On Muslim Democracy: Essays and Dialogues

Rached Ghannouchi and Andrew F. March, On Muslim Democracy: Essays and Dialogues. Oxford University Press, New York City, 2023. 248 pp. ISBN 9780197666876. The compatibility of Islam and democracy is an old theme. The concept of Shura or, consultation, for example, is often invoked by many as one of the finest examples of democratic dialogue on how a leader could be elected after the demise of Prophet Muhammad. The Messenger of Islam himself is often seen as a democrat. After all, he often made decisions through deliberate consultations. Then again, how could the Prophet not have made any decisions in any way or form that is democratic when he led eighty out of a total of eighty-seven military expeditions during his role as the Messenger of Islam. Why then the need to explain time and again that Islam is compatible to democracy? Why can't it be taken as an article of faith for the lack of a better word?

Speech acts in Indonesian High School EFL textbooks: Representation & learning implications

This study is to analyse the representation and characteristics of speech acts in Indonesian high school EFL textbooks, with two focuses: 1) the representation of speech acts; and 2) the characteristics of their presentation. Using qualitative method and critical discourse analysis, the data were taken from the textbooks of grade X by Widiati, U., Rohmah, Z., Furidah (2017; 2018) and grade XI by Bashir (2017). The researcher acted as an instrument, using qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of this study are as follows. First, the presentation of speech acts already exists in the textbooks, but it is inadequate, because there are only four: assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, while there is no declarative type. In addition, the representation is also less varied. Second, the characteristics of speech acts presentation are adequate to facilitate understanding for students in developing their English competence. The speech acts are presented in the form of speaking skill materials and dialogue examples. This study underlines the need to improve the representation and presentation of functional speech acts in Indonesian high school EFL education.

ChatGPT as a tool for honing teachers’ Socratic dialogue skills

In this proof-of-concept paper, we propose a specific kind of pedagogical use of ChatGPT—to help teachers practice their Socratic dialogue skills. We follow up on the previously published paper ‘ChatGPT and the frustrated Socrates’ by re-examining ChatGPT’s ability to engage in Socratic dialogue in the role of a physics student. While in late 2022 its ability to engage in such dialogue was poor, we see significant advancements in the chatbot’s ability to respond to leading questions asked by a human teacher. We suggest that ChatGPT now has the potential to be used in teacher training to help pre- or in-service physics teachers hone their Socratic dialogue skills. In the paper and its supplemental material, we provide illustrative examples of Socratic dialogues with ChatGPT and present a report on a pilot activity involving pre-service physics and mathematics teachers conversing with it in a Socratic fashion.

ChatDiet: Empowering personalized nutrition-oriented food recommender chatbots through an LLM-augmented framework

The profound impact of food on health necessitates advanced nutrition-oriented food recommendation services. Conventional methods often lack the crucial elements of personalization, explainability, and interactivity. While Large Language Models (LLMs) bring interpretability and explainability, their standalone use falls short of achieving true personalization. In this paper, we introduce ChatDiet, a novel LLM-powered framework designed specifically for personalized nutrition-oriented food recommendation chatbots. ChatDiet integrates personal and population models, complemented by an orchestrator, to seamlessly retrieve and process pertinent information. The personal model leverages causal discovery and inference techniques to assess personalized nutritional effects for a specific user, whereas the population model provides generalized information on food nutritional content. The orchestrator retrieves, synergizes and delivers the output of both models to the LLM, providing tailored food recommendations designed to support targeted health outcomes. The result is a dynamic delivery of personalized and explainable food recommendations, tailored to individual user preferences. Our evaluation of ChatDiet includes a compelling case study, where we establish a causal personal model to estimate individual nutrition effects. Our assessments, including a food recommendation test showcasing a 92% effectiveness rate, coupled with illustrative dialogue examples, underscore ChatDiet’s strengths in explainability, personalization, and interactivity.

SYSTEM OF REQUIREMENTS AND SEQUENCE OF THE READING TASK

One of the main rules of learning any language is to improve linguistic competence through reading and get used to speaking fluently. At the same time, reading is an easier activity than speaking, success in which can be achieved by mastering texts of practical importance at any level of development. Correctly chosen topics not only increase students’ interest in the Kazakh language, but also form practical skills in everyday life. As a result of reading a large number of texts, the student has the opportunity to master the Kazakh language well, which greatly contributes to subsequently speaking fluently.Pre-text reading activities, text-level activities, and post-text activities are considered an integral part of reading instruction. It is important to pay attention to the presence in texts when reading of stable expressions, proverbs, phrases that express a beautiful thought, monologue, examples of dialogue, cognitive thoughts. It is clear that the student will become acquainted with the national identity of the Kazakh people. When choosing a text, its style, content, language level of students sitting in the audience, purpose, genre and form are also taken into account. The text is used in accordance with the reading strategy.

