6,21 à 16,94] plus que la référence, et à partir de 6 rapports le risque était 8,54 fois [IC 95 % : 4,51 à 16,15]. À part le sildénafil, des ingrédients à base des plantes imbues des boissons alcoolisées sont plus consommés dans un but récréatif. Une campagne d’information et sensibilisation est recommandée pour contrôler au maximum le risque de consommation abusive des aphrodisiaques.

A cross-sectional survey using a multi-stage randomised sampling was conducted in July 2020 in Kinshasa. This study among men aged 15-49 years aimed to determine the prevalence of aphrodisiac use, identify the most commonly used products, the main reasons and factors associated with use. More than half of the 713 respondents had used aphrodisiacs in their lifetime, with the main reasons being to obtain prolonged sexual intercourse and to increase arousal. Age, frequency of sex and district of residence were the three factors associated with use. Men aged 35-49 were 2.53 times [95% CI: 1.20-5.31] more likely to use aphrodisiacs than those aged 15-24. Participants who had two sexual encounters in the four weeks prior to the survey were 4.98 times [95% CI: 3.06 to 8.09] more likely to use aphrodisiacs than those who had only one sexual encounter (the reference). From three to five sexual encounters the risk was 10.26 times [95% CI: 6.21 to 16.94] higher than the reference, and from 6 encounters the risk was 8.54 times [95% CI: 4.51 to 16.15]. Apart from sildenafil, herbal ingredients imbibed in alcoholic beverages are consumed more for recreational purposes. An information and awareness campaign is recommended to control the risk of abuse of aphrodisiacs as much as possible.

Authors: Ahmad Muntaser S , Suardi Nursakinah , Shukri Ahmad , Ashikin Nik Ab Razak Nik Noor , Makhamrah Osama , Mohammad Hjouj
Published: June 2022

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The objective of this study is to detect the various stages of HCC through the utilization of a dynamic liver phantom with MRI. Methods: Three liver phantoms composed of different gelatin concentrations (2.5%wt, 4.0%wt, and 5.0%wt) and fixed agar concentrations were used. The HCC samples consisted of agarose and glycerol and were of varying sizes (0.5,1.0, and 2.0cm). The chemical, mechanical, electrical, and imaging properties of the phantoms were examined. The consistency of T1 and T2 signal intensities over a six-week period was studied. In addition, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI was used to detect the HCC samples through the Dixon sequence. Results: The gelatin concentration of 5%wt was the most stable in regard to density, exhibited the lowest average compressive strength of 0.22MPa, and had the lowest electrical conductivity over the course of a six-week period. During this time, an increase in the T1 signal intensity was observed as the gelatin concentration in the sample increased. On the contrary, the least change in T1 and T2 was noted in the first sample with the 2.5% wt of gelatin. The HCC samples simulated the typical appearance of HCC, with the minimum sample size the body coil could detect being 1cm. Conclusion: Typical Enhancement patterns of HCC were simulated under MRI.
The Impact of Covid-19 Response Policies on Vulnerable Migrant Workers and Victims of Trafficking in Cambodia
Authors: Keo Bunthea , Abdelhamid Amira , Kasper Eric
Published: June 2022

To date, the Government of Cambodia has issued at least 2,216 policies in response to Covid-19. These have largely been directed at limiting the spread of the Covid-19 within Cambodia, with clear attempts to mitigate the burden on economically- and socially-vulnerable groups. This study explored the ways in which the policy response to Covid-19 has been experienced by vulnerable migrant workers and people vulnerable to trafficking in persons. We interviewed seven social workers and independent experts, four migrant workers, and nine survivors of trafficking in order to gather evidence about gaps in the policies’ abilities to protect people and to identify mechanisms by which they impacted vulnerability. We find that, while the policies have attempted to provide protection to vulnerable groups, the majority of our respondents were not able to access it effectively. Workers in informal sectors have been particularly impacted by work stoppages since they have less bargaining power with employers and are much less able to access government unemployment support. Migrant workers trapped abroad faced hardships and discrimination, with many making risky journeys back to Cambodia or losing their regular migrant status. Border closure policies meant that many people were not able to safely return to Cambodia or travel for their livelihoods. This resulted in an increased reliance on brokers to cross borders illegally and to attempt to find work, which in turn increased risks of exploitation and trafficking at the very time when officials and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) were least able to monitor and identify violations.
The Trend Of “De-Risking” In International Finance and Its Impact on Small Island Developing States
Authors: Quak Evert-jan
Published: June 2022

