Authors: Dhanasekaran Selvamuthukumaran , Uvaraja V. C.
Published: February 2025

The research aims to develop quality joints using cold metal transfer (CMT) welding. We investigated stainless steel sheets such as Duplex 2205, SS 301 LN and ER 308L SS filler wire used for chemical and food processing equipment applications. The major focus was on optimizing the welding parameters for producing quality weld joints, thus ensuring the optimal ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and microhardness (HV0.5). The Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was used in this study to find the most significant parameters among welding speed (S), current (A) and contact-to-work distance (CTWD), and their optimum settings for producing high-quality welds. The multi-objective optimization TOPSIS method was employed to optimize the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and microhardness (HV0.5). According to the TOPSIS performance index, the welding current was identified as the most influential factor, contributing 94.79 %, followed by welding speed and CTWD contributing 4.48 % and 0.15 %, respectively. The optimized welding parameters including a current of 95 A, welding speed (travel speed) of 4 mm/sec, and CTWD of 5 mm were identified as the best results. Confirmatory experiments were conducted to validate the optimized settings; they demonstrated good agreement with the predicted results. Finally, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) analyses of the optimal weld microstructure were presented.

THE THEME OF "LYKERA'S REPENTANCE" IN MEMORY OF SHEVCHENKO IN MEMOIRS, STUDIOS, CREATIVE INTERPRETATIONS
Authors:   Cherkasy Bohdan Khmelnytsky National University, Cherkasy, Kyiv, Ukraine, Polishchuk Volodymyr
Published: February 2025

The article focuses the clarification of a problem that has not yet been scientifically understood in Shevchenko studies, despite the fact that the relationship between Taras Shevchenko and Lykera Polusmak is sufficiently widely described in memoirs, studies, artistic and biographical Shevchenko studies. The author of the study analyzes a wide array of works by Shevchenko, mainly lyrical and lyric-epic, in which the image of Lykera Polusmak appears in various interpretations, particularly her behaviour in the last years of her life, when the woman moved to Kaniv and spent a lot of time near Shevchenko's grave, allegedly for repentance in the poet's memory. Two main semantic paradigms are noted in the interpretation of Lykera by contemporary poets: 1) the woman does not deserve forgiveness, because she deeply impressed Shevchenko with her brutal behaviour and hastened the poet's death; 2) Lykera had the right to her own choice, and therefore is not deprived of the right to penance. Depending on which of the mentioned paradigms the authors of the Shevchenko works adhered to, they are figuratively called "the children of Taras" or "the children of Lykera" in Shevchenko studies, respectively (according to M. Strelbytsky). The study consistently analyzes more than twenty poetic works "about Lykera", written by both well-known poets (L. Kostenko, V. Bazylevsky, N. Hnatiuk, I. Hnatiuk, etc.), and less well-known ones (L. Taranenko, N. Baklai, O. Dikhtiarenko and others), the authors' positions in them are determined. It is noted that in a number of miniature poems, the image of Lykera appears as incapable of true awareness of the possible wrongdoing in relations with Shevchenko and sincere remorse. A number of studies and works talk about the cunning and falsity of Lykera's actions near Shevchenko's grave. At the same time, some researchers and experts interpret Lykera's behaviour as sincere and penitent. The article analyzes in more detail the poem "Lykera" by I. Hnatiuk and the dramatic poem of the same name by O. Pukhny, in which the researched topic is presented and understood in a broad and artistically valuable way. In the conclusions, it is noted that the analyzed theme of "Lykera's Repentance", like the entire history of the relationship between Shevchenko and Polusmakivna, will continue to retain different visions and assessments.
SOME TOUCHES TO T. SHEVCHENKA'S SKETCH "VYSHHOROD"
Authors:   Kyiv Taras Shevchenko's Memorial House-Museum, Kyiv, Ukraine, Orlova Nadiia
Published: February 2025

