Authors: Gnomblerou Edna 
Published: September 2020

This study draws attention to a merger and acquisition case that involves Geely and Proton respectively, Chinese and Malaysian firms. The article mainly focuses on the financial performance of Geely before and after the acquisition. To achieve this, the paper adopted a qualitative research method by using archival data sources to analyze the single case of the acquisition of Proton by Geely. The sampling area is Asia being China and Malaysia describing a cross-border transaction in emerging markets. The paper performed ratio analysis to investigate the different indicators of Geely’s financial performance before and after the acquisition. After documenting and analyzing this case, the paper argues that Geely performed well before and after the acquisition. The analysis can serve as evidence of a better financial performance of Chinese firms after cross-national M&A transactions.
As a qualitative research, this article benefits not only from the bibliometric analysis done through past research and official reports related to the case but also from the quality and validity required for a case study analysis. This study is an original attempt at presenting the case study of Geely’s acquisition of Proton from the lens of the acquiring firm’s performance before and after the acquisition. However, due to the limited information provided by financial ratios, the findings of the paper are not exhaustive.

Characteristics of Tweets from @realDonaldTrump in Early 2020
Authors: Whissell Cynthia 
Published: September 2020

This research examines the tweeting behavior of US president Donald Trump during the early crisis months of 2020. A study of 1507 tweets posted in January-April 2020, and a comparison of these to tweets from the first year of his presidency (2017) led to several statistically significant conclusions. Overall, the language of the tweets remained somewhat positive or pleasant. Trump’s tweets were both longer and much more frequent in 2020 (the rate rose from 7 to 30 per day). The pleasantness of the language in tweets was negatively related to their popularity (popular tweets used relatively unpleasant language). The president’s tweeting behavior modified somewhat (e.g. fewer hourly tweets) in conjunction with the coronavirus crisis and the abrupt decline of the markets in March. The tweets gave evidence of a distinctly Trumpian vocabulary that favored words and phrases such as “great”, “hoax”, and “fake news media”.

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.

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.

Published: September 2020

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.