This rapid review synthesises the literature from academic sources, knowledge institutions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and trusted independent media outlets on the challenges small island development states (SIDS) face when they lose correspondent banking relationships (CBRs). The rapid review concludes that, although the loss of CBRs is a global phenomenon, regions with SIDS, such as the Pacific and Caribbean, have seen the highest rates of withdrawals. During the last decade, local and regional banks in SIDS have lost and continue to lose bank accounts at large global banks to a critical level, sometimes having only one or none CBRs with banks in major economies, such as the Unites States, the United Kingdom, the European Union or Australia. This means that local banks have reduced access to financial services related to cross-border financial transactions, impacting on remittances and trade finance.
Anticipating Disaster: The ‘Urf Perspective of Rebo Wekasan Ceremony in Kudus, Central Java
Authors: Rosyid Moh , Lina Kushidayati
Published: June 2022

Rebo Wekasan is a popular practice among Indonesian Muslims, including those who live in Kudus, Central Java. This article discusses the practice of Rebo Wekasan in Indonesia generally, Kudus in specific, and the rite of drinking water salamun, as well as the practice of Rebo Wekasan from the perspective of 'urf. The anthropological approach is used to understand the tradition of Rebo Wekasan while the observation took place in 2021. Additionally, we also collected relevant documents including pictures and newspaper articles of Rebo Wekasan from 2018 to 2019, and interviews with 8 resource persons ranging from takmir (caretaker of the mosque), ceremonial committee, village officials, and visitors. Rebo Wekasan rite in Kudus is done by performing sholat tolak bala (prayer for anticipating any calamities) and drinking salamun (blessing-infused) water. People who attend the ceremony believe it based on religious belief and classic text showing that the last Wednesday in Safar month is the day of disaster advent. They also believe in the Javanese value that water is a medium of spiritual cleansing. In the perspective of 'urf (custom), Rebo Wekasan is deemed to fulfill aspects of ‘urf belonging to the category of 'urf shahih (good custom) because it contains noble values and is sourced from religious teaching.
Optimalisasi Sentra Ayam Ras Petelur melalui Pendekatan OVOP (One Village One Product) di Desa Larangan Dalam, Kecamatan Larangan, Kabupaten Pamekasan
Authors: Tamam Badrut , Efendi Agik Nur
Published: June 2022

The development of the village economic sector using the OVOP method is a concept that the government, especially The Indonesian Ministry of Industry and Trade, is currently promoting. To support this program, we tried to develop the product of the community in Larangan Dalam village so that it can become a superior local commodity, which is the egg’s laying hens. This activity was carried out during the program of KPM-MDR IAIN Madura 2021. There found about 20 points of laying hends cages scattered in Larangan Dalam village that we consider it worthy to improve for the sake of village economic advancement. We used the PAR (participatory action research) method to develop this program by first giving socialization to the head of the village and the apparatus regarding the OVOP potential of the egg’s laying hens center. Afterward, we turned to give socialization of enhancement production to several farmers who happened to experience declining production and turnover while introducing high-quality egg marketing by using social media like Instagram and Shopee targetting the upper-middle-class society. The expected result of this activity is to improve the willingness of various related sectors while fixing the current condition of the egg-laying hens business so that the OVOP concept in Larangan Dalam Village can be soon realized.

