Authors: Budiandru Budiandru 
Published: February 2021

Abstract. Islamic social reporting (ISR) is used to assess a company's social performance based on Islamic principles. Islamic social performance reports will influence investors' decisions in investing. This research is to analyze factors influencing the Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility report. Data is obtained from the annual reports of 44 companies in the halal industry sector from 2013-2018, and analyzed using the Random Effect Model (REM) method. In this research, interest on debt-based Sharia Screening (SS) is divided by total assets with a maximum tolerance of 45 percent; the companies’ net-based Profitability (PRV) is divided by the total assets (ROA), and total debt-based leverage (LEV) is divided by equity (DER). The result is that Sharia Screening, Profitability, and Leverage affect ISR reporting. Increasing sharia screening and leverage will decrease ISR reporting, while increasing profitability will increase ISR reporting. Thus, the increase and decrease in this variable affect the companies’ decision to report the ISR. Therefore, companies must improve their financial performance to improve corporate social responsibility disclosure quality, which is very important for stakeholders in investing. Keywords: Islamic Social Reporting, Random Effect Model, Sharia Screening, Profitability, Leverage Abstrak. Pelaporan sosial Islam digunakan untuk menilai kinerja sosial perusahaan berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip Islam. Laporan kinerja sosial Islam akan mempengaruhi keputusan investor dalam berinvestasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi laporan sosial Islam dengan menggunakan 44 perusahaan sektor industri halal, data tahunan tahun 2013-2018, dan menggunakan metode random effect model (REM). Syariah Screening (SS) berbasis pada hutang bunga dibagi total aset dengan toleransi maksimal 45 persen, Profitabilitas (PRV) berbasis pada laba bersih perusahaan dibagi total aset (ROA), dan leverage (LEV) berbasis pada total hutang dibagi ekuitas (DER). Hasilnya adalah syariah screening, profitabilitas, dan leverage mempengaruhi pelaporan sosial Islam. Peningkatan syariah screening dan leverage akan menurunkan pelaporan ISR, sedangkan peningkatan profitabilitas akan meningkatkan pelaporan ISR. Dengan demikian kenaikan dan penurunan variabel ini mempengaruhi keputusan perusahaan untuk melaporkan ISR.

MORTALIDADE POR COVID-19 NO BRASIL AJUSTADA POR IDADE: MAIS ALTA NA REGIÃO NORTE
Authors: Azevedo e Silva Gulnar , Jardim Beatriz , Lotufo Paulo 
Published: February 2021

O crescimento acentuado de casos e óbitos por Covid-19 tem levado a grande sobrecarga do sistema de saúde no Brasil em especial em cidades com Manaus e Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. A descrição do impacto da pandemia tem se baseado em números absolutos ou taxas de mortalidade brutas não considerando o padrão de distribuição das faixas etárias nas diferentes regiões do país. Este estudo tem por objetivo comparar a taxas de mortalidade brutas por Covid-19 com taxas padronizadas por idade nas capitais dos estados brasileiras e no Distrito Federal. As informações sobre óbito foram acessadas no Sistema de Informação de Vigilância da Gripe (SIVEP-Gripe) e os denominadores populacionais foram baseados nas estimativas disponibilizadas pelo Ministério da Saúde. Para o cálculo das padronizadas por idade utilizou-se a estrutura etária da população do Brasil estimada para 2020. Os resultados mostram que as maiores taxas brutas foram em Manaus (253,6/100.000) e Rio de Janeiro (253,2/100.000). Após padronização por idade, houve aumento expressivo das taxas na região Norte. A maior taxa ajustada foi vista em Manaus (412,5/100.000) onde 33% de óbitos por Covid-19 ocorreram entre menores de 60 anos. A mortalidade acima de 70 anos foi o dobro se comparada à do Rio de Janeiro e o triplo se comparada à de São Paulo. A utilização de taxas de mortalidade padronizadas por idade elimina vieses interpretativos expondo de forma marcante o peso ainda maior da Covid-19 na região Norte do país.

Published: February 2021

Some physicochemical properties of walnut shell, kernel and oil of fifteen samples of walnut grown in different locations in Kurdistan region-Iraq were determined. Three principal dimensions such as length, width and thickness, volume and projected area of walnut and its kernels were measured using image processing technique. Based on three principal dimensions, some dimensional properties including geometric mean diameter, arithmetic mean diameter, sphericity, volume and surface area of the nuts and kernels were calculated. Also gravimetric properties of nuts and kernels such as true density of nuts and kernels were studied. Furthermore other physical properties such as weight of nut, weight of kernel, percentage yield of walnut, total oil content, ash contents, moisture contents, pH value, relative density and refractive index of the oils were also determined. The variations in physical properties such as size dimensions, arithmetic mean diameter, geometric mean diameter, unit mass, sphericity, surface area, true density and volume of shells and kernel of walnuts as a function of the moisture content were determined. With an increase in the moisture content, the surface area, sphericity, true density and volume of shells and kernel of walnuts increased. In addition, the oil yields from the kernels had ranged between 36.07% to 70.24%. The moisture contents of shells and kernels ranged between 6.34% to 10.11% and 3.68% to 5.62%, respectively; and the ash content of kernels were ranged between 0.94% to 2.2%. On the other hand, the refractive index of oils were determined between 1.4734 and 1.4767, pH-values of kernel oils were ranged between 6.23 and 7.02 and the relative density were determined between 0.9746 and 0.9801. Finally the present study was showed that the walnut kernels in Kurdistan region did not show any considerable significant variations with reference to their physical and chemical properties.