Stigma, Communication, and Clinical Oncology Care: Three Case Studies.

Health-related stigma can contribute to health inequities and poor outcomes. To address stigma-related issues in clinical oncology care, healthcare providers can identify stigma in clinical practice and apply strategies that reduce stigma. The aim is to identify stigma-related issues experienced by patients with cancer and to present strategies that address stigma-associated barriers to quality clinical oncology care. This article presents three case studies that illustrate stigma-associated issues and strategies to address those issues in clinical oncology care. Identifying intersectional stigmas in clinical care, each case study includes the patient's background information, a social assessment, and a clinical update, as well as an example of dialogue between the nurse and patient. Each case study ends with commentary and questions to further illustrate stigma-related issues in clinical oncology care. Finally, supporting the case studies, the toolbox includes inclusive language; principles of universal precautions to apply to stigma in clinical oncology care; and communication components, strategies, and resources to reduce stigma in clinical oncology care.

Flipped dialogic learning method with ChatGPT: A case study

This article presents a case study and ideas to flip classical dialogic learning method. Some possibilities of using ChatGPT to stimulate the active role of the student in the dialogic teaching method are shown. Data from observations of students training to be teachers of mathematics and informatics in their work with artificial intelligence (AI) are presented. A model for the application of the flipped dialogue in the education of students is proposed. An example of dialogue is given. The study concludes that that the main advantages of using flipped dialog learning with AI are easy access to the platforms, the lack of stress and stimulating the research qualities of students when searching for specific information or stimulating the system to make mistakes. The ability to ask the right leading questions and to detect the gaps of the “interlocutor” are important competencies applicable in dealing with life’s problems.

Pengembangan Aplikasi Chatbot Telegram Menggunakan Framework Rasa untuk Pelayanan Administrasi di Perguruan Tinggi Universitas Stikubank

The administrative services in universities are currently still conventional, resulting in many difficulties due to the mismatched time. For this research, a Telegram chatbot application will be developed to provide various answers to administrative inquiries in universities automatically. The chatbot application will be developed using the Rasa Open Source framework. This research collects data from several frequently asked questions by students and prospective students to the Biro Administrasi Akademik dan Kemahasiswaan (BAAK) as the initial data for the chatbot application. From this data, it will be transformed into Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and dialogue data. The number of NLU sentence examples is 213, and there are 27 dialogue examples. As a result, the chatbot application can understand user inquiries well, but it experiences some errors in generating dialogue responses.

The Relevance of Fiqh Siyasah Dauliyah and Religion as Indonesian Soft Power in International Relations

This study aims to discuss Indonesia's efforts to use moderate Islam as its new identity in global politics, especially after the events of 9/11. One of the Indonesian efforts is pursued through inter-faith and inter-civilizational dialogue. This research is library research with qualitative methods. The approaches used are historical, political, and Islamic perspectives in contemporary international relations studies, namely Fiqh Siyasah Dauliyah. The study results show that there are two main relevancies between the inter-faith and inter-civilizational dialogue with the principles concept of international relations based on fiqh siyasah dauliyah. First, diversity in Islam is stated as part of God's plan for the benefit of mankind. In this context, the various inter-faith and inter-civilizational dialogues organized by Indonesia are necessary conditions for promoting peace, tolerance, harmony, and religious coexistence in the world today. Second, the concept of dialogue between civilizations and between religions is based on the study of textual analysis and historical interpretation of the Al-Quran and As-Sunnah. In this case, the Al-Quran shows various examples of dialogue, one of which is contained in the Al-Quran Surah An-Nahl verse 125 which asks Muslims to show the best courtesy and wisdom when arguing with people of other religions. 
 
 Keywords: inter-faith dialogue; fiqh siyasah dauliyah; moderate Islam.