[Pengembangan sektor ekonomi desa menggunakan metode OVOP merupakan konsep yang saat ini tengah digalakkan pemerintah Indonesia, khususnya Kementrian Perindustrian dan Perdagangan. Untuk mendukung program tersebut, kami berusaha mengembangkan produk lokal masyarakat Desa Larangan Dalam agar bisa menjadi produk unggulan. Kegiatan tersebut dilaksanakan dalam rangka KPM-MDR IAIN Madura Tahun 2021. Produk yang dimaksud adalah telur ayam ras yang tersebar di 20 unit kandang di seluruh penjuru wilayah Desa Larangan Dalam. Potensi tersebut dianggap layak diperhitungkan demi mewujudkan desa yang mandiri secara ekonomi. Kami menggunakan metode PAR (Participatory Action Research) untuk mengembangkan industri ini. Kegiatan dimulai dengan melakukan sosialisasi kepada kepala dan perangkat desa mengenai potensi OVOP ayam petelur di Desa Larangan Dalam, sosialisasi peningkatan produksi kepada beberapa peternak yang mengalami penurunan produksi dan omset serta perluasan cakupan pemasaran telur ayam kualitas super dengan menggunakan media sosial Instagram dan Shopee untuk menyasar kalangan menengah ke atas. Hasil yang diharapkan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk memicu semangat berbagai sektor serta memperbaiki kondisi yang ada dalam sektor sentra ayam petelur agar nantinya konsep OVOP sentra ayam petelur di Desa Larangan Dalam dapat diwujudkan].

Human and Nonhuman Refugeeism and Refúgĭa —The Cases of Nadine Gordimer’s “The Ultimate Safari” and Kruger National Park
Authors:   The Criticism and Theory Society of Korea, Choi Eunjoo
Published: June 2022

This paper focuses on the Kruger National Park in South Africa, the background of Nadine Gordimer’s novel “The Ultimate Safari”(1991), and how the park turned from a historical site of Apartheid to an ecological one.
Human and non-human migration, once mainly caused by conflicts and civil wars, are increasingly the result of habitat destruction, environmental pollution, and climate change. Although the movement of flora and fauna is noticeable, the constant movement of humans has been neglected. As a result, immobility between continents was taken for granted by society, and the overall human and non-human mobility was interpreted as ominous and negative. Also, the establishment of borders and adherence to ethnocentrism and the nation-state stems from political and power relationships that incite migration with instability. Therefore, gender, race, ethnicity, and nationality work unevenly. However, humans and non-humans have a longer history of migration than imagined, and it is a natural cycle. It is rather a sign of hope to decide to move in a situation of deprivation when being ousted from one’s home. Many species die due to climate change, but finding shelter even after suffering a displacement demonstrates the capacity to move.
Unlike enclaves, which alienate adjacent regions or are alienated from ones, “Refúgĭa,” refers to regions where elements of modern flora and fauna might have survived glacial periods with greatly reduced numbers and distributions.
Even now, “Refúgĭa” continues to occur in many places, including Kruger National Park. In the background of losing domicile and increasing refugeeism worldwide, the move to Refúgĭa should not just mean places, but should lead to the act of creating controversial places across major connections between multiple “sharing” experiences.
Cultural Emergence of Affective Images: Montage of Indifferent Faces and Still Movements in Media Arts
Authors:   The Criticism and Theory Society of Korea, Nam Soo Young
Published: June 2022

This study is an attempt to overlap the characteristics of the affective image that appeared at the turn of the century around 1900 with the composition of film art. In particular, the focus was on the expressionless face and still movements as shared characteristics between the affective image and the elements of montage. While the existing film studies have often compared film mainly with literature and occasionally with theater among adjacent arts, this study focuses more on body-centered arts, such as dance and sculpture, which deal with senses of rhythm and formative gestures. Along the line, I try to suggest how montage is a new way of perception rather than thought, which, in turn, is to reconsider the physical properties of excessive images that are easily overlooked in the analysis of cinematic structure of meaning. Furthermore, introducing the sense of touch is an attempt to expand and understand the composition and experience of film meaning, differentiated from the mainstream discourses centering on the visuality and transparency. Tactile acceptance now attracts attention as a synaesthetic element that can be discussed along with visuality. Such discussion may explain various arts of alternative perception of today that are experienced in a distracted way through dispersed media and platforms. This study can be one starting point to explore in earnest the interface between the film/media art and other arts that use the body as a means of expression.