During his stay in Ukraine, Taras Shevchenko visited Vyshhorod twice in 1843 and 1846 and made a pencil sketch of "Vyshhorod". The poet mentioned the city in the poem "Monk". Today, in the articles of researchers regarding the dating of the picture and the name, there are different readings. In the complete collection of Shevchenko's works in ten volumes (Vol. 7, book 2), the sketch "Vyshhorod" is dated April-September 1846, and the name of the area is under a question mark in Shevchenko's dictionary in 1843 (Vol. 1), in the Full a collection of Shevchenko's works in twelve volumes (Vol. 8) and in the album "Our Great Holy Kyiv" (2004) in June 1843. I0n the Shevchenko encyclopedia (Vol. 1), the name of the drawing is under a question mark ("Vyshhorod?") and is dated April-September 1846 – the time of Shevchenko's stay in Kyiv. At the same time, in the historical article about Vyshhorod placed next to it, the date of its execution is set: June 13, 1843. In one of the latest academic editions of the Shevchenko Encyclopedia: Shevchenko's Artistic Heritage (2017), the painting is dated to mid-June 1846. So, the opinions of Shevchenko experts regarding the time of execution of the drawing and even the name were divided. The purpose of this study, based on documents and materials, research by Shevchenko experts, is to clarify the dating and name of the picture and to expand information about its plot. Using historical, literary, documentary and pictorial sources, we were able to confirm that the artist's painting really depicts the landscape of Vyshgorod with Olzhina Hill, on which the three-domed Borysoglib church rises. The church was built in 1744 by the local priest Vasyl Lukyanovych, and in 1824 a wooden belfry was built. This is confirmed by the images of the same landscape in watercolors by P. Svynyin (1825) and De La Fliese (1854). Today, the landscape of the area has changed somewhat (the bay with the Konoplyanka river under Olzhyna Gora has disappeared) due to the construction of the Kyiv HPP in 1961–1964. On the basis of historical sources, we deepened the information on the history of Vyshhorod and the construction of the first Christian church of St. Basil by Volodymyr the Great (989, not by Princess Olga, as suggested in the comments to Shevchenko's drawing) of the Borys and Hleb temple. There are no documentary facts about the poet's stay in Vyshgorod, but there are only indirect ones. Based on the analysis of Shevchenko studies of the life and work of Shevchenko and the observations of O. Slobodyaniuk ("News about Taras Shevchenko's drawing "Kyiv-Mezhyhirskyi Monastery") regarding the date of production of the whatman, its size, and the quality on which the sketch was made, comparing it with Shevchenko's architectural landscapes 1846 gives reasons to date the sketch "Vyshgorod" in June–July 1846.
Rabto (sic) de los luteranos que quemaron en Valladolid en… 1559 años. El manuscrito del Magistral de Astorga y su contexto
Authors: López Gómez Pedro
Published: February 2025

En el protocolo correspondiente a los años 1558-1559, del notario pontevedrés Alonso García do Sisto, se encuentra una relación inédita titulada Rabto (sic) de los luteranos que quemaron en Valladolid en (mancha) de 1559 años, que narra el auto de fe de Valladolid de 21 de mayo de 1559. Es una copia simple de un original, escrito por un tal “dotor Fuertes, magistral de Astorga”, que se dice criado del Obispo de Astorga, que afirma haber estado presente en el auto “que alli bio”, y va dirigido a dicho obispo.
Dos fueron los autos de fe celebrados en Valladolid en 1559, uno el 21 de mayo y otro el 28 de octubre, que pueden considerarse continuación uno del otro. Sobre ambos se conocen numerosos testimonios que corroboran y complementan la narración del manuscrito. El Rabto plantea problemas sobre la identidad del magistral de Astorga y su relación con el obispo, el por qué de su inclusión entre las escrituras de Alonso García do Sisto, y sobre la personalidad de este notario. Otros se refieren al título, y al propio acontecimiento, como la fidelidad a los hechos, identificación de los protagonistas y sus respectivas actuaciones, información del testigo sobre el suceso y papel que pudo desempeñar en él. Valoramos el manuscrito como testimonio de la época, y ejemplo de cómo circulaba la información, y de las relaciones clientelares que se establecían entre señores y criados. También contrastamos la valoración del hecho narrado desde la perspectiva del autor y la nuestra actual y personal.
Economic Growth and Firm Size Dynamics: Evidence from Romania’s Development Regions
Authors: Badulescu Daniel , Badulescu Alina , Simut Ramona , Dianu Dragos
Published: February 2025

