Odinala Traditional Religion as Part of Igbo Catholic Christian Identity

Although recent statistics indicate that the majority of the Igbo – an ethnic group living mainly in West African Nigeria – claim to be Christian (of various denominations), their religious identity is in fact more complex: the Igbo do not forget their traditional Odinala religion and practice it together with Christianity without intermingling (multiple religious identity) or in syncretism with Christianity. Odinala is, in short, a polytheistic religious system where the highest reverence belongs to the god Chukwu. The aim of this article is firstly to give an introduction to the traditional Igbo religion of Odinala and secondly its influence on the co-formation of the identity of the Igbo – we choose for the purpose of this article – Catholic Christian. Through the ontological categories of Odinala religion, the paper examines how Odinala shapes the Igbo worldview, how it co-constitutes Igbo identity and helps to establish the ontological category of the human person. The topic is developed through a field research method, reinforced by a comparison of relevant literature.

Analytic autoethnography: Centering students’ linguistic and cultural experiences in assessment

utoethnography is often used as a field research method and by educators to foster intersectionality in, and critical reflection upon, their own pedagogy. However, autoethnography is not commonly used as an assessment tool. There appears to be no literature on its use in a linguistics course, and this paper aims to address that gap. Analytic autoethnography is a productive assessment method for a linguistics course. The goal of analytic autoethnography is to connect one’s lived experience to theoretical concepts and research. I argue that using analytic autoethnography as an assessment method can help students critically reflect on their own lived linguistic and cultural experiences and to connect these to course content. Importantly, I argue that the assessment is more meaningful and more inclusive than standard exams. Additionally, analytic autoethnography is well suited to antiracist teaching as it requires students to examine the ways linguistic privilege and discrimination have affected their own lives and their communities of practice, thereby creating a linguistics classroom that is inclusive of all students’ linguistic and cultural identities. As analytic autoethnography is written using the authors’ native dialect(s) and language(s), it mitigates the privileging of Standard English in the classroom and puts into practice linguistic justice.

Menakar Kebijakan Pendampingan Self Declare Halal oleh Perguruan Tinggi (Studi Kasus di Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Sidoarjo dan Uin Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang)

This study examines various government efforts to encourage halal product assurance, especially through the creation of derivative regulations and the establishment of the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH). However, small to micro-scale business actors still need help, especially related to registration fees and understanding the importance of halal certification. The study aims to explain the role of universities in East Java in assisting halal certification for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) while analyzing the legal aspects and maqashid sharia. Using field research methods and qualitative approaches, it was found that the role of universities is as PPH assistants for MSEs who meet the halal certification criteria through the self-declare route. The implementation of self-declare halal assistance is faced with the obstacle of maintaining the activeness of registered PPH assistants, and there are still business actors who need to meet the requirements in the assistance process, such as lack of information on materials and expired material certification. An effective monitoring system is required to overcome potential errors in the halal certification process. Universities are also expected to be able to create program innovations to strengthen and activate the role of PPH assistants. The government, in this case, especially BPJPH, also needs to create a more consistent policy regarding halal certification registration through the application so that the criteria of the Halal Product Assurance System (SJPH), which is built on five basic principle frameworks (arkanul halal) can be met.

The Implementation of Parental Obligations in the Fulfillment of Children’s Rights: A Case Study in Banjaran Godang Village Based on the Compilation of Islamic Law and the Child Protection Law

This research aims to examine the implementation of parental obligations in Banjaran Godang Village in fulfilling children’s rights, specifically the right to education, play, and growth and development, based on the Compilation of Islamic Law and the Child Protection Law. This study adopts a combined approach, namely qualitative with the field research method and normative, by analyzing data qualitatively to describe the problem and answer the research objectives. The results showed that implementing parental obligation in fulfilling children’s rights in Banjaran Godang Village is not fully aligned with the Compilation of Islamic Law and Child Protection Law. There is a misunderstanding among parents who consider formal education merely Sunnah and prioritize trading and farming skills, based on their interpretation of the life of the Prophet Muhammad SAW in his childhood. As a result, children’s rights to play, grow, and develop are neglected. Therefore, it is recommended that the Banjaran Godang Village Government develop a comprehensive and sustainable counseling and outreach program regarding children’s rights and parental obligations. This program should involve religious leaders to correct misunderstandings about formal education in Islam, experts in the field of child protection to provide a comprehensive understanding of children’s rights, and related institutions to optimize program implementation.

Research on the Relationship between Urban and Rural Educational Resources Allocation and Educational Equity

This comprehensive study delves deeply into the relationship between the allocation of educational resources in urban and rural areas and educational equity. It takes the unbalanced distribution of educational resources between urban and rural regions as its starting point and employs quantitative analysis and field research methods to explore this complex relationship. The findings reveal that the uneven allocation of educational resources has a significant negative impact on educational equity, resulting in a substantial disparity between urban and rural students in terms of access to high-quality education. Policy attention deviation, an imperfect management mechanism, and insufficient investment in education are identified as the key reasons for this unbalanced allocation. Consequently, this study recommends that policymakers increase investment in rural education, reform the management mechanism, and optimize resource allocation to promote the realization of educational equity. The results of this research hold great significance for understanding the unequal distribution of urban and rural educational resources and providing valuable references for policymaking.