Como contribuições destacam-se: discussão dos recursos informacionais e da representação documental como objeto da Ciência da Informação, do graffiti como manifestação cultural, da efemeridade da arte de rua, com destaque para os graffiti, e da consagração de recursos informacionais como bens culturais materiais.
The fate of medical and humanitarian education in Russia
Authors: Moiseev Vyacheslav I. , Moiseeva Oksana N.
Published: June 2022

The article points to various alarming tendencies of dehumanization of modern medical education in Russia and in the world. Apart from economical and political solutions, the article suggests to address the most fundamental reason for negative attitude to humanitarian subjects in modern biomedical education the struggle between reductionist and holistic worldviews. While modern biomedicine is increasingly dominated by an increasingly rigid reductionism, which reduces living things to non-living things at the level of atoms and molecules, humanities knowledge is organically characterized by a holistic approach to the human being, i. e., holistic foundations and principles. The split of these two directions projects itself in the split of basic medical subjects and humanities disciplines. The authors see the only radical way to overcome this schism as a transformation of biomedical knowledge itself in the direction of holistic reductionism a synthesis of holism and reductionism. This integrative type of knowledge will project itself into a fundamentally different, allied, relationship between the more reductionist and holistic strands of a single integrated biomedicine.
Euthanasia and palliative care in pulmonology
Authors: Yakovleva Elena V. , Borodulina Elena A.
Published: June 2022

Background: Currently, euthanasia is officially allowed only in a number of countries, in most countries, as well as in the Russian Federation, it is prohibited by law. However, in clinical practice, there are a large number of incurable patients who experience intractable pain, so the problem of euthanasia is relevant.
Aim: to analyze the current state of the problem of euthanasia and palliative care in pulmonology.
Material and methods: review of domestic and foreign literature on the problem of euthanasia over the past 10 years has been carried out. Literature search was carried out using the e-library and PubMed databases.
Results: We present a medical and philosophical perspective. Currently, euthanasia (Greek "good death") is a way to quickly and painlessly die if there is a serious illness that is incurable, suffering and pain. The best and perhaps the only alternative to euthanasia is palliative care. In pulmonology, palliative care focuses on early detection of respiratory failure, dyspnea, fear and pain relief. The effective organization of palliative care in respiratory medicine depends on the well-coordinated work of pulmonologists, physiotherapists, nurses, and psychologists.
Conclusion: The problem of euthanasia to date still remains controversial from both medical and ethical points of view. The adoption of euthanasia by law may be a deterrent to governments from funding research into new treatments. The risk of abuse of euthanasia in order to obtain organs for transplantation or to get rid of seriously ill burdensome relatives cannot be ruled out. It is necessary to consider the issue of introducing additional educational cycles on the issues of modern achievements in palliative medicine, technical means of rehabilitation and the peculiarities of their use in patients with various diseases in the terminal stage in the training of doctors and nurses.

Published: June 2022

Pandemi Covid-19 yang melanda Indonesia sangat berdampak terhadap usaha UMKM terutama yang memiliki produk tidak tahan lama. UMKM produk khas olahan hasil laut yang berada di Kelurahan Sukolilo Baru merupakan salah satunya. Hal ini disebabkan karena UMKM hanya menjual secara konvensional yaitu menunggu konsumen datang dan membeli. Karena penyimpanan dan pengemasan produk belum baik maka produk yang tidak terjual mengalami kerusakan, berakibat semakin memperparah kerugian. Maka kegiatan abdimas ini bertujuan untuk memperpanjang usia produk melalui packaging yang baik dan untuk mengembalikan penjualan yang hilang dilakukan branding produk maupun destinasi.
El impacto del derecho internacional en los ordenamientos jurídicos internos de América Latina. El acceso a la información pública y sus alcances
Authors: Negro Alvarado Dante M.
Published: June 2022

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo establecer el correcto alcance del derecho de acceso a la información pública a través de la conceptualización de sus elementos fundamentales. Un aspecto importante será entender la correcta aplicación del principio de máxima publicidad (eje central sobre el que se asienta esta temática) en armonía con el régimen de excepciones tal como está definido en la Ley Modelo Interamericana 2.0. En efecto, el derecho de acceso a la información pública no es ilimitado. Existen circunstancias en las cuales pueden establecerse restricciones al mismo. Debido a que todos los derechos fundamentales tienen la misma jerarquía, ante una colisión de los mismos la solución no es hacer simplemente prevalecer unos sobre otros, sino resolverla sobre la base de la técnica de la ponderación. En ese sentido, la Ley Modelo 2.0 intenta dos cosas: dar el mayor alcance posible al derecho de acceso a la información pública, garantizando la adecuada entrega de la información de tal forma que sea útil y sirva a su propósito esencial, y garantizar la efectiva concordancia en la aplicación de los diferentes intereses y derechos que pueden quedar involucrados en una situación concreta.
Akurasi Perhitungan Gerhana Matahari dengan Data Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat
Authors: Maghfuri Alfan
Published: June 2022

