DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC ECONOMIC IDEAS BY AL-MAWARDI WITH MONZER KAHF

Islamic economics has emerged since the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Islam has regulated from the beginning the relationship between humans entirely. Since the time of the Prophet, the mujtahids of Islam have formulated Islamic economic Thinking based on the Qur'an and Hadith. This research explores Islamic economic thought through Muslim figures Al-Mawardi and Monzer Kahf. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature study of collecting information and data sourced from various libraries such as journal articles, books, the Internet, and similar previous research results aimed at obtaining information. The results showed that Al-Mawardi formulated Islamic economic ideas such as the establishment of imamah, infrastructure by the state, fulfillment of needs by the state, spending on public services financed by the state, and the establishment of baitul Mal. while Monzer Kahf formulated Islamic economic ideas such as economic activities with Islamic principles run by ibadurrahman, the scale of the dimensions of not only the world but also the afterlife, free from usury, consumption patterns that are not excessive, and the state as the maker of policy and supervision.

Mischievous responders: data quality lessons learned in mental health research

ABSTRACT Internet recruitment methods for research are rapidly evolving as technology and participant preferences do as well. This brings data security concerns, balanced with respect to persons for research participants. Internet recruitment research strategies are still important given the importance of creating private and accessible pathways for potentially marginalized populations or people experiencing stigmatized mental health conditions to participate in research. This manuscript describes the case of social media recruitment for a mental health and racism study in Fall 2022 that was infiltrated by bots. We contextualize it in the context of data quality literature, with considerations for future directions including strategies for study design and management, and further research questions.

Players Don’t Die, They Respawn: a Situational Analysis of Toxic Encounters Arising from Death Events in League of Legends

Online death events constitute integral parts of many competitive online multiplayer games. Nonetheless, research has identified death events as frequently involved in the proceedings of toxic behaviors (Märtens et al., 2015). While much existing research has been attentive towards providing a range of explanations for the emergence of toxic behaviors in online games (see for example Kordyaka et al. in Internet Research, 30(4), 1081–1102, 2020; Kou, 2020; Kowert in Frontiers in Psychology, 11, 2020), research exploring the micro sociological mechanisms involved is currently limited. By applying a micro sociological situational approach to a sample of screen-recorded video data from an observational study of online toxic behaviors in League of Legends, we find that patterns of interactional rituals and situational properties play an important role in whether a death event, in which one or more players are killed, escalates into a toxic encounter. These preliminary results suggest a micro-situational understanding to be explored and refined in future empirical research. From the preliminary findings, a range of potential interventions to mitigate toxic behavior and promote social inclusion in online gaming are suggested. Among these, two types of social-norm interventions, targeting social referents and weakening social norms, align well with the main findings.

Dental Treatment and Risk of COVID-19 in Japan.

During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there has been concern about nosocomial infections acquired through dental practice, where machines - such as air turbines - that generate aerosols are used, and where there are many opportunities to come into contact with saliva and blood. Because there is no report to date on whether dental treatment is associated with a risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Japan, the aim of the present cross-sectional study was to examine the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection associated with dental treatment. Cross-sectional data were gathered from the Japan COVID-19 and Society Internet Survey (JACSIS), a large-scale internet survey conducted in 2021 (n=28,175). From September 27, 2021, to October 30, 2021, the questionnaires were distributed to candidates selected from the panelists of a Japanese Internet research company to represent the Japanese population regarding age, sex, and residential prefecture using a simple random sampling procedure. The risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection related to dental treatment was examined and analysed. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that younger age, male sex and living alone were statistically significant factors positively associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, whereas the presence or absence of dental treatment was not statistically significantly correlated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The present epidemiological study showed that dental treatment is not a positive risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection in Japan.