The relationship between firms and economic growth is an intensely debated topic in the literature, emphasizing the impact of the large businesses or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in ensuring growth, innovation and employment, the role of support measures or social benefits. Although the importance of each category in growth and development is far from a consensus, there is a tacit recognition that each size-class of firms has a series of specific characteristics that can better influence certain aspects of development. A better knowing of them could help adapting and calibrating measures and policies according to specific objectives, stages or geographical areas. In this paper, we propose an econometric approach to the relationship between economic growth (by GDP evolution) and the dynamics of the firms’ sector, by size class, at the level of the development regions of Romania. We found that the effect of the number of enterprises in each size class similarly influences the GDP, regardless of the region, with a more pronounced positively impact in the case of micro- and small enterprises and ambiguous in the case of medium-sized enterprises.

Ascesis cristiana y estilo de vida sostenible: diálogo de la ecoteología con la teóloga ortodoxa Elizabeth Theokritoff
Authors: Murad Afonso , Tatay Jaime
Published: February 2025

El artículo explora la contribución original de la teóloga ortodoxa Elizabeth Theokritoff a la ecoteología, en particular su propuesta de integración del ascetismo cristiano en un estilo de vida sostenible. Basándose en la teología patrística oriental, Theokritoff defiende que la ascesis cristiana no implica un desprecio del mundo material, sino una autolimitación para superar el consumismo y establecer una relación de comunión con la creación. Destaca la inmanencia de Dios en la creación a través de los logoi presentes en cada criatura, que se manifiestan en la Palabra encarnada (Cristo) y se cumplen en la glorificación escatológica de la materia. La autora integra el ethos ascético en el ethos eucarístico y sacramental, evitando reducir la ascesis a meras normas. Su planteamiento posibilita una visión positiva del cuerpo humano y la materia, destinados a participar de la gloria de Dios, una espiritualidad que asume la creación como parte del proyecto salvífico de Dios y un camino novedoso para la conversión ecológica en clave cristiana.

Indian Supplements to Shakespeare: The Hungry and We That Are Young
Authors: Trivedi Poonam
Published: February 2025

While there is no longer any debate about Shakespeare’s position as a global author, the rapidly expanding worldwide archive of the versioning of his works continues to pose a critical challenge. Questions like how far and to what extent can this be seen as Shakespeare or not Shakespeare are raised. Estimation of value is vexed, too: does it reside mainly in the local, or can it also extrapolate meaning globally? Methodologies, too, are debated: is archiving the starting or the endpoint of reception? Or is the construction of networks of analyses around and between them the mode towards negotiating appreciation?
Taking a leaf out of Derrida’s “That Dangerous Supplement,” this paper will propose a critical perspective of supplementarity as an intervention in the debate on the proliferating versioning of Shakespeare. This sees the traffic in Shakespeare as both a surplus, a plenitude enriching another plenitude and also a substitute filling a void. It considers translation, adaptation, appropriation, and even performance of Shakespeare as additions which enhance and complete making good an insufficiency. It will locate this discussion on two much-acclaimed adaptations to emerge out of India: the film The Hungry (2017), directed by Bornila Chatterjee, of Titus Andronicus, and the novel We That Are Young (2017) by Preti Taneja, based on King Lear.
Polacy na Litwie w świetle współczesnych przemian – szanse, wyzwania, zagrożenia
Authors: Jundo-Kaliszewska Barbara , Eberhardt Adam
Published: February 2025