Rapid assessment of human–elephant conflict: a crime science approach

An interdisciplinary approach has the potential not only to help solve conservation-centric problems but also to enrich and improve evidence-based scientific research. Crime science, an offshoot of criminology, provides a comprehensive, solution-oriented approach that transcends disciplinary boundaries and bridges science and practice for developing effective conservation interventions to real-life problems such as Human Elephant Conflict (HEC). This paper focuses on HEC as a conservation concern, but the resultant behaviors toward elephants, people, and their property are criminology’s concern. Using the Action Research paradigm, a rapid assessment of human–elephant conflict (HEC) in India was undertaken to identify contextual solutions. This study utilized problem-oriented field research methods that enabled the gathering of data on elephant habitat-landscape, villagers’ lifestyle (habitat) in the fringe areas, their current approaches in dealing with the conflict, the challenges forest officials face to mitigate HEC, and the assistance provided by district administrators to protect villagers and their corps and HEC-related deaths. The qualitative inquiry, including observation of village-forest fringe areas, focus group discussions with villagers, and interviews with forest officers and rangers, and district administrators/collectors who are handlers, guardians, and managers of the conflict space, provided rich data in identifying situational practical measures and underscored the role of crime science in providing a conceptual framework to gather evidence in addressing HEC in forest areas. The findings of the research suggest that human–animal convergence space is the source (or location) of conflict and criminology-driven situational crime prevention measures, including increasing effort, risks, reducing rewards and provocations, and removing excuses might mitigate the conflict, requiring coordinated efforts by villagers, forest and district administrators, and local law enforcers.

Analysis of the Masjids of the Great Seljukid Caravanserais: Case Study of Ribati Sherif

“Ribat”, an Arabic word, means “keeping watch along the border to prevent enemy attacks”. In the history of Islamic architecture, it was used for the structures where soldiers tied their horses and kept watch along the borders. In addition to military training, worship and scientific activities were also important in ribats. Volunteer soldiers, called Muraabituun, would spend their time outside of military training with Qur’an reading, worship and dhikr, and prepare themselves for jihad. Therefore, the military function and the spiritual dimension were intertwined from the beginning. The masjids of the ribats are of great importance when evaluated in this context. The first ribats were built in Central Asia from the VIII century onwards. The Great Seljuks built ribats following the Samanids and Ghaznavids. Ribati Sherif, which is the subject of the research, is one of the most mature examples of the Great Seljukid ribats. Kâtib Ali al-Mansûr Asad b. Muhammed es-Sarahsî was the architect of the caravanserai, which is thought to have been built by the governor Şerefü’d-Dîn Ebû Tâhir b. Sa’d b. Ali b. İsa al-Kûmmî, in 1114-1115 and later became the vizier of Sultan Sanjar. Within the scope of this study, the architectural features and decorations of the two masjids of Ribati Sherif were analysed and evaluated within the architectural heritage of the Great Seljuks. As a result of the research in which literature review and field research methods were used as data collection methods, it is seen that the details of the Great Seljuk plan scheme, building technique, and ornamentation art can be called standardised spread over a large area.

Based on the results of documentary production, it is found that the reason people use the service of making paslu number plates is because the original plate is damaged, avoiding the police to get a ticket, and also the reason for avoiding bureaucracy related to Foreign Citizens (WNA).

Влияние разных садовых конструкций на биохимический состав плодов персика в условиях Крыма

Abstract. The natural and climatic conditions of Crimea make it possible to grow high-quality fruit crops with high marketability of fruits, which are suitable for both processing and fresh consumption. Due to the instability of some environmental factors, as well as global climate change, research is relevant to predict the nutritional value of fruits and the economic effect of growing certain varieties. The article presents the results of a comparative assessment of the accumulation of biochemical active substances in peach fruits (Persica vulgaris (Mill.) variety Redhaven on almond rootstock, growing in the conditions of the foothills of the Crimea. The work was carried out using field research methods with fruit crops. It was established that meteorological conditions and the type of orchard structures influence the content of biochemically active substances in peach fruits, which varied within the following range: vitamin C – 11.7-15.9 mg %; titratable acids – 0.61-1.07 %; sugars – 10.3-13.4 % and dry soluble substances – 9.5-18.0 %. Features of the construction of spindle-shaped and bush crowns contribute to the accumulation of leukoanthocyanins in fruits by 2.6-2.7 times and phenolic compounds by 1.5-1.8 times more than in the fruits of the cup-shaped crown (control, 28 mg/100g and 30.0 mg/100g, respectively). At the same time, it should be noted that the use of orchard structures in denser plantings (1666-2500 trees/ha) contributes to the accumulation of fruits of the best taste according to all biochemical indicators. The factors influencing the content of basic chemicals in fruits when growing peaches without irrigation in the foothill zone of Crimea have been identified. Keywords: peach, fruits, biochemical composition, weather conditions, crown shape, planting scheme, garden structures