Abstract:

Some editions of the book Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat published by Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia do not use solar eclipse predictions resulting from calculations using these data. This book actually takes data on solar eclipses from NASA. In fact, if observed from the books referred to by the book Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat, there is a way to use the Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat data to produce a prediction of a solar eclipse. This is what raises doubts about the accuracy of solar eclipse predictions resulting from calculations with the Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat data. This paper aims to determine the accuracy of solar eclipse predictions produced using Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat data. From several comparisons, it appears that the prediction of a solar eclipse resulting from calculations using Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat data has a large enough difference with the reality of the eclipse as well as with predictions from NASA.

 

Abstrak:

Beberapa edisi buku Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat yang diterbitkan oleh Kementerian Agama RI tidak menggunakan prediksi gerhana Matahari yang dihasilkan dari perhitungan menggunakan data tersebut. Buku ini justru mengambil data-data gerhana Matahari dari NASA. Padahal jika diamati dari buku-buku yang dirujuk oleh buku Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat ini, terdapat cara pemanfaatan data Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat untuk menghasilkan prediksi gerhana Matahari. Hal inilah yang memunculkan keraguan terhadap keakuratan prediksi gerhana Matahari yang dihasilkan dari perhitungan dengan data Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat tersebut. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui akurasi dari prediksi gerhana Matahari yang dihasilkan menggunakan data Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat. Dari beberapa perbandingan yang dilakukan, terlihat bahwa prediksi gerhana Matahari yang dihasilkan dari perhitungan menggunakan data Ephemeris Hisab Rukyat mempunyai selisih yang cukup besar dengan realitas terjadinya gerhana maupun dengan prediksi dari NASA.
Problematika Awal Waktu Shubuh antara Fiqih dan Astronomi
Authors: Ardi Unggul Suryo
Published: June 2022

The issue of astronomical twilight as a sign of the time the early entry of the morning prayer, is inseparable from the problems between the perspective of fiqh and the perspective of astronomy. Astronomical twilight which is a benchmark as an early marker of Shubuh prayer, must be confronted with the dawn of the kazib which is a false twilight. This concern arises because if there is a slight mistake in distinguishing it, then it is not valid to pray a Muslim's body because it is not yet in time. On the other hand the relevance of the concept of the astronomical twilight in the perspectives of fiqh and astronomy sometimes clash. The result can cause confusion for ordinary people who do not understand that science. This is based on differences in the height of the sun. In its application, there are those who use the criteria -18o to -13o as the sun height value, but some use -19o and -20o. This is caused by several factors, namely natural factors, height of the place, weather conditions, air and light pollution, as well as factors that arise from the tool or the person observing it. Of the many factors, the greatest influence on differences in sun height criteria is the height of the place.

 

Problematika fajar sebagai tanda waktu masuknya awal shalat Shubuh, tidak lepas dari persoalan antara prespektif fiqih dan prespektif astronomi. Fajar sadik yang merupakan patokan sebagai penanda awal waktu shalat subuh, harus dihadapkan dengan adanya fajar kazib yang merupakan fajar palsu. Kehawatiran ini muncul karena jika salah sedikit saja dalam membedakanya, maka tidak sah shalat shubuh seorang muslim karena belum masuk waktunya. Di sisi lain relevansi konsep fajar sadik dalam prespektif fiqih dan astronomi terkadang berbenturan. Akibatnya dapat menimbulkan kebingungan bagi masyarakat awam yang tidak memahami ilmu tersebut. Hal ini didasari karena adanya perbedaan terkait ketinggian matahari. Dalam penerapanya, ada yang menggunakan kriteria -18o sampai -13o sebagai nilai ketinggian Mataharinya, namun ada pula yang menggunakan -19o dan -20o. Hal ini di sebabkan oleh beberapa faktor yaitu faktor alam, tinggi tempat, kondisi cuaca, polusi udara dan cahaya, maupun faktor yang muncul dari alat maupun orang yang mengobservasinya. Dari sekian banyak faktor, yang paling besar pengaruhnya terhadap perbedaan kriteria ketinggian matahari ini adalah ketinggian tempat.
Sermaye Piyasası Enflasyon Teorisinin Analizi: Bankacılık Sektörü Üzerinden Türkiye Örneği(Analysis of Capital Market Theory of Inflation: The Case of Turkey through the Banking Sector)
Authors: Özkan Özgür
Published: June 2022