Niniejsza publikacja stanowi zbiór poruszanych w czasie konferencji zagadnień, poddanych analizie naukowej i przekształconych w rekomendacje eksperckie. Konferencja została zorganizowana przez Fundację „Pomoc Polakom na Wschodzie” im. Jana Olszewskiego we współpracy ze Studium Europy Wschodniej Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego oraz Wydziałem Studiów Międzynarodowych i Politologicznych Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego. Udział w niej wzięli naukowcy, dziennikarze, edukatorzy, politycy, przedstawiciele biznesu i liderzy opinii publicznej, a także studenci z Polski i Litwy. Zagadnienia, zgodnie z założeniami konferencji, zostały podzielone na sześć kluczowych obszarów, omówionych – odpowiednio – w sześciu rozdziałach.
Dokument kompleksowo analizuje sytuację mniejszości polskiej na Litwie, przedstawiając wielowymiarowe wyzwania i rekomendacje w kluczowych obszarach strategicznych. Według spisu ludności z 2021 roku Polacy stanowią 6,52% mieszkańców Litwy (183 421 osób) i pozostają największą mniejszością narodową tego kraju.
Opracowanie wskazuje na złożoność sytuacji mniejszości, która wynika z historycznego bagażu wzajemnych relacji, uprzedzeń i geopolitycznych uwarunkowań. Kluczowym dokumentem pozostaje traktat polsko-litewski z 1994 roku, który określa prawa mniejszości, choć jego zapisy często są różnie interpretowane przez obie strony.
Effect of Organic Amendments on Physico-chemical Properties of Sandy Loam Soils of Haryana under Saline Water Irrigation
Authors:   Department of Soil Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar-125004 (Haryana) India, Asha Asha
Published: February 2025

Non-availability of good quality irrigation water in arid and semi-arid regions is an emerging concern for better crop production and obtaining higher returns from farm produce. The higher evaporation rate in these areas resulted in the development of saline soils, which interfere with crop production and sustainability in agriculture. To overcome such problems, the present investigation was conducted at a soil science research farm, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana, India, to know the effects of various organic amendments on physico-chemical properties of soil, viz. bulk density, water holding capacity, electrical conductivity and pH of soil. The study included twelve treatments viz. T1 (75% RDF), T2 (recommended dose of fertilizers, RDF), T3 [75% RDF +ST-3 (Azotobacter chroococcum)], T4 (RDF +ST-3), T5 [75% RDF+ 2.5 t/ha Biogas slurry (BGS) + ST-3], T6 (RDF+ 2.5 t/ha BGS+ ST-3), T7 [75% RDF+ 2.5 t/ha Vermicompost (VC)+ ST-3], T8 (RDF+ 2.5 t/ha VC+ ST-3), T9 [75% RDF+ 10 t/ha farm yard manure (FYM) + Biomix], T10 (RDF+ 10 t/ha FYM+ Biomix), T11 (75% RDF+ 2.5 t/ha VC+ Biomix) and T12 (RDF+ 2.5 t/ha VC+ Biomix). The soil texture was sandy loam. The highest water holding capacity and lowest bulk density was obtained with treatment T10 (RDF + FYM@ 10t/ha+ Biomix) which was at par with treatment T9, T12, T8 and T6. The lowest water holding capacity was found under 75% RDF, followed by RDF. The soil pH is reduced under integrated nutrient management with increasing salinity levels. The electrical conductivity of soil increased after two years of study under all the treatments. The study suggests sustainable saline irrigation water management and improved soil physico-chemical properties by adopting integrated nutrient management.
Elucidation of Source - Sink Relationship in Mulberry (Morus spp.)

Published: February 2025

Sericulture is essentially an agro-based industry, and it has been practiced for ages, particularly in China and India. However, the industry has taken a back seat due to stiff competition with other agricultural crops. In order to make sericulture more remunerative and withstand this competition, value addition through fruit processing is a viable option. The fruit-bearing cultivars of mulberry can be effectively manipulated to sustain silkworm rearing while being simultaneously used to yield quality mulberry fruit. This will be a key factor in boosting the income of silkworm rearers and will transform sericulture from a household occupation to a vibrant commercial activity, opening a new vista of opportunities to the farmer community. The first step towards achieving this crop diversification is to understand the phenology and interaction between sources and sink in mulberry. By elucidating the flow of assimilates between sources (photosynthetic tissues) and sinks (non-photosynthetic tissues), the present article is an attempt to illuminate how this phenomenon can be harnessed to make sericulture a profitable practice.