The rule: (There is no crime and no punishment except by the text) of a jurisprudential study through the Qur’an and Sunnah
Authors: Hasan Majeed Dr. Rafid 
Published: February 2021

Islamic Sharia is considered a complete and comprehensive law for all the requirements of life. The Holy Qur’an is the first fundamentals of Sharia, indicating its provisions and supported by the noble Sunnah, and it is the second source of Islamic law. Its sources, and the significance of the Holy Qur’an in its entirety, dedicated to its year and limitation to the absolute. It has a legal text, and the act or omission is not considered a crime unless this act is forbidden or imposed by divine legislation. This is because the legislator has to state what he is being punished for, and this meaning is mentioned in the rule: ((There is no crime or punishment without a text ((
The main question in this paper is how did Islamic law deal with this rule?
And the sub-questions: What is the meaning of the rule and its vocabulary? What are its evidence and its most important applications?
Condolence in Classroom Teaching: Iraqi EFL University Students' Pragmatic Deviation
Authors: Hasan Jawad Kamal 
Published: February 2021

Research studies concerning pragmatic acquisition by students have established that pragmatic nonconformity or deviation in the execution of speech acts, among which is "condolence", is primarily due to the students' incompetence to identify the proper meaning and to handle the proper form. In Iraqi context, most Iraqi EFL university students are found to inapproriately use illocutionary acts, as they digress from the sociocultural standards and pragmalinguistic rules used for making condolence. When producing circumstances comprising the use of the expressive condolence, students' speeches and responses do not conform to those of native speakers. Their replies seem awkward or refer to certain spoken situations other than those required in the communicative process or interaction. Thus, the study intends to identify Iraqi EFL students' deviation in the performance of the expressive condolence in order to get at the reasons behind this unconventionality. To achieve this aim, fifty Iraqi EFL college students of the University of Baghdad , College of Languages, Department of English, have been chosen to give ( data) replies to a test containing five situtations involving the production of condolence. Responses to the test have shown that negative transfer of L1 socio-pragmatic knowledge and lack of pragma-linguistic rules are the main characteristics that EFL Iraqi students resort to when handling condolence. Socio-pragmatic deviation occurs because they are linguistically unconscious of the conventions and means used in the target language; therefore, their performance is a non-native one. Further, lack of syntactic and semantic knowledge is an influential factor in producing certain spoken situations of condoling.
Commercialization of Religion in Galway Kinnell's Poem The Avenue Bearing The Initial Of Cross Into The New World.
Authors: YANPOLUMI M SANGMA C. SANTHOSH KUMAR, 
Published: February 2021

Since the Bible, the Christian religion has been deeply rooted in the commercialization of religion in society. The poem The Avenue Bearing the Initial of Cross into the New World is an attack on the Church and its followers for practising commercialization in society. Ironically, it also attacks Christian beliefs and practices. Kinnell presents shops, market places, restaurants, and bars to link with religious marketing. He portrays the characters as sellers and buyers, a product, and income. He even presented Christ as income to boost the Roman taxes. Marketing in religion affects both the spiritual and emotions of the followers. The religious sacred is regarded as a product that is exchanged by prices and goods. Kinnell rejected the Christian worshipping of idols. Thus, this paper presents the commercialization of religion in Galway Kinnell's poem The Avenue Bearing the initial of Cross into the New World

Published: February 2021

Resumo: Tendo em conta a anulação das leis de impunidade (2001-2005), interessa-nos reconstruir aqui a reabertura dos julgamentos por violações aos direitos humanos na Argentina. Primeiro, o “caso Simon” que tem a primeira sentença em 2001 e foi confirmado pela Corte Suprema de Justicia em 2005; em seguida, a Lei 25.779, de 2003, aprovada no Congresso Nacional que anulava explicitamente as leis de anistia; e, finalmente, a abordagem judicial que agrupa os circuitos de repressão do terrorismo de Estado (1976-1983) em “megacausas” no marco da noção de genocídio. Nosso objetivo é abordar a complexidade judicial da justiça de transição do caso argentino.