Frieden vermitteln auf neuem Terrain

Abstract This article presents the text of the instructions imparted by Cardinal Secretary of State Alderano Cybo to Luigi Bevilacqua, the apostolic nuncio and mediator at the multilateral peace congress of Nijmegen (1676–1679). It also offers a historical contextualization of the source, found in the Archivio Bevilacqua Ariosti in Bologna. The instructions reflect a change in Papal diplomacy, which remained active among the European powers even after the peace of Westphalia. By sending a nuncio into Protestant territory, Pope Innocent XI’s curia increasingly tended to integrate itself into the secularising diplomacy. During the peace negotiations, the Holy See tried to fulfil its ideal role as a padre comune, entailing strict impartiality between the conflicting Catholic parties. The orders regarding contacts with Protestant actors and interests are an example of the flexible dialogue of a normative text with the changing circumstances of 17th-century diplomatic practice. Although the wording reflects the intransigent tradition of the Holy See, the instructions show clear signs that the Protestant presence at the congress was handled pragmatically. On site, Bevilacqua even tried to go further and expand the recently established norm in favour of an effective interaction with Protestants, but ultimately failed.

Russian, American and French police officers professional vocabulary features: speech culture ethic

The article deals with the professional vocabulary of American, French and Russian police officers from the ethical side of professional communication, i.e. socially oriented and nationally determined rules of speech behavior, including set expressions accepted in a professional society and used in situations of “polite” contact with an interlocutor. Etiquette greeting formulas, communication with partners, boss and colleagues from an informal point of view are compared. Similar features in the use of jargon, slang and professionalism in the speech of police officers in French, English and Russian are analyzed. Examples of dialogues, statements are taken from dictionaries, police speech researches and studies, live speech, as well as modern films that currently show the life and work of the police in the most realistic and close to life. The specify of police work contributes to rudeness, obscene vocabulary, sarcasm and self-irony, a large amount of professional jargon in speech, which makes the speech of a policeman bright, emotionally and expressively colored.

Nathan the Wise: Dialogue without words

The ‘dramatic poem’, Nathan der Weise [Nathan the Wise], was written in 1779 by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in Germany. The scene is set in medieval Jerusalem, where Sultan Saladin rules and where the wealthy merchant Jew, Nathan, lives with his adopted daughter Recha, who is saved from a burning house by a Christian Templar knight. It is clear from the characters that the poem has the making of a fine example of interreligious dialogue. The culmination of the interreligious encounter in the poem is the account of what is now known as the parable of the Three Rings. The principle behind the parable has theological and socio-ethical implications that may guide us in understanding how religions can and ought to engage. This contribution presents a critical reflection of the Three Rings parable to add to the current debate on interreligious relations. The text of the poem is read from a theological socio-ethical perspective. The conclusion drawn from this reflection is that theological reasons may sometimes not be enough to ensure peaceful relations between religions. It may be that religions can together address socio-ethical challenges. Such co-action may transcend theological differences and mitigate interreligious dialogue.Contribution: This contribution wants to critically discuss the dramatic poem ‘Nathan der Weise’ and determine how the Three Rings parable can contribute to current interreligious relations. The research addresses United Nations Sustainable Development Goals numbers 11 and 16, contributing to peaceful co-existence in sustainable communities.

Developing Addie Model: Speaking for Informal Interaction Based on OBE Curriculum

Coursebook plays an essential role in English language teaching. It is a guide to the prescribed curriculum and syllabus. However, the coursebook does not always match the needs of students and lecturers. This study aims to develop a speaking coursebook using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model based on OBE Curriculum. Researchers used Research and Development (RD) in which the data were collected through questionnaire and interview. There were 26 students and two lecturers in the English Language Education Study Program. From the finding, the design and development of the coursebook are highly influenced by the result of the needs analysis. From the impact of the need analysis, the researchers developed the coursebook for Speaking for Informal Interaction that provides achievable teaching ideas for lecturers, including speaking activities, vocabulary, grammar, dialogue examples, exercise (individual, pair, or group work), and lesson learned related to the topics discussed. The result of validation from experts (design, content, and language), students, and lecturers agreed that the coursebook had met the criteria of a good coursebook. The results of this study can later be effectively used to support the achievement of student communicative competence, especially in the Speaking for Informal Interaction course.