Social costs and social housing
Authors: Muianga Elisa Atália Daniel , Kowaltowski Doris Catharine Cornelie Knatz
Published: February 2025

Social impacts and Social Costs (SCs) may be triggered by a diversity of events. Social Housing (SH) studies that analyse SCs are still scarce, and the specific analysis of SCs for different SH configurations, locals and their surroundings is therefore important to mitigate impacts caused by less than ideal projects and their use. An inductive method and brainstorming were applied to assess SC components. Results are in the form of a SC component organisation with details on urban, neighbourhood, housing and unit aspects and associated costs to provide a panorama of issues linked to these. Costs associated with subcomponents that cover mobility, productivity, neighbourhood and housing infrastructure, housing value, comfort and house or home transformations were identified. Further variables of subcomponents were also identified to compose potential costs. The feasibility of interventions, and a protocol to guide SC analysis are presented. The research contributes by elucidating SH production, avoiding negative social impacts, and guiding the implementation of continuous improvements of new projects and existing housing developments through participatory processes.
Presence in the Text: Whose, for Whom, How
Authors: Venediktova T. D.
Published: February 2025

This article explores growing interest in the concept of presence in the humanities today. Technological innovations are argued to have facilitated advancement of a “digital” imagination, fostering a compelling sensory immersion into virtual words and creating the illusion of unmediated contact. This propelled dialogue about materiality and polymodality as implicit characteristics of literary texts, “enactivism” as evoking the “materialities of communication” (H.U. Gumbrecht) growing increasingly influential in literary cognitive studies. In this context the concept of epiphany thus acquired currency  in modern theory and artistic practice (from Romanticism to Postmodernism), epiphanic writing prioritizing the co-production of aesthetic experience and advocating closer attention to inferential dynamics and the mimetic, deictic or gestural potential of literary discourse in general. Finally, M. Merleau-Ponty’s notion of style is examined to demonstrate the central object of enactivist literary studies to be the author’s style, studied as an interactive experience, and not as an objectified form.

Located in the second-largest estuary in Pernambuco, Brazil, the Suape Port Industrial Complex (CIPS) and its surroundings are regions of high environmental and economic importance that experience the effects of constant anthropogenic action. To understand the interference of these acts and the marine environment in this area, to identify its taxonomic diversity and abundance, and to guide management and mitigation measures for the fauna and marine ecosystem of this location, using the non-lethal baited remote underwater video system (BRUVS) method, between July 2021 and October 2022, we conducted a survey of the fauna in the coastal zone of the CIPS area, with a sampling area of 180 km2 and 800 sampling points. Among the 118 species identified, the most abundant were Haemulon aurolineatum, Decapterus macarellus, and Caranx crysos, with a greater association of individuals in the sand/gravel + phytobenthos substrate, sand/gravel, and limestone formation. Although no non-significant differences were observed in the diversity of species by lunar phase, the relative abundance was greater during the new moon. When evaluating the depth gradients, those with the highest relative abundance and diversity were observed in the extracts at 20–25 and 25–30 m.

SOCIO-ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF ‘ASHABIYYAH HADITHS
Authors: Fauji Hayatul , Arifin Tajul , Sadikin Moch. Ramdan Hasan
Published: February 2025