Amaç –Bu çalışma Toporowski (1999)’nin çalışmasından yola çıkarak Türk bankacılık sektörünün hisse fiyatlarının hareketi ve bu hareketin sektör karlılığı ile ilişkisi analiz edilmiştir.Yöntem –Çalışmada analiz yöntemi olarak ARDL kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca, BİST mali sektörün fiyat eğilimini örmek amacıyla Trend Analizine başvurulmuştur. Bulgular –Elde edilen bulgular sermaye piyasası enflasyon teorisini destekleyecek niteliktedir. Trend Analizi bulgusu da ARDL bulgularını desteklemektedir.Tartışma –2020 Kovid-19 salgınının oluşturduğu olumsuz ekonomik koşullara karşı Fed başta olmak üzere rezerv para birimine sahip ülkelerin uyguladıkları parasal genişleme stratejileri, mal piyasasında istenilen genişlemeyi ya da harcama akımını yaratmasa da varlık piyasalarının aşırı büyümesine yol açmıştır. Varlık piyasalarındaki bu genişleme şirketlerin faaliyetlerinden ve bilançolarından kopuk biçimde gerçekleşmiş, zarar eden firmaların bile hisse fiyatları tavan yapmıştır. Toporwski (1999) tarafından geliştirilen sermaye piyasası enflasyon teorisi bu durumu açıklamaktadır. Teoriye göre finansal piyasalara aşırı fon girişleri finansal market enflasyonuna yol açarak hisse fiyatlarındaki artışı şirketlerin bilanço koşullarından ayrıştırmıştır.
Toksik Liderliğin Örgütsel Sessizliğe Etkisi(The Effect of Toxic Leadership on Organisational Silence)
Authors: Turhan Özge
Published: June 2022

Amaç –Bu çalışmanın amacıtoksikliderliğin örgütsel sessizliğe olan etkisini tespit etmektir.Yöntem –Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu mavi ve beyaz yakalı işgörenler oluşturmaktadır. Farklı sektörlerde faaliyet gösteren işletmelerden seçilen işgörenler çalışmaya gönüllülük etmiştir. 350 işgörene ulaşılmıştır, analizler 301 geçerli anket vasıtasıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hipotezlere yönelik korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir.Bulgular –Çalışmanın hipotezlerinin sınanmasına yönelik gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucu bağımlı ve bağımsız değişkenler arasındaki etkileşim saptanmıştır. Yani; toksik liderliğin örgütsel sessizlik üzerinde açıklayıcı etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Toksik liderlik ile örgütsel sessizlik arasında negatif yönlü etkileşim olduğu saptanmıştır. Literatürün tam zıttı bir sonuç bulgulandığından ayrıntılı inceleme yapmak ve böyle bir sonuç elde etmekteki sebebi aydınlatabilmek adına alt boyutlar bazında regresyon analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Regresyon analizleri sonucu kimi alt boyutlar bazında aslında negatif etkileşim olduğu kanıtlanmıştır. Değer bilmezlik arttıkça kabullenici sessizliğin artmakta olduğu, olumsuz ruhsal durumun artması ile prososyal sessizliğin gözlemlendiği ve değer bilmezliğin yine artması ile korunmacı sessizliğin örgütlerde saptandığı bulgulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak; toksik liderlik örgütsel sessizliği etkilemektedir. Bu etkileşimde etkili olan en önemli değişken ise olumsuz ruhsal durumdur.Tartışma –Çalışmanın hipotezlerine yönelik gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda elde edilen bulguların ilgili literatürü destekler nitelikte olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca daha önce bu değişkenleri birlikte incelemiş çalışma olmadığından alan yazına yeni katkılar da sağlanmıştır. Çalışmada gerçekleştirilen analiz sonuçları vasıtasıyla öneriler de geliştirilmiştir.