The applications of chatbot

A chatbot is a program that uses natural language to simulate a human conversation. and can receive questions from users to answer, as well as engage in casual conversation with users in a set format or help them complete a matter. It can free up personnel in an organization that is needed for reasonably stable, repetitive, and demanding tasks or procedures. Natural language processing (NLP), an essential aspect of artificial intelligence, forms the foundation of the system., and neural networks (NNs) that receive natural language and process responses. In recent years, chatbots have grown significantly with the rise of artificial intelligence, with achievements by major Internet companies, various universities, and research institutes. This review provides a detailed study of chatbots in five areas of intelligence in recent years, including education, intelligent question and answer, customer service, entertainment, and personal assistants. The goal is to summarize the cutting-edge and effective technologies in each area. In reviewing these papers, we pay closer attention to the technology in this paper's potential development possibilities and whether relevant experiments or detailed descriptions are done for the proposed future extensions, etc. While we discuss and study the current technologies, we also pay attention to the possibilities and trends in the development of new fields.

Negotiating Islam: A Study on the Debus Fatwa of the Indonesian Council of Ulama in Banten

Unlike most works which study and focus on discussing fatwa (religious edicts) produced by the Indonesian Council of Ulama (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI) at the central level, I focus on one of the fatwas produced by MUI at the regional level. In this article, I examine a fatwa on debus (a traditional martial arts performance that is imbued with supernatural powers) issued by the provincial MUI branch in Banten during a regional meeting involving all MUI branches from Java and Lampung, held in August 2009 in Serang City, Banten. Based on the data collected from key informants and internet research, including contemporary analysis, I argue that although fatwas are non-binding, a fatwa can also be negotiated based on the political, social, and cultural circumstances of a region. In other words, the power and influence of religious authority can be mitigated when it collides with the interests of a powerful group in a society. I also argue that MUI branches at the regional level are closely linked to the national MUI office’s policies and interests in upholding Islamic conservatism in Indonesia. This article provides further analysis dealing with religious authority in the Indonesian context, highlighting once again that this authority is never monolithic or absolute.

Deconstructing innovation in the wood furniture industry in Kenya

Innovation is often considered to be a critical component of enterprise competitive advantage. Continuous innovation is necessary to allow firms to better meet consumer needs, stay ahead of the competition, capitalize on strategic market opportunities, and align organizational strengths with market opportunities. In this research, innovation was deconstructed into product, process, and business systems innovations. A model was then developed and used to examine the relationships between innovation constructs and demographic and management attributes of wood furniture firms in Kenya. Results show significant differences in product innovation between micro- and medium-size furniture firms, and between small- and medium-size firms. There were also significant regional differences in all innovation types. Overall, the most significant predictors of innovation were company location and rewards for implementing innovation. Other statistically significant innovation predictors were Internet use and research and development expenditures.

A multi-centre prospective evaluation of internet research habits among owners seeing a veterinary oncologist.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the internet-use among pet owners seeing a veterinary oncologist. Over a two-month period, 137 questionnaires were collected at three specialty hospitals around a large urban city. Approximately 85% of respondents reported using the internet to research their pet's condition and/or treatment. A search engine was the most employed means however veterinary university websites were considered to provide the most accurate information. The odds of owners who researched their own health condition online researching their pet's condition was 4.3 (95% CI: 1.2-23.1, p < .021) times as high as owners who did not research their own health condition. The odds of owners who have been to their oncologist previously to research their pet's condition was 4.7 (95% CI: 26.9.3, p < .001) times as high than owners who have not been to an oncologist previously. Oncologists should be aware internet use among pet owners appears common and further research to assess the accuracy and readability of veterinary medical websites appears indicated.

Construction of intelligent terminal equipment for Electric Internet of Things based on edge computing model

Abstract In order to solve the problem of electric Internet of Things intelligent terminal equipment construction, in this essay, aiming at the research of electric Internet of Things networking scheme, an electric Internet of Things intelligent terminal equipment system with edge computing technology is designed. Through MATLAB2017 simulation of electric intelligent terminal equipment effect diagram, the test hardware environment uses Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU@3.40 GHz type processor, and data memory is 160 GB, The server operating system is WindowsServer2017. The results show that the success rate of edge computing in cloud data networking is not superior to the other two methods. The success rate of networking is 40%~50%, but the success rate of networking data is significantly higher than that of optical fiber communication and terminal access networking. The success rate of edge computing networking can reach 70%, while the success rate of terminal access networking is about 55%. Fiber optic communications can only reach 45%. Compared with the other two methods, edge computing is more stable and has a higher success rate. This system has short communication delay and large communication pulse width, which can not only solve the problem of long delay time in traditional networking mode, but also use fewer communication lines and save power resources.