This article dissects the ‘ashabiyyah (fanaticism) hadith. Analysis of the ‘ashabiyyah hadith aims to understand the messages and values contained therein and their implementation in modern society. The ‘ashabiyyah hadiths chosen as the basis for this research are those which explicitly mention the word ‘ashabiyyah, along with their derivations. The ‘ashabiyyah hadith is analyzed using the syarh approach used by hadith experts and then reviewed using a socio-anthropological science approach. The theory used is Anthony Giddens’ social constitution which is supported by anthropological facts about the Arab people revealed in the Sirah Nabawiyah books and Ibn Khaldun’s theory of ‘ashabiyyah. From the results, it was found that the Prophet was a social agent who changed the tribalistic order of life of the Arab nation into a civil society, without eliminating it as a whole. He still maintained the positive values of jahiliyyah, but changed his motives or intentions. This was seen when he discussed with his friends regarding ‘ashabiyyah which has become the DNA of Arab people anthropologically. The concept of `ashabiyyah, whose basis can be religion, kinship, clanism, tribalism, ethnicity, ideology, economic and political interests, regionalism, and so on, is not only a characteristic of tribal (Arab) societies of the past, but also of modern societies and countries of post-colonial nations, including Indonesia.

[Artikel ini membedah hadis ‘ashabiyyah (fanatisme). Analisa hadis ‘ashabiyyah bertujuan memahami pesan dan nilai yang terkandung di dalamnya serta implementasinya terhadap masyarakat modern. Hadis-hadis ‘ashabiyyah yang dipilih sebagai basis penelitian ini ialah yang secara eksplisit menyebut kata ‘ashabiyyah, berikut derivasinya. Hadis ‘ashabiyyah dianalisa menggunakan pendekatan syarh yang digunakan oleh ahli hadis kemudian ditinjau ulang menggunakan pendekatan ilmu sosio-antropologi. Teori yang digunakan ialah konstitusi sosial Anthony Giddens yang didukung dengan fakta antropologis bangsa Arab yang diungkapkan dalam kitab-kitab sirah nabawiyah dan teori Ibn Khaldun tentang ‘ashabiyyah. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa Nabi adalah agen sosial yang mengubah tatanan kehidupan bangsa Arab yang bersifat kesukuan menjadi masyarakat madani, tanpa menghilangkannya secara menyeluruh. Beliau tetap mempertahankan nilai-nilai positif jahiliyah, tetapi mengubah motif atau niatnya. Hal itu terlihat ketika beliau berdiskusi dengan para sahabat berkenaan dengan ‘ashabiyyah yang secara antropologis telah menjadi DNA masyarakat Arab. Konsep ‘ashabiyyah yang basisnya dapat berupa agama, kekerabatan, klanisme, kesukuan, etnisitas, ideologi, kepentingan ekonomi dan politik, kedaerahan, dan sebagainya, tidak saja menjadi ciri masyarakat kesukuan (Arab) masa lalu, tetapi juga masyarakat modern dan negara-negara bangsa pascakolonial, termasuk Indonesia.]

This study analyzes the moral messages in hadiṡ related to climate change mitigation through a thematic-correlative approach. This research uses qualitative methods, library research, and takhrij al-hadis, data were examined using content analysis, al-jarh wa al-ta’dil, and tawarikh al-ruwat, along with internal and external hadīṡ criticism. The findings confirm that three hadīṡs addressing climate change mitigation are of high quality, making them valid references for Islamic teachings (maqbūl al-hujjah) and applicable in practice. Thematically, these hadīṡ align with efforts to combat climate change, emphasizing the importance of preserving water resources and preventing ecosystem damage. Islam highlights water conservation and responsible usage, recognizing water as vital for all living beings. Mitigation efforts include reforestation, rehabilitating degraded lands, and prohibiting the felling of wild trees to sustain ecosystems. These teachings affirm Islam’s proactive approach to environmental preservation through hadis, advocating for sustainable practices that align with the broader goal of mitigating climate change impacts.