A Stack-Propagation Framework for Low-Resource Personalized Dialogue Generation

With the resurgent interest in building open-domain dialogue systems, the dialogue generation task has attracted increasing attention over the past few years. This task is usually formulated as a conditional generation problem, which aims to generate a natural and meaningful response given dialogue contexts and specific constraints, such as persona. And maintaining a consistent persona is essential for the dialogue systems to gain trust from the users. Although tremendous advancements have been brought, traditional persona-based dialogue models are typically trained by leveraging a large number of persona-dense dialogue examples. Yet, such persona-dense training data are expensive to obtain, leading to a limited scale. This work presents a novel approach to learning from limited training examples by regarding consistency understanding as a regularization of response generation. To this end, we propose a novel stack-propagation framework for learning a generation and understanding pipeline. Specifically, the framework stacks a Transformer encoder and two Transformer decoders, where the first decoder models response generation and the second serves as a regularizer and jointly models response generation and consistency understanding. The proposed framework can benefit from the stacked encoder and decoders to learn from much smaller personalized dialogue data while maintaining competitive performance. Under different low-resource settings, subjective and objective evaluations prove that the stack-propagation framework outperforms strong baselines in response quality and persona consistency and largely overcomes the shortcomings of traditional models that rely heavily on the persona-dense dialogue data.

Слова, слова, слова: Книги в книгах Данте, Шекспира, Пушкина, Достоевского

“Books within books” as a form of intertextuality is a characteristic phenomenon of all world literature. All the writers listed in the title of the present essay may serve as examples of intertextual dialogue between books, as their works were rooted in preceding sources and in turn became part of later literature. The article, however, is based on a report at a conference which proposed to consider how books appear in other books not only as allusions or sources, but as immediate elements of the text. In this essay two of the research directions, suggested by the organizers, are combined and explored: the books read by literary heroes created by writers who influenced Dostoevsky’s work and the role and the artistic image of books in the art of the Russian writer himself. Consequently, the choice of writers and their texts is not a random selection: Dante, Shakespeare, and Pushkin each in his own way had an impact on Dostoevsky; at the same time, in many of their works books appear as physical objects, being at once both “things” and impulse for the reader to think about. The article explores several of Dostoevsky’s compositions where books by Dante, Shakespeare, Pushkin, and even his own, appear either as part of an intertextual mosaic, or as material “artifacts.” The research shows the deep connections between the authors, both on a level of ideas and through the thematic of books. The end of the paper draws a parallel between the episodes of Dante’s Comedy and Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment where two characters together are reading one book that in both cases becomes a guide to Love.

Эволюция взглядов С. Франка на культуру и религию в контексте полемики с С. Лурье

The article discusses the controversy between Semyon Frank and the publicist Semyon Lurye: the discussion between thinkers has become a rare example of a constructive dialogue unfolded around the collection of articles about the Rus­sian intelligentsia of the early 20th century “Vekhi”. Responding to Lurye’s Crit­icism, Frank wrote an article “Culture and Religion”, Which in many ways better represents Frank’s views of that time then the article “The Ethics and Nihilism” from the collection “Vekhi”. The author analyses in detail the questions posed to Frank by Lurye and shows that the answers he gave in subsequent years became strikingly different from those contained in his earlier works. Moreover, in later years, in the books “The Downfall of Idols” and “Reality and Man” his answers to the questions posed by Lurye began to resemble the views of his opponent rather than his own, set in 1908. This is especially well observed in the analyses of Lurye’s response article “Ideas and Life”, Which Frank has already left with­out a direct answer. An analysis of controversy between Frank and Lurye and of the Frank’s views outlined in later works leads the author to the conclusion that this distinct contradiction of views reveals the non-monolithic nature of Franks philosophy as a whole and forces researchers to hierarchize Frank’s legacy, which was non-linear and accompanied by corrections of his mistakes from earlier works.

ONLINE TEACHING OF ENGLISH FOR LIBRARIANS: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF THE USE OF VOICE NOTE AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THEIR ENGLISH SPEAKING

Objective. This study deals with the use of online teaching of English for librarians using WhatsApp voice notes. This study aimed at figuring out the students’ perspectives regarding the implementation of WhatsApp voice notes in teaching English for Librarian courses and investigating to what extent WhatsApp voice is contributing to their speaking skills.
 Material and Method. Four examples of dialogue in a library context were used in practice involving 68 students taking English as a Librarian subject. The instrument used to collect data for the study was a questionnaire survey and coding and summarizing were used to analyze the data.
 Results. The result of the study showed that the highest percentage (84%) of the participants perceived speaking interchange via voice note as a more helpful way of making and reinforcing their speaking fluency. Independent practice and replayed recordings make their speaking fluency reinforced. The result also showed that the voice notes recordings of their speaking become valuable self-assets for their speaking practice in the library context (76%) and help them recognize new vocabulary and pronunciation in library science (67%).