Status exploration and analysis of regional hospice and palliative care networks in Germany: A protocol for a mixed-methods study.

Multi-professional cooperation between healthcare providers is a key quality criterion of hospice and palliative care. While hospice and palliative care networks can support cooperation on a local level, opportunities for wider cooperation through the establishment and development of regional hospice and palliative care networks in Germany have not yet been explored systematically. The HOPAN study aims at: (1) identifying regional hospice and palliative care networks in Germany, (2) analysing these networks using an adapted quality assessment tool, and (3) proposing setting-sensitive recommendations for network development and exploring the benefits of these recommendations. HOPAN is a prospective, observational, mixed-methods study comprising three work packages (WPs). In WP1, the stock of regional hospice and palliative care networks in Germany will be identified via database, literature, and internet research. In WP2a, focus groups will be conducted to adapt an existing maturity model for healthcare networks to regional hospice and palliative care networks. In WP2b, a questionnaire will be sent to each identified regional hospice and palliative care network to gain insight into their structure and status of development. In WP2c, group discussions will be conducted to develop setting-sensitive recommendations for these networks. Finally, in WP3, these recommendations will be sent to all participating hospice and palliative care networks, and the benefits of the recommendations will be evaluated via a questionnaire. Empirically developed setting-sensitive recommendations should enable the systematic establishment and management of regional hospice and palliative care networks in Germany, considering the specific needs and potential of each network. The study findings are expected to improve the overall development of hospice and palliative care services. The study was prospectively registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien) (Registration N° DRKS00030629; date of registration: 02 November 2022). The study is searchable under the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform Search Portal of the World Health Organization, under the German Clinical Trials Register number.

Association between social support and mutual-support needs among the rural adults in China: a cross-sectional study.

In rural China, there is now a huge gap between the supply and demand for old-age care. To close the gap, developing rural mutual old-age services is extremely important. The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship among social support, mutual support need, and mutual support willingness. We conducted an online questionnaire survey using a Chinese Internet research company; 2,102 valid responses were received. The measures comprised the Social Support Rating Scale, the Mutual Support Willingness Questionnaire, and the Mutual Support Needs Scale. We calculated Pearson correlations to explore the association of social support with mutual-support need and mutual-support-need willingness. Multivariate analyses were also conducted using these factors as dependent variables. The total score for the mutual support need for the adults in rural areas was 58.0 ± 12.1 and 36.96 ± 6.40 for social support, approximately 86.8% of the participants were willing to participate in mutual support. Furthermore, mutual support needs were positively correlated with subjective support (p < 0.01) and support utilization (p < 0.01), but negatively correlated with willingness to support each other (p < 0.05). The need for mutual support was also associated with age, sex, education level, dissatisfaction with the current economic situation, health status, and so on. It is necessary for government and health care providers to assess the different needs of rural older people and encourage individuals and organizations to provide mutual support for older people, especially to enhance emotional care for older people and improve their use of support. This is of great significance for developing mutual support services in rural China.

What is ethnographic about digital ethnography? A sociological perspective.

When COVID-19 health guidelines vastly restricted or shut down in-person ethnographic research in 2020, many researchers pivoted to forms of online qualitative research using platforms such as WeChat, Twitter, and Discord. This growing body of qualitative internet research in sociology is often encapsulated under the umbrella term "digital ethnography." But the question of what makes digital qualitative research ethnographic remains open. In this article, we posit that digital ethnographic research necessitates a negotiation of the ethnographer's self-presentation and co-presence within the field that other forms of qualitative research, such as content or discourse analysis, do not require to satisfy their epistemological stance. To make our case, we provide a brief overview of digital research in sociology and related disciplines. Then, we draw upon our experiences conducting ethnographies in digital communities and in-person communities (what we call here, "analog ethnography") to explore how decisions about self-presentation and co-presence facilitate or block the generation of meaningful ethnographic data. We think through pertinent questions such as: Does the lower barrier for anonymity online justify disguised research? Does anonymity generate thicker data? How should digital ethnographers participate in research environments? What are the possible repercussions of digital participation? We argue that digital and analog ethnographies share a common epistemology that is distinct from non-participatory forms of qualitative digital research-namely the need for the researcher to relationally gather data from the field site over an extended period of time.