REINTERPRETATION OF THE HADITH ON RECYCLED WATER WITH A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH
Authors: Syukron Tubagus Muhammad , Fudhaili Ahmad
Published: February 2025

The hadith concerning the well of Budhāʻah, known for its contaminated condition, raises intriguing questions regarding Prophet Muhammad’s use of its water for ablution. The contradiction between the well’s description and the prophet’s action has prompted scholarly interpretations about a possible natural purification process. However, existing explanations regarding this purification do not fully align with the well’s condition as described in the hadith. This study reinterprets the Budhāʻah well hadith to determine the legal status of recycled water using modern scientific findings. Collaborating with PT Rofis Jaya Perkasa, a wastewater treatment company, this research aims to scientifically reconstruct the well’s historical condition. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study on the Budhāʻah well hadith, this research gathers data through literature review, interviews, and field observations. Hadith analysis involves scrutiny of its chain of sanad, matan, and contextual understanding using scientific theories. The analysis reveals that the well’s water was a mixture of rainwater and periodically entering household wastewater. Natural mechanisms, including microbial activity, were capable of transforming the contaminated water into cleaner water. These findings offer a new perspective on the concept of water purity in Islam, particularly concerning recycled water and its relevance to modern water treatment practices.

 

[Hadis tentang Sumur Budhāʻah, yang dikenal karena kondisinya yang tercemar, menimbulkan pertanyaan menarik terkait penggunaan airnya oleh Nabi Muhammad untuk berwudu. Kontradiksi antara deskripsi sumur dan tindakan Nabi memunculkan interpretasi ulama tentang kemungkinan adanya proses semacam daur ulang. Kendati demikian, penjelasan mengenai proses penyucian air ini tidak sesuai dengan kondisi Sumur Budhāʻah sebagaimana yang termaktub dalam hadis. Penelitian ini akan menginterpretasi ulang hadis Sumur Budhāʻah dalam menentukan status hukum air daur ulang menggunakan pendekatan temuan sains modern. Melalui kolaborasi dengan PT Rofis Jaya Perkasa, sebuah perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang pengolahan air limbah, penelitian ini berusaha merekonstruksi secara ilmiah kondisi Sumur Budhāʻah pada masa lalu. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan studi kasus pada hadis Sumur Budhā‘ah. Metode pengumpulan data meliputi studi pustaka, wawancara, dan observasi lapangan. Hadis akan ditinjau menggunakan kritik sanad, kritik matan, dan pemahaman hadis kontekstual dengan pendekatan teori sains. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa air di Sumur Budhāʻah merupakan campuran air hujan dan limbah rumah tangga yang masuk berkala. Mekanisme alami, termasuk aktivitas mikroorganisme, mampu mengubah kualitas air yang tercemar menjadi air yang lebih bersih. Temuan ini membuka perspektif baru dalam memahami konsep kesucian air dalam Islam, khususnya terkait dengan air hasil daur ulang.]
Islam and the State: The Evolution of Sharia Banking Regulation in Indonesia
Authors: Hidayah Nur , Haryatih Haryatih , Kamilah Rihadatul Aisy
Published: February 2025

The interplay of social, economic, and political dynamics influences the legal development of Sharia banking regulations. This study aims to analyze the evolution of Sharia banking regulations in Indonesia from their inception to the most recent developments. Using a juridical-legal approach, the research identifies five key phases in the development of Sharia banking regulations in Indonesia: initial, introduction, recognition, purification, and relaxation phases. Such regulatory changes have resulted from the negotiations among various stakeholders to reconcile the ideals of Sharia finance with the pragmatic needs of the banking industry, as well as the interest in strengthening the national financial system. Such legal development of Sharia banking regulations in Indonesia reflects the adaptability of Islamic law, enabling Sharia finance to evolve in response to societal changes and contextual dynamics while remaining grounded in the ethical principles of the Islamic moral economy.

Small molecules that induce non-apoptotic cell death are of fundamental mechanistic interest and may be useful to treat certain cancers. Here, we report that tegavivint, a drug candidate undergoing human clinical trials, can activate a unique mechanism of non-apoptotic cell death in sarcomas and other cancer cells. This lethal mechanism is distinct from ferroptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis and requires the lipid metabolic enzyme trans-2,3-enoyl-CoA reductase (TECR). TECR is canonically involved in the synthesis of very long chain fatty acids but appears to promote non-apoptotic cell death in response to CIL56 and tegavivint via the synthesis of the saturated long-chain fatty acid palmitate. These findings outline a lipid-dependent non-apoptotic cell death mechanism that can be induced by a drug candidate currently being tested in humans.
